Redbox to Distribute Movies Through Lionsgate, Also License Programming From Mini-Major
Redbox expects to release 36 titles a year
Redbox Entertainment has announced an agreement with Lionsgate--yes, a strategic one--to have the Vancouver-based "mini-major" studio distribute its original movies.
Redbox will also license movies and TV shows for its AVOD and FAST platforms.
Redbox, which is currently in the process of raising capital through a SPAC-based initial public offering on Wall Street, aims to beef up its programming libraries with original titles that are amortized on the open global market before they reach Redbox On Demand and Redbox Free Live TV.
The Lionsgate agreement is probably Redbox's biggest yet in terms of underpinning the original movie portion of a business model that's based on transitioning around 40 million "late adopter" DVD rental kiosk customers into regular users of TVOD, AVOD and FAST services.
Recently released Redbox Entertainment films includes biopic Capone starring Tom Hardy; World War II thriller Shadow in the Cloud starring Chloë Grace Moretz and Nick Robinson; and Euro train heist drama SAS: Red Notice, featuring Sam Heughan and Ruby Rose.
"Redbox has a large slate of films coming in 2022 and beyond, and we're excited to work with Lionsgate to identify those that are a great fit for their distribution model," said Galen Smith, CEO of Redbox. "[Lionsgate President of Worldwide Distribution, Motion Picture Group] Ron Schwartz and his team have been terrific partners over the years, and we are excited to extend our relationship to tap into their world class distribution prowess to create value for both companies."
Added Schwartz: "Lionsgate's longstanding partnership with Redbox has created significant value for both our companies. That collaboration has evolved into a multifaceted distribution relationship across home entertainment, SVOD and AVOD platforms that allows us to continue to diversify our content offering to our consumers."

Project Details
[unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Available evidence indicates that cancer survivors have low levels of physical activity. This increases their risk for a number of chronic illnesses for which, as cancer survivors, they may already be at heightened risk. Additionally, inactivity may adversely impact cancer survivors' health-related quality of life. Lung cancer survivors are especially likely to have low levels of physical activity, given their older age, frequent comorbid conditions, and common experience of disease- and treatment-related effects. No previous research has examined the physical activity levels of lung cancer survivors, who comprise 4% of all cancer survivors in the United States. We address this important knowledge gap in the proposed study. Some previous research has begun to examine the factors associated with cancer survivors' physical activity levels. There are limitations of this research, which we address in the proposed study of lung cancer survivors by examining a comprehensive set of physical activity covariates drawn from social cognitive theory, previous empirical findings, and a consideration of the characteristics of lung cancer survivors. The specific aims of the proposed study are: (1) To establish the physical activity levels of lung cancer survivors; and (2) To identify covariates of physical activity among lung cancer survivors. In the proposed cross-sectional study, 200 lung cancer survivors will complete a telephone interview regarding their physical activity levels and covariates of physical activity. Additionally, accelerometer-based objective physical activity data will be obtained from 30 of the 200 participants. The proposed study will provide a much-needed knowledge base for the design of future interventions to increase lung cancer survivors' physical activity levels. The study results will also shed light on subgroups of lung cancer survivors for whom such interventions may be most needed. Additionally, the results of the proposed study will enhance current knowledge of lung cancer survivorship, which is underrepresented within the burgeoning survivorship literature.

The Lakeshore Chinooks have added two hard-hitting outfielders to the 2014 line-up. Brett Siddall (Canisius College) and Logan Leverett (Illinois State) will add depth to the outfield and will compete for at-bats in the highly competitive Northwoods League.
The versatile Brett Siddall, who will also add depth at 1B, is off to a hot start for the Golden Griffins of Canisius. After missing the first few weeks of the season, the sophomore is hitting .300 with 4 RBI and a .600 slugging percentage. As a freshman, Siddall hit .318, including seven doubles, two triples, one home run, and 29 RBI, with ten of those RBI coming in the eighth inning or later. A native of Windsor, Ontario, the 6'0" slugger played for Canada at the International Baseball Federation 18U World Championship in Seoul, South Korea and earned All-Tournament with Team Canada at the Americas World Junior Tournament.
Logan Leverett is making the transition to Division I baseball with the Redbirds after playing for Southeastern Illinois Community College. At 6'2" and 230 lbs., Leverett has the strength and size to follow in the footsteps of two other Redbird hitters who made their marks with the Chinooks, Eric Aguilera (2012) and Mike Hollenbeck (2013). The burly outfielder from Harrisburg, IL hit .350 with five home runs and 25 RBI last season after hitting eight home runs as a freshman.
Siddall and Leverett will make their way to Mequon at the end of their college seasons, in which both programs will be in contention for trips to the 2014 NCAA Tournament.
The Chinooks will play their 2014 home opener on Thurday, May 29 at 6:35pm against the Mankato Moondogs. The first 1,500 fans in attendance will receive a 2014 schedule magnet and a bobblehead of Chinooks minority owner Bob Uecker! Season tickets (Full, 12-, and 6-game packs) are available now. Call the Chinooks office at 262-618-4659 to reserve your seats today. Single game tickets will go on sale Monday, April 28th. Tickets to the 2014 Northwoods League All-Star Game at Kapco Park are now available for sale at lakeshorechinooks.com or by calling 262-618-4659.
The Lakeshore Chinooks are a member of the finest developmental league for elite college baseball players, the Northwoods League. Playing its 21st season of summer collegiate baseball, the Northwoods League is the largest organized baseball league in the world with 18 teams, drawing significantly more fans, in a friendly ballpark experience, than any league of its kind. A valuable training ground for coaches, umpires and front office staff, more than 115 Northwoods League players have advanced to Major League Baseball, including Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer (DET) and MLB All-Stars Chris Sale (CWS), Jordan Zimmermann (WAS), Curtis Granderson (NYM), Allen Craig (STL) and Ben Zobrist (TB). All league games are viewable live and free of charge via the Northwoods League YouTube channel. For more information, visit www.lakeshorechinooks.com.

The New Yorker, September 13, 1958 P. 33
Talk story about the International Law Association's conference here; and about attending a reception for the delegates given by the Amer. Arbitration Association. Reporter's guide was Charlie Monaghan, an NYU information attache. More than 400 lawyers, law professors & kindred thinkers--2/3 of them visitors from 27 countries--are here to discuss such problems as air law, space law, UN Charter reforms, etc. The Association was founded 85 years ago in Brussels. Brief talk with the Association's Secretary-General, W. Harvey Moore, of the United Kingdom. He mentioned 3 Americans who were responsible for the founding of the Association: Elihu Burritt, Rev. Dr. Miles, and David Dudley Field. Brief chat with Professor Milan Bartos, the Association's outgoing president, who is from Yugoslavia. He was succeeded by Oscar R. Houston, senior partner in the local admiralty-law firm of Bigham, Englar, Jones & Houston.

Another cold night coming for southeast Nebraska, but the good news is that with clouds overhead it will not drop as cold as Tuesday morning when temperatures fell to 0° to -22°.
We will have a small warm-up Wednesday before we start heading back down Thursday and in to early next week. Right now it looks like the coldest of the cold stretch will come for Valentine's Day. Low temperatures Sunday morning will approach -20° and the high temperature will struggle to climb above 0°.
TONIGHT: Mainly cloudy. A few snow showers possible in northern third of the state. Lows will be from -4° to 4°. Wind chill values will drop to -15° to -10°.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy skies and a little warmer. Temperatures will top out from 8° to 14°. Wind chill values will be from -3° to 3° during the afternoon.
THURSDAY: Mainly cloudy with light snow possible. Highs will be in the single digits.
The temperature at the Lincoln airport dropped to at least -18° Tuesday morning. That is the coldest temperature in 1,135 days for the capital city. Back on January 1, 2018 it dropped to -19°.
To give some perspective, only 0.2% of days have produced a temperature dropping to -18° since 1887 in Lincoln.
Not only was it cold, it felt even colder. The wind chill dropped as low as -34° at 1:45 a.m. and again at 2:35 a.m. Tuesday. The last time the wind chill dropped to that level in Lincoln it was 8 a.m. on January 10, 1997.
If you have been thinking that you can't remember it being this cold this time of year, for most you are correct. The last time it has been this cold between February 6 and February 9 is nearly 90 years ago.
This stretch now ranks as the 3rd coldest since weather records began in Lincoln back in the 19th century. With bitterly cold air for the foreseeable future it will be interesting to see how this stretch ranks.

CTAN also has a package latexcount (see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/ latexcount.html), which looks like it should do the same. These should be a lot more accurate than using "detex | wc -w", especially if you have lots of home-grown macros that generate lumps of text (as I do).

The Black-browed Albatross showed on and off all morning, whilst I sat forlornly at my desk. I turned my phone off and focussed my attention on work, vowing to head to the coast after tea. The bird flew north at midday and there were no further reports by the time I put my phone back on after work. Not to be deterred, we would still go, we couldn't not.
We headed east. I had a feeling of dread and creeping anxiety and nearly u-turned before we'd escaped the village, but I realised that an evening at Bempton Cliffs in the height of the breeding season was eminently better than sitting at home, fretting over what could have been. After an uneventful drive, we arrived at Bempton Cliffs car park without any news on the bird, which by now, had been missing for several hours.
As we got our gear ready, a nearby bloke was chatting to a couple who said they'd seen some guy running because somebody had claimed they'd seen it. I asked when this was - 'ten minutes ago' was the surprising reply. We left nothing but dust in the car park.
Heading down to New Rollup, we were soon watching the albatross on the sea. Relief! She* was back. Still distant, but without heat haze and with warm evening light, the views were reasonable. We squinted through scopes as the bird gradually drifted east with a few comparatively tiny Fulmars for company. I willed the bird to come in to the cliffs. An hour passed, the bird preened, did an occasional wing stretch, but generally just loafed and drifted with the tide. Was I going to leave frustrated for a third time?
*I have no real idea whether this bird is a male or female, but I will go with the latter.
Without warning, the albatross suddenly pattered across the water and took flight. Panic! Philip who had been letting an old lady have a look through his scope struggled for a minute to get back on the bird, but shortly did so as people called out directions. The bird, like a WW2 bomber, gently gained height and headed straight towards us, on impossibly long wings. It was finally going to happen! She was coming in, gradually closing the distance between us. I was locked on to her; nothing else mattered and time stood still. Her features became apparent; that stylish black eye-brow, the long, orange-tipped yellow beak, the ash-grey tail and pale primary streaks on otherwise black wings. Everything else in the world was just noise at that moment; I felt like the only person witnessing this monumental event.
She approached the mighty edifice of Staple Newk, and cruised round on dead straight black wings, a giant cruciform dwarfing the throngs of Gannets. After a number of circuits, she rose in altitude and then came directly towards us half way up the cliffs, passing within a few metres below. We piled over to other side of the platform and saw her u-turn, heading back towards Staple. She arced round, among the blizzard of Razorbills and Kittiwakes, an aerial queen among her minions.
After a while, it was clear she was keen to land on the slope above the arch where a lot of young Gannets were hanging out. Huge grey feet on surprisingly long legs were lowered as she made her approach.
Several times she tried before succeeding, disappearing onto a shelf, obscured by part of the cliff. It was obvious where she was, as the surrounding Gannets all stood and stared at her, in wonder. Once or twice, a pair of huge black wings, with white linings, rose up above the rocks as she stretched. Would that be the end of her breathtaking performance? After 15 minutes, she unexpectedly waddled out into the open, and proceeded to do a little head-tossing display, tidied up a patch of cliff and then settled down.
We watched her, beaming like Yorkshire cats until the dusk turned the blue sea purple and the Gannets began to hunker down for the night.
What a majestic and awe-inspiring bird. She was worth every minute of the four year wait, every anxious drive to the coast and every despairing dip. I have been lucky enough to have seen plenty of rare birds in this country but none will be as memorable, or magical as this Black-browed Albatross.

Don't Forget To Plant A Backyard "Potato Pharmacy" This Year
It's easy to grow and harvest potatoes for your backyard potato pharmacy from the soil.
Potatoes are one of those basic vegetables that have crossed cultures in the last 400 years, and no wonder! They can be baked, fried, boiled, mashed and mixed with other things. They can be a hearty part of soups and stews. If your vegetable budget is limited, potatoes provide vitamins and minerals, and can even have first-aid applications.
Native to the northern part of South America, they have become a staple across the world. But everyone should know that there are also a number of benefits and uses for potatoes that are not so commonly known. All reasons you should plant your very own backyard potato pharmacy.
Here Are Just A few "Backyard Potato Pharmacy" Uses And Benefits:
Chock full of Vitamins: Vitamin C and antioxidants help reduce cell damage and can even help prevent macular degeneration. Potatoes are high in vitamin C, antioxidants, vitamin A and vitamin B. To preserve the vitamins, cook the potatoes in their jackets – steam or microwave is best.
Save that Potato Water If You Get Constipated: When you boil potatoes, some of the vitamins leach into the water. If you drain them, you are draining off part of the vitamins. If you are feeling constipated, mix 2 tablespoons of potato water and 2 tablespoons of honey and drink it down to get things moving along. Drink before eating breakfast for a better outlook on the rest of the day.
Boost your Mood: If you are having a dreary day, potatoes can make it better. Seriously! Cozy some mashed potatoes up to a meal with turkey. The turkey is high in tryptophan, and the carbs in the potatoes trigger a nice insulin release (unless you eat too many) which fast-tracks tryptophan, giving it a nice quick ride to your brain, where it helps release serotonin, the neurotransmitter that helps regulate your mood.
Relieve Itchy Skin: Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is an itchy, red rash that sometimes goes with hay fever and other allergic reactions. You can relieve it by grating a potato, dip a bit of gauze bandaging in the potato juice to reduce the inflammation.
First Aid for Splinters: Grate or slice a potato, and bind it over a stubborn splinter. Alternatively, hollow out a place in a whole potato, and stick the finger or toe that has a sliver inside the potato. Leave the potato poultice on overnight, and the splinter should come out quickly and easily.
First Aid for Burns: Take the "ow!" out of minor burns by applying cold potato water or grated potato to draw out the heat.
Eliminate Dark Eye Circles: Put grated potato in a piece of thin cloth, and place it over your eyes – one sack to each eye. Relax for at least 15 minutes with the grated potato in place. Repeat daily, and the circles should start to fade.
Fast First-Aid for Boils: Boils are a painful condition, but potatoes can really help. Grate the potato, and apply the wet potato right on the boil. Chemicals that naturally occur in potatoes will help bring the boil to a head and leach out the infection. Keep the potato on the boil for 10 to 20 minutes, and then clean it thoroughly. Repeat twice daily.

NYC Adds Nearly 4,000 People Who Never Tested Positive To Coronavirus Death Tolls
New York City added nearly 4,000 people who never tested positive for the coronavirus to its death toll Tuesday, bringing coronavirus-related deaths in the city to around 10,000 people.
The city decided to add 3,700 people to its death tolls, who they "presumed" to have died from the virus, according to a report from The New York Times. The additions increased the death toll in the U.S. by 17%, according to the Times report, and included people who were suffering from symptoms of the virus, such as intense coughing and a fever.
The report stated that Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio decided over the weekend to change the way the city is counting deaths.
"In the heat of battle, our primary focus has been on saving lives," de Blasio press secretary Freddi Goldstein told the Times."As soon as the issue was raised, the mayor immediately moved to release the data."

Only four players remain in contention at the Nature Valley International in Eastbourne. Three bona fide stars and a streaking underdog are left. Who will make it to Saturday's final? Check out our picks below.
WTA Eastbourne Semifinal Predictions
Ons Jabeur vs Angelique Kerber
Head to Head: first meeting
Jabeur is the Cinderella story of Eastbourne. The Tunisian, who started the week with just six wins on the season, has climbed roughly 60 spots in the Race to Singapore with her triumphs over Evgeniya Rodina, Mandy Minella, Johanna Konta, and Alize Cornet. Three of those wins came after dropping the opening set. In contrast, Kerber has looked absolutely commanding, dismissing Samantha Stosur, Rebecca Peterson and Simona Halep in straights. Jabeur has let his forehand fly this week whenever her feet are well positioned. Besides, her change-of-pace drop shots have often wreaked havoc.
Unfortunately for Jabeur, Kerber is arguably the best defender on tour. Not only that, but the German's flat strokes really penetrate on grass. Her inside out and inside in flat forehands are truly fearsome on this surface. Jabeur must go for broke, hit her targets on a regular basis and that might still not suffice versus Kerber. The reigning Wimbledon champion will force Jabeur to hit many shots from weaker stances where she isn't nearly as effective.
Prediction: Kerber in 2
(EDIT: Unfortunately, Jabeur suffered an ankle injury prior to the match and withdrew from the tournament. Kerber received a walkover into the final.)
Kiki Bertens vs Karolina Pliskova
Head to Head: Bertens 3-2 Pliskova
Folks, we are in for a tremendous lower half semifinal. Bertens and Pliskova have collected 34 and 33 wins respectively in 2019, trailing only World No. 1 Ashleigh Barty's 38 victories. Since her defeat to Petra Kvitova at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix of Stuttgart in April, Bertens has played 20 matches. If we take out of the equation her second round retirement at Roland Garros against Viktoria Kuzmova when trailing 3-1, the Dutch has won an impressive 19 first sets in a row. Bertens is putting pressure on her opponents from the get-go, and swimming against the tide against a player of her magnitude isn't precisely easy.
This week, the 27-year-old cruised past Yulia Putintseva and Anna-Lena Friedsam before gutting out a competitive duel against the resurgent Aryna Sabalenka 6-4 3-6 6-4. Meanwhile, Pliskova dropped just 11 games en route to the semis. The 2017 Nature Valley International champion dominated Margarita Gasparyan, Elise Mertens and Ekaterina Alexandrova both on serve and return. Beating Bertens is a much taller order, though.
Their overall ELO Ratings are eerily similar. On paper, that suggests a closely contested matchup. Ultimately, I believe Pliskova arrives at this stage a bit fresher so I favor her to advance.
Prediction: Pliskova in 3

Dead Space First Day ImpressionsTuesday, January 20th, 2009
Even though I had to wait a whole extra day to get Dead Space from Gamefly — thank you very much, Dr. King — I think the wait was worth it. Oh, wait, no, the wait is never worth it, but I am dealing with it the best way I can.
Dead Space came out a few months ago, so it's not like I was waiting for it on the first day of its release, so a extra day in honor of a great man and civil rights leader is just fine. Although, my boyfriend did try and tell me that Inauguration Day was also a feederal holiday and there would be no mail today either, but he said the look of abject horror on my face was enough to tell me the truth — eventually.
So, first impressions…it's a pretty intense game. I am playing it on easy, and I'm glad I did. I reminds me a little of Dead Rising in that once a zombie-like necromorph you struggle and have to press a button repeatedly to try and knock the damn thing off.
You play a guy named Isaac. You are a mechanic-kinda guy on the way to one of the largest mining ships in the, I don't know, feederation or something. The mining ship, the Ishimura, has lost all communications — a communications blackout, if you will, and you are there to figure out what's wrong and to fix it.
The problem is akin to Aliens. You have some expensive equipment rotting away in space, a -->lot of people are part of the mystery -->, and you show up ill-equipped to deal with the problem. And that is what makes a great video game.
Also like Dead Rising, you get objectives to achieve and a little map helps you get there. There are your teammates to tell you what to do as well. I am happy to have some direction…
The visuals are pretty amazing. The derelict hull is blood-spattered and graffiti-ed out. Abandoned luggage is everywhere, so you know those on the Ishimura were in a hurry to get the hell away from something. Maybe this guy…

Lucknow: A 17-year-old girl was reported missing from Kotwali area of Bhadohi on 17th August. Police had initially registered a case of kidnapping under IPC section 363. However three days later locals reported a body floating in the river close to the spot where the girl was last seen. The body was fished out and identified as that of the missing minor.
Family members have alleged that the minor who had gone out to graze cattle was raped & killed. Also, the body was allegedly burnt to hide her identity. Police prima facie confirms allegations of the victim's family.
Close kin of the victim has named the owner of a brick kiln in the area as one of the suspects. The family has alleged that the accused abducted the victim from outside the village, raped her in a secluded place and then burnt her body with acid to mutilate her face. Agitated villagers raised slogans demanding justice as the body was carried away.
UP Police has registered a case under POCSO and formed four teams to nab the accused. Police is also taking the help of the crime branch to solve the case. SP Ram Badan Singh said the body of the victim has been sent for postmortem examination.
Recently several cases of crime against minor girls have been reported from UP. Earlier similar cases of rape & mutilation were reported from Hapur, Lakhimpur Kheri, Gorakhpur and now Bhadohi.
While the accused in Hapur case, where a six-year-old was raped, was nabbed after an encounter two accused each has been arrested in Lakhimpur Kheri & Gorakhpur cases as well.

Conventional fishing wisdom says that the best way to get kids hooked on fishing is to find an area that is saturated with sunfish, then drown some worms. The action will be hot and the kids will stay interested.
It's not bad advice, but doesn't take into account the fact that kids like to catch big fish (or what they believe are big fish). Catching dink sunfish is fun for a little while, but when the bobber goes down and you know it's a 4-inch bluegill, it's easy to think about doing other stuff. Spice things up with a little variety!
I write this, because I'm living it with my twin 5-year-olds. They want big fish, and they want a lot of them. That, for us, means it's time to find largemouth. We target bass all season long, and – I might get booted out of hardcore bass circles for writing this – sometimes even with live bait.
I know, I know, but it's for the kids, I swear. I've yet to meet a largemouth that could eyeball a wriggling leach or a frantic fathead minnow and decide either wasn't worth eating. They're not wired that way, and it's pretty exciting to see a Jaws-level "V" cruising toward your bait, then realizing that it's on.
The spots that largemouth frequent, especially this time of year, can pose somewhat of a challenge considering they might need to be wrestled out of a lilypad bed or maybe a thatch of pencil reeds. That's part of the allure and a large part of the fun. Your kids will lose some fish, sure, but they'll also have the chance to really feel like they did something if they coerce a largemouth into the net.
This summer, forget the bluegills if you've got kids who've taken an interest in fishing. Get them on some largemouth, and watch how they take to it. After one decent day on the water, they'll be begging for more – trust me.

Pep Guardiola has admitted he doesn't know if Rodri will be available for Manchester City's Champions League game against Copenhagen on Wednesday.
The midfielder missed the weekend win over Manchester United as the Blues netted six against their bitter rivals.
Prior to the derby, Rodri was one of just five City players who had started all seven Premier League matches this season, while no outfield member of the squad had managed more minutes than the Spaniard.
But Guardiola revealed in the build-up to the derby that Rodri was missing due to 'more than niggles in his legs' and Ilkay Gundogan occupied the role at the base of midfield which is usually reserved for Rodri.
Speaking after the derby, Guardiola said he is uncertain how long the Spain international will be absent for.
"There are many games and the next game against Copenhagen we are going to rotate the team," he explained.
"It's [matches every] three days, three days, three days. Kalvin [Phillips] is injured for a long time and Rodri, I don't know when he will come back."
Without Rodri, City may have to stick with the midfield three of Gundogan, Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne, although Julian Alvarez is an option in an advanced role.
Phillips' injury is also an untimely one for Guardiola, with the former Leeds United man undergoing surgery on a recurring shoulder injury during the recent international break.
Guardiola's comments about rotation also imply that there could be several changes in midweek for the Copenhagen clash, with Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte, Sergio Gomez, Riyad Mahrez and Julian Alvarez among five who could be introduced to the side.

Why is baseball no longer an American Game?
Major League Baseball is finally back. Despite the lockdowns and delays on Opening Day, the players will actually take to the pitch. When my father, born in 1927, was my age, Opening Day was one of the biggest events on the sports calendar.
For his son, it was just another day. It's not that I don't like baseball — I do. That baseball is not a sport that stands out above all the others in my mind.
My family's story is part of a larger story of America's declining interest in baseball and the changing of generations.
The sport, once the most popular in the country, has had many problems that have earned it, at best, second place in America's hearts. This is especially true among young Americans.
Only 11% of adults listed baseball as their favorite sport to watch in the 2021 Washington Post poll. That puts it well behind football (34%) and tied with basketball for the second favorite sport. Football and "something else" (e.g. esports/competitive video games) lag behind by 7%.
As the polls looked more in-depth, the baseball problem became clearer — and even scarier. Only 7% of those under 30 said baseball was their favorite sport. It ranks fifth behind football (24%), basketball (17%), "something else" (12%) and football (10%).
While these fans love being at the ballpark, only 11% of all adults and 7% of people under 30 in the US list baseball as their favorite sport.
To put baseball's overall 11% in perspective, there were more baseball fans the last time there was a layoff in 1994. In the average Gallup poll that year, 19% of Americans said baseball was their favorite sport.
While the 1994 baseball strike may have damaged the popularity of the sport, the truth is that baseball has been in decline for a while. Baseball hasn't ranked as America's favorite sport to watch since 1960, when 34% said it did. Football that year got less than 0.5%, while football got 21% support. In the next poll that Gallup conducted on the matter in 1972, baseball was second only to football.
TV Awakening
The fact that 1960 was the last time baseball reigned is important. The sports landscape has changed dramatically from 62 years ago.
One of the big reasons baseball is no longer the darling of the American sport is competition and the dawn of the television era.
The NFL didn't sign its first league-wide TV contract until 1962; it causes every game to be shown on television and each team receives a share of the revenue pie. This happened at the same time that the AFL – a rival league that would eventually merge with the NFL – was starting to play and sign league-wide TV deals on its own.
After this point, this means that more than 20 of their contest teams are televised, and the country has universal access to pro games. Plus, the Super Bowl would start in 1967. The NFL, of course, is a very rewarding sport to look at. Baseball, on the other hand, doesn't make much of a difference from radio to television.
Another sport that is better visually than audibly is basketball. The NBA was less than 15 years old in 1960. There were only eight NBA teams at the time — half the size of professional baseball or football. The NBA Finals would not be shown in its entirety nationally until 1970.
The country is years away from the successful professional football league of the 1960s – let alone an incarnation of MLS. Now, a football fan can watch matches from here and across the Atlantic Ocean — the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League, for example — with ease.
As for other sports, there are only six NHL teams compared to 32 today. And the idea of competitive video games is a sci-fi fantasy and totally impossible.
Increased competition and the use of screens to watch sports come at an inopportune time for baseball.
If bored, Americans can change channels very quickly. On social media platforms like TikTok, things go faster than a bullet train. Baseball is anything but fast as far as Americans are concerned.
Check out this 2007 Gallup poll where people who weren't pro baseball fans were asked why they didn't like the sport. The top two reasons given were boring/uninteresting (31%) and games too slow/too long (21%).

"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:"
King James Version (KJV)
Jack's comment on 2015-01-30 07:40:27:
People should pray for the ability to hear the truth, and not believe the truth.
Waqas's comment on 2015-01-26 21:04:56:
Holy spirit was already there on earth since Adam, Abraham.
Rev. Autrey's comment on 2014-05-30 14:11:00:
Verse 26 "But I will send you the Counselor, the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will tell you about me. " The Holy Spirit is the way God inspires us to believe in what he is doing as Jesus. That is way Jesus said "he will tell you about me. " Here is the point, just as our human spirit makes us intelliegent about us, God 's Spirit makes us intelligent about the things of God. This means that when a person has God 's Spirit, he will know God as Jesus, and be able to tell others about him, too. Let me say it this way. The Holy Spirit does not make us empty headed and nonsensical. This is not helping us to understand Jesus. Nor does he make us fall on the floor and pass out. This surely does not help us understand Jesus. And he surely does not make us run around the church and act as if we have no mind. Let 's make the point If you see someone acting out of their mind, it is not the work of God 's Spirit. It is the work of Satan. May God bless you!
Timothy Wayne George's comment on 2013-02-17 08:06:10:
When the Paraclete comes, whom the Father will send, He will guide you into all truth. The Comforter or Paraclete is the Holy Spirit, and He takes the Word of God, and makes Jesus known to us. He does not speak of Himself, but He points us to Jesus by coming along side of us, and indwelling us. The Holy Spirit seals us until the day of redemption, and testifies to us that we are the children of God.
cool ansh's comment on 2013-02-16 08:40:51:
I'm getting a little confused here about who actually Jesus meant by the comforter? Can someone explain to me please? Thanks.
Qamer's comment on 2011-04-28 10:13:16:
I think Jesus is talking about another Prophet of God. Holy spirit was already there on earth according to Bible. So he is talking about Muhammad who was the only prophet who testify Jesus in the Quran.
Naser Fahad Jinnah's comment on 2011-01-04 04:38:13:
Ahmed or Muhammad meaning the one who praises or the praised one is almost the translation of the
Greek word Periclytos. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7. The word 'Comforter' is used in the English translation for the Greek word Paracletos which means advocate or a kind friend rather than a comforter.
Paracletos is the warped reading for Periclytos. Jesus (pbuh) actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the Greek word Paraclete refers to the Prophet (pbuh) who is a mercy for all creatures.
Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise that the prophecy clearly says that only if Jesus (pbuh) departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that the
Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus (pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth, and again when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc. Hence this prophecy refers to none other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

1 month changes your daily life
Give other people
Tinder. Bumble. okay Cupid. A lot of Fish. Hinge. Coffee Suits Bagel. I've come on every one of these internet.
All I was interested in was actually a great chap exactly who enjoys Jesus. Essentially he'd become handsome, incorporate a golden retriever, sit over six legs large, and also a position. We thought self-confident flirting, knew just how to crop my personal images and so I checked ten pounds leaner, but I never knew how exactly to inquire if he had been Christian. Inquiring this concern in-person to somebody we know was actually shameful sufficient. Therefore I got clueless on exactly how to bring it upwards online.
When I first started swiping, I'd a great deal to see. I understood from college that more occasions than maybe not, the individuals you follow grow to be crappy people. Or at least they managed individuals bad. We easily noticed I happened to be in uncharted territory. Whenever you're on a big campus you may have individuals everywhere whom you will get an impression from on another individual. You may even know who they've outdated in earlier times and how it concluded. You've read gossip about all of them. But once you are online dating, you really don't have anything. Making meeting a stranger off the online even riskier.
You Have To Be Creepy
Within my then existence, I'll end up being an FBI agent. In the event that you offer myself a primary identity and ten minutes, I'm able to inform you where they work and who they took to prom. Possibly which makes me personally insane—but with regards to net dating, it creates me personally wise. You HAVE to know just what you're taking walks into. They brings up my personal early in the day aim. Once you learn anybody for the real life you've got everyone it is possible to vet them through. Even common connections could be a resource.

Ambition without principles
The "New Labour" leaders who ran Britain for more than a decade didn't have two principles to rub together, concludes Irish journalist and socialist.
THERE ARE some who sneer at Nelson McCausland, the Northern Ireland government minister, for believing that God made the world in six working days back in the summer of 4004 B.C.
But at least Nelson doesn't believe--as far as I know--that the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq have made Britain safer by encouraging young Muslims to look favorably on the role of the West in Muslim lands.
But that's what former New Labour Home Secretary Jacqui Smith believes. Or so she says.
Smith was on the radio on Sunday morning explaining that the government she was part of until sacked last year following stories to do with porn movies (rented by her husband) and second-home expenses (inadvertently claimed) had never really put a foot wrong on foreign policy.
I listened to this as I turned the last few pages of Peter Mandelson's vanilla-scented autobiography The Third Man. Mandelson, a top official in the Labour Party governments of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, doesn't go so far as to suggest that the occupation of Muslim lands, or the no-nonsense tactics of "Our Boys in Basra," or the rendering of kidnap victims into the hands of torturers have turned potential recruits for al-Qaeda into applicants for the Territorial Army. But he sees no reason to look back in angst at the key decisions either.
Perhaps it says something about the loyalty of senior Labour figures to one another that two people who had something of a torrid time in government now have no serious criticisms to make of their colleagues' decisions.
On matters such as terrorism, invasions, assassinations, advances in thumbscrew technology, etc., Mandelson is all "comme ci, comme ça."
But when it's whether Tony should have told Gordon to eff off when he startled whinging about wanting to be prime minister right now, he spits nails in frustration at the stupidity of the pair of them. It is personal ambition and political maneuver which engages Mandelson's serious side.
THE THINGS he makes light of, however, continue to weigh heavily on minds elsewhere.
In the week of publication of the Mandelson book and Smith's reemergence from post-election purdah--the electors of Reddich gave her the heave-ho in May--the woman who headed the spy agency MI5 from October 2002 to April 2007, Eliza Manningham-Buller, told the Iraq inquiry under John Chilcot that, in essence, everything the antiwar movement had warned of prior to the invasion in 2003 had been spot on. Manningham-Buller recalled that she'd told the government prior to March 2003 that invading Iraq could enrage young British Muslims to the extent that some would turn to terrorism.
But Jacqui Smith believed, nevertheless, that the exact opposite would happen--and believes now that this, indeed, is how things have worked out.
The mind boggles. But it shouldn't. Listening to Smith and Mandelson in stereo, as it were, what became unsettlingly clear is that these people don't really believe in anything.
Mandelson provides an account of bitter and vicious faction-fighting which would do credit to a convention of cutthroats. Blair, he reports, saw Brown as "mad," "bad," "dangerous," "hair-raisingly difficult to work with" and "beyond redemption." And this knife-fight relationship could be vital in determining policy on areas of fundamental importance.
Former New Labour ministers who have commented on Mandelson's memoirs have likewise focused on who was skulking around Westminster waiting for the most advantageous moment to plunge the dagger into an old friend's back--rather than on, for example, the decision to bin the advice of everyone from the boss of MI5 to 2 million citizens tramping the streets and rush to war regardless.
There is nothing in Mandelson's book to suggest that there was a single serious discussion of political ideas among the leaders of New Labour between the moment they managed to get their feet under the cabinet table to the day they were dumped out of office.
New Labour was an empty vessel into which it was possible to pour any old ideology which seemed to serve ambition at the time.
But praise where it is due. Mandelson did choose the perfect title for his tome. In Carol Reed's 1949 film classic, The Third Man, Harry Lime, played by Orson Welles, is a cunning operator with no sense of morality, who betrays his friends and ends up shot in the back by a journalist as he sloshes and scrabbles in vain efforts to haul himself out of the sewer.
Nelson McCausland is a shining example of intellectual rigor, common sense and progressive political ideas when compared with this lot.

A day after his shock victory at the Indy 500, Alexander Rossi met the media and was in reflective mood.
The Californian, in his first season of Verizon IndyCar Series competition, got out of his blue and gold No. 98 NAPA-sponsored Andretti Herta Autosport-Honda in Victory Lane and appeared perplexed. He had no idea what to do next. He didn't know how to apply the victory wreath and what to do with the milk, whether to guzzle or sip?
"I think, when I pulled into Victory Lane, I was blown away with the fact that I had won, but I had no idea, even remotely what was then around the corner from that," he said after posing for two hours on the hot Yard of Bricks at the oval's start-finish line.
"This entire month has been something that I was blown away by every single day," he continued. "I'm enjoying it and just trying to embrace it as much as I can, all the while appreciating what happened yesterday."
Unlike most Indy 500 winners, Rossi took it easy after his victory and got a good night's sleep because between now and Thursday, he's going to be pulled every which way, before being ready to do it all again in Detroit this coming weekend.
The significance of the Indy victory, the exceptional preparation by engineer Tom German and the knowledge-based strategy of team co-owner and former racer Bryan Herta are all starting to become part of Rossi's understanding. It's important that we as onlookers understand it too.
An oval novice, Rossi went to the Phoenix IndyCar test as an observer - he'd just signed with Andretti Herta and the car wasn't ready for him yet. Come the race in early April, he qualified and finished 14th but that remained the sum of his oval learning experience – driving a heavily banked one-miler oval. It was a good learning experience but nothing prepares you for Indy like turning laps there.
"When I drove the first few laps in ROP (rookie orientation procedure), I had kind of two emotions: one was 'Holy shit, that's fast' and the other one was 'This is actually a lot more relaxing than Phoenix because you actually have straightaways to recompose yourself'. Every single time you go into Turn 1 and Turn 3, you're questioning whether or not you're still going to continue to do this. It was crazy in the beginning, and then as each day went on I settled in more and it became more natural to me."
Alexander Rossi's first memory of the Indy 500 came in 2006, when now-teammate Marco Andretti lost the race to Sam Hornish Jr. by just a few inches. "It was something that really stood out to me," he said, although ever since he began competing, Formula 1 had been Rossi's ambition, and he headed to Europe age 16.
Yet Rossi admits he wasn't terribly nervous on Sunday morning, despite acknowledging the mood of his team as he arrived at the garage.
"I walked into the garage feeling completely fine but everyone around me… you could feel the tension, you could feel the kind of pressure and stress and I was like, 'Well, I should probably feel a little more concerned about this.' But it never really came, and I think it was just relief more than anything when I got into the car on the grid. Being able to do what I'm most comfortable doing was actually taking pressure off."
The nerves did catch up with him eventually, however.
"They came about 15 laps from the end when I thought, OK, we maybe have a shot at this, but there's going to be a lot of things that need to work out. There's the fuel-mileage number on the dash, and some laps it was good to me and some laps it wasn't, and the laps that it wasn't, I was just freaking out. At the end I was definitely, definitely very nervous."
Rookies always need good people around them and Rossi, with Herta and German in his corner, has racers who have won here in the past and who have great experience on this very demanding 2.5-mile oval.
"Tom and Bryan are two of the best guys an Indy driver could ask to have on their car," he stated. Giving credit to Herta for the "great [strategy] calls he made," Rossi also acknowledged German for giving him "one of the best cars on the racetrack all month. His success speaks for itself and it's such a privilege to be able to drive for him and work with him on a daily basis."
Following his glorious trip to the one-of-its-kind Indianapolis Motor Speedway, it's back to focusing on the Verizon IndyCar Series for Rossi. After his trips to New York on Tuesday and Texas on Wednesday (to promote IndyCar's race at TMS), he will land in Detroit to race on yet another unfamiliar track, the street course on Belle Isle.
"I don't know anything about it but I will start watching videos in the next couple of days," he said. "I am very much looking forward to going there.
"I've heard it's bumpy: Great…that means my hands will get torn up a little bit. I was starting to like the ovals because your hands don't get shredded, but I guess that's going to go out the window."
Despite a rough start to the season, largely in line with Andretti Autosport-Honda's struggles, Rossi said the turning point had come at the Grand Prix of Indianapolis earlier in the month, and shares team manager Rob Edwards' view that there are more good days ahead for the team as a whole.
He remarked: "We need to carry that momentum forward to Detroit and Texas, but I think we've definitely started to figure a few things out, and as a team and a unit we're really starting to click. The whole Andretti Autosport organization is going to move forward in the next couple of races."
And with that prediction hanging in the air, the surprise winner of the 100th Indianapolis 500 gave a polite smile and left for his next obligation.

On a walk through Tin Hau this morning, who should I stumble across but Pac Man!
A few posts back I mentioned Pac Man had been on this wall, only to be removed by the government for being too 'distracting'. I later discovered he was originally tiled there by a renown international artist, Invader. Imagine my surprise, and that of passers-by, as we looked up and across and there he was, once again in all his yellow glory chasing after some pesky space invaders.
Well, ok. Not in his true original glory. That much is pretty evident. He's a lot smaller than the original, which has a chalk outline drawn onto the wall. The tiles are also much larger squares than the originals, and they're only cheap plastic. They've been roughly attached to the wall and are covered in grout where they haven't been wiped up (or had time to be wiped up) properly.
It is nowhere as grand as the original artwork was, but it does give a glimpse into the pop of colour that enlightened and gave life to a grey stark wall on a busy street in Tin Hau.
Taking a much closer look, this version also has some interesting tagging associated with it. Danger tape covers the green government property sign in a cheeky snub at the people who took the original down so impulsively initially. To the bottom left there is also a Pac Man with fire on his head and at the bottom "Dangerous for Art 2014". I'm going to make the bold assumption that these are the tags of the Invader copycats, or as I'm going to call them, the Fake Invaders.
As amusing as it is, this version of Pac Man doesn't compare even remotely to the original in terms of quality. It is merely a Fake Invader … a copycat… a bottom floor Lo Wu mall version of the original. I appreciate the message it conveys, and I too wish the original hadn't been removed in such haste, however this one won't last long. If the elements don't get to it (tiles were already falling off), I imagine given it has a rebellious message associated with it (something the original did not) the government will be swift in ensuring its removal.
Third time around I challenge someone to put Ms Pac Man up there. Perhaps the powers that be will be more gentle on a lady. 😉
What do you think of the 8-bit street art (original and fake Invaders) on the streets of Hong Kong?

Can a novel, poem, or play have two different meaning? If so, how can a reader notice the double meaning or two points the author is make others aware of? When writing a piece literary work, an author may have a hidden meaning behind the main purpose of reading it. For instance, the main reason why people read scary stories is because the person wants to be scared or a constant state of shock. However, the author of the book may be trying to inform his/her readers how to stay away from danger.
The comedic play written by Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Ernest, is meant to make people laugh. On the other hand, Wilde is also mocking women's choice in men and how they choose them. Oscar Wilde is famous writer who written many plays, novels, and poems. Although he was respected by many people, he also receives plenty of criticism for being homosexual. Jeremy Lalonde, author of A "Revolutionary Outrage": The Importance of Being Earnest as Social Criticism, talks about how he feels that Wilde expresses his sexually through The Importance of Being Ernest. One can] find a current of same-sex desire running through the play that destabilizes various heterosexual assumptions…In the context of Earnest, this person is the fully formed, self-identified male homosexual ??? a type of masculinity that was only emerging through events like the Wilde trials (Lalonde 659) Lalonde written that Wilde made the female characters in the story act like that to fight back against the criticism he was obtain. This leads to the question. What was the purpose of writing the play: Mockery or Comedy?

One of purposes of the Oscar Wilde writing this play is to make people laugh. The main reason of comedy, regardless if it is modern television show or an 1895 comedic play, is for people to giggle and chuckle to their hearts content. Benjamin La Farge, author of Comedy's Intention, talks about how The Importance of Being Ernest is meant to make people laugh. "Whether my reaction is mainly triggered by the actors' expressions and gestures, or by the lines they speak, or a combination of all three, something on the screen that signals comedy will have prompted me to chuckle and smile" (La Farge 118).
He goes on to talk about how the scene when Lady Bucknell questions Ernest, also known as Jack at this point, about his life to make sure he is qualified to marry Gwendolyn whom he already propose to. "This scene is funny because one expects Lady Bucknell to react different to his answers" (La Farge 120). This explanation can lead someone to believe to believe that the whole purpose of the play is to just make people laugh. The purpose of the play is to make fun of women ideals during his time. Both Gwendolyn and Cecily both have unique desires to marry a guy name Ernest and feels that every other name is not as desirable.
Algernon and Jack, whose name is actually Ernest, both acquired the name Ernest to try to win their love ones' heart, but tries to convince them to love them if they change to their genuine names. Early in the story, Ernest tells Gwendolen he feels about Jack and this is how she reacts. Gwendolen: Jack?… No, there is very little music in the name Jack, if any at all, indeed. It does not thrill. It produces absolutely no vibrations…I have known several Jacks, and they all, without exception, were more than usually plain…And I pity any woman who married to a man called John (Wilde 11-12).
Later in the play, Algernon, posing as Uncle Ernest, has a similar conversation with Cecily and she gives a similar answer. Wilde is using Gwendolen and Cecily's attitude toward the name Jack to make fun women's idealism during his time. Since Oscar Wilde had a hard life during the time because of his sexually while he was writing The Importance of Being Ernest, one should believe that the play has two purposes. Either comedy or mockery of women could be the main reason for writing the play. Regardless of the purposes of the play, this is a great play.
