In addition to summer staple "Big Brother," CBS will populate its primetime lineup this summer with a new competition series called "TKO" from Mark Burnett and MGM Television. The logline: "TKO" features one player racing through daunting obstacles while the other contestants are manning battle stations along the course, firing over-the-top projectiles in an attempt to knock them off and slow them down. It's a physical and funny "us versus them" scenario, with the top two players advancing to the final showdown to face off for a cash prize.
Ten episodes are been ordered for "TKO."

With the Alex Smith trade complete, it appeared the Redskins were going to allow Kirk Cousins to look for his lucrative deal in free agency. Now, they could have a change of heart.
Washington is considering placing the franchise tag on Cousins just so they could trade him, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter. The reasoning behind this decision would be for the Redskins to get back what they dished out in the trade with the Chiefs. So, instead of getting nothing in return by allowing the hottest free-agent commodity to walk, Washington is looking for something in return.
However, if they do make that decision to tag him, it comes with a lot of risk considering Cousins is allowed to make his own decision. First, he can wait as long as he wants to sign the franchise tag, which would have the Redskins biting their fingernails as they watch the $34.5 million stay on their books.
Second, Cousins does have a say in who he wants to get traded to. He could tell Washington he doesn't want to go to a specific destination, which could mess up their plans as well. And third, if Washington puts the tag on Cousins and pulls it before the start of the season, they would lose a 2019 compensatory pick in the draft that they wouldn't risk if he were to just play the free agent market.
The Redskins can contemplate the risk as they await Feb. 20 -- the date teams are allowed to tag players.
The Jets are primed to go after a quarterback this offseason, and with a projected $100 million in cap space, they are front-runners for Cousins. If the Redskins do tag Cousins, though, the Jets would have to ponder giving up one of their draft picks in April to land their future quarterback.

New Additions
As mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I've added a couple of new members to my household.
Walnut (Wally) is a domestic shorthair that I adopted 2 weeks ago. He's a tabby with a white chest. His mother was a street cat now being cared for by a Cat Welfare Society fosterer when she gave birth to 4 kittens. Wally still has a sister waiting to be adopted so if you're interested, please let me know.
Macadamia (Macky) is a Ragdoll which I brought home over the weekend. He was born a month after Wally but he's slightly bigger. Judging be his parents' size, he's going to be a big cat! He's still adjusting to his new home and getting into lots of mischief.
While Macky is still skittish and aloof (I'll give him a couple of weeks to settle in) Wally is the sweetest and most loving cat ever (not that I've ever had cats but I'm biased). He usually comes and sits between my feet or lies down for a snooze next to me. I just have to pick him up for a cuddle and he becomes a purring machine.
I hope to fall in love with the new kitten soon. Wally has been super friendly and affectionate but when they play fight, Macky sometimes spits and hisses in the most unsociable manner.

The Fitzwilliam Museum.
Gallery 13 (Mellon) and 8 (Octagon), Free Entry.
2nd July – 3rd November 2013.
The temporary exhibition Origins of the Afro Comb: 6,000 years of Culture, Politics and Identity is displayed across two rooms. The first explores the historical and geographical development of the comb, while the second examines the place of the comb in the African diaspora and its cultural significance today. The exhibition has been curated by Egyptologist and Senior Assistant Keeper in the Department of Antiquities at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Dr Sally-Ann Ashton, and developed as a result of community responses to the Museum's ancient Egyptian collection.
As a comparative study of material culture the exhibition presents a typology of hair combs throughout African history. Beginning with an extensive collection from ancient Egypt and Sudan the exhibition invites visitors to trace the development of the comb, in both design and concept, through to 20th century Africa and influences beyond the continent. As such, Origins of the Afro Comb situates ancient Egypt firmly within its African context, presenting a refreshing and thought-provoking narrative that stands out from its contemporaries. Interpretation panels refer to ancient Egypt as Kemet, the ancient Egyptian name for Egypt and a term which Dr Ashton explains has "become associated with placing Egypt in its African cultural context".
The ancient Egypt and Sudan section is arranged in chronological order, displaying examples from Predynastic to Islamic Egypt with corresponding text panels. This simple yet effective style of typology arrangement draws attention to interesting patterns and trends in the archaeological record, such as the gap in evidence from the Old Kingdom and the influence of outside cultures and settlement in design and the width of teeth, indicating changes in hair type or length. As with the rest of the exhibition the Egyptian and Sudanese collections are supported by a range of contextualising objects from each period, such as statuary depicting hairstyles, to help emphasise the human element and social and cultural dynamics of these objects.
To compliment this style of display Afro Comb presents an interesting homage to Sir Flinders Petrie's own typology of ancient hair combs made in 1927, which remains the only published typology of its kind. Copies of plates from Petrie's publication, artworks in their own right, form the backdrop to this thematic sub-section that works to historically centre the exhibition and its aims.As ancient and Islamic Egypt feeds into 20th century Africa the objects are allowed to speak for themselves and the visitor can actively engage in interpretation by seeking similarities and differences in the group. The beauty of this exhibition lies in its seamless intertwining of archaeological and anthropological narratives – using one object to access and connect human stories across time and geographical location. This exhibition presents a valuable collaboration between the Fitzwilliam Museum and Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, demonstrating the benefits of working with partner collections, sharing and voicing multi-disciplinary expertise.
The Fitzwilliam Museum has once again led the way with community engagement and outreach, working with a Community Committee in devising the exhibition, and advising on content and display. It is often difficult to reflect shared authorship in display but the exhibition takes steps to show how vital participation is. Visitors are encouraged to take and share photographs of the exhibition, their own combs and hairstyles via Instagram, a space is provided for sharing comments and memories at the end of the exhibition, as well as audio-visual stations to show interviews and archive footage, and allow visitors the opportunity to create alternate labels for objects with their own interpretations. This kind of participation ensures the exhibition remains relevant and relatable, and reflects more accurately the communities it aims to represent.
The importance of this relationship can be seen just within the entrance of the exhibition where the focus rests on a single pedestal display case showing an animal bone comb from Abydos (c.3500 BCE) alongside a 20th century example in plastic. The direct comparison made between these two combs and the use of cultural motifs on the handles led directly to the development of the exhibition and so beautifully sets the scene for a stunning and sophisticated exhibition that explores the depths of our relationship and fascination with everyday objects.

By NEIL HARTNELL
Tribune Business Editor
A BAHAMIAN businessman yesterday challenged the Government to demonstrate its support for local entrepreneurs after a new front erupted in his battle with a foreign developer.
Glen and Tracy Kelly, who were previously evicted from their Crown Land farm at Abaco's Schooner Bay, have now been hit with a lawsuit that seeks to bar them from operating a property management business at the project.
The action, launched by Schooner Bay Ventures, alleges that the couple - as homeowners at the 220-acre development - have breached the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions all property purchasers must sign up to.
This Declaration, according to legal filings obtained by Tribune Business, contains a clause granting Schooner Bay's developer an eight-year exclusivity on all real estate and property management activities at the development. While that exclusivity will end shortly, according to this newspaper's sources, the Declaration also stipulates "that no business may operate in Schooner Bay without a business licence issued by the Board".
Schooner Bay Ventures is alleging that the Kellys obtained no such licence, resulting in them "wrongfully and unlawfully" providing property management services for at least five other homeowners at the development.
It is seeking damages from the couple, a Supreme Court declaration that they are "barred from marketing properties within Schooner Bay", and a 'permanent injunction' to prevent them from engaging in such activities.
The legal move by Schooner Bay's developer represents the latest setback for the Kellys, and effectively adds insult to injury given the fall-out they have suffered as a result of being evicted from their organic farm.
Pledging to fight the latest attack by the foreign developer, Mr Kelly told Tribune Business the lawsuit was designed "to hit us financially and emotionally" in a bid to force the couple "to give up and go into the night".
He suggested that Schooner Bay Ventures was attempting to "make it as uncomfortable as they can", and using its 'deeper pockets' to wear them down financially via a "war of attrition".
Tribune Business last year revealed how Schooner Bay Ventures had seemingly breached the conditions of its 100-acre Crown Land licence by evicting Driftwood Food Company, the Kellys' hydroponic farm, from that site.
Mr Kelly yesterday said the Government had gone "quiet" on his complaints over the farm eviction, and 'called out' the Prime Minister and his administration over their support of Bahamian entrepreneurs being squeezed out by wealthier foreign investors.
"I'd like to hear the Government's views, especially the Prime Minister's, who owns a home there that is being managed by the developer," he told Tribune Business. "Does the Government think it important that Bahamians be allowed to take up the entrepreneurial spirit and go and serve their country, or do they think foreign big business is far more important.
"I'd like to think they're both important. I think they [Schooner Bay] realise our pockets aren't as deep as theirs. It's no secret. If it's a game of attrition they'll win, but I've got to believe at some point the Government of my country will do the right thing."
Mr Kelly's call is especially problematic for Dr Minnis, who owns a property at Schooner Bay. Tribune Business previously revealed that the developer is managing Dr Minnis's property, the Island Cottage, in an arrangement that violates Bahamian real estate law. The Prime Minister's press secretary, Anthony Newbold, declined to comment on the matter when invited to do so.
The new battle with the Kellys is the latest in a series of ongoing controversies swirling around Schooner Bay, after Tribune Business last year revealed the issues with its Crown Land licence and evidence that it is violating Bahamian real estate law.
The developer, headed by Dr David Huber, dubbed 'America's richest Mormon', and US attorney Tina Gascoigne, took "great exception" to this newspaper's reports without providing any evidence to refute them. And there is little doubt that Schooner Bay's development has stalled ever since Dr Huber severed ties with then-partner, Lindroth Development Company, in 2013-2014, with the project's original vision and philosophy in danger of being lost.
Despite filing its lawsuit with the Supreme Court registry on September 20, 2017, Schooner Bay Ventures only served the Kellys with the papers on March 7. The move comes after the developer lost a similar action this January when Justice Ian Winder rejected its bid for an injunction to block Bahamian realtor, James Malcolm, from operating the exact same business at Schooner Bay.
Mr Kelly said Schooner Bay Ventures' decision to proceed with the lawsuit has "completely blown my mind", given that the ruling in Mr Malcolm's case had seemingly established a legal "precedent" that would favour the couple.
The action, which only names Tracy Kelly as a defendant, alleges: "In breach of the Declaration and her Covenants as a homeowner, the defendant wrongfully and unlawfully marketed for rent and/or provided property management services for the following properties within Schooner Bay."
Five properties were named, and the lawsuit alleged: "In further breach of the Declaration, the defendant is operating a business marketing for sale and/or rent the properties located within the Schooner Bay development without having first obtained a business licence from the Schooner Bay Community Corporation....
"The defendant knowingly and unlawfully carried out the above-mentioned acts which are causing - and will continue to cause harm - to the plaintiff's business, causing the plaintiff to suffer serious loss and damage."
Schooner Bay Ventures claimed that the Kellys' business had resulted in it losing property sales and rentals commission; property management fees; marketing opportunities and "loss of opportunity".
Many observers, though, while likely interpret Schooner Bay's latest move as further evidence of a desire to establish a monopoly on all real estate business at the project at the expense of driving out Bahamian companies.
Mr Kelly yesterday said the couple had been engaged in property management services at the south Abaco development, ensuring homes and properties were maintained; paying bills on behalf of owners when they were absent; and providing access to repairmen when necessary.
"We're aggrieved by this move as much as anything else," he told Tribune Business of the lawsuit. "We certainly have the relevant licences. They [the developer] knew full well we doing this business, and to my knowledge no one else has a business licence from Schooner Bay."
Mr Kelly indicated he would reach out to the couple's homeowner clients to obtain their support, pointing out that "most of them are well-to-do folks" who have "contacts" in Nassau.
"We're going to engage a lawyer in our defense, and see if it goes any further than this," he added. "It saddens us, but I've learnt nothing should surprise me any more. I'm still in shock, but I shouldn't be."
Expressing unhappiness that his wife had been named as a defendant, even though the company's government Business License was in his name, Mr Kelly said: "I think it's a very intentional attempt to hit us financially and emotionally with the hope we'll give up and disappear into the night.
"That's what I truly believe. They'll make it as uncomfortable as they can in the hope we go away and, whether the action's valid or not, they won't have to pursue it."
Mr Kelly alleged that the legal actions against the couple and Mr Malcolm were a "systematic" effort to drive Bahamian entrepreneurs out of Schooner Bay, and warned: "There will be more unless they're [the developer] somehow checked in their behaviour.
"Anyone they perceive as being in the way of their real estate sales machine. The funny thing is our business could have been one of the greatest cogs in the wheel, but they look at it as a detriment.
"There are homeowners who do not want them [the developer] to manage their home, even if they're legally entitled to. They do not want them. It's good to have options and competition for Bahamian and foreign homeowners at Schooner Bay."
Schooner Bay, through its Covenants and actions, appears to be in breach of Bahamian real estate law. Foreign developers, under the Real Estate (Brokers and Salesmen) Act, can only sell and manage the real estate that they own. Once such property is sold to third-party buyers, the Act prevents them from engaging in re-sales of that real estate, and operating their own property management/vacation rental businesses.
In Schooner Bay's case, it has only sold lots to home buyers who were then responsible for vertical construction on their properties. Thus it cannot get involved in managing these homes and/or renting and leasing them out, activities it has been engaged in, and without the necessary licence from the Bahamas Real Estate Association (BREA).
Mr Kelly, meanwhile, said he had received no indication that the Government is prepared to intervene over his farm eviction. "The Bahamas Investment Authority did come up," he told Tribune Business, "and got some information from me. That's it. It's all quiet."
He added that the couple had suffered an "immediate" financial impact as a result of losing everything already planted, and "had to give up other things" to recover between 33-50 per cent of their business by relocating elsewhere.
Unable to offer winter residents "the whole gamut of organic vegetables" previously produced, the Kellys have been forced to focus on "quick growing" crops such as sour creams. While this had created "a lot of angry customers", Mr Kelly said this was not directed at the couple but towards "the right people".

The third consecutive Birmingham Winter Cycle Challenge has been running for a month. It's a small programme with impressive impact; despite the bitter weather putting some people off initially, participants have potentially saved more than two tonnes of CO2 emissions already:
|Miles traveled
|Calories burned
|CO2 emissions saved*
|2.6 tonnes
Just before the programme started, we surveyed more than 200 people in Birmingham. Although the majority owned a bicycle, most of them used it less than once a week. When asked what puts them off cycling, the most common answer was 'cycling is dangerous', though time to do it and the weather were popular reasons too. A few would-be cycle commuters complained there was no provision to store them at work. And one respondent said, 'I stopped cycling to work for a while when I had a job with no shower facilities'.
Birmingham is one of the UK's Air Quality Management Areas, which are places where there is concern the national air quality objectives may not be achieved. Road traffic, particularly during peak times such as rush hours, is one of the biggest pollutants in the region.
Programmes like the Winter Cycle Challenge are a valuable element in a region's environmental strategy because they balance the stick with the carrot: they give people positive incentives to make changes to the way they travel. Eventually, that new behaviour should become the norm for them, without requiring external incentives.
But perhaps more importantly, they provide valuable insights into travel attitudes and behaviour at both the individual and population levels.

Hanging Apple Snail Shell Planter
Hanging apple snail shell with one living tillandsia plant.
Tillandsia do not require soil, which makes their display options countless.
Please note that each plant/shell will differ from natural variations.
Keep within 3 feet of a window and water weekly by removing the plant from the shell and submerging the entire plant with water for an hour, once every 2 weeks. You can mist in between if it appears that the plant looks dry. Shake off excess water, turn the plant upside-down and allow it to dry overnight before placing back in the shell.

Oil treatment
Karna purana is the process in which warm, herbalized oil or medicated liquid is gently, slowly
poured into the ears. The treatment begins with an ear and partial head massage. The ear is
then gently filled with 3-10 drops of warm herbalized oil.
This Ayurvedic treatment creates a deep stillness in the head region. Afterwards one may feel

This year Bath is saying hello to its new 10-day multi-arts festival from 19th-28th May 2017...
The festival will see music and literary events taking centre stage and will welcome the biggest and brightest names in these fields to venues across the city of Bath. Over 130 different events have been planned and bookings are already being taken via Bath Box Office, both in person, online, and by telephone on 01225 463362.
At Dukes we've been having a read through the programme, and while we were going to base this week's blog post to the festival, there's so much going on that we've decided to split our top festival picks into a few different parts. This week we're focusing on the top events taking place over the first weekend of the festival: Friday 19th May – Sunday 21st May.
On the Friday will be the big opening event – Party in the City, and this is one incredibly big event! Multiple venues all across Bath will be filled with everything from electro-swing to cheerleading to Chinese shadow-puppetry. No matter what your music taste there's bound to be bands playing that you'll enjoy as all the major genres are covered. There'll be folk, rock, classical, DJ booths, jazz, acoustic, swing and soul. There'll even be drumming and samba dancing on the dedicated Carnival Street. The party begins at 6pm, continues late into the night and, best of all, is entirely free!
On Saturday these are our top picks.
From 11am-12pm top baker and Great British Bake Off judge Mary Berry will be speaking at the Forum about her life in cookery. Included with a ticket to this event is a copy of Mary's new book, Mary Berry Everyday, and the first 300 people to book tickets will receive a pre-signed copy, so booking early is a must for Mary fans!
Shortly afterwards from 1pm – 2pm, also at The Forum, top authors Tessa Hadley, Adam O'Riordan and Petina Gappah will be discussing what makes short stories so exciting to write and so rewarding to read. This is a great event for any aspiring authors out there.
As for Saturday evening…we couldn't choose. What will be your must-see event will really depend on whether you're a jazz, classical, or Bob Dylan fan.
On Sunday our top pick is the Writing Crime workshop at The Igloo. Starting at 12pm, the three-hour workshop with crime writers Mel McGrath and Erin Kelly will "show you how to create believable characters, start your story with a bang and keep it burning. Expect taught segments and exercises."
A special mention also has to go to the event taking place at the Assembly Rooms from 3pm-4pm however. Author Ali Smith whose novel How to be both won the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction, the Goldsmiths Prize and the Costa Novel Award. At this event she'll be talking about her latest best-seller, Autumn, written last summer as global and national events unfolded. It has been described as "unbearably moving, shrewd and dreamy, playful, strange" and an "assessment of what it means to be alive" by the New York Times.
If you're planning on coming to any of these events then we encourage early booking though, as we know from experience how fast Bath Festival events book up!

It's 1967. Half-a-million U.S. soldiers are fighting in Vietnam. On the heels of your world-beating single "Like a Rolling Stone," which you follow with the stellar album Blonde on Blonde and seal your legacy as the world's preeminent folk-rock songwriter, you crash your motorcycle and subsequently retreat from the spotlight. Meanwhile the hippie scene takes off in San Francisco, spawning a wave of psychedelic acts that praise your own surrealist lyrics as part of their charge to disrupt the status-quo and open new doors of reality. Having recovered from your accident, what's your next move?
If you're Bob Dylan, you put out John Wesley Harding, a folksy, mellow album packed with fables and morals, archaic syntax and characters divorced from modernity altogether. The elaborate soundscapes have given way to spare acoustic instrumentation. The wry, hallucinatory gusts of alliterative verses and dreamlike glimpses of storyline have laid down before spare, coy storytelling. The title character is a "friend to the poor" who "travelled with a gun / in every hand." Townsfolk attempt to level charges against John Wesley Harding, but because of his kind reputation, none of them stick. Even so, Dylan refrains from saying anything too specific.
Another historical figure, Tom Paine, appears in "As I Went Out One Morning." The speaker here encounters a girl who offers to run away with him until "Tom Paine himself / Came running from across the field," dissolving the hazy situation.
These songs, in their allegorical natures, bring to mind Dylan reclined and daydreaming his way through a folk-bound history, then sitting up and trying to recount his reveries with some semblance of coherence. The language, torn from these historical realms, often feels old-fashioned, biblical, stiff. The third verse in "As I Went Out One Morning" goes,
'Depart from me this moment'
I told her with my voice
Said she, 'But I don't wish to'
Said I, 'But you have no choice'
Each line here seems three removes from contemporary. Whereas Dylan cried, "get out of here!" two albums earlier on "Desolation Row," we now have "depart from me." In the next line, when the speaker tells her "with his voice," I wonder, as opposed to what? His ears? And for the last two lines, why not, "She said, 'I don't wanna' / I said, 'You got no choice'"? The latter feels imminently more natural, less wooden.
In "All Along the Watchtower," the language again seems affected, Elizabethan. "The wildcat did growl / two riders were approaching / the wind began to howl." So a wildcat growled, two riders approached, and the wind howled. One could argue streamlining the language of these phrases strips the album's voice of its grand sense of poetry and history, but I disagree. Maintaining the archaic syntax only makes it odd to our ears.
And then the morals start pouring in. "The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest" concludes with a lesson and an instruction. The first, "one should never be / Where one does not belong." The second, "don't go mistaking Paradise / for that home across the road." These wisdoms approaching proverbs lack real substance, forgo actual meaning. When will I know I'm not where I belong? And how might I distinguish Paradise from a neighbor's home? Vacant of useful insight, these lines become bromides dragging the stories down.
I get that close analysis of lyrics is unfair, because lyrics and the music they accompany—not to mention the performer and the context within which they're performed—all braid together as a unified entity (a song). But when delineating greatness, I look for excellence on every level. Lyrical weakness is a real weakness. Dylan doesn't get a pass because he's our supposed rock-and-roll bard.
Two nights ago Al Kooper sent me another message. In it, he said, "I think [Bob Dylan] is the musical equivalent of Shakespeare." Kooper might be right. History might shine on Dylan so fondly; Dylan's oeuvre has a better chance of standing up to centuries of critical scrutiny than maybe any other contemporary pop-music artist. But even Shakespeare had his duds. It's no sin to say it.
Dylan's return to his roots here lacks the political firepower he once possessed. But he's still moving forward. "All Along the Watchtower" would become an acidified counter-culture anthem after all. Do I get "John Wesley Harding"? On some levels yes, on some levels, maybe not. Do I need to listen to the previous albums to get it? I just want to know why he chose such vague stories and archaic language. Do I like it? It's not his best.

Rock and roll oldies, heavy on the '70's. A bit of classical.
#19 What was the last book you read?
"The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon" by David Grann.Kind of disappointed me, as they never really definitively discovered what happened to the British explorer, Percy Fawcett, who was lost in 1925. I thought it was interesting, especially when the differences between the Amazon now and back in 1925 were described. Like a different world. So, not only was the City of Z lost, but the Amazon is being lost to progress.

The Last 20 Days' Editorials
2/18/2019 "The Black Economy 50 Years After The March On Washington"
An Open Letter To The Seattle, Washington D.C. and Quebec Protesters Re: Your Worldview and Strategy
We were and are sympathetic to your objective of ending the exploitation, oppression and poverty experienced by many in the economically developing world and we respect your efforts, through your protests of the World Trade Organization (WTO), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA), respectively, to bring attention to the real and potential evils of these international and multilateral institutions. But having become familiar with your movement over the past two years, while admitting to the sincerity of heart in many of you, we also recognize several flaws in the case that you are making. In order to win the debate with the " free-trade globalists", you will have to strengthen your arguments on three issues: capital, currencies and patents/intellectual property.Capital. Because so many of you have only dabbled with a study of Karl Marx and have been influenced by socialist academics and activists you have a knee-jerk reaction to capitalism. In many respects that is good but in some others it causes you to see demons where there are none and even worse, to misinterpret economic principles as exploitative tools in the hands of multinational corporations. Far from the opinion of many in your enthusiastic ranks, every human being has "capital". We are all born with talents, skills and interests. Or as Nation Of Islam leader The Honorable Elijah Muhammad one day told his Minister Jabril Muhammad, of Phoenix, Az., in response to a question, " Allah has given us all many talents, but each a talent that we can perform perfectly." Look deep into the word talent and you will see that it has, throughout history, been inextricably linked to trade and exchange. It is the commercialization of talent that is the base of every economy. Every human being has intellectual and physical capital. And it is this intellectual and physical capital, in the form of talents, skills and the ability to perform work that gives human beings value in the marketplace. Far too often, we hear the protesters speak of capital only in terms of finance and machinery owned by wealthy elites, and used to replace manual laborers. This is true and Karl Marx foresaw this and wrote about it. Sure, paper money and machinery are forms of capital but they are forms that grow out of the minds of human beings exercising their divine capital. What has made for poverty in the developing countries, in part, is the lack of education, the underdevelopment of markets and government created barriers and burdens in many instances. It is education, of course, which draws out of the human being what talent(s) lies within the human being. It is education that effectively nurtures the human being according to their talents, skills and interests, and which seeks to help the individual "perfect" their talent. Commerce in a fair and developed marketplace where human beings are allowed to commercialize their talents or novelties, and where government regulations and taxes on production are not excessive is absolutely necessary for human beings to create wealth. Ironically, it is in the economically developing nations that you are seeking to help, where education is not what it should be and where the most barriers to starting businesses and bringing talents to market take place. Economist Steve Hanke recently wrote about this in his Forbes column. It is unfortunate that the greatest government costs and barriers to entrepreneurial development and marketplace entry exist in countries that have the least economic development and growth. This scenario is not caused by the globalization and multinational corporations that you are protesting against. Your efforts have to be more supportive of the implementation of sound economic principles in side of developing nations. You have to recognize that these developing countries have capital sources of their own, in abundance. In a sense, you are unintentional imperialists with your emphasis on the West's stranglehold on "capital". You give them too much power with that view. Currencies. It has always struck and even amazed us how woefully unaware many of the protesters are of the impact of monetary policy on trade. In our discussions with various members of your movement - people who attended all three protests - we were surprised to hear virtually no recognition of how Federal Reserve monetary policy and currency devaluations are responsible for poverty throughout the world. This is even more ironic considering the amount of time and thought that Karl Marx spent on commodities and currencies in his epic work, " Das Kapital". We have spent considerable energy and time reviewing Volume 1 of "Capital", and were impressed by his attention and understanding of how important it was for a society to have a clearly defined unit of account by which a community could fairly measure its labor, regardless to the profession. Marx recognized that the commodity gold was best suited for this purpose. While many of you have gobbled up the Communist Manifesto few of you have even attempted to pour through "Capital" and because of that, you are missing possibly the most brilliant of all of Marx's insights - that a gold "standard' was the means by which laborers of various stations could become equal. To Marx, a currency was not just "money" in a superficial sense, it was a measurement by which all forms of labor could be evaluated and exchanged in the marketplace. There can be no fair trade policy if there is no stable unit of account or medium of exchange. Inflation and deflation, which only occur when the monetary standard is allowed to fluctuate, are the premier sources of inequality in economic trade today. It is always interesting to hear protesters rail against NAFTA and yet remain silent on the Mexican peso devaluation of 1994. It also is interesting to see that the majority of IMF protesters are more concerned about getting the multilateral institution to recognize labor and environment standards than they are in getting the IMF to stop encouraging currency devaluations around the world, like they most recently did in the African nation of Zimbabwe. Lastly, your movement against "free-trade" has to include a critique and understanding of the impact that Federal Reserve monetary policy has on international trade. I recently told a group of socialists that it was not NAFTA or the WTO who were most responsible for the recent drop in commodity prices worldwide. It was the Federal Reserve, which allowed the price of gold to fall from over $400 an ounce in 1996 to below $260 an ounce in a year. A drop in the gold price signals a coming commodity deflation which drags down the prices of farm commodities and metals which the developing world depends upon and trades in the international marketplace. Trade agreements are lightweights compared to the damage the Federal Reserve can do. We have for years, been perplexed by how much attention your movement gives to trade policy and multinational corporations and how little you give monetary policy and central banks. Patents/Intellectual Property. It is in this area, next to monetary policy, that your movement is operating the most behind the curve. This is most visibly evident in your effort to get the multinational pharmaceutical companies to lower the price of AIDS drugs throughout the world but especially in Africa. While you think that you are doing the right thing and that you even are "winning" in your efforts, it becomes more obvious, with each passing day, that your lack of knowledge regarding the war for intellectual property rights and patent protection is being used against you. Many of those in your movement are totally unaware that the Western countries and the multi-nationals are not really that concerned about profits from HIV drugs in Africa or in other parts of the developing world. They are mostly concerned with gaining intellectual property right concessions in Africa and the developing world and with the imposing of Western patent laws onto Africa and the developing world before those countries begin to provide patents to local companies and innovators. The West knows that the developing world is not properly rewarding and protecting innovation in their countries. Western governments and the multinationals also do not want the growth of productive industrial capacity to take place in the economically developing world. So, while you think that you have won by getting these drug companies to slash the prices of their HIV drug cocktails, you really have only helped these corporations grow in strength. How? Because you have ensured that it will be their cheap drugs that are purchased by African governments and not the drugs of generic companies in Brazil or India or Cuba. Some of you are even pushing for a plan developed by Harvard Professor Jeffrey Sachs which would have western governments set aside as much as $5 billion for the purchase of AIDS drugs worldwide. But guess from whom the drugs will be purchased? The same multinational corporations that you claim to be at war against. They will be the beneficiaries of the billions of dollars of Western "aid" that your lobbying efforts will help to generate. Your efforts to make HIV/AIDS drugs cheaper will not only wipe out the generic drug companies in the developing world and the industrial productive capacity that they represent, but they also ensure billions in profits to drug companies that prior to your efforts, had no business in Africa. Furthermore, the lower prices that you are demanding on behalf of Africa are still too high for Africans to afford, so you will be helping multinationals gain profits for products that may not even be delivered. And the gains are not just monetary in nature. By not fighting for the interests of generic companies and compulsory licensing you strengthen the effort of the developing world to have its patent regimes become the law of land in the economically developing world. And by the way, you also help to kill the herbal and alternative medicine industry/community that produces medicines that do things that the HIV/AIDS cocktails can't and that are found on land controlled by the indigenous populations in the developing world. In the Amazon and in Africa there are medicinal herbs and plants that don't grow elsewhere. The West wants to find them and get patent rights on them and their byproducts. Your sincerity and ignorance is being used against you. There is an intellectual property world war going on surrounding the WTO's TRIPS provisions and almost all of you seem unaware of how your actions actually have you on the side of the multinational corporations. There is no doubt that you all possess the necessary enthusiasm, sincerity and organization to not only stop the deleterious aspects of globalism and not so "free trade, but also to place elected officials in office at the local, state and federal level. But you must match those attributes with an analysis that allows you to discern economic principles from the tools of the oppressor; Karl Marx's critique from the rhetoric of uninformed communists and socialists; and finally, you need an understanding that allows you to parse the details and nuances of good-sounding plans that in reality, are fronts for the expansion of corporate power. If you were to do that, we believe your movement would sweep across this country.Remember, organized wickedness is much more powerful than disorganized sincerity.

Anticipation is building that President Obama will propose a significant new investment in early education in his State of the Union address. There are many big issues to be addressed, and young children always seem to be considered a small issue so it would make a real statement if the President chose to mention them. There are two good reasons to do so. First, new investments in young children make sense from a purely economic perspective—high-quality early education increases long-term productivity and economic growth and reduces inequality.

Sony MHS-FS3 3D Bloggie - Discounted, Discontinued and Disappointing
When I was researching this camera, deciding whether it was worth buying, I found it impossible to find any raw unconverted sample clips that had been produced by this camera. There were a few videos on youtube, but as we all know, these aren't an accurate representation of the true video quality.
Everything I did manage to view though looked absolutely terrible. Washed out, shakey and blurry. Well it turns out that this was in fact an accurate representation of this camera's capabilities after all. There are a few reasons as to why this is the case. First off, the 3D video is 1080p AVC MP4 Half SBS, which means that each eye gets allocated half of the 1080p frame - this results in softer video than normal 2D 1080p. This would be forgivable, if it wasn't for the camera's achilles heel.
This camera deactivates image stabilisation when it is recording in 3D mode. A camera this small relies heavily upon image stabilisation to prevent the footage degenerating into a shaky mess. This is probably even more important when recording in 3D mode. The final problem with this camera is that its lenses are far too close together to capture a proper sense of depth. I really don't know what Sony was thinking here, but the effects of having the lenses next to each other like this, is that anything more than a few feet in front of the camera ends up on the same visual plane. Untimately it becomes very difficult to spot that the 3D footage is actually 3D. It just ends up looking odd. The 3D effect produced by this camera is to 3D what virtual surround is to Dolby 7.1. You can tell something different is supposed to be happening, but you can't quite put your finger on what it is.
So in effect we have a 3D camera that takes soft, shaky, flat 3D video. I can see why Sony discountinued this one very quicky and liquidated all existing stocks through heavy discounting. I just can't understand why they went ahead and brought it out in the first place. However if you want a pocket camera that records reasonable 1080p video then this isn't a bad camera. Just make sure you keep the 3D mode switched off at all times.
You may have noticed from file dates in the video that a lot of the work on this 'review' was done in March 2012. I sold the camera on ebay and moved on to other things. I've only just managed to return to this and finish it off over this bank holiday weekend. This explains why I didn't go as indepth as normal on this review, and it is why I will find it difficult to answer any questions about this camera.
The main reason I decided to go back and finish this video is so that there is a bit of context to the sample clips that I wanted people to have the opportunity to download and see for themselves. One other reason is that I could finally delete the video files off my laptop to free up some space.
Below is a link to the sample clips. All of these are straight from the camera and uploaded to Mediafire. All video clips are unedited and in AVC MP4 format. The 3D video is SBS 1080p.

The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is a 2017 musical with music and lyrics by Rob Rokicki, and a playbook by Joe Tracz. Based on the 2005 fantasy-adventure novel of the same name by Rick Riordan, the musical follows Percy Jackson, a 12-year-old who newly discovers that he is a demigod and goes on an epic quest to find Zeus' missing lightning bolt and prevent a war between the Greek gods.
After it was introduced in New York City by Theatreworks USA in 2014 as a one-hour musical, part of its free theatre series, and went into a national tour, it was announced on January 10, 2017 that a new version would be produced, with a new score and an updated, expanded script. The musical would have a limited run, with performances beginning on March 23, an opening set for April 4 and a last performance on May 6 on the Lucille Lortel Theatre.
The Show announced its National Tour, set to debut in Chicago in 2019, on April 17 2018.
Act 1
Percy Jackson, a teenager with ADHD and dyslexia, is on a field trip to the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. While there, his substitute pre-algebra teacher, Mrs. Dodds, asks to speak with him. Once alone, Mrs. Dodds transforms into a Fury, a mythological Greek demon of Hades. Thanks to a pen that transforms into a sword named Riptide, thrown to Percy by his Latin teacher, Mr. Brunner, Percy manages to fend off and vaporize Mrs. Dodds. After this incident, Percy is expelled from his school due to him failing to stay with the group, and him already being on probation. When Percy tries to explain what happened, he is shocked to find that neither Mr. Brunner or his best friend, Grover Underwood remember Mrs. Dodds, nor does anyone else ("Prologue / The Day I Got Expelled"). Percy says goodbye to them, and heads home for summer vacation.
Back at his apartment, his mother, Sally seems to understand and even forgive Percy's expulsion, while her boyfriend, Gabe, does not. Gabe inadvertently bullies Percy, and Sally confesses she needs to tell him about his father, who left before Percy was born. Percy, extremely bitter about his father and upset with himself for being expelled yet again, laments on his actions, being increasingly hard upon himself. Sally assures Percy the quirks and abnormalities of someone is what makes them special ("Strong"). Sally takes Percy to the beach where she met Percy's father, and the two run into Grover. Shockingly for Percy, Grover turns out to actually be a satyr, a Greek, goat-like protector.
Suddenly, a Minotaur [half-bull, half-man] attacks the trio. Sally sacrifices herself so that Percy and Grover can make it to a place she calls "camp". The Minotaur kills Sally right before Percy's eyes who, in vengeance of his mother, finishes him off. Percy is kicked in the head and falls unconscious, where he dreams of a man in a Hawaiian shirt, who gives him a seashell, claiming, "What belongs to the sea can always return" ("The Minotaur / The Weirdest Dream").
When Percy awakes, he finds himself in a place called Camp Half-Blood. The shell the strange man in his dream gifted him remains in his pocket. The camp director, Mr. D, who is actually Dionysus, God of Wine and Madness, reluctantly explains to Percy that he is a demigod, son of a human and a Greek god ("Another Terrible Day"). Mr. Brunner, who is really Chiron, an immortal Centaur, is also at the camp, and explains to Percy that the gods will send a sign to claim him. However, Percy is still skeptic and angry that his father has shown no sign of care for him all these years. Luke Castellan, a nineteen-year-old son of Hermes sympathises with Percy, telling him that lots of half-bloods never know their godly parents, as they are not claimed ("Their Sign").
Percy settles in and meets several other campers such as, Silena Beauregard [daughter of Aphrodite] Katie Gardner [daughter of Demeter], Clarisse La Rue [daughter of Ares, who takes an immediate disliking to Percy] and Annabeth Chase [Daughter of Athena, took care of Percy while he was unconscious]. Annabeth quickly takes the helm of the leader during a game of capture the flag, instructing Percy to sit and wait in the boys' bathroom to assure he won't "mess things up". Clarisse singles him out and tries to "pulverize" him, but the toilets unexpectedly burst to life, dousing Clarisse ("Put You in Your Place"). After things settle down, the campers, bar Clarisse, join around the campfire and vent about their unsteady, and in some cases harmful, relationships with both their godly and mortal parents ("Campfire Song").
Percy is claimed as the son of Poseidon, god of the sea, and it is at once rumored that Zeus' lightning bolt had been stolen and Percy is the number one suspect. Percy is told he and two others must go on a quest to retrieve the bolt, to prevent a war between the gods. He is also sent to receive a prophecy from the Oracle of Delphi ("The Oracle"). However, Percy has only accepted the quest because Luke hinted that his mom would be in the underworld, the target location of the search, since Hades is the rumored real thief. Annabeth and Grover force themselves into the quest, and after a pair of winged shoes is given to them from Luke, the three are pushed into the woods with little care and protection ("Killer Quest!").
Act 2
The three questers have just escaped a bus, attacked by the three Furies. Just after blowing it up, they become hopelessly lost ("Lost!"). In a frantic decision, Percy suggests they should enter "Auntie Em's Emporium." The strange Auntie Em requests to take pictures of the three, but is revealed to actually be Medusa. Percy cuts off her head with his pen sword, Riptide, and, as a joke, sends the head to the gods over the mail. Annabeth seems particularly upset with this run in, so while Grover scouts out their surroundings, Percy confronts her about this. She confesses that for her whole life she has been ignored by everyone around her, and is desperate for a chance to prove herself to Athena, her mother and make the history books ("My Grand Plan").
Grover returns with train tickets to St. Louis and they set off, encounter many dangers, such as a Chimera, nasty storms, some dam snacks and the Lotus Hotel and Casino. They also meet up with Ares, who gives them a lift to Nevada ("Drive"). While on a bus ride to Los Angeles, Percy has a dream of a man speaking with someone who is referred to as Lord: the powerful voice mentions sacrifices and brings up a name, Thalia ("The Weirdest Dream [Reprise]"). Percy wakes with a jolt and asks Grover if he has ever heard of someone named Thalia. Grover confides that a few years back he was sent to escort Luke, Annabeth and Thalia Grace, Zeus's daughter, to camp. However, the team was attacked, and Grover failed to save Thalia, who ended up sacrificing herself, and being turned into the tree that protects the boarders of Camp Half-Blood. He holds himself responsible, and thinks Percy will be ashamed of him ("The Tree on the Hill"). Percy assures Grover that no matter who he is or what he does, Percy will always want him as a friend.
The trio arrive in the underworld where they are given a tour of the horror by Charon and several long dead musicians ("D.O.A."). Percy realizes that the Lightning Bolt is hidden in his backpack, and the three work out the possibilities of how it could have gotten there. An incident where Percy is nearly dragged into Tartarus by the shoes Luke gave him occurs and the group is discovered. After a brief conversation with an innocent Hades, Percy withdraws the shell from his pocket and blows it, realizing it was from Poseidon, and open a portal out of the underworld. Vowing to return to save his mom, Percy, Annabeth and Grover escape. Percy hypothesizes that Ares is the one who planted the bolt in his bag and comes to terms with both himself and Poseidon declaring himself a son of Poseidon, and uses his gift with water and the help of Annabeth and Grover to best Ares ("Son of Poseidon").
The questers return to camp heroes, but Percy couldn't be more troubled. He confides in Luke that he feels just as confused as before, and Luke agrees, stating he felt similar after his own quest. Luke inadvertently tells Percy that he is the true lightning thief and that he has teamed up with Kronos to get back at the gods, who he feels has done him wrong ("The Last Day of Summer"). Luke stabs Percy and escapes. Percy declares that there will be a war no matter how they try to stall it, but he and his friends will be prepared and do whatever it takes to fight it ("Bring on the Monsters").

The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical has received positive reviews from critics. Fern Siegel, for The Huffington Post, praised the musical for its dialogue, story and cast, calling it "a reminder that Off-Broadway is an important venue for musicals", while Raven Snook, for Time Out, describe it as "worthy of the gods".Frank Scheck, in reviewing the production for The Hollywood Reporter, wrote that the musical "proves far more enjoyable than the misbegotten 2010 film version or its 2013 sequel" and "also provides an excellent if irreverent introduction to Greek mythology that just might persuade some kids to dig deeper."

|It's one of those days - rain is coming and
napping seems the best course to take
Happy Thursday EveryPuggy! Thanks for all the lovely comments on my photo yesterday. However, no one commented on my SMILE! I was so happy in that picture because I was sitting between my TWO MOMMYS! Yes. Mommy #1 was home from university for Aunt T's birthday lunch. So I got to spend time with both Mommy #1 and Mommy #2 AT THE SAME TIME. What a treat. I could not contain my glee and so that is why I was smiling.
My cheeks hurt from all of the smiling.
On to the TOPIC OF THE DAY - my LATEST Chewy.com adventure. And I do mean adVENTURE because this has been one for the funny papers. It all started with an email from Chewy.com asking if I would be interested in reviewing a special item this month. The item in question is one of those slow feeder bowl thingies that slow FAST eaters (Me) down while entertaining their minds. I was all "No! No! No! I like to scarf down eatables!" I reminded Mommy that I had done those bowls in the past and they just do not work for SHORT SNOUTED puggirls. She agreed with me and then GUESS WHAT? She said YES!
Yes! I could not believe my velvety ears. Why in Pugnation would she say yes to something she KNOWS is doomed to fail. Well, she explained. . . two reasons
- Who can say NO to Ms Natalie of Chewy.com
- Who better to test a feeder bowl than the one expected to fail? It will be a true test (unlike the Gen7Pets Carry Me Sleeper which I knew I'd love)!
The bowl Ms. Natalie was talking about is the Outward Hound Fun Feeder. It comes in two sizes (Small for small breed dogs and Large for the bigger breeds) and three colors. Each color has a different design which indicates the level of difficulty for the dog to remove the food. The one I chose (do we ever really choose???) is the PURPLE one and it has the lowest degree of difficulty. It has a pretty FLOWER pattern. You will see it below. The other two are TEAL which is medium difficulty and ORANGE which is the toughest to navigate. The depths of the grooves are about 1 inch.
So we said yes and in a short amount of time it arrived at our door. I was so excited to see the Chewy.com box that I acted like my usual Banshee (Ever hear a pug scream? Very Banshee-like). Until Mommy pulled out the. . . BOWL?
Never one to give up, Mommy and I discussed the bowl and possibilities (giving it to Molly who was cool to the idea after a couple of treats; keep it for Sunshine who was like Molly; or give it to our FURiend Tiny who already eats too slowly) until we finally decided to keep trying to LIKE it.
So Mommy came up with another PLAN -
Well that was a BUST, I daresay. I was pretty mad that THEY could get treats and I couldn't. So Mommy kinda overcompensated by putting an equal number of treats (they each managed to get 2 before Mommy picked up the bowl) on the floor near my PRONE but wiggly pug body (yes, I was having a tantrum).
But Cousin E had an idea. The next day she put treats in the bowl and sat with me, plying me with treats, and showed me HOW TO LIFT a treat out of the bowl. And if I did, I was given ANOTHER TREAT!. And you know what? I eventually was able to get some treats out of the bowl!!!!
So NOW I am successfully able to get large treats out of the dish. Like almost peaking over the edge large pieces. Anything smaller is out of my ability to get. Not having a snout is a real issue with this BOWL. And I have a petite tongue as well. Perhaps short shouts but long tongues would work. But I am just speculating. It is kind of case by case.
That said, the quality of the bowl is amazing. It is solid and heavy - none of that cheap Dollar Tree type plastic bowls (Don't get me wrong - those cheap plastic bowls have saved me more than once so they have their uses. . . but not day to day). And the bowl has enough weight that it does not shift around the floor constantly thus preventing me EVEN FURTHER!
So we give the Outward Hound Fun Feeder 7 out of 12 PAWS up for us. It just is too hard for a PUG PRINCESS to have to work so much for a treat. And the interest level of the other two was minimal.
**Thank you Chewy.com for providing us with the Outward Hound Fun Feeder free of charge so we could try it out and review it. All opinions in this blog are mine along and I do not get paid for any of it.

I cannot imagine a finer pan for cooking. The stainless steel removes any concern of using the wrong tool when removing or stirring food. This enables you to concentrate on cooking and not protecting the panäó»s surface. The thick copper provides a controllable heat transfer to a full range of specific degrees. These pans will last forever.

I love the sunshine!
Today in class we talked about character development. We talked about it from the story, "What Are You Anyways?" We looked at the protagonist, Carol. The story is on one of my former blog pages.
Next you were to look at your protagonist and either the whole scene of your story or a small moment in your story. Then you were to in your writing notebook jot info. about your protagonist.
Use this to guide you:
Character Development
Here are some ideas to consider:
Brainstorm a great small moment with places, events, issues, and struggles.
Make your character come alive; Generate traits, reveal wants and challenges, consider character's attitude toward self and others, explore relationships with others, describe movements, facial expressions, style, quirks, physical traits, motivations, inner thoughts, changes over time, dialogue, decisions made, feelings felt and etc.
Tomorrow we will begin to put what you have jotted down into your story. I also put this on your Google Classroom for your reference.
Have a great evening,
Mrs. Downs
