Greece's parliament square, Syntagma square, has been the center stage for protests against the country's harsh austerity measures since spring 2010, when the first EU/IMF bailout package was signed.
Thirteen months later, on the eve of the vote of confidence for the ruling socialist party, PASOK, the masses continue to gather, but the people's spirit has hit rock bottom. Hope for a better future after austerity measures has turned into desperation and anger, for some even into resignation. And for many it is back to square one—in this case Syntagma square.
It is a square that people in Athens flock to for shopping in fancy boutiques, or listen to street musicians during balmy summer nights, where foreigners stay in glitzy hotels.
It has now been transformed into a place where protesters of all ages and professions rally in their thousands against the harsh - and they say unjust - austerity measures imposed by the government. Speeches are being made, people are chanting, insulting the politicians and lift and banners with slogans like "Thieves, Thieves" and "Resistance is the only way".
It is a crowd which represents a people that has lost patience with the government and its relentless drive for austerity. Papandreou's administration is under immense pressure by EU and IMF to cut its ballooning deficit. Since early 2010, public sector wages were cut by a fifth and pensions by a tenth.
The latest labor market data reveal the extreme extent of the stress that is caused by austerity: In the first quarter of 2011, unemployment rate hit 15.9 percent—the highest print since quarterly records began in 1998. Greek youth unemployment has hit a staggering 30 percent in the same quarter.
But who are these protesters? The violent, anarchic and far right extremists do not usually convene on the square. The far left protestors often occupy the middle of the square, while the nationalists are found closer towards the parliament. The majority of protesters are peaceful and include businessmen, students, housewives and academics.
With patience running thin, these Greeks are infuriated and blame the country's politicians for the dire situation they find themselves in. Some direct their anger towards authorities they suspect of being corrupt, whether that be in politics or in business.
A core group of protesters, founded on Facebook, called "The Indignants" has camped outside the parliament for 27 days in a row. A group of 30 indignant protesters began walking the 250km (155 miles) from Sparta to Athens on Sunday to join the protests today.
Critics say the protests are merely an infantile response to the real political crisis, and claim that the protestors have no objective, no clear strategy and offer no practical solution to the problems that Greece is facing.
A core protest movement called "Real Democracy"—a conservative opposition—believes that a political party may emerge from the protests on Syntagma square. However, the group remains disorganized and has no clear leader.
For now, all protesters can do is continue chanting, it seems there is little they can do but swallow the bitter pill of more austerity. At least, however, many will leave the square knowing they fought till the end.

Developer Biography
Benjamin Richard Croshaw, better known by his Internet name "Yahtzee", is an English-born indie video game developer, gaming critic and writer. After several years of operating from Brisbane, Australia, he is currently situated in San Francisco, California.
In high school, Croshaw started developing games using Visual Basic 3 and Microsoft Paint. He started developing adventure games in Adventure Game Studio (AGS) in the early 2000s, which powered his Rob Blanc trilogy, among others. After a while, he left the AGS community in bad terms, but re-entered it afterwards to release games such as The Trials of Odysseus Kent and the first episode of the collaborative Reality-on-the-Norm series, called Lunchtime of the Damned. During this time, he released his best-known games: 5 Days A Stranger, 7 Days A Skeptic, Trilby's Notes, and 6 Days A Sacrifice, cumulatively known as the Chzo Mythos. He separated from the community again, but still developed games, primarily the 1213 series. He has since admitted to lurk in the AGS community under different names. He is to this day the most prized person in the AGS Awards, with a total of 53 nominations and 19 awards.
In 2007, Croshaw created two reviews for his blog, Fully Ramblomatic, using his trademark minimalist graphics and mostly static imagery, and talked with his signature fast rhetoric. He was immediately approached to by The Escapist Magazine, and has since been creating the Zero Punctuation video review series on a weekly basis. The show is characterized by a tongue-in-cheek British humour and Yahtzee's tendency to point out and sometimes even deliberately exaggerate the bad sides of the games reviewed, as he believes the negative elements are not stressed enough in gaming journalism as opposed to the positive ones. Hence, few games have received a positive review, such as Psychonauts, The Orange Box, Thief: The Dark Project and Silent Hill 2.
He is also the author of the Extra Punctuation column on The Escapist's official website, which he writes twice a month. In 2015, he started the satirical Judging By The Cover video series, which has, as of that year, been the only remaining gaming-related video production under The Escapist label, alongside Zero Punctuation.
Croshaw has continued with his gaming development in parallel with his critic work, releasing Poacher in 2012, and Hatfall and The Consuming Shadow in 2015. He is also the author of several webcomics and three novels released through Dark Horse Comics: Mogworld, Jam, and Will Save the Galaxy for Food.

Task 1
The business, which I have decided to base this assignment on, is Mayfield School And College. The school has a large ground area with 6 additional buildings placed separately around the school site.
As Mayfield has many department areas, I have decided to mainly focus on the IT department of the college.
There are two main aspects of the IT department, which is;
"ëTHE PRACTICAL - this involves the use of computers, with a qualified teacher or supervisor within the room to assist students.
"ëTHE THEORY - this involves taking part of sitting within a classroom with the traditional board and pen method of teaching.
Each lesson is taught by an IT teacher that is responsible for each student. The teacher is obliged by law to be trained either visually or verbally on how to conduct of all health and safety aspects in how to keep students safe within each room.
The head of the IT department is Miss Christina Botha, these responsibilities would be part of her responsibility, to make sure all teachers know how to use equipment within a proper manner and know all fire drill regulations and first aid helpers. This should be taught to the employee during training.
As all other business Mayfield has to obey by the Health and Safety laws. The health and safety law is a UK legislation running since the mid-nineteenth century, the main legislation that is run today is the health and safety act 1974, and this requires employers to formulate a written safety policy, places and obligation on employees to observe safety rules. This act established the Health and Safety Commission to formulate safety regulations and codes of practice, and the health and safety executive to enforce the provisions of the act.
On the college grounds...

Le Condé, Punch & Cocktail Bar Branding
Marçal Prats shared a super complete and beautiful branding project on Behance.
Clinic Clothing is a brand identity and art direction project shared by Vivien bertin for a fashion design. The visual language is simple but quite elegant with a classic black and white scheme and simple but yet bold typography. In this post you can see the brand identity and design process for this project including the applications from the physical world like collaterals to web and mobile app design. Everything is consistent but also coherent from the visual design point of view, if you look at the applications you can tell that they are part of a family or system. That, in my opinion, is what great design is all about.
In the consciousness of man and his anatomy, the designers and researchers of the clothing clinic propose alternative concepts to the contemporary textile industry. My role was to accompany this young brand through a work of global artistic direction; The creation of logos, the photographic direction, the design of the communication media as well as all the digital tools.
I'm Vivien Bertin, art director and illustrator based in Paris, France. Fascinated by images of all shapes and forms, my work is often defined by the presence of drawing, halfway between illustration and graphic design. After 4 years in a french creative agency, designing visual identities and illustrations, I currently work as a freelance graphic designer.

So You Think You Can Dance - The eight dancers kicks off the night with a routine with fans and the girls dressed in Chinese silk dresses. Interesting routine but not a favorite. It's a new choreographer whose name I missed but don't feel it necessary to find out. Jesse Tyler Ferguson from Modern Family makes his return appearance as a guest judge, which should make for some fun commentary. All dancers will perform a solo and a routine with an All Star; don't expect solo recaps cause that ish is dull (and because I took a late nap I probably fast forwarded through them for time).
I only really loved a couple performances tonight. Truth be told, I found myself a bit bored at times and maybe it was the sleepiness from my nap. But I looooved Cole and Alison's funky Sonja contemporary of the desperate woman after a soulless man. Cole's face is stoic and angry, while Alison's emotions are front and center. It's dramatic and I love it. Perhaps it's my Team Eliana stance, but I loved her quickstep with Ryan from season 6. She's a bored housewife who wants attention from her husband in the form of a fast, fun dance that screws people with votes. Don't worry Eliana, I voted for you. I did NOT vote for Cheon, who I don't care for, but I'll give him credit for his slow and sulty tango, which Mary Murphy gives a ride aboard the super annoying hot tamale train. And lovable Will gets to show off a more serious side in a dance-away-the-pain hip hop routine where he really shines. Especially while jumping on sectionals.
My middle/bottom groups, because no one was truly awful. Tiffany and Ade do this pretty contemporary to Celine Dion's powerhouse ballad "The Power of Love." It's a beautiful piece with excellent partner work that garners a standing ovation. But seriously, every week I forget Tiffany exists. I enjoyed Lindsay and Alex's jazz-o-sexual tension, which was simple with great execution. The lack of chemistry is what lands them in the middle of the pack for me. Witney and Twitch work with new choreographer Luther Brown who is bringing east coast hip hop. I really enjoyed the routine (some fresh hip hop blood is always needed) but I found Witney's hair and wardrobe distracting. Her blonde hair is blowing around like there's a fan, she's got cheerleader faces, and the hammer pants draw attention to her sort of spazzy attempts. My least favorite routine of the night was definitely Cyrus and season 8 champion Melanie. For a dance the choreographer claimed was fast pace, it seemed slow and corny. Even the perfection that is Melanie can't save the dance. It was also about Cyrus' pants. And while I love Cyrus as a personality and his solo work is phenomenal, he hasn't experienced a level of technical growth that other hip hop performers of this show have. I think his charisma is what will give him the male win this season.
The bottom two girls are BFFs Witney and Lindsay. Lindsay has been in the bottom far too many times for me at this point. It means viewers don't respond to her and it's time to go. The judges keep Witney, eliminating Lindsay and I totally agree. The bottom guys are Cole and Will. WTF? How did Cheon survive? Absolute travesty. I'm not pleased about what goes down for the guys at all. Will is eliminated and I'm crushed because I loved that tall bundle of joy. BOO viewers. BOO.

Right To Refuse / Perceived Danger
Reader comment on item: Don't Bring That Booze into My Taxi
Submitted by Rachel Peck (United States), Oct 12, 2006 at 16:44
All those situations you list affect other people, anywhere from inconvenience to danger. This does not apply to someone carrying a bottle of alcohol. None of the drivers has said he was afraid the passenger would drink in the taxi and get unruly, or break the bottle over his head. Not one said he was afraid the passenger would force him to drink alcohol, or even offer it to him. There is no legitimate reason for refusing these passengers.

A study by Expedia has found that a quarter of people (25 per cent) are planning to go solo on a trip in the next 12 months, with the average solo trip lasting 11 days. And the reason for this is that 44 per cent of people prefer to be able to do their own thing.
Another reason for heading on holiday on their own is because they want to get a bit of 'me' time and also want some escapism from their normal life.
A third of people also admitted going on their own meant they had a better experience and it also improved their own confidence and mental health.
One fifth of British people also revealed they travelled alone because their friends were having families and settling down whilst 14 per cent of people said they couldn't agree with their friends about the destination.
Mark Tavender, travel expert at Expedia, said: "Although Brits are keen to indulge in a bit of alone time, we're more attached to our phones than ever before. Whilst we might 'physically' be travelling solo, we never experience loneliness when we have the company and conversation of hundreds of people at our finger tips. Technology plays a huge role in the vacation of a modern traveller, particularly Instagram, which is not only a source of destination inspiration, but now also dictates how we holiday. Whilst social media is great for documenting our trips, it's important that we still take a bit of time away from our phones to truly immerse ourselves in our travels."

Developed in consultation with over 500 defenders from every region, and settled and adopted by 28 of the world's leading human rights experts and jurists, the Model Law provides authoritative guidance to States on how to implement the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders at the national level. It also provides an influential new tool for civil society to promote, evaluate and report on implementation.
(Geneva) – ISHR today launched a groundbreaking Model National Law which countries will be able to use to create or improve their own legal protections for human rights defenders.
Developed in consultation with over 500 defenders from every region, and settled and adopted by 28 of the world's leading human rights experts and jurists, the Model Law for the Recognition and Protection of Human Rights Defenders provides authoritative guidance to States on how to implement the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders at the national level. It also provides an influential new tool for civil society to promote, evaluate and report on implementation.
'The Model Law will be a powerful and important new tool in the hands of both human rights defenders and governments,' said UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders, Michel Forst, one of the experts endorsing the Law.
Fellow expert, Kamala Chandrakirana of the UN Working Group on Discrimination against Women in Law and in Practice, said, 'The Model Law will trigger and open the space for discussion as to how to effectively protect human rights defenders.'
'We urge all States to legislate and implement this Model Law,' added Guadalupe Marengo, Head of the Global Human Rights Defenders Team with Amnesty International, and another expert to endorse the Law.
The Model Law was developed over a three year period and informed by inputs including:
'I fully endorse this Model Law and especially wish to thank the members of the ISHR team, whose work has from the outset been truly outstanding,' said Sir Nicolas Bratza, former President of the European Court of Human Rights.
'The effort undertaken by ISHR over the past years to elaborate this Model Law will contribute to advancing the right to protect human rights worldwide and to do it without fear,' added Mauricio Angel of Protection International.
The launch of the Model Law coincides with the launch of a new report by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on the key elements of a safe and enabling environment for defenders and other civil society actors. Foremost among the elements identified in the report is ensuring a 'supportive legal framework and effective access to justice'.
In the report, the High Commissioner concludes that the legal recognition of the rights to freedom of opinion, expression, peaceful assembly, association and participation in public affairs is essential to the protection, exercise and realisation of all other human rights. Accordingly, the High Commissioner says, States should enact specific laws on the protection of human rights defenders, 'review and repeal or amend all legal provisions that impede the free and independent work of civil society actors' and 'ensure that all legislation affecting their ability to work complies with relevant international human rights laws and standards and with the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders'.
The Model Law adopted by the 28 high-level experts will assist States to implement these recommendations and contains detailed, precise legal provisions relating to:
The provisions, each of which is accompanied by a commentary, are drafted in such a way as to be adaptable to different national legal contexts, systems and traditions.
The Model Law also contains detailed annexures with model provisions on the effective operation of a protection mechanism, and processes and principles to ensure that other laws are developed, interpreted and applied compatibly with the Model Law.
'The Model Law on the Recognition and Protection of Human Rights Defenders is comprehensive and substantive. I am confident that it will provide a valuable tool for human rights defenders in their domestic jurisdictions,' said leading Indian human rights lawyer and defender Vrinda Grover.
ISHR launches the law recognising that the enactment of a specific human rights defender protection laws is a vital but in itself insufficient measure to ensure a safe and enabling environment for defenders. Such laws need to be accompanied by high-level political support and adequate resources for their implementation.
They also need to be complemented by a range of other measures, including strong, independent and effective judiciaries and national human rights institutions, close attention to the particular situation and protection needs of women human rights defenders, and safe and open access to UN and regional human rights mechanisms.
'The legal recognition and protection of defenders is crucial to ensuring that they can work in a safe, supportive environment and be free from attacks, reprisals and unreasonable restrictions. The legal recognition and protection of defenders also contributes to the broader goals of upholding human rights, and promoting democracy, good government, sustainable development and respect for the rule of law,' said ISHR Director Phil Lynch.
'The enactment of this Model Law, therefore, will not just serve and pursue the interests of rights holders and victims of violations, but of society as a whole,' Mr Lynch said.
Following the launch, ISHR will now work with national and regional partners towards the enactment of the Model Law in a number of jurisdictions, including Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Sierra Leone. It is our hope and aspiration, however, that it is used by a diverse and dynamic range of defenders, together with progressive governments and policy makers across the world, to ensure the effective implementation of the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders at the national level.
The 28 experts formally endorsing the Model Law, many of whom were involved in the negotiation of the Declaration itself, are:

"I am experiencing normal hearing in my right ear from 20Hz to about 2000Hz with a *radical* hearing loss after 2000 Hz. A test of brainstem response (ABR) indicates a "blockage" or problem in the cochlea. Everything else normal, including physical attributes of eardrum, eustachian tube etc. Cause is unknown, but said to be from 'inflammation' of the soft tissues in the area. CT Scan (with contrast) reveals no acoustic neuroma or other tumours.
I have an impacted wisdom tooth on the same side as the hearing loss, as well as noises in my jaw on that same side and a feeling of fullness or mild pressure on the right side. Is it possible (never mind probable) that the root from this wisdom tooth has compressed the tissues around the cochlea and thus has caused this hearing problem? (I understand it's possible that the tissues around the cochlea can become inflamed and constrict blood flow to the cochlea. The inflammation itself does not cause the hearing loss, but over time the constricted blood flow causes damage to the cochlea, which in turn affects the hearing)
I would appreciate any information you may have on this question. I'm stumped. (and a bit deaf...)"
"High frequency hearing loss is a common cochlear disorder and is normally due to a pathological process in the basal turns of the cochlear. The commonest causes of this disorder are: vascular deficiency, noise induced, aminoglycoside toxicity and hair cell presbyacusis. This type of sensiro-neural deafness appears to have been fully investigated in the correspondents question. The use of brainstem evoked response audiometry is normally used to exclude serious pathology such as an acoustic neuroma, that was ruled out in this case by the CT scan.
The question of relationship to inflammed wisdom teeth sounds initially far fetched even taking referred pain into account. However an acoustic neuroma, a slow growing tumour at the cerebello-pontine angle, occurs at the confluence of cranial nerves V, VII and VIII. Thus hearing loss mediated by disruption of the VIII nerve can co-exist with sensory disturbance in the region of the Vth cranial nerve. Hence, the rare chance of sensory disturbance around wisdom teeth being associated with a central 'brain tumour'. Thankfully this has been excluded in the investigations performed in this case.
It is important to note that sensory loss around the face should be referred for an expert opinion."

A fresh Aperture Science-penned press release has emerged from Valve, confirming a delay for Portal 2 and attempting to put various E3 rumours to rest.
"Portal 2, the sequel to the ground-breaking title that earned over 30 Game of the Year awards despite missing its original ship date, is now targeted for a 2011 release," the release states. This replaces the original 'Holiday 2010' release date prediction, and may explain why the Portal 2 press event for E3 was cancelled.
In suggesting that the Portal 2 event would be replaced by a 'surprise,' however, Valve unwittingly (or perhaps wittingly) unleashed a torrent of internet speculation. With Half-Life 2: Episode 3 already ruled out, we can now probably end the rest of the guessing games too.
Today's press release amusingly describes the E3 surprise in all-caps terms as "***PORTAL-2-THEMED-FOR-GOD'S SAKE***"

Perfect Game All-American Jonathan Gates has been making a
name for himself over the past few years, dominating on the mound and at the
plate at Nature Coast Technical High School in Brooksville, Fla.
The program turned over the coaching staff in 2015, bringing
in Frank Vitale to rejuvenate a program that had endured losing seasons from
2010-2014. Although 2015 was another rough season for the Sharks, who went
6-15, Gates thrived on the mound and at the plate as a freshman, posting a .309
average with 11 extra-base hits, while pitching to an ERA of 2.94. It would be
just the beginning of a turnaround of the program, and Vitale knew from the very
beginning that Gates had what it took to be successful.
"He played fall baseball with us,
and I knew after watching him play just one game, I knew he could go out there
with the varsity kids. I've been coaching a long time, so I've had other kids excel
at that age too with the varsity, and I don't have anything against freshman
playing varsity as long as they can handle it mentally as well as physically,"
Vitale said. "So, when he started working out with us and playing fall
baseball, I knew that he would be able to handle it just by not just the
physical part, because he was physically ready to play, it was the mental part
of it that was stand out."
The team broke the losing streak in 2016, going 20-5. They
won their district championship and played their way to the regional
quarterfinals. On the mound, Gates went 6-0 with a 0.56 ERA and fell just short
of 100 strikeouts, striking out 98 in 62 innings. At the plate, the lefty also
paced the squad, hitting .468 with four home runs, 43 RBIs and 17 stolen bases.
"We started off, it wasn't really
like a baseball background. We had a new coach, so we didn't know [what to
expect]. We basically made Nature Coast a name at that high school. We put
ourselves on the map. We've had our struggles here and there, but were a really
good team when we get together and play as a team," Gates said.
Gates would notch a no-hitter in
the district tournament against the Central Bears, coming close to a perfect
game, but was hurt by an error. Although he could have become upset over losing
the perfect game, he did not let it affect him and competed the rest of the way
for the win.
"I think a part of his best
attributes as a pitcher is that he doesn't let certain situations get to him,
like if a kid makes an error in the field, you don't know that there's
something wrong with him, so he's got that straight face down on the field
where he's out there and you don't know whether he's winning or losing when he's
out there pitching," Vitale said.
Coming into 2017, Central High
School was on the schedule early in the season, and Gates, knowing the lineup,
looked to repeat his performance and pick up his teammates behind him. Gates took
it to them, pitching a perfect game, while striking out all 15 batters that he
faced. The offense scored 10 runs in support, ending the game after just five
"I was just locked in that game,
came out and I threw the game of my life basically," Gates said.
"So, we got the 10th run on a walk-off and he
finished out on a 10-0 win with 15 strikeouts, which is ridiculous," Vitale
said. "I mean, I've seen perfect games before in high school, I've heard about
kids around the country who are throwing 21 strikeouts in seven innings, but to
watch it and see it first hand was really, really something special, probably
something I'll never forget."
Nature Coast finished the season
19-10, making it to the region semifinals and solidifying their program as a
force to be reckoned with. Gates hit .478 with 10 home runs and 45 RBIs and
posted an ERA of 0.89 with 114 strikeouts in 55 innings pitched on the mound,
continuing to make improvements in his game.
The No. 23 overall player and the
No. 3 lefthanded pitcher in the class of 2018 features a deliberate delivery on
the mound, and throws four pitches for strikes. He said his best pitch is his
tight slider, and accompanies that with a four-seam fastball, a two-seam
fastball and a changeup. The changeup has been a pitch that he has developed in
high school, and Vitale pointed to it being a strong contributor to his
"He's been working on a changeup. His freshman year he didn't
have it at all, it was a pitch that he rarely threw," Vitale said. "He started
working on it and as a sophomore he threw it a little more, and then last year
as a junior, he was probably throwing about seven to 10 changeups over the
course of a game."
Even though he has succeeded on the
mound, the 6-foot-2, 189-pound lefty does not possess the high-90s fastball
that others who have had this type of success do, sitting in the low-90s, but
makes an effort to pitch instead of throw.
"Well I don't throw 96-97 or
overpower anyone, so I obviously know I'm not going to blow anything by
someone," Gates said. "A lot of these guys can hit the fastball, so you have to
work the count with different pitches and I'm smart with my pitches. All of
them move differently, so it helps me when I have control of all of them and I
have them off-balance, knowing that I'm switching up the count at them, instead
of just fastballs all the time."
Even though his pitching has
garnered much of the attention, the lefthanded hitting Gates has shown some
two-way potential after posting three terrific high school campaigns at the
plate. Gates has shown good power in the batter's box and said that he takes
pride in making contact and putting the ball in play, evidenced by him walking
18 times and striking out only 12 in 111 plate appearances in his junior
"It's amazing because teams know him in the area, and they
pitch around him and he still hits the ball," Vitale said. "Last year he had 10
home runs, so that's a lot of home runs for high school especially when teams are
pitching around you. He's still able to hit the ball the other way. Most teams
just pitch outside on him and not come in, and he still hits the ball out the
other way."
The University of Miami took notice
of the talent of Gates and were able to gain a verbal commitment from the
lefty, who resides in Brooksville, Fla., about an hour north of Tampa. Originally
born in Key West, Gates still has family there, so being able to play closer to
his relatives and family was a big reason behind his commitment.
"I've always been a huge Miami fan,
and I thought since a lot of my family from Key West doesn't get to see me
play, it would be better if I'm five hours away than 13, 20 hours away and need
a plane flight, so I'm only a drive away," Gates said. "Miami is a really, really
good baseball school and academically, too, so that played into it as well."
In June, The No. 8 ranked player in
Florida in the class of 2018 ventured to the southwest part of the state, making
the two-hour, 45-minute trek down to Fort Myers, Fla., for the PG National Showcase
at JetBlue Park. There, he continued to make a name for himself while facing
some of the best players in the country and punched out all six batters that he
faced in his outing, reaching 92 mph with his fastball and showcasing good
command of his pitches. The 17-year-old is no stranger to the showcase circuit,
playing in dozens of PG events with Florida Travel Baseball over the past three
years, and knows what it takes to compete against the best.
"It was difficult because there
were a lot of guys there with a lot of great talent, and I knew it was going to
be hard to become an All-American, so I just went out there and did the best
that I could against all the great talent they had out there," Gates said.
In the weeks following, Gates would receive the phone call
of his nomination to the PGAAC while he was with his family and was able to
share the special moment with the people who have put in a lot of time and
effort for him. Three of his FTB Tucci 55 teammates were also named to the
game, including Nander De Sedas, Austin Wells and Preston Hartsell, which will
allow him to share the experience with a few members of his baseball family.
said that he has watched the game in the past and is excited for the whole
weekend of activities with new and familiar faces.
"Mostly just going to the hospital and seeing all the kids
and being in the game of course, but just having fun with a bunch of guys there
that want the same journey and job that I do," Gates said. "I've watched it in
the past. I've always been like, 'I want to do that, I want to be there.'"
The event will be a nice kick-off to the 2017-18 school year
for the Nature Coast senior, who is looking to continue his dominance on the
mound against some of the best competition in the country.

After putting this off for years, I sent my saliva to 23 and Me to find my health risks, my relatives and my ancestral origins. The information that I received via email yesterday was exciting, fun, and, thank goodness, it was mostly okay.
There are 1,001 relatives I didn't know on my list, and one is impressive. That one is J. Craig Venter, the former president and chief scientific officer of Celera Genomics. Craig and Francis Collins are credited with the first mapping of the human genome. Up to this point, my only famous relatives were the ones who founded Uniontown, and cousin who owned "Gunsmoke's" Long Branch Saloon.
The report revealed that I didn't have the genes for Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, and that was a relief. There were no major genetic abnormalities that I've passed on to my kids or grandkids, and that was a relief, but there were some more interesting facts that cracked me up.
For example, I'm a tiny part Neanderthal. Today, that's probably not something to put in your curriculum vitae, but it's a minute enough portion that it explains some of my physical traits like straight hair and a little hair on my back. I know, TMI. Thankfully, the percentage was low enough that I'm not a knuckle dragger.
My very favorite part of the report came from the page entitled traits. This was something I hadn't expected to find from a tablespoon of saliva. For example, the very first trait is that I have the ability to match musical pitch. Once again, what a relief. Especially since I had majored in music in college. That is a trait that I had not realized could be determined from genetics. So, when adults tell me they have absolutely no ability to match pitch, maybe it isn't just because some music teacher didn't want to deal with them.
Here come some of the funnier and more interesting ones that caught my attention. For example, I will not have a uni-brow. Oh, and how about this one? There are slightly higher odds that I will not like cilantro. After all these years, I finally understand.
For those of you who wonder about the unusual smell when you go to the bathroom after eating asparagus, it's heredity! Apparently, some people don't notice any difference, but for me? Post asparagus potty-time is clearly noticeable, memorable and well-defined.
I'm more likely not to be bitten by mosquitoes any more than the average human. I'd argue that one to my mosquito scratching grave, but hey, it's not a perfect test.
How about this one? I'm likely to wake up around 6:58 a.m. every morning. OMG, that is soooo true. What the heck is that? I don't want to wake up at 6:58 a.m., but regardless of the time zone, that's my wake up time. OK, it's not always my get-up time. When I ran hospitals and had to be at work by 6:30 a.m. for meetings, I'll admit that sometimes I didn't wake up during those meetings until almost 8, but who knew?
This one is a little gross, but I'm more likely to have wet vs. un-wet ear wax. Not that any of us needed or wanted to know that, but there it is. Hazel or brown eyes, no dimples, and detached ear lobes that I'm hoping won't become too detached.
And here's the one that's been bugging me for years. When I get my picture taken, my hair will be photo bleached. That means I'll look even more bald than I am. Photo bleached hair, a genetic trait? Who knew? 23 and Me, that's who.

To create cinematic illusions, you need conjurors. In this series of spotlight interviews, we ask movie magicians what makes them tick.
Joel Harlow is a makeup and special effects makeup artist and designer with a career spanning decades. He created 56 unique alien species for Star Trek Beyond and has been Johnny Depp's makeup artist for many years. Recent screen credits include the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films, Hellboy (2019), The Lone Ranger, Logan, Black Mass and Black Panther.
CINEFEX: Joel, how did you get started in the business?
JOEL HARLOW: I always knew I wanted to create characters. After graduating from high school, I went to New York's School of Visual Arts and enrolled in the animation program, since there were no makeup classes I could find – a far, far cry from today. I figured that I could create characters using two-dimensional techniques, stop-motion and clay animation, while still working on makeup techniques outside of school. It was here that I met some very talented artists working in the makeup effects world, and helped out on some of the projects they were working on at the time. After a couple of years in New York, I wound up on the makeup crew of Toxic Avenger 2 and 3. It was a rough project every step of the way! It was 24/7 work, for no money, with incredibly long commutes. But we did it because we loved it.
Those early projects really thinned the herd, leaving only the truly passionate. It's different today. It's so easy to enrol in a school and learn the techniques – we had to learn through experimentation and word of mouth. It's almost too easy because, in my opinion, the struggle adds to the appreciation of the opportunity.
Anyway, after my time in New York, I relocated to Los Angeles where I shopped my portfolio around. I landed a job at Steve Johnson's XFX, where I stayed for about eight years, learning from some of the industry's most innovative artists and technicians. It was at the height of makeup effects – digital had not yet found its place, so effects that could be easily done digitally today had to be done practically. It was a great time for the industry.
CINEFEX: What aspect of your job makes you grin from ear to ear?
JOEL HARLOW: When it comes to the actual nuts and bolts of what I do, I love that moment right when I finish a makeup – especially if it is a makeup that I have designed and sculpted. The moment when all the months of work and thought come together on an actor, and you see your character come to life for the first time. That 'creation' moment is priceless.
When it comes to this career, I love the people I work with. My crew. They are some of the very best I have ever worked – and played – with.
CINEFEX: And what makes you sob uncontrollably?
JOEL HARLOW: Well, I'm not sure about this one. We work in a world of fantasy, and I think its important we remember that. Artists are a sensitive breed, but all of the inevitable pressure and scrutiny that comes with a career in this industry is temporary. I'm not saying it should ever be treated lightly. I'm saying that you shouldn't make it more than it is – both the failures and the successes. Family and friends – true friends – are far more important.
CINEFEX: What's the most challenging task you've ever faced?
JOEL HARLOW: Every project poses its own challenges – that's why it is so difficult to compare one film to another in an awards arena. No two films offer the same opportunities or obstacles. I would say that budget and time oppose quality at every turn. The biggest challenge I've ever faced is trying to maintain that quality in the face of those obstacles. Fortunately, my team has the same goal. It isn't worth doing if it isn't worth doing right.
CINEFEX: And what's the weirdest task?
JOEL HARLOW: One of the weirder challenges was on one of my very first films. I was shooting down in Florida on a low-budget horror film. Maybe it was my lack of experience at the time, but we hadn't coordinated with the wardrobe department when we started building our prosthetic makeups. This particular makeup was a melting, bubbling skin victim of demonic possession – go figure. Well, I built the prosthetics up to the mid-forearm, thinking the wardrobe would be a long sleeve shirt. He came out of his changing room in a tank top. Fortunately, the colour of the makeup was a purple and brown mix, so I filled the bare skin on his arms with peanut butter and jelly from the craft service table! It worked.
CINEFEX: What changes have you observed in your field over the years?
JOEL HARLOW: When I started out, the movie magic in character creation really focused on practical makeup effects. As the digital art form gradually advanced, there was absolutely a swing away from makeup effects. Recently, however, I've noticed a slight swing back towards practical makeup. The recent films I've worked on have been very much a collaboration between the two art forms. There are obstacles in building that I absolutely count on the visual effects departments to help with, just as there are practical elements that we have created for those departments. With an open dialogue and mutual respect, we have all created some pretty amazing cinematic moments.
CINEFEX: And what changes would you like to see?
JOEL HARLOW: Advancements in materials and techniques have continued ever since I started out. We have materials now that allow for more realistic skin prosthetics, stronger and lighter moulds and parts. I think I would like to see an advancement in the field of digital printing. There is very immediate crossover potential in this arena that hasn't been completely explored yet. Easier, faster, more and more user-friendly, rigid and flexible printouts. It's coming.
CINEFEX: What advice would you give to someone starting out in the business?
JOEL HARLOW: You need to love it. When I started out, I would work on films for free, just to get the experience. Information and materials were much harder to come across than now – today, there are dozens of really well-designed makeup schools. I think, overall, that's a great thing. The one critique I'd voice is that, if anything, it has become too easy to follow this path. Don't get into this business because you want to work on movies or meet movie stars. Do it because you love the art form. Do it because you want to create characters. Whether you are being paid or not, always create! It's a great thing to have ambition as long as its supported by passion.
CINEFEX: If you were to host a mini-festival of your three favorite effects movies, what would you put on the bill, and why?
JOEL HARLOW: An American Werewolf in London has everything. An amazing transformation presented in bright light, an outside-the-box werewolf design, a gradual decomposition progression of a main character from makeup to puppet over the course of the film, and a showcase of imaginative dream-demon characters. It still inspires me as much as it did the first time I viewed it.
Then there's The Thing. It's one of the first films that really inspired me. Every transformation effect in The Thing is mind-blowing, and continues to inspire me.
Finally Jaws, by far my number one cinematic experience. It is about as close to a perfect film as I've seen, in spite of – or because of – the technical issues that the crew faced making it. I could watch it on a loop and never get tired of it.
CINEFEX: What's your favorite movie theater snack?
JOEL HARLOW: Popcorn! Movies and popcorn – it just fits.
CINEFEX: Joel, thanks for your time!

PDB: Can you pitch YOUR NEW BOOK in 25 words or less?
Switchblade Issue 1—the very latest no-limit crime fiction anthology. Featuring the very best in the business outside the big 5; a real steal for only $6.95
PDB: Which music, books, films, songs or television shows do you wish you had written?
I wish I'd written the script for "Heat" (Michael Mann) A film that inspired the 1997 North Hollywood bank shootout, and was most famous for Pacino and Di Niro's first scene on film together. It's a brilliant piece of work, filled with pure style. The downtown LA shootout scene was probably the most accurate and dynamic depictions of combat on film, next to "Saving Private Ryan". Cast-wise it's got everyone—except maybe for Michael Madsen. "Heat" is my top pick for contemporary film noir.
PDB: Which of your books do you think would make good films or TV series?
Well, being a fledgling author who's yet to make the leap from short fiction to novel-length prose—I think any talk of scripts based on the novels I haven't written yet is kind of putting the cart before the horse. However, I do have a finished short script adapted from my short story, "The Pareto Principle", which appeared in Pulp Modern 10.
PDB: Who are your favourite writers?
You know, I just love the kind of authors who can take the reader to a pivotal plot point, and then switch gears completely, denying the reader of any possible dissatisfaction in knowing what's going to happen next. Christa Faust does this flawlessly. I also love authors with a knack for humanizing unlikable protagonists—Jim Thompson does this very well, and so does Lawrence Block, whose "Hit Man" series is one of my favourites. I'm also a big fan of tech noir, and Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon series is one of the absolute best in that genre. If you haven't read these books, they're a little like PKD's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep thrown into a vat of hard boiled hydrochloric acid.
PDB: What's your favourite joke?
What do caviar and Michael Jackson have in common?
They're both black and come on little white crackers. Okay, so that was a little off-color, but I'm not exactly known as a man of taste. Sadly, I can't claim that one, it isn't mine.
PDB: What's your favourite song?
Megalomania by Black Sabbath, off of the Sabotage album. It's a layered piece about religious deprogramming, and one man's interior struggle between the ego, and the id. It's incredibly melancholy for about the first two minutes, then Bill Wards percussion builds into a fist pumping tempo, and once Tony Iommi's guitar kicks in it's like the roar of a high performance muscle car, taking a sharp corner—practically going off the rails, before Ozzy even starts to sing. And then it gets really good.
PDB: What's on the cards?
Failure—and then success. And isn't that what we all want? Bad news before the good news.
PDB: Anything else?
Yes—check out Paul D. Brazill's Brit-Grit flash fiction piece, Getting Away With It, between the pages of Switchblade 1
Bio: Scotch Rutherford is an independent screenwriter and short fiction author, out of Los Angeles. His fiction work has appeared online and in print. He is the creator and managing editor of the quarterly noir anthology, Switchblade.

and watch the status at the bottom ...
i especially liked "applying feng shui" and "lowering standards." funny link... thanks for sharing.
It took me about 5 min before I figured out the site wasnt going to load and that the bottom of the screen was a joke .
Man I am soooo slow
I have dial up, so sites load slowly for me
I guess I'm just used to the lag
it's like an ad promoting cable or something. "dial-up makes an ass out of you. get cable!"
only teasing, of course.
I wish i could but i cant :cry: (I dont get cable tv) no cable line near my house
Im a little slow to day only pushing a crusing 26.4 kbps OH YEA!!
Very funny!
I'm a little worried though that if I wasn't looking for a gag how long I would have waited.
Probably not long because patience is not my chief virtue.

Personal, Focused Attention on Your California or Federal Tax Issues
The term "tax controversy" is used by the IRS, state authority, and legal insiders more than ordinary citizens. This term, however, captures a wide range of circumstances that can greatly complicate your life as a business owner or individual.
Based in Irvine, California, the Tax Litigation Law Offices of Scott Kauffman is here to assist individuals and small to mid-sized companies with all issues relating to federal and state tax law. I am a well-educated, focused Orange County tax controversy attorney who is prepared to deliver personal attention to every client and every case.
Contact my tax law office online today, or call 949-474-1820
to discuss your issue with me during an initial consultation. I do not pass clients on to paralegals or less experienced associates. I will work with you directly to achieve the best possible result at the lowest cost to you.
Protecting Your Interests and Handling All Interactions With Tax Authorities
Disputes and collection efforts can occur due to unfiled returns or at several points after your return has been filed. I primarily represent those who are the target of an IRS audit or IRS investigation and those with potential tax evasion or fraud, and those who need help resolving past-due tax burdens, but my legal education and experience in taxation runs deep. With advanced tax degrees and more than 20 years devoted to tax law, I am comfortable with the full range of negotiations and litigation centered on specific issues such as:
- California residency and tax obligations
- Hobby losses claimed as business expenses or personal deductions
- Wrongful disclosure suits and wrongful levy claims
- Jeopardy assessments
I also help clients defend their rights if they have been formally charged with a tax crime or need help shielding an innocent spouse from exposure. I work hard to negotiate offers in compromise, which allows you to settle your IRS tax debt for less than the total amount you owe.
I am here to step in as soon as you are contacted by the IRS for any reason. In some cases, my clients have just learned they are being audited; in others, bank accounts or other assets may have been seized.
My professional mission and obligation as a California tax litigation attorney is to keep government authorities honest. Please, do not face an IRS audit or deal with another type of tax controversy on your own. Instead, call my office in Orange County today at 949-474-1820 .
Contact an Irvine, California, Audit Representation Lawyer

Do not fight the IRS or California tax authorities on your own. Contact my Orange County tax office today and have an experienced advocate by your side. You may also call my office at 949-474-1820 to discuss your situation or schedule an initial consultation.

Sometimes ago, we presented to you some of the things men do when they want to sleep with ladies who are visiting them in their houses for the first time. Now we would be looking at the things women do to ward off such advances.
There is a reaction to every action; most ladies are naturally cautious and it would be a lie to think most of them do not think or assume men would want to sleep with them the very first time they visit them.
As a result of this, women also devise methods that would protect them as much as possible so the guys would not sleep with them on the first date. Having S3@Xx:' may be inevitable in that relationship at the long run, but women are able to prolong the abstinence for as long as possible when they do take certain steps.
Find below some of the things ladies do when they do not want a guy to sleep with them anytime they go visit them:
1. Keeping the door opened
Ladies sometimes are on the defensive side and ask men to open the door to their rooms so everyone could see what is happening in the room.
To an extent, ladies feel comfortable this way as they know it is near impossible for the guys to attempt being funny or try to have S3@Xx:' with them with the door wide opened.
2. Wearing tight clothes
Another thing ladies do when they go visit men in their houses is to wear tight clothes that have restrictions. It would be pretty difficult getting them out of the cloth and it would give them enough time to allow sanity creep back in peradventure they got carried away.
3. Red flag shows up
Ladies know that men do not like hearing the fact that the red flag is on. Most men would be irritated seeing the blood bank of the girls when they want to sleep with them.
It is a natural turn off for men so ladies use it as a weapon and say they are on. Some even go on to wear pads just to prove it is real.
4. They would have a friend with them
Ladies do not like visiting men for the first time alone. They would rather go with one or two friends that would help them break the tension that could be around the place.
Having one or two other girls in the room apart from the main girl visiting would spoil the show for the men. Ladies can be sure nothing would happen then.
5. They avoid sitting on the bed
Many ladies avoid sitting on the bed when they visit men as they feel they are falling into a trap. The bed makes them more cautious and to avoid being tempted or lured into doing something they do not want to do at that moment, they would rather sit on the chair.
6. They receive calls at intervals
When ladies feel like they have stayed long enough in a place, they start to receive calls that would make the guys feel they need to be on their way. Some even become apologetic on the phone to make the guy feel they have to go somewhere immediately.
In some cases, girls put their friends up to this and make them call them at intervals just to prevent the guy from launching his S3@Xx:' idea on them.
7. They focus on something
Another thing ladies do when visiting guys in their houses is to concentrate on doing a particular thing. Some place all their attention on books while some watch movies and do not give the guys the time to want to get personal with them.
8. List of house chores
Ladies avoid having S3@Xx:' with men they visit by coming up with the excuse of leaving for their own house. Usually, the guy would try to persuade them and they would come up with the annoying list of things they need to do at home before their parents or guardians get back.
9. Stories that touch the heart
Sometimes, ladies cook up all sorts of stories that would make men pity them; they talk about how they have suffered one or two forms of abuse in their previous relationships. They act traumatized and this would naturally throw the men off balance.
It would after all be inappropriate for the guys to want to try anything funny after they have heard their heart touching tales.
10. They act edgy
Sometimes, ladies deliberately put up an edgy front when they visit men in their houses. They act uncomfortable and would be cold towards the guy till they leave. Men sense their defense and aloofness and would rather leave them alone till they adjust.
