Is Melissa McCarthy really going blind? That's the absurd and baseless claim in one of this week's tabloids. Gossip Cop, however, can confirm there's nothing wrong with the actress's vision.
The latest issue of Globe features a photo of McCarthy with what appears to be a broken blood vessel in her eye, and that was enough for the tabloid to claim the actress is losing her sight. The unreliable magazine says, "A medical expert fears the shocking issue is a sign she's going blind from a secret illness." The doctor quoted by the outlet, however, has never treated the actress.
"Broken blood vessels can be an indicator of something else that's more serious, like diabetes, which could lead to loss of sight," says the medical professional, who's talking about broken blood vessels in general and doesn't know McCarthy. The doctor adds, "Diabetes, high blood-pressure, a blood-clotting disorder, heart attack, stroke – if you're not doing something about it, they can kill." Once again, the doctor is speaking in broad terms that don't necessarily apply to the actress.
Based on nothing but the photo of McCarthy's broken blood vessel, the doctor speculates "she will be fighting another uphill battle to keep her sight and avoid ailments that lead to certain death." The medical professional adds, "If the blood vessels exploding from something serious, like diabetes, she's not only risking her eye sight, she's putting her life at risk."
The magazine's sensationalized story is simply ridiculous. The Globe's doctor, described as a "diet and weight loss specialist," is telling the publication what could theoretically happen in the most extreme and rare cases of a broken blood vessel in the eye. However, a certified ophthalmologist wrote an article for Livestrong explaining that broken eye capillaries are "usually not indicative of any underlying disease." The eye doctor further explained that things such as "eye rubbing" and "coughing" can be enough to make a blood vessel burst.
The tabloid's article gets even less legitimate from there. The outlet's photo of McCarthy's eye was taken on the set of her upcoming movie The Kitchen. It seems possible, if not very likely, that the actress's broken blood vessel isn't real, but instead being used for her character in the film. Regardless, a rep for the actress, who unlike the magazine's doctor has a real relationship with the star, dismisses the phony speculation she's going blind.
As for the additional claims about the comedic actress possibly getting "diabetes" and "putting her life at risk," McCarthy recently lost 75 pounds and is thinner than she's ever been. The actress reportedly shed the weight with a high-protein and low-carb diet, and her risk of developing diabetes has obviously reduced drastically.

Q: CSS Animations - set duration on responsive animations I'm trying to learn CSS animations and one thing I can't figure out and couldnt find on the web is how to set the proper duration.
I'm trying to have my website responsive therefore the font size would change depending on the size of the view. I have the following code so far:
@media screen {
.EntranceDiv{
    top: 40%;
    position: relative;
}

h1 {
    font-size: 4rem;
    margin: 0px;
}

.helloworld{
    overflow: hidden; /* Ensures the content is not revealed until the animation */
    border-right: .15em solid #D9FAFF; /* The typwriter cursor */
    white-space: nowrap; /* Keeps the content on a single line */
    margin: 0 auto; /* Gives that scrolling effect as the typing happens */
    letter-spacing: .8em;
    display: inline-block;
    animation:
    typing initial steps(30, end),
    blink-caret .5s step-end infinite;
}

@keyframes blink-caret {
    from, to { border-color: transparent }
    50% { border-color: #D9FAFF }
  }
@keyframes typing {
    from { width: 0 }
    to { width: 65% }
  }
}

My problem is that with the changes in the font size, the animation either goes for too long or for too short and then the whole thing just pops on the screen. What is a good way of setting duration for responsive animations

A: Your main issue here is that the width you set is relative to parent container so it has no relation with the content of your inline-block element. You need to find a way to correctly set the width of the element.
Since you cannot make a transition to width:auto, here is an idea where I duplicate the content and I use a pseudo-element with absolute position. The first content will define the width and will be hidden and the second one will be visible and I can stretch to fit the defined width using left/right properties:

h1 {
  font-size: 4rem;
  margin: 0px;
}

.helloworld {
  letter-spacing: .8em;
  display: inline-block;
  position:relative;
  visibility:hidden;
  white-space: nowrap;
}
.helloworld:after {
  content:attr(data-content);
  display:block;
  visibility:visible;
  overflow: hidden;
  white-space: nowrap;
  position:absolute;
  top:0;
  left:0;
  bottom:0;
  right:100%;
  border-right: .15em solid #D9FAFF;
   animation: typing 2s steps(30, end) forwards, blink-caret .5s step-end infinite;
}

@keyframes blink-caret {
  from,
  to {
    border-color: transparent
  }
  50% {
    border-color: #D9FAFF
  }
}

@keyframes typing {
  from {
    right:100%
  }
  to {
    right: 0%
  }
}

}

Eco-friendly furniture is more popular than ever, and rightly so. Here we look more in to arguably the most popular type - 'reclaimed' and give the 10 reasons why it makes such great furniture.
Firstly, what is reclaimed furniture?
Reclaimed furniture is made from wood which has had a previous use. The wood often comes from old buildings which are being demolished, but can also come from other very interesting places, with old fishing boats a particularly popular source in recent years.
Sadly, in previous decades old wood would often be disposed of or burnt, which was a terrible waste. Thankfully though, particularly in the past decade, both the furniture industry and consumers have become much more aware and appreciative of the merits of eco-friendly pieces of furniture, leading to a surge in supply and demand.
Today, all manner of furniture is made from reused wood, including benches, sideboards, chests of drawers, beds and much more besides.
One of the biggest plus points of all - old timber that can be redeployed to make dining tables, chairs, wardrobes and the like is a highly sustainable and eco-friendly way forward.
Thankfully, over the past few decades the world has become more and more environmentally conscious. That said, there is still much room for improvement. In Britain alone, nearly five million tons of wood is disposed of every year. Furniture made of reused wood combats the waste of perfectly good existing timber, and also avoids the need to tear down even more trees.
The popularity of reclaimed furniture has risen significantly in recent years and appears to be a style that's here to stay, rather than simply a passing trend. Great news for the planet and for households throughout the UK and beyond, who are becoming increasingly appreciative of the merits this furniture brings.
By its very nature, reused wood is usually very strong and robust – after all, it's served a previous purpose and so has already proven that it can stand the test of time. What's more, wood that's previously been used for purposes such as buildings and boats is usually hardwood, which is generally best for furniture, being tougher and more durable than softwood.
All of this means that your furniture will be strong and stable, both now and for years to come.
Reclaimed is usually cheaper than new timber. Therefore, far from paying a premium for all of the other great benefits listed in this article, you'll often find that you'll pay less for your furniture, especially compared to new hardwood equivalents.
Quite simply, it looks great, thanks to the unique texture and grain of the wood. It's a distinctive, rustic style and one that simply oozes character and charm.
When buying reclaimed furniture, you'll often be able to find out the origins of the wood. Every old piece of wood has a story to tell and it's quite remarkable when, for example, your coffee table had a previous life as part of an old Indian fishing boat, fifty years ago.
Manufactured furniture can often lack character and you may have the same dining table as ten thousand other households throughout the UK. However, with recycled wood, every single item is different, which gives you and your home a strong sense of individuality.
The 'rules' of interior design have become more flexible in recent years and it's now generally accepted that items of furniture within a bedroom, living room or kitchen don't necessarily need to match, as long as they're in the same style. This is especially true for the reclaimed look, which is incredibly flexible in this respect.
Many ranges are sourced from the Far East and, as such, your wardrobe could potentially be made from an interesting, exotic timber.
Being a natural material, wood can often move and warp, especially when it's exposed to changes in warmth and humidity. Reused wood has already aged and is therefore far less likely to do this.
We've all been there – you get a new piece of furniture and within a relatively short space of time you or the children manage to scratch or dent it. With reclaimed, the wood is already imperfect, which in turn removes the worry of it getting damaged.
Good quality furniture should last for many years and so the chances are that you'll move home with your furniture – perhaps more than once. Again, the worry of items getting knocked during the move is much reduced when you opt for reclaimed.

NANCY PELOSI DOESN'T WANT TO IMPEACH TRUMP: HE'S 'NOT WORTH IT'
Daily Caller News Foundation March 11, 2019
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi expressed opposition to filing articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Monday claiming that he is not worth the effort, despite being unfit to hold the office.
"I'm not for impeachment. This is news. I'm going to give you some news right now because I haven't said this to any press person before," Pelosi said while being interviewed by The Washington Post. "But since you asked, and I've been thinking about this: Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there's something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don't think we should go down that path, because it divides the country."
"And he's just not worth it," she continued.
Pelosi, who has been a frequent and vocal critic of the president, argued that Trump is not fit to hold the highest office in the land in any capacity. (RELATED: Nancy Pelosi Vacations In Luxurious Hawaiian Resort Amid Government Shutdown)
"No. No. I don't think he is [fit]. I mean ethically unfit. Intellectually unfit. Curiosity-wise unfit," she said. "No, I don't think he's fit to be president of the United States."

"That's up to us to make the contrast to show that this president, while he may be appealing to you on your insecurity and therefore your xenophobia, whether it's globalization or immigrants, is fighting clean air for your children to breathe, clean water for them to drink, food safety, every good thing that we should be doing that people can't do for themselves," Pelosi continued before noting that it is government's responsibility to control certain aspects of Americans' health and well-being.
The California congresswoman argued that the current political climate is the most divisive in the country's history, which is not only due to Trump himself, but can also be attributed to the Republicans in Congress who enable him.
"This is coming across too negatively. I don't usually talk about him this much," Pelosi added. "This is the most I've probably talked about him. I hardly ever talk about him. You know, it's not about him. It's about what we can do for the people to lower health-care costs, bigger paychecks, cleaner government."

Saoirse Ronan Lists Irish Abode for $1.66 Million
The Edwardian house is located in a coastal community near Dublin
By Joyce Chen
Lady Bird and soon-to-be Little Women star Saoirse Ronan is looking to part with one of her properties, a three-story home in the coastal resort community of Greystones, just about 20 miles outside of Dublin. The actress, who was born in the Bronx and raised in Ireland, recently listed her country retreat for €1.5 million, which translates into roughly $1.66 million, according to reports.
The 4,800-square-foot dwelling was built in the 1970s, and boasts five bathrooms and four (or possibly five) bedrooms. In the two years since it's been under Ronan's ownership, it has undergone a number of renovations that have left it "practical, comfortable, and aesthetically impressive all in equal measures," according to its listing.
The Edwardian-style residence is guarded in front by a set of heavy wrought iron gates that open onto a picturesque, tree-shaded drive. Fronted by a porch with unique black-and-white checkerboard tiling, the home gives off an air of classic aesthetics, with the front door opening onto a reception hall with beige stone floors, a number of heavy wood doors, and a carved wood staircase. Off to one side of the reception hall is a formal living room with an antique carved stone fireplace, and pocket doors leading into a formal dining room. Built-in bookshelves and oversized sash windows are present in both rooms; the dining room also features its own stone fireplace.
On the other side of the front hall is the modernized, open-concept galley kitchen, that spans nearly the entire depth of the house. A long white marble-topped central island dominates the space, sitting atop a baby blue wooden base that mirrors the baby blue Shaker cabinets. Patterned floor tiles help to further delineate the space, and an eccentric L-shaped wood countertop that runs along the length of the center island provides a fun six-top breakfast and snack spot.
A cozy family room with a woodstove is located at one end of the kitchen, and elsewhere on the ground floor is a small reading lounge with French doors leading to the backyard. Upstairs, the second floor boasts three en suite guest bedrooms and a separate wing for the master suite. A highlight of the master suite is the bathroom, which features patterned marble floor tiles, a luxurious deep-soaking tub, and a steam shower with white subway tiles.
The third floor, currently used as an attic, could potentially be converted into another bedroom space. Out back, the home features a sweet stone-paved dining terrace, a large yard, and a gardening shed so intricate that it almost looks like a tiny home.
Presently, Ronan spends most of her time in a three-bedroom Notting Hill house that she purchased for $1.7 million late last year.

The original dancing lady on the side of the InterContinental Hotel was first introduced in 2012 during Art Basel.
The InterContinental's general manager, Robert Hill, says the best distance to watch the dancing lady is at about a mile away.
Three judges were charged with picking the next generation of InterContential dancers. They were Miami City Ballet's Jeanette Delgado, TV personality and recording artist Jane Castro, and Miami Heat's marketing manager Clara Stroude-Vazquez.
Hotel general manager Robert Hill chats with the three judges before the audition. The judges were Miami City Ballet's Jeanette Delgado, TV personality and recording artist Jane Castro, and Miami Heat marketing manager Clara Stroude-Vasquez.
Three were chosen: Local teachers Jay Marcos and Jessica Mederos, as well as New World School of the Arts graduate Jasmine Howell, have now replaced the original dancing lady on the side of the hotel.
Miamians had mixed feelings about the InterContinental's previous display -- much like they did about a 1950s Coppertone billboard of a toddler getting her bathing suit pulled on by a dog.
South Beach resident and new mom Idalia Deshon fell firmly in anti-dancing lady camp. She can see the hotel from almost every room in her second-story apartment.
Deshon says people forget Miami is full of families, and she feels the dancing lady promoted a stereotype of her city that doesn't represent its growing arts and culture scene. From the moves seen in InterContinental auditions it's unclear how different from the old figure the new dancers will look.
The dancing lady wasn't the first female at the west end of the McArthur Causeway to ruffle feathers.
In the 1950s, there was the Coppertone girl, officially called Little Miss Coppertone. The image of a sun-tanned toddler with a black cocker spaniel pulling down the back of her bathing suit is now ubiquitous, but her first appearance in mainstream advertising is believed to have taken place in downtown Miami.
The Coppertone girl was first seen as an almost 30-foot sign on Biscayne Boulevard, and, like the dancing lady, it was pretty high-tech for its day. The sign moved as the dog pulled the girl's suit up and down, exposing her tan line and pale bum. Miami historian Paul George says at the time there were a lot of churches in downtown Miami, and the Coppertone Girl didn't sit well with several clergy and parishioners.
But he says attitudes shifted in the '60s as Miami -- and the country -- changed.
The InterContinental's general manager, Robert Hill, says the hotel has gotten a few complaints about its dancing lady. However, he also notes last year was one of the hotel's best in terms of occupancy.
As the original dancing lady also fades into Miami's history, at least one person will be sad to see her go.
Last February Tamara Oyarzabal's then husband — they've since divorced — suffered a massive stroke. He was treated at Mount Sinai hospital on Miami Beach. His hospital room had a view of the Miami skyline.

Stone Gossard looked like he couldn't quite believe what he was about to say.
Standing onstage Wednesday night at the Forum — where the Pearl Jam guitarist had gathered with dozens of other musicians for a concert tribute to the late Chris Cornell — Gossard peered into the wings and then turned to face the crowd.
"We got someone coming out here to sing 'Say Hello 2 Heaven,'" he said, referring to the tune by Temple of the Dog, the short-lived grunge-era supergroup that combined members of Pearl Jam and Cornell's band Soundgarden.
The pop star once known as Hannah Montana was perhaps a surprising choice to salute Cornell, who died by suicide in 2017 after establishing himself as one of rock's great vocalists. But if anyone had doubts that she belonged at this show, called "I Am the Highway," Cyrus' performance should've put them to rest.
Pushing her voice to its raspiest extreme, the singer belted "Say Hello 2 Heaven" with such bluesy intensity that the decades-old song (which Cornell wrote about losing a friend of his) sounded convincingly like the product of fresh pain.
Indeed, Cyrus wasn't the only artist in Wednesday's nearly five-hour production whose presence demonstrated the breadth of Cornell's influence.
Though he found fame as a successor to classic howlers like Robert Plant and Roger Daltrey, Cornell dabbled widely over his career, taking up acoustic folk on his solo records and heavy funk with another supergroup, Audioslave, in which he teamed with dudes from Rage Against the Machine. In 2009 he made a gleaming synth-pop record with the hip-hop producer Timbaland; it was maligned back then, but in retrospect it seems almost to predict the blurred genre lines that define the streaming era.
At the Forum, Cornell's admirers included old peers like Metallica and Foo Fighters (both of whom mixed renditions of Cornell's songs with tunes of their own) as well as Adam Levine of Maroon 5, who sang "Seasons"; reggae's Ziggy Marley, who joined Cornell's teenage daughter Toni for a moving version of his late father Bob's "Redemption Song"; and Ryan Adams, who turned Soundgarden's "Fell on Black Days" into a moody roots-music number.
Rita Wilson, the actor and occasional soft-rock singer, even turned up to do "The Promise," which Cornell wrote not long before his death for a movie about the Armenian genocide.
"I Am the Highway," which according to organizers raised more than $1 million for two charitable organizations — the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation and the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation (the latter headed by the singer's widow) — was built around performances by the surviving members of Cornell's three bands, with various guest vocalists filling in for the frontman.
And given that the show also featured assorted one-off performances and archival video clips, it could feel at times like a slog.
"It's gonna be a little bumpy tonight," Jimmy Kimmel warned early on, before he quietly disappeared from his job as the evening's host. Other celebrity speakers and presenters included Brad Pitt, Courteney Cox and Jack Black, who cheerfully acknowledged that a stage manager was urging him to stretch his thin material while Metallica set up.
In a way, though, the concert's length — and its looseness — provided the needed space to honor Cornell's expansive vision.
Carlile reappeared with Audioslave, emphasizing the sensuality of Cornell's singing in "Like a Stone"; Dave Grohl in "Show Me How to Live" reminded you of the fury his friend could put across when he wanted to.
By the time Soundgarden took the stage around midnight — assisted by somewhat lower-wattage pals such as Taylor Momsen and Marcus Durant — "I Am the Highway" was threatening to run out of gas.
But then the band revved up the lumbering groove of its old hit "Outshined," with its quotable lyric about "looking California and feeling Minnesota," and once again you thought of Cornell's valuable ability to hold more than one idea in his head at a time.

APC NWC suspends Okorocha over 'anti-party activities'
UTME Registration: No email address, no registration, JAMB authorities insist

Diezani fights back, hires Ezekhome to stop property forfeiture
Your victory is victory for democracy, Akeredolu tells Oyetola
Editorhttps://www.fedredsnews.ng
Former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha has been suspended by the national working committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The decision of the ruling party's NWC was communicated in a letter dated July 12, 2021, and signed by Mai Mala Buni and John Akpanudoedehe, national chairman and secretary of the party's caretaker committee respectively.
The NWC's decision comes less than two years after a previous suspension on Okorocha was lifted.
According to the letter, the suspension is in line with the decision of the Imo state chapter of the APC, and is as a result of the former governor's involvement in "anti-party activities".
"This is to communicate to you, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Party ratification of your suspension by the Imo State Chapter of our great party for anti-party activities," the letter addressed to Okorocha reads.
"The suspension follows after the recommendation by the Imo State Disciplinary Committee set up to investigate allegations of gross anti-party activities against you which is in line with Article 21 (B) I-VI of our party's constitution."
According to the APC NWC, Okorocha was found to be involved in "continuous-discrete meetings with the opposition party both at state and national level; working in opposition to the APC-led government in Imo State, and flagrant public abuse on the person and office of the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria (an APC-led government)".
The NWC also said Okorocha had other "sundry outstanding disciplinary issues with the party at the State level".
"The party is committed towards the sustenance of democratic virtues/integrity and as such, finds these anti-party activities weighty enough to ratify your suspension from the All Progressives Congress (APC) Party," it added.
"Subsequently, the National Working Committee (NWC) shall communicate any further change on your membership status of the party."
Okorocha is the senator representing Imo West at the upper legislative chamber.

Though that's not the focus of the Comiket 76 release WATER, there is at least one inspiration illustration from the upcoming series included. The majority of other works in this collection are originals, manga illustrations and the occasional fan arts.
WATER is A4-sized and 56-pages when including the covers in that count. It's entirely full-color and nearly all full-page illustrations. Presentation-wise, it feels very much like an art book. The only shortcoming (which probably won't bother most people) is that there isn't any publication information included with the works, so it's kind of hard to follow up on works you might be interested in. Several of the characters in the first part of the book are from Noriyuki Matsumoto's full-color manga Tsubame - Hidamari Shoujo Kikou.
I was happy to see a few Queen's Blade fan illustrations included as well. One of them (not pictured) is from a Toranoana Queen's Blade collection that I keep meaning to review at some point.
This illustration is the cover for Mini-Skirt Space Pirates (ミニスカ宇宙海賊), which is the inspiration for the anime Mouretsu Pirates. While I love Noriyuki Matsumoto's take on school girls, he really nails it with over-the-top fantasy designs especially because he pays extra attention to details on the clothing.
If you've purchased Noriyuki Matsumoto Illustrations Rin, you'll be happy to know that there isn't any overlap between these two books. You can also really see a sort of style evolution between the two books, with the illustrations in WATER featuring a much more animation-ready style and coloring. Still, there are several painted works, which have a look all their own.
There is a fairly large section in the book featuring illustrations from the manga A-kun (17) no Sensou - I, the Tycoon? (A君(17)の戦争-I.THE TYCOON). It's 21 pages long, with one two-page spread illustration in the mix.
The last ten or so pages are filled with a mixture of fan arts and smaller colored sketches. There are three illustrations from Macross Frontier, and a couple from Kanon before the last few pages which include multiple illustrations per page that are mostly nude roughs.
Though it's been a little over a year since WATER was released, it's not too hard to find for a good price. It's definitely one of those great quality collections that makes me wish more doujinshi were this well done ^^

A preacher's daughter and a sexy agent undercover in an adult shop…what could possibly go wrong?
Web designer Lauren Rivers steps in to help out a friend, and finds herself running an adult lingerie and toy shop! Not only that, she has a sexy Drug Task Force agent watching her every move. Certain the owner of Saucy Secrets can't be guilty of selling dangerous drugs through her shop, Lauren makes a rash bet to serve the handsome but aggravating Agent Galloway his dinner wearing a bustier from the shop if she's wrong…only to realize there's more to some of the skimpy ensembles, and to her feelings for him, than she bargained for.
Agent Jake Galloway just wants to wipe out the deadly brand of Ecstasy being sold in his city. Convinced it's connected to this adult shop, he intends to prove it. But when a pretty troublemaker keeps popping up at all the wrong times, he must choose to arrest her or bring her in as his partner. After all, nothing says he can't enjoy the investigation. Then Lauren is caught with circumstantial evidence, and Jake must choose: the girl, or the investigation?
BFF in slammer
Lauren juggled her laptop bag and her purse, and a superbig fountain drink from the convenience store, while unlocking the front door of Saucy Secrets. Hard to accomplish, what with her sunglasses, and Rockies ball cap pulled low. She managed to get inside without dropping anything, and set her load item-by-item on the counter, then removed the hat and glasses. Now where were the light switches? On second thought, she'd wait a bit to turn on the lights. It was only 11:30, and she needed time to get the cash register powered up.
She peeked into the back room, where she did need to turn on the lights. Tilda's usual jumble of unpacked orders, returns, and overstock appeared normal. Hard to tell whether the agents had tossed the place looking for evidence.
"What do you think you're doing?"
She screeched and whirled, ready for hand-to-hand mortal combat. Only…that mile-wide chest in front of her would be tough to fight. "Er. Agent Galloway."
"Yes. Ms. Rivers. Now that we've refreshed our memories…"
Her memory hadn't needed refreshed. She'd sort of thought of that chest and those very green eyes several times throughout the night. He was definitely a hunka law enforcement. Which was not how she should think of the guy trying to put her BFF in the slammer.
He cleared his throat. "I asked what you're doing here."
She tossed her hair over her shoulder and gave him a duh smirk. "Preparing to open the shop. What are you doing here?"
He crossed his arms over his chest and glared. Oh, so imposing, Mr. Galloway. "I thought I made it clear that this store is closed until the investigation is complete."
"Nope. Check your paperwork. The judge ordered Tilda to stay out of her shop. He didn't say it couldn't be open."
The jolly green-eyed giant stared toward a pile of bustiers. He was definitely a big guy. But not freakishly so. Pleasantly large. "Do women go around in those things under their clothes, or are they for sleeping in, or..."
She picked up a hot pink one with black lace trim. "Believe it or not, they're kind of a thing on their own, like in place of shirts." Tilda had told her about the Latina clientele snatching them up as fast as she could get them in. She held this one against her front and checked out the effect in the mirror on the back of the door. Dang. Maybe they were onto something. With all those stays, anybody would look stacked. Could be a major discomfort, though. The hot pink may not be her best color. Maybe a red, or emerald. Hm.
Speaking of emerald, Agent Supersize was totally staring at her. Wide-eyed, mouth partly open… With a little turn to each side, she pretended to check out the effect from different angles, but watched in the mirror as his eyes followed her chest area. Gulp. Was that interest, or— Oh, hell. It didn't matter. He was the enemy.
"Well." She tossed the bustier back on top of the stack to be priced later. "I better get to work. Guess I'll see you later."
His Adam's apple bobbed. "Uhh." He gave a little shudder-shake of his head as if to wake up. "No. I'm here to investigate. And you're going to leave." He shifted and shoved his hands in his front pockets. If your erection lasts longer than four hours, seek immediate help… Now where had that come from?
Her turn to cross her arms over her chest. "I realize you're the investigative expert here," she said. "But don't you think we're more likely to catch whoever is trafficking these drugs if the shop is doing business as usual?" Before he could answer, she left the room and turned on the lights in the store. "So here's what's gonna happen. I'm going to run my friend's store. And you can watch for drug dealers outside doing what they've been doing, from across the street in a carpet-cleaner's van with all your surveillance equipment. Unless you're using an unmarked black sedan."
He'd opened his mouth to speak, snapped it shut, and glanced out the front window.
A black four-door was parked oh-so-undercoverly halfway down the block. How funny. She made no effort to hold back a smirk.
"So you know, we've been watching her for a week. Without being noticed." He narrowed his eyes at her. "But once the fourth girl was hospitalized, we had to move in before the medical community made connections and got the press involved. If that happens, finding the supplier is almost impossible. Since you're the person vouching for her, it's incriminating for you to be in here. For all we know, you could be destroying evidence."
"Screw you, Galloway." Destroying evidence. She'd never had so much as a speeding ticket in her life. Not even a parking ticket.
He raised his chin and scowled down at her.
"I'm her only occasional employee." That was a bit of a stretch. She'd ring things up on the register now and then if she brought in lunch or dinner and Tilda was busy with another customer. And she'd mind the store if Tilda had an afternoon appointment elsewhere. But he didn't need to know that.
He rubbed his hand across his chin for several seconds. "Alright. I need to go set some things up. But I'll be back. Soon. And when I come back, I'll be confiscating the footage from those security cameras." He pointed to Tilda's security set-up. "To make sure you remove nothing from the premises and don't alter any evidence."
What a tool. Those cameras worked, but Tilda didn't have them set up with any means of recording. They just fed to a monitor in the back room. She wouldn't bother telling him, though. "Whatever, big guy. You do your job and I'll do mine."

Marcus Peters, the Huskies' standout junior cornerback, has been suspended for this week's game against Illinois after his sideline tantrum during Washington's 59-52 victory over Eastern Washington on Saturday, according to multiple sources.
The suspension of Peters — UW's only veteran cornerback — further stresses Washington's young and vulnerable defensive secondary that ranks 117th in the nation in passing defense.
Peters did not practice with the team Monday morning.
Peters is the eighth player new UW coach Chris Petersen has either suspended or dismissed from the team since February.
UPDATE: At his weekly Monday afternoon press conference, Petersen declined to specifically address Peters' status.
"Our discipline will stay in-house," he said.
Petersen benched the cornerback in the third quarter on Saturday after Peters committed a "stupid" penalty when he head-butted an EWU receiver. The unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty came immediately after a sack by UW's Shaq Thompson on third down, which would have forced EWU to punt. Instead, the penalty gave the Eagles a first down, and they scored a touchdown eight plays later to take a 45-44 lead late in the third quarter.
After drawing the penalty, Peters was seen arguing with assistant coaches and threw his gloves and helmet to the ground on the UW sideline.
Petersen has a team rule that helmets are not supposed to touch the ground.
Peters was also suspended for the first quarter of UW's Fight Hunger Bowl in December, for an unspecified reason.
The 6-foot, 190-pound junior from Oakland, Calif.,, is considered by some to be a potential first-round pick in the NFL draft. Peters led UW with five interceptions and 14 pass breakups in 2013, earning second-team all-Pac-12 honors.
Without Peters, the Huskies finished the EWU game with senior reserve Travell Dixon and true freshman Sidney Jones at cornerback. Jones forced a fumble on kickoff coverage in the first quarter Saturday, and Dixon played well after replacing Peters in the second half.

Stretch marks are an unfortunate fact of life for many people. Anytime the skin has been stretched too far or too fast - such as during puberty, pregnancy, or weight change - these unsightly lines may appear. Just because stretch marks are normal doesn't mean you have to live with them.
Regardless of what caused your stretch marks, laser stretch mark removal is an advanced treatment that can help you get the clearer, smoother skin you desire. It's a nonsurgical approach to improving stretch marks with well-tolerated treatments that require little to no downtime.
A few easy laser stretch mark removal treatments may be all it takes to reveal more beautiful, touchable skin that you'll be proud to show off.
Laser stretch mark removal can work on any part of the body, including the stomach, hips, arms, breasts and legs. It can treat new stretch marks or stretch marks that you've been living with for years. Laser stretch mark removal uses powerful laser technology to reduce the look of even the darkest stretch marks without harming surrounding skin. It's easy to get started.
Laser stretch mark treatment can treat stretch marks caused by pregnancy, weight loss, weight gain and body changes due to puberty. While the laser works best on newer stretch marks, even older stretch marks can be noticeably improved.
Radiance Medspauses a fractional laser from Palomar, the company that invented focused micro-fractional laser technology. Laser stretch mark treatment uses short pulses of micro-fine laser light to reach deeply into the skin's sub-layers, treating the aging support structure. Then the body's natural healing process sweeps away older, damaged tissue and rebuilds it with fresh, new collagen and elastin - the crucial building blocks of smooth skin. The new collagen can leave the stretch mark smoother in texture and reduce the appearance of the stretch mark on the skin by improving the color.
Most people feel minimal discomfort during laser stretch mark removal treatment.
Most people may need three to five treatment sessions for optimum aesthetic results. Sometimes more sessions may be required if additional lightening or smoothing is desired.
Other possible side effects include blistering, bruising, prolonged redness, lightening or darkening of skin color, scarring, and removal or lightening of freckles. There is a rare risk of infection.

Pittsburgh Filmmakers/Center for the Arts longtime head resigns
Posted By Bill O'Driscoll on Thu, Dec 10, 2015 at 3:24 PM
It sounded a bit like a mutiny.
Last Friday, staffers at Pittsburgh Filmmakers/Pittsburgh Center for the Arts presented a petition to the group's board of directors including a statement of no confidence in Charlie Humphrey, the group's longtime executive director. The board immediately placed Humphrey on indefinite paid leave, and on Tuesday, after 23 years as head of Filmmakers and nine as head of the merged entity, he resigned.
Pittsburgh Filmmakers headquarters on Melwood Avenue, in Oakland
Filmmakers/PCA is now run by a three-member executive team made up of three long-time staffers: John Cantine, Filmmakers' director of education; Laura Domencic, director of Pittsburgh Center for the Arts; and Jasdeep Khaira, director of artist services. That team is working in tandem with board president Doug Gouge. (Gouge was also named in the petition's statement of no confidence, but the board refused to accept his resignation.)
A petition by staffers that leads to the ouster of the head of an arts organization is exceedingly rare in Pittsburgh. The move was even more shocking given not only Humphrey's long tenure, but his status in the local arts scene: He is well regarded by the foundation community and other arts leaders, and often quoted by the media on arts-related issues.
But within his own organization, dissatisfaction with Humphrey's leadership predated both the no-confidence petition and the round of layoffs this past June that Humphrey ordered in response to the group's current financial crisis.
Many of those concerns date back more than a decade, to when Filmmakers and Center for the Arts were separate entities. Filmmakers was known for its three movie theaters and its education program in film, photography and digital media, and the Center for its exhibitions and art classes. The venerable but debt-ridden Center had closed temporarily, and Humphrey, who had worked hard to save it, spearheaded the merger.
But as CP reported in a December 2005 article, many inside Filmmakers questioned the move: Filmmakers, though it had experienced more than a decade of explosive growth under Humphrey, was facing its own challenges. These included declining revenue for its education program, the organization's main source of revenue. Point Park University, long a key source of students for Filmmakers, had recently begun its own cinema program, and fewer students were now making their way to Filmmakers headquarters on Oakland's Melwood Avenue.
Such concerns had only intensified by earlier this year, when what Humphrey called shortfalls in cash flow prompted the layoffs, which included 18 full- and part-time employees, or about one-fifth of the group's staff..
As CP reported in June, many Filmmakers staffers felt that Humphrey seemed less interested in Filmmakers' programs than in newer undertakings like the PCA and the nonprofit news organization PublicSource (which launched in 2011). One staffer, speaking anonymously, said that Filmmakers staff "have felt neglected by Charlie's leadership, because he pursues these other interests. He gets really excited about non-Filmmakers activities and doesn't perceive our core Filmmakers program as a priority for him."
Humphrey, who split his workday between Filmmakers' headquarters and the PCA's landmark mansion on Fifth Avenue, rejected such accusations, and Filmmakers' longtime funders voiced their support of him. And in announcing the layoffs, Humphrey said he would go without his own salary in June, and take a 30 percent pay cut in both July and August. But bad feelings remained among staff, many of whom reported poor morale.
Some of the laid-off staffers were later brought back. But some six months after the layoffs, the statement of no confidence was signed by more than 30 staffers, including more than half of Filmmakers' full-time employees. (The group has about 30 full-timers and a seasonally varying 40 to 50 part-timers, says Laura Domencic.)
Gouge, the board president, says the petition arose from "a communication problem." Humphrey and the board were working on a new financial plan, he says, but "the staff really didn't see this [effort] and felt frustrated that nothing was happening." Like Humphrey, Gouge, a retired businessman, describes the group's problem as "a cash-flow shortfall." Filmmakers/PCA is working with financial consultant Pete Mendes to craft a plan. Gouge says he and Mendes plan to meet with local foundations shortly.
Domencic said all Filmmakers/PCA programming, including classes and screenings at the Regent Square, Harris and Melwood theaters, will continue as scheduled.
Gouge and Domencic have been serving as Filmmakers/PCA spokespeople. The group's staffers have been asked not to speak to the press in order "to create some consistent version of what happened," says Gouge.
However, CP spoke to one of the group's contract workers (a classification that includes jobs like adjunct instructor), who confirmed that in the days before the petition was submitted, morale at Filmmakers remained poor, with staffers "bitter and depressed."
"It was kind of miserable to go in there and witness that week after week," said the contract employee, who asked to remain anonymous. The employee had not personally been aware of the petition but said of its drafters, "I'm proud of those guys ... what a risk they took."
"I feel like in general we need more leadership," said one current staffer who did sign the petition, and who said that "a lack of engagement" with staff had been the biggest problem with Humphrey as executive director.
This past Tuesday, Gouge told CP that the group's staffers "feel invigorated that they have a different possibility in front of them."
"Everybody gets in a rut," he added. "We've changed the environment here, and we're not in that rut."
Whatever it might mean for Filmmakers/PCA, Humphrey's departure leaves a big gap on the local arts scene, where he's served on the boards of groups including The Andy Warhol Museum, the New Hazlett Theater and Quantum Theatre. In addition to leading Filmmakers through more than half of its 44-year history and its biggest-ever expansion, and his rescue of the PCA, he was instrumental several years ago in saving the struggling Pittsburgh Glass Center.
In a statement issued to the press, Heinz Endowments president Grant Oliphant said, "Charlie Humphrey has devoted exceptional service for many years to Pittsburgh's cultural community. Whatever the circumstances of recent events that led to his decision to resign, he has been a passionate and eloquent advocate for the arts and cultural policy, a bold leader and a generous friend."
Reached by phone today, Humphrey himself told CP, "I had a great time. I loved everything about my job. Now I look forward to the next chapter, and I don't know what that is."

Half-Day Private Tour - Mafra and Sintra Heritage
Our most recommended Mafra Private Experiences
1. Lisbon: Queluz, Mafra, Azenhas do Mar & Cabo da Roca Tour
Discover the area northwest of Lisbon and see the highlights off the beaten tourist path. Visit the Palace of Queluz, whose gardens and ground are an exceptionally-beautiful example of 18th-century Portuguese architecture. The palace was built for Peter III of Portugal, prince consort of Queen Maria I (1734-1816), as a royal residence. Many rooms are in a Rococo style, like the ornate throne room with mirrored walls and beautiful gilded woodwork. Admire the gardens with lovely fountains and ornamental ponds and a collection of sculptures around the Neptune Garden and pond. Then visit the Palace of Mafra. The largest castle and cloister complex in Portugal with over 4,700 windows and doors, the Palace of Mafra is approximately 50 kilometers north of Lisbon in Mafra. See the impressive 220-meter-long façade. The palace is approximately 38,000 m², with 1,200 rooms and 156 staircases. Learn all about the church with its 2 fascinating glockenspiels with 48 bells from Antwerp. Continue along the foot of the Sintra Mountains to Azenhas do Mar. Discover an incredible town right on the cliffs, a true postcard picture and destination for artists. See Cabo da Roca, the western-most point of continental Europe, to the west of Lisbon and 140 meters above sea level. The Portuguese national poet Luis de Camões described the place with the following words: "Here, where the land ends and the sea begins..." Then head over the shifting sand dunes of Guincho along the Sintra-Cascais Nature Park back to Lisbon.
2. Lisbon: Ericeira, Mafra Rural Beach and Wine Tour
Your journey begins with a morning pickup at your hotel in Lisbon, Cascais, Ericeira, or Sintra. From there, enjoy a brief ride to Mafra, about 40 minutes from Lisbon. Mafra's convent is a masterpiece from the eighteenth century and one of the most important monuments of Portugal, unique for its two carillons with 92 bells, 1200 rooms, over 4,700 doors, and windows and the oldest library in the country with about 36,000 volumes of books and transcripts. After Mafra venture to the quaint Portuguese one-of-a-kind village of José Franco. This man was a sculptor and a poet who decided to build a living museum to show the customs, labor activities, and other aspects of Portuguese rural life back in his time in 1945. The result is a giant museum made into a village! Next, head to Ericeira, the first World Surfing Reserve in Europe and 2nd in the world. It is a touristic village also known for its blue and white colored streets and houses. In Ericeira enjoy some free time, for possibly a leisurely Portuguese lunch (not included) or a stroll through the town and by the seaside. Last but not least, to finish this exclusive day, head to an exquisite winery and cellar for a tasting and historical experience that will provide you with a fascinating insight into the world of Portugal's wine production. A family-run business welcomes you to an entertaining and enlightening tour around wines and cellars to discover the secrets of the wine-making process. Learn how wine is produced and enjoy a tasting session of six different wines (four local wines and two other magnificent wines) accompanied by local bread and olives.
3. From Lisbon: Mafra and Ericeira Private Day Trip
Choose your own adventure with an expert guide and embark on an exciting day trip from Lisbon. Allow your guide to suggest the best locations and restaurants and design your journey to suit your wishes. Perhaps make a visit to Mafra Palace, an impressive UNESCO World Heritage Site boasting a magnificent library, or discover the stunning World Surfing Reserve of Ericeira on the western coast of Portugal. Embark on a train tour through an enchanting forest or visit the charming village of José Franco. Discover delicious Portuguese cuisine along the way and customize your experience with your guide as you go.
4. From Lisbon: Óbidos and Mafra Palace Private Tour
Step back in time and enjoy a private tour through streets of the walled town of Óbidos, the best-preserved "museum village" in Portugal. Also, visit the Palácio Nacional de Mafra, one of the biggest 18th-century baroque palaces in Europe. Explore Óbidos, which was conquered by Portugal´s first king, D. Afonso Henriques, on January 11th, 1148. Since then, Óbidos continues to be part of Portugal's history. Here you will visit the various highlights of the Fortified village of Óbidos. Walking inside the village also allows you to taste the Ginjinha and other local goods and crafts. Discover the palace of Mafra. A magnificent building that was only possible due to the Brazilian gold that poured into the country, allowing King João V to carry out the building of the biggest baroque palaces from the 18th century. Learn about its construction, which began on November 17, 1717, integrating four buildings in one: the palace, the convent, the basilica, and a library. The complex covers an area of almost four hectares (37.790 sqm2). It includes an incredible 1,200 rooms, more than 4,700 doors and windows, 156 stairways, and 29 inner yards and courtyards. Walkthrough the longest corridor ever built in a palace (232 m long) that is made of limestone and marble from the Óbidos, Pêro Pinheiro, and Sintra regions. Go inside the library, one of the most important in Europe. The impressive library has an enormous variety of books, more than 30.000 volumes, from the XVth to the XVIIIth century. Look up to see two massive towers flanking the palace. Next, see the basilica, a "centerpiece" of the facade having been designed by the German architect Johann Friedrich Ludwig, commissioned by D. João V. Note that If you are visiting in July, Óbidos castle hosts a traditional 'Medieval Market'. For two weeks the castle and the surrounding town recreate the spirit of medieval Europe. Flowing banners and heraldic flags set the mood together with daily parades, hundreds of entertainers and stall workers dressed as traditional merchants, jugglers, jesters, wandering minstrels, soldiers, and more. There are also displays of jousting knights and armed combat.
5. Half-Day Private Tour - Mafra and Sintra Heritage
Your private half-day tour will begin with a pick up from your Lisbon hotel or cruise port. The objective of the day will be to show you Mafra, with it's 18th century national palace and it's surrounding park, also classified as a national monument. As this is a private tour, you will have the freedom to rearrange your tour how you see fit. Below is the standard itinerary: After your pick up at 8:30, we will proceed directly to Mafra, where we will arrive after a 45-minute drive. Our first stop will be at the center of Mafra, where we can visit the Palace and Basilica (approximately 1.5-h for the whole visit). After that, depending on the season and the available program, the tour proceeds to Tapada, a park on the back of the palace that served as hunting grounds for the King and Royal family, where you can freely visit and see all the animals that live there in the wild or you can see a show of Falconry, an art developed by the Portuguese which is considered Immaterial World Heritage by the Unesco. After the visit to the tapada, we will return to Lisbon passing by Sintra for an overview of the Palaces and main monuments of the village, and if time allows it some breathtaking landscapes on the coast nearby. Optionally you can book an additional 2-hours for a tasty seafood lunch at one of the nearby beach restaurants, allowing also more time to return to Lisbon by the coastline, a route always preferred due to it's scenic beauty, of which is considered to be our little Côte d'Azur.
6. From Lisbon: Tomar and Mafra Full-Day Tour
You will be driven to Tomar through the agricultural lands of Ribatejo. In Tomar you will visit the Convento de Cristo (Convent of Christ), originally built by the Knight Templars, and explore its Templar Castle, Romanesque round, Manualine church, renaissance convent and monastic enclosures. Learn how the Knight Templars originated the Order of Christ, and how this new order became pivotal in the Age of Discoveries. After a lunch break, you will return to the car and head back to the town of Mafra. Be amazed by the scale of the sumptuous baroque Mafra National Palace. If there is time, enjoy a traditional sweet in a typical pastry shop (not included) before returning back to Lisbon.
7. Mafra, Ericeira, & Sintra Private Tour from Lisbon
Leave the traditional Lisbon and Sintra tours, and join this private tour to Mafra to discover a magnificent building that was only possible due to the Brazilian gold that poured into the country, allowing King João V to carry out the building of the biggest baroque palaces from the 18th century. Your private full-day tour begins with a pick-up at your Lisbon accommodation and a drive to Mafra, where you'll visit the Mafra National Palace. On a tour of the palace you'll visit the library, considered to be one of the most beautiful in the world. Mafra's grandiose palace-monastery defies description. Ordered by King João V in 1717 to celebrate the birth of his first child, it was reputedly designed to compete in magnificence with the Spanish royal palace. The overwhelming architectural details include over 5000 doorways, 2500 windows, 880 rooms, 154 grandstaircases, 29 courtyards, and 330 monks' cells. The two bell towers together house over 100 bells (the largest collection in the world), still played every Sunday and audible across a distance of 25 kilometers (15 miles). Tour the lavish royal apartments; visit the 11 chapels of the pink and grey marble basilica; marvel at the bizarremedical instruments in the hospital and pharmacy; and walk around the beautiful eight-square-kilometer wildlife garden, originally conceived by the King as a deer park and source of hunting, entertainment, food and firewood. Last but by no means least, save time for the mind-blowing library; adorned with marble and jacarandawood, it is one of Europe's finest, housing over 40,000 rare volumes including the earliest edition of Homer in Greek, a trilingual bible from the early 16th century and a first edition of Os Lusíadas by Luís de Camões, regarded as Portugal's national poet. Not far from Mafra, travel back in time to the turn of the 20th century at Olaria Tipica Joao Franco (Typical Village of José Franco). This fascinating and somewhat surreal miniature working village showcases the traditional culture and handicrafts of the surrounding area, crafted using traditional techniques by renowned Portuguese potter and sculptor José Silos Franco. During the visit worth trying the bread with sausage (pão com chouriço), it is very tasty! There is also an on-site shop selling handmade pottery from around the country. The village depicts the true story of the region and undoubtedly arouses the curiosity of the many travellers of all ages that frequently pass through here. In the same space, you can also see a permanent exhibition of the ceramic works of José Franco. After this emersion in history you will go and visit the fishing village of Ericeira, take a stroll, taste the local gastronomy and get to know a bit more of its history. Ericeira is an authentic fisherman town. Here you can still see fishing boats, strong waves, and small fisherman houses. It will be the perfect place for an incredibly fresh fish lunch. In the area there is also a miniature village depicting the town's traditions. Recently, this fishing village was included in the list of the 10 "coolest small cities in Europe". It is famous for its history, cliffs, sandy beaches, surfing, fresh seafood and fresh fish. It's the best place for fresh lunch. Afterwards, the tour continues to Sintra, mainly through rural landscapes. Discover Sintra's monuments and downtown where you'll have some time to explore old streets of Sintra and checking the village viewpoint.
8. Lisbon: Royal Palaces Tour
Explore the Royal Palaces in Lisbon and their surroundings, which are filled with stories, myths, and legends. See wonderful monuments during an amazing day of sightseeing. Start at the National Palace of Queluz. Then head to the Park and National Palace of Pena in the Sintra Municipality. Finally, end at the Palacio Nacional de Mafra.

LACEY - Democrat Denny Heck and Republican Jaime Herrera sparred here Wednesday over the best way to revive the nation's economy in a well-attended forum devoted to their 3rd Congressional District race.
Neither covered new ground, and many who showed up for the Thurston County Chamber-sponsored event did not seem swayed. But the candidates did have a lively discussion – on everything from the economic stimulus passed by Congress to each candidate's biggest mistake in life.
Herrera said her error was use of credit cards as a young adult, and Heck had second thoughts about how well he'd parented his two adult sons. On the large campaign issues, the candidates were just as clear.

India: Strategies to Fight Corruption
In July 2014, a delegation of senior public officials from India travelled to Berkeley for an intensive executive training session on fighting corruption.
Scholars from the Berkeley Center for Politics and Economics participated in the program, held at the Goldman School of Public Policy, because of their rigorous studies on the nature of corruption and strategies to reduce it.
What officials wanted was practical insight. What were the forces that spurred corruption, and how could they be tamed? What was the full impact of corruption on a government's finances, operations, and legitimacy in the eyes of citizens? What were the elements of a National Integrity System that would establish proper ethics laws, credible enforcement and effective procedures to audit for compliance?
Before arriving, the Indian officials had already been referred to an extensive list of books and scholarly articles, as well as to practical tools and guidelines from organizations such as Transparency International.
But the day's highlight was the Anti-Corruption Lab. Here, the Indian officials each described the most urgent and difficult challenges they had faced in their own work. Speaking openly, under the protection of confidentiality, they aired a wide array of agonizing worries. How should civil servants deal with demands by elected political leaders who, under pressure from the public, wanted them to alter regulatory priorities? How could they navigate the minefield of vested interests in making honest procurement decisions? How to deal with publicly-paid doctors who might be be deviating from international best practices?
Perhaps the biggest worry, and one shared by public officials in many nations, was the most difficult: how could they fight corruption when the courts and judges themselves might be under pressure to punish honest officials? It was a topic that Ernesto Dal Bó, the center's co-director, had himself explored in studies of the threats and bribes used to sway public officials in Latin America.
The Anti-Corruption Lab gave the Indian officials an opportunity to compare notes, apply the principles they had been absorbing all day, and candidly brainstorm with each other about solutions.
Corruption is a vexing disease that infects institutions in scores of ways, imposing pressures and demoralizing risks on public officials for whom integrity is often central to their self-esteem.
The Anti-Corruption Lab couldn't solve all those problems, but it gave participants both a stronger foundation for thinking through solutions and new conviction to push for them.

12 reasons 2020 will be an awesome year An expert's look ahead at synthetic human brains, moon mining and more
By Clay Dillow
Courtesy of Popular Science
Get ready for the first complete synthetic human brain, moon mining, and much more. Maybe robotic moon bases, chips implanted in Get ready for the first complete synthetic human brain, moon mining, and much more. Maybe robotic moon bases, chips implanted in our brains, self-driving cars and high-speed rail linking London to Beijing. According to a dazzling number of technology predictions that single out the year 2020, it's going to be to be one heck of a year. Here, we take a look at some of the wonders it has in store.
2020, of course, is just a convenient target date for roughly-10-years-off predictions. "It's not any more particularly interesting, in my opinion, than 2019 or 2021," says Mike Liebhold, a Distinguished Fellow at the Institute for the Future, and an all-around technology expert with a resume that includes stints with Intel, Apple, and even Netscape.
Liebhold now helps clients take a long view of their businesses so they can make better decisions in the short term. He and his colleagues at the Institute for the Future don't help clients read tea leaves but they do help them read what he calls the signals — those things you can see in the world today that allow you to make reasonable forecasts about what the future holds.
In other words, the year 2020 (and 2019, and 2021) is Liebhold's business. And he forecasts a pretty interesting world a decade from now. So what will the world look like in 2020? With Liebhold riding shotgun, we took a quick spin through 2020 to see what the future might hold.
Japan will build a robotic moon base
There's no technological reason why Japan shouldn't be able to move forward with its ambitious plan to build a robotic lunar outpost by 2020 — built by robots, for robots. In fact, there's really no nation better for the job in terms of technological prowess.
The Institute for the Future's Mike Liebhold says, "There are private launch vehicles that are probably capable of doing that, and I think the robotics by that point are going to be quite robust."
PopSci Predicts: Technologically possible, but economics will be the deciding factor.
China will connect Beijing to London via high-speed rail
China's plan:Link the East and West with a high-speed rail line. Not linking the Eastern with the Western parts of China — they're talking about linking the Eastern world with the Western world.
How to deal with the inevitable headaches of a 17-country train? Offer to pick up the tab. China would pay for and build the infrastructure in exchange for the rights to natural resources such as minerals, timber and oil from the nations that would benefit from being linked in to the trans-Asian/European corridor.
PopSci Predicts: Possible but unlikely.
Cars will drive themselves
It's long been a dream of, well, just about everyone, from Google and DARPA to automakers themselves: utter safety and ease of transport thanks to self-driving cars. There's movement being made, but the first hurdle to clear is a big one: Getting all these heterogenous cars to speak to one another. We don't yet have the wireless infrastructure, globally speaking, to link all our cars with all our traffic tech.
PopSci Predicts: Certainly doable, but not by 2020.
Biofuels will be cost-competitive with fossil fuels
The U.S. military has pledged to get half its energy from renewable resources by 2020, and the Navy whole-heartedly believes it can turn to 50 percent biofuels by then. It makes political sense not to rely on volatile regions for energy, and this push could mean both cleaner vehicle fleets and a major bump in the competitiveness of biofuels in the market.
PopSci Predicts: Feasible.
The 'flying car' will be airborne
The rebirth of the flying car? Liebhold, of the Institute for the Future, shoots this one down. "No. The air traffic control for something like that is incredible." It's a problem in every way — logistically we can't do it, cost-wise we can't do it, and technologically it's extremely unlikely. Oh well.
PopSci Predicts: The military might have its prototype "flying humvee" by 2020 (DARPA wants it by 2015), but the tech won't trickle down to the rest of us for quite a while.
We'll control devices via microchips implanted in our brains
The human brain remains biology's great, unconquered wilderness, and while the idea of meshing the raw power of the human mind with electronic stimulus and responsiveness has long existed in both science fiction and — to some degree — in reality, we likely won't be controlling our devices with a thought in 2020 as Intel has predicted. While it's currently possible to implant a chip in the brain and even get one to respond to or stimulate gross neural activity, we simply don't understand the brain's nuance well enough to create the kind of interface that would let you channel surf by simply thinking about it.
"Neural communications are both chemical and electrical," Liebhold says. "And we have no idea about how that works, particularly in the semantics of neural communication. So yeah, somebody might be able to put electronics inside somebody's cranium, but I personally believe it's only going to be nominally useful for very, very narrow therapeutic applications."
PopSci Predicts: We might have chips in the brain by 2020, but they won't be doing much.
All new screens will be ultra-thin OLEDs
Display tech moves incredibly fast. There will certainly still be some "antique" LCD monitor screens hanging around in 2020, but as far as new stock is concerned, it's easy to see the entire industry shifting to paper-thin OLED surfaces, many with touch capability.
"So surfaces will become computational," Liebhold says. "walls, mirrors, windows. I think that's legitimate."
PopSci Predicts: "Give that one a high probability," Liebhold says. Done.
Commercial space will take us to the moon and asteroids (and we'll be mining them)
A two-parter: commercial trips to the moon (which is becoming a bustling space industry as you read this) and mining extraterrestrial bodies. That last part seems less likely — we haven't yet figured out what long-term space travel would do to the human body, and even robotic missions are likely several decades off.
PopSci Predicts: Commercial space travel is the real deal, but beyond orbital flights things become exponentially more difficult. The moon, asteroids and mining missions are unlikely targets within the 2020 time frame.
A $1,000 computer will have the processing power of the human brain
Zephyris via Wikimedia
Cisco's chief futurist made this prediction a couple of years ago, and it seems reasonable in some ways. Not intelligence, really, but purely the "ability, the number of cycles," as Liebhold puts it, is on track given Moore's Law.
PopSci Predicts: Likely.
Universal translation will be commonplace in mobile devices
This one's under intense development, both in practical forms like Google Translate and crazier ones from DARPA. Translation will probably happen in the cloud, consulting with massive bodies of language knowledge compiled by companies and governments.
PopSci Predicts: Probable, but with varying degrees of accuracy depending on the language.
We'll finally see some decent AR glasses
Augmented reality is highly visible on smartphone apps, but we want more — we want rich, customizable, relevant and easy to access AR overlaid directly onto whatever we happen to be looking at. That depends on the glasses and GPS, which should be accurate enough to keep up with the real world by 2020, but also on the spatial web, with geolocation data.
PopSci Predicts: We're already halfway there
We'll create a synthetic brain that functions like the real deal
Once we have a computer with the processing power of a brain, can we build a brain from scratch? Researchers at Switzerland's Blue Brain Project think so. But there's an argument that as we build a brain, we'll learn more and more about it, increasing the rate of difficulty as we proceed.
PopSci Predicts: We'll get there. Someday.

Venus, the Egyptian Hathoor, is the ruler of Taurus, while the Moon, the Lunar Flame, is exalted therein. The Thoth Tarot Atu for the 16th path of Taurus on the Tree of Life is The Hierophant V. The esoteric title of the 5th Tarot Key is The Magus of the Eternal.
The 16th path of Vav connects Sophia or Chokmah, the sphere of the Zodiac, with Chesed the magnificent or glorious sphere of Jupiter, and is imaged forth by the 5th Tarot key, The Hierophant. The path is called the Triumphant or Eternal Intelligence, since it is the way of return to the Garden of Eden. The Hierophant or Way-shower veils the instruction that is received from the deepest levels of the subconscious, for to hear this 'voice' or Word is to commence the glorious return implicit in the path's title from the Sepher Yetzirah.
The descent of the path is aptly figured in the letter vav, where the creative seed or essential fire is carried downwards towards manifestation. Looked at another way, the vav is the head and stem of the phallus (or spinal column), which, in the cosmic sense, is the pillar of the light or consciousness of Aur that stands in the void. The letter's name means 'a nail' or 'pin'; it is the power of fixing an image in consciousness, an act of will on the level of pure mind. The power of imagining is an attribute of Venus, the planetary ruler of Taurus and the earthly form of Nuit, depicted on the previous 15th path. The Moon is exalted in Taurus and the lunar nature of this path is that it reflects the dark radiance that pours forth from the Ain Soph into the pool of cosmic memory in Chesed, the sphere of Jupiter.
As the Way-shower, inner teacher or higher intuition, the Hierophant reminds us that if we follow the Word-vibration back to its source in the infinite, all phenomena cease to exist. The oath of crossing or passing through the Abyss is therefore "to interpret every phenomenon as a particular dealing of God with my soul". Adepts are then untroubled by the flow of events in space-time, since they instantly recollect that all phenomena are apparitions arising on the dreaming face of the deep.
The magical power of the 16th path is the Secret of Physical Strength. The secret bears no relation to athleticism, for it is the knowledge of that which animates all things that live and move and have their being (the Word, Hadit)—it is no less than the secret of life itself.

Nantes-Atlantique Airport
Nantes Atlantique Airport (IATA: NTE, ICAO: LFRS) (French: Aeroport Nantes Atlantique, formerly known as Aeroport Château Bougon) is an international airport serving Nantes, France. It is located 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) southwest of the city, in Bouguenais.
The airport is operated by the Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Nantes. It is currently the largest airport in the west of France, with a maximum capacity of three million passengers a year.
Nantes airport owes its origins to a military airfield, conceived in 1928 on part of the current site. In 1936/7 the Societe Nationale de Constructions Aeronautiques de l'Ouest opened an aircraft factory adjacent to the airfield, initially building MB.210 bombers, followed by M.S.406 fighters and LeO 45 bombers. In 1939 the first paved runway was constructed, with a length of 900 m (2,953 ft).
During World War II the airfield was briefly used as a British Royal Air Force base before being captured by German forces. Under occupation the aircraft factory was closed, and the airfield was used by the Luftwaffe as a base to bomb targets in England. As a consequence the airfield was hit by a damaging air raid on July 4 1943, which also destroyed the adjoining aircraft factory.
After the war the airfield was again put into service by the French Air Force. The aircraft factory was rebuilt, and has since built sections of the Vautour fighter and the Caravelle airliner, before becoming part of Airbus. In 1951 the first commercial operations started, with a new terminal built between 1954 and 1960 and runway extensions to cater for larger aircraft.
Nantes airport has a single 'L' shaped passenger terminal, which is divided into four numbered halls. Halls 1 to 3 form the long side of the 'L' and are zones within the same two story building, with baggage claim and check-in facilities on the ground floor, and departure lounges on the upper level. Hall 4 occupies a later single story building at right angles to the earlier building, but connected to it by a lobby.
The airport also has a separate freight terminal, situated to the south of the passenger terminal, which includes 6,000 m2 (65,000 sq ft) of entrepot storage. Also situated close to the passenger terminal is the Nantes factory of Airbus, which specialises in the construction of the centre wing box of the Airbus fleet of airliners and in the use of composite materials for creating structural components.
The Tan Air shuttle bus is timetabled to meet scheduled flights and a ride to the centre of Nantes takes 20 minutes. Or from the Nantes station taking 30 minutes.
Get to the Airport from the Tramway terminus station "Neustrie", take the Aeroport Bus which normally costs 7,50€ and which terminates at Nantes Atlantique airport. You can use the 1,50€ 'Nantes transport' ticket for this bus. This will take around 35 minutes. From the the airport take the airport bus, buy your ticket from the driver, and tell him "only to Neustrie". You will have to pay 1,50€ only. You can use this ticket for 60 minutes for your onward journey with the tram. From Neustrie take tram 3, direction 'Marcel Paul'. You can change to another local bus or tram, just keep your total journey time below 60 minutes.
Another way to get to the airport is via the tram stop "Pirmil", where you can take bus line 98 to the stop "Aeroport". This will take about 35 minutes plus a very short walk.

Photo David Brown Whether it's his tournament marshals or co-anglers in a pro-am, Ish Monroe raises a lot of eyebrows with his fishing success on a topwater hollow-bodied frog, namely his signature series Snagproof Ish's PHAT Frog. And not so much that he throws a frog; but rather, where he throws it.
Perhaps a simpler answer, and certainly a shorter list, would be where he does not throw the amphibian impostor. If he can reach it—and that's not always a certainty—Monroe will send his frog there.
The splashing, spitting, walking, gurgling act a frog exhibits mimics multiple entrees on the largemouth bass's menu.
"The frog imitates so many different types of (forage) for bass, you can go just about anywhere you want with it," the California pro said. "You can fish it on a bluegill pattern, a crappie pattern, a shad pattern, a duck pattern, a gopher pattern.

Portobello Library is a public library in Portobello, Edinburgh, Scotland.

The current building in Rosefield Place cost £37,500 and was opened on 11 October 1963 by Lord Provost Duncan M. Weatherstone with a stock of 26,000 books and eight staff. The previous accommodation in the Old Town Hall, now Portobello Police Station, was considered unfit for purpose and was criticized for being dirty, dark and overcrowded.

Opened in 1897, the year after Portobello was formally incorporated into the City of Edinburgh, the library service is the joint-second oldest in Edinburgh (after Central Library (1890) and joint with Western (Dundee Street) Library (1897).

In 1997, Portobello Library celebrated its centenary through a programme of talks.

In June 2017, the Edinburgh Tool Library opened a lending service out of Portobello Library.

Portobello Library is one of the main venues for events at Portobello's annual book festival in October.
