John Wayne Cleaver is not like other teenage boys, he is a diagnosed sociopath. John assists as his mother's funeral business and has a fascination with death. He doesn't feel any emotion towards anything or anyone. When a string of brutal murders begin happening in the small town that he is from, John starts to suspect that it may be his elderly neighbour who is the serial killer committing the murders. As he begins to spy on him, he soon realises that it may be something much darker.
I Am Not A Serial Killer is based on the novel of the same name. I hadn't actually had the pleasure of reading the story before going into this movie. I have, however, heard a few really positive things about the novel from some of the followers over on Twitter that have told me that the book is fantastic. With my review of the film adaptation, I won't be making any comparisons to the novel as I haven't had a chance to read the source material. Please let me know in the comments if you've seen and read both.
When I went into I Am Not A Serial Killer, I was completely unaware of what to expect from this movie or prepared for what I was about to witness. I can remember seeing the trailer a few months before but not remembering a single thing from the trailer, I went into this one blind. The only thing I expected was a small town murder mystery. After watching I Am A Serial Killer, I was left completely shocked as well as surprised by what I had just witnessed with this film.
The film begins like a homespun, small town, murder mystery vibe. When the movie introduces us to our lead character, and we follow in his footsteps as an outcast. John is your typical teenage boy who is seen as the freak in his Midwestern high school. He works in a morgue. He's interested in prepping dead bodies. He has that emo quality to him, and it feels like I've seen this sort of story before. It's the early serial killer in the making tale.
The second act of I Am Not A Serial Killer begins to unravel the story a little more. I found myself during the second act also picking up on several very similar plot beats to Rear Window, Disturbia, as well as John Lithgow's 'Trinity Killer' from his season of Dexter. The spying, the stalking, watching the neighbour as he murders people, it felt again like I had seen it all before. Still, I found myself really enjoying the dynamic of Max Records and Christopher Lloyd.
Once we get to the third act of the film, the story starts to deliver the strange. This is where shit hits the fan, and it never stops moving from this moment on. What mostly plays like a small town murder mystery turns into something that is akin to the great John Carpenter's The Thing. I was not at all prepared for the insanity or where it ends up going. Those final few minutes shocked me. I thought I had this pegged from the beginning and was completely blindsided by the third act. It is deserving of the praise that the critics have been giving it.
One thing that needs to be noted on what I loved about I Am A Serial Killer is that it doesn't feel like it has a substantial or complex twist. It's a movie that slowly unravels and even gives up who the killer is early on with glimpses of what the killer is capable of, and yet when it's finally revealed, it still kicked my ass all over the place and I was still left jaw agape. I was left thinking 'what have I just witnessed'? This is one of the oddest turns I've seen in a film in quite some time, but I loved it. It needs to be seen to be believed.
The acting is absolutely fantastic in I Am Not A Serial Killer. To see Max Records come from Where The Wild Things Are which was based on my all-time favourite childhood book into a mature role like this film, I can't wait to see what he has in store for us in the future. He may not be acting in a lot, but his performances and turns are always memorable to me. Christopher Lloyd is a long way from Back To The Future. This is probably his most dark and sinister performance, and I would put him up there with Robin Williams in One Hour Photo.
Lastly, I Am A Serial Killer isn't a movie that I'd call scary. This movie doesn't ever really deliver enormous jump scares but what it does well is that it slowly builds the tension in several scenes. The ending scene is one that had me on the edge of my seat. Billy O'Brien has crafted a neat and at times intense, low-budget, supernatural, serial killer thriller. The movie also has a few scenes that will definitely make some viewers quite uncomfortable. I was pleasantly surprised.
- Entrails fall out onto the street in front of onlookers.
- A female corpse is being prepared for embalming.
- Blood is seen being drained from a body.
- A corpse is shown ripped in half.
- Pieces of someone's stomach are displayed on a slab.
- A corpse is shown with its arm torn off.
- Someone is stabbed.
- Two police officers are choked to death with oil.
- Someone's chest is being ripped open.
- Someone's head is bashed in with a telephone.
- Someone is hit by a car.
- Someone is injected with embalming fluid and drained.
I Am Not A Serial Killer feels like a low-budget homespun murder mystery, with a bit of Rear Window and a splash of John Carpenter's The Thing. I thought I had this film picked from the first moments and was left entirely shocked by the third act. The film has some solid gore, tension, and some great lead performances from Max Records and Christopher Lloyd. If you want an original and bonkers serial killer thriller, this is a movie that deserves to be seen. I hope we get more of the book series made into films as I'd like to continue with these characters.

Edible amaranths provide resilient, nutritious plants
Have you grown amaranth on purpose? Many folks grow some Amaranths for ornament, since most are attractive plants. One of the most popular varieties is "Love Lies Bleeding," or Amaranthus cruentus. Some folks grow elephant head amaranth, A. gangeticus, that definitely grows as an annual. Some amaranths grow as annuals, others as short-lived perennials. It is native to the Americas, so it's not surprising there are also weedy amaranths that grow here, that we call pigweed.
Amaranths grown for human consumption or even those for ornamental gardens are tolerant of our alkaline soil, our climate and low water conditions. They're so resilient and nutritious they're growing rapidly in popularity in India and China.
Edible amaranth is unusually full of nutrition, including high protein and lysine content in the "grains" (seeds). Several years ago, Organic Gardening magazine was so enthusiastic about the benefits of amaranth they offered free seeds. From those free seeds I grew amaranth for the leaves, and tried to eat them raw, as in salads, but they were coarse and dry, not the kind of salad I was interested in. I didn't try cooking the leaves, but should have.
Leafy amaranth is rich in calcium, magnesium, iron and vitamins C, A, and B-6. Amaranth seeds are even richer in those elements as well as providing protein and lysine in a form humans can use. It was an important crop for the early Aztecs and other indigenous people of the Americas. Its weedy origin is evident in the ease and speed of growing. Some of the seedheads grow very large, up to a kilogram, containing a million tiny seeds.
Amaranth grains are usually green, gold, yellow, red or burgundy when ripe, and each tiny seed is contained in a husk that must be removed by rubbing between gloved hands, then winnowing the chaff. The raw grains are strongest in protein, since cooking reduces that nutrient. One historically and current popular use of the grains is to pop them, like popcorn.
Grain amaranth grows to about 5 feet in height, and sets a large heavy cluster of tiny seeds at the top. It's quite a pretty setup, but the year I grew golden grain amaranth, this area was hit by false chinch bugs, and those tiny black seed eaters moving around on the head of seeds sparkled like a faceted mirror ball.
I dropped plans for harvesting that and put the seed heads through the mulcher-grinder, killing the destructive insects. The surviving insects moved on in a day or two, but their damage to the seed heads may have been severe.
Amaranth grains and flour derived from grinding the grains are available in our markets, and usable either for popping or in gluten-free recipes.
Forget pole bean versions of snap beans
If you garden to grow your own food and your family likes green snap beans, don't waste your time growing pole bean versions of snap beans. They're very late to produce, while bush snap beans such as Slenderette have been providing snap beans since early July. They usually provide heavily, then pause and get a second wind, then produce until frost. My row of Slenderettes is only about six feet long, but we've frozen 15 bags and eaten fresh beans a few times over the summer.
Contender used to be my favorite bean, but it didn't retain good flavor when frozen, and production died out after about two pickings. Taste is subjective, I know, but I do not like varieties such as Kentucky Wonder or Blue Lake. My late friend Ross Hadfield, truly an Advanced Master Gardener, enthused to one and all about the virtues of Slenderette, and I found he was right, even to the very good flavor, fresh or frozen.

Media and readers of my web pages about atomic bombs 1945, Moon trips 1969, M/V Estonia ferry incident 1994 and 911 tower top down terrorist collapses 2001 are warned. You probably suffer from cognitive dissonance and cannot handle my facts without getting mentally disturbed with serious consequences.
My proven data are simple and correct and good news. A-bombs do not work. Humans cannot travel to the Moon (this Challenge)! M/V Estonia didn't lose her bow visor. Skyscrapers do not collapse from top down. All information to the contrary is pseudoscience, propaganda lies, Fake News or fantasies promoted by media and taught at universities. If you do not agree with these official lies, you will not be allowed at the university boat race* and other silly events, etc. Your position in society is at risk.
If you suffer from cognitive dissonance, you no doubt find my info and Challenge disturbing and get upset, angry, anxious or worried. What to believe and write? Old lies, Fake News or truth?
Media incl. newspaper chief editors are kindly requested to get psychological assistance to get rid of their cognitive dissonance. Why not cure yourself? And publish the result as a scoop.
*Safety at sea is my business
The Anders Björkman Challenge 2 (since September 2012 - last update 26 January 2019)
The United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) was set up by the UN General Assembly in 1959 to govern the exploration and use of space for the benefit of all humanity: for peace, security and development. The Committee was tasked with reviewing international cooperation in peaceful uses of outer space, studying space-related activities that could be undertaken by the United Nations, encouraging space research programmes, and studying legal problems arising from the exploration of outer space. Nobody in that Committee has ever questioned in almost 60 years, if it is physically possible to explore outer space with a spacecraft! If you ask them, nobody replies.
Founded in 1954, the American Astronautical Society has long been recognized for the excellence of its national meetings, technical meetings, symposia and publications and for their impact on shaping the U.S. space program. Members have opportunities to meet with leaders in their field and in related disciplines, exchange information and ideas, discuss career aspirations and expand their knowledge and expertise. However, nobody in the American Astronautical Society has been able to prove if it is physically possible to explore outer space with spacecrafts!
The American Astronomical Society (AAS) is the major organization of professional astronomers in North America since before 1900. The mission is to enhance and share humanity's scientific understanding of the universe. AAS thinks 2018 it is possible to explore the universe with spacecrafts but ... has not been able to prove it.
The International Astronautical Federation (IAF) is the world's leading space advocacy body with over 340 members, including all key space agencies, companies, societies, associations and institutes across 68 countries. But none of their members have 2018 been able to prove if it is physically possible to explore outer space with a spacecraft!
The International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety is a funny organization. In 2006 former US Senator John Glenn, first fake American to orbit, became Honorary Member of the IAASS. In 2010 IAASS was granted Observer status at the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Space. But nobody in the association can explain how to explore space using a spacecraft and how much fuel is required.
According the Review of United States Human Space Flight Plans Committee, also known as the HSF Committee, Augustine Commission or Augustine Committee, human space travel is easy:
The Committee has concluded that, "the ultimate goal of human exploration is to chart a path for human expansion into the solar system." It also observed that "destinations should derive from goals," and "human spaceflight objectives should broadly align with key national objectives." Destinations beyond low Earth orbit that were considered by the Committee include the Moon, Mars, and near-Earth objects as well as the moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos. Among these, the Committee felt that "Mars stands prominently above all other opportunities for exploration" because "if humans are ever to live for long periods on another planetary surface, it is likely to be on Mars."
The review was commissioned to take into account several objectives but not if human space travel were possible at all. It seems plenty people just believe space travel is easy. But is it?
In order to assist with the latter possibility the Anders Björkman Challenge 2 is to
first describe the itenaries to complete a manned Moon return trip and a manned planet Mars return trip from being ejected into space from orbit around Earth towards the Moon and/or planet Mars, incl. departure dates Earth, arrival/departure dates Moon/Mars and arrival dates Earth with due regard to the fact that the Moon orbits Earth, while Earth and Mars orbit the Sun, i.e. two different trips must be described: One to the Moon. One to planet Mars. Some ideas about the difficulties of any spacecraft traveling between moving heavenly bodies are given here. Then to
second calculate using basic astrophysical principles of space navigation and travel the amount of fuel (kg) (or energy (J)) required by external combustion chambers (also known as rocket engines), and to
third describe the spacecrafts incl. their masses before/after the various manoeuvers of the trips, i.e. orbit changes, any heat shield(s), if fitted for landings, the engines and fuel tanks that can carry the amount of fuel using 1960 or 2019 technology, the accommodation and gear for the persons aboard, and to
finally/fourth show that it is actually feasible to do the trips.
Please do not present dreams and fantasies.
Safety at sea is my business, so I know a little about ships, sex and sea. A luxury cruise in the West Indies is my preferred style of travel. Good food! Plenty sex. Champagne for breakfast, lobster for lunch and caviar in the evening. Walking the decks in the evening, kissing in the Moon light, swimming in the aft end pool at midnight, dancing all night long and making love after breakfast. Space travel? Being locked up inside a tin can space ship for weeks with no shower, sex, swimming in water, etc. Sounds crazy. No fun at all!
But the little Moon trip is easy, if you believe in pseudoscience. The Moon is always at an almost fixed distance from Earth. Just copy paste or duplicate the 1969 NASA Apollo 11 trip but using 2019 technology. The trip takes say a week and involve plenty orbit changes and two landings. If you believe NASA.
The Mars trips should also be easy, even if Mars is sometimes very far away from Earth and sometimes very close to Earth, i.e. the distance varies. SpaceX CEO Lone Skum has all details on his drawing board. I am very curious to know how to keep the crew motivated during the trip being locked up inside a spacecraft and a habitat for years. I am also curious about the itinary - do you take the shortest, straitest, fastest route, when Earth is closest to Mars, or a long, strange, variable speeds/directions banana shaped route around the Sun?
All governments in the world tell their citizens that you have to apply a force at departure into a modified Earth orbit, other force(s) to orbit and land on Moon/Mars and finally apply more force(s) to depart Moon/Mars at the right dates, locations and times and then simply drop back on Earth. But to produce forces you need fuel. Part of the Challenge is to establish if you can carry the fuel with you. Sounds simple, doesn't it? And forget the sex! And the champagne! And the caviar! It is not provided during the space trips, even if it should.
An application to collect my Ć1M should include
1. Description of spacecraft/mass (kg) without fuel.
2. Mass (kg)/speed (m/s)/altitude (m) of spacecraft with fuel in a suitable parking orbit of Earth (ready to go) and how it got there!
To travel in space you need fuel. And that fuel comes from Earth. The first little part Challenge is to establish how you get the fuel with you!
3. Location/time/date/direction leaving Earth parking orbit and force (N) applied/duration (s) of force applied and fuel used (kg) for the initial trans-location X- injection.
Maybe a slow Hohmann transfer is used but any trajectory to proceed to location X is permitted. Location X is where the influence of Moon/Mars gravity equals Earth gravity in space. Ensure that the escape velocity from Earth is correct so you can arrive at location X.
4. Mass (kg)/speed (m/s)/direction of spacecraft/fuel after leaving orbit Earth and after cutting off the force heading for location X in space, and on to landing on Moon/ Mars + calculations of location X.
Or simply - how much fuel (kg) is required to leave orbit Earth going to Moon/Mars?
5. Location/time/date/velocity (m/s)/direction at arrival location X.
6. Mass (kg) at arrival location X.
7. Location/time/date/direction leaving trajectory to X/Moon/Mars and force(s) (N) applied/duration (s) of force(s) applied to enter orbit/land on Moon/Mars, fuel (kg) used for and time of landing.
This is critical. You have initially been orbiting Earth but now you intend to orbit Moon/Mars before landing. Do you have the fuel for it? Part of the spacecraft/fuel may of course be left in orbit Moon/Mars and you just take a small landing spacecraft to land/piss on the Moon/Mars. It is your choice.
If you manage to do 3-7 correctly you have left one orbit around Earth for another orbit around Moon or Mars and then left the latter orbit to land. An orbit is the path followed by one heavenly body, e.g. a planet, a moon or an artificial spacecraft around another planet, moon or Sun without any power used. If the orbit is circular, the local orbital tangential velocity (m/s), the change of direction (°/s) and the gravity (inwards) and centrifugal (outwards) forces (N) are constant and in balance. If the orbit is elliptical, which is the normal case, the orbital, tangential speed, change of direction and gravity/centrifugal forces are variable and greater, when the distance between the bodies is smaller, but they are always in balance. The position/tangential speed/change of direction of a body in orbit can be determined. It appears that space travel is simply to move from one orbit to another orbit and to/from the heavenly bodies being orbited ... and your task is to show how you do it! And it is simple - at the right time/location in EPO you fire your rocket/apply your force so that your spacecraft arrives at the Moon or Mars without further forces applied.
8. Mass (kg) of spacecraft/fuel on solid Moon/Mars.
9. Force (N) applied/duration (s) of force applied, fuel used (kg) for departure and time/date of departure Moon/Mars.
Explain also in detail how you can land anywhere and then just blast off from where you were to get back in space!
10. Mass (kg)/speed (m/s)/direction of spacecraft/fuel after departure Moon/Mars heading for location X in space and on to Earth + calculations. Fuel used (kg).
11. Location/time/date/velocity (m/s)/direction at location X.
12. Trajectories - locations/times in space at regular intervals to/from Moon/Mars to confirm that you are heading in the right directions.
13. Mass (kg)/speed (m/s)/direction, time/date of spacecraft just prior re-entry Earth.
14. Trajectory/velocity of re-entry, incl. times, start location (position/altitude), directions in 3D, altitudes, velocities in 3D every minute from start to end (parachutes deployed). Note: Arriving from the Moon means that you drop free fall onto Earth for a couple of days and arrival speed at top of atmosphere for re-entry will be >11 000 m/s. Arriving from planet Mars means that you drop free fall onto Earth for a couple of weeks and arrival speed at top of atmosphere for re-entry will be >21 000 m/s. The re-entry brake system must be 3.65 times stronger returning from Mars than from the Moon. A Mars re-entry may look like, if you are an optimist.
Alternatively you will crash or you will miss Earth completely. Re-entry at >21 000 m/s velocity is not easy.
15. Landing (details).
Manoeuvres to leave/enter orbits and to land/depart, forces applied and their directions and durations must be explained in detail incl. locations/times, etc. Costs need not be considered. Just calculate the trajectories, the forces (N) applied and the fuel (kg) used. Ensure that you can carry the fuel with you from the beginning and that you do not get too heavy. Ensure also that you can really do a re-entry and establish the re-entry trajectory beforehand.
16. Miscellaneous Make a short description of the accommdation, sanitary and safety facilities, restaurants, lectures and entertainment aboard your spacecraft to keep the officers, crew and passengers happy during the trip, etc. Maybe external space walks cheer up the passengers?

Carol Norberg works for the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (Institutet för rymdfysik, IRF), a Swedish government agency at Box 812, SE-981 28 Kiruna, Sweden. The IRF was founded in 1957, when everyone believed in manned spaceflight and the first Kiruna-designed satellite experiment was launched in 1968. It was a failure, like most things IRF does since 50 years.
IRF has participate in several, 100% fake, international satellite projects. IRF, e.g. had instruments (!) on board the following faked-up spacecraft projects:
Cassini (launched 1997 that crashed 15 September 2017) was a combined NASA/ESA (European Space Agency) mission. It never left Earth but IRF played along during 20 years supporting the hoax. Carol Norberg cannot explain how it left Earth.
Mars Express (2003) was a faked up ESA mission to study Mars. It too never left Earth and Carol Norberg cannot explain how it was sent from Earth to orbit planet Mars.
Rosetta (2004) was one of ESA's cornerstone projects studying comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko since 2014. It was pure fantasy during many years. Ask Carol Norberg about it.
Venus Express (2005) was an ESA satellite to study Venus and completed its mission in December 2014 ... if you believe in Father Christmas. Carol Norberg cannot explain how it left Earth and arrived at Venus. Etc, etc.
IFR and Carol have managed to fool their principals (Swedish taxpayers) since more than 50 years.
John Olson, director of NASA's Exploration Systems Mission Directorate Integration Office said 2009 that it is easy to go to the Moon for a sustained human presence in space. It will be done 2020! Ask him to help you win my Challenge 2.
The difficulties to get to Mars is explained by some silly science fiction writers here. Note that "with launch costs currently as high as $20 million per ton, boosting a Mars spacecraft would be prohibitively expensive", i.e. it is not possible at all. There are no way to get the spacecraft off the ground. But do not worry. Assume that you are off the ground and in orbit when starting your Challenge 2 trips.
October 2015, NAXA is also much more optimistic:
NASA is leading our nation and our world on a journey to Mars. Like the Apollo Program, we embark on this journey for all humanity. Unlike Apollo, we will be going to stay. This is a historic pioneering endeavor. A journey made possible by a sustained effort of science and exploration missions beyond low Earth orbit with successively more capable technologies and partnerships. ...
Imagine that it is possible to return from Mars in a couple of days using solar electric propulsion! The re-entry difficulty is solved!!!
Engineers from NAXA, JPLx, EXA, Harvard, MIT Axtronautics department (!) and Skolkovo Institute of Sxience and Technology are thus encouraged to participate in this Anders Björkman Challenge 2 how to travel to the Moon and Mars.
British professor Brian Cox, OBE, has failed this Challenge and got very upset!
Tips about the matter and many difficulties are found at the Anders Björkman Moon/Mars Travel website. Any real description of a spacecraft that can accomplish a manned Moon and planet Mars return trip is part of winning my Ć1 000 000:- cheque!
It seems however that all manned space trips so far are ... silly jokes or hoaxes ... in disguise of national security. Do not blame me for it. I just organize this Challenge.
How to just land on any planet with atmosphere is described at document Returning from Space: Re-entry, i.e. instead of using a rocket engine/combustion chamber/fuel to brake required for a Moon landing, you use a little heat shield, friction and turbulent drag at small angle of entry to reduce mostly horizontal velocity, while gravity pulls you closer to ground at increasing vertical velocity. Try to use that info to explain your Mars/Earth landing 2018.
Dr. Buzz Aldrin - famous cosmo clown from the 1960's and author of best selling 1963 thesis "Line-of-sight guidance techniques for manned orbital rendezvous" - is still around. Buy him a drink and ask him how he managed to get to the Moon and back. Good luck!

Team India is on the verge of starting their toughest cricketing season, starting with the three-Test series against South Africa. The no.1 ranked team will also play England, Australia, and New Zealand in the upcoming season as well.
Virat Kohli led India has won nine consecutive Test series, but pitches full of pace in South Africa has been the bane of Indian touring parties since 1992. Indian batting has always fallen apart in front of Proteas bowling.
Indian bowling has also lacked the fire and pace to match their South African counterparts. But this time around, experts believe that Team India has the firepower and in-form bowlers to beat South Africa in the own backyard.
Let's take a look at the strengths and weakness that Team India faces in this series:
The biggest strength of Team India is the form of their batsmen, especially Virat Kohli, Murali Vijay, Cheteshwar Pujara and the presence of Ajinkya Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan in the team. The biggest plus for team India is actually the fast bowling contingent that India currently possesses. With Mohd Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah in their line-up, Team India has the ability to give South Africa a taste of their own medicine.
During the previous tours, the form or the lack of it of the Indian spinners proved fatal to India's chances of winning the Test series. But this time, Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are coming off a successful season and have made some necessary tweaks in their bowling to suit the faster pitches in South Africa.
All of the Indian fast bowlers are able to hit the 140 kmph mark easily and Ishant Sharma's height and Jasprit Bumrah's abnormal bowling action and surprise factor of bowling in the longer format will cause problems for the Proteas batting.
The Indian batting will initially find it hard to face the pace and swing of Rabada, Morkel, and Morris, but after spending some time, they will get used to it and score runs off them.
The biggest weakness that India will face is the way their spinners go about bowling on the South African pitches. The second problem is the ideal team combination that India will look to go in the Test series.
On the last tour of the rainbow nation, Indian spinners failed to pick up a wicket in the Joburg Test and that helped South Africa almost chasing down the target of 458. Ashwin and Jadeja will have to find a new trick to keep them helpful on this tour. They will obviously play a supporting role to the fast bowlers after the fast bowlers did for them during the long home season. Only one of Ashwin or Jadeja will get to play in the playing XI unless South Africa decides to prepare a rank turner for their spinner in one of the Tests.
The second weakness will be the how the Indian batting lineup deals with the South African pace battery of Kagiso Rabada, Morne Morkel, Chris Morris and Andile Phehlukwayo, not forgetting the great Dale Steyn. India also needs to find the perfect combination of the team that they will play. Will the team management go in with 6 batsmen, 3 quick bowlers, one spinner and all-rounder Hardik Pandya or will they go with four fast bowlers and one spinner?
The three-Test series between India and South Africa is definitely poised to give the viewers and fans of both teams some top quality cricket that will test the mettle of the no.1 Test team and the contender for the no.1 spot.
This series will also be the litmus test for team India captain Virat Kohli, who is on a dream run as both the leader of the Indian team and as the premier batsman of the team.

A few weeks ago, I walked out on the back deck overlooking the lake with a friend. It was his first visit to our house on Lake D'Arbonne.
"Can you guess my favorite part about this (other than the fishing)", I asked him.
Answers were — "looking at the water, the sunset, the boat dock, watching the ducks," etc. I said, "No". Listen…
He replied, "I don't hear anything." Exactly . . . Still and quiet….

Then How Will You Withstand The Fire Of The Hereafter?
'Abdullah ibn Marzooq, who was a close friend of the ruler Al-Mahdee, was drunk one day and consequently missed the congregational prayer. His female servant came to him with a piece of burning wood and placed it on his leg. He jumped up with an expression of pain on his face.
"If you cannot withstand the fire of the earth, then how will you withstand the Fire of the Hereafter [which is 70 times more intense than the fire of this world]?" She said to him.
Having understood the point of the painful lesson, 'Abdullah ibn Marzooq repented. Thereafter, he performed his prayers on time and gave away a great deal in charity.
After some time passed, Al-Fudayl ibn 'Iyaad and Ibn 'Uyaynah visited him, and just by looking at him and the furniture of his home, they noticed a drastic change in his lifestyle. They asked, "No one forsakes something for Allah except that Allah compensates him with something equal or better, so what did Allah compensate you with for what you abandoned?" He said, "Contentment for the situation I find myself to be in."

Six Tips To Hiring Limo Companies In Kansas City
Not everyone can afford to buy a limousine, except of course you are raking in millions at the end of every year. But your inability to afford to buy a limo should not stop you from experiencing the luxury of riding in one. Fortunately, there are several companies that provide limo hire services, hence giving people the opportunity to enjoy the luxury and comfort of an exquisite ride. By spending a few bucks for a few hours, you can hire a limo to make a grand entrance at an all-important occasion or for your wedding so you can arrive in style.
But before you opt for any of the limo companies in Kansas City there are certain things that you must bear in mind, below are six of them;
1) Your event:
Before you make that call to any of the limo companies in Kansas City or walk into their office, you need to carry out some personal research yourself. Why? Because there are so many types of limos. The one you will be offered will be dependent on your occasion, the number of people you wish to carry, the number of hours you want it for, how far it would travel etc. Each of these unique limos (exotic limo, stretch limo, novelty limo etc) offer unique amenities.
In order to deliver to you quality service, limo companies in Kansas City are likely to ask you a few questions about your event; the more details you can provide, the better the service they can offer you.
2) Ask for references:
Limos don't come cheap, hence you must do what you can to find the right company that can offer you quality service. You need an experienced reputable company with enviable references. You need a company that has been in business for a good amount of time and has a reputation for quality and safety.
3) Ask for proof of insurance:
One of the first things limo companies in Kansas City should provide prospective clients with during a pitch is proof of insurance coverage for their fleet. Before you hire a limo company to ensure that their vehicles are properly insured and not under a personal auto insurance policy.
4) Ask for quality chauffeurs:
The quality of service delivered and the professionalism of the chauffeur will go a long way in determining the outcome of your event. A professional chauffeur should be properly dressed, arrive on time and will be courteous.
5) Ask for everything to be in writing:
This is very important, particularly if what you have in mind is a special occasion that requires personalized and specific requirements. Your written document/contract will carry the details of everything you want; from the time of arrival to location. For clarity and to avoid confusion, it is better everything be in writing, and in good time, too.
6) Ask if there is any special thing you need to know:
Ask the company if there are any special rules that you need to know about and what your rights are. Ask about their cancellation policy, better yet, get everything in writing.

I don't have DirecTV so I haven't been able to watch Friday Night Lights yet this season, but I certainly look forward to doing so when it airs on NBC beginning in January!
Other returning favorites which I am quite excited about include Damages, Flight of the Conchords, Lost and Medium. I will continue to enjoy the remaining episodes and then mourn the loss of Dirty Sexy Money, Eli Stone, Lipstick Jungle and Pushing Daisies.
As a huge fan of the small screen, it is very disheartening to see that kind of programming disappear, and alarming to note the number of ill-advised reality shows filling up the airwaves instead. Note to studio execs: there is a reason that The Amazing Race, American Idol and Survivor remain popular year after year- they feature actual competition, emotion and talent. Enough with the dating garbage (I'm talking to you, NBC, MTV & VH1). I realize that it is far less expensive to create and produce an allegedly unscripted reality series these days, but it is a shame that the television landscape (and audience) loses quality and creativity as a result.

The Swiss Federal Council has set up a Blockchain task force to promote its adaptation in the country, among other things, the Handelszeitung reported in December. This Friday, the 12th of January, the working group meets for the first time. Their task should be to clarify legal need for action in the course of the rushing use of Blockchain and crypto currencies. The federal authorities are reacting to the Bitcoin boom and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) in the country.
Switzerland is keeping its wits about what will happen in this country in the future: in order to advance the public potential of Blockchain exploitation and at the same time disclose the consequences of the emerging technologies for the Alpine region, the Federal Council, the Swiss government, has launched Blockchain technology taskforce in December.
Led by Finance Minister Ueli Maurer and Minister of Economic Affairs and Education Johann Schneider-Ammann, the working group consists of representatives of the federal government, the cantons and Blockchain start-ups based in Switzerland. Together with the State Secretariat for International Financial Affairs, the Task Force is to examine the statutory structure in the atmosphere of initial coin offers and Blockchain companies and to clarify urgent action needs.
The reason for this is that the Blockchain is becoming increasingly important for many economic sectors, said Federal Councilor Schneider-Ammann to the Neue Züricher Zeitung. It called for a liberal government, "which opens up opportunities for Switzerland as a location and at the same time reduces risks". One is particularly dependent on legal certainty. This should create the taskforce.
As a special achievement Schneider-Ammann also praised the participation of the Blockchain companies in the run-up to the initial meeting.
The Blockchain student pattern
However, the founding of the Task Force is only a symptom of a long-winded crypto and Blockchain boom in Swiss Confederation. As a result, Switzerland is increasingly maturing into a pioneering state on the European continent. Examples of successful Blockchain adaptions and crypto enthusiasm can be found in numerous alpine countries. Especially with regard to the acceptance of Bitcoin & Co., the Swiss are on the rise.
Many towns nationwide wrestle for the primacy of the "Blockchain capital". City of Zug, known as the "crypto valley", is now known throughout Europe and has become one of the most attractive locations for fintech companies. Among other things, Crypto Valley Association, which with the support of the Federal Council pursues the goal of establishing a globally leading Blockchain ecosystem in Switzerland, is based here.
Other Swiss communities are catching up, such as Chiasso, on the Italian border. As in Zug, according to local media, tax payments should soon be possible in Bitcoin.
Another example comes from the medieval city of Lucerne. Since recently, students can pay their bills via Bitcoin. Although the university is the first in Switzerland to accept Bitcoin as a means of payment, many more are likely to follow.
Hope for the Digital Ministry?
While Switzerland shows how successful Blockchain adaptation can be, in this country it means: if you wait, you will see. After the failed Jamaican coalition, talking about exploratory is currently underway with a re-launch of the grand coalition of the Union and the SPD. Both parties elaborated little idea about the future design of Germany as a digitization country. Both, however, have written the birth of a central body for digital political expertise – for example in the form of a digital ministry or a digital state minister at the Chancellery – on the flag.
However, that the keyword "Blockchain" will not fall under the table. Blockchain ecosystem in Germany will be builded and strenghtened. Whether it will succeed in his project, we will still have to see in the coming months.

*If you're not interested in the intricacies of languages PLEASE don't read this ramble
I grew up thinking that English is such a hard language to learn!
People always did so poorly in spelling classes, and so many educational institutions in English-speaking countries set up ESL (English as a Second Language) programs for immigrants. I myself was put into one (using racial prejudices, I'm sure - I wasn't an immigrant, although my first language wasn't English).
At age 8 already, I thought that so many people had trouble speaking/writing/reading/listening to English.
When I started learning French in grade 4, the first couple of weeks was comprised of our teacher reassuring us that learning French couldn't be that hard.
They gave us impressionable youngsters a sheet. Here is a copy of it:
"So you think French is hard!"
I take it you already know
Of tough and bough and cough and dough.
Others may stumble, but not you,
On hiccough, thorough, though, and through -
Well done!
And now you wish perhaps
To learn of less familiar traps?
Beware of heard, a dreadful word
That looks like beard and sounds like bird,
And dead - it's said like bed, not bead.
Watch out for meat and great and threat
(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt).
A moth is not a moth in mother,
Nor both in bother, broth in brother.
And here is not a match for there
Nor dear and fear for bear and pear.
And then there's dose and rose and lose,
Just look them up - goose and choose
And cork and work and card and ward
And front and font, and word and sword
And do and go, and wart and cart -
Come! Come! I've hardly made a start!
A dreadful language? Man alive!
I mastered it - when I was five!!!
(Source: http://www.astro.umd.edu/~dcr/DCR/English1)
This poem no doubt had an impact on my love for the wonder of languages, but it also tricked me into thinking that only native speakers could unlock the key of speaking English properly.
Furthering my biased view of English were the numerous foreign accents that the media, especially television, placed on ethnic speakers. I watched a lot of The Simpsons when I was young and anyone who was not yellow had a foreign accent--like Apu. I thought that all foreigners studied so hard and took years and years, almost a lifetime, to learn English.
What got me into other languages was singing other languages in choir, such as trying to pronounce the Latin, German and other things properly. But this gave me a strained view of what learning an entire language consisted of. I thought I was learning a language when singing songs. No one told me that I was just mimicking some sounds in a language I did not understand at all.
My attempts at trying to learn Chinese and French "because I had to" was a very lazy way of learning a language -- I had no motivation whatsoever. There was no pull for me to learn any of those to completion. So when I came out of almost 6 years of learning those and I could not even understand anything I just became angry at the system, not realizing that learning a language took practice, initiative, and all those other things I did not do.
So I come here and everyone speaks English almost perfectly even though none of them have it as their mother tongue. They take lectures in English with ease even though they've never done it before, and they read the textbooks in English and write English essays and exams. My mind is thinking, "WHAT is going on here?" I thought English was mighty hard. Didn't that poem say so?
When I first started learning linguistics in university, I remember learning about case systems and clitics and all that. I was fascinated, but that was it. All it did to me was fascinate me, but I had no use for it. I could not apply it anywhere. Then comes Icelandic with its three genders and its four cases and all these.
People from Greece, Germany, Finland, with their crazy case systems say that English is easy. A person from French-speaking Switzerland, with its highly irregular orthography, says English is easy to learn. She's been learning German for a longer time but English has way surpassed what she knows in German.
Here are some theories as to why English is easy to learn:
1. It's highly flexible. Native English speakers are so used to hearing other accents that they accommodate for foreigners (sometimes overaccommodate as to the point of being patronising).
2. The phones are some of the most common found amongst other languages in the world (except for the 'r', I'm told)
3. There is absolutely no case system, noun gender, and I'm told that verb conjugation is easy. Genitives are easy, word order is regular, etc. It is a language with synthetic leanings.
What gets me is the phonology and the orthography. I learned that they are highly sporadic. The stress is random and can mean different things depending on context. The orthography? Just look at the poem above. I guess it comes through with practice.
Now here is a second language acquisition question: Is it because of the greater opportunities one has to practice English, or is it because of the nature of the language in relation to other languages, that English is easy to learn? Or is it both? If both, which factor has more effect?
My answer would be that at first it's because it is "inherently" easy, but as the learner progresses it would be because of the huge access to people, books, films, materials in English.
And does this have anything to do with English as a lingua franca? The sociolinguist would say it's because of the opportunities, but wouldn't people in the past have just given up on learning English if it was too hard, no matter what opportunities it provided? They could've switched to Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Chinese, Russian, whatever as their second language.
Okay I should be studying now so I will stop here!
Please send comments about this.

Game #111 Lineups and Outlook
After taking care of business against the Minnesota Twins the Rays now turn their sights on the Toronto Blue Jays. The Jays are hot as they're battling for the division lead with the Orioles and Red Sox. Unlike those other teams I don't mind losing the Jays in a year like this. I'd like to see them do well so this should be a fine chance for them to do that.
The gamblers think Toronto is a healthy favorite, but the model really likes them for a couple of reasons. If Rays starter Jake Odorizzi has a weakness it is that he can struggle to put away righties at times. He'll be tasked with some of the best right-handed hitters in the game at the top of the lineup. All of those guys can hit for both average and power, and with the exception of Travis, also show the discipline to work walks if they don't get anything that they like.
As we know when facing Dickey it could either be a quick game or a short one for him. If the knuckler is on he's pretty tough to beat, but if it's floating on him then it's going to get hit. As a total wild card he is probably the sole reason for the depressed line, but I still think betting the Jays is a solid play today.
The Rays have some power on the bench, but only the two non-catchers as they're rolling with the extra arm. The Blue Jays will only use three with the extra arm in their new six-man rotation. Smoak can hit a righty, but that's about it.

Should there be an advisory vote on the Business Review to allow shareholders to express their view on the directors' performance and the company's future prospects on the basis of the directors' description of the company's performance, forward looking strategy and principal risks?I think I know which asset manager might have been pushing that one....!
Also seeks views on remuneration reporting, which is an opportunity to address the 'sensitive to pay and conditions across the group' issue. Also maybe time for BIS to look at disclosure of directors' pension entitlements?

I am incredibly excited to announce that pre-orders for my second chapbook, Wandering Wonderful, are now open via Finishing Line Press.
The pre-order period is an important time for a book because it will help to determine the press run (the number of copies to be printed). Anytime someone reaches out and tells me that they've pre-ordered my new book, I am simply over the moon with gratitude. But not only because that purchase will help to determine my press run – it's because it means someone is so excited to read this new little book of mine, that they click that "Add to Cart" button even though it won't be arriving until mid-May. And that to me is simply incredible!
Clicking on the cover image below will take you to the page for pre-orders. A few people have asked me about how they can pre-order without doing so online (believe me, I understand completely). Anyone wishing to place a pre-order by mail can do so at: Finishing Line Press, PO Box 1626, Georgetown, KY 40325. The cost of the book is $14.99 + $2.99 for shipping
My first chapbook, No Direction But Home, was in released in 2013 via ALL CAPS PUBLISHING and is available for purchase. (Clicking on the image below will take you to directly to the book on Amazon.)
If you wish to have a signed copy, please use the Paypal button set up below. Be sure to indicate a name for the inscription if you select this method!
Unfortunately, I cannot yet offer signed copies of Wandering Wonderful through my blog. I simply haven't gotten my hands on a physical copy myself yet.
Thank you to all of my readers for the support and encouragement you've shown me over the past 10 years. Anytime someone publishes a piece of themselves for all to see, it is a small act of bravery. And you, my friends, have been my virtual cheering squad. For that I am most humbly grateful.

The mechanical properties of CrN films coated by radio frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering method were investigated. CrN films were coated on stainless steel, silicon wafer and glass substrates using sputtering of a Cr target in nitrogen ambient. The films were coated by varying the deposition temperature, nitrogen partial pressure and rf power density. The films coated were characterized by nanoindentation method, microhardness, optical, and corrosion tests. In order to use CrN as mechanical coating material, the surface roughness, hardness and adhesion properties have to be determined. The film properties were measured using atomic force microscopy and nanoindentation method and analyzed as a function of deposition conditions. It was found that these properties can be varied by changing the deposition conditions.

Technology supplier wins award for the second successive year, adding to a number of prizes it received from other companies last year
Ingram Micro has won Jabra's Best Distributor 2012 UK award for the second year running.
The company picked up the award at Jabra's EMEA partner conference in Amsterdam earlier this month. It adds to awards Ingram won from the likes of Asus, Microscope and Adobe in 2012.
Ingram Micro commercial director Mike Farrah (pictured centre) said: "Jabra's products form an important part of our UC business so to receive this honour again is something we are very proud of.
"2012 was a successful time for us in the awards stakes and with this great start to 2013 it looks likely that we'll repeat that success again as the year progresses."
Jabra UK and Ireland managing director Andrew Doyle (pictured left) said: "It is a true testament that Ingram Micro has delivered on key Jabra initiatives such as the Jabra WIN Partner Programme to help onboard partners as well as key lead generation programmes to maintain the growth of existing partners.
Ingram Micro continues to meet and exceed market demands by supporting the increasing requirement for UC-optimised devices."

Stop Sleepwalking and Wake Up Well-Rested in the Mornings
Sleep peacefully each night with the help of hypnosis
Does sleepwalking cause you to wake up feeling disorientated and scared?
Do you sometimes wake up with injuries and no idea how they happened?
For some people, sleepwalking is an occasional occurrence. But for others, it happens regularly, causing constant worry and stress.
Sleepwalking most ofter occurs during the non-REM (rapid eye movement) part of sleep. And in some cases, it can even lead the sleepwalker into dangerous situations, such as coming into contact with sharp household objects or even leaving the house.
If you frequently sleepwalk and are worried about your safety, it is important to consult a medical practitioner for advice.
Hypnosis can change your automatic responses
Hypnosis can be helpful for sleepwalkers because it taps into the parts of your mind that you do not have conscious control over.
A small study conducted by Peter Hauri, Ph.D., of the Mayo Clinic suggested that properly screened sleep walking patients can experience significant improvement with the use of clinical hypnosis.
And in a five year follow up study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, the researchers reported that sleep walkers treated with hypnotherapy had a 50% improvement after 18 months and 67% after 5 years. Improvement was defined as being "spell free or much improved."
Stop Sleepwalking is an audio hypnosis session that will train your unconscious mind to put that sleepwalking habit behind you, so you can sleep safely in bed.
As you relax and listen repeatedly to your download, you'll notice that you:
- Sleep soundly each night
- Feel well-rested in the mornings
- No longer worry about sleepwalking.
Download Stop Sleepwalking and look forward to a peaceful, uninterrupted sleep each night.

When he compared two of the best dramatists of his age,
Greek philosopher and scholar Aristhoteles said: "Sophocles
shows the people as they should be, and Euripides shows them
as they are." Two and half thousands years later, that
statements still rings true. Flaws of human nature provide
causes for conflict, and without conflicts there wouldn't be
any dramas. Without dramas, whole modern entertainment
industry, at least the one we know it, wouldn't exist. And,
besides, flawed characters are usually fun to watch, while
ideal aren't. That ancient wisdom could be witnessed in THE
BIG EASY, 1987 movie by Jim McBride, one of the more
entertaining examples of the police thriller genre.
The movie is set in New Orleans, colourful American
metropolis known for its exotic looks, mystique and
century-old traditions. One of such traditions seems to be
wide- spread corruption within New Orleans Police
Department. Lieutenant Remy McSwain (Dennis Quaid) doesn't
seem to see anything wrong with it; on the contrary, he is
on the take himself, but still considers himself a good cop.
However, his personal code of ethics is challenged, same as
the peaceful coexistence between police and organised crime.
Someone is killing major drug dealers and Mafia figures in
town, and such events, that could lead to gang war, are
bringing attention of Anne Osborne (Ellen Barkin), special
prosecutor in charge of police corruption. At first
intrigued by the fact that cop-busting attorney shows so
much interest in a simple feud between the bad guys, McSwain
decides to help her. But, as the investigation continues and
more bodies pile up in the streets, McSwain witnesses
growing attraction between the two.
THE BIG EASY presents a challenge to anyone who would like
to put movies into genre folders; it isn't thrilling enough
to be called "thriller", and it isn't funny to be called
"drama" and it isn't funny enough to be "comedy". Yet,
despite its own genre ambiguity, it is probably one of the
most charming films of the previous decade. Plot doesn't
matter in this film - Daniel Petrie Jr. didn't bother too
much with that element of his script; but the real treasure
of the movies are the characters. Remy McSwain is presented
as easy-going fellow, who cracks jokes in the presence of
dead bodies and whose unstoppable charm can wiggle him out
of any situations; Dennis Quaid is in his acting prime, and
the role of Remy is probably one of the best performances in
his career. His partner is equally seductive Ellen Barkin,
but she manages to hide her feminine charm under the guise
of inquisitorial Dragon Lady that would make even like
Kenneth Starr tame in comparison. However, the real strength
of this movie lies in the combination of those two actors;
their sexual chemistry is unbelievable and as soon as they
meet, the viewer is only left to wonder when, and not if,
should two of them end in bed. When something like that
finally happen, director Jim McBride, who has some
experience with explicit erotica in the movies, shows their
encounter in most realistic, yet equally charming fashion.
Other characters also contribute a lot to the movie's
appeal, mostly by illustrating a colourful and easy-going
nature of New Orleans. The most notable is slimy but
cultivated lawyer Lamar Parmentel, played by stage actor
Charles Ludlam in the cinematic role of his life; Cajun
mystique is also presented by McSwain's tough and protective
mother, played by Grace Zabriskie, actress who usually takes
less appealing roles. Of course, minor roles are also
reserved for capable character and comic actors like Ned
Beatty, John Goodman and Lisa Jane Persky. Even one of the
local celebrities, Louisiana State judge Judge Jim Garrison
(immortalised as the hero of Oliver Stone's controversial
epic JFK), gets an opportunity to play himself in a cameo
role. Apart from characters, another things that could
please the viewers is a clever use of local zydeco music,
whose uplifting tunes make this film cheerful instead of
Darker tones, however, do appear in THE BIG EASY, but too
late. The movie makers were simply forced to include the
obligatory elements of conventional thriller in the movie,
but they didn't do a good dramatic transition in that
direction. Our hero suddenly develops a crisis of
conscience, begins changing to moral and upstanding lawman
and finally, together with his new lover and crime-fighting
partner, takes care of the bad guys in a inevitable
showdown. The movie lacks real finale, and one, presented by
the movie, isn't cathartic enough to improve the final
impression. However, despite those shortcomings, THE BIG
EASY is great fun while it lasts.

Our History
Catholic Academy of Waterbury officially opened its doors on July 1, 2018. On August 27, 2018, we will welcome more than 300 students in grades Pre-K through 8th grade into their new school! Catholic Academy of Waterbury is a school within the Archdiocese of Hartford, but is led locally by its Pastors, Very Rev. Christopher Ford, Pastor of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception Church, and Rev. Roberto McCarthy, Pastor of Blessed Sacrament Church, and Principal, Mr. Jonathan DeRosa.
Catholic Academy of Waterbury is a heritage school of Blessed Sacrament School and St. Mary School. After years of uncertainty at both schools due to infrastructure and financial concerns at St. Mary School and a decreasing enrollment at Blessed Sacrament School, the decision was made to officially close the doors of both schools. The closure of these schools, though, paved the way for Catholic Academy of Waterbury, which is located on Robinwood Rd. on the old Blessed Sacrament School campus. The traditions and culture of both schools will live on at Catholic Academy of Waterbury for many years to come!

Donny Osmond Says Marie Is 'Happier Than Ever', Denies Adoption Rumors
Pop Eater
by Rob Shuter
May 17, 2011
"I knew they were back together but had to keep it a secret," Donny told me over the phone on Friday. "My sister is happier than ever and I'm happy her son got to witness it. It's so nice to see her happy again."
And responding to a National Enquirer claim that his 51-year-old sister is looking to have another child, Donny said "no, she is not adopting a baby."
Donny admits his sister has been through a lot recently. Her wedding date (May 4) marked the birthdays of both Marie's late son Michael and late mother Olive. That said, Donny said married life will not slow them down.
"We signed on to perform six weeks at the Flamingo in Vegas and three years later we are still there," Donny laughs, adding that he's as surprised as anybody that the show has been such a monster hit.
He explains that when they started, the siblings put so much of their own money into it that everyone thought they were nuts. "We were told we were going to lose money but we stuck to our guns and made a splash."
They put everything into the show and now are having the last laugh.
"Lots of artists have tricks or gimmicks, but when it gets down to it the quality of the music determines how long you work," Donny says, before admitting, "and I am the first to say we did a lot of schlock over the years."
Aside from the stage hit, the singing duo have just released 'Donny & Marie,' their first studio album together in 30 years. Donny said that it wasn't as easy putting an album together after such a long layoff.
"It's tough working together and not being in charge anymore," he said. "We have both had separate careers for so long and we both wanted to do it our way. We started with over 200 songs and narrowed it down. It would have been easy to slap together a CD and ride the wave but it actually took a long time to record."
Their secret to success and longevity in this notoriously fickle business? "Our faith has kept us both grounded. Kept us on a path. We don't jump on the latest trend."
Last week I spoke to the two young stars of the hit musical 'The Book of Mormon,' who offered an "open invitation" to both Donny and Marie to come see the controversial-but-Tony-nominated show. Donny tells me he'll probably pass on the invite and explains why he and Marie steer clear of divisive issues and don't speak out about their political beliefs.
"We are not politicians," he explains. "We have beliefs and vote certain ways but we are entertainers. We are trying to get people to like us. If you get involved in politics you lose half your audience. I love what I do but it's a business."
