Vanna White is an American television personality, actress and author. White found fame and fortune as the host of popular TV game show "Wheel of Fortune. Her net worth is estimated at $35 million. Here is her success story…
Vanna White Net Worth: How She Began
Vanna was born as Vanna Marie Rosich on February 18, 1957, in Conway, South Carolina. When her birth father abandoned the family, Vanna's mom married a real estate agent named Herbert Stackley White Jr. Vanna later replaced her birth father's name with her step father's to become Vanna White.
Vanna's passion for the entertainment industry pushed her to enroll at Atlanta School of Fashion shortly after her high school graduation. While honing her fashion skills in Atlanta, Georgia, Vanna began working as a model.
In search of higher paying gigs, she moved to Hollywood and began taking minor acting roles in movies such as; Gypsy Angels (1980), Looker (1981), and Graduation Day (1981).
In the world of TV, Vanna became one of the contestants on the game show "The Price Is Right", but was eliminated mid-way. Her next TV gig came in a 1982 episode of "Star of the Family".
Vanna White Net Worth: Breakthrough With Wheel of Fortune
Vanna's early gigs may not have been highly lucrative, but they sure prepared her for an imminent breakthrough. There came a chance in 1982 to fill the hostess spot left behind by Susan Stafford on the game show "Wheel of Fortune" and Vanna was among the three chosen out of about 200 applicants. After three months of serving as a substitute co-host, Vanna snapped the job as the regular host of "Wheel of Fortune" which immediately became her breakthrough Hollywood gig.
Her charming charisma made her easily likeable by the fans and consequently the show's ratings skyrocketed and of course so did her paycheck. While justrichest.com cannot quite certify exactly how much she was paid in those early successful years, we do know that Wheel of Fortune garnered over 30 million viewers by 1986 and grossed about $100 million annually. With that annual revenue, you bet Vanna was receiving nothing less than a high six-figure paycheck.
In 1987, Vanna capitalized on her fame with the release of her autobiography, titled Vanna Speaks! which became a best-seller!
Vanna White Net Worth: Continued Success with Wheel of Fortune
Vanna is really good at what she does, at least her employers think so… As the new century beckoned accompanied by technology, many speculated Vanna would be relieved of her "turning letters" duty. However, critics were as surprised as Vanna as she remained on the show even with the adoption of computerized screens that could operate themselves. Apparently, a human factor of Vanna was still pertinent for the show's success.
Vanna in 2013 told a reporter of her role; "The thing is, they really don't need me. They could just use the computer. I'm glad they keep me around!" Who wouldn't be…

Vanna's hosting duty comes with many perks, firstly, she gets to wear a new dress for every single episode. Newsflash! She has appeared in over 6,000 episodes. Secondly, her popularity on the show attracts lucrative endorsement partners and also avails her the opportunity to shill for her very own line of yarns called "Vanna's Choice". When not strutting her stuff on screen, Vanna enjoys crochet and knitting which birthed the successful Vanna's Choice line.
Though Wheel of Fortune has been greatly lucrative, Vanna hasn't ignored other show business opportunities. She has made cameo appearances in TV show episodes as well as movies including; "Venus: The Goddess of Love", "L.A. Law", "The King of Queens" and "Full House".
As of 2013, Vanna earned $4 million annually from her hostess role, that year she was worth around $15 million. However, that paycheck has continued to enjoy a steady exponential growth. In recent times, Vanna receives about $8 million annually which brings her net worth to an estimated $35 million.
In 1993, Vanna added quite the boost to her net worth when she won a lawsuit against Samsung Electronics. The electronic makers had made a commercial featuring a smiling robot turning letters on a game show, a replica of what Vanna does on Wheel of Fortune and Vanna wasn't having it as she wasn't contacted for consent. The TV star filed a lawsuit and after numerous appeals was awarded $403,000 in damages.
In 1992, Vanna was recognized as "television's most frequent clapper" by the Guinness Book of World Records. She received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2006.

A Few More Pieces in the Petition Puzzleby Kyle Michaelis
Well, today I am happy to see that both the Omaha World-Herald and the Lincoln Journal-Star published articles delving into the first level of the deceptive maze that has been constructed. Unfortunately, the World-Herald continued to obscure what's most troubling in this situation by focusing on the dollar signs ($1.7 million) rather than the tortured path that led all that money into Nebraska. The World-Herald also clouds the issue by lumping it together with information on the expenditures of those supporting the casino gaming initiatives, who also spent extravagantly ($1.4 million) but at least did so out in the open. Still, it's a minor improvement over last week, when the World-Herald failed to even point out the inexplicable connection between SOS Nebraska and the Nebraskans for Humane Care Committee.
The Lincoln Journal-Star (in a front page article not published online) is to be commended for going somewhat deeper, painting a more complete picture that seems to actually grasp the ugliness underlying these efforts. The LJS writes:
A group with a Chicago address and the deep pockets of a New York real estate investor has spent almost $1.7 million on two Nebraska petition drives.
The two proposals - a state spending lid and a requirement that hospitals and other health institutions feed dying patients - both appear to have enough voter signatures to get on the November ballot thanks to petition circulators paid for primarily by Americans for Limited Government.
Howard Rich, a wealthy New Yorker with a long history of working for libertarian causes, is chairman of the board for Americans for Limited Government, which has a Chicago address......
On the surface, the money pouring into the two Nebraska petition campaigns appears to come from an organization called America At Its Best, which has a Kalispell, Mont., post office box address and no Web site.
That group is listed as the donor group on financial reports filed by the petition campaigns with the state earlier this week.
But other reports show that Americans for Limited Government actually provides the bulk of the money.
"This seems to be a shell game," said Karen Kilgarin of the Nebraska State Education Aossication, part of the coalition opposed to the spending lid amendment.
"They don't want us to really know who is behind this scheme, this petition," she said. "It raises a lot of red flags for me."
"The folks in our coalition, I know them. They are all Nebraskans. They all live here. They are all involved in our communities and in our churches. They have real faces," she said of the coalition opposing the lid.
Where the money came from is a secondary issue, according to Mike Groene, the Nebraska leader of the lid petition drive.....
The money for the petition drive, he said, comes from like-minded people across the country.
Groene, of North Platte, said he did not know that Americans for Limited Government was funding the campaign. In fact, he never has met Howard Rich, and he's not a libertarian.
"All I know is we get our money from America At Its Best. This is the first I heard where they (America At Its Best) get their money," he said.
But he works with staff members of Americans for Limited Government, he said. And his group received money for the petition drive after he sent a letter through Americans for Limited Government requesting help....
Funds for Democracy, another group started and funded by Rich donated the bulk of the rest of the money to America At Its Best, $400,000....
This is not the first time a group Rich leads has paid to help put an initiative on Nebraska's ballot.
His organization U.S. Term Limits paid for Nebraska's term limit petition campaigns. That amendment, passed by voters, limits state senators to two consecutive four-year terms and means 20 senators cannot run for re-election this year.
The Journal-Star also mentioned that Americans for Limited Government is orchestrating spending lid campaigns in Montana, Missouri, Maine, Oregon, Nevada, Oklahoma, and Michigan - with those in Montana, Oklahoma and Michigan also using the Stop Over Spending (SOS) moniker that the liar Groene would have us believe is being independently operated in Nebraska.
Up to this point, I have generally given Groene the benefit of the doubt, assuming he's just some poor dupe being manipulated by forces he doesn't understand. But, the more facts come to light, the more it becomes evident he's been lying to cover the tracks of who's actually been funding and organizing these actions from the start.
Groene, of SOS Nebraska, wants us to believe that he had no idea Americans for Limited Government and its sister organizations (by way of Howard Rich) were the true face of Montana-based America At Its Best - despite the fact that he admits to working with ALG staff and relying on them to establish his Montana connection.
Lies! Lies! Damnable lies! No matter how big of a dupe Groene might, in fact, be - with no control over what's actually being conducted in the name of the organization of which he is the titular head - there's no way he's actually this clueless and in the dark about what's going on.
For all the damning evidence you need of Groene's deception, I suggest you listen to his debate with Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Hahn from June 20th. It's about a 40-minute debate (moderated by Lincoln radio host Tom Becka) during which Groene claims of SOS Nebraska's funding, "We've had 100,000 from one group, and we've gotten a lot of small donations."
He then claims, "We've been very upfront and honest," suspiciously trailing off when he (accidentally) mentions the involvement of Americans for Limited Government. This part of the discussion takes place about 10 minutes in, and - listening to it now - you can practically hear the brakes squealing in Groene's mind as he realizes he's just named the actual source of SOS Nebraska's funding rather than the fake organization (America At Its Best) created for that purpose.
Of course, Groene also lied about the $100,000 amount received at that point, since America At Its Best had already reported more than three times that amount paid to SOS Nebraska in the first week of June. Interestingly enough, Groene did estimate that the ultimate cost of signature-gathering would be $300 to $400 thousand, which is precisely along the lines of what AAIB had already contributed.
Also in that debate, Groene promised that once the signature-gathering was over, most of SOS Nebraska's funding would come from in-state. He said exactly, "When it comes to the ads and (when) we get it on the ballot...most of it will be in-state."
Groene then went on to denounce reports of $2 million being spent in seven states by opponents of these spending lids. Yet, here it's become clear that Americans for Limited Government has spent almost that amount in Nebraska alone. And, of course, Groene's assurances of being funded in-state have proven even more deceptive now than when they were originally made, as AAIB/ALG have pumped another half-a-million dollars to SOS Nebraska by its own account (disregarding the $300,000 discrepancy in their dueling June reports).
Confused yet? Of course. And that's because you're supposed to be confused. It's supposed to be too much work to put together all these pieces. But, unfortunately for Groene, SOS Nebraska, Thomas Mann, the Nebraskans for Humane Care Committee, America At Its Best (Montana), Americans for Limited Government (Illinois), and Howard Rich (New York), there are people doing the work to expose their machinations here in Nebraska and across the country.
There is more to be written - more to be revealed. The press may be slow in uncovering it, but the truth is finding other ways of coming out. For starters, a lawsuit has been filed in Nebraska that challenges America At Its Best lurking in the shadows without coming forward as a sponsor of the Spending Lid Amendment. This weekend, the Associated Press reported:
Two Lincoln men filed a lawsuit Friday in an attempt to keep a measure designed to cap state spending from appearing on the November ballot.
The lawsuit, filed by John Chicoine and Patrick Henry and backed by AARP Nebraska, contends that spending lid proponents did not officially disclose all their sponsors. And the suit claims the measure violates a requirement of the Nebraska Constitution that a ballot measure pertain to a single subject.
The plaintiffs argue that either one of those issues should keep the spending lid off the ballot.
"We want full disclosure," Henry said. "Who are these out-of-state interests sponsoring this measure that would hurt our state's economy, business, agriculture and all other public services?".....
The lawsuit, filed Friday in Lancaster County District Court, argues that because a group called America At Its Best bankrolled the petition drive and helped draft it, it should be listed as a sponsor. The plaintiffs said in the lawsuit they believe other unnamed individuals and groups also helped draft the measure and should be sponsors.
It's great to see the unraveling of the truth actually resulting in action. But, I assure you, there is more unraveling to be done - some of it already completed by a fellow blogger. I don't have the time to write about it now, but look for the latest layer of dirt and deceit to be discussed this weekend.
Are we having fun yet? If you're enjoying this, let me suggest you do a Google search on our mysterious puppet-master "Howard Rich." That should keep you more than occupied until I find time for my next report.

I finally got around to updating to the latest firmware (1.3) a couple weeks back and, sure enough, I just checked and the dynamic compression is set to ON. I set it to off and watched the last 15 minutes of Transformers just now and it sounded great. Not only is the high end (glass shattering, etc) back, but there the extreme low end was there too, putting my Velodyne F1500 sub to good use.

Published: Friday 3rd July 2015 by The News Editor
Jenson Button has ruled out scoring any points in what could be his final appearance at the British Grand Prix.
The 2009 world champion, who heads into his home race in the midst of his worst-ever campaign, struggled again on Friday.
Button, without a podium in his 15 previous Silverstone appearances, spent the majority of the opening session twiddling his thumbs at the back of the McLaren garage before completing only 16 laps in the afternoon – the fewest of any driver.
Once on track, he reported that the car felt "terrible". He finished a lowly 17th, three seconds off the time of pacesetter Nico Rosberg.
Button's contract expires at the end of the season and the 35-year-old forecast yet another gloomy weekend for McLaren in what has been a disastrous campaign.
"We are not going to be looking for points this weekend unless something happens overnight which would surprise me," a downbeat Button said.
"We found a little bit with the setup at the end of the day, but there is a lot that still needs to be done.
"We are a long way behind and w e are not very fast here. – high speeds and straights do not seem to be our strength right now – but I think tomorrow will be better with some reasonably big setup changes."
Button's team-mate Fernando Alonso also endured a trying day. He survived a trip through the gravel at Luffield, but could only post the 15th best time.
And the Spaniard admitted McLaren will struggle to make it out of Q1 in qualifying on Saturday as their nightmare season goes from bad to worse.
"Q2 is going to be tough," Alonso said. "It is not that easy because only the Saubers seem to be on our pace. The other ones are a little bit too quick for us so we need to beat the Saubers if we want to be in Q2."

MARK AUSTIN THOMAS: Expect rock-bottom prices for desktop computers, laptops, monitors and printers this holiday season. You can send your thank you notes to Microsoft. Stacey Vanek-Smith reports
STACEY VANEK-SMITH: For computer vendors this year, Microsoft is the Grinch who stole Christmas.
The software giant's new operating system called Vista was supposed to be released in October, but after myriad problems, Vista now won't hit store shelves until the end of January.
Tim Bajairin is with tech consulting firm, Creative Strategies.
TIM BAJAIRIN: Every vendor had huge promotions around Vista. They've been concerned, of course, about demand since a lot of customers would potentially wait until Vista comes out before buying PCs.
Bajairin says in addition to price cuts, many retailers will offer coupons for free Vista upgrades when the system comes out. But for the time being, Bajairin says PC prices should make shoppers very merry indeed.
BAJAIRIN: You'll get some really good packages for under $500 which includes computers, printers and monitors.
But Bajairin predicts PC vendors will have a happy New Year. Vista's release in January is expected to boost sales and profits in 2007.
I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith for Marketplace.

(Read Mike P's report of the parallel ride from Brookside to the same destinations: Thursday ride (city start) to Saffron Walden and Dullingham.)
We started the ride through Little Shelford and Newton and Thriplow where, with so many flowers appearing early, the daffodil weekend organisers, which is April 16 and 17, must be concerned if there will be any left to flower. We had to leave them with that problem as we passed through the village on our way to Fowlmere and to the A505.
Chrishall Grange
We didn't have to wait long to cross the A505 today and we crossed safely and made our way towards Chrishall Grange. We took the left turning at the foot of the hill which put us on Royston Lane with its very steep climb, but worth it for the views it afforded, especially under the bright sunlight.
Royston Lane
This took us to the last bit of Coploe Hill and Catmere End where we saw a herd of deer in the field next to the road (photo below).
Coploe Hill
Catmere End
A long downhill swoop of Chestnut Avenue brought us to the B1383, past the mansion, into Saffron Walden, arriving at the Temeraire at 11am.
Deer at Catmere End
Edward continues: Already at the Temeraire we found Craig, Frances, Joseph, David W and Peter W and it was only a few minutes before Mike P brought in the Brookside group. Refreshments were served quickly and at 11.40 am we were ready for the next session.
From Saffron Walden to Dullingham we took entirely separate routes; Mike took a group via Ashdon, whereas our group went out of the town up to Little Walden and the fairly easy climb up to the former RAF Hadstock airfield.
A nice descent into Hadstock and a sharp turn at the bottom of the hill and we were on the road to Bartlow going under the former railway to Haverhill.
The former railway between Hadstock & Bartlow
Another gentle climb to a crossing of the A1307, still climbing gently, took us over the crossroads between Balsham and West Wickham and a final flourish of climbing (a bit steeper here) took us into West Wratting. By now the temperature had shaken off the cold of early morning and with the beautiful sunshine, little wind, cycling was really pleasant.
Bartlow to West Wratting Crossroads
Bartlow to West Wratting Crossroads
After West Wratting we came to Weston Colville and a bit more easy climbing to Carlton. We joined the B1061 to go through Burrough Green and finally the B1052 for the descent into Dullingham and The Boot for the luncheon interval, at 1.20 pm.
Weston Colville
Although we had called ahead with an estimate of the numbers we made it very difficult for them as the pub has a very small staff but even so they coped very well. For another time they wondered if we could ring ahead with our orders as it seems their menu is always the same. This is a nice friendly pub and perhaps we should consider helping them in this way.
Anyway, by 2.30pm we were all ready to start the return journey and, with Dullingham being so close to Cambridge, Mike took a group on a more direct route home while our group of nine, keen to stay out in the nice weather, went down the busy B1061 into Newmarket; luckily it's only just over two miles but with a lot of fast moving traffic not a nice ride. In Newmarket we went into Hamilton Road which passes close to the racecourse and many of the stables and also avoids most of the busy road to Exning. We soon came to Exning and on to a quiet Heath Road which took us into Burwell and then Reach.
On the Lodes Way
The weather was still bright and sunny and everyone was happy to join the Lodes Way for a traffic-free ride to Lode. We went out to Bottisham so that we could cycle along the cycle path beside the A1303 all the way up to the airport where we considered the ride at an end at 4.30 pm and 56 miles. Edward Elmer

Sania''s father Imran Mirza on Tuesday (Today) said that she was presently undergoing a course of injections with the hope that she responds to the treatment and does not need a surgery.
"We will know in a week''s time whether the injections treatment has worked if they don''t work than Sania has to have another surgery and we will fly back to India for that," Imran said.
Sania and her family are presently in the city on a private visit as her husband Shoaib Malik is playing in the National T20 Championship at the National Stadium.
Imran said that Sania had had two previous surgeries for her knee problem and it had affected her career graph.
"We are praying this time the knee treatment is successful and she does not have to go through all the pain again," he said.
Imran accompanied Malik to the stadium and watched his son-in-law lead the Sialkot Stallions to a big victory over Hyderabad Hawks. Malik opened the innings and scored a half century.
Imran said he was delighted to be back in Karachi for the first time after 1965.
"The city has really changed a lot and it is nice to be back here and enjoy our holidays. I have told Shoaib to show me around as much as he can," he said.
He said he and his family had come to Pakistan with message of goodwill and love for everyone.
"Our message is one of love that is all I will say," said Imran.


text: Brook is the musician of the Straw Hat Pirates. He is a skeleton the Straw Hats found on board a ghost ship after drifting into the Florian Triangle. He is a Devil Fruit user who ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi and is an undead being brought back into a pseudo-immortal state because of its powers. He fills the role of the long awaited musician that Luffy wanted for his crew since his journey began. Brook is a great lover of music. Whether it be through happy or sad times, music is what generally keeps Brook going. As a result, his love for music often reflects itself in various other aspects of his character such as in his fighting style wherein the names of his attacks are derived from various musical songs and dances. He gave himself a musical theme so noticeable that while he was alive in his first life, he was called "Humming Brook" by the authorities. Brook's devotion to music not only helped him to pass the lonely days but also serves as a combat tool. Most of the techniques that he deals out are named after or related to music. One of them even acts as a hypnosis that sends his enemies to sleep, however, this can also affect allies. Due to his musical background, Brook also moves according to the rhythm of music to assist him in battle, and soon became a world famous rock star during the past two years, at which point his records in tone dials were sold in millions and his fans on his final world tour in Sabaody Archipelago were either crying or fainting at his presence. Brook believes in and has quoted the philosophy "Good things come to those who wait", given the years he spent on the ghost ship, and Laboon's eternal patience. The concept of Brook, a skeleton musician, had already been thought up by Oda the first time he drew Laboon. Brook's overall design however wasn't finalized back then but the basic idea was kept for a long time until Brook was finally revealed. In One Piece Green: Secret Pieces was revealed an early concept of Brook. Oda thought about the skeleton Brook back when One Piece reached the Laboon Arc, but only in the Thriller Bark Arc he was introduced.Make Brook Playlist

Works as advertised, but it is all but impossible to read in daylight. They definitely need to find a way to improve readability and still keep it inexpensive.
Comments about ZAREBA Fi-Shock 5500 V Red Electric Fence Tester (A5LVT-FS):
I bought this a bit more than a year ago to use with my portable electric fence that I use wth my horse when we go trail riding. I haven't used it more than ten times, worked great and then nothing. I kept it in it's little protective plastic case and then it was stored in a canvas bag with my fence charger. It was well taken care of. I am so disappointed in this item. I know it wasn't expensive but still you would think that the thing would last longer than this. I am not fond of testing the strength of the charge by using a blade of grass. If I don't get some answers and service on why this thing died then I will never purchase from this company again.

my husband George has naso pharyngeal cancer and i
thanks to all
Mar 11, 2007 - 3:47 pm
jackie - i am head and neck survivor (actually, tongue and neck) and i have experienced the same thing. Because they did some heavy duty surgery (replaced part of my tongue and lymph nodes on right side of neck) the muscles on right side of my jaw/cheek were not the same as before. This causes obvious problems, but may not be one for your hub. In addition, though, radiation causes swelling, and sometimes that does not go away. Beyond that, there is the simple issue of not using your mouth as you normally do, during the time of surgery and perhaps through the chemo and rads as well.
I had therapist to work with me on opening mouth, and achieved some success with that. You can also purchase something called a therabite that can be used at home to help improve opening, although this little piece of plastic is quite expensive.
My therapists recommended using tongue depressors or something similar as levers to pry open mouth. Do these exercises of prying open mouth (just short of pain) several times a day.
It is, in other words, usually a matter of just getting the muscles used to doing what they used to do.
I am NOT a doctor, and George may have other issues, but this was the problem for me, and continues to be to some extent. It takes determination and repetition with the exercises (some others, without the "levers" are as simple as opening mouth, jutting out lower jaw, moving jaw from side to side) and using the mouth often.
I wish you and George well during his recovery.
Take care
Mar 17, 2007 - 12:27 am
Apr 13, 2007 - 11:31 pm
Hi, I had NPC, C&R, chemo and radiation. The radiation destroys cells. The Rad are basting the head neck face region. The muscles will get bruised by the rads. So after treatment, he has to excercise the jaw muscles. I was given a stack of tonge depressers and day by day I had keep making a stack of depressors, to get my mouth to open wider. It hurts and now I can Stretch and Open my muth like before the treatment. Drink ensure, it's easy to puke up and easy to drink.

JEFFERSON COUNTY (WJBF) – Jefferson County investigators looking for two people they say stole a backhoe.
Christopher Cash and Olivia Dodson are wanted in that crime.
Investigators say they went to Dodson's daughter's house in Avera, Georgia on Thursday to try to find the pair.
That's when they saw Cash in the back yard, with a gun.
They say Cash ran into the woods. They surrounded him, and he took off running again.
The search was called off around 10 last night.
Investigators say if you see Cash, he should be considered armed and dangerous.
JEFFERSON COUNTY (WJBF) – Officers in Jefferson County, GA have called off their search for a suspect tonight.
They spent most of Thursday evening on the 1400 block of Hadden Pond Road in Jefferson County.
That's just off Georgia Highway 88.
Details are very limited right now, but NewsChannel 6 has learned that Richmond County's SWAT team is there right now, assisting the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
Officers tried to serve a warrant on the man, he got away, and the search began. No word on whether they plan to try again on Friday.
When we get more information we will pass it along to you.

Illustrator: Kim Niles
Reserve at the Library
Publisher: E & E Publishing,
Material: paperback
Summary: Westie is a dong. We see him in his daily routine. Each page has 1 to 3 words describing an activity he does during the day. This is a picture book for object identification and early reading.
Type of Reading: playtime reading, read aloud book, learning to read
Recommended Age: read together: 2 to 4; read yourself: 5 to 8
Interest Level: 3 to 6
Reading Level: 1
Age of Child: Read with a 4-year-old boy.
Young Reader Reaction: My son didn't like the book. He didn't really relate to it, because it doesn't have a story. The illustrations were a simple snapshot of the dog with now significant action.
Adult Reader Reaction: The cover has a cool drawing of a dog, but most of the pages had almost the same thing, with only a slight variation. I didn't like that nothing happened in the story. The words were more like dog commands. Not being dogs ourselves, we got little out of the text.
Pros: Cute illustrations of a Westie will engage young children. The short sentences have lots of sight words kids learn in first grade.
Cons: This is probably better as an easy reader than a book shared with kids as a story.
Borrow or Buy: Skip if you are looking for a dog story. Borrow if you want a book for helping new readers (first grade).
If You Liked This Book, Try: BARK, GEORGE CHICKEN SAID "CLUCK" EVERYDAY PRAYERS
Educational Themes: This is not a story, and it doesn't teach you about dogs. It could be used as a practice book for new readers still working on sight words.

The Stream has been the organizing metaphor for the web for the past several years. In May 2009, a high-ranking editor of TechCrunch identified and summarized this grand shift in the way people used and talked about the web. "Information is increasingly being distributed and presented in real-time streams instead of dedicated Web pages. The shift is palpable, even if it is only in its early stages," Erick Schonfeld wrote. "Web companies large and small are embracing this stream. It is not just Twitter. It is Facebook and Friendfeed and AOL and Digg and Tweetdeck and Seesmic Desktop and Techmeme and Tweetmeme and Ustream and Qik and Kyte and blogs and Google Reader. The stream is winding its way throughout the Web and organizing it by nowness." A simple way to describe this change: The New York Times on Twitter or Facebook or the Times Wire? That's The Stream. The New York Times paper or homepage? Not stream.
The Stream represents the triumph of reverse-chronology, where importance—above-the-foldness—is based exclusively on nowness.
There are great reasons for why The Stream triumphed. In a world of infinite variety, it's difficult to categorize or even find, especially before a thing has been linked. So time, newness, began to stand in for many other things. And now the Internet's media landscape is like a never-ending store, where everything is free. No matter how hard you sprint for the horizon, it keeps receding. There is always something more.
Nowness also transmits this sense of presence, of other people, that you get in a city when you go to a highway overpass and look down at all the cars at any time of the day or night. Things are happening. I am not alone. Look at all this.
Except on the web, you can listen to their conversations, hear their music, borrow their magazine articles, watch their videos. And they'll write back to you, too.
Some of these people will be professionals who are paid to make stuff as quickly as possible that will be just perfect for your stream like "20 Signs You Went to San Jose State University."
Schonfeld cited Betaworks CEO John Borthwick's thinkpiece, "Distribution Now," which he wrote in April of 2009, just as all this was really getting going. Borthwick concludes his post on the rise of The Stream with two quotes from musician Brian Eno. The old (and better) one begins like this:
"In a blinding flash of inspiration, the other day I realized that 'interactive' anything is the wrong word. Interactive makes you imagine people sitting with their hands on controls, some kind of gamelike thing. The right word is 'unfinished.' Think of cultural products, or art works, or the people who use them even, as being unfinished. Permanently unfinished. "
Remember that line: permanently unfinished.
Because I think it might be why 2013 is seen as the year the stream started to wane.
* * *
It's hard out there (Reuters).
What was exciting in 2009—this pairing of reverse-chronological content with the expectation that the web's traditional and social media would be real-time— feels like a burden in 2013.
The early indications were when people started tossing around ideas like digital sabbaths and talking about FOMO (fear of missing out). But it was easy to think this was a niche feeling only for the media class and its associated hipsters across the country.
Nowadays, I think all kinds of people see and feel the tradeoffs of the stream, when they pull their thumbs down at the top of their screens to receive a new updates from their social apps.
It is too damn hard to keep up. And most of what's out there is crap.
When the half-life of a post is half a day or less, how much time can media makers put into something? When the time a reader spends on a story is (on the high end) two minutes, how much time should media makers put into something?
The necessity of nowness plus the professionalization of content production for the stream means that there are thousands and thousands of people churning out more crap than can possibly be imagined. And individual consumers of information have been tuned by social-media feedback mechanisms (Likes!) to do for free what other people do for money. They, too, write viral headlines, post clickbait, and compete for mindshare.
I am not joking when I say: it is easier to read Ulysses than it is to read the Internet. Because at least Ulysses has an end, an edge. Ulysses can be finished. The Internet is never finished.
It's hard to know when changes are happening. As someone who spends all day on the Internet, I would say that I sense it. But the evidence I can present to you is partial, incomplete, suggestive more than authoritative. In that vein, I would say that nowness is not going away, but the bundle of ideas that formed the metaphor of the The Stream is pulling apart.
Let's look at some of the year's big products, services, and ideas.
Take Netflix's decision to release ALL of House of Cards at once. People were flabbergasted! How could they sacrifice the nowness?!
But they did and people loved it. In contrast to live "appointment viewing," of a weekly show, House of Cards felt different, substantial. It was a weighty object that could be watched however you wanted to.
Or take Snapchat and the Snowden-NSA revelations. They highlight a pernicious aspect of this metaphor: while the stream flows quickly past you, it flows into the vast, searchable reservoirs of companies and intelligence agencies. This stream is archived and data mined! On the Internet stream, you cannot keep up with the stream, but the stream can keep up with you. The NSA took advantage of this.
And people, en masse, are beginning to respond by creating a disappearing stream. It's reverse-chronological and real-time, but it's also ephemeral, which changes all sorts of incentives and behaviors.
Snapchat says: If we can't disappear completely, let's leave as little of a trace as possible. Let's be water vapor, a passing fog, not the stream.
Hacking the stream (Reuters).
On the tiniest level, many people (myself included) have been launching little e-mail newsletters. I've been writing into the stream for seven years, and I haven't had this much fun in a long time. My newsletter is finite (always less than 600 words) and it comes once a day. It has edges. You can finish it.
Or take Medium. Medium is premised around collections. It's set up like a periodical. Even the clean, whitespace-heavy design says: there is nothing else to do but read this post. Stand on this rock in the stream.
Or take some of the most popular forms on Reddit: the Ask Me Anything and the TIL (today I learned). While both posit liveness from a celebrityish type or user, they do not look anything like other streams. They are something else. Hell, Reddit as a whole fits very uncomfortably into The Stream metaphor; it's more like a hive.
Or Snowfall(ing). These kinds of stories set themselves out of the stream through design and massive effort. They may not pay for themselves, but they stake a claim on an important idea: that there are values beyond nowness.
Or take the re-rise of paywalls. It's not just newspapers, either. A cutting-edge technology publication called The Information just launched for $39.99 a month. Beyond the monetary value, a paywall says, this place is not part of the stream. We don't just want to show up on your Facebook wall.
Lastly, look at the huge viral successes of the year, Upworthy, ViralNova, TwentyTwoWords, FaithIt, and all the rest. They take advantage of the structure of the stream and the psychological problems it makes for people.
These sites traffic in narrative porn. The whole point of their posts is that they are idealized stories with a beginning, middle, and end. They provide closure. They are rocks that you can stand on in the stream, just to catch your breath.
Finally, look at Facebook's intensive news feed engineering. We already know that Facebook allows just a trickle of the flood of updates that your friends are putting up to reach your stream. But they're now explicitly giving more attention to older, better-performing posts.
It's not that Facebook thinks the stream is going away—it is the most important stream, after all—but that they're playing with the algorithm suggests that not everything is working.
This is the strange circumstance that obtained in 2013, given the volume of the stream. Regular Internet users only had three options: 1) be overwhelmed 2) hire a computer to deploy its logic to help sort things 3) get out of the water.

TOWAMENCIN >> Once upon a time, it was a one-point game.
"We were pounding the ball, running the ball a lot, and then we just wanted to throw the ball out of two tights," said North Penn linebacker and tight end Owen Thomas, describing the second-quarter play that broke open Friday night's three-hour marathon of a district semifinal with Coatesville. "I beat my guy — or he tried to under-cut it or something — and I just caught it and took it to the house."
Quarterback Reece Udinski saw a wide open Thomas streaking down the right sideline, hitting him in stride for a 68-yard scoring strike that sent the Knights into the locker room with a firm 21-13 advantage over the stunned Red Raiders.
North Penn would put the game away in the third quarter, going on to an impressive 42-25 victory over Coatesville as the Knights earned the right to stay home next Friday.
Home as in Crawford Stadium.
Home as in the District One (6A) Final, where the Knights have been 11 of the last 15 seasons.

And it was Thomas — playing inspired football in all three phases — who helped carry the Knights over the threshold.
"I can't be more happy," said the junior, who scored on offense, played a swarming style on defense and even blocked an extra point. "It's amazing — 13 and oh. I'm just glad to be able to play another game with my brothers."
Crawford Stadium's next visitor will be No. 10 Garnet Valley, a 44-27 upset winner over No. 3 Perkiomen Valley. The Red Raiders were trying to generate their own upset on Friday night, but as the game wore on, North Penn's defense put the squeeze on slippery freshman quarterback Ricky Ortega.
"We had to keep him in the pocket," Thomas said. "If he gets out of the pocket, he's a real dangerous player, and he showed that a couple times."
Ortega hit Mekhi Alexander for a 37-yard score midway through the second quarter, giving Coatesville a 13-7 lead. But the North Penn defense would not surrender another score until the final seconds of the game, when the issue had long been settled.
In all, top-seeded North Penn held the versatile Ortega to three yards rushing and 20-of-34 passing for 214 yards, two touchdowns and a pair of interceptions, one of which the Knights converted into points.
"I thought the defense was the difference tonight, no doubt," said Knights coach Dick Beck, who has directed North Penn to all six of their district titles and has them going for number seven next week. "Our guys are athletic up front — they may not be big but those kids can all run.
"I thought they did a nice job of keeping (Ortega) in. And (the d-backs) did a great job of staying with their guys. And a couple times (Ortega) threw it up we got interceptions."

Andrew Roth got the first interception early in the third, as Ortega was under heavy pressure and threw into the teeth of the secondary. The takeaway and return set the Knights up at the Red Raider 38.
Running back Nick Dillon scored one of his four touchdowns on the night — this one a three-yarder, powering through a would-be tackler and over the goal line to cap a seven-play drive. By then the lead was 35-13, and that's because the Knights began the third quarter much the same way they finished the second — by catching the Red Raiders off guard.
Udinski (11-of-17, 257 yds, TD, Int) fired a quick pass along the sideline to Hubler, who then pitched it to Dillon, and the running back raced away to complete the final 53 yards of a 61-yard hook-and-ladder.
Said Dillon: "That was a great thought by coach (Beck) just to put that play in. When I got it, all I thought about was 'just go score.'"
"I thought we had a lot of kids really step up," said Beck, who saw Dillon rush for 148 yards and saw Udinski pass former Downingtown East quarterback Pat Devlin for most passing yards (3,302) in a season by a District One QB. "I thought Nick really ran hard and I thought the o-line was very special tonight. For us it was a great night."
After Frankie De Los Santos had a nice 85-yard interception and score for Coatesville, the Knights padded their lead to 42-19 with Dillon's seven-yard TD.

No. 4 Coatesville (11-2) completed the scoring with a 38-yard connection from Ortega to Jadan Hudson.
It was back and forth early, with the Red Raiders pulling in front 6-0 — the extra point would sail wide — on a two-yard run by Aaron Young (15-158) and then NP went up 7-6 on a 17-yard run by Anthony Andrews.
Ortega hit Alexander to make it 13-7 Red Raiders until Dillon put the Knights in front for good on a one-yard pitch left and then Thomas had his team feeling good at the break, hauling in the bomb from Udinski.
"They made plays when they needed to," Coatesville coach Matt Ortega said of the Knights. "North Penn's a very good football team and they were preparing for this, but at the end of the day I'm just so proud of my team because I feel this team has a bright future.
"When you play a team like North Penn, our guys gotta see that there's things we have to get better at. And obviously we gotta get stronger and that's what's great about playing in a game like this."

UPDATE: Days after legal papers were sent to Donald Trump, the businessman spoke out on Twitter. "Even though I have the legal right to use Steven Tyler's song, he asked me not to," he shared online Wednesday afternoon. "Have better one to take its place!"
Donald Trump may want to rethink his campaign playlist.
As the real estate mogul continues to campaign across the country, singer Steven Tyler has noticed that the GOP candidate has been playing "Dream On" by Aerosmith at recent events.
According to court documents obtained by E! News, Tyler never granted Trump's permission to feature his band's singles at rallies and other gatherings. As a result, he wants the presidential hopeful to stop playing the songs as soon as possible.
"Trump for President does not have our client's permission to use 'Dream On' or any of our client's other music in connection with the campaign because it gives the false impression that [Tyler] is connected with or endorses Mr. Trump's presidential bid," the cease and desist letter stated.

Attorneys for Tyler also said this was the second letter that was sent to the campaign. E! News has reached out to Trump for comment.
"This is not a political nor personal issue with Mr. Trump, Steven works tirelessly with both Republicans and Democrats regarding copyright reform and his position has always been consistent regarding copyright and intellectual property," Tyler's attorney Dina LaPolt said in a statement to E! News. "Simply, one must get permission from the music creators."
She continued, "Steven wrote 100% of 'Dream On,' and this is about the un-authorized use of his property. Steven is a registered Republican."
According to the Washington Post, Tyler even attended the August GOP debate as Trump's guest.
Earlier this summer, Neil Young's rep revealed to E! News that the singer was unhappy with Trump using his song "Rockin' in the Free World" during his candidacy announcement.
R.E.M. also spoke out on Facebook saying they do not condone the use of their music at his political events.

Evaluation of audio source separation in the context of 3D audio
The emergence and broader availability of 3D audio systems allows for new possibilities in mixing, post-production and playback of audio content. Used in movie post-production for cinemas, as special effect by disk jockeys for example and even for live concerts, 3D rendering immerses the listener more than ever before. When existing audio material is to be employed, Audio Source Separation (ASS) techniques enable the extraction of single sources from a mixture. Modern mixing approaches for 3D audio do not assign individual gains and delays for each source in every channel. A sound scene is rather designed, with individual sources treated as objects to be placed within a scene. The hardware layer is mostly irrelevant for mixing in such a setting. ASS is therefore a valuable tool to ¿disassemble¿ amore traditional monophonic, stereophonic, or multichannel mix. However, due to the complexity of the ASS problem, extracted sources are subject to degradations. While state-of-the-art objective measures for ASS quality build on monaural auditory models, they don¿t take into account binaural listening and the psychoacoustic phenomena that are involved, such as binaural unmasking. In this thesis, an extension to Perceptive Evaluation Methods for Audio Source Separation (PEASS) [41] is proposed with spatial rendering in mind. Additionally a new binaural model for ASS evaluation in the context of 3D audio is presented. The performance of the basic and extended versions of PEASS, as well as the proposed binaural model is evaluated in two subjective studies. The first study is conducted with binaural spatialisation presented over headphones, while the second experiment uses a 3DWave Field Synthesis (WFS) system. A set of artificial ASS degradation algorithms is proposed and used for the stimuli of the subjective studies. Results of the studies indicate monotonic decrease of the perceived quality as a function of the amounts of degradations introduced. The most important degradation is found to be target distortion, followed by onset misallocation and musical noise-type artifacts. Additionally, spatialising the extracted target source away from the residue or having it louder than the residue negatively affects the results, indicating a perceived quality degradation. In 3D WFS conditions, results show evidence for monaural and binaural unmasking. The performance of the proposed binauralmodel is consistently superior to that of the basic or extended PEASS versions. In the binaural spatialisation experiment, a correlation coefficient of 0.60 between subjective and objective results is achieved, versus 0.57 and 0.53 with the extended and basic PEASS version respectively. For the 3D WFS study, the binaural model achieves 0.67 prediction accuracy whereas both PEASS versions get 0.57. The perceptual validity of the WFS formulation is also verified in a localisation experiment. Vertical localisation is found to be nearly as good as physical source localisation for an extended listening area with localisation precision of 6± - 9±. The response time is also used as an indicator of localisation performance.

RATING: 12+ Suitable for adults who enjoy memoirs or biographies about World War II. ___________________ Patrick O'Donnell has made a career of uncovering the hidden history of World War II by tracking down and interviewing its most elite troops: the Rangers, Airborne, Marines, and First Special Service Force, forerunners to America's Special Forces. These veterans were often the first in and the last out of every conflict, from Guadalcanal and Burma to the Philippines and the black sands of Iwo Jima. They faced a cruel enemy willing to try anything, including kamikaze flights and human-guided torpedoes. Over the course of the war, they had spearheaded D-Day-sized beach assaults, encountered cannibalism, suffered friendly-fire incidents, and endured torture as prisoners of war. By at last telling their stories, these men present an unvarnished look at the war on the ground, a final gift from aging warriors who have already given so much.

Mainly Mozart has been the ONLY organization that has allowed a me a venue whereby I can expose friends and family to classical music in a very 'user' friendly environment. The evenings are interesting and the locations vary so that it's always a new experience. The also provide music to children and to me, this is wonderufl!
We get to experience chamber music the way it was meant to be enjoyed - in a cozy intimate salon setting. We enjoy wine and appetizers before the performance and dinner afterwards. It's a delightful evening.
This is the best music in San Diego,in our opinion.The Spotlight series has been consistently superb and the June Festival ,now at the Balboa theater, is wonderful every year.The Amadeus Society is made up of true music lovers and lots of fun besides!
The ability to get to know the artists on a personal level is excellent and we are now friends with Julie Landsman of the Metropolitain Opera and Jon Kimura Parker and Aloysia Friedman out of Texas. We have made wonderful connections and friends with whom we would not had any touch points had it not been for the connectivity to Mainly Mozart.
I attended a few concerts at The Neurosciences Institute and they were phenomenal and more than I could ever ask for. The performers were amazing, staff was friendly and professional, not to mention there was complimentary wine. I loved the location and the stage. Mainly Mozart has routinely put on incredible performances by the best musicians in the world and I know I will remain a fan of this organization for a long time.

President Barack Obama welcomed UConn Huskies Men's and Women's Basketball teams to the White House on Monday to honour their double 2014 NCAA Championship wins.
"As President, one of my goals has been to eliminate waste and cut out duplicate of programs to make things more efficient. But, this may be carrying things too far," Mr Obama joked.
During the ceremony, Stefanie Dolson slipped off the podium just as President Obama was making his way past her. The embarrassed player then curtseyed awkwardly to onlookers prompting laughter and a hug from the president.

How can we find out?? I think Scott will win.
Welly, I feel your pain mate. They say they appreciate it but never seem to see any.
Westy, hahaha, your right though, she is as she gets older. Shame really. I perfer the birds that gets better age I think.
Reesy, Deffo Westy.
Breaks are with the coaters, i'll get them next week.
Camping tickets ordered.

Time to get some foam I think.
what do it get?
In my defence, I have the ****test job here, I do less work, have less work, unable to contribute to any other thread as well as this one and erm........thats it can't think of any thing.
You get the pride of knowing you're getting paid the most (in effect) to be on ASN.
Crazy - Go on whats new/user CP and hover over the little image next to the thread title.

I got 1045 posts.
any one top that?
489 in this thread, quite proud of that!!!
EDIT: make that 490 Doh!

More work for me... I might try and convince my boss that a 1/2 day friday is a new law that has just been passed
Ok so thats me sorted, but ill be spooning on the other side of yr missus, i aint keeping you warm! Which part?? The camping part lol..
Currently soaking up the sun at Oxford svc's sprawled over the bonet eating kfc weekend has started
I'm back!!!!!!
Sorry about that - been on the phone to Elephant (insurance) for the last 72 minutes....
And there by hangs a tale:
Naturally, buying a new car I did some insurance quotes last weekend. Me main driver and Mel additional. Fully comp. £550 ish.
Phoned up Elephant and got a quote on a multicar policy - About the same sort of money at £550 the bloke told me. Sweet I said, I shall call back during the week and sort it.
Phoned back today to pay up and look pleasant..... Problems.
The guy that was on the phone gave me a quote for the TT of £850.
I fell over, then got back up.
He explained that I can't use my no claims that I have for the S3 on another policy.... which is right, however I didn't know.
So I explained that I called before and got a quote of X on this date. He looks into it and finds the quote, and then sees that the first guy had applied my no claims from the S3's policy and that's why it was so cheap.
So, I moan and whinge about it, and he says 'I'll see what I can do'.
On hold for 10 mins, and he comes back on. He says that he's spoken to his manager and because the first guy cocked up, that they would honour the original price and and GIVE me 5 years no claims on the second policy, which would then be permanent.
Anyway, he disappears off again and then comes back saying they can only give 4 years no claims because that's how long Mel has been driving.
Total premium for the TT for us both: £588.15 for the year. The S3 runs out in November, at which point they will pro rata the premium to make it last out until the TT's expiry date July 2012 for £356.
Not only that, but I will get a year's no claims on the S3 in Nov, as well as another year's no claims on both in July.
Ummmm. Result.
(And breath)
Never, they stink. have the company premier inn card in my wallet though
its just me going, the misses aint............wait, you aint spooning me even if i'm in the sleeping bag.
Welly, I've been elephant for years and thought them really good insruance people.
Nice result.
A lad a work did this on his octo. I told him he was talking total ****e. Until he proved me wrong. Impressed was not the word. Some kinda black magic that !
Thats just the sweet smell of budget accommodation!
Result Welly! they did that for the mk2 for me too, ooh we cant do that and 5 minutes later I has loads of no claims WIN!
But she has got man hands... Fact! But id just look away while she milked me like a big fat heffer
Oh mate I'm feeling the woman lack of appreciation here too. Iv been flat out for months. Get home at silly o'clock to be met with the face, you know the one..... I'm not getting Yr full attention face. Where have you been, who, what and when. I'm stood there totally bolloxed, pocket full of cash.... Where do you think iv been you silly beeping moo!!!! Hug and a smile would be nice. Make up sex usually makes me forgive her though. Pussy power lol
More like truckers ****
Premier inn's are normally similar priced and twice as nice. Also if you say the room above kept you up all night you get a full refund, no questions asked.?did it at Leeds fest, chicken dinner
To quote Alex turner 'I've seen your frown and it's like lookin' down the barrel of a gun'
It'd be just my luck that I'd get 'I'm sorry Mr Rees, but you're the only person staying here.'
Also, staying at a premier inn means that you are effectively giving money to Lenny Henry. I'll take the smell of truckers **** any day!!!
But dont sit down cos iv moved chairrrrrr
That's a dam good point Chris.. it also means I'm helping to feed that fat mess he married and I hate her with passion, cancel last!!!!

Dec 20, 2006 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
In January 2004, the Bishop Grimes girls basketball team took a loss to Altmar-Parish-Williamstown, an event that did not hold massive significance at the time.
Nearly three years later, that game had remained the last time the Cobras had ever tasted defeat in the OHSL Patriot division.
But that 47-game streak finally ended last Tuesday night, in a fast-paced game at Weedsport where the Warriors subdued Grimes 67-51.
Unlike some close calls earlier in the month, Grimes could not rally this time. Weedsport jumped out to a 10-2 edge, then maintained the margin for the rest of the first half and sent the Cobras to the break looking at a 33-25 deficit.
Weedsport settled matters in the third quarter, stretching the margin to as much as 20, as it put four players in double figures. Katlin Hammersley had 19 points, while Allie Beardsley had 14 points, Markie Kreplin 11 points and Jesse Hoffman 10 points.
Meanwhle, Erin Lowe did what she could to keep the Cobras within sight, setting a new career mark with 23 points. Paige Orr cooled off a bit, to eight points, while Cady Kalemba and Brooke Bonacci each had six points.
So ended a four-game road swing for the Cobras, who finally get to go home Thursday night when it faces Cato-Meridian.

By coincidence, the UN and the USA came to 'elect' their respective leaders, Antonio Guterres and Donald Trump, at the same time. In both cases, there was not much of an election if the term is meant to designate the selection of a political person through the means of fair competition and general elections in which the will of all the people is properly translated into votes. In the USA, many voters, especially African Americans and from minorities, were disenfranchised on more than hollow grounds before the elections with the effect of low voter turnout in poor areas, and the popular vote was, to say the least, in blatant contradiction to the electoral college vote. The problem with the popular vs. electoral college vote is not so much that there are two electoral mechanisms, for this is, actually, quite common in many democracies; the problem is that these two institutions are not linked to each other or even coordinated in any way. The electoral college vote does not reflect the demographics of present-day USA and its demographic bias reduces particularly the vote of African Americans, and there is no obligation whatsoever for Great Electors to take the popular vote into account. Additionally, the election took place in a highly loaded atmosphere with incessant threats of violence from the Trump side, and a continuous flow of fake news, propaganda and extremely aggressive trolling. The US elections did not only reflect the deep divisions running through the country but also the fragility of institutions that rely heavily on unwritten norms of civility, respect and dialogue.
Compared to the spectacle of the US elections, Antonio Guterres' appointment as Secretary-General of the United Nations appeared as a rather civilized yet highly staged, hypocritical and fundamentally undemocratic process. But then, the UN does not pretend to be the oldest modern democracy. It actually not even pretends to be democratic, at least not in the modern sense of the word. The Secretary-General is chosen by a mixture of backroom bargaining and ballot by the Security Council members. It effectively represents the smallest common denominator of the preferences of the five permanent members of the Council because preferences, choices and rankings of all selectors will never match up, and it is mathematically impossible that any candidate would ever get a clear majority (especially not if there are more candidates than selectors; this is called the Condorcet voting paradox and is also behind the IOC's absurd choices of Olympic cities).
The Secretary-General is also not the leader of a world government despite conspiracy theories that claim the contrary. The Secretary General of the United Nations is the 'chief administrative officer' of the UN yet with large leeway for advocacy and the potential of an important diplomatic role in the world. Whether the Secretary-General really takes up this later role, for instance by independently bringing matters of world peace onto the agenda of the Security Council, depends entirely on his stature. Secretary-Generals like Dag Hammarskjöld, Xavier Perez de Cuellar, Boutros Boutros-Ghali or Kofi Annan interpreted their role largely and widely and engaged in numerous initiatives to bolster the role of the UN as peacemaker in the world; others like U Thant, Kurt Waldheim or Ban Ki-Moon made the UN almost entirely disappear from the world political scene.
It remains to be seen in whose footsteps Guterres will step, Moon's or Annan's.
