Just ordered my WWW Tshirt!! I hope I'm the first one in Canada 🇨🇦 to show this off!! Ok, Ok, what's next?

I always thought that Toby's unfinished point/epiphany about the NEA/Arthur Miller was about him wanting to work for a president like FDR - fighting for better for the citizens during economic crisis and war. And maybe also Aaron highlighting a way in which Bartlet actually IS like FDR, having a severe illness that could be debilitating? Though, of course, FDR couldn't hide his paralysis from the voters, so the comparison doesn't necessarily work in Bartlet's favour.
I can't get enough of the West Wing show!
daniel urwand
I so completely love this show. I bought the DVDs years ago, and binge-watch it at least once a year. I'm also Canadian, and so I love it when they breakdown the details about how the US government works. I still don't understand all of it, despite Aaron's patient explanations throughout the shows life, but I enjoy it nonetheless. I have to say thank you for bringing this show back to life for me, there is no other show like this that I love as much!!
Phillip Harkin
I always wondered why Donna asked Ainsley if they looked alike. I always assumed the date Donna had somehow had something to do with her asking that question?

Jrishi took issue when Toby said we don't ask for a show of hands; laws don't work like that. I've always connected it to a few episodes earlier when Joey told Josh that numbers lie and that those numbers where telling him to dial it up because they needed to convince more people.
Twice CJ days something about going to the blackboard and raising your hand. In my day you had to raise your hand before going to the blackboard
Why does everything have a "reason why?" The "reason" and the "why" are the same thing. Just say "the reason."
I believe "what's doing" is east coast/possibly Italian.
Diane Thompson
This is/was an AMAZING podcast❤ So sad to see it go 😭 All the best to Hrishi and Joshua in their future endeavors (yes even Josh 😜)
Danielle K. Anderson
I know I'm super late, here; and I don't know if anyone has commented before, but I wanted to speak to Lionel Tribbey's pronunciation. Many native Washingtonians say, "UM-brella." I have found personally, that it's a particularly southern trait, and knowing that John Larroquette is from New Orleans, it could just be more natural for him.
Samantha Williams-Clark
Great job on The Cold episode!!! It was great!
I CANNOT WAIT for the next episode!!!! #TheCold
Great podcast...she IS delightful! was wondering why you did not ask about the running joke in the episode about her "sneaking up" on CJ...

I like your Podcast. Interestingly or not I did not see The West Wing until after Martin Sheen stopped by our little town of Crawfordsville Indiana. A waitress in a restaurant recognized him and asked if she could take his picture. He said no but I want my picture taken with you so they had someone else take the picture and the word got back to our newspaper. Now that's big news in Crawfordsville Indiana when the star of a major TV show stops by with his wife for lunch. So I approached the wartess and gat her story. the Sheens had l eft town By Our newspaper had the film developed and printed her story with the photo. I started watching the show and b~ought the whole Series on DVD. Kup up the good work. ( Writing this On my phone so please excuse the typos!)

In Memory of my Friend Syed Shahabuddin
Sunday 2 April 2017, by Muchkund Dubey
Syed Shahbuddin's demise on March 4, 2017 came as a great personal loss to me. My association with Shahab, as I affectionately called him, dates back to our year of matriculation from the Patna University in 1950. After that, he joined the Science College and myself the adjacent Patna College of the university. Both of us completed our post-graduate studies the same year in 1956, he with Physics and myself with Economics, from the Patna University. After taking our Master's degree, both of us joined the Indian Foreign Service. Shahab fell behind by a year because he could not take the competitive exam in 1956 as he was not qualified to do so on account of being only 20 years old.
Mainly because of our participation in the agitation against the Patna police firing on students in August 1955, when Dinanath Pandey, a student of the sister B.N. College, was killed, both of us faced difficulties in getting police clearance for entering into the Service. I got my name cleared after having a meeting with the then Home Minister, Pandit Gobind Ballav Pant, facilitated by Shri Anugrah Narain Singh, the then Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar. Shahab faced much greater difficulties in getting the clearance because apart from participation in the student agitation, false allegations relating to his links with the Communist Party of India and frequent visits to Pakistan, were entered in the police report. Shahab found his own way of getting the police clearance which came after a personal intervention by the then Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. The story going round those days was that Panditji recorded on Shahbuddin's file that his student day activities were not politically motivated but "merely an expression of youthful exuberance".
During our student life, we came really close to each other at the time of the Patna police firing. On the occasion of the supplementary exams in the university, a State Transport bus, which was carrying a few students to B.N. College for taking the exam, did not stop at the stand in front of the college and was driven direct to the last stop at the bus terminal. When the students in the bus protested against this, they were severely beaten up. Very soon the rumour spread like wildfire that one of the students had been beaten to death. This brought thousands of students in front of the B.N. College and they staged a mass agitation against the conduct of the bus driver. In an attempt to control the mob, the police resorted to firing killing the B.N. College student.
Shahab emerged as an undisputed leader of this agitation. Soon, was set up an Action Committee, of which I also was a member, and that gave a call for a judicial inquiry into the incident and obliged the State Government to set up a single-person Commission headed by a sitting judge of the Patna High Court, Justice Das. The Commission in its verdict pronounced that the police action "exceeded all the limits of justifiable firing". But the matter did not end there. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru paid a visit to Patna at the peak of the agitation and, when on the spot, fully supported the stand taken by the State Govern-ment. Jayaprakash Narayan described the stand taken by Pandit Nehru as "a command performance". Shahab and other leaders of the Action Committee took out a procession of 20,000 students from the university area to the airport to greet Jawaharlal Nehru with black flags and present their demands before him.
In the ensuing Assembly elections, the powerful Transport Minister of Bihar, Mahesh Prasad Singh, who was very close to the then Chief Minister, Shri Krishna Singh, and was groomed by the latter as his successor, was contesting from his home constituency of Muzaffarpur. As students regarded him culpable for the firing, they wanted to cross over to Muzaffarpur in large numbers and canvas against him and in favour of Mahamaya Prasad Singh, a socialist leader known for his honesty and integrity. A meeting was held in the lawns of the Science College to discuss whether the students should continue their agitation and extend it to the election campaign. I expressed the view that since the Judicial Inquiry Commission had given its verdict, the students should discontinue their movement and go back to their studies, but Shahab was in favour of continuing the agitation. With his powerful oratory in Urdu, he swayed the gathering towards his view. It was decided to continue the agitation. Patna University students in hundreds crossed over the Ganga to Muzaffarpur and campaigned against the Transport Minister. Eventually Mahamaya Prasad Singh was elected from the constituency.
The 1955 Patna firing incident can be regarded as a watershed in Bihar politics. It was perhaps for the first time that Bihar students defied Nehru's position by an overwhelming majority. This was also for the first time that the judiciary gave a clear-cut verdict against the government in the case of a police firing on students in independent India, resulting in the death of a student. It will not be an exaggeration to suggest that this agitation marked the beginning of a change from Congress-led governments towards the formation of governments led by non-Congress coalitions in North India.
Another interesting development in the university which brought both Shahab and myself to active student politics was our successful agitation for setting up a students union of the university and our election to the steering committee formed to draft the constitution of the union. Both of us were elected to the steering committee by a comfortable majority and were elected as Secretaries of the committee. I got elected from the platform of the Youth Socialist League, the student wing of the JP Socialist Party, and Shahab from the All India Students Federation, the student wing of the Communist Party of India. Shahab, according to his published account, never became a member of the Communist Party of India; he only used their platform to contest the election. This was not uncommon in those days because student wings of major political parties looked for bright students to lead them and made their platform available for that purpose. During the period before India's independence and several years after independence, most of the prominent student leaders were also very bright students.
The Indian Foreign Service is full of talents. Shahab was among the exceptionally talented of this lot. He was the topper in the matriculation examination at the Patna University in 1950 when it incorporated schools from the entire State of Bihar and Nepal. He was also the university topper in the Intermediate Science (IS) exam. It was in the thick of the students agitation in 1956 when he took his M.Sc Physics exam. In spite of this, he topped that examination with record marks in the university. The story goes that since because of his involvement in students politics, he was ignoring his physics practical work, his professor used to lock him from outside in the college science laboratory so that he could spend at least some time for the practicals. He passed his M.A. (First Part) Law exam with the first position in the university in the same year as he did his M.Sc. (Physics). Subsequently he took M.A. (Second Part) law exam and stood first in that also. He was extraordinarily gifted with skills in languages. He was a brilliant debater and public speaker in both English and Urdu and had superb drafting skills in these languages. He was deeply grounded in Islamic theology and was very widely read in Urdu poetry. In fact, he introduced me to some of the very talented Urdu poets from Bihar about whom I knew very little. He stood second in the entire country in the batch which passed the all India competitive exam in 1958, wherein he secured 350 out of 400 marks in the interview. He was, thus, one of the most talented Indians of that generation.
It was, therefore, not surprising that he was not satisfied with what he was doing in the Indian Foreign Service. He wanted to fly out to wider horizons and explore larger spaces for the deployment of his genius. It is this impulse that led him to politics, not the patronage or persuasion of a political leader of high stature nor out of frustration in the Foreign Service. I had seen his resignation letter from the Indian Foreign Service before it was widely circulated. One of the sentences in the letter read: "While I still have fire left in my soul and strength in my shoulders, I would like to do something for the country and its people which can be done best by joining the public life." Atal Behari Vajpayee, of course, helped him in his political career by persuading the Janata Dal leaders to nominate him against the Rajya Sabha post from Bihar that fell vacant a few months after his resignation. But there is no doubt that when Shahab left the Foreign Service, he had no offers in his pocket nor any promised for the near future. He was, therefore, obliged to enter the legal profession from the Patna High Court Bar, and here his degree in Law came in very handy. Within weeks, he established a practice which brought him enough remuneration to be able to lead his spartan life with his family in Patna.
I have reasons to believe that if before his resignation Shahab would have been offered a really important ambassadorial assignment which would have brought his full talent into play, such as the post of a Head of Mission in a neighbouring country, he might have decided to stay on in the Service. This, however, did not happen because our Service does not go strictly by merit in taking a decision on postings as Heads of Mission. Other factors such as seniority, the general perception about the officer's overall conduct, attitude, belief and temperament also comes into play.
Shahab built a solid reputation as a competent, hard working and talented officer during the 20 years of his tenure in the Indian Foreign Service. It was in recognition of this that when the government decided to open a new mission in Venezuela, Shahab was entrusted with this responsibility in the capacity of Charge d'Affaires, as he was still not senior enough at that time to become an ambassador. As our Charge d'Affaires in Venezuela, Shahab did a remarkable job in that country and adjoining countries of Latin America for garnering support in favour of the creation of Bangladesh. Thrice he got resolutions in support of the formation of Bangladesh passed by the Venezuelan Parliament. He got the support of the Catholic Church there for this cause. His work for the cause of Bangladesh was appreciated in writing by the Ministry of External Affairs. When he was leaving Venezuela in 1972, the only English newspaper there, The Daily Journal, wrote an editorial terming him as a "one-man General Staff for Bangladesh" and "Honorary Ambassador for Bangladesh".
The Bangladesh Government approached me informally when they were recently preparing a list of Indians to be honoured by them for their contribution to the liberation of Bangladesh. While recommending Shahab's name, vide my letter dated August 13, 2013, to the then Foreign Minister of Bangladesh, I profiled him as "one of the most prominent intellectual and political figures in the country and an outstanding voice of the Muslims in India". The Bangladesh Government accepted my recommendation and conferred the Scroll of Honour on Shahab. Unfortunately, his health did not permit him to travel to Dhaka to receive the Scroll which was delivered to him at his residence in Delhi.
Shahab was our Ambassador in Algiers where he served the nation's interest with great distinction. He joined the Ministry on his transfer from Algiers and in different positions he held there before his resignation, he left the imprint of his fairness, objectivity, independence of thinking and sheer brilliance.
I am not going to dwell at any length upon Shahab's political career. Most of it is well known and in the public domain. There is also a lot of controversy surrounding it. A number of questions have been raised. How did a firebrand Leftist decide to become the champion of religious orthodoxy? Why did Shahbuddin decide to concentrate on the welfare of the Muslim minority and not all the marginalised and disadvantaged sections of the Indian population? Could he not have served the Muslim cause better without identifying himself with what many regard as the obscurantist practices of Islam?
Many of us noticed a dramatic turn in Shahab's objectives and pursuits in life a few years after his election to the Lok Sabha from the Kishanganj constituency. It was then that he decided to devote most of his time to rendering political, legal and humanitarian services to the Muslim community of India. In the beginning, we thought that Shahab was doing it mainly in order to nurture his constituency which was dominated by Muslim voters. But soon it became apparent that this was out of a deep belief and firmly rooted conviction. Without altogether giving up his wider interests, he decided to serve the nation mainly through his work for the welfare and empowerment of the Muslim community. There was nothing wrong about it. This is what is normally expected from a Muslim leader. What Shahab did for the Muslim community compli-mented his nationalism rather than contradicting it. If Muslim leaders of Shahab's calibre and talent do not serve the Muslim community, who else will do it? There is ample evidence to show that Shahab was widely accepted as a natural leader of the community. Otherwise, a parachuter from the Indian Foreign Service would not have played the role that Shahab did in Muslim politics.
He was unanimously accepted as a leader in the All India Babri Masjid Action Committee, elected a Member of the Muslim Personal Law Board and served as the President of All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat. Muslims coming from different parts of India and residing in Delhi thronged in large numbers to his funeral and in the prayer meeting held in his honour thereafter.
Besides, the minority communities in India, particularly the Muslim community, have been neglected over such a long period and in such wanton and calculated ways that serving their cause as Shahab did is truly serving the nation. If even a handful of Hindu leaders would have devoted their life to serving the cause of the Muslims, India would not have come to the pass where it finds itself today and would in fact have been a different nation.
Did the Muslims really benefit from Shahab's leadership? I cannot think of any Muslim leader recently who has rendered as great and varied services to the Muslim community as Shahab has done. He took up almost all their causes from their share in the Indian economy to the extent of their political participation, from education and health to problems relating to Haj, and pursued them by marshalling solid facts and arguments and taking advantage of every platform and opportunity that was available to him. The most remarkable testimony of this was the extensively researched, well-documented and brilliantly written and compiled magazine, Muslim India, that he brought out. The collected volumes of this magazine will remain, for years to come, the most important source of research on issues surrounding the Muslim community. I remember an occasion when he told me that he would like to be remembered as the Editor of Muslim India rather than as an ex-diplomat or ex-MP.
It should not go unmentioned that in spite of his single-minded devotion to the cause of the Muslim community, Shahab throughout his life remained alert to and actively engaged in different national and international issues. There are very few in the Indian Foreign Service who have as deep and wide a knowledge of developments in world politics and world order issues as Shahab had.

Here's Every Black US Senator In American History

It may be hard for some folks to fully comprehend this, but in the entire 231 years that the U.S. Senate has existed, there have only been 10 senators who are Black. All but three of them were elected and just two of that already small number are women.
As of Tuesday morning, there were three sitting U.S. Senators who are Black.
It was already known since last month that figure was going to decrease by one when California Sen. Kamala Harris and her running mate Joe Biden won the presidential election, making her the first Black vice president in American history.
But it was not known who would fill her vacated Senate seat — until Tuesday afternoon when California Gov. Gavin Newsom appointed Alex Padilla, the California Secretary of State.
Before the announcement, Newsome had been facing pressure to name a Black woman to succeed Harris in the Senate. After all, there were already several Latino Senators. Without Harris, there was just one Black Senator who is a democrat and another who is a Republican. But no Black woman, a void that was glaring to critics of Newsom's decision. It seemed logical — especially during a calendar year marked by national protests that were part of a larger racial reckoning — that Newsom would not only select a Black person, but also a Black woman to fill the seat.
To be sure, the ensuing debate following Newsom's decision had everything to do with the absence of a Black woman in the U.S. Senate and nothing to do with the fact that Padilla would be the first Latino to represent California in the U.S. Senate. It had to do with the representation of Black people in the U.S. Senate, something that has historically been all but a novelty, even in the year 2020.
Only in recent years has the election of Black candidates to the U.S. Senate picked up steam.

It's been 150 years since the first Black person was elected to the U.S. Senate, with another following four years later in 1874.
But it would be more than 90 years later until the next Black man was elected to the U.S. Senate.
It would be another quarter of a century until the next Black person — the first Black woman — would win a Senate election.
A little more than a decade later, America got its next Black Senator — one who would notably go on to become the first Black person elected president of the United States.
That seemingly opened the relative floodgates to usher in a historic era that would include four more Black U.S. Senators, culminating with two of whom had legitimate runs for the White House.
With the next round of U.S. Senate elections already coming up soon in the 2022 mid-term elections, who will be next to join the exclusive club of Black Senators? The Rev. Raphael Warnock is currently engaged in a heated runoff election in Georgia that would make him the first Black Senator from the Peach State.
Ahead of that election, scroll down to better acquaint yourselves with every Black U.S. Senator in American history, in chronological order.
Here's Every Black US Senator In American History was originally published on newsone.com
1. Hiram Rhoades Revels

Hiram Rhoades Revels (1822-1901), an African American clergyman was the first Black person to be elected to the United States Senate. He was elected in 1870 in Mississippi after Reconstruction but only served two years.
2. Blanche K. Bruce
Blanche K. Bruce, who was the Accessor and Sheriff of Bolivar County, Mississippi, was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1874. He was the first African American to serve a full term in the Senate. He, like Revels, was elected by the state legislature.
"Bruce focused on a number of state and national issues including the construction of levees along the Mississippi River, the development of a more humane and equitable federal Indian policy and the desegregation of the United States Army," according to the Black Past website. "However one of his most memorable addresses in Congress occurred in March 1876 when he called for a Senate investigation of the racial and political violence that marked the Mississippi gubernatorial election of 1875."
3. Edward Brooke III
Former United States Senator from Massachusetts, Edward Brooke III (1919 – 2015) after conceding victory to the challenger, Paul Tsongas, 7th November 1978.
He was elected senator of Massachusetts as a Republican in 1966. He was the first Black senator elected since Reconstruction. He was also the first African American elected to the Senate by popular vote.
4. Carol Moseley Braun
Carol Moseley Braun, of Illinois, was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1992 and served a single term. She was the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Senate.
Pictured: U.S. Senator-elect Carol Moseley Braun declares her victory on Nov. 3, 1992, in Chicago. She called her campaign a step toward a new diversity in government.
5. Barack Obama
Barack Obama, of Illinois, was elected to the United States Senate in 2004, making him the fifth Black person to serve in the Senate.
Notably, he would go on to become the first Black president of the United States after serving only a portion of his first and only term in the U.S. Senate.
6. Roland Burris
In 2009, Senate Democrats grudgingly accepted embattled then-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's hand-selected Senate appointee, Roland Burris, as they sought to break an impasse over then-President-elect Barack Obama's former seat.
But the appointment was mired in controversy in a so-called "pay to play" scheme that resulted in an investigation into bribery in exchange for Obama's former Senate seat.
Burris was never punished, but Blagojevich was impeached, driven from office after he was accused of trying to sell the Senate seat and ultimately convicted and sentenced to prison.
He served in the Senate until late November 2010 when his successor was chosen in a special election.
7. Tim Scott
Tim Scott in 2013 became the first African American since Reconstruction to represent a southern state in the Senate. The Republican was appointed to the U.S. Senate during his first term as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. He was officially elected in a special election in 2014 and then re-elected to his current term in 2016.
Scott has emerged as a villain of sorts by consistently siding against the best interests of Black America, including most recently trying to convince voters that Donald Trump is not racist.

8. William "Mo" Cowan
William "Mo" Cowan was named interim U.S. Senator of Massachusetts on Jan. 30, 2013. Then a senior advisor to Gov. Deval Patrick, Cowan filled the position until a successor was named for departing Sen. John Kerry, who was named Secretary of State for Obama's presidential administration.
Cowan served for less than a year until July 15, 2013.
9. Cory Booker
Cory Booker became New Jersey's first Black U.S. Senator after winning a special election in 2013. He was elected to a full term in 2014 and re-elected to another this past November following an unsuccessful presidential campaign.
Pictured: Senate Judiciary Committee member Sen. Booker delivers remarks about Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh during a mark up hearing in the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C.., on Sept. 28, 2018.
10. Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris became the first Black person — man or woman — to serve as U.S. Senator for the state of California. She was elected in 2016. Her inaugural term was cut short after she was elected the first Black vice president of the United States as Joe Biden's running mate in 2020.

Silk Beauty Salon is a salon based in Fourways, and while many of our clients are from the Bryanston and Lonehill areas, many people across Gauteng travel to our establishment for eyelash extensions. Why? Because we provide the most comfortable and realistic eyelash extension treatments.

One of the benefits of eyelash extensions is that you can choose whether or not to wear mascara. While you can still apply all your normal eye makeup (including mascara) to your eyes, many people feel they no longer need to wear mascara thanks to the effect that eyelash extensions make to their appearance. No longer wearing mascara means you won't have smudgy, black rings around your eyes, which is a common effect of using mascara.

You can choose short extensions for a natural, fuller look, or you can choose extra length extensions for a high impact look.

Eagles v Bears Betting Preview, Odds & Tips | 06/01/19
Ben Rolfe (@benrolfe15) previews Philadelphia Eagles @ Chicago Bears and provides us with his best bets for Sunday's crunch NFC Wildcard weekend clash by analysing team news, potential line-ups, head-to-head, key stats and facts and more.
Philadelphia Eagles @ Chicago Bears Betting Preview, Odds & Tips
Venue: Soldier Field, Chicago
Channel: Sky Sports Action
This is going to be a fascinating game. The Eagles are one of the hottest teams in football and the Bears are one of the success stories of the season. Both teams have issues with certain elements and both have strong defensive lines.
The Bears defence has been the team's biggest plus point this season, ranking first in rush defence and top-10 in passing defence. Their offence has had trouble passing the ball, but they rank right around the top-10 in rushing offence. For a team which has such a dominant defence, they just need one part of their offence to really click and that is what they have done this season.
The Eagles have had a weird season, but they are rolling into these playoffs in form. Their defensive backfield situation is a mess, but their defensive line is rendering it a kind of moot point. The Eagles have got back to what made them successful last season on defence, and there is a chance it could carry them deep again. Another interesting wrinkle is that once again Nick Foles will lead the team in the playoffs. Foles has brought this offence to life over the last few weeks and now he faces his toughest test of all.
All three of the Bears receivers with injuries are likely to suit up this week, which will be important in this game. The biggest question mark surrounds Eddie Jackson, who suffered an ankle injury a few weeks back. Jackson has been a major weapon on this defence and his presence could be very important.
There are lots of question marks for the Eagles. Most importantly it appears Nick Foles will play. Michael Bennett is also likely to play, and defensive line depth will be key. There are still question marks over Fletcher Cox and his presence is huge in potentially stopping the run game. The availability of Jason Kelce and Jason Peters is also reportedly uncertain, and both are huge in terms of stopping the Bears defensive line.
The Bears lead the all-time series 29-12-1.
The Eales have won all of the last three meetings between the two teams, including the last game against the Bears in Soldier Field.
Over the last six games of the season the Eagles ranked fifth in passing yards per game, second in completion percentage and fourth in yards per attempt.
Nick Foles has an 8-1 record as the Eagles starter when taking over the team in December. Foles in the first quarterback to ever start a playoff game in back-to-back seasons, having started five or less regular season games.
Trubisky has the most improved passer rating among qualified starting quarterbacks. He also averaged 6.2 yards per carry, the third most among players with 50-plus carries.
Chicago Bears 39/100
I do not think there is a lot to bet on here. I expect this game to be reasonably close and therefore I am going to go with the Eagles +6.5. If the Bears get a lead early, then this might end up looking stupid. However, I think the Eagles offence can score enough points to keep this game close.
If you are looking for outside anytime touchdown bets, then Dallas Goedert at 8/1 is intriguing. Ertz is sure to draw a lot of coverage from the Bears defence and that could leave Goedert in space to make plays for this team and potentially find the end zone.
Philadelphia Eagles +6.5 – 22/23 (Redzone Sports)
Dallas Goedert anytime touchdown scorer – 8/1 (Bet365)

Once there was a real distinction in clothing between blue-collar workers and white-collar workers out of which the figurative sense of manual versus clerical staff evolved. Recently the term pink-collar worker has been invented to describe the female equivalent of the (assumed male) blue-collar worker, which is particularly applied to women who assemble electronic equipment and run back-office data-entry systems (the term may have originated in the title of a book by Louise Kapp Howe in 1977). More recent still are gold-collar workers, highly-skilled individuals who know a great deal about several areas of their company's work, are frequently crucial to its continuing profitability, and who — it is argued — must be managed by techniques that take their special qualities into account. The term was reportedly invented by Professor Robert E Kelley of Carnegie Mellon University, and forms the title of his 1985 book on managing this new type of employee. He also uses the term gold-collar manager for those who supervise them. Other terms which have been used are knowledge worker (itself at least 15 years old, though it hasn't yet reached most dictionaries), new economy worker, and professional eclectic.

Breland slows it down for new duet with Lady A, "Told You I Could Drink"
Breland shows off his slow jam chops with "Told You I Could Drink," a new collaboration with country trio Lady A.
Attended by the group's signature vocal harmonies, Breland captures the sting of a breakup in his heartache ballad, with lyrics that recount memories of turning to the bottle, first to toast a new relationship and then to mourn its loss.
"I told you I could drink / Told you I'd be fine / Told you I would move on if you left me behind," Breland sings in the chorus. "'Cause you pushed me to the brink / And I ain't got no time / To sit around and wait for you to make up your mind …"
"Told You I Could Drink" brings out some R&B elements — a relatively new turn for Breland, but one that's consistent with his commitment to genre-bending country music.
Fans already got to know his rafter-raising vocal runs and sing-a-long country chops on "Beers on Me," a collaboration with Dierks Bentley and Hardy, which was the up-and-comer's first #1 at country radio.
He also showed off his gospel leanings on "Praise the Lord," a duet with Thomas Rhett, and pop stylings with "Cross Country," released both as a solo version and as a duet with Mickey Guyton. Through it all, Breland is establishing himself as a lyrical master with a fresh spin on country songwriting. He'll paint a more complete picture of his artistic identity with the release of his full-length debut, Cross Country, due out in early September.

On The Internet, Nobody Knows You Are A Guy
From the Washington Post:
First, a fast-rising female esports star was threatened. Then she quit. Then she didn't exist.
By Noah Smith January 6
In December, a minor league esports team thought it had signed a fast-rising, highly ranked female player who played under the nickname of Ellie.
In case you are wondering, eSports is watching other people play video games as a spectator sport. Why you would want to is unexplained. And what exactly is the distinction between "minor league esports" and, presumably, major league esports is beyond me.
As the news of the signing reverberated around the Internet, Ellie shared screen captures of threats from online attackers and less than two weeks later, Overwatch Contenders team Second Wind tweeted that she left the team, "due to some unforeseen reactions." The circumstances only grew more mysterious from there.
After a few days of online rumbling on Reddit, what seemed like yet another case of toxicity and misogyny in gaming turned into something far stranger, and problematic. Ellie was revealed as a fraud, a fake account operated by a male player posing as a female.
"We found that 'Ellie' was a fabricated identity … created by a veteran player to obfuscate their identity," an Overwatch League spokesperson said.
The hoax reveals the unique challenges esports leagues and teams face as they try to move the sport towards mainstream respectability, as well as progress beyond the longstanding instances and accusations of sexism within the gaming community from both players and game-publishing companies.
In other words, guys are constantly inventing dubious new pastimes, such as professional spectator videogaming, then society gets concerned that not enough women are interested and/or good at it, so demand exceeds supply.

ENYP 'Hits the Road'
ENYP's work continues to expand across the county and beyond and reaches over 2250 children and young people through programmed activities.
Thanks to funding received from the Morrisons Foundation ENYP has been able to purchase a minibus to support the work of the Charity and to launch its new project 'Hit the Road'.
Adrian Horsley, Corporate Services Advisor from the Morrisons Foundation, shared "Morrisons Foundation was delighted to provide a donation of £10,000 to ENYP to help fund the purchase of a minibus. We hope our support will make a positive difference to people in need that use the fantastic services provided by the charity. We're very proud to support communities throughout the UK and welcome applications from charities like ENYP. If you'd like to know more about the work we do, please visit our website www.morrisonsplc.co.uk".
The minibus will enable ENYP to help transport young people to our clubs and activities, but will give us the opportunity to do more recreational trips for children and young people to help them broaden their horizons and visit different places. ENYP is launching a new project to help facilitate this called "Hit the Road", where children and young people will explore and visit different places in the county and beyond.
Many of the children and young people we work with have never accessed recreational opportunities outside of their own community area. We know that ENYP's work in their community has been important and valued, however we also want to give them other experiences which would not readily be available to them. Some have never been to the beach, visited the Norfolk Broads, or had the opportunity to visit local attractions, and this is something we would like to be able to offer to them.
Danny Doran-Smith, ENYP Director, said "For struggling families who have their own schedules to maintain, often juggling and struggling to provide transport for their children to attend our clubs can be stressful. We also know that families find it hard to travel to visit and explore different places, and that for many families we work with they have not visited attractions within the county. Our 'Hit the Road' project provides a great opportunity for them to broaden their horizons, explore new places and benefit from new experiences."
The minibus will also help provide transport for our 'Picnic project' which is a food distribution project (providing food to vulnerable families) and transporting people to our community outreach meals. Last year the Picnic project fed 8390 people.

European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, left, and European Council President Herman Van Rompuy participate in a media conference after an EU summit in Brussels (AP Photo/Virginia Mayo).
Late in November the European Commission's President, José Manuel Barroso, presented A blueprint for a deep and genuine economic and monetary union. The proposals for a renewed EMU — here meaning Economic and Monetary Union — barely attracted the attention of the media.
Perhaps the obsession over the fiscal cliff the U.S. is set to go over in January explains this oversight. Perhaps its sheer fatigue over the inability of EU heads of government, or their Finance ministers, to agree on the bare essentials that would ensure the long-term survival of the euro zone. Perhaps —now that the ECB has said it would buy up sovereign debt if the requesting member countries meet certain conditions under its Outright Monetary Transactions program — it's the looming German elections in 2013 that has frozen serious attempts at dealing with the underlying problems of the euro zone. More likely, the proposed EMU reforms landed with a thud last week because they repeat ideas that pundits and the public have heard before, and the current crop of politicians have dismissed as either pie in the sky suggestions or steps towards the loss of sovereignty that have simply gone too far.
Briefly, the "blueprint" seeks to provide a roadmap for reforms that range from the short-run (6 to 18 months) to the long-run (an unspecified number of years into the future) through a medium-run. There is precious little that is new or insightful in the document. In the short-run a single supervisor for the financial system is to be put into place, eventually followed by a banking union together with a euro wide deposit insurance system. As the deadline for an agreement on a banking union approaches there is even less agreement on the way forward than when the announcement was first made (see this FT article).
In the medium-term, the stated goals include the creation of a "proper fiscal authority" (an EMU Treasury) and the introduction of "Eurobills," that is, an attempt to issue common debt for the euro zone. In the longer-term the pooling of sovereignty is the objective with an attempt to put in place policies that would lead to a more complete convergence of euro zone economies. Most of these have already been flatly rejected by several member state governments.
The blueprint claims that much has been accomplished already (revised Stability and Growth pact, a desire for a banking union, the more aggressive intervention of the ECB, and the European Stability Mechanism). There is no acknowledgment that all of the policies proposed or enacted were a response to an unfolding crisis. In contrast, vision requires that the politicians lead the public toward some sought after objective. Not once is there recognition in the blueprint that euro zone labour markets are in dire straights, each month bringing record unemployment figures, or that financial markets remain unconvinced about the ability of the economies stuck in the sovereign debt spiral to extricate themselves out of their financial predicament. Each time markets are relieved because Finance Ministers have devised clever ways of putting off the inevitable, fresh doubts soon follow.
The blueprint devotes considerable attention to whether the proposed reforms require amendment of the Treaty that makes the structure currently in place possible (i.e., currently the Lisbon Treaty). This is understandable, although hardly inspirational, as several member states would be required to undergo a referendum before ratification of any new Treaty is possible. Nevertheless, it is striking, or galling depending on your point of view, that the EU Commission retains very much the top-down approach to governance that helps explains how the present state of EMU came to lose much of its legitimacy. There is seemingly little explicit concern that smaller or less influential states will lose their ability to affect continent-wide policies. And there is no recognition that the electorates in every member state must be persuaded that a "deep and genuine" union is in their interests and may serve as a bulwark against the great powers to the East (China) and West (USA). Instead, what is sought is a set of proposals that ensure that existing Treaties are tampered with as little as possible.
Whatever the flaws of EMU, those who created it had a vision and were able to persuade the public, in spite of setbacks, to promote the ideals of a European wide economic and political system despite the unknowns. Now we have a group of bureaucrats and politicians that continue to think that tinkering as much as possible without the direct support of the public at large will suffice. Things may be quiet for now but the current crisis is not over.


Although Pam Hogg had experimented with matte golds in her fantasy collection, this is the first I've seen of the golden hues, and yet the pieces on the catwalk for Emilio de la Morena were stunning, elegant and regal. Using black as his key collection colour, royal blues and cherry reds were injected into frills and skirts with the unique element being the gold, bronze and silver metallics within jackets and floor length dresses. Sweetheart, off the shoulder and rounded necklines accompanied mini, midi and maxi lengths with brocade mesh and lace details to the décolletage. And this is also the first time I noticed velvet used in a collection, and used very heavily. Mixed into garments alongside mesh, frills and metallics, in mosaic forms, some may say the collection was a little too busy. But there were a number of fantastic pieces in this collection and shapes that will certainly be a hit for Autumn.


I dispute the legitimacy of President Trump.
I just heard this from THOM HARTMAN on Progressive radio. He said he does question the legitimacy of President Trump, reminding us that Trump questioned, really disputed, the legitimacy of President Obama for almost eight years. How can we accept the legitimacy of a president who blatantly lied about so many things to win? The fact that he won enough Electoral College votes doesn't matter to me, because so many of those votes came from people who believed his lies.


Excitement may control your mind, but don't let it take over. Here are eight things to remember come opening day.
Get an edge over gobblers and other hunters by studying aerial photos. Hang a network of game cameras to pinpoint longbeards, reveal daily patterns, and determine specific roosting sites, strut zones, feeding areas and travel corridors.
Maps and cameras are not substitutes for walking and learning the hunting area first hand. Scouting can help you locate natural barriers and blow-down that typically cause gobblers to hang up just out of range. Knowing the land will generate more shot opportunities.
Stack the cards in your favor by patterning multiple longbeards. Another hunter may tag your gobbler before you get a chance so it pays to have more than one bird in your crosshairs.
Everyone has a favorite spot, but don't rely on that spot to produce. Give yourself options when all the turkeys go silent in your beloved location.
The right setup makes it easier to coax a hardheaded longbeard into range. Situate yourself in high traffic areas or where gobblers frequently visit. Locate hot spots and stay in the middle of the action.
Calling is important, but your setup and woodsmanship carries more weight. Moving silently, choosing a prime location, disappearing into your surroundings and diagnosing the mood of a gobbler all trump fancy calling.
Sweet talk a tom and customize your calling according to the circumstances. When turkeys are quiet, soft yelps, clucks, purrs and scratching the leaves with your hand can be deadly. But moving in close and doing some aggressive cutting and yelping can be just what the doctor ordered.
Using only one type of call can be a monumental mistake. Switch between a raspy friction call and a high-pitched diaphragm call to add flare. Some hunting scenarios may require you to combine two calls to replicate the sound of multiple hens.


The beauty of cumulus clouds is of no doubt. White and puffy, a gathering of gas that under the right conditions forms like a cotton ball. The right photographic condition for me was a stormy day and a drive to Malibu. I hadn't realized how dramatic the results until I started to edit these photographs. There are various names attached to clouds such as cumulus mediocris, cumulus congestus, and cumulus humlis. Upon learning of this, I also learned that the monographs of clouds that I shot actually have a name. Therefore I present cumulonimbus. Otherwise known as storm clouds.

London-area company becomes Canada's first to sell marijuana plants
Dale Carruthers

Melinda Rombouts figured if she could successfully ship young pot plants to the Yukon in the dead of winter, getting them to Canada's east coast alive would be easy.
Drawing on her background cultivating flowers, the founder of London-area licensed marijuana producer Eve & Co., has now made her company Canada's first to begin supplying the grow-your-own cannabis market.
It was no easy feat.
Kelsey Jobson, who at the Strathroy-based company deals with provincial pot rules, handled the test shipping runs, using not cannabis plants but citronella.
Those plants, familiar to home gardeners and selected for their similarity to pot plants in structure and hardiness, were sent to garden centres across the country last winter.
Each plant was packaged in an individual shipping container insulated with bubble wrap and equipped with an LED light to keep the plant in a vegetative state.
"In the dead of winter, we sent them to the Yukon to try to put them through the longest transit time . . . just to test the packaging," said Jobson.
Rombouts said the plants arrived after roughly three days in transit. One plant was lost in the process, but it was later found and even nursed back to health by garden centre staff, who briefed Eve's team on the condition of the citronella saplings.
"We wanted to know their professional opinion on the state of the plant, if there's any sign of freezing," Rombouts said.
This month, Eve began selling its clones – small cannabis plants grown from the cuttings of a mother plant – to customers in Newfoundland and Labrador, the first province to allow the sale of seeds and plants.
Melinda Rombouts, the founder and chief executive of Strathroy-based cannabis producer Natural MedCo., is one of the few female chief executives in the male-dominated marijuana industry. DALE CARRUTHERS / THE LONDON FREE PRESS
Residents in all other provinces, except Quebec and Manitoba, are allowed to grow marijuana plants at home, but the materials to do so aren't yet for sale through legal channels.
Newfoundland customers pay $39.99, plus $35 for shipping, to buy a six-inch clone that's between two and four weeks old. The clones, which Eve has in a variety of strains, include growing instructions. Buyers can also email questions to the Strathroy company's support staff.
"Basically, we pick our best plants, we take our cuttings off of them and we root them," Rombouts said, adding the clones need to be re-potted within the first week and will reach maturity in three to four months.
Growing a cannabis plant from a clone is easier than cultivating one from seeds, Rombouts said.
"The problem with cannabis seeds is they're notorious for having really low germination rates," she said. "With the clone, (buyers) get an established plant, so all they have to do is not kill it."
But Eve's clone-selling model won't work in Ontario, where residents will eventually be allowed to grow up to four pot plants at home, because of logistics, Rombouts said.
All cannabis products must first be shipped to the Toronto-area warehouses of the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS), the province's marijuana wholesaler, before they're sent to customers.
Deepak Anand of Cannabis Compliance Inc., a consulting firm, says selling seeds and clones has been put on the backburner by licensed producers as they focus on supplying enough dried marijuana for the recreational market.
Health Canada offers nursery licences, which allows holders to propagate, cultivate and harvest plants and seeds for other licence holders.
Located 35 kilometres west of London, Eve is expanding the greenhouse operation it shares with its subsidiary, Natural MedCo, a medicinal cannabis producer, to 92,900 square metres, making the company one of the Canada's 10 largest licensed producers.

To continue this exploration through the Black Panther mythos, we are going to revisit the wonderfully wild Jack Kirby series from 1977. I actually covered this one some time back, and, while many of my opinions remain unchanged, some of my views have altered with time.
The plot to this collection centers around Black Panther becoming mixed up in the affairs of a group of eccentric treasure hunters/collectors, namely the vicious Princess Zanda and Mr. Little, the latter of whom is indeed a little person. T'Challa and Little stumble across a time-traveling artifact called King Solomon's Frog. It's a small bejeweled brass frog that is also a time machine.
Zanda tries to kill Little and Black Panther for it, and the fight accidentally activates the Frog, bringing forth the Six Million Year Man, a human from the future with power and intellect evolved far beyond what is possible for a person now. After he slays many of Zanda's men, they Panther and Little manage to incapacitate the Six Million Year Man, and they know they must send him back. However, they need the other Frog of King Solomon to do that. There's more than one. They don't have the technology after all.
The trio take the sedated future man to the temple of King of Solomon to find the legendary other Frog, and, after many deadly trials, they find it and send the Six Million Year Man back home.
A guardian of the temple attacks T'Challa and the treasure hunters, and the structure begins to collapse. They manage to escape, but the collector compatriots of Zanda capture Black Panther and Little.
Threatening to actually nuke Wakanda, Zanda and the collectors coerce T'Challa to find the sacred water of a secret civilization of samurai, which apparently holds the key to immortality.
After fighting a yeti and a guardian samurai, T'Challa and Little find the legendary civilization. The defeated guardian samurai wants the Panther to kill him to alleviate his shame, but, of course, the Black Panther is unwilling to follow through with this. While he tries to sort this issue out with the rulers of the hidden city of samurai, Little steals some of the water. This bungles things further, and the Panther manages to negotiate the return of the water to save their own lives.
The two return to the collectors. T'Challa calls Zanda's bluff, citing the dire consequences that she would face from the governments the world over. Little reveals that he had a smaller container full of the sacred water on his person. The collectors break into a brawl for the water, and its vial is broken. After this, T'Challa leaves for his home country.
There is a budding plot about a coup by a Wakandan general named Jakarra. This general exposes himself to raw vibranium, which causes him to seemingly disappear. In the growing crisis, a young royal named Joshua Itobo takes control of Wakanda while T'Challa is still out. This plot is not resolved in this collection, though.
Kirby's Black Panther really is quite unlike any other take of T'Challa or comic in general I've ever read. The out-there and otherworldly plot elements mixed with T'Challa's up-for-anything attitude toward it all create a surreal superhero experience.
It surely took a lot from the adventure and exploration fiction from years before. The venues, plot points and progression, and themes aren't unlike what Raiders of the Lost Ark would bring the to table only a few years later.
The visuals are astonishing. There are many talented artists in the comic scene that have tried to capture the spirit of Jack Kirby's art. While many of these artists have become fantastic artists in their own right, like John Romita Jr., the team of Didio and Giffen, and Mike Allred, no one is quite like Jack Kirby. That's a good thing by the way, because art is about what one can make, not what they can perfectly remake (the current state of Hollywood perfectly encapsulates the problem with constant remakes).
The various monsters and robots that Black Panther fights in this book are unlike anything I've ever seen before. The guardians of the temple of King Solomon, the Six Million Year Man, the Yeti, hell, even the monster that we see the Six Million Year Man fighting in his own timeline are instantly memorable. This is all helped by the vibrant and popping colorists who worked on this book, Dave Hunt, Petra Goldberg, Irene Vartanoff, and Sam Kato.
The pacing is pleasingly brisk. The tendency towards over-explanation and winding dialogue is easily the biggest thrill-killer of Golden and Silver Age comics. Kirby manages to sidestep this by giving us more visual information than textual. He still falls into the over-narration trap at times, but he does it far less than other celebrated writers from the era.
The action sequences are quite cool. There's a fair amount of futuristic laser bolts, martial arts, and things getting blown up or crushed by giant creatures.
If I were to come with some criticisms, which almost feels blasphemous, there are a couple that come to mind.
Black Panther himself almost feels like a vehicle for the story more than a character. He has a couple of moments of personality, but he almost seems to be an analogue for the audience that also manages to resolve the conflict.
Also, the "nuking Wakanda" threat by Princess Zanda kind of gets shrugged off and not resolved in a satisfying fashion.
Neither of these two problems are deal breakers, and the ride is so fun and strange enough that you're not likely to be too bothered by them.
This comic is easily recommendable. It's a classic. The art and colors are unlike anything you'll ever see. Jack Kirby is the King for a reason, and comics like this are the reason why.
The trade that I read was released in 2005. It may be a little hard to find now. I found a more recent reprint that has the same issues for over twice the price. I say track it down if you can find on sale, or, if you can find the original cheaper printing from 2005, all the better. It's well worth your time, especially if you want to explore the history of the King of Wakanda or the King of Comics.

The aim is to rotate the wheel located at the center of a circle, and try to group together the colorful rings as they appear, based on their color. If you join 3 or more similar colored rings then they'll disappear. Avoid piling them up or you'll lose the game, if they touch the outer circle. Have Fun!

There was no outlook written for Dwayne Haskins in 2018. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
Haskins announced via his Twitter account that he is entering the 2019 NFL Draft.
The 2019 class now has its true No. 1 quarterback with Haskins' decision to declare following his redshirt sophomore season. He enjoyed a record-setting season as Ohio State's starter in 2018 with a completion percentage of 70.0 to go with 50 passing touchdowns and 4,831 yards. Unlike many past Ohio State signal-callers, he is a true pro-style quarterback who can make all the throws and can process information quickly. Haskins (6-foot-3, 220) also has the size and arm strength to project well at the next level. The knocks on Haskins could be lack of track record (14 starts) and some shakiness that occurs when the play breaks down and pressure bears down on him. Because it's such a thin quarterback class and because Haskins is so far above the rest as of right now, he will be the most scrutinized player in the upcoming draft. Still, Haskins has tools and talent that are worth betting on, and he's still scratching the surface of his immense potential.
How do Dwayne Haskins' measurables compare to other quarterbacks?
