Since the beginning of the year, the New Musical Express has placed its name at the head of the listing 100 emerging artists to follow; suddenly, everyone started to speak her. But who is Billie Eilish?
The young artist grew up in Highland Park, Los Angeles, in a family of actors and musicians, Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell – this is the real name of the singer-songwriter of Scottish and Irish origin – began writing songs at age 11, trying to imitate her older brother, who already had a band. In 2016, barely fifteen, she released her first single, "Ocean Eyes", on SoundCloud. She was interested in the label Interscope Records, a label owned by Major Universal, who contracted Billie Eilish and started doing "Ocean eyes" (the video today has more than 60 million views).
Immediately after signing with the label, the talented singer began publishing a series of songs that, on August 2017, were collected in the EP "Do not smile at me", produced by her brother Finneas O'Connell: are also "Bellyache" (more than 110 million views for the video), "Watch" and "Copycat".

"Kim, do you want more children," one of the users asked, to which the celebrity replied: "I love my babies very much, but four is all I can handle with how busy I am, and every one of my babies needs so much attention. "
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are parents of four children: North (6 years old), Saint (3), Chicago (1) and Psalm (2 months). The last two were born through surrogacy.
In an episode of 'Kocktails with Khloé' that aired in 2016, Kim told her sister Khloé that pregnancy was difficult for her. "In the end, it is worth it, so I would suffer again, but pregnancy was not a good experience for me," she said.
The businesswoman said, on another occasion in a chapter of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians', that she felt pressure from her husband because he wanted to have seven children and confessed that she was "terrified" at the arrival of her fourth child Psalm.

The Details of Selena's Death, How Selena Quintanilla Died
Selena was murdered on March 31, 1995. The singer was bled to death after being shot by Yolanda Saldívar, her friend and president of her fan club.
Yolanda, who went from being one of her most fervent admirers to a close friend, shot her and destroyed her torso.
The Tejano singer was only 23 years old when she died on March 31, 1995.
How Selena Quintanilla Died
It all started when they agreed on a meeting in order for Yolanda to give Selena a series of financial documents from the company she owned.
However, Yolanda refused to do so, and instead of clearing things up she told Selena she had been raped. The singer accompanied her friend to the hospital for an assessment, but the doctors found no evidence of the sexual assault.
Once back at the hotel, the interpreter asked for the papers again, but Saldívar refused again. After a strong discussion, the interpreter suggested to her friend to stop frequenting for a while in which things calmed down, Selena took the documents and when she was about to leave the hotel Yolanda pulled the trigger of a Taurus 38 pistol.
Seriously injured, Selena fled the room and during her tour of the halls of the hotel asked for help, however, she could not take it anymore and collapse because of the loss of blood.
Yolanda upon realizing what she did, her first reaction was to lock herself in her car, when the police arrived she threatened to take her life.
After hours of negotiations, Yolanda surrendered to the authorities. Seven months after the murder, she was convicted by a Houston judge and sentenced to life imprisonment.

text: yale shuttle # 90 sped up to pass two cyclists ( on orange before the bike lane starts; there is not enough room to pass safely, but especially because we were passing a parked school bus). the driver was speeding too fast to notice he/she was ignoring a pedestrian at the in-street crosswalk sign, then ran a red light at orange and humphrey. (approx 11:50 a.m.) truly a trifecta of bad driving, if you will.

Ephesians 1:20 which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, (NASB: Lockman)
|Greek: en energesen (3SAAI) en to Christo egeiras (AAPMSN) auton ek nekron, kai kathisas (AAPMSN) en dexia autou en tois epouraniois
Amplified: Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], (Amplified Bible - Lockman)
NLT: that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. (NLT - Tyndale House)
Phillips: That power is the same divine power which was demonstrated in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and gave Him the place of supreme honour in Heaven (Phillips: Touchstone)
Wuest: which might was operative in the Christ when He raised Him from among the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, (Eerdmans)
Young's Literal: which He wrought in the Christ, having raised Him out of the dead, and did set Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
WHICH HE BROUGHT ABOUT IN CHRIST: en energesen (3SAAI) en to Christo e: (Eph 2:5,6; Romans 6:5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11; Philippians 3:10; 1Peter 1:3)
Which (3739) (hos) refers to the resurrection and ascension power—the divine energy that lifted Christ from the grave to the earth, and from the earth to heaven—is the power that will lift us to glory
He brought (1754) (energeo [word study] related to the noun energeo just used in Ep 1:19-note) refers to that which is effectively working. The idea here is that this might or power was operative in Christ when God raised Him from the dead. It operated to raise Him from the dead." The aorist tense speaks of effective action in the past or past completed action.
Energeo - 19x - Matt 14:2; Mark 6:14; Rom 7:5; 1 Cor 12:6, 11; 2 Cor 1:6; 4:12; Gal 2:8; 3:5; 5:6; Eph 1:11, 20; 2:2; 3:20; Phil 2:13; Col 1:29; 1 Thess 2:13; 2 Thess 2:7; Jas 5:16. accomplish(1), brought about(1), effective(2), effectually worked(2), performs...work(1), work(6), working(2), works(7).
WHEN HE RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD: geiras (AAPMSN) auton ek nekron: (Psalms 16:9, 10, 11; John 10:18,30; Acts 2:24-33; 4:10; 10:40; 26:8; Romans 1:4; Hebrews 13:20)
Raised (1453) (egeiro) means to waken, rouse from sleep here to wake up from death, of which sleep is the emblem "AORIST (effective action - the raising) ACTIVE (God performed this action) PARTICIPLE ( having raised = aorist speaks of a definite event in the past ~ the resurrection)
Dead (3498) (nekros from nekus) (Eng - necropsy, etc) refers to physical death. Jesus did not "swoon" or "fake" death. He died physically, that we might live eternally with Him.
In the Old Testament, God's power was measured by the creation (Isa 40:12–27) or by His miracle of opening the Red Sea to allow Israel to escape Egypt, Jeremiah for example recording
But today, we measure God's power by the miracle of Christ's resurrection. Much more was involved than merely raising Him from the dead, for Christ also ascended to heaven and sat down in the place of authority at the right hand of God. He is not only Saviour; He is also Sovereign (Acts 2:25–36). No authority or power, human or in the spirit world, is greater than that of Jesus Christ, the exalted Son of God. He is "far above all," and no future enemy can overcome Him, because He has been exalted "far above all" powers.
AND SEATED HIM AT HIS RIGHT HAND IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES: kai kathisas (AAPMSN) en dexia autou en tois epouraniois: (Eph 4:8, 9, 10; Psalms 110:1; Matthew 22:43, 44, 45; 26:64; 28:18; Mark 14:62; 16:19; John 17:1, 2, 3, 4, 5; Acts 2:34, 35, 36; 5:31; 7:55,56; Ro 8:34; Colossians 3:1; Hebrews 1:3; 2:9; Hebrews 10:12; Rev 1:17; 5:11, 12, 13, 14)
Seated (2523) (kathizo from katá = down + hizo =sit) Having caused Christ to sit down. The aorist tense speaks of effective action in the past or past completed action.
Right (1188) (dexios) right as opposed to left. A person of high rank who puts someone on his right hand gives him equal honor with himself and recognizes him as of equal dignity
Heavenly places (2032) (epouranios) means above the sky, celestial, heavenly, high. A spiritual battle is going on in this world and in the sphere of "the heavenlies," and you and I are a part of this battle. Knowing this makes "being strengthened standing firm" vital!"
Why The Ascension? - God raised Jesus from the grave and exalted Him to His right hand in heaven (Ephesians 1:20). Yet for 40 days Jesus made many bodily appearances to His disciples. But the 40th day was different. With His disciples looking on, He slowly ascended into the sky until a cloud hid Him from view (Acts 1:9).
Why didn't Jesus continue His visible appearances on earth? He had told His disciples that the Holy Spirit would not begin His work until after He left (John 16:7). The time had come for His followers to trust His word instead of relying on their physical senses (John 20:25,29). Their Master's slow, visible, and final ascent was a dramatic way of saying to them that a new era was about to begin.
From heaven Jesus would send the Holy Spirit to replace His bodily presence. Christ would form the church and rule as its Head (Ephesians 1:22-23). By His Spirit, He would live within His followers and fill them with peace and power. In heaven He would intercede for them before the Father's throne (Hebrews 7:25). He would no longer be visibly present, but He would still be with them in a very real way (Matthew 28:19-20).
The same is true for every believer today. That's why we can be thankful that Jesus ascended to heaven. —HVL (Our Daily Bread, Copyright RBC Ministries, Grand Rapids, MI. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved)
Ephesians 1:21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. (NASB: Lockman)
Greek: huperano pases arches kai exousias kai dunameos kai kuriotetos kai pantos onomatos onomazomenou (PPPNSG) ou monon en to aioni touto alla kai en to mellonti; (PAPMSD)
Amplified: Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come. (Amplified Bible - Lockman)
NLT: Now He is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else in this world or in the world to come. (NLT - Tyndale House)
Phillips: a place that is infinitely superior to any conceivable command, authority, power or control, and which carries with it a name far beyond any name that could ever be used in this world or the world to come. (Phillips: Touchstone)
Wuest: over and above every government and authority and power and lordship and every name that is constantly being named, not only in this age, but also in the one about to come. (Eerdmans)
Young's Literal: far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one;
FAR ABOVE ALL RULE AND AUTHORITY AND POWER AND DOMINION: huperano pases arches kai exousias kai dunameos kai kuriotetos : (Philippians 2:9,10; Colossians 2:10; Hebrews 1:4) (3:10; 6:12; Daniel 7:27; Romans 8:38,39; Colossians 1:15,16; 2:15; Hebrews 4:14; 1Peter 3:22)
Christ's exaltation by His Father has resulted in His supremacy over everything...
The Jews believed angels controlled human destiny, but Scripture sees Jesus Christ as the Creator and Sustainer Who upholds all things by the Word of His power.
Far above (5231) (huperano from hupér = above + ano = up) So Christ is not just ABOVE but FAR ABOVE. Also includes idea of rank or dignity. Christ is in a class by Himself so to speak. The demonic rule, authority, etc aren't even in the same ball park!"
All (3956) (pas) all. Terms that follow were traditional Jewish terms to designate angelic beings of great rank might. Power of Christ applied in the believer's behalf cannot be defeated because it far surpasses that of the hosts of Satan who design to defeat it"
Rule (746) (arche [word study]) means the first ones, preeminent one or leaders. Arché speaks of those first in order of rulership in a community, "the first ones" in the town. The arche is an an authority figure who initiates activity or process. In this context arche reflects a high order of demonic creatures that assist Satan in his warfare against God and His children! (See notes on spiritual warfare in Ephesians 6:12)
Authority (1849) (exousia [word study]) is derived from éxesti = it is permitted, it is lawful meaning liberty of action. Exousía refers to delegated authority and combines the idea of the "right and the might", these attributes having been granted to someone.
Vine explains that exousía evolved
Vincent adds that "Authority or right is the dominant meaning in the New Testament." (Word studies in the New Testament. Vol. 1, Page 3-171)
Exousía means the power to do something and was a technical term used in the law courts, of a legal right.
Power (1411) (dunamis [word study] from dunamai = to be able, to have power) refers to power, especially achieving power. It refers to intrinsic power or inherent ability, the power or ability to carry out some function, the potential for functioning in some way (power, might, strength, ability, capability), the power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature. In the present context dunamis almost certainly refers to evil spiritual forces which possess this inherent power.
Dunamis is the implied ability or capacity to perform. It conveys the idea of effective, productive energy, rather than that which is raw and unbridled. Note that words derived from the stem duna— all have the basic meaning of "being able," of "capacity" in virtue of an ability. Duna- is the root for English words like dynamic, dynamo, dynamite, etc.
Barclay writes that dunamis...
Dominion (2963) (kuriotes from kurios = lord, mighty one) here is a reference to evil angelic powers. Jewish writings used to designate angelic powers their ranks."
No authority or power, natural or supernatural (in the spirit world), is greater than that of the exalted Son of God, the glorious Lord Jesus Christ.
Victory, not defeat, should be the norm in the Christian life. God sees every believer as being in Christ, whom He raised from the dead and seated "at His right hand...far above all principality and power". Because He is the Victor and we are "in Him," we too can be victorious over sin. We can be "more than conquerors" when we yield ourselves to the all-conquering Christ.
Charles Wesley alluded to Jesus' rule from above in his famous hymn of many, Rejoice the Lord is King
Jesus, the Savior, reigns, the God of truth and love;
AND EVERY NAME THAT IS NAMED NOT ONLY IN THIS AGE BUT ALSO IN THE ONE TO COME: kai pantos onomatos onomazomenou (PPPNSG) ou monon en to aioni touto alla kai en to mellonti; (PAPMSD): (Matthew 28:19; Acts 4:12; Philippians 2:9, 10, 11; Revelation 19:12,13) (Matthew 25:31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36; 28:18; John 5:25, 26, 27, 28, 29; Hebrews 2:5; Revelation 20:10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
Name (3686) (onoma) name [implying authority, character] NT the name concisely sums up all that a person is. Name in the Bible means much more than in our modern culture. One's whole character was somehow implied in the name. Furthermore, in this context, name implies authority, and it was used this way as when one would come or do something in or by the name of someone (the name conveying that person's authority).
Named (3687) (onomazo) means to name, call by name. Jesus is the Name above all names forever.
The most famous passage regarding the exalted nature of Jesus' Name, like the present passage, is in the context of Christ's sacrificial offering of Himself to God...
'Let any name be uttered, whatever it is, Christ is above it; it is more exalted than that which the name uttered affirms' (Meyer)
Only (3440) (monon) means alone.
Age (165) (aion [word study]) denotes duration of time. "age," referring to the present sinful age, the world system now dominated by Satan. Aion is the popular culture and manner of thinking that is in rebellion against God which will try to conform us to its ungodly pattern.
The Jews of Paul's day understood the end times to be divided into two time periods, the age in which they lived and the coming age. The Messiah, called "the Coming One," would rule in the age which is to come.
One to come (3195) (mello) means to occur at a point of time in the future which is subsequent to another event and closely related to it (see note below under "age") The present tense pictures this age to come as on its way.
This "age" would be the age Paul wrote in and is the same age believers live in today, the age most commonly known as the "church age". In a scheme which adheres to a literal interpretation of prophetic passages, the church age is followed by a seven year period commonly referred to as the "Tribulation" but more biblically correctly designated as "Daniel's Seventieth Week". This period of seven years is not actually called the "Tribulation" in Scripture, although Jesus clearly designated the last 3.5 year period as the "Great Tribulation" (Mt 24:21). Revelation 4-19 describes primarily the events that will transpire during this seven year period which will terminate with the return of Christ, Who will establish His 1000 year kingdom (the Millennium) on earth. This 1000 year period is also known as the Messianic Age, which is the time when God fulfills ALL of His promises to Israel, which is in marked contrast to what many teach because they do not interpret the Scripture literally. At the end of the Messianic Age God will have vanquished every enemy

Unfortunately, the entire Amazon is altogether too large and too diverse for a single volume such as this one, but I believe that it does reasonably well at condensing some of the main aspects and choosing specific themes to focus on. For example, the book focuses on the geology of the reason, explaining the differences in river color by showing the different origins of the rivers (there are yellow, black, green, and transparent waters). Additionally, the book singled out the lifecyle of local catfish, that crisscross the region by their feeding and breeding habits.
One of the outstanding qualities of this book is the images, which try to do justice to the beauty of the region. Through the pictures, one can tell the deep differences between the sub-regions; some are mountainous, some are planes, some are swamps, in some places the forest is denser, etc.
If you are planning a visit to the Amazon, or have a strong interest in the Amazonian ecosystem, this may be the best book available today. I strongly recommend it.

Katie Price fuels marriage reunion rumours as she attends Shocktober Fest with cheating husband Kieran Hayler – who hid from the cameras
Model and kids pose for photos at VIP event without cheating Kieran as he DODGES snappers at horror amusement park - apparently hiding their marriage reunion.
KATIE Price brought estranged husband Kieran Hayler along to an event tonight with two of her kids - giving credibility to the rumours that the pair are reuniting, despite his second cheating bombshell.
But The Sun Online can exclusively reveal that Kieran, 30, hid from photographers at the venue when arriving with Katie at Shocktober Fest amusement park in Sussex, accompanied by Junior, 12, and Princess, ten.
It was already clear two weeks ago that Kieran has still been sleeping with Katie despite their furious split - as he posted a pic from the marital bed.
And our source at the venue saw former builder Kieran dodging snappers as they headed into the VIP event at Tulleys Farm in West Sussex - near Katie's farm home.
Sex addict Kieran, who has looked after son Harvey since the revelation he slept with the family nanny, seemed unwilling to reveal he is still in the company of his wife.
Also at the event were Richard BlackwoTowie's Gemma Collins, Heavy D, Lotto winner Jane Park and model Chloe Goodman.
Kieran revealed this week that he's been keeping a self-improvement journal - and he also posted a motivational message on Instagram, which may have impressed his ex.
It read: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change: courage to change the things I can: and wisdom to know the difference."
His reunion with wife Katie, who he also cheated on with her best friend, comes after her furious row with Chris Hughes began to rage.
Katie has been accused of bombarding Love Island's Chris with "flirty" messages that he didn't respond to - before he also claimed she sent "threatening" voicenotes to him and his girlfriend.
And now Katie's nemesis Jemma Lucy has backed Chris over his accusations.
She says she has seen her former mentor sending "ranty" voice messages in the past so she thinks it's not out of the question that she'd do it again.
If that wasn't enough, Katie's plan to crack the States with her show My Crazy Life has been mocked online.
Most Read in TV and Showbiz
Whether Katie still plans to divorce Kieran if she is happy to cart him along to events remains to be seen.

Tom brings the case against his wife Kira. He says Kira is obsessed with proper grammar, and she comes across as a know-it-all when she corrects his speech. Kira says she prides herself on correct language usage, and that Tom should do the same. Who's right? Who's wrong? Only one man can decide.
We're joined this week by special guest and lexicographer Emily Brewster, Associate Editor for Merriam-Webster. Thank you, Emily!
If you want to join our conversation about this episode, please click on the Forum link below!
Thanks to Sandra Macke for suggesting this week's case name! To suggest a title for a future episode, like us on Facebook at Judge John Hodgman! We regularly put out a call for submissions.
SUBSCRIBE TO THIS PODCAST in ITUNES or the RSS FEED
I realize I shouldn't take this podcast too seriously, but it did seem that Tom was treated shabbily by the good judge. Yes, Kira may have come across as more interesting, but Tom should have been able to speak for more than 5 sentences.
In 1971, my junior year in high school, my English teacher used the term "Irregardless." It's bothered me ever since.
What high school was that?
Brookline High School.
Yes, that Brookline High School.
Save the M-W editor's two cents, only poor Tom's contribution to this episode was of any value. Know-it-all Kira knows very little about the English language. Anyone who advocates only for a fix "proper" or "correct"' English should also feel comfortable wishing we spoke the English of Beowulf, or possibly even the PIE.
Language changes -- at its lexical, morphological, syntactic, and discourse levels. Even an individual's language use changes from hour to hour (or minute to minute!) as we tend to adjust our usage based on our audience's expectations. And sure, stick with Standard/General during the cover letter and job interview. But the fact that "Mary and I" can also be uttered as "Me and Mary" around almost any company of people in the US, or that "firstly" and "most importantly" are now frequently used as sentence modifiers is of little consequence. People use all of the above. Speakers of the language, even fairly low-proficiency non-native speakers, understand what's being said.
Also, unkindly Kira doesn't understand that her argument lies in kowtowing to a variety of American English that has the most prestige, at least in her world. Hearing her utter, "I just want my husband to sound as smart as he is," she unconsciously follows a false belief that using a more prestigious variety of English is the same as being or being perceived as "intelligent." The Kiras of the world often judge the intelligence or worth of Southerners, New Englanders, rural Americans, or racial/ethnic minorities in the US for their shifted vowels, unfamiliar lexicon, or less often heard morpho-syntactic variations without knowing anything about how well those speakers (or writers) are adhering to the conventions of the variety of American English that they were raised to use.
What we have in Kira is a person who simply feels the need to put other people down, especially her husband. Her grammatical "corrections" probably serve as one tool for dominating their relationship. (Hear Tom's "I feel tense," and "I'll let her lead by example.") From the sound of things, this character trait is so fundamental to her that I suspect to question the underpinnings of this corrective wont would probably never occur to her, even after this episode.
In the Judge's Ragnarok DVD buzz mktg section I noticed he says "I thought there might could be 500 people who agree with me." His own double stacked modal?
May it please the court,
I'd like to answer Judge Hodgman's question 142 about GET SHORTY. What makes the movie feel so specifically of the 1990s -- without actually dating it -- is its lightness.
The actors' tone, the snappy editorial approach, John Lurie's musical score and the literal sunniness of the cinematography all combine to encourage the viewer to take pleasure in the story being told, and not to worry so much about the violence and brutality therein.
The window for movies like GET SHORTY was only open for a couple of years after the advent of RESERVOIR DOGS and PULP FICTION, where Tarantino demonstrated that cliched gangsters could have multiple dimensions, including compassion and intelligence. Barry Sonnenfeld built on that in GET SHORTY by letting the absurd joys of Elmore Leonard's story spiral ever outward, allowing us to share Chili Palmer's amusement at the posturing around him. It's fun because Chili has fun. It's innocent because Chili is innocent. And
By the time Soderbergh made OUT OF SIGHT and THE LIMEY, the pendulum was swinging back to darkness; the bad guys could still be the good guys in a particular story, but the stakes had to be real and even scary. (Even Tarantino's own JACKIE BROWN is a few shades darker than PULP FICTION just three years earlier.)
A contemporary spin on the material wouldn't be able to shrug off the beatings and occasional murder; it would have to engage with Chili Palmer's darkness to cater to a post-SOPRANOS audience. Even if the essential spine of the story remained comic, there'd need to be at least one scene of Chili being truly vicious or cruel before the big bright heart of Hollywood is shown to redeem him.
Anyway, that's the long answer. The short version is that GET SHORTY feels like the quintessential '90s movie because it's one of the few motion pictures that was made at the precise moment when the culture was primed to receive it. And it will be bright and shiny forever.
Norm Wilner
This is Hodgman Actual. I am very grateful for this. I think you have put your finger on something, but I would argue it also feels strange archaic because there is no actor in it who is younger than 30. This was a time when adults still went to see movies.
In any case, the court thanks you.
That is all.
I wonder if that happened because Barry Sonnenfeld had just made two ADDAMS FAMILY movies and wasn't interested in the restrictions of making another movie with underage actors, even if one of them was Christina Ricci, who was 13 going on 35 when I interviewed her for ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES.
You're right, though; most movies would have stuck a kid in there somewhere, just to cover that demographic. Give Gene Hackman's character a sullen teenage kid, maybe, or assign Chili a protege. But maybe Sonnenfeld intuited that Chili himself serves that purpose; his innocence and glee are essential to maintaining the movie's light-hearted mood.
Looking forward to seeing you at the Public on Friday,
I saw a New Yorker cartoon from the 30s in which a pith-helmeted man is banging on the door of a thatched hut while spears whiz by, the caption reads "Very well then, it is I."
Took me a while to get it (I was a child, soon to achieve a high SAT score, now forgotten) but get it I did.
Worse than hearing someone say something like "John and me went to the party last night" is the incorrect overcorrection to this error that I hear all the time. For example, something like "Thanks for talking to Maria and I last week" or "He gave it to Tom and I" drives me absolutely nuts. I now wish that no one ever corrected the original, simpler error, so that this horrific and (obviously) incorrect overcorrection would never have come to be.
Best regards,
Closeted Grammar Hobbyist
p.s. I don't mean to troll, but: one space or two at the end of a sentence?
The incorrect use of "I" is so irritating, mostly because people really think they sound more "educated" when they do it!
The overcorrection you mention does seem to be the problem, and it seems to stem from not actually teaching the difference between object and subject in a sentence but instead just having a knee-jerk reaction against a particular word. Part of the problem with the way children (and even adults) are taught grammar is that there's not enough discussion of how a word functions in a sentence. Or enough discussion of different Englishes and how they also have grammatical structure. Not to mention stylistic choices you might make for effect, whether you know the "rule" or not.

Spaces are largely an issue of layout. Style guides like the MLA ask for two, but in some ways that is a holdover from a fixed font universe and the desire to make manuscripts the most legible for editing. When one moves to the design stage, double two spaces are usually dropped in favor of one, as they create conspicuous white spaces.
A pal
Kirk Douglas on "feel bad" and "feel badly":
From the OED:
orig. U.S. to feel badly: to feel guilty, regretful, or sorry.
1825 W. S. Cardell Story of Jack Halyard (ed. 3) iii. 30 When Mr Halyard came home, they told him what had been done. He felt badly, but did not say much.
1853 E. K. Kane U.S. Grinnell Exped. (1856) xxxi. 266 It makes a man feel badly to see the faces around him bleaching into waxen paleness.
1936 Z. N. Hurston Let. 10 June in Life in Lett. (2002) 382 Of course I do not feel badly at paying $100 to have the letter circularized.
1976 A. Hayley Roots (1977) xxxvii. 167 Kunta felt badly for having wished sometimes that he might strike the man in the darkness for moaning so steadily in his pain.
2003 N.Y. Times (National ed.) 26 Oct. v. 6/1, I feel badly that we would carry somebody [who is disabled] down airstairs in an office chair.
Ira Gershwin, badly: replying to someone who "felt badly" that he had lost at a game: "Would you have felt goodly if I had won?" (possibly apocryphal).
Churchill on prepositional placement: "This is the kind of pedantic nonsense up with which I will not put!" Frequently rendered "This is the sort of English up with which I will not put!" (Yale Dictionary of Quotations).
Isn't it the same as saying "I feel poorly." Which seams to be acceptable. Also, one space after a sentence unless you are using a manual typewriter.

When I hear the name Sub-pop, Nirvana, The Shins and Wolf Parade prise their way into my consciousness. These momentous bands not only sowed the seeds of my own personality, but ploughed potent fields perfectly in the music industry. Sub-pop are one of the founding fathers of late-20th and 21st century alternative-music, they're part of music folklore - so there's hefty reasoning to why the business holds its breath whenever they sign a band. In June this year, the often bludgeoning burden was bestowed upon Toronto-based METZ as they signed to Sup-pop and announced their self-titled new record in one fell swoop. So, having taken no positives from one of the world's most impressive labels signing the noise-rockers, we'll take a look at their record whilst they stare down the barrel of a gun (I'm only joking when I say that, I'm just using the implied values of cynical Britain to both build tension, and seek empathy).
Since their formation in 2008, many of METZ's plaudits have been attributed to their energetic, emphatic live performances. Battered cymbals, concealed vocals, and sore guitar texture are telling attributes – even after your first listen to the record, you can picture yourself being serenaded in a basement, skate shop, or carpeted club by the noise-enthusiasts. This effect is often the desire of many bands, but is captured infrequently. Amongst the apparent Seattle influence, Liars' They Threw Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top is a section of the tapestry that has inspired METZ. 'Get Off' has infectious elements at its behest; the reprieves, rhythmic interaction and prominent guitar parts are complimented by a characteristically raw vocals spurting and squelching how you should "Get off."
"Don't wanna go!" haunts you after hearing 'Sad Pricks'. There's a real careless appreciation of delicate melody within this song. It's texturally great and tempered with angst, defining itself with a bass part that fluidly slides and constantly changes the tonality like a painter trying to capture the sea in a storm. The subtext to the majority of the record's dialect is one of growing distaste and fear toward the outside world, spoken from the discomfort of your own home. "It always falls apart when the lights turn on" - my favourite lyric and the opening line of 'Wasted'. However, there's a real challenge to extrapolate significant amounts of lyrics from track to track. When you acquire snippets, they're as unswerving as you'd expect – working on a similar vein to those that I've already mentioned in the review. You can add Chris to the list of indistinguishable lead singer's and, most probably, one of those hilarious youtube videos where they write out what it sounds like they're saying, but it's not! Side-splitting, folks – I'm off to watch Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow.
That was sobering.
Though the idea that spear-heads METZ is powerful, necessary and interesting, there's not much beyond it; in some ways this makes the record very dogmatic. Most of the tracks are driven by the same instrumental elements and rarely stretch further than three minutes. There might be some who find it difficult to indulge in a release which allays the same ideas time and again, even though it's a malleable type of song they write. Whilst this may be a popular criticism of this album, I'd cite that the dips in texture within the songs, and the use of dynamics and adjoining themes throughout compensate for that foible.
'Wasted' is a spectacular song. It pits the aggro-fuelled heart of METZ against sound sentiment. Though loyal to the archetypal METZ song, it plays with the balance of the instruments within the verses so it resembles something like Dick Van Dyke getting thrown down a spiral-staircase. To finish the record we have driven-number 'Negative Space' followed by the sequence of symbols '--)) --'. The call and response in "SPACE!" creates a charming unique characteristic, whilst the ending song is more of a conjunction of silence and drones than anything overwhelmingly substantial.
The record consists of 11 songs which seldom sound different to one another; this will irritate and concern many who need a map when they press play for the first time. Whilst they buccaneer, boast and spring their material on you through your speakers, there's no doubt that the sound they create would be easier to understand and embrace in a live environment. If you're pondering whether to buy this record, just go and buy the track 'Sad Pricks'. You'll either fall in love or it'll last thirteen seconds. It wouldn't be truthful to say that METZ have written an expansive record, but by no means do they imply this is their intention from 'Headache' through to the end. With their hearts firmly on their sleeves, they've produced an album which shows their warts and weaknesses as much as it shows how much of a sharp, jagged unit they are.

Harold Garfinkel died on April 21 at his home in Los Angeles, CA. He was 93. With his death, social science has lost one of the great originals of American social theory in the twentieth century. His perspective, expressed in language of radical originality and singular power, has had immense influence across the social sciences and has been widely absorbed into the fabric of sociological theory.
Born into a large Jewish community in Newark, NJ, Garfinkel studied business and accounting at the University of Newark before a burgeoning interest in sociology took him, in 1939, to Howard Odum's Department at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. There he worked on a study of intra- and interracial homicide trials for a Master's thesis. The study, later published in Social Forces, showed quite distinctive patterns of trial proceedings for Black-on-White homicides relative to other racial combinations, sharply illuminating the institutionalized racism of South Carolina courts. During the same period, Garfinkel published a short story, "Color Trouble" that described the racial victimization of a woman who refused to move to the back of a Virginia bus. Subsequently anthologized into The Best Short Stories of 1941 (together with literary luminaries Richard Wright, Sherwood Anderson, Graham Greene, and William Faulkner), the story belies Garfinkel's subsequent reputation as abstruse and obscurantist.
After military service during World War II, Garfinkel entered Harvard on the GI Bill of Rights in 1946 and studied with Parsons in Harvard's newly formed Department of Social Relations. He was one of several individuals later named by Parsons as part of a "golden age of graduate studies" at the university. His dissertation focused on topics in the theory of action and, in particular, on the understanding and reasoning that inform its construction. This was difficult terrain in 1946. Behaviorist orthodoxy had declared the thoughts and feelings of actors out of bounds to scientific inquiry, and even Parsons, the leading theorist of the "action frame of reference" in 1937, had by 1951 moved to a more systems-oriented approach. However, Garfinkel was inspired by Alfred Schütz's vision of reasoned action undertaken under conditions of imperfect knowledge, as well as the incongruity procedures pioneered at Harvard in the late 1940s by Bruner and Postman. The latter would form the basis for the first of many "breaching" experiments for which Garfinkel became famous that were designed to expose the forms of reasoning indigenous to the actors' point of view and implicated in their conduct.
In 1954, Garfinkel was hired by Leonard Broom to the faculty at UCLA. During an interim appointment, he worked with Fred Strodtbeck and Saul Mendlovitz on jury deliberations recorded in Wichita, KS. Here was a domain in which reasoning and the giving of reasons as grounds for judgments was a paramount activity, and Garfinkel coined the term "ethnomethodology" to capture the ways in which the jurors' reasoning about motives and circumstances was shared, commonsensical, and yet methodical. This ethnomethodological reasoning would be the focus of the large bulk of his research career at UCLA. It was in these years that, with the help of UCLA undergraduates from his classes, he deployed the quasi-experimental breaching procedures that were a prominent feature of his published research.
Studies in ethnomethodology emerged during a time of turmoil and change in the academic social sciences and American society at large. By 1960, cognitive approaches, greatly assisted by advances in computer science, were finally overcoming behaviorist orthodoxy in psychology and beyond. In anthropology, "emic" approaches to indigenous cultural classification were yielding sub-disciplines such as ethnobotany to which, indeed, Garfinkel analogized his own enterprise. At the same time, the "cognitive revolution" was mired in difficulty. Contemporary philosophical debates included powerful arguments against the idea that rule-based systems could be determinative of meaning in language or of the production of action, citing difficulties arising out of the context-based or indexical character of the algorithms driving human reasoning and behavior.
These themes resonated powerfully with the gestalt phenomenology to which Garfinkel had been exposed, first in North Carolina and subsequently in Cambridge. By conjoining them with deceptively simple demonstrations of their consequences in ordinary social life, Garfinkel fashioned a devastating critique of contemporary sociological theory. The indexical nature of reasoning and action, he argued, meant that regardless of whether or not they were "over-socialized" the actors' behaviors could no longer be credibly viewed as the product of normative determinism. In its place, Garfinkel substituted a vastly more complex process of commonsense reasoning, which he documented with his experimental procedures, as well as an ethnographic study of coroners' procedures. These studies, taken together, embodied a powerful critique of official statistics and of sociological research methods that relied on administrative data. They also became a core impetus for the constructivist movement in the study of deviance, gender, and other sociocultural phenomena that ultimately reached into the study of organizations and other forms of macrosociology.
In addition to his contributions to the theory of action, and his own subsequent investigations of technical knowledge in the sciences and professions, Garfinkel's initiatives stimulated wide-ranging empirical work in the sociology of science and, through conversation analysis, the sociology of interaction. Perhaps inevitably, this colossus of practical reasoning could be endearingly impractical. "Oh, is that how it works," said in tones of wonderment about a commonplace gadget, was a not uncommon response encountered by friends and colleagues. But behind his long struggle to bring practical reasoning under descriptive control was a well-concealed humanistic impulse that, in resisting the possibility of exhaustive description, resisted too the subordination of human initiative to the hegemony of causal explanation. In the course of this struggle, Garfinkel made an imperishable mark on American sociology.

Allen Day Grimshaw, Professor of Sociology Emeritus at Indiana University-Bloomington, died June 15, 2011, at his home, surrounded by family and friends, after a long illness. He was born December 16, 1929, in New York City. He attended high school in Auburn, IN, and began his undergraduate studies in engineering at Purdue University. He completed the AB degree in anthropology and sociology in 1950 at the University of Missouri and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. After service in the Air Force, Allen took his PhD at the University in Pennsylvania in 1959 with a dissertation on urban race riots. He joined the faculty at Indiana University-Bloomington in 1959 as Instructor and retired as Professor of Sociology in 1994.
Allen was a prolific writer, authoring or editing eight books and publishing more than 90 scholarly articles, anchored by the broad themes of peace and justice. Early in his career, Allen's research centered on social conflict and violence, leading to the volume Racial Violence in the United States (Aldine, 1969). His work later took a cross-cultural turn after fieldwork in India, culminating in a co-edited book, Comparative Social Research (Wiley, 1973).
Allen's international fieldwork experiences were the genesis of his keen appreciation of the importance of language for social life—and thus for social research. As co-chair of the Social Science Research Council's Committee on Sociolinguistics, he took on the challenge of educating sociologists, linguists, and linguistic anthropologists about what they could learn from each other. Allen saw language as a critical but often taken-for-granted resource for studies of inequality, conflict resolution, and social interaction. His papers on these subjects were published in Language as Social Resource (Stanford, 1981). Allen combined his interests in social conflict and language in his widely cited, edited volume Conflict Talk (Cambridge, 1990).
Later, Allen turned his attention to professional discourse, and embarked on an influential research project where scholars from different disciplines were asked to analyze the same transcript of a doctoral dissertation defense. The result was publication of the monograph Collegial Discourse: Professional Conversation Among Peers (Ablex, 1989) and the edited volume What's Going on Here? Complementary Studies of Professional Talk (Ablex, 1994), which continue to be major contributions to the field of sociolinguistics.
Allen taught undergraduate or graduate courses on language, social conflict, social psychology, cross-cultural research methods, the city in India, and war as a social problem. He was named a Lilly Foundation Teaching Fellow in 1983-84. Katherine O'Donnell, whose PhD thesis was directed by Allen, noted, "Allen was an exacting but supportive mentor to graduate students. He was a real ally. He loved hearing our tales from the field and regaled us with his stories, holding court at the ASA and AAA conferences. His disdain for injustice and fascination with language and culture were palpable."
Allen was deeply involved in building the Department of Sociology at Indiana University to one of the best in the country. He took very seriously the cultivation and evaluation of junior faculty. His deep and imposing voice brought faculty meetings to order and he was usually the first to ask penetrating and challenging questions to job candidates and visiting speakers. Allen was an avid raconteur with a rapier wit that was best appreciated when it was not aimed in your direction.
Allen and his wife, Polly, were generous in their support of Indiana's Department of Sociology, providing the means to create an endowed professorship and a lecture series that bear their names. Allen was also extremely generous in providing service to Indiana University and to his profession. He chaired numerous committees of the American Sociological Association and served as editor of the American Sociologist and as associate editor of the American Sociological Review and Sociometry.
Allen had to overcome the tragic loss of his daughter Gail in the prime of her life. He supported steadfastly his dearly loved wife, Polly Swift Grimshaw, as she battled and succumbed to a long and painful illness. Allen was also preceded in death by his parents, Austin and Elizabeth Grimshaw, and his sister, Anne Kempers. He is survived by sons, Adam and Andrew, their wives, Ali and Laurie, and his four grandsons.

It is with deep sorrow that the faculty and students in the Center for Educational Opportunity (CREO) and the Sociology Department mourn the loss of our friend and colleague, Warren Kubitschek, who died on April 3, 2011. Warren's illness was untimely and brief, leaving us little chance to prepare for missing of an outstanding colleague, wise mentor, expert statistical consultant, knowledgeable data analyst, and quintessential sociologist. But more than that, Warren was a loyal and trusted friend. His gentle, respectful, and humble personality made him beloved by all.
Warren was born in Chicago, received his BA in Sociology from Grinnell College, his MA in Sociology from the University of Akron, and worked toward a PhD in Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He began his professional career as an Assistant Professional Specialist at the University of Notre Dame in 1985 and later was promoted to an Associate Professional Specialist. He remained at Notre Dame for the rest of his life.
Warren published several papers in leading sociology journals. Much of his recent work involved collaborative analyses of achievement data that he and Maureen Hallinan collected in the Chicago Catholic schools. This study, funded by the U.S .Department of Education, examined achievement gains in the Chicago Catholic schools. In addition, with data generously provided by Tony Bryk, the Catholic school gains were compared to growth in achievement in the public schools to determine whether the "Catholic school advantage" continues to characterize Catholic schools. In addition to this study, Warren served as project manager and statistical advisor for a set of analyses examining ability group effects on student friendship and achievement
Warren's work mentoring graduate students provided a sterling example of his high academic standards. He patiently explained advanced statistical techniques to students while gently insisting that they ask interesting sociological questions as they undertook their master's and dissertation theses. He was equally helpful to faculty to the point where everyone in CREO benefited from Warren's statistical and computer expertise at some point in their research projects.
In addition to his professional career, Warren was a musician. He played the trombone in high school, learned the accordion and assorted other ethnic instruments over the years, and led a folk dance band in South Bend. Warren was a lifelong aficionado of folk dance and taught at the Door County Folk Festival for many years.
Warren is survived by his spouse, Catherine Kubitschek, his mother, Jenny Kubitschek, two sisters, Carolyn Kubitschek and Wendy Culp, and a brother, Craig Kubitschek. A memorial celebrating Warren's life was be held at the University of Notre Dame on July 16, 2011.

Upon learning of Roger Nett's death on May 9, 2011, I was reminded that we were among the first four doctoral students of the Department of Sociology at Washington State University, having graduated together in 1949.
At WSU, Roger and I spent countless hours in the student union talking about our sociological endeavors, the courses we were taking, and so forth. A memorable feature of our conversations (my wife often being present) was listening to Roger discuss the children's story he was writing. One of the more memorable characters was Aardvark, who inhabited the Palouse Hills around Pullman. I never imagined that Roger would have his book, and yet Thorntree Meadows appeared in l957 under the imprimatur of a major publisher. Roger was very talented in a number of ways.
After leaving Pullman, Roger first taught at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, then the University of Pittsburgh, and after that the University of Houston. There were a number of side journeys along the way.
Roger Nett was above all a creative sociologist. In l959 Roger and Stanley A. Hetzler, co-authored An Introduction to Electronic Data Processinga book that peered well into the future. Nett and Hetzler were the first sociologists, to my knowledge, to write a monograph about this major technological innovation. It was a path-breaking accomplishment. A Spanish translation appeared in 1961.
Among other items, Roger authored two cutting-edge essays that were published in the journal Ethics. The first (in 1953) was titled "Conformity-Deviation and the Social Control Concept," which was reprinted in W. Buckley's edited volume, Modern Systems Research for the Behavioral Scientist (l968). The second (in 1971) was titled "A Civil Right We Are Not Ready For: The Right of Freedom of Movement of People on the Face of the Earth." This essay addresses a deep-seated political, economic, and moral issue in the modern world.
Additionally, we co-authored a monograph-text, "A Methodology for Social Research" (1968). This work radically reinterprets Mannheim, moving the sociology of knowledge sharply away from, for instance, phenomenology and toward a more Mead/Dewey view of human nature. The book was intent upon explicating how and why sociologists (and other social scientists) should and do create more "objective knowledge" (a phrase employed in the book). Certain objective social science knowledge is essential in advanced industrial-urban orders. To achieve this goal sociologists must come to terms with the complex interplay among theory, methods, and data, while taking account of the social context in which they carry out their activities.
This book's framework comes into sharper focus if one examines specific social research issues that confront modern industrial-urban orders. Consider Rating Agencies. As a result of the severe economic depression of 2007 or 2008 and onwards we learned that the "objective evaluation" of major financial instruments by Rating Agencies was severely flawed. Certain groups have thus called for a fundamental restructuring of how the data utilized by these Agencies are collected and analyzed. Second, consider the current rethinking of how and why the GDP should be reconstructed. A commission was established by the French government to do just that. The work of the commission was spearheaded by such luminaries as the economists Joseph Stiglitz and Amartya Sen. Third, consider Fukushima. .Social scientists collecting data on this nuclear disaster will almost surely encounter major ethical and political pressures to shape their findings so as to support particular interests. Addressing these kinds of foundational issues is an essential feature of the methodology book that Roger Nett and I co-authored. The book was translated into Spanish (1980), and it was reissued (with a new introduction) in l997.
During his later academic years Roger wrote a manuscript on social control, but this was unfortunately not published. He also spent a great deal of time in Latin America. In the l960s he taught at the Universidad Central del Ecuador and the Universidad Catolica de Chile. He retired from the University of Houston as professor emeritus in l986 and moved to Salem, OR, in the Northwest, a region he viewed as home.
Nancy, Roger's third spouse, survives him. So does his second spouse, Emily Nett. All six of his children survive him: John Nett, George Nett, Chewelah Nett Fritchman, Erika Morin-Nett, Cristabel Nett, and Alejandra Nett Taylor. He had eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. His children and their offspring provided him with enormous meaning in life.

The BBEC facilitates venues for people throughout the community to interact directly with students in the schools.
In 2018, the Higher Education Campus Visit program brought 4,300 ninth graders into direct contact with students and staff at the five Berks County based colleges and universities. Similarly, the Students Interacting with Business program engaged 4,500 ninth and tenth graders with employers at the business sites to learn directly about the requirements and opportunities for employment within the greater Berks County community.
The BBEC has taken a proactive lead the past four years to encourage schools to include an internship elective in the senior year curriculum. Four years ago, three school districts offered internship programs. In the 2018/2019 school year, 14 of the 18 Berks County school districts have included the internship elective in their curricula. One goal is to have 10% of the senior year county-wide cohort, 500 students, participating in an internship elective, learning in-depth about a possible career and/or employment path post high school.
The BBEC partners with the World Affairs Council of Greater Reading (WAC) to include students in the monthly luncheon presentation on important world topics. Typically, 25% of the average luncheon attendance of 150 are high school and college students. Usually, the luncheon speaker is pleased to present also at a high school earlier in the day. In 2018 presentation topics included Syria–Why It Matters and What Can Be Done About It, Peace Works. America's Unifying Role in a Turbulent World and Strategic Issues for the 21st Century.
The above programs are rewarding for students and adults alike. The students broaden their knowledge of career opportunities and the world. The interacting adults are giving back with the satisfaction that they have enriched the lives of the next generation.

The Meters are in the DNA of all New Orleans funk, but it's only natural that with time it becomes less obvious. The bands that they influenced have influenced bands, and they've influenced bands, and so on. A biblical string of "begats" stand between many modern funk bands and the band that inspired them, whether they know it or not. Enter George Porter, Jr. with a lesson.
In the liner notes to Can't Beat the Funk!, Porter writes, "There are some 25 or so songs that have really stuck with me, and I always wanted to hear them played again." He revives 14 of those 25, not playing them as the Meters would have when they were cut between 1968 and 1972, but as he and his Runnin' Pardners feel them today. That doesn't mean radical changes. Once you get through the prog-rock opening of "Yeah You're Right," the song settles into a slinky, funky groove driven by Brint Anderson's guitar, played as if he'd been reading Leo's mail. The instrumentation's pretty much the same, but Khris Royal's sax finds its place in the mix since he's a Runnin' Pardners. Mike Lemmler relies heavily on the Hammond B3, but there are synth solos as well as organ solos. As a result, the versions are faithful without being too reverent.
Can't Beat the Funk! isn't the exercise in obscurity that its premise suggests it might be. Four tracks appear on Rhino's two-disc Funkify Your Life: The Meters Anthology, and two—"Ease Back" and "6V6 LA"—date back to the Meters' self-titled debut album. The album leans strongly but not exclusively toward instrumentals. Thankfully, the lengths stay civilized and don't stretch out like the Meters can live. Porter gives himself and the band room to move with four songs that pass the five minute mark, but they get everything done in under six. In that length, solos build excitement and/or tension without becoming part of the sonic wallpaper. Royal particularly is a star throughout, whether on his slow, smoky solo in "The Mob" or his light-footed expression of the melody on "6V6 LA."
There's no stealing the spotlight from Porter, though. He does nothing showy and never grabs for it, but his agile, rippling bass is a wonder—in constant motion, supporting soloists while provoking them to go further, and solidifying the groove with drummer Terrence Houston. When he sings "Stay Away," he summons requisite conviction, and he captures the essential goofiness of "Doin' the Dirt." But just as he has throughout his career, what Porter does best on Can't Beat the Funk! is let the band and the song speak.
If nothing else, the album performs a public service. Enough time has passed for a Meters canon to emerge, one created by DJ choices, compiler choices and live performances by the Meters, the Funky Meters and the members of the Meters on their own. With Can't Beat the Funk!, Porter reminds us that there's more to the band than its canonical works.

Hi Friends,
Mondegreen is an odd word that means the mishearing of a phrase or the lyrics to a song. Over the years as my attention span and hearing have faded a little bit I am experiencing mondegreens on an increasing basis.
For example, there is a song that has the line "a flicker of love." What I hear is, "the Vicar of love." A Vicar is a religous leader. I think using the phrase 'a Vicar of Love' is cool. Maybe not correct but cool nonetheless. 'Vicar of love' is a mondegreen.
Perhaps your wife says, "Can you take the garbage out?" but you hear "You sure are getting stout." You can see how mondegreens can create problems out of thin air.
We sell a product called the "Loudmouth." The manufacturer is Ritron and they came up with the name. I can't think of a mondegreen for Loudmouth but I can understand how some people might think the name is coarse or somewhat offensive.
Usually we think of a loudmouth as someone who talks too much and says too little. Ritron's Loudmouth is the opposite.
Loud Mouth is a wireless product that let's you talk over your existing pubic address system with a 2 way radio. The school principal or factory security officer doesn't need to be in his or her office to make an announcement. They simply turn their radio to a specific channel and they have immediate access to the campus PA system.
PA systems can be enlarged to include remote areas of a campus or any facility by adding very affordable wireless speakers. Because it is a wireless system there is no trenching and installation is quick and inexpensive.
If you do not have a PA system Loud Mouth is available as a complete PA system. Loud Mouth can make a huge difference in safety and efficiency.
Give us a call at 239-601-1969 to learn more about how Loud Mouth can work at your campus or facility. Doing business with 2 Way Radio Express is easy.
Best Wishes,

Jupiter is the heaviest planet in this solar system. The planet is primarily made up of very light gases, but it contains the most mass.
Jupiter is made up of a gigantic ball of liquid and gas. Jupiter consists mainly of helium and hydrogen, which are the lightest elements on the periodic table. However, at 1.90×10^27 kilograms, this planet has the most mass of any planet in the solar system. Jupiter is the not only the largest by planet by mass, it is the largest by volume and surface area with a volume of 1.43128 x 10^15 km^3 and surface area of 6.1419 x 10^10 km^2 with a mean circumference of 4.39264 x 10^5 km. It would take around 1,000 Earths to meet Jupiter's volume.

Designing World Spay Day shirts for Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County was truly an honor. I developed the theme, sketches and designs for these shirts, and have a deep admiration for the people who wear them at the shelter.
After participating in some Spay Day trapping and transporting, I realized what a huge collaboration this was. There are teams of people setting traps, transporting, feeding, cleaning and not to mention performing surgeries and monitoring recoveries. Then they all have to be returned to their colonies, where teams are feeding them and checking up on them regularly.
So a sports-themed shirt naturally made sense. They sold for $35, which sponsored a surgery. I can't even imagine a more meaningful way to use my design than to prevent kittens and puppies being born into homelessness.

Liam Short is certainly making the most of his opportunity.
The 16-year-old New Plymouth Boys' High School student is this year taking part in the Taranaki Futures and WITT Build a Bach programme, where students get practical experience in the trade before going on to careers in the building industry.
He spends four days a week at WITT, learning skills and building a two-bedroom house under the tutelage of qualified builder Chris Gibson, and the other day on work experience at long-time Build a Bach supporter Pepper Construction.
"I always wanted to be a builder," says Liam. "I like getting out in the fresh air and doing the practical stuff. That's why this course has been really good – being able to learn some skills of the trade before going out and getting a job."
But Liam's done more than just go through the motions of course work. As Pepper Construction managing director Andrew Pepper explains, Liam's enthusiasm for the job has gone beyond what was expected.
"Liam's got a great attitude and it showed when he came, of his own volition, and worked over the school holidays," Andrew says. "There was no pushing, he just came and did it. We were really impressed."
Pepper Construction and other building businesses in Taranaki have been staunchly behind the Build a Bach programme since it began in 2012. They have offered work experience placements and apprenticeships.
"We realise that we need more young people in our industry, particularly with the housing shortage we have at the moment," Andrew says. "We support the whole ethos of the programme and giving young people opportunities."
During his weekly work experience at Pepper Construction, Liam does general building duties such as cladding and flooring, and some of the 'grunt work', such as cleaning and maintenance.
Andrew says the Build a Bach programme has clear benefits over other pre-training schemes.
"It definitely gives them an advantage having done practical work in a supervised training environment. Employers like the fact they have some of the basic skills before they start on the job."
Liam hopes that practical training will hold him in good stead when he looks to begin his building career at the end of the year. He is targeting an apprenticeship and, maybe, one day starting up his own company.
As Build a Bach tutor Chris Gibson says, having goals, aspirations and determination to succeed are as important at this early stage as having the practical skills.
"I get more of a kick out of building these kids than building the house," he says.
Thank you to generous Build a Bach Project Partners:

Remember how I mentioned in my last post that learning to code/program has many benefits and pathways to success? Well, one area of which I'm very familiar is Information/Cyber Security. Some of those skills, such as, being detailed oriented, analytical, and methodical play a major role in most disciplines of Cybersecurity.
The field requires professionals to have deep technical knowledge, to be eager to examine under the hood, to keep abreast of the threat landscape and prevent (if possible), detect, analyze, and mitigate issues of which one faces. Due to the dynamic and fast paced environment, automation ("automate all the things", as we tend to say) is paramount. Althouth many professionals have coding experience, being that we are stretched thin, we aren't always in a position to code as often as we'd like. So, automating "all the things" becomes automate "some of the things", until we get time for the rest. This does not even include the core development work that we need to enhance our security offerings.
If one wants to reverse engineer malicious software (malware), it is vital for him/her to understand the code and the way it functions in order to conduct proper analysis.
Application Security is ever growing, software will never stop having vulnerabilities and adversaries interest in exploiting those vulnerabilities will only increase. So, having the skills to be able to contribute to the secure development life cycle makes you a valuable asset.
I've only briefly touched on a couple areas where your skills may be valuable, but the list is lengthy, so imagine the possibilities.
The industry is hungry for talent and there simply aren't enough knowledgable professionals to fill the available roles. So, when considering career paths after learning to code, consider Cybersecurity.
