Recorded in the fall of 2009, these programs (originally broadcast on the Sundance Network) are perhaps the greatest music and interview shows since David Sanborn's
"Night Music" on network TV in the 1990s.
When Elvis was approached to host "Spectacle," it struck him as an odd thing, because he is best known for getting kicked off American television (his infamous 1977 "Saturday Night Live" appearance--where he took the Sex Pistols' place on the show, hastily stopped a song and started a different number on live television--got him banned from "SNL" for the next 12 years) rather than excelling at it. But excel he does, because he's a terrific interviewer who has a certain structure in mind but doesn't over-rehearse the questions and goes with the flow following the answers, leaving room for some spontaneous and, well, spectacular results.
Whether kidding Ron Sexsmith about "the impeccable manners of the Canadians" or taking a good-natured hit from Bruce Springsteen (to paraphrase, Elvis asked Bruce, "Was I the one who called your ['70s] music 'overly romantic?' "--to which Bruce replies,"Of course it was you; I've been waiting thirty years for this [to reprimand you])," Costello is meant for this gig.
Best of all is the music, much of it recorded before a live audience at Harlem's Apollo
Theater, with New Orleans' Allen Toussaint, Levon Helm of the Band, John Prine, Neko Case, Richard Thompson's powerhouse "Shoot Out the Lights" and Jesse Winchester's touching and deceptively titled "Sham-a-Ling-Dong-Ding" (which brought big tears to Case, who was sitting next to him) among the highlights. Not to mention Sexsmith rescuing Costello's "Everyday I Write the Book" from an overly-poppy arrangement on record, and a bit of Bono singing "One Shot of Happy, Two Shots of Sad," which U2 wrote for Frank Sinatra, who didn't record it (but Nancy Sinatra did). Bono and the Edge told Elvis that when U2 began, they sounded as if they came out of nowhere, causing Van Morrison and Bob Dylan to challenge them, asking, "Where are your roots?"
Like the musicians (the core band plus guests) who were placed together on Sanborn's old "Night Music" TV show, "Spectacle, Season 2" creates some joyful collaborations that may not have happened otherwise. And Costello revisits some of his own songs, supported mightily by the Imposters (including keyboardist Steve Nieve and drummer Pete Thomas, who, as two-thirds of the Attractions, made Elvis' 1978-1982 recordings so special).
Elvis Costello has always been an astute music historian--the second time I saw him, he played songs ranging from Joe Stampley to Bobby Blue Bland and the O'Jays--and brings that kind of depth to his television work. It's a shame that there aren't concrete plans to do a third season--heaven knows that Executive Producer Elton John has the dough for it. Maybe Elvis is a bit busy with his own records and his twin sons these days. Good for him.

Due to covid-19 ('coronavirus') this service may be suspended.
Please check for details here on our Recycling and Waste homepage
We have had a number of staff who have had to self-isolate, due to the effect of Covid 19 ('coronavirus'). This is having an effect on operations today, however we are doing all we can to maintain operations across all of our collection services.
Please be aware that if you sign up to this service then it may be subject to some disruption.
It's very convenient to have garden waste collected from your property. It isn't a service which the Council is obliged to offer by law, and collections are not covered by Council Tax. We offer a fully-subscription service where all garden waste bins have to have a valid subscription in order to be emptied. Our service runs from January to December, and there is no winter break. We keep the cost as low as possible in order to help residents but make the service financially viable.
Collections are made every two weeks, on the same weekday but opposite week to your rubbish bin collection (that is, one week we empty recycling boxes and rubbish bins, and the next we empty recycling boxes and subscription garden waste bins). You can subscribe to the service at any point during the year, but the cost will remain the same. Collections are only made from wheelie bins with brown lids. When you subscribe we'll send you a pack with a sticker in, and we'll start collections as soon as we have your subscription and you have put your sticker on your garden waste bin.
If you don't have much garden waste, you could share a subscription with a neighbour. If you have space in your rubbish bin, you can also put garden waste in that. However, your bin lid must be fully closed on collection day.
The cost of a single bin is £36 in 2020. If you need extra bins their subscriptions will cost £30 each.
You can sign up for the 2020 garden waste service here using our online form.
This is a great way to turn your garden waste into something useful for your garden, and if you make your own bin, it costs nothing. Composting tips, seasonal information and clear, simple-to-follow advice and support are available at recyclenow.com
A new composting scheme has been launched for Staffordshire and Stoke, through the Staffordshire Recycling Partnership. The scheme allows residents to buy subsidised compost bins and equipment. If you are interested in purchasing a compost bin please visit: getcomposting.com
Household waste recycling centre (the tip at Leycett)
You can take garden waste to the centre at Leycett. It is run by Staffordshire County Council, not Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council. Details of opening hours and directions

Record and Edit Videos Like a Pro with Peek and Replay 360
Did you know your Articulate 360 subscription has everything you need to create videos? That's right—from the initial recording to making basic edits and gathering feedback to the final publishing of your video, Articulate 360 has you covered with Peek and Replay 360. These are two extremely handy, easy-to-use tools you can use in conjunction with each other to create simple and professional video tutorials.
Here's an example of a video that was recorded with Peek and then edited with Replay 360 to transform it into a step-by-step tutorial. The best part is, from start to finish, it was all done in just a few minutes, including the narration.
Video tutorial created with Peek and Replay 360
Let's take a look at how you can use Peek and Replay to create quick and simple videos like the one above.
Record Your Video with Peek
The first step is to create your screen recording. You have a few options for how to do this, since both Peek and Replay 360 have recording abilities. Personally, I like to use Peek for my recordings. Why? I love how the Peek recorder is easily launched directly from my taskbar, and how Peek videos are automatically uploaded to the Articulate 360 Review platform for me when I'm done recording. I also like how completed Peek recordings are converted to an .MP4 file (which are all stored in your MyDocuments/Peek folder). Here's a tip for quickly accessing the .MP4 version of your Peek videos: right-click on the video in question in Peek and choose "View in Folder" from the menu that appears.
Right-click on a Peek video and select "View in Folder"
to easily access the .MP4 version of the recording
I can also click "View on Articulate 360" from the menu to open up my Peek recording in Review. Once my Peek video is available in Review, I typically grab the Share link and send it off to my reviewers or Subject Matter Experts. This way, I can get approval from stakeholders that the video covers all the appropriate content before I start working on final touches.
Edit Your Video with Replay 360
Once you've created your Peek video, you can jazz up the .MP4 version with Replay 360 by adding images, subtitles (called "Lower Thirds"), and audio narration. To make edits to the .MP4 video you created with Peek, launch a new Replay 360 project and insert the Peek video.
Click the Video button to insert the .MP4 version of your
Peek video in a Replay project
You'll notice that your video is added to the A track in Replay 360 (there are two tracks: A and B).
The inserted Peek video has been added to the A track in
Replay 360 and is ready for editing
This is when it starts to get fun, when you can start making edits and tweaks. Here are a few things you might want to consider doing:
- Add an introduction photo and a wrap-up photo using the "Image" option
- Use "Lower Thirds" text to add an introduction and summary to your video
- Use "Lower Thirds" to add text captions to your video describing high-level steps or key information about what is happening in the video
- Use the Cut, Delete, and Split tools to edit your video; for example, to remove any unnecessary parts of the video.
- Remove original audio. If you included audio in your original Peek recording and you want to remove it to re-record the narration after you've made edits to your video, simply use the Silence tool to remove the original audio.
- Record narration using the Audio tool. You can either insert existing audio files, or you can record from your mic directly in Replay 360. The nice thing is that Replay will play your video while you're recording, so you can easily pace your timing so that it works with what's happening on-screen. Your audio file will be added to the B track.
These are a few things you can do to improve and refine your Peek and Replay videos. What can you do with the video once it's ready to be viewed by learners? Here are a few options …
Insert Video in Rise or Storyline Courses
Once you've got this great video, you're going to want to share it with learners. Ways to share your videos include:
- Publishing and uploading your final, edited Replay video directly to Articulate 360 Review from within Replay. You can then grab the Share link and share your video with learners. You can choose to have the comments enabled or disabled on your video.
- Inserting the content in Rise as a video lesson, or as a video block inside a Blocks lesson.
- Inserting the video in a Storyline course. Storyline gives you the power to make the video as interactive as you want. For example, you could add trigger points to pause the video at key points and bring up a pop-up layer with information or a quiz question. The sky's the limit with Storyline!
These are just a few tips for how you can use the tools available in your Articulate 360 subscription to create quick and easy videos. Have you created videos of your own with Peek or Replay 360? I'd love to hear about your experiences, tips, or tricks in the comments below.
Want to try something you learned here, but don't have Articulate 360? Start a free 60-day trial, and come back to E-Learning Heroes regularly for more helpful advice on everything related to e-learning. If you have any questions, please share them in the comments.

The manatee, often called the sea cow, is the only exclusively herbivorous marine mammal. It grazes on all kinds of aquatic plants, especially marine sea grasses, assisted by its large prehensile lips, which are studded with bristles.
During the day, it is frequently found close to the surface, sleeping within the top three to ten feet (1 to 3 m). Occasionally it swims down to thirty feet (10 m), propelling itself along with the aid of its large flat tail, which it also uses as a rudder.
When feeding, which it usually does at night, it walks along the bottom using its fore limbs.
It is restricted to tropical and subtropical waters because it has an unusually low metabolic rate for a large mammal and rapidly loses body heat to the surrounding water.
Because it was overhunted in the past and — despite its current protected status — continues to be caught in fishing gear and hit by speed boats, the West Indian manatee is endangered.
Animal Facts
Name: West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus)
Family: Trichechidae (Manatees)
Range: Florida to northeastern Brazil, including islands
Habitat: Rivers, estuaries, and coastal waters
Diet: Seagrass and other aquatic plants
Total Length: 8 to 13 feet (2.4 to 4 m)
Weight: 440 to 1,300 pounds (200 to 600 kg)
Life Cycle: Mating year-round; gestation 385 to 400 days, one (sometimes two) calves born
Description: Gray to gray-brown skin; small eyes; whiskered snout; absence of external ear flaps; two large flippers; flat, paddle-like tail
Conservation Status: Vulnerable
Major Threat: Human interference
What Can I Do?: Visit the Save the Manatee Club for information on how you can help.

In true Texas justice form, the sheriff at the center of last week's Fiona Apple drug arrest for possession of marijuana and hash isn't stepping down from Apple's onstage speech accusing the policemen who arrested her of "inappropriate and probably illegal" behavior.
Following last week's arrest details, Rusty Fleming, Public Information Officer of Hudspeth County Sheriff's Office and presumable Walker, Texas Ranger fan, released a statement suggesting Apple contact the proper Texas authorities if she feels she has been treated inappropriately, but went on to call out Apple on her behavior.
"Honey, I'm already more famous than you, I don't need your help," Fleming said, responding to Apple's assertion that "I'll make you f--king famous any time you ask." "However, it would appear that you need mine. Two weeks ago nobody in the country cared about what you had to say. Now that you've been arrested it appears your entire career has been jump-started. Don't worry Sweetie, I won't bill you."
The man who once directed a movie called Drug Wars: Silver or Lead called out Apple for bringing drugs to Texas. "Have you ever heard of Snoop, Willie or Armie Hammer?," asked Fleming. "Maybe if you would read something besides your own press releases, you would have known before you got here, that if you come to Texas with dope, the cops will take your dope away and put you in jail."
Fleming concluded his blunt statement with a less-than-amicable suggestion. "Even though you and I only met briefly in the hallway, I don't know you but I'm sure you're an awesome and talented young woman and even though I'm not a fan of yours, I am sure there are thousands of them out there, and I'm sure that they would just as soon you get this all behind you and let you go back to what you do best. So my last piece of advice is simple: 'Just shut up and sing.'"
We're not sure if Fleming was making a reference to the Dixie Chicks' film Shut Up and Sing, the story about the Texan female country group's vocal opposition to George W. Bush, but at least this could provide Fiona with plenty of fodder for her next album, presumably set for release in 2345.

The National Intellectual Council states that the compilation of question papers intended for the Law Entrance Examination in all 3 languages may pave the way for conflicting issues.
Chairman of the NIC Bandula Chandrasekara addressing a media briefing held in Colombo today noted that this may create an issue similar to the 2011 Z score issue.
When inquired from the Principal of the Colombo Law College Professor W.D. Rodrigo in this regard he noted that it was unfair for various parties to draw conclusions regarding the proposed revisions to the curricula of the Law Entrance Examination in advance.

I'm a programmer who's working on good music for games, namely a 3D FPS which I am plotting out. However, ever person needs sound, and since I am a 'One man army', I need to do everything. I can create 3D models and animate them in blender, as well as make animated cut scenes. I can do programming with OGRE and OPE, so I figure that learning Psycle isn't impossible.
I am slowly learning the software, but was wondering if anyone could tell me a bunch of things that I could possibly need for doing so. If it is neccessary, I am using Windows Vista on a laptop with 2 Gigs of RAM and 200 GB HDD, with a 800MB graphics card. Internet speed (dial-up) is limited since I live in a rural place, but if I have to, I can go roaming for someone else's (don't like hotspots, they lag too much).
Anyone that can help is thanked, and will appear in game credits (small scale game that I may or may not be able to finish, but that's not the point).
Thanks again, OMEGA.
Could you be more explicit about the things you don't know how to do ?
It'll be easier to help you...
You will probably want some drum samples...

Vitamin O
Non-member price: $28.94
Editorial Reviews
Dr. Natasha Janina Valdez approaches the female orgasm with a can-do attitude. Discarding shame, embarrassment and self-consciousness, Valdez straightforwardly describes orgasms as a wonderful privilege that offers significant health benefits. Valdez goes on to provide comprehensive practical advice on how to achieve orgasms. Valdez describes in acute physical detail techniques for climaxing alone and in company. Her friendly tone keeps her audience receptive and undaunted. Valdez is on a mission to enrich the lives of women by normalizing orgasms to the point of routine. Amanda Carlin cheerfully narrates this fun and helpful guide to the female orgasm. The tasteful but frank language here makes for fun listening.
Publisher's Summary
They're free, fun, and with this book, easy to achieve. And just look what a woman stands to gain from her orgasmic life: Oxytocin - nature's Ecstasy - in her bloodstream, relaxation - less stress and tension, falling asleep and staying asleep better, more supple skin (really!), lower risk of heart disease, immunity boost, reduced hunger and cravings for junk food. Far too many women aren't enjoying the benefits of this delicious activity, and Dr. Natasha wants to change that. In Vitamin O, she explores manual techniques, oral methods, and crazy-fun sex positions that maximize a woman's pleasure. She covers the basics in orgasmic foreplay, orgasmic positions, exercises to improve orgasms, orgasm-enhancing yoga, breathing techniques, and more. She also offers up the 411 on more advanced climaxing - multiples and simultaneous orgasms. And she breaks out lots of quick fixes for getting a daily dose without any fuss. By the time she's through, having orgasms will become as natural and pleasantly habitual as drinking a morning coffee (which you'll be drinking less and less of, as you'll have increased energy from better sleep and less cravings for caffeine!). Vitamin O's benefits are layered and far - reaching, without any worry of toxicity or build-up because Vitamin O is all about release. Regular doses will benefit every listener for life.

This ones for beginners.
The information in this book is very useful if you haven't already educated yourself about sex. It claims to be about orgasms but I would say that it is more about sex in general. There
are a lot
of common sense fixes for simple problems. It teaches things like the value of communication and foreplay or the importance of lubricant and hygiene. The more specific topics of orgasm are only touched upon. If you're looking for pelvic floor health, anxiety, focus exercises, or interesting scientific facts then keep looking.

Mountain Hiking in TiomanFrom scuba-diving dozens of meters below the surface of a turquoise sea to over 1000 meters up, your head literally in the clouds. Explore Tioman's Mystery Mountain, Gunung Kajang. Towering over 1038 meters high, the often cloud-shrouded and extinct volcano Gunung Kajang is not only Tioman's highest mountain, but it's also the highest mountain of any island off Peninsular Malaysia's coast.
Read the personal experiences of one of our climbers, Zul, who conquered Gunung Kajang's summit with his band of brothers earlier this year.
The Gunung Kajang mountain is so remote and inaccessible that it can be regarded as the mountain where time stood still, a throwback to hundreds, perhaps thousands of years ago; an untamed, as yet mostly unseen patch of the world, where to this day discoveries are waiting to be made. The mountain is so untraveled, indeed unexplored, that there most of its sectors have no tracks at all.
Gunung Kajang, also known as Palm Frond Mountain has been used as a navigational aid by seafarers for centuries and is mentioned in early Arab and Chinese sailing charts. Biologists have been fascinated by Gunung Kajang for decades. The reason is the evolutionary isolation of the island, as well as its volcanic past, and in particular the effect its violent geological history has had on Tioman's native flora and fauna - the Darwinian Galapagos effect.
Many species of plants and animals on Tioman have become marked off-shoots from their cousins on the mainland. They've become distinct species altogether, now only found on this primary rainforest-covered mountain and nowhere else in the world.
Other highly elusive animals you may catch a glimpse of when scaling the mountain, that is, if you're quiet, patient and lucky enough, are Colugos, a primitive tree-dwelling mammal that can glide up to 100 meters, as well as porcupines and even a nocturnal species of rare mouse deer. Sporadic observations of wolverines have been documented too.
In fact, over the years there have been enough persistent sightings by members of the local Tioman population of larger predator-like animals to at least suspect the existence on the mountain of one or more as yet unknown species of carnivores.
In addition, Gunung Kajang is also said to be home to the one-of-a-kind Rafflesia flower, noted for producing the largest individual flower on earth and officially recognized by the global Botany community as a "rare flower".
All in all, it's safe to say that this dense emerald mountain is a true ecotourism paradise.

This first challenge was done by Waleska. We were supposed to create a LO using this ad below as our inspiration! I thought the ad was awesome and great for use as a sketch. Below it is my interpretation of the ad. It's called So Much Energy. And some close ups follow.
This next challenge is the TG Lift Challenge! I have never done a lift before so I was anxious to do this! I did mine from Holly Hanks These Are The Days You'll Remember LO from the April 2008 gallery. This first pic is Holly's, the last two are mine.
This challenge was done by Holly Hanks. It is a mini album that she designed the template for! It is so easy and so so much fun!! Here is the link to the class! Do it You'll love it! I had such a great time doing this album and have so many ideas for more. I know I am going to be doing some more of these real soon. Holly's version has ten pages and she told us all that we did not have to have that many, depending on how many pictures we wanted to use. It just so happens though that my daughter just turned 10 months! I thought it would be the perfect subject for a little brag book! And it worked out wonderfully! I absolutely love it! Give it a try you will too!~
This one was a "scrap your stash" challenge! Goodness knows I needed to do this one because my scraps of paper container was seriously overflowing! I took some pics of it before I started to do this LO so that I could show you but I think I will go ahead and spare you that. I used so many little bits of paper here and there that it is such a hodge podge of mess that I didn't think it would look that good. But I am actually pleased with how well it turned out. Now I have to mention that everything except the pic and the thickers came out of my scrap boxes! I was so proud of myself for that hehe. Even the backing that everything is on came from a stack of 12 x 12 cardstock that I used up last week! I had lots of fun doing this one because it took no planning whatsoever, just placing and pasteing! Great challenge and if I could do more "scrap your stash" challenges this way, I would in a heart beat! This layout is called Off She Goes. You can not tell there is a She in there because it blends in with the picture (Doh!) buuut it is there.
That's all for now! I will hopefully be back later when Creedence is sleeping to give you the LO I gave sneaks of a few days ago! Take care ~Amy~

The photos below were taken by me and show the PROVIDENCE at Naval Base Toulon, France, in late September 2015. At the time, the PROVIDENCE was in the final days of a six-month Middle East deployment. On September 12, 2015, the submarine transited the Suez Canal re-entering the Mediterranean. After participating in Exercise Dynamic Manta in the Ionian Sea, the PROVIDENCE arrived at Toulon. The first photos below show the pretty worn PROVIDENCE on September 23. Note the missing coating on the rudder. The last three photos were taken three days later on September 26 and show the repainted submarine. USS PROVIDENCE returned home to Groton on October 9, 2015.

Today was our last day with the discipleship group in Antanamazava, so we finally got some group photos! It was a really nice time today but also bittersweet. After our regular time of sharing a Bible story and discussing it, we had time to lay our hands on each member of the group and to pray for them personally. Afterwards they prayed for us.
They told us that since we've begun to meet regularly with them in their village, that God has really transformed their lives and empowered them to seek him personally. They also said they'll really miss us and asked if there's some way we could contact them in the future, but unfortunately still none of them have cell phones. But we'll definitely stay in touch through Nuckiline, who will be continuing the work in our absence.
Nuckiline is also committed to training some of the group members to take a stronger leadership role just like hers and to find ways to be more personally involved in their lives and thus disciple them at a deeper level as well. Earlier this morning when we prayed together with Nuckiline, she prayed that there would be an opportunity in the future for us to pass by again, or even just to call her on the phone, and that she'd have the privilege of sharing with us the news of so much fruitfulness that God has done through her and the people of Antanamazava. Please join us in prayer for this to come true one day! And please pray that God would continue to strengthen and encourage Nuckiline, that she would grow stronger, more passionate, and more committed to this work even in our absence than she has in our presence. And pray that God would give her wisdom and insight for any new efforts (in the Ambilobe area or in other places) that she should begin in the future.
Jean-Luc (on the far right - the man who's been driving us to and from the village for several months now) is going to visit his family this weekend in Nosy Be, and he's very excited to gather all of them together and share with them all of the Bible stories that he's been learning in our discipleship group for months now. We made sure to provide him with a full copy of our Antakarana story set before he left.
We plan to share a fuller update soon with more details on the transition time ahead of us. But for now we can say that our leaving is definitely God's leading and we're excited to see what lies ahead! ... See MoreSee Less

We were able to go back to Antanamazava today after being away for several weeks! We had a good time with the group there, though several regular members of our discipleship group had traveled to another village for a local meeting.
One thing that was very exciting was hearing how a couple of the group members have already begun leading others in discipleship group meetings on their own over the last month! This is a huge answer to prayer and the sort of "reproduction" (that can lead to multiplication) that we've been hoping to see for a very long time now! It was funny because these two ladies were very nonchalant about it, like of course they were leading others in discipleship groups (the same kind we've been modeling for them), since it's simple and effective for helping them know God better and draw closer in relationship with him. They took it as a matter of fact that they could and should be doing that. So we then encouraged them to encourage those in their new group that they can also start sharing with others and leading others in discipleship groups as well. We hope and pray that God will bring multiplication through these new and faithful disciples of his in Antanamazava! Thank you to all of you who've also been praying for this with us for many months now!
Also, one of the ladies was able to share a praise report that her home life has become very peaceful now. Another lady in the group wanted to clarify that before they've always been fighting constantly and struggling very significantly in their home. But after praying together in our last meeting together, and after being convicted to work on that area of her life based on the last Bible story we shared, she said that since then they've smoothed things out and she's now had a very peaceful home life thanks to God's help. It was exciting to hear that!
We also discussed with the group some of the things that's happened in our life recently, and told them it's possible that Lora and I will be moving somewhere else very soon. They were all very sad about that possibility, but we pledged to be together with them at least one more time, next week. Nuckiline also pledged to continue to visit them regularly and to continue the work with them going forward.
It's been so exciting to see what God has done through this small group of faithful disciples over the last five months or so. He's answered many of our prayers in regards to them! And though God seems to have reduced our own direct involvement significantly, nonetheless, I believe he's been happy to use us as a catalyst to begin what we trust will be a very fruitful group of disciples that will multiply the work even further and reach more people than we ever could.
This picture is from near sunset time on the main bridge over the Mahavavy River on the way back to Ambilobe this evening. There was a nice (though short-lived) rainbow, and people went about their normal business washing clothes and bathing in the river. ... See MoreSee Less
Great news, glad the spirit is working in the lives of those you have been discipling and they are listening.

Sorry about the silence we've had here for a few weeks! We were away from town for one week, and upon returning we were immediately in a safety/security crisis for our living situation here, that has targeted our family. All week we've been dealing with it, talking to the relevant people, praying, trying to get to the bottom of it and figuring out what decision to make about what will happen.
So far God has not resolved the threat to our family and we believe he's not asking us to stay in this place and endure that threat. There are also no other local means or authority that can reliably remove those making this threat in a way that is peaceful and righteous. So, we need to leave our house here in a very short time period.
We have no idea where we will go next nor what the future holds for us in this area nor regarding our direct involvement in the ministry here. The thing Jesus has been most clear with us about during this time is that no matter the outcome and no matter where we go from here, he is with us and we are with him. God has made it clear to us that this is his burden to bear, it's his work to continue and to bring to completion.
So, we will spend the next couple of weeks praying and seeking God for direction, and looking for another place to go, whether here in this same area or elsewhere. Please pray with us, for our family's continued safety, and for God to give us clarity about the next steps, so we can make the necessary decisions with boldness and confidence. We thank God that he's already filled us with peace about what's to come! Once we've arrived at any decisions we'll let you all know here. ... See MoreSee Less
Sorry to read that you are in a threatening situation. Praying for safety and protection! That God will lead you to a safe place quickly 🙏🏻
Praying for your family, for safety, clear direction, and continued peace. 🙏 Praise God that He is always there, He is in perfect control, He knows what He is doing, and the outcome will be for His glory!!
We have been praying for you through this whole time. What a trial you are going through. I am so thankful you have a peace about how God is in control and the ministry and situation is His burden to bear. Not only are we praying for you, but we are praying for this family who is clearly bound. Praying that the Light shines through you to penetrate their hearts. No matter what, though, God has a good and perfect plan through it all. We love you guys and pray for you! And, we certainly miss you!
Praying for direction!!!
Praying God gives you a clear path. Proverbs 3:5-6

We just heard today that one of the teachers at the public school in Antanamazava died in her sleep last night. We don't have any other details, but we're sure that it's a distress on the community there, so please keep them in your prayers, that God would give them peace and draw their hearts to him.
We've also learned that for the time being, no more local transport is being allowed during the afternoon hours. Unfortunately, that's during the time of our discipleship group in Antanamazava, so we won't be able to continue it (with our presence) for the time being, as we rely on local transport to get to and from there. It's not clear if this is a covid-19 restriction or something else. But we thank God that we've had a few weeks to encourage the group there now and also times for them to become used to the idea of continuing in our absence. So we pray that they will be bold and empowered in the Holy Spirit to continue discipling one another with what they've received so far, and that this would also be a catalyst for them to start new discipleship groups in their community and beyond!
Please also pray generally for Ambilobe and the surrounding regions regarding covid-19. There are a lot of rumors going around and it's hard to know what is true, but we've been the second hardest-hit in our region so far, including at least a few cases in surrounding villages. Rumors are that they've run out of coronavirus tests here and yet many people are still sick. Please pray that people would take appropriate precautions, and that God would pour out supernatural grace to protect the vulnerable people here. ... See MoreSee Less
Prayers for the area and for y'all.
Whether or not we can reschedule our discipleship group time to the morning hours (if the people will be available at that time) is something we'll need to look into further.

Our discipleship group in Antanamazava went well this afternoon! We covered the story of Jesus casting out the demons known as "Legion". Though we didn't have as many people as usual at the group today, those who were there really participated well. Everyone had an opportunity to lead the group in prayer, and shared well about what they learned from the story.
The way we translated this story into the local language, we used the word for the most common type of spirit possession here - "tromba". (They actually have different words for multiple types of spirit possession, because being possessed by various very bothersome or even extremely malevolent spirits is a very common practice among the Antakarana.) Everyone is familiar with someone they know (usually many people) who've been possessed by one (or more) of these types of spirits. So they were all very interested to hear a story about Jesus's response to them.
Most were just amazed about how the spirits automatically left when Jesus told them to. They were also impressed how it was very simple and didn't require any elaborate ritual. They also remarked about how completely the man was changed after the spirits left him, and how the transformation that Jesus makes in people's lives is obvious to those around them. One lady in particular said she's going to tell this story to all sorts of people, so that it can also sink deeper into her own heart and God can continue to work in her through it. Another lady said she wants to tell more people about the good things God has done in her life, just like how Jesus instructed the man freed from the demons.
Afterwards, we saw a couple of the regulars who weren't there at the meeting. We had left a copy of this story with them while we were gone the last few weeks... so they could look at it and prepare ahead of time if they wanted. They already knew the story by heart and retold it right then and there in front of a group of several other people! It's exciting to see how much this group of disciples treasures the stories they've received so far, and how they go back over them constantly to commit them to memory.
We won't be there next week as it's a time the community is very busy preparing for their children's school exams. We encouraged them that when they have even just a bit of free time they can go ahead and meet with each other (some or all of them) to pray for each other, retell the story to each other, and encourage one another. We also encouraged them that for anyone who's interested, they can gather them in their own groups and lead them through discipleship meetings just like we've been doing for them. What encouraged us about that is that this time no one acted too shy at all about this idea or like they wouldn't have the skills or social position to do this or anything like that. We believe the Holy Spirit is really empowering them and showing them how he values them, and how he has a place for them in his work!
Please pray that leaders would emerge from this group, those who are bold to share with many others and who start to disciple others as well. Pray that they would begin to form as a true church of committed believers. Pray for us to know how best to encourage and train them in these areas, and to know who specifically we should focus any extra time or effort on (if anyone).
I was also able to share quite a few chili peppers from my garden (some habanero, some ghost chilis, and another type that I think is pepperocini) because I've been harvesting far more than I can use. Everyone was also very happy to divvy those up between them! ... See MoreSee Less

- Miami Masters
Nadal and Wawrinka cruise into last 16
Rafael Nadal was handed a warning for slow play during his 59-minute demolition of Denis Istomin at the Sony Open.
The world No. 1, who has been criticised for taking too long between points by Roger Federer and Dmitry Tursunov already in 2014, brushed off the incident as he wrapped up a 6-0 6-1 victory to reach the fourth round in Miami.
"I played a very complete match," said Nadal, who has never won at Crandon Park. "No match is perfect but I did a lot of things very well. No mistakes, serving with good percentage, and playing a lot of winners.
Dimitrov comes to ball girl's aid
- Grigor Dimitrov may have lost to Kei Nishikori 7-6(1) 7-5 but earned the praise of the Miami crowd after helping a ball girl suffering in the heat. Realising the ball girl was disoriented after asking for his towel, Dimitrov helped her from the court to lie down on a bench before resuming play. He did not receive a time violation.
"My movements were better than what I did last event events. That's a very important thing for me."
Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka, who has admitted to suffering a post-grand-slam victory hangover, beat Edouard Roger-Vasselin 7-5 6-4 to book his spot in the fourth round.
"Just doing my job. Simple," Wawrinka said. "My job is to play tennis, try to play the best possible, and to do that I have to practice well.
"People are expecting more from me but from myself it's the same. The pressure is same. I always put a lot of pressure on myself and always want to win matches and play well."
Wawrinka will next face 22nd seed Alexandr Dolgopolov, who recovered from a set down to beat Dusan Lajovic 3-6 6-0 7-6(5).
Dolgopolov, who reached the semi-finals in Indian Wells, admitted he remains worried about unrest in his native Ukraine, where his mother and other relatives still live.
"For me it was important it has calmed down and no people are dying," said Dolgopolov, who was born in Kiev. "But there's a little bit of chaos still going on, and no one knows who is the ruling party and who is controlling the country. It's a mess."
Earlier in the day, 12th seed Milos Raonic needed just 56 minutes to see off Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 6-1 6-2. Benjamin Becker is also through after beating a spirited Aljaz Bedene 6-3 7-5.

Q: What is the best Christmas present in the world?
A: A broken drum, you can't beat it!
Many Years BC
The story is told of a lady who was rather old-fashioned, always quite delicate and elegant, especially in her language. She and her husband were planning a week's vacation in Florida, so she wrote to a particular campground asking for a reservation.
She wanted to make sure the campground was fully equipped, but didn't quite know how to ask about the toilet facilities. She just couldn't bring herself to write the word "toilet" in her letter. After much deliberation, she finally came up with the old-fashioned term BATHROOM COMMODE. But when she wrote that down, she still thought she was being too forward. So she started all over again and rewrote the entire letter referring to the bathroom commode merely as the BC. "Does the campground have it's own BC?" is what she actually wrote.
Well, the campground owner wasn't old-fashioned at all, and when he got the letter, he just couldn't figure out what the woman was talking about. That BC business really stumped him.
After worrying about it for awhile, he showed the letter to several campers, but they couldn't imagine what the lady meant either. So the campground owner, finally coming to the conclusion that the lady must be asking about he local Baptist Church, sat down and wrote the following reply:
Dear Madam: I regret very much the delay in answering your letter, but I now take pleasure in informing you that a BC is located nine miles north of the campground and is capable of seating 250 people at one time. I admit it is quite a distance away, if you are in the habit of going regularly, but no doubt you will be pleased to know that a great number of people take their lunches along and make a day of it. They usually arrive early and stay late. It is such a beautiful facility and the acoustics are marvelous. Even the normal delivery sounds can be heard.
The last time my wife and I went was six years ago, and it was so crowded we had to stand up the whole time we were there. It may interest you to know that right now a supper is planned to raise money to buy more seats. They are going to hold it in the basement of the BC.
I would like to say it pains me very much not to be able to go more regularly, but it surely is no lack of desire on my part. As we grow old, it seems to be more of an effort, particularly in cold weather.
If you do decide to come down to our campground, perhaps I could go with you the first time you go, sit with you, and introduce you to all the other folks.
Remember, this is a friendly community.
Sincerely, Campground Owner
Glow In The Dark
A little boy was afraid of the dark. One night his mother told him to go out to the back porch and bring her the broom. The little boy turned to his mother and said, "Mama, I don't want to go out there. It's dark."
The mother smiled reassuringly at her son. "You don't have to be afraid of the dark," she explained. "Jesus is out there. He'll look after you and protect you."
The little boy looked at his mother real hard and asked, "Are you sure he's out there?" "Yes, I 'm sure. He is everywhere, and he is always ready to help you when you need him," she said.
The little boy thought about that for a minute and then went to the back door and cracked it a little. Peering out into the darkness, he called, "Jesus? If you're out there, would you please hand me the broom?

I don't suffer from insanity — I enjoy every minute of it!
I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.
Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.

The Crack Pot
A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole that he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot said.
The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers on your side of the path but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. Every day while we walk back, you've watered them. For two years, I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."

Written by Donna Mitchell for The Life
"But He gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble."– JAMES 4:6
"But He gives us more grace." Pause and ponder that truth when your heart is fighting Him.
James then outlines how to get the grace we need from God. He says, "That is why Scripture says: 'God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble'" The proud don't think they need grace. Pride has earned its rights. Pride deserves. James reminds us that God resists the proud but He shows favor to the humble. The humble admit need. The humble agree with God that He is right and they are in need of grace.
In verse 7, James follows with "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and He will come near to you…." So, humble your heart and admit your need.O Lord, thank you that no matter my need, you give more grace. I humble myself before you and admit I need you…. I submit myself to you today and draw near to you. Thank you for your incredible grace. Amen.
Go Deeper — Examine the posture of your heart today. Would the Lord see your heart as proud and resistant, or as humble and submissive? Draw near to the Lord and thank Him for His immeasurable grace, admitting you need it.

However, after receiving my X last Thursday, i slid the Cubby Compartment into place--only to be surprised, and disappointed, that the lower left corner does not fit snugly or correctly. I sent an email requesting a refund.

My apologies ! Thanks to Liz, it was brought to my attention that the number of med/dark 4 1/4″ squares need for this pattern was posted incorrectly. So if you all were figuring you must have miscounted or something, the problem was not yours but totally mine. You need a total of 150 -4 1/4″ med/dark squares instead of 128. So if you haven't been there yet,……..back to the scrap bin for 22 more. I truly apologise. I do try very hard to get all my instructions correct but I guess I goofed up this time. Hopefully this will get us all back on track and I hope I haven't messed you up too much. Just for your info, if you have completed this clue, you should not need to find any more from the scrap bin. You should be all caught up. The remaining numbers should be ok………golly, I hope! Again, my apologies !

I think that designer Jeanne Lanvin is often overlooked compared to such contemporaries as Christian Dior and Coco Chanel. The first Paris exhibit at the Palais Galliera musée de la mode that is on until August 23, 2015 will go a long way to rectifying this oversight. Over 100 models from the oldest couture house in Paris that is still in business will show what the designer achieved.
Like Chanel, Lanvin started her career as a milliner. Inspired by her own daughter, Marguerite, she then expanded into children's wear and clothing for young women before launching into haute couture. The Lanvin realm continued to expand into bridal wear, lingerie, furs, interior décor, sportswear, and men's wear. The entrepreneur then expanded into markets other than Paris, including resort towns both within France and as far away as Buenos-Aires.
Lanvin became known for her use of her favorite intense blue, as inspired by 14th century fresco painter Fra Angelico. Her famous perfume, Arpège, was a gift for Marguerite's thirtieth birthday. The highly personal logo features Lanvin and her daughter. Beading, embroidery, and cutouts all characterized her meticulous craftsmanship.
In 2002, former president George W. Bush famously said, "The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur." Of course, the snicker went around the world, because the French word has roots back to the 16th century. It comes from entreprendre (ohn-truh-pren-druh), to undertake. If Lanvin doesn't represent entrepreneurship, I don't know who does!

(Episode: "Skull and Double Crossbones")
Synopsis: The Quests are back on their home turf—the surf. What should be enviable underwater fun and education is ruined when Jonny finds a treasure and Team Quest is set upon by some very lazy pirates. Also, Bandit learns to dive.
(OOC Author Note: Even before my time got compromised late last year, I struggled with this one because it's everything I ever wanted out of a Jonny Quest episode as a kid: sea creatures, showy-but-plausible science, and a swashbuckling plot. That makes it a little bland for Benton Quest Field Guide purposes, so I think I'm just going to wrap it up today.)
When your life is on the line, even from the laziest of sources, and you need to summon help…
Tip 55: Sometimes the weird thing to do is the right thing to do.
Next time: I'm letting someone else decide Friday's movie, so it'll either be really silly or the Hammer (film) will drop…which doesn't actually preclude the silly.
Next time on TQfM!: "The Dreadful Doll" looks like the TV equivalent of movie voodoo, only in the Questverse. This has the potential to be excruciating. I can't wait.

While waving goodbye to summer and the month-long Project Space Festival, we are already getting excited about the upcoming Berlin Art Week, abc fair, and all of the linked projects and events happening in September. Between the two major milestones, keep yourself entertained with various art openings and gatherings - now is the best time to catch up with everything and everyone you missed in the summer months. Single or not, get ready to mingle!
18.00 Media Ambages @ HilbertRaum
WHY: "Media Ambages" headlines a manifesto about photography and moving image. The show explores how this intangible medium, not at all a clean window opening onto a clearly definable reality, instead becomes, for the viewers' private kinos in their minds, a projection surface creating 'realities' - the witnesses' very own stories out of thin pixel and paper.
HilbertRaum / Reuterstr. 31, 12047 Berlin, U Hermannplatz / open through 06.09 / free entry / more info
19.00 Appropriating Language Series #9: The Invisible Rhythm of Change @ Manière Noire
WHY: In her exhibition at Manière Noire, Emmanuelle Castellan presents new works which begin in her studio and could be finished in the gallery space. The exhibition will be an open process of improvisation, where indetermination and freedom become keywords in the context of the show. Castellan experiments with the potential of the poetical expression. Painting for her is a living language, the dynamics of which is attained by persistent play between speech and silence.
Manière Noire / Waldenserstraße 7A, 10551 Berlin, U Turmstr. / open through 13.09 / free entry / more info
16.00 Paul Kneale - "Abjects - In Infinite Loop" @ Import Projects
WHY: Initiating the upcoming group show "Abjects" at Import Projects, Paul Kneale will be outsourcing a series of "Open Source" performances. Anticipating their absorption into the infinite feedback loop of artworks both online and off, the artist creates these works as a set of instructions that intervene into existing structures. With Kneale making them free to be staged in his name, his performances are to be conducted by the audience in the gallery.
Import Projects / Keithstrasse 10, 10787 Berlin, U Wittenbergplatz / free entry / more info
19.00 Guy Tillim - "Points of View" @ Kuckei + Kuckei
WHY: For his exhibition "Points of View", Guy Tillim returns to the city of Johannesburg which he last photographed a decade ago. At that time, Johannesburg offered a provocation to Tillim's understanding of documentary photography and debates around representing a politically contested landscape. More recently, the artist has been increasingly interested in notions of judgment and control around image-making. His critical view now also expands from Johannesburg to the Addis Ababa.
Kuckei + Kuckei / Linienstraße 158, 10115 Berlin, U Rosenthaler Platz / open through 10.10 / free entry / more info
19.00 Project Space Festival Berlin: Final Gathering @ Der Hof
WHY: For enthusiastic fans as well as for those who have just returned from holidays, the Final Gathering offers the chance to get together one more time and celebrate the entire month-long Project Space Festival from beginning to end, accompanied by good music and cool drinks.
Der Hof / Skalitzer Str. 114, 10999 Berlin, U Kottbusser Tor / free entry / more info
18.30 "Fritz, I Like The Way You Grasp The Situations By Its Balls." Interventions by Fritz Balthaus @ Akademie der Künste
WHY: For Akademie der Künste, Fritz Balthaus developed 13 interventions in the public spaces and gardens of the building on Hanseatenweg, called "Spartentische", or "Discipline Tables". These site-specific "Spartentische" test the generally asserted 'freedom of art', and are in friction with the house rules of art, and the house rules of the Akademie der Künste itself. The artist drills where he stands, and sees the conflict lines as gold veins, and the exhibition as the result of prospecting.
Akademie der Künste / Pariser Platz 4, 10117 Berlin, U Französische Str. / open through 25.10 / free entry / more info
19.00 "We Will Forget Soon" - A Travelling Exhibition On The Trail Of The Soviet Army @ MEINBLAU project space
WHY: For more than 40 years the Soviet Red Army was stationed in the former GDR and for a short while also in the Eastern parts of Germany after the Wall was torn down. This part of German history does not belong to the official commemorative culture, and it is becoming more and more difficult to identify these historical fragments. The Italian photographers Stefano Corso and Dario-Jacopo Laganà started out on a photographical search for traces of its remains.
MEINBLAU project space / Christinenstrasse 18-19, 10119 Berlin, U Senefelderplatz / open through 20.09 / free entry / more info
19.00 Lerato Shadi - "Seriti Se" @ Galerie Wedding
WHY: "Seriti se" is a work by Lerato Shadi that looks at the politics of historical erasure, specifically of Black (POC) females and their achievement and contributions within various fields. The performance deals with absence and presence, subject and object, and their transformation through the performative body. "Seriti se" thematises violence inn-acted within institutional structures.
Galerie Wedding / Müllerstrasse 146-147, 13347 Berlin, U Leopoldplatz / open through 10.09 / free entry / more info
19.00 Porn to Pizza - Domestic Clichés @ DAM Gallery
WHY: The exhibition "Porn to Pizza — Domestic Clichés" presents varied ways of artistic production in the age of the Internet, dealing with its features and its impact on every day culture. Here, domesticity is a very pervasive topic, because it reveals how private daily life has changed with the Internet, and how the conflict of the real vs. virtual invades our personal comfort zones.
DAM Gallery / Neue Jakobstraße 6, 10179 Berlin, U Heinrich-Heine-Str. / open through 24.10 / free entry / more info
19.00 Speisekino #18 Psychosociotronics: A Therapeutic Prelude to transmediale 2016 @ ZK/U Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik
WHY: A therapeutic prelude to the next year's transmediale festival asks: what makes you anxious to act, to share, or to secure? Speisekino is an evening of eating and conversing that features a number of surprise guests who have each chosen film clips to serve as conversation starters for the audience. Through short thought-provoking film clips, they will incite you to talk about the main anxieties that underpin your relationship to digital culture.
ZK/U Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik / Siemensstrasse 27, 10551 Berlin, U Birkenstr. / more info

Indian parents have been long obsessed with this career stream and yes no marks for guess that right… its medical offcourse. Though, times are changing, but the attraction for medicine hasn't faded as yet with parents only because of the surefire career that it is. But, over the years there are a lot of choices that are available around the medicine field apart from MBBS. So, students who aren't able to crack the NEET can try to opt for some related courses that include BDS, Physiotherapy, Phsychiatry, Pharmacy and more. So, as per your area of interest you may choose a course. One major advantage of NEET being brought into effect is that intelligent students coming from lower income groups can try to get entry into medical without paying hefty donations to colleges.
In case you opt for MBBS, a masters is always a good idea considering future growth. You could either opt for a MD or MS. Though being a surgeon isnt a cake walk and invovles daily encounters with patients fighting for their lives. Its a great responshibility to shoulder and a time costing too.
As a surgeon or a masters degree holder you need to be available to your patients anytime. It could be in the wee hours of the night as well. So, its quite a stressful and hectic work schedule that you'll have to manage. But, the perks include immense work satisfaction with successful medical procedures and blessing from families. If surgery is not your cup of tea then you might as well opt for MD in areas like radiology, anaesthesiology, paediatrics, forensic medicine and more.
Well, if not MBBS than the option of Physiotherapy, BDS, Ayurvedic medicine, Homeopathy, Veterinary and Pharmacy are definitely some of the good choices around medicine. A masters degree with these streams can offer rewarding career prospects.
Coming down to the bottom line, medical education does blow a hole into your pocket and for students coming from middle income and lower income groups, its not an easy way ahead. But, with the help of student loans, you may as well manage to realize your medical education dreams. Though, it is important to have indepth information on the student loan interest, payback procedure and time for repayment in detail, needs to be known particularly when you are planning to pursue higher education abroad.
Medical is undoubtedly a lucrative career but having said that it does come with its own cons which need to be considered before taking a plunge into it.

Dog Toys
Items 1-12 of 309
Tonka Tyre Toy€15.00
Items 1-12 of 309
Dog toys are a great gift for your pup! They do a large number of things, from helping train your dog to distracting him while you cook dinner! There's a wide array of types, with one for every variety of dog. Is he a chewer? He'll appreciate something with thicker rubber! Does your dog get bored quite frequently? Then a toy that makes noises is the one for him! We stock every kind here at Equipet, Ireland's favourite online pet shop.
Chewing rubber or latex dog toys can contribute to a dogs's overall good dental hygiene. Another benefit of toys for dogs is the exercise that they can get from playing and chasing them. You can buy dog toys online that have been designed to provide stimulation for a dog's mind, which helps reduce the risk of the problem behaviour that can arise as a result of boredom. A Kong filled with a treat or treat paste, for example can keep a dog occupied for a long period where the owner may not have the time to provide the stimulation needed. When you're busy, make sure they're busy too!
While dogs may be immediately drawn to some toys, many owners find it a struggle to get them to engage with others. What you think might be the perfect toy could be found forgotten behind the sofa a few hours later! This ties in with reducing boredom, and the best way to make a toy fun for a dog is to play with them! Playing tug of war or fetch with a toy can show them how interesting it is, and highlight features he may have missed like fun textures or a squeak!
Puppies and young dogs can benefit from dog toys that they can chew on, as this chewing action helps relieve gums that have become sore from teething. There are several types of toys that are ideal for pain relief, starting with the famous Kong brand. These toys can hold treats within and are almost indestructible, as well as having special puppy variants created to help sore pup gums. Equally any tough nylon toy will be great at withstanding these puppy pierces!

I am demoing Remote and have run into an issue with the focus positioning when using the Stackshot. Using the default configuration, when I click on one of the focus buttons (small, medium or big it does not seem to matter) things move the way they are supposed to. As soon as I click a focus button in the opposite direction, the Stackshot takes a huge jump, then each subsequent click moves the way it is supposed to. From then on if I click any button opposite to the one I just clicked the Stackshot keeps jumping large jumps.
Any ideas?

Flashing back to a plane crash? Must be sweeps. But I did love how they recaptured the chaos and confusion of the landing that the pilot episode had. Kudos to the directors: If you can make me feel dizzy without me getting all
Blair Witch nauseous, that's impressive work. I was, however, completely grossed out by the broken leg and Libby resetting it. Couldnt help but wonder if that poor guy would have lived had he landed on the other side of the island with Jack. But the tailies clearly had a lot more encounters with the "Others" or "Them" than our other castaways. Sure, Ethan abducted Claire, and there was always that creepy monster to contend with, but when the Others can invade your camp to take your strongest members and all your kids, that's not good. Not to mention that they completely destroyed any hope the survivors had of hiding by getting Goodwin to make all nicey-nicey with Ana-Lucia. Those are some truly bad guys, especially Goodwin, who mercilessly snapped poor
Josh Randall's neck in the middle of the woods. (On a random note: Which Ed cast member do we think will show up next, since we've already had Josh and Julie Bowen? My money's on Molly.) Now I know I've said some unkind things about Ana along the way, and while I still dont like her attitude, I do admire her survival skills and her willingness to protect her newfound tribe. She seemed to know a lot about that Army knife and she put clues together about bad guys, so perhaps her eventual backstory will show where she learned these tricks of the trade. That is if she survives long enough to get a backstory. The look on Sayid's face when she shot Shannon wasn't exactly all nice-to-meet-you-neighbor. I wonder if hell get a chance to try out some of those nasty torture techniques that he used on Sawyer last year. Hmm one can hope. Anyway, did anyone else think it was really creepy to hear the other end of the Boone radio transmission? Oh, and thoughts on what the upward-pointing arrow on the other shelter's Dharma logo was? It seemed to be some sort of directional signal like a compass, but how does that relate to the swan logo in the hatch? Also, we know that some of the kids must still be alive because we saw the boy with the teddy bear who arrived onshore with his unconscious sister walking in the woods. But why are the Others so obsessed with kids? Ah, another intense week, another batch of unanswered questions. God, I love this show.

Finding the moral center
Jesse L. Jackson Sr. | 8/16/2018, 6 a.m.
The media is now reporting on the debate among Democrats and activists about what the party should stand for and how it will win elections. Establishment Democrats are said to fear that the populist reform energy represented by Bernie Sanders and rising star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — who upset Rep. Joe Crowley, the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House, in a New York City primary — will turn off the moderate, upscale, white suburban Republicans who they believe are appalled by President Trump and the key to taking back the Congress.
A Wall Street-funded group known as the "Third Way" — which might better be known as the "Wrong Way" because it has been wrong about every major issue facing the country over the last few years, championing disastrous corporate trade deals, deregulation of Wall Street and the Iraq War among other calamities — convened a small gathering co-hosted by a billionaire real estate developer to map out how to counter what the media describes as the left.
The very terms of this debate are misleading.
Ideas that have broad public support, such as tuition-free college, are labeled as "left." Ideas that offend philosophical conservatives, such as subsidies to big oil companies, are tagged as on the right, championed by Republicans.
We'd be wiser to focus on common sense and basic principles.
When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke forcefully against what he called the "triple evils" of "racism, economic exploitation and militarism," he was criticized for weakening the cause of civil rights, for getting out of his lane by talking about economic inequality and against the Vietnam War. He responded, "I'm against segregation at lunch counters, and I'm not going to segregate my moral concerns."
Cowardice, he taught us, asks the question "Is it safe?" Expediency asks, "Is it politic?" Vanity asks, "Is it popular?" Conscience asks, "Is it right?"
We are a nation faced with great perils. Inequality has reached new extremes and, even with the economy near full employment, working people still struggle simply to stay afloat. Big money corrupts our politics and distorts our government. We are mired in wars without end — 17 years in Afghanistan and counting — and without victory or sense. We have a president who believes he profits politically by spreading racial division, appealing to our fears rather than our hopes.
This is the time for citizens and for true leaders to move not left or right, to the expedient or the cautious, but to the moral center.
Affordable health care for all isn't left or right, it is the moral center. Jobs that pay a living wage, affordable housing, public education, college without debt, clean water and air, action to address catastrophic climate change that literally may endanger the world — these are not ideas of the right or left. They are the moral center.
Holding to the moral center has its own power. Opposition to slavery started as a minority position, but its moral force was undeniable. Integration seemed impossible in the segregated South, but its moral force could not be denied.
In this time of troubles, I believe that Americans in large numbers are looking for leaders who will embrace the moral center, not the expedient, the safe or the fashionable. They are looking for champions who will represent them, not those with deep pockets. That may be the final irony. The most successful political strategy may well be not to trim to prevailing opinion or compromise with entrenched interests but to stand up forcefully for what is right.
