10. Frank's Pretty Woman (s7e1)
"Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?"
The season 7 premiere, this episode is a real turning point for the show, a shining beacon of things to come. And what does it have? Blood vomit, crack, foot fetishists, dead prostitutes, and the stunning and basically unexplained reveal that Mac has gotten fat. Like really, noticeably fat. 50 to 60 pounds, to be precise. Just because Rob McElhenney thought it'd be funny. In several ways, this episode reaches new heights of grossness, shamelessness, and weirdness, and it's amazing. The gang dragging poor dead Roxy out into the hall and then running away to the tune of "Pretty Woman" is a hell of a tone-setter. Dennis is right — by this point, they've become the gross crew. And it's perfect.
9. The Gang Turns Black (s12e1)
"Guess we got that in common, huh kid? Oh, unless he knows his dad! Oh shoot, that was racist."
If this were a ranking of most ambitious episodes, "Turns Black" would be right at the top. It's an indictment of racism in America. It's a reminder from the writers that the views expressed by the gang do not necessarily reflect their views. It's a legitimate musical with ten original songs. It's a Scott Bakula vehicle. There's a hell of a lot going on in this episode, and it didn't necessarily have to come together. But it does, and it does it admirably. As social commentary in Always Sunny goes, this is as thinly veiled as it gets. But that's okay, because it's a stance that's worth taking, especially in a show where it's tempting to mistake satire for glorification. "The Gang Turns Black" is a hell of a season premier that comes out swinging. The fact that it's the twelfth season premier is just evidence of the show's continued freshness and incredible staying power.
8. Charlie Kelly: King of the Rats (s6e10)
"I doubt Charlie can even say the word luau."
Always Sunny is not known for its heart. Usually chaos and selfishness reign, and I for one wouldn't have it any other way. But one unexpected advantage of the constant mean-spiritedness is the huge emotional payoff that comes with the rare moments of genuine warmth. One of these moments comes at the end of "King of the Rats," when the gang accidentally and reluctantly throw Charlie the perfect birthday party… even though it's not his birthday. Adding to the charm (and also softening its edges, because we don't want to get too soppy) is the gang's bewildered interpretation of Charlie's Dream Book. Charlie's illiteracy will never not be funny. But seeing it brought to life and judged by him is hilarious in an endearing way I never thought possible.
7. The Gang Tends Bar (s12e8)
"Frank's gonna leave me for Jerry, man."
While we're on the subject of rare warmth on Always Sunny, there is no episode warmer than "The Gang Tends Bar." Frank and Charlie have a moment of jealousy turned to reconciliation. Dee and Charlie have a musical moment that strongly suggests their spark in the "The Gang Misses the Boat" was not a one-time occurrence. And Mac and Dennis have the most touching moment of all, made so gratifying by the years of insistence that Dennis doesn't have feelings, finally quashed once and for all in a meltdown that is so unlike Dennis, a man known for meltdowns. It's a wonderfully genuine look at the way the gang depend upon each other for all the right reasons, in a way the antithesis of "The Gang Misses the Boat." But on top of that, it's a tightly and expertly written episode, one that manages to stay true to the heart of the show while exploring uncharted depths. The many threads running throughout — the mystery of the crate, Frank's tapeworm Jerry, the anthrax scare — are all so seemingly simple yet carefully doled out to achieve a series of very sweet and satisfying climaxes.
6. The Gang Tries Desperately to Win an Award (s9e3)
"Let the record show / The greatest place to go / Is that bar called Paddy's Pub"
This isn't a metaphor for winning an Emmy. Definitely not. Where did you hear that? By far the show's most self-aware episode, "Award" is a fantastic send-up of modern tv that's still cheerfully self-deprecating. Like "Old Lady House," it's a fun instance of Always Sunny playing dress up, a unique chance to see it as it never was and never will be. And of course, it's the showcase for two new Charlie Kelly original songs that may rival Nightman itself. When Charlie sings "Go Fuck Yourself" and the gang chase the award committee out of the bar, spitting, you can't help but feel proud to still be there with them in the end. So what if it's just a bunch of people yelling over each other? I like life at Paddy's Pub.
5. The Gang Misses the Boat (s10e6)
"I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!"
Sometimes it's not about the boat at all. A tried and true theme of Always Sunny is the gang's dependence upon each other. It's rare that all five are in on the same scheme, but they're almost always in twos and threes. Their plans may not work out, but at least they have each other. "The Gang Misses the Boat" addresses the serious question: How would these people function on their own? The answer is not well. Frank destroys three strangers' lives, Mac retreats even further into the closet, and Dennis' rage knows no bounds. But the same doesn't hold true for Charlie and Dee, whose freedom from the group blossoms into newfound self confidence and, in one of the show's few real shocks, romance. (A certain Valentine's Day episode strongly hints that that romance is still going strong in season 12). "Misses the Boat" has some beautiful moments (Dennis' Golden God meltdown and Frank's Man-Cheetah are just the tip of the iceberg) but the real pleasure comes from seeing the gang as we've never seen them before and understanding what that means. It turns out their enabling codependency has actually been keeping their worst (and best) impulses in check. Their desperation to get back to the old times of rum ham and no questions is at once heartening and just a little sad.
4. Charlie Work (s10e4)
"Steaks? This is a chicken and air mile and steak scam now?"
In terms of technical excellence and sheer artistic joy, nothing even approaches "Charlie Work." Competent Charlie is my favorite Charlie, and the lengths to which he goes in this episode (and, it's implied, on a regular basis) are spectacular. The episode walks a delicate line, making sure that Charlie is on top of things only in a very particular, Charlie-specific way. He's not actually good at keeping a clean bar, but goddamn is he good at making it seem like he does. The smoke detector ruse, dependent upon the unaddressed but brilliant revelation that Charlie has perfect pitch, is genius. The payoff of a jet black Frank opening his eyes after playing G# on a recorder is a strong contender for the best moment of the show. And the implication that Charlie has just incorporated Frank's bizarre insistence on painting himself into the plan is a testament to the artistry of the script, one that carefully intertwines every element to create a beautiful chaotic dance. "Charlie Work" is funny, of course, but it's also a real artistic feat that would be right at home in a more classically "sophisticated" show. It's a demonstration of what Always Sunny is capable of, and it's an absolute joy to watch.
3. Hero or Hate Crime? (s12e6)
"The Ass Pounder 4000 — Never Stop Pumping"
From the initial setup — everyone is loitering on the same street as a piano is hoisted over the sidewalk and conspicuous music plays — it's clear that this episode is gearing up to do something unusual. And it does. A remarkable and uncensored examination of the power of language as only the gang could deliver it, "Hero or Hate Crime?" is a frank look at some of the very problematic themes that have gotten Always Sunny where it is today, and the acceptance that it might be time to move on. (If you're in the mood for a too-long essay I wrote on the subject, then click here). It's also responsible for one of the show's very rare but cathartic moments of genuine heart, as after 12 years of steadily mounting gay jokes, Mac comes out once and for all to his friends. For an already stellar episode, it's a final moment of immense payoff that really pushes it over the edge. It's an episode that offers so much, and it delivers it masterfully.
2. Mac Finds His Pride (s13e10)
"Oh my God. I get it."
If you want to read my much more involved take on this episode, click here. Or check out One Perfect Shot, where I tweet stills from it as often as Neil will let me. But if you just want a basic rundown, then heed my words of wisdom here instead. "Mac Finds His Pride" is a total game changer, the bravest thing ever attempted by a show already known for taking big creative risks. For the first three quarters it's a funny enough, middle-of-the pack episode that plays off of grotesque humor and generational and cultural misunderstandings. But the final five minutes, a deadly serious performance between Mac and professional dancer Kylie Shea, is absolutely stunning. It's a conclusion of 13 years of mounting jokes about Mac's sexuality that is wholly unexpected and unequivocally beautiful. Whether this ushers in a new era of artistry in the 14th season, or exists as a standalone phenomenon, remains to be seen. Either way, it's audacious, ferociously brave, and nigh-on perfect.
1. The Nightman Cometh (s4e13)
"I feel like you're saying 'boy's hole'… and it's clearly 'soul.'"
If this isn't your favorite episode, I don't know what to tell you. If you've actually sifted through the list and didn't just rocket down to number one, you may have noticed that I have a bias for newer, experimental episodes that subvert or play with the show's well-established themes. But I'll still choose "Nightman" every time. It's the perfect episode. The spectacle of Charlie's play is amazing, of course. The music is surprisingly good, the production value is unsurprisingly not, and the gang's enthusiasm is contagious. But Charlie's unexpected entrance as the Dayman is transcendent. I believe Rational Charlie is Funniest Charlie, and he builds up a decent amount of sympathy over the course of the episode as he tries to herd cats and put on the show of his dreams. So there's nothing quite like the loss of all that good will as he descends from the ceiling singing an octave too high to propose to the Waitress.
It's true — nobody writes a musical for no reason. But because Charlie did, the world is a much better place.

First Battery fixtures set as USL unveil home opener schedule
USL have gone a short ways to lift the lid on the 2017 season, announcing the league's full slate of home openers for the new campaign on Friday evening.
The Battery will welcome FC Cincinnati to MUSC Health Stadium on March 25th. We'll kick off 2017, our 25th season, as we did 2016, when we played Cincy in their first ever USL match. The two sides also met in the playoffs last season, in what ended up being a dramatic win for the Black and Yellow.
The Battery also know the date of a second fixture, as they travel to Charlotte on the first of April. The sides compete in the Southern Derby Cup, which the Battery took home last season.
The full schedule, at time of writing, still hasn't been released, though it's nice for team and fans alike to have some insight on how the season will begin. There are less than two months to go until the season begins, and less than a month until the 2017 edition of the Carolina Challenge Cup.
Be sure to check back here for updates as we continue into the home stretch until the new season.

Justin Bieber battling rare virus causing facial paralysis: 'This is pretty serious as you can see'
Justin Bieber shared a scary health update on Friday after postponing dates of his world tour earlier this week. In an Instagram video, Bieber revealed that half of his face is paralyzed as he's been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a rare virus that affects nerves in the face and ear.
"As you can see, this eye is not blinking. I can't smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move. So there's full paralysis in this side of my face," Bieber shares. "So for those who are frustrated with my cancellation of the next shows, I'm just physically obviously not capable of doing them. This is pretty serious, as you can see. I wish this wasn't the case, but obviously my body's telling me I gotta slow down."
According to Mayo Clinic, Ramsay Hunt syndrome occurs in people who've had chickenpox. Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a shingles outbreak that affects the facial nerve near one of a person's ears. It's more common in older adults, usually affecting people over 60.
"I gotta go get my rest on so that I can get my face back to where it's supposed to be. I love you guys," Bieber continued. "And I'm gonna get better and I'm doing all these facial exercises to get my face back to normal — it will go back to normal. It's just time. We don't know how much time it's gonna be, but it's gonna be OK."
It's been a challenging few months for the Biebers. Earlier this year, Hailey Bieber was hospitalized after suffering stroke-like symptoms. Doctors discovered a small blood clot in her brain. Luckily, the 25-year-old model made a full recovery.

Here are some of the best exercise balls that you can purchase to incorporate into your workout.

Benefits of Exercise Balls
For starters, you can find a durable exercise ball for a good price. They generally extremely inexpensive—especially compared to other pieces of equipment, like kettlebells, dumbbells, and machines like treadmills. Exercise balls add an element of stability to every exercise you perform with them, so it's important that you have good balance and stabilization before incorporating one into your routine. This tool changes the proprioception or equilibrium and sense of the body's location and position during a motion. Think of it as an added challenge; Instead of just doing a push-up, now you have to stabilize your core, to balance on the exercise ball to be able to perform the push-up properly. Exercise balls can also help you with rehab or even just improving flexibility if you use it to perform stretches and body weight movements.
How To Pick an Exercise Ball
Deciding which exercise ball to pick may seem easy but there are a couple things you need to think about. First is the size of the ball. Consider which exercises you want to do with it—are you looking to lay on it for crunches and unstable bench press, or are you hoping to squeeze it between your leg and glutes for Pilates exercises? Depending on what you want it for will help you decide which size to purchase. Next, you want to be sure you're getting a ball made out of a durable material, so be sure you find out what the ball is made of, and look into any warranty it may have if anything happens to it. Lastly, decide if you want the ball to come with any extras like a workout chat, exercise videos, or maybe even just a stand.
Other Exercise Balls to Consider

Trauma — physical, emotional, psychological — has come on our radar more and more in recent days. We talk about mental health, and we should. But mental health very rarely can be discussed without also working through trauma.
Take a moment and check out this new documentary film entitled The Wisdom of Trauma.
Perhaps we should not be so "concerned with fixing behaviors, making diagnoses, suppressing symptoms and judging, but seek instead to understand the sources from which troubling behaviors and diseases spring in the wounded human soul."

This recipe is surely to delight those of us who love potted meat. Many health conscious people may not choose to eat potted meat or other canned meat products on a regular basis. Nevertheless, it is nice to treat oneself. And a lot of things are okay if done in moderation. Therefore, people need to establish for themselves, a balance in their eating habits. For each of our bodies act differently to certain food groups. And most of us are aware of the fact that a lot of canned meats have a lot of sodium added. People that need to watch their sodium intake may not want to eat very many canned meat products. But if they choose to, this is a delicious recipe.
- (1-2) (3oz.) Cans of (Hormel) Potted Meat (Food Product)
- (1/2 to 3/4) Cup of (Gold Medal) (Self-Rising) Flour
- (3/4 to 1) Cup of (Reduced Fat) Milk (More or less) can be added, warm water can be used in place of milk, or part of both
- Salt and Pepper - The use of salt and pepper is optional. A salt substitute can be used in place of the salt. Garlic powder can be used for additional seasoning, and will help aid in lowering cholesterol.
Products to Have on Hand:
- (Pure Wesson) Vegetable Oil and (Bertolli) (Extra Virgin) Olive Oil
- (1/4 to 1/2) Cup of Oil (Combine both oils)
1Make sure that all products needed are at your convenience. Be sure to sift the flour or use a fork to check for lumps. Any salt or salt substitute, pepper, or garlic powder can be directly added to sifted flour. Have flour pre-measured and set aside. The same step applies to the oil, and the milk or water. Be sure to place the skillet on the burner of the stove.
2Set the burner that's underneath the skillet on a medium setting, allowing the oil to get extremely hot. A person can test to see if it is hot enough by adding a little flour. If the flour sizzles it is time to begin preparing the gravy.
3Add flour a little at a time, while constantly stirring. Allow the gravy to become lightly brown before moving on to the next step.
- Add milk or milk and water mixture slowly while stirring with fork until you have reach the desired consistency
4Reduce the heat and slowly add in the potted meat as soon as the gravy has reached the desired thickness. Be sure to continue stirring while allowing the gravy to simmer once the potted meat has been added.
5Remove it from the heat and serve hot, when the gravy is ready, or allow it to cool.
Expert Q&A
If eating anything that has an excessive amount of sodium, be sure to drink lots of water.⧼thumbs_response⧽

Using a cast iron skillet is highly recommended.⧼thumbs_response⧽
- Do not use oil or oils in excess. Someone should carefully think out how much gravy that they're intending on making, such as is it for one, two or more people. The goal is to taste the gravy and not the oil. Allow just enough oil to soak up the flour. In order to reach the field goal with this recipe,⧼thumbs_response⧽

I like Dan Mitchell. He's a great economist. Sometimes, I wish he'd word things a bit different, but, that's a matter of taste, I suppose.
In his latest, he makes a mockery of some of Krugman's latest idiotic assertions …..
Another "Oops" Moment for Paul Krugman
I'm tempted to feel a certain degree of sympathy for Paul Krugman.
As a leading proponent of the notion that bigger government stimulates growth (a.k.a., Keynesian economics), he's in the rather difficult position of rationalizing why the economy was stagnant when Obama first took office and the burden of government spending was rising. …..
He goes on to talk about the US, but, that's not the money shot ….. this is.
In other words, Krugman actually is being slippery and misleading in his analysis of American austerity.
But that's nothing compared to his analysis of so-called austerity on the other side of the…

As part of the nursing process, it is important to monitor and reassess residents after a change in condition is identified and a new care plan initiated. Monitoring the resident is essential to preventing their condition from worsening. Reassessment provides the opportunity to review the care plan and compare the assessment data to ensure the nursing interventions are still the most appropriate for the clinical situation. Leadership can support the capacity of staff in monitoring and reassessing the resident after a change in condition is identified by building a system that provides a fail-safe for these activities.
Comagine Health has launched a six-part affinity group series that explores the nuances of early detection of and intervention for changes in resident condition, and reinforces the link between staff resiliency and patient safety, specifically focusing on how interventions that prioritize the well-being of both residents and staff members often lead to the best outcomes. The webinars are unrecorded open forums to facilitate sharing and innovation.
On June 11, a group of providers from about 30 long-term and post-acute care facilities attended the fourth session, "Monitoring and Reassessing the Resident," where they offered their tips, tools and best practices regarding this fundamental component of providing quality care. Additionally, teams explored the importance of fostering a culture that supports psychological safety. Comagine Health has compiled their feedback and created a resource for your facility to reference.
As the series goes on, we will continue to curate the insights gained from these affinity group discussions, which will include session highlights, practice ideas from partners and actionable next steps you can bring back to your staff to begin growing skills and making improvements.
Don't miss our next session in the Looking Beyond COVID-19: Detecting Change in Resident Condition and the Impact of Staff Resiliency series on July 9: Documenting Interventions and Resident Response to Care.

Via Hypocrisy In The UK:
Oh dear, dear me, the evils of vice and corruption! The Daily Telegraph spells out the newest moral quandary of the British NHS below.
Doctors at British clinics have been secretly filmed agreeing to terminate foetuses purely because they are either male or female. Clinicians admitted they were prepared to falsify paperwork to arrange the abortions even though it is illegal to conduct such "sex-selection" procedures. Andrew Lansley, the Health Secretary, said: "I'm extremely concerned to hear about these allegations. Sex selection is illegal and is morally wrong. I've asked my officials to investigate this as a matter of urgency."
Got that? Taxpayer-funded killing of innocent but unwanted human beings is morally acceptable for any reason except gender selection.
The Wintery Knight lists some good (by which I mean bad) quotes from related articles:
Another consultant, Claudine Domoney, who works with 132 Healthwise clinic in Harley Street, central London, agreed to arrange for a woman to abort a boy after being told that she and her husband already had a son from his first marriage. The practice is known as "family balancing".
In a consultation room in the Chelsea and Westminster hospital, the woman, who was about 18 weeks pregnant, explained her reasons for the termination "It's a boy, and that's the reason, we don't want to have a second boy."
Scientific fact: They already have two boys. One is just "safely" located in her womb. They have two, but only want one, so they plan to kill the second one — at taxpayer expense, of course! Because Liberals think it is a human right to be able to kill some unwanted human beings.
"It's obviously taken a little bit of time to decide this?" asked Miss Domoney, in reference to the fact that the woman was 18 weeks pregnant.
Well, gee, if you took a long to think about killing an unwanted human being I guess that makes it OK.
The vast majority of gender selection abortions kill female human beings for the sole reason that they are female human beings. This puts feminists in a quandry, but they love unrestricted abortion so much that they can never clearly denounce gender selection abortions. They realize that fighting these would lead to an obvious question: If killing an unwanted human being because of gender is wrong, why is killing because of education, career, love life, economics, etc.?

Written, Produced, and Directed by Larry Cohen
In an attempt to change the course of his directorial career away from being known only as a genre specialist, Larry Cohen tried his hand at a sweeping biopic. The choice of the late FBI director gave him plenty of sensationalistic material to work with. After watching the film, perhaps it was too much material, as the story is stuffed with historical figures, infamous scandals, violent shootouts, blackmail, and a romantic subplot. Despite the constant threat of the film to collapse under its own weight, Cohen finds a consistent through-line in Hoover's paranoia and contradictions that makes the film oddly fascinating even as it sometimes feels like random moments and scenes are just being thrown at the screen in hopes that something will stick.
The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover is told in flashback by former FBI agent Dwight Webb (a young and almost unrecognizable Rip Torn). Webb is hired by reporter Dave Hindley (John Marley) to dig up the dirt on the recently deceased Hoover's personal and professional life. Still angry at the Bureau for his firing after twenty years of service because of his affair with a female employee, Webb happily accepts the job.
The flashbacks start with Hoover (played as a younger man by James Wainwright and as an older man by Broderick Crawford) working as a legal clerk at the Bureau during the time when it was best known as an embarrassing part of the Teapot Dome scandal. Sickened by the corruption and morally repulsed by the behavior it breeds among the men who work in the Bureau, Hoover initially makes a name for himself by over-stepping his duties and spearheading the arrest of hundreds of Italian immigrants suspected of being Communists. When he discovers the immigrants are not going to be given due-process and simply deported, he is horrified and takes his fight for their rights to the Attorney General only to lose. Impressed by Hoover's integrity, the Attorney General offers him the position of FBI director. With no law enforcement experience and at only 29 years of age, Hoover is seen as an unqualified choice, but is also believed to be squeaky clean and easy to manipulate in the first of the film's many ironies.
While the film traces his rise from a man who still lives with his mother to the most-feared man in America, it touches on his near paranoid sexual repression, the positive and negative changes he made to the FBI, his hypocrisy when it came to corrupt government officials, and the many personal vendettas he nursed as his trusted inner-circle grew smaller. It's an enormous story, but Cohen tells it with energy and a refreshing fidelity to historical accuracy.
A large chunk of the story is given over to Hoover's relationships with three men—no, I don't mean those kinds of relationships.
Actually, the first relationship is with two men: John Dillinger (Reno Carrel) and Melvin Purvis (Michael Sacks). Driven by a desire to take away the mythologizing press given to Dillinger and put it on himself, he turns to FBI Agent Purvis to stop Dillinger once and for all. In a scene leading up to Dillinger's killing, Hoover even jokes about the man's upcoming death. When Purvis and his men gun down Dillinger, the agent gets much of the attention from the press, infuriating Hoover. When Purvis leaves the FBI and opens his own private detective agency, Hoover sees to it that he is unable to get clients, eventually driving the former agent to drastic measures in a harrowing scene.
The second relationship that fuels the film comes from Hoover's adversarial time working under Robert Kennedy (Michael Parks). Annoyed by the young Attorney General's efforts to reign in Hoover's power and show him who's boss, he uses threats of personal blackmail to not only gain back all his power, but also to drive a wedge between the Kennedy family and Dr. Martin Luther King (Raymond St. Jacques) by forcing the younger Kennedy to authorize wire taps and surveillance of the civil rights leader. While Hoover uses the excuse of King's possible connection to communist groups as an excuse for the surveillance, he is shown in actuality to only want incriminating information against a man whom he sees as yet another possible threat to his power.
The final relationship is the one with the potential to be the most inflammatory. Clyde Tolson (Dan Dailey) was Hoover's bodyguard and constant companion for over three decades. Since the two showed no real interest in women and were rarely without the others company, rumors floated about a possible homosexual relationship. Cohen never tips his hand if the two men had romantic feelings for each other that they were afraid to express, but he does make the case that nothing sexual ever happened between them. This makes sense, especially when the Hoover shown in the rest of the film is so paranoid about protecting secrets and gathering information on others. It goes to reason he would never expose himself in such a manner to those he considered his enemies (a list that grows ever longer as Hoover ages). Instead of being a source of psycho-sexual drama, Hoover's relationship with Tolson is portrayed as the most human he had. The two are shown never really wanting anything more from each other than companionship. In an odd way, it's a touching subplot that allows Cohen and Crawford to bring Hoover at least a few redeeming elements.
But just because Cohen does not take the easy bait when it comes to the relationship between Hoover and Tolson, he is not afraid to delve into the man's sexually repressive nature. Two scenes have Hoover being seduced by women. In the first scene, he hides his disgust behind paranoia, leveling accusations of a setup. In the second scene, when he is older and more powerful, he is unafraid to simply walk out on the encounter, growling his moral disapproval at the entire idea of sex. Not only is he offended people would want to have sex with him, he disapproves of it in the case of everyone else in the movie, punishing agents for reading Playboy or engaging in sexual relationships outside of marriage. Unfortunately, Cohen never tries to form a theory for why Hoover is so repressed.
Perhaps the reason Cohen never tried to get to the root of Hoover's discomfort with sex is because the movie presents him as a man who is simply unknowable. There is a huge gulf between what he professes to believe and how he acts. He calls into question the legality of wiretaps when President Roosevelt (Howard Da Silva) wants to use them, but becomes reliant on them to gather information on people of power. He obsesses over the appearance and moral behavior of his agents, but he is overweight and enjoys liquor and gambling on horse races. He decries the favorable press that criminals get during the Great Depression, but he hires his own press agent and sets up staged arrests to personally make in front of reporters. In short, the man is portrayed as the ultimate hypocrite, but if he realized he was acting in a hypocritical manner it's never made clear.
As much of this uncertainty about Hoover's actions comes from Crawford's performance as Cohen's screenplay. Crawford uses his gruff way of spitting out dialogue to find humor in tragedy. He plays him as a man who understands what people fear and how to use that fear to manipulate them. It's perhaps the largest contradiction in the character that he knows how to psychologically maneuver people to bend to his will, but that he is not aware how alien he behaves in casual social situations, becoming especially uncomfortable going anywhere without Tolson for company. It's telling that one of the few times in the film he is shown on his own in a public situation, he proceeds to unwittingly horrify his waiter when he feels he is doing the man a favor by revealing how much he knows about his family. The scene is also a hilarious bit of squirm-inducing comedy before going to the dark places of secrets and blackmail that Hoover finds more comfortable.
Beyond Crawford's excellent anchor performance, the cast is uniformly solid. Dailey is sympathetic and brings a stoic presence to the potentially thin role of Tolson. Parks (perhaps best known for his role as Texas Ranger Earl McGraw in multiple Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez films) is a revelation as Robert Kennedy. While he does not bear a strong resemblance to the late Attorney General (and falls into the same trap of many actors by going overboard on the Boston accent), he shares the same slight build and is boyishly handsome, exuding a playboy confidence bordering on arrogance. He also displays a striking vulnerability that stands in stark contrast to his obvious intelligence.
The film really does boast the best cast Cohen ever put together. Beyond the leads, the supporting roles are filled with veteran scene-stealers and familiar faces. In any given scene, actors like Torn, Marley, Wainwright, José Ferrer, Celeste Holm, Ronee Blakley, George Plimpton, and Cohen regulars June Havoc, Andrew Duggan, William Wellman Jr., and James Dixon pop up to lend some color and shading to important characters in a small amount of screen time. Many of these actors bring with them personalities that audiences carry over from other films, allowing Cohen to use them as a form of storytelling shorthand.
As much as I really like the film, I was slightly frustrated with Cohen's inability to turn individually brilliant scenes and performances into one great story. The plot races from one famous historical incident to the next while occasionally pausing to provide some shading to Hoover's personal life. While it is impressive that Cohen is able to fit in so much story in a film running just under two hours, I would not have minded if the film ran ten minutes longer and allowed certain scenes to breathe a little.
Surprisingly, considering there is very little use of special effects, the seams show a little more in this film than in some of Cohen's other low-budget indies. While he makes good use of locations and maintains a more-or-less consistent level of period details, Cohen has trouble integrating footage shot on sets. Many of these scenes look cheap and haphazard when put up against a scene shot in the actual Justice Department building or FBI headquarters.
Even if The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover fails to fully come together to be as great as some of its best scenes, it is a fascinating picture with a frightening and humorous central performance by Crawford. It plays in the muddy ethical waters of politics and shows that no one can come out clean—no matter if they are just doing their job or bending every rule in the book to build and maintain power. In Cohen's view, Hoover was no better or worse than the politicians he punished or the ones who tried to punish him. That is probably the scariest message the film can send about our government.
James Dixon Sighting: As one of Hoover's fellow clerks during the Bureau's early years.

Southwest Voices seeks to bring news, connection to Minneapolis neighborhoods
Southwest Minneapolis is getting a new hyper-local site.
Driving the news: Southwest Voices, a news source meant to help fill the void created when the Southwest Journal newspaper folded at the end of 2020, is now live, Axios has learned.
The big picture: Nationally, local outlets are struggling to stay afloat. But the Twin Cities is proving an exception to the trend, supporting a robust — and growing — media ecosystem.
- While some publications have shut down, a handful of new outlets — Racket, Sahan Journal, The Reformer and us here at Axios Twin Cities — have launched since 2019. The Star Tribune maintains one of the nation's largest print newspaper subscriber bases for a metro daily.
What to expect: Southwest Voices will focus on news, information and events for close to two dozen neighborhoods in its coverage zone. Users will be able to sort and follow news by community.
- Think local association and planning meeting agendas and recaps, business spotlights and more.
- It's free, but a membership option will be available. The business model will also rely on ads from local businesses and, eventually, events.
Behind the launch: The site is founded by Charlie Rybak, a political and digital media strategist, and Andrew Haeg, an American Public Media alum who founded GroundSource, a texting platform focused on newsrooms and nonprofits.
- Of note: Rybak is the son of former Mayor RT Rybak.
What they're saying: The founders told Axios they want to create a community-led source for reliable news and information that promotes civic engagement — without the conflict and negativity that plagues some social media groups and platforms.
- "A lot of people have a lot to say about Minneapolis. But it's really important for the people of Minneapolis to be able to tell their own story," Rybak said.
What's next: Southwest Voices is hiring an editor and a civic producer/ news organizer for the site.
- They'll start publishing stories online later this month, with a newsletter expected to go live Oct. 4.

(AllHipHop Rumors) Bow Wow has been in the game since he was a baby – literally. He's been very successful on a number of levels. Recently, he was unsuccessful. Somebody jumped in and clocked Shad over some remarks he made about Future. A straight up sneak attack! Bow Wow took a punch from Cheeks Bossman! Who the hell is that? I heard he is a Piru Blood, which ain't somebody you want to play with. What is crazy is I have seen Bow Wow recently rolling with a number of Bloods. I guess it was a different set.
It happened all so fast and unclear. Bow Weezy is a buck 50 soaking wet with sweats on. It ain't right. What did he do? Bow Wow's ex and baby moms Joie Chavis is now doing Future. Or was. Anyway, at the time Shad got in his feelings. He said, "[I] Had your girl in the islands 'and you aint een know it' but she kissing you with the same mouth… never mind hahaha #sucker."
Needless to say, he paid for that with a knuckle sandwich. No word on the aftermath of this drama.

Having commenced her career in the 1970s, French artist, France Mitrofanoff, has a vast body of work behind her. Over the years she has tackled many themes: the monster, urban living, alienation and reconstruction. In the past decade she has turned away from the city and has focussed on the cosmos and nature. Her star-studded skies and woodlands pulsate with mysterious energy. Mitrofanoff's spray of colour is astounding, but she is not afraid to explore the darker palette.
Intrigued by this prominent, award-winning French artist, who is virtually unknown over here, Karine Hetherington from artmuselondon.com went to interview her at her Paris studio where she is preparing her latest show.
France Mitrofanoff, why have you used the title: 'le dialogue de l'arbre' , 'talking trees' for your latest show?
I have been painting forests for many years now. The tree is our refuge as it shelters us from the rain and the strong rays of the sun. What intrigued me, is that we know so little about trees. I was inspired by a poem by Paul Valéry*, 'le dialogue de l'arbre' , which he wrote in 1943. I was very moved by the words.The wonderful text brings the tree to life and so I decided to ornament the barks of the trees I painted with sections of the poem.
What inspired you, or who inspired you, to devote your life to being an artist?
I didn't choose to be an artist. I was born that way. However, it is true that during my youth, my father, set up his paints on the dining room table every Sunday. Taking his inspiration from a postcard he had bought that day, he locked himself away and no one would dare disturb him.
When he died he left behind a collection of views of Paris. Some paintings were a little clumsy, but all his work was imbued with a poetry and melancholy which touches me to this day.
What is a typical day for you?
My days are similar. I can't help but make a long journey across Paris to the east of the city, to my studio. It is housed in a large building called 'Les Frigos' which the SNCF rail company used for refrigerating goods for many years! My studio is large and is on the top floor. In it I store my canvases from the last 40 years.
Today I'm staring at my latest canvas which is giving me grief!
What are you working on at the moment?
I am still working on forests. However I have a secret desire to take up again on a theme I had barely started, 'nature taking over ruins'
Looking at your work, I see the mystic in you?
If you mean that I'm always searching for hidden truths or mysteries that cannot be explained with the intellect, only with intuition, then I'm a mystic! So not in a religious sense but in a philosophical sense.
What challenges have you faced during your artistic career?
I have never had problems on the artistic level.
They were always on the material level – yes. For a long time, I couldn't afford a normal studio but found another solution by buying a WW1 barge, 'la Monique'. I was terribly naive as to the challenges of the river Seine and its tides!
Have you accomplished artistically what you set out to do?
No of course not! The artist always is in search of the elusive work that he will never succeed in painting. This obsession dies only when you reach the end of your life.
What advice do you give young artists?
I advise them to have two jobs! Firstly to have a job which requires the same skills as an artist, for example teaching. You need a job to pay the studio, your materials and to eat. Being solely an artist does not allow you to live. Having a job which pays the bills and more, allows you more creative freedom.
Do you admire any British artists? What exhibition did you see when you were last in London?
I love Francis Bacon and Henry Moore.
Last November I saw a good exhibition by Albert Oehlen at the Serpentine Gallery. A very bad one, Olafur Eliasson at the Tate Modern. And I always find William Blake impressive, who was on at Tate Britain.
France Mitrofanoff will be exhibiting at the Galerie Rauchfeld, 22 rue du Seine Paris 75006, Paris from 24th January – 7th February 2020.

Intelligent Design
Getting "Intelligent Design" Backward
A post yesterday at Evolution News, "Retraction Watch Guys Hallucinate 'Intelligent Design' Yet Again," bears a further comment. An article by Ivan Oranasky and Adam Marcus, co-founders of the website Retraction Watch, mischaracterized the view of mathematician and intelligent design proponent Granville Sewell. They wrote about
a paper by an intelligent design advocate questioning the validity of the second law of thermodynamics as it pertained to evolution…
That framing is backwards, or perhaps upside-down, probably in order to make the paper sound unreasonable. The proper and accurate framing of Sewell's writing would be to call it:
a paper by an intelligent design advocate questioning the validity of evolution as it pertained to the second law of thermodynamics…
The paper by Dr. Sewell accepted the second law as a given, and never "questioned" it. Rather, Sewell said that certain arguments for evolution would violate the second law. (Not evolution generally, as some creationists argue, just certain defenses of evolution offered by evolutionists.)
Sewell did not accept evolution as a given, and did not, then or ever, question the second law of thermodynamics. Rather, he accepted the second law as a given and then questioned certain arguments in favor of evolution in light of the second law. This might help to clarify what's really going on here. So, hey guys, how about a retraction?

Well, for these guys, they literally have no reason to risk death just to get stronger. It's only been a year since we have become an adventurer. There is no need to hurry, and no reason to be desperate.
"I'm going back home soon. Masaru, are you busy today?"
"Not really. Then both of you, take care."
"You too, Masaru."
I secretly told Lazard san about the matter of Hilgis, but it seems that his party might not join. The mission is dangerous, long-term and has little reward. Moreover, it is at another faraway country. They have no reason to gamble their lives there.
I said my goodbye to these guys for the time being. I wonder when will we meet next?
Immediately after I sent off Crook and Silva, I set to Adventurer Guild together with Sati and Shira.
Everybody else has already gone out respectively.
Will has left to the Elf Country alone, looking for a complete set of equipment that will suit him. I already ordered a full plate mail for him as his main, but his current set of equipment is made of cheap junk, and it's necessary to find him a new weapons and armour, so I sent him out early in the morning. There wasn't enough time to go shopping as a group and hence, I left him alone and entrusted him to the elves.
The other member is Ellie, who I entrusted her for Francesca matter. She seems to have not decided yet, so Ellie is going to get the reply.
"I want to bring some escorts together with me."
So, Ellie said earlier this morning.
We have told her that it's going to be dangerous since we're going through the frontier, and from there we steered the conversation so we can decline her, but it seems that Francesca is not giving up based on that reason alone.
While it's true that our journey is dangerous, it is not on a level of danger for our party, and of course, the person herself is terribly skilled. Above all, her speed is way faster than ordinary, and the person herself might not like Sati to start her training first.
Then, it seems that getting her guardians permission proved to be difficult, seeing that an unmarried maiden is parting for a journey to far away land.

We don't think he was that much in danger of getting hit on in the first place.
No one:
Literally nobody:
Waka: I don't want gay men hitting on me.
Waka Flocka, has gotten himself into a mess with some homophobic comments and threats he made towards gay people during an Instagram live session earlier this week. During video, Waka speaks about a recent encounter he had with a gay person at the airport, whereby he approached him a little too forwardly. While he says he doesn't have any issues with anyone's sexuality, he also lets everyone know he does NOT appreciate a man approaching him in such any type of flirtatious way, or giving him compliments.
"I understand yall folks got y'all month and all that," Waka Flocka said on his IG Live. "Nothing against nobody's sexual preference, nothing. But look, I ain't with that. So don't approach me, don't be having too many compliments and doing all that extra shit. It's out of pocket and disrespectful." Nearing the end of the clip, Waka films the man sitting next to him "the local shooter," who proceeds to utter what sounds like some sort of threatening rap, talking about shooting someone. "Steal a nigga soul from him," says the man, to which Waka replies "it's that simple." Now, some people believe that it's Waka indirectly saying he'll have any gay man who attempts to flirt with him, shot.
Waka's comments have led to their share of backlash over the last few days, with some people labeling him as a homophobe. "I'm so disappointed in my baby daddy waka I always knew he was homophobic by the the way he treat Brandon ♂ it's disgusting .... he still fine af tho," wrote one person.
Others, however, have defended his right to make the comments, suggesting that it's just a matter of preference. "Waka Flocka didn't say he didn't want gay people near him or even around him he just simply does not really want a compliment or anything flirtatious of that nature," another person tweeted. "I mean that's pretty much any other heterosexual guy he just said what some male celebrities want to say but can't."
For future reference, if no one asks you can and should shut the F*ck up.

Workplace Discipleship 101, David W. Gill. Peabody, MA: Hendrickson Publishers, 2020.
Summary: A practical guide to living as a follower in one's workplace focused on how we get ready for our work, impact our workplace, and beyond our workplace.
As a teenager who had been raised in a Christian home and church, one of the things I struggled with in high school was making the connection between Sunday, and Monday through Saturday. Had it not been for the Jesus movement and later, the collegiate ministry I was involved with, I may have walked away from Christianity. To say Jesus is Lord but then live six days a week as if he has nothing to do with them seemed just a wee bit inconsistent. Atheism seemed more consistent and less hypocritical.
David Gill writes out of a similar conviction. Observing that we spend the largest part of our waking hours at work, Gill contends it only makes sense for those of us who follow Jesus to learn how we may do so during those hours. He then proceeds to give us a book (part of Hendrickson's "Theology of Work" series) grounded solidly in a theology of both discipleship and work and incredibly practical in its applications.
The book is organized in three parts. The first considers how we might "get ready for our work." He begins by inviting us to commit to be a workplace disciple and share it with someone else who won't let us evade that commitment. He then writes about prayer, both crisis prayers and ongoing prayer with models of workplace prayers and even how to use the Lord's prayer in praying about our work. He addresses the other side of our communication with God in listening to Him in scripture, understanding it as centered around Jesus and God's mission in the world, and then offers ways to engage the scriptures personally and in groups. He urges us not to go it alone but to have a "posse" of the like-minded and offers helps for forming such a group. Finally, Gill believes we need to be lifelong learners, and particularly commends the importance of reading (I knew there was a reason I liked this guy). He makes extensive suggestions of books to get us started on a theology of work.
Having gotten us ready for work, the second part of the book speaks of our impact as Christians at work. First of all it means aligning our work with God. After looking at God the worker, he makes recommendations about understanding our gifted passions and pursuing them as disciples of Christ. Our model as imitators of Christ is a big part of our impact, living with the qualities of righteousness, peacemaking, and joy. He encourages us to be light in our workplaces, bringing the unique insights and questions that our shaped by our reading of scripture, with humility but without apology. We don't have to say, "the Bible says," but simply, "what do you think of this?" As we live in these ways, we will have chances to share our faith. As we listen to others, they will be ready to listen to us. Gill suggests various ways we might initiate but concludes "that the best time to share the gospel is when someone asks you about it and wants to hear your answer" (p. 163). Sometimes we will be confronted with wrongdoing or conflict in the workplace, and the challenge here is to be overcomers. He talks about how to identify serious wrongdoing in the workplace and how to address conflict with humility, courage and prayer.
The final part of the book moves beyond our workplace with a number of ideas of how we may contribute the gifts and skills we use in the workplace to the benefit of the wider church. His last chapter is on rest and the importance of sabbath in our lives as workers. He contends that intentional efforts to schedule and set aside sabbath, vacations, date nights, and periodically, longer sabbaticals, is crucial to gaining control of our time.
The text is broken up with periodic "chalkboards" summarizing key points and chapters conclude with a "to do" list and questions for reflection and discussion. This makes the book ideal for use in a church or workplace group. It also includes a postscript for pastors, urging them to address the workplace life of a congregation, including visiting people on the job.
What distinguishes this book from many I have read is that it is at once solidly grounded in a theology of work (without the author showing all his work!) and at the same time extremely practical and applicable. The challenge of this book is not figuring out what the author is saying or how to put it into practice. Rather, will one practice and live into the clear steps of discipleship laid out by the author? Again, having a posse will add to the impact of this book as you urge each other on the path of workplace discipleship.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received a complimentary review copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

The sibsize revolution in an international context: Declining social disparities in the number of siblings in 26 countries

Background: One's number of siblings is an important determinant of many life outcomes, such as educational attainment. In the last century the United States has experienced a 'sibsize revolution', in which sibship sizes declined, and which led to a convergence in family circumstances for children. Did this happen in other countries as well?
Objective: This study examines the development of sibship size and social disparities in sibship size in low-fertility countries across the 20th century.
Methods: We analyze sibship size data collected from 111 nationally representative surveys conducted in 26 low-fertility countries across the 20th century.
Results: Average sibship sizes have declined in virtually all countries. Average sibship sizes are socially stratified, with smaller sibship sizes among higher-educated parents. This social disparity in sibship size has declined over time, indicating convergence in most countries. This convergence applies to large families, but not to only-child families.
Contribution: Siblings are an understudied phenomenon in family demography, despite their growing importance in a time of increasingly complex family structures. Given the significance of sibship size for children's educational outcomes and overall life chances, decreasing social disparities in sibship size suggest greater equality in the intergenerational transmission of advantage.

UK regulator sets out 10 areas for corporate reporting improvementThe Financial Reporting Council says the statement of cash flows is the most common source of identified material errors in company reporting.
In its Annual Review of Corporate Reporting 2019/20 published Wednesday, the UK's Financial Reporting Council (FRC) set out ten top areas where reporting can be improved. It also issued a summary of its guidance.
The ten areas that prompt the regulator to ask the most questions of companies are:
- Judgements and estimates;
- Impairment of assets;
- Revenue from contracts with customers;
- Financial instruments;
- Alternative performance measures (APMs);
- Strategic report;
- Statement of cash flows;
- Provisions and contingencies;
- Fair value measurement; and
- Business combinations.
A total of 216 company accounts were reviewed by the FRC, and it wrote to 96 companies with substantive questions about their reporting.
The regulator said the statement of cash flows remains the most common source of identified material errors. And while the FRC said the overall quality of reporting by UK companies has remained consistent in recent years, it had seen "incremental improvements in certain matters" — for example, fewer inconsistencies between disclosures relating to judgement and estimation uncertainty in different parts of the annual report and accounts.
The FRC's executive director of supervision, David Rule, highlighted the need for companies to prepare high-quality annual reports so that "investors, shareholders, and other users can make timely and informed decisions". He added: "Given the heightened need for high-quality disclosures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is vital companies carefully consider the FRC's findings ahead of the next reporting cycle."

IKCO to Deliver Presold Peugeot 2008 SUVs
EghtesadOnline: Extending apologies for the prolonged delay in the delivery of presold units of the SUV model Peugeot 2008, Iran Khodro, the local partner of the French automotive company, has announced that all presold cars will be delivered in due course. The vehicles were to be made through collaborations between PSA Groups Peugeot brand and IKCO through a joint venture named IKAP.
However, after US President Donald Trump's decision to pull Washington out of the landmark nuclear deal and reimpose sanctions against Tehran, PSA announced that it would suspend its operations in the country.
The news triggered widespread unease among car buyers that IKCO will not be able to deliver the presold Peugeot 2008s or might offer another model in its place, reported local automotive website Donyaye Khodro. In response to anxious customers, IKCO has issued a statement reading that the presold Peugeot 2008s will be delivered. Up to now, IKAP has delivered over 5,000 Peugeot 2008s to car enthusiasts. By March, the company had presold 16,000 vehicles to Iranian customers.
During the first four months of the current fiscal which started in March, 2,956 units of Peugeot 2008 were manufactured in Iran. Peugeot is a popular brand among the Iranians. Vehicles carrying the emblem of Peugeot have a 29% share of the cars rolling out of Iranian carmakers factories, Financial Tribune reported.
