en | N/A | N/A | the mob. It was like a realization of the imaginary taking of
Torquilstone.
One of the saddest incidents of the riot was the murder of Col. Henry
J. O'Brien, of the Eleventh New York Volunteers, whose men had
dispersed one mob with a deadly volley. An hour or two later the
Colonel returned to the spot alone, when he was set upon and beaten
and mangled and tortured horribly for several hours, being at last
killed by some frenzied women. Page after page might be filled with
such incidents. At one time Broadway was strewn with dead men from
Bond Street to Union Square. A very young man, dressed in the
working-clothes of a mechanic, was observed to be active and daring in
leading a crowd of rioters. A blow from a club at length brought him
down, and as he fell he was impaled on the picket of an iron fence,
which caught him under the chin and killed him. On examination, it was
found that under the greasy overalls he wore a costly and fashionable
suit, and there were other indications of wealth and refinement, but
the body was never identified.
Three days of this vigorous work by the police and the soldiers
brought the disturbance to an end. About fifty policemen had been
injured, three of whom died; and the whole number of lives destroyed
by the rioters was eighteen. The exact number of rioters killed is
unknown, but it was more than twelve hundred. The mobs burned about
fifty buildings, destroying altogether between two million and three
million dollars' worth of property. Governor Seymour incurred odium by
a speech to the rioters, in which he addressed them as his friends,
and promised to have the draft stopped, and by his communications to
the President, in which he complained of the draft, and asked to have
it suspended till the question of its constitutionality could be
tested in the courts. His opponents interpreted this as a subterfuge
to favor the rebellion by preventing the reinforcement of the National
armies. The President answered, in substance, that he had no objection
to a testing of the question, but he would not imperil the country by
suspending operations till a case could be dragged through the courts.
Fourteen of the Northern States had enacted laws enabling the soldiers
to vote without going home. In some of the States it was provided that
commissioners should go to the camps and take the votes; in others the
soldier was authorized to seal up his ballot and send it home to his
next friend, who was to present it at the polls and make oath that it
was the identical one sent to him. The enactment of such laws had been
strenuously opposed by the Democrats, on several grounds, the most
plausible of which was, that men under military discipline were not
practically free to vote as they pleased. The most curious argument
was to this effect: a soldier that sends home his ballot may be killed
in battle before that ballot reaches its destination and is counted.
Do you want dead men to decide your elections?
These were the darkest days of the war; but the riots reacted upon the
party that was supposed to favor them, the people gradually learned
the full significance of Gettysburg and Vicksburg, and at the autumn
election the State of New York, which a year before had elected
Governor Seymour, gave a handsome majority in favor of the
Administration. In Ohio, where the Democrats had nominated
Vallandigham for Governor, and made a noisy and apparently vigorous
canvass, the Republicans nominated John Brough. When the votes were
counted, it was found that Mr. Brough had a majority of one hundred
thousand, the largest that had ever been given for any candidate in
any State where there was a contest. Politically speaking, this buried
Mr. Vallandigham out of sight forever, and delivered a heavy blow at
the obstructive policy of his party.

As Charleston was the cradle of secession, there was a special desire
on the part of the Northern people that it should undergo the heaviest
penalties of war. They wanted poetic vengeance to fall upon the very
men that had taught disunion, fired upon Sumter, and kindled the
flames of civil strife. And there were not a few at the South who
shared this sentiment, believing that they had been dragged into ruin
by the politicians of South Carolina. Many would have been glad if the
whole State could have been pried off from the rest of the Union and
slidden into the depths of the sea. But there was a better than
sentimental reason for directing vigorous operations against
Charleston. Its port was exceedingly useful to the Confederates for
shipping their cotton to Europe and receiving in return the army
clothing, rifles, and ammunition that were produced for them by
English looms and arsenals. Early in the war the Government attempted
to close this port with obstructions. Several old whale-ships were
loaded with stone, towed into the channel, and sunk, at which there
was a great outcry, and the books were searched to see whether this
barbarous proceeding, as it was called, was permissible under the laws
of war and of nations. In 1854 the harbor of Sebastopol had been
obstructed in the same way; but that was done by the Russians, whose
harbor it was, to prevent the enemy from coming in. The strong
currents at Charleston soon swept away the old hulks or buried them in
the sand, and a dozen war vessels had to be sent there to maintain the
blockade. This was an exceedingly difficult task. The main channel ran
for a long distance near the shore of Morris Island, and was protected
by batteries. The westward-bound blockade runners commonly went first
to the British port of Nassau, in the West Indies, and thence with a
pilot sailed for Charleston. After the main channel had been closed in
consequence of the occupation of Morris Island by National troops,
steamers of very light draft, built in England for this special
service, slipped in by the shallower passes. A great many were
captured, for the blockaders {289} developed remarkable skill in
detecting their movements, but the practice was never wholly broken up
till the city was occupied by the National forces in February, 1865.
[Illustration: THE ATTACK ON CHARLESTON.]
In January, 1863, two Confederate iron-clads steamed out of the
harbor, on a hazy morning, and attacked the blockading fleet. Two
vessels, by shots through their steam-drums, were disabled, and struck
their colors; but the remainder of the fleet came to their assistance,
and the iron-clads were driven back into the harbor, leaving their
prizes behind. General Beauregard and Captain Ingraham (commanding the
military and naval forces of the Confederacy at Charleston) formally
proclaimed this affair a victory that had "sunk, dispersed, and driven
off or out of sight the entire blockading fleet," and, consequently,
raised the blockade of the port. These assertions, repeated in foreign
newspapers, threatened for a time to create serious complications with
European powers, by raising the question whether the blockade
(supposed to be thus broken) must not be re-proclaimed, and notice
given to masters of merchant vessels, before it could be
reestablished. But the falsity of the claim was soon shown, and no
foreign vessels accepted the invitation to demand free passage into

When the bath is as refreshing and fun as the Wett Giggles makes it there is no reason to not have tons of fun during a bath. You may ask why, let me tell you.
Take a look at all the fun creatures that adore these bars of soap. No matter what your preference is there will be a Wet Giggles Pal that you can have fun with.
We received the Hamlet Wett Giggles. I was very surprised that the bar of soap and creature was that large.
Inspiration behind the Wett Giggles creations comes from the son of the Wett Giggles creator. The idea was to give a fun way that would hopefully lead to better hygiene skills. The glycerin hand made soaps contains essential oils and Shea butter. The fun farm animals named after Shakespearean characters double as nail brushes.

en | N/A | N/A | Could we, please, just cancel the Olympic Games? Too many athletes, too many different sports half of us have never heard of, too many stories in the Sports Section--it's hard to keep up with how the Cubs are doing, for heaven's sake--just too much of a muchness all the way around. Corporations have paid billions of dollars to broadcast this stuff. But who cares?
I think having world champions is fine, but we do that other years without all this bombast. Maybe if they spread them out--you know, we'll have track events in Beijing in August, and swimming in Delhi in September, and equestrian events in Manila in October, and so on until we're done. We'll give out medals, but no fair carrying the totals over from one city to the next.
That's probably the worst of it--this pandemic of national chest-thumping. I've read story after story about how barracks-full of Chinese have spent the past four years doing nothing but training and yearning and breathing for a gold. Well, the Chinese are admirable and determined people and China now is a great power, whatever that means these days, but isn't it all a bit much?
In the original Olympics, according to a book I read, the athletes competed naked--no national colors, no shorts, come to that. Maybe that would perk up these ponderous games. But, of course, the TV networks would object. The Olympics, like many other sports, is all about big business now, about TV ratings much more than about which kid finishes first. It's too bad, but I don't think we'll be able to fix it.
If you want Old Style Olympics, go down to a grade school playground and watch the eighth graders race each other. They just want to be the best, and that's how it used to be, remember?

en | N/A | N/A | Q: Why is the thermodynamic definition of temperature only valid for large systems? I remember my thermal physics instructor telling me that the definition of temperature, $$,$$ is only valid for (sufficiently) large systems. Why is this the case?
For the specific case of the formula for $1/T$, one of the reasons to request a large size of the system is that temperature is an intensive quantity (does not scale with the size of the system) while the microcanonical entropy (the simplest way to get entropy as a function of $U$) becomes extensive only at the thermodynamic limit (see good Statistical Mechanics textbooks for the proof). |

He focused on water quality issues. "I remember going around to each town and looking at their policies."
AGGIE SPIRIT: He sped through his doctorate in three years. "I was thinking about taking some time off." Then the phone rang. It was Texas A&M. "They have some of the best coastal programs in the world," he said. But Texas wasn't exactly on his or his wife's wish list of places to live. They decided to give it a try for two years. "That was 15 years ago." They still come back to Maine as much as they can in the summer. This summer it was to a rental cottage on Orr's Island, and from there Brody would take runs through Bowdoin's (new to him) Coastal Studies Center. "I was like, 'Wow, I wish this was here when I was a student.' "
WE DON'T LIKE IKE: Brody's position at Texas A&M changed after Hurricane Ike in 2008. The administration faced the question of closing for good the university's satellite campus in Galveston, which had been seriously damaged by Ike. "Or do they double down and become leaders in the this area of coastal sustainability?This being Texas …" They doubled down?Yes. "They started a research center, and I came down to direct that." The Galveston campus is now a special-purpose campus serving about 3,000 students. "Everything is focused on coastal marine issues."
THE TROUBLE WITH HARVEY: Regional watershed approaches (like say, Merrymeeting Bay in the early 1990s) has long been the focus of his work. Key to those approaches is smart development that allows for natural barriers, like wetlands, to remain and considers the ultimate impact of creating impervious surfaces through building and paving. (Houston, American's fourth largest city, has no zoning laws.) Brody has had national and international support for these ideas, but not so much in Texas proper. "I have been talking and writing and speaking and cajoling people for the last 10 years, which I think is why I am so tired from Harvey." But he senses a shift. "The discussion about the pattern of development and impervious surfaces has really gotten louder and more frequent. I feel like there is hope going forward and this major disturbance will be a starting point for new conversations."
DRY FEET: The Brody family was stuck inside their Houston home for three days because of the high water. With teenage boys. But no water entered their house. That wasn't luck. That was planning – earlier this year when the Brodys were shopping for a new house. Brody took a careful look at elevation and drainage. "While Korin was looking at granite countertops, I spent a lot of time choosing a house that I thought would never flood."
THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT: It occurred to him during their house shopping that average buyers aren't able to tap into that kind of information easily. Zillow might give them crime rates, but it wouldn't give them flooding odds. Homes that had been flipped, post-Hurricane Ike in Houston, for instance, might be advertised as "never flooded per seller," but that was only because the seller hadn't been there for Ike. "The public thinks that if you are not in the FEMA floodplain, you're not going to flood. Not true." A month before Hurricane Harvey hit, the university shared the app that Brody had developed, Buyers B-Where. "There are days when we have exceeded 50,000 users." He hopes that the app can eventually be extended to the rest of the country. "That is the kind of stuff we need to be doing."
THE PRICE OF PREDICTION: Although this has been his life's work, watching it play out around him is not what he expected. "It is something I have studied for as long as I can remember. But the personal drama is stronger than I could have realized. I have gone all over the world talking about this, and then to have it happen. It is almost surreal." |

In fact, the event affords companies and programmers a chance to fix holes in their software before hackers can use them to inflict real-world damage.

"We assumed that if one day an uprising emerged, it would be at the hands of a bold leader. Another strongman to replace the ones we didn't like," wrote popular Jordanian blogger Naseem Tarawnah in a letter of thanks to the Egyptian people. "Never, in our wildest imaginations, did we think this uprising would come from the people. Whatever happens, this ... is something no one can take away from them, or from us. It has been embedded in our memories."
Now, the beleaguered ship of Middle Eastern autocracy is under an assault unparalleled since the post-World War II revolutions that brought independence to much of the region.
Tunisia was the first shot across the bow. But the upheaval in Egypt, the Arab world's largest country, has unleashed a volley of fire from Libya to Iran.
It is not so much the aspirations that are new, but a shared spirit of hope that success is possible against long odds. It's a feeling that is unlikely to dissipate quickly and could fundamentally reshape the region – though how democratic the changes will be remains to be seen.
"It would be wrong to say that Tunisia or Egypt ignited a new pattern of protest or generated new expectations ... they've existed, but the organizers in many of these countries sense a new opportunity," says Toby Craig Jones, a historian of the Middle East at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
"There's this talk about a new Pan-Arabism, a new nationalist moment – I'm not sure that's right yet, but there is a perception that people across international borders are aware they have a common experience and interests given the autocrats and economic challenges they share, so whatever it is that exists up in the stratosphere, it's meaningful," Dr. Jones adds, referring to the spirit of revolt in the region.
Protests pose quandary for US
Libya, Jordan, Yemen, Bahrain, and Iran have all witnessed democracy protests in recent weeks, throwing into disarray America's decades-old regional policy of supporting autocrats in exchange for stability.
Both the US and ally Israel are concerned by the prospect of states whose policies may be formulated based on the desires of their people – potentially giving fuller expression to Islamist forces – rather than the deals their rulers make with other nations.
But while pro-democracy protesters may have a bad word for US support of their dictators, they're mostly focused on the regimes at home.
The Arab world is far from homogeneous. There are different cultures, different dialects, and different economic factors at play. But Egypt has clearly created a new sense of what's possible.
Bahrain the most vulnerable
In Tunisia and Egypt, the military and ruling party appear to have bet that by sacrificing their dictators they could negotiate a transition in which their roles and privileges would be largely preserved.
How other states negotiate that quandary will do much to signal whether more revolutions will follow – and what results they will bring. Jones of Rutgers says he's not yet convinced that the current ferment will bring a a real democratic opening.
"It's not that I want to be right, it's just for reasons of historical precedent it's hard to be optimistic," he says. "Even in Egypt, the hard work remains in front of them, and often the people who start revolutions aren't the ones to finish them."
But Bahrain's Sunni monarchy looks particularly vulnerable in the face of an increasingly restless Shiite majority.

Many gardeners start with grocery store garlic by dividing the bulb into individual cloves.
Garlic wants a bit of chilly weather to break dormancy and sprout, so if you have low spot in the landscape where cold air collects and is also in full sun, pick that for planting. Or pop your garlic cloves in the refrigerator for three weeks before planting out.
Garlic is tolerant of all kinds of soil, but make sure yours drains fast. It doesn't hurt to dig deep and add organic matter, but know that bulb plants will rot away in soggy and too-moist soils.
Plant cloves 6 to 8 inches part in full sun. Bury the tips 2-inches deep with the "root end" down and the pointy tip up.
Garlic may sprout in 4 to 6 weeks, but if it does remember that it won't grow much during the winter months. Garlic will develop strong root systems in the winter while top growth resumes in spring.

en | N/A | N/A | Good morning!! Last day of July, and we could see a fairly active weather day! A beautiful start to the day with sunny skies, but I put a water vapor image up to show an upper level system that will help the thunderstorm development. If you look over western Nevada, you can see a line of clouds with some darker shading into the Reno area... the darker shading is showing a little drier air mass and downward forcing air. Now, it ma be later in the afternoon and evening hours before it has an impact on us, but that gives us the rest of the day to enjoy! At the bottom of this image, over Baja and northern Mexico, another organized weather system is poised to move northward bringing an increase in thunderstorms by later Sunday and Monday! We'll keep an eye on this, as it could bring some significant rain to the state.
Good afternoon! I'm doing this a little later, as I wanted to see the storms begin to develop. This is the radar as of 12:15 PM and you can see a number of strong storms over western Salt Lake, and a couple of others down in Utah County. We'll see the storms continue to increase and shift into our area in the next 1 to 2 hours, and these will have some heavy rain and gusty winds. The system responsible for the rain will exit the area tomorrow with a slow drying trend of the air mass. While there won't be as many storms tomorrow, there will still be some, and honestly, we may have a difficult time drying the air mass out through the weekend. Meaning that there'sfrom Thursday through the weekend. We need the rain, so be safe and have a good afternoon!
How about???? I love it, and you can see from the satellite image that the moisture is flowing into the area and this will set the stage for an increase in the showers and thunderstorms. The flow is pretty light, so these thunderstorms are expected to move slow and we could easily see some heavy rain with the thunderstorms. We'll have a little more stable air mass trying to move into the area Wednesday through Friday, but I still expect a couple of thunderstorms will develop. Be safe and I'll update you on the progress of the pattern.
Good morning! The weather balloon data this morning shows a fairly dry and stable air mass over northern Utah, but as you can tell from the satellite image, the moisture isn't too far away. We should have a nice weather today and tomorrow, but we'll start to see that moisture move back into the area with an increase chance of thunderstorms Sunday through at least the middle of next week. The high today and tomorrow will make it into the mid 80's, so just about normal for this time of year! Ha
Good morning! This should be the hottest day of the week with the 700 mb (about 9500 feet) in the low 60s, and we should warm into the low 90s. There is a thin layer of moisture, so the heat will be enough to develop an isolated thunderstorm. The air mass will cool tomorrow and Friday with max temperatures more in the low to mid 80s, and with a cool start to the days, should be some nice weather! We'll begin warming back up this weekend into early next week, but the moisture will return with at least a scattering of thunderstorms. Stay cool today, it'll be warming up fast this morning.
Good morning! More clouds over the area this morning, and the moisture layer is fairly respectable. Now, there are a couple of ways we can squeeze some rain drops out of this moisture. First would be some heating, and honestly, we'll get a little bit, but we'll need more help. The second way would be if we have a weather disturbance that provides some rising motion and that would help with the process, where the lack of heating can't. We do have a little upward motion, so I think we'll see some showers or even a thunderstorm through the afternoon and again tonight. Once this system lifts north of the area, and this will occur later tomorrow, we'll dry out and warm up again. We could use the moisture, so let it rain!
Good morning! A beautiful morning in the mountains! We'll heat up again today into the mid to upper 80s, but any thunderstorm activity should be isolated. We will see some showers and thunderstorms around tomorrow, but it's brief, as we should dry back out Monday and Tuesday and once again warm with the max temperatures by Tuesday near 90 degrees. As we get to the end of July and into August, the monsoon flow should open up a little more and we should see an increase in thunderstorms. However, enjoy the weather today and do some hiking, biking, golfing or just a BBQ! |

In 1968 Mr Whittaker was instrumental in advising the Governing Body on the purchase of Wilmar Lodge, so that the Senior School could move from its location at Beardwood Bank and expand to include the new Sixth Form.
Over the years Mr Whittaker has seen the growth and development of Westholme with projects including the purchase of the new sports fields, the building of the swimming pool, the science wing, the extension of the art facilities, the state of the art theatre, the Astroturf pitches and the Sixth Form Centre. Westholme has also opened the Junior Boys’ School and a Nursery in the last decade.
Mr Whittaker received an engraved vase and a card signed by every Westholme pupil and member of staff in a special assembly. |

Phyllis Collins July 14, 2022 4 min read
Iman Fellani plays the lead role Kamala Khan In the latest Disney+ series broadcast through the MCU, Mrs. Marvell. In the show, the teenage heroine finds herself in possession of a mysterious bracelet that is wompositions made of intense light. And of course, being a huge fan of Avengers, young Lady Khan is totallwhich she looks up to and finds inspiration.
Warni "No Normal".
according to Mrs. Marvell showrunner Bisha K. Ali (via Limit), it's the actual Carol Danvers of Brie Larson standing in Kamala's room in the post-credits scene in Episode 6, debunking fan theories that Kamala has somehow turned into the Avenger:
"This is Carol Danvers in Kamala's bedroom. What you see is exactly what you think you see. That's it, there's no magic in there. All I can say next is enjoy the movie in one year."ters' See also Stranger Things Season 5: Everything we know about the final season
Ali's confirmation on the switch, as opposed to the change in shape, has been confirmed by Marvel official siteWhich posted a piece summarizing the scene in question:
Later, Kamala collapses on her bed, and calls to her mother from downstairs that she does not appear to be doing homework. Kamala groaned, at which point she noticed that the bracelet on her wrist was shining. Taking a better look at her, she was suddenly sucked in by an unknown force resulting in to destroying her wardrobe door. And when the dust settles, Captain Marvel stands up and takes one look around Kamala's room and all her pictures, posters, and pictures are plastered on the walls. Oh no."
When asked if she was on set when Larson filmed her appearance, she responded by saying that she wasn't, but she did mention that seeing Carol on the show itself was. "unbelievable:"
"I wasn't there when it was filmed but seeing her was great! Also, her new suit looks so good with how she coordinated with Kamala. It was delicious! The joy of seeing her standing in Kamala's bedroom is beyond words.. It was perfect. This was a place Kamala is for safety and where it expresses itself. So seeing Captain Marvel standing in that spot, there is a lot of joy in that scene."
Finally, responding to an inquiry about whether the Ms. Marvel/Captain Marvel switch has anything to do with it Kamala's supposed status as a mutantThe writer concluded that the answers fans seek are there Marvels:
"It will all be revealed in the movie. I was excited to help prepare all of these puzzles for you guys that will lead to the movie as the story continues."
The theory has its basis in Mrs. Marvel Comics

Of course, with Marvel Comics' Kamala being a total fan of Captain Marvel, she'.

Maybe all of this actually has something to do with the Kamala genetic mutation? It seems unlikely, because the switch indicatemutant, having gained her abilities from the explosion of an Infiniti stone-powered engine.

Taking combined hormonal contraceptives can also interact with the epilepsy medicine lamotrigine, potentially leading to an increase in seizures. Clair describes her experience: "After yet another tonic-clonic seizure I asked my neurologist about lamotrigine interacting with the pill.

Our best success stories are those of our customers. More than 1,500 of our customers are success stories. At the Sternen Grill in Zurich, we were able to simply label their products and thus become part of their success. Find out here what role Selfix labels play.
Sternen Grill - the original
The Sternen Grill on Bellevueplatz in Zurich is something of a "culinary institution" and is probably in every tourist guide. Whether you are a local or a foreigner in the city - a St.Gallen bratwurst from the "Sternen Grill" with the devilishly hot mustard is a must. Since 1962, the Rosenberger family has been serving food at the "Bellevue" in the Limmat City, although the original building had to make way for a new building in 2011. But the "Sternen Grill" on the first floor, its sausage and mustard have remained as they have always been and above it, on the 1st floor, the new "Sternen Grill Restaurant OBEN" with terrace seating has emerged a very popular address for a good middle-class and uncomplicated culinary pleasure!
Imprint: "WITHOUT CONSERVATIVE SUBSTANCES"

Label dispenser, CAB VS120+
Label width max.: 120 mm
Different upstairs than downstairs
The restaurant's menu naturally includes the certified St. Gallen Bratwurst. As at the Sternen Grill, the guest receives the sausage with a crispy and tasty Gold Bürli. The difference between the first floor and the second floor: the sausage is served and the Gold Bürli is served in a paper bag so that any leftovers can be taken home.
If you are in the mood for "Währschaftes" and want to go for classics, the "Sternen Grill Restaurant OBEN" is the place to be: In addition to the popular sausages and cervelats, veal liver, meat loaf, "Züri-Geschnetzeltes", "G'hackets mit Hörnli" or for vegetarians Chässpätzli with Brösmeli, Älpler Magronen and various salads tempt you to enjoy.
The long tables are set and the menu is ready on the tables even before the guests sit down. Guests mark their preferred dishes and combinations on the menu with the large flat carpenter's pencil, since side dishes, additions, sauces, etc. are freely selectable. Slate boards in the restaurant inform about the current and seasonal offer, which can also be found on the order form as "seasonal pasta", "seasonal omelet" etc.. Everything uncomplicated and intended for the quick service of the guest. And labeling has to be just as uncomplicated!
Belgrill requirements for labels
Thomas Rosenberger remembers well the initial clarifications regarding the choice of labels: "For me, the subject of labels was really new territory and we first had to familiarize ourselves with the subject. Our sausages "to go" are vacuum packed and also have cool surfaces. In addition to flexibility, purely design criteria are also a priority for all packaged products. So we wanted solutions that would ensure this flexibility."
Food products generally place high demands on label solutions. Among other things, the material components used must comply with food regulations. Selfix AG, Bernhard Keel, Marketing and Sales Manager, subsequently recommends that Sternen Grill undertake labeling solutions in digital printing and work with a special permanent adhesive (hotmelt). "Unlike other printing processes, digital printing does not incur cliché costs. Depending on the desired quantities and flexibility requirements, this process is fast, inexpensive and very flexible," Keel knows further. In addition, the labeling is intended to provide a quasi first-opening guarantee, because when a mustard jar is unscrewed, the label is inevitably damaged. A label that is still complete, on the other hand, virtually certifies freshness and newness to the customer.

en | N/A | N/A | In a world where crimes incited by racism or religion have become all too common, an outback Queensland playgroup is teaching children that everyone really can be friends.
Each Tuesday Mount Isa's Ngukuthati Children and Family Centre hosts a multicultural playgroup, bringing children together from a variety of backgrounds.
Playgroup assistant Megan Sarmardin said the playgroup attracted people from the local Filipino, Indian, Sri Lankan and Muslim families.
"It's really well attended. It's a really good safe space to be here together with everybody," she said.
"Mount Isa's always been a really big multicultural place, so it's good that people are learning from an early age to be together."
The children sing, dance and share food and customs from their various cultures.
"It also gives kids the opportunity to learn about each other before they get to school, and [it teaches them about] being respectful of each other's culture, values and beliefs," Ms Sarmardin said.
"I think it's great that they can have a piece of the world here in Mount Isa."
The playgroup is not only beneficial to the children, but it gives their parents a chance to share and learn.
Nayomi Halahakoon, originally from Sri Lanka, began bringing her daughter Shanya to the playgroup six months ago.
"I met so many mums from other countries, which is really nice," she said.
"We talk about what made you come here, while [the children] are having their play.
"We can have [our] own chat and it's really nice getting to know their cultures as well."
Courtney Thomas, whose daughter Zara is a regular attendee, said the playgroup was wonderful.
"I don't think we ever thought about coming deliberately because it's a multicultural playgroup, but it is great for their learning and development," she said.
"Kids ... they're not born with any judgement, they accept everyone, they play with everyone and that's wonderful.
"A lot of the mums — if they're new to Mount Isa, or a lot of us living in Mount Isa — we don't have families here, so it's almost like a support network for them as well.
"They're meeting other mums and meeting other kids and learning about the other services that are available in Mount Isa, which is important if you're not familiar with things and you're not sure where to go and who to contact.
"Everyone is so accepting and there's no segregation or no difference.
"The kids all play happily together and the mums are all learning from each other and talking. It's really good." |

en | N/A | N/A | Because they’re so aligned with the Democrats, they have a direct related interest in you beginning to doubt the basic structures of this country to define its uniqueness and greatness: i.e., capitalism, the markets. They have, over the years, convinced you to hate or suspect virtually every American institution and corporate entity on the basis that they’re out for themselves. ‘They don’t care about you. They want to kill you. They want to harm you. They want you to lose your job. They want you to be poor.’ They want you enraged, they want you miserable; they want you unhappy, and they want you loaded for bear, particularly when the White House is held by the Republican Party because they know that in periods of time where people are feeling ill at ease, they’re always going to blame the president, not the Democrats running Congress. They’ll blame the president. It’s human nature.
One of the things that they do — and we’ve chronicled this in the recent past. You take a look at the Drudge page, look at any list of slugged news items and the majority they have will be things that have not happened. The majority of them will be things that are speculation, and all of the speculation is rotten. All of it is bad, all of it is horrible. Much of it is simply a wild guess. Much of it is news reporting what some interest group has had to say about something, and the interest group is speculating because they’re fundraising, and they want everybody to think there’s a crisis. So the reporting of news, real journalism does not happen much anymore. Journalism has become a look to the future with an attempt to cement in as many people’s minds the doom and the gloom that awaits us as the hours, the days, the weeks, and the months continue to pile up. For example, a couple days ago or yesterday, I forget when, a big story: Scientists say there might be no ice at the North Pole this summer! Might be. T. And here is how it was reported on the CBS Early Show today with co-host Maggie Rodriguez and her report on this.
RODRIGUEZ: A d, wr!
RUSH: Now, there is no news here. The ice has not melted away. It is only ‘a very real possibility.’ It’s scientists talking about things that haven’t happened in a scientific context. So I reached out today to thand Dr. Spencer said, ‘I saw that story. There’s a 50% chance the North Pole would be ice-free this summer? I’d like to take those odds. If anybody would bet me a thousand dollars, I would take those odds.’ And then he said, ‘Let me show you this. The latest chart shows the Arctic has more sea ice right now than this time last year. You can compare the beginning and end of the one-year plots because they got the chart here. The black curve would have to go all the way to the zero line in order for this to happen, and it ain’t going to happen.’
And it’s designed to dovetail with all this global warming stuff, and I’ll guarantee you these scientists are in the mood and in the market for research grants. Science has now devolved into nothing more than pure market capitalism. There’s less and less science today, and there’s more and more attempts to grab money, and it is having a real effect. I’m sure you saw this. I was sent that story, and it’s a UK story. I forget what the source. Doesn’t matter. It was the UK Independent. Okay. I saw the story, and I wrote back to the person who sent it to me, and I said ‘BS,’ except I spelled out the word. This is absolute BS. If there’s no ice at the North Pole this summer, my friends, we’re in trouble. Now, here is another example of this very same method what we have been discussing of treating the news. We have a montage here. Katie Couric from CBS, John Berman and Bianna Golodryga at ABC, Jeff Glor from CBS, and George Stephanopoulos on ABC.
COURIC: Are you ready for $7 gas?
GLOR: The new report out is predicting gas prices of $7 a gallon!
STEPHANOPOULOS: And here’s a number for you: $7 a gallon! That stunning new prediction…
At any rate, ‘Plants and Trees Head for the Hills to Escape Global Warming.’ Have you ever heard anything more ridiculous? This is from the UK Guardian. ‘Trees, shrubs, a’ If we go to the right place, you can actually see these things walking up the hills. You can see the trees and the shrubs walking. You have to see it at night. They don’t want anybody to know they walk around and move. You go out there at night, you hear the rustling around. You think it’s wind? No! The trees and the shrubs, they are making the climb up the hill. Even got a picture of it. They did that in the Lord of Rings. The trees were the saviors. That’s absolutely right. There’s a great picture here of a couple of idiot hikers who are looking at a valley of lush green and we’re supposed to see in this picture the lush green going over halfway up the valley wall on both sides. ‘Twentieth Century.’ Well, what does that mean? Let’s accept for the sake of it that this is true.
What does it mean? That means they’re adapting. Exactly! Just like every living thing must adapt in order to survive. We have to adapt. The trees and shrubs, when we’re not looking, are climbing the valley walls to get up higher there to escape the heat at the bottom of the valley. When it gets cold they’re going to climb back down. It’s very simple. When the global cooling starts and the heat’s over they’ll start climbing back down. They will migrate. They will adapt! But the headline here, ‘Plants and Trees Head for the Hills…’ Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say global warming causing greening of the earth? There is more lush greening of the earth, if we accept all this. Global warming allowing more plants to flourish! This headlin,’ makes as much sense as a headline like this: ‘People Flocking to the Coasts to Escape Rising Salaries.’ Yes, I meant to say ‘salaries.’ |

The last part of the 30-episode docudrama directed by Javad Afshar was aired Monday on IRIB Channel 3.
Rezaian is introduced in the series by an intelligence agent, played by Dariush Farhang, as “one of the CIA’s top spies of the 21st century who can sabotage Iran’s economy and politics by thwarting the country’s efforts to annul Western sanctions.”
In one of the scenes, Payam Dehkordi who stars as Rezaian also introduces himself as “a soft warfare general.”

“What is portrayed about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and my colleagues is not firmly based on realit
“All the documents about the ministry’s talks and correspondence on this case are available, and if they had asked, we would have given them the documents to help the series seem much more realistic,” he added.
Writer Arash Qaderi contradicted Mousavi’s remarks on Tuesday during a press conference attended by director Afshar, producer Mojtaba Amini and several members of the crew.
“The story of Jason’s case is exactly based on reality,” he noted.
On his part, Afshar said, “A collection of documents were given to the writer for use as a basis for the screenplay, but the writer had to dramatize the information extracted from the documents.”
Producer Amini also announced his plan to make sequel to “Gando” and added, “Certain persons should make adjustments in their functional roles to avoid being the subject of ‘Gando’.”
“We received many kind and friendly messages and calls from people that gave us energy, and many of them wanted to know what will happen in the next season,” he noted.
Dehkordi said, “Our people are thirsty for honesty, and every series that is fair in its message can foil dishonest persons.”
Over 140 actors have collaborated in “Gando”, which was shot on location in Iran, Turkey and China. A number of Chinese and Turkish actors also played roles in the series that was produced number of other Iranian military organizations.

Ebenezer Brewer believed it came from the feudal practice of troops wearing their leader’s badge on their sleeves. Since badges and loyalties sometimes changed, people became wary of judging where one stood from such a badge and said they would not pin their faith on someone’s sleeve. By the nineteenth century, however, hopes were replacing faith (at least in this term) and sleeves were lost altogether. |
en | N/A | N/A | Hyundai Sonata: Main components of occupant classification system - Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint system - Safety features of your vehicle
A detection device located within the front passenger seat frame.
A warning light located on the instrument panel which illuminates the words PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indicating the front passenger air bag system is deactivated.
You will find the PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indicator on the center facia panel. This system detects the conditions 1~4 in the following table and activates or deactivates the front passenger air bag based on these conditions.
Always be sure that you and all vehicle occupants are seated and restrained properly (sitting upright with the seat in an upright position, centered on the seat cushion, with the person's legs comfortably extended, feet on the floor, and wearing the safety belt properly) for the most effective protection by the air bag and the safety belt.
*1) The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as a child depending on his/her physique and posture.
*2) Do not allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as an adult depending upon his/her physique or sitting position.
*3) Never install a child restraint system on the front passenger seat.
- Never lean on the door or center console.
When an adult is seated in the front passenger seat, if the PASS AIR BAG “OFF” indicator is on, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK or OFF position and ask the passenger to sit properly (sitting upright with the seat back in an upright position, centered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably extended and their feet on the floor). Restart the engine and have the person remain in that position. This will allow the system to detect the person and to enable the passenger air bag.
If the PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indicator is still on, ask the passenger to move to the rear seat.
Front seat passengers must stay properly seated to avoid serious injury from a deploying air bag.
Even though your vehicle is equipped with the occupant classification system, never install a child restraint system in the front passenger's seat. A deploying air bag can forcefully strike a child resulting in serious injuries or death. Any child age 12 and under should ride in the rear seat. Children too large for child restraints should use the available lap/shoulder belts. No matter what type of crash, children of all ages are safer when restrained in the rear seat.
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the rear, as opposed to the front seat. It is recommended that child restraints be secured in a rear seat, including an infant riding in a rear-facing infant seat, a child riding in a forward- facing child seat and an older child riding in a booster seat.
Air bags can only be used once – have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer replace the air bag immediately after deployment.
Do not place an electronic device such as a laptop computer on the front passenger seat. Its electronic field may cause the OCS to switch to the "on" condition and thus allow the passenger air bag to deploy needlessly in a collision, increasing your repair costs.
A smaller-stature adult in the front passenger’ seat who is not seated correctly (for example: seat excessively reclined, leaning on the door or center console, or hips shifted forward in the seat) can cause a condition where the occupant classification system senses less weight than if the occupant were seated properly (sitting upright with the seatback in an upright position, centered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably extended and their feet on the floor).
This condition can result in an adult potentially being misclassified as a child and illumination of the PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indicator.
If the occupant classification system is not working properly, the SRS air bag warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate because the passenger's front air bag is connected with the occupant classification system. If there is a malfunction of the occupant classification system, the PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indicator will not illuminate and the passenger's front air bag will inflate in frontal impact crashes even if there is no occupant in the front passenger's seat. If the SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, remains illuminated after approximately 6 seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer inspect the occupant classification system and the SRS air bag system as soon as possible.

en | N/A | N/A | Posted on 26 January 20135 November 2013 by Bill Jones, Jr.Crazy Magnet, Part 6 Thanks for sticking with the story. Here is the final section.
I cock my head. I am positive that no one told her that. TS-SCI cleared or not, that information is not on any official reports. Hardesty would have his head handed to him if anyone knew he had spent taxpayer money on such a “fringe” activity as a psycho detector. He’s the only person I’ve ever told about the crazy magnet. He’s an idiot, but I would trust him with my life. I guess that makes me one too. “What makes you think I’ve been hired to evaluate you?” I ask. “I assume you’ve already gone through scrutiny.”
She shrugs. “Mostly the normal procedure. I answer questions, they talk to neighbors and family, lie detector, and so on.”
“If you had a history of mental illness, they would know it.”
“They know about my history with doctors. They just do not know what to make of it.” I pause, watching as she manages to convince a squirrel to eat a bit of cookie from her hand. “From breakfast,” she says, smiling.
I am smiling back, although it is not something I do on the job. Time to get serious. “Ms. Dark,” I start. It gets her attention right away – the smile evaporates. “I need to know where you learned about my role with the agency. It’s strictly need-to-know.”
She crouches a little, and whispers, like we’re suddenly in a spy movie. It’s cute enough I start to smile again, despite myself. “I am sorry … I did not know it was a secret. I can … read people, you might say.” My expression must have changed because she looked at me, her face drawing taut and continued to explain. “I do not know if it is the synesthesia, or the head injury, or God, or insanity, but what I see is not what the world sees.” She stops.
“I’m listening,” I say, speaking softer.
“Sometimes it is colors, as in your case. Other times, like Hardesty, it is more than one thing. When he eats, for instance, I smell sour milk. He is a bright, stinging red that makes my tongue itch, and the sound of his chewing makes my eyes water. It is very distasteful.”
“Yeah, it’s not much more pleasant to watch for me either.”
“Like what, for instance? What do I look like?”
She looks at me, and for a moment, I’m certain her eyes are locked on mine. Don’t ask how I know, I can just feel them. “You have an aura about you. It is bright, and purple, like a star that gives off only violet and ultraviolet light. When I remove my glasses, it dances around you. Sometimes, when you speak softly, I cannot hear you over the crackling sound it makes.”
“Crackling?”
She looks down. “Oui, you know, like electricity.”
“And …” she stops and looks in my direction. As the sun breaks through the clouds above, I can see her eyes in there, darting just above my dome. She turns, following some imaginary trail, and her eyes fix on an old lady in a wrinkled shirt, overcoat, and dirty blue skirt. From here, I can just make out the face, her yellowed teeth beaming in a sea of wrinkles. She’s lifting up her hemline, showing us, and the world, her clean, white panties. It’s Crazy Annie, fresh from the pharmacy at the corner.
I give a fake smile and wave at Annie. She waves back, drops her skirt, and walks off. “We’ve met,” I answer.
“The light I tell you about. It extended all the way to that unfortunate woman. You were bathing her in it. She is only yellow without you.” Dark shakes her head. “Yellow is such a sad color.”
She tells me three times it’s okay to cry. By the second time, I start believing her. When she’s finished, I know more about her than anyone ever has. Pretty damned good interview, if I say so myself.
“So,” she says, standing up. She winces in pain as she rises. “How did I do?”
“You did great,” I say. It’s an honest assessment.
“Bravo! So you will take the job?”
Now I am confused. “What job?”
It’s Dark’s turn to act surprised. “Why, this was a job interview. Did not Mr. Hardesty tell you?” I shake my head no. “I need a partner for … for the thing I cannot discuss,” she says, watching as a crowd goes past. “Mr. Hardesty recommended you, but I insisted on interviewing you myself. He said you would likewise want to know if you could trust me in critical situations.”
But I can’t help laughing; it’s bloody funny. Here I am interviewing her, and all the while, she’s really interviewing me. I tell her my supposed role in our meeting and that it was Hardesty with the worries, not me. She joins me in laughter.
I say, “That explains the public meeting. He wanted to give us a chance to sniff each other out.”
Dark blushes again. “Chocolate, for the record.”
“Because of my skin color.” I’m smiling. Mostly, it’s because I like the way she says, “Sho-co-lat.”
“Oui, most likely. I am sorry.” She looks embarrassed, even hidden behind the big glasses. “It is not usually so literal.” I’m too busy laughing to answer. “I like you too,” she says, smiling now.
We start walking across the street to the metro, and she stops, wincing again. She rubs first her hip, then her thigh, and finally, her knee. “Sorry. I think it is the dampness in the air. They hurt if I sit too long.”
“That’s okay, I have the same issue with my knees.” Then, on impulse, I add, “I’m pretty good with massages, if you need some help.”
She smiles, releasing her knee. “No, merci. I will be fine.”
She starts across the roundabout to the Dupont Circle Metro station. “Ask me again when we get to Cayman,” she says. “Perhaps by then, both our knees will need attention.”
I stop in the middle of the street at that response. I’m not sure if that was the crazy magnet kicking on again, but you know what? I couldn’t care less. I am going to like this new gig.

en | N/A | N/A | Partnership dispute leads to disciplinary action
A joint managing partner and a partner of an accountancy partnership have been reprimanded and ordered to pay their share of a £120,000 disciplinary fine by an ICAEW tribunal.
istock_artisteer_aw
ICAEW excludes late paying accountant
Firm hit with massive fine over unqualified audits
A Limited was a corporate member of B LLP. Its only income was the share of the profits in B LLP. E, Boyden and Harris were partners in B LLP and directors and shareholders in A Limited.
There was a seriously acrimonious partnership dispute between E on the one hand, and Boyden and Harris (and presumably other partners) on the other, resulting from which E reported Boyden and Harris to the ICAEW. This resulted in disciplinary proceedings against Boyden and Harris.
The first three complaints against Boyden and Harris were identical. It was alleged that the CT600 for the year ended 31 March 2010 and 31 March 2012 for A Limited understated profits by £200,000 and £140,000 respectively, compared with the figures appearing in the accounts filed at Companies House. Accounts for A Limited to 31 March 2012 were understated by £140,000, being the share of profit allocated from B LLP.
None of the seven complaints made any allegation of dishonesty.
There were various witnesses, including E, Boyden and Harris. Character references were also given orally.

E CT600s and the accounts. He concluded that the corporation tax liability had been under-declared by at least £70,000.
At the end of the Institute's five-year investigation into the complaint, it was held that Harris was the main protagonist, and he had prepared the accounts and the CT600s.
In relation to the loan, it was said that he had misled the investigators as to the status of the client.
Harris was reprimanded and fined £10,000. He was also ordered to pay costs of £40,000.
Boyden was fined £3,000 and given a reprimand.
The investigation committee sought costs of £151,000. This included Ms H’s time recorded at 191 hours at an hourly rate of £445, or £85,000. The tribunal held that this was an excessive amount. The costs were reduced by £31,000 and divided by three.

It was clearly a fairly complex case and therefore there was a need to engage forensic accountants, particularly as the complaints were denied. Nevertheless, it is astonishing that an expert should be engaged charging at a rate of £445 per hour. It is even more unbelievable that the expert spent 191 hours on the matter. Even if you factor out the expert costs of £85,000, the remaining costs totalled £66,000, which in itself is a considerable sum of money and probably greater than most disciplinary cases in recent years.
In any event, the disciplinary tribunal found that the amount claimed by the investigation committee was excessive. One would hope that this message will be well heeded by senior members of the Institute’s professional conduct department.
It is sad that a partnership dispute should end up before the disciplinary tribunal. The papers hint at one of the defendants having health problems, which is hardly surprising. Disciplinary proceedings inevitably take their toll, particularly those spread over seven days, which in itself is unusual. The five-year investigation would also have weighed heavily on all involved.

Nice little earner for Ms H. Surely, 191 hours should be treated as something lacking rather than just excessive.
If the experts fees were excessive, was it that they consider that she worked too slowly, that she was investigating the wrong or irrelevant avenues, or that her hourly rate was excessive?

en | N/A | N/A | As NBCU's Peacock debuts and consumers grow wary of paying for subscription-based services, experts say more ad-supported video is on the way: "People don't want to spend as much on streaming."
As Disney+, Apple TV+ and other subscription video-on-demand services begin to do battle with Netflix for the global SVOD market, the fight for online advertising is opening up a new front in the streaming wars.
Advertising-backed video-on-demand, or AVOD, dominated talk at CES in Las Vegas in early January, which marks the start of negotiations between media companies, ad agencies and major brands — conversations that will continue through the traditional TV Upfronts and Digital Newfront presentations this spring. On Jan. 13, Fox Corp. TV stations division debuted a new AVOD service, Fox Soul, which will stream ad-backed free content targeting African American audiences in the U.S.
Most significantly, on Jan. 16, Comcast’s NBCUniversal revealed the launch details of Peacock, the streaming platform it will debut April 15 for Xfinity X1 and Flex customers and for additional consumers on July 15. The ad-supported version of the service will be priced at $5 a month for non-cable subscribers, while an ad-free version will cost $10 monthly. In unveiling the service, NBCU outgoing CEO Steve Burke said he expects the service — which will debut with 15,000 hours of TV and film content — to generate2024. And the service will make much of its revenue from ads, not subscriptions, differentiating it from Netflix and its pure-SVOD rivals.
Peacock could be “really reinventing the ad-supported platform with [a] 5 minutes per hour cap and frequency caps,” Benchmark Co. analyst Matthew Harrigan told THR.
Much of the ongoing focus will be on how the Comcast unit plans to integrate ad sales within Peacock’s subscription offering. It’s a similar story with Jo service Quibi, which bows in April offering both ad-backed and pure paid tiers. WarnerMedia’s upcoming HBO Max also is expected to offer an ad-supported tier.
At CES, NBCUniversal introduced One Platform, which aims to create a single ad technology and sales infrastructure across all of its TV and digital properties. NBCU says One Platform will reach some 211 million adults ages 18 and up per month and offer the kind of micro-targeting and real-time feedback advertisers enjoy with commercials placed alongside videos on Facebook or Google-owned YouTube. “Everything on the [Peacock] sizzle reels seems to dovetail with the viable One Platform strategy approach,” said Harrigan.
A lack of this kind of targeted ad placement is one reason why the business of AVOD has lagged behind subscription video-on-demand. Traditional TV ad booking, where networks use broad demographics such as age and gender to sell viewers to brands, have little appeal online, where the audience is increasingly fragmented. But 2020 could prove a tipping point for AVOD, as major players push into the market.
“The rush to AVOD will be supercharged by some of the studios’ direct models such as Disney’s Hulu and NBCUniversal’s Peacock,” says Guy Bisson, director of digital research group Ampere Analysis. Ampere expects revenue from the global AVOD market to top $62 billion by 2024, nearly double the $33.8 billion it generated in 2018.
Last year already saw several major AVOD moves, with Sinclair Broadcasting Group launching its ad-backed streaming platform STIRR, Viacom paying $340 million for AVOD startup Pluto TV and Amazon rebranding its Freedive platform as IMDbTV, adding ad-supported film and TV streaming and rolling out in several European markets.
There also is evidence AVOD is attracting cord-cutters who forgo a cable subscription. In the 10 months leading to November 2019, traffic on Pluto TV, which mainly streams live TV from partners including NBC, Discovery, CNN and the BBC as well as from CBSViacom’s cable channels, has nearly doubled to 20 million unique users a month. “And consumption, in terms of hours watched on the platform, has more than tripled,” Pluto TV CEO Tom Ryan tells THR, adding that half of Pluto TV users are cord-cutters or “cord?nevers”: millennials who have never paid for a cable subscription.
This is all good news for license holders, especially outfits with deep libraries. “AVOD will be a lifeline for distributors and content owners who are struggling with a rapidly changing market, in some cases parent companies who are holding back or locking up content for their SVOD platforms,” says Ampere’s Guy Bisson.winson, chief content officer at Lionsgate- and MGM-backed AVOD streamer Tubi notes, “The vast majority of TV viewing, some 80 to 90 percent, is still ad-supported.” And as viewers migrate away from cable and over-the-air networks, the appeal of free on-demand TV may be hard to beat.
The 2010s, Lewinson admits, was “the decade of Netflix.” But the 2020s could be the decade of AVOD. |

en | N/A | N/A | Recently, I was following a thread on a forum regarding writers' conferences. After some discussion about conferences, someone
Lots of folks answered, "no." Some even said that it was a waste of money to attend more than one conference because once you've been to one, well, you've "been there, done that."
Now, let me preface my dissent by saying before you plunk down a substantial chunk of cash for a conference, you should decide why you are going. Be realistic. Do you expect to walk out with an offer for your book? Offers at conferences are rare. What you need to do in addition to dreaming big is to set a reasonable goal. Is that goal worth the money?
Now, there are plenty of other reasons to go to conferences. I attend several a year. I don't go because I want to learn what an agent does, how to query an agent, or how to write a synopsis. I'm pretty well versed on those topics, but sometimes I attend workshops on them because it's nice to have different people's takes on agent basics. You can never know everything.
I have a secret third criterion: Does it look like fun?
Okay. The third one is subjective. I must say though, that if you've ever attended an RWA or RWA chapter conference, you know what I'm talking about. RWA conferences are flat-out fun. Compared to the multi-genred conferences I attend, there seems to be a higher proportion of published authors who just go to sell books, hang out and have fun.
I attended an RWA chapter conference in Dallas last weekend and had a blast. The hotel internet went down so everyone hung out at the bar after the sessions were over for the day. Not only did I get to catch up with local writers who had driven up from Houston like I had, I met writers from all over the country. New friends. I loved it. I came home energized and ready to write. If you aren't a social person, this networking aspect might not appeal.
My goal for this most recent conference was simple. I attended for the express purpose of meeting other writers--especially those with extensive publishing experience. The workshops were great, but I learned more from sitting around in the bar with other writers. It's nice to come out of seclusion and socialize with other people who have been holed up behind their computers, too. Writing is a lonely job. Conferences take the sting out.
Okay. Is a big, fun, networking party worth hundreds of dollars? For me it is, but for most unpublished authors, pitching is the primary purpose of a conference. I totally get that. All I'm saying is, before you go to the next one, decide, "What's in it for me?"
I came out of this last conference with exactly what I'd hoped for: New friends, excellent connections and some killer writing tips.
I'm headed to a conference today, in fact. Alas, it's not a fun writers' conference. It's a boring legal conference. I'm going to keep hubby company. Yawn. It's okay. I'm taking my computer in the hopes of cranking out some chapters.
Mary can also be found on her website.

Writer's conferences should come with a warning: This conference is highly addictive. ;)
I've been two SCBWI NYC annual winter conferences (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illutrators) and loved them. Very inspiring. If you pick one that meets your needs, they really are worth it. But, as Mary pointed out, don't go there expecting to land a contract. You won't. But do go there with an open mind, a desire to learn, and a willingness to meet new people.
April 15, 2009 at 10:46 AM
Great post as always. I'm wondering if any of you fab QT authors might be able to suggest where I can find info on conferences that might be coming to the Boise area? Idaho isn't exactly a literary hub, so to speak. We do have a master-class editing workshop coming to Boise, but as far as I can tell, its not the kind of event that I would expect to see agents attending.
I have to agree with Mary that fun is a huge factor in attending these events. I go to a lot of conferences with my fire chief hubby and I know that along with the classes and networking, the social aspect plays a huge part in how well you connect with the conference as a whole.
April 15, 2009 at 11:04 AM
LOL, Stina! And so true. :)
Mandy, one group you could join is Pacific Northwest Writers. They have a Yahoo group where writers share info about events.
Are you a member of Idaho Writer's League? They have workshops and info about conferences as well.
I will let you know if I hear about any others.

Excellent - this is the topic I've been pondering for awhile. I'm planning on attending the two week Writer Workshop hosted by a nearby university. I'm not looking for an agent yet - my novel is too unpolished. I'm hoping for some tips while polishing it.

I totally agree with Mary. I go to a few each year and have found that pitching your project to an agent or editor almost NEVER happens, but what DOES happen is meeting tons of new friends that end up either referring you to their own agents OR dramatically helping you in your journey as you share critiques of each others work, etc....
OH MAN, that was ONE sentence! hahaha. I'm sure I broke some kind of writing rule.
Anyhoo... Conferences are a blast and a great way to connect with other writers in a sometimes solitary profession.

"You can never know everything."
So well said. I hope to attend some writer's conferences in the future. Thank you for this post. It will definitely help me decide why and what I want to attend. :D
Thanks for this. There's a conference coming to Colorado in Sept, and I was planning on going to it. Since this my first attendance at one of these, I appreciate the post. Now I have a better idea of what to expect and why I should go. |

(If your stored procedure does not take arguments then you don’t have to this, rather, just create the pass-throgh query once with dummy code, then do your insert query, then finalyze your pass-through). Then I tried using the QBE window in Access, but in doing so the system wanted to execute my pass-through query to get the column names from my stored procedure. Not good, since it would kick-off my action queries on the server and cause havoc to my data! Instead I wrote my insert insert query using SQL view in Access, when I went to save the query it still wanted to execute my pass-through, but I had not saved the connection string, so there was no harm done.

Antoine kom tillbaka och visade dem runt i huset. Han hade öppnat samtliga fönster. Korsdraget drog genom rummen och smällde igen dörrarna efter sig. De gick in i köket som hade köksluckor av trä, gasspis och ett bulligt, brummande kylskåp. I mitten av köket stod ett matbord med mosaikskiva och fyra stolar med halmsits. På diskbänken hade någon ställt en flaska rosévin och en förpackning jordnötter. Madame Dupont, gissade Cecilia.
"Som ni säkert minns av ritningarna är planlösningen enkel", sa Antoine och gick vidare. "Entréplanet består av köket, ett kombinerat vardagsrum/matrum och en toalett. På övervåningen finns de fyra sovrummen, alla lika stora, ett badrum och en toalett."
Gabriel nickade åt allt som Antoine sa, följde honom tätt i hälarna från rum till rum och tyckte att det mesta var pittoreskt och underbart. Cecilia suckade. Det var som om hennes blindstyre till man inte såg de slitna möblerna, sprickan i porslinshon och smutsfläckarna på väggarna. Inte heller lade han märke till att köksluckorna hängde snett eller kände fuktlukten i badrummet. Visst, det svartvitmönstrade stengolvet som låg i hela huset var vackert och de färgglada kakelplattorna ovanför diskbänken likaså. Den öppna spisen i vardagsrummet gick faktiskt att elda i och inte heller utsikten från sovrummen, två av dem var vända mot havet och de andra två mot bergen, gick att klaga på. Faktum var att tanken på att väckas av soluppgången och blicka ut över ett disigt Medelhav, var riktigt angenäm.
De gick ner till källaren och klev in i ett stort fönsterlöst rum där kartonger och uttjänta möbler stod staplade på varandra. Cecilia nös fyra gånger på raken.
"Vi befinner oss nu under terrassen men eftersom huset är byggt på en sluttning ligger halva källaren ovan jord", sa Antoine. "Slänger ni ut allt bråte, slår ut ett par fönster och gör om tvättstugan intill till ett badrum, har ni ett perfekt utrymme att hyra ut."
"Lysande", sa Gabriel med en röst som darrade av upphetsning. "Men borde inte detta bli vår egen privata svit, Cecilia? Så kan vi ha hela övervåningen som uthyrningsdel. Vad tycker du?"
"Jag tycker att det låter som mycket jobb. Och dyrt", svarade hon.
Kände hon Gabriel rätt skulle det inte bli mycket av med den där sviten. Han skulle tröttna halvvägs.
"Hinner ombyggnaden verkligen bli klar på en månad?"
Så hade hon återigen agerat glädjedödare, men hon var trött på fantasierna. Någon måste vara realist och Antoine skulle knappast ta på sig den rollen, inte efter att ha eldat upp Gabriel som han gjort. Huset var byggt i slutet av femtiotalet och i originalskick och skulle kräva mycket av såväl deras tid som Gabriels pengar.
"Vem ska ordna med en ansiktslyftning och vad kommer det att kosta?" sa hon trots att hon inte fått svar på sin förra fråga ännu.
Både Gabriel och hon hade kontorshänder och ingen som helst erfarenhet av vare sig hus eller trädgård. Att måla om några väggar borde de klara av, men allt annat?
Hon svalde. Varför hetsa upp sig? Oavsett vad Gabriel själv trodde, skulle han ändå börja längta hem till sitt kära Stockholm genast han fått sitt första ryggskott, vilket inte borde dröja, att döma av alla hans renoveringsidéer.
Gabriel hade mulnat igen men molnen drog förbi när Antoine försäkrade dem att trakten hade gott om yrkeskunnigt folk som såg fram emot arbetstillfällen och inte skulle lura skjortan av dem. Han skulle be den lokala byggherren, monsieur Parras att höra av sig.
De lämnade den dammiga källaren och gick upp till tamburen igen. Antoine gav dem varsin nyckelknippa.
"Förresten", sa Gabriel när han tog emot sin. "Hur går det med lagfarten? Borde vi inte ha fått den vid det här laget?"
"Det slutgiltiga köpebrevet, menar du? Det är notarien som sköter den biten och jag har skickat henne alla de underlag som behövs. Nu är det bara att vänta. Räkna med att det kan ta upp till sex månader innan allt är klart", svarade Antoine och gav Gabriel en klapp på axeln. "Var inte orolig, grabben, jag var också förvånad i början men det funkar på det viset här; juristerna styr. Precis som hemma hos dig, _n'est-ce pas_?" fortsatte han och blinkade menande mot Cecilia som till sin förtret rodnade.
Gabriel gnäggade som svar och Cecilia ilsknade till. Vem trodde sprätten Antoine att han var? Och framför allt – vilka trodde han att de var? Kusinerna från landet som man kunde skoja om?
"Gabriels fråga är berättigad", kontrade hon med sin advokatröst. "Ska det verkligen ta så lång tid som ett halvår?"
Antoine skulle inte inbilla sig att det räckte med en mycket platt mage, ett par synnerligen vältränade ben och en sängkammarblick för att få henne att tappa fattningen.
"Två till tre månader brukar annars vara det vanliga", fortsatte hon. "Längre tid ska det inte ta för notarien att få tillbaka akten från hypotekskontoret i Perpignan. Inte om mäklaren gjort ett ordentligt förarbete, vill säga. Dessutom tillhör det inte vanligheterna att man får nycklarna till huset innan allt är klart. Hur lyckades du med det? Mutade du fru _notaire_ med en liten _tête à tête?"_ sa Cecilia och tackade tyst kollegan på jobbet som berättat om hur husköp i Frankrike brukade gå till.
Det var nu Antoines tur att rodna. "Jag måste dra vidare", sa han och tittade på klockan. "Jag har en tid att passa. Speceributiken nere i byn stänger klockan åtta så ni hinner handla det nödvändigaste. Storhandlar gör man på Carrefour i grannbyn. _Salut!"_
Han skakade hand med Gabriel och kysste Cecilia farligt nära läpparna innan han försvann ut.
"Vad handlade det där om?" sa Gabriel och såg efter Antoine. "Har jag missat något, eller?"
Värmen, resan och luftombytet började ta ut sin rätt och Cecilia sträckte på sig och kvävde en gäspning |

PMCID: PMC4169712. </s> The Wood Anemone is the most delightful of native plants, and among the natural variation are a wonderful array of forms. It is very easy to name new variations, some of which prove to be valuable, and some eventually prove to be worthless, but in the process untold confusion is generated. Many years ago I started raising the little buggers from seed, and I am guilty of selecting out a number of seedlings that seem to me to have special merit, but I may be wrong. In the meantime I am collecting together all of the named cultivars that I can get hold of for comparison, and for the delight of growing them.
I suffer from volcanic eruptions of pretentiousness from time to time, and during one such up-spewing of egotism I decided to plant nothing but blue ones in the top of the woodland. Most of the plants up there were raised from seed in 1983, but I have added a few of the named cultivars as well.
The blue forms are sometimes referred to as Anemone nemorosa var coerulea, and they are a local speciality of the flora, however it seems to me that the populations with blue flowered plants are declining rapidly - they used to occur in the north of the county, but I haven't seen them. The closest I have seem are slightly blue tinged whites around Camelford. I don't know if this is because the white forms are out competing them, or because people collect the deeper colours for their gardens. It would be modern and trendy to blame people, but I don't ever see them in gardens locally, and some of the populations that have collapsed catastrophically are well off the beaten track. I suspect that there is an environmental bogeyman at work, but I cant easily identify one. The very best population I knew has now entirely gone. I suspect that the tree canopy became too thick, and the bluebells underneath have become so dense that the ground is too dry to support the Anemones during spring.
I try to plant the pinkish seedlings all together under a sycamore tree behind the house, but the pink colour is unreliable and some years they all look white. </s> Image Title:or Artwork For Living Room Decor.

Ridge Vineyards ATP Grenache, Sonoma, California 2004. This wine was brought in specifically for this tasting. It was not available in the big tasting room, or for purchase in the festival liquor store. Grenache is not widely planted in California so it is a treat to see how the grape thrives there. This wine had vanilla and dark fruit aromas. Dry up front, with medium body. Savory and dark fruit flavours.
Langmeil GSM Three Garden, Australia 2009. GSM stands for Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre. A blend. This blend had the least amount of Grenache in it. Olives and savory aromas in the glass. Medium body, with dark fruit and olive flavours. Soft mouthfeel with low tannins.
Seppeltsfield Fortified Grenache Rose, Australia, NV. Another sweet fortified wine. Light, salmony coloured. Bright aromatics with raspberry and caramel. Medium sweetness, with strawberry and spice flavour. Medium length.

en | N/A | N/A | One or two Europeans are movers, but most are shakers.
When it came down to taking action, the US turned to the UK and France. Some in Europe have tried to explain this as joint action only by the three like-minded members of the UN Security Council. But it goes much deeper than that.
The fact is that Europe was deeply divided, including domestically, about whether or not to support the strikes. This disarray when it comes to exercising power and defending the principles underlying the West is deeply troubling. And it is being exploited and fostered by countries such as Russia, which have a clear interest in keeping Europe divided.
Beyond France and the UK (which, of course, won’t be an EU member for much longer), reactions have been very weak and fragile indeed. Some Europeans – Austria, Hungary, Cyprus, Malta, Sweden, Finland, and the like – have expressed misgivings about (or downright opposition to) the joint missile attacks. Most of them argue that military action only makes the situation worse, and instead support revitalising the UN-sponsored Geneva talks among the Syrian parties.
A subsequent meeting of EU foreign ministers said much the same thing, adding that they hoped a conference on Syria called for next week might pressure the Assad regime and its allies to “put an end to the suffering and the dying of so many Syrians”. And they, of course, stood ready to provide non-military (including diplomatic) support to any peace settlement. Bold action indeed.
Germany also needs to lead on such issues, commensurate with its economic and strategic weight in Europe and globally. We all understand the difficulties it has faced in forming a new government, and the limits on the use of its power Germany feels as a result of its history. But it is vital that Germany becomes a mover again.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s meetings this week and next in Europe will enable him not only to pursue Australia’s interests but also to make an assessment, on the ground, of the strengths, weaknesses, priorities, and preoccupations of key European countries and their leaders. It will also give him an insight into the huge challenges facing Europe and the West. It is very timely. |

It could be more effective than the one you have and, if it's not, you can constantly trade it into the teacher to obtain power-ups to develop your other Pokémon. Want to seem like a real Pokémon Master? Toss curve balls at Pokémon by tapping on your Poké Ball and after that spinning the ball around for a few seconds. Then toss it towards the side of your screen and view it curve back to hit your target. Throwing a curve likewise offers you a benefit on XP. Connecting a lure to a Pokémon GO PokéStop in Dreeite Victoria 3249 is a terrific method to catch a lots of in a short quantity of time. You can choose them up in the shop. They last 30 minutes each and will likewise assist other players near the PokeStop. They appear for everyone and can be caught by every individual in your area when Pokémon appear. As such, searching in sets (or perhaps groups) is motivated: Not just is it fun to banter with good friends while roaming your area for Pokémon, however you can also cover more ground as you aim to find out simply where that three-footstep Kadabra may be concealing.
Where can I find Ice Pokémon in Dreeite Victoria
You should run multiple of these Pokemon, meaning you should use 3 to 4 copies of the basic Pokemon, and 3 to 4 copies of its evolutions. This gives you a high chance of getting this Pokemon to play and also provides you with a better chance of getting several of this Pokemon in play. You'll need to work out the special numbers to see what works best for you.
When we got to the park, there were no kidding at least thirty people there with phones outside, mostly in little groups. Google it). So that made it a fairly popular area.
Lastly, fill the remainder of your deck with trainer cards. You may want to use around 21 to 29 trainers. A good hunk of that quota should be trainers that let you get your Pokemon to play quicker. Most assistant cards can help you do this. Make sure you use at least a couple of exercise devices that have skills that can assist you by removing damage, recovering knocked out Pokemon, or changing your Pokemon around. Don't use all trainers that help you get Pokemon outside; you will kind it to be overkill. I hope this advice makes it possible to get started on your way to becoming a Pokemon card master. Don't forget to keep trying a different card mix to figure out what works best for you!
We left at 8 pm -- still light in Denver -- and headed to the nearest park. There were five kids, and Leti and myself as the two adults. As we headed down the road, phones outside (it is kind of a requirement to play), we passed two individuals walking back from the park, additionally telephones outside. They laughed and waved -- that telephone in hand with the display on is a dead giveaway which you are playing Pokemon Go.
Assembling a deck in the Pokemon Trading Card Game is one of the most daunting endeavors in all of the Pokemon. There are so many cards out there, yet you are restricted to a total of just 60 cards in your deck. How do you understand which Pokemon cards to put in and how many of each?
A good total for the number of Pokemon you use in your deck should be around 17 to 23. Next, you should pick which energy you need to play in your deck. Naturally, you may want to match up the energy with the 1 or 2 types of assaulting Pokemon you are using in your deck. The absolute number of energy you use in your deck can range from 14 to 16, but totals lower than those numbers can be effective depending on which Pokemon are used.
I first heard about, but dismissed, Pokemon Go on 5 July, the day the app launched in the US. My kids both asked me for the game that afternoon, which I confess I said yes to without even looking at the game because it is Pokemon, right?
That is a fancy way of saying, you walk around in real life, catch virtual Pokemon in an AR setting, and train and battle at virtual world gyms in real world locations. If you need to find out more about it, you pretty much only must type "pop" in your Google search bar, and you'll find plenty.
"It'd have been better if they had taken the time to reflect on these and set their youthful users first. "Pokemon Go is setting a precedent as the most successful reality game app out there. It is really disappointing that child safety isn't at its heart."
There are three types of cards you will be putting in your Pokemon deck: Pokemon, Trainers, and Energy. The first of this trio you'll need to concentrate on is the actual Pokemon. If you are selecting which Pokemon cards to use in your deck, I urge that you narrow your focus to just 1 or 2 attacking Pokemon.
Many of the game's biggest supporters are children with charities criticizing the game developers for not taking on board "well-documented kid safety dilemmas", Mirror reports. NSPCC released a statement saying: "It Is profoundly troubling that the app's owners have dismissed many warning signals and well-documented child security issues.
And then this weekend, I lost my children. They left with buddies in the morning on Saturday and did not return until late that afternoon, sweaty and rejoicing -- "I'm a level 5!" my daughter proudly proclaimed. And then they ditched me again -- and their chores -- on Sunday. Sunday evening, my pal Leti, who's also the mother of twins the same age as my son (and his best friends), insisted that I download the app and go with them to hunt Pokemon.
While the game has only just formally started in the united kingdom, British folks have been able to play on the app since it launched in the US by changing their phone settings. While the exact figure is unknown, cellular supplier EE has shown more than 350,000 people on its network alone have already been using the app. As a consequence of the Pokemon Go's runaway global success, programmer Nintendo's share price has risen by 50 per cent over the last week.
Best location to find and catch Nidorino in 3249
To make sure a Pokémon GO PokéStop in Dreeite VIC 3249 doesn't bust out of the first ball you throw, begin by pulling a Razz Berry from your pack to make it docile. You don't get access to Razz Berries up until Level 8 in Pokémon Go, however once you do, ensure to keep plenty in stock for the rare Pokémon. Right prior to you evolve your Pokemon, ensure to turn on a Lucky Egg to get double the XP. Progressing Pokemon and capturing a new Pokemon both offer 500 XP, which doubles to 1000 if you have a fortunate egg activated, making it much quicker to level up. While you can discover Pokémon almost anywhere, if you wish to find lots of Pokémon, you wish to go to an inhabited area. Cities are a respectable beginning point, however we choose parks-- specifically parks with a great body of water, or saltwater beach parks-- for the supreme Pokémon catching experience. Different surface will help you find different kinds of Pokémon, while parks with numerous Pokémon GO PokéStop in Dreeite VIC guarantee that you will not lose Poké Balls while searching. (In our screening, PokéStops likewise encourage the spawning of more Pokémon-- specifically if you connect a lure. |

en | N/A | N/A | Parents get tired; I understand this. Tired of reminding kids to pick up their room, take out the trash, put away the dishes, put clothes in the hamper and do their homework. It’s usually a battle, especially when the child hits adolescence. The back and forth, when the kid gets older, gets punctuated with grumbling, back talk and behavior involving outright defiance.
I wish therapists were consistent in the way we guide the parent of a reluctant child.
Quite a difference in approach; I wish there were one clear correct choice.
I’ve been on both sides of this argument but one observation I’ll make is a child’s attitude about responsibility does not emerge as a teenager. Our modeling, expectations and requirements go together to help form the child’s personality. Those parents who say, “I don’t know where my kid gets this attitude. They have always been responsive and responsible.” I am a tad skeptical.
Yes, adolescence is a time of rebelliousness but when I see elementary and middle school students defy their parents and teachers I understand this is usually not a sudden behavior. Kids who are defiant usually start young and too often the parents are reluctant, afraid or unsure how to require compliance.
So when parents come into my office with complaints “out of the blue, my kid won’t heed what I say” this is rarely the case; sometimes but not usually. More often, the parent has been slowly ceding turf to their child, finally something drastic happens and the parents are wondering why their son or daughter simply won’t listen.
Some parents never have to resort to “an assertion of authority” because they have always been involved with the development and maturity of their kids. When their child started to drift they reeled them in — with affection and discipline — so the big blowup never materialized.
This is true for many, many families but when the student crosses the line and will not be reasoned with, this is the time to put down the newspaper, pull off the glasses and make sure time is made to have a talk. If this is done all the way along, the big blowout called adolescence will be much softer. |

en | N/A | N/A | Lenovo reportedly weighing BlackBerry purchase
Following rumors that BlackBerry isLenovo is weighing a purchase of BlackBerry and has signed a non-disclosure agreement in order to take a look at the Canadian firm's books.
Lenovo isn't a huge name in the North American mobile market, but the company has a large presence in China and has expressed interest in breaking into the U.S. smartphone game. Buying BlackBerry could be one way to help Lenovo to do just that. It's also worth noting that Lenovo's CEO has previously said that he's open to making acquisitions, including in the smartphone world, in order to help boost sales.
Right now it sounds like the talks between Lenovo and BlackBerry are at an early stage and so it's possible that nothing will come of these talks. Still, the situation is dthat BlackBerry has already agreed to be purchased by Fairfax Financial for $4.7 billion. If the Canadian device maker agrees to a different offer before Fairfax's due diligence period, it would be forced to pay a breakup fee. Stay tuned for more details as I get 'em.

Take a walk to Plaza San Francisco
Small streets surrounded by old ranches bmurals and street art along the way. In the plaza the building of the San Francisco church stands out, a temple built thanks to the contribution of Don José Tiravanti, an Italian engineer who arrived to Peru in 1850 and was mayor of Barranco in 1887. He designed the church for the Franciscan congregation, for this reason the square is called Plaza San Francisco. Unfortunately, this building did not withstand the passage of time, modifications were made and the current church has modern lines without losing beauty and sobriety in its design.

en | N/A | N/A | Stock market volatility got you down? Then mangia! Have some more pasta and breadsticks from the Olive Garden. Apparently, you wont be alone.
Darden Restaurants, owner of the popular Italian food chain, reported earnings that easily beat forecasts on Friday morning thanks to continued sales gains at the Olive Garden.
The company also raised its outlook for this fiscal year (for the second quarter in a row), announced a new stock buyback plan and boosted its dividend. Wall Street always likes to see those things on the menu.
Shares of Darden (DRI) shot up 7% Friday on the news -- even as the broader market was in the midst of day 2 of its post-Fed rate hike hangover.
Darden's stock is now up nearly 20% this year. Its been a stunning turnaround for the overall company -- and Olive Garden in particular. The company has now reported seven consecutive quarters of sales growth.
Related: Olive Garden brings back its Pasta Pass
Activist hedge fund and Darden shareholder Starboard Value Partners -- which is also rattling the corporate cages at Yahoo (YHOO, Tech30) and armored truck company Brink's (BCO)-- went on a campaign against it last year.
In September 2014, it released a scathing 294-slide presentation that criticized Olive Garden for not salting its pasta water, putting too much sauce (or what this Italian American would call gravy) on its food, and having too many non-Italian items on the menu.
Starboard also said Olive Garden was wasting too much food. A month later, Starboard won a battle to take control of the company's board.
CEO Clarence Otis soon left. COO Gene Lee was promoted to the top spot, and Starboard CEO Jeff Smith became the company's chairman.
Since then, Darden has taken several steps to boost sales and profits at Olive Garden, which accounts for more than 55% of Darden's total sales.
Darden also owns LongHorn Steakhouse and The Capital Grille. It sold Red Lobster to a private equity firm last year.
Olive Garden's total sales were up 1.2% in its most recent quarter. But profits grew nearly 12% -- a testament to all the things its new management team has done to make the restaurant's operations more efficient.
The company also decided to spin off its real estate holdings into a separate company called Four Corners Property Trust (FCPT) last month, a move many shareholders had been calling for. Shares of Four Corners Property Trust rose more than 3% Friday.
Related: Starboard executives waited tables at Olive Garden
Still, one not-so-great trend has continued at Olive Garden. The company's traffic fell slightly in the quarter. But sales still rose thanks to price increases.
In other words, many diehard Olive Garden fans keep coming back and are happy to pay more for their neverending pasta bowls.
But that doesn't seem to concern Wall Street -- and that might be due to the fact that LongHorn Steakhouse has emerged as the star of the company's dining portfolio.
Sales at LongHorn Steakhouse rose nearly 6% during the quarter while profits soared 28%. LongHorn Steakhouse now accounts for nearly a quarter of Darden's overall revenue.
The combination of strong growth at LongHorn Steakhouse and stability at Olive Garden seems to be a recipe for success at Darden.
It's definitely a contender for comeback stock of the year -- although it faces tough competition for that honor from an even bigger and more well-known restaurant franchise.
McDonald's (MCD) stock is up nearly 25% this year thanks to steps taken by new CEO Steve Eastebrook to shake up the Golden Arches.

I'd love to read this, to find out things like how he met Bingley. With the age gap I've always wondered.
I love books that analyze Darcy's character, so this sounds fantastic!
Why should I NOT want to read it? I mean...it's a book about Darcy <3
I love Jane Austen's books and I would love to have a book about Darcy.
I love delving into the motivations behind the characters.
Thank you all, so very much for your enthusiasm about my book and best of luck in the giveaway! You might be interested to know my story did not start out to be a book. I, like many of you, have always wanted to know more about Jane Austen’s enigmatic, Mr. Darcy. There are so many contradictions in his character that I embarked on a quest to learn what the life of a Georgian gentleman would have been like. My days, weeks, and months of collecting and pouring through period reference books, letters and diaries, maps, indentures &c. somehow evolved into Fitzwilliam Darcy such I was. I hope you will read and enjoy my story of Darcy’s life BE (Before Elizabeth) as much as I enjoyed writing it. Again, good luck to all. |

I’ve been attending BAFICI —— for 16 years now. That’s every year since I first arrived in Argentina, a doe-eyed teenager excited to face whatever the future had in store for me. And every year it’s been an embarrassment of riches, showcasingexciting films from all corners of the globe. Every single year, I come away with a brand new obscure favorite to tell people about.
Every single year except, of course, 2020. One year ago, my favorite film festival and cherished annual tradition happened to coincide with the beginning of a global pandemic, one where spending lots of time in close proximity with strangers in an air-conditioned room wasn’t exactly a great idea. For the first time since I arrived in 2005, there was no BAFICI. And honestly, in a year full of tremendous bummers, it felt silly to complain about that particular loss.
But I felt it. I missed it. And if, like me, you still have complicated feelings about the idea of going to the movie theater while the pandemic is still very much a thing (as we mentioned last time around, film theaters are slowly coming back with a bunch of safety measures in place), worry not; this year’s festival is operating in a hybrid streaming/screening format, with most of its over 270 films made available to watch online. Not only that, but many of the in-person screenings will take place outdoors.
The festival kicked off yesterday, Wednesday 17th, and runs until the 28th, providing ample opportunity to check out its wide and varied catalogue. This includes feature and short films of all genres; from the dourest drama to the wackiest comedies and most experimental animation. You can find all the information, including screening times and all the festival-related activities, on its official website.
We took a look at this year’s lineup and came up with a quick list of recommendations. Of course, this is a tiny tiny sampling of all the cool stuff they have available this year, and we’ll likely be kicking ourselves within a couple hours of posting this piece for missing some important ones.
A new film by director Abel Ferrara, starring the incomparable Willem Dafoe (who, true story, got really annoyed with me once). This powerful, sometimes difficult picture tells the semi-autobiographical (but not really, but sort of, but not really) story of a sulleDee Dee is also the name of my cat, but that’s neither here nor there.
Here’s a bit of melancholy weirdness from Japan, courtesy of Eiichi Imamura. A blogger is involved in a violent crime and, as he attempts to escape, he ends up running over a young woman. The young woman happens to be a zombie. This leads to a delightfully strange, deeply unconventional but no less poignant road movie, which vacillates between deepest darkness and whimsical comedy.
Kacey Rohl (whom you might recognize as “that girl from Hannibal“) stars in this dark drama by co-directors Yonah Lewis and Calvin Thomas about a young woman who has accomplished everything she ever wanted: she’s a campus celebrity, people adore her, and she has a loving and caring girlfriend. The way she gets all this, however, is by faking a cancer diagnosis and putting her story out on the internet. Cool. A very cool thing to do.
Carmen Vidal, Mujer Detective
I knew nothing of this movie before it caught my eye in this year’s lineup, and I was immediately sold by its poster (see link below). The trailer was just icing on the cake. This black comedy by director Eva Dans follows Carmen Vidal, a detective whose colleague commits suicide. She is forced to interrupt her cycle of pizza and marihuana to investigate, leading to many wacky hijinks if the trailer is to be believed. This looks like a buttload of fun.
Speaking of buttloads of fun, here’s an animated feature from Denmark about a boy whose dreams of attending a kickass street party are thrown off course by his parents’ sad divorce. This irreverent, often crude comedy with a heart, by the directorial team of Mikael Wulff and Anders Morgenthalerseems, seems exactly like the lighthearted entertainment we need in light of all of last year’s darkness.
Club Internacional Aguerridos
I’ve always found that BAFICI’s music-related movies are some of my favorites from each years’ festival. Whether they be traditional rock docs, experimental weirdness set to song, or the occasional full-on musical, there’s something about these movies that always seems to grab me. This is a Mexican film by director Leandro Córdova which follows a young man from an affluent family who “infiltrates” Mexico’s crust-punk scene, and is quickly assimilated by it.
Another mind-melting, experimental oddity by legendary Russian animator Andrei Khrzhanovsky, who employs a mix of styles and techniques to tell this wild tale, based on an opera by Shostakovich. Sure, we’re in.
Finally, it wouldn’t be BAFICI without a documentary about a much-loved (or sometimes much-maligned) piece of filmmaking. This time around, director Jeffrey McHale’s You Don’t Nomi examines the legacy of, and pays tribute to, one of the absolute weirdest films of the 1990s: the bright, glittery, extremely nude and often incoherent madness that is Showgirls.

VETERAN PRODUCER CLIVE HUNT LOOKS FORWARD TO 2017!
Clive Hunt— Because he learned the ropes working alongside masters like Geoffrey Chung, Clive Hunt considers himself a "music producer, not a record producer". In these times of multi-song rhythms and one-hit producers, Hunt continues to thrive using the method that brought visionaries like Lee 'Scratch' Perry and Glen Brown acclaim in Jamaica and abroad.

en | N/A | N/A | "We looked into something that was not even understudied "it was unstudied until our investigation," says Behnood Bikdeli, MD New Haven, Conn. "That, despite the fact that this may have a potential impact on patient outcomes."
To most physicians, the combination just doesn't make sense: Why give patients fluids when they're already overloaded and you're trying to get fluid off?
"It may be that as the use of EMRs becomes more routine, IV fluids are a part of order sets or EMR-driven recommendations," Dr. Bikdeli notes, adding that the data used in the study were from 2009-10. Given that the use of electronic order sets is now more prevalent than it was then, "I'd guess that data now are either similar or maybe slightly worse."
"With heart failure patients, clinicians commonly maintain a yin-yang between diuretics and fluids over the course of a hospitalization, bouncing back and forth as diuresed patients get too 'dry,' " he says. "We wanted to look at simultaneous therapy, not sequential treatments being given in response to one another."
"Some hospitals may be doing a better job triaging patients," he notes, "as well as communicating and handing patients off."
What should hospitals do to find out if their own clinicians are administering dual therapy inadvertently?
"Perhaps this dual prescribing is unintentional, or perhaps patients receiving fluids may be sicker with, say, an acute infection, so the fluids contain antibiotics," he says. "With patient-level data, we should be able to tease out which proportion of such potential scenarios is real."
Pop-up alerts, for instance, "are being used commonly for other conditions or medications," he notes. "We can use those for IV fluids being ordered electronically for patients admitted with potential decompensated heart failure."
"An alert is a very low-hanging fruit that almost all hospitals with an EMR can easily implement," he points out. "It would at least add another layer of support." |

en | N/A | N/A | MORRISSEY-Autobiography.
There is something quite emotional about picking up a book that your hero has written about their life. Knowing you are about to read things about them that you never knew- will it change your view on them? Will it change how you feel about certain songs? Will you be shocked? One thing happened after I finished reading Morrissey’s autobiography today; my love for him became stronger and reinforced why he is my absolute hero. I know heroes are meant to be people who save lives and the like. But the thing is, Morrissey saved my life- that’s why he’s my hero. I’ll take it to my grave debating if it was a life worth saving or not, but he was there when I had nothing or no one. He always will be. His words mean more to me now, after reading his biography.
Morrissey is the person who has dragged me kicking and screaming through life when I didn’t see a point. At times I still don’t see a point, but I play a Morrissey song and I hear hope. I hear hope that will carry me through. Of course, he is my light that will never go out. His charm and wit is an honour to be familiar with on a daily basis. Some may regard his autobiography as 457 pages of self-pitying. It really really isn’t. He is telling his life story, his way. There are stories that will make you cry, stories that will make you laugh- much like his songs. When asked a question at school, he replies with “I’m sorry, I’m not interested.” It was obvious that from a young age that this young boy was destined to be the voice of those who needed to be heard in a way that only Morrissey understood and could express.
There are many stories in his book that are just a pleasure to read, but there is one paragraph that spoke to me instantly and will remain etched upon my heart and brain:
Morrissey fans of the world, unite and take over.

en | N/A | N/A | I work o with a main emphasis on England and Scotland and a secondary focus on France. My interests are the rise and theory of the novel, the work of David Hume, , and the intellectual history of the Enlightenment. I was born and raised in Brazil, and I hold an M.ASão Paulo (2006) and a PhD in English from Johns Hopkins University (2015). After obtaining my degree I held a postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins aMy surname, should you decide to use it, is pronounced My-OH-ly, but I am very comfortable with first names. Plain “Roger” is always welcome.
My new book project, provisionally entitled The Enlightenment Crisis of Values, is the first full-length study of Enlightenment relativism. The book begins by showing that a wide range of authors in both Britain and France came to associate the philosophical tendencies of the eighteenth century with a possible collapse of traditional normative boundaries — betweenmen and women, and Europeans and “barbarians”; and I proceed to suggest that the vast majority of these authors tried to counter this tendency, trying to keep relativism at bay by “upgrading” the old distinctions on new philosophical grounds. In the process, they not only salvaged values that we remain invested in (such as ethical distinctions and the notion of basic human entitlements) but also revitalized old prejudices we are still struggling to overcome. This is a long-term project that shall keep me busy for a few more years, as it has sent me after a wide variety of genres — essays, philosophical treatises, personal letters, legal documents, poetry, prose fiction, and history; the book’s goal is to recover the centrality of relativism as an eighteenth-century cultural phenomenon and in the process develop a picture of the Enlightenment’s afterlife that acknowledges both its positive and its regrettable legacies. |

the end of the reign of Queen Smith. She was the longest reigning and most beloved of all the rulers of Arad. Her scheduled execution will take place on the twenty-first of January at 07:00 Wednesday morning, Eastern European Time. Her chariot will carry her to the executioner's office tonight at the hour of 15:00 EET. Many tears were shed as the subjects of her kingdom greatly mourn the loss of their beloved monarch.

Member/Investigator updates:
Doing awesome. Was so sad to see me go. The Elders are teaching her husband in prison. He says he hasn't seen Maria so happy in a long time and he wants to get baptized when he's released (summer of next year). If it has made such a difference in her life, there's no way this isn't the true church.
lesson, and Ghiti 100% wants to be baptized but is waiting for Mariana so they won't create a problem in their marriage. After a really powerful lesson on Saturday, she now sees the importance of our message and what it has to offer her. She says she knows the BOM is true. She committed to praying about baptism and said that if her prayer is answered she and Ghiti will both be baptized. Woo hoo!! She was also so sad to see me go.
of pictures with a lot of the members. There were tears shed. It was sad. But it also feels okay. Fratele Piper (1st counselor) talked to the branch about me and said I was the longest term serving missionary to ever be in Arad. Well, that's cool! I certainly loved it and wouldn't
have wished to have gone anywhere else. I AM THE ARAD SISTER AND ALWAYS
I will miss all of these wonderful people!
My Wonderful Arad District
Me and Sora Routson
I gave a talk and pretty much half the congregation started crying when I said that Arad will always be my second home.
(Last week's email)
Yay, I got my travel plans! The weather has been weird here, too. It's been rainy and sunny, and if it were only just a little warmer it would be Spring. All the snow has melted, and in fact today we played basketball comfortably in shorts. It was nice. But weird.I never got to see my Christmas package :( Well I hope I will at least get to look at it before I board my plane :)Speaking of jobs, I am going to try to apply to teach Romanian at the MTC. That would be awesome and I definitely don't want to forget the language after all the hard work of learning it.
A Glance Back at My MTC District
Sora Bastidas
Ghiti, the Elder's long-term investigator, was talking to President Banatean about the temple trip this month. President Banatean told him if he and his wife want to go, they'd have to be baptized. So Ghiti said "Okay! We'll be baptized!" and his wife, our investigator Mariana, was rolling her eyes and shaking her head 'no'. After the excitement of the conversation settled a bit, I asked Mariana how she feels about all of this, "...it is very beautiful," she said softly, and she put her head down to hide the fact she started to cry. "I like it all so much.""Me too," I told her.No promises, but I think the two of them may be baptized soon.Well, Sunday was nice, and one member came back to Arad to visit for a month. She really wants to help with missionary work/visits so that's a plus! And Relief Society went well, thankfully.It was awesome to play basketball today.I started packing because this week is going to be very busy. It was weird.
...si un An Nou Fericit ( . . . and a Happy New Year!)
haven't heard anything about travel since I received that call about which airport I was going to a long time ago... maybe I'll call the office or something. That would just be too bad if I can't go home because someone forgot to make arrangements :)
Ghiti's
Hopefully that will be good for their marriage, too. He isn't baptized yet because he is married to Mariana but has a girlfriend (which Mariana
the plan of salvation will be enough to make things right. That's what the gospel is for.
Sora Routson, Me and Mariana
We've been meeting with more people, but it got really hard right around New Years because everyone was busy celebrating and we couldn't get much done those few days. Our New Years wasn't that spectacular, in fact I was feeling pretty ill and we were all told by President to be inside by 9, so we ended up going right to bed and slept through midnight celebrations. We had wanted to do something with Ioana but she wasn't getting in town before 9, so we really didn't do anything. The next day the streets were deserted. We were able to meet with Mariana and Maria (who is also doing great).
I'll be home soon enough to party the right way :)
out. It's great that they're doing this together. But, it's been frustrating she's not been letting us teach. She takes over the lesson, and tells us we aren't doing it right. But, we've hopefully figured out a solution and we can finally get him taught and ready before Saturday. It'll be a lot of work... but that's what I'm here for.
starting the Book of Mormon again from start to finish, but this time I'm doing a "red-letter edition". I read about it and thought it was cool so I'm trying it out. It's when you read through and mark every time Christ or God is speaking in red.
Well, that's all the big stuff, and unfortunately all I have time for. So Happy New Year, and two more emails!
Christmas, caroling... sarmale and nasty food (what's with all the food all the sudden?)
was a little sick, though so they could have been better. Bro. Moldovan
Brother Moldovan playing Christmas songs
This one guy pulled me aside and told me he enjoyed my songs. I talked to him for a bit and he asked me if I'm from Arad. When I say I'm American, he goes "What! But you look Romanian and you speak it perfectly! I thought you just knew English really well!" VICTORY!!!! Well, I'm sure he was exaggerating a little bit, but that was a fulfilling compliment. But then he talked to me about America for a half
an hour and now he wants to give me his prize collectable signature something or other from America, and I'm just like oh jeez... Well, I invited him to church :)
was busy visiting and caroling to a ton of people. First we door bell ditched some stockings to the Elders. Then the five of us traveled out to Sora Krista in the hospital and brought in some Christmas cheer. She needed it, she looks so sick of being in that hospital. They don't really know when she'll be able to get out.
since all the members in Arad live so far spread out, the rest of the day was spent visiting the Bacanu family, Ioan (the English student who took us to the concert), the Piper family, Sora Forita, and Sora Birau. It was a great way to spend Christmas eve, however everyone gave us Christmas treats and by the end of the day we felt pretty nasty!!!
was a little weird waking up. We got permission to sleep in until 8, so
Then we played games a little and all started Skyping, I got
you already know. It's kind of weird, though, being so close to home. But it was a great way to end Christmas.
The Elders have access now and are going to visit him in prison. That's
it just so happened that that day, after already forcing mici down myself, she serves us this spinach puree and chicken livers. OH MY. I felt sick the rest of that day and the entire next... Dan wasn't even there so we could teach him. He went to bed early so he could come to church the next day.
he didn't end up coming because of the weather. In fact, there weren't that many people and no one from the party came. Well, it was the coldest day so far and halfway through it started snowing! And the snow
was perfect for snowball fights. We had a mini one outside of the church. Seriously, though, one hour after the snowing starts and the city is covered in thick snow. It was awesome!
because I just had everyone talk about the plan of salvation and I "scribed" it on the board. Yeah, that's how good lessons are made. You make everyone else do all the work.
anyway. Relief society fell back to its usual boring self... we're still trying to figure out what to do without hurting anyone's feelings.
brought you a Christmas gift!"
only one little old lady actually accepted our gift. No one else even opened their door, and the ones who did refused it. I mean, seriously. Who refuses Christmas cheer? And we're their neighbors. Boo. You know, bloc knocking in Arad really is not like in other cities. Well, we've got other success elsewhere. Goes to show there are different modes of going about the Lord's work in all places.
has a few hurdles to get over first. However one day we ran into him at
a McDonalds when we needed the bathroom and met his wife, and he told me he's been asking her to go to church with him for weeks and she's always said no. So he told me to ask her, and I did and she said "...okay." Well, she came, and now Ghiti really wants us to teach... |
