All tropical rainforests have similar characteristics including climate, precipitation, canopy structure, complex symbiotic relationships and an amazing diversity of species. However, not every tropical rainforest can claim exact characteristics when compared by region or realm and there are rarely clear defining boundaries. Many may blend with adjoining mangrove forests, moist forests, mountain forests, or tropical deciduous forests.
Tropical Rainforest Location
Tropical rainforests mainly occur inside the world's equatorial regions. Tropical rainforests are restricted to the small land area between the latitudes 22.5° North and 22.5° South of the equator - between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer.
The global distribution of the tropical rainforest can be broken into four continental regions, realms or biomes: the Ethiopian or Afrotropical rainforest, the Australasian or Australian rainforest, the Oriental or Indomalayan/Asian rainforest, and the Central and South American Neotropical.
Importance of the Tropical Rainforest
Rainforests are "cradles of diversity." They spawn and support 50 percent of all living organisms on Earth even though they cover less than 5% of Earth's surface. A rainforest's importance is truly incomprehensible when it comes to species diversity.
Losing the Tropical Rainforest
Just a few thousand years ago, tropical rainforests are estimated to have covered as much as 12% of the land surface on earth. This was about 6 million square miles (15.5 million square km).
Today it is estimated that less than 5% of Earth's land is covered with these forests (about 2 to 3 million square miles). More importantly, two-thirds of the world's tropical rainforests exist as fragmented remnants.
The Largest Tropical Rainforest
The largest unbroken stretch of rainforest is found in the Amazon river basin of South America. Over half of this forest lies in Brazil, which holds about one-third of the world's remaining tropical rainforests. Another 20% of the world's remaining rainforest exists in Indonesia and the Congo Basin, while the balance of the world's rainforests is scattered around the globe in tropical regions.
Tropical Rainforests Outside the Tropics
Tropical rainforests are not just found in tropical regions, but also in temperate regions like Canada, the United States, and the former Soviet Union. These forests, like any tropical rainforest, receive abundant, year-round rainfall, and are characterized by an enclosed canopy and high species diversity but are without the year-round warmth and sunlight.
An important characteristic of tropical rainforests is moisture. Tropical rainforests usually lie in tropical zones where solar energy produces frequent rainstorms. Rainforests are subject to heavy rainfall, at least 80" and in some areas over 430" of rain each year. High volumes of rain in rainforests can cause local streams and creeks to rise 10-20 feet over the course of two hours.
The Canopy Layer
Most of life in the tropical rainforest exists vertically in the trees, above the shaded forest floor - in the layers. Each tropical rainforest canopy layer harbors its own unique plant and animal species interacting with the ecosystem around them. The primary tropical rainforest is divided into at least five layers: the overstory, the true canopy, the understory, the shrub layer, and the forest floor.
Tropical rainforests are not all that pleasant to visit. They are hot and humid, difficult to reach, insect-infested, and have wild | 0.511319 | 2.107281 | 2.362883 | 0.514156 | [

I have two big problems with my guest room. For one, I don't want to spend time in there. Even more central to my everyday quality of life, I am in desperate need of more storage. I've been so fixated on the need to clean out my storage unit to make more space that I was overlooking the bigger issue: the guest room's design totally stinks.
I loved my fun wall o' randomness at the apartment, but I just haven't fallen in love with it here. The beige paint color is slowly driving me mad, and furthermore, can anyone tell me why I have a desk in there? I NEVER sit at desks outside the office. I was fixated on putting a desk in there, but, really, my laptops each have their own special spot at the dining room table. And my sewing machine? Yeah, it likes the dining room table, too. The big TV in the living/dining room has DVR and ON DEMAND and swivels right at ya – how can you not like working from there?
So what do you think? If Genevieve Gordon can put a sofa in front of built-ins, why can't I create the illusion of expensive built-ins with cheapo IKEA Billy bookcases? And the Eames rocker? It's a $60 knock-off I found on Amazon.com. And yes, the walls will be white…. fresh, clean, bright, white. There will be color – my quilt of crazy Anna Marie Horner fabrics will still call this room home and I'd like to paint little accessories for the shelves and a small yet-to-be-salvaged from Salvation Army end table an undecided bright color. In fact, I think this room is screaming for some hot pink Pantone Color of the Year honeysuckle! We'll see.
I don't know about you, but I spent an excessive amount of time in my twenties watching episodes of Carrie Bradshaw and the ladies of SATC. Say what you may about questionable morals and story lines, when you look past the dirty scenes and shock value words, there's a lot of good stuff in there - true stuff, real stuff about issues that really hit home both then and now... relationships, finding your way through life, buying your first place, starting families and more. Thanks to recent re-runs on the E! Network, I was reminded this weekend of a few... including "Secret Single Behavior."
Do you remember? Carrie's was something to do with saltine crackers and fashion magazines, Charlotte walked around her Park Avenue apartment with her engagement ring... post divorce. Everyone but Samantha had something they would never do in front of someone else. Tonight, on the day when everyone else is celebrating their relationships, I decided I would celebrate one of my "Secret Single Behaviors" and disclose it to the world. My no-recipe, no-mess, no-waiting combo of inexpensive frozen shrimp, spaghetti noodles, a little evoo, garlic, salt, pepper, white wine if it's on hand... and oh yeah, more salt. Yep, I over-salt on purpose, I eat it standing up in my kitchen while watching TV. YUM. It's a dinner that is oh-so tasty, but always extra salty... and I love it.
Is Love in the Air? You Tell Me!
Happy Valentines? I'm a big proponent of showing love to friends, family, colleagues, clients and human beings in general every day – not just one day in the middle of February. I don't have a significant other to celebrate with either, but, I guess an excuse to eat chocolate hearts can't be all that bad. Want to make it an even better day for single ol' me? As a new, first-time condo owner, I need a lot of help, so I thought of a few ways you could show me some lovin'….
Light Up My Recessed Lighting: Those silly light bulbs in the ceiling keep going out. I'm going to be in the dark soon, and I don't know what bulbs to buy or how to change them.
Two Coats: No, not my latest J Crew clearance shopping spree... paint coats! I've picked my colors, now I just need the funds or the muscles to do the paint job on the condo. Inter | 0.516798 | -1.309238 | -0.904429 | -1.574744 | [

Wyoming Stories
By Annie Proulx

From the Pulitzer Prize–winning and bestselling author of The Shipping News and Accordion Crimes comes one of the most celebrated short story collections of our time.
Annie Proulx's masterful language and fierce love of Wyoming are evident in this collection of stories about loneliness, quick violence, and wrong kinds of love. In "The Mud Below," a rodeo rider's obsession marks the deepening fissures between his family life and self-imposed isolation. In "The Half-Skinned Steer," an elderly fool drives west to the ranch he grew up on for his brother's funeral, and dies a mile from home. In "Brokeback Mountain," the difficult affair between two cowboys survives everything but the world's violent intolerance.
These are stories of desperation, hard times, and unlikely elation, set in a landscape both brutal and magnificent. Enlivened by folk tales, flights of fancy, and details of ranch and rural work, they juxtapose Wyoming's traditional character and attitudes—confrontation of tough problems, prejudice, persistence in the face of difficulty—with the more benign values of the new west.
Stories in Close Range have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, and GQ. They have been selected for the O. Henry Stories 1998 and The Best American Short Stories of the Century and have won the National Magazine Award for Fiction. This is work by an author writing at the peak of her craft.

Reading group guide Close Range: Wyoming stories by Annie Proulx
Annie Proulx, the critically acclaimed winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, is one of the most intensely original and authentic voices in American fiction. Her writing examines the lives of rural North Americans in the contexts of time and place, asking how these forces order human lives and behavior. Her latest collection of short fiction, Close Range: Wyoming Stories presents eleven unforgettable stories of isolation, violence, and redemption in the high plains country of Wyoming. It is an unsentimental look at the ranchers, bull riders, cowboys, women and small-town business people who survive in this tough place.
The epigraph to the collection is a key to the stories: "Reality's never been of much use out here." The stories are laced with threads of the magical, the impossible, the folk tale. How does this dismissal of reality relate to the American myth of the west? In what ways does fantasy shape our lives and culture?
The Half Skinned Steer
1.) In the story told by Mero's old man's girlfriend, the half-skinned steer becomes a terrible fate Tin Head knows he can't escape. What is Mero's half-skinned steer? How was he marked by it and by his Wyoming origins? What is the nature of Mero's journey?
The Mud Below
2.) What drives Diamond, raised in town and meant for better things, to make himself into a rodeo bull rider? Are rodeo performers real cowboys? Does not knowing who his father is force him to invent a persona for himself? What are his feelings toward his mother, his young brother?
3.) Do you agree with Pake when he says that Diamond sees the bulls he rides as role models rather than opponents? What did Pake mean when he told Diamond, "you can't have a fence with only one post"?
4.) A fleeting clue to the identity of Diamond's father is in the story "Pair a Spurs." Does knowing that identity change your perception of the impasse relationship between Diamond and his mother?
5.) Does the title, "Job History" hold any irony? What do the jobs the members of this rural family hold tell us about their lives and opportunities? Do we learn more about them than the story's brevity and matter-of-fact style would suggest?
6.) What does this story say about the power of the home place over us?
The Blood Bay
7.) This story is a twist on an old folk tale, but here | 1.948109 | 1.020369 | 1.269764 | 0.207845 | [

given a Wyoming setting and characters. What does Proulx's adaptation of this tale tell you about the collection as a whole? Are you supposed to read these stories as a literal reflection of life in the west?
People in Hell Just Want A Drink of Water
8.) Compare the Dunmires and the Tinsleys -- each family's character and sensibilities, what each values, how they see the world, etc. What do their differences say about the error of stamping all rural people as similar in nature?
9.) Ras Tinsley falls victim to brutal vigilante action at the hands of the Dunmires. The Dunmires are stockmen. Is what the Dunmires do to Ras justifiable from their point of view as stockmen in this time and place? How is castrating Ras similar to culling an inferior animal from a herd? What is the flaw in that logic? 10.) Discuss the final line of this story.
The Bunchgrass Edge of the World
11.) Ottaline feels trapped in a world that seems to have nothing to offer her, and finds escapes by listening in on other people's conversations on a scanner. Discuss the options women have in isolated rural areas. Low population density and lack of public transportation are two background factors in this story. What are others?
12.) After the tractor begins to talk to her, Ottaline learns that an accident that killed a ranch hand was intentional -- an effort, the tractor claims, committed to "save" Ottaline from the young man. Ottaline replies, "I could a saved myself, if I wanted to." Do you agree? Is that what she accomplishes later by marrying Flyby Amendinger? What places, or whose place, does Ottaline claim for herself?
13.) As the story develops Old Red seems pushed to the sidelines, yet he is never silenced by advanced age or the marginalization of his role in the family. Were you surprised that Old Red, along with Ottaline, is a survivor in this story?
Pair a Spurs
14.) This story concerns complex relationships between men and women in a small community and prompts questions on the nature of love. The magic spurs infect Scrope with a strange and inescapable obsession. How does his changed behavior affect the other characters? What do the spurs represent?
A Lonely Coast
15.) The world does not lack for women like Josanna Skiles who accept bad treatment from the men in their lives. Why cannot Josanna break out of the pattern? She sometimes thinks that she lives in "a miserable place." Why doesn't she leave and make a new life for herself somewhere else? How does the place she lives in define her sense of self?
16.) Josanna has close female friends, yet Palma throws herself at Josanna's boyfriend, Elk. Why don't these women have more respect for each other?
17.) Did this story's depiction of contemporary small-town Wyoming surprise you? Do you think of drugs as a rural problem? What are the hungers, behaviors, and social factors that drive this story?
The Governors of Wyoming
18.) Why did Shy, a lifelong rancher, get involved with Wade Walls when it meant betraying his own community? What is the significance of the man stumbling through the waist-high grass who grants Shy his evil wish?
19.) In what ways do Shy and Wade represent fringe positions on the complex issue of cattlemen versus environmentalists? Which characters in the story do you think represent current contemporary Wyoming ranching practice? Why does Roany make a success of her business while Shy fails?
55 Miles to the Gas Pump
20.) What does this story say about the role imagination can play in lives defined by a remote setting and repetitive work? How does this brief story illuminate the collection as a whole?
21.) Both Ennis and Jack convince themselves that they aren't gay, and tell one another lies about the women in their lives. Is either man threatened by the other's relationships with women? Why is it so hard for Ennis to ask Jack if he was with other men in Mexico? How does Jack's disclosure affect their relationship?
22.) How can Jack and Ennis -- both gay men -- be homophobic? Does it seem possible to you that the two men might ever have lived together in rural Wyoming the way Jack wanted? How important is Ennis's tie to place and a rural life in this story? | 0.492144 | 0.690894 | 1.495489 | 0.412702 | [

International charts analysis: Travis Scott makes impressive start with Astroworld
by Alan Jones
August 13th 2018 at 7:00AM
As anticipated when it raced to the top of the iTunes chart in 41 countries within hours of release, Texan rapper Travis Scott's third full-length album, Astroworld, has emerged as the week's hottest new arrival.
In the first official charts since its release, unveiled on Friday (10), the track debuts at No.1 in Flanders, Italy, New Zealand and Norway and Sweden, No.2 in Ireland, The Netherlands and Wallonia, No.3 in The UK and No.4 in Germany. It will undoubtedly be the subject of a plethora of additional high debuts when the rest of the international chart community tabulate its first week performance, and has scored a No.1 debut in The USA, where it secured a first week consumption tally of 537,000 units, the second-biggest total of the year so far.
For the time being, however, Drake's Scorpion extends its run at No.1 in the US chart – and that of neighbouring Canada, his home country – to five weeks. Scorpion also continues to lead the list in Denmark, but retreats from the summit in Norway (1-3) and The Czech Republic (1-4). It remains in the Top 10 in Australia (2-2), Finland (2-2), Slovakia (2-2), Italy (3-3), The Netherlands (2-3), New Zealand (2-3), Sweden (2-3), France (5-4), Flanders (3-4), Ireland (3-4), The UK (3-4), Switzerland (5-5) and Wallonia (4-5), while reaching a new peak in Greece (20-15).
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is the No.1 film in more than 20 countries at present, so it is no surprise that the soundtrack album remains strong. It stays at No.1 in Australia, Austria, Ireland and The UK but slips 1-2 in New Zealand. It is down slightly almost everywhere else but debuts at No.79 in South Korea, powers 96-30 in France, and improves 4-2 in Germany, 4-3 in Spain, 5-4 in Poland and 6-5 in Denmark.
The least expected No.1 of the week is in Croatia, where Iron Maiden's most recent studio album, 2015's Book Of Souls, tops the chart. It is one of seven albums by the veteran British metal band to appear in the Top 10, in the wake of their July concert in Croatia – part of their Legacy Of The Beast tour, which saw them perform in 24 European countries in 10 weeks, ending with two gigs at London's O2 arena over the weekend (10-11).
George Ezra's second album, Staying At Tamara's, made a big initial impression in many countries for the British singer/songwriter five months ago, thanks to the success of first single Paradise. It has remained strong in The UK and Ireland, thanks to the staying power of follow-up Shotgun. The latter track is now also beginning to emerge as a hit in many other countries, triggering renewed interest in the album, which – while easing 4-5 in both The UK and Ireland – now advances 37-21 in Flanders, 33-25 in Sweden, 53-33 in Germany, 45-34 in The Netherlands, 50-48 in Switzerland, 71-53 in Austria and 73-56 in Australia.
Finally, only two Western albums are in the Top 50 in Japan, as compiled by Oricon. They are The Greatest Showman soundtrack which is No.27 – and Now That's What I Call Music! 100, which is indeed an import of the UK centennial edition of the series. In a market where Kanagawa rock band Southern All Stars' Umi No, Oh Yeah!!!!! sold 325,474 copies to become their 15th No.1 in a 40-year career at an average of 62 this week, it required a substantially more modest 1,008 sales for Now! 100 to land the No.45 slot | 0.268887 | 0.452293 | -1.324811 | -0.833029 | [

A BABY with a condition that caused her skin to crack and shed has defied doctors who gave her one year to live.
Adorable Paige Milby was born a rare scaly skin condition and doctors told her parents she would never walk or talk.
Paige has lamellar ichthyosis - a genetic disorder that causes her extremely dry skin to crack and shed.
At two-months-old, doctors gave her the deadly prognosis and believed that the tightness of her skin meant she would be confined to a wheelchair and never communicate.
But mum Tamara, 21, refused to give up and thanks to a daily routine of two baths, moisturising her full body in lotion and other medications she's defied doctors.
Miracle Paige, who is now 14-months-old, can run around and spoke her first word 'Dadda' months ago.
Tamara, from Greensburg in Kentucky, USA, said: "When we were told that due to her skin, she wouldn't make it over a year we were devastated.
"Doctors said she wouldn't be able to walk or talk either because the skin was too tight on her body.
"But I knew I couldn't give up on my daughter and I would fight to do whatever I could possible to make sure she had a happy life for however long it was.
"Since then I've been giving her two baths a day, covering her skin in lotion and administering her eye drops and somehow she's defied the doctors.
"Without the bathing and moisturising I know she wouldn't be able to talk, use her hands, legs or arms as the skin would be too tight.
"I personally believe that if we didn't do all of this she wouldn't be here right now, it's saving her life every day and gives her the ability to walk, talk and play with her toys.
"Up until her birthday I was really worried about whether she would make it and if doctors were right about her being unlikely reach a year old.
"On her birthday, my mum was crying and I was so shocked I had to sit down - realising how far she'd come along is mind blowing, she's survived everything thrown at her.
"Our dermatologist was really surprised, he didn't think she would live to be over one-year-old, let alone see her holding her cup with her fingers, working with her hands, arms and legs."
Parents Tamara and Theodore, 23, were unaware their daughter was born with ichthyosis until after doctors recognised the 'white mass' on her skin – a symptom of the condition called collodion membrane.
After nearly two weeks in intensive care, the little girl underwent her first of four surgeries to construct eyelids, because the skin around her eyes was so constricted.
Tamara, who works in a gas station, said: "The skin was so tight that she was born without eyelids, she couldn't blink or shut her eyes, they were always wide open.
"At 12 days' old she had her first surgery, where they sewed her eyes shut for three weeks, then after the skin had stretched they removed the stitches and her eyelids were formed.
"Earlier this month our eye doctor told us her eyes are perfect, there's no scaring, or anything covering her tear ducts."
For the first nine months, Tamara says she was afraid to take her daughter outside for fear of the nasty comments people could make.
Tamara added: "Once when we were out shopping, a lady thought she was burned all over her skin and worse, accused us of burning her.
"There's nothing wrong with her in my eyes, she's a perfect angel and I wouldn't trade for her for anything in the world.
"She may have skin and eye problems, but she's my daughter and I love her – I tell her that every day."
Lamellar ichthyosis is a rare genetic skin disorder that affects less than one inn 200,000 people.
Tamara says that often people with the condition are referred to as 'fish' because of the scaling over their skin.
Due to the dryness of Paige's skin she sheds frequently and as a small child had to undergo two operations to remove dead cells from her ear.

What you need to know: The Eagles have already been record-breakers in their three varsity seasons. Last year Veterans Memorial became the first CCISD school since 2003 to advance to the third round of the playoffs. A win Saturday would put the Eagles in the fourth round, a place CCISD has not been since 1988 when Carroll reached the state quarterfinals. Veterans Memorial faces a challenge in Mission Veterans Memorial, the one-loss District 16-5A Division I champion that is led by dual-threat QB Landry Gilpin. The son of the head coach has compiled 72 touchdowns including 3,788 yards passing and 1,891 yards rushing, which equals 473 yards a game for the senior. The Patriots average 47 points a game, while the Eagles have scored 44 points a contest. Quarterbacks David Soto and Joseph Gonzalez have each contributed in two playoff wins, while safety Davis Horne and defensive lineman Anthony Guerrero have been two of several playmakers on defense for Veterans Memorial. Veterans Memorial will be playing in the Alamodome for the first time in program history.

yards passing and 698 yards rushing, including 32 touchdowns. Senior linebacker Javaris Lawson will also be key against Wagner's potent rushing attack. Flour Bluff is aiming to reach the state quarterfinals for the second time in school history and first time since 2012.

CLASS 5A DIVISION II
CALALLEN VS. BRENHAM
Where: Comalander Stadium, 12002 Jones Maltsberger Rd., San Antonio
Records: Calallen 11-1, Brenham 8-4
Last week: Calallen 63, Alamo Heights 35; Brenham 42, Mission Sharyland 35
Live coverage: Twitter — Len Hayward (@Caller_Len)
What you need to know: The Wildcats and Cubs meet for the second time, and first in more than a decade. Calallen beat Brenham 31-17 to earn the school's first trip to the state championship game in 2005 after eight trips to the state semifinals. Calallen has reeled off 10 straight wins since falling to Flour Bluff in the second game of the season. The Wildcats ran for 503 yards and attempted one pass in a dominant win against Alamo Heights last week, led by Shenan Price, who ran for 196 yards on 13 carries and Jarrett Garza, who had 20 carries for 182 yards. Brenham has won seven of eight since a 1-3 start.

THREE STORYLINES TO WATCH IN THE REGIONAL ROUND
THE PRESSURE MOUNTS
Not that there is not pressure in playoff games, but it only continues to grow the deeper a team goes and this week is no exception. Every play becomes big and every turnover could be game turning. How teams handle those situations will make a difference in whether they advance.
WILL REFUGIO'S REVAMPED OFFENSE MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Early in the season, the Bobcats broke out a new option-oriented offense which they struggled with early in the season to the point that Refugio made some major changes during its bye week, going back to the spread attack. After seven games since the change, the Bobcats have outscored their opponents 461-21 with five shutouts. Part of the reason for the change was in expectation of a game against regional power Shiner and this week will show how well the changes have been made.
COULD MISSIONS VETERANS MEMORIAL AND VETERANS MEMORIAL BE A TRACK MEET?
Both teams can score points and Mission Vets features quarterback Landry Gilpin, who has accounted for 72 touchdowns this season. The Eagles offense can also put up points so defenses will be tested. This one could be wild and a turnover or special teams play may make the difference.
FIVE PLAYERS TO WATCH
RB/LB Cam Williams, West Oso — The linebacker and running back for the Bears could have a busy night on both sides of the ball. If Williams and the West Oso running game can find some consistency it could be key in an upset of Cuero.
OL/DL Armonie Brown, Refugio — Brown has been a force on both sides of the ball all season and his presence could be big against Shiner.
DL Daylen Pena, Veterans Memorial — Pena and the Eagles defensive line will be tested against Landy Gilpin and being able to keep him contained will be key to success.
DL Luke Youngblood, Calallen — The Wildcats defensive lineman has continued to impress throughout the season and their ability to clog up the front will give Calallen's offense a chance to return to the field.

US Soccer Votes to Allow Anthem Kneeling And Punished Member Who Articulately Refuted BLM Ideology
Isa Ryan March 8, 2021
Written with contribution from Sheriff David Clarke
Well, soccer may not be the most well-loved sport by Americans and apparently, the feeling is mutual.
Although the U.S. Soccer Federation required players to stand for the National Anthem back in 2017, the organization has reversed its stance and punished a member who argued against allowing the form of protest, which originates with the 2015/16 Black Lives Matter movement.
"I'm sure I'm going to ruffle some feathers with what I'm about to say, especially given the Athletes Council that I'm on, but given the evolution of our quote-unquote, progressive culture where everything offends everybody, those willing to take a knee for our anthem don't care about defending half of our country and when they do so, then I don't have too much concern in also exercising my First Amendment right," former U.S. Soccer player Seth Jahn, 38, said ahead of the lengthy virtual meeting in which the change was approved.
"We're here to give a different perspective. I also feel compelled to articulate that I'm of mixed race and representative of undoubtedly the most persecuted people in our country's history, Native Americans," he said, noting that he had Cherokee heritage.
He sharply criticized "identity politics" and "politicizing sports," noting that "95 percent of deaths in Black communities come at the hands of another Black man."
"I worked in law enforcement in two large agencies alongside my black, brown, white, yellow, red, purple peers, I never once saw a hint of police brutality," he explained.
"Does that mean it doesn't exist? Absolutely not and it's important to address those atrocities when they manifest, to exercise critical thinking, and to also rebuke the divisive narrative exacerbated by the media in order to garner their ratings as they exploit our emotive state," the athlete added.

"I keep hearing how our country was founded on the backs of slaves, even though approximately only eight percent of the entire population even owned slaves," he continued.
"Every race in the history of mankind has been enslaved by another demographic at some point in time. Blacks have been enslaved. Hispanics have been enslaved. Asians most recently in our country in the freaking 20th century, have been enslaved. Natives have been enslaved. Whites have been enslaved. Shoot, I lived in Africa for two and a half years where I could purchase people, slaves, between the price of $300 and $800 per person, per head depending on their age, health and physicality," Jahn also said.
"Where were the social justice warriors and the news journalists there to bring their ruminations to these real atrocities?" he added.
"And yet in all of history, only one country has fought to abolish slavery, the United States of America, where nearly 400,000 men died to fight for the abolishment of slavery underneath the same stars and bars that our athletes take a knee for. Their sacrifice is tainted with every knee that touches the ground."
Well, someone has been reading Thomas Sowell!
As it turns out, The U.S. Soccer Athletes Council later removed him.
He had "violated the prohibited conduct's policy section on harassment, which prohibits racial or other harassment based upon a person's protected status (race), including any verbal act in which race is used or implied in a manner which would make a reasonable person uncomfortable."
"The athlete's council does not tolerate this type of language and finds it incompatible with membership on the council. While the council understands that each person has a right to his or her own opinion, there are certain | -0.259722 | -0.139063 | -0.650884 | -0.120253 | [

The Chronicles Of Silence is a series of fantasy novels for Young Adults (and readers of all ages), set in the mythical time of King Arthur. The story is adapted from a real 13th century French tale called Le Roman de Silence. This is not a "new" or "made up" story — it's an old, authentic tale that has simply been given a few imaginative touches to make it more enjoyable for readers today. The story is full of intrigue, action, and romance.
– Geoffrey of Monmouth, 1170 A.D.
I was raised wearing armor.
You may think that means I was raised to be a knight, to wear mail and plates of steel like the heroes from my father's time, the knights who sat at the Round Table. That's not what I'm talking about.
The strongest sort of armor is made of illusions, deceptions, and dishonesty. If people don't know who you truly are, if you're always hidden behind a shield of falsehood, then they can't hurt you. You're always safe if you're surrounded in lies.
Hidden and safe. I was happy living that way — until the day I met someone I wanted to get close to. Then I found I didn't know how to do anything but lie to him. I had been telling lies for so long that I discovered I didn't know how to tell the truth, even when I really wanted to.
Because I was raised wearing armor made of lies.
It started on a sunny July morning as I was walking the southern border of Bodmin Moor. Though it was early, the air was already warm and I was beginning to sweat inside my thick wool hunting coat and leather jerkin. But I was looking for the tracks of a wolf or a boar, or sign of any other game worth hunting. Bodmin Moor was more than a hundred square miles of hunting land that belonged to Count Cador, lord of all Cornwall. Anyone found wandering the moors without permission would suffer harsh penalties, but I wasn't worried about that. If there was one boy in all of England who could cross the moors without incurring the count's wrath, it was me.
And it was on that July morning that I saw something most people only hear about in stories by the fireside.
At first it was just a glimpse of white in a grove of trees in the distance. The way it moved, like smoke on the wind, made me think it was a trick of the light. Then it bounded out of the trees and I saw it clearly: the White Hart, something that hunters all across the kingdom dreamed of seeing.
It was more magnificent than any bard's poetry. A huge stag with a coat the color of cream, and antlers as long as a man is tall. It snorted the breeze, then set off with a bound that surely stretched ten of my paces.
I dashed ahead and found its hoofprints at the spot where it had broken out of the woods. The beast had vanished into another thick stand of trees not far away, so I set out to follow. Of course, I wasn't planning to hurt it – all I had was my walking staff, and that was no weapon for hunting. But there was something about the sight of it, standing there like the prince of the moors, with it's golden eyes looking straight at me, that made me yearn to see it again, to be that close.
I could understand why the few hunters who claimed to have spotted the White Hart talked about it for the rest of their lives.
There were all sorts of legends about this beast and why it chose to live in the deep wilderness of Bodmin Moor. It was an ancient animal, and most people believed it was enchanted – a creature of the old magic from the time before humans came to Cornwall.
I followed its tracks through the woods as quickly and quietly as I could. I'd been stalking game out on the moors for as long as I could walk, so following a huge, galloping stag was easy. But my eyes were on the ground, looking for the disturbed earth where its hooves had fallen, so I was surprised when I pushed through a tangle of branches and suddenly found myself in an open clearing.
Sunlight streamed down from the open sky and I blinked in the bright light. Then I noticed I wasn't alone. On the far side of the clearing, just a dozen paces from where I stood, | 2.189172 | 1.07946 | 1.008531 | 0.053713 | [

there was an old man in a gray robe with a long, white beard. He was huge – probably ten feet tall – and the strangest thing about him were the two long, forking antlers growing out of his forehead.
I gripped my staff just a little tighter and blinked again as my eyes adjusted to the sunlight — then I saw I wasn't looking at a gigantic old man with antlers. It was just the sun-bleached trunk of a broken old oak tree, hollowed with age and overgrown with pale moss. It was topped with two bare, ragged branches that reached up toward the sky. A covey of quail flushed from the bushes at its base and flew away with a sharp rattling of wings.
Moving quietly toward the hollow oak, I crouched low and peered through the brush. Just beyond, so close I could practically reach through the leaves and touch him, was a boy just about my own age. He was lying on the ground with one arm stretched out in front of him.
And his shirt was spattered in bright red blood.
He wasn't moving at all. I didn't know if he had seen me through the bushes, or if he was just calling out blindly. But I could tell one thing for sure: If I didn't help him, he was going to die. It wasn't as if anyone else was going to find him out here in the woods.
But I also knew that if I spoke to him, I was likely to get into the worst trouble of my whole life. Talking to strangers out on the moors was one of the things strictly forbidden by my father.
I stared through the leaves, wondering what to do. The boy hardly seemed dangerous. In fact, from what I could see, he looked perfectly pleasant. His long black hair was tied back behind his neck and wrapped with a leather cord. He wore a plain linen shirt and trousers, and had a small cloth satchel slung over one shoulder. I could see that his face, dappled by the shadows of the trees, had fine cheeks and a strong nose.
Handsome. Handsome is how I'd have described him, though I know that's not how one boy is supposed to think of another.
And I could see that his chest was barely moving. I couldn't leave him out here, hurt and dazed. I had to help him.
Cautiously I slipped through the brush and knelt at his side. "What happened to you?" I asked. But he didn't answer. He'd slipped into unconsciousness.
Kneeling by his side I could see his wound. He'd been hit with a powerful blow that left a gash on his swollen scalp. It was bleeding badly, and I knew he needed to get bandaged right away. I started to rip a strip off of his shirt — then I heard something else moving through the woods. I looked toward the sound and saw a dark figure, a man stalking through the trees. I couldn't make out his face, but I could see one thing very distinctly: He was carrying a heavy club.
In just a moment that man was going to step out of the shadows and see me and the wounded boy on the ground. I had no idea what had happened here, how this dark-haired boy had gotten hurt, but I knew I didn't want to wind up the same way.
I slipped my hands under the boy's arms, lifted as gently as I could, and dragged him toward that hollow oak tree.
A few moments later the man with the club walked into the clearing. His eyes darted from side to side, searching warily and taking note of every swaying twig and falling leaf. He stepped forward, then paused just a couple of paces away from the mossy oak.
Inside the hollow trunk, the wounded boy and I huddled together. There was hardly enough room for both of us, but I'd managed to get us hidden and our tracks covered without making a sound. I knew how to keep from being seen on the moors when I needed to. But now, as I saw the man's silhouette through the covering of moss, I was afraid he somehow knew where we were.
The man stood still for the span of a dozen heartbeats, so close I could hear his sharp breathing. It almost sounded like he was sniffing the air.

Cecil George Pepper (15 September 1916 – 22 March 1993) was an Australian first-class cricketer who became a professional in English league cricket and later a first-class umpire in England. An allrounder, he was the first to complete the double twice in the Central Lancashire League. He once scored 38 runs off an eight-ball over.
Cricket career
Cec Pepper played first-class cricket for New South Wales from 1938–39 to 1940–41. He fought in World War II in the Middle East and New Guinea, and at the end of the war he played for Australian Services cricket teams in England (the "Victory Tests" series) in 1945 and in India, Ceylon and Australia in 1945–46.
Career highlights included an innings he played for New South Wales at Brisbane in 1940–41 when he made 81 with all but 7 of them coming in boundaries. His only century came when he hit 168 in 146 minutes, with 17 fours and 6 sixes, for the Australian Services XI against H.D.G. Leveson-Gower's XI at Scarborough in 1945. His best bowling figures of 6 for 33 came in 1949–50 when touring India with a Commonwealth side. He took a hat-trick in the match. He played only two first-class matches after that tour, spending the rest of his career as a professional in league cricket.
Pepper became embroiled in a row that is widely believed to have cost him Test selection. Teammates Keith Miller and Dick Whitington regarded him as one of the best all rounders in the world and a certainty for Australian Test selection. Pepper appealed for leg before wicket against Australian captain Don Bradman in a match against South Australia. The appeal was turned down and Pepper complained to the umpire, prompting Bradman, who was also a member of the Australian Board, to lodge a complaint about Pepper. Pepper was subsequently never selected for Australia. Cricket historian Gideon Haigh said that "[team manager Keith] Johnson was clearly upset by the affair, and also by the failure of the [national] selection panel [Bradman among them] ... to send Pepper, second only to Miller as a cricketer in the Services XI, to New Zealand" in 1945–46. Johnson tried to intercede on Pepper's behalf to no avail, although the other board members claimed that no directive had been given to the selectors to exclude Pepper.
Garry Sobers, who played against him in league cricket, said of Pepper that "the reason why he never played county cricket was probably because of his overripe language. He was certainly good enough as a cricketer but no one wanted to take the chance ... It is said that Sir Don Bradman once remarked that had Cec's mouth and his attitude been different, he would have been one of the greatest all-rounders the world has ever seen."
After retiring he became an umpire in county cricket from 1964 until 1980. He remained in England and died in 1993 in Lancashire. His Wisden obituary noted that "A Manchester Evening News correspondent said he could not imagine any match involving Pepper pursuing a peaceful course", but added that usually "there was more humour than anger".
Personal life
During his early years as a professional cricketer in the Lancashire leagues, Pepper was the highest-paid cricketer in England. He established a successful packaging business in Bury in Lancashire, and bought residences in Blackpool and the south of Spain.
Pepper married Maurine Ford in Wagga Wagga in October 1943. They had a son in England in November 1946. Pepper had an affair in England in 1944 that led to the birth of a son in 1945. Maurine divorced him in 1948 on the grounds of adultery and returned to Australia, where she remarried in 1952. Pepper did not remarry, but he and a married woman had a son in October 1964.
Pepper died of heart disease in Littleborough, Lancashire, in March 19 | 0.316141 | 1.587999 | -0.232325 | -0.02823 | [

Fortress provides more back tax related services than can be described within this website. If you owe back taxes and do not see the service you need listed within this site, please call us. The chances are that we can help. The following is a description of additional services that we commonly provide.
In some cases, it is possible to have a tax lien withdrawn prior to full payment of the underlying tax liability. If the government has yet to file a lien, it may be possible to negotiate an arrangement whereby the government agrees not to file a lien.
Tax liens can impair or prevent a taxpayer's ability to sell an asset that is subject to a tax lien. By convincing the IRS to approve an Application for Certificate of Discharge of Federal Tax Lien, our staff can help individuals and business transfer clean title of an asset or assets to a buyer.
A tax lien can prevent a taxpayer from utilizing assets subject to the tax lien for collateral on a loan. A tax lien can also interfere with an existing lending arrangement between a taxpayer and a lender, particularly when the collateral is inventory or accounts receivable. In either of these situations, it may be possible to convince the IRS to approve an Application for Subordination of Federal Tax Lien.
Taxpayers frequently have a difficult time understanding how the IRS calculated their liabilities. We can obtain a copy of your tax transcript, analyze it, and tell you exactly how much you owe in tax, penalties, and interest. We can also obtain additional useful pieces of information from your tax transcript, such as whether the IRS has fulfilled its procedural requirements for enforcing against you.
The IRS and state taxing authorities do sometimes make mistakes. If you believe that your tax liability is higher than it should be, we can obtain and analyze your tax transcripts. If the IRS failed to give you credits to which you were entitled or if they misapplied credits, we will submit the appropriate proof and make sure that your liability gets reduced accordingly.
Would it create a hardship for you to pay back any of your unpaid tax liability? If so, we may be able to convince the IRS to place your case in Currently Not Collectable Status. Depending upon your circumstances, it may be possible for you to be protected from enforcement while not having to pay the IRS a single penny.
If you have a question or do not see the service you need listed within this site; we still may be able to help you | 0.072338 | 0.041119 | 0.491138 | -0.057333 | [

Neil Coupe
Name: Neil Coupe.
Age: 46.
Occupation: Managing Director.
Neil not in Lycra
Group you frequently run with? Run leader so any group.
How did you get involved with the Pumas? I was there in the early days when there were approximately 20 members. I got involved by searching the Internet at that time under local running clubs.
I run because… It makes me feel alive when a run is completed. I also run to socialise.
By joining the Pumas, what were/are you hoping to get out of it? I joined the Pumas to improve my fitness and lose some of my belly, but I mainly joined the Pumas for the social aspect as I'm originally from the other side of Bradford and all my friends live over there. I love to socialise and I think I'm pretty good at it but that's my opinion, probably no one else's.
Do you have any personal goals and running aims for 2017? I've already achieved my personal goal which was to run a sub 45 minute 10k, which I did in the Bradford 10k (this year) in 43:38 and I just want maintain my decent level of fitness.
Do you remember your first session? Yes, there were 5 runners in my group, 2 women and 3 guys, only 3 are still members.
Did you run before you joined the club, or is it totally new to you? Do you or did you do any other sports? I'm a Senior County football referee and I used to be more into cycling than running but I find that running is an aerobic exercise and for me nothing comes close.
What's your favourite part of being involved with the Pumas? I love now that I'm leading groups and seeing people on their personal journeys. And, of course, the social side, as there's always something going on.
Have you got any favourite routes? Anything on the road. I hate caveman running (off-roading) but my favourite is the route from the end of Green Lane to Brow Lane.
What do you find the biggest drag in running? The dark nights, wearing LED lights and the unpredictable English weather.
Neil in action
How do you feel you have benefitted from joining the Pumas? For me, the the social side has brought me so many new people into my life who I now consider friends as well as running buddies.
Have you taken part in any organised events? Several events, probably too many to mention, but my first ever event was cycling from London to Paris, which I have to say no other event has come close.
If so, what was your most memorable run? My best running event was the Leeds Half Marathon in 2016 in which I didn't time myself and just enjoyed it, high-fiving several people en route.
What most people don't know about you is… That I used to be quite introvert and shy and used to weigh 18 stone.
If you were stuck on a desert island what would your luxury item be? My iPhone, of course, so I could banter on the Pumas group.
If you were stuck on a desert island who would you like to be there with? Apart from the obvious family members I would like to spend time with David Jason (Del Boy) as I'd hope he would keep me entertained over and over again just like when I watch Open All Hours and Only Fools and Horses on TV over and over again.
If you were stuck on a desert island name your three favourite songs (at least one should be your favourite song to run to)? Celine Dion – 'I'm Alive', Take That – 'Never Forget', and Queen – 'Don't Stop Me Now' (fave running song).

New Book: "Reggaetón. Una revolución latina"
[Many thanks to Peter Jordens for bringing this item to our attention.] In "The 'true' history of reggaeton," Andrea Rodrés (Al Día) introduces a new book by Argentine journalist Pablito Wilson, Reggaetón. A Latin Revolution, in which he analyzes the origins and content of this internationally successful musical genre.
What is reggaeton? What is it not? Where does it come from, Puerto Rico or Panama? If reggaeton is the new pop, what is trap? What are the keys to its industry? How has the pandemic affected it? Is reggaeton a 'macho' genre, or could this label also apply to all other music in history, such as opera?
In Reggaeton. Una revolución latina (Liburuak), Argentine journalist Pablito Wilson offers a pioneering approach, as rigorous as it is enthusiastic, into the history and sociology of the urban music genre par excellence. He connects it with other music such as reggae and hip-hop, pop, rock, salsa, bolero, and with current themes that go beyond (or not) reggaeton: life in the streets, artistic rivalries, the revolutionary role played by women today, the industry where the music circulates and, of course, its roots.
The origin of the genre, as Wilson explains in his book, dates back to 1990, when Jamaican reggae singer Shabba Ranks released the song "Dem Bow," sparking interest in some Caribbean islands that at the time wanted to build their own identity.
"In reggaeton, it was the Puerto Ricans who took dembow and built a musical genre from there. According to many of them, Tego Calderón is the first person to propel this style outside the island, until Daddy Yankee arrives and changes everything," explained the writer, born in Argentina in 1985, in a recent interview with EFE.
One of the goals of the book was to question the existing prejudices against the genre, which question its musical quality or accuse it of being sexist. "There is a vision of virtuosity that provokes a component of prejudice towards reggaeton, a certain arrogance, because talent can be applied in many ways," said Wilson in another interview with La Vanguardia.
In the book, Wilson explains that reggaeton began as an integral part of the Puerto Rican cultural identity. In the early 1990s, it was not a commercial genre, but a stigmatized music because it was sung and consumed in the caseríos (public housing for the underprivileged classes) and danced to by marginalized groups. In a matter of three decades, it has become the most consumed genre in Spain, the third largest consumer of reggaeton in the world, after Mexico and the United States.
The first hit songs came in the late 2000s with the so-called first wave singers, such as Daddy Yankee and Don Omar. "Some singers made mistakes at that time in terms of the image of women, but I think the content of the songs has changed because society is moving forward," Wilson told La Vanguardia.
On the other hand, the pandemic also brought with it a new way of listening to music and enjoying the genre. "Many people took refuge in music and reggaeton. Also the pandemic affected many artists, such as Karol G, who released the biggest hit of her career, "Tusa," but that slows down because the pandemic arrived. Then, people can't get together to party in houses and the visualizations don't propel as they normally would have done," the journalist told EFE.
Wilson insists that it should be the reader who judges whether the lyrics of the songs are right or wrong, his book is just an attempt to change the stigmatized look that is held on this genre. "I want it to be useful for whatever the readers want, that if they are going to criticize reggaeton, they do it with foundations, that if they are parents they understand better what their children are experiencing. To break the rules you have to know them first," he told EFE. Source: https://aldianews.com/en/culture/books-and-authors/breaking-stigmas

Danny Grainger: 'I'd have loved just one appearance for Carlisle Utd. I've lived a young boy's dream'
Danny Grainger has won a few battles in his time at Carlisle United and the day he spoke about retiring was another. It required some effort for the 32-year-old not to cry as he considered the end of a 17-year career.
Grainger just about kept the tears at bay but some sentences were short, his voice fainter than usual. It was no ordinary interview for these are not ordinary circumstances for the Cumbrian: confident in the timing of his decision, but realising it is the end all the same.
Grainger appeared most emotional when talking about his family and also the fact he is going out the way he wished: with Carlisle, the club that rejected him at 13 but then signed him aged 27.
He has since captained the club and over 197 appearances there have been some rich and eventful times: heroic moments, a few struggles, but always the sense that Grainger has been there. He enjoyed significant success in Scotland but his time at Brunton Park has given him a depth of feeling unavailable elsewhere.
A supporter of the Blues since childhood, pulling on the blue shirt always mattered. "It's something you laugh and dream about," Grainger said. "My mates that I chat with a lot, they always say, 'You've wanted to do it, and you've done it. Just enjoy it'. It has been a real ride.
"I'd have loved just one appearance for Carlisle and one professional game. You're living a young boy's dream."
Grainger weathered some early criticism in his time as a United player as the club fought relegation, but it is significant that he is the only survivor in the squad from the Graham Kavanagh era. It reflects a strength of character that he was entrusted even as Kavanagh's successor Keith Curle was subjecting the rest of United to considerable change.
This established him as a figurehead throughout Curle's reign and, though this season under John Sheridan and Steven Pressley has been sabotaged by the injuries that have led him to call it a day, Grainger will leave with his standing among supporters generally high.
"Your relationship with fans is very up and down, but that's football," he said. "You can go from scoring the winner in the 90th minute to giving a short backpass [and costing your team] within two weeks. That's part and parcel of the game.
"I'll always go onto any pitch, especially that one [Brunton Park], and work hard, try and run further than anyone, and do more than anyone can. I think I've probably won more over with that side of it.
"When people read about my decision [today], some people will say he's a good servant, but it's time to walk away. Others will say he shouldn't be leaving. It is what it is. You're never gonna please every single fan that walks through the gate, but they all know I've knocked my pan in for the club and that's the main thing for me."
Grainger's time as a United defender is also memorable for his efforts at the other end of the pitch. His 34 goals include 18 penalties and the captain was reminded by the club's media officer Andy Hall on Wednesday that this was the joint second highest spot-kick tally in United's history: level with Chris Balderstone, three behind Mike McCartney.
He is also down in history as the scorer of Carlisle's 5,000th league goal: a header at Chesterfield last season. Some of his other strikes have been either spectacular (stunners against Portsmouth and Newport, for instance) or highly significant (two nerveless penalties at Exeter on 2016/17's final day which helped United into the play-offs).
One penalty he did not convert was in a League Cup shoot-out at Anfield in September 2015 but that was still one of Grainger's proudest nights, as he led Carlisle out at one of the game's great stadiums and they produced a brave team performance to take Liverpool to the very wire.
When retirement sinks in these are among many memories Grainger will treasure. So is the way he built his career from the pain of teenage | 0.942767 | 0.00963 | -0.509013 | -0.751411 | [

rejection. "I say now to my academy lads about these setbacks," he said. "They are negatives but you have to try and take them as positives, as fuel.
"I had a real desire to prove people wrong. I got a lucky break when I got my Gretna move – it was the right time and everything just fell in place. I had people like Gav Skelton and Richie Prokas, who I've looked up to for a long time who I could go and speak to. They were so open, and able to help you, that it was easier to become a better player. I always said that's what I want to model myself on.
"When I left [the United centre of excellence] it was a setback, very upsetting as a 13-year-old to be told you're not good enough. People in that situation sometimes say, 'That's enough now, I'm not good enough'. I didn't take it. I wanted to prove them wrong, and quite happily I did."
Grainger spent five years with Gretna, sharing in their remarkable rise up the Scottish league, and until 2014 had spent all his career north of the border. "I really enjoyed it, all the massive grounds, big clubs, derbies, everything," he said. "I loved my time at St Johnstone, I loved my time at Dundee United. It was a learning curve for me. I went to Dunfermline for the last part of my career there and loved it too. It was two divisions below the SPL but with a manager [Jim Jefferies] I really got on with and I still do.
"Probably until I came back here [to England], I didn't really take a lot of it on board. You just enjoyed the moment when you were there. But you look back and think where you've been, where you've played, grounds, clubs you've played against, the stature, the competitions. Being able to go to Anfield on a European night [with Hearts] was unbelievable. White Hart Lane. I probably didn't appreciate them enough when they were there, but the memories I'll hold forever."
Grainger's time at Tynecastle brought Scottish Cup Final glory. He scored from the spot in a 5-1 annihilation of city rivals Hibs 2012 at Hampden. "It was a place [Hearts] where I made a lot of good friends," he said. "We went through a hard time, not getting paid, on the verge of administration, and seeing people losing jobs. It was the club that probably I grew closest to when I was up there, and I still go back up when I can, and take [my son] Oliver to the games.
"To play in a cup final was unbelievable; that, and scoring against your biggest rivals are great memories."
Grainger had spoken to Carlisle in 2013 at a time he was recovering from a cruciate knee ligament injury but it was not the right time for either party. He had, though, resolved to come home at some stage soon. "The time it did come, [my wife] Heather was pregnant with Maisie, Oliver was getting towards school age, and we just said, 'Do we carry on another couple of years up here [in Scotland], or do we go home and set up some roots?' That was when we knew it was time to come home."
Kavanagh, who signed Grainger in 2014, did not last long as boss that season and as United struggled, Grainger faced flak. "It's been an up and down five years," he said. "Your first season, when you come in, you want to hit the ground running and I don't think I did. A relegation fight in your first season's not what you want."
Receiving the armband was, though, an honour. "That's tipped it off, really. Keith Curle came in, and Thir [Paul Thirlwell] was captain. I'll never forget it. It was when we were at Newport. The manager hadn't pulled me in or anything. It was Thir that told me, 'You're captain now'. He was brilliant with it. A lot of people would have been a bit upset, because Thir was a legend himself. But I was more than happy to take it over and Thir was great with me."
United survived late in the season, then had an eventful 201 | 0.835933 | -0.091163 | -0.3845 | -0.615083 | [

5/16, marked by Anfield, the Storm Desmond floods and a 10th-placed finish. The following year they looked set for promotion but mid-season injuries to Grainger and Mike Jones, plus the sale of Charlie Wyke, left them scrambling for the play-offs. 2017/8 was a frustrating affair while this volatile campaign, steered by different managers, is going close to the wire as the Blues try to cling on to the top seven.
"It's been mad," Grainger said, considering all these campaigns. "That night down at Exeter [the play-off semi-final second leg] when we lost with the last kick, after the jubilation a few days earlier when we won 3-2 to get in the play-offs. Anfield was a proud night. We've had some unbelievable days here. Even the one against Hartlepool where we won 3-2 [in October 2016, when Grainger scored from a free-kick routine]. Nath Thomas doesn't let me forget that one...
"I've made some great mates here. It would have been nice to finish with 200 appearances but I'm happy with 197."
On his penalty-taking, Grainger said: "I've always said I'm confident taking them. I probably haven't been as prolific over the last nine months which is frustrating. Some players don't mind it, some enjoy it. I'm one of those players who, if it's there, I'll do it. It's a free hit from 12 yards and you should back yourself every time.
"It's been great – the penalties, and some of the other goals I've been lucky enough to score. The flukes, a couple of right-footers and a header, which is unheard of!
"All the little records [such as United's 5,000th goal] are lovely to have but as I've always said, it's the club's success that's the main thing. It would be great this season if we could finish this job off and get promoted. We know it's an uphill task now but it's all to play for. Two big games, and if we do the business I'm confident we'll finish in the play-offs, then I'm more than confident seeing where we'll go."
United will also miss Grainger's off-field contributions. No Blues pro in the last five years has done more to represent the club in its community and if Grainger had done nothing else for Carlisle, his instinctive response to rally team-mates to help flood victims in the city in December 2015 should guarantee him lasting respect.
On his community efforts, he said: "It's something I've taken seriously. I've taken things from what I've seen other captains do, and it's probably been easier for me to captain this club than any other because this is a club I've always wanted to be at. Going into the community is no bother, because I remember when I was young, Proky [Richard Prokas] and other players used to come in [to schools and clubs] and it meant a lot. I wanted to make sure the kids round here have the same sort of buzz I did when I was their age."
Embarking on a career as long as Grainger's brings certain lessons, some he can now pass on as a coach, whether that be in his Cumbria Football Academy or in other positions in the game. "You can't have regrets," he said. "But one thing I would say is I was slightly negative in the early part of my career. Mistakes bothered me and that negativity slowed me down a little bit.
"When I speak to younger players, I say, 'Things happen, get on with it'. That comes with experience. Although it's easy for me to sit here now with over 400 appearances and say that."
Experience also told when he started to consider the end. Grainger said it was about two months ago that he first started talking seriously to his wife about the idea of retiring, the annoyance of injuries having weighed heavier than before. "It's hard when you're on year-to-year contracts," he said. "I always wanted to finish my career here and knowing I only had a year left, you always think, could this be your last one?

"I started to talk about it around the first time I did my hamstring, about six to eight weeks ago. That's when I was getting frustrated and taking things home.
"It's not been a rash decision. It's been coming. I just think that, moving forward, the club needs some fresh blood. They need a fresh start. I think the manager has said that – there will be changes in the summer. It just felt like it was the right time for me to step away from the club. That knock-on effect is that me finishing at this club is me finishing my career.
"I always said my target was [age] 32-33. I think now my body and everything's just decided that it's the right time. To be fair to Dolly [physio Neil Dalton], Paddy and Dave [fitness coaches Paddy Maher and David Waldie], those guys have been unbelievable. I'm not the most agile player and they've been able to get me on the pitch week after week. This season has just taken its toll and it's been frustrating."
Given his central part at United these five years, is there no suggestion he could stay in another capacity? "There hasn't been any sort of conversations like that. I spoke to the gaffer [Pressley] and David Holdsworth [director of football] – they both said they respected my decision and will look at things further down the line.
"I've no idea what the plans are after this season for myself. I think the most important thing is the club will kick on. It's been my biggest disappointment that I came here when we were in League Two and we're still here. Hopefully we can finish with a trip to Wembley and a promotion just as I finish."
Whether he is fixed up with another position early in the summer, or has to wait for the right opportunity, he concedes the approaching weeks will be a curious time. "It will be very strange [not to be coming back to Brunton Park for pre-season]. There's loads of things that go through your head and that's one of them – what am I gonna do with my summer? I don't have to run, don't have to get fit! One of Heather's things was, 'Don't get fat…'
"It will be a strange summer, but one when I can wind down, enjoy my kids and Heather and see where we go."
Grainger replied "never say never" at the long-term thought of returning to United in their dug-out one day. He stressed, though, that he has respect for Pressley. "I want him to be a real success. I speak to him quite a lot, we've got a good relationship off and on the pitch and I think the club have made a good decision in giving him a year's contract to go on and prove he's the right man for the job.
"He's been brilliant for me since coming in. With this [decision], I sat down and had a conversation with him on Sunday about it, had a coffee, and he was superb about it. He said any time I want to come and watch training I'm more than welcome, things like that."
What, then, could be next? "There's a couple of little things I'm looking at that might work for me. It's very difficult at the moment because I've got my academy and I want to build that, with our own training facility – it's very important we get everything up to scratch, and that will take care of itself after that.
"I don't want to be sat in the car for two or three hours every day. There's nothing that I've put any sort of thought into yet. I just want to get to the end of the season, get back fit and hopefully help push the lads over the line into the play-offs."
Does he have an overriding ambition for his career post-playing? Grainger nodded. "I said when I started at Gretna that I wanted to play as high as I could, and there's no difference with the coaching side. Whatever I do, wherever I go, whatever the next step is, I'll give my all with it.
"I've been quite lucky to have worked under some really good managers and coaches, national managers, and with my captaincy I've [learned] things I'd like to think I can take into that [coaching] side. I've got two or three really good friends in that respect too…G | 0.262039 | -1.352213 | -0.803613 | -1.124707 | [

Student Spotlight: Jaison Anderson
By Ashley Mott
Arts and Entertainment Editor
There are things that make each and every person unique in their own way. Special talents, different languages and even different personalities all contribute to the makeup of a single unique person. Here at Cleveland State University, there is one student who is taking his own unique personality and using it to bridge a gap between two worlds of people, two different cultures, the bridge between the hearing world and the Deaf world.
Jaison Anderson is a student here at Cleveland State who is in his senior year of his program track to become a Mild Education Intervention Specialist. With him, he brings a light that seems to brighten the days of those around him, even if they aren't sure who he is.
Anderson identifies as a Deaf individual but dives deep into both worlds of hearing and Deaf alike. From the start of his freshman year at Cleveland State, he sought to challenge himself and help make the world more inclusive. He had an offer to go to Gallaudet, a university that is known for being Deaf, but he turned it down in favor of the scholarship he had to Cleveland State because he wanted a challenge.
"I want to challenge myself in the hearing world," Anderson said.
He knew that being in a college that required him to interact with hearing students would be the best thing for him. He traditionally only had interactions with other Deaf students prior to college, but he wanted to make people more aware about his culture, and he has since tried to spread it while being here at Cleveland State.
Joining the American Sign Language (ASL) Club here at the university, Anderson was able to make an impact on the people in the club right from the start. He immediately got involved with ASL Idol, an event created to show the beauty of their language and support one another, by performing two songs his first year and being an MC in the show.
For him, ASL Club afforded him the ability to talk to people about signing, what it means and how to learn. He was able to go after some of his goals in relation to the spreading of the language and getting involved with the club itself.
"[I want] to spread ASL, Deaf Culture and help other students with signing and introducing them into the Deaf world. To socialize with them and get an opportunity to know them, it's beautiful," Anderson said, reflecting on why he joined in the beginning. "I joined because I love ASL and I want to help it be the best that it can be."
However, he doesn't attribute all the growth of the organization and himself to sheer luck or his own abilities. Anderson knew that he had a lot to be grateful for in terms of professors, interpreters and friends that have helped him throughout the years.
"[My interpreters] give me different perspectives of the Deaf and hearing worlds, because there are times when I don't know myself and times where I do know myself. I'm in the middle of two worlds," Anderson said, reflecting back on how their perspectives helped him find his middle ground.
He explained that there are things a hearing person can say to another hearing person that would be considered socially acceptable. In that same thought, there are things that a Deaf person can say to another Deaf person and it be okay, but there are things that a Deaf person can't say to a hearing person or vice versa that would be considered okay. It's moments like these that cause misunderstandings because neither party understands the other's culture.
"My model of life is bringing hearing and Deaf closer together," Anderson said. "Peace, even, fair and respect."
Anderson is becoming a bridge between many people in the two worlds. He has found new and inventive ways to bring them together, including making ASL Idol a bigger event to attract more people and show them what sign language is all about. He attributes a lot of his creativity in this area to a former Cleveland State student.

Financial Reports for Sept. 2015 were submitted to the Board of Trustees and Departments. Mrs. Seddelmeyer made a motion to approve the financials, Mr. Holly seconded, and the motion carried 3-0.
Discussion: • Fund balances are in good status • Tax receipts in for the year. Real Estate Settlements close to estimates. TPPT receipts were 5% less than what was originally estimated by county auditor's office. • Budget items in good status, other than Professional & Technical, Repairs & Maintenance in the Fire Dept. which are at 90%. Salaries are only at 57%, training at 43%, and operating is at 45%; tax collection and property & liability were less than what was budgeted; reallocate funds where needed.
Mr. Younkman addressed the Board of Trustees stating he is representing Harry Baber, 3301 S. Dixie Highway, Lima Ohio regarding an issue that began back in April of this year involving Harry's neighbor Tom Stewart. Derek said he read over prior Twp. Minutes and has concluded there were zoning violations and that the Township had issued a letter to Mr. Stewart to correct the issue, and that Mr. Stewart then hired Engineer Brad Core to draw up a plan to resolve the issue, which Derek said he just received today, and asked where the Trustees were at as to reviewing or approving the plan. Trustee Belton stated the mounds on Mr. Stewart's property violated zoning and that the Township Trustees requested Mr. Stewart remove them, and that Mr. Stewart was granted an extension to get the work done. Mr. Belton said that Trustees would like to see Mr. Baber and Mr. Stewart resolve the issue further stating the matter is a civil issue. Derek mentioned he was concerned about the plans existing topography where there will be a 2ft. reduction of the mound and changing water flow. Mr. Belton suggested Derek talk to Brad Core about the plans. Another concern of Derek's was if the Township were going to permit Mr. Stewart to build a new pole barn on his property if Mr. Stewart was still in violation of zoning regulations. Mr. Belton informed Derek that the matter is going before the Township Zoning Board of Appeals at a Variance Hearing on next Tues., and that further appeal would go before the Allen County Court of Appeals.

DWC News Update: Will Association MEPs be DOA?
DWC 04/1/19
If you followed any news outlets at all on Friday, you probably read or heard headlines like this one from CNN: "Court Blocks Another Trump Attempt to Undermine Obamacare". While the Washington, D.C. District Court's decision in State of New York, et. al. v. United States Department of Labor, et. al. does impact health plans, its tentacles reach well into the retirement plan world as well.
The case arose from several states challenging the DOL's recently finalized Association Health Plan ("AHP") regulations that were intended to allow small businesses and self-employed individuals to band together through a "bona fide" association to secure healthcare coverage that is less expensive and/or restrictive that what those same businesses can obtain on their own.
You may be wondering what that has to do with MEPs. Well, the basis for the States' challenge is that DOL's change to the ERISA definition of "Employer" that is necessary to make the regulation work is unreasonable and, therefore, exceeds their authority. The trick is that the DOL used an almost identically worded definition in its proposed regulations expanding Multiple Employer Plans to bona fide associations. In other words, the problem with the regulation is not that it has to do with health plans, the problem is that it "stretches the definition of 'employer' beyond what ERISA's text and purpose will bear." Pretty unequivocal.
Let's take a quick look at what the Court said. The opinion sets the stage by reviewing the current requirements that apply if a group of unrelated employers want to form a single employee benefit plan (whether health or retirement):
Purpose: The association must have at least one substantial business purpose other than the provision of benefits.
Commonality: The members must have genuine commonality of interest beyond the provision of benefits.
Control: The members that participate in the benefit plan must exercise control, either directly or indirectly, in form and in substance.
The AHP regulations do not change those fundamental requirements, but they do change what it takes to satisfy them. And that is what the Court disliked, pulling no punches in describing why. This post would be far too long if we went into all the details, but here is a quick-ish description of the Court's reasoning.
The Court described the DOL's new interpretation in the AHP regulations as "flimsy" and "perfunctory" and failing "to set meaningful limits on the character and activities of an association." The opinion goes on to describe how the rule's provisions make it so that even an association that is not economically viable outside of the benefit plan would be acceptable. Here is what the Court had to say:
"In short, the Final Rule's purpose test provides no meaningful limit on the associations that would qualify as "bona fide" ERISA "employers." It does no work towards narrowing extant associations to only those that act "in the interest of" employers. Although it describes its requirement in terms of a "substantial business purpose," this requirement gives way under the slightest pressure."
Like the proposed association retirement plan regulations, the AHP regulations significantly loosen the requirements to meet the commonality requirement, indicating that simply being in the same geographic region (state or metro area) is sufficient. The Court described an example in which extremely disparate businesses in the state of California could form an AHP under the new regulations even though they have nothing in common and might even have conflicting interests. Again, the opinion says it clearly and succinctly:
"There is nothing intrinsic in common geography that would generate the types of economic or reputational ties that courts have deemed essential for a plan to be covered by ERISA."
"The Court concludes, therefore, that the geography standard under the Final Rule fails to account in any way for employers' commonality of interest. This standard effectively eviscerates the genuine commonality of interest required under ERISA, thereby expanding the scope of the statute beyond what ERISA intended. "
Last but not least, the Court describes how the control requirement is meant to work in tandem with the commonality requirement to ensure that those controlling the plan are doing so in furtherance of common interests and not just the interests of those with the loudest voices. "In other words, the control test is only meaningful if employer members' interests | 0.380002 | 0.739241 | 0.848748 | 0.906963 | [

J.L. KIFF VINEYARD AND WINERY
The J.L. Kiff Vineyard is a gorgeous dry farmed 9 acre site in the Yamhil-Carlton AVA and is the closest estate vineyard to the town of McMinnville. This is an authentic family operation. Joel is the winemaker who adapted his chemist career in 2010 to make wine and grow 9000 vines on this spectacular property which is home to native Oregon White Oak and diverse wildlife. Laurie manages the business side of the operation and is a gracious and terrific host. Tastings are held at the vineyard and often barrel tastings with the winemaker are available. Joel and Laurie host all tastings personally and you will feel like family by the time you complete this wonderful tasting experience. Completing the family contribution, the label art is by son Adam and Erin (Kiff) Sullens. Estate Pinot Noirs and library wines dating to 2010 are available for purchase as are Estate Rose' and Chardonnay produced from grapes grown at their neighbor, the Cassin Family Vineyards site. A hidden gem to share with friends!
PATRICIA GREEN CELLARS
Patricia Green Cellars enthusiastically and unapologetically produces more individual bottlings of Pinot Noir than any winery in America. Patricia Green Cellars is located in the Ribbon Ridge AVA of the Willamette Valley on a 52 acre estate purchased in 2000 by Patty Green and Jim Anderson. The winery, and thus the two friends and business partners, are noted for producing a tremendously broad selection of vineyard designated Pinot Noirs from several vineyards representing some of the better sites in the Willamette Valley with a particular emphasis over the years on Ribbon Ridge, Dundee Hills and the Chehalem Mountains appellations.
Oregon Wine Guides would like to extend our loving memory to Patty Green (1955-2017). Patricia Green Cellars was the first winery tasting in Oregon that Oregon Wine Guides owner Charlie Garrell experienced in 2008. Patty, Jim and their wines made such an impression that Charlie closed his Colorado business and moved his family to Oregon in 2013 to join the Willamette Valley wine industry full time. Thank you Patty, your impact on the Valley was immense, we miss and love you!
SILAS WINES
The attraction of Silas Wines is not only their unique, 30+ year old high elevation Pinot Noir vineyard, but the borderline-obsessive attention to detail that extends from the fruit to the winemaking and finally to the rigorous blending. Silas produces at least three very distinct Pinots every year, growing grapes but also sourcing from some of the best vineyards around the Willamette Valley, all either organic or biodynamic. Native yeast, whole cluster fermentation and old world methods are relied upon to produce bottles that showcase the power and diversity of Oregon wine. In addition to Pinot, Silas produces an age-worthy Pinot Blanc, an ever-evolving Malbec blend, and smaller one-off bottlings of Rosé and other whites. Most wines are held back by Silas until they are drinking well, resulting in current release years spanning 2013-2017. Owners Tony Markward and Alex Clark make the wine and spend countless hours in the barrel room meticulously deciding which barrels of Pinot end up together, a process that is often overlooked or downplayed in the Oregon wine world. Tastings are usually conducted by the knowledgeable and entertaining winemaker (and ex-standup-comic) Alex Clark, at their beautiful tasting room The Bramble, in downtown Amity.
STYRING VINEYARDS
Steve and Kelley Styring established Styring Vineyards in 2003 on a 40 acre parcel of unfarmed land in the Ribbon Ridge AVA. Nine and a half | 1.087953 | 0.746403 | -0.194916 | -0.600206 | [

Four years ago the NDP decided to build the new transmission line to ensure energy security for Manitoba and to facilitate increased export sales of energy to the United States. They chose the west side route to protect the Boreal Forest on the east side of Lake Winnipeg (which would support a bid to designate the Boreal Forest as a UNESCO World Heritage site), while respecting First Nations' rights and considering long term sustainable development of the province. This Manitoba election, the Progressive Conservative party has tried to frame the west side construction of BiPole III as wrong. They claim that because the east side would be a shorter distance it would be cheaper, and therefore better.
"More than 70 prominent environmental scientists have endorsed a bid by first nations in Northern Ontario and Manitoba to have 43,000 square kilometres of intact boreal forest declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The area includes the swath of forest that would have been cut to construct a contentious hydro transmission line on the east side of Lake Winnipeg had the Manitoba government not refused to allow the project to proceed."
"One of the largest areas of untouched boreal wilderness left in the world straddles a significant section of Eastern Manitoba and Northern Ontario. The local Anishinabe First Nation calls this massive 43,000-square-kilometre region Pimachiowin Aki (Pim-MATCH-cho-win Ahh-KEY). In English, it means the "the land that gives life".
Home to such threatened species as woodland caribou, and dotted with freshwater lakes, wild rivers, and biodiversity-rich wetlands, Pimachiowin Aki has remained more or less unchanged for some 5,000 years, roughly as long as recorded human history. It is the very absence of clear-cuts, mines, hydroelectric dams, transmission lines, and other industrial infrastructure, along with the region's rich cultural landscape, that makes Pimachiowin Aki so exceptional, and it is for this reason that First Nations communities want to protect it as a UNESCO World Heritage Site."
"Fortunately, the Manitoba government has listened and is working with First Nations to protect the area for its unparalleled ecological and cultural richness. If they succeed, it would join other world-renowned UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Pyramids at Giza in Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, and the 7.7 million-hectare Ténéré Nature Reserve in the Sahara Desert region of Niger.
However, obtaining international recognition for Pimachiowin Aki as a UNESCO World Heritage Site is no easy task. The Manitoba government and local communities have had to make difficult decisions to sustain the ecological integrity of the region in the face of industrial pressures. Most notably, the government decided to reroute a planned multibillion dollar hydro transmission line away from the area. It would have cut through the heart of the World Heritage Site. The controversial decision has become political fodder in the current Manitoba election campaign.
Many environmental groups and scientists, including the David Suzuki Foundation, support the government?s difficult decision. We believe Pimachiowin Aki must be protected as a special place where rivers run wild, caribou roam unfettered by industrial development, and the centuries-old values of its indigenous peoples are honoured and respected."
"The west side of Lakes Manitoba and Winnipegosis, where the west-side route is proposed, contains pockets of high-value boreal, but it is fragmented with lower value boreal, farmland, roads, forestry, mining and hydro-electric activity and settlements. The difference between the two areas is the intactness of the eastside. In fact, a global map of the boreal forest shows the east side of Lake Winnipeg and the western part of Ontario to have the highest quality boreal forest in the world.
"Although not 100% pristine, the east side is intact, referring to its ". . . continuity of systems and processes, un-fragmented and distant from human infrastructure". It is both the considerable size of the area and its intactness that make it unique in the world, not just in Canada.
According to The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the area in question contains several interconnected natural environments that provide important "ecosystem services". In order for these | 1.679653 | 2.472569 | 1.870853 | 1.133282 | [

services to continue to be provided, natural environments within the region have to remain whole and connected. One of the most important services is that of wildlife habitat, particularly in this case, for the boreal woodland caribou."
BiPole III will cost more to go down the west side of the province than the east side.
On the surface this statement is correct, as the west side route for BiPole III will have some $400 million of additional upfront costs plus another $240 million for line loss. While this may be a lot of money, in reality the additional costs of building Bipole 3 on the west side amounts to only 3% of Manitoba Hydro's total capital program for the next decade. That's the difference between paying $1.09 for a loaf of bread instead of $1.06.
However, if the government of Manitoba were to reconsider its decision and construct BiPole III down the east side of Lake Winnipeg, through the intact Heart of the Boreal forest, these savings would be eaten up very quickly.
in order to come back a short distance correctly."
Throughout this election campaign Progressive Conservative Leader Hugh McFadyen has attacked the NDP government for not joining the New West Trade agreement. McFadyen asserts that joining the New West agreement and cutting red tape would help Manitoba businesses. Now politicians of all stripes agree that trade is good and that we need healthy trade for a strong economy and vibrant communities. However, we also need our provincial government to be a strong advocate for us - their constituents - when negotiating trade deals, both internationally and within Canada.
So far, Manitoba has stayed out of the interprovincial New West Trade agreement. This agreement puts trade panels in authority over our governments, who can be fined for not abiding by the trade panel decisions. A provincial government under the New West cannot set policy to support or encourage provincial business or to prefer a bid for reasons of locality. Expert trade lawyer Steve Shrybman has published a report showing how agreements of this kind threaten our public services and serve to further deregulate provincial policies that protect communities and the environment. This is the same regional trade agreement that the conservative party promises to join, and that would preclude them carrying out their other promise about benefiting local businesses and jobs.
On election day remember"pro-trade" is not the same thing as smart trade and support the party you know will stand up for Manitobans.
The federal and provincial governments are currently negotiating with European Union representatives on a Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). The EU is requiring that in exchange for greater access to European markets, Canada would have to adopt an across jurisdiction open procurement policy. This means that when the federal, provincial, or a municipal government decides to purchase goods or services they would be legally required to only consider price. An open procurement policy would severely limit the ability of governments to stimulate local economies and create local jobs.
Given that the next provincial government elected will be representing Manitobans at the bargaining table with the EU voters should know where the parties stand on the CETA. The Progressive Conservatives' platform promises that they "will join national, international and regional trade agreements" but they also state that they "will formulate pro-trade policies for Manitoba that will benefit local businesses and jobs." The PC platform doesn't mention the CETA by name but the PC's cannot have it both ways, either they are honest when they write in their platform that they "recognize the tremendous level of services provided by local governments and respect the leadership and input demonstrated by elected municipal officials" or they sign on to the CETA with its open procurement policy and prevent municipal governments from hiring local companies.
I would quote the NDP, Liberal, and Green Party's stances on the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement but none of their platforms have any references to any trade agreements.
With all of this discussion about the future of Manitoba Hydro you would hope that the political parties would reference how this proposed trade deal would limit Northern economic development by preventing Manitoba Hydro from contracting jobs to First Nations groups.
The Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement will have huge implications for the Manitoba economy and how our governments can respond to economic recessions. If democracy is to work and elections are to be more than a daily affair of bickering and one-liners, | 0.289432 | 0.5369 | 0.544399 | 0.417905 | [

we need to have political parties willing to take stands on difficult and complicated issues. Manitobans don't support "pro-trade" policies for pro-trade sake, but rather are for smart trade policies and the CETA is not smart and will not benefit our economy.
During these final days of the campaign, demand that your candidates tell you their stance on the CETA. Tell them local governments and local jobs are important and that the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement is not good for Manitoba.
A critical issue in the coming election is the environment. Not a day passes when we are not reminded of the human impacts on the natural environment and the need to plan for our future and for the coming generations.
All levels of government need to work together with all sectors of society to create and implement a plan with the core values of preserving our natural environment. Manitobans need to have clean air and water, local and equitable food strategies, best-practice waste management to reduce our impact and secure publicly-owned power sources to move beyond the petroleum era. It's everyone's job but we especially need our Provincial government to provide visionary leadership.
We at the Council of Canadians - Winnipeg Chapter have reviewed platform documents, election questionnaires, press releases, party track records and the All-Candidates Panel on the Environment.
The Green Party provides the most innovative ideas, but with little experience actually running a huge bureaucracy like a provincial government, their role can be best utilized as activists to push the mainstream parties and rally public opinion around excellent concepts like micro-energy generation, free public transit and a GMO-free agriculture in Manitoba.
The NDP have a working track record with many successes like its moratorium on hog production, commitment to rapid transit and the protection of the Boreal Forest through the Bi-pole III project. However, many critics, including the environmentalist community, would like more changes more aggressively sought.
The Liberals offer some substantial platform concepts such as phosphorous elimination, Kyoto targets and a green energy plan.
The Progressive Conservatives have not deemed the environment important enough to have a place in their platform. This is unacceptable and should be a major consideration for every voter considering a Conservative vote.
This coming Provincial election on October 4th, please choose your candidate and party wisely according to the practicality and commitment to their position on the environment.
The Council of Canadians - Winnipeg Chapter attended the All-Candidates Panel on the Environment held on September 14th at the Unitarian Church on Wellington Crescent. The candidates present were James Beddome (Green Party), Paul Hesse (Liberal), Heather Stefanson (PC) and Jennifer Howard (NDP). The Council of Canadians prepared a score-card so that the audience could rank the candidates and party positions as well as provide their own comments. Here are some highlights of the positions presented, audience comments and scores.
James Beddome, Green Party, came in first place with the audience giving him an average score of 8.3 out of 10.
Ban all agricultural land drainage and provide subsidies to farmers who will restore wetlands.
Greenhouse gases significantly reduced by providing free bus service.
Would focus on alternative energy production in Southern Manitoba instead of costly Northern hydro electricity projects.
Introduce a provincial composting program, deposit on recyclables and would not permit the transport of nuclear waste through our Province.
The Green Party's approach to CETA is fair trade not free trade with an emphasis on local food production.
"Had big dreams on most issues. Has very interesting arguments about farming and greenhouse gases."
Jennifer Howard, NDP, came in second place with an average score of 6.7 out of 10.
The NDP has put in place regulations for "Protected Areas" and are committed to a more costly West side route for the Bipole project in order to protect the Boreal forest.
NDP 1987 High Level Radio-Active Waste Act indicating that transportation of nuclear waste through the Province would not be permitted.
Committed to rapid-transit and 50/50 transit subsidy funding in municipalities.
NDP is committed to the Canadian Wheat Board and to the Northern Manitoba greenhouse program.
NDP is aware of CETA and its ramifications.

comfortable inaction."
Paul Hesse , Liberal, came in third place with an average score of 5.1 out of 10.
Water management plan focused on retention and storage of water to deal with drought/flood patterns of climate change.
Active transportation and rapid transit are on the Liberal plan and have long been a personal commitment of Hesse's through his work with the Rapid Transit Coalition.
Liberals are committed to a composting program, deposit for containers and will not allow the transporting of nuclear waste through the province.
Heather Stefanson, Progressive Conservative, came in last place with an average score of 3.5 out of 10.
The Conservatives will be releasing an environmental plan in the near future and therefore Stefanson could not comment on a plan for wetlands, nor for any waste management issues.
Stefanson would not comment on what she referred to as a speculative question on the transportation of nuclear wastes through our province.
The issue of greenhouse gas would be dealt with by a task force to maintain target.
A Conservative Government would cancel the West-side Bipole III project and instead construct an East side route through the Boreal Forest. Stephanson asserted that an East route would not jeopardize UNESCO designation for this forest.
The Federal Conservative and Manitoba Progressive Conservative parties are fully in support of the CETA and the concept of Free Trade in general.
"Most comments she made related to consulting and then determining best practice. As a party in opposition for 12 years the PC should already know what best practices would be! Spoke to philosophy of issues - no real details of what exactly does "support" and "encourage" mean."
"Talked more rhetoric than information...Too many references to press releases."
"Many answers were quite vague, development issues were skipped over, and education/ long-term initiatives seemed to take a backseat to short-term topics."
NDP is preventing hog manure from entering our waterways, expanding on clean hydro and wind energy, expanding protected areas including the Boreal Forest, requiring the City of Winnipeg to upgrade the North End sewage treatment plant.
The Liberals will introduce a green energy plan, support composting programs, save our lakes by reducing or eliminating phosphorous, protect the Boreal forest, create a plan to meet Kyoto targets with a focus on agriculture, transportation and energy efficiency, assist farmers to shift to organic production.
The Progressive Conservatives have a scant environmental platform. They have one press release outlining a brief plan to address Lake Winnipeg including a goal of reducing phosphorous inputs by 20% by the year 2020. This, coupled with the PC pro free-trade stance will severely restrict our local decision-making on how our natural resources are used and protected.
For additional information pertaining specifically to this coming election and party positions, please see the website of the non-profit group Manitoba Wildlands. Their six topical questionnaires (Lake Winnipeg, Licensing and Environment Act, Hydro and Energy, East Side Region, Protected Areas, Parks and World Heritage Site, Climate Change, Carbon and Emissions) include responses from all parties.
What if the Government said your vote didn't matter?
The farmer owned CWB (Canadian Wheat Board) handles export sales of Canadian barley and wheat, pooling every penny of profits back to the farmers. The CWB is known as a formidable international competitor, successfully defending against free trade legal actions, finding the best markets in tough times and mitigating the effect of fluctuating grain prices.
When the Harper government put in motion their plan to scrap the single desk, not-for-profit wheat board in favour of a multitude of competing private businesses, farmers spoke out strongly against that decision. In the recent plebiscite, over 40,000 farmers (62%) voted to keep the single desk CWB in place.
The Harper government is ignoring farmers' choice.
There has been a lot of talk about the wheat board "monopoly," and the restrictions it places on farmers. But the wheat board, as the powerful unified voice for thousands of prairie farmers, allows farmers to compete head-on with large international grain companies, while having the pooled resources to ride out periods | 0.288918 | 1.061554 | 0.861429 | 0.257921 | [

of lower prices.
We don't need to guess at the results if the wheat board is privatized and farmers begin selling directly to grain buyers. The Australian Wheat Board has already undergone the change, and is now broken up and taken over by Canadian fertilizer company Agrium and U.S. agri-food giant Cargill. With farmers competing against each other instead of working cooperatively through the wheat board, prices dropped, quality standards slipped and logistics fell apart.
In Denmark, farmers gamble every year on whether to sell grain on contract or wait out the market. The private companies who buy the grain often sell many different products, making farmers' interests secondary to the goals and bottom line of the company.
Where farmers take on the enormous task of dealing directly with buyers, they have to waste precious farming time keeping track of the markets and negotiating with companies who have the resources to wait out cash and time strapped producers.
Farmers will have to make their own shipping arrangements instead of being able to rely on short lines (serving those who live farther from the main elevators) and producer car loading sites (railway sidings where farmers load their own grain, at a savings of about $1600 per railcar). Without the CWB, farmers won't have the resources to maintain these essential parts of the shipping system, for-profit grain companies and railways won't have the interest, and producers who live too far from main terminals won't be able to carry the increased costs of selling their grain.
Our current government in Manitoba is a powerful voice in support of the wheat board. Ask your candidates whether they will fight for farmers and do what it takes to keep the CWB.
Sign the CWBA's e-postcard telling Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and your own MP to respect farmers' vote!

Excerpt from John Morriss's editorial in the Manitoba Cooperator - August 11, 2011.
As each election passes more voter resources become available on-line. The upcoming provincial general election has generated sites chock full of a variety of useful information and even some fun interactive tools.
The Elections Manitoba's official website offers resources for participating in Manitoba provincial elections. They conduct Manitoba's provincial elections, by-elections and referendums and operate free of political influence. It's their job to make sure every eligible citizen has the opportunity to vote. The best place to start is to find out who your candidates are in your electoral division and where you can vote.
The citizen-created, volunteer-run ManitobaElection.ca website is a great resource for getting to know your candidates. Candidates are listed along with links to their web pages, email addresses, Facebook fan pages, Twitter feeds and even You Tube channels. News articles that mention candidates are automatically gathered from Google News and fed directly onto the website, as well as a scrolling Twitter feed with all comments using the hash tags #mbvotes.
The University of Manitoba's Understanding the Manitoba Election has run a series of cafe events encompassing a wide range of topics "...intended to raise the level of knowledge and awareness of politics in Manitoba, so that more citizens may engage meaningfully in the democratic process." If you missed a cafe they are available to watch on their You Tube channel.
The Winnipeg Free Press has quite a selection of engaging features on their Democracy Project. The website is not only a rich source of articles from Free Press journalists, but also has everything from video clips and the full Chamber of Commerce leaders debate to a voter issue quiz and the somewhat addictive "Whack an Issue" game.
The CBC's Manitoba Votes 2011 website has video clips, the scrolling tweets tagged with #mbvotes, as well as their fair-minded Reality Check series - offering straightforward facts on the election issues that are often being exaggerated or completely discounted.
CTV Winnipeg's Your Vote page also has video clips, the twitter scroll, and an election story archive.
Please remember to come out to vote on TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4th or check out the advance voting for even more convenience.

system of finding and recommending the most effective methods of crime prevention, based on careful, thorough research and clear, significant results. Public Safety Canada has published a number of reports intended to assist governments as they make decisions about crime prevention strategies.
There's even a report called "Evidence Based Crime Prevention: Scientific basis, trends, results and implications," in which the most successful methods are outlined in detail, with full statistical support.
So, we know how best to prevent crime.
Prison does not appear in the list.
Here in Winnipeg, there is a never ending struggle to ensure funding for programs like Circle of Courage and Ndinawe; programs that fit exactly into these categories. Instead of funding these programs, federal money is directed toward building more prisons and the municipal budget toward more police and a police helicopter. Now it's true that where there are criminals, police and up-to-the-minute equipment make it easier to catch them, but isn't an ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure?
Kids aren't born criminals; they're born kids. Life in prison doesn't bring back a murder victim. Early intervention with effective programs and accessible resources for at-risk children can prevent a murder from happening.
There are many potentially successful programs already in place in Manitoba and there's room for many more. If we truly want to reduce our crime rate, we need to put our tax dollars into proven crime prevention strategies; but with the popular, ill-informed push to hire more police, build more prisons and fill them with more prisoners serving longer sentences, our elected representatives will be in danger of once again letting political considerations dominate as they address crime in Manitoba.
Talk to your candidates. Tell them you want to help stop kids from becoming criminals. Tell them you want your tax dollars to pay for prevention, not punishment.
Who's Defending the Local Economy in EU Trade Deal?
The Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union (EU) is currently being negotiated behind closed doors by the Harper government, provincial representatives, and the EU. The European Union is demanding the inclusion of an open procurement policy across all levels of government jurisdiction. This would result in both provinces and municipalities being effectively banned from applying any preferences in public contracting or procurement. Local and provincial governments could not purchase local goods, hire local companies, or sign contracts that had any considerations other than price. Infrastructure projects would no longer be an investment in local job creation as any corporation could sue a government that hired a local company that did not offer the lowest price.
An enforced open procurement policy would severely limit the ability of governments to respond to economic downturns with stimulus spending.
In Manitoba valued public assets like Manitoba Hydro, the Winnipeg International Airport, and Winnipeg Transit have all been identified as public assets that EU corporations could outbid and takeover. Given Winnipeg's recent deal with the notorious French Water Company, Veolia, for a 30 year contract for our waste water treatment centres and with the CETA in effect there would be tremendous pressure placed on all Manitoba municipalities to privatize their water and waste services. The CETA would force governments to make decisions where profitability would have legal precedence over local economic concerns, the needs of the community, and the human right to the public availability of water.
As it stands the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement between Canada and the European Union would restrict local and provincial government and limit our ability to make democratic choices about our economy. We would lose control over our resources, our jobs, our economy, and our local government.
Stephen Harper wants the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement signed by 2012, but he needs the cooperation of the provinces. During this election talk to your MLA and local candidates and tell them about your concerns over the CETA. Make sure that the next government of Manitoba will defend our local economy and our democracy by saying NO to the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement.

Literary Advocates Redefine Their World Without Books
Teaching for Change bookstore
Looking up from a paperback, you notice the bookstore's packed but no one's reading or buying anything. Not the ladies blocking the aisle to the restrooms, laughing loud and talking to each other over bookcases. And, certainly, not the couple making out over in the poetry section. Those groups leave when a hostess calls them to be seated in the adjoining restaurant. They're replaced by a group of guys taking their conversation from the bar to the bookstore and bringing their drinks along to be placed on those shelves.
And of all its purposes, one thing's clear: books may function only as decorations for some people. But what if they ceased to exist, or never existed at all? No bookstores or libraries. No spot — and no way — for book fiends to cop a fix and nod off in literary stupors. That question has some writers, literary activists and advocates in D.C. redefining their world.

"Without our literary legacy we would have to 'dream' a world," said E. Ethelbert Miller, who chairs and serves on the boards of the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) and The Writer's Center, respectively. Since 1974, he has been the director of the African American Resource Center at Howard University. "I can't imagine an educational institution like a college without books," the poet and author said. Try imagining Islam without the Quran. "Impossible," he said. Books help shape identity.
They shaped his while growing up in the South Bronx during the late 1950s and early 1960s. That period, known as the post-World War II era, was dominated by the "Beat Generation." The literary movement formed in New York City around Columbia University and was established later in San Francisco. The term "beat" — according to various sources — "referred to the countercultural rhythm of the Jazz scene" and "to a sense of rebellion regarding the conservative stress of post-war society."

During that era, bookstores were popular places for writers and thinkers. Miller recalled spending Saturdays with his brother, hitting up bookstores in Greenwich Village. "We fail to understand that a bookstore is not simply where one goes to purchase a book — it's also a place of community," he said. Of the times now, he added, "We are a people in need of new literary guardians. The loss of our literary institutions is a victory of ignorance."
That victory of ignorance once had people thinking the world was flat. Only through literature were they able to dismiss such a notion, said Abdul Ali, host of Poet's Corner on WPFW. "Literature offers dimension to our imagination and records the evolution of our intellectual heritage," he said. It's also "a record of conversations that authors have with society since the beginning of presses." Without books, he added, all of that is lost.
So why is something so significant taken for granted? "There are way too many things that compete with literature these days," Ali said. "We're seeing the consequences of this across the nation." Recent data by the National Right to Read Foundation (NRRF), a literary advocacy group, showed that 42 million American adults are illiterate. About 50 million are not reading at fourth or fifth grade levels, and the number of functionally illiterate adults increases by about 2.25 million each year. "Our literate culture is deteriorating," Ali said. He recalled a time when writers used literature to communicate to large populations. "Nowadays," Ali added, "writers are just talking to other writers."

Casey Tesfaye, poet and senior research analyst at the American Institute of Physics in College Park, Md., can't imagine a world without her books. Her appreciation for them came when she went through what she called "a period of detox and transition" after completing a strenuous college program. "I used them as an escape from my thoughts and my life," Tesfaye said. "At the time, I especially appreciated [Native American writer] Sherman Alexie's dark novel, | 1.455026 | 0.886072 | 1.343315 | 0.048511 | [

'Indian Killer.'"
To some folks, literary institutions are seen as "high-minded and made out to be distant or unavailable," she said. Some people are put off by the idea and attitude of some artists and intellectuals that literature belongs to some and not others. "The word 'literary,' alone, evokes wine and slippers," Tesfaye said. However, "The truth is that there is something out there within the literary world for everyone. There is something that can stir you, no matter who you are."
Brian Gilmore
Brian Gilmore, a public interest lawyer and poet and writer and columnist, has a different take on the idea of a world without books. "I don't think our world will ever be without a literary legacy, I just think that legacy is evolving into something else based up on our development and our ability to communicate with each other differently now," Gilmore said. Before books, there was an oral history that often included folklore, myths, songs and stories that were passed down from generations by word of mouth.
Both E. Ethelbert Miller and the poet Joel Dias-Porter (aka DJ Renegade) agreed that without books, the oral history would be one that's strong and current. "We might be more communal without the book," Miller said. Dias-Porter added that people would have better memories. "There would still be stories and poems, they just wouldn't be written down and would be a little harder to share across cultures," the poet said. And what's lost without books? "The ease with which information can be communicated, not just across physical space, but across time," Dias-Porter said. "We know Chaucer's work because it was preserved in a written form."

And just like those oral histories were recorded in written form and printed inside of books, Gilmore said the way people communicate is ever-changing. Technology, he noted, is already forcing books to become something else. (Books and articles can be downloaded and read off electronic devices; and Google introduced its electronic reader, the Kindle, in 2007.) So, 100 years from now, will parents read to their children? the poet and columnist wonders. Or will that intimacy be lost with e-books and electronic readers? While there's no way of knowing that, Gilmore said, "These are the kinds of technological issues that are before us that will change us but will also open up enormous possibilities for development and knowledge exchange."

Charli B. says:
This is a great post, Alan! The faces of this time in literature are well spoken above. But a great question posed also: What would the world be like without books!? I agree that the oral culture would be stronger, but there would be no welcome escape.
In my house, everywhere I turn there are stacks of books! My world would be much emptier!
Alan King says:
Thanks, Charli 🙂 Yeah, mine would be empty, too.
Lisa Hill says:
Of all the things thta depress me about the modern world, it's the idea of a world without books that depresses me most.

Our 2015 Grammy Predictions
The 57th Annual Grammy Awards will be held on February 8, 2015, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Who will win this year's most coveted awards? Find out our picks below:
Album of the Year:
Nominees:
Beck – Morning Phase
Beyoncé – Beyoncé
Ed Sheeran– X
Pharrell– GIRL
Sam Smith– In The Lonely Hour
Winner: Beyoncé – Beyoncé. Beyoncé's self-titled fifth album was released without warning in December 2013 and changed the industry. She has never won this award, although has been nominated in the past. Sam Smith may prove to be Beyoncé's biggest competition in this category and could easily take the award from Queen B.
Song of the Year:
Sam Smith – "Stay With Me (Darkchild Version)"
Sia – "Chandelier"
Winner: Sam Smith. "Stay With Me" was one of the biggest songs of the year and is likely to take home this award. Sia's "Chandelier" has a shot at winning this award too. Sia is a well-known and respected songwriter in the industry and given that this a songwriting award, she could take this home. Hozier's "Take Me To Church" was a beautifully written song and may receive the recognition it deserves.
Record of the Year:
Iggy Azalea – "Fancy (ft. Charli XCX)"
Winner: Most likely, Sam Smith will win for "Stay With Me" but don't count Taylor Swift and her mega hit "Shake It Off" out just yet.
Best New Artist:
Winner: Sam Smith. He is by far the front runner in this category. Iggy Azalea is the only other nominee that has shared in Sam Smith's commercial success, but Sam Smith should win this award. Let's just hope the Best New Artist curse stays far away from Mr. Smith.

Tolkien's Christianity: Not Incidental, but Central
By Bradley J. Birzer|2016-02-12T15:27:58-05:00June 21st, 2015|Categories: Bradley J. Birzer, Catholicism, Christianity, Culture, J.R.R. Tolkien|
Over the past fifteen years, an immense number of books dealing with J.R.R. Tolkien have appeared on the bookshelves. No doubt Peter Jackson's movies has provided some rather mighty advertising for the former Oxford don. Sadly, however, many recent authors who have written about Tolkien frequently fall into one of two camps: those who write about his Christianity, and those who do not.
Well, to be fair, every author mentions his Christianity. Almost no one, however, gets it quite right.
Even a cursory review of Amazon's booklist reveals how many neo-Franklinites (those obsessed with scheduling and conforming their lives to the utilitarian rhythm of some eighteenth-century enlightenment god) and Christian evangelicals want to discuss the not-so-secret gospel message of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
On the other side, there are those who want to look only at Tolkien's employment of paganism and his nearly divine faculty with languages. Many of the latter are divided, strangely, between atheists and fundamentalists. The atheists love his paganism while the fundamentalists despise it. Many of the fundamentalists, strangely, have no problem with the goddess Venus descending upon the good Christians of Lewis's That Hideous Strength, but they fear Tolkien's Sam's prayers to Elbereth, queen of heaven.
Yes, it's all so bizarre and so tangled, like much in this world of confusion–a world Tolkien both accepted and lamented.
What exactly were Tolkien's views on the things that his followers seem so readily to divide over? Well, to be frank, they're making divisions where no such divisions existed. First, Tolkien had as great a grasp of language as anyone of the past century. As one of his obituarists noted, Tolkien seems to have had the ability to get "inside language" itself. Not only could he write and speak some fifteen languages, he also designed several of his own. Scholars such as Carl Hostettler and Patrick Wynne have labored to preserve this aspect of Tolkien, publishing his dictionaries, grammars, and glossaries, as well as his translations, for example, of the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary in Elvish.
Second, Tolkien was a faithful Catholic, meaning he did not see Christianity as a break with the pre-Christian world, but as a fulfillment of it. That is, Catholics (and Eastern Orthodox) reject the misguided and inhumane (as well as strategically foolish) longing to erase all pagan elements of the past and begin anew. Instead, they understand that Christ came as a fulfillment—as much for the Jews as for the Greeks and the Romans and the Anglo-Saxons and Kenyans and Chinese and. . . you get the point. When early Christians encountered a pagan shrine, they did not burn it; they baptized it. Almost every Christian holy place in the Old World (and often in the New) sits atop a pre-Christian site of worship.
As I've had the privilege of mentioning elsewhere at The Imaginative Conservative, Gandalf serves as the perfect symbol of the many becoming one. As a member of the Istari, the Grey Pilgrim is equal parts St. Michael, Job, and Odin. He also holds one of the three offices of Christ: prophet. And yet, he is also fully Tolkienian.
And, third, Tolkien was indeed a loyal Catholic. Prior to Vatican II (which he accepted, but reluctantly), it would be difficult to find a single criticism of the Church from Tolkien's pen or conversation. He had the Mass memorized in Latin, he carried his rosary with him at all times, and he attended Mass as often as possible. He and Christopher Dawson even attended the same parish. Catholicism was not just something that Tolkien participated in. He was fully Catholic.
As he saw it, his mother—a | 1.789227 | 0.977394 | 1.338242 | 0.940781 | [

Dr Julian Lewis: In the time available, I shall speak about Trident, propaganda and security. I realise that the Government Front-Bench team has no formal responsibility for the security services, but I hope to speak about them nevertheless, because they have implications for the defence of this country. I shall not expect particular answers on the questions that I raise.
"What, us? Unilateralists? Never. Never heard the idea."
It seems as hard to find an ex-CND supporter on the Government Benches as it was to find a supporter of Adolf Hitler in Berlin in 1945 or of Communist Soviet power in Moscow after 1991.
Some people, however, stick to their former opinions. The hon. Member for Islington, North (Jeremy Corbyn) said that public opinion was in favour of getting rid of the bomb. That is news to many of us. Throughout the second Cold War, when it was far more dangerous in nuclear confrontation terms, my colleagues and I commissioned opinion poll after opinion poll to ask whether people thought that Britain should continue to possess nuclear weapons, as long as other countries did so.
Time and again we got the same answer, and we did so in subsequent years, too. Two-thirds of people think that Britain should possess nuclear weapons as long as other countries have them; one quarter want unilateral nuclear disarmament. It does not change, and I do not believe that it has changed.
Mr John Smith: The hon. Gentleman is exploiting it now.
Dr Lewis: No, I am not; I am applauding the fact that the Minister for the Armed Forces admitted that at one stage he was on the wrong side of the argument. I could not help but be amused, however, at the contrasting claim of the hon. Member for Blaydon (John McWilliam) that, when he was in CND, CND had been a multilateralist organisation.
"the deep revulsion of the British people to the presence of nuclear bases on United Kingdom soil."
"away. If we can't negotiate them away realistically, we've still got to get rid of them."
Never mind, the hon. Gentleman is on the right side now.
I turn to Trident. It has been suggested that money could be saved by reducing readiness through halving the number of warheads and taking the submarines off 24-hour patrol. Time does not permit me to examine that suggestion in detail, but I ask the Minister: does he think that he will save any money by removing warheads and putting a smaller number on Trident missiles? If he will not – and I suspect that it may cost money – it will be the most meaningless form of gesture politics.
By reducing the readiness of Trident or any other armed force, we run another risk. If we wait for a crisis to arise before restoring readiness, we risk intensifying the crisis by restoring readiness when the international scene has darkened. That is one of the reasons why, when Britain had run down our forces as a result of the appalling 10-year no-war rule which operated from 1919 to 1932 – we finally got rid of it after Hitler came to power – the Government did not feel able to campaign openly for rearmament until 1936. They were afraid of intensifying the crisis by rearming sooner.
We must recognise that Trident is a comprehensive deterrent against nuclear blackmail from whichever rogue Government or future super-power the threat may come. We have a great advantage over the planners of the 1920s who, as I have said in this place before, had so little idea of where the threat would come from that each of the three armed services made its hypothetical defence plans against an entirely different country. If I remember correctly, the Royal Navy made plans against the Japanese; the Army planned against the Russians; and the RAF planned against the French. I shall comment no further on the latter point.
We do not face that sort of dilemma with Trident because it will deter any possible nuclear threat from any identifiable future enemy. I remind those who ask from where the threat would come or who say, "If there is no threat today, why do we need it?" that the life-span of our deterrent will be at least 30 years. It is worth remembering that the life-span of the Third Reich was only 12 years, from 1933 to 1945.

What it says on the tin: Message from the Morning Man
I have two sisters – Jenny and Jean. They both have English names. So does my mum, Grace. As a kid, I used to wish I had one too. I even made one up for myself: Jonathan. I chose it because it started with a J, which meant it would fit right in with my two sisters' names. I remember how I used to write "Jonathan Kojo Yankson" on the backs of all my notebooks. Of course, it was a phase, and I grew out of it eventually, but I did still wonder why my father never gave me an English name. I later realised it was because he didn't have an English name either, and he had obviously wanted me to be just like him. Kojo Yankson, son of Kobina Yankson.
Shakespeare's character, Juliet asks, "What's in a name?" Well, as it turns out, there's a great deal in a name. Our parents name us according to what kind of person they want us to be. Asantes often name their children after a rich Uncle, first, in the hope that the Uncle will be flattered enough to take some financial responsibility for the child, but also, in the hope that the child will grow to be as wealthy and successful as the Uncle whose name they share. Evěs often name their children with words that describe positive things, like Peace, Joy, Hope and Wisdom. There is an obvious desire for their children to adopt these character traits as they grow.
Parents in the Western world do the same. Baby Gabriel is a little angel, Baby Rose is a delicate flower, Baby Arthur, is a future king, and Baby Chastity… well, we can only hope… Basically, a name is a label which is meant to describe the contents. There's a popular English expression: "…does what it says on the tin". In today's world of uncertainty and unreliability, this expression has come to symbolise the highest level of honesty and dependability with which an object, or even a person, may be described. So today, I want us to think for a moment about our names. Does your name describe your contents? Do you do what it says on your tin?
My friends, this is something we've probably all taken for granted, but it's actually a serious matter. Once you are given a name, you are given a purpose. Failing to live up to your name means failing to fulfil your purpose. If your name is Victor, you're supposed to win. If your name is Charity, you're supposed to be kind. If your name is Nhyira, you're supposed to be a blessing onto others. What is the point of a person called Mercy who can't forgive, or a person called Justice who takes bribes? A name is a promise, and a person or thing that doesn't live up to their name is a disappointment to all who encounter them.
If you open an account with Fidelity Bank, you expect them to treat you with loyalty and faithfulness. If you go to the African Regent Hotel, you expect to be treated like African Royalty. If you go to Lighthouse Chapel, you expect to encounter a beacon of hope.
Your name is your purpose. If you don't believe me, just check in the Bible. God changed people's names when he changed their purpose and destiny. Abram (High Father) became Abraham (Father of a Multitude); Sarai (My Princess) became Sarah (Mother of Nations);Simon (He has heard) became Peter (Rock). Sometimes, the contents change, and so the label must change too.
Bombay became Mumbai to correct a three-century-old mispronunciation that only served to remind its citizens that they were once ruled by strangers; Siam became Thailand, which means "Land of the Free"; the Gold Coast became Ghana after independence, to divorce ourselves from the reason why we had been exploited for centuries, and align ourselves with the proud, ancient warrior kingdom of winners from which we were descended. Sixty-two years since the name change, have we done what it says on our tin?

Mary Mulvihill Association
About Award
Mary Mulvihill
This page documents the privacy statement for The Mary Mulvihill Association.
Last updated: June 2018
Mary Mulvihill Association – Privacy Statement
The Mary Mulvihill Association was formed in 2016 to commemorate the life and work of science writer and broadcaster Mary Mulvihill, who died after a short illness in June 2015. In the course of its work the Association collects personal information on its members and people interested in supporting its endeavours. This Statement outlines the basis on which any personal data collected from individuals by the Association, or provided to the Association, is processed.
2. Members and Supporters
The Mary Mulvihill Association collects and stores specific information about its members. This includes: name, postal address, email address, contact phone numbers and details of financial transactions between the Association and its members. From time-to-time the Association may collect and store specific personal information about individuals who support the work of the Association but who may not necessarily be members, e.g. donors, speakers at events, members of judging panels, invitees to events, award winners.
The information collected is used for the administration of the Association and to promote events run by the Association on behalf of its members. The Association's mailing list is only used for events that are relevant to the Association. Emails sent to the Association's mailing list advising of events include an instruction as to how an individual may unsubscribe from the list.
The data is stored in databases and is only accessed by specified officers of the Executive Committee for the conduct of the Association's business. The Association's mailing lists are stored in an encrypted form.
Financial data about members and supporters is not kept in hard copy. Once the relevant information has been transferred to the Association's Internet Bank Account all associated hard copy records are destroyed.
Personal data is never shared with any other body or organisation unless such a body or organisation has been employed by the Association for a specific purpose, e.g. organisation of an event on its behalf. Third party organisations do not keep this information and it is only used for the purpose for which the Association contracts them. Personal information may be disclosed to a third party if the Association is under a duty to disclose or share personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation.
Once a person ceases to be a member of the Association, or requests that their personal information is no longer to be held by the Association, will have their personal information deleted from the Association's current records. Names and contact details of members and of applicants to, and winners of, award may be archived by the Association for the historical record.
At some events, photographs are taken that may include people's images and are published on the website. Where this occurs the Executive Committee offers the opportunity for those concerned to ask for their image to be removed and will comply with such request in a timely fashion.
3. Use of the Association's website
All applications for awards are made on line via the Association's website, https://marymulvihillaward.ie, in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the awards.
Individuals also subscribe to our email newsletter via the website.
The collection, storage, retention and removal of personal information on the Association's website are governed by the Association's Website Privacy Statement which can be viewed at https://marymulvihillaward.ie/web-privacy/.
4. Individuals' rights
Any individual who wishes to exercise their legal rights in relation to their personal data viz.:

Alliance pastor, Rev. John Janney, makes discipling men a key component of his ministry. Men's Disciplemaking (MD) interviewed Pastor Janney regarding his approach to discipling men.
MD - If I understand correctly, you disciple a few men in the church at a time and then send them on to disciple other men.
MD - What priority do you give to discipling men?
PASTOR JANNEY – In terms of time and on an on-going basis, this comes in second, behind message preparation. In terms of heart orientation, this is my top priority. In America today, if men are to live anything like a victorious Christian life, they need much more than preaching. They need someone who will love them enough to get 'into' their spiritual lives, find out where the needs are, and direct the person to the Lord through the scripture. Then there is real hope that the man will be able to be the true spiritual head of the home and, where appropriate, true spiritual leaders in his church.
Some further clarification: I see a hierarchy of development in a person's life. It would look somewhat like an Aztec 'pyramid.
Even in my own life, and observably in the lives of others, there is a pattern to spiritual growth, beginning with the awareness of truth. ("You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free!") After that, a person begins to gain an apprehension/comprehension of truth, etc.
My observation is that people in America rarely go beyond the apprehension stage.
If you ask about truth--as a teacher would on a test--they can give the right/Sunday school answer. But, if you inquire more deeply into how that truth is actually permeating their lives, the gap is enormous. This study is designed to move a person through the basic teachings of the Christian life and insists that the person apply the truths. (In fact, in a former church, I simply stopped meeting with a man because he was not carrying out the 'homework' assignments. And we never finished the process because he would not commit to do what was assigned. And I would do the same today in a heart-beat.) This is not about gaining knowledge; it is about elevating a spiritual life.
MD – How do you start?
PASTOR JANNEY – After being here for about four months, and having time to pray about and evaluate our men, I simply invited two men to begin to meet with me--individually-- for a maximum of 13 'sessions'. Usually, with schedule conflicts, etc., this expands over a four-month period of time. Thus, it generally 'works' that I have three 'seasons' of discipling each year. And I do try to work with men co-incidentally, so that I'm not at the beginning of one study with one man, in the middle with a second, and toward the end with a third. (But, also, truthfully, I've found that I cannot personally disciple well more than two men co-incidentally. The time in prayer and preparation, and in the actual discipling, plus the spiritual battle that intensifies during the process, means that my limit is no more than two simultaneously.) But, plainly, I just started. That is, I made no fanfare, no public announcement, no broad-based invitations, I simply began discipling men.
MD – Whom did you select to disciple?
PASTOR JANNEY – Not to over-spiritualize, because there was some human thought/deliberation in this: but, primarily, I simply sought the Lord concerning who would be the most likely reproducers, and then approached the men individually. A few declined at first, and some have uniformly declined to this day. But, generally, the vast majority has welcomed the opportunity when invited.
I'll also admit a tendency to disciple younger men (28 - 35/40), primarily because they are in the formative years of their families and they will have the longer and greater impact for the Kingdom. Just recently, however, a man in retirement asked me to disciple him. His heart is so very genuine that I will begin with him on the next cycle. But that would not be my pattern.
MD – Why do you disciple the men individually?
PASTOR JANNEY - I approach discipling as a spiritual life study—asking in-depth, personal questions about where a man actually 'is' in his spiritual life--what are his | 0.579803 | -0.699641 | 1.196213 | -0.000915 | [

Last night I was given pure knowledge in a dream. The insight had little to do with the context of the dream, and it's kind of funny that it was slipped in at the end, just before I awoke, so I could remember it and then forget the bulk of the dream. But the revealing of understanding was important.
Understanding was given. God is LOVE. Not just mushy love but God is filled with the vibration of love, which is also joy. But this came after the dream.
In the dream I was instructed that God is HOTTER than the sun. He is BRIGHTER than the sun. When Jesus the Christ returns to earth in glory, HE WILL BE HOTTER AND BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN. Should the sun come down and touch the earth, it would be so hot that all things would burn as stubble. We should also be inclined to "hide our faces from Him" as it were, because HE IS HOT. This is because of His INFINITE amount of LOVE. His frequency, His energy (heat), His joy is more intense than the sun.
This is why our bodies must be changed to withstand His presence, as well as why He needs to "cloak" or "conceal" Himself so that He can come to earth and show Himself to us. We truly would not be able to withstand the heat of His presence, UNLESS we are transfigured with a limitless amount of LOVE as well.
This is why Moses was transfigured when he rose upon the mount, because otherwise he would have burned in YHWH's presence. Not because YHWH wanted to cause any harm, but by nature He is that MUCH LOVE.
When people shirk at the idea of love, that it's not sufficient to cure the world, they have no idea that they are in the abyss of sin of hate, malice, unbelief, false tradition, and ire. They will not be able to withstand Christ's presence not due to Christ's choices, but because of their UNWILLINGness to increase in LOVE. Perhaps they are unwilling to forgive, and choose to hold on to old wounds. Let Christ heal them. BEG Him to. Let Him cleanse you in love, and let go of your desire and need to be right on every thing. When you are purified, you increase in love. When you are sanctified, your love increases. When you forgive, it increases again.
Not that which goeth into a man defileth him, but that which goeth out. If when placed under pressure or stress you express anything but love, you are not pure yet. Beg! Him to purify you, and do not delay or be fearful of the consequences. Whatever hardship we endure by the begging will prove worthwhile in the lack of darkness, should we press forward.
Please understand that it is up to us to ask Him to help us be like Him. Should we neglect any effort in coming to Him, we will not be able to withstand his presence when he returns, just as we would not be able to withstand the sun should it kiss the earth. It would be the worst sunburn ever, and to receive relief you would wish you had a rock to crawl under. But even the rocks shout His glory and you will not be able to hide.
Know the Lord NOW. I'm no better than anyone else, and share because it was made known to me to share - with intense urgency.
As a beautiful reminder, when I walked out the door to take my son to the bus after receiving this message, the sky looked like a love sky. Pink horizons all around, despite being not the same direction as the sun.
It was as though the earth were confirming the message. It would withstand the heat because it too, is filled with LOVE. It appeared to be glowing pink, if but for a few minutes as the sun arose.
4 The Father because he gave me of his fulness, and the Son because I was in the world and made flesh mytabernacle, and dwelt among the sons of men.
5 I was in the world and received of my Father, and theworks of him were plainly manifest.
6 And John saw and bore record of the fulness of myglory, and the fulness of John's record is hereafter to be revealed.
In due time receive of his fulness, while at present we may be in "winter".

Last Note from a Wine-Stained Diary
Morale at the Meyer's house became almost non-existent. Emmaline had received a settlement from the divorce and the kids stayed with Edward. Emmaline had shown no signs of unhappiness, gave no clues to her eventual departure leaving the kids blindsided, and shocked. Topped off with Edward's new penchant for brandy.
The day I got my license, I drove straight over to the Meyer's. I ran into the house excitedly only to find no one there. It was as if no one wanted to be in that house anymore, gas lines of hypocrisy seeping through the vents and floorboards, and memories of a dream overrun by a nightmare. I heard voices coming from the other room, lo-fi voices, from a television set.
I opened a door to find Craig sitting on the floor watching a tiny television. I had no idea the Meyer's even owned a television set, but there it was, on the floor in front of my screen-fixated boyfriend. He was watching his parents' wedding tape. 'Poor baby,' I thought, 'he misses his family as a unit.' I held off on telling him about my drivers license and sat beside him with my head on his shoulder. When I looked at his face, I realized it wasn't a face of lore, sadness, or nostalgia. It was a face of anger. Without facing me he said, "I'm trying to find the black guy who ruined my family. My dad said he was at their wedding."
Emmaline had always had an obsession for black men. African American, to be specific, because she had no interest in the black men back in her home country of England. She'd often follow them for a distance while driving her car, unbeknownst even to those, also, in the car with her. She even walked down grocery aisles, any aisle, that had a black man in it. After the divorce, she relocated to Alta Dena, a city highly populated by African Americans. She was infatuated with them and had been caught with black men on two occasions by Craig's father himself, only to be kept quiet due to the embarrassment that would ensue. The main culprit, the Dracula of black men, was said to be in the Meyer's wedding tape.
A few months after the divorce, Edward gathered the remaining family members for another announcement. This time, with a small Mexican woman next to him.
"This is Gabriella. She's going to be your new mom. Gabriella, these are going to be your mihos. Except that one." Edward pointed at me. I waved. I wasn't offended by his outbursts anymore, nor was I shocked. Craig put his arm around me.
"Dad! What're you talking about?! She is NOT moving in here!" Yelled Vincent.
"Yes she is. She's my wife and your new mother."
"She isn't going to be my mother! Besides, mom is just the next town over, have you even talked about it with her?" Vincent said as Gabriella stood there with her hands clasped in front like a child being introduced to a new playmate by their parents.
"I don't have to talk to your mother about squat. Look at this one," he pointed at Gabriella with his glass, "she's not pretty, and her English isn't very good. She's going to make a wonderful wife and mother. She cleans too! I'm not sure if she cooks, but hey, I don't have anything against burritos." the former-Furor said, then took a sip from his two thirds full glass of brandy. Vincent rolled his eyes.
"Hi Gabriella, I'm Diane." said Diane.
"No! Stop right now Di." Vincent yelled.
"Both of you guys, stop," said Craig, "dad, are you really going through with this?"
"Show them the ring sweetheart," Edward said to Gabriella as he gestured toward us. She stood there. "Ringo, El Ringo. Show." She nodded and stuck out her left hand. She had it easy with a language barrier, it protected her.
"FUCK! I'm out of here if she' | 0.114798 | -0.564337 | -1.286767 | -0.794658 | [

s moving in." Shouted Vincent as he stormed off to his room.
"Vinnie, come back! Jeeze dad, when are you doing this." asked Craig.
"Ola, Diane." Interrupted Gabriella. Diane smiled.
"I got an appointment scheduled for tomorrow at City Hall." said Edward, taking another swig.
"FUCK!" echoed Vincent through the hall. Followed by the slam of his door.
"Wait, what's going on?" Donnie said suddenly. He tuned out often.
"New mom, Donnie." Edward said as he motioned his head toward Gabriella.
"Oh, okay. Ola, mi amo Donnie. Estas divirtiendote?" said Donnie. Everyone looked at him. Surprised.
"Ha ha. Eso es divertido. Yo quiero vino." replied Gabriella.
"Ah, esta bien. No te preocupes." said Donnie. Then he walked off to the kitchen without a word. We looked at each other, then at Edward who shrugged his shoulders and mouthing the words, 'I don't know.' Edward took another sip, as we all stood around until Donnie came back with a glass of wine in his hand. He handed it to Gabriella.
"Muchos gracias, Donnie." said Gabriella who took a gulp out of the glass.
"De nada." Donnie then walked back to stand where he was next to Diane.
"Since when did you learn how to speak Spanish?" asked Diane. Donnie thought about it for a moment.
"I don't know." he said sincerely. Then he walked to his room.
The next morning, Donnie went to City Hall with Edward and Gabriella as a witness. That was also the morning Craig discovered his younger brother Vincent had run away in the middle of the night. The note he left on his bed read, 'LIVING WITH MOM.' Emmaline called the house and spoke to Craig. She wanted to let us know Vincent was safe with her, and that he refused to go back for the time being. I didn't see Vincent for a couple of years.
Things weren't actually as strange as we thought it would be with Gabriella in the house. She was just like a maid, and we had doubts Edward had even slept with her, seeing as how he considered half a fifth of brandy as his nightcap, every night. Any familial advantages Edward thought would be achieved by marrying Gabriella passed under the radar, and nothing was ever said about it. It was the equivalent of getting a tattoo of the Los Angeles Angels symbol on your foot after a night of ferocious drinking. Craig disliked the way his father now threw the act of marriage around whimsically, and was determined to do it correctly. So he signed himself up for the U.S. Army.
"Do you love me?" asked Craig one night sitting on the couch with me on the front porch.
"What the fuck are you talking about? You know I do." I said.
"Katie, seriously, even if I had to leave for a long time, and you wouldn't see me?" Craig said in a sterner tone.
"Why would you be gone? You're tripping me out now. What the fuck is going on?" I turned towards him. Craig got up off the couch and reached into his pocket for a little white box and proceeded to his knee. 'Holy shit,' was my first thought. Then my eyes started to water.
"You had to know this was coming, but you might not have known that I had signed up for the army today. I know I should've said something, but you couldn't have stopped me," I covered my mouth my with hands, "Katie, I love you, and I don't want us to end up like my parents, or your parents for that matter, and ever since you came into my life, with that mouth of yours, your eccentricities, your shortcomings, all of which makes you seem imperfect to the world, but to me, and my shortcomings, and my eccentricities, you make up for it all just by being… well, Katherine, the right shape of the puzzle piece that fits snugly next to me in my life. You're the squeak in my bedroom door, the corner of the desk my big toe likes to hit, the line at the grocery store, the car keys I can never find, the p | 0.240809 | -1.194638 | -1.238579 | -1.127959 | [

ineapple on my pizza. These things are so normal in my life, and if any one of these things were to disappear, I'd be lost, but if you were to disappear, I'd crumble completely. I not only love you, but I know, for a fact, that I need you, Katherine. Will you marry …" I tackled him.
"Yes! Cheeseball! Fuck! Yes!" I shouted and cried, kissing him between every one of my words.
"And the army thing?" Craig said after he stopped me for a second.
"We'll figure it out, I'm sure." We kissed again, slow this time, for reassurance, and he placed the ring on my finger.
His father didn't like the idea as expected, but everyone else was happy. I called to tell daddy.
"Are you sure sweetie?" said daddy over the phone. Craig was standing at the door as we exchanged smiles.
"Of course, it's Craig!" I said in a reminding tone.
"Well, I know my little girl, and if Craig thinks he can handle you, and you do too, I'm one hundred percent behind you."
"Dad! You're making me sound like a basket case!"
"Ha-Ha, I'm not saying that, I'm saying I've always been proud of you, princess, that also means no matter what decision you make, I'll always believe in you, I've been and always will be proud of you."
"I love you, daddy." I smiled warmly.
"I love you too. Tell Craig I said congratulations for me okay?"
"I will. Tell Jenifer I said Hi." Jenifer was daddy's new girlfriend. "Bye daddy." I hung up the phone and smiled at Craig.
"So that looks like a go? We've got McClane's blessing! May I?" Craig gestured for the phone. The kids had pointed out daddy's resemblance to Bruce Willis' character John McClane from the movie, Die Hard, more than once.
"Yup! Who're you gonna call?"
Craig took a breath, "Mom." and he started dialing. I walked around the door where he stood, almost hiding behind it, waiting for an answer.
"Hello?" asked Craig. "Who am I speaking with? …Well is Emmaline in? …She's my mother. …Sure." He looked at me briefly then back at the desk. "Mom, it's Craig. …I'm fine, who was that? …Jef… with one f? …your fiance!?" Craig raised his voice. "Why didn't you tell us anything?! …I don't know, maybe because it is important! …I'm fine, look, I guess I called to tell you Katherine and I are engaged too. …He hasn't said anything but we can tell he's not big on it. …Before I ship out to the military. …Yeah, that was the other thing I was going to tell you. …I'd say that makes us even. Love you, bye." Craig hung up, then looked at me. I walked over without a word and put my arms around his neck.
A few weeks later, I went over to the Meyer's to pick up Craig for a night out at the movies. Inside the house, I heard Craig talking in the kitchen with a man in a suit. Edward sat on the other side of the man, glass in hand. I walked in.
"Hey babe. Give me one second." said Craig.
"And all she has to do is sign these pages, and everything will be set." said the man.
"Okay then." Craig picked up the papers.
"Is this the young woman now?" asked the man, looking at me.
"Yes this is Katherine Harvey. Katie, this is my dad's attorney, Kenneth Silverstein."
"Hello." I said.
"Hello, and congratulations to you, young lady. Well, I better be on my way. Edward, always a pleasure. Craig, again, congratulations, and should you have any questions, you have my card." With that, Mr. Silverstein shook our hands and left. Edward got up and did a mildly tipsy walk into the living room.
"Craig, what's going on?"
"Um, my dad… well, he just gave you one of his stores."

Yeah, you gotta fill these out, and you get it as soon as the next day after our wedding."
"Is this a joke?" I asked suspiciously.
"No, babe, it's legit!" Craig said. I stood there, dumbfounded, by the fact Edward would even do such a thing. Especially for me.
"I don't know what to say. I should thank him." I started walking to the living room, but Craig stopped me.
"No no no no no, not yet, he was fighting his conscience when he decided, I think he needs some alone time right now. We can thank him later."
"Stop babe, we're gonna be late for the movie."
The smoothness of the entire situation was a change from the usual hectic instability. It not only felt relaxing, but at the same time, made me feel even more suspicious. The way my life had been going in the last 4 years surrounding this family, didn't exactly allow me to let terms like easy and simple waltz into my life, not without an X-Ray scan and cavity search. It felt like I was borrowing someone's four-leaf clover, and it had to be returned sooner or later.
Craig called me one day to cancel on a date we had planned. I was fucking pissed whenever he cancelled on me, but he explained saying his mother had invited him over to meet Jef with one f. He and Emmaline were to get married before Craig and I were, and Emmaline thought it best if Jef with one f and Craig met.
Later that night, a rapid and terrified knock rapped at my window. I jumped out of bed, scared, and saw it was Craig. I opened the window and his 6'4 frame tumbled in. He laid flat on the ground breathing fast and heavy. I handed him a glass of water I kept on my nightstand, and he gulped it down.
"What the fuck happened?" I asked rubbing his chest. He waited for his breath to calm before told me what happened.
Craig had driven to his mother's new place in Alta Dena earlier that night. Emmaline opened the door.
"Hello, Craig!" she opened her arms for a hug.
"Hi, mom." they hugged awkwardly. But Emmaline pulled him closer anyway, not letting go until he hugged her back. He did after a moment.
"Nice place. It's smaller than I thought." Craig said as he looked around, taking a few steps in.
"It's all the space I need, dear. Jef is in the loo, he'll be out in a moment."
"Okay. Is Vinnie here?"
"Oh no, he stays with his girlfriends these days."
"Girl-friends? How many does he have?"
"I'm not sure, he's quite the heartbreaker." Emmaline said it as if it were normal. Craig didn't respond. "Tea, dear?"
"No, thank you. I don't think I'll be here long, Katie and I are going to have a late dinner later."
"You should have brought her along!"
"I don't think that would have been appropriate."
"Why's that?" just then toilet flushed. The sink wasn't used, but the door opened. Out walked a six foot black man with a husky build. The famous Jef with one f. He was wearing a red t-shirt with the sleeves cut off, gray sweatpants, and brand new sneakers. Jef with one f breathed through his mouth, never through his nostrils, and Craig could hear it getting louder as Jef walked closer. This was the bloke that was shagging his mum, this was the man his mother was going to marry.
"Sweetheart, this is my son, Craig. Craig, Jef."
"S'up?" Jef said as he reached his hand out. Craig remembered he didn't wash, but didn't want to seem rude. He reluctantly reached out and shook Jef with one f's hand.
"Hi, nice to finally meet you." said Craig, in full composure. Jef shook his hand hard.
"Baby, did you offer him some tea yet?" Jef said to Emmaline.
"I did, he didn't want any." replied Emmaline.

want no tea? Whatchu want then? We got everythang, you know wha'm sayin'?"
"Oh, it's alright, I'm good." Craig assured him.
"Nah y'ain't. You want a beer? Whatchu drink?"
"I'm only 18…" Craig said informatively.
"Oh-Whaaaat?! You 18? You's a big fella fo an 18 year old, shit," he looked at Emmaline, "girl, whatchu been feedin' him?" Emmaline smiled. "Okay, first order of bi'ness, you gonna have yo first beer wit me, you know wha'm sayin'? No buts. Baby, two beers." Jef put his arm around Craig and walked to the couch with him. Emmaline went to refrigerator.
"I really don't think I should drink. I have to drive later." Craig reiterated.
"Boy, listen, just one beer is all I'm askin', and if you don't like it, you don't have to have anymore. But you gots to have that one beer, know wha'm sayin'?" Emmaline came back with two beers and handed them to Jef with one f and one to Craig. Craig looked at the can, then his mother, wondering why she allowed it. "Now, the thing is, if you gon' drink just that one, you have to drink it fast, I mean chug that mu'fucka down, know wha'm sayin'? Like a race, you know what a shotgun is?"
"Uh… Besides the gun, I don't think so." Craig said almost nervously now.
"There it is. We gon' do some shotguns. Gimme that." He grabbed Craig's beer and made a small incision to the side corner of the can with a key on the coffee table, then widened the hole to the size of a quarter. He handed it back to Craig and did the same to his can. "Okay, now, this is how you do a shotgun, son. You put yo' mouf over the hole, then you turn the can upright while turnin' yo' head at he same time while poppin' the top open, you know wha'm sayin'? The beer will shotgun in yo mouf and you swallow that sucka down. Got it?"
"Umm… I think so, but…" Craig said nervously.
"It's quite simple, once you do it Craig." said Emmaline from the kitchen.
"You've done this? But you don't drink, mom." Craig said with the can by his face, Jef with one f, doing the same.
"You kiddin' boy, yo' mom is the best at doin' shotguns." said Jef. Craig was flabbergasted but distracted by the cans to question. "A'ight, 1,2, and 3, go!" Jef with one f and Craig popped the top and tilted their heads. Craig didn't like the taste of beer. What was worse was the coldness of the beer masking the taste and gliding icily and sharp down his throat. Craig finished first with three and a half gulps.
Craig belched. "Oh my god." Craig belched again. Jef with one f did one long belch.
"Damn boy, you almost as fast as yo' mama. It's gotta be in the family, know wha'm sayin'? You play sports, Craig?"
"Yeah, Baseball and Football." Craig said after a moment. He belched once more, his stomach finally settling.
"Damn, you prob'ly on the varsity team, right?"
"Whas the matter? You okay? You a big guy, one beer ain't gon' kill ya." Just then, Craig felt the effects of a shotgun, he got a head-change, and grinned. A slight sense of euphoria came over him.
"…Can I have another one?" asked Craig.
"Ha-HA! Yo' Baby, get me and your boy two mo' cold ones!"
Craig and Jef with one f drank and talked with each other the rest of the night. Craig drank 3 beers and Jef was | -1.363766 | -1.706758 | -2.004524 | -1.69961 | [

on his 6th, however, Jef with one f wasn't tipsy at all while Craig's eyes started to blink separately. They kept talking.
"Wait, hold up. If you lookin' for speakers, I got 'em! Yeah, my son is tryin' to sell his, and come to think of it, he's gon' yo' brother too! Let's go get you some speakers and meet yo' brotha!"
"Really? Now?"
"Yeah, it's only what, 10 o'clock? He'll be home. You got a car right?"
"Uh, sure I do. I just don't think I should drive right now."
"It's a'ight, I'll drive, I'm a great driver. Baby! Ain't I a great driver?" Jef yelled towards the kitchen.
"He's a great driver, Craig."
"See?" said Jef.
"Well… if my mama says so, I guess it's true." Craig gave Jef his keys and they both got up and walked out the door.
"Baby, we'll be right back." Jef said to Emmaline.
"Alright, you two be safe." My mother said while going back to the newspaper.
Jef with one f was now driving his car north, further into Alta Dena. Craig was starting to sober up, becoming more aware of the situation. He was going to buy speakers from his brother-in-law-to-be, in Alta Dena, and was being driven there by a husky black man, who was his father-in-law-to-be.
When they arrived, they both got out of the car and started walking toward an apartment complex. Just before they entered the gate, Jef with one f stopped and turned to Craig.
"A'ight, we gon' have to be quiet. Kids be sleeping, know wha'm sayin'? So just follow me." Craig nodded his head in compliance, but was slightly confused because they were just standing at the front gate, the complex itself was 30 feet beyond that. Jef then wiggled the handle a certain way and propped the door open. He walked in and Craig followed. They turned a corner and went up a flight of stairs. Then Jef with one f stopped at a window and wiggled the screen off. Then started on the glass window itself.
"Whoa, what are you doing, Jef?"
"Oh, I always forget my key, so I have to get in this way. It's a'ight, I do it all the time." Craig didn't understand why he couldn't just remember the spare instead, because Jef wasn't exactly a small guy. Jef was still breathing heavily with his mouth.
Jef finally wiggled the locking mechanism on the window loose, and slid it open. He climbed in and waved Craig to follow. Against all better judgement, he followed. The room they climbed into was tiny and had scraps of paper and candy wrappers everywhere. There was a mattress without covers in the corner on the floor. A moment later, the door opened and in walked a young black boy in his teens.
"What the fuck are you doing here dad!? You're not supposed to be here!" Yelled the boy.
"It's coo, look, aye, I got someone to buy those speakers from you. And he's gon' be yo' new brotha!"
"Hi…" said Craig nervously.
"S'up." said the boy.
"You still got the speakers, Junior? I told him you was sellin' 'em for a hundred."
"I'm not, they're 250, and they're my speakers."
"Nah, I told Craig a hundred."
"They're my speakers."
"Well, where they at? Can we, at least, see 'em?"
"They in Shawna's room."
"Oh shit, Craig, you gon' meet yo' new lil' sista too!" He then walked over to another door while Craig followed. Jef pounded on the door. "Shawna, open the door, you gon' meet yo' new brotha!" a tiny voice came from the other side.
"I don't have any clothes on yet." It sounded like an 8 year old girl. Jef with one f suddenly kicked the door open. " | -0.792612 | -1.201801 | -1.423724 | -1.353628 | [

Daddy, stop! I don't have any clothes on!" Shawna screamed.
"You do what I tell you! Now come out and meet yo' brotha!" Jef had Shawna lifted in mid-air, dangling by one arm. Craig froze in place, terrified and thinking, 'Holy shit! What is happening!?' Just then Junior ran into the room.
"Let my sister go!" He shouted then started flailing his fists at Jef with one f. "Let her GO!" Jef, then, dropped Shawna, grabbed Junior by the side of his head, and slammed it into the wall, making a crater twice its size. Shawna started crying, and Junior fell to the ground, unconscious. Craig's mouth dropped, his eyes widened, now thinking, 'Holy FUUUCK!'
"Aye, we gotta bounce, Craig. NOW!" Jef started running out the front door. Craig wasn't sure what to do, he looked at Shawna crying, the hole in the wall, Junior's lifeless body. He couldn't say a word, and ran outside following Jef. They jumped into the car and sped off into the night.
"What the FUCK was that!?" Craig shouted.
"It's a'ight, I'm gon' call the cops later."
"What?! On yourself?! Is Junior even alive?! Are you listening!?" Jef didn't answer.
"Listen to me," said Jef in a calm tone, "something's wrong. Fuck. FUCK! Somethings wrong." Craig just looked at him, infuriated, and at a loss for words. Jef sped around the corner Emmaline's street was on and came to a screeching halt. "I'm sorry about yo' speakers, we'll get 'em next time, a'ight?" He then popped out of the car, ran into the apartment and shut off the lights, leaving Craig's car door open and running.
"I can't fucking believe this is happening. This is the guy my mom is going to marry." Craig said under his breath as he switched into the driver seat. He started driving, when suddenly, he heard police sirens in the distance. He then sped off to my grandparents house in Pasadena, where I was staying. He left his car in a store parking lot, and ran the rest of the way, and eventually through my window. Craig did not attend his mother's wedding to Jef with one f.
Graduation finally came along, which meant Craig and I were about to be married soon. He was finalizing his paperwork with the U.S. Army and had just finished the paperwork for my ownership of the grocery store. I was working out a deal with Edward to by a Mustang GT from him. It was a fucking amazing car, and I'd worked on it with Craig a few times. Growing up with two boys, I held my own in terms of mechanics. Edward kept raising the price, then lowering it slightly, so it was sure to be a long negotiation.
By that time, daddy had also remarried to a sweet woman named Jenifer. She was quiet, but not in a shy way, she understood daddy's sense of humor, and basically dotted his i's and crossed his t's. She was simple. As long as daddy was happy with her, I would be too.
Craig stressed often over the wedding. He tried to get his mother, Emmaline to go to our wedding, but she kept saying how she'd have to ask Jef with one f. Then remind Craig of his absence to her wedding. In which, Craig's retort would be because he did not condone her marriage to Jef with one f and declined to further state what had happened that one evening he went over. After a conversation with her, he often started drinking alcohol. I started drinking with him soon after. There was plenty in the house, and when Edward was out and about, Gabriella would join us, teaching us a bit of Spanish. Donnie never noticed, Diane, was never home, and Vinnie had moved back in. Vinnie couldn't stand Jef with one f just as much as Craig couldn't, but he didn't drink. Vincent took to marijuana instead, and was stoned much of the time.
At our wedding, Emmaline surprised | -0.461835 | -1.278798 | -1.641841 | -1.178035 | [

us all by attending. Then surprised us all again when she left after only half an hour. During the father and bride, mother and groom dance, daddy and I were the only ones on the floor, while Craig sat and watched. The guests didn't say anything, but everyone knew. Then Jenifer grabbed Craig and forced him to dance with her. My brother Jack came up to me later in the day and said to me, 'good job, Katie,' and walked back to the table where daddy was. Daddy gave him a pat on the back, and Jenifer smiled. My husband, Craig, shipped out two days later for basic training.
The Meyer's kids switched off manning a camcorder that day. Watching the tape, I discovered my father-in-law, Edward had already sold the Mustang, for much cheaper than what I had offered. I can hear Vincent arguing with Edward about it. Then towards the end of the tape, Craig and I were holding each other on the front porch while the kids filmed from the inside, through the window blinds. We were both crying because he and I knew we were going to miss the fuck out of each other.
"Craig and Katie are shiny, a majestic translucence." said Donnie.
"Yeah, they deserve each other." agreed Vincent.
"Oh my god, look how in love they are." said Diane.
"Oh yeah? Just wait twenty-five years when she divorces your brother and runs off with a black guy, we'll see how in love they are." slurred Edward.
"Dad, shut up." said Diane and Vincent.
A few years later, I was living on the base with Craig. We threw parties, I got myself a military I.D., and the drinking continued. Most nights filled with belligerence accompanied by hoots and hollers. I often made out with other girls, at the encouragement of Craig. He in turn, slept with some of them, without my encouragement, or knowledge for that matter. We had become alcoholics by then. Hangovers 5 days out of the week. I'd often hide whiskey inside coffee cups and watch movies at the local theater alone, and when I'd wake up, I wouldn't be able to remember what movie I had seen the night before, let alone, how I even got home. Our lives adopted a one-day-at-a-time basis with a complete bleakness and nonchalance towards the future. It went on like this until one day Craig disappeared.
He had gone to his father Edward. Craig had noticed the downward spiral and sought advice from his father, who in turn, convinced Craig to divorce me. I then went into a state of bottomless depression, broken and nurtured only through the teet of a bottle. Tons o' fucking fun, when I moved back home with daddy as a complete mess. I stayed that way for months until one day, I got a call from Vincent. He told me my ex-husband, Craig, remarried. She was legally a midget and former stripper, who later became a typical bible mother. After that, I decided I had two choices. One was to either, remain in the grave, drinking a haze around me to keep me from seeing the reality of the world I inhabited, never to confront it. I chose the second. I checked myself into a rehabilitation center.
I don't regret that period of my life, neither Craig nor I were the same people we once were. Those two had died long ago, and we became something like ghosts, floating through a fog we called life without our bodies. I was fortunate enough to find mine, and I don't regret having to go through the grueling and tedious process to earn it, not one bit. The way I see it, Craig and I had good seats to the show. The solace was in knowing it wasn't going to be the last show.

coffee and oatmeal (post was a personal test to see if I could write the same way after a month of sobriety. I didn't pass)
I spent the workday pretending to be frustrated and clicking furiously on the work laptop and teasing my hair when no one was looking, just so I could look more unstable when someone walked by. The surprising bit, was that it actually worked. Our servers containing all our work had a technical malfunction the day before, but I had refused to tell anyone else in the office that I had backed up all our clientele files.

I've been suppressing this spontaneous craving my palette has annoyed me with for quite some time now, and I believed it was time to submit. I'm not usually a fan of sweets, you can ask anyone I know, but I'm not a monster. I like sweets every now and then, but if you saw my father in his adolescence, you'd understand. Either way, I'm allergic to chocolate, so I can't exactly have the popular Cookie's and Cream or chocolate chip cookies, so my palette isn't that weird. But this girl that's had a crush on me forever was there today. (I can tell by the way she swings her hair to the side when she talks to me about living free and partying with her friends, and tells me I should | -0.574833 | -1.488301 | -1.870103 | -1.689205 | [

When I was in college, I loved my philosophy classes probably the most. If you don't know much about John Stuart Mill, he was a British philosopher who wrote extensively about liberty--mostly political stuff I wasn't all the interested in. No, I don't agree with a whole lot of what he said, but one John Stuart Mill quote has remained in my mind since I was in my 20s. It is shortened here (because Mr. Mill liked to write REALLY long sentences). He said: "... happiness… was not a life of rapture, but of such, in an existence made up of few and transitory pains, many and various pleasures ... and having as the foundation of the whole, not to expect more from life than it is capable of bestowing." Sounds a little bleak, I know.
To me, he is saying there are limits to what you can expect because, well, you are human and circumstances are not completely in your control. Simplified and taken out of context, but that's how I chose to interpret it. I faced my humanity this past week after the disappointment of missing the NY Times bestseller list for the first time in five years. See, you will always hear the truth from me. I tell the truth in my books and share who I am with the world. Sometimes disappointment is just around the corner and will smack you hard. It's one of those "transitory pains" that Mr. Mill spoke about. It will tarnish happiness. But it is to be expected.
Were there 18 other mass market paperback cozies released from my publisher alone this month? Yes. Did Amazon choose to discount 14 out 18--deep discounts, mind you--in its price war with other folks who sell books? They did. Was my book one of those discounted? No. But my good friend had the same circumstances and she made the list. I am very thrilled for her, but the other consequence of this perfect negative storm for me was that it sent me into a downward spiral and I could not write one word on next year's book for days. I am an emotional person and I took this very hard. Harder than I should have. My editor always says she cares nothing about lists, she cares about long term sales. Still, it made my heart hurt and sent me hunting for all those wise words from people far smarter than me who all seemed to have lived a long time ago. Smart people often help me right my crazy ship.
It is okay to be disappointed, but I did nothing wrong. Books are like babies, after all. They take a long time to grow big enough to be born, they require much care and feeding and love. Does this mean I love my baby--I mean my book--any less because it didn't do what I expected? Of course not. This was a lesson I needed to re-learn. It's called humility--or as the wise man said, "...not to expect more from life than it is capable of bestowing."
If I depended on the NYT's bestseller list, to determine what I read, I'd never read. I love your series and loved The Cat, the Sneak and the Secret! You are a bestseller on MY list!
I have a couple of thoughts. First, I purchased your book full price from Barnes and Noble. I'm not in favor of Amazon's deep discounts because I think they devalue the hard work that goes into writing a book. In addition, I honestly don't value a book I bought for .99 or 1.99 as much as I do one that I paid the full price for. There is no logic to that because the .99 one often is superior to the 21.99 book. However, I don't believe I'm alone in this inconsistency. Second, if an author has to practically give away her/his work in order to get on the NYT list, then it may not be worth it. I have never purchased a book just because it was on the NYT. So, just keep on writing and your loyal fans will keep on reading. Finally, don't compare yourself to other situation, no matter how hard that is to not do. The friend you mention publishes more than one book a year so her name is out there perhaps a bit more than yours is. That doesn't mean that your work is not as good. I'm a novice writer and I understand how hard we judge ourselves and how hard it is to write. Just being published is in itself a huge accomplishment.

Gia [Giorgi or George] Maisashvili () (November 24, 1962 – February 26, 2018) was a Georgian economist and politician who was a presidential candidate in the Georgian presidential election of 2008.
Born in Tbilisi, Maisashvili graduated from the Tbilisi State University in 1985. He became involved in pro-independence movement against the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and placed himself at the forefront in the struggle for Georgian independence and democracy, which was achieved in 1991.
In 1991–92, he became an instrumental figure in transitioning Georgia into the free-market economic system by founding the country's first ever commodity exchanges – Tbilisi Universal Exchange and Georgian Tea and Wine Exchange.
Following the Georgian Civil War and the consequent overthrow of the country's first democratically elected government by the forces of Eduard Shevardnadze in 1992, Maisashvili was forced to flee the country and seek refuge abroad. He was granted political asylum by the United States.
While living in the US, he earned an MPA from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in 1997 and that same year, became married to an American lawyer, Robin Lightner. Soon after, he joined the Houston, Texas-based energy company Enron and served as the head of a risk analysis division until resigning from the company in 2001, shortly before the scandal.
He returned to Georgia on the eve of the 2003 Rose Revolution and became a political mentor and an economic adviser to then opposition leader Mikheil Saakashvili. Shortly after Saakashvili's ascend to power, Maisashvili became publicly critical of Saakashvili and distanced himself from the new president. In July 2007, he established his own political party – the Party of Future (momavlis partia).
He ran as a Presidential candidate for the early elections called on January 5, 2008. He made a major focus on economy and social solidarity, and supported Georgia's bid to join NATO. On November 30, 2007, in what is now considered the critical blunder of his campaign, he stated that he would rather support Mikheil Saakashvili in the case of a second-round run-off against the oligarch Badri Patarkatsishvili. Such a statement was immediately exploited by his opponents and sensationalized by the media, resulting in significant drop in his poll numbers from which he never recovered.
In May 2008, he ran in the Georgian Parliamentary elections representing Tbilisi's Saburtalo constituency on the Christian-Democratic Alliance ticket—The Alliance.
On May 6, 2009, while attempting to arbitrate a peaceful outcome in a clash between a disorderly political demonstrators and the riot police, Maisashvili was shot in the head with a rubber bullet. He eventually made a full recovery from his injuries.
Following the incident, he shifted away from direct involvement in Georgian politics and instead focused on bringing about an ambitious bottom-up educational reform in Georgia through the expansion of his Leadership School, a venture he originally started in 2006 with his American friend and mentor Bob Spears. The declared aim was to rear "a new generation of skilled, wise and courageous leaders of Georgia."
In March 2015, Maisashvili was diagnosed with Glioblastoma - an aggressive form of brain cancer.
After undergoing a successful surgery and a chemotherapy treatment, he seemed to have made a recovery - but it was ultimately short lived.
The cancer came back and Gia Maisashvili died on 26 February 2018. His body was flown from California to Georgia and his funeral held at the Sioni Cathedral in Tbilisi. Thousands of Georgians attended and paid their respects to the "Leader".
He leaves behind his three children - Sophia, William and Anna.

How Justin Trudeau makes town halls work
The PM is at home on the stage, managing the energy level in the room even when questions turn hostile, or his answers start to bore
By John Geddes January 12, 2018
Watching Prime Minister Justin Trudeau managing an hour-and-a-half town hall meeting can be like peering inside a mechanism designed to regulate the level of energy in a system. In a gym at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., Trudeau works from centre court, turning, pacing, pausing, as he scans the crowd encircling him in chairs set out on the hardwood and up in the bleachers, picking the lucky few—"Yes, you in the bluish shirt…"—from the many hands raised.
If the question is easy, and the energy level in the room begins to drop, Trudeau might inject a little something extra into his response. For instance, when he's asked about how women are underrepresented in many industries, his answer drifts for a while into platitudes about the value of diversity. Then, evidently sensing he's losing the crowd, he suddenly volunteers the information that his government is "taking a look at mandatory paternity leave"—a policy idea from Europe aimed at pushing dads to help out more with newborns. And he's got their attention again.
Trudeau goes the opposite way if a topic threatens to be a little too energizing. The takeover of a local construction company by a state-owned Chinese firm is a sensitive issue just now in Hamilton. When he's asked about it, Trudeau takes the most leisurely possible route toward blandly describing the federal foreign-investment review process. "We, as a country, have an awful lot to offer the world," his answer begins. This is how taut questions become springboards for relaxed replies—the questioner's energy dissipating through the swan-dive arc of Trudeau's answer.

The Prime Minister is on a national town-hall tour this month. He started 2017 the same way. Admission is open and the questions aren't vetted. Obviously, Trudeau and his advisors believe these unscripted exchanges play to his strengths. That doesn't mean, of course, that the back-and-forth is always galvanizing. But Trudeau's easy physicality remains watchable even when the verbiage drags.
Other politicians haven't been so good at it. When Stephen Harper attempted campaign events with a handheld microphone and no podium, he moved with the deliberation of a someone instructed to move. Michael Ignatieff, in his ill-fated 2011 run as Liberal leader, was far better at question-and-answer sessions, staged in-the-round. He would sometimes freeze and bow his head, listening intently to a question, a portrait of intellect in action. It worked in the room, but didn't translate for TV clips.
Trudeau's athleticism serves particularly well when he's surrounded. His unhurried turning, usually clockwise, keeps all parts of the McMaster gym engaged, exerting a centripetal tug on the crowd. By now, his familiar look—no jacket, top collar unbuttoned, necktie neat all the same—is a trademark. If he varied it, that would be news. Still, there's built-in suspense in these events: outbursts of protest are pretty much guaranteed. In fact, they are essential. How can Trudeau prove his unflappability unless there's a flap?
In both Hamilton, this past Wednesday, and in London, Ont., the following evening, he stoically waited out protestors who stood in their places and hollered at him. Remarkably, two of these clashes featured Trudeau finally asking, "Are you done?" and, remarkably, the lone protestor in each case answering, "I'm done." When his fans boo or try to drown out the protestors, Trudeau admonishes them to stay polite.
His control of the atmosphere is what sticks, not the subjects raised. Consider it again in terms of energy levels. The protestor boils, Trudeau goes icy. This is even more evident when he's faced, not with an irate loner, but a | 1.581036 | -0.248487 | 0.317405 | -0.345597 | [

FIRST PERSON - Alex Magno (The Philippine Star) - November 24, 2020 - 12:00am
While we were busy coping with the floods, a truly historic event happened: 15 countries signed up for the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The world's largest trading bloc was born. It will reshape the way our economies grow post-pandemic.
The 15 countries encompass roughly a third of the world's population and a third of the global economy. These countries include the ASEAN 10, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
The members of this trading bloc will now move to harmonize tariff policies and rules of origin. That will clear away much of the paperwork that impeded trading in the region.
The impact of this new trading bloc might have been greater had India not dropped out of the negotiations last year. The agreement signed last week, however, leaves a door for the world's second most populous country to join at a later date.
It took all of 8 years and 31 rounds of negotiations before the 15 nations arrived at an agreement. All the work was worth it. The signing was timely, as the member-nations all struggle to climb out of the cratered global economy.
A study done two years ago by a major multilateral institution estimated that with the removal of barriers to trade and investment, the regional GDP could be boosted by 15 percent. This is exactly what our recession-hit economies need at this time.
More than merely enhancing trade of finished goods, RCEP will reshape the supply chains and bring about more integrated production across this vast region. It has been said that this is to be the Asian Century. RCEP is the instrument to make that a reality.
With the free trade framework, we could foresee large movements of investments to build more robust supply chains. The free trade area also becomes a large market that will support the region's industries. We could likewise see more mergers among regional corporations to achieve more effective economies of scale.
After the US abandoned its Trans-Pacific Partnership project, the field was left open for RCEP to fill the void – except that this new trading bloc excludes the US. In a spectacular case of economic pragmatism overcoming political hang ups, the new bloc brings together rival nations and eases over many areas of tension.
Analysts concede that China emerges the biggest winner with the formation of RCEP. If the US and the EU continue with their effort to curtail China's economic clout, the new trading bloc amplifies her economic power.
The old powers will now find it doubly more difficult to isolate the Asian superpower. China will thrive within the framework of this large trading bloc. It is the bloc's preeminent member.
Over the next few years, RCEP will likely progress into unifying product and services standards as well as harmonizing technological protocols (such as in 5G and 6G). That will provide this bloc great leverage over the other competing economic regions.
While leaders of the G-20 – the 20 wealthiest nations of the world – were conducting an on-line summit, Donald Trump stepped out of the White House to play golf. We are all used to this man's rudeness and petulance. But he always manages to outdo himself.
Since elections were held earlier this month, Trump has spewed all sorts of conspiracy theories about his vote being stolen. All the while he was bunkered in the White House, refusing to address his people's anxieties about spiking coronavirus infections threatening to decimate the population.
The Trump campaign filed 30 cases seeking to invalidate the results or cancel the votes of millions of Americans. He has lost all those cases – often with otherwise conservative judges mocking the fact that they were even filed without the benefit of any evidence.
By consensus, Trump's legal strategy to block the certification of his successor has all but evaporated. His Plan B is to force Republicans in state electoral boards to refuse certification. This is a blatant political attempt to overpower the will of the electorate. It should soon fail.
There is no conceivable Plan C for Trump. At some point, the egocentric president will have to embrace the fact that | 1.035905 | 0.957697 | 0.562152 | 0.194187 | [

he lost an election. He is a loser. The voters want him out. On Jan. 20, he either walks out of office by his own will or be carried out by sheriffs.
In the meantime, in his absurd state of denial, Trump is pushing divisions deeper, undermining both the legitimacy of the vote and the legitimacy of his successor. He fired his own election security official for declaring the last exercise to be the best it has ever been. He is not cooperating in ensuring a transition process works smoothly. He is pursuing a scorched earth strategy that will bring lasting damage to American institutions.
President-elect Joe Biden, in his usual restrained manner, described Trump's efforts to undermine the election results "irresponsible." Trump's close ally Chris Christie was more direct, describing the futile legal effort a "national embarrassment."
But Donald Trump was a national embarrassment from the start. Uncouth, unlettered, uninformed and unbridled, he wreaked havoc on America's international partnerships, domestic policies and his own people's sense of history. He chose myth over science, falsehood over truth. His incompetence caused the pandemic to run rampant, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans.
In less than two months, he leaves an office he desecrated. The world will be relieved that an adult will again occupy the Oval Office and bring a lot more sanity to the way this superpower is governed.

Craft beer is now a $10 billion category.
As part of its annual report on the state of the U.S. craft beer industry, the Brewers Association (BA) — a trade group representing small and independent brewers — indicated that U.S. craft beer volumes reached an all-time high last year.
With 2012 production swelling past 13.2 million barrels — a 15 percent increase from 2011 — craft sales grew by 17 percent, taking total retail revenues for the category up to an estimated $10.2 billion.
"Beer is a $99 billion industry to which craft brewers are making a significant contribution, with retail sales share hitting double-digits for the first time in 2012," BA director Paul Gatza said in a press release.
Craft beer sales have been steadily increasing since 2005, when 1,394 breweries made just 6.3 million barrels. Fast forward eight years, and nearly 1,000 new breweries have opened their doors, helping to more than double the industry's total production of craft beer. In the last two years alone, 684 new breweries have launched, while only 80 have shut their doors, according to the BA.
"On average, we are seeing slightly more than one craft brewery per day opening somewhere in the U.S. and we anticipate even more in the coming year," Gatza said.
But the BA definition of "craft " only includes those brewers who produce less than 6 million barrels annually and are less than 25 percent owned by another non-craft brewer. That means production from Craft Brew Alliance (which markets the Kona, Redhook and Widmer Brothers brands), Goose Island, Magic Hat and Pyramid goes unaccounted for. The BA definition also excludes production from the independently-owned D.G. Yuengling & Son, which produced over 2.5 million barrels in 2012, and so-called "crafty" brews like Shock Top (owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev) and Blue Moon (owned by MillerCoors). Collectively, more than 6 million barrels of what many believe is better quality beer than most domestic premium offerings is left unaccounted for.
Nonetheless, the new BA figures confirm craft's upward surge across multiple retail channels, which Symphony IRI's senior vice president of beverage alcohol services, Dan Wandel, reported during last month's "Power Hour" seminar. The research company said craft dollar sales increased 18.5 percent in food, drug, club, dollar, military, multi-outlet and convenience channels.
Included below is the complete BA press release which further details the growth of craft beer in 2012.
Boulder, CO — The Brewers Association (BA), the trade association representing small and independent American brewers, today released 2012 data on U.S. craft brewing1 growth. In a year when the total U.S. beer market grew by one percent, craft brewers saw a 15 percent rise in volume2 and a 17 percent increase in dollar growth, representing a total barrel increase of almost 1.8 million.
Note: Numbers are preliminary. A more extensive analysis will be released during the Craft Brewers Conference in Washington, D.C. from March 26-29. The full 2012 industry analysis will be published in the May/June 2013 issue of The New Brewer, highlighting regional trends and sales by individual breweries.
The Brewers Association is the not-for-profit trade association dedicated to small and independent American brewers, their craft beers and the community of brewing enthusiasts. The Brewers Association (BA) represents more than 70 percent of the brewing industry, and its members make more than 99 percent of the beer brewed in the U.S. The BA organizes events including the World Beer Cup®, Great American Beer Festival®, Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America®, SAVOR?: An American Craft Beer & Food Experience and American Craft Beer Week®. The BA publishes The New Brewer magazine and its Brewers Publications division is the largest publisher of contemporary and relevant brewing literature for today's | 0.333262 | 1.767062 | 0.144941 | -0.171305 | [

Anti-neoplastic activity and pain associated with osteoarthritis.
Piroxicam is an NSAID that is used to treat some cancers in dogs and cats and, to a lesser degree, for pain due to osteoarthritis. Piroxicam is a nonselective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor with inhibitory effects on both COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 produces prostaglandins that regulate homeostasis, allowing the kidney to respond to hypotension and protect the GI tract. COX-2 produces the prostaglandins that are increased in the presence of inflammation. COX-2 is upregulated in many types of tumors, including nasal epithelial tumors, mammary tumors, colorectal tumorsoral squamous cell carcinomaoral melanoma, prostatic carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder, and osteosarcoma.
There also is some research that COX-1 over expression plays a role in as many as 39% of canine TCC incidences. Although the mechanism of action is not understood completely, COX-2 inhibitors may affect tumor cell apoptosis and disrupt tumor angiogenesis.
Like other NSAIDs, piroxicam has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activity. It is used less commonly as a classic NSAID for pain relief because there are other drugs with fewer side-effects.
Piroxicam is used within a variety of protocols to treat TCC, squamous cell carcinoma (oral and cutaneous), hemangiosarcoma, prostatic carcinoma, and some rectal neoplasms. Many protocols combine piroxicam with a chemotherapeutic drug such as cisplatin or mitoxantrone. In one study of dogs with TCC of the bladder, 35.4% had a measurable response to combined chemotherapy and piroxicam, while 75% showed subjective improvement. Mean survival time (MST) for dogs with TCC treated with the combination of piroxicam and mitoxantrone was just under a year. Radiation therapy may be added to piroxicam and mitoxantrone protocols for TCC.
Piroxicam is thought to have a positive effect on survival time for prostatic carcinoma (MST = 6.9 months). Treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma with cisplatin and piroxicam resulted in a 56% response rate and a MST of almost eight months. There are additional concerns regarding renal toxicity with the drug combination of cisplatin and piroxicam (as high as 86% in one study). The use of piroxicam suppositories for palliative treatment of rectal cancer in dogs is well-accepted for the improvement of quality of life. Piroxicam does not appear to confer additional benefits when combined with doxorubicin to treat lymphoma.
Piroxicam is used in cats as an adjunctive therapy to treat TCC of the bladder and oral squamous cell carcinoma. The half-life of piroxicam in the cat is 12 to 13 hours, which is shorter than the 37 to 40 hour half-life in dogs.
Piroxicam is well-absorbed orally and the absorption is not affected by the presence of antacids. It should be given with food to decrease the likelihood of GI ulceration. Piroxicam is excreted primarily in the urine and only about 1% of the plasma level is found in milk. Piroxicam may be combined with opioid analgesic drugs to manage pain in cancer patients. NSAIDs provide synergistic pain relief with opioid analgesics allowing for a lower dose which may minimize the sedating side effects.
Side effects may include gastrointestinal irritation and ulceration, and nephrotoxicity.
Piroxicam has a narrow margin of safety due to GI and renal side-effects. Piroxicam should not be used in dehydrated animals and fluid supplementation may be warranted.
Based on studies in humans, it should be used with additional caution in dogs with decreased card | -0.330689 | 0.99351 | 0.552007 | 1.003214 | [

11 Buildings From Japan That Defies The Laws of Physics
April 12, 2021 chris architect, buildings, Japan
Japan has some of the most amazing modern architect buildings in the world and here are some of the bizarre creations that look like they are defying the laws of physics.
1. Roofless School Built Around a Tree – Tachikawa
Imagine if your classroom had been open and wrapped around a giant Zeikova tree. Well the lucky kids at this kindergarten have just that at the Fuji school in Tachikawa.
The inspiration came from the deputy director's request to the architecture office Tezuka, saying he wanted "an unfurnished classroom". What resulted was a beautiful gesture that gives children the freedom to learn while playing outdoors.
2. Ebisu East Gallery – Tokyo
The Gallery has a Live Music area, plus Dance Club and party area, restaurants and an actors school. On the roof there is a swimming pool and beer garden.
3. School Turns Rainwater Into Playground
A children's school in Japan has created a completely different playground than the norm. When it rains the water is collected and used to create a water feature for the kids to play in. When it is not raining the space can be used for other activities, such as games and sports.
The versatility of the place follows the methodology of the school, which encourages the rearrangement and the mixing of classes. The building was designed by the architecture office Youji Sem Shiro, which has been operating in this market for 43 years.
4. Retirement Home- Shizuoka
The renowned Japanese architect Issei Suma has created a complex that is truly spectacular and unlike anything that has already been seen, especially in the case of a retirement home for the elderly.
The complex named "Jikka", reminiscent of the tent format, is situated in the forests and mountains of Shizuoka, Japan.
5. Unusual Format House – Tokyo.
A very quirky house in one street in Tokyo that seems to defy the laws of physics.
6. Namba Parks – Osaka
Namba Parks has a total area of 32,000 square meters and was built on the city's former baseball stadium. The project was selected as one of the winners of the Asian Urban Land Institute's (ULI) 2009 Award of Excellence.
The Business and Commercial Complex was designed by Jon Jerde Associates who also participated in the City Hakata (Fukuoka), Riverwalk Kitakyushu and Roppongi Hills (Tokyo).
7. Ribbon Chapel – Hiroshima
Two spirals cleverly become one in this building. This wedding chapel is in the resort's garden, "Bella Vista Sakaigahama" in Onomichi, Hiroshima. The site is halfway up a hill with a panoramic view of the bay of Japan.
This is a free building of unprecedented composition, which architecturally embodies the act of marriage in a pure form. A single spiral staircase would be unstable in a horizontal direction and would be subject to vibration in the vertical direction.
8. Nakagin Capsule Tower – Tokyo
The Architect Kisho Kurokawa was very innovative in the creation of the Nakagin Capsule Tower in 1972, being the first architecture design in capsules. The module was created with the intention of housing the business men who worked during the week in the center of Tokyo.
It is a prototype of sustainable and recyclable architecture, since each module is connected to a central core and can be replaced or exchanged when necessary.
9. Nasu Tepee House – Nasu
Designed by Japanese architect Hiroshi Nakamura and his studio NAP, Nasu Tepee is a 156-square-metre house set in a picturesque woodland district in Tochigi Prefecture.
10. Dear Ginza Building – Tokyo
The office Design Amano based in Tokyo was responsible to design a striking building that managed to attract the buyers of the central street of Ginza.
The nine-storey tower accommodates small units that can be used either as offices or shops.
In addition to the glazed lower floor, it is worth mentioning that on each floor a perforated metal exterior and a transparent glass interior are concealed behind a | 1.175612 | 1.79213 | 0.721936 | -0.256175 | [

5 Facts About The Late Rock Star And The Cars Frontman Ric Ocasek
<a href="">Getty Images</a>
By: Mandy Gambrell
Musician Ric Ocasek of The Cars was a big deal in the music world. In addition to being a lead singer, a rhythm guitarist and a successful songwriter and music producer, he was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Sadly, Ocasek, 75, was found dead in a Manhattan apartment on Sept. 15. The cause of death has not been revealed, but foul play is not suspected.
As you may already know, Ocasek and The Cars had numerous song hits in the '70s and '80s, including "Drive," "Just What I Needed" and "Shake It Up." The band's first big chart-topper was "Let's Go" in 1979.
Here are some facts you may not have known about him:
1. Ric Ocasek Was The Principal Songwriter For The Cars
Ocasek split the songwriting duties with bassist Benjamin Orr, who could sometimes be heard singing lead vocals, although Ocasek was the main vocalist for the group. Ocasek wrote the majority of the songs for the band, and Rolling Stone says Ocasek had a love of 1950s rock and roll that came out in his lyrics. He often wrote about things he believed happened to the average person, even if they didn't happen to him. That's what helped fans identify with his songs and spurred them to top the charts.
2. He Played All Of The Instruments On His 1982 Solo Album
Ocasek's first solo album in the early 1980s was more experimental than what The Cars had been producing. On the album, which was called "Beatitude" (pronounced Beat-itude as a nod to the word "beat"), the musician played all of the instruments himself, according to an article published in the Sun Sentinel in 1986. The album made the Top 30 but fewer than 500,000 copies were sold.
3. Ocasek Has More Than 100 Soundtrack Credits
The songwriter's tunes got used everywhere on-screen. It's possible you've seen at least one show or video that features a song written by Ocasek, especially songs performed by The Cars. A look at his IMDb page shows 100 credits for TV series, video shorts and more. You might have heard "My Best Friend's Girl" in the movie of the same name, "Drive" in the movie "Transformers" or "Bye Bye Love" in the movie "Super 8," for example.
4. He Got His First Guitar When He Was 10
Ocasek, who was born Richard Otcasek, received a guitar from his grandmother when he was 10. At the time, he loved the song "That'll Be The Day" by the Crickets, so he took guitar lessons and learned to play it. When he accepted his place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he gave a speech in which he thanked his grandmother for the gift and for pushing him to sing. He said she bought the guitar from Sears and Roebuck.
5. He Produced Three Albums For Weezer
Ocasek was the producer on Weezer's "Blue Album" in 1994, which featured the hit songs "Buddy Holly" and "Say It Ain't So." It was the debut album for the band and it reached No. 16 on the Billboard 200. Ocasek also produced "The Green Album" for Weezer and 2014's "Everything [Will Be Alright In the End]." The band paid tribute to him on Twitter the day he died:
The weezer family is devastated by the loss of our friend and mentor Ric Ocasek, who passed away Sunday. We will miss him forever, & will forever cherish the precious times we got to work and hang out with him. Rest in Peace & rock on Ric, we love you. #RIPRicOcasek #karlscorner pic.twitter.com/JcTXevr6V8

Indian Union Budget 2021-22: Shortly after presenting the Budget, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman addressed the press where she highlighted the government's resolve to spend more on productive assets to bring a Covid-ravaged economy back on the high-growth path fast and create more jobs. She also highlighted the Centre's commitment to undertaking key financial sector reforms and keeping its balance sheet more transparent than ever. Edited excerpts:
On key themes of Budget-2021-22
To start with, there are two important features: We chose to spend big in infrastructure, and thereby in sectors with high multiplier effect, and we attended to the requirement of the health sector in the aftermath of Covid-19. We have raised the overall capital expenditure target for FY22 to Rs 5.54 lakh crore, up 34.5% from the budget estimate for this fiscal. The spending on health and well-being is going to be raised by as much as 137% to Rs 2.24 lakh crore in FY22. While we have stepped up focus on infrastructure creation and capacity building in healthcare, we have also not ignored the critical agriculture sector and raised allocation for institutions like Nabard for boosting credit to farmers. We also brought in a cess to ensure that we have a dedicated amount for infrastructure creation in agriculture, without putting any extra burden on the end consumer. For instance, where the basic customs duty, say, was 12%, we brought it down to 7% and added only a 3% cess. So the consumer will end up paying less or an equivalent amount. (Separately, revenue secretary AB Pandey said the cess will be levied only on a few items and the total amount to be raised is estimated at Rs 30,000 crore).

On financial sector reforms
Equally important are the reforms we have proposed for the financial sector. Disinvestment will continue, LIC will have an IPO and the FDI limit in insurance will be raised to 74% from 49%. One major cry of banks is the non-performing assets, for which we have repeatedly undertaken capital infusion. To further clean up banks' books, NPAs will be curled out, based on some formula, and they will go to a holding company-like structure. After necessary sprucing and weeding out of problems of a particular asset, the assets will attract asset reconstruction companies that can bid for them through a transparent process. After some haircuts, banks will recover some money on the bad assets for which they had the provisioning but didn't have the wherewithal to dispose of legitimately. So we are giving that comfort to banks. For funding infrastructure projects, a development finance institution (DFI) has been brought in. All lessons learnt from the IDBI experience will be utilised. This DFI will use the initial (government) capital of Rs 20,000 crore to raise about Rs 5 lakh crore in about three years. When the law (through which DFI will be constituted) is passed, even private institutions will be allowed to set up DFIs. This is because one DFI won't be enough to satiate the massive infrastructure funding requirement of the country.
On transparent govt balance sheet
We have made brave decisions to ensure that the government's own books are cleaned up and made even more transparent. The Budget documents clearly detail all the extra budgetary resources in recent years. Entire food | 0.396267 | 0.361418 | 0.359253 | -0.052943 | [

subsidy is from the budget. Budgetary allocation has now been made to clear FCI arrears, for which the money available with the National Small Savings Fund was earlier used.
On thrust on productive spending
We ensured that capex is not only driven up substantially but also implemented without delay. So we have spent, spent and spent. Otherwise, the fiscal deficit wouldn't have gone up to 9.5% of GDP this year. The Finance Commission has suggested that we give a glide path for fiscal consolidation and we have given it (to bring the deficit down to 4.5% or less by FY26).
On impact of elevated fiscal deficit on the economy
The impact would be good because it (elevated deficit) means the government is spending and, that too, on productive assets. We have stepped up focus on qualitative spending, which will boost employment. And with creation of jobs, people will have more disposable income and demand will rise, which will create a virtuous cycle. If Rs 20k-cr recap for PSBs is enough Let them absorb it first, let's see.
On Budget not sharing Economic Survey's optimism on growth (Smiles) One may be a bit conservative because it's finance ministry, the other may be flamboyant because it's the chief economic adviser. (The Budget forecasts a nominal GDP expansion of 14.4% for FY22, while the Survey pegs it at 15.4%). On taxing EPFO returns
Up to Rs 2.5 lakh a year you can contribute, for which you will continue to get tax exemption and about 8% guaranteed return that is also tax-exempt. This fund is meant for the welfare of workers, and their interest is being protected because anybody who earns less than Rs 2 lakh per month will still be paying 12% without a hitch. (The proposed move) is aimed at only the big-ticket money, which comes into the EPFO because it has tax benefit and an attractive return. Some put in as much as Rs 1 crore per month, and we thought that's probably not right. (Separately, expenditure secretary TV Somanathan said people who'll be affected by the proposed move account for less than 1% of the number of EPFO contributors).
On defence expenditure
Over the last three years, a lot of power has been delegated to vice-chiefs who can take a call on revenue and certain capital accounts, as the situation demands. We have also agreed, in principle, to a suggestion by the Finance Commission to a non-lapsable fund for defence; of course, the formulation will be worked out by the ministry. (Expenditure secretary Somanathan said the defence capital expenditure is proposed to rise about 20% from the revised estimate of this fiscal to Rs 1.35 lakh crore in FY22).
On relief to tax payers
We have introduced faceless assessment and faceless appeal system. We now take further steps to simplify tax administration, ease compliance, and reduce litigation. We have proposed to reduce time-limit for re-opening of assessment. All these are aimed at putting less pressure on the tax payer.
On using agri cess and farm laws
We have announced a variety of schemes for agriculture where it can be used. Nabard's fund will be doubled from Rs 10,000 crore. AMPC infrastructure will also be funded. Even under Atmanirbhar Bharat, Rs 1 lakh crore was announced to create farm infrastructure. Under, e-nam 1,000 markets are to be joined. So there are several ways to utilise the fund. Agriculture remains very important for us. As for the farm bills, the agriculture minister has said that he is willing to discuss the laws clause-by-clause with farmers. The PM himself has made it clear that the government offer (to stay the laws for 18 months) still stands. I think discussion is the only way forward. On the two banks and an insurer that will be privatised If I could tell you now, I could have said it in my Budget speech (smiles).

In the lifecycle of any business there comes a point in time when you have to metaphorically push your chips to the middle of the table and go for it.
Last week I received an email/press release highlighting the name change from QPRwines to the Wine Blue Book.
QPRwines, for several years, has published a newsletter 18 times a year; covering 17 different varietals that list wines reviewed by at least two different major wine reviewers, the QPR, or quality to price ratio, is measured based on the price of the bottle measured against the aggregate reviewer numerical score and then baselined against the average sales price of that varietal.
It's a beautifully simple system, but one that only a spreadsheet lovin' statistician could pull off, something that Neil probably comes to with either talent or discipline, or both.
I initially found the name change curious because QPR seemed to be a brand-able "Kleenex" like name that could become a category name. I was a touch skeptical even. Being a student of business, and a consumer of far too many business books and magazines, my immediate thought was to get some insight into the back story. Neil and I exchanged an email or two and I was able to glean some additional insight into the name changeover, albeit without much dramatic story arc—no middle of the night epiphanies; just a plain, simple business decision oriented around better building a brand.
It's an interesting time in the wine business: with the proliferation of wineries and labels and an increasing savvy amongst winemakers interested in penetrating the ultra-premium to luxury price points above $15, regardless of quality of juice, coupled with an absolute dearth of any real quantitative metric in the world of wine and you have a recipe for consumer FUD (FEAR, UNCERTAINTY, DOUBT).
FUD, in essence, typifies today's current wine buying climate. Sure, on a popular basis, Consumer Reports (CR) tries to fill the void, but I can't help but speculate that wine enthusiasts view Consumer Reports as a misguided interloper into an area of appreciation they don't understand. CR doesn't have the currency of reputation of a Parker or a Laube to credibly command an audience in the wine world. And, they aim at the common denominator, which debases their credibility with those that drink a higher level of wine.
So, there's a real challenge at hand here—wine reviews on the 100 point scale drive wine sales for ALL consumers. Sure, some say they don't pay attention, but those are usually the people educated enough to not have to pay attention. For the rest of the wine consuming public, a 90 point score means something. However, if you're a small business owner and you want to expand your reach beyond those that are cork dorks looking for a QPR score and cross the transom to capitalize on the increasing growth in wine consumption with less educated (think sophomore in college instead of Masters degree), though still passionate consumers that drives to an additional need for education, what do you do?
Last summer's survey showed the audience as predominantly male, 45-64 years old with a college/post college degree. They purchased 11-20 cases of wine in the past year, own 1-20 cases of wine and paid an average price of $11 to $30. Favorite issues (varietals) are Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Bordeaux and Zinfandel.
Early feedback is already showing WineBlueBook as an easier name to remember and pre-educates the consumer before I even begin explaining the product. Although Kelley Blue Book is the most recognizable "blue book" there are over 160 trademarked "blue books" on the market that cover various subjects including residential property, grammar, legal, wastewater, etc … even "pool cues." WineBlueBook strives to be the source for wine values.
It's an interesting dichotomy and it will be interesting to see the development of WineBlueBook. On the one hand, aggregating scores and doing the heavy lifting of analysis for a thirsty high-end customer is a tidy business, especially if you can take the branding of the newsletter/product into an area that can garner more mass acceptance—i.e. beyond the 45 + male | 0.830454 | 0.144752 | 0.052368 | -0.091963 | [

<3 Theatre. <3 Volunteers. <3 Staff.
Jimmy (centre) welcomes Chelsey (left) and Samantha (right) to the Fringe team.
The Fringe's team is changing! We've been hiring and we're happy to welcome our new Managing Director, Samantha Kannegieter, and our new Sponsorship Manager, Chelsey Stuyt!
Samantha comes to us via the Vancouver Folk Festival where she was their Operations Manager. She still holds the Folk Fest in her heart and you'll be able to find her down on Jericho Beach July 13-15 rocking a volunteer t-shirt. She's excited to be part of the Fringe and can't wait to meet all our volunteers, artists, audience members, donors, and supporters (aka, all of you) and celebrate all things Fringe this September!
We'd also like to say farewell to Chelsee Damen, our Acting Managing Director this past year as well as our Box Office Manager the year before. Chelsee has now moved on (although not too far), joining the Vancouver Writer's Festival, who are in the office right next to the Fringe!
And finally, you're invited to apply to be part of our team! We're currently hiring a Communications & Outreach Coordinator (application deadline is Wednesday, April 18) and we've kicked off hiring our seasonal staff, including our Lead Designer. Most positions will be posted over the next few weeks, so be sure to check out our job postings here. And don't forget, everyone can be part of the Fringe family! We start recruiting volunteers in June!
Happy Belated World Theatre Day!
World Theatre Day was on March 27, 2018 and while we're a little late to the party, we still want to celebrate theatre! The best way to celebrate theatre is to go to the theatre, and with coupon code THEATRE, you'll save 20% on tickets to Stephanie Morin-Robert's Blindside, on April 26-28!
Save 20% on tickets to Blindside with coupon code THEATRE to celebrate World Theatre Day! Photo by Thaddeus Hink.
As part of World Theatre Day, the International Theatre Institute (ITI) selects a playwright to compose a message about the benefits of theatre. This year, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the International Theatre Institute, and to highlight the cross-cultural and international aspect of theatre, the ITI have selected five authors to write a message—one from each of the five UNESCO Regions. Read all of this year's messages here.
Save yourself from becoming an abstraction! Go see some theatre! And don't forget to use coupon code THEATRE when booking your tickets to Blindside!
This year's National Volunteer Appreciation Week theme is: "Celebrate the Value of Volunteering—building confidence, competence, connections, and community." Volunteers hold a special place in the Fringe's heart. It's absolutely true that without 500 people donating thousands of hours, the Festival simply would not happen. So thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who volunteers to make the Festival run smoothly! And a special shout out to volunteers who have been helping Theatre Wire! These volunteers sell tickets and work as ushers in support of independent theatre year round. Thank you!
The Fringe also wants to send out a special thank you to the businesses that support the Fringe's volunteer program. A big thanks to Boston Pizza and Earnest Ice Cream, as well as to the many organizations who donate prizes and snacks. And an extra special thank you to Shear Comfort! Shear Comfort specializes in custom truck and car seat covers, but they love the Fringe and support our volunteer program with their partnership!
Thanks for supporting the Fringe and happy National Volunteer Appreciation Week!
This award-winning physical comedy is Stéphanie Morin-Robert's personal account of navigating childhood with a glass eye, the bullies and friends that shaped her experiences, and how the feat of overcoming and embracing disadvantage has made her the woman she is today.

It's as easy as checking out the Theatre Wire subscription page and booking tickets to at least three shows. That's it. When you go to pay, your subscription discount is applied automatically, you become a subscriber, and you are entitled to some great subscriber benefits! Theatre Wire subscription shows are award winning, presented by the most talented independent theatre makers in Vancouver, and start as low as $16.50, before your subscriber discount!
Consider starting off your Theatre Wire Subscription with Blindside. You may recognize Stephanie Morin-Robert as one half of The Merkin Sisters, or as one half of Bushel and Peck. In her solo show Blindside, Stephanie integrates live video projection, contemporary dance, and comedic storytelling as she recounts her life as a feisty 7-year-old who wields her disability as a weapon. The show is on April 26 through 28.
Fringe Lover Kevin Campbell put up $5,000 and asked you to step up and support the Fringe and Theatre Wire with a donation, and boy did you ever! With one day to go we met our target and with Kevin's match have raised $10,000! Thank you to all our donors! For anyone who was planning to donate, don't worry, now is still a great time! We're planning the 34th annual Festival and the fourth season of Theatre Wire and you will make a difference to arts and culture in Vancouver and the world with your support! Once again, thank you Kevin and thank you all!
Be a part of the Vancouver Fringe!
Join the best Board around! Our Board hosts events like Board Night at the Bar, where we drew for prizes! Photo by Philip Dovey.
Always the banker in Monopoly? Love the Fringe? Show your love by helping us find a new Treasurer for the Fringe/VFTS Board (Vancouver Fringe Theatre Society).
Our very capable current treasurer, Bob Wang, will be leaving us in July, so we need someone to become the next Fringe Treasurer. As the treasurer, you would oversee the preparation of the annual budget, quarterly reports, and generally keeping on top on financial issues and helping keep the board informed.
See more details on the duties and skills we require. If you're interested in this opportunity, please contact Board member and Board Affairs Committee member, Jim Sibley at | 0.772927 | -0.236876 | 0.155086 | -1.178035 | [

If you love Buffalo Chicken Wings, you're going to LOVE these Buffalo Cauliflower Bites. They are baked, not fried, but still have a bit of crispiness. They also have that buffalo flavor you crave. It's alllll about that buffalo flavor, right? These Buffalo Cauliflower Bites are vegan, gluten-free, Paleo, and 100% addicting!
So, tell me. Are you excited about football season? Or do you really not care? Somewhere in the middle?
I actually love football. I grew up with two brothers who played all the way through college and loved watching them and their teams. My family always rooted for the University of Michigan and the Lions (I'm a Michigan girl originally) and I feel like football has always been a part of my life.
Along with football comes football food. Why is football food the worst food for you on the planet? Football tailgates and parties are always the most cheese-loaded, fried, and meat-heavy spreads you'll find.
Don't get me wrong. None of those foods are forbidden. Let's not even go there. But really, I'm not going to eat those foods every weekend from now until February, no matter how much football I watch. Not gonna happen.
But wait! Some of those foods can totally be recreated in a healthier way. No, really! Let's talk about these Buffalo Cauliflower Bites.
Let me tell you. These babies are addicting. Nobody's going to complain about a big ol' bowl of Buffalo Cauliflower Bites. Nobody. Trust me.
To make these Buffalo Cauliflower Bites, you're going to want to start with bite-sized cauliflower pieces. So you can pop them right in your mouth.
Then you're going to coat them in a mixture of vegetable broth, almond flour, and seasoning before you put them in the oven to roast. You can use another flour if you wish, but almond flour keeps these gluten-free and lower in carbs.
Once they are done roasted, you douse the crispy cauliflower bites with buffalo hot sauce. Oh, yeah!
Even if you hate football, you still need to make these. I'm not going to lie. I could eat a bowl of these little guys for lunch on a Tuesday with no football in sight and it'd still make perfect sense.
These would be incredible dipped in bleu cheese. That would ruin the whole vegan part, but man, would it be good. They don't need a dipping sauce, though, because they are pretty phenomenal all by themselves. Just get ready to be addicted to your new favorite snack. Cauliflower! WHO KNEW?
If you love cauliflower, you should also try my Simply Roasted Cauliflower or Cauliflower Fried Rice recipe!
These Buffalo Cauliflower Bites are a healthy, addicting alternative to Buffalo Chicken Wings!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking oil and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, vegetable broth, garlic salt, and pepper.
Add the cauliflower pieces into the large bowl and stir until all the pieces are coated.
Place each piece of cauliflower on the baking sheet, shaking off any excess batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown.
Take the roasted cauliflower and coat it with the buffalo hot sauce and serve immediately. Enjoy!
If you make these Buffalo Cauliflower Bites, I would so love to see them! Share them on the Happy Healthy Mama Facebook page or on your Instagram and tag me @happyhealthymama! Can't wait to see what you're making!

Girl, these look out of this world good!
These are so addicting! I used all-purpose flour since I didn't have almond flour, and they turned out great. I had some batter left over, so I | 0.345589 | -0.99946 | -0.544917 | -1.988362 | [

Fukushima Spews, Los Alamos Burns, Vermont Rages and We've Almost Lost Nebraska
by Harvey Wasserman
Humankind is now threatened by the simultaneous implosion, explosion, incineration, courtroom contempt and drowning of its most lethal industry.
We know only two things for certain: worse is yet to come, and those in charge are lying about it—at least to the extent of what they actually know, which is nowhere near enough.
Indeed, the assurances from the nuke power industry continue to flow like the floodwaters now swamping the Missouri Valley heartland.
But major breakthroughs have come from a Pennsylvania Senator and New York's Governor on issues of evacuation and shut-down. And a public campaign for an end to loan guarantees could put an end to the US industry once and for all.
Fukushima: The bad news continues to bleed from Japan with no end in sight. The "light at the end of the tunnel" is an out-of-control radioactive freight train, headed to the core of an endangered planet.
Widespread internal radioactive contamination among Japanese citizens around Fukushima has now been confirmed.
Two whales caught some 650 kilometers from the melting reactors have shown intense radiation.
Plutonium, the deadliest substance known to our species, has been found dangerously far from the site.
Tokyo Electric and the Japanese government have admitted to three 100% meltdowns but can't confirm with any reliability the current state of those cores. There's reason to believe one or more have progressed to "melt-throughs" in which they burn through the thick stainless steel pressure vessel and onto the containment floor.
The molten cores may be covered with water. But whether they can melt further through the containments and into the ground remains unclear.
Possibilities may include a "China Syndrome" scenario in which one or more still-molten cores does melt through the containment and hits ground water. That could lead to a steam explosion that could blow still larger clouds of radioactive steam, water and debris into the atmosphere and ocean.
At least three explosions have occurred, one of which may have involved criticality.
There is no doubt at least two containments were breached very early in the disaster. Unit Four is cracked and sinking. The status of its used radioactive fuel pool, which has clearly caught fire, is uncertain. Also unclear is the ability of the owners to sustain the stability of Units Five and Six, which were shut when the quake/tsunami hit.
That stability depends on continued power to run cooling systems, which could disappear amidst seismic aftershocks many believe are inevitable. A very substantial quake hit after the tremors that led to Indonesia's devastating tsunami, and few doubt it could happen again—soon—at Fukushima.
All the above is dependent on reports controlled primarily by Tokyo Electric and the Japanese government. There is every reason to believe the situation is worse than it seems, and that those in charge don't really know the full of the extent of the damage or how to cope with it.
Just five years ago a quake shut seven reactors at Kashiwazaki. The entire nation of Japan sits on a wide range of fault lines. Tsunami is a Japanese word.
Radiation from Fukushima has long since been detected throughout the northern hemisphere, with health effects that will be debated forever.
Some fifty reactors still operate in Japan. According to some, the Japanese public has the legal right to shut them all.
Let us pray they do. Yesterday.

irts of the national laboratory that was at the core of the program that built the Atomic Bomb.
The first explosion irradiated a nearby valley on July 16, 1945. Then came the two that obliterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
There are significant quantities of stored radioactive material in and around Los Alamos. How much there is, where it is, how badly it is threatened, how much (if any) has already been engulfed in flames remains to be seen. Evacuations are underway.
Official reassurances are not reliable.
Nor are estimates of the potential for radioactive fallout to spread throughout North America and beyond.
Vermont Yankee: Entergy, owner of the one reactor in Vermont, has sued to shred a solemn public contract.
The one thing certain here is the company's contempt for the sanctity of its own word.
Years ago Entergy sought official permits at VY. It promised in return that the state could choose to shut the reactor on March 21, 2012, which it's now done.
In recent years VY has spewed tritium into groundwater and the Connecticut River, in some cases from underground pipes whose existence the company denied. A cooling tower has collapsed.
But the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has extended the reactor's license and asked the federal Justice Department to intervene on behalf of the utility.
The request trashes any credibility retained by the NRC. The Commission was established in the mid 1970s to be a disinterested party on which the public could rely. For it to now take a partisan stand on behalf of a reactor owner it's bound to regulate thoroughly contaminates the core of its existence.
Entergy has sued so it can buy some $65 million in radioactive fuel the people of Vermont do not want burned on their land.
This will go to the US Supreme Court, where the future legal sanctity of any and all public contracts signed by any corporation, nuclear or otherwise, may be determined.
Nebraska: The flooding Missouri River continues to threaten at least two heartland reactors.
Late reports indicate Cooper may still be running, with public assurances it could be shut very quickly. What might happen if the operators are a little bit late has not been explained.
Nor is there much to go on about the impacts of flooded cores and fuel cooling ponds on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers or the eco-systems along the way to a Gulf of Mexico still reeling from BP's toxic dose.
But an almost surreal set of circumstances surrounds the true nature of design specifications and protections in place (or not) at Ft. Calhoun.
They may be best summarized by what happened to a "flood berm" meant to protect Ft. Calhoun. This huge rubberized water-filled sausage was sixteen feet at the base and eight feet high.
But CNN has quoted a company representative as saying a some sort of equipment "came in contact" with the berm and punctured it.
Not to worry: the "same level of protection is in place" as had been prior to the installation of the berm.
In other words, the device was installed to protect the reactor. Then somebody punctured it. But things are as they were before so they must not have needed that berm in the first place. Got it?
It's as yet unclear whether flood waters will continue to rise at these two reactors, whether the operators can protect them, and what will happen if they can't.
The corporate media is carrying virtually zero coverage of any of the above stories. All are subject to rapid, dangerous changes about which we may have little reliable information.
But we do know for sure that US Senator Robert Casey, Jr. (D-PA) now wants to see more deeply into one of the key holes in the nuclear façade: evacuation.
After Three Mile Island's 1979 partial melt-down, new federal legislation allegedly gave states more power over how to get people out of the path of a melting nuke.
But after an as-yet unopened Perry reactor was damaged by a 1986 earthquake, Ohio's then-Governor Richard Celeste sued to keep Perry shut pending a state evacuation study.
The NRC refused and won in federal court. Perry opened. Ohio's official | 0.278475 | 1.806455 | 0.303456 | 0.909564 | [

study then said evacuation was virtually impossible.
A quarter-century later, Casey wants to see what it might now take to move downwinders out of harm's way from a TMI, Perry, Chernobyl, Fukushima, Vermont Yankee, Cooper, Ft. Calhoun…..you name it.
Casey's being joined by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, whose demands for the shut-down of Indian Point, 35 miles north of Manhattan, have left its owners "shaken."
Cuomo and Casey might do well to join governors of states like Vermont, Massachusetts, California and others in testing the law on evacuation planning. Populations have vastly increased at virtually all US reactor sites since TMI. And the ugly realities that define the so-called "Peaceful Atom" are still making themselves all too apparent.
Whether the US will now turn with Germany, Japan, Italy, Switzerland, Israel and others away from atomic power and toward a green-powered Earth is up to us. The Solartopian technologies of wind, solar, tidal, geothermal, ocean thermal, bio-fuels, increased efficiency and conservation are now demonstrably cheaper, safer, cleaner, more reliable, more job-producing and quicker to install than anything atomic energy can promise.
A $36 billion loan guarantee give-away still mars the proposed 2012 federal budget. Constant pressure on Congress and the White House can kill that, and any other proposed funding for still more of these nightmares.
The stream of reactor disasters spewing from this dying industry is certain to escalate. The toll rises with each leak at Fukushima, every flame at Los Alamos, each legal brief at Vermont Yankee, every foot of Nebraska floodwater.
The need to stop the madness grows more desperate every day.

Intellectual Property Viewpoints
All Complaints Once Served—Even Defective Complaints that are Dismissed—Trigger the IPR Time Bar
On Friday, the PTAB's Precedential Opinion Panel, colloquially referred to as "the POP," ruled that the one-year window to file inter partes review ("IPR") petitions begins once a complaint alleging infringement is served—even if the complaint is defective. Specifically, in GoPro, Inc. v. 360Heros, Inc., IPR2018-01754, Paper 38, the POP ruled that GoPro, Inc. was time-barred from challenging a 360Heros, Inc. camera mount patent, due to a counterclaim for infringement filed by 360Heros that was dismissed for lack of standing, more than one year before GoPro petitioned for IPR.
In April 2016, GoPro sued 360Heros for trademark and copyright infringement in the Northern District of California. In August 2016, 360Heros counterclaimed for patent infringement—even though the inventor had not formally assigned the patent to the company. GoPro was granted summary judgment due to 360Heros lack of standing.
After 360Heros corrected the assignment in September 2017, 360Heros sued GoPro in the District of Delaware for patent infringement. Less than a year later, GoPro filed an IPR challenging the patent, and the PTAB instituted review. The PTAB ruled that GoPro's petition was timely because 360Heros did not own the patent when the initial complaint was filed back in August 2016, thus service of that defective counterclaim did not trigger Section 315(b).
The POP disagreed, and deviated from a line of PTAB cases that reached the opposite conclusion. According to the POP, the time bar clock starts the date the complaint is served, even if the complaint is defective. The POP relied on the recent Federal Circuit decision in Click-to-Call Techs., LP v. Ingenio, Inc., 899 F.3d 1321 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (en banc in part), finding that the time bar is triggered as soon as a complaint is served—even if the underlying suit is voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. To the POP, this approach will promote efficiency at the PTAB.
The POP's recent holding goes contrary to the usual circumstance of coin flip decisions being decided against patent owners. While the circumstances at issue in GoPro v. 360Heros are somewhat unique, the ruling does show that the PTAB may balance out the competing interests between patent owners and infringers in PTAB jurisprudence. If GoPro appeals this decision to the Federal Circuit, we may discover whether POP decisions are entitled to deference, and if so how much.

Is Education a National Security Risk?
The release of the report, U.S. Education Reform and National Security by a Council on Foreign Relations task force headed by Joel Klein and Condoleezza Rice has sparked quite a bit of debate in the world of education (Biddle, March 23, 2012). The report claims that our failing schools are a major cause of concern for national security, and it recommends some fairly controversial measures for remedying the situation. While their findings may be accurate, their suggestions for change in the education system reveal an underlying attitude that is ultimately more harmful to education and national security than helpful.
There certainly is a troubling trend in American society that is reflected in our education system. As Americans, we are largely disinterested in the world, and shockingly anti-intellectual regarding our own personal interests and motivations. These two trends are the major causes of the findings of the task force appointed to evaluate the security risk that our education system poses. Here is the summary of their findings:
"In international tests of literacy, math, and science, American students rank far below the world's leaders in Finland, South Korea, and Shanghai. They spend fewer years studying a more limited range of foreign languages than students in most other wealthy countries and just 1.4 percent of them study abroad, mostly in Europe. Significant majorities of young Americans are unable to identify strategically or politically important countries, such as Iraq or Afghanistan, on a map of the world; enrollment in civics and government classes is declining."
"As a result, students are leaving school without the math and science skills needed for jobs in modern industry. They are too often unable to pass military entrance exams. The State Department and intelligence services lack sufficient linguists and analysts for critical regions. By almost every measure, U.S. schools are failing to provide the kind of education our society will need to ensure American leadership in the twenty-first century."
(U.S. Education Reform and National Security)
The report lists the following as specific areas in which national security is at risk due to a shortage of youthful raw materials being produced by our education system:
Hi-tech skills – American industry and the government cannot find sufficient domestic workers to hire who are qualified for hi-tech industry.
Military Service – 75 percent of U.S. 17 to 24 year olds are not qualified for military service because of their physical fitness, because they have criminal records, or because of inadequate education.
Foreign Language Ability – The U.S. State Department and intelligence agencies face a shortage of those with language abilities in critical areas such as Chinese, Dari, Korean, Russian, Turkish and Middle-Eastern languages.
These are serious issues and the findings are corroborated by other research such as the June 2010 report, Help Wanted: Projections of Jobs and Education Requirements Through 2018 by Georgetown University researchers Carnevale, Smith, and Strohl, which indicated a serious nation-wide problem presented by the shortage of workers with technical training. It is impossible to ignore these issues or to not think that an immediate solution is necessary. The task force that created the report had several.
Task Force Recommendations
The report listed three main suggestions for improving education in order to make it a national strength, rather than a security weakness:
Raise Expectations – States should implement the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) to ensure that students are gaining skills and knowledge that will make them assets to national security such as science, technology, and foreign languages, as well as creative problem solving and civic awareness.
Better Choices – School districts should open up options for school choice so that students will not be trapped in failing schools. This would also serve to increase competition among schools and aid in further education reform.
National Security Readiness Audit – This would measure school success and make schools, teachers, and policymakers accountable for student learning. Essentially, this is intended to force states and schools to comply with the Common Core Standards and to punish them if they do not or cannot.
These three recommendations are well-crafted to appeal to popular current public opinion by playing off of the Common Core movement, the debate about school choice (Matthews, May 31, 2011), and the accountability movement (NEA Today, Dec. 5, 2011), but all three illustrate a common popular push to blame specific teachers for a larger systemic failing and to "solve" the problem | 0.786624 | 1.587999 | 2.322304 | 0.966794 | [

When I taught high school students, I told them intelligence and good spelling were not directly correlated. You can be a very bright person and a very poor speller. Additionally, semicolons and ampersands are easy for some people while exponents and factorials are easy for others.
It was my pet peeve, in fact, when creative people told me that they were not good writers because they struggled with grammar. Punctuation does not equal plotline.
For that reason, I never graded on spelling or grammar when it came to in-class assignments. Essays, however, were different. Why? For several reasons, really. When you want to excel at any craft, you need to check your work, regardless of the subject. Also, if you want others to take your words seriously, you need to take them seriously as well. And let's be honest. There are countless tools at your disposal when it comes to editing—not the least of which is a peer reader who can help catch things you miss.
So if you're even remotely interested in other people reading your work, it's good practice to take time and try your best to create clean writing.
You might be nodding your head in agreement or shaking your head in frustration. No matter who you are, I'm here to help! Here are ten tips regarding errors I see when reading drafts of even professional writers. If you master just a few of them (or bookmark this page), you'll be on your way to cleaner copy.
Pay attention to commas. This is much easier said than done. In fact, the more I learned when training as a copy editor, the trickier commas became for a while. Our team would have entire debates on commas (more on that later). But don't get overwhelmed. Editors rarely assume you'll get all your commas just right. However, here is one tip to help you along. Reader, when you're talking to someone, separate the name with a comma. It doesn't matter where the word is in the sentence, friend. Even if it is a common noun, dear, you'll be glad you set it apart with a comma or two.
You may be interested in learning another comma rule, and I'm happy to show you. Take two complete sentences with a conjunction in between, and add a comma right before the conjunction. It seems so trivial, but it can help your readers in big ways.
Chill out about certain "rules." Really. You can add a fragment here and there. And you can occasionally begin a sentence with a conjunction. I can cite plenty of sources to make my case, but the trick is that you don't want to overuse either one of these conventions, just as you wouldn't want to overuse complex sentences.
You know the word towards? Nope, you don't. It's toward. And it's also not afterwards. It's afterward. Simple, right? You're welcome. Both are variants, and dropping the s in both will impress your friendly editor.
I would of told you . . . wait. I would've told you. In other words, I would have told you. I should have told you. I could have told you. See that? Use have, not of.
Do you type with two spaces between every sentence? That was super helpful when we used typewriters. If you're one of those fun, eccentric writers who still uses a typewriter, good for you! If not, just use one space between sentences. I know it's a habit. You'll get over it, and you'll make your editor very happy.
Semicolons are helpful. You don't even need a conjunction with a comma to connect two complete sentences; you can just pop a semicolon between the two and be done with it all.
You can use till. You can use until. Please don't use 'til.
These words are different: affect and effect, stationary and stationery, allude and elude, compliment and complement. Pick a pair, learn the difference, and impress your friends.
There's this thing called the Oxford (or serial) comma. It's the comma you use before and when you talk about puppies, kittens, and bunnies. People get into fights about this punctuation mark! Here's my advice: unless you write for a newspaper, it's safest to use the comma.
So there's a start! Is this helpful? If so, I'd be happy to do this from time to time. Just remember that grammar and syntax are your friends. | 0.792103 | -0.75101 | 1.094763 | -0.763117 | [

Eddie Gray had a long and distinguished playing career with leeds United and Scotland which could have been even more illustrious had he not suffered from several long injuries. He had become Player-Manager of the club in 1982 after the club had suffered relegation under Allan Clarke. Replacing his former team mate, he carried on playing until hanging up his boots in 1984. He built a young energetic team but unfortunately while it played good football it did not have the necessary strength and physical power to gain promotion back to the First Division. The extremely popular and likeable Gray paid the price being sacked on 11th October 1985, much to the annoyance of the players and fans, and Director Brian Woodward was so incensed with his fellow board members that he resigned in protest. He next answered the call of his club when he joined the coaching staff in March 1995, when Howard Wilkinson brought him in to help Paul Hart with the development of the club's youngsters. He brought on Harry Kewell, Ian Harte, Alan Maybury, Andy Gray, Stephen McPhail, who all became full Internationals for their countries, and Tony Hackworth, Mark Jackson, Lee Matthews, Jason Blunt, Wesley Boyle and Paul Shepherd, all of who made the Leeds first team. Paul Robinson, Jonathan Woodgate and Matthew Jones soon came in the International category and were in the successful FA Youth Cup winning team in 1996/97 with the many of their predecessors. They also formed the nucleus of the Pontins League-winning side of the following season. Alan Smith and several others were later to join the conveyor belt of talent that was nurtured under the guidance of Eddie Gray in the Juniors and Reserve teams. After the departure of George Graham, his successor David O'Leary appointed Gray as his Assistant Manager in October 1998 and he had much to do with United's dynamic flowing football which captured the imagination of football fans throughout UK and TV audiences throughout the world. As time progressed Roy Aitken took responsibility for the Reserve team and Brian Kidd was brought in as Director of Technical and Youth Development as Gray became more involved with the first team. As David O'Leary stood back from the day to day training, Kidd and Aitken were given more influence in higher things with Kidd progressing to Head Coach in March 2001. The idea was to bring fresh ideas to the first team and for a while it worked. But, after hitting the top of the table in January 2002 United's League form slipped and the fans displeasure with former Manchester United Coach Brian Kidd worsened and he was openly slated by the fans at Everton on 3rd March 2002 as United played their tenth fixture without a win. David O'Leary departed in the summer of 2002 but his successor Terry Venables kept Gray and Kidd as his Assistant Manager and Head Coach respectively and indeed they were still in the same roles at the end of the season, after Peter Reid had taken over as Manager.

United's permanent new Manager in the close season, he installed Kevin Blackwell as his Chief Coach, Steve Agnew as his Reserve Coach and Adrian Heath as his Chief Scout and both Eddie Gray and Brian Kidd lost their jobs on 15th May 2003. It was described as being a cost-cutting exercise by Peter Reid, who had been asked to trim "football areas" by the Chairman Professor John McKenzie. Initially both had been asked to serve out a twelve months' notice, but received a lump sum payment of �1.2 million between them, in instalments after it was decided Reid "needs to bring in his own team to help him achieve the best results". Many had expected Gray to take over the temporary reins after Terry Venables' sacking in March, and he would have been a popular choice, but Reid had been handed the job. So it came as no surprise when after Reid failed to come to grips with the enormous challenge given to him, when after a 6-1 trouncing at Fratton Park by Portsmouth and with United in bottom position, he was sacked and Eddie Gray was approached and accepted the job of Manager of the club once again. After losing his first game in charge by 2-0 against Bolton Wanderers at Elland Road, using players bought or loaned by Reid, he went back to players he had reared at Leeds and played the talented youngsters James Milner and Matthew Kilgallon as often as possible. Cyril Chapuis and Roque Junior never took the field and Lamine Sakho never started again after the Bolton game, and he, Zoumana Camara, Salomon Olembe and Jody Morris were used only in emergency. However, Didier Domi was given a run at left-back and Jermaine Pennant was a regular on the right-flank. United went to the Valley to beat Charlton Athletic as James Milner got the only goal of the game. This was followed by a very creditable draw with mega-millionaire League-leaders Chelsea and a 3-2 victory over Fulham at Elland Road, and then a 1-1 draw at Manchester City. Unfortunately, their reward for that run of four games without defeat was to still langish in nineteenth place. They extended that run to five games with a goalless draw at Elland Road on Boxing Day against Aston Villa, but still were unable to rise any higher. United lost to cellar-dwellers Wolverhampton Wanderers in their next fixture at Molineux and lost five consecutive games as the financial storm clouds threatened to send the club into extinction. Chief Executive Trevor Birch negotiated long and hard off the field to ensure the club was able to exist on a day to day basis, but Eddie Gray and his Head Coach, Kevin Blackwell, had to rely on a central defence of Michael Duberry and Matthew Kilgallon with the expected consequences, as United's run of poor results showed. The transfer window came and went with little effect, as Michael Bridges went to Newcastle United but Eddie Gray was able to loan Scottish International central defender Stephen Caldwell from the Geordies. He proved to be a solid and reliable stopper and added solidity to the United defence, particularly when in tandem with Dominic Matteo, who had been released from midfield duties by the return of Seth Johnson and Eirik Bakke from lengthy injuries. After being unlucky to lose 2-0 at Villa Park in the last of the five defeats, the new formation got its just deserts as United scored a 4-1 victory over Wolves at Elland Road to edge above them on the ladder. With Paul Robinson suspended and Scott Carson in goal on debut, United went to Old Trafford as the death of club legend John Charles was announced and against all the odds came away with a 1-1 draw as Alan Smith rose to equalise with a superb header. While still lacking the services of Lucas Radebe and David Batty, Gray was able to call upon a fairly stable team of Robinson; Kelly, Caldwell, Matteo, Harte/Domi; Pennant, Bakke/McPhail, Seth Johnson, Milner; Smith Viduka and the settled squad again rose to the occasion as they held another high-flying team, Liverpool to a 2-2 draw at Elland Road. It mattered for nothing that they had taken points from several of the top teams, as they were firmly entrenched in the bottom place and their fate was becoming more dire as | 0.133631 | 0.370371 | -0.739078 | -0.119278 | [

each game elapsed. Another defeat at Craven Cottage by 0-2 to Fulham was followed by news that a local group of backers led by Gerald Krasner, as the figurehead, had been able to take over the club and end the financial uncertainty. The Chairmanship of Professor McKenzie and the PLC as owners of the club were at an end. The first game of the new regime was euphoric as United beat Manchester City at Elland Road on an emotion charged night to hitch themselves one place up the ladder from bottom place. While Gray was still enthuisiastic about United's chances it looked as though a miracle was needed for them to survive. As Mark Viduka scored in the first minutes at Birmingham City and United could and should have been three goals up in the first fifteen minutes, it looked as though it might just happen, but United capitulated in the second half and lost the game 4-1 and another nail had been put in the coffin. United had a succession of games against clubs in the lower echelons of the Division and Gray left his charges in no doubt about what he expected from them in the series of six pointers. United were without the services of either Stephen McPhail or Eirik Bakke and Michael Duberry was pressed into service as Dominic Matteo reverted to midfield. Duberry, Smith and Viduka scored to give United a 3-2 victory over fellow strugglers Leicester City, to keep in touch with the other clubs but the game was marred by Mark Viduka's second yellow card for time-wasting as he tried to wind down the clock. It meant that he would miss United's vital game against Portsmouth. Easter Saturday brought a visit to Ewood Park against fellow strugglers Blackburn Rovers and United totally outplayed the home team and it would not have been out of place if they had won by more than 2-1. Unfortunately for Eddie Gray he saw both Seth Johnson and Eirik Bakke fall to season-ending injuries just as the team was gaining confidence to win the challenge. United edged up to eighteenth and very close to several other teams such as Blackburn Rovers, Manchester City, Portsmouth and Everton who were all in poor form, as Wolves and Leicester looked to be near certainties for the drop. On the Tuesday of Easter Everton came to Elland Road and once again United were by far the better team and only a fantastic display by Ex-United Keeper Nigel Martyn in the Everton goal stopped them from getting the maximum points. It must have been heart-breaking for Gray to watch his weakened side with a half-fit Lucas Radebe and Dominic Matteo in midfield batter their Lancastrian opponents and not get the full points they deserved. It was two points lost rather than one gained and it meant that while they were still in eighteenth spot there chances of moving higher had taken a huge blow. Three days later Gray and his tired team had to travel to Highbury to face runaway leaders Arsenal for a Friday night fixture and, while hope still sprang eternal for a repeat of the previous season's result in similar circumstances, their depleted team was no match for the slick Arsenal outfit. The defence was cut to pieces at will as Arsenal totally dominated the midfield and the game, and 5-0 reflected the chasm between the two teams. The result all but sealed United's fate but Gray was still not conceding as, if they could beat Portsmouth, they were still in with a mathematical possibility of preserving their EPL life. United were in eighteenth position, two points behind Manchester City and five less than Portsmouth amd Blackburn Rovers with four games still to play. It mattered for little as a Vidukaless United soon lost Lucas Radebe and then Dominic Matteo as the extent of their injuries became apparent as Portsmouth outplayed them and were 2-0 up by half-time and, though Harte pulled one back, Portsmouth slipped out of United's range and left them with just Manchester City in their targets. United's EPL stay was over as after leading 1-0 they fell apart at Bolton Wanderers as Viduka was shown ared card and with him went United's hope of EPL survival. The longer the game continued the worse it became and 1-4 was a fair reflection of the difference between the two teams at full-time. The final home game against Charlton Athletic was played in a carnival atmosphere and in the final game at St | 0.270257 | -0.089268 | -0.839121 | -0.202522 | [

What "Twin Peaks" Did and Didn't Do
Twin Peaks: Collection [Blu-ray]
Describing the classic television series "Twin Peaks" is a challenge. There is no one way to explain what it was about, sometimes because it didn't know itself. Half way through the series there was a dramatic reveal that many consider a disastrous decision. The network pushed the show's writers and creators to disclose a major plot. By resolving a major plot point, the purpose for the series' existence was destroyed. Loyal fans continued to watch by grasping hold of other underlying elements. The remaining viewers jumped ship and it couldn't recover enough. Even if the show gave into the network demands, the opportunities for a creative reinvention existed; but were squandered. What worked kept it forever in pop-culture consciousness. What they missed developing could have saved it from ignoble failure.
The show starts out with the discovery of a murdered girl. The whole town grieves because she was well known and loved. An eccentric FBI agent named Cooper arrives to try and solve the case. He discovers, along with the audience, the peculiarities of residence in this sleepy Washington lumber town. Each character has quirks and flaws that set them apart from the normal cast of television programming. To put it another way, the whole town is a psychological mess even without the discovery of Laura Palmer's body. And it works brilliantly to create both tragic and comic moments at the same time. The viewer is left to decide if they want to laugh or cry. And it only got better from there until it didn't.
The beginning of the end for the series tied directly to a major end to what held the whole together. The question of who killed Laura Palmer was definitively answered. That sent shortwaves through the viewing audience. They might have been excited to find out the answer to the biggest television secret of all time, but for many there was nowhere else to go. The appeal started and ended with the question of who killed the town's most popular girl. Many more secrets had begun to open up, but the writers didn't involve Laura Palmer as more than a passing reference. Once the show finally picked up new mythology very few continued to follow the strange paths.
What the show did right, before the big mess in the middle, was create a town that people may not have wanted to live in, but they had fun visiting. These were your strange neighbors that delighted you, confused you, worried you, scared you, and remained separate from the world around them. At the same time, they were specimens of each of our inner secrets and fears if given the permission to let loose. At the same time, they were over dramatized to form a safe distance.
At a time when formulaic television was the norm, "Twin Peaks" broke all boundaries of genre and people were ready. There was the detective show with the hunt for Laura Palmer's killer. The town residence all acted as if they were in a prime time soap opera. Some scenes were done in a way that followed comical tropes. FBI Agent Cooper had dreams that grew more intense as the investigation progressed that introduced paranormal mysticism. Much of the story was infused with a fatalism and moral ambiguity that infused film noir sensibilities. It is a wonder the series got picked up and survived because of these ambiguities of content, but there was something for just about everyone.
Pinpointing what went wrong, as most people believe, is not hard to say. They had all the eggs in the Laura Palmer basket and dropped them. What they should have done was reorient the unanswered questions that still remained. The audience might have known who killed Laura Palmer, but there were more mysteries to explore around her death. Some examples include who was and were did Bob come from, why did Bob possess Laura's father, and what did the town really know about her and the murder? Add to that the mystery surrounding Agent Cooper. He seems to come from nowhere fully formed and yet never actually known. Why was he so interested in the paranormal, why was he picked for this case, and what was his life like before arriving? Some of these questions were explored in the later episodes, but too little and too late. The first few episodes after the reveal had no direction or action, later ones over-emphasized the quirky nature of the townsfolk, and old mysteries were replaced by invented new ones.
By the time the last few episodes arguably gave new life to the series, the network had | 1.219442 | 0.619269 | 0.311064 | 0.131755 | [

Victories & Good News Roundup
This edition of the Victories & Good News Roundup has been long in coming, on account of summer travels, general busyness of our all-volunteer team, and our desire to time the release to a moment when we all needed a big boost. The confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court seems like such a moment. In the light of this vote, we will be reassessing our priorities for where to direct our resistance energies.
But know this: We persist. This is a fight for the soul of our country, the rule of law, the most vulnerable among us, the survival of our planet, and justice. We are in this for the long haul. Which is why we pause every once in a while to recall and savor our victories. Ponder them. Let them nourish your spirit. And know that we are not alone.
First, items in Maine and related to our calls to action…
A lawsuit by Maine Citizens for Clean Elections forced Governor LePage to release $1.4 million in funding for clean elections candidates, which the law required him to do in the first place. We hope our next governor shows more respect for Maine laws.
Maine voters received national attention for passing Ranked Choice Voting in the June primary (yet again), this time by a larger margin than the first time, definitively overriding both the legislature's and LePage's desire to thwart the will of the voters. Some have credited the new system with the state's strong turnout in the summer primary this year. Maine is the first state to have Ranked Choice Voting in statewide elections.
Maine's Attorney General, Janet Mills, joined 20 other Democratic Attorneys General in calling on the DJT administration to end the policy of separating families.
… and joined 18 other Democratic Attorneys General in a successful lawsuit against Betsy DeVos and the Department of Education over the Department's abandonment of rules designed to protect student borrowers from abuse by for-profit colleges.
The increase in Maine's minimum wage, which we vigorously supported and which voters approved in 2017, has already significantly helped Maine's poorest citizens and has helped lift 10,000 Maine children out of poverty. And remember all the scaremongering about how this would destroy businesses and jobs? Hasn't happened.
Maine's high court ordered the LePage administration to file the paperwork for Medicaid expansion, another law enacted by voters through referendum which LePage decided to ignore. The expansion is expected to provide health care access to 70K Mainers currently without it.
Thousands of Mainers rallied in the humidity on June 30th to insist that Families Belong Together, joining their fellow citizens all across the country.
DJT withdrew the nomination of Ryan Bounds to the Ninth Circuit Court when Mitch McConnell did not expect to have the votes to confirm him – even though Bounds had been passed out of the Judiciary Committee. Bounds has a long history of racist writings. We like to think our C2A was part of the reason for the withdrawal (ahem), but some credit probably should go to South Carolina's African American Republican senator Tim Scott, who refused to vote Yes and swayed several of his colleagues, too. We applaud Senator Scott.
The proposed merger of Tribune Media and Sinclair Broadcast Group is dead! The FCC voiced serious misgivings, and Tribune withdrew from the arrangement. Had it gone through, this merger would have resulted in extreme, uniform, pro-Trump propaganda being pumped into over 70% of American households. (See our C2A.) Thanks to all who helped make some noise! We are thrilled and relieved.
A federal judge ordered the Administration to fully restore DACA. DJT can appeal, but must provide a rational explanation for why it must be rescinded. The judge rejected DJ's argument that DACA was unconstitutional and said ending it was "capricious and arbitrary."
In the world beyond Maine and our action items…
The Supreme Court refused to endorse a constitutional right to open a gun store.
Courts have ordered work on the Atlantic pipeline stopped because plans for environmental protections during the project were inadequate.
A judge denied the administration's request to dismiss a lawsuit seeking to prevent the government from deporting people who | 0.890035 | 0.972023 | 0.46958 | -0.273409 | [

Rotto rejuvenation puts options in play
By Mark Pownall
Opinion: Increased amenity and accessibility on Rottnest are signs the island is catching up with public expectations.
Rottnest might be getting more attractions, but it is hard to beat the existing ones.
After yet another annual pilgrimage to Rottnest Island, the last week in September again provided time for me to reflect not just on the island, but how changing consumer demands on Rotto mirror broader shifts in Western Australia.
It could be as seemingly insignificant as having smart televisions in the cottages and premium beers on tap, or the increasing array of accommodation options and new activities such as day spas – these are options for every day visitors, not just the well heeled.
You could even throw in the re-emergence of whales, a natural phenomenon resulting from changes to environmental laws some decades ago.
It is perhaps apt to consider this in the context of Business News's 25th year, although my links to Rottnest go back to regular family holidays in the 1970s.
Also prior to 1993, Rottnest had been caught up in the dramas of WA Inc, the heady days of close ties between the state's leading entrepreneurial businessmen and the state Labor government led by Brian Burke.
As late as 2000, when Liberal premier Richard Court was being attacked in parliament for turning Rottnest into a haven for the rich, he reminded his inquisitor Geoff Gallop, then leader of the opposition, that there was a time when being mates with the government meant all sorts of favours involving Rottnest.
Mr Court said in the WA Inc days there was free accommodation for many and even better deals for the few, including the private blasting of an entrance to Marjorie Bay for boaties.
The question of privileged access to Rottnest has been raised numerous times since then. In most cases, those beating this drum are the same ones seeking to suppress any development on the island under the guise of maintaining Rotto's egalitarianism.
Thankfully, I can report there is now progress in several areas that will enhance the infrastructure of the island and offer something to visitors who want a different experience from that of the traditional Rottnest villa.
For instance, work is well and truly under way for the glamping village at Pinky Beach, with the bones of what will be more than 80 permanent tent structures already in place.
Some of this accommodation is close to the road leading to The Basin and nestled quite near large tanks and other utilitarian plant associated with the more basic needs of the island.
The preliminary works have denuded the land of trees to make these facilities more obvious from the road and, it would seem, to future glamping guests.
This led a few of my regular holidaymaking friends and I to wonder how that will work.
Clearly a bit of rapid regrowth or tree planting will be part of the resort's finishing touches.
Nevertheless, this concept, which is being overseen by the Bailey Group, a family business with a strong association with Rottnest, ought to add to the options not just for those seeking accommodation, but also to enjoy food and drinks.
Recent additions to the island's options such as The Lane Cafe a few years ago and, more recently, Frankie's eatery, which even offers a Deliveroo-style home delivery option, have spiced things up by offering variety.
The expansion of the hotel and even smaller developments such as Karma Resorts' imminent takeover of the Rottnest golf course will add greater variety on top of the bars and function areas planned for Pinky Beach.
What does make me wonder, though, is how all this is going to function financially on an island that is extremely seasonal and which day trippers still find a challenging distance from the mainland.
One thing that is very different from the Rottnest of old is the reduced permanent population on the island and high number of ferry-in, ferry-out workers who come and go each day.
From recollection, that was a big change initiated by Mr Court's government in the 1990s.
In some ways, it is ironic that, around that time, the former premier was responding to jibes about privilege when I recall one of his government's aims was reduce the number of permanent residents on the island because | 0.948246 | 0.22533 | -0.041473 | -0.594028 | [

Was an Employer Liable for an Assault Committed by one of its Employees on Another?
In Bellman v Northampton Recruitment Limited EWCA Civ 2214, the Court of Appeal considered whether an employer was liable for an assault committed by one of its employees on a colleague.
Mr Bellman worked as a sales manager at Northampton Recruitment (NR). After the company's Christmas party, some of its employees (including Mr Bellman and the company's managing director, Mr Major) went to a nearby hotel for further drinks. When the conversation turned to the company's business, Mr Major became increasingly angry at what he perceived to be a challenge to his authority. He eventually lost his temper and punched Mr Bellman twice causing Mr Bellman to hit the ground and suffer significant brain injuries.
In deciding whether Mr Major's actions were "in the course of employment" (which would mean NR could consequently be held liable), the Court applied the "close connection" test established in Mohamud v WM Morrison Supermarkets Plc UKSC 11 (previously reported by us here). This test considers (i) the nature of the wrongdoer's job or field of activities (assessed broadly); and (ii) whether there is a sufficient connection between the job and the wrongful conduct. The Court held that both parts of the test were satisfied: Mr Major's remit was wide and he was seeking to assert his authority as managing director when he punched Mr Bellman. This was despite the fact that the attack took place after the Christmas party and at a different location.
While the Court emphasised that the circumstances of this case were exceptional, employers should take note that they may be held liable for the actions of their employees, even where such actions take place outside working hours and away from the workplace.
Can Workers be Held Personally Liable for a Whistleblowing-Related Dismissal?
In Timis and another v Osipov EWCA Civ 2321, the Court of Appeal considered whether workers can be held personally liable for dismissing a co-worker for having made protected disclosures.
Mr Osipov worked as the CEO of International Petroleum (IP) and made a number of disclosures which were protected under U.K. whistleblowing legislation. Mr Timis and Mr Sage, non-executive directors of IP, were responsible for the termination of Mr Osipov's employment. Mr Osipov brought a claim of unfair dismissal against IP. He also brought claims against Mr Timis and Mr Sage alleging that they had subjected him to a detriment by effecting his dismissal because he had made protected disclosures. Mr Timis and Mr Sage argued that under U.K. whistleblowing law a claim for detriment could not be brought against them if the detriment amounted to dismissal.
The Court of Appeal held that although it is correct that U.K. law prevents a claim for detriment being brought against an employer if the detriment amounts to dismissal (in which case the appropriate claim is unfair dismissal), a claim for detriment could be brought personally against individual workers where the detriment amounts to dismissal. This decision ensures that whistleblowers do not receive less protection than workers subjected to other forms of discrimination or victimisation.
To reduce potential exposure to whistleblowing claims, against both themselves and their workers, employers should ensure that they have in place up to date whistleblowing policies and provide effective training, including making workers aware of the risk of personal liability.
In George v London Borough of Brent UKEAT/0089/18/RN, the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) looked at whether failing to offer a trial period in respect of an alternative role for an employee at risk of redundancy rendered a dismissal unfair.
Ms George was a library manager for the London Borough of Brent (Brent). When her role was identified as being at risk of redundancy, she was offered an alternative role in a more junior position. Brent informed her that she would not be offered a trial period, even though she had a contractual entitlement to such a period under Brent's redundancy policy and a statutory entitlement under U.K. law. Ms George declined the alternative role, was dismissed for redundancy and brought an unfair dismissal claim.

CLEVELAND (AP) Kyrie Irving scored 35 points, including 13 in the final 2:52, and the Cleveland Cavaliers stunned the Oklahoma City Thunder 115-110 on Saturday.
One night after saying he was ``disinterested'' during a loss in Detroit, Irving was simply spectacular down the stretch. He single-handedly closed out one of the NBA's best teams, making his last five shots and showing why he's an All-Star at 20. Irving's biggest shot was a 3-pointer with 42 seconds left to make it 113-108.
Kevin Durant scored 32 points and Russell Westbrook had 28 for the Thunder, who came in 35-11 and with the league's best road record. Durant left briefly in the third quarter with an apparent back injury.
Marreese Speights scored 21 points, including eight straight in the fourth when Cleveland's reserves opened a lead.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Tim Duncan sprained his left knee and right ankle in the first half of the Spurs' victory.
Tony Parker scored 19 points, Danny Green added 15 and Tiago Splitter had 12 for San Antonio (38-11), which has won 18 straight at home.
John Wall scored 21 points and Martell Webster had 14 for Washington (11-35), which has lost 13 straight to San Antonio.
Webster rolled into the back of Duncan's legs while fighting for a rebound with 3:54 left in the second quarter, and there were audible gasps in the crowd while the All-Star was on the floor holding his left knee for several minutes.
Duncan left the locker room without speaking to reporters, but Parker said he talked to his fellow All-Star after the game.
NEW YORK (AP) - Amare Stoudemire was 10 for 10 from the field for 21 points, and the Knicks unleashed a 38-4 run on Sacramento in the first half and went on to their fourth straight victory.
The Knicks actually trailed by 10 when Stoudemire entered in the first quarter, then went on to challenge the franchise-record victory margin of 48 points.
It was an awesome display by New York in front of some special guests: 150 children, their families and teachers from Sandy Hook Elementary School. The Knicks didn't even need much from Carmelo Anthony, who tied a season low with nine points and had his run of 20-point games snapped at 31, the longest single-season streak in franchise history.
J.R. Smith scored 25 points and Steve Novak added 15 as the Knicks made 19 3-pointers.
DeMarcus Cousins had 25 points and nine rebounds for the Kings.
HOUSTON (AP) - James Harden had 21 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists for his first career triple-double, leading the Rockets to the victory.
Bobcats rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was taken off the court on a stretcher in the fourth quarter after teammate Jeff Taylor collided with him going for a rebound. Kidd-Gilchrist was fitted with a neck brace and taken to the hospital.
The team said late Saturday night that Kidd-Gilchrist would be hospitalized overnight with a concussion. The X-rays and a CT scan were negative, the Bobcats said.
Chandler Parsons and Patrick Patterson scored 24 points apiece for the Rockets.
Kemba Walker scored 24 points and Ramon Sessions had 20 points for Charlotte.
The Rockets scored 28 fast-break points and shot 51 percent (42 of 82) from the field.
ATLANTA (AP) - Luol Deng had 25 points and 14 rebounds, and the short-handed Bulls used their stifling defense to shut down the Hawks.
Playing without injured starters Kirk Hinrich, Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer, Chicago dominated near the basket and got a lift from the frenetic play of Nate Robinson. The Bulls used only eight players for the second straight night, but it was | -0.229846 | -0.121996 | -1.146006 | -1.192343 | [

Prof. Wole Soyinka, eminent Nobel Laureate, has said President Goodluck Jonathan is worse than Nebuchadnezzar, the Biblical neo-Babylonian king.
In a speech titled, "King Nebuchadnezzar – The Reign of Impunity" read by Soyinka at the Freedom Park in Lagos, Nigeria, e expressed the view that as worse as the reign of Nebuchadnezzar was as recorded in the Holy Bible, he was a nation builder and a warrior.
He said, "I shall not insist that the historical/biblical figure of Nebuchadnezzar is uniquely apt for the pivotal figure of the 'democratic' history in the making at this moment – for one thing, Nebuchadnezzar was a nation builder and a warrior.
"One could argue even more convincingly for the figure of Balthazar, his successor, or indeed Emperor Nero as reference point – you all remember him – the emperor who took to fiddling while Rome was burning. However you should easily recall why I opted for King Nebuchadnezzar – the figure that currently sits on the top of our political pile himself evoked it, albeit in a context that virtuously disclaimed any similarities, even tendencies.
"The act of scaling gates and walls to fulfil their duty by the people must be set down as their finest hour. They must be applauded, not derided. If shame belongs anywhere, it belongs to the Inspector General of Police and his lavish adherence to illegal and unconstitutional instructions – to undermine a democratic structure, and one (to make matters worse) convoked in response to an emergency of dire concern.
"What sticks to this policeman (Abba) is worse than shame, it is infamy. Such a public servant deserves to be publicly pilloried, tried and meted a punishment that is appropriate to treasonable acts, if only to serve as a deterrent to others in positions of responsibility under the law. To demand less is to reduce ourselves below the status of free citizens of a free nation.
"For this latest outrage, one in an escalating series of impunity, the buck stops yet again at the presidency and that incumbent, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, continues to surprise us in ways that very few have conjectured.
"The shambles that punctuated a presidential campaign visit at the OAU a few days ago merely underline the total alienation of President Jonathan from the reality that has engulfed the nation.
"That a national leader should go campaigning on the platform of ethnic support at a time when priorities dictate a united national engagement for survival is a grotesque undertaking that was tragically rebuked in the massacre of worshippers and desecration of the Kano mosques almost simultaneously with the alienated gathering of selected crowned heads.
"Long before Nyanya, long before Chibok, long before the mildest of then now innumerable violations of our basic right to exist as free citizens, the march of a nation towards implosion has dominated the landscape but an obsession with the pettiness of power has obscured remedial vision and thus, the creative options constantly open to prescient leadership.
"The lesson of Mali was completely lost on complacent leadership, however, leaving time and space for alien invaders to make common cause with the internal, unleashing detruction at will and dancing around a nation whose armed forces have acquitted themselves creditably on foreign missions.
"The architect of the initial policy of containment was the recently deceased Gbenga Ashiru, then Foreign Minister, unceremoniously removed for the ends of premature politicking, before the logical development of that initiative.
Soyinka, who was obviously displeased with the way the ship of the country is being steered by Jonathan, also blamed him for mayhem witnessed recently at the National Assembly.
He accused the President of desperacy to return to power in 2015, so much so that he is exploiting ethnic sentiment as a political tool.
It would be recalled that in the Holy Bible, that King Nebuchadnezzar ruled with so much power, and despite his awesomeness, at the peek of his reign, he became too arrogant to the extent that God tampered with his heart and made him to eat grass and live like an animal for seven years, after which he was | 0.778406 | 0.281735 | -0.495143 | 0.519359 | [

4 Szpital Okręgowy im. gen. dyw. dr. Felicjana Sławoja Składkowskiego – jednostka organizacyjna służby zdrowia Wojska Polskiego II Rzeczypospolitej.
Zadaniem 4 Szpitala Okręgowego było leczenie wojskowych i osób uprawnionych do leczenia wojskowego Okręgu Korpusu nr IV. Szpital dysponował ambulatorium dentystycznym, chirurgicznym, okulistycznym, laryngologicznym oraz przychodnią ogólną dla chorych. Komendant szpitala posiadał uprawnienia dowódcy pułku.
Historia szpitala
Minister spraw wojskowych wydał rozkaz nr O.I.Szt.Gen. 7980 Org. Częściowa likwidacja zakładów służby zdrowia, w którym między innymi nakazał dowódcy Okręgu Korpusu Nr IV zredukować z dniem 25 lipca 1924 roku liczbę łóżek w szpitalu do 400.
Z dniem 1 lipca 1931 roku minister spraw wojskowych wcielił kadrę 4 batalionu sanitarnego, bez zmiany nazwy i zadań, do 4 Szpitala Okręgowego i jednocześnie zwiększył skład osobowy szpitala o skład osobowy kadry.
25 września 1937 roku minister spraw wojskowych generał dywizji Tadeusz Kasprzycki nadał 4 Szpitalowi Okręgowemu nazwę "4 Szpital Okręgowy imienia generała dywizji dra Felicjana Sławoja Składkowskiego".
4 Szpital Okręgowy był jednostką mobilizującą. Komendant szpitala był odpowiedzialny za przygotowanie mobilizacji, a komendant kadry zapasowej za jej przeprowadzenie.
Zgodnie z planem mobilizacyjnym "W" kadra zapasowa 4 Szpitala Okręgowego przed wykonaniem nałożonych na nią zadań mobilizacyjnych sama mobilizowała się w alarmie, w grupie jednostek oznaczonych kolorem żółtym, do etatu wojennego kadry mobilizującej nr 4. Kadra mobilizująca była organizacją przejściową. Po wykonaniu zadań mobilizacyjnych ulegała likwidacji.

Father's Day Movie Picks
It is Father's Day. You didn't think we forgot, did you? No, of course not. We got your card a long time ago. And after you fired up the grill or whatever it is you do to celebrate, we've got some ideas about how to keep it going with a movie. And for suggestions, we called up our old friend, writer and critic Jimi Izrael, to give us some suggestions for your Father's Day film festival.
Jimi, welcome back.
JIMI IZRAEL: Hey, Michel. Thanks for having me.
MARTIN: So what would you consider a Father's Day film, anyway? Is it something where a dad does something awesome? Or what makes a good Father's Day film?
IZRAEL: No, no. As a matter - it's not quite that complicated, you know? It's a film where everything in the film is not the father's fault. You know what I mean?
MARTIN: (Laughter).
IZRAEL: Because it seems like everything in life and everything in cinema is the dad's fault. So it is that single film where the father, if he's not redeemed, he is at least put out of his misery.
MARTIN: (Laughter) OK...
IZRAEL: Take that, Oedipus.
MARTIN: OK. That makes perfectly - well, with that being said, what's your first recommendation for Father's Day viewing?
IZRAEL: Yeah. Really, I'm really feeling John Krasinski, formerly of "The Office" and a few other things in between. But he directed and co-wrote "A Quiet Place." And he plays Lee Abbot, and he has these really hard choices, and he has to have all the easy answers. And anybody that's a father will tell you they know there's never any easy answers, and he had to deal with all the consequences. So that right now is just my favorite film because that's what fatherhood is really about. It's about not saying a lot and just taking all the blame. You know...
MARTIN: (Laughter) Oh, man.
IZRAEL: That's it.
MARTIN: Yeah - not exactly a laugh riot, but OK - Interesting choice.
IZRAEL: Not exactly (laughter).
MARTIN: No.
IZRAEL: Not exactly, no.
MARTIN: Any classics from people that they - maybe people already have in their VHS drawer if, they can figure out where their VHS player is? Any classics you want to pull out?
IZRAEL: Of course, people already have Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone from "The Godfather." Everybody owns that.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "THE GODFATHER")
MARLON BRANDO: (As Don Vito Corleone) I never wanted this for you. I worked my whole life, I don't apologize, to take care of my family. And I refused to be a fool, dancing on a string held by all those big-shots. I don't apologize. That's my life. But I thought that, when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the strings.
IZRAEL: Vito Corleone is the guy, not unlike me, who would do anything for his friend. I'm not whacking anybody. You know (laughter), but - I mean, I whacked the weeds...
IZRAEL: But you're really about your legacy, and you want your kids to appreciate it. As it happens, his kids do appreciate it. So "Godfather" is a classic, I feel, that works for Father's Day.
MARTIN: And it also has father in the title, so there - that works. OK. Well...
IZRAEL: Hey.
MARTIN: OK.
IZRAEL: Hey. It's an offer you can't refuse.
MARTIN: So we've already - we're in kind of adult territory here. But what about people with, say, the littler people in the house. Can you think of something that might be fun to watch with littler people?
IZRAEL: So I like "Daddy Day Care." Eddie Murphy has done - he has done an uneven job with his films, like, the last 20 years. But "Daddy Day | -0.240632 | -1.244776 | -0.84134 | -1.668394 | [

Black Leaders Leaving DISD Along With Students
Tawnell D. Hobbs, Dallas Morning News, June 7, 2010
[Editor's Note: Part 1 of this series, "'Black Flight' Changing the Makeup of Dallas Schools," can be read here.]
As the number of black children in Dallas ISD declined over the last decade, the number of black activists closely observing school board meetings has dwindled to a few in the audience.
And some leaders of a civil rights group that once battled for equal education in Dallas schools are now urging black parents to send their kids elsewhere. Some say the rising attention to the needs of children learning English is overshadowing the needs of black students.
"It's not a surprise to anybody that blacks are leaving DISD," said Juanita Wallace, president of the Dallas NAACP. "We know that Hispanics are really taking over the school district. The whites are completely gone, and now blacks are going."
The number of black students in DISD has fallen from 60,000 a decade ago to about 41,000 today. Meanwhile, suburban districts–such as Cedar Hill, Mansfield and DeSoto–and Dallas charter schools show growing numbers of black students. Though DISD's overall enrollment of about 157,000 students is fairly flat, the percentage of Hispanic students has soared to 68 percent. The percentage of black students, the dominant group from 1975 to 1994, has dropped to 26 percent. White students now make up about 5 percent of the district, down sharply from 57 percent in 1970.
Hispanic focus denied
DISD Superintendent Michael Hinojosa did not voice concern about the drop in black students in a recent interview, saying that it is a trend reflected nationwide. But the decrease in Dallas is more than in other large Texas districts and most major districts nationwide. He disagreed that black children in DISD are being treated any differently.
Hispanic leaders, some of whom battled alongside black leaders in the 1960s and '70s for equal education, say it only makes sense that more focus be paid to Hispanic students because of their larger numbers and special needs, such as bilingual education. The district spends nearly $6.9 million a year on stipends for certified bilingual teachers. {snip}
Diaz recently noted that he had a hard time identifying "Hispanic activists" to weigh in on the issue of blacks leaving the district–other than longtime activist and attorney Adelfa Callejo.
Callejo believes that blacks are "abandoning" DISD. She said it's like history repeating itself–when whites fled DISD en masse after a 1971 federal court order to desegregate Dallas schools. The order meant the district would have to provide minority children with the same education that white children were receiving. In 2003, a federal judge declared DISD desegregated.
Anthony Peterson is among the leaders of the Black Coalition to Maximize Education, a civil rights group that became a plaintiff in DISD's decades-long desegregation suit. He has children in DISD's magnet schools, which offer specialized instruction. He said he would not recommend sending black kids to regular district campuses. He, along with the group's spokeswoman, Shirley Daniels, has encouraged parents to consider other options.
Some parents in Dallas have varying reasons for bypassing DISD, including a belief that smaller educational environments are better–and safer–for their children.
Educator numbers
Some black leaders say that the district's focus on Hispanic children has caused black veteran teachers to lose their jobs. Data on teacher experience by race wasn't readily available, but the percentage of black teachers in DISD was at about 40 percent in 2008-09, the same as before Hinojosa's arrival five years ago. The percentage of Hispanic teachers in DISD has increased since Hinojosa arrived, from almost 16 percent to 22 percent in 2008-09. The number of white teachers has declined during that time, from 42 percent to 35 percent.
Joyce Foreman, also a member of the Black Coalition to Maximize Education, said she's not surprised that | -0.036208 | 0.578084 | 0.770124 | 0.056315 | [
