How we won the Europeans
Our crew's first event of the season was to be this year's European Championships, held on the Beetzsee in Brandenburg, Germany. This venue held a special significance for me, as it was on the very course that I coxed a GB crew for the very first time at the 2005 Junior World Championships, winning a bronze medal in the junior women's eight. Returning to Brandenburg in itself was a exciting prospect for me, but this excitement was nothing compared to my crew's eagerness to get out and open our Olympic racing season.
The women's eight selected for the Europeans contained five of last year's crew, including myself and Leander athlete Katie Greves, with the addition of two more club athletes – Karen Bennett and Polly Swann. In this new-look crew we had been performing well in training, which was made clear during our heat, which we won with a confident and calm performance, to advance directly to the A-final. The second heat in our event was won by the slick-looking Netherlands, in a time 0.5 seconds faster than our own. We knew we would have a fight on our hands come Sunday's final.
During the course of the weekend between our heat and our final, the weather conditions deteriorated markedly. We made the most of a day in between racing to test ourselves in the tougher water, but were all aware that the forecast was due to be even worse during the medal races. Sunday arrived and, as expected, the wind steadily increased, from reasonably calm during our early morning pre-race paddle, to a fierce, white-horse dominated cross-wind as we boated for our warm-up.
Despite an obvious awareness that we were about to compete in the worst water in which any of us had ever raced a 2k event, our warm-up was collected and poised, and, dare I say it, we even started to enjoy the challenge of the conditions around us. We attached to the stakeboat ready for a quick start, with bow girl Katie doing a great job of staying clearheaded and keeping us switched on with tapping into the wind so we would be straight and ready when the green light went.
Our Start…
… was, unsurprisingly, a lot lower and more contained than we would usually want, however in the extraordinary conditions we decided to focus on staying long and setting a strong rhythm form the very first strong. A feisty Russian crew jumped out to a commanding early lead, passing the 500m mark with clear water on us, and just under a length on the Dutch. These positions stayed roughly the same as we powered through the half way into the second 1000m of the race, with the Dutch closing down fractionally on the leading Russians.
Now, one length down, in third position, was certainly not where we had planned to be with 1000m left to row in our European finals. However, it was clear that we were rating significantly lower than our opposition, and were generally being more efficient in our efforts. There was no moment in the race when I doubted our ability to win the event, and my crewmates showed their remarkable tenacity, as they relentlessly stayed on our rhythm, refusing to be distracted by the crews around them. As we moved into the second half of the race I could feel our momentum building, and we slowly raised our rate of striking. With 500m left to go it was clear that the Russian crew could not sustain their early pace, and it would be between us and the Netherlands for the gold medal. We still had plenty of distance to make up, however, but we set a blistering pace in the last quarter of the course, piling the pressure on to the Dutch, and finally pushing our bow ball out ahead of theirs mere strokes before the line. Crossing the finish I had to look back to the big screen to confirm it, but was flooded with relief and pride in my crew when I realised we had in fact won.

After dancing and drinks in Dallas, Mason and I went back to our room to fuck around. He was being especially piggy, trying to jerk me off in the elevator in front of some other guys. I got him into the room and couldn't help but make out with his handsome face. He is such a good kisser. We rip each other's clothes off and I get him right to work sucking off my fat cock. He was bewildered by the sheer girth of my fat dick gliding between his lips. Maybe he was biting off more than he could chew. Speaking of chew, I got him on his back, legs in the air so I could devour his piggy hole. I rimmed his ass and had him squirming to get my fat dick up there. He slobbers on my cock, gets it nice and wet, then climbs on top and slides down onto my fat piece of meat. Boy was it fun to raw fuck this Texas pig. I fuck him in all kinds of positions before finally planting my seed in his willing piggy hole.

Medical Association Urges Full Implementation of Medical Residency Training Act to Address Challenges in the Health Sector in Borno
Medical Association urges full implementation of Medical Residency Training Act to address challenges in the health sector in Borno
By Madu Mohammed, Maiduguri
The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Borno state chapter has urged for the full implementation of Medical Residency Training Act in addressing numerous challenges in the health sector in the state.
The President of the NMA in the Borno state chapter, Dr. Ali Mohammad-Ramat who disclosed this at the 2020 Annual Physician's Week on Tuesday in Maiduguri said that the call was imperative to address the challenges bedevilling the health sector especially in getting skilled human resources.
Dr Ramat said that the physician week was an annual long week events of the Nigerian Medical Association(NMA), to celebrate medical personnels contribution to effective healthcare services delivery and research in Nigeria.
Mohammad-Ramat explained that it also provided an opportunity for medical personnels to review events of the health sector during the past twelve months and identify areas of possible improvement.
He said that the NMA in this year's Physicians week celebration was deeply concerned with the increasing trend of suicide among Nigerians and the mortality ravaged by the COVID-19 pandamic.
"It is for this reason that the 2020 physician week celebration themed Strategies for Health System Recovery During COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria, while the Sub-theme is Dental caries,", Dr Ramat added.
He lamented that the COVID-19 pandamic has been spreading rapidly globally, with a considerable impact on the global morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilisation as well as social and economic dislocation of families, communities, state and country', stressing that the implementation of the medical residency training in the state teaching hospital would go along way in mitigating the impact pose by the challenges.
Mohammad-Ramat also explained that another neglected public health diseases in Nigeria was the burden of dental services, despite advances in the practices, adding that the number of workforce of health personnel's in the state was a clear indications that they are inadequate to achieve the Universal Health Coverage in the state.
The NMA therefore, urged the federal government to redeemed it pledge of allocation 15 percent of it budget allocations to the health in order to address challenges in the sectors.
Also speaking, Dr. Joseph Jatau, a former Chief Medical Director, said that the residency training when fully implemented in the state would produce a great number of Specialist in various fields which would go along way to alleviate the problems militating against the provision of modern and sound healthcare services to the people.
He explained that the residency training would also save the state government alots of funds used to sponsor doctors for specialised in various fields abroad which had brought huge financial burden to the state, stressing that the huge resources saved in the trainings could be use to further improve the health institutions or re-channeled to other people's oriented projects thereby making healthcare available to all.
"The residency training will also open room for research activities, especially in collaboration with the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, where postgraduate students will be trooping into the institution for knowledge oriented programmes.", he added.
He lamented that mal-distribituon, poor skills-mix, and limited capacity were other challenges faced across the different health workers categories and cardres in addition to gross urban and rural disparities existing in the distribution of available human resources between LGAs, adding that the worsened security challenges and lack of requisite manpower, particularly doctors, worst of which was the unavailability of the required specialist and consultants.
"Borno has a projected population of 5,860, 200, million, according to the 2006 National Population Commission's census. More than half of this population are women (50.8 percent), 20 percent are under 5, 22 percent are women of child bearing age (15-49) and five percent are pregnant women.. The state has also total fertility rate of 6.1 percent while frequent unplanned pregnancies pose high risk of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality due to a weak health system and protracted crises situation in the state", he further pointed out.
He said "People of the state over the past decade have surffered serious security challenges culminating in Humanitarian crises ranging from displacement, economic hardship unemployment which has imposed public health issues on the population.. These problems have led to increased demand on health needs of the people and this requires concerted efforts toward rebuilding and sustaining the health resources of the stage."
"Luckily, sound healthcare service to the citizenry is on the very top priority of the Borno Government to ensure that no citizen is left out of the sound health care services, through the establishment of the Contributory Healthcare Scheme,"he said.
Jatau said that Borno state has been among the leading states in terms of meeting the existing health facilities but it's efforts were compromised by inadequate staffing, adding that Based on the RAMS 2018 report, the state has about 810 facilities, comprising of about 85 Primary Health Care Hospitals, 317 health clinics, 294 health posts, 57 IDPs clinics, 3 Tertiary Hospitals and 53 Secondary Health Facilities but lamented that only 424 of the Health facilities were fully functional, nothing that 64 percent hospitals were damaged by the insurgents.
While listing four dimension of achieving a sustainable health care workforce which included availability of competence, responsiveness and productivity, he said "Looking at the health indices in Borno state, there is a need for delibrate policy for achieving both number and quality of Specialist for qualitative and affordable healthcare to the growing population of the stage.
He commended Gov. Babagana Zulum for constituting a high powered Committee to develop a blue print for an establishment of a State University Teaching Hospital with a view toward providing effective, qualitative and affordable healthcare to the people of the state.

BOSG Reintroduces Common Entrance Examination Before Gaining Admission to JSS 1
BOSG reintroduces common entrance Examination before gaining admission to JSS1
.'No common entrance, no JSS 1- Governor Zulum
By Madu Mohammed, Maiduguri
The Borno state government has directed for the immediate reintroduction be of Common Entrance Examination to primary six pupils, before proceeding to Junior Secondary schools across the state.
Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno state who disclosed this while having a meeting with the Principals of 84 secondary schools in the state which held at the Multi Purpose Hall of the Government House, Maiduguri said 'no common entrance no JSS 1 ".
Governor Zulum also directed the enforcement of a qualifying policy that henceforth, only pupils who pass the examination by securing a cut-off mark, should be eligible for admission into the first year of junior secondary schools (JSS 1), as against giving admissions to all pupils regardless of common entrance criteria.
The governor also directed that school authorities must henceforth take all qualifying and promotional examinations seriously as Government will monitor all conducts
During the meeting with the 84 principals of all public secondary schools in the State, Governor Zulum conditioned them to be honest in telling him the realities of challenges in the system, rather than cover-up for fear of victimization.
The Governor,is, who is also a university professor himself, gave the condition in his opening remarks said "I have been to several schools, and each time I asked, some of you principals found it difficult to explain the problems in your schools. I was later made to understand that if you tell me truth, you would either be transferred somewhere you wouldn't like, or somehow be victimized. Please I beg all of you to tell me the truth. Let us tell ourselves the truth so that we can improve Borno's public education from where we are now."
"I am pleading with you to please be upright, be honest. Education is the bedrock of any development. Without functional educational system, we shall continue to experience this Boko Haram insurgency in Borno. Look at the kind of students we are graduating from our public secondary schools, most of them do not qualify for admission into universities, even those who get admitted find it very difficult to cope. I assure you that telling me the truth will not lead to anything happening to any of you by God's grace" Zulum told the principals.
The Governor who went down memory lane to remind the principals of glorious days, and the need for all stakeholders to regain quality in public school system said ""I can recall that twenty years ago, principals were not willing to even become permanent secretaries because of job satisfaction. Today, that satisfaction is longer there. There is general decline in the standard of education in public institutions all over the country.".
"There is the lack of qualified teachers, inadequate teaching facilities, poor maintenance culture, general decay of infrastructure, Government's inability to ensure monitoring and evaluation, centralized control by the Ministry, unnecessary bureaucracy, and irregular training and retraining of teachers and other essential staff. There is poor data management and indiscipline amongst the major problems affecting the public school system" Zulum enumerated.
The Governor assured that measures will continually be adopted to improve the training and welfare of teachers and administrators of public school system to motivate high performance while supervision will be drastically changed for the purpose of punishing those unready to change.
After the Governor's remark, the principals took turns to voice out problems of the 84 secondary schools across Borno's 27 local government areas.
Most of the principals complained about poor quality of primary school graduates who come into secondary schools without strong foundation. They urged the Governor to critically look into reintroduction of common entrance examination at primary six levels, which should be yardstick for admission into secondary schools.

from The Century Dictionary.
- noun A female glutton.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
She has this amazing hips like full moons, these killer eyes that seem to pierce, a large chest, this cute little ponch in the front of her stomach - not in the slightest bit gluttoness, but she eats more than salad and dreams of more than pilates kind of thing - her face was amazingly proportioned, I thought to myself if I saw her in the flesh I would be so attracted to her.

Surprise Bullfight: More Proof That Messhof is Trying to Make His Fans Insane
In Surprise Bullfight, you are a gnome that must traverse an ancient forest and harvest the organs of the native beasts that roam the land, in order to placate a giant lardass of an idol and ensure his appetite is fully sated.
…don't worry, you're not the only one thinking "is this real life?" at this moment. I learned of Messhof's newest mindbang last night, and I'm still trying to figure out if this is a dream or not. The prolific indie dev is definitely known for premises that're, ah, unorthodox, but man, this one might be at the apex of madness.
Just like one of his previous Adult Swim greats Cream Wolf, this is all manner of unsettling, and will leave a lasting, resonant impression on your very soul. I don't want to know about Surprise Bullfight, and yet I want to tell every single person about it. Play it, love it, hate it, and go goddamn insane.

Derek Hough trying to take over for Ryan Seacrest?
HollywoodNews.com: It looks like things might be kept in the family as it seems that Derek Hough may have his eye on one of Ryan Seacrest's gigs.
Derek, whose sister, Julianne Hough, is dating Seacrest, recently filled in for him at E! News, states Hollyscoop. And Derek seemed pretty comfortable with the gig that just might have been given due to his connections.
Seacrest hasn't been on E! News consistently for some time now due to his many other jobs, so Derek might just be going after this opportunity.

I am still waiting for my surgery.
In the meantime, I do art. I use these beautiful markers that have tips like paintbrushes. I have two crochet projects. I catch up on TV show in chunks. Thankfully my husband has a real knack for knowing when I fell asleep during any given episode of any given show. The next night he will pick it back up where I left off. May sound simple, but you have no idea how awesome that is! I never lose a storyline. It's good for my brain.
In other news, I have a million tests and appointments this week. My job has been so cool about letting me bank my hours and use my days to get to these appointments cared for. I'll be getting a CT scan of my pelvis, a mammogram, blood work, urology consultation, medical clearance for surgery, and finally, I developed a swollen lymph node this weekend so get to see if that is something horrible or maybe just an infection from the last surgery. WTF? This little body is in peril.
Last week I got to review my pathology and learned I have a genetic syndrome that makes me 80% more likely to have pelvic cancer. Oddly this made me feel better. I was sort of kicking myself about because I was thinking perhaps I did not care for myself well or some such shit. (I know, it's all bologna. The conversations we have in our head are not always logical.)
I have my brainiac sister doing research on what I can do to better care for myself after the surgical menopause comes on. It's a little scary. Nature would have allowed my body to go through menopausal stages when the time was right. I mourn the loss of that natural process. I seek to just do the best I can to take good care of myself. Without the option of hormone replacement therapy, my options will become pure holistic means– like exercise, food, and herbs I think. My sister is the most intelligent researcher in my family so having her help is a blessing.
I am also having all sorts of normal but difficult feelings about sex. I have the most amazing partner and the best sex of my life with him. I know I am lucky to have this kind of relationship. We are brutally honest with each other. He lives with chronic pain so our sex is this amazing combination of rough and compassionate. Every time we have sex I have thoughts on how this may be the last time sex will feel like this. My body is going to change and I fear the unknown. I try to recognize these thoughts, acknowledge them, and then shake them off. It's all speculation and speculation is a horrible waste of my mind right now.
Due to the never-ending wait, It looks like I will have one last cycle before I lose my uterus. I'm very private. It's awkward writing about it but I feel like I want to tell you everything. I want future and past survivors to know the truth about uterine cancer.
When I was younger I had true hate for my cycle. It interrupted "my life." The pain, the products, the expense. In my early 20s I read a book called Cunt: A Declaration of Independence by Inga Mucio. While I did not chime with everything the author had to say, there were some lovely messages about the female body and its cycles that really resonated with me.
Loving, knowing and respecting our bodies is a powerful and invincible act of rebellion. -Inga Mucio
I grew to appreciate my cycle and listen to my body. I became more kind to myself. (Every woman deserves to have that kind of love and care inside herself and for herself.) I grew to understand that my cycle was not interrupting my life, it was simply part of my life. Making peace with my body made my cycle much easier. I had less pain and brighter days.

|Home > Extent-based incremental identification of reaction systems using concentration and calorimetric measurements
Extent-based incremental identification uses the concept of extents and the integral method of parameter estimation to identify reaction kinetics from concentration measurements. The approach is rather general and can be applied to open both homogeneous and gas-liquid reaction systems. This study proposes to incorporate calorimetric measurements into the extent-based identification approach for two main purposes: (i) to be able to compute the extents in certain cases when only a subset of the concentrations are measured, and (ii) to estimate the enthalpies when all concentrations are measured. The two approaches are illustrated via the simulation of an homogeneous and a gas-liquid reaction system, respectively.

[EDITOR'S NOTE: News of the Weird author Chuck Shepherd has retired. Until further notice, this column is written by the Editors at Andrews McNeel.]
Jordan Haskins, 26, was sentenced to probation and sex counseling in May after pleading guilty to eight charges arising from two auto accidents in Saginaw, Michigan. Prosecutors said Haskins described "cranking," in which he would remove a vehicle's spark-plug wires to make it "run rough," which supposedly improves his chances for a self-service happy ending. Haskins's lawyer added, "[Cranking] is something I don't think we understand as attorneys."
Le Plat Sal (The Dirty Plate) restaurant in the Marais district of Paris features specialties actually containing dirt–or as Chef Solange Gregoire calls it, "the mud of the earth that caresses our toes, the sand kissed by the sun, and rocks." Mused a Food Network host in April, "What's left? People are already eating snout-to-tail, leaves-to-roots…." Gregoire extolled her four-star dishes, including pastry crust a la Mont Lachat rock and a Boue Ragout stew simmered with silt from the River Seine. (NPR also noted that the founder of The Shake Shack was "quietly" planning a new American chain, Rock in Roll.)
Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak's 98-page paper (leaked to Business Insider in April) touted the wealth obtainable by capturing the platinum reputed to be in asteroids. The costs to mine the stone (rockets, launch expenses, etc.) might have dropped recently to about $3 billion–a trifle next to the $50 billion worth of platinum Poponak said a single asteroid might contain. (On the other hand, experts point out, such abundance of platinum might crash the worldwide price.)
Yale University graduate students (well, at least eight of them), claiming "union" status, demonstrated in front of the Yale president's home in April demanding better benefits (beyond the annual free tuition, $30,000 stipends and free health care). Some of the students characterized their action as an "indefinite fast" while others called it a "hunger strike." However, a pamphlet associated with the unionizing made it clear that strikers could go eat any time they got hungry.
Police in Cleveland are searching for the woman whose patience ran out on April 14 awaiting her young son's slow haircut at Allstate Barber College. She pulled out a pistol, took aim at the barber and warned: "I got two clips! I'll pop you." She allowed him to finish up–more purposefully, obviously–and left without further incident. And Barbara Lowery, 24, was arrested for disorderly conduct in Cullman, Alabama, in May after police spotted her standing on a car, stomping out the windshield and smashing the sun roof. She said it was a boyfriend's car, that she thought he was cheating on her, and that she had spent the previous night "thinking" about what to do, "pray[ing] about it and stuff." (However, she said, "I did it anyway.")
A Netherlands startup company announced in March its readiness to release drones capable of tracking freshly deposited dog poop (via an infrared glow from the pile) and, eventually, be guided (perhaps via GPS and artificial intelligence) to scoop up the deposits and carry them away.
Researcher-inventor Eijiro Miyako announced in the journal Chem in March that he had created a drone that pollinates flowers (though requiring human guidance until GPS and AI can be enabled). Miyako's adhesive gel lightly brushes pollen grains, collecting just enough to touch down successfully onto another flower to pollinate it.
Social critics and futurists suggest that the next great market for computerization (already underway) will be selling "human improvement" (alas, perhaps merely helping already successful people to even greater heights). Some sports teams are experimenting with "transcranial direct current stimulation" as a way to put athletes' brains into constant alert, and KQED Radio reported in May that about a third of the San Francisco Giants players have donned weak-current headsets that cover the motor cortex at the top of the head. The team's sports scientist (bonus name: Geoff Head!) said players performed slightly better on some drills after the stimulation. (One the other hand, at press time, the Giants were still next-to-last in the National League West.)
In February, a 52-year-old man who, arrested for DUI and taken to a police station in Germany's Lower Saxony state, wound up spontaneously confessing to a 1991 cold-case murder in Bonn. Police confirmed that, after reopening the files, they found details matching the man's account, though the man himself was "not quite clear" why he had confessed.

Following the disastrous Disembodied Voices Christmas Telethon Variety Show with No Actual Telephone and Questionable Variety (along with Bryan's failure to redeem the holiday and not die), the third and final act of this holiday special shares with the world one last moral. Stephen, Cameron, and Zachary are in for one sad Christmas as they struggle to make ends meet, but can hope be found in a future without the lovably familiar podcast everyone (or a few people at least) knows and loves?
One would hope so, because this is also the final curtain call for a super fun show that has miraculously lasted almost four years. Yes, for serious, Disembodied Voices is officially shutting down and shutting up– this is a fond, fond, fond (way fond) farewell. To find out why this dreadful day has come to pass, listen to this ridiculous episode full of audio dramas, segments, Christmas, and good memories. But don't be toooooooooo sad. After all, the DV Cast will be hanging out at Whales are Whales every darn week, including a podcast that resembles this show just a little lot.
So thanks for listening– really, THANKS. It's been real, and occasionally, distinctly surreal. Have a life!

You teach people how to treat you.
I have no idea where I first ran across this statement, but I have seen its truth repeatedly since then.
No, you don't determine a person's character, and therefore how they will treat you in your first interactions. But after that, many of the decisions they make regarding you are based on what they believe you will or will not do, take or not take.
The more consistent your behavior – whether negative or positive – the stronger the lesson you're teaching will be.
For example, if you always say no, but then turn around and do the same thing you were adamant about not doing, you're teaching that a little pressure or a guilt trip goes a long way with you. You're teaching that your "no" doesn't hold water. You're teaching that your words don't need to be taken seriously or respected.
People will always try to get their way, it's who we are. The question is, should that be your issue? Is what someone else wants always more important than what you want? Hint: your answer should be no.
Decide on what you want in life, decide on how you want to be treated, and begin to 'reteach' people how to treat you. How?
Speak definitively.
Be clear about your meaning. Don't leave people with the impression that if they just keep pushing a little you will cave. If you haven't made a decision yet, then say that and let them know you will think about it and get back to them. Then make sure to get back to them. You have to have made a decision about how you wish to be treated and deserve to be treated before you'll have the confidence to do this.
Act in accordance.
Now that you've said what you meant clearly, do what you said you were going to do. If you made a promise, keep it. If you can't, let that person know ahead of time. Otherwise you'll be teaching that you're irresponsible and unreliable. If you said no, stick to it. Of course it's possible that after more thought, you realized you wanted something different and that's fine. However, if you're known for being indecisive and lose opportunities as a result, you can't do this during your 'reteaching' phase. You have to stick with your word.
Be consistent.
You can't do the above two steps once and think it will make a difference in how people treat you. It won't. Your behavior has to be consistent. You're trying to change the opinions of others that are based on months or years of your own behavior. It won't happen overnight. How consistent you are will have a big impact on how seriously you are taken and how long it will take. I have to pause here though: once you decide on what you want, need, and deserve, time is no longer a factor. It's no longer about others' opinions or trying to prove something. It becomes about doing something for yourself that needs to be done. It becomes about being real. It becomes about living life fully. It becomes about being effective, reaching for new opportunities, and achieving goals.
It's when you finally realize who you are, what you deserve, how you've been sabotaging yourself, and decide to do something positive about it.
You teach people how to treat you. Teach the right lesson.
You teach people how to treat you. Teach by example – treat yourself well.
Leave a comment below and let me know your thoughts on the matter. Thanks.

There's nothing really wrong with the drama "Man on a Ledge," but there's nothing really right about it either. Everything – story, acting, effects, script – needed to be about 37% better to lift the movie from "meh" to "pretty good."
Avatar's Sam Worthington stars as the titular character. He's a former cop named Nick Cassidy in New York serving time for stealing a diamond from a client he was protecting as a side job. He busts free from prison, rents a swanky room, enjoys a bit of room service, and takes his after dinner stroll on the ledge outside. He's innocent, he tells you, and he will prove it or die trying.
Luckily, he's got backup. His brother (Jamie Bell) and his brother's sassy Latina girlfriend (Genesis Rodriguez) spring into action in an elaborate plot to, well, do something. It's not immediately clear exactly what. Nick's old partner Mike (Anthony Mackie) keeps coming 'round. But a traumatized, tired police negotiator named Lydia with a haunting failure to overcome (Elizabeth Banks) might just be his greatest ally.
So Nick spends the movie standing on his ledge, randomly yelling at watchers below or threatening to jump. Meanwhile, his brother and chica drill through walls and talk sassy and Lydia wanders around swilling coffee and chewing out coworkers.
You see where it is all going clearly, like you're standing on some metaphorical movie-watching ledge with a really good view. The fact that Nick, on his cop salary and post-court felon bank account, seems to have an endless supply of cash…no problem. The fact that an uber-trained SWAT team seems to find nothing strange in taking down a suicidal man, with kill shots if necessary…no problem. The fact that corruption in the police department happens to show up in exactly the right spot to cause Nick trouble…no problem.
No problem because you've suspended disbelief and you're here for a good time.
But when the movie starts dropping even more coincidences and leaps of wild unlikelihood like the dollar bills Nick casts in bunches from the ledge, that's when we can't follow any more. Nick may still be suspended 30 stories up, but disbelief is not.
Time to buy a ticket to "The Grey" instead.

A look at the three leading apple shipping states; Mexican avocado imports; and the approval of imported mangoes from Vietnam.
U.S. Apple Shipments
Christmas apple shipments are always big in the U.S. and vast amount of loading are coming out of Washington's Yakima and Wenachee Valleys. Washington state is shipping around 3500 truck load equivalents of apples a week! A distant second is the state of New York, which is moving about 250 trucks weekly, led by the Hudson Valley, although there are probably a half dozen production areas spread across the state. In Michigan, mostly from the western part of the state centered around Grand Rapids, about 225 truck loads of fruit is being shipped each week.
Washington apples – grossing about $8000 to New York City.
Mexican Avocados
Hass avocado volume from Mexico is forecast at 1.8 million to 1.9 million metric tons, up from 1.7 million metric tons in 2016-17. Nearly 80 percent of all Mexican avocadoes are exported to the U.S., though shipments to Canada, Japan and European countries have risen in recent years.
Mexican exports of avocados should hit nearly 1 million metric tons (95 million 23-pound cartons) in 2017-18, up 15 percent from 873,963 metric tons (83.5 million cartons) in 2016-17. Mexican avocado plantings increased 7.3 percent in 2016-17 to 544,457 acres, and another increase is predicted for 2017-18.
The Mexican state of Michoacan is the world leader in avocado production and accounts for 80 percent of all the country's avocado production.
Mexican produce crossing the South Texas border – grossing about $4700 to New York City.
Vietnam Mango Imports
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is amending its regulations to allow the importation of fresh mango fruit from Vietnam into the continental United States. After analyzing the potential plant pest risks, APHIS scientists determined that mangos from Vietnam can be safely imported.
The final rule was published in the Federal Register on November 29th, and will become effective 30 days after publication, or on December 29th.

Review of The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart's debut self-titled album released through Furtuna Pop!
The Pains of Being Pure At Heart make such a definite and forceful nod towards shoegaze indie bands of 1980s-yore that it is frankly surprising that any of their heads are still attached to their spinal columns. Xylophone? Check! Ethereal, wispy vocals? Check! Heavily distorted guitars, chiming away relentlessly behind one-string solos? Check!
Well, that's them nicely pigeon-holed then. In this case, though, this is less a case of pigeon-holing a band, as watching them carefully apply beak, feathers and ankle-tag and clambering in there themselves. Influences are worn boldly on sleeves and The Pains of Being Pure At Heart painstakingly recreate the sounds of the Aislers Set and a sped-up Smiths. In 'modern' day terms, they are not entirely unlike the Manhattan Love Suicides or Newcastle's Pale Man Made.
Thankfully, this particular form of historical recreation is decidedly more entertaining than, say, watching some fellas dressing up as knights and re-enacting a jousting match. TPOBPAT have nailed the art of the perfect scuzzed-up pop song. As long it's not 'original' or 'groundbreaking' you're after, there is joy to be had here. just remember.they have one foot in the Noughties and the other tangled up in an old C86 cassette tape.

Ben Bernanke on the economy: "the expansion so far this year has been modest," echoing his earlier comments that "the economic recovery appears to be proceeding at a moderate pace."
But in addressing the "soft patch," he again went to his fallback position: the weakness is "the result of several factors that are are likely to be temporary," listing higher gasoline and food prices and the Japan quake as the main culprits.
On QE2: "we did not expect it to be a panacea for the country's economic problems" but "the program had the intended effects of reducing the risk of deflation and shoring up economic activity." Their expectations that it would lead to job growth "were relatively modest" (about 30,000 jobs a month).
On the possibility of QE3: the Fed has "alternatives for deploying additional stimulus if conditions warrant." He listed "providing explicit guidance" about how long the fed fund rates and the Fed's balance sheet would remain at current levels. A second option would be QE3 (more securities purchases).
On inflation: "Inflation has picked up so far this year" but should show a "significant slowing" in the second half of the year.
On the mood of consumers: "Households report that they have little confidence in the durability of the recovery and about their own income prospects."

Monthly Mural Wrap: A Dozen Tags for November, 2013 | KCET
Monthly Mural Wrap: A Dozen Tags for November, 2013
With the announcement that murals will be allowed on private homes in some city neighborhoods, this Guadalupe mural in Boyle Heights guides this month's monthly wrap into a holiday season that brings muralists tidings of news joy.
Story continues below
Single-family homes in council district's 1, 9, and 14 will soon be allowed to have murals, announced council offices yesterday, supporting the amendment to the mural ordinance. The pilot program also allows art on "exterior door openings," such as roll-down steel doors on commercial buildings. Artists (or their sponsors) in these districts can now join the pool of mural projects buying into permits with a $60 application fee. A formal final sign-off for the amendment is expected. "I understand that in some parts of our city, residents would prefer not to have murals on single family homes, but in my district, we are actively working with local non-profits and residents to reclaim and beautify our streets, and murals are an important component of our community improvement plan," Councilmember Curren Price said in a statement.
W.B. "Barry" Fontenot is the pride of Walla Walla, Washington. "The Communal Distraction from Evolution" is his 24-by-15-foot mural, now installed at the Federal Bar in downtown Long Beach. The artist stated that the bar is "a perfect fit for the mural, 'a hip, bohemian place, that's coming into its own.'" He hopes it will appeal to viewers, artistically and aesthetically, and inspire reflection, reports Walla Walla Union.
The initial author of the mural ordinance, Tanner Blackman, recently married Takae Nagamiya. Together, they are running with a graffiti crew-like nickname; "T&T." One gift was a mural by Petal One' at Seventh and Mateo in the Arts District.
Bellflower politicos bounced a mural proposal that was slated to use historical themes on a wall under construction. City Council "directed city staff to return with drawings that would incorporate the 'village' theme, but attract the younger generation," reports Long Beach Wave. No word if "attract the younger generation" means they want a mural with street art aesthetic, or that painting civic history is too dry a topic for a village aiming for youth.
Murals are not just an influence of storytelling and creative planning for locals. When Stan Holcomb was raised in the mean streets of El Monte, he recalls passing that "mural with all the kids" as a child riding the back seat of a car. Now he's using the idea of large-scale art to make a difference as Public Arts Commission Chair for Leander, Texas, population 26,251, just north of Austin. Murals are on his planning agenda, said Holcomb. He hopes to find ways for children in his neck of Texas to get the same experience he has. Growing up with the memory of being driven past art, marking a journey home or back.
As planned, "A View of the World from Isla Vista" was dedicated in September. "The students leave a little bit of legacy behind and have this wonderful work to show," said Ann Hefferman in a report from UC Santa Barbara The Bottom Line. "I know I learned as much from the students as I taught them, so it was definitely a collaborative project." The UCSB Urban Art Workshop will produce two more murals, one in spring and the next one in summer of 2014.
It's odd that a baby alien was lifted from a mural in Roswell, New Mexico. Roswell Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Dorrie Faubus-McCarty, has no answer to the heist and speculates it was beamed away. Central California artist, muralist, and Cal-State Long Beach alum John Cerney painted a new child alien and shipped to Roswell.
LA Observed publisher Kevin Roderick took a trip up to the Mojave desert and snapped this photo. It's not as majestic as Cadillac Ranch in Potter County, Texas, but there is a charm to this golf carts working as roadside public art. Writing on the Wall dubs the installation California City Cart Walk.
Christopher Reynolds spotted the L.A. archetype for a suitable avatar, in case the city needs one. The image comes from being "designed to give this sprawling, many-tongued city a universal female image who transcends ethnicity." The two faces with a related aura are on two different pieces. One he calls, "Our Lady of the Trains," and the other is located at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels on Grand Avenue.
Mayor Eric Garcetti took to the streets, desk and all, to talk "Great Streets Initiative" with Angelenos. To get it on the record here, he made the declaration of "And while we're at it, let's add some sculptures and murals," reports City Watch.
Coachella Valley High School has been under fire for the mascot "Arab," which is often used as a fierce caricature, typical for sports mascots. There is a demand, led by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, for it to be changed, as they believe it carries negative stereotypes of Arab-Americans. The mascot was chosen in the early 20th century for the region's connection to crops, the date festival, and was "never intended to dishonor or ridicule anyone," district superintendent Darryl Adams stated in a letter the Desert Sun. The school district is determined to not change the name, but will review the image of the mascot, which would include the series of murals on campus. Some of those works have the offending image, while another has a romanticized version of a couple that is far from the scowling warrior wearing a turban. The coverage has been national, including Al Jazeera America.
"I put it all together over a span of three months," said Bryan "Birdman" Mier"Three trips, each lasting one day, with a different group of artists who were only given one day to work." Birdman trailed a tribe of graffiti artists and made this video at the abandoned water park in Newberry Springs, first known as "Lake Dolores," then "Rock-A-Hoola."

Army Veteran to return their Medals in protest of the Modi Government not fulfilling their demands of the one rank one pension.
By: Sakshita Khosla on India.com
New Delhi, October 29: Taking a leaf out of the dissenting artists and intellectuals' books, the armed forces' veterans have decided to return their war medals in order to mount pressure on the Narendra Modi government for the implementation of the One Rank One Pension issue. A news report by news channel India Today claimed that Major General Satbir Singh has decided to lead the 'Medal Wapsi' movement, parallel to the Award Wapsi movement that is going on in the country.
This comes after 12 film makers, close to 60 writers and one scientist returned prestigious government honours in protest. Some 100 scientists have also written to the government, voicing their concerns against the atmosphere of intolerance in the country and a group of historians have also let their dissent known. Enraged and frustrated with the government dragging its feet on the implementation of the policy, the ex servicemen had planned a huge protest rally on October 31. Around 5,000 veterans have planned to gather in the Azad Maidan in Mumbai to protest against slow government action on the issue. Also Read: No faith in Manohar Parrikar's statement on OROP: Ex-servicemen
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had earlier said that the scheme will be rolled out after the Bihar elections since the model code of conduct is in place right now. However, the veterans had displayed in complete lack of faith in Parrikar's statement. "The minister has changed the goalposts and hence the veterans have no faith in this statement. Keeping in view the track record of the government and the minister on OROP implementation, we have no faith in this statement. This is just another statement. He has been changing the goalposts," Satbir Singh had told IANS.

TMD (TMJ) and Migraine Headaches By Sara Goldstein
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) is a condition in which your bite becomes misaligned, causing many serious and often painful health problems. You will see the acronyms TMJ and TMD often used interchangeably, but they will also be used to distinguish the joint (TMJ) from the actual disorder of the joint (TMD).
One of the most painful and debilitating symptoms of TMD is migraine headache. Many physicians, even neurologists, have not received the dental training required to diagnose TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) problems and how they relate to your migraines. Neuromuscular dentistry is the branch of dentistry that helps people correct the jaw problems that have caused them pain for years, possibly even decades.
TMD causes migraines because the trigeminal nerve is one of the most powerful and complex nerves in the human body. This nerve is completely responsible for the temporomandibular joint and tooth functions and accounts for over 40% of the brain�s processing. The trigeminal nerve has three branches, all affecting various parts of the face, head, shoulders and arms. The pain and muscle tightness associated with TMD can even affect your hands and fingers.
Pain related to TMD may be sharp and searing or dull and constant. Pain is typically over the joint immediately in front of the ear but can radiate elsewhere and cause spasms in the muscles attached to the bones of the skull, face and jaws. Some of the most notable symptoms of TMD are:
. Limited jaw movement
. Locking, clicking, and popping of the jaw
. Tingling or numbness in the fingers
.Difficulty swallowing
. Headaches
.Stiff or tight jaw muscles
.Ear problems, including ringing and pressure
.Neck, shoulder, and back pain
Many times, patients see doctors for severe headache and are given medications to treat the pain of the headache; however, there is often no treatment provided for what is actually causing the headaches. Neuromuscular dentistry is the specialized area of dentistry that treats the cause, not just the symptoms, of the painful headaches associated with a misaligned jaw.
If you would like to learn more about how neuromuscular dentists treat TMD and TMD-associated headaches, please contact Dr. Jagmail Basrai and his staff at The Dental Gym in Essex and London, UK
