A Museum Studies Approach to Digital Practice at Heritage Tourism Destinations
by Randy H. Sooknanan
Inside today's museum spaces, the design of exhibitions now offer the ability to learn in both reality and virtuality. It can also be said that the relationship between genuine artifacts and the delivery of their contexts via virtual channels is increasingly construed by a more advanced and innovative set of computer-based technologies. In past decades, an efficacious utilization of Digital has amalgamated with arts and history learning to change critical pedagogy experiences for visitors and consumers of culture in the arena of museology. While in more recent years, smartphones have allowed visiting museums, galleries, or heritage sites a new and supplementary way to fill any informational voids. This is especially so in traditional museum settings, where Digital has become innate. However, mobile technologies could still produce a more substantial contribution to filling in the learning gaps commonly found in the cultural heritage tourism sector. In this book we ponder how museologists, researchers, and designers can bridge the divide between the natural physical world and virtual spaces at significant outdoor heritage locations.
How To Write Art History
by Anne D'Alleva
An invaluable handbook, How to Write Art History enables students to get the most from their art history course. In a clear and engaging style, Anne D'Alleva empowers readers to approach their coursework with confidence and energy.
The book introduces two basic art historical methods – formal analysis and contextual analysis – and this second edition provides even more step-by-step guidance about how these methods can be used in class discussion and in writing essays and papers. The common strengths and weaknesses of an art history essay are highlighted by using real examples of written work, and at each stage of the writing process D'Alleva offers valuable advice on developing an argument convincingly.
Providing a fascinating view of the study of art history within its historical context, this book will be particularly helpful for those considering a career in this rewarding discipline.
The Resurgence of Rome: What the US can learn from the Strategy of an Empire on the brink of disaster
by Davide Montingelli, Translated by Kirsten Gallagher, Maria Hansford (Contributor)
Long before A.D. 476, the Roman Empire was plunged into a devastating crisis. The legions were no longer invincible, powerful new enemies were attacking the borders, one emperor after another was slain by conspirators, and traditional values were not enough to guide the bewildered and frightened populace. It seemed as if Rome, the city that had civilized the world, was on the point of inexorable collapse. At that precise moment three remarkable figures arose to lead the Empire on the path towards recovery: Gallienus, Aurelian and Diocletian. Drawing upon historical sources and modern theories of international relations, the author presents the strategic-military, economic and ideological measures that the empire implemented to overcome the Crisis of the Third Century. Reading his work, we do not only gain knowledge of the period; we are also able to extract possible lessons for the major empire of our times, the United States of America. "The Resurgence of Rome" is an authentic journey through one of the most crucial moments in our history.
The Shadow King
by Jo Marchant
The literary vampire first appeared in 18th-century poetry before becoming one of the mainstay figures of gothic fiction. The notion of such lore was originally seen in literature with the publication of John William Polidori's The Vampyre in 1819. Polidori's work of fiction romanticized the vampire for the first time and went on to inspire many other writers after the fact. Inside this book, you will find other early vampire tales written long before the now-infamous Dracula by Bram Stoker. Stoker borrowed many themes and elements from these collected short stories himself, as have other literary artists over time. This edition includes The Vampyre by Polidori, along with Carmilla by J. Le Fanu and Robert Louis Stevenson's Olalla. These three featured short stories have all been heavily influential on the genre.
Sicily: Three Thousand Years of Human History
by Sandra Benjamin
Tourists, armchair travelers, and historians will delight in this fluid and engaging journey into Sicily's colorful past
The emigration of people from Sicily often overshadows the importance of the people who immigrated to its shores throughout the centuries. Greeks, Romans, Vandals, Goths, Byzantines, Muslims, Normans, Hohenstaufens, Spaniards, Bourbons, the Savoy Kingdom of Italy—and countless others—have all held sway and left lasting influences on the island's culture and architecture. Moreover, Sicily's character has been shaped by what has passed it by. Events that affected Europe, namely the Crusades and Columbus' discovery of the Americas, had little influence on Italy's most famous island.
The first and only history of Sicily for the general reader, this book examines how location turned this charming Mediterranean island into the epicenter of major historical conquests, cultures, and more. Complete with maps, biographical notes, suggestions for further reading, a glossary, and pronunciation keys, Sicily is at once a useful travel guide and an informative, entertaining exploration of the island's remarkable history.
Van Gogh's Ear
by Bernadette Murphy
On a dark night in Provence in December 1888 Vincent van Gogh cut off his ear. It is an act that has come to define him. Yet for more than a century biographers and historians seeking definitive facts about what happened that night have been left with more questions than answers.
In Van Gogh's Ear Bernadette Murphy sets out to discover exactly what happened that night in Arles. Why would an artist at the height of his powers commit such a brutal act of self-harm? Was it just his lobe, or did Van Gogh really cut off his entire ear? Who was the mysterious "Rachel" to whom he presented his macabre gift? Murphy's investigation takes us from major museums to the moldering contents of forgotten archives, vividly reconstructing the world in which Van Gogh moved—the madams and prostitutes, café patrons and police inspectors, his beloved brother, Theo, and his fellow artist and house guest Paul Gauguin. With exclusive revelations and new research about the ear and about Rachel, Bernadette Murphy proposes a bold new hypothesis about what was occurring in Van Gogh's heart and mind as he made a mysterious delivery to a woman's doorstep that fateful night.
Van Gogh's Ear is a compelling detective story and a journey of discovery. It is also a portrait of a painter creating his most iconic and revolutionary work, pushing himself ever closer to greatness even as he edged towards madness—and the one fateful sweep of the blade that would resonate through the ages.
Infidel Kings and Unholy Warriors
by Brian A. Catlos
An in-depth portrait of the Crusades-era Mediterranean world, and a new understanding of the forces that shaped it
In Infidel Kings and Unholy Warriors, the award-winning scholar Brian Catlos puts us on the ground in the Mediterranean world of 1050–1200. We experience the sights and sounds of the region just as enlightened Islamic empires and primitive Christendom began to contest it. We learn about the siege tactics, theological disputes, and poetry of this enthralling time. And we see that people of different faiths coexisted far more frequently than we are commonly told.
Catlos's meticulous reconstruction of the era allows him to stunningly overturn our most basic assumption about it: that it was defined by religious extremism. He brings to light many figures who were accepted as rulers by their ostensible foes. Samuel B. Naghrilla, a self-proclaimed Jewish messiah, became the force behind Muslim Granada. Bahram Pahlavuni, an Armenian Christian, wielded power in an Islamic caliphate. And Philip of Mahdia, a Muslim eunuch, rose to admiral in the service of Roger II, the Christian "King of Africa."
What their lives reveal is that, then as now, politics were driven by a mix of self-interest, personality, and ideology. Catlos draws a similar lesson from his stirring chapters on the early Crusades, arguing that the notions of crusade and jihad were not causes of war but justifications. He imparts a crucial insight: the violence of the past cannot be blamed primarily on religion.
Discovering the Mammoth: A Tale of Giants, Unicorns, Ivory, and the Birth of a New Science
by John J. McKay
The fascinating saga of solving the mystery of this ancient animal who once roamed the north country—and has captivated our collective imagination ever since.
Today, we know that a mammoth is an extinct type of elephant that was covered with long fur and lived in the north country during the ice ages. But how do you figure out what a mammoth is if you have no concept of extinction, ice ages, or fossils? Long after the last mammoth died and was no longer part of the human diet, it still played a role in human life. Cultures around the world interpreted the remains of mammoths through the lens of their own worldview and mythology.
When the ancient Greeks saw deposits of giant fossils, they knew they had discovered the battle fields where the gods had vanquished the Titans. When the Chinese discovered buried ivory, they knew they had found dragons' teeth. But as the Age of Reason dawned, monsters and giants gave way to the scientific method. Yet the mystery of these mighty bones remained. How did Enlightenment thinkers overcome centuries of myth and misunderstanding to reconstruct an unknown animal?
The journey to unravel that puzzle begins in the 1690s with the arrival of new type of ivory on the European market bearing the exotic name "mammoth." It ends during the Napoleonic Wars with the first recovery of a frozen mammoth. The path to figuring out the mammoth was traveled by merchants, diplomats, missionaries, cranky doctors, collectors of natural wonders, Swedish POWs, Peter the Great, Ben Franklin, the inventor of hot chocolate, and even one pirate.
McKay brings together dozens of original documents and illustrations, some ignored for centuries, to show how this odd assortment of characters solved the mystery of the mammoth and, in doing so, created the science of paleontology.
Citizens to Lords: A Social History of Western Political Thought from Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages
by Ellen Meiksins Wood
In this groundbreaking work, Ellen Meiksins Wood rewrites the history of political theory. She traces the development of the Western tradition from classical antiquity through to the Middle Ages in the perspective of social history—a significant departure not only from the standard abstract history of ideas but also from other contextual methods.
Treating canonical thinkers as passionately engaged human beings, Wood examines their ideas not simply in the context of political languages but as creative responses to the social relations and conflicts of their time and place. She identifies a distinctive relation between property and state in Western history and shows how the canon, while largely the work of members or clients of dominant classes, was shaped by complex interactions among proprietors, labourers and states. Western political theory, Wood argues, owes much of its vigour, and also many ambiguities, to these complex and often contradictory relations.
From the Ancient Greek polis of Plato, Aristotle, Aeschylus and Sophocles, through the Roman Republic of Cicero and the Empire of St Paul and St Augustine, to the medieval world of Averroes, Thomas Aquinas and William of Ockham, Citizens to Lords offers a rich, dynamic exploration of thinkers and ideas that have indelibly stamped our modern world.
The Father of Us All: War and History, Ancient and Modern
Victor Davis Hanson has long been acclaimed as one of our leading scholars of ancient history. In recent years he has also become a trenchant voice on current affairs, bringing a historian's deep knowledge of past conflicts to bear on the crises of the present, from 9/11 to Iran. "War," he writes, "is an entirely human enterprise." Ideologies change, technologies develop, new strategies are invented-but human nature is constant across time and space. The dynamics of warfare in the present age still remain comprehensible to us through careful study of the past. Though many have called the War on Terror unprecedented, its contours would have been quite familiar to Themistocles of Athens or William Tecumseh Sherman. And as we face the menace of a bin Laden or a Kim Jong-Il, we can prepare ourselves with knowledge of how such challenges have been met before.
The Father of Us All brings together much of Hanson's finest writing on war and society, both ancient and modern. The author has gathered a range of essays, and combined and revised them into a richly textured new work that explores such topics as how technology shapes warfare, what constitutes the "American way of war," and why even those who abhor war need to study military history. "War is the father and king of us all," Heraclitus wrote in ancient Greece. And as Victor Davis Hanson shows, it is no less so today.
Blood Royal: A True Tale of Crime and Detection in Medieval Paris
by Eric Jager
A riveting true story of murder and detection in 15th-century Paris, by one of the most brilliant medievalists of his generation.
On a chilly November night in 1407, Louis of Orleans was murdered by a band of masked men. The crime stunned and paralyzed France since Louis had often ruled in place of his brother King Charles, who had gone mad. As panic seized Paris, an investigation began. In charge was the Provost of Paris, Guillaume de Tignonville, the city's chief law enforcement officer -- and one of history's first detectives. As de Tignonville began to investigate, he realized that his hunt for the truth was much more dangerous than he ever could have imagined.
A rich portrait of a distant world, Blood Royal is a gripping story of conspiracy, crime and an increasingly desperate hunt for the truth. And in Guillaume de Tignonville, we have an unforgettable detective for the ages, a classic gumshoe for a cobblestoned era.
Understanding Painting: From Giotto to Warhol
by Patrick De Rynck and Jon Thompson
Great paintings, filled with complex themes and symbols, can be intimidating. Here, Patrick De Rynck and Jon Thompson explore more than 300 famous works spanning the Middle Ages to the late 20th century, unlocking each work's meaning. Today's art lovers lack the intimate knowledge of Greek and Roman mythology, folklore, and Christian theology that was so well-known to medieval and Renaissance artists and their public. Likewise, modern and contemporary art can baffle even sophisticated viewers. With brief yet illuminating explanations and more than 600 color reproductions - including many close-up details - of works by artists from Giotto, Botticelli, El Greco, Rubens, and Vermeer to Bonnard, Degas, Whistler, Van Gogh, Picasso, Hopper, Warhol, and Basquiat, this book provides the means to interpret and better enjoy these and many other works of art.
• Spans seven centuries of masterpiece paintings from major museum collections
• Accessible and informative for general art lovers and those looking to learn, but interesting enough to be enjoyed by scholars and experts
• More than 600 superb color reproductions accompanied by brief yet illuminating explanations
• Includes paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, and Rembrandt, to Monet, Matisse, and Pollock
A mirror for mankind
by Alejandro Córdoba Sosa, Artwork by Meli Valdés Sozzani
All the stories in this flash fiction book, long to be acts of pure sovereignty of the spirit, the howl of an indomitable character before the overwhelming drama of reality. A Mirror for Mankind could be considered a legatee of all those cultures which the author explored across the decades of a personal and spiritual search, a whole journey of the soul that can be resumed as pure love for the human condition, beautiful and suffering. Thus he was able to create a literature that responds to its own aesthetic designs, producing a personal mythological 'human comedy', giving life to characters that seem to project their existence beyond the closure of the text, embracing the reader's own thoughts.

Pine Lake RV Park is a great place to live -long term or short term. The personnel are very friendly and always willing to help. Pine Lake is like one big family, when one needs help all pitch in. I would recommend this park to anyone. It is very quiet, well maintained and pretty. Staff is always willing to go the extra mile.
A very clean park. Nicely manicured lawns. Our space was a little on the small side but had little to no trouble getting in and out of our site. About 17 miles off I-10 with easy access. Some activities in the clubhouse and no license required to fish from their lake shore. I would come back here again.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the owner and operators of Pine Lake RV Park for our enjoyable stay. As a newbie to full time RV'ing there are many things I have come to appreciate about this life style and our experiences at your park. The item I appreciate the most about your park is the security. Our previous residence was broken into with many items being taken. Working in jails and prisons for over 19 years I know there are many ex-inmates and many future inmates looking for easy targets. Pine Lake RV Park is NOT an easy target. The park is well lit with WorkCampers residing inside the park at strategic locations. Speed limits are posted and residents are continuously reminded to monitor their speed, the park is fenced and aggressive dogs are not permitted (these are a few of things my dogs enjoy about the park). Activities are scheduled for all to enjoy, such as: pot lucks, music events and the celebration of holidays for those unable to be with their loved ones due to work or distances. When my coworkers are off they are busy mowing and maintaining their residences. My days off are enjoyed traveling and enjoying the area's beaches and, fishing and golfing. I encourage everyone to get together with family or friends and experience the RV lifestyle at Pine Lake RV Park. I have met many great people. Residents of the park bond and look out for each other.
In Sept. 2006 we visited Pine Lake RV Park in transition of being transferred to the Panama City area due to jobs. We loved the serenity of the Park, but due to gas prices we moved to the beach area. We stayed at the beach area for approximately 6 months, during this time we longed for the quietness and serenity of Pine Lake. Oct 2007, we again moved to Pine Lake. Our first evening there we sat outside and listened to the "quiet". It was so relaxing to hear the birds chirp, but hardly any other sounds. Pine Lake RV Park is the most beautiful park in the Panama City area. Thanks to the management team for all the wonderful work they do to make this park one of the most beautiful in the area.
We have stayed at Pine Lake several times over the years and really liked it. But, WOW! The changes you have look very impressive and have told our friends about it. We plan to leave here next week, (If we can get things packed in time) and hope to drop in or perhaps stay for the winter.
Just a little note to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at your campground. Your Rec hall and laundry room are so nicely decorated to give a homey touch, as well as being very clean. Our campsite was right beside the fishing pond; we enjoyed watching and feeding the geese and ducks. There was so much room to wander around either on foot or bicycle, and this gave a great feeling of spaciousness. Your proximity to Panama Beach and the Florida Caverns and the other parks make it a great central place to spend the night or month of nights. The managers were so friendly and helpful, the most pleasant we have ever encountered anywhere. So thanks for a great stay and we shall see you again next year.


GENEVA (Reuters) - There has been no reverse in the trend of global warming and there is still consistent evidence for man-made climate change, the head of the U.N. World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) said on Monday.
A slow-down in the average pace of warming at the planet's surface this century has been cited by "climate skeptics" as evidence that climate change is not happening at the potentially catastrophic rate predicted by a U.N. panel of scientists.
Skeptics argue that changes in global weather are the product of natural fluctuations or other natural causes.


Seeing as 'm not gonna lie. The thought has been playing through my mind quite a bit. Personally I've always lived by the motto, "Watch out for me, cause I'm too ****ing cool for school!"
Well now it feels as if something may be missing. Almost as if I squandered my formative years in my late teens. Now to decide if I really want to pursue my secondary education.
After giving it much thought I'm about 90% positive this is the route I want to take. I feel that getting my BS and Doctorate in Philosophy is the way to go. I always quite enjoyed the courses I have taken in it and feel it could really make a difference in my life as well as that of families. Don't get me wrong, I intend to be an IBEW electrician until the day I die.
Oh and the thing I feel is missing in my life? The prefix Dr. in front of my name.
It costs a lot of money to be able to put that Dr. in front of your name.
That's a downfall to it. I ain't looked at the cost yet. However, thanks to the brotherhood, money isn't as big of an issue for me anymore. Time on the other hand could prove to be a issue. Maybe I can get a scholarship for it.
paging Dr Raider, paging Dr Raider, will the "real" Dr Raider please come to nuerosurgery immediately.
I'm a real doctor, twice.
As to the college degrees, in your case it would look like this.
Which means they would be redundant. You've been qualified for years.
And that is why we are friends. You understand the way I think.
Back to school with 2 kids? Are you sure your wire nuts aren't twisted too tight?
All i can say is go for it. I am going after my Masters right now beause the time is never right and you just gotta do it. I started my classes last August with a full-time job, a fiance and a soon to be 4 year old. You kind of get into a groove of school, work, family time...rinse and repeat. Now my quesiton is what would you do with a philiosophy degree? Also, a philosophy doctorate is not the easiest one to get as not many schools offer the program and I have heard some horror stories when you go to defend your discertation too since everyting is hteory really and not grounded in fact or actual experience.The only real option would be to teach at the college level which would be a sweet gig if you can get it, especially once you get tenure which is getting harder and harder to come by.
Have you thought about an electrical engineering degree? I know my buddy is one and he loves his job and he is working for the government right now....cake walk there and great benefits. I always wanted to work with my dad in his business as an electrical contractor and he siad not a chance....if you want to do electrical then be an electrical engineer and make the big bucks and deal with the same things he does just in a different setting.
In all seriousness though, go for it and don't look back. Sure it is expensive but it's only money and money isn't what makes anyone happy but finding what you want to be when you grow up and going for it definitely has its perks. Above all else good luck my man and i'll say it again...go for it!!!
Flyfisher beat me to the punch; saying almost everything I would say. Good advice. I'll only add two things.
As a full time, tenured professor; I can tell you it is a sweet gig.
And, regarding going back to school; better late then never. It only becomes harder as you become older, and more firmly entrenched in your lifestyle.
Skool. Inner city slang for school.
Which is why I like it. Its all theoretical. I'm good at that kind of stuff. As for the job. I intend to stay an electrician. I have no desire to walk carpet. This is just a back up. In case I cripple myself like my pipefitting buddy did. If that time comes I will look into being a professor, or successor to Copernicus.
I have a lawyer who was a union carpenter in a former life. He makes real money now.
My lawyer used to be a union electrician. Crazy how that works ain't it?
So let me get his straight....you want to stay being an electrician and go back to get your Doctorate in philosophy with no intent other than to educate yourself and prepare for the what-if scenario?
If so, that is pretty cool if you ask me. Some would argue that it is a waste of time and money but educating your self for the sake of education is the best reason in my mind to do it. Also i hope you like to read because tha amount of reading I had to do in undergrad minor in philosophy was pretty massive all things considered.
These 2 youts want to go back to skool and get a doctorate!
So let me get this straight....you want to stay being an electrician and go back to get your Doctorate in philosophy with no intent other than to educate yourself and prepare for the what-if scenario?
The reading was a large part of why I enjoyed the classes so much too. You are correct it would be education for educations sake. I enjoy learning, I love reading, I enjoy writing. I figure if I'm gonna do it any way. I might as well have something to show for it. Reading is one of my favorite past times. Doesn't matter if its medical research journals, Engineering magazines, gossip rags, various forums, or even financial publications. I enjoy reading them and trying to learn the most I can from them. I branch out into many different things in my thirst for knowledge. Just cause I hated the boring repetitive core classes at school in no way means I'm stupid. The first two years were like a repeat of high school. I was bored with them and decided against participating in them.
I've written Master level papers for people and gotten A's on them. In my entire college career and two years after it ended. I never made below a 96 on any research paper I wrote for myself or others.
My posts on here do not reflect my writing skills. Having a computer that will grammar check and spell check is a huge benefit. I just use a phone for ease of use.


I don't "unplug" often enough. I work online, I curate content all the time, and I'm always on the go. I try to take as many breaks as possible from technology to focus on what's most important to me—my family. But it can be hard to juggle everything. I took a couple afternoons off this weekend to do fun family activities and locked my phone in the glove box of my car. We did an afternoon at the waterslides and a day at the lake, phone-free and it was a total blast. There's so much hilarity I would have missed if I wasn't paying close attention. I'm so thankful I didn't miss what followed.
"How do you stay so skinny? What do you eat? Do you exercise? Tell me your secrets." The cat was uncooperative and mostly unresponsive to this line of questioning. I could hardly contain my laughter.
"What do you do when your frog does better yoga than you? I mean, other than interrupt his practice to throw him off his game." Wait…what? Your frog does yoga? I didn't think yoga was a competitive sport. We do not interrupt yoga. Even froggy yoga. Namaste etc.
"What if the wrong person gets elected in the States, invades Canada and PUTS UP A BUNCH OF SIGNS, MOM? WHAT DO WE DO?" Mental note: reduce screen time during election seasons. Be glad for childhood innocence that suggests the worst that could come from an invasion would be unpleasant signage. How incredibly lucky we are.
"If an eagle and a crow had a baby would they have an eagle-y crow or a crow-y eagle?" Add this to stuff I need to Google later! Mommy knows literally nothing about reproductive practices of birds and if that's even physically possible. The thing about parenthood is that you never know what questions will be thrown at you. It's the pop quiz you could never study for adequately.
I'm so thankful for this unplugged time where I could plug into what matters most: my people. Facebook and Twitter can wait 'til tomorrow – we've got an existential crisis about amphibian yoga to handle and feline weight loss secrets to extract.

Fearing Attacks, Catholic Church Gets Rid of Statues of Monks Beheaded By Muslims
Nouill/Wikimedia Commons
Virginia Hale
A Catholic church in Lyon, France, has sold off statues of monks killed by Muslims, for fear they will provoke attacks.
The statues, which were to be shown at Saint Louis church, honoured monks who were beheaded by Muslims in Algeria during the 1990s. The Algerian consul in the city responded with "fury" to the statues. The church sold the statues to an institute that hosts a private museum of Catholic artifacts to prevent conflict with local Muslims.
Cardinal Barbarin approved the statues to be placed in the church's grounds last year. But the more powerful Bishop of Lyon was persuaded by his personal entourage by arguments that the statues may cause Muslims to launch attacks on the works. The Bishop's aides argued, "Imagine if [someone] unbalanced [were to] to decapitate these statues?".
They argued that because there is a Salafist mosque very close to the church, such attacks may be likely. As a result of this the Bishop of Lyon decided to sell the statues to a museum.
The church had already delayed the inauguration of the statues to appease the Algerian consulate. They planned for their official launch to happen in the spring of this year. The date was moved to avoid clashing with Algerian Independence Day.
Some in the area feared the statues would provoke Muslims. The Socialist Party mayor of Lyon, Miriam Poot, said she didn't want the statues and that the church should first have consulted the district council.
French Catholic officials in Algeria were also more than reluctant about the statues being placed at the church. Lyonnais Jean-Paul Vesco, Bishop of Oram, said he worried that they would provoke attacks on them. The Catholic priest feared the message of the statues would be religious war or "embezzlement".
The Algerian consul in Lyon was "furious" about not having been informed about the statues at the commissioning stage . The consulate argued that in the context of the "dark decade" of the 1990s, when 19 French monks were slaughtered, their deaths were insignificant. They also said the statues must not "overshadow the deaths of at least 150,000 Algerians".
As a result of the controversy, the church sold the statues. Maison Saint Irenaeus hosts a variety of Catholic artifacts. Their main building serves as the premises for Radios Chrétiennes Francophones, a Christian radio service for French speakers. The statues cost €60,000, on top of money paid for cutting the stone but were sold to St Irenaeus Foundation for just €40,000.

BEST MATCHUP: Syracuse run defense vs. Pittsburgh RB James Conner. The Orange haven't allowed a team to rush for more than 200 yards since September and have held three of their last six opponents to fewer than 100. They'll get a test from Conner, the nation's third-leading rusher who averages 156 yards with three 200-yard performances this season. ''We're going to need that this week,'' Pitt coach Paul Chryst said.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS: The ACC could have two quarterbacks rush for 1,000 yards in the same season for the first time. Boston College's Tyler Murphy has 1,006 yards rushing while Georgia Tech's Justin Thomas has 827 with at least two - possibly three - games remaining. Only two other ACC QBs have cracked the 1,000-yard mark: Clemson's Woody Dantzler (2000, 2001) and Georgia Tech's Joshua Nesbitt (2009).
LONG SHOT: Boston College seems to be catching No. 1 Florida State at an interesting time, with the Seminoles coming off an emotional win over one rival (Miami) and facing another one (Florida) next week. Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher says his team must ''put that last one behind us and get ready to go.'' The Eagles are 19 1/2-point underdogs but Murphy - who didn't play against Florida State last year while he was with the Gators - could test an FSU defense that has held only two opponents to fewer than 300 total yards.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Virginia Tech DEs Dadi Nicolas and Ken Ekenam. Nicolas ranks third in the ACC with 7.5 sacks while Ekenam has 6 and they could make things tough on a young Wake Forest offensive line that has allowed 37 sacks. Only four teams in the Bowl Subdivision have given up more.

Antley receives opportunity to play baseball
Jon Rivera
Jon Rivera, Sports Editor
Traveling over 1,000 miles to attend a college might be a stretch for many students. However, being able to play baseball makes it all worth it for James Antley, sophomore exercise science major.
Antley has been playing baseball since he was only four years old. He played quite a bit of travel ball when he lived in Alabama, but then his family moved from Alabama to Louisiana, where his baseball career went downhill.
Antley played for a couple different recreational leagues in Louisiana, but they did not have the same competitive feeling as they did in Alabama.
When Antley got to middle school, he tried out for the baseball team in seventh and eighth grade, but didn't make the team on either attempt.
Antley didn't stop trying, however. In his freshman and sophomore years at Hahnville High School, he tried out for the high school baseball team. However, Antley was told "no" both times, once again.
Baseball was in Antley's blood, as he still strived for the opportunity to play despite coaches not believing in him.
Finally, Antley received a chance to play, as he made the high school baseball team his junior year. After all of his tough work, the coaches allowed him to join the Hahnville High School baseball roster.
During his junior year baseball season, he was limited to just three games in the season. After the season, Antley got cut, causing him to go down his own path for baseball.
At the beginning of spring of Antley's senior year, his recruiting process started to get really intense. He had heavy interests from five different colleges, including Lakeland.
Antley picked Lakeland because he loved the idea that Lakeland's team gave him the chance to truly compete. Despite the huge weather difference, he traveled 1,067 miles just to be told "yes."
Antley expects to be great every time he's on the mound for Lakeland. His mindset has never changed, as he says, "I'm better than every person that gets in the box and I'm going to challenge them."

Gurdwara flagpole installed in time for festive period
We are proud to have recently collaborated with Willenhall's Sikh community on the design, manufacture and installation of a new 21-metre flagpole for the Guru Nanak Gurdwara temple in Willenhall, West Midlands.
Though it sounds a simple job on the surface, the scope of this work was more complicated than you might think. The project was delivered in partnership with Fabrikat – a Nottinghamshire-based infrastructure and architectural solutions manufacturer for Lighting Columns and Guardrails and comes after the existing flagpole recently broke.
McCann's Project Manager, Nick Brownlow, was delighted to lead the project and deliver a quick turnaround for the temple ahead of the festive period.
"This is the first time we've ever done anything like this so it's been a really enjoyable learning experience for the whole team,"
"To do the work effectively, we needed to follow a 3-part process which had to take place over several, separate, day-long on-site visits. The team really pulled together and when combined with Fabrikat's expertise, it proved to be a very efficient way of working for everybody."
Key project phases included the removal of the existing flagpole and base unit, the inspection of the existing load bearing bedding grout and fixing studs to ensure they were fit for re-use, and the installation of the new 21m flagpole – just in time for December.
Nick believes that part of the project's success is owed to the warm-nature of the client, as he goes on to explain.
"The Sikh community was extremely welcoming and friendly to the whole team. It was great to learn more about the religion and its values whilst working at the Gurdwara temple,"
He continues "We discovered that the temple also provides food and water to those in need. The flagpole is so high so that it can be seen for miles – so it acts as a marker to direct those looking for the temple,"
"On behalf of the whole team, we would just like to say a huge thank you to the Guru Nanak community for being so cooperative and embracing the team with open arms. It really makes a difference and helps the project to run as smoothly as possible."

Hello, and welcome to Bookworm Mama! Today I have something very special for you...Tips for navigating this wonderful, yet sometimes daunting, bookish world that I have somehow found myself a part of. I took up reading again, and began reviewing books, the summer of 2014. When I first began I had NO idea what I was doing! I started looking up "How-To Write a Book Review", "What Makes a Good Book Blog", and so many other attempts at educating myself before I dove head first into this unknown world. While I have found many posts and sites to help encourage and direct writing a book review that is worthy of the book I am reviewing...There were many questions that I needed to find the answers for myself. Over the past six months I have compiled a list of topics that I feel aren't discussed enough in the bookish world. Not only for bloggers, but for readers and authors as well. I do not pretend to be perfect, or have all the answers, these are just a few of the things that I have learned (some the hard way) in the past couple of years reading, blogging, and observing this beautiful world of books.
Accompanying this list are some rather appropriate clips and memes of The Doctor (In no particular order). If you are unfamiliar with Doctor Who, I do apologize. This is me, letting my geek show.
1. When writing a review on a retail site....please do NOT copy and paste the description of the book. I will never read a review if it starts with the exact description that I just read at the top of the page. If you can't come up with a whole paragraph, a simple "I enjoyed this book.", "This book is incredible, read it in one sitting.", would be so much better than repeating the description.
2. Writing critical reviews. This one gets under my skin somethin' fierce. I respect the fact that not everyone enjoys the same books. Sometimes it is hard to connect with the characters. Sometimes the storyline does not flow smoothly. There have also been times that I simply did not enjoy a book. However, as reviewers and more importantly as Christians, our job should be to encourage and help the author grow and improve. Words are powerful. We have the power to build up or to tear down. I am not saying we can ONLY post positive reviews. I am simply asking you to be KIND when you write a critical review. And ask yourself, "Am I honouring God with my words?"
3. Do not give away spoilers! I always strive to keep my reviews spoiler free. When I have time I will write my own synopsis. However, I never give away more than what is revealed on the back of the book. Do not, I repeat DO NOT! give an overview of the ENTIRE book...If I want to know how it ends, I want to read the book for myself.
4. Include if you got the book for free. It is a $250 fee per site if you forget to include this disclaimer. Please don't open with that though, the short blurb you see of the beginning of a review should not be "I received a complimentary copy of this book." Your first lines should be engaging and grip the reader to want to finish reading your review. HOWEVER, I do not place the disclaimer it at the VERY end of my blog post. Just at the end of "My Thoughts". You want to make sure that it is still easily seen. See example HERE. Just to make sure my bases are covered, I include this disclaimer for the books that I have won as well.
5. When writing a book review, don't give a rating based on your experience with the retail site. Instead, focus on the product. If you had a bad experience with the retailer write a review in the appropriate location. Do not punish the author for things that are not in their control.
7. Do not base review on tiny typos or formatting mistakes. We are human, and sometimes here or there something gets skipped. If the book is simply unreadable due to the amount of errors, that is different.
8.Please, let's only rate books that we have actually read. Goodreads allows reviews and ratings to be made months before a book is available even to reviewers to read. I find this incredibly unfair. These authors haven't even finished writing the story and they are getting one and two star ratings.
9. This is a personal one and I don't expect everyone else to follow it, but...I NEVER read reviews of a book that I want to read or am about to read. I want a completely unbiased view of the book. Now, I have read reviews of books that are not on my radar, and they make me want to read a book. In fact Annie's review on Just Commonly of Rachel McMillan's book, The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder made me order the book that same day! Best decision I ever made! Also, I NEVER read reviews on consumer websites. (When I do, I regret it.) I am fiercely loyal to "my authors" and it irritates me when people give 1 and 2 star ratings for technical errors on the retailer's part or completely tear down the author(see points 5 and 2 respectively).
10. At the end of the day, it is not about the number of page views, comments, shares, or likes (although those are good)... It's about the people... Authors and readers alike. Helping the public and our friends connect with authors they would like. Building up and encouraging the authors. Letting them know that what they do is important. And that we truly appreciate all the sweat, blood, tears, and love that they pour into each and every book.
When all is said and done I hope that we all remember to respect each others opinions. We all have different tastes, because God made each one of us unique. Each author has their own writing style and every reader interprets those words on the page through their own filter. Please, above all, let's remember to honor God through what we do.
Bonus for Authors: As a book reviewer, I receive a fair amount of requests from authors asking for reviews. I thought I would add a few tips from my perspective regarding these requests. Please ask first. Do not just send the book(s) and say, "Thank you for your review". I know that for myself, I am literally "booked" months in advance for reviews. I am not the fastest reader either, so it is really hard to just squeeze in one more review.
Please be aware of the type of books the reviewer reads. Please refer to point 6 above. I can not tell you how many times I have been asked to read books that are polar opposite of the books that I read.
Please be professional. Too many times I have received requests that consist strictly of the book blurb and "I can send you the digital book." No introduction, no indication they even know what kind of books I like, nothing. I try to maintain a professional demeanor when first interacting with ANYONE. As the relationship builds things become more casual. But first impressions are EVERYTHING!
Please remember how much we value what you do! Without authors, the world would be a very dismal place indeed. Thank you for providing us with such wonderful books! I am honoured to be a part of this magical world of literature.
Many thanks to Carrie from Reading is my SuperPower and my dear friend Abi for being my sounding board for this list. Couldn't have done it without you ladies! And special thanks to my husband for proofing this post.
Sooooo TRUE!! Awwww. Thanks, my friend! You made my day.. I LOVE that I introduced you to a great author. =) And yes, I agree with ALL your points. Especially the last - I've received some very funky review requests. And you, my friend may be the only one I know besides myself that DOES NOT read reviews on books I'll be reading. YAY!! *HUGS & KISSES!!!
Eeeee! Thank you Annie! YOU just made MY day! Hugs & Kisses!!!!!
Awww thank you Carrie!!! Love you too!
I don't know your Doctor but I love this post!!! Excellent points!
Great points, Annie! I wished I had this information when I started my blog two years ago. I have flipped and flopped like a fish out of water, learning the legalities and what would and would not help the author. I still haven't figured it all out, but I'm trying. My blog time is limited now, mostly to have more time for my family. However; I still have great desire to encourage reading and in doing so, supporting authors and promoting their wonderful talents. I'm thankful for your blog,as well as Carrie's and Rachel's. You are all so much fun - Please keep up the good work!
Thank you Stacey! It does take time that is for sure! I love connecting with authors and readers! Makes my day!
Isn't she great?!! Bloggers know it's a lot of work, but they love it, because they love to share about such great works!!!
Oh, I love you for this! So perfect!!
Well said Rachel! I love your #10!~ So true!
I wish more reviewers would leave out a regurgitation of the book. Our job as a reviewer is to encourage and support the author in assisting a reader purchase their book how can we do that if we basically tell them about the book. And I hate seeing an author trashed! It's okay if you don't like the book but don't be mean to the author. These two chap my hide more than anything!
Great points. Number 5 is a particular pet peeve of mine.
Aww thanks Caryl! It has been an interesting road to learning this! And there is still so much to learn!
I love this post! I do not have a blog, and I am fairly new to regularly reviewing books. You have many helpful points, thank you for that. I won't give spoilers either. I dislike reading a full synopsis of a book in a review. I want to read the book myself. There is one particular reviewer on amazon that gives the whole story away in their reviews, it annoys me to no end.
I love your Doctor! He was the best of the new ones. Tom Baker is my favorite of the original Doctors.
Ooooh I love that you know the originals! I haven't had a chance to watch all of them yet (since Netflix doesn't have it anymore), but I do like Baker! Glad you found this helpful!!!


Insomnium has embarked on a North American tour to promote their 2016 release, Winter's Gate, a melodic death metal masterpiece. The album is one 40-minute song and Insomnium have taken on the task of playing said track in its entirety. Opening for Insomnium on this trek is Oceans of Slumber, a progressive metal band from Texas who recently released their third full-length album, The Banished Heart.
Oceans of Slumber delivered a deluge with the resonant clean vocals of front woman, Cammie Gilbert, layered with etheral keyboards and heavy guitars. Then Insomnium took the stage to perform their 40 minute opus, enveloping the audience in a blanket of melodic death awesomeness. There are still plenty of dates left to catch this great tour!

Mr Jack Vettriano May Be Sexually Rampant, And His Butler May Sing, But The Biscuit-Tin Artist Has Yet To Prove Himself On The Wobbleboard
The agony of the artist, Mr Jack Vettriano, is quite infectious. Over the years, I have grown weary to the point of exhaustion from reading about the fact that Mr Vettriano, a dauber of crude imagery, has been snubbed by the commissars of our public art collections, while his paintings, in the form of prints, and Marks and Spencers' biscuit tins, have grown ever more popular.
On the level of patriotism, one should be be sympathetic to Mr Vettriano. He hails from Fife, and that is discomfort enough for most men. He portrays himself as a lonely soul, gaining sparse comfort from the broad popularity of his works, or the wealth that they bring.
Most recently, this unfortunate son of Kirkcaldy has been charged with plagiarism. The figures in his most famous work, The Singing Butler, were, it seems, copied from an artists' manual. Mr Vettriano added the beach, while his viewing public brought their own sense of drama to bear on the work. Oddly, the fantasy of dancing on the sands while being serenaded by a butler has captivated thousands of viewers, even those who are not aware that Mr Vettriano grew up in a town where the air smelled of linoleum.
Mr Vettriano is not a versatile artist. His command of the brush is less captivating than, for example, that of Mr Rolf Harris, who is also a better soloist on the wobbleboard.
But we should not be too dismissive, as Mr Vettriano tends to react to the criticism of his work by making bizarre statements. At the weekend, he told his house journal, Scotland on Sunday, that the art world "doesn't like rampant heterosexual behaviour. Somehow," he continued, "they think that it is a bit tawdry, not what real art should be."
This remark reminded me a little of Mr Alfred Hitchcock's regrettable 1972 film, Frenzy, in which a potato merchant strangles the young women of Covent Garden with his tie. There is some unfortunate humour about rape in the film, and a good deal of unnecessary nudity. But, near the end of the picture, as the net closes around the killer, Mr Hitchcock chooses to frame him between the two prints which he has on his wall. The pictures are both by the South African artist, Mr Vladimir Tretchikoff, whose works included Chinese Girl, which is sometimes known as Blue Lady. Mr Tretchikoff was a quite terrible painter, but that did not stop him becoming, by some definitions, the most popular artist in the world, by virtue of the fact that his prints sold at Woolworth's as quickly as the Pick'n'Mix.
Clearly, Mr Vettriano is Mr Tretchikoff's heir. But he should know that rampant behaviour, whether heterosexual or not, is always bad manners.
'An unfortunate son of Kirkcaldy'. He wasnt quite as unfortunate as the town's other famous son, Adam Smith, who, as an infant, was kidnapped by gypsies. Fortunately for Smith (and for free-market economics), he was rescued by his uncle.

I once watched a wee boy take sweets from the Woolworth's pick-and-mix, give them a good suck and then return them. Does one get to do that with the paintings?


Be a bargaining point in keeping your record clean, it can be hidden anywhere the driver every year contact a specialist provider.

This week, we tested the "Original" Klondike bar. Of course, this is not a low carb or sugar-free food, but I wanted to see how the two varieties of Klondike bar compared. Let me start by saying I would commit any number of crimes for a Klondike bar. It was a taste sensation like no other. There's a noticeable difference between the No Sugar Added variety and the Original. The ice cream was creamier and the chocolate shell was thicker and more durable. That being said, I still liked the No Sugar Added bar.
I think the food companies have really perfected the taste of the Klondike bar. You hear and read stories about these food companies using flavor scientists to enhance the flavor of their foods, in hopes of selling more products. I have no doubt there was some food voodoo-ism going on with this bar. It really pushed all the right buttons in my brain. I'm sure my reaction to the bar had something to do with the strange list of ingredients found on the box.
Getting back to the original point of food testing. You can see that the blood sugar rise for this ice cream bar was more dramatic than the no sugar added bar. The average blood sugar rose 46mg/dL. It appears that the rise in blood sugar may also have been slower to come down, thus adding to the area under the curve.
You can also see the drop in my ketone levels was much more dramatic. Just out of curiosity, I extended my ketone testing for an additional half hour and the number rebounded to 0.9. I think when you're in nutritional ketosism it's fairly easy to rebound after one nutritional "insult." But if you are much lower on the scale, I'm sure the rebound would take much longer.
Next week, we'll test the Atkins Chocolate Shake.

PIEDRA'08 will take place at the same time as VETECO, the International Window, Curtain Wall and Structural Glass Show. The two fairs offer plenty of synergies in terms of their exhibitions, presenting the latest technical and aesthetic solutions in the areas of construction and architecture.
The FERIA DE MADRID will host PIEDRA'08, the International Natural Stone Fair from 7 to 10 May 2008. This year marks the seventh edition, consolidating it as one of the most important international fairs in the sector. Organized by IFEMA and promoted by the Spanish Natural Stone Federation (FDP), once again the fair will undoubtedly be characterized by its high level of business representation from the participating leading natural stone and machinery manufacturers, exporters, importers and distributors in Spain, along with a distinguished selection of foreign companies, making PIEDRA one of the most international events in Spain.

Nigel June 10, 2019 Scarborough Borough Council
As is commonly known, Scarborough Borough Council can boast more leaks than a Full Welsh breakfast. In the coming weeks, I expect some startling revelations to grace the pages of the North Yorks Enquirer – and other satirical organs. For the moment, let us hone our appetites on a series of piquant hors d'oeuvres of the third kind. The new Leader has declare himself a passionate advocate of 'transparency' and it is my pleasure to assist him in this most laudable aspiration. In fact, I look forward to publishing my own correspondence with him just as soon as he evinces the courtesy (and openness) to provide a response; sooner, if necessary.
Taxpayers (including, of course, electors) of the Borough of Scarborough may be interested to examine the following 'thread' of email correspondence between their servants – in the blue corner, Mr John NOCK (formerly a Conservative SBC Councillor and Portfolio Holder for Legal & Governance, best known for his rather pithy exculpation of former Scarborough Councillor, Mayor and Alderman Peter JACONELLI, who, Mr NOCK avers, was not a paedophile at all) and, in the red corner, the new Portfolio Holder for Governance, Legal & Events, Councillor Tony RANDERSON [Lab.].
Mr NOCK considers himself to be a 'wordsmith', which is another way of saying that Mr NOCK thinks he is a clever bastard. He could be half right. It is not known what Councillor RANDERSON considers Mr NOCK to be, though readers familiar with Richard CRANIUM may venture to hazard a guess.
The grapes are vinegar sour in Toryland.
I am saddened to learn that the new administration is content to allow the irregularities in the Constitution to be corrected by Officers – i.e. those who made a pig's ear of it in the first place. Personally, I would not trust them to draft a PSPO in accordance with statute. (More on this topic in due course).
Be it noted that, on this occasion, I have redacted the protagonists' email addresses – because I can.
From: John Nock <REDACTED >
Sent: 02 June 2019 19:32
To: Cllr.Tony Randerson
Subject: Re: Public Questions
Cllr Randerson,
I recall you requesting some months ago that a mechanism be put in place to allow public questions and comment at council meetings. I also recall saying that this was a matter that the Governance Committee would consider with urgency. A sub committee was set up to look at the Constitution in general and this matter in particular but you said that you should chair it rather than I and this caused a slight delay to the proceedings. Since then and right up to May 1st I heard nothing.
The Constitution is rightly called a living document and may be amended at any time to meet current attitudes and expectations, and you have now been in charge of the administration for a month with adequate time to put what are minor amendments in place.
Please would you be kind enough to advise how public question time works. Does a question have to relate to the agenda; can it be to a Cabinet Member, Committee Chairman, task group leader or an elected representative about other matters of concern to the interlocutor? Does notice have to be given?
I ask because even though the identities of the various committees not yet determined at last week's Council meeting are still unknown, it seems likely that questions may sometimes be more advantageously put to any one of about half of the elected members and therefore a clear indication of the procedure would be useful to have.
Thanking you in anticipation of your early reply,
John Nock.
From: Cllr.Tony Randerson
To: John Nock
Mr Nock,
I thank you profusely for your correspondence regarding the Constitution of Scarborough Borough Council.
For absolute clarity I must point out that I was quite clear leading up to the formation of this group that the Cabinet Member with responsibilities in this area should not be a member of this working group it was nothing at all about who should be chairman. That position was decided upon by the group when we all met together.
For this reason I shall no longer be a member of this group when it is reconvened. I have already suggested to our officers that it should be reconvened as soon as practicable, however Carol Rehill is [REDACTED] and much will now depend upon officer resources to undertake this task.
You will have been aware as the previous relevant Cabinet Member with responsibilities for Governance that a cross party working group was indeed set up to look into the councils constitution with a view of updating it as and where this was deemed to be required, this working group met regularly up to the local elections taking place. I have clearly indicated to our officers that this working group should carry on where we left off with regard to completing this unfinished work, however with at least two new members to take the place of myself and ex-councillor Mark Vesey.
I find your comments that this new administration has had plenty of time to put minor amendments in a five week period quite disingenuous bearing in mind that during the last 20 years the Tory administration did little to make governance more accessible.
Because we are proposing changes to the whole system, now is not the time to tinker with parts of the constitution. It should form part of the overhaul.
Tony Randerson
Labour Councillor
Eastfield Ward
Cabinet Member for Governance, Legal and Events.
Mob 07926 226904.
You have had adequate time since the formation of the Constitution working group to put in place the two amendments that you were so desperate to impose and most of that time was before the election. Work should not stop because Carol Rehill is [REDACTED]. There is a locum deputy monitoring officer whose name is Wendy Trainor. She is more than adequately qualified to write the necessary document and may be found on the second floor. Your delay could be interpreted as a change of mind now that you and the Independents are in control.
I note that your portfolio is Governance, Legal and Events. However, I am unable to determine the portfolios of the other members of Cabinet so please would you be kind enough to tell me what they are, or better still, publish the information.
The Leader said that the new committee structure would be announced in the autumn, although, to be fair, this could be in July with a bit more positive effort. Is it to be assumed that no business can be transacted until then as the statement said that these committees would advise Cabinet. Therefore one may conclude that any decisions taken by Cabinet in the short term will be taken without being researched. I am told by people who dabble in it that social media is aghast at your inactivity. The side effect of this delay is that officers do not know with whom they will be working and even less idea of the objectives towards which they need to work.
A cause for concern here in Whitby is the appointment of a licensee as Chairman of the Licensing Committee. You should be aware that there are suspicions that cronyism will play a big part in the Licensing function whilst you are in power. I have been at licensing conferences where the Licensing Department at Scarborough Borough Council was hailed as the best in the country. Please do not do anything to jeopardise that reputation.
We saw on several occasions during the last administration regular demonstrations of self righteous indignant grand standing. Suddenly you are in a position where you can put your ideologies in place, with, of course, significant help from the Independents. This is indeed an odd situation because as a party you only came third in the election, which is very different from your expectation. The labour/Independent coalition looks like a child in a toy shop; utterly bewildered with no idea where to start.
It was at about this time last year that the then leader of the opposition denigrated those who attended Mayor Making and stayed for the ensuing lunch, saying how wrong it was that elected members should be feasting at the public's expense. This was accompanied by much nodding of heads. You will recall, no doubt, that for at least three years no Labour members attended to see the new Mayor take office, and were no doubt whipped to stay away. I suppose that the whip was cracked with equal force this year to attend and enjoy the lunch provided by the largesse of the tax payer.
At a recent meeting of Whitby Town Council an elector complained that he had telephoned Cllr Stonehouse but was told that he was having his tea and that the elector should contact him the following day. This was a matter to do with anti social behaviour caused by drunks. The elector then contacted Cllr Campbell who, I understand, made an appointment with the elector which he then failed to keep. At the Town Council meeting Cllr Campbell said that the CIZ in Whitby had been lifted. He ought to be advised to pay more attention in training sessions. He didn't take too kindly to being corrected either.
I realise that some of the above comments should be addressed to the Leader but I presume he is busy either organising the committee structure or his next holiday. Sadly I feel that you, as a governing group, have made an inauspicious start to your administration. Procrastination, hypocrisy and arrogance may be the changes that we will have to accept but they are not the changes we were promised.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Governor Gary Herbert is ordering all U.S. and Utah flags at state facilities be lowered to half-staff to honor the victims of the weekend's two mass shootings.
Herbert's office announced Monday morning that the flag lowering in memory of the victims of shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, will take effect immediately.
In a statement, Herbert says Utah residents grieve alongside those who lost loved ones in "these senseless and vile shootings."
Flags at state buildings and public grounds will stay lowered from sunrise until sunset through Thursday.
Individuals and businesses are also encouraged to fly their flags at half-staff.
The two shootings killed 31 people total and left dozens wounded.

Against All Odds (1984, Taylor Hackford)
Leave a Comment	/ 1984, Film, Mystery, ⓏⒺⓇⓄ / Against All Odds, Alex Karras, Columbia Pictures, James Woods, Jeff Bridges, Rachel Ward, Richard Widmark, Swoosie Kurtz, Taylor Hackford / 26 March 2014 26 March 2014
If Against All Odds had just a few more things going for it, the film might qualify as a glorious disaster. There are a lot of glorious elements to it, even if there aren't quite enough to make it worthwhile. Or even passable.
Hackford's direction is outstanding. He's fully committed to Eric Hughes's terrible script. It doesn't matter if it's plotting, logic or characters, Hughes can't do any of them. Odds is three films stuck together–Jeff Bridges as an injured football player (an absurdly old one) who has to figure out what to do with his life, Bridges and Rachel Ward's travelogue romance in scenic Mexico, and then a good old fashioned L.A. city corruption story. Actually, the first and last tie together somewhat; it's the lengthy Mexican sojourn where Odds uses up most of its goodwill.
It gets that goodwill partially from Hackford, who's got great photography from Donald E. Thorin and outstanding music from Michel Colombier and Larry Carlton. Odds always looks good and sounds good. But there's an excellent supporting cast–James Woods is phenomenal, Richard Widmark's great, Jane Greer, Swoosie Kurtz, Saul Rubinek–they're all good. The problem's the leads. Ward is awful. Sure, Hughes writes her as an object and can't figure out her character motivation, but she's still awful. Bridges isn't any good for similar reasons; silly writing, nonsense story arc. But at least he's likable.
There are a couple moments where all the good things collide and Odds is sublime.
There needed to be more.
Directed by Taylor Hackford; screenplay by Eric Hughes, based on a film written by Daniel Mainwaring; director of photography, Donald E. Thorin; edited by Fredric Steinkamp and William Steinkamp; music by Michel Colombier and Larry Carlton; production designer, Richard Lawrence; produced by William S. Gilmore and Hackford; released by Columbia Pictures.
Starring Jeff Bridges (Terry Brogan), Rachel Ward (Jessie Wyler), James Woods (Jake Wise), Alex Karras (Hank Sully), Jane Greer (Mrs. Wyler), Richard Widmark (Ben Caxton), Dorian Harewood (Tommy), Swoosie Kurtz (Edie) and Saul Rubinek (Steve Kirsch).

Majestic lion wakes up with a disheveled mane and sends everyone into laughter
What everyone expects from the king of the jungle is to look as royalty, but even lions could a bad day at the office, and judging by this one's mane, he must have had a pretty rough night. The hilarious scene was caught on camera by a wildlife photographer and people can't stop smiling when looking at these snaps.
Tonga – one of the 77 lions that live at the Glen Garriff Conservation, a wildlife park in Harrismith, South Africa – is definitely the definition of majesty. Only this time, he's far from being majestic. The massive male just wake and his once outstanding mane now looks like it needs a hairstylist.
Simon Needham
Wildlife photographer Simon Needham, was at the right place at the right time, and captured the disheveled lion on camera!
"I had to wait for Tonga to wake up from his nap but when he did he looked completely out of it so I had to capture that moment," the photographer explained. "I had to laugh, he looked dazed and confused for a second before he shook himself off."
This isn't the first time when the British photographer is taking great snaps of the Glen Garriff Conservation's residents. Over a year ago, a series of his photos showing Moya, another gorgeous lion, went viral online. Through his work, Needham wants to raise awareness about the delicate situation of the wild African lions.
"I shoot for many wildlife charities, this image was shot for GG Conservation in South Africa to help them promote themselves for fundraisers," the photographer said. " I'm really happy to be part of bringing well deserved attention to a very worthy cause at GG Conservation Glen Garriff where they have 77 lions in their care. People love to see lions but when it's one that is in need of a serious haircut it certainly draws loving empathy and a giggle from people."
Glen Garriff Conservation is one of the few remaining places where they still "love, protect and preserve the magnificent lions." You can help them on their mission, here!
