This review will not be popular. I really enjoyed Jupiter Ascending. I had a similar reaction to another movie I also enjoyed immensely, John Carter.
Plot twists develop that are unexpected and handled in surprisingly dramatic and original ways. I found the series getting more interesting as it progressed as it addressed issues of militarism, greed, social structure, duty, honor, generational transition, artificial intelligence, and reliance on technology.
After seeing this, I would definitely see someone like writer director Eric Hayden doing a really good job directing the film version of Andy Weir's The Martian instead of a more mainstream Hollywood type director.
The first half of ENDER'S GAME plays like every "raw recruit boot camp" movie you've ever seen, punctuated by sequences about paintball in zero gravity.
When all is said and done this is a good movie that can be enjoyed for what it is: an intelligent and thrilling story, elegantly produced, with excellent acting and beautiful photography.
I was really looking forward to seeing Iron Sky after all the online hype. Actually seeing it was a major disappointment. This movie is awful.
This is the "intergalactic pod race" story you get from people who don't read enough good science fiction.

In the following article by Maggie Chen, which appeared in the Autumn 2017 edition of the Victorian Chamber of Commerce & Industry Business Excellence magazine, Slade Group Chairman Geoff Slade shares his story and the insights he has developed over decades in business, in an industry he is proud to be a part of.
Geoff Slade began GW Slade & Associates 50 years ago, in a small office in Melbourne's CBD. Before that, he worked as an assistant HR manager at an oil refinery at Western Point Bay. After almost taking up a job in consulting, at the age of 21, he decided to start his own employment agency in 1967.
His father had doubts, but his mother took a leap of faith and lent him $300 – all the money she had in the bank. It just covered his first month's rent. "I had to make a placement in the first month; otherwise I couldn't have paid the second month's rent," Slade recalled.
That he did, and for about 21 years, he built the business – by then called Slade Consulting Group – to be, by 1988, "the biggest executive recruitment company in the country", spanning seven cities in Australia and New Zealand.
A UK-based multinational approached Geoff and bought the business from him. In 1989, he commenced a two-year stint as HR Director at Pacific Dunlop.
When the multinational exited the Australian market a few years later, Slade re-established Slade Group in 1992. This time, as a 43-year old with four kids, he decided he would only have offices in Melbourne and Sydney so that he could spend more time with his children and less on planes.
Starting from scratch again at Slade Group was "great", he said. Pacific Dunlop, which at one stage had 45,000 employees, retained him as a preferred supplier for over 20 years.
How did Slade manage to build and maintain such a successful recruitment company that has already outlived most businesses?
Thirdly, for a long-term business in HR, you need to really understand customer needs. "You have to understand what their culture is like to provide them with quality people that will fit into that culture," said Slade.
Finally, for business sustainability, it's important to stay in touch – and that means some 'face time'. One issue Slade sees today is that young people tend to communicate by email or text and don't actually go out to meet the customer and really get to know them.
The recruitment industry has faced some challenging times. Seek and LinkedIn both changed the game, as did the global financial crisis, said Slade. A lot of work went to internal recruitment teams. In the face of this, he set up a company with Julian Doherty called Yellow Folder Research, which sells information on talent.
Slade's wife, Anita Ziemer, Executive Director of Slade Group, took over running the Slade business about five years ago, when Slade became Chairman of the group. He says this allowed him to spend more time developing Yellow Folder Research, which now provides research to public companies and multinationals around Australia. It has also freed him up to focus on the Slade Group-affiliated executive search practice TRANSEARCH International Australia, which is part of a global practice. Slade points out that particularly in the case of senior positions, you really need to understand your client and their needs, and the personalised filtering services that recruitment companies can provide can be invaluable.
Slade is keen to mention his wife and family. He "wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for them", he said.
Great read, Geoff. Well done and congratulations on the 50 year anniversary. Your contribution to the Australian recruitment industry has few peers.


The human body channels energy (chi) along meridians, or pathways. These meridians have both yin and yang components, based on the direction of the energy flow on the body. Chi (pronounced chee, also spelled qi or ki in Japanese shiatsu) is the fundamental life energy, and it travels through the body in channels called meridians. There are 12 major meridians in the body that transport chi, corresponding to the 12 main organs categorized by Chinese medicine.
The meridians are channels which are 20-50 mill microns in diameter. They have a thin membranous wall and are filled with a transparent, colorless fluid. Each of the main meridians intricately develops subsidiary branches, some of which supply adjacent areas with energy while others ultimately reach the surface of the skin. The places at which the branches reach the skin`s surface are the acupuncture and pressure points. Several channels may converge at one point; therefore it is possible to affect several meridians at one time. The meridians cannot be seen with the human eye but scientists have been able to precisely map these energy channels or meridians using sensitive electronic instrumentation.
In addition, there are two single meridians following the midline of the body, one at the front and the other along the spine. Many points are distributed along the meridians. These points are essentially transformer stations through which bio-energy flows into the muscle structure to allow organized activity to take place.
In disease, imbalances develop in these energy flows, causing some of the transformer points to become irritated or congested. This results in pain or weakness in the surrounding muscles. Stimulating these points with special needles (acupuncture) or pressure (acupressure) helps to normalize impaired conditions. In addition, you may use electro-acupuncture to treat points with a weak DC current. Electro-acupuncture instruments are relatively cheap and easy to use.

How to find or locate acupressure points?
There are many online sites with images showing the position of acupoints and meridians on the body. After getting the body or body part image, you can get an idea of the location of a specific point.
You can work most of the important acupoints by simply searching them out with your fingers. As you press into these areas, you are looking for the tenderest or tense areas. When you find them, squeeze or press gently but firmly in the area until you feel a change in the pain response, then move on. Even acupuncturists palpate an area for a tender spot for more accurate point location during acupuncture treatments. Points are typically in a dip rather than a bony protrusion.
Tip: If a point is sore, it needs work. You should feel sour or numb, but not knife-cut like pain when pressing. The acupoints are usually between or beside the bones and tendons or ligaments, on in a depression, never on the bones or blood vessels. If a point is not sore, leave it alone.
Finger pressure will work but most people get a better Healing Response using acupressure tools. They allow more pressure to be applied with less work, stress and potential damage to the massager. If a point is very sore, press only as hard as you can tolerate do not overdo it this is not a contest.
Light pressure for a longer period will give you the same results. Some people who are larger or less sensitive than others, may need more pressure to activate the healing response.
You can learn the basics of acupressure at home. Visit free websites such as acupressureonline.org. You can get basic instructions for different acupressure techniques.
Read books about acupressure. Most books offer detailed illustrations to find potent points for treating hundreds of ailments.
Watch instructional videos on acupressure. You can purchase them at any health food store or watch them for free on Youtube.com.

Heart Mountain Reveals a Darker Side of American History
Museum was the site of a camp for 14,000 Japanese Americans during WWII
by Dina Mishev, AARP, August 20, 2021

En español | The Heart Mountain Interpretive Center is fully open, but masks are required indoors, regardless of one's vaccination status.
Looking out the large windows in the meditation room at the Heart Mountain Interpretive Center, the landscape looks as empty as it is rugged. Here in northern Wyoming's Bighorn Basin, hayfields and sagebrush steppe stretch for miles, until Heart Mountain breaks the horizon with its 2,000-foot rise from the surrounding flats.
While it's peaceful here today, between August 1942 and November 1945 this desolate area was home to Wyoming's third-largest community, with a population of about 10,000. But Heart Mountain wasn't a city, it was one of 10 relocation centers established in the West by the federal government's War Relocation Administration. After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the government forced more than 120,000 people of Japanese descent — about two-thirds of them U.S. citizens — from their homes in California, Oregon, Washington and southern Arizona and into camps such as Heart Mountain.
Today several of the former camps have museums and/or interpretive centers and are open to the public, including the Manzanar National Historic Site in California.
This Wyoming museum is unique, however, because people once forced to live there helped create it. "At Manzanar, the government listened to former incarcerees and took their input, but the former incarcerees understood that the story told would ultimately be the story the government wanted to tell," says Dakota Russell, executive director of the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation. "At Heart Mountain, the stories from the incarcerees aren't filtered. A museum in the middle of nowhere like this can seem like a detour, but it's a detour so worth your while."
Location: 1539 Road 19, off U.S. Highway 14A between Cody and Powell
Getting there: You have to drive to the interpretive center, which is almost equidistant from Cody (13 miles) and Powell (11 miles). There's no public transportation; on-site parking is free.
Visit: Daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., May 15-Oct. 1; Wednesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Oct. 2-May 14; other visits by appointment.
Admission: $9 ($7 for seniors 62 and older)
Tours: The center is currently self-guided, but in September it will offer tours of the barrack and the hospital grounds that will be free with admission to the center.
Best season to visit: Annually, the last full weekend in July, the center hosts the Heart Mountain Pilgrimage, a gathering of former internees and their families that's open to the public. It includes public events at the center and in and around Cody and Powell. Former internees volunteer as docents at the center in the week leading up to the pilgrimage.
Accessibility: "Almost everything at the center is ADA accessible, including the barrack and the walking trail," Russell says.
Heart Mountain history
Following the Pearl Harbor attack in December 1941, the U.S. government ordered people of Japanese descent from their homes and moved them to makeshift "assembly centers," established at places such as the Santa Anita racetrack and Los Angeles County Fairgrounds in California while the government built the 10 camps. It took 2,000 workers six months to construct 650 buildings at Heart Mountain, including 467 20-by-120-foot uninsulated, tar paper barracks furnished with military cots and potbelly coal stoves for heating (but no running water); a 150-bed hospital; workshops; churches; communal bathrooms; and mess halls. A barbed wire fence and nine guard towers surrounded the camp, on 740 arid acres between Cody and Powell. The first of the incarcerated people arrived in August 1942.
When the war ended in September 1945, all 10 internment camps disappeared as quickly as they appeared. The last trainload of residents left Heart Mountain in November 1945 — each given $25 and a train ticket to anywhere in the U.S.
Almost immediately, the government opened the detention camp land to World War II veterans to homestead, and sold off the barracks for $1 each.
Unlike the nine other internment camps, not all of Heart Mountain was razed or moved. A staff housing building and three hospital-related buildings — a boiler house, warehouse and mess hall — remained. In 1996, locals from Powell partnered with former internees to establish the foundation to preserve these four buildings, share the stories of residents and educate the public about their history. Over the following decade, the group gained nonprofit status, worked with the Bureau of Reclamation to better stabilize the remaining hospital buildings, and purchased 50 acres of the former camp.
The site was designated a national historic landmark by the National Park Service in 2006, and after several years of planning and construction, the 11,000-square-foot interpretive center — designed to resemble a row of three barracks — opened in 2011.
Due to continuing structural instability, visitors can't go inside the four original buildings, but the foundation hopes to restore and open them someday.
"Even though most of the camp is gone, there's something visceral about being on the site and feeling the wind and, in winter, the cold," says Aura Newlin, a member of the foundation board of directors and a descendant of Heart Mountain internees. "My hope is that visitors see how fragile democracy can be. Heart Mountain is a sobering reminder that, even when things get scary, we need to make sure we're not reacting in ways that harm people on the basis of their status, race or ethnicity."

A different point of view
The exhibits and artifacts at Heart Mountain are presented and described in the first person. "Instead of a detached author voice, this is narrated from the perspective of 'we,'" says Russell. Newlin adds, "It's subtle but really shapes the visitor experience. Instead of saying, 'This happened to them,' displays are written, 'This happened to us. We were living here.' It makes for a more powerful and empathetic visitor experience."
The first-person perspective starts as soon as you enter the center. In All We Could Carry — a 15-minute documentary by the son of a former Heart Mountain internee — 12 former residents share stories from their lives at the camp. Other exhibits tell how the camp's high school football team (1,500 teens graduated from Heart Mountain High School) lost only one game to nearby high schools over three years. Mothers tell stories of giving birth at the camp's hospital (550 babies were born at Heart Mountain). Individual items on display include ice skates belonging to Newlin's great-aunt and her grandfather's military uniform, dog tags, mess kit and military ribbons. (About 33,000 Japanese Americans were drafted into or volunteered to serve in the U.S. military in World War II, including about 900 from Heart Mountain. Look for an Honor Roll bearing the names of those Heart Mountain internees up the hill from the center, near a quarter-mile paved interpretive walking trail.)
"The skates get you into the mind of the youth here," Newlin says. "They were in prison with barbed wire surrounding them and found ways to be teenagers."
Throughout the center, life-size cutouts of prisoners from archival black-and-white photos put you next to them — on a train platform waiting to be taken from California to Wyoming, in a pottery class at camp, and doing projects alongside fellow Boy Scouts from Cody and Powell. "We try and display the collection in a way that shows the prisoners were all individuals, not a monolith," Russell says. "Because we only have space to display a small portion of our collection, we keep it in rotation. People who come back see something different than they saw before. We have so many stories we can tell."
"Heart Mountain is a sobering reminder that, even when things get scary, we need to make sure we're not reacting in ways that harm people on the basis of their status, race or ethnicity."
There will be more to see soon. The government sold all 457 barracks when the camp closed, but the foundation bought back one of them in 2015 and shipped it back to Heart Mountain. With a recent grant from the National Park Service, the foundation has been restoring it and hopes to open it to visitors in September. "In the museum, we already have recreated rooms made to look like barracks, but they're generic," Russell says. "We wanted to make the real barrack more personal, so we picked three former incarcerees and are recreating their actual childhood rooms. These spaces will be narrated by them."
"The barrack is very important," says Sam Mihara, a member of the foundaton board of directors who was brought to the camp as a 9-year-old with his family. (He's not one of the three former residents whose narrations will become part of the center.) "When they brought that back, it made a huge difference in my remembering what life there was like. When I set foot in it, I was immediately back 80 years to when I lived in a single small room for three years. Visitors will feel that."
More to explore in the area
Head 4.5 miles west from the museum to the Heart Mountain Ranch Preserve, owned by the Nature Conservancy, to tackle a challenging eight-mile (round-trip) hiking trail that climbs 2,000 feet to Heart Mountain's 8,123-foot-tall summit. "The mountain was not part of the camp, but incarcerees were allowed to get passes to leave the camp and hike up the mountain," Russell says. If you're not up for a strenuous hike, do stop at the interpretative cabin at the trailhead to learn about the geology, cultural significance and ecology of Heart Mountain.
Much farther afield
Among the incarcerated at Heart Mountain were father and son Seiichi and Roy Kito, who were brought to Wyoming along with other family members from their Los Angeles home. In 1903, Seiichi had founded Fugetsu-Do, a mochi and manju confectionary in L.A.'s Little Tokyo. When he was old enough, Roy worked there and learned how to make the traditional Japanese sweets. The bakery closed when the government sent the Kitos to Heart Mountain, but Roy continued to make mochi at the camp, using sugar donated by other camp families from their monthly rations. When the Kitos — including Roy's new wife, Kazuko, whom he met and married at the camp — returned to Los Angeles in 1945, Roy reopened Fugetsu-Do in the same spot on East First Street it had been previously (after paying the landlord four years of back rent). Roy's son, Brian, now operates the business, and Brian's son also works there.
Splurge: One block off Cody's Main Street, the 21-room Chamberlin Inn opened in 1903 as a small boardinghouse. It was remodeled between 2005 and 2007, and most rooms now feature antique clawfoot tubs and brick walls. Rooms from $299
Save: The family-owned and -run Lamplighter Inn and Restaurant in downtown Powell is dated, but its 17 rooms are clean and cozy, and its restaurant serves delicious steaks. It also has an on-site liquor store. Rooms from $89

Lee Mandelo
Lee MandeloLee MandeloLee Mandelo
Lee Mandelo (he/they) is a writer, critic, and occasional editor whose fields of interest include speculative and queer fiction, especially when the two coincide. His debut novel Summer Sons, which has been featured in publications ranging from NPR to the Chicago Review of Books, is a contemporary southern gothic dealing with queer masculinity, fast cars, and ugly inheritances. Two novellas, Feed Them Silence and an as-of-yet untitled project, are forthcoming in 2023 and 2024 respectively from Tordotcom Publishing. Other work can be found in magazines such as Tor.com, Uncanny, and Nightmare, and Mandelo has also been a past nominee for awards including the Nebula, Lambda, and Hugo. Aside from a stint overseas learning to speak Scouse, Mandelo has spent his life ranging across Kentucky, currently living in Louisville and pursuing a PhD at the University of Kentucky.
Represented by Kate McKean of Morhaim Literary.
Growing up in Bullitt Co., KY alongside the evolution of the internet, Lee spent his early years hunting down questionable fansubs on dial-up, reading all the gay comics he could find, and experimenting with fashion ranging from gender-ambiguous goth to sporty femmeboy. Their exploration of gender over the years has been fairly public, as they began writing the column "Queering SFF" for Tor.com in 2010 at the age of nineteen. More than a decade later, he's best described as a gender-nonconforming guy, but "genderqueer" is a word that still has a warm place in his heart. (And as for sexuality, let's just toss our hands up and say "predominantly gay, but open to whatever.")
Their short fiction has been featured in multiple magazines and anthologies, as well as being reprinted in collections such as Transcendent 2: The Year's Best Transgender Speculative Fiction, ed. Bogi Takacs, winner of the 2018 Lambda Award for Transgender Fiction. In terms of criticism and nonfiction, Lee is a regular contributor to Tor.com as well—not just the QSFF series, but also book reviews, essay cycles like "Safe as Life: A Four-Part Essay on Maggie Stiefvater's Raven Cycle," and more. Once in a blue moon, they appear as a speaker for events such as for the lecture series Out to Lunch at the University of Connecticut.
As for his academic career, Lee has pursued degrees in English and Contemporary Literature, including on a Master's granted on fellowship to the University of Liverpool in 2014. After a five-year stint holding traditional jobs ranging from distance education to law, they returned to the world of scholarship to pursue a Ph.D. in Gender & Women's Studies at the University of Kentucky with research focused on queer theory, sexuality, and transgender masculinities. During the course of the program, they've also been awarded the Wimberly C. Royster Graduate Excellence Awards in Arts and Sciences grant.
Splitting time between prose work, teaching courses on gender and power, and engaging with as many queer materials possible from contemporary visual art to horny fanfiction, their daily life in Louisville involves a fair amount of reading-induced eye strain. While he enjoys visiting bigger cities like Chicago as often as possible, for the Culture, there's something about Kentucky that always pulls him back: chosen family, or the trees and hills, or the vibrant small communities of writers, or all of the above. Favored hobbies include cooking, petting dogs, taking too many photos, and lifting weights—plus attending local drag shows and LGBTQ+ community events.

English Sports Cars in a world of sports cars
Home / English Sports Cars in a world of sports cars
Click HERE or BACK to return to English Sports Car prints
Sports cars originated in Europe in the early 1900s and are currently produced by many manufacturers around the world but the term 'sports car' would not be coined until after World War One.
"The term sports car is a vague one. Yes, they need to be fast, have a vivacious engine and be engaging when you want to enjoy yourself, but there are so many niches within the term. You have some which are so focused on the sports element that they resemble stripped out track cars made for the road, while others are lovingly crafted and place comfort and luxury above the traditional callings of a sports car. Even how they deliver their thrills are different, with some manufacturers making the engine the shining star, while others focus on balancing and fine-tuning to make the cars shine when the road gets twisty. Regardless of the approach, we have done the tough job of crafting a list of the best ten sports cars currently on sale to help you decide".
With these words Autocar magazine introduced its selection of the 10 best sports cars in 2018. These words could almost apply to the 12 cars chosen over 50 years ago which you can see here. With one exception the manufacturers all those years ago are different, but the spirit behind the vehicles remains the same. The Autocar list included cars made by 3 English manufacturers and one, Morgan, was in both. [The cars chosen by Autocar in 2020 were the Porsche 911 Carreras and Carrera 4S, Jaguar F-Type, Lotus Evora, Chevrolet Corvette, BMW i8, Nissan GT-R, Lexus LC, Maserati Gran Turismo, Morgan Plus 6 and Alfa Romeo 4C. The list excluded : Caterham Sevens, Ferrari 488s, Alpine A110s and BMW M cars].
The prints were drawn by George A. Oliver (1920-1990) a graduate of Glasgow School of Art, a professional photographer and an important illustrator and writer on automobiles and their history.

Our German Partnership
In a unique development, two forward thinking and innovative law firms, Berry Smith LLP, based in Cardiff, and Leipzig based GRUENDELPARTNER, have combined their resources and formed a new collaborative partnership.
Andrew Bound and Steffen Fritzsche, partners at Berry Smith and GRUENDELPARTNER, respectively, met in Cardiff to formalise the partnership agreement.
This new concept will provide a one-stop-shop approach for UK clients looking to deal in Germany and German companies operating in the UK.
Based on the existing links between the two firms and "bucking the trend" of what has been happening in Europe since Brexit, they have formalised the arrangement that has been apparent in joint corporate and commercial projects between them since 2012, providing commercial and legal advice in both countries.
In the last ten years, Berry Smith has seen a significant increase in the amount of international work undertaken, working with companies based in the UK whose ownership is spread over many countries throughout the world. Many of the transactions involved an international element and establishing a network of lawyers in local jurisdictions
Andrew Bound explained, "It was through working on such a transaction that Berry Smith and GRUENDELPARTNER first met and for the last five years we have worked together extensively on a series of transactions."
Through the experience of working together close links developed and it was quickly discovered that both firms had the same client focus, proactive approach and ethos.
Steffen Fritzsche commented "Berry Smith has become our highly reliable and trusted partner for cross-border business between the UK and Germany. We have been working on a range of matters including transactions, commercial contracts, litigation and corporate financing"
After all the years knowing each other and working together it appeared to be a logical step to deepen and formalize the co-operation in order to achieve seamless cross-border legal advice.
"Berry Smith and GRUENDELPARTNER can now provide a one-stop, integrated legal service for businesses that currently trade between Britain and Germany and those that wish to" explained Steffen Fritzsche.
Developing joint projects and strategies in the UK/German market will provide additional service quality for our clients. Berry Smith and GRUENDELPARTNER are very comparable law firms in terms of structure and client base with a similar approach to quality and trust for our clients
Andrew Bound confirmed that "the establishment of our dedicated team to provide these services is the attractive solution for our growing international client base. We have already seen the benefits of this association that has been in place for several years and which are now looking to roll out to a larger audience."
These two law firms have taken a very positive step and are looking to foster trade between the UK and Germany, working with existing clients who work in the other firm's jurisdiction but also looking to build upon their client bases given their sector and geographical, jurisdictional expertise.
With the future looking potentially uncertain for many companies and organisations in Europe, Berry Smith and GRUENDELPARTNER are taking a bold and positive step into the future with this exciting collaboration.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate passed its version of the farm bill, the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, on a strong bipartisan 86-11 vote June 28.
The bill, which would be in effect through fiscal year 2023, makes few changes to existing farm and nutrition assistance programs. That contrasts to the House bill, meaning the conference committee meetings could be tense.
"Today marks an important day for farm country. We are one step closer to providing farmers and ranchers a Farm Bill with the certainty and predictability they deserve," said U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kan.
The versions of the bill passed by the Senate and House of Representatives will now go to the Joint Conference Committee, which will address the differences and agree on a final bill. The current farm bill expires Sept. 30, 2018.
Speaking on the Senate floor several hours before the vote, Roberts had exhorted his colleagues to support an immediate vote.
From Ohio, Senators Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman both voted for the farm bill, as did Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., and both West Virginia senators, Republican Shelley Moore Capito and Democrat Joe Manchin. Pennsylvania's Republican senator, Pat Toomey, voted against the bill.
On the food stamp front, the two sides are likely to clash in the conference committee.
The House bill tightens work requirements for recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. Currently, able-bodied adults ages 18-49 without children are required to work 20 hours a week to maintain their benefits. The bill raises the top age of recipients subject to work requirements from 49 to 59 and requires parents with children older than 6 to work or participate in job training.
Passage of the measure was delayed by a battle over an amendment from Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., barring U.S. taxpayer funds from being spent on businesses owned by the Cuban military. The Senate adopted Rubio's amendment.
The Senate bill also includes a provision from Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., that would legalize the production of industrial hemp.
There was a separate vote on an amendment that would've imposed new requirements for farm commodity checkoff boards. That amendment, offered by Senators Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Cory Booker, D-N.J., failed on a 38-57 vote.
The Senate version of the farm bill also contains enhancements to the dairy Margin Protection Program (MPP), including improved coverage levels and greater program flexibility. The bill, which renames the MPP as the "Dairy Risk Coverage" program, raises the maximum covered margin to $9/cwt. and adjusts the minimum percentage of milk that can be insured.
The Senate bill included an amendment by Ohio's two senators that would assist Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio. The amendment that would increase the amount of formula funding that Central State will be able to receive from USDA, while not jeopardizing the funding of any other schools. Central State was granted land grant status in the 2014 farm bill.

It is to all those INTERNET activists who are criticizing The father - Mr Phogat for all the atrocities towards his daughters and imposing his dreams on them in the movie – Dangal; before speaking a word about it and make an opinion, first go and talk to those girls what do they consider their father as today; whether they praise or criticize their father to make them what they are- girls with name, fame and financial independence.
All those who have time to spend hours on social media to post and tweet, but send maggie in their children's tiffin, don't have even 1hr for their kids in a day and are unable to play the role of a parent in their kid's life coz they don't have time for it, there is a man in the village of Haryana who is not only a strong and supportive father for his daughters but also a perfect and dedicated GURU. A man who worked so hard for his daughters that his 'tapasya' has given them success which has crossed international boundaries.
I am not writing this coz I am a 'Haryana ki chori' too and have deep roots there, but to convey that this is what makes parents what they are: dreaming/deciding on behalf of their children. As a parent, I feel it's important for you to guide and make your kids understand his /her potential.
I think Mahavir Singh Phogat did a tremendous job against all objections from the community and in the lack of finances, making his daughters strong & independent and that too in a country like India, where girl infants are left to die in dustbins and cartons. He is no different from any other parent who wanted to put their children into medicine, law, teaching or getting married.
To conclude this, I must say to all young minds out there that behind every young child who believes in himself, there is a parent who believed first and to all lovely parents that your children need your presence more than your presents.
For now, you go enjoy the movie! Mr Amir enjoys the box office performance & Mr Phogat and his daughters enjoy their stardom and glory!


When working in Photoshop or Illustrator, you have the option to set your document's colour mode to CMYK or RGB. There are some other colour modes, but CMYK and RGB are the two you really need to know about.
CMYK is the standard colour mode for sending documents – whether it's a magazine, newspaper, flyer, brochure, annual report and so on – to the printer. It stands for cyan, magenta, yellow and key.
'Key' in this instance means black. It's referred to as key because in four-colour printing, cyan, magenta and yellow printing plates are carefully keyed, or aligned, with the key of the black key plate.
RGB stands for red, green, blue, and is used for screen output. Because CMYK has a more limited colour gamut than RGB (which is essentially what the eye sees and how screens output) you can experience a loss of colour when converting from RGB to CMYK in these applications.


This coming week MARINA Lab and the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs will host a special guest lecture from Professor Ussif Rashid Sumaila, who will speak on his cutting-edge bioeconomic research around the future of high seas management.
Professor Sumaila's talk is titled "Effective high seas management is necessary for the sustainability of the global ocean," but Professor Allison notes that, "behind this innocuous title is a bold proposition to make the entire ocean beyond areas of national jurisdiction a giant marine protected area, closed to fisheries, and potentially to other economic activities too (such as deep-sea hydrothermal vent mining)." He adds that, "The original economic proposition has been enlarged to consider the effects of such closure on climate resilience of the oceans and nutrition security of coastal and island nations."
Dr. Sumaila is Professor and Director of the Fisheries Economics Research Unit at the University of British Columbia. He received his Ph.D. from Bergen University, Norway, and holds a B.Sc. with honors from Ahmadu Bello University, Nigeria. Dr. Sumaila is deeply interested in how economics, through integration with ecology and other disciplines, can be used to help ensure that ocean resources are sustainably managed for the benefit of both current and future generations. He specializes in bioeconomics, marine ecosystem valuation and the analysis of global issues such as fisheries subsidies, IUU (illegal, unreported and unregulated) fishing and the economics of high and deep seas fisheries. Sumaila has experience working in fisheries and natural resource projects in Norway, Canada and the North Atlantic region, Namibia and the Southern African region, Ghana and the West African region and Hong Kong and the South China Sea.
Dr. Sumaila has earned many prestigious awards in the course of his career including the just announced 2017 Excellence in Science Award by the Peter Benchley Ocean Award.

Chester Bennington Was Excited About Returning to Metal, Says Mark Morton! Sunday February 10 2019, 3:30 AM
During a conversation with Loudwire, Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton talked about collaborating with Linkin Park's Chester Bennington on his upcoming solo album "Anesthetic."
The musician said working with Chester on the "Cross Off" track:
"We instantly hit it off on a creative level. I really didn't know Chester before we started doing this song.
"We had a real creative rhythm right away. You can't really plan on that, you can't bet on it, you can't buy it, you can't fake it. You either vibe with someone or you don't.
"He didn't have to be there, he didn't have to come to record a song with the guitar player from Lamb of God.
"He did it because he loved the tune and because he was excited about screaming again and being on something more metal, a little heavier."
Discussing the album, Mark said:
"I'm always trying to push what [Lamb of God] can get away with, stylistically, but within limits. I have four other bandmates that keep that restrained.
"With this project, I was off the leash, I could do whatever I wanted. I don't know that I did really control it, I think it's all over the map."
You can check out "Cross Off" in the embedded player below.

Since Christmas is just round the corner, I'm going to share with everyone a really super simple Christmas bake that is going to make such a good treat for your guests!
I know I know, I'm always saying simple and easy in my recipe. Haha. But this is really.. SIMPLE! lol! I think I need to use thesaurus soon.
2 small apples, sliced thinly.
1. Preheat oven to 200 degree Celsius. Grease a 7'' pie tray (can always use a disposable aluminium tray if you don't have a proper pie tray! ^^).
2. Mix grated coconut, flour and sugar together. Mix oil and eggs before pouring into the batter. Mix everything together.
3. Pour the batter into the grease tray. Arrange the sliced apples on top of the batter.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 min or until done.
Don't you agree this is so simple?!
By the way, when the pie came out of the oven do expect a super flavourful smell of coconut! Love it!
I think if you're a fan of coconut, you need to try this!
Can you see all the grated coconut from this photo?

It's been quite a few solid months of people getting to know the new BMW 5 Series and the Bavarian excellence it stands for.
During this time, most of the people interested in it realized they still can't quite afford it, so turning their attention to the BMW 3 Series seems pretty appropriate.
Even though the BMW 3 Series is getting a lot of attention, stands at a prime spot in sales and is an excellent drive it is pretty old in conception and it's nearing the end of its life.
We're now expecting the new BMW 3 Series to be closer to a launch, but odds are it's not really coming until next year and we're still stuck with looking at camouflaged appearances.
The good news on this front is that the 2012 BMW 3 Series started making some appearances of a more revealing presence and it seems there's a lot of good news coming our way.
Unlike the previous BMW 3 Series, we're now actually getting what looks like a mini 2011 BMW 5 series. That is very good on pretty much all fronts.
If the 2012 BMW 3 Series gets to the point where it's just a smaller car but with all the goodness of it's big brother you simply can't do better than that.
There's word on the 2.0 liter turbo four making an appearance in the lineup and possibly a hybrid version but let's focus on the big point at hand, buying a 3 Series simply means downsizing an excellent BMW and not downgrading it at the same time.


As the old saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child. This is still true today. The name Meitheal comes from an old Irish word that describes how neighbours get together to give each other practical help and support.
Meitheal is a way of working with children and their families to identify and respond to their strengths and needs in a timely way.
Meithal brings together people and services who want to support a child or parent so that he or she can make the changes to their life that they want and need.
The kinds of services that might be involved in Meitheal are schools, youth services, family resource centres and medical services.
If you feel that your child has additional needs of is facing challenges that are difficult to overcome, Meitheal may be able to help you.
You may already be getting support from different services but finding it difficult to deal with all of them at once. Meitheal brings everyone together. Your family will have a supportive person called a lead practitioner. This person may be chosen by you. Your lead practitioner will help you and your child to identify your child's strengths and needs.
The next step is your lead practitioner will arrange a Meitheal support meeting where you and your child will help to put a plan in place. Everybody will support you to follow your plan to make the changes you and your child wants in their life.
It is very important that you, your family and your child understand every part of the plan.
You, your child and your family will decide how long you want this support for.
My son is more settled now. I feel that all my concerns as a parent were listened to and we were included in all decisions.
Everyone's on the same wavelength – I'm not having to relay back … Everyone sits at a table and we're all on the same page.


How do I become fluent in English?
How can I speak English fluently? An answer to this question comes from information processing theory. This theory says that language learning is a skill like any other.
To be successful at that skill, we first need 'declarative knowledge'. Think of declarative knowledge as 'knowledge that': for example, 'I know that the regular past tense in English is made by adding "-ed" to the end of the verb'. To communicate, however, we also need 'procedural knowledge'. Procedural knowledge is 'knowledge how': for example, 'I know how to use the past tense when I'm speaking'. To speak a language fluently, we also need 'automatic knowledge'. For example, to talk easily about what we did last weekend, we need to be able to automatically use the past tense, without stopping to think about it.
Cognitive research shows that students can move quickly from the declarative stage to the procedural stage: you only need to try out the rule about the past tense a few times to understand how to use it. Soon, you have memorised language chunks like 'I played football' and 'He watched TV'. However, it takes a lot more time to reach the automatic stage. The key to automatic knowledge is practice: you need to use the language a large number of times. This partly explains why it takes a long time to become fluent in a language, however there are ways that English lessons can make this process faster and more accurate.
An effective way to gain declarative knowledge is to study language in context, such as a listening or reading text with lots of examples of the past simple. This makes it easier to understand the meaning of the grammar or vocabulary being studied. The teacher should also explain to you the structure and pronunciation of the language, and when to use it (for example, if it is formal or informal). To gain procedural knowledge, you should then practise using the language in focused activities, and the teacher should give you feedback on any errors you have made. Automatic knowledge cannot be acquired in only one lesson: you need many opportunities to practise the language in different lessons, and plenty of input to refine your declarative and procedural knowledge. Over time, this will gradually reduce your conscious effort, processing speed and number of errors, leading to greater fluency.
Another important point to consider is that procedural knowledge is specific and difficult to transfer. For example, students who know how to use the past simple in writing activities won't necessarily know how to use it effectively in conversation until they practise it in speaking activities. But if your teacher gives you lots of reading, listening, speaking and writing practice, it is possible to become competent in the skill of speaking English.

On DVD: The Curse of La Llorona
Nick Rogers August 6, 2019 August 5, 2019
Be good or she will find you … and keep you. So goes Latin American lore of La Llorona, the Weeping Woman who plunged her kids' heads underwater in a pique of rage — killing them, driving herself mad and condemning her spirit to a cursed afterlife of collecting children's souls.
Like many cultural bogeymen (or bogeywomen), La Llorona's spooky story is best told in the dark by loved ones acutely aware of how to get under your skin — to get you to behave … or be whisked away. Specifically tweaked scares are always scarier than genericized, if craftily composed, folkloric frightshows like The Curse of La Llorona — the latest, and most distantly related, installment in the Conjuring cinematic universe which is now on Blu-ray and VOD.
Rarely terrifying or terribly well made, the Conjuring films nevertheless make bank on modest investments; La Llorona mustered $125 million worldwide on a $9 million budget. And of all the offshoot filmmakers besides the franchise's main man James Wan, La Llorona's director, Michael Chaves, is a promising choice to take over the flagship with The Conjuring 3 next year.
After La Llorona's expository prologue in 1673 Mexico, the film jumps forward 300 years to Los Angeles where Chaves mirrors hyperspeed moves that have become Wan's trademark. It takes a while, but Chaves finds his own visual groove, a texture that feels more Zodiacal than maniacal in its supernatural omniscience. There's something more diabolical than particulates hovering in the haze of L.A. where social worker Anna Tate-Garcia (Linda Cardellini) saves two children from death at the hands of their mother, Patricia (Patricia Velasquez)… or does she?
The kids mysteriously turn up dead, whisked away from protective custody and drowned in the L.A. River. Patricia is charged for their murders, but she speaks in mortified whispers of La Llorona — from whom she claims to have been protecting her sons and whose wrath Anna's interference unleashed on her own two kids, whom she's raising alone.
La Llorona leaves burn marks with the slightest touch, so it's not long before Anna comes under suspicion of abuse herself. To vanquish La Llorona from their lives, Anna seeks help from both a Catholic priest (Tony Amendola, reprising his Annabelle role) and a sharp-tongued curandero shaman given weathered, wily and witty life from Raymond Cruz of Breaking Bad. (There's also an amusing moment in which Anna unexpectedly gets the customer-service yo-yo with the two.)
Much like Annabelle Comes Home, period authenticity is among La Llorona's more persuasive elements — evocations of time past and a sinister sizzle reel for production designer Melanie Jones and set decorator Sandra Skora. Also like that movie, the R rating feels like a marketing tactic for teens to feel cool for finally being old enough to watch one of these on their own. There's nothing funky, gnarly or gory here, just a lot of telegraphed terror across two acts.
At least Chaves ramps up Spielbergian flair for the finish with a spookhouse run that actually generates more playful malevolence than perfunctory motion. Of course, it helps that the Blu-ray's Dolby Atmos 7.1 mix makes it sound like La Llorona is opening hell beneath your home. The Atmos channels envelop you in overhead thuds and bumps, pouring rain and roaring wind as well as whisper-subtle specifics of soundfield play like swinging doors and dripping water. The visual transfer is also excellent, transferring the many inky shadows expertly as well as the glint of La Llorona's ropy, black ectoplasmic tears scraped off the ground.
Extras include several deleted or extended scenes, totalling 11 minutes and all best left on the cutting-room floor (especially another overt nod to the Conjuring crew). Featurettes are skimpy, with "The Myth of La Llorona" and "Behind the Curse" covering largely the same territory. "The Making of a Movie Monster" is the finest of them, showcasing the creative, culturally sensitive and time-consuming process to transform actress Marisol Ramirez into La Llorona.
Their work is practical and impressive. Too bad that under these circumstances, you don't fear the weeper.

JSF's "Eating Animals" should be mandatory reading for all carnivores — and for vegans who would like help in explaining themselves.
Insufferable, your little autobiography here struck a chord with The Beet-Eating Heeb (it surprises people to learn that beets have chords), as BEH (acronym) is about to join you in the blogosphere. In exactly five days.
It is. I do more or less exactly the above and only expand upon my veganism in response to direct questioning. Additionally, when questioned directly, I make it clear that I only apply my reasoning for being vegan ("Being vegan is so easy that not being vegan is unacceptably selfish" to put it succinctly) to myself and not to anyone else. And, because of all that, my friends and acquaintances all seem to be of the opinion that I am not insufferable.
However, I do think that there's wiggle room in-between the "insufferable" line (which I don't want to cross because I think it would make me a bad 'vegan ambassador' and be counter-productive to the furtherance of veganism in the world by rendering me [and by association, veganism] easier to dismiss) and my current mode of behavior where I could be slightly less sufferable and further veganism without cutting my legs out from under me. The challenge is moving into that wiggle room.
I'm actually an "omni" but I've found it less and less justifiable to support our current (sometimes willful) ignorance about how food animals are treated.
I'm not disgusted by meat, dairy, eggs, honey, etc. but passing a wall of gallons of milk in the grocery store will remind me of how dairy cows are treated. Once you know, you can never forget.
I will probably never call myself vegan even if I cut out animal products 100%. Many vegans are possessive about the word. Also, "animal liberation" and "speciesim"-esque types of thought are tied with vegan subculture. I'm not interested in ideology but the truth is: there is no possible way that animals cannot suffer with our current demand for animal products. We must transition to a plant-based society. There are also very cool foods and textiles that come from plants that we aren't looking into!
When it comes to bugs, seafood, shearing wool, etc. I'm not sure. Maybe I'm making excuses because I love honey, albacore, and wool knits (probably).
Just discovered your blog. Look forward to exploring it!

Q: Cordova | 'www' is restored when 'cordova build' of 'cordova run android' Here is the tutorial which I am following.
http://ccoenraets.github.io/cordova-tutorial/setup-files.html

I've done 1 to 4 steps in Module 3: Setting Up the Workshop Files.
The problem is number 5. I typed the cordova build and cordova run android exactly same as prev page. The copied contents in www folder are restored when I type those commands.
The index.html prev image is fine right after copying the contents of starter-www however they restore as initial.
Here is the initial index.html code.
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no" />
    <meta name="msapplication-tap-highlight" content="no" />

    <meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, width=device-width, height=device-height, target-densitydpi=device-dpi" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/index.css" />
    <title>Hello World</title>

Apache Cordova

Connecting to Device

Device is Ready

I didn't get any error but why did it restore automatically? Did i miss something?
Does anyone have same experience?

A: If you have modified something within the platform specific assets/www folder then it will be re-generated on each Cordova build
So as you said: C:\dev\plz\workshop\platforms\android\assets\www (path).  If you modified any file inside this location then it will be re-generated each time.
In order to create a new project, use below command:

*

*cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld
Now it should have created a folder with name hello, go inside the folder

*

*cd hello
Here you can see the www folder that is a common place for the code. Whatever you place here will be generated for all your specified platforms. So in your case, you copy all those files inside this folder i.e. hello/www

After that, add your desired platform, for example:

*

*cordova platform add android
Now you can issue the build command

*

*cordova build
and to run on device. Note device should be connected already in order to work.

*

*cordova run android
Here you can see full list of commands
