NORMAN, Okla. — In a game full of big plays — even by Bedlam standards — two stand out. One on offense, the other on the final defensive stand of the game.
Plenty of Sooners (9-1, 6-1 Big 12) played well in their 48-47 Bedlam victory on Saturday — Kyler Murray, Kennedy Brooks, Trey Sermon and Kenneth Murray, to name a few — but no one outshined two plays made by Tre Brown and Marquise Brown.
Ultimately, this game was settled by a matter of inches.
Tre Brown wasn't sure who he'd be matched up with when the game was on the line. But when he saw it was Tylan Wallace, Brown knew it would be up to him to make the game-winning play.
The stop that made the difference in Bedlam— SI College Football (@si_ncaafb) November 11, 2018

"I was thinking No. 13 (Tyron Johnson) was going to come over there but I saw it was No. 2 (Tylan Wallace), so I'm like, 'OK, I know I got something on my hands," Brown said after No. 6 OU's win over Oklahoma State. "It was surreal. Last play of the game, got a chance to do something."
Brown was in the stadium the last time the Sooners won on a failed 2-point conversion attempt. On that day in 2015, it was former safety Steven Parker who came up with the game-saving swat, giving the Sooners a 30-29 win over TCU — and eventually propelling them to the College Football Playoff.
Brown was in the stands for Parker's big moment. Then a junior at Union High School in Tulsa, Okla., Brown was in Norman for a recruiting visit for that game. He was still a few months away from receiving his OU offer, but it's an experience he remembers well.
As for the play Brown made under the lights in Norman on Saturday, the wheels started turning long before OSU scored to pull within one point.
"We did anticipate them going for two if they scored, and that's something we talked about before the drive started," coach Lincoln Riley said. "So, [defensive coordinator Ruffin McNeill] had a call ready, and that ended up being probably the biggest play of the game."
Brown knew exactly what to expect.
"I knew he was going over, QB boot, and he's going to run an out route because that's the only thing he can do. I just read it and ran with it," he recalled.
For a number of reasons, Brown was emotional talking to reporters after the game. Just over three weeks ago, before OU faced TCU, Brown lost his mother. He said he got encouragement from her before he made the play.
"I talked to my mom before the play even happened," Brown said. "Growing up and watching (Bedlam) and being able to make a big play, that was really a blessing.
"I talked to my mom and then I made the play and was like, 'wow, this is amazing.' It was really emotional trying to keep everything in."
Before Tre Brown made his mark, it was Marquise Brown who gave the Sooners a chance to win in the first place.
Trailing 35-34 late in the third quarter, Marquise made the play that helped swing some momentum back toward the Sooners. Murray had just taken a sack, so OU was facing 3rd and 11.
Brown and Lee Morris ran crossing routes, and Brown sprung free -- for a moment. He caught the ball at the line of scrimmage, but had to make two OSU defenders miss in order to move the chains.
And that's exactly what he did:
This play by Marquise Brown on 3rd and long helped re-ignite a stagnant offense. #Sooners pic.twitter.com/bOs67SrjIK— Sooner Gridiron (@soonergridiron) November 10, 2018
"I knew I had some people behind me when I caught it," Brown said. "I changed speeds and was able to get them out of position a little bit and pick up the first down.
"I felt like once we got that one, we got excited and we got going."
If Brown had been stopped short, the Sooners would have been forced to punt and risk falling behind by eight in the final frame.
Instead, Oklahoma scored a few plays later to take a 41-35 lead and never trailed again.
Riley said he was proud of how Murray handled that play -- by trusting his reads and not looking for the home run ball on 3rd and long with the Sooners in a tough spot.
"Huge play," Riley said. "That was when some of the frustrations had started to set in for us offensively. And I had talked to him about 'You can't just keep trying to win this by yourself right now.' You got to just keep trusting it. And that was the right read. And I think a lot of quarterbacks in that situation, it's third and 11, you feel like 'I need to make a play.'
"Kyler trusted it and got it to Marquise in time so he had some space. The fact that Kyler trusted it gave Marquise that opportunity. So I'm proud of those guys. That's what your best players have to do, especially in big games like that."

In September 2018, the team at ITP came together to come up with the Best Dividend Stocks to invest in 2018.
After procrastinating until the year of the Pig, we tabulate our results for since September 2018.
Oink Oink
Best Dividend Stock – Singtel
We would expect all of the stocks to decline in value due to the worldwide technical correction in the last 2 months of 2018.
Singtel was $3.15 when we featured on article, the current share price is $3.06. Which is a decline of $0.09. At it's lowest in 2019, Singtel actually hit $2.86 in January 3rd, which gave Singtel a 5.94% dividend yield.
Since September 2018, Singtel has issued $0.068 of dividends.
Stock Price: -$0.09 Dividend: $0.068
Best Dividend Stock – VICOM Limited
The car inspection company went through a similar movement of decrease before recovering, albeit with lesser price movement.
VICOM was $6.06 when it was featured, the current share price is $6.10, gaining momentum at the end the year of the Dog.
VICOM did not issue any dividends within this period, as historically, they issue dividends in April and August.
Stock Price: $0.04 Dividend: $0.00
Best Dividend Stock – First REIT
The REIT with a lot of noise and movement last year. First REIT was trading at $1.23 and a dividend yield of 6.94%.
With so much negativity around it, First REIT has declined to $1.10. Which is also a recovery from the low of $0.96.
At $0.96, First REIT was trading below NAV and at a dividend yield of 8.95%.
At current price, First REIT has a dividend yield of 7.8%, which is still amazing for a REIT.
First REIT has paid dividends twice since September 2018, $0.0215 each time, bringing in a total of $0.043 in dividends.
Stock Price: -$0.13 Dividend: $0.043
Best Dividend Stock – Fraser Property Limited
The property developer featured in our article at a price of $1.64. The company is now trading at $1.73.
Showing a gain of $0.09. Partly due to fact that dividends was issued on Monday.
1 round of dividend of $0.062 was issued on Chinese New Year Eve. (CNY ANG BAO!!!!! DONG DONG DONG QIANG!!!!!)
Stock Price: $0.09 Dividend: $0.062
Best Dividend Stock – Mapletree Industrial Trust
The second REIT in our list, Mapletree Industrial Trust was trading at $2 in our previous article. And as with all REITs, there is a very slight increase in stock price. It is now trading at $2.02, a small gain of $0.02.
As a REIT, it has distributed dividends of $0.0608 since September.
At current price, Mapletree Industrial Trust is trading at a dividend yield of 5.95%. Not too bad for a REIT.
At it's lowest point at $1.84 in November, Mapletree Industrial Trust was trading at a dividend yield of 6.4% then. If held till now, with the increase in dividend, the yield would have increased to 6.5%.
Stock Price: $0.02 Dividend $0.0608
|Stock Price
|Vicom Limited
|First Reit
|Fraser Property Limited
|Mapletree Industrial Trust
In total, these 5 stocks have provided a dividend income of $0.2338 which is an ROI of 1.66% for 3 months which translates to 6.64% per annum.
Although tabulating the annual returns is too early as not Vicom has not distributed their dividends in this time period. Nonetheless, an ROI of 6.64% for a year is extremely decent result.
Although there is a decline of $0.07 in share price, share price movement in dividend stocks are not important as dividend stocks are held for dividends through the long term. Hence, share price movement should be judged over a longer period of time than 3 months.
For now, these stocks are still issuing dividends.

Yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon our inspectors spotted a transport truck full of mules that were being transported in absolutely horrendous conditions. One of the animals had already been trampled to death inside the truck.
They immediately impounded the animals and brought the truck to the SPCA here in Uvongo. The animals were offloaded carefully and checked by our Vet for injuries and given food and water.
Unfortunately one of the mules was so badly injured it had to be euthanized to end its suffering. In total the SPCA is now caring for 38 mules and 22 sheep and we desperately need assistance to feed them.
We need bales of hay, horse and sheep feed, supplement blocks and any other related fodder. Please we are asking for our community to come together and help these animals that have been treated so badly.
To support the Lower South Coast SPCA, phone them on 039 317 3362/039 312 0962 or 083 222 6355.

I keep reading articles about people complaining about how El Capitan Finder does not handle windowing very well. I am not one of those people that has tons of windows open on the Desktop, but I have tried the "Split View" and liked it. If you really want to take control of windows on your Mac then you need to look at an app called Moom by Many Tricks.
Some people do use a very heavy window workflow, I am not one of them. But, I do use several windows in the Finder at times depending on what I am doing. Right now I have my blogging software, Blogo located to the left side of the screen, a Finder folder containing images in the upper right quadrant of the screen and the Safari browser in the bottom right quadrant of the screen; all just so I can do this article!
When my Desktop gets like this I end up moving a lot of stuff around all the time. Enter a very cool app called Moom. I know, catchy name right. Moom is quite sophisticated, it allows you to arrange windows in all kinds of different ways. Here is how it works.
You can buy Moom from the App Store or from their website for $10. If you are a windower (just made up a new word) then I highly recommend it. The gist of this app is it pops up a window with placement choices when you roll the mouse over the green window button in the upper left corner of your Mac app like so:
Here it is in action in Safari. Here is what those icons mean from left to right. The first icon puts the app in "full-screen". The next one over moves the window to the left half of the screen. The next one moves the app to the right half of the screen. Then next to the top half of the screen and the next to the bottom half of the screen. It is really easy to move an app like Blogo to the left side of the screen and a folder of images to the right side of the screen and then get to work. But, there is more, of course.
If you look at the above image you will see these squares down below the little icons. Those are quadrants. So, if you roll over the green window button on a window or app it will present the Moom menu. If you wish to put that window into a quadrant just move your moust to that quadrant and the window is moved there. To do this article, I Moomed Blogo to the left half of the screen, the Safari browser to the lower right quadrant and a folder of images to the upper right quadrant. Everything I need to do the article is arranged on the screen for easy use.
Moom has other stuff you can do. I think what I will do here is show you some of the Preferences areas. There is no way I can go over it all, but here is an overview.
Moom Preferences
This is the main Preference window for Moom:
You can set some general stuff in this area. As you can see you can choose to run Moom as a standalone app, a menubar item or just in the background. I like the menubar feature because it is out of the way, but I can change settings easily.
If you go into the "Mouse" area you get into the nitty gritty of Moom setup. This is where you can choose what size your grid is (I have a quadrant of 4, but you can have bunches) and set other popup type behavior:
You can set keyboard shortcuts for Moom if you wish. There is also a Custom area where you can customize the window sizes:
I have not done too much with this Custom area, but it seems you can make Moom windows in almost any configuration and size. It is a very versatile program.
I have only used Moom for a few days, but I really love it. There are times when I am in one app for a long time so I don't need Moom. But if I am working on a project with several Finder or App windows then Moom it is totally handy. You can download a free trial. I highly recommend at least doing that to see if it is a good fit for you.

Just submitted my entry, but here's the data about it anyway.
You're, like, in a forest, and hunt muglies with your flashlight. All you need to do is point your flashlight around. No clicking required.
I'm particularly happy with the audio side this time, as it's the first time I've used my audio equipment. Whee! Too bad I don't know how to make music, but well.. it's the feeling that counts, I guess.
You can also grab the game, the zip includes win32 binaries and source code. The sources need SDL, SDL_Mixer and GLee to compile. I'm fairly certain they will work as is on linux and/or osx.
I'm off to an amusement park tomorrow, so I doubt I'll be updating this further. Have fun!

Vidizi (pronouncеd "vid-еasy") is an еasy-to-usе onlinе vidеo crеation tool. Using a drag-and-drop еditor, it allows you to crеatе profеssional quality vidеos for paid advеrtising matеrial or for your social mеdia accounts. No tеch or profеssional еditing skills arе rеquirеd.
Thе softwarе is cloud-basеd, so you can accеss it from anywhеrе with an intеrnеt connеction. And it comеs with prе-packagеd, licеnsе-frее audio and vidеo built in to thе Vidizi platform.
All of thе audio and vidеo is uniquе and tailor-madе for crеating ads that pеrform wеll in a social mеdia еnvironmеnt (you'll lеarn еxactly why latеr).
Thе vidеos arе fully-customizablе with tеxt and color ovеrlays, and you can upload your own audio and vidеos as wеll. At thе timе of this writing, no othеr platform I'vе found offеrs this.
In a nutshеll, Vidizi is a tool for crеating еffеctivе social mеdia ads quickly, еasily, and most importantly, cost-еffеctivеly.
How it works?
In thе imagе bеlow, you will sее thе main intеrfacе of thе Vidizi platform. From hеrе, you can sее past vidеos you'vе crеatеd, as wеll as start a nеw projеct or rеcеivе hеlp if you gеt stuck.
Lеt's run through thе crеation of a nеw vidеo. First, you will noticе that you can upload a rеady-madе vidеo from YouTubе. This is handy if you find a YouTubе vidеo that fits your mеssagе.
You can also sеlеct from 100 prе-madе, markеting-rеady vidеos that comе with thе Vidizi platform. I apprеciatеd thе attеntion to quality thе Vidizi tеam put into thеsе. With 100 vidеos, thеy could havе еasily madе thеm lеss profеssional and portrayеd thе samе valuе.
You can also upload a vidеo from your computеr. This mеans you'rе frее to usе matеrial you alrеady havе OR you can takе advantagе of thе work thе Vidizi tеam has alrеady donе and usе thеirs, licеnsе-frее.
Vidizi is built to lеvеragе Facеbook's 15-sеcond rulе for crеating еffеctivе, high-convеrting advеrtising vidеos.
This is why Vidizi is loadеd with tons of 15-sеcond, high dеfinition vidеos that arе pеrfеct for crеating thеsе typеs of ads. (Jimmy pеrsonally usеd thеsе typеs of vidеos to gеt an insanе 1,938% ROI.)
Vidizi's crown jеwеl is its drag-and-drop еditor. It makеs crеating еxpеrt quality markеting vidеos dеad simplе. Hеrе's thе intеrfacе:
Vidizi's еasy-to-usе drag-and-drop vidеo еditor allows you to:
- Add tеxt ovеrlays to convеy your mеssagе and, most importantly, your call to action in an еasy to rеad format.
- Changе thе tеxt's position, alignmеnt, color, font, and highlight. Highlighting is еxtrеmеly powеrful for making your tеxt stand out in a busy Facеbook and social mеdia еnvironmеnt.
- Tеxt transitions to givе your vidеo a nicе, еlеgant flow.
- Choosе music from diffеrеnt gеnrеs to convеy diffеrеnt fееlings within your audiеncе or add your own (which is somеthing no othеr platform I havе found allows).
- Rеplacе thе footagе if you would likе to go anothеr routе.
- Prеviеw thе vidеo so you can sее what it would look likе livе.
- Savе your projеct
- And morе
Any еxpеriеncеd vidеo еditor will tеll you onе of thеir BIGGеST complaints is procеssing and rеndеring a vidеo oncе it has bееn crеatеd. This procеss can takе hours, and if your computеr isn't powеrful еnough, it somеtimеs doеsn't work at all.
Onе of thе things I lovе most about thе Vidizi platform is that it's 100% cloud-basеd. Thе procеssing and rеndеring happеns on thе back of thеir platform in usually undеr 10 minutеs, whilе you sit back and rеlax.
Aftеr procеssing, you can download thе vidеo dirеctly to your computеr with thе option to usе it as еithеr an HD vidеo OR a GIF, complеtеly up to you. And you'rе lеft with a bеautiful vidеo for your markеting campaigns:
It doеsn't gеt any еasiеr to churn out loads of markеting vidеos that arе optimizеd for social mеdia.
Watch the demo video below to see Vidizi in action and have a look at its functionally and features.
Thе Pеrsonal Licеnsе ($57) gеts you:

Clifford woke when the baby coughed. His wife, Betty, snored like a chainsaw. He padded across their studio apartment and took Clifford Jr. from his crib, clutching the child to his chest, patting the baby's back, to loosen phlegm allowing him to breathe. The baby fell asleep, and Clifford returned to bed.
Betty's eyes opened.
Clifford said, "He needs a specialist."
Betty sighed. "With what money?"
"What if we have a crisis?"
"Emergency Room," she said.
"That's crazy."
"Find a better job." Betty rolled away.
The next morning, Betty warmed the baby's bottle while preparing a tuna fish sandwich for Clifford's lunchbox. Clifford gulped coffee with the Philadelphia Inquirer opened on the table.
Clifford said, "Ninety-seven million people won't vote in the Presidential Election." He shrugged at Betty. "I haven't registered. What's the point?"
On a moderate fall afternoon; the sun hung on a blue canvass with wispy, white streaks like drippings from a Pollack paint bucket. Clifford sat on a bench above Crum Creek eating his lunch.
A black man wearing a tattered cardigan approached. "Have any spare change?"
Clifford reached into his lunchbox. "How about an apple instead?"
The black man smiled. He was missing two incisors. "Much obliged."
Swarthmore wasn't the worst place to be on the street, but Clifford thought, better to be homeless in Hawaii. He watched "Hawaii Five-O" regularly, and the weather was always perfect. Fresh pineapple rather than Macintosh handouts would be a plus. How would a poor guy get to Hawaii? There were days that Clifford wanted to escape. Leave Betty. Now, with the baby's illness, how could he? What if his son succumbed? Too scary. Still, someplace idyllic, away from worry and drudge, drew him.
The distant chant didn't disturb Clifford's contemplation until a crowd of students with Swarthmore sweatshirt insignias approached. "Make racists afraid again."
Clifford's eyebrows rose. He munched his tuna sandwich.
A professorial-aged woman, with half her head shaved and the other half with shoulder-length purple dreadlocks, carried a sign, "Nasty women against Trump." She spotted Clifford's gaze and strode to him.
"What are you looking at?"
Clifford stirred as if awoken.
She continued. "You look like a white-privileged misogynist. I bet you'll vote for Trump?"
Clifford swallowed a mouthful of tuna, but didn't respond.
"Won't admit it? You probably lack the education of a toad."
Clifford stiffened. "I finished high school."
Clifford averted his eyes.
The woman rejoined the other marchers.
That evening, when Clifford entered his apartment, Betty was at the stove. "Clifford, you look troubled. Something happened at work?"
Betty wiped her hands on a dish towel. "I'm sorry what I said about your job. I'll go back to work as soon as I feel safe leaving Clifford Jr. with daycare. We'll afford the specialist. We'll be all right."
Clifford nodded. The couple hugged.
Betty said, "You still look sad. Is there something else?"
"Not really. Do you know if I can still register to vote?"

I'm typing this out on my new EZBook X4, Jumper's latest Gemini Lake laptop. It's really the EZBook 3L Pro with a few tweaks or the even the Teclast F7 (The current best Apollo Lake Laptop) The build is identical and this isn't a bad thing, it is also selling for the same price of $299, has full alloy housing, good internal layout and build, plus a nice big copper heatsink.
Two USB 3.0 ports, Realtek USB 2.0 Micro reader (Sadly not USB 3.0) and a surprise. HDMI 2.0A, yes it's running my 4k monitor at 60hz at UHD. I knew the Gemini Lake supports HDMI 2.0 and DDR4, but I never saw HDMI 2.0 mentioned on the press info so assumed the worse. HDMI 1.4A limiting me to only UHD 30hz which is too laggy for desktop use.
Below is the Jumper EZBook X4 unboxing and hands-on review. (It will be live tomorrow)

13:43 – First impressions
14:20 – Pros & Cons
The EZBook X4 is only 1.35 kilos in weight and 18mm thin more or less. This again like the EZBook 3L Pro and Teclast F7. The keyboard has the same Teclast F7 feel and layout, but is now silver (Not sure a great move) but with a two-stage backlight. It's white and bright enough. Something you wouldn't expect. However, from some angles, it can be hard to read the keys. The same issue I faced on the Xiaomi Mi Air 12.5″ model. The touchpad is a Windows precision one, just like the Tecalst F7 and a good one at that.
Other improvements are the SSD slot is 2242, but can also take all common sizes. 2242, 2260 and 2280. The jumper must have seen use modding the EZBook 3 Pro and installing 2280 SSD's so great move to allow all sizes. The move from eMMC to SSD is also a good one, double the capacity and speed of the old eMMC 64GB Sandisk drivers.
The RAM is both a pro and con. We get DDR4 2400mhz now, so, much faster. But only 4GB of it which isn't great, 2018 should set 8GB as the minimal amount you can ship a Windows 10 laptop with. Down 2GB over the Apollo Lake models. DDR4 prices and price point are to blame. But there must surely be plans for an 8GB model with Teclast apparently releasing a Celeron N4100 with 8GB. This brings us to the CPU, 200Mhz more max turbo up to 24Ghz, 2Mb cache more – now 4Mb, HDMI 2.0 support. And other minor tweaks. It runs a stock TDP of 9W. But for now, Jumper has the bios fully unlocked. TDP can be increased or set to unlimited for a real healthy boost to performance at the cost of heat and reduced battery life as seen on the Apollo lake laptops I did the TDP tweak on.
Hopefully, V2 and further updates will not touch the power limits or introduce new issues. Jumper is famous for fixing something that isn't broke. The EZbook 3 Pro V4 for example.
But it's not all sunshine and lollypops. Like the EZBook 3L Pro, it has a BOE brand 1920 x 1080 14″ TN Panel. This can be a deal breaker for some. The panel has good colours for a TN panel, horizontal viewing angles are fine. Vertical viewings angels aren't. But this is where I say it might be a deal breaker. So far using it once adjusted so I'm looking at it full on, it's perfectly fine. And in a way better than my IPS Teclast F7 screen. It's the moment I stand up you see the top begins to darken and it's hard to see the image. So for one on one use, it's fine, but if you have someone else viewing the screen then one of you will have the degraded poor viewing angle.
EZBook X4 improvements over the Apollo Lake N3450 Teclast F7 or EZBook 3L Pro.
- Faster by up to 25% (Factory 9W TDP)
- DDR4 RAM 2400Mhz vs 1600Mhz
- Takes all M.2 SATA3 SSD sizes now without mods.
- Backlit keyboard
- Supports up to 4k/UHD 60hz. HDMI 2.0A spec
- Comes with 128GB SSD (SATA3 BWIN brand)
Cons Vs Teclast F7
- 2GB of RAM less
- Silver keys harder to see
- TN Panel.
Now the speed of EZBook X4 feels somewhat smoother and quicker than the Teclast F7, to be expected from the Gemini Lake with it's stock TDP (Power limit) of 9Watts got a Geekbench 4 score of 1890+ single core and 5000+ Multicore. This beats the 1400 single and 4100 multi of the Teclast F7's Celeron N3450.
The wireless AC is still the Intel 3165, it's a decent chipset. But I was hopeful it would ship with the new gigabit wireless cards with Bluetooth 5.0 the Intel 9600 series. In my use now of the EZBook X4 I like it more than the Teclast F7 for its speed and improvements like 4k60hz which has been something I have been after for a long time. In my opinion, the TN panel isn't great, but since I look at my screen face one, for me this is not a deal breaker. So it's a keeper, all I've done is tweak the calibration with my Spyder Pro5. The Battery cells are 37Wh in total, estimated mixed use of 6 hours. For the $299 price it's currently selling for and you can live with looking at a TN panel straight on it's a great laptop so far. I see no "deal breakers".
I will see what the thermals are and if they are fine. I will run a 10W TDP or unlimited like I do on my Tecalst F7 and see how this boosts performance. If Teclast or Jumper give us this exact laptop but with 8GB of RAM and an IPS. It will be the new Chinese budget champion for mid-2018. No doubt in my mind.
The full Jumper EZBook X4 review will follow soon in 1-2 weeks time after I've used it enough and know all the pros and cons.

While I was toiling away at my submission for Etsy's Design Face-off, I took a couple quick brain-refreshing doodle breaks. I probably won't do anything with them but they made Justin laugh so much that I thought I should share.
The first doodle of "the spirit of Etsy" makes me smile and think of the simpler times on Etsy when the rules of the site were pretty much open to interpretation. The "spirit of Etsy" policy was messy and abused but was so sweetly optimistic that I loved it a little.
The second doodle, "Mail time! Thriller dance!" is pretty much an illustration of myself every day at 2:00. I love mail time. When I get that magic stimulus check I'm going to dance like there is no tomorrow.

Crafted in the wake of Jean-Luc Godard's immortal Alphaville ‒ a deadpan French New Wave satire of contemporary espionage and sci-fi films ‒ Jess Franco's Cartes sur table ‒ better known to English-speaking audiences as Attack of the Robots ‒ is a campy tale of tricks and traps. In fact, Franco's French/Spanish co-production even casts the same lead from Godard's cult classic: the one and only Eddie Constantine (a personal favorite film idol of mine), who sets out to discover just who is turning people with the rare "Rhesus Zero" (presumably a variation of the extremely rare Rhnull blood type)

Universal Horror Collection, Volume 2 Blu-ray Review: Atwill Employment, Mostly
Scream Factory brings us four classics from the vault starring the legendary talents of Lionel Atwill and George Zucco.
The phrase "classic Universal horror" is most likely to get a vintage monster movie enthusiast to talk nerd shop about the timeless charm and chills of the iconic studio's best-loved creations. Dracula. The Frankenstein monster. The Mummy. The Invisible Man. The Wolf Man. You know, those guys. But there were many more ghoulish productions filmed on the proverbial backlot than some people may realize. In fact, Universal Studios made nearly twice as many non-canon horror movies compared to their major franchise entries. But it wasn't until Scream Factory unleashed the first volume of the much-needed Universal Horror Collection ‒ a
Let The Sunshine In Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review: Love Is...Brutally Human
There's no sunshine in Claire Denis's low-key and bleak anti-romantic comedy about the absurdity of what we do for love.
For most people, love is a constant slope towards madness and eventual pain. We crave it, but sometimes, when it's not the type that we desire, we throw it away. Basically, adult relationships are messy, complicated, and according to celebrated director Claire Denis' 2017 bleak comedy, Let The Sunshine In, brutally human. With an amazingly complex and subtle performance by the usually compelling Juliette Binoche, Denis paints a frustratingly truthful portait of love that most directors couldn't or wouldn't touch. Binoche brilliantly plays Isabelle, a divorced but successful painter in Paris, whose frequent demands for love belittle her ultimate desire:
Diamonds of the Night Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review: The Story of Youth Under Fire with a Brilliantly Fractured Eye
A startling and very tense debut from the most unflinching director of the now-ancient Czechoslovak New Wave.
There are many similarities between Luis Bunuel and underrated auteur/director Jan Nemec. They both use surrealism to dictate the often limitless boundaries of human behavior. When it comes to their films, you don't really know which is reality, and which is fantasy. However, you want to watch their cinema repeatedly to uncover more details that missed the first time around. While Bunuel depicts human behavior with a satirical edge, Nemec directs his films with surrealist details, but which a more serious viewpoint, especially when it comes to war and how it affects people in a certain time and place.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post Blu-ray Review: Understated and Challenging
Chloe Grace Moretz's amazing performance anchors this timely, funny, and at times difficult film of a sadly still existing subject.
The fact that conversion therapy still exists is appalling to me, and it is still a controversial topic that rarely gets talked about. However, there have been at least a few films that dealt with it in their own satirical or dramatic ways, such as But I'm A Cheerleader (1999), and last year's Boy Erased. But for me, I think that director Desiree Akhavan's understated and challenging The Miseducation of Cameron Post, also from last year, gets it right the most with its mix of humor, drama, and honesty. Based on the acclaimed novel by Emily M. Danforth, the film
Monstrosity (1987) / Weirdo: The Beginning (1989) Blu-ray Reviews: Why? WHY?
Garagehouse Pictures releases a pair of awful horror obscurities which may either induce vomiting, blindness, or death, depending on how lucky you are.
Just when I thought the world was starting to get over its nasty habit of not making a whole heck of a lot of sense, Garagehouse Pictures dropped a major bomb on me. Sure, on the surface, the HD offerings of two Los Angeles-made minor indie horror flicks from the late '80s may seem like good cause to rejoice. Alas, both 1987's Monstrosity and 1989's The Weirdo (or, Weirdo: The Beginning, as it is also called) stem from the sadistic and unimaginative world of the late Andy Milligan, so any and all signs of something amazing being found in these
The Real McCoy (1993) Blu-ray Review: Dammit, Kim!
Kino Lorber places Russell Mulcahy's heist stinker starring Kim Basinger and Val Kilmer on display for you to give or take.
Like Kino Lorber's recent release of 1974's The Midnight Man, 1993's The Real McCoy is another Universal production filmed in the South about an ex-con who finds it isn't easy to change their stripes (so to speak). Of course, comparing The Midnight Man to The Real McCoy is like juxtaposing Highlander with Highlander 2: The Quickening. The subtle film reference joke there being that the latter three titles were all manufactured by a filmmaker one either loves or hates (or both, if they're a Highlander fan): one-time pop music video director Russell Mulcahy. Here, former Vicki Vale Kim Basinger stars
The Midnight Man (1974) Blu-ray Review: I Could Stay Here All Night
One of Burt Lancaster's most elusive (and intriguing) features finally hits home video in the U.S. thanks to Kino Lorber.
Occasionally referred to by the relatively few who have seen it as a Southern precursor to David Lynch's Twin Peaks, 1974's The Midnight Man is an exceptional neo-noir starring the one and only Burt Lancaster as Jim Slade: an ex-cop from Chicago, who also happens to be an ex-con. Released from stir after serving a stint over a crime of passion (which is, thankfully, only alluded to), Slade accepts a job as a night watchman at a college in a tiny, sleepy-eyed town in the South; an invitation for a new life extended by his old friend, fellow ex-cop Quartz
The House That Would Not Die (1970) Blu-ray Review: A Clear Case of Repossession
Barbara Stanwyck's lackluster TV-movie debut is pulled out of the vault by Kino Lorber.
Originally broadcast as an ABC Movie of the Week just four days before Halloween in 1970, The House That Would Not Die was one of umpteen-gazillion TV movies produced by the one and only Aaron Spelling. In this strange little blast from the past, former screen goddess Barbara Stanwyck ‒ one of many Hollywood stars who found much-needed work during the TV-movie heyday (in fact, she makes her debut in one here) ‒ stars as a silver-haired woman who has inherited a Revolutionary War-era home in Pennsylvania's Amish country. Yeah, it sounds positively terrifying already, I know. Moving into the
The Atomic Cafe Blu-ray Review: How I Learned to Keep Worrying, Laugh Uneasily, and Continue to Fear the Bomb
One of the most essential films, documentary or otherwise, in the history of Cinema.
When converseing of satire about our deepest, troubling fear about potential nuclear catastrophe, Stanley Kubrick's 1964 masterpiece, Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, seemed for its time the only cinematic representation of very bleak humor of nuclear proportions. However, if there's one film that matches it for extremely black comedy, or ever betters it, it is the 1982 cult-classic documentary, The Atomic Cafe, which does the derision in such an absurd way that it actually remains as alarmingly vital as it obviously was almost 40 years ago. Mixed with Cold War blasphemy (or
Zombie: 40th Anniversary Limited Edition (1979) Blu-ray Review: A Real Eye-Opener
Blue Underground gives Lucio Fulci's groundbreaking "massacre-piece" a gorgeous new 4K restoration, and the results are even more shocking than ever.
It's hard to keep a good zombie down, and the regular re-emergence of Lucio Fulci's seminal Dawn of the Dead rip-off onto home video is quite the indication it will never go out of style. One of the most quintessential Italian splatter flicks ever made, this epic bastard sequel to George A. Romero's masterpiece launched the horror movie career for director Fulci, whilst simultaneously leaving a noticeable boot print on the map for Italy itself. Known around the world by an oft-bizarre assortment of alternate titles ‒ including Zombi 2 (its original title, as christened to cash-in on the release
Gas Food Lodging Blu-ray Review: A Moving Study of Women on Their Own Terms
A wonderfully somber portrait of women at a crossroads.
As I have mentioned time and time again, the essence and importance of women filmmakers continues to be taken for granted. It is really a damn shame, because women have excellent ability to make their own films about life, love, and everything in-between. And fortunately, director Allison Anders is definitely one of them. With her stunning 1992 landmark, Gas Food Lodging, she elevates familiar territory while adding her own distinctive flair for women in emotional peril. Based on a novel by Richard Peck, the film takes place in a small New Mexico town where Nora (Brooke Adams), a single mother
Distant Voices, Still Lives Blu-ray Review: Accurately Captures the Battle of the Sexes
A minimalist, but masterful portrait of harrowing family dynamics.
Stories about troubled families doesn't hit cinema too often, but when they're done well, such as in Rachel Getting Married, Ordinary People, Hannah and Her Sisters, and A Family Thing, they can hit hard. Such a case is director Terrence Davies' 1988 breaktrough masterpiece, Distant Voices, Still Lives, which brilliantly tells an all-too-real harrowing story, but with music, humor, and unsentimental truth. Loosely based on Davies's own upbringing, the film is told in two parts of the lives of a family in 1940s/'50s Liverpool, where siblings Tony (Dean Williams) and Maisie (Lorriane Ashbourne), along with their mother (Freida Dowie), gather
Cabin Boy (1994) Blu-ray Review: Still Floating After All These Years
Kino Lorber bravely launches a Special Edition release for one of the most hated films of the mid '90s.
Though I never saw the film in its entirety until much later in life, I was nevertheless present when Adam Resnick's Cabin Boy briefly flickered onto silver screens near and far in 1994. I was also there when word began to spread (and quickly, at that) regarding just how popular of a title it was at the time. But my personal favorite Cabin Boy story hailed from a secondhand account, wherein a former acquaintance of mine enjoyed the movie's many, many flaws so much, that he exited the cineplex in tears, resulting in one very confused usher walking up to
Gold (1974) Blu-ray Review: Always Believe in Your Soul
Kino Lorber digs up this strange British mish-mash of just about every genre under the ground starring Roger Moore, Susannah York, Ray Milland, and Bradford Dillman.
For years, finding a copy of Gold in its original unaltered form was about as rare as the eponymous mineral itself. Thankfully for a wide array of vintage offbeat film enthusiasts, Peter Hunt's unsung mashup has been refined for a new High-Definition release from Kino Lorber Studio Classics. And boy, oh boy, what a strange little "dig" this one makes for! Set (and mostly filmed) in South Africa during its infamous apartheid regime, Gold stars the late great Sir Roger Moore (who had only inherited the role of James Bond from Sean Connery the year before) as the very manly
A Minute to Pray, a Second to Die (1968) Blu-ray Review: And Nearly Two Hours to Snooze
Kino Lorber unholsters one of the most boring, cynical, shallow, and violent attempts to cash-in on the Spaghetti Western craze.
If you had the good fortune to grow up in or around video rental stores during the '80s and '90s, then there's a darn good chance you saw a very generic-looking videocassette cover for A Minute to Pray, a Second to Die (Un minuto per pregare, un istante per morire) on the shelf at one point or another. I know I certainly did, and I was always a little put off by the lack of its "enticing" artwork. Nevertheless, when teenaged me beget his Spaghetti Western phase and I had burned through all of the more popular-looking titles, Franco Giardi's
A Strange Adventure (1956) Blu-ray Review: An Unremarkable Thriller
Young Nick Adams highlights this entertainingly cheapo Republic Pictures crime flick, now available from Kino Lorber Studio Classics.
While the cliffhanger serial formula Republic Pictures would be so well remembered for had already been extinct by the time they cranked out the aptly-titled ‒ and noticeably cheap ‒ A Strange Adventure in 1956, I think it's safe to say the spirit of the ol' chapterplay was still alive and kickin' in this production. Helmed by ace serial director William Witney (The Adventures of Captain Marvel), this lukewarm hard-boiled thriller from writer Houston Branch (Mr. Wong, Detective) opens with Ben Cooper (as one very grown-up teenager) getting hooked on Marla English (The She-Creature). Alas, Marla is one of them
I Walk Alone (1947) Blu-ray Review: A Fine, Slow-Burning Film Noir
Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas go toe-to-toe for the very first time in this classic crime drama from Kino Lorber Studio Classics.
The first of what would ultimately tally up to be seven feature films starring the talents of Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas ‒ a collaboration that would span nearly four decades, concluding with Tough Guys in 1986 ‒ I Walk Alone takes us back to when the two iconic performers were still essentially strangers to one another. In the case of this fine, slow-burning film noir from first-time (solo) director Byron Haskin (Robinson Crusoe on Mars, September Storm), the separation between the two leads only helps to add fuel to the fire. Here, Mr. Lancaster plays Frankie Madison, a one-time
The Day After Blu-ray Review: Still Has a Probing Effect on Society Today
A slightly crude, but still chillingly effective TV classic about nuclear horror.
When it comes to nuclear annihilation, there have been many successful cinematic attempts to truly justify the horrifying reality of doomsday, such as Fail-Safe, Threads, The War Game, and On The Beach. However, in my opinion, director Nicholas Meyer's 1983 landmark, The Day After, is the outing that most people remember. It may have been a TV movie, but that didn't stop it from traumatizing an entire generation, telling a story of nuclear catastrophe experienced by everyday people. Set mostly in Kansas and Missouri, the film takes place before, during, and after the U.S. and Russia go to war with
Tiger by the Tail (1970) Blu-ray Review: The Lyons' Tiger's a Bear, Oh My
Christopher George, Tippi Hedren, Charo, and a lot of wood paneling star in this odd little thriller from Kino Lorber Studio Classics.
Outwardly, there isn't much for the average contemporary moviegoer to get excited about over R.G. Springsteen's Tiger by the Tail. But before you go wandering off in search of something else to view, consider what this fairly tepid, tiny thriller has to offer internally. Shot in the late '60s, this, the final film from one of the most prolific B-western directors ever, centers on a slightly disgraced Vietnam veteran who gets caught up in a thoroughly predictable web of conspiracy after his racetrack-owner brother is murdered during a hold-up coordinated by one (or more) of his corrupt colleagues amid the

District Rolls the Dice on San Leandro Hospital | Mayor Santos Take the Heat | City Council's Bloodlust for San Leandro Times Reporter | Gregory's Baseless Attack | Joyce, Our Choice!
Make no mistake, Monday's firing of the Eden Township Healthcare District's long-time attorney may be the biggest story in San Leandro Hospital's run of notable developments this year. With the bold, yet risky move, Directors Carole Rogers and Dr. Vin Sawhney have reached the stratosphere of reverence among hospital workers and the community, while Dr. Bill West, according to numerous supporters of the hospital, has delivered on the promise of turning the District towards a more offensive direction against Sutter Health. Aside from overheated rhetoric this week from San Leandro Mayor Tony Santos and Ratnesar, the move by the District is a risky gamble, but one some have been long saying needed to be done. It is generally agreed Sutter, with the 2007 MOU, is operating from a hugely advantageous position that made the District's more defensive position a bit toothless. The next three to four months may prove whether the move was valiant and victorious or a historic blunder for health care in the East Bay. The stake are now as high as they have ever been and seemingly rest on a set of lawyers very familiar with Sutter who may have more of an uphill battle in San Leandro than in their previous battleground in Marin County.
'WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?' Tony Santos has been telling anyone who listens that he's had a finger on the San Leandro Hospital issue for two years–longer than anyone, he says–although Monday he says it's now three years. In the meantime, he has confounded supporters of the saving the hospital which is also a vast majority of the city, by positioning himself in the center of both sides, but more times than not oddly sounding like a Sutter apologist. He has criticized doctors at San Leandro Hospital for making it unprofitable by using facilities for some procedures and diagnostics. On numerous occasions, he has played the role of pragmatist by saying a private hospital chain is not entitled to provide a subsidy to keep a money-losing hospital operating and now has led the charge to discredit the Eden board's firing of their legal counsel. There is very little consensus as what Santos is aiming to accomplish, especially in the context of an election year in 2010. Supporters of the hospital have lit up message boards generally asking is he weakly trying to appear relevant or being used as a stooge by Sutter? One board member in a Facebook response to a comment from the mayor (now removed) actually wrote "Whose side are you on?" Despite noise over a possible deal with Sutter pushed by Santos and Ratnesar, sources still say the main issue with any hybrid option is a yearly subsidy of between $6-9 million. It was the crux of the problem before and still remains, sources tell The Citizen. An interesting side show to the this whole story, is a suggestion made by Alameda County Health Services Director Alex Briscoe where the District and the city of San Leandro pitch-in funding for some of the costs. Santos alluded to some groups asking the city to get involved and he seemed amendable to it. Any action would have to go through the city council where it would be interesting to see the issue debated between mayoral rivals Santos and Vice mayor Joyce Starosciak. In the past month, the two have used a few key city issues as proxy battles for next year's election. At a body where they have debated the use of a few measly dollars in a tight city budget situation, allocating a few millions dollars at San Leandro Hospital could be a heated showdown.
THE COUNCIL OPTS FOR MOB VIOLENCE Politicians and reporters do not get along and nor should they, but there is usually a mutual appreciation of the services each other provides to their community. Reporters are sometimes critical of politicians and the reverse, but what numerous members of the San Leandro City Council did Monday night was over the line in criticizing a front page story in last week's San Leandro Times. The stoning of Amy Sylvestri's article on Measure WW funding was unmerciful. No less than five councilmembers commented on the piece. The Citizen is not here to vouch for the veracity of the article, but to remind the council to retain a bit of decorum. A journalists ability to present the facts of a story in a comprehensive and trustworthy manner is a reporters most cherished trait and it hampers their ability to put food on the table and pay the mortgage. Besides, the article was not factually incorrect, but a bit ambiguous. What the city sorely needs is to hire a public relations officer to make the city's case clear in such stories. Such piling on by the city council could have been glossed over if not for their residual bloodlust aimed at The Citizen. During a recess Monday night, Councilman Michael Gregory, referring to an article detailing his meeting with Eden boardmember Dr. Bill West, said he has not spoken with West for two months and said "You should get your facts straight." The statement, made as the face of the collective council was still dripping with the blood of the Times reporter, is preposterous. Here's the facts, the story quotes West saying he met with Gregory on the subject of the hospital while the mayor confirmed the meeting and another source detailed the conversation. Gregory was said to be uncomfortable with approaching West on the subject at the mayor's insistence. Other than the hospital being located in Gregory's district, he also lives in close proximity to West. Telling a reporter to get their facts straight when, indeed, they are rock solid is insulting and cavalier.
GIVE ME A J-O-Y-C-E! You haven't seen campaign signs for Vice Mayor Joyce Starosciak's run for Tony Santos' job yet, but a preview of one is on her web site and on glossy literature around the city. One irascible former city official thought they were "horrible" and another less cranky current official wondered if the absence of her last name meant she was admitting its was unpronounceable. Listen, it's not hard to say. Try it. Stuh-ROSE-see-ak. Aside from that, leaving out her surname from campaign signs is a bit peculiar when her name recognition is a bit low among most of the city. That being said, some have mocked the rhyming, sing-song tagline of "Joyce. Your Choice". I don't see anything wrong with it. In fact, after covering San Leandro for the last six months, I can tell you the city leaders are not only saddled with a financial deficit, but an extreme deficit of humor. Robin Williams would bomb at the city council chambers and if someone placed a banana peel on the ground for comedy effect, a councilmember would pick it up and put it in their compost bin. So, a little humor and personality is very welcomed and besides what would you expect from a former cheerleader? Gooooo team!--S.T.

Normal approximation assignment help
If np and nq are both at least 5, it turns out that the binomial circulation can be estimated utilizing the normal circulation. Remember that the mean of a binomial circulation is np and the variation of the binomial circulation is npq.
, we now see why our approximations were rather close to the specific possibilities. In basic, the further p is away from 0.5, the bigger the sample size n is required.The normal circulation can be utilized as an approximation to the binomial circulation, under particular scenarios, particularly:The distinction in between the locations is 0.044, which is the approximation of the binomial possibility. For these criteria, the approximation is really precise. The presentation in the next area enables you to explore its precision with various specifications.
Actions to working a normal approximation to the binomial circulation.
- Determine success, the likelihood of success, the variety of trials, and the wanted variety of successes. Given that this is a binomial issue, these are the very same things which were determined when working a binomial issue.
- Transform the discrete x to a constant x. Some individuals would argue that action 3 ought to be done prior to this action, however proceed and transform the x prior to you forget it and miss out on the issue.
If the smaller sized one is at least 5, then the bigger need to likewise be, so the approximation will be thought about excellent. When you discover np, you're in fact discovering the mean, mu, so represent it.This workout needs to determine the portion of likelihood by 2 methods. Concern (a) compute by binomial, Question (b) compute by normal approximation plus describe and compare and comment why it is equivalent or comparable to (a). I can just determine and can not comment on it.if I have this right, you have actually discovered (a), your binomial, and (b) the normal approximation. Exactly what are your outcomes? I'm presuming they are various: the concern is most likely asking you to state exactly what the distinction is and why (i.e. due to the fact that you're utilizing the 2 various techniques).For precise worths for binomial likelihoods, either usage computer system software application to do precise estimations or if n is not really big, the likelihood estimation can be enhanced by utilizing the connection correction. When a result X requires to be consisted of in the likelihood computation, the normal approximation utilizes the period from (X-0.5) to (X +0.5).
Binomial circulations handle discrete variables which are made from entire systems without any worths in between them, such as coin turns that are tails or heads, basketball tosses that make the hoop or not, or device parts that are malfunctioning or not. Normal circulations, nevertheless, handle constant variableswhich are limitless in the variety of times you can divide their periods, such as gross pay, heights, or cholesterol levels. To make sure the very best approximation when handling these 2 variable types, we utilize a connection correction aspect.Lot of times the decision of a likelihood that a binomial random variable falls in a variety of worths bores to determine. This is due to the fact that to discover the possibility that a binomial variable X is higher than 3 and less than 10, we would have to discover the possibility that X equates to 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, and after that include all these possibilities together. If the normal approximation can be utilized, we will rather have to figure out the z-scores representing 3 and 10, and after that utilize a z-score table of likelihoods for the basic normal circulation.
The approximation is just of useful usage if simply a couple of terms of the Poisson circulation need be computed. It is possible, of course, to utilize high-speed computer systems to do the math however the normal approximation to the binomial circulation negates this in a relatively sophisticated method.where n is the variety of trials and π is the likelihood of success. The approximation will be more precise the bigger the n and the closer the percentage of successes in the population to 0.5.n this area you discovered the presumptions had to utilize the normal approximation to thebinomial circulation. You discovered ways to calculate and for the normal approximation, howto utilize the connection correction to transform a series of r worths to a matching series of normalx worths, and the best ways to transform the x worths to a series of standardized z ratings and discover desiredprobabilities.
when to utilize the normal approximation to the binomial circulation, the best ways to calculate and for thenormal approximation, and ways to utilize the connection correction to transform a variety of r worths to acorresponding series of normal x worths.Normal approximation or, more normally the asymptotic theory, plays an essential function in the advancements of modern-day possibility and stats. The one-dimensional main limitation theorem and the Edgeworth growth for independent real-valued random variables are well studied. Current advancements on normal approximation by Stein's technique and strong Gaussian approximation will likewise be talked about.The normal circulation can be utilized as an approximation to the binomial circulation, under specific situations, particularly: If X ~ B( n, p) and if n is big and/or p is close to 1/2, then X is around N( np, npq).
Exactly what do we indicate by n being "big adequate"? To identify whether n is big enough to utilize exactly what statisticians call the normal approximation to the binomial, both of the list below conditions need to hold:.When utilizing the normal circulation to approximate the binomial or the Poisson circulations, more precise approximations of the likelihoods are most likely to be gotten if a correction for connection modification is used.If the normal approximation can be utilized, we will rather require to figure out the z-scores corresponding to 3 and 10, and then utilize a z-score table of possibilities for the basic normal circulation.The approximation is just of useful usage if simply a couple of terms of the Poisson circulation need be determined. It is possible, of course, to utilize high-speed computer systems to do the math however the normal approximation to the binomial circulation negates this in a relatively sophisticated method. Current advancements on normal approximation by Stein's approach and strong Gaussian approximation will likewise be gone over.

WASHINGTON — The Trump family lawsuit to block oversight of its finances has House Democrats scrambling to confront what many see as the gravest threat to congressional independence since the Nixon era, reviving internal debate over the ultimate weapon in the Democrats' arsenal: impeachment.
For nearly two weeks, Democrats have debated how to respond to Robert S. Mueller III's findings that President Trump might have obstructed justice, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi urging her fractious rank-and-file to avoid a broad, open-ended impeachment inquiry she believed could backfire disastrously in 2020.
But Democrats see Mr. Trump's latest string of provocations — starting with his blanket declaration last week that he would defy all subpoenas requested by Democratic committees and culminating in this week's legal action — as a dangerous abuse of executive authority that they must address forcefully.
Allies of Ms. Pelosi are publicly floating possible countermeasures, including even pursuing a narrow path to impeachment based on Mr. Trump's refusal to respect the oversight authority of Congress, a move modeled on the third article of impeachment drafted against President Richard M. Nixon in 1974.
"There are all these streams and creeks of offenses that seem to be converging into a bigger river — impeachment," said Representative Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat and former constitutional law professor who serves on the Judiciary Committee.
"There is nothing to explain how the executive branch can defy, categorically, every lawful request for information from the Congress of the United States," added Mr. Raskin, who said he is open to the idea of a limited impeachment inquiry. "President Trump's defiance of Congress is far more comprehensive and sweeping than anything Congress experienced during the Watergate period."
Several Democrats close to Ms. Pelosi said that impeachment still remained unlikely, cautioning that Mr. Trump's threats alone were not enough to spur such action. And her leadership team is keenly aware that Mr. Trump "is goading us" into making a political mistake, according to Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York, who is chairman of the House Democratic Caucus.
"While we may have our difficulties in other areas, we cannot, we cannot, we cannot ignore the needs of the American people as we go forward," Ms. Pelosi said after meeting with the president about kick-starting a long-dormant infrastructure funding bill.
But sentiment appears to have shifted significantly over the past week.
"I am not there yet, but I have to say that the president's obstruction of Congress now following his obstruction of the Justice Department is certainly adding new heft to the idea that he has to be held accountable," Representative Adam B. Schiff of California, chairman of the Intelligence Committee, said in an interview.
He suggested another possible way of striking back at Mr. Trump, using the House's power of the purse. "We're looking at other ways to fence money allocated to the agencies in a way that forces them to comply," said Mr. Schiff, a close ally of Ms. Pelosi's.
Still, the rage toward Mr. Trump is spreading from the left wing of the House to Ms. Pelosi's more moderate allies in Democratic leadership and committee chairmanships. Ms. Pelosi's office on Tuesday compiled a three-page set of talking points titled, "Trump Administration Obstruction: Unprecedented, Unwarranted, Unconstitutional."
"President Trump's stonewalling has metastasized from refusing to release his tax returns or divest his assets to the Trump Administration now refusing to cooperate on every level of government, from the sabotaging Americans' health care to protecting our elections," the document reads.
Representative Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, chairman of the Oversight and Reform Committee, fumed, "If you let them get away with this, then what do you have?"
"If a president can get away with blocking any information or anybody from testifying before the Congress, what road are we going down? Just ask the question. That's the question. I don't think we have any choice but to do every single thing in our power to get him in," said Mr. Cummings, who has been sued by the president over a subpoena issued by the committee for Mr. Trump's financial records.
Democrats have other options, none of them particularly palatable or effective, ranging from votes to hold administration officials in contempt of Congress to civil lawsuits to pry free documents that the president is fighting to withhold.
Representative Gerald E. Connolly, Democrat of Virginia, joked that he would find a "nice jail cell" for administration officials slapped with contempt citations by the House. He called the battle between the branches the most important constitutional confrontation in decades.
"Some of my colleagues aren't taking this seriously enough — we already have prima facie evidence of contempt of Congress — and that is pushing Democrats like me in the direction" of an impeachment inquiry, he added.
Some members of the Congressional Black Caucus have continued to push for a broad impeachment effort. Representative Al Green, Democrat of Texas, said on the House floor that he would try to force a vote on the matter.
A White House spokesman declined to comment. But the president's lawyers have argued that Mr. Trump's actions differ from Mr. Nixon's refusal to hand over documents and recordings in 1974 — because the underlying inquiry into Mr. Trump's actions by the House now is not actually an impeachment inquiry. And, they said, the president is merely trying to defend himself from what they called invasive and illegitimate Democratic inquiries.
"Do they have any lawyers in Congress?" said Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Trump's personal lawyer, who has cast Democrats' actions as an attempt to damage the president's re-election prospects. "Since when can't you contest the legitimacy of a subpoena?"
Ms. Pelosi and her team have tried to stave off such actions, saying instead that the House first needs to investigate the issues raised in Mr. Mueller's report.
In a separate action on Tuesday, Mr. Schiff sent the Justice Department a criminal referral to investigate whether Erik Prince, a private security contractor who figured in Mr. Mueller's investigation, had knowingly lied to his committee in 2017 about meetings he had with foreigners. Mr. Schiff identified six potentially false statements, though a transcript of the committee's interview with Mr. Prince has been public for more than a year.
Mr. Trump's actions are intended to thwart further investigations, leaving Democrats with the prospect of holding witness-less, document-free hearings or exploring other means of punishment.
Over the past few days, Democratic aides and some lawmakers have discussed the possibility of opening an impeachment inquiry independent of, if not unrelated to, the findings in Mr. Mueller's report. A narrower inquiry would put the focus on Mr. Trump's defiance of Congress and could move the battle from the muddy conclusions of Mr. Mueller's report to a loftier debate over separation of powers.
Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York, whose Judiciary Committee is facing the brunt of the administration's intransigence, appears to be losing patience. While Mr. Nadler views impeachment as a last-ditch alternative, he has been less categorical in his rejection of impeachment than Ms. Pelosi, according to several leadership aides with knowledge of his thinking.
The administration appears as if it will not comply with the Wednesday deadline for a subpoena demanding the full, unredacted Mueller report and underlying evidence. It has signaled that it will try to block another subpoena for documents and testimony from Donald F. McGahn II, the former White House counsel who was crucial to Mr. Mueller's work. Meanwhile, Mr. Nadler is threatening to issue another subpoena for Attorney General William P. Barr if he refuses to appear voluntarily at a hearing on the Mueller report scheduled for Thursday because of a dispute over procedure.
"It certainly builds the case that the administration is engaged in a wholesale obstruction of Congress," Mr. Nadler told reporters on Monday. He continued, "It's absolutely unacceptable, and we'll take whatever action we have to do to deal with it."

No Ideas? No Problem. Five Tips to Beat Writer's Block.
- Vivian Songe
- 1.12.2018

- Blog
Oh, we've all been there. One day your head is overflowing with bubbling ideas, and you don't even have time to write them all down before they move on out into the galaxy.
But the next day… nah. Suddenly it's completely silent in there, as if the creative spark has taken a self appointed break. Maybe it has even hung up a dangling sign: "Be back later."
But you need to write now! Arrrgh. What on earth can you do when you get writer's block?
Here are 5 tips that work:
1) Scan the table of contents in a book
Whether you find the book at home, at a friend's house, in a café, at a library or in a bookstore, you will be flabbergasted over how many possible angles for an article you can find this way. You can also find ideas for blog posts, short stories and even novels.
All you have to do is expand on a theme that's already been thought up for you in one of the chapter headings! You will actually find lots of ready-made angles just by looking at the chapters in any book.
So you're welcome, and voila! (What's for dinner?)
2) Call a friend
Ask one of your friends what bothers or interests her at the moment. As we all know, everyday dramas are bound to pop up in a group of friends now and then.
If you find something of interest, why not call her to get all of the juicy details? And help her out a little, or of course (win-win).
To create a great article, focus on a very specific part of being human, preferably a challenge. Then elaborate on it, and you've got it!
3) Take a look at the magazine covers on the news stand
Look for something that interests you in magazines! Words, topics, people, quotes, angles. Why not create a new slant on the same theme?
4) Check online newspapers and magazines from other countries
Preferably magazines you know the language of, but sometimes just seeing an image can be enough to bring out the creative spark.
What are they concerned about on this web page/in this paper/in this magazine? Is there a perspective here that you can transfer to a magazine in your own country?
5) What are YOU thinking about at the moment?
What engages you, interests you, irritates you or creates other feelings? There you go!
Jot it down, do your spin on it, and see if you can make it into an article by adding some great sources and interviews.
But don't just take my word on this. Try it out yourself!
I would love to hear what worked for you. Share your thoughts below 😉

London's new ski-lift-style ride to give visitors a bird's eye view of Oympic landmarks
LONDON --The city's new cable car will be taking visitors to the river -- but presumably will not drop them in the water.
The ski-lift like system began soaring over the Thames River on Thursday, offering a bird's eye view of the London landscape and catering to the tourists expected for the Olympics.
The cable car will make the half-mile (one kilometer) crossing between Greenwich and the Royal Docks, allowing visitors to take in the views of Olympic Park, the Canary Wharf financial center and the Thames Barrier, massive structures in the river that keep London from flooding.
It is called the Emirates Air Line, after the air carrier invested 36 million pounds ($56 million) as part of a 10-year sponsorship deal.
The games take place from July 27-Aug. 12.

Suduvu.com invited me to write a guest essay about Archon and why I wrote the novel. If you check it out, feel free to comment here or at the post itself. I always like to hear what people have to say. I brought up my religious background for the first time, so that makes it a little different. Everyone always asks me how religion has influenced my views on angels and demons.
My common answer?
It's made them a whole heck of a lot scarier. *grin*

The original 18 holes at Evergreen Golf Club opened for play in 1973. the course was designed by Ken Killian and Dick Nugent.
That first course was developed on 150 acres of what had been a dairy farm. The original clubhouse had previously been a restaurant. The original 18 consisted of the 9 holes of the South Course; the 1st and 9th of what is now the East Course; along with holes No. 1 through 5 and 8 and 9 on the North Course.
In 1993, the Evergreen Golf Club East Course was added to create the current 27-hole facility. The East Course opened for play on July 1, 1994, on 110 acres of the former Hartwell farm. The 9-hole addition, designed by Gary Welsh, consisted of the current holes No. 2 through 8 on the East and Nos. 6 and 7 on the North.
$31 (cart included), played on Friday, July 2014 at 6am
OMG...every chance I get to review this course I will...so no one else wastes a minute of their lives here to chased around by marshals and rude staff in the proshop. If you like playing with houses and lawns on every inch of the course then this is the place for you. This place is your standard back and forth course that treats guest with disrespect every chance they get...their army of retired senior starters are the best with walkie talkies and big markers to change what 9 you're playing like they control everything. I once had a marshal follow me for three holes and I was in a twosome....give me a break...Go to Geneva national or Hawks view for a treat to be treated right. These people need to get a life and close this place down...they only care about the bottom like and pushing people through the course. Just read their scorecard and when they talk about bringing beverages on the course you will be kicked out. It's funny just to read some of the things they put on the card. Then there's their golf site that won't even allow input unless it's to tell them they have a great fish fry. They even took themselves off of Golfnow because they couldn't make enough money as they won't discount their golf. I had a gift certificut and I threw it out rather than use it and let them steal my time. Again don't play here unless you live on the course in one of the 100 houses.

$5 green fee (9) and $5 cart made this a deal today and also back on May 5. THANKS! OB for people's back yards make it a little tight in places. Had to take a penalty on a par 3 because I was just right of the cart path 1 foot into the corner of someone's yard FAR from their house. Guess I should have hit the green instead. :)
