Q: How to download file from secure website with WinHTTPRequest.5.1 I'm trying to download files(PDFs) silently from a website with VBA. So far I login without issue entering UserName & Password on the initial screen, navigate to the reports page within the site, get my list of files successfully in a table. I get the URL of the file in question without issue. Here's where I hit a wall.  I do download a file but get a security warning when i open it that I must be logged in to view it.  I can simulate this warning by pasting a URL into any browser when I'm not logged in & they look the same. So I'm downloading but not authenticating.
The code just on the download issue:
Dim strCookie As String
Dim strResponse As String
Dim xobj As Object
Dim WinHttpReq As Object
Dim WinHttpReq2 As Object
Dim oStream As Object

' Set xobj = New WinHttp.WinHttpRequest
strDocLink = "https://atlasbridge.com" & strDocLink & "&RT=PREVMAIL"
Debug.Print strDocLink
' launch tab & goto url/doc
' try to download the link(this is the url of the file)
' strDocLink
Set WinHttpReq = CreateObject("WINHTTP.WinHTTPRequest.5.1")
strUrl = "https://atlasbridge.com/search/AgencyReports.aspx"
WinHttpReq.Open "GET", strUrl, False
WinHttpReq.Option(WinHttpRequestOption_EnableRedirects) = False
WinHttpReq.setRequestHeader "Referer", "https://atlasbridge.com/search/AgencyReports.aspx"

WinHttpReq.setRequestHeader "Accept-Language", "en-US,en;q=0.5"
WinHttpReq.Send
If WinHttpReq.Status = 200 Then
    strResponse = WinHttpReq.responseText
    Debug.Print strResponse
    strCookie = WinHttpReq.getResponseHeader("Set-Cookie") ' this only gets the cookie; cookie seems include the session id
    resp = WinHttpReq.getAllResponseHeaders
    ' resp = WinHttpReq.responseBody
    ' strCookie = WinHttpReq.getResponseHeader("Cookie") ' doesnt find the requested header
    Debug.Print strCookie
    Debug.Print resp
    End If
' then open second session & try to get document
Set WinHttpReq2 = CreateObject("WINHTTP.WinHTTPRequest.5.1")

WinHttpReq2.Send
If WinHttpReq2.Status = 200 Then
    Set oStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
    oStream.Open
    oStream.Type = 1
    oStream.Write WinHttpReq2.responseBody
    oStream.SaveToFile "C:\Users\MyUserName\Desktop\DownloadedMail\atlasreportdownload.ashx.pdf", 1 ' 1 = no overwrite, 2 = overwrite
    oStream.Close
End If

I've tried a few different things, but I don't believe I'm getting the full cookie & session ID.
The cookie I get back in WinHttpReq.getResponseHeader("Set-Cookie") or getAllResponseHeaders looks like:

NSC_bumbtcsjehf.dpn_TTM_443_MCWT=ffffffffc3a00a0a000000000005e445a4a423660;Version=1;Max-Age=2400;path=/;secure;httponly

But when I use LiveHeaders in Firefox I see:

Cookie: ASP.NET_SessionId=z2e4adilfjgiyynx2mntnh1k; NSC_bumbtcsjehf.dpn_TTM_443_MCWT=ffffffffc3a00a0a000000000005e445a4a423660; AuthToken=0be22946-a97a-442e-bd93-c80f0c96a525; AtlasLastMessage=1173; lc_sso7549731=1546651094987; __lc.visitor_id.7549731=S1546651090.26728e19e6

But I can't seem to expose that full cookie with AuthToken & Session ID, etc. when I Debug.Print the response. Can someone point me in the right direction so I can test a variation on what I'm doing? Thank you in advance.
Update: The response headers from the first request:

Sheffield Uni will lose, so not an issue.
summary: widen the heads to create more turnovers and a faster, more flowing game. this in turn will make the game better suited to a television audience and the riches for the sport that entails.
It also features a fantastic dig at the diving antics of footballers in the last paragraph.


Orkney consists of a group of islands, not just the biggest island, which is known as Mainland. This can be a bit confusing, as folk mostly think of the word 'Mainland', as meaning Mainland Scotland, Mainland Ireland, etc. but, in Orkney, 'Mainland' refers to the largest island.
And, though the group of islands known collectively as 'Orkney' are close to each other, geographically, and are similar geologically and climactically, they can be very different from each other, in atmosphere. Very different , indeed. Hoy, stands out, as a unique and magical place, as well as 'standing' over a large part of the West Mainland, including making its presence very much felt, at the Neolithic Heart of Orkney.
It's easy to get a ferry. We took our car with us, but some folk go as foot-passengers, and walk to the places they want to visit – folk who are younger and fitter than us! I'd advise, if you can, taking a couple of days, and staying on the island overnight. We were limited by only having a day, and so, we just went to the Dwarfie Stane, and Rackwick Bay. The other 'main attractions' of Hoy, are Berridale Woods, and the walk to the Old Man of Hoy. We mean to, hope to, go back , one day, to visit these, as well, but, for now, I can only tell of the day that we had on the island of magic mountains!
We went over on the ferry, then drove along and parked , carefully, by the road, across from the Dwarfie Stane. It's not a long walk, at all, to the stone itself, but, what a place!!!! What a situation!
There's a board-walk, as the land is boggy. The bogginess, means that Bog Asphodel grows there, a sweet, strange little plant. Please don't just march to the stone! Stop and look about you, drink it in, think about it, let the place , enfold you.
And so, you arrive at the stone.
It's said to be a 'rock-cut tomb'. It's nothing to do with dead folk, it's a resonance chamber. We went inside it, and Mike made toning noises. We hoped that Ben would bark, in it, to see how that would sound, but, of course, though he normally barked at any opportunity, when we wanted him to…..complete silence!
That's terriers for ya'. The Dwarfie Hammars, behind, make a natural amphitheatre/'sounding board'. Also, if you look across the vale, there's another natural amphitheatre, a big curve, in the hillside. We both felt very much that it was to do with sound. Use of sound for……Healing? Change in consciousness? Initiation? All of those, or any of those, at different times, when needed?
A person has carved, in old Persian, " I have sat two nights and so learnt patience." Indeed. You would either find peace, find yourself, or go nuts! Trying to put it as succinctly as I can…..Not a tomb, at all, a resonance chamber. Either a person was inside it, and made noises, or others were outside and made noises. Possibly even folk away over by or on the Dwarfie Hammars, or in the other curving place in the hills opposite. Imagine the build-up of sound, you could get there? Especially with lots of people?
The only link I can see, with death, or being a 'tomb', is if one of the things it was used for, was to place a dead person, inside, and then, again, use the acoustics, in some kind of 'send-off' ceremony – like the Arab people, keening over their dead, or the Irish Wake, where everyone drinks, dances, sings and gives the passing soul, a good send off, so they don't feel lonesome, on their way. Maybe something like that. All to do with sound, anyway. The word 'tomb', is used far too freely in relation to these structures. Whatever it was for, it's a wonderful place.
When we got home, Mike went on the inter-web and found a piece by Aaron Watson, which is well worth looking at. All of Aaron Watson's work, is well worth looking at!
We then drove to Rackwick, parked in the small car park, and walked to the beach. And how do I even attempt to describe Rackwick beach? Those stones!!! Something else, absolutely something else.
It's not just a stony beach, there is sand, but the most striking, amazing thing about it, are the rounded, stripy stones.
I don't know why the stones here, are like this. The rocks in the cliffs nearby, don't look like this. There are nice, rounded stones at Skaill Bay, and Warbeth, and other places on Orkney, but the stones at Rackwick are…………………………..I've said it before, and I'll say it again…………something else!
The whole place, is pure magic, as is the whole island. In fact, I'm not sure if I could live there, there's just so much there, I think maybe I'd go a bit crazy. But to visit, yes, I/we love to visit.
And so, we caught the ferry and headed home. "Where's the story?" you may be asking. I suppose , the story is of our experience of the Dwarfie Stane and its environs. What we felt there, and our awareness of the story, and stories, connected with the stane, going way back to the Neolithic and maybe beyond – then forward, through the centuries, to the person who took the time and trouble to carve how he felt, and what he thought to be the Dwarfie Stane story, and so, through to Aaron Watson, and us, and you, and………………………….
The whole of Hoy, is its own story. We must go back.


Clown tangs are very aggressive and will attack other tangs, even when they are very small. They also get very large in size and become even more aggressive. Care should be taken to ensure highly oxygenated seawater as it is very active. This species likes to eat hair algae (a plus), but if underfed, it will often pick at large polyp stony corals.


We have always been fascinated with the cars that James Bond whips around in. Well, today we get a look at exactly what Mr. Bond drives as we get a look at Daniel Craig's Aston Martin Vanquish. This beautiful ride is just one of only 100 of the Centenary Edition Vanquish made and comes in at number 007 naturally.
The design is actually going to the auction block, letting you own Daniel Craig's 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish. The ride was customized by Craig and Aston's Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman, boasting hand-stitched deep blue leather interior and a unique midnight blue exterior. The proceeds from the sale will go to benefit The Opportunity Network. So get something outstanding for yourself and give back in the process. Learn more from Christie's immediately.

Q: Styling  spinner arrows the right way The arrows of <input type="number"/> in Mac are extremely small and not useful both on Chrome and Firefox even on Safari.

What is the right way to style them without adding extra arrow images and etc. Note that I've already seen these thread and it didn't solve the issue:
Styling a input type=number
the out comes for that thread on MacOS are these:

A: Finally I found the way to make the native arrows a little bit bigger. Here is the trick:

input[type=number] {
  line-height: 30px;
}

input[type=number]::-webkit-inner-spin-button {
  width: 30px;
  height: 30px;
}
<input type="number" />

It worked well both on Chrome and Safari

Adam Smith Discourse On The Origin Of Inequality
...equality. While it is a nice notion that there should be a society free of jealousy, war, and inequality, it is not accomplished by a government imposing laws which regulates its citizens' success (even if that law if from the people).

Critical Analysis on 'Fools Crow by James Welch
Since these traditions have become apparent through centuries they are customary and have a tendency to lack individualism, as the group among which a person lives is seen as more important over the individual.

Empress Wu and Buddhism: A Symbiotic Relationship
Bentley, Jerry H., and Herbert F. Ziegler. Traditions & Encounters: A Global Persepective on the Past. Ed. Jessica Portz. 5th ed., 2011. 290-295. Print.
Analyzes how wu zhao, the first female emperor of china, rose to power during the tang dynasty and her active role with buddhism fabricated a perpetual impact in the chinese society.
Analyzes how buddhism helped empress wu grasp power and its indispensable role in the chinese economy. the relationship between religion and state is clearly identified by wu's unambiguous relationship with buddhism.
Analyzes how wu's interdependence with buddhism blooms as early as her overtaking of the imperial rule of china. wu is resourceful and violent in securing her title, and cunning in gathering support from the ordinary masses.
Analyzes how wu's allying herself with the religion is a monumental and imperative first step that is needed to justify wu's reign.
Analyzes how the blossoming relationship between empress wu and buddhism attracts converts and provides another source of fiscal income for the monastic communities.
Analyzes how the symbiotic relationship between buddhism and wu's administration is beneficial to the overall prosperity of the chinese economy.
Analyzes how buddhism and its monasteries have benefitted wu's bureaucracy in the tang dynasty, legitimizing wu's crown and building the chinese economy.
Explains that empress wu establishes a close relationship with buddhism during the tang dynasty. the recurring symbiotic relationship between religion and state throughout the chinese dynasties has been beneficial for wu and buddhism.

The Culture of Nova, by Samuel Delany
...spects of society such as class, artistic tastes, and economic motivations have been passed down from generation to generation to form 32nd century culture.
Analyzes how nova works hard to convince readers that society presented to us has no culture.
Explains that nova has clearly appropriated elements from 20th century earth culture and vegan culture. cultural appropriation is different from cultural exchange in that exchange is mutual and unforced.
Analyzes how the 20th century is the dominant contributing timeframe. the upper class echoes american culture before the 1929 stock market crash.
Analyzes how the appropriation of other cultures in nova does not mean that 32nd century society is devoid of its own culture or of culture at all.
Analyzes how the invention of universally adaptable "cyborg" implants allowed the creation of a subset of culture that is work based.
Analyzes how nova goes beyond the typical science fiction novel in its critique of the societies presented. the lack of solidarity resembles the idea of cultural capital.
Opines that lorq von ray's quest will produce a major shift in culture for humanity. culture is an inevitable and persisting force.


"It doesn't get much better than this in BK"
This street is remarkably beautiful, but it gets low marks for noise pollution. The three lane, one-way highway that is Prospect Park West may offer pedestrians the beautiful backdrop of Prospect Park to the east, but the constant noise of cars zooming (and I mean zooming!) by takes a little away from the experience. Then again traffic is part of the city's charm (even if it generally shouldn't be as bad in Brooklyn as it is in Manhattan), and it's something we've found we can grow accustomed to if forced.
There is a little movie theater down by 14th St, making this street a nice option for date night (a nice walk in and around the park followed by a sweet little film is likely to score points with anyone), and Prospect Park West is close to quite a few restaurants that would also make for a cozy night out (Applewood on 11th at 7th Ave comes to mind).
More than a few running clubs meet on this street before heading into the park for a workout, and joggers can be seen on Prospect Park West at all hours of the day. Currently (in the month of June), strollers can bear witness to impressive foliage and rows and rows of blooms - in the park and in the front yards of residents' brownstones.
It is a street in Brooklyn which never gets a sign of boredom. It is full of various types of people and beauty. It has multi-traditional society with the beautiful prospect park alongside. The view and the atmosphere is so lively that it is heart dying. You can eat, play, enjoy, stroll on the road.It is really a Brooklyn product i.e. full of life and energy.
RichO2 I thought Park Slope got better the closer you got to the park. Prospect Park West belies that narrative. It has a walled, noisy and raucous feel -- and a sense of separation from both the park and the down-slope neighborhood.
Prospect Park West runs along the beautiful and eventful Prospect Park, which is really one of my favorite neighborhoods in the city. This street has beautiful views and would be a nice place for a post date stroll. The neighborhood is filled with nice shops and restaurants, and Prospect Park is always filled with a diverse crowd. This is a great area to live if you're thinking of moving to the city.

"Small street off the expressway"

SAMJ: South African Medical Journal
SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. vol.101 no.5 Pretoria may. 2011
Drug administration errors - time for national action
Medical errors are not uncommon, and they may cause patient morbidity and mortality and significantly increase health care costs. In 1999, it was estimated that up to 98 000 Americans might have died annually as a result of medical errors.1 Drug administration errors are significant contributors to this problem. The risk of errors in anaesthesia may be higher than other specialties.2 An anaesthetist may administer a quarter of a million drugs during his or her professional career,3 many of these extremely potent drugs, frequently administered within a brief period.
For many years - and more particularly in recent years - the anaesthetic literature has been concerned about drug errors in anaesthesia. Several solutions have been suggested to decrease the problem;4-10 these include educating and raising awareness about medication safety, reading and re-reading labels on drug ampoules, checking the ampoule label with a second person or device (e.g. bar code reader), labelling all syringes in theatre, adhering to the international standard of colour-coded syringe labels, improving the organisation of drug drawers and work space, informing anaesthetists of new formulations or packaging of drugs, and establishing a mechanism for reporting and reviewing errors.
In this issue of the SAMJ, Labuschagne et al. report on errors in drug administration by anaesthetists in public hospitals in the Free State province.11 They confirm the problem of drug administration errors in anaesthesia, with nearly 40% of respondents admitting to making a drug administration error at some stage in their career. Their investigation, which polled full-time and occasional anaesthetic providers, supports the 90% incidence of responders reporting errors in previous South African surveys.12,13 An expected finding in surveys of this nature is that a longer, full-time career in the specialty is more likely to be associated with a higher incidence of errors. This type of survey is useful to measure the occurrence of uncommon but potentially severe consequences, as it measures errors in very large numbers of cases, but lacks a denominator.14 More accurate evidence on the actual incidence of drug errors during the delivery of anaesthetics is available from prospective studies such as that of 30 412 anaesthetics conducted in 3 South African teaching hospitals. The latter demonstrated a minimum incidence, of an error or near-miss, of 1 in every 274 anaesthetics administered, equating to approximately 6 incidents per month in each hospital.15 This figure is in keeping with a prospective study from New Zealand that demonstrated an incidence of errors of 1:133 anaesthetics.16 Another study from New Zealand suggests that by scanning bar codes on ampoules with a visual and auditory prompt to identify the drugs before drawing them up, together with conventional solutions suggested above, the rate of drug errors may be reduced by approximately a third.17
Although most errors do not result in major morbidity or death, a significant number can potentially seriously harm patients, e.g. wrong site injections such as that documented by Labuschagne, where a patient was left with serious neurological damage. Accidental administration of vasopressors may be the error with the greatest potential to contribute to morbidity and mortality. In the study by Labuschagne, 4 errors (12.2%) were due to the inadvertent administration of adrenaline instead of atropine or fentanyl. Although no adverse consequences were reported, subtle organ damage cannot be excluded. That one of the most common errors in this study remains the substitution of suxamethonium for fentanyl, indicates the poor response in South Africa to publications identifying the problem, highlighting causative factors, and suggesting preventive measures.10,18
Labuschagne's work confirms earlier surveys that anaesthetists in South Africa would like a formal mechanism for reporting errors to be implemented.13 The majority identified the South African Society of Anaesthesiologists (SASA) as the preferred organisation to take responsibility for this task. The procedure could take the form of an online, anonymous reporting system freely accessible to all anaesthetic providers. Data collected nationally should be used to identify the causes of errors and provide a rational basis for instituting remedial action.
Poor ampoule labelling remains a major cause of substitution errors. Gordon suggested in 2004 that SASA should be involved with the pharmaceutical industry to improve and standardise ampoule labels. Despite approaches to the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS), by SASA, very little has been achieved in this regard.
Drug-class-specific colour-coded syringe labels are used internationally to reduce errors. In 2009, the SABS approved a new standard for colour-coded syringe labelling in theatres (SANS 26825:2009) in line with the international ISO standard. The standard provides recommendations for the colour, size, design, general properties and typographical characteristics of the labels, and can be ordered from the SABS website https://www.sabs.co.za.19 It is disappointing to note that less than a quarter of respondents in the current survey were aware of the South African standard, and only a quarter of these made regular use of it.
Labuschagne's study highlights the lack of any co-ordinated response by clinicians and managers to address the repeatedly documented occurrence of preventable drug administration errors on patients in operating theatres in South Africa. It is time for medical schools, SASA, the Department of Health, and the Medicines Control Council, together with pharmaceutical companies, the SABS, anaesthetic providers, and public and private hospitals to work together and take the necessary steps to prevent and reduce these errors.
Undergraduates at medical schools should receive lectures in patient safety as part of their curriculum. The possibility of medication errors and how to prevent them should also be emphasised during intern and registrar training.
Colour-coded syringe labels meeting the SABS standard should be available in all operating theatres throughout South Africa. While the efficacy of colour coding labels may still be the subject of debate, there is growing evidence that they contribute to patient safety and may decrease the danger of substitution errors from a different drug class.17
Both private sector and state sector drug procurement agencies should engage pharmaceutical companies to improve the standard of ampoule labelling and recognition. The technology exists in South Africa to consider bar coding of ampoules and employing the use of computer-generated audio and visual prompts, as advocated by Merry and Webster.9,17 South Africa must develop a standard for ampoule labelling similar to that adopted in the USA and Canada. This will require collaboration between the SABS, Medicines Control Council and the pharmaceutical industry.
The time has come to start implementing the necessary steps to reduce these largely preventable errors.

Migration spurred by rising seas could reshape the country
By Nick Houtman
This is what mass migration looks like on a map of the United States.
On a screen the size of a small theater, Oregon State University student researchers display the country's coastline. Along every sea-washed state from New England to the Gulf of Mexico and up the West Coast, they run a chain of boxes like a pearl necklace around the perimeter of the continent. Each box represents a region such as Downeast Maine, southern Florida, Louisiana, the San Francisco Bay Area and Puget Sound.
With a single click of a mouse on a box, Hoda Tahami sends a web of lines to other parts of the country. By clicking on Miami, for example, she launches threads running up the East Coast, into the Midwest and inland to the cities of the West and South. Each line represents a human outflow, a pathway of people based on records of actual migration between counties across the country.
In the future, the inexorable rise of average sea levels could trigger migrants to travel along these paths. Scientists such as OSU Distinguished Professor Peter Clark estimate that sea levels will continue to rise through this century well into the future, although just how much depends on how effectively emissions of greenhouse gases can be reined in. University of Georgia demographer Mathew Hauer has calculated that if seas rise 1.8 meters, just under 6 feet, more than 13 million people could be displaced in the United States. (Cornell researchers have estimated that globally, 2 billion people could be forced to move by the end of this century.)
Projecting that possibility for the United States, students in Oregon State's geovisual analytics course ("geoviz" for short), created the migration map to show how the country's population might shift. "I wanted to understand how sea level rise will affect people in their lives," says Tahami, a Ph.D. student in geomatics, the practice of surveying and measuring the Earth's surface.
"Sea level rise is not just a problem for coastal communities," adds Nick Mathews, a graduate student in geotechnical engineering who participated in the project. "These people will have to move inland after they're displaced. This will really reshape the population landscape. It was shocking to see it."
Tahami and Mathews were joined by Efrain Noa-Yarasca, a Ph.D. student in water resources, and by Riley Johnson, an undergraduate in geography. Using data shared by Hauer, they worked with Bo Zhao and David Wrathall, assistant professors in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, to produce the map.
For their efforts, the students earned a first-place award in the 2017 Ecological Visualization contest funded by a National Science Foundation grant to the VISTAS project at Evergreen State College and OSU. View the map and see how migration routes vary across the country.

A French video nasty
By European Voice Staff
French interior minister's comments cause a storm.
Brice Hortefeux, France's interior minister, will be in Brussels on 21 September for a meeting of the Council of Ministers, for the first time since the eruption of a political storm over comments he made about a young party activist.
The French public was captivated last week by a video which appeared on the internet, showing Hortefeux posing for a photo with Amine Benalia-Brouch, an activist of North African descent in France's Union for the Popular Movement party. A woman in the video describes Benalia-Brouch as "our little Arab", following which Hortefeux says: "There always has to be one. When there is one, it's OK. It's when there are lots of them that there are problems."
Hortefeux has since tried to defend himself by claiming that he was referring to Benalia-Brouch coming, like himself, from the Auvergne. He has, however, received only lukewarm support from Nicolas Sarkozy, France's president and his close personal friend, who said that Hortefeux had been too "casual".
The episode is the most serious in a string of recent setbacks for Hortefeux. On Sunday his successor as immigration minister, Eric Besson, announced that he was dropping one of Hortefeux's landmark reforms – the introduction of DNA tests for immigrants seeking to join family members in France. Sarkozy is reported to have told ministers this week that "everyone knows DNA tests are useless".
In addition, Sarkozy has told Hortefeux that he will have to give up his post as minister of the interior if he decides to run for president of the Auvergne regional government when elections are held next spring.
The agenda of next week's meeting of justice and home affairs ministers includes a discussion on establishing an EU programme to resettle refugees in new countries.
Given his domestic difficulties, perhaps Hortefeux should consider applying.

Hang on to your seats: SLE rodeo is back
First a wagon train parade through downtown on Thursday morning, then nights of bullfighting, bull riding, amazing horse work and more at Garrett Coliseum
Shannon Heupel
When the 61st annual SLE Rodeo arrives Thursday, no one will have a better "seat" in the house at Garrett Coliseum than Montgomery's own Trent McFarland, a second generation rodeo entertainer and barrel man.
"Of course, I'm super excited for my second year back," said McFarland, a graduate of Robert. E. Lee High School. Last year was his first time working the SLE Rodeo. "I get to pick up where I left off, you know. Last year felt good. We changed out some acts and we're bringing different routines in for the crowd to see."
He's bringing in lots of fun, but it's not all games out there on the dirt. Especially for him.
One of the highlights of the rodeo is the PRCA Xtreme Bullfights, which McFarland said was a huge success last year. He should know, having seen it up close and personal from his barrel on the arena floor.
"That's a really exciting event," said Kayla Greer, director of communications for Alabama Cattlemen's Association. "It's adrenaline pumping. They call it the dance with the beast. You've got a man and you've got a bull, and both of them are trying to win the same contest."
It's action that's drawing in veteran bullfighters like Cody Emmerson and Richard Wayne Ratley, and a really talented 19-year-old Dakota Knight of Kansas. "He's a rookie this year in the PRCA," said pro bullfighter Blue Jeanes, who works for Frontier Rodeo Company. "If he comes in here and does real good, it'll really kickstart his year"
It's a 60-second competition where bullfighters gain points by how well they maneuver with their bulls, keeping them close and in control. The bulls also earn points. Bullfighters and the bulls get scored by two judges, each giving 1-25 points for how strong the bullfighter fights and 1-25 points on how strong the bull performs, for a possible high score of 100.
"The way that these three guys fight bulls, it's going to be a pretty tight deal all the way through," said Jeanes. "It's going to come down to who draws the best bull, basically."
Bullfighters can gain extra points with jumps, barrel hops or walking down the bull's back using the barrel. But all that running can take a toll on the guys.
"The bullfighters, after they step around and freestyle the bulls for so long, their legs get a little big 'jelly-legged' I call it. It's a lot of running from bulls," said McFarland. "Whenever they get tired out, they come to me. That's where I get bumped and hit. You never know. They might get crazy and jump a bull off of my barrel."
The bulfighting will be Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, but not during the Saturday matinee. "The crowd really to into it," said McFarland. "It's just crazy action with the bulls and whatnot."
There's also a tough group of cowboys who are coming in to take their shot at riding the bulls.
"Some of the best cowboys, ones that are fresh off the dirt from the National Finals rodeo in Las Vegas, are coming here to Montgomery," said Greer.
McFarland said it gets pretty "wild and Western," during the bull riding. If (or when) the cowboys get bucked off, the bullfighters are the cowboys' first line of defense.
"I'm there to help the bullfighters," said McFarland. "If they get into a bad situation, I go in with my heavy artillery (the barrel), and I give the bullfighters somewhere to hide. Last year, there were quite a few bulls that came out, tapped on my barrel and took me for a ride."
"We've got some really outstanding names in the rodeo industry, both in terms of stock and people that are going to be here to put on a really high caliber rodeo," said Greer.
"There's going to be so many world champions, I couldn't even name them all," said Jeanes. "Our entries are terrific in the rough stock end of the arena."
That includes Sarah Rose McDonald, who is a 2015 world champion barrel racer.
Jeanes also said to be on the lookout for the Wright brothers, a rodeo family from Utah who invaded SLE in 2017. "Almost every one of them were here last year," he said. "And if you're a fan of bronc riding, the Wright brothers usually end up with some pretty high scores."
Once again, Frontier Rodeo Company will be bringing its world-class stock to SLE Rodeo, including four time PRCA Saddle Bronc of the Year "Medicine Woman."
"That is a machine of an animal," said Greer. "That horse is a legend in the modern day rodeo industry. It'll be here bucking each night."
Frontier Rodeo is the PRCA Stock Contractor of the Year for 2015, 2016 and 2017.
"They're top of the line," said Greer. "They're the best stock this nation has to offer."
"Out of everyone out there in the rodeo industry, Frontier Rodeo is the best of the best," said McFarland. "A lot of folks think you need to go out West to a rodeo. All those guys out West are right here this weekend. It'll be great watching the best bucking horses, best cowboys, bull riders, barrel racers, steer wrestlers, and the roping."
Thursday wagon train parade
Before all the action at Garrett, there's an inspiring sight on the streets with long wagon trains as they make their way into and through downtown Montgomery.
They'll be rolling in Thursday morning, and include the Russell County and Broken L wagon trains, and dozens of trail riders. "Of course, we'll have the banner girls," said Greer.
She said it'll also include lots of rodeo queens, and the Alabama Cattlemen's Association beef truck.
"The parade will be Thursday at 11 a.m.," said Greer. "We're going to leave the Montgomery Biscuits parking lot, go past the Capitol and come down Dexter Avenue and loop around to the Biscuits. An interesting component of that this year is that Gov. Kay Ivey is going to be meeting us at the bottom of the Capitol steps to greet us and welcome us into town personally."
The grown ups aren't the only ones having fun at SLE Rodeo. There's plenty for kids to do, and a lot of it is free.
It starts off Wednesday night, when the rodeo welcomes Children's Hospital patients for a special night of fun and hands-on time with the animals during Miracle Rodeo at Garrett.
Beginning Thursday, there will be daily activities for kids.
"Each night before the rodeo on the Garrett Coliseum arena floor, we're going to have a stick horse rodeo for kids 8 and under," said Greer. "Just be there at 5:45 p.m., walk in and give them your rodeo ticket. Come in for free and get to play, do barrels, run around poles and just really cut loose on the dirt. Get dirty and see what it's like to be a real rodeo cowboy."
After the dust has settled, get autographs from your favorite cowboys or cowgirls.
During Friday night's rodeo, they'll have mutton busting.
Saturday, from 10 a.m.-noon is the Western Festival, which is free and open to the public. "We set up all kinds of fun rodeo events," said Greer. "We've got mutton busting, different games, face painting, wagon rides. Just a really good layout of fun events for kids on the Garrett Coliseum arena floor."
At the Saturday matinee at 2 p.m. they'll have the calf scramble for the kids, said Greer.
Saturday night will be the parade of the Junior Beef Expo winners.
"The SLE was actually created to generate funds to support the youths," said Greer. "The SLE is very much about youth, about children, about introducing children to livestock and just getting involved. We offer a lot of events for children to allow them to get down and dirty in the dirt."

Discovered in 1967, tanzanite is found in only one place in the whole world. A single deposit of tanzanite exists in the hills of northern Tanzania, hence the gemstone's name. Because of this scarcity, you can be sure that your tanzanite earrings will get a lot of attention. For one thing, tanzanite shifts its blue to violet color depending on what angle it is viewed from. That means that your tanzanite earrings will give off slightly different color impressions as you go about your day. Talk about an eye catcher!
No matter what your style is in earrings, you'll be sure to find something you love amongst these affordable tanzanite earrings. You'll find dazzling stud earrings, cluster earrings, dangle earrings and more that will provide a pop of color that sets your look apart. You can even tailor your look to the tone of your next event. While a yellow gold setting makes tanzanite earrings look stately and refined, sterling silver conveys a more subdued tone that could be perfect for a more relaxed environment. Decide what works best for you and go for it!
Affordable tanzanite earrings are a great foundation for a vividly colorful look. You can even up the ante when you match your earrings with a tanzanite bracelet or a tanzanite necklace. The crisp violet-blue color of your collection will cool down your look while heating things up at the same time. Whichever direction you choose to take your look, you can stay confident that with bold tanzanite you'll be stand out from the crowd.

Grinderman Launch North American Tour, Performance On Late Night With Jimmy Fallon This Monday
The cathartic force which is Grinderman, an ensemble featuring Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Martyn Casey, and Jim Sclavunos, launched their anticipated North American tour Thursday night with an electrifying sold out performance at Toronto's Phoenix Concert Theatre. In their review of the show, Spin Magazine raves "The ungodly squall produced by Nick Cave and three of his fellow moonlighting Bad Seeds (guitarist/violinist Warren Ellis, bassist Martyn Casey, and drummer Jim Sclavunos) was powerful enough to induce seizures, panic attacks, and hallucinations without any superfluous stimuli" and notes of lead crooner Nick Cave, "he immediately reassumes his mantle as one of rock's most compelling frontmen."
Grinderman are set to perform live this coming Monday night (11-15) on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The show airs at 12:30 PM on NBC. Check local listings by visiting: http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com

I remember how you started with just a simple square: four sides, each of equal length, plain white like our tablecloth. I hold it now in my hand, the wings still strong from the tight creases you folded; the small tear still there at the neck from when I pulled it taught by its beak and tail. It was beautiful how you worked: the precise measurements you made with your eyes, the flat of your hand ironing each fold into place, then your nimble fingers manipulating the paper like clay until it was crane. ….. I drop it out the window sometimes and watch it fall. It reminds me of you; your white dress flapping in the wind, arms spread out like wings ready to welcome the ground. …..I'm still amazed when I walk downstairs, open the door and step outside to collect it; amazed at how it can fall so gracefully from such a height and land unscathed, completely intact.
James is 22 and is currently studying his MA Writing at Sheffield Hallam University where he has been awarded a studentship from the AHRC. He has been published by Myths of the Near Future, Kumquat Poetry and Crooked, among others. His grandfather invented the peppermint, and he is living off of the royalties; sometimes James makes things up to sound slicker than he really is.
Every Friday, 1 artist/poet/writer, letting their work speak for itself.
'In the past, people have described me as pensive. As proof of that, and of how my mind works, below is this little slice of life flash fiction piece which came to life as I was thinking of writers, of bloggers and their blogs, and of how short-lived some blogs are or how quickly they disappear without a trace leaving us wondering what might have happened to their owners'.
I should probably say something explain or reason.
The closet is empty. Closed most likely forever.
It may return, in a different form. It does not even know itself 'if' or 'when'.
Things are good acting on life's stage, moving furniture.
Life's more beautiful in reality, the writing seems to flow better in private.
live, love and only come across wellness on your paths.
Do get in touch via the Comment box or @ArtiPeep if you would like to be showcased. You'd be welcomed!
We've got 12 weekend showcases * lined up featuring a real gamut of emerging and established creatives and forms every Friday (see below).
*FreeSpace Initiative (3 consecutive slots for further showcasing or projects).
There are also two mid-sized collaborations under our new strand 'Supporting Mental Health' ( part of 'Creatives Making A Difference'): The first collaboration bringing together 4 artists and 4 poets examining the dynamics of fear and trust and the other collaboration (involving 3 poets, 2 artists and 1 photographer) on light, comfort and re-assurance. In each case poets, artists and photographers will be working alongside each other on the themes.
The two collaborations above highlight one of the major threads of ArtiPeeps' intention which we're letting sit under the banner of 'Supporting Mental Health'. The artwork and texts created in these two collaborations, alongside 'The Recovery Project' will form an ongoing artistic and therapeutic resource for people in need and also provide an innovative access point from which people can engage with difficult psychological themes and issues. This I'm hoping to call ' Comfort Zone'. (This, I hasten to add at this point, is very much a work in progress). And I also have in mind that these collaborations could be grouped together as external exhibitions , to increase public awareness.
I'd be very grateful for any feedback on these two collaborations. What you liked about them? If they helped? How valuable you think this strand is?
we are introducing our Writer in Residence for October (Visitor Peep) emerging writer and poet Lydia Allison. We're thrilled to have her with us over the next month. Indeed, we have built a whole multi-form Halloween-style collaboration around 4 great poems of Lydia's which focus on a particular interest of her's- notions of deformity. You'll hear more about that tomorrow!
And here's where our third collaboration comes in….because October leads up to Halloween 4 great artists are not only providing illustrations for each of Lydia's poems but also collaboratively creating a monster together. At Halloween you'll be able to see the ghastly, terrifying collaborative Monster they've shaped together and a new piece of writing by Lydia too. We've also got a spanking new piece of Flash fiction with a Halloween theme coming out from emerging writer Jessica Cooke which we're also very excited about which will pave the way to the Monster.
We've also got ArtiPeeps' 2nd Artist in Residence returning (Lydia's predecessor) lovely neon artist Lili Morgan and her neons . Her monthly journal is back until the end of the year. It will be a delight to have her neons and spirit back on show. And there will be the steady heartbeat of Transformations poems passing through too on a weekly basis. All is well.
So over the next 3 months well over 30 wonderful creatives will have been individually showcased and have connected and collaborated together – making a difference and creating new artworks and literary pieces whilst showcasing their talent and artistry. That's the idea anyway.
I did a bit of calculating last week and I'm proud to say that since last May over 100 creatives have taken up ArtiPeeps' opportunities. I know that's probably small fare compared to some organisations, but it is a lovely firm foundation from which to grow. It is my every intention to continue and develop these opportunitives further and provide concrete oulets like 'Transformations' our 2014 large scale art/poetry exhibition on a regular basis. Now we have found a home in the form of Hanse House for our events this can happen.
You're feedback and support is much valued, particularly in relation to this new strand. – So do come back both physically and with your comments and ideas. There's lots on, and much quality and talent.
We hope you enjoy the diversity, talent, quality and creativity.
P.S. Today, I'm going to be hopefully inaugurating an ArtiPeeps online calendar on the 'What's On' Page so you can see 'what's occurring' throughout the month more easily.

Joining hands, raising voices
December 2009, Hanoi - Sporting a huge smile, 14-year-old Nguyen Thi Ngoc Tuyet from HCM City is barely able to keep still as she describes how she was introduced to the issue of climate change. "I first heard about climate change about four or five years ago because I am a member of the CLB Khan Quang Do Journalists Club and I became very interested in this issue," she explains.
It's the day before Tuyet and five other Vietnamese children leave for Copenhagen to participate in the Children's Climate Forum and needless to say, they are all very excited.
"I am really looking forward to discussing climate change with many children from other countries so we can work hand-in-hand with each other to raise our voices and share our ideas," says Tuyet.
It's the first trip to Europe for the children and for many it will be the first time they have even left Vietnam.
Organised by UNICEF and the City of Copenhagen during the first week of December 2009, the Children's Climate Forum will bring together 160 children between 14 and 17 years of age from 44 developing and industrialized countries around the world to add their voices to the climate change debate.
The trip to Copenhagen caps a series of community events, media appearances, conferences and workshops in Vietnam that began in April 2009 when two adult facilitators and one child from 21 provinces across the country were invited to participate in a two-day training course on climate change. This was followed by provincial-level climate change children's forums in four different provinces and a National Forum for Children and National Programme of Action in Hanoi, where 126 Vietnamese children from 21 provinces gathered for three-and-a-half days to speak with government leaders about issues they were concerned about and activities they thought should be included in the next planning cycle.
Following the national forum, a two-day national climate change workshop was organised to orientate and raise awareness among children and young people about climate change and to contribute to preparations for the child delegates' participation in the Children's Climate Forum in Copenhagen.
The last step in this process was a meeting between the child delegates and the high-level Vietnamese Government delegates attending COP15.
"Before the meeting I didn't have a chance to meet the adult delegation and government leaders so I thought they would be very serious and strict, but they turned out to be very friendly and helpful and they gave me a lot of comments and suggestions about my presentation," says Tuyet.
All this media exposure, education, preparation and training has certainly paid off, with Tuyet demonstrating an understanding of the issues that would put most adults to shame.
"In Copenhagen I would like to say to world leaders that they should to investigate the issues surrounding the 350ppm [parts per million of CO2] figure and if it is true then all the richest countries should find a way to reduce their emissions to that number," she states confidently.
Real impacts
For Tuyet, climate change isn't just an idea, it's something her family has already felt the effects of.
"For us, climate change is closely connected to our real lives. The weather is getting more and more unpredictable in Vietnam and there will be more severe floods and storms, like we just saw in the two recent typhoons this year [Ketsana and Parma]," she explains.
And it's not just the storms that are causing problems. Both her mother and father sell clothes in a market in HCM City that becomes inaccessible when the tidal floods rise above a certain level, which has been increasingly regular and more severe in recent times. On these days, the family's sole source of income is cut off, leading to growing financial pressures for Tuyet's parents and her two siblings.
"I live in HCM City and the flood tides have been much higher than normal," Tuyet says. "When the tide is high it's also very hard to go to school and water gets into the house."
Experts predict that Vietnam will be one of the countries most affected by climate change, however the issue is only recently beginning to receive widespread public attention.
For 16-year-old delegate Nguyen Thi Ngoc Anh, the first time she heard of climate change was only four months ago when she was selected as a participant in the National Forum for Children and National Programme of Action in Hanoi.
For her and her family, the impacts have already hit home on a very personal level.
"I live in Danang in central coastal Vietnam, which is prone to natural disasters. But these days, more frequent typhoons are hitting my region and they are more severe and unpredictable than before," she says. "In 2007, a very strong typhoon came and tore the roof off my family's house and all my books and belongings were destroyed by the water."
"Before I knew about climate change, I thought the increasing number of storms was just natural but now I know it is due to climate change. I am very scared about the future if these storms get worse because if this happens in my area, there will be more disasters and more people will be killed."
Anh understands that it's not just her region that will be affected.
"If climate change continues and sea levels rise, the Mekong Delta, where they produce a lot of rice, will disappear, which will have a direct effect on the people there. In other areas, the drought will reduce agricultural production, so life could totally change in Vietnam."
Her father died just after she was born and with only her mother and older sister earning money as nurses in the local hospital, any extra costs or injuries to the two breadwinners could be catastrophic for the family's finances.
Anh has learned over the last few months that there are real activities that can be done now to address the problem and she will be taking her message to Copenhagen.
"I would like to contribute to the discussions [in Copenhagen] so that leaders and scientists can come up with solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and work in the best interests of all nations while tackling the problem," she said. "People can start helping by reducing their use of private vehicles and using public transport and planting more trees. Local governments can start looking for different technology for renewable energy sources."
For someone introduced to climate change only a few months ago, she has a very solid grip on the key issues at stake.
"The richest nations should do everything they can to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and they should act not only for their own countries' interests because although poor countries contribute the least to climate change, we suffer the most."
When coming from someone so young and sincere and with so much to lose from the effects of climate change, it's very difficult not to agree.

MOUNTING PROBLEMS
Zanzibar's political crisis worsens as home-made bombs are found
Riot police take positions outside the electoral results center in Stone Town, Zanzibar.
By Omar Mohammed
November 1, 2015 This article is more than 2 years old.
The police have found two home-made explosive devices in Zanzibar over the last two days, adding to tensions in the semi-autonomous archipelago after officials annulled its elections, citing widespread fraud. Three suspects have reportedly been arrested.
No one was injured by the devices. Mkadam Khamis Mkadam, a Zanzibar police commander, confirmed to Reuters the discovery of the bombs and suggested that one of them was detonated by a mobile phone. "No one was killed or injured," he said.
Another device was reportedly found near the offices of the Civic United United (CUF), the main opposition party, a local newspaper reported. Contrary to Reuters, the paper reported that both devices were detonated by a bomb disposal unit that carried out controlled explosions.
Zanzibar, which is part of Tanzania but has its own elections and government, was plunged into a political crisis on Wednesday (Oct. 28) after the chairman of the Zanzibar Electoral Commission (ZEC) wrote off the election held last Sunday, saying that there had been "cheating" and "double voting" in some polling stations. "This election was unfair and did not adhere to the law and electoral process," Jecha Salim Jecha said in a statement. The chairman called for the exercise to be repeated in 90 days time.
But CUF has rejected the call, arguing that the process had been free and fair and that this was just a maneuver by the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party to cheat its way into power. CUF's Seif Sharif Hamad declared himself the victor on Monday. On Friday, he issued a three-day ultimatum for ZEC to complete the process of counting the votes and declaring the winner. "ZEC should continue proceeding with the releasing of the election results while working on the hitches," he said. Meanwhile, a CCM spokesman said that the party agreed with ZEC's decision. "There were lots of irregularities," he said.
Nevertheless, CUF's doubts were echoed by international observers who said the elections were credible, and urged ZEC to resume its work. "We call for this announcement to be recalled, and urge all parties to maintain a commitment to a transparent and peaceful democratic process," the US Embassy said in a statement. "We call on ZEC to resume the results tabulation process without delay," the British government added.
In the past, Zanzibar's elections have been marred by violence, and the two attempted bombings are a sign of how quickly that violence could erupt once again.
