MiND: Media Independence, public television for Philadelphia, has collaborated with the Philadelphia Film Society and premiered Henry Nevison's documentary about a musical that is still changing lives. "On the Other Side of the Fence" takes a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the musical through the collaboration between children from Philadelphia's HMS School for Children with Cerebral Palsy and Germantown Friends School. This partnership has been going on for 30 years. The film engages and challenges audience members, and addresses intolerance by telling a story that children and adults can easily understand. The production of the documentary highlights the development of new and unique friendships after a reluctant start to the process, which students from both schools share with the camera.
Through interviews and footage of the action, "On the Other Side of the Fence" takes viewers through the introductory period, the rehearsals and the blossoming of new friendships as well as looks back at the origins of the project. Overtime, everyone learns how to better communicate. In the making of the musical, the students have fun and make friends, while also coming to understand the importance of inclusivity and acceptance, a growth viewers are able to experience vicariously.

My little maternal grandmother was a formally uneducated woman yet she possessed more wisdom than all the Solons we have sitting on Capitol Hill. She had that rarest of commodities, one which is called common sense and while it had not been learned from school books it had come to her through life experience. I recognized her genius at a very early age.
I will never forget sitting in our little living room one afternoon on returning home from grammar school. I had helped a classmate on the telephone the previous night with a math problem and was a little miffed that when I saw him the following day he never even said, "Thank you".
Grandma explained the whole thing in a nutshell when she said to me, "There are two kinds of people in this world. There are givers and there are takers."
As I advanced from grade to grade in school and the world of history opened up to me I realized how correct Grandma's statement was. The whole world, at least politically, was full of givers and takers.
At one time most people were ruled over by Kings and Grand Dukes, Czars and Emperors with an occasional Queen thrown into the mix. They were the takers, empowered to be such by the Western doctrine of "The Divine Right of Kings."
They lived, by the standards that then existed, in luxury, opulence and with the realistic expectation that all their needs, wants and desires would be supplied. They were, by virtue of their births the entitled ones.
But in order for them to continue this lifestyle there had to be those who would provide all that they needed. In those times, the givers were the peasants and those lesser members of the nobility who had sworn allegiance to the Sovereign.
Mostly it was the peasants who did the back breaking work, cleaning the castles, cooking and serving the food and doing all the other mundane chores which needed to be done to maintain royalty in its rightful place of honor. There was no token of gratitude from their liege lord for their efforts – as that was their place and why should one reward someone for doing a thing that was his bounden duty and rightful service?
Over the centuries. with the advent of more wide spread education. it occurred to more and more of us that being ruled by a person whose place was accorded to him by an accident of birth was not the most desirable way to run a country. Thus, other political systems began to be implemented in which the governors were elected by those who were governed.
This was a movement known as democracy which was not a perfect solution but, to the many, appeared to be a big improvement over the way affairs had previously been conducted. Beginning in the 18th century, this surging wave swept into history under the name of "The Age of Enlightenment" and it swept aside the English Colonies in the new world, transforming them into the United States of America and in later years led to the downfall of the monarchies in France and Italy and Spain and Russia to name only a few. While not everyone gravitated to democracy, there was a world-wide rejection of the old monarchical system and today there are few vestiges of it that are left.
As I mentioned, this new system was not perfect. Nothing that humanity attempts, no matter how genuinely and sincerely motivated is. As none of us is omniscient, even the best intended of our efforts often have unintended consequences which we did not or choose not to contemplate.
The "American experiment" is now well over two hundred years old. It has provided a beacon to much of the rest of the world for most of that time. But it is now staggering, perhaps because it is relying on its former successes, perhaps because those who crafted the dream have died off and been replaced with those who are the beneficiaries of their forebears efforts but have never done anything themselves to make the dream a reality.
While Grandma identified this struggle in her simple way as being a battle between two groups – the "givers" and the "takers", I have a slightly different explanation as I have the benefit of having seen additional history since she taught me that lesson as a child.
Yes, there are two groups in America today. They are those who work for a living; and those who take from the working.
I am confident that, were she alive today, Grandma would agree with my common sense analysis of the way things are – because common sense, combined with a heavy dose of morality, were her dearest and most priceless guiding principles.

The Heat is On is episode 9 of the first season of The Worst Witch TV series. It was Preceded by The Great Outdoors, and followed by Sorcery and Chips.
A heat wave has struck Cackle's Academy and Miss Bat has let the girls practice their Chanting outside. The girls use it as an opportunity to sunbathe on the broomshed roof, until Miss Hardbroom catches them and punishes them by making them clear out the locker room.
Meanwhile Miss Hardbroom is fed up with Miss Bat's irresponsible attitude to teaching and her habit of eating flowers. A row subseqeuntly develops ending with Miss Bat locking herself in the staffroom cupboard until further notice.
Miss Cackle, being of an amiable nature, magics the girls a refreshing summer drink, and then sets them a task of re-creating the drink by natural means only. For once Ethel and Drusilla team up with Mildred and her friends. After several unsuccessful attempts to make the drink using natural products, Mildred comes upstairs and interrupts Miss Hardbroom yelling at Miss Bat, and asks Miss Bat for help, saying that she believes flowers are the key ingredient to the drink.
While out collecting flowers, Mildred and Drusilla have a fight and end up in the river, causing Miss Hardbroom to separate Ethel and Drusilla from the group and allow them to work on their own, making the challenge a competition.
While Mildred and her group mix the flowers, Ethel thumbs through potion books to find a way to cheat. When Mildred and her friends manage to successfully re-create Cackle's magic drink using flowers, Ethel and Drusilla sabatoge their drink by spiking it with chilli sauce.
When Ethel presents it to the three witch teachers, her magic drink results in a severe case of the Foster's effect, sending Miss Cackle, Miss Hardbroom and Miss Bat shooting through the Great Hall ceiling when they taste it. As Punishment, Ethel and Drusilla are assigned to operate a large fan to cool off the students.
Millie: "Even HB wouldn't guess we're up here, she always checks the broomshed, but she'd never think of looking on the roof."
HB: "not usually, no."
Millie: "no."
Girls: "huh!" *sees HB*
HB: well, I'm glad you're well rested, Mildred, because I've just conducted a tidiness inspection and class one's lunch break is going to be very busy indeed!"
HB: "When you have finished with 'I must not store purifying salad in my locker', Mildred, you can start on two hundred lines of 'I must be more careful on how I dispose of my disgustingly mouldy leftovers'."
Amelia (to Davina): "Miss Hardbroom didn't mean to call your symphony of summer an appalling racket, did you Constance?" (HB mutters)
Constance: "well if she constantly locks herself in a cupboard and expects us to say pretty please sausages, turn round three times, touch green and bring her a bowl of fruit salad before she deigns to come out what else does she expect?!"
Imogen: "Miss Bat would like Miss Hardbroom to appreciate..."
Davina: That some of us have feelings and that chanting is an artistic subject which requires a teacher of delicate sensitivity!!!"
Constance: "And does it also require a teacher who's licking sticky lollies and leaving them on staffroom armchairs, who's sending the girls outside for their lessons, who's eating bunches of flowers and thumping out the school song like a bat out of...!"
Miss Bat sitting munching a bowl of fruit salad and cream: "Ah hem!"
Miss Hardbroom whipping her head around with a face like thunder: "Mildred Hubble, how dare you come into the staffroom without knocking. There is absolutely no excuse!"
Miss Bat wide eyed roaring: "THE DOOR WAS OPEN!" (HB has stunned look on her face)
Miss Bat: Gather round girls, gather rrrround in a ring.
Miss Bat: "We've all fallen in a river from time to time."
Miss Cackle: "Are you all right Miss Hardbroom?"
HB: "Not all together Miss Cackle..." CRASH!!
HB: "What ... was ... THAT?!"
Miss Cackle and Miss Bat are present in this episode, even though Ruby and the others are still on their trip, which Cackle and Bat were accompanying them on.

1957 Fiat 600 Mirafiori
In an alternate future this is the car of the masses
It's sort of a cross between the Jetson's car and a Disney monorail. For some reason I picture hostesses dressed like Jackie O holding the doors open for happy vacationers. Maybe I need my meds adjusted again.
Underneath it's a 1957 Fiat 600. Hardly a car normally associated with greatness. Of course the first Mustang was just a rebodied Falcon, and that was pretty cool.
The thing that makes this the ultimate alternate future party barge is that glorious fishbowl of a top comes off. Seriously, click on the link. You have to see the pictures.
The car is selling with no reserve but the estimate is 150K to 200K. Seeing how old Fiat prices have been climbing recently I don't think they'll be far off.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – One day after a citizen's anonymous letter to Mayor Lenny Curry and Sheriff Mike Williams asked that the National Guard should be called out to help patrol the streets of Jacksonville, Williams went before a City Council budget hearing to make the case for more money to keep residents safe.
Williams said he understands the sentiment made in the letter that generated much support from News4Jax viewers. He thanked the community for coming forward and helping find the two people arrested in last weekend's shooting death of a 7-year-old girl and its continuing help in the search for the third suspect.
Williams said the recent upsurge in violent crime here is not a trend, but admitted this is not the time to talk about that, saying it's time to talk about what's being done, which is seeking funds to hire more officers.
Williams said 100 officers hired last year will hit the street later this year and he is asking for more funding for an additional 20 officers next year.
"The idea of more police officers on the street gives people some reassurance," Williams said. "Everywhere I go, what's the one thing people want? They say (they) want more police in the neighborhood. This will provide some measure of that. It is not the complete answer."
During Thursday's budget hearing, Williams also talked about high-tech changes coming to the department. Body cameras for officers will go into service in October. The new budget will also fund a real-time crime center that will bring tools like ShotSpotter, which detects gunfire locations, and live surveillance video from all over the city.
"We give them an added measure of security to see a sign that says police cameras (are) in operation. That's good that is a good thing for us, but obviously, we want there to be a real operation behind (it). Not just a sign and a camera hanging on the pole," Williams said.
UNCUT: Sheriff Williams comments on safety, budget
City Council members also heard from Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, which could get its largest increase in funding in recent history.
"They gave us four new rescue (units) and one new engine company," Fire Chief Kurt Wilson said. "The engine and rescue will service the Argyle Forest area. Three additional rescues will be Baymeadows, Northside (and) in Woodstock Park, and they gave us extra firefighters to help out with relief."
Those increases need to be approved by the full City Council, but it appears these two departments have the backing to get all they want in the $1.2 billion budget for the 2019 fiscal year that begins Oct. 1.
Funding will be more of a challenge next year, when local governments anticipate tax revenue to be reduced by new homestead exemptions that November are expected to approve.

Tecumseh's wrestling team continued its dominance in its Division 2 team district, as the Indians won their 17th straight title with a 64-10 victory over rival Adrian.
"It's always exciting, winning another district title," said Tecumseh coach AJ Marry. "This is the best time of the year, the postseason, this is why we compete. It's great to have our rival here, and win it over our rival, because we like to compete against our rivals. That's why you have rivalries. ...Those kids are tough. Those coaches are tough. I enjoy every time we compete against them, and at the end, we laugh. We shake hands and we're buddies, and it is what it is, and it's a good start to the postseason."
With their district championship, the Indians advance to the regional semifinal next Wednesday back in Tecumseh.
The Maples advanced to the final with a 62-16 victory over a Milan squad that had just five wrestlers for the district meet. Milan voided the first four weight classes of the match, which started at 152 pounds, before the Big Reds won a pair of matches to close the gap to 24-10.
However, the deficit was not able to be made up, as Milan forfeited the next two weight classes to make it 36-10 going into a match between the Big Reds' own James Stines and Adrian's Ethan Spagnoli at 119 pounds.
Spagnoli came out firing against Stines, who got out to a 8-0 lead after the first period and rolled to a 15-0 technical fall in 3:10.
After another Milan void, Ethan Griffin battled Adrian's Ramiro Guerrero in what proved to be a closely-contested bout at 130. Griffin started strong, taking a 7-0 lead into the second period of the bout.
However, Guerrero got an escape, only for Griffin to get a penalty point to make it 8-1. Unfortunately for Milan, Guerrero got a pair of near falls to close the score to 8-5 at the end of the frame, and got a three-point near fall in the third to force overtime. In the extra frame, Guerrero got the takedown fairly quickly to take the 10-8 decision.
After that, Adrian got two more wins via void before voiding at 145 to close the match out.
The final started at 160 pounds, and saw Isaac Ramirez take a closely-contested 7-4 decision over Brendan Dyer to start the bout with a 3-0 lead.
Tecumseh took the lead from there, as Alek Gurica won at 171 via a void, and Clayton Boatright (171) and James Clark followed that with a pair of first-period pins to make it 17-3 after a penalty point had been assessed to the Indians.
Caleb York stopped the run with a hard-fought 2-1 decision over Dominic Flores in the heavyweight bout, which Adrian's Ray Torres won the 103 bout over Jeremiah Torres with a 20-9 major decision to trim the Indians' lead to 17-10.
But the Indians got going again fast, as Josh Hilton pinned Blake Johnson in just 19 seconds at 112, while Vince Perez got a 21-6 technical fall in 4:47 to make it 28-10 after the 119 bout.
"It's about pins and bonus points in duals, and we're just not at the level that we need to be," Adrian coach Nick Conklin said. "There's a reason why (Tecumseh) goes to team states on a yearly basis, because they know what it takes to get there. We're obviously headed in the right direction, we're not going backwards, it's just, it takes time, and I'm not going anywhere so I got all the time in the world."
Kellen Patton kept the roll going with a 30-second pinfall victory at 125, and Victor Coscarelli put the championship away with a 51-second pin at 130. Lucas Petty won with a 1:34 pin against Bryce Koch in the 135 match.
"Victor had a good win over Ramiro Jr.," said Marry. "That was probably the deal-sealer, and Vince had a good match against Spagnoli, both ranked wrestlers for Adrian, and then our two guys, Vince is Vince, and that was a big win for Victor because he cut down to 130 for the first time today, and that's a tough draw for your first match after cutting some weight."
At 140, Nick Tincher recovered from a near-pin by Connor Tokarz in the first period to flip the script on his opponent and get the pin in 2:13 before the Indians closed out the match with void wins at 145 and 152.

Lemme be honest with you all. At the beginning of the year I made myself a challenge on my Goodreads app. I wanted to achieve reading a 100 books, lol yes 100. I read around 10. Only 90 to go and I have just over two months of the year left. Never happening, nope. I know. Although I am back to my reading and I'm feeling pretty good about it. A little me time, a little self care. It's time to shut off from the world and let my imagination go wild. This weather makes it a whole lot easier to sit indoors with a book under a blanket too.
For watching – I don't watch much TV unless it's Friends on repeat. Basic, I know. I watched that for the first time at the beginning of 2019 – I recommend. As for what I've been doing – let's just get on with it, shall we?
The Secret – You learn how to use the secret within every aspect of your life – money, health, relationships and happiness. People would say this book is life changing. Me? Not quite, however I find I do have more of a positive attitude when before it would seem unlikely. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe that if you forever think of good things that good things will come to you and no bad thing could possibly happen. I don't think by telling myself every night before bed that I will be rich, it will suddenly make me rich one day. This book has a lot of facts I found my brain can't quite handle too much information, before it ticks off 'uninterested'.
Cilka's Journey – What a book. It's as good as the Tattooist of Auschwitz. Cilka is someone who survived two of the concentration camps. She started the journey at the age of sixteen and had to go through a lot in the first camp. She managed to survive the camp but it was no way a happy ending when she survived it. Because of what happened at camp one, she got moved onto camp two – more of a prison, the second one. In this camp she was able to help. She became a nurse and what a journey she lived. I cried, I cried again and I cried even some more. She is certainly one the bravest people I've ever met. She confronts it all and faces terror but she still manages to feel love.
Unbelievable – When a teenage girl reports being raped, then recants her story. Two female detectives follow evidence that could reveal the truth. Based on a true story. Oh don't you love true stories? This one I had to watch. Everyone was raving about it, I loved it myself. Although it was a little slow for me. (No one else has agreed with me, so maybe I just watched each episode too slow.)
Hello October – Suzie is a youtuber that I have watched before. When I first started this whole blogging thing – I was a huge fan and she was my inspiration. It still stands with the inspiration through Instagram, but I'm again a fan through Youtube. I spent a lot of this month unwell and I spent the time off work watching her over and over again. I love her style, her videos and the content is always high. Also it is her month, October. Her vlogs at this time of year are my favourite.
Power – Who isn't watching Power? If your answer is 'me' then watch the trailer on Netflix. Season 6 is currently on the go and I love every time it every time. Ghost and Tommy. The vilonce is a little too much for my sometimes, but the love I have for Tommy is totally worth it. Whose your favourite? Tommy or Ghost? Binge watch it now.
What have you been up to / reading and watching lately?

Kuwaiti emir flies to Qatar as Donald Trump also intervenes for second time in Gulf diplomatic crisis
Kuwait has stepped up its efforts to mediate an end to the economic and diplomatic blockade of Qatar as other Gulf States set out more detailed demands for how Qatar should end its alleged funding and harbouring of terrorism.
Kuwait's Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah flew to Qatar on Wednesday night and was met at the airport by Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. The Qatari foreign ministry said in a statement that the two held talks on how to "restore the normal relations" of the Gulf.

On my last check we were supposed to be loving any mask including seaweed or charcoal because of the 'qualities' they possess but from my experiences they just do not seem to live up to the expectations in terms of results. Despite disappointments I am as always willing to push previous experiences aside to try new things… was it worth it this time though?
In a simple word the answer is no.
This product had a bit of a pong to it, nothing unusual, reminding me of a lot of seaweed products combined with an incredible amount of chemicals. But the product is about the performance on the face rather than the scent kick so again this was something I was trying to look beyond.
It was incredibly runny and this is not just something that I had issues with. When I popped a photo onto Instagram comments and direct messages came in from others saying they too had found this to be a runny product that was impossible to control and that it just seemed to struggle when it came to the drying phase. By the time I had got to having the product all over my face it was running down my arm and half way down my neck hardly the nice relaxing experience I am used to when it comes to doing a face mask; top tip here is to use this (not that I would recommend using it at all) before having a bath or shower!
After waiting what was more like 45 minutes for this to dry to a point where I could take most of it of with the peeling method, yes huge chunks still needed the face cloth to come out, it did not seem to do anything noticeable to the skin. My pores looked just as clogged, if not more clogged from the black gunge that refused to set on my face, and it felt like there was a film of the product still on my skin that left me standing at the face using several of my cleansers to feel in any way clean and comfortable with my face (something I should have just done in the first place to save time and avoid getting into some huge mess!).
I am usually a big fan of Superdrug face masks, especially the peel off fruity ones, but this really left me questioning the people behind the decision making process to let such a messy and poorly performing product make it from the designing stage onto the shelves for general sale! Instead I would suggest the Manuka Honey face mask that is a little runny but sets well and really does what it claims to do on the packaging!

Most football fans like a dependable wing back.
We all want that "you can call on me" caution, hovering just on the edge of your eye line at all times, the sort that doesn't get on so well with frankly scary Marcelo-esque "where the fuck are you?" positioning. Give us a reliable man on the wing, first and foremost. Give us peak Steve Finnan, a quiet, responsible player who was around for some bloody good days, and then wasn't anymore.
Your Jamie Vardy stories, your Rickie Lamberts, are inspiring but becoming a tiny bit familiar: workhorse striker proves again and again that he can score at the next level up, before eventually making his England debut and scoring. It's just Steve Finnan, though, who can boast the almost baffling record of having played at all four levels of the English league football and the Football Conference, in the UEFA Cup, the Intertoto Cup, the Champions League and, oh yeah, a World Cup. Literally no other player ever managed that full list—and good luck to them now, finding a spot in an Intertoto Cup side.
He made his way up, from Welling and Wimbledon to Birmingham, Notts County, Fulham, and then, hitting his peak, Liverpool. He was never really a starlet, not a promising youngster in the modern sense. Instead, he was a man consistently proving himself and signed for Liverpool at the age of 27 already needing to demonstrate that he was in the prime of his career. He didn't do it in his first season, but 04–05 was a good time to cement yourself as a starter for Benítez's team. He could cross pretty well, but mostly Finnan was just flawless at the art of Never Not Running, getting up and down the wing tirelessly, with the emphasis on always being back.
Finnan's greatest moment, on paper, isn't a surprise—the final of finals, in Istanbul, left him with a lovely great shiny Champions League winner's medal. It's a shame for him that he was one of the sacrificial lambs offered to the footballing gods when the game was going against Liverpool. With Harry Kewell's fragile body already on the altar, replaced by slightly-scary Vladimír Šmicer, at half time Rafa was forced to tweak his formation and trade an injured Finnan for the massively-important Dietmar Hamann. He heard the comeback goals from the treatment room but made it back out in time to watch Carra and Stevie cramp around the pitch cleaning up until the penalties.
Steve might point to 52 appearances for Ireland as another pretty decent innings, and a couple of European Super Cups to boot, but Istanbul has a way of drawing the attention.
But then, just a couple of years later, in a way that felt abrupt from a fan's point of view, Finnan was gone. Rafa had a way of openly trying to sign replacements for players that really seemed to still be doing the business (Xabi, oh Xabi). From Josemi to Kromkamp, Degen and eventually Álvaro Arbeloa, Rafa seemed to have a bee in his bonnet about his right back, as if the defensive solidity he offered just wasn't enough on its own, which frankly feels a bit mad. Liverpool, since Finnan, have had a decade of not-quite-there blokes in his old slot.
Glen Johnson scored the odd screamer but was seriously iffy when it came to some basics like closing down and, you know, marking. Jon Flanagan strained every sinew for a season and a half before reverting to type and just not being that good. Martin Kelly no longer gets starts for Crystal Palace, and quite right, too. Javier Manquillo.
You don't know what you have until you lose it, sometimes, and a peak Steve Finnan would slot into even Jürgen's lovely modern machine. I mean, obviously he wouldn't displace Trent—the kid can do free kicks, are you mad? But when a scary team come to town and a potent winger reckons he's got Trent on toast, what an option your running man Steve would be. Him and Robertson on opposite flanks would almost be unfair in terms of sheer lungs.
Since his retirement, after a terrible stay at Espanyol and a short while at Pompey, Finnan's been best known for cementing his Merseyside disappearing act. He fell off the face of the earth. No media appearances, no scabrous interviews about how Liverpool will always fall short, nothing. Then, in 2015, the organisers of a club-sanctioned Istanbul reunion went public about their failure to find Steve, and if it was 2018 you could guarantee a cavalcade of shit memes at this expense. Instead, some actual journalists found him in about five minutes and confirmed that he was living in London and just wasn't that arsed about publicity.
That's the sort of privacy that most footballers can barely cope with, let alone seek out, but Steve seems totally happy with, running his property development business, almost certainly with a sensible attitude to fiscal responsibility. The sort of man who does his job, gets on with it, and then, when the business is done, is happy to slide away. Good on you, Steve.

No exceptions: Chain-smoking Italian manager of Chelsea Football Club comes to terms with UK's totalitarian anti-smoking culture
Sun, 12 Aug 2018 15:11 UTC
Sarri, the 59-year-old Italian charged with resurrecting a Chelsea side which fell stagnant during the stewardship of former head coach Antonio Conte, started his Premiership career with a 3-0 win away to Huddersfield Town in the first round of games of the new English season this weekend.
The Italian, famous for indulging his tobacco habit on the touchlines of the grounds in Serie A, has been forced to abide by rules governing English stadiums which forbid smoking - and he apparently did so by chewing unlit cigarettes during his Premiership debut.
The new boss got his brand of football known as 'Sarri-ball' off to a winning start at Huddersfield's Kirklees Stadium, as goals from N'Golo Kante, Jorginho, and Pedro earned three points for the West London club, but it wasn't just the action on the pitch which proved notable.
Sarri was spotted on numerous occasions during his career in Italy smoking in stadiums, or on the sidelines, such as the clip below where he lit up in the company of two bodyguards.
When Sarri's Napoli team played RB Leipzig in a European tie, the German club set up a specially designed smoking room for him, though this won't be possible during his tenure at Chelsea.
Maybe it's time to invest in some nicotine patches, Maurizio?
Comment: Maybe it's time to acknowledge that we live in a totalitarian hell?

Alex and I had actually constantly had excellent sex, and so it was really aggravating how much trouble we had utilizing a prophylactic.
The heavy desire in his voice was got me actually hot. Rather I parted my legs a little and instantly felt the suggestion of his dick at my entryway. He required his hips forward, his manhood attacking on my sex like a predator going after its victim.
The following encounter Alex attempted to place himself inside me and would not stop up until I got mad. I disliked not being able to feel whatever, and I disliked losing the intimacy of having absolutely nothing in between us.
I disengaged myself from Alex and handled to stand up. I didn't have the heart to inform Alex that he would not have access to my super-wet cunt since we were out of prophylactics.

Alex half raised me so that he might get access to my sex with his mouth. I took this as his effort to avoid me from getting at the prophylactics. I could not focus on anything else and simply got into what Alex was doing to me.
" Oh God!" I groaned. "Fuck me, fuck me harder."
When I had actually very first gone off the tablet and informed him we had to utilize prophylactics he grumbled. He stated utilizing a prophylactic feels like clapping with gloves on. The next time we had sex we didn't utilize a prophylactic and he pulled out prior to cumming all over my stomach.
I didn't state anything as I set the empty box down and got back on the bed lying on my stomach. Alex right away got on top of me grinding his erection versus my dampness. It was apparent by the method he moved that Alex was still attempting to enter me.
I understand hazardous sex is bad, particularly because I like to fuck like a sailor on shore leave. For whatever factor the concept of getting an STD to didn't frighten me sufficient to utilize prophylactics, however the concept of getting pregnant did.

I continued to grab the prophylactics situated someplace in my underclothing drawer despite the fact that Alex was opposing. I remained in an uncomfortable position and wound up with the lower half of my body on the bed while supporting the majority of my weight with a hand on the flooring as I fumbled looking for package of prophylactics.
I was in euphoria as Alex went at me with careless desert. I got onto the bed sheets hanging on for dear life as Alex continued his unrelenting pounding. When Alex reached down and began to massage my clit I might barely breathe.
Alex right away got on top of me grinding his erection versus my moisture.

I heard Alex groan in annoyance when he recognized what I was doing. I had actually been on the tablet because I initially began having sex and had actually never ever truly utilized a prophylactics prior to.
I was dealing with my Aunt and Uncle while going to graduate school at Cal Berkeley, however I was remaining in the guesthouse, so I had a step of personal privacy. Alex and I had actually begun dating a number of months previously. He lived 75 miles away in Sacramento and we were just able to see each other on the weekends.
Alex and I had actually gone out for the night and I had one too lots of glasses of white wine. As quickly as Alex had his hands on me I felt him start to eliminate my clothing. Understanding what was about to occur, I went to reach for the box of prophylactics I kept in my underclothing drawer.
The following encounter Alex attempted to place himself inside me and would not stop up until I got upset. Alex half raised me so that he might get access to my sex with his mouth.

High-Saving Youth in Smallholder Households: An Untapped Market
Cette ressource apparaît dans:
Young people living in smallholder households tend to save more money than their elders and they have use mobile money at lower rates and tend to rely on informal mechanisms to set aside money (e.g., saving at home, savings and credit groups, transacting with friends and family). And yet, formal financial services providers (FSPs) are not reaching them.
This Brief uses data from CGAP's financial diaries and national surveys with smallholder households—two highly complementary research methods—to examine the saving habits, mobile phone ownership, and use of mobile money among young people living in smallholder households. The smallholder diaries detailed the cash flows of 270 families in three markets, while the nationally representative surveys explored the agricultural and financial lives of roughly 18,000 smallholder families in six countries.
FSPs can leverage the strong savings habits of youth in smallholder families and their access to mobile phones to develop digital products that better meet their needs and aspirations. Savings could be the use case that drives adoption of mobile money and brings them into the formal financial system.

Manchester community groups to benefit from £1.5m fund
Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (GMMH) is providing an exciting opportunity for community groups and projects across Manchester to benefit from a £1.5m fund to help promote wellbeing and improve mental health.
The Manchester Wellbeing Fund (MWF) is a three-year programme designed to build community support, involving service users and carers across the city, to help people living with mental health conditions through innovative projects.
The money is from GMMH's existing funding for the city of Manchester and is divided into 12 neighbourhood budgets which community groups and projects can register an interest for via the Trust website at: www.gmmh.nhs.uk/manchester-wellbeing-fund.
The main objectives of the fund are to:
- Support people living with mental illness
- Promote wellbeing and prevent mental ill health
- Challenge the stigma associated with mental illness
To help support this process, service users, carers, community representatives and staff from the Trust will meet to review and develop proposals. It is hoped the extensive knowledge of these different representatives, from the lived experience of service users and carers, the local knowledge of community residents, to the working knowledge of staff, well help develop exciting and innovative projects.
Examples of projects set to benefit from the fund include a community drama group, based in Levenshulme. The group, made up of service users in central Manchester, aims to use drama to help address people's mental health needs and they have bid for funding to assist with setting up and delivering classes.
Deborah Partington, GMMH Director of Operations, said: "The Trust is really excited to be able to give people the chance to get involved in projects that will make a genuine difference to the wellbeing and mental health of Manchester residents.
"We can help new groups to become established, or support existing ones, and we encourage proposals that might involve a particular community of interest, not only those confined to just one neighbourhood. Whether you are an established organisation or a group of residents with a project you would like to develop, please get in touch with us.
"When GMMH became responsible for mental health services in Manchester in January 2017, we made a commitment to improve the mental wellbeing of people across the city. This fund can help make a positive difference."

The task of a filter is to allow certain frequencies to pass with low loss and attenuate other frequencies as much as possible. Attenuation varies by design and the filter is either narrowband or wideband. A bandpass filter is a combination of a low pass- and high pass filter that allows frequencies with a defined bandwidth to pass. Sometimes the purpose of a filter is to attenuate a specific frequency. Then a band-stop filter is used to block the specific frequency and to let other frequencies pass. A sharp transition between the passband and the attenuation is often requested and depends mainly on the number of filter elements.
Examples of different types of filters are crystal filters, ceramic filters, cavity filters and MEMS-filters. Crystal filters are used for sharp transition between passband and attenuation. Cavity filters are used for higher power. Cavity filters as use in transmitters and receivers to limit the bandwidth to the allowed frequency band and frequency spectrum. Cavity type diplexers has three ports and are used in transceivers to separate the transmitting frequency band from the receiver frequency band. With a diplexer a single antenna can be used for transmitting and receiving. Specific filter characteristics and frequency response is achieved by using inductors, capacitors, resistors and resonators with different values in different configurations. A certain reactance (imaginary part of the impedance) is achieved by using inductors and capacitors in the filter. Together with the resistance (real part of the impedance) the total impedance is determined as a function of frequency. Different impedance affects different frequency bands, some frequencies pass and other frequencies are attenuated.
Inductors, capacitors and resistors can be designed in different ways. The most simple inductor is a copper coil around a ferrite core, but it can also be integrated into a printed circuit board. Inductive reactance increase with frequency and capacitive reactance decrease with the frequency. Resonators have a mechanical structure with complex response on impedance that varies with differences in frequency.
Filters are often customized as much as possible to certain applications. The choice of filter topology is made depending on power handling capabilities, frequency band, noise level, physical size and cost.
A DC-block stops DC voltage and other low frequencies from entering a system, while it let other RF signals through. This way a DC-block can be considered as a high pass filter only letting RF frequencies passing through. Most of the time, DC-blocks are build up with a capacitor in series with the transmission line. When the capacitor is placed on the inner conductor it is called an Inner DC-block. There are also DC blocks with the capacitors on the outer conductor. An inner/outer DC-block has capacitors in series on both conductors.

Hip-hop is a music genre that has been taken in a plethora of directions by a vast array of people. This show will epitomize some of the more unique directions that hip-hop has been taken with a little avant-garde electronic thrown in for variety.
As one of NOLA's most notorious hip-hop acts, Boyfriend has slid out of the dark streets of the Crescent City and into the public eye. This sultry verbal assassin arms herself with female-empowered lyrics matched by a vicious delivery reminiscent of White Girl Mob. Boyfriend will showcase cuts from her "Love Your Boyfriend" EP, and she is guaranteed to set the Alchemy crowd ablaze with fresh rhymes.
Madd Wikkid will also be in town from the Big Easy. As one listens to the DJ's mix and mashes, a clear definition of NOLA electronic is formed. His cuts are heavily influenced by a variety of jazz sounds that are able to enhance any mood imaginable.
North Carolina's Mr. 88 will complete the trifecta. The hip-hop artist has been establishing his reputation across the South and beyond with an impeccable flow that weaves itself in and out of the beat.
Boyfriend, Mad Wikkid, Mr. 88
Date: Friday, Nov. 14, 9 p.m.

Small changes, big savings
While 91% of Canadian adults have at least one credit card, only half of us pay off our balance each month.1 If you're carrying a balance on your credit card and only making minimum payments, it can be easy to ignore how much your debt is costing you - but in the long-term, you might pay more than you bargained for.
The Government of Canada offers a free credit card payment calculator to show you how much money you can save on credit card debt by trying different payment options. All you need to know in order to get started is your credit card balance and interest rate. Visit the tool on the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada's website and find out how small changes in your payment schedule could lead to big savings.2
Here's how you can use the calculator to help you understand your payment options and start saving money:
Start with your minimum payment
Play around with the calculator by choosing several monthly payment options. How much did you pay on your credit card last month? Use that amount as a start. Enter this information as Option A.
For example, let's say you owe $1,300 on a credit card that has an annual interest rate of 19.99%. Your minimum payment is probably close to 2% of the balance, or about $30.
Try some different payment options
If you'd rather pay more than your minimum payment and are looking to get out of debt, try adding different amounts on top of your minimum payment. Enter this information as Option B.
For example, perhaps you want to consider paying an additional $50 on your credit card every other week ($100 a month). That would bring your total monthly payment to $130 a month.
Use the credit card calculator as many times as you like, trying different payment options and amounts."
Consider paying a fixed amount each month
Fixed payments are great for budgeting, because you know exactly how much to set aside each month toward your debt. How much do you think you could pay every month until your credit card debt is paid off? Enter this information as Option C
For example, maybe you can set aside $75 each paycheque to go towards paying off your credit card. Every month you could pay a fixed amount of $150 on your credit card debt.
Calculate and learn your options
Once you've entered all your information into the calculator, hit "Calculate" and find out your options. Under the calculator a table will appear telling you how much time it will take to pay off your credit card based on the information you supplied.
In our example, the difference in savings is drastic
If we only make the minimum payment, it will take over six years to pay off the debt and will cost almost $1,000 in interest. In comparison, by making fixed payments each month toward the debt, it will take only 10 months to pay off the balance and only cost $100 in interest — a savings of five years and almost $900.
Use the credit card calculator as many times as you like, trying different payment options and amounts. You can also find useful saving strategies at the bottom of the page.
Sometimes making payments on multiple credit cards or bills can become overwhelming. If you're having difficulty managing multiple bills or are looking for a simpler way to pay off debts, consider applying for a Fairstone bill or debt consolidation loan. Read our article about debt consolidation and find out how you can reduce your bills, restore your credit and relieve your stress.
Fairstone has been providing Canadians with loan solutions since 1923. We're here when you need us.

Contact(s): Sarah Hoye, DNR communications director, 608-400-2986, email@example.com
August 23, 2019 at 4:25:18 pm
RINGLE, Wis. - The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources this week dismantled and cleared the property where a makeshift bunker was built and occupied by a fugitive in the woods off the Ice Age Scenic Trail.
The Marathon County Sheriff's Office arrested the fugitive on Aug. 9 and transferred him to Portage County where he remains in jail, awaiting prosecution.
The individual intended to avoid contact with authorities, who had followed up on tips, said DNR Chief Warden Todd Schaller. This level of illegal camping or stay on state property is unique and highly unusual.
"Over the past several months, the Marathon County Sheriff's Office and the DNR had received sporadic and vague information on the property," Schaller said. "The Marathon County Sheriff's Office and the DNR checked and monitored the area without locating anything or signs of illegal or suspicious activity. The individual was very intentional about not being detected or the bunker being visible or found."
On Aug. 21, DNR staff removed several loads of trash and disposed of it at the Marathon County Landfill, the same location from where the material was scavenged. Staff also dismantled the bunker to eliminate any ongoing safety concerns.
"Taking care of the environment is what the DNR does," said Schaller, adding that the costs of removing the materials are part of the department's budget. "And we appreciate the teamwork of Marathon County and its use of their landfills."

As we noted today, the majority even of conservative National Review web readers seem to think Gingrich is just toying with a presidential run to sell books. Will his latest announcement change their minds? Unlikely.
The New York Times points out that Gingrich's afternoon announcement didn't actually declare his candidacy. It just said that he and his wife "had decided, after months of jointly studying whether to enter the race, to see if he could draw enough support from Republican primary voters to seriously compete for the party's nomination." That apparently means that the FCC allows him to start fundraising. Except, as The Times also reports, Gingrich apparently won't really get in the game and formally declare candidacy "until he finishes delivering paid speeches later this month and distances himself from a web of business ventures that would interfere with a campaign."
That could mean Gingrich wants to be really careful about ethics. Or it could mean he just wants to optimize earnings. We don't know. Taking our cue from Gingrich, we decline to commit to a position on this.

Nancy Leson's back from babysitting her eight-week old grand nephew in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. But it wasn't all power tools and free weights for Nancy and neph. She also found time to food shop and pack down some Carolina BBQ. First, the shopping.
Nance says the NC supermarket she visited had no bulk items or Asian or Latin products aisles. But it did have something we've never seen around here: A live herbs section where you can clip your own.
In the baking section, whole shelves full of the Southern biscuit gold standard, White Lily flour. Which for some reson triggered a TSA baggage search at her departure gate.
Nancy and I are always in search of the best biscuits and she's going to do a home biscuit bake-off comparing batch for batch with her imported White Lily and Bob's Red Mill pastry flour. Keep watching this space.
It was in Winston-Salem that Leson drank her first Cheerwine – not wine at all but a soft drink popular all through the Carolinas, West Viginia and points south, produced by the Peeler family for more than 100 years.
"It tasted just like the Frank's Black Cherry Wishniak of my Philly youth," she says. If you'd like to try The Soda-fied Pride of North Carolina you can find some right around here at WinCo stores.
Nance says it's the perfect companion to NC barbecue she had at Bib's Downtown.
"Barbecue is the third rail of North Carolina politics." – John Shelton Reed, co-Authopr of Holy Smoke, the Big Book of NC Barbecue

Designers Share the Bridesmaid Dress Trends You'll See at Every Wedding in 2018
Dress your girls in one of these trending styles.
Ready or not, wedding season will be here before you know it! As we look ahead to a new year of nuptials, we couldn't help but wonder what trends we should expect to see in bridal party fashion. According to the experts, brides are picking more fashion-forward looks for their bridesmaids. We turned to a few bridesmaid fashion experts to give us an idea of what bridesmaids will be wearing throughout 2018!
Gone are the days of only the bride wearing a lace gown on the big day. According to Rebecca Lau Marsh of White Runway, her girls will walk down the aisle in the delicate fabric, too. "Textured lace will be a huge trend in 2018 for brides and their bridesmaids," she explains. "3D lace has a romantic, ethereal, and dreamy appearance. You'll find lace epitomizes femininity in all colors, but particularly when in blush and ivory." Lindsey Bennett of Azazie agrees, adding, "We're talking full lace gowns that have a more casual feel but still appropriate for weddings!"
If you attended a number of weddings last year, you probably saw at least one bridal party donning white dresses. Expect to see that trend stick around this year, too. Designer Joanna August says that "minimal" will be the word of the season, making ivory frocks all the more appropriate. "All white everything for the bride and her best gals," August says. "Super crisp and clean with a side of pure romance." Marsh excepts the trend to last beyond just this season. "This is not ending any time soon," she explains. "Ivory bridesmaid dresses give a clean, cohesive, and dramatic look to weddings. Pair them with bright bouquets and décor for a luxe look."
Caped Dresses
Caped wedding dresses ruled the latest bridal runways, and now that trend is spilling over into the world of bridesmaids. "Caped dresses are completely chic and will add just the right amount of drama to your bridal party look," says Marsh. "They're also super flattering."
Sleeved Dresses
Although this trend will certainly be most popular during the cooler months, expect to see it all year long. "There usually isn't a bridesmaid dress trend that suits a winter wedding, but sleeves are the way to go in 2018," explains Marsh. And there are tons of ways to make long sleeves look interesting. "Whether it's off shoulder sleeves, sheer lace sleeves, flared sleeves, or bubble sleeves, you cannot go wrong!" August loves long sleeves for 'maids, too. "Think lots of volume and drapey bell sleeves," she adds.
Sexy Dresses
August also cites figure-hugging dresses as having a major moment. "The bride will shine from the front, but her 'maids will take the cake with their tasteful yet flirty back," she says. Bennett adds that legs with slits will be hugely popular this year. "Time to show off those legs!" she says.
Go for something a little more glamorous by way of a beaded or jeweled gown. "These embellished details are making their way into bridesmaid dresses this year," Bennett says. "We're seeing lots of beaded details on straps and belts to add a touch of glam."
High Necklines
Say goodbye to that sweetheart neckline. Bennett says 2018 will be the year of the high neckline.

Corcoran Street Ginkgos' Removals Reveal Failure by DC to Follow its Rules
Published: December 12th, 2009
By P.L. Wolff
[Note: Photographs accompanying this news story in the print edition can be viewed in the full PDF copy in the Current & Back Issues Archive.]
The sudden, unannounced appearance of a city tree removal crew with accompanying machinery in the 1700 block of Corcoran Street in late November took residents by surprise and unleashed furious controversy as neighbors watched what appeared to be the start of plan to take down what many consider to be the street's crowning glory — the two rows of mature ginkgo trees.
Apparently, what put into motion this work was a request by the constituent services director in Ward 2 Councilmember Evans' office to the city's transportation department (DDOT), which has responsibility for street tree maintenance, that they respond to several complaints about the nuisance caused by the annual dropping of the noxious berries by taking down the female trees that are the cause of the problem.
This action, however, was in violation of DDOT's own published procedures, revised four years ago, titled "Female Ginkgo Tree Removal Policy," which guarantees that nothing will be done unless a minimum of 60 percent of property owners in the block concur.
In republishing its document outlining procedures, DDOT's Urban Forestry Administration (UFA) states that it "has established a new policy for property owners who are concerned about the yearly inconvenience caused by the offensive odor and mess associated with falling female Ginkgo tree fruit." Removed trees would then be replaced by male ginkgos.
Specifically, the delineated procedures state that the four criteria listed below must be met "before any determination will be made to remove the tree":
"[1] The abutting property owner must concur with the proposed removal.
"[2] The tree must be a female Ginkgo tree exhibiting a current year fruit problem.
"[3] The heaviest fruiting trees, per block, will be considered for removal first.
"[4] No more than 20 percent of the total trees on any given block will be removed in any given year. If the problem exceeds 20 percent of the block, a removal rotation will be planned."
If the four criteria are met, then the procedures call for the following:
"[1] Submit a petition to UFA identifying the tree(s) in question, and the name, address, and contact number of all the property owners on that block. Each property owner on the block must sign to agree or disagree with the petition, and only one "vote" per property will be accepted in the final count. If a signature is not provided for a particular address, UFA will assume that the property owner(s) at this address do not agree with the petition.
"[2] At least 60 percent of the property owners must agree with the proposed removal(s) for the petition to be considered. In the case of owner-occupied apartment buildings, a single vote from the governing body of the building will count as the vote for that property.
"[3] Once this threshold is met, UFA will forward the petition to the elected City Council Member within the affected ward, as well as the Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC). The ANC will have 60 days to respond in writing.
"[4] UFA will schedule the removals based on staffing levels and contract funding availability – usually within six months. Replanting will occur after removal in the next cycle's planting season."
As we were going to press The InTowner learned that DDOT officials have indicated that no tree removals will occur in the absence of adherence to its procedures and that they will actively engage residents of affected blocks in direct consultation.

On Lubbock City Council's Tuesday agenda for executive session is a lawsuit filed against the city regarding the use of lethal force.
Paul Valderas claims Officer Billy Mitchell unlawfully shot him multiple times during a drug bust in 2017. Valderas is paralyzed from the chest-down.
Valderas's attorney provided surveillance video.
A judge later ruled the officer cannot be sued.
According to investigators, the drug trafficking suspect pulled a gun and did not listen to demands to drop the weapon. Officer Mitchell then shot him.
A grand jury declined charges against Officer Mitchell. Mitchell is still a member of the Lubbock Police Department.
Valderas is awaiting trial for charges of drug dealing and being a felon with a gun.

In our highly connected data-oriented world, we are seeing a huge shift in how consumers interact in the digital space. The use of mobile apps is growing exponentially, and certainly dominates as a means of staying connected compared to traditional access to the Internet using desktop computers. In that light, on May 3, 2017, the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (DAAC) released guidance and tools to enhance the consumer choice experience when interacting in the mobile environment.
The Self-Regulatory Principles of Online Behavioural Advertising ("OBA Principles") were developed in 1992 when the app environment wasn't prevalent. At that time, the DAAC focused heavily on being transparent about, and providing choices with respect to, the installation of cookies. The new guidelines focus on transparency and control for cross-app data – data that is collected from a particular device regarding application use over time and that is shared across other apps for the purposes of delivering interest-based advertising. The guidelines also speaks to transparency and control for precise location data and personal directory data, stating that "clear, meaningful and prominent notice" of disclosures of such data to any third parties must be given by the app owner.
The guidelines also highlight that sensitive personal information should not be used for the purpose of delivering interest-based ads within an app, and that appropriate safeguards must be in place to protect corss-app data, precise location data and personal directory data from loss, theft or unauthorized access.
DAAC's new AppChoices app is also now available for androids and iphones – it can be used to opt out from the collection and sharing of cross-app data on one's device for interest-based advertising by some or all of the companies participating in AppChoices.
