Let's start shallow and try to end deeper.
The shallow thought is about campaign theatrics, or, better, the mood with which candidates present themselves to the public.
Part of how Donald Trump connects with his audience, those in the hall and those watching at home, is that he tells them how he experiences things. It comes across as undefended, forthcoming—fresh. Hillary Clinton at this point would never say how she's experiencing things. She doesn't wing it because when she has in the past—from "I'm not sitting here like some little woman standing by my man, like Tammy Wynette" and "I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies" right up to "We came out of the White House not only dead broke but in debt"—she always came to regret impromptu remarks. A certain unconscious snobbery always seeped out, and repelled when she meant to attract.
No one has ever taken Mr. Trump for a snob, but that isn't my point. Mrs. Clinton is heavily defended, mentally edits and re-edits every spontaneous comment, and has a tropism toward the unimaginative. Boring is a safe place to be in politics so I can't imagine she sees it as anything but a trade-off. Better not to give them a memorable quote than to give them "What difference, at this point, does it make?"
Wednesday night in his speech in Cincinnati Mr. Trump was typically free-associative and talked too long, more than an hour. He doesn't know when to stop because he doesn't know when he's made his point, or sometimes what his point was. But he unselfconsciously shares a lot of his internal dialogue, and how he's experiencing things. "Baron draws stars all over the place." "I hate mosquitoes." "Have I been a good messenger?" "I said three times, bad, bad, bad," of Saddam Hussein. The golf swing they showed on TV "actually looked good." "This speech last night was good." He mimicked newscasters, saying "They are liars, these are bad people," and Mrs. Clinton, aping her speech patterns.
There is something scatty in this but also something interesting, possibly potent. There is no invisible scrim between him and the audience. He also has fun and is a comic. I realized he thinks he has to entertain; it's part of his job to be informal, surprising, personal—to make jokes, even to step apart from himself and almost admit: Look, I don't always get it right in interviews but I'm trying over here! Wednesday night as he spoke I thought of Jerry Lewis—"Hey, lady!"—and what was said of him, that a television camera was his full moon.
Anyway, this dynamic—that he personally connects and entertains, and she doesn't—will continue, because he can't stop it and she can't do it.
A note on mainstream media antipathy to Trump. I suspect at the moment it's starting to help him. More than half the country is willing to believe the media are essentially dishonest and mobby, that they function either consciously or not as Democratic operatives, that they don't have to like Mrs. Clinton (and they don't) to function in this way, and that they feel nothing but disrespect for Mr. Trump, his followers and everything they represent. But a lot of TV journalists are particularly upfront and out there now about their antipathy, in part because they're honestly alarmed—this guy could really become president—and in part because it is not respectable not to hate him. But they are starting to make him look sympathetic.
His media foes should watch out for a boomerang effect.
On Mrs. Clinton and FBI Director James Comey's decision to recommend against prosecution:
Mr. Comey looked to me both embarrassed and double-minded. He appeared to want to make clear that Mrs. Clinton was repeatedly untruthful in her public statements on her server and emails. He is a sophisticated man who surely knew people would take video clips of his announced findings and juxtapose them with video clips of her previous assertions. He was clear in his words and made that job easy, which he didn't have to do. He could have spoken the horrible bureaucratic nonlanguage people in government revert to when they don't want to be understood.
When you look at the tapes of Mrs. Clinton's assertions, you see exactly what her face looks like and her voice sounds like when she is lying. That will do her no good!
But the story is now over. In politics when you don't die, you are alive. Prosecution would likely have killed her presidential hopes. With no prosecution she moves forward as a member of the Undead.
The scandal will make Mrs. Clinton look worse to people who had doubts about her essential character, and to those who didn't know they should have reservations. It made her look better to no one. At a certain point a central idea—that she decided to subvert government record-keeping requirements and freedom-of-information requests, and damn the repercussions—broke through. That point was the famous private-plane-on-the-Phoenix-tarmac meeting of Bill Clinton and the attorney general who would ultimately decide her case. People thought: Wow, that smells. It stinks. It was like a plot point in "House of Cards." A saving grace of the Clintons is that they're often too clever by half.
I add only that Mr. Comey's decision, after the famous 3½-hour holiday-weekend interview with Mrs. Clinton, makes you wonder if they would have recommended prosecution only if she had confessed to wrongdoing. Maybe they were expecting a Perry Mason moment where she breaks down under questioning. "Of course I knew having a private server was wrong! Of course I knew it meant Putin was reading my emails! I'll tell you something else, I was the man in the hat on the Grassy Knoll. I killed Mary Meyer on the C&O Canal and I'm proud of it!"
But that wouldn't happen in real life, would it?
It is legitimately asked whether this is a government of laws or a government of men—of failed, flawed human beings. Are the rich and powerful always assumed now to have the decisive finger on the scales of justice?
Anything that increases public cynicism in America is, at this point, a very particular and damaging sin. It spreads an air of social defeatism. It saps the civic will. It makes earnest and trusting people feel like dopes and dupes. It makes trusting parents look clueless to their children.
Cynicism is also a virus. Once everyone knows nothing is on the square, as they used to say, they too become more corrupt just to maintain their position.
Cynicism doesn't just make everything worse; it creates a new kind of bad. It kills, for instance, the idea of merit. You don't rise through talent and effort; you rise through lies, connections, silence, the rules of the gang. That gives the young an unearned bitterness. That is a terrible thing for adults to do, to deprive the young of the idealism that helps them rise cleanly and with point.

18 year old nun Tenzin Choedron passes away
[Monday, February 13, 2012 16:36]
DHARAMSHALA, February 13: Tenzin Choedron, the 18-year-old nun who self-immolated on February 11 in Ngaba, eastern Tibet passed away earlier today.
The Dharamshala based Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile in a release today said Tenzin Choedron passed away at a Chinese military hospital in Barkham area this morning.
"Tenzin Choedron's father has been told that her body will not be handed over to the family for the last rites," the release said.
Tenzin Choedron, a nun from the Mamae nunnery, the largest nunnery in the Ngaba region had set her body on fire at 6 pm on February 11 calling for the return of Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama from exile and freedom in Tibet.
According to eyewitnesses, Tenzin Choedron did not die on the spot and was immediately taken away by Chinese security personnel towards Barkham.
Following the self-immolation, Chinese armed forces had surrounded the Mamae Dechen Chokhorling nunnery and sealed it off.
In the release, the Tibetan Parliament reminded the Chinese leadership in Beijing that they were in a position to either listen to the genuine grievances of the Tibetan people or make the situation worse by carrying on with their repressive policies and violent military crackdown.
In a letter to the Chinese President Hu Jintao sent last month, the Tibetan lawmakers had called for an immediate stop to the "policies and programmes aimed at destroying the identity of the Tibetan people," while demanding a Tibetan fact finding delegation to be allowed to visit Tibet.
The Tibetan Parliament had warned that if the Chinese leadership failed to respond to the "legitimate concerns" of the Tibetan people in a "humane way," Beijing would be held responsible for "any adverse consequences."
Nun Tenzin Choedron's self-immolation came just days after another teenaged Tibetan youngster from Ngaba, Rigzin Dorje and a Tibetan monk Sonam Rabyang from Kyigudo torched their bodies protesting China's continued occupation of Tibet.
Since monk Tapey's self-immolation in 2009, 23 Tibetans have set their bodies of fire in Tibet, with ten of the self-immolations occurring this year alone.
Many parts of Tibet remain cut off from outside world with a prevailing situation of undeclared martial law following mass protests in recent weeks in which at least a dozen Tibetans are feared dead in police firings on unarmed protesters.
Attempts by international media agencies to enter Tibetan regions facing unrest have been foiled and media crew detained and threatened by Chinese security personnel.

It sort of gives the effect that I used a creamy polish that already had glitter in it. Jelly sandwiching with creamy jellies also tends to change the look of the glitter entirely. This glitter was very shiny and metallic, and the polish made it much lighter and less shiny.
I struggled to choose a "good" glitter to use for my sandwich. I had used a white jelly for my last jelly sandwich, so I wanted to use something different this time too. I ended up choosing a pinkish-nude jelly, and used pinkish glitter to match it.
I used Nailtini Frappe, which is a very sheer pinkish-nude jelly. It's almost like a polish you would use for a typical French manicure. I then used Essie A Cut Above for my glitter, which is pinkish almost rose gold glitter.
I used a lot of layers! I first used two layers of Frappe to get my base going. I then put my first layer of A Cut Above on. I added a third layer of Frappe, and then back to A Cut Above for a second layer of that. I topped it with just a bit more Frappe and also Seche Vite. So that's four layers of Frappe total, and two layers of A Cut Above. My layers aren't very thick though, and I also waited for them to dry in between.
I really love how this turned out! I know the colors might be getting old since I've been using lots of pinks this month, but I think it's a nice change from the usual white jelly sandwich. Now I want to try it with other colors as well!

When I was just starting out in fiction writing, I took a short story workshop at a venerable San Antonio writers cooperative. I wrote a story I thought was okay and brought it to class for critiquing. Most of my classmates liked it, and some liked it a lot. One man, though, sat through the discussion with a look of utter disdain. When things finally died down, he gave me his critique. He'd recently taken a workshop with a well-known writer, he said, and she'd told him that using adverbs was the mark of poor writing. He handed me back my MS, and sure enough he'd marked every single word ending in –ly and told me to delete them all. Now some of the words he'd marked were actually adjectives (leisurely, for example), but never mind. I'd heard that advice before. Get rid of all adverbs before you send your MS off to an editor.
Adverbs Bad!
Frankly, that's crap. It's also a great example of a half-remembered rule. What the well-known writer had probably told my critiquer was that it's usually better if you can find a strong verb rather than a weak verb plus adverb. She could also have said it's better to find a strong noun rather than a weak noun plus adjective. That's a good principle, but it's a long way from saying never use adverbs.
Overuse of adverbs is bad, but saying you can never use them, in effect eliminating an entire class of words from your vocabulary, is overkill. I understand why people embrace these ideas, though. It's a lot easier to say "Never use them" than to try to figure out what constitutes effective and ineffective use. But let's face it—sometimes that strong verb doesn't exist. Or sometimes you like the rhythm of the adverb in your voice. Or sometimes you just feel like using "said slowly" rather than "drawled" (and if you think about it, those two aren't exact synonyms).
In general, I'd suggest caution whenever somebody gives you a hard-and-fast dogmatic writing principle to live by, particularly if it involves style. I once worked for a magazine where the General Editor refused to consider the word dove as a past tense for dive (it was an underwater photography magazine, so this came up a lot). Now I could show her countless entries in usage guides indicating that dove was, in fact, perfectly acceptable. She didn't care—she knew the difference between right and wrong. She had her principles.
Personally, I've always loved what Groucho Marx once said: "I have my principles, and if you don't like them…I have others." In this case, the principle should be If it works, do it.

12/4/11 Master Po continue to grow old in not so graceful manner.
Today, Mrs. Po put very nice Christmas sweater on, and we attend church service together. Funny thing about attending church service with Mrs. Po – if I attend, always a miracle follows – we have no fight. But if I miss service, it seem God punish the hell out of me, and Mrs. Po can't control her anger and we have tiny, ever so slight arguments. This scenario never fail, so Master Po try to go to as many services as he can. If world leaders in Mid East attend service with Mrs. Po, there would be no more war in this world. Will suggest to the United Nations this idea tomorrow.
This day, attending church has bonus!!! Master Po get free ear piercing during service. No, not ear lobes, but ear drums.
First Master Po notice lead singer's voice is harsh on his aging ears. Singer is very, very good, but remember, his ears are very, very sensitive to loud sounds because sense of hearing is pathetic. He pretend that ear itches and places finger gently in good ear to stop sound. Too late, damage already done – and then bad ear suffer even more damage. To me, singer release decibels similar to fire alarm, but at frequency that dolphins would envy. I feel urge to howl like Labrador retriever when siren go off here in town. But I bite my lip, and control myself. I don't want to have church attendance back fire and have fight with Mrs. Po.
Later we take Master Po's father out to eat at his favorite Chinese restaurant, Main Moon in Honorable Richland. Master Po's dad even have worse time hearing than me, and he get mixed up now and then too. He 87 years old. He say, at top of his voice in Main Moon, "I hope the Mexican behind the counter isn't doing the stir fry today, because he makes it too spicy and hot." I have no trouble hearing this because he use very loud voice everywhere he go. And of course, there is no Mexican behind counter, only Chinese workers everywhere. I immediately think someday, if Master Po live long enough, he will be just like great grand pappy Po and ears will be totally useless.
Conclusion to deaf story - Mrs. Po say during meal, "I wonder how long this sweater will last." And I reply nicely, "It depends on how often you wear it." Mrs. Po look at me like I am from Neptune, and repeat even louder, " I said, I wonder how long this nice weather will last." My ears are already totally useless.

Another significant event in Artificial Intelligence research: an Artificial Intelligence program has beat the world champions in televisions general knowledge quiz show 'Jeopardy'.
Back in 1999, IBM's supercomputer 'Deep Blue' beat the reigning world chess champion Gary Kasparov.
Slowly but progressively, with 51 years and many man-hours of research effort, the results are not very impressive.
I agree with the comment that Stanford U. 'emeritus professor' Edward Feigenbaum said to me last year: "It is not that AI is so difficult that it can not be solved by humans, the problem is humans". The way research has been imposed on professors – you need to have a certain amount of publications a year to "measure" your production – has worked against going after the big problems, even when the solutions don't arrive immediately. We are "forced" to choose a research area where we can reach publication requirements. Sad but true. I wish we could choose research goals without results expectations and obligations, so we could break the status quo to reach quantum leaps. It would help human progression.
The following is a very interesting video showing a big advance in the artificial reproduction of the human body. Some AI researchers, as professor Marcus du Sautoy is telling us in this video, believe that the study of intelligence in the same shape of a human body will help us to understand more intelligence. I don't see the relevance in this thinking. We can provide the same intelligence to different body shapes. And we can also have intelligence without a body.
2 April 2012 by BBC News Technology
Is it possible to create true artificial intelligence and, if so, how close are we to doing so, asks mathematician Professor Marcus du Sautoy.
It was while I was making my last BBC TV series, The Code, that I bumped into a neuroscientist I knew.
"Have you heard the news about Watson?" he asked me.
I wasn't quite sure what he was referring to. A new release of Sherlock Holmes? I looked confused.
"Watson beat the world champions at Jeopardy last night," he added.
Jeopardy is an American television quiz show which tests general knowledge. But I could not understand why a professor of the brain was interested in it.
But then he revealed that Watson was not a person, but a computer…

Machu Picchu City Town
Aguas Calientes
It is located 15 Km to the west from Machu Picchu (20 minutes).
The most common way to get Machu Picchu is by train; the companies that provide this service are Peru Rail and Inca Rail. Also you can get there through the Inca Trail and from Machu Picchu go down to Machu Picchu town where you can find the mentioned services .
Machu Picchu town, formerly called Aguas Calientes due to the hot springs that are on the gorge from where the town can be seen, these hot springs receive hundreds of travelers every afternoon. Among these travelers the ones who just finished the Inca Trail journey can be found and want to recover from the long walking journeys. Originally, the town was just a long street that was along the rail road (Imperio de los Incas Avenue). Along the years the town grew up (in an disorganized way) covering a bigger area towards the gorge. Nowadays it has a main square (a small church and The City Hall are located here) it also has a crowded main street (Pachacutec Avenue) that goes to the hot springs located in the upper side of the gorge.
For those travelers with enough time the nearby places to visit are:
Machu Picchu town Hot Springs.
Only 800 meters from the central part of the town you can find sulphurous hot springs at different temperatures degrees that come from the rocky soil.
The pools in this place have the basic infrastructure for being used as thermal baths. Their average temperature is between 38 degrees C (100.4F) and 46 degrees C (114.8F). Also, there are also lobbies, restrooms and a small snack bar.
Mandor waterfalls.
Near the waterfalls Gallito de las rocas (rock cocks) can be seen which is the National bird of Peru and are typical in the area. During their mating period they make loud exhibitions. These winged rites are performed by the males while the females watch the spectacle and then choose their mates. If you are lucky you can see this natural show with unique characteristics.
The thermal baths can be visited between 5:00am and 8:00pm
You can visit Mandor waterfalls all day long since a family lives in the entrance.
It is located 112km from Cusco city or 4 hours by train from Cusco.

I've also uploaded some doc text for review that explains how I understand pure properties (which hopefully highly correlates with how they actually work).

A database of 215,349 emergency calls made to the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) during 2010 and 2011 was obtained through a freedom of information (FOI) request from journalist Kathryn Torney of the investigative news website The Detail.
The database has been used to show how close the ambulance departments came to meeting their response time targets if they were applied at a postcode level.
The targets set by the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) was that from April 2011, an average of 72.5% Category A, that is the life-threatening calls, should be responded to in eight minutes and not less than 65% in any LCG area.
Taking the total emergency calls from the FOI The Detail found that an ambulance or rapid response vehicle (RRV) arrived within eight minutes for 71% of the total 88,865 Category A calls made in 2010/2011 and only 1% (439 calls) took longer than 30 minutes.
The Detail has published an interactive map which shows the Category A response times for each of the 80 postcode districts in Northern Ireland and the longest wait for an ambulance service response in each area.
The Detail goes on to consider the response times at the postcode level. Unsurprisingly they find rural areas have high response times.
The Detail uses it's analysis as further evidence of the serious pressures within the health system in Northern Ireland following the closure of a number of hospital accident and emergency units.

The @RamsNFL and @Saints have become the first @NFL teams with male cheerleaders. Dancer Jesse Hernandez will join the Saintsations while Napoleon Jinnies and Quinton Peron will join the LA Rams cheer squad. https://t.co/Hkvr9r4MCS pic.twitter.com/CE9LiLKfG4

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — Looks like the first males to enter the National Football League are also the first African-American males to do it as well, making double-history.
According to People Magazine, their names are Quinton Peron and Napolean Jinnies.
Reportedly, they're both classically trained dancers from California. The source says they survived a strict, high-intensity audition process. At the end of it, Peron and Jinnies made the 2018 squad for the Los Angeles Rams.
LA Rams' cheer captain, Emily Leibert, ran the audition and was incredibly impressed at the duos' performances. According to the source, she mentioned as follows.
"They really just fit the bill to be a Los Angeles Rams cheerleader. They are intelligent, they are eloquent, they are more than qualified to be ambassadors out in the community. They bring so much energy and there's something so magnetic about their performance, you really can't take your eyes off them."
While other football teams have male stunt teams, Peron and Jinnies will be the first men to dance alongside females on a professional NFL cheerleading team.

— HelloGiggles (@hellogiggles) August 7, 2018
According to Jinnies' Twitter profile, he mentioned the milestone back in March with the following tweet.
"Still can't belive [sic] I'm one of the first males in history to be a pro NFL cheerleader! Everyone's support and love has been insane! ? thank you and GO RAMS!"
This week has been a whirlwind! But it's still so surreal to me that I am one of the First Male cheerleaders to dance for a pro team ! ?? pic.twitter.com/PThiD6aScN

Interestingly, another NFL team is doing the same thing; however, this particular male cheerleader will be taking the place of another who was recently fired. Similar to the LA Rams, the New Orleans Saints have picked up Jesse Hernandez as Bailey Davis' replacement.
According to People, Davis was allegedly fired earlier this year for posting a picture to Instagram of herself wearing a lacy, one-piece outfit. Bailey, while filing a gender-discrimination claim, says the team required her all-female cheerleading squad to follow far stricter rules than the all-male football team.
The source quotes Davis as follows.
"I was aware of the rules when I joined the team, of course, and I knew they were very strict and we had to be very careful. But it wasn't until my termination that I realized the players didn't have the same rules. It was just us."
Reportedly, she filed her claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Within the document, according to People, Bailey notes that the team's rules for cheerleaders actually favor players.
Likewise, she says they place "unreasonable restrictions" on cheerleaders — including but not limited to: their social media presences, appearances, or public acts.
Furthermore regarding the complaint, Davis alleges there's team regulation that requires cheerleaders to make their social media accounts private. Too, they're strictly prohibited from following any Saints players online — actually, any players at all.
However, as reportedly notes Bailey, players aren't prohibited from interacting with team dancers. According to People, Sara Blackwell is Davis' lawyer in this matter, and she says:
"This was so blatant, and in writing, that these written rules were so gender-discriminatory. Another problem is it's presented as a way to protect the women. This is not 1910, this is 2018, and in America, we don't need our women to be hidden so they can be protected from consensual contact."
Adams and Reese LLP's Gregory Rouchell represents legal counsel for the Saints. And, according to People, Rouchell has a few words on the team's behalf.
"The New Orleans Saints is an equal opportunity employer, and it denies that Ms. Davis was discriminated against because she is female," Rouchell mentions to the source. "The Saints will defend these allegations in due course, and the Organization is confident that its policies and workplace rules will withstand legal scrutiny."
Nevertheless, we'd love to know your thoughts about this recent development as regards the NFL.
Is it football season yet? ???? pic.twitter.com/JcGY7h744J

It's true. Male pandas have such teensy winkies that many humans trained in the ways of sexing bears have mistaken boy pandas for girl pandas. Female pandas have a reproductive window so fleeting – just a day or two a year – that even if a male panda were to erect his little soldier, it would be unlikely to see any action. Based on these two observations, many people like to imagine that pandas are sexually inadequate, a species that would surely be extinct were it not for the supportive role played by humans. The truth about pandas and sex
Tian Tian, maybe definitely not
It is now virtually certain that Tian Tian, the female giant panda at Edinburgh Zoo, is no longer pregnant. Following artificial insemination in April, the zoo has been tracking Tian Tian's hormone levels. The one to watch is progesterone. At around the time of ovulation, there is a small rise, with levels remaining roughly constant for several months. At this stage, the embryo is fertilized but is not developing. Then, some 60 to 100 days later, progesterone levels jump again from around 250 ng to 2500 ng (per gram of faeces) and the embryo begins to divide. In a press
A black and white Christmas
"The pandas are coming!" announced Edinburgh Zoo's press office on Monday morning. The reason, I discovered, was not to proclaim the transfer of seminal fluid from male to female panda (cause for celebration as that might be), but because the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) finally has a date set for the long-awaited arrival of a pair of giant pandas. When the FedEx Panda Express touches down in Edinburgh on Sunday, Tian-Tian and Yang-Guang will be the first giant pandas to set foot in Britain for 17 years. I've thought a lot – probably too much – about giant

If you ever get the chance to sift through Max Nicholson's archive (which, I'll grant you, seems a little unlikely), it's something quite astounding. Throughout his long life, which spanned pretty much the entire 20th century, ornithologist, author and administrator Nicholson had a hand in organising or leading dozens of environmental initiatives and organizations, several of which sit right up there at the forefront of the modern conservation movement. When it came to organisation and leadership, Nicholson was quite simply second to none: he was instrumental in setting up the Oxford Bird Census in 1927 (which provided the foundation for
How have conservation brands evolved?
I have an opinion article in today's Nature that I'm quite pleased with. It's called "The art of conservation", which could make it the first time that a title I proposed at pitch has not mutated en route to publication. I have been thinking about conservation imagery for many years, making a brief survey of it in my first book Lonesome George and again in The Way of the Panda. With the Worldwide Fund for Nature's panda logo 50 years old in July (almost certainly 16 July if you want to be precise), it seemed a good moment to reflect

US Luger Has A Unique Way Of Warming Up
The 2012 London Summer Olympics had the women's swim team performing a dance routine to "Call Me Maybe" on the plane. But I think we just found the new Olympics video to top that one. Here we see a solo performance of US Luger, Kate Hansen, dancing her heart out. She typically dances to Beyonce, but since we can't hear in her headphones, the song "Pony" by Ginuwine was chosen for our entertainment.
It appears that luge isn't her only talent.
Now, her dancing isn't merely just to entertain the crowd, but it's actually a part of her warm-up routine. She recently broke her foot, and has broken her back in the past, but even these injuries have not stopped her from competing in the sport.
Kate told NBC News that dancing is "what I've been doing; that's been my routine, and it's been working so I think I'll keep it."
Well, if luge doesn't work out in the end, there's always "Dancing with the Stars."

I was so happy to find this recipe which was recently posted by Sam at My Carolina Kitchen so that I could make it for our football Sunday this past weekend. We enjoyed this wonderful, celebratory chili after we watched our Green Bay Packers make it to the Superbowl in a very close and exciting game! You can even see the Packer colors of 'green and gold' represented in this dish of chili ;) Thank you, Sam!
Please visit My Carolina Kitchen to view the original recipe and see how Sam garnished her chili! The only changes I made to the original recipe was to add an onion, use medium salsa instead of mild and add more chopped Chipotle chili in Adobo than called for because we like it spicy! I also simmered the chilli a little longer than the recipe stated just to get the flavors mingled a little more.
Absolutely delicious and so easy! My husband exclaimed "This is REALLY good! I hope you give it a try.
Spicy Turkey Chili
Adapted from My Carolina Kitchen who adapted it from Cooking Light 5 Ingredient Recipes in 15 Minutes
Printable Recipe
Serves 6
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 pound 93% ground turkey (I used Turkey Store brand which comes in a 20-ounce package)
1 large poblano pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 large onion, chopped
½ teaspoon chili powder
Kosher salt
1 16-ounce jar of salsa (I used medium heat salsa)
2 cups water
1 teaspoon chopped Chipotle in Adobo sauce
1 can of pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
Optional Garnishes: Shredded cheddar cheese, sliced jalapeno peppers, chopped avocado, chopped tomato, chopped red onion, chopped scallions including some of the light green tops, slices of lime, tortilla chips.
Heat the oil in a large, deep over medium-high heat (large enough not over over-crowd the turkey so it browns). Crumble turkey meat and add to pan with the chopped poblano pepper and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally until the turkey is browned. Sprinkle cooked turkey mixture with the chili powder and salt, stirring to distribute the spices.
Stir in the chopped Chipotle in Adobo sauce, drained & rinsed beans and salsa. Fill the salsa jar with water and add to the mixture. Cover and bring to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes to blend the flavors (that is what I did, although it isn't necessary). Using a potato masher, mash the beans lightly until chili is slightly thickened.
Ladle into bowls and garnish as desired.

USA/Germany, 2009
Seen: November 25, 2009 at AMC
Reason to see: Ninjas!
Ninja Assassin has achieved a feat extraordinarily rare these days. It is not only the exact movie you think it is going to be from trailer (yes, that's a good thing... I had trailers that misrepresent!), but it goes beyond that and has even more to it. Albeit not a lot, but enough that it kept my attention 100% of the time. I knew it would be a fun movie, but it's more than fun as it serves up a bloody good time and even has a little heart too. Sure, some of the plot seems a little ridiculous but doesn't even try to hide that which makes it all the more awesome. It's completely aware of what kind of film it is and doesn't pretend to be anything else. And, it's about ninjas! How can you not like a film about ninjas? Fun times.
In terms of performances, this is Rain's movie as he steals the show as the ninja Raizo and he certainly did a lot of preparation for the role including 8 month of training. That preparation paid off as he's in ridiculously good physical condition and is very convincing in the fight scenes. The martial arts and action sequences are a great combination of intensity, interesting sets and creative lighting. I've heard a fair amount of people complain that they appear too dark but I think it's just right as it adds and air of mystery, and darkness kind of fits in with the, y'know... whole ninja thing. Overall, the fighting was freaking kick butt, and as gory as the results ended up the chain with the knife weapon was amazing. This film totally delivers in action, intensity and lots and lots of blood.
Warnings: Blood, gore, and several pretty strenuous/violent scenes with kids
Shannon's Overall View:
I loved it
I'll buy it
I'd recommend it as a fun action/martial arts film - but be ready for the buckets of blood
19 minutes (!) of preshow including 3 commercials and 6 previews: Sherlock Holmes, The Book of Eli, The Wolfman (2010), Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Avatar and Shutter Island

By BERNIE BELLAN
The Hon. Jim Carr, Minister of Natural Resources and MP for Wpg. South Centre, was at Shaarey Zedek Synagogue on Friday morning, October 27, to announce a grant of $10,000 to the synagogue as part of the Federal Government's Communities at Risk: Security Infrastructure Program.
During his brief remarks, Minister Carr noted that he had his bar mitzvah at the synagogue some 53 years prior. "I can still recite the opening words to my maftir off by heart, he said."
Later, Minister Carr added that he is a member of Shaarey Zedek and attends services when he can. "As a young person, I was fully engaged in congregational activities."
The funding announced by Minister Carr will be used to improve outdoor lighting at the synagogue in both the front & back.
In a press release issued by the Government of Canada, it was noted that Budget 2017 committed additional funding of $5 million over five years in support of SIP.
The program helps communities enhance security infrastructure against hate-motivated crimes.
"When combined with existing funding, SIP will invest up to $10 million over the next five years. Each year, $2 million will be available to help support not-for-profit organizations make needed security improvements."
Also on hand at the announcement were Ian Staniloff, Executive Director of the synagogue, and Lorne Weiss, President.
I asked Weiss whether it is a result of heightened security precautions that the synagogue has been directing people to come in through the back door, rather than the front door, for major events such as the recently held inaugural StandWithUs event?
Weiss responded that "We feel we're much safer by limiting access to where there are cameras", such as exist at the back door, when it is possible to do so.

Tabloid Writer Roddy Boyd, SHAM Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation, A Stock Criminal Plunger In A Clogged Toilet
RODDY BOYD, a notorious tabloid writer and the only breathing animal behind an obscure SOUTHERN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING FOUNDATION, or SIRF, was caught pants down again abusing his "wife" LAURA BOYD in an open marriage and sexually assaulting his own daughter SAMANTHA BOYD, according to various sources.
SAMANTHA BOYD is a recent Auburn University graduate struggling on a measly paycheck at Bloomberg news in Washington DC, according to her own LinkedIn page.
Investigations revealed a lot more about Roddy Boyd than the world of yellow journalism has witnessed: Boyd is a 49 year old (DOB: 04/18/1968, Bronxville, NY) pervert sniffing around carrying a heavy beer-soaked belly popping like a woman nine months into her pregnancy. Barely surviving in the middle of nowhere in Wilmington, North Caroline (Address: 508 John S. Mosby Drive, Wilmington, NC), Roddy Boyd makes a deplorable living as a tabloid writer, spitting his guts out about sex, fraud, even venting his steam allegedly raping his own daughter Samantha Boyd while bashing America's public companies.
RODDY BOYD EXPOSED – Fraud 'Journalist' Trashes Companies, Bribed by Jon Carnes Crime Family
Finally, in early 2017, the law caught up with Roddy Boyd and he was caught, became officially registered as an offender.

Roddy Boyd, a sham outfit SIRF
Sources say Manhattan prosecutors and FBI agents have been circling a sham "non-profit" Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation (SIRF), as well as businesses and sham "donors" linked to the curious Boyd outfit. Business registration records in the State of North Carolina show Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation (SIRF) is a one-man shop owned and promoted by Roddy Boyd. Truth jumped out of Roddy Boyd's dark closet:
"Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation (SIRF) is a fake non-profit and a pyramid scheme to line Roddy Boyd's pockets. Boyd is the only owner, operator of the mouse trap with 100% of 'donations' coming from illegal stock short sellers in exchange for Boyd writing hit pieces on public companies. The money goes straight into Boyd's pockets."
Born out of wedlock, Roddy Boyd's 'humble' beginning
Peeping out of a crappy house located at 508 John S. Mosby Drive in Wilmington, North Carolina, Roddy Boyd's real name is Roderick Stewart Boyd.
Growing up in Greenwich, Connecticut, Roddy Boyd was the by-product of an opportunistic "intimate merger" – a pure accident between his short seller hedgie daddy Michael Boyd and a loose cleaning maid from El Salvador, according to various sources. Roddy Boyd was born out of wedlock, with a tested IQ of 50. Boyd's father Michael Boyd, a die-hard fan of singer Rod Stewart named the squirly kid Roderick Stewart Boyd, dreaming the dumbbell kid would at least have a future in the adult entertainment industry. It was a total disaster.
After getting caught shoplifting and his photo splashed all over the internet, Boyd wanted to change his name. "I don't want to be the damn singer Rob Stewart," said Roddy Boyd to his mate Laura Boyd. "I can't sing or dance. I am a short dude weighing more than 260 lbs and I am too heavy for that singing shit. Pass me that Miller Light, you fat bitch!"
Roddy Boyd, illegal short seller, a plunger in a clogged toilet
Over the years and miles away from New York's financial district, Roddy Boyd built a name for himself as the loudest mouth and the worst foul breath for illegal stock short sellers – as long as money is paid upfront for his takedown tabloid pieces. Illegal stock short sellers hire tabloid writers to bash companies and drive down their share prices in order to profit.
"Roddy Boyd is a plunger for the clogged toilet of shady, illegal short selling."
"I make a great living killing those public companies," said tabloid writer Roddy Boyd. "My mentor is Christopher Byron, that son of a bitch smoked too much and recently died. We were such a great team. We dumped the shit of those Nasdaq traded names. That cheap mother fucker Christopher Byron made loads of cash for himself."
Read more: TABLOID WRITER, FRAUDSTER RODDY BOYD IMPLICATED IN MULTIPLE FRAUDS
Essentially, fraudster Roddy Boyd and Christopher Byron get bribes from illegal stock short sellers in exchange for writing trashy stories on their target companies. A list of Roddy Boyd's "donors" to his sham "charity outfit" called Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation revealed a troubling collection of "who's who" in the murky short seller "hall of fame", including the notorious real Wolf of Wall Street, Jon Carnes, who was indicted by law enforcement in 2013 for bilking investors out of tens of millions of dollars.

SHAM Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation, Roddy Boyd in FBI Crossfire
Under FBI investigation
For several years, FBI agents in New York closely monitored Roddy Boyd, watching the unusually ties between Boyd's well-timed hit stories on public companies and the millions of dollars reaped by stock short sellers like the notorious San Francisco based Kingsford Capital, who had often sold shares short ahead of Roddy Boyd's well-timed hit pieces. Between insider trading, raping his daughter Samantha Boyd and taking broker bribery, Roddy Boyd was a busy man, according to sources. Sometime in between, Boyd had an open marriage among his wife Laura Boyd and daughter Samantha Boyd. They produced four kids.
"At least two of my kids were accidents," said Roddy Boyd. "Hey, don't blame me for my IQ. Blame Pfizer for the damn blue pills. They worked too well!"
Apart from his recent registration as an offender, Roddy Boyd is in a hell of a lot of trouble.
A lousy marriage to a chunky "woman" Laura Boyd at home and estranged kids have added stress to Boyd's otherwise quiet life in the woods. Notorious as the "dumper" for illegal stock sellers, who are basically contrarian animals spreading false rumors about America's companies, Boyd was paid well.
FBI investigators uncovered trading records belonging to Boyd's father Michael Boyd and other hedge funds associated with Herb Greenberg, another bribed loudspeaker for illegal short sellers. The list of Roddy Boyd's shame "donors" just goes on and on in a gallery of fraudsters on display:
Thomas McGuire, an FBI agent in New York led the investigations into Roddy Boyd and his illegal short selling activities.
"There is a thick file on Roddy Boyd at the FBI," said Mario Pisano, a Supervisory Special Agent at the FBI's New York field office. "Roddy Boyd is dirty shit."
In 2014, law enforcement in the U.S. and Canada indicted notorious stock short seller Jon Carnes, aka "Fatty Boy," a major Boyd client. Using a fake identity "Alfred Little," Jon Carnes bribed Roddy Boyd with tens of thousands of dollars to write false stories bashing several New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq listed companies. According to a story published in the front page of the Wall Street Journal, Jon Carnes and his lieutenant Kun Huang went to prison for two years for illegally manipulating share prices of several companies. Boyd was deeply embroiled in the Jon Carnes crime family stock frauds, according to the indictment:

Read more: STOCK SHORT SELLER JON CARNES CRIME FAMILY LANDED 2 YEARS IN PRISON, IMPLICATED BARRON'S WRITERS LESLIE NORTON, BILL ALPERT
"'Donors' to Roddy Boyd are not dumb folks who would just throw their money away. These are stock short sellers – slippery 'sharks' preying on America's economic demise. They sell stocks short, make money off the failure of America and the loss of American jobs."
They demand sizable returns from the large sums of money they brown bag Boyd as "charitable contributions."
"Short sellers want a loud-mouthed bitch who can spit out nonsense to drive down share prices. Roddy Boyd is the right whore for hire – only for the right price."
Roddy Boyd is in "hot demand" from everyone. Living with the 280 lb Laura Boyd isn't an easy task. Constant pressure from a needy woman demanding expensive things in life, plus a loose daughter Samantha Boyd whose free-spending habits at the fourth-tier Auburn University in Alabama have pushed Roddy over the edge of the law.
Fortunately, Roddy Boyd's sham money "donors" were quick to pick up the tabs to supplement the Boyd family income. There is a catch though, a big one: NO FREE LUNCH in the Roddy hen house.
"Roddy Boyd is a plunger for a clogged toilet. As long as the money is there, Roddy Boyd will suck your Dikk," said Dune Lawrence, Roddy's ex and a tabloid writer known as a racist internet troll. "Roddy is a dog with a low IQ. That son of a bitch barks a lot after taking those blue pills," various sources have confirmed.

As the Feds continued to circle around Roddy and his various shell businesses, the names of his paying clients and their stock trades have surfaced. Before Roddy Boyd rushes into hibernation and burn those receipts, readers be aware: The shady Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation is just about to close its doors. Another sham, another front for stock criminals will soon collapse, again…

Hi mate. I don't believe this article is fair. I know Roddy Boyd. He is a good bloke. His wife Laura Boyd is not 250 lbs either. She is about 260 lbs. But so what? Who wants to know who Roddy Boyd fucks with? Samatha Boyd, what's her story? She looks like a hot shit after some serious adobe photoshop.
I am shocked by this article. Roddy Boyd has always portrayed himself as a man of God. What a hypocrite.

This is a sick article. So good, so true. But I didn't' say Roddy Boyd would suck my dickk. I am a FEMALE! NOT a shemale.

Roddy Boyd is one of the dirtiest names in business. Everyone knows the guy gets paid to writer hit articles. Raping his daughter? Not surprised.
What a sick mother fucker. Is this Roddy boyd a man or a hog? How could he rape his own daughter Samantha boyd? What about his wife Laura Boyd? What the fuck is an oprn marriage?

Hey Chris you're now as evil as the illegal shorts.

Kaitlyn English, daughter of Martha Turner Properties' sales associate Arlene English, was the official ribbon cutter for the start of the 6th Annual Paint the Path Pink Fun Run/Walk at Mitchell Intermediate School in The Woodlands on Saturday, March 23. Martha Turner Properties was a sponsor for the event which benefitted the Avon Foundation Walk for Breast Cancer, a part of the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade.
Arlene, Kaitlyn and younger sister Nadia English joined The Passionately Pink Teachers and others who ran and walked to support Mitchell Intermediate friends and families impacted by breast cancer. Participants completed the five-mile course that tracked from Mitchell Intermediate through the Alden Bridge Loop and back to the school. "Paint the Path Pink is a terrific fundraiser for breast cancer awareness," said English. "Our goal this year was to raise $25,000 but it looks like we made more than $40,000. I'm really proud of everyone who turned out and all of our sponsors, especially Martha Turner Properties."

How To Be Organised
Posted by Bryony in Geography on September 12, 2018
I'm almost positive that I'm not the only person who has brilliant ideas on how to stay organised that go out the window before day 1 is even over. Whilst I was organised enough during first year to get all my assignments in on time and with pretty decent grades my second year is going […]

Oadby… I MISS YOU!
Posted by Bryony in Geography on July 15, 2018
Whilst I'm super excited to be living with a new group of people next year in our new uni house, I'm missing Oadby so so much. I was in John Foster Pavillions and I could not have asked for better accommodation… If I didn't have to I wouldn't have ever left! You might be […]

After a whole week being away at Sunny Spain, I have finally settled back into university life. It has been an adventurous and active week with a lot of scenery.

Revision Techniques

Two words: Exam season. As we adventure back into our normal university routine, the first couple of weeks are exams. Good luck everyone!

There is more to geography than colouring…there are flies!
Posted by Simran in Geography on December 13, 2016
Reflecting back to my first year, I can see the difference between first and second year in terms of modules and contact hours. One main difference is that second year counts to your final grade when you graduate whereas first year did not. As a second year geographer, people just assume that geography is about […]

What I have learnt from first year!
Posted by Simran in Geography on October 16, 2016
As many of you know, I'm a second year undergraduate who studies geography. Geography is an intense course because we have a large amount of reading we get assigned. For those non-geographers, yes we do read and not just colour in maps. As I entered second year, I reflected back on my first year to see how I can improve […]

First week back!
Posted by Simran in Geography on September 28, 2016
First week back at university and it's completely different from first year. One difference is that our lectures have already begun, unlike first year students. We don't have that chance to stay in bed in the morning after a fresher's event. Another difference is that we have to swipe our ID cards against the ID […]

Lauren McCroskey's Obsession
The interior designer shares the design element she can't get enough of
For interior designer Laura McCroskey, you'd be hard-pressed to find a design element she loves more than the modern daybed.
"They're stylish, fantastic, and comfortable," she says. "We try to use a daybed wherever it makes design sense, replacing your typical pair of chairs."
Though the concept is ancient, Madame Juliette Récamier, the 18th-century "darling of Europe," made famous the style that's immortalized in her portrait by Jacques–Louis David. Today's daybeds run the gamut from classic to ultra-contemporary.
"Use subtle patterns and neutral fabrics for such a big piece, and pair it with really fun pillows," McCroskey suggests. "Velvet works great on daybeds, traditional and modern, and can fit within any style. Daybeds definitely will set the tone in a room."
More practical than a bench and more versatile than a sofa, daybeds offer optimum comfort, won't block window views, and can accommodate seating on either side. A great addition to your main sofa in the living room or hearth room, it welcomes close conversation. Position one in the middle of an open concept to divide a room or curl up for some light reading or an afternoon cat nap. It's a good thing they're durable because kids also love them. Pets, too.
"They're more unique than a sofa," McCroskey says. "That's why I love them so much."
While settling into your vacation home this summer, look into updating it with a daybed. Throw a linen slipcover over one at the beach, or use it as additional sleeping quarters for guests at the lake.

Industrial shelving is the need of the hour for many companies who need to put their goods in place. It leads to following a proper system of storing the industrial goods in an orderly manner so that their retrieval (when needed) can also become easy.Today there are many types of industrial shelving to choose from. Wire shelving is normally used in the industries today. This type of shelving is modular, durable and flexible. Such a system is strong and study and it can be easily adjusted according to the changing needs. There is lesser dust buildup and the shelving is easy to clean and maintain.The normal wire shelving system consists of four steel poles that are around 7 to 8 feet apart. The shelves are usually between 18 and 30 inches deep and about 2 to 6 feet wide. There are four holes in the corner of the shelves to insert the poles. The plastic clips are then inserted to keep the poles connected. The shelves are then held with the help of circular grooves that are inserted on the poles. They are kept one inch away from each other so that the individual shelves can be easily moved up or down without taking apart any other unit. There are no special tools required to disassemble or assemble the shelves.
Today the wire shelving method is used in many types of industrial applications. This type of shelving is clean and dust resistant. It does not spoil easily even though the air around is damp. Many home owners have been using such shelving in their home as well. Wire shelving is perfect for environments where there could be a risk of fire. This is because the water of the sprinkler systems can easily pass through the holes instead of solid shelving where the sprinkler systems might not be effective as there is no space for the water to pass.Industrial shelves come in different weight limits such as 300 to 1,200 pounds. Hence you need to consider the weight of your goods before implanting the shelving. Most of the industrial shelving is rated per shelf capacity of distributed loads. However the definition of the capacity rating might vary form manufacturer to manufacturer. The company should confirm it before the shelving is used.
Industrial shelving isn't just for large warehouses. It is common to find roll-out shelving systems in a large variety of industries including aerospace, industrial manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, medical laboratories, packaged goods manufacturing, oil and gas production and the military. Driven by a need to increase operational efficiency and reduce costs through space savings, these industries and many more depend on industrial shelving systems. The aerospace industry relies on high quality industrial shelving systems to store large and heavy engine components. Specialized roll-out also play a key role in protecting important avionics because they can be customized to include additional protections for sensitive parts. Security is vital when dealing with aircraft parts so many airline suppliers use industrial that feature 12 gauge steel sides, back and doors and locking mechanisms for additional security.
Industrial manufacturing companies use industrial to maximize storage and security of materials. Industrial roll-out shelving racks provide ease of use and ergonomic access to all items on a shelf. Many companies choose customized units to maximize valuable plant space. Racks can be designed with load capacities up to 40,000 pounds per shelf for maximum flexibility. Companies also appreciate the automatic safety interlock feature installed on better systems which prevents more than one shelf from being rolled out simultaneously.In the automotive industry major automobile companies and part manufacturers use a multitude of shelving systems. Shelving systems are used for tool cribs, work cells, assembly lines and of course general storage. Businesses in this automotive industry customize shelf sizes and cradling in order to maximize storage space and more importantly speed of assembly. Whether operating an old plant or a new facility, custom are recommended to drive maximum manufacturing efficiency and employee safety.
Medical laboratories frequently utilize roll-out to enhance their operations. Many specify custom tops and shelf decks that are necessary to operate in the medical, disposable and implantable device markets. Surfaces designed for high heat, chemicals and clean room environments are available with custom roll-out shelving racks and cabinets. Roll-out shelving racks are perfect for quick and easy access to equipment and finished goods. The medical industry also utilizes lockable for security and control.Many packaged goods manufacturing companies find that industrial roll-out are excellent for equipment and tooling storage near production lines. Just like other industries, these manufacturing companies typically customize rack systems to maximize available space and minimize production change over time. Roll-out shelving cabinets come equipped with sides, a back, and lockable doors for equipment security.
The military uses roll-out shelving for storing and handling munitions as well as other equipment. Several branches specify systems with built in fork lift pockets so entire racks can quickly be relocated and even transported into theaters of operation. The military also uses for material handling and maintenance processes. Everyone from the Air Force to the Navy relies on industrial shelving solutions.In closing, you can easily see the popularity and necessity of industrial roll-out shelving for a myriad of industries. Increasing efficiency, driving cost reductions through space savings and improving employee ergonomics are critical in competing effectively in today's global economy and are made possible through industrial shelving systems. Many industries beyond the ones mentioned in this article depend on industrial roll-out shelving to improve their operational efficiency and thus maximize profits.

Aunt Annie's Recipe
Auntie Anne's Baking Kit
2 packages of Lil' Smokies (any variety or other brand)
1 stick of butter (optional)
Nonstick spray
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. While dough is rising open the Lil' Smokies and place them onto a paper towel to drain. Spray an area of the counter with nonstick spray and turn the risen dough out onto that portion of the counter. Do not spray or flour the area where you will roll and stretch the dough.
Cut strips of dough that measure 4 ½ " long by 1½" wide. Pull the dough strip to stretch it out. Start in the middle and move your hands outward while pulling, stretching, and rolling the dough strip. Roll each piece into a rope 27" long by 3/8" wide. Start at the end of the dough strip by placing one Lil' Smokie on the strip of dough. Wrap the dough once around the center of the Lil' Smokie and pull the dough free from the rest of the dough strip. Set the wrapped Lil' Smokie aside and repeat until the entire dough strip has been used, then start the process over with another strip of dough until all of the Lil' Smokies have been wrapped.
In a medium bowl, dissolve 1 baking soda packet in 4 cups of very hot water (150 degrees). Stir until nearly dissolved. Lightly coat baking tray with nonstick spray. Pick up each mini pretzel dog and quickly dip into the baking soda solution. Place the mini pretzel dog on a towel to drain off the excess solution, and then place on the tray. Bake one tray at a time on the center rack in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Baking times may vary; rotate halfway through baking. Melt 1 stick of butter (optional). After baking the mini pretzel dogs and before they cool, brush with melted butter over the top.
