Mild Spoilers!!
The most anticipated and hyped film of the year has arrived. Follow up of the first film in the mythological/fantasy drama genre opened in a record number of screens worldwide. In short, writer & director SS Rajamouli had sky high expectations to satisfy.
Cinematographer K K Senthilkumar's work in the film is nothing short of extraordinary. The scale of the story, surreal settings, the lightings especially in the first 30-40 minutes of the second half, full scope of performances and high octane action sequences are brought to life on the celluloid with meticulous planning and great skill. Special mention to the camera angles of the climax stunt sequence.
Art Director Sabu Cyril and his sketches functions as the key to unlock the mind of Rajamouli. Kingdom of Mahishmati sitting amongst clouds in all its majesty sucks you into the world of Baahubali. For films of such mythical quality, a sense of place is one of the major pillars on which the entire structure rests and the production designer has outdone himself in the second outing.
Music by MM Keeravani/Maragathamani adds to the film and the narrative. Couple of songs provide the 'have heard it somewhere' feeling but the understanding of the vision of the director is quite evident. Background score has some highlights including a fully fledged orchestoral/Symphonic arrangements towards the end of the film. But more layers to the score could have added more depth to the scene and would have conveyed the differing shades of the characters in the royal family better. Music from Lord of Rings is used in the BGM just before the Oorae Ooril song.
Sound mixing and editing multiplies the impact of the imagery on the audience and the war sequences, other pivotal drama sequences like the interval block are elevated immensely. The balance between music, dialogues and effects was also achieved.
Stunt/action choreography by Peter Hein especially the war sequence in the first half is heavily inspired by the Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers (2002). The battle of Helm's deep and the strategic placement of the kingdom of Anushka akin to a valley is recognisable. Traces of Battle of Plennor Fields can also be seen in the action choreography. The baled propelled chariot which Rana uses ( also seen in part 1) defying laws of physics could have been avoided. But the vision of the Writer & Director executed by Peter Hein especially the climax stunt sequence is a sight to behold. Barring the tree slings, the penultimate action piece is a spectacle never before seen on Indian screens.
Part of the criticism for the climax stunt sequence arises on account of not fully understanding the mythological/fantasy setting of the story and characters. Baahubali was climbing and jumping mountains with ease and Bhallala deva killed and stopped an ox with bare hands in the first part. The kind of stories we hear about kings and their myths can still be seen in museums. Their armour, weapons they wield are near impossible for a normal human to wear and swing. People forgot the much raved interval scene in first part where Baahubali stops the mammoth statue from falling single handedly. A new benchmark for larger than life stunts is set for Indian Cinema.
The VFX, CG play a pivotal character in the films like these and they very well hold the key that decides the success of the film. The effects here are far more huge and detailed than the previous part. Except for a few tacky shots, visual effects is by far the best as far as Indian films go. The statue portions in the climax may seem like a sore thumb but the VFX team has excelled to provide the 'epic' sense for the movie.
The performances are what gives life to the world of Baahubali. Prabas as the titular character does justice to his part. The elder Baahubali/Amarendra Baahubali was splendid and majestic whereas Prabhas was not very endearing as Mahendra Baahubali. When proceedings cut to present day, the rage that drives him is not portrayed convincingly. His arch nemesis played by Raana Dagubati is impactful. His lust for throne, power and his vengenceful hate for Baahubali is dramatically played by Raana. Special mention to the climax portions.
What makes Baahubali work is not just because of the leads but the fantastic supporting characters lead by Sathyaraj. Katappa will rank among one of the best roles of his career alongside Amavaasai. The wide array and spectrum of skills in his repertoire is summoned by the auteur in this feature film. Loyal servant, loving uncle, rib tickling friend & a tortured soul. The veteran actor aces everything to near perfection. Ramya Krishnan as Sivagami also holds the screen with the presence of her eyes. She adds amazing depth to the drama that happens in the Mahismati Kingdom and the way she carried herself as the King's Mother is eye popping. The continuity she brings to the performance is praiseworthy. These two performances and characters are the key ingredients to the success of this story.
Nasser pretty much does justice to every character he plays. But the twin shades to his character made for commercial reasons mellowed down what could have been one more intriguing character to the story. Nasser's delivery shows his prowess over the language and stage. Anushka has a meaty role to play in the second part as Devasena who is courageous, principled and persevering. Anushka outdoes Tammanah's role from the first part and carries the role with ease showcasing her talents as an actress.
The dialogues by Madhan Karky are a huge asset to the film and is even more detailed than part one which managed to hook the audience to the narrative. The Story by Vijayendra Prasad rooted in Indian Mythology and epics like Mahabaratha is what gives the movie the pan Indian appeal. The characters are so well defined and their arcs are what propels the story forward.
The screenplay and direction by SS Rajamouli deserves a standing ovation. The treatment of the story showcases the story narrator that he is both visually and screenplay wise. The film is sprinkled with moments for masses and perfectly packaged to provide entertainment for all sections of audience. The linchpin quality of a great filmmaker is not to exceed the boundaries of the characters when set. Best example for the same is why Kattapa killed Baahubali. For the hype, it was never glossed nor was any gimmicks used. The explanation even though may sound underwhelming remained true to the narration and characters which is also one of the highlights of the film where the characters are treated without exceeding their cornerstone qualities.
There are certain flaws which are visible in the film. When it comes to the sequel, the first part had ended on a high note as a cliff-hanger but the second part didn't start off more intensely as one would expect. But it was packaged as an independent film filled with comedy and romance with the story moving as an undercurrent culminating to the interval point. The film borrows heavily from the Lord of the Rings from the designing of the battles, the colours and visuals even though the story was rooted in Indian Mythology.
Some highly visible lip sync problems are distractive since some scenes are shot only in one language. Bit more intensity & footage could have been spent on how Sivagami's character reacted in certain situations and a bit more time could have been spent on the events within the royal family which would have provided more drama to the proceedings. The placement of romance portions in second part would have suited better in the first part as the Tamannah portions there was downright bad. In response to criticism for the objectification of Tamannah in the first part, feminist themes in the sequel appeared to be overdone. Considering the creative imaginative world that the movie was set in, most of songs were placed in a traditional way.
All of these flaws can be overlooked because of the huge achievement this film turns out to be. From the impressive title cards, the tone and genre of the film is set in Rajamouli's vision and he inspires many film makers to dream of such magnitude. From the point of film market/economics, Baahubali 2 is a game changer and the movie is all set to become the first Indian movie to gross 1000 crores worldwide expanding and providing more scope for big directorial ventures which will rival international films. Undeniably SS Rajamouli and team will go down in history as the people who laid foundation for such films.
Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is Jaw dropping in scope and ambition which raises the bar very high for Indian Cinema. This motion picture is grand entertainment 'commercial' Cinema. Baahubali 2 intrigues and engages the audience on a whole new level unseen in Indian cinema halls. The grand vision of SS Rajamouli is astounding, boundary pushing and enthralling worthy of accolades. Baahubali 2 is a milestone for Indian Cinema in many ways.
Must be experienced in the cinema theatres!!

IBCB's leaders are proposing that we change Jürgen's job description* and hire him as "Connections Pastor." Why are we making this recommendation? How did we get to this point?
*Currently Jürgen is hired (450€ job) as pastoral support for our 15:00 h service)
a) Last year's strategic analysis – conducted by the Leaders Council and aided by a congregational survey – yielded four strategic areas of priority and four key-areas of need.
- Improve Worship Services
- Events Planning (Connecting with the Community and Congregation to One Another)
- Assimilation (Connecting Newcomers and Congregation to Our Church)
- Improve Small Group Ministry
b) Assigning the task of "Connections" to Jürgen addresses two of these strategic areas:
- Reaching new members – connecting with community and bringing into our "crowd" (i.e. marketing, evangelism, events, etc.)
- Onboarding new members – assimilating "crowd" into "congregation" (i.e. welcome process, commitment to Christ, membership in church, belonging to small group, etc.)
c) A second staff pastor is necessary to take us to the next level as a church:
- Church health experts (Charles Arn) suggests that a "Growing Church" will have at least 1 full-time pastor and 2 part-time support staff for every 150 church participants.
- We have reached the thresh-hold of "150" and need to re-tool our support staff* by expanding and restructuring Jürgen's job description to meet our needs.
*The Staff Relations Committee has taken up the recommendation from the floor in our last business meeting to consider the issue of hiring a "worship leader."

Been on a geology field trip and forgotten where you have been or where you took your photos? Looking for a tracking solution you can just forget about so you can concentrate on the outcrops? Then look no further than the Holux M-1200E Bluetooth GPS Data Logger. This nifty instrument can log up to 200 000 data points and only weighs 32g! It comes with free software called ezTour, which is a PC application that can display the tracks recorded and synchronise photos from a digital camera with your track (i.e. tag your photos with GPS coordinates)

GPS Features
Posted by Noelhsydney on 14th Nov 2013
I have been using this device for nearly two years. I purchased it so that I could geotag my photos, and it does the job well. Also because it is a receiver you can use it in an aeroplane too. There is no transmitter. Used on flights to Europe and in Australia. You will need power input for long haul flights. In open area like all gps units, this works very well. However according to the unit I was in the middle of Sydney harbour photographing one night.
The only problem is the software. I have had to download more than once the drivers to make the sync between the device and pc work. The reason is that when my mobile phone is sync by USB cable to the pc, the gps drivers get updated too. Now I use an older pc just to manage my GPS and geotagging, and main desktop for the rest of work.
I love the size and weight of this device. For me it does the job I want it to do. Not every camera has gps built in, and for that reason I purchased this item.
It is for me the software which is the let down, otherwise for the cost, it is great.

Use Back Button to return to Index of Cases
Respondent/Insurer for
Summary: Counsel for claimant, who is respondent in this case, failed to respond to interrogatories or to seek additional time based on claimant's alleged illness. Petitioner moved to compel and sought sanctions.
Held: Sanctions in the amount of $300 are ordered against claimant's counsel personally, with direction that the cost not be passed on to claimant.
On September 30, 1997, the petitioner moved to compel answers to interrogatories and requests for production propounded upon the claimant, who is a respondent in this matter. The motion also sought sanctions.
The Court ordered claimant to reply to the motion by October 3, 1997, and on that date it received Claimant's Brief in Opposition to Petitioner's Motion to Compel Discovery Responses and for Sanctions. At a pretrial conference held on October 6, 1997, this Court's hearing examiner directed claimant to answer the interrogatories by October 20, 1997. On October 9, 1997, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause as to why sanctions should not be imposed upon claimant and scheduled a hearing on the matter at 10:00 a.m., October 14, 1997, in Missoula.
A hearing was held as scheduled. Mr. Jeffrey B. Hays appeared for petitioner, Mr. Kevin Braun for respondent Uninsured Employers' Fund, and Mr. Paul Tranel for claimant. Mr. Tranel appeared in place of Mr. Milton Datsopoulos, who is claimant's attorney of record in this case, because Mr. Datsopoulos had a conflicting commitment. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Court imposed sanctions against claimant's attorney in the amount of $300 and ordered that claimant's attorney pay that amount and not pass the amount on to claimant. It reaffirmed its hearing examiner's oral Order that claimant answer discovery by October 20, 1997.
On August 29, 1997, the petitioner served interrogatories and requests for production upon claimant. Under Rules 24.5.303, 24.5.323, and 24.5.324, claimant's responses to the discovery requests were due September 22, 1997. On September 23, 1997, counsel for petitioner wrote to counsel for claimant advising that he had not received the responses and requesting the responses be served no later than September 26, 1997. The letter noted that the case was set for trial during the week of October 13, 1997, and that time was of the essence. The letter also warned that if responses were not received by September 26, 1997, petitioner would move to compel the responses and would seek sanctions.
No response or other communication was forthcoming from claimant's counsel and on October 1, 1997, the petitioner filed his motion to compel and request for sanctions. In his October 3, 1997 response to the motion, claimant's attorney indicated that claimant was too ill to provide responses.
At the pretrial conference held on October 6th, claimant requested a continuance of the trial. Opposing counsel did not object, subject to agreement by UEF not to pursue enforcement of a lien against petitioner from district court. The request was granted. Had this Court denied the motion, this case would have gone to trial on October 14, 1997.
Rule 24.5.326 governs sanctions for failure to respond to discovery, providing:
(1) If a party fails to respond to discovery pursuant to these rules, or makes evasive or incomplete responses to discovery, or objects to discovery, the party seeking discovery may move for an order compelling responses. With respect to a motion to compel discovery, the court may impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, awarding the prevailing party attorney fees and reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining the order or in opposing the motion. If the party shall fail to make discovery following issuance of an order compelling responses, the court may order such sanctions as it deems required and just under the circumstances.
Claimant's illness provides good cause for an extension of time in which to respond to the discovery. However, it does not excuse claimant's counsel from his failure to seek an extension of time or contact petitioner's counsel. Time is of the essence in workers' compensation cases since trials are typically held 75 days after the filing of the petition. A simple telephone call could have averted the motion and the additional work done by petitioner's counsel and this Court. Counsel may ignore the deadlines imposed by the Scheduling Order and the rules for extending those deadlines, but they do so at their peril.
At the hearing on the motion, petitioner's counsel stated that he spent four hours on the motion and in attending the hearing. He also incurred $22 in travel expense. His hourly rate is $100 an hour. Thus, he requested attorney fees and costs of $422. Since the motion was a simple one, I have limited the sanctions to $300.
The culpability for failing to file responses or seeking an extension of time lies with claimant's attorney, not with claimant. Therefore, the sanctions must be paid by Mr. Datsopoulos personally and may not be charged to the claimant.
Finding good cause,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT within two weeks of this Order counsel for claimant shall pay to petitioner's counsel the sum of $300.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT claimant shall have until October 20, 1997, in which to answer the petitioner's interrogatories and requests for production. If she is too ill to respond by that date, then her counsel may apply to the Court for a further extension but such application must be made prior to October 20, 1997, and be supported by an affidavit and medical reports.
DATED in Helena, Montana, this 17th day of October, 1997.

Tan M&M's
Arnold Schwarzeneggar, the Terminator
Now if you're anything like me (i.e. human) you looked at the above list and thought "huh?" And while an editorial piece that starts with "the top ten things" is just that, a perspective or opinion...COME ON. Really? Tan M&M's? YOU CAN'T TASTE THE COLORS. And why did Arnold Shwartzy make the list with his Terminator movie? This is a list for kids! Oh, and that's right, I went there. That doesn't stop the brown M&M's from being the least best, but that also is a matter of perspective.
I bring you with no further ado, the Authoritative List. The list that should've been but wasn't. The top ten list of (loud booming voice) NO CONTENTION!
The Top Ten Things Kids These Days Missed Out On Unless You're Willing to Bring It Back
Calvin and Hobbes. Rebellious, sarcastic, insightful, brilliant, and very much 6, this cartoon strip is the epitome of greatness in picture publishing hilarity and just all around a riotous good time.
Winding the cassette tape back in with a pencil while hoping the whole time that the music wasn't ruined, which it never was. If you haven't had to do this then..I don't really know. I don't know why this is significant or important, but it's definitely important for some reason. Maybe so your Donut Man songs could be played and danced to over and over again.
Barney. Love him or hate him, this disgusting and vile contemptible influence of feigned innocence is nonetheless one of the most famed characters of all time to be subjected to fake or pre-meditated killings. Every child knew how they would kill Barney.
Sesame Street. Not Elmo's World. The real show, the one that portrayed adult personalities like all-around angry individuals that were green and hairy, elephant-sized downers, clueless birds that walked around all the time doing not much in particular, aggressively happy small red people, always hungry individuals that were ruled by their sweet tooth, two men who lived together as just friends and sang together often, and interracial informational musicals that obviously pre-dated Dr. Laura's comments.
Walkie-talkies. Their inherent joy is entirely lost on a generation of cell phone users that are in on a family package that includes their own data plan and smart phone beginning at age 7. "But we want to know where our little Craig Bumblebutt is all the time, and this way I can reach him!" Nice. Hence the dead, lifeless stare when I explain "look Craig! Now you can go across the street into the neighbors' yard that has the pitbull and I can stay here in the living room and we can talk to each other! That's what these are for!"
Roller Blades. I'm not exactly sure where they went, when they disappeared, or how come they still aren't one of the most awesome ideas on the planet. They even work really well. Was it the seven minutes they took to put on or take off? Or was it the exponentially worse feet smell you assaulted the world with then they finally came off? Did too many people die in roller blades? Were they finally banned from being used in public by the United States government? We don't know. But they're gone. And the nineties hair styles are coming back without the footwear to accompany them, and it sucks.
Legos. While you may argue pointlessly that "they are still very popular" or that kids these days "DO PLAY WITH LEGOS" you are very, very wrong. While still very much present, they are only alive in spirit. Legos themselves are dead. The Lego sets you buy in the store are what I affectionately call the "Michael Eisner" version of the toy. The core pieces are still barely present, but the prices are more expensive somehow. Whole Star Wars sets of battleships and speeder bikes now come with a grand total of about...twelve pieces. There are so many different kinds of lego pieces now it's difficult to find blocks and squares i.e. "I need a six-long, I'll trade you for my four-long or a chair, which is really rare" is very much dead. Here's to you real Legos. Kids don't realize how much MORE fun it was back in the day. And if you don't know who Michael Eisner is, you're probably not agreeing with or understanding any part of this list.
Easy-Bake Ovens. The only thing easy about them was that they were easily the worst idea ever concieved. Complicated, dangerous, expensive and poorly marketed, these violations of all children's rights in America were around for a long time...AND YOU CAN STILL BUY THEM. Why. Why? WHY? They have made the top ten list because thankfully today's children don't know what they are, but please keep it that way. It's a good thing kids today missed out and continue to miss out on them.
Blisters on Your Left Thumb. Unless you somehow have preserved a Nintendo 64 for the last eight hundred years, it's very, very difficult to get a blister on your left thumb any other way than the hours of laughter and joy that the gameplay provided.
Pogs. Because playing for keeps when you're not allowed to isn't as fun with anything else on earth
If any of the above you truly, truly miss, don't worry. They're not completely gone. Montana still thinks most of the above is so great and has caches and volumes upon volumes of everything that used to be awesome.

THE DAILY RUNDOWN is a quick look at just a few of the cool screenings and film events happening around the U.S. every day. It is not intended to be an exhaustive, comprehensive list, but a sampling of the terrific genre cinema available to check out at your local art house, megaplex, film society, and repertory theaters.
FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 2017 (All show times are local)
The Alamo Drafthouse in El Paso, TX is screening David Fincher's modern masterpiece THE SOCIAL NETWORK at 10:00 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.
TROUBLE EVERY DAY, Claire Denis' combination of the art house with gory cannibal cinema, is playing at the Siskel Film Center in Chicago at 6:00 pm. This is a 35mm screening. Tickets and info can be found here.
The New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles is doing a double feature of witty '70s British horror with THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES at 7:00 pm and THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD at 9:05 pm. Both films are being screened from 35mm prints. Tickets and info can be found here.
In THE STREET FIGHTER, Sonny Chiba does what he does best: kicks a lot of ass. Watch him do his thing at the Amherst Cinema in Amherst, MA at 9:45 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.
Despite it's reputation as a timeless classic, THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN is actually just a solid western re-working of THE SEVEN SAMURAI that is made more memorable because of its role in helping make international stars of Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, and Charles Bronson. You can see these legends in the making on the big screen as the IFC Center in New York screens a 35mm print of the film at 11:00 am. Tickets and info can be found here.
BRICK, the first feature film from STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI director Rian Johnson became an instant cult favorite and managed to make Joseph Gordon-Levitt a bonafide leading man. It's playing at the Laurelhurst Theater and Pub in Portland, OR at 4:10 pm and 9:30 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.
If you know of an under-the-radar theater or film society regularly putting together repertory screenings or special events, feel free to let me know on Twitter!

Lotte really has the lot
Lotte Mart is a typical supermarket chain that is very popular throughout Asia. The Lotte Mart in D.7 is a typically huge expanse kept clean & presentable with icy cool air conditioning. The shelves are well stocked & basically everything for ones domicile is available here. There is a huge range of foods from fruit & vegetables to dog food & a small section with imported goods.
Additionally, household electrical goods & clothing are available. I would advise against shopping for electrical goods here, 1 million VND & upwards for a toaster ($50) seems like an awful lot of bread for a relatively cheap item. Also, shopping for clothing can be frustrating as the sizes tend to be small (even for us regular sized westerners). Also contained in this gargantuan building is a Pizza Hut, a Lotteria (no surprise), a food court with a fairly diverse selection & a cinema.
In my view this is a great place for food shopping, the huge range makes it a formidable resource. My criticisms of Lotte are the over priced electrical goods & the fact that out of over 30 cashiers, only 12 were operating which led to long queues. In addition, a staff member had the impudence to say that the taking of pictures was not permitted. I ignored her, just as the security guards ignored me as seen in a picture.
Lotte Mart is well worth a visit, an ideal place for your grocery restocking. Three stars for Lotte Mart which funnily enough is the same number of over priced toasters here.

D.C. Cops Bust Candy Bar Chewer
Stephanie Willett was held in police custody for three hours because she kept chewing a candy bar (instead of swallowing it or spitting it out) after entering a subway station in Washington D.C. According to the AP news story, she was warned to finish the candy bar before entering the station. She nodded to the officer who warned her, popped the last bit into her mouth, threw the wrapper into a trash can, and they proceeded into the station to catch her train. The transit officer then followed her into the station and arrested her. Quote of the day: "If she had stopped eating, it would have been the end of it" -Transit Police Chief Polly Hanson


text: OSC hands out hefty bans A Mississauga exempt market dealer is the latest industry player to hold up its hand to having misled investors, choosing to settle with the OSC for millions in disgorgement as well as a hefty trading ban. The regulator announced the settlement with Gentree Asset Management Inc., R.E.A.L. Group Fund III (CANADA) LP, Canpro Income Fund I, LP, and Normand Gauthier on Thursday – along with an order for a $1.8 million disgorgement and the return of $114,400 to investors in one suspect fund. The agreement also includes $15,000 in penalties and $10,000 in costs. The three organizations have permanently been banned from trading, although Gauthier will be eligible to resume that activity after 10 years. While selling securities, the parties misled potential investors; more specifically, Gentree failed to comply with its obligations around portfolio management, record keeping and capital requirement. Between December 2004 and May 31, 2011, Gauthier and Gentree sold common shares, warrants, and preferred shares of Gentree for approximately $1,785,950.62 to about 60 Ontario investors, not all of whom qualified as accredited investors or met other applicable prospectus exemptions. In fact, in the months prior to its suspension as a portfolio manager, Gentree's portfolio management responsibilities were not being properly discharged or supervised by Gentree and Gauthier, the OSC finds. Gentree violated the know your client and suitability obligations, in part by failing to meet with clients and to ensure that sufficient information was on hand when making or approving all trades. It also did not maintain written records of trade instructions and failed to maintain evidence of portfolio oversight, thereby failing to meet the general record requirements. SHARE

(September, 18, 2017) – Armstrong State University will host a free lecture by Dr. Paul Dunn, an assistant professor of biology.

In 2004, Tony Blair's Labour government said it would establish cost-saving centres to save £159m by sharing "back-office" functions such as information technology, personnel and procurement between Whitehall departments.
The initial start-up costs were budgeted at £900m.
Assuming a cost of funding this at about 6%, which was the gilt rate in 2004, this would have given a payback over 7 years, which frankly isn't that fantastic.
By 2011, the total establishment costs had risen to £1.4 billion, so that if we still believe the purported savings the payback period with interest has jumped up to 13 years and we are still 5 years away from seeing any saving. The most amazing statistic is that increases in the budget for this £159m cost saving exercise were running at over £70m a year.
Moral: when a politician says they can fix a problem, don't.believe a word. They have neither the ability nor the commitment to do so when they are chasing the next soundbite. And don't believe the Treasury when they measure value for money on PFI schemes

I have a Mini Album to share using this month kit 'Boardwalk'. The cover of this album is from Zutter Curved Spine Cover 6x6 which u can get here. The insert of my album is chipboard based and envelopes covered in pattern papers.
I used the Main kit with two add on's kit, Boogie Board and Sea Glass. Can u spot the buttons on the front cover? I did that using the Epiphany Craft Shape Studio Tool Round 14. You can find it here. Now you can have any image as your personalized buttons! It's so much fun!
For the front and back cover i apply a thin layer of Gesso and then stamped the map image with 4 colours of ink. I stick to a base colour of green for the whole album and add plenty of tags for extra photos. I hope you're inspired to create your own mini soon and do check out the store here.

Welcome to another week of the Sassy Saturday Blog Hop. Except, it's technically no longer a blog hop. Jasmine Walts, the founder, decided to discontinue it due to lack of participation and her own lack of time to promote it. However, I like the idea of it so I'm going to continue with my own excerpts.
The purpose of the blog hop used to be showcasing excerpts from our novels about kick-butt heroines. Every Saturday is a new post. If you want read more about it, the link is here.
This excerpt here picks up as Eric returns to Ataidar from his mission for Anuzat. He and Basilard take turns using concealment spells to hide from monsters in the Yacian Caverns. While resting, Eric has another meeting with Kasile.
After half an hour, Basilard relieved him. He gave Eric a three-hour break and they switched back and forth until Anuzat called a stop. By then, Eric was mentally exhausted. He gratefully lay down and when he opened his eyes, he was in a dark void.
He rubbed his eyes, but the darkness remained. His first thought was that everyone's light stones had gone out so he pulled another from his pack and activated it. Princess Kasile lay next to him.
She was sleeping. Her hair was combed and her dress pristine. No jewel or hint of make-up was anywhere in sight. She lay peacefully asleep in the void.
Shrugging, he knelt by Kasile and gently shook her shoulder.
"Princess." She moaned in her sleep and rolled over. "Princess, it's me, Eric Watley."
Kasile slowly opened her eyes. When all she saw was darkness, she groaned. In a much brighter voice she said, "Is it morning already, Eric?"
"Uh . . . Your Highness, turn around." Kasile did and blinked fine eyelashes. Then she hugged Eric with enough force to knock him on his back.
"Eric! It's so good to actually see you!" Eric mumbled "likewise," too embarrassed to say anything else. Kasile's happiness dimmed and, still on top of Eric, she looked about. "Where are we?"
"I-I d-don't know." Suddenly the girl realized she was lying on him. Her own cheeks turned bright red and she scampered off.
"I'm very, very sorry, Mr. Watley. I shouldn't have lounged like that. Forgive me."
"Your Highness, I said it was okay to call me 'Eric'."
She smiled. "Then you must call me "Kasile.' We know each other well enough by now."
"But, Your Highness!"
"You told me about the time you went to a museum, were wrapped up in toilet paper, and put on display as a mummy! Would you tell that to any less than a friend?"
"But that was just to make you laugh!"
"Of course," Kasile continued, undaunted. "Friends cheer each other up when they need it."
"But . . . Your . . . Your Highness . . ." Eric protested helplessly.
Kasile smiled mischievously. "I order you to call me 'Kasile.'"
With a smile of his own, Eric consented. "As you wish, Princess Kasile." She gave him a royal whack on the arm. Rubbing said arm, he continued, "Well, I can't be dreaming. That hurt too much."
"And you call yourself a mercenary. Shame on you!"
"Hey, I'm a battle mage, not a fighter."
There was nothing but darkness beyond the range of Eric's light stone: pure blackness as far as the eye could see. What they stood on looked no different from the space above their heads.
Dengel, can you hear me?
"There is no need to think here." For the first time, Eric saw him.
The dead mage was two heads taller than Eric and his golden-brown hair fell loose to his waist. His eyes were sharp, his nose slightly hooked, and, like all elves, his ears were pointed. However, they seemed longer than Quando's. He wore a cloak over a robe decorated with runes. He expected someone ancient, but Dengel didn't look a day over thirty.
"This is a Union Point of Telepathic Empathy or UPTE." Eric blinked. Dengel sighed. "A 'mental meeting room': a metaphysical location created by the union of your and the princess's minds."
"Eric, what are you looking at?"
If she can't hear Dengel, then of course she can't see him. "I'm talking with that friend I was telling you about. The one helping me plan your rescue."
"I see. I look forward to meeting them in person."
Eric turned away. "Uhh . . . He's more of an idea guy . . . So . . . he won't be doing any of the actual rescuing, and he's pretty far away from Ataidar . . ." In a matter of speaking . . .
"Eric . . ." Kasile sauntered to the battle mage and leaned in close. "I have a feeling you don't want me to meet this friend of yours."
"T-that's n-not it, Your . . ." Kasile wagged her finger. " . . . Kasileness." Eric wanted to smack himself for saying something so lame, but Kasile giggled. "It's just . . . I promised I wouldn't tell."
"Eric, since your budding relationship has created this space, we should put it to good use. Practice the theories I showed you earlier."______________________________________________________________________

Das Bande
Among all of the work and relocation-related craziness I was faced with this summer, I somehow managed to begin one zine collaboration project, and end another. This one-- Das Bande-- was a whopping year-and-a-half in the works. I am happy to say that it finally made its way into the world in August...the week that I left town!
Das Bande was a collaboration between Gena Meldazy and myself. Gena was one of the people interviewed for my Punk Rockers on Creative Survival and the Survival of Creativity zine in 2009. Shortly after finishing that project, Gena asked if I would like to work with her on a zine project that focusses on women involved in punk rock across Canada. The zine ended up featuring several interviews (mostly conducted by Gena) with individuals (most impressively Jade Blade from the legendary Vancouver punk band The Dishrags...whoa!), and the interviews were broken up by drawings I did of girls from in and around Toronto's punk scene. For the cover, we asked the formerly of Toronto/now of Vancouver printmaker and illustrator Megan Speers to draw something, and the result-- a gang of girls camping in rural BC, presumably?-- was totally and utterly amazing. After much humming and hawing over an appropriate name for the zine, we finally settled on Das Bande, and I hand stamped title bands for the small print run of 50 zines in total. The zine also has a fold-out poster of the interior drawings I did for the zine, which I unfortunately lacked the foresight to photograph...darn!
Do you want a copy of this zine? Gena is overseeing its distribution, and I suspect that they may be all accounted for seeing as the print run was so small. If you're interested, contact Gena and ask her if and how you can get one.

Owen brought us some yummy orange Cheeze Its for snack time! We read the story Cat's Colors by Jane Cabrera and learned that Cat's favorite color is ORANGE! We then brainstormed orange things and put them in an orange book with Cat's cute face on it. We also read Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes. It is a great story to discuss bullying and how it can affect our friends at school. We worked on syllables in words and our names and practiced our neatest handwriting as we wrote our first and last name. We also added up the letters in our first and last name. Here are our cute cats!

"Se thunor hit thryscedh mid thaere fyrenan aecxe."[Dialogue of Solomon and Saturn]
Translated from Old English into Modern English the above quotation reads "Thunor threshes with his fiery axe". This passage is referred to in Jacob Grimm`s Teutonic Mythology Volume 1 and Walter Keating Kelly`s Curiosities of Indo-European Tradition and Folklore [a book which I highly recommend]. It is a passage that I have quoted before within articles on my blogs as it is probably the oldest reference to the Thunder God in Anglo-Saxon literature.
Some may argue that this passage simply refers to the xtian god`s use of thunder as a weapon with which to smite the `Devil` and this is a valid point. However thunder is one of the main attributes of the primary deity of the Indo-Europeans such As Zeus, Jupiter, Thor/Thunor/Donar and Indra and other peoples too.
What seals the bargain for me is that Thunor or thunder is referred to as wielding an axe which my readers will be aware is the original weapon of the Indo-European Thunder God. Stylistically the hammer developed from the axe and it is the axe more than the hammer that was the favourite weapon and tool of our Germanic and Indo-European ancestors. It was both a symbol of the supreme Sky God and of royal authority.
I am reminded of the Bush Barrow stone mace which is regarded as part of the regalia of the King who doubtless governed from Stonehenge as being part of his royal seat. Some have likened it to the Lightning Sceptre of Agamemnon, the King of Mycenae. However the Bush Barrow mace and phase III of Stonehenge predate Mycenae by at least 500 years. So any connection between them must be from a common Indo-European shared inheritance.
"A true explanation has to lie in the foundations of Indo-European cosmology, which everywhere posited a thunder-and-lightning god not unlike the well-attested Thor of Norse mythology."[Stonehenge City. A Reconstruction, Leon Stover, 2003]
From time to time I still see misinformed people expressing the view that Stonehenge was not built by Indo-Europeans. Now they may be right about Stonehenge Phase I but not Phases II and III, the last phase being the product of the distinctively Indo-European Wessex`Warrior culture. This should cause us to view the megaliths in a new sight.
Three excellent books which discuss the Indo-European aspect of Stonehenge are:
Stonehenge of the Kings. A People Appear, Patrick Crampton, 1967
Stonehenge and the Origins of Western Culture[also known as Stonehenge. The Indo-European Inheritance, Bruce Kraig and Leon Stover, 1979
Stonehenge City. A Reconstruction, Leon Stover, 2003
The first two books are out of print but the second one is still very widely available.
The hammer as I have said developed from the axe and stylistically it is very similar apart from the Icelandic Foss Wolfs Hammer which is most certainly hammer shaped. Outside of Scandinavia, England and the very northern part of Germany I am not aware of any archaeological discoveries of Thor`s Hammer pendants unless they were left behind by Vikings in other countries. It does not appear to be a symbol which was commonly worn by the Germanic peoples except in the late 8th century CE onwards and probably as a Scandinavian reaction to creeping xtianisation of the North. That of course does not mean that it did not exist in the mythology of the North or that it was not used for cultic practice. Scholars theorise that the idea for wearing hammer amulets was a conscious reaction against the cross wearing xtians.
However the above argument is of course a simplification. We do know of Thunor`s hammers from Anglo-Saxon Kent in the 6th century CE prior to the emergence of the Vikings into recorded history. One such example is the Gilton hammer which was found with spear pendants, no doubt intended to be amulets signifying Woden`s spear, Gungnir. A closer examination of the Gilton hammer causes me to question if it is a hammer or a long handled axe.
Whilst Thor`s Hammer amulets are a relatively late development axe amulets are found all over northern Europe, many marked with lightning symbols such as circles or dots in circles, possibly signifying hail stones, an attribute of a good old thunder storm. These axe amulets still persist right into the Viking era and amongst the Slavs, Balts and Celts this was the primary symbol of the Thunder God and continued to be so.
Therefore I find it significant that the anonymous author of the Dialogue of Solomon and Saturn should refer to Thunor as wielding an axe and not a hammer. I believe that this is how our Anglo-Saxon ancestors viewed the thunder weapon of Thunor.
"It is well known in England, and also in Germany, that no witch can step over a besom laid along the threshold of the house door on the inside. She will kick it or push it aside before she can enter your house, and by this token you may know her for what she is. An axe[Thor`s weapon] and a broom are laid crosswise on the innerside of the threshold over which the nurse has to step when she goes out with an infant to have it christened. This is done that the babe may be safe from all the devices of the powers of evil."[Kelly]
As an aside my readers may be aware that baptism, that is sprinkling on the forehead of infants with water was an ancient Germanic pre-xtian custom and like many of our ancient ways it was co-opted into xtian practice.
"As Indra used to milk the cloud cows and churn the milk lakes and fountains with the thunderbolt, so did Thor. The German god`s fiery weapon was often represented as an axe, and hence it is a customary thing with witches to draw milk from the handle of an axe stuck in a doorpost."[Kelly]
Clearly Thunor`s axe as a concept continued to linger in Anglo-Saxon and German folklore long after the forced conversion of our ancestors as the above references establish but the axe was also an important cultic object. According to HR Ellis Davidson the famous Mammen Axe from 10th century CE Mammen in Denmark was a ceremonial axe and the top of the axe features a:
"face with staring eyes and beard". Apparently this was a "method of representing the thunder god. The serpent on the blade was associated with Thor. Thor`s symbol in the Viking Age was both an axe and a hammer".[Scandinavian Mythology]
Rudolf Simek in his Dictionary of Northern Mythology states:
"In northern Europe a cult of axes, in which axes unsuitable for practical use played an important role, is evident and is supported by archaeological finds dating later than the Neolithic Age. In the Bronze Age numerous rock carvings, and also the little bronze figure from Grevensvaenge, indicate a widespread cult of axes which should probably be understood as a fertility cult, as the phallic figures on the rock pictures suggest. Miniature axes as amulets are also documented since the late Iron Age and then again in the Viking Age."
And again he states:
"The great age of the Germanic axe-cult, the relationship with the Cretan axe-cult and the parallels to the lightning weapons of the non-Germanic gods, such as Indra`s and Hercules` clubs or Sucellos the Gaul`s hammer all suggest an Indo-Germanic origin of the various forms of the axe."

In this post we explain about all four conditional construct with the help of examples If you are reading our C# posts first time we will suggest you to read our previous post to better understand the concept, if you already had or you know the concept and want to know about conditional construct then start reading. But first we should understand about Boolean value.
Boolean Variable and Operator
C# provide a data type called bool. A variable of bool data type can only hold two value either false or true. For example:
bool car;
car = false;
Console.WriteLine(car); // print False on console screen
In the preceding example a variable of bool data type car is declared which has been assigned a value false, and WriteLine method of the console class is used to print the value of car variable.
Similarly a Boolean operator is an operator that evaluate a statement whose result is either true or false. For example:
int a, b;
bool result;
a = 10;
b = 8;
result = (a != b);//evaluate the expression on right and assign its result to the variable on left
Console.WriteLine(result);// print the value of result on console screen
In the preceding example, we have declared two variable a, and b of integer data type and assigned values 10 to a, and 8 to b. In the fifth line we are checking whether the value of variable a is equals to the value of variable b, to check it we are using a comparison operator not equals to that can only have two values either true or false, and then assigning the outcome to the result variable of Boolean data type that again can have only two value true, or false.
NOTE: In the preceding example the result variable is of Boolean data type any other data type will not support this statement and will give error because the expression will return a Boolean value and only a Boolean variable can store bool value true or false.
To fully understand the concept of conditional constructs you should have the knowledge of data types and variables. Click here to read about it in our post using various operators in C #.
Conditional construct
Conditional construct or conditional statement are used to make decision in your program consider an example of a traffic light you will stop your car when the light is red and go when it is green, so whether you will stop your car or go depend on the state of traffic light whether it is red or green. Whenever you find this type of situation in coding you can use conditional construct.
The conditional construct will execute a particular block of statement based on the condition you provide, the condition are of Boolean value , means an expression will return either true or false value.
There are four types of conditional construct in C#:
- if Statement.
- if….else statement.
- Nested if…else statement.
- Switch case statement.
The if statement
The if statement is followed by a BooleanExpression if the BooleanExpression evaluates to true the statement in the if the block will be executed but if the BooleanExpression evaluates to false, the execution of code will continue with whatever code is after that if block.
The syntax of if statement:
if (BooleanExpression)
If there is only a single statement in your if block it is not necessary to enclose the if block within curly braces (delimiters). Example:
if (BooleanExpression)
Statement1; //Single statement
This code will work because it has only one statement in the if block.
The if…else statement
The if...else statement is same as the if statement but with the addition of an else block. If the BooleanExpression in the if…else block evaluate to false the statement in the else block will get executed. The syntax for if…else construct or statement is:
if (BooleanExpression)
Consider an example where you want to accept a number from the user and check if it's an even number or odd, and print the result on the console screen. The following code show you how to do this using the if…else construct:
int a;
Console.WriteLine("Enter a number");
a = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
if ( a % 2 == 0 )
Console.WriteLine("You Entered an Even Number");
Console.WriteLine("You Entered an Odd Number");
So, in the preceding code we have declared a variable a of integer data type then we used the ReadLine method of the console class to accept input from user on line 3 the ReadLine method by default accept data in string format so we used the Convert.ToInt32 method to convert it in integer format for our integer variable a in the BooleanExpression of the if block we use the modulus operator to check if the remainder is equals to 0 after dividing the variable by 2 if it evaluates to true the code in the if block will get executed if not the else block will get executed. See the output of console screen below:
The nested if…else Statement
The if… else statement can also be nested inside each other. Means you can write an if…else statement inside an if block or the else block. Check the syntax below:
if (BooleanExpression)
if (BooleanExpression)
For example think of a situation where the user want to check his grade, for this he have to input his name and student id if the input he gave was right then the grade will be shown on the console screen else "Invalid Name Or ID" will be shown. For this he have to write the following code:
string name, studentId;
Console.WriteLine("Please Enter Your Name");
name = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("Please Enter Your Student ID");
studentId = Console.ReadLine();
if (name.ToUpper() == "ALEX")
if (studentId == "i396")
Console.WriteLine("Congratulations You Got Grade A");
Console.WriteLine("Invalid Name or ID");
In the preceding code we accept the name and student id of the user and store it in the name and studentId variable which are of string data type note that the ReadLine method accept string data type by default so we don't have to convert the data type of our variables. In the sixth line we are using ToUpper() method to convert the user input into uppercase letter, this small things are really important in your code because you don't know how the user will type his name to fix this error we used the ToUpper() method. Then you can see that how use the second if…else statement to validate the studentId. So this is how you can use nested if…else block in this type of situation where you have to evaluate multiple condition in your code. See the output below:
And the invalid input:
But this code can also be written with logical operators check the code below:
string name, studentId;
Console.WriteLine("Please Enter Your Name");
name = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("Please Enter Your Student ID");
studentId = Console.ReadLine();
if ((name.ToUpper() == "ALEX")&&(studentId == "i396"))
Console.WriteLine("Congratulations You Got Grade A");
Console.WriteLine("Invalid Name or ID");
So in the preceding code we used the logical operator to check both condition in the same BooleanExpression, and it will give you the same result. To read about logical operators click here
The switch…case Statement
Think of a situation where have to evaluate a variable for multiple values, like where a user want to open a particular hotel room based on the room number, if you used nested if…else you have write multiple if…else block and it will be time consuming and not a good coding practice. In this type of situation you can use switch…case construct. The switch case construct is used where you have evaluate a variable for multiple values the syntax of switch case is:
switch (controllingExpression)
case constantExpression:
case constantExpression:
case constantExpression:
In the switch case statement the controllingExpression is only evaluated once, the controllingExpression is the variable you want to evaluate. If one of the constantExpression match with the value given in the variable means the controllingExpression the control will be passed to the statements of that matched case. The break statement is used to stop the switch…case construct to prevent the execution of remaining case structures. If none of the constantExpression matched with the value of the controllingExpression the statement under the default statement will run.
Let's write the code on hotel room example were the user want to open a room based on its room number:
int roomNumber;
Console.WriteLine("Enter your room number");
roomNumber = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
switch (roomNumber)
case 105:
Console.WriteLine("Wrong room");
case 106:
Console.WriteLine("Sorry for disturbance, wrong room");
case 107:
Console.WriteLine("Welcome to your room");
case 108:
Console.WriteLine("Hotel staff room");
Console.WriteLine("Sorry Invalid room number");
Check the outputs below:
The user entered 106.
The user entered 107.

The switch…case statement rules
There are some rules you should remember and follow while working with switch…case construct:
- The constant expression must be unique, means two constantExpression can't have the same value.
- You can't use every data type for the switch…case controllingExpression. Only int, char, or string can be used for any other data type like decimal and float you have to use if statement.
- If you are using int data type you have to write 5, for char data type you have to write '5', and for string data type you have to write "5". If you write 4 for string data type it will give you an error it must be written like "4".
So start coding use this concept in your code ask me about any problem you have while using this concepts on your program in comments. Read our previous posts on C#

The second meeting of the Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation of the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development will be held on 26 and 27 January 2017 in room XVII of the Palais des Nations, Geneva. It will commence at 10 a.m.
This meeting is the second in a series of meetings intended to facilitate the reporting of the Working Group to the twenty-first session of the Commission on Science and Technology for Development in 2018.
Background and purpose of the meeting
During its seventieth session, the General Assembly undertook a comprehensive review of the 10-year implementation of the World Summit on the Information Society outcomes.
In the outcome document of that review, General Assembly resolution 70/125 of 16 December 2015, the General Assembly requested the Chair of the Commission on Science and Technology for Development, through the Economic and Social Council, to establish a working group to develop recommendations on how to further implement enhanced cooperation as envisioned in the Tunis Agenda for the Information Society, taking into consideration the work that had been done on the matter thus far. Pursuant to this request, the Chair established the Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation on 2 May 2016.
The Working Group held its first meeting on 30 September 2016 (the Chair's Summary is annexed to this notification), at which it agreed on the following two questions that will guide the discussion at its second meeting:
What are the high-level characteristics of enhanced cooperation?
Taking into consideration the work of the previous Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation and the Tunis Agenda for the Information Society, particularly paragraphs 69-71, what kind of recommendations should be considered?
As a follow-up to the meeting, the Chair of the Working Group invited all stakeholders to submit their contributions to these two questions by e-mail to the Commission on Science and Technology for Development secretariat.
All contributions will be made available for consideration by the Working Group, in their original languages, unless requested otherwise.
The deadline to submit inputs is 15 December 2016.

**More government scandal in Brazilian where police raided the home of Ag Minister Blairo Maggi in a corruption investigation linked to his time as a state governor, adding to the graft troubles rocking President Michel Temer's government.
Last month the Supreme Court opened a bribery probe into Maggi's role in a scheme that gave monthly stipends to lawmakers in exchange for political support.
The former soybean producer denies any wrongdoing, claiming his accusers "lied" in plea bargain testimony.
**The Organic Trade Association is suing the Department of Agriculture over a decision to delay implementation of the organic animal welfare standards finalized in the final days of the Obama administration.
According to an Agri-Pulse report, the OTA announced action through a lawsuit alleging USDA "unlawfully delayed the effective date of the final livestock standards."
The rule was published in the Federal Register a day before President Trump's inauguration. It was originally scheduled to go into effect in March.
AMS says the delay was to allow time for further consideration by USDA.
**The Justice Department is investigating a "significant number" of states for allegedly hiding mistakes in food-stamp payments to win millions in federal performance bonuses.
According to Agri-Pulse, Senators were told Thursday that two states, Virginia and Wisconsin, reached settlements this spring, but 42 states in all were using questionable practices to report error rates.
Anne Coffey, USDA's assistant inspector general, declined to specify the number of states subject of the DOJ probe.

A little ( or maybe big ) thing called love..
I remember the first time we met it was like a miracle..
Made our way downtown.. Holding hands together..
The sun shone.. And I had no reason to cry..
My phone was my world.. my world was you..
I didn't think that you'd mean this much to me..
Back to the tragedy..Thousands times..
You pull then push.. pull then push..
I didn't know why.. but I still feel the same..
Couldn't you see that you affect me this much ??
Sitting here.. seeing you there...
Blaming each other on social media..
Smiling so suddenly when I thought of you..
Put my headsets on.. Let Taylor Swift whispers..
Ignore the world..
I don't know how strong the power is..
I don't know either how to kick it out and throw it away..
It's beautiful yet painful..
I just wanna say I'm simply missing you..
But you will just ignore and come again sometimes..

The President said on April 1 that it would take a little while for people's real feelings to register on health care:
I was up in Maine and I was joking about -- only slightly joking -- about the fact that the day after we signed it, everybody started writing these stories about how the country is still divided on health care, it hasn't suddenly become universally popular. (Laughter.) What's going on?
It's been a week, folks. (Laughter.)
It's been more than a week now, but this isn't the movement he was looking for:
Just 49 percent of people now approve of the job Obama's doing overall, and less than that — 44 percent — like the way he's handled health care and the economy. Last September, Obama hit a low of 50 percent in job approval before ticking a bit higher. His high-water mark as president was 67 percent in February of last year, just after he took office.
Health care disapproval also hit an all-time high:
Adding to Democratic woes, people have grown increasingly opposed to the health care overhaul in the weeks since it became law; 50 percent now oppose it, the most negative measure all year.
Democrats have also lost long-time edges in party approval and trust on the economy. Phil Klein at the American Spectator notes this is the "8th straight national poll showing opposition to ObamaCare at 50% or higher."

While graphene lacks a bandgap, 2D molybdenum disulfide has one naturally.
One-Molecule-Thick Material Has Big Advantages
The molybdenum atoms are teal and the sulfur yellow in the diagram.
...graphene and MoS2 are just the beginning of a new realm of research on two-dimensional materials. "It's the most exciting time for electronics in the last 20 or 30 years," he says. "It's opening up the door to a completely new domain of electronic materials and devices."
Palacios says one potential application of the new material is large-screen displays such as television sets and computer monitors, where a separate transistor controls each pixel of the display. Because the material is just one molecule thick -- unlike the highly purified silicon that is used for conventional transistors and must be millions of atoms thick -- even a very large display would use only an infinitesimal quantity of the raw materials. This could potentially reduce cost and weight and improve energy efficiency.
In the future, it could also enable entirely new kinds of devices. The material could be used, in combination with other 2-D materials, to make light-emitting devices. Instead of producing a point source of light from one bulb, an entire wall could be made to glow, producing softer, less glaring light. Similarly, the antenna and other circuitry of a cellphone might be woven into fabric, providing a much more sensitive antenna that needs less power and could be incorporated into clothing, Palacios says.
The material is so thin that it's completely transparent, and it can be deposited on virtually any other material. For example, MoS2 could be applied to glass, producing displays built into a pair of eyeglasses or the window of a house or office. [emphasis mine]

Green misses third game for Thunder
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Starting power forward Jeff Green missed his third straight game for the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night due to a sprained left ankle.
Coach Scott Brooks says Green is improving and participating more in the Thunder's practices and shootarounds, but was still not ready to return to face the Portland Trail Blazers.
He is listed as day to day.
Oklahoma City was also without reserve Nick Collison, who has missed all eight games this season due to a left leg injury. Third-string point guard Royal Ivey was not with the team due to personal reasons, but Brooks expected him back for Sunday's game against San Antonio.

Election Day wasn't just about the presidency. The election of Donald Trump and a Republican majority in the Senate likely means a conservative majority will dominate the U.S. Supreme Court for decades.
"He could have two or three appointments to the Court in the next four years," said Jeffrey Lax, a professor of political science who specializes in judicial politics, the U.S. Supreme Court in particular. He notes that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (LAW'59) is 83 and Anthony Kennedy is 80. "Four years is a long time," said Lax.
A conservative Supreme Court, working with a Republican Congress, will have a lasting impact on America, said Lax, noting a number of potential, sweeping changes. The Affordable Care Act, upheld by the Court in 2012, likely will be repealed and the Court's 2015 ruling in favor of same-sex marriage could be overturned, returning the issue to the states. A decision in 2013 that effectively gutted the 1965 Voting Rights Act will have an impact on future elections if conservative justices reject individual cases claiming voter suppression.
Lax thinks the deepest core of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision upholding a woman's right to have an abortion, is safe, at least as long as no one else leaves the Court. But he added, "A lot of it has been carved away over the years. Even now, Roe has been deeply wounded in practical effect." The Court also recently agreed to hear a case involving transgender rights, which likely won't be heard until there is a ninth justice. Extension of such rights seems unlikely, said Lax.
Most likely, Trump's first action regarding the Court will be to nominate someone to fill the seat that has been vacant since the February death of Justice Antonin Scalia, the fifth member of what was a conservative majority. "This could be something he uses to play nice with the Republican establishment or he could use it to poke at the establishment," said Lax. "I don't know what to expect."
The list of potential nominees Trump released during the campaign included conservative judges and Senators—even one who didn't endorse him—but didn't list any of the expected names.
Merrick Garland, whose nomination last spring by President Barack Obama (CC'83) was blocked by a Republican majority in the Senate, now is expected to remain a justice in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Partisanship drives Senate votes on Supreme Court nominees in two ways, Lax said. Republicans tend to vote for a Republican president's nominees while Democrats vote against them and vice versa, but Senators also view public opinion through a partisan lens— really listening only to the opinions of constituents from their own party.
Lax said his research has shown that Republican Senators are far more likely to listen to their more conservative constituents than to the average voter in their state. "I don't expect Republicans in Congress to be a meaningful check on Trump, even if their constituents as a whole want it," said Lax.
There also are a number of vacancies on lower federal courts that Trump will be able to fill. After a rule change in 2013, those nominees can be confirmed by a majority vote. Supreme Court nominees still require breaking any filibuster with 60 votes. Although Democrats will have 48 votes in the new Senate, it will be hard for them to block Trump nominees, said Lax.
"If they try to filibuster a nominee, Republicans will end the filibuster and just require a majority vote," he said. But replacing Scalia with another conservative doesn't mean the Court will act exactly as it did before.
"You'll get someone whose thoughts about legal rules will interact in complicated ways with the other justices' thoughts," said Lax. "It's not like you're replacing Scalia with a clone."
