Techniques For Saving On Taxes From Warren Buffett
byChristine
By Ryan Velez
It's been a longtime known fact that the extremely rich will do whatever they can to minimize their tax payments, including exploiting legal loopholes.
What isn't known is that some of these techniques and ideas can be used by anyone, even the middle class. One example is billionaire Warren Buffett. While his savvy of the tax rules leads to him paying fewer taxes than many average people, Celebrity Net Worth reports on some of the things that can actually benefit everyone, provided they understand the rules.
One thing to note is that investments and income are not the same as far as taxes are concerned. Last year, Buffett reported $11.6 million in gross income and paid $1.85 million in federal income taxes, with a tax rate that already seems low at 16%. However, when you realize that his net worth actually grew $12 billion in 2016, the tax rate drops to 0.002%. How is this possible? Income from investments, such as capital gains and dividends, is taxed lower than earned income. Virtually all of that $12 billion growth Buffett had last year was in stocks, none of which are considered income by the IRS.
Another thing you may want to consider is using your retirement account to help lower your taxes. Anyone who contributes to a traditional IRA can set aside $5,500 to be deducted from their taxable income. This increases to $18,000 for a 401(k), and certain pension and self-employment plans allow higher contributions still. Those who are over 50 have the opportunity to contribute further money. As an example, a 50-year-old business owner who earns $300,000 in profit can shelter up to $60,000 of it in a tax-deferred retirement account. This allows them to avoid paying taxes on that $60,000.
One technique that may favor the wealthy a bit more, but can still technically be used by all, is using donations as a way to get deductions. Note that if you choose this route, the best choice may not be to donate straight cash, but instead use appreciated assets, such as stock. Look to Buffett, who has pledged to give virtually all of his money to charity and makes his annual donations in Berkshire Hathaway stock. The result is that he never has to pay taxes on his capital gains, and can deduct the full market value. Don't be afraid to think like a billionaire when it comes to your taxes, as you may be able to save more than you think come tax time.

Carriera
Appassionato di moto sin da giovane, Schurgers esordì nelle competizioni nel 1965 con una Morini 50 sul circuito di Rockanje, debuttando nel Motomondiale al GP d'Olanda 1967, terminato all'ottavo posto con una Kreidler 50.

L'anno successivo Schurgers fu notato dalla Van Veen, importatore olandese Kreidler, che gli fornì un motore ufficiale attorno al quale costruì una moto da corsa con la quale fu quinto ad Assen, prestazione che gli valse l'ingaggio come pilota da parte del team olandese per la stagione 1969, nella quale fu campione nazionale della 50. All'interno del team Van Veen Schurgers non ricopriva solo il ruolo di pilota, ma anche quello di tecnico: sua l'idea della Kreidler 50 GP "bassotto" con telaio ribassato, nella quale il pilota guidava stando sdraiato sul serbatoio della moto, migliorando l'aerodinamica.

Nel 1970 l'olandese partecipò a tutto il Mondiale, ottenendo i suoi primi podi iridati (secondo in Germania Est e terzo in Jugoslavia e Belgio) terminando la stagione al sesto posto, piazzamento migliorato nel 1971 (terzo).

Nel 1972 la Van Veen non riconfermò Schurgers come pilota (mantenendolo però nel suo organico come tecnico e stilista), permettendogli di correre in 125. A tal fine si costruì una bicilindrica partendo dal basamento di una Bridgestone Dual Twin 175 cm³ due tempi a cui sostituì i cilindri con altri di derivazione Kreidler e utilizzando un telaio simile a quello da lui ideato per le 50 da GP, con la quale fu nono a fine stagione. Con la stessa moto si ripresentò la stagione successiva, ottenendo una clamorosa vittoria in Belgio davanti al campione del mondo in carica Ángel Nieto, il terzo posto a fine stagione dietro alle Yamaha ufficiali di Kent Andersson e Chas Mortimer e il titolo di campione olandese della ottavo di litro.

La carriera di Schurgers si interruppe in pratica a fine '73, poiché l'olandese fu impegnato a tempo pieno come designer nel progetto della OCR 1000, maximoto con motore Wankel costruita dalla Van Veen; corse ancora i GP d'Olanda 1974 e 1975 (ottenendo due quinti posti) e qualche gara a livello nazionale fino al 1978.

Chiuso anche il rapporto con Van Veen, Schurgers aprì nel 1978 uno studio di design attivo principalmente nella realizzazione di carenature e codoni per motocicli. È una presenza frequente nelle manifestazioni dedicate alle moto d'epoca, pilotando le Yamaha del Yamaha Classic Racing Team.

Spore counts are based on randomly chosen paddocks throughout the district, with grass samples supplied on a regular basis by these contributing farms. The grass sample is cut from grazing height at several points throughout the sample paddock so as to give an accurate count.
If you would like to check the spore count of a particular paddock or area you can bring a sample in to us at either our Opotiki or Whakatane clinic. You need to provide at least 60g of grass cut (not pulled up) at grazing height, and make sure to include grass from several different parts of the paddock. The grass should be supplied in a clean, dry plastic bag. You can expect to receive the result of the spore count by the end of the day.
When the spore count is high it's time to get protecting your animals from Facial Eczema. Click here to download our Facial Eczema handout.

Yahoo Offers Creative Commons Search Engine
Loren Baker March 24, 2005
Yahoo has released a search service for searching the Creative Commons database of content which is available for reuse and redistribution. Most material on the Internet comes with a full copyright, Yahoo Creative Commons search helps developers and site owners find content published by authors that want sites to share or reuse it, under certain conditions. The new search service was announced on the Yahoo Search Blog today, with a special guest post by Creative Commons creator Larry Lessig.
Larry also praised the new Yahoo CC search on his own blog:
Late last night, Yahoo! launched a Creative Commons search engine, permitting you to search the web, filtering results on the basis of Creative Commons licenses. So, as I feel like I've said 10,000 times when explaining CC on the road, "Show me pictures of the Empire State Building that I can use for noncommercial use," and this is the first of about 13,000 on the list.
This is exciting news for us. It confirms great news about Yahoo!. I met their senior management last October. They had, imho, precisely the right vision of a future net. Not a platform for delivering whatever, but instead a platform for communities to develop. With the acquisition of Flickr, the step into blogging and now this tool to locate the welcome mats spread across the net, that vision begins to turn real.
One nice addition is the check boxes for selecting to search content available for commercial reproduction or content which can be modified upon.
More from Yahoo:
Copyright applies fully and automatically to any work – a photograph, a song, a web page, an article, pretty much any form of expression – the moment it is created. This means that if you want to copy and re-use a creative work you find online, you usually have to ask the author's permission.
This "all rights reserved" protection is good thing for many authors and artists. But what about those who want you to use their work freely without permission — but on certain conditions?
This search engine helps you quickly find those authors and the work they have marked as free to use with only "some rights reserved." If you respect the rights they have reserved (which will be clearly marked, as you'll see) then you can use the work without having to contact them and ask. In some cases, you may even find work in the public domain — that is, free for any use with "no rights reserved."

Life är den amerikanska soul- och funkgruppen Sly and the Family Stones tredje studioalbum, släppt i september 1968.

Till skillnad från sin föregångare, Dance to the Music, blev aldrig Life någon kommersiell framgång för gruppen - trots att albumet mottagit mycket positiva recensioner av musikkritiker genom åren. Många av låtarna, som "M'Lady", "Fun", "Love City", och även titelspåret blev dock populära nummer under gruppens konserter.

Många av låtarna på Life har samplats flitigt av andra artister, främst inom hiphop och electronica. Speciellt populärt har Greg Erricos trumsolo på "Love City" blivit. Introt till "Into My Own Thing" samplades 2001 av Fatboy Slim som använde det i sin hit "Weapon of Choice".

Phillies fans will never forget this offseason. Two surprising and impressive trades, a couple big signings of veterans, and the long, winding, ultimately successful path to bringing Bryce Harper aboard.
On Tuesday at 8 p.m., NBC Sports Philadelphia premieres "Signing Harper," a one-hour documentary focusing on the behind-the-scenes process for the Phillies to land their man. There will be exclusive interviews with Harper, his agent Scott Boras, Phillies managing partner John Middleton and his wife Leigh, and more.
The path to Harper wasn't easy. Free agency opened on Oct. 29 and Harper agreed to his deal with the Phillies on Feb. 28. Four whole months of false starts and social media sleuthing from information-starved fans. Harper knew all along the process would likely linger into February or March.
The Nationals reportedly offer Harper a 10-year, $300 million contract, which he rejects. The deal, Harper would later say, included $100 million in deferred money that he'd receive at age 65.
Deferalls are nothing new to the Nationals, who have used them in the contracts for Max Scherzer and Patrick Corbin and even on a one-year deal for Brian Dozier this winter.
It never made sense for Harper to forgo free agency and the bidding war that would ensue.
Free agency begins — three words that mean a lot less in baseball than in basketball and football. The absence of a salary cap or salary floor in MLB causes players to linger on the open market. At least a dozen teams had no interest in spending this winter, and some of the most aggressive pursuers of Harper and Manny Machado did not emerge until the end.
Nov. 16 — "Stupid money"
Middleton tells USA Today that the Phillies are "expecting to spend money and maybe even be a little bit stupid about it."
The quote goes viral and is repeated on Philadelphia airwaves every day for nearly four months.
In the end, the exorbitant sum of money was spent in a shrewd way.
The Phillies sign Andrew McCutchen to a three-year, $50 million contract, beginning the process of reworking their outfield. Was it more than most anticipated McCutchen would receive? Yes. Looking at this offseason retrospectively, it was a necessary move. The Phils could have gone with Michael Brantley on a two-year deal closer to $30 million, but there is a case to be made that McCutchen fits this team better because he's substantially more durable.
Out of nowhere, the Phillies ship Carlos Santana and J.P. Crawford off to Seattle in exchange for Jean Segura and relievers Juan Nicasio and James Pazos.
In one fell swoop, Phils GM Matt Klentak turned two weaknesses — shortstop and the non-fit of Rhys Hoskins in left field — into a strength. Maybe someday Crawford will pan out in the big leagues. He will open 2019 in the Mariners' minor-league system. There is no question Segura is the better hitter and defender at this point, and at 29, Segura fits well into the Phillies' timeline to contend.
The Phillies meet with Boras to discuss Harper and Zach Britton. The Phillies had interest in Britton in the summer of 2018 as well but he went to the Yankees both times.
The Phillies host Manny Machado, initially believed to be their on-field preference over Harper, for a visit. A construction worker yells at Machado to "Do the right thing and sign!"
Machado leaves Philly without a contract and takes two more months to make his decision.
The Phillies firm up their meeting with Harper, which takes place five days later in Las Vegas. No offer is made ... yet.
Jan. 29 — Does Vegas know something?
The Phillies' World Series odds are changed to 12/1, fifth-shortest in MLB and a surprising figure for a team coming off an 80-win season. Fans speculate that Vegas has to know something.
In reality, betting sites were protecting themselves by making the Phils' odds so short, in case they did land Harper or Machado.
Acquiring J.T. Realmuto would be the top move for almost every other team in baseball this offseason. It turned out not to be for the Phillies, who acquired the best catcher in baseball exactly three weeks before agreeing to their deal with Harper.
Jorge Alfaro and top pitching prospect Sixto Sanchez were shipped to the Marlins for the All-Star catcher. Realmuto will bat fifth for the Phillies and has a chance to do things at the plate he couldn't in Miami, where the ballpark is cavernous and the lineup protection was nonexistent.
Machado signs a 10-year, $300 million contract with the San Diego Padres, who did not emerge as a serious player for him until mid-January.
There is reason to believe that members of the Phillies' front office preferred Machado over Harper at one point, but that shifted as the offseason wore on and Phillies people saw how much the fanbase preferred Harper and how much of an economic boost Harper would provide over Machado.
Nats owner Mark Lerner says on NBC Sports Washington that the Nationals have "moved on" from Harper, removing one major threat for the Phillies.
"We've moved on. We had to," Lerner said. "There was no way we could wait around. ... We've filled out our roster."
Middleton meets with Harper and Boras a second time. Middleton's wife, Leigh, and Harper's wife, Kayla, are present. No deal is struck, but the right impression is made on both sides.
Feb. 25 — Have Phillies lost Harper sweepstakes?
Tension grips Phillies camp as their lead in the race for Harper appears to shrink with the Dodgers and Giants negotiating with Harper in a meaningful way.
All along, it was assumed that Harper would prefer one of the California teams because of the short trips between his Vegas home, spring training in Arizona and the regular season in Cali.
All along, most misread Harper's priorities. Geography and opt-outs didn't matter nearly as much as the baseball world believed.
A historic end to the month of February for the Phillies, who reach a 13-year, $330 million contract with Harper.
The total money was on par with expectations but the years were not. The shocking 13-year deal pays Harper an average of $25.38 million per year, more money than he'll ever be able to spend but not enough annually to prohibit the Phils from making necessary signings and extensions in the years to come.
Jim Salisbury takes us inside the Phillies' negotiation process with Harper, which included a 15-year offer, a short contract at an astronomical price and more. Some incredible details here.
At The Yard Podcast: Harper rounding into form; why Pivetta in Game 2?
There were some really entertaining moments for Phillies fans in Thursday night's game.
J.T. Realmuto battled through a 16-pitch at-bat in the first inning and fouled off 10 straight pitches. The crowd loved it and gave Realmuto a loud ovation even after he struck out.
And then, in a tie game in the top of the ninth inning, Nick Williams made one of the strongest and prettiest throws you'll ever see to cut down a run from left field and give the Phillies life heading into the bottom of the ninth. Williams' throw registered at 95.5 mph, according to Statcast. To put that in perspective, neither starting pitcher threw a pitch that hard in a combined 12 2/3 innings.
But Realmuto's grueling at-bat and Williams' eye-popping hose work were merely footnotes to what turned out to be another bad night at the yard for the Phillies. Their 3-1 loss to the Miami Marlins in 10 innings at Citizens Bank Park was their sixth defeat in the last eight games (see observations). After coming out of the gate with an 11-6 record and getting everybody pumped up, the Phils are now 13-12.
Manager Gabe Kapler wore this defeat for his decision to use reliever Hector Neris for a second inning of work. Neris, with significant help from Williams, got out of the ninth without giving up a run. He went back for the 10th and twice was one strike away from getting out of that inning. But he gave up a two-out double to Neil Walker on a 2-2 pitch then a two-run homer to Starlin Castro on a 2-2 pitch. Walker hit a splitter, Castro a fastball.
"I didn't put Hector in the position to succeed right there," Kapler said. "He's been so good all year. I really wanted to lean on him. That's on me. I trusted him and really wanted him to get through that second inning for us and felt really confident in him. But I knew what was best for Hector was to get him out after that first inning of work. That one is on me.
As much as Kapler tried to take the blame, he was far from the engineer of this loss.
This one was on the offense. Aaron Nola pitched well in a duel against lefty Caleb Smith. Adam Morgan got another huge out. Seranthony Dominguez pitched around trouble and delivered a scoreless inning. So much lined up for the Phillies — if they only could have gotten a big hit.
This game was theirs to be had in the sixth inning. Andrew McCutchen led off with a double and moved to third on a fly ball by Realmuto. Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins then both popped up against the stingy Smith to end the threat.
An inning later, Cesar Hernandez doubled with one out and died on second when Sean Rodriguez and Williams struck out.
That's 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position in the sixth and seventh innings.
Like Kapler, Harper raised his hand and took blame for the loss.
Harper is 10 for 51 (.196) over his last 13 games and five of those hits came in one game last week in Denver.
But he wasn't the only hitter who did not come through Thursday night. The Phils had just four hits. Their Nos. 2 through 5 hitters were 0 for 15 with a walk.
How will Phillies handle center field with oft-injured Quinn down again?
This one is on the offense. The Phillies were held to just four hits in suffering a 3-1 loss in 10 innings to the Miami Marlins on Thursday night.
Starlin Castro broke a 1-1 tie with a two-run home run against Hector Neris in the top of the 10th to propel the Marlins to victory.
The Phillies' Nos. 2 through 5 hitters went 0 for 15 with a walk.
With a chance to take control of the game, the Phils went 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position in the sixth and seventh innings.
The Phillies are now 13-12. They have lost six of their last eight.
The Phils are 2-2 against Miami.
• Nick Williams, who entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the seventh and stayed in to play left field, made what at the time was a game-saving throw to cut down a run at the plate and end the top of the ninth inning. Williams' perfect throw came in at 95.5 mph.
• Williams' throw bailed out Hector Neris. Neris gave up a two-out double and a two-out homer in the 10th as the Marlins took the lead.
• Adam Morgan relieved Aaron Nola with two outs and runners on the corners in a tie game in the seventh. He retired pinch-hitter Isaac Galloway for one of the game's biggest outs. Morgan has not given up a run in 10 1/3 innings (13 games) this season.
Nola, who showed signs of putting it together in his previous start at Colorado, was very good in this one. He allowed just a run over 6 2/3 innings. He gave up seven hits, all singles, walked one and struck out four.
Miami lefty Caleb Smith was also very good, holding the Phillies to three hits and a run over six innings. He walked one and struck out eight.
Smith allowed a second-inning homer to Sean Rodriguez for the Phillies' lone run.
Though J.T. Realmuto did not get a hit in the first inning, he provided some entertainment for the crowd as he battled Miami lefty Smith through a fairly incredible 16-pitch at-bat. Realmuto fouled off 10 straight pitches before ultimately striking out, but the crowd appreciated the duel. The cheers became louder with each ball Realmuto fouled off and he received a loud ovation while walking back to the dugout at Smith prevailed.
Another injury for Roman Quinn. What it means for the Phillies' outfield picture (see story).
Jerad Eickhoff makes his first home start of the season Friday night against Marlins' right-hander Jose Urena.

Net Entertainment announced that it had signed an agreement with technology company Amaya, which operates worldwide and owns the online poker brand PokerStars.
The software provider NetEnt confirmed that this deal involves the supply of desktop and mobile games for the PokerStars platform in the United States. In Europe, Amaya has already been a customer on Net Entertainment's books.
As a result of this agreement, Net Entertainment will pursue a transactional waiver from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement. This waiver will allow Net Entertainment to launch operations with PokerStars, while the application for a full license remains in review status.
Recently, PokerStars released information concerning its launch date. According to PokerStars, the site, found under PokerStarsNJ.com, will accept real money wagers from the 21st of March.
This development comes after NetEnt announcing partnership with other New Jersey-based casino companies, including bwin.party, Golden Nugget, Resorts Casino and Caesars Interactive Entertainment.
"I am very pleased that we have been able to extend our successful partnership with Amaya's extremely popular gaming brand PokerStars to also include the regulated online casino market in New Jersey," said Björn Krantz, Managing at Net Entertainment Americas.
Sam Hobcraft, Director of Casino at Amaya, is equally enthusiastic about the developments and noted that "Integrating NetEnt's top tier games will be an important part of developing into one of the leaders in online casino in New Jersey."

Summary: In this major new work of feminist film criticism, Mary Ann Doane examines questions of sexual difference and knowledge in cinematic, theoretical, and psychoanalytic discourses. Femmes Fatales examines Freud, the female spectator, the meaning of the close-up, and the nature of stardom. Duane's analyses of such figures as Pabst's Lulu and Rita Hayworth's Gilda trace the thematics and mechanics of maskes, masquerade, and veiling, with specific attention to the form and technology of the cinema. Working through and against the intellectual frameworks of post-structuralist and psychoanalytic theory, Doane interrogates cinematic and theoretical claims to truth about women which rely on judgements about vision and its stability or instability. Reflecting the shift in conceptual priorities within feminist film theory over the last decade, Femmes Fatales addresses debates over female spectatorhsip, essentialism and anti-essentialism, the tensions between psychoanalysis and history, and the relations between racial and sexual difference. Doane's nuanced and original readings of the femme fatale in cinema demonstrates that confrontations between feminism, film theory and psychoanalysis can be productively destabilizing for each discipline. -- PUBLISHER

Notes: From the invention of the moving picture to the first sound movies From the first moving pictures (the Lumiere brothers' 1895 L'arrive d'un train), early westerns, fantastic pictures, and nickelodeons all the way through the golden age of silent film in the 1920s, this book covers the first three decades of the moving picture around the world. In America, we witness the birth of Hollywood, circa 1910, where film quickly became a powerful industry and D. W. Griffith put American cinema on the map; later, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton developed a new language of visual comedy while eccentrics like Erich von Stroheim and Cecil B. DeMille turned cinema into a high art form and show biz respectively, and sex symbols like Rudolph Valentino and Greta Garbo heated up the screens. Meanwhile, in Europe, German directors such as Ernst Lubitsch and Fritz Lang were establishing their careers and Russian greats Eisenstein and Pudovkin were already revolutionizing a nascent art form. At the end of the 1920s the very first "talkies", albeit rudimentary ones, brutally crushed the silent art, but by 1930 sound masterpieces such as Sternberg's The Blue Angel and Milestone's All Quiet on the Western Front were produced. This exploration of the founding years of cinema offers a fascinating perspective on a period in movie history that is far too often overlooked in our times. -- jacket blurb

Home MMO News It's Got SOUL: Rift's 2.7 Binding of Blood Update
It's Got SOUL: Rift's 2.7 Binding of Blood Update
A new update has crawled out of the cracks for MMORPG Rift, harnessing a significant collection of new content and lore along with its emergence. 2.7, or "Binding of Blood" is officially live, and will be leaving a trail of raids, quests, destruction and Hellbugs on the path behind it for the next few days.
"Binding of Blood" brings four new souls, allowing the Warriors and Rogues the ability to heal, Mages the opportunity to tank-one out, and provides Clerics with a little more oomph in their ability to support. This allows for each player to sustain themselves more as an individual unit, and creates an opportunity for party's and solo champions to explore the new update on a more level playing field.
Upgrades to the user interface such as Crafting, Wardobe, Quests and Achievement Tracking have also arrivcd upon 2.7's implementation. A new collection of chapters and quests have been written into the lore of Binding of Blood, elaborating on how these new obtainable souls have come to exist, and where their destiny lies.
Many more features are to be seen in the upcoming days, including some more Tier 3 Raids, a week long "Unicorn Celebration", and a return of the notorious Hellbugs. Summerfest is also in store, giving all those hard working heroes out there a moment to stop a smell the roses on a scavenger hunt or two.
"Binding of Blood" is worth a looksie for any Rift veteran– and any potential rookies looking to learn the ropes can find more info at the official website.
Anon May 9, 2014 at 6:11 pm
It's funny because this got about 4 people replying. Very popular game guise!
10 people playing Rift might be a stretch, has the population dropped even further? Dead game is dead. Sad to see Trion having so many issues letting it go finally. They should really just focus on their latest failure.
InDaFace May 10, 2014 at 4:39 am
why cant you accept that rift has so many players and its a success? what is your problem?
NobleNerd May 10, 2014 at 9:45 am
Because truth hurts and can not be changed. Truth is Rift lost it's population a long time ago and all the free to play did was revive it for a short time and then most people moved on again.
InDaFace May 10, 2014 at 1:07 pm
I guess you forgot the "steam-isation"
LOL May 11, 2014 at 4:11 pm
Even the buggy Dust 514 has more players.
ACTUALLY May 8, 2014 at 1:56 pm
is dolan
Anon May 8, 2014 at 9:51 am
It's kinda cute that Rift still updates the game for the 10 guys who still play.
InDaFace May 8, 2014 at 10:41 am
I think you mean 10×100.000.
Anon May 8, 2014 at 11:06 am
I'm not sure how 1000 players is any better LOL.
'Meh May 8, 2014 at 11:17 am
Retardboy Anon…using commas or dots depends on the country youre from. In most European countries a comma would be just fine and since you know what he really meant youre just dumb.
100.000 = 100.
Don't particularly care if some ass-backwards country thinks a period = comma.
Not the same my friend, we're on an English speaking site.
Also lern2apostrophe. "youre" isn't a word. Can't quite understand what you're saying.
Nice try though kiddo. Better luck next time.
Ninetenduh May 8, 2014 at 4:34 pm
Actually it does not matter which country it is but 100000 is always 100.000,00, to make it much clearer you could always write 100000 or 100000,00, that would still be correct. That counts for US, UK, EU even Asia.
And i sadly couldn't Reply to the Anon but none needs Grammar Nazis.
Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen May 9, 2014 at 1:36 am
Ninetenduh are you retarded? In the US, the number 100000 is presented as 100,000. We don't use periods here to replace commas, we use it to denote decimal places. But even that doesn't matter, because the correct way to denote 100,000 is 1×10^5.
I´m a moron.
InDaFace May 9, 2014 at 7:42 am
Clever boy, you are not clever. 100.000 in greece is 100,000 on other countries.
So it means its 1 hundred thousand players.

EVANSVILLE — Last month, we reintroduced you to each of the locals in NCAA Division I basketball and gave an update on where they are going to school and how they're doing.
There are 15 Evansville-area men and women active in D-I. One player is redshirting. A handful of others are receiving minimal playing time. Yet, a few others are having breakout seasons and leading their teams to success.
Reitz graduate Jaelan Sanford's 16.7 points per game are sixth-best in the Mid-American Conference, and he's scored double figures 15 times in 18 games. He leads the entire conference in minutes played at an average of 35.4 per game for Toledo (12-6, 4-1 MAC).
Sanford recently scored his 1,000th career point — only 45 Rockets have ever scored that many. He's also averaging 3.3 assists per game and has started all 84 games he's worn a Rockets uniform.

Tori Schickel (Mater Dei) had an eventful start to 2018. She was named the Big East Player of the Week on Jan. 8 for averaging a double-double during a three-game stretch before also scoring her 1,000th career point on Jan. 10. Now a junior, she has been the Big East Player of the Week three times in her career.
Schickel has eight double-doubles this season and is averaging 16.8 points and 10.3 rebounds. She's on pace to become the third Butler women to have 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in a career.

As the all-time leading scorer among boys and girls, Jackie Young (Princeton) has been a household name in Indiana for years. Now the Atlantic Coast Conference is learning who she is with No. 5 Notre Dame off to a 16-2 start.
Young ranks in the top-15 of five statistical categories in ACC play and has already surpassed the 11 double-digit games as a freshman with 13 this season. She tied her career high of 23 points last Thursday against No. 11 Louisville. Oh, and she's been playing with a broken nose for a month.

Another prolific scorer, Tyra Buss (Mount Carmel, Ill.) recently set Indiana's all-time women's basketball scoring record and is on pace to become the sixth men's or women's player to surpass 2,000 in a career.
Buss also owns the program records for free throw attempts and makes and is on the verge of setting the record for steals and assists, too. She's fifth in the Big Ten in points per game (39.4) and first in minutes played (39.4).

Jack Nunge (Castle) has seen his playing time at Iowa (10-9) drop since Big Ten Conference play began. He's averaging just six minutes in each of Iowa's past four games and hasn't had many opportunities to fill the stat sheet. He's still the team leader in steals, is second in blocks and fifth in points.

Ernie and Everett Duncan (Harrison) each have started every game for Vermont (14-5) and have combined for 17.5 points per game. Ernie has made 43 of 100 3-pointers attempted, which ranks him 47th nationally.

Maura Muensterman (Mater Dei) has only played two of Belmont's six Ohio Valley Conference games because she was sidelined with an injury. She came off the bench in each of the last two and averaged 13.5 points. The Bruins (16-3, 6-0 OVC) could go deep into the conference tournament at Ford Center in March.

Similarly, Emily Sullivan (Memorial) has played 10 games for North Carolina (13-5) since battling mononucleosis to start the season. She's averaging 3.2 points and 1.6 rebounds
The trio of Central High School alumni is also receiving limited playing time. Zuri Sanders has made four starts for Texas Tech and is averaging 2.9 points and 1.6 rebounds. Her younger sister Zion Sanders, a freshman, is averaging 3.5 minutes at Iowa while Errin Hodges has played in just seven games for Northern Illinois.
And the two locals who stayed close to home, Blake Simmons (Castle) and Dru Smith (Reitz), have done their best to keep Evansville competitive as the team battles the injury bug.

Smith is 17th in the country in steals per game (2.4) and 65th in assists (5.0) while averaging 12.8 points and shooting 59.1 percent from the field. Simmons is enjoying the best season of his career, averaging 11.6 points while reaching double figures in nine of his last 11 games.
In Division II, Alex Stein (Reitz) and Adam Eberhard (Memorial) were recently named to a watchlist for the "Bevo" Francis Award given to the best Small College Basketball player in the country. Both are in the running for All-America recognition.
Stephanie Sherwood (Memorial) is averaging 13.5 points at Maryville.

Scotty off of Star Trek
Scotty off of Star Trek relaxes at home in his Star Destroyer. As can be seen from the door in the background, grafitti was a major problem with the Star Trek set.
The oft-quoted line.
Scotty's second album, Up Yer Core, made poor sales after he confessed on Oprah that his mojo "couldnae stand the strain"
"Beam me up, Scotty"
~ Captain Kirk on beams
"Synthetic scotch, synthetic commanders..."
~ Scotty on his drinking problem and Data
Scotty off of Star Trek is the patron saint of Engineers and Token Ethnic Comedy Actors. He is also an explorer, cunning warrior and inventor of Trans-Galactic Hyper Scotch an alcoholic drink so strong, it make the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster seem like water. Scotty of of Star Trek is also the brother of MacGyver, and was the first member of the MacGyver Clan to not be named MacGyver.
Early Career[edit]
During this stint in the military, Scotty off of Star Trek became known for fixing any problem with Ducttape, paperclips, and toilet paper. During off hours, he was also known for binge drinking Scottish whisky (When asked why only Scottish whisky, He replied "Because it's 'graet') and picking fights with the Irish.
In 1994 Scotty off of Star Trek was voted third sexiest male by the Illinois Women's Pornstar Volleyball Team. His immortal line "Ye cannae change the laws o' physics" was originally deemed too racy for the scientifically naive 1960s audience, and he was asked to replace it with the line "Ach, the cap'ns humpin' anither alien hoor". Instead, Scotty off of Star Trek positively bellowed "YE CANNAE CHANGE THE LAWS O' PHYSICS", and neither he nor his crew were ever invited back on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Scientific Breakthrough[edit]
Scotty off Star Trek's most brilliant move to date was officially recognised by the Scientific Guild of really cool stuff as "Being The First Man To Preserve Himself Inside A Transporter (Or Something) For Ages".
However, while he was applauded for his ingenuity at the time, shortly afterward the Guild released a long and rambling press statement in which it was explained that if any of them "thought about it REALLY hard" for anything more than "like, two minutes", it didn't make any sense. Asked to expand on this, the Guild explained that it was far too complicated and they couldn't remember, but there were definitely "loads of reasons".
After his transporter stunt, Scotty off Star Trek acquired an old Imperial Star Destroyer from his brother MacGyver, who designed Darth Vader's suit. Scotty off Star Trek turned this ship into the Claymore super gun, a weapon designed to turn planets into crack cocaine, using a Pocket knife, two bras, and Silent Bob's Coat.
Current Whereabouts[edit]
"José Mujica", my arse... that's Scotty off Star Trek if ever I saw him.
Scotty off Star Trek's whereabouts are unknown. It is theorized he is busy drinking, having sex with hot, loose women and picking fights with "Alien Pansies". There have been persistent rumors that Scotty off Star Trek is really some guy named James Doohan (March 3, 1920 — July 20, 2005), but nobody really believes this.
In late 2006 it was reported that Scotty may in fact be running for the position of First President of Scotland, First Lord Protector of The Americas and First High King of All Africa. His only competition is Kofi Annan who is running for High priest of the world.
In 2009, it was reported that Scotty off Star Trek had been voted president of Uruguay under the assumed name "José Mujica". But no one was fooled (apart from some journalists who bought some cock-and-bull story about him being a reformed left-wing guerrilla from the 1970s). It's Scotty from Star Trek. Look at him!

Yasin Nasser Wins the 2019 National Rally Championship (NRC)
SportsMotorcross
By kalema
The Moil Rally Team fans have enjoyed this season since their driver Yasin Nasser emerged the winner of the National Rally Championship (NRC) for 2019. Nasser emerged first in the MOSAC Kapeeka Rally that was hosted in the areas of western Uganda over the weekend.
Yasin Nasser together with his co-driver Ali Katumba came into the Kapeeka Rally with a primary target of finishing ahead of his rival Arthur Blick Jr. He got a perfect start to the title decider when he emerged on Day One in the third position. He finished 48 seconds ahead of Arthur Blick who finished in the fifth position. They later increased momentum and on Sunday they further edged their rival.
At the end of the rally Yassin emerged the winner. When contacted for a comment he said "We are very happy with this title. Special appreciation to my co-driver, mechanics, family and sponsors who have always supported us towards this victory,"
Yasin Nasser drives the Subaru GVB and posted total time of 1:28:43.35 seconds to secure the win. He finished 27 microseconds ahead of Omar Mayanja. Ronald Sebuguzi emerged third having posted 1:30:15.11 and Arthur Blick came out in the fourth position with 1:30:59.66.
Yasin Nasser joined Motorsport in 2017 and he has greatly upped his perfomance this year. The Kapeeka Rally also saw a new driver on the block Rajiv Rupaleria together with is co-driver Enoch Olinga trying out their luck in a Proto VW.
Rajiv registered 16 minutes and 12 seconds in the opening stage 1 minute and 13 seconds ahead of second placed Omar Mayanja.

Q: Time restriction on the usage of users in jupyterhub Jupyterhub is installed on a server that I am responsible for administering. I would like all users to be restricted to only using Jupyterhub (their notebooks) for 12 hours per day.
I would appreciate your assistance in this matter.
What is its configuration?


Allan Kerr Taylor, who wrote this recipe, was born in Negapatam in Madras, India, in 1832. His father, a lieutenant in the 39th Madras Native Infantry, later became a lieutenant general in the Indian army. Taylor emigrated to New Zealand in 1848 and settled in Auckland. His recipe reflects the Indian influences on cooking that British who had lived in India spread throughout the empire. Such recipes included mulligatawny (curry soup) and a wide range of curries, chutneys and sherbets. Taylor eventually owned a large house – Alberton – on a rural estate in Mt Albert, and the design of its verandahs may have been reflective of hismemories of India.


I don't know what it is about Black Desert. It's a game that should capture my attention and hold me fast… and when I'm in the mood for it, it does. But there's so many things about it that are just… glitchy.
Coming from a well-polished MMO experience like FFXIV (and before that, GW2), it's sometimes hard to overlook the lack of polish I see in BDO. The world is beautiful, but, for example, the NPC pop-in (appearing as black placeholders and then loading in) is hard not to notice. Just little weird things like that.
That doesn't keep me from playing the game, but it cheapens the experience for me. It's a shame because there's just so much this game does well.
I find myself picking it up and putting it back down a lot. It's probably because of the time-sink it requires to get the things I want to do done (horse training). But it keeps luring me back when I get a sandbox itch… like this past weekend.
Last time I logged in, it was over the holidays. I took notice of the Olvia servers, which give a nice solid XP boost to new and returning players. And then… well… the game got pushed aside for other things.
This past weekend, I sat down and really put my nose to the quest log to knock things out. Some of these quests have been there for a year now… and I still hadn't pushed past level 24.
It wouldn't be a BDO post without a picture of a horse.
It was really refreshing to finally finish some of those old quests. For example, there was a quest to give a bronze hoe to an NPC. This doesn't sound like it should be too hard, but believe it or not, bronze tools are complex to make. I don't remember what was getting in my way of completing it, but I couldn't make the ingot (or something) and I never found a hoe for sale on the auction house.
This time, I discovered there's a pre-order function on the auction house. So, I put in a pre-order for the hoe, which automatically purchased it for me the next time someone put it up for sale. In about half an hour, I was able to complete the quest that I hadn't been able to do in a year! I wonder how long that pre-order feature has been around and I just didn't know it.
I also sorted through the million letters I had in the mail from forever ago. Every time there was down time or a holiday or something, I was accumulating stuff in my mail and had no idea what any of it was.
Inventory slots and weight are both a major problem for me in this game, even after spending some loyalty points on inventory slots. So I had to do a lot of organization to be able to claim the rewards and figure out what everything in my mail was.
I did get a bunch of EX boosters, but also a few free lockboxes. I still don't really understand how gear works in BDO, so I ended up selling most the stuff I got from those boxes. I also got a free week-long dye pallet, which allowed me to dye gear to my pleasing.
But the biggest surprise was in the form of the Fame rewards.
So, this is a casual player who logged into the game to 9 million silver max in the bank. I thought I was doing good. Then I get this mail in my box talking about Family Fame… which dropped 63 million on me for just logging in.
Then I started Googling to find out where this money came from and why. Apparently, BDO added a Family Fame system that drops a bunch of money on you every day depending on your accumulated family points. If you don't log in to get it, it stacks up in your mail until you do.
I suddenly had more silver on me than I knew what to do with. So I quickly researched the best kind of armor to buy for Tamer, and bought the +15 version of it on the auction house. Yes, I know there's better than +15 now… but I was only level 24, so that was plenty for what I need at the time. Until I can do better research and understand it more.
I quickly discovered that with the new armor and upgraded weapons, I was tearing apart all the monsters in my level range while barely taking a hit. This encouraged me to quickly become a weapon of mass destruction.
No, I don't know what any of my skills really do in this game. I just hold the mouse buttons down and go to town. I have this one skill that I put on my hotbar that summons my pet and it does this massive AOE whirlwind that slaughters everything. So I've learned to gather up as many monsters as possible while it's recharging and take them all down in one swoop.
Needless to say, this propelled my questing progress, but more than that, my leveling progress. In a few hours, a lot of XP boosts, I found myself ten levels higher.
Yes! I have finally leveled beyond 30 in BDO!
I've also picked up the main quest again, and the Black Spirit is just as dubious as ever. He continues to absorb energies and transform… He's a lot less cute now than he was before.
He's also a bad influence.
…And I love it! Sometimes I don't know whether my character is something good or bad in this world, and that is also strangely appealing.
I like being the Warrior of Light… but it's neat to not know what line your character is walking for once. Are you the hero, or are you out just to take care of yourself? What is the Black Spirit's agenda?
He did tell me he considered me a friend… and for some reason, given the offhand conversation this happened in (part of quest text), I believe him. I guess I can understand why he thinks that my character should choose their own path rather than just blindly accepting NPC quests and doing what other people ask all the time.
Anyhow, I don't know how long my stay in BDO will be this time, but I'm having fun destroying things and leveling quickly. I still have no desire to stick my neck out and progress past level 49.999999 where I could be ganked by PKers, though. So I don't know how much that'll hamper my enjoyment of the game in the end.
I do really want to explore the ocean one day!

Interesting post, it's a situation I find myself in with BDO as well. I want to get into it but there's lots of little things that bug me. The mountain of silver for doing nothing is plain weird – it feels wrong to suddenly be so "rich" with no effort, but then it's not rich when people are boasting about their first billion in zone chat. The combat grind to level can be relaxing in a sense when I'm in the mood for something not too quest heavy. I should follow your example and check out gear upgrades as I'm sure my wizard's gear is awful by now, the upgrades handed out so rarely seem to be much better though. The eventual PVP barrier has always lurked on the horizon for me too, I really don't want to be involved in that, kind of hope Kakao would eventually cave and give us a PVE channel, but I guess that's all been debated and ignored for too long now.


Australians are canny shoppers with new research showing that 31% of us admit to deliberately checking out a product or trying on a garment in store only to look for it online for a lower price; otherwise known as 'showrooming'.
The research from shopping comparison website Finder.com.au also found that another 14% of Aussies had had the idea but were not game to try it!
"Just 10 or 15 years ago Aussies were much more limited with where they could shop from. Unless you wanted to negotiate or walk from store to store to compare costs, prices were pretty final, and the pool of retailers was more or less confined to our shores," says Kidman.
"Today you can be in a store, trying on a jacket and in the very same spot, you can Google it on your phone for a better price. Retailers understand some shoppers are wasting their time. In fact, Amazon is working on something it calls Physical Store Online Shopping Control – a mechanism which blocks shoppers from visiting online rivals within a store," he added.
There is nothing wrong with shopping around to get a fair price – money is too hard to come by. But it is unethical and downright rude if you don't compare apples with apples and if you don't at least offer the bricks and mortar shop the opportunity to match the price – or at least come close!
And there is a real risk that the online store offering a bargain that is too good to be true is simply a fake store out to steal your credit card and delivery details – a valuable commodity on the dark web.
Or that the goods are counterfeit – fake Nikes, watches and sunglasses are the tip of the iceberg as unscrupulous manufacturers reproduce almost everything that is popular and has a brand.
To counter this, there is an increasing demand by Australian retailers to have unique versions of popular products with things like specific colours, features and bundled accessories unique to their outlets.
Take a few pictures of the item including product information. Details of the product are especially important as there can be many variations and you want to make sure you're getting the same one. Try and avoid the store's barcode or style number and look for the brand's information.
Always consider shipping fees and the inconvenience of waiting for a courier. When comparing costs you need to consider all factors, and this includes shipping. What could appear cheaper might go out the window once you add international shipping fees.
Be cautious with electronics. If from overseas it may run on different voltages or need different wall plugs. So while you're scoring a discount, you might need to buy an adapter, or worse, a transformer, which could outweigh your savings.

The crystal structures of Ca2(Fe0.933Al0.067)2O5 and Ca2(Fe0.722 Ga0.278)2O5 have been determined from single crystals grown from a CaCl2 flux. Both are isostructural with Ca2Fe2O5 (C2F), belonging to space group Pnma. Lattice constants are a = 5.420(1) Å, b = 14.743(3) Å, c = 5.597(1) Å and a = 5.420(1) Å, b = 14.721(3) Å, c = 5.599(1) Å, respectively. The Al3+ ions in the doped C2F occupy the tetrahedral 4(c) site of Pnma exclusively. In the gallium doped sample, the Ga3+ ions preferentially reside on the tetrahedral positions with a significant amount of about 23% of the total gallium content in the octahedrally coordinated 4(a) site.

On or Off Road, Subaru Outback Is Deemed Fit for Families
03/07/2012 (press release: CambridgePRGroup) // Raynham, MA, USA // Mastria Subaru
From safety and fuel efficiency to cargo room and passenger space, families have a lot to think about when making their next vehicle purchase. In its quest to help families narrow down their list of vehicles to consider, Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com recently released its list of the 10 Best Family Cars for 2012. Coming in at number four on that list is the 2012 Subaru Outback available at Subaru dealerships across the country.
As an automotive researching and reporting website, kbb.com regularly informs car shoppers about which vehicles perform well in different categories. For its annual list of the 10 Best Family Cars, the site's editors recognize new cars from a variety of classes that suit the varying needs and tastes of families. This year's list included models that stand out in areas like safety, comfort, child-friendliness, overall cost of ownership and, in the case of the Subaru Outback, off-road capability.
"The Subaru Outback is the perfect car for families who want cargo and passenger room, but don't need that extra third row," said Chris Dunn, general sales manager of Raynham, Massachusetts Subaru dealership Mastria Subaru. "By adding in a superior all-wheel-drive system that's ideal for New England winters, Subaru ensures that the Outback can handle just about anything families can throw at it."
To claim its spot on the 10 Best Family Cars list this year, the Subaru Outback impressed judges with standard equipment that enhances its capability for both on- and off-road adventures. Kbb.com noted that every Outback is equipped with all-wheel drive, an integrated roof rack and 8.7 inches of ground clearance to help it tackle off-road camping trips. The automotive site also highlighted the Outback's cost-saving fuel efficiency, which reaches up to 29 mpg on the highway, its ample cargo space and seating for five adults.
The standard 2012 Subaru Outback is powered by a 2.5-liter Subaru Boxer engine, which delivers 170 horsepower to all four tires thanks to the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. Because the system has the engine mounted in line with the rest of the drivetrain, drivers can maintain better stability and control with less risk of oversteer or understeer compared to typical rear-wheel-drive or front-wheel-drive vehicles.
Talk show host Ellen Degeneres recently gave away a Subaru Outback to one woman in need of its family-friendly features. The recipient of the Outback, Amber White of Danville, Indiana, wrote to Ellen because her unreliable vehicle made her both worried for her baby's safety and fearful of being stranded should the car fail her. When Degeneres revealed the new Outback to White, she also touted the wagon's fuel efficiency, all-wheel-drive system and safety components, adding that it is an ideal vehicle for a family.
"There's no better all-purpose family vehicle than the Outback," added Dunn. "The wagon is efficient enough to be a daily driver but competent enough to bring the family off road. There's no more need for two vehicles serving different functions, because the Outback does it all."

Brian Thomas Grazer (born July 12, 1951) is an Academy Award-winning American film and television producer who founded Imagine Entertainment in 1986 with partner Ron Howard. Together they have produced many acclaimed films, including A Beautiful Mind and Apollo 13.
Grazer also produced the 2002 film 8 Mile, the live-action version of the holiday classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (2000), Spike Lee's 2006 crime-thriller Inside Man, and Ridley Scott's American Gangster (2007), which was nominated for two Academy Awards. His producing credits also include the films Changeling and Frost/Nixon. He is the executive producer of 24, Lie to Me, Arrested Development and Friday Night Lights.
Grazer appeared as himself on The Simpsons twice; in "When You Dish Upon a Star", he received movie ideas from Ron Howard, and in "Lost Verizon" where he offered Denis Leary a job for Everyone Poops.
In March 2007, Grazer was slated to guest edit a special Sunday section of the Los Angeles Times before the newspaper's publisher canceled its press run in wake of a scandal that ultimately led to the resignation of editorial page editor Andrés Martinez . In May 2007, Grazer was listed among Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in The World.
On "The Dream Team", the July 15, 2007 episode of Entourage, Grazer made a brief cameo appearance as himself.

He was married to Theresa McKay from 1972-9. From 1982-1992 he was married to Corki Corman Grazer. They have son Riley (1986) and daughter Sage (1988) together. He married his third wife Gigi Levangie in September 1997. They have sons Thomas (1999) and Patrick (2004). He filed for legal separation in April 2006 but they reconciled. Two years later he filed for divorce in June 2008.
He is now dating pianist Chau-Giang Thi Nguyen.

Lullabies for the Lost (Old Red Lion Theatre)
Lullabies for the Lost (Old Red Lion Theatre, London, until February 1st)
Airing dirty laundry in public is rarely a helpful exercise. But in Rosalind Blessed's new play Lullabies for the Lost the sharing of secrets and anxieties becomes a step on the path to healing.
The piece is being staged in rep at the Old Red Lion Theatre, Islington (alongside her play The Delights of Dogs and the Problems of People), with chances to see each piece separately or across an afternoon and evening.
The two plays certainly complement each other and Blessed has suggested that they exist in parallel realities. If nothing else they both feature canine heroes, rescue dogs which play their part in helping troubled people to move on, offering unconditional love. This is all the more important when human companions, friends or advisers fail to understand fully precisely what it is that troubles or leads us to a point of despair.
Hard-hitting and clearly drawn from personal experience, this longer and newer play is more obviously about mental health, inhabited as it is by eight very different people relating struggles ranging from eating disorders to childlessness through depression and anxiety.
On an effectiv e clinical white set (Anna Kezia Williams) on which white boxes are scattered and used for furniture eight characters are in search of an escape from their various issues. The setting is a bleak representation of their own emptiness and a fear of allowing themselves to open up to colour and purpose. There is a sense that sharing with others is an important part of the process but it is initially unclear who they are – a gathering of supportive friends? A therapy group? A heavenly waiting room? Or is this a purgatorial crucible of their own making?
As each tells their story they gaze at a locked door hoping that this time it will open and allow them to exit rather than cons tantly having to relive their narrative. At times there is a distinct Twilight Zone vibe, with the exact setting a mysterious and surreal uncertainty. The play presents a group of people who wait on the edge of hope, eager to fit a series of social "norms" and attempting to conform to a society which they don't necessarily recognise as being cracked.
For one, apparently newer, member of the group, Larry (a performance of studied apprehension from Chris Porter) there is a fear of going out, a nervousness about how he will be received when he reaches an appointment, a secret demon urging him not to bother.
Another, Nerys, (Kate Tydman) has turned to collecting – not hoarding, she assures us – envious of a rat in her house who can have hundreds of babies while she constantly suffers miscarriages.
Then there's Sarah (Helen Bang, exuding a confidence plagued by low self worth) a sensitive and lonely soul who has given up on love, wrapping herself in cotton wool of banality, and "Brothers Grimm" Tim (Liam Mulvery) and Jez (Nick Murphey), both having contemplated suicide but each unaware of the other's state of mind.
As emotions are laid bare we understand the importance of communication (in the real world rather than via social media), the need to share and concentrate on the light rather than the darkness. Shades of light (Mark Dymock) contrast the brightness of the characters relating to and opening up to each other and the relative dimness of inner conflict.
Rosalind Blessed plays Robin, a bulimic suffering from low self image, desperately seeking to be sexually attractive and additionally depressed after her dog died, while Ash (Duncan Wilkins) is a cynical and sarcastic anorexic confined to an eating disorder unit.
It is only when we hear from Andy (a powerful and ardent Chris Pybus) that we sense anyone sees light at the end of the tunnel. Although feeling that he is stuck in mud, a rescue dog helps him to look beyond himself and his self-judging depression.
Blessed's writing ensures that each of these people matter and the audience (occasionally addressed directly) are on their side, not only wanting them to face up to their anxieties and inner conflicts but to conquer them. Zoë Ford Burnett's direction carefully complements the words, allowing the brushstrokes of a troubled group to be revealed as unique individuals with a definite worth and value.
While often uncomfortably intense there are welcome bursts of humour and a relief that these likeable individuals encourage one another to be positive and hopeful. There is an important call for anyone undergoing similar pressures to dare to look outwards and beyond where they are at any given moment.
As "Ma" appears (a warm cameo from Blessed's mother, Hildegard Neil) as an affirming voice from beyond confinement, there is a crucial message about sharing issues, not wasting life, the value of looking for purpose through beauty, love, nature, laughter, art and sport instead of meaningless self-obsession.
Lullabies for the Lost is a wise and important contribution to understanding mental health issues, not least underlining the valuable and vital role of sharing and realising you need never suffer alone. There is no "cure all" solution, but at least there can be glimmers of light, however hard they may be to discern.
