The godfather of "fake news", helping Americans identify "fake news". You can't make this up…
On September 21, 2004, CBS News was forced to apologize for a "mistake in judgment" in its story questioning President Bush's National Guard service, claiming it was misled by the source of documents that several experts have dismissed as fakes.
The network said it would appoint an independent panel to look at its reporting about the memos. The story has mushroomed into a major media scandal, threatening the reputations of CBS News and chief anchor Dan Rather.
It also has become an issue in the presidential campaign. The White House said the affair raises questions about the connections between CBS's source, retired Texas National Guard officer Bill Burkett, and Democrat John Kerry's campaign.
Rather joined CBS News President Andrew Heyward in issuing an apology Monday.
"We made a mistake in judgment, and for that I am sorry," Rather said. "It was an error that was made, however, in good faith and in the spirit of trying to carry on a CBS News tradition of investigative reporting without fear or favoritism."

Almost immediately after the story aired Sept. 8, document experts questioned memos purportedly written by Bush's late squadron leader, Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian, saying they appeared to have been created on a computer and not on the kind of typewriter in use during the 1970s.
Source admits fabrication
CBS strongly defended its story. It wasn't until a week later — after Killian's former secretary said she believed the memos were fake — that the news division admitted they were questionable.
Burkett admitted this weekend to CBS that he lied about obtaining the documents from another former National Guard member, the network said. CBS hasn't been able to conclusively tell how he got them, or even definitely tell whether they're fakes or not. But the network has given up trying to defend them.
"Based on what we now know, CBS News cannot prove that the documents are authentic, which is the only acceptable journalistic standard to justify using them in the report," Heyward said. "We should not have used them."
CBS said it approached Burkett initially about the documents. Rather said Burkett was well known in National Guard circles for several years for trying to discredit Bush's military record.
Burkett, in an interview with Rather aired on the "CBS Evening News," said he was pressured by CBS to reveal his source for the documents, and "I simply threw out a name that was basically, I guess, to get a little pressure off for the moment."
Fast forward 14 years…
"The Young Turks" recently hired the original fake news mainstream media anchor, Dan Rather, to be featured in a weekly 30-minute broadcast on their hardcore leftist network. This week, they produced a doozy when they actually created a video of the disgraced former CBS news anchor explaining to their viewers how to go about identifying "fake news".

Here are just a few of the responses to Rather's rather hilarious "guide to protecting yourself against fake news":
The first is from "Michael", who pretty much summed up the insanity of Rather's guide to "fake news" by simply tweeting: "Pot, meet kettle."
Pot, meet kettle.
— Michael | Method Leadership (@MethodLead) April 4, 2018
"ImATexanNotABot" reminded the former CBS host why he was fired in this tweet: "You were fired for reporting fake news, your opinions are for shit!"
"Sen. John Blutarsky" took it a step further with his tweet, reminding everyone exactly how Dan Rather attempted to destroy the credibility of a sitting President, simply because he had the audacity to have a political ideology that was in opposition to the leftist mainstream media's. "Sen. John Blutarsky" tweeted: "Kinda like when someone uses a Microsoft word processor to mimic a 1960's IBM typewriter? That kinda fake news?"

— Sen. John Blutarsky (T) (@Mongotrucker) April 4, 2018
This Twitter user slammed The Young Turks for running the ironic video: "honestly, how tone-deaf do you have to be to run with this and not expect to be dragged unmercifully for it?"

— Lowell George Washington (@deanriehm) April 4, 2018
Finally, this Twitter user thanked The Young Turks for "today's daily dose of Orwellian thinking": "He lost his job for faking news. Thank you for today's daily dose of Orwellian thinking."
In January 2018, #VeryFakeNewsCNN (who was given the well-deserved name by then-candidate Donald Trump) reported on Rather's new show on the progressive network, quoting Rather, who ironically claimed the purpose of his show was to counter Donald Trump and to defend people in the news who are being accused of peddling "fake news".
The 86-year-old veteran newsman told CNN that President Trump's attacks on the press and political norms helped motivate him to launch the new show.
"I feel strongly that when you have a president who is continually, relentlessly damning the press, individuals by name, individual institutions and calling the press the enemy of the people — listen, this has to be resisted," he said.
Rather added, "This is a time when everybody needs to be counted. I don't want to be preachy about it, but we have a real responsibility, those of us in journalism and those of us who have experience in journalism, to do what we can. … These efforts to convince the public that people in the news are dealing in fake news is quite frankly bullshit."

Elevated Production of Inflammatory Mediators in Patients With Neck Pain
Julita Teodorczyk-Injeyan, PhD, et al.
Objective: This study investigated whether the production of inflammatory mediators and chemotactic cytokines (chemokines) is altered in patients with chronic and recurrent neck pain (NP).
Methods: Cross-sectional data evaluating blood and serum samples were obtained from 27 NP patients and 13 asymptomatic (control) subjects recruited from a chiropractic outpatient clinic. Cell cultures were activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and phytoheamagglutinin for 24 to 48 hours. The levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), monocyte chemotactic protein 1, also known as CCL2 (CCL2/MCP-1), and macrophage inflammatory protein 1α or CCL3 (CCL3/MIP-1α) were determined by specific immunoassays. Serum levels of nitric oxide metabolites were evaluated simultaneously, in vanadium III-reduced samples, by Griess reaction.
Results: Low levels of constitutive (spontaneous) TNF-α production were present in seven of the 27 cultures from patients with NP. Both LPS-induced TNF-α production and inducer (LPS/phytoheamagglutin)-stimulated production of CCL2 were significantly elevated (P = .00) in patients compared with controls. In patients, the constitutive synthesis of CCL3 occurred significantly more frequently (P = .00) and ranged from 30 to more than 2,000 pg/mL. Finally, serum levels of nitric oxide were significantly elevated (P = .00) in NP patients.
Conclusions: Production of inflammatory mediators was consistently elevated in NP patients in this study, both in vitro and in vivo, and activation of inflammatory pathways was accompanied by up-regulation of CC chemokine synthesis. This suggests that, in NP patients, CC chemokines may be involved in regulation of local inflammatory response through recruitment of immune cells to the inflamed tissue and exert pronociceptive effects.
Self-Rated Disability, Fear Avoidance and Nonorganic Signs in Whiplash Patients
Howard Vernon, PhD, et al.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the role of standard and novel (cervical) nonorganic signs in patients with chronic whiplash-associated disorder (WAD).
Methods: Chronic WAD I to III patients (>3 months) were recruited from private chiropractic practice in Canada. Subjects completed a Neck Disability Index (NDI), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), pain visual analog scale, and pain diagram. Clinical and demographic data were also obtained. Nine standard nonorganic pain behavior tests and four novel cervical nonorganic simulation signs (C-NOSS) tests were applied. Bivariate correlations were obtained with the Pearson correlation coefficient. Items achieving statistical significance on univariate analysis were loaded in a sequential linear regression analysis. Post hoc analyses were conducted with analysis of variance tests of NDI and TSK scores.
Results: Ninety-one subjects were investigated (49 males and 42 females), with a mean age of 41.7 (SD, 14.7) years and a mean WAD duration of 9.4 (SD, 11.2) months. Because mean NDI scores were 57.5 (SD, 17.8) and mean pain scores were 68.3 (SD, 21.0), this sample represents moderate-to-severe WAD. Fair to moderately strong correlations were obtained between the NDI and the TSK, pain visual analog scale and nonorganic symptoms and signs (NOS-9) and C-NOSS scores, but not with "age," "sex" or "duration." The NOS-9 and C-NOSS scores correlated most strongly at 0.70. A multivariate model accounting for 53% of the variance of the NDI scores (P < .001) was obtained with the TSK, pain severity, and NOS-9 scores. There was no significant correlation between C-NOSS and TSK scores. At least 25% of subjects scored either five of nine or two of four on the NOS-9 and C-NOSS tests, respectively.
Conclusions: Based on the findings of this study, nonorganic signs should be considered in the interpretation of self-rated disability in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic WAD.
The Neck Flexor Muscles and Chronic Neck Pain: Changes After Cervical Spine Mobilization
Fabianna Jesus-Moraleida, PT, MSc, et al.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze changes in the recruitment of the muscles longus colli (Lco) and sternocledomastoid (SCM) as measured by ultrasonography in patients with chronic neck pain before and immediately after a single cervical Maitland's posterior-anterior central mobilization technique.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional, case-control research design study. Ultrasonographic images of Lco and SCM were taken in 31 patients with chronic neck pain and matched controls during the five phases of the craniocervical flexion test before and after a Maitland's posterior-anterior central mobilization session at the cervical spine. Changes in muscle thickness during the test were calculated to infer muscle recruitment. Separate analysis of variance models for each muscle was built.
Results: Both groups showed increases in Lco and SCM recruitment between phases (F = 7.95, P < .001; F = 21.29, P < .001), with patients with chronic neck pain demonstrating lesser increases for Lco changes in thickness compared with controls, mainly at phase 5 (–0.09, P = .004; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.03-0.15). After the mobilization, Lco recruitment increased more significantly in patients with chronic neck pain, and previous difference between groups in phase 5 was no longer significant (–0.07, P = .07; 95% CI, –0.14 to 0.01). The SCM recruitment decreased in phase 1 for patients with chronic neck pain (P = .01; 95% CI, –0.06 to –0.01).
Conclusion: Cervical mobilization appeared to modulate neck muscles function by increasing deep muscle and reducing superficial muscle recruitment.
Neck Muscle Activity During Prone Hip Extension Based on Lumbar Motion Patterns
Paul Bruno, DC, PhD, et al.
Objective: The objective of the current study was to investigate whether any differences exist in the activity of the cervical erector spinae and upper trapezius (TRA) muscles between asymptomatic participants who show "normal" and "abnormal" lumbar spine motion patterns during the prone hip extension (PHE) test.
Methods: Twenty-six asymptomatic participants recruited from a chiropractic college participated in the study. Surface electromyography was used to record the activity of the cervical erector spinae and upper TRA muscles as each participant performed a set of four repetitions of PHE for each leg. An examiner observed the participant perform the movement and classified him/her as "positive" or "negative" based on the presence or absence (respectively) of one of three lumbar spine motion patterns. The mean activity levels of each muscle during the positive sets of PHE were compared with those during the negative sets.
Results: The mean activity of the upper TRA ipsilateral to the side of hip extension was significantly higher in the positive group compared with the negative group (difference, 13.3%; 95% confidence interval, 0.2%-24.4%; P = .0465). No other significant between-group differences were noted.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the presence of abnormal lumbar spine motion patterns during the PHE test may be associated with altered cervicothoracic motor control strategies in asymptomatic individuals. Similar investigations using patients with neck pain are required to comment further on the generalizability and potential clinical importance of these findings.
Lumbar Stenosis Rates in Symptomatic Patients Using Weight-Bearing and Recumbent MRI
John Gilbert, MD, et al.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of lumbar stenosis detected via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with symptomatic foraminal stenosis, lateral recess stenosis, or central stenosis.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed on 1,983 MRI scans from a two-year period on 1,486 symptomatic patients. Of these patients, 761 were scanned in the recumbent position using low-field (0.3 T, Airis II; Hitachi, Twinsburg, Ohio) MRI, and 725 were scanned in an upright sitting position using midfield (0.6 T) open Upright MRI (Fonar Corp, Melville, NY). In total, 986 serial scans (recumbent) and 997 serial scans (weight-bearing) were performed.
Results: Of scans performed in the recumbent position, stenoses were identified in 382 scans (38.8%), central stenosis in 119 scans (12%), lateral recess stenosis in 91 scans (9.2%), and foraminal stenosis in 327 scans (33.2%). Of scans performed in a weight-bearing position, stenoses were identified in 565 scans (56.7%), central stenosis in 136 scans (13.6%), lateral recess stenosis in 206 scans (20.7%), and foraminal stenosis in 524 scans (52.6%).
Conclusions: The stenosis rates as indicated by MRI interpretation ranged between 38.5% (recumbent) and 56.7% (weight-bearing). These rates are higher than those reported in the medical literature for asymptomatic patients. Further study is needed to determine whether weight-bearing, compared with recumbent, MRI better informs the clinician in the diagnosis of spinal stenosis.
A Clinical Scale for Assessing Abdominal Muscle Coordination
Rafael Pinto, PT, MSc, et al.
Objective: This study evaluated the reliability and discriminatory capacity of a novel clinical scale for assessing abdominal muscle coordination. We investigated the interrater reliability of this tool in patients with chronic low back pain (LBP) (reliability section); the ability of this tool to discriminate healthy and LBP subjects (discriminatory section); and the association between the score and measures of pain, disability, and kinesiophobia (correlation section).
Methods: For the reliability section of this study, 14 patients with chronic LBP were included. For the discriminatory section, 10 patients with chronic LBP and 10 pain-free controls were recruited. In the correlation study, data from the 10 chronic LBP patients in the discriminatory section were used. The clinical test was conducted by a blinded examiner while the subjects attempted to independently activate transversus abdominis separate from the rest of the abdominal muscles (hollowing or draw-in maneuver). The intraclass correlation coefficients, receiver operating characteristic curve, and Pearson r correlation coefficients were calculated to assess reliability and validity.
Results: An intraclass correlation coefficient(2,1) of 0.72 (95% confidence interval, 0.33-0.90) was recorded for interrater reliability. The tool correctly identified the subject condition in 97% of the cases. The score did not correlate substantially with any clinical measures, with Pearson r ranging from 0.122 (P = .737) to 0.493 (P = .148).
Conclusions: This study showed that the proposed scale is a reliable tool and may be useful in discriminating patients with chronic LBP from pain-free controls. The poor correlation between the score and clinical measures may be due to the multidimensional nature of chronic LBP.
Tests for Screening and Diagnosis of Cervical Spine Myelopathy
Chad Cook, PhD, PT, MBA, et al.
Objective: The purpose of this review was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy for screening and confirmation of clinical tests for cervical spine myelopathy, and to investigate the quality of the studies that have investigated these values.
Methods: This study was a systematic review that used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Search terms for PubMed included myelopathy; diagnosis, differential; sensitivity and specificity; and physical examination. Search terms for Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature were limited to myelopathy and sensitivity and specificity. Qualitative assessment included report of diagnostic accuracy metrics (sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative likelihood ratios) and quality scores using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool. Scores were created for single tests and clustered test findings.
Results: After evaluation, 12 full-text articles were selected, scored and tabulated. Nearly all of the 18 tests demonstrated high levels of specificity and low levels of sensitivity, suggesting that they are poor screening tools. Only one study was scored as high quality. One study involved clustering of test findings, but was considered low quality.
Conclusion: Nearly all of the clinical tests for CSM seem to be poor screening tools, which implies that manually-oriented clinicians may perform treatment methods in a situation of doubt or uncertainty. More high-quality studies are needed, and manual therapists need to be cognizant that the current clinical tests for CSM lack strong diagnostic accuracy measures that are necessary for clinical decision-making.

Know some differences between php5 and php7
- 3rd January 2017
- 0
We have been trying to make you aware of the great scope that a PHP career has to offer. However before you enroll for any training program you need to be aware of the various versions of PHP. There is no use learning something which is outdated and no longer applicable in the market.
Being in the field of PHP Training in Kolkata since long, it has always been our endeavor always to keep you up to date with the latest in the web design and PHP. As we have mentioned in our earlier blog titled " History of PHP: How it all started?" that PHP as web development language has great scope. Besides with the passage of time this very flexible open source language has got better and better. In this blog we will inform you about the differences between PHP 5 and PHP7.
The main reason why PHP7 was developed was that PHP6 never reached a stable version. Let us now look at some of these
Without a single piece of code, being changed you can get performance just by upgrading to PHP 7. You might be aware of the Facebook HVVM. This makes maximum use of the advanced level of PHP based application.
So PHPNG (PHP Next-Gen) basically started as an idea to deliver maximum performance in the way the Facebook HVVM does. This improvement source was led by ZEND to bring about speeding up of PHP based application.
Scalar Type Hints & Return Types:
Many developers would like able to declare return type for the function or method. By default PHP7 will allow developers to declare what kind of return type function is expected to return a value.
The Spaceship operator gets introduced in PHP 7
The latest version of PHP i.e PHP 7 has brought in a new spaceship operator (<= >), which is otherwise called the combined comparison operator. This will be helping in the functions of sorting and comparison. It works like strcmp() or version_compare().
There are a host of additional features
Apart from some of the changes mentioned above there are a lot of additional features which are as follows:
• Abstract Syntax Tree: – This is a big change on the core. However this will most likely to be visible to developers. It makes parsing php code easier. It also creates for an environment where fewer errors are likely. It paves the way to build better things in future.
• Closure::call () : – This new method has been added to PHP in this version. It allows variable binding at call time rather pre-binding.
• Null Coalesce Operator: – The coalesce operator or ?? has been added to the core in this version. As a result returns the first operand is exists or null.
• Uniform Variable Syntax: – The main deference of existing syntax and new syntax is to keep consistence and complete variable syntax. Allows advance expressions.
In conclusion we can say that PHP7 is a much improved version. The new version makes PHP a much more matured language. With it you as a PHP developer can build great enterprise level applications. To know more about PHP and PHP training please visit our website.

A few days ago I was greeted by a couple of these lovely birds on my short walk to town through the fields. I have to admit to not having anything near a good bird spotting knowledge, so finally today I got to looking up what they might have been. Yes – doh! They were Goldfinches. A lovely spritely pair of Goldfinches making their nest for the summer.
In my search Chicago Radio http://blogs.wfmt.com/offmic/
used this little fella to symbolize the music choice of the day reminding us it was Earth Day and linking it to classical music of the past:
"One only has to hear Vivaldi's Goldfinch Concerto from 1728, or selections from John Dowland's 16th century songbooks to know that the celebration of nature is nothing new; of course it has been central to peoples throughout the world for thousands of years. Perhaps Earth Day is best described as a return to contemplating nature."
I also decided to have a look into what they might symbolize in power animal or totem animal terms and came across this:
It may be time to bring some attention to yourself. Make yourself available to others today. They need your wisdom!-Goldfinch
If Goldfinch has flown across your path;
It is a sure sign of exuberance, liveliness and enthusiasm in your current world. They are here to remind you to enjoy life and savor each moment for the joy that is in it. Perhaps its simply time to celebrate who you are, your accomplishments or just for the sheer fun of it. You are reminded that life is for living – and that each moment you waste on sending forth negative emotions such as fear, hatred and anger are moments that are forever lost. Find joy in the now." http://spirit-animals.com/goldfinch/
This all seemed a very timely reminder, given the fact today is Earth Day, and at the core of the movement is the call back to living with the earth instead just off it; a need to reduce pollution; listen to the earth and really taking joy in the wonders of the natural world, which provides so much diversity. Recognising that it provides everything, from what we eat, our clothes to our shelter and even the materials for our technology. Sometimes at what cost too!
So how does this link with Goldfinch? Well living from a place of joy and thankfulness rather than a place of greed or anger; changes how we are towards ourselves, our neighbours and our environment. We can make different choices that bring more joy than destruction it can surely only be a good thing.
So to the words of one far wiser than me:

Face masks could soon come with COVID-19 rating labelsOctober 21, 2020Safety standard organization ASTM International is leading an effort to establish standards for reusable face coverings.
AUTHOR Kim Slowey @kimslowey
PUBLISHED Oct. 21, 2020
Most construction workers and site managers are very familiar with the personal protective equipment (PPE) that helps prevent workplace injuries to the head, eyes, respiratory system and other vulnerable areas of the body.
OSHA, the U.S. agency that mandates the use of PPE on construction projects and in other work environments across a multitude of industries, also requires employers to train workers on how to use the equipment appropriately. The agency can dish out major fines if employers don't take this important step.
So, those in the construction industry are used to seeing packaging with instructions about how to use respirators and other face coverings, even as this type of PPE has come into play in the general population as people try or protect themselves from the novel coronavirus.
The instructions available for 3M's N95 respirator, for example, offer a brief, step-by-step tutorial, complete with photos, on how to don the equipment and make sure it's sealed against the wearer's skin. The material also comes with information about which OSHA standard the respirator meets and against which contaminants it protects. The packaging itself also comes with instructions.
Not so for other types of fabric face coverings that contractors have been buying and wearing as protection against the coronavirus. Generally, it's been a free-for-all as far as the types of masks available, whether professionally manufactured or homemade. The accompanying advice on how to wear them and how well they protect the wearer varies as well.
But that could be about to change.
The PPE industry, led by safety standard organization ASTM International, is working on a standard that would specify design and performance criteria for reusable masks. The group, established in July, aims to set requirements for:
- The general construction of masks.
- How the mask is secured to and stays affixed to the user's head.
- How well masks filter out bacterial and solid particulates.
- Inhalation and exhalation breathing resistances.
- Size and fit testing.
The group is also working to establish how much of this information would be displayed on mask packaging. The standard would not supplant current mask requirements for healthcare workers nor OSHA industry standards.
There have been previous studies about how well widely available masks protect wearers from the novel coronavirus. The general findings have been that thick fabric and a tight fit make for a more effective mask regardless of whether it is handmade or store-bought.
And the ASTM's goal is in alignment with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) previous statements that masks for the general public primarily should reduce the number of particles emanating from the user but also should provide the wearer with some protection against inhalation of these particles.
Beyond just general recommendations, the ASTM working group said that a national standard that specifies mask design and performance characteristics could help provide a "level playing field" for consumers as they try to find a suitable face covering. There is no official timeline for the development of the standard.
Making sure mask manufacturers abide by some future standard and accurately identify how well their masks protect against the novel coronavirus, however, is another matter.
The ASTM does not enforce its standards. For mask producers to be held legally responsible for meeting the standard, the appropriate governmental agencies must give them weight by including them in applicable codes, laws or regulations. Then, just as with OSHA standards and consumer protection laws, mask producers could be forced to accurately report how well their products protect the public.
In the construction industry, face coverings to prevent the spread of COVID-19 are recommended and even required on most jobsites and 67% of respondents to a recent Construction Dive survey said that they are an important means of protection.

Meet Danielle Obisie-Orlu, Allegheny County's New Young Poet Laureate – PublicSource
This story was originally posted by NEXTpittsburgh, a PublicSource information partner. NEXTPittsburgh is an online publication about the people driving the region forward and the innovative and cool things that are happening here. Register to get NEXTPittsburgh for free.
When Danielle Obisie-Orlu learned that she had won the title of Allegheny County Youth Poet Laureate, her first reaction was not entirely literary.
âI was like, wait. What? "She said laughing." I was shocked. And I felt so beautifully asserted. I have always written in poetry. This is how I journal, this is how I distress. The exclamation of "what" was what a surprise, what a blessing, what a joy, what a gift, what an honor. "
Obisie-Orlu is the second Young Poet Laureate in the Allegheny County Program which began in 2020 to recognize young writers who are passionate about social issues and actively engaged in civic life. In addition to the designation, Obisie-Orlu will receive a $ 500 prize, paid performance opportunities throughout the year, entry into the regional competition for young poets laureates from the Northeast, and publication in the anthology of the National Youth Poet Laureate Network. Four other winning writers are nominated as young poet ambassadors. (Read their poems below.)
The University of Pittsburgh junior certainly ticked all the boxes. She focuses on international studies and political science, including European Union-funded research on immigration and xenophobia. She is a mentor for Global Ties and a student ambassador for the Center for European Studies. Obisie-Orlu spent the summer working as a counselor with ARYSE, an organization in Pittsburgh that supports refugee and immigrant children. She has contributed as a mentor, teaching English as a second language, and created a public speaking platform to help children tell their stories.
âThis opportunity was amazing and luckily I can work with them in different capacities throughout the year. I am really delighted to continue this relationship, âsaid Obisie-Orlu. "Honestly, I think there is a pool of compassion that we have within us and the more time you spend outside of your own little bubble, the deeper that well of compassion gets."
His âPoem for the Expatriateâ is a charming and insightful tribute to the sense of belonging and identity that immigrants struggle to find. A Nigerian-American who grew up in South Africa, Obisie-Orlu's writing and career ambitions – she plans to pursue law studies in international human rights law with a specialization in social policy – are inspired by her life as an immigrant: not quite suitable as an American, South African or Nigerian.
âI've been dealing with this for a long time,â she says. "I wanted to make sure that whatever I did there was a voice inside saying that even if you don't feel like you belong in a certain place, you belong to yourself first and you will always belong to you. -same.
âBasically it all comes from my personal experience,â says Obisie-Orlu. âWhat I do in terms of art and what I do in terms of academics is exactly the same thing. The support is just different. My personal experiences of growing up as a dark skinned black woman in South Africa and the United States have really shaped the way I hold myself. "
Obisie-Orlu hopes his research will advance the African concept of Ubuntu at an international level.
âUbuntu basically means 'I am because you are.' It's something breathtakingly beautiful, an approach to life that is about valuing each other's human dignity, âshe explains. âI want to be able to understand these endemic issues and come to a place where I can say, 'I recognize my humanity in you.' And it doesn't matter who you are. You belong to yourself. I belong to myself. We just decided to be together under these circumstances and we're going to be able to make sure the world is better. "
On September 29 at 7 p.m. Danielle Obisie-Orlu will read her poetry at a City of Asylum Jazz Poetry Festival event with musician James Brandon Lewis. RAD (Allegheny Regional Asset District) and Urban Word NYC have partnered with City of Asylum to support the Youth Poet Laureate of Allegheny County program.
Poem for the expatriate
by Danielle Obisie-Orlu
my dear heart
Hope you have found your home.
I hope the breeze from the east gently brushes your cheek
While you rest in the sunny south.
my dear heart
Hope you feel out of place.
I hope your carnivorous mind
Didn't stop telling them to eat their hearts
When they tell you to choose:
"Choose a language. A country. A name. An identity."
A dream
for the future.
A place
call home.
my dear heart
I hope you know your identity is yours
And no one can take it off.
You might feel lost in every culture you touched,
But I promise when you look inside
You will find an imprint of their footsteps.
my dear heart
You don't need to ask permission
See yourself as more than the sum of your parts.
You are not an outcast.
You are the embodiment of change.
Young poets ambassadors
colors of anger
by Phoenix Thomas
is there no happiness in anger
isn't he beautiful
to be so captivated by an emotion
that even your body can't take the consequences
isn't that wonderful
how pain can shape you
into something almost unrecognizable
Ain't it amazing how tears of pain can
dries faster than a pool of blood
then you think, "maybe the rage isn't worth it",
but my god, isn't that beautiful?
how words can paint a picture
but rage can fill a museum
and you my friend
have exhausted the space on your canvas
so you cover your hands
in the colors of anger,
and create such a great masterpiece
that not even you
can recognize your own creation.

they will know me
by Ekow Opoku Dakwa
First day of the school year –
New teachers
New students
New note
I wonderâ¦
How will they react when I open my laptop?
Or when I speak?
Or when I ask for help cutting a piece of paper?
Such simple tasks that are like mountains in my path
Thoughts go through my mind
What do they think-
As I look down and tap while they talk?
I don't write with a pen
Because these hands don't write what I ask them
When I speak, don't they really understand?
Do they mark me as lazy, incapable, incapable?
What I know is that at the end of the year they will know me
My talent, my skills, my passion, my motivation
Oh they will know me!
And they will know that this handicap does not define me
Ekow Opoku Dakwa, 15, attends Allderdice High School. He loves to read, write, program board games and participate in paratriathlons. His interest in chess led him to win the Pittsburgh City Championship for the 24 Challenge Game for his rank. He was a national ambassador for the Do The Write Thing 2020 challenge, from which his essay on youth violence and how it might affect him as a person with a disability is published in the Library of Congress. Its goal is to use writing and programming to create tools and resources for other people with disabilities.
âI think about the issues I face that people without disabilities don't even have to think about,â says Opoku Dakwa, who suffers from cerebral palsy. "Written words help me express my thoughts more easily than spoken words and allow me to put my ideas into the world."
Mind and hand, from pen to paper
by Aja Lynn
I am not the things I write.
Nor the words that come out of my mouth;
My actions and my mistakes,
Are almost indistinguishable these days.
These days I don't
Regurgitate thoughts that are not mine,
Hoping that the integrity
will always live here.
Hear the hard things
It never gets easier.
But today I will listen, and
Be careful as I should have yesterday.
I have important things to write
But I'm afraid they're not mine
Put words, say
It is a terribly vulnerable thing.
Things are big and scary,
But this world wants us to forget.
Regret has long strengthened these walls,
And I refuse to leave everything to time.
Time won't become my excuse
with words that run wild on my tongue
My handwriting is not who I am
But neither does this passivity
I'm young, so
I still have time.
I will fight with my sword, and
Take the pen.
Aja Lynn, 16, is a junior at Hampton High School. As a passionate creative writer, she appreciates the freedom that poetry affords. She is a member of her school's speech and debate team and is involved with the Drama Club, Musical Club and Writers Club.
âI am pleased to be surrounded by close friends who also have a talent for writing, an ear for the depths and a joy to share thoughts,â she says. So they are the ones I have to thank for making me more sensitive to the poetry that surrounds me and that is waiting to be written.
by Shivani Watson
I'm haunted by a girl who stepped on it
air. Even the flower fields are filled with bombs
Like comets falling from the sky to
Our house waltzes through a mountain
Ballroom. Our partner is already on fire.
My heart is a fire, living outside my body.
He cooks with me but all I taste is the
Ashes. Our family is woven by
contracts and curses. it will fray
once the shooting stars return to the sky.

She has composed and performed music in the Creative Expressions program at Carnegie Mellon University. And she was an editor and writer for her school's literary magazine.

Survival knives are versatile for small to medium tasks and they are necessary every time you decide to adventure out there. The options however can be different depending on what you prefer better such as the Junglas 2 Vs ESEE 6 that are not only pretty affordable but are reliable for various different jobs you will meet. If you are also considering these options, do check what they can offer and which of them will fit you better before deciding to pick one.
In this article, we are going to give you information about:
- How to Shop for Survival Knives
- What are Junglas 2 and ESEE 6
- What Junglas 2 and ESEE 6 Look Like
- How are the Blade of Junglas 2 and ESEE 6
- How are the Handle of Junglas 2 and ESEE 6
- How are the Performance of Junglas 2 and ESEE 6
- Junglas 2 Vs ESEE 6
Survival Knives
Being an active person means you will have to face different events out there and sometimes it is a task that requires you to use some tools. While in a professional job we are demanded to always be prepared for what's to come, the best tool when you are in the wild is what you have now as we can't be picky. Chances are you already have an idea in mind about what to bring when camping or hiking and what to bring when going to your workplace.

Sometimes a multi tool that has a small blade and a plier are what you will need to handle small jobs around while on the other hand a full size tool is what you have to bring to do a full repairing task. Not all of us will have the same type of activities so it is just normal to have different tools to bring yet, if you are here then it means you also love outdoor activities like camping.
What most people may think about a blade is the bigger it is the better and while in some cases they can be true, it is not always the case because with size we will also scarify the ability to effectively use it, moreover carrying it in your journey. In addition, it is far more difficult to work on details when the blade is too big. But, a small blade will also not be reliable and effective to sustain more stress such as batoning through a stubborn piece of wood.
While you can always rely on a folding EDC knife for small tasks such as opening packages or even cutting small branches and so on, they are not made to be your reliable partner for the heavy task and this is why looking for a full tang or fixed blade option is always better. A fixed blade won't have a joint that can be their weakness so the fix type will be a more ideal choice if you will be using them for chopping, thrusting, prying, and doing rigorous cutting.
Another factor we need to find in the survival knife is the sharp, pointed tip and while this sounds like a no-brainer, there are some models out there with angled, rounded, or hooked tips. It might come to preference but the argument is a pointy knife will have certain functions to it such as when you unfortunately meet a person with ill intention or meet a beast in the wild and need to protect yourselves. In addition, you can attach it to a stick or pole and use it to make a spear.
About Junglas 2 and ESEE 6
These are few important factors that you need to consider when looking for a survival knife and while in general what feels and fits best on your hand will be the best knife, we also want to make sure the tool is ideal for the type of application you will be using them on. In general all survival knives will be about the same to each other but they also carry some fine details that may affect your buying decision and when you are unsure, what fits more people may match you best.
Talking about survival knives, the options are abundant out there from the cheap, unreliable and suspicious looking blades to those that are crafted for the job and when it comes to the manufacturer that create reliable knives, ESEE is one you may want to shop from. This company is pretty well-known in the market or among outdoor enthusiasts for good reason and it is because they design reliable knives for your adventure. We can have different preferences but chances are, they will still carry the options.
For those who want a solid survival knife, Junglas 2 and ESEE 6 will be two amazing options you may want to consider. These are pretty famous knives among survival enthusiasts and as you can expect, they are performing really well while still being rigid for a long time. These are two different lines however, so there are some parts that differentiate them and most likely it is about design which in our opinion often falls down to what feels better for you as our taste varies.
In our opinion what set them apart is mostly on the length of the blade and styling because in general these knives are pretty much the same in terms of quality as they are made from the same material and almost similar as well in form with the Junglas 2 a bit shorter but the idea of this variant is probably because it is a step down of the older brother which is too large to be a convenient survival knife.
Junglas 2 and ESEE 6 Design
As you can see from the sample picture above, the two Junglas 2 and ESEE 6 are about the same to each other and what will separate them will be prominently about the length of the blade itself as the former is quite large in comparison. They have a similar sense of fashion but not going to be the prettiest blades in your collection. The material and shape are the same which is a drop-point style while Junglas 2 also has a softly angled side on the opposite edge.
Holding these blades on both hands you will notice how Junglas 2 is about 8 ounces heavier than your smaller ESEE 6. In addition, just like most survival fixed knives, the two will come with their own sheath and this can be slightly different because the former is contained inside a Kydex while the latter is molded plastic and this one is not as good or probably preferred by many but our personal reason is because it rattle quite a lot.
Junglas 2 and ESEE 6 Blade
As for any blade what do you want to know about first is probably their material itself as it is related to the reliability as well as how you will take care of the blade while having them. In this part both Junglas 2 and ESEE 6 are the same because they are equally made from 1095 steel carbon just like many other survival knives out there such as the affordable BK2 that you can check on our ESEE 6 Vs BK2 here.
As the name suggests, this steel is made with 0.95% carbon which is meant to harden the material and overall making them long lasting while still being tough enough for daily survivor jobs but, they are also not the best for longevity if not treated properly due to the low level of manganese which is often used to further harden the steel. Usually you can sharpen this blade easily but you will also need to oil it to prevent rust.
Junglas 2 and ESEE 6 Handle
The next part we want to mention is their handle and here both Junglas 2 and ESEE 6 are also the same because the two are using Micarta, the common material we often see made into survival knives handle and personally we have no issue with this because they are known for lasting ability and rigidness that probably can even surpass the steel itself as it doesn't need much care. However, the handle is a bit textured so it can be a bit uncomfortable for some.
If this texture bothers you, we can just wear gloves or wrap something around the handle to improve the comfort but we do think it is not an issue and just related to personal taste and the grip is quite wide or feels great even when doing heavier tasks such as rigorous chopping.
Junglas 2 and ESEE 6 Performance
The last part we want to talk about is their performance but in terms of reliability, Junglas 2 and ESEE 6 are just amazing. They are capable of doing various tasks without any issues such as splitting woods by batoning them through it, chopping a long branch to be used for kindling, making spears for hunting, etc. are all possible with any of them. The difference is probably in the length and weight because Junglas 2 is 7.7 inches long compared to 5.7 inches long of ESEE 6 which makes the former able to cut larger logs and have more force due to the weight.
Junglas 2 Vs ESEE 6
These survival knives are equally amazing when you talk about their reliability but the main difference between the two is only about the length of the blade itself which makes the Junglas 2 can have more force especially for rigorous chopping or splitting a log with larger diameter. It also has a better sheath that we do think will satisfy most users by making it from Kydex.
Overall you should go for which of them that sounds will fit you the most as the two are equally good but, between the two personally we like the size and weight of ESEE 6 yet, if you prefer a heavier blade then Junglas 2 is the more ideal choice.

This Saturday's task: a medieval romance
Sir Gunna Romancalot was thinking it was time he made the move to ask the beautiful Lady Penny Foryathorts for her hand in marriage. Lady Penny was the daughter of the village Blacksmith, a rough and tumble man known as Yule Blacksmithyanytime.
Negotiating such an arrangement with Lady Penny's father was one thing but in recent times Sir Gunna, knight of the realm and notorious slayer of dragons, endangered as they were, had become aware that Lady Penny was being shown attention by none other than Lord Iva Bygwon.
Knights, of course, thrive on competition and Sir Gunna immediately began to plan to bring Lord Iva down and claim Lady Penny for himself.
Lord Iva Bygwon lived in a castle to the north of the village. He was forever big noting himself, telling tales of his exploits in foreign lands, showing off his trophies which were often gruesome in their display, severed heads and all that sort of thing designed to spoil the joy of a good breakfast.
Sir Gunna threw down the challenge to Lord Iva and the challenge was dually accepted.
They met in the meadow behind the Medieval Bookshop, Ye old Books and other stuff, at six in the morning.
A crowd had gathered including the village undertaker, Buryudeepndark, a sad-looking man with a tape measure slung around his neck.
In the challenge that followed both men were injured and as everyone knew the winner was the last one standing. Lord Iva Bygwon finally stood over Sir Gunna and was about to claim victory when in a last-ditch effort, Sir Gunna lunged forward the ended Lord Iva's quest.
In the crowd stood Lady Penny, aghast at the barbarity of the morning's event. She turned to leave when Sir Gunna stood before her asking for her hand in marriage.
Lady Penny saw the want in his eyes. She heard the tenderness in his voice. She noticed a rather large wart on the side of his nose.
She declined his request leaving poor Sir Gunna a desolate man.
So, broken was he and so disillusioned by life that he gave up being a knight and slayer of endangered dragons and became the village gardener.
He found a new love in hydrangeas and daisies. He grew them in every spot he could find, to Lady Penny the gardener, now known as Gunna Groem, was a man to notice. And she did. She loved a man with muscle and a penchant for flowers.

CAEB welcomes its new adviser
May 6, 2015
The new Associated Student Body government adviser was introduced at the recent Clubs and Events Board during its last meeting for the semester.
Juan Miguel Blanco is originally from the state of Washington, where he used to work at Skagit Valley College.
Dean of Student Development Manuel Perez served as the interim adviser for ASB since September of 2014.
He filled in for this role after Tanika Byrd, the previous adviser for ASB, left American River College for Cosumnes River College.
"I will love to pick your brains and to see what we want to institute here at ARC and to learn from you as well," Blanco said.
May 5 is the final day that members of clubs are able to RSVP for the CAEB's banquet that will take place on May 15.
One of the concerns that was brought up is that the banquet will have food that the general public LeslieAnn Dameron said that the event needs to look full.
CAEB will be cleaning out a closet that is in the club board meeting room this Friday. There was a motion to give clubs two incentive points per club members that participates in the clean up.

In college, there is sometimes no way to avoid staying up late, and as the clock creeps to a later and later hour, we all see ourselves reaching for a salty bag of chips, or a creamy pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. But there are tons of healthier snacks out there that are (almost) equally delicious. So collegiettes, drop the junk food and pick up a treat that will not only fill you up, but will also keep you energized into the late hours of the night. We've broken it down for you with 10 healthy study snacks that will keep you energized and ready to rock any problem set!
1. Mixed Nuts
Since we're not looking to climb a mountain, but rather ace a take-home test, toss the calorie-heavy trail mix aside, and grab some simple almonds, walnuts, and cashews instead. Loaded with salted nuts, sugary dried fruit, and chocolate chips, trail mix can have at minimum almost 700 calories in a typical serving. That's roughly 40 percent of your day's total calories! But there are other, healthier, nutty snacks that will satisfy your cravings.
Most markets carry 100-calorie packs of almonds, portioned so that you don't overeat, but you'll still find yourself full by the end of the bag. As a more economical option, portion out your own mixture of almonds, walnuts, and pecans and bring them around campus with you. The nutritional value differs depending on the nut (you get 25 whole pistachios for 100 calories, but you can only munch on 14 almonds for the same calorie count), but 15-20 nuts is typically a healthy portion size.
"[Eating nuts] means you'll eat less and won't raid your refrigerator in a half hour looking for something else, to eat," said Melanie Jatsek, a registered dietitian and author of Healthy U: A quick reference guide to eating healthy on campus and beating the Freshmen 15.
According to Jatsek, those who include nuts in their diet have an easier time managing their weight because they feel satisfied longer.
Looking for something with more of a kick? Try sprinkling some garlic powder, cinnamon, or pepper for an added flavor, but no added calories.
2. Apple and Peanut Butter
Apples on their own are great for you, but add in the protein that peanut butter brings to the equation and this snack cannot be beat.
"Peanut butter is mostly fat…true! But that doesn't make it fattening (unless you're downing the entire jar!)," Jatsek said.
A spoonful of reduced fat peanut butter paired with a sliced up apple, not only makes for a great combination, but will also keep you awake and alert throughout the night. Because as the saying goes, "An apple a day, keeps the doctor away."
3. Whole-Wheat Pretzels
Whole-wheat pretzels are significantly better for you than chips, but offer the same salty flavor that you're craving. In about 22 pretzels, there are roughly 110 calories, as compared to 160 calories in just 12 potato chips. But sometimes pretzels can be a little bland. That's why I suggest dipping them in mustard. Not only are there minimal calories in mustard (3 calories for every tablespoon), but it also gives the snack an added kick. Keep it to classic mustard, though. Honey mustard can get pretty caloric! If you're not a fan of mustard, try pairing the pretzels with some Greek yogurt. According to Jatsek, it's the perfect combination of sweet and salty.
"[Pretzels] need some protein with it otherwise you could probably polish off the whole bag without thinking twice!" Jatsek said. So don't forget to portion control collegiettes!
4. Triscuits and Light Laughing Cow Cheese
Triscuits are an excellent source of fiber, with about 12 percent of your recommended daily value. According to Jatsek, Triscuits are a heartier cracker that will keep your stomach satisfied longer. Paired with a 35-calorie wedge of Light Laughing Cow cheese, you'll feel full and ready to work.
"Add some tomato slices to the cracker for a little more flavor and nutrients," said Jackie Keller, a nutrition expert, licensed and certified wellness coach, and founding director of NutriFit, Los Angeles's premier gourmet home meal delivery service.
With six different flavors of Laughing Cow cheese to choose from, you'll be able to find the taste that you're craving. Laughing Cow cheese comes in creamy swiss, garlic and herb, French onion, blue cheese, mozzarella sun-dried tomato and basil, and queso fresco and chipotle. Just be careful not to over-indulge; limit yourself to 10 crackers to guarantee you won't be too full to continue working.
5. Air-Popped Popcorn
Popcorn is an awesome choice when it comes to picking a crunchy snack.
"Popcorn is a much better choice if you're looking for a low calorie snack with some fiber, just avoid salting the popcorn," Keller said.
It's simple, cheap, and fast to make so it won't be holding you back from studying. Air poppers are also inexpensive, but you can also just use the stove to pop your own kernels. With a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, cinnamon, or herbs, you can turn this ordinary movie snack into something unique, tasty, and satisfying. Three cups of 94% fat-free microwave popcorn have about 100 calories. This is a great option if you want a giant snack during your study break.
6. Edamame
"Edamame is a wonderful choice, offering protein and nutrients, while being low in fat," Keller said.
Edamame is sold at almost all supermarkets and is extremely easy to make: just pop it in the microwave for a few minutes! From there, you can either keep them in their pods or break the edamame out of its shell and bring them along as individual peas. With a side of low-sodium soy sauce, edamame is a perfect choice for a late night snack. A cup of edamame has about 189 calories and a whopping 17 grams of protein to keep you feeling full long after you're done munching!
7. Cottage Cheese and Grapes
Cottage cheese can be the perfect snack for late-night eating. While it may seem like the same old snack, it can easily be dressed up to satisfy any craving. Sprinkled with cinnamon or with a few added grapes, you can take this dairy-centered snack and turn it into a low-calorie sugary bite to eat.
"If you select low fat or fat free cottage cheese, this is a great choice offering vitamins, antioxidants, and protein," Keller said— all things that will keep you awake and satisfied. Already portioned in small snack-packs, cottage cheese is a perfect grab-and-go snack.
8. Hummus with Vegetables
Hummus is another great grab-and-go snack, coming in already portioned containers. In roughly one tablespoon, there are only 27 calories.
"Hummus is very healthy, but relatively high in fat. Don't use too much of the hummus and stretch it by using baby carrots, celery, or cucumber for additional flavor and nutrients," Keller said.
Vegetables are natural sources of energy, giving this snack the added boost to keep you feeling rejuvenated.
9. Greek Yogurt
Looking for a treat more tart than sweet? Greek yogurt is just that. Like most yogurts, it is great for your body, offering tons nutrients and energy. But Greek yogurt is even better for you than your usual, old-fashioned yogurt.
"Greek yogurt has a lot of extra protein. If you buy a portion-controlled amount, you're not likely to overeat. Once you finish it, you're done," said Susan Holmberg, New Jersey nutritionist, weight coach, and behavioral therapist.
Holmberg suggests you add in some blueberries, providing you with an added sugary taste and more antioxidants. You can also try adding in some crushed up walnuts (5-7 walnuts go a long way when finely crushed) for a little crunch, turning your simple yogurt into a healthy parfait.
10. Small Sandwich
If vegetables, nuts, or pretzels aren't for you, don't fret — there is still more out there. Try creating a small meal for yourself. Registered Dietitian and Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California-San Francisco Katie Clark suggests making half a turkey sandwich or a vegetarian taco with black beans.
"Eating small frequent meals, or mini-meals, throughout the day helps to keep blood sugar levels stabilized, and prevents you from getting so hungry that you overindulge the next time you eat," Clark said.
Pacing yourself throughout the day, and into the night if you're up late studying, will keep you satisfied longer and deter any over-indulgent binges while you're working at night.
Do you have a favorite healthy study snack that we missed?

Few shows have the ability to dangle Easter eggs over a fan base who already know, to some degree, how things end up more than Breaking Bad prequel Better Call Saul on AMC.
But things are becoming particularly overly scrutinized now that Saul starts its fifth season on February 23, and AMC announced that season 6 will be the show's last. As we prepare for the penultimate season of creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould's backstory of how Bob Odenkirk's "Slippin'" Jimmy McGill went from being a regular con-artist who couldn't keep his nose clean to the show's titular shyster attorney, there are rampant fan theories not just about the character spent his final days before he came into contact with Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul's meth cooking duo Walter White and Jesse Pinkman – but what was going on with others involved in the criminal underbelly of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
"I feel like this is the first season where we could really say, to all the Breaking Bad fans, 'This is the season you've been waiting for,' and to all the Better Call Saul fans, 'This is the payoff you've been waiting for,'" Saul co-star Michael Mando told Rotten Tomatoes after he participated in a panel for the show at the winter Television Critics Association press tour.

Mando comes to Saul with a unique perspective. As opposed to other characters on the drama — such as Jonathan Banks' permanently exasperated fixer Mike Ehrmantraut or Giancarlo Esposito's Gus Fring, the fastidious small business owner participating in an extremely long revenge scheme — Mando's laconic cartel lieutenant Ignacio "Nacho" Varga is not seen in Breaking Bad. Although his character is briefly referenced in the original series in a way that suggests he does make it out of Saul alive, Mando is mum to say more other than "this is Nacho's biggest season, and he's very heavily involved both at the beginning and at the end."
He specifically spoke of Nacho's relationship with his father, Manuel (played by Juan Carlos Cantu). A working-class upholstery shop manager who just wants his son to stay out of trouble, Manuel has already had some dealings with Nacho's business associations — and was not too pleased about it.
"You really get to see how deeply Nacho loves his father in the third episode [of this season], and you really get to see how hard their relationship is," Mando said, adding that "[Nacho] gets his heart broken in every direction. It's like his stars are so dim, and everyone seems to break his heart, and I think his sanity is questioned at times. Someone's got to care. Someone's got to say this is wrong. I think it's heartbreaking for a character to realize that maybe no one will — or, maybe Mike will."
(Photo by James Minchin/AMC)
By "Mike," he means Banks' aforementioned gruff henchman – for whom Saul is as much an origin story, even if his name is not in the show's title ("Are you talking about the animated series, Baby Mike?," Banks joked during the show's TCA panel when asked if there could be more Bad-related spin-offs, given the success of this show and last year's El Camino movie). A dirty cop with his own guilt over his derailed father-son relationship, Mike's time on Saul has been a penance as he routinely gets his hands bloody out of an obligatory need to support his granddaughter and widowed daughter-in-law.
"Mike doesn't put much value on his own life," Banks told Rotten Tomatoes in an interview after the TCA panel. "It's not bravado. It's just, in many ways, a beaten man."
Mike becomes a regular presence on Bad, but Banks deadpanned that it's not a given that he'll stick around Saul because "they could put him in a coma." He added that, although much of his screen time on this show has been spent developing his relationship with Odenkirk's character, "any time you spend with a human being, you learn more, you like them more, or dislike them more. And that does unfold to a greater extent with Jimmy's and Mike's [relationship]."
Plus, he said, he'll be creating the backstory for Mike "until the day I die," reminding us both that the character spoke of his own rough childhood last season and that we'd previously learned that he was a sniper in Vietnam.
"My opinion? Nobody comes back clean," Banks said matter-of-factly of Mike's veteran status.
Banks' hope before Saul wraps its upcoming sixth and final season?
"I kind of want to know who my son's mother was," Banks said, who also speculates that Mike was a single father and that his son's mother is still alive … somewhere. "Where did she go? Who was she? She's never part of the picture. She's never mentioned."
Apparently, even the Breaking Bad–Better Call Saul stars have fan theories about the shows.
Better Call Saul returns for a two-night season 5 premiere on Sunday, February 23 and Monday, February 24 on AMC. Subsequent episodes will air on Monday nights.

Our volunteers who go on our Medical Trips are very special people,
and we are so grateful for them.
Tom, a nurse who has participated in several trips,
shares a couple of memories:
"Little boy waking up from anesthesia after a cleft lip repair. He was very fussy and just wanted to be held. So I held him and he calmed down quickly. He loved to snuggle, as did I. This is what nursing is."
"This was a 10 year old girl waking up from anesthesia and near terrified. I oriented her to time/place (am bilingual) and then asked her what I could do to help her. She asked me to hold her hand. This was the greatest thing in nursing I've ever done. I still cry when I look at this."

Harry and Meghan: Here is their $ 18 million home
That Harry and Meghan they had not decided, with their divorce from the royal family, to devote themselves to a neopauperist life made of bread and spring water was immediately clear.
The Vancouver villa where the couple took refuge during their Canadian stay had all the characteristics of a palace, only with that more modern and slightly exasperated touch of American architecture (compared to the imposing but ancient British structures full of history and of large halls).
Now that their life has moved to Los Angeles the needs of the Dukes couple does not seem to have reduced their needs for luxury. According to what the British tabloids reveal, Harry and Meghan have moved to the villa of the actor Tyler Perry thanks to the mediation of their friend Oprah Winfrey.
The mansion, located on the hills of Beverly Hills, would have eight bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, 22 acres of land and garden and a style that recalls the Medici villas and whose value, always according to the tabloids (very careful to put the emphasis on the exaggerated standard of living of the Dukes as opposed to the composure and rigor of the Dukes of Cambridge), would be around 18 million dollars. It is currently unclear whether Harry, Meghan and little Archie are guests or renters. But we are sure that the newspapers will not fail to let us know.

Froome Has Fractured Hand, Wrist
Get access to everything we publish when you sign up for Outside+.
Reigning Tour de France champion Chris Froome confirmed Friday he has fractures to his hand and wrist.
Froome left the Tour de France during Wednesday's tough cobbled stage after crashing twice, adding to his fall the day before when he suffered his injuries.
AFP/Yuzuru Sunada
"MRIs done, confirmed fractures to the left wrist & right hand. Time for some R&R … " he said on his Twitter feed.
After falling on Tuesday's 163.5km fourth stage from Le Touquet to Lille, Froome went back to the medical car and received a splint for his left wrist and bandages for his right hand and left thigh. The next day he started the perilous 152.5km stage from Ypres to Arenberg Porte du Hainaut, which included seven sectors and 13km of slippery cobbles in dreadful wet conditions, with a splint protecting his left wrist. But after the second of his two falls, and visibly in pain, he climbed into a Sky team car and left the race.
After Froome's first fall on Tuesday, Sky team manager Dave Brailsford had said he was "relieved" and described the Kenyan-born rider's injuries as "superficial." But Sky said Friday they had nonetheless carried out further tests at Froome's home in Monaco.
"We made it a matter of priority for Chris to have a thorough investigation into the injuries he sustained as initial scans from the race doctor on stage four couldn't confirm any fractures," Sky's doctor Alan Farrell said. "Under our instruction, Chris was examined by a specialist at the Monaco Institute of Sport. The process involved MRI scans which have shown today that Chris suffered a small fracture to one of the bones in his left wrist. The investigations also revealed a small fracture to a bone in Chris's right hand, which hadn't caused him any undue pain over the two stages.
Some reports on Tuesday had claimed Froome, 29, hadn't broken anything and when he gave up on Wednesday there were voices claiming he'd been beaten mentally rather than physically. But Farrell said that couldn't be further from the truth.

"The fact Chris hadn't felt discomfort in his right hand shows how tough he is, and the pain threshold he has," said Farrell. "Chris has been incredibly brave throughout this whole process and clearly did not take the decision to withdraw from the Tour de France lightly. "Thankfully, his injuries won't be keeping him off the bike for too long and we expect him to return to training in the next few weeks."
Brailsford suggested after Froome's withdrawal that he would ride the Vuelta a Espana, which begins Aug. 23.

The title of this post is compelling right?
You're dying to know about my fridge aren't you?
Well, here it is in all it's glory:
|We keep the milk tags for crafts.
Can you find anything to snack on?
Anything easy to reach?
Not if you're 5 and 7.
Hubby loves leftovers.
He doesn't eat them or even wrap them up properly, he just likes to make enough to have leftovers and then he puts the bowl or plate right in to the fridge.
And we end up like this.
Every single week.
I can't find what I'm looking for when I go to make something.
The kids can't find a snack that won't bring the entire fridge toppling down.
And we end up buying too much.
Case in point – can you see the 5lbs of blueberries in there?
So every week I have to get in there.
You did read that right – every single week!
I repackage up all like foods together (blueberries for instance).
Here's the after:
I label them for the girls to see, and I put a date on them so I know when we got them.
Then I put the healthy snacks at munchkin height.
Just because you're observing the world from butt height doesn't mean that the view has to be cr@ppy. lol
