Gestational diabetes is the type of persistent high blood sugar that's first detected during pregnancy. Pregnancy increases glucose levels and insulin production—both of which are measured in the Gestational Diabetes Test (GDT). Though the test is routinely given by most physicians—even to low-risk women—gestational diabetes (GD) only affects about 6% of women.
GD can cause a lot of health problems for both mom and baby so if the condition is real, the test could be life saving. But the test is not 100% accurate—it's about 76%—so women without GD could be diagnosed as having it (false positive), and women with GD could be missed (false negative).
Being diagnosed with it shifts you from low-risk status to high-risk, and that means a lot more tests, appointments, and usually, interventions during labor.
What is the test?
In the US, women are usually tested for GD between weeks 24 and 28 by drinking a 50 gram glucose-laden syrupy drink (glucola) within 5 minutes and are tested an hour later to see if their blood sugar level is too high.
If it is (about 15%-23% of the time), the glucose tolerance test (GTT) is given where they drink 100 grams then are tested after 3 hours. In other countries, the dosage and times differ slightly.
Who needs it and can I refuse it?
Women who may not need the GDT
- Remain low-risk throughout pregnancy (good weight, healthy diet, sufficient exercise, enough water, reasonable portion sizes)
- Are 25 years old or younger
- Not a member of a racial group that tends to have higher risk due to obesity: African American, Mexican-American, Native American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, or Asian-American
- Have BMI (body mass index) of less than or equal to 25—the Center for Disease Control (CDC) classifies 25 as overweight
- No personal history of high glucose level or having had a very large baby
- No first-degree relative who has diagnosed diabetes
If you match these criteria, do you need the test? It's an on-going debate, but many low-risk women refuse it.
But some hospitals or birthing centers won't allow you to refuse it, so check with the facility you're planning to birth in.
Your hospital medical records list your GDT results. If those results were borderline, the staff often approaches your labor from the perspective that C-section or other interventions are likely instead of trusting you and your body to give birth naturally.
What's the treatment?
ACOG (the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology) used to recommend that every woman be tested. And many physicians still do regular GD screening as a matter of habit and liability prevention.
But now ACOG says if you meet the above criteria and maintain your low-risk status throughout pregnancy, you could safely refuse the test. ACOG recommends medication only if nutritional and lifestyle changes don't control blood sugar levels.
Another option
Your care provider could do random blood tests throughout pregnancy to monitor your blood sugar, like half the women in the UK and Netherlands do.
According to Evidence-Based Birth (EBB), ACOG affirmed that all women, but especially low-risk, have the right to refuse the GDT and prevent the inclination of care attendants to interfere.
"Pregnant women's autonomous decisions should be respected. … In the absence of extraordinary circumstances, … judicial authority should not be used to implement treatment regimens aimed at protecting the fetus, for such actions violate the pregnant woman's autonomy."
Bottom line: the first approach to GD is nutritional counseling and lifestyle changes like upping your exercise—the same changes recommended to any diabetic.
If you are low-risk and have a diet and lifestyle that keeps you that way, EBB suggests you ask yourself, "What will I change if the test is positive?" If your answer isn't diet and lifestyle because you're already awesome on those points, then you could consider yourself as a diet-controlled gestational diabetic.

Police need to make split-second decisions in dangerous situations. A high-tech gun range will soon be operational to help Cedar Park police think faster and smarter.
"We're the first department in Texas to have this system," Cedar Park Police Chief Sean Mannix said.
The 800-square-foot building packs two lanes for target practice and includes an interactive Milo Range simulator to virtually expose officers to scenarios they'd encounter in real life. While using the simulator, police will train their way through more than 400 scenarios, dealing with anything from domestic disputes to the active shooter in a school.
"This provides a quality and realistic experience to the officers," Mannix said.
According to Mannix, the goal of this new training is to allow members of his department to think about what they did right and what they could have done better.
"After situations we go over the things we could have done differently," he said.
"This way we can practice with things that haven't already happened in real life."
Additionally, officers will not have to make their normal trek to Hutto to keep up with their firearms qualifications.
"Our annual qualifications will now be quarterly qualifications," Mannix said. "We are providing our citizens with the very best trained officers in the state."
The facility cost $470,000 and was funded with money Cedar Park Police didn't use in last year's budget. Other locals police departments will be allowed to utilize the training under the supervision of the Cedar Park Police Department.

text: New service to assess safeguarding referrals A new service that will assess referrals for children at risk of neglect and abuse has opened in Liverpool. 'The Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub' (MASH) sees children's social workers and staff from Merseyside Police, NHS Liverpool/Liverpool CCG, the National Probation Service, Merseyside Community Rehabilitation, Liverpool Housing Providers (housing associations) and housing all co-located and working together. The purpose of the MASH is to gather intelligence and share information across different organisations to enable a more accurate assessment of risk and need to inform the most appropriate response. It aims to provide:- ► Earlier identification and understanding of risks to children and their families. ► Better victim identification and intervention. ► Better harm identification and reduction concerning individuals, families and communities. ► Earlier support for individuals and their families, reducing demand for specialist care. ► Better responses to risk with coordinated support, planning and clear accountability. The MASH is focused on cases which are not clear cut and where further information via different agencies will affirm what level of assistance is needed. Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson - who opened the new facility at Venture Place on Sir Thomas Street - said:- "As a social worker I know the importance of making sure we have the best possible arrangements in place to support vulnerable people. This is a welcome addition to the City's existing safeguarding arrangements and provides a real opportunity to give vulnerable children, young people and their families the support they need when they most need it. It builds on our long history of partnership working and the support of key partners such as police, health, probation and housing." The aim is for the service to expand to deal with cases involving vulnerable adults and establishing links with wider safeguarding arrangements including domestic abuse, child sexual exploitation and violent extremism. Merseyside's Deputy Police Commissioner Cllr Ann O'Byrne, said:- "I was delighted to attend the opening of Liverpool's new MASH. The MASH is an essential element of our new Victim Care Merseyside service, which aims to ensure people with the greatest need are directed to the best placed team to help them. In the case of our vulnerable young people, the MASH will be that team. By bringing all the agencies that are involved in safeguarding our children and young people under one roof we can ensure we are working as effectively and efficiently as possible to protect them and delivering the highest standard of care and support."

Paddington 2
A truly enjoyable and charming family movie
3/4 stars
Paddington wouldnt hesitate if any of us needed help!
He looks for the good in all of us.
We have an annual tradition. The last day of the year we go to the cinema with the whole family to end that year with a cozy family film. This year the kids had their minds set on an adventure of the adorable and over-friendly British bear Paddington. To be honest, I was reluctant to watch this movie and I intended to use the full duration of this film to make up for my sleep shortage caused by the Christmas holiday. But I have to admit that I actually enjoyed Paddingtons adventure. Better yet, there were even times when I laughed out loud. And believe me, that isnt something I do often during a film.
A good indication wether the film was a success or not, are my two children. Full of excitement they were watching the film without fidgeting in their chairs and without nagging for another snack constantly. I hadnt seen Paddingtons first film, unlike my two little brats. I can only remember the hilarious bathroom scene where a terrible amount of water was used. I was hoping this film would be packed with such crazy situations and that it wouldnt be a corny, honeyed tearjerker. And you can rest assured. There are plenty of those crazy situations. From the beginning it became clear that we would see a series of visual jokes Buster Keaton would be jealous about. From two adult bears rescueing young Paddington in the Amazon forest to the mess Paddington caused during the execution of his jobs. Jobs that he has to carry out so he can buy a huge picture book for his aunts birthday. A picture book that has hints so you could find a treasure (something Paddington doesnt know of course).
In terms of acting, its mainly that of Hugh Grant and Brendan Gleeson I liked the most. Hugh Grant as the narcissistic-minded Phoenix Buchanan whose house is full of self-portraits. Perhaps the subtle humor wont be noticed by the younger viewers, but the way the actor Buchanan demonstrates the exaggerated portion of self-mockery, can be called truly brilliant. Obviously, the way he tries to discover the clues in several London landmarks is rather exaggerated. But the entertainment value is of a very high level. It s also a joy to watch Brendan Gleeson as Knuckles McGinty. Hes the frightening cook in the kitchen of the prison where Paddington ended up. And he runs that kitchen like a real tyrant. The fact that Paddingtons fellow prisoners look rather pink in their prison outfit because of Paddingtons clumsy behavior and then they demonstrate their pastry skills, isnt top-class humor either. But again, the entertainment value is shockingly high.
All in all, this is a successful family film every person of any age can enjoy. And the release date is also chosen strategically. After all, its the Christmas period. However, I dont think it will match the success of Home Alone. Im sure well still see the latter on a multitude of television channels every year. Unfortunately, because I like a bit of variety. I had a double feeling about the ending. At first I thought it was an artificial trick to get the audience into a sentimental mood. But then it took a completely different turn when I heard the reaction of my youngest son, who, after his mother told him how it would end, replied surprised : How did you know that, mum ?. At that moment I think jealousy came into play. I realized that I had lost the wondering and amazement that a child experiences. I am rarely surprised by a film. Most of the times I can predict the ending of a film in advance and I realize afterwards that Im analyzing the film instead of enjoying it. And that little boy is overwhelmed by that self-evident ending. A film with lovely Paddington made me realize this. A film is a weird medium.

Recently I wanted to get back on track with cooking healthy(er) and, in the name of accountability, committed to sharing what I've been serving my family every night this month. Plus, don't you just love peeking into other peoples' homes? Well, here we go! {Read more about the idea behind my September Re-Set and see what I ate during week 2, week 3, and week 4.}
So far, so good! I planned well, shopped well, and prepped well so dinners were a breeze this week. I spent about 90 minutes over the weekend chopping, mixing, and organizing so individual meals came together incredibly fast.
The first week of a new change always seems easy because it's still exciting and you're energized about your progress. I'm hoping I keep this up for week 2, because we're feeling great in our house – AND we've made it a full week with completely clean plates and no dinnertime drama from the kids. WHAT?!? This is amazing.
Sept. 1 – grilled chicken sausage, garlic sweet potato mash, salad
I'd made the sweet potatoes in advance so all I had to do was heat them in the microwave, grill some sausage, and toss a salad. Simple, healthful, and delicious. Time to table: 20 minutes.
Sept. 2 – grilled chicken tacos with cabbage slaw, cilantro lime dressing (very loosely based on this recipe), and queso fresco on corn tortillas with canned black beans on the side
I'd pre-seasoned the chicken (very loosely based on this seasoning combo) and pre-mixed the dressing over the weekend, so all I had to do was grill the chicken, toss the cabbage slaw with the dressing, heat the beans with some salsa for extra flavor, and throw the tortillas into a pan to warm them up. This was amazing, and by far the weeknight winner for all of us. Time to table: 20 minutes.
Sept. 3 – slow cooker BBQ pulled pork over cilantro-lime-dressed cabbage slaw tossed with black beans, corn, and red onions
Oh hello, double duty. I'm no fool. Yesterday's dressing and cabbage slaw re-appeared but got a facelift. This salad was another winner, and held up amazing as leftovers. I also used it as taco filling for lunch with some grilled chicken. Since I'd made the pork and roasted the corn during my weekend prep time, the time to table was ridiculous: 5 minutes.
Sept. 4 – asian short ribs over rice noodles
We were in a hurry to leave the house this evening, so I didn't get a chance to sauté veggies on the side as originally planned. Still, I figured my home-cooked meal without veggies was better than fast food in our rush. This was just fine, but nobody's fave. We probably won't make this again. Time to table: 20 minutes (for the noodles).
Sept. 5 – turkey chili verde over rice with cheddar cheese
After a busy weekend day, I was proud that we avoided take-out. We ate some chili I had frozen a couple of months ago after cooking a large batch. I just had to make rice, because that's how I eat my chili. You should try it. I'm not sure you'll go back. Time to table: 20 minutes (for the rice).
Sept. 6 – roast chicken & potatoes with roasted carrots with thyme
I LOVE Sunday dinners. Unhurried time in the kitchen is life-giving for me, and I really enjoy cooking something a little more labor-intensive and special for Sunday evenings. While it takes some prep work and a little extra effort, this recipe is SO worth it. The chicken is delicious, the skin crispy & seasoned, and the potatoes are cooked in the pan drippings. Seriously. Why haven't you bought yourself a chicken yet and started this dish? Time to table: 2+ hours, but who cares? I spatchcocked a chicken, I chopped some vegetables, I drank some wine. #LivingTheDream
Sept. 7 – grilled sausage, loaded baked potato salad, corn on the cob, baked beans, pears, and chips
Hello Labor Day BBQ with friends! Obviously this menu wasn't the healthiest of the week (exacerbated by the fact that it was finished off with s'mores over the fire pit), but at least I didn't default to convenience foods. And since the point of this whole exercise is not perfection, but rather to make a grace-filled effort to get back on track, I'm wholly satisfied with this week.
Tune in next week to see if I can keep this up. I hope it goes just as well (and is just as delicious) as this one!

We arrived at Stranda
after 7-8 hours of driving
from Oslo~
We were then invited to Lars' place
for dinner~
The house is located up on the hill...
so accompanying us eating the dinner,
was the nice view of Stranda!
We could even see the red tent
of ours~
After the dinner
and a few hours of chit chat there,
we walked down the hill
to where we stayed.
The 'center' area of Stranda
was quiet...
We walked a bit there,
then headed back to Stranda Feriesenter
which was where we rent a camping place for ourselves~
The camping place
costed 190 Kroner per night~
and the shower costed 10 Kroner for 4 minutes~
(Interesting right? Lol)
Besides camping plass,
they do have some hytta (cabins)
but we were too late to book one~
So we built up our tent
right beside where we parked the car~
Red car red tent! Lol!!
The place has a shared kitchen
where the people stay there can cook food
(Eating out in Norway is extremely expensive!!)
But note that,
there is no fridge there~
Otherwise the kitchen is kinda good....
Shower is the part that is
not so very good.
You must pay to use shower,
or more like use the hot water
(In Norway it is impossible to take cold shower..lol)
And the machine is kinda stupid.
Once you insert the card,
you use up 10 Kroner and it only gives you 4 minutes
of hot water~
Come on! 4 minutes!!
We did buy 20 Kroner,
but not sure if we get more than 8 minutes..
or just 2 times of 4 minutes~
this part is kinda nice...
bathrooms and toilets for kids!!!
To be continued...

This mixed-method study assessed the impact of an internet-based, self-management intervention "HeLP-Diabetes" on the psychological well-being of adults with type 2 diabetes. Nineteen participants were recruited from 3 general practices. Data were collected at baseline and at 6 weeks follow-up. Access to HeLP-Diabetes was associated with a significant decrease in participants' diabetes-related distress , , and . No significant differences were found in emotional distress or self-efficacy. The qualitative data found that participants reported improvements including increased self-efficacy and support, better management of low mood, greater diabetes awareness, and taking the condition more seriously. Participants also reported making improvements to their eating habits, exercise routine, and medical management. Some negative experiences associated with using the intervention were mentioned including feelings of guilt for not using the intervention as suggested or not making any behavioral changes, as well as technical and navigational frustrations with the intervention. Internet-based self-management interventions may have the potential to decrease diabetes-related distress in people with type 2 diabetes. The qualitative data also suggests internet interventions can positively impact both psychological and behavioural outcomes of adults with type 2 diabetes.

Sadly, even the icon of the reception venue is hideous. I tried my hardest to make it look good from the outside and even added a flag for some visual interest. It's just not a pretty building. You win some, you lose some, I guess. On a postive note, check out how cute the church icon is! It's even close to the real thing.

Whether your home needs a complete renovation, or a room needs to be repaired, there are some things to know before you hire.
There has perhaps never been a better tool for do-it-yourself home handymen than the internet. With detailed instructions and videos explaining how to perform a number of common maintenance and renovation tasks around a house, an untrained homeowner might be surprised at how much he or she can accomplish with a quick search online. But even with all of this information, there are still many jobs that lie far outside the scope of most DIY enthusiasts. General contractors are there to fill in this gap.
A general contractor specializes in seeing a home remodel or repair project through from start to finish. To do this, the contractor works with the client - whether they are a homeowner or business - to nail down the scope of the work. Then he or she will turn to one or more subcontractors for specific tasks, like equipment operation, design, electrical work or whatever else is needed.
In essence, general contractors could be thought of as middlemen between a homeowner or business owner and any number of specialists. To get their money's worth, many assume they should just "cut out the middleman" and hire specialists directly, but this often proves more difficult in practice. General contractors won't be completing an entire project by themselves, but should have a long list of dependable experts who can work together and accomplish any task. They might also serve as the manager on the site of a construction project, overseeing workers and providing guidance and assistance when needed. For larger projects, though, the contractor might only handle administrative matters and employ a foreman or other professional for on-site supervision.
There are many general contractors who also specialize in certain tasks themselves. There is usually at least one general contractor on hand to organize the construction of an entire home, for example. But general contractors could also help a homeowner add an additional bedroom, build an in-ground pool or complete a major landscaping project. They could also work with a business to add or improve office space, whether that means making more room or converting a commercial building from a nail salon to a restaurant. Basically, if it's a job that involves building or repairing, a general contractor probably knows how to get it done.
No matter what the exact job may be, a contractor will probably need to accomplish several other essential tasks in pursuit of the ultimate goal, which may include:
Every general contractor performing any kind of work on a project must be licensed to do so in their state. The guidelines for the specifics on licensing vary from state to state. Some states might only require registration of contractors, which is different from licensing. Registration typically means that there must be a written record of what work is being performed and by whom, but it does not guarantee professional knowledge. Licensing, on the other hand, involves an examination process to assess professional competence.
Whether your state requires licensing or registration of contractors, there should be a record of most professionals willing to complete certain projects in your area. Check your state or county website for more information. In states that require licensing, every licensed contractor's contact information is available online or from another public source.
Not every project needs to be completed by a licensed or registered contractor. If it's just a minor job that won't take more than a day or two, and will cost less than a few hundred dollars, it's likely not necessary to find a licensed or registered contractor. However, anything bigger or more expensive, or a project involving plumbing or electrical work, needs to be completed by a licensed or registered professional.
General contractors also must be covered by an insurance policy. This should include liability coverage for any property damage that could be inflicted in the course of a job. It should also include a worker's compensation policy in case anyone is injured on the job. Before hiring a contractor for anything, ask for written proof of this insurance to see exactly what is covered.
A number of trade associations for contractors in the U.S. exist. Some of the biggest include:
Most trade associations for general contractors will provide references for anyone looking to hire a contractor for a specific project. They may also provide a number of benefits for their members, including assistance with licensing, training, insurance and business development.
No matter what you need accomplished, you want to choose a contractor who can get the job done right at a reasonable price. Obviously, this is easier said than done, but there are a few steps you can take to ensure you find a trustworthy general contractor.
The first, and perhaps most reliable, way to find a general contractor is to ask friends and family members for a recommendation. If you know anyone who has had major work done on their home, particularly if it's a similar job, ask them who they hired and if they were pleased with the result. You could also ask neighbors about who they've hired if you notice work being done on their house. Many remodeling contractors post signs in front of homes to advertise their services. As a general rule, it's rarely a good idea to hire a contractor who solicits work by going door to door.
If you are considering hiring a contractor without a personal recommendation, ask the contractor for references from past clients, and do as much background research on them as possible. Look for any complaints (or compliments) online to get a better idea of their track record. There are a number of websites specializing in connecting contractors with people or businesses who need work done. These sites may also allow past clients to submit their own reviews of the contractor.
Before hiring a contractor, make sure you are both in agreement on the project's budget. It's normal for most contractors to charge clients a premium not only for the labor expenses and zoning expertise, but for acquiring the materials as well. Be as clear and concise as possible regarding what you'll be purchasing yourself and what you will be paying the contractor to complete. Homeowners may be able to find a better deal on raw materials when they purchase these directly, but they first need to be sure they aren't buying the wrong things.
Don't forget to discuss how the project will be finalized and what will be done about cleanup. Plans for how the work site will be cleaned at the end of each day as well as at the conclusion of work need to be put in writing. An experienced general contractor should make every effort to keep the workspace clean and prevent dirtying or damaging any other area. Even so, talk with the contractor about the daily schedule, the logistics of transporting workers and equipment, and how cleanup will be handled.
As previously mentioned, you need to make sure to follow any state and local regulations regarding construction work, which includes hiring a licensed or registered general contractor. Ask the contractor for proof of their certification before signing anything, as well as their proof of insurance. You should also check your homeowners insurance policy to see if they offer coverage for contracted work. You may want to call your insurance provider and ask for more details on what your plan will and won't cover.
Perhaps the best way to feel safe about a contractor and the work being done is to hire a contractor you trust. This is why relying on personal references from friends and family is so important, and will often provide a great deal of peace of mind. If you aren't able to obtain a reference, work to conduct extensive research on the contractor as well as the work you are hiring them to perform. This should bring everyone's expectations into alignment and result in a safe work environment.
Before any money changes hands, there should be a contract to sign. Make sure the specifics of the work to be done and all costs are listed in the contract, right down to the most precise details. If you forget to have something included in the contract after signing it, there's rarely a chance of recourse.
Once the specifics of the job are nailed down, be sure to discuss the payment schedule with the contractor. This is important because paying too much up front offers the homeowner minimal leverage if the quality of work does not meet expectations or contractual specifications. Try to establish a reasonable pay schedule with the contractor, such as paying 10 percent of the total cost for each 10 percent of the work that is completed. It's a good idea to include this payment plan in the contract as well.
Finally, look into getting a lien release signed before work begins. If there is ever a dispute regarding payment over the course of the project, a contractor or subcontractor could place a payment claim, or lien, on your property. This can trigger a long legal process that may be frustrating. To avoid this, ask the contractor to sign a lien release, which is a legal agreement that states that any payment accepted is final. This can come in handy if a contractor has his or her own payment issues with their subcontractors. Signing a lien release form certifies that any payment made by a client to the contractor is enough to pay for any goods or services rendered. A lien dispute could also be prevented by performing due diligence prior to picking a contractor, as any contractor with good credit and a long track record of satisfied clients should have no trouble paying for materials and labor once all contract conditions have been met.
Once work is underway, it's never a bad idea to check up on the progress of the job, either by staying in touch with the contractor over the phone or visiting the site in person. If you work with a trustworthy professional, it's probably best to keep your distance and allow everyone to stay busy. If you want to keep an eye on things, make sure workers wear the right safety gear and that everything looks to be moving along according to schedule. Finally, once work is finished and you are satisfied, be sure to thank your contractor and tell friends or family members about your experience.

- Finding Haiti, Finding History in Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God
In the wake of the January 2010 earthquake that killed thousands of Haitians, crushing them beneath the rubble of collapsed cities and towns, international news outlets began to describe Haiti as both "disaster-prone" and "star-crossed," conjuring up the image of a nation suffering from an ill-defined combination of inherent clumsiness and bad fortune.1 Perhaps the most explicit (and egregious) elaboration of this trope emerged from televangelist Pat Robertson, who only a few days after the quake offered his Seven Hundred Club listeners the "true story" behind Haiti's "disaster-prone" past:
Something happened a long time ago in Haiti and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French, uh you know Napoleon the third and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, "We will serve you if you'll get us free from the French." True story. And so the Devil said, "OK it's a deal." And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since they've been cursed by one thing after the other, desperately poor. That island of Hispaniola is one island. It's cut down the middle. On one side is Haiti on the other side is the Dominican Republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to have, and we need to pray for them, a great turning to God. And out of this tragedy I'm optimistic something good may come. But right now, we're helping the suffering people and the suffering is unimaginable.2 [End Page 755]
In this now infamous display of revisionist history, Robertson locates the origins of Haiti's "desperate poverty" in the nation's "deal with the Devil" that enabled a nation of slaves to rise up and win their twelve-year anticolonial revolution against France. His formulation handily combines two familiar racist tropes: that of the mystical Haitian "other" in league with dark supernatural forces,3 and the line of U.S. (neo)liberal reasoning that links the poverty of black communities to their "pathological" moral failings, counseling that they need to turn towards good (patriarchal heteronormativity) and God (given the U.S. government's support for private faith-based initiatives to fill the vacuum of the dismantled welfare state) in order to solve their economic problems.4 And just as this domestic line of reasoning elides the United States' history of institutional economic violence against its black communities, Robertson's story effaces the true causes of Haiti's economic distress, causes only hinted at by Haitian ambassador Raymond Joseph's response later that day. According to Joseph, "What pact the Haitians made with the Devil has helped the United States become what it is": "When the slaves rose up against the French and defeated the French army … the U.S. was able to gain the Louisiana Territory for $15 million. That's three cents an acre. That's 13 states west of the Mississippi that the Haitian slaves' revolt in Haiti provided America."5
Here Joseph adopts Robertson's sketch of Haiti's diabolical contract "that people might not want to talk about" in order to recast the relationship between the two nations: the United States owes its wealth, he argues, to the success of the Haitian Revolution, and thus by Robertson's own argument, to the Devil himself. By arguing that the United States is beholden to Haiti for its imperial prosperity, Joseph stops short of refuting Robertson's argument that Haiti brought its suffering on itself. But his frame of "indebtedness" seems to constitute a rebuttal nonetheless, the recasting of an absent and unspoken narrative in which Haiti is the debtor beholden to the United States for its freedom. And this recasting, in turn, invokes the specter of an even more unspeakable narrative, that of the United States' role in creating Haitian poverty through debt enforcement and military occupation, mechanisms of control it also used on African Americans...

Dubey, the founder secretary of NGO Prayatna, said forest
Dubey, the founder secretary of NGO Prayatna, said forest area in MP has shrunk by three per cent, as per a latest report, and cited it to be a major reason for man-animal conflict.
The area has shrunk due to mining and felling of trees in the forested area and the failure of forest department officials to check it, he alleged.
The forest officials have also failed to check illegal encroachments in the forests, he charged.
PCCF Agrawal also said that "excess mining, dams construction and heavy traffic movement in forested area causes animal attacks on humans".
He said construction in forested areas affects the habitat of animals which, to some extent, is the cause of man-animal conflict.
"The wild animals to some extent compromise with the urbanisation in and around their habitat," he said.
However, Agrawal denied that the forest area in MP has shrunk and that it was the major reason for the attack by wild animals on human beings.
"People should avoid visiting areas which are home to carnivores and in unavoidable circumstance if they enter such places, they should move in a group and make loud noise."
This will, for sure, bring down the incidents of attacks on humans, he said.
The forest ground duty staffers too venture in the jungles but they dont come under the attack of wild animals as they take precautions, he contended.
"If you enter protected jungles you are bound to face wild animals," he said.
The man-animal conflict usually takes place when people take short route and enter the wild animals corridor or habitat, the senior forest official said.
Agrawal said it was wrong to dub the carnivores which kill people as man-eaters, as they attack in self-defence.
A total sum of Rs 24.89 crore has been disbursed in last five years either as compensation to families of the deceased, to the injured and those who lost their cattle in the attacks by wild animals, and as relief for the crop damage, forest officials said. PTI LAL MAS GK RCJ JMF


text: Insurance investigator, Ryan Monahan is on the job again. This time he is looking for a reason not to pay on the 5 million dollar double indemnity life insurance policy Ana Bacon took out on herself. Ana was married to Tom Bacon, who was working as a stock trader when he made a horrible mistake that cost him his job. Her administrative assistant position was not pulling in enough money for them to maintain their lifestyle. And yet somehow, they are on a cruise to the Bahamas and Ana falls overboard, not to be found. Luckily for Tom, witnesses place him nowhere near Ana at the time. Monahan finds inconsistencies and lies, and the trail takes the reader through a web of desperation, deception and secrets. Just how far would you go if you thought you could get away with it?

Another week down, and only three weeks left to the 'Idols SA' finale, the top 4 remaining contestants sang two songs each, one of those being from their birth year.
And with over 12 million votes casted, Faith didn't bag enough to keep her in the run for the ultimate prize.
Last week's favourite Botlhale chose a 1996 hit from Joan Osborne with 'One of Us'.
Randall commends him for being smart with his tricks. "I think pulling out the guitar tonight is a very, very good idea because I think that we may have forgotten that some of the singer's here are musicians, broader than just singing. What I didn't like was the phrasing in the chorus was a bit off . You just got to be careful to get everything absolutely right," said Randall.
Fans get an eyeful as Emtee's manhood goes viral
Unathi on the other hand said, "After last week's performance and that very, very enormous spiritual offering, I think it was a great song choice for you to completely branch out and choose a different genre. As Randall says it is commendable and very smart to pull out the guitar out now.
"So keep pulling out the tricks and making sure that South Africa remembers you week by week. You are one contestant who I think South Africa didn't necessarily take too seriously but look at you top 4, the final is two weeks away from today, everything you do or say now must remind South Africa why you need to be in the final. Well done".
His second song, Charlie Puth's 'One Call Away', Unathi said he has a lot of versatility.
Botlhale has a PhD in choosing the best songs,for him.👏🔥👏 #IdolsSA pic.twitter.com/zMgDZ4RMAE
— Omogolo (@Omo_Mere) October 29, 2017
"At this stage of this competition where there are only three people that you have to compete with to get the crown, that is very very smart. What you are doing is that you are appealing to all pockets of South Africans at a different point. As Randal says, when the show ends you gotta make sure that South Africa remembers to vote for you and you are doing that week by week. So keep doing that, keep surprising us, keep enchanting us and all the best for next week."
Somizi agreed to Unathi, while Randall believes that people really like Botlhale and at this stage of the competition, that is all that matters.
Here's a reminder of how everyone performed tonight. VOTE NOW https://t.co/XnX222rEyi #IdolsSA pic.twitter.com/eN8X7XWk0n

After narrowly surviving last week's elimination, Phindy was the second to be called on stage, to sing a 1997 popular song 'Sondela' from Rhingo, making this her second vernacular song on the show.
Unathi said, "Phindy, you have such a beautiful voice and I am so happy you chose an African song again. It was a beautiful rendition, it was 2017, it was absolutely beautiful."
Somizi couldn't fault her least he comes across jealous of her beautiful voice. "I am trying to find find fault but there is none. Dololo. It was beautiful, flawless,you look amazing, you respected the song. There is something beautiful with staying on true to your roots. You are a Zulu speaking lady, when sing an African song, it is felt deep within. "
Her second song choice, Sorry from Beyonce had Somizi stand up in applause. "For me, in my eyes, you are multi-talented. And the music business right now lacks a young teenager who is gonna Lebo Mathosa it. Should anything not work out the way you want it here, please my child I beg you go for it. Kill the game. There is a gap for you in the music business."
Yaaaas Phindy #IdolsSA pic.twitter.com/ePe7tN3wst
— Sinethemba (@jstSne) October 29, 2017
Randall didn't really buy her second take saying it was more of Phindy doing Beyonce as opposed to Phindy doing Phindy as a singer, and Unathi agreed.
Young Paxton born in the year 2000 sang 'Turn to You' by Christina Aguilera.
An impressed Somizi said, "Paxton, I can't breath (holding his nose and mouth closed) You didn't forgive me, you didn't give me a chance.
Randall thought she did an admirable job with the song. "Simply from my point of view, I like hearing you sing more contemporary songs. No comment about your singing, that was fine. I just love your contemporary songs."

Paxton took on the popular Alicia Keys song In Common, performing it on the judge's table to Somizi, before breaking out in dance and getting the auditorium on its feet.
With his earlier comment of preferring her to sing contemporary songs, Randall swallowed the bitter pill and said "no more comments."

— Idols South Africa (@IdolsSA) October 29, 2017
And all Somizi could say was "You deserve a Wooooooo Sheeem"
Last but certainly not the least, as the announcements are not in any particular order, Mthokozisi who fumbled on his lyrics last week made it through singing a hit song from Boyz II Men 'So Hard to say Goodbye' from 1991.
"I don't think in terms of all the songs that you've performed now in the first round, I don't think there could have been a better song for you. I think the arrangement helped to make everyone remember just how good you are, just in case they forgot."
Unathi said, "You have forgiven yourself, came back, sang, blessed us and did God's work Mthokozisi. It was perfect in every single way. "
For his second performance, Mthokozisi sang 'What Do You Mean' from Justin Bieber.
"Mthokozisi you are having fun. And when you are having fun, we have fun and that is the beautiful thing about it, said Unathi. She continues to say that he has diversified and that has opened up a new voting market for him. "Your song choices today have possibly taken you into a new fan base. You have literally taken care of all your markets and even more so, people underestimate Justin Bieber as a vocalist because he is so commercial. What you have done is justify his vocability by being so great."
Great performance by Mthokozisi! #idolsMthokozisi #idolsSA pic.twitter.com/rSqmsNdTXG

I've been stitching like a madwoman lately -- I figure sleep is a fair trade for stitching time. :)
Made some great progress on my Tribal Butterfly by Sparklies. I'd like to have it finished and framed before October, which should not be a problem at all. I am really enjoying stitching this!
The fabric is a much more obvious pinky purple in real life, but the camera doesn't ever seem to do it justice.

6th CD -- Thinking about transportationPosted by Craig Westover | 7:03 AM |
The Strib posts a summary of the 6th District congressional candidates positions on transportation, noting that the 6th stretches across the northern metro from Stillwater to St. Cloud and involves many areas where commuters face road congestion. A 6th District resident, I can vouch for that. So here's what I think of these positions:
• Wetterling reiterated her call for the state to finish the Northstar commuter rail line by extending it west to St. Cloud and ramp up other mass transit. The Northstar line, she said, "is an investment that we have to make."They are all right, and they are all wrong. They each champion one solution at the expense of an overall plan. Let's start with Binkowski, because he offers the best insight and the worst solution.
• Bachmann said: "We need to lay more asphalt across the Sixth District. We need to build more roads, we need to build more bridges." She cited the long-planned replacement for the Stillwater lift bridge.
• Binkowski supported raising gasoline taxes for more roads but warned it might not solve congestion. "We can lay all the asphalt we want, there's still going to be traffic," Binkowski said. If you've ever been to Los Angeles, he said, it doesn't matter if its six or eight or 10 lanes of traffic, "it's a parking lot."
Binkowski's comparison to Los Angeles is apt. The relatively small downtown areas of Minneapolis and St. Paul and the sprawling suburban and exurban area surrounding it make the Twin Cities much more like LA than New York or Chicago, which in turn makes it a car-driven culture not easily adaptable to mass transit options. Binkowski's also right that building more roads won't necessarily reduce congestion. At best it will help us keep up with growth and manage congestion. However, raising the gas tax is simply throwing more money at the problem. A better solution is to spend the current taxes and fees generated by gas taxes and license fees on transportation as intended, but do so with some coherent plan in mind.
Jumping to Bachmann, she's partially right. Given the geographic structure of the Twin Cities, roads are always going to be an important part of the infrastructure. People don't just travel from the 'burbs to downtown. They travel between suburbs. Such geography and travel patterns aren't conducive to mass transit, which is a point-to-point solution, not a network. Having said that, overemphasis on roads is simply going to magnify the trend to a car-culture. Congestion is like gas prices, the worse it gets the more viable other forms of transpiration become. What we need to look at is where the fall-off point is and what are the characteristics of people at that point where there are VIABLE alternative transportation options. Roads alone are not an answer.
That brings us to Wetterling, who offers the worst of all possible approaches. Wetterling wants to provide a generic solution, mass transit, without recognizing what the problem is. She has no idea whom mass transit is suppose to serve or what form is appropriate. To be honest, nobody does, but we can make some guesses.
Where mass transit is needed most is within Minneapolis and St. Paul proper. People that have no transportation alternative need it for short-hops to many locations. That's not a light rail point-to-point solution. That's a network solution, cars and buses and – gosh, might there be a private sector solution? Say a jitney service of low-cost, shared, on-demand car service? Maybe, but not under current city rules that limit cab licenses and regulate who can provide such service where.
The point is the single parent that has to get the kids to daycare and school and then get to work isn't going to do it on the Hiawatha line. Who does use the Hiawatha line, which is heavily subsidized by tax dollars? Mom and pop in the 'burbs. One drives the other to the train station in the SUV, then drops the kids at school and drives to a job in the suburbs. Wetterling's approach of starting with a solution instead of looking at the problem magnifies that kind of mismatch.
The insidiousness of both the Bachmann and Wetterling approach is that they encourage Congress to dump funds into the district for one-off projects that fit no overall plan. I don't have an answer for pork-barrel distribution of federal dollars, but here's some suggestions for a transportation plan.
First, use the funds raised by transportation fees and taxes for transportation (I don't support doing it by amendment, but do support doing it). Roads are the first priority, but not the only path.
Second, develop mass transit by looking at the needs of riders not the needs of people running the system or how neat the solution is. Shinny trains are cool, but they are endlessly in need of subsidy and at best make transportation more convenient for people that have other alternatives. If trains are part of the picture, plan routes that solve problems, not simply to fit a preconceived idea of a future point-to-point network that by the time it is complete may not reflect the transportation patterns that exist when it is planned. Mass transit solves problems – it is not an end in itself (but just listen to how people talk about the Central Corridor, as a project, not as a solution to real problems).
Third, look at what barriers stand in the way of private sector transportation options and get rid of them. If there is a significant demand for travel from Woodbury to Bloomington, for example, why shouldn't a private bus company be encouraged to create service – or a private jitney service? I'm not talking about subsidies; simply remove the barriers that make it economically impractical or legally impossible to encourage such service.
As noted above, the congressional issue really comes down to voting for dollars, the more the better as long as the 6th gets more at the expense of the everyone else, or what's a congressperson good for? Planning local transportation solutions to real problems is a state and local issue. It's the statewide office seekers that ought to be addressing the problem – with a plan.

-I just realized I would have been (if I had an evil doctor, and this little girl never came on her own) 45 weeks pregnant today. That's a little weird to think about! Just out of curiousity, I looked it up, and there was a woman pregnant for 53 weeks. Bless her soul.
-We are right in the middle of Moms on Call boot camp around here. To be fair, I'm doing most of their recommendations, but not exactly by the book…I know, I know, please don't lecture. I'm not giving her a bath every night, and I've cheated and held her for naps some. I'm also not letting her cry quite as much as they recommend. I just got through reading Baby Wise too, and I really like their take on reading the baby's cries and responding to what they need, instead of crying it out every time….so I'm leaning more that way. But, for the most part, we're on Moms on Call routine, and it's working! She is almost perfectly on the MOC schedule…eating every three hours during the day, and sleeping 9:30-6 with one feeding during the night. Not too bad for a 3 week old!
-On that note, we're still working on swaddling. She HATES it. Like, fights out of the swaddle for the first 20 minutes of her naptime instead of sleeping. But, when I take her out of it, she wakes herself just as soon as she goes to sleep. I've got it about as tight as it will go, I think any tighter and it would hurt her or hurt her breathing. I'm thinking about trying a Miracle Blanket, I've heard good things about those…we'll see!
-And speaking of baths, we tried our first full-on bath a couple of nights ago! She wasn't a fan, but I think it was just the newness of it that she didn't like.
-We had another grandparents visit yesterday. 🙂
-She's taking a pumped bottle every night now for her last feeding, and doing great! I was a little worried it would confuse her, but she's done a good job so far. And it gives Dad some good bonding time with her (and Mom a chance to nap if I want to! :))
(This was her first bottle.)

Hi! I'm Karine. I'm 29 years old and I live in Grenoble area, a city in the french Alpes. In life, I'm an engineer. But my real passions are about interior designing, decoration, architecture, design, and art.
These passions started when I bought for the first time an apartment with my husband. It was a three bedrooms apartment, at the top of a brand new building dowtown. The style of the decoration was exclusively contemporary, in order to fit with the building atmosphere. But after few years, we decided to move out of the city and we started to look for a house in 2015. We wanted to go back to nature, with a garden to take care, and to change of style by moving in an old house. Finally we found the good one beginning of 2016: a traditional house from the 70's. Even if it is a solid and healthy building, an important refreshing of the interior, but also of the garden are required. So we've just started this wonderful adventure! And I'll keep you in touch of the progress here ;).
In parallel, I decided to start this new blog in order to share my last findings and discoveries, my "deco crushes", all that can inspire me, and I hope you as well!
So thank you for stopping by and hanging out with me!

Glenn Harrold, Studio Portraits
I was introduced to Glenn Harrold by a mutual friend who is the designer of his website. Glenn had seen other portraits that I had taken and was keen for me to give him a fresh set of images to be used on his website and other publications. Glenn is a really nice and positive guy and it was great to get to know him in the studio chatting about football, tennis and little about his musical past. Professionally Glenn is the UK's best selling self help audio author and runs his own publishing company. Here are a few shots taken in the studio...
Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Sam in the studio. You may remember this photo (left) of him that was part of my 'March Project', taken at Sam's home.
Four months on & his 1st birthday has passed, Sam has grown not just in size but in character too!
He really was a joy to capture, there were smiles, laughter, dancing and of course Mini Chedders!
I hope you enjoy the results, & I own a big thanks to Gary & Bev for asking me to photograph Sam!

Officials warn of scam artists targeting North Bay wildfire victims
News: 2017 Press Release
NAPA & SONOMA, Calif. — Investigators from the Department of Insurance (CDI), Contractors State License Board (CSLB) and the Napa County District Attorney's Office are hitting the streets again Friday, November 17 in the Napa and Santa Rosa burn areas to educate homeowners on how to avoid being scammed, as they work to recover and rebuild from one of the state's worst natural disasters."It never ceases to amaze me the extent to which con artists will go to score a quick buck by scamming disaster victims," said Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones."Outreach efforts with our partners at CSLB and the DA's office is a best first step in protecting consumers from rip-off schemes."
Officials have received reports of individuals posing as FEMA officials and approaching victims to obtain personal information. Fraudulent applications for assistance using wildfire victims' personal information have also been reported.
"There's no secret shortcut to get through what will be a long rebuilding process," said CSLB Registrar David Fogt. "It's critical that survivors take their time and do their homework before hiring anyone to work in or around their home or property, including debris removal, repairs, or rebuilding."
CSLB officials urge consumers to hire only licensed contractors and verify their license though the agency's website, which takes only moments on a smart device. The agency also provides a variety of resources for consumers to help them through the rebuilding process after a disaster.
Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley says,"It is our belief that by proactively educating homeowners on how to avoid being scammed, we arm our residents against criminals and dramatically reduce their vulnerability."

IIF Tao Hong Award
Dr. Tao Hong is a friend, former SAS colleague, former SAS basketball league opponent, a major contributor to SAS Energy Forecasting software, and now Associate Professor at UNC Charlotte. When he isn't raining three-pointers on me on the basketball court, Tao is Director of the Big Data Energy Analytics Laboratory (BigDEAL) and on the Board of the International Institute of Forecasters. And he has now graciously funded a new award for the best International Journal of Forecasting paper on energy forecasting.
And The Winner Is...
At last month's International Symposium on Forecasting in Cairns, Australia, I was there to witness the first IIF Tao Hong Award, to Professor Rafal Weron of Wroclaw University for his paper:
"Electricity price forecasting: A review of the state-of-the-art with a look into the future", IJF 30(4), 1030-1081
Per Rob Hyndman's award presentation speech:
Weron's article is encyclopaedic. It covers the entirety of electricity price forecasting and systematizes a wide field of very disparate models, from statistical models across machine learning to agent models. However, the paper is not only a review; it also presents much needed guidelines for the rigorous use of methods, measures and tests, and it looks ahead and speculates on the directions electricity price forecasting will take in the next decade or so. The paper also has applications beyond electricity price forecasting, and is of particular interest to people in electric load forecasting and call centre forecasting.
To read more about Professor Weron and the award, visit Rob Hyndman's blog, Hyndsight.

HP LaserJet M1120n Driver Download
HP LaserJet M1120n Driver Download– Across the board machines have outstripped offers of single-function printers in the ink-stream advertise, yet have been slower to show up with laser engines. HP has begun to review this adjust and the LaserJet M1120 MFP, a passage level, mono laser across the board, is designed for home and little office utilize.For anyone used to working with inkjet-based holding nothing back ones, the LaserJet M1120 MFP is surprisingly tall. The laser engine in the lower half of the machine takes up quite a bit more space than an ink-fly engine, yet the machine observes of solidity, with its slate dim sections down either side.A 250-sheet paper plate has a 10-sheet multipurpose plate – HP calls it a priority plate – set above it. This is valuable, as you quite regularly need to stack more than one sheet of special media at a time. Paper encourages out to a "gallery" projecting from most of the way up the device, giving the entire machine a fairly piecemeal appearance.Quite a path over the yield plate is the flatbed scanner section and this hinges upwards to around 30 degrees, to provide access to the toner and drum cartridge. It's upheld by sprung hinges, so stays where it's put, when open.Over the unit is a two-line LCD display – with no backlight – and an arrangement of eight catches which, however a little frump, are sufficient to control all the device's functions. The main connection at the back is a USB 2 attachment and there's no internal option for a system interface. Be that as it may, a system version of the machine, the LaserJet M1120n MFP, is available for around £20 more.When you lift the scanner section of the M1120 MFP up, it's anything but difficult to opening in the drum and toner cartridge, however it slides away right into profundities of the machine. The cartridge in the container is likewise useful for 1,000 pages, a large portion of the standard capacity.This is an awful pattern with numerous printer producers. By putting in special, low-capacity, "starter" consumables, the companies guarantee you begin buying toner or ink sooner in the wake of buying the printer itself. Since consumables are the place they make a considerable measure of their money, you can see the marketing logic, yet it's both an inconvenience and an additional expense for the client. There's no plausible benefit for you or me.

Psalm 33:2-3. 4-7. 16. 18–19. 23
Praise and fear of God
2I will bless the Lord at all times,
his praise always on my lips;
3in the Lord my soul shall make its boast.
The humble shall hear and be glad.
4Glorify the Lord with me.
Together let us praise his name.
5I sought the Lord and he answered me;
from all my terrors he set me free.
6Look towards him and be radiant;
let your faces not be abashed.
7This poor man called; the Lord heard him.
and rescued him from all his distress.
16The Lord turns his face against the wicked
to destroy their remembrance from the earth.
18They call and the Lord hears
and rescues them in all their distress.
19The Lord is close to the broken-hearted;
those whose spirit is crushed he will save.
23The Lord ransoms the souls of his servants.
Those who hide in him shall not be condemned.

Alex Simmons is returning to FC Halifax Town with his sights set on a Boston United win.
The striker, on loan from Lincoln City, had a spell at the Shay earlier in the campaign.
During that period he scored twice as Town left the Jakemans Stadium with a convincing 4-1 victory over the Pilgrims.
But on Saturday he returns to his former stamping ground looking to help his current club get revenge on his old side (KO 3pm).
"I just take it as another game," said Simmons, stating there's no time for sentiment in this National League North season.
"We'll go there wanting to win, play well and get the right side of the result.
"Whenever I play I just want to do well for me and my team, that's always got to be the case."
Despite United picking up just one win from their past five matches, Simmons remains confident the Pilgrims can get a positive resultagainst his ex-teammates.
"Of course we can," he added.
"It always helps to know the players you're playing against. I don't think it's ever a disadvantage to know you're opposition.
"I know the lads there and they're a good team, but we've got a great team here.
"I know that if we play to our standards, which we can do, we can get a result.
"We just need to get that consisntency and do it over 90 minutes. Then we can get results."

September 26th: Mesothelioma DayTuesday, September 21st, 2010
Mesothelioma is an extremely rare cancer that afflicts somewhere between 7 and 40 people per 1,000,000 population in the United States. It is most commonly linked to asbestos exposure. Despite its lethality (the average life expectancy of someone given a mesothelioma diagnosis is often measured in months, and there is no cure for it), since it's ultimately an exceedingly uncommon disease, not many people are aware of its particulars. And that's if they know of the disease at all.
That's why the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation has designated this upcoming September 26th as Mesothelioma Awareness Day. According to an article posted on Mesothelioma.com, the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation has planned for a video and banner display situated at 10 Rockafeller Plaza. The display is geared towards informing those who see it with important facts related to the disease, and to its primary cause—asbestos exposure. (According to the article, asbestos exposure is the cause of 77% of all mesothelioma cases.)
Unfortunately and all too often, those who possess an awareness of mesothelioma are tragically afflicted by it, or know someone who is. If you or someone you care about is currently struggling with this ravaging, rapidly advancing disease, you might want to consider contacting a law firm that is experienced in handling mesothelioma settlements. Such a mesothelioma law firm might be able to secure financial compensation, depending on the particulars of the case in question, which might be able to go some ways toward helping defray the costs of treating this disease.
While mesothelioma, unfortunately, has no cure, there are treatments out there that may help extend the life expectancy of its victims, or the quality of life of people suffering from it. Awareness about it—about its causes, manifestations, symptoms, and what to do about it all—might go some distance toward helping the safety of those at risk to contract it.

Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will appear in The Avengers 2...unless the script changes
Last week at the IRON MAN 3 premiere Joss Whedon teased that a brother-sister duo would be joining THE AVENGERS 2 and it was assumed that the director was talking about the twins Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. The newest issue of Entertainment Weekly is all about IRON MAN 3 and the rest of Marvel's Phase 2 films, and a source for EW has confirmed that the twins will appear in the sequel. But we all know that sources aren't always right so EW asked Marvel Studio's Kevin Feige if the rumors were true. His response?
I'm not confirming or denying. The draft could change six months from now.
Which means....yeah they're in it. At least for now.
The addition of Wanda and Pietro Maximoff is big for a couple of reasons. As fellow editor Paul Shirey pointed out when it was first rumored, since they are mutants how will their powers going to be explained? The film rights to these characters are shared with FOX so will this open the door for other characters to be able to show up in Marvel's film universe, even if they don't own the rights to them 100%?
Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are primarily known for working with/against the X-Men but in the comics (and this is interesting because it could be what is used in THE AVENGERS 2 or 3...oh and be warned it's kind of a spoiler) the siblings at one point joined the Avengers after the founding members took a leave of absence and a new team was formed consisting of the duo, Captain America and Hawkeye. Could Whedon possibly be adding pieces just in case certain key actors don't want to return or only want to be a part of the film in a limited capacity? Does he plan on killing off a couple of heroes so that a new team has to be formed? SO. MANY. QUESTIONS.
Marvel's Phase 2 kicks off when IRON MAN 3 hits theaters TOMORROW, then it's on to THOR: THE DARK WORLD on November 8th, 2013, CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER on April 4th, 2014, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY on August 1st, 2014 and THE AVENGERS 2 on May 1st, 2015.
