As you dig deeper into Hearthstone, you'll discover that decks tend to fall into one of a handful of categories. There are hundreds of cards in the game, but they're all balanced well enough that decks typically lend themselves to quite a small number of broader strategies. For the newcomer to Hearthstone, not to mention collectible card games as a whole, this categorisation of deck types can be confusing at first.
For this reason, we've put together a quick guide to all of the most common deck archetypes you'll encounter as you play. Whenever you stumble across a new deck, take a moment to consider why it's been allocated into its particular category. Doing so will not only help you understand the best way to advance towards that deck's win conditions during matches, it will also help you forge a balanced yet focused deck when it comes to your own unique creations.
Aggro decks
These decks are designed with one job in mind - bring the opponent down to zero health as quickly as possible, and with minimal time spent controlling the boad. Quickly played low-mana minions, spells and weapons are typically the order of the day here, although don't discount the decks that derive much of their damage from creatures like Chillwind Yeti either. By focusing their attention on cards that punch far above their Mana cost, these decks seek to get the most bang from each turn's buck.
Control decks
If you prefer a more economical, thoughtful and strategic approach to gameplay, you'll likely enjoy wielding a control-orientated deck instead. At every step of the early to mid-game, you'll want to deal with your opponent's threats as quickly as possible, leaving you perfectly poised to begin your own assault with a small number of powerful late-game cards. You'll likely need to bait out your opponent's hard removal cards - Polymorph is a prime example - to ensure that your late-game monsters live long enough to do their job.
Midrange decks
The lines are a little blurred between this deck archetype and the previous one, but you're likely playing a midrange deck if you're constantly trying to snowball your own threat, while efficiently dealing with your opponent's. This will likely involve using cards with added bonus effects, such as a Divine Shield, which will help you deal with an enemy minion while still leaving your damage dealer alive on the board. Don't worry too much about the confusion between Midrange and Control, as they share much of the same strategic philosophy, but just be aware of the finer points of difference.
Tempo decks
Tempo decks largely sacrifice card advantage in favour of increasingly powerful minions that become ever more irritating to remove. This style of play forces your opponent to waste cards rather than play to the board, allowing you to keep chipping away at their health with increasingly bothersome effectiveness. Think of Deathrattle cards that feed the Undertaker, or spells that feed Mana Wyrm. From a defensive perspective, cards like Freezing Trap belong to the tempo category too, as they frustrate your opponent's development of the board, while allowing your own fighting forces to tick merrily along.
Combo decks
These sorts of decks are typically slotted into one of the broader archetypes listed above, but there are certain strategies that lean so heavily on a specific win condition that they can arguably be defined separately. An example of a deck with a very specific win condition is the Miracle Rogue, which seeks to rapidly assemble an army of cards that can finish the bulk of an enemy's health in one turn. Another is the Druid's Force of Nature and Savage Roar combo that can remove nearly half an opponent's health in the late-game. As even these decks require elements of control to make it alive to the critical combo play, they're more usefully categorised under the broader definitions above.

Subcommittee Examined Need for Sufficient, Evidenced-Based Plan for Reopening Government Workplaces
Washington, D.C. (June 25, 2020)—Today, Rep. Gerald E. Connolly, the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Government Operations, held a hearing examining how the government can protect federal employees while continuing operations and providing vital resources to the public.
Members and witnesses agreed that the Administration's guidance for reopening government workplaces is unclear, incomplete, and poses risks to the health and safety of the 2.5 million federal public servants and an estimated 3.7 million federal contractors who comprise our civil service.
This morning, in response to the Administration's insufficient guidance, Chairman Connolly introduced two pieces of legislation that would support the civil servants who continue to serve our country.
The Chaicharn Suthammanont Remembrance Act, cosponsored by Chairwoman Maloney and Reps. Norton, Sarbanes, Raskin, Gomez, Lynch, Lawrence, Speier, and Khanna, would require each federal agency to publish online a plan to reopen a federal office building at least 30 days prior to the return of federal employees.
The Federal Workforce Health and Safety During the Pandemic Act, cosponsored by Chairwoman Maloney and Reps. Norton, Sarbanes, Raskin, Lynch, Lawrence, and Khanna, would, among other things, extend hazard pay and provide childcare reimbursements to those federal employees working on the frontlines.
At the hearing, the Subcommittee heard testimony from Jacqueline Simon, National Policy Director of the American Federation of Government Employees; Lorraine Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer of the National Safety Council; J. Christopher Mihm, Managing Director for Strategic Issues of the Government Accountability Office; and The Honorable Jim DeMint, Chairman of the Conservative Partnership Institute.
Witnesses discussed the need for an evidenced-based plan from the Administration for reopening federal workplaces:
- Witnesses stressed the importance of establishing evidenced-based, safety-centered reentry plans that the federal workforce and American public can have confidence in. Mr. Mihm stated, "we have to also have confidence, and employees have to have confidence, that, as we reopen, they will be safe in the workplace and they'll be safe in their interactions with the public. And the public has to have confidence that they will be safe in their interactions with government."
- Witnesses discussed how guidance from the Office of Personnel Management and other federal agencies has been inadequate compared to guidance from the private sector. When asked whether the American Federation of Government Employees has received guidance comparable to that provided by large private companies and organizations, Ms. Simon responded, "Absolutely not. It's a complete patchwork. There's not only inconsistency among the agencies, but inconsistency from location to location."
- Witnesses agreed that the federal government should serve as a model for reentry to the workplace for the private sector, but has failed to do so. Ms. Martin stated, "I do think this is a place where the federal government can set an example, but the example that I would like to see set is that we are following all the guidance from the health organizations, from some of the companies…who have very detailed playbooks on how to bring their folks back to work and when to bring them back."

While many Bruins fans think that a long leave of absence for NHL players could end up benefitting the B's when the NHL finally starts again, that may not be the case at all.
In theory, an older, veteran team such as the Bruins would be well-rested with bumps and bruises healed along with energy levels restored to what they were at the beginning of the season. To the layperson, that would be a good thing.
Get the latest news and analysis on all of your teams from NBC Sports Boston by downloading the My Teams App
All one needs to do is look at the Black and Gold's 15-4-0 record in the 19 games after their 10-day All-Star break/bye week in January that pushed the invigorated B's to their very best stretch of the regular season. With even more rest, one might extrapolate that Boston would be in even better shape once the Stanley Cup playoffs finally do roll around, if they ever do.
All those theories don't seem to jive with reality, however.
In so many words, Brad Marchand implied he doesn't think it's going to work out very well for the Bruins if they get a chance to put a cap on a season where they've been the NHL's best for most of it. The months that the players are being forced to stay off the ice is going to take away their feel for the puck and push everybody to the same poor level of conditioning. Any momentum Boston had built up the first five months of the regular season is pretty much out the window now.
Instead, Marchand thinks the advantage will swing pretty strongly to teams with young skating legs that will simply turn playoff games into a track meet with the kind of raw NHL speed you normally only see in October.
Maybe it will benefit the Lightning getting Steven Stamkos back from a serious injury or the Hurricanes getting Dougie Hamilton back from injury as well. Still, it sure doesn't seem to Marchand like it's going to help a Bruins team that was sprinting to the President's Trophy when the season was paused.
"I don't think it's going to help anybody," Marchand said in a virtual town hall with Bruins season-ticket holders on Thursday. " The only ones it's going to help is teams with players that had significant injuries. Just look at [Steven] Stamkos, who was injured and guys like that. Now they have the time to regroup and get healthy.
"But it's not going to help any teams that were playing well at the time. Maybe a few days [of rest] might have been good, but when guys are taking a few months it's going to hurt everyone.
"You can't skate, keep your conditioning up or keep up your skills. It's going to hurt everybody. Everybody is going to be sloppy," Marchand said. "I think the only teams that are going to come back and look good are the really young teams like Toronto or Tampa. The really high-end skilled teams are just going to have the legs and be able to get it back quick. Older teams are going to struggle."
The Bruins have some excellent young players, David Pastrnak, Charlie McAvoy and Brandon Carlo among others, but they are most definitely an "older team" with core guys Patrice Bergeron, Zdeno Chara, David Krejci, Tuukka Rask and Marchand well past 30.
For the veteran Bruins who rely on chemistry, conditioning, physicality and hockey awareness, it could prove a challenge if there's only one or two games to warm up ahead of the postseason. Clearly, it won't be the only challenge for the Bruins given the likelihood that teams will be playing in empty arenas and filling a summertime playoff slate when they're usually out on the golf course somewhere.
Still, the NHL's best players know that the biggest hurdle to jump over for any kind of successful conclusion to their season is going to be bouncing back from the longest stretch most of them have gone without skating in their adult lives.
"You can stay active. You can stay moving and keep the conditioning level as 'up' as best you can. But the biggest thing is that it doesn't matter what you do off the ice. You can run and you can bike, but nothing that you can do is going to simulate the workout that you do on the ice," lamented Marchand. "You can't duplicate it. You can't replicate it. It doesn't matter who does what during this break, we're all going to feel awful when we come back.
"We're all going to be bad. It's going to take a while to get it back, so that's going to be the biggest concern with this whole thing. If you take guys that have been off and had very limited opportunities to work out and train and haven't skated in months, you can't just throw them back into games or everybody is going to get hurt. There's going to be some kind of ramp-up period, but it's going to be really, really ugly for a couple of games. It'd be nice to get a couple of games before the playoffs, otherwise, it's going to be a free-for-all."
Clearly, there are more important things going on in the world than the plight of the Bruins, but the NHL's return means we're inching closer to normalcy in a world put on edge by the coronavirus crisis. Still, it's also a dose of reality to hear Marchand speak about the extended break and how it's going to do no favors to Boston's high hopes for a Stanley Cup given where they were when the season was paused.

It's late July, so what do we have to talk about hockey-wise? There's little kids getting trained by the pros, some hockey stats geekery in the works, and a sterling example of how silly the trade rumor circuit gets sometimes. All this and more after the jump...
Little Preds Hockey School is in session - Nashville Predators Examiner
Jim Diamond has the scoop on the Little Preds Hockey school (which my son is attending). A good time was had by all at A-Game Sportsplex last night, except for one poor little girl who got her finger stepped on by a skate in the dressing room.
thinktrain: Rob Robinson » Does Sully equal success?
One local hockey fan asks the question that will surely get overlooked by outside observers who think the Preds didn't make any positive moves this offseason. With Sully on board during the 2nd half last year, Nashville played at a 100-point pace..
Irreverent Oiler Fans: The 'Shot Quality' Fantasy
Vic Ferrari takes a whack at "Shot Quality", one of the tools that hockey stat geeks like to use to better evaluate goaltender performance. There's some heady stuff in here that's going to require a bit of digestion...
An Interesting Development…? " SenSay
If you like trade rumors, this is milk-blowing-out-your-nose hilarious; at least, if the author is just being sarcastic. If not, it's downright ludicrous, easily one of the most impractical, absurd notions I've seen floated on Ye Olde Interwebs (and that's saying something).
Making the case: Maxim Afinogenov | Section 303
Jeremy suggests that the mercurial Buffalo Sabre might make a fine addition to the Preds 2nd line. Based on his struggles over the last two seasons, however, I would be very surprised to see the Preds make him a significant offer.

Welcome, Osahon! We're so happy to feature your beautiful story "To Look Forward" in the first issue of this new epoch of Fantasy Magazine. Your characters meet on the playground—a setting that they have outgrown—to escape the pressures from family, peer bullying, and neglect as they fight to find and keep their sense of self. It's a perfect setting for the tension between childhood and adulthood to play out. Can you tell us how this story came about?
Thank you so much for this spotlight Christie! I'm really happy that this story found such a perfect home. I really wanted to play around with the idea of childhood imaginations being burdened with adult expectations, and I'm glad the swings managed to reflect that idea (as well as being the perfect metaphor). This story came about in many different ways—the first is that I wanted to write about a type of friendship that was built around each character being so engrossed in their own imaginations and journeys that they have no time for anyone else. In first-person stories I feel like we often get the main character's story and then small glimpses (if we're lucky) into the life of the side characters. What I like about "To Look Forward" in this aspect is that (much like the main character's role as a listener) it gives everybody a voice of who they are meant to be. It's definitely one of my favorite stories for that reason: everyone gets to be so well-rounded.
The second way this story came about is through personal childhood experience. I swung on a lot of swing sets and played in a lot of playgrounds when I was younger, and I was always trying to see how high I could go each time, until one day I literally broke the swing under me. I love mining childhood nostalgia like this in my fiction because I had a lot of imaginative experiences growing up, and this story is kind of a love letter to one of those moments.
The third reason this story came to me is because I really wanted to write a Shimmer story in late 2017/early 2018 (when Shimmer magazine was still in active publication). I was obsessed with the notion of what makes a story Shimmery and "To Look Forward" was one of my many attempts. Two of my biggest inspirations for this story actually came from Shimmer stories—I'd describe "To Look Forward" as a cross between "Hare's Breath" by Maria Haskins and "Dandelion" by John Shade.
Your story is a poignant exploration of youth, power, potential, and the impossible choice of pleasing others or pleasing ourselves. This is a theme you've explored before—I recently read "Be a Thunder, Release a Roar" published by Robot Dinosaur, wherein your protagonist is struggling with many of the same issues, but in a different way. What draws you back to those themes?
A great question. I think one of the most complex issues about living in a collectivist society (which is the case for many African countries) is that you're constantly taught that everything you do affects everyone, and all your choices must be made to respect/consider others in your family. I think this is pretty much a double edged sword—yes we should definitely take into account our family members and other people around us when we make some choices, but a lot of times this idea robs us of our own sense of choice and can be weaponized against us. As a result, we shrink into ourselves, or we live unhappy lives just to please others around us, to prevent ourselves from "shaming" our families, and I think one of the goals in my stories is to always show that your own happiness/autonomy is important. It is worth it. And you should seek it at all costs. There's a quote by Sunny Moraine in their Uncanny Magazine story "Your Slaughterhouse, Your Killing Floor" which says: "Freedom tastes like blood. So be a Fucking Vampire."
I also think both "To Look Forward" and "Be a Dinosaur" explore (and what I'm exploring in some other stories I'm writing as well) is how school systems in this day and age have become intimidating and oppressive all over in the world. In Nigeria, where "To Look Forward" takes place, students are forced to pick between art, social science, or science to study at a young age. I've always felt this system makes young children jump into intense courses before they realize what their true passions are, and as a result they become greatly overwhelmed. "To Look Forward" is as much an exploration of freedom as it is a critique of education, and I wanted it to be a wake-up call to how stifling this educational system can be.
You sold your first story when you were just fourteen years old, and pursued your own iridescence all the way from Nigeria to Pennsylvania to attend the Alpha Workshop for young writers. What was that journey like? Do you have any advice for other young writers?
I did! I sold my first story to The Dark in early 2017, and that was definitely an amazing feeling. Alpha was a dream come true for me as well; I applied on a whim last minute based off one of Daniel Jose Older's promotion tweets for the workshop, and it was one of the best experiences of my life and for my writing career. It definitely gave me the wings to write my weird stories and to flesh out the stories of my heart. I met some of my favorite people there and I had the opportunity to read some of the most imaginative and beautiful fiction from my classmates (go check out the work of Wenmimareba Klobah Collins, Kit Pyne-Jaeger, and Kay Harlan, just to name a few). I would definitely encourage anyone to apply if they're able—it is worth the experience and I can never forget it. And the two stories I wrote there, "Who Has Never Loved a Gentle House" and "Flags Flying Before a Fall," have now been published in Strange Horizons! My advice to other young writers is basically to not be afraid to write whatever the hell you want. The only way to grow and expand the limits of what a genre can do is by trying it out for yourself, and I think it's worth writing even the most nonsensical stories just to see what they can accomplish. Be inventive. Be a vampire. Don't limit yourself. Everything that I thought was too weird and too strange has been appreciated in some form or another, and your work will be valued as well. Go for it!
This year the pandemic has changed every aspect of our lives, from the way we communicate, to how we attend and teach school, to how we buy groceries. Some people have felt like they had to put their creative mind on hold; others have found that it has given them more to write about. How has it affected you and your own creativity?
I think the pandemic has actually made me more of a horror writer. I usually write fantasy for the most part, but this period has definitely brought out my horror side. I've written a lot of horror stories and drafts, and I think that's been my way of handling the situation: to focus on the scares I can control. I also do think the pandemic has affected and maybe changed my writing style a little bit—I have definitely found myself to be more finicky over my work than usual. These are uncertain times, and I think the best we can all do is to stay as safe as possible and try to get through it. There's no real solution to creating words in a pandemic. It's one day at a time these days.
In just three short years you've amassed an impressive list of publications, so I have no doubt that we can expect to see more from you soon. What are you working on, what do you have coming up, and what should we be looking forward to seeing from you?
Thank you for this spotlight! I suspect that by the time this interview is out I may have a horror story available from The Dark magazine about a Nigerian mothers' WhatsApp group chat that goes horribly wrong (involving some creepy chain messages as well) called "Forwarded as Received". Look out for that! I'm always working on a million things at once, but currently the newest contenders in my Word doc right now are: my novelette about the formation of a cult featuring someone who may or may not be Tarzan (don't tell Disney), a science fiction story written partly in JAMB past questions, a story about a sentient bubble trying to become a famous Nollywood actor, an epic fantasy story written in pidgin English about betting on rams, one musical short story, and a magical school novel I'm still tinkering about with. My brain is in many different worlds at the moment.
Spread the word!

Are you interested in becoming more involved?
Please reach out to Leigh Anne Butler with a description of your interests at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Action Agenda. Below you will find some of the inspiring connections and collaborations made at the conference! Please share your stories with us as you make progress in your work as we would love to feature you in upcoming newsletters! Here is some inspiration:
We attended the Beyond Flexner 2018 conference and presented a poster on an anti-racism curriculum we are developing with the goal of incorporating it into the mandatory curriculum at UNM SOM. At Beyond Flexner we met other students, from schools across the country, who are working on projects at their institutions tackling these same issues. It was wonderful to network with other students passionate about anti-racism in healthcare and we plan to share curriculum resources with these students. We also hope to collaborate with other students on scholarship about student-led, anti-racism curricular interventions. If you are working on this type of intervention at your institution, please contact Hadley Pope at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I'm a social worker based in St. Louis working with the local med schools to incorporate health equity, trauma-informed care, social and structural determinants of health, and personal identity work into their curricula with a goal of creating a pipeline of providers going into primary care or community practice. The Beyond Flexner conference offered so much insight and helped me generate new ideas and consolidate ideas that I'd had previously. Of particular help to me was actually the Young Flexnerian meet up where I met with some other younger folks to talk about their work and, in the process, learned about narrative medicine and the work of some Teaching Health Centers, both extremely relevant to what I'm trying to accomplish in St. Louis. Lastly, the data about the lack of black, male representation within med schools, while not surprising, does give me a new angle for conversations with med school administration: not only do we need more primary care doctors but we also need more doctors that look like our most vulnerable populations. What are we doing to help increase and retain the number of black men who come through our doors? How can curriculum reform help us to that end? My brain is still on overdrive more than a month later. I can't wait until next year!

Jane Michalski and Leslie Sobel: Earthforms
@ The Center for Visual and Performing Arts
1040 Ridge Road, Munster, IN 46321
Opening Sunday, January 26th, from 1 PM - 3 PM
On view through Sunday, March 8th
Jane Michalski and Leslie Sobel are two artists who explore their personal observations and concern for the earth using inventive abstract forms. Both artists employ encaustic wax medium on paper and panel, often combined with printing techniques. Earthforms: Michalski & Sobel, will take place in the South Shore Arts Atrium Gallery of the Center for Visual and Performing Arts in Munster, Indiana from January 8th through March 8th, 2020. The artists reception is scheduled for Sunday, January 26, from 1 to 3 pm.
Sobel approaches her artistic interpretation of the effects of climate change through scientific understanding. From Ann Arbor, Michigan, she has traveled to distant locations, including the Eclipse Ice Field to observe the landscape directly. Her work in this exhibition references both high latitudes and watersheds. She aims to explore both scientific understanding of how the world is changing and the grief felt at mounting losses in the anthropocene.
A resident of Chicago for many years, Michalski has used a single location, an outcropping of ancient bedrock along the shores of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin, as the inspiration for her personal abstractions. Her observations of this place have evolved through an understanding of the changing nature of the lakefront in contrast to the enduring presence of the bedrock. Her layered paintings reflect formal concerns and metaphorical interest in her subject matter.
South Shore Arts serves as the Regional Arts Partner for Lake, Porter and LaPorte Counties, the state's second most populous region. More than 20 exhibitions fill three South Shore Arts galleries each year, showcasing regional, national and international artists and cultures. The Center for Visual and Performing Arts is a multi-purpose facility built by Community Foundation of Northwest Indiana, Inc. to support the cultural and educational needs of the region. The 72,660-square-foot facility, which opened in 1989, provides services for meetings, seminars, banquets, weddings, dinners, theater and fine arts.

Tucked away down a hidden cobbled walkway off St Bride's Passage, nestled between the high walls of St Bride's churchyard and beneath the church itself, is the entrance to Humble Grape. On a warm August evening we arrived to sample this new venue making an entrance onto the City's wine bar and casual dining scene.
The Venue
Upon passing through the arched stone doorway of the venue's 'humble' entrance, I was astounded by the size and style of the interior space. I love the tucked away, hidden quality of the place, which opens up into the warm, welcoming and hugely spacious rooms within.
With its high, vaulted ceilings of exposed stone and intricate sandstone archways, recycled cork walls and an assortment of industrial-style lighting, the venue is really quite stunning. One of my favourite spots is one of the original crypts of the church, now transformed into a wine store for many of the bottles from their wonderful selection. With wrought iron bars interwoven between the glass panes and the light shining off the many bottles lined neatly along the cork walls, the effect is really quite impressive.
Humble Grape is really more than just a wine bar. Firstly, the venue itself is spectacular, and could easily pass as a serious events space as a hidden-away bar off Fleet Street. Secondly, the food is exquisite and, whilst retaining a chilled out, unpretentious feel, many of the dishes far exceed the fine-dining options that can be found elsewhere in the City.
Food and Drink
Humble Grape offers up a collection of over 30 wines by the glass or carafe, and over 200 by the bottle. Whilst the origin and range of these wines differ hugely, the care and attention paid to the sourcing and selection is consistent. Most are exclusives, and from many of the smaller vineyards the whole vintage is often bought. We began with a glass of delicious sparkling pink wine - the Llopart Reserva Brut Cava (£9.75). All of those we tried throughout the evening were superb, and by the end of the night I was convinced that Humble Grape is something of a wine lover's paradise.
One thing that made me instantly like Humble Grape is its uncomplicated, amusing wine list. The Winzer Schup Rotgipfler, for example, was described as 'As crazy as its name', and the Sauvignon we tried from the Balland-Chapuis vineyards was made by a family who are experts at two things - 'wines and marriages'.
The dishes served up by the fantastic team in the kitchen are all designed to be shared, and the food is delicious. I tried my first taste of Biltong (£9), hailing from the owner's native South Africa, though I can't say I was a fan. However I was reliably informed by my dried meat loving companion that it was in fact very good. The Baked Camembert (£10.75) was something else. Not that you can really go wrong with this baked cheese delight, but the combination of pistachio, rosemary and garlic it was infused with made this a mouth-wateringly moreish option, served with plenty of toasted focaccia for dipping.
Sampling the Salmon Tartare (£14), we discovered why our host had recommended this delectable, summery dish served with coarse guacamole, lime juice and pomegranate. The special of the day, Beef Entrecôte Stew (£19), veered slightly from the venue's sharing platter concept, but with melt-in-the-mouth beef, truffle-infused mash and tender green veg, was definitely an enjoyable addition to the menu.
We finished the night with the Dulce Venganza ('Sweet Revenge') Chardonnay, a great dessert wine that acted as a perfect end to the evening.
The service provided by the team at Humble Grape is exceptionally friendly and attentive and the hosts are highly skilled at making you feel immediately welcome. Never fear if you are not yourself a huge wine buff, I am pretty sure that the team know pretty much everything there is to know about wine and are more than happy to provide you with suggestions or talk to you about the wines that are on offer.
A pleasant jazz playlist could be heard throughout the venue and mixed well with the gentle hum of chatter from the happy punters seated throughout the restaurant and bar. The atmosphere is one of convivial sophistication and is perfect for after-work drinks with colleagues, a great evening spent with friends or an elegant first date.
I am sure that Humble Grape's great atmosphere and excellent menu will soon make it a favourite haunt of many, it is certainly already on my list of go-to bars in the City. As of yet still something of a hidden treasure, it is a new take on London wine bars finding its feet with incredible style.

[dropcap]U[/dropcap]nder the Narendra Modi Government, people are feeling 'threatened'. They cannot express their opinions freely, they say. Many award winners, most of them forgotten names, are dusting their awards and sending those back. Whether they are actually taking the pains of locating the forgotten award or not, they are getting their Warholian 15 minutes of fame.
The rush to return awards is not followed by all. It seems that the 'intellectuals' of Bengal are cleverer. They have written a letter to their Pranabda, India's President, stating that they are feeling threatened. They don't find anything amiss when voters are kicked out of polling booths, party cadres resort to violence, police remains mute spectator in their state. Given their more than four decades of association with such incidents, they find no reason to panic over that. They also know how difficult it is to win awards; hence, they desist from returning the same. Letter to the president is an intelligent option — be in the news but do nothing drastic. Bengalis call it "the stick remains intact but the snake gets killed". In case one forgot, Amitav Ghosh is a Bengali, too.
When so many persons, not ordinary ones like me but intellectuals, feel so threatened, there must be some reason. Leading the pack, Nayantara Sahgal, known for her relation with Jawaharlal Nehru, returned her Sahitya Akademi Award on 6 October in protest to the government's failure to protect cultural diversity in the country. She returned it, "In memory of the Indians who have been murdered, in support of all Indians who uphold the right to dissent, and of all dissenters who now live in fear and uncertainty."
What Sahgal could not express an opinion piece writer in The Economic Times made good:
As our prime minister we have a man who can't even be dignified by being called 'uncultured', but an ignorant egomaniac who has deliberately made a successful political career of being an enemy of culture wherever and whenever he suspects he may have found it.
And in Modi's India, people are being casually and brutally murdered — from rationalists to god-fearing tailors who happen to be Muslim…
What is tragic in the well-orchestrated falsehood is the role of mainstream media; it is displaying prominently the names of those who are busy returning awards. But more disgusting is the publications which print the kind of language the 'intellectuals' are writing on a democratically elected prime minister of the nation. The least the I&B minister can do is to stop the publication from receiving any government advertisements. A big corporate house did the same to the group a few years ago. If he dares not, the government may ask its ministers not to attend any event of the publishing house. There can be no justification for abusing the prime minister. In case they miss the point, abusing is not criticising.
The sudden vehemence of the attack by so-called intellectuals was perplexing till the party on ventilator CPI(M) on 15 October hailed Indian writers for doing the country proud by standing up to condemn what it said were rising attacks on freedom of expression. In an editorial in its party organ People's Democracy, it said,
What binds them (the writers) is their deep moorings in secular and democratic values. It is a clear and bold expression of how the country will not succumb to Hindutva authoritarianism.
The writers' protest was sparked off by the 30 August killing of MM Kalburgi in Karnataka. It took 37 days for the Left and Congress to reach so many writers willing to return their awards, at least to announce the same!
"By returning the awards bestowed on them and by resigning from the positions they hold in the Akademi, they have also spoken out against the growing attacks on plurality and cultural diversity by the Hindutva forces," the Communist Party of India – Marxist said. The protest is against silence of Sahitya Akademi against the killing of Kalburgi, with the killing of a Muslim allegedly by some Hindu hooligans at Dadri in Uttar Pradesh adding spice over the plot.
Both the incidents do not speak well of the state of law and order in the country in general and the State governments of Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka in particular. None of the intellectuals has approached the respective State chief ministers and the governors to express their concern. The Bengal gang did not even consider marking a copy to the respective States. Clearly, the concern is not over the two heinous crimes, but to use the same against Modi. The point to note is that most of these 'intellectuals' took part in a signature campaign against Modi when he was chosen as the BJP's PM candidate.
Blinded by their hatred towards Bharat and as its representative Narendra Modi, these 'intellectuals' have lost all their intellect. They must read the constitutional provisions on the role of the Centre and States. By not doing that and by selectively ranting against the prime minister, they are fomenting the communal divide in the country. In addition, they are damaging the image of India at a time when New Delhi has been scouting for investment.
While the first one might be out of their inadequate sense of society, the second one, which is damaging our reputation, could be well planned. If investment comes, there will be progress. Progress will empower the people — irrespective of religion. This will hurt their constituency. Both the CPI(M) and Congress have thrived on poverty, ignorance and squalor.
The days of these five-star activists are numbered. The longer Modi stays and strengthens his foothold in New Delhi, the worse will be their business of romanticism with poverty. Modi is not Vajpayee. He is new to the capital but he knows well how to keep the mansabdars at a distance. This means the 'intellectuals' cannot hope to gain at all from a Modi regime. Hence their desperate effort to weaken the leader and the government he leads.
Senior journalist Anand Ranganathan exposes the hypocrisy of award-returning intellectuals:
A pity that Indira Gandhi awarded herself the Bharat Ratna, or else she'd have certainly returned it in protest against the Emergency.
Patel. Died 1950. Bharatratna 1991
Ambedkar. Died 1956 Bharatratna 1990
Nehru. Died 1964 Bharatratna 1955
Indira. Died 1984 Bharatratna 1971
Respect is earned not when you RETURN an award but, rather, when you REFUSE it. Like Jean-Paul Sartre, Le Duc Tho, and Patrick French.
In 2013 there were 472 hate crimes in Italy, a 660% increase over 2012. Surprised why Mr Satchidanandan didn't return his Italian Knighthood
In 2012 alone, America witnessed 263,540 violent hate-crimes. Protest against this creeping intolerance, Indian writers. Return your awards.
Will Dr Brodsky please administer on us the Ludovico technique, so we can open our eyes to this laughable hypocrisy?
Recall how our intellectuals celebrated when Amitav Ghosh gladly accepted Israel's million dollar Dan David Prize. [Ah, Gaza doesn't exist.]
G Devy returns his Sahitya Akademi award, but keeps Linguapax Prize, awarded by Spain, that saw 142 hate crimes in 2015, 57 against Muslims.
57 communal incidents EVERY SINGLE month, during 2011-2013. How many awards were returned during the same period? 0.
An average of TWO communal incidents A DAY, for THREE years running, 2011-13. But nothing crept. This is how data DEMOLISHES scaremongering.
He concludes with this tweet and 5 more:

Good eating habits are important for good health. In order to succeed in our quest for good health we should include seeds in our diet. The nutrients contained in seeds to nourish the germinating plant are also very good for our health. Some of the more important seeds will be highlighted.
One of the most important seeds to include in our daily diet is flaxseed but this was discussed in detail recently.
Sunflower seeds are a good source of vitamin E, an antioxidant important for the circulation, the immune system and brain health. It also contains phytosterols which help to lower high cholesterol. Magnesium is another important nutrient found in them which helps with blood pressure, strong bones, migraine and asthma. Have about a 1/4 cup per day.
Pumpkin seeds are a great source of proteins, B-vitamins and L-trytophan. These components make them great for improving mood and energy. They also help prevent the development of kidney stones. Have about 1/2 cup per day.
Chia seeds are powerful and are considered to be one of the superfoods. They are the best plant source of omega 3 (eight times more than salmon), three times more antioxidant of blueberries, 10 times more fibre than rice, seven times more vitamin c than oranges, 2.5 times more proteins than kidney bean, six times more calcium than milk and 10 times more magnesium than broccoli. It is also gluten-free. Have about 1 tablespoon per day.
Grape seeds are another powerhouse. This is especially true of muscadine grapes. They are packed with antioxidants which can be used to treat almost any chronic illness including high cholesterol, arthritis, circulatory disorders, diabetes, hypertension and the list goes on. They also have anti-cancer properties.
Sesame seeds are usually used as a condiment but it's a great source of manganese, copper, calcium, iron, phosphorus and fibre. They contain lignins which are antioxidants and help to reduce cholesterol, blood pressure and the risk of cancer.
Most people when eating pomegranate discard the seeds. They are not only edible but are a good source of fibre and vitamins, namely C and K. The flesh and seeds can then be eaten as one unit.
Hemp seeds are the richest natural source of essential fatty acids, a source of complete proteins and high in phytonutrients.
Seeds should be had raw to preserve the nutrient content. They shouldn't be roasted.

Student file of Edward Sorrell, a member of the Shoshone Nation, who entered the school on August 30, 1905, graduated in 1907, and ultimately departed on January 21, 1908. The student did not attend the school continuously, but left and reentered. The file contains student information cards, a financial transaction, a report after leaving, a progress/conduct card from Dickinson College Preparatory School (Conway Hall), a news clipping, a returned student survey, and correspondence.
The file indicates Sorrell worked for the Oregon Short Line Railroad Company during the winter in 1910 and left the school to tend to his 360-acre farm in Inkom, Idaho where he had cattle and horses and milked cows to sell the cream to a local creamery.

Proper Shipping Equal Return Customers
A reminder to my eBay sellers to ship promptly. I recently purchased a waterpik from a Seller on eBay. The eBay auction said it would arrive within 5-7 days. I messaged the buyer and received no response. About a week later I received an automated message from eBay with a postal tracking number. The Seller did not ship promptly. I could tell from the location the waterpik was shipped they were drop shipping. The waterpik arrived two weeks late and it was not due to slow mail but they were slow to ship. Be sure to check your handling tine on your auctions. I noticed on her feedback she had multiple negative and neutral feedbacks from other ebay Buyers regarding shipping time and communication. If you do use a drop shipper make sure you use one that ships the same day and communicate with your Buyer..Happy Buyers are the key to a successful transaction and part of watching your business grow with return customers..

'Grey's Anatomy' star Sara Ramirez says 'Adios' after 10 years on show
After a decade on "Grey's Anatomy," Sara Ramirez is leaving.
The actress, who played Dr. Callie Torres, announced that she is going to be "taking some welcome time off," according to Entertainment Weekly. She thanked the show's creator, Shonda Rhimes.
"I'm deeply grateful to have spent the last 10 years with my family at Grey's Anatomy and ABC, but for now I'm taking some welcome time off," said Ramirez in a statement. "Shonda's been so incredible to work for, and we will definitely continue our conversations! I send my love to Ellen, the rest of the cast and crew, and I look forward to always being a part of the Shondaland family!"
The show's season finale, however, suggests that Ramirez could return from time to time — we see Callie and her ex-wife Arizona speak with some regret about their break-up and at one point Arizona buys tickets to New York, where Torres has moved.
That leaves a cliffhanger: Will Arizona stay in New York with Torres or will she bring her back to Seattle?
In a statement quoted by Entertainment Weekly, Rhimes sings Ramirez's praises.
"Dr. Callie Torres came into our lives dancing it out in her underwear almost a decade ago, and I could not be happier or more proud of her journey," Rhimes said. "Sara Ramirez's performance inspired me as well as millions of fans each week. We wish her the best on her well-deserved time off. I will miss Callie tremendously, but am excited for what the future holds for Sara. She will always have a home at Shondaland."
Ramirez's fellow stars are in the midst of renegotiating their contracts. They include Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson, Justin Chambers, James Pickens Jr. and Kevin McKidd.
Ramirez started out on the show playing an orthopedic surgeon and girlfriend of George O'Malley (T. R. Knight). She then experimented with relationships with women, which drew praise from the LGBT community.

The Cult of Covid
It appears that Covid-19 has actually spawned a cult. I'll be nice and not adopt the obvious label "Covidiots" for its members.
I'll go with "Branch Covidians", instead. It's funnier and it's completely accurate.
Covidianism appears to be a branch of Statism, but maybe it's distinct and there's only some incidental overlap in the middle. Maybe, but probably not. The correlation seems too high to be coincidental.
Branch Covidians have their own religious canon– handed down from the politicized Experts, put into action by the political Rulers, and preached by the priests of the Mainstream Media. It has sacred garments (face masks) and rituals (anti-social distancing). Sacrifices are required; both human sacrifice (people killed by shutdowns) and "covenants of flesh" (vaccinations), and tithes (economic ruin through shutdowns and stimulus money). And most of it is divorced from reality– including science– in a big way.
In spite of the craziness, the Branch Covidians have gone mainstream– pushing their religion from the media and government buildings– and it's bizarre.
My eyes hurt from rolling so much at what Branch Covidians believe and worry about. I can't be one of them. It appears I'm an atheist concerning that religion, too.
As with any religion, I have no problem with anyone practicing it until they start imagining that the rules they make up and apply to themselves as believers in that religion apply to the non-believers as well. Then I'm going to resist.

Ooops--my bad. Said I'd be back the next day with the 411 and really...I spent the rest of the weekend hanging out, doing laundry, photocopying music, preparing for the week ahead.
So. Back to Met Lucia x2 (I'm considering x3 with Trebbs).
Last year I sat in line all day for those cheap tickets in the orchestra section. Get there at 10am, wait until 5:45, get tickets if you're the first 100 people...HORRID idea---whoever was in charge of that is WRONG!
Just HAND out the tickets at noon or something for goodness sake. Tangent. Basta.
Ok. So. Dessay was amazing. The acting and the singing were one. There was no sharp, flat, wrong, NOTHING. Everything was clean and crisp and I paid attention to her more as an actress than a singer..even though the singing was perfect.
Damrau's singing was more thrilling, that's for sure. The color of her vocal range, the exciting top and how she gets ready for it...the full chest in the low. It wasn't perfect or executed perfectly at all times--but it was about the emotion and passion of the music I think. Which mirrored her acting nicely, although sometimes the awkward soprano/tenor in-love pose got a little tiring in the duet--hold me so that it looks like we are about to kiss or embrace but really we're positioning ourselves so that we can both sing out and somehow bounce the sound off of each others chests. Or...hold me so that it looks like we are about to kiss or embrace but really when you sing I'll pivot downstage and when I sing you'll pivot downstage so that we can sing out.
Oh. The mad scene was cool because it was newly blocked with crazy Diana minus the stairs and the rolling around on them.
What she did was just as passionate and slowly insane and unstable...and I loved that extra spark that it gave the final Act.
I LOVE that in live theater. Something that perks you up because it's not 'normal' or 'expected'.
A cover going on. Something wrong with the sets so you have to restage something...awesome energy because everyone knows it's not the same thing and THIS time will be different.
And it certainly was.
Coming up this week---audition for a role that I so so so so so much want to perform--in LIFE.
Followed by three more next week and hopefully as many as I can get this season.
Because the bottom line is that thinking about being onstage, thinking about singing, getting to be onstage, getting to sing...and the entire process that goes into--long and hard and EXPENSIVE as it may be...is all worth it in the end when I get to say that this is the career that I chose and that chose me...and it couldn't make me happier to be part of it.
happy shiny rainbows and bubbles to all....
good night.

City Shuts Down Parking Lot Where 4-Year Old Was Killed in Hit-and-Run
BUSHWICK – The city ordered the removal of a parking lot outside the Bushwick laundromat where 4-year old Luz Gonzalez was killed in a hit-and-run late last month.
Families and community members demanding justice had rallied outside the laundromat for days after hearing that the driver in the fatal crash would not be charged with a crime.
Now, the Department of Buildings has ordered the owners of Clean City Laundry to remove the parking lot where the crash took place.
The painted spots, which are located between the building and the sidewalk, must be painted over and a barricade installed to prevent drivers from using the space.
"We have had no problems with the parking lot before," Clean City owner Kenneth Liu told the Daily News. "I don't know what problems they are talking about."
"I have no idea what happened that day," he said. "I really feel sorry about what happened to the little girl, but now we have to pay for this.
Two weeks ago, on June 24, Luz Gonzalez was killed while out with her mother. After the young girl lost her shoe while riding a scooter on the sidewalk outside the laundromat, Gonzalez's mother knelt to help the child.
The driver of a Nissan Rogue, exiting the parking lot of the laundromat, struck both mother and child with her car before driving away. Police caught up with the driver down the block.
Gonzalez's mother injured her leg, but the young girl suffered trauma to her chest and torso, and was declared dead on arrival at Wyckoff Hospital.
The next day, NYPD angered relatives, residents and activists by announcing that the 38-year old driver of the SUV that killed Gonzalez would not face criminal charges for her role in the hit-and-run.
"She had to know," Gonzalez's mother, Reyna Candia, said at the time. "I want her to pay," she said. "The person who did this, she has to pay."

A Taste of Tel Aviv in New Orleans
On Saturday night, I had dinner at Shaya, the new restaurant from New Orleans Chef Alon Shaya. I was a big fan of Alon's from his other restaurants (Domenica, and sister restaurant, Pizza Domenica), so I was eager to try it. Early reviews were raving about the food, so I was skeptical if it could live up to the hype. Well, boy, did it ever. I had never eated Israeli food before, so my friends and I opted to order pretty much...everything on the menu. The waitress seemed sk
A Day in the Bywater
This past weekend gave us the first glimpses of beautiful Spring Weather here in New Orleans. My friends and I had made plans to get lunch somewhere with an outdoor seating area, and I suggested we venture outside of the Garden District and check out the Press Street Station in the Bywater. The restaurant is a new venture for the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts -- a high school which hails graduates such as all the Marsalis brothers, Harry Connick Jr., Wendell Pierce, A

Professionals in creating screenplays, movie scripts and script writing, the individual is well versed in a range of writing and is a storyteller at the very core of their being.
Screenwriting is usually a freelance profession where the core abilities are storytelling and imagination. There is a legion of would-be screenwriters who attempt to enter the film industry, but it often takes years of trial-and-error, failure, and gritty persistence to achieve success.
Professional screenwriters use creative ideas to write scripts, with the intention of selling them and having them produced. In some cases, the text is based on an existing property, such as a book or person's life story, which is adapted by the screenwriter or it can be a novel or material for would do well to be presented on screen.
Characteristics of a great screenwriter include:
A passion for movies

It's in your best interest to find a screenwriter who loves all periods of films and someone that can use their experience and knowledge of the industry to create the perfect script for your needs.
Have the ability to sniff out the key story lines
A story written for the screen must be interesting enough to hold an audience's attention for a number of hours, it should contain a suitable amount of action and also be able to be told in ways that are visual and engaging.
Good writing skills
Screenwriters should know the concepts of dramatic writing – things such as acts and conflict and inciting incidents and plot twists and reversals and climaxes and resolutions. Good writing is focused on engaging with your audience and entertaining them for the time they are viewing your film or show.
Be able to write for a mass audience
Screenwriters should write so that material is understandable to the people that you want to come to see your film. Writers are not writing for a niche circle, but for large numbers of people that are eager to experience your ideas.
Willing and able to rewrite until the content is 100% perfect

We should let you know right away that this analysis is the most psychologically painful of everything published on our website so far, and we've dared to start this research due to a number of reasons which we will refer to herein. We'd like to say to people who follow the spiritual path: if you think it's more important for you now to stay immersed in deep inner feelings and preserve internal tranquillity, you better simply leave this page. For all the rest we impart that this analytical research deals with such destructive phenomenon of the "dark world" as KANDUK.
Coming home, the first thing I do is embracing my daughter. I caress her hair, kiss her on both cheeks,... and I think to myself: "How many children are there on the planet Earth who don't have parents? Who have nobody to caress, embrace and soothe them? Have I done everything today to decrease what I don't like in this world and to expand what I like?" And I understand I haven't done everything possible.
Then I go to wash my hands and think: "How many people in the world are deprived of access to pure drinking water, not to mention hot water in a bathroom? How many of them die every day, having no opportunity to wash their body or drink water…?"

Book Summary: Life Of Pi
Yann Martel's Life of Pi is a transformative novel, an astonishing work of imagination that will delight and stun readers in equal measure. It is a triumph of storytelling and a tale that will, as one character puts it, make you believe in God.
After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wide, wild Pacific. The crew of the surviving vessel consists of a hyena, one zebra (with broken leg), an orang-utan, a 450-pound Royal Bengal Tiger named Richard Parker and Pi – a 16-year-old Indian boy. As the 'crew' begin to assert their natural places in the food chain, Pi's fear mounts, and he must use all his wit and daring to develop an understanding with Richard the tiger.
Life of Pi takes the reader on an extraordinary journey – geographical, spiritual and emotional. A rare thing, here is a novel that will change your view of the world.
Book Review: Life Of Pi
Yann Martel wrote Life of Pi to reveal his ideas on faith and inner strength. He does this through the character of Piscine Patel, also referred to as Pi – who exhibits qualities such as, immense faith, inner strength, determination, and the will to live, which help him survive his 227-day voyage through the Pacific Ocean.
Life of Pi is a fiction novel, but Martel tells Pi's story with a very realistic sense. In the Author's Note, Martel explains how he spoke with Pi and met with him in order to learn about his story as if this was an actual event that had occurred. Throughout Part One of the novel, Martel talks as if this story is true – he even directly states in the Author's Note that the story is true.
"It is true that those we meet can change us, sometimes so profoundly that we are not the same afterwards, even unto our names."
Martel begins Life of Pi with a flashback to Pi's childhood; he uses this to explain his family's situation, why they were moving to Canada, and Pi's unique views on life. Within Part One, Pi describes in detail the zoo his father owned and the lesson his father taught him about animals – "every animal is dangerous if you aren't careful." Other than describing the zoo, Pi also describes how he came to know three different religions and how he feels about it all, how being involved in these religions effect the way he looks at life. By the end of Part One, we have a deep knowledge and understanding of Pi.
"To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation."
During Part Two, Richard Parker is introduced, we don't have much knowledge of him except that Pi "has grown to fear him and yet love him". Richard Parker is a Bengal tiger that is trapped on the lifeboat with Pi, and because of the way Pi felt about Richard Parker, he develops as the novel progresses.
"When you've suffered a great deal in life, each additional pain is both unbearable and trifling."
By the time Part Three roles around, we have a better understanding of Richard Parker, we think, until Martel throws a whole new idea out – what if Richard Parker was solely a metaphor for Pi himself? This might actually be true considering Pi's mood often reflected in the tiger's. Through this, we can see great attributes in each of them, Pi adapts easily and quickly in is current situation and also displays faith, hope, and perseverance.
"You must take life the way it comes at you and make the best of it."
Life of Pi is initially set in Pondicherry, India – Pi's hometown, while the end of the novel is set in Canada; each place represents a safe haven, which contrasts to most of the novel. The majority of the novel was set on the ocean, in which Pi must learn to survive despite the storms, lack of supplies, and a tiger that essentially threatens his life. The harsh setting of the ocean sets Pi up with trouble from the beginning to the end of his voyage, but with faith and strength, Pi shines through even the toughest of times.
"Life will defend itself no matter how small it is."
Life of Pi serves a great lesson – to have faith in the toughest of times. You may not be a religious person, but I recommend Yann Martel's Life of Pi, he does an exceptional job of carrying the theme through to the reader. Chapter after chapter, Pi finds himself with new problems, but it's the way he deals with these problems that's extraordinary.
