American cinema in the past 50 or more years has always owed a huge debt to great American writers for the content they have helped create for the silver screen. One of those great American writers is John Steinbeck whom has previously embraced the silver screen in the past on four separate occasions thus far. All four Steinbeck novels such as The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, Viva Zapata! and East of Eden have already been made into successful feature films with iconic director Elia Kazan responsible for at least two of those films.
However it seems a fifth adaptation of a Steinbeck novel is already scheduled to add itself to such an impressive collection. Hollywood heartthrob James Franco was later confirmed by AMBI Pictures to direct and star in In Dubious Battle alongside a supporting cast which included a mixture of senior and emerging talent such as Robert Duvall, Ed Harris, Bryan Cranston, Vincent D'Onofrio, Zach Braff, Selena Gomez, Nat Wolff, Josh Hutcherson and Ashley Greene. The principle photography for In Dubious Battle began on March 19, 2015 in Atlanta and continued in Bostwick Georgia before finally commencing on April 2015. In Dubious Battle is currently in post production and is to announce its release date soon which will most likely be sometime next year.

The man with two blogs
The official press tour blog is up, with two entries so far: the traditional (and largely cut-and-pasted) introduction to press tour, and a slightly expanded account of the Sarah Silverman thing.

Huh. Well... yeah.
I can't decide if she's funny or just a jerk. Which may be part of the point, but my head hurts. - 11:48 PM, January 11, 2007
Alan, can you please ask someone at ABC what is going on with Daybreak!? I know the show's been cancelled, but not only have they not put the episodes online as promised, but they've pulled the episodes that used to be online.
Similarly, can you ask Fox why they LIED about Vanished? The final episodes provided no closure whatsoever. - 9:41 AM, January 12, 2007

- Thesis title: Characterization of rift processes in subaerial and subaqueous settings across the continental to oceanic rifting transition.
- Supervisors: Dr Richard Collier, Dr Emma Bramham, Dr Estelle Mortimer
My academic journey started from;
At (2013); I got a Bachelor degree in Marine Geology from the Faculty of Marine Sciences, King Abdulaziz University.
At ( 2013 - 2017 ); I worked at the GCS ( General Commission for Survey ) as Hydrographer. I had worked on several projects on the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf through data acquisition, processing, interpretation and archiving.
At ( 2017 ); I went back to academia life as a teaching assistant at Department fo Marine Geology, KAU.
At ( 2018 - 2019 ); I got the Academic English Study course at the University of Southampton.
At ( 2019 - 2020 ); I got a Master degree ( MSc. Oceanography ) at National Oceanographic Center, University of Southampton.
At ( 2021 ); Im currently a PhD student at School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds.
Overall, I am fascinated by the study of new aspects of the field, and look forward to researching and exploring the world to decode some of the geological mysteries that still surround us, while continuing to not only work hard with my studies but contribute to the university community. I believe that studying Marine Geology at a higher level will provide me with the best experience, which will satisfy my thirst for knowledge.
Research interests
My research interests involve active rift zones environments such as Corinth Rift and East African Rift system rift processes in subaerial and subaqueous settings across the continental to oceanic rifting transition; this zones considered a natural laboratory to understand the behaviour of continental rift sentiment in the past, present and future. However, Continental rifting and the geometries, scales and distribution of rift structures play a fundamental role in developing continental margins and their subsequent evolution to oceanic rifts. Active rift environments are also considered high geohazard regions. Understanding rift processes is therefore significant both academically and in terms of hazard prediction and mitigation.

State Arts Agencies Advancing Equity
As part of NASAA's work in supporting diversity, equity and inclusion among state arts agencies and at NASAA, our research team continues to analyze the location of grant awards and activities and to show who benefits from those awards. Expanding on NASAA's visualizing grant diversity data tools, the team has produced two new dynamic infographics on state arts agency grant making in relationship to measurements of race equity and economic equity.
The infographics show how state arts agency grantees serve populations of color and economically disadvantaged groups and provide county level demographics for further context. This information is useful in understanding how your state's visualizing-grant-diversity data compares with national benchmarks.
While state arts agencies deliver substantial funding to these populations, the data suggest room for growth in how to measure equitable grant-making practices and what actions to take to advance equity on multiple fronts.
If you have any questions about the infographics, or would like to discuss further analysis of your state's data, please contact Patricia Mullaney-Loss or Ryan Stubbs.

What a great time to be a part of #SFSmarties, a select group exploring the offerings found at Smart & Final Stores! March is National Frozen Food month. So, from 3/2 to 3/29, you can get $10 off your next shopping order if you spend $40 on select frozen foods at your local Smart & Final.
So what can you find in the frozen food section here? I drove to the San Mateo location and spent WAY too much time deciding. I was surprised at the vast selection. From afar the frozen area looked so small but the shelves were fully stocked and loaded. Since we had been ill, dinners have been the hardest to prepare. After coughing and sneezing all day, not much energy is left to stand over the oven/stove. We were going to go Italian or Mexican but went with the latter since I needed a lactose-free meal (for my daughter).
I ended up with Pollo Loco BBQ Chicken Burritos, Calavo Avacados, and El Monterey Beef Taquitos. There were several brands of taquitos so I had no problem finding one that had no milk/dairy in it. I planned to make a rockin' guacamole to dip the taquitos in but some of the avocados were not ripe. The whole point of buying them frozen was so that they would be ripe! I was really looking forward to it too. The bbq chicken burritos had a very strange collection of flavors so that one will not be on my list in the future. I really liked the taquitos though so I will be having them again, but this time with guacamole!
I rounded out our meal with a simple salad including lettuce, lactose-free cheese, and ranch dressing. Okay, ranch is totally dairy but this is plate was for me and I'm fine with lactose (hehe).
Since I did the shopping and cooking, it was really my fault the meal was not stellar. That, however, is not a deterrent for me to return to Smart & Final for more frozen items. I quite like getting warehouse-type prices without the over-the-top quantities. There was so much to choose from that I even picked up some lumpia for another meal. I'm anxious for my next trip to S & F!
Disclosure: Collective Bias compensated me for my time in preparing this post, which contains 100% my honest opinion.

Friends and supporters of Angela Young, a local woman who is participating in the Susan G. Komen 60 Miles in 3-Days walk in November, stopped by Boob-a-Palooza at the La Crescenta Woman's Club on Saturday, Sept. 17 to get a massage, have their photo taken or buy cooking items – all in the name of raising funds for Young and her team, "Hoofin it for Udders."
The fundraiser took place from 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and donors included Spa Pura and local Pampered Chef consultants, one of which was Young. Visitors also enjoyed a DJ, a raffle and a variety of food. All proceeds from the raffle, all tips from the massages and reflexology sessions, and 15% of the Pampered Chef sales benefitted the Komen for a Cure Foundation and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund.
Though fewer people showed up than was hoped, organizer and fellow Pampered Chef consultant Dawn Levine said those who stopped by were encouraging.
"Everybody was really supportive," said Levine. "Several [cancer] survivors stopped by which was actually nice. We made a sign that will be held up during the [November] walk signed with words of encouragement."
Levine added that though this year's turnout was lighter than expected, another fundraiser would probably be held next year.
Donations are still being accepted. Visit www.the3day.org/goto/hoofinitforudders2011, call (626) 716-2433 or email email@example.com

CARDIFF, Wales (AP) -- Chris Coleman says he chose to remain as Wales manager despite interest from Premier League side Hull because he's in a job that is "close to his heart."
The Football Association of Wales rejected an approach for Coleman from Hull this month, with the Welshman deciding to stay on rather than resigning.
Coleman, who guided Wales to the European Championship semifinals against the odds, said on Wednesday that "if someone comes and it's the Premier League, anybody, you kind of look at it sideways. Of course."
But, Coleman added, managing your country "comes around once, if you're lucky."
Coleman has made no secret of his desire to manage in club football in the future, but says "what I've got here is something very special and close to my heart."

We Need Volunteer Drivers To Get People To Urgent Medical Appointments
We'd love to hear from drivers with their own cars to volunteer to transport our service users to urgent medical appointments throughout the summer and beyond. Communicare needs help with the collection and return of isolated and often lonely residents to their homes when they have GP appointments and hospital outpatient clinics to attend.
Hannah Silver (pictured), who gives her time freely to the charity as a trustee and volunteer, says: "We're a friendly, neighbourhood charity that enriches the lives of lonely and isolated people in and around the city. Our service users are mainly elderly and have wellbeing issues.
"Our services are staffed by our committed, kind-hearted Communiteers, who volunteer to give their time freely. They act as good neighbours, generously making regular befriending telephone calls and doing shopping for those unable to leave home at the moment, as well as providing other practical and emotional support.
"As many of our existing volunteers are also aged over 70 and may be classed as vulnerable, we need now to find others who can help us with transporting people to their essential appointments."
Normally its services are linked to hosting face-to-face social events, such as regular lunches and tea parties for service users, but the charity, understandably, is unable to organise these currently due to the pandemic.
"While we don't require volunteers for these events, we still have lots of people who need help now getting to their appointments and we urgently need more volunteer drivers to provide just a little bit of time each week to help. We urgently need people who are available Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm to coincide with medical appointment times and those that have four-door cars too to allow for social distancing."
Communiteer drivers are offered simple and basic training on topics such as safeguarding and developing listening skills and can choose the level of commitment and involvement they wish to have. Following Government guidance, appropriate PPE is provided too.
Hannah continues: "Our service is free to users, although beneficiaries are invited to make a donation if they are able, and Communiteers are offered expenses."
Communicare is inviting people from all walks of life who have a current UK driving licence and their own car to get in touch.
"Drivers volunteer around an hour a week, depending on the individual's availability. Drivers don't need to sign up for a regular slot, just let us know when you are available to be asked and we will send you details of appointments you might be able to help with. So if you can spare a few hours, please do get in touch. It would mean such a lot to our service users who are unable to make their own way to these essential medical appointments.
"Anyone who volunteers for us now will have their application and our recruitment process fast tracked. With the Government's support, we're getting references and DBS checks done as quickly as we can, so volunteers can be operational as soon as possible.
"Those wishing to help with transport will go through our recruitment process as normal, with all the same policies applying. This will mean that we are confident about the safety of those we are trying to help."

The first post-lockdown flight has taken off from Brussels Airport today, marking a start to the official easing of measures on travel across Europe.
Destined for Rome, flight SN3175 took off ar 7:30 AM on an A320 aircraft, more commonly known by its nickname of 'Trident.'
7.30 am – 15 June 2020: there it goes! Flight SN3175 @FlyingBrussels direction Rome is taking to the skies. The first flight for leisure travel in months. Happy to see you travelling through #brusselsairport again ? Welcome back! #safetravel pic.twitter.com/gFfHNfJW1v
— Brussels Airport (@BrusselsAirport) June 15, 2020
In total, Brussels Airport has 60 flights planned for Monday. The airport will welcome over 4,000 passengers. This number will gradually increase day by day to reach some 14,000 passengers by 1 July.
The news comes in spite of fears that the resumption of flights could be impacted by the bankruptcy of Brussels Airport's ground handler Swissport a week before flights were set to resume after the lockdown. According to a statement from the airport on Friday, however, 90% of resumed flights will not experience any difficulties.

"90% of flights at Brussels Airport are covered. We are ready to restart from Monday," Nathalie Pierard, spokesperson for Brussels Airport, told The Brussels Times. "The two other main airlines, TUI and Ryanair, already work with Aviapartners, so there will not be any issues for their part," she added.
The airport is looking for a company to take over Swissport's activities. "We are in contact with more than ten candidates," said Brussels Airport CEO Arnaud Feist. "We hope to be able to choose a new baggage handler in the next few weeks."
"An important element of the selection will be the staff. It is very clear that we will be asking for priority to be given to Swissport staff," Feist specified.
As of Monday, Belgian residents can travel to several countries within Europe as they begin to reopen their borders after months of lockdown.
France, Italy, Liechtenstein, Poland or Switzerland are among some of the countries to which residents of Belgium are allowed to travel without any apparent restrictions or mandatory conditions, according to the ministry of foreign affairs.
In view of the pandemic, certain measures are in place at the airport. Each passenger's temperature is taken at the entrance to the terminal. By 11:00 AM, no one had been sent home with coronavirus symptoms yet, according to airport spokesperson Ihsane Chioua Lekhli. There were, however, several double checks.

US – China Trade War Could Slam Display Industry
In the latest round of an emerging trade conflict between the world's two largest economies, China initiated tariffs on specific US goods, in retaliation to the US imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum products from China. While these moves have not yet affected display products, the potential impact of a trade dispute could be a huge disruption in the display industry value chain and has caused the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) to mobilize its members to lobby the US government to try to avert a trade war.

Glyphosate is the active substance in the most frequently used herbicide both worldwide and in the EU. Many institutions had provided its expertise on glyphosate´s impact on health including the divergent findings of the European Food Safety Authority on one side and of the International Agency for Research on Cancer on the other.
On June 29, 2016 the European Commission decided to amend the Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 as regards the extension of the approval period of the active substance glyphosate. This extended the approval period of the chemical until six months from the date of receipt of the European Chemicals Agency's classification of glyphosate or until 31 December 2017, whichever is the earlier.
The ECHA´s Risk Assessment Committee concluded now that the available scientific evidence did not meet the criteria to classify glyphosate as a carcinogen, as a mutagen or as toxic for reproduction.
MEP Pavel Poc, Vice-Chair of the ENVI Committee of the European Parliament, the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences (EuChemS) and the European Chemistry Thematic Network Association (ECTN) have invited ECHA representatives and leading experts in the field to participate in a scientific evidence based debate on glyphosate's possible negative effect on human health, specifically in relevance to the biological molecular processes, metabolism, genotoxicity, endocrine disruptors, antimicrobial resistance, and other serious health related concerns.
This event took place on Wednesday, May 10, 2017 at 14:30-18:00 in the European Parliament room ASP 5E2.
The event was preceded by a paper co-written by Pavel Poc (MEP) and Pavel Drašar (ECTN President and EuChemS Executive Board Member) – Glyphosate in Recent Controversial Opinions.

Multiple linear regression analysis is predicated on several fundamental assumptions that ensure the validity and reliability of its results. Understanding and verifying these assumptions is crucial for accurate model interpretation and prediction.
Sample Size and Variable Types: The model requires at least two independent variables, which can be of nominal, ordinal, or interval/ratio scale. A general guideline for sample size is a minimum of 20 cases per independent variable.
First, linear regression needs the relationship between the independent and dependent variables to be linear. It is also important to check for outliers since linear regression is sensitive to outlier effects. The linearity assumption can best be tested with scatter plots, the following two examples depict two cases, where no and little linearity is present.
Option 1: User-friendly Software
Transform raw data to written interpreted APA results in seconds.
Option 2: Professional Statistician
Collaborate with a statistician to complete and understand your results.
Secondly, the linear regression analysis requires all variables to be multivariate normal. This assumption can best be checked with a histogram or a Q-Q-Plot. Normality can be checked with a goodness of fit test, e.g., the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. When the data is not normally distributed a non-linear transformation (e.g., log-transformation) might fix this issue.
Thirdly, linear regression assumes that there is little or no multicollinearity in the data. Multicollinearity occurs when the independent variables are too highly correlated with each other.
Multicollinearity may be tested with three central criteria:
1) Correlation matrix – when computing the matrix of Pearson's Bivariate Correlation among all independent variables the correlation coefficients need to be smaller than 1.
2) Tolerance – the tolerance measures the influence of one independent variable on all other independent variables; the tolerance is calculated with an initial linear regression analysis. Tolerance is defined as T = 1 – R² for these first step regression analysis. With T < 0.1 there might be multicollinearity in the data and with T < 0.01 there certainly is.
3) Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) – the variance inflation factor of the linear regression is defined as VIF = 1/T. With VIF > 5 there is an indication that multicollinearity may be present; with VIF > 10 there is certainly multicollinearity among the variables.
If multicollinearity is found in the data, centering the data (that is deducting the mean of the variable from each score) might help to solve the problem. However, the simplest way to address the problem is to remove independent variables with high VIF values.
Fourth, linear regression analysis requires that there is little or no autocorrelation in the data. Autocorrelation occurs when the residuals are not independent from each other. For instance, this typically occurs in stock prices, where the price is not independent from the previous price.
4) Condition Index – the condition index is calculated using a factor analysis on the independent variables. Values of 10-30 indicate a mediocre multicollinearity in the linear regression variables, values > 30 indicate strong multicollinearity.
If multicollinearity is found in the data centering the data, that is deducting the mean score might help to solve the problem. Other alternatives to tackle the problems is conducting a factor analysis and rotating the factors to insure independence of the factors in the linear regression analysis.
Fourthly, linear regression analysis requires that there is little or no autocorrelation in the data. Autocorrelation occurs when the residuals are not independent from each other. In other words when the value of y(x+1) is not independent from the value of y(x).
While a scatterplot allows you to check for autocorrelations, you can test the linear regression model for autocorrelation with the Durbin-Watson test. Durbin-Watson's d tests the null hypothesis that the residuals are not linearly auto-correlated. While d can assume values between 0 and 4, values around 2 indicate no autocorrelation. As a rule of thumb values of 1.5 < d < 2.5 show that there is no auto-correlation in the data. However, the Durbin-Watson test only analyses linear autocorrelation and only between direct neighbors, which are first order effects.
The last assumption of the linear regression analysis is homoscedasticity. The scatter plot is good way to check whether the data are homoscedastic (meaning the residuals are equal across the regression line). The following scatter plots show examples of data that are not homoscedastic (i.e., heteroscedastic):
The Goldfeld-Quandt Test can also be used to test for heteroscedasticity. The test splits the data into two groups and tests to see if the variances of the residuals are similar across the groups. If homoscedasticity is present, a non-linear correction might fix the problem.

It's almost Springtime. Teachers have to 'make it' another month before our week long Spring Break. Well, maybe just the real ones who are ok with admitting to needing, enjoying, and looking forward to time away from the schools/classrooms in which we work. I know I'm looking forward to it because sometimes, a weekend just isn't long enough to recharge.
Yes; I need time to recharge after spending many hours a week with other people's children. I need time to recuperate from my day job before I can meet the needs of my own children. I need a weekend where I don't spend hours working on lesson plans or searching Teachers Pay Teachers for engaging instructional materials created for my students' current academic (reading) levels.
An extended break is the only time I can get all of the above things on my Teacher Wishlist.
But extended breaks during this time of year provide an opportunity to consider something teachers don't often discuss openly: Do I want to do this next year? I have been asking myself this question a lot lately. So much about 'teaching' changed while I was away. Scratch that: Too much has changed; and not for the betterment of the profession. As I mentioned in other posts, I worked hard to get back into the classroom. Too many times I've said to myself "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Sure, change is both good and inevitable (so they say); however, our profession has undergone changes that do not directly benefit students. These changes require significantly more work from teachers, but not more time with which to do the work.
How did we, as a profession, get here? Now that I've been back for 2 years, do I stay and tough it out; or do I start working on a professional exit strategy?

Stacey Abrams' Sister Blocks Georgia Officials From Removing 4,000 Voters From Rolls Before Election
A federal judge on Monday ordered two Georgia counties to reverse a decision purging more than 4,000 voters from the rolls ahead of the Jan. 5 runoff elections.
The judge, Leslie Abrams Gardner, is the sister of former Dem candidate for governor in Georgia Stacy Abrams.
"I believe that each of the individuals named as a result of registering their name and change of address to a location outside of Muscogee County, removed to another state with the intention of making the new state their residence," a local voter named Ralph Russell who made the challenge said.
"Thus, each individual has lost their residence in Muscogee County, and consequently, each individual is ineligible to vote in Muscogee County."
From Politico:
Gardner's 11-page ruling released Monday night noted that the removals of the voters appeared to violate federal law because they were not given proper notice and because they qualify as the type of systematic voter roll cleaning that is not permitted within 90 days of a federal election.
The Muscogee board filed a motion earlier Monday arguing that Gardner must remove herself from the case based on her relationship with her sister, Abrams.
Lawyers for the board, described Abrams as "a Georgia politician and voting rights activist who was the Democratic candidate in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election and has since engaged in various highly publicized efforts to increase voter registration and turnout for the 2020 general election in Georgia."
The motion requesting Gardner's recusal noted that a voter registration group affiliated with Abrams, Fair Fight, filed a suit in another federal court in Georgia last week complaining that a national organization dedicated to targeting voter fraud, True the Vote, is making unjustified challenges to Georgia voters in the lead-up to the Jan. 5 runoffs.
"Abrams' involvement in the Fair Fight Litigation … is sufficient to satisfy the standard for mandatory judicial recusal," the board's attorneys wrote. "Abrams has a clear interest in the outcome of this proceeding and other similarly situated litigation in Georgia due to her voting advocacy through projects such as Fair Fight and the New Georgia Project."

Week Six Report Card
By Joe Grinwis
Miami-17 NY Jets-20
Quarterback: B
Pennington (17-29, 175 yards, 2 TDs)
A rough first half for Pennington but in the second half he turned it on. He hit his favorite target Laveranues Coles for two second half scores. Mistake free football once again from Chad after the debacle last weekend.
Running Back: B
Washington (11 carries, 58 yards)
Barlow (13 carries, 45 yards)
Barlow finally woke up and Washington continues to impress. Cedric Houston should be coming back in the next week or two and if Barlow plays like he did today the Jets have a pretty good trio back there. Hey, maybe even #28 will be on the field before the season is over.
Wide Receiver: C
Coles (5 receptions, 106 yards, 2 TDs)
Coles did a great job but where was everybody else?
Tight End: C
Baker (4 receptions, 39 yards)
Chris Baker is alive! They finally got him into the passing game this week, thank god.
Offensive Line: B+
They were pretty good against the run and pretty good against the pass…this line is finally starting to gel.
Defensive Line: F
Once again could not stop the run (130 yards on 28 carries) and put no pressure whatsoever on Joey Harrington. Dewayne Robertson needs to go.
Linebackers: B-
Hobson made a few nice plays, Vilma had a key stop on 3rd & Goal and Eric Barton was once again in on a lot of stops on Ronnie Brown.
Secondary: C-
Justin Miller is not a starting Cornerback in the NFL. Rhodes & Dyson played well but Miller brings this unit down big time. Really, the ENTIRE unit brings this grade down with their pitiful performance in the 4th quarter.
Special Teams: A-
Nugent was 2-2, Miller had a few good returns, Brad Smith made two nice tackles & Ben Graham punted the ball well aside from one punt. Good day for the unit.
Coaching: C+
The offensive game plan wasn't all that great early on but it improved as the game went on. There is not much you can do when the secondary couldn't cover a snail in the 4th quarter. Either way, Mangini & Co. need to get that defense to play four quarters, not three.
Favorite Draft Prospects at Every Position and Should Trade Down From 10 be a Priority?

Ask alt-rock fans which album they think of first when they think of Jane's Addiction, and the majority are likely to say 1990's Ritual de lo Habitual. However, the one most beloved by Jane hardliners is 1988's Nothing's Shocking, thanks to the fact that the California quartet's first studio album was way ahead of its time, very groundbreaking and, in many ways, completely freakin' unhinged.
In preparation for the band performing this landmark record in full at London's Brixton Academy on August 20th, here are ten fun facts about Nothing's Shocking that you may not know.
As with many classic albums, the band fucking hated each other while they were making it. The main culprit was frontman Perry Farrell and his demands for over 60% of Jane's publishing royalties, leaving his bandmates with only 12.5% each. As a result, the foursome almost broke up before the album was even recorded. In the end, after some intervention from management, Farrell got what he wanted.
When it was released, nine out of the 11 large American record retailers refused to stock Nothing's Shocking because, apparently, a sculpture of conjoined naked lady twins with their heads on fire actually was quite shocking at the time (so quaint, 1980s!) To get around the issue with the band's vision unchanged, the album was originally sold inside a brown paper bag.
Sadly, there was no way to keep the video for second single, Mountain Song, intact, thanks to the fact that it featured Perry Farrell and his then-girlfriend, Casey Niccoli, in states of full frontal nudity. MTV banned it in its original form (because of course they did), but Farrell remained unrepentant, telling Rolling Stone at the time "I'm not working for MTV."
Warner Bros. won a serious major-label bidding war for Jane's Addiction, by allowing the band total and complete creative freedom. "Do you wanna hear about the bidding wars?" Farrell asked an interviewer from BAM Magazine in 1988. "We had 'em all kissing our feet." The Warner contract was for seven albums – in the end, they only got two.
Rumours suggest that while Perry Farrell had issues with all of his bandmates during the recording of Nothing's Shocking, extra tensions bubbled up in L.A.'s Eldorado Studios, because he didn't approve of bassist Eric Avery's decision to embrace sobriety.
Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist, Flea, performs on Idiot's Rule, in the horn section (of all places), alongside Angelo Moore and Christopher Dowd of Fishbone. Flea reunited with Jane's Addiction in 1997 for the band's Relapse tour.
Fifth track, Ted, Just Admit It…, features samples of interviews with infamous serial killer, Ted Bundy. Farrell wrote it while tripping on acid and watching a documentary about murderers.
Despite all of the tensions and all of the artiness involved, Farrell did have a sense of humour about the band's image sometimes. Shortly after Nothing's Shocking was released, he told Reflex Magazine: "I just really want to see big hairy dudes trying to dress like me… That's really what – if you want to know, if you want to get to the bottom of all this and tell the public what it is we're trying to do – we're trying to get some big hairy dudes in girdles."
The process of recording Nothing's Shocking escalated drug use for Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro, to such a degree that at a show in New York two months after the album was released, Farrell smashed up Navarro's guitar and tried to feed it to the audience. It was Dave Navarro's only guitar at the time.
Nothing's Shocking isn't actually Perry Farrell's favourite Jane's Addiction album – he's stated in multiple different interviews that he feels the songs on Ritual de lo Habitual are stronger.
Jane's Addiction are featured in Classic Rock 201, available as digital or print editions from MyFavouriteMagazines.

Photos: Point Breeze protests after George Floyd's death
June 28, 2020
Protesters gathered on Saturday at Mellon Park, in Pittsburgh's Point Breeze neighborhood, to protest Pennsylvania Code Title 18, Section 508, which regulates use of force for law enforcement in the state. The protest was another in the Civil Saturdays series of protests, organized by Black, Young and Educated. After gathering at Mellon Park, protesters moved to shut down the intersection of Beechwood Boulevard and Fifth Avenue, where several organizers shared personal stories, gave speeches and led chants of, "Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! 508 has got to go!" and, "Defund the Police! Refund our People's Peace!"
There have been numerous protests in the City in recent weeks, as part of a nationwide movement to protest the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in late May at the hands of Minneapolis police. White police officer Derek Chauvin, who has since been charged with murder and manslaughter, knelt on Floyd's neck for eight minutes as Floyd said he couldn't breathe. There have been protests in Downtown, East Liberty, Oakland, South Side, and Bakery Square and the Hill District.

Why Is Northern Iraq Safe?
by Richard Miniter
SULAIMANIYA, Iraq–In Baghdad, it is not unusual to wake to the sound of mortars. (Car bombs go off in daylight, to maximize the body count.) Here in northern Iraq, a few dozen miles miles from the Iranian border, the sound that jerks you from sleep in the roar of a back-hoe.
Pull back the curtains in your sleepless hotel room and you can watch its long, bionic arm scoop out coffee-colored earth. It is digging another foundation for another new building, usually financed by a Kurdish ex-pat who made good in Europe or America. When international investors arrive here in large numbers, they will find plenty of local competition.
Iraqi Kurdistan is largely prosperous and peaceful. Like the dog that didn't bark in the Sherlock Holmes tale, the question is: Why?
The off-the-record answer from nearly everyone is: "No Arabs."
This is actually not quite true. The Kurds have been accepting some 7,000 Arab refugees a month from Central Iraq. Kurds have their own language, culture, history and literature, some of which they share with the Arab world. Their customary dress is markedly different from the Arabs as is the way they wear their turbans. Kurds can be either sunni or shia (or even Christian). The legendary fighter of the Crusaders, Salaldin, was a Kurd from what is now Northern Iraq. He led Arab armies. For centuries, Kurds fought under Arab generals and sometimes against them.
The more interesting and accurate answer is the effectiveness of the local Kurdish government, its police, intelligence and especially its Peshmerga forces.
The Kurdish government has existed, in one form or another, since 1991. For a number of years, it had a hard time getting its act together. (So did America's founders. Remember the Continental Congress and bitter expression "Not worth a continental?") But, now Northern Iraq is a functioning democracy. Political leaders have learned how to compromise and work together. People largely trust the police and report suspicious activity. Disputes are mostly settled in courts, not back alleys and so on.
But the peshmerga are a vital variable in the equation. Jabar Manda is deputy minister of the peshmerga, commanding some 100,000 uniformed men.
He begins the discussion with a history lesson.
The word "peshmerga" dates back to the 1940s. It is Kurdish for an armed
Kurd and was first used by Kurdish leader Ibrahim Ahmad. Now the word means simply soldier. The word has evolved with Kurdish reality, from guerilla defending an embattled ethnic minority to a soldier safeguarding a democracy.
Yet, in Iraq, even success stories are a work in progress.
"All the things we are doing with them, in terms of training, in terms of battle fighting, fit all of the standards as a soldier. The budget comes from the Iraqi government [in Baghdad]. From August 2006, we are in negotiations with the Iraqi government and the ministry of defense and with multinational forces to have a memorandum of understanding. In the Iraqi constitution, there is an article which says the Kurdish region has a regional guard. And the peshmerga will become the regional guards. We want to know the number of peshmerga, the structure of peshmerga, the duties and tasks, the leadership, how are they armed, how they [other military units] will be armed in other federal regions."
So the peshmerga are still evolving from a legal and constitutional point-of-view. For now, it is well funded by the central government and remains highly effective on the ground.
"We have an agreement with the Iraqi government, that all needs of the peshmerga will come from Iraqi defense ministry," he says. The ministry has a budget of $8 billion for equipping the Iraqi Army and other forces. $5 billion of that total comes from the United States. The rest comes from oil revenues, as former deputy secretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz predicted. "Still we have not reached a final agreement on this, but we anticipate we will get one billion from that budget."
Thousands of Iraqi Kurds serve in the Iraqi army, outside of northern Iraq. "When we talk about those in the south and middle of Iraq, they are not peshmerga, they are Kurds inside the Iraqi army. We have three brigades, one in Baghdad, the others in other cities, they are soldiers of Iraq, they are recruited by the Iraqi government."
He believes that a united, diversified Iraqi army is essential for strengthening the central state.
"Yes, they are Kurds, but they are recruited by the Iraqi military. The system of the military is just like in America; there is a contract for each soldier. During Saddam's regime, the soldier was compulsory, there was a draft. Now the system is finished. In the new system, you are contracted. Anyone in Iraq can sign an agreement for three years. The army includes Arabs, Kurds and Turkomen."
There is close coordination between the Iraqi Army and the peshmerga, he said.
Could Iraqi Kurdistan survive with no help from America and just its
100,000 peshmerga?
"We don't hope America will leave. We could protect Kurdistan. At that time, Kurdistan is a part of Iraq. According to the Iraqi constitution, it is a part of the whole Iraq, it is a matter of national leadership. We are not strong enough to do it."
He continues: "America is standing face to face with Iran inside Iraq. Iran has a huge military, we cannot say we can protect our area [alone]. Iran geographically is much bigger, if you compare it to the population, it is 10 or 20 times greater in population."
The peshmerga receive no direct American help, except for occasional exchange of intelligence. Just as often, the intelligence flows the other way.
The question that he cannot answer (because it is a political hot potato) is the one that is on everyone's mind here. Will the U.S. provide Iraqi Kurdistan a separate security guarantee, a treaty that pledges America to defend Iraq's most successful and democratic region should the Congress order a withdrawal of American forces?
It is an unspoken dream; a desire not to have everything the Kurds achieved in the past seventeen years taken away by Arab and Persian terrorists. Of course, the rest of Iraq has a similar dream. Yet they know that their future will decided thousands of miles away, in white Greco-Roman building on Capitol Hill.
I wonder what would happen if members of Congress left the green zone and came to Iraqi Kurdistan. Would it change their minds if they came to a part of Iraq where there are back-hoes, not bombs?

Il-GRTU titlob li jinhareg l-Avviz biex il-Hwienet jkunu jistghu jifthu fis-16,19 u l-21 ta' Marzu 2008
Dear Mr. Pizzuto,
Shops Opening on the 16th, 19th, 21st March 2008
As you are aware with General Elections falling on March 8 and the
aftermath ending March 12, consumers have delayed their pre-Easter
shopping to the last week prior to Easter.
12th March 2008

Permanent Secretary
Ministry for Competitiveness and Communications

Dear Mr. Pizzuto,
Shops Opening on the 16th, 19th, 21st March 2008
As you are aware with General Elections falling on March 8 and the aftermath ending March 12, consumers have delayed their pre-Easter shopping to the last week prior to Easter.
This in effect means that between Saturday 15th March and Saturday 22nd March there are only five effective shopping days during which all retail is permitted.
GRTU is therefore recommending that you issue notice that all shops and other retail establishments in all localities may open during normal shopping hours on Sunday 16th March 2008, on Wednesday 19th March 2008, and also on Friday 21st March 2008 (Sunday hours apply). This will apply also to Pharmacies in all districts.
Given the particular circumstances and with the last week prior to Easter Sunday having two public holidays the request is more than reasonable.
Yours sincerely,
Vincent V Farrugia
Director General

If you are getting married and looking for a Chatham ON Wedding Photographer, contact me today! I would love to chat about your plans!
Nikki & Kyle are good friends of ours, so when they asked if I would be interested in photographing their wedding I knew it was something I would regret missing. Their wedding day was the perfect balance of personal and modern. They love the outdoors, which you could see in all of the little details throughout the day – they did an awesome job planning the decor! They were married at Our Lady of Help Church in Wallaceburg and the reception took place at the Wilkesport Community Hall, which is always a great time! I had a blast with their wedding party and families (they kept me well hydrated with Bud Light and took care of me when I was stung by a bee!), and we couldn't have asked for more perfect weather! Thank you so much Nikki & Kyle! Can't wait to see what life has in store for you both.
Check out a few of my favourites from their big day!

This month, the Restoration Project Foundation Spotlight is on New Hope Leadership Academy (NHLA), a comprehensive academic and athletic mentoring organization dedicated to providing the quality education and essential life skills at-risk students need for success. Headquartered in Columbia, SC, and rapidly expanding to meet the needs of mentees in surrounding areas, New Hope is thriving under the leadership of Executive Director and Head Coach Demond Logan. "New Hope Leadership Academy is a great example of how effective RPF's unique approach of partnering with existing mentorship programs can really be for the communities they serve," said RPF CEO Craig Wooten, "and we are proud to support their great work in Columbia and beyond."
Coach Logan is a career educator with twenty-six years of experience, primarily in the field of special education where extra mentoring plays a huge role in student success. The more he worked with students who were struggling socially or getting in trouble in class, the more he recognized the need for a comprehensive mentoring program specifically built to address the needs of at-risk students, "My biggest focus has always been on making sure they understand life skills and survival skills so they can be successful now and when they get out of school," explained Coach Logan, "and that is how New Hope Leadership Academy came about."
NHLA originally began as an athletic mentoring program with an extra twist. "We knew that athletics would get more kids involved," explained Coach Logan, "and when getting them. involved with sports activities, we taught them that there were things they needed to do to be able to participate and play, including mentoring sessions every second and fourth Saturday and a community service program every month." This approach was a success, and NHLA has expanded to include Virtual School, Leadership Academy, and New Hope Collegiate. "We want to make sure our kids have the skills and tools to be successful," said Coach Logan, "so we focus on getting them involved, mentoring them in life and job skills, and giving them the opportunity to learn and experience a variety of new things that will benefit them now and in the future." Restoration Project Foundation partners with New Hope, providing guidance, financial assistance, and volunteers so Coach Logan and his team can focus directly on the important work of supporting students.
New Hope's core principles of mentoring, athletics, advisement, leadership, education, and scholarship provide the foundation for all of its programs. The organization's primary goal is to provide the personalized structure and support struggling students need to complete their
high school diplomas and gain acceptance to the higher education institution or career opportunity that is the best fit for them. New Hope has partnered with The South Carolina Preparatory Academy, is a free online classical public charter school serving students in middle and high school across South Carolina. This partnership allows NHLA to provide a combination of personalized virtual academics and daily mentoring that they have found is particularly effective in helping students achieve their diplomas. NHLA also welcomes athletes who may not need assistance in the classroom, but who benefit from the organization's focus on discipline, respect, and responsibility as they pursue athletics in high school and beyond. New Hope Collegiate is a two-year program for high school athletes who wish to continue playing sports while attending classes at Midland Technical College.
Exposure to new places, ideas, and opportunities is another core element of NHLA's mentoring approach. "You never know what you want to do until you see something different," said Coach Logan, "so we focus on traveling to different parts of the state for athletic events and college visits." This is the first chance most of NHLA's mentees have to spend time on a college campus, and the experience can be life-changing. "I took a young man, my track guy, to visit two colleges in Columbia known for their track programs," said Coach Logan. "He'd never been on a campus before, but after the visits, he knew that college is where he wanted to go and the work he would have to do to get there." Bringing kids together through athletics who have nothing in common and teaching them how to get along with each other, is another excellent way to provide exposure. "It is rough at first – you have to play together, work together, and travel together," said Coach Logan, "but by the middle of the year, they are all in contact with each other, communicating, and looking out for each other." Learning to navigate interpersonal relationships is vitally important, and Coach Logan focuses on lifting each other up. "We're going to be one, not look at anybody differently, and treat everybody the same. We want everybody to understand how to get along, work with each other, help each other, and understand that everybody lives a little differently from each other."
Word of New Hope's positive impacts on students and the community have spread, resulting in an increased demand for the services NHLA offers. In addition to expanding programming within Columbia, several satellite locations have recently opened to serve students in the rural areas surrounding the city. Run by former New Hope athletes who have returned to serve as mentors, these locations perfectly represent Coach Logan's desire to bring mentoring where it is needed. The most important component of this expansion is finding volunteers to serve as mentors. "The more places we are, the more activities we do, and the more volunteers we have, the more kids we can serve," said Coach Logan. "You don't have to come to everything, but anything you can do, please come and volunteer. We'd love to have you!"
Interested in supporting New Hope Leadership Academy? Volunteers are very welcome, particularly for athletics and community service events. Donations of recreational items, sporting equipment, water, Gatorade, and snacks are hugely helpful, as are donations provided to help underwrite all NHLA programs.

Wall paintings have become very common house decorations. They have become a significant part of interior design. The market is packed with a wide range of options suited for different people. For instance, beach canvas art is currently very popular as home décor. That being said, in this post, we look at canvas art.
What is canvas art?
Canvas art, also known as canvas print, is an image printed from an inkjet printer and onto a canvas. A canvas is a type of printing material. It can also be defined as a painting made on a canvas. After the image is printed or painted, the canvas is then stretched onto a frame. However, this is not mandatory because some people prefer to have frameless borders. When creating unframed canvas art, most people prefer to use the gallery-wrap method. This is where the canvas with the image is printed wrapped around stretcher bars and secured to a frame.
The canvas material
Canvas is a type of fabric created using hemp. However, modern types of canvas are made from a combination of cotton and linen instead. Regardless of the raw materials, the canvas is usually very strong and durable. The only difference between different types of canvas is usually the color and quality.
Types of canvas used to make wall art
Below are some of the most common types of canvas used to make wall art pieces or prints;
1. Cotton Duck
This is the most prevalent of all types of canvas. Its popularity can be attributed to the fact that it is the cheapest type on the market. Contrary to its name, this type of canvas is not sourced from the actual duck. The term duck is a dutch word for cloth; hence its application in this instance. Cotton duck canvases come in a wide range of weights and weave, depending on their manufacture. They are generally incredible products, and they soak in paint used in creating wall art pieces incredibly. The downside is that they tend to stretch over time.
2. Linen
Linen cavas is more costly than the cotton duck. Its high cost can be attributed to the fact that it is made from fibers sourced from the flax plant, making it one of the highest qualities. Its expensiveness is also contributed by the fact that it is not likely to stretch. For this reason, it is an excellent choice for large wall paintings.
It also performs well when it comes to heavy paint applications. Like its counterpart, it comes in a wide array of textures and weights. The textures range from smooth to very rough. Rough linen canvases are an excellent choice for the palette knife and abstract paintings since they require a lot of texture. On the other hand, smoother linen canvases are ideal for highly detailed works and portraits.
The market is packed with a wide range of canvas art pieces that you can use in any room in your house. Therefore, it is up to you to make the right choice depending on your taste and preferences. However, having some knowledge of types of canvases would come in handy during the selection process.
