Smile, there is a new Kylie Scott novel
Rush to your local bookstore or e-book retailer. Kylie Scott has a new novel releasing today. I have been an ardent fan since reading Dirty, the first of her Dive Bar series. Quickly, I read through her backlist, including her zombie apocalypse erotica. Her YA novel, Trust, ensnared my three adult daughters into her book magic. Ms. Scott simply cannot write fast enough for me. I already have my e-copy and I am waiting for the print to arrive.
"Addictive like all Kylie Scott books, you'll swoon, laugh, ache, put your life on hold, and compulsively read until the wee hours of the night—only to reread the whole thing the next morning. Perfection!" – Katy Evans, New York Times bestselling author
Returning home for her father's wedding was never going to be easy for Adele. If being sent away at eighteen hadn't been bad enough, the mess she left behind when she made a pass at her dad's business partner sure was.
Fifteen years older than her, Pete had been her crush for as long as she could remember. But she'd misread the situation—confusing friendliness for undying love. Awkward. Add her father to the misunderstanding, and Pete was left with a broken nose and a business on the edge of ruin. The man had to be just as glad as everyone else when she left town.
Seven years later, things are different. Adele is no longer a kid, but a fully grown adult more than capable of getting through the wedding and being polite. But all it takes is seeing him again to bring back those old feelings.
Sometimes first loves are the truest.

"Did you enjoy the wedding?" he asked.
"W-what?"
The man stood much closer than necessary. "The wedding. It was nice, right?"
Faint strains of music carried from across the road. It seemed worlds away. He downed a mouthful of scotch, gaze never leaving my face. All I could smell was the single malt, his cologne, and the slight scent of salt on his skin. After all, it'd been a hot night and he'd been dancing in the suit. He wasn't happy; I knew the signs well enough. The tension in his jawline and the look in his eyes. All heated and intense.
"So you've been sitting in the dark, drinking and brooding, huh?" I asked. "That sounds constructive."
"What did Leona have to say?"
I laughed. "Oh, hell no. I'm not getting caught in the middle of you two again. Why don't you try settling your issues like normal people and actually talk to one another?"
"You have such a clever mouth, Adele." He cocked his head. "Always got an answer, don't you?"
"Enjoy your scotch, Pete." I turned away. "I'm going to bed."
"What's the rush?" Strong fingers wrapped around my arm, not gripping me hard, just enough to hold me in place.
"I've spent enough time tonight in the company of a drunken asshole, thank you." I smiled.
His return smile was lopsided. "You're angry."
"I'm tired."
"You're angry and tired. Me too," he said. "Less so on the tired, though. Actually, I'm wide the fuck awake."
He finished off his drink, then reached past me, setting the empty glass on the kitchen counter. "Keep me company."
"I don't think that's a good idea."
"Why not?" he asked, expression full of false interest. "Thought you'd love the chance to tell me off some more."
I looked away. "We're done here."
"No, we're not."
"Yes, we are." I pulled my arm out of his grasp. "We're finished, Pete. Our friendship or whatever the hell it is these days . . . It's over, kaput, the end. Took me seven years, but tonight I finally wised up."
"That so?"
"Yep," I said. "I refuse to keep feeling this way about you. It's such a stupid waste."
His gaze narrowed.
"You know, I even have a plan."
"What might that be?"
"In the morning, I'm going to go home and fuck every available man I meet until one of them does it for me." My smile felt jagged and horrible. It couldn't have been pretty so see. "And then I won't think about you anymore."
His fingers curled into tight fists. Nice to know I wasn't the only one affected. I put my hand on his chest, getting up in his face. Two could play the invading-personal-space game, for fun and intimidation. As if I would back down.

When Fiction Bares The Bones of Truth
Afterwar by Lilith Saintcrow is a powerful dystopian novel about the United States seventy years in the future. The nation has been torn apart by civil war. Ruling from Washington D.C, President McCoombs and the America First party rule with an iron fist. Immigrants are criminals and must be forcibly sterilized. Free speech is repressed. Patriotic displays are mandatory. Failure to show sufficient patriotism will result in punishment. For the worst elements of society, there are the Reklamation Kamps.
Fighting against the government are the Federals and the Raiders, guerilla fighters of former citizens. Freeing one Reklamation Kamp, they find most of the captured Raiders had been sent to the killing jars. But one raider had been sent to the brothel. A former medic, Lara, rejoins the Raiders in the fight. But as the war end, it is necessary to search the officials, who committed war crimes. Traumatized by her experiences, Lara might be the key to finding the worst of the criminals, a doctor who performed inhumane experiments on prisoners and children.
This is a dystopian fantasy, but there is an underlying truth to it. The reader cannot ignore the similarities to the America First's hatred for the immigrant, the homosexual, the non-Christian, and others to the rhetoric of the current resident of the White House. Moreover, anyone with any knowledge of US history must connect the darker aspects of our history to this bleak future. This strong connection to the present and past of the United States makes this a compelling story. Even the descriptions of places are uncannily accurate. The City of Boise plays a role in the story and Saintcrow captures the city and its attitude perfectly.
But ultimately, Saintcrow writes an excellent, exciting story about a group of survivors of war and their struggle to find a better tomorrow.

RT Convention 2018 Day 2
Day two of the convention began with a lovely breakfast. During the buffet, Katherine Falk made a shocking disclosure. After 37 years of the Romantic Times Book Reviews, Katherine Falk was bringing the magazine and conventions to a close. The audience was stunned. Unknowingly, we were all attending the very last RT Convention.
The rest of the morning was spent at seminars on writing. In particular, I went to the presentations on historical romances and paranormals. At more than one workshop during the convention, authors were recommending the Aeon timeline software for maintaining their stories timelines. There is a free trial for Aeon Timeline. https://www.aeontimeline.com/download/. Also, recommended was the Big Little Book of Filth. At another writing seminar, a couple of authors admitted they looked at porn on Tumblr for inspiration for sex scenes. I didn't know there was porn on Tumblr. So obviously, I was getting my money's worth of useful writing advice.
Then there was a stop at the goody room, which was full of free books for attendees. It was fun selecting my seven books from the wide selection. Then there was a stop at the Gift Basket Bazaar. Attendees could enter one time for a wide variety of baskets donated by authors and publishers. Then we could buy tickets for the raffle baskets for charity. The charity was the Mammogram Van of Nevada, which provides mammograms to geographically isolated and/or uninsured women. The baskets contained books and gorgeous designer purses. The charity is vital to so many rural women. Kudos to Cherry Adair and Tina DeSalvo who were behind this charitable raffle.
In the afternoon, there was the Romantic Suspense Genre Party. Romantic Suspense is a beloved genre of mine since my earliest days of romance reading of Mary Stewart, who will always be the benchmark for romantic suspense for me. At the genre party, the stars and the future stars of the genre were present, including Cherry Adair, Karen Rose, Amy Jarecki, and Khloe Wren to name a few. The authors signed books and gave away swag. There was chocolate. Fortunately, there was a tote bag to carry my loot back to the hotel room.
The festivities began in the early evening with the Garters & Gold Dust Party. This party was another opportunity to meet fabulous historical writers. There was champagne to drink. Cover models came dressed in historical costumes. One of the most fabulous outfits featured books and was worn by a gorgeous crossdresser. Again, gift baskets were being raffled. As we entered the party, we were given a raffle ticket. This time the lucky winner was my good friend, Meredith Allen Conners. Her basket was amazing. It contained books, scarfs, ray ban sunglasses, and more.
The day finished with the Peace Love Romance Celebration, a 70s costume gala. Both Meredith and I dressed up in our mini dresses. Meredith was gorgeous with her natural blonde afro, a vivid print mini dress, and bright yellow boots. The music was amazing. There was a dance floor. There were games. Authors were signing books. There were appetizers. For the thirsty, there was Tang and grape Koolaid. The hours passed quickly. Soon it was 11:30 and time to retire.
I need to add that my minidress created the optical illusion that I am four wide in the middle. I am not. Lastly, I should have taken more pictures at the convention.
To Wilde to Wed by Eloisa James
Georgette Heyer was my introduction to romance novels, so I established a high standard for romance from the start. As a teen, my favorite Heyer was Devil's Cub with the wicked Lord Vidal in his silks and wig shooting highwaymen. I loved the Georgian era with men in their wigs, frock coats, and high heels. A man dressed in silk maintaining his masculine confidence is enticing.
With her Georgian novel, To Wilde To Wed, Ms. James created a hero in Lord North just as captivating as Lord Vidal. Lord North was introduced in Wilde In Love, Lord North had been the stiffly formal gentleman dressed in the height of fashion. However, the cruel jilting by his fiance changed his priorities. Now two years later, he is returning home from army service in America. To find his former fiance and a child rumored to be his living in the family seat. But the messy, maladroit nanny is far different from the fashionable beauty to whom he had been engaged.
Miss Diana Belgrave had felt like a fraud during her engagement. She was not future duchess material. Her mother was the driving force behind the picture perfect society beauty that captured the eye of Lord North. The broken engagement saved both Lord North and herself much unhappiness, but she regretted the manner in which she ended the engagement.
Thus begins an enchanting romance. There are wit and humor. There is a delicious scene involving Lord North and his valet, which was reminiscent of a scene in The Devil's Cub. However, Ms. James created a much more comical scene involving a pair of saffron pantaloons. Admittedly Ms. Heyer could generate a lot of sexual tension with a kiss, she did not write erotic scenes. Happily, Ms. James has provided with robustly sexual interactions between the hero and heroine. This book was a pleasure to read from beginning to end. Fortunately, Ms. James is not done with the Wilde family. There is a third book coming in July, and I already have it on pre-order.

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
Social media has been buzzing about this book for months. Indeed, the buzz has been so loud, it might have come from a locust swarm of biblical proportions. So, of course, it could not possibly live up to its promise?
Yes, it could. The Kiss Quotient lives up to its reputation. It is scorching hot erotic while telling a sweet love story. It features the hottest Beta hero ever in Michael Phan. It honestly portrays the difficulties of the heroine and her Asperger's.
The heroine, Stella, has difficulties with relationships. Her three sexual experiences had been ghastly. So she decides to find someone to teach her how to be good at sex. She finds Michael Phan, an escort to wealthy, older women. Michael is beautiful, and he is good at sex, very good at sex.
Michael is also kind and sensitive. Stella knows that Michael is the only person she want's as her sex teacher. Despite his reluctance to develop a relationship with a client, Michael cannot turn Stella down. But both Michael and Stella have insecurities and secrets. Stella does not want Michael to know about her autism. Yet Michael's insecurities might be the undoing of their relationship.
The author calls this novel a Pretty Woman reversal, but Pretty Woman didn't have the depth and emotion of this novel. Ms. Hoang sells herself short with the comparison. This story is much more romantic and sexier than Pretty Woman.

High incidence of disease recurrence in the brain and leptomeninges in patients with nonsmall cell lung carcinoma after response to gefitinib. Academic Article
BACKGROUND: Gefitinib is an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that induces an early and dramatic response in 10% of patients with advanced nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Long- term outcome and patterns of disease recurrence after response have not been described. METHODS: The authors evaluated 139 patients with NSCLC treated with gefitinib at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (New York, NY) between 1998 and 2002. They focused on patterns of disease recurrence, risk of brain metastases (BM) and leptomeningeal metastasis (LM), and long-term outcome after initial response to gefitinib. RESULTS: Of the 139 patients treated with gefitinib, 21 (15%) achieved a partial response. The median age of the responders was 64 years (range, 38-87 years), the median Karnofsky performance score was 80 (range, 60-90), and 4 of the patients were men. All responders had adenocarcinoma. The central nervous system (CNS) was the initial site of disease recurrence in 7 (33%) patients (BM in 5 and LM in 2). In 9 (43%) patients, the initial site of disease recurrence was the lung and in 1 it was the liver and bone. Four (57%) of the patients with disease recurrence in the CNS had lung disease under control. BM also developed in 2 patients who had initial disease recurrence in the lungs. The actuarial 5-year incidence of CNS metastases was 60%. The median overall survival periods were 15 months and 23 months for patients with and without CNS metastases, respectively (P = 0.24). CONCLUSIONS: The CNS was a frequent site of disease recurrence in patients with NSCLC after an initial response to gefitinib, regardless of disease control in the lungs. Patients should be carefully monitored for neurologic symptoms. Intrinsic resistance of metastatic clones, incomplete CNS penetrance of the drug, and longer survival are possible explanations for this high incidence.

Project Lead the Way Launch is designed for kindergarten through fifth grade, students become problem solvers. Students use structured approaches, like the engineering design process. They apply STEM knowledge, skills, and habits of mind, and discover that trying different approaches and solutions is an essential part of the learning process. As teachers and students learn and discover together, education becomes more engaging and meaningful for everyone.
Structure and Function: Exploring Design Students discover the design process and how engineers influence their lives. They explore structure and function by identifying products around them designed by engineers, asking questions engineers might ask as they design products, and determining the structure and function of items. Working in small groups, students design, build, and test a structure from available materials to withstand a force. Students apply newly acquired knowledge and skills as they utilize the design process to design, sketch, build, test, and reflect on a new tool design.
Structure and Function: Human Body Students explore the relationship between structure and function in the human body. They examine major structures, or organs, within the body and investigate how the structure of each organ is related to its function. Once students establish an understanding of basic structure and function in the body, they take a deeper look at the functions of bone. Students assemble a skeleton and create a model X-ray of a hand. They act as scientists to perform an inquiry investigation to understand why fingers are made up of more than one bone. Finally, each student works through an engineering design process to design and build a cast to aid healing of a broken bone.
Animals and Algorithms Students explore the nature of computers and the ways in which humans control and use technology. Starting with a computer-free activity, students learn about the sequential nature of computer programs. Students apply this knowledge to the domain of science when they design a simple algorithm about an animal in its habitat. Using an age-appropriate programming environment, students use their newly developed programming skills to turn their algorithm into a short animation. Through this work, students come to understand that computing is a collaborative activity that can be used to create digital artifacts pertaining to any area of interest.
Light and Sound Students investigate light and sound, including vibration from sound waves and the effect of different materials on the path of a beam of light. After students develop understandings of light and sound, they are challenged to design a model to solve a design problem. Students use the design process to sketch, build, test, and reflect on a device that uses light or sound to communicate over a distance.
Animal Adaptations In this exploration of animal adaptations, students are presented with the problem of preparing an ideal traveler for a visit to an extreme environment and designing the ideal shoe for this traveler to wear in this environment. Students learn what it means for an organism to be adapted to its environment and how different adaptations can be categorized. Through various investigations, students explore adaptations for protection, camouflage, food obtainment, and locomotion. Students combine all of their knowledge of plant and animal adaptations with their understanding of the extreme environment to prepare their travelers and design their shoes.
Animated Storytelling Through this exploration of both storytelling and animation, students are presented with the problem of arranging moving images and sounds to depict a story. Students learn that computers need specific instructions written in a language that the computer can understand. Students develop an understanding of events as triggers that make computer programs carry out instructions. Combining fundamental ideas in computer science with story-building skills from language arts, students create animations that show characters, settings, actions, and events in a short story of their own creation. The programming environment i which students create these stories is appropriate for emerging readers and offers an appropriately scaffolded environment for piecing together logical steps to produce and animation.
Materials Science: Properties of Matter In this exploration of materials science, students investigate and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties, including color, texture, and heat conduction. After analyzing data from materials testing, students apply their knowledge and skills to determine the best material to solve a design problem. Students analyze how well the model solved the problem and determine improvements that could be made to their designs.
The Changing Earth Students explore how the surface of the Earth is always changing. They are introduced to different kinds of maps and explore how these maps convey different kinds of information about the world in which we live, including where water is found on Earth. Students investigate the different forces that shape the surface of the Earth and design solutions to limit the impact of erosion on a fictional community.
Grids and Games In this exploration combining mathematics and computers, students investigate numerical relationships while learning about the sequence and structure required in computer programs. Starting with computer-free activities and moving to tablet-based challenges, students apply addition and subtraction strategies to make characters move on a grid. Using skills and knowledge gained from these activities, students work together in groups to design and develop a game in which a player interacts with objects on a tablet screen. Students make extensive use of logic as they create a working game using an event-based model.
Stability and Motion: Forces and Interactions Students explore simple machines such as wheel and axles, levers, the inclined plane, and more as they investigate the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. Additionally, students explore magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other through a hands-on project. Finally, students apply their knowledge of mechanisms and magnetic interactions as part of a solution to a design problem.
Variation of Traits Students investigate the differences between inherited genetic traits and traits that are learned or influenced by environment. Students explore the phenomena that offspring may express different traits than parents as they learn about dominant and recessive genes. Students use what they learn to predict inheritance patterns of plants through multiple generations and investigate how predicted outcomes compare to experimental results.
Programming Patterns Students begin to move beyond basic sequential computer programs to discover the power of modularity and abstraction. Starting with computer-free activities and progressing to programming in a blocks-based language on a tablet, students learn how to think computationally about a problem. They gain appreciation for the powerful computing practice of reducing programmatic solutions so they are generic enough to be reused in a variety of specific circumstances. Building on this transformational way of thinking, students create a final program using modular functions and branching logic.
Energy: Collisions Student exploration of mechanisms includes investigations of how mechanisms change energy by transferring direction, speed, type of movement, and force. Students discover a variety of ways potential energy can be stored and released as kinetic energy. Citing evidence, students explain the relationship between the speed of an object and the energy of that object. They also predict the transfer of energy as a result of a collision between two objects. As students solve the problem for this module, they apply their knowledge and skills related to energy transfer to collisions to develop a vehicle restraint system.
Input/Output: Human Brain Students discover how signals passing from cell to cell allow us to receive stimuli from the outside world, get this information to the brain for processing, and then send out a signal to generate a response. Students investigate how we take in information through the senses and where the information is processed in the brain. Students work as part of a team to design, plan, and create a video or podcast to raise awareness about concussions and educate children as to how concussions can either be identified early or prevented altogether.
Input/Output: Computer Systems In this exploration of how computers work, students are encouraged to make analogies between the parts of the human body and parts that make up a computer. Students develop a notion of the computer as a machine that takes input, processes information using defined instructions, and produces output. With strong connections to the fourth-grade Human Brain module, students investigate reaction time as a measure of nervous system function. Students apply the knowledge and skills gained throughout the activities to build their own reaction time measurement devices on tablets.
Infection: Detection Students explore transmission of infection, agents of disease, and mechanisms the body uses to stay healthy. Students design and run an experiment related to limiting the spread of germs and apply results to propose appropriate prevention methods. When presented with a fictional disease outbreak scenario, students examine evidence to deduct the agent of infection, the likely source of the outbreak, and the path of transmission through this fictional school.
Infection: Modeling and Simulation Of all the things computers can do, one of the most helpful is the ability to process a lot of information very quickly. Students discover this and other powerful ideas about computing as they investigate models and simulations. Exploration begins with students acting out a simulation in which they are agents following rules of a given model. Applying their new understandings, they program their own models and collect data by running simulations with different parameters.
Robotics and Automation Student exploration of robotics includes ways that robots are used in today's world and the impact of their use on society and the environment. Students learn about a variety of robotic components as they build and test mobile robots that may be controlled remotely. They design problem provides an opportunity for students to apply their robotic skills and knowledge to solve a real-world problem related to environmental disaster cleanup.

The Timberwolves will host Saginaw Valley State Thursday (February 28) in the regular season finale. Tip-off is set for 8:00 p.m.


Disney said there is no truth to speculation by a stock analyst that it might sell its 10 ABC-owned TV stations if it continues to unload distribution assets to invest in content, such as Disney's acquisitions of Pixar Animation Studios and kids' online virtual world Club Penguin.
The nine-page investment research note dated Wednesday estimated that Disney would "hypothetically" get $4.8 billion for its broadcast-TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and seven other big cities. That applied an earnings multiple of 11 to the $440 million of trailing EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, debt and amortization) cash flow generated by ABC stations, although other stock analysts have been lowering valuations to 10 and 9 multiples, which would result in a lower price tag.
David Miller, who wrote the Caris report, said Friday that his job is to anticipate corporate moves, adding that his note on Disney O&Os was not based on industry buzz, but rather extrapolating Disney's current strategic thinking. He noted that Disney already shed its radio-stations business.
Disney is a leading owner of basic-cable networks, including ESPN, which the Caris report did not see being unloaded.
There is no precedent for a major broadcast network operating without a foundation of O&O TV stations as an anchor in major cities, but there is no regulatory obstacle. The Caris report said Disney would simply require buyers of its O&O stations to maintain ABC network affiliation.
In recent years, network broadcasters have been selling some of their TV stations, shrinking their O&O groups, although not in the biggest cities.
For example, NBC Universal is selling Miami NBC outlet WTVJ to Post-Newsweek Stations. And private-equity investor Oak Hill Capital Partners bought eight Fox O&Os for $1.1 billion earlier this year.
In a May appearance at an investors' conference, Disney president and CEO Bob Iger -- himself an ABC alum -- said the broadcasting business itself isn't attractive, but it becomes important when feeding content to Disney's TV-program-production/distribution business in Hollywood.

In this video, Trevor Tom, Co-Owner of Genesis Flow, breaks down a new Loaded Flow. Loaded Flow is simply defined as a continuous and seamless sequence of whole body loaded movements done with rhythm and timing and the aim is to keep momentum alive. The Flow in this video will utilize the ViPR, and is 3 movements that get us moving in the frontal and transverse planes.
Holding the ViPR with two hands, begin to make a circling motion around your head. As the ViPR moves to one side of the body, shift your hips the other way. This will act to counterbalance the shift and help create efficiency in the movement. Be patient if you can't get the ViPR back behind your head, and progress your ROM slowly. Now as the ViPR travels around and back down to the starting position, began to decelerate the load. Once at your end, ROM reverse directions and continue the other way.
Hold the ViPR at head height. Initiate the movement by stepping to the right and pressing with your right hand which will shift the ViPR perpendicular to the ground. Continue to press until your right arm comes to full length. Time your hip shift and reach to finish at the same time. Reciprocate the movement from side to side.
Holding the ViPR at head height, initiate the movement by turning and stepping to the left. Guide the ViPR across the left leg with a long reach of the right arm. At end ROM, now redirect the momentum of the ViPR by pulling up and guiding it back. The movement will reciprocate back and forth.
The Flow is connecting the movements together and putting it together like a puzzle. There are a variety of ways you can create a Flow with your movements, the secret is to put them together so you can keep momentum alive. In this Flow we've created this pattern … Halo, Block, Block, Chop.

Which Teams Are in the NFL Playoffs 2020? Updated AFC, NFC Standings and Bracket after Week 10
By Dan Cancian On 11/16/20 at 7:00 AM EST
Sports NFL Pittsburgh Steelers Arizona Cardinals Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The first 10 weeks of the NFL season are in the history books and a clearer picture of which teams could make the NFL playoffs is beginning to emerge. The Pittsburgh Steelers remain the only undefeated team in the NFL and currently hold the No. 1 seed in the AFC, while the race for the top spot in the NFC is more crowded, with the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints both at 7-2.
Meanwhile, three of four NFC West teams currently hold a postseason berth.
Here's what the playoff bracket looks like after 10 weeks of the season.

LeBron James, NFL Twitter React to DeAndre Hopkins Stunning Catch
Nyheim Hines Pulls Off Feat No Other NFL Player Has Done This Season
The only undefeated team left in the NFL, the Steelers tightened their grasp on the AFC North with a 36-10 win over division rivals Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon. The Steelers currently hold a one-game lead over the Kansas City Chiefs in the race to the AFC's solitary bye and home field advantage, but their remaining six games are tricky. Pittsburgh still has three matchups against its divisional rivals on the slate, as well as a trip to Buffalo to face the 7-3 Bills and a home game against the 6-3 Indianapolis Colts to come.

Kansas City Chiefs (8-1)
The Chiefs have the second-best record in the AFC but face a very difficult schedule when they return from their Week 10 bye. All four of the reigning Super Bowl champions' remaining road games are against teams with a winning record, starting with back-to-back trips to Las Vegas and Tampa Bay. On the other hand, it's difficult to see the Chiefs fail to win any of their remaining home games against the Denver Broncos, Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Chargers.
Buffalo Bills (7-3)
The Bills slipped to 7-3 following a dramatic loss in the final seconds against Arizona on Sunday but remain top of the AFC East with a half-a-game margin over the Miami Dolphins and a 2.5-game lead over the New England Patriots.
Buffalo hosts the Dolphins in Week 17 and travels to New England a week earlier, but the game that could define the Bills' postseason aspirations comes in Week 14 when they host the Steelers.
The Colts took control of the AFC South after defeating the Tennessee Titans on the road on Thursday Night Football, but their remaining schedule is gruelling. Indianapolis hosts the 7-2 Green Bay Packers next week and still faces four divisional matchups, with trips to Las Vegas and Pittsburgh in Week 14 and Week 16 sandwiched in between.
Las Vegas Raiders (6-3)
The Raiders have gone about their business quietly but their win against the Denver Broncos on Sunday was the third in a row and put them firmly in playoffs contention. At 6-3, Las Vegas has the same record as the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans, but its 4-2 conference record is better than any of the other four teams. Following a game against the Chiefs next Sunday, the Raiders schedule is relatively favorable, with road games against the Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets and Broncos still to come.
Miami Dolphins (6-3)
The Dolphins' win against the Chargers on Sunday was their fifth in a row and improved their conference record to 3-2, which currently edges out Baltimore, Cleveland and Tennessee, who all have a 4-3 conference record.
Miami, however, faces a potentially tricky end to the season, with home games against the Chiefs and the Patriots ahed of road trips to Las Vegas and Buffalo in the last two weeks of the season.
Baltimore Ravens (6-3)
With their Sunday Night Football loss to the New England Patriots, the Ravens have already lost more games through 10 weeks of the season than they did in the whole of last year, when they finished with an NFL-best 14-2.
Baltimore currently holds the final wildcard spot in the AFC and has to play all its divisional rivals, as well as the Titans before the end of the season.
The Packers tightened their stranglehold on the NFC North with a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday and hold the tiebreaker over the New Orleans Saints in the race for the NFC's only bye by virtue of defeating the Saints earlier this season.
New Orleans Saints (7-2)
The Saints improved to 7-2 after defeating the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, their sixth consecutive win. The Saints have a relatively easy schedule over the final six weeks of the season, when they face five teams with a losing record and host the Chiefs.
Arizona Cardinals (6-3)
The Cardinals moved to the top of the NFC West on Sunday, following a dramatic 32-30 win over the Buffalo Bills courtesy of DeAndre Hopkins' stunning catch with two seconds left. Arizona is now 6-3, the same record as divisional record Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks, but has a 3-0 against its divisional opponents, the best record in the NFC West. The Cardinals face the Seahawks and Rams over the next three weeks, either side of a trip to New England.
Philadelphia Eagles (3-5-1)
Despite a road loss against the New York Giants on Sunday, the Eagles somehow remained top of the dismal NFC East. As the only division leader with a losing record, Philadelphia's only chance of playing football in January is winning its division, but the Eagles face a difficult remaining schedule which includes trips to Green Bay and Arizona, as well as a home game against New Orleans.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-3)
The Bucs got back to winning ways with a 46-23 rout of the Carolina Panthers on Sunday and trail only the 7-2 Saints in the NFC South, to whom they have lost twice this season. Tampa Bay faces back-to-back home games against the Rams and the Chiefs over the next two weeks, before facing four teams with losing records in the remaining four games of the regular season.

The Rams overtook the Seahawks in second place in the NFC West with a 23-16 win on Sunday. Along with the Cardinals, the duo are both 6-3, but while Arizona is 3-0 against divisional opponents, the Rams are 1-1. Los Angeles, however, still has four games against divisional rivals and a matchup against NFC opponents Tampa Bay left over the final seven weeks of the season.
The third NFC West team with a 6-3 record, the Seahawks are holding the final wildcard beth in the NFC. Seattle is 1-2 against divisional opponents, but hasn't lost to NFC teams outside of its division and five of its seven remaining games are against teams with a losing record.

Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer (GIFT)
Various techniques constitute assisted reproduction, one of which is gamete intra-fallopian transfer (GIFT). The first example of GIFT involved primates during the 1970s; however, the technology was unsuccessful until 1984 when an effective GIFT method was invented by Ricardo Asch at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center and the procedure resulted in the first human pregnancy. The GIFT technique was created in hopes of generating an artificial insemination process that mimicked the physiological sequences of normal conception.

"The Developmental Capacity of Nuclei Taken from Intestinal Epithelium Cells of Feeding Tadpoles" (1962), by John B. Gurdon
In 1962 researcher John Bertrand Gurdon at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England, conducted a series of experiments on the developmental capacity of nuclei taken from intestinal epithelium cells of feeding tadpoles. In the experiments, Gurdon conducted nuclear transplantation, or cloning, of differentiated cells, or cells that have already specialized to become one cell type or another, in tadpoles. Gurdon's experiment showed that differentiated adult cells could be induced to an undifferentiated state, where they could once again become multiple cell types.
Ignacio Vives Ponseti (1914-2009)
Ignacio Vives Ponseti developed a noninvasive method for treating congenital club foot in the US during the late 1940s. Congenital club foot is a birth deformity in which one or both of an infant's feet are rotated inward beneath the ankle, making normal movement rigid and painful. Ponseti developed a treatment method, later called the Ponseti method, that consisted of a series of manipulations and castings of the club foot performed in the first few months of life.

Ginger as a Treatment for Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy by Teraporn Vutyavanich, Theerajana Kraisarin, and Rung-Aroon Ruangsri (1998–2001)
In 1998 and 1999, Teraporn Vutyavanich, Theerajana Kraisarin, and Rung-Aroon Ruangsri in Thailand showed that ginger alleviated nausea in pregnant women. Vutyavanich and his colleagues found that the group of pregnant women who took ginger capsules reported significantly fewer nausea symptoms and vomiting episodes than the group who only received the placebo. Vutyavanich and his team's study at Chiang Mai University in Chiang Mai, Thailand, was one of the earliest to investigate and support the use of ginger as an effective treatment for relieving pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting.

"Of Pregnancy and Progeny" (1980), by Norbert Freinkel
Norbert Freinkel's lecture Of Pregnancy and Progeny was published by the American Diabetes Association's journal Diabetes in December of 1980. In the lecture, Freinkel argued that pregnancy changes the way that the female body breaks down and uses food. Through experiments that involved pregnant women as well as infants, Freinkel established the body's maternal metabolism and how it affects both the mother and the infant. Freinkel's main focus of research in the latter part of his life was diabetes, specifically in pregnant women.

"Alternative Sources of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells" (2005), by Leon Kass and the President's Council on Bioethics
Human pluripotent stem cells are valued for their potential to form numerous specialized cells and for their longevity. In the US, where a portion of the population is opposed to destruction of human embryos to obtain stem cells, what avenues are open to scientists for obtaining pluripotent cells that do not offend the moral sensibilities of a significant number of citizens?

This Is my Favorite Bulletproof Glass video. I say that even after the Atlas Stone and Thor's Hammer came out.
Wonder if you made a giant crossbow with that giant dart, would it work? Itd have to be huge lol and could you get it to beat terminal velocity to propel it through a log or even bulletproof glass?
I wonder if the manufacturer of the glass would pay you to pull this video?

124 arrested by Polk County detectives during 'Operation Santa's Naughty List'
By Kellie Cowan and Jordan Bowen
PGA golfer, Disney worker arrested in sex sting
Jordan Bowen reports
LAKELAND, Fla. - More than 100 people are facing charges after the latest undercover operation targeting human trafficking in Polk County. Investigators are colorfully calling it, "Operation Santa's Naughty List."
The six-day sting targeted prostitution, human trafficking and child predators – busting 124 people. The charges included: solicitation, using a computer to lure a child and traveling to meet a minor for sex.
Among those arrested include: 53 prostitutes or victims of human trafficking; 46 johns; 7 child predators; and 18 others were arrested for other charges, including aiding, transporting and deriving proceeds from prostitution, according to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.
During a Wednesday morning press conference, Judd explained counselors were immediately available for those who appeared to be human trafficking victims.
"Two young ladies never had a criminal arrest," he said. "They immediately agreed to those services. Five others, we have a real strong possibility that they are currently trafficking victims."
Judd added that the "laws of the state of Florida are beautiful." The victims who accept the help and resources can have their prostitution past wiped out from the court system and "live out their lives as citizens."
He said out of the group that was arrested, there were a total of 443 previous felony charges and 571 misdemeanor charges. Judd said 30 suspects told detectives they were married, and one said he was engaged.
The sheriff said one suspect, 56-year-old Rodney Davis, even showed up "butt-naked." He worked as a Disney security guard.
"He didn't have a stitch of clothes on but he was carrying a shirt. He walked into the house," Judd said. "He was proud of himself. That's up for debate."
Investigators said the shirt he could be seen holding in the video was his Disney uniform.
Judd mentioned other details from the operation:
Detectives charged those arrested with a total of 78 felonies and 148 misdemeanors
7 of the arrested were from other states (Hartsfield, SC; Williamsburg, MO; Conyers, GA; Victoria, TX; Easton, PA; New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA) and one person was visiting from Ontario, Canada
30 were from Polk County.
Detectives seized cocaine, heroin, Xanax, methamphetamine, hydrocodone, marijuana, marijuana resin, and prescription drugs from those arrested during the operation.
The oldest person arrested was 70 years old, while the youngest was 19 years old.
18 receive government assistance.
"That always fires me up. I don't' mind paying my taxes…but if you're well enough to go out and do this, you ought to be well enough to go out and work," Judd said.
Two victims are suspects who brought their children to the undercover sting -- ages 3 and 5.
"They brought their children while they turned tricks," Judd said.
One of the ladies who showed up had a baby just 10 days ago, he added. Another was pregnant.
The seven child predator suspects who were arrested are all men. Five traveled to the operation with the intent to "sexually batter a child," Judd said. Two others used a computer to communicate with a teenager.
The sheriff said they believed they were talking to a 13-year-old or a 14-year-old -- either a boy or a girl -- but, in fact, they were speaking to an undercover detective.
One brought "equipment" to use on the fictitious 14-year-old boy, and one other suspect brought a Viagra pill without a proper prescription, Judd said.
"So that's another criminal charge," he said.
Full details on the seven child predator suspects can be found below:
Anthony Gavin, 33, of Davenport: He thought he was chatting online with a 14-year-old boy when he said, "I don't wanna be labeled a pedophile." Gavin brought condoms to the location and when he was arrested, he told detectives that he was there, "because I'm stupid."
Pierre Alvarez, 21, of Davenport, Florida: He believed he was communicating online with a 12-year-old girl. He sent nude photos of himself and discussed what he would like to do to the girl. Alvarez rode his bicycle to meet the girl and had a condom in his pocket when he was arrested.
Demitrus Gonzalez, 26, of Davenport, Florida: He contacted an undercover detective, thinking that he was chatting with a 14-year-old boy. Gonzalez drove to the operation and brought lubricant, condoms, and Xanax with him. While being arrested, he bit a Lakeland Police Officer on the hand.
Joshua Bryant, 23, from Brandon, Florida: He thought he was talking to a 14-year-old boy online and sent three nude photos and tried to arrange to pick up the boy. Bryant told the boy to sneak out of the house and that he could hide at Bryant's house if he was reported missing. After arriving at the location, Bryant got suspicious and collided with an undercover vehicle as he was trying to drive away.
Benjamin Castaneda, 24, from Orlando, Florida: He made contact with what he thought was a 13-year-old girl online. In his texts, Castaneda wasted no time telling the undercover detective what he wanted to do with the girl. He drove to the location and arrived less than two hours after making initial contact and was arrested.
Matthew Minardi, 22, from Palm Harbor, Florida: He began a sexually explicit conversation via social media with who he thought were two different 13-year-old girls, but both were actually undercover detectives. Minardi also sent a nude image of himself. He did not travel to the operation location, but was located and arrested by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office
William Stemmermann, 53, from Kissimmee, Florida: chatted with and called an undercover detective, thinking she was a 13-year-old girl. He attempted to arrange to meet and requested photos to be sent to him. Stemmermann did not travel to the operation location but was located and arrested in Kissimmee.
It's the second time this year the Polk County Sheriff's Office nabbed more than 100 offenders in under a week. In May, more than 150 suspects were arrested in a similar undercover operation.
Police departments in Lakeland, Haines City, Winter Haven, Bartow and Auburndale assisted in the undercover sting.
Florida is the country's third largest hub for human trafficking. Last year, the Department of Children and Families received more than 2,600 reports of commercial sexual exploitation of minors – leading detectives to identify more than 400 child victims.
Near the end of the press conference, Judd said there will be another sting.
"We'll put more people in jail," he said. "We're going to lock you up if you come to this county and violate the law and take advantage of these ladies."

The Penguin English Library Edition of The Time Machine by H. G. Wells
'Great shapes like big machines rose out of the dimness, and cast grotesque black shadows, in which dim spectral Morlocks sheltered from the glare'
Chilling, prophetic and hugely influential, The Time Machine sees a Victorian scientist propel himself into the year 802,701 AD, where he is delighted to find that suffering has been replaced by beauty and contentment in the form of the Eloi, an elfin species descended from man. But he soon realizes that they are simply remnants of a once-great culture - now weak and living in terror of the sinister Morlocks lurking in the deep tunnels, who threaten his very return home. H. G. Wells defined much of modern science fiction with this 1895 tale of time travel, which questions humanity, society, and our place on Earth.
The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

The period is closed anyway, in spite of the warning. This is normal behavior.
There are genuinely unprocessed rows in GL_INTERFACE table. In this case, the period can be reopened and the journal import executed again to import the unprocessed lines.
There are no transactions in the GL_INTERFACE Table for the period in question. The program is displaying an incorrect message even when the GL_INTERFACE table has zero records.
There are "Processed" transactions in the GL_INTERFACE Table which Journal Import has not deleted. The journals however are created in General Ledger.
The sql used in GLOCCP includes a comparison between the accounting_date in the interface and the start and end date in the period, so the issue may occur if the accounting date is outside the start and end date that it has been placed in. This would only occur if the calendar had been changed but the gl_date_period_map had not.

Jacques Momha (born 7 August 1982) is a Cameroonian former professional footballer who played as a left back.

Club career
Born in Edéa, Momha began his senior career as an 18-year-old in France at RC Strasbourg, spending the vast majority of his spell associated to the reserves, however, and also being loaned to Stade Lavallois of Ligue 2 in the 2005–06 season. He moved to Vitória de Guimarães in July 2006, being sparingly played as the Minho team moved straight from the second division into a third place in the Primeira Liga in the 2007–08 campaign.

After having established himself in the starting line-up, Momha left Vitória in mid-January 2009, signing for Turkish club Gençlerbirliği SK. The following year, in the same month, he joined fellow Süper Lig side Manisaspor.

There are more indications of military protection for the Bolsonaro coup leaders
According to the reconstruction of the US media, "when senior officials of the administration of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva arrived at the Army headquarters on Sunday night with the aim of guaranteeing the arrest of the insurgents in the camp (established in front of that headquarters) ), they found themselves facing tanks and three military lines."
That act of protection, "which Lula da Silva government officials say gave hundreds of supporters time to escape arrest, is one of several indications of a troubling pattern that authorities are now investigating as evidence of alleged collusion between the military, police (from the Federal District) and thousands of rioters who invaded the institutions".
The same pattern, according to the newspaper, followed "the change in the security plan in the face of the attackers gathered outside the federal buildings," in addition to "the inaction and fraternization of the police when they began to enter the buildings, as well as the presence from a high command of the (state) military police who had told his superiors that he was on vacation."
The US newspaper article is based on interviews with more than 20 senior officials from Lula da Silva's administration and judiciary, protest organizers and participants, while including hitherto unreported details about the five-hour attack. that shook the largest country in Latin America.
If the purge of Bolsonarists in the security forces emerges as an unavoidable objective for the new administration, a similar operation has already begun in the public media system.
The president dismissed the management of all the public media – which came from the previous government – as a result of their treatment of the takeover of the three public powers in Brasilia. While the private media spoke of "coup leaders", "extremists" and even "terrorists", the state media described the Bolsonaro hordes as "protesters".
The decision, adopted on Friday night but announced yesterday, includes the appointment of journalist Kariane Costa as president of the Brazilian Communication Company (EBC), on which key outlets such as the news agency Agencia Brasil, TV Brasil and the National Radio station.
The measure supposes the opening of a transition and reorganization process in the EBC that will last 30 days, reported the Brazilian Presidency in a statement.
The local press highlighted that the direction of these outlets was still in the hands of officials appointed by the previous president, Jair Bolsonaro, whose supporters stormed Congress, the presidential palace and the headquarters of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) on January 8.
An official source explained that they feared even more radical coverage by the media run by people close to Bolsonaro and the possible spread of anti-democratic ideas or even technical sabotage to interrupt broadcasts and appearances by the Presidency.
The day after the assault on the three powers, the TV Brasil news broadcast statements by Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, son of the former president, which was interpreted as a provocation by politicians from the ruling Workers' Party (PT).

A portfolio of images is all well and dandy, but it's really important that your whole story is captured.

I still can't look at Jess & Andy's wedding photographs without tearing up.

Mignon & Josh got married at Corrie Lynn on a day with the most perfect light. These two are completely in love with each other and Josh couldn't stop staring at his bride. Also, their main meal was chicken chow mein. Best ever.
Cam & Caleb might be my favourite people to photograph. They share a love so sweet and kind, and being able to be a part of their farm wedding was an absolute privilege. Their wedding was delightful and proof of a happy marriage to come.
Every wedding is different, but I approach them all the same way. With a whole lotta heart.
It's all about my couples, their story and their moments.
