2022 Mechanical Engineering Internships in San Jose, CA
Are you interested in an internship in mechanical engineering? At the nexus of design, technology, and industry sits mechanical engineering, a field as diverse as it is crucial to society. Mechanical engineering internships train students and recent graduates to create machines, products, and technological systems. Interns in mechanical engineering can work in private corporations and small businesses, public infrastructure, government agencies and militaries, or universities. We are a society that runs at a breakneck speed, and many internships in mechanical engineering focus on the generation and delivery of energy, natural gas, and oil to support that pace. Work with your city's power authority, for example, to develop specifications and drawings for new equipment systems including cooling water, air compressors, and rigging equipment. The megawatts don't stop there: mechanical engineering interns may help provide nuclear power, construct fossil fuel facilities, build hydroelectric dams, and develop alternative fuel and renewable energy systems. Mechanical engineering internships also concentrate on the products and appliances that drive everyday life, be it lasers printers or airplanes. Working in conjunction with other engineers and specialists, students break ground on emerging fields like medical bio-technology. Imagine, for example, creating an artificial limb that is lightweight, durable, and compatible with the human body. In this scenario, interns in mechanical engineering are the experts in designing motion in a team of doctors and biologists.

MOTHER OF LEARNING
By Minichirops, member
Dec 30, 2019: Fanfiction is a guilty pleasure of mine, so I've often run into writers whose tenses change mid-sentence, and I've almost always immediately stopped reading. Adittedly, I may have been missing out this whole time, but this is the first time I've read something, looked past the occasional tense change, and enjoyed something for what it is.
Good dialog, distinct characters, world-building without info-dumping.
It's worth reading. Doubtless further editing will make it a priceless addition to the pool of web serial talent currently gracing the internet.
Infuriating and Deceptive
By Thedude3445, author of Rainbow Destructor
Dec 10, 2019: I actually made my very first digital return on Amazon this week thanks to the audiobook of The Wandering Inn, Volume 1.
I was about 15 hours in, longer than most other audiobooks I have ever listened to but less than halfway through the FIRST VOLUME of this behemoth. And, for a large part of my experience, it was a quite fun time. The world is nicely built and feels lived-in; the protagonists have really nice voices, and the prose is far better than you'd find in a typical isekai fantasy story. However, the story, advertised loudly as a fun slice-of-life fantasy romp, is anything but.
In the beginning, our protagonist Erin is faced with constant hurdles and barriers, incessant setbacks and stupid mistakes. She accidentally finds monsters, accidentally pays too much for food, accidentally breaks her fly traps, and more shenanigans. It's fun! Until, suddenly, it turns into a complete mess!
Everything to do with goblins in this story is despicable. It's tonally jarring to the rest, eliminating all humor sometimes in the span of a single chapter. It's filled with vivid depictions of gore and grieving and PTSD. And the way goblins are portrayed is morally reprehensible, trying to balance making them mindless creatures and sentient beings at once. It comes off so badly that if you swapped goblins for a human ethnic group, it'd be more blatantly offensive than a 50s cowboy movie.
It'd be fine if the goblins only popped up once or twice, maybe. Maybe. But they don't. They keep appearing over and over, each time completely removing itself to become some edgy violence storm, I guess to better appeal to the teenage readers or something? It's all completely unnecessary. Honestly it enraged me like no other fiction has recently. All of the goodwill the story had given me was sapped up completely.
Honestly, Erin as a protagonist was starting to annoy me, too; the way she was so "moral high ground" barging into a city filled with non-humans came off as generally very rude, and it was clear that the author does not have experiences of being an outsider in a culture apart from her own. The way she dealt with the constant trauma was kind of weird to me, too, usually disappearing pretty soon after the edgy scenes were over. The fact that I was getting tired of her this early in the story was a sign that I did not need to be continuing.
There was still one promising avenue left in the story before I decided to return it— I really liked the Ryoka scenes, a completely disconnected second protagonist that would have been aggravating except that her story was much more interesting. However, it wasn't interesting enough for me to trudge through the rest to get it.
The Wandering Inn is, what, millions of words long by now? I'm kind of glad the story was so bad in the beginning that I didn't get invested, because that'd have been a mega timesink.
KATALEPSIS
Katalesbians
By tkjarrah, author of blacklight
Nov 2, 2019: SHORT VERSION:
spooky eldritch shit but without a lot of the bullshit you usually get attached to that, and also good as shit and non-creepy lesbians. go read it.
Katalepsis falls somewhere in-between the genres of urban fantasy and eldritch horror – more of the vibe of the former but the content of the latter, if I had to try and pin it down like that. My first thought for comparison was The Laundry Files by Charles Stross, except, you know. Good.
Heather Morell sees things. Monsters, abominations, fake versions of reality. Diagnosed with severe schizo-affective disorder, she's struggling through an empty university life, with medication that doesn't work and horrors she can't ignore. Right up until she runs into a girl on the street, and starts to figure out that maybe the reason the medications weren't working is that the things that she's seeing are actually there.
Right off the bat, it's important to note that Heather's misdiagnosis is explicitly that, a misdiagnosis. Sometimes with stories like these, you get a situation where the disability is actually just super special secret magic powers (cough cough Percy Jackson cough cough) which . . . kinda sucks. Thankfully, Katalepsis doesn't go that route – it's not trying to say that every schizophrenic person is actually seeing Lovecraftian abominations in the street, but also doesn't treat Heather like she's suddenly been 'cured' or deserving of more respect or worth as a person because she's not actually schizophrenic. The issue of disability, both mental and physical, is handled with care and respect, which sadly shouldn't be as unusual as it is, but is nice regardless.
I don't usually go for horror, because I'm a big baby, but I didn't really have much trouble reading Katalepsis. What horror there is is more of the existential sort, not much in terms of gore or body horror, so depending on where you're at it could be less scary than average or significantly scarier. For me, though, the tone was not the kind of overwhelmingly terrifying nihilism that you usually get with the more eldritch stories – there's a nice throughline of warmth and humanity throughout the entire story, and a rejection of that kind of attitude at one point that had me punching the air in satisfaction. Heather in particular is someone who has every right to be beaten down and bitter but still manages to be incredibly warm and caring while still having a spine, which I found very endearing.
As mentioned above, all of the primary cast of Katalepsis so far are some form of gay, and that too is handled well. It's not exclusively a romance, but romance plays a big part in the story, and it's very cute and authentically-written. Heather is . . . incredibly horny, but it's not fetishised or treated weirdly. Her relationship with Raine, one of the other protagonists, is also nice in that it's allowed to veer close to being unhealthy without passing some massive judgement or making it A Thing. When people say 'let women and queers be messy', this is what it should mean (as opposed to what it normally means, which is 'don't persecute me for being a pedophile', but that's a whole other thing). The cast is very small, but delightful charming in almost every aspect, varied in personality and vibes. I'm having trouble picking a favourite, which is unusual for me, but if you put a gun to my head I'd have to go with Evelyn, the shitty, bitchy, haughty mage of the group, but Twil, the chavvy teenage swearwolf, would probably come in a close second.
On the subject of characters, though, the one thing I would say about Katalepsis is that it is a very white story. I'm not entirely sure there's been a single non-white character in the entire story, and if there has, they were minor enough that I completely missed their appearance. Considering that Katalepsis is very good about other kinds of rep, it's a bit disappointing. It's not justification to rain fire down on it from above or anything, but as someone who was otherwise quite catered to by the story, it sucks. Unfortunately, though, getting used to that particular bugbear is something you have to do a lot in the modern media environment, so it didn't affect my enjoyment of the story too much (even though I kind of wish I was spoiled for choice enough that it did).
Regardless, Katalepsis is still an excellent story, with lengthy and consistent updates, and definitely worth your time, unless you're gonna be weird about lesbians in which case go away.

Hamlin earns 5th win of season; Johnson takes over points lead
JIMMY GOLENASSOCIATED PRESS
Denny Hamlin won at New Hampshire on Sunday for his Sprint Cup Series-leading fifth victory of the year.
LOUDON, N.H. — Denny Hamlin stepped out of his car, pointed into the air and took a mighty swing of an invisible baseball bat. Like Babe Ruth did before him (or so the legend goes), Hamlin had called his shot.
The top winner in NASCAR's regular season earned his series-leading fifth victory of the year Sunday, backing up a tweet of "We will win" with a mistake-free and dominating run at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the second event of the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
"You don't want to sound too cocky, but I knew what we were capable of," said Hamlin, who was 32nd in qualifying after his crew put the wrong pressure in his tires. "I know we made a couple of big mistakes, but I said we were fast enough to make it up and we did."
It was the 100th career victory for team owner Joe Gibbs, who won three Super Bowls as the coach of the Washington Redskins. And it came with a little teamwork, too, when Kyle Busch slowed down to help suck some debris off the front of Hamlin's car and propel him to victory.
"As fast as he was, he could have gone to the back of any car and pulled that off," said Jimmie Johnson, who finished second and took over the Chase lead. "I kind of thought he would be the guy to beat and he certainly was. We are second-best."
Johnson will head into Dover, Del. — one of his top tracks — one point ahead of Chicago winner Brad Keselowski, who was sixth Sunday. Jeff Gordon, who was the last man to qualify for the Chase, was third.
"We had a great race car," said Johnson, a five-time NASCAR season champion, "just not an amazing car like the No. 11 did here (Sunday)."
Hamlin improved to third in the Chase, seven points behind Johnson, despite a tumultuous week that began with him running out of gas in Chicago and continued when his crew used race pressure instead of qualifying pressure in his tires Friday.
Hamlin also had problems with his crew here in July, when confusion during a tire change dropped him into traffic and left him scurrying to get back to the front of the field.
But he was confident enough on this track, where now he has five top-five finishes in his last seven races, that he told a group of U.S. National Guardsmen during a publicity trip to New Hampshire earlier this month that would be back to share a few beers in Victory Lane.
And despite finishing 16th in Chicago, Hamlin tweeted: "This is week 1 of 10. We will win next week."
Hamlin had the fastest car in both practices, but the mistake in qualifying had him starting near the back of the field. Hamlin said he came to the track Sunday with the goal of getting into the top 10 by the 100th lap.
He did better than that, taking the lead on the 94th lap and holding it for 193 laps in all.
"He was the class of the field from the time we unloaded," said Clint Bowyer, who finished fourth and is tied for fifth in the Chase. "I don't know what they figured out, but they figured it out in a big way."
Hamlin, who won in New Hampshire in 2007, led for 150 laps here in July before a miscommunication with crew chief Darian Grubb over whether to change two tires or four cost him a chance at another win. Then, in the Chase opener in Chicago last week, he finished 16th after his crew failed to fill up his tank on the final pit stop.
But Hamlin remained confident, in person and on Twitter, and Gibbs said that spilled over to a crew that was frustrated over its own mistakes.
"That meant a lot to his team. And I think the way you handle things like that, being the guy that's wheeling the car, I think is a big deal," Gibbs said, commending Grubb as well. "Those guys are going to remember the way they were treated and I think they would die for them both."
The biggest threat for Hamlin on Sunday was a plastic bag that was sucked onto the front of his car, blocking part of the air intake, with about one-third of the race to go. Busch, who had blown a cylinder and is not a part of the Chase, slowed down to allow his teammate to come up behind him.
The turbulence between the cars blew the debris off, and Hamlin was back on his way.
"No matter how fast your car is in practice, it's no guarantee for the race," Hamlin said. "And so I was a little nervous about that and how the conditions were going to change.
"But Darian obviously gave me a lightning fast car (Sunday). For me, my job was relatively easy: Just make sure that I didn't make any enemies on the way to the front."


The Constant Camber (CC) construction method of creating curved plywood sheets on a single mold is efficient for multihulls as all of the hulls can be built on just one mold. The layered veneers are infused with epoxy creating strong, monocoque, virtually weather-tight hulls. We offer plans for Constant Camber dinghies, trimarans, and catamarans.
Constant Camber is an outside-in building method that results in a "molded plywood" boat. Unlike conventional molds, an individual CC mold can produce many different hulls within a limited length range. In fact, the 'mold' is actually a laminating form.
Full or partial length panels are laminated from veneer or plywood strips and glued with epoxy to produce frameless, two-piece hulls from a single unilateral mold. Series production of panels is made possible by the geometric elimination of "spiling" the individual laminating components. Patented by Jim Brown, this constant spile of each plank eliminates the labor-intensive hand fitting of pieces as they are applied to the mold. Panels can be assembled with various adhesives using either staples or vacuum bag for pressure while the adhesive cures. Vacuum bagging is the preferred method since it is faster and achieves a higher quality laminate with less adhesive and no staples in the middle of the panel. Unlike the complex vacuum pressure methods used in the aerospace industry, our vacuum bagging method is a fairly simple process requiring only common materials, most of which can be purchased at the local hardware store.
Dimensional stability is achieved without an internal skeleton by slightly torturing the compound panels during hull assembly which imparts "pre-stressed eggshell rigidity" to the panels. The resulting structure has extremely high strength for low weight and no flat areas. Most material is relegated to the skin, thus gaining adequate skin thickness that achieves good insulation and high impact/puncture resistance. Building a dimensionally perfect hull is accomplished without "framing up"; the mold and panels are self-fairing. Hull shape is established by the mold geometry plus the mating perimeters of the panels. Panels are also used for decks, wing fairings and cabins where appropriate on some designs.
Vessels that have been designed for this method range from extremely elemental Third-World sailing workboats to sophisticated high-performance yachts. Rigs, sails and outfitting are designed to appropriate standards. Furthermore, this design approach is seen as a means by which the larger multihull builder, and the small custom boat shop, can both be made viable in the marketplace. Panels may be laminated by individuals wishing to build only their own boats (at a mold investment of less than the cost of framing up the hulls) but with the important option of being able to produce more panels for other builders. Alternately, the mold and vacuum system can be sold to the next builder to return the investment.
Each CC plans package includes a complete set of working drawings, a list of veneer suppliers, our descriptive Panelmaking how-to booklet, our Liquid Joinery epoxy how-to booklet, and our Standard Details outfitting booklet. I'll also include some other helpful articles on stainless steel rigging, making metal parts, anchoring. Consultation, to a reasonable extent, is included in the design fee to assure the successful completion of each vessel. Preparation and submission of all documents for U.S. Coast Guard certification for carrying passengers for hire is also included with plans for commercial vessels.

All-girl band gaining popularity
April 6, 2016 By Kevin Weiss
A group of 13- to 15-year-old Tampa girls are turning heads in the local music scene.
Extra Celestial, an all-girl band made up of vocalist Casey Banales, 14; guitarist Devyn Dacus, 15; bassist Caitlin McHale, 15; and drummer Anabella Vivero, 13, will be performing several live shows in the next two months.
They'll be at Skipper's Smokehouse on April 8, the Hard Rock Café on April 30 and The Orpheum on May 14.

The band, formed in August by Jim Chambers of Jim Chambers Music Box, is also working on recording its first single, "Restart."
Chambers, a former 15-year record executive who won three Grammys with Maroon 5, the Dave Matthews Band and Flyleaf, had been trying to put an all-female band together for some time.
"I had worked with them in the past," said Chambers, who works closely with three other bands. "I finally was able to assemble them.
"I think they're the only all-female band in Tampa. Each of them do have (good) qualities; they all play very well."
The band, described as "alternative rock with pop leanings," mainly plays cover songs from the 1980s to contemporary.
Some of their favorite tracks to perform include "Helter Skelter" by The Beatles, "Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar and "Exes and Ohs" by Elle King.
"We don't really stick to one specific area of music. We kind of just do everything," said McHale, a sophomore at Steinbrenner High School who's played bass for two years.

While it's "much easier" for the band to learn cover songs, the group also has its eyes set on creating a few more singles, and possibly creating an EP, extended play.
Their single, which they'll record in a studio on April 17, was written by Banales and riffed by Dacus. The process of crafting the single to make it "sound good" took about a month, band members said.
"I think it will be easier now to put out more (songs) since we understand the process of songwriting more," McHale said.
The band, which typically rehearses twice a week, has developed a close camaraderie since forming several months ago.
"I think it's because we're all from different cliques at school," explained Banales, a freshman at Cambridge Christian High School. "Like, we're all so different that we get along so well; none of us are alike each other."
Despite being the lead vocalist, Banales was initially hesitant about joining a band.
"One of the reasons I didn't want to be in a band was because I don't like having to get to know new people," she said. But, she said her mom encouraged her, saying: "'Do it. You'll like it."
So, Banales decided to give it a try and discovered she liked it.
"They're all actually really cool," she said, referring to her band mates.
Over time, the group has become closer through learning to communicate and express opinions with one another.
Also helping the band's development is Chambers' vast experience throughout the music industry, which included stints at Sony/BMG and VH1.
"I just show them how to navigate that process…and manage them, like, 'How do you make a flyer, how do you use social media,'" Chambers said. … "It's really 'Record Label 101' and 'Band Management 101,' too."
"It's good to have someone tell you what you're doing wrong just because sometimes we don't notice…when it sounds bad or off," McHale said.
According to Chambers, pitching a young band to certain venues can be a tough sell — until management witnesses their talent and the ensuing crowds the group draws to their shows.
"It's a big deal Skipper's is allowing them to perform on a Friday night," Chambers said, emphatically. "Often…you see a young band and you're like, 'Okay, we've seen this show before.' But, our bands kick (butt); it's like, 'Whoa, they're quite good.'
"It's a really tough pitch, but when you bring 300 people, they're like, 'Oh, he wasn't kidding.' I did that on a Sunday with them," he said.
While the band was initially nervous when they first had to perform in front of a live audience, the group now has no problem headlining on a big stage.
"When there's a lot of people, I don't get as nervous," Banales said.
Dacus agreed, saying, "When you're around people you don't know, it's kind of easier."
With youth and potential on their side, Extra Celestial has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.
"I would love to do it professionally," McHale said. "I don't know if that's where it's going to go, but I think that would be pretty cool. I'd love to do that."

Meeting the Poorest with Caroline Lucas MEP
The greatest tragedy that has befallen democracy is politics. The primary aim of political parties is to be elected. The secondary aim of political parties is to make a difference to the people whom they represent. Every town, every city, every ward within every town and city has an elected MP. Yet, there are so many people who feel distant or even excluded from the political process. At some point, perhaps it took place a long time ago, a chasm emerged between elected representatives and the people they represent, their constituency. The sense of despair at the political process was, this year, heightened by the MPs expenses scandal.
However, the most excluded people of all from the political process are those whose votes are seldom sought, those who perhaps wouldn't even think of voting, those who feel they do not even have a voice. One of these groups, without a doubt, is the very poor, excluded and marginalised from society. One of these groups is the homeless and in Brighton the Soup Run serves many of them.
The Conservative Party talk of a 'broken society' and, of course, we do live in a broken society. Indeed, we live in a broken World. We live in a World in which families break up. We live in a World in which individuals break up. We live in a World in which whole communities break up. We live in a World in which real compassion is scarce. We live in a World in which people actually have to shout, or even scream in order to be given respect and dignity. Yet, if people are treated with a lack of respect or dignity for long enough, or their opinions or voices go unsought, they are very soon rendered silent. Who will stand up for them? Who will listen to them? Who will assure them that they are valued by society, not because they are vote winners, not because they help win elections, but because they are human beings with inalienable, inviolable rights.
The homeless, I am sure, do not want special treatment, but merely to be recognised as valued human beings in a truly inclusive society in which every human being is entitled to and given, respect. They seldom receive it, of course, but it is the very poorest in society who have the most to tell society and those who represent communities either in Parliament or in Brussels, about what kind of society we live in.
If a truly just society is to be built, it must be built from the bottom up. That is how we build a house and that is how we should build a just society on firm foundations. If those who are at the bottom of society, the poorest, the homeless, the very vulnerable are not heard then those at the top of society, the politicians, who are called to serve the people, rather than master them, will be unable to enact just laws or represent a whole community.
Caroline Lucas, Green MEP and Green candidate for Brighton Pavillion tonight met with the homeless served by St Mary Magdalen Soup Run. For that willingness to meet the homeless at the Peace Statue, she should be commended for being willing to listen and learn from the poorest in society. The homeless are not necessarily 'vote winners' since they are so often condemned by their poverty, blamed by society, ignored by society, or even persecuted by society. Caroline Lucas MEP, should be commended for listening and learning about all the issues which the homeless face, day in, day out, week in, week out, about how the Council treat them, about how the 'local connection' policy impedes their ability to be housed, about how they are treated by Government agencies who do not recognise their dignity as human beings. If human rights are to be truly respected for all of society, if Brighton is to be a truly 'inclusive' society then Brighton must include the very poor and the homeless. These rights which are inviolable must be respected for the poorest in society.
Caroline Lucas said she would like to come back and meet the homeless again very soon.
What about getting her along to an abortion house, will she be inside with those who kill or outside with those praying?
Laurence England said…
As it stands there is nobody praying outside abortion centre in Brighton.
I was wondering about how to convince politicians of the right to life of the unborn.
Perhaps we could turn up at a clinic and we could say. "Hello. Can you show us the contents of your bins outside. We'll take pictures."
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/mar/04/vatican-gay-sex-scandal
So.... The Vatican have been using donations to procure male prostitutes. Talk about your radical gay agendas! Boo, clean out the corrupted officials
Sounds like it hasn't been 'the Vatican' itself, but a lay man. Lay man in gay shock.
How shocking...
Regarding the story of the service veterans on the seafront. I know someone was asking for an update.
They are back outside the club. Roger is ex-paras, was at Goose Green. He said he is peeing blood and was at the hospital yesterday. His mate Terry is not ex-army. His other mate Perry was beaten up by the police yesterday. They come to the soup run so you should be able to make contact. Roger is 63 and quite heavily built, wears a dark grey overcoat.

James McAvoy Explains Why Oblivion Made Him Take A 10-Year Gaming Hiatus
When you're on set, you need to find ways to keep yourself entertained and for James McAvoy, while he was filming in Ireland, he played a lot of video games... or rather, one game in particular — The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. James was in Dublin filming Becoming Jane nearly 15 years ago and because of an incident with the disc, it turned him off gaming for a very, very long time.
He was recently chatting to Forbes and confessed he had become a little too obsessed with the game which he started playing when his then partner had gifted him an Xbox 360 and The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, as he'd always been into role-playing games as a kid.
However, he enjoyed playing it so much he was playing it well into the early hours of the morning even on the nights he had work the next day.

He explains: 'So I'm over there in Dublin. I'm, like, having to go to bed at 10pm, because I'm getting up at 6am every morning, and I've got tons of lines, and all that kind of stuff. And I'm just staying up until four in the morning just playing Oblivion. And I was thinking, "This game is sending me to Oblivion."
'[One night/morning] my car beeped its horn outside at, like, 5:45. And I'm like, "Oh my god, I need to do something." So I got up and I got the disc out of the Xbox 360 and I turned the gas hob on. I just put the disc on it and just watched it sort of, like, singe and melt a little bit. And I was like, "Right, we're done. We're over, never again!"'

It was such a profound moment for James that he actually stopped gaming for 10 years but has returned to it again but chooses his outlets more carefully, like FIFA and Warzone.
James actually hails video games as a life-saver during the pandemic as it enabled him to spend more time with his mates than he would have usually, as they all get together to play Warzone and get 'absolutely annihilated by 12-year-old children from other countries'.

Top Nurses in the Nation Turn to Incredible Health to Plan and Manage Their Careers
By: Iman Abuzeid, MD
Despite the nation's demand for qualified, permanent nurses among one of the worst labor shortages in history, nurses consistently report long timelines in their job search and difficulty finding the right role. Even worse, they often never hear back from health systems they have applied to, despite the urgent need for nurses.
Nurses are the backbone of our health system and they deserve a partner that helps them succeed at every step in their careers – whether it is kicking off the job search, fulfilling their continuing education courses, or understanding potential opportunities. That's why nurses across the nation are turning to Incredible Health. We enable nurses to quickly find their dream permanent roles and get support in planning and managing their careers, while also helping health systems hire and retain top talent.
We're excited to share that in the last 12 months alone, the number of nurses on our platform has tripled. Not only are we attracting nurses in volume; we're also helping the highest qualified nurses in the nation to manage their careers and get hired in top permanent roles:
Two-thirds (66%) have three or more certifications compared to the national average of 40%
Nurses have an average of 11 years of experience, and 38% have more than 10 years of experience.
Nurses hold an average of three certifications, including certifications for key specialties like ICU and OR, with some nurses having as many as 15 certifications.
67% of nurses are trained in at least one of 45 specialties, including the ICU, OR, Emergency, Cardiac Cath Lab, and Labor & Delivery. 14% of nurses are managers.
61% of nurses hold a BSN degree or higher, which is particularly important for Magnet-designated hospitals that are part of Incredible Health's platform.
Nurses reviewed by Incredible Health's network of over 500 hospital partners receive an average of 3 interview requests from employers, with an interview request being sent every 90 seconds.
Challenging the status quo
At Incredible Health, we flip the script. Hospitals apply to nurses, not the other way around, allowing busy nurses to interview at multiple health systems, complete thorough job searches, and confidently choose their new role. Nurses using Incredible Health get hired three times faster than national averages – in under 20 days.
Our innovative platform is free for all nurses, who can use it as a one-stop shop to find their dream permanent roles and plan and manage their careers. We are constantly adding and updating features to our platform. A few nurse favorites include:
Salary Estimator – Incredible Health's Salary Estimator, based on real-time data from the marketplace, helps give nurses a better idea of what they should expect to make based on geography and specialty, further enabling nurses to make more informed career decisions.
Free Continuing Education Courses – Incredible Health offers 100+ premium American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) accredited continuing education units (CEU's) free of charge to ensure nurses are always up to date with their licensing requirements, and to ease their financial burden of the $240 million spent annually by U.S. nurses out of pocket for continuing education.
Nurse Community & mental health tools – Two features added during the pandemic include the Incredible Health Nurse Community, a social network community built exclusively for nurses, and the Daily Nurse Journal, a digital journaling platform. These products were designed to help nurses build community, seek support and advice, and reflect on their workdays to help combat the high stress and burnout that is pervasive in the field.
Personal Talent Advocate – Each nurse on the platform is paired with a Personal Talent Advocate who can provide interview coaching, share resume tips, and help evaluate their job offers.
Mobile-optimized nurse onboarding – Nurses can take advantage of iOS, Android, and mobile web applications to make it even easier to use Incredible Health and find and do their best work.
"When I last applied for a job 17 years ago, it was through someone I knew. It is quite intimidating to start the process of finding a new role, no matter how much experience you have, and Incredible Health did all the heavy lifting for me," said Kim Mctamney, RN. "I was looking for a NICU job and in less than a month on Incredible Health, I got the staff job offer for exactly what I was looking for."
Top Hospitals Use Incredible Health to Hire Top Nurses
Incredible Health's solution helps nurses find more fulfilling positions and stay in them longer, a value hospitals recognize. When nurses are happier and hospitals have fewer staff shortages, patients get higher quality care.
Earlier this year, we announced that 60% of the top-ranked hospitals in the United States work with Incredible Health for their permanent staffing needs. Our network of hospitals also benefits from a 15% higher retention rate with nurses hired through Incredible Health compared to nurses hired through traditional channels at one year.
Our network of employers includes academic medical centers, community hospitals, and major health systems, including Johns Hopkins Health System, Stanford Health Care, Kaiser Permanente, and HCA Healthcare. Hospitals on our platform include both union and non-union hospitals, academic and community hospitals, as well as Magnet and Non-Magnet designated hospitals.
We started Incredible Health because we believed nurse hiring was fundamentally inefficient for both nurses and health systems. Our mission from day one is to help healthcare workers find and do their best work, and we see this as another milestone in realizing our goals.
Are you a nurse looking to take your career to the next level? Sign up here. Our career tools are always free for nurses.
Are you a health system interested in how Incredible Health can increase retention and shorten your permanent nurse hiring to 20 days or less? Sign up for a free consultation here.

Last weekend Tori was in Venice for a destination wedding, bridal hair and makeup. We absolutely love travelling for weddings as it's such a great excuse to explore some beautiful cities and towns around the world! This was our first trip to Venice and it certainly didn't disappoint. Offering some challenges that other cities don't we had to pack particularly light for Venice as there was no direct transfer from the airport to the hotel. In a city where your only option is the water bus (which gets very busy!) or on foot you definitely don't want to be weighed down by a huge suitcase! We were fortunate enough to arrive the day before the wedding with a little time to explore this beautiful city! While we wait for the official pics from the trip here's a few from out Instagram Stories over the weekend.

It takes me a while to put these together and it's a bit of a tedious process, so if you commented on my other journal to be featured, please take a look at everyone else's work too. After all, it's only fair that way and if you don't, it's just a little selfish and your conscience will bug you . So yah, share the love, guys!

Bytes from Bradley, Arkansas, and thereabouts
Bradley Justice, 1954
Buck Camp has been kind enough to allow me to pass on his reminiscences of getting a traffic ticket in Bradley when he was only 14 years old. Incredible as it may seem, at that time it was possible in Arkansas for a 14–year-old to obtain a completely unrestricted driver's license.
Buck writes:
"[The first ticket] I got, I was fourteen years old. Dad had started letting me use the Jeep regularly [ …I got my full driver's license at age fourteen in Arkansas, and the jeep was an Army surplus 1943 Ford], and I had gotten pretty good as I learned to drive that 'mean machine' on gravel and in the mud as well as on 'blacktop' (asphalt). I learned that in loose gravel, for instance, that I could, at slow to moderate speeds, downshift, turn the wheels slightly, apply the brakes, correct the steering forward, and go into what I called a 'four-wheel drift.' Well, one night right after dark on the gravel road outside Bradley, I approached a stop sign at a 'tee' intersection where the old gravel road met the new blacktop highway coming from Bradley. I could see both ways, and the only car in sight was about a half mile away coming from Bradley on the blacktop towards the intersection. Applying the cool 'four wheel drift' tactics I had just learned, I simply 'slud' in the gravel sideways and through the stop sign at probably ten miles per hour, screeched and lurched onto the blacktop, and headed toward Bradley and the oncoming car. Sure enough, as I got closer to the approaching car, he turned on his red light (they were red, not blue 'in the old days') and with my luck it was the only State Trooper in Lafayette County — he stopped me right in the middle of the highway and asked what in the heck I thought I was doing. I got a stern lecture, my very first traffic ticket, and was told that I had to appear before the local 'magistrate' in Bradley. The magistrate (a part-time job) just happened to be George Bell, who also happened to be my Scoutmaster and the owner of Bell's General Store at Walnut Hill two miles from Bradley (small towns are small worlds!). Needless to say, my Dad was not pleased, but, being my Dad (and he was also the Mayor who appointed George Bell to his post as Magistrate!), he went with me to "court," which was in a room at Tyler's Gulf gasoline station to appear before "Magistrate Bell." I was shaking like a leaf, afraid I'd have to go to the 'Bradley jail;' but no, my fine was five dollars, which was a lot of money in those days for a fourteen year old (hamburgers were a quarter and cokes were a nickel!), and I didn't have it … my Dad (thank goodness) paid it for me [I didn't want to go to the infamous Bradley jail] … but he got it out of me later, and a lot more….!!!!
By way of explanation, the 'Bradley jail' was a wooden structure built on the east side of the railroad tracks near the water tower. It was basically a wooden building about 10 by 15 feet square with a concrete floor. The walls and ceiling were 2×4's nailed together to make a "wall" four inches thick (lumber was cheap in those days), and it had a tin roof that got really hot in the summer time. There was no 'office' or 'jailer' nearby; the constable simply took people there, locked them up with (literally!) a bucket of drinking water and an empty pail for "excretion," and they just had to stay there till someone from the Sheriff's office in Lewisville 23 miles away came to pick them up. And if they were forgotten at meal time, well … they just shouldn't have done something bad in the first place. It was not the kind of place you wanted to go for even a short stay!!!!"
The 'Bradley jail' of which Buck writes is one and the same as the Bradley 'Calaboose' referred to in the 11/7/07 post on this site. The new blacktop highway to which Buck refers is Highway 29, which underwent some minor rerouting and was paved in 1954.
Many thanks to Buck for his generosity in sharing this piece with the readers of this site.

George Bell, Scoutmaster of Troop 72
I received an e-mail from Don C. Barnett, who had read the 5/12/08 post on George Bell and the Bradley Pioneer. Don wrote:
"Thanks for your posting about Mr. Bell and the 'Bradley Pioneer.' I enjoyed it very much. It does bring fond memories of George W. Bell. Mr. Bell was Scoutmaster of Troop 72 for a number of years, when I was a Scout. One of the places the Scouts would camp was in a wooded area behind his home at Walnut Hill. I will never forget being around a campfire, before "Taps" and Mr. Bell would recite from memory the poem, 'The Cremation of Sam McGee,' by Robert Service. The hair on the back of your neck would stand up.
I know Mr. Bell helped a number of Scouts to do the right things in life and we all are better persons because of George W. Bell."
The poem to which Don refers concludes with these lines:
… The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.

Whatever happened to … the Bradley Pioneer?
I recently received an e-mail from Buck Camp, who is the son of the late J. W. "Buck" Camp, Sr., longtime Mayor of Bradley about 40–50 years ago. Buck asks: "Does anyone know if any issues of the Bradley Pioneer newspaper, edited and published in the 1960s by George Bell … are in a library collection or if any still exist?" The short answer to Buck's question is an emphatic "Yes." And, like many parts of Bradley's history, therein lies a tale…
George Bell, shown below in 1971, published the Bradley Pioneer from 1960 to 1976. The only two photographs I could find of George are not very good photos. One is slightly out-of-focus and the other suffers from badly deteriorated 35mm slide film.
For almost all of the sixteen years the Pioneer was published, George prepared it on a Linotype machine. The picture below is of very poor quality, but it shows George at work in 1968 on that cumbersome apparatus.
A Linotype machine is just that. The operator types in one line of type at a time. The machine forms a mold for that line of type. The machine then pours hot lead into the mold, which cools to make the actual print that is struck by the ink of the printing press. Once done, the lead goes back into the hot lead pot to be melted and reused.
Shortly after George ceased publishing the Pioneer in 1976, the late Dr. John Ferguson, Executive Director of the Arkansas State History Commission, visited him. Dr. Ferguson asked George if the History Commission could microfilm the issues of the Pioneer that George still had. George replied that he was willing for the issues to be microfilmed, but that sorting sixteen years of issues would be next to impossible.
I heard about Dr. Ferguson's visit and its unsuccessful outcome, and volunteered to help George in the sorting of the back issues of the paper. Perhaps the word "volunteer" isn't entirely accurate, because I did demand one form of payment for my efforts.
George kept his back issues of the paper in the back room of his building. Sixteen years of issues had been stacked haphazardly during that time into daunting piles, many of which were even taller than I am. Apparently, George would place a few back issues of each week's edition onto whatever pile was smallest. This went on for sixteen years. It was a rather large room, roughly 16 feet by 20 feet, and it was crammed with back issues.
For two very long days, George and I, with an assist from Ricky Kennedy, sorted back issues. We got some saw horses and sheets of plywood and made makeshift tables for sorting. We first sorted papers by year of publication and then by issue number. Of course, most of the issues had many more copies than we needed.
It turned out that George had saved all but 8 to 10 issues of the Pioneer published during those sixteen years. Those were boxed up and Dr. Ferguson later picked them up, took them to Little Rock for microfilming, and returned them to George. My "price" for assisting George in sorting the back issues was that he would give me the second most complete set. There were about a half-dozen issues for which only one copy had been saved, so my set was missing around 15 issues total.
I later donated my set to the Southwest Arkansas Regional Archives, known as SARA, in Washington, Arkansas. To the best of my knowledge, they are still there today and open to inspection by the public. SARA's web site is www.southwestarchives.com. SARA is now a branch of the Arkansas State History Commission.
When I was last in the offices of the Arkansas State History Commission (www.ark-ives.com) in Little Rock about three years ago, an attendant showed me the four microfilm rolls of the Bradley Pioneer. At that time, copies of each roll could be purchased for $75 each. Like everything else, though, I suspect that the price has increased since that time.

Letter from an American Hero (Part 2 of 2)
I asked Glynn McCalman, Clyde Vernon McCalman's brother, to write a paragraph or so describing Clyde as he was before he entered the U. S. Army, and Glynn was kind enough to provide the following:
"Clyde Vernon McCalman was born June 13, 1923, to Odell and Gertrude McCalman at their farm home on the old Shreveport Road south of Walnut Hill. He and his brothers, Marvin, Byrd and Glynn, attended school at Bradley, where Clyde excelled academically and socially.
Clyde continued to excel as a student at Ouachita College during the early years of World War II. He was exempted from service in the war because of his status as an ordained minister, but he was uncomfortable with that exemption. After the death of a close cousin, neighbor and friend, Harland Bird, in a bombing raid over Germany, he felt compelled to offer himself in the conflict.
He volunteered for service in the Army on March 17, 1944, and was killed on the same day one year later, March 17, 1945, in the final weeks of the war in Europe. The letter (in the previous post) was written in the month preceding the month of his death."
Thanks to Glynn McCalman for providing the above information. For any reader of this site who may not already be aware of it, Glynn is a Bradley area historian and the author of two books on local history: Bradley Connections and Walnut Hill And Somewhere Else.
Clyde's letter touches on several aspects of an infantryman's life during active combat, such as the simple pleasure of sleeping inside a building. Perhaps it may be useful to add a clarifying comment to some passages from the letter.
There is a reference in the first paragraph to someone named Hogue. I have no idea who this was, other than someone who was obviously a mutual acquaintance of Clyde and my father.
The third paragraph of the letter refers to the "big German counterattack" and the awful winter weather. This is a reference to what we now call the Battle of the Bulge, which began shortly before Christmas in 1944. It was Hitler's last serious attempt to break out of the encirclement into which the Allied advances had forced him.
The fourth paragraph of the letter states that "It was my division which cut off the Cherbourg Penninsula and took 1/4 of all prisoners taken on Cherbourg." This refers to combat operations shortly after D-Day, June 6, 1944, when the Allies landed on the beaches of Normandy in France. Cherbourg, with its fine port facilities which the Allies coveted and which the Germans were determined to defend long enough to destroy, was taken on June 30, 1944.
Clyde states in the letter that he has "five months of combat behind me," so it is doubtful that he was personally engaged in active combat during the Cherbourg operations. Indeed, that would have occurred only a little more than three months after his enlistment in the U. S. Army. It does, however, provide an idea of how long his unit had been actively engaged with the Germans. Another indication of constant attack operations by the U. S. Army can be found in the comment in the next-to-last paragraph that "We have not been farther back than our own artillery since early October."
It is ironic that Clyde's letter states that he had "a comparitively soft job – mil clerk and administrative assistant to the 1st Sgt," yet he was killed in action a little more than one month later. This is perhaps an indication of the ferocity of the fighting, the urgency to maintain the attack, and the need for every soldier, including the ones with a "comparatively soft job," to actively participate in the fighting.
Pfc. Clyde Vernon McCalman's remains were temporarily interred at Henri-Chapelle in Belgium and were later moved to the Walnut Hill Cemetery. Below is an image of the foot marker on his grave:

Clyde Vernon McCalman was the son of Mr. R. Odell McCalman and Mrs. Gertrude McCalman. He was born on June 13, 1923. In February of 1945, he was serving as a Private First Class with the United States Army on its final push into Nazi Germany. On February 6, 1945, he wrote the following letter to Frank M. Cochran, Jr., who was serving with the United States Army in the Pacific theater. A verbatim transcription of the letter follows the images.
Dear Frank M;
Recieved your letter of Dec. 27 today and was very glad to hear from you again. Had a brief letter from Hogue recently saying you had moved but didn't know you were in Air Corps.
To be sure things are pretty rough over here but so far as I am personally concerned I can not complain — naturally, with five months of combat behind me, as an infantryman I have had some close calls — God has been good to me.
I find it amazing how much a fellow can take when the chips are down —the big German counterattack was bad enough without the 20 degrees below weather and snow about 3 or 4 ft. deep usually. For the past few days our Ninth Div has been making the headlines — as it did in Africa, Sicily, France, Belgium, and now Germany — It was my division which cut off the Cherbourg Penninsula and took 1/4 of all prisoners taken on Cherbourg.
We got quite a bit of "loot" off of prisoners — I sent a good German compass home yesterday for which I was offered $10. Could easily have sold it for twice that much.
Also, I have a fine 120 bass accordian which one of my buddies captured and made me a present of — as good or better than my own for which I paid $325.
It is quite a source of pleasure to us when we get our occassional rest. I drag it out and we have a song fest even though the Jerries may be only a couple of miles away— (We have not been farther back than our own artillery since early October.) I can play the accordian quite well now — even more tunes than I can on the piano.
I "lasted long enough" to rate a comparitively soft job — mil clerk and administrative assistant to the 1st Sgt. My candle is about burned out so I had better hit the hay — Am sleeping in a building tonight for a change. That is the good part about being in Germany —
Clyde Mc."
On March 17, 1945, exactly one year after he enlisted in the U. S. Army, and exactly 39 days after he wrote this letter, Pfc. Clyde Vernon McCalman was killed in action in Germany. He was 21 years old.

Pre-requisite for this course is Gold and Silversmithing 3A1 Vart 3424.
This course is a work integrated learning course. The key feature of WIL courses is that learning experiences simulate the working life of professional practitioners. As such this course further develops you to a research based approach to silversmithing and its related practices by working as a practicing artist in a studio based learning context.
In third year, you are expected to develop a greater self-reliance in the making of individual aesthetic and expressive decisions. You are also encouraged to develop a personal aesthetic sensitivity in relation to specific projects. Thereafter, individual student programs will be developed in consultation with lecturers responsible for the third year program. Professional practice prepares students for their role as studio artists beyond university.
This course will help you develop the capability to find creative solutions to constraints and challenges that relate to silversmithing and 3D object making. In the process of making works you will further develop both your technical and conceptual skills through analytical thinking and visual perception to inform your creative practice and to continue a vision of art as a profession. Your learning experience will will involve liaisons with industry.
Demonstrated a high level of self-reliance, self discipline and self motivation in researching, organizing and executing an independently generated program of work.
Have achieved a high level of technical self-sufficiency, commensurate with an ability to work confidently as an independent practitioner.
Be able to initiate and pursue studies in directions which inform and further individual professional and creative growth and catalyse invention, innovation and refinement of personal work.
Based on experience gained in Gold and Silversmithing 2B2, the individual student's course is set at the beginning of the semester in consultation with lecturers responsible for the course. Students receive studio instruction and guidance on conceptual and aesthetic considerations, materials, processes and other relevant aspects from professional staff and are given regular individual tutorials. You will be given the opportunity to further develop competent and safe work practices, and to nurture independence and confidence in all aspects of your studio practice.
Professional practice activities include the gold and silversmithing annual auction, the graduating exhibition and graduating catalogue, aiming to provide students with a level of understanding in the areas relevant to future practice as a gold & silversmith.
You will have access to the full range of Gold and Silversmithing facilities in consultation with staff.
Assessment is based on the creation of a range of works that respond to your individual project brief and your ability to research and document that process. Your work should be submitted as a series of folios at the end of the semester. These folios should include finished works and documentation of the technical and conceptual processes used to develop those works. Feedback will be given on each project to help you track how your learning is progressing against the specified learning outcomes and capabilities for this course. You will also be assessed on your ability to review and critique your own works and the work of other practitioners.
Assessment will be conducted by a panel of Gold & Silversmithing staff with an external examiner. Your assessment will be moderated by your course co-ordinator in collaboration.


Kromlech has unleashed one of their Goblin kits, the Cannon Crew, as a separate addition to their webstore. So, if you have a lot of unmanned guns or indeed vehicles without a crew, you now have some cool options to consider.
The set comes with six goblins all doing something pesky. I particularly like the fellow with the spyglass looking out for enemies on the horizon and the poor fool who had to end up holding the ammo!
I still think that the idea of a full Grot/Gretchin army would be absolutely awesome for Warhammer 40,000. You could fill your army list with Killa Kans and such and then have the Grots/Grecthin clambering all over them as well as running around on the ground with their terrible weapons.
I'm not entirely sure how good of an army it would be, but it would look hilarious!
What do you think of this new Cannon Crew?
"I still think that the idea of a full Grot/Gretchin army would be absolutely awesome for Warhammer 40,000..."


If you haven't heard, I'm heading out on the road with Bob Schneider, The Avett Brothers, and Joan Osborne starting in February. I'm very excited to be playing with these great artists over the next couple of months. Be sure to check out the tour schedule to catch one of these awesome shows. See you soon!


Some scholars believe that the wisdom Solomon gained led him to grasp the fulfillment and meaning of a monogamous marriage. Unlike friendship, marriage is honored as a sacrament as it is a picture of God's relationship with the Church.
In Chapter 4, the author mentions the importance of friendship and now he discusses the importance of a spouse. Interestingly, he only mentions wife in the singular though it was well known that he had many.
Although the teacher reiterates our common destiny-death Ecclesiastes 9:12 it would be unwise to take it with the carpe diem attitude so commonly described in books and movies. Moses, David, and the Disciples all took a different approach to seizing the day by letting go of their perceived direction of life, and totally and completely following the Lord.
Reflect: For married women:how can you work to make your marriage more like Christ's love for the Church? For unmarried women: What are some additional qualities in Christ's marital relationship with the Church that you would like to see in your own marriage someday?

Q: Facebook marketing API - how to Copy Ads / creatives On facebook's documentation, in "What's New" they have a link titled "Copy and Reuse Ads with Ads Copy API." which leads to this.
Here, they have 3 links, all of them are currently broken.
My question is, how can I copy (and change) an ad, and more specifically, the ad's creative, which is immutable (therefore the need to copy instead of update)?

Update
At the time, we did get some information from our contact at Facebook. However, it meant this wasn't a good approach for us.
Also, there is now new documentation on copying ads, yet still it does not help us specifically, since it does not allow updating ad-creatives.
We've since abandoned this effort, and in fact, solve the problem by having Marketing personnel export the ads, update the field we needed by a script in an Excel file, then uploading back to Facebook.

A: The Ad Copy feature https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/buying-api/ad-units#ad-copies includes 3 kinds of copies, on campaign, ad set, or ad level. There is not an ad creative copy function.
And there probably should not. Ad creatives are immutable, as you know. So why you want to copy another immutable one, instead of using the existing one?
I assume your questions is about how to get the specs of an existing ad creative, modify the specs somehow, and use the new spec to create a new ad creative.
Then, how to get the specs of an existing ad creative: use "effective_object_story_id", which will always give you an id no matter the ad creative was created using an existing post (thus an id was provided) or from scratch (thus an object_story_spec was provided). Once you get that id, in the format of _, you can just query that id directly, using /v2.9/. Then you can get all the specs. Modify it, and create a new ad creative using those specs.
Yes, this is more work than just copy an ad creative. But I believe you are not actually asking for a copy.
Good luck.

Debugging isn't a problem. But it runs a older version, where i didn't implement the #getDst() and #getExePath(). These errors occur when building the project causing it to fail:

A: Thanks to Igor Tandetnik.
My problem was in my Utils.h.
new Utils.h:

    char* getCwd();
    std::string getExePath();

#endif

i forgot the std:: before the string. I also could just add using namespace std; in the Utils.h

With the live, musical stage production of Peter Pan airing on NBC on Thursday, and the recent release of the trailer for the upcoming adventure drama Pan – a re-imagined live-action version of J.M. Barrie's classic tale – it seems that America is once again experiencing full-blown Peter Pandemonium.
And why not? It's fun for the whole family, right? On the surface, Peter Pan is about a young boy leading his friends on the adventure of a lifetime. Like most children's stories, it's a cherished morality tale that teaches kids a lesson while keeping them entertained.
And, like most beloved children's stories, the familiar tale of Peter Pan is based on a book full of horrible murder and deeply traumatizing acts of depravity. Seriously, children's stories are messed up. To show you what we mean, here are seven beloved (Disney-adapted) tales of fun and adventure that are based on some of the most shocking, horrifying stories imaginable…
Peter Pan, the character, is always remembered as the lovable scamp who whisks children off from their homes and into a magical world of adventure. What people seem to forget about is all the hard-core murder.
In the books written by J.M. Barrie, when Wendy first flies to Neverland, Tinkerbell convinces one of the Lost Boys, named Tootles, that she's actually a bird that Peter wants killed, so he shoots Wendy with a bow and arrow, and she almost dies. Ashamed of his actions once he finds out the truth, Tootles begs Peter to kill him. These are children, mind you.
Also, at one point, the pirate Hook – a grown man in this universe – attempts to butcher Peter with his hook, and claws him badly. Peter lays on a rock as the tide comes in, waiting to either bleed to death, or drown. Again, Peter is a child. Just wanted to make that extra clear.
And, unlike in the Disney adaptation, Peter kicks Hook over the side of the boat and he is brutally eaten by the crocodile. All of these murder attempts overshadow all the many themes of racism and underage kidnapping that also seem to exist in every facet of the original story.
Hans Christian Andersen's original 1837 fairy tale The Little Mermaid is almost the exact same as Disney's adaption, minus the "love conquering evil" stuff, or any of the happiness.
In the original version, the potion that the Sea Witch gives the young princess makes her tail turn into legs, but walking on them causes horrifying agony, and feels like stepping on knife blades. Also, the Prince is a jerk who makes her dance for his amusement, despite the pain it causes her.
And if that's not disturbing enough, the Sea Witch's agreement dictates that if the Prince doesn't fall in love with her, the Little Mermaid will die and disintegrate into sea foam. And what do you know? The prince falls in love with some other random woman. The Little Mermaid is given a chance by the Sea Witch to kill the Prince and escape the punishment of the deal, but she loves him too much!
So she dies, and turns into sea foam. Sweet dreams, kids! Remember that love is fleeting and any attempts at happiness lead to death.
The Sleeping Beauty we all know is based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of the same name. That, in turn, is based on a story, published in 1634, by Giambattista Basile called Sun, Moon and Talia. To say it's dark is an understatement.
In Sun, Moon And Talia, the princess – known as Talia in this version – is put in a deep, magical sleep when she pricks herself with a flax splinter. After she goes into her mystical coma, her father abandon's the castle, leaving her there. Years later, a different king enters the castle and finds Talia unconscious. Unable to wake her, the king decided to have sex with her nearly lifeless body instead.
Talia gives birth to twins, who suck on her finger and happen to pull out the splinter (Was that really the solution? No one thought of that?) When she awakens, the rapist king returns and they bond over their mutual interests, such as his bastard children.
When the king's wife, the evil queen, learns of Talia and the two kids, she invites them over under a false pretense, and she kidnaps the babies. She tells the royal chef to kill the kids and make them into a meal for the king, so he will unknowingly eat his own children.
The chef hides the babies with his wife and cooks lamb instead, saving the children. The evil queen then tries to burn Talia at the stake, but the king – now the hero of this fable – saves Talia, and kills his wife instead.
In the Brothers Grimm version of Cinderella, known as Aschenputtel, there are a few minor differences from the Disney film that became a hit. First off, there's no fairy god mother. Instead, there is a magical wishing tree and some talking doves. Also, the slipper isn't glass, it is gold.
Oh, and to convince the Prince that the all-important footwear belonged to them, one evil step-sister saws off her heel until blood is pouring out of the slipper. The other step-sister slices off all of her toes. Neither attempt works.
Finally, when Aschenputtel and the Prince get married, the evil step-sisters serve as her bridesmaids in an attempt to win the favor of the future princess. But the wedding is interrupted by doves that fly down from heaven and brutally peck out the step-sisters' eyes. Good times.
This is yet another gruesome offering from the Brothers Grimm! When Disney adapted this iconic German fairy tale for their 1937 animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, they stayed close to the source material, only leaving out the more horrific depictions of torture and some of the darker details.
One major difference in the original Brothers Grimm story is that the Evil Queen was not Snow White's step-mother, but her biological mother. Snow White's own mother wanted to brutally murder her for being pretty. The Grimm brothers decided that this was too cruel even for their stories, and later made the Evil Queen Snow White's step-mother instead.
In the Disney version, the Evil Queen wants the Huntsman to cut out Snow White's beating heart – which is pretty gruesome for a Disney film. But the original still manages to top that. In the fairy tale, the Queen wants the Huntsman to cut out Snow White's lungs and liver so that the queen can cook and eat them.
Finally, in what is probably the creepiest difference, the Evil Queen doesn't fall to her death after being chased by the dwarfs. Instead, she's forced to put her feet in red-hot iron shoes and dance until she dies.
Tangled is Disney's adaptation of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale Rapunzel, and aside from the core concept of a girl with long, flowing hair who is locked in a tower by an evil witch, nothing else really stays the same. Which is probably a good thing, what with all the sex and maiming in the original version. Of all the stories in this list, Rapunzel is probably the tamest, but that's not saying much.
In the story, a prince is riding through the woods near Rapunzel's tower. The 12-year-old Rapunzel lets down her hair and he climbs into her room, where he proceeds to immediately ask for her hand in marriage. Weeks later, it's revealed that her dress is getting tight around her stomach – a subtle way of revealing that some random, roaming prince knocked up an obviously kidnapped pre-teen girl.
Eventually, the prince helps Rapunzel plan her escape. However, the evil witch discovers the plan, cuts off Rapunzel's hair and casts her out into the woods to die. When the prince shows up, ignorant to the turn of events, the witch throws down one end of Rapunzel's lopped-off hair, letting him climb up to the window. When he gets there, the witch shoves him off the tower and he falls into a bush of sharp thorns which gouge out his eyes.
In the end, he and Rapunzel find each other, and her tears of joy restore his eyesight – so that's nice. However, the witch dropped Rapunzel's hair out the window when she shoved the prince. Since the tower has no door and no stairs (people only got in through the window by climbing up Rapunzel's hair like a damn jungle gym) the evil witch starves to death – which was really her fault for building such a stupid tower in the first place.
As creepy as the Disney version of Pinocchio was – and it was, without a doubt, super creepy – it can't hold a candle to the deeply disturbing horror-fest that is the 1883 Carlo Collodi book The Adventures of Pinocchio.
The element that stands out the most about this Italian novel, which Collodi claimed was for children, is its intensely depressing subject matter. For instance, the lovable Jiminy Cricket, from the Disney version, is actually the ghost a dead cricket that Pinocchio stepped on, in the book.
Also, in the original story, there is a town called Catchfools, which is full of sad, dying animals such as starving dogs, freezing sheep, half-dead butterflies and a whole depressing menagerie of other hopeless creatures. In this town, any foolishness is punished with jail time, and Pinocchio is arrested and imprisoned as punishment for getting conned out of his only possessions. It's a truly terrible legal system.
In another dark scene, Pinocchio runs off with a young boy to Toyland, where an old man collects children by luring them with toys. Then, Pinocchio is turned into a donkey because this book hates children. As a donkey, he's eventually sold to a man who wants to skin him and turn him into a drum. The man tries to drown Pinocchio in the ocean, but carnivorous fish bite off all of his magical donkey flesh, turning Pinocchio back into a regular living marionette. Yay?
And all of this doesn't even begin to address the constant maiming, killing and torturing of animals. It happens so often that it seems to be the book's main motif. From a starving fox who cuts off his own tail to sell for food to a snake that laughs at Pinocchio's misfortune so hard it bursts an artery and dies, this is a wonderful book to read to your kids if you absolutely want them to grow up to become serial killers.

Denver bike-share company B-cycle wheels out of town, as others prepare to fill the gap
This city is used to change. Right?

David Sachs
After a decade, Denverites will no longer see the hefty, red B-cycle bikes being pedaled around town.
Competition from private electric scooter and bike companies, outdated tech, and dwindling ridership sunk the system. The city's legacy bike-share network will cease operations Friday.
It's a rough moment for Constantin Nickonov, who has logged tens of thousands of miles on B-cycle over the years, more than any other member. He doesn't know how he'll get around from now on.
"I have a car and stuff. I use the bus. I do have a mountain bike that I can use for coming into the city, but I haven't figured it out yet," he said. "It hasn't really hit me. Ask me tomorrow."
Denver's bike-share fleet — bicycles available to the public for a fee — will go from 987 to 250 overnight. It leaves a hole that the city government wants to fill with services from mobility companies, some of which already operate in Denver. Jump, an electric bike company owned by Uber, is now Denver's sole bike-share provider.
Transportation officials want to replace B-cycle with a hybrid bike- and scooter-share system.
The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure will ask mobility companies for proposals in early February, a spokesperson for the department said. They'll use a competitive bidding process to replace the current system, which is one of the oldest in the country. One or more bidders could be selected.
Lyft, Spin, Uber (which owns Jump) and VeoRide confirmed their interest in the contract to Denverite. Lime, Razor and Bird, three scooter companies that operate in Denver, have not stated whether they're interested.
Another interested company is Denver Bike Sharing, the nonprofit that partnered with B-cycle for the last 10 years. Executive Director Mike Pletsch is in talks with two unnamed companies that might contract with the organization and go after the city contract together.
"Denver Bike Sharing is proud of what it means to the community. We've received a lot of comments from some of our riders about the impact it's had on their lives," Pletsch said. "It's sad to have to turn the system off but at the same time we're excited to work with new vendors."

The nonprofit is working on taking out its stations today, Pletsch said. A fleet of 737 bikes will be dispersed to other cities with B-cycle equipment and possibly to some local nonprofits.
It's unclear whether the new system will include B-cycle-like stations where customers can park the bikes or if the system will be strictly "dockless" — where vehicles are not physically tethered. Advocates for more non-car transportation options are not taking a stance on that piece, but on Thursday, they did lay out their ideal scenario for the future.
Reps from the Denver Streets Partnership, a coalition of sustainable transport advocates, said they want to see the service available for free or low-cost, which would require city subsidies.
"It's critical that cities are stepping up to the plate and treating it just like every other transportation option that we have out there, where we're putting public dollars into our streets, into our transit," said Danny Katz of Colorado Public Interest Research Group. "We should be treating micro-mobility the same way."
Taxpayers helped fund B-cycle annually to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The exact amount depended on the year.
To meet Denver's sustainability goals, advocates also want to see the companies serve every Denver neighborhood. Current scooter and bike operators, including B-cycle, tend to serve wealthier and whiter neighborhoods. Finally, the coalition wants to see lots of options — e-bikes, traditional pedal bikes and e-scooters, and they want to see plans for parking them without obstructing sidewalks.
"All of those things are really important to have a robust network," Katz said. "If we do this well, we can maximize impact."
We'll know more details after the city government releases its request for proposals in February. Denverites can expect the new system up and running by late summer, a spokeswoman for the transportation department said.

Immigrant Child Rapist DISAPPEARS After Posting Bail
Posted by Blazing Press | Mar 28, 2017 | Immigration | 0
A twenty-year-old immigrant from Guatemala who was accused of raping a minor has disappeared after posting bail. The man's name is Gabino Vargas-Perez. He allegedly raped a 14-year-old girl who he dated briefly after stalking her for months at her high school.
Vargas-Perez posted a $5,000 bond and then disappeared immediately. (Shocker)
KETV News reports:
Prosecutors said Vargas-Perez, 20, is a legal U.S. resident, but his parents are in Guatemala.
The victim's family says the damage has been done, and now they fear justice will never be served.
"I'm really frustrated, I'm really mad at the situation, at the law," the teen's aunt, remaining anonymous to protect her niece, said.
She tells KETV NewsWatch 7 that Vargas-Perez stalked the girl at school for several months before they started dating. She says her niece reported him to school administration on multiple occasions, although Omaha Public Schools says it has no record of these reports.
The young girl repeatedly told her assailant "no" when he invited her to his house to "meet his family", he took her upstairs, took her clothes off and raped her.
The KETV News report claims:
The family who helped him bond out said he's gone and they hope it's for good.
"He's not in the country anymore," said a family member of Vargas-Perez, who asked to not be identified. "What I've heard, he's not in the country."
We must hope that this criminal will be brought to justice despite the coward having most likely fled the country.

Longridge boss Lee Ashcroft still had a bitter taste in his mouth after Saturday's defeat to rivals and league leaders Fulwood Amateurs.
Town lost 1-0 to a penalty and missed a number of opportunities to score, especially in the first half.
Longridge have now fallen nine points behind Tony Hesketh's men at the top of the West Lancashire League Premnier Division table, although they do have two games.
Ashcroft is keen to see his men get back to winning ways when they face Slyne with Hest at home on Saturday.
He said: "We've got to win as many games as possible if we want to stay in the position thatwe're in. We were lucky to beat Slyne in the cup earlier in the season, we must play better than we did then.
Ashcroft has bolster ed his squad with the siging of former Preston midfielder Paul McKenna and the loan signing of Curtis Haley from Padiham.

Trump Shares his Condolences at the News that the 'Great and Brilliant' Ken Starr Has Passed Away at 76
In: CULTURE, TWEET
Ken Starr passed away Tuesday at the age of 76 from complications from surgery, according to his family.
His son Randall issued a statement on behalf of his children, "We are deeply saddened with the loss of our dear and loving Father and Grandfather, whom we admired for his prodigious work ethic, but who always put his family first. The love, energy, endearing sense of humor, and fun-loving interest Dad exhibited to each of us was truly special, and we cherish the many wonderful memories we were able to experience with him,"
When former President Donald Trump learned of his passing he shared the sad news and his condolences on Truth Social.
"I just learned that the great and brilliant Ken Starr has, sadly, passed away. He was a true American Patriot who loved our Country and the Law. I so appreciated his support and his thoughts that our cause against fascists and other mentally sick people in our Country is just. He will be greatly missed. Melania and I send our warmest condolences to his wonderful family."
Starr was one of the lawyers who represented Trump during his first impeachment trial. Starr stood by the president and eloquently defended him.
Starr became synonymous with the investigation of Bill and Hilliary Clinton in the Whitegate real estate scandal during the '90s. He unearthed the affair Bill Clinton had with intern Monica Lewinsky during the investigation. This eventually led to the impeachment of former President Clinton, for lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstructing justice.
Lewinsky shared her thoughts on Starr's passing on Twitter:
"as i'm sure many can understand, my thoughts about ken starr bring up complicated feelings… but of more importance, is that i imagine it's a painful loss for those who love him."
— Monica Lewinsky (she/her) (@MonicaLewinsky) September 13, 2022
Starr was president of Baylor University from 2010 to 2016. He also had quite a legal career. He served on former President Ronald Reagan's transition team. He became a counselor to US Attorney General William French Smith in 1981. In 1983 he was appointed to the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia as a federal judge. Then in 1989, he was nominated by President George HW Bush to be US solicitor general. After this, he returned to private practice working for the law firm Kirkland & Ellis in Chicago.
We are saddened to hear the news of his passing as many others are as well. He impacted many in his work.

Ananya Panday or Priya Prakash Varrier: Who nailed the viral gun pose better?
Ananya Panday from Student Of The Year 2 trailer or Priya Prakash Varrier from Oru Adaar Love, who do you think nailed the gun pose better?
Punit Malhotra's Student Of The Year 2 will surely be one of the most-anticipated films of Dharma Productions this year. After witnessing a larger-than-life school competition that became Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra's debut, the second instalment is back and now with two debutante actresses and the Baaghi 2 actor Tiger Shroff. The trailer of Student Of the Year 2 dropped today and it is making the wait harder for fans.
But in between all the hype, there was a particular scene in the trailer that caught our attention. While we saw Ananya's sassy mannerisms and Tara's cool-girl look, that was one of the highlights, a scene where Ananya makes a gun while she bullies Tiger by painting his bicycle pink, is similar to that of Priya Prakash Varrier's viral gun pose in her movie Oru Adaar Love as she winks looking at her high school crush.
Priya had created waves with her viral poses in Oru Adaar Love from her famous wink to her gun pose. Soon, teenagers were fascinated by her and many even posed viral videos online imitating the actress. It seems that her charm has reached the likes of Bollywood and is just about setting the bar for a perfect sass look on-screen. Check out the photo below and decide who did the gun pose better?
In the trailer, Ananya donned the perfect schoolgirl brat, if that's what her character is since her role is still unclear, and Tiger will stun you with his high-octane action stunts. On the other hand, Tara, who too will make her Bollywood debut with SOTY 2, steals our hearts with her charming smile and her impeccable chemistry with the action king. While the trailer showcases that the romance forms a triangle, it also builds a certain amount of curiosity as to who would Tiger end up with.
Helmed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, Student Of The Year 2, is not a sequel to the 2012 film. It is slated to release on May 10, this year.
