He may not be officially retired, but linebacker Shea McClellin — a former first round draft pick who won Super Bowl LI with the Patriots — has returned to Idaho to serve on the coaching staff of Mountain View (Ida.) High.
As reported by the Idaho Statesman, McClellin will serve as the new linebackers coach for Mountain View.
"I don't like to pass up good opportunities, and it was a really good one," McClellin told the Statesman. … "I've always been drawn to coaching. I like to help people out. If I can teach them something I didn't know when I was their age, it can hopefully help them out. I'm excited to help them as players, but I also learned from (former Boise State coach Chris) Petersen that it's not all about football."
McClellin will be surrounded by familiar faces at Mountain View. The team's offensive and defensive line coach is fellow former Boise State defensive lineman Tyler Horn. And McClellin first found out about the job from Mountain View head coach Judd Benedick, who also attends McClellin's church.
All of this was put into motion when the Patriots waived McClellin in March after he spent the 2017 season on injured reserve following a series of concussions.
Now McClellin is feeling healthy … and content. And he's ready to give back.
"There's always a chance I could play again, but it makes it easier to take since I know it's medical reasons keeping me from it," he said.

Foreign Policy Journal wrote in an article that despite the United States spent more than $65 billion on training the Afghan units, yet they still cannot manage to contain their Taliban foes.
"We have been trying to teach sheep to fly," the Journal wrote describing the Afghan forces.
According to the reports by the US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan John Sopko, US officials are involved in Afghanistan's corruption.
Prior to this, senior Afghan officials and Afghan MPs have repeatedly reported that westerns countries particularly the United States were involved in corruption in Afghanistan.
Abdul Rahman Rahmani, a member of the Afghan parliament, said that international partners of Afghanistan claimed to bring security, peace, and stability and to fight terrorism which is a game for them.
He asserted that foreigners came to Afghanistan and they weren't honest about providing security, economic development and good governance. It was the Afghan nation who sacrificed and suffered from instability and chaos.
John Sopko, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan, said that systematic corruption undermines US mission in Afghanistan. The corruption was intensified with the spread of dissatisfaction with the Afghan government and creating a channel for supporting militancy.
He also considered the United States responsible for the corruption's spread in Afghanistan due to the injection of tens of billions of dollars into the Afghan economy, inadequate monitoring of contracts and cooperating with corrupt power brokers.

UCSF Study Finds Simplified Systems Intervention Improves Blood Pressure Control in Safety-Net Settings
By Vicky Stein
Nearly a third of American adults have high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, putting them at higher risk for heart attacks, strokes, and death. A recent estimate from the Centers for Disease Control reports that high blood pressure—and the many conditions associated with it—contributes to over 400,000 deaths and costs the nation more than $40 billion each year.
Patients can avoid poor health effects by lowering blood pressure with medication and diet, but more than half of all Americans with hypertension don't have the condition under control. A few integrated healthcare systems, such as Kaiser Permanente Northern California, have achieved control rates as high as 90 percent in their patients, but this approach has been considered out of reach for the many low-income and minority patients who rely on less well-resourced safety-net settings for care.
Now, a new study led by UC San Francisco researchers, partnering with clinical leaders in the San Francisco Department of Public Health, shows that a simplified intervention building on the hypertension treatment algorithm used in Kaiser Permanente's Preventing Heart Attacks and Strokes Every Day (PHASE) program can significantly improve rates of blood pressure control in the city's safety net clinics.

In one of the versions of Islam which I studied, what you did in life was done back to you one-thousand fold after death. So if you were nice, the afterlife was very nice, but if you were horrible, the afterlife was very horrible. I always hope that suicide bombers end up with that version of the afterlife rather than the 57 virgins or whatever.
Anyway, perhaps the Judge in this case thought that the best way to teach someone was to force them to live the pain which they had inflicted on others. Hope it works.

I thought Zeus was kind of interesting so I made this page to give you some information about him. I hope you enjoy my webpage. If you have any ideas, comments, questions, or anything else email me at my address down below. And thanks for taking time to visit my page.
Zeus was the son of Cronus and Rhea
and the chief god of the Greeks. His father, Cronus, was known to
eat his children. Zeus' mother, Rhea, knowing Cronus would eat his newborn
son sent Zeus to Crete and wrapped a stone for Cronus to eat instead. In
Crete Zeus was fed on the milk of the goat Amalthaea and reared by nymphs.
His supernatural gift was the ability to wield thunderbolts. When
he was mature enough he came back home and forced his father, Cronus, to
disgorge the five earlier children with the help of his grandmother Gaia.
Zeus is described as falling in love with one woman after another and resorting
to all kinds of tricks to hide his infidelity from his wife. Olympic
games were celebrated in his honor every fourth year. The Nemean
games held at Nemea were also dedicated to Zeus. Zeus has been with
many women, but his wife was his sister, Hera.

Disclaimer: Most, if not all of what I am about to write is based almost entirely on my opinion and observations on this topic. I advise that anyone reading this takes it with an ocean's worth of salt.
So, summer is long gone, and with it, festival season has followed, along with all the straw hats, dodgy shorts, and premature kidney failure. This post wasn't inspired by the changing of the seasons, but rather, the news that Virgin are no longer sponsoring V festival. I've never given a shit about this event (aside from being mystified by how consistently average the line up has been), and somehow, I care even less about its future. My apathy towards this particular situation didn't really surprise me, as I could think of at least seven thousand better things to do with a weekend – none of which involve going to a field to take obscene amounts of narcotics and dance like I'm fighting invisible demons. What did surprise me, however, was the realisation that I'm kind of over larger festivals on the whole, and am not sure if I was ever on board with them in the first place.
It would be easy to blame it on age (27 might as well be one foot in the grave compared to the average festival goer), but bitching about getting older doesn't stop it from happening – even if growing up means making compromises, and learning to hate fun. I believe there's a little more to it than that though, as some folks religiously attend certain festivals well into middle age and beyond, and while it would be easy to assume that they are going through some sort of mid-life crisis, I have respect for their vitality.
The main issue with big festivals, is that the line ups have become increasingly "safe", and in trying to please as many people as possible, they become unremarkable. When festivals were fairly new to me, part of the mystique was the idea of seeing five or six of my favourite bands in one day, getting shitfaced with my mates and passing out somewhere, then waking up the next day and doing it all over again. The "not give a fuck" attitude does still seem appealing, and while I can get behind the prospect of taking the opportunity to exist in a separate reality for a few days, it becomes difficult to ignore the negative aspects when the main attraction (i.e. the music) is totally mediocre.
This may sound like me being overly nostalgic, but for the past three years running, half of the main stage lineup from Reading and Leeds festivals have consisted of bands that were in their prime when I was a teenager. It's kind of hard not to feel like festivals have stagnated when a line up is almost identical to something from ten years ago.
While the bands are good in their own right, it's pretty big ask to fork out upwards of £200 to see one band that I love, after enduring three bands that I pretend to sing along to during a majority of their set.
To me, it seems that Download festival would be the one of the offenders for this. Sure, there have been some decent bands playing over the years, but seeing Iron Maiden headline for what seems like the seventh year in a row would make it easy to jump to the (inaccurate) conclusion that rock and metal are dying genres.
Of course, it would be impossible to talk about UK music festivals without mentioning Glastonbury, and I admit, it escapes the trap of having a mediocre lineup. Kind of. There's no denying that every year, the lineup is absolutely huge, and while I still think there have been some fairly bland choices for headliners (see a pattern forming here?), it's pretty unlikely that you would run out of things to do. I am not speaking from experience, however, as I have never been, and part of the reason for that is because of the tickets being released before the line up has been announced. While this is clearly an effective way of getting punters, I find it ridiculous that your enjoyment of Glastonbury is basically a gamble.
So all this probably makes me sound like a cynical asshole, and while that is a pretty fair assessment of who I am as a person, there's another article here that goes into more detail on exactly why UK festivals are in decline. It's worded far better than this post, but that's because whoever wrote it is getting paid by the financial times, and I'm not. As I said at the beginning of this, all of this is pretty much just my opinion, and not an in-depth analysis.
With all this said and done, I'm not going to say that I'll never go to another festival, and I don't begrudge anyone who plans to do so. There are smaller festivals that tend to cater more towards specific genres (ArcTanGent, Slam Dunk, and to an extent, Secret Garden Party), some of which are shorter, cheaper, and/or easier the get to. While the article above suggests that these are causing the festival scene to become over-saturated, I believe that this is the way forward, from a personal perspective, at least. The alternative would be to see bands at an actual venue, and for me, this trumps a festival in almost every way. Sure, it's a different atmosphere, but you get to enjoy a longer set, better sound quality, and the comfort of knowing that you probably won't get hit in the face with a pint of piss when that big chorus comes in.
P.S. -After posting this, I realised that the link to the article I mentioned doesn't work. If you really want to read it, type "UK music festivals in decline", into google, and that should be one of the first results. It's a pretty interesting read.

Addendum - "Prayer: Sharing in the Life of Jesus - The Proper Approach"
I am writing a follow up to a message I shared with my church family on January 8, 2017. You can view or listen to it by clicking here. I am writing to offer hope to the "hypocrite" & "pagan" praying style, done needlessly by many Christians, me included.
In Matthew 6:5-13 Jesus talks about three different people, how they pray and why they pray.
- Hypocrites: Pray in public because they want to be seen and praised by men.
- Pagans: Pray using many words and babble because they believe that's the only way they'll be heard.
- Christ Followers: Pray in private, to a Father who is unseen, who sees what is done in secret and will reward them.
Hence, Jesus instructs his followers to pray the Lord's prayer, which begins, "Our Father." This is the proper approach, the father heart of God and our adoption as His children.
As I've thought about this message I felt it important to follow up with a few thoughts.
1. If our approach to prayer is like the hypocrite or the pagan, then we are not without hope.
2. Hypocrite simply means pretender or actor. Jesus was calling those folks who love to pray in public for the praise of men, as actors or pretenders. Another way to say it is - they are not genuine followers of Christ. They are followers of themselves and to some degree, followers of others, as long as the others heap their praise upon them and their public praying. Hypocrites, inauthentic as they may be, they are not outside the grace of God. Jesus most referred to the Pharisees and religious leaders as hypocrites. They were pretenders and actors when it came to true righteousness and genuine relationship with God.
For example, in John 5:39, Jesus says, "You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!" And in Matthew 23:27, Jesus says, "What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs - beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people's bones and all sorts of impurity."
These are only two of many scathing statements Jesus made to the Pharisees and religious teachers. Perhaps, the most famous Pharisee is the Apostle Paul. This Pharisee became a devout follower of Jesus Christ. Listen to his own words in Acts 23:6, "Paul realized that some members of the high council were Sadducees and some were Pharisees, so he shouted, "Brothers, I am a Pharisee, as were my ancestors!" Also, in Philippians 3:5, "I am a pure-blooded citizen of Israel and a member of the tribe of Benjamin--a real Hebrew if there ever was one! I was a member of the Pharisees, who demand the strictest obedience to the Jewish law."
Like most of the Pharisees, if we are convicted of being hypocrites, we can become a genuine Christ follower and pray the way Jesus instructed. The need for the spotlight will be replaced with a hunger for encountering God in the secret place.
3. Pagan simply means, "Gentile" or someone who is outside the covenant of God. They are those who think they will be heard by God because they babble and use many words. When looked at more deeply, they use empty and anxious words. Neither you nor I, need to be pagans when it comes to prayer. Why? Because in Acts 10 we find an amazing encounter. To make the story short, a Gentile man named Cornelius has an encounter with an Angel and he tells him to send for Simon, called Peter, who is in Joppa. Cornelius sends a few men. While they were nearing the home of Simon the Tanner(where Peter was), Peter had a vision of a white sheet being lowered from Heaven, filled with unclean animals and he was told to rise and eat. He said no because they were unclean animals. The voice from Heaven says, "Do not call things unclean, that I call clean." Peter comes out of the vision and at the same time the men sent by Cornelius arrive at his house. Peter talks with them and goes with them to the home of Cornelius. Upon arrival, Peter enters the home and Cornelius asks him to share what's on his heart. Peter shares the gospel and while doing so, the Holy Spirit falls upon Cornelius and his household and they were saved (Acts 10:44, 11:14). After this encounter with Cornelius, Peter goes to Jerusalem where he is criticized by the circumcised believers. After sharing the story they said in Acts 11:18, "When the others heard this, they stopped objecting and began praising God. They said, "We can see that God has also given the Gentiles the privilege of repenting of their sins and receiving eternal life."
The reason I tell the story of Peter and Cornelius is because it was at that moment when the early church saw the grace of God fall upon those outside the covenant - Gentiles, aka pagans, as Jesus calls them in Matthew 6.
4. To Jewish Pharisees, aka "hypocrites" or to the non-Jewish Gentiles, aka "pagans", a way has been made for us to be genuine Christ followers, who no longer need the spotlight of public prayer or the use of many, babbling words. We can all, because of Christ, enter the "closet of prayer" and commune with God, being formed into the image of Christ and experience the graciousness of Christ demonstrated through our lives, for the glory of Christ and the advancement of the gospel.
Enter the secret place. Know Papa God hears you because He is a good Father and you are a much-loved child of God. Receive the reward he will give you.

Again i knew this would happen yesterdays post is today!
Yesterday afternoon has been in the diary for the past couple of months & I was so looking forward to it.
Lazy morning followed by a quick-lunch then off to Daisy Hill train station for the train to Manchester Victoria.
The weather in Manchester was not as warm & bright as it had been in Hindley Green but at least it wasn't wet!
First pub was Mother Mac's on Back Piccadilly, Michele's face was a picture :-0, what sort of pub have you brought me too was going through her mind. Mother Mac's is a typical back street pub. As Michele said it's full of old men. Rob & Sarah were late as they had to wait for a tram then they struggled to find it. They got there eventually & we had a reasonable pint of Boddingtons.
Second pub was a short walk away and it was Port Street Beer House (http://www.portstreetbeerhouse.co.uk/) we had two pints in here & the last one I had was the best it was Titanic Black Ice (http://www.titanicbrewery.co.uk/p/our-beers/titanic-occasional-specials/titanic-beer-blackice.html) great dark bitter. I think both Michele & Sarah liked this too.
The third pub was the Crown & Anchor only 20 meters away from Port Street Beer House it was not you'd expect from the outside but the inside was fresh, modern & spacious. Rob wasn't too sure about the placement of the pub & suggested that it would not have been out-of-place in the Gay Village. Nice pint of Timothy Tailors Landlord though.
Then it was time for some food & back off to Piccadilly, Michele took us off to Pizza Express & knew the menu off by heart, proves how often she goes with the girls from work.
Meanwhile the fouth pub was The Castle on Oldham Street. It was very crowded in The Castle as there was a band in the back room, but we managed OK. I had a great pint of Dizzy Blonde (http://www.robinsonsbrewery.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/11/category/22/) There were some characters in here & Rob was highly amused by a bloke eating a pickled egg!
Our fifth pub should have been The Marble Arch on Rochdale Road but i got mixed up & we wandered further up Oldham Street until Michele said no more as she was fearing for her life! so we turned around & went back in to Manchester. We ended up at the Unicorn for 1 last beer before the train & trams home.
We had to wait 45 minutes for a train home from Victoria so Michele had a hot chocolate & I had a quarter pounder from Mcdonalds.
Train journey home on the mad train that was rammed to bursting, was OK until some fools decided to sing Anti United & Munich songs & I had to say something in response. All ended peacefully though.
Great afternoon & evening will have to do it again soon.

The Choice
Starring Benjamin Walker, Teresa Palmer. Directed by Ross Katz. 111 minutes. Opens Friday at GTA theatres. PG
From novelist Nicholas Sparks, a.k.a. the Wizard of Weep, here's yet another underwhelming tale of endearing love beset by unchallenging adversity.
It starts with a voice-over by Travis Parker (Benjamin Walker) about the "secret of life" which, it turns out, is all about "decisions."
Then we see Travis racing through a hospital, about to find out ... not so fast, let's go back seven years to when he first met Gabby Holland (Teresa Palmer), who at first blush finds him obnoxious.
A prolonged courtship follows, despite Gabby's engagement to another man, and unsurprisingly, her feelings for Travis turn from disdain to desire. (Haven't we seen this somewhere before? Cue the eye roll.)
Director Ross Katz paints a rose-coloured landscape of sun-drenched North Carolina beaches, houses with picket fences and black and white children blissfully playing together. There's a lot of plinky, semi-sorrowful piano music.
What there isn't is much by way of dramatic tension or anything approaching the unexpected. Even a terrible car accident involving a principal character is achieved without a drop of blood.
Walker brings a nice lanky, southern drawly charm and appeal to the role of Travis although it's difficult to imagine what he sees in Gabby, who's brittle and snarky until she finally comes around to realizing that she loves him after all.
None of the secondary characters are particularly well-drawn, including Brit actor Tom Wilkinson as Travis's folksy (but alas, lonely) veterinarian father, Dr. Shep. Poor Tom Welling has the thankless job of playing Gabby's spurned fiancé, who at least gets to deck Travis at one point.
Those looking for safe, sugar-saturated romance with a minimum of unpleasant reality will find this film much to their liking. But given the choice, the rest of us will opt for something a little more real and challenging.

Around 8 years after the first Kindle came out in the market, this little device from Amazon has become the de-facto e-reader. Initially it had some competitors but Amazon, which has been ruthless in its ambition to dominate the e-book market, ensured that now in 2016 when people think of getting an e-book reader they think of Kindle and nothing else. It's the only option people have.
Now, there can be a debate on whether that is good or bad for consumers -- so far the Kindle story has been fairly good for those who like to read e-books -- but for now it is a fact that every man and woman who loves books, ought to have a kindle in his or her bag. And that brings up the question: which Kindle?
Right now Amazon sells 7 Kindles in the Indian market. But after a careful look at the line up, we think that only three are worth buying. Or rather are worth their price. Even if the other Kindles are great too, they are not a very wise purchase. So which three? Here you go.
Kindle (Wi-Fi)
Also read: Amazon Kindle review: The cheapest e-book reader worth buying
Kindle Paperwhite (Wi-Fi version)
Also read: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2015) review: Improved experience, same price
Kindle Oasis (3G version)
Though Amazon does try to sweeten the deal. The Oasis comes with great battery life and a very nice leather cover with additional battery inside it as part of the whole package. With other Kindles -- say for example Voyage -- a leather cover would cost Rs 4,000 more.
If you love books, you don't need the Oasis to enjoy them. You can very well have fun with books on Paperwhite and or even the basic Kindle. But Oasis offers that bit of extra "feel" and "premium finish" that many people would love if they don't mind the extra money involved here. Also, now that with the Oasis we are aiming for the absolute best Kindle experience, we suggest you get the 3G version. Yes, 3G on Kindle demands a bit of premium but when you are already spending around Rs 25,000, go whole way and add another Rs 2,000.
Also read: Kindle Oasis review: In a class of its own
Some additional notes
-- 3G on Kindle is overrated. Even while travelling you may not need it because in case you run out of books, you can quickly connect to airport or some cafe Wi-Fi and download couple of books in 5-10 minutes. It's nice convenience but premium not worth it, unless it's the Kindle Oasis we are talking about.
-- Kindle's have e-ink displays and the screen refreshes slowly compared to a LCD screen. When you see it, don't get alarmed. It's not lag, although the Kindle Voyage and Kindle Oasis are marginally faster. The "lag" you see is normal.
-- The Paperwhite version is worth only if you are going to do a lot of bedside reading in dim lights or in the dark.
-- It is usually difficult to sideload ebooks into Kindles. So you will have to buy e-books. Although if you are into free stuff, a lot of classics like The Picture Of Dorian Grey and Divine Comedy are available in free editions on Kindle.
-- To use Kindle, you will need an Amazon account.
-- All Kindles have 4GB internal storage. Less is available to users but storage is not an issue because even in 1GB you can store thousands of e-books. Additional all the books that you purchase or download from Amazon store are linked to your accounts and even if you delete them from a Kindle, they can be re-downloaded.
-- Kindle's can be termed tablets but they don't offer features like robust web browsing, multitasking, chatting, emails etc.

What works with youth? : an evaluation of the adventure development counselling programme.

Thesis DisciplineEducation

Degree NameDoctor of Philosophy
Within New Zealand and internationally the capacity to deliver effective treatment for adolescent mental health problems has been identified as a priority concern. This research sought to evaluate an established New Zealand adolescent counselling programme (Adventure Development Counselling), and to shed light on factors associated with successful treatment outcomes. A mixed-methods research design was adopted to meet the unique challenges of studying adolescent behaviour in a community-based clinical setting. The design included administration of standardised measures of mental health and other individual and contextual variables immediately prior to, after, and six months following, treatment. In addition, qualitative data (observations and interviews) were collected on a small group of clients as they progressed through an ADC programme. Results from a series of repeated-measures analyses of variance indicated that ADC clients (n=42) achieved significant improvement on multiple indices of mental health, improvements which were largely maintained six months after completion of the programme. Further analyses identified several client factors (severity of problem behaviour, number of previous interventions) and contextual factors (parent/caregiver involvement, community support) as being significantly associated with treatment outcome (programme completion and level of improvement in mental health). The qualitative enquiry revealed the importance in the early phases of counselling of a client's readiness to make changes, and a developmentally appropriate and acceptable client-counsellor relationship. However, once youth were committed to making changes in their lives, approaches such as wilderness therapy that were action-orientated, intensive, challenging, enjoyable and group-based were perceived as particularly helpful. This thesis has contributed to the pressing need for research that clarifies the real-world applicability of counselling interventions for youth. Further, it is among the first such study applicable to the New Zealand context, contributing to improved understanding of factors associated with successful treatment outcomes for this country's youth.

I wouldn't be suprised if you didn't even know that there was a Tokyo Motor Show, or that it really meant much to the world. Even if you actually payed attention to it like I did, you probably just thought to yourself "oh cool, look at that funky little car!" But this year at least actually meant something for the world, without you even realizing it. Here's a sumation:
- Crazy cars that only 10 people in the world could afford is always going to be the norm, regardless of a recession. (Lexus LF-A)
- Batteries and bundles of copper are the new iron. Remember Detroit Iron? Well, now it's Tokyo Lithium. (Lexus LS600h, Honda CR-Z, Honda EV-N, more…)
- Retro is coming back around. Remember the early 2000′s when the Thunderbird came back? The PT-Cruiser? Honda something I want to forget? Well, the Japanese are at it again, with better funky-retro-sheik this time around. (Daihatsu Basket, Honda EV-N)
- Expect more stretch. Two concepts at least showed a stretched design from companies that don't do stretched design, and one debuted the final rendition of a car, also stretched in look. (in order: Honda SkyDeck, Subaru Hybrid Tourer, Lexus LF-A)
For pics, well, I told you the cars. Now's your time to have fun with the internet.

8 Tips 'Veronica Mars' Gave Us On How To Become A Teen Private Investigator, Because It's Totally That Easy
"A teenaged private eye. Trust me. I know how dumb that sounds." But does it? Veronica Mars opens the aptly titled Veronica Mars movie with this line, but it's a premise that has captured the attention of sassy young ladies across the globe. Channeling your inner Nancy Drew and solving mysteries sounds like it could be really fun, if not exceptionally dangerous. But how DOES one go about it? Well, for that, we look to our flaxen haired former teen super sleuth.
Through the show's short run, and the accompanying movie, we see this formerly doe-eyed girl blossom into a neo-noir heroine. And, yes, she pursues that whole silly "lawyer" thing for a bit, but her heart is really into solving mysteries. Therefore, she's forever equipped with a camera, a myriad of wigs, and boundless one-liners. Veronica Mars is the girl you should look at if you're interested in getting into the mystery-solving biz. None of this Sherlock Holmes nonsense.
So, listen up, children. We've compiled some expert tips on how to channel Ms. Mars and become a top notch teen private eye. Pay close attention and you, too, will be solving mysteries and making out with Logan Echolls in no time.
1. Good sleuthing comes from a motivation to bring about justice
You're not in this for the sweet cash flow, let's be real. If you're going into the private eye business, it helps to be fueled by something... like your best friend's death. Nobody is saying your best friend has to die for you to become a private investigator; I'm just saying a thirst for justice is a plus.
2. Rules are meant to be broken... or at least bent
Obviously, you want to adhere to the really big laws like "no murdering" and what have you, but, generally, you may have to do some questionably legal things to crack a case. That fake ID is a TOTAL necessary item for solving a mystery. Totally...
3. Find extracurricular activities that mesh well with sleuthing
Photography — REAL photography, not the kind you do on your iPhone — and spying go really well together. And getting a gig on the school newspaper will grant you a press pass into some possibly important places.
4. Learn how to operate undercover... by keeping a fully stocked wardrobe
Don't go to a sorority house without a Lilly Pulitzer dress, and, if you're infiltrating a swanky house party, make sure to have a catering outfit at the ready.
5. Wield your wit as a weapon
When you're a tiny blonde girl, you may not be, let's say, physically intimidating to the creeps in your town. Having a sharp line at your disposable helps mitigate that problem.
6. Befriend unlikely allies
Wallace's job as an office aide — and later teacher — helped Veronica infiltrate the classified files, and take a peak at student records. Weevil may be tough on the outside, but he helps get Veronica into Neptune's soft (but shady) underbelly. And as for Mac? Let's just say it doesn't hurt to have a computer genius on your side.
7. Don't forget to legitimize your craft with fancy documents
You can't be a race car driver without a driver's license... I think. Likewise, getting a private eye license is a cool way to celebrate your 18th birthday, you know? Veronica got a 95 on her exam, which was ALMOST as good as her dad's score... almost.
8. Which brings us to our final tip: look to a mentor and learn from them
I got into writing because I was the daughter of two writers; that was the creative environment I was raised in. Veronica, likewise, got intrigued by solving mysteries because she spent time after school as the receptionist for her dad's P.I. agency. Even if your dad ISN'T a private eye, maybe you can take up an internship somewhere... like Veronica's internship with the F.B.I. That shouldn't be hard.

Runaway Ralph is the second in a children's novel trilogy written by Beverly Cleary, first published in 1970.
Plot summary[edit]
Fed up with his bratty family, Ralph the mouse hops onto his toy motorcycle and speeds down the road away from the Mountain View Inn toward Happy Acres Camp, where he encounters Sam, a nosy watchdog, and is captured by a boy named Garfield (or Garf) and kept as a pet. Separated from his motorcycle, Ralph must endure life in a cage with an annoying hamster named Chum. Over time, Ralph and Garf form a relationship similar to the one Ralph and Keith had in the original book in the series.
Ralph's adventures at Happy Acres Camp include escapades with an evil cat, the return of a missing watch, the escape from his cage, and being reunited with his beloved motorcycle. He eventually begins feeling homesick and strikes a bargain with Garf: return the motorcycle and bring him back to the Mountain View Inn, in exchange for clearing Garf's name (the rest of the children at Happy Acres Camp believe Garf was the one who took the missing watch). Eventually, the watch is returned, and Garf reassures Ralph that he will go back home the next day.
Film Adaptation[edit]
Churchill Films produced an adaptation of Runaway Ralph directed by Ron Underwood in 1988, starring Fred Savage as Garf. The film was distributed by Strand Home Video in 1991 and by Anchor Bay Entertainment in 1999.

THE council cabinet looks as if it'll decide on February to prohibit letting dogs off the lead in the majority of Rugby borough.
Oh, how they love to introduce still more pettifogging rules for them to enforce and for us to obey!
Meanwhile our shops shut down, our much-lauded library looks set to become a centre of excellence for aerobics, and the violence in the town inhibits all but the reckless or drunk venturing out after dark.
I have much enjoyed my dogs in the 30 years I've lived in Rugby and my dogs have, I'm sure, much enjoyed their doggy lives in the borough.
But just as it was once thought irresponsible to bring a child into the world when we were living in the shadow of the Bomb, I shall not introduce another dog if it has to live a pathetic life like a tethered sacrificial goat.
The dog question has been deliberately linked by the council to dog dirt, making a vote for dog freedom appear also a vote for dog dirt. Very cunning!

No funding for kids' charities?
It is a National discrace and a shame upon Britain that whilst billions are being squandered upon unwinnable wars that will not benefit the UK, no childrens' charities have ever recieved Govnerment funding.
The current tv and radio ads from the NSPCC highlights the fact that they have never even been given the dignity of a Royal Warrant.
'Childline' recieves some 15,000 calls every day, but are unable to respond to less than a third, due to lack of funds.
It is ironic that so much media coverage is given to the tens thousands of animal rights protestors, but never a mention of children's rights.
What kind of a Nation are we?

No such thing as a typical Aussie
I am fuming about a letter sent in by Yvonne Mcombes, reference vegetarians and her comments about them being normal.
It wasn't the content of the letter about vegetarians being normal people: she went on to state she was "married to a typical Australian"
What's this a typical Australian thing, I suppose to someone like Yvonne Mcombes its somebody on a soap like Home and away or Neighbours which I guarantee she watches.
I would like to remind her that as much the normal thing she wrote about, there is no such thing as a typical Australian.
I'm Australian , I am my own person with my own mind and would think different to all in some small way.

Pleased wine bar lost appeal
I am delighted that the appeal lodged in respect of a new wine bar in Earlsdon Street has been dismissed.
This has been another long, drawn out process but it is welcoming to note that a campaign by local residents, community groups and councillors has been listened to.
Perhaps people are starting to appreciate the impact another bar in the area would have on the lives of local residents.
This decision, coupled with the recent introduction of the taxi rank on Earlsdon Street that I had been trying to have implemented since my election in May 2008, has brought some common sense and normality back to what is a very popular, yet primarily residential, area. Coun. Allan Andrews

'Sick video' roles not accurate
FOLLOWING your front page story on Thursday January 29th 2009 – headlined 'Medics Filmed Sick Video During Op' – I would like to clarify a number of points.
We acknowledge that your story highlighted an incident of totally unacceptable behaviour by a very small number of our staff, which we took extremely seriously and which led to an investigation and disciplinary proceedings.
However, we are extremely disappointed that the article gave a completely wrong description of their roles within our Trust. As a result, it has quite unfairly brought into disrepute our medical staff, who were in no way involved.
The individuals concerned in this wholly inappropriate incident were Operating Department Practitioners. They are not 'doctors, nurses and skilled surgical specialists such as anaesthetists', as you described them in your article. Operating Department Practitioners, while playing an important role in the physical and psychological care of patients, provide skilled support to surgeons, anaesthetists and other medical practitioners.
Although we do not go into detail about incidents involving disciplinary procedures, we feel it is appropriate that we also tell you that, as a result of the evidence provided to us, we concluded that:
1. The incident, which occurred at the end of 2007, did not take place in an operating theatre.
2. No patients were involved in the film.
3. Patient safety and dignity was in no way compromised.
4. The incident did not take place whilst an operation was being carried out.
We took action to investigate and begin our disciplinary process as soon as the incident was brought to light in March 2008.
Richard Kennedy,
Medical Director, University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust.
Why silence?
It is interesting to witness how the Palestinian solidarity groups are responding to the reports of the torture of hundreds of Palestinian Fatah members by Hamas terrorists - or rather how they are NOT responding.
When groups are so outspoken when it comes to Israeli actions, and so deafeningly quiet and disinterested when Palestinians suffer at the hands of anyone else, one has to question the groups' agendas.
Are such groups primarily interested in defending the Palestinians or criticizing Israel? There is sadly a great difference between the two.

I never expected I'd find an online magazine that consistently holds my interest every day without fail, but Aeon Magazine has done that. This morning, I read today's article in bed, as usual. A piece on the mistresses of powerful men in China.
Unlike most of Aeon's articles, this one's a quick read. It doesn't back itself up with much research, relying on a handful of interviews with "mistresses," and briefly skims the surface on the current socioeconomic and gender conditions that contribute to the increasingly publicized cases of ernai.
I'm a sucker for slice of life stories, especially when they try to help foreigners (including myself here) understand China. But aside from this, I didn't feel like I learned anything from this article. There was barely anything about Chinese history or government or culture that added depth to the conversation. The author could've been talking about any country when he explains the roles of these women, the power/wealth imbalance, and their lifestyles.
And as for the lighthearted tone he takes at the end, while implying that this topic is losing its taboo and becoming prevalent among young women, every personal experience I've had proves otherwise. The Confucian teachings of honor and modesty and fidelity run deep in Chinese culture, and it is not ok to wave your ernai status around. As the article implies, slut shaming is huge. These aren't geisha. And I didn't appreciate the implication that these mistresses seem to be taking over major cities in droves, airing their dirty laundry, or that having mistresses is suddenly a novel trend.
So since it was barely informative about Chinese culture, the male/female dynamics in this article stood out to me most. They were the parts I couldn't shake all day. The things that I think all women experience to some degree on a regular basis.
– First, the article is written by a man. An upstanding man who's probably more familiar with China than me, but still. With so many sex work related documentaries and articles created by men, it's hard not to see it as another form of exploitation of these women.
– "A study by the Crisis Management Centre at Renmin University in Beijing, published this January, showed that 95 per cent of corrupt officials had illicit affairs, usually paid for, and 60 per cent of them had kept a mistress." I hate vague stats like this. What time period are we talking about? Who's considered a "corrupt official"? How do you conduct such a study?
– "An enormous amount of off-book money sloshes around Chinese business and officialdom, and some of it runs into handbags." The article constantly focuses on the material items these girls receive. The author makes no attempt at distinguishing them from one another, and their sole interest and gain seems to be in looking stylish. It just shows that he didn't or couldn't get to know them past the point of their physical appearance.
– "Shanshan got bored and decided to improve her scant English by finding a 'language-exchange partner' online, which is how she and I became friends this spring." Ha! Ha.
– "In their private pictures, the girls look all of 14, while the men play alongside them in childish games or make faces at the camera." I spend a lot of time thinking about how much better it'd be if each of these men went home and hung out with their actual kids.
– "it's true that Chinese culture has rarely paid even lip service to ideas of male fidelity." No, they've paid more lip service than any other culture I know.
– "True, they live off dirty money: the cash conjured up by their lovers is frequently drained from the public treasury, or extorted in bribes from others. But so do hotels, luxury goods stores, estate agents, and the millions of others in China and the West happy to profit from the consumption habits of China's elite." We're talking about selling a body versus selling a house, not about where the money's from. Did this guy forget his thesis?
Am I sensitive to the topic, or were these huge weaknesses of this article?

Why Is Allah The Only One Who Deserves to Be Worshipped?
So, why is Allah The Only One Who deserves to be worshiped? Because Allah is The Only Creator and there is no Creator but Him. He is The All-Strong and Almighty and no one is stronger than Him. He is The Conqueror and everyone submits to Him. He is The King and we are slaves to Him. He provides and sustains for the entire creation and we all are in need of Him. To be Allah, He has to be The Self Sufficient (Al-Ghaniyy) as He does not need any of His creation.
قال الله تعالى: {رب السماوات و الأرض و ما بينهما فاعبده و اصطبر لعبادته، هل تعلم له سميا}
Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, so worship Him (Alone) and be constant and patient in His worship. Do you know of any who is similar to Him? (of course none is similar or co-equal or comparable to Him, and He has none as partner with Him.)
Surah Maryam [19: 65]
The word "Al-Uluhiyyah" in Arabic has a beautiful meaning. It means to do acts of worship to Allah lovingly seeking His closeness and His pleasure. Worship is based on love, hope, fear, and our love to Allah should precede our hope and fear.
Allah deserves to be worshiped lovingly due to His beautiful and perfect attributes and acts. To understand this, try to ponder and think about the attributes you wish that "Allah" (The One Who controls all your affairs, The One Who will recompense you) will be described with.
Imagine you don't yet know about Allah and you are told that you are created to worship Allah, what will you say you wish his attributes to be?
I would say I wish Allah is merciful and forgiving, otherwise I will be punished for every wrong deed I do (and who could tolerate this in reality?). I wish Allah to hear me and hear my needs and to be capable of providing for me. I wish Allah to be just and appreciative. I wish Allah to be strong and mighty in order to protect me from my enemies. I wish Allah to be of vast wisdom and knowledge.
Now all the beautiful and perfect attributes you can think of and wish to find in Allah, you will find it and much much more, even beyond what your mind can comprehend.

Photo Credit: Getty Images / Elsa By Al Iannazzone firstname.lastname@example.com @Al_Iannazzone June 21, 2016 3:19 PM Print Share fbShare Tweet Email Arron Afflalo and Derrick Williams have informed the Knicks that they are opting out of their contracts, a league source said. Afflalo was set to make $8 million next season and Williams $4.6 million. These moves, which were expected, should open roughly $13 million more to use when free agency begins July 1. The Knicks could have around $35 million to spend on free agents, but that depends on other transactions. Their needs in free agency are both backcourt positions. There's still a chance that Williams could return. He would fit well in new coach Jeff Hornacek's up-tempo system. Williams, the No. 2 pick in the 2011 draft, averaged 9.3 points in 80 games last season. Afflalo, whom the Knicks signed last year to be their starting shooting guard, ended the season as a reserve and wasn't happy with his role. He averaged 12.8 points.

Not everything I read is a good fit for the HFR, for various reasons … sometimes it's not technically horror, sometimes it's a novella or short, sometimes the HFR has already covered a book by the time I get to it. When that happens, I still want the world to know what I think because I'm megalomaniacal that way, so, I bring them here!
Up this week: On the Bricks by Penni Jones, and The Head by Brian Barr!
Title: On the Bricks
Author: Penni Jones
Publisher: Pandamoon Publishing
Website: http://www.pandamoonpublishing.com
I don't know if "gritty chick-lit" is a thing, or if this would be it if it was, but if it isn't it should be, and that's the phrase my mind kept wanting to call it. Because it certainly isn't your usual yuppie or sassy sex in the city gets her groove back kind of thing … the main character here just finished a ten-stretch for murder, and moves in with her struggling rehab sister who runs a halfway house for juvies, prosties, druggies, and abused women.
But, by similar token, neither is it the hurr-hurr women's prison cell block hot mamas 70s-style 'sploitation all for the titillation of the guys. Having still not seen that OitnB show, I can't say for comparison there, but if the show is tonewise like this book, I should bump it up on my list.
Anyway! Our protagonist, Cass, finally gets parole after serving her time for the murder of her then-boyfriend's ex-wife. A murder she didn't commit, but somehow got swept along into taking the fall for. All of a sudden, she's leaving her cellmate (best friend and more), going back to the real world. Back to a small part of the real world, where plenty of people know her and remember. Not far from where her now-remarried former boyfriend, and the kids Cass had hoped to adopt, still live.
The smart thing to do would be to keep her head down, let the past go, and get on with her life. But it seems fate, with a cruel sense of humor, keeps throwing twists and obstacles in the way. The biggie is that her father left her a big chunk of money, on the condition she prove her innocence.
Gee, thanks Dad. She could really use that inheritance, not least of all to help save the halfway house from foreclosure. How's she supposed to prove her innocence NOW, when she couldn't a decade ago? When the people with information are far from inclined to help? When some, in fact, are inclined to stop her nosing around by whatever methods necessary?
Meanwhile, there's her libido to consider, a problem further impacted by a hunky parole officer and some chance run-ins with her old flame. And there's her struggles getting along on the outside, where prison social skills don't go over so well … there's added responsibility when her sister backslides into bad habits …
Most of all, what this book really does well is depict just how damn complex, complicated, mercurial, contradictory, and convoluted relationships between women can be. How love and hate, contempt and admiration, being willing to go to the mat for someone while also wanting to claw her eyes out, how all these can exist simultaneously.
It's a solid good read, gripping, well-written, believable even in its moments of incredible frustration (when other characters know stuff, and Cass KNOWS they know stuff, and can't just grab them and shake until truth-words fall out). Thumbs up, would certainly read more from this author!
Title: The Head
Author: Brian Barr
Website: https://www.amazon.com/Brian-Barr/e/B010Y0MEJU
This one's a short story all out in the big world on its own, the whimsical adventure of a lady who finds a severed head in the yard … wait, what? Yes, that. A severed head, but it gets weirder. The head is alive, the head can talk, the head belongs to a very nice seeming guy named Bill.
In a sense, it's a fairy tale; there are elements here of The Frog Prince and of Bluebeard, but through a warped kaleidoscope lens. Whimsical adventure, yes. Love story, even, because once Elizabeth takes Bill's head home and they chat and talk, well, hey, romance can happen in unconventional ways.
The thing is, though, Bill would rather have their romance happen in somewhat more conventional ways, ways involving the rest of his actual body. That's where the adventure comes in, the classic fairy tale quest. It may not be a looming castle in the dark wood, it may be a rundown old house at the end of a dirt road, but the effect is much the same.
And, like many fairy tales used to be back in the good old days, that happily-ever-after doesn't always work out so well for all concerned.
My only problem was a minor matter of copy-edit type nits, homonyms and such that slipped through. But, all in all, an entertaining and fun messed-up little bedtime story!
And don't forget, you can always find more of what I think over at The Horror Fiction Review!

University of Cambridge
Sidgwick Avenue
United Kingdom
Dr Liana Giannakopoulou has taught Modern Greek and Comparative Literature at King's College London and is currently teaching Modern Greek Literature in the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages of the University of Cambridge. Her work so far has culminated in two books: The Power of Pygmalion. Ancient Greek Sculpture in Modern Greek Poetry (Peter Lang 2007) explores how poets shape their artistic identity in relation to Ancient Greek sculpture. Her discussion unfolds in a comparative context including German Romanticism, the work of Rodin, Victorian reception of Greek antiquity, the ruin motif, the sensual and sexual dimension of sculpture, and issues of national identity and tradition. In The Parthenon in Poetry. An Anthology (in Greek, published by the Hellenic Historical and Literary Archive in 2009) she has conducted extensive research on the presence of this monument in poetry from antiquity to today. Her most recent publication is on the influence of Pindar's Odes and the relevance of Pindar's reception in the work of the Greek Surrealist Nikos Engonopoulos. She is also co-editing a selection of papers presented at the international conference held in Cambridge: 'From Kornaros to Kazantzakis: Language, Culture, Society and History in Crete'.
