Colorado Democratic Senate candidate and former state house speaker Andrew Romanoff on Monday released a new ad showing the "hellscape" he says will come about if the government doesn't stop climate change.
The apocalyptic scenario in the campaign video takes place in Colorado Springs "in the not so distant future." It shows a little girl describing her isolated life underground with her family. As she says she misses seeing the sun, her father appears in a hazmat suit to cover the last bit of sunlight peeping in with aluminum foil.
"What I miss most is the sunshine," the little girl says in the ad. "But we've been here for a really long time now."
A voice on the radio then reports the temperature at 127 degrees Fahrenheit with an air quality index number of 420. According to the federal government, moderate air quality ranges between 51 and 100 on the air quality index, while the range of 301 to 500 is "hazardous," the most dangerous label on the scale.
"This is not the stuff of fiction, nor some far off threat," the ad's narrator says. "This is a clear and present danger to life on earth. A catastrophe of our own creation. A climate crisis that condemns our children to an ever hotter planet."
The video also features Romanoff's top Democratic primary opponent, former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper. The ad attacks Hickenlooper for his ties to the fossil fuel industry and his defense of fracking in 2013.
Hickenlooper, a former petroleum geologist, also defended fracking in his 2016 memoir The Opposite of Woe: My Life in Beer and Politics.
"Fracking is good for the country's energy supply, our national security, our economy, and our environment," Hickenlooper wrote.
Romanoff touted the ad's scientific legitimacy in an interview with the Colorado Sun. "I don't know when [Colorado] looks like that," Romanoff said. "But for many parts of the world, that hellscape is already here."

Highways of the State of South Dakota
Interstate 29, South Dakota
> Interstate 229, South Dakota
Interstate 229
Interstate 229 is a 12-mile loop around Sioux Falls. This runs from a junction with Interstate 29 near the Minnehaha/Lincoln County Line on the southwest side of Sioux Falls, to the northeast corner of Sioux Falls, at Interstate 90.
What makes this highway interesting is the northern end point. After the ramps to I-90 it runs into a Township Road. Less than a quarter mile from the ramp to westbound I-90 the pavement changes to a gravel surface.
While in South Dakota, I-229 is not multi-plexed.

2021 Washington Legislature, Day 103 of 105
Everett Herald political reporter Jerry Cornfield: firstname.lastname@example.com | @dospueblos
Want this in your inbox Monday-Wednesday-Friday? Subscribe here.
OLYMPIA, April 23, 2021 — Good morning. It's Friday and this is the penultimate edition of the Cornfield Report for the 2021 legislative session.
Here's some unfinished business facing the 147 citizen legislators before Sunday's finish of an unprecedented 105-day virtual session.
• Budget deals are done but negotiators of the Democrat-led House and Senate aren't shaking hands for health and safety reasons. It will be Saturday before details of the operating budget can be read.
• Cap-and-trade (Senate Bill 5126) is creeping forward, its passage far from certain.
A bloc of progressive House Democrats is not enthralled with which polluters could be excluded from this carbon emission reduction effort. And they are insistent none of the revenue be spent on pavement projects and a lot be spent to provide "direct and meaningful benefits to vulnerable populations and overburdened communities."
Meanwhile, several Democratic senators don't like how the House de-coupled this bill from passage of a transportation package. And a few are not happy to see a provision added requiring adoption of a low-carbon fuel standard by the end of 2027.
• Sidebar: If separate legislation for a low-carbon fuel standard and a multi-year, multibillion-dollar transportation package are dead, it means no boost in state dollars for maintaining existing highways and bridges or new dough for replacing the I-5 bridge over the Columbia River. The other Washington could solve some of the problem. It's destined to be an issue in the 2022 election.
• A legislative response (SB 5476) to the Blake decision looks on track. House Democrats are willing to make simple drug possession a misdemeanor and accelerate access to treatment services for offenders and those with substance-use disorders. A Senate majority of equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans passed a different version. It will likely be a different — and more Democratic — majority that passes the final rendition.
• Capital gains tax will cross the finish line. Will Senate Bill 5096 contain a version of an emergency clause? Probably not. It's no secret Senate Democratic leaders dropped the emergency clause to secure a 25th vote in their caucus for passage. House Democrats know that, too. Still they put one in. The Senate voted Thursday to not concur with what the House passed. "We'll negotiate to the end," a House leader told me Thursday. "It may be something we have to recede on. Ultimately, we need the votes."
When will things happen? Majority Democrats in the House are penciling in floor votes on cap-and-trade today, Blake response and operating budget bills Saturday and the capital and transportation spending plans Sunday.
Their Senate counterparts will likely wait until Sunday to tackle the operating budget. The bill is due out Saturday morning, and Senate Majority Leader Andy Billig, D-Spokane, has said at least 24 hours will pass before a vote is taken.
Tactics and tear gas
In the future, a politician will decide if tear gas is used to quell a civil disturbance. Mayors, county executives or the governor would have to give their approval before law enforcement could use tear gas to quell riots under new language added to House Bill 1054 by House and Senate conferees.
On a related bill dealing with use of force by police, conferees agreed on essentially the version passed by the Senate. Among the provisions is one covering approaches to de-escalating situations, including leaving an area if there is no imminent threat and no crime has been or is about to be committed.

After we'd looked around the exhibition at the Ruthin Craft Centre, we decided to walk the short distance into the small town and have a look around.
There's been a town here since the 13th century when, during t his consolidation of the conquest of North Wales, Edward I had a castle constructed in this strategic location. There' not much left of the castle today and it's now part of a hotel, set in it's own grounds. Apparently Prince Charles stayed here for the night before his investiture as Prince of Wales at Caernarfon Castle in 1969. As was usually the case, a community developed around the castle, so the town was probably originally a bastide, populated with English settlers. But these days it's very Welsh!
Probably the most notable event in the town's history occurred during the Welsh revolt 1400–1415 led by Owain Glyndŵr. The revolt was sparked when Reginald de Grey, Lord of Ruthin, who was a big mate of the king, Henry IV, allegedly stole some land claimed by Glyndŵr . His response was to attack Ruthin with several hundred men, looting and burning down most of the buildings in the town. This was the start of the rebellion, during which Glyndŵr was proclaimed Prince of Wales.
Being rather out on a limb away from the main industrial centres, Ruthin is rather frozen in time and, as a consequence, there's a significant number of interesting old buildings. It's a small town centre, only a few streets, so it didn't take long to look around.
The Old Court House was built in 1421 after the original court house building was burned down by Owain Glyndŵr 's men. It's a Grade II* Listed building and until 2017 housed a branch of the National Westminster Bank.
Nantclwyd House in Castle Street is a Grade I listed timber-framed mansion and the oldest building in Ruthin dating from 1314.
Today, it's a museum. Unfortunately we didn't have time to visit.
There's some "newer" buildings, too, a number from the Georgian period
Exmewe Hall, on St Peter's Square, it looks like a Tudor timber framed building, but was actually reconstructed during the 20th century to mimic the black and white town mansion, built around 1550, that originally stood on the site.
I enjoyed looking at the old buildings, but before we headed back to the car to set off for Anglesey, we had to go to prison!

The Covid-19 Bio-weapon will strike the globe in different waves, until everybody's immune system has been completely tested.
Indonesia's government, in a single-minded effort to ward off public panic, remains reluctant to reveal the full geographic breadth of its Covid-19 outbreak in the wide-reaching archipelago's 34 provinces.
The only publicly acknowledged cases outside of the heavily-populated island of Java so far have been in West and North Sumatra, Lampung, Riau, West and East Kalimantan, North Sulawesi and Bali.
With the death toll rising from 12 to 25 in the past two days, the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security puts Indonesia's mortality rate at more than 8%, the highest in the world ahead of even Italy, Iran, China, Japan and Spain.
Even in Bali, where 114,100 tourists from 165 countries still arrived in the first 12 days of March, members of the diplomatic and private medical community have no real idea of the number of new cases since a British woman died there on March 11.
Italy surpassed China on Thursday as the country with the most deaths from Corona-virus as California, home to more than 39 million people, was placed under lock-down in the most drastic containment measure yet by a US state.
China for its part reported on Friday a second day with no new domestic cases since the virus appeared in the central city of Wuhan in December, before spreading worldwide.
World leaders also unleashed nearly one trillion dollars to prop up the teetering global economy, only to see the once-in-a-century pandemic seemingly spiral further out of control.
The death toll soared in Europe as Italy announced another 427 fatalities on Thursday, taking its total to 3,405, according to a tally compiled by AFP from official sources.
China has officially reported 3,245 deaths from the virus, which can cause respiratory failure, particularly in the elderly. France reported 108 more deaths over the last 24 hours, bringing the total number to 372.
Globally, the death toll from the virus has risen to more than 9,800 with more than 232,650 cases in 158 countries and territories.

K and L
Work Step by Step
The basic form of the equation is $y=a(k(x-d))^{2} + c$ $a\gt0$ says that a is greater than zero meaning that a value is positive. Since the a value is positive the graph opens upwards. The graphs of K and L have graphs that open upwards and thus have a positive a value.

Ever wondered what exactly is Coca-Cola?
Coke is the most valuable brand of history and "Coca-Cola" is the second most famous word in the world after "hello". However, the drink itself is absolute poison to human metabolism. Very acidic, the pH is one point higher than battery acid. As a result, it is suitable (and often better) for cleaning surfaces in which we usually use toxic household cleaning agents.
Cheaper and easier to buy in some third world countries than clean water. Coca-Cola uses "PR propaganda" to convince consumers and entire nations that it is an "eco-friendly society", while its activities are actually related to pollution, water scarcity and disease.
Among people who consume soft drinks, for example Coca-Cola, the risk of heart attack and stroke is 48% higher than in those who do not drink such beverages at all, or at least do not drink them every day. According to a study published in the journal Respirology, drinking soft drinks may be associated with lung and respiratory disorders, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The carbonated acid in cola causes calcium loss in bones during a 3-stage process:
Carbonic acid irritates the stomach.
The stomach tries to "cure" the irritation the way it can, i.e. it adds the only acid bond it has: calcium. It comes in the blood to this.
The now low calcium blood from the bones makes up for the missing calcium. Not doing so would severely damage muscle and brain function.
But the story doesn't end here. Another problem with Coke is that it contains phosphorous acid (not the same as carbon dioxide mixed with water). Phosphorous acid affects the body's storage of calcium.
So Coke softens bones in 3 ways (it actually makes them weaker and brittle):
Carbonic acid reduces calcium in bones.
Phosphorous acid reduces calcium in bones.
The drink replaces calcium-containing alternatives, such as milk or water. Milk and water aren't excellent sources of calcium, but they can still be considered sources.
Oesophagus cancer was very rare two generations ago, and now it's common. The basic mechanism works as follows:
Mechanical damage of cells is a huge risk factor in cancer. This is the reason why asbestos particles cause lung cancer, for example.
All soft drinks cause acid reflux (stomach acid rises higher than the esophagus valve). This is much more emphasized when the body is in a horizontal position (while sleeping), but in most cases, the amount of Coke and other soft drinks consumed means that acid reflux is well beyond the danger point. Whenever we drink a pleasant drink it causes burping and thus the acid enters the esophagus. How much is too much? The research doesn't reveal where the line is, it just shows most of us are way over it.
Stomach acid dissolves tissue – this is its goal. Stomach mucous membrane is not found in the esophagus, so damage to the lower esophagus is much more common in people who consume acidic soft drinks than in non-carbonated drinks. This results in radical growth of cell mutations and much higher levels of free roots.
So what happens to our body after drinking Coca-Cola?
After 10 minutes: ten teaspoons of sugar are found in a glass of coke, which measures a devastating "blow" on the body, and the only reason you don't throw up is phosphorous acid, which inhibits sugar.
After 20 minutes: There is a jump in the insulin level in the blood flow. Liver turns all sugar into fat.
40 min later: Caffeine intake is finally ending. Eye pupils dilate. Blood pressure rises as the liver puts more sugar into the bloodstream. Adenosine receptors become obstructed, which prevents drowsiness. http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koffein )
After 45 minutes: The body increases the production of dopamine hormone, which stimulates the brain's pleasure center. Similar reaction to what Heroin causes.
After 1 hour: Phosphorous acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in the gastrointestinal tract, giving an extra boost to the metabolism. Calcium is released with irrigation.
In 1 hour: The effect of the drink's urine enters the "game". Calcium, magnesium and zinc are removed from the body, which are components of our bones, as well as sodium. This is when we can become agile or dull. The entire amount of water contained in coke is removed with urine.
When we drink a cold bottle of Coke and enjoy its undeniable freshness, are we aware of what chemical "cocktail" we're putting into our bodies? The active ingredient in Coca-Cola is phosphorous acid. Due to the high acid content, the containers used to transport the chemical had to be equipped with special containers designed for materials with highly corrosion.
Let's take a look at the "anatomy" of Coca-Cola's best-promoted products, the decaf Coca-Cala Light. This beverage contains: carbonated water, E150D, E952, E951, E338, E330, aromas, E211.
Water enriched with carbon acid – this is soda water. This disturbs the secretion of the stomach, increases the acidity of the stomach acid, and causes bloating. First of all, filtered tap water is used.
E150D – is a food colouring that is obtained by processing the sugar at a certain temperature, with or without the addition of chemical reagents. In the case of Coca-Cola, they add ammonium sulphate.
E952 – Sodium cyclamate, a sugar substitute. Cyclamate is a synthetic chemical, sweet taste that is 200 times sweeter than sugar and is used as an artificial sweetener. In 1969 it was banned by the FDA because it, along with sacharine and aspartame, caused cancer in rats. Later this material was re-legalized in a very suspicious way.
E950 – Acesulfate Potassium. 200 times sweeter than sugar, contains methyl-ether. This makes the cardiovascular system harder. It also contains asparagus acid, which can also cause arousal effects in our nervous system and lead to addiction over time. My acesulph is badly dissolved and is not recommended for children or pregnant women.
E951 – Aspartame. A sugar substitute for diabetics, chemically unstable at high temperatures, decomposes to methanol and phenylamine. Methanol is very dangerous as it can cause 5-10 ml of optic nerve damage and irreversible blindness. In hot soft drinks, aspartame turns into formaldehyde, which is a very strong carcinogenic substance. Symptoms of aspartame poisoning are: fainting, headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, heartbeat, weight gain, irritability, anxiety, memory disorder, blurred vision, fainting, joint pain, depression, infertility, loss of hearing and so on and so on. Aspartame can trigger the following diseases: brain tumors, SM (Multiple Sclerosis), epilepsy, Graves' disease, chronic fatigue, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, mental deficiency and tuberculosis.
E338 – Phosphorous Acid. This can cause skin and eye irritation. This is used to produce salts of ammonia, sodium, calcium, aluminum phosphorous acid and in the organic synthesis of charcoal and film tapes. They are also used in heat resistant materials, ceramics, glass, fertilizers, synthetic cleaning agents, drug production, metal processing, and in the textile and oil industries. It is known that phosphorous acid interferes with the absorption of calcium and iron in the body, which can cause bone weakness and bone loss. Other side effects are thirst and skin rashes.
E330 – Citrus Acid. It is widely used in pharmaceutical and food industry. Citric acid salts (citrates) are used in the food industry, for example, with acids, preservatives, as stabilizers and in the medical field to preserve blood.
Aromas – unknown aroma additives
E211 – Sodium benzoate. This is used in the production of food products for antibacterial and fungal purposes. It often happens in jams, juices and fruit yoghurts. Not recommended for those with asthma and those who are sensitive to aspirin. A study by Peter Piper (University of Sheffield, Great Britain) found that this compound causes significant damage in DNA. According to Peter, sodium-benzoate, which is an active ingredient in preservatives, does not destroy DNA but shuts it off. This can lead to liver contractions and degenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease.
If you can't imagine life without Coca-Cola, consider the following:
Many Coca-Cola distributors in America use this drink to clean truck engines.
In America, many police cars have Coca-Cola bottles and when a car accident happens, they use it to wash the blood off the road.
Coca-Cola is a great product for removing rust spots from the chrome surfaces of cars. To remove corrosion from a car battery, just pour coke on it and corrosion disappears.
To free a rusty screw, dip a piece of cloth in Coca-Cola and roll it around the screw for a few minutes.
To remove stains from clothes – pour Coca-Cola on the dirty clothes, add detergent and start the washing machine as usual. You will be surprised at the results.
Some farmers in India use Coca-Cola instead of pesticides for insecticide because it is cheaper and the effect is very similar.
Coca-Cola is undeniably a very useful product. The most important thing is that you use it for purposes, that do not include its consumption!

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to read about us, AIDO and to discover a unique unfolding phenomenon within and about Africa, by African people ourselves both on the continent and in the diaspora. Inspired by Africa's own illustrious hero and great grandson who left the world on August 28 1963, bequeathing to us the adage "I have a dream", AIDO Network International since its inception in 2018, makes another leap into uncharted space after galvanising interest among dreamers on the continent to reach every African person wherever they are found on the earth's surface
Culture serving as an enabler, vehicle and decisive instrument for true transformation of the mind-set constitutes a vessel to deliver change in people's social and economic lives. We partner, befriend and study why Africa's status quo is what it is. We jointly provide responses for all our readers or followers to consider these ideas on how, through a new "self-reliance" based approach and determination Africa will rise up to her original grandeur prior to external interference five centuries ago.
AIDO's Africa continent-wide network of major cultural institutions i.e. kings, queens, traditional chiefs and elders provides an alternative to hitherto ill-adjusted foreign models of running societies. Revival of the Ubuntu philosophical basis in leadership – putting ethics/morals first is what drives the new strategy forward.
Partnership and cooperation now expands to embrace Africa's distant descendants from the unfortunate victims of ancient foreign barbaric practices of slave trade, human trafficking and the inhuman institution of slavery. Discovery of shared biological, cultural and historical roots as well as current scientific, economic and social interests has led to a new appetite for mutual support and upliftment undertakings.
Paul Jones Eganda, Founding President, AIDO

To cut Dairy & Alcohol for a good full month!
At first, I know I am like you, it seems a little drastic but now that it has been more than a week now, it actually isn't too bad. But well, it does get a little overwhelming over the weekend because you honestly don't know what you are going out for if it isn't for drinks with friends or enjoying a beer or two over pizza with friends.
It takes as little of an effort as writing it in your calender, like do you write 'crossfit' or 'drinks with friends' on your calender on Friday? When I was planning my week, I realise that I actively left Friday's box out!? WHUUT?!! WHY??!!
See what my mind did that? It started planning in my head way ahead what I was going to do when I know I should not be doing it which was to go out for drinks when I could have easily pencil in, 'Crossfit at 6:30 pm' and get it over with. But nope, my brain was smart enough to leave me hanging and allow me to procrastinate IF I should go to Crossfit on a Friday night since (sub-consciously) I did not write it in. It doesn't matter does it? Since I did not write it down.
Like why couldn't I just write what I was going to do on a Friday night just like every other day? Why did I leave it blank? Because yes, I wanted to be hopeful and wish that WHEN/IF my friends ask me out on a Friday night, I DON'T HAVE anything on SO I can easily meet them! Makes sense right?
So no, I did not leave it blank in the end. I wrote Crossfit at 6:30pm because I want to save myself all that troubl and not give myself an excuse to go out for drinks. HAHA!
Don't get me wrong: going out with friends and spending time with people is absolutely an essential to live a balanced life, and I do have plenty of fun. But I realized that if I was serious about changing my body and making some changes in my life, it was only going to work if I set healthy boundaries that were on my terms. Sure, there are times that I will be tempted and crave a little cheese and alcohol, but I feel that the majority of my time should be dedicated to living a healthier, more balanced life — and what's even better than that?
The results that I get to prove it with.
Learn to be OKAY in saying No. Sometimes saying No is not such a bad thing after all especially if it's under your terms.
Have a good week folks!

Shakira looked around at the women on the floor. Some were smoking, most talking and the sound of clinking bottles were heard though the women tried to muffle it with their robes.
"Aliya, don't be so stingy with that bottle. Pass it over here, woman."
"You will guzzle it, and we will have to clean up the mess." Laugher sounded throughout the room. Some of the women sipped from the hidden and forbidden bottles of their husbands. They were not the young ones.
Give them time, thought Shakira, the wine will flow as easy as their tongues and their laughter.
It was not often they could gather, and each yearned for a time where inhibitions would lessen and gossip, the welcome companion of women, was allowed.
"Jassa", called Shakira, "come spread the cloth on the altar. We must do this properly if
we are to catch a Zar tonight."
"Perhaps cousin we catch two Zars tonight. My Farah has been complaining of stomach troubles and maybe a Zar has gripped her middle."
Shakira shook her head and laughed. "Farah eats too many dates and she is fat as a ewe. No Zar would have room to lodge in her stomach. Too much food in there.
Dried fruit, stuffed dates, nuts and sweet breads were passed around on large trays. A large brass one was placed on the altar, made of a high stool in the middle of the room. This was for the spirits who happened to come wandering in during the drumming. No mortal would dare touch that offering.
A number of women had dumbeks, brought to the house smuggled under their voluminous robes. The tamboura , an ancient lyre-like instrument, was already in the hands of Leila, and she busy tuning it to suit the mood of the evening. Leila usually started with sad songs, and as the wine made the rounds, the tempo of the tamboura , followed by the dumbeks, would increase and the women would make little effort to confine their happiness.
Ah! Life could be good! It was just a matter of side- stepping the men.
Tonight Shakira had an idea, something she had dreamed of for a while. The festival of the Goddess Nut was approaching, and though no longer celebrated openly Nut was the Goddess closest to the heart of women. Protector of the dead, Nut was also beloved by the living, for she spread her body over the Universe and fed and comforted them from her teats. There was always enough milk from generous Nut and she was beloved by mothers, and most of the women in the village were mothers.
So many babies now in the arms of Nut, resting like stars in her bosom! She had lost her only babe, along with her husband many years ago. So Ali was both to her and tonight she would dance in celebration. Allah was the men's god, but Nut had the heart and devotion of women.
Leila started to play her tamboura, and slow, sad chords and plaints tumbled from her fingers. Women around the room hushed, listened with their ears and hearts, heads nodding. This was the music reaching up to their wombs and lifting the sorrows off their bosoms. Shakira could imagine the ghosts of children and husbands long gone floating like wisps of smoke in the center of the room. Perhaps they would eat from the sacred tray of sweets. Tonight they would join together, still part of the village though no longer in corporal form. The magic of Leila's fingers drew forth tears along, perhaps, invisible spirits.
Her playing changed after these sad songs. Gone was the mourning of the women, to be replaced by joyful tunes. Voices were lifted in song and chant, shoulders swayed and hands clapped out a counter rhythm to the drums.
Shakira felt the trance take over her body, slip up her loins and envelop her mind.
It was a warm embrace, and it wasn't Ali! Warm enough to make her move with an internal rhythm apart from any conscious intentions.
She was possessed by the Zar trance.
Shakira rose to her feet and discarded her outer garment. She shook out her arms and rolled her head around. Her white cotton undergown was loose over her swelling breasts and haunches. She kicked off her sandals and her long black hair streamed down her back, unplaited, flowing like dark waves. She paced around the circle, her body picking up the rhythm of the drums and tamboura, her hips defining a pattern of movement, her arms held out from her body. She was dancing the age-old dance of women, for women, to greet the cares and concerns of their tribe. For, men aside, women were the heart beat of the village, they were the blood coursing through the alleys and up to the well. They were the waters of Life .
Shakira stalked the room, now a tigress, the drums following her, she commanding the rhythm. Shaking, bowing, swaying, each movement mirrored in the watching eyes of the women. She danced alone, but the movements were blood, flesh and muscle of every woman who sat before her. Heads nodded in time with the drums, hands clapped, some women pounded the floor in counter rhythms, swayed with their own bodies in imitation of Shakira's dancing. She moved around the room, hips shaking, belly rolling, shoulders thrown back and forth, hair cascading outward like the whirling skirts of the Dervishes of Turkey as she turned in circles, feet pivoting beneath her body, those feet beating out an tattoo that went straight into the earth.
"Sheikha Shakira dances in the river of life! The Sheikha captures our hearts and lifts them to the Goddesses' lips!"
"Ayaaa! We dance with you, Shakira!"
Voices were raised in chants, joined together in different harmonies, rising up to the ceiling, taking wing in the nighttime air. Shakira's feet pounded out rhythms deep, deep into the soil of the floor. Her hands and flinging arms commanded the winds, and the women's chants rose to the ears of heaven.
Sweat dripped on the face of Leila as she played the tamboura, her fingers flashing on the lyre-like instrument and the drums beat different cadences, creating multi-layered sounds. This drone of music underlay the vocals of the women singing in now- strange harmonies. Pagan magic filled the room and Shakira's body radiated the energies of an older culture. Gone were the cities, the stuff of modern life, the mullahs, the chadors and berka that veiled the beauties of women and in their place was the teats of nourishing Goddess Nut, spreading her body over the universe, the stars coursing through her body, the planets, the moons, the comets, too. The sun crept up her holy woman's place at night, to be born out of her mouth at dawn. The moon too, came forth from her body, and the passage of the hours were marked by her Houri, the original women of the night, dancing with lessening veils till they lay under her belly at daybreak, sleeping.
Praise Nut! Goddess of women. Goddess of our own, time before time, Goddess before any God!

If you are ready to lean into change and transformation - I can offer the gift of empowering, nurturing and witnessing your 're-birth' into the most vibrant and awake version of yourself.
Along with being a Life Coach, I am also an independent Recording Artist, an award winning Songwriter, an entrepreneur, and a mother. My Coach approach is warm, thoughtful, curious, compassionate, and intuitive. I will deeply and actively listen to you, ask focused questions, and gently hold you accountable to the goals that you set. When it feels right, I will share my experiences and insights.
"Could I call Debra a Soul Transformation Coach? It feels like it. Being in a Coaching relationship with Debra feels like a journey into seeing my soul, my spirit, my reason for being, my greatest strengths and challenges...it's a crossing and you don't know what's on the other side of yourself...until you arrive there together." -Carey A.
"Debra was born to be a Coach and I'm so lucky to have had the chance to work with her. I always feel safe to be vulnerable and held in a way that allows me to guide our work together. She is a powerful reflection that has been pivotal to my success." -Deanne M.
"Debra has helped me immensely as both a colleague and a friend in the field of caring for people's mental health. I have gone to her for guidance for things such as assisting my clients in deeper understandings of their Enneagrams. She provides powerful feedback through her intuition and knowledge that has supported my practice. Debra has also helped me uncover those blind spots and blossom into a more grounded, whole person who loves to show up in my practice at work. Her work is truly empowering. I am a better Therapist because of her guidance, and for that I am grateful." -Alaina B.
"I approached Debra with little understanding of what I was looking for. To be honest, I was scared. Though I am goal oriented, I've never really sat down with someone and discussed options and other ideas to reaching a goal. I have found Debra professional, perceptive, practical and a real asset in the process. It is not often, that you can be open with yourself, and have someone be there to LISTEN to everything you're thinking and feeling. " -Joe D.
"Debra is a very intuitive person. It shows in her listening and engagement style. She was able to pick up key phrases several times during the session and question me about my beliefs about the statement." - Bob H.

These are fractures of the palmar/plantar eminences of the middle phalanx. Because they are uniaxial fractures, there is not significant instability in the palmar/plantar direction.
The horses present as acute onset, and severe lameness, not accompanied by instability. Localizing signs are minimal, but maybe include mild soft-tissue swelling and pain on direct palpation on the pastern region.
All breeds can be affected, but horses engaged in Western performance activities may be overrepresented.
Often times, localizing the source of lameness requires regional anesthesia of the digit.
Degenerative disease of the proximal interphalangeal joint as well as fractures of the middle phalanx are seen in most breeds of horses. However horses engaged in western performance activities seem predisposed to injuries involving the proximal interphalangeal joint, especially fractures of the middle phalanx, likely due to the bending and torsional forces generated during abrupt stops and changes in direction.

Komodo is an open-source cryptocurrency that launched in 2016 and was forked from Zcash.
The Komodo Platform allows anyone to launch a fully customized blockchain using the proprietary Antara Composer. This UI allows fully customized Smart Chains, as they are called, with upwards of 27 smart chain parameters and smart modules. Komodo is a fully secure next-generation blockchain that aims for high-throughput to be suitable for enterprise applications with high demands for performance and reliability.
Delayed proof-of-work, or dPoW, can also be used by smaller PoW blockchains through the Antara Framework. This offers protection for their networks from the dreaded 51% attack.
Notary nodes on the Komodo Platform are responsible for analyzing the state of the network, which is hashed into a block on Komodo. This block is then hashed onto the original Bitcoin blockchain before it is once again hashed onto Komodo.
This cross-chain notarization process ensures that disrupting the Komodo blockchain would first require breaking the immutable state of the Bitcoin blockchain proof-of-work consensus mechanism.
The notary nodes are responsible for processing transactions and are split evenly throughout four geographic regions around the world. Additionally, anyone can apply for notary node election, given that they meet minimum qualifications and have the appropriate hardware. This means that KMD is community-driven; users have the ability to participate in the governance process of the Komodo Platform. For KMD held on a non-custodial wallet, users are rewarded with VOTE tokens in a 1:1 ratio.

I took the CISA exam last weekend. After the more than 2 hours it took me to answer the 200 questions my instinct was to leave, but I stuck around for another hour anyway to review my answers like people recommend. I'm glad I did.
The reason people typically review their test answers is to make sure they didn't misread anything or skip anything or want to change their answers. That's what I thought I was doing, but checking my answers ended up making me feel better about the test than I would have otherwise. That reassurance made my think about how I reflect on successes and failures in the rest of my life as well.
When I first completed the test I had a bunch of questions replaying in my head. Those were the questions that I wasn't sure about, the questions I struggled with, the questions that were hard. As a result, my overall impression of my test at that moment was not good. However, when I reviewed my answers I saw that although there were those questions I struggled with there were so many more that I was completely sure about. That realization made me leave the room feeling a lot better about my test performance.
Because they hadn't felt like problems I had forgotten about those easy questions. I had stopped thinking about what I was good at because I was too worried about what I had trouble with. I realized that I do this in life too.
If I make a mistake or embarrass myself or outright fail I tend to remember it clearly. I can tell you minor mistakes that I made decades ago because they still pop up in my head.
Reflecting on mistakes and struggles can be useful if we can learn something from what happened, but if we only look back at what we've done wrong we'll get an overly negative impression of ourselves, which is not beneficial.
If something goes wrong today remind yourself of all the things that went right. Then move on.
(And, no, I do not know if I passed my exam. It takes weeks for them to tabulate and verify all the results and determine what a passing score even is. I should know by the end of October.)

*The Giants have bolstered their offensive line with Free Agent D.J. Fluker: *
Ehe Giants today realized their goals of adding skill, experience, versatility and depth to their offensive line by signing just one player, former first-round draft choice D.J. Fluker.
The 11th overall selection in the 2013 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers, Fluker started 61 of a possible 66 regular-season and postseason games in which he played the last four seasons. He was released on March 7 by the now Los Angeles Chargers.
Fluker, 6-5 and 339 pounds, turns 26 on Monday.
"I'm definitely looking forward to a new start," said Fluker. "Hopefully, I can make a big impact on the offensive line. I think the Giants give me the best opportunity to be successful."
In his first two seasons, Fluker started 31 games in the regular season and two playoff games at right tackle. He moved to right guard in his third year, and started 12 games there in 2015, and all 16 in the 2016 season.
John Jerry, the Giants' incumbent right guard who was also a 16-game starter, is a free agent.
"D.J. is a young, versatile big man with lots of starts in this league," said Giants general manager Jerry Reese. "He will bring size, toughness and competition to our offensive line unit."
Said Fluker,when asked if he had a preference of position, "Wherever they want me to be successful and the team to be successful. They'll move me around a little bit. Wherever they want to put me is fine."
Fluker was born and raised in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward, which his family fled just before the arrival of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. They moved first to Biloxi, Miss., and later to Mobile, Ala. After more hardship, including the loss of a temporary home to fire after they briefly returned to Mississippi, Fluker found his footing at Foley (Ala.) High School, where he moved from defensive tackle to offensive tackle.
Fluker was good enough to earn a scholarship to the University of Alabama, where he was a second-team All-American and the Crimson Tide won BCS national championships in his sophomore (2011) and junior (2012) seasons. He also earned a degree in health studies before foregoing his senior season to enter the draft.
Fluker last season took note of his new team.
"It was great watching them play last year and seeing how well they did," he said. "With Eli Manning, Odell Beckham (two other Louisiana natives) and the rest of the team, they're doing a great job. And they have a great defense. I cannot wait to be a part of the team."

A single mother facing an HIV+ status, a community of stigma and a generation of poverty, Pili is offered the chance to change it all. But with only 3 days to do so, will she be able to? Facing generations of internalised stigma, Pili's battle is not just for money, but for acceptance.
The film builds on Dr Sophie Harman's fieldwork on East African women enduring HIV/AIDS. Despite having never made a film before, producer Sophie Harman was determined to communicate the lives of East African women in the most compelling narrative possible alongside director Leanne Welham. To comprehend life in Miono, they spoke with 80 women from Pwani, discussing their lives, hopes and experiences of living with HIV/AIDS. From this, the two sketched out the beautiful story of the film. In creating the film, producer Sophie Harman and director Leanne Welham found that for most women in Pwani, their stories of poverty and HIV discrimination were the same. A mentor to the women in Miono, and a cast member in Pili named Sesilia remarked, 'Pili is everywhere.'
Special screening and with Producer Sophie Harman and Director Leanne Welham:

Hello guys
I'm sorry to see that some of you don't like the idea of speed night truce game world. Such server was a long time wish from our community. I'm linking just the most recent thread about it, but we got many requests for night truce speed game worlds via all channels over the past months, that's why we decided to go ahead and make it happen for the Bbash. If you'd prefer another type of game world instead, please voice your opinion and let us know how do you imagine it. I assure you your feedback will then be considered by the game center moving forward.
As a player myself, I know there are many different play styles out there and different players often have different preferations. Some like speed game worlds, others 1x, some prefer action all the time while others enjoy night truce, which in my opinion is completely fine. Also part of the reason why we are offering a variety of game worlds and this special will be only one of the bunch to choose from. As already mentioned above, if you'd like to see another type of game world just let us know which one.
Душелов Astartes ApT Sca7ha Would you mind sharing why do you think speed night truce game round will be boring? What would you like to see next?
For the current bbash - starting a game world and even more so a special takes a lot of planning and preparation and I'm afraid it may not be possible to change our speed night truce concept for this year's BBash but your feedback will surely be considered for the future.
Kind regards

Ulanoff: How Dangerous Is Wikipedia?
I have an admission to make: I have used Wikipedia for serious research. And in all the years I've been doing it, I've never really felt as if I've been led astray.
Now, in light of the Chase/Seigenthaler incident, I guess I should just count myself lucky.
Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that consists of nearly 1 million articles and has been, in large part, created by users.
It has information on virtually any topic you can imagine, and —here's where it gets interesting — if it doesn't and you know something about the topic, you can create the first entry (as long as you become a site member) and basically define that subject for the Wikipedia visitors.
Wikipedia editors might consider this a "stub" — something that has yet to be perused by the Wikipedia editors and doesn't contain enough information to be considered an article.
Moreover, each article or record is not frozen in time. Instead, it can be added to and edited by other Wikipedia visitors — that is the very definition of a "wiki." The premise is that working together, we can create an accurate online encyclopedic reference.
Aside from the way this encyclopedia is built, the other big difference between it and your more traditional desk-bound volumes is that Wikipedia can include anything.
So, random technology personalities such as Patrick Norton (of DL.TV) and PC Magazine columnist John C. Dvorak are in there. I'm guessing fans entered them, and then Norton and Dvorak cleaned up their respective articles. I'm only in there as an external link for Rob Glaser (I interviewed him in 2003).
While writing this, I actually edited the entry so that my name links to an archive of my columns. It took about 2 minutes.
But back to the Chase/Seigenthaler saga.
According to news reports, as a joke, a Nashville man named Brian Chase created a biography entry for John Seigenthaler Sr. that described the USA Today founder as having lived in the former Soviet Union for more than a decade and, prior to that, being linked to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Aside from the fact that Chase, who lost his job as a delivery-service manager because of the hoax, didn't know that people actually use Wikipedia for serious research, the ease with which he created and entered a fictitious biography and the way it simply became part of the Wikipedia fabric is frightening.
Is the Chase incident an anomaly, or is all of Wikipedia suspect?
My gut says the online encyclopedia is still a valuable tool, but it's only slightly less suspect than the millions of information blogs on the Web. They're filled with user-generated posts and comments, and a blog is only as relevant and, to some extent, as true as the number of trackbacks it has.
So a highly linked blog is perceived as relevant, and although those who link to it may not see it as "true, verifiable information," Google will play accomplice to help the blog move up the ladder as a relevant result for the given topic.
Someone searching on "Iraq War," for example, could find a blog discussion on the topic as a first-page result (Wikipedia's entry is on page 2). People who are less savvy about the Web and blogs will likely visit the blog, read it, and take the information at face value. Someone's opinion then becomes "truth."
Wikipedia, at least, is not designed to host opinion. It is supposed to be fact-based and accurate. If you decide to create an entry or edit one, you'll see this admonition:
"Content must not violate any copyright and must be based on verifiable sources. By editing here, you agree to license your contributions under the GFDL."
Still, anything built by committee has little chance of 100 percent accuracy. I spent hours crawling through Wikipedia this week looking for glaring errors. I couldn't find any.
What the Chase/Seigenthaler fiasco does prove is that people are often ignorant of the consequences of their own actions, and many learned people still have a lot to learn about the Internet. It does not, however, damn Wikipedia.
Even so, the popular online research tool will need to take a good hard look at its own vetting procedures to 1) reassure the Web community and 2) prepare for the yahoos hoping to pull their own Chase stunt.

What has to stop
for the satellites to quit doing
what they do?
What knows its own fate
and realizes its own consciousness?
What is beamed by the satellites?
What is lost?
What constructs the Universe's reverberances?
What reverberates in your heart right now?
Your head being a reverberate point
between the bouncing ions
and the colors that are sequenced.
The Satellite God speaks to you.
It does what it will.
And the jugs of sweet tea are on sale,
the jugs of sweet tea are on sale.
You have a vacation coming up soon.
What has to take place for the vacations
to quit happening?
What has to walk towards What?
In What direction,
towards What place,
What family meeting area,
for What purpose?

"In that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no more lean on him who struck them, but will lean on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. -Isaiah 10:20."
I've been reading through Isaiah with the #IsaiahChristmas community the past few days. One thing is really sticking with me: there's a big difference between submitting to authority and leaning on authority.
In Isaiah 10 God through Isaiah announces his judgements on Assyria, a government and people he used to purify his people. But now he's telling his people not to be afraid of them because he's going to come down on the Assyrians for being so arrogant. They may have been the tool God used to chastise them, but they weren't God. They were a tool in God's hand. That is all. The tool wasn't going to get away with boasting over the One who designed it.
"Shall the axe boast over him who hews with it,or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it?As if a rod should wield him who lifts it,or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood!" -Isaiah 10:15
The Assyrians were used by God to deal with his people and their idolatrous ways. He let his people have who they were leaning on: the Assyrians. They apparently wanted to be like them. They feared these guys Rezin and Remaliah, because they were powerful. They seemed to have desired to be like these guys who would put hooks in their captives noses. They saw all that oppressive power, feared it, and wanted to be like it. Israel wasn't satisfied with God's good, gentle authoritative rule over them. They wanted the imposing power of the nations they feared.
"Because this people has refused the waters of Shiloah that flow gently, and rejoice over Rezin and the son of Remaliah, therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up against them the waters of the River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. And it will rise over all its channels and go over all its banks…" – Isaiah 8:6-7
God had gentle, good waters for them, but they wanted the powerful, influential rivers of Assyria. So he let them have it. He let them have what they were leaning on, what they feared, what they trusted to hold them up. There, propped up under the abusive hand of Assyria they felt the distinct difference between the gentle ways of God with his people and the abusive was of world rulers. There, God tore down what Israel was leaning on.
And there, weak and few, Israel again began to lean on their good God and no longer on their lust for influence of power.
"In that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no more lean on him who struck them, but will lean on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth." Isaiah 10:20
I so identify with this whole story. Isaiah testifies to me of my love of men's praise and desire to be influential with influential people. I lean on men. This is me naturally. Sinfully. But Jesus is in me. In Isaiah I see how he has dealt with me these 24 years, letting the man I leaned on fall time and time again, so that I would see where my trust was lying and how unreliable man is.
In my case, it's my marriage. But it could be the government. Or a boss. Or a teacher. Or anyone or thing that I trust, lean on, to support me and fulfill me. In every case, God will not let his people continue with such a false hope and betraying trust. He will use the very thing we trust against us to cause us to see how much we're trusting in it. And then, if that person, or government of situation abuses it's position as a tool in God's hand, God will deal with them. He is not letting our "functional saviors" fail for our failure. He's letting them fail for our good.
In any case, whether it be a marriage, or a political party or government or employer… God has instructed us to submit to people in positions of leadership- husbands, police officers, governors, presidents, teachers, etc. But submitting to those people or institutions is not the same as leaning on them. In fact, submitting to them means they're leaning on us. And if we're leaning on Christ as being God's own children, then we can endure whatever comes our way through their opposition or difficult personalities or injustices. We can endure, even resist while we serve and do good, leaning on our good God who will deal with the people in authority.
The coming hope of Israel in Isaiah is our hope also. Christ is our hope. And his yoke is light. We can come under it and suffer and come out risen and perfected and made new. We can rest in God's good ways. But if we rest on those in authority, we will be stricken by their failure to be what only God can be.

On Friday, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez told activists in New Jersey that their protests were hitting the Trump administration where it hurt. He pointed to Jan. 21, the day of the Women's March, as the start of a resistance that had been more effective than critics ever expected.
Hours later, the conservative Daily Caller posted clips of Perez's remarks for a story that was shared on Facebook more than 18,000 times. Ronna Romney McDaniel, the new chair of the Republican National Committee, demanded an apology for the "dangerous" remarks, snarking that Perez "needs a lesson on how the electoral college works."
But Perez did not apologize. On Saturday, in Texas, he said exactly the same thing. In an email, Perez spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa explained that the DNC chair was not going to stop belittling Trump's victory.
"Tom has not only pointed out that the Russians interfered in this election to help Donald Trump get elected, but Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 3 million people," Hinojosa said. "Since before Trump stepped foot in the Oval Office, his divisive and destructive views had already been rejected by a vast majority of the American people."
Perez's speeches, which made news on conservative websites all weekend, reflected the tonal shift — perhaps a permanent one — that Democrats have undergone since their 2016 defeat. Covering Perez's campaign for DNC chair, I saw firsthand how the affable former labor secretary grew more and more aggressive in the ways he mocked and decried the Trump administration.
That sometimes involved four-letter words. At a speech in Detroit, Perez said Trump graduated from "Makin' S--- Up University," and at several live-streamed candidate forums, he described the administration's executive orders on labor rules as "bulls---t." The New Jersey and Texas speeches were the latest in a string of fiery Perez open mics; they were just the first to cross the radar of conservative media.
Democrats don't mind the attention. Their new, harsher tone came after Clinton and the entire Democratic Party tried, and failed, to brand Trump as too crude to serve in the White House. As a post-election study by the Wesleyan Media Project found, Clinton's ad campaign was historically negative and light on policy, with 90 percent of its TV commercials focusing on Trump's personality. The upshot of those ads was that a President Trump would embarrass Americans. In "Role Models," viewers saw bewildered children watch Trump on TV as he shoots off insults.
In "Captain Khan," a well-made ad that dazzled pundits, the father of a Muslim U.S. soldier who had been killed in action in Iraq reflected on how Trump's insults and threat to ban Muslims from entering the United States made him feel unwelcome in a country he now calls home.
We can cut to the chase: These ads did not work. Compelling, and designed in part to keep educated suburbanites in Clinton's camp, they were predicated on the theory that voters would see Trump as unacceptable and overcome doubts to vote for the Democrat. In key states, even though majorities of voters viewed Trump unfavorably, pluralities picked him anyway.
The long tail of that experience is that progressives stopped caring about the tone of politics. They felt that Clinton, by failing to strip the bark off Trump's record and policies, had blown an advantage with voters who saw her as more qualified to be president. In the moment, Michelle Obama's saying that "when they go low, we go high" mirrored what progressives felt about the campaign. As soon as Clinton lost, it felt like a giant strategic error. (And it never took into account the rumors, fed in conservative media for decades, that Clinton was a foul-mouthed tyrant when the cameras were off.)
Remember "When they go low we go high?"— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) February 1, 2017
Yeah, that's super dead.
Clinton's approach was summed up in the second presidential debate, which Trump entered at a serious disadvantage, bleeding support after the release of the "Access Hollywood" tape in which he bragged about sexually assaulting a woman. Trump's solution: bring four women who had accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault to the debate and deflect a question about his own scandal by attacking his opponent's husband.
Hillary Clinton responded by invoking Trump's insults.
When I hear something like that, I am reminded of what my friend Michelle Obama advised us all. When they go low, you go high. And, look, if this were just about one video, maybe what he is saying tonight would be understandable. But everyone can draw their own conclusions at this point about whether or not the man in the video or the man on the stage respects women. But he never apologizes for anything to anyone. He never apologized to Mr. And Mrs. Khan, the Gold Star family whose son, Captain Khan, died in the line of duty in Iraq, and Donald insulted and attacked them for weeks over their religion. He never apologized to the distinguished federal judge who was born in Indiana, but Donald said he couldn't be trusted to be a judge because his parents were "Mexican." He never apologized to the reporter that he mimicked and mocked on national television and our children were watching. And he never apologized for the racist lie that President Obama was not born in the United States of America. He owes the president an apology and he owes our country an apology and he needs to take responsibility for his actions and his words.
Again, in the moment, this was exactly what Democrats wanted to hear — and what they thought voters wanted to hear. It was inconceivable that the man who perpetuated the "birther" lie could take the presidency. But since then, they've seen Trump get away with plenty more insults. More important, they've reflected on how Clinton made her response personal, instead of tying Trump to the Republican Party and its policies. And one result was watching Trump take the White House.
This has not just curdled political rhetoric in general; it has emboldened Democrats to make fun of the increasingly unpopular president, and to portray Republicans as dishonest and heartless. One might argue that they've always said that about Republicans, but again, the Clinton campaign tried to "go high" about this stuff. In her August 2016 speech condemning the "alt-right," Clinton noted that House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) had condemned Trump's insult of the judge handling his university fraud case and attacked Stephen K. Bannon for his criticism of Ryan's "social-justice Catholicism."
Clinton's reward? Ryan would demand that she fire Catholic staffers whose conversation criticizing right-wing elements in the church was stolen by hackers and released by WikiLeaks. In my coverage of the left, Clinton's occasional attempts to separate Trump from the broader, "reasonable" Republican Party are remembered as massive strategic errors.
Perez, who endorsed Clinton for president, has more or less embraced that view. Asked whether he would apologize for the "give a s---" line, Hinojosa said Perez stood by his comment completely.
"Tom Perez has said repeatedly, including in New Jersey, that Republican leaders like Donald Trump, Paul Ryan and others in Congress have shown us that they don't care about the American people, especially when it comes to providing families with affordable health insurance," she said in the email. "The Republican health-care bill would have taken away coverage from 24 million people, imposed an age tax, and made Americans pay more money for less care. Republicans are making it harder to save for retirement, and one of the first acts under President Trump was to make it harder for homebuyers to afford a mortgage. These actions and many others are further proof that Republican leaders in Washington don't care about the American people and are only looking out for their wealthy friends."
There were fewer four-letter words in that statement, but it's part of a continuum of Trump-era Democratic rhetoric. In 2016, the party learned that voters really did not mind if a candidate was rough or profane. It cost a few voters; to more, it came across as toughness. Democrats no longer shame voters for putting up with Trump's rhetoric. They portray him as a phony who didn't earn his victory and is betraying the voters who trusted him. They don't know if this will work. But they're sure as s--- going to try.

The second round hasn't been kind to the Jets in the past 40 years.
Only two of the team's 37 second-round picks in the past 41 years have made a Pro Bowl. Defensive end Mark Gastineau, who was drafted in 1979, did it, as did return specialist Justin Miller, who was drafted in 2005.
Joe Douglas already has the 11th overall pick to work with, but he'll make or break his first draft as the Jets' general manager in the later rounds.
The second-round bar is low for Douglas after a plethora of failures since the Jets drafted Gastineau. A brief glance at the recent second-rounders includes 18 players who started fewer than 20 games for the Jets, nine of which started fewer than five games. Meanwhile, only seven started more than 60 games in their career.
Not a great group.
The Jets' success stories from the second round are few and far between.
Linebacker David Harris is probably the Jets' best second-round pick after Gastineau. He played 10 seasons with the Jets and wracked up over 1,000 tackles in New York.
The jury is still out on safety Marcus Maye, who's started all 38 games he's played in since the Jets took him 39th overall in 2017. He's been a complement to Jamal Adams in the deep secondary but is also injury prone.
The busts, meanwhile, are plentiful.
Quarterbacks Geno Smith and Christian Hackenberg, as well as receivers Devin Smith and Stephen Hill, are the most recent notable mistakes. Hackenberg never even saw the field in the regular season despite his high selection, while Smith and Hill combined for 60 receptions, 842 yards and six touchdowns in 43 games.
The Jets have drafted mostly wide receivers, offensive lineman and defensive backs in the second round. Ironically, all are still positions of need. Douglas will have his pick of a deep receiver and lineman class and many mocks predict the Jets will take one of those two positions with the 48th overall pick. The other position will be the first-round pick. Players like tackle Isaiah Wilson and receivers Laviska Shenault and Michael Pittman Jr. should be among the Jets' second-round targets.
Douglas himself has had mixed results in identifying and drafting talented players in the second round.
Tight end Dallas Goedert and running back Miles Sanders were great pick-ups for the Eagles during Douglas' time as vice president of player personnel with the Eagles, but defensive back Sidney Jones and receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside haven't panned out yet. As a scout with the Ravens for 14 years, he helped Ozzie Newsome grab players like Torrey Smith and Ray Rice in the second round. The Bears also drafted defensive tackle Eddie Goldman – who only has 12.5 sacks in five years – when Douglas was the director of college scouting for Chicago in 2015.
The best use of a Jets' second-round pick in the past five years was actually the trade that landed New York the No. 3 overall pick in 2018 that resulted in Sam Darnold. The Jets moved up from No. 6 to No. 3 by giving the Colts their second-round pick in 2018 and their two second-rounders in 2019. Darnold still has a ways to go before becoming the franchise quarterback the Jets hope he can be, but he's still better than what the Jets probably would have used with those three second-round picks.
With so many holes on the roster, the second round will be crucial for Douglas and the Jets. They can't whiff again if they want to see Darnold progress. Douglas' background in scouting and experience with successful franchises gives him a leg up on the Jets' past general managers, but it's impossible to predict how the draft board will fall and how the players will fit on Adam Gase's team.

These days criminals come in all shapes and sizes. The worst part is they are almost always unidentifiable; unless you know where and how to look. If you have the connections and know how you can find anyone anywhere. Some criminals steal a wallet or break into a home; others take advantage of billions of people even killing some in the process. They will make their fortunes at the cost of anything and anyone. They do not care and for the sake of us all it will take action to create a change in how things work. For the group known as "The East", the basic rule is "An eye for an eye."
The East is considered a group of extremist Eco- terrorists who create havoc for those who they consider harmful to the planet and the people inhabiting the same planet. It is their self- made mission to attack three major corporations within a year in order to create awareness among the masses that these corporations are in it for themselves and will sacrifice whoever they must to reach their goal. The rich only have the goal of making themselves wealthier than the day before. After monitoring this group of Eco extremists a highly elite security company sends in an undercover agent to infiltrate this group and discover what they have planned. This security company protects many of the clients that this group is attacking and so they send in Sarah (Brit Marling) to hopefully discover and possibly foil their plans.
Unfortunately for this security company, time is against them. Every moment that passes in another moment that shows Sarah the true nature of things and how in many ways this group is in the right; these companies must be held accountable. Eventually Sarah will be faced with a decision; will she expose and lock up this group? Or will she help take these corporations of money hungry monsters down? In the beginning she thought she knew true north; as she sees the atrocities these companies are committing she begins to see that maybe true north is a little more east.
I have to say that my interest in this seemed to waver quite a bit as the trailer didn't really show what kind of movie this wanted to be. Is it a horror film, a political drama? I thought I would give it a chance regardless and I have to say that it came out pretty decent. I feel that certain aspects could have been altered a bit such as the relationship between Sarah and Benji (Alexander Skarsgard) was too much the focus of the film. I think it should have focused more on her relationship with the entire group and her acceptance of things to come. While this is addressed more often than not it focuses on this physical attraction between Sarah and Benji. I just felt that it was unneeded filler to create a longer running time. Her moral dilemma should be whether she will join this group or take them down, not does she love this hippie.
This showcases some decent performances from some both familiar faces and new ones; such as Ellen Page who plays Izzy, the gung-ho activist without fear; when things go bad she starts to show her true face which is filled with fear. As mentioned before Brit Marling is in the lead, her name may not be familiar but she has starred in such films as Another Earth (Great film), The Company You Keep as well as the T.V. comedy series Community. I also must mention that not only does she star but also helped write the screenplay for The East. Alexander Skarsgard is the sort- of leader of The East as well as the useless love interest to Sarah; he of course must have a shirtless scene… or ten. I think that's in his contract or something.
In the end what could have been a great commentary on the current nature of how things work in the world of big business and how it affects people both positively and negatively ends up being kind of unsure in its finality. Nothing is really accomplished at least in a way that can be considered a good result. People die and it doesn't really matter, it should though. This was a decent enough film but it has a lot of problems keeping it from being even remotely memorable.
I just wanted to add that Ridley Scott as well as his late brother Tony Scott helped as producers of the film. In a way this was Tony's last film before his untimely passing, I'm glad and saddened that I can say I saw the last project he was involved in. He was a filmmaker I truly admired and looked up to and will miss his work greatly, RIP Sir.

LIFE WITHOUT BEN:** The Steelers are entering another stretch without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (knee) with a firm idea of what they'd like their offense to be able to accomplish.
"Get the ball to No. 84 (wide receiver Antonio Brown), No. 26 (running back Le'Veon Bell) and everybody else, score some touchdowns," wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey said.
Bell has a grasp on how the Steelers need to proceed with Landry Jones replacing Roethlisberger.
"When we're in the game we're going to take it one play at a time, take it real slow," Bell said. "We're obviously going to have our downs and our ups in a game. We have to be patient, let things come to us, not try to do too much."
Individually and collectively.
"I'm going to listen to the play calls and go out there and play football," Bell added. "This is a team sport. I'm going to go out there and try to make my fair share of plays, do whatever it takes for us to win the game. When I get the rock I'm going to try to make a play, put the ball in the end zone, do whatever I gotta do."
LANDRY DAY:** The Steelers saw from Jones in his first practice running the offense what they wanted to see and what they'll need to see on Sunday against the Patriots.
"He's catching on to the huddle right now, he's processing everything and they're calling stuff he's comfortable with," guard Ramon Foster said. "He's grabbing the huddle's attention and he's executing the plays that are given to him.
"Landry just sits back, plays behind Ben and collects his check. Now, he's gotta earn his check this week."
Wide receiver Eli Rogers said Jones will work as hard as necessary in preparation.
"He comes out every day and works hard," Rogers said. "He's a hard-working guy. He makes good decisions. He has a strong arm but he also has a nice touch. He has a nice, tight spiral so it's easy to catch.
"Obviously, we've been with Ben this whole time but we all understand that Landry's a good quarterback. He comes out and practices hard every day. He's always trying to get better."
Added tight end Xavier Grimble: "I like Landry. I've played with him a lot. Last year I played with him a lot and even this year I've always gotten a ton of reps with Landry.
"He's a good quarterback. He has all the intangibles. He has a big arm, a nice touch, good vision and I think he puts the ball in good spots. Just like anybody else in this building, we have confidence in anybody that's here."
The Steelers prepare for the week 7 matchup against the New England Patriots.
THE GRONKOWSKI PROBLEM:** Linebacker Ryan Shazier (knee) was a limited participant in practice and remained uncertain as to whether he'd be available to help cover Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who had a career-high 162 receiving yards and a TD in New England's 35-17 win over Cincinnati last Sunday.
"He's arguably the best tight end in the league," Shazier said. "They have (Martellus) Bennett, he's a great tight end, also. It's fun to play against those guys and do whatever you can to stop them.
"It's right up my alley, but I just do whatever the coaches tell me to do. If I have to guard him, I guard him; if I don't, I don't. It's going to be a great challenge for the whole defense and even for me. It's going to be fun to get out there and play against those guys and see what happens."
If Shazier gets out there and plays against those guys.
"We'll see," he said.
