When a divorce includes children, the situation can be especially distressing for the father. As a divorced dad, you may not get to see your kids as often, and your ex-wife may not consult you on every issue that arises. One fear you may have is that she will decide to legally change your kids' surname to her own.
The first step in addressing this concern is to understand the process a custodial parent must go through to modify a minor's last name. If you disagree with the change, you may be able to prevent it.

When the subject of divorce crosses someone's mind, they may think about how this major life change could affect their kids or their finances. However, the emotional toll of a divorce should not be ignored either, as it can create serious issues for men and women alike. Aside from depression, anger and stress, some people suffer an identity crisis after their marriage ends. For example, someone may have pictured themselves as a spouse for many years, and when they become single after a divorce they may feel as if they do not know who they are.
Sometimes, divorce can make people feel as if they failed as a marital partner. However, these feelings should not get in the way of successfully moving through the divorce process and adjusting to life after the marriage is over. It is important for people to keep in mind that they are not defined by a failed marriage and focus on the future. Whether someone finds a healthier, happier relationship or finds contentment in living without a partner, life can be much better for those who move on from a bad marriage.
If you have a gaming addiction and your spouse wants to end the marriage, you may be able to work things out by addressing your addiction. On the other hand, if you are married to someone who struggles with this addiction, you may have given up after years of trying to change their behavior. If a divorce is unavoidable, it is vital to prepare in all ways possible. Whether you have kids or a lot of uncertainty over how marital property will be split up, there are a myriad of issues that may need to be examined carefully.

Once a Peoria couple decides to call it quits on their marriage, they have to choose what to do with their home. According to Nerdwallet, the first step is to assess the value of the home. Once that is accomplished, the equity of each spouse can be determined, which is the amount that each spouse owes on the home. From there, the spouses must make a choice regarding the future of their home.
One option is to sell the house. After the mortgage debt has been paid, taxes have been dealt with and all expenses related to the sale are settled, the remainder from the sale can be split between the spouses. Selling off the house offers each spouse a way to make a fresh start from each other. This might be the more preferable option if the relationship between the spouses has hit rock bottom and amicability is not possible.

Societal beliefs about marriage and divorce have changed a lot over the years, leading to fewer marital unions and more endings than in past generations. Even the average age of people who tie the knot has gotten higher.
Furthermore, seniors go through divorce more than before. Causes include more financial security and economic opportunities, less stigma and longer lifespans. Whatever the reason, if you are a senior man considering divorce, you need to be aware of the unique factors that affect the process.
If you are preparing for a custody dispute, it is, of course, imperative to make sure that you avoid anything which could be interpreted as child abduction. Abducting a child can have a significant impact on the outcome of a custody dispute, and even if you take the child for a relatively brief period of time it could cause you to lose a custody case.
Can you keep all of your 401k?
On behalf of Butler Giraudo & Meister posted in High-Asset Divorce on Tuesday, March 12, 2019.
When you choose to get a divorce in Peoria, you may be prepared to have to split the value of a number of your assets with your spouse. One of the assets you may not be prepared to share, however, is your 401k. The funds in your 401k are the result of your employment; why, then, would they be considered a marital asset? First off, you should understand that the entire amount of your 401k may not be subject to property division; only the amount contributed to it during your marriage is. Since these contributions are made from your income, they are considered marital property.
In a divorce, the court will typically issue a Qualified Domestic Relations Order that authorizes your 401k administrator to make disbursements to an alternate payee (which would be your ex-spouse). They then can do whatever they please with their portion. Yet what if you are set on keeping the entire amount of your 401k?
When someone is charged with domestic violence, they may become overly depressed and very upset with their former partner, which can lead to additional problems. Their performance at work may suffer and they may even have difficulty landing a job due to their shattered reputation. Aside from emotional difficulties and career problems, some may also struggle with adverse outcomes in court as a direct result of domestic violence accusations. For example, a father who has been accused of abusing someone in the family may not be able to secure custody or visitation.
If you are struggling with how to deal with being away from your child, Fathers.com outlines some ways you can put on a good front and show up for your kid. One is to remain positive and honest, even when you are feeling anything but, because this will help the confidence of your child. You should also always keep your promise, whether it is a certain time you will call or showing up for visitation on time. No matter how hard it may be, honor your ex-spouse and never say a bad thing or fight in front of your child.
As FindLaw explains, spouses have a right to leave their children anything from their separate property and also their share of marital property. However, if you do not spell out what you want your child to receive in your will, a judge may end up deciding what your child receives. You also have to consider what could happen if you remarry or are remarried now, as your new spouse will very likely receive a share of your assets before your children are given anything. Specifying what your child should get from you in your will lessens the risk that your new spouse receives it instead.


I have been thinking about doing this since the interview with SwapDex. It was really how i started in the big, bad world of swapping. I know, of all the things- fabric postcards.
But they are quick, fun and full of suprise that isn't expensive to mail or hard to find a place to put the new treasure.
I've got a few instructions and then lots of example pictures. So get your hand on that mouse and start scrolling.
* Peltex or Timtex. Whatever— something that is stiff, sort of thickish and fusible on at least one side. Both is prefered. I found mine at joann stores.
* Permanent pen for writing your little note.
* Use a new needle. It will dull quick after these guys so get rid of it when finished. Lots of paper, fusible and thickness just kills it off.
* nothing thicker than 1/4 inch on those cards. The postmaster will yell at you.
* If you are worried about the machines 'eating' your postcard use a clear envelope. Everyone can still see the wonderful card you made, and it keeps everything on it safe and sound.
* Cut your peltex 4 inch X 6 inch. Cut the back the same size.
* Cut your front fabric just larger than this measurement. You can trim it later. If it slips while ironing you won't cry too.
* Start playing around with placement and embellishments.
* Use fabric, paint, crayons or whatever else. You are just designing the FRONT of the postcard only. Play around with different mediums.
* When you have the look Use fusible webbing when ready to assemble those pieces and keep them in the right place.
* You will want to iron all these down if using the fusible web. DON'T ADD ANY BUMPY STUFF! You will do this AFTER you get all these pieces down.
* Add all the bumpy stuff now: buttons, charms, netting with beads, fluffy thread, embroidery, quilting. All the thread will be on the wrong side and won't show once you get the back on.
* fuse the front and peltex to the back side.
* Trim around all edges so everything is nice and flush.
* Using a zigzag, decorative, or a simple straight stitch -sew along the outside edge. Keeps the parts together and makes the edge nice and neat.
* Stamp the back with a postcard marking, or simply draw a line.
* Write your wonderful, short and sweat message and don't forget those addresses.
Shakers- Use toule (sp) or thin netting. Before stitching the last seam stick confetti or seed beads inside. Then seal. You can also place pressed flowers, ribbon, thread, string, anything loose inside and the netting keeps them there.
Pieced blocks. Great way to use up scraps, or leftover lost blocks.
Painted- watercolor pencils, acrylic, or melted crayons. Use permanent markers for outlining if needed.
Pictures. Print on fabric paper- or not. Stitch down the edges to keep them in place. You can also use old greeting cards or vintage pictures the same way.
Fancy ribbon or fuzzy thread.
Bead work- stitch, glue or rhinestone away. You can also use 'cheater' beaded fabric.
Glitter. Use glitter glue, sprinkle dust or glitter markers. Just give a little touch or go all out crazy like.
Misc. stuff. Plastic spiders, Pockets for the kangaroo and hawaiian shirt, silk flowers or leaves, doilies.
Sandpaper (fun), scrapbooking do dads, fancy buttons, plastic canvas. tinsel pipecleaners, tinsy bells.
Embroidery. Stitch it yourself or use machine or even iron on patches. Fussy cut fabric prints, or make your own designs.
Would you like to make your own messenger bag? Check out the shop for the pattern.
AND a Conversation pdf. What is that you ask? Well, It is Vintage style postcards that have been sized for American Girl Dolls. They need to send things to each other don't they? Sure they do.
The pdf will include 6 postcard sized 'themed' pictures. A few stamps, scratch paper template, an envelope template, and to carry all the goods……a messenger bag that she can wear!
If you make a postcard or have done some in the past…leave a comment with a link. we would love to see some more chatting goodies.
you make the postcards seem easy but watch me take 5 trys before I get one good enough to send. In any case, I am in for the postcard swap.
sure. you'll do just fine. that goes for the rest of everyone else too.
hello! my gal at urban craft pointed me your way- i'd love to join the postcard swap fun, too!
How fun–you did a good job on your tutorial! I saw one of mine that I swapped in another group. How fun for me, Oh, I want your lighthouse cards. I love lighthouses.–Did you know that?
And just so you know–past experience speaking, if you use the clear envelopes they will charge you extra postage if you live in Bountiful Utah and some other cities–makes me cranky!!
all very fun and amazing stuff – and even if i don't participate i simply love it!
I went to a workshop 6 days ago and my mind keeps drifting back to fabric postcards. My head is spinning with thoughts of using my fabric, trims, quilt stuff, ribbons etc. to do these cards! I want to retire from work so I can stay home and play all day every day. By I must drag myself to the Middle School and spend my day with the 13 years olds for 2 more years. Your ideas are fabulous! Maybe I will get into the trading too someday.
These postcards are really cute. I worried about them getting schmutzy in the mail though until I saw the plastic envelopes. I can see these being used as Christmas Tree ornaments too. Very clever.
Just love the idea of stitched postcards and would like to follow this.
Just stumbgled across this site, Is it still active and are you taking new sign-ups?
no– this one is closed. but maybe sometime in the future i will do another one.
Your article is full of fun and inspiration! I really enjoyed reading it. I too, love to sew and swap fabric postcards, but I start out a bit larger 4.5 x 6.5, then after all the fusing and embellishments I use a rotary cutter to trim them to 4×6 size. I feel that I get neater edges this way.
I am new to blogging, but maybe you will enjoy my blog dedicated to sewing fabric postcards!
Thanks Sheree! That's a great idea to start a bit bigger and then trim down.
These are so great! I've never made one. I guess I'm intimidated by them, worried I'll make a mess!
I love making quilted postcards. I don't use clear envelopes. I consider any extra ink from the post office an added benefit—–postal art. I like having the actual post mark on my card. I send my postcards to different post offices to get their post marks. Bridal Vale, OR for Valentines Day, etc.
Is your "Conversation PDF" still available? I just came across your post today and would like to make some post cards.

Trump's extreme makeover of the Supreme Court is now complete
On Monday night, President Trump, in his now customary practice of turning somber national choices into cheap show business stunts, announced Brett Kavanaugh as his choice to fill the Supreme Court seat of retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy.
Kavanaugh, currently serving on the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, is a white man from Yale University. His selection wasn't much of a surprise. Court watchers spent the weekend avidly reading the tobacco leaves about which way Trump was leaning. His team reportedly sent out different smoke signals to different conservative groups, to maximize the ratings for Supreme Court Madness. But this choice was never about what kind of meat to have for dinner. It was about what precise cut of dead, originalist cow flesh to put on the grill. President Trump cribbed his shortlist from his arch-conservative paymasters at the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society, and it was populated exclusively by hardcore, right-wing fanatics. With Kavanaugh's appointment, the Supreme Court is poised to entrench conservative power in this country for another long generation.
Those hoping Trump would bumble into nominating some might-be-liberal were obviously disappointed, but no one should be surprised. The conservative movement has been planning for this moment for decades, and there was no way they were going to get it wrong, especially when the president is an empty vessel who will do more or less whatever his backers tell him. That Kavanaugh cut his teeth on the Kenneth Starr investigation of Trump's bete noir, former President Bill Clinton, could only have boosted his fortunes. And should questions of whether a sitting president can be prosecuted for crimes ever end up before the Supreme Court, Kavanaugh conveniently holds particularly expansive, Trump-friendly views on executive power.
Conservatives should be elated, because the appointment of a fifth originalist to the court imperils all manner of precedent, from abortion rights in Roe v. Wade to marriage equality in Obergefell v. Hodges. Kavanaugh will likely recite the same script about precedent that his predecessors have, but no one should be fooled: With this pick, it is likely that abortion will be illegal in many parts of the United States by next fall. It is always possible, of course, that Kavanaugh will arrive at the precipice of overturning Roe and decide that doing so would not be in the long-run political interest of the people who appointed him. But from this moment forward, it is assured that a challenge to Roe will be heard by this court, and that it will be one of the dominant issues of the 2020 campaign.
Beyond abortion, Kavanaugh will be a reliable conservative vote on everything from law-and-order issues to the Second Amendment. The chance that this Supreme Court will release America from its torment on gun control, mass incarceration, or campaign finance, for example, have been effectively reduced to zero. Instead, it now stands ready to deliberately rupture a series of national consensuses.
This dark day was fully predictable two years ago. A conservative seat was literally being held open during the 2016 election by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his allies. In their final debate in Las Vegas, both Hillary Clinton and Trump made it clear for voters what kind of person they would put into Antonin Scalia's seat, and presumably into any other openings as well. Clinton stated that she wanted a court that will "stand on the side of the American people," and "stand up on behalf of women's rights, on behalf of the rights of the LGBT community, that will stand up and say no to Citizens United." Trump, after beginning his response with a bizarre, word-ceviche attack on Ruth Bader Ginsburg, stated that "the justices that I'm going to appoint will be pro-life … They will interpret the Constitution the way the founders wanted it interpreted."
This president doesn't care about unity or balance on the courts, nor do his backers. They would all be happy to see a conservative Supreme Court exercise ruthless dominion over an increasingly progressive country for the next 30 years. But that Las Vegas exchange also points to a problem with the way Democrats generally talk and think about courts.
A court that stands "on the side of the American people" is not a judicial philosophy. One that hews closely to "the way the founders wanted" the Constitution interpreted, on the other hand, is. That asymmetry of vision has allowed conservatives to successfully convince voters that jurisprudence consists almost entirely of applying the clear meaning of the Constitution, or perhaps, where there is ambiguity, digging into what the words of the text meant to people living at the time. As the University of Chicago's David A. Strauss noted in The Living Constitution, "That means that judges have to be historians." Law is focused on the past, with judges acting as amateur Toynbees, rather than on the needs of the present. This is how you get a 5-4 majority deciding, in Citizens United v. FEC, that corporations possess an unfettered right to expend truly bonkers amounts of cash on American elections, as if such a thing were remotely in the long term interest of American society.
For conservatives, this is an even bigger victory than the last Supreme Court opening. The appointment of the statuesque zealot Neil Gorsuch merely restored the status quo ante on the court. Kavanaugh, however, ushers in a terrifying new world. For the first time since the mid-1930s, the Supreme Court will be in the grip of a committed ideological conservative majority. Because even though conservatives have held a series of nominal 5-4 majorities since the 1970s, that edge was tempered by the presence of Republican appointees who occasionally voted with the liberals, like Sandra Day O'Connor and then Kennedy, as well as accidental liberals like Ford appointee John Paul Stevens.
Those days are now conclusively over. As in so many other ways, the dire long-term consequences of President Trump's election are only just being felt. Unless the left succeeds in its long-odds battle to flip two Republican votes on this nomination, the stage is now set for Kavanaugh, and for the restoration of a hardscrabble, pre-New Deal United States, where the rights of corporations reign supreme, the federal government's ability to spend money on the general welfare is radically reduced, and the rights of women, people of color, and workers are shunted aside. Unless Democrats are able to win the next two elections and get radical about the courts, this grim scenario will be our only possible future.

"Authors in general don't have a lot of money, and lawsuits are expensive."
– James D. MacDonald
"Help Defend P&E – Unfortunately, there are those who do not like P&E or its editor because we give out information that they would prefer remain hidden from writers. Usually, they slink away, but not this time. P&E is being sued and we are asking for donations to mount a legal defense in court. Please click on the link below and give if you can to help protect P&E so it can continue to defend writers as it has for over a decade."
– David L. Kuzminski. Preditors & Editors
The quote above is the headline to the Preditors & Editors website. Seriously, how pathetic can David L. Kuzminski be? Asking authors to bail his tuches (ass) out with donations to fund his legal defense? We don't need to tell you that authors are generally not the highest paid individuals. For David L. Kuzminski to ask for financial assistance from them is despicable. As you may know, a self-published author must sell approximately 5000 books before he/she breaks even. Considering David L. Kuzminski's own Amazon Sales Rankings, it's no wonder that he would solicit handouts for a legal problem that he alone created.
David L. Kuzminski, if you're going to "give out information" at least back it up with primary source material. It's not that some people "do not like P&E," it is, however, the total lack of disregard of proving claims with demonstrative evidence that people don't agree with. Unfortunately, in your case, it appears to have caught up with you. It's your problem and it's time for you, and only you, to face it. Again, to request struggling authors to financially support your legal defense is despicable. It reeks of the very same accusations you've made against various publishing companies. literary agents and individuals. It's time to put your big boy pants on and face your own reality. If your experience contributes anything to the publishing world, perhaps it will be what not to do and solidify the need for using primary source material. If the low donations to the "Atlanta Nights" film project (and the dreadful Amazon Sales Rankings of the companion book) are any indication of author support, we would assume that few are supporting your plea. Please, stop begging from authors and remove this pathetic request for donations. Remember what "Uncle Jim" says, "money flows to the author." However, it should not flow to the legal defense fund of another author.
Normally, only registered non-profit ((501 (c) (3)) organizations can solicit donations from the public. To do so otherwise can give rise to investigative curiosity from the Internal Revenue Service, state agencies and the Attorney General's office of any given state. We have not found any Articles of Incorporation, DBA's, Assumed Names or IRS documentation which categorizes Preditors & Editors or David L. Kuzminski as a "public charity." In addition, the Preditors & Editors website is registered under David L. Kuzminski and is not affiliated with any corporation, DBA or other business entity.

"I understand all the reasons for having "private" SFWA forums, but having been a member on and off (currently on) for well over a decade, I've gradually come to the conclusion that the downside of it far outweighs the positives. SFWA has become a cult, dedicated first and foremost to the preservation of the cult. It has increasingly little to do with creativity, commerce, or the actual business of science fiction."

"You can say 'fuck' on my FB page. I say it all the time in real life."
– Victoria Strauss (Facebook Page, September 19, 2011)
It's one thing if a publishing "weiner dog" swears in private. But there is a certain minimum dignity…decorum…class that we expect from our "weiner dogs" when they speak in public. Especially . . . on Facebook. Of course, this isn't the first time Victoria Stauss has demonstrated her lack of class (Click here).
Just imagine if Victoria Strauss approached the business of Writer Beware and her PR as an author during moments when her words actually moved the hearts and minds of people who cared:
"American Book Publishing has been the focus of at least one f****** police investigation."
"I'm the author of eight f****** published fantasy novels for adults and f****** young adults, including the f***** Stone duology (The Arm of the Stone and The Garden of the Stone), the Way of Arata duology (The Burning Land and The Awakened City), and a forthcoming f****** historical fantasy for f****** teens, Passion Blue."
"I'm an active f****** member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), and co-founder of f****** Writer Beware, a f****** publishing industry watchdog group that tracks and warns about literary schemes, scams, and pitfalls. I f****** maintain the popular Writer Beware website, Facebook page, and blog. For this work, I f****** was honored with the SFWA Service Award in 2009."
"I've f****** written hundreds of f****** book reviews for magazines and ezines, including SF Site, and my articles on writing have appeared in f****** Writer's Digest and elsewhere. In f****** 2006, I served as a f****** judge for the f******World Fantasy Awards."
It's sort of amusing to watch, in the sense that it's not every day that you see a crowd of "flying monkeys" cheer on a gal who has real credibility issues, horrid Amazon Sales Rankings while simultaneously cursing like a sailor. Parents, book buyers, and librarians do take note. This is the author of the f****** fantasy for teens, Passion Blue . . . we can't wait for the f****** book signing events.
Yes, she does say f*** in "real life." Just ask her neighbors that had to endure a dispute with Victoria Strauss regarding "walnuts" and her "fence." Victoria Strauss readily admitted that she was "forgetting to be ladylike in [her] extreme annoyance." Nevertheless, she deliberately f-bombed her neighbor accordingly: "What's the big fucking deal here? All I'm asking is that you not pile your shit against my fence. Why is that so much to ask?"

We have finalized our itinerary and coordinated your team projects. The link below will provide you with your hotel, transportation and ticket information. Team Leaders, we will be meeting the evening before as indicated in your packages.


Innovator of the loom that bears his name, Joseph Marie Jacquard (1752-1834) developed the first loom to weave designs into cloth. It was also recognized as the first machine to employ the punch-card technology, that would eventually program the computer of the mid-twentieth century.
In the 1700s, the European textile industry and specifically weaving, had not changed for hundreds of years. Using a loom, a weaver created woven fabrics by interlacing two sets of threads—taut lengthwise or "warp" threads that were crosswise, and "weft" or "filling" threads, at right angles. To create wide finished textiles, such as those used for window coverings, narrow lengths of fabric had to be woven by hand. Warp threads were then tautly stretched across the loom's frame, and raised and lowered by the loom's harness, to allow the weft threads to be woven between them. These intricately textured patterns, as well as multi-colored designs were time-consuming. Even so, with its generations of skilled weavers, by the mid-1800s, France was known around the world for the quality of its woven silks.
As ever-larger mechanized looms replaced skilled hand weavers in the 1790s, an explosion of woven goods appeared in European and American trade markets. These goods were inexpensive due to being mass-produced. However, these new, mechanized looms could not compete with the skilled manual labor required to create fabrics containing anything other than a plain or simple, woven pattern, such as a check or stripe.
It would be the invention of a Frenchman named Joseph Marie Jacquard that would spread mass production to these more complicated, and costly, textile designs, allowing even intricate patterns to be automatic ally woven into the cloth at much the same rate as a plain length of fabric could be generated.
Born July 7, 1752, in the southern French city of Lyon, Jacquard spent much of his life in the silk textile industry. Like his parents had before him, young Joseph went to work at a silk mill in Lyon. Along with many young boys of his generation and economic status, he grew up working 10-hour days within the factory. His first task as a young worker was to serve as a draw-boy.
Sitting on a perch above the heavy, massive loom and working quickly in advance of each passage of the flying shuttle carrying the weft thread, he would lift and re-position warp threads of various colors in different spots to create the pattern desired by the Master weaver who operated the loom. This tedious and sometimes dangerous task was given to children because their smaller fingers were more capable of setting the fine silk, wool, or cotton threads used.
The Industrial Revolution heralded what would be a long, gradual shift from a farming economy, to an industrial, trade-based economy. As fewer peasants made their living off the land, they migrated to the cities, where factories sought workers in response to foreign demands for their trade goods. Throughout France, the textile industry flourished.
Unfortunately, this new economic growth and the growth of a new entrepreneurial class came at some expense. The citizens of Lyon, as well as other industrial cities, were overworked, yet still poor and lacking food. The "curse" of the Industrial Revolution was that the upper middle-class factory owners profited from the rise in foreign trade, while the lower classes suffered crowded living conditions and little pay.
By the time Jacquard had entered adulthood, France was entering one of the most tumultuous periods of its history: the French Revolution. And in Lyons, one of the country's most densely inhabited cities, this unrest— particularly that caused by the shift in political power from the wealthy nobility into the hands of the masses—was felt by all. Changes in the status quo were happening on all levels, including political, social, economic, and technological areas.
As early as 1775, French Controller-General Anne-Robert Turgot had encouraged free trade by inhibiting the restrictive guild system and subsidizing innovations in those industries he believed would one day make France an economic rival with her nemesis, Great Britain. Following the execution of Turgot's employer, King Louis XVI, and the rise of a revolutionary government, innovations among the French citizenry continued to be encouraged and the inventive spirit was rewarded with government grants. This trend would continue following the Revolution, as Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte himself encouraged technological advances in his every-growing republic.
This encouragement by the government drew the interest of young men such as Jacquard, who had grown up and advanced to the position of mill mechanic in Lyon. Reflecting on his childhood job, Jacquard set about to find an alternative to the position of draw-boy in the silk industry.
A concept developed by fellow Frenchman Jacques de Vaucanson in 1745, that utilized a perforated roll of paper to control the weaving process, served as Jacquard's starting point. Given one of Vaucanson's looms to restore, Jacquard set to work on correcting Vaucanson's unworkable design. Absorbed by his project for several years, Jacquard created an operative prototype of his loom by 1790.
By 1793, the Revolution was in full swing, forcing Jacquard to abandon his project; instead he joined the republican lower classes in mounting their historic attack on the French nobility. After fighting alongside his fellow citizens in defense of the new French republic, Jacquard resumed his work in 1801, shortly after Napoleon's rise to power. His improved draw-loom, displayed that same year at an industrial exhibition in the Louvre in Paris, earned Jacquard a bronze medal.
Three years later, in the fall of 1803, the inventor was again summoned to Paris, this time to demonstrate a second version of his original loom design. This version had attached to the top of its frame the "Jacquard mechanism" or "Jacquard attachment," which was a device connecting the wooden loom to an interchangeable continuous roll of connected punch cards. This remarkably innovative method of "programming" a machine allowed the Jacquard loom to produce tapestries, brocades, damasks, and other intricately woven silk fabrics far more quickly than had the manual technology of the past.
The innovation underlying Jacquard's loom was the use of encoded punch cards to control the action of the weaving process, allowing any desired pattern to be reproduced automatically. The required design is encoded onto a series of connected pasteboard cards as a group of punched holes, each card containing a single line of holes representing a single row of weave. Each series of rectangular cards, when connected, creates a grid of rows and columns.
Jacquard's mechanism allowed each warp thread to operate independently, much like a player piano, where each note is sounded by a hole on a music roll as it passes over a certain opening. In the Jacquard mechanism, a specific combination of holes punched in a row through an individual card allowed selected sprung rods or needles to pass through the card and pick up certain threads. The connected cards create a continuous loop allowing for repeated patterns; when all the cards have been used, the sequence begins again.
Combining any number of connected cards in a loop, Jacquard's loom was able to weave patterns of great complexity, and these became popular for tablecloths and bed coverings. In addition to textile designs featuring smallscale, repeated patterns, Jacquard became known for intricate representational coverlets featuring a single large design, woven in a variety of colors.
One remarkable example of his craft that still exists is a black-and-white silk portrait of Jacquard himself, which was woven using a strip of ten thousand cards. Also important is the course his technology would take. Jacquard's open hole/closed hole system was the first use of the binary system that would be translated into a basic computer over a century later. In addition, computer operators would refer to his concept of sequencing individual cards in a specific order to create a specific pattern, as sequencing commands to create a "program."
Jacquard's invention was immediately recognized as something that would revolutionize the French textile industry. Ironically, the impoverished factory mechanic, who had also risked his life in defense of his country, would earn no money directly from his invention. Instead, in an agreement with the city of Lyon, the patent for his Jacquard mechanism reverted to the city, which declared his invention public property in 1806. Fortunately, Jacquard was awarded a state pension by Emperor Napoleon that allowed him to profit from his innovation; in addition he received royalties on each loom sold and put into operation.
Perhaps more significant that its revolution of the textile industry, Jacquard's innovative use of the punched card mechanism greatly influenced other inventors. English inventor Charles Babbage used Jacquard's technology in his development of the analytical engine, a simple form of a calculator. American statistician Herman Hollerith adopted punchcards as a means of entering data into his census collator. His collator, developed in 1890, was used through the 1960s to tabulate results of the United States census.
Like many labor-saving developments that occurred during the Industrial Revolution, Jacquard's technology was not immediately embraced by silk weavers and others in weaving trades. They saw it as a threat to their jobs and protested its use. As early as 1801, riots broke out in Lyon over changes to the traditional loom. In 1804, after Jacquard's revised loom was introduced, the violence escalated. In addition to trying to destroy any Jacquard looms that were in use in Lyon, attempts were made on Jacquard's life.
However, the advantages of his looms eventually won out over the opposition. In 1800, only 3,500 working looms were in use in Lyon's silk industry. Within a decade, the number of working looms in the city reached 11,000. One textile mill owner even had thousands of workers on his payroll.
By 1810, France had become competitive with its longstanding rival, Great Britain, in the textile industry. In 1819, Jacquard was awarded the Legion of Honor Cross, as well as a gold medal, for his role in his nation's economic success. During the 1820s, his name became known worldwide as use of the Jacquard loom spread to England.
Jacquard died in Oullins, France on August 7, 1834. Over 160 years later, the technology that bears his name is still in use around the world.

Joseph Marie Jacquard (zhôzĕf´ märē´ zhäkär´), 1752–1834, French inventor, whose loom is of the greatest importance in modern mechanical figure weaving. After several years of experimentation, he received a bronze medal for his model exhibited at the Industrial Exposition at Paris (1801). In 1806 his perfected loom was bought by the state and declared public property, and he was granted an annuity of 3,000 francs and a royalty on all looms sold. The Jacquard loom, the first machine to weave in patterns, has had countless adaptations in the modern textile industry.
"Jacquard, Joseph Marie." The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed.. . Encyclopedia.com. 15 Apr. 2019 <https://www.encyclopedia.com>.
Joseph Jacquard is the inventor of the weaving loom that still bears his name. The Jacquard loom revolutionized the textile industry and is the basis for the modern automatic loom.
Little is known about the formative years and education of Joseph Marie Jacquard. He spent the first years of his professional life as an apprentice in bookbinding, type-founding, and cutlery shops. It is believed that his parents had some connection to the weaving industry. Upon their deaths Jacquard inherited a small piece of property, which afforded him the opportunity to leave his apprenticeship and begin a series of experiments with weaves that contained patterns and designs. Unsuccessful, he lost his inheritance and was forced to return to type-founding and cutlery work.
Jacquard did not completely abandon his dreams and in 1790 he conceived of the idea for his famous loom, but his work was cut short by the onset of the French Revolution. The war lasted until 1793, during which time Jacquard fought on the side of the Revolutionaries in the defense of his hometown, Lyon.
In 1801 Jacquard introduced a loom for weaving net that was an improved version of work done by three previous loom inventors. He was sent to Paris to demonstrate it, where he received a bronze medal from the French government as well as a patent for this first invention. Along with the honor came a small pension that allowed Jacquard to study at the Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers, where in 1804-1805 he perfected a mechanism for pattern weaving.
The mechanism, known as the Jacquard loom or the Jacquard attachment, was incorporated into special looms to control individual yarns. The device utilized interchangeable punched cards that controlled the weaving of the cloth so that any desired pattern could be created automatically. It enabled looms to produce fabrics with intricate woven patterns such as tapestry, brocade, and damask, and it was later adapted to the production of patterned knitted fabrics.
Using the Jacquard attachment, a given pattern is made of a predetermined series of threads that are either raised or not raised according to the holes on the punched cards. As a punched card moves into place on the loom, the weaving needles pass through the holes in the card and specific threads are raised to make a section of the desired pattern. Where there are no holes, the needles are simply pushed back off the card and no threads are raised. By adding several Jacquard attachments to one loom, a weaver can produce patterns that are both very intricate and of considerable size.
In 1806 the Jacquard loom was declared public property, and Jacquard was given a pension and royalty on each machine. But his invention was not well received by weavers, who feared that its labor-saving capabilities would take away their jobs. Weavers in Lyon burned machines and physically attacked Jacquard in protest. Eventually, the advantages of the Jacquard loom brought about its general acceptance, and by 1812 there were 11,000 of them in use in France. Jacquard received a gold medal and the Cross of the Legion of Honor in 1819. By 1820 his invention had reached England, and then it was quickly spread to the rest of the world.
Jacquard's punched card system introduced the concept of storing information for controlling data processing in a machine. In 1834, the year of Jacquard's death, these punched cards were adopted by noted English inventor Charles Babbage (1792-1871) as an input-output medium for his proposed analytical engine, the first automatic digital computer. Similarly, in 1880 American statistician Herman Hollerith (1860-1929) developed a machine capable of reading and then sorting data represented by a pattern of holes punched in cards. Using Hollerith's machine, it took just six weeks to process the 1890 United States census results—one-third the time required in 1880. Jacquard's punched cards were also used as a means of inputting data into early digital computers, but they were eventually replaced by electronic devices.

Multi-platinum alt-pop trio Echosmith's stardom skyrocketed as they came of age together as both a family and a band. Siblings Sydney, Noah, and Graham Sierota cemented themselves as an inescapable presence in music and pop culture with their triple-platinum hit "Cool Kids" and their double-platinum single "Bright" as their full-length debut, Talking Dreams, went gold. Simultaneously, Sydney stood out as a positive cultural force, whether acting as a brand ambassador for Coach or duetting on stage with Taylor Swift. They scored another hit with their bold, synth-driven single "Over My Head," joined for King & Country on the powerful hit "God Only Knows (Timbaland Remix)," and released their acclaimed sophomore album Lonely Generation in 2020. Along the way, the trio has garnered over 1 billion streams, captivated crowds worldwide, toured with twenty one pilots and collaborated with twenty one pilots, Steve Aoki, Zedd, For King & Country, Audien, Hunter Hayes, Mat Kearney and more, earned major media praise, and performed on numerous national TV shows including Live with Kelly & Ryan, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, TODAY, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Late Show with James Corden and Artists Den.
They may be a sibling trio out of Nashville, but there's nothing country about Band of Silver. Specializing in addictive, arena-ready anthems that blur the lines between rock, 80's new wave, and modern pop, the breakout three-piece has built a reputation for explosive, electrifying performances that hint at everything from Def Leppard and Madonna to Weezer and Panic! At The Disco. It makes sense, then, that the band traded Music City for LA when it came time to record their upcoming singles, teaming with celebrated producer Mike Green (Paramore, All Time Low) to create a bold, brash sound that's all their own.
Confident and self-assured, the new music showcases Band of Silver's youthful exuberance, while at the same time reflecting the trio's remarkable maturity and restraint. The songs tackle heartbreak and disappointment with hope and perseverance, offering up timely testaments to the power of faith and the unbreakable bonds of family. Avery's voice is defiantly optimistic on the tunes, balancing beauty and strength in equal measure, and her brothers perform with similar nuance, mixing hard rock grit with glossy pop shine. The results are songs that refuse to give up, even when the going gets tough, gutsy, heartfelt music that insists on better days still to come.
While the Silvernagel siblings officially started Band of Silver in high school, their musical roots stretch back far deeper. As a youngster, Evan picked up the drums, while his brother Alex played any instrument he could get his hands on. Avery joined a little later, when she discovered a passion for singing during her teenage years, and the three quickly began writing original material and performing across the country.
General admission tickets are priced at $25 (plus fees). A VIP package that includes an intimate meet & greet with the band is available for $79. Tix can be purchased online via the link below:

It's been a long time since The Pink Poodle was the height of culinary sophistication on the Gold Coast (if you can even remember that far back).
Metamorphosing from dining wasteland to a gourmand's playground, the Gold Coast has award-winning fine dining options in spades. But there are also a bunch of down-to-earth, rustic and homely restaurants, cafés and diners that should definitely make the list next time you hit the GC.
Make a reservation at one (or all) of these Gold Coast restaurants for your next visit.
Award-winning dining? Tick. Waterfront views? Tick. Great food? A given, considering the guys behind the aprons hail from some of the country's top South-East Asian restaurants.
Ask any local about Rick Shores in Burleigh Heads and you're guaranteed to cop an earful. So close to the beach you can hear the waves in between mouthfuls, you won't know what's more impressive, the prime location or the flavour sensations blowing your mind, from bar snacks like the silken tofu with Sichuan eggplant sauce and crisp lettuce through to the finger-licking main roasted pork shoulder with apple teriyaki and red miso.
Nutella doughnut sandwich. Got your attention? A bakery this may be, but Paddock Bakery's organic wood-fired sourdough is turned into all kinds of tastebud-tantalising treats at this cute renovated Queenslander in Miami. Surrounded by a thriving garden, fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs are handpicked to become the stars on the ever-growing and changing menu.
Their meatball sub is heaven in two handfuls – meatballs, roasted capsicum sauce and wood-fired sub all made in-house and topped with cheese. And if you hit a bit of a bread coma, the carrot cake porridge combines oats, sultanas, carrot, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, pecans, walnuts, toasted coconut and honeycomb into heartiest, most comforting breakfast around this winter. The best part? It's open seven days.
Burleigh Headland and seafood go together like peas and carrots; like roast lamb and mint sauce; like meat pies and sauce (okay, you get the drift).
Not unexpectedly, fish is the hero here.
At The Fish House, the onus is on the highest quality catches, prepared simply so you can still taste the ocean. Oh, and an A-Class wine list.
Book for lunch, order a bottle of crisp white wine and say yes to the chef's menu.
This suave culinary hot spot garnered John Cusack's Hollywood tick of approval, but to be honest we knew it was a winner well before then. The actor opted to dine at Social not one or two, but five nights running while filming on the Gold Coast. And it's not hard to see why he was so smitten.
Impeccable service, a classy fit out, quality charcuterie and cheeses, and inventive Spanish-inspired share plates make Social Eating House a stand out in Broadbeach's Oracle complex.
Hot Tip: Eat at the bar overlooking the buzzing kitchen for a slice of Manhattan living on the Gold Coast.
Within a few days of opening, locals in the know were already hard-pressed to find a table at this new healthy eating café, even with the plethora of indoor/outdoor options available.
Taking over the corner opposite the Nobby's Beach Surf Club, BSKT Café (short for Biscuit) houses a yoga studio upstairs and serves up delicious produce downstairs; most of it gluten and dairy free for the intolerant/allergic/#cleaneating purists amongst us.
Save room for the brownie with coconut ice-cream (although I can't be sure how many yoga classes you'll need to do to burn that one off).
Lamb shoulder. That's all you need to know to add Hellenika to your list of must-try Gold Coast restaurants.
This Greek restaurant in Nobby Beach not only has some of the best atmosphere and décor along the coast, it also has the juiciest, falling-off-the-bone lamb shoulder to be eaten. Ever.
Hellenika is on the side of one of the busiest highways in Australia, however, the unlikely setting makes the cosy and welcoming atmosphere inside even more surprising. It's also one of the best spots for a long Sunday lunch, just be prepared to leave full!
Thank goodness Aus-Mex has gone as stale as a two-year-old Old El Paso shell and been removed from our dining repertoire. In its place, a funky-as-hell soundtrack, moody Day of the Dead decor and a killer menu from the ladies behind Bonita Bonita in Mermaid Beach.
Think scallops with hazelnut mole and chorizo crumb, piquillo poppers filled with melted Meredith goats cheese and slow-cooked lamb tacos followed up with sweet pumpkin empanadas with salted caramel. We'd say arrriba, but then we'd had to slap ourselves for being so cliché.
Neighbouring BonBon bar is the perfect spot for pre or post-dinner drinks.
If you're familiar with Elk espresso in Broadbeach, then you'll be booking a table at Sparrow Eating House before this sentence is read. Brought to you by the talented couple behind Elk, this chic restaurant is all geometric wire light shades and copper bar and tabletops, making it as pretty to look at as the delicious offering you'll find on the menu.
Get set to share and take your pick between the likes of pumpkin and walnut croquettes, tempura zucchini flowers, mac and cheese with smoky speck parcels and honey mustard, and scallops with artichoke puree, prosciutto and pistachios.
Whatever you do, just be sure to leave enough room for a dessert cocktail; the peanut butter martini is worth the drive from Brisbane alone.
Itadakimasu! World-class, fresh and inventive-as-Einstein Japanese is found in the form of Kiyomi on the lobby level of The Star Gold Coast in Broadbeach.
Then, if the sake selection isn't hitting the right spot, dessert will smack you around the sweet tooth with the insanely good Goma Street signature stack (it involves sesame ice-cream and yes, you need to order it).
Take three mates, an unused tin shed and a back street in Miami and what do you get? One hipper than a hipster-with-a-pug-on-rollerskates café that pumps out great coffee, a hearty breakfast menu and epic burgers and share boards come afternoon.
Burleigh Social Club is sharing the crowd load with Paddock Bakery up the street and competing on the plate with their popular Paleo breakfast and (not-so-Paleo) white choc salted caramel popcorn muffin. Bring your pug and get amongst it.
Buffets are never normally an acceptable eating venue unless you're on a cruise. However, QT Gold Coast changed the game when they introduced their gourmet all-you-can-eat Bazaar back in 2010. And my God, it's such a good concept. Something for everyone, and lots of it.
One of the hardest things about a buffet is discipline and small portions. But save room for dessert – the dessert chef is like Willy Wonka with his love of popping rocks and fizzing candies.
Nestled down a lane in the surfing mecca of Burleigh Heads, Justin Lane suits the cool vibe of this area to a T. The bohemian set congregates here in big numbers on a Friday and Saturday night (expect to queue) for some of the best pizzas around.
There's a rooftop bar and a cocktail list that keeps you going back for more. Don't expect to linger though as this place is so popular a bill will be on your table by the time you finish your last slice.
You don't want to dine here if you're a bit precious about sitting on mismatched chairs and stools, but if you're happy with a couple of ice buckets to dunk your BYO wine into and tables large enough to seat the whole crew – with tasty nosh a bonus – then say hello to Willow Dining Room.
Non-locals might have to look a little harder than most to find this pretty little sidewalk café, tucked off the main highway just north of Burleigh Heads. Again, share plates are the name of the game here with the bonus being the super relaxed, unpretentious vibe.
Okay, so it's not technically a restaurant, but if you're looking to eat out on the GC (and especially if you can't decide on a cuisine that will keep your horde happy), take a stroll down a laneway in Miami and get in on the buzz that is Marketta.
Every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evening, the markets serve up everything from Spanish, Italian, Thai and French cuisine – as well as boutique local beer and wine, a dessert hall and live music.
You could be gobbling down dumplings for starters, filling up on fresh ravioli for your main and taking home a sinfully sweet French pastry for dessert (or let's face it, eating it all in the one sitting because you only live once).
Sitting (exceptionally) pretty at Capri on Via Roma in Surfers Paradise, Cicchetti is a treat not just to the tummy, but to the eyes as well. Artfully designed with floor-to-ceiling windows and dazzling chandeliers, the pizza and pasta bar is a first-class dining experience minus the hefty price tag.
Following the success of their original Byron-based restaurant, the owners decided to bring the same casual yet chic atmosphere to the GC, and we're so glad they did.
Cutthroat shave, barbershop snip, new designer threads, and a box of surfboard wax, yep, you can add them all as extras to your order of a bacon and egg roll and flat white at Alfred's. Opened initially as a barber and retail shop, the boys at Alfred's Apartment decided to add Alfred's Diner to the premises making it the ultimate place to hang out in Mermaid Beach.
Toted as 'gourmet street food' the diner serves up tasty breakfast fare, like deluxe acai bowls topped with caramelised buckinis, Steph Gilmore's favourite poached eggs on avocado toast sprinkled with dukkah and goats cheese, and a Mexican breakfast burrito. Lunch takes a leaf squarely out of the American cuisine cookbook with a short offering of two burritos, one salad and three hot dogs.
It's a place where you can sip on bottles of Living Juice, get a beard trim and shop the carefully-curated collection of gentlemanly fashion and accessories, at the same time as getting a bite to eat.
Little by name but certainly not by reputation, this boutique restaurant and bar tucked away in North Burleigh is a booking mandatory type of place – you don't want to miss out! A little bit Mediterranean, a little bit Asian, the tapas-style menu brings fine dining into the share plate philosophy. No amount of preparation is too much, it seems.
The Little Bar is its perfect partner, just one shop away, serving great cocktails and wine and chocolate boards, perfect for chilly winter nights (or, any night).
Adding to the already impressive Nobby Beach foodie line-up, you'll find The Yard on your way down to the beach and once you stick your head in to see what it's all about, you'll definitely find it hard to leave (especially if the kids spy the playground out back).
Here the onus is on paddock to plate, with an all-day menu line-up featuring shakshuka with cherry tomatoes, fetta and chorizo and blue swimmer crab cakes with habanero slaw, as well as favourites like pulled pork tacos and a wagyu burger.
The addition of a liquor licence means the bar is pumping out wine, craft beer, cocktails and jugs of sangria, too! Did someone say boozy brunch?
Head for these restaurants with epic water views.

Assassination Nation (2018)
Movie Review • Sep 28, 2018 • Author: David Scott
The best horror films capture the fears of a generation and culture and Assassination Nation dives head first into the horrors of our times with frightening effectiveness. Director Sam Levinson elevates his craft to astounding heights with energetic camera work, gripping scene composition, and unrelentingly tense pacing wrapped around a story about the increasingly unreliable nature of information as it destructively passes through the lens of public perception and groupthink judgment. Viewer beware that Assassination Nation is deeply upsetting to watch. Pay attention to the trailer, it is not joking about its trigger warnings.
Where Assassination Nation excels the most is in its use of modern fears to build a narrative that is complex and painful. It rips into how everything in society today makes you afraid of yourself. You're afraid of how people treat you, of the things you need to do to be accepted, afraid of not being what the world wants and also afraid of being what the world wants. You can't be you and you can't escape being you. It's miserable. Everything constantly worse because of the unreliable narrative of the world… not any one character, but the very society that the story takes place in feels insubstantial. The era of fake news made manifest and amplifying everything that you're already terrified of.
Sam Levinson's visual storytelling magnifies the intricate narrative while keeping it tight but frenetic. Why waste words when you can have three parallel scenes playing in unison with simultaneous threads tying together? His style imparts the full runtime with energy that highlights the best elements of the story while muting some of the weaker moments. I don't believe I've seen this much style since Scott Pilgrim VS The World.
I want to spend some extra time giving credit to Levinson for what's accomplished here. One of the major challenges with a story like this is communicating all of the information that the viewer needs to track the action and narrative. The use of parrallel frames and layered scene composition filled with densely packed information communicates a story that is so much larger than would be possible without so much talent. You cannot watch this film passively because so much is communicated visually.
As mentioned before, Assassination Nation is punctuated with violence and sexuality that is confrontational as well as brutal bullying, assault, human objectification, and misogyny. The aggressive subject matter underscores and highlights all the nightmares that the film brings to life. I don't say this casually, but you should not watch this film if you aren't prepared to be uncomfortable at best and thoroughly sick at worst. Honestly, Assassination Nation should make you upset. It drags you through so much trash that you can't help but feel dirty on the other side.
If you're a fan of horror, you cannot miss Assassination Nation as it will help define a new era of films that dig into the fears of a modern age. Not for the faint of heart, if you're up for a visceral and upsetting thrill ride through a modern nightmare definitely give it a watch.
Final Verdict: If you're a fan of horror you cannot miss it.

Baron Courts : News - Blindwells? Riggonhead? or perhaps Charlestoun!
Blindwells? Riggonhead? or perhaps Charlestoun!
As discussions and consultations get underway re the old 'Blindwells open cast mine' the Battle Trust has been making a point [or two] to the developers and to East Lothian Council.
The Trust's interest is that the Riggonhead Defile along which the Prince and his Highland army marched before dawn on September 21st runs across the area. And the area is of course now part of the National Battlefield Inventory watched over by Historic Scotland. That defile was a major contributor to the Prince's stunning success and the consequent penning of the National Anthem no less.
Each year, since 2006 when the Trust was established, the re-enactors have gathered in Tranent to take that route north along the defile to emerge just west of Seton Collegiate. For those who make the journey there's a medal to be won. And there's an interpretation board at Seton Collegiate telling the tale for visitors.
.... and several panels in the Prestonpans Tapestry pinpoint the detail - even where the moon was that night as depicted #67 stitched by Lyn Dunachie and friends!
So, the Trust's straightforward purpose is to conserve and interpret the defile in an appropriate manner that enables annual re-enactments to continue and the new residents of Blindwells/ Riggonhead/ Charlestoun to know something of those historic moments in 1745. The obligatory 'percentage for the arts' and street names that will be forthcoming can readily reflect these themes as well as the open cast coal mining and the old Riggonhead Farm itself.
As to a name, should it be Blindwells or could something more intriguing be contemplated ... such as Charlestoun or Riggonhead?

Justin Bieber Sings About Killing Black People, Joining KKK
New video reveals singer at 14 parodying "One Less Lonely Girl" with uncomfortable results

A video taken five years ago of then-14-year-old Justin Bieber changing the lyrics to his own song, "One Less Lonely Girl" – but replacing "girl" with the N-word – has surfaced online. In the clip, posted by TMZ, the pop star repeatedly sings, "One less lonely n—-r," and, "If I kill you, I'll be part of the KKK, but there'll be one less lonely n—-r." Throughout the 30-second video, another prepubescent voice giggles in the background.
Justin Bieber, Manager Address Singer's Racism Charges
Bieber's team reportedly told the gossip site that they want the video online so he can own up to it. TMZ reports that Bieber had seen video of a comedian parodying the song in the same way the pop star sings it in the video and liked it so much he wanted to film it.

He allegedly told his friends Usher and Will Smith about the video years ago, saying he knew immediately that it was a stupid move on his part. Usher supposedly showed the teenager "historically racist videos" at the time, according to TMZ, to demonstrate just how wrong Bieber was to make the video.

Bieber has reportedly been the target of extortion attempts recently with the threat of revealing both this video and one of him at age 15, which recently went online, in which he also used the N-word. He has released the video to circumvent the extortion demands. TMZ reported that the video came watermarked with the word "proof" over it.
After the video of him telling a racist joke as a 15-year-old leaked – the video for which is available on TMZ – he issued an apology. "As a kid, I didn't understand the power of certain words and how they can hurt," he said. "I thought it was ok to repeat hurtful words and jokes, but didn't realize at the time that it wasn't funny and that in fact my actions were continuing the ignorance."

Why Red Bull Should Be The Team To Beat In Monaco
Posted on May 23, 2018 | by Ryan Ashenhurst
It's the usual pre-weekend game of 'pass the favourites parcel' between the top three teams, with Mercedes propping up Red Bull and Ferrari as the teams to beat, and vice-versa.
Red Bull will contest its 250th race start since debuting in 2005, a herculean milestone reached by a team which has, over the years, developed title-winning cars convincingly and evolved into a cornerstone team in the championship.
Monaco presents a unique technical challenge for teams. Setup bias leans towards slow speed corners, maximum downforce is pursued, a lack of significant straights makes engine and brake cooling critical and the chances of pulling off an overtake are as rare as the prospects of Eddie Jordan turning up to the paddock wearing a plain shirt.
All of these factors culminate into a tense and usually race-long test in that one lapse in focus results in car meeting wall. The missed chance of a win will be fresh in Red Bull's memory after a calamitous pit-stop denied Daniel Ricciardo victory from pole in 2016. But the signs that this season's RB14 will be up for the challenges of the circuit are there in plain sight.
If we look at the sectors that have emulated the nature of Monaco the most so far this season, we should probably look at sector two in Baku and sector three in Barcelona.
The Red Bull drivers topped the sector three times during the Spanish Grand Prix, with Ricciardo edging Verstappen, and Lewis Hamilton in close quarters on tyres unavailable for this weekend. For Baku's sector 2, Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari was quickest by a tenth of a second, but Verstappen was second quickest and Ricciardo six-hundredths of a second adrift in third. This should make for positive reading for Red Bull.
The narrative that the car will be strong in Monaco seems fairly placed for the moment, but the one issue that the team needs to get on top of is qualifying.
Will the advantages that the car has in the slower corners be enough to offset the power unit deficit and allow Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen to challenge for at least a front-row start? Pole in Monaco can sometimes be half the victory and Red Bull's one-lap pace so far in 2018 hasn't been up there with Mercedes and Ferrari – the highest an RB14 has started all year is only fourth. The emphasis on qualifying in Monaco is massive and a third-row start could result in a frustrating race, especially if the race pace is there.
Monaco was Mercedes' bogey track last season, and Ferrari's concerns about the drop-off in form in Spain will only be rectified once it has some practice data to look at. For Red Bull, this is a big weekend – not just because the team will celebrate its 250th grand prix, but also because it should provide an opportunity to claw back some vital points in the constructors' championship.

What do movie stars do on the opening day of their new movie? If you're Seth Rogen and company, you pass out candy, t-shirts, shot glasses, and soundtracks to your audiences.
This Is The End, the raunchy new apocalyptic comedy from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, opened nationwide yesterday to laughing crowds. Stirring up some excitement for the films, some of the film's leads traveled to theaters around Los Angeles to greet moviegoers. Seth Rogen reportedly stopped by theaters at The Grove and Century City, and then joined Jonah Hill and Jay Baruchel at the ArcLlight Hollywood, passing out candy and gifts from the movie.
This Is The End is a fun summer film, full of self-parody, raunchy scenes, slapstick antics, actors having fun. The plot centers around a bunch of actors who happen to be partying at James Franco's house when the apocalypse begins. Rogen plays himself as a pothead, Jonah Hill plays himself as an arrogant nice guy, Franco plays himself as a pretentious artist with a scary thing for Rogen, Craig Robinson plays himself as a chill coward with issues, Jay Baruchel plays himself as the only sensible person in Los Angeles, and Danny McBride plays himself as a crude and destructive purveyor of trouble. Special appearances by a coke-sniffing Michael Cera, face-slapping Rihanna, axe-wielding Emma Watson, heavenly Backstreet Boys, and more including Aziz Ansari, Paul Rudd, Channing Tatum, Mindy Kaling, Kevin Hart, and Jason Segel. Fully aware of their public images, the actors all play amazing parodies of themselves.
Compared to most end-of-the-world films, this film interestingly seemed to capture how people might react to the apocalypse in a somewhat realistic fashion. I am sure that many of us would join Craig Robinson is screaming like a little girl if a demon cat thing jumped at us. While the movie was a little bit too long and sometimes seemed to wander, it was hilarious. Armageddon tests friendships, causes egos to clash, and allows these comedic actors to shine. The chemistry between the cast and the casual nature of the film really made it easy to connect with the movie and laugh. It looked like they had genuine fun making it, and that feeling is easily shared with the audiences. From Satanic possession to Sinkhole de Mayo, This Is The End is a fun flick for the summer. Get thee to the theater and laugh at the end of the world before it's too late!

What to Do If Your Cat Is Stung By a Bee
Bee stings can often be handled at home, but here's what you need to know about taking care of your cat and when to see your vet.
By Kristi Valentini August 24, 2020
Curious cats sometimes get stung by bees, often in the worst places—their faces and paws. If you've ever had a bee sting, you know how painful it can be. Most bee stings resolve on their own. But in some cases, bee stings can become an emergency. Learn how to treat a cat bee sting at home and when it's best to see a veterinarian.
What to Do When Your Cat Is Stung By a Bee
If you know your cat was stung by a bee, see if the stinger is still attached to your cat. You'll want to remove it because the stinger continues to release venom even after the bee has flown away.
Use the edge of a credit card or your fingernail to scrape across the skin and push the stinger out. Avoid using tweezers. Squeezing the stinger can pump more toxins into your pet.
Note: Wasps and hornets are sometimes mistaken as bees. When these insects sting, they don't leave their stinger behind.
Bee Sting Symptoms in Cats
Oftentimes, you don't see the incident happen but your cat may start acting funny after being stung by a bee. Move in for a closer look if you see your cat:
Licking or biting an area of their body
Pawing at their face
Crying out
Can Cats Be Allergic to Bee Stings?
Although it's possible for a cat to have an allergic reaction to bee venom, it's rare. "We don't usually see cats go into anaphylactic shock from being stung by a bee. It's much more common in people than cats," Erick Mears, DVM, DACVIM, medical director of BluePearl Pet Hospital in Tampa Bay, Florida, says. "A typical reaction in cats is swelling and irritation at the sting site."
What's more likely to happen is swelling that becomes troublesome because of its location. Increased swelling from a sting in the mouth or throat, nose, eyes, or paws can affect your cat's ability to swallow, see, walk, and even breathe.

First Aid Remedies for Cat Bee Stings
"Cats are pretty resistant to having anything put on them like an ice pack, topical medication, or bandage," Mears says. "But if you see that your cat is uncomfortable or the swelling is causing a problem, ask your vet if you can give your cat over-the-counter diphenhydramine (Benadryl). Typically we recommend a dose of one milligram per pound to reduce inflammation."
Tips for Giving Cats Medication
It can be tricky to administer medicine to your cat, since most cats can detect pills hidden in treats.
"You can try a pill pocket, which is a soft treat made for hiding pills that you can pick up at your local pet supply store,"Mears says. "There's about a 50 percent chance it'll work. The other option is to use a liquid version of diphenhydramine."
When giving your cat a liquid medication, try to release it in the back of their mouth. Once your cat tastes it, they'll start drooling and frothing to get it out of their mouth.
If you can't get your cat to take medication and the swelling isn't going away on it's own, a trip to your vet may be in order. They can administer an injection of steroid medication to help reduce inflammation.
When to Take Your Cat to the Vet for a Bee Sting
Most of the time, bee stings in cats can be handled at home. However, if your cat has been stung multiple times, seek immediate veterinary care. The more venom, the higher chance your cat may have a serious reaction. Also, it's important to see your vet if the sting was in your cat's throat, where it could affect breathing or swallowing.
Otherwise, just keep an eye on your cat. Get veterinary attention right away if you notice new symptoms including:
Excessive swelling or itching
Diarrhea and vomiting
Drooling
Panting
Rest assured that it's rare for bee stings in cats to become life-threatening. But it's always a good idea to talk with your veterinarian if you notice anything out of the ordinary in your cat. With a little bit of time, the bee sting will go away. But hopefully your kitty will have learned a valuable life lesson: Stay away from bees!
