'Metal Lords' Review: A Coming of Age Story that Almost Hits the Right Note
Netflix's Metal Lords is many things. It's a high school coming of age story, a musical education, and an exploration of the cringiest moments in a person's life. Not everything about it worked, but this movie is ultimately a charming story of coming into one's own and the search for acceptance. At its core, this movie also has a powerful message about bullying in the teenage years and the many ways in which this is manifested.
There's a unique cringe factor that high school 'band kids' will recognize instantly in this movie. Jaeden Martell and Adrian Greensmith ultimately capture this so well, as Kevin and Hunter respectively. Every time they speak on-screen, it gets more awkward. And yet this works to near perfection. So much of this movie is so viscerally uncomfortable to watch and yet so relatable and endearing at the same time.
While so much of the dialogue is stilted, and the voiceover is awkward, it's completely understandable in the context of the story. Who among us didn't have a cringe inner monologue narrating each and every thought during the high school years? Then again, maybe that was just me. In any case, among the most endearing aspects of the movie was how true to life it captured the teenage years. In contrast to other teen-related pop culture entities, Metal Lords is intensely committed to dialing the awkwardness up to the maximum.

So much of this movie did an amazing job at capturing the cruelty teenagers inflict on each other every day in overt and covert ways. Did people get beat up as teenagers? Sure. But probably a far more common experience is that of experiencing constant rejection and ostracization. Rejection by those who are supposed to be our friends is an experience that just hits different, and this movie captures this terrible feeling so well.
Living up to its name Metal Lords attempted to answer the question, what is metal anyway? The ultimate conclusion, while perhaps simple, is an effective one. Is it simply disobeying rules for its own sake? On a slightly deeper level, the movie concludes that metal is truth to power, and sticking it to the man. For those uninitiated into the world of metal, there is a great starter playlist including Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, and Guns. All music is a powerful opportunity to explore art in a deeper way and Metal Lords definitely made a valiant effort to take this chance.
Although the movie was a poignant look at the journey of friendship, the one character who was so often wasted was Emily (Isis Hainsworth). While this movie absolutely could have taken a more incel route, it missed the opportunity to elevate the sole female character. She was so compelling and had such incredible potential. It was such a shame that viewers didn't get a chance to get closer to her to better understand her journey.
While imperfect, and certainly not in the top tier of coming-of-age teen music movies, Metal Lords was enjoyable enough to make it worth the watch. The combination of excellent performances combined with a sweet story made it worthwhile overall. All of the actors involved are clearly just getting started, and we can certainly expect great things from them in the future.
Metal Lords is available to stream on Netflix.

Houston Bike Share is replacing cars with free bikes after Harvey: already secured 400 bike donations from two major manufacturers

As Houston rebuilds after Hurricane Harvey, which claimed 82 lives and damaged or destroyed over 100,000 homes, one organization has risen to address another devastation: the up to a million cars wrecked during the storm. Although driving is the default mode of transportation around town, Houston Bike Share—the non-profit that runs the city's BCycle bike share program—believes bikes can help fill in the gap in the immediate aftermath of the storm, if not become a more popular way to get around in the long run.
To this end, the organization is running a program called "Keep Houston Rolling" to collect bike donations and distribute them to community members in need. It's accepting bikes of all types, sizes, and conditions, as well as unused helmets, bike lights, and bike locks. Bike manufacturers Giant and Trek have already committed to sending 400 bikes for the cause.
"I think after the initial shock wears off, there are going to be a lot of people who have been relocated, who lost a vehicle and can't afford a new one, who work by the hour or need to get around and aren't going to be able to," Carter Stern, executive director of Houston Bike Share, tells Fast Company.
Stern also hopes that these donated bikes can warm more Houstonians up to the idea of bikes as a viable transit option.
"I think viewing the mobility in a city less as a binary decision and more as giving people a healthy ecosystem of options–whether they want to ride their bike to work, ride their bike to the transit stop, drive their car and then ride their bike to lunch–whatever it is, giving people options," he says.

Hey everyone! First, i'd like to apologize for my absence for like a month?
I told you I hate excuses so I don't like making one too. I can be so cruel to myself. But I guess I owe you guys an explanation? (Hehehe) So, here let me try making a creative excuse: You know I've started studying more about fashion coz I want to be part of the industry (professionally) and I've been juggling my time between my full time job, part time job; researching, styling and doing photo shoot plus photo editing for my assignments, and hey my graphic design class have just started too. In short, my blogging life have to sacrifice a little, but will try my best to catch up.
Moving on, I want to share here my hiking trip to Mt. Maculot with my parents, titos and tita last February. How fun was that? Well, I wasn't the youngest in the group to start with; there's only a little age difference between me, my titos, and tita; and my parents are just in their 40s. It's very unusual though that I do this kind of trip with my parents. I'd say it was fun-ny (pun intended) in its own special way. What makes it more unbelievable is it was my mom who initiated this hiking trip. But that was cool, right?
It was 9:00 am when we started trekking. It was raining intermittently too. The way up the mountain was steep and muddy and slippery making our climb more challenging especially for non pros like us. Along the way we encountered people going up and down the mountain. We've exchanged hellos, take care and wishes of luck it was amusing because people don't do such in a normal setting.
The owner of this bath place is my distant grandfather!
On the way up we found resting stations selling fresh coconut juice and light snacks so we had a lot of stop overs (Hello, newbies). Halo-halo anyone?
It was already 11:30 when we reached the campsite so we head right away to climb the Rockies.
This is butchi ng batangas by the way. My favorite local food in Batangas.
From this view, I thought it would be impossible to climb those rocks, but then again the adrenaline rush spiked telling me I have to do it.
So I did! It was 12:15 P.M. too bad I couldn't get a decent photo of me. It was so windy up there I felt like the wind could fly me any moment. But the view was so darn beautiful! We had a good view of Taal volcano up there.
The rain had stopped leaving a muddy trail. We reached the summit at around 3 in the afternoon giving everyone a rewarding feeling. It's as if we won first place in a marathon.
Climbing down the summit was twice harder because we have to do a lot of rappelling with no harness. We had to be very careful otherwise we might end up with broken bones or it could just be the first and last mountain for us.
Hiking may be a very tiring activity as it requires great physical and mental strength. During the ascent someone could ask why are we doing this? The other could curse the person who invited him/her. Then probably you could hear someone promising that he/she will never hike again, ever. The funny thing is, when you reach the highest parts of the mountain (Rockies – Summit – Grotto) and see the beautiful view from the top it gives you a rewarding feeling. It rejuvenates the once depleted energy and makes you want to take back everything negative you have just said on your way up because the truth is you want to do it over and over again. It is addictive.
I envy you now, Chia. After reading the story, you made me wish I had done one of my climbs with my parents. Your mother is so beautiful and tough. I would not question where you got that "travel courage" you have.
Being a mountain climber once, I absolutely feel your message in this post and, for lack of a better term, pity those people who cannot seem to comprehend why we do it amid the life-threatening hindrances along the way. This endeavor/adventure is life-changing experience. It teaches us how important it is to work hard to get something that we want. The summit stands a metaphor for the success. Every step, every cut, every mosquito bite, every inquietude along the way turns delicious once you get to reap the reward. A view that only the few brave can see. Soon, you become not bothered about having to eat the discomforts that mountain climbing offers but dithyrambic.
I am taking my hats off to you, your uncles,parents (especially your mom), and aunt. Kudos!
From the person who has climbed so many mountains that I couldn't even think I could, that is so flattering. Thank you Sony. I just realized now that we didn't had our lunch, we only had light snacks. Hehehe Knowing my Mom she's a homebody so this was something new. I think she got this desire for adventure from us (her kids). Growing up we barely go out and play with other kids. Because we are young adults now we can't stop but to love and enjoy the outdoors that we didn't get to enjoy before. Hahaha My mom is learning from us I think. A week after the hike she told me she wants to do scuba diving next. And I was like… WHAT?! Hahaha Looks like I'm going to have more adventures with my parents now. If that happens I might consider renaming my blog. Lols!
Huwow ikaw na ang kuracha. Fashion designer / graphic designer / kung ano ano pa hehehe….
Hahahaha…oh masaya yung scuba diving 😀 wag lang pag may aali aligid na pating hahaha….isipin mo na lang masarap sila iulam (yung mga isda) para di ka matakot hahaha….
Truth! Masarap si uulam paborito ko kaya yang mga lamang dagat na yan. Kaso baka ako naman ang kainin nila next. Dahil siguro to sa kakapanuod ko ng piranha movies ee.. (nakakapraning) Fish feeding pa more.
Haha sabi lang nya, ayoko kasi nag kakakain kpag may mabait na nagsabing tumataba ako.
Totoo. 😀 nag-suffer ka ba ng sore legs? Ako oo pero trip ko parin ulitin. Haha. Ang group namin ang daming naka line up na hikes pero panira yung new work ko. Kaloka talaga. Usually daw nag-oOT kung Sabado.
Oo mga 3 days ako na hirap mag lakad. Hahaha! I timing mo nlng na walang OT pr mag leave ka.
I'll attend. I received 3 free tickets from them. Hehe. It will be on April 16th.
congrats Chia i am one your followers of your blog, thanks for sharing your adventure, at pag nakita ko mga post mo parang napuntahan ko rin ung mga place na un.

The Diamond Fund in Moscow Kremlin
The visit to the Kremlin will not be complete without going inside one of the most prized museums in Russia – the Diamond Fund.
The Diamond Fund is a unique collection that includes masterpieces of jewelry, rare gems, insignia, gold and platinum nuggets and remains one of the few treasuries in the world that houses the Crown jewels. The Diamond Fund was established by a Decree of Peter the Great back in 1719 and was originally located in Winter Palace in St.Petersburg. Although Peter the Great is the founder it was Catherine the Great that contributed the most to the museums collection.
There is some controversy and speculation on what happened to the collection during the 1917 Russian Revolution but the Diamond Fund was finally opened to the public for the first time in 1967 - almost 250 years after its establishment. The Diamond Fund originally was a short term show but after its enormous success it became a permanent exhibition in 1968.
During the visit to the Diamond Fund you will be able to see historical gems such as the Orlov Diamond and the Shah Diamond. View the Daffodil Bouquet and The Blue Fountain Jewelry and gaze at the Imperial Crown of Russia made for Catherine the Great.The visit to the Diamond Fund is part of our Kremlin including the Armory and Diamond Fund Private Tour.
During the tour you will be able to go inside the Diamond Fund and explore the collection with an audio guide as live tour guides are prohibited in the collection.


I am the senior developer/technical lead in a small team working with a rather particular framework. The other members of my team are junior developers who cannot make the transition from junior to senior yet. I will be leaving the company in a few weeks and despite the company's best efforts we were unable to recruit a senior developer to take up my position. We appear to be somewhat successful to attract mid-level candidates. Should I disclose to those candidates that I will be leaving and they will be expected to progress in their new role without mentoring or not? (Without wanting to sound cocky) I am an expert in this particular framework and it is likely some candidates are attracted to the possibility of working with me.
That decision is primarily your manager's. Feel free to discuss your concerns with your manager. They might decide that it's indeed better to inform the candidates, or at least start dropping hints like "self-learning ability" (it's a generic buzzword in theory, but if you emphasise on this enough, some candidates will read between the lines and take the hint). But in any case, you're leaving soon, and whoever stays with the company will be your manager's responsibility, not yours.
I'd be open, at least at some stage of the process.
If I understand this correctly you are interviewing for your replacement as the tech leader. I think it pays to be clear about such things during the interview, at least at the later stages, and how can you describe the role they are expected to fill without mentioning that you will not be there?
Should I disclose my salary history to recruiters/potential employers?
Should I tell my boss if he asks that I will go to another company interview?
Post-Interview - Should I follow up with interviewer and recruiter?
When interviewer asks interviewee if he has any questions, is it preferred that interviewee only ask "deal breaker" questions?
Should I tell the interviewee I'll be leaving the company?

We deal with Dirac operators with external homogeneous magnetic fields. Hardy-type inequalities related to these operators are investigated: for a suitable class of transversal magnetic fields, we prove a Hardy inequality with the same best constant as in the free case. This leaves naturally open an interesting question whether there exist magnetic fields for which a Hardy inequality with a better constant than the usual one, in connection with the well known diamagnetic phenomenon arising in non-relativistic models.

In 1924 the little central Pennsylvania town of Lilly, near Altoona, was targeted for a massive Ku Klux Klan demonstration because local coal mines hired Catholic immigrants and fired Klan members.
The residents of Lilly engaged the Klan forcing the Klansmen to flee in disarray, but not before mortally wounding three Lilly residents.
Lilly's resistance to the Klan's demonstration proved to be the beginning of the end of the Klan's advance in the Northeastern United States.


In appearance, a body louse is nearly identical to a head louse. Body lice are between one to three millimeters long (roughly the size of a sesame seed) and light gray in color. After feeding, they become darker and can take on a reddish tint. Females are larger than males. The insects are flat and are made up of three fused but visibly separate parts, a head, thorax, and abdomen. After feeding, they excrete a small dark red dirt-like spot known as frass.
Body lice live and lay eggs in the seams and folds of clothing or bedding and generally only move to the skin in order to feed. They feed close to the clothing they inhabit and, as such, itching and bites are generally experience where clothing is tighter or closer to the skin such as waistlines, around bra straps, and so forth. Body lice must be around the heat of the human body in order to survive. After being removed from the presence of a human host, a body louse will die in a matter of days.
Infestations of body lice are easily treated and avoidable through basic hygiene and, for this reason, are relatively rare in developed countries. Infestations are most often seen in populations without access to regular bathing or changes in clothing such as homeless people and refugees. Body lice are contagious and are passed from person to person by direct contact or by sharing of clothing or bedding with an infested person. Body lice feed only on humans and, as such, cannot be transmitted by animals.
Body Lice treatment is extremely simple given the right conditions. Infestation is fully and easily treatable by maintaining relatively minimalistic standards of hygiene. If you have identified an infestation, destroy or carefully wash all clothing and bedding you have used in the past week. Items that are not discarded should be washed and dried on the hottest possible cycles (at least 130° Fahrenheit). Body Lice in infested clothing that is removed and not worn for at least a week will die as well.
A doctor may prescribe a pediculicide (lice insecticide) in the form of a cream to wash the body with, however, this is most likely not necessary. Bathing daily and changing and laundering clothes on at least a weekly basis is enough to clear infestations completely.

Indian football team head coach Stephen Constantine stepped down after the team's shock 0-1 defeat to Bahrain which led to its exit from the showpiece Asian Cup.
The All India Football Federation, in its official twitter handle, said that the 56-year-old Constantine has resigned.
"Mr. @StephenConstan has announced his resignation as the Head Coach of the Indian National Team. We haven't received any official communication from him yet but we accept his decision & thank him for his contribution to #Indianfootball: Mr. Kushal Das, General Secretary, AIFF," the tweet said.
His contract was to end on January 31.

Constantine's resignation came after India crashed out of the showpiece Asian Cup under dramatic circumstances here Monday.
India were on the verge of booking its maiden knock-out round berth as the final Group A match was 0-0 till the 90th minute when Bahrain earned a penalty which the West Asian team converted to win the game under dramatic circumstances.
India needed just a draw to qualify for the Round of 16 but the defeat meant that it finished at the bottom of the four-team Group A to crash out of the tournament.
The Anglo-Cypriot coach took over the reigns of the team in 2015 for an initial two-year tenure. He was given one-year contract extension twice.
It was his second stint as India coach after serving as coach in 2002-05.

Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev was bornon July 07, 1947 in Narayanhity Royal Palace, Kathmandu, Nepal, Nepalese, is Former King of Nepal. Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev was the king of Nepal from 2001 to 2008. He became the 12th king of Nepal after his elder brother King Birendra was assassinated in a shooting incident that killed most of his family members. Gyanendra was absent when the incident occurred at a dinner party held at the 'Narayanhiti Royal Palace' in Kathmandu. The eldest son of King Birendra Crown Prince Dipendra is said to have carried out the massacre and got grievously injured in the massacre which took place on June 1, 2001. Gyanendra became the King of Nepal after crown Prince Dipendra, died a few days later of gunshot wounds. Gyanedra's rule was marked by a civil war which erupted between the government and Maoist guerilla forces led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal or Prachanda and Baburam Bhattarai The civil war lasted from 1996 to 2006. During this time he dissolved the parliament and took over the reins of the government into his own hands. After the cessation of hostilities he was forced to hold elections which were won by an alliance of seven political parties. He had to relinquish power when the parliament (comprising of the seven party alliance) abolished the monarchy and transformed it into a democratic republic.
In November 1950, during a political plot, both his father and his grandfather King Tribhuvan, along with other royals, fled to India, leaving the young Prince Gyanendra as the only male member of the royal family in Nepal. He was brought back to the capital Kathmandu by the Prime Minister Mohan Shamsher, who had him declared King on 7 November 1950. Not only was Gyanendra crowned, but coins were issued in his name. The Rana Prime Minister provided a 300,000 rupee annual budget as expenditure for the King. After opposition to the hereditary rule of the Rana Prime Ministers from India, a deal was reached in January 1951, and Gyanendra's grandfather King Tribhuvan returned to Nepal and resumed the throne. The actions of the Rana regime to depose his grandfather and place Gyanendra on the throne were internationally recognized.
Gyanendra studied with his elder brother King Birendra at St. Joseph's School, Darjeeling, India; in 1969, he graduated from Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu.
Gyanendra served as the chairman of the Advisory Committee for the Coronation of his brother King Birendra in 1975. He is a keen Conservationist and served as Chairman of the King Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation (later known as National Trust for Nature Conservation) from 1982 until his accession to the throne in 2001.
The events surrounding the Massacre on 1 June 2001 proved very controversial in the country. A two-man investigation team appointed by Gyanendra, and made up of Keshav Prasad Upadhaya, then Supreme Court Chief Justice, and Taranath Ranabhat, then Speaker of the House of Representatives, carried out a week-long investigation. After interviewing more than 100 people—including eyewitnesses, palace officials, guards, and staff—they concluded that Crown Prince Dipendra had indeed carried out the massacre, but they drew no further conclusions. As his nephew lay in a coma, Prince Gyanendra was named regent; but after King Dipendra's death on 4 June 2001, King Gyanendra ascended the throne.
When Gyanendra took complete control for the second time, on 1 February 2005, he dismissed Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba's government for failing to make arrangements for parliamentary elections and being unable to restore peace in the country, which was then in the midst of a civil war led by Maoist insurgents.
The agreement between the parties and Gyanendra under Indian supervision was not honored by the parties. It is widely believed that Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala was deeply convinced that as long as King Gyanendra remained in the power structure, there was always danger to the democratic order in Nepal. On 10 June 2006, the Parliament scrapped the major powers of the King, including his right to veto laws. This ended the idea of a "King in Parliament", and he was reduced to a figurehead, though for a time he continued to offer felicitations and to receive diplomats. According to Article 167 of the constitution, all executive powers as well as those enjoyed by the King in the previous Constitution were now vested in the prime minister. All powers of the 239-year-old monarchy were stripped, making Gyanendra a civilian king.
On 15 January 2007 the interim parliament was set up with CPN-M included, and on 1 April 2007, the interim government joined by CPN-M was formed. On 28 December 2007, the Nepali interim parliament approved a bill for the amendment to the constitution of 1990 promulgated on 15 January 2007, with a clause stating that Nepal would become a federal democratic republic, to be implemented by the first meeting of the Constituent Assembly elections.
Gyanendra had broken his closely guarded silence in an interview with a Nepali weekly paper in which he said he remained silent to "let the peace process succeed". On 7 February 2008 the BBC reported Gyanendra as saying to Japanese journalists: "The Nepali people themselves should speak out on where the nation is heading, on the direction it is taking and on why it is becoming chaotic [...]." He claimed that his attempt on 1 February 2005 was for a good purpose—restoring peace and stability in the country. He said that his attempt was not a success and so the countrymen are suffering at present.
Soon after news emerged of a ten-day personal visit to Parbat district in 2012, ten political parties of the district organized a corner assembly at Shibalaya Chowk of Kusmabazaar, and decided to protest against Gyanendra's visit. Leaders speaking at the corner assembly called on Gyanendra to stop his visit and also warned that they would obstruct his tour forcibly if he started it. Nevertheless, Gyanendra left for Pokhara. There was no protest on the first day. He walked in the rain through the general public for more than one kilometre. However, the scheduled visit of Gyanendra to Myagdi was cancelled following opposition from different political parties. He had planned to worship at various holy shrines in the district. This action of political parties and the Maoist government in obstructing Gyanendra's visit attracted worldwide criticism from democratic corners.


Considering both the premise of the series and its ongoing popularity, it's really no wonder that CBS' sitcom staple The Big Bang Theory has played host to quite a few notable names from the world of geekdom over its soon-to-be 10-season run. The latest pop-culture legend to find his way to the Big Bang set is Adam West, best known for his iconic portrayal of Batman in the infamously campy 1960s TV series and its theatrical spinoff movie.
West will be appearing as himself in The Big Bang Theory's 200th episode, a huge milestone for any series to reach, especially one that is still regularly the highest-rated comedy on broadcast TV. Details about the episode's title or actual plot are still being kept under wraps for now, but the show will air on Thursday, February 25.
Joining West will be past Big Bang guest stars John Ross Bowie, Christine Baranski, Sara Gilbert, and Wil Wheaton. Those actors portray the gang's rival university professor Barry Kripke, Leonard's far-too-blunt mom, Leonard's ex Leslie Winkle, and an exaggerated version of himself, respectively. Considering the magnitude of the occasion, it really wouldn't be too surprising for some surprise guests to pop up as well. Unfortunately for Bat-fans, West's co-star Burt Ward is not scheduled to be a part of the festivities.
Now that Adam West is confirmed as a guest star, one wonders what exactly he'll be doing. It's been made clear in the past that the four male main characters are big Batman fans, and once mistook a passerby for West in a previous episode. It's hard to imagine that Big Bang's writers will miss the opportunity for dozens of Caped Crusader related puns. Maybe the gang will somehow get their hands on an old-school Batmobile? The creative possibilities for West are wide open at this point.
When you consider that such geek luminaries as Firefly's Summer Glau, comic book god Stan Lee, and Star Trek's George Takei and Leonard Nimoy have all dropped in for guest roles on Big Bang, it's actually kind of odd that such a seemingly obvious choice as Adam West hasn't already graced the series with his presence before such a late season. Still, better late than never. Here's hoping his appearance lives up to expectations, helping The Big Bang Theory's 200th episode to reach Batman-worthy levels of hilarity.
The Big Bang Theory season 9 airs Thursdays at 8pm on CBS.

 LoginManager.Instance.LogInWithReadPermissions(this,new List<string>{"public_profile","user_friends","email","user_birthday"});

This is how I fetch the email Id and BirthDate:
emailId  = e.mProfile.GetType ().GetProperty ("email").ToString ();
BirthDate = e.mProfile.GetType ().GetProperty ("user_birthday").ToString ();

A: If you are using xamarin's official facebook sdk. You can do this:

*

*When creating loginButton, set permissions to read email and public profile
facebookLoginButton.SetReadPermissions("public_profile", "email");
Then simply use graphAPI to access name, ID, email and other public profile stuff.

Keep moving. Life is all about taking the next step, and then the next and the next. Even if you have no clue what your destiny is, what you should do with your life, you can always take a next step.
In the past I used to go up to Italy many times a year to take care of my mother in law. We had a very special bond and I always felt very connected to her. She passed away a few years ago, but I will always carry her in my heart and treasure the sweet memories with her.
As she faced many health problems, she needed people to take care of her, cook for her, bathe her and clean her apartment. But most of all she needed a companion to lift up her spirits and do fun things. At least that's what I thought. Because sitting around at home watching television all day is not uplifting for anyone. And if you feel bad, your health will reflect that as well and a vicious circle is just lurking around the corner. But what do you do when your mobility is impaired?
So we cruised around in her little, old Cinquecento visiting zoos, parcs and picknick areas. While we made plans together, I noticed she really had a hard time telling me what she wanted to do. She was not used to deciding, she was not used to making decisions or taking initiative. She was a sweet, gentle lady always focusing on others and responding to whatever crossed her path, not thinking about what she wanted.
One afternoon we needed to get out of the apartment because it was very hot, but we actually didn't have a fixed destiny to go to. So I drove the little car up front, let her in, put the wheelchair in the back and we would go onto the main road. I decided to play a little game with her and let her decide where to go. Not by thinking of a far destiny, but by choosing what to do at every cross roads. Do we go left, right or straight ahead? In the beginning it was not easy for her. "What if I make the wrong decision?" she said. So I assured her by telling there is no wrong decision, because without a fixed destination we can go anywhere. This gave her some confidence.
So we cruised around the country side in the surroundings of Verona. We visited the most beautiful places, found a perfect picknick spot "by chance", marvelled at the vast vineyards, hill views and had a wonderful time together. We laughed and enjoyed all these new experiences. I saw that she relaxed into her ability to choose the direction she wanted to go and enjoying where it got her.
This was a fun, intuitive game we played and now, 5 years later, I still look back on it as one of the happiest moments of my life. I also use this technique in my own life. If I don't know which action to take or my long term focus gets a little clouded or takes unexpected turns, I just focus on the next step. I pause, take a deep breath, close my eyes and feel the next step. Usually it takes me to the most beautiful places. Just moving along step by step and let life unfold itself in front of my eyes. This is where my intuition gets stronger and stronger, things go easy, I reconnect with flow and synchronicities happen. The key is not to think too much.
Get into action. Take actions that feel good and make decisions. The trick is to let go of the outcome and have fun along the way.
If you find it hard to apply this exercise to big life themes, just start with the small ones.
Walk around the block one evening and do the left, right, straight exercise I did with my mother-in-law. Look at your surroundings, enjoy the view, enjoy the new places you discover. You cannot get lost. And if after 30/60/90 minutes you look around and don't know were you are, you just consult Google Maps on your phone or better still ask a person in the street for directions. You will always find your way back home. And maybe have an interesting conversation with a stranger as well.
Cook a new dish. Put all the herbs and spices that you have at your kitchen counter. Pick the ones that draw your attention and use them. Do this exercise on a free Sunday and see where it takes you. Do you like the dish? Do you find interesting new combinations to marinade your meat, spice up your curry or season your rice dish?
Stand in front of your bookcase and pick the first book you lay your eyes on. Start reading in this book, or open it at a random page. What fresh inspiration do you get?
Light variant of above: Take a map of your country or region, blindfold yourself and pick a destination for a little trip in the weekend. Visit a nearby city or do a hike in the surroundings. For sure it will get you out of routine, soften the control-freak within you and give you a new perspective on life.
What is your next step? What adventure is around the corner to surprise you with the outcome? What effect does this little fun exercise have on other big life themes you are dealing with?

The Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG, and formerly Fuel Duty Rebate) is a scheme that refunds some of the Fuel Duty incurred by operators of registered local bus services in the United Kingdom. In 2006 the grant repaid 81% of duty paid on ultra low sulphur diesel fuel, and 100% for bioethanol, biodiesel and liquefied petroleum gas.

Overview
The Fuel duty rebate was established under section 92 of the Finance Act 1965. Further legislation was included in section 19 of the Transport Act 1985. Fuel Duty Rebate (FDR) was available only on complying local bus services. Until 1994 the level of FDR was 100% By 1999 the rebate had been reduced to about 67%.

The grant is available for operators of local bus services available for use by the general public which operated on public roads. The definition of 'local' is that stops should not be more than 15 miles apart.

The grant is paid to local-authority supported services, and to unsupported commercially-sustained services that comply with the eligibility criteria. The bus industry also receives reimbursement for carriage of holders of valid bus passes, which is also funded by the local authority.

The grant is also available to operators of vehicles with Small Bus Permits (Section 19) when providing services for some groups of passengers:-
People aged 60 or over.
Persons of all ages,  who are physically or mentally impaired and persons assisting them
People on income support
People on job seekers allowance
People of all ages, suffering a degree of social exclusion by virtue of unemployment, poverty or other economic factors, homelessness, geographical remoteness, ill health, or religious or cultural reasons.
People of all ages,  who believe that it would be unsafe for them to use any public passenger transport services.
Carers or children under 16 years of age accompanying any of the above

Some longer UK coach services, such as the Oxford Tube claim the grant for part of their routes. The Oxford Tube initially made a stop at Lewknor on the M40 motorway in order to qualify for the grant between Oxford and that point. Subsequently, it has created additional demand from passengers joining at Lewknor.

England
The terms were changed by Section 154 of the Transport Act 2000. Fuel duty rebate was renamed the Bus Service Operators' Grant (BSOG), even though it is still as a rebate paid at a set rate per litre of fuel. In 2002 the 'Bus Service Operators Grant (England) Regulations 2002' extended the grant to cover a wider range of community transport service operators.

Under the Coalition government's Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) the grant was kept at 81% until April 2012, when reduced by 20%. The current payment rate is the lowest ever percentage since the rebate's inception in the 1960s.

In autumn 2012 the DfT held a consultation on bus subsidy reform in which it presented options to switch some or all of the rebate away from the bus operators that incur the fuel cost, and pay it instead to local authorities. It opened on 13 September 2012 and closed on 12 November.

The Government considered reducing BSOG in 2013 but following a joint campaign by bus operators, local authorities and campaign groups, decided against. However, some eligibility criteria were tightened.

A 2014 economic appraisal carried out by the firm KPMG on behalf of the group Greener Journeys found that for £1 spent on BSOG, between £2.50 and £3.50 is generated in benefits, including wider economic and social impacts.

In 2015, again there were fears that BSOG would be cut as part of the Government Spending Review, which combined with cuts to local authority funding, would have threatened many bus routes. Campaign and industry groups campaigned against this, and in the Autumn Statement in November, it became clear that BSOG would be retained.

BSOG rates paid to operators in England from 2014 onwards.

In April 2022, an additional zero-emission bus incentive of 22 pence/kilometre was introduced.

From 1 January 2014, the Department for Transport (DfT) has paid an annual grant to eligible local authorities in England to replace the Bus Service Operators' Grant (BSOG) for tendered services. Until September 2018, this had been paid direct to the bus operators.

Scotland

BSOG was devolved and has been administered separately in Scotland since 1 April 2010. The link with fuel duty was formally severed from this date with payments being calculated on live service-kilometres run, not fuel consumption. This slightly favoured rural bus routes whose fuel efficiency is slightly higher than urban buses which have more stop-start driving. This also disincentivised less fuel efficient buses and 'dead milage' for bus movements between an operator's depots.

BSOG was replaced by the Network Support Grant on 31 March 2022.

Network Support Grant
This is paid at a flat rate of 14.4 p/km and includes terms and conditions to consult with relevant local transport authorities on timetabling, respond positively and quickly to reasonable requests from local transport authorities to amend service patterns, hours of operation, vehicles used or levels of provision, and to communicate changes to services with Transport Scotland, and the public in a timely fashion.

Wales
The Department for Transport administers BSOG on behalf of the Welsh government who set the BSOG rates and fund the scheme in Wales.  The UK government raised Fuel Duty by 2p/litre in 2007, but the Welsh Government, and the Scottish Government refused to provide a compensatory increase in BSOG rates, with both devolved administrations citing budget difficulties following declines in budget consequentials from that year's UK government spending review.

Northern Ireland

Transport was not de-regulated in Northern Ireland in 1985 and bus services are delivered through Translink.  The Department for Infrastructure provided the Fuel Duty Rebate until it was withdrawn entirely in 2013. The rebate has not since been reinstated.

Dr. Boyd's doctoral project is titled Reactive Versus Responsive Parenting. His study examines the effects of exposure to unresolved conflict on children, especially the emotional distress related to reactive parenting. The resounding evidence points out repeatedly that children exposed to continual conflict because of this parenting style are at an elevated risk of depression and anxiety, aggressive behavioral problems and a lack of self-regulation, along with defensive behavioral tendencies in adolescence and adulthood and a repetition of dysfunctional interpersonal relationships.

ReplicaSets are the next-generation Replication Controllers. The only difference between a ReplicaSet and a Replication Controller right now is the selector support. Similar to Replication Controllers, a ReplicaSet ensures that a specified number of pod "replicas" are running at any given time.
Deployments are intended to replace Replication Controllers. They provide the same replication functions (through Replica Sets) and also the ability to rollout changes and roll them back if necessary. In fact, a Deployment owns and manages one or more Replica Sets. And a Replica Set manages the basic units in Kubernetes which are Pods.
Let's create a simple Deployment using the same image we've been using.
You see here that in the deployment description the replication set is referenced and not the pods. The pods are described in the replication set description as can be seen from the snippet below.

Frieze New York 2019
Amassing a Frieze Library, book by book
Galleries donate publications for a collection that will go to the Metropolitan Museum
2nd May 2019 13:00 GMT
Sam Gordon and Jacob Robichaux have donated a copy of Inside Sanou Oumar's Drawings to Frieze Library Pre-Echo Press, New York
More than 100 galleries participating in Frieze New York have donated publications for a new initiative called Frieze Library, building up a collection that will be donated to the Thomas J. Watson Library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The project was created by the New York-based dealer Gordon Robichaux, which is showing works by the Burkina Faso-born artist Sanou Oumar in the Frame section of the fair.
"We pitched the idea to Frieze, say Sam Gordon and Jacob Robichaux, the founders of Gordon Robichaux. "They were enthusiastic and supportive, and it developed quickly. We're both artists and have made our own artists' books, so when we opened the gallery it was something we wanted to do: produce and support publications."
During the fair, visitors can browse the collection in the Frieze Reading Room, located near the south entrance. "At the end of the fair, they'll find a home in the Met's Watson Library," the pair add. "We compiled a bibliography that's available online and distributed during the fair. It's an archive and microcosm of Frieze." Their contribution to the Frieze Library is Sanou Oumar, Drawings, which is published by Pre-Echo Press.
Other titles in the library include a publication dedicated to the Turner Prize nominee Lawrence Abu Hamdan, donated by Maureen Paley gallery in London, and Amalia Ulman: Excellences & Perfections, given by James Fuentes Gallery.

One component can emit events (blindly) and another will react to this event by
listening for it. For example, the Color component might emit 'redraw' and the
rendering component would update the color by listening to this event.

## On 'return this'

Chaining method calls can be nice since it makes for a little less typing
(actually just the number of letters in the variable). But there are a couple of
problems with this approach.

  * It forces all functions to 'return this' or to mark those compatible with
    this style to differenciate them from the others.
  * As a corrolary, it forbids the use of functions returning something possibly
    more useful then 'this'


LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc is making a push for merchants on its website to sell goods into other countries, setting the stage for greater competition with rival marketplaces run by eBay Inc and potentially Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.
That amounts to between $50 billion and $75 billion for merchants selling to customers in another country, based on analysts' estimates for Amazon's total gross merchandise sales. Amazon does not disclose the figure.
The cross-border increase - outpacing Amazon's 31 percent rise in overall net sales - represents a massive opportunity for the world's largest online retailer. That is why Amazon has encouraged merchants to list ever-more products on its websites around the world, which could make its marketplaces more desirable to shoppers than those of the competition.
"The speed with which sellers have been selling globally has accelerated over time," said Broussard, who oversees Amazon's international marketplaces.
"A customer shops in German, pays in euros and gets very rapid fulfillment" for a product from a U.S. seller, for example, Broussard said.
Tech Armor, a smartphone accessories maker near Los Angeles, said that its business was growing faster internationally than in the United States and that it has shipped more than 12 million units through Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) since 2012. That has come partly from Amazon's encouragement.
Amazon takes a cut of merchants' transactions, which for jewelry can reach 30 percent of a sale fulfilled by Amazon, said Elena Castaneda, founder of Bling Jewelry in greater New York. Amazon's net sales from seller services was $32 billion in 2017.
"Say I do $1 million in Amazon U.S. If you take all of Europe and you do all five countries (with Amazon Marketplaces), it would almost be equivalent to the amount you do in the U.S.," she said.

Q: class inheritance in ruby / rails so this is what i want to do:
class A
  ATTRS = []

  def list_attrs
    puts ATTRS.inspect
  end
end

class B < A
  ATTRS = [1,2]
end

a = A.new
b = B.new
a.list_attrs
b.list_attrs

i want to create a base class with a method that plays with the ATTRS attribute of the class. in each inherited class there will be a different ATTRS array
so when i call a.list_attrs it should print an empty array and if i call b.attrs should put [1,2].
how can this be done in ruby / ruby on rails?

A: It is typically done with methods:
class A
  def attrs
    []
  end

  def list_attrs
    puts attrs.inspect
  end
end

class B < A
  def attrs
    [1,2]
  end
end

A: modf's answer works... here's another way with variables.  (ATTRS is a constant in your example)
class A
  def initialize
    @attributes = []
  end

  def list_attrs
    puts @attributes.inspect
  end
end

class B < A
  def initialize
    @attributes = [1,2]
  end
end

A: I don't think it's a good idea to create the same array each time a method is called. It's more natural to use class instance variables.
class A
  def list_attrs; p self.class.attrs end
end
class << A
  attr_accessor :attrs
end

class A
  @attrs = []
end
class B < A
  @attrs = [1, 2]
end
A.new.list_attrs # => []
B.new.list_attrs # => [1, 2]

You can also use constants along the line suggested in the question:
class A
  def list_attrs; p self.class.const_get :ATTRS end
  ATTRS = []
end
class B < A
  ATTRS = [1, 2]
end
A.new.list_attrs # => []
B.new.list_attrs # => [1, 2]


John and I went for a walk along the beach this afternoon – between Blackpool and St. Annes – and came across this TV. Admittedly, it was a little further up the beach when we found it, but it would have been dark by the time the tide came in so we took the liberty of moving it. I think that John will be putting up a similar shot this evening and I'll be putting up a black and white version tomorrow.

Treasure hunting for rare cells in the developing human brain
Being able to pinpoint and study the specific types of cells that help our brains develop is crucial to understand both how our brains work and what makes us uniquely human.
But with 86-billion neurons of various types and billions more supporting cells intermingled in a complex web, the human brain is a challenging place to conduct a hunt for a needle in a haystack.
Researchers at the Allen Institute were particularly interested in studying a small set of cells called radial glia: a rare type of cell that supports the growth of neurons during early human brain development. Radial glia can be picked out by their distinct shapes and locations, but their molecular makeup has been challenging to study since these cells are intermixed with very different cell types in the brain and so must be analyzed one cell at a time.
"In order to get at these cells, which are just one percent of the cells in the developing human cortex, we need to blindly analyze as many as 20,000 cells," says Boaz Levi, Ph.D., Manager in In Vitro Human Cell Types at the Allen Institute for Brain Science.
This is because until now, scientists have only been able to gather gene expression information on living cells, as opposed to cells that have been fixed so that scientists can select them by the presence or absence of molecules present only inside the cell. But in research published this month in Nature Methods, Allen Institute researchers have pioneered a new technique that allows them to fix the cell first, sort only rare cells based on expression of certain intracellular markers, and sequence later.
"Instead of sequencing 20,000 cells, we were able to study the progenitor cells we were interested in by profiling just 200 cells," says Levi.
By analyzing the data, Levi and his colleagues were able to make some interesting observations about radial glia, including defining the molecular differences and identifying new molecular markers for two subtypes of radial glia. Interestingly, one class of these progenitors seems to have become much more abundant through evolution and may hold insights into how complex brains, such as those of primates, evolved.
"This new technique that allows us to measure gene expression from rare populations of cells where only intracellular markers are known is exciting in part because it can have impact far beyond neuroscience," says Levi. "Many of the tissues that are the most difficult to study (such as primary human tissue) are also the ones that contain the cells you actually care about, so having a way to study them using fewer resources means we can ask many more interesting questions."

The Velvet Revolution (Czech: sametová revoluce) or Gentle Revolution (Slovak: nežná revolúcia) was a non-violent transition of power in what was then Czechoslovakia. The period of upheaval and transition took place from November 17 to December 29, 1989. Popular demonstrations against the one-party government of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia combined students and older dissidents. The end result was the end of 41 years of rule in Czechoslovakia, and the subsequent conversion to a parliamentary republic.
On November 17, 1989 (International Students' Day), riot police suppressed a student demonstration in Prague. That event sparked a series of demonstrations from November 19 to late December. By November 20, the number of protesters assembled in Prague had grown from 200,000 the previous day to an estimated 500,000. A two-hour general strike involving all citizens of Czechoslovakia was held on November 27. On November 24, the entire top leadership of the Communist Party, including General Secretary Miloš Jakeš, resigned.
The Velvet Revolution was a non-violent revolution in Czechoslovakia that took place in 1989.
Brett Kimberlin (born 1954) is best known as the perpetrator of the Speedway bombings in 1978. Since his release from prison, Kimberlin has co-founded the non-profit Justice Through Music Project and the activist organization Velvet Revolution. He has also been involved in various legal disputes.
Shortly after graduating from high school, Kimberlin was convicted in 1973 of felony perjury for lying to a grand jury investigating drug trafficking. Kimberlin had been called before a grand jury investigating drug use at his high school and was convicted for testifying that he had not sold LSD. Kimberlin served only 21 days of a one-year sentence on this charge.
By 1976, Kimberlin's drug business was grossing hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. Kimberlin invested his free cash in such businesses as a retail health food store, a vegetarian restaurant, and an Earth shoe franchise. However, Kimberlin became a suspect in the murder of Julia Scyphers, the mother of a friend/employee of his in Speedway, Indiana in 1978.


Remember Jim Carey in The Grinch? Well, if you thought his transformation was impressive, check out these 15 stars who were as equally unrecognizable for a role. Would you have recognized them? Tell us which one you think's the best - just share your comments with us below!
In order to play a convincing Madame D., Tilda Swinton would spend 5 hours in make-up, followed by another 5 hours to remove her 'disguise'. Imagine doing that for every day over the course of several weeks!
Leto had to play a character who was suffering from AIDS and make-up artists had to turn his youthful face and features into that of someone seriously ill... Prominent bones, sickly eyes, rashes and lesions were all 'added' in order to get a realistic look.
It took John Travolta over a year to decide if he wanted to play Edna Trunbald and when he did, he quickly found out that he'd have to wear a dress that weighed over 30lb, not to mention the layers of heavy make-up that had to be applied every day!

Danny DeVito's Penguin was an awesome achievement when it came to turning the actor into Batman's arch enemy. DeVito was banned from talking about his make-up and costumes in order to keep a shroud of mystery until opening night and we all agreed that the result was as impressive as it was terrifying!
Jacob spent 2 hours in make-up each day, which included wearing prostheses in order to look like his character, Auggie Pullman… Before filming started, the young actor became friends with kids who had facial differences, which allowed him to better understand their plight and get into character.
Oldman's no newcomer when it comes to physically transforming for a character and it was with the help of Kazuhiro Tsuji, a retired make-up artist that he convincingly morphed into Winston Churchill. The actor begged for Tsuji to be allowed to do his make-up, not least because the artist had worked on Hellboy, the apes in Planet of the Apes, The Grinch, etc.
Theron sacrificed a lot in order to play this role. She stopped working out and binged on junk food in order to gain weight. Apart from layers of make-up, she also had to wear prostheses that completely transformed her delicate facial features.
Robert De Niro's superb acting skills and a top-notch make-up team turned this handsome A-lister into his pitiful and scary character, which explains why the movie was nominated for an Oscar in the best make-up category.
This actor spent so much time in make-up that he swore he would never again accept a role that required such a heavy transformation. But this decision didn't last long as he went on to star in the TV series Arabian Nights!
This movie relied on good make-up and Greg Cannom, who was responsible for transforming Brad Pitt, spent a long time testing his effects in order for the storyline to be believable.

It was the Oscar-winning Mark Coulier who created Lord Voldemort's spine-chilling look. One problem he had was that so many LOTR actors were kids and he had little time to do them up due to their shorter working hours. So Voldemort had to be quickly made up without skipping any details!
This film was such a success that props from the movie still sell like hot cakes and fans often copy Captain Hook's various prostheses when sorting out Halloween or Cosplay costumes.
Would you have recognized Streep in this movie? She played 4 characters - Hannah Pitt, Ethel Rosenberg, a rabbi and an angel and yet you'd think they were completely different actors! This was one movie that had an awesome team of make-up artists!
Helena Bonham Carter was unrecognizable when she was transformed in to an ape for Tim Burton's 2001 blockbuster Planet of the Apes!
The transformation of Richard Brake into a White Walker for Game of Thrones is just one example of how this series boasts some of the best make-up artists in TV history!


Voting with their feet once it starts affecting the franchise's things may happen.
How many were there yesterday? Bet they announced 60,000 plus regardless of course.
It's fascinating to watch in all honesty but really unnerving.
I think season ticket renewals will be interesting as well. It wouldn't surprise me if they introduced something to ensure that X percentage of your season tickets are used or you lose it. That's the sort of horrible thing Arsenal would do. Actually did I imagine that or did they akready do that?
I think it's fair to say Wenger is one reason people are taking away but also it's symptomatic of football, when there's nothing to play for people lose interest these days. The modern fan isn't thick and thin largely.
No there is no rule about having to attend, if they did half the holders would be gone.
Well the empty seats have def got people talking! Hopefully they will make the change!


Carl Theodor Dreyer's beautifully photographed tale explores the religious intolerance and familial tensions within a Danish farming family. Based on a 1932 play by Danish playwright and Lutheran country priest Kaj Munk (1898-1944), Ordet is a tale of miraculous resurrection brought about by human love.
It is an extraordinary expression of spiritual optimism, that is neither sentimental nor pious, exploring the clash between orthodox religions and true faith. Dreyer achieves its powerful effects in deceptively simple ways, and has produced, in its closing moments, one of the most extraordinary scenes in all cinema.

Tellico Trout Hatchery
Rearing Pools
Tellico Hatchery was originally constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), between 1930 and 1941. It included six 25-foot circular pools and for many years was known as the Pheasant Branch Rearing Pools, because its water supply came from Pheasant Branch. Linear raceways and earthen pools, with a water source from nearby Sycamore Creek, were added in the 1940's. More raceways were added in the 1960's along with a water intake on Tellico River. The facility underwent major renovation in 1991-1992 and now has 28 main outdoor concrete raceways, one C-Series raceway, six concrete circular pools (not in use), a hatchery building, and two residences. Tellico Hatchery is actually a trout rearing facility (9-in. rainbow trout from Dale Hollow National Fish Hatchery are transported to Tellico where they are then reared to a larger stocking size). A brook trout hatchery building was constructed in 1991 on one of the original circular pools. Southern-strain brook trout were hatched and reared at the facility for about three years as part of ongoing brook trout restoration projects in the Tellico area. The brook trout facility is still functional but no longer in use. The facility's current water supply comes mainly from the Tellico River, Sycamore Creek, and to a lesser extent, Pheasant Branch. Unlike other Region IV trout hatcheries (Buffalo Springs and Erwin), which have spring-fed water sources with constant year-round temperature, Tellico Hatchery water temperatures can vary from as low as 32º F in winter to 72º F in the summer. As a result, trout growth is generally very limited during mid-November through late February.
Average annual production during 1999-2003 was 56,074 pounds of trout at an average expenditure of $207,404 per year ($3.70 per pound). In 2004, 133,499 rainbow trout weighing 87,132 pounds were reared and stocked from Tellico Hatchery. The majority (~82%) of trout reared at Tellico Hatchery are stocked in the Tellico River (about 73,000 annually) and Citico Creek (about 36,000 annually). These are intensive "put-and-take" managed streams that require anglers to purchase an additional daily permit to fish during the stocking season (March 15 through September 15). The remaining trout stocked from Tellico Hatchery go to Green Cove Pond and Polk County (Region III) streams.

Stephenville's FAITH Knights Seek Ninth Straight State Championship Game Appearance
A high school team made up of players who have never been classmates is making another run into the post-season
By Pat Doney	• Published on November 15, 2019 at 6:39 pm
High school football under the Friday night lights is a way of life in Texas, the stuff that makes movies and TV series, but what if you are home schooled?
Stephenville's FAITH Knights have been the most dominant six-man high school football program in the state for the last decade.
"We are a small group of a bunch of home school kids and kids from around here," said FAITH Knights linebacker Tristian Saxon. "We're all brothers. We work together. If you come on this team, you're going to be a brother and you're going to be a Knight for life."

The FAITH Knights are on pace to have of the most successful high school football runs in state history.
"This is our tenth year, and in the nine previous years, we've made the state playoff game eight years in a row," said Chance Yankie. "Of those eight, we've won seven straight championships in a row, which I believe is a state record."
Eight straight state championship game appearances, with a team made up of only nine players, forcing the Knights to play almost every down every Friday night.
"It's kind of normal for us right now, because it's all we know," said junior running back Samuel Yankie. "We play both ways the whole game with no plays off. It's kind of tough."
Playing requires a high-level of endurance, which Knights coach Chance Yankie, who also works as a local youth pastor and home builder, teaches using a familiar training routine he used in high school in the 1990s.
"Jimmy Johnson's Cowboys workouts," said Chance Yankie. "One day you do sprints, the next day you do distance running, the next day sprints, the next day distance, then a walkthrough to let their legs rest and then game time. That's the best shape I've ever been in, so I'm going to have these guys do the same thing. It's tried and true, and conditioning has kept us healthy."
Health is crucial for the Knights, as is recruiting, with the team accepting any students who are home schooled or who attend a private school that does not have its own football program, which often results in teenagers taking the field as Knights playing football for the very first time.
"You get who you get, and you don't throw a fit, as we like to say," said Chance Yankie. "Whoever God brings our way, that's who we try to develop, who we try to plug-in, who we try to evaluate and see what's your skillset, what could you potentially be good at."
An evaluation that has worked year after year, as this season's Knights team, filled with multiple players playing football for the first time, is once again on track to make a state championship game appearance for a ninth straight year.
"When we ended the state title game last year, we didn't even know if we'd have a team this year," said Knights assistant coach Brandon Saxon. "God provided that and these kids that were here, they know tradition, and they carried it on."
"The state championship teams have definitely motivated us," said Samuel Yankie. "We definitely look to be like the teams in the past."

North Dakota Could Be A Good Place To Live, If…
April 29, 2016 Uncategorizedgreed in North Dakota, Living in Dickinson, North Dakota, living in North Dakota, Living in Watford City North Dakota, living in Western North Dakota, Moving to Dickinson, North Dakota, moving to Watford City North Dakota, relocating to Dickinson North Dakota, relocating to Watford City North Dakotaname withheld
North Dakota could be a good place to live. I have lived in North Dakota for almost four years now. I have had a lot of bad things to say about North Dakota, but I also know of some good, unique things about North Dakota, that nobody talks about.
I have lived in Florida, Virginia, Texas, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and Idaho. In comparison, even to the sparsely populated states of Utah and Idaho, you can really, really be left alone in North Dakota. Once you get on your own property in North Dakota, you are left alone like no other place I have been. The place that I live on outside of Dickinson, is not even one acre, yet I have had less interference on this property than I have had on my rural five acres in Idaho.
Even if you are not on your own property, once you are driving around outside of the towns, whether it's outside of Dickinson, or outside of Watford City, you are mostly on your own. You are not being surveilled, watched, monitored, scrutinized, or spied on. In Florida, Virginia, Colorado, and Texas, it was hard to get away from people, you can go to remote rural areas, and there is somebody there. In North Dakota, you can really get away from people.
There is not a lot of crime in North Dakota. In the cities, like Dickinson, Williston, and Bismarck, there is a small amount of theft due to piece of shit people from out of state bringing in illegal drugs, which result in addicts committing thefts. In the rural areas, there is very little theft. The rural areas are sparsely populated, people live on large pieces of property, there just aren't people creeping around on other people's property trying to steal someones laptop computer or DVD player.
I very much like that North Dakota is sparsely populated, you can be left alone, you can get away from people. In your own home, you can be free from interference, noise, theft, and other crime. Living in North Dakota can be very stress-free because of the reasons that I just mentioned, but also because of the slow pace of life in the rural areas where there is not a lot going on.
Doing some reading yesterday, I read some research that a North Dakota journalist had conducted in order to write an article. The journalist questioned and surveyed out of state workers that had come to North Dakota during this past Oil Boom. About 80% of the workers stated that they did not plan on living in North Dakota permanently. The journalist was surprised to learn that the workers said it was not that there was no shopping, lack of restaurants, lack of entertainment, lack of things to do, or that it was cold, the workers said that they did not know where they could afford to live.
North Dakota probably has the most amount of undeveloped land of any state, much of it barren prairie. How could it be that the out of state workers did not think that they would ever be able to afford a place to live? 90% of you already know why, and yes, I am going to start talking about the greedy, immoral, property managers, property developers, and property investors again, though just briefly.
Everybody listen up! Many of the out of state workers that came to work in North Dakota during this last Oil Boom would have stayed, would have brought their families to live here permanently, because of the peace and quiet of the wide open spaces, being able to raise a family without interference on their own land, without having to deal with the stress of traffic, fear of drugs, gangs, and crime. However, left unchecked, the greedy property managers, property developers, and property investors quickly quadrupled the cost of rent and housing, making all the workers believe that they could never afford to live in North Dakota.
North Dakota would have been tremendously better off, if it would have not allowed the greedy people here to mistreat the workers, and cause them to leave.

Law enforcement officers respond to an early morning shooting on Northern Road in Presque Isle on Sept. 9, 2019.
By Jen Lynds, BDN Staff • December 1, 2019 1:19 pm
CARIBOU, Maine — Three people were indicted by an Aroostook County grand jury in connection with a shooting on Northern Road in Presque Isle in September.
Aroostook County District Attorney Todd Collins released the grand jury indictments Wednesday.
Police said they received a 911 call just before 6 a.m. Sept. 9 from a man on Northern Road saying he had been shot.
The victim, whose identity has not been disclosed, was taken to Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor.
Police said they thought the shooter or shooters and victim were known to each other.
Police arrested Jomo White, 31, of Atlanta, Georgia, in connection with the shooting. A section of State Street in Presque Isle was blocked off when authorities arrested White. Northern Maine Community College and Maine School Administrative District 1 canceled classes on Sept. 9, and residents were urged to remain indoors while authorities investigated.
White was indicted on charges of attempted murder, elevated aggravated assault, reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and robbery.
A second suspect, 26-year-old Brittany Britton of Mars Hill, was indicted on charges of robbery, elevated aggravated assault and reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon.
A third suspect, 44-year-old Jason L. Alexander of Blaine, was indicted on charges of elevated aggravated assault, reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon and robbery.

If you're looking for something a little different to play on your Switch, Wales Interactive's next project might just be the perfect thing.
As part of a collaboration with developer Superstring, the publisher will be bringing Headspun to Nintendo Switch this summer. It places live-action footage inside its gameplay (you can see it in action in the trailer above), making for an interesting and unusual hybrid of styles. We've got a description of the game for you below.
Will you be keeping an eye out for this one as we get closer to its release this summer? Let us know your first impressions in the comments below.
While I generally feel that live action cut scenes in video games are best left as relics of the past, it's actually quite fitting for this type of story telling.
@Desrever well I guess there is an exception to every rule.
This looks cool. On the wishlist it goes and I'll keep an eye on it along with checking out reviews. Could very well be a buy as I love games that are different from the norm.


This short cluster of stylized David Roemer photoshoots will be the first of many--that, I am sure of. The talented photographer is behind some very hot Trend Hunter features. From the lookbook he shot for Zanerobe to his editorials of Courtney Love and MGMT, David Roemer seems to always be in his element.
From disheveled street to bashful hipster editorials, enjoy these amazing David Roemer photoshoots.
Implications - Consumers are often unable to fulfill a wide range of fantasies on their own time due to hectic lifestyles filled with busy schedules and tight deadlines. Such individuals are seeking out products that will provide them with brief escapes from their mundane responsibilities. While engaging in the actual experience is unlikely, visual stimulation is a direct and time efficient way for businesses to provide consumers with what they want.
