Naveon Mitchell scored seven touchdowns to lead Travis to a 58-28 win over Austin, moving Travis closer to a playoff spot.
Ridge Point's tight end, Mustapha Muhammad verbally committed to attend the University of Michigan.
"I chose Michigan because it is a great university. It is a place I can see myself thrive in because of the atmosphere, the academic standards, the people, the fans, and the coaching staff. I intend to major in business and Michigan has the top business school in the country," Muhammad said. "Yes, it is cold, but the NFL is cold as well."
Marshall plays Elkins this Friday in a key battle for a playoff spot. There are 6 teams in District 23-5A with a chance at one of the four playoff spots with three games to go. Manvel (4-0), Marshall (3-1), Texas City (3-1), Elkins (2-2), Galveston Ball (2-2), and Santa Fe (2-2) are all in contention for the four spots.
In District 20-6A, Bush (4-0), Ridge Point (4-0), Travis (3-1) and Hightower (3-1) are in a good position to move on to the playoffs.
Hightower 44, Kempner 14
Chance Ceasar scored four touchdowns to lead Hightower to a 44-14 win over Kempner. Both teams relied on their running games, as there were only five passing yards in the game, all by Hightower.
Ceasar scored on runs of 10, 21, 46 and 19 yards. Devin McAdoo scored on a 66-yard run and Donavon Newman added a 2-yard touchdown run for the Hurricanes.
"Our kids played extremely well. The defense had a very strong performance against a triple-option offense. It was a big challenge, but they stepped up and limited Kempner's offense," Hightower assistant coach Gerrick Green said. "On the offense side of the ball, the Hurricanes were led up front by A.J. Williams and Chibuzo Smart, who had big games blocking. Kevante Campbell-Sims had a really good game at the fullback position, opening holes for the running backs and quarterbacks. Also, Chance Ceasar had a huge game playing at quarterback, he accounted for four scores. It was a total team effort that allowed the Hurricanes to beat Kempner."
For Kempner, Cade Lubojasky had a 2-yard run for a touchdown, and Jordan Oliver scored on a 1-yard run.
"On defense we successfully stopped their triple-option offense," Hightower linebacker Derrick McClendon said. "On offense I felt like we found certain plays that took advantage of their defense."
"It was a great win. We stayed disciplined, played as a team, and came out on top," Hightower linebacker Quinton Sharkey said.
Hightower will play Clements on Thursday at Hall Stadium, and Kempner will play Dulles on Thursday at Mercer Stadium.
Bush 50, Clements 3

"Overall it was a good game. I was able to make some plays, and everyone did their jobs so I could make those plays," Mitchell said.

Troy Omeire caught 11 passes for 101 yards, Moise Tezzo caught six passes for 98 yards and two touchdowns, and Chris Rivers caught three passes for 27 yards and a touchdown.

:42 THE CLASS STRUGGLE fic isaggravated by delays incident to unloading coal trucks and picking up fallen horses.
Real estate used as coal yards is wasted. If coal in cities were used for heating only and for eking out hydro electric power, great areas of water front could be set free for better uses.
Because all the ramifications of waste cannot be abolished outright, parts of the country being beyond the reach both of transmission of power from the mine mouth and of hydro electric power, the point is to reduce the waste to a minimum, leaving the tracks free so far as practimble for transporting heating coal, food and other essentials.
Millions of horse power are at all times wasting undeveloped in our streams. At recurring intervals floods waste lives and interrupt food production, sometimes doing permanent injury to great agricultural areas. By engineering measures of prevention, control and water storage, our floods could in large measure be saved for power production. These are no longer unsolved problems or insuperable difiiculties.
Without a unified federal plan there will, however, inevitably occur in the new field of power production the same chaos that we have sufiered in the struggle of privately owned railroads against all development of our water ways; The monopolist sellers of coal power will have the same incentive for deliberately choking ofi the future development and use of water power. An exception to the general choking practice is the use of power from the Great Falls of the Missouri in Montana by the St. Paul railroad. The exception is, however, so unique as to prove the rule. 43 The Land Question in the Russian Revolution By The agrarian question is one of the most delicate and important questions of the Russian Revolution. As we shall see later, its solution involves not only the welfare and the destinies of the many millions of peasants in Russia, but also the destinies of the entire Russian Revolution. Therefore a clear understanding of the agrarian question in Russia is necessary to everyone who would understand the Russian Revolution or forecast its probable outcome.
The roots of the agrarian movement in Russia, in particular, and of the Russian agrarian question, in general, are to be found in the agrarian conditions prevailing up to the Revolution, among the peasants and the great landed proprietors. And in the study of these conditions, most importance must be attached to those prevailing in the fifty governments of European Russia, from which exclude Poland and Finland. These fifty governments include two thirds of the entire population of Russia; in them the power of the great noble landholders was greater than elsewhere, and in them there was a greater lack of the necessary lands for the peasants, and a greater poverty. Finland has its own special agrarian conditions, which are being decided independently, moreover, by the Finnish people. Poland likewise appears to give promise of an independent solution of the agrarian question, in certain fundamental respects not unlike the Russian. The Caucasus has a very distinct agrarian situation, requiring a peculiar regulation, but there also, because of the slight extent of the holdings of the noble landholders, the agrarian question is not so pressing as in the above mentioned fifty governments. As for Siberia and the Central Asiatic part of Russia, these huge domains have never played an important part in the agrarian movement, for the simple reason that their vast territories have been inhabited by a comparatively thin population of peasants, who either sufiered little or not at all from lack of

From songs by The Beatles to Rick Wakeman, Metallica to The Rolling Stones, uDiscover Music uncovers the best songs inspired by books.
'Free Hand' was the seventh album by prog legends Gentle Giant. Another artistic triumph for the band, it has endured as one of their best-loved releases.
These overlooked 70s rock heroes moved audiences, made fantastic albums, then faded, but are still fondly thought of by diehards. Remember them with love.
The 1975 album was the record that paved the way for the prog frontiersman's top ten success with 'L.'
Gentle Giant felt the punks advancing during 1976, yet they stuck to their guns and released 'Interview', a sardonic concept album.
Between them, Gentle Giant were masters of a dizzying array of instruments and, as five of the six members were consummate singers, they could also write and perform complex vocal harmonies.
The Gentle Giant debut album established the group as one of the most distinctive and forward-thinking of the new wave of prog rock bands to emerge in 1970.
With his original band, Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson nearly single-handedly sparked a prog revival and it continues with his concert film 'Home Invasion'.
Tackling greed and corruption in authority, Gentle Giant's 'The Power And The Glory' is a prog classic that continues to resonate.
Released in September 1973, 'In A Glass House' was a major turning point for the British prog rock legends Gentle Giant, setting them up for further glory.
Completing their transition from prog behemoths to more straightforward rockers, Gentle Giant's 'Giant For A Day!' album was an attempt to win a US fanbase.
Artists have long embraced their inner symphonic self as you can hear on these 25 classic orchestral rock tracks, featuring Yes to Radiohead.
Picking the most bizarre concept albums isn't easy, since the most beloved concept albums are themselves pretty bizarre, but here are a few masterstrokes.
The first concept album in Gentle Giant's formidable body of work, 'Three Friends' remains a well-loved record that hints at greater glories to come.
Gentle Giant's final album, 'Civilian' shocked many, but was full of hooky, chorus-heavy rock/pop songs as visceral as anything the new wave had to offer.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Two sick puppies hoping to get back on the road to recovery have been rescued after a plea by IACS.
Two Rottweiler mixes, who are just a few weeks old, were brought in to IACS Monday by an IMPD officer who found them abandoned. Two other puppies were also brought in, but had to be put down due to very low white blood cell levels.
After a hectic Tuesday at IACS, Helping PAWS, based out of Indianapolis, stepped up to the plate to take care of the dogs.
The puppies have tested negative for Parvo, but are showing symptoms related to the deadly disease. Parvo is a canine virus spread dog to dog by direct or indirect contact with their feces.
Helping PAWS told us Parvo has been on the rise in the area, but can be prevented.
"If people would vaccine their dogs, this would not happen at the levels we are seeing," said employee Missy Patton. "With more Parvo puppies being abandoned lately, it seems owners are dumping them to avoid the high price of treatment."
Vaccinations for Parvo cost around $50.
Without vaccinations, canine mortality rates are around 90% in untreated cases. Common symptoms include fever, bloody diarrhea, vomiting and lethargy.
"They are not doing well, someone needs to get them out as soon as possible," said IACS Public Information Officer Kristen Lee told us before the dogs were rescued.
If the puppies did not get into extended care by Wednesday, they faced humane euthanasia. The shelter originally posted a Tuesday 6 p.m. deadline for humane euthanasia, but a foster parent stepped up. A little bit later, IACS announced that Helping PAWS vowed to rescue the puppies.
According to Helping PAWS, they will be treated Wednesday with hopes of getting the pups back to health. After that, they will hopefully go back into foster care and then into their permanent homes.
The rescue group has already taken in four puppies stricken with Parvo this year. Each dog has to have around $5,000-$7,000 worth of treatment to recover.
In addition to Parvo-related symptoms, these have gastrointestinal problems which could make treatment even more experience. Both dogs were originally looked at by IACS' staff, but they did not have the capabilities to save the dogs.
Click here to donate towards the puppies' recovery.
Because these cases happen more often than you think, IACS are always looking to expand their rescue and foster parent networks.
If you're an animal rescue shelter wanting to help future dogs needing medical attention, please email email@example.com for more information.

Details of the massacre at a Connecticut elementary school were still emerging as local districts dismissed their students Friday afternoon, leaving little time to react to the situation.
Over the weekend, however, several school officials said they were already making plans to review and discuss security systems and procedures in the wake of the tragedy beginning on Monday.
John Hansen, superintendent of Beaver Area School District, said the event presents schools and administrators with an opportunity to look at and examine the things they have already put in place for student safety.
�We�ll gather our people together and really take pause and reflect on what happened and ask, �What does it mean for us?�� he said.
Hansen said it is also important not to make snap judgements during this highly-emotional situation, but to make decisions and changes in a systematic way.
The district has updated security systems at its two elementary schools in the past eight years, and has taken advice of experts on how to make each of its buildings a safe environment, according to Hansen.
�What you really want to make sure is that the children in the building feel like this is a caring place,� he said.
Superintendent Michelle Miller of Blackhawk School District said she and other administrators are set to meet with local law enforcement to evaluate their security after last week.
Miller said that a lockdown procedure and practice drills for what to do if an intruder were to enter one of the buildings are built into the district�s annual plan. But officials are waiting until more is revealed about the circumstances at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and to talk with local police, before considering whether to make changes to Blackhawk�s security, Miller said.
�We are always working with our local police officials to give feedback about what we could do better,� Miller said. �It doesn�t take one circumstance to make us reflect; we�re doing that on a yearly basis.�
Schools have made dramatic changes to their security since the 1999 shootings at Columbine High School near Littleton, Colo., from outlawing backpacks to requiring students to wear identification tags and even installing metal detectors.
Like the majority of public schools in the United States, Central Valley School District has regular intruder drills, electronic security and video surveillance systems in each of its four buildings.
Less common, however, is the presence of a full-time armed school resource officer, who is stationed at the high school.
Superintendent Daniel Matsook said the uniformed officer position was originally created through a grant, but now is funded through a partnership between the district and the Center Township Police Department.
Matsook said that on Monday, he and other administrators will meet with Center and Monaca police to discuss the district�s security strategy.
�Part of our meeting on Monday is to see how we can more effectively utilize that officer in all of our buildings,� Matsook said.
Quaker Valley School District also employs a full-time armed school resource officer, who was hired in the fall of 2007. Superintendent Joseph Clapper said that the district created the position to be proactive about student and faculty safety.
Quaker Valley�s officer and police from the four communities around the district already have discussed plans for increased security.
�We already called the police today and asked them to be a little more vigilant next week,� Clapper said on Saturday afternoon.
In an email sent to the district community on Saturday, Clapper also urged students and parents to help by sharing "any threatening or troubling information" with teachers, counselors, or school or law enforcement officials, or by calling the district�s tipline at (412) 749-3633.

One Of The Migos Might Have Just Bagged Chris Brown's Ex!
By ClassicOne
(AllHipHop Rumors) Let's hope there's no bottle throwing in clubs this time. Word on the street is that Karrueche has allegedly been dating Migos member Quavo for a little while now.
I honestly think girls get lost sometimes or they just want to have a little bit of "fun". I always say you can be friends with a certain type of individual, but they'd never be the type that you date.
This pairing is a little odd, but then again not really. I'd love to see their double dates with Offset and Cardi B.
Anyway, According to TMZ, Karrueche and Quavo were spotted being hugged up in Biloxi, Mississippi following the Gulf Port Spring Fest.
I think they're definitely messing because Biloxi, Mississippi isn't exactly one of the hot spots in the United States, so Karrueche wouldn't just be there.
Let us pray that C Breezy can keep his cool because Kae is definitely feeling "Bad & Boujee". What do you think of this new "couple"?

There's A Diversity Problem In Yoga, And Your Trendy New Studio Isn't The Solution
We deserve options.
Yoga has become the Roseanne of the wellness world. In theory, both were created for the everyday person but in a time when people are as woke as they are broke -- folks have been priced out and boxed into stereotypes when it comes to accessing yoga.
Prioritizing dollar demands, luxurious lotions and fancy towels are just a few reasons some yoga studios charge up to $235 per month for classes --- the equivalent of a round-trip flight from New York City to Los Angeles. A single drop-in class can cost between $10 and $25 (according to a Yoga Alliance survey in 2016)
That may not seem so bad, but when you consider the benefits of yoga and meditation (rewiring the brain to be less stressed; correlated with a decrease in gray-matter density in the amygdala) only happens after daily classes for eight weeks -- poorer folks are left shorter in dollars and shorter in results.
The breadcrumb solution doesn't work either, especially as some neighborhoods in the same city are getting the full organic sourdough multigrain, multi-seed, activated charcoal loaf of bread. For example, the government-funded program Shape Up in New York City offers free weekly yoga at locations such as Tremont and Co-Op City in the Bronx. However, the lack of frequency in these programs makes it hard for folks to establish an ongoing reliable practice.
Photo: Shape Up
The private sector has produced some organizations that offer a full schedule of classes including Yoga To The People. But with locations in trendy neighborhoods such as St. Marks and Williamsburg (also in New York City ) -- one has to wonder if yoga is only reserved for those who wear skinny jeans and cropped tops and whose only religion is the church of brunch?
The biological myth of the western yogi tells the story of a size 2 white woman who wears $168 yoga tights and gets manicures downtown on a Tuesday afternoon. For the yoga world, this legitimizes and excuses a negligence, disservice and even hatred towards those who don't fit the mold.
This is why Google Maps can pull up more than 20 results for yoga studios in Chelsea and only one in the south Bronx. It's the same reason why Black body-positive feminist and yogi, Jessamyn Stanley, has over 360,000 Instagram followers and a profile in Forbes -- yet isn't a regular teacher for an online channel, app or yoga studio.
It's not just the physical movement of yoga that low-income communities and communities of color are missing out on. Practices such as compassion meditation help individuals work through their suffering and teaches us how to be kinder to ourselves and the world around us.This sentiment of not having a relatable space or face to heal has been promoted by Taraji P. Henson as she launched a nonprofit in her father's name after she realized how hard it was to find a black therapist for her son following the death of her son's father and grandfather. Taraji told the Breakfast Club, "When it was time to seek help for myself and my son, we couldn't find anybody that looks like us. So I know my son's going to have issues. He has trust issues…. Who do I go and talk to? When the person on the opposite side of that sofa doesn't look like you, you're not going to tell your truth."
In the yoga world, a simple Instagram search for #yogaeverydamnday reveals how white the movement is. You may be scrolling for a few minutes to find a Black or brown body.
This is what wellness has come to. Not affordable. Not geographically convenient. Not representative. The yoga movement has become culturally incompetent.
There's no magic bullet to solve this overnight. The ship of multinational and chain yoga businesses are never going to dock in communities like the Bronx. They've never even left their wealthy shores.
It's time for communities that have been excluded from the yoga movement to build something by them and for them. Led by folks such as Vibrant Awakenings and Sweetwater Dance and Yoga, we are seeing folks getting certified from within and growing something that's organic to the needs of their community.

Connecting FAST to your Computer¶
This page is about connecting the FAST system to your computer. It roughly covers connecting the bus between the nodes. For electronic details see the FAST section in the pinballmakers.com Wiki.
FAST Nano¶
Connect your FAST NANO controller to your PC using USB.
Then connect the OUT port of your NANO to the IN port of your first node board. Consequently, connect the OUT port of the first node to the IN port of your second board. Connect the OUT port of the last board back to the IN port of your NANO.
number: setting for each driver/switch is its board's position number in the
chain, then the dash, then the driver/switch number. Note that the position
number starts with zero, so the first IO board in the chain is 0, the second
is 1, etc.
Node boards¶
Fast offers three different types of node boards:
0804 - 8 Switches, 4 Drivers¶
1616 - 16 Switches, 16 Drivers¶
3208 - 32 Switches, 08 Drivers¶
On Linux: Add udev rules to ensure persistent device names¶
If you have more than one ttyUSB device connected to your PC (e.g. the FAST Nano and a FAST DMD) you can assign a name to your ports based on the USB port they are connected to.
First identify the port of your FAST hardware. Usually it should be
/dev/ttyUSB0 or
Then run
udevadm info on your port:
udevadm inf /dev/ttyUSB0
This will show you the
DEVPATH. Now replace the last part
ttyUSBX with
an asterisk and add an udev rules like this in
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ACTION=="add", DEVPATH=="/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.1/*", SYMLINK+="ttyNET", GROUP="adm", MODE="0660"
After a reboot you should get a
/dev/ttyNET device if you connect a FAST
device to that specific USB port. You can use that port in your config.

The resulting recommendations are data driven and not only describe a clear set of next steps toward improving the product, but also highlight previously unforeseen areas to address."Bret Nagy, Technical Director, Microgroove
Information Architecture & Content Strategy
Information architecture (IA) is the structural design of a shared information space. IA tasks analyze and synthesize organizational goals, user needs, content properties, and technical requirements into coherent, actionable models. Content strategy orchestrates the purposeful planning, creation, delivery, and governance of content. Content strategy and IA work hand-in-hand on information rich sites to ensure that content is findable, useful, and responsive to both user needs and business goals.
Common Activities
- Card sorting and tree testing
- Content inventorying & auditing
- Content modeling
- Taxonomy & metadata design
- Page layout, wireframing & interaction design
- Navigation modeling & design
Key Outcomes
- Creating usable, useful, goal-oriented interfaces
- Framing common language and alignment across systems (CMS, CRM, ERP)
- Bridging system touchpoint (desktop, mobile, voice, smart device, and third party integrations)
Design Research
Research is the cornerstone of effective design. It's how we know we're solving the right problem—and often points to novel, elegant solutions. I tailor research efforts to scale to client resources and needs, and focus on finding the answers needed to produce positive change.
Common Activities
- Stakeholder and user interviewing
- Contextual analysis
- Competitive auditing
- Heuristic reviews
- Baseline and prototype usability testing
- Research synthesis and design principles framing
- Persona and archetype creation
Key Outcomes
- Clear and actionable design principles
- Alignment on key tasks and use cases
- Clear business and user goal definition
Linked Data Design & Development
Linked data techniques connect structured content on the web. This makes information easier for users to find, and easier for search engines and AI powered smart agents to locate, "understand," and use. A lot of linked data practices look very technical and algorithm focused, but all of them are ultimatley designed to make content and messaging more available, usable, and trustworthy.
Common Activities
- Attribute modeling
- Metadata application profile creation
- Ontology adoption and design
- CMS integration support
Key Outcomes
- Content optimized for modern search engines
- Inreased control over the integrity and use of content
- Data made available on the semantic web
- Content made available to voice interface smart agents and digital assistants.
Workshops & Classes
I offer a variety of client and practitioner focused workshops, each customized and targeted to specific, measureable outcomes and designed to create durable, positive change for organizations and individuals. I am a formally trained university-level educator, though don't expect any dusty lectures—I am also a firm believer in the power of structured, interactive, hands-on learning.

City Limits: Will New York Follow Texas In Criminal Justice Reform?
Alberto Ramos was a 21-year-old college student and part-time substitute teacher's aide, aspiring to be a teacher, when he was accused and then convicted in 1985 of raping a five-year-old in the Bronx day-care center where he worked.
In a case based largely on the child's sworn testimony, Ramos was accused of taking a girl into the Concourse Day Care bathroom during nap time. She was found to have vaginal bruising and her grandmother testified that when she picked her up from school, the child was crying. Amid media-fueled hysteria over a wave of child sex abuse in day-care centers, Ramos was found guilty.
Joel Rudin, who laid out Ramos' case in The Fordham Law Review in 2011, writes that when Ramos was convicted of two counts of rape in the first degree "He screamed in agony, 'Kill me.'"
In 1992, the conviction was overturned after the alleged victim's mother filed a civil suit against both the New York City-funded day-care center and Ramos. The city's insurance settled, but a civil defense attorney—who was able to obtain evidence that Ramos did not have access to for his criminal case—believed Ramos was innocent. The lawyer got permission to share the information with Ramos, who had been suffering severe abuse in prison for seven years on an 8-and-1/3 to 25-year sentence as a child rapist.
Among the omissions that could have aided in Ramos' defense was a log showing that the grandmother who testified against him had not, in fact, picked the girl up from day-care that day in 1984. There was evidence showing other reasons for the child's vaginal irritation and an interview in which the girl had initially denied Ramos raped her.
None of it had been turned over.
In 1963, the Supreme Court decided in Brady v. Maryland that, in criminal cases, prosecutors must disclose all evidence that could be "material" to the defense.
Yet when a criminal case is brought in New York State, evidence is not shared automatically with the defense. Instead, defense attorneys must file motions for evidence, and prosecutors are left to decide what constitutes "Brady material" that they must show the other side. Some argue that judges have discretion to force prosecutors to turn over more, but most don't interpret the statute that way, according to Susannah Karlsson, a special litigation attorney for Brooklyn Defender Services.
Defense attorneys have long pointed to the role of New York's restrictive discovery statute, Article 240 of the Criminal Procedure Law, in laying the groundwork for wrongful convictions by providing cover for prosecutors to withhold Brady material and allowing them to railroad defendants before trial.
But as DNA evidence has led to a mass of exonerations in recent years and stories like Ramos' have surfaced, the movement to replace Article 240 has been taken up by a growing coalition of stakeholders lobbying lawmakers and rallying grassroots support. The calls to fix New York's discovery statute include law enforcement and corrections officers, as well as lawyers, judges and the wrongfully accused—all echoing what Judge John P. Collins said in his opinion overturning the Ramos conviction, that an "unjust" conviction "reflects unfavorably on all participants in the criminal justice system."
They're pushing to replace or amend the state's discovery statute by the end of this legislative session and they are cautiously optimistic that they're gaining ground.
A history of concern
It is no wonder that Ramos' innocence only emerged through an action in civil court, where a policy of showing the defense the entire prosecutor's file prevails.
New York's discovery law is considered one of the most restrictive in the country.
Justine Olderman, managing attorney of the criminal defense practice at the Bronx Defenders, which represents indigent clients facing charges, explained that most district attorneys interpret Article 240 to mean that the only evidence they must make available early on are statements made by the defendant and scientific texts or reports.
"Otherwise, that's it," she said, adding, "Most evidence is witnesses, most evidence is witness statements, most evidence is witness testimony." Most evidence, that is, is the kind that defendants "don't get access to until trial."

GBoard users be prepared as Google might release in a latest GBoard Update soon. It's of worth waiting as the popular GIF selfie feature. It can be easily accessed straight from the Gboard suggestion bar after the update. Apparently users need not dwell inside the emoji tab to access GIF-making feature thereafter.
As per the source, the newly introduced GIF button, allows for GIFs to be recorded from the front and back camera. Basically, it lets you record in two modes: "Loop" and "Fast Forward". The former is a sort of 'to and fro' GIF visuals that can be recorded for three seconds. Whereas the latter lets you record up to one minute and gives output as fastforwarded. Once recording is over, you can just send it via any messaging apps that support GIF format. All the process is as easy as typing, isn't it?
Meanwhile, the re-positioned GIF selfies button seems to be live on iOS counterpart of GBoard. It's only a matter of time when Google will officially roll-out the feature to the Android version of GBoard though.
Well, GIFs are an effective and innovative medium for expressing our feelings and thoughts. Due to this property, the format has got its immense presence across various instant messaging apps as well as in some native keyboards. Evidently, its popularity and acceptance among users need to be the driving force that made Google to position the GIF button in a more pleasing location.

GREENVILLE, Pa.—Thiel College, a leading liberal arts college in northwestern Pennsylvania, announces the Thiel Players present "Clybourne Park," the winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best New Play, Nov. 10-12 in the William A. Robinson Theater.
The production is free and open to the public. Reservations are not necessary, but are recommended.
Written by Bruce Norris, "Clybourne Park" is a satire that explores race and poverty across two generations 50 years apart. The first act portrays a "white flight" where white families moved out of city neighborhoods and were replaced by minority families. In the 50 years that pass from the first act to the second, white families are moving back in, and begin to renovate areas that became predominantly minority neighborhoods.
"It is an unfortunate reality evidenced by events in Charlottesville (as only one example) of how far we have yet to go as a society to have an open and honest conversation about race relations in America," Assistant Professor of Performing Arts and show director Pete Rydberg, Ph.D., said. "Norris' play does an incredible job at portraying two parallel moments in this nation's history—one focused on a neighborhood's integration, and one on its gentrification—and helping advance the conversation that is crucial to our society's continued quest for equal rights and mutual respect."
The Thiel Players have provided free theater for the campus and community for five decades. They choose productions on a three-year rotation. Over the course of six semesters, students work on a Classical piece, a period-language piece, an early modernist piece, an English language classic, a contemporary play, a musical and a production for young audiences.
Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 10-11 and 2 p.m. on Nov 12. The William A. Robinson Theater is located behind the William A. Passavant Memorial Center on campus.
Thiel College is a private liberal arts institution founded in the Lutheran tradition. Located in Greenville, Pa., the College offers 60 majors and minors, 24 varsity sports, and an 11:1 student-faculty ratio. A dedicated faculty paired with dynamic research and internship opportunities produce numerous graduate school and job placements. Coeducational from its beginnings, the College celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2016 and remains committed to combining tradition with innovation.

Hello, friends of Three Speeds! I just got in some new stickers for the Society.
First up is the large version of the Society of Three Speeds logo. This one has a three inch diameter (vs. the 1 1/2 inch of the regular one). Like the smaller stickers, this one is weather resistant. If you are a member, you can purchase one for $2 (plus shipping/fees), while supplies last. Not a member? It's included in the Deluxe membership kit.
And I also made some of these nifty Three Speed Camping stickers! If you've been around here long enough you know I'm a big proponent of camping trips via three speeds. This three inch, weather-resistant sticker is here to celebrate that. Have you been on a three speed camping trip? If you have, you can grab one of these stickers for $2 (plus shipping/fees.) Haven't been on a Three Speed Camping Trip yet? You can still get one, if you intend to go on one in the near future (let's say by the end of 2020). I should be making some patches of this at some point, too! But if you buy one of these stickers, be prepared to tell me about your past and/or upcoming three speed camping trip!

China's steel output in 2020 is expected to remain robust following strong growth last year, but lower demand from the nation's slowing economy is sparking concerns of oversupply that could put pressure on prices.
Total output for steel in China last year was around 980 million tons, up 6% from 2018, while domestic demand rose relatively in lockstep at the same growth rate.
But in 2019 the growth rate for steel production is expected to remain at similar levels, even as growth in demand is expected to slow sharply to 2% to about 890 million tons, a general assembly of the China Iron and Steel Association said on Saturday.
The World Steel Association predicts China's domestic demand will grow by an even lower 1% in 2020 as the nation's economy continues to cool.

When I was 16 years old, I was in deep like with a guy I was dating. He was purely the anti-boyfriend of my parents' choosing. He drove a black car with a souped up engine. He smoked cigarettes. He had horrible manners. He would beep the horn for me when he came to pick me up. It drove my mother crazy. I mean really looking back - he had no respect.
But that's not why I'll remember him. What I'll remember is that I went to an amusement park one weekend and bought a keychain that had both our names with a heart in between them. I thought it was cute and I thought he'd get a little chuckle out of it. Uh - not! He read me the riot act about how I pressure guys (how he heard about me) and that I was simply too pushy and that he didn't think this whole thing was going to work out. All this on my front doorstep.
Needless to say, I was devastated. I hadn't known this about myself whether it was his truth or the truth. I carried it with me up until the point I realized that I was in a fully reciprocal relationship (my wedding day!).
What's the moral of this story? Well, it was kind of pushy for me to buy a keychain with our names when he wasn't my boyfriend and he didn't buy it with me or for me. I was forcing the issue. So take this teenage lesson and apply it to your lives now - never force the issue. It only makes you look desperate or clueless.
Tips That You're Moving Too Fast
1. You call him before you give him a chance to return the FIRST call
2. You are thinking about what your children will look like
3. You are leaving things in his house "by accident" like a toothbrush, underwear, etc.
4. You quiz him about his incoming calls--everyday!
5. You WANT to quiz him about his incoming phone calls
6. You want to meet his mother and ask her stuff about his childhood
7. You aren't interested in meeting anyone else and have been dating for a month

Summer means staying inside to escape the sweltering heat
around here and that means sewing projects.
My husband recently gave me a couple of his shirts that
he doesn't want anymore and said,
"Let's see what you can do with these."
Challenge on.
Challenge accepted.
My girl needed something new so I decided to make something for her.
I know in the pics above the shirt color is different.
My boy accidentally deleted the original photo of my girl
in the shirt pre-refashioning so I had to take a quick pic of her in another shirt.
They are exactly the same,
I just wanted you to get the idea of what the before's and after's look like.
So here's the before. Way too big. Not a cute look for my cute girl.
So let's start cutting and picking out.
First remove the front pocket by carefully picking out the stitching.
Now let's start chopping. First the sleeves have to go.
Next cut straight across just below the collar on the front side.
Flip the shirt over and cut a straight line across the yoke.
Now for the front bodice.
This will be made out of the back of the shirt.
Measure your girl,
or yourself if this is for you to get the front measurement from the chest to the waist.
Cut straight across the shirt at the desired length.
I wanted to add some pin-tucks to the front of the boddice.
Pin in place.
Then straight stitch down.
Now for the arm holes.
I measured from the top of the shoulder to under the arm.
Put pins or mark where those measurments line up.
Fold the bodice in half and cut the armhole like shown.
Here it is unfolded.
Lay the front bodice over the front of the shirt where the buttons are.
Cut an identical piece out.
With the rest of the shirt, cut straight across.
This piece will be the skirt.
Cut the curvy part off too.
This part is optional, depending on the look you are going for.
Now I need some bias tape for the shoulder straps.
Cut the sleeve completely open.
Cut some diagonal strips like shown.
Seam the strips together.
I didn't know how much exactly I would need for the straps
so I made one continuous strip of bias tape.
Sew together like shown.
I top stitched each junction.
Now we are ready to assemble the dress.
Pin the front and back bodice pieces together with right sides facing each other.
Sew side seams.
I topstitched each side seam too.
Gather up the skirt.
I'm using my gathering foot, but use any method you're comfortable with.
Pin bias tape to the top edge of the wrong side of each piece of the bodice.
Stitch in place.
For the front bodice, fold the bias tape over then stitch in place across the front of the bodice.
Follow the same method for the arm holes.
Start at the back of the bodice sewing the bias tape in place.
Fold over the starting point fabric.
This will give you a clean edge for the strap when you attach the other side.
Clip the curve of the arm hole like shown. This will make the curve easier to sew in place.
Measure the length you need for the strap around the shoulder.
Top stitch the bias tape in place,
tucking the end of the strap inside the folded piece you started with.
I added another top stitch to secure the joint.
Roll hem the bottom edge of the skirt.
This was just slightly too short for my girl
so I dug through my stash and found
a gorgeous piece of eyelet that originally
was a dust ruffle I found at Goodwill a long time ago.
It's been sitting patiently waiting for me to use it.
Today was the day.
And I still have plenty left over for another day.
Gather the eyelet piece.
Pin everything together matching right sides.
Serge or zigzag in place.
I added another straight stitch line to secure everything and give me a clean seam.
And done!
I'm so loving the buttons down the back!
From a Man's Shirt...
To a super cute dress!
Happy Surviving the Summer Heat!
PS. My Husband didn't believe me when I told him that I made the dress from his shirt.
How's that for Challenge Beaten!

I posted this initially for Mother's Day. However, I just had another close encounter with my Mom on Twitter that made me repost.
The next time your hanging out with your Mom, try teaching her a thing or two about Twitter. As you see in the above video, moms on Twitter are like moms in real life: fun, funny, caring, adorable and engaging. It'll bring you closer and provide some laughs as well.
Here are some things to prepare for…
She says, "But, I don't have anything to say."
You say, "Ok, but I know you don't like it when I don't call you back. Sometimes I get busy and if you're curious what I'm up to, Twitter is an easy way to find out. You can get a lot out of Twitter without ever tweeting. Once you get comfortable with it, you can reply to me and I'll see it just like I'd see a message from a friend."
She says, "I don't care about celebrities."
You say, "But you care about me! There are tons of interesting accounts that you would like, too. Did you know that Martha Stewart (@marthastewart), Margaret Atwood (@MargaretAtwood) and Jamie Oliver (@jamieoliver) are all on Twitter? And, I know you like [gardening/art/travel/skydiving]. There are all sorts of accounts to keep you connected to your interests."

Recently, we placed a PICC that ended up coiled in the subclavian vein. What is your protocol for repositioning these? We do not have a Sherlock and we don't do catheter exchanges yet. We know that you are not supposed to pull the catheter out and re-insert. Would you do an exchange or place a whole new PICC?

PICC coiled
Wed, 10/24/2007 - 22:35#2
In the old days, before we
In the old days, before we had US and tip location systems, we would leave the stylet wire in place, encase the entire external portion of the catheter in sterile 4X4's and wrap the arm with sterile Kling or Kerlix. Then get a stat chest xray (IV nurse was assessing tip location even then). If it was coiled or malpositioned, we would take down the dressing and withdraw and readvance. Please note - the entire external catheter was not allowed in contact with the skin, the IV nurse went with the patient to xray so we monitored their activity with that arm, and we were assessing the chest xray immediately. This took less than 30 minutes before we knew the location of tip and position of the catheter. Then we would finish the procedure by re-creating a sterile field, removing the wire and flushing and securing the catheter. I would not recommend this without these controls. Lynn

Lynn's comment is how I fix
Lynn's comment is how I fix most malpositions as well. I have learned to look at the IJ in the neck to find a malposition there before I even call for a chest x-ray. I can usually fix those easily, maintaining my initial sterile field. Just have to be very careful where I put my US probe after looking at the neck in order not to contaminate my field.

Man, Exor now is hillariously easy, first time with Exor took me like 1-2 weeks to kill, v049 took me like 10-15 attempts, this one i killed it at third try maaaaaaan
That's because you got better at it. The same rule applied to most people with the Mecha Birdo fight in the original IWBTG. I admittedly haven't tried it yet since I'm past that part and just picked up at Chapter 2 (derp) where I left off, so I don't know for sure, but be sure that you're taking that into consideration. I wonder how well a new player would do against it.
It's a meme.

This is annoying me for more than a year but nobody at bunq seems to listen. So bunq is blocking Push notifications when you pay with Apple Pay on purpose and they thought that it is a good idea because Apple Wallet and probably Google Pay aswell (I´m only using Apple Pay) have their own push notification.
The thing is that there are multiple problems with the Apple Wallet Push which is why the bunq push BY FAR SUPERIOUR.
Apple Wallet Push Notifications are unreliable
I´ve noticed several times that push notifications arrive minutes or hours later. Sometimes they don´t arrive at all.
No Push for subscriptions
If you´re paying for a subscription by Apple Pay you will only get a push notification for the first transaction. After that no more push notifications, because bunq is SUPPRESSING THEM FOR APPLE PAY TRANSACTIONS.
Missing information
The Apple Wallet notification is missing data, which is the most annoying part. You won´t get exchange rates with Apple Wallet Push. While with the bunq push there would be the amount in the home currency aswell as the currency you´ve paid in, with Apple Wallet Push you only get the amount in the currency you´ve paid in.
You can´t look into the transaction
With bunq push you would be able to tap on the transaction notification, the bunq app would open and you could directly look further into the transaction. With Apple Wallet Push this is not possible.
I know that bunq is suppressing their push because otherwise you would get double notifications (one from bunq, one from wallet). But the thing is that you can actually deactivate Apple Wallet Push notifications on a per card basis. I´ve deactivated Wallet Push for all my other cards because they have a reliable working push service by themselves. Its only the bunq card for which I can´t disable them because then I wouldn´t get any notification at all.
Hi simoncz
This is now possible in todays update (at least on iOS) in version 13.3.0. You can find the settings to enable bunq's notifications under Profile > Security and settings > Notifications > Apple Pay payments.
Don't forget to disable the Wallet notification to prevent duplicates. Go to Wallet > Card > ••• > Allow notifications.
Yes please! This annoys me a lot!
yes, bunq needs to make this possible ASAP, other banks would display a message that says something like "turning this on might result in double notifications, please turn off Wallet notifications in iOS settings when using this to prevent that"
Agreed, it's a shame bunq still refuses to do this whilst there has been so many requests. They suddenly changed it out of nowhere and don't allow us to revert, so we are stuck with inferior notifications AND worst of all: limited to the device you're paying on.
LH-Black-Wolf Oh yes thats something I forgot to mention, thanks for bringing that up! Apple Wallet Push are for one device only while with bunq push you'll get a notification on your watch aswell as on your phone.
Otherwise if you pay with your watch you won't get a notification on your phone
Would be for that too.
Tim Finally my prayers got heard 🙌 Thanks for the headsup
Tim Great news!
Enabled! So this returns the original function like it was right? You get a notification from bunq from all accounts, on both the Watch as iPhone, also if it's the Apple Pay payment of your partner in a Joint account? :)
Wow super 👍🏼

EUPHORIA PHOTOGRAPHY - WE SHOOT LESS WEDDINGS - MASTERPIECES CANNOT BE MASS PRODUCED. WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS IN THE ISLE OF SKYE AND THROUGHOUT SCOTLAND.Menu
Isle of Skye is an amazing location for weddings and elopements, but it is also a very romantic venue for a marriage proposal.
We have a dedicated page especially for those planning to secretly propose to their loved one. You can find it here.
One of our favourite types of photography is proposal photography, as the mood of the day is so euphoric! If you are considering proposing on the Isle of Skye, we have shortlisted five stunning outdoor locations that you might like to consider:
1. Talisker Beach. It's probably best not to attempt this in high heels, but Talisker Beach is a beautiful location for any proposal.
2. The Quiraing. If the idea of the walk all the way up to the Quiraing doesn't appeal, it can be used as a backdrop for the photography.
3. Sligachan Bridge. The bridge is very easily accessible and has panoramic views of the dramatic, jagged Cuillins.
4. Dun Beag Broch. This is the best-preserved broch on Skye, affording beautiful views.
5. Coral Beach. Located north of Dunvegan Castle, this is another walk that shouldn't be attempted in high heels! However, it's not a taxing walk and the location is beautiful.
Skye also has some spectacular castles, which would provide a fairy-tale location for a proposal. The romantic ruins of Armadale Castle and the luxury of Dunvegan Castle make them excellent proposal locations.
We love the romance and secrecy of proposal photography! If you are planning a wedding proposal, please get in touch - we'd love to hear all about your plans!

Swiggy looks beyond food delivery, announces Swiggy Stores delivery service
Now order fruits, vegetables and more on Swiggy
Swiggy, one of the most popular food delivery platforms in India has launched new Swiggy Stores service to deliver products from local stores. Until now, Swiggy's only service was food delivery, with coverage across eighty cities in India.
Only last week, Swiggy announced the acquisition of a Bengaluru based AI startup called Kint.io. The acquisition would reportedly help Swiggy in making its deliveries more efficient, in addition to improving discovery for customers.
Now, Swiggy is seemingly using its expertise in the delivery aspect of its services to expand its business with Swiggy Stores. Although there are settled players in this area like Big Basket and Grofers with Amazon Now operating in a limited fashion, the current delivery chain that these services have is a little underwhelming.
Swiggy could ideally swoop in and gain market share with faster deliveries and a better user experience overall. This also helps Swiggy set itself apart from its existing rivals like Zomato, Foodpanda and Uber Eats, which only offer food delivery.
According to a TechCrunch report, orders from Swiggy Stores are expected to be delivered in an hour or less, and users will be able to order a range of products, including fruits, vegetables, kirana items, health supplements, medicine and more.
Initially, Swiggy Stores service will only be available in Gurgaon where the company has partnered with more than 3,500 stores. Other major cities can be expected to be covered in the next phase, but the exact timeline is not known yet.
Sriharsha Majety, Swiggy co-founder and CEO, said in a blog post,
"We realized we could bring the food delivery like magical reality and convenience to a lot of other local commerce needs. Just like how we democratized seamless delivery across over half a lakh restaurants in the country, we can democratize convenience across millions of other merchants/ businesses in our cities."

Ok let me summarize where I am at.
I can create a user. There are no notifications that are being sent to anyone. The admin and the customer need to get some sort of notification that someone has signed up.
When the user is in the process of creating an account when you click on subscribe for paypal I am getting the paypal errors
Invalid first trial period. You must specify valid values for the A1, P1, and T1 parameters for a subscription
None of the buddypress pages are being created. If you click on edit profile it says page cannot be displayed.
Lots of issues, how do I get a refund if this is not going to work?

October 25th, 2015, 20:25 Posted By: wraggsterSurprisingly, says Ars Technica's review of Amazon's $50 Fire tablet, it doesn't suck. "There's simply very little reason to spend more when you can get 90 percent of the functionality for a fraction of the price," writes Mark Walton. "The only real niggle right now with the Fire Tablet is the display (and the camera, if you really want to take photos with your tablet). Once budget tabs start coming with 1080p displays as standard, the writing really will be on wall. For now, the Amazon Fire Tablet is the budget tablet to beat." How does cheap technology like this mesh with Bill Gates's dream of putting a computer in every home, and projects like OLPC? Beyond that, any thoughts on what a $50 tablet price point might inspire in education, gaming, and other areas?

In all my years of traveling, there has only been one time when I regretted NOT buying something while I was on vacation. And it was this summer while The Girl and I were visiting Vancouver, Canada. We happened upon the Granville Island Broom Company on Granville Island and I absolutely fell in love with their handmade brooms. And I am still kicking myself for not buying one while we were there.
I have this crazy dream that one day I'll live in a Saltbox or Colonial style home in the Northeast and it will be {minimally} filled with handmade, useful things. And well this broom, this broom would totally fit into that scenario.
"Sisters Mary and Sarah Schwieger learned to make brooms from their family while growing up in the Kootenay region of BC. The brooms are woven using Shaker methods and are designed to withstand years with regular use."
If you've read this blog for any length of time then you know I strive to make my money count. I'm not into designer things, and I love finding the best deals, but there is also this side of me that totally appreciates well made handmade items. Things that were made one at a time, with great care, and by one person. Those are the things {along with pastries} I'm willing to splurge on. Partly because I can see exactly where my money is going, and the other part being in awe of the skills involved to make a unique item.
Luckily, while we were at the shop, they were making brooms.
Handmade. It's where's it's at. If you are ever in the area, stop by and check out the handmade brooms at the Granville Island Broom Co. They are truly a work of art.

The RAF Benevolent Fund has just opened a brand new Airplay park at RAF Brize Norton as part of our commitment to young people on RAF stations. Sixteen year old Patrick Button, whose dad is serving in the RAF, tells us more in this blog.
Airplay has been a great experience for me, I've met loads of great people through it and I will never forget the memories I got from them.
I have lived at Brize for about just over six years and enjoyed all of it. Airplay has made a difference to me because it has helped me get more involved with the RAF. I've been part of it all my life as a forces child, but now through Airplay I represent young people on the station in all kinds of ways, like a tri-service residential taking place in November.
I would say Airplay has made a difference to my mates as well, because it has enabled us to make new friends through the youth workers. My mates also learn a bit about the RAF that they didn't know before.
The new Airplay park is a great achievement. It shows that the RAF isn't just about people who work there but about the families, including non-forces families. It's great that this new park will benefit the whole community.
If I was to describe Airplay in three words they would have to be: enjoyable, memorable and amazing.

Houston traffic is horrible and about to get a lot worse (unless we do this)
Texas' population grew by almost 60 percent since 1990, adding 10 million residents at the fastest rate in the nation. All those new folks bring their automobiles, and day after day we're trying to cram more and more cars onto our roadways, bringing traffic through important arteries of commerce to a near standstill daily.
But looking ahead, things could get even worse. The state demographer projected Texas population will double by 2050—so are we prepared to double the capacity of our transportation infrastructure, or will our cities stall in unbreakable gridlock? One research group is sounding the alarm.
"The current highway system is already inadequate," said Carolyn Kelly, co-author of a recent report on the Texas highway system. "Texas will need massive upgrade projects, otherwise you could be looking at a transportation system that's increasingly congested and doesn't support the growth of the state."
Kelly and others worked on behalf of TRIP, a national transportation research group, to mine data from the Texas Department of Transportation and produce a prioritized list of major upgrade projects in major cities across the Lone Star State. The project plans belong to TXDOT, but the priorities are the work of TRIP, based on how badly improvements are needed and how easily improvements could be implemented.
Houston has an exceptionally deep reliance on its roadways; past research by the Center for Houston's Future found that the city's population swells by over 30 percent daily, as about 600,000 people drive into the city for work every day. Almost half of city workers spend more than an hour commuting each day.
RELATED: 21 facts about Houston you probably didn't know
Research abounds with insight into the detrimental effects of traffic congestion. It stalls business efficiency, elongating transport times for goods and forcing workers to spend more time being idle and unproductive behind the wheel.
It also induces anxiety, a feeling that can take years off of commuters' lives when experienced on a daily basis. Tiny cancer-causing particles wafting out of exhaust pipes make their ways into commuters' lungs amidst regular gridlocks of thousands of vehicles. The general air quality also suffers; more traffic means each vehicle spends more time on the road, spewing noxious fumes into the city ambiance.
TRIP recommended 100 upgrade projects for Texas and 15 for Houston, but they come with a hefty price tag. The group's most highly-recommended work for Houston, an expansion of Interstate 45 from the city's center to near its southern edge, is priced at $6.7 billion. To put that in perspective, statewide voters passed a $1.7 billion transportation spending plan to upgrade infrastructure.
RELATED: TxDOT unveils spending plan for Prop. 1 money
"These projects and many others will remain standing on the drawing board unless Texas can provide added transportation funding at the state and local levels," Kelly said.
She said improving roadways alone won't be enough to stem Texas' mounting transportation problems, and a well-balanced approach will include upgrades to public transportation. Significant efforts currently in the works include high-speed rails lines linking Dallas and Houston and San Antonio and Austin (which Forbes ranked the nation's 4th-most congested city in 2014).
But the TRIP focused exclusively on highways, not public transportation.
Check out our slideshow to see the 15 top recommended upgrade projects to Houston highways.

Studio justifies Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince delay
Well, when I say justify, they don't at all, they skirt around the issue apologising to the fans and try and sell the positive that it'll be less of a wait between this and Deathly Hallows.
Still it's some kind of attempt to address the resentment that they've created within the Harry Potter fan world online what with petitions being started and sites and forums filling with comments.
Last week Warner Bros. announced that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince would be delayed until summer 2009, it's original release date was for autumn (fall) 2008, not that far away.
However the fanbase was quick to respond and make their outrage heard, and as with all things Harry Potter, the studio was quick to notice and respond.
Here are the comments from Alan Horn the President and CEO of Warner Bros through Cinema Blend:
"Please be assured that we share your love for Harry Potter and would certainly never do anything to hurt any of the films. Over the past 10 years, we have nurtured and protected each film, and the integrity of the books upon which they are based, to the best of our ability.
The decision to move "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was not taken lightly, and was never intended to upset our Harry Potter fans. We know you have built this series into what it is, and we thank you for your ongoing enthusiasm and support.
If I may offer a silver lining: there would have been a two-year gap between "Half-Blood Prince" and the much-anticipated first part of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," which opens in November 2010.
So although we have to wait a little longer for "Half-Blood Prince," the wait from that film until "Deathly Hallows" will be less than 18 months. I am sorry to have disappointed you now, but if you hold on a little longer, I believe it will be worth the wait."
There's no explanation, but we know that it's much better for any studio to have a film such as this released during the summer months, after all it is one of the biggest films that WB have to release, and they want to maximise the audience they'll get from it, and therefore the profit.
However why don't you sit proud in the fact that you'll only have to wait a year for the follow up, Deathly Hallows…or rather the two films for Deathly Hallows.
Personally I think it's quite a wait, and if Harry Potter wasn't such a strong franchise with such a powerful and devoted following I wouldn't think that they could get away with this, but it's precisely that reason that means they can.
It's you, the fans out there, that are allowing them to move the film, because they know that you'll wait and they know you'll still go and see it next year. You're tied into the series and there's no way you're not going to see it through to the bitter end.
The underlying message from Warner Bros. is, tough, we're doing it to maximise profits and have a big summer film to release and compete against everyone else, and you'll just have to wait, and you will.

Email Tip #2327
Ever wanted to irritate the hell out of people you are supposed to send an email to?
Just write a simple email, attach a document, and send.
And then, realize that you made a typo error, change that error, and send again.
Then, discover that you shouldn't put the words "Thank you." on a line on its own, fix it, and then send again.
Go to your office, and well, just to be sure, send the email again.
And then be wary that the email system may have gobbled up your email, and send again.
Then make sure the email system really gives you an error (even though the email is already sent), and send again.
While you're at it, let's send the email one more time.
