Tonight's episode of Heroes will kinda-sorta cap off the season. But will it answer all of our nagging questions from this year? Maybe, maybe not. Here's a score card, so you can tick them off as they're answered. Or not.
Why did the company keep the deadliest virus in the universe on ice for 30 years? I know they're evil, but how dumb are they? Also, what exactly is that virus? Is it just another derivation of Mohinder's sister's blood, or something else?
How exactly did Sylar lose his powers, and how does he think Mohinder can help him? Was it just Hiro's samurai sword, or did Sylar get the Shanti virus and somehow not die? How on Earth did Sylar get from the bunker in the middle of the jungle to the roadside in the Mexico desert anyway?
Is Claire a robot or an alien after all? Who stole her damn car? More importantly, how exactly can she blow the whistle on the Company without confusing the heck out of everybody?
What exactly was Mohinder and Noah's plan to bring the Company down? Are they still carrying it out, or did Mohinder really switch sides?
Why did Angela Petrelli try to take the fall for the murder of George Takei and the others? Was it just to keep regular folks from knowing all about their mutant superpowers, or was there something else?
What did Adam get up to in the 400 years between the Kyoto stuff and the present day? Once Hiro was gone, why didn't he just go and conquer Japan after all?
What exactly were those pills the Company was giving Peter when they had him locked up? Did they actually negate Peter's powers? If so, then why does the Company need to work on a "vaccine" for superpowers? Why doesn't the Company just dose every mutant it comes across? If the pills weren't negating Peter's powers, what were they? Downers?
Whatever happened to those ipods that were supposed to be in Peter's shipping container?

2017 Lincoln Continental Reserve
Lincoln newly revived Continental has big shoes to fill
Words by: Adam Allen
Lincoln's resurgence is going swimmingly, isn't it?
The few cars we've tested from the brand recently (MKZ and MKX) certainly communicate the feeling that Lincoln is shaking off the doldrums of years shrouded in complacency while marching a determined path back to greatness. Interior quality is markedly better that what we have been used to in years past, there are new powertrains exclusive to Lincoln products and the differentiation between them and the Fords on which they're based is appreciably widening. When the announcement came that they revived the hallowed Continental nameplate, we immediately signed up for a Road Test to see what's what with the new flagship.
Even something as simple as climbing into the Continental is an experience to be savored.
If it's nighttime, LED lights fore and aft slowly awaken from their slumber to full brightness as you approach while the Lincoln logo is projected onto the tarmac below the doors. It's those doors that have been re-imagined to great effect; your hand fits perfectly on polished silver handles that integrate neatly into the beltline. There's a capacitive switch on the inside that releases the doors from their latch position electronically with the help of a gently calibrated spring loaded mechanism. Swing the door open and you'll notice a commodious opening allowing for effortless ingress while the scent of buttery leather hits your nostrils. Your eyes sweep over the inside of the door panels which are expertly finished in contrasting leather hides and absolutely gorgeous steampunk inspired metal speaker grilles covering the Revel speakers we have come to love each time we've experienced it. Settle into the 30 (!) way power seats and pull the door closed- the same electronics that assist in opening the door ensure they latch snugly during the last few inches of its travel. Once that process is complete, the mirrors unfold silently perched on their delicate chrome pedestals. It's a good sign of things to come and we never tired of it.
Once your settled inside, does it still feel special?
The roster of vehicles the Continental will compete against is a lengthy one, running the gamut from the Hyundai Genesis G90 to the Audi A7 and many more in between. Going toe-to-toe with the established players in the category means that the Continental had better be equipped for battle in order to stand out among some seriously good cars. We think Lincoln has endowed the Conti with the right tools to achieve success, and it starts with the seats. They're trimmed in fragrant, supple leather as you'd expect. Our tester had the Perfect Position 30-way power seat option, which offers a staggering amount of customization for any body type imaginable. It's pretty much impossible that you won't be able to find a comfortable position in these thrones. Feeling stressed after a long day? They'll knead your back and butt as vigorously as you like so you arrive at your destination feeling loose and refreshed. There's also the marvelous Revel stereo we've raved about in other Lincolns, and most of the cars functions are controlled by the excellent Sync3 infotainment system which means that the majority of Continental owners might never consult their owner's manual to figure out how to use it. The example you see here also had the Rear Seat Package ($5,000.) If someone takes care of driving duties for you, this pricey option makes a lot of sense. It allows for incredible comfort and gargantuan amounts of leg and foot room that will help any CEO decompress after a long day at the salt mines and it comes with its own folding control panel that allows for audio sources and climate control settings to be manipulated according to the occupant's taste. Everything is tied together by thoughtful trim materials, outstanding build quality and a sense of elegance. It certainly makes for a nice place to while away the kilometers and is certainly a welcome change from the austere, coal bin inspired interiors we've become accustomed to from some of its German competition. And, nothing from those Germans imparts a feeling of old school grandeur the way the Conti does. Our Midnight Blue Sapphire on Cappuccino leather tester lent a sense of occasion every time we pulled up somewhere, making us feel a little dignitary-like. Some people even remarked how they presumed it was a Rolls Royce before they saw the badging, a comment that will make those toiling in Lincoln's marketing department swoon in appreciation.
What about the oily bits?
All Lincoln's efforts to polish up the stuff you see and touch would have been for naught if the car drove sloppily. Luckily the engineers brought their A-game to setting up the chassis and drivetrain, too. Although the Continental rides on the same CD4 platform as the Ford Fusion, it sure feels more upscale than the family sedan on which it's based. The suspension has been artfully tuned for comfort- there are few cars that can match its delicious ride- and yet there's none of the marshmallow softness or nautical body roll that used to define Lincoln's flagships. Most impacts don't upset the car whatsoever as it discreetly sops up the nastiness from the lumpy tarmac we drove it on. Under the hood is a twice turbocharged 3.0 litre V6 that makes an equal 400 horsepower and pounds feet of torque. While it's extremely hard to fault an engine that churns out 400 horsepower, especially as smoothly as it does in the Continental, but the effortless waft provided by a big displacement V8 just isn't the same as even the most muscular 6-cylinder mills. The 6-speed transmission is a good match for the blown six, but we'd notice a sort of strain followed by a surge in power delivery when called upon to perform a pass on a two-lane road. Nothing overtly off-putting, but a bit strange nonetheless. All-wheel drive keeps everything nice and secure.
What might go wrong?
While we do applaud Lincoln for a solid effort in making a car worthy of carrying the Continental name, there are a few issues we wouldn't mind seeing addressed as the car winds is way throughout the first few years of production. First, we'd like to see the throttle calibration softened just a bit. A car like this should never feel rushed or edgy, but there were times where the Continental surged forward when we only asked for a graceful creep. Also, where the drivetrain is concerned, we wonder if it might be wise for Lincoln to abandon its 6-speed gearbox in favor of the peerless ZF 8-speeder you see so widely used across the luxury car space. The last gripe we have is a very minor nit to pick, and it's the plainness of the digital dash. It shows the driver all the information he or she would ever need concisely, it's just that when you see what's possible from other manufactures and their digital displays- vibrant colors and crisp resolution, for starters- we wonder if Lincoln might have missed an opportunity to jazz up the instrument panel, something an owner's eyes will pass over each time they drive their Continental.
Should I buy a Lincoln Continental?
Are you one of those people who wistfully recalls piling into their father's Continental and every journey felt special? We have no doubt that more than a few of Continental buyers will be at least somewhat motivated by nostalgia when they head to their local dealership for a test drive. There are also going to be those that are just tired of the predictability of the usual suspects that the Continental will compete against and want something that isn't the same as all the other cars parked in the office parking lot. For those who couldn't fathom putting a Lincoln in their driveway, much less a Continental, ought to give it a closer look. After returning the Continental upon completion of our Road Test, we can confidently conclude that Lincoln has done a fine job of filling those big shoes nicely.

Snowed-In and Staying Healthy: How to Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle during a Winter Storm
This winter has been one for the books! There's already been record-breaking snowfall to-date, and with temperatures so low that even Niagara Falls is freezing over, it's needless to say that there is concern for even more winter storms to come. Being stuck at home due to snow and ice could be used as an excuse to crawl into bed, arms full of unhealthy food choices - don't let it! Take being snowed-in as a great opportunity to discover new ways to be active and healthy. Keep reading for some tips to keep up a healthy lifestyle the next time winter keeps you at home!
Stay Active Indoors
Just because you can't drive to the gym, doesn't mean you can't get in a great workout at home! There are tons of ways to turn your home into a gym- just get creative. For example, stairs make for a great cardio workout that can be used to strengthen multiple muscle groups. You could also set up a small circuit workout in the living room! There's so much you can do to get active inside; find more ideas here.
Play in the Snow
There are so many fun outdoor activities you can take part in on a snow day! As long as it's safe outside, there are endless ways to get your body moving right in your back yard. You can take a walk with your family, make a snowman or even have a snowball fight. You'll be having so much fun, you won't even realize you're getting in a workout!
Stock-up on Canned Produce
Contrary to common beliefs, canned produce is just as healthy and nutritious as fresh produce- sometimes even more so! Because canning produce allows for picking at the peak of nutrition, the fruits and vegetables have all the vitamins and minerals you need. The canning process also makes the contents non-perishable, so they're great to have on-hand in case the power goes out in a winter storm- just be sure to rinse them off first! So don't be afraid of canned produce- it's actually ideal for this time of year!
Cook Ahead of Time
When the forecast calls for a snow day, instead of stocking up on bread and milk, buy ingredients for healthy and filling meals. You can cook meals in large batches ahead of time to ensure that you and your family have nutritious food to eat during the snow-in. Some great ideas are turkey chili, bean soup or a stir-fry (This website has tons of healthy stir-fry ideas). Any healthy meal will work, as long as it makes good leftovers!
Take your Juice Plus+
A surefire way to stay healthy during a winter storm (or anytime really) is to take your Juice Plus+ Orchard, Garden and Vineyard Blend Capsules! They're a great way to get your full servings of fruits and vegetables for the day, even if you can't get out of the house!
Do you have any tips for staying active and healthy while stuck inside? Let us know in the comments!

How to Contact the People Who Sent Militarized Police to Standing Rock
by Emily Fuller
Posted November 5, 2016
There have been a lot of questions surrounding the influx of military style troops and equipment to the Standing Rock Sioux tribal area in North Dakota. In August, North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple declared a state of emergency in response to the growing Dakota Access pipeline protests, and Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier has invoked the Emergency Management Assistance Compact, calling on police resources from six surrounding states.
On Thursday, police executed a particularly violent sweep of a camp that left structures destroyed, more than 140 people arrested, cars impounded and others burning on the side of the road. The highly militarized response—armored vehicles and heavy weaponry—was recorded by many people caught in the assault. More…

The Path to Total Dictatorship: America's Shadow Government and Its Silent Coup
By John W. Whitehead
Posted October 26, 2016
Unaffected by elections. Unaltered by populist movements. Beyond the reach of the law. Say hello to America's shadow government.
A corporatized, militarized, entrenched bureaucracy that is fully operational and staffed by unelected officials who are, in essence, running the country, this shadow government represents the hidden face of a government that has no respect for the freedom of its citizenry. No matter which candidate wins the presidential election, this shadow government is here to stay. Indeed, as recent documents by the FBI reveal, this shadow government—also referred to as "The 7th Floor Group"—may well have played a part in who will win the White House this year. More…
Fukushima Radiation Has Contaminated The Entire Pacific Ocean – And It's Going To Get Worse
Fukushima Radiation Has Contaminated The Entire Pacific Ocean – And It's Going To Get Worse
By Whitney Webb
Posted October 4, 2016
What was the most dangerous nuclear disaster in world history? Most people would say the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine, but they'd be wrong. In 2011, an earthquake, believed to be an aftershock of the 2010 earthquake in Chile, created a tsunami that caused a meltdown at the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima, Japan.
Three nuclear reactors melted down and what happened next was the largest release of radiation into the water in the history of the world. Over the next three months, radioactive chemicals, some in even greater quantities than Chernobyl, leaked into the Pacific Ocean. However, the numbers may actually be much higher as Japanese official estimates have been proven by several scientists to be flawed in recent years. Radioactive Debris from Fukushima approaching North America's western coast. More…

No one knows for sure what will happen over the next 43 days to impact the outcome of this highly improbable race between a reality TV star parody and a walking corpse propped up by her establishment cronies in the media, Wall Street, military industrial complex and smoke filled backrooms of D.C.
The sole focus of both campaigns is to disparage and destroy their opponent. The negative attack ads will fill TV screens 24/7 for the remainder of this scorched earth fight to the death. The debates will be nasty and venomous, with accusations being hurled maliciously and with gusto. The corporate press corp., being the mouthpieces for the establishment, has done their utmost to scorn, ridicule and attempt to derail Trump's march to the presidency.
The former middle class citizens of this country aren't sure who screwed them over because they have been busy trying to make a living, while simultaneously being distracted by iGadgets, 700 cable TV stations, social media, sports and myriad of other bread and circus diversions. They've been brainwashed to believe the two organized political parties offer them a choice. The two parties are co-conspirators in the creation of this welfare/warfare empire of debt. More…
Why You Should Be Paying Attention to America's Quiet War on Cash
Why You Should Be Paying Attention to America's Quiet War on Cash
by Shaun Bradley
Posted September 9, 2016
Government campaigns of intimidation — like the wars on drugs, terror, and poverty — have been used to extort the public for decades. Despite the previous failures of institutional "wars," a new war on cash is being waged that threatens freedom in a more subversive way than ever before.
Banks and governments around the world are cracking down on the use of paper money, and in turn, eliminating any anonymity left in the current system. Through strict rules on cash transactions and civil asset forfeiture laws, for example, the system has already instituted penalties for using cash. But as payments evolve into a purely digital network, the consequences of this new paradigm are being brought into the spotlight. More…
The Real Drug Lords: A brief history of CIA involvement in the Drug Trade
The Real Drug Lords: A brief history of CIA involvement in the Drug Trade
By William Blum
Posted August 27, 2016
ClA-supported Moujahedeen rebels engaged heavily in drug trafficking while fighting against the Soviet-supported govemment and its plans to reform the very backward Afghan society. The Agency's principal client was Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, one of the leading druglords and leading heroin refiner. CIA supplied trucks and mules, which had carried arms into Afghanistan, were used to transport opium to laboratories along the Afghan Pakistan border.
The output provided up to one half of the heroin used annually in the United States and three-quarters of that used in Western Europe. US officials admitted in 1990 that they had failed to investigate or take action against the drug operabon because of a desire not to offend their Pakistani and Afghan allies. In 1993, an official of the DEA called Afghanistan the new Colombia of the drug world. More…

There's no doubt that supply chain and logistics issues are critical to any company's success. But dramatic improvements don't always involve large-scale strategic overhauls or process changes that require months to implement.
Here are 10 smaller, less daunting ways to improve logistics processes, from Rayford Collins, a supply chain optimization expert with UPS Customer Solutions.
1. Rethink transportation modes and routes. "Small parcel carriers can often provide a cost savings on multi-piece shipments that don't involve a full pallet or multiple pallets," Collins says. "Look at small parcel vs. LTL carrier or LTL vs. truckloads to understand the price differentials for various weight and zone break points. Changing the routing or mode of shipments can pay off, especially for midmarket shippers."
2. Put fast movers close to the shipping station. Make sure your A and B movers are properly located to allow for minimum processing time and distance to the outbound shipping lanes. "Place those fast movers carefully. If they are all in the same aisle or location, you can create a bottleneck as employees run into each other doing the pick."
3. Position inventory strategically. Companies shipping from more than one location would want A & B movers in each, but D movers in just one, to keep inventory carrying costs down. "If you decide you need to have 100 D movers, put them where the warehouse space and labor costs are lowest," Collins says. "That can reduce your inbound shipping cost, too."
4. Keep boxes and packing material close at hand. "Anything you can do to reduce steps in the warehouse is important," Collins says. For example, keeping boxes, tape and packing materials at the shipping workstation helps your employees avoid walking five or 10 feet to pull a box, or go somewhere else for the bubble wrap.
5. Pick into the actual shipping box. When possible, have employees pick into a pre-labelled shipping box to save time processing orders, Collins says. This option works best when most orders will fit in standard-size boxes.
6. Add wireless mobile printers. Many companies outfit warehouse staff with wearable label printers that combine two steps into one, Collins says. "When an employee picks items that are prepackaged and ready to ship, the system is programmed to print a shipping label as soon as the item is scanned."
7. Hold pre-work communication meetings (PCMs). Two or three minutes before the shift starts, have a brief meeting with your shipping/warehouse employees and outline specific goals for that day. The meetings can be especially effective if you have a heavy day ahead, reminding workers to stay focused and motivated. Also, always end with a safety reminder.
8. Drop-ship from suppliers. A major trend in controlling transportation cost and saving time is shipping direct from your manufacturer or supplier to the customer, using third-party billing. "When a supplier ships direct using your UPS account number, you get the benefit of managing your transportation decisions of carrier selection, leveraging your transportation spend, while reducing your inbound and outbound transportation costs."
9. Consider on-demand packaging. Rightsizing packaging is more critical than ever now that dimensional weight is an industry standard. "With on-demand packaging, a machine die cuts the right size box for each order from rolls of corrugated board," Collins says. The payoffs: Reduced packaging and transportation costs, as well as enhanced sustainability, an increasingly important consideration for customers.
10. Improve end-to-end visibility. Relatively inexpensive, cloud-based technology now allows you to have near real-time awareness of when inbound shipments will arrive, so you can gear up as needed or respond quickly to delays that off-put customers. Similarly, technology can let you track when an order has been processed, picked, packed and shipped, and send a tracking number to your customer. "The end result is a better customer experience, especially when they can manage their own delivery."
As the saying goes, "results may vary." But Collins says that companies can save in transportation costs with a review by the UPS Customer Solutions group.
"If we are doing a full-scale supply chain analysis, including facility optimization and throughput, we tend to see 10 to 15 percent savings in the overall supply chain budget," he says.

TNT Greenlights "Deadlier Than the Male" (wt)
Starring Lily Rabe (American Horror Story)
and Amy Brenneman (The Leftovers)
Executive Produced by Bruna Papandrea (Big Little Lies)
And Creator Harriet Warner (Call the Midwife)
Turner's TNT has given a series greenlight to Deadlier Than the Male (working title), an intense, morally complex thriller about three damaged people trying to start over. Lily Rabe (American Horror Story), Enrique Murciano (Without A Trace), Hamish Linklater (Fantastic Four), Chiara Aurelia (Pretty Little Liars) and Amy Brenneman (The Leftovers) star in the suspense drama. The series is being produced by Bruna Papandrea's Made Up Stories and Turner's Studio T, and executive-produced by Bruna Papandrea (Big Little Lies); Harriet Warner (Call the Midwife, Mistresses), who wrote the script; and Casey Haver of Made Up Stories. Houda Benyamina (Divines) directed the pilot. The series will begin production this summer in New Orleans.
Deadlier Than the Male centers on a trio of characters each with a mysterious and troubling past, including Emma (Rabe), a young woman who once looked into the eyes of a dangerous killer, John (Linklater), a former serial predator desperate to find redemption and Mary (Brenneman), a grieving mother obsessed with finding her missing daughter. As each of them is pushed to the edge, the truth about their pasts and motives grows ever murkier, blurring the lines between victim and perpetrator.
"Deadlier Than the Male is the holy grail of complicated female characters with a thrilling, layered storyline that will excite and shock audiences." said Sarah Aubrey, executive vice president of original programming for TNT. "Harriet Warner, Bruna Papandrea, Houda Benyamina, Lily Rabe and Amy Brenneman are truly a dream team who have brought their brilliant creativity and talent to this mystery series."
"I couldn't be more thrilled for Made Up Stories first tv series to have such incredible women behind and in front of the camera." said Bruna Papandrea. "Harriet Warner is a sublime talent. Houda Benyamina is a filmmaking force to be reckoned with and it has already been an amazing experience collaborating with this great cast and the incredible team at TNT."

Former Tiger Remembers His Glory Road
Thornton Jenkins recalls memories of basketball history.
On March 19, 1966, Thornton Jenkins missed his 23rd wedding anniversary.
Jenkins, BS Ed, M Ed '48, was on a business trip of sorts to College Park, Md., almost a thousand miles away from his Columbia home and his wife, Mickie. Then an MU purchasing agent, he moonlighted as a basketball referee, and he'd been asked to officiate at the NCAA men's basketball Final Four, including the national championship game between Kentucky and Texas Western.
That night at Cole Field House, Texas Western coach Don Haskins decided to start five African‐American players against Adolph Rupp's entirely white Wildcats team, a first in NCAA championship history. Texas Western won 72–65, and that final score came to signify another victory in the ongoing civil rights movement as well as a turning point for the sport. Fifty years later, Disney made a movie about the game called Glory Road.
So, on that March 19, Jenkins got to be part of something timeless.
He has told the story many times in the years since. During a recent conversation in his apartment at Lenoir Woods senior living community, the 89‐year‐old man called the game a highlight of his officiating career.
But if he ever romanticized the historic event or his part in it, he doesn't anymore.
"It developed only by chance," Jenkins said. "It wasn't planned that way."
Mickie Jenkins had understood what the game would personally mean to her husband before Don Haskins ever decided on his starting lineup. Getting selected to officiate a national championship was a big deal, and it was his first. She was happy for him, and she did not resent his absence on their anniversary. There would be others.
And there were — they celebrated another 46 in the years to come, and this March 19 would have been their 70th.
Mickie Jenkins died in November at age 88. Her framed picture atop a TV stand catches the eye in Jenkins' immaculate but anonymous apartment. He moved in just a month ago, alone.
A former Missouri basketball player and assistant coach who married his wife while they were students, Jenkins said his only daughter arranged his move to Lenoir Woods before she returned to her home in Baltimore. He is very grateful.
"All I had to do was walk in and start living," he said.
He is trying. The picture of his wife is located next to the flat screen TV on which Jenkins has watched this year's NCAA tournament. Asked about the why's and how's of the past, he spoke more readily on why Kansas got knocked out early and how Wichita State, Syracuse and Michigan surprisingly made the Final Four. He said he couldn't remember such a clear‐cut favorite like top‐seeded Louisville, who beat Michigan 82–76 in the national championship Monday night.
"I don't think it'll be much of competition, but who knows?" he said last week. "That's why they play. Teams that are not supposed to win do win."
Texas Western was not supposed to beat Kentucky — at least, not in Glory Road, which Thornton owns and enjoys. Disney, he said, "made a movie out of it" by distorting the odds against the Miners. One obstacle played up in the movie, for example, is center David Lattin's foul trouble. While in reality Lattin did pick up four fouls, he still played 32 minutes, scored 16 points and grabbed nine rebounds. And though Kentucky was the top‐seeded team, Texas Western had lost just one game all season and overpowered Kentucky with its size. You could have cued the credits when the Miners took a 12–11 lead early on — they never trailed again.
"It was a very uneventful game," Jenkins said. "Kentucky just got beat. They didn't have any big kids, and that was the difference in the game. [The Miners] were bigger, and they were stronger. They played better."
Officiating was one way for Jenkins to continue his relationship with basketball even after his playing days were over. He earned all‐Big 6 Conference honors as a sophomore in 1942–43 before marrying Mickie and joining the Army. When World War II ended, he returned to Missouri and played his final two seasons, earning all‐conference honors again and captaining the 1947–48 team.
"I was an old‐timer by then," Jenkins said.
After playing professionally for a few years, he went to work for his father-in-law's car dealership near Cape Girardeau and began officiating in 1952. In 1955 he moved back to Columbia with his wife and daughter, Spring, BS Ed '67. His full‐time work evolved from assistant basketball coach (1957–1962) to purchasing agent and, then, director of the university's physical plant before he ultimately got into real estate.
But until 1971, officiating was the one constant that connected him to the basketball community, even if it meant traveling frequently and spending time away from his wife. The very next morning after officiating the Texas Western‐Kentucky game, Jenkins flew to Denver and officiated the weeklong AAU national tournament. He also officiated at the 1968 Final Four in Los Angeles.
"Every chance I got, wherever they wanted to send me, that's where I went," he said. "It was not easy to stay away that much, but that was part of my life, and I did it because I loved to do it. My wife tolerated it because she was aware of that fact."
He misses her. It's evident in the way a recent conversation kept returning to her before fading to silence. Nice memories from long ago lead to more recent, painful ones.
A decade before the Texas Western‐Kentucky game, while assisting Missouri basketball coach Sparky Stalcup, he suggested bringing a recent graduate back as the freshman coach.
"Sparky asked who we should hire, and I said, 'What about Norm Stewart?' " Jenkins said.
"I figure Norm to be a close friend. We stay in touch."
Maybe three seconds pass before he continues. He doesn't change the subject so much as simply follow a memory to its conclusion.
Jenkins might be a bastion for fascinating history lessons like the 1966 national championship. But you can't help but notice it seems like trivia to him now.
"I was married for 69 years," he repeats. "My wife passed away in November."

Ep. 31: DJ Jolene Crafts Her Dream Career By Making People Dance
"When I started out, I tried to deny my female side a lot. I was trying to run with the boys too much and I wish that I would have really celebrated and advertised my femaleness being a plus rather than a minus early on in my career."
In this episode, DJ Jolene shares her fascinating life story and career. From a religious upbringing in which her school forbid dancing, to studying religion and philosophy at Oxford, to embracing her true passion -- making people dance -- Jolene's path will inspire you to do what you love.
We talk with Jolene on her interesting career path, quitting her job to follow her dream, dealing with gender bias and ageism, balancing career and motherhood, and more!
"I reached a point in my career where I knew that if I were to get promoted, I would never do what I really wanted to do in life and that really scared me...I knew I had to do it. It was kind of a now or never moment...this life can be quite short sometimes, so you have to follow your passions now in the moment instead of waiting."

Controversy Surrounds Changes to Psychiatric Manual
The American Psychiatric Association is revising its manual of psychiatric diseases. But the process has been mired in controversy. Last week, a panel of doctors took the unusual step of withdrawing proposals for two newly created psychiatric disorders. House Doctor Brian Goldman has the story.

Radiotherapy research is complex and challenging, both academically and practically. The NCRI undertook its first review of radiotherapy and associated radiobiology research in 2003, where radiotherapy and radiobiology research was identified as underfunded and variable in quality. The report resulted in a number of actions, the most substantial of which was the establishment of the Cancer Research UK and Medical Research Council Oxford Institute for Radiation Oncology (formerly the Gray Institute for Radiation Oncology and Biology in Oxford).
A group of NCRI research funders and experts met in April 2008 to consider and update the actions from the first review in 2003 and produced a rapid review of research in radiotherapy and radiobiology with a ten-point action plan.
As a result, the NCRI Board agreed to establish a new Clinical and Translational Radiotherapy Research Working Group (CTRad) in November 2008 with Professor Tim Maughan as the first Chairman. The group was formally launched in July 2009.

I love all things Italian, the language, the food, the culture, the art, the people and the passion with which they approach life. Italy isn't perfect but where is? So with this in mind I decided to do something that I'd always wanted to do, take a driving holiday around Italy.You can visit http://www.traveloveitaly.com/ to know more about driving holiday in Italy.
I booked my flights, car and accommodation on the internet and bought myself a learn Italian CD for me to listen too in my car at home for the four weeks before I went. Although I knew the very basics of the Italian language I didn't want to find myself high and dry in Italy if a disaster befell me. I soon realized that I'd need a book or two to help me with my learning.
I landed in Milan Malpensa, a lovely airport if not a little large and confusing. Trying to find the car hire depot was interesting.
With all the paperwork for the car completed it was time to confront the Milanese traffic systems which is basically nose to bumper traffic. The horror stories of Italian driving had been ringing in my ears for the past few weeks so I sent off not knowing to expect.
As it turned out there was nothing at all to worry about, other than the traffic, which was no better or worse than the traffic in any major European city the driving was fine.

Did you miss WRAG's 2015 Annual Meeting, "Philanthropy All In," or just want to relive some of the highlights? Videos from the meeting are now available! You can watch Dr. David Williams's keynote speech on racism, followed by Holly Bass's powerful performance piece; Jennifer Bradley's presentation on the "metropolitan revolution," followed by a panel of regional respondents; and WRAG president Tamara Lucas Copeland's update to the membership.
VETERANS/MARYLAND | The Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services announced that the county has reached what is known as "functional zero" in its number of homeless veterans. This indicates that the county has enough funding and supportive resources in place for veterans who may become homeless in the future. (Bethesda Magazine, 12/16)

– New federal data finds that the national high school graduation rate has hit an all-time high with 82 percent of students finishing on time in 2013-2014. You can also see how the region compares to the rest of the country (WaPo, 12/15):
Locally, Maryland (86.4 percent) and Virginia (85.3 percent) were above average. The District had a graduation rate below the national average, at 61.4 percent.
HOUSING/DISTRICT | New study shows how costly D.C. apartments are (WaPo, 12/16)

The other night my good friend & fellow cryptoenthusiast Ryan Shea suggested we head to a new Bitcoin meetup neither of us had been to before. I agreed to meet him there, and though the conversation was stimulating, much of the experience was pretty demeaning.I'm really glad she shared her experience!
Perhaps this would be a good time to recall Warren Buffet's comment that one of the reasons for his great success was that he was only competing with half of the population. We can view it as an opportunity. Being underestimated can be a surprisingly effective tool in the appropriate context, but perhaps that's just me being overly optimistic. I know many women, many of whom are far smarter than I am, who would have felt seriously out of place there. Would they go back to the next meet up? I doubt it. If the organizer of the meetup makes people feel so unwelcome, it sets the tone for the rest of the conversation.
I'm not bringing these comments up because my feelings were hurt, and the last thing I need is sympathy. I'm also not concerned that one particular guy thinks women couldn't possibly know about Bitcoin, or that another grabbed at me, but unfortunately this is representative of a larger trend. The current generation of hackathon organizers (largely led by the singular efforts of Dave Fontenot —hellllllyeah) is making a concerted effort to encourage the participation of women at their events, and while I've still gotten my share of off-color comments, the situation is gradually improving.
I think my experience at the meetup is worth sharing because Bitcoin lies at the heart of both finance and tech, two industries that carry tremendous weight and which have traditionally struggled to attract women. Given the events of the other night, this is hardly surprising. I am undeterred and if anything will be even more proactive about attending these events. In my mind, it's a little preposterous that if I want to do so, however, I have to be ok with being felt up and indirectly insulted.

Armoured Vehicles Middle East 2018: Regional market report
Flexible Armoured Vehicle Fleets and Regional Coalition Vital to Combat Daesh Threat in the Middle East
In this article, Defence IQ analyses the role of flexible armoured vehicle fleets and regional coalition in the fight to combat Daesh in the Middle East
Armoured Vehicles Middle East - Trends & Analysis Report 2016
Defence IQ's Armoured Vehicles Middle East - Trends & Analysis Report 2016 is now available to download without charge.This report offers a digestible guide to the latest AV market trends in the Middle East including a comparison with the world at large and the perspectives of industry professionals and military personnel within this domain.
Armoured Vehicles Middle East Market Research & Requirements Report 2016
The Middle East, together with the APAC region, is expected to boost vehicle procurement volumes significantly over the next ten years and offset anticipated reductions in the US and Europe. The Middle East accounts for over 10.% of armoured vehicle fleets in the world, with active procurement programmes in Algeria, Bahrain, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and the UAE. The region is forecast to continue increasing its spending on armoured vehicles until at least the end of the decade. This report analyses the currently holdings in the region and evaluates the future requirements.
Future MENA Armoured Vehicle Requirements
"The continuing evolution of regular and asymmetric threats, from both state and non-state actors, threatens the ability of MENA's armed forces to continue projecting capabilities; this also poses a threat in the delivering of security and stability in a region severely lacking both. Traditionally MENA military capabilities are either viewed either in relation to its deficiency in capable manpower, or in regards to its ability to procure modern and advanced weaponry…"
Read the latest analysis from Gulf State Analytics advisor Matthew Hedges on how pressures in the Middle East and North Africa are impacting regional armoured vehicle requirements, from the conflict in Yemen to the evolving challenges presented by Daesh insurgents.
Middle Eastern Armoured Vehicles Annual Update
The Middle-East accounts for over 15.8 per cent of the world fleet (23,511), with active procurement programmes in Bahrain, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and increased spending on armoured vehicles forecast until at least the end of the decade. When it comes to the armoured vehicles market, the Middle Eastern market remains fragmented. The stronger economic powers in the region continue to modernise their inventories and expand their capabilities. On the other hand, many war-torn countries in the region do not contribute much overall to regional market demand or supply, being in a position of seeing a great deal of AFV activity but not actively shaping the commercial trends. View Defence IQ's Annual Update to gain insight in the Armoured Vehicles Market in the Middle East.

Great hotels in Europe for under £100
Europe on a shoestring: 30 best places by Alastair Sawday
The going is getting tougher. Incomes are going down, prices are going up and even short-haul flights are no longer bought for small change. So what happens to the family holiday in times like these? Having wonderful holidays without confining yourselves to chain hotels such as Travelodge and Novotel is possible. The selection here points the way.
All the places are easygoing, authentic, personality-driven, part of their community and see you as guests rather than clients. On my stays in some of these, I have been asked to help to bring in logs, lay the table, take the dog for a walk and make my own bed. Hoteliers are people, too: falling ill, having to attend to children, dealing with mechanical failures. I love the

Sotiris Mantas is the founder of the ΕΛ Coalition. His Coalition has accomplished a number of things, including being the very first Coalition in Sparta to reach the "Alastor's Way" Achievement. We decided to ask him some questions and see what he might have to teach the rest of us!
To start with, our Coalition name, "ΕΛ", comes from ancient Greek mythology. All of our members are great characters with passion and knowledge of the game. We all have strong will and reason to guide our emotions so we can excel at teamwork, which always brings us success. Success is just a goal, but the changes in my players while we're on our road to achieving it are truly remarkable. The team was created on April 12th, 2016, as a group of friends wanting to fill some of our empty hours with fun - and I believe we achieved that on the highest level!
All the achievements are hard and equally important for us but the Alastor's Way seemed to be the toughest one of all, and really tested us as a team. We did it and in doing that we became more united as a team than we had ever been... and we will achieve even more.
The hardest parts of earning the Alastor's Way Achievement were coordinating the hours of Attacks among our members. Sometimes we really had to push our limits but the result is very rewarding for us. I am very proud of it and of my team.
My advice to all is to follow the game rules and respect each other. Join a team, don't go it alone and try your best to put up a good fight and play fairly with all members of Sparta world. Share friendships and work together. That will open new roads towards your targets.
Allow me to save this part for all my Coalition members. I can tell you all with honesty that we are determined to accomplish everything in this game. Thank you for giving me the time to share with you a few but great memories of ΕΛ.
Sotiris, thank you for taking time to answer our questions. We wish you and your Coalition even more luck for the future (not that you need it)!

Will not power on from battery
I have a MacBook A1278 2.4GHz that will not power on from the battery or charge the battery. When I depress the power button it does nothing unless the Mag-Safe is connected and it will not charge the battery. I have 3 batteries and I have charged them in another MacBook, once my MacBook is booted up it shows them with 100% charge but if I power off it off and disconnect the Mag-Safe it will not power on from the battery. I have replaced the cable that connects the battery to the logic board and the problem still persists. There is no external or internal damage to my MacBook. When I connect the Mag-Safe to my MacBook the light turns green and if the battery is discharged it turns orange but does not charge the battery. There never has been any liquid spills to damage the laptop.

In today's competitive Ecommerce scene, every merchant is looking to optimize their webstore to maximize conversions. While the other components of the webstore such as UI/UX and the Checkout flow is well covered and much effort is undertaken to optimize it, payments are usually ignored as being only a utility. This could not be further from the truth as seamless and intuitive payments can help increase conversion rates significantly.
At Newgen we are constantly trying to bring innovative features to our merchants to boost their conversion. Working with our merchants, we have experienced first-hand that optimizing payments flow can significantly improve conversion rates and help in coming full circle towards a successful and thriving online business.
Among the most vital features that have helped our merchants grow their online business are:
Intelligent Transaction Routing
A declined payment is the ultimate lose-lose situation for both merchants and their customers. And there is a feeling of helplessness when the control of these failures is not with merchants, but with the payment processors. Newgen's technology puts merchants in the driving seat by enabling ITR so that they steer their own transactions. Newgen's proprietary algorithms optimize the transaction flow by finding the best ways to route payment requests through various payment acquirers. Each transaction is instantly analyzed and routed to the most suitable provider based on more than a dozen parameters.
Newgen uses a non-deterministic mathematical model to rank all the applicable acquirers for the given transaction using a slew of information including platform health and performance, historic track record, etc. We also take into account the priorities set by the merchant to arrive at the cost-optimized decision with the highest probability of success. Newgen's portal enables merchants to configure payment routing rules based on multiple parameters including currency, country, Credit Card BINs, etc. Merchants can save significant fees by processing the payment requests through Newgen platform.
Saving Transactions via Instant Payment Retry, Second Chance and Continue Shopping
The payment can fail due to many reasons such as internet connectivity issues, unavailable payment methods, insufficient balance or bank/acquirer failures. To prevent the customer from the hassle of going through the whole process again, we provide Instant Payment Retry within the same order.
Many a times the customer needs to change the order at the time of payment. The customer now has to abandon the current payment, go through the store to re-add the items to cart and try paying again. All this pain is prevented by adding Newgen's unique "Continue Shopping" feature on the payment page, using which the customer can easily return to the cart without losing any items. Hence, no customer dropouts!
Should the customer decide to abandon the transaction or decide to pay later, Newgen's "Second Chance" feature notifies the customer regarding the pending transaction and helps complete the sale without any intervention or extra administrative effort from the merchant .
Smart Checkout via Dynamic Payment Page Builder A/B & Multivariate Testing
Newgen's cutting-edge plug-and-play payments technology that gives the merchants complete control over their checkout process to maximize their conversions. It offers fully-responsive, cross-device compatible checkout pages with flexible designs to give customers the best user experience possible. These pages are multilingual and multicurrency by design and dynamically detect the language and currency to deliver a seamless experience and generate trust in the merchant brand.
The interactive and easy to use "Payment Page Builder" is used to build these pages. It enables merchants to create, edit, preview and activate their custom-designed payment pages in less than a minute without needing any design/development skills. This way merchants can design multiple payment pages for various websites, seasons, festivals etc.
A/B & Multivariate testing allows merchants to create several payment page designs and run experiments to identify the pages with the best conversion rates. Our Smart Page ranking algorithm will automatically detect the page that performs the best in an experiment, maximizing the checkout conversion rates.
Social Media Instant Buying, QR Code Payments and Direct Payment links
Merchants can easily embed "Buy Now" links into their social media campaigns, which their audience can click on for instant purchases and share their purchase seamlessly with their friends. This enables merchants to get more creative in promoting special sales and increases campaign conversion rates.
QR Code payments can be instantly launched and shared via the unique QR codes that bring interested visitors directly to a one-step Buy Now Page for instant purchase. These QR codes can be embedded into both online and offline settings to reach out to wider customers.
Merchants can also automatically send direct payment links to their customers in an email with their custom branding. Customers can easily complete their payments by clicking on the Pay Now link in the email, which takes them to a custom one-step payment page. Merchants get paid instantly and customers receive their invoices once the payment is successful.
All these unique features have significantly increased conversion rates for our merchants.
Reach out to us at email@example.com to know more about these features and to learn how we can help you optimize your payments to increase conversion rates.

A grand Moosling adventure
We set out for a bike ride together, the Moosling and I. I was thinking we'd head out along the Legacy Trail for a few kilometres and then turn back again. The longest ride he'd done on his own bike was just 6km or so. But once we started riding towards Banff, he was pretty adamant that he was going to ride the whole way there. We'd done it with him on the trail-a-bike plenty of times. And at least one of those times he'd been pedalling pretty much the whole way. I was a little short on snacks, but … Continue reading A grand Moosling adventure

When Mr Robertson and I were invited to spend a night at Ashford International Hotel, I must admit we were not expecting anything glamorous. Thinking the location would be the selling point – a short drive from the Eurostar at Ashford International station – we went along with open minds but low expectations.
Well, you know that old saying don't judge a book by its cover, that came to mind when we found out what is behind the less than inspiring name.
Because, the hotel, regardless of its name, literally offers brides and grooms everything they could wish for for their big day. Want a small, intimate wedding? The Courtyard Suite and the Garden Suite are ideal as they host just 50 people each for a wedding breakfast.

This year's OnePlus 6 will be one of the most anticipated phone of 2018, which is rumored to release in July. OnePlus today exclusively reached out The Verge to let the whole world know that the OnePlus 6 would feature a top notch and yeah we all have to deal with it.
OnePlus also provided the precise measurements for its upcoming notch 19.616mm x 7.687mm. The Company said that their notch will be bigger than the Essential Phone, smaller than the iPhone X.
We saw the implementation [of gestures] on the iPhone. Maybe it would have taken longer if Apple hadn't done it. Maybe not as fast. But we have access to the roadmaps of all the screen manufacturers, and when they gave us the opportunity to make cutouts at the top of the screen, it just made sense.

This is well worth a trip north from Copenhagen. We visited on a sunny Summer's day and the setting is superb, art set in beautiful buildings in lovely grounds with a gorgeous view of the sea. Many of the buildings are dug into the ground and all are modern except the old villa from 1856, around which the complex has respectfully grown.
The architecture should, I suggest, be studied by all architect students at University as the building is wonderfully contextual without being weak, contemporary and strong without overpowering the art, and simply sophisticated in its arrangement and articulation. If only some current architects obsessed with creating 'instant icons' could learn from this quiet way of forming space and form!

"The music seen in my hometown is cool, everybody's got their own following, their own style, and their own movement going on; I dig it."
Check out the interview with Big Toke exclusively on Skilly Magazine Online.
killy: How were you able to start your journey in the entertainment business? Where did this all start?
Big Toke: This all started in Orlando. My bro Lil Toke told me Preacher lived down the block so I went with him to see the studio. From there began meeting contacts. I was homeless for a while so I had to stop. When I got back up I hooked up with Loose Kannon Takeoff's people at Trackset Studios and his camera man Loc Deezy. I've been putting in work ever since.
What are some of the creative ways you use to promote your music?
I'd say by promoting my music in the trenches and getting it to the people that are now going through the same shit I was going through. When they see my real life and they hear my music they can see the realness.
What is the greatest challenge you face in today's entertainment business? How do you overcome them?
The greatest challenge in today's music business is getting it out to the masses. I overcome by coming with crazy new and different sounds, doing business with the right media outlets and blog distributers, and creating solid relationships with them.
How is the music scene like in your hometown? What do you like about it and what don't you like?
The music seen in my hometown is cool, everybody's got their own following, their own style, and their own movement going on; I dig it. If anything, I don't like how the city will support locals heavily from anywhere but Orlando; that shit's crazy.
Where do you think the future of music is going to be? How do you feel artists can be more a part of it?
I think the future of music is going to be Orlando. Other artists can be a part of it by fucking with local artists. Artists from the city can just keep working on their crafts and get into doing business with the right promoters, media outlets, and music distributers.
What advice can you give to other upcoming artists and musicians trying to achieve success?
Just stay on your grind, keep the pedal on the floor, and the guns to their head – ya dig?
What inspires you to write your next song?
My day one fans, people that have been jamming my mixtape since the day I dropped it and putting people onto it every day. I'm writing songs they want me to write science before I wrote songs I wanted them to hear.
What are the steps you take to make a song?
All this shit just pops up in my head while I'm living my everyday life going through my struggle. I'm just so different from everyone else, it's just that easy for me to create my songs.
What do you think makes a great song?
Lyrics. The word play. I don't count bars or nothing, I just listen to how the words are put together, then the flow, and the realness.

ACLU demands info on domestic military deployments
Following reports that US troops will be permanently on call to work inside the United States handling "civil unrest," "crowd control" and other functions traditionally carried out by civilian law enforcement agencies, activists are demanding to know why the Pentagon is reversing a longstanding prohibition on domestic deployment of the military.
The Department of Defense for the first time is assigning a full-time Army unit to be on call with Northern Command, which was created after Sept. 11 to facilitate military cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security in the event of another terrorist attack.
The American Civil Liberties Union is demanding more details on the domestic deployments, which appear to violate the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits use of the military to direct internal affairs of the US. The ACLU warns that without fully knowing the reasoning and justifications behind the Army's plan, the domestic deployments could be used to expand a militarized surveillance apparatus that already includes the National Security Agency's warrantless wiretapping program and DHS's plans to turn military spy satellites inside US borders.
This is a radical departure from separation of civilian law enforcement and military authority, and could, quite possibly, represent a violation of law, former FBI Agent Mike German, an ACLU national security policy counsel, said in a news release. Our Founding Fathers understood the threat that a standing army could pose to American liberty. While future generations recognized the need for a strong military to defend against increasingly capable foreign threats, they also passed statutory protections to ensure that the Army could not be turned against the American people. The erosion of these protections should concern every American.
The ACLU sent a nine page Freedom of Information Act request (pdf) to the Justice Department, Pentagon and DHS for documents related to the decision to deploy an army unit and outlining the unit's duties.
A report in the Army Times last month first brought the domestic deployment to light. The Army's 3rd Infantry Division 1st Brigade Combat Team became the first unit assigned permanently to Northern Command.
According to the Army Times report, the Team would be on-call to respond in the event of a natural disaster or terror attack anywhere in the country, or they could be used to "help with civil unrest and crowd control." But most of their time would be spent training for an expected return to either Iraq or Afghanistan in early 2010.
Some fear the possibility that the unit's training could serve a dual purpose if the soldiers were deployed domestically, although the Army is attempting to downplay those concerns.
The 1st BCTs soldiers also will learn how to use the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded, 1st BCT commander Col. Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them.
The package is for use only in war-zone operations, not for any domestic purpose.
Its a new modular package of nonlethal capabilities that theyre fielding. Theyve been using pieces of it in Iraq, but this is the first time that these modules were consolidated and this package fielded, and because of this mission were undertaking we were the first to get it.
The package includes equipment to stand up a hasty road block; spike strips for slowing, stopping or controlling traffic; shields and batons; and, beanbag bullets.
