Dec. 26, 1620 – Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Harbor
Associated locations:
Plymouth, Massachusets
“The Pilgrims of Plymouth, the Calverts of Maryland, Roger Williams, William Penn — all had deep religious convictions that played a principal part in their coming to the New World. They . . . came here under the inspiration of heaven (1 Nephi 13:13.)” 1
Persecution in England
The Pilgrims diligently followed the commandments of God and taught that the former Church had become corrupt. Those reformers who saw the evil of these things [religious apostasy], and whose hearts the Lord had touched with heavenly zeal for his truth, shook off this yoke of anti-Christian bondage and as the Lord’s free people joined themselves together by covenant as a church, in the fellowship of the gospel to walk in all His ways, made known, or to be made known to them, according to their best endeavours, whatever it should cost them, the Lord assisting them.2
Separatists
Persecutions then followed. The leaders, both political and religious, continued a severe persecution of those that were true followers of the Lord. Finally: . . . at length they began to persecute all the zealous reformers in the land, unless they would submit to their ceremonies and become slaves to them and their popish trash, which has no ground in the word of God, but is a relic of that man of sin. 3As time progressed the persecution became so intense that the Pilgrims had no choice but to separate themselves from those that desired their destruction. Many of the histories are graphic in detail of the persecution and torture. They were hunted and persecuted on every side, until their former afflictions were but as fleabitings in comparison. Some were clapped into prison; others had their houses watched night and day, and escaped with difficulty; and most were obliged to fly, and leave their homes and means of livelihood. . . . For these reformers to be thus constrained to leave their native soil, their lands and livings, and all their friends, was a great sacrifice, and was wondered at by many.4
Attempts of escape to Holland
Faith is born of adversity and sanctification comes by blood. One experience illustrates the depth of sacrifice that was required. A group of the Pilgrims had hired a ship to transport them in an attempt to escape from England to Holland. The master of the ship allowed them to load all of their earthly belongings onto the vessel, and then betrayed them into the hands of the authorities. After being rifled and ransacked, the women immodestly, they were drug through the community as the townspeople jeered and taunted on either side. After months of imprisonment most were finally released, while the Pilgrim leaders were bound over for yet more humiliation and examination. The following spring another attempt was made, this time with a Dutch ship. The Pilgrims were to meet the ship between Grimsbe and Hull in a large common. The women and children were sent by a small boat and the men traveled by land each arriving a day before the ship. The women were very sick and the boat was moved to low water near an opening. When the ship arrived the following morning, the boat containing the women and children was fixed on the land and could not move. The captain of the ship, realizing that it would be some time before the women and children could be loaded, commenced loading the men first. Just as the loading of the men was finished, . . . the master espied a great company, both horse and foot, with bills, and guns, and other weapons; for the country was raised to take them. The Dutchman seeing that, swore his countries oath, “sacrament,” and having the fair wind, weighed his anchor, hoisted sails, and away. But the poor men which were got aboard, were in great distress for their wives and children, which they saw thus to be taken, and were left destitute of their helps; and themselves also, not having clothes to shift them with, more then they had on their backs, and some scarce a penny about them, all they had being aboard the barke [women’s boat]. It drew tears from their eyes, and anything they had they would have given to have been ashore again; but all in vain, there was no remedy, they must thus sadly part.5The women and children were left defenseless before the authorities as their husbands were taken out to sea. . . . pitiful it was to see the heavy case of these poor women in this distress; what weeping and crying on every side, some for their husbands, that were carried away in the ship as is before related; others not knowing what should become of them, and their little ones; others again melted in tears, seeing their poor little ones hanging about them, crying for fear, and quaking with cold. Being thus apprehended, they were hurried from one place to another, and from one justice to another, till in the end they knew not what to do with them;6The women and children were taken from one constable to the next enduring great ridicule and privation. The authorities could not decide what to do with them. They had no homes to return them to. They could not hold so many women and children in prison as they had not broken the law. They could not be released as the people would cry out. In the end the authorities tired of the situation and of necessity obtained their release. The men received their share of the trial as well. Shortly after embarking a violent storm arose in which they did not see the sun, moon or stars for seven days. They were driven near the shores of Norway and the hearts of the captain and crew fainted with fear. The men however did not despair that the Lord could deliver them. [with] fervent prayers they cried unto the Lord in this great distress (especially some of them,) even without any great distraction, when the water ran into their mouths and ears; and the mariners cried out, “We sink, we sink”; they cried (if not with miraculous, yet with a great height or degree of divine faith), “Yet Lord thou canst save, yet Lord thou canst save”;7At this time the ship recovered and shortly after the violence of the storm abated. The Lord spoke peace to their hearts and minds, and when they reached the shore the people came running in amazement that anyone could be saved from such a storm.
Decision to Leave Holland
The Embarkation of the Pilgrims, U.S. Capitol
“After they had lived here [Leyden] for some eleven or twelve years . . . the grave mistress, Experience, having taught them much, their prudent governors began to apprehend present dangers and to scan the future and think of timely remedy. After much thought and discourse on the subject, they began at length to incline to the idea of removal to some other place; not out of any new-fangledness or other such giddy humour, which often influences people to their detriment and danger, but for many important reasons.”8William Bradford, in the book Of Plymouth Plantation, listed the reasons that moved the congregation of Pilgrims in Leyden to settle in Ameria. The last these stated: Last and not least, they cherished a great hope and inward zeal of laying good foundations, or at least making some ways toward it, for the propagation and advance of the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in the remote parts of the world, even though they should be but stepping stones to others in the performance of so great a work. Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand that made all things of nothing, and gives being to all things that are; and, as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many, yea in some sort to our whole nation; let the glorious name of Jehovah have all the praise.9
It is likely that our Pilgrim Founders invited the Indians to the famous Thanksgiving feast because of the instruction in Deuteronomy to invite the “stranger”. Perhaps it was also because they felt a common kinship with this other remnant of the house of Israel.
The First Thanksgiving, Brownscombe
Eye-Witness Accounts of the Thanksgiving:
The Thanksgiving Story as Told By William Bradford Our harvest being gotten in, our governour sent foure men on fowling, that so we might after a speciall manner rejoyce together, after we had gathered the fruits of our labours ; they foure in one day killed as much fowle, as with a little helpe beside, served the Company almost a weeke, at which time amongst other Recreations, we exercised our Armes, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst the rest their greatest king Massasoyt, with some ninetie men, whom for three dayes we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five Deere, which they brought to the Plantation and bestowed on our Governour, and upon the Captaine and others. And although it be not always so plentifull, as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so farre from want, that we often wish you partakers of our plentie.The Thanksgiving Story as Told by Edward Winslow Our harvest being gotten in, our governour sent foure men on fowling, that so we might after a speciall manner rejoyce together, after we had gathered the fruits of our labours ; they foure in one day killed as much fowle, as with a little helpe beside, served the Company almost a weeke, at which time amongst other Recreations, we exercised our Armes, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst the rest their greatest king Massasoyt, with some ninetie men, whom for three dayes we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five Deere, which they brought to the Plantation and bestowed on our Governour, and upon the Captaine and others. And although it be not always so plentifull, as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so farre from want, that we often wish you partakers of our plentie.
Drought Miracle
In 1623, three years after the arrival of the Pilgrims, a severe drought was destroying their crops and survival. The Plymouth magistrates called the people together for a day of prayer and fasting. Edward Winslow recorded the miracle that followed:
To that end a day was set apart by public authority, and set apart from all other employments, hoping that the same God who had stirred us up hereunto, would be moved hereby in mercy to look down upon us, and grant the request of our dejected souls. . . . For though in the morning when we assembled together, the heavens were as clear and the drought as like to continue as ever it was; yet (our exercise continuing some eight or nine hours) before our departure the weather was over-cast, the clouds gathered together on all sides, and on the next morning distilled such soft, sweet, and mild showers of rain, continuing some fourteen days, and mixed with such seasonable weather as it was hard to say whither our weathered corn or dropping affections were most quickened or revived. Such was the bounty and goodness of our God. . . . And although it be not always so plentifull as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so farre from want. . .” 10
Nephi’s Vision
President Benson stated, “God revealed to his ancient American prophets that shortly after the discovery of America there would be peoples in Europe who would desire to escape the persecution and tyranny of the Old World and flee to America. (1 Nephi 13:13-16)”11 Taken from 1 Nephi 13 “And it came to pass that I saw among the nations of the Gentiles the formation of a great church. “And the angel said unto me: Behold the formation of a church which is most abominable above all other churches, which slayeth the saints of God, yea, and tortureth them and bindeth them down, and yoketh them with a yoke of iron, and bringeth them down into captivity. “And it came to pass that I beheld the Spirit of God, that it wrought upon other Gentiles; and they went forth out of captivity, upon the many waters. “And it came to pass that I beheld many multitudes of the Gentiles upon the land of promise; . . . “And I beheld the Spirit of the Lord, that it was upon the Gentiles, and they did prosper and obtain the land for their inheritance; and I beheld that they were white, and exceedingly fair and beautiful, like unto my people before they were slain. “And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld that the Gentiles who had gone forth out of captivity did humble themselves before the Lord; and the power of the Lord was with them.” 12
Inspired Mission and Statements
May not and ought not the children of these fathers rightly say: “Our fathers were Englishmen which came over this great ocean, and were ready to perish in this wilderness; but they cried unto the Lord, and he heard their voice, and looked on their adversity, etc.” Let them therefore praise the Lord, because he is good, and his mercies endure forever. Yea, let them which have been redeemed of the Lord, show how he hath delivered them from the hand of the oppressor. When they wandered in the desert wilderness out of the way, and found no city to dwell in, both hungry, and thirsty, their soul was overwhelmed in them. Let them confess before the Lord his loving kindness, and his wonderful works before the sons of men.”13
Character of Pilgrims
Nineteenth century historian James Thatcher, co-founder of the Pilgrim Society, stated that the Pilgrims “held the bible in estimation as the basis of all laws; and the precepts of the gospel [to be] the rules of their lives and the fountains of their dearest hopes. It was the interwoven sentiment of their hearts that the sovereign power resides with the people, and this was the fundamental axiom upon which their government was reared.” (Perry Miller and Thomas H. Johnson, The Puritans: A Sourcebook of Their Writings, New York: Harper & Row, 1963: 181; Calvinism and the Political Order, edited by George L. Hunt, Philadelphia: Westminster, 1965: 185; Thatcher, History of Plymouth: 81.)
Etymology of the word “Pilgrim”
The first use of the word pilgrims for the Mayflower passengers appeared in William Bradford’s Of Plymouth Plantation. As he finished recounting his group’s July 1620 departure from Leiden, Bradford used the imagery of Hebrews 11:13–16, about Old Testament “strangers and pilgrims” who had opportunity to return to their old country but instead longed for a better, heavenly country. Bradford wrote: So they lefte [that] goodly & pleasante citie, which had been ther resting place, nere 12 years; but they knew they were pilgrimes, & looked not much on these things; but lift up their eyes to ye heavens, their dearest cuntrie, and quieted their spirits.
Presidents of the Church
It was a divine way in which this nation began. The rules of conduct were taken from the Decalogue, from the Bible, from the Gospels and other scriptures. They kept a sacred Sabbath. They maintained other high standards. They frowned upon profanity and other vices. They prohibited gambling. They encouraged people not to keep bad company, to repeat no grievances. They emphasized the spiritual values.14 You may also be interested in:

KarenS Mini Review: Wanted By Her Lost Love by Maya Banks
Posted in: Karen's Capsule Reviews, reviews
I’m such a Maya Banks fangirl. Her writing seems to get better and better, and better. Read the KGI, series if you don’t believe me.
She sent me three of her latest category books from the Pregnancy and Passion line, and I love her for that. Maya, Shiloh Walker, and Dee Tenorio are three authors who consistently send me books despite my rarely reviewing them. In case I’ve never said it before, I’m ever so appreciative of this, especially when one considers that I live in England, so postage is probably quite expensive.
Anyway, here’s the blurb for the book from the back cover:
Despite his fiancee’s chilling betrayal, developer Ryan Beardsley provided for Kelly Christian when he sent her packing. So he’s livid to find her working in a dingy Houston diner, desperate and pregnant. Regardless of whether the baby is his–or his brother’s–Ryan demands that Kelly return to New York with him. Now. For the baby’s sake. Or maybe because the woman’s as irresistible as ever…
This was the review that I posted at Goodreads:
You know, I considered giving this book just three stars, then I asked myself if there was anything about it that I didn’t like, and I can honestly say that the answer was no. It probably seems odd that I haven’t given it 5 stars, if that was the case, but for me, 5 star books are all about an emotional journey that takes its toll on me as a reader, and that’s pretty hard to find in your average category length book, however I really, really liked Wanted By Her Lost Love.
I loved the heroine and the hero, as a couple and as individuals. Ryan was basically a good guy, who took the word of his brother over that of his fiancée, but honestly, that whole mess made total sense to me. I liked Kelly because she had heart, and she refused to play games and act all coy about her feelings for Ryan, despite his lack of faith and trust in her.
I loved the fact that even though Ryan felt betrayed by Kelly, he still cared enough about her to worry about her well-being. I liked that he was able to look beyond his own hurt and pain. Many readers may question why he was so quick to believe his brother over Kelly, but as a person with beloved siblings, I totally got it.
Something else that worked really well for me was the fact that Banks didn’t try to tie things up into a nice neat bow with regards to Ryan’s family at the end of the book. Sometimes there are acts that are too vile to forgive, and I loved the way that the author handles the final confrontation.
Maya Banks weaves a great story here, and the emotional depth that she manages to give her characters was impressive for a category length book. I actually cried towards the end of this book, and the only category writer that’s managed that feat in a while, was Sarah Mayberry.
All in all, a superbly weaved story, with compelling characters, and a great grovel scene.:) Nice work Maya Banks.

Crossover Jets Gain Advantage From New Avionics
Bernie Baldwin
l“Beauty is only skin deep” goes the phrase. And while the manufacturers of crossover narrowbody jets will claim that their aircraft lives up to Geoffrey de Havilland’s maxim of “If it looks right, it is right,” they know that what is under the skin makes a huge difference to performance.
Development in avionics systems in particular, has enabled these aircraft to operate more efficiently, whether through the avionics’ own functionality, decreases in size, lower heat generation or a variety of other attributes.
Two of the clean-sheet crossover jet designs—the Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ) and Bombardier C Series—opted for the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion suite. For the former, working from a blank page “enabled the MRJ engineering teams to design around the latest technologies instead of being constrained by existing system architectures,” a company spokesperson notes. “The Pro Line Fusion system is simple to operate and flexible enough to accommodate future airspace enhancements.
“The suite integrates all aeronautical, navigation, communication, surveillance, and engine indication and crew-alerting system information into one large, graphically rich display system,” the spokesperson adds. “This integrated flight deck technology clearly displays essential flight information to the crew, enabling an intuitive, reduced-workload flying experience.”
Antonio Ficca, director of product marketing at Bombardier Commercial Aircraft, explains, “Working with Rockwell Collins, Bombardier invested countless hours of human factors development to produce a finely tuned human–machine interface that leads to reduced cost through increased operational efficiency and reduced pilot training time.”
Referring to the suite’s functionality and flexibility, Ficca adds, “Pro Line Fusion avionics allows crews to transition easily from other aircraft types into fully intuitive and graphical interfaces. The interface is easily accessible by the control-cursor device and other well-located control panels such as the radio tuning panel on the glareshield. Clutter on displays and panels has been significantly reduced. Harmonization prevails throughout the various interfaces, including flight symbologies in the primary flight display (PFD) and the head-up display. And the scalable architecture allows for future growth with minimal requirement for additional components.”
According to Ficca, Pro Line Fusion also brings weight and power savings due to the higher integration of the cockpit, thus minimizing the total number of components. “For instance, the five LCDs are fully interchangeable and can accommodate information from multiple systems, reducing the need for additional components,” he observes.
Mitsubishi and Bombardier have similar reasons for selecting the Rockwell Collins suite. The former notes the value of “four 15-in., side-by-side displays [that] are coupled with a number of quick access keys, allowing pilots to easily view important information.” The company spokesperson also highlights the importance of “the advanced graphical flight planning that eases pilot workload when navigating around weather or modifying complex flight plans.”
Ficca believes a major differentiating factor in Pro Line Fusion’s favor is that it blends naturally within the broader flight deck design of the C Series, which is based on “a user-centered design process that enhanced situational awareness, optimized crew workload and prevented interface-related errors.”
Bonnie Berg, principal marketing manager of business aviation for Rockwell Collins, also highlights the integration of functions into the large LCD displays and adds, “They are significantly lighter than CRT avionics displays of the past, and provide greater situational awareness for the pilots through feature-rich, icon-based controls.”
As for its advantages over competing systems, Berg remarks, “Pro Line Fusion delivers a comprehensive set of functionalities that enables flight crews to complete their mission anywhere in the world. [Its] ability to adapt as new features are developed and airspace requirements change is a great benefit for our customers.”
The Sukhoi Superjet 100 has a Thales Avionics suite which, coming from the same manufacturer, is very similar to most Airbus cockpits, although Superjet International senior vice president for commercial Stewart Cordner believes the SSJ100’s suite “is slightly more advanced.” However, there is enough commonality for an Airbus pilot to make the transition to an SSJ100—each have a sidestick and fly-by-wire controls—with only a short amount of training.
While all three aircraft types mentioned are clean-sheet designs, for its E-Jets E2 family, Embraer clearly was not going to change the double-bubble fuselage it so painstakingly designed. Under the skin is a different story. The company went back to Honeywell to select the new Primus Epic II avionics suite.
E2 Program Director Fernando Antonio Oliveira, explains why: “Primus Epic II utilizes next-generation flight-management technology, providing greener operations with more direct flights, ultimately using less fuel,” he begins. “The integrated architecture allows for future functionality growth, periodic technology refresh and future communication, navigation surveillance/air traffic management requirements.
“The current five 8 X 10-in. displays in current E-Jets were replaced by four 13 X 10-in.-large landscape displays with advanced graphics capabilities supporting optional functions such as synthetic vision, chart and maps, graphical flight planning and both volumetric and graphical weather information,” Oliveira adds. “The larger displays mean more information can be grouped into a single screen while maintaining the pilot’s situational awareness.”
Marc Herdegen, senior product marketing director of cockpit systems at Honeywell Aerospace, says the E2 brings some of the most advanced avionics features available on today’s best-in-class business jets to airline operations. Like Oliveira, he cites Honeywell’s SVS (synthetic vision system) as an example, as it “brings industry-leading situational awareness to airline flight crews.”
Herdegen points out that his company’s GLS (GPS landing system) Category I has not yet been implemented on a small airliner, but it is an option on E2 models. “Additionally, the flightpath and speed management optimization provided by our next-generation [flight management system] allows E2 operators to reliably fly the best profiles for minimum fuel or maintenance cost, improving airline profitability,” he emphasizes.
“eCharts brings the capability to fly paperless, streamlining airline operations support while allowing airline crews to seamlessly display high-quality charts on the PFDs,” Herdegen continues. “The Advanced RAAS [Runway Awareness and Advisory System] reduces the probability E2 flight crews will ever operate with reduced takeoff or landing safety margins without warning. Overall, Honeywell’s Epic system brings 99.9% or better reliability to airline operations.”
Oliveira adds his take on the Epic II’s advantages. “Commonality with the current fleet is clearly a relevant factor for this decision, reducing transition cost from the current fleet. It was the best suited for the E-Jets E2, allowing the flexibility for continuous innovation in flight deck features, while offering a mature system,” he concludes.

Pilz is unveiling the SafetyEYE vision-based safety concept, opening up new opportunities for automation in factories and elsewhere. The safe camera system for three-dimensional zone monitoring was developed by Pilz in conjunction with DaimlerChrysler. Where today's applications still require a multitude of sensors, SafetyEYE places a customised, three-dimensional protective cocoon around the danger zone. Detection zones can be configured flexibly and quickly on the PC. SafetyEYE can protect, control and monitor - all in just one system. Users in the safety sector benefit from increased flexibility and productivity, while the security sector benefits from uninterrupted object monitoring and access guarding.
SafetyEYE is much more than just a sensor; it is the basis for a technology that safely detects objects in a three-dimensional zone. Renate Pilz, Pilz's Managing Partner, comments: "So, once more, we can present an innovation that helps users to increase productivity and reduce costs."
The safe camera system is suitable for a wide range of industries: from machining centres to the tyre and packaging industry, through to high-bay racking systems and automatic car parks.
Limitations of current safety systems
Consider the example of a robot workstation comprising one or more robots and protected by safety fences. The robots generally require additional protective devices such as light grids and laser scanners in conjunction with an area limit switch. If someone enters or remains in the danger zone, these devices will detect it. However, current safety-related systems have some significant disadvantages. Optoelectronic protective devices are unable to monitor zones - at best, they monitor planes. If there is no visual contact then the workstation must also be protected using pressure-sensitive mats. So uninterrupted monitoring of a robot's operating range is only possible with a great deal of technical investment, if at all.
Another factor is that standard protective devices stop the robot immediately in the case of danger. The robot must be returned to its exact position prior to the stop in order to restart. This costs time and also impacts on subsequent workstations in the production line. And there is a third aspect too: the large number of different components and the complex wiring they involve not only makes it expensive to safeguard a robot workstation, but also has a negative impact on its availability.
Joint expertise
Pilz started to think about a new concept for zone monitoring and developed the idea of a safe camera system. In Sindelfingen, Germany, the process development, automation and control technology engineers at DaimlerChrysler was also considering some new monitoring strategies. Their idea was to use a combination of cameras to enable the monitored detection zone to be reproduced in three dimensions. It would then be possible to use image processing algorithms to detect objects that encroached into the danger zone. Visual assistance systems were used as the starting point; these were developed in the technical image processing laboratory at DaimlerChrysler's research centre in Ulm, to make car drivers aware of hazards. That was how the two project partners came together. While DaimlerChrysler contributed the appropriate algorithms for three-dimensional image evaluation, it was Pilz's task to make these algorithms suitable for industrial use and then develop and manufacture the system.
Control, monitor and protect
The overall system is made up of three components: the sensing device, a high-performance computer and a programmable safety and control system. The sensing device consists of three highly dynamic cameras and provides the image data from the zone that is being monitored.
A high-performance computer operates as the analysis unit, receiving the camera's image data via fibre-optic cables and working out a three-dimensional image using highly complex and safe algorithms. This way it is possible to observe objects three-dimensionally and to define their position exactly. This information is then superimposed with the detection zones configured within the system to determine whether there has been a detection zone violation, for example. The computer passes the image processing results to the PSS programmable safety and control system; with its inputs and outputs, the PSS is the interface to the machine controller and controls the whole SafetyEYE operation. If the analysis unit signals that the detection zone has been violated, the configurable outputs are shut down. Connection to the periphery can also be via the SafetyBUS p safe bus system; in future this will also be possible via the SafetyNET p Ethernet. The detection zones and warning zones, as well as all the other parameters required to operate the safe camera system, can be set up using the configuration PC and a special software package.
Preventing downtime
A robot workstation that is safeguarded using SafetyEYE, for example, will be fully open in its operation, and restrictive barriers are no longer necessary. The sensing device sits above the workstation and has a complete overview of the robot's operating range. So the possibility of manipulation is excluded from the outset. Just one glance at the monitor shows that safety technology is at work. Colour, semi-transparent cubes and cuboids - the three-dimensional warning and detection zones - are superimposed on to the images from the cameras. The robot moves within these zone segments during its work cycle. The danger zones are defined in the form of a virtual envelope, which incorporates the warning zones and detection zones. Only objects that enter these zones are potentially at risk.
A special feature of SafetyEYE is that a detection zone violation does not automatically lead to an emergency stop. Should a worker infringe the virtual detection zone at a point the robot would still take several seconds to reach, the control technology ensures that the robot advances at extremely reduced speed. If the worker is alerted through a warning signal and steps back, the robot will return to normal speed. There will only be an emergency stop if the worker enters the immediate danger zone. This is a clear advantage over conventional protective devices that trigger an immediate standstill in the case of danger. With SafetyEYE, processes can be precision controlled and can have flexible safeguards.
Configure of warning and protection zones
Detection zones and warning zones can be combined into complex zone arrangements and are therefore easy to manage, as they can be configured quickly and intuitively on the PC. If the various operating modes on a machine require different zone arrangements, these can be switched dynamically during the machine's working cycle, via the safe bus system SafetyBUS p or via the digital inputs on the PSS programmable safety and control system. Users have flexibility because, once detection zones have been defined, they can be readily adapted in the SafetyEYE Configurator. So the monitoring of detection zones are no longer based on technical needs but on the requirements of the user's process cycles, which can be designed with the utmost flexibility.
It only takes a few hours to install SafetyEYE and configure the detection zones. To position, set up and check conventional protective devices, on the other hand, takes at least a day. And it is also claimed to be more economical to use SafetyEYE. When a detection zone has been violated, an integrated diagnostic function reduces downtimes to a minimum.
Interaction between man and machine
The safe camera system is said to offer more compared to traditional sensor technology: you can protect, control and monitor with just one system. SafetyEYE can also perform standard (automation) control functions. And with SafetyEYE it is also possible to monitor several independent detection zones. Not only does that lower the cost, it also reduces the number of components to a minimum. The ability to connect directly to bus systems such as SafetyBUS p and, in future, SafetyNET p brings further savings in terms of material and installation.
SafetyEYE protects plants from a bird's eye view, enabling man and machine to work together in harmony. Requirements from the widest range of mechanical engineering applications can be implemented using the safe camera system.
While safety describes the protection of the environment from an object, security is concerned with protecting an object from the environment. This includes access protection on buildings or monitoring exhibits at museums, for example. SafetyEYE keeps valuable objects continuously in its sight because, unlike conventional protective devices, is does not just monitor one plane. Renate Pilz concludes: "Camera-based image processing will revolutionise optical sensor technology, and not only in the industrial sector. We are convinced that the SafetyEYE innovation faces an excellent future in the security sector too."

DAP proposes a two-day special Parliament meeting on Jan 26 and 27 on the revised 2015 Budget instead of Najib unilaterally announcing restructuring of the 2015 Budget in utter contempt not only of Parliament but also of Cabinet
The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, seemed bent on announcing his restructured 2015 Budget tomorrow.
This will mean that the revised 2015 Budget is made not only without parliamentary sanction or approval, but also without Cabinet approval or sanction.
This is because the Cabinet would only meet the day after on Wednesday, January 21 2015.
This is most irregular and improper, revising the 2015 Budget after the Dewan Rakyat had approved the original budget on Nov. 25 after more than a month of debate, both on general policy as well as during the detailed committee stage, by MPs from both the Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat in the Dewan Rakya
This could only mean that what the MPs from both BN and PR had said on the 2015 Budget, both during the policy and committee stage debate, were an utter waste of time, resources and effort as far as the Finance Minister was concerned!
Now Najib proposes to announce his revised 2015 budget tomorrow, when clearly it has not been cleared or approved by the Cabinet.
What all this means is that the Prime Minister had developed a most deplorable and regrettable disregard and even contempt not only for the views of BN MPs, but also BN Ministers as well!.
Just as the Federal Government had relied on series of pre-budget dialogues before the formulation of each year’s budget, there should also be a series of pre-Budge Revision dialogues to hear the views of the public as to how the government should react to the latest economic crisis.
Who is Najib relying on to review and restructure the 2015 Budget – his highly-paid army of international consultants and advisers who have already landed Malaysia in much grief because of the inappropriate and even ill-advised policies.
For over three months, Najib had simply ignored calls, including from DAP, to revise the 2015 Budget because of fast-changing international economic developments, especially the sharp fall in the prices of crude oil as well as other commodities.
Najib’s father, Tun Razak made a name for himself with his “red book” approach, making visits all over the country to uplift rural development.
But Najib’s most characteristic quality after more than five years as Prime Minister is to be hands-off rather than hands-on like his father, establishing general indifference as the hallmark of Tun Razak’s premiership!
DAP proposes a two-day special Parliament meeting on Jan 26 and 27 on the revised 2015 Budget instead of Najib unilaterally announcing restructuring of the 2015 Budget in utter contempt not only of Parliament but also of Cabinet.
From tomorrow onwards, the Federal Cabinet can conduct pre-budget revision dialogues to hear the people’s views and proposals on how best the country respond to the economic crisis.

Manipulating Folding, Assembly and Disassembly of Protein Complexes
from Molecule to Disease
Marie Curie ITN – Innovative Doctoral Programme - 2012-2016
Manipulating folding, assembly and disassembly of protein complexes - "ManiFold"
ManiFold is an Innovative Doctoral Programme organised by members of the Bijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research and its Graduate Research School, at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. The European Union selected the most innovative doctoral programmes in Europe for funding in the prestigious Marie-Curie Initial Training Networks scheme. ManiFold was the only Innovative Doctoral Programme in the Life Sciences funded in 2012. The project started autumn 2012 in Utrecht. EU funding ended end of 2016.
11 Exciting PhD research projects
ManiFold offers innovative interdisciplinary training in structural biology, biochemistry, biophysics and cell biology for a selected group of 11 PhD students. ManiFold combines the PhD training programme of the Bijvoet Center with internships in industry and abroad. The PhD students have the chance to work with one of the 7 ManiFold group leaders, all of whom have a strong publication track record in high impact journals. Please check the section "Publications" for the ManiFold output so far.
High impact research topics
ManiFold research projects focus on one of the central topics in life sciences: Interactions between molecules lead to structures of increasing complexity and ultimately to living organisms and their dynamic relations. Deep understanding of these interactions is one of the most fundamental challenges in the Life Sciences. For scientific highlights of ManiFold please check the "Highlights" section.
How do large protein complexes assemble, and how do they determine our fate? – exemplified by the Interaction of the cobra venome factor (yellow) with its human target factor B (red).
Failures in folding and assembly processes lead to lethal diseases
Most fundamental processes in the cell find their basis in protein folding and misfolding events, which in turn are linked to diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, and cancer. Protein folding and assembly are assisted by molecular chaperones and involve cycles of folding/unfolding and assembly/disassembly. The Manifold fellows will work on significant contributions to those fundamental questions.
How do proteins fold and unfold, assemble and disassemble? How do molecular chaperones guide these processes? How can we interfere with those processes to cure diseases caused by damaged protein interactions?
Support by the EU, Marie-Curie Actions, Utrecht University and the Bijvoet Center
ManiFold was funded by the 7th Framework Programme of the EU and Marie Curie actions with €2.6 Mio for the period 2012-2016. ManiFold is supported by the Faculty of Science, the Department of Chemistry and the Bijvoet Graduate Research School of Utrecht University. The Doctoral Programme is coordinated by Stefan Rüdiger of Cellular Protein Chemistry in the Bijvoet Center. All 11 PhD students were placed in the groups of Rolf Boelens and Hugo van Ingen, Ineke Braakman, Piet Gros, Albert Heck, Bert Janssen, Antoinette Killian and Stefan Rüdiger.

You didn’t have the coal for your fire, nearly everyone had a coal fire and you had nothing to put on it so you ended up burning anything which was made of wood. If you had wood fence you took it down and you burnt it .We made a block from newspapers and paper and soaked it in paraffin and burned them on the fire . Brenda MacDonald .
Juliana Heron
I’ll never forget the day they went back .We went up to the pit with the men; we kept the kids off school. We started the strike as a family and we ended the strike as a family and everybody did the same. There was men women and children and we marched through Hetton with the banners and the band and everything. It was a slow walk up to the pit everyone was out clapping their hands, the place came to a standstill just came to a standstill. People who had supported us during the strike, shop keepers came out even one of the head teachers brought his children up from the school to see the men going back to work. It wasn’t singing and dancing, it was very sombre but then the men seen the support they had and that stirred them on. Juliana Heron.
Florence Anderson
On behalf of the women I would like to pay at tribute to our menfolk .To the miners of this country who have stood up and been counted in the fight not just to defend their jobs, their communities and their unions but they have stood up and defended the dignity of the working class .Can I say publicly that I salute the pickets, I salute the men and women who have demonstrated in the time honoured tradition of the British Trade Union movement and said to the scabs “You shall not pass unhindered”
And you hear the Tory’s scream about the Mass picket lines and in the same breath talk about all these miners sitting at home waiting to go back to work. Well you can’t have it both ways, because I think the truth of the matter is that the sight of the working class standing together frightens the hell out of them. Florence Anderson.
Heather Wood
I remember saying to our local vicar .I hate Margret Thatcher you know and a shouldn’t am a Christian. He said “Special dispensation Heather, special dispensation “.Heather Wood.
Pat Melvin
I use to go down to the picket line every day and stand and shout as hard as I could. When I came back into me street they were all just me neighbors and nothing changed but when I was on thatPicket line (Laugh) I use to throw stones as well.When we went to picket Philly Yard out loads of women went down .I took Graham up in his buggy .The police were there with their dogs calling us scum. I turned around and said I’m not afraid of you and am not afraid of your dogs ,Id rather eat grass than give into your lot . Pat Melvin .
Irene Tonkinson
I was brought up in the Southwick area; me dad worked in the shipyards until he had an accident and he ended up being unable to work. So we were brought up on benefits. Because we couldn’t get a pit house when we first got married we moved in with me in-laws .It was a very close-knit community and, a think we’ve lost that, it doesn’t exist now. Irene Tonkinson.

Our steps falter as we reach the cage,
The last shift, the end of an era .No more descending into the dark with your marras at your side. Man and boy toiling, helmet light shining, picks attacking rock finding the black gold inside.
Bait box closes forever more into the canvas satchel it goes as does the flask standing on the floor. Memories, evocative of this mine employ generation after generation .Our hands no longer working are still, what will we do now. Idle days, heavy hearts chocking back our sorrows. No longer going down the hole they shut our existence. Our livelihood! No more digging for coal .All our yesterdays, no tomorrows.
Christine Hogg.
Cobbled webs of my thoughts
hang around your lanes.
A brass band nestles in my head,
cosy as a bed bug.
I’m reading from a balcony
poems of Revolution.
It’s Gala Day and the words are lost
in the coal dust of your lungs.
Your dark satanic brooding Gaol
throws a blanket over blankness:
a grim era of second hand visions
aches like a scab in a cell.
And rowing a punt up your Bishop’s arse
a shaft of sunlight on the river
strikes me only as true,
shining into the eyes of all the prisoners
swinging from Cathedral bells.
Old Durham Town, you imprison me
like a scream in a Salvation Army song,
release me soon: someone
get ready to hug me.

Heritage Lottery Funding.
Sticky Post By John McMahon On November 11, 2013
Today, One For All Productions has received £37,083 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for an exciting oral history project: Holes in Tights. The project focuses on the role of women in the 1984 miners’ strike and its impact on their lives.
The project will involve recording the stories and anecdotes of the women involved in the strike. These recordings will be accessible to the public through archives in local museums and libraries and used to form the basis of a theatre production which will be performed within the region. One For All Productions will be drawing volunteers from the local communities some of who will be trained in oral history interviewing techniques and camera / recording operations.
One For All Productions Ltd is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to work with marginalised groups, exposing them to the arts whilst developing arts and communication skills. Volunteers will work with heritage and arts professionals to research and deliver the projects aims and objectives developing skills that can be used in future careers or in a community context.
One For All spokesman John McMahon said: “We are thrilled to have received the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund. In 2014 it will be 30 years since the 1984 Miners Strike We believe the story’s and anecdotes of women activists involved needs to be preserved so that future generations can take pride in their local heritage and recognise the contribution strong women played within the mining community.”
Head of Heritage Lottery Fund North East, Ivor Crowther said: “This is an excellent project of great historic and cultural interest in the North East. The project tells the amazing stories of the women supporting the men during what became a symbolic struggle for the men of the community. Sharing these stories will cement their part in what was to become defining moment in British Industry.
About One For All Productions
One For All Productions is a not for profit Community Arts (Filmmaking/Drama) Production Company based in the North-East of England.

Hogan & Moss
Jon Hogan and Maria Moss play scorch folk: Carter Family and Appalachian trad, blues, gospel and Gypsy swing, mixed with tilted arrangements of songs by Tom Waits, Amy Winehouse, Prince, James McMurtry, Townes Van Zandt and the Butthole Surfers. Part soul croon, part folk-punk, part 1930s valentine, it snaps with mad harmonies, fast, ferocious Mother Maybelle-style picking, upright bass and an archtop-guitar rhythm chop that’s like a driving wheel. It’s uplifting and dark, modal, modern, and haunting.
“Authentic music….the song as timeless narrative device.”
“…mixes Hogan’s originals with vintage tunes like “Mill Room Blues” and “Coo Coo” about as seamlessly as even Gillian Welch & David Rawlings could.” Houston Press
“Exhilarating, heartbreaking, wild, epic, microcosmic, toe-tapping, head-nodding, gut busting, soul searching…They made us live an extra year of our lives in a couple of hours.” Navasota Current
”….strumming maniacs, possessed by old-time music. It’s as though if you touched them they might electrocute you.” Missoula Independent
Hogan & Moss played 240 shows in 2016, touring a dozen states and in Ireland, Belgium, and the Netherlands. They’ve been main-stage performers at the Zihuatanejo International Guitar Festival, Official Showcase Artists at the Folk Alliance International conference, and were featured in the 2015 Houston Cinema Arts festival. They were awarded the mayoral Key to the City of El Paso for preservation of American heritage music, and do an annual residency at Schreiner University for the Texas Heritage Music Foundation. Jon Hogan has a series of posthumous co-writes with the late cult songwriter Blaze Foley (who’s been covered by Willie Nelson, Merle haggard, John Prine and Lyle Lovett), commissioned by Foley’s family from lyrics found after his death.
They just released a CD of originals songs, “In Dreams I Go Back Home.”
“A record with boundless energy, with fire, with spirit, with truthfulness. It’s this lost American truth, in an age where there is almost no authenticity.” Jonathan Byrd, producer, who’s among the Chicago Tribune’s “Top 50 Songwriters of the Past 50 Years.”

Why DPR Approves Unregulated Tank Farms In Lagos

Downstream Tank Farm
· DPR lifts ban on bunkering license issuance
By Kenneth Jukpor
Top Nigerian politicians are guilty of influencing the haphazard establishment of tank farms in Apapa, Ajegunle and Ijegun-Satellite town, a situation which has endangered millions of lives and valuable properties in the state, whilst disrupting port operations as over 10,000 tankers ply the Lagos port access roads on a daily basis.
A top managerial source at the Department of Petroleum Resource (DPR) revealed this toMMS Plus on the sidelines, during the 12th edition of the Oil Trading & Logistics (OTL) Africa Downstream Week in Lagos, last week.
The DPR source lamented that the efforts of the agency to spurn tank farm projects which didn’t meet the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) were overruled by the influence of the owners of the tank farms who were either top politicians or their cronies.
While the unpleasant situation has seen over 60 tank farms situated along the Apapa Road, over 30 tank farms have also been sited at Ijegun-Satellite town, a community predominantly inhabited by local residents.
According to him, DPR has admitted its inefficiency in procedures for licensing tank farm facilities in Lagos State, and the agency was exploring solutions to the problem
“I will admit that over time we have seen situations where facilities tend to come up within a particular cluster and DPR is looking at its rules with a view to tightening them a bit to make sure this doesn’t continue to happen” he said.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government has baulked on any proposal for the relocation of the tank farms as experts posit that the cost of relocating a tank farm is almost the sum needed to build a new one.
Recall that the Lagos State Government recently suspended approvals for development of tank farms in Apapa as part of efforts to restore sanity and prepare for immediate and long term solutions to the Oshodi-Apapa corridor.
The State Government came up with this policy after a closed door meeting with stakeholders in the maritime and transport sectors, including Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), Nigerian Shippers’ Council, Tank Farm Owners, DPR, Security Agencies and Freight Forwarding Agents, chaired by State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode.
DPR has also failed to ensure that tank farm owners comply with holding bay requirements, as most of the tank farms don’t have holding bays, let alone the requisite one which should contain a minimum of 200 tankers.
An Environmental management expert at DPR, recently told our correspondent that the ideal practice in the establishment of tank farms is to have them located in areas that weren’t occupied by residents but he lamented that the business opportunities of these facilities attracted residents to the locations.
“Today we are faced with a dilemma with the decision to relocate the tank farms or the host communities. You can’t just move people from their residents and relocating these tank farm projects is also a challenge” he said.
The source who is also a specialist in Process Safety and Risk Assessments, noted DPR ensures that adequate firewalls and firebricks are used in tank farms operating the country to curb the effects of possible fire disasters.
In another development, DPR has lifted the ban on ship bunkering, issuing five licenses to indigenous operators for the services.
While the development affords Nigerian investors and downstream operators opportunities to generate income from the annual ship traffic to Nigeria which has stood at an average of 4300 vessels in the last five years, there is also an international conspiracy limiting major carriers from bunkering in Nigeria.
As a result of the problem of illegal bunkering, major shipping lines like Grimaldi, Maersk Line, among others never take bunker from Nigerian sources because the global insurance institution classifies Nigerian bunkering services as ‘high risk’.
Speaking to MMS Plus during an exclusive chat, the Chief Executive Officer of Sopetro Marine Limited and Downstream Coordinator of the Ship Owners Association (SOAN), Mr. Mina Oforiokuma lamented that international vessels would rather stop offshore Abidjan, Luanda or other places to bunker because they could lose their insurance for bunkering in Nigeria.
“Lagos is the only major port where international vessels don’t officially bunker their vessels. The major ports in Africa like Durban, Cape Town, Luanda, Abidjan, Dakar, etc., have bunker services but Lagos doesn’t have. What this means is that if a large vessel comes to Lagos from Europe for instance and it needs fuel because its next journey is to Luanda in Angola, that vessel cannot officially bunker in Lagos because we don’t have such services”, he said.
Within the West African coast few major international bunker traders such as Monjasa bunkering and Dan bunkering, both of Denmark hold sway; while SK Shipping from Korea is the major global bunkering company that supplies all Chinese shipping fleet in the region.
Explaining further, Mina said: “A Maersk Line ship wouldn’t go along a rickety Nigerian ship to take bunker no matter how cheap because they put the safety of their vessels in danger as those barges aren’t in class or insured. Any international ship take risks taking bunker from such sources could lose its insurance and if anything incident occurs the company faces the consequence”
· NNPC re-enters crude affreightment
Seven years after falling out of reckoning in the global oil freighting trade, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), on Tuesday, announced the re-entry of its subsidiary, NIDAS Shipping Services, into the international shipment of crude oil and petroleum products.
This development would see NIDAS enjoy and optimize right of first refusal offer in the NNPC annual crude oil term and Direct-Sale-Direct Purchase (DSDP) agreements with off-takers.
Oil and gas operators have highlighted the success of other nations like Brazil and Malaysia were the shipping arm of their respective oil corporations, Petrobras and Petromas had hundreds of oil vessels, as they lampooned NNPC for its inability to manage a transport arm for the purpose of carrying the nation’s oil.
Under the terms of the deal, the off-takers are obligated to offer the NNPC shipping subsidiary the right of first refusal in freighting of cargoes.
NIDAS’s re-entry, according to NNPC Spokesman, Ndu Ughamadu, was in tandem with the ongoing strategic re-engineering of some NNPC subsidiaries to ensure multiple income streams and value addition to the national oil company, in line with the aspiration of its Group Managing Director, Dr. Maikanti Baru.
According to Ughamadu, NIDAS, as a first step to regaining its market position, has established a robust chartering and operation desk in its UK office to help the company secure sea-going vessels from spot market to buoy its operations and give it strong competitive edge.
Ughamadu said the company’s presence was already generating some positive traction in the international freight space as global tanker fixture’s report last week acknowledged the chartering of LRI tanker, MV Atlantica Bridge by NIDAS to load jet fuel from El Dekheila Port, Egypt for delivery to Nigeria for Duke Oil.
“The fixture report also captured NIDAS booking of tanker Res Cogitans to load Mercuria’s gasoline cargo for early-November loading from Europe’s ARA (Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp) region to Offshore Lagos.
“The long-term aspiration of the company is to own and operate fleet to secure a significant market share in the global shipping market”, he explained.
Ughamadu added that the development was part of the GMD’s 12 Business Focus Areas (12BUFA) which he unfolded when he took over the leadership of the corporation in 2016.
Incorporated in 2007 as a Joint Venture between NNPC, Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Company Limited (DSME), NIDAS is presently a wholly owned subsidiary of the corporation.
Subsequently, a Board of Directors was inaugurated by the GMD with Engr. Henry Ikem Obih, Chief Operating Officer Downstream, as chairman, while Mr. Lawal Sade was appointed Managing Director with mandate to drive the turn-around process and effective re-entry strategy of NIDAS into the international oil shipping business

Brunei project cut by UK government health agency over LGBTI death penalty
on: April 08, 2019 Tags: Miami Gay Info, Miami Gay Information, Miami Gay News, Miami LGBTQ Info, Miami LGBTQ News
The UK government‘s official health and safety organization has announced it will stop planned staff secondments to Brunei following its anti-LGBTI laws.
Unions raised red flags over the ethical and safety implications of these temporary transfers after the kingdom quietly introduced its plans to impose the death penalty on queer men.
The Guardian reported today (8 April) that the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have ‘paused’ all links to the country, review pending.
The HSE planned to sent a team of three to Brunei to help with an equivalent agency’s admin work.
Internal emails and notices seen by the Guardian showed the organization was roping together the team as late as 4 April; just a day after the tiny southeast Asian sultanate announced it would impose an interpretation of the Shariah penal code.
Brunei itself – a tiny, oil-rich patch of the island of Borneo – has only 430,000 people living there.
Yet, this in no way stopped the immense and continuing condemnation of their absolute ruler, the Sultan of Brunei.
However, the HSE were actively putting together the team to help on a short-term project with Safety, Health, and Environment National Authority in Brunei, called Shena.
The project would ‘help strengthen [the] health and safety regulatory function’ of the Brunei agency, one email said.
An HSE spokeswoman told the Guardian: ‘HSE is an inclusive organisation and strongly supports LGBT+ rights.
‘Any commercial discussions will now be paused while we review the situation.’
Adding their voice
HSE are the latest in a long line of companies and people to boycott Brunei in the wake of their laws.
Travel agency STA Travel and Virgin Australia severed ties with the country’s national air carrier, Royal Brunei Airlines.
Similarly, London train network TfL did the same after ads for the airline were spotted by commuters.
Moreover, high-profile celebrities – from George Clooney to Dua Lipa – have spoken bluntly of their decisions to boycott all Brunei-owned hotel businesses.
While the UN denounced the laws as ‘inhuman’ and ‘draconian.’
Background of Brunei
Rulers of Brunei have long enforced strictly traditional interpretations of Islamic teachings. The country, in Southeast Asia, operates under an absolute monarchy.
In other words, the head of state, the Sultan of Brunei, is also head of government. Royalty and lawmaking are one the same.
For example, under the current 51-year-long monarch Hassanal Bolkiah, the country banned alcohol and forbade the proliferation of non-Islamic faiths.
Sharia Penal Code: In three stages
Back in 2014, Bolkiah announced the Brunei governmental bloc would implement the Sharia Penal Code in three stages.
The first stage of legal reforms was no struggle to lawmakers, but its second and third stages experienced holdups.
However, the Bruneian Attorney General’s Chambers website officially posted plans to fast-track implementation of the SPC on 29 December 2018.

Floridians brave the heat to celebrate Cape Coral’s first LGBTI Pride
Hundreds of Floridians braved the mid-day heat to show their support for the LGBTI community this weekend, as Cape Coral’s first ever LGBTI Pride parade took place on Saturday (5 April).
The 86-degree heat didn’t deter the crowds, with hundreds of people lining the streets to wave on the elaborately decorated floats ferrying drag queens, drag kings, and representatives of local companies.
Locals flanked the street parade in equally bright colors, donning rainbow flags, tutus, and feature boas, the News-Press reports.
The festival also hosted live music played, a beer tent, food trucks and a number of vendor booths.
Officiating the event was Grand Marshal Sonique, a drag queen who appeared on season 2 of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

‘We’re all the same’
Locals attending the Pride event spoke of how LGBTI inclusivity had increased in the town over the years.
Mike Greenwell, a 48-year-old Cape Coral resident, said that maintaining the visibility was important to building inclusivity in the neighborhood.
‘We’re all the same,’ Greenwell said. ‘It’s good to see everybody out here supporting each other.’

Fellow Cape Coral resident and event volunteer, Chris Kaelin, said there were more attendees than he expected.
‘I thought with as fast as they put this together, it could flop,’ Kaelin said. ‘It doesn’t look like it’s going to.’
Kaelin said he hoped the Pride event would help bring the Cape Coral’s LGBTI residents together.
‘There are so many gay people in Cape Coral, but most of them are coupled, and they don’t go out,’ the 55-year-old said. ‘They don’t know each other.’
Other locals echoed the need to keep the positive momentum of LGBTI visibility.
Sunstate Fort Myers will be at PRIDE Cape Coral this Saturday April 6th! From 4 to 8:30 p.m. stop by and say hi to Admissions and students & get your face painted! Located on SE 47th Terrace in Cape Coral. See you there #PRIDECapeCoral #SunstateFortMyers pic.twitter.com/cVRuRPf2J1

Weekend-long event
The city’s first Pride event comes two years after Cape Coral passed discrimination protections for the city’s LGBT employees.
Jennifer Nelson and Jessica Cosden, the two Council Members who were fundamental in pushing through the city’s LGBT protections measure, also rode on the street parade.
Celebrations will last until Sunday, where two outdoor brunch events will be held on SE 10th Place and SE 47th Terrace from 10:30 to 1pm, with tickets priced at $25 each.
Orlando seeks to become the first city with a network of certified LGBTI businesses
The city of Orlando, Florida is hoping to become the first Floridian city with a network of certified LGBTI businesses. This way, LGBTI-owned businesses would be better represented for the city’s contracting and training opportunities.
Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and City Commissioner Patty Sheehan introduced the resolution on Tuesday, 2 April. The proposal is set to be voted on before the City Council on Monday, 8 April.
According to Orlando Weekly, ‘The resolution would allow city officials to develop a base and registry of LGBTQ-owned businesses recognized by the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce’s certification process. It will also provide a means for the city to monitor and track usage of LGBTQ-owned and certified businesses in the procurement of goods and services with the city, as well as develop training programs and services to ensure the businesses are informed about future opportunities.’
Basically, it’s the first step in a plan that would allow LGBTI-owned businesses to thrive.
‘Small businesses and entrepreneurs are the backbone of our local economy. And the reason why we have such a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem and business-friendly environment,’ Mayor Dyer said in a statement. ‘We must work together to continue to foster an environment that advances opportunities for all.’
Dyer added that the resolution ‘ensures that LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs in Orlando will have the opportunity to create jobs and develop innovations that benefit all who live in the most inclusive city in America.’
Sheehan, who represents the city’s 4th District, concurs.
‘One of the misconceptions about including LGBTQ+ owned businesses, or those of any other diverse community, is that someone else’s opportunity decreases as a result,’ Sheehan stated. ‘That simply isn’t so. No one loses when everyone is given a fair shot to win.’

Men in jockstraps react to Scruff’s ban on men in jockstraps
on: January 29, 2019 Tags: Miami Gay Info, Miami Gay Information, Miami Gay News, Miami LGBTQ Info, Miami LGBTQ News
Gay hookup app Scruff recently announced that it had changed its rules regarding profile pics.
Following concerns an app store might drop Scruff (the commercial kiss of death!), it stated guys couldn’t post profile images sporting just a jockstrap or bikini-style brief. Such images could still feature in private albums for swapping with other users.
Photo courtesy @firebreatherbear on Instagram
Scruff CEO Eric Silverberg said, ‘Our change is meant to align our content standards with the evolving content standards of our app store distributors.’
The move comes following Tumblr’s high-profile crackdown on adult content. Facebook and Instagram have also announced that it is working harder to ban any sexual content or nudity, including buttocks and females nipples. Together, it represents a shift in the way social media companies and apps censor users’ content.
The Scruff decision raised eyebrows, however. Unlike Tumblr or Instagram, it is specifically aimed at an 18+ audience.

Athletic and uplifting
Are jockstraps – originally designed to provide athletic support – that obscene? Clearly, if someone’s bending over and parting their butt cheeks, we could understand the concern a little better. But, as these images of guys in jocks demonstrate, what’s wrong with just showing a little flesh on a site designed to put you in touch with other guys for dating or sex?
Some of the men we contacted got back to us with their own thoughts.
Jockstraps ‘lift everything in the right places,’ says Jamil (Photo: @maoribeef on Instagram)
‘Jockstraps are comfortable and make me feel sexy, they fit amazing and lift everything in the right places,’ says @maoribeef (above).
‘I recently uploaded this photo to Scruff (see below). However it was rejected and moved to my private folder as it was considered nudity.
Photo: @maoribeef on Instagram
‘I understand the big crackdown on nudity lately and being more strict. However, I personally don’t find it an issue wearing/showing off one’s body sexually, and don’t understand why all these changes are happening especially considering Scruff is a sexual/adult app for meeting people for sex? I mean, not everyone, but you know…’

‘I can understand why Scruff changed its guidelines’
‘It’s an interesting topic which I’ve been discussing with people lately,’ says red-haired actor and dancer Gerard (@gwsgingerface).
‘In my experience of Scruff, like with Grindr, it’s less of a dating app. The majority of people are “open” couples or people just looking to hook-up.
Gerard wears a jockstrap by @justdoitbabes (Photo: @gwsgingerface on Instagram)
‘As a single man, I find people on Tinder to be more open to going on dates rather than hooking up and even though I know the positive side of a polyamorous relationship, having less people into polyamory on there actually gives us a chance to find a boyfriend. Instead of falling for someone already taken.
‘The photos on Tinder are still flirty and show someone’s personality but more often say “I’m looking for a boyfriend”, which I prefer.
‘So, I can understand why Scruff changed its guidelines and hopefully they can have more of a Tinder vibe. I’ve met [co-founder] Johnny Scruff before, he seems like a great guy so I wish him all the best with it.’

Impact on sex workers and models
Underwear model, go-go dancer and personal trainer Jesse Diamond has a different take.

‘When apps like Scruff ban photos of guys in jockstraps and Tumblr bans NSFW content, it directly affects sex workers and can have a negative impact on their life.
‘These are the types of platforms that camera models and adult film industry workers will use to promote themselves and network with other artists. When sex workers are censored in these ways, it will have a direct affect on their income.
‘This ban will do a lot more harm than good in my opinion.’

This image declined by Scruff as a profile photo
Dave Tyson says he tried to use this as his Scruff profile image but it was declined (Photo: @dtysmotivation on Instagram
‘I just re-downloaed Scruff and I think it’s silly what they’re doing,’ says personal trainer Dave Tyson (@dtysmotivation). ‘I used this photo and they removed it.
‘That’s going to steer more people away from the app. I doubt I’ll keep it downloaded. Yes some people are overly sexual with their pics but thats not the case here! I think the pic is sexy, not sexual!’
(Photo: @brianmichael4385 on Instagram)
Another personal trainer is also critical of the Scruff ban and other recent moves to reduce adult content online.
US-based Brian Michael (above) told Gay Star News: ‘I can google search our First Lady and find her artistic nudes. Rather than read her for it, I applaud her bravery and freedom to express herself.
‘The human body, male or female of any shape or size is poetry in motion. Jockstraps? I own plenty, some are functional for sports and others just make me feel sexy.
‘Actually all my underwear makes me feel sexy. It’s why I buy it. Which is my final point. Everyone deserves to feel sexy in the skin they’re in and express that with or without clothing.’

WATCH: Grace and Frankie break into RuPaul’s home in new season trailer
Grace and Frankie, the Netflix show starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, has released the trailer for their upcoming 5th season. In it, we see the first glimpse of this season’s very special guest star, RuPaul.
The official trailer was released on 8 January and currently has over 200,000 views.
On season 5 of Grace and Frankie, RuPaul plays Benjamin Le Day, a ‘formidable and quick-witted adversary.’ He is first introduced when Grace (Jane Fonda) and Frankie (Lily Tomlin) break into his house.
‘Someone’s coming,’ Grace whispers to Frankie upon realizing someone is home after the break-in. The two women duck behind the kitchen counter.
‘It seems you’re breaking and entering,’ Benjamin says to them.
‘Hey girl,’ Grace responds, flustered, and holding a toaster.
‘Who the fuck are you?’ Benjamin calmly asks.
‘Who the fuck are you?’ Frankie replies, louder.
News of RuPaul’s role on Grace and Frankie broke last year, following a Twitter thread between RuPaul and Jane Fonda which hinted at a cameo appearance.
Fan reactions
Fans of the show took to Twitter to express excitement at RuPaul’s guest role.
Oooo I’m excited for Grace and Frankie. RuPaul is gonna be in it. I also hope Lisa Kudrow is back.

8 films in 2019 to get excited about
on: December 27, 2018 Tags: Miami Gay Info, Miami Gay Information, Miami Gay News, Miami LGBTQ Info, Miami LGBTQ News
2018 was a great year for LGBTI audiences at the movies.
From Love, Simon to Colette, there was an abundance of diversity and representation on the big screen. Some of those films, like Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Favourite, is also posing as a strong contender for awards season.
Hoping to keep that momentum going, here are eight films you should be excited about in 2019.
Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel may only be queer in Marvel fans’ hearts, but that isn’t stopping everyone from declaring themselves gay for Brie Larson in the upcoming superhero flick.
Captain Marvel is Marvel Studios’ first solo female superhero film and it’s been a long time coming.
Fans’ first hint at her character, a hybrid human-alien hero, was in the post-credits scene of Avengers: Infinity War. Following her own solo film, Larson will appear as Captain Marvel in April’s Avengers: Endgame.
Captain Marvel comes out 8 March.
Bohemian Rhapsody became the highest grossing music biopic of all time this year. Will next year’s biopic about the legendary Elton John try to attempt to break that record once more?
Taron Egerton stars as the openly gay singer in the upcoming film. John released his debut album, Empty Sky, in 1969 and this movie recounts his rise to fame.
Egerton also recently detailed a sex scene he shares with former Game of Thrones actor Richard Madden in the film.
Rocketman comes out 31 May.
Queer actor Tessa Thompson. In a suit. Flirting with Emma Thompson. Need I say more?
That’s all anyone could talk about when the first trailer for the new Men in Black spinoff premiered.
The film takes the premise of the original movies starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones and launches it into the global arena. Top-secret organization MIB, meant to monitor alien activity on Earth, goes to London in this new film.
Thompson stars as a new agent teaming up with a veteran agent played by her Thor: Ragnarok co-star Chris Hemsworth.
Men in Black: International comes out 14 June.
Untitled Richard Curtis and Kate McKinnon film
Not much is known about this as-yet unnamed movie, but it’s a comedy-musical written by Richard Curtis and starring Kate McKinnon. Therefore, it’s at the very top of my list.
Danny Boyle directs and other stars include Lily James (who wowed us this summer in the musical sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again), Himseh Patel, and Ed Sheeran.
In March, Boyle and Curtis revealed the movie is set in the 1960s/70s about a struggling musician ‘who thinks he’s the only person who can remember the Beatles’.
This movie comes out 28 June.
Beyoncé as lioness Nala singing Elton John songs in a photorealistic live-action remake of one of Disney’s most beloved animated films.
John returned to the film to help rework his songs for this new project. Beyoncé also signed on to rework the music with John, as well as perform in the film.
In February, John reported that he, Beyoncé, and Tim Rice were creating a new song for the end credits.
Here’s hoping Beyoncé gets an epic solo song as Nala in the movie — perhaps Shadowland from the Broadway musical?
Comedian Billy Eichner is also in the film as Timon.
The Lion King comes out 19 July.
Charlie’s Angels
When Kristen Stewart was announced to be one of the new Angels in Elizabeth Banks’ upcoming Charlie’s Angels reboot, excitement shot through the roof.
She’ll star alongside Naomi Scott, known for her work in the recent Power Rangers movie and Disney’s upcoming live-action Aladdin, as well as newcomer Ella Balinska.
But what we all really want is for Stewart’s Angel to be queer, obviously.
Charlie’s Angels comes out 1 November.
Please, please, please let Elsa get a girlfriend in the highly anticipated Disney sequel.
After numerous missteps with LGBTI representation, Disney could really use this as a chance to win back some disenchanted fans. Plus, we all know Let It Go is totally a coming out anthem.
Frozen 2 comes out 22 November.
When it comes to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Cats, you either love it or hate it.
That debate will come to a head in the new Tom Hooper-direction adaptation of it for the big screen. The musical depicts a single night of a tribe of cats who perform the Jellicle choice. They must decide which cat will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life.
The all-star cast includes Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, James Corden, Ian McKellan, Idris Elba, Judy Dench, Rebel Wilson, and more.
Cats comes out 20 December.
And keep an eye out for indie films, as they tend to have good representation but without the needed publicity to make waves.
Queer Eye’s Antoni to open a restaurant in New York
on: June 23, 2018 Tags: Miami Gay Info, Miami Gay Information, Miami Gay News, Miami LGBTQ Info, Miami LGBTQ News
Netflix’s Queer Eye reboot is immensely popular, especially with season two’s recent premiere. Now, the show’s foodie heartthrob Antoni Porowski has announced plans to open his own New York restaurant.
During a panel discussion at the 92 Street Y, Porowski spoke about this upcoming endeavor.
‘I’m all about, like, cheese and pork belly and decadence, and as a result of the increased vanity of being on camera all the time and working out and eating healthy, I’m developing a fast-casual food concept restaurant that I’m gonna be opening here in New York,’ Porowski said, according to Out.com.
As Porowski officially isn’t able to talk about the project yet, not many details are known. Still, it is clear that he’s excited for it.
Fans love Antoni
Considering how fans on Twitter react to Porowski’s role on Queer Eye, one can only assume the restaurant will be a hit.

Andrew Garfield dedicates Tony Award to LGBTIQ community
Andrew Garfield has used his Tony Awards acceptance speech to honor LGBTI activists who fought for community’s equal rights.
Garfield won the Tony for best lead actor in a play for his role as Prior Walter in the iconic gay play, Angels in America.
The actor who has long advocated for the LGBTI community called out bigotry against the community in his acceptance speech.
‘At a moment in time where maybe the most important thing that we remember right now is the sanctity of the human spirit, it is the profound privilege of my life to play Prior Walter in Angels in America because he represents the purest spirit of humanity,’ Garfield said.
‘And especially that of the LGBTQ community. It is a spirit that says no to oppression. It is a spirit that says no to bigotry, no to shame, no to exclusion. It is a spirit that says we are all made perfectly. That we all belong.
‘So, I dedicate this award to the countless LGBTQ people who have fought and died to protect that spirit, to protect that message: For the right to live and love as we are created to.’
Let them bake cakes!
Garfield wrapped up his moving speech with a quip throwing shade at a recent Supreme Court decision to rule in favor of a baker who refused to bake a cake for a gay couple’s wedding
‘We are all sacred and we all belong, so let’s just bake a cake for everyone who wants a cake to be baked,’ Garfield said.

Anger as hundreds of ticket-holders turned away from LA Pride
LA Pride turned away hundreds of ticket-holders after overselling an event last night (9 June).
As part of a special LA Pride Festival concert in West Hollywood, many people showed up and then got turned away.
According to eye witness reports, organizers were turning people away from as early as 8:30pm. This is despite having a prepaid ticket to the event or not.
Pride-goers even noticed a helicopter hovering above, telling people not to bother trying to get in and to go home.
One Twitter user wrote: ‘Y’all made a huge mess here. Way over capacity, easily the worst, most uncomfortable, dangerous Pride I’ve ever been to. There’s a literal helicopter flying around telling people to go home at 9:45pm!’
‘You guys created an extremely dangerous environment’
As a result, a lot of people became angry and riot police became involved.
One Twitter user wrote: ‘You guys created an extremely dangerous environment. Besides paying for bracelets at the table and seconds later be denied entry at the metal detectors (due to “over capacity”), you mfs did not protect anyone from the treatment ppl recieved outside of these gates.’
Another wrote: ‘Dear LA Pride, I got my weekend ticket and couldn’t event go inside the festival. The real question is why you oversold so many tickets leaving people who got them b4 out? I want my money back!’
LA County Scanner then reported an escalation of events, with people trying to rush through the metal detectors.
They tweeted: ‘Crowd is forming and is about to breach the metal detectors. Tactical Response team responding.’
GRAVELY disappointed in L.A. Pride. Went in earlier, had to leave, then came back to only be told to go into this ONE LONG LINE, WAIT 2 HOURS, THEN 300 FEET FROM THE GATE WE’RE TOLD IT’S CLOSED?!? #fail #LAPride
— Andrew (@ABrooks2007) 10 June 2018
One attendee took to Twitter to express how terrified she was with the heavy police presence. She tweeted: ‘I honestly feel like crying having just witnessed a riot police presence at a pride event. Police with pellet guns standing under the pride banner. It was terrifying.’
In response to the confusion on the night, LA Pride tweeted a statement: ‘We are sorry and want to apologize to everyone who could not get in after the venue hit capacity.
‘If you have a ticket or wristband that was never used yesterday, we will exchange it for a Sunday ticket at the box office,’ they said.
It is not yet clear if LA Pride plans to issue full refunds to ticket-holders turned away at the door.
Gay Star News reached out to LA Pride for further comment.
Kehlani: ‘Y’all deserve refunds’
Openly bisexual singer Kehlani was one of the headlining acts on the night.
She took to Twitter to address the angry reactions to LA Pride being overcapacity. She said: ‘i’m seeing all your tweets and messages. i’m sorry LA Pride reached their full capacity and aren’t letting any more people in. y’all deserve refunds and i hope we get a chance to jam soon.’
Kehlani then later tweeted: ‘as fun as that was my heart goes out to all the folks who drove, flew, train & bussed here and weren’t allowed in. my heart is wit those who had scary run ins with the LAPD & bad security tonight. we gotta do better.’
through all the mishaps.. tonight we broke a record. made history. LA Pride committee said they’ve never seen ticket sales like this. thank you again. really.
— Kehlani (@Kehlani) 10 June 2018
She also addressed technical difficulties from the night.
Kehlani said she had to perform with no functioning ear monitor, after taking it out during the first song. She also had to start her first song again because her microphone wasn’t even on during the beginning.
Kim Petras also performed with technical difficulties. During the live-stream of her set, the audio cuts out from the broadcast.
The LA Pride parade occurs today (10 June), starting at midday.
Stoli vodka unveils Harvey Milk limited-edition bottle
on: May 23, 2018 Tags: Miami Gay Info, Miami Gay Information, Miami Gay News, Miami LGBTQ Info, Miami LGBTQ News
Stoli Vodka in the US yesterday unveiled a special limited-edition bottle commemorating the late LGBTI activist, Harvey Milk.
Yesterday was Harvey Milk Day in the US. Milk became the first openly gay man elected to public office in the US when he became a city supervisor in San Francisco in 1978. Another city supervisor, Dan White, assassinated Milk later that same year.
The Harvey Milk Foundation worked in conjuction with Stoli to produce the limited edition bottle. Stoli said in a statement it was donating to the non-profit to help it continue its work honoring Milk’s memory.
‘We are excited to take our partnership with Stoli to a higher level this year as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of my uncle’s historic 11 months of public service,’ said Stuart Milk, Global LGBT advocate and co-founder of the Harvey Milk Foundation.
‘The Stoli Harvey Milk Limited Edition bottle recognizes our history and commemorates who helped lead us forward towards visibility, a visibility that will be enhanced by this wonderful tribute from a creative and passionate brand.’

Although vodka companies promoting their LGBTI-friendly credentials is nothing new, Stoli has been keener than most to demonstrate its gay-friendly credentials.
In 2013, some gay activists called for a boycott of Russian vodka – including Stoli – in response to the discriminatory way the Russian government treats LGBTI citizens.
However, the ownership of Stoli has been the subject of several legal disputes in certain areas of the world. Originally owned by the Russian state, following the breakup of the Soviet Union in the 90s, Stolichnaya passed into the hands of SPI Groups (Spirits International).
Russian tycoon Yuri Shefler controls SPI. The company, headquartered in Luxembourg now produces and distributes the vodka as ‘Stoli’ across the world (including the US). However, its copyright ownership has faced challenges in Russia itself and the Netherlands.
When activists called for a boycott, Stoli issued a statement saying it did not agree with the Russian Government. It pointed out that Stoli was not made in Russia but in Latvia. The brand has also consistently donated to LGBTI causes.
It even appointed a Stoli LGBT National Brand Ambassador, Patrik Gallineaux – a first for any vodka brand.
The Harvey Milk limited edition bottle features artwork by Paraguayan artist Oz Montania. It launched yesterday at San Francisco’s The Café, where Montainia unveiled a mural to the gay rights hero. It will receive a second launch event tomorrow evening (24 May) at The Abbey in Los Angeles.
Stoli is not the first brand to celebrate Milk. Last year, Levi’s unveiled a range of clothing that paid tribute to the former politician.

1825 Upland Ave, Boulder, CO 80304 isoldestewart@gmail.com 303-442-7434
New Horizons Cooperative Preschool offers a half-day, play-based, bilingual preschool program for children aged 2.5 to 7 years old. Founded in 1968, our goal is to bring together families and children who are traditionally separated by ethnicity, class, race, and culture. For nearly 50 years, New Horizons has continued to operate as a collaborative effort of parents, teachers, and community members to foster diversity and to educate one another.
Located in north Boulder near 19th St. and Upland Ave in quiet and calm neighborhood, the preschool has abundant opportunities and space inside and outside to learn, play and grow. Our large, tree shaded yard is a magical place for children – with play structures to boost gross motor skills, intimate areas for pretend play, friendly next door goats to interact with, a garden to dig in, bikes and trikes for exercise, and sand to boxes to build and dig in.
Play-Based and Child-Centered:
Children are given the freedom to create and discover their own manner of learning and interaction, and teachers respect and build upon the interests of children with themes and activities drawn from observation.
New Horizons is a child-centered school where children are given time to explore their own interests. A rich and varied environment enables children to make choices, creating and discovering their own manner of learning and interaction.
Teachers respect and build upon the interests of children, selecting themes and topics of exploration by observing emerging themes in children’s play, rhythms of nature, and cultural celebrations. Our goal is for children to develop a life-long love for learning through creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving.
Bilingual Spanish & English:
Our bilingual program creates a unique opportunity for children and families to engage in a cross-cultural journey. Half of our families are Spanish speaking, and all of our activities are presented in English and Spanish.
As a cooperative, all parents participate in all aspects of school operation. This cooperative approach builds a respectful community in which families from diverse backgrounds work, play, and learn together. Parents participate on a rotating basis in their child’s class, contributing not only their time but their language and cultural experience as well. We have two volunteer parent assistants in each class.
The benefits of the a co-op are myriad:
Parents are directly connected to their children’s first school experience, making it an easier transition and setting the stage for a connection throughout their child’s academic career.
Parents can learn from the teachers and each other in ways to engage and educate their own children.
Parents can have fun with the whole class in a dynamic, engaging environment.
Parents grow in their understanding of their children by interacting with them and their peers.
Families learn together through their contact with children and parents of different backgrounds.
Teachers demonstrate the depth of social and conceptual learning that takes place during play.
New Horizons can operate with a ratio of 5:1 (Students:Adults).
Each parent adds their personal touch to the classroom’s day, whether it is in singing a song, making a healthy snack, leading a craft, or just interacting with a small group of students.
Co-op & Parent Involvement:
Our parents are integral to the success of our children. Parents volunteer in the classroom and benefit through the connection to their children’s daily routine. This creates a 4 or 5:1 student to adult ratio.
Parents are important partners in providing the early educational experiences that lay the foundation for success in school and beyond. At New Horizons, all parents assist the teachers in the classroom on a regular basis as “co-opers.” as well as other aspects of the school’s operation.
This cooperative approach builds a respectful community in which families from diverse backgrounds work, play, and learn together. Parents participate on a rotating basis in their child’s class, contributing not only their time but their language and cultural experience as well. We have two volunteer parent assistants in each class.
Appreciation of Diversity:
We value diversity in culture, class, language, ethnicity, ability, and individual expression, and believe in an environment where each person is honored and respected for their differences and commonalities.
Our goal is to develop in each child an appreciation of his or her unique voice, as well as a sense of wonder and respect for the beautiful and diverse world in which we live. As our children take their place in our increasingly complex, global world, they will have some deep resources to draw upon, having learned in preschool the importance of respect, kindness and friendship in solving problems of all kinds.
Classes | Enrollment
We offer 3 classes options ranging from 2 to 5 days a week. Each class has a maximum of 16 students with a goal to equality as it relates to gender and native language. Each class has three teachers and at least one parent volunteer which results in a 4 to 1 student/teacher ratio.
Each class begins with open arts & crafts time, then children, teachers and parents join together during circle time where teachers lead the students through English and Spanish games, songs and activities. This leads to open play in our beautiful outdoor playground and yard where the children explore and learn together or individually. We then gather again for a snack and short quiet time and end the class with an English and Spanish story time.

Age: 2.5 – 7 years
Tuition: $230*/month ($2,070/school year)

Protect Mustangs asks CNN to correct glaring error about the indigenous American wild horse
Posted on May 22, 2012 by Protect Mustangs
Wild War Horse (Photo © Cynthia Smalley, all rights reserved.)
We were surprised to see CNN publish the error about American wild horses in Polish pony that survived the Nazis uniting Europe’s nature reserves. The author states that zoologists claim the American mustang is not a wild horse so we sent them comments and are asking for them to correct their article. Here are our comments:
RE: Shocking Error Published by CNN
American wild horses, aka mustangs, are an indigenous species. The horse originated in North America.
The author of this article appears to make erroneous claims about American mustangs, “zoologists say that strictly speaking these are really feral domesticated horses.” That is incorrect. Recent science proves mustangs are not only a wildlife species but most importantly indigenous.
Which zoologists are claiming the American mustang is not a wild horse but a “feral” back alley horse? Why didn’t the author cite the names of the alleged zoologists?
Most zoologists are familiar with the work of PhD.s J.F. Kirkpatrick and P.M. Fazio and the revised January 2010 paper Wild Horses as Native North American Wildlife. The Science and Conservation Center, ZooMontana, Billings. 8 pages seen here: http://protectmustangs.org/?page_id=562
Their scientific paper states, “Thus, based on a great deal of paleontological data, the origin of E. caballus is thought to be about two million years ago, and it originated in North America.”
Also the paper cites, “The fact that horses were domesticated before they were reintroduced matters little from a biological viewpoint. They are the same species that originated here, and whether or not they were domesticated is quite irrelevant. Domestication altered little biology, and we can see that in the phenomenon called “going wild,” where wild horses revert to ancient behavioral patterns. Feist and McCullough (1976) dubbed this “social conservation” in his paper on behavior patterns and communication in the Pryor Mountain wild horses. The reemergence of primitive behaviors, resembling those of the plains zebra, indicated to him the shallowness of domestication in horses.”
We kindly request CNN correct this error immediately.

I also await a correction by CNN, and or the names of the American Zoologists that claim the horse is not indigeous to North America as recent scientific findings and reports claim.
From an individual standpoint, it appears that CNN is bias against the American Wild Mustangs and the current movement in the USA to stop the slaughter of them, which is “Saving the Wild Mustangs” and to Overturn the Legalization of Horse Slaughter for Human Consumption as 80% of us disapprove. If it were not for big lobby $$$ the bills pending in Congress to protect American wild mustangs would be law. Lastly, CNN printing an article that compares the Nazi’s WWII criminal acts of human selection also with beasts such as the European wild horses, the ‘tarpan’ just sent shivers down my spine!

We support you “Protect Mustangs”~: and stand with you in truth.. our wild horses and burros are “native” to North America. “https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=324828804206575 “Dear Ms. Simon,
I am writing to briefly comment on your WSJ article on wild horse castration, but only with regard to a particular scientific issue: the “native” or “endemic” vs. “alien” or “invasive” status of wild horses in North America. Although these terms are used in different ways by different people or interest groups, I’ll stick with an evolutionary definition of a “native” species as being one that differentiated or diverged from its immediate ancestor species within a specific geographical locale.
In my view, the primary considerations are these:
1. It is correct that the standing crop of wild horses in the US is recently derived from lines domesticated in Europe (and Asia).
2. But those lines themselves go much further back in time, and converge on populations that lived in North America during the latter part of the Pleistocene (2.5M to 10k years ago). The evidence for this, until recently, has been primarily morphological, based on comparisons of living vs. fossil horses. The genetic evidence from ancient DNA is still preliminary, but it seems to point to the same conclusion, which is that the species Equus caballus–the species encompassing all domestic horses and their wild progenitors–arose on this continent.
3. The evidence thus favors the view that this species is “native” to North America, given any rational understanding of the term “native”. By contrast, there are no paleontological or genetic grounds for concluding that it is native to any other continent.
4. From a scientific standpoint, it is completely irrelevant that native horses died out in North America 10,000 years ago, or that later populations were domesticated in central Asia 6000 years ago. Such considerations have no bearing on their status as having originated on this continent.
5. It is worth noting that dozens of other species in addition to native horses died out at the close of the Pleistocene, in an episode termed the megafaunal extinctions. The only major difference is that, long before 10,000 bp, E. caballus had established itself on other continents (South America as well as Eurasia) by crossing landbridges. There they survived. Reintroduction to North America 500 years ago is, biologically, a non-event: horses were merely returned to part of their former native range, where they have since prospered because ecologically they never left.
5. Whether these considerations should play a role in policy decisions I leave to others. At the same time, it needs to be more widely understood that the horse’s status as a native North American species is beyond serious question, whatever side of the debate over wild horse control one leans toward.

Rather slipshod reporting, CNN! Dr.’s Jay Kirpatrick and Patricia Fazio of the Science and Conservation Center, ZooMontana have published work that, not only is North America the plan of origon for all equid species, furthermore, there are no significant genetic differences between the original horse of 10,000 years ago and the domesticated varieties of horses that exist today.
Dr Craig Downer, in his book, “The Wild Horse Conspriacy”, has detailed how the horse is a “keystone species” in the North American ecosystem and that the drastic reductions in numbers of horses by the BLM is the cause of significant degradation of the ecology of the west, furthermore, currently under investigation by scientists is the relation between removal of the horses by the BLM and the catistrophic range fires in the west. this is because the real invasive species in the west is a kind of grass called “cheat grass”. Cheat grass is a significant player in fire risk.
The role of horses is this: Wild horses range on average 20 miles or more daily to find food and water and significantly reduce cheat grass. However, cattle, which outnumber horses 50 to 1 on the range don’t move around much….they hang around the water sources fouling them and don’t go far searching for food.
Recent finiding details in thewildlifenews describe the latest research releases that welfare ranching (leasing our public lands to ranchers to exploit) is the main source of ecological destruction in the west. before i sumit and article, i do a bit more research that one source…..are your writers too lazy to do that?

New $35 Raspberry Pi is the Most Powerful Yet for Running a Full Bitcoin Node
June 25, 2019 ICO Comments Off on New $35 Raspberry Pi is the Most Powerful Yet for Running a Full Bitcoin Node
The Raspberry Pi Foundation released a new, more powerful model of its miniscule single-board computer on June 24, which costs $35 a pop and has the capacity to run full nodes cheaply on the bitcoin (BTC) network.
Earlier versions of the Raspberry Pi have been popular with bitcoin enthusiasts and decentralization advocates as it offers low-cost and thus low-barrier entry to those interested in running their own full nodes on the network.
Doing so allows users to verify their own transactions over the bitcoin network independently without having to trust third-party wallet services.
Unlike miners, who are rewarded with BTC for validating transactions, full nodes do not get compensation for their contribution to the network — which they make in the form of hosting and transmitting updated copies of the blockchain (or distributed transaction ledger).
The new Pi is thus apparently poised to make the process and costs of running a full node more efficient for all network participants — whether they be miners, enterprises, or privacy-conscious individuals.
As of press time, almost 23% of bitcoin nodes globally are run from the United States, followed by Germany at circa 19%.
One of the industry’s popular pre-synced node products, Casa Node, has relied on an inbuilt Raspberry Pi — though earlier iterations of the model have frustrated some users due to its reported slowness.
The new model — the computer’s 4th version — purportedly represents a significant upgrade on earlier versions. At its most expensive — with 4GB RAM — it costs $55 (excluding tax).
The Raspberry Pi Foundation says the latest model supports for an extra 500mA of current — enabled by the switch from USB micro-B to USB-C — thereby ensuring the computer has a full 1.2A for downstream USB devices.
It also comes with a new operating system, which the Foundation claims come with a host of back-end technical improvements, Gigabit Ethernet speed, a modernized interface, plus support for updated applications such as Chromium 74 web browser.
Notably, in the years since Pi’s first release in 2012, other options of low-barrier entry hardware have emerged — including HTC’s Exodus 1S smartphone, which has bitcoin full node capability and was released this May.
Also in May, Cointelegraph reported on data released by bitcoin core developer Luke Dashjr apparently indicating that over half of the full nodes in the bitcoin network were still running client software vulnerable to an inflation bug discovered back in September 2018.

ILL THEORY //
Ill Theory is a new collaboration between Vocalist Amber Renèe and producer Platterpush. Growing up in the Blue Mountains both artists have known each other since childhood and have shared stages in the past but only recently joined forces.
Performance has always been a strong part of Amber’s life, growing up and touring with her mother who was a professional cabaret singer.
In the late 1990’s Amber became involved in the early Australian Hip Hop scene, regularly performing in gigs alongside some of Sydney’s finest. Working with Artist’s such as Tuka, 13th Son and Sereck helped Amber hone her strong lyrical foundation that is still evident in her work today.
In recent years Amber has returned to her musical roots singing Soul, Jazz and Blues in numerous residencies at music venues throughout the Blue Mountains.
Platterpush was a founding member and producer of Down Under Beats crew, a hip hop group that toured extensively and released two albums in the mid 2000’s.

Amber and Platterpush have supported and performed alongside such high profile artists as De La Soul, Lord Finesse, Tim Dog, Bliss n Eso, Thundamentals, Hermitude and Def Wish Cast.

THE HERDSMEN ARE NOT FULANI: THEY ARE FROM THE MOON
written by Our Reporter March 18, 2018
By: Femi Fani-Kayode
“Labelling the attackers as Fulani is wrong. Fulani people are peaceful and live in harmony with other ethnicities. To call the killer herdsmen Fulani is a misnomer. They are just criminals and not Fulani criminals”- Vice President Atiku Abubakar, 11 March 2018, Thisday Newspaper.
Is it so difficult for us to accept the ugly truth and to call a spade a spade? Must we continue to mock the memories of those that have been slaughtered by shielding those who butchered them? Have we no shame or remorse? Are these childish semantics and infantile denials really necessary?
I have immense respect and affection for Vice President Atiku Abubakar and it stretches back for many years but this assertion shocks and surprises me. It is most unlike him to speak in this way. And I happen to know that he is far bigger and better than this.
There are however some ugly realities that we have to accept and live with in this country and this is one of them. Living in denial cannot solve the problem: it can only aggravate it and make it worse.
It is bad enough that hardly any Fulani leaders have come out to publicly condemn the activities of their herdsmen but to condemn the horrendous acts and then attempt to shield the racial identity of those behind it by saying that they are not Fulani is even worse.
Permit me to expand on this. Saying that the Fulani terrorists are not Fulani is rather like saying that Adolf Hitler’s Nazis, who gassed 6 million Jews to death in concentration camps during Word War II, were not German. It is like saying that Abubakar Shekau and his Boko Haram footsoldiers, who have slaughtered thousands of our people over the last few years, are not Muslims and are not Nigerians.
It is like saying that the white Boers who owned and ran apartheid-South Africa, who slaughtered the black African population and who regarded them as nothing more than animals that were only fit for breeding and slave labour, were not caucasians and did not originally come from Holland in western Europe.
Such assertions fly in the face of logic, have no basis in veracity, are manifestly irrational and are deeply insulting. Not only are they deeply flawed but, worst of all, they are designed to conceal the truth and obstruct any future attempt to bring the perpertrators to justice.
And if Atiku Abubakar or anyone else insists on saying that the killer herdsmen are not Fulani then perhaps they could tell us exactly what they are, who they are and where they come from?
Are they from Mars? Are they from Pluto? Are they from the moon? Or are they from the dark and sinister Vulture Mountain and the infamous “land of the bitter waters” in Futa Jalon, Guniea?
Last year Governor Nasir El Rufai told the world that they are non-Nigerian Fulanis and that they were from Niger, Mali, Chad and other such places.
Atiku has now gone a step further by saying that they are not Fulani at all, whether local or foreign! This consistent and constant denial from Fulani leaders has to stop. They must accept the fact that some of their people are naturally murderous and they must do something about it.
We must not shy away from challenging anyone who attempts to becloud this issue or mislead the Nigerian people.
It does not matter if we happen to be in the same political party or in different ones. If anyone, no matter how highly placed or respected, crosses the line or indulges in any shape or form of mendacity and deception in this matter, we must and will call that person out.
That is what leadership is all about. And this is all the more important because the situation appears to be getting worse and, if we are not careful, it may escalate into a full scale religious and tribal war that would cause Nigeria to cease to exist.
Consider the words of Mr. Magnus Oraka who is from Jos and whose community was attacked just a few days ago.
He posted a moving and emotional video from his hometown on Facebook yesterday in which he spoke with courage and passion. He said,
“This Fulani attack and killing is war against Nigeria and war against Christians. It is not APC vs PDP, it is Muslim vs Christian. We don’t have weapons to defend ourselves, all we have are sticks. God Punish Buhari, God punish those of you that voted for Buhari, God punish those that are still supporting Buhari. Look at my face! I am in Jos: come and meet me!”
To butress his point about the religious dimension of the conflict, according to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) many Churches have been burnt down by Fulani herdsmen all over the country in the last three years. 60 of them were burnt down in Benue state in the last few weeks whilst over 1000 have been burnt down in Southern Kaduna alone in the last three years!
If this were simply a conflict over land rights and a struggle between tribes and ethnic nationalities why on earth are Churches being targetted by the Fulani as well?
Whichever way you look at it, clearly the victims and members of the indigenous communities that are under siege are getting fed up. Their backs are up against the wall and they are eager to defend themselves and hit back.
And given what they have been subjected to over the years and particulatly since Buhari came to power three years ago, who can blame them?
Most importantly they are under no illusion and have no doubt about who the aggressors, attackers and perpetrators are and where they come from.
The truth is that not only are these barbarians and genocidal maniacs that take delight in indulging in mass murders Fulani but they are also NIGERIAN Fulanis.
They are inspired, led, guided, funded, supported and protected by Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore and the Miyetti Allah Cattle Herders Association which are both organisations that are made up of Fulanis and that are headed by the Fulani Sultan of Sokoto and the Fulani Emir of Kano.
The Chairman of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, one Abdullahi Bello Bodejo, is Fulani as well just as are all the leaders of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association like one Garus Gololo. Finally their Life Patron is another Fulani by the name of President Muhammadu Buhari.
At one time or the other every single one of these individuals together with many other Fulani leaders such as the spokesman of the Arewa Consultative Forum, the notorious and rabidly pro-northern Fulani supremacist, Professor Ango Abdullahi, have tried to defend, justify and rationalise the outrageous and barbaric behaviour of their members and Fulani kinsmen.
They have said that the killings were inescapable, unpreventable and justified and that the Fulani herdsmen had every right to attack and slaughter innocent and defenceless people, including women and children, simply because those people were obstructing the free movement of Fulani cattle from one part of the country to another.
They also accused them of preventing the Fulani cows from eating their crops and of building houses on some fictitious and non-existent cattle routes which they claim that our erstwhile British colonial masters had allegedly granted them as far back as 1904!
Miyetti Allah itself went further by alluding to the fact that they were pleased with Buhari’s luke-warm and indifferent attitude to the whole matter and indeed the way that he has run the country over the last three years and that if he was not re-elected as President in 2019 they would “burn Nigeria to the ground”.
Knowing all this, for someone to now say that the killers are not Fulani is clearly an attempt to mislead the public and to befuddle the issues.
The Fulani leaders MUST accept that they own this problem and they must take full responsibility for the brutality, savagery and unacceptable behaviour of their people.
We must stop the deceit. There is no room for political correctness here or attempting to sweep the truth under the carpet. I say this because dozens of innocent people are being killed every day.
Furthermore it is disingenious and unfair to expect us not to call the terrorists who and what they really are: Fulani terrorists. We call them that because they are committing crimes against humanity and because they are members of the Fulani race.
If any Fulani leader is uncomfortable with that and do not want us to call them what they are then they are best advised to counsel and control their Fulani brothers and tell them to stop behaving like animals and killing our people.
Only a Fulani man will say that it is wrong or that it is a misnomer to call a killer Fulani herdsman and a Fulani terrorist what he is.
Such a man that is not ready to call a spade a spade cannot be taken seriously.
Let us make no mistake about it: todays struggle is not just about party politics or getting Buhari out of power in 2019.
The struggle is far bigger than that and it is essentially about securing our liberation. We are fighting to be free and to win our liberation from the hegemony, tyranny, cruelty and barbarity of the Fulani who have slaughtered our people like flies over the last three years and who insist on ruling our nation in perpetuity and turning us all into little more than paupers, beggars and slaves.
If that makes some uncomfortable it is simply too bad and it changes nothing. The truth is that it is time for us to call a spade a spade and to stop pampering the enemy or massaging his ego.
If the Fulani want to be treated with decorum, respect and affection and if any Fulani man ever wishes to have a hope in hell of being elected President of our country ever again, the genocide and ethnic cleansing that they unleash on our people on a daily basis must stop. Anything short of that is unacceptable.
Permit me to share the words of Mr. Samson Tannon Tongman who said the following:
“The agenda is bigger than Atiku. It is jihad, land grab and Islamization. All northerners must fall in line, including Atiku”.
This is an insighful and deeply profound observation. It also provides a veritable explanation for the doublespeak that virtually every single northern Muslim leader, including a liberal and otherwise benign and reasonable one like Atiku, indulges in when it comes to the nefarious and unspeakable atrocities of the Fulani herdsmen and terrorists.
It appears that Mr. Opeyemi Oluyade was right when he said,
“this is the time for liberation politics, not party politics: liberation from the Fulani”.
Permit me to conclude this contribution with the words of embattled Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state whose people have been subjected to nothing less than genocide and have suffered immeasurably at the hands of the Fulani terrorists in the last three years. A few days ago he hosted President Buhari in his state and said,
“On 30th May, 2017, the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore in a World Press Conference held in Abuja, opposed the Ranching Law. They called on Fulani herders in all of West Africa to come into Benue to help them reclaim their land. In the same vein, Miyetti Allah Cattle Herders Association in their Press Conference declared that more blood will flow in Benue if the Ranching Law is not rescinded. Your Excellency, as a President that supports the Rule of Law, you will most certainly be offended by these hate speeches that may have crossed the red line. Your Excellency, how can a group claim responsibility for the killings that happened and are going about scot free? How can a group make public these inciting and criminal declarations in an organized society and are not arrested by the Police? Your Excellency, kindly order the immediate arrest and prosecution of the leadership of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore and Miyetti Cattle Breeders Association for carrying out their threats to attack Benue on account of the Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law, 2017”.
This is wise and courageous counsel from Ortom and it is long overdue. I agree with him that the leaders of Miyetti Allah should be arrested but I would go a step further by suggesting that the organisation should also be proscribed and declared as a terrorist organisation.
From the foregoing it appears that not everyone has been fooled or persuaded by the misleading assertion and perfidious narrative that those that are carrying out the killings are not Fulani.
Governor Ortom knows that they are Fulani just as does every other discerning and sensible Nigerian.
Furthermore by stating their intention to spill even more blood and kill every soul in Benue state and elsewhere simply because of the passing of the Anti-Grazing Bill, Miyetti Allah have not only confessed to their heinous crimes against humanity but they have also relished them, boasted about them and have made it abundantly clear that they intend to kill many more innocent people, including women and children.
What more evidence do we need to prove that these terrorists and mass murderers are indeed Fulani and that they have no intention of stopping the carnage until the people of southern and Middle Belt Nigeria are either completely wiped out and ethnically cleansed off the face of the earth or are ready to submit to them, give them all their land, give them all their farms and bow to their cows?
Those that are eager to mislead the world, becloud the issues, brush the filth under the carpet and cover the tracks of these bloodthirsty beasts should answer that question.
Permit me to conclude this contribution with the following.
Every day since the beginning of this year Fulani terrorists have killed people in one part of Nigeria or the other and the number of those murdered over the last three years has entered into the thousands.
On Thursday 15th March 2018, 35 innocent people, including women and children, were slaughtered in Kogi state as well.
The state has not passed an Anti-Grazing Law, its people have not blocked any cow-grazing routes and it’s Governor, a young Igbira businessman by the name of Yahaya Bello, is a bumbling slave of the Fulani and a self-deprecating acolyte of Buhari who donated 15,000 hectares of state land to the herdsmen for the establishment of the infamous cattle ranches.
For those who say that the reason that the Fulani terrorists butcher innocent people is because of the Anti-Grazing Law, blocked grazing routes, hostility to them from the local indegenous population, hatred for Buhari or the refusal to establish cattle ranches, how do you explain this?
The truth is that there is no reason for their sociopathic and genocidal behaviour other than the fact that they are murderous by nature and they wish to wipe out entire indigenous populations all over Nigeria in order to take their land, steal their mineral resources, rape their women, conquer their souls, enslave their people and break their spirit.
It is their legendry brutality that qualified them to be the slave raiders for the Europeans and the Arabs during the days of the slave trade.
No-one, not even the cowards and quislings amongst us like Yahaya Bello that sell their souls and trade their birthright to them, that role out the red carpet to receive them and that bow and tremble before them are safe or exempt from their sociopathic barbarity and their psyhcopathic savagery.
That is a bitter lesson that many in our country still have to learn.
You cannot appease a ravenous and insatiable snake and you cannot befriend a wild and hungry beast.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky Review by wolffster25
Written by wolffster25
"The sky is the limit but I prefer to be on the ground."
So here we are I thought they would never do this but it happened. If you don't remember the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series released in September of 2006 with Red on the Gamboy Advance and Blue on the DS. Then in April of 2008 we got the official DS exclusive to the series Time and Darkness. Two separate versions of the same game similar to the original Pokemon Series. I thought it would just stay at two like Red and Blue. Now we have the iconic third game making our duo a trio. As you know with most third games in this setup there are new features and improvements to add to the experience that the other games did not have. What are those new features? Well then read the rest to find out.
For me the story of an RPG is the most important aspect without a story even if the game play is exceptionally good, it just does not appeal to me(Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals is a good example of good game play with no story for me). The main plot in Sky is the same as the one featured in Time and Darkness. You’re a human who has turned into a Pokemon, you join an exploration guild with your partner and start an exploration team, you need to save the world from destruction, ect. While this may seem like a bad thing the game does not suffer from having the exact same story, as the one in Time and Darkness was exceptionally well done and thought out. However it still suffers from the same problems the previous tiles had most notably the cutscenes at the end of every day. New to the third entry is optional side stories about some of your fellow guild members which are unlocked as you progress through the story. Out of the five presented there were only three I enjoyed. Overall if you are willing to put up with the first half of the game the story is exceptionally well written and well done and will leave you satisfied at the end.
Graphics and Design:
These are the same graphics that were on the previous titles not much to be said here.
Game play and Additional Content:
If you have played the previous titles you already know what to expect this is a mystery dungeon game, also known as a "rougelike"(look up a review of Shiren the Wanderer for more info on the term "rougelike"). You will trudge through randomly generated dungeons fighting numerous enemies and beating up bosses at the end of some dungeons. I will not go into detail about what can be found in the previous games instead I will focus on the additional content for this game. First one of the problems with the first game was equipping certain items, like various stats boosting scarves; you could only equip them in Dungeons and were unequipped whenever you left them. In this game the items will always stay equipped and are equip able outside of dungeons as well. The swap shop has seen a significant improvement over Time and Darkness where in the previous titles you could only trade set items that you already had which was annoying as it was completely random to get these set items. Now you can trade a specific number of your items for a specific item chosen from a list as well as trading set items you have acquired you can also see a list of items that will work for a Pokemon in your active party making getting many of the really good items much easier. There are five new starters to choose from, Riolu, Shinx, and Phanphy are male exclusive and for female exclusive there are Eevee and Vulpix but there is that annoying personality quiz so expect a lot of resetting until you get the one you want however choosing a partner is much easier in this game as the game displays a full list of partners for you to choose. There is some extra post game content involving Shaymin and some new facilities including a cafe for stat boosting drinks, a recycle shop for acquiring certain items as well as a lottery, and a secret bazaar which can be randomly found in any dungeon. One failure from the new content is the new mail system Wonder Mail S. In the previous titles you could exchange a code for certain jobs and give them to your friends for the same rewards. The problem here is that Wonder mail S not compatible with Time and Darkness this is because Sky has certain variations on jobs that the previous games did not include, for example you find the outlaw and he runs away from you or you have to deal with the outlaw and a monster house. This is unfortunate but not severely game breaking as ignored but for those that enjoyed the previous system this can be heart breaking.. Overall there are many great new features, but Wonder Mail S is very disappointing one.
I have to say that I have a new appreciation of the music mostly thanks to the new Jukebox feature; the music fits the style of the dungeon you’re going through. There are some very good tunes in here and some that will break your heart to hear. In short the music is exceptionally well done and I am glad to have heard it.
Replay Value:
This is where game falls short for me after you clear the game and the post game story there is not a whole lot left for you to do which is sad. This game would have benefitted from a new game+ feature which would have helped to increase its game play significantly however there is no feature. As after I have finished the entire story there is not a lot I want to do after that, the dungeon crawling is the same and there is no more story to be had, aside from extra dungeons with restrictions which are really hard. If you start a new game you have to erase all your previous data which is unfortunate as you lose everything. However I do enjoy rescuing other people over Wi-Fi or through Wonder Mail so that is a plus.
+Many improvements
+New Facilities
+Good Story and music
+New Starters
+Optional Side Stories
+Rescuing friends over WI-Fi
-Dungeon crawling gets repetitive after a while
-The first half of the story is boring
-Only three good side stories
-Little incentive to replay after finishing the entire story
The Ugly
-The end of day cutscenes (help me)
-Wonder Mail S does not work with Time and Darkness
Overall Rating - 4.0 Good
Rent or Buy:
To summarize for the people who have played the previous games I would recommend renting before you buy this game as it pretty much the same as Time and Darkness. But for those who would like to explore beyond the sky or on the ground whichever you prefer then this is a good game to pick up it has a very good story after the half way point and can be a lot of fun for the right person. Well I am of to see beyond the realms of time, darkness, and the sky who can say what awaits me at the end of my journey. But I know I will find the answer at journeys end.So here we are I thought they would never do this but it happened. If you don't remember the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series released in September of 2006 with Red on the Gamboy Advance and Blue on the DS. Then in April of 2008 we got the official DS exclusive to the series Time and Darkness. Two separate versions of the same game similar to the original Pokemon Series. I thought it would just stay at two like Red and Blue. Now we have the iconic third game making our duo a trio. As you know with most third games in this setup there are new features and improvements to add to the experience that the other games did not have. What are those new features? Well then read the rest to find out.

Door of Re-Entry Shut to Palestinians
The first time I really saw Palestine
Images of the Occupation: Teaching in Nablus
Home » Education Denied » Images of the Occupation: Teaching in Nablus
CARL GELDERLOOS, Counterpunch, 12 October 2006
One image that sticks is the one of a boy throwing a rock at a tank. The boy, a Palestinian, is poised on the edge of release, one foot raised, rock hand stretched back, frozen in perigee. The Israeli tank too is frozen by the camera’s shutter, stopped in mid-trundle for the photogenic instant before lurching forward like a mindless metal beetle.
The boy’s back is to us, he is between us and the tank which, filling the background and facing us, suggests incessance. There is something relentlessly sinister about the composition, it seems to offer a promise, and a threat. The boy is all defiance, resistance, and with these, albeit reluctantly, hope. He also hints at an unremitting hopelessness that must sound something like the dull clang of a rock on plated steel. This image was on a poster on a door in an apartment in Nablus. Another poster in the same apartment offered a pair of images bracketing the caption “From the children of Israel to the children of Lebanon.” The top image showed a neatly ordered stack of ordnance. Two smiling girls kneel next to the stack. The nearer girl, wearing pig tails, writes a message with a permanent marker on the blunt tip of one of the bombs while the other looks on. The bottom image is messier, less composed, showing merely the skewed body of a child, presumably a Lebanese child, presumably skewed by one of these bombs or one like them. And through it all, despite what these images suggest or offer outright, Israel manages to keep up the David and Goliath bit with a straight face, often to applause, as the children from these images and what they represent are sold on the market of world opinion as an existential threat.
The bombing of Lebanon’s infrastructure and civilian population was going strong as I flew into Tel Aviv. I had expected panic, rage, or fortitude from my fellow passengers, but all I could perceive was a glib chatty indifference, if a little ragged around the edges. The atmosphere in the airplane was a little buzzed, like we were vacationers possibly flying into a hurricane. Hurricane or war, in any case a bigger thing than individual experience or responsibility, condescending to alight for an instant from the empyrean of headlines and special report onto the stifling fabric of the exitless everyday.
I landed, passed through security without the anticipated questions, gawked at a painfully pretty eighteen-year-old chatting on her cell phone outside with her M-16 carelessly slung over her shoulder like a backpack, and caught the shuttle to Jerusalem. Where I spent a couple more days gawking, listening to the philosophical musings of round-the-world backpackers at the hostel along the lines of “Why can’t they just get along with each other?”, poorly navigating the seams of that much-walled city, walking into a shop in the Jewish quarter for example with an idiot’s smile and a well-intentioned salaam alaykum! And then I was off, after a stop in Bethlehem, to Nablus, where I was going to live and work for August as a volunteer with Project Hope, a local organization set up in 2003 to try and correct a little of the havoc in educational and recreational opportunities wrought by the nearly forty-year old occupation in general, and the Israeli repression of the second Intifada in particular.
Despite the media fatigue of hearing the same story over and over, despite the occasional bigger war that comes along now and then, the occupation continues, and continues to get worse. The audience may have left the theater, in boredom or despair, but the film rolls on. Since the strategic withdrawal from Gaza last year, touted by the media and politicos as the ultimate Israeli sacrifice, it has become even more of a prison than it once was; progress continues apace to similarly reduce the West Bank. In Nablus, the IDF raids the Old City and the camps nightly, and increasingly, daily. To leave the city for any other part of the West Bank, nominally under Palestinian Authority control, one must pass through an Israeli Army checkpoint. These checkpoints are humiliating, and dangerous. Waiting in the fenced enclosure, herded slowly forward, babies crying, the soldiers waving their guns, making bored jokes with each other, telling people to move forward, move back, move faster, move slower, lift up your shirt, lift up your pants, take off your shoes, empty your bag, pass through, go back, beat it, it becomes clear what there might be not to like about the occupation. The soldiers, like cops anywhere, eject commands and questions with the arbitrary violence, exasperated and mocking, of the entitled. Palestinians endure the searches, the insults, the denials with a patience and dignity that can startle. Like much dignity, it contains its fair share of rage, and not much that’s happened in the last ten years has tended to make this rage any less.
It took nearly a week for me to get classes organized, so I used those days to walk around, get acquainted. Nablus is a bright city nestled between two mountains, the blocky white structures that compose it cast across the facing sides of these. The center of town is in the valley, and from the dry hilltops above, the IDF looks down. But down in the city, things go on. The market burgeons with fruit and vegetables, yellow cabs honk at fares, actual and potential, kids run up to you and shout “Hello! How are you! What’s your name! Where areyoufrom!”, shy challenging greetings thrown your way with a grin. The Old City’s narrow streets are cool, music comes out from shops, meat hangs pendant and bloody in the butcher’s stall, kids pedal their bikes up to speed and slam on the brakes, skidding the tires across the worn stone streets. There’s just a razor’s edge suggestion of threat in the Old City, these days, behind the shops, just around the next corner. The Kasbah had it bad in the siege of the city four years ago; because of the fierce resistance the IDF developed a tunneling tactic, moving from one house to the next by blowing holes in the walls, avoiding the open streets.
These days they use plainclothes agents to assassinate militants, and two members of Islamic Jihad were killed the day before I got there. I read while I was there that a senior Hamas leader in Damascus had narrowly escaped assassination by two Israeli agents posing as international volunteers. So suspicion towards foreigners is understandable.
I taught mainly in Balata and Askar, two of Nablus’ refugee camps that have been around for more than fifty years. Balata is the largest refugee camp in the West Bank, its 30,000 inhabitants living on less than 2 km2, a simple arithmetic that leaves any sanitizing language in the news about IDF actions looking somewhat sheepish. The camps were once tent cities of those displaced during the Naqba, or catastrophe; now they are concrete ghettoes housing their descendents. The streets and alleys are narrow, wires run overhead, now and then sewage runs above ground, down the streets, instead of beneath them. Bullet holes are easy to find, and walls and roofs are often made from unexpected elements, like corrugated metal, a bare mattress frame, old bits of gate, chicken wire, or a refrigerator door.
My students in my Askar English class, just a few of the many known as terrorists, sympathizers, or collateral damage in the news, called me Teacher Teacher. They would raise their hand impatiently when they knew the answer, or for me to check their work if they finished early, children and adults alike. They laughed at each other for their mistakes, corrected each other, asked me where I was from, if I liked Palestine, was I married and why not. They horsed around, they kidded, they said hello at the start of class and goodbye at the end. They were like students anywhere, and sometimes they’d tell me about friends and relatives killed or in jail, and once they showed me bullet wounds. None of my students was alive before the Naqba, or catastrophe, in 1948. All but a few were born after the start of the occupation in 1967; most were born after the start of the first Intifada in 1987, and the youngest few after the start of the second in 2000. The occupation is what they know, and it’s difficult to imagine what they imagine as long-term prospects. If the resistance has taken on a religious, messianic tone, it’s because it has had to. When people can no longer remember the alternative to living under a violent occupation, it is only natural that hope might come to hinge on an all-or-nothing view. Israel’s religious and military establishments, with more than their fair share of power, are also playing towards the endgame, and by consistently denying every other form of political expression and action, are trying to create the Palestinian people in the image of the fundamentalist terrorist, which is what Israel has been telling the world for years the Palestinians are anyway. The American media would like nothing more than to believe that a colonial conflict is about religion, a view that absolves Israel of
its originary responsibility as colonizer and denies the element of conscious political choice to any Palestinian action. The danger lies in the possibility that reality comes to resemble the myth.
I did my month and left Nablus, its unbearably brash noons and unexpectedly cool evenings when the crackle and static sonority of the call to prayer would settle over the valley like a cloak. I said my farewells to students and colleagues and left, because I can. I hoped I had lodged at least a few solitary nuggets of knowledge in their brains, but of course that’s only half the point. The other half, maybe the weightier half, is the contact. To help them create a space where they can be students, have fun, laugh at each other’s mistakes, know that they haven’t been forgotten altogether; an empty-handed gesture of solidarity, futile perhaps in the long run, and an attempt to give an answer to the question I heard too often  “Is it true Americans think we’re all terrorists?” So I left them there, how easy it would be to forget them all, secure behind that massive rearing wall.
The other day, more than a month later, I was sitting at my kitchen table in rainy upstate New York, developing rolls of film from that impossibly distant month. One roll I developed, stopped, fixed, rinsed, and pulled dripping from the plastic container. They were pictures I’d taken of a drama class at Balata I’d helped with, boys and girls aged seven or so to thirteen or so, posing against a freshly muraled concrete wall in the courtyard of the center in the pouring sun. I looked through the negatives’ ghost images one by one, remembering the faces but few of the names. It had been the last day of class, they jostled and laughed to get their picture taken, shoved each other good naturedly away when they wanted a solo portrait, posed with friends, with wooden swords they’d gotten somewhere, making the peace sign, trying to look natural.
There were a few of me in there too, when I’d given in to their demands to take a picture, worrying about focus, aperture, shutter speed. It seems an impossible thing, yet so elementary, that these faces are held in smiling sanctuary by these plastic strips, and at the same time back there, in Nablus, in flux through the ceaseless continuum of expression.
That the images will remain, in a three-ring binder, later perhaps in a box, while the children age and change. Some will doubtless die young; some will receive the crippling blow of rubber bullets, rubble, or truncheons. All will lose people, parents, or children, if not lost themselves. All will live under checkpoints and military rule. A couple will likely become militants, then martyrs, I have a couple guesses who. And most will persist, somehow, grieving and moving on, rebuilding and moving on. It is possible that the occupation will end, some day. The only ward against despair may well be to act as if this were inevitable.

Mookie robs Reddick
First Mookie Betts single-handedly kept the Red Sox alive in Game Three of the ALDS yesterday at Fenway Park with his glove, and then he unknowingly -- except for a few of us in Section 15 -- sparked an offensive explosion that propelled Boston to a 10-3 victory over the Astros and a chance to square their best-of-five series today.
Fans were still streaming into Fenway for what could be Boston's season finale when Houston took a 3-0 lead in the first inning against Sox starter Doug Fister. After the Astros got two men on in the second, chasing Fister, Josh Reddick hit a sharp fly off Joe Kelly towards the right-field corner. Betts sprinted after it with his usual graceful strides, and just as the ball appeared headed for the first or second row, he reached out and grabbed it with a basket catch reminiscent of Dwight Evans' robbery of Joe Morgan at nearly the same spot in Game Six of the 1975 World Series.
Hanley did his part - 4-for-4 with 3 RBI
The play ended the inning; rather than being down 6-0, the Sox were still in striking range. They got one run back in the second, and then in the third Mookie was at it again -- sprinting with his back to the plate and snaring an Alex Bregman smash over his shoulder just in front of the warning track (ending the inning and another Houston scoring threat).
As Betts jogged in after this latest catch, Boston fans offered the reigning Gold Glover a huge ovation. Rachel and I, who had scored terrific seats in the first few rows of the lower grandstand behind the Red Sox dugout, high-fived our neighbor (and new Fenway friend) Nancy (not to be confused with our longtime friends Nancy and Nancy, aka "The Women of Section 30").
Betts nabs another
I was about to get much better acquainted with this new Nancy. In the bottom of the fourth, Betts hit a high foul ball toward our section. It looked at first to be off to our left, but then at the last moment it curved and slammed down directly into the empty seat between me and Nancy (who had nicely moved one over from her "real" seat earlier to give me extra legroom). The ball rolled under the seat, and as I reached down to grab it, Nancy's hand sneaked in at the last moment to nab the prize fair and square.
Rachel was momentarily disappointed, until I explained that the only way I could have grabbed the ball on the fly would be to have flung my beloved scorebook one way and shove Nancy the other. Plus, I said as I pointed to the band around Nancy's left hand, she appeared to have a wrist injury that I didn't want to harm further in our beneath-the-seat scramble.
Rachel forgives Dad
"I understand, Dad," Rachel said, in that 13-year-old way that you know is masking disappointment with a budding maturity so as to not wound her father's bruised ego. "We'll get another one."
Betts struck out on the next pitch, after which came a moment both comical and magical. I learned that Nancy wasn't injured at all -- what I thought was a brace of some sort was actually, she explained with a laugh, a wrist purse in which she was keeping her keys. She also told me she was especially excited about the ball because of a near miss years before. While at a game with her son in these same seats, she had a foul ball land directly in her beer, knock it from her hand, and then roll four rows away and out of her life. This was her payback.
It was also the spark to a Sox rally. The next four batters after Betts hit safely, highlighted by a two-run homer from rookie Rafael Devers that gave Boston a 4-3 lead. Nancy showed off her ball to folks around us, and then tucked in between her legs for safekeeping. Perhaps, I wondered, my near-treasure was meant to be hers -- and meant to be a talisman.
The Price was right for four shutout innings.
The redemptive David Price kept the Astros at bay over the next four innings, but Boston could not add to its one-run lead. A tenseness hung over Fenway, which in our row nearly became a panic after Nancy left to make a concessions run. Her husband Glenn suddenly jumped up, wild-eyed, and began running up and down the aisle peering into each of the five rows ahead of us.
"What's wrong, did you lose your keys?" I asked.
"No!" he yelled. "I lost the ball!"
Thankfully the beer-soaked sphere was retrieved, dried, and placed snugly into a cup holder by the time Nancy got back.
When she heard about the near calamity she gave Curly a stern but loving look, happy that The Baseball Gods had saved her keepsake. Soon thereafter, the Red Sox batted around in a six-run seventh that put the game out of reach. Betts singled and scored during the outburst, and then added a few more web gems for good measure -- giving him seven putouts overall and the home team a newfound momentum going into Game Four.
Nancy, Glenn, the ball, and the wrist purse.
Rachel and I exited Fenway on high adrenaline, our perfect day at the ballpark completed, when suddenly a shock came over me not unlike that which had befallen Nancy's husband a few hours before. My keys -- including the pricey remote entry fobs for BOTH our family cars -- were gone. My TILE app (thanks for the Father's Day gift, Michelle) alerted me that they were "in Fenway Park," but we couldn't find them despite a law-breaking sprint back into the park and to our seats.
I would have to wait until Monday morning to call Fenway's Lost and Found, but at least -- thanks to Mookie -- Jason and I would be doing so on a game day.

Kumar reviews functioning of GMC Srinagar, Associated Hospitals
By Precious Kashmir on 30/11/2018 Comments Off on Kumar reviews functioning of GMC Srinagar, Associated Hospitals
Govt hospitals provide 95% healthcare facilities in Kashmir: Principal GMC
Srinagar, Nov 30: Advisor to Governor, K Vijay Kumar on Thursday chaired a meeting to review the functioning of Government Medical College (GMC), Srinagar and its associated hospitals and also took suggestions from HoDs for the betterment of healthcare facility in the Valley.
The meeting was attended by Principal Secretary, Health and Medical Education, Atal Dulloo, Principal GMC Srinagar, Dr Samia Rashid, Registrar Academics, GMC Srinagar, administrators of associated hospitals Srinagar, Medical Superintendents of associated hospitals, officials from JKMSCL, JKPCC, R&B and other concerned officers.
During the meeting Dr Samia gave a detailed power point presentation about the functioning of the GMC and its associated hospitals. She informed the Advisor that 95% of the health care facilities in the Valley are provided by the government run hospitals and it needs to be given the special attention. She also informed the Advisor about the paucity of manpower including doctors and trained paramedics. The need for the creation of posts and the up gradation of various posts also came in the discussion.
Advisor Kumar also listened to the issues for various HoDs and asked for their suggestions to overcome such issues in order to provide better health care to the people of Kashmir. On the occasion, the HoDs were directed to prepare the list of doables that can be executed in the next six months.
While directing JKPCC and R&B to complete all the ongoing construction works in a stipulated timeframe, Advisor Kumar assured that he will personally look into the issues that lead to the delay in execution of various projects.
With regards to the medical equipments damaged in 2014 floods, Advisor Kumar directed to call experts from AIIMS who can help and advice in the tendering out of these machines.
Advisor Kumar appreciated the work of the doctors in Kashmir who worked tirelessly during the turbulent times and said that they are doing the wonderful human work through their profession.

Modern cloth diapers come in a host of shapes, including preformed cloth diapers, all-in-one diapers with waterproof exteriors, fitted diaper with covers and pocket or "stuffable" diapers, which consist of a water-resistant outer shell sewn with an opening for insertion of absorbent material inserts.[22] Many design features of modern cloth diapers have followed directly from innovations initially developed in disposable diapers, such as the use of the hour glass shape, materials to separate moisture from skin and the use of double gussets, or an inner elastic band for better fit and containment of waste material.[21] Several cloth diaper brands use variations of Procter & Gamble's original 1973 patent use of a double gusset in Pampers.[13]
Most hospitals will not give diaper bags anymore. I just had my little girl 3 weeks ago and nothing and my Sil just had her baby in California and didn’t get one. I did call.similac and enfamil because my daughter has been throwing up alot and they’re both sending me diaper bags and.separate formula samples for upset tummies. It’s best to call them and ask for the Diaper bags.especially if your hospital does not participate because they’re baby friendly breast feeding hospitals.a
But honestly, cloth diapers, as I mentioned earlier, have the most robust free diaper programs and they're the easiest to access. Groups like Giving Diapers, Giving Hope and The Rebecca Foundation's Cloth Diaper Closet offer free cloth diapers to those in need. Alternatively, you can get free or very cheap cloth diapers from online forums like Diaper Swappers that specialize in recycled (highly laundered) cloth diapers. Change-Diapers.com is a great resource with a link every Friday for cloth diaper giveaways they've found online, too.
"We're passionate about helping all babies thrive, especially the smallest and most fragile. This Huggies diaper reflects our ongoing commitment to deliver innovative solutions for the NICU," said Eleonora Daireaux, Vice President, Huggies North America. "After hearing of the need for a diaper that meets the special requirements of these babies, our expert teams in skin science, research, product safety and manufacturing were inspired. Knowing every second counts for these babies, the team acted quickly to bring Huggies Little Snugglers Nano Preemie Diapers from concept to launch in hospitals in just six months."
Pampers Diapers and Huggies have a rewards program. They have unique one time use codes found inside the packages of diapers and some wipes. Save those and enter them on their websites (after making an account-when you sign up for pampers you will get 100 pts) When you have a certain amount of points, you can cash in for Free rewards. There are a ton of different items, and they change them too. When I reached 1,000 points I cashed out for a Dora Potty Seat for my youngest! Yay!
In 1956, P&G researcher Victor Mills disliked changing the cloth diapers of his newborn grandchild. So he assigned fellow researchers in P&G's Exploratory Division in Miami Valley, Ohio to look into making a better disposable diaper. Pampers were introduced in 1961. They were created by researchers at P&G including Vic Mills and Norma Lueders Baker. The name "Pampers" was coined by Alfred Goldman, Creative Director at Benton & Bowles, the first ad agency for the account.
There are variations in the care of cloth diapers that can account for different measures of environmental impact. For example, using a cloth diaper laundering service involves additional pollution from the vehicle that picks up and drops off deliveries. Yet such a service uses less water per diaper in the laundering process.[51] Some people who launder cloth diapers at home wash each load twice, considering the first wash a "prewash", and thus doubling the energy and water usage from laundering. Cloth diapers are most commonly made of cotton, which is generally considered an environmentally wasteful crop to grow. "Conventional cotton is one of the most chemically-dependent crops, sucking up 10% of all agricultural chemicals and 25% of insecticides on 3% of our arable land; that's more than any other crop per unit."[52] This effect can be mitigated by using other materials, such as bamboo and hemp.[53]
Cuties Wipes are made with the same high quality materials as Cuties Diapers — Aloe, Vitamin E and Chamomile. These hypoallergenic wipes are soft on baby’s skin, yet durable enough to clean up tough messes. Cuties Wipes Tri-Form fabric has two soft outer layers and one strong inner layer to prevent the wipe from tearing. Soft pack wipes can be easily opened with a push of the finger to ensure that clean-up is sanitary.
Basically these are the best diapers around. You look at them and think, “what is that mesh layer for?” Then one night, around 3 am, you discuss with your husband sending gifts to the makers of Pampers, specifically the engineers and designers who made said mesh layer. You have enough to think about as a new parent. Just buys these diapers would ya?
I called gerber today and they don’t send out the bags or do the nutrition kits. I called inquiring explaining I’m doing a home birth so instead there gonna send a pregnancy kit but that’s it. Enfamil is making the exception to send me the diaper bag they do for the hospitals since I’m having a home birth. Still have to call similac their closed so have to wait til Monday.
We have tried almost all other brands including, Target, Luvs and Huggies. Although usually more expensive, Pampers by far have done a better job with diaper rash. We change diapers probably more than usual (approx.) 12-15/day. That said, the other than Pampers diapers left red rashes on bottom. Some of the rashes looked like open wounds. On a hunch, I believed it was from the specific diapers. Sure enough, the Pampers and the mesh lining did away with the rash. I did apply cream to alleviate rash but I usually don't have to use if baby is in Pampers swaddlers. It's true that you get what you pay ft
Cindy – the formula companies do change their freebie offers from time-to-time. I received a free diaper bag from Enfamil with a cooler pack, 2 free cans of formula, and other baby samples. Similac & Gerber both sent me cans of formula and coupons but not in an actual diaper bag. Some of our visitors have received the free diaper bags at the hospital when they delivered their baby. However, not all hospitals participate.
Diapers have been worn throughout human history. They are made of cloth or synthetic disposable materials. Cloth diapers are composed of layers of fabric such as cotton, hemp, bamboo, microfiber, or even plastic fibers such as PLA, and can be washed and reused multiple times. Disposable diapers contain absorbent chemicals and are thrown away after use. Plastic pants can be worn over diapers to avoid leaks, but with modern cloth diapers, this is no longer necessary.[citation needed]
Other common features of disposable diapers include one or more pairs of either adhesive or mechanical fastening tapes to keep the diaper securely fastened. Some diapers have tapes which are refastenable to allow adjusting of fit or reapplication after inspection. Elasticized fabric single and double gussets around the leg and waist areas aid in fitting and in containing urine or stool which has not been absorbed. Some diapers lines now commonly include wetness indicators, in which a chemical included in the fabric of the diaper changes color in the presence of moisture to alert the carer or user that the diaper is wet.[20] A disposable diaper may also include an inner fabric designed to hold moisture against the skin for a brief period before absorption to alert a toilet training or bedwetting user that they have urinated. Most materials in the diaper are held together with the use of a hot-melt adhesive, which is applied in spray form or multi lines, an elastic hot melt is also used to help with pad integrity when the diaper is wet.
HUGGIES Size Two Snug & Dry Diapers give your baby great protection at a great value. Four layers of protection absorb moisture quickly to help stop leaks for up to 12 hours, and a quilted liner helps to keep your baby dry and comfortable. Plus, Snug & Dry disposable baby diapers have a wetness indicator stripe on the outside that changes from yellow to blue when wet, which helps take the guesswork out of diaper changes. Featuring fun Disney Mickey Mouse designs, Snug & Dry Diapers are available in sizes Newborn (up to 10 lb.), 1 (8-14 lb.), 2 (12-18 lb.), 3 (16-28 lb.), 4 (22-37 lb.), 5 (27+ lb.) and 6 (35+ lb.). Join HUGGIES Rewards to earn points on every pack of HUGGIES diapers and wipes you buy.
My baby girl is allergic to every other diaper out there all we can use is pampers everything about the Daimler’s is great but I personally thought the fitting size was off my baby was breach and born via c section at 37 weeks she was only 7lbs 11oz and within one week of being home with weight lost mind you she weight 7lbs 2oz when we left the hospital and three days later went to first pediatrician appointment weighed 7lbs 5 oz her legs were getting cut up by the diapers!!! As soon as I saw this I immediately sent my husband to the store for size one and she was so small and the size 1 was so big she 2 1/2 months now and is 9lbs 13oz and she still fits in them. Overall the diapers are great everything about them but the fitting for new born sizes even my pediatrician said that she still should have fit in them she fir just right in the new born sized diapers they were just right fit not to big not to small and they cut her legs up so when we switched to size 1 she was so small in them she was swimming in the diaper.
The only thing you get is some coupons and sample packs of infant formula from enfamil. Oh, and a bunch of spam emails from the companies they sell your email address too. Not worth the hundreds of questions you have to answer and other offers you have to sign up for. Your hospital will give you a bag with a can of formula and sometimes coupons from some companies they use (Johnson and Johnson) and that’s about it. When I had my daughter in December all I got was a bag and my nurses were wonderful and gave us extra diapers, wipes, wash and lotion but it came from the hospitals stash and nothing that Gerber gives to them to give each new mom like they did in 20012 and 2005 when I had my other kids.
Other help may also be arranged. Some manufacturers issue coupons that parents can use to shop, or they give vouchers to pay for the diapers. The national companies may also coordinate fund raisers and partner with other regional businesses to help low income parents. Or they may provide surplus items to the diaper banks and non-profits that are listed below.

Been with ESPN.com since 1995
NEW YORK -- John Henry, the principal owner of the Boston Red Sox, stood inside the visiting clubhouse at Yankee Stadium late Tuesday night, answering questions from a group of reporters as the victory celebration blared in the background.
A year ago, Henry and president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski made the decision to fire a successful manager, John Farrell, who still had a year remaining on his contract. Farrell had won a World Series in 2013 and back-to-back division titles in 2016 and 2017, but after consecutive defeats in the division series, Henry and Dombrowski looked outside the organization for a new manager.
MLB Postseason on ESPN Radio
From the first pitch of every series to the last out of Game 7, you can catch the entire MLB postseason on ESPN Radio. Listen »
They settled on Alex Cora, a former ESPN analyst who had spent 2017 as A.J. Hinch's bench coach for the World Series champion Houston Astros. He would be good with the media, would more easily identify with Boston's young players as he had played in the majors as recently as 2011 and would bring some of the Astros' analytic bent to the Red Sox's game preparation.
After the Red Sox eliminated the New York Yankees in four games, the soft-spoken Henry assessed Cora's performance thusly: "He was a magician."
Indeed, while Yankees rookie manager Aaron Boone received heavy criticism for waiting too long to pull Luis Severino in Game 3 and CC Sabathia in Game 4, every button Cora pushed in the series was the right one. Consider:
-- He brought in Rick Porcello in relief in the eighth inning of Game 1, and Porcello retired Miguel Andujar and Gary Sanchez.
-- He started Brock Holt in Game 3, and Holt became the first player in postseason history to hit for the cycle.
-- He reinserted Ian Kinsler for Holt in Game 4, and Kinsler doubled in a run with a rocket in the third inning and scored the third run of the rally on a single by Eduardo Nunez as the Red Sox took a 3-0 lead. Nunez himself was back in the lineup for Rafael Devers, who had two hits and two runs in Game 3.
-- He started Christian Vazquez in Game 4 to catch Porcello for the first time all year, and not only did Porcello throw five strong innings, Vázquez hit his first home run since June 26.
-- His bullpen moves worked to perfection in Game 4 as he pulled Porcello even though he had allowed just one run in five innings, and Matt Barnes, Ryan Brasier and then Chris Sale each threw a perfect inning (although closer Craig Kimbrel nearly self-destructed the game away all by himself in the ninth).
Managers get too much blame for October defeats -- Boone may be justifiably criticized, but it wasn't his fault the Yankees went without a home run in two games at home or that his starting pitchers were awful in three of the four games. Maybe managers get too much credit as well. After all, the moves only looked good because the players performed.
In retrospect, the decision to use Porcello in Game 1 was huge. The bullpen was struggling as Brasier, Brandon Workman and Barnes had combined to allow three hits and three walks while recording just five outs. With Steven Wright injured, Cora used Porcello to bridge the gap to Kimbrel. He then used Sale in a similar fashion in Game 4.
"It's a win-now mentality and that's what it took and we were able to get it done," Jackie Bradley Jr. said amid the celebration.

Barnes praised Cora after the series clincher.
"We're very fortunate to have in A.C. [someone] who is not very far removed from playing the game, which definitely helps," he said. "It seemed like every button he's pushing is the right one. I think he's got a great feel for the game. He understands the game. He does a great job of managing and communicating with everybody on what's going on, and I think it showed in this series."
Sale even told the story that when he walked into the clubhouse before Game 4, he told Cora he wanted the ball at some point in the game.
"I told him and walked away and he started laughing, so I didn't know if that was a good or a bad thing, but it worked out," Sale said.
Cora was laughing -- but he was listening too.
Cora also influenced the team's off-field groundwork in three significant ways. He brought the advanced scouting department completely in-house, relying on video scouts and analysts. He shifted responsibility for defensive alignments from the coaching staff to the analytics department. He emphasized keeping players fresh -- not just down the stretch after the Red Sox had built a big lead in the AL East, but even going back to the first road trip of the season.
OK, so all that came together against the Yankees. What will be Cora's key decisions against the Astros? A few to consider:
1. Who starts Games 1 and 2?
Cora announced Wednesday afternoon that Sale will get Game 1 and David Price will start Game 2. Sale will be working on three days of rest after his 13-pitch outing against the Yankees, but he said after the game that he would have been ready for Game 5, so Saturday shouldn't be an issue.

Price is a different matter, given his poor performance in Game 2 against the Yankees and his spotty postseason history. Cora could have gone with Nathan Eovaldi and pushed Price back to Game 3 or even Game 4. A few things to consider:
-- Price was better at home than on the road this year, with a 2.98 ERA compared to 4.31 (although one-year home/road splits are always noisy). Starting Price in Game 2 would likely set him up to pitch Game 6 at Fenway, avoiding a start at Minute Maid Park (but forcing Price to deal with a potentially hostile home crowd if he gets into early trouble).
-- The Astros, with their righty-heavy lineup, crushed lefties, with the highest OPS in the majors against southpaws. But Cora will use his two lefties -- Sale and Price -- at Fenway, which could help a bit.
-- If the rotation goes Sale-Price-Eovaldi-Porcello, that leaves Porcello as a potential relief option in Game 1 or maybe Game 2.
2. How will Cora manage the bullpen?
One thing Cora has talked about is maintaining the willingness to adjust on the fly throughout the series and go to Plan B or Plan C. He learned from Hinch last postseason, who quickly abandoned Ken Giles and used starters in relief throughout the postseason.
Cora is not going to bail on Kimbrel, even though he allowed runs in both his outings. Still, Cora's initial plan, based on Game 1, was to use Kimbrel for more than three outs. We'll see if that remains the plan against the Astros.
As for the rest of the bullpen, it's about finding the hot hand. It helps that all those power relievers -- Barnes, Brasier, Kimbrel, Joe Kelly -- will face that predominantly right-handed lineup. The roles also will depend on where the Astros are in the lineup. In Game 4, Cora used Barnes against the middle of the Yankees' order in the sixth and Brasier against the bottom of the order in the seventh.
3. Who starts in the infield?
This could be a straight platoon, with Brock Holt and Rafael Devers playing against Houston's right-handed starters and Nunez and Kinsler starting against Dallas Keuchel. Or maybe Cora mixes and matches a little (Nunez and Kinsler are the better defenders, not that Nunez is a big plus at third, his final play in Game 4 notwithstanding).
I suspect we could see a lot of Holt in the series. Against pitches of 95-plus mph from right-handers this season, Holt hit .350/.386/.650 (granted, in just 44 plate appearances). Kinsler hit .207/.288/.276 in those situations. Kinsler versus Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole doesn't feel like a good matchup.
4. Who catches?
Sandy Leon (.511 OPS) and Vazquez (.540 OPS) were both terrible at the plate in the regular season. Leon, however, hit just .095 in the second half (11-for-116). Cora went with Vazquez as the surprise starter in Game 4 and he may get the bulk of the duties moving forward.
5. Quick hooks?
Nothing stirs more arguments about a manager's performance in October than when he pulls the starter. We know the hooks are getting quicker and quicker, and removing Porcello after just 65 pitches in Game 4 was a sign that Cora isn't afraid to pull a starter a batter too early rather than two batters too late.

Broderick herself never denied firing the fatal shots, although she always insisted she did not remember pulling the trigger. She contended the emotional and psychological abuse that she endured during sixteen years of marriage and four years of divorce from Dan Broderick had turned her into “an electrified crazy person” and drove her to desperate, violent actions. Betty’s defense attorney, Jack Earley, argued that her crime was manslaughter, not murder; the distinction could mean the difference between life in prison without parole and a sentence of fifteen years.
Betty recalled them for the jury: “A dating relationship is very different from marriage. During dating, I had my own money, my own car. I lived with my parents, but I had some freedom. Afterward, he was in charge of everything. ” The shining dream of love and marriage was already turning murky. In a matter of weeks Betty was talking about getting a divorce. Dan Broderick, too, soon wanted out. ” In 1988 Dan Broderick also mentioned the early problems in his marriage when he talked to reporters for the San Diego Reader, a weekly paper.
She remembered that her mother would lock her husband out when she was angry, and Dan Broderick would come to his eldest daughter’s window and whisper for her to open the door for him. Dan also had a temper. He “hated” dogs, according to his daughter Lee, and at least once is reported to have kicked the family pet. He “would break things that would frustrate him,” like the lawn mower. At other times he broke an aquarium and ripped a door off its hinge. Betty remembered that he threw one door out of a window in a rage.

Robot Week
This week we had a lot of fun teaching the kids about robots. We invited along a special guest, Alexander Enoch. Alexander is a robotics expert who has recently set up a company which designs and makes programmable robots for kids. He gave us all a fascinating talk about the field of robotics and introduced us to his latest creation - a walking robot called Marty. We set up a number of robot demonstrations for the kids to experiment with and showed them how easy it can be to make these robots do some really cool things using just a little bit of code.
No doubt the kids have been telling you all about it. You might be left wondering whether they are exaggerating a little when they tell you that they saw a pair of robots playing football (they're not). Anyway, we thought it might be good to provide everyone with a brief run down of everything that we demonstrated, so you have a clearer picture of what the kids got up to. All of the robots we demonstrated on the night are equally suitable for the big kids in some of us too!
Marty is a fully programmable, WiFi enabled walking robot. Marty makes learning about programming, electronics, and mechanical engineering a fun and engaging process. He is designed to be customisable with 3D printed parts, and is also completely upgradeable. He is even compatible with the Raspberry Pi. Oh... and did we say that he's REALLY cute?
The makers of Marty gave the kids a demonstration of two Martys playing football and also invited them to try their hand at writing some Scratch code to control a Marty.
Availability: Currently taking pre-orders via crowd-funding (IndieGoGo). Expected to be available to ship in March 2017.
Pre-order Marty
Ohbot
Ohbot is a robotic talking head that can be built and programmed by children aged 7 and up. He has seven motors that enable him to simulate a range of human-like behaviours such as smiling, frowning, talking and blinking. He is programmed using a block programming environment which is very similar to Scratch.
Mackenzie (P7A) gave the kids a brief tour of Ohbot, showcasing the range of movements that he can make using just a little bit of code. The kids were then invited to try their hand at controlling Ohbot's head movements by tilting a BBC Micro:Bit and enhance this demo by writing their own code to attach a behaviour (such as blinking) to a button press on the Micro:Bit.
The makers of Ohbot are planning to launch an Ohbot named 'Peaky' into near space from a primary school playground in January. This Ohbot will be programmed to react to the conditions during the flight, with chattering teeth and fears for its safety, the condition of its batteries and an address to humans on Earth all scripted by children. You can follow the progress of the Ohbot in Space project on the maker's website.
Price: £120 (kit), £150 (pre-built)
Available to order via the maker's website

Wink & Ringo
Ringo is a super cute pet robot bug packed with goodies including an accelerometer, gyroscope, light sensors, 6 awesome RGB LEDs which you can light up any colour of the rainbow, musical chirper, and more. Everything you need to bring to life a real personality in a digital pet of your own.
Designed and built by a small family-run business in Portland, Oregon. Ringo grew out of a project intended to build just one robot for the maker's kids. However, he soon realised something much greater could be done in producing Ringo for the masses. After the success of releasing Ringo on Kickstarter, he decided to build something smaller and cheaper, and thus Wink was born.
We gave the kids a brief tour of what Wink and Ringo can do, explaining how onboard components such as the accelerometer gyroscope & light sensors can be used to great effect in creating interesting bug-like behaviours (see the demo video below for some really cool examples). We then demonstrated how easy it was to change the behaviour attached to a given button on the remote control by tweaking the example code and uploading it to the bug's memory.
Price: $US70 (Wink), $US100 (Ringo)
Available to order via the maker's US website - you may have to account for shipping fees, VAT and import duties when ordering from the US.

Inspired Faith, Effective ActionMulticultural Growth & Witness at the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations
Some Background on UUA Immigration Campaign & Relationship with Puente and NDLON
Audra Friend
Immigration Justice
Arizona, AZ, NDLON, Puente
By Susan Leslie, UUA Congregational Advocacy & Witness Director
UUA Immigration Reform Campaign and Our Partners
The UUA’s current immigration reform campaign really took off in 2007, in response to the immigrant rights upsurge in 2006, when we signed on as the first denomination to join the New Sanctuary Movement (NSM). The New Sanctuary Movement was initiated by the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) and then taken up by Interfaith Worker Justice (whose board I serve on for the UUA) and others. The UU Church of Long Beach CA was the first congregation to join the New Sanctuary Movement and did so before the UUA. The UU Church of Phoenix Social Action Committee signed the NSM pledge a year later after Puente participated in their May 3, 2008 worship service and led a workshop. UUCP’s partnership with Puente has since grown and flourished.
Today the United Church of Christ, the United Methodists, the Disciples, and hundreds of congregations from several denominations are working with NSM and a joint effort is underway with NDLON and others to organize a White House Summit on immigration to advocate for an executive order suspending state and local enforcement of federal immigration law, a moratorium on ICE (Immigrant Custom Enforcement) raids that separate families and deport students, and immigration reform.
In addition to working with other on-the-ground partners, including Immigration Equality, the UUA has been represented by our Washington Office in the Interfaith Immigration Coalition, advocating for the DREAM Act, the Child Citizen Protection Act, and immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship, family unification, and humane enforcement at the border. On June 10th UUA staff attended a Congressional hearing on the impact of SB1070 on women and children that was organized by NDLON, Puente, and the Domestic Workers Alliance.
Congregational Engagement & Standing on the Side of Love
In the past four years we have seen the number of UU congregations engaged with this issue increase steadily. Advocacy & Witness has a database of over 200 UU congregations engaged in education, advocacy, and organizing. (We haven’t documented all those providing ESL classes and others services yet.) Additionally, there are 130 UU congregations in congregation-based community organizations. Almost all of these organizations include immigrant communities and their national networks–PICO, IAF, Gamaliel, IVP–are focusing on immigration reform.
The Standing on the Side of Love Campaign has had as a major focus standing on the side of love with immigrant families. UU ministers and leaders have sent in blogs and news coverage of their efforts, and 5,000 cards calling for immigration reform were delivered to Congress in April. UUs have helped Haitian refugees apply for Temporary Protected Status, worked to free Jean Montrevil–a Haitian leader who was almost deported, welcomed the Trail of Dreams walkers, and came in the hundreds to the Capitol on March 21st with thousands of immigrants marching for justice. The UU Church of Tucson is this year’s UUA Social Justice Award winner for their No More Deaths border ministry and advocacy with the Arizona Advocacy Network. Last year’s recipient was the UU Church of Phoenix for their work with Puente and NDLON to stop Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
UUA Public Witness for Immigration Reform & the Morales Administration
UUA President Rev. Peter Morales has made immigration reform a top UUA public witness priority. He and Moderator Gini Courter arranged for the Board of Trustees to meet with undocumented immigrants, community organizers, and the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund (MALDEF) at their January 2010 meeting in San Antonio. President Morales visited several Senate Offices on Capitol Hill this spring to advocate for Rep. Luis Gutierrez’s CIR ASAP legislation. He has reached out to Latino evangelicals to join forces.
When SB1070 was passed and the Boycott Arizona movement began, the UUA Board drafted a resolution recommending that the General Assembly scheduled for Phoenix in 2012 be relocated. DRUUMM, LUUNA, and ARE supported their recommendation Moderator Gini Courter put out a call, along with Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray, Minister, UU Church of Phoenix, for UUs to join the May 29th march in Phoenix organized by Alto Arizona (two of the main organizers of Alto Arizona are Puente and NDLON). Rev. Morales, Moderator Courter, fifty UU clergy, and 500 UUs were there. Lots of conversations were carried on along the march, in the speakers’ staging area, and with UUCP and their partners.
How the idea of transforming GA to witness in Phoenix 2012 came about:
Following the march, Puente and NDLON, part of Somos America–the coalition leading this new civil rights movement in Arizona and nationally– asked the UUA and Standing on the Side of Love to endorse and organize for the July 29th Day of Non-Compliance in Arizona and Human Rights Summer. We have and are! They asked us to support the Boycott Arizona Movement and we do. (See Boycott Arizona for actions and targets.) They asked us to call on President Obama to issue an executive order and we have. And they asked us to come to Phoenix in 2012 and transform our General Assembly into a convergence for human rights so that we are part of supporting the movement, not breaking the boycott, and coming in to work with them for justice. They envision an interfaith service on the capitol steps, UU lawyers and paralegals at legal clinics, UU teams registering voters, visits to the barrios, tours to the border, Arizona clergy delegations to representatives, education and worship on immigrant rights, civil disobedience, and more. They see transforming GA as a great opportunity to involve more UUs and other people of faith in organizing for immigrant rights and justice.

May ALL UUs see the way clearly to be “Standing on the Side of Love” in AZ at GA 2012. Thank you Rev Morales for your insightful leadership. Thank you UUA for being part of a national movement for social justice realized where we have PEACE with our declared moral justice principles. Blessed Be, Barbara Bissell-Erway, Rochester, New York

When I started seeing movie posters for The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, I was curious but apprehensive. Watching the movie, I was pleasantly surprised.
Unlike the 1993 film featuring ballet student and Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin, the movie is not merely a recording of a stage performance of the ballet, nor is it a musical, nor does it follow the “story” of the ballet. It’s a through-the-looking glass version, a mirror image, or echo of the story in the ballet. The film includes a bit of ballet and some of the musical themes, but mostly it is a beautiful, original, inspiring fantasy.
The sets, CGI, and costumes are impressive, but the strength of the movie is the theme it expresses: how to deal with the loss of a loved one. There are healthy ways and unhealthy ways, both demonstrated dramatically.
Other solid, admirable themes are family togetherness, friendship and loyalty, creativity and curiosity, bravery, compassion and forgiveness, choice, and belief in one’s self.
With so much for the protagonist to learn on her adventure, I don’t see how detractors can call the movie ‘soulless’. Did we even watch the same movie? Whatever their reasons, critics and audiences don’t seem to like this movie nearly as much as I did, saying it’s as clunky as that ambitious 2018 flop, A Wrinkle in Time. That’s not fair at all. Four Realms is miles better than A Wrinkle in Time.
Maybe the detractors don’t award as many points for theme as they do for how subtly those themes are expressed. Some hoped for more ballet, others hoped for more music. Some wanted it to be scarier, others wanted it less scary. Maybe they all simply had higher expectations. Maybe nobody quite knew what to expect at all. I agree the film could have been better, but I think it was actually pretty decent. This review at Empire Online agrees with me.
See below for a plot summary with SPOILERS in the form of a beat sheet in the style described in Blake Snyder’s Save the Cat.
My beat sheet plot summary for The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
Opening Image
An owl is flying over Victorian London at Christmastime. He tries to catch a mouse, but the mouse darts inside the window of the attic where Clara is demonstrating and explaining a Rube Goldberg mouse trap to her younger brother. The machine catches the mouse, but the arrival of a servant upsets the trap and the mouse escapes.
Clara’s mother has died and Clara feels it keenly. Her older sister and younger brother are holding up okay, and her father only seems interested in keeping up appearances.
Catalyst / Theme Stated
Clara’s father gives her the Christmas Eve gift her mother wanted her to have: an egg sealed with a pin tumbler lock that can only be opened with a key, and a note that says “Everything you need is inside.”
Clara’s father insists she at least pretend to celebrate Christmas at the party they are expected to attend at her godfather’s mansion. Clara agrees to go so that she can see whether her godfather knows where she can find the key. He loves Clara and appreciates her brilliant mind. He seems to know something about the secret of the egg. He tells his owl to watch over Clara. Clara refuses to dance with her father, rudely implying that he is being selfish.
Break into Two
The children at the party receive their gifts by following labelled, colored strings around the mansion. Clara’s string takes her to a deserted passageway. In a moment reminiscent of Lucy’s entry into Narnia, Clara emerges into a snowy forest. She sees the key she is seeking hanging on a Christmas tree. Before she can grasp it, a mouse snatches it and runs away. She chases the mouse to the edge of a frozen river, but dares not try to cross the thin ice. The nutcracker soldier who guards the nearby bridge tells her it is forbidden to cross the bridge into the dangerous Fourth Realm without a royal order. Learning the name of the queen, Clara and the soldier realize Clara is a princess. The soldier agrees to let Clara cross. He asks her to call him “Captain” and vows to accompany and protect her.
B-story / Fun and Games
Clara and the Captain chase the mouse, but Clara gets attacked by a swarm of mice in the form of a giant mouse king. The Captain manages to free her. After nearly encountering the giant tent robot of the fearsome ex-regent Mother Ginger, the two escape to the fantastic Russian-looking castle at the center of the four realms, where Clara meets the other three regents and tells them of her mother’s death. One of the regents, Sugar Plum, befriends Clara, dresses her up, and accompanies her to a ballet that explains the story of the queen and the four realms: the realm of snowflakes, the realm of flowers, the realm of sweets, and the now-forbidden realm of amusements. Sugar Plum shows Clara a machine that the queen used to bring life to snowflakes, flowers, sweets and toys, and explains that the machine is needed to make an army to fight the ambitious Mother Ginger. However, it cannot work without a certain key.
Clara doesn’t have the key, but the keyhole matches the keyhole in the egg she carries. Clara leads an expedition of soldiers to the Fourth Realm to retrieve the lost key. The soldiers get swallowed up by holes in the ground. Clara stumbles into Mother Ginger’s giant tent robot where she is menaced by creepy clown creatures that split in half and fit inside one another like Russian dolls. Higher in the tent, Clara confronts Mother Ginger and impulsively snatches the key from her without waiting to hear what she has to say about its dangers. She escapes with the Captain and pauses to open the egg before returning to the castle. Inside the egg, she finds only a music box. Why had her mother said she needed such a frivolous thing? Maybe she should just go home.
Bad Guys Close In / All Is Lost
After the Captain reassures Clara that she is needed in the Four Realms, Clara takes the key to Sugar Plum, who uses it to activate the life-giving machine. The soldiers who come to life follow only Sugar Plum’s orders. Sugar Plum says she plans to attack Mother Ginger, claiming that the best defense is a good offense. Clara objects, but Sugar Plum doesn’t care. She’s hurt that Clara’s mother abandoned the four realms, abandoned her. Now, with an army of strong, obedient, uniformed tin men to protect her, she believes she can never be hurt again. She orders her soldiers to lock Clara, the Captain, and the other two regents in the tallest castle tower, and to imprison the other soldiers in the dungeon.
Clara despairs. She realizes that Mother Ginger had never done anything wrong; Sugar Plum only said she had. Clara was foolish for believing her. Now the whole kingdom will go to ruin. Clara, angry with herself, lashes out and blames the Captain for convincing her to return to the castle with the key.
Break into Three
Clara realizes the egg music box also contains a mirror. Her mother’s message meant that everything Clara needed was within herself. Filled with fresh confidence, Clara apologizes to the Captain and asks to be forgiven. She and the Captain escape the frighteningly tall tower using a rope and Clara’s knowledge of physics. They join forces with one of the mice, who leads them to a cliff where Clara can sneak into the machine room. The Captain and the mouse go off to scheme with Mother Ginger.
Mother Ginger’s Russian dolls, the giant tent robot, and the Captain distract Sugar Plum and her soldiers while Clara sneaks around in the machine room, shutting of the machine’s waterwheel power source and fiddling with the settings. Mother Ginger arrives on the scene to assist Clara. Sugar Plum isn’t fooled for long, however, and flies back to the machine room in the castle. She captures Mother Ginger and threatens to turn her into a toy by using the machine backwards. Clara begs her to stop fighting and assures her that she is not alone, that things can go back to how they were. Sugar Plum refuses, not realizing that the machine is now pointed at her. When Sugar Plum angrily activates the machine, it turns her into a toy, instantly deactivating all the attacking tin soldiers.
After the Four Realms celebrate the end of hostilities, the Captain escorts Clara back to the toppled tree so she can return to the Christmas party, where all along, time has been moving much more slowly than in the Four Realms. Out in a gazebo in the snowy garden, Clara has a talk with her father, who clearly misses his wife as much as Clara misses her mother. They agree to remember her fondly but also to enjoy their future together as a family. The two dance to the music of the music box, which plays the tune Clara’s mother and father first danced to. They are joined by Clara’s brother and sister, and seen by the godfather’s owl as he flies off into the night.

More nutcracker music with ballet, plus some modern dance!
Further thoughts on The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
If you’re a grown up, maybe you can see the “Look inside yourself” message coming a mile away. That doesn’t make it less meaningful. Everyone suffers from self-doubt (or “imposter syndrome”), and often we don’t feel as though we really belong.
Maybe you think the three regents, the two useless minor characters and the secret villain, are over-acting. Okay, maybe. But I like Sugar Plum’s about face. She’s powerful, but she’s also angry and hurt. Her petulance is no more of an artistic exaggeration than any political cartoon.
What I think I liked least was the scene with the creepy clowns. The clowns were fascinating, though. I kept trying to figure out how on earth they filmed them. Their bouncing and splitting is not just super weird, it’s lightning fast. Those antics are impossible without a lot of editing.
I liked the nod to Fantasia. One of the musical bits showed silhouettes of musicians as in the 1940 film.
The story of Four Realms is quite different from the story of the original Nutcracker.
A few times as a child, my great aunt took me to watch the Nutcracker ballet performed live. What I remember is that there’s a girl who, on the night of Christmas Eve, is transported into a magical realm where she watches a variety of fanciful dances, including a woman with a huge skirt that conceals people beneath it. The nutcracker soldier protects her from a menacing rat king. There’s a man with an eye patch. There’s a clock, whose chiming is perhaps what sends the girl off and brings her back.
The choice to feature mice instead of rats signaled from the very beginning that the story was going to be different. Rats are bad; mice, surely, are going to help the good guys in the end. So who’s the villain? Not the woman set up as the villain: the creepy doll with the broken face and the crazy clowns. No, the villain is someone you think is a friend.
The villain is not evil for no reason, though: she’s been hurt. However, when she’s given a chance to halt the war, she chooses to reject the friendship and forgiveness that are offered out of genuine, sincere compassion. We feel relief when she is defeated, but we also feel sad, because she could have made a different choice—and didn’t.
More reviews of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
The ratings are terrible, but the reviews are not all bad!
The negative reviews generally say the movie is dull and boring while being visually excessive. Beyond that, they disagree on what stinks. Some say the lead actress is wooden, others say she’s the movie’s saving grace. Some dislike Sugar Plum’s squeaky weirdness, some are delighted with it. Some say the actors and ballet dancers are horribly underused, and some say their performances lend depth to the rest of the production. Some applaud the diverse casting and feminist message, and some say the result is transparently shallow and insufficient. Some love the costumes, and some hate them. Some say the CGI is grating, and some say it’s great. Go figure.
Mixed and Positive Reviews
Collider says it’s a solid, earnest, unusually creative kids’ adventure.
The Guardian says it’s sugary but still enchanting.
IGN says it’s over-the-top but still charming; also, beware clowns.
Insider says that although the plot twists are predictable, and the target audience vague, the star is credible and her sidekick the nutcracker is charming.
Variety calls it a let-down, but usefully points out that the mouse’s name is “Mouserinks”, a name the characters say but which I never understood.
Vulture has a host of complaints, but I’m not sure what the main complaint is.
Hollwood Reporter calls it charmless and dull.
Screen Daily calls it disappointing (overstuffed and underwhelming).
IndieWire calls it soulless, eye-popping dreck.
AV Club says the costumes are memorable but the rest isn’t.
Polygon faults it for trying to be a combination of several things it’s not.
Rolling Stone calls it “slow torture” for all ages because it had two directors.
Rolling Stone, I feel it should be pointed out, mistakenly says that Clara’s father insists she wear her mother’s favorite dress, which is wrong on two counts: Clara’s sister receives the dress as a gift from her mother and chooses to wear it right away (which, I grant, is kind of a strange decision).

Main Neocene
How animals from other planets can look? Would pathbreakers meet casual combinations of retractable claws, pincers and beaks, or, on the contrary, would xenomorphs differ from Earth predators only in strip patterns on skin?
Beasts of Other Worlds
Text by Igor Kraj
(article is published here in authorial version with pictures sent by author himself; the magazine version can be seen here)
- Should we design for sovereign new breeds of animals,
extremely furious and predatory, whether not so?!
Stanislav Lem “The second travel,
or the Offer of king Cruelus”.
It is simple to imagine alien monster. If it would not be desirable to strain at all, it is enough to take of something habitual, terrestrial and to increase its size for impressiveness. According the tradition spider is used for this purpose… But it is better, of course, to work hardly, having combined a creature of separate details (it is desirable to take incompatible ones) borrowed at various classes and even phyla of animals. Tentacles and superfluous pairs of legs are welcomed. If to apply some really creative decisions (not asked a question on their expediency), it will turn out very good. The Alien will appear, from the same Ridley Scott’s film.
Ice monsters
If to use a serious approach to a problem, we need to start not from xenomorph, but from the planet, whence it comes. Similar problems assume similar solutions. It is enough to recollect shark, tuna, Ichthyosaurus and dolphin, which despite of huge distinctions in origin and internal structure look approximately equally – like it is necessary to look to a predator hunting in thickness of water. It means, for occurrence of never-before-seen on the Earth, amazing our imagination and truly alien forms of life conditions are also required not less alien and original. And already at this stage science clips wings of imagination, for though the universe is boundless, the choice of conditions in it is limited.
It is simple task to “design” an animal in which metabolism the place
of water would be taken by sulfuric acid. It is enough to replace oxygen
with sulfur in DNA. But where is it possible to find a suitable planet with
acid oceans for its occurrence?
Most likely the world having the advanced biosphere will have much in common with our own one. Any alternatives appear either physically impossible or obviously adverse. And more often they are even not true “alternatives” at all. So, there is no base to doubt that life is possible in subglacial oceans of Jove satellites. It is because on the Earth it not only exists in absolute darkness at huge pressure and absence of oxygen, but also even had arisen in such conditions, as it is considered nowadays. Conditions suitable, as we again know by experience of our own planet, only for extremophilic bacteria. Thus, we already have the exhaustive information about the monsters presumably occupying gloomy abysses of Europe. In case of their invasion to the Earth the fire and laser weapon will appear completely useless. Boiling will also not help. Ultra-violet lamp and water fluorination will allow to win the war of the worlds in a test tube.
In trenches at the ocean bottom lacking light and oxygen it is possible to find only bacteria
surviving due to chemosynthesis and not numerous immigrants from areas of more favorable
conditions. But even they are only representatives of the evolutionary bottom not higher
than worms by rank.
It is necessary to search for really alien life on planets too hot or too cold for existence of water in liquid phase on them. And the fiery worlds, probably, may be rejected at once as the high temperature is the natural enemy of complex molecules. With icy celestial bodies on which oceans of liquid gases splash, not all is so hopeless.
At the temperature estimated in tens Kelvin degrees very interesting effects of cryochemical synthesis express. On the one hand, the cold slows down reactions, but on the other hand, even the compounds most unstable and non-persistent in usual conditions get an opportunity to exist. Very weak chemical connections imperceptible at room temperature build atoms in complex structures.
Certainly, a cryosynthesis-based life is very extravagant hypothesis, which plausibility the science is not capable even to estimate at the given stage. But if such opportunity is realized, it will result in rather unusual animals and the plants existing as if in different time stream. As the intensity of metabolism, after all, will be very low, the furious predator from the point of view of speed appears similar to a baobab. Also it is not necessary to speak about plants at all. Only the refined analysis will allow distinguishing them from mineral formations. Because of low rate of alternation of generations and also of slow evolution cryobionts in any case will remain primitive creatures. But thus only big and even huge size will allow them reducing to a minimum losses of energy produced in an organism.
At Triton – the satellite of Neptune – the seas of liquid nitrogen lapped about a billion years ago.
Something similar – namely, ice “Burmese forest” on Titan – is described by Stanislav Lem in the novel “Fiasco”. It is necessary to note that descent vehicle “Huygens” has not fixed the existence of impressive ice vegetation at the surface of the largest satellite of Saturn. But if to admit that life on Titan exists and has already got from methane “waters” to “land” consisting of ammonium-water ice, it is quite possible to assume that identical rounded “stones” seen on photos are cryo-plants.
The Alien World
Acid blood of Aliens is not a norm for biosphere of their native world.
Otherwise, acid spittles would be senseless as the weapon. Rather, it is
a defensive mechanism: “You will never eat me without alkali!”
If to admit that “Aliens” are not created artificially by the civilization advanced in the field of genetic engineering, and have arisen in the evolutionary way, the world which had caused this species is a terrible place. It is so not because there xenomorphs with pharyngeal jaws are found. That is because in the homeland they obviously are not at top of a food pyramid, but closer to its basis. The propensity to parasitism absolutely uncharacteristic for “bosses” and enormous breeding rate of the kind justified only in conditions of necessity of compensation of huge losses testify it conclusively.
Even larvae of Aliens – “facehuggers” and “chestbursters” – are not helpless. And queen is capable to enter fight, having discarded the ovipositor… It means there is a high probability that soldiers of xenomorph beehive can’t protect “queen” and its posterity.
The Flying World
Conditions completely “unearthly” and simultaneously favorable enough may be found also at the oxygen planets. The majority of worlds presumably suitable for life discovered at present belong to the “super-Earth” class. A planet surpassing the Earth in some times in weight and having, accordingly, strong gravitation will provide itself with high probability with an atmosphere comparable in density to Venus one. It is not too good in itself. The super-power greenhouse effect can result in overheat, and the thick gaseous envelope will absorb light, interfering with photosynthesis at the surface. But in such conditions the aerostatic way of movement beloved by sci-fi writers, every second of which populates the unknown worlds with critters floating on hydrogen bubbles, appears possible. Moreover, in “heavy” world with very dense atmosphere soaring appears an extremely productive idea, hence also attractive from the evolutionary point of view.
There are reasons to believe that at least some ammonites couldn’t dive
and represented huge (up to two meters in diameter) floats.
Among the first plants will transform to bubbles filled with methane or hydrogen; floating will allow them rising to light, that is, higher than a cloudy veil. Plants will be followed inevitably by animals, which, again, will turn to live balloons. At the “greenhouse” planet the high resistance of the medium will make unprofitable flapping flight usual in terrestrial conditions. Small wings will be required to function as rudders; the work of the propeller will be carried out by “air jet propeller” modelled on squid’s water jet device.
The representation about lifeforms inhabiting “the flying world” may be given by Earth ocean. It is so, because aerostatic and hydrostatic (using a swimming bladder) movement make the similar demands to the physical arrangement. Accordingly, the shape of air beasts may be very freakish and diverse. It will have obvious shared feature – inhabitants of an atmosphere will be much larger than inhabitants of thickness of water, because gas-filled cavities will take 90% of body volume, and only the large size will allow getting strong covers and reducing to a minimum frontal resistance at flight.
One more effective way of movement at the planet with dense atmosphere is soaring
due to force of wind. For insects and small plants such variant is even more preferable
than aerostatic floating.
Certainly, at the “super-Earth” also flightless animals will be present, inhabiting planet surface turned to the “bottom” of the air ocean. As well as for other benthic inhabitants, the basic food for them will be made of corpses of those ones which had floated up hardly above than it should, then had bursted and deflated… But there is a great chance that land at the “greenhouse” planet will be absent at all. In the world rich in gases the water will be abundant; the relief of the planet as smoother, as higher is the gravitation. Most likely, the oxygen super-Earth will become “ocean planet”.
The absence of land will cause one more kind of an environment, not like non-existent on the Earth, but not playing an appreciable role and unattractive. In oceans of our planet there is a lot of plankton – animals and plants “soaring” in thickness of water and moving due to currents. Pleuston living on the surface of water, as a rule, does not form the great mass. Pleustonic plant organisms are the closest to light (that is especially actual in the gloomy world), but if the seaweed does not “anchor” at the bottom, the wind will quickly cast it ashore.
In the case when shores are absent floating on the surface instead of thickness of water becomes an obvious and best choice. The seas will become covered by masses of the bound stalks, probably, dense enough to sustain weight of arthropods and small vertebrates. And large creatures eating seaweed will turn to “live boats” doing not wish or even not capable to dive, because they have absolutely nothing to do under water. Well, and if all prey is on the surface, predators will come also to change a way of movement; they will pass to breath with atmospheric air and swimming with the minimal immersing – using the principle of speedboat or hydrofoil. Because despite of the density of atmosphere, resistance of the medium in air is less, rather than in water.
Oceanic vegetative pleuston – Sargassum algae – at the Earth is
characteristic only for the Sargasso Sea also called “sea
without shores”.
Even the fauna of “dry” and not having atmosphere of outstanding density “super-Earth” will appear unusual. Evolution of fauna will be influenced with the increased gravity complicating flapping flight and walking. At first sight the problem is solved simply – animals only must become smaller to improve the force to weight ratio. But actually it is a too serious sacrifice. Because in nature things are just simple: the larger bird gets the worm.
The characteristic feature of the animals of “heavy” worlds may be a vertical mouth.
Blue whale overturns sideways instead of lifting its huge jaw. The mouth swinging
open in sides is also more convenient for creeping creatures.*
* In due course of preparing of the article for the site another illustration had been choosen.
The first amphibians on our planet were not able to walk yet and, resting against the ground with paws similar to fins, dragged hardly on stones the belly protected by corneous plates. Only the second generation of land trailblazers had managed hardly to rise on legs, having reduced friction at movement. But if the gravity will make 2g as in Harry Harrison’s “Deathworld”, movement using four fulcrums becomes an excessive problem for primitive vertebrates. No, they will not surrender, but will simply move to domination on land in different way, having undertaken for development of progressive methods of crawling. And the “heavy” planet will turn to an empire of snake-like creatures. In other relations the biosphere will remain “earthlike”. Creeping legless animals will occupy niches of large herbivores and predators, will acquire with wool and will start to nurse their cubs with milk in proper time.
“Easy” planets
According the canon Pandora planet of “Avatar” movie has gravity 20% weaker
compared to the Earth, and 20% denser atmosphere. But the size of Pandoran
flying monsters points to the gravitation not greater than on Mars.
The opportunity of existence of “oxygen” planets having gravity about 2-3 times weaker than on the Earth seems to be doubtful. But in very favorable circumstances (outflow of gases into the space is compensated by their receipt from bowels as a result of extremely high seismic activity caused, like in case of Pandora, by tidal interactions) such situation seems to be probably. Low gravitation will not create really new and original conditions. Nevertheless, the appearance of representatives of “easy world” biosphere appears to be very impressive.
Weak gravity will make flapping flight accessible to medium-sized animals. Smaller ones will spend for movement by air no more energy, than for walking. In such situation only the largest or digging animals will not hasten to get wings. At top of food pyramid, certainly, the birds adapted to flight in the best way will appear, having an opportunity to eliminate the backlog from mammals in brain size and physical strength. The eagle weighing two hundredweights… however, it will remain an eagle. Because from the aerodynamic point of view the eagle is much more perfect, rather than flying eeriness from “Avatar”.
It is curious also, that “easy planet” will not cause land-dwelling giants. The size limit of animals is restricted not by gravitation, but by food resources.
Ancient planets
Caecilians represent the “youngest” and most perfect modification of amphibians
intended, as it is easy to understand from the shape of animal, to replace usual
worms. In “old” biospheres vertebrates will most likely supersede completely
invertebrates even from the least attractive ecological niches.
At the planet similar to the Earth evolution will inevitably go in the similar ways. And the result will depend on how far it will manage to go. If not too deep, we can familiarize with it in general not leaving our world at all – by methods of paleontology. But if evolution will go further, than at the present moment on the Earth, it will cause animals much more “alien” and unusual than in any previous case. Though it hardly probable will relate to appearance of animals.
During the last 20-30 million years evolution on the Earth gives lesser attention to the shape, focusing in the internal contents. Modern wolves are weaker compared to “dire wolves” (Canis dirus) of Pleistocene, but are much cleverer. Perfection of natural arms has completely lost sense for the wolf is capable to kill a creature much larger than it is, and thus eats voles mainly. Increase of intelligence yields the best results. The “headies” race mentioned in novels by Strugatsky brothers – intelligent canids distinguished from the wolf only in volume of skull – is most likely an authentic portrait of a predator from an ancient planet.
Forms insufficiently large to get the necessary brain size, and also reptiles, amphibians and arthropods will change much stronger, having passed to social habit of life allowing adaptation due to physical specialization of “castes”, or having joined in complex circuits of symbiosis. It is possible to imagine turtles with wasp nests in carapaces, or the social rodents having mouse-like caste for activity in wood litter, the workers equipped with gliding membrane for conquering of the top levels of the forest, the caste of digging builders and the caste of soldiers for protection and casual predation.
The amazing effect of “alieness” arises when a certain kind of animals occupies
an ecological niche obviously not intended for it. The New Zealand kiwi bird is
an imitation of insectivorous mammal.
The animals not feeling any callings neither to the higher nervous activity, nor to the organization or to symbiosis, will also find an exit. Sci-fi authors like to settle Neverlands with the polymorphic monsters shifting their shape depending on circumstances. But for change of the shape it is not required at all to steal another’s genes as it is done by Aliens race. It is possible to have some complete sets of their own ones.
After decoding of the genetic code zoological directories had to be re-written. It turned out that some species of fishes (including trouts) are capable to form up to four forms in the same reservoir, differing in appearance and a way of feeding. And even adult fishes, having got to new conditions, are capable to be transformed physically – for the best conformity to them. It is not so surprising if to remember that salmon fishes in courtship period change even the skull anatomy.
Genetic plasticity is an effective method of the adaptation. But it has its own price.
At the species changing their body structure on external conditions the abnormally
high frequency of genetic defects takes place.
Polymorphism called in scientific language “genetic plasticity” permits to one species to occupy any number of ecological niches and to adapt even to promptly changing environment. But the only restriction exists – if ancestors of this species were already adapted to it once. As it is known, in its development embryo repeats a history of its species. And some animals are able to “recall” evolutional decisions already found once. This method is effective in its own way, though only for the creatures completely relying on an instinct and not accumulating individual experience. Highly organized vertebrates will come anew to study in everything after physical transformation.
Xenomorph may have tentacles, pincers and moray’s retractable mouth. But while drawing its portrait it is impossible to neglect the aesthetic side of the question. Despite of alienness, beast from another planet will be beautiful – it doesn’t matter, is it real or successfully designed. It concerns to dangerous predators first of all. Human intuitively determines perfection and efficiency. That’s why the majority of Earth animals is seemed beautiful for us. Or, anyway, not ugly. Apart for spiders, the relation to which is predetermined by atavistic fear, exceptions of the given rule speak for themselves. Evolutionary outsiders – scavengers, parasites, underground, deep-water or obviously out-of-date creatures – are unpleasant in their appearance. Like crocodiles are. Snakes, for example, are in trend for the present. It is possible to be afraid of them, and they are completely alien to humans. But it is impossible to name them ugly.

Sweat Records is an independent music store, coffee shop, and event space located in Miami, FL.
For more information PLEASE read FAQ first
Primary email: info@sweatrecordsmiami.com
Noon to 10pm Monday through Saturday
SWEAT RECORDS is Miami’s indie music store, coffee shop, and event space. Located next door to the legendary local punk venue Churchill’s Pub (est.1979), Sweat is much more than just a music retail spot.
Sweat was established in March 2005 by two best friends dedicated to Miami’s colorful scene – long-time DJ, music retail nerd, and club/concert promoter Lauren (Lolo) Reskin and ex-WVUM DJ/current criminal defense attorney Sara Yousuf. Since then Sweat has played a vital role in instigating and promoting a renaissance of growth and activity in Miami’s cultural landscape.
After debuting to cheers all around, Sweat survived its first location being destroyed by Hurricane Wilma in October 2005 and moved into a small temporary warehouse space in the back of Churchill’s. Sara left in 2006 to be a full-time Public Defender and new partner Jason Jimenez came on board in 2007 to help usher in a new era and location for Sweat.
In late 2007 Sweat moved into their current expanded and fully-stocked storefront located at 5505 NE 2nd Ave., with the building’s massive teal-and-white mural of alt music heroes by local artist CP1 making it hard to miss. Sweat’s third location also brought the addition of a multipurpose all-ages event space and a coffee bar featuring handmade drinks. The store offers a wide variety of new and used LPs, turntables, headphones, record accessories, a few CDs, and a curated selection of magazines, books, gifts, and local music.
Several evenings a month, Sweat hosts in-store events ranging from live music to community group meetings to movie nights and other random (sub)cultural happenings.
In 2009, Sweat Records was honored to be a recipient of a Knight Arts Challenge grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
April 2010 brought the first Sweatstock – a free, day-long block party and music festival (with No Age headlining!) to celebrate the store’s 5th anniversary as well the best new holiday ever, Record Store Day.
In early 2011 Lolo’s high school friend and music savant Emile Milgrim moved back to Miami from Portland and came on board as Sweat’s Managing Partner and Music Buyer.
March 2011 brought the launch of e-commerce site SweatShopMiami.com to offer the shop’s made-in-Miami merchandise to a global audience, and Sweatstock 2011 went down bigger and better just a month later.
In 2012 Sweat was awarded a second Knight Arts Challenge grant, this time with the main goal of enhancing our in-store events and documenting the shows. We threw four more Sweatstock festivals from 2012-2015.
The Live@Sweat in-store series kicked off in 2015 was a great success. In 2016 we put the name “Sweatstock” on hiatus and introduced a new-and-improved Record Store Day Get Down with a free show by Shabazz Palaces!
The future is wide open and the Sweat team is committed to their goals of supporting the local cultural community and being the world-class indie record store the city deserves. Sweat loves Miami and is proud to be a part of such a unique and kick-ass scene.
Cool People Who Have Visited Sweat Records:
Ian MacKaye (Fugazi/Dischord)
Fred Schneider (B-52’s)
Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys/Alternative Tentacles)

Tons of bands from next door at Churchill’s
A surprise visit to Sweat Records on Sunday by the legendary Iggy Pop was thrilling for the store’s owners and fans. The night before, the store had a party ”to unveil our new Wall of Idolatry mural by artist CP1 that has many of our musical heroes on it,” says Sweat owner Lauren Reskin. “Iggy is featured on the wall, and, coincidentally, he passed by the day after and we got to show him his face.” – Miami Herald’s Scene In The Tropics, September 13, 2008

Newcastle United loan player linked with surprise early exit from club in January
Turin newspaper Tuttosport have a feature in their Thursday edition on local club Torino and their desire to improve in the January transfer window.
Torino are currently 10th in Serie A after six games, and their season could very much go one way or another.
Adding quality and depth to the squad in January can only provide a boost for manager Sinisa Mihajlovic.
Several names are linked with a move to the club in January and one that stands out is Christian Atsu. The 24 year old is currently on loan with Newcastle United from Chelsea, his fifth loan away from Stamford Bridge since he joined the club in 2013.
Atsu is on a season long loan deal, but Tuttosport clearly believe Torino could find a way around that somehow.
Whilst Rafa Benitez has stated publicly that he’s pleased with Atsu, that hasn’t yet resulted in a bunch of minutes on the pitch for the player.
Should Newcastle not be entirely sure about Atsu for the second half of the season then Torino may be a reasonable option for all involved, and could be Atsu’s sixth loan club.

[Press Release] A launch of 16th Korea Queer Culture Festival t-shirt with official slogan
A launch of 16th Korea Queer Culture Festival t-shirt with official slogan
- The T-shirt design visualized the slogan of love and resistance.
- T-shirts can be purchased on the official website.
- A relay of KQCF t-shirt photo shot event started on the official KQCF account
[June 8, 2015] Korea Queer Culture Festival (Director of KQCF, Myung Jin Kang, www.kqcf.org) announced they would launch the t-shirt utilizing the slogan to celebrate 2015 16th KQCF.
The official slogan of the 16th KQCF is ‘Love, Resist, Queer Revolution!’. A design of the slogan is motivated by Ω, a symbol of the electric resistance and created with the font image of ‘LOVE’ from the ‘REVOLUTION’.
The t-shirts would be launched with 3 different kinds, a white one printed the basic slogan design, and black and white two separated t-shirts with the pop art look. Thanks to the cooperation from the U.S. Embassy, this message t-shirts were manufactured with $500 financial support by GLIFAA (Gays and Lesbians in Foreign Agencies Association) as the GLIFAA subsidy. The price of the t-shirt is 20,000 KRW. There would be two ways of purchasing the t-shirt, through the KQCF official website (www.kqcf.org) and at the KQCF opening ceremony on-site. Profits from selling the item will be used for the KQCF opening ceremony and the management of the festival.
Along with the launch and sale of the t-shirt, KQCF would organize the t-shirt proof shot event via KQCF official twitter (@kqcf) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/kqcf2000). Should you have any question regarding the purchase of the t-shirt or the participation of the event, the guidance would be provided through the KQCF official website (www.kqcf.org) and the official contact (kqcf@daum.net).
Meanwhile, 2015 16th KQCF will be held from June 9th to 28th at the various places in Seoul. Starting from the Opening Ceremony at the Seoul City Square on June 9th via YouTube live streaming, hosting the official party on 13th, there would be Korea Queer Film Festival from 18th to 21st. Last but not least, the Parade, as the highlight of the festival, would be held at the Seoul City Square on 28th and the expected participants for the 6th KQCF are around 30,000.

Recognising facial onset sensory motor neuronopathy syndrome: insight from six new cases
Broad, R and Leigh, P N (2015) Recognising facial onset sensory motor neuronopathy syndrome: insight from six new cases. Practical Neurology, 15 (4). pp. 293-297. ISSN 1474-7758
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/practneurol-2014-000984
Facial onset sensory and motor neuronopathy (FOSMN) was first described in 2006 as an apparently sporadic neurodegenerative disease. Thirty cases have been reported to date. We summarise six new cases, highlighting the key clinical aspects of FOSMN and how to differentiate it from motor neurone disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). Typically, patients present with slowly evolving numbness of the face followed by bulbar and proximal (neck and arm) weakness. However, one of our patients presented with a motor syndrome and his abnormal blink reflex studies provided a useful diagnostic clue. This extends the spectrum of the syndrome and emphasises that FOSMN should be considered in the differential diagnosis of motor neurone disease. We discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis, prognosis and management considerations of FOSMN.

← Trump: Hillary Presidency Will Cause ‘Crime Wave Like You’ve Never Seen’
‘DTCC and its partner in crime, Cede & Company’ — Anonymous Patriots →
Anonymous summarizes & documents 30 year crime spree of Hillary Clinton
Posted on August 3, 2016 by State of the Nation
Here is the entire message of Anonymous that I cut and paste below. The links make me wonder why Presidential candidates do not have to pass an FBI background check but people who deliver our daily mail must be thoroughly investigated…
Hillary Clinton:
Greetings, We are Anonymous This is an Open Message to You Hillary Clinton, We Know What You and Your People Stand For and We Do Not Forget, It Seems Lying has Become a Second Nature to You.. Should we Say your only Nature and Many Blindly Support You, but we know your real Motives, your Real Plans, You Will Not Bring About Change, At least not in a Positive Way, and you will remain a puppet like all those before you..
Remember the 30,000 Emails You Deleted, Remember the Shady Weapons Deals that Helped Arm Isis? Remember you telling your aides to Delete Classification Tags? Remember the Jokes about “Wiping” your server? Remember All your lies? Hillary, there is a reason that they say to tell the truth the first time around so you don’t have to remember your lies.. they add up, your behavior and your actions they all add up..
Oh but Hillary, you will learn today why Anonymous doesn’t forget and how we took the liberty to Archive All of your corruption, your lies, shady deals, and even family history.. We even went as far to include your past scandals, we told you back in January we were going to dig up all of your closet skeletons and We Weren’t Lying..
Included Below is All of Your History.. We Even Included the Clinton Body Count Because Frankly, We Feel 80 Dead People Around One Family Name is Suspicious Especially When Lawyers, and your Associates are Included in Such a List with Suspicious Deaths Surrounding investigations and When Women like Kathleen Willey and Others Have Come Forward Saying they were Threatened by your henchman..
But What Really Did it for Us Was the Blatant Display of Electioneering by YOU and YOUR Husband Slick Willy.. so we Also Compiled a List of All the Election Rigging We’ve Been Seeing.. but We didn’t Only Include the DNC Oh No, We Are Fed Up with the Bull shit, our voice and vote is being suppressed and where as we take no Political Affiliation Here and just Seek to See you Destroyed We can Not Ignore Super Delegates and Delegates Ruining Democracy.. its Over, Hillary your Presidential Run Ends Here and Your Prison Run Starts Now..
We Demand the FBI Indicts and Imprisons this Career Criminal.. The Evidence, provided Below Should Be Enough, You Are Welcome We DID your Research.. In the Next Couple Weeks, We Will Be Campaigning with a Fax Bomb Campaign For Everyone to Call their Senators, and Congressman to Demand a Special Council is Put together to Prosecute Hillary Clinton.. Because We Know the DOJ and Loretta Lynch Will Not Do Their Job Against their Own.. We Do Not Forgive, We Do Not Forget, You Should’ve Expected Us.. will update when we see fit..

Sandy Hume: February 2nd, 1998 Suicide On Sunday, February 22nd, 1998, Sandy Hume, the 28-year-old son of journalist Britt Hume, was reportedly found dead in his Arlington, Virginia home. Aside from the statement that this was an “apparent” suicide, there remains in place a total media blackout on this story, possibly out of concern that the actual facts will not withstand public scrutiny. Indeed, it was reported in Associated Press that the Arlington Police were not responding to any inquiries. Hume was a reporter for The Hill magazine, newspaper about Congress for Congress, and had broken a major story in 1997 regarding the friction between House Speaker Newt Gingrich and a faction led by Representative Paxon (who announced his resignation just 24 hours after Hume’s death). In addition, Sandy Hume had just joined the staff at Fox TV News and was just three weeks into a job that represented the pinnacle of his young career. Oddly enough, aside from echoing the one Associated Press story, the Fox News website has ignored the death of its newest commentator. Sandy already had a reputation for getting the story that nobody else wanted to look at. It is worth noting that his death came hard on the heels of reports that “a reporter” was about to break a story confirming the White House’s use of investigators to dig up dirt on critics. It has recently been confirmed that the man who performed the as-yet-unreleased autopsy is none other than Dr. James C. Beyer, who has a record of concealing homicides behind a ruling of suicide. Kenneth Starr’s “suicidologist” Dr. Alan L. Berman has waded in again and as he did in the Foster death ruled it “100% certain that this is a suicide and can be nothing else”.
Gary Webb 12/10/04 Suicide/Murder Webb, a Pullitzer prize winning journalist, exposed CIA drug trafficking operations in a series of books and reports for the San Jose Mercury News. He was found dead on Friday morning in what the police said was an apparent suicide. Webb had been shot in the head TWICE!

Pat Matrisciana, owner of “Jeremiah Films” (which produces such videos as The Clinton Chronicles), and David Drye planned a trip to Washington DC by Private plane. At the last second, pat had to cancel and David left without him, dying when the plane crashed.
Daniel A. Dutko 7/27/99 “Bicycle Accident” Daniel A. Dutko, 54, was the co-chairman of Leadership 2000, the Democratic National Committee’s main fund-raising effort. He held many other high-level political positions, including vice chairman of finance for Clinton-Gore in 1995; finance chairman of the 53rd inaugural ball; and vice chairman of finance for the DNC in 1996 (when the Chinese money poured in). Attributed to a bicycle accident in which it’s claimed he struck his head on the concrete twice.
Kevin Coney 1988-89 Murdered Six Ark. people who came forward with info about the Gregory Collins death of 2 teens Kevin Ives and Don Hengry near the Mena operations. All killed Kieth McKaskle before testifying. Stabbed, shotgunned or burned. Jeff Rhodes Local detective, John Brown, reportedly solved the Richard Winters case and gave findings to FBI which sat on them. Jordan Ketelson According to Brown, “We know who killed these kids. The reason this case has been stopped … is because it tracks to Bill Clinton being involved in the cover-up”. Kevin Ives 08/87 Murdered Two Bryant, Ark teens who saw too much of the Mena Don Henry air drops. Found on train tracks. Initial report said they fell asleep and was made by a state coroner appointed by Bill Clinton. Parents protested and after months, had the boys exumed and re-examined. Cause of death then changed to murder, the boys having been stabbed and skulls crushed before the train arrived. Eric Butera December 4, 1997 An informant who came forward offering information regarding the murder of White House intern Mary Mahoney. He was then sent into a known crack house to make an undercover buy for the police and was beaten to death. His mother was awarded $100 million in compensation, but a Federal Judge later slashed it to just $1 million.

The Air Force reported finding no evidence of an in-flight mechanical emergency after examining the flight data and flight voice recorders and could not find evidence that the pilot radioed mechanical trouble before crashing into the mountainside as reported by the White House. The victims included 8 crew members and one Secret Service agent. The aircraft and crew were stationed out of Dyess Air Force Base.
Lawyer/Talk Show Host Duane Garrett 7/26/95 Floating in River A lawyer and a talk show host for KGO-AM in San Francisco, Duane was the campaign finance chairman for Diane Fienstein’s run for the senate, and was a friend and fundraiser for Al Gore. According to Garrett’s lawyer, Garrett was under investigation for defrauding investors in Garrett’s failed sports memorabilia venture. There was talk of a deal to evade prosecution. On July 26th, Garrett canceled an afternoon meeting with his lawyer because he had to meet some people at the San Francisco airport. Three hours later he was found floating in the bay under the Golden Gate Bridge.
Bills Dead Women:
Judi Gibbs 1/3/96 Judi Gibbs (along with her sister Sharon) appeared in the December 1979 issue of Penthouse, and later worked at a bordello in Fordyce, near Mena, Arkansas which also ran a blackmail operation with photos taken of the customers with their girls. According to the Gibbs family, Bill Clinton was a regular customer of Judi, and there were photos of him having sex with her that threatened his Presidential campaign! While cooperating with law enforcement in a drug investigation, Judi died when her house burned down. No cause for the fire was found. Judy had called the fire department to report the fire, but her body was found on the floor in front of a ground floor window, near a door that would have allowed her escape. In a sworn statement, Clinton bodyguard Barry Spivey related how he had been with the governor when the governor’s plane had flown over Judi Gibb’s house and Clinton had shown Judi’s penthouse photos on the plane and pointed out the house.
Mary Mahoney July 1997 Gunned Down A former White House intern was murdered July 1997 at a Starbucks Coffee Shop in Georgetown. The murder happened just after she was to go public with her story of sexual harassment in the White House. in the pre-trial publicity surrounding Paula Jones lawsuit Mike Isikoff had dropped hints that a “former White House staffer” with the initial “M” was about to go public with her story of sexual harassment at 1600 Pennsylvania. Just days later, gunmen entered the Starbuck’s while the crew was cleaning up after closing. Mary’s two associates, Aaron Goodrich, 18 and Emory Evans, 25, were taken to a room and shot. Mary herself had five bullets in her, from at least two different guns, most likely with silencers. A total of ten shots were fired; none of them heard by neighbors in the densely populated Georgetown section. Mary was shot in the chest, her face, and in the back of the head. Someone wanted her very dead. Or to send a message. Even though more than $4000 remained in the store, the police have categorized the triple murder as a robbery, even as they acknowledge the “execution style” killings. There was no sign of forced entry, which means that either Mary of one of the employees let the killers in (at least one hour after closing). That means that the killers included at least one person known to the victims. One report is that the Starbuck’s was still locked when the bodies were found the next morning. Robbers don’t bother locking doors. George Stephenopolis, Monica Lewinsky, and Chelsea Clinton were all regulars at the Starbuck’s. Carl Cooper, the man charged with the Starbuck’s murders on the basis of a confession has now recanted that confession, claiming that it was obtained under coercion (not unlike that of James Earl Ray). A affidavit filed by NOAA’s Sonya Stewart, confirms that the Department of Commerce was selling trade mission seats in exchange for campaign donations, and illegally blocking FOIA requests. Named in the affidavit as the White House staffer directly connected to this obstruction was Doris Matsui. Doris’s assigned intern during this period was Mary Mahoney.
Christine M. Mirzayan August 1, 1998 On August 1, 1998, yet another young female government intern with the initial “M”, Christine M. Mirzayan, was murdered, beaten to death with a heavy object near Georgetown University. Eventually, Mike Isikoff’s “former White House staffer” finally surfaced and its NOT Mary Mahoney, or Christine M. Mirzayan, but Monica Lewinsky. If the killing of Mary Mahoney and Christine M. Mirzayan was to silence a “bimbo eruption”, they got the wrong woman! (Just how many of the interns was Clinton getting oral sex from anyway??)

Beauty vs Beast: The Battle of Halloweentown
Monday, October 29, 2018 at 3:00PM
Jason Adams from MNPP here, wishing everyone a Happy All Hallows Week as well as (thematically related) a Happy 25 to Henry Selick's now-a-holiday-classic The Nightmare Before Christmas for this week's "Beauty vs Beast" contest. It seems strange to remember that when NBC came out it only got mixed reviews but I was there, I am old, and I remember it - it's stood the test of time though, and now I can't imagine Halloween or Christmas without Zero the Dog and the rest of the colorfully spooky gang. (The annual argument over whether the film is a Halloween Movie or an Xmas Movie that I could do without.)
bike trail guide
PREVIOUSLY The winner of last week's PJ Soles contest was... drum-roll please... PJ Soles! PJ Soles is always our winner. Okay okay specifically it was her Halloween character of Lynda who won over her role in Carrie, with a vote of 69% (that number would totally make Lynda giggle). Said Rob:
"Norma was horrible and got what she deserved. Lynda was a totally lovable airhead. GO LYNDA"

Oscar Horrors: "What's This?!?" an Animated Visual FX Nominee
Here lies… The Pumpkin King of The Nightmare Before Christmas, and the visual effects that made him dance.
The work of Pete Kozachik, Eric Leighton, Ariel Valesco-Shaw and Gordon Baker holds a unique place in the history of the Academy’s visual effects category. As the first – and as of 2012, the last – soley animated film to receive a nomination in this category, it earned the visual effects branch’s respect like none before or since. Oh sure, Mary Poppins and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? won the category in their respective years, but those trophies came predominantly for the way they integrated animation with live action. The Nightmare Before Christmas, however, earned its nomination for the way Henry Selick’s stop-motion universe came to life thanks to innovative camera techniques.
While many may think this film’s idea of “visual effects” lays exclusively at the floating ghosts and shape-shifting shadows that pepper Henry Selick’s visual palate, the Oscar nomination was more a reward for the way the cameras were developed with computer technology to help navigate the heavily-designed “claymation” world.

Forbes an awesomely nerdy calculation of Smaug's wealth from The Hobbit. It's from the "fictional fifteen" of the wealthiest characters from movies, books, and tv.
Grantland looks at the end of the full frontal wang era, which peaked with Shame last year and will supposedly die with Magic Mike this summer.
Los Angeles Times Two of the stars of the Tribeca winning Una Noche have defected from Cuba and are seeking asylum in the US. They're a couple in real life and siblings on the screen.
Movie|Line asks everyone to calm down with their "best picture!" proclamations in April. Oopsie. We just completed all of our predictions. But at least The Film Experience has never been driven to "lock!" proclamations before movies are even finished.
The Wrap Any Day Now, a gay adoption drama starring two fine actors (Garrett Dillahunt & Alan Cumming) won the audience award at Tribeca
My New Plaid Pants James Franco and Michael Shannon in compromising positions for The Broken Tower
24 Frames Henry Selick still hush hush about his Coraline follow up, another spooky sweet stop motion film. It will probably be released in 2013. Scribble it down on your Oscar predictions for next next year. Then he's doing Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book.
The Mary Sue eye makeup looks inspired by The Avengers. As colorful as any superhero comic.
Collider yes, they're still planning to reboot The Fantastic Four
Guardian Olivia Williams isn't one for "flamboyant self display". Perhaps she'll rethink that if she wants Oscar traction this year for Hyde Park on Hudson.
if you follow the Oscar race religiously and have for at least a few years you've probably discovered that the craft categories are inherently like the acting categories in that some giants of the trade can't seem to win the gold man despite rich filmographies and stunning year-best work. The Oscars require some luck as well. So I'm very happy to congratulate Michael Ballhaus, pictured above, an amazing cinematographer for his lifetime achievement award at Germany's Lolas this past week.
His Oscar nominations came for The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989), Gangs of New York (2002), and Broadcast News (1987) but he also lit Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), The Age of Innocence (1993), and The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant (1972)... and that's only a handful of the visual wonders he's produced. The Film Experience ♥s him and has ever since La Pfeiffer spun around on that piano and Made Whoopie. We congratulate him sincerely on this career honor.

Harrowing photo of drowned father-daughter depicts migrants' border peril
Associated Press | Published: June 26, 2019 16:07:24 | Updated: July 10, 2019 15:35:20
The bodies of a Salvadorian migrant and his daughter are seen at the Rio Bravo river in Matamoros, in Tamaulipas state in Mexico — Via Reuters
The man and his 23-month-old daughter lay face down in shallow water along the bank of the Rio Grande, his black shirt hiked up to his chest with the girl's head tucked inside. Her arm was draped around his neck suggesting she clung to him in her final moments.
The searing photograph of the sad discovery on Monday, captured by journalist Julia Le Duc and published by Mexican newspaper La Jornada, highlights the perils of the latest migration crisis involving mostly Central Americans fleeing violence and poverty and hoping for asylum in the United States.
From the scorching Sonora desert to the fast-moving Rio Grande, the US-Mexico border has long been an at times deadly journey for those who cross it illegally between ports of entry.
In recent weeks alone, two babies, a toddler, and a woman were found dead on Sunday, overcome by the sweltering heat. Elsewhere three children and an adult from Honduras died in April after their raft capsized on the Rio Grande, and a 6-year-old from India was found dead earlier this month in Arizona, where temperatures routinely soar well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
"Very regrettable that this would happen," Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Tuesday in response to a question about the photograph. "We have always denounced that as there is more rejection in the United States, there are people who lose their lives in the desert or crossing" the river.
According to Le Duc's reporting for La Jornada, Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez, frustrated because the family from El Salvador were unable to present themselves to US authorities and request asylum, swam across the river with his daughter, Valeria.
He set her on the US bank of the river and started back for his wife, Tania Vanessa Ávalos, but seeing him move away the girl threw herself into the waters. Martínez returned and was able to grab Valeria, but the current swept them both away. The account was based on remarks by Ávalos to police at the scene.
'We could see more desperate measures'
Their bodies were discovered Monday morning on the bank of the river near Matamoros, Mexico, across from Brownsville, Texas, and several hundred yards from where they had tried to cross, just a half-mile from an international bridge.
The photo recalls the 2015 image of a 3-year-old Syrian boy Aylan Kurdi who drowned in the Mediterranean near Turkey, though it remains to be seen whether it may have the same impact in focusing international attention on migration to the US.
US policy has drastically reduced the number of migrants who are allowed to request asylum, down from dozens per day previously to sometimes just a handful at some ports of entry.
The United States has also been expanding its programme under which asylum seekers wait in Mexico while their claims are processed in US courts, a wait that could last many months or even years.
This week the city of Nuevo Laredo in Tamaulipas, the same state where Matamoros is located, said it will become the latest city to receive returnees as soon as Friday.
Many migrant shelters are overflowing on the Mexican side, and cartels hold sway over much of Tamaulipas and have been known to kidnap and kill migrants.
Meanwhile, Mexico is stepping up its own crackdown on immigration, with much of the focus on slowing the flow in the country's south.
"With greater crackdowns and restrictions," said Cris Ramón, senior immigration policy analyst at the Bipartisan Policy Center think tank in Washington, "we could see more desperate measures by people trying to enter Mexico or the US."

Idris Elba, Who Deejayed at the Royal Wedding, Reveals Meghan Markle Gave Him a Setlist
Guests at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s wedding reception last May couldn’t help but dance the night away thanks to Idris Elba.
The actor and occasional royal wedding deejay, 46, opened up about performing at the high profile gig to BBC Radio 1Xtra and revealed the bride had a lot of say when it came to the setlist.
“Meghan sent me a playlist with some bare tunes on it,” the star said.
When asked to disclose what songs made the set, Elba, 46, shared: “There was some West Coast on it.”
Elba was reluctant, however, to share any further details after being questioned if by “West Coast” he meant Californian rappers Tupac or Dr. Dre.
“I’m not gonna put their business out like that, that’s not fair,” Elba said during the interview. “Ask Meghan and Harry.”
Meghan, 37, and Harry, 34, said “I do” in front of about 600 guests at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
The couple celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary in May by releasing a charming set of-behind-the-scenes pictures on their joint Instagram account.
The slide show begins with a gorgeous black-and-white photo of Meghan and Harry from inside Windsor Castle’s St. George’s Chapel, and also shows the blushing bride holding the hand of her mother Doria Ragland and signing the wedding register alongside the Archbishop of Canterbury, who married them.
Another stunning shot showcases Meghan taking a bouquet from one of her bridal party and receiving some last-minute checks to the veil over her Givenchy dress.
A lot has changed for the couple since tying the knot. The couple welcomed their first child Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor on May 6.
As Meghan and Harry continue to celebrate their love, Elba is celebrating a union of his own.
In April, Elba married model Sabrina Dhowre in Morocco after getting engaged in February 2018.
The two exchanged vows on Friday at the Ksar Char Bagh hotel in Marrakesh, according to British Vogue. The Ksar Char Bagh is a small luxury hotel with extensive gardens in the palm grove of Marrakesh.
“It was one of the most beautiful three days of our lives. We spent a while trying to prep this wedding and wanted to have our entire family connection,” Elba said on BBC Radio 1Xtra.
“We both have a big family and network of friends. We brought everyone together, flew to Morocco and had an amazing time,” he added.

2014 year № 1 (55) Editorials The social and medical aspects of the birth rate in the Primorskiy region
The social and medical aspects of the birth rate in the Primorskiy region
Written by Shumatov V.B., Krivelevich E.B.
UDK: 314.3: 614.2 (571.63) | Pages: 5–10 | Full text PDF | Open PDF
The authors have performed a comprehensive fertility assessment in Primorskiy Krai over the years 1989–2012 based on the statistics presented by the Federal State Statistics Service and the regional medical information‑analytical center of Primorye. From 1989 to 1999 the total natality in Primorskiy Krai has decreased by 1.93 times. Its growth began since 2000, which was largely due to the withdrawal from another demographic fail and the increasing number of women of childbearing age. Since 2006 the total natality dynamics has been positively influenced by the state policy implementation aimed to stimulate the birth rate within the framework of the parent capital programme and social support for the families with children. Birth rate in the rural areas has traditionally been higher than in town. The most intensive growth was recorded in the period 2006–2012, when it came to 20 % in towns and 22.7 % in rural areas. From 1992 up to 2012 the population in the Primorskiy region has decreased by 354.7 thousand people, representing 15.4 %. The most intensive depopulation was during the 90s of the last century. But even in the first decade of the XXI century, when the natality began to rise, the population over the last 10 years has decreased by 120.2 thousand people or 5.8 % compared to 2003. At the same time there has been a structural degradation process of the people. During the first decade of this century a regressive type of the population has formed. The results of the analysis show that in the environment of continuing depopulation it is essential to pay special attention to the birth stimulating. One of the priorities in this sphere is ensuring the medical institutions with the physicians and nurses, enhancing their skills level that determine the availability and quality of medical care.

Technical Analysis Terms
Learn to Trade # Glossary | 3 years ago
Understanding technical analysis is key when trying to catch momentum based breakouts and identifying support and resistance levels. Here are a few commonly used technical indicators and what they tell us about a stock:
50day MA (Moving Average): The average closing prices of a stock over the last 50 days. A break of this line could signify a confirmed breakout. We also look for stocks that already trade above it which may indicate there is less upward resistance.
200day MA (Moving Average): The average closing prices of a stock over the last 200 days. A break of this line may confirm a bull run but also may signify that the run may be over and act as a resistance barrier leading to retracement or consolidation. If a stock is above the 200day MA, it will typically act as support. If a stock is below it, the 200day MA will typically act as resistance.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Shows the relationship between two moving averages of prices. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-day exponential moving average (EMA) from the 12-day EMA. A cross of the MACD Line and Signal is a good indicator that the trend is going into positive divergence which may lead to a bullish breakout. If the line crosses over the 0.0 region, bullish divergence is usually confirmed.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Compares the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses in an attempt to determine overbought and oversold conditions of a stock. Generally we like to see this on an upward slope around the 50 area. Between 50 and 70 is usually what we refer to as the “Power Zone”. Above 70, a stock is usually considered “Overbought” while below 30 usually shows a stock is “Oversold.”
Bollinger Bands: Bands plotted two standard deviations away from a simple moving average used to measure volatility. When the markets become more volatile, the bands widen (move further away from the average), and during less volatile periods, the bands contract (move closer to the average). The tightening of the bands is often used by technical traders as an early indication that the volatility is about to increase sharply.
Fibonacchi Retracement: A term used that refers to areas of support or resistance. The Fibonacci retracement is the potential retracement of a stock’s original move in price. Fibonacci retracements use horizontal lines to indicate areas of support or resistance at the key Fibonacci levels before it continues in the original direction. These levels are created by drawing a trendline between two extreme points and then dividing the vertical distance by the key Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% and 100%.

Second Faelish Civil War
The flag of the republican combatants.
Valadurian fighters during the Second Civil War. The man in the foreground is believed to be Edgar Cittimeri.
The Second Faelish Civil War was a military conflict between monarchist and revolutionary-republican nationalist forces in the Republic of Faeland and the Valadurian Republic (there were lesser engagements as well in other Member States). The war lasted from 1951 to 1955 and indirectly led to the creation of the modern Kingdom of Faeland. Among conservatives the conflict is euphemistically referred to as The Restoration — at war's end Aodhán II issued his Sublime Edict, dissolving the Republic of Faeland and re-creating the ancient Vŭzel Herrien.
"The French infection [The Enlightenment] became naught more than a political bloodbath and cultural blanching of historical identities. This terrible rationalism is the very fabric of modern mob rule." - Ettil Richiiner, journalist and political theorist, from his op-ed piece which appeared in a pro-monarchist newspaper in 1950
The Second Civil War was fought mostly in the passes and foothills of the Colhani Mountains.
A soldier of a mixed armored brigade. The yellow star painted on the tank indicates he is a Faelish republican.

Occupy UAL: the democratising of space
UAL Research Centre
Naldi, Pat (2015) Occupy UAL: the democratising of space. In: Spaces and tactics of politics: Transnational connections, neoliberalisation and the reshaping of civil society, 10-11 December 2015, University of Turku, Finland.
Type of Research:
Conference, Symposium or Workshop Item
Naldi, Pat
Central Saint Martins has since its 2011 relocation to King’s Cross, London, become the corporate face of University of the Arts London (UAL). Its building is the flagship of the largest urban redevelopment in Europe – King’s Cross estate. The site is an example of neoliberal corporatisation of urban space whereby ‘public’ spaces are given up for ‘privatised’ spaces in which citizen spatial participation and contestation is regulated by the capitalist concerns of estate owners. On 19 March 2015 a group of art students entered the administrative reception area of Central Saint Martins, and made their way into the boardroom pretending to assemble for a meeting. Waiting until the staff had left, the students then occupied the reception. Protesting at the closure of courses and wider institutional concerns, OccupyUAL, was born. They followed Occupy movements and other student occupations taking place worldwide. Through this paper I propose how faced with ‘no alternative’ OccupyUAL turned the building into a site of political contestation. Their demands to democratise the university with financial transparency, fair pay, no racism, and free education, was not the only means through which to achieve this I contend. It is through the occupation, public workshops, and talks staged within the space, that democratic participation, I argue was realised. For in our neoliberal society that privileges private spaces, as Don Mitchell writes, ‘what makes a space public’, one in which there can be political representation, is when a group ‘takes space and through its actions makes it public’.

Upper Canada District School Board » UCDSB News » Archived News » 2018-2019 » TR Leger Offered ESL Course in Perth
TR Leger Perth Works with Community Partners to Offer ESL Program
May 3, 2019 (Perth, ON) - A community partnership between the TR Leger School of Adult, Alternative and Continuing Education, a refugee support group, and the Perth and District Union Public Library has provided area newcomers the basic English skills needed to launch a new life in Canada.
TR Leger recently offered its first English as a Second Language (ESL) Course in Perth. It was launched after The Community Alliance for Refugee Resettlement (CARR) approached TR Leger staff about providing ESL services to Arabic-speaking refugees they had sponsored.
Faced with space challenges, TR Leger staff worked with the public library and CARR and formed a partnership to deliver the course at the library. CARR arranged for daycare services so newcomers with children could attend.
The ESL program was specially designed for newcomers to Canada, and it taught them a variety of language skills necessary for daily life – such as how to manage at a grocery store.
“The partnership to provide the course was really amazing,” said Tania Stover, TR Leger Manager of Literacy and Language Services. “It wasn’t just about providing the ESL class. It was a chance for the students to integrate into the community and to make friends and develop social connections.”
“We are so appreciative of the tremendous support we received from the many community partners, including the generosity of the library for providing such a wonderful space to offer our program,” added TR Leger Principal Sandy McInnes.
Through this course, students also learned more about the opportunities provided through the TR Leger school and local campus. Some have now enrolled in TR Leger’s Skills, Training and Employment Preparation (STEP) program, which is offered at 20 locations across the Upper Canada District School Board.
The Perth course is one of three ESL courses offered this year by TR Leger, with the others in Cornwall and Brockville. They are a part of a variety of non-credit programs that TR Leger makes available to newcomers, including the Language Instruction for New Canadians program offered in Cornwall. They also benefit from TR Leger’s settlement services for newcomers, and an International Language Program for K-8 elementary students on Saturday mornings where they teach Arabic, Tamil and Urdu to students in Cornwall.

The Ghost and Mrs. Miller by Sandra Tilley
12:43 pm 24 April 2018
Sandra Tilly has done a really good job with this book. I personally really enjoyed it. I am all about ghost's as lead characters. Although I am not a huge romance reader this one really grabbed me and did not let go. The book has really no horror or thriller to it, but you do get a ghost. At times the book was sad, funny, and more or less a feel good type story. It really runs the gambit of emotions and tells a true to life story, except maybe the ghost aspect.
On Libby and Neil's 19th anniversary, Libby catches Neil cheating with his assistant. On his way home that same night Neil looses control of his car and dies in a car crash. Neil may be dead but he isn't gone. He is a ghost and only Libby can see him.
Libby is still very mad at Neil and wants him to cross over, Neil has other ideas. He shows up whenever he is least expected or wanted. Libby is trying to stat a new life with her 2 kids and gain independence, along with a whole cast of childhood friends.

Review for Nursing test bank
Chapter 44: Diagnostic Procedures Nursing School Test Banks
1. A nurse should contact the physician to postpone intravenous moderate sedation if the patient:
has been NPO for 1 hour.
has a history of substance abuse.
has no history of latex allergy.
has demonstrated an understanding of the procedure.
ANS: A
Verify that the patient has not ingested food or fluids, except for oral medications, for at least 4 hours. Verify specific agency requirements. Because a risk of moderate sedation is loss of airway protection, an empty stomach reduces the risk for aspiration. A history of substance abuse is not a contraindication to the procedure, although it usually requires dose adjustment of the sedative. With no history of latex allergy, allergic reactions are not a concern. An understanding of the procedure implies that consent was informed.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: Text reference: p. 1100
OBJ: Demonstrate understanding of nursing responsibilities related to the use of intravenous sedation during diagnostic procedures. TOP: Moderate Sedation
KEY: Nursing Process Step: Assessment MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity
2. Which action should the nurse take after a procedure requiring intravenous moderate sedation?
Report to the physician a Ramsay sedation score that is less than 3.
Monitor airway patency and vital signs every 5 minutes for 30 minutes.
Take vital signs every 15 minutes for the next 2 hours.
Take vital signs every 30 minutes until stable.
After the procedure, monitor airway patency, vital signs, SpO2, pain score, and level of consciousness every 5 minutes for at least 30 minutes, then every 15 minutes for an hour, and then every 30 minutes until the patient meets the discharge criteria on the agencys designated scoring system. Report to the physician only a Ramsay sedation score higher than 3.
3. Under which circumstances should a nurse contact the physician to postpone an angiography?
If a patient has been NPO for only 1 hour
If a patients femoral site has been shaved and cleansed with an antiseptic
If the patient received Benadryl as a pre-procedure medication
When test results reveal a BUN level of 15 mg/100 mL and a creatinine level of 0.8 mg/mL
A patient needs to be NPO for 6 to 8 hours before the procedure to prevent possible aspiration because the patient is sedated. The site of catheter insertion needs to be shaved and prepped with antiseptic just before the procedure. Benadryl is used prophylactically to block histamine and decrease allergic responses. Elevated BUN or creatinine levels would place patients at risk for renal failure induced by contrast media.
OBJ: Effectively assist health care providers with angiogram, cardiac catheterization, intravenous (IV) pyelogram, bone marrow aspiration/biopsy, lumbar puncture, paracentesis, bronchoscopy, and endoscopy. TOP: Postponing Angiography
KEY: Nursing Process Step: Planning MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity
4. What action should the nurse take after an angiography?
Limit the patients fluid intake.
Have the patient ambulate as soon as possible.
Apply a pressure dressing to the vascular site.
Maintain the patient in a sitting position while he or she is in bed.
ANS: C
Five to 15 minutes of manual pressure is often enough to stop active site bleeding. However, a certain amount of bed rest is needed to achieve reliable hemostasis. Check agency policy for post-procedure bed rest requirements. This is often up to 6 hours when no vascular closure device is used. Encourage patient to drink 1 to 2 L of fluid after the procedure. Emphasize the need to lie flat for 6 to 12 hours.
OBJ: Perform appropriate physical and psychosocial assessments before, during, and after diagnostic procedures. TOP: Post-Angiography Procedure
KEY: Nursing Process Step: Implementation
MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity
5. The nurse is alert to a possible delayed reaction to the dye injected during an angiography. For which response should she monitor the patient?
Pallor
Assess the patient for a possible delayed reaction to iodine dye, seen as dyspnea, hives, tachycardia, and rash. This reaction occurs up to 6 hours after injection of dye. Thirst, by itself, is not a major warning sign of reaction to the dye. Pallor, by itself, is not a major warning sign of reaction to the dye. A patients report of any feelings of pain, dyspnea, numbness or tingling, or other untoward symptoms may indicate cardiac complications or procedure site complications, but not a reaction to the dye.
OBJ: Perform appropriate physical and psychosocial assessments before, during, and after diagnostic procedures. TOP: Reaction to IV Dye
6. The nurse is preparing to assist with a bone marrow aspiration on a 3-month-old infant. The nurse may expect that the physician will use which site to perform the aspiration?
Anterior iliac crest
Proximal tibia
Posterior iliac crest
In children, the anterior or posterior iliac crest is used, and in infants, the proximal tibia is used.
OBJ: Effectively assist health care providers with angiogram, cardiac catheterization, intravenous (IV) pyelogram, bone marrow aspiration/biopsy, lumbar puncture, paracentesis, bronchoscopy, and endoscopy. TOP: Bone Marrow Aspiration
7. The nurse is discussing the patients upcoming elective lumbar puncture, and explains that the patient will probably need to undergo computed tomography of the brain before the procedure is done. What is the reason for this?
Diagnose CNS infection.
Rule out increased intracranial pressure.
Visualize cerebrospinal fluid.
Measure pressure in the subarachnoid space.
In elective lumbar puncture (LP), pre-procedure computed tomography results are reviewed for evidence of brain shift to rule out increased intracranial pressure. The purpose of the LP procedure itself is to measure pressure in the subarachnoid space; obtain CSF for visualization and laboratory examination; and inject anesthetic, diagnostic, or therapeutic agents. CT will not do these things.
OBJ: Effectively assist health care providers with angiogram, cardiac catheterization, intravenous (IV) pyelogram, bone marrow aspiration/biopsy, lumbar puncture, paracentesis, bronchoscopy, and endoscopy. TOP: Lumbar Puncture
8. The patient is a 56-year-old man who has terminal cirrhosis and severe ascites. He is lethargic but is demonstrating signs of discomfort and respiratory distress. The physician has spoken with the patients wife and has obtained consent to perform an abdominal paracentesis on the patient. After the physician leaves to prepare for the procedure, the wife asks the nurse whether the procedure is really necessary. The nurse should respond by saying this:
is the first step in the patients recovery.
may help the patient feel better.
is needed to detect increased intracranial pressure.
is needed to analyze pleural fluid.
The patient is diagnosed as terminal. Paracentesis is a palliative measure used to provide temporary relief of abdominal and respiratory discomfort caused by severe ascites. Intracranial pressure is assessed with computed tomography. Thoracentesis, not paracentesis, is performed to analyze or remove pleural fluid.
OBJ: Effectively assist health care providers with angiogram, cardiac catheterization, intravenous (IV) pyelogram, bone marrow aspiration/biopsy, lumbar puncture, paracentesis, bronchoscopy, and endoscopy. TOP: Abdominal Paracentesis
9. Which is the appropriate patient position for a lumbar puncture?
Supine
Lateral recumbent
ANS: D
Position the patient in a lateral recumbent (fetal) position with the head and neck flexed. This provides spinal column full curvature. The spinal column is flexed as much as possible to allow maximal space between vertebrae.
OBJ: Effectively assist health care providers with angiogram, cardiac catheterization, intravenous (IV) pyelogram, bone marrow aspiration/biopsy, lumbar puncture, paracentesis, bronchoscopy, and endoscopy. TOP: Positioning for Lumbar Puncture
10. In which position is the patient usually placed for a thoracentesis?
Dorsal recumbent position
Supine with the arms over the head
Sims position on the affected side
Sitting and leaning over a bedside table
Place the patient in the orthopneic position (upright position with arms and shoulders raised and supported on a padded over-bed table). If the patient is unable to tolerate this position, assist the patient to a side-lying position with the affected lung positioned upward. This expands the intercostal space for needle insertions.
OBJ: Effectively assist health care providers with angiogram, cardiac catheterization, intravenous (IV) pyelogram, bone marrow aspiration/biopsy, lumbar puncture, paracentesis, bronchoscopy, and endoscopy. TOP: Positioning for Thoracentesis
11. When explaining about a lumbar puncture, the nurse informs the patient that during the procedure, he or she will be asked to:
remain very still.
cough during the fluid aspiration.
change position.
breathe deeply during the needle insertion.
Emphasize the importance of remaining immobile during the procedure to prevent trauma, especially with the lumbar puncture, because sudden movement is a risk for spinal cord nerve root damage. Also, instruct the patient not to cough, sneeze, or breathe deeply during the procedure because these actions increase the risks for needle displacement and damage to other structures.
12. When explaining what to expect during a bronchoscopy, the nurse informs the patient that:
an anesthetic solution will be swallowed.
the tube will be passed through the nose.
nothing will be given by mouth for 2 to 3 hours before.
no food or fluid will be provided until the gag reflex returns.
Do not allow the patient to eat or drink until the tracheobronchial anesthesia has worn off and the gag reflex has returnedusually for 2 hours. Instruct the patient not to swallow the local anesthetic. The bronchoscope is introduced into the mouth, to the pharynx, to pass through the glottis. The patient should have taken nothing by mouth for at least 8 hours before a bronchoscopy.
OBJ: Effectively assist health care providers with angiogram, cardiac catheterization, intravenous (IV) pyelogram, bone marrow aspiration/biopsy, lumbar puncture, paracentesis, bronchoscopy, and endoscopy. TOP: Bronchoscopy
13. The physician needs to visually examine a patients esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. The nurse anticipates that the physician will order:
endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
esophagoscopy.
esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD).
proctoscopy.
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) permits visualization of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum in a single examination. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is performed for visualization of the hepatobiliary tree and pancreatic ducts. Esophagoscopy is used to examine the esophagus only. Proctoscopy offers a visual examination of the lower gastrointestinal tract.
OBJ: Effectively assist health care providers with angiogram, cardiac catheterization, intravenous (IV) pyelogram, bone marrow aspiration/biopsy, lumbar puncture, paracentesis, bronchoscopy, and endoscopy. TOP: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)
14. A patient who is a candidate for an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy has:
been NPO for 8 hours.
evident respiratory distress.
active gastrointestinal bleeding.
an esophageal diverticulum.
Verify that the patient has been NPO for at least 8 hours. Evident respiratory distress will increase risk, and the procedure may have to be delayed. This test is contraindicated in patients with severe upper gastrointestinal tract bleed, Zenkers diverticulum, or a large aortic aneurysm.
15. For an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, a nurse should:
remove the patients dentures.
suction the patient every 5 minutes.
place the patient in high-Fowlers position.
provide fluids immediately after the test is finished.
Remove the patients dentures and other dental appliances to prevent dislodgement of dental structures during the intubation phase. Position the tip of the cannula in the patients mouth for easy access to drain oral secretions; suction as needed. Help the patient to maintain left lateral Sims position. Instruct the patient not to eat or drink after the procedure until the gag reflex returns, which is usually about 2 hours after the procedure.
OBJ: Effectively assist health care providers with angiogram, cardiac catheterization, intravenous (IV) pyelogram, bone marrow aspiration/biopsy, lumbar puncture, paracentesis, bronchoscopy, and endoscopy. TOP: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
16. During an electrocardiogram, the patient should anticipate that:
chest pain may occur.
the electrode sites will be cleaned with alcohol.
talking and moving around will be allowed.
the electrodes are attached with ties or rubber straps.
Clean and prepare the skin; wipe the sites with alcohol to help remove oils that would prevent adherence of the electrodes. Although the procedure is painless, it is important to document and note whether the patient is experiencing any chest discomfort during the procedure. Instruct the patient to lie still without talking. Electrodes are self-sticking.
OBJ: Perform appropriate physical and psychosocial assessments before, during, and after diagnostic procedures. TOP: Electrocardiogram (ECG)
17. The nurse is caring for a patient who underwent a cardiac catheterization. The sheaths have just been removed. You should assess the patient carefully for what potential complication?
Vasovagal reaction
Before removing the catheter sheath, check the health care providers orders for instructions on treating a vasovagal reaction. Manual pressure applied to the groin/femoral area can stimulate the baroreceptors and cause a vasovagal reaction in which the patient becomes bradycardic and hypotensive. Vasovagal reactions are usually brief and self-limited. When applying pressure to the groin after sheath removal, be alert for a vasovagal reaction and be prepared to treat it by lowering the head of the bed to the flat position and giving a bolus of IV fluids.
OBJ: Perform appropriate physical and psychosocial assessments before, during, and after diagnostic procedures. TOP: Cardiac Catheterization
18. You are caring for a patient who has received moderate sedation for a procedure at the bedside. Which task can you delegate to the nurse assistant during this procedure?
Assessing sedation score
Obtaining blood pressure
Monitoring respiratory rate
Recording urine output
The task of assisting with IV moderate sedation, including the pre-procedure assessment, cannot be delegated to nursing assistive personnel (NAP). In most agencies, an RN or health care provider assesses and monitors a patients level of sedation, airway patency, and level of consciousness. Roles in monitoring depend on scope-of-practice guidelines as determined by state regulations (see agency policy). You could delegate to assistive personnel the task of recording urine output.
OBJ: Describe the health care team collaboration and teamwork required before, during, and after procedures, including delegation to nursing assistive personnel. TOP: Conscious Sedation
MSC: NCLEX: Safe and Effective Care
MULTIPLE RESPONSE
1. The patient will be undergoing moderate intravenous (IV) sedation. The nurse needs to assess which of the following during the procedure? (Select all that apply.)
Airway compromise
Combativeness
ANS: A, B, C, D
Patient risks during IV sedation include hypoventilation, airway compromise, hemodynamic instability, and/or altered levels of consciousness that include an overly depressed level of consciousness or agitation and combativeness. Emergency equipment appropriate for the patients age and size and staff with skill in airway management, oxygen delivery, and use of resuscitation equipment are essential. During and after the procedure, patients need continuous monitoring of vital signs, oxygen saturation, heart rhythm, lung sounds, and level of consciousness.
2. The patient has undergone a cardiac catheterization. It has been 2 hours since the catheter and sheath have been removed. Which of the following would be a concern for the nurse recovering the patient after the procedure?(Select all that apply.)
Swelling and hardness at the catheter insertion site
Complaints of itching and urticaria
Urine output less than 30 mL/hour
Low back pain radiating to both sides of the body
If hematoma or hemorrhage is present at the catheter insertion site, apply pressure over the insertion site, and notify the health care provider or physician if interventions do not stop the bleeding, or if the patient demonstrates symptoms of acute blood loss (hypotension, tachycardia). If the patient has an allergic reaction to contrast medium manifested by symptoms of flushing, itching, and urticaria, continue monitoring the patient and assess for anaphylaxis. Notify the health care provider. Renal toxicity from contrast can be detected by monitoring intake and output. Urine output of less than 30 mL/hour is a sign of renal toxicity. Low back pain radiating to both sides of the body is a hallmark sign of retroperitoneal bleeding.

Marvel’s Runaways finds UK TV home on SyFy UK
Staff Reporter | On 28, Mar 2018
Reading time: 2 mins
Marvel’s Runaways has finally found its UK TV home on SyFy UK.
Hulu’s superhero series, based on the comic books created by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona,tells the story of six diverse teenagers who can barely stand each other, but must unite against a common foe – their parents.
Every teenager thinks their parents are evil. But what if they really were? When six L.A. teens stumble onto a terrible secret, they realize their parents have been lying to them all their lives. But what are their parents after? And why? While the kids investigate, the adults start to wonder if their kids are hiding secrets of their own. The parents close in on the truth just as the kids uncover a plan with devastating consequences. Now, this unlikely crew of teenagers must band together to stop their parents before it’s too late.
Starring Rhenzy Feliz, Ariela Barer, Lyrica Okano and Gregg Sulkin, the series first aired in the US in November last year, but struggled to find a UK broadcaster. Now, SyFy UK has offiially snapped up the British rights to screen the series, with the first episode set to premiere on 18th April, a few months after its finale was released on Hulu.
Runaways is created by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, who also serve as executive producers and showrunners on the show. It has already been renewed for a second season.
Its arrival comes as the UK also welcomes FOX’s Legion back onto its screens – a fellow superhero TV show that brings a unique new slant on Marvel world as we know it. While Legion shared ties with FOX’s other X-Men series, The Gifted, it is not connected to the wider MCU. Runaways, on the other hand, is officially connected to the MCU, although there are no plans for crossovers with other networks’ Marvel series, such as Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger on Freeform or Marvel’s New Warriors. One way in which Legion and Runaways are connected, though, are that they are both available through contract-free streaming service NOW TV, which costs £7.99 a month and gives live and on-demand access to SyFy UK, FOX UK and a number of Sky channels, including Sky Atlantic and Sky 1 (home of DC series Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow).
Here’s a trailer for Runaways:
Marvel’s Runaways Season 1 is available on Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalk TV and BT TV until 3rd June 2019. Don’t have pay-TV? You can also stream it legally on NOW TV, which gives live and on-demand streaming access to Sky’s main TV channels, including FOX UK (Legion) and Sky Atlantic (Billions, Westworld), for £7.99 a month – with no contract and a 7-day free trial. It is also available on Amazon Prime Video, as part of a £5.99 monthly subscription.

China spends big on IPR royalties, values innovation more
China has been lavishing money on intellectual property right (IPR) royalties with a 20-year streak of double-digit growth amid efforts to close a longstanding gap in technology and innovation.
China's external payments of IPR royalties rose 24 percent year on year in 2018 to 35.8 billion U.S. dollars, resulting in a deficit of 30.2 billion dollars, the latest data from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) showed.
This marked an average annual growth of 22 percent from 1997 to 2018 in the IPR royalty payments.
The fast expansion represents not only the country's strong demand for advanced technology to support its economic development and industrial upgrading, but also its enhanced IPR protection and respect for innovation, SAFE said.
STRONGER DEMAND
The payments mainly came in the computer, telecommunication, electronics, auto manufacturing, ship-building and aviation sectors, which accounted for more than 40 percent of the total. The United States, Germany and Japan were the top three exporters.
Stronger IPR protection is a requirement of foreign enterprises, and even more so of Chinese enterprises.
Although growth is shifting down a gear, China remains a dynamic market full of opportunities, striving to build an economy reliant on technology and innovation. In 2018, the contribution of technological advances to China's economic growth rose to 58.5 percent, according to this year's government work report.
In pursuing innovation-driven growth and fostering new growth drivers, China has recorded stellar growth in home-grown innovation on the back of lavish investment and better IPR protection.
China's spending on research and development increased to 1.96 trillion yuan (about 293 billion U.S. dollars) last year, about 2.18 percent of its GDP. The number of patent applications saw a year-on-year increase of 16.9 percent, amounting to 4.32 million at home and abroad.
According to the Global Innovation Index, China's global ranking in terms of innovation jumped from the 22nd in 2017 to 17th in 2018.
Qi Aimin, an IPR expert with Chongqing University, said the large deficit in IPR royalties reflected discrepancy between the country's insufficient IP supply and rapidly-expanding demand.
"The data also show Chinese firms have a rising eagerness on IPR investment and compliance in competition," Qi said. "Though the deficit is going to persist, it will narrow in the long run with China's IPR-related capabilities growing."
BRIGHTER PROSPECT
A new report by U.S. think tank Information Technology and Innovation Foundation showed China's high-tech manufacturing value-added grew from 30 percent in 2006 to 77 percent in 2016.
If this growth rate were to continue, China would exceed the United States in high-tech manufacturing value-added by 2020, according to the report. The report said it was a misconception that China was a copier, as it could and does innovate.
In addition to fostering stronger home-grown innovation prowess,China is assuming a greater role in international cooperation in IPR-related issues. China has been active in contributing wisdom to the development of international rules on IPR, and cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a typical example, said He Zhimin, deputy chief of the National Intellectual Property Administration.
It has established cooperation partnerships with more than 40 countries participating in the BRI and offered IPR training programs for experts and officials from nearly 30 of them, He said.
The country also advocated joint efforts with BRI-participating countries in fighting IPR infringements and creating enabling environment for IPR protection, he said.

From Mountains to Jungle: Tulcan to Mocoa on the ‘Trampoline de la Muerte’
Crossing into a new country is normally an exciting time. You always have the minor hassle of actually doing the paperwork and getting the stamps but so far we have never had any problems and we are usually underway with renewed excitement pretty quickly. The border between Ecuador and Colombia was a little different. For us the process was much the same as any other border, but for any of the hundreds of Venezuelans waiting to cross it was undoubtedly a more anxious time. Knowing that all of these refugees were fleeing from a country that is rapidly running out of food and medical supplies, all while their dictator of a president lives the high life was heartbreaking. The huge Red Cross and UNICEF tents hammered home just how bad things are getting.
Sadly we didn’t get much of a chance to talk with any of the Venezuelans because we were tourists and were ushered to the front of the queue to be dealt with as soon as possible. Possibly for the best. How can you tell someone in that situation, “We are just here for an adventure, for fun”? We cant imagine what it would be like to have to leave your country without knowing when or if you could return. There were many families with large sack trucks or wheelbarrows carrying literally everything they had left while they slowly made their way to a new country in search of a more stable life. Worse than seeing all of the displaced Venezuelans was knowing that these are the lucky ones, the ones that have got out and have a chance to start something new while the tragedy in their home country continues to exacerbate.
So the day had started on a very sombre note, but we actually finished our ride somewhere that had quite the opposite feel to it. The church at Las Lajas is built on the site where supposedly a miracle occurred and a mother’s lost daughter was brought back from the dead. There has been a shrine in the location since the miracle occurred but it has been rebuilt and updated several times in the last couple of hundred years. The current church was built in the early 1900s and while relatively small it is quite beautiful. Set deep into the canyon and straddling the river in the bottom many Catholics still make a pilgrimage here to seek their own miracles. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and there were plenty of other visitors there, both tourists and church-goers.
Covering many of the walls around the church are plaques put there by people thanking Our Lady of Las Lajas for a miracle or favour they have received. We managed to find one from just a few days before we were there, so she’s obviously still doling them out. The church itself is impressive but it also houses a museum of pre-Colombian artefacts within its lower levels. Showcasing the pre-Colombian art, history and culture of the region it was interesting to look around.
Despite being less than 10km from Ipiales, the border town, we had been advised by other cycling friends to stay the night at Las Lajas as the church is lit up at night in a neon light show more likely to be found at a fairground than a church. This turned out to be great advice and wandering down to the church for a second time that night was equally as enjoyable as seeing it in the daylight. It also helped that the place we had been recommended to stay was great. The Casa Pastoral is a religious centre/spiritual retreat that is mostly used by people coming for events down at the church. There was nothing on when we were around so we had nearly the whole place to ourselves and it was super peaceful.
From Las Lajas we headed into the Colombian Massif, to the city of Pasto. While not a very touristy place it is where cyclists heading north need to decide which mountain range they wish to follow, Colombia has 3. It’s around here that the Andes splits into 3 mountain ranges, like 3 fingers pointing north, unsurprisingly known as the western, central and eastern ranges. We headed for the valley between the central and eastern cordilleras to take in a road known as the Trapolin de la Muerte (Trampoline of death). With such an amazing name we knew it had to be a fun ride.
Leaving Pasto we had a big climb up to this lake, before the Trampoline started
Rainy day goals: Big lunch while clothes dry by the fire
Cyclists love rain… honest
Unlike Bolivia’s Death Road, the trampoline is still actually used as a road, meaning we would have traffic to contend with. It turned out not to be a problem though because despite the road being very steep and narrow in places the trucks that form the bulk of the traffic are moving so slowly its pretty easy to avoid them on a bike. The ~65km of rough dirt road drops from 2770masl all the way down to 670masl with a lot of undulation and precipitous drops along the way. As we descended from the top the temperature steadily rose and the vegetation became ever thicker, signs that when we reached the bottom we would be on the edge of the jungle region of the country.
There was enough space for lorries to pass us easily. Not so much if you were a car.
Along the way we met a German couple, Tomas and Karen, that were travelling in their camper van. They had stopped for lunch on a rare wide section of the track and they shared some tea with us while we swapped stories from the road. Admittedly the camper van life is probably a little more comfortable than the bicycle life but going down that road I would much rather have been on my bike. Every time vehicles from opposite directions met one of them would have to reverse until they found space to pass. With hundreds of switchback turns and normally a huge perilous drop to the side I cant imagine it was a huge amount of fun, unlike riding it on a bike, which was great.
#Vanlife
Two ambulances disappearing into the mist… ominous.
Until that point we had spent all of our time around the Equator in the mountains. It was only when we arrived in Mocoa, the city at the bottom of the trampoline that it became abundantly clear how hot it is here when you aren’t at altitude. The heat and humidity were pretty intense, as was the dense jungle encroaching on every space as yet unpaved by man. We decided to do a hike out to a well known waterfall known as the Fin del Mundo (End of the world). Even though this area isn’t the real Amazon basin rainforest it was a chance for us to get a bit further into the jungle, an experience we have yet to have on this trip so far. We saw monkeys swinging in the tree tops, birds and butterflies of many different colours and strange insects that I wouldn’t be able to name. The noise of the insects was incredible, the tropical jungle really isn’t a quiet place!
The river in the bottom of the valley after the Trampoline. Welcome to the Jungle.
Leaf cutter ants I presume?
Plenty of other waterfalls to see/swim in on the way
The Fin del Mundo was pretty touristy but it was also awesome. The river flows over the edge of a rock shelf and the water cascades 80m down over the sheer drop. Once the park rangers have strapped a harness onto you you can crawl right to the edge to look over into the abyss (though it is a very lush and green abyss). Steph was really not a fan, even lay on the ground looking over the edge brought on some minor vertigo.
80m straight down. The camera doesn’t do it justice.
Our campsite near Mocoa…
…above a fish pond!
With our little detour to the jungle done we began our trip north once again. One thing that has been noticeably different in Colombia in comparison to Ecuador is that there is very little on the road. Towns and villages are further apart, and there is hardly anything between them. We imagine the terrain has a lot to do with this, the abundance of steep valleys and canyons all wrapped in dense tropical jungle makes finding places to build very difficult. But Colombia’s history must also play a part in this. Until a decade ago the Farc were still active throughout the country, and this along with the previous ‘Narcos’ years pushed regular people to the cities for safety. Colombia’s recent history is fascinating and it’s something we want to speak more with locals about as we head north. For now though we have plenty of peaceful roads to take us there.
Quiet roads and friendly local cyclists, yes Colombia.
Que le vaya bien,
Ben and Steph
PS. We are currently A few weeks behind with our blogs, expect more soon. In the meantime we have updated the map with our actual location! You can check it HERE
Sally Powles says:
Fabulous! Thank you. That church is exquisite. Stay safe both, love from sunny England!! xxx
unscriptedride says:
Thanks Sally, glad you liked it. Crazy that it seems almost as sunny there in the UK as it is here in Colombia. Almost!
Julie Morgan says:
It is good to hear your first accounts of Colombia. It sounds like an interesting country so far, and different again to those you have visited previously. The church at Las Lajas was very unusual and impressive, as was the waterfall. The “death road” sounds like an adventurous, if somewhat hair-raising ride too. I actually think that the “death road” in Bolivia was still in operation as a road when we went down it in 2005 (albeit in a minibus)! I hope you don’t encounter those nasty little biting flies, now that you are back in the lowlands again… The rainforest sounds great though – we love taking in the sights and sounds of the rainforest. Solana also loved the leaf-cutter ants we saw in the rainforest in Costa Rica.
We celebrated Isabella’s birthday a couple of weeks ago, when she turned 2. She enjoyed herself – and has rapidly developed a liking for both presents and cake! Then last week was half term – I had to work 3 days that week but we managed a trip up to Teesside to visit my family for 2 nights; it was Isabella’s first time away since she moved in with us, so we were a bit nervous about how it would go – but happily it went quite well. We now feel a bit more hopeful about family holidays for the future, and we plan to take the girls up to Scotland at Easter to visit Laura’s family. We have another parents evening for Solana in a couple of weeks – it will be interesting to hear what they say, especially as her behaviour hasn’t been as good at home since her little sister arrived!
Buen viaje,
Julie, Laura, Solana & Isabella x
Thanks guys, Colombia is very interesting and like all of the other places we’ve cycled through, has similarities and differences to the previous country. Wow I’m not sure how I’d about riding the Bolivian death road with traffic, scary! Luckily the Trampolín isn’t quite that bad, unless it’s wet. Ooh you can tell Solana we saw some leaf cutter ants in the jungle too, they were mesmerising watching them work so hard and carry huge bits of leaf! Aww happy birthday Isabella, it’s great that she had a nice day enjoying her presents and is happy to travel. Hehe hope the parents evening goes well!xx

Notes from the Board
February 28, 2019 by WUUC
At its meeting on Feb. 5, the Board finalized adjustments to the Director of Lifelong Learning compensation package and took up the issue of congregational covenants. A task force of the Board has composed three draft covenants with a nested design: one devoted to relationships among board members; one devoted to relationships between the Board and the Interim Minister; and one that outlines the Board’s hope of how a covenant of right relations might work across the entire congregation. As part of that discussion, we also exchanged preliminary ideas about forming a committee for congregational Right Relations. As well, the matter of the Board holding executive meetings was raised as an issue of concern.
.The Board is undertaking completion of a UUA-required Interim Ministry Appraisal and appointed a task group to work on compiling the views of individual board members and members of the Transition Team. (Note: the Transition Team provides feedback and advice to the Interim Minister. The congregation is welcome to give input to the Transition Team whose members are Chick Sweeney (co-chairperson), Alaine David (co-chairperson), Chuck Bean, Leslie Morton, Cora Goss-Grubbs, and Robin Heffelman.)
The Board will begin the process of forming a Ministerial Search Committee by developing a script for conversations with all church members to solicit nominations to the committee. Board members will hold small group conversations on March 3 and March 10 before and after Sunday service to get the most people covered, then follow-up with phone calls to all members not yet represented. Jim will email information to the congregation.
At its second meeting of the month on Feb. 28, the Board developed a composite answer for each of the questions on the Interim Ministry Appraisal based on the numerous individual responses received. The Interim Minister completes her own appraisal as well. In March, the Board and the Interim Minister will exchange these finalized appraisal documents. The Board further discussed governance and covenant issues at this meeting, as well as the potential creation of a Right Relations team. It was decided to postpone further development of this new team until later in the year.

Window on Eurasia: Bishop Diomid Raises the Stakes in Orthodox Church Dispute
Vienna, July 30 – Embattled Bishop Diomid has again raised the stakes in his dispute with the Moscow Patriarchate, repeating that he will not repent but adding that he has no intention of leaving the Church or obeying orders from its current hierarchy, many of whose members, he says, are behaving more like communists than like Christians.
Even as it celebrates what most observers consider only a short-term tactical victory in Kyiv by slowing the formation of a single autocephalous Ukrainian Orthodox Church (www.sobkorr.ru/news/488EEBFB71230.html), the Moscow Patriarchate faces a new challenge from Bishop Diomid in the form of a telephone interview he gave “Dukh Khristianina.”
(That interview is available in full at www.portal-credo.ru/site/?act=monitor&id=12595 and in summary form on a variety of other Russian church sites. And along with other recent news about Diomid’s dispute with the Patriarchate, it can be found on the site his supporters have launched and maintain: www.diomid.info.)
In his interview, which was conducted by the magazine over the phone with Diomid who remains on Cape Shmidt because of bad weather, the bishop said that he is “not a splitter and will not separate himself from the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate.” Instead, he said, the Patriarchate had separated itself from the faithful.
“One need not leave the Church,” the Bishop continued, but at the same time, “one must not subordinate himself to heretics and to the heretical hierarchy [whose members] are leading us all to hell and to apostasy.”
Noting that many in the hierarchy regularly “curse the communists,” Diomid noted that these same people absorbed many communist ideas, including an aversion to democratic methods and the rule of law. As a result, he said, they are violating canon law and will not convene a church council because “they are absolutely indifferent to the opinion of the people.
Archbishop Mark and his team, Diomid continued, have seized churches, burned icons, and even attempted without success to get the civil authorities to move against the bishop’s supporters – for details on that, see in addition zaveru.ucoz.ru/news/2008-07-29-707 – thus showing their contempt for civil law as well as canon.
In an indication that he continues to have widespread support among the clergy in his see, Diomid said that Archbishop Mark’s declaration that any priest who does not subordinate himself to Mark and the Patriarchate has no basis in law. Indeed, he said, Mark’s actions are only driving more people toward Diomid and his supporters.
Diomid said that the archbishop was seeking a criminal indictment against him, supposedly for corruptly using 8 to 10 million rubles (320,000 to 400,000 US dollars) a year in church funds, a charge that the bishop said was absurd on its face given the size of his eparchate and its obvious poverty.
When he arrived in Anadyr in 2000, Diomid said, he had “all of ten packets of candles” and his see’s largest town had no more than 12,000 residents. How could he possibly be making eight million rubles a year? the bishop asked rhetorically. Apparently, Mark has failed to understand the difference between a city see like Khabarovsk and a rural one like Chukotka.
Metropolitan Kirill, the second most powerful member of the Moscow Patriarchate and someone often thought to be in line to succeed Aleksii II, said this week that time is running out for Diomid to repent. But Diomid insisted that “the time is coming when the Lord will put everything in its proper place,” one very differently arranged than the way Kirill hopes for.

Mohawk rolls by Lakota
Josh Morgret
PHOTO BY PAT GAIETTO Mohawk's Jesse Leeth gains yardage as Lakota's David Frye defends Friday in Kansas.
KANSAS — Mohawk could not have scripted a better opening quarter Friday against Lakota.
The Warriors scored on their first two drives and never looked back, topping Lakota 34-8 in the teams’ opening game of the season.
“I think we did things well offensively,” Mohawk coach Brent Konkle said. “It shows that our offensive line has been together for three years now. I think we delivered the ball well when throwing and we got up the gut and got some good running plays. We established the line of scrimmage early.”
After the Raiders punted, Bryce Kirian busted off a 36-yard run into Lakota territory. The Raiders quickly settled and forced Mohawk into a fourth-and-3 situation, but Keith Jenkins found Zach Hayman for 6 yards. One play later, Jesse Leeth rumbled in from 8 yards out for the touchdown. The extra point was blocked, but Mohawk led 6-0.
Lakota picked up a first down on its next possession on the legs of junior running back Trevor Franks, but esd forced to punt. It took the Warriors just five plays to cover 66 yards, the last 35 on a touchdown pass from Jenkins to Hayman. Jenkins then ran in the two-point conversion with 1:54 left in the first quarter.
“They did what we wanted to do,” Lakota coach Mike Lento said. “We wanted to score on our first drive, but it did not happen. They came out and scored on those first two possessions. There are things we have to work on.”
Lakota advanced into Mohawk territory for the first time just before the first quarter ended. The Raiders had a first down at the Mohawk 20, but an incomplete pass, a holding penalty and a sack all but deflated the drive and Lakota turned the ball over on downs.
Connor Powell intercepted Jenkins on the next Warriors offensive possession, putting the Raiders quickly back at the Mohawk 16-yard line. After a few short rushes, Lakota freshman quarterback Josh Matz completed his first pass — a 10-yard pickup to Carter Reinhart. One play later, Matz pushed in from a yard out for a touchdown. Franks ran in the two-point conversion and the Raiders were within 14-8.
“Our biggest point was to score in the red zone,” Lento said. “We got in there and drove the ball. We have not done the quarterback sneak, so we told Josh to get in the end zone and score and he did just that.”
But as all good teams do, Mohawk did not wait long to respond. Runs of 12 and 9 yards by Leeth got the Warriors into Lakota territory. The drive belonged to Leeth, as he gained the final 25 yards of the drive over three carries. His last, a 14-yard sprint up the middle, gave Mohawk a 21-8 lead after Kedryk Leeth’s extra point.
Mohawk opened the third quarter half on a roll, picking up chunks of yardage before Hayman took a jet sweep over the left side 44 yards for a score and a 27-8 lead.
“Lakota is big and that is not our strength,” Konkle said. “We are not huge up front, but we are quick. We have to learn to bend, but not break at times. Lakota did not drive the field much on us. We are pretty happy defensively.”
Lakota slowed the pace down, using a heavy diet of Franks to move the offense down the field. The Raiders picked up four first downs and ran 15 plays over 8:38 of game, but came up short at the Mohawk 9-yard line, ending the long drive with zero points.
“If we score when we get in the red zone, it is a whole different ballgame,” Lento said. “That is what we are trying to teach the kids to do. We have to capitalize when we can capitalize.”
Mohawk added a 4-yard touchdown pass from Jenkins to Hayman after the Warriors blocked a punt.
“I thought offensively we had it clicking tonight,” Konkle said. “Lakota has a young secondary. I have been there and done that. They are trying not to give up the big play, but we had some nice passes and some nice runs.”
Lakota also held possession for the final 6:57 of the game. The Raiders this time ran 13 plays, but only got to the Mohawk 30-yard line when the game ended.
“We want to get to Mohawk’s level,” Lento said. “We are still teaching guys drills, while Mohawk is setting up to rock and roll every drill they do. They are a well-coached team and they played hard.”
Franks finished with 37 carries for 145 yards.
“It does not matter who the quarterback is,” Lento said. “We are going to give the ball to our workhorse. We are going to give him the ball 30 to 40 times a game. We need the offensive line to respond and get hungry and block for a back like that.”
Leeth ran 10 times for 75 yards while Hayman had six catches for 75 yards. Kirian added 57 yards on the ground for the Warriors.
Konkle was not surprised at all with the amount of carries that Franks got.
“If I had Franks, I would use him a lot too,” Konkle said while smiling.

Graduated Driver Licensing Laws — A Comparison
Posted on July 14, 2019 by adam
A national model for Graduated Driver Licensing Programs has been around since the mid 1990s. Guidelines for states to produce their own GDL programs is provided by the model. Presently, no state follows all of the guidelines, and GDL applications vary widely from state to state.
The recommended guidelines are:
Stage 1: Learner’s Permit
State sets least age for a learner’s permit at no much younger compared to age 16;
Pass vision and understanding tests, including rules of the road, signs, and signals;
Completion of fundamental driver training;
Certified adult (who is no less than 21 years old) required in the vehicle at all times;
All occupants must wear seat belts;
Teenage-passenger restrictions;
Zero alcohol while driving;
Permit is visually unique from other driver licenses;
Must remain crash and conviction free for a minimum of six a few months to advance to future level;
Parental certification of 30 to 50 practice hours; so No use of portable electronic communication and entertainment devices.
Stage two: Intermediate (Provisional) License
Completion of Stage one; State sets least age of 16.5;
Pass a behind the wheel road test; Completion of advanced driver education training (safe operating decision-making, , risk education etc.)
All occupants need to put on seat belts; Licensed adult required in the car from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. (e.g., nighttime steering restriction);
Driver improvement actions are set up at lower point level than for standard drivers;
Provisional license is visually distinctive from a regular license; Teenage-passenger restrictions: no more than a single teenage passenger for the first twelve weeks of intermediate license. Afterward, limit the number of teenage passengers to 2 until age 18;
Must be crash and conviction totally free for at the least 12 consecutive a few months to progress to another stage;
Supervised practice; so No use of portable electric entertainment and communication devices.
Stage 3: Full Licensure
Completion of Stage 2;
State sets minimum age of 18 for lifting passenger and nighttime restrictions; and Zero alcohol while driving.
Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
In order to understand the range of dissimilarities among states, let us check out the GDL laws of four states: California, Florida, Mississippi, and North Dakota.
The NHTSA recommends the state sets the minimum age for a learner’s permit at no younger than age 16. In California, the least age for a learner’s permit is 15 years, 6 months; in Florida and Mississippi, the minimum age is 15. The minimum age in North Dakota is 14.
Before acquiring a license or perhaps restricted license in Florida, fresh drivers need to have a required holding period of the learner’s license of 12 months; the other 3 states require six months. In Mississippi, license candidates age 17 and older are exempt from the holding period. The NHTSA recommends an intermediate (provisional) stage with a minimum age of 16.5. The candidate needs to stay crash and conviction totally free for at least six a few months to move forward from the learner’s permit to the intermediate level. They more propose that in the intermediate license phase, the candidate has to remain crash and conviction totally free for no less than twelve consecutive months to progress to complete licensure.
The NHTSA suggests parental certification of 30 to fifty practice hours of traveling in the learnerâEUR(TM)s permit level. While California and Florida each require 50 hours, 10 of which must be at night, neither Mississippi and neither North Dakota call for certification of any driving practice several hours.
Applicants in Mississippi must be age 15 years, 6 months before getting a license or perhaps restricted license. Florida, North Dakota, and California call for a minimum age of sixteen; however, in California, license candidates who don’t get driver education must wait until age 18 for a license. The NHTSA recommendation is for detailed licensure just after completion of the intermediate licensing stage, with a minimum age of 18 for lifting passenger and nighttime restrictions. But, North Dakota does not have any passenger or nighttime restrictions, and Florida and Mississippi have just nighttime restrictions. California’s passenger restriction is that for the very first 12 months, the restricted driver might not have any passengers younger than twenty, with restricted exclusions for immediate family.
One way to boost the website traffic crash figures for teenage drivers is to advocate for much stronger Graduated Driver Licensing requirements in the state of yours. In the meantime, you are able to bring down the risks for your own kids by ensuring that they obey existing GDL laws as well as by using several of the NHTSA’s guidelines into your own house rules if your state has somewhat weak GDL laws.

Drama series ‘eHostela’ premieres on Mzansi Magic
eHostela is a new local drama series which debuted on 10 January 2019 on Mzansi Magic at 8PM.
The series stars famous South African actors and actresses including Zola Nombona, Bheki Sibiya, Wiseman Mncube and many more. The 13-part series, which is produced by Stained Glass Productions, chronicles this world through the eyes of young inkabi Mndeni (Thobani Nzuza) and was entirely shot in KZN.
Mndeni, the adopted son of respected ring leader Mancinza (Bheki Sibiya) has ambitions of leaving this world behind to focus on his true passion – maskandi music. All seems to be going to plan with Mndeni’s commitment to one last hit, but his loyalty to the family is suddenly questioned when he meets Khethiwe (Lungelo Mpangase) at a maskandi competition and allows himself to fall in love. The thorny details of his last hit are soon revealed, and the young assassin’s life is suddenly plunged into turmoil.
Viewers will quickly be choosing sides between Mndeni and his more violent brother Jama (Wiseman Mncube), Mancinza’s biological son and assumed heir to the family business. Despite both brothers being inkabi, Jama is the polar opposite of Mndeni, driven by ambition and a ruthless hunger for power. Jama’s rage and jealousy spirals out of control when it’s revealed that Mancinza planned to leave the family business to the more reclusive Mndeni.
Meanwhile, a local police force incapacitated by fear dare not set foot in the infamous Delafuka Hostel’s surrounds. Detective Brightness Sithole (Zola Nombona) has been transferred to the region and she has a lot to prove in this hostile male-dominated setting. She is assigned to KwaDela Police Station situated just outside the dangerous hostel.
Sithole believes that The Brotherhood are the cause of the lawlessness in the community and is hellbent on breaking the world of corruption, murder and crime. Her partner, Detective Nkomo (Martin Ziqubu) is widely respected in the community and highly celebrated in the police force. He lost his former partner to the Delafuka Hostel, when the hitmen sent a strong message to the police about their “territory” and Nkomo has an axe to grind.
eHostela plays every Sunday on Mzansi Magic channel 161 at 8PM.

The calm stretches allow us to relax, reflect, and enjoy the scenery – but when the rapids draw near, it gives everyone the chance to dig in, to do their part and trust the others to do theirs. At the end of an exhilarating run, there’s nothing like the feeling of overcoming difficult challenges.
We’ve found the lessons learned on these trips are lessons most people take a lifetime to learn – if they are lucky. Most are not.
The Magnificent Scenery
Along the Colorado River in Canyonlands National Park
The expedition takes us through some of the most remote country in the United States. Deep in the heart of Canyonlands National Park, the Colorado River takes us through scenery most people will never see in person. Beautiful red cliffs, the water changing from blue, to red, to green – the sandy beaches, lush vegetation and bright blue skies.
Floating the Colorado is like going back in time. Our guides show us the geology, the ecology, and wildlife and the history of the canyon that spans centuries remaining essentially unchanged.
Getting Ready to Set Out
The preparation requires a lot of planning, a lot of gear, and instruction from our experienced guides. After a long drive to get to the launching point, there is a lot of excitement and anticipation as we finalize our preparation and set out into the calm river.
The first part of the river is calm, beautiful, serene, and relaxing. We take time to swim, talk, nap and get to know each other.
The quiet of the canyon is amazing. No cell coverage, no electronics, no hurry. Through the disconnection, we connect with each other and our surroundings.
Camping in The Wild
A Beautiful Beach on the Wild Colorado River
Half way down the river we come to a large sandy beach in a protected cove where we set up camp for the night. The beach provides a fun area to play football, frisbee, and have fun.
The sun goes down quickly deep in the canyon, and when the last of the western light fades the sky turns black and the stars shine brighter than you’ve ever seen. Being so far from civilization there is no ambient light so the visible stars are amazing. Even the milky way is visible across the night sky in a huge milky band.
With the darkness comes the chorus of frogs birds and other wildlife who welcome the cool evening air, and you’ll often hear the song of the coyote far off in the distance. There’s nothing like it.
Sights Along the River
Hiking to See Ancient Ruins and Beautiful Views
Along the way we stop to take short hikes to the rim of the canyon to see ancient ruins of people who lived in the canyon centuries ago. We see petroglyphs on the canyon walls and the large rocks with black patina from thousands of years of baking in the sun.
From the rim we can see the river below and fertile areas where the ancient people grew corn, squash, melons, and other life sustaining foods. To see how hard ancient people must have worked just to survive makes us appreciate the dinner we know is waiting for us at our campsite.
The River Wild!
Whitewater After the Calm
“DANGER” reads the sign warning of the upcoming whitewater rapids ahead. We stop and change into our whitewater gear, put on our safety helmets, separate the rafts stowing everything but our oars and make sure everything is tied down and secure.
One final set of instructions from our guides gives us the plan on how to attack the rapids. Everything is done on purpose with planning up front, there is no winging it here.
The excitement and anticipation is intense as we set into the water above the rapids in our individual rafts – each person ready to work together with their oars to guide the craft around the rocks to miss the huge depressions in the water and the massive waves that follow.
The ride is intense, exhilarating, physically demanding and on the other side it is unanimously named the most incredible thing we’ve ever done.
As we float further down the river we relive the ride, each with his or her own recollection of each crazy turn, each pounding of the water, and the heroic effort to move the craft to the right spot in the rapids.
Controlled chaos. Without planning, preparation, guidance, and experience of others it could be dangerous. But with a well executed plan we all arrive home only bumped and bruised, a little sunburned and tired, and taking with us memories we will relive for a lifetime.

We Hope You’ll Join Us..
It’s more than fun, it’s an adventure of a lifetime. We’ve designed the trip especially for students, alumni and their families. Throughout the trip we have time to play, time to think, time for solitude, time to stretch and do things you may never have thought you would do.
Getting into the wild and experiencing everything it takes to get safely to the end of a wild river is the perfect metaphor for life, its challenges, changes, uncertainty, and victories.
We’ve had some of the most memorable experiences of our lives on this river. We hope you’ll join us.

Spotlight: A Movie Review
TOPIC: Spotlight: A Movie Review
Spotlight: A Movie Review 3 years 7 months ago #399863
RealMsH
Here is my review of the movie Spotlight. This movie review is mine alone and does not reflect the views of www.allgames.com.
Introduction of the Spotlight Movie Review
Spotlight is a movie I did not rush out to see as soon as it came out. Reason being I was not impressed by the movie preview or the panel discussions about the movie from the cast who appeared from time to time on talk shows before Spotlight was released .
What drew me to see this movie was the star of the movie, Michael Keaton. I enjoyed watching Michael Keaton act recently during his award winning performance in the movie Birdman and was hoping he could replicate a similar type performance in Spotlight. Unfortunately, my expectations were not fulfilled. This was not the fault of Michael Keaton's acting skills, but rather, in my opinion, the storyline that did not lend itself to show how much of a renowned actor Michael Keaton is.
Media Format in the Spotlight Movie
In my opinion, some real-life drama topics flourish in the movie-make-believe format. However, in some cases, I believe due to the seriousness or far-reaching implications of actions depicted in the movie -- some topics are more effective as true documentaries. I think the subject covered in Spotlight fit that criteria.
Focus of the Spotlight Movie
Throughout Spotlight, you will see groups of people sitting around having meetings that center around bringing to the forefront -- once again -- the egregious problem of Catholic priests engaging in inappropriate actions with children. In the movie, it is clear that this topic for a news story was covered years before with no tangible results. In other words, no changes transpired when this story was reported initially.
Fast forward a few years ahead, this subject comes up as a possible story to be covered by a group within the Boston Globe newspaper known as Spotlight. According to the movie, Spotlight consists of a group of reporters who covers topics that are highly secretive. When the story regarding the inappropriate behavior of Catholic priests resurfaced, it was given to Spotlight to cover, headed by Michael Keaton's character.
From my perspective, Spotlight was more like taking a course in Journalism 101 on how to cover a story that will implicate and reflect negatively on those sometimes held in high esteem. In my opinion, this story did not have the makings of a blockbuster movie or one that I will want to watch once it goes to DVD. Even as an expose, I think this movie erred on the side of maybe trying not to offend some of the movie-goers who may be of this religious faith.
In my opinion, I think the movie as a documentary showing that these actions by Catholic priests happened and are still happening with nothing being done to stop them -- would have had a more lasting effect -- instead of, in my opinion, a movie drama showing Michael Keaton and others chasing down a news story. During a talk show, the actors sat at the table with the actual reporters involved with the story. Instead of focusing the discussion on what the story was exposing, more attention, in my opinion, was given on how the actors mimicked them going about their jobs as reporters.
Suspense in Spotlight Movie
Suspense was non-existent in the movie Spotlight. I knew from the get-go that Michael Keaton's Spotlight group would get the story published about the Catholic priest. There was a part in the movie where suspense was suggested dealing with how empty boxes of evidence were found, including the question of what happened to the documents. However, I would classify this incidence as being mysterious instead of suspenseful.
Low to No Impact of Problem Depicted in Spotlight Movie
Spoiler Alert: Of course Spotlight is a movie with movie actors and movie scenes rather than specific calls to action. However, given the seriousness of the allegations from this movie, I think the ending of the movie could have issued a message to the effect that now is always the time to take action against those who abuse others who hold them in high esteem. Instead, at the movie conclusion, lots of locations, both domestic and international strolled on the screen showing where these unfortunate incidences have occurred.
Assessment of Spotlight Movie
I did not see the level of commitment I expected from the movie Spotlight on this topic. It appeared as if triumph for Spotlight came not from addressing the problem with inappropriate behaviors from some Catholic priests -- but from successfully having a story published about it. Since this story is being told from a newspaper angle, maybe there were restraints as to how far the movie could go in addressing the problem. However, the above being said, in my opinion any mechanism used, whether it is be a movie from a newspaper stance about this problem, or some other way -- is a move to hopefully stop this problem from reoccurring over and over again.
Rating of Spotlight Movie
On a scale of 1 star to 5 stars with 5 stars being the highest, I give the movie Spotlight 2 stars.

Elaine Goodale and Charles Alexander Eastman "Ohiyesa"
After finding the Newspaper clips from 1891 I found these photos from various archives and family collections I have more pdf files and can send them along if you e-mail me.
Charles Alexander Eastmam "Ohiyesa" was born on February 19, 1858, near Redwood Falls, Minnesota. His mother, Wakantankawin (Sacred Woman) or Mary Nancy Eastman, daughter of well-known painter Seth Eastman, only survived her son's birth by a few months, so he was called Hakadah (the Pitiful Last). His paternal grandmother, Uncheedah, raised him, first in Minnesota and then, after the US–Dakota War of 1862, in Canada where his family had fled to safety.
See Elaine Goodale Eastman PBS Special Raised in a sheltered, puritanical household in New England, Elaine Goodale Eastman (1863–1953) daughter of Dora Hill Read and Henry Sterling Goodale followed her conscience and calling in 1885 when she traveled west and opened a school on the Great Sioux Reservation in South Dakota. Over the next six years she witnessed many of the monumental events that affected the Lakotas, including the inception of the Ghost Dance religion and the fallout from the Wounded Knee massacre in December 1890. She also fell in love with and married Charles Eastman, a Dakota doctor with whom she had six children, and went on to help edit his many popular books on Sioux life and culture.
This biography draws on a newly discovered cache of more than one hundred letters from Elaine that were collected by one of her sisters, Rose Goodale Dayton, as well as newly discovered family correspondence and photographs. Previous books about Elaine—including her own autobiography—emphasize her work on the Sioux reservation and association with her famous husband. Access to her personal papers, however, enabled Theodore D. Sargent to shed new light on the dynamics of her thirty-year marriage to Charles and its ultimate demise, the importance of her own literary contributions during this period, and the challenges and successes of her life following their separation. The result is a long overdue multidimensional portrait of the relationships and aspirations that impelled and troubled this fascinating woman and her extraordinary life.

Charles Eastman Jr. (Ohiyesa), d. January 15, 1940, Detroit, MI
Goodale Eastman wrote a memoir about her experiences as a school teacher of the Sioux called Sister to the Sioux. The manuscript, which is property of the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College, was published posthumously in 1978 by the University of Nebraska Press

There's that grain of truth that Native American blood is in the family and we are are related to the Eastman's tradition. A very distant cousin. My line is from Isaac, son of Robert, her line is Robert's son, Zachariah. A single grain of truth ignites a telling of a family story. It just isn't the truth you thought it would be.

Hardwired...To Self-Destruct
Tenth studio record from the metal stalwarts, a double album
Blackened Recordings
An album that sees Metallica extend their legacy by saluting it. Print edition only
Freed from that angst, the group sound more savage, more inspired and, crucially, more fun than they have for a quarter of a century. Print edition only
8.0 | PopMatters
The subject matter might be bleak, but there’s a lust for life on this album that will leave a smile on the faces of their millions of fans, and even on a few of those grumpy old ones
The mostly epic-length tracks are melodically assured furies of serial riffing and tempo shocks
8.0 | NME
Metallica still – in their fifties – remain both vital and innovative. And nobody in rock has earned those plaudits more
The band chugs through a landscape of glowering riffs, lightning-flash solos and scorched-earth drumming
8.0 | The Observer
Their 10th album is an attempt (and a more successful one than 2008’s patchy Death Magnetic) to replicate the glories of their first three. The back-to-basics approach serves them well
8.0 | music OMH
There’s plenty of returning to old ground, but this is not a derivative record
8.0 | The Guardian
Some judicious editing could have made it a classic, but either way this is a triumphant return to form
8.0 | All Music
What impresses here is the thought and musicality within the compositions and the performances, elements that have always been at the band's core and shine brightly on Hardwired...To Self-Destruct
8.0 | Clash
Some of Metallica’s strongest work since 1991
8.0 | The Digital Fix
A welcome return from the Bay Area boys, may they continue for years to come
7.5 | Spectrum Culture
If this is the group stripped free of its self-imposed limitations, Metallica may be ready to cast off the burden of being a legacy act in favor of reclaiming its place at the top of the metal mainstream
7.0 | FasterLouder
While Hardwired… is far from a perfect Metallica record, it’s easily their best album since 1991
The best Metallica record in 25 years, but it’s not going to blow mind
7.0 | Sputnik Music (staff)
If you’ve followed Metallica beyond the black album, you’ll find a very good, honest, release in Hardwired...
Metallica's latest attempt to revisit their early days: the only difference is that this time the band sound like they’re actually trying, and maybe even having a bit of fun
Despite its comparatively humdrum second half, however, there is a twisted pleasure to be found amidst the debris
Though it will undoubtedly exceed listener expectations, Hardwired… still shows Metallica are at their best when they're loud, fast and mean
6.0 | The Arts Desk
If the best of what’s here had been presented on one disc, it could lay claim to be the best material the band has put out in a quarter of a century
6.0 | No Ripcord
Not a perfect album by any means. It's too long, with too many tracks that go nowhere. But those songs that do work are some of their best in the last couple of decades
This is essentially the same stuff they released in 2008, and since there are 77 minutes of it, it's entirely too much of the same stuff
At nearly 80 minutes, it’s understandable for an album like Hardwired to have lulls, but it grows too comfortable too early, and even then it still trips and falls over itself
5.5 | Gig Soup
21st century Metallica has been polarising, and while ‘Hardwired…to Self-Destruct’ might be a step up, it’s nothing new
Hardwired… to Self-Destruct is better at mimicking old Metallica than Death Magnetic. Even so, there’s an undeniable hollowness to the record
5.0 | A.V. Club
It’s not so much that Metallica is incapable of writing a good song in 2016; it’s just a little too complacent to write a truly great one
3.0 | Drowned In Sound
The idea of Metallica returning to their Eighties highs in 2016 is, ultimately, faintly ludicrous. Nobody in the universe needs the new Metallica album to be anything more than a respectable excuse for the band to keep touring the world

Neanderthal culture: Old masters
PART. 2
Minds at work
Disputes over whether Neanderthals were capable of symbolic thinking turn on a smattering of discoveries spanning more than 200,000 years.
300,000 ya - First appearance of Neanderthals in Europe Neanderthals are thought to have originated in western Eurasia and migrated into Europe some time after 300,000 years ago. NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM/MARY EVANS
250,000 ya - Ochre use - Not not long after Neanderthals appeared in Europe, they were using ochre. The pigment can serve for decoration, but it also has practical uses.
120,000 ya - Sophisticated hafting of spear points - By heating birch sap while protecting it from the air, Neanderthals made a glue for attaching stone flakes and points to spear handles. NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM/MARY EVANS
60,000 ya - Possible Neanderthal feather use - Cut marks on wing bones suggest that Neanderthals may have used feathers from crows and raptors as ornaments. FINLAYSON, C. ET AL. PLOS ONE 7, E45927 (2012)
50,000 ya - Shell beads from Spain - Neanderthals seem to have worn pendants of coloured shells before the arrival of modern humans in Europe.
45,000–43,000 ya - Modern humans appear in Europe - Teeth found in the Grotta del Cavallo in Italy mark the arrival of modern humans there as early as 45,000 years ago. By 43,000 years ago, modern humans had reached Britain, a jawbone from Kents Cavern suggests. BENAZZI, S. ET AL. NATURE 479, 525–528 (2011)
45,000–40,000 ya - Animal tooth pendants from Grotte du Renne, France - The teeth of foxes and marmots found in Grotte du Renne were grooved or pierced so that they could be worn as pendants. Many archaeologists believe that Neanderthals made them, but arguments continue about whether the ornaments reflect the influence of modern humans.

Listen to this! Can you believe that a poor lady who had two sons first lost her husband at a relatively young age, then lost both her boys to death? Then this lady became so bitter about it, that she changed her name, and would you believe what she changed it to? “Bitter!”
That’s not all, her pagan daughter-in-law loved her so much that she stayed with her through thick and thin and finally married an older man who gave her a grandchild! She loved this grandson so much that all the neighbors said it was like he was her son!
Well, that’s just one interesting case. Here’s another one. A young fellow who was a dreamer, so angered his brothers that they actually wanted to kill him! He was wrongly accused of a crime, and thrown in jail. Yet this same young man grew up to eventually become a world leader! He was such a great leader that he was able to save his own country from financial disaster as well as the country he grew up in where his family still lived. His family was forced by sheer need to move to the country where he was serving and they met again! What finally happened is so amazing I can’t even put it into words!
I think I have time for one more. Did you hear about the beauty contest winner that foiled an attempt by a wicked scheming world leader to wipe out an entire race of people? Amazing, but true! If you are a BBN BI student, you very likely know exactly who these people are, don’t you? Yes, sure enough, it is Naomi and her converted pagan daughter-in-law, Ruth, in the first account. The second one is of course Joseph and his brothers. The last one is the riveting account of Esther and the wicked schemer, Haman, found in the Book of Esther. These accounts don’t even begin to scratch the surface of the great Bible characters we have to study in our free online BBN Bible Institute. These courses are found in the 40000 Division in the BBN BI at www.bbnbi.org. We trust they will be a blessing to you.

"speech" 'thought' text
tw: death of human and animals, blood, profanity, a lot of violence, breaking bones, guns, mentions alcohol.
Two days, it didn't seem like a long time. 48 hours, well probably around 56 hours if he was keeping absolute track, which he was. Michael had done this before, and just like the last time it felt like going through hell, perhaps it was a good taste of what was to come. His face glistened with sweat, his appetite was non-existent, and when he did force himself to eat he either felt like shit, or didn't end up keeping the food in his system for that long. And yet, it had been 56 hours since his last drink.
He looked down at his shaking hands and sighed inwardly, it wasn't that he was exceptionally weak at the moment, just a bit unsteady. Quitting cold-turkey seemed like actual torture, and he would give anything to have another drink, well, not anything he reminded himself angrily. He hated who he was when he drank, and yet he had continued drinking more and more to the point of self-destruction. It was a matter of survival now for him to quit. And so far he had been rather successful.
Trembling fingers ran through the soft, silky fur of one of his two canines. He hadn't seen the other in a few hours, which was beginning to worry him. Aurum was pregnant after all, and the dog shouldn't be too far from him, though he would never cage her up, put her on a chain and keep her next to him at all times, it was something he could never do. He looked at his companion Argentum and smiled weakly, a pounding beginning to thrum in his head, like the bass line of a very drum heavy song.
The soldier winced at the sounds crashing in the back of his head, and made up his mind. He would go for a walk on the beach, nothing made him feel better than walking along the ocean shore, the smell of salt air stinging his lungs and eyes, the sound of the ocean drowning out nearly every intrusive, angry thought that tried to worm it's way into his brain. As he made up his mind, the muscular man pulled his coat on over a fairly clean hoodie, and slipped from his small beach house, his grey-blue dog following behind him like a silver shadow.
At first he thought the figure in the distance was just a trick of his mind, something coming from his withdrawal from alcohol, but as he neared it was obvious that it was not. A figure lay splayed out on the sand, it's golden fur muted with fresh, and drying blood. It's jaw still locked around the leg of a very angry looking man. Mike recognized the man faster than he cared to have. It was a figure from his past, a person he had hoped was dead. But it seemed that he was not so lucky, and with a twisted feeling in his stomach he stepped forward, his eyes torn between staring at the unmoving figure of Aurum, and the sinister man standing over her.
"Nathaniel." His voice seemed to be torn from his chest, the sound wrenched from deep down, full of pain, anger, anguish. His eyes fixed on the face of the guilty party, and his hand went immediately to his gun, but before he could pull the trigger, two gunshots rang out. One, two. He felt one of the bullets tear through the flesh in his arm, and while he did not drop the gun he was propelled backwards a few feet. It took him a few seconds to see where the other shot had landed, he would have moved towards the now still figure, but the man was still alive.
Seconds later his own gun fired, once, he caulked the gun again, twice and again, three times three shots hitting his opponents chest, the man's body lurching backwards with every shot. In his head he knew that one bullet would have sufficed. But he could not let that man die without pain, not for what he had done to Mike's only friends. As the man fell to the ground, Mike sprinted forward, kicking the gun from the grasp of Nathaniel. "Why?" He inquired coldly.
He watched Nathaniel smile weakly, his face pale, "You would never feel this much hurt from dying yourself. You always were weak." There was sickening laugh, well whimper more like, it seemed that one of the bullets had ripped through the man's chest, emptying into one of his lungs. Serve him right, he deserved the pain. Swiftly, without thinking, Michael grabbed the man's arm, snapping it deftly, and watching the smug expression change to a stomach turning grimace. "I will break every bone in your body, and even after that, I'll leave you to be eaten alive by the gulls on the beach."
Michael felt no sympathy as he began to systematically break bones, starting with the smaller ones before moving his way to the center. The pelvis broken, he paused in his work to wipe the scarlet blood from his hands, his arm was throbbing from the bullet that had torn through his flesh. "Fuck." With a swear he tore a piece from his undershirt and wrapped it around the bullet wound, using a stick to tighten the bandage to the point of almost cutting off circulation. Almost.
The man nodded satisfied before getting back to his revenge. It would not bring the dogs back, but it would certainly make him feel better, and in a few hours the ocean would wash away any trace that this had happened. Each rib was crushed by Michael, pressing down with his heel, and then stamping down, he got a gasp of pain from Nathaniel from each, his reactions growing weaker and weaker. Finally there was nothing left to break, well, aside from his neck, but that would put him out of his misery.
He was about to slam his booted foot into the man's face, even though he didn't want to let him die so easily when at tiny sound caught his ears. His head jerked towards the source, it was coming from Aurum, the golden dog, but the animal was already dead. However, it seemed that she had given birth, there were three stillborns, never to know the joys and sorrows of the world, but there was one living pup, one looking much like her mother, a beautiful golden puppy, her eyes still closed.
Michael stopped, sprinting towards the animal and scooping her up, placing her in his jacket, it was only after seeing his own blood, her mother's blood, and Nathaniel's blood on the innocent creature that Michael realized the full extent of what he had done. If he was this dangerous while becoming sober, perhaps he shouldn't even, he shuddered, falling to his knees, his body suddenly exhausted. He wasn't crying, nor was he laughing, perhaps a slight mixture of the two. It was hard to think straightly with his mind so muddled and his heart racing so fast.
There he knelt for hours, the tide slowly creeping in, until he was reminded of reality by the biting cold of the ocean, and the small whimper from the motherless pup. "Jesus." He whispered, grasping his rosary. He couldn't say he was shocked, or horrified, even angry at himself. Probably not even repentant, but he crossed himself nonetheless, his attention turning back to Nathaniel who hadn't moved, eyes fixed on him, for a moment Michael thought the man was dead, but he was not.
He had no energy now, nothing, he couldn't say anything as he knelt in the water, the tiny creature clutched to his chest. What was he supposed to do? The swirling ocean water around him rippling, swirling red with the blood from Aurum and Argentum, his own blood, and Nathaniel's blood. He had no idea what he was going to do... what he was supposed to do.
[ author's note: i have no words to describe how i feel. ]
« Last Edit: January 08, 2019, 11:39:08 PM by MICHAEL. »
Michael Ford is a 45 year old, man, he's stubbornly loyal to whatever cause he chooses, protective of his family and friends, he's a grunt in the Badlands. Michael has issues controlling his anger in most situations. He is a difficult opponent and well trained, feel free to power play nonviolent interactions though.

Re: welcome to the jungle >> open; 100th post!
There was no one single face that could take the blame for every misfortune in their life. There'd been several people responsible for various miseries, and no one stood out as especially bad. Well, perhaps Derick; his influence on their life had... perhaps not been the best, he'd gotten them to do some pretty bad things and had hurt a lot of people, but he wasn't responsible for the deaths of their loved ones, or anything like that.
The sun was beating down heavily, making them squint. Today's rounds had brought them past the beach, and for a moment they almost passed, but then they noticed the figures there. One was laying on the sand, the other kneeling in the sea. Weird. They walked over, noting that the man crumpled in the sand wasn't their own and was beaten beyond hope of healing. The other figure was Michael, and he was clinging to a puppy. Not far away one of his dogs was lying, apparently dead. "You had quite a night, didn't you?" They asked, stepping over the body (Jesus, he was still alive) and towards Michael.

APPEARANCE dress me up and watch me die
⇥ Catalyst is 6'2" tall; they possess a lean and muscular body, one that has a variety of old scars adorning it. They have two piercings, one in their tongue and the other in the cartilage of their left ear. They typically dress in dark colors (favoring jackets with some sort of writing on the back), and their hair is black. They're not all dark, however, as they have pale blue eyes that peer out from beneath medium-sized eyebrows.
PERSONALITY if it feels good, tastes good, it must be mine
⇥ Catalyst is ambitious, with the cunning and ruthlessness to reach their goals by any means necessary. They can be brutal when they feel it is needed, however when it's not they won't bother. They tend to be rather aloof and apathetic to most things and people, with some very rare exceptions. Provided those around them don't cross a few specific lines, they're content to leave them be, though they've been known to take an interest in some people, which seldom has a positive end for whoever their interest is in. They can be manipulative, and will often encourage people to make bad decisions. Those that stick by them will be rewarded, but those that do not will be cast out, as they've been outcast for their entire life and have learned to appreciate loyalty wherever they can find it. Even during the most stressful of situations, they usually keep a firm grip on their temper and keep their calm, though when they do snap and lose their temper, it is uncontrollable. They're remarkably observant, often able to deign much from subtle clues in what people say, how they say it and how they act.

[ mentions of blood ]
Gabriel could not say that he had any sworn enemies, especially personal ones. Anyone who posed a threat to him in any way could be considered an enemy, he supposed, but he did not currently hold a personal vendetta against anybody. After all, he had only been out and about in the world for less than half a year and had not been around long enough to make any enemies. Hopefully he never... would. Although, at least he'd know how to put up a fight if it came down to that.
Gunshots, he had heard several of them coming from the beach. The sound was never good, and although someone could have just been aiming at targets, Gabe could never be too sure. Who was he to cower and hide in the corner of his room? He was a Chamber now, someone who was of high status among the group. He needed to confront his problems, not flee from them. The boy slipped on his sneakers quickly and whisked down the street and to the beach. What he found was blood, lots of it, and a messy scene before him. "What..." He trailed off, blue eyes widening in surprise as he surveyed the b r o k e n body on the floor as well as Michael who was clearly hurt and bloodied as well. Gabe moved forward cautiously, taking care with each step. "What the hell?" Who was this person, who was barely even breathing? What had happened to his dog, and why was he nursing a newborn puppy? There were so many questions that Gabriel could have asked in that moment, but that was all that came to mind for now.
LIKE A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER
——————————— I WILL LAY ME DOWN
tw: mentions alcohol, blood, profanity, themes of violence
Michael knelt motionless, the pup still clutched in his arms, perhaps if he had acted sooner the puppy could have been saved. It had been the runt of the litter, barely alive at birth, and slowly dying. It had been too weak to survive in the cruel world. A harsh reality that Michael did not wish to face as the puppy's limp form was clutched to his chest, and still he could not move, his breath was ragged, his eyes fixed on the spot where Nathaniel lay, still alive... though barely.
He only moved his head, finally, when the sound of someone approaching caught his ear, Cat wasn't a threat though, and Michael could tell it was the leader by the way they walked, they'd been here long enough to identify some things about the people around him, it helped him not be quite so on edge... though he supposed it didn't matter all that much if he broke someone so completely as he just had.
Mike slowly rose to his feet, the limp form of the puppy falling from his arms to the ground. What was the use? Taking a deep breath he waited for a minute, not trusting himself to speak just yet. His eyes were red, and it was probably something that Cat would notice, the boss was quite observant. "What of it?" He inquired almost dismissively, though the situation at hand was anything but subtle.
He didn't feel like explaining his actions to anyone, even himself. And having to talk about the raw emotion that had been wrenched from him seemed worse than being shot repeatedly, something which he had experience from. There were a number of bullet wounds that were at various stages of healing, some freshly inflicted that morning, some two or so decades older. Whatever the injury though, Mike remembered the when and the where, and when it was applicable, the why.
Just like he never forgot the face of a person he killed, he knew the ones who cried, who begged, who pleaded... he could tell others of the ones who had been strong and stoic to the end. The young, the old, the ones who deserved it, the ones who didn't. The faces haunted his dreams, his memory, even his waking hours, and the screams, the sobs, the pleading, that didn't go away either. Gabriel had said something, it took a few moments for him to comprehend.
It was an exclamation of disbelief... or shock, Mike wasn't sure which. But it was obvious the boy was not used to seeing situations like this on a daily basis. "Fitting. That's where he's headed." He nudged the broken body of the man with a booted toe, listening to the wince and whimper of pain that came from Nathaniel's lips. "Fucking psychopath!" The man's voice was barely a whisper, and it sounded pained... Michael huffed, good.
"Should probably get this cleaned up." He added coldly, as if his two closest friends in the world hadn't just been murdered. And as though he had not just broken many bones in a man's body, leaving him to drown in the ocean or his own blood that was slowly filling his lung as he thought. There was no sentiment in his voice, just a matter of fact statement.
To say he wasn't grieving though, would be a gross injury to Michael, he was barely holding himself together, but he knew that this was not the time or place to show such weakness. Yes he had loved his canine companions with every particle of his heart, but loss was not something at all new to the man.
Perhaps there were people out in the world that would be happy to see Catalyst dead. Actually, they were quite sure that "perhaps" was "definitely", though the names had comfortably faded since there was no one Cat especially wanted dead. Well, there was Jeremy, but the two were giving each other a wide berth for the time being. It was for the best, but they both knew that a clash was inevitable. Catalyst may take their time in enacting their revenge, but unless they truly forgave something or let it slide completely (a rarity), the revenge would inevitably come.
Their eyebrows twitched upwards at the response, and they surveyed the scene before once more returning their focus to Michael. "I shouldn't have to explain my interest, that should be clear enough on its own." They said, crossing their arms. "Though perhaps your mind is a bit addled right now. Happens to the best of us." They drummed their fingers against their arm, trying to decide how best to word the next sentence. "You wanna dictate how this gets cleaned up or leave it to me?"
tw: alcohol, blood, profanity, violence
Michael frowned as he listened to Cat, honestly, the fact that the boss was trying to nudge their way into this was a bit annoying. He had no real intention of letting anyone know about his past if he could at all help it. Though sometimes there were situations where he did need to let some information slip, but that was his choice, not Cat's, not Creed's, not Willy's, not anyone. He frowned slightly at that last name sneaking into his thought, Will had been dead for so long, why must he come back to haunt him again?
Mike knew why, Will's daughter, Mike's goddaughter was here now, and the fact that Creed was around, alive and breathing tore at his heart despite the fact that he pretended not to have one. He sighed softly, taking deep breaths to slow his increased heart rate, and calm himself down enough to remember what the conversation was. Honestly, he wanted nothing more than to drown his memories in alcohol, but as much as he wanted it, there was none on his person.
He wasn't sure how to explain this though, and finally he just shrugged, "Sorry boss, you're right." Was Cat really right though? Mike tried not to lie, though sometimes he felt it easier to do so than to escalate a situation, not that this situation could get much worse. "He's a face from my past, and he shot my dogs." There it was, he killed the only things that had mattered to Mike (up until Creed had sauntered in so nonchalantly.)
He frowned again at the question, shaking his head as he began to nod, no, there was something he needed to do first. "Give me a sec boss." Kneeling down beside Nate, Mike felt a cold sensation crash over him, his heartbeat slowed, his mind cleared, and as he leaned his head forward letting his lips brush the man's ear, he began to whisper.
"I know what I did, I live with what I've done every second of my life. But if you think that coming here, plotting all these years to kill me, to make me suffer somehow makes you better than me, you're wrong. You never deserved him as a brother, and your actions today prove that." He paused listening to Nate's shallow breathing, and listened to him whisper his own words, "You never deserved him... he was always too good for you, and when he finally realized that, you killed him, son of a-". Mike cut off his whispered response, with one of his own, his soft words a hiss, "I know where my final destination is, I've made my peace with it. But if you think for a second that you'll be going to heaven, that you'll ever see your brother again, then you're more deluded than I thought," Michael moved his head away for a moment, licking his lips before continuing louder.
"You're here, dying slowly, and I'm still alive, the only thing you succeeded in doing, Nate, is sealing your own fate." Mike pushed himself to his feet, grunting at the painful sensation that stemmed from the gunshot wound. He looked towards Cat, and shrugged his shoulders, "He's all yours boss." The man answered, not sparing the near-dead corpse a glance.
He didn't care if anyone had heard the whispered conversation with Nate, which made him wonder why he'd whispered it. Michael didn't have an answer for that, all he had was a feeling that perhaps, perhaps he had set right the scales, had done justice do his companions though they now lay dead on the beach. Would he bury them? No, they deserved a blaze of glory as their souls drifted to heaven.
He staggered forward and sank into the sand breathing heavily, right now he just needed to rest for a few minutes, wait for Cat to do... whatever the sadistic fuck wanted to do with Nate... Mike certainly didn't care.
//tw for murder
They stood back while Michael spoke to the man in hushed tones; they caught a few words here and there, but most of the conversation went unheard by the Top Dog. Finally, Michael stepped back with a brief "he's all yours, boss". Without hesitation they stepped forward, bringing out a pocket knife with a small click. They knelt beside Nathaniel and pushed their sleeves back, then with an efficient movement drew a deep cut through Nate's throat. Cat wiped the blade on the man's clothes then stood up, tucking the knife away. "I'll give you a minute. C'mon, kid." The latter was said towards Gabriel; they jerked their head to the side and started heading away from the scene.

Silly Names for Cars
In a worrying development for the automotive business, the marketing director for the new Ford Twat has admitted that they are running out of stupid names for cars. Saddling models with labels that are ridiculously inappropriate, unwieldy or just plain daft is a tradition which dates back to the very earliest days of the industry. Appellations like the Daihatsu Scat, the Ford Probe and the Renault Wind follow the glorious pattern set by those early pioneers who brought us the Daimler Flange, the Renault Kevin and the Mercedes Benz Trumpet Endurance.
Whilst it is tempting to wonder what kind of infantile brain fart resulted in the moniker applied to the Ford Ka, there was surely a perverse form of surrealism at work when they came up with the Honda That's, and the thinking behind the Volkswagen Thing portrays a bleak and utilitarian mastery of the art which verges on the postmodern. Probably.
The success of the Dacia Duster might seem to indicate that there are no real concerns as yet, but coming so soon after the Chamois, the Clothes Brush and the 2.0-litre Turbocharged Super-Mop, it displays a worrying lack of originality.
And Ford, which has traditionally been at the forefront of silly names, seems to be struggling more than most. Rumours have emerged concerning its proposed new 3-door hatchback: it has variously been referred to as the Concrete Bicep, the Vol-au-vant and the Belch, but we hear that serious consideration is being given to just calling it a Fiesta and having done with the whole thing.

What Has Changed Recently With Floors?
February 19, 2017 Advertising & Marketing
Tips on Getting the Right Floor There are many flooring materials available and selecting the right material can prove to be a daunting task because each material had its own advantages and demerits and it is also affected by other factors such as the room usage and the floor of traffic hence this process just becomes even more complex but by following a key criteria when evaluating the common types of flooring materials the buyer can come to a good buying decision. Hardwood is an all-time favourite material among many people because of its durability and the natural warm feel that it exudes and because of these two features it has always been a good choice of flooring material for most homeowners and even among the various kinds of wood oak wood remains the most favourite but other woods like cherry or exotic trees like Tasmanian oak are still worth checking out. The other good thing with hardwood floors is that they come in a variety of styles ranging from parquet, plank and prefinished boards that the owner can not only select from but can even install himself without the need to hire a professional to come and do it for him. Laminate is another popular flooring material and it is even easier to install than solid wood hardwood floors and it also saves the buyer some coins since it is cheaper than wood and the main reason why these materials are called laminate is because they are made up of different wood-based materials that are either laminated or layered together then topped up with a wood grain photographic imprint on each face of the board. A common variation of true laminate floors are engineered wood floors which are made up of real hardwood veneer that is attached to plywood layers which make them more expensive than laminate is actually real wood and not a photographic imprint and it is this top layer that gives engineered wood floors a more convincing feel, sound and more appealing look than laminate.

Bamboo floors, on the other hand, are not made up of trees, but a lightweight woody grass that is fast growing and regenerates quickly but has the tensile strength only comparable to steel and this is what makes the floor very durable and it even resists swelling and contraction that occurs due to variations in humidity. It is good to note that the bamboo plant is grown in controlled forests and it takes a maximum of three years to mature compared to old-growth hardwoods that take twelve decades to reach full size and the other good thing with bamboo is that it comes as a pre-finished and engineered product that has tongue-and-groove joints just like natural hardwood.The 10 Laws of Floors And How Learn More

Zanellazine: A Ceramic Haven In The Hills
Varese, Italy–Nestled in a hilly town that lies between Milan and Turin, the Zanellazine workshop is full of jovial sculptures, clay pottery and even Japanese Raku ceramics – pieces of art that resonate the world of design, as they do in fashion. In fact, one of their cartoonish catctus sculptures was featured in Architectural Digest earlier this year, chronicled as a coveted design piece of style maven Margherita Missoni Amos.
As we enter the Varese-based studio, co-founder Lucia Zamberletti (who also designs for Missoni Amos’ kids wear line Missoni Kids) is pressing a leaf of cabbage onto clay and curling the newly formed leaves with her hands to form a blooming vase. Nearby, folkloric feminine figures adorn the studio – most of which are bare chested, abstract figures with flowers sprouting out of their heads or are crossing their fingers in protest behind their backs. They are the hallmark of the Zanellazine brand. Called “babe“, a slang term that means witch in Northern Italy, these mini statues are a testament to female power and strength through the ages.
“These babe possess a richness… and maybe we’re a bit baroque, but they reflect the ceramics tradition of the south of Italy and of regions that are no strangers to poverty. The argil clay, which is typical of these regions, allows you to work it in richer ways. I am a huge fan of Sicily, where there is a tradition of making folk ceramics that have a lot of symbology and history,” explained Lucia’s aunt and co-founder, Giovanna Zighetti, a former set designer.
Later, we find Giovanna hands-deep in a mixture of clay and water and is later heating up the oven to complete orders (colourful wall ornaments designed as trays of food) the two have received via their new e-window on design e-commerce Artemest, which has afforded them the opportunity to sell their goods further afield — from New York to Hong Kong. Despite their isolated location, their name and commercial viability is on the rise. Sales generated from internet sales are rising, and last year, they were invited by the magazine House & Garden to showcase at their popup shop on Rugby Street in London.
One of their upcoming events is a cultural fair, which will take place on November 26 (via della Vigna 2, in Morosolo from 10 to 5pm), where more than 30 artisans will sell their handmade goods to raise funds for the , Varese con Te charity.
And while their artisan craft has fuelled them into the burgeoning design world, sculpting started out as a hobby and passion for both ladies. Giovanna has been practicing the art of ceramics since she was 18 years old and completed courses near Venice and in France, in order to perfect her technique.
“I actually learned the traditional technique with the pottery wheel, and various courses in the formulation of the glazes. All of those techniques were learned from top artisans by merely observing them while they worked. Giancarlo Scapin was one of them. He’s a great artisan and artist,” she said, over a cup of espresso, gazing out into the autumn-tinted valley outside her window — a landscape that serves as inspiration for most of their pieces. Her hobby turned into a vocation when she teamed up with her niece Lucia and started their ceramic studio in 2012.
“We’ve always had a certain kind of harmony,” Giovanna added, noting that Lucia infuses innovation and a special sort of energy into the project, given her fashion background in product development and studies at the Instituto Europeo di Design.
Looking back, Lucia agrees that their works of art have a certain fashion flair. One of the most celebrated pieces were little ceramic hand pendants flaring the F-U sign.
“At the end of the day, we are free. Free from any pressures the fashion world has,” Lucia said.

That extraordinarily tall character actor Stephen Merchant wrote (based on a 2012 documentary) and directed this delightful movie, based on the true story of wrestler Paige, who, at age 21 beat AJ Lee to win the Divas Championship belt. Fighting with My Family opens as (real name) Saraya Bevis (Florence Pugh) literally wrestles with her family in their World Association of Wrestling league in small-sized Norwich, England. Her parents (Nick Frost and Lena Headey) are former troublemakers who were "saved" by wrestling, and Saraya and her brother Zak (Jack Lowden) hope for a shot at the big time, with the WWE. They get an audition, and trouble brews when Saraya gets in and Zak does not. So she struggles with a rigorous training program, and a feeling of not belonging among the tall, gorgeous models she's been placed with, while Zak deals with mediocrity and a baby on the way with his girlfriend. Vince Vaughn gets a few zingers in, and otherwise gives a touching performance, as the head coach/trainer who can eliminate anyone at any time from competition. Merchant finds a steady, sturdy combination of hard working-class English edge (innit) and heartfelt sentiment; he gets close to The Full Monty territory without outright copying it (as so many other movies have). Merchant himself plays a funny uptight posh, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has arguably his best-ever role, as himself.

By What Authority Do I Teach?
Don’t ask me why, but most Christians are somehow fundamentally beguiled by the idea of someone controlling a physical space such as a rented or purchased building, as if this is some kind of great accomplishment or astonishing feat of talent. Yet almost any average middle class person or businessman, believer or unbeliever can rent or build a building. So what’s the big deal? I really don’t know. I think it has something to do with how deep false traditions have become ingrained by being so heavily promoted and modeled from the pulpits over so many years. But I can tell you that I marvel at this eerie and incredibly perplexing phenomenon in the church, a phenomenon that transcends all logic and common sense.
Here’s how it pretty much goes. An ambitious salesman-like preacher gets some people together to rally around his vision for grandeur. He rents a space to incubate interest in his personal plan for greatness. He correctly quotes a few Scriptures here and there but misquotes and misapplies many others. (But nobody notices. They are far too busy going along for the ride to even care.) He claims that God told Him to do what he is doing. But no one can verify his story. No one even tries.
Many unwary people are impressed with his charismatic personality and with his steadily increasing number of followers. They are even more enamored with the fact that he controls and presides over a room or set or rooms and because of all this they show inordinate interest in what he has to say. They begin to look up to him in an inappropriate way and the transfer of power begins (or continues if it has already begun).
Once firmly installed in his rental space, over time, the average professing Christian preacher goes on to fast-talk enough money out of “his” people for a large enough down payment to hopefully inspire a bank to lend him a huge sum of money for a permanent free standing church building. Of course this is unbiblical because it is totally contrary to what the Bible teaches about going into debt, but regardless he gets the loan and starts building his dream building anyway.
Once completed, decorated and outfitted with the latest high tech gear or other coveted paraphernalia, he takes his “rightful” position on the throne as the king of the building, just like he was king of the rented space. This new building is just an extension and progression of the budding kingdom that he enjoyed previously in the rented room. He then goes on to pound on the congregation almost continuously for money to pay the daunting monthly mortgage payment for his new palace.
It doesn’t stop here. Lust has no limits. These men are often extremely greedy (see 1Cor 5:9-13) and therefore they are never satisfied with what they have. Because of this they will usually almost immediately begin making plans for an even larger building or facility. And on and on the never-ending cycle goes. Christians are continuously robbed as they keep paying the bill for the silly circus that has come to town.
Now here’s my main point:
Suddenly out of absolutely nowhere men like this gain what I call spontaneous authority in the eyes of many of the naïve people who join or visit the spaces that they control.
That means that a man who had no previous power over someone suddenly now has power to control him or her.
Now we would be remiss if we did not ask what this preacher has really done to truly earn him the right of such power over people, the right to control them spiritually, emotionally and financially? Let us review.
He claims that God told Him to do what he is doing. Of course he has no proof, evidence or eyewitnesses to support his claims. It’s all self-generated hearsay. He is the only one who can verify his own story. But you can find a kook on almost any corner who will claim to have heard some unbiblical nonsense from God. So what.
He rallies some support and assembles a constituency. The political machine is forming fast. Well, any politician in the world can do that.
He quotes and misquotes some Scriptures and so to the gullible he appears to be an expert on the Bible. But the devil also quotes and misquotes the Scriptures.
He has what some people call a dynamic personality and so he impresses his listeners by speaking with charisma. But the same thing can be said of virtually any motivational speaker in the world.
And again, here’s what seems to be the real kicker, the point that seems to be the biggest hang-up of all for most Christians: he controls a building or physical space.
Not one of these is a Biblical requirement of an elder. I urge you to read the real Biblical requirements of an elder such as wee see in Titus 1:7-9. Keep in mind that the words elder, pastor and bishop are pretty much used interchangeably as synonyms in the New Testament. These terms do not represent a stacked hierarchy or chain of command.
7For a bishop [elder, pastor] must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 9Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. Titus 1:7-9
Now, just where do we read here that a bishop, elder or pastor must be a dynamic speaker and fast talker, able to rally and convince people to follow their grand plans, claiming that God told them to pursue their dreams? Where do we see that an elder must be in control of a building or physical space?
Yet, I suppose if someone demonstrates these worldly “qualities” and displays the incredible finesse and “great skill” to obtain and control a room, then I guess we should all just drop our guard, follow them and let them control us as well. Right? Wrong!
Let me ask this question: Are the unbelievers of the world so foolish as to make a mere charismatic proprietor of a building a spiritual authority in their lives, just because he or she can talk fast and control a building or physical space? Not usually. The world is usually much smarter than that. But this happens ALL THE TIME in professing Christian circles.
The world usually requires that a person first be a movie star, rock star or sports star before they will ascribe such ridiculous importance to them or look up to them that much and give them that much respect and power. But there are exceptions. Some people in the world do make gurus out of everyday people. Christians do it all the time. Jesus told us that the world is wiser with money than Christians are. It seems that the world is also wiser in these matters as well.
Not surprisingly, the average “pastor” fully believes in and also relies heavily on this allusive out-of-nowhere false power in order to get whatever it is that they want out of people, which is usually money and volunteer time. They almost constantly remind their congregations about their alleged authority and why everyone should submit to their whims. They play a lot of games and make a lot of claims to try to uphold this power. They twist Scriptures, quote verses out of context and make wild assumptions about authority in the church all in a vain attempt to try to support why they should be king.
Beware of the error of spontaneous authority in the church. Authority and the power to control does not suddenly appear out of nowhere. It rests firmly in the hands of Jesus Christ the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. The Bible says that all authority had been given to Jesus Christ. No churchman has the right to control God’s people. The only authority that we as Christians have in the church is the authority to uphold the authority of Christ and His written Word and to try and convince (not force) other Christians to follow God’s commands. That is where our authority begins and that is where it ends, in Christ who is the beginning and the end.
Those who do not know this or who refuse to accept this are prey for the swarm of predators that have descended upon our land.

Unreasonable passion, irrational exuberance
Tips for being a successful waiter: 1) Bullshit. 2) Bullshit.
July 31, 2009 Daniel Yudkin
OK, I'll admit it: after a 3-week tenure at the Dakota my level of menu-memorization is still woefully inadequate, what with the various side platters, house wines, and surf+turf options available in countless combinations. Truthfully I hardly know the difference between a Ribeye and a New York Strip. But I can't let on to the customers! With a table of four looking up at me trustingly after asking how the Fire-Grilled Rainbow Trout is prepared, the words "I don't know" are an impossibility. Even the age-old cop-out "Let me go check in back!" seems out of the question. There's just too much FAITH in the air! I am waiter, I am the one who has been entrusted with the care of these poor souls...I have promised to take them by their wretched hands and guide them through the dizzying maze of appetizers and entrees and leave them dutifully on the other side, sated and confident in their choice of restaurant. And so, I resort to the best tactic in manual: I bullshit. "Well, sir, one thing I can say with certainty is that our Freshwater Trout is an excellent choice on our menu, and we can also induce that it most likely was a trout that originated and was even raised to adulthood in a home of fresh water."
"OK, but what I asked was how is it prepared."
"A great question. I would be very surprised if our trout wasn't Boldly Seasoned and flamed with gusto over our Fire-Wood Grill. I can also posit fairly confidently that significant parts of the animal were removed in its preparation, including but not limited to the head, tail, and internal organs."
"What about the skin."
"Oh, the skin? Yes, the skin of a fish protects it from harmful microbes and allows it to move in the water with agility."
"No, I mean, is the skin removed in preparation?"

The Body As A Book
A reflection on the practice of performance, 2010
I see the body as a book in which I can learn to read the connections with the self, and with the immediate and the cosmic environments. I use what I read to articulate a performative language that involves dancing, choreographing, and teaching.
I made my first professional appearance in a solo called Iritis in 1979. This solo was the result of a process integrating various dance techniques including the study of Baratha Natyam (South Indian Classical Dance).
The Baratha Natyam technique is deeply embedded in spatial concepts related to the architecture of Hindu temples. This lead me to study architecture and engage in projects based on various modern works of architecture including a study of the Villa Savoye of La Corbusier. At the Villa Savoye I carried out a “Body Survey” with my own body, performers and architecture students. Indian Dance also attracted me because of its codified movement-language that is also part of a larger cosmology. From this I developed an understanding of movement that had no frontal perspective and fully engaged the body by questioning how does movement happens, what language does it create in the dynamics of our environment.
Initially my overall approach was very formal because I was, basically, exuberant, afraid and over-energized and I needed a complex form to channel my states. I needed this complexity to harness this incredible force and rage of movement and to relate it to something larger than myself and to inform me about my connection with all that was around me in an immediate and absolute way. By ‘immediate’ I mean ‘here and now’, and by ‘absolute’ I mean ‘laws of nature and cosmos’.
The complexity of Baratha Natyam was a way for me to learn different layers of an approach to dance as integrative and all-inclusive, as it obliges a dancer to let go of the self in order to let the body become a vector. I saw that architecture and dance have the same requirements. An architect has an obligation to materially manifest the basic notions of light, movement, stability, temperature, acoustics, orientation, concentration, living and organic functions and so on. In its structure, a building has the same laws that any ‘living’ body has. And a body-in-motion is the ideal medium for revealing the interdependence of buildings and body.
While studying Baratha Natyam and architecture, I realized that the most important aspect of artwork is the creation of possibilities—by creating correspondences within the body itself, and then between body, the mind and my environment. At this point I declared that my work was a Space of All Possibilities. The moment that movement manifests also marks the inception of our intention and the materialization of its expression. Just before inception everything is possible. The course of my work became the exploration of ways of never disconnecting from All Possibilities—of tapping into IT at any instant.
As is the case for most dancers, injury and facing pain played a very important role in my exploration of dance and performance. Injuries become teachers. Often when the body opens it hurts—it can hurt physically, emotionally and spiritually. Part of creating possibilities involves the recognition of patterns within us that are obstructive to the core body and then letting them go. Such de-patterning stops interferences within All Possibilities. My injuries forced me to ask myself how movement occurs. Adding to this obsession with injury my enquiries into the interrelationships between behavior and architecture and the body and universal forces, I gradually gravitated toward a body/mind symbiosis strengthened by the Alexander Technique and intensive study of neuroscience. With Chi Kung, and the Chinese Five Elements Theory I started a journey toward an understanding of how energy and matter are one and in constant transformation, and how we, with our organs/senses/emotions/orientation and the connection with the elements, are agents of this transformation within us and without. The key to the performance approach that I have developed is based on an active breakdown of the dynamics at play within us within our environment. Though my practice allows me to immediately engage my world in extremely practical and helpful ways, I have now and them, nonetheless, been classified as a ‘mystic” artist. If mysticism is movement toward the hidden and inexplicable that calls for a commitment to discipline, endless curiosity and scientific method, then yes I would call myself a “mystic”.
Chinese medicine says that is it the sprit that gets sick before the body. This has immense implications in the understanding of economics, politics, emotions, psychology and art. This statement grounds us, gives us a constant reality check that takes us beyond what we think is happening and opens up a space of freedom and spontaneous solution. I pursue this because it gives me profound happiness and infuses me with the ability to listen deeply to others.
I think it is essential to have a discipline that helps you to sustain your work physically, emotionally and spiritually. Therefore I named this approach THE INNER STRUCTURE OF ‘THE BODY’ or ‘cultivating possibilities’. There are many ways to understand how the body can be strengthened (and why we want to strengthen it). I try to orient us around the idea that the inner structure is a conduit for energy. Understanding and cultivating this channeling allows us to optimize energetic and creative possibilities in performance.
In performance, there is an archaic expectation that heroism will arise—a heroism that would take us beyond the limitations of the body. Whatever performance has become, it is still rooted in ritual. It’s something acted out in a social context to address, reveal, or sublimate the human condition. Whether it looks like a dancer is “giving birth to a cube” (as one dance critic said of M. Graham), or whether a dancer has anatomically accomplished what was imagined on a computer (as Merce Cunningham had done), performance is about heroism. or for example in Jerome Bel’s Veronique Doisneau, revealing a member of the corps de ballet as a soloist a lone on the Paris Opera stage, speaking about her career and dancing Swan Lake, as she is about to retire – it is about heroism; or in a complete different way with Steve Paxton extending the individual into the collective with Contact Improvisation. In still, there is the heroism of taking us beyond the limitations of body, individual and ego. In western countries, performing arts need to create a body that is ‘missing’. The impulse is to respond to the current way in which the body is being lived. For example, in a world of mass production and over stimulation, the tendency could easily be toward stillness and the stationary. In an intensely puritan time, the tendency may be toward the sexually charged and licentious. It’s a very reactionary process.
The body is a vehicle for the performer to express what she or he foresees as a necessity to create. A performance-maker chooses the complexity of the layers through which the performance will be revealed. The further ancient performance forms are the more layers are found and heroism is also about the mastering of the codification where contemporary heroism is often about erasing layers to find directness of the expression as if a subject is always to be more of what it is. I believe this is why in some level the idea of ritual can be perceived as “ridicule” to our times for some people since ritual are to peal of the self as a the subject.
Traditional forms of performance were teachings wherein the audience could learn about being a god, a hero, or a demon. This required transcendence. The elements of the performance entirely transformed what a ‘human’ would look like. This transcendence made people look beyond human or other than human. This is how ‘human’ learned about humanity (what it is to be human...by positing near-human). The codes were complex enough to remain mysterious, while being familiar enough to integrate the action with the social landscape. The question of “realness” was skewed in order to see more vividly (to show what was not ordinarily viewable).
This heroism was transmitted to an audience by way of kenosis: emptying as liberation. It required self-dispossession. Such dispossession is rather paradoxical for a performer must have wanted, initially, to appear on stage (as distinct from using the stage to lose identity). To accomplish the desire to appear on stage, the performer must let go of oneself for the language of performance to be alive—and therein lies the paradox. In the traditional Indian dance/theater form known as Katakali, before performing the performer has to empty himself from his body and invoke the god, demon or hero he intends to embody, only to empty himself of the character at the end of the performance and invoke his own person once again.
In the life of contemporary Western performance, usually there is a split between two different processes happening simultaneously within the performance-maker. It is as if the ‘body’ divides to become the body that performs the dramatic vision and the body that goes through the process of transformation to create that projected body. The body that is being transformed is often mixed up with the performer’s personal life and evolution as a human being. What gets performed gets performed through our experiences of ourselves, regardless whether we are aware or unaware of any pathologies we might be carrying along. As one of my teachers has said: “We have pathologized the demons”. There is no judgment in this statement—great art has been made this way as well (when pathology has become the creative motor). In Ancient Greek and Asian forms of performance the techniques that support the ‘making’ of the performance are integrated in a cosmology wherein the physical and the spiritual are in sync with each other. Looking at the body from the perspective of western medicine we see a completely fragmented body. If neuroscience is such a predominant paradigm right now it is because it's morphing into neuropsychoimmunoendocrinology. The necessity to reassemble a body as a whole and not as exploded parts is expressed in many fields of research. This necessity asks us to go beyond the market-oriented “mechanical body” that locks us into limited energy and limited understanding of who we are.
We have to create a “mechanical performing self” where the emptying or kenosis must predominate if we are serious about creating new possibilities. Because the relevance of art is now relevant to humankind in peril, art is more relevant than ever. Are we here to reveal the unseen and to foresee what we could do as artists and humans for the benefit of all creatures, or are we merely having a discourse about the relevance of NOW in relation to the survival of our art sector?
It’s essential to look at performance from the perspective of being bold and seriously active in bringing out all the potential of being alive relative to all beings.
Hyper-specialization has fragmented western culture; and attempts to put Humpty Dumpty back together again often look at the picture one element after another element after another element, instead of focusing on the layering of the understanding of how our organism works as a whole in a mutual entanglement with our environment (as the recent science of epigenetics emphasizes) . The purpose of this writing is not to address ecology in itself, but to arduously look at the art of performance and see how can we relate, through performance, to ecology and economics and the ethos of our culture as a whole, determining who is being effected, who is benefiting from our efforts as performers and to come up with ways in which we can be working together toward desired ends.
Soma in Greek means body or living body – how did somatic works (Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, BMC …) become something separate from the creative works of performance-making? Certainly in Greece in the first millennium BC, individual development and solitary healing in darkness was powerfully correlated with public performance and theater. In the sanitariums of Asklepios, a ‘patient’ could experience both isolation (in a chamber called an ‘abaton’—place of retreat in the dark), and public catharsis in an amphitheater.
In the art of tragedy in ancient Greece, words, music, and dance were completely integrated as one art form. (Even poetry and dance together formed a proper genre known as choropoieia.) The ‘actor” was called the hypocrite. ‘Hypocrite literally means: under crisis, (crisis meaning separation),thus: the one who embodies separation. We can then ask: What is this separation? It is the separation between the mind and body? There is a blank between mind and body and in that blank lies the possibility of accessing infinite connectivity beyond the selfwhere everything can converge. This catharsis or cleansing happens by letting the audience experience the sublimation of the interference and fragmentation that exists within consciousness as a unified experience of self, other and environment. The observation of the breaking down of this unity creates the cathartic experience for the audience that is made whole (made into one social body) by going through the cathartic experience together.
Let’s create the tools with which we can sustain these questions within our works. It’s an everyday practice through which performance takes place in return to remind us that we should keep asking the questions, as the questions are the matter of our becomings.
Excerpt of The Art of the Heart from chapter 49 of Guan Zi.
Can you concentrate?
Can you adhere to the unity of nature?
When the four parts of the body have become corrected and the Blood and Breaths have become quiescent,
You may make your intellect adhere to the unity of nature and concentrate your Heart...
It is ever so that the life of a man must depend on imperturbability and correctness.
The way in which they are lost is certain to be through joy or anger, sorrow and suffering.
For this reason,
To put a stop to anger there is nothing better than poetry.
For getting rid of sorrow there is nothing better than music.
For moderating music there is nothing better than the rites.
For preserving the rites, there is nothing better than respect.
For preserving respect there is nothing better than quiescence.

Home England Mark Ramprakash – In honor of a talent unfulfilled
Mark Ramprakash – In honor of a talent unfulfilled
Civa Bhusal
By Civa Bhusal
It is 1991. Historians will recall this year as the year of impending collapse of the great Soviet Union. In this year, Rajiv Gandhi —former prime minister and the grandson of Nehru— is killed in an election campaign in India. It is the same year in which first election is held in the kingdom of Nepal (late) after almost 30 years. It probably is also the same year the United States has had a first deep look at Iraq and the Middle East. Historians forecast, this year will play a pivotal role in shaping the political and social fate of the 21st century.
It is the same year but on a different note, with the expectation of the entire world on his shoulders, a man called Mark Ramprakash is playing his first test at Lords. Opponent is the great West Indies. Think of Marshall, Walsh, Ambrose, Richards and a young Brian Lara. England wins by 115 runs. Ramprakash makes 27 in both the innings. For a young man, total of 54 runs in a low scoring test match is a decent score but for Ramprakash, it is a failure.
The year is same and now, he is playing second test match of the series. Match is drawn but he fails again with the score of mere 24. England sticks with him for rest of the series but he fails in living up to the expectations of English selectors. The series is drawn. 1991 is a year of disappointment for Ramprakash.
It is 1992. Ramprakash is playing second test series of his life. Opponent is Pakistan. And, it’s the second big failure of his life, which means he has to wait one more year for the next test series.
It is 1993. Finally, he gets a fifty against Australia, after almost two years of his test debut. For his inconsistency, he is in and out of the side. His superb performance at county cricket means, he is always in the eye of selectors. His failure in the international circuit means, selectors often rethink about their decision to stick with him. But, he is still a young man and still not out of the equation.
It is 1998 and some good things happen in the life of Mark Ramprakash. And again, opponent is the West Indies. He finally makes a century. How many years does he wait for a test ton? Finally, it’s a break. Although the Match is drawn, Ramprakash is happy after almost seven years in exile; selectors are even happier.
Unfortunately, happiness doesn’t last long. For several years, nothing substantial follows his gutsy ton. It is already the start of 21st century, and selectors think— Ramprakash is too old to be trusted. Just like a cruel beloved who never looks back at you once she no longer finds you fascinating, English selectors think, enough is enough and they never look back at him. It is 2003 — the same year he becomes the first player to score a first class century against all 18 county teams.
And after almost 14 years since he played his last test, we look back at his cricketing career and say, a man called Mark Ramprakash was a terrific batsman. He was a superb timer of a cricket ball. He was one of the most competitive men you would ever see in a cricket field. Even in the slips, he was so reliable. Many considered him as the most talented English batsman of his generation; some of them even quoted him as the next big thing in world cricket.
Espncricinfo.com has rated him as a batsman of rare talent, combining a classically English technique with an un-English intensity. His first classes records support the portal’s claim while his test records deny the affectionate praise.
With 35,000+ first class runs, average of almost 54 and 114 hundreds, many would have wanted him to see as the next Gooch, Ponting, Tendulkar or even Hobbs. At least people have wanted to see him in the regular playing eleven of the English side. Unfortunately, he became an epitome of talent unfulfilled — a hero who never flaunted his heroism at the stage where it mattered the most. For years, he stood out as the greatest domestic level talent of his generation but never transformed his talent into the stage beyond his backyard. Strange coincidence is that he shared his test debut with Graeme Hick — who in-fact was another Ramprakash in making.
He made 2350 runs in 52 test matches with an average of 27 — the same pair of scores he got in his debut test. His test average is that of a genuine quick bowler who can occasionally bat not that of a person who has hundred hundreds in first class cricket with a staggering average of almost 54. Considering the work load of the modern day cricketers, he could well become the last man to get to hundred first class hundreds.
A failure is an accident. At times, a failure is just being unfortunate. A failure story is a great story because most of the times, it teaches us things that success stories fail in teaching.
Of course, failure is a word to be understood relatively. Such is the fate of human race that people judge an athlete’s performance with the eyes of their expectations. Not all the great seeds grow into a giant tree. Not all healthy children grow into healthy adults. Not all Ramprakash become Sobers, Tendulkar, Lara or Hobbs.

Who are we to judge someone with our pre-determinate eyes?
It is not great to link the word “great” with the word “failure” but considering his international stats; it is my deepest regret to say that Mark Ramprakash is one of the greatest failure stories of all cricketing generations.
It is the summer of 2016, the man has already retired from all forms of cricket and is thus out of the selector’s equation, and I believe— only few of us will deny this bitter statement.

SHEEP promotes literacy with Citizen Archive of Pakistan
The Citizens Archive of Pakistan and SHEEP® have joined hands to promote literacy and inculcate reading habits in children through their newly launched CAP SHEEP® Mobile Library. The CAP SHEEP® Mobile Library was launched at the Frere Hall with students from across Karachi. The launch programme featured a short play performed by students, an art competition and many other exciting activities.
The new CAP SHEEP® Mobile Library is a part of CAP’s Outreach Tours programme, which aims to educate over 8,000 students from low-income institutions in Karachi and Lahore through carefully planned syllabi and through the use of film, spoken word and photography. Most of these students have never been to a public library and neither do they have the access to library resources in their schools and colleges. CAP believes that every child must have access to books and aims to provide these students with the opportunity and access to books through the CAP SHEEP® Mobile Library.
Through this project, CAP and SHEEP® endeavour to involve the wider community by encouraging them to donate books and further promote the habit of reading. CAP and SHEEP® have established collection points in Karachi for book donations and plan to undertake collection drives in private schools and public spaces.
Speaking about this initiative, Swaleha Alam Shahzada, Executive Director and Governing Board Member of CAP said: "Promoting literacy and encouraging critical thinking is at the core of our education program and it is a pleasure to join hands with SHEEP® to instil reading habits in our children. We have always strived to educate the community and feel this initiative will go a long way in encouraging school children to read, leading to a more knowledgeable and well-informed population."
Speaking about this initiative Ayesha Jafar, Marketing Manager of SHEEP® said: “The essence of SHEEP® Lamb is to enhance literacy and encourage reading habits for children. Through this mobile library, we will be able to reach out to children from under resourced schools and give them the opportunity to learn and grow.”
About CAP:
The Citizens Archive of Pakistan (CAP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to cultural and historic preservation, operating in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. We seek to educate the community, foster an awareness of our nation’s history and instil pride in Pakistani citizens about their heritage.

Extreme Caffeine: Progress, Rio Rita
Hot and cold shots of coffee along the East Sixth Street corridor from a bar, a trailer and one of “America’s Coolest Coffeehouses.”
By Mike Sutter | Fed Man Waking | 11.11.11
Progress Coffee
500 San Marcos St., No. 105. 493-0963, www.progresscoffee.com.
Hours: 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Friday. 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday-Sunday.
On the day after Travel and Leisure named Progressive one of "America’s Coolest Coffeehouses," I expected a kind of feeding frenzy, something to spoil everything that was cool about it in the first place, the same way that the second you call something “hip,” it immediately ceases to be hip. But no, Progress was the same as always, a space carved out of a loading dock with a view of the Austonian to the west and the lone smokestack of Austin Pipe & Supply to the east. Hungry for a taste of Austin activism? I was there the day a woman using a wheelchair drew the manager out for a dsicussion about the shop’s accessibility, a "discussion" she started by reaching in and turning out the lights.
Hot: The house cup should be enough, right? Progress Coffee. Sounds bold and thrilling, something to sip on the patio while you watch the well-intentioned but mostly empty Metro Rail go by. In the cup ($2.29/large), not so progressive. Ordinary, static, like the warming vessel could use a good scrubbing to wash away the Thermos-bottle taste. A refill with Italian roast wasn’t much better, and both reminded me of doughnut-shop coffee, something to fill space in the here and now rather than fuel the revolution ahead.
Cold: Iced Lightning ($4.50/large) lands a freshly pulled shot of espresso in milk with hazelnut syrup and chocolate, and the result is that all the coffee flavors express themselves up front, while the sweetness lingers at the back, and the balance leans backward. A hybrid called the Iced Thunder mixes cold-brewed coffee half-and-half with the Lightning, and that sounds more like a cup my speed.
Something extra: A jalapeño-cheddar biscuit with real backbone forms the base of a breakfast sandwich with melted cheddar and an unusual yellow puck of an egg ($4.19). The biscuit is like a savory scone, with a toasted cobblestone top and the density to tide you over for the day’s next struggle.
Rio Rita
1308 E. Sixth St. 524-0384, www.riorita.net.
Hours: 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday-Friday. 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday-Sunday.
The smell of a freshly pulled espresso mingles dissonantly with the sight of liquor bottles above the bar glowing like potions in a Santeria shop: bourbon infused with clove, honey-thyme tequila, habanero-garlic vodka. Rio Rita is one of Austin’s quirkiest coffeeshops, in the sense that it can’t decide whether it’s a bar or a wi-fi park for the overcaffeinated. It solves that conundrum by being both.
But Rio Rita fits in with the do-what-you-want aesthetic of owners Randall and Donya Stockton, whose casual empire includes the Shangri-La dive bar, the music club Beerland, the hamburger joint called Sputnik and half a dozen others. Pardon our eclecticism; we’re under constant reconstruction.
Hot: November’s had its first freeze warning, so I’m using that to rationalize hot chocolate. The Spicy Mayan Mocha ($3.50/small) is more than that, really, with a shot of espresso to trouble the waters, plus chocolate and milk and ancho chile. It’s sweet as Swiss Miss for kids, cut with bitterness and a lingering burn for adults. Toss in some honey-thyme tequila, set it on fire and you could be in Playa del Carmen.
Cold: Toddy coffee over ice, cold-brewed black and strong overnight has become a canary-in-the-coal-mine drink for me, the glass that lets me know if a shop takes its icy obligations seriously. Iced coffee at Rio Rita ($2.50/small) takes on some caramel-colored liquor notes, likely the brain putting two and two together and coming up with Jack and coffee.

New music released today from Plasma Audio & Avantgarde recordings.
Today sees two releases coming from Plasma Audio from Melbourne and a compilation titled Theory of the Avantgarde out on Avantgarde Recordings. Both releases feature music from an East West connection and provides a deep sonic exploration of Drum and Bass music for the ears.
http://plasmacolab.co/
The Plasma Audio release features two tracks. The first is from UK producer Sabre.
Hailing from North London, 30 year old DJ turned Producer Gove Kidao aka Sabre has risen through the ranks of the global electronic music fraternity since his emergence back in 2002; Securing as he goes a reputation as a twisted yet soulful thinker, bringing a grittier sound to the deeper spectrum of Drum & Bass and experimental electronica.
(Taken from https://www.facebook.com/sabre.fanpage/info)
Yoga is a low slung affair with big bass. Slower than drum and bass tempo. For me it's the least exciting of the two tracks on this EP but it's always good to hear a producer known for drum and bass trying new ideas. Take a listen and make your own mind up.
Threat is a deep voyage from Munich producer Cruel Culture and Keosz from Slovakia. It seems that these guys have a synergy in the studio, drum and bass has always been a great place for collaborations and this is no doubt a perfect combination.
Soon he was infected with the drum'n'bass-virus, those dark and mighty sounds which came out 1996 and afterwards and he also began to intensively explore this region of sound.

Theory of the Avantgarde’ brings a label snap-shot of the widespread dnb panorama out there. The goal was to put together a various and different sounding LP, which represented in a large spectrum, a ‘Cosmos’ of what dnb is today, and what an avantgarde of new experimenting artists is gonna bring on for the future.
The musical vibe ranges from the essential techy deepness of ‘Wolf Pack’ by L 33 with the lyrical contribution of MC Bashement, to the steppy oldschool ‘reece-tune’ vibe of Fade’s ‘Swarm’, from the minimal dark funk of M-zine & Scepticz tunes, to the rolling peak time of ‘HLZ – Lost Train’.
The presence of the artists goes from the already well-known names like ArpXP, Dabs & Hydro, to the new exciting discovered talents we found in Kush T and Hanzo & Randie.
360° of exclusive music packed with a brilliant ‘book-serie’ artwork from the designer and label co-owner Grotesque, Cosmos LP will be available in both CD and digital formats. Get ready to land into the Cosmos!

This is compilation is a fantastic insight in to a group of very talented producers and well worth the investment. Headphones or a decent sound system are advised.

If you have ever walked down Queen Street in Cardiff during the day you will probably have, at some point witnessed the dulcet tones of the fruit and veg man screaming at the top of his lungs "RASPBERRIES, STRAWBERRIES. TWO FOR A POUND".
If the truth be told this man isn't the only one promoting 'local produce' in the city! (See what I did there?)
Alfie Swan is quietly (unlike fruit and veg man) creating a platform that is already sending shock waves through the streets of Cardiff. Always humble and with an exquisite music taste.
'Local Produce' has been the go to spot for Cardiff's producer community, to get together and share their latest works to a vibrant and mixed audience all enjoying the cosy atmosphere of the Blue Honey Night Cafe. Cardiffs latest spot for underground music events and late night eats.
It is with great pleasure I present you this short but informative q+a with Alfie Swan. Check out the music links and if you are in the area…
Doc P reviews... Pound for Pound by The Nextmen vs Gentleman’s Dub Club
Pound for Pound by Gentleman's Dub Club
Dropping like a giant sunshine bomb on June 22nd 2018 was ‘Pound for Pound,’ a 12 track collaboration album between the exceptional production and DJ duo The Nextmen, and the huge UK reggae dub band Gentlemans Dub Club. As if that wasn’t enough to get you hyped already, these heavyweights are joined by a football teams worth of all-star vocalists who bless the album with track after track of infectious lyrics and sun-kissed hooks.
The album kicks off with possibly my favourite tune on it, ‘Highs and Lows,’ a superb slice of soulful reggae featuring Joe Dukie of New Zealand’s Fat Freddys Drop. Bursting with love, positivity and thanks its a real gem of a track. ‘Spooky’ featuring Hollie Cook follows it with a dreamy, upbeat tale of haunted love, featuring a hammond riff that seems to nod towards the Doctor Who theme. Its a nice shimmery track, and it further establishes …

Super Mario Bros – Episode 50
March 28, 2011 | Author Cecil
The Goombas are dancing again.
21 Responses to “Super Mario Bros – Episode 50”
I wanted to give a huge thanks to Eric for doing the “50” for the intro. Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.
unrealbe:
Half-life 2 maybe taking some influence from the super mario movie just blew my mind.
I know, it’s crazy right? I almost couldn’t believe it myself but there it is.
Pappy:
It’s an interesting question regarding why this movie wasn’t as liked as it almost certainly should have been. You had a massively popular character that almost everyone was either familiar with having played the game, or familiar with having had kids that played the game.
I honestly think the reason it wasn’t as popular as it should have been was because one hadn’t become the other quite yet.
So maybe the movie was released before its time. I would say that if it were released now, all of the kids who were Mario addicts that now have kids that may be playing something with Mario in it (god knows there’s a TON of Mario games out there now) would BOTH probably enjoy the game.
I remember watching this movie in the theater and being pretty confused. I was a kid of 9 at the time so some of the smaller references (Hopper’s hands, his “s’s,” etc) went above my head, but I caught things like the walls and the obvious references like having Toad be a character.
The good thing about a 9 year old watching this movie? The adult references ALSO went over my head. Like a lot of entertainment at the time (Ren & Stimpy, for instance), there were obvious things for the kids and there were more adult jokes and references that most kids won’t get or, possibly, don’t care about. I recognized the stripped in SMB, but paid no attention to it because strippers are in a ton of movies, but how many movie have Mario in it? I had my priorities in order.
But my parents didn’t play Mario. My dad liked Duck Hunt and trying to get Robbie the Robot to play Gyromite with him. That must have not been too successful, because I don’t remember ever seeing Robbie outside his box. My mom looked at the Nintendo not as an entertainment possibility for her, but what it really was: an electronic godsend of a baby-sitter.
So the movie adaptation of Mario was made with adults in mind, but released at a time when adults weren’t the biggest base of fans. They probably brought their kids to it because, hey, it’s what their kids are playing right now, right? But then the kids aren’t the target audience and the parents probably couldn’t care less about the movie or the references.
I remember being driven home after seeing the movie. I thought Yoshi was cool and that it was fun to see the brothers in real life. When we got home, my brother and I pretended to be Mario and Luigi, and then promptly fought over who got to be whom. But my dad just said the movie was stupid.
He had played Mario, but to a limited extent, and I think he may be a pretty great sampling of what most adults thought of the movie.
So yes, I think the real culprit is the time it was released. The young impressionable children heard about how bad the movie was, then they grew up either never giving it a chance or never giving it ANOTHER chance. This is probably one of the more rare examples of a movie that gets BETTER when you get older because you recognize more things and get more of the humor. Most movies from your childhood was way better back when you didn’t see EVERYTHING. Batman (1989) was an AMAZING movie to a 5 year old (the first movie I ever saw in a theater and the moment when I realized I fucking LOVED movies) but to me now as an adult, I have big problems with it. Mainly the fact that Bruce Wayne is an idiot, and Vicki Vale may be the worst human being ever.
I mean, Batman saved your life multiple times and you STILL try to take a picture of Batman’s face? And you can’t give Bruce Wayne some privacy with his personal life? You have to stalk him like some psycho girlfriend, use you resources at the newspaper to dig up his painful past and constantly guilt him?
Awful.
Sorry about that, got a little off course at the end. 😉
That’s a really good point. While now the folks watching the movie are people who grew up with Mario, back then the majority of the theater goers were still kids. The parents that brought them, for the most part, weren’t really into video games. So, while if the movie was released now it would appeal to both audiences because the parents grew up with games and most likely, they are introducing them to their kids.
It simply was ahead of it’s time but unfortunately, there are still some people who refuse to go back and give it another view. I know there are a couple of movies I hated as a child but went back to watch when I got older and enjoyed. I hated it because I didn’t understand it. I also was much more impatient back then whereas now, I don’t mind a slow moving story as long as it is interesting and eventually goes somewhere.
On the other hand, like you said, some movies don’t age well. You go back and look at the first Tim Burton Batman vs Batman Begins and you see how hokey it was. Keaton did a great job but the movie felt like they wanted to be serious but still ended up campy. (I still say Batman Returns is way better than Batman) Vicki Vale was terrible. I wanted The Joker to drop her off a building.
The Agony Booth did a good covering of Batman Returns recently. I had never considered that Batman killed a LOT of people through these two movies, even though his one rule was that he wouldn’t kill anyone.
Funny how flexible that rule is when you go for irony when you set a guy dressed as the devil on fire. 😉
For a guy who isn’t supposed to kill anyone…he kills everyone!
I do find it funny how even Tim Burton says his Batman movies are nowhere near as good as the Nolan ones.
txunderball:
You rock for making this review! This movie has way too few defenders. When I was a kid, I never had a console so I had no problem with this not being “true to the movie” (a notion you have successfully debunked here) and I loved it. People took this movie way to seriously. Hoskins was great and it’s really sad to see awesome actors diss their memorable performances just because the movie turned out to have been unpopular. Hopper is also very memorable. The behind the scenes story about the troubled production was very informative and makes me appreciate the movie even more. It always looked like a Blade Runnerish movie and now I know why! Thanks again!
Thanks! I just wanted to give this movie a fair shake. So many people scream about how horrible it is, etc, etc. Its nowhere near a bad movie. Glad you enjoyed it!
This is one of my favorite episodes because it shows how just because something isn’t what you want (at the time) doesn’t mean it’s bad. Although I haven’t yet re-watched this flick, it’s on my radar.
I was still a kid when this came out and I can’t say I was disappointed (like with TMNT 3) I was simply confused and didn’t have the intellect for the subtleness of the source material or adult themes.
So let’s say they went in the direction of pure fantasy and had Danny Devito stomping on toads, kicking turtles around and killing plants…better movie? Like that wouldn’t have gotten old in about 20 minutes and then it’s a wait for Mario to dump Koopa in lava and save the princess. I think that movie would have easily gotten just as panned and forgotten as well.
Do you think if this movie concept of Mario would have been released in the late 90’s/early 2000’s more people would have appreciated it?
Exactly. I actually like a movie that is unexpected. I really think that if the movie was the “Danny Devito jumping on things” it would have been watched, disliked, and forgotten. This, for all its troubles in production, became something else. It’s a movie with a pretty dedicated fanbase and people are still talking about it. There are some successful movies that don’t even have that.
The 20th anniversary screening is coming up and John Leguizamo is going to be there. I know he disliked his time working on the film, aside from his time sexing up the lovely Samantha Mathis, but I wonder if he will talk about anything he did like with the film. If he went back and showed it to his kids for example.
I don’t know. It seems that the general public is quick to bash things these days. Everything sucks and even things that are very good, people still will find things about it that the claim “sucks”. People seem to have forgotten how to just enjoy something. So, I think if it came out it the 2000s it most likely would have been attacked even harder than it was in the 90s.
i have visit the webside and it is indide awesome

ShMike:
I always wished they made SMB The Movie into a game based on the movie based on the game. But this movie game would fall more in line with the movie (maybe an adventure based RPG).
I would be so up for that. Considering they made the Street Fighter Movie the game based on the movie, making a SMB game based on the movie would have been cool. Although I think NIN went about as far as they wanted with the license, which is why they are super controlling with them now. I would have rather had the SMB movie game over the CDi Zeldas lol.
I would have liked a Japanese fantasy meets New York kitsch version:
Nicholas Turturro (Mario), John Turturro (Luigi), Ron Perlman (Bowser),
Mira Sorvino (Princess Daisy), Danny Woodburn (Toad), and Paul Sorvino
(King).
Director (Jay Dubin), Screenwriters (Larry Hama and Ann
Nocenti), Director of Photography (Hiro Narita), Production Design (Eiko
Ishioka and Wayne White), Music (Angelo Badalamenti), Creature Design
(Screaming Mad George and the Chiodo Bros), and Action Design (Keita
Amemiya and Jeff Imada).
If they ever do it again I still think their best bet is to do it animated.
Jeremy J.:
I was a 10-year-old boy back in 1993 when Super Mario Brothers came out in theaters. Of course, I had the NES, the SNES, and handful of Super Mario Bros. games. And OF COURSE I went to the theaters and watched it. Looking back at it now, 22 years later, it still holds up well. It’s been so long since I’ve seen this film that I should track it down and watch it again.
There is a bluray (and it looks great) but its region 2 only. 🙁
better review than the gaming historien

Memorybell explores the emotional and environmental possibilities of ambient music, creating pieces that are simultaneously cinematic and intimate, evoking solitude and yearning, affliction and recovery. Debut album Obsolete, created using just a creaky grand piano and two microphones, is as concerned with exploring the spaces between notes as the notes themselves, giving each song room to breath and encouraging the ear to wander.
Obsolete by Memorybell
Obsolete is the debut album by piano minimalist Memorybell. Exploring the emotional and environmental possibilities of ambient music, Memorybell creates pieces that are simultaneously cinematic and intimate, evoking solitude and yearning, affliction and recovery. Recorded live in a single sitting using just a creaky grand piano and two microphones, Obsolete is as concerned with exploring the spaces between notes as the notes themselves, giving each song room to breathe and encouraging the ear to wander. The percussive qualities of the piano are almost dissolved by the air surrounding each note, leaving an aching space for the tones to resonate.
Memorybell is the ambient project of Grant Hazard Outerbridge, a multi-instrumentalist and classically trained pianist who has been playing music for nearly 30 years. From 2003 to 2008, he played bass, keys, and occasionally sang in band The Very Hush Hush. Alternately called dream-pop, electro-pop, shoegaze and indie, TVHH released two albums, Mourir C’est Facile (2006) and Evil Milk (2008), and two EPs, Washing Songs (2003) and Sign Language (2004). They toured nationally and shared the stage with bands such as Okkervil River, Stereolab, and TV on the Radio. In 2010, under the name Grant Hazard, Outerbridge self-released Genus Euphony, a solo effort of classical piano infused with subtle electronics.
In February 2014, Outerbridge awoke in a hospital with no memory of how he had arrived. He was diagnosed with transient global amnesia, a condition that causes the brain to temporarily stop making new memories. When he returned to the piano, Outerbridge found his previous compositions sounded garish. He pared them down to their essence and, along with new, more spacious material, constructed a set of variegated and subtle songs that explore the interplay between dissonance and silence.
Grant lives with his wife and sons in Denver, CO.

The Spaces Between: An Interview with Memorybell
On his debut album as Memorybell, Grant Hazard Outerbridge delivered an abject lesson in need versus want. Obsolete is more than a simple minimalist document, indeed it could be argued that Outerbridge’s deft touch and innate sense of time make each of its sparse notes laden with import. As if each successive strike of hammer on piano wire were the only thing in the world… until the next. So it’s no surprise that Outerbridge is as much a thinker as a “feeler” when it comes to his musical work. In this utterly engaging interview the lovely Wagner Hertzog sat down with the artist and covered everything from Marvin Gaye to transient global amnesia. A truly great read.
Many thanks to Wagner and Grant for their time and efforts in making this happen.
WH: You have been playing music for decades. Was the concept for Memorybell already in your mind before you started working on this music, or is it a more recent artistic project?
GHO: Memorybell is a very recent project. I wanted to focus on ambient music following the release of Genus Euphony, but the way this album came into being was decidedly unplanned.
I had been composing, shaping, and reshaping 20 or so songs but could never quite get them to feel the way I wanted them to. After I got out of the hospital, playing the songs was a uniquely unpleasant experience. They sounded awful to me and I had trouble remembering why I had written them in the first place. When a song felt wrong, I either threw it away completely, or focused exclusively on its essence (often just one or two chords) and explored that as granularly as I could.
My close creative collaborator from The Very Hush Hush, Peter Bo Rappmund, had heard most of the songs in various stages of their composition. When I was able to play these new, post-amnesia versions for him he strongly urged me to release the record under a new name. The songs were so different from anything I’d ever recorded that it made sense that they be the start of a new project.
WH: What are your main influences and sources of inspiration?
GHO: It sounds odd, but a lot of my musical ideas come from mundane objects. There is a particularly pleasant sound that the metal vent in the roof of my house makes when it lightly rains outside. In my old neighborhood, there was an old row house whose laundry exhaust whistled beautifully whenever it was in use. I could listen to the sounds of an oscillating fan all day long.
I enjoy sitting still and listening to the world, though it’s far too loud for me. This is one reason why I’m drawn to expansive silences. I draw an immense amount of inspiration and solace from the quiet that descends during a snowfall.
Less esoteric and more to the point, I find the following works very influential (in no particular order):
Marvin Gaye – What’s Going On
Air – Moon Safari
Billy Holiday – Solitude
Gas – Pop
Yo La Tengo – And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out
Stars of the Lid – The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid
WH: You seem interested in exploring extreme minimalism in your music, creating a slow, surreal experience for the listener. How did you come to develop such a style?
GHO: When I was studying classical music I was most attracted to dissonant passages. These “sour” notes and chords represented for me a warmer, more interesting way of approaching musical expression. I would sit for hours playing a single passage over and over, slow it down, and make subtle changes to it. As I grew older, I looked forward to this monastic repetition far more than completing whichever increasingly difficult piece of music I was learning.
Starting in the early 2000s, I played bass in The Very Hush Hush. Like the piano, my method of approaching the bass has changed over the years but, even back then, I was more concerned with playing the most interesting note than playing the root. One well-placed note can heighten anticipation in ways little else can.
My ears most want to hear what happens in the moments after a note is played before it dissolves into silence. That tension is powerful and shaping that tension is my primary concern.
WH: In terms of your creative processes, are you driven by your technique, or do you let your emotions drive your composing and arranging? Or is it a combination of both?
GHO: Emotion is the driving force behind my music.
To my ears, technique is only as useful as one’s ability to use it to express emotion. Technique for its own sake does little for me. It’s not that I don’t admire accomplished musicians, I do; I fully understand the time and dedication it takes to become an accomplished musician. But when technique becomes the focal point music becomes hollow. There is a whole spectrum of emotional experiences to be had while listening to music and feeling awe at someone’s ability is only one.
When I compose a new song, I try to keep my mind blank. Turn off my brain. Focus on what I’m feeling and sensing. What do I hear? What do I smell? Taste? I often begin with my eyes closed and open them once something interesting has presented itself. From there, repetition and manipulation of time and silence. How best to amplify what I’m feeling in the moment? What is the simplest way to say what needs to be said?
WH: Is there is a special place or time that you write music?
GHO: There used to be, but now I’m restricted to when my toddler son is either asleep or out of the house. Otherwise, he’ll come bounding from wherever he is and start mashing the keys. Adorable and amazing, but not conducive to thoughtful creation. I’m lucky if I get an uninterrupted chunk of 20 minutes per day.
Place is an interesting problem with the piano. You’re stuck wherever the piano is. My work around for this used to be scribbling ideas in a notebook, studying them when I couldn’t be at a piano, etc. Now, unless I’m particularly inspired and one of my 20-minute mini-sessions produces something more-or-less fully formed, I’ll hold a strong phrase in my mind for as long as I have to until I have time to explore it at the piano.
This results in a kind of fermentation. The most emotive part of an idea tends to become stronger, while the less necessary, more ancillary bits float off. This won’t always be my song writing process but, considering my 2 year-old just had a baby brother, I don’t see it changing in the near future.
WH: How do you work on individual songs? Do they keep evolving as you experiment with them over time, or do you find it quick and easy to finish each piece?
GHO: It depends on the song. Many songs are vague and gauzy at the start and I have to sit with them for a while before they reveal themselves to me. I try not to force anything onto them, just wait for whatever emotion it was that drove me to sit down at the piano to come out. Sometimes this process is quick, other times it is glacial. It took 14 years for ‘Somnolent’ to become what it is.
That’s an aberrant example, though. Most songs take on average 2-3 years before I finally leave them be. So, at any given time, the batch of songs I’m working on tend to have been initially conceived several years previous.
Occasionally, a song will emerge and I can’t figure out how to improve it. Those are always happy moments, though infrequent. I quite enjoy the long, slow evolution of a song. When one is finished, it may sound quite unlike it did in its infancy.
WH: In regards to your artistic process, are you a perfectionist, or more of a relaxed creator?
GHO: A complete and utter perfectionist, though I’m trying to let that go. My compromise is to direct my perfectionist tendencies toward my process rather than toward my music, to stay dedicated to giving the songs room to breathe, to grow, to change. Rather than try to force the songs to be something I want them to be, I allow them to be what they are. Even if I don’t like the end result, being true to the process feels like being true to my nature.
The most important part of my process is letting go. Ego can be a useful tool, in crafting personae, in pushing yourself, but I find it a barrier to making meaningful music. My best songwriting comes after I’ve processed whatever drove me to write a song in the first place. What remains after the dust settles.
WH: Silence, and the ambiguity it evokes, plays an important role in your music. Is this aspect of your music planned, or do you improvise?
GHO: Very much planned, as much as one can plan silence. I can never predict the affect any given length of silence will have, so I conduct tests. Do I add a single beat here? A measure of seven? Thirteen? It’s a little like introducing oneself to a strange animal.
As consumers of popular music our ears have been trained to expect predictability in regards to rhythm. 4/4 and 3/4 dominate the sonic landscape. The ghost of the Western classical music tradition is persistent. The purposeful shirking of predictable time signatures is a good thing but if not approached carefully it can estrange the casual listener.
When I shape the silence in my songs, I pay close attention to what my ears want. Then I give them something else. Unusual time signatures often do the trick, but I try not to employ them for their own sake. Sometimes a standard time signature alternated with an irregular or changing amount of silence has a magical effect. The ultimate test is if someone can’t tell that a song is in 17/8 or 13/4.
The ideal is to make the unexpected feel natural.
WH: Can you tell us about your experience of transient global amnesia and how it influenced the creation of this album.
GHO: In late February of 2014 my first son was two weeks old. He was curled up with my wife on the couch and I left to meet up with some friends. We had a couple of beers and I made my way home. It was lightly snowing.
I walked in the house and my wife and son were still curled up on the couch. I took my son upstairs, swaddled him and put him in his crib, and put on my headphones.
I woke up in a hospital roughly ten hours later on a gurney, obscenely bright fluorescent lights flashing over my face. I saw my wife and asked, “What am I doing here?” She patiently recounted the story of how I had come into our bedroom saying I couldn’t remember where I had been, what I had done, the people I had been with; how she had called the police, to whom I had apparently been quite charming and funny, who in turn summoned an ambulance that brought me to the hospital.
My poor wife told me this story over forty times before it stuck. Tests were run; EKGs, MRIs, CAT scans, toxicology screens. At one point, a group of medical students with clipboards surrounded my bed.
Throughout it all, my wife sat holding our absurdly small son wondering if I’d had some sort of stroke.
I was diagnosed with Transient Global Amnesia, which is, maddeningly, a diagnosis by exclusion. Once everything else has been ruled out, that’s what you get, a rare condition about which little is known. Extreme stress, sleep deprivation, and excessive physical exertion are thought to be the triggers.
The effect was as if a bomb had gone off in my brain. All memories months into the past and future were turned to glass.
The tests showed an increased sensitivity to light and sound. This proved problematic with a small baby at the house. I was given to carrying earplugs and noise-cancelling headphones with me for diaper changes. Going outside without sunglasses triggered a migraine. A screaming police siren triggered a migraine. A teakettle triggered a migraine. A loud sneeze triggered a migraine.
I quit my job. The thought of trudging through that soulless routine coupled with my new condition caused me so much anxiety I couldn’t function.
I was home all the time. When my son was sleeping, I had to do something. When my son was at day care, I had to do something. When I couldn’t sleep, I had to do something. I turned to the piano.
The songs I had been working on for the previous few years sounded like boxes of broken glass. Some of them literally gave me headaches. To heal, I picked them apart, focused on the parts that were soothing, that felt right, and threw out what remained. I reshaped them, let them ring out into silence, and created something new.
WH: Did you know beforehand that you were writing songs specifically for this album, or did you choose from songs that had already been written?
GHO: I chose from songs I had previously written, but completely altered them, post-amnesia. I had a concept for an album I had been pursuing before I awoke in the hospital. That’s the raw material to which I returned
At the time, it was important to me to force the issue, to make the collection of songs work even if they felt wrong. That’s when I really started focusing on silence. I threw out the superfluous, ornamental bits and chiseled the songs to their core. Then I wrapped them in silence.
WH: The title of the album, Obsolete, is very evocative. How did you settle on this title, and what does it mean to you?
GHO: I really don’t like titling my own songs. When I do, they’re almost always non-sequiturs. I reached out to an old friend, gave him the raw, un-mastered tracks and asked him to title the songs. He suggested the title track be named “Requiem for Obsolete Technology.” A great song name, to be sure, but I felt single word song titles were more apropos, given my editing method and interest in silence.
In general, I often feel like I was born a couple hundred years too late. The world is the loudest it has ever been, and for someone who craves quiet it is a struggle to remain focused amongst the head-splitting sounds of squealing brakes, screaming people, crackling electric lines, and wailing sirens. I like to imagine what the world must have sounded like before the industrial revolution.
Actually finding a quiet place is becoming more difficult. I live in Denver, Colorado and the legalization of marijuana, along with our city’s policy of being as inviting as possible for new businesses, has created an immense influx of people. City streets are jammed beyond capacity, and what used to be an easy drive into the mountains has become an arduous chore. Hiking trails are as clogged as motorways. Landmarks are being vandalized.
Quiet places are vanishing. So I create them in music.
WH: Did you work on the songs for Obsolete individually or collectively? The titles of the songs suggest a link between them.
GHO: The songs I ended up including on Obsolete were originally written at completely different times. The only thing they had in common was the fact they were the ones I had been drawn to in the years and months leading up to my amnesia. When I slowed them down and picked them apart after my return from the hospital, I noticed new patterns and arranged their order on the album accordingly. I rarely worked on one song at a time. I typically shaped the whole set of songs at once. If I made a severe edit on one, it often let to a complementary edit on another.
I touched on this earlier, but I find naming my own songs difficult. My natural inclination is to be abstract and sarcastic with names, but I felt it would be a disservice to the honest and existential nature of these songs to name them so. The titles of the songs are representative of various themes that were woven through my life when I reworked them. Koan is inspired by the Richard Brautigan poem, “Karma Repair Kit, Parts 1-4.” Ambulator is in reference to the Max Frisch novel, Man in the Holocene.
Both of these speak to me on a level that is difficult to articulate. “Karma Repair Kit” is a reminder to be still and accepting. Not of anything in particular, but of everything in general. Man in the Holocene is a meditation on loneliness and struck a note within me during my recovery, despite the fact I read it a very long time ago; it just bubbled up out of my mind.
The other song titles are fairly literal and loosely based on my friend’s suggestions. 2014 was unequivocally the worst year of my life. The amnesia wasn’t even the most difficult struggle, but I’m not going to elaborate. The songs are my way of processing what happened.
WH: What’s the main intent behind your music? What are you trying to communicate to your listeners?
GHO: That sitting still, especially when it is uncomfortable, is important; that the act of listening, whether it’s active or passive, is important. It slows down your thoughts, so you can spend time with them. Depending on your type of mind or life situation, that may not be desirable, but then it is all the more impactful.
Modern city life is fast and loud. We run around from place to place, from work to home, from the gym to the grocery store, checking our watches or phones, making sure we don’t miss appointments; little of that matters to our internal lives. We focus so intently on what we have to do that we rarely stop to think what we would like to do. Or what we should do, not only for our own happiness but also for our own mental health.
Slow down and take a nap. Memorybell can help.
WH: Do you have a lot of unreleased songs?
GHO: I rarely make a proper recording until I’m satisfied that I have a cohesive collection of songs. I have a few songs that didn’t make the cut for Obsolete, but if I do anything with them, I’ll probably chop them up and use parts of them in another project. I’ve reworked one song that didn’t fit the way I wished it had for Obsolete and will most likely include it on the next record.
I don’t have a lot of unreleased material but I do, however, have a lot of unrecorded material. I don’t write any musical ideas down, I just run the songs through my head over and over. I have several albums worth of songs in various stages of completion floating in my brain. Sometimes I’ll carry a song around for years before I return to it. One song I’ve been working on for 19 years and it still hasn’t fully revealed its mysteries to me. My approach is that if something is worth recording, I’ll remember it. Thankfully, the part of my brain that stores my musical ideas seems largely unaffected by my amnesia.
WH: Are you currently working on something? What can we expect next from Memorybell?
GHO: I’ve had my fill of reworking old material for the moment. I’m moving forward with my new approach and writing an album from scratch. It’s very freeing, and my process has quickened; I’ve let go of thinking of any given idea as precious, as worthy of meticulous appreciation. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s gone. If some essence of it sticks around, then it has merit and will find a place in some different form. It’s a looser and faster method than I’ve ever used before. I’m halfway done with the follow-up to Obsolete. The songs still breathe slowly and are still melodic, but it’s somehow…different.
My main obstacle is lack of time. I have a 2 year-old and a newborn at home (both boys) and, unlike when I wrote Obsolete, I am now gainfully employed. My time to write is limited to naptime, or those rare occasions when I’m home alone. I’m finding it helps, actually. I carry around the songs in my head, tweak them, try different arrangements, and then when I finally have the time to play them and test my ideas out, the good ideas tend to present themselves more or less immediately.
Whatever comes next will be looser and more organic.

Memorybell “Obsolete” Released
Hidden Shoal is proud to announce the release of Obsolete, the debut album by piano minimalist Memorybell, the ambient project of Grant Hazard Outerbridge. In February 2014, Outerbridge awoke in a hospital with no memory of how he had arrived. He was diagnosed with transient global amnesia, a condition that causes the brain to temporarily stop making new memories. When he returned to the piano, Outerbridge found his previous compositions sounded garish. He pared them down to their essence and, along with new, more spacious material, constructed a set of variegated and subtle songs that explore the interplay between dissonance and silence. Recorded live in a single sitting using just a creaky grand piano and two microphones, Obsolete is as concerned with exploring the spaces between notes as the notes themselves, giving each song room to breathe and encouraging the ear to wander. The percussive qualities of the piano are almost dissolved by the air surrounding each note, leaving an aching space for the tones to resonate.
Obsolete is available now via the Memorybell Bandcamp and all good 3rd party digital stores and streaming services. Obsolete will be launched at a special show in Denver on September 1st. More details on this closer to the date.
“Still” – A Mixtape Curated by Memorybell
With an album due out next month that is an abject lesson in understanding the spaces between things, Grant Hazard Outerbridge (aka Memorybell) is well poised to present this beautiful mixtape, aptly entitled Still. Lets hand it over to the man himself to explain.
“Society these days is in such a rush. We bounce from one thing to the next, often, it seems, with little idea of where we’re going. As an artist I attempt to fold into my process a slowing down, preferably to a stasis where blurred notes and ideas become suspended, frozen in air where I can analyze and manipulate them. The songs included here for me represent stillness in many of its forms: sitting with discomfort, ennui, idleness, sadness, relief, and release. Once distraction is removed, we’re left with our bodies and thoughts which, in turn, can lead us to some unexpected realizations.” – Grant Hazard Outerbridge (Memorybell)
Hidden Shoal is 10!
Hidden Shoal is extremely excited to be celebrating its 10th birthday this month.

Tim Clarke, based in Melbourne, joined the team in 2007. Hidden Shoal has since gone on to become a much-loved independent label and publisher, releasing over 120 albums from a diverse range of international artists and licensing music from its catalogue across film, tv, web and compilation.
Stay tuned for special anniversary announcements in the coming months!

Hidden Shoal is proud to announce the signing of the brilliant Colorado based artist Memorybell to it’s roster of artists.

He was diagnosed with transient global amnesia, a condition that causes the brain to temporarily stop making new memories.

“Over almost a decade, Hidden Shoal records developed a reputation as a consistently innovative and experimental music label, giving to us music of remarkable qualities whether it was the instrumental excursions of Gilded, the blissed-out indie of My Majestic Star, the electronica of Marcus Mehr, the alt.folk stylings of Kramies – the HSR list of significant talents was a lengthy one. I say was, as in 2014 or thereabouts, the Hidden Shoal label underwent a reorganisation of sorts, and it began to seem that one of the more influential Australian record labels of the recent past was itself going into hiding. Perhaps so, although only to return refreshed, renewed, invigorated and with its varying artistic visions intact – the Eat Your Friends compilation proves that the Hidden Shoal label is properly with us again.
One thing I’ve found when reviewing compilations is that not infrequently, when I put them into my music players, the tracks separate instead of remaining in their album folder, and that has happened with my copy of Eat Your Friends, encouraging me to view each of the tracks as a single release rather than view the album itself as a cohesive whole. Then there’s the fact that only some of its contributors are already known to me and so, ditching some of my preconceptions about what it’s going to sound like, I began listening to the 11 tracks in a random sequence, and prepared for the unexpected.
Firstly, there’s singer/songwriter Erik Nilsson’s “Moksha Can Wait”, a song which electronic composer Marcus Mehr has taken and adapted to his subtly developed production sound, a track that begins almost inaudibly and builds to a staggering crescendo of soaring, roaring electronic sound and with Nilsson’s guitar and piano providing a counterpoint to Mehr’s swirling atmospherics. The ambient chill of City Of Satellites is given an added gloss by Tim Manzano, although I’m not so sure what he’s actually done with the track – it does sound a lot like the City Of Satellites I know from their Machine Is My Animal album, although as the track progresses and the rhythm and bass begin to disintegrate into a dubby conclusion it seems more apparent where Manzano has left his mark. Arc Lab’s “Through The Burning Glass” is remixed by Glanko, beginning with a club-level bassline before levelling into a noir tinged synth epic. And just when you thought the tracks on Eat Your Friends were entirely instrumentals, Rew perform a cover version of Umpire’s “Green Light District” and they do it with a vocal, alongside the strings and crashing cymbals and haltingly uncertain rhythms, a highlight of an album each of whose tracks is in one or another way remarkable.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve visited the archives of Australian Hidden Shoal label. And, as usual with any label taking curation seriously, it’s easy to pick up the catalog and return to where one’s left off. This time, the imprint releases an album by a classically trained pianist, Grant Hazard Outerbridge, a 40-minute exploration of minimalism, caught in between the ringing out notes. It is this nearly simplistic study of reductionist pianism that has me interested in listening to Obsolete over and over again – after all, I’ve been creating such pieces myself.
Delicate keys are at the forefront of each short vignette. In fact, it is only the keys that one hears, plus the ambient sounds of the player picked up by the microphones. Perhaps what one must listen to is not the chords, but the space between the chords, where the percussive instruments changes to a nearly resonating stretch of sound, left slowly to decay into the silence and the void. It’s like a moment between thoughts, when one finds clarity for the first time, as dust of all the daily noise finally settles down before it’s shaken up again. The solo piano recording becomes an indispensable accompaniment to the morning meditation, a soundtrack to solitude and score for introspection. And Obsolete comes with a story:
This acoustic ambiance is essential to anyone searching for an aural retreat from an over-compressed world of packaged sound. Like music for the airports, designed to calm and soothe the nervous soul, Obsolete blankets the mind with nominal sounds, leaving the heart to fill out the rest. [Don’t let the cover of the album turn you away!] Dig deeper through Outerbridge’s catalog, and you shall find another album, Genus Euphony, released in 2010. Highly recommended for fans of solo piano and intersected genres, where Brian Eno meets Satie.”

“An old piano and two microphones: it is enough, now, for musicians to navigate and young experimenters to create rich sound environments of a variety of different suggestions. In the case of Grant Hazard Outerbridge the concrete elaboration of the formula came to the valley of a thirty-year career and after an episode of transient amnesia, that moved him to reconsider his process of composition in an extremely minimal sense.
From what has taken shape the Memorybell project, alias under which the artist Colorado presents eight tracks of “Obsolete”, populated by resonant harmonies narcoleptic in a muffled and dusty space, which embody a well hauntologia piano bare-bones.”
– Music Won’t Save You
“This is the debut album from Memorybell, the ambient project of Grant Hazard Outerbridge. The album was recorded live in a single sitting using just a creaky grand piano and two microphones, and focuses on the silence between the musical notes as much as the notes themselves.
This is quite an unusual album that takes experimentation to a new extreme. The music is all about feelings and atmosphere and makes use of the “empty” spaces in the sound as well as the sounds. With nothing but a piano, and only a few simple notes played at any one time, this album is as minimalist as it gets but somehow the spaced out simple notes work to create a dark but intriguing soundscape. This is very much an album for the ambient music lovers out there, if you need to hear tunes and activity this might not be for you.
The album opens with the two minute and very minimalist Koan. Moving slowly with one key played at a time it sets the dark scene of the album. ‘Doldrums’ sees the activity begun to build, if only in a glacial sense. The song consists of short and slow groups of notes, allowing the feeling of both the sounds and the silence to come through and be felt. ‘Ambulator’ takes things down a notch, with simple repetitive notes slowly working their way through.
‘Somnolent’ sees the lower keys getting a workout to create a deeper and darker sound. The title track is perhaps the most active track on the record, with the notes coming together and the silences closing in a melody starts to emerge. ‘Entropy’ sees the gaps almost disappear with a slow tune rolling along. The closing track, ‘Dust’, takes things back to the minimalist sound with a simple low key being played between chunks of silence.
It has to be said that this is an extremely experimental and unconventional record. As a result there are many listeners to whom this will not be accessible. However if you are a fan of ambient and minimalist music there is something quite beautiful to be found here.”

“While much has been made about Jean-Michel Blais’ excellent solo piano debut on Arts & Crafts this year, another equally captivating record has unduly received far less attention. Grant Hazard Outerbridge’s debut as Memorybell is ambient minimalist piano that is much less involved than Blais’ — in fact, Blais’ lovely album sounds positively baroque next to Memorybell’s effortless calm.
For over a decade, Outerbridge has been a touring indie musician and classical composer, but in 2014, he was diagnosed with transient global amnesia, a condition that causes the brain to temporarily stop making new memories. His old compositions sounded “garish” to him, so he began work on much more sparse, gossamer compositions using one creaky piano and two microphones.
Memorybell channels the wandering and simplicity-loving spirits of Erik Satie, Brian Eno and William Basinski using short figures with so much space between each phrase that you almost forget the notes before were played. Outerbridge will play a few notes, then let them hang in emptiness for a few whole seconds before continuing the melodic idea.
While it’s an interesting way to play with musical memory, this much silence requires a lot of patience, or a willingness to let one’s focus drift. Fans of Eno or Grouper will be pleased with another addition to their playlists for meditation, studying or falling asleep. Some may find the lack of memorable tune or beat frustrating, but those with the right inclination will appreciate the contemplative spaces between notes.”

“What if we told you a person woke up in a hospital with absolutely no recollection of his arrival there is on his way to becoming a sensation? Okay, how about this: a person diagnosed with transient global amnesia, a condition causing sudden memory loss and the person to lose the ability to form new memories and recall recent events, is dedicating his time to creating the most beautiful ambient tracks you will ever hear.
Sounds too good to be true? See for yourself.
Grant Hazard Outerbridge has created this project under the name “Memorybell“, releasing his album “Obsolete“. His music will be able to instill feelings and deep emotions in you that you weren’t expecting. It’s so incredible to see that such beautiful art can be created using only a grand piano. Memorybell’s minimalist ambience makes you appreciate the silence in every pause to allow you the chance to absorb the intense feeling in his sound.”

“Memorybell is the ambient project of Grant Hazard Outerbridge, a multi-instrumentalist and classically trained pianist who has been playing music for nearly three decades. From 2003 to 2008, he played bass, keys, and occasionally sang in band The Very Hush Hush, who toured nationally and shared the stage with bands such as Okkervil River, Stereolab, and TV on the Radio. In 2010, under the name Grant Hazard, Outerbridge self-released ‘Genus Euphony’, a solo effort of classical piano infused with subtle electronics.
Carrying his newfound sound forward, Outerbridge adopted the new moniker of Memorybell, creating a new musical project that explores the emotional and environmental possibilities of ambient music, creating pieces that are simultaneously cinematic and intimate, evoking solitude and yearning, affliction and recovery.
After landing in the hands of Hidden Shoal, an Australia-based independent music label, Outerbridge put in motion his new album ‘Obsolete’, an ambient recording of immense potential. Recorded live in a single sitting using only a creaky grand piano and two microphones, ‘Obsolete’ holds a rare, solitary sound and lingering brilliance that most ambient pieces can only dream of.
It’s spacious, with songs often composed of just a few hallowed notes, but what Outerbridge creates from the silence between is astonishing. Deeply affecting and instantly captivating, the album captures Outerbridge’s world in vivid sound and tantalising composition. 8/10″

He pared them down to their essence and, along with new, more spacious material, constructed a set of variegated and subtle songs that explore the interplay between dissonance and silence.’ Memorybell was born.
Outerbridge has recorded Obsolete ‘live in a single sitting using just a creaky grand piano and two microphones’ and he has been concerned with and focused on ‘exploring the spaces between notes as the notes themselves, giving each song room to breathe and encouraging the ear to wander.’ Yes, air, loads of air, room to breath, as well as enough room and space to listen are the main points or keys to understand and to enter the musical world of Memorybell. The seven minute (+) long “Somnolent” is a lingering, slowbreathing composition that flows slowly out of the speakers through your room (alternatively: out of your headphones, straight into your head and mind…). It feels like a pleasant sleeping pill. Not that it makes you instantly sleepy or drowsy. It just makes you comfortably relaxed. In a good way. I’m looking forward to check out the rest of Obsolete. Outerbridge’s compositions or performance doesn’t sound or feel obsolete.”

What's the OAdM?
The Observatori Astronòmic del Montsec (OAdM) is a scientific infrastructure that is managed by the IEEC by virtue of an agreement with the Direcció General de Recerca of Generalitat de Catalunya.
It is located 1,570 meters high in the Montsec mountains, 50 km north of the city of Lleida, in the municipality of Sant Esteve de la Sarga and near Ager, in the Catalan pre-Pyrenees. This area is recognized as one of the most suitable of the European continent for astronomical observation, thanks to the combination of weather conditions and the low effect of light pollution. It is, undoubtedly, an exceptional sky.
The OAdM comprises four facilities for research in astronomy and two measurement stations. The two measurement stations are devoted to meteorological studies (Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya) and to environmental pollution (Institut de Diagnosi Ambiental i Estudis de l'Aigua - CSIC). The astronomical equipment consists of three robotic telescopes:
The TJO (Telescopi Joan Oró): owned by the Generalitat de Catalunya and installed and managed by IEEC.
The TFRM (Telescopi Fabra-ROA Montsec): belonging to the Reial Acadèmia de Ciències i Arts de Barcelona and the Real Observatorio de la Armada.
XO-Montsec: belonging to the Space Telescope Science Institute, USA.
In addition, it houses a camera for the detection of fireballs and hazardous near-Earth asteroids (All-sky camera, IEEC).
The mission of the OAdM is to provide the tools to carry out cutting-edge research in astronomy as well as to provide the necessary support to exploit the facilities. Several research institutes and universities have actively contributed with scientific and technical supervision and manpower to the development of the OAdM project: the Institut d'Estudis Espacials de Catalunya (IEEC), the Universitat de Barcelona (UB), the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) and the Fundació Joan Oró (FJO).

Avantidrome celebrates five years
Since the official opening of the Avantidrome (by their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) five years ago, the venue has welcomed an impressive cross section of visitors, from children to champions, trikers to tours, gym-goers, elite athletes and even a 96-year-old local cyclist setting a world record.
The facility is not only home to New Zealand’s elite athletes, but has also become a popular destination where high performance meets community on a daily basis.
For the official birthday celebrations, the Avantidrome hosted free have-a-go sessions, gym tasters, tours and trike sessions for newcomers, as well as a series of complimentary sessions for regular riders.
Have-a-go participants travelled from across Waikato including Putaruru, Matamata, Hamilton and Tamahere, with others making the trip from Auckland.
The have-a-go star of the day was 82-year-old local woman, Arline Pile. Arline is a regular visitor to the Avantidrome but explains, “I normally ride the three wheelers in the Avantidrome Trikes sessions and have always wanted to try the two wheelers on the track and today is the day.”
Arline gave many younger participants a run for their money on the 250m wooden velodrome as well as achieving a personal milestone.
Also part of the celebrations were appearances from cycling superstars based at Avantidrome for training. Cycling New Zealand’s Eddie Dawkins, Emma Cumming, Olivia Podmore and Harry Waine, accompanied by British Cycling’s Mark Stewart, joined a group of 22 avid Avantidrome riders who had an exclusive opportunity to ride with the champs. Dawkins, Cumming, Podmore, Waine and Stewart took to the track with a group of excited youngsters and excitable grown-ups for an hour and half of skill sessions and racing. The session was topped off with a series of signings on commemorative pieces of Siberian Spruce (the wood the track is built from) and bike frames and helmets.
Home of Cycling’s general manager, Scott Gemmill said of the day: “Five years is a significant milestone for the Home of Cycling (HoC) that’s worth celebrating.
“We wanted to do something to say thanks to our loyal riders and the wider community for their support. The numbers were strong and the wow factor was high.
“Huge thanks must go to our small team of dedicated staff, who once again went above and beyond during the weekend, away from their own families to put on this fabulous event for the community to experience how lucky we are to have this amazing facility in Cambridge. We’re excited to be working on what the next five years will bring.”

'We Hit Back Immediately and With Force'
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told Israelis "The people who gave the order... are no longer living."
Gavriel Queenann & Gil Ronen, 18/08/11 20:36
Prime Minister Netanyahu gave a very short statement before press cameras at 8:30 P.M. Thursday evening following the lethal three-stage terror attack that claimed 7 Israeli lives and saw 33 wounded.
"We all witnessed an attempt to ratchet up the level of terror emanating from Sinai," he said. "If someone thinks that Israel will put up with this, he is wrong."
"I have established a principle: when Israeli citizens are hurt, we hit back immediately, and with force. This principle was implemented today. The people who gave the order to murder our civilians, who were hiding in Gaza, are no longer among the living," Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu's reference was appaerently to the death of Abu Awad Kamel a-Neirab, commander of the Salah a-Din Brigades, the "military" wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike around 5:00 PM on Thursday.
An estimated 20 terrorists were killed in the firefight that raged during and after the attack - some direct participants; some lookouts. It appears the entire terrorist force that staged the attack was wiped out.
Netanyahu praised the Shin Bet, Yamam special forces and IDF for their courage, which prevented a greater tragedy.
Six of those killed in Thursday's attack were civilians while two of the wounded were small children, aged 4 and 7.
Earlier in the day Netanyahu promised Eilat mayor Meir Yitzhak-Halevy that Israel's reponse would be swift.
Hamas - the terror organization that rules Gaza - evacuated its security headquarters after Thursday mornings attacks in fear of a muscular Israeli response.
The United Nations also evacuated its foreign personnel from Gaza following the attacks.
