Dust control is an important factor to consider when choosing a demolition contractor. Dust is a generic term for minute solid particles that are typically less than 500 microns in diameter. Although most people consider dust a nuisance, it's a real hazard in industrial demolition. Arizona to Arkansas, industrial demolition sites often produce large amounts of hazardous dust. Dust-related hazards vary, but can include crystalline silica, as well as dust from asbestos removal. These and other hazardous dusts may be sent into the air by the shearing and crushing that is required in demolition. Exposure to toxic dust can lead to serious lung diseases.
In the last few years, the issue of dust in industrial demolition, Colorado to Maine, has been exacerbated by aging infrastructure. (Older buildings tend to contain more hazardous substances.) In both Europe and the US, the issue has become one of legislative importance. Although there are fewer regulations regarding dust control in the UK, in the US dust suppression is mandatory in many states.
Industrial demolition sites often contain many hazards. For many people, the first toxic demolition substance to come to mind is asbestos. Although its hazards are widely known now, asbestos was used as a building material from the 1890s through the 1950s in the US, and up until 1974 in Japan for some applications. Exposure to asbestos fibers is known to cause serious health problems to humans. Another dust hazard is exposure to crystalline silica, which can lead to silicosis, a debilitating and chronic lung disease. A lesser-known environmental hazard that's especially likely in older buildings is histoplasmosis, an infectious disease that comes from inhaling the spores of a fungus found in the bird droppings and bat excrement. Exposure to these environmental hazards can lead to persistent illness, and long-term exposure can lead to death. These obvious concerns aside, breathing or being exposed to dust can be irritating at best, and can also exacerbate other diseases such as asthma.
Safely removing asbestos and other hazardous substances requires awareness of demolition dangers, first and foremost. Additionally, demolition contractors must be trained in how to use safety equipment, such as respirators and protective clothing. Wetting agents and negative air pressure enclosures can also be utilized in demolition. On large projects, an entire building is often "wrapped" with an airtight envelope that is an effective way of containing toxic dust and preventing it from escaping into the environment during construction and demolition. Portland, Oregon's Embassy Suites, for instance, were wrapped in this way during construction.
In the past, fire hoses were used to spray larger demolition sites, in order to wet dust and keep it from becoming airborne. This technique is now considered ineffective and obsolete. At best, the technique of spraying a potentially dusty site requires large amounts of water, which is likely to run off, taking potentially hazardous waste and chemicals with it. Moreover, the direct force of water from a fire hose does additional damage by disturbing dust and debris. A preferred modern demolition technique uses specialized equipment, such as a Dust Destroyer, which sprays a fine mist with particles that are about the same size as the dust particles. The mist creates a wall that the dust particles cannot penetrate. Dust-minimizing demolition equipment can be mounted on a truck, or on specially designed towers. Demolition equipment such as this can also be prepositioned in areas where dust is likely to occur.
Elder Demolition is an expert in dust control and in the removal of potentially hazardous material. You can count on us to be equipped with the latest in dust removal machinery and technology.

Yesterday, I criticized a strange embargo policy in place for an upcoming European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) conference. That policy, which drew Adam Feuerstein's ire along with mine, allowed anyone who had paid to attend the April conference — including investors — to get abstracts this week, while they were still under embargo.
For the second year in a row, the embargo policy at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL)'s International Liver Conference is exasperating reporters who cover drug companies and biotechs — chief among them TheStreet.com's Adam Feuerstein.
Did some news outlets get a negotiated exclusive on Climate Central sea rise study despite universal embargo?
Last week, Environmental Research Letters published three studies reporting higher risks of floods in U.S. coastal areas, thanks to global warming.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) will publish its final recommendations on screening for cervical cancer in the Annals of Internal Medicine and on their website on Wednesday, March 14th.
This announcement is currently public information.
The announcement then details how reporters can obtain embargoed copies of a USPSTF press release on the new guidelines, and the recommendations themselves.
I won't be breaking the embargo by saying that this involves — wait for it — women. And the USPSTF published a draft version of the guidelines for public comment in October.


It's been a while since I've updated my site. I keep meaning to, but I have a couple projects on the go that have keep me VERY busy. One of them I am going to share with you today! I am working on a three book series for Novalis publishing. They just announced the books at the Frankfurt book fair this past week, so I feel safe in doing it here as well! I promise to share more on this project as soon as I can!

And because of that even Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy had to help.

AZIZ IS TALKING
June 28, 2005 / WhoDaresWins / American Intelligence News, Iraq
BAGHDAD (AFP) – Iraq's Tareq Aziz said ousted president Saddam Hussein personally ordered the suppression of a Shiite uprising in 1991 without reference to top aides.
Aziz, who rose to the post of deputy prime minister in Saddam's regime and was one of its best-known faces abroad, said the president had absolute power in such matters, unbridled even by the 10-member Revolutionary Command Council in new interrogation footage released Monday.
"Sometime in the 1980s — I do not remember when — an order came out that the president has the right to issue decrees that would have the force of law without having to consult or discuss these decisions with members of the Revolutionary Command Council," Aziz told the judge during the interrogation six days ago.
"Who issued this order?" asked the judge of the Iraqi Special Tribunal created to try Saddam and senior aides.
"The president himself," answered Aziz.
Aziz was asked about the positions he held in March 1991, when thousands of Shiites are believed to have been killed in southern Iraq after they rose up in the aftermath of the rout of Saddam's invasion force in Kuwait.
"I was foreign minister," he said.
"Weren't you also deputy prime minister, member of the Revolutionary Command Council (RCC) and Baath Regional Command?" pressed the judge.
"Yes," said Aziz.
He was then asked about a 1991 decree giving regional commanders of the ruling Baath party "amnesty and punishment powers," and whether, as a member of the RCC, he was notified of the decree.
"It was not part of my scope of work as foreign minister," he said, dressed in a white jumpsuit and sporting his trademark thick eye-glasses.
After some prompting by the judge, he said: "I heard that some members of the regional command went to the restive areas in the south, but what they did I do not know. They were not reporting to me since I was foreign minister."

SSC Calvert City Receives its 8th Governor's Safety and Health Award
Copied from the State of Kentucky's Website
CALVERT CITY, Ky. (June 5, 2018) – Labor Cabinet Acting Secretary Mike Nemes visited Sekisui Specialty Chemicals in Calvert City today to present a Governor's Safety and Health Award for the 1,755,643 production hours worked without a lost-time incident by employees.
"Today marks the eighth different Governor's Safety and Health for Sekisui in the last nine years," Nemes stated. "That is a remarkable feat and it is something that deserves to be celebrated. It is also obvious that there is a culture here that expects safety-conscious employees who take pride in working together to keep each other safe. For this reason, it is my honor to present you with number eight today, and I hope we are celebrating number nine this time next year. Congratulations to you and all of your success."
Sekisui started in Pennsylvania in April 1963, when the Sekisui Plastics Corporation began operations, becoming the first Japanese manufacturer in North America. Since that time, it has grown to 10 individual companies, including Sekisui Specialty Chemicals which manufactures polyvinyl alcohol products found in adhesives, paper, building and construction, textiles, films, ceramics, coatings, packaging, and oilfield cementing.
"I am very proud of our focus on safety," said Craig Mitchell, President of Sekisui Specialty Chemicals America. "We appreciate the Governor recognizing companies that put safety as a top priority."
"People are the most important strength in our company and safety is and always will be the most important part of our job," EHS and Operations Director Charlie O'Rear stated.
"Kentucky applauds companies like Sekisui Specialty Chemicals that so value their workforce," State Sen. Danny Carroll of Paducah said. "This organization and its leaders have taken every measure to ensure the safety and well-being of each individual employee. I congratulate them on this much-deserved award and look forward to the company's future successes in Calvert City and beyond."
"This award speaks volumes about Sekisui Specialty Chemicals' commitment to safety, so I want to thank everyone at the company responsible for this landmark achievement," said State Rep. Will Coursey, of Benton. "I also appreciate the Labor Cabinet's recognition of those workplaces where safety is such a priority. Every employee deserves the kind of environment that companies like Sekisui provide."
The Kentucky Labor Cabinet presents the Governor's Safety and Health Award to highlight outstanding safety and health performance in Kentucky's workplaces. A business may qualify for the award if its employees achieve a required number of hours worked without experiencing a lost-time injury or illness. The required number of hours is dependent upon the number of employees.
According to a recent report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Kentucky employers reported the lowest incident rate for nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses in the state's history.
Based on a mathematical calculation that describes the number of recordable incidents per 100 full-time employees, Kentucky's rate improved from 3.7 in 2015 to 3.4 in 2016, reflecting the latest available data. This rate has steadily declined since it was first calculated in 1996, when a rate of 8.4 was reported.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that MACD and DEQ work together to set up a MOU or other process that can be tailored to fit individual districts.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that cooperation shall include timely notification, inclusion of Conservation District's Representatives in all field visits. Also included will be mutual sharing of all data, both CD and DEQ generated.

I am most honoured to have been invited to open this exquisite and enlightening exhibition, Siu ki Moana, and to see so many friendly faces. I was born here and I am always happy to visit Aotearoa/New Zealand and to strengthen the long established links between our two countries.
Today this important occasion has provided a crucial opportunity for our people to reflect on the consolidation of vital relations which have been nurtured and developed over a particular 70-year period.
Tongans and the Maori people are Polynesian peoples, but they did not meet until recent times. Polynesians migrated from southeast Asia via Melanesia about 3500 years ago. Those who remained in Western Polynesia became Tongans and Samoans. Other Polynesians, who had originally settled in Eastern Polynesia came in groups to Aotearoa and are now know as Maori.
Various European explorers touched at both Tonga and Aotearoa/New Zealand in the 17th century, but Captain James Cook was the first real link between the two countries, both of which Cook visited on all of his three voyages into the Pacific in the 1770s. The difference in the two cultures (and climates!) is demonstrated by the differences in the gifts the Maori and Tongan chiefs gave Cook and his officers in exchange for European tools and artefacts.
To Europe, in the holds of Cook's ships, went dozens of Maori cloaks, a large number of ornaments, and intricately carved objects - the artistry of which still amazes those who see them.
Aotearoa/New Zealand had many types of trees, as well as whalebone and greenstone for carving useful and decorative objects. Maori people, according to a later informant, did not drink kava and it was too cold in Aotearoa/New Zealand for coconut trees to thrive. Tongans made the best use of what they had, especially the coconut trees that grew profusely in their tropical climate.
In the holds of Cook's ships, Maori artefacts snuggled next to objects from Tonga, such as intricately woven mosikaka baskets, similar to the one once owned by our own beloved Queen Salote, which is now in the Tonga National Museum. Like the Maori, Tongans made fishing hooks, necklaces, weapons, some of which were also in the holds of Captain Cook's ships, and (like the Maori artefacts) ended up in museums throughout Europe.
The most important of the gifts that Cook and officers gave in exchange were tools of different kinds, which did not immediately replace local tools, but the style, delicacy and patterns of wooden carvings in particular were affected by the acquisition of European technology.
Between the three voyages of Captain Cook and 1880, the year in which this exhibition began, the Maori people and Tongans came to know of each other's existence, knowledge that possibly confirmed their legends about other Polynesian people, through Christianity, official visits, education, the two World Wars, trade, employment and the acquisition of the government property at 'Atalanga.
One is consequently challenged with such vital questions as "Who was the first Maori to visit Tonga?" "Who was the first Tongan to visit Aotearoa/New Zealand?" Possibly they were men who sailed on European ships as navigators or deckhands, in a journey resembling the flight of the bird upon which the name of this exhibition is derived.
In 1880 Tupou I appointed Shirley Waldemar Baker (a former missionary) as Prime Minister of Tonga. Five years later they founded the Free Church of Tonga, seceding from the Wesleyan Mission. Its first President was a New Zealander, Rev. Jabez Bunting Watkin who held that position for 40 years. Some of his children married Tongans and use the surname Uatikini.
In the late 1880s Tupou I's great-grandson Prince Taufa'ahau (later Tupou II) spent some months with a private tutor in Auckland. As King, Tupou II made a number of visits to New Zealand, seeking legal assistance in connection with the Treaty and Agreement with Great Britain that he had unwillingly signed in 1900 and 1905. R N Moody, an Auckland lawyer, became Tupou II's legal adviser.
The beginning of the 20th century was marked by the establishment of official contact between the two countries when R J Seddon, Prime Minister of New Zealand, his family, and an official party (including New Zealand parliamentarians) visited Tonga during 1900, where he met a Maori, Peter Maynard, who married a Tongan woman and had lived in Tonga for many years.
After this visit an increasing number of New Zealanders came to work for the Government of Tonga or to set up as traders, although the numbers declined during World War I and the Great Depression of the 1930s.
In 1909 Princess Salote (then aged 9 years) arrived in Auckland to live with a family named Kronfield in Eden Crescent, Auckland and subsequently attended as a boarder at the Anglican Diocesan School for Girls (there being no Methodist boarding school in Auckland at the time). Later she regretted that her education was cut short at the end of 1914 because of World War 1.
IN 1918 she was crowned as Queen of Tonga. In 1922 she visited New Zealand where the Waikato Maori greeted her as Polynesian royalty, and a well-known photograph was taken with Salote dressed in a Maori cloak and head-band, together with the Maori King, the Governor General, and some of the Tongans of her own party.
The acknowledgement of the relationship between the Maori and Tongans was repeated in every subsequent visit of the Queen to Aotearoa/New Zealand. Te Puea Herangi and Princess Piki were special guests at the double wedding of Her Majesty's sons in June 1947. When Queen Salote was in Paris in 1953 some Maori friends brought food to the hotel where Salote and her party were staying.
Rev. Edwin Harkness came from New Zealand to serve in the Free Church of Tonga for about 10 years, until 1922. After J B.Watkin's death in 1925 another New Zealander Rev. Robert Gordan-Kirgan was President of the Free Church from 1927 until about 1930. In 1954 the New Zealand Catholic Bishop Rodgers succeeded the French Bishop Blanc.
In 1926 New Zealand was represented at the centenary of the coming of Christianity to Tonga.
Between the wars, some Tongans came to New Zealand for education or to live, many of who attended Wesley College, such as the retired Prime Minister Baron Vaea. Most had a papalangi Tongan mother. Gloria Rawlinson, the poet, who was born in Ha'apai in 1918, was brought to New Zealand in 1924. In 1938 Queen Salote's youngest son came to study with a private tutor.
In 1939 queen Salote called for volunteers to join the Tonga Defence Force. Two New Zealand officers immediately arrived in Tonga to train the volunteers. More officers and other ranks followed. Indeed, there was a New Zealand presence in Tonga throughout the War.
Some Tongans were sent to Aotearoa/New Zealand to be trained as officers. 'Alipate Tupou, appointed to the noble title of Vaea in 1942, joined the Royal New Zealand Air Force ferrying supplies in Catalina planes from New Zealand to the Solomons.
As may be expected, many friendships were formed between Tongans and New Zealanders during the War – and some marriages occurred.
Queen Salote was a great believer in education – for both boys and girls. She had sent her half-sister, Princess Fusipala, to attend the Anglican Diocesan School for Girls in Epsom 1921-1924. Her Majesty Queen Halaevalu Mata'aho attended St Mary's convent school in Auckland. If the parents could not afford boarding school fees Queen Salote would write to the General Secretary of the Methodist Board of Missions in New Zealand asking if he could arrange accommodation for the Tongan girls with good Methodist families.
Good copra prices during, and after, the War enabled families to educate their children overseas especially in New Zealand, initially for secondary education followed by academic as well as technical tertiary education.
The appointment of Prince Tupouto'a-Tungi (now His Majesty) was as minister of Education in 1943 led to an increasing number of Tonga Government scholarships for overseas study and the consequent assumption of important positions in government, education and the churches by New Zealand-educated Tongans.
The New Zealand Government acceded to Prince Tupouto'a-Tungi's request for New Zealand teachers to come to teach in Tongan government schools for a minimum of two years without losing any of their New Zealand benefits.
In 1952 the Government of Tonga bought 'Atalanga, a house on a hill surrounded by nearly forty acres, in Epsom Auckland. Queen Salote used this property not only for members of the royal family but as a centre for all Tongans. She built hostels for Tongan female and male students in Auckland. By gathering Tongans at 'Atalanga she ensured that they did not forget their Tongan roots and also kept a close eye on the progress of the students, and wanted to know why if a student did not do well.
Although no one was more conscious of rank and hierarchy when in Tonga, Queen Salote was inclusive in her social contacts in New Zealand. Her Maori friends, academics, representatives of churches, politicians, former papalangi residents of Tonga, and friends from her schooldays joined with the members of the Epsom Methodist church at Greenwood's Corner (where the Queen was a regular attender) for afternoon tea and garden parties at 'Atalanga.
It is not surprising then that there was a Tongan community in Auckland to keep vigil for the Queen when she was lying in state in government House in Auckland in December 1965 before she was taken home for burial in Tonga. The Waikato people also came to tangi for her. And thousands of distinguished and ordinary New Zealanders came to pay their respects to the Queen they had come to know and love.
Although this exhibition ends in 1950 I would like to acknowledge the New Zealand volunteers who came as teachers and Aid workers in later years. This gesture of commonality between two countries led to many friendships between individuals. For many Tongans Aotearoa/New Zealand became their second home. For many New Zealanders Tonga became their second home.
An increasing number of Tongans now living in Aotearoa/New Zealand were born here, and think of themselves and Tongan New Zealanders. They have contributed to this country as labourers, health care and community workers, sportsmen, educators, artists, musicians and entertainers. Some have contributed enormously to the churches in New Zealand as priests, ministers and lay people. Many of these settlers manage to visit Tonga from time to time for anniversaries and funerals, but their real home is now Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Through all these interactions Tongans and New Zealanders have come to know each other well and both Aotearoa/New Zealand and Tonga have benefited from these contacts.
And now it gives me immense pleasure and pride to declare open the Siu ki Moana Exhibition.
Tonga is 770km south east of Fiji, 1190km north-east of Auckland and 3220km north-east of Sydney. Tonga's population is approximately 105,000.

In Virginia there are an array of different assault related charges that someone can face. Below, a Virginia assault lawyer discusses these charges and the penalties that they carry. To learn more about assault call today and schedule a free consultation.
What Is Considered Assault Under Virginia Law?
An assault is an overt act with the intent to do bodily harm to another together with a present ability to cause such harm, or it is an act intended to place another person in fear or apprehension of bodily harm. The act also has to create in that other person a reasonable fear or apprehension of harm. That is the legal definition, but there are many real-world ways that it sis charged.
An assault is different from assault and battery in Virginia, but they are charged the same way and are prosecuted in a similar fashion. The punishment for each is the same. An assault is essentially a threat with the ability to carry out that threat immediately that puts that person in reasonable fear of harm. Words alone are not an assault. But if there are words and there is some attempt or effort made to cause someone else harm or fear combined with the ability to do it, then someone can be charged and convicted of assault.
Assault is a very unique crime in Virginia in that assault itself is a misdemeanor offense and can only be charged when someone does something with the intent to do bodily harm to another person, together with the immediate ability to cause that harm. So, there is no real aggravated assault in Virginia because an assault is the threat to do harm. There is a completely separate charge for assault and battery which occurs when someone touches another person in a rude or angry manner, such as a punch. And if you cause serious damage to another person, or use a weapon to touch that other person, there are more serious felony charges that can be brought like Unlawful Wounding, Malicious Wounding, and Aggravated Malicious Wounding, which carry very serious sentences.
Additionally, in Virginia, if you assault and batter someone , even though that is typically a misdemeanor, it can be charged as a felony if if the assault victim is chosen because of their race, ethnicity, religion, and several other factors under Virginia's hate-crime legislation.
What Are The Penalties For Simple Assault In Virginia?
Penalties for simple assault in Virginia are 0 to 12 months in jail, and a maximum $2,500 fine. And typically, the court will impose other sanctions such as no contact with the victim, no return to the place where the assault occurred, or anger management or mental health treatment and counseling. The court can place you on probation as well, but probation isn't common in simple assault charges.


The Street Reporters Newspaper …Breaking News with Integrity!
Ondo State Deputy Governor, Ali Olanusi, has been impeached by the State Assembly.
He was removed Monday morning following the submission of the report by the seven-man panel headed by Mr. Olatunji Adeniyan on the allegations leveled against him.
Twenty two of the 26 members of the Assembly supported the impeachment of the Deputy Governor.
The motion for his impeachment was moved by the majority leader, Ifedayo Akinsoyinu, from Ondo West 2 and seconded by Olatunji Dauro from Owo 2.
The Speaker, Jumoke Akindele, subsequently ruled that all government property in the custody of the Deputy Governor be retrieved by the Permanent Secretary of the Deputy Governor's office.
The Assembly had on April 22 served an impeachment notice on the removed deputy governor.
Some of the allegations levelled against him include financial misappropriation, absenteeism from official duties and causing disaffection in the state cabinet.
The House maintained that its action was in consonance with the 1999 Constitution.
He, alongside Governor Segun Mimiko, left the Labour Party, on which platform they were elected, to join the PDP.
There were indications at press time that the state Commissioner for Agriculture, Alhaji Lasisi Oluboyo may have been nominated as the new Deputy Governor of the state.

China expels American journalists
On Wednesday, March 18, the Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs announced that the correspondents of the three biggest American dailies – the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and the Washington Post – would lose their accreditations and would not be able to work in China. This is a retaliation for the order to halve the staff of the Chinese media which have their agencies in the USA (Xinhua, CTGN, People's Daily, China Daily, China Radio International).
On Wednesday, March 19, 2020, a statement entitled "China is taking action to counteract the restrictive measures taken against Chinese news agencies in the USA" appeared on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China. The document announced the expiry of the accreditation of the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and the Washington Post. Within four days, journalists whose press accreditations end this year are obliged to come to the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing and, within ten days, pass their press cards. Initially, the case concerns at least 13 journalists, who will lose the possibility to cover events not only in China, but probably also in Hong Kong and Macau.
In addition, Time magazine and Voice of America (VoA) radio as well as all mentioned dailies have been called by the Chinese authorities "foreign missions" and have been requested to submit written declarations informing about employees, finances, operations and real estate in China.
This is a response to the decision of the USA authorities made a month ago (announced on February 18 and coming into force on March 3), limiting the number of Chinese citizens employed by the agencies of the Chinese media in the USA – the Xinhua press agency, CGTN television, the China Radio International (CRI), the China Daily and the Renmin Ribao daily. According to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the United States considers them as foreign missions, which in practice are controlled by the communist authorities in Beijing. The Chinese MFA said that such "unjustified restrictions" handicapped the work of reporters and are an example of "political oppression". At that time, in Beijing, it was decided to cancel the accreditation of three Wall Street Journal journalists working in China, officially because of the publication of an article from February 3 entitled: "China is the real sick man of Asia". What is important, earlier, the same journalists visited Xinjiang and collected material about the persecution of the Uyghurs and sending them to re-education camps. Beijing's policy towards Xinjiang (East Turkestan) has been criticised for many years because of the attempts to impose sinicisation of the region and the oppressive measures taken against people who support provincial autonomy. Xinjiang, together with Tibet and Taiwan, is an extremely sensitive issue for the communist authorities, who aim to gain control over the flow of information from this area.
If content prepared by Warsaw Institute team is useful for you, please support our actions. Donations from private persons are necessary for the continuation of our mission.
The actions against journalists are part of the escalation of China-American tensions, including the dispute over the origins of the coronavirus and the information war in its broadest sense. Foreign media, undermining the message promoted by the CPC, are becoming an opponent for the Chinese authorities in the information war. For this reason, they increase pressure on journalists to limit press materials which put the communist authorities in a bad light. According to the press freedom ranking, China is only 177th out of 180 assessed countries. On March 2, the Foreign Correspondents' Club of China alerted in its annual report, that Beijing is expanding the scope and scale of its influence on journalists so that media information is consistent with the party line.
It is difficult to say whether the ban on particular journalists will be also applied to Hong Kong. According to the basic law and the doctrine of "one country, two systems", Hong Kong ensures freedom of the press and work visas for foreign journalists are processed in the Hong Kong Immigration Department. Described events are another attempt to restrict freedom of speech in China and an additional matter of dispute between the USA and China aiming to protect their own interests.

For 55 years, the role of "the Doctor" on BBC's most recognizable program has only been portrayed by males. Thanks to the casting of Jodie Whittaker, a new era of the show has begun.
"Doctor Who" is one of the most popular British television shows in history. It has been airing since 1963, and in that time, the lead role has been held by 12 different actors, all of whom were men. Fans of the show know the character can be any gender, let alone species, due to its ability to regenerate, but the change has still generated both praise and criticism from the show's dedicated fanbase.
While the character's regeneration is usually met with some criticism from fans who don't like the chosen actor, Whittaker has been scrutinized solely because she is a woman. It's blatantly obvious that these criticisms are either misinformed or a product of unadulterated bigotry and misogyny.
Of those who object to the change, most argue that either the character "can't" be a woman or that the BBC, which has produced the show since its inception, made the decision for political reasons. They see it as a kind of publicity stunt or a reaction to society's recent (and necessary) increased focus on women's rights. The network has disagreed with both of these claims, citing that the character may change to any species or gender and that Whittaker won the job fair and square. To any who believe having a woman in the role is "unrealistic" or "outlandish," the network has pointed out that the Doctor is a time traveling alien that has two hearts and is over 2,000 years old. In essence, they want viewers to realize that the character has many unorthodox qualities, and incorporating one more would just continue to add to the character.
Not all of the previous actors to play the role agree on the casting. The fifth Doctor, Peter Davison, argued that the character provided a role model for young boys, who also need someone to look up to. However, what he fails to understand is a statement best summed up by Colin Baker, another actor that took on the role: "you don't have to be of a gender to be a role model." Of the more recent actors to play the part, nearly all wholeheartedly support Whittaker and the BBC.
This instance of a woman portraying a historically male character is but one example of a global cinematic trend. American movies like "Ghostbusters" and "Oceans 8," which were successful at the box office, brought new perspectives to films that had previously lacked female representation. These films were highly anticipated despite the fact that neither film scored higher than a 74% on Rotten Tomatoes. Not only are these types of films important to continuing the conversation of women's role in society, but they're profitable for studios as well. These movies may not have been Oscar winners, but the refreshing aspect of having a largely female cast was felt by many people around the world, raking in millions of dollars for all stakeholders involved.
"Some stories are very universal. When you switch the genders, you can tell the same story and also have another angle to it," Olgar said.
More representation is never a bad thing. One benefit of having more representation is the effect that it can have on young women and girls. By seeing someone who looks like them on screen, children can be inspired to take on those roles in their lives. Boys have ample opportunities to relate to leading actors on screen; it won't hurt to spread the wealth a little.
"Girls are affected a lot by seeing strong women take on these big roles in movies because it can inspire young girls to be empowered, and it gives them a strong message that one day, they too can be successful," Stephens said.
"Doctor Who's" Oct. 7 season premiere grossed 10.8 million viewers. This is the largest audience for a season opener since the rebirth of the series in 2005. Whether or not people agree with the casting of Whittaker, audiences were clearly interested enough to tune in, and the show is currently experiencing a revival thanks to the revitalization provided by Whittaker. Audiences are sending a clear message: diversity is important.


Personal computers are very cheap nowadays, any low price netbooks must have much better performance than Raspberry Pi, so why we use such an deficient card-size computer like Pi(may be autosadism)?
Or consider another question: we already have many very popular embedded platforms, such as Arduino, and Arduino is very cheap, too, so why we use Raspberry Pi to do something it can do?
I want to talk about this from my personal view.
Let me start it from a story. Long time ago I ever wanted to build a system which combines the desktop & embedded software, e.g. a handheld device which has an embedded OS, it can interact with the Windows software. But I couldn't develop the embedded software myself due to my knowledge limitation, so I always want to learn some embedded software development knowledge since then, but because of busy work the plan has be lying on the table for a long time. Sometimes I think that how wonderful it is if I can use C++ to invoke STL library to write programs on the embedded system, then I can use some of the knowledge which I already had to make my wish reality.
Finally Raspberry Pi came to my sight one day. A Raspberry Pi which installed with Arch Linux ARM acts like a full functional desktop computer and I can write C++ programs with not much difference as that on x86 computers!
And the Raspberry Pi has a super low price, super low power consumption, ultra small size, all these combined together make my dream of "do something" reality.
That's why I love Pi so much. Although I'm not as brilliant as those talented people and I'm not able to use it to design an amazing system, I still found my joy from it.

Q: Google Apps Script - How to stream JSON data into BigQuery? In this reference https://developers.google.com/apps-script/advanced/bigquery,
In order to load CSV data into BigQuery, they use:
var file = DriveApp.getFileById(csvFileId);
  var data = file.getBlob().setContentType('application/octet-stream');

  // Create the data upload job.
  var job = {
    configuration: {
      load: {
        destinationTable: {
          projectId: projectId,
          datasetId: datasetId,
          tableId: tableId
        },
        skipLeadingRows: 1
      }
    }
  };
  job = BigQuery.Jobs.insert(job, projectId, data);

As I understand, they send a blob to BigQuery file.getBlob().setContentType('application/octet-stream');, which is not friendly
How to send a JSON to BigQuery in Apps Script?
With the library @google-cloud/bigquery (using in a project outside of Apps Script), I can do something like this:
https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/streaming-data-into-bigquery#streaminginsertexamples
// Import the Google Cloud client library
const { BigQuery } = require('@google-cloud/bigquery')
const moment = require('moment')

exports.insertUsageLog = async (userId) => {
  const datasetId = 'usage'
  const tableId = 'logs'
  const rows = [
    // The JSON data is collected here
    {
      timestamp: moment.utc().toISOString(),
      userId,
      // Something else ...
    },
  ]

  // Create a client
  const bigqueryClient = new BigQuery()

  // Insert data into a table
  await bigqueryClient
    .dataset(datasetId)
    .table(tableId)
    .insert(rows)
  console.log(`Inserted ${rows.length} rows`)
}

A: The data payload to BigQuery.Jobs.insert() has to be a blob.
You can create that blob from either CSV content or a newline delimited JSON. Newline delimited JSON is a distinct form of JSON that is required by BigQuery. It is not natively supported by Apps Script. However, you should be able to convert standard JSON to that format by creating a custom replacer function and passing it as a parameter to JSON.stringify(). Alternatively, you might be able to leverage an existing Javascript library (you might be able to find something via NPM or just doing a search on Github).
Once you've generated a newline delimited JSON (as either a string or a byte array) you'll need to convert it to a blob using Utilities.newBlob() and pass it to the BigQuery.Jobs.insert() method.

Assassin's Creed 3 Remastered: The Switch Version Disappoints Digital Foundry
Jenni Smith
With a couple of months behind the other consoles, Assassin's Creed 3: Remastered has finally landed on Nintendo Switch, allowing even hybrid users to embark on the American adventure as Connor. Unfortunately, it seems that from a technical point of view not everything went the right way.
At first glance, Assassin's Creed 3 Remastered surprises by definition: in the docked mode it runs at 1080p resolution, a great improvement over Wii U 720p and perfectly in line with PlayStation 4. Too bad the title sacrifices a lot on the visual level: many effects are missing, shadows and environmental occlusion are of low quality and post-processing anti-aliasing is not very effective. In portable mode, the resolution drops to 720p, even in this case a more than decent value, but further steps are taken back on filtering and texture resolution, as well as the depth of field.
On the framerate side, Assassin's Creed 3: Remastered points to 30fps in docked mode. Overall, it offers better performance than editions of the past generation of consoles, but in big cities like Boston, the framerate drops to around 25fps. Exactly as it happens in other titles for Switch, in portable mode it gains 1-2 fps, thanks to the decrease in resolution and overall quality.
The other game contained in the package, Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation, runs at 900p in docked and 720p in portable, in both cases without anti-aliasing. Strangely, in the first mode, the framerate is unlocked and ranges from 20fps to 40fps. In the second, the 30fps block is foreseen. For more information, we advise you to watch the attached video at the top of the news.

Q: how to access Google Cloud Datastore through JDO, JPA or Objectify? I'm using Google Cloud Datastore  and I'm ok with it, but I have faced with an issue: is it possible to access Google Cloud Datastore (not GAE) through JDO, JPA or Objectify?
If yes, how to authenticate and connect them?

A: The Cloud Datastore API does not currently provide client libraries that support JDO, JPA, or Objectify. However, we are working on porting the App Engine Java client library to work on the Cloud Datastore API, and that should enable JDO/JPA/Objectify as well.

Whelanslive.com is proud to bring you The Midnight Hour. Showcasing the best new talent in Ireland.
Tickets: FREE before 10:30pm, Club entry applies after 10:30pm (Thur/Fri/Sat)
Doors: 11:30pm
Check it out in Whelan's every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, just beside the smoking area.
THE COLD 100
Standing on their own in a new musical genre, The Cold 100 play the 'blooze'. The music they
make isn't your standard 12‐bar blues, and it isn't just rock 'n roll; neither adequately describes
their sound – it's heavy, it's loud, it's the blooze!
The blooze, as a genre, is the up‐start son of Chicago electric blues, and rock 'n roll of the late
60s & 70s. There's fuzz, there's harmonica, there's volume; there's tube amps, heavy drums &
humbuckers. Pure rock n' roll flows from the core of The Cold 100, however there's a seething
undercurrent of the blues nestling underneath.
The Cold 100's live shows are a visceral and exciting experience, and with groove and feeling
driving the music of the band; this makes them different to any musical act your likely to see.
The Cold 100 have played almost every venue in Dublin city, and the band were finalists in the
prestigious King Kong Club, held at the Village Venue, in Dublin in December 2010, where they
won a slot on bill at the Life Festival. Their live reputation precedes them ‐ they're really not to
be missed!
The Cold 100 began life in 2007 when Simon Delaney & Mark Walsh (singer & guitarist
respectively) started writing songs together, after discovering that they weren't the only two
people in Dublin who listed to Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. After deciding
to electrify their sound, they enlisted bassist George Forsyth Jr. and drummer Vinny Keogh to
provide the groove required to give the songs the feeling of the great rock 'n roll music from
the late 60s & early 70s, that they so much love.
After the successful release of a limited edition run of CDs of 'Red Headed Woman'in March
2009, along with an accompanying video (by acclaimed director Sara Faulkner), The Cold 100
entered the digital age with release of 'It Ain't Easy' on itunes at the end of 2010. The band will
be back in the studio over this coming spring and summer, and are planning to release an
extended player by the autumn of 2011.

Obesity is a chronic as well as a progressive condition, similar to high blood pressure or diabetes. Obesity is characterized by additional body fat that can affect or threaten your health. Several organizations, including the World Health Organization, the Canadian Medical Association and Canadian Obesity Network, now consider obesity to be a chronic disease.
In Canada, one in four adults and one in 10 kids have clinical obesity. This means around 6 million Canadians are currently living with obesity and may require immediate help to maintain their weight.
Obese children are at a greater risk of becoming obese adults and can suffer from a number of health consequences, including elevated cholesterol levels, blood pressure and stress. Examining trends in childhood obesity is significant to assess ways to decrease its burden. Obesity rates among youth and children in Canada have almost tripled in the last 30 years.
Obese children experience both physical as well as emotional health problems.
In some situations, medication may be prescribed for children as part of an overall weight loss plan. One common weight loss drug, generally prescribed by doctors in Canada is Orlistat (Xenical) for adolescents. This drug prevents the absorption of fat in the intestines. Now you can order Orlistat (Xenical) or any drug prescribed by your physician online via http://www.canadianpharmacylink.com/. Canadian pharmacy links provide medications at your doorstep.

Unlike a divorce, separation does not mean the end of your marriage; it simply means that you and your spouse choose to live separate lives while remaining legally married.
The intent of a separation is to work out an agreement and/or court order, for things like the division of your assets, child custody, visitation, and support. This court order aims to protect your interests until you reconcile, file for divorce, or the death of either party.
A separation is not a necessary step in obtaining a divorce. However, if the decision to divorce is made down the road a judge may decide that since you were satisfied with your legal separation agreement, the same arrangement should carry over to the divorce settlement agreement.
If the decision to divorce is made, the separation agreement can likely be converted into a divorce settlement agreement.
Many legal separations bring to the table a host of complicated and sometimes highly contested issues, which range from child support and custody to business ownership and investments. At Goldberg Jones our legal separation lawyers have been representing husbands and fathers in obtaining a Oregon State legal separation agreement for over 13 years. When couples legally separate but don't file for divorce, their marriage is in a sort of limbo. A lot can happen during this stage of separation, so you will want to make sure you have appropriate representation.

AO On Site for the 54th Venice Biennale 2011: Preview (with photoset) of Allora & Calzadilla's "Gloria" at the U.S. Pavilion
All photos by Caroline Claisse unless otherwise noted.
Representing the United States in the Venice Biennale 2011 is artist duo Allora & Calzadilla. Based in Puerto Rico, the real-life couple Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla's work is deeply political, though they would have you think otherwise.
The exhibition, entitled "Gloria," features six newly commissioned works. It is curated by Lisa Freiman, chair of the contemporary art department at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the institution the U.S. State Department entrusted with the selection. The organizing committee is the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice. Previous representatives of the U.S. are Bruce Nauman (2009) who won the Golden Lion for his country, Felix Gonzalez-Torres (2007), Ed Ruscha (2005), and Fred Wilson (2003).

The selection came as something of a surprise, as Allora & Calzadilla have not completely been on the art world's radar until their recent show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, "Stop, Repair, Prepare: Variations on Ode to Joy for a Prepared Piano" (created 2008, performed in 2010).
If they weren't before, the art world now stands firmly behind the artists: present at the opening of the Biennale exhibition were museum directors Glenn Lowry, Richard Armstrong, and Adam Weinberg (of the MoMA, Guggenheim, and the Whitney, respectively) as well as Performa director RoseLee Goldberg.
Freiman spoke to Artinfo about their very involved education program that would "reach beyond the Biennale" and "especially address under-served youth," which she thinks added considerable value to their project application for the State Department (and it certainly doesn't hurt to have Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama in the government). "Instead of doing something more superficial, we really wanted to focus it and give life-changing experiences to a handful of kids. So we're initiating a dialogue between teenagers from Indianapolis, Puerto Rico, and Venice. We're also going to be putting together a documentary about their exchanges, in relation to what they come to understand about art history and the Biennale, for the IMA's Art Babble."
The pair see their job as artists as researchers– Allora told Art:21, "What we do often with our projects is research – it's a chance to learn something more about something in the world and form a response." In their Biennale exhibition, the artists are interested in the power dynamics and consumption patterns of American.
Sculptures have dual uses: an army tank doubles as a treadmill, a pair of airline seats functions as a landing pad for gymnasts. The same is true of Algorythm (2011): what appears at first sight to be a church organ is in fact an ATM. Lisa Freiman's best categorization of the duo? Surrealists.
When Artinfo's Ben Davis asked the duo about their politically-leaning work, Allora responded, "In all of our works, the relation to politics starts from these more essential questions about what constitutes the nature of experience, and then later, about how those types of experiences are manipulated or controlled by organizations of power. And that would be the relation to politics that we have. It's not ever any direct, didactic political message. We're not interested in that notion of politics. Politics to us would be essentially this idea of questioning — what is the nature of these relationships that exist today, and how do they fit together, and how can they be untied and organized in new ways? Which essentially is a formal question."
On the unmissable metaphor of their pavilion, Calzadilla added, "the nature of the national pavilions is very similar to the Olympic Games. Each nation selects their best artist and puts them in a competitive setting. And then one gets a prize. So it is very similar. We are kind of playing with the idea of what other nation-based events there are that achieve the spectacular level of the Venice Biennale." Allora, born in Pennsylvania, and Calzadilla, born in Cuba, have worked together since 1995.

Two color woodcut
Printed by Annalise Gratovich assisted by Nicci Arnold
Published July 2018 by Evil Prints, St. Louis, MO
Join me in supporting the Texas Civil Rights Project as they work tirelessly to reunite families separated by the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy while advocating for over 350 clients across the state of Texas. My goal is to raise $2,000 for TCRP through five sales of this edition. To reach this goal, I will donate a $400 tax deductible amount of each $600 print purchase to TCRP. Below you will find my statement on this hand-carved and hand-printed woodcut, information about Texas Civil Rights Project, and stories from TCRP's clients' first hand experiences with this humanitarian disaster. This page will be updated as more information is provided to me.
"TCRP is fighting around the clock to reunite the 381 families we represent and to ensure that they get excellent legal representation on their underlying immigration claims. We'll continue to go to court every day in South Texas to monitor and protect against the ever-changing policies of the Trump Administration for as long as it is necessary. Our lawyers are working to stop family separation permanently in an action against the United States before an international human rights body called the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. At the same time, we are working hand in hand with our partners across Texas and the country to end the Zero Tolerance policy and ensure that no human rights or civil rights violations of the nature we saw at the border these past weeks are allowed to continue, resume, or take place ever again."
About my woodcut: Yucca and cactus appear in my work often- these plants signify endurance, resilience, protection, they are also a symbol of my homeland. The border wall is not something many of us in Texas, or those who live along the border want- it's a humanitarian, cultural and ecological disaster. What is currently happening here is unacceptable- the state sanctioned violence towards migrants and refugees- the psychological torture of separated families and stolen children. There are people who join the organization Border Angels to create water stations for those traveling through the desert, or simply leave jugs of water along pathways for those who find and need them. Border patrol cut open these jugs- not only wasting the precious lifesaving water inside them but also destroying the vessels so they cannot be used again. This action to me is such a simple distillation of the inhumanity of border politics and the violence of nationalism. I'm honored to have this opportunity to partner with others in supporting TCRP as they work to reunite separated families and demand that everyone involved in this crisis is treated with the dignity and humanity they deserve.
"Vilma Lopez Juc de Coc was forced to flee her village in Guatemala after her husband was brutally murdered. Despite her low income, Vilma managed to leave with her 11-year-old son in order to save them from the killers. Upon being detained by Border Patrol agents, her son was taken away from her. The agents told her that she wasn't allowed to see him. They said she'd be deported, but not whether her son would join her, or if she'd be reunited with him. She hasn't seen her son since they were separated on May 22, 2018."


The 2019 school year began as it always does, with a Whole School Mass celebrating the Feast Day of our founder St John Bosco. This was an important part of the start of the year, where we gave thanks for our holidays and focused on some key things for the year, including being holy. This notion of holiness will be explained further in my article on the Strenna for 2019. Father Greg Chambers, our new Rector, along with Father Cantamessa and Father Laurie Moat celebrated the Eucharist for us, supported by three of our dedicated servers. Our celebration began with a procession of all our Year 7 and new students, each of them being welcomed by a member of the Senior Leadership Team and their Head of House. They received blessed College and House badges which I am sure they will wear proudly. The Class of 2019 also ceremonially processed in and received their blessed Year 12 badges from members of the Senior Leadership Team and Year 12 Oratory teachers. They have already begun to display them with pride, amongst the other badges on their blazer lapels that they have collected on their journey.
Throughout the Mass, Father Greg spoke of love, kindness, happiness and making sure we all do our very best. The boys' attentiveness during the mass, their responses and the way they showed respect during the procession was beautiful. It demonstrated their awareness and understanding of the significance of all elements of the Opening School Mass.
At the end of Mass, we made a quick change to settings and began our first Whole School Assembly for the year. During the Assembly we made a number of presentations. Ms Carolyn Ellul (Director of Staff Development) introduced the new staff to the College community. With ACC Sport playing a significant part in many boys' school program, Mr Steven Loonstra (Head of ACC Sport) informed us of the Senior Sports captains for Term One.
The Heads of House also took the opportunity to publically acknowledge the Year 10 and 11 House Leaders. The Leaders also assisted during the mass by leading the Year 7 procession and helping with the distribution of badges.
It was a wonderful celebration of all that is Catholic and Salesian. The boys were dismissed for lunch in good spirits enjoying an chocolate Freddo frog as their welcome back treat!
A big thank you to all involved in making this such a wonderful beginning to the school year.

Baku's disinterest in interstate alliances can be explained by its strict unwillingness to live in conditions where it would have to take "multilateral interests" into account, as these usually lead to some infringements on its own sovereignty. President Ilham Aliyev has clearly stated that Azerbaijan is not interested in European integration and the European path is not the one for his country. At the same time, Baku is prepared to develop and deepen bilateral relations in conditions of equal partnership with virtually anyone. Because of the problem in Karabakh, Azerbaijan is forced at times to act with an eye on Russia and avoid making any sharp "movements" in Russia's direction. Other constraints may include the Russian market, in which a large part of Azerbaijani agricultural products have traditionally been sold, and the large number – at least a million – of migrant workers in Russia. These factors can be considered as Moscow's levers of influence over Baku. Experts are inclined to think that Azerbaijan's interest in international alliances depends in inverse proportion on the volume of energy harvested. That is to say as soon as a decline is noted in the oil and gas production industries, which, based on a number of prognoses could happen by 2020, this will reflect accordingly in the self-sufficiency of the Azerbaijani state, which might begin to look interestedly into multilateral unions.
The situation here is opposite of that in Armenia, even disregarding the fact that Russian capital is represented in significant volumes. Moscow's main problem is the virtual absence of a "pro-Russian bridgehead" that it could count on. In recognizing the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Russia deprived itself of effective leverage over Tbilisi. Reintroducing a trade embargo for the sake of carrying out its goals is regarded as a dubious exercise. First, Russia takes its international image quite seriously, and, second, as experience shows, while the Russian market is of course important for Georgia, its loss is not fatal.

We are sad to state that old friends turned bitter rivals.
Former pound for pound boxing wizard Floyd Mayweather has reignited his beef with rapper and entrepreneur Curtis Jackson AKA 50 Cent over social media.
Last few weeks two celebrities were busy mentioning some pretty sensitive personal information to the public.
Curtis "Confidential Informant" Jackson, you're mad because your oldest son Marquees mother doesn't want to be with you! Your Son, your own flesh and blood don't want nothing to do with you! You haven't had a hit song on radio in who knows when and you're definitely not hot enough to even sell records anymore so Interscope dropped you. You are jealous of any rapper, athlete or entertainer that's hot or got something going on for themselves. You are a certified snitch and we got paperwork to prove it. You talk about Ja-Rule but you stole his whole style and ran with it! You're the only self proclaimed gangster that's never put in work! You need to pay homage to the real 50cent for stealing his name and his storyline. Your claim to fame was getting shot numerous times & living to tell it and you think that's Gangster? Where at? You're currently living in a fucking apartment in Jersey, you are always in somebody else's business just to stay relevant. You should just become a blogger cause it's obvious you don't have nothing going on in your life. Are you mad that Kanye West ended your career? The only thing you got going on is Power and everybody watches that because Ghost is a dope ass character on the show. You can leave the show everybody will still watch Power, but out here in the real world I'm The Real Ghost. That's not a Mansion in Connecticut that you're in debt for, that's a dump, a money pit an oversized trap house! It was dope when Mike Tyson had it in the late 80's early 90's, but you couldn't afford to maintain it. You're always talking about somebody is broke, but the last time I checked it was Curtis Jackson that filed for bankruptcy not Floyd Mayweather. So quick to gossip like a Bitch, why don't you tell everybody how you got Herpes from DJ. Where's your memes for that, huh? Or better yet, post on how your Coca-Cola deal wasn't really 300 million you fucking liar and tell how that spinning G-Unit necklace that somebody got robbed for was fake. Just remember, I was with you everyday and your driver Bruce was my driver also. I know where all your bones are buried, so be easy Curtis Jackson! And by the way, don't ask to borrow no more money from me.

And of course Fifty who is a pro at wars of words had something to respond: "This was Floyd rough draft before he got his ghostwriter involved. LOL get the strap #lecheminduroi," he wrote on IG.
After that Floyd entertained his public with some posts escalating the beef.
You're Not Supposed To Be Beefing With Me. You're Supposed To Be Beefing With My WATCH. Me And You Are Not On The Same Level!!!

Another stage of the conflict was featured with some dark stories. As Generation Iron reports, apparently it seems that the beef between Floyd Mayweather and 50 Cent has reached an entirely different and disturbing level as the rapper, actor, and entrepreneur has alleged that the former pound for pound boxing king was the reason behind his close friend's murder-suicide case.
According to them, 50 Cent implied that Floyd Mayweather had an alleged affair with the wife of his friend, leading to horrifying murder-suicide. Earl Hayes murdered his wife Stephanie Moseley and subsequently took his own life after the fact. Many were unsure what the exact details were regarding this case, but now 50 Cent is alleging it stemmed from the affair between Moseley and Floyd Mayweather.
IG: @50cent
"Floyd, you are the champ but you a sucker at heart. You want it all. I know, I watched you do some foul s–t to Reala and he is your best friend. When he broke up with his girl Jessica, you kept her around, got her an apartment, bought her a car because you wanted to f–k her. Reala ain't sweat it. He was keeping it, playa. Haze just wasn't built like that. Tell everybody why you was on FaceTime when he killed Stephanie and himself. Because he was confronting you about f—–g his wife. You was pumping all that Trey Songz s–t, get the f–k outta here. You didn't give a f–k you just went to watch the ball game. get the strap #lecheminduroi"

I didn't watch the game so I don't have any analysis.
I knew this year would be a bit uneven and inconsistent, but I was hoping maybe Coach could hang his hat on sweeping AFA and Wyo. That won't happen now. Unfortunate but it is what it is.
I also try to keep hoops and football separate. I don't think losing yesterday is some symbol of the AD not caring about the Wyoming rivalry. We're just in a crappy stretch.
But that being said, I hope in our AD's goals for the department that it's made very clear as to the importance of beating both Wyo and AFA. It should be made clear that this is extremely important at CSU to alumni, fans, etc.
Hell, maybe grab Tom Ehlers and have him teach a history lesson or tell a story to every team (all sports) about the Wyoming rivalry to stress its importance.
This isn't rocket science.... Wyo hates us. They think of us in terms that we think of CU.
