'Iron Fist's Jessica Henwick Posts Goodbye Video
By JK Schmidt - October 16, 2018 08:32 am EDT
Two seasons of Fist, one Defenders, and a Cage later... thank you to the cast, crew and fans for this journey. Playing Colleen changed my life. -- also just posted a full BTS video from season 1 on my link! ? #IronFist. #ColleenWing @finnjones @jessicalstroup @tommypelphrey @simonemissick @giulliang @rosariodawson!! @sacha_dhawan @rodriguezramon
A post shared by Jessica Henwick (@jhenwick) on Oct 13, 2018 at 6:29pm PDT
Netflix and Marvel Television dropped a bombshell on fans when they announced the cancellation of Iron Fist, just one month after the premiere of the second season on the streaming platform.
Series star Jessica Henwick, who plays fan-favorite character Colleen Wing, addressed the series being cancelled on social media with a touching video taking people behind the scenes of the show.
Though the first season of Iron Fist was not well received among fans, the second season received praise for its improvement in quality. It also ended on a surprising note, with Henwick's character becoming the new Iron Fist while Danny Rand went on a quest to track down the other Immortal Weapons.
But that wasn't enough for Netflix and Marvel's parent company Disney, who announced the cancellation in a joint statement.
"Marvel's Iron Fist will not return for a third season on Netflix," the statement said. "Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is proud of the series and grateful for all of the hard work from our incredible cast, crew and showrunners ... We're thankful to the fans who have watched these two seasons, and for the partnership we've shared on this series. While the series on Netflix has ended, the immortal Iron Fist will live on."
Danny Rand actor Finn Jones also issued a statement on social media, being thankful for his time on the Netflix series.
"I have an enormous amount of love and respect for everyone involved with the last two seasons of this show," Jones wrote. "Defending the greatest city in the world amongst the most talented and warmest people has been a privilege and a joy. Blessed to have taken this journey and grateful for the ongoing support."
Season 2 showrunner Raven Metzner posted his own statement, echoing the sentiments of the cast.
"Thank you to all the people who made S2 of Iron Fist possible," he wrote. "From top to bottom one of the best creative experiences of my life. While this series is done, the story lives on in the MCU where Danny, Colleen, Davos, Ward, Joy, Misty and Typhoid Mary still fight the good fight. It has been a great pleasure and honor to be a part of this chapter in their adventures."
Some fans have questions over whether the Iron Fist will appear in a future series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and according to a recent report, that's entirely possible. Unfortunately, the solo series has come to an end.

Note: analysis based on my Behavioral Orchestration and Analysis framework explained here.
Participants tasted two cups of coffee, decided which they preferred, and then rated each coffee. They were told (in lure) that one of the cups contained "eco-friendly" coffee while the other did not, although the two cups contained identical coffee. In Experiments 1 and 3, but not in Experiment 2, the participants were also told which cup contained which type of coffee before they tasted. The participants preferred the taste of, and were willing to pay more for, the "eco-friendly" coffee, at least those who scored high on a questionnaire on attitudes toward sustainable consumer behavior (Experiment 1). High sustainability consumers were also willing to pay more for "eco-friendly" coffee, even when they were told, after their decision, that they preferred the non-labeled alternative (Experiment 2). Moreover, the eco-label effect does not appear to be a consequence of social desirability, as participants were just as biased when reporting the taste estimates and willingness to pay anonymously (Experiment 3). Eco labels not only promote a willingness to pay more for the product but also lead to a more favorable perceptual experience of it.


BGU 122G, my 1968 Rover P5B Coupe. I bought this car 4-years ago, having always loved the shape of the Rover P5 and P5B, especially the Coupe. The car was a long-way from perfect, having had very little use for the last 20 years apart from trips to the MOT station. The car has averaged only 90 miles per year over that period!
Whilst most things worked and the car was usable and roadworthy (just), every system was corroded, seized, poorly maintained or else just untouched over this period. There is also some rust, but nothing that can't be fixed. So I drove the car for a year, then took it off the road to renovate / re-condition it properly. Restoration would be an overstatement – I want the car to be reliable, original and presentable, but not too perfect that I worry about driving it. So thats the journey I'm on, and will be for as long as I keep the car (which is probably a long time – I've owned an Alfa 105 coupe for 15 years, so you can see I don't like selling cars).
I don't currently have a garage at home, so I keep the car and work on it in a rented garage which has no electricity. Things are somewhat constrained by that, but hopefully I can show whats possible by an 'enthusiastic amateur'. You'll see me learning as I go, making numerous mistakes along the way.


It's that time of year again! Very excited to be participating in the End of Year Book Survey, created by Jamie, for the fifth time (if you are unaware of this year -- click this link right here -- because it is so much fun & I adore filling it out every year). As the year comes to a close, it's a good time to reflect back on all the books I've read. This survey is a great way to get organized and share my thoughts on all things read in 2014!
Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins -- as for contemporary YA, this book had me reading late into the night, dying to know how it all ends.
The Devil You Know by Trish Doller -- very excited to read the finished product in 2015.
Emily from Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson -- her strong character growth in this novel left a very permanent mark on my memory.
Fixing Delilah by Sarah Ockler -- her style of writing is a type of beauty that sneaks up on you, one that is hard to turn away from, only wanting more more more.
99 Days by Katie Cotugno -- this topic was hard to digest in general (cheating), but the way it was presented really had me thinking A LOT about the characters involved and their actions. I couldn't get this story out of my heads for days.
99 Days by Katie Cotugno -- even though I was furious with this book at times, it left SUCH a lasting impression on me, and THAT is the true power of literature.
I participated in Tiffany Schmidt's BRIGHT BEFORE SUNRISE book launch by posting my "One Night" story. The responses I got touched me deeper than I expected. I even formed a life long pen pal through the experience (looking at you, Sarah Combs!). Read my "One Night" story that changed my life here.
I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in the On the Same Page Secret Sister event since August. I signed up to receive a "secret sister" who I would send encouraging, thoughtful mementos to in the mail. I have enjoyed spreading the love to her world immensely! I have also LOVED receiving the generous gifts from my secret sister as well. The concept behind this wonderful event is so touching and so needed.
Reaching my 4 year blogoversary was pretty spectacular! Read the post here.
Sweet Summertimes Reads Roadtrip With Jen (From Canada!) -- I loved every guest post from this summer-long feature of mine, but this one in particular really stood out to me. Everything about this blog post screams a summer YA novel & I just adored it!
I found this blog post from Hannah at So Obsessed With on getting your goodreads shelves organized to be so helpful! Best discovery by far this year.
I completed my goal of reading 50 books this year on goodreads, and have actually gone past it now. I've also branched out to reading more fantasy YA, that I hope to continue in 2015, too.
I say this every year, but it still remains true... I hope to continue ENJOYING this. The purpose behind this blog is for me connect with other readers and discuss all things bookish. I always want to keep it fun and enjoyable, never losing sight of that.
6. A 2015 Release You've Already Read & Recommend To Everyone?
Such a great list of books. I've added most of the ones I have not read to my ever growing tbr! I am really looking forward to Things We Know by Heart.
Awww, you read Devil in Winter. I love that book! It has such a special place in my heart. Have you ever read Julia Quinn??
I'm so excited to see Shotgun Lovesongs on your survey - it was on my Best Debuts of 2014 and overall Best of 14 lists and I feel like it didn't get a ton of play around the blogs...so I'm always happy when I do see it mentioned!
Aha! I agree! I loved 99 DAYS but I wanted to hit my head into a wall sometimes.
I read Graceling a few years ago and I was blown away by how amazing the world building was in it. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it THAT much! Sorry for deleting the previous comment, it wasn't showing up the way I wanted. I know, such a perfectionist lol.
Isla and the Happily Ever After was pretty fantastic. The ending was spectacular! I can't wait to see what Stephanie Perkins writes next.
Thank you so much for including me/my blog, G! That means so much! And you'll be happy to know I got Fixing Delilah for Christmas - every time I look at it I think of you. :) Can't wait to read it!

Falkirk families to get £30 compo after thousands go days without gas in cold snap
Around 8,000 properties were left without supplies in the area as temperature plummeted to as low as -4C on Sunday.

Residents in central Scotland are to be given just £30 in compensation after being left without with gas during some of the coldest days of the year so far.
Around 8,000 properties in the Falkirk area cut off as temperatures plummeted to as low as -4C on Sunday.
Gas network company SGN have been working to restore supplies to homes.
Properties in Carronshore, Larbert, Skinflats and Stenhousemuir were affected.

Engineers have since been able to reconnect gas to more than 5,000 homes.
The company has now confirmed that customers will be compensated £30 per household for each complete 24-hour period they were affected.
A spokesperson for SGN said: "With support from engineers from right across the UK , we've now reconnected gas to more than 5,000 homes.
"If you're not in when we call to turn your supply back on, please don't worry. We'll leave our details and come back to visit you again as soon as we can.
"We're being supported by our local authority partners to ensure that we're able to get gas supplies onto the most vulnerable households as a priority.
"Thank you to all our partners in the local community for the help you're giving both us and affected residents.
"You will receive compensation for the time you were without your gas supply, as agreed with the energy regulator Ofgem .
"If you're without gas for over 24 hours, you will receive compensation per household for each complete 24-hour period you had no gas.
"This compensation is paid through your supply and will appear as a credit on your next bill."
Some residents went to desperate means to heat up their families, including one mum-of-three who told the Daily Record that she was sheltering her kids around the heater in her car.
Electric heaters and hot plates were also being distributed by SGN to residents at the Camelon Education Centre in Falkirk.
SGN say they have now restored gas at more than 5,000 homes in the Falkirk area (Image: PA)

The gas network company added that it would compensate customers as a 'gesture of goodwill' for the additional electricity used to power the devices.
SGN's statement adds: "In recognition of the severe weather that occurred in the first 24 hours of this incident and the additional electric you may have used to heat your home, we would also like to compensate you with an additional payment of £30 as a gesture of goodwill.
"This will be paid along with the above through your gas supplier."
Falkirk Council announced that 14 schools and nurseries closed due to the mass outage.
The majority of the schools were reopened to pupils and students today.

8). the cells so as to define the mechanism of tolerance among PI-Treg cells. As shown previously [16], STAT3 and STAT5 were similarly activated in both naive and tolerant cells (Fig. 1A). Immunoblotting for activated MAP kinases, however, revealed major differences between naive Tg4 and PI-Treg cells. Both ERK and JNK activation were significantly suppressed in PI-Treg cells. This alone would account for the anergic phenotype of PI-Treg cells, characterized by their lack of IL-2 production. EMSA assays were conducted to measure the activation of transcription factors including NF-B, NFAT and AP-1 (Fig. 1B). As expected, the suppression of MAP kinase signaling resulted in almost complete prevention of AP-1 activation. Furthermore, evidence that this calcium-driven activation of calcineurin was markedly reduced came from experiments showing inhibition of NFAT activation. The inhibition of NFAT activation was confirmed by EMSA ELISA assays (Fig. 1C). EMSA experiments also showed that NF-B activation was reduced (Fig. 1B), and again this result was confirmed by ELISA (data not shown). These results reveal a fundamental alteration in TCR proximal signaling in PI-Treg cells affecting MAP kinase-, PKC- and calcium-driven pathways. We can conclude that this inhibition of IL-2 transcription in PI-Treg cells arises from suppression of mitogenic signaling pathways including NF-B, NFAT and AP-1. Open in a separate window Physique 1 Differential activation of cytokine and T cell receptor signaling pathways in naive and PI-Treg cells. Total CD4+ T cells were isolated from splenocytes of naive or tolerant mice before or 2 h after intranasal stimulation with Ac1-9[4Y]. (A) JUN Activation of STAT and MAP kinases was assessed by immunoblotting with phospho-specific antibodies as indicated. Abundance of STAT3, STAT5, ERK and JNK was quantified by specific antisera for equal loading of protein. Nuclear extracts were analyzed by EMSA (B) using 32P-labeled probes for NFAT, NF-B, AP-1 and Oct-1 or by ELISA for NFAT (C). The results shown are representative of three individual experiments. Gene expression profiles of naive Tg4 and PI-Treg cells following antigenic stimulation and and CD4 cells purified at the 2-h time point. Gene expression among activated naive Tg4 cells (N2), resting tolerant cells (T0) and activated tolerant cells (T2) was assessed. Expressed genes were identified when they displayed a 1.5-fold increase compared to naive Tg4 (N0) cells. Expression of 430 genes was up-regulated in naive cells following activation while the expression of these genes was suppressed in PI-Treg cells (Fig. 2A, B). Also, 111 genes were induced at comparable levels in both activated Tg4 (N2) and PI-Treg (T2) cells. A further group of 70 genes was induced more strongly in PI-Treg (T2) cells, showing a greater than 1.5-fold higher level of expression than in activated naive (N2) cells. Genes with comparable expression profiles were clustered into several panels and the genes in these panels are listed in the supplementary Table LFM-A13 1. Genes induced in activated, naive cells included cytokines, chemokines and genes involved in cell cycle progression and proliferation. Genes selectively induced in PI-Treg cells included differentiation-related genes, transcription factors, cell surface molecules and signaling pathway-related molecules (supplementary Table 2 and 2a). The array experiment was repeated three times and this proved that this 70 genes associated with PI-Treg activation were robustly and reproducibly induced. Fourteen genes of interest (CCL4, IL-10, T-bet, Egr-2, Caspase-11, Tlr-2, Irf-1, Ube21, ICOS, GzmB, p55PIK, CIS, Mitf, Gp49b) were evaluated by semiquantitative PCR in order to validate the microarray data, and in each case, we were able to confirm their expression in antigen-stimulated PI-Treg cells (Fig. 2 C and see supplementary Table 3). Furthermore, a similar expression profile of IL-2, IL-10, T-bet and Egr-2 was revealed by real-time PCR (Fig. 2D). Open in a separate window Physique 2 Transcription profile of global gene expression in LFM-A13 naive and PI-Treg cells LFM-A13 after antigenic stimulation.

Our group aims to teach French and Chinese,and to promote chinese and french culture between these two countries.
Courses of chinese language
Introduction of the teaching of chinese language: the teaching proceeds with the course of conversations and others on several levels:
Course of Chinese language N1,N2 et N3 (absolute beginner, beginner and intermediate)
The N1 course is designed for students who have never studied chinese. This is an introductory course in Chinese language, through learning Pinyin (alphabetic system and pronunciation), discovering the route of characters and learning simple syntax. The N2 and N3 course are the continuity of the N1 and develop the mastery of oral and written in chinese. Syntax, expression, comprehension and grammar are studied gradually in both levels.
Course of Chinese language N4,N5 et N6 (Advanced I, II, III)
Advanced courses I, II and III are for students who have already integrated the basic mechanisms of the Chinese language and who wish to complete their learning. Advanced courses I and II follow a grammatical method and insist on the expression and listening comprehension. Advanced Course III is moving towards improvement of the Chinese language. This course focuses on the exercise of theme. The expression and listening comprehension are also refined.
Conversation courses (intermediate / advanced)
It's long that the teaching of Chinese has neglected Chinese spoken in real situations. Speaking comprehension and expression are very important to understand a language and it is not enough when we just know how to write in a language; and more particularly as regards the Chinese language. Our conversation courses are for students who want to develop especially oral learning in order to communicate more easily. The courses are accessible to people with at least an intermediate level.
Course of Basic French language, French culture and civilization
D&D INTERNATIONAL is committed to the communication between chinese and french cultures and we create an opportunity for the exchange of chinese and french language. We have qualified teachers in oriental languages in France who have rich teaching experience of several years. We offer a special personalized service for chinese expatriates in France, allowing you to learn quickly the basic conversations in french daily life and to adapt to the new life and the new work environment.

Sources have confirmed that Dutch midfielder John Goossens has agreed to a contract with the club, although it appears that the deal hasn't been signed yet. That formality is keeping an official announcement from being made.
Goalkeeper Matt Lampson was announced as the team's 22nd signed player this morning and there will be more on the way. Arturo Alvarez is close to being done and the team is still pursuing help from outside of the league. While we wait for more signings, Martin Tomszak takes a look at the Portland Timbers.
Four-nil to Chicago! Fire fans beamed from ear to ear as the final whistle blew against their future MLS rival Minnesota United in Wednesday's Simple Invitational match. Questions arose about whether or not Veljko Paunovic has a Mourinho-esque buyout clause in his contract and where Section 8 should start building his statue. All jokes aside, the Fire put together another comprehensive win under their new system and Paunovic has instilled an aura of hope that hasn't been present in Chicago for almost a decade.
The Fire have one last test before the regular season and they could potentially be lifting a trophy on Saturday evening. The Simple Invitational concludes against the hosts, the Portland Timbers at 7pm Central Time on Chicago-Fire.com. This particular fixture has become a source of camaraderie in the stands between both sets of supporters but will it be the bearded, undercut, American spirit smoking, craft beer drinking, bike lane advocating, anti-fascism fans in green and gold celebrating, or will it be the bearded, undercut, American spirit smoking, craft beer drinking, bike lane advocating, anti-fascism fans in red and white?
Previous Match: A 2-0 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps.
Strengths: "Timbers' 2015 MLS Cup Championship Celebration set for March 6" could be seen on billboards and projectors around the stadium throughout the Simple Invitational and it is perhaps the best place to start our strengths section. We cannot forget that this Portland team lifted the coveted MLS Cup less than three months ago. More importantly, in a league where turnover is inevitable, Portland's championship winning side has stayed largely intact.
They saw the departure of just nine players, most of which found themselves out of the starting eleven or even on the periphery of the eighteen. Team regular Jorge Villafana was allowed to depart to fulfill his dreams of playing in Liga MX but his transfer fee provided ample Garber Bucks to find a replacement. Six players where brought in including promising youngster Chris Klute who Porter will no doubt attempt to mold into his system as he has done with countless other young players. Other notable acquisitions include reclamation projects, Ned Grabavoy who will be looking to bounce back from a strange season with NYCFC, and Jack McInerny who at the age of 23 is at his fourth club. Again with Porter's skill as a player manager these two could be surprise packages rather than lost causes and both fit perfectly as depth for pre-existing roles within the Timbers system.
The system itself is one that necessitates a second look. The Timbers and Chicago will both have similar tactics but Portland has utilized them since Porter's arrival. In fact, it is a system that he has utilized since his days at Akron and arguably got him his current job. The formations may differ slightly, Chicago's 4-2-3-1 vs. Portland's 4-3-3, but the style of play is the same. A highly organized defense based on high pressure, working on both sides of the ball, a high line, and impeccable communication is at the core of the system that saw the Timbers finish with the league's second best goals against average. Everyone took part in both offensive and defensive duties with the wingbacks making overlapping runs and the center backs playing active roles in most set pieces while the forwards are meant to close down in the final third when Portland is not in possession. The necessity to keep possession and continue the flow of the ball permeates the system as well with Diego Chara, Darlington Nagbe, and Diego Valeri taking on most of the creative duties.
All in all it is not only an effective system but fun to watch. Porter had this team ticking like a clock in the post-season and all indicators point to the same being true in 2016. Fanendo Adi seems to have convinced the Timbers Army his name is worth shouting with 16 league goals and if he needs a rest or has a dip in form there are others in tow. With Lucas Melano's virgin voyage in the past and vital lessons learned he should be chomping at the bit to justify his price tag and prove his worth. If he stumbles, Jack McInerney has proven he can contribute early on in stints with a new team. Ben Polk will also be eager to show his 12 goals in 22 games for Syracuse last season was no fluke. Make no mistake, this is a dangerous Portland side and they will look to set the tone early in their last preseason match before an MLS Cup rematch against the Yellow Team from the third world on March 6th.
Weaknesses: With the credentials listed above it is hard to imagine many shortcomings but a quick glance at the Timbers' last match will show you their approach to this tournament. Fitness, integration, and evaluation have been the m.o. for this portion of the preseason. The veterans from last season played a large part in the Timbers' first phase of preseason in Tucson that saw them take the scalps of Cascadian rivals Seattle Sounders, beat RSL and put on an impressive display in the draw against Houston, but have found themselves cheering on from the bench during the Simple Invitational.
The starting lineup against the Whitecaps featured ten players that hadn't participated in the tournaments opener, seven of which have never made a MLS appearance. New signings and draft picks a plenty, Portland lost the encounter against a veteran VWFC lineup. If Porter continues in this fashion then Chicago will surely face a side much different than the one that will visit Toyota Park on Memorial Day weekend and that plays right into the hands of Paunovic and the Men in Red. It may be a case of going blow for blow offensively with momentum and form swinging towards a Fire victory.
The Anthony Manning/Zarek Valentin pairing in front of Gleeson does not even come close to resembling the Nat Borchers/Liam Ridgwell/Adam Kwarasey partnership that lifted a trophy last year. Miscommunication, mismarking, allowing space and a failure to pick up late runs were part of both goals allowed on Wednesday and will prove costly if repeated against the likes of Gilberto, John Goossens and Atruro Alvarez. The youthful exuberance of the Paunovic era could also prove challenging to the slower veteran presence of Jack Jewsbury and Ned Grabavoy if they feature again and no matter who starts the battle in the midfield will be mouthwatering. Portland's forwards registered thirteen shots in the match against Vancouver but only three of them were on target and only one really caused Paolo Tornaghi any problems. This lack of sharpness will comfort the Chicago back line and shouldn't trouble Sean Johnson. His prowess as a shot stopper will carry through on the day no matter what critiques are present about his distribution.
Like any preseason squad Portland has a lot of unanswered questions regarding their newer players but room for error is part and parcel of this portion of the year. The starting lineup will have the biggest bearing on the result.
Prediction: If the Portland starting lineup resembles Wednesday's, Chicago 3-1 over Portland. If Porter brings the big guns, Chicago 3-3 Portland. Either way Paunovic enters the history books with his first trophy in Chicago. Your Fire goal scores, Goossens, Alvarez, and a Matt Polster rocket from 30 yards out.
So Alvarez is faster and better at pressing than Harry Shipp, and cheaper despite the fact that as a homegrown Shipp's salary didn't count against the cap?
Still a completely inexplicable move that will only look worse as time passes, unless Shipp does a Berry and ends up in the USL, an unlikely proposition.
Actually, Shipp would have hit the senior roster budget this year from what I understand.
Alvarez, I think, is a closer analog to replacing Nyarko than Shipp.
Maybe I'm reading into it wrong because of Shipp being constantly miscast, but that's how I tend to see it.
Hope is nice. Points and a good standing in the table is better. It certainly feels good to be encouraged about something, though.
Preseason is preseason. Portland also trounced Minnesota, and we exchanged fire with Vancouver with both teams displaying defensive weaknesses. We start really judging the team on March 6th.
AH is still in the wheelhouse.
You mean AH is still an AH for now.
According to Goossens' agency, the deal is for two years with an option for a third.
If the Tim Howard rumor is accurate and the Fire move to the top of the allocation order, what rumors are there about USMNT players playing abroad but thinking of coming to US?
Oh baby! Did that feel good!?!
Effective but not pretty. Nice to see the fire reintroduce themselves to a shutout.
Guys this even sounds weird but the fire under this coach could be good. The defense looked solid that the forward pressure is something we haven't seen I chicago for years.
Agreed. Good win. These boys looked solid. Better than my expectations. Weird feeling, but I have hope. Let's get behind these guys all.
Well coached game. It is nice to see a team properly prepared for their opponent. Looking forward to the opener next week.
Let me just say, nice to see a coach involved. Pauno is engaged. It drove me nuts watching Yallop chilling on a seat as the team got hammered last year.


The question is "Did I have more fun after the show than during it?" The answer, of course, is no, but I did have a great time talking to Justin Townes Earle backstage after the show. I usually stay after a show if there is a meet and greet just to introduce myself to the performer and tell them I will be forwarding the No Depression review with pictures to their management and how much I enjoyed the show. Often we have a little chat but after a long line of fans at the meet and greet I totally understand that they are very ready to go home, or to the bus.
Well, after the show with Earle it was a bit different. There was no meet and greet so his tour manager took me backstage to say hi. I was greeted with open arms and a request for a big hug. I have photographed Earle at least three times previously so there was some familiarity, but this wasn't expected. We talked about the show and traded a couple of stories about things he mentioned in the show. Then I brought up his mentioned love of baseball. Well, that was it, we talked nothing but baseball from that point on. Who knew Justin Townes Earle was so knowledgeable in baseball history. I know a lot of people that are sports nuts but very very few who know the game of baseball as well as JTE. As I am also a lover of baseball we had a great talk. Both of us being National League fans, me Phillies and he the Cubs, we agreed immediately that the American League since instituting the Designated Hitter no longer plays real baseball. It was such a comfortable time I felt like we could have talked for hours. And Justin, if you read this Odubel Herrera ended his consecutive games with a hit streak at 45 games.
Anyway on with the show and what an absolutely great show it was. Up front, I love his voice and his songwriting…period. Justin's banter between songs shows the experience of years on the road. Great voice, great songs, great stories, what more could I ask for? Justin started off with "Champagne Corolla" a great 1950's rock and roll sounding song and then "Maybe a Moment" from his latest album Kids In The Street. Then he sang "Memphis in the Rain" and "Nothing's Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now" from the album of the same name and sound like they come from a time when Justin may not have been cool with his life. Two down but really great songs. He then introduced "What's She Crying For" saying the title just make more sense said that way. Justin then shifted to a bit of the blues. He played a Mance Lipscomb song "So Different Blues" followed by Lightnin' Hopkins' "Automobile Blues". I gotta tell you Justin Townes Earle can sing and play the blues. Wow.
"Mama's Eyes followed an explanation of just how tough his mom could be and it is a beautiful song showing feelings about his mom and his dad. Great song. "They Killed John Henry" is a folk ballad kind of song he wrote, he dedicated it to his grandfather Jack Dublin Earle who could tell stories for hours.
This review is getting long so I'm going to skip to the end. One of my favorite Justin Townes Earle songs "Harlem River Blues" This could have been a great end to a great show but the encore topped everything off. Justin talked about Malcolm Holcombe a songwriter he said whose influences could not be traced. Along with Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen, Justin said Holcombe was a totally unique songwriter. He then sang a Malcolm Holcombe song "Who Carried You" followed by The Replacements' "Can't Hardly Wait" to end a fantastic night of music. Justin Townes Earle is still on tour so absolutely catch him if you can. I don't want to forget to mention Lilly Hyatt who opened the show. An absolutely fantastic, and dynamic performer who got the show off to a great start. Look her up and catch her if you can.

by Mario Osava (january day)
RIO DE JANEIRO, June 4 (IPS) – The health, financial, environmental and political crises have not stopped Brazil from attracting private capital to expand infrastructure, according to Sector Minister Tarcisio de Freitas.
The Minister of Infrastructure announced in a press conference held with about twenty foreign correspondents, in which other leaders in the fields of trade and transport participated, the concessions of airports, highways, railways and port stations, which were auctioned in the past two years, with a total investment of 14 billion dollars. Share too.
He predicted that accelerating this process from July will allow the country to raise the total investment to $200 billion over the next five years, if resources and services are included under the management of other ministries, such as power plants and sewage.
"It is the largest infrastructure franchise program in our history," Freitas said in a June 2 video conference with foreign correspondents.
The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to Brazil's success in attracting international capital, contrary to what was expected.
Freitas said: "We advanced when many countries backed down and stopped offering their assets due to the uncertainty in the economic situation. We decided to bet on seeing long-term investors and looking for the excess capital available in the world, as premium sellers."
The operation of 22 airports was privatized on April 7 for an amount equal to 17 times the minimum set price, despite the air transport crisis caused by the pandemic. A French company acquired a 30-year concession for a group of seven airports in northern Brazil. The others are now in the hands of a Brazilian consortium.
At the virtual press conference, which was promoted by IPS in partnership with the UK government, the minister said the success was due to Brazil's "tradition of honoring contracts", the large portfolio of projects and their excellent profitability. Foreign Media Correspondents Association, The National Trade Federation and the Federation of Foreign Chambers of Commerce.
The Infrastructure Minister said attracting national and international private capital is the way to cover Brazil's infrastructure deficit, given the "delicate financial situation" that limits public investment.

"The Ministry of Transport had 20 billion riyals (about $7.5 billion at the time) for investments in 2014 when it was only responsible for land transportation, and today the Ministry of Infrastructure has six billion riyals ($1.2 billion) and it oversees ports, airports, roads and railways. Pointing to the need for private capital.
Jose Tadros, president of the National Trade Federation, said that Brazil invested 2.2 percent of its GDP in infrastructure from 2001 to 2014 and "should invest four to five percent to overcome its historical shortcomings".
This is far less than what neighboring countries like Chile and Peru are investing in infrastructure, and the result is higher costs, "bad roads and ports, and a lack of rail and intermodal connections," he lamented.
This is a "virtuous moment" in the rail sector, said Fernando Paes, CEO of Rail, with a strong increase in investments expected following the renewal of existing concessions and future construction of two new major lines. National Rail Transport Agency.
The Ministry of Infrastructure National Logistics Plan sets a goal for railways to transport 36 percent of national freight by 2035, an increase of 70 percent from the current quota.
Virugrao (part of the plan) is "the most important project in Brazil," according to Freitas. The 933-kilometre route will mainly serve the export of soybeans and corn from the north-central state of Mato Grosso, the country's largest producer of these exports, which account for 27 percent of the total. The northern Amazon route will be used in place of the far southern ports.

The exports are currently transported via the BR-163, which was only completed in February 2020, decades after trucks laden with soybeans got stuck in mud while crossing more than 900 kilometers of the Amazon rainforest to reach Meritatuba port in the Tapajós River, before transporting Soybeans for 1,100 km downriver to Atlantic ports.
The railways serve the interests of the multinational corporations that dominate these Brazilian exports and global agricultural trade, such as the American companies ADM, Bunge Limited and Cargill.
But Virugrao will make transporting these exports cheaper and help reduce shipping costs across the country, by expanding agricultural exports across northern Brazil and creating a logistics hub between the heart of the Amazon and central Brazil, the infrastructure minister hopes.
He predicted that products from the Manaus Free Trade Zone, an industrial zone in the state capital of Amazonas, would reach key national markets via waterways and railways.
He also said that its construction will have beneficial environmental impacts by reducing greenhouse gas emissions by trucks and reducing more intense deforestation caused by roads.
But environmentalists and indigenous rights advocates differ.
It will stimulate the expansion of agricultural frontiers in the Amazon rainforest, where there is a lack of management, leading to deforestation," said Sergio Guimarães, executive secretary of the Amazon Rainforest. Infrastructure working group, in an interview with IPS over the phone from Brasilia after the press conference.
He pointed out that the environmental assessment does not include the indirect effects of the project on a wider area of the railway line and its margins. Cheaper transportation on a large scale tends to expand production space in an area already affected by massive monoculture on the fringes of the Amazon rainforest.

In addition, the activist said more supply and demand studies and comparative analyzes of alternatives are needed.
Three railway projects have been introduced to transport soybean and corn exports from central north of Mato Grosso, which are currently 70 million tons per year and will rise to 120 million tons in the near future, according to Freitas.
In addition to Ferrogrão, an isolated line to the north, the Central and Western Integration Railway (Fico) will run from the east, linking to the North and South Railway which is already operating and has access to ports in the northeast and southeast of Brazil.
A third alternative is a proposal by Rumo to extend its northern network, now south of Mato Grosso, to the center of the soybean production area. This network has the advantage of rail connectivity with access to Santos, Brazil's main export port, and transit of São Paulo, the most economically productive and populous state.
But Guimarães, who is calling for comparative studies on projects and other concessions of the Infrastructure Ministry's logistics plan, said: "There are not enough shipments to make the three railways viable."
Other risks identified by Guimarães with respect to Virugrao are the potential for overloading and accidents on the Tapajós-Amazonas waterway, if most of Mato Grosso's production is exported via this route, and changes in river flows due to climate change.
Another railway, the Western and Eastern Integration Line (Fiol), which crosses the northeastern state of Bahia and runs for 537 kilometers granted to a mining company controlled by the Kazakh Eurasian Resources Group, also faces environmental opposition to the threat to local biodiversity, particularly in the area where the port is to be built. In which.
The minister announced that the ports, which have been the "bottleneck" of exports, are also undergoing improvements and large-scale privatization.
Waterways, an undervalued resource in Brazil, have also been included in the transformations his ministry intends to make. But this is where you feel the effects of climate change most yet with severe droughts in the Midwest and Southeast of Brazil. Navigation is expected to be suspended on the Tieti River, which crosses the state of São Paulo in southeastern Brazil.

Growing the intracellular bridges that connect nurse cells with each o ther and to the developing oocyte is vital for egg development. These ring canals increase from 0.5 microns in diameter at stage 2 to 10 microns in diameter at stage 11. Thin sections cut horizontally as you would cut a bagel, show that there is a layer of circumferentially oriented actin filaments attached to the plasma membrane at the periphery of each canal. By decoration with subfragment 1 of myosin we find actin filaments of mixed polarities in the ring such as found in the "contractile ring" formed during cytokinesis. In vertical sections through the canal the actin filaments appear as dense dots. At stage 2 there are 82 actin filaments in the ring, by stage 6 there are 717 and by stage 10 there are 726. Taking into account the diameter, this indicates that there is 170 microns of actin filaments/canal at stage 2 (pi x 0.5 microns x 82), 14,000 microns at stage 9 and approximately 23,000 microns at stage 11 or one inch of actin filament! The density of actin filaments remains unchanged throughout development. What is particularly striking is that by stages 4-5, the ring of actin filaments has achieved its maximum thickness, even though the diameter has not yet increased significantly. Thereafter, the diameter increases. Throughout development, stages 2-11, the canal length also increases. Although the density (number of actin filaments/micron2) through a canal remains constant from stage 5 on, the actin filaments appear as a net of interconnected bundles. Further information on this net of bundles comes from studying mutant animals that lack kelch, a protein located in the ring canal that has homology to the actin binding protein, scruin. In this mutant, the actin filaments form normally but individual bundles that comprise the fibers of the net are not bound tightly together. Some bundles enter into the ring canal lumen but do not completely occlude the lumen. all these observations lay the groundwork for our understanding of how a noncontractile ring increases in thickness, diameter, and length during development.

More Russian Ships On Way to Syria
By	The Moscow Times
Demonstrators in Kafranbel, Syria, expressing their view about world leaders' lack of intervention in Syria's war.
WASHINGTON — The United States says the Russian military was preparing to dispatch three more ships to Syria after a separate transport carrying attack helicopters turned back when its U.K. insurer removed its coverage.
But Pentagon officials noted that Moscow's stated intent was to send supplies and personnel to its naval facility in the Syrian port of Tartus.
"We have no indication that these vessels and that material is being sent to Syria for any other purpose than that which the Russian military has acknowledged themselves," Pentagon spokesman Navy Captain John Kirby said Tuesday.
"Russian citizens have been threatened there in Syria, and their stated intention is that this is for force protection reasons."
Interfax reported Monday that Russia was preparing to send two landing ships carrying marines to Syria in the event that it needs to protect personnel and remove equipment from the naval facility.
On Tuesday, a cargo ship carrying the helicopters, the Alaed, turned around off the British coast after it lost its insurance.
"I am pleased that the ship that was reported to be carrying arms to Syria has now turned back apparently towards Russia," British Foreign Secretary William Hague told Parliament.
"We have in place a European Union arms embargo on Syria. We discourage anyone else from supplying arms to Syria. We have had discussions with Russia about that specifically."
The ship's operator, Femco, operating the Alaed, offered no comment when contacted several times by Reuters about the ship and its cargo.
Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin made clear during talks this week that he does not want Bashar Assad to remain in power in Syria any longer, British Prime Minister David Cameron said Tuesday.
Cameron said Putin had shifted his view of the Syrian leader during talks with U.S. President Barack Obama and other world leaders at a Group of 20 summit in Mexico, and that discussions were now focused on a transition.
"There remain differences over sequencing and the shape of how the transition takes place but it is welcome that President Putin has been explicit that he does not want Assad remaining in charge in Syria," Cameron told reporters.
"What we need next is an agreement on a transitional leadership that can move Syria to a democratic future that protects the rights of all its communities."
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande, Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and Cameron were present with Obama for the talks with Putin.
Cameron warned that time was running out to put a stop to the violence in Syria, which shows scarce sign of stemming.
"There is little time left to resolve this, but we do now have clear agreement on the key principles, on the risks to Syria, on the need to stop the violence and the urgency of political transition," he said.
Obama said Russia and China have "not signed on" to any plan for the removal of Assad from power but that they recognize the dangers of an all-out civil war in the country.
Obama said Assad has lost all legitimacy and that it was impossible to conceive of any solution to the violence in Syria that would leave him in power.
He conceded that he had failed to make a breakthrough with the leaders of Russia or China, despite intensive talks with both Moscow and Beijing, which have shielded Assad from tougher UN sanctions.
"I wouldn't suggest that at this point the United States and the rest of the international community are aligned with Russia and China in their positions, but I do think they recognize the grave dangers of all-out civil war," he told reporters at a Group of 20 summit in Mexico.
Syria is Moscow's firmest foothold in the Middle East. The country buys weapons from Russia worth billions of dollars and hosts the Russian Navy's only permanent warm water port outside the former Soviet Union.
But Russia has faced increasing Western criticism over arms supplies to Syria, where the United Nations says government forces have killed more than 10,000 people in a crackdown.

Val D. Mills: My, She's Fly!
Beauty, brains, a nurturing spirit, and a level of resilience rivaled only by her incessant tendency to make other people smile — I just don't how all she fit all them in them genes! This month's My, She's Fly is admittedly my favorite of all the wonderful women I've featured, and with good reason too; she's my Mama! Meet a long-time Execumama who has survived a great deal of turmoil and continues to provide an example of a shining human spirit that insists on pursuing the fullest version of itself!
Mama gig: Mother to a sagacious and beautiful daughter, and two equally wonderful sons; all adults.
Is your day job your passion?
I'm finding that even after 23 years, it still is not. At times it feels that I could literally close my eyes and perform the tasks given to me, and I know I've outgrown my job. What I do love is anything that has to do with finances: investments, retirement financial planning, etc. I also love garment making, and I love to blog (check me out here), sing and dance — yep, all those things! Question is, what do I do with all of this? Answer? Pursue them all, and I've already started doing just that!
One would think that once your children become adults, you no longer qualify for the "Working mother concerns" club. Is that the case?
Actually, no, it never stops because I still want to make sure things are going right for them and their children too. I get to play mother all over again with my grandchildren and I am loving it! The same care and concern I have for my adult children is now extended to my granddaughters. So, no, the "working mother concerns' never end.
Word on the street is 40 is the new 20! Does that mean 50 is the new 30? How is your life better now that you've entered this era in your journey?
YES! 5o is the new 30, and I find myself feeling younger, fresher, and definitely happier than I was in my 20's and 30's. I often feel like I wasted decades of my life living a lesser version of myself in many ways, mostly stemming from poor decision making. Ask yourself what decisions you've recently made, or are about to make, that are less than you. If you can identify them, change or repair those decisions, if it's not too late. For me now, through my vast and various experiences, I've grown wiser, and I look forward to each of my birthdays!
What life-lesson tips can you offer to us Execumamas in our 20's and 30's?
Try to make decisions that use less emotion and more logic. Pay little attention to what others think and focus more on what would be the very best decision for YOU! Emotional or inauthentic decisions often lead to you being consumed with regrets. That's sort of my story, and so I speak from a place of knowing. Nowadays, I hear people saying "DO YOU!", and I like that saying very much!
The Execumama credo is to Define, Design, and Live your fullest version of WOMAN; what are you doing to live that particular charge each day?
My current academic pursuits, my sewing lessons, my socializing, my being more active overall is me living that credo. I read more, I pay more attention to grooming, I'm doing what feels good to me, and that's my fullest self.
Thanks, Mom! Your wisdom is much appreciated, as always! Okay folks, what have you learned about regrets, intentions, and embracing your life at any age so far?


Customer: A North American leader in the Cabinet Component Industry based in La Crosse, WI., manufactures custom cabinet doors, drawer boxes, moldings and many other varieties of cabinet components and accessories.
Project Scope: Replace existing air flow and pneumatic controls on open front spray booths.
Project Design: The existing spray booth controls consisted of an across line motor starter for the exhaust fan with start / stop push buttons. Air filter flow restriction was monitored by a manometer tube which depended upon operator checks to maintain adequate ventilation. No external status was shown for the booths,such as: in use, purging, off, etc.
An intelligent PLC controller, Variable Frequency Drive, system status lights, and differential pressure sensors with analog outputs were installed. This allowed the differential pressure across the filters to be monitored. We were now able to provide an indication of when the flow was reduced to insure minimum safety standards would be met.
Exhaust flow was also monitored and based upon this value, the exhaust fan speed could be altered. This saved power consumed by the electric exhaust motor as well as the amount of makeup air that had to be heated in the winter. When flow rates became impeded beyond a safe level, the pneumatic supply to the spray gun was shut off to prevent further operation.
Usage of the spray guns was monitored and after a predetermined time of no useage the exhaust fan speed could be reduced and then eventually stopped. It, however, remained in a ready state and would restart if the gun was activated.
The booth lights were also connected to the system and would shut off after a predetermined time of no spraying activity.
The completed spray booth system offered savings in power usage (both power consumed by the exhaust fan motor and in amount of makeup air required) and met OSHA standards for operator safety.

where we stopped for lunch. It just so happened we stopped at a hotel and decided to spend the night! Yeah! After 3 bushcamps, it's nice to have a bed and a bathroom, albeit down the hall. I did my wash and hung it on the roof on the line and am catching up on email.
Tomorrow we'll cross the border into Mauritania, hopefully, and carry on!


"My other dog, Pippin, has had a stroke and I have to leave her at home when we come out because she doesn't like to walk anymore. This is Max - he's Pippin's brother. He is 16 years old and the same age as Pippin, but Max and I can still get out and about and enjoy walking along the canal together.
We come to this bit of the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal quite often. Max likes his treats, and he just loves to be busy. Today, we're on our way to have a panini in that little café by the canal and then, after that, we're going to the hairdressers because I'm going to get my hair cut! Max will have to wait outside while I'm in there though - no, no - he can't come in, but he's ok with that... aren't you Max?
Anyway, I must get off now for my panini. I have a friend who pops in regularly to check that Pippin is alright, and to keep her company, but we really don't want to leave her at home without us for very long.

Microsoft Experiments with Ads in Windows Mail
By Simon Batt – Posted on Nov 24, 2018 Nov 24, 2018 in News, Windows
Attentive Windows users might have seen a recent addition to the Windows 10 Mail app, one that they may wish they didn't see added at all. Without warning, the Mail app began to display advertisements in line with the emails. Windows would then display a message saying that users can "go ad-free" by getting a copy of Office 365.
Bad news: Mail for #Windows10 is getting ads for non-office 365 subscribers! https://t.co/xDELzAClJq pic.twitter.com/gXkQXab5Wr
— Aggiornamenti Lumia (@ALumia_Italia) November 16, 2018
Users responded very negatively to this change, wanting answers as to why this previously ad-free service had done a turnaround without warning. As quickly as the adverts arrived, however, they were removed once again. Microsoft then claimed the whole thing was an experiment and that it was "never intended to be tested broadly."
Of course, users aren't so sure that this was "just an experiment" and assume this excuse is simply a way of backing down after Microsoft added the ads in the first place. After all, Microsoft did have a full-fledged FAQ which has since been deleted off their website. These make it hard to believe it was a simple experiment and make it easier to assume that Microsoft really was gunning for ads in the Mail app.
Related: Windows Live Mail Help: 5 Common Problems and Their Solutions
Why Would Microsoft Add Ads?
The obvious answer is "because it makes them money," but some users are disgruntled that they're receiving advertisements on a paid operating system. Why does Microsoft feel it's worth selling Windows 10 for quite a high price, only to inundate it with adverts later on down the line?
The truth is, Windows 10 has never been shy to feature ads. You may have even seen them from the moment you booted Windows 10 for the first time! Advertisements for apps appear in the Start menu, and some apps even come pre-installed for users to try out.
The Profit Problem
The problem Microsoft faces right now is finding a way to get users to continue paying after they've bought Windows 10. The initial injection of money that a user gives Microsoft when they buy the operating system is nice, but what happens two, three, five, maybe ten years down the line? If the user is totally satisfied and doesn't buy anything extra, it's entirely possible for them to use Windows for years without paying Microsoft another penny.
There are multiple ways that Microsoft can keep the revenue flowing; the problem is getting the public to like it. We had a brief scare in 2018 where people thought Windows 10 was becoming a monthly subscription service. It turned out to be a business-related desktop management plan, but the fear of Windows 10 becoming a monthly service was enough to scare people.
Microsoft probably won't release a new Windows, as they've been put on record saying that Windows 10 is likely the final version of the operating system they'll release. With no new releases on the horizon and people reacting negatively to specific strategies, they'll have to think of other ways to make more money.
One potentially good source of revenue for Microsoft is Office 365. This is their subscription-based version of Office and what Microsoft would ideally like people to use for word processing and presentations. Unfortunately, there are free and cheaper office suites available (including older Office versions!) which makes Office 365 a relatively hard sell. From the "experiment" explained above, it appears Microsoft is trying to wrangle up some cash by encouraging users to subscribe to Office 365 to get rid of ads.
Adverse Advertisements
Microsoft's recent "experiment" ruffled the features of Windows 10 users who aren't so keen on believing that it was just a test. As Windows 10 proliferates around the world and the sales of the operating system slows down, there's no telling what Microsoft will try in order to brighten their profit margins.
Do you believe that Mail ads were not meant to be seen by the public? Or is it damage control after the outcry? Do you think Microsoft will try to further monetize Windows 10? If so, how? Sound off below!

"Do you believe that Mail ads were not meant to be seen by the public?"
Bovine manure! M$ is the game to make money and will always do anything to maximize profits. I fully expect Windows O/S to become subscription software, along with all other M$ developed software.
"Microsoft probably won't release a new Windows, as they've been put on record saying that Windows 10 is likely the final version of the operating system they'll release."
Notice the word "LIKELY'. A loophole if I ever saw one. I would not be surprised if M$ was not working hard to develop the next version of Windows. In a couple of years, M$ will come out with a statement that they "have discovered severe vulnerabilities in Win10 and had to make major changes to it to eliminate them. Unfortunately, the changes will make the new O/S largely incompatible with Winn 10 so users must buy the new version." Rinse and repeat every 5 years or so.
The Boca Deb
Dragonmouth, I'll see your 'bovine manure' and raise you several tonnes of 'horse puckey.' M$FT is being sucked dry by Nadella's so-called 'leadership.'
Please — would the EU and FTC stop Nadella before it's too late? Give us end-users back our technology!
Karma indeed.

Students launch a sit-in the office of Vice-President for Student Services, Henry Johnson, to address safety concerns of women on campus and the need to open a rape crisis center.
University executive officers approve $75,000 for the initiation of an anti-assault program.
The Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC) opens under the direction of Coordinator, Julie Steiner. The center, located in 3100 Michigan Union emerged as a source of counseling, education, and information to assault survivors, students and the University community.
The center implemented many activities in its first year of operation, including development of information brochures, programming on rape and acquaintance rape for new students and parents at Summer Orientation, the formation of SAFEWALK, training for campus security officers and residence hall staff, training of peer educators to lead Acquaintance Rape Prevention Workshops, organization of Sexual Assault Awareness Week, special programs for staff and faculty on sexual assault and harassment, full-time counselor hired to provide direct counseling and advocacy to any sexual assault survivors in the University community, expansion of Nite Owl Bus Service, first annual Sexual Assault Survivor's Speak-Out held, and workshops were done in the Greek system.
A 24-hour Crisis Line is established to provide support, counseling, and outreach to any survivor of sexual assault in the University community during the academic year. Programming was expanded to include lesbian and male survivors and the family and friends of survivors. The first annual Rape Prevention Month was also held.
The Acquaintance Rape Workshop grew to consist of 30 men and women as well as two student staff coordinators. The workshops were seen by over 8,000 students throughout the University community. NorthWalk, North Campus' nighttime walking service was established.
On June 6, 1990 SAPAC moves to the first floor (Room L-107), Winchell House of West Quad, located at 580 Union Drive (now Kennedy Drive). The Crisis Line decreases hours to 5pm - 9am weekdays and 24 hours on weekends. The NPA Program was established to organize and publicize SAPAC activities and events, network with ther student and community groups, organize letter-writing campaigns, table at various events, and more. The goal of the program is to break the silence and raise awareness about sexual violence.
The hours of SAFEWALK increase.
Deborah Cain begins as new SAPAC director on September 1, 1992. SAPAC's mission is broadened to include providing programming on domestic violence and stalking.
The addition of a Dating Violence / Domestic Violence Peer Education program in collaboration with the Domestic Violence Project. The addition of General Volunteer Program student coordinators and Master of Social Work interns. The Peer Education program expands to include workshops for men and women in athletics. SAPAC opens a SAPAC-Flint office on the Flint campus.
The Crisis Line Outreach Services increases its availability to 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Peer Education program added a sexual harassment workshop. Volunteer training is consolidates to include all SAPAC volunteers. A campus sexual assault policy is written. Departmental protocols are developed.
The Men's Activism Program is created to educate men on sexual assault and intimate partner violence-related issues, to show men that they play an essential role in ending violence, and to partner together to address these issues. Also, SAPAC implements a coordinated community response service model, provides a Master's in Higher Education internship opportunity, creates and advisory board, and is awarded a Department of Justice grant to provide education and outreach to underrepresented communities on campus. Mary Sue Coleman mandates that all first year students receive sexual violence prevention education.
Emily Kripitz, NPA, creates the first ever SAPAC art exhibition called "rEVOLUTION: Making Art for Change." This event has continued annually to the present.
The NPA Program hosts Jean Kilbourne, feminist author, speaker, and filmmaker who is internationally recognized for her groundbreaking work on the image of women in advertising.
The MA Program hosts guest speaker Byron Hurt, and anti-sexist activist who provides cutting-edge male leadership, expert analysis, keynote addresses, and workshop facilitation in the field of sexual and gender violence prevention and education.
PE Program holds its first-ever spring concert fundraiser with performances from local bands and raises $1,000. SAPAC Staff creates an educational video called "A Common Voice" that addresses sexual assault and intimate partner violence in underrepresented communities. This video has been shown at three national conferences.
SAPAC develops a nationally-recognized toolkit called "Striving for Justice: A Toolkit for Judicial Resolution Officers on College Campuses" specifically for individuals working in student conflict resolution on campus to help increase their understanding and familiarity with the issues of sexual assault and intimate partner violence. With funding from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women, SAPAC collected information from other universities to develop this tool and also worked closely with a local domestic violence shelter, SafeHouse Center, in Ann Arbor, MI.
The PE Program reaches almost 4,000 first-year students, the greatest number of first-year students reached since the program's inception. SAPAC launches its first blog, maintained by student volunteers. The National Sexual Violence Resource Center recognizes SAPAC's Toolkit as an example of a model resource for educating and training communities on sexual assault and intimate partner violence.
SAPAC hosted Jessica Valenti of feministing.com as a guest lecturer with the help of the Union Arts and Programs Women's Forum. SAPAC Staff were successful in advocating for "intimate partner violence" to be added as a violation of the student code of conduct. In March, SAPAC is recognized by the Department of Justice as one of the top 12 colleges or universities in the country providing services around sexual assault and intimate partner violence. SAPAC implements a monthly writing group open to any interested trauma survivors affiliated with the university. SAPAC implements a peer led support group for survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence.
The Men's Activism Program hosts Dr. Keith Edwards, Director of Campus Life at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota for his lecture, "Men Ending Rape: Why U-Matter." Six volunteers from various volunteer programs attended the National Young Feminist Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. The conference had a crowd of over 500 young women, representing over 120 feminist groups across the nation. The first ever survivor Ally training is held as an abbreviated version of SAPAC's 30-hour volunteer training.

The main purpose of this essay is to critically discuss the importance of an understanding of human evolution and the history of psychology for the modern psychologist. The essay aims to critically discuss the study of human evolution which includes some of the species that evolved over the years before we now have our species, the history of psychology and the different prominent figures that are responsible for psychology being the field it is today. Finally, how an understanding of this can aid a modern psychologist. To conclude, this essay will collate previous research done on human evolution, history of psychology and the importance of this for the modern psychologist.
Human evolution started with Charles Darwin who thought that humans evolved from apes, he aimed to explain this through his theory of natural selection, genetic variation and 'survival of the fittest' (Ruse 2009).Through this insight gave rise to all archaeologists to search in the eastern and western African region to find fossil evidence of these apes or species we have evolved from. Through individual's hard work and dedication we can now fill in the gaps between the different species and how we have arrived at our modern day selves.
Every story has to have a beginning, middle and an end except, this story is continuing as the field of psychology is becoming more recognised as a distinct science and a force to be reckoned with in the field. The beginning of psychology starts with the evolution of the hominids over 6 million years ago which was the Australopithecines. One of the most iconic of the Australopithecus was named Lucy. She may have evolved from a species known as A. anamnesis. Lucy was able to walk upright on two legs and climbing trees but showed no evidence of tool making based on the fossils found (National History Museum n.d).
The next major species found after the Australopithecus was the Homo habilis. Around the same time period they came into existence, two other species were present, homo rudolfensis (Alexeev 1986) and homo ergaster (Archaeology Information n.d). The brain size of Homo habilis was about 590-687 cc, unlike the Australopithecus they should evidence of tool usage (Tobias 1987).
The homo ergaster species has a brain size of approximately 860cc (Australian museum n.d). They also showed evidence of tool making and there was a possibility of vocalization (). It is evident through this how the species are becoming more and more progressive, from the first species discussed not showing evidence of tool making and their brain size getting larger as each species is evolving.


Replace distributed_join session property with join_distribution_type.
Replace reorder_joins session property with join_reordering_strategy.
Introduce distributed sort. It is now possible to turn on distributed sort via experimental distributed_sort session property (off by default). Distributed sort will help in cases when sorted data doesn't fit on single node. Performance improvement can be expected, but partially distributed data streams are still merged on a single node.
Add support for ROLE management including CREATE ROLE, DROP ROLE, GRANT ROLE, REVOKE ROLE, SET ROLE, SHOW CURRENT ROLES, SHOW ROLES and SHOW ROLE GRANTS commands.
Improve predicate inferring/pushdown between source and filtering subquery for queries like SELECT ... WHERE <symbol> IN <subquery>.
Allow disabling ability to create external tables from Presto (via hive.non-managed-table-creates-enabled).
Add wildcard character * which allows to query several MBeans data with single query.
The current_time and localtime functions were fixed to return the correct value for non-UTC timezones.
Make DECIMAL the default literal for non-integral numbers.

Who is stronger Harry or Hermione?
Who is heir of Gryffindor?
Harry Potter, for instance, embodied many of the traits that were approved and appreciated by Salazar Slytherin.
He was clever, resourceful and cunning, yet the Sorting Hat made him a Gryffindor because the very fact that he asked not to be in Slytherin showed that he did not belong there..
However, despite her academic success, Hermione Granger is not a perfect fit for Ravenclaw. The first reason she's not a Ravenclaw relates to a common misunderstanding about the House itself. … So just because Hermione is a good student doesn't automatically make her a good Ravenclaw.
Muggle-born Slytherins exist, but are very rare, as noted insultingly by Scabior the Snatcher. There have also been definite examples of half-bloods sorted into the house, including Tom Riddle, Dolores Umbridge, and Severus Snape. … Also, pure-bloods are not automatically placed in Slytherin.
None of the Slytherin students fought in the battle of Hogwarts on any side whatsoever. They were escorted to the dungeons before the start of the battle and they were most;y there till the battle was over.
Slytherins can be extremely loyal if they want to be. They can respect people and never leave their side. … Slytherin house is also very competitive. So if Gryffindor, but Slytherin even more so, making sure they win all the time.
People who hate Slytherin House because they're all evil are as biased and prejudiced as the unreliable narrator of the series. Not everyone hates Slytherins. but most do.
Hermione isn't Voldemort's daughter. She is the daughter of "Wendell Wilkins" and "Monica Wilkins" (after she modified their memories). Delphini Riddle is Voldemort's and Bellatrix Lestrange's daughter.
The Sorting Hat had decided not to put Harry in Slytherin at least somewhat in part due to Harry's own desire not to be in Slytherin – but it seems fairly clear that the reason the Sorting Hat was considering putting him there to begin with was because he was "seeing" the Dark Lord's soul as a part of Harry and that …
What does Slytherin mean? Slytherin is one of the four houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. Each house has a set of traits and characteristics associated with it, and those in Slytherin are known for being ambitious, cunning, and resourceful.
Meta-wise, Ravenclaw is the only house currently lacking a main protagonist/headliner character, like Harry, Albus Severus or Newt Scamander. In real life, I feel that the Gryffindor traits are the most rare? This is entirely based on my own opinion, though….Hufflepuff, 50%Slytherin, 40%Ravenclaw, 8%Gryffindor, 2%
Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor never liked each other due to different opinions they held. A major one being Salazar's claim that only the pure-blooded wizards should be accepted to Hogwarts. … Godric wanted everyone allowed in, while Salazar didn't want "impure" wizards at Hogwarts.
Gryffindor houseProfessor Rubeus Hagrid (b. 6 December 1928) was an English half-giant wizard, son of Mr Hagrid and the giantess Fridwulfa, and elder half-brother of the giant Grawp. Hagrid attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1940 and was sorted into Gryffindor house.
Gryffindors charge into fights with no regard to whether they get defeated or not, as long as they go down in blazing glory they're fine. Slytherins would rather attack when it's of less danger to them and they're more likely to win. It may be less moral, but it's more logical and practical.
Harry is more powerful for sure. The movies made Hermione perfect so people think she's more powerful but she is not. Harry has been practicing to fight all his life. … Judging from the books, Harry is definitely a better duelist than Hermione, but Hermione far exceeds Harry in just about anything else.
Harry is heir to Godric Gryffindor (see the Harry Potter Lexicon.)
