Re-elect Manny Phesto: The Minneapolis rapper proves, once again, he's the people's champion
My neighbor has a seaweed-green campaign sign staked in his front lawn that's been there so long that the corrugated plastic is chipping. The brome shoots grow six inches tall around its base. You gotta brush them aside to read the slogan.
"Manny Phesto: For Minnesota," it reads.
The mailman has asked me about the sign a half-dozen times. So has my brother-in-law. They'd seen similar graphics around town, and they wondered: Who is this prophetically named politico, and why are Twin Citians still holding out for his rise?
Manny Phesto introduced himself to residents of Minneapolis/St. Paul with the 2012 EP Social Capital. Though coarse, it's a record of purpose, striving for community-built positivity, and it helped establish Phesto as a tenderhearted man of the people. His 2014 debut LP, Southside Looking In, followed up on those original campaign promises, fleshing out the rapper's vision for a better Minneapolis in 15 boom-bap insta-classics. He led that release with a tongue-in-cheek lawn-papering initiative that positioned him as the can-do candidate for a city with nothing to lose.
"People always think there's a deeper meaning," Phesto says, rolling into a laugh. "I had the idea for a few years before I put it into motion. I just thought it'd be cool to do during election season. Just to fuck with people's minds and get a bunch of new eyes on my music."
That was five years ago. Since Southside, Phesto's campaign trail has run cold. You'd need a weed whacker to read his policy statement. But after a five-year sabbatical, the south Minneapolis rapper is restored with purpose. His sophomore LP, Over South, released at the end of May, chronicles the hometown son's comeback bid.
Phesto is no stranger to stumping. He spent most of 2015 traveling across the Midwest, Mexico, Cuba, and Hawaii in an effort to solidify himself as one of the state's hardest-working rhymers. But for the past two years he's been more focused. Phesto relocated to San Diego in late 2016, and since then, he's been bouncing from West Coast to Midwest to manage a burgeoning marijuana business while maintaining his grassroots Minneapolis presence.
"A friend of mine bought me a ticket, which is kinda hard to turn down," Phesto says. "That was at a time when I was already traveling a bunch for music, so I was inspired to try out new places and seek whatever was out there."
Over South , inspired by a quintessential piece of Minneapolis slang, joins both Phesto's definitions of "south." Early moments on the record ("100 Grams," "Going Places") depict his early ambitions in San Diego, struggling to get the capital to establish his grow operation. However, he's swiftly betrayed by his partner ("Young Bro," "Listen"), and the industry collapses around him. In the end, he retreats to south Minneapolis with visions of a better future at home ("Still Lovely").
"My attitude with going out west was that I wasn't going out there to kick it," Phesto says. "I wasn't going to socialize. I was treating it like a work-abroad situation."
That work—and the heartbreak, the disappointment, the sleepless nights—is for Minnesota. Phesto's marijuana business was put on ice by city council regulations, but he still maintains a consulting firm and a brand new cannabidiol company, Scenic CBD. Both act as a Super PAC funding his musical endeavors.
Both locations are joined in song on Over South's final track, "Sunset Cliffs." The song pays homage to the California street where Phesto wrote the new record. The location is an anagram for the riverside park where he wrote the verses for Southside Looking In. He shot the "Sunset Cliffs" music video on those inspirational banks, joining the locations in a singular point.
"It was a way for me to contribute to Minneapolis and keep it connected with what I'm doing now," Phesto says. "South Minneapolis was my introduction to hip-hop culture. It was seeing stickers slapped up from Big Zach and Big Quarters on the way to South High. The cyphers crackin' off a couple blocks away in the homie's garage. That's the area that formed me."
He might be a transmetropolitan entrepreneur, but Phesto's definition of success is the same as it was on Social Capital. The idea is to grow alongside those around you. On "Mainroom," he returns to the wide-eyed candidate he was, dreaming of selling out First Ave and getting his name in City Pages. "Honey" pays tribute to his longtime HQ, the eponymous Northeast club where he's been a regular since his early cyphers. He's still gigging at Honey—that's where he'll host his June 23 homecoming show—but he's at least gotten himself elected into the local paper.
"I was just trying to go back to my attitude as a young kid first poppin' into the scene, what my aspirations were," he says. "Over South is basically the story of my life. Preparing to go, then going, all the setbacks, all of that shit that changes when you're out of town."
Despite the changes a half-decade brings, Phesto remains steadfast in the convictions that brought on his groundswell in 2014. All across town, a crisp-cornered sign is popping up in manicured lawns. It's a bright, fearless red, radiating with purpose.
It reads, "Manny Phesto: For the People."
"I'm running for whatever my constituents want me for," Phestos says. "But really it's just shameless self-promotion."
Consider this City Pages' official endorsement.

CHICAGO (WSCR) Kenny Williams has a clear message for his players: Lighten up.
As the White Sox continue to struggle against their own division, the White Sox general manager expressed obvious frustration before Thursday's game against the Twins.
"If we're as good as we can be then that's not going to make for a fun summer because I think we are inconsistent right now and I think we're a tight ballclub," Williams said on the White Sox pregame show on 670 The Score. "This ballclub is just simply better than the way we have played."
LISTEN: Kenny Williams on the White Sox pregame show
Williams said he has directly talked to a number of his players about their struggles.
"As I've articulated to a number of them — even today — reminding some of them, 'Listen, whatever the hell has happened up to this point, draw a line in the sand and let's get after it and let's focus on winning baseball games instead of your average, or your home run or RBI production, or any of that stuff. Because at the end of the year, even if your numbers are not where they usually are, and you are celebrating in that clubhouse, that's going to be a heck of a moment, and you can win a World Series if you start with your division. So you can still have a great experience, a great summer, without having a good statistical year.' I just want them to focus on that. Just day-by-day grind it out and get after it. Lighten up a little bit too. Like I said, we're a little tight."

To clarify, Will and I were not the ones hiking in style! But as soon as you reach Sanseong Station and get on the bus, you feel like you didn't get the memo on what to wear. It's quite the sight. Everyone around us was dressed head to toe in bright, colorful hiking gear. The pants, jackets, boots, hats, walking poles, backpacks, canteens — the whole works! (If you look closely, you can kind of see what I'm talking about in the photos.) You'd think you're going to hike Mount Kilimanjaro, not Namhansanseong Fortress.
Namhansanseong Fortress is located southeast of Seoul, took us about an hour, hour and a half to get there via train and bus. Its miles and miles of walls and gates were built in the 17th century in response to the introduction of gunpowder weapons to East Asia, according to my guide book. It was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site just last year. There are various shrines, temples and pavilions you can explore in the area, but we mainly wanted to walk along the wall, so we didn't check out any of those. Keep in mind, it's a large place — it takes 3-4 hours to walk the entire wall, roughly 12km.
We started at the South Fortress Gate, or Nammun Gate, and walked east from there. I wouldn't call this an arduous hike, but be prepared to go up many steps and, well, do a lot of walking. The weather was nice when we went, but the views could've been better. It was just a lot of brown hillside. I didn't mind too much, since it was cool just to see the wall, to see it stretching and winding for miles and miles over the mountains. Here are some photo highlights below, or you can visit my full gallery here.

"Really, why is that?"
"Well, because it hurts my knee when I run. And because, um..." I foundered, and realized I didn't exactly know why. I glanced over at M for help, and he had to admit that he hasn't actually examined my knee -- medically, I mean (heehee). (He is a physician's assistant in orthopedics, so he does have a few qualifications in this area.)
So why did I say that? Well I think part of it is simply that I enjoy saying "my Personal PA". It's fun. Also, I really don't like running, so the suggestion that perhaps it is medically a bad idea has some distinct appeal.
For years (on and off) I've tried to cultivate a taste for running. I really want to be a runner. I know it's great exercise, it's really healthy, and it is so satisfying when I'm through. I love the sense of pride and accomplishment I have when I'm done -- but while I'm actually running, all I really think is something along the lines of "when oh when will this end??" I keep hoping that running regularly will cause me to become fond of it, but it hasn't happened in eight years.
However more importantly, my left knee has been bothering me quite a lot recently. (It's had two minor surgeries and one ACL reconstruction about 15 years ago.) It hurts some when I run, and it hurts more after I'm through. It gets puffy for a day or two as well as sore, and my range of motion gets limited. This might be a good reason to stop running, and it's surely what made M suggest the idea.... on the other hand, it also hurts when I do fun things like skate, or ski. This is certainly not a good enough reason to stop either of those activities!
I guess it's just that (no matter why much I want to love it) I don't really enjoy running, so I'm enamored of the idea of having to stop for my own good. I also really wish my knees felt great all the time! I don't like the idea of stopping other things that hurt my knee though, so there is a little bit of hypocrisy there.
I have no real conclusions, just musing through my fingertips here. I'm definitely running in the Race on May 31. After then, I will probably do more bicycle riding and less running. Will I give it up completely? I don't know about that... but now that the weather is getting nicer, this running thing is getting in the way of my bicycling anyway. I miss my bikes.

Research interests
Jay's research concentrates on the politics of labour market policy and the governance of public employment services and social security administration. Recent work includes; analysis of the financialisation of social policy via social impact investment markets; comparative analysis of the employment service quasi-markets in Great Britain and Ireland and a critical analysis of the Work Programme and Mandatory Work Activity employment schemes in Britain.
Jay is also interested in the temporal and spatial variability of the 'activation' turn in labour market and social security policy and how this manifests in policy discourse. Recent work in this area has explored the emergence of a social democratic imaginary in Scotland as an alternative to UK Government discourse around 'welfare reform'. This strand of work is linked to a general interest in understanding the role of ideas in policymaking and how this relates to the agency of 'dominant' and 'dominated' actors within public policy.
During 2016-17 Jay was engaged in research for the project: 'Bringing labour back in: class antagonism, labour agency and Britain's active labour market reforms', supported by a fellowship from the Independent Social Research Foundation. The study examined the evolution of active labour market policy in Britain from the mid 1970s and how the development of conditionality and workfare both shaped, and was shaped by, practices of resistance, subversion and evasion. Early findings from the archival aspect of this research, exploring a visual history of social 'resistance' within social security and employment programmes, was presented to the conference on Welfare Conditionality held at the University of York in 2018. Drawing on the research conducted for this project Jay is currently writing a book on the politics of unemployment policy in Britain between 1975 and 2020.
Prior to moving to Edinburgh, Jay held a lectureship in social policy at Queen's University, Belfast and has held research positions at the University of Manchester and the University of Nottingham. He has worked on policy related projects for a variety of organisations including Age NI; the National Association of Welfare Rights Advisors; the National Audit Office; the Department for Work and Pensions and Salford City Council.

- Crosstalk from cAMP to ERK1/2 emerges during postnatal maturation of nociceptive neurons and is maintained during aging
Summary: Differentiation of nociceptors relies on transcription factors, receptors and neuropeptides. We identify the importance of intracellular signaling, including pathways involved in neuronal memory, for postnatal nociceptor maturation.
- Unique cell biological profiles of retinal disease-causing missense mutations in the polarity protein Crumbs
Highlighted Article: Analysis of Drosophila crb mutations demonstrates that the Crb extracellular region controls protein level and distribution, and suggests that human disease-causing CRB1 missense mutations affect rhodopsin trafficking.
- A Wntless–SEC12 complex on the ER membrane regulates early Wnt secretory vesicle assembly and mature ligand export
Summary: WLS and SEC12 form a stable complex on ER membrane that binds to mature Wnt molecules. We find that several independent protein motifs within WLS are essential for the association of this complex with COPII ER-exiting machinery.
- A dual phenotype of MDA-MB-468 cancer cells reveals mutual regulation of tensin3 and adhesion plasticity
Highlighted Article: The cell−matrix adapter protein Tns3 is identified as a determinant of adhesion plasticity in subcultures of cancer cells. Tns3 gene expression constitutes a feedback loop controling cell adhesion and motility.
- The nuclear export factor CRM1 controls juxta-nuclear microtubule-dependent virus transport
Summary: The mechanism through which macromolecular complexes reach the nuclear pores is incompletely understood. We show that the cytoplasmic perinuclear ecology is tuned by CRM1 to control virus transport to the nuclear pore complex.
- TRPV4 mediates the Ca2+ influx required for the interaction between flightless-1 and non-muscle myosin, and collagen remodeling
Highlighted Article: TRPV4 is a Ca2+-permeable channel in the plasma membrane that regulates FliI–NMMIIA interactions, which in turn affects the cell extension formation necessary for the control of collagen remodeling and matrix biology.
- The Kv1-associated molecules TAG-1 and Caspr2 are selectively targeted to the axon initial segment in hippocampal neurons
Summary: The selective distribution of the cell adhesion molecules Caspr2 and TAG-1 might be responsible for positioning of Kv1 channels at the axon initial segment versus along the axon in hippocampal neurons.

Barking drug dealer accused of murder 'asked delivery driver to give gang a lift', court hears
PUBLISHED: 17:00 12 February 2019
A delivery driver accused of driving Tavis Spencer-Aitkens' alleged killers to the scene of the fatal attack parked his van and took drugs to "calm his nerves" after what happened, a court has heard.
Giving evidence at Ipswich Crown Court, Leon Glasgow said he was shocked after witnessing part of the attack on 17-year-old Tavis and had driven to the Suffolk village of Tuddenham after dropping off his passengers in Ipswich.
He parked the van for about ten minutes and used heroin and cannabis to "calm his nerves" before heading to a friend's house where he'd been staying.
He said that when he drove away, Tavis had been alive and he believed what had happened was "no more than a fight".
He said that when he heard Tavis had died he thought "this has gone to another level now".
In the dock with Glasgow, 42, of no fixed address, are Adebayo Amusa, 20, of Sovereign Road, Barking, Aristote Yenge, 23, of Spring Road, Ipswich, Callum Plaats, 23, of Ipswich, Isaac Calver, 19, of Firmin Close, Ipswich, and a 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named because of his age.
They all deny murdering 17-year-old Tavis who was fatally stabbed in Packard Avenue, Ispwich on June 2.
During his evidence Glasgow said that on the afternoon of the attack on Tavis he'd been asked by his drug supplier Adebayo Amusa to "give him and some of his boys a lift to Nacton and back" in return for drugs and cash.
He met Amusa at Alderman Park and said Aristote Yenge and a man called "M" had got into the front of the van while some other people he couldn't see had got in the back.
He claimed he was given directions to Packard Avenue and had no idea what was going on when his passengers got out and started attacking Tavis in what he described as a "one-sided fight".
He said he was shocked at what he saw and was planning to drive off when his passengers returned to the van.
It has been alleged the attack on Tavis was the result of rivalry between the two gangs for what J-Block from the Jubilee Park area of Ipswich perceived to be a loss of respect following a row between the 16-year-old defendant and Yenge and two of Tavis's friends from the Neno gang from the Nacton area, during a confrontation in Ipswich town centre.
The trial continues.

Why Are Our Pirates So Depressed?
-- Black B.
Why is one of the most powerful, wealthy, and feared pirates in history so unhappy? He is suffering from the little-known condition Un-Jolly Roger Syndrome (UJRS). Pirates dedicate their existence almost exclusively to finding treasure, often at the expense of getting an education, developing a strong support system, or creating the social network necessary for dealing with life after the treasure is found. They define themselves by their search for gold, diamonds, rubies, and assorted valuables, so once the search is over, a void is left that they find difficult to fill. "I thought all my troubles were over when I found that treasure," says Black B., "But boy, was I ever wrong. Once the euphoria wore off, I realized that it was the hunting for the treasure that sustained me, not the treasure itself." And Black B. is not alone.
"After I found my treasure, I gave up pirating right away. Now I have to find an excuse to wake up in the morning. Sure, I've knocked three strokes off my handicap, but I used to be the terror of the Seven Seas for chrissakes. Yar!"
-- Blue B.
Like many retirees, pirates have a hard time adjusting to life after they acquire their treasure and leave pirating behind. This transition is particularly difficult for them because they have spent their lives at sea and are not used to day-to-day life on land. "I had never taken out the garbage in my life," observes Blue B. "Now, I have to do it every Monday and Thursday. What? Oh, I mean, Tuesday and Friday. I always forget." Blue B. says that his efforts to find a substitute for the highs of searching for treasure gave him little satisfaction: "For a while there, I was really into Napster. It was kind of cool that I could get all my favorite shanties for nothing. I was a pirate again! But then those landlubbers at the RIAA put a stop to that. I mean, I still steal software, but it's not the same." Blue B. eventually put his treasure in a chest, buried it, made a map disclosing the chest's location, and then left the map in a location that was not secure. "I know it sounds stupid. I spend my whole life seeking treasure, then, when I finally find it, I bury it, make a map with a big X on it where the treasure is, and leave the map lying around where just about anyone could find it. And the clues were really easy to figure out. It's like I wanted someone to find it so I have to go get my treasure back."
"Sometimes I think the world with just be better off if I let that crocodile eat me. Yar?"
-- Captain H.
A big part of pirate culture is excessive consumption of spirits, so many with UJRS are also alcoholics. This problem is exacerbated because most pirates do not feel comfortable talking openly about their feelings, even though alcoholism and depression are extremely common in this population. Consequently, they feel isolated, causing them to drink even more as a form of self-medication. This cycle can make their depression worse and can even lead to suicide. Though no official statistics exist, it has been estimated that more than 3,000 pirates a year walk off their own planks. In one of our interviews, Captain H. mused, "There isn't a whole lot of 'yo-ho-ho' left in my life." He added with a mournful chuckle, "But there's plenty of rum." A week after he was interviewed for this article, Captain H. was tragically murdered by an assailant who was described as "dressed in green, extremely quick and elusive...almost childlike." Many who knew the captain question whether his death might have actually been, effectively, a suicide. "It was like he just let it happen. How could that little guy kill such a powerful man?" said a friend who sailed with the captain for seventeen years. "It just doesn't make any sense, you know?"
"I even kicked my parrot. That was when I knew I needed help. Yar...."
--Long John S.
The good news is that UJRS can be overcome with therapy and medication. After three stints in a rehabilitation clinic, Black B. started a twelve-step program just for pirates called "You Are Remarkable" or Y.A.R. "We've got more than 8,000 members at Y.A.R. in five different countries." Blue B. became a member of Y.A.R. a year ago and has recently won his first tournament on the Senior PGA Tour. Long John S., who is not a member or Y.A.R. but attends therapy regularly, is perhaps the most successful ex-pirate of them all. His therapist, Dr. Robin Cohen, treats several ex-pirates with UJRS. His approach, which he calls "Thinking Outside the Chest," encourages them to focus on other aspects of life besides treasure. According to Long John S., the approach works.

How to Clean Calphalon Cookware
Calphalon manufactures a variety of cookware such as frying pans, stock pots and roasting pans. Whether your Calphalon cookware is non-stick, stainless steel or enameled cast iron, it requires care to keep it looking and performing its best. According to the Calphalon website, most of the cookware should be hand-washed because dishwashing detergents can be too harsh for the cookware's surface. With the right products and technique, you can keep your Calphalon cookware in top condition for many years.
Fill a sink with hot water, and add 2 tsp. of mild dish detergent.
Place the cooled cookware into the sink, and scrub it with a non-abrasive scrubbing pad or sponge to remove any food residue. For tough messes, allow the cookware to soak in the soapy water until the residue softens, and scrub it again.
Rinse the cookware thoroughly with warm water.
Dry the cookware with a towel.
Things You Will Need
- Mild dish detergent
- Non-abrasive scrubbing pad or sponge
- Towel
- Use a non-abrasive powder cleanser to remove stains and restore shine to your stainless steel or enamel cast iron Calphalon cookware. Sprinkle a damp sponge with the powder and scrub the wet cookware. Rinse it thoroughly with warm water and dry it with a towel.
- Don't use abrasive products to clean Calphalon cookware.

The Road to Prohibition
In 1919 the Eighteenth Amendment was passed, banning the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol in the United States. Just a year before the law went into effect, Minnesota could boast 37 breweries producing over a million barrels of fermented liquors and distributing them to over 3,000 retail liquor dealers. In Minnesota, as in the nation as a whole, Prohibition was hardly established through consensus.
At the turn of the 20th Century, about 70% of Minnesota's population was either first or second generation American, so ethnic attitudes toward alcohol were very influential. Much of the state's population favored moderation rather than total abstinence, but each group had some kind of temperance tradition.
The national temperance movement had been gaining steam in the United States since the 1870s, spurred by the growth of temperance organizations such as the Women's Christian Temperance Union, or WCTU, the Anti-Saloon League, and the Prohibition Party.
The Minnesota Prohibition Party first entered a State gubernatorial race in 1869 and saw a surge in popularity in the 1880s, when Minnesota began enacting licensing fees for saloons as a way to encourage temperance. The Party began gaining real momentum after the turn of the twentieth century, winning its first seats in the Minnesota House in 1906. By 1915 a "county option" bill was passed by the Minnesota legislature, allowing entire counties to vote themselves dry.
World War I also facilitated prohibitionists' goals. Wartime rationing led to the Food and Fuel Control Act, passed in August, 1917, which prohibited the use of foodstuffs in the manufacture of liquor across the country. And anti-German hysteria fueled by the Great War was channeled against German brewers, including Minnesota's own Schell's, Hamm's, Yoerg, and Schmidt. The Anti-Saloon league went so far as to declare that "German brewers [...] have rendered thousands of men inefficient and are thus crippling the Republic in its war against Prussian militarism."
The War Time Prohibition Act was passed in 1918 in order to save grain for the war effort. Meanwhile, in December 1917, a constitutional amendment resolution was passed and sent to the States for ratification. Minnesota's 1918 referendum on the amendment failed narrowly but on January 17th, 1919, the Minnesota Legislature ratified the federal Prohibition Amendment, making Minnesota the 39th State to ratify the Eighteenth Amendment, which went into effect on January 17, 1920.
Congress passed the National Prohibition Act to enforce the 18th Amendment. The law was sponsored by Minnesota's Republican Congressman from Granite Falls, Andrew Volstead. Volstead was not a radical prohibitionist but sponsored the Act because, as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, he was expected to do so. The Volstead Act, while established the legal definition of intoxicating liquor and the penalties for producing it, was poorly enforced.
The ban on alcohol not only lacked popular consensus, but was difficult to enforce because of the public demand for illegal alcohol, which made criminals of producers and consumers. The nation would soon face the unintended consequences of prohibition: bootlegging, gambling, prostitution, organized crime, and corruption. While prohibition was in effect, Minnesota's capitol city became a haven for gangsters such as John Dillinger, Babyface Nelson, Alvin Karpis, and the Barker gang. See the podcast "St. Paul: Gangster Haven" for details.
By 1933, widespread disrespect for the law led to the passage of the 21st Amendment, which remains the only constitutional amendment approved for the explicit purpose of repealing another amendment. Prohibition officially ended December 15, 1933, to the delight of many Minnesotans, who waited in long lines at local breweries to enjoy their first legal beer in thirteen years.

Dynamic Series "Strengths Based Marriage" Premieres Monday, Feb. 12th, on TBN
LOS ANGELES (February 9, 2018) — It's no secret that marriage is under attack as never before. Divorces are at record highs, and many couples who choose to stay together admit that marriage is not the joyful and satisfying relationship they dreamed it would be.
But what if there were some fundamental strategies that couples could use to turn their marriages around? What if husbands and wives were empowered to recognize the strengths and celebrate the positive differences their partner brings to the marriage relationship? That is the theme of the dynamic new series Strengths Based Marriage, hosted by noted marriage and strengths experts Jimmy Evans and Allan Kelsey, and premiering Monday, February 12th, on faith-and-family television leader TBN.
Based on Evans' and Kelsey's best-selling book of the same title, Strengths Based Marriage will help husbands and wives — as well as couples looking forward to marriage — discover the strengths and differences each partner brings to the relationship, and how those individual dynamics can enhance and vitalize a marriage.
"So many people are miserable in marriage, and most think there is something wrong with their spouse," says Evans. "But the truth is that more often than not we marry someone different from ourselves — and that's by God's design. And if we understand those differences they can be dynamic and wonderful."
Evans notes that the institution of marriage is one of the most important foundations to a healthy and successful society. "People everywhere want stable relationships and good marriages," he says. "The good news is that God is the author of good marriages — and every person can have one."
Evans and Kelsey explain that marriages begin to be strengthened when a husband and wife can say to each other: "I'm so glad we're married, and that I can see you for who God made you to be. And if we're incomplete and less than we should be, let's work to complete each other."
Adds Evans: "The concept of strengths-based marriage is all about discovering God's design for marriage, and discovering the strengths each of us has as a husband and a wife, and how we can use those strengths to build a solid marriage relationship."
Don't miss Strengths Based Marriage with Jimmy Evans and Allan Kelsey, premiering Monday, February 12th, at 6:30 p.m. Eastern / 3:30 p.m. Pacific, only on TBN. Find out where TBN is airing near you with our channel finder, or watch TBN on our livestream HERE.

about the Microsoft-funded ZenZui launch today and its noble goal to "[transform] the way people engage, consume and interact with Web content through a revolutionary mobile user experience and information ecosystem." (Seriously, I kid you not. That's what the release says.)
Essentially, it's a GUI that zooms in and out. The technology splits the UI into 36 different "tiles" that users then manipulate, zooming in and out, dragging around the screen, etc. I suppose the thinking is that, since cellphone and other mobile device screens are so tiny, being able to manipulate the content gives the illusion of having more space to work with. You know, how putting lots of mirrors in a room gives is the impression of being larger than it actually is. Again, there's a video of this vast information ecosystem in action right here.
Though ZenZui launches today, there's no indication of when it'll make it onto your favorite handset. All good revolutions take time to have the desired effects, you know.

A month after losing the 2012 presidential election, Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, were ringside in Las Vegas on Saturday night to watch as Manny Pacquiao was knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez in the sixth round of their welterweight bout.
The image of the former Massachusetts governor, his mouth agape at the sight of Pacquiao face down on the canvas, was seen briefly on the HBO telecast and posted to Twitter by Buzzfeed's Andrew Kaczynski.
According to the Associated Press, the Romneys were guests of Nevada State Athletic Commission chairman Bill Brady, who hosted a fundraiser for the Republican nominee during the campaign.
Before the fight, Romney met Pacquiao in the fighter's dressing room at the MGM Grand, according to the New York Times, which described the "surreal" exchange:
In came Mitt Romney. Yes, that Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and the presidential runner-up, every hair on his head in place. Romney, in fact, came in twice. His introduction was at once awkward and hilarious.
"Hi, Manny," he said. "I'm Mitt Romney. I ran for president. I lost."
Pacquiao then followed suit.
"I got hit by a punch I didn't see," he said.

B2B Barcelona / Venice Grand Med 12 days Sep 25, 2009 Venice / FLL Transatlantic 18 Days Oct 7, 2009
Princess Air: Routing - All Flights NWA + KLM. SFO / Detroit / Amsterdam / Barcelona. There was 2-hour layover in DTT and 90 min layover in AMS. Luggage was booked SFO / BCN and boarding pass with all seat numbers were given at SFO. All flights were on-time. AMS: There were self-serve kiosks for transfer (if one did not have seats for AMS / BCN). Longish walk from arrival gate to Immigration / Security. Be sure to stand in non-EU Lines! Took about 20 minutes. The nice attractive security lady asked me to open the carry-on, took out the travel umbrella and opened it. Took out the electronic luggage scale asked what it was. Then these 2 items went through the scanner again. At boarding a check-in lady went through the boarding line and took away many (including mine) carry-ons and tagged them and checked them. We got it at the regular carousel in BCN. BCN: We knew we would need carts because DW has an injured shoulder. We had between us 4 pieces of regular luggage (3 bottles of wine and chargers etc. take up space), and 2 carry-ons. We saw 2 small carts and were thinking of taking them downstairs to the carousel when a nice person tells us "Baja"and pointed and we see tons of regular luggage carts. We got 2 carts and exited. Princess Staff were right there and we gave our luggage to be loaded into the luggage bus and were led to the pax bus. At the port, there was security check first (20 minutes) and then check-in. We got our cabin cards and went next door to the Duty Free Shop that had good Spanish wines - bought 3 bottles and a simple corkscrew and charged them.
Inside the Ship: We went to our cabin (JJ Inside for first leg then BA for TA). The cabin steward Cerry came over as we are opening the door, greeted us by name, and opened the cabin door. Luckily, he was to be our steward for the full 30 days because the BA cabin was on the same deck 5 or 6 cabins away. We went to the Cafe Caribe for light lunch and then to the Sanctuary. We were disappointed that the Sanctuary is open only till 4:30pm so we did not make a reservation.
Port Sightseeing: We had a very active and sophisticated Roll Call with Ann & Ramah continually updating the Spreadsheet. So for some ports we had joined our CC members and some were with Princess.
Monaco: We just walked toward town. Finding the escalator was tricky. Naturally the main attractions were Grace Kelly related. Then we joined with another couple and took a cab to the Casino. But they would not let me in without an ID. We went to the casino next door and then walked down (about 30 min) back to the ship. Caution: remember to memorize some landmarks - we got lost in Rome and almost did not find our tour van. Rome: We booked the Princess Train to Rome and walked to the Basilica and looked for the Vatican Museum. There was a big line but there were many agents for guides offering entrance without waiting in line. We bargained the price down from 40 euros pp to 35. The agent gave us a slip with the price and took us to a guide who took us to a small office where we paid. There were about 12 of us with that guide and we by-passed the lines. The museum was very very crowded. We did not take a guidebook. To appreciate the Sistine Chapel one needs a diagram of the ceiling! Afterwards we went to the Basilica (no lines now). We then wandered around trying to get to the Spanish steps and then made our way back to the train station.
Naples: We just took the ferry to Capri, went up the cable car and wandered around. Try the small alleys away from the shopping street. We got 3 bottles from a small grocery store - the Barolla was excellent but the Monticello was disappointing. There are restrooms where the cable car comes up.
Athens: We joined the tour arranged by CC member Kathleen and it was excellent.
Istanbul: We booked the Princess Bosphorus with lunch. Very good value - gets sold out quickly.
Ephesus: We joined a tour arranged by Allen and it included the terrace houses which is a must. Remember to take bottled water - no food or drinks available after you enter the gates. Artemis Pillar - is it a hoax? Avoided carpet weaving. We did not go to the leather factory either - though others said that the leather jackets were a good buy. Venice: Princess After-Hours Tour of St. Marks. Expensive but worth it. Exclusive look at areas normally closed to tours. Got valporetto pass on first day. We has 2 nights on the ship. We found ATMs at both ends of Rialto Bridge - one did not accept foreign cards. The other one did.
Rome City Tour: Arranged by CC member Dorothy (&Joe): Marco of Romeconnection was superb. My Italian Lira dropped at Trevi brought me back after 40 years. Will the Euro dropped now bring me back? Remember to go down to the edge of fountain to throw your coin. Dorothy & Joe - may be we should have thrown some coins into your cabin to get us together on another cruise!
Naples: Joined CarolynR tour with Fabrizio (Allarounditaly). Great guy. Fabulous Lunch Barcelona: Sagrada Famila with CarolynR. As soon as we docked, 4 of us got a cab to Sagrada (20 euro total with tip). So we got there and were in the front of the line for the ticket office to open. Toilets are under the Sagrada (if needed). Join the line immediately for the elevator - gets longer and longer. 2 (or maybe 4) euros for the elevator. What a marvel. We read about how it took 100 years to build many of the cathedrals - Sagtada will take 50 years. From Sagrada took a cab to Las Rambla. We strolled the Las Ramblas, ate lunch, went to the market off Las Ramblas, then took cab back to ship. Cabs were hard to find at Las Ramblas.
Food: Rome - pasta with white truffle (20 euro - the most expensive pasta on the menu) but such a wonderful delicate taste. Athens: I asked the tour guide - she recommended Lamb Fricassee. The heavenly sauce. After I told her what I thought, the tour guide said it is a specialty in that restaurant and she always orders it. Naples Fabrizio's choice of the restaurant near Positano perched on a hill with a magnificent view and a 6-course lunch to match (only 25 euros with wine). Murano - wandered into a restaurant with a courtyard. Superb fried seafood platter - one of the best fried calamari. Las Ramblas - cannot be in Barcelona without trying Paella Marinara. On the ship: lamb chop, Pate (at breakfast in Cafe Caribe), and omelets with Jalapeno. Ship food was very good but not memorable. Our waiters - Napoleon and Sunil were excellent. And on the first leg - Maitre D' Generoso (so special) and cheerful Istvan (Headwaiter) made each dinner a joy. They both left the ship in Venice. Our tablemates on the first leg were a honeymoon couple from Spain - and we enjoyed our Spanish dinner wines with them.
Ruby: Our first time on this class of ship. Sailing into Venice watching from the deck - all teary-eyed pax. Captain Charming Tony Yeomans -- if you write your memoirs title it "Parallel Parking The Ruby Princess". We all held our breaths as the captain maneuvered it between 2 docked ships in Venice! Skywalkers: We were regulars here especially for sailaways. Vinod always welcomed us. The appetizers - especially freshly made carpaccio and guacamole. Do not miss going through the Rock of Gibraltar from a high deck.
Vines: About 20 of the 30 evenings we were here before dinner. On our first evening, Florian the Sommelier gave us a warm welcome and we were hooked. Florian knows his wines. And then there was the sashimi and ceviche superbly crafted by sushi chef Sajid for us. Oh! What a treat! We ordered wine by the glass and also by the bottles. Our favorites - Luce $90 with gratuity (for our taste it out-classed Opus) and our regular pinot noir Calera - a great value at $40.
The Piazza and the aft end of Ruby are different from the Grand Class Ships- the views from the golf link is great.
Memorable Interactions:
We get back from Rome and were walking to our cabin. A cabin door opens and a hand thrusts a bottle of Champagne into my hand and the door closes. I keep walking to our cabin a few doors away wondering. There are 2 glasses of champagne in it. DW tells me - it was Raymond (and Pam). We laugh and drink it in the balcony.
We are going to the Coop in Venice and run into our Steward Cerry. So I ask him if we can get him anything - embarrassed he says "Some Mints". We bring mints and some chocolates in a nice small light transparent plastic container. He looks at it and says - "I will take it home - my family must know that I have nice pax."
We meet a couple in Horizon Court. The wife tells us that they are enjoying the cruise. But they have a worried look. Her husband left the hearing aid batteries on their kitchen table. He has only one battery left and they are on these excursions and cannot get batteries. I tell them we will look for the batteries in Lisbon our next port. That evening we find a sample battery and a note in our mailbox. So in Lisbon, we find a watch store. No -- they don't have it - then I point to my "ear". "Ah" says the guy and comes out and points further down the street. We try another pharmacy - she points and says "Up". I tell DW there are only apts. above the stores and no stairs. DW says she saw stairs. So we cross the street and push a slightly open door. There are stairs. We go up and we are right in front of a Hearing Aid Store! We give the batteries to the couple late that evening. Next day we run into the couple -- she hugs DW and starts crying. She says "Now - my husband can hear." We tell her that she had faith in 2 total strangers and her faith led us to the store. She says it is Mitzvah. They send us flowers.
Cabin Get Togethers - wonderful wine and appetizers and conversations.
Thanks to everyone on our Roll Call that made the whole trip so memorable. Each one has to find what gives them joy and bring that way of life to their cruise.

Today's modern workforce is filled with tech-savvy, eager learners, who want to be able to freely connect with their colleagues, managers and other experts within the organization. In addition, they expect accessible, interactive learning experiences anytime, anywhere.
To adapt to today's modern learner and meet their rising expectations, learning leaders are forced to rethink how they approach corporate engagement and learning to retain and nurture their talent. They must simplify the employee experience and enable connections anywhere and on any device, personalize information for relevant communication, create a culture where employees want to share their knowledge, and encourage them to engage with each other in new and creative ways. With this in mind, it is important that learning leaders fully understand the importance of technology and social networking in the workplace in order to better develop talent.
The modern learner is connected. Digital apps, tools and social networks are not only fueling how the world learns, but also how businesses adapt to market changes. Platforms such as LinkedIn and Twitter let people connect with peers, discover news and share information. As a result, today's workforce expects similar interactivity at work.
Make sure employees can easily communicate, share content and access managers on a consistent cadence. When employees receive constant feedback to benefit their role/career, they are more likely to build relationships and cultivate a more collaborative learning process. For instance, offer social collaboration in the cloud to enable real-time feedback, social learning and instant knowledge-sharing.
The modern learner is always on. Technology has given employees 24/7 access to information, and smartphones have become their go-to sidekicks.
Employees can access anything they want through their mobile devices, so why shouldn't they be able to access educational content, videos and other information about their roles and internal processes via their mobile devices as well? Businesses should offer easy access to learning programs, and give employees control over when and how they access content and knowledge-sharing collaboration tools.
The modern learner has a short attention span. Employees are constantly consuming information, so it's more difficult for them to focus on a single task for a prolonged period of time. The odds they'll filter out all outside distractions to engage with an in-depth learning course are slim to none.
Businesses should personalize learning programs and experiences so they're more relevant and compelling, offering elements such as recommended reading, videos and additional learning opportunities. Rather than create a one-size-fits-all program, ensure that team members receive the information and resources that align with their positions and goals within the organization.
The modern learner is hungry for information. As new digital tools and platforms enter the mix, employees' behaviors and learning preferences will change. If learning leaders want to capture and keep employees' attention, they'll need to provide a relevant and immersive learning experience using the latest digital tools and platforms. Tools like global workforce analytics, talent management and acquisition, and workforce rewards all play an important role in ensuring that an employee receives relevant information.
Modern technology platforms, specifically those optimized for the cloud, not only increase operational efficiency and enable collaboration among employees, they help to encourage individual employees to learn in a way that aligns with their personal learning style, age and device preferences. By enabling employees to learn as individuals, in a way and time that makes sense for them, companies can invest in, and therefore maintain, their talent.

Adopt don't shop: The downside of buying your pets

During the summer of 2015, I adopted my dog, Gus, a large fluffy ombre brown Chow Chow mix from the Long Beach Animal Shelter. My mom, little sister and I had decided that we wanted a dog. As long as it was from a shelter, I did not care which breed it was. Within one minute of entering the facility, ...

Article Text
The management of low-grade glioma (LGG) is shifting as evidence has emergedthat refutes the previously commonplace imaging-based 'watch and wait' approach, in favour of early aggressive surgical resection. This coupled with the recent 2016 update to the World Health Organisation Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System is changing LGG imaging and management. Recently in Practical Neurology the contemporary management of low-grade glioma and the changes to this grading system were discussed in detail.1 In this complementary article, we discuss the role of imaging in the diagnosis, surgical planning and post-treatment follow-up of LGG. We describe the principles of imaging these tumours and use several cases to highlight some difficult scenarios.
- neurooncology
- neuroradiology
- tumours

Around the Azores Archipelago the government created five protected Archaeological Underwater Parks. These Archaeological Parks reflect the history of the Azores as an important location during the 15-17th century discoveries and as a centre of sailing and shipping traffic. All sites protect shipwrecks from different eras and show the importance that the Azores had for ships crossing the Atlantic.
Baía de Angra do Heroísmo
The Archaeological Underwater Park of Baía de Angra do Heroísmo is located very close to shore in Terceira Island in the bay of Angra do Heroísmo. Compared to the other archaeological parks in the Azores, this park does not protect one ship in particular, but a number of archaeological sites in the bay. The underwater park can be considered a true underwater museum, as it shows how important the city of Angra do Heroísmo was for trans-Atlantic maritime traffic. Based on historical reports, there should be over 90 shipwrecks located in the bay and most of them have not yet been discovered. The most accessible dive site is the Brazilian wreck Lidador that sunk in the bay in 1878. It lies just two minutes from the harbor at a maximum depth of only 11m and thus can be accessed by snorkel. Also, in the same bay, one can find the Anchor field, a popular dive site at 15-30 meters depth. As the name already reveals, it's a field of anchors that were lost on the rocky shores.
The Archaeological Underwater Park Slavonia is another shipwreck in shallow waters, off the southwest coast of Lajedo at Flores Island. The park protects the area around the Royal Mail Ship (RMS) Slavonia. It lays at a depth of 5-15 meters and can be easily accessed by snorkel or SCUBA diving.
In Ponta Delgada, on São Miguel Island, at a depth of 15-20 meters rests the tramp steamer ship Dori. The Archaeological Underwater Park Dori protects the site where the ship sunk in 1961 on its way from Germany to the United States of America. It is the one of the most popular dive sites of São Miguel and loved by wreck divers due to the great condition of the wreck.
The Archaeological Underwater Park Canarias is located in the shallow waters close to Praia Formosa on Santa Maria Island. The Spanish ship Canarias sunk in 1871 and transported troops during the Ten Years War between Spain and Cuba that lead to Cuba's independence. Today the wreck harbours an excellent artificial reef with a thriving marine life.
Off the coast of Areia Larga on Pico Island, at 8-10 meters depth, lays the French sailing vessel Caroline, sunk in 1901. The Archaeological Underwater Park Caroline protects the impressive 98 meters long and over 3000 tons heavy wreck.
Why are they important?
Overall, the Archaeological Underwater Parks aim to protect and promote investigation, monitoring and valorisation of the maritime heritage of the Azores.
Discover it!
All sites can be visited either by SCUBA diving or snorkelling.

How to Project Kaberle to Your Fantasy Hockey Team
Saturday, February 19, 2011
Now that Tomas Kaberle is on the Boston Bruins, it would seem a lot has changed and that may be so. Since the trade involved a prospect, a conditional pick, and Boston's 2011 1st round pick, the impacts short-term will have to be based on only Kaberle's contributions to Boston. The hardest part of a short term…Continue reading...
