Brazil's outspoken far right president Jair Bolsonaro has explained to Israeli authorities that remarks he made about the crimes of the Holocaust being forgivable had been misconstrued.
Brazil's new leader made the comments last Thursday as he met with evangelical leaders and was talking about a visit he made early this month to the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum in Jerusalem.
"We can forgive but we cannot forget. And that is my statement. Those who forget the past are condemned to having no future," Bolsonaro had said.
Israeli President Reuven Rivlin took to Twitter in response, although without mentioning the Brazilian leader by name.
"We will always oppose those who deny the truth or those who wish to expunge our memory -- not individuals or groups, not party leaders or prime ministers. We will never forgive and never forget," Rivlin wrote.
In a letter sent to Israeli authorities over the weekend, Bolsonaro insisted that he had been misunderstood. He referred again to his visit to Israel.
"In the guest book at the Holocaust Museum, I wrote 'Those who forget the past are condemned to having no future.' So any other interpretation only interests those who want to distance me from my Jewish friends," he wrote in the letter, which was posted on social media by the Israeli ambassador to Brazil, Yossi Shelley.
Bolsonaro raised eyebrows in other ways during his visit to Israel, saying for example that Nazism was a leftist political movement.
In his new letter, he sought to clarify his concept of forgiveness.
"Forgiveness is something personal, never in an historic context such as the case of the Holocaust, in which millions of innocent people were murdered in a cruel genocide," Bolsonaro wrote.
Shelley defended Bolsonaro, saying his letter left no doubt that he believed the Holocaust was "the biggest genocide in history." Shelley called the president a friend of the Israeli government and people.
Bolsonaro has sought close ties with Israel since coming to power in January. He has pledged to follow the US lead in moving his country's embassy to Jerusalem. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was one of few foreign heads of state or government that attended Bolsonaro's inauguration.
At home, Bolsonaro is a former military man who has praised the country's time as a dictatorship from 1964 to 1985 and made remarks that insulted blacks, gays and women.

Fri Feb XII
Trials. Got bowled 7 or 8 times by Andrew Bunter. Alistair thinks I play back too much. Bowled Badly. Bought a sunhat. Swimming.
Trains = 34
Not a lot more that you can say about this, really. I actually remember Alistair Peak, the second team captain, saying this to me and it is a comment which I find worming its way back to me every now and then when I am playing the game.
Andrew Bunter was a good player, mind. Being bowled by him was no disgrace. Being bowled by him practically every ball was, though. It looks like he's a hotel manager now.
The sunhat, incidentally, makes a couple more appearances as the diary goes on. It looked a bit like this one, in case you are wondering.

Homeless and destitute, he sought refuge in a Victorian-era workhouse in Central England. Shortly thereafter, in August of 1900, he fell ill and was taken to that same institution's infirmary for medical attention. There, by and by, he expired – a lowly pauper with his duly assigned administrative number affixed to his beggar's clothes. Late in that same summer season, the mendicant's body was enterred "at the corporation's expense" in a municipal burial ground on the periphery of the city centre. The cycle that is life was now complete; in this case, that of my Birmingham-born great grandfather.
The unrelenting and crushing poverty omnipresent in Victorian England was such that the fate of my late great grandfather was far from unique. During a recent and otherwise pleasant visit to Birmingham's Central Library just opposite the historic Council House on Chamberlain Square, I painstakingly studied a ledger for admissions to that city's now defunct Western Road Workhouse. The register was, like so many other records from that period, a massive document which revealed that on any given day there would be found in just the infirmary alone well over 1,000 patients.
Such was one of the many paradoxes of Victorian Britain that a log detailing such profound human misery was meticulously kept in a beautiful hand, containing some 45 items of diverse data about the inmate in question. Two columns in particular troubled me. One read simply "Number Affixed to the Pauper's Clothes" while the other coldly instructed the attending clerk to write merely the word "dead" in case of death. "Alfred William Wilkins, number 258, dead." It's odd seeing a comparatively close ancestor described in such unaffected, brusque language.
Yet, in terms of longevity, my great grandfather did not do too badly for those times. For men, average life expectancy in 1900 in much of the industrialised world was about 50 years of age. While he eked out an existence to the age of 63, what can be said of an infant who lived but three days – all in the Workhouse Infirmary? According to the surprisingly well-preserved record book, his impoverished mother, Ellen Gwinnell, gave birth to twins in the sick-quarters of the legendary parish facility on June 1, 1900 only to lose one of the newborns three days later in that same dark and dismal nineteenth century stone structure. One can only wonder about the eventual fate of the baby's mother and twin.
Yet, as I continued to thumb my way through the infirmary's ledger, I could not help but remark the great number of children who passed through the dreaded gates of the Workhouse. In many cases, little ones accompanied one or both of their parents into the poorhouse, some so young that they could not possibly have understood what was happening to them. Others – orphans – wandered in on their own accord, or were brought there off the streets by Birmingham bobbies.
The Western Road Workhouse, like most others in Britain, also served as a sort of crude yet inevitable delivery venue for women in trouble. A quick glance at the shelter's records as well as parish baptismal registers details a very high number of illegitimate births which took place in these rather contentious facilities. As it happened, the 1885 ledger for that identical infirmary brought unexpectedly to light to me the fact that the nineteen year old unmarried daughter of my great grandfather had herself given birth in the same asylum in which her father died fifteen years later. The popular notion of Victorian prudishness is rapidly repudiated by such archives.
With my time at the Birmingham Library and its precious ledgers quickly ebbing, I picked up my pace. One of the last references I came upon before returning the dated books to the Local Studies' Sixth Floor counter was that of a 42 year old man whose name was reported as "unknown." What further could be said (I thought to myself) about the demise of an individual whose very earthly existence could not be filed in any official document, particularly a death certificate?
Later, when back in Canada, I subsequently discovered that the main entrance to the Western Road Workhouse was commonly known throughout the years in the Midlands of England as "The Archway of Tears." Then, struck by my finding, I could not help but wonder if my great grandfather wept as he passed through that vaulting entryway and into the infamous building on its other side. Like most, he was surely aware that the better part of those who set foot in the shabby structure never left it alive.
On February 19, 1999, a memorial plaque was placed on the now recycled edifice that was once the Birmingham Workhouse. It reads: "In Memory of All Those Folk Forced by Hardships through the Archway of Tears and into the Workhouse. In Life They Endured Misfortune, in Death They May Rest in Peace."
Indeed, may he rest in peace.

We watched Hacksaw Ridge the other night. It's the Hollywood depiction of Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector who enlisted in the Army during WW II and saved the lives of 75 men.
That's one of the storylines in the movie. Desmond was also a Seventh-day Adventist who endured a considerable amount of torment and harassment because of his faith after he enlisted in the Army.
There's one thing the US Army and organized religion have in common: conformity. Marching to the beat of a different drummer is highly discouraged in the Church. It's essentially against the law in the Army.
I'm going to give the Army an edge in achieving conformity over the Church nowadays. KP, push-ups, bullying and blanket parties–I'm sure the Army no longer condones the last two tactics of enhanced peer pressure/alternative conformity techniques–be that as it may, they are very effective tools.
The Church hasn't had that kind of control over people since the Inquisition. If the Inquisition were still in effect, I'm going to say the Church would win. Torture and possibly being burned at the stake beat the hell out of peeling potatoes and doing push-ups when it comes to getting your goddamn mind right.
I've never had my faith tested like Desmond. I'm not sure how I'd respond if it were. I'd like to think I'd stand firm in the face of opposition, trial and tribulation, but you'll never really know until it happens.
* * * *
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that religious persecution has existed as long as there has been religion. And I'm going to guess that almost every religion has had their time in the spotlight when they waged a holy war or two against others that didn't believe the same things they did.
I claim to be a Christian, so I'm probably more interested in how Christians have been persecuted. Besides, I want to keep these posts relatively short.
The first Christians were essentially Jews who thought they had seen The Messiah, however, the vast majority of the Jews didn't see it that way. In regards to 'persecuting' the first Christians, the Jews saw their actions more along the lines of disciplining their misguided brethren. You know, for the sake of conformity.
Eerie Preview of Something I'll Write About Someday: There was this guy named Saul. And he had a part in the death of at least one Christian martyr, possibly more. I'm going to have a lots more to say about Saul/ Paul of Tarsus.
In a previous post I stated the followers of Jesus tried to convince the rest of the Jews that their version of Judaism was the path all of the Jews should walk, but the majority of the Jews rejected that idea.
The Council of Jamnia was convened by the Jewish leadership late in the first century, and it may have been when the Jews decided to exclude the followers of Jesus from attendance at the local synagogue, but that was the extent of their decision. They certainly didn't call for the deaths of all the Christians.
It wasn't until the Bar Kokhba Rebellion that there was a clear delineation between the Jews and Christians in Judea. Simon bar Kokhba was the leader of the Jewish revolt that bears his name, and like a thousand other guys before him, he claimed to be the Messiah.
The Jewish leadership, and Simon, wanted all of the people to support him, and they urged the kooky followers of Jesus to get on board. After all, this Simon guy, he was the Messiah. And that's when the unstaunchable breach between Jews and Christians opened. The Christians replied that they couldn't support Simon. They already had a Messiah.
* * * *
A lots has been written and said about the Roman persecution of the early Christians, but they were only the latest in a very long list of peoples that had incurred the wrath of Rome. Ask the Etruscans. Ask the Carthaginians. Ask the Gauls, the Huns, the Celts and Picts. Or the Dacians.
There's no doubt that the Romans made many early Christians martyrs, but it's not as though the Romans were intent on wiping out the Christian faith. Nero possibly needed a scapegoat after the Great Fire in 64 AD, and blamed the Christians, and had a lots of Christians killed to death.
After Nero, persecution of Christians mostly ebbed and flowed throughout the empire until the reign of Diocletian. There are records of some misguided early Christians petitioning Roman officials to be killed to death so they could become martyrs! Martyrdom had a special status like unto a Fast Pass+ at Disney World®. Virtually all of the first saints were martyrs.
When Diocletian became emperor, he decided to restore good old fashioned Roman values and religion, and this newfangled Christian religion was one of the things that could no longer be tolerated. He issued a series of edicts against Christians in the year 303 AD.
The Great Persecution resulted, and many Christians were imprisoned, tortured or executed. When Diocletian resigned as emperor, most of the persecutions ceased, and by the year 311 AD they ceased entirely. Thirteen years later, Christianity would become the official religion of Rome.
The Romans loved many things, but they appear to have had an almost obsessive desire for order, uniformity and conformity. And because they were the biggest bully on the playground, they could kick the shit out of almost any other kid on the block until they agreed to get in line, or were exterminated.
It was this love of uniformity that led the Emperor Constantine to convene the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. The early Christians were hardly united in what they believed, even the Church hierarchy wasn't always on the same page, and for Constantine, that was unacceptable.
Constantine invited bishops from all around the known world to Nicaea to discuss the issues and establish, for the first time, an uniform doctrine of Christian belief. You can look it up if you want to know what the controversies were. The results of the Council were hardly unanimous, and a great deal of bickering and backstabbing went on for years. And because Constantine was a Roman, he probably ordered the execution of most of the dissenting members of the Council and their followers, you know, for the sake of conformity.
* * * *
Christianity would flourish. The Church would become incredibly powerful, and Christians would start persecuting non-Christians. Remember the Crusades? There were at least nine major campaigns, and it's doubtful that anything meaningful was achieved by any of the crusades, beyond the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
I'm sure if I had been alive back during the time of the crusades, I would've been one of the crusaders, eager to defend my faith and free the Holy Land from the hands of the fucking infidels. And I would have devoutly slaughtered anyone that stood in my way, or I would have willingly got dead in the process.
The only reason I mention this is I was once in the Army, and during that time my country was fighting a war in the far away country of Vietnam. I had no moral objections to killing back then, and if I had been sent there, I would've done my best to kill the Vietcong, if that's what the Army had wanted me to do. Even if we were foreign invaders that really didn't have any business being in Vietnam.
There's nothing on earth that would move me to take part in a war or a crusade if one were called for today. I have yet to see any examples of violence accomplishing anything but more violence.
I'm living in one of the most devoutly Christian countries on the planet. There's a very slim chance that I'll experience any ill will because of my religious beliefs. It's beyond doubtful that my faith will ever be put to any sort of test.
And don't get me wrong. I'm okay with that. I'm not especially eager to be taunted and teased. After all, I was a psych nurse for thirty years…

Do You Have Damaging Habits?
We should check for damaging "vines" in our lives. Are there any habits that have begun to choke off some of the God-honoring things we once did? Are questionable practices becoming more frequent? Are we beginning to feel helpless in overcoming actions that we know are wrong? If so, we need to ask for the Lord's help and decide right now to uproot them. Let's not give in to those habits that perhaps may kill. The absolute best way to break a bad habit is to drop it.

U.S. Fighter Jets and Ships Deployed in the Philippines Against China
PHL to ask US to deploy fighter jets, ships for Spratlys
-[T]he US is also planning to station Marines in Australia and Singapore amid increasing tensions in the disputed Spratly Islands.
The Philippines will ask for the assistance of the United States to deploy a squadron of fighter jets and two more military ships amid increasing tensions with China in the disputed islands in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea).
Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said he will meet with US Secretary of States Hillary Clinton and high officials of Pentagon in his visit to Washington, D.C., early next year to discuss the need to increase the Philippines's military presence in the area.
The request for US military assistance was first discussed during the visit of Clinton in the Philippines in November.
"We're trying to get assistance from several countries [to strengthen military capability] and the US has expressed willingness to assist us as we work on a minimum, credible defense posture [in the disputed islands in West Philippine Sea]," said del Rosario in a press luncheon briefing on Wednesday at a hotel in Pasay City.
He said the Philippines will request two more Hamilton class cutters with the first one delivered mid this year and a squadron or 12 units of fighter jets to be deployed on the disputed islands that are believed to be rich in natural gas and marine resources.
Moves to strengthen the country's military capability came amid Chinese deployment of more navy ships in the disputed Spratly Islands in the South China Sea. "We need to stand up and defend our territorial claims on what we think is ours," said del Rosario.
He also believes that the US foreign policy is to re-engage Asia to a greater extent as it believes that the region has taken the role as key driver of economic growth.
He said the US is also planning to station Marines in Australia and Singapore amid increasing tensions in the disputed Spratly Islands.
Four Asean members — Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei and Malaysia — are claimants to parts of Spratly Islands, along with Taipei. China is claiming the entire Spratlys.
Other Asean members include Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia, Singapore, Burma/Myanmar and Thailand.

Our Organization
We are a proud member of the IOGKF-USA. The IOGKF-USA is a part of the International Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate-Do Federation, the foremost organization in promoting real Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate-Do.
De Wet Sensei believes in quality over quantity. While there may be larger organizations around, the IOGKF is known for its emphasis on tradition, quality and high expectations. This is why de Wet Sensei has been part of the organization for the past 40 years. The IOGKF does have a number of member countries throughout the world, and students are made to feel welcome if they can visit affiliated Dojo. Check http://www.iogkf.com for more details. (Please note that members who are visiting other Dojo require a letter from their Sensei. This is correct etiquette, which is a foundation stone of learning Karate-do.)
Training in Goju Ryu
Okinawa Goju Ryu is a system unique in both content and approach. Because of this, training is well structured, with an individual syllabus for each level.Karate is much like an inverted pyramid, with each block building on the next, and because of the need for a strong foundation, significant time is spent on conditioning and basic training.Outside of the Junbi Undo (warm ups), Hojo Undo (supplementary exercises) and Kihon (basic training), we have the heart of Goju Ryu, the Kata (Form).My view is best explained by using a painting analogy, the first three are like learning what a brush is, how to hold a brush, and how to move the brush. The Kata are the great works of the Masters, and we must try to copy them carefully and exactly, until we are infused with the message of the art. Only then will we be able to express them, and attempt to make the art ours. Kumite
Okinawa Goju Ryu has many forms of Kumite (Loosely translated as sparring, but this can be misleading). From Kihon work with a partner where the exercises is limited to individual techniques (eg: Tanren or conditioning), to Yakosuko Kumite (promised sparring), to San Dan Gi (three level sparring), to Kakie Kumite (push hands sparring) to Bunkai Kumite (application sparring) to Iri Kumi Go and Ju (Okinawan free fighting). Facilities and equipment We have some excellent facilities and equipment in our private Dojo. What we will have in our public location remains to be seen.The majority of the floor space is matted for the practice of throws and takedowns, and we have all the necessary equipment available for those who wish to pursue the full-contact Karate option.We have several hanging bags, mirrors, pads, mitts, skipping ropes, Chi Ishi, Nigiri Game, Makiwara, Tetsu Sashi and a Kongoken etc. at the private Dojo, and on special occasions we bring some of the Hojo Undo equipment from the private Dojo for members to use at seminars, or special outdoors training.
Important note: Partner work
Okinawa Goju Ryu is full of partner work. Note the use of the word partner.
Goju Ryu is not antagonistic, and we are careful to treat each other with respect. Partners are necessary for us to progress, and abusing Dojo members is not tolerated.
As Higaonna Sensei says, "Challenge Yourself!"

Temat postu: NEW YORK (AP) — Cornerback Chris Harris Jr.
broke his lower right leg in the first quarter of the Broncos' 24-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday.It's unclear how long he'll be sidelined with a cracked bone in his lower leg. He'll have more tests in Denver on Monday.Harris said it's possible he could be back by the end of December."If we make the playoffs
, I know I'll be ready for that," Harris said.He said no surgery is anticipated at the moment."It really wasn't that painful," Harris said. "I didn't have the same power. I just knew I had to get checked out. When I got checked out, something was there."Defensive end Derek Wolfe suffered a rib injury in the second quarter.Standout Bengals receiver A.J. Green returned after missing three games with an injured toe on his right foot, hoping to give the Bengals' offense a lift, but he lasted only one quarter.Green reinjured the foot while running a route and came off the field for perhaps the last time this season, slamming his helmet on the ground before leaving on a cart."He was obviously battling just to play," Bengals receiver Alex Erickson said. "I'm sure it's devastating to him and to the team."Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict suffered a concussion in the second half.Panthers tight end Greg Olsen limped off after reinjuring his right foot in the second quarter against Tampa Bay."I ruptured my plantar fascia. The plantar fascia on the bottom of my foot popped. It's just something we've dealt with since I've come back," said Olsen, who limped off the field early in the second quarter."Since I've come back, I've dealt with a variety of pain and whatever in my foot. … Today that plantar just finally had enough," Olsen added. "It kind of just ruptured on me. … That first play of the second quarter, I just came out of my stance and I just knew right away what happened. It popped pretty good on me."It's Olsen's third injury to the same foot. He missed nine games last season with a broken foot and had surgery but returned to play.Then he broke it again this year, did not have surgery and came back quickly. Now, it appears his season is over."It's just been obviously a very frustrating two seasons now," Olsen said.Buccaneers safety Justin Evans (toe) left in second quarter and did not return and safety Isaiah Johnson was evaluated during the second half for a concussion and did not return.Cardinals left guard Mike Iupati was carted off the field in the third quarter with a knee injury against Green Bay.Packers right guard Byron Bell and right tackle Bryan Bulaga each left in the second quarter with knee injuries.Cleveland cornerback Denzel Ward left in the first half against Houston with a concussion. Browns defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi injured his biceps in the second quarter and didn't return.Texans cornerback Johnathan Joseph didn't return after injuring his neck in the second quarter. Linebacker Brennan Scarlett injured his leg and didn't return. And offensive tackle Kendall Lamm left in the second half with a concussion.Rams running back Malcolm Brown left the game at Detroit with a shoulder injury. Lions linebacker Devon Kennard went out with a hip injury.Ravens offensive lineman Alex Lewis left the win at Atlanta with a shoulder injury. Falcons tight end Logan Paulsen went out in the second quarter with a knee injury.Colts center Evan Boehm (neck) left in the fourth quarter, forcing third-team center Josh Andrews into the game. The Colts were already without starter Ryan Kelly. Safety Mike Mitchell (calf) and linebacker Skai Moore (knee) also left their loss to the Jaguars.Bills center Russell Bodine left in the first quarter with a left leg injury and did not return against Miami. And Dolphins reserve cornerback Cornell Armstrong departed with a knee injury.Vikings cornerback Trae Waynes was evaluated for a concussion in the second quarter and ruled out for the rest of the game at New England. Patriots safety Patrick Chung was helped off the field in the fourth quarter.Seattle may have suffered a significant loss when guard D.J. Fluker had to be helped to the sideline early in the fourth quarter against the 49ers with a hamstring injury.Fluker has been a key part of Seattle's run-game resurgence and appeared very angry on the field about the injury. He did not return and left the field on a cart. One of the more perplexing features of the NFL is the salary cap. On the one hand, it seems straight forward. On the other hand
Jabaal Sheard Jersey
, it can get dicey and confusing. All general managers have a salary cap that all teams must fit under. Simple, right?It gets more complicated in a hurry. After all, teams with very little cap space frequently sign marquee players to high dollar contracts. This is accomplished through bonuses, incentive-laden contract clauses, and back-loading a deal where the bulk of the contract's value is paid in years the team expects to have more cap space.This salary cap planning and "manipulation" is what NFL salary capologists like Mike Bluem spend their time considering every day. How can we plan for the future in a way that allows Chris Ballard and Jim Irsay to field a team with the most talent in the NFL for the longest period of time? We can't simply spend all the way up to the salary cap every year, leaving no space available, and hope to keep the nucleus together. Major contracts for our own players will consistently require work as the old ones expire and new deals need to be made.Keeping in mind the needs for our own players, how much salary cap space do we have to work with to sign free agents and bring in outside talent? How do we work all of this together to make sure we stay above the NFL's mandated 89 percent rule?This week, we'll take a look at these questions and do our best to shed light on the NFL salary cap, 89 percent rule, and what fans might be able to expect Chris Ballard and Mike Bluem to do in 2019 and beyond.Evaluating the Colts Top Positional NeedsIt is hard to believe how far the Colts have come at positions of need from the end of the 2017 season. Heading into the 2018 NFL Draft, we included pass rush, off-ball linebackers, offensive line, and running backs at the top of the list. While the need for pass rush remains, there is very little need to commit significant resources to adding off-ball linebackers, offensive line, or running backs.At this point
Pierre Desir Color Rush Jersey
, the Colts defense desperately needs to find help rushing the passer. The unit did a great job stopping the run but the defensive line-secondary symbiosis was off for much of the season and made life particularly difficult against strong offenses and good quarterbacks. As the symbiosis suggests, more help in the secondary, especially in terms of depth is important and the work to add to the interior of the defensive line will never end. In particular, the safety position could go through considerable turnover if Chris Ballard chooses not to retain his own free agents. On offense, Andrew Luck and T.Y. Hilton would benefit considerably by adding a couple of legitimate threats at wide receiver through the draft or free agency. Our list: Pass Rush, Wide Receiver, Secondary, Defensive Line — Depth?SecondaryThere are an intriguing number of defensive backs about to hit free agency who could provide a spark for the Colts defense. The biggest obstacle might be Ballard's confidence in some of his own in-house free agents and the continued development of his young players. Consider that Ballard has spoken highly of Clayton Geathers, Matthias Farley oozes the type of player and locker room presence Ballard covets, and former first round pick Malik Hooker is firmly entrenched as the starting free safety. A player like Landon Collins could certainly be a huge boost for the secondary but I doubt that Collins will reach free agency, as the Giants have already indicated their intention to use the franchise tag if a deal cannot be reached before the deadline.Also, consider that cornerbacks Kenny Moore and Quincy Wilson earned praise from Ballard and the coaching staff in 2018. Free agent Pierre Desir is another player who seems to offer the kind of "homegrown" background that Ballard wants to reward. Desir is already familiar with Matt Eberflus' scheme and could be retained for less money than some of the marquee names to hit free agency.With that said, the Colts have the money to go after any player they covet.S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix — While Clinton-Dix could certainly be a priority free agent for the Redskins, the team doesn't have a ton of cap space and has other free agents who may be a high priority. How they plan to approach their quarterback situation with Alex Smith recovering from a gruesome leg injury is a complete unknown and it could alter their approach to the coming off-season.The upside of adding a player like Clinton-Dix is having a second deep safety in certain packages. A pairing with Hooker would create perhaps the most impressive coverage safety combination in the NFL. Spotrac projects his future contract will average $9.9 million with a total contract value of $49,500,476 over five years.CB Ronald Darby — The Philadelphia Eagles have worked salary cap magic in the past and they may be able to do so again but they will have to make some difficult decisions to get there. Do they risk placing a franchise tag on Darby after he suffered a season-ending knee injury? How do they approach the rest of their very heavy unrestricted free agent class to keep the team together?At some point, sacrifices will be made and it is possible that Ronald Darby makes his way to the free agent market solely due to cap restrictions. If he does, he could be a major upgrade for the Colts secondary. Placing him on the outside with Pierre Desir or Quincy Wilson would give Colts pass rushers additional time to get after the quarterback. Even with the injury
, Spotrac projects Darby's contract to cost an average of $13.4 million per season and to total just over $80 million for six seasons.CB Bashaud Breeland — The Colts brought in Breeland during his most recent stint in free agency. He ended up leaving without a contract and played for the Green Bay Packers this season. They could bring him back or allow him to get back to free agency. If he does get back to free agency, the Colts are in a far superior position than they were previously. He was one of the top free agent corners heading into the 2018 season but had to recover from injury.Spotrac projects that Breeland will cost an average of $6.9 million per year with a total contract value of just shy of $36 million over 5 years. It will be interesting to see if he can convince teams that he is fully recovered from his previous non-football injury that caused him to fail physical in his last team visits. Defensive LineUnfortunately, there are not a ton of interior defensive line prospects that are currently set to become unrestricted free agents. Those with the biggest names and who have proven the most are unlikely to make it to free agency. If a marquee free agent like Grady Jarrett did, it is hard to imagine that Chris Ballard would break the bank for him.DT Darius Philon — At only 25 years old, Philon still has legitimate upside potential. If a move to Matt Eberflus' system can work some magic, he can continue his upward trajectory. Each season, Philon has managed to take a step forward in at least one area of his development. 2018 saw him take just under 60% of the Chargers' defensive snaps, put up his highest single season tackle total, tie his single season record for one forced fumble, and come .5 sack shy of matching his mark in 2017 of 4.5 sacks.There is certainly a chance that the Chargers choose to bring him back to the fold but it is also fair to think that the team could focus significant resources at one major free agent to try to push them deeper into the playoffs while Philip Rivers is still playing. Like the next free agent prospect, Philon could likely be signed to a three-year deal worth $12 million with an average cap hit of around $4 million.DT Rodney Gunter — Gunter is 27 years old and will hit free agency in March as his rookie contract is coming to an end. It is unlikely that he will top anyone's free agent want list and rather likely that only Cardinals fans are familiar enough with him to have a strong opinion about what he is worth or what he can bring to a team. That said, at 6'5", 305 lbs. Gunter tallied 4.5 sacks, 44 tackles, and 2 forced fumbles in only 10 starts in 2018. Adding Gunter would be similar to signing Denico Autry, in that neither were marquee players on their respective defenses but both had a knack for making the most out of their opportunities. He played on just under 60% of Arizona's snaps last year and could likely be signed to a three-year contract worth about $12 million. Knowing Ballard, if he signed this contract the guaranteed money would be front loaded with an average cap hit of around $4 million.

Hola #LittleFinders! Today I am talking about on the go stories featuring Creminelli Fine Meats™ As you guys might know, having great photos is a huge part of a successful blog, but the process can be not "so glamorous". We are talking about carrying tons of clothes, changing in your car, finding great locations and sneaking time to eat something in between a full day. In the past couple of years,' I've learned a few tricks that help me have a much more successful shooting day and I am ready to share them with you. Ready, Set, Go!
- Prepare your outfits in advanced: I always plan everything from the clothing to the accessories, shoes, and makeup the night before. I take photos on my phone of what goes with every outfit, and I write down some ideas for the types of photos I want to take. I keep all the clothes in hangers and put all accessorizes in a big tote bag. I also pack a lunch bag with some of my favorite snacks like a bottle of water, crackers and Creminelli trays. (My favorite is Felino- manchego) .This already makes me prepared and organized. Plus it keeps my boyfriends, (AKA photographer) happy as well.
2. Plan your locations: You do not have to go out of the country to find great locations. Look around your town for some places that fit your style. When I am driving to work, I always pay attention to places that will work for taking photos for my blog. From murals, pretty parks, neighborhoods and even back alleys. (Make sure you are always accompanied by someone and in a safe area)
3. Be Prepared for a long day: Shooting two to three looks can take half a day or more. Make sure you are mentally prepared and stay positive. When you live in Florida, the sun can take the best of you and you have to make sure you eat and stay hydrated. Did you know in Europe is common to have a mid-afternoon snack of Italian meat & cheeses. I've adopted this tradition when I take my blog photos. It makes the day more relaxing and fuels me up. You might not always be around an area where you can purchase a snack, which leads me to my next point.
4. Pack some snacks: This is one of the most important things for a successful shoot. I always pack a little backpack with some ice packs and fill it up with snacks. Lately, Mauricio and I have been obsessed with Creminelli. We get it at Starbucks, in the refrigerated area, right before you order.
We paired them up with bread or crackers to keep us full. It's easy on the go snack that fulfills a desire for protein, helping fuel your body. I get so inspired looking at Creminelli's Instagram page and see what adventures people are up to. There a quite few different ones to try, and I have a feeling we will be tasting them all.
5. Be confident and enjoy the process: Taking photos can be stressful, however, it's all about having a good time! Whatever you're on the go adventure, don't get caught up in the stress of it and rather have some fun!
Until Next Time Littlefinders

'Worst ever': Water delivery delays blow out to 3 months
THE region's water cartage wait times are tipped to become even more pressured over coming months as delivery delays blow out to three months.
With dire weather predicted into the new year and water demand intensifying, local carter Tony Axisa says he's juggling more than 200 phone calls a day for orders, meaning his customers ordering now will have to wait until the third week of February for a water delivery.
At the start of November, wait times for tank water deliveries doubled to four weeks with some companies, and the Alstonville Blu-Water owner predicted it will only get worse.
With many reports of water carters being too run off their feet to answer or return calls, Mr Axisa confirmed trying to access the necessity of water was "the worst it's ever been on the Northern Rivers."
"The level of demand is extreme, I've been doing this for nearly 10 years and the last three years we've had serious droughts," he said.
"We've got three ridged trucks that hold 13,000 L and they are all doing double shifts - so they are working 24 hours a day as we speak and probably doing about 50 loads a day."
He said he was booked out until the third week in February, although they would prioritise emergency calls.
"We've got people who have lived here for 30 years and have never brought water, buying water. Most people are calling either crying or just very upset."
He said the company was prioritising emergency calls which were described as "life threatening, or animals were on their last legs, elderly customers, or people who have been let down by other companies for six weeks which was becoming a normal occurrence".
"I've got customers that haven't had water for ten weeks because they'd booked with other carriers and when their date came around and they call to check their delivery the companies are saying the trucks broken down or they won't return calls," he said.
He urged customers to be patient and water conscious where they could be.
"Customers need to be patient, we are trying to get through as many as we can - but it's really difficult. That's why we are doing the 24-hour thing... we have three drivers on each truck now trying to get rid of this backlog.
Richmond Sand and Gravel in Lismore confirmed their next booking was from January 7. Water Please owner Jade Le Compte said his wait time was now seven weeks.

Book III Chapter XII
Crossing the Sacramento on an old-fashioned ferry a short distance above Rio Vista, Saxon and Billy entered the river country. From the top of the levee she got her revelation. Beneath, lower than the river, stretched broad, flat land, far as the eye could see. Roads ran in every direction, and she saw countless farmhouses of which she had never dreamed when sailing on the lonely river a few feet the other side of the willowy fringe.
Three weeks they spent among the rich farm islands, which heaped up levees and pumped day and night to keep afloat. It was a monotonous land, with an unvarying richness of soil and with only one landmark――Mt. Diablo, ever to be seen, sleeping in the midday azure, limping its crinkled mass against the sunset sky, or forming like a dream out of the silver dawn. Sometimes on foot, often by launch, they cries-crossed and threaded the river region as far as the peat lands of the Middle River, down the San Joaquin to Antioch, and up Georgiana Slough to Walnut Grove on the Sacramento. And it proved a foreign land. The workers of the soil teemed by thousands, yet Saxon and Billy knew what it was to go a whole day without finding any one who spoke English. They encountered ――sometimes in whole villages――Chinese, Japanese, Italians, Portuguese, Swiss, Hindus, Koreans, Norwegians, Danes, French, Armenians, Slavs, almost every nationality save American. One American they found on the lower reaches of Georgiana who eked an illicit existence by fishing with traps. Another American, who spouted blood and destruction on all political subjects, was an itinerant bee-farmer. At Walnut Grove, bustling with life, the few Americane consisted of the storekeeper, the saloonkeeper, the butcher, the keeper of the drawbridge, and the ferryman. Yet two thriving towns were in Walnut Grove, one Chinese, one Japanese. Most of the land was owned by Americans, who lived away from it and were continually selling it to the foreigners.
A riot, or a merry-making――they could not tell which ――was taking place in the Japanese town, as Saxon and Billy steamed out on the Apache, bound for Sacramento.
"We're settin' on the stoop," Billy railed. "Pretty soon they'll crowd us off of that."
"There won't be any stoop in the valley of the moon," Saxon cheered him.
But he was inconsolable, remarking bitterly:
"An' they ain't one of them damn foreigners that can handle four horses like me.
"But they can everlastingly farm," he added.
And Saxon, looking at his moody face, was suddenly reminded of a lithograph she had seen in her childhood It was of a Plains Indian, in paint and feathers, astride his horse and gazing with wondering eye at a railroad train rushing along a fresh-made track. The Indian had passed, she remembered, before the tide of new life that brought the railroad. And were Billy and his kind doomed to pass, she pondered, before this new tide of life, amazingly industrious, that was flooding in from Asia and Europe?
At Sacramento they stopped two weeks, where Billy drove team and earned the money to put them along on their travels. Also, life in Oakland and Carmel, close to the salt edge of the coast, had spoiled them for the interior. Too warm, was their verdict of Sacramento and they followed the railroad west, through a region of swamp-land, to Davisville. Here they were lured aside and to the north to pretty Woodland, where Billy drove team for a fruit farm, and where Saxon wrung from him a reluctant consent for her to work a few days in the fruit harvest. She made an important and mystifying secret of what she intended doing with her earnings, and Billy teased her about it until the matter passed from his mind. Nor did she tell him of a money order inclosed with a certain blue slip of paper in a letter to Bud Strothers.
They began to suffer from the heat. Billy declared they had strayed out of the blanket climate.
"There are no redwoods here," Saxon said. "We must go west toward the coast. It is there we'll find the valley of the moon."
From Woodland they swung west and south along the county roads to the fruit paradise of Vacaville. Here Billy picked fruit, then drove team; and here Saxon received a letter and a tiny express package from Bud Strothers. When Billy came into camp from the day's work, she bade him stand still and shut his eyes. For a few seconds she fumbled and did something to the breast of his cotton work-shirt. Once, he felt a slight prick, as of a pin point, and grunted, while she laughed and bullied him to continue keeping his eyes shut.
"Close your eyes and give me a kiss," she sang, "and then I'll show you what iss."
She kissed him and when he looked down he saw, pinned to his shirt, the gold medals he had pawned the day they had gone to the moving picture show and received their inspiration to return to the land.
"You darned kid!" he exclaimed, as he caught her to him. "So that's what you blew your fruit money in on? An' I never guessed!――Come here to you."
And thereupon she suffered the pleasant mastery of his brawn, and was hugged and wrestled with until the coffee pot boiled over and she darted from him to the rescue.
"I kinda always been a mite proud of 'em," he confessed, as he rolled his after-supper cigarette. "They take me back to my kid days when I amateured it to beat the band. I was some kid in them days, believe muh.――But say, d'ye know, they'd clean slipped my recollection. Oakland's a thousan' years away from you an' me, an' ten thousan' miles."
"Then this will bring you back to it," Saxon said, opening Bud's letter and reading it aloud.
Bud had taken it for granted that Billy knew the wind-up of the strike; so he devoted himself to the details as to which men had got back their jobs, and which had been blacklisted. To his own amazement he had been taken back, and was now driving Billy's horses. Still more amazing was the further information he had to impart. The old foreman of the West Oakland stables had died, and since then two other foremen had done nothing but make messes of everything. The point of all which was that the Boss had spoken that day to Bud, regretting the disappearance of Billy.
"Don't make no mistake," Bud wrote. "The Boss is onto all your curves. I bet he knows every scab you slugged. Just the same he says to me――Strothers, if you ain't at liberty to give me his address, just write yourself and tell him for me to come a running. I'll give him a hundred and twenty-five a month to take hold the stables."
Saxon waited with well-concealed anxiety when the letter was finished. Billy, stretched out, leaning on one elbow, blew a meditative ring of smoke. His cheap workshirt, incongruously brilliant with the gold of the medals that flashed in the firelight, was open in front, showing the smooth skin and splendid swell of chest. He glanced around――at the blankets bowered in a green screen and waiting, at the campfire and the blackened, battered coffee pot, at the well-worn hatchet, half buried in a tree trunk, and lastly at Saxon. His eyes embraced her; then into them came a slow expression of inquiry. But she offered no help.
"Well," he uttered finally, "all you gotta do is write Bud Strothers, an' tell 'm not on the Boss's ugly tintype. ――An' while you're about it, I'll send 'm the money to get my watch out. You work out the interest. The overcoat can stay there an' rot."
But they did not prosper in the interior heat. They lost weight. The resilience went out of their minds and bodies. As Billy expressed it, their silk was frazzled. So they shouldered their packs and headed west across the wild mountains. In the Berryessa Valley, the shimmering heat waves made their eyes ache, and their heads; so that they traveled on in the early morning and late afternoon. Still west they headed, over more mountains, to beautiful Napa Valley. The next valley beyond was Sonoma, where Hastings had invited them to his ranch. And here they would have gone, had not Billy chanced upon a newspaper item which told of the writer's departure to cover some revolution that was breaking out somewhere in Mexico.
"We'll see 'm later on," Billy said, as they turned northwest, through the vineyards and orchards of Napa Valley. "We're like that millionaire Bert used to sing about, except it's time that we've got to burn. Any direction is as good as any other, only west is best."
Three times in the Napa Valley Billy refused work. Past St. Helena, Saxon hailed with joy the unmistakable redwoods they could see growing up the small canyons that penetrated the western wall of the valley. At Calistoga, at the end of the railroad, they saw the six-horse stages leaving for Middletown and Lower Lake. They debated their route. That way led to Lake County and not toward the coast, so Saxon and Billy swung west through the mountains to the valley of the Russian River, coming out at Healdsburg. They lingered in the hop-fields on the rich bottoms, where Billy scorned to pick hops alongside of Indians, Japanese, and Chinese.
"I couldn't work alongside of 'em an hour before I'd be knockin' their blocks off," he explained. "Besides, this Russian River's some nifty. Let's pitch camp and go swimmin'. "
So they idled their way north up the broad, fertile valley, so happy that they forgot that work was ever necessary, while the valley of the moon was a golden dream, remote, but sure, some day of realization. At Cloverdale, Billy fell into luck. A combination of sickness and mischance found the stage stables short a driver. Each day the train disgorged passengers for the Geysers, and Billy, as if accustomed to it all his life, took the reins of six horses and drove a full load over the mountains in stage time. The second trip he had Saxon beside him on the high boxseat. By the end of two weeks the regular driver was back. Billy declined a stable-job, took his wages, and continued north.
Saxon had adopted a fox terrier puppy and named him Possum, after the dog Mrs. Hastings had told them about. So young was he that he quickly became footsore, and she carried him until Billy perched him on top of his pack and grumbled that Possum was chewing his back hair to a frazzle.
They passed through the painted vineyards of Asti at the end of the grape-picking, and entered Ukiah drenched to the skin by the first winter rain.
"Say," Billy said, "you remember the way the Roamer just skated along. Well, this summer's done the same thing――gone by on wheels. An' now it's up to us to find some place to winter. This Ukiah looks like a pretty good burg. We'll get a room to-night an' dry out. An' to-morrow I'll hustle around to the stables, an' if I locate anything we can rent a shack an' have all winter to think about where we'll go next year."

In 2010, Pinyon-Publishing released Adoption, an intriguing novel by Dr. Victoria Sullivan that appealed to many fans of science fiction. Those fans have been asking for a sequel to this work of speculative science, and this week, Border Press announced the publication of Rogue Genes, the awaited sequel.
Adoption explored the idea of a superhuman race resulting from an in vitro fertilization at a clinic in Louisiana and featured six-year old Mary, a giant adopted by Val, a professor of biology who becomes a detective and protector of the brilliant and beautiful child. Val's research on plant genetics provides insights into the super race that is soon shunned by the government and a public that wants to destroy the very different "species" of humans.
In Rogue Genes, Sullivan continues the story of the superhumans, known as polyploids, who have been banished to Polysomia, a village in southwest Louisiana. Middle-East terrorists who want to use the boys as warriors in their country have captured six five-year old polyploid boys. At five, the boys resemble conventional humans, known as diploids, but they will soon become nine-foot giants. Because of an influenza infection of their diploid parents, the boys carry genes for healing wounds and regenerating limbs, and for synthesizing Vitamin C to keep them healthy.
Serious questions arise. How did kidnappers enter the village of Polysomia the night of the kidnapping? Will government agencies help to find the boys? And who killed a diploid girl and buried her along with a large sum of money in the woods near the Polysomia guardhouse? Was the killer a polyploid and the money a pay-off from the kidnappers? How does a full grown polyploid named Simon, who has violent tendencies, figure in the conflict?
Rogue Genes is a vivid page-turner that continues the exciting action of superhumans who are maligned by the world into which they are born, posing ideas about prejudice, scientific inquiry, and the appropriate treatment of people who cause citizens to become uncomfortable with human differences ... citizens who wish to eliminate creatures who don't fit into physical and social pigeonholes. Sullivan achieves an action-paced work of speculative fiction and presents underlying spiritual questions about man's inhumanity toward differing fellow humans.
Sullivan is an author and botanist. She studied biology at the University of Miami and has a Ph.D. in biology from Florida State University. She has published poetry, flash fiction, numerous botanical papers, and non-fiction articles. She held a faculty position in the Department of Biology, University of Louisiana at Lafayette for 20 years. She is a resident of Sewanee, Tennessee and winters in New Iberia, Louisiana.
Candace Birch, aka "Quala," rendered the beautiful painting entitled "DNA" on the cover of Rogue Genes.
Rogue Genes is now available on Kindle ($2.99) and in print ($17.50) online at Amazon. Include shipping and handling of $4.50 to order from Border Press, PO Box 3124, Sewanee TN 37375.

Hey folks! Sorry about the long wait since the last post… I've been too busy to do full-on figure reviews. But I've been active on Instagram working on my 365 project! Anyway, this weekend things finally started to wind down so I thought I'd work on some kind of project with my figures.
Figure Review: Kongou by Phat Company
Let me tell you something: Kongou is the greatest. Her boisterous personality, random use of English, and ability to destroy the shit out of anything that stands in her way makes her, objectively, the greatest. However in the realm of anime figures, none of them really grabbed me. I missed out on the Nendoroid, and the other options ranged from slightly-too-rapey to straight up creepy. Eventually Phat Company came along with a Kongou figure that looked juuuust right, and we are all better off for it.
Figure Review: Dark Angel Olivia by Kotobukiya
Since I've reviewed Forte, I thought I'd do a photo shoot for Kotobukiya's Dark Angel Olivia as well. Both figures can best be described with the word "grand." While Forte sports a pair of irresponsibly pointy lances, Olivia has twin swords and angel wings. The design is eye-catching enough in 2D, but Kotobukiya turned it into a figure truly worth owning.
Figure Review: Dark Dragoon Forte by Kotobukiya
I've never played Rage of Bahamut but I'll be damned if there aren't some fine character designs in that game. Kotobukiya has produced some excellent figures for the property, including the Dark Angel Olivia that originally turned me on to this game. I've also reviewed Max Factory's Cerberus which is perhaps less awe-inspiring than just cute/sexy. In early July I received Kotobukiya's Dark Dragoon Forte, which kind of looks like a sister piece to Olivia.
Snapshots: The Demon Lord's Valkyrie
Odin Sphere hit the Playstation 2 way back in 2007. This makes me feel REALLY old. At the end of 2008, Alter released this Gwendolyn figure for the first time. This was way before I started collecting, but from what I gather this figure was quite ahead of its time in terms of the sculpt and quality. It became a grail figure for many, to such an extent that she was re-released in 2010 (before re-releases became a somewhat common practice). I missed out on that one too, but then the powers that be ordained that Odin Sphere would get a remake for the new console generation.
Snapshots: Alter's Odin Sphere lineup
It took a while but Alter's revisiting their Odin Sphere line. They've re-released Mercedes and Gwendolyn, but the most exciting thing is no doubt the brand new Velvet and Cornelius set.
Figure Review: Rise Kujikawa by Phat Company
If I have a video game obsession it would be Persona 4. Something about that game and its characters resonated with me in a way that I had never felt before. Obviously I'm not the only one, as Persona 4 became a huge hit… and then the bizarre spin-offs started coming. I guess it's fitting though because the world of Persona is bizarre. But what I wouldn't have dreamed of is that there would be a dancing rhythm game using the characters and settings of Persona 4. That brings us to Persona 4: Dancing All Night and Phat Company's Rise Kujikawa.
Snapshot: Looking back with Velvet
This week's Figure Friday Challenge involved the theme of looking backward. I do have a few figures with an over the shoulder glance, eventually settling on Yamato's Velvet for the challenge.
Figure Review: Misty Swimsuit ver. by Max Factory
It's not quite summer officially but it's sure starting to feel like it around here. So I figured it's a good time to take a look at Max Factory's 1/7 Mistral Nereis (Misty), one of the ladies designed by Tony Taka for Shining Hearts. There are a ton of Shining series figures and I'm usually not very interested in them. However Max Factory has a way of convincing me…
figma PLUS school route set
Oh look I'm actually following through on something I said I'd do for once. As you might know there are two figma PLUS sets. Last time we had a look at the classroom set, now here's the school route set.
Figure Review: Melty by Alter
Melty is a character from Shining Hearts, a game from a franchise that doesn't get much exposure in the US. Tony Taka has been doing the character designs for the series, and while they're all solid, I haven't been very high on the figures they've engendered. I guess if anyone was going to change that, it would be Alter.

As most of you probably know, whether you live in the United States or not, gay marriage is currently a hotly divisive topic among Americans. Underlying that, of course, is the whole issue of homosexuality. For most of the United States' history homosexuality was illegal.
Today we're seeing more and more gay folks, including politicians and other public and private figures, "coming out of the closet" and admitting their sexual preferences.
In my personal opinion, this is a good thing. I have gay friends and family, and I love them as much as my "straight" family and friends.… Read more

Kia is turning up the temperature this January with a pair of hot new special editions to rid buyers of the new year blues. Offering great value for money with a high level of standard specification, the Stonic 'Mixx' and Picanto 'Wave' models are available to order now from our Wessex Garages Kia dealerships.
Mark Hayward, General Manager at Wessex Kia in Bristol says "These new Stonic and Picanto special edition launches are really fresh and exciting for 2019 – what better way to start the new year than with a new car? Pop down to our dealership on Feeder Road or any of our other sites across the group to test out these new Kia models."
Stonic 'Mixx'
Kia's popular Stonic range has been widened with a bright new highly-specified special edition model – the Stonic 'Mixx' which is available now at Wessex Garages. Powered by a 1.0-litre T-GDi engine, developing 118bhp at 6,000rpm and 171Nm of torque between 1,500 and 4,000rpm, the Stonic 'Mixx' is finished in a particularly eye-catching combination of Clear White paintwork with an orange roof. Inside, unique black cloth and grey faux leather upholstery with orange accents is combined with a lower centre console and display screen surround finished in orange trim.
Standard equipment on the Stonic 'Mixx' includes 17-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, front and rear electric windows, privacy glass for the rear windows and tailgate, a reversing camera system with dynamic guidelines, a D-cut perforated leather steering wheel, satin chrome interior door handles and a six-speaker audio system with 7.0-inch touchscreen display with DAB radio, RDS, MP3 compatibility and Apple CarPlayTM and Android AutoTM. Bi-function projection headlights with static bending and LED daytime running lights deliver a stylish look, along with LED rear combination lights.
The combined fuel economy figure for both the manual and DCT automatic is 46.3mpg (WLTP), while emitting 130 g/km of CO2 for the manual version and 120g/km with the DCT automatic transmission (NEDC 2.0). Acceleration to 60mph is achieved in 9.9 seconds for the manual and 10.2 seconds for the DCT automatic, with a top speed of 114 and 115mph, respectively.
The Stonic 'Mixx' costs £18,200 when mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, with the seven-speed dual-clutch auto transmission priced at £19,200.
Picanto 'Wave'
Inspired by sunny beaches and blue skies, a hot new Picanto special edition is now also on sale at Wessex Garages called the Picanto 'Wave'. Powered by a 1.0-litre petrol engine, developing 66bhp at 5,500rpm and 96Nm torque at 3,500rpm, the Picanto 'Wave' is finished in Celestial Blue premium paintwork with blue Denim-style cloth and faux leather upholstery.
Standard equipment includes 15-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, front and rear electric windows, privacy glass for the rear windows and tailgate, a reversing camera system with dynamic guidelines, a six-speaker audio system with 7.0-inch touchscreen display with RDS and DAB radio, Apple CarPlayTM and Android AutoTM with voice control and a wireless mobile phone charger. In addition, there are white accents to the lower centre console trim, air vents and door armrest, together with satin chrome interior door handles and a centre console that features a storage box and sliding armrest.
Its combined fuel economy is 49.6mpg (WLTP) with CO2 emissions of 115g/km (NEDC 2.0). Acceleration to 60mph is achieved in 13.8 seconds, with a top speed of 100mph.
The Picanto 'Wave' costs £11,895 and has a five-speed manual transmission.
In keeping with every Kia, the new special edition models come with an industry leading seven-year or 100,000-mile warranty, subject to certain wear and tear conditions. The warranty is fully transferable should the car be sold before the time or mileage limits have been reached.
Also available are 'Kia Care' service plans, which have been developed to provide customers with a wide range of service plan options for any Kia model within the first seven years of the vehicle's life – matching its industry-leading seven-year warranty.
For more information on the new models, the unique Kia warranty or the Kia Care packages, please visit Wessex Garages.

I went by the liquor mega-store this week and there were four cars in the parking lot. Inside there were a couple of customers and a couple of clerks. The deli was closed.
About a week ago I was walking home from Juarez and the streets of downtown were empty. I mean not completely empty, but traffic was light. Very light. It felt like one of those post-apocalyptic science fiction flicks. Like Omega Man, or I am Legend, but without the vampires.
It's hot. So maybe everyone stays home. Maybe they've gone to their house in La Jolla, or Vail, or Puerto Peñasco, or Ruidoso.
Are they coming back?
Would you?

Readings and discussions (40%)
The focus is on inquiry teaching and learning, including rationales, approaches, implementations, challenges, and dilemmas. Inquiry-based learning does not ignore the usual focus on content: "What should be taught? What do learners need to know?," or method: "How should we teach?" but it begins with even more basic questions. We will explore at least one of these each week. We will discuss articles drawn from a diverse collection of readings, including descriptions of classrooms and other learning settings, analyses of student learning, theoretical analyses of inquiry, and critiques of these approaches. These articles are meant to be read and thought about within the context of our own inquiry projects.
After the first few weeks, students will lead the class discussions. This will work out to one to three sessions, and may be done in teams. For that week, you may use the inquiry unit as shown in the syllabus, select one from the list under "Other questions," or create an entirely new question. You may use an existing unit as it stands or revise it to reflect your own interests. (If you choose to revise a unit, you should move the old content to the end under a heading such as "other activities.")
One student each week will be asked to write a short reflection on the unit, and post it in the Class notes section of the Bulletin Board. This will also serve as a shared memory on what we did that day, as well as a repository for citations, announcements, and such that may arise in the discussions.
Inquiries into inquiry (60%)
During class, we will engage in our own inquiries into a variety of topics. Through these activities we will establish a common experiential base for our conversations about learning.
In the first week or two, we will designate a whole class inquiry from among Possible class inquiries. Students will then select a topic (ideally within that, but not necessarily). There will then be five assignments related to the inquiry. The word counts are simply to give an idea of the expected scope, and are not a rigid requirement. In fact, we will discuss all aspects of the requirements in relation to the whole class inquiry and individual goals for the class.
- Feb. 14: How inquiry is fostered (or not) in a discipline or learning setting (~250 words)
- Feb 21: Annotated Bibliography for inquiry-based learning (three entries each)
- Mar. 7: Draft/outline of a contribution to the Inquiry kit (~1250 words)
- Mar. 14: Responses to two projects of other students (~200 words each)
- Apr. 11: Class presentations begin (15 min. + 15 min. discussion)
- Apr 18: Final report (~2500 words)
Discussions about these in inquiries will continue in the Bulletin Board. The texts are posted to the Document Center. Note that both of these online venues are private to members of the class.
Weekly questions and schedule
As Neil Postman and Charles Weingartner discuss in Teaching as a Subversive Activity, asking fundamental questions can get you into a lot of trouble. Simple and obvious assumptions about teaching and learning, such as "We need to have clear (even national) standards for what is to be learned," "Learning objectives should be explicit," "The instructor should always provide clear explanations," "Learning should proceed from simple tasks to more complex ones," "It's important to determine the learner's readiness to learn, "One has to learn the basics first," and many more, turn out to be neither simple nor obvious.
Jan. 24: What assumptions do we make about teaching and learning?
Consideration of some of the assumptions we make about teachers and teaching, students, learning, and the interactions among these.
- Introductions/course goals
- Syllabus/expectations
- Choosing a class inquiry | Journal of Education for Library and Information Science special issue
- What is inquiry-based learning?
- Assumptions about learning

How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School Recent research provides a deep understanding of complex reasoning and performance on problem-solving tasks and how skill and understanding in key subjects are acquired.
Zajda, Joseph (Ed.) Learning and teaching. ISBN 1-875-40808-8 Explores major and current themes in the learning/teaching process – from an international and comparative perspective. The authors debate such issues as learning and cognitive processes, students in the classroom and teaching styles. Their views are based on either the findings of original research or observation as experienced teacher educators. Topics covered include learning enhancement, reflection in education, cognition, excellence in education, special schools, classroom interaction, discrimination, assessment and what makes a "good" teacher.
Consider each of the eight assumptions in the Easley article, working in small groups. Which of these are true, sometimes true? What factors might cause you to question any of them?
- Teachers should regularly lead class discussions, presenting clear explanations and examples of basic concepts and/or asking questions so that students can piece together the principles desired.
- All teachers need to master their subjects, as a prior condition to trying to teach them.
- Teachers can and should transmit their knowledge to pupils.
- Teachers should, at first, present simple and easy problems and tasks, in order to build pupils' courage to tackle more difficult and unfamiliar tasks.
- Teachers should give equal attention to all pupils.
- Teachers should give quick feedback on pupils' work, indicating clearly what is wrong and why.
- Children should focus first on content and second on means of expression.
- Children should strive to understand their teachers and the textbooks.

The Navy is genuinely happy that they get to serve face with Fenty Beauty products, but they're ready for some Fenty Music. Rihanna hasn't dropped an album since 2016 and she told her fans that she was releasing one in 2019.
Well, there are only three months left of 2019 and there's still no album from Riri.
Multiple reporters who were covering Universal Music France's Open Session event and the label confirmed that the ANTI singer will be releasing her ninth studio album in December.

Rihanna has stayed relatively quiet about her upcoming collection, but rumor has it that it's a reggae album.
She sat down with Interview Magazine in June and explained how eager she was for it to drop.
"It really does suck that it can't just come out because I'm working on a really fun one right now," she said. "I'm really happy with a lot of the material we have so far, but I am not going to put it out until it's complete. It makes no sense to rush it, but I want it out. I've gotten to the point where I'm like, 'Even if I don't have the time to shoot videos, I'm going to put an album out.'"
Are you ready for new music from the bad gal?

Sounding Off: Cyberattack Threats
Cyberattacks remain a huge concern for the banking channel and Chuck Hagel said that they could potentially bring down the U.S. financial network.
After this story ran, several industry insiders sounded off on the topic of cyberattacks including Tim McSherry, an area manager for Check Point.
For a long time, while even the largest organizations knew they needed to protect themselves, they couldnt quite grasp what they needed to protect themselves against. Well publicized attacks on major commercial banks, including JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America, among them has brought much needed attention to how real these emerging threats are.
Could cyberattacks bring down the U.S. financial network? Not only is it possible, its already happened to major contributing institutions. Receiving less attention is the fact that these attacks are plaguing all verticals, including government, health care, media, and others.
While the motivation behind these attacks are intriguing, what to do about them is more important to address. The good news is that there are solutions. A well-planned organizational security posture will have people, products, and procedures defined to address intrusion prevention, denial of service, and data loss prevention. While it may sound daunting, its not, if you partner with the appropriate experts.

Zombies, Run! (free)
The app that gives you a reason to run.
Run for your life!
In a post apocalyptic world, where the zombies have taken over, you are among the only survivors and you are trying to get to the safe house on the other side of the planet. You have to run to gain supplies, reach the airplanes and get to the different campsites. New missions appear every week, and the user interface is extremely friendly. If I could rate this app any higher, i would. i have already recommended it to many of my cousins. My favorite feature of this app is that i can make music playlists to listen to while running.
You must create an account to use the app. As you begin to progress further into the app, you get more food, water and supplies. Shelter is reached every 20 miles, so you have to run or you will be eaten. It does not allow you to create your own playlist, and it does not sync with my Fitbit, but other then that, this a great app for many people. Also, you have to save when you exit, but it takes 2 seconds. The app is overall well designed and is very easy to understand and use.
Their location on play store is:
The end!!!!!!!
This app should be used to motivate yourself to run. It is extremely fun to use and is amazing for cardio-vascular exercise. This is an app that can help somewhat obese people get back in shape and provide motivation for people who can run, but don't like to.

This piece explores the depth a parent has with their child, how a relationship is cultivated through years of experience and whether any of it really matters.
It's important that we remember that all human notions, beliefs, superstitions, relationships, loves, fears and plans are meaningless to an event. We all do things that are pointless, vapid and fleeting and we repeat the actions daily, weekly and yearly. We should remember that our time here is all of existence as far as we each are concerned.
