COP26 climate change summit: Decisions the world takes now will set us on an irreversible path. We must recognise the danger and seize the opportunities – Amber Rudd
There could not be more at stake. This November, the eyes of the world will be on the UK as host of COP26, the biggest-ever critical summit to be held in our country.
By Amber Rudd
This is the very last opportunity that world leaders have to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. We must move the dial from red to black.
As host of the United Nations' COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, the UK assumes a position of great responsibility and trust. Leading the UK delegation at the 2015 UN climate talks in Paris, I saw first-hand the profound efforts of the French hosts – before and during the summit – that brought about the historic Paris Agreement.

We are now six years on from that moment and significant progress on decarbonisation has been made by the UK and others. But, as we look forwards to 2030 and beyond, we know that this is just the tip of the iceberg and that immediate and deep emissions cuts are desperately needed.
The latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change further reminds us that human activity is the "undisputable" cause of rapid changes to the climate, including sea level rises, melting glaciers, heatwaves, floods, and droughts.
No country is yet doing enough to change this. We are now two years into what is being called the Climate Decade, in which we must halve emissions by 2030. The decisions taken now will set us on an irreversible path. The question remains which path that will be. All nations must now commit to credible goals and lay out the detailed steps for decisive action.
The evidence of dangerous climate change has dramatically escalated since the Paris Agreement six years ago. This year has since fires, floods and droughts in greater numbers than ever before. Now people can see and feel the impact of climate change. And they expect action from the politicians.
The Covid pandemic has shown us that when the circumstances dictate, we are capable of change that previously seemed culturally and economically impossible. There is an opportunity ahead of us to use the recovery from the pandemic to build a better and more just future for all, and one that takes us to net-zero carbon emissions by the middle of this century.

COP26: Nicola Sturgeon to urge 'credible action' on climate change from world le...
Climate change stretches across all areas of our lives – and all political parties – as it is undoubtedly one of the greatest and most challenging issues of our time.
In recent years, the market has transformed the cost and availability of renewable energy. The cost of offshore wind – so brilliantly prolific on the coast of Scotland – is a third of the price from ten years ago. Solar is now just one tenth.
Other countries are following the UK's lead with offshore wind and the UK itself is investing heavily in the batteries that will be essential for the electrical vehicles of the future. A green industrial policy has become the centre of investment, jobs and opportunity. This is a fantastic opportunity as well as a necessity for us all.
It's not just governments but other authorities that play a part: cities, towns, regions, nations and states.
Forming part of the Under2 Coalition – for which the international non-profit Climate Group acts as the secretariat – US states have shown the power of working together to push forward environmental legislation not only without the support of national government but, in some cases, in the face of its active opposition to climate action.
In a divergence from the policies of the Trump White House, in 2020 Governor Gina Raimondo signed an executive order advancing a 100 per cent renewable future for Rhode Island by 2030, and Governor Gavin Newsom of California signed one for a target to reach 100 per cent zero-emission vehicles – for in-state sales of all passenger vehicles – by 2035.
Both cases elevated sub-national climate action and encouraged other states to follow – a vital part of climate leadership. In the Climate Decade, it's time these voices are heard at international summits such as COP26 so that we can work together on the ambitious goals that we now face to keep temperature rises below 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Business too has an essential role to play. Climate Group works to form powerful networks of business and government, unlocking the power of collective action to move whole systems such as energy, transport, the built environment, and industry to a cleaner future. The members of Climate Group's renewable electricity initiative, RE100, now have a higher demand than either the UK or Italy.
Governments must listen to the demand signals coming from forward-thinking businesses, many of which want to hit net-zero emissions by 2050, and support them with vital decarbonisation policies that will help them meet their goals.
All nations must use COP26 as a springboard to set the course for deep and meaningful emissions reductions to happen in order to get to net zero. Scientists, business leaders and people from all around the world – many of whom are being impacted by severe weather events right now – are united in calling for swift action. Politics must not get in the way.

shoplifting target ohio loss prevention going too far?
According to Cherie, a female shopper was confronted near the electronic anti-theft gates inside the store. "Immediately, the employee placed her hands on the woman's shoulders and began forcefully pushing up against her trying to bring her to the ground," she recalls.
The shopper, larger than the loss prevention associate, began to push back and started to scream at the employee because she appeared to be honestly confused about what was going on. The loss prevention associate, dressed in all black, never identified herself as an employee of Target or shared with the shopper why she was restraining her. While both women continued to push and strike each other, the shopper asked for help and for someone to call a manager or the police. The employee finally communicated with the shopper and told her that the manager was on his way. Repeatedly the shopper asked for the employee's name and for her to stop.
At this point the Target employee violently pinned the shopper against the interior doors and began to choke the woman. The shopper never exited the building and did not have any items on her body at all during this melee. All her actions, including striking back at the other woman, were in self-defense. She was wearing a thin, zebra-print slipdress, so concealing items would not have been an easy feat and would have fallen out during the intense struggle. The items in question were several feet away still in the Target shopping basket.
I asked my partner to take my 6-year-old daughter out to the car and wait for me because I felt as though I had to do something because the situation was wrong on so many levels. After watching the employee start to choke the woman, I was the only one to step forward and tell the Target employee to stop. It was evident to several witness and myself that the actions of the loss prevention associate were clearly wrong.
Startled by my intervention, both women, still with their hands on each other, moved through the first set of interior doors into the area directly in front of the exterior exit doors. Again, the employee began to violently restrain the shopper and the woman continued to defend herself. Eventually, their fight spilled through the exterior doors and continued onto the sidewalk.
A few moments later, a store manager came upon the scene and told his employee to let go of the woman. She did so immediately and the shopper stopped defending herself. The shopper continuously asked for the name of the loss prevention employee and the manager and then started to yell that she was going to sue. She told him that she was being choked and hurt and he only said that the police are on their way. For a few minutes, the manager, the loss prevention employee, and the shopper continued to argue with each other while I watched and waited to speak with the manager.
Cherie attempted to take photos with her phone, but was spotted by the loss prevention associate, who she says told her to stop and not to get involved. The above image is the only one she was able to snap.
The police arrived on the scene a few minutes later but Cherie says no one was arrested and the officer would not take her statement.
Someone from the Target store called for the police to respond to the store because a shoplifting suspect was "struggling" with loss prevention officer, who was a female, approximately 5'0″ tall and 100 lbs. The officers were dispatched to a "Theft in Progress," "security struggling with suspect." While officers were enroute to the store, the suspect broke away from the female loss prevention officer and fled the store. The suspect then got into a van, fled the lot and was not located.
Deputies from the Hamilton County Sheriff'Office and officers from Colerain Police arrived and attempted to learn what had occurred. As that was going on, a female approached a Colerain supervisor and told him what she witnessed along with her feelings about security being able to place hands on persons suspected of committing a theft offense in their store. The supervisor advised the female that the security officer had the same rights as any individual to defend themselves when they are being assaulted. The female disagreed. A second unrelated person approached the supervisor and told the supervisor that they witnessed the incident and the store security/loss prevention didn't do anything wrong in the handling of the shoplifter.
This incident occurred after 7:30 pm and Colerain officers secure from their duties at 8 pm. Because of the late hour, the investigation of the incident was handled by a deputy from the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. The Colerain supervisor passed the information from the female to the Sheriff's Deputy and because the threat was gone and there were no suspects still on scene, he left the store to secure for the shift. The store security/loss prevention officer also spoke to the female who felt the incident was not handled correctly. The store security officer advised the female to contact the Target Corporate Office to speak to them about the incident if she felt it was not handled correctly.

Hunt falls to Evans in congressional race after a campaign that centered sex work — and grabbed attention
by Beatrice Forman May 17, 2022 January 17, 2023
U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans; challenger Alexandra Hunt

Despite waging a campaign that caught national media attention, political newcomer Alexandra Hunt fell to incumbent U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans in the race to be the Democratic nominee for Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District, which represents West Philadelphia, North Philadelphia, and parts of Center City in Congress.
Per the Associated Press, Evans won handily with over 78% of the vote. Hunt secured 18% of the vote, while candidate Michael Cogbill rounded out the results with 4%.
This year's race had no Republican challenger, so the primary's winner goes straight on to the House of Representatives in January.
"Your trust and belief in the work I'm doing in the D.C helps push me forward, and I'm thankful for this movement we're building each and every day," Evans told voters, in a victory statement sent to Billy Penn.
Evans began representing the 3rd District in 2016, replacing incumbent Chaka Fattah (who was eventually convicted of bribery and racketeering). Evans spent 35 years in the Pennsylvania House, where he represented the neighborhoods of West Oak Lane, Olney, and Crestville in the 203rd District. He also ran for mayor of Philadelphia twice, unsuccessfully.
During his first congressional term, Evans focused on supporting small business and criminal justice reform, most notably helping pass the First Step Act that eases mandatory minimum sentences and increases earlier releases.
Across his time in federal government, Evans has advocated for increased healthcare accessibility but ultimately did not back 2019's Medicaid for All Act in the House, which would've instituted free primary care, prescription, and hospital visit coverage for all within two years time. For some in his district, like Hunt, this became a sticking point as Hahnemann Hospital closed, and the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impacted Black, working class communities in Philadelphia.
Evans faced challenges from two self-proclaimed progressive challengers: Alexandra Hunt and Michael Cogbill, a labor organizer and nephew of City Councilmember Cindy Bass.
Hunt, who worked as a public health researcher prior to running for Congress, said the "lack of crisis response and resources from the government" during the onset of the pandemic is what inspired her to run.
"The priorities of Congress really center corporations, which doesn't favor getting resources into the hands and pockets of everyday people and their family," Hunt told Billy Penn ahead of Tuesday's results. "I come into the political space as a reluctant participant … but I know that in order to change [the system] we have to get involved to push it in other directions."
Hunt's platform championed Medicaid for All, the Green New Deal, and a slew of interwoven reforms from eliminating cash bail and providing reparations for families impacted by the War on Drugs to a wealth tax and increased funding for low-income school districts.
A former stripper, Hunt has been outspoken about decriminalizing sex work and her past in the industry. Case in point: She became the first political candidate to fundraise on OnlyFans and has a line of campaign merch emblazoned with the catchphrase "Elect Hoes" — both nods to online hate.
Drawing on his background as the first Black political director of Philly's AFL-CIO and a former organizer with anti-violence group CeaseFirePA, Cogbill's platform centered on stricter gun regulations, advancing the Green New Deal, and expanding Social Security benefits for senior citizens.
Mistaking false results for a lead
On Monday — the day before the election — Hunt's campaign tweeted out testing data that showed her in the lead as though it were actual elections results. Votes are not tallied until polls close on Tuesday.
"Not a single vote in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has been counted yet. Hunt is just wrong," wrote election lawyer Adam Bonin, who represents Democrats.
Bonin also noted that Hunt could've flouted Federal Election Comississions finance laws by cutting herself a check two months before qualifying for the ballot and paying herself more than she made the year before, when she wasn't running for office.
For candidates who elect to receive a salary, "it must not exceed the lesser of the minimum annual salary for the office sought." Hunt campaign's appeared to pay her $6,500 a month beginning on February 1.
Oh, dear. This is from a system test. Not a single vote in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has been counted yet. Hunt is just wrong, but that's par for the course for a campaign which has never seemed to understand the district or the law. https://t.co/8vD3DzVUYk https://t.co/HIf4Mcumql
— Adam Bonin (@adambonin@mstdn.social) (@adambonin) May 16, 2022
Hunt said the false data came from an excited supporter and that her team worked to verify the results before tweeting them to the public, but never saw any indication that it was related to a test.
"We assumed it was a leak that shouldn't have happened and that someone was going to get in trouble with the City Commissioner's office, but that's not our problem," Hunt told Billy Penn on Tuesday night.
As for the allegations she violated campaign finance law, she vehemently denies them. "I did not overpay myself," said Hunt.
I'm deleting the tweet pertaining to a screenshot from the @PhillyVotes website. This screenshot was sent to me by an excited supporter. I had no idea that there would be fake data on the website the day before an election, but do not want to spread possible misinformation.
— Alexandra M. Hunt (@hunt4change) May 16, 2022
Though Evans had a strong lead from the start, the atmosphere at Hunt's campaign watch party at the Wiss Bar & Bistro in Manayunk was celebratory, drawing a small crowd of volunteers and voters. Nostalgic hip-hop, ranging from Nelly's "Hot in Herre" to Usher's "Daddy's Home," blasted from the speakers, and a range of hot wings were on the menu.
A candidacy that destigmatized sex work
Hunt maintained her campaign was about quite a bit more than ousting an incumbent — for her, it was about redefining who believes they can be in government.
"Regardless of the outcome on Election Day, we are giving power to people who have controversial paths. I can't tell you the number of people who have come up to me and said they feel inspired to live their full truth," Hunt said. "Folks who have a record feel empowered that they could potentially participate in the system and run and be a good candidate."
Aaron Rosenbaum, a Democratic voter from Logan Square, echoed that sentiment. He turned out for Hunt because he had a personal connection to her story, and was excited that she exemplified a new path toward politics.
"I think it's really refreshing to have a candidate who, instead of apologizing for being a stripper in the past, embraced it," he told Billy Penn.
I've been a stripper. I'm a sexual assault survivor. And I've had an abortion. This ad is my story — but also the story of so many others.
Never again will they be able to force us to live in the shadows, in shame for our lived experiences. pic.twitter.com/Kuv9o0R2Em
— Alexandra M. Hunt (@hunt4change) March 22, 2022
Still, her campaign broke with the traditional Democratic establishment talking points — a characteristic she told Billy Penn she was proud of.
"I was not expecting the establishment to support my candidacy," Hunt said, who's platform advances a few new ideas in the district: canceling medical debt, insurances of environmentally-friendly public housing, and a Digital New Deal that includes universal broadband and long-term net neutrality.
In a statement sent to Billy Penn, senior political advisor Michael Dineen did not acknowledge whether any of Evans' campaign platforms were influenced by those of his challengers.
"The 3rd Congressional District belongs to the people who live in it. We've worked this campaign like one long job interview and the voters decide who is hired," wrote Dineen in an email to Billy Penn.
Within the district, Dineen identified gun violence as among the "most pressing issue constituents bring up" to Evans. Community safety concerns continue to mount for Philadelphia residents as 2022 has claimed over 740 shooting victims and city gun violence briefings that experts say ignore grassroots anti-violence initiatives.
Evans announced in April what he touted as a $51 billion plan to tackle gun violence nationwide, with provisions that would pay for neighborhood blight reduction, fund workforce development, and support police efforts to improve clearance rates for shootings. Meanwhile, Hunt's platform lists efforts to ban unserialized ghost guns and prohibit known stalkers or domestic abusers from owning firearms as among campaign priorities.
Despite the results of the race, some Hunt supporters are already looking toward future elections — and optimistic that she'll win other races (if she wants to run again, of course).
"I think it's really difficult to defeat someone who's been in politics for 30 years. For every Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, there's people who have to run two or three times to win," Rosenbaum said. "I'm hoping Alexandra will run again."

Lachenalia lutzeyeri G.D.Duncan
Family: Hyacinthaceae
Common names: Lutzeyer's lachenalia
View other plants in this family QR code link View other plants in this genus
A beautiful Lachenalia that's born from the ashes. Burning to know more about this species? Let's see what makes this such a special Lachenalia.
Lachenalia lutzeyeri is a deciduous, winter-growing geophyte, 200–400 mm high, with an unusually deep-seated, globose, white bulb, 20–25 mm diameter, with membranous, dark brown outer tunics and many roots. It produces 1 or 2 leaves, narrowly lance shaped, 85–290 × 4–13 mm, prostrate, spreading or suberect and yellowish green or pale to deep maroon. The leaf surface is plain or with dark green, brown or maroon flattened pustules and the margins are thickened. The leaf clasps the stem underground, and most of it, about 85 mm, is underground, with only a short portion of 15 mm above ground.
The inflorescence is a many-flowered, moderately dense raceme, 50–120 mm long, with a sterile apex up to 10 mm long. The flower stalk is green and unmarked, or yellowish green and heavily marked with minute maroon speckles or small to large maroon blotches. The flowers are oblong to bell-shaped, 2–3 mm long, nodding, anthers exserted, yellowish cream with dark green or brown gibbosities, with a moderately strong, soapy-sweet scent, fading to dull maroon and ascending in fruit. It flowers in early summer (Nov.), but only after fires.
Lachenalia lutzeyeri is assessed as Vulnerable (VU) on the Red List of South African Plants. The potential threat that this species currently faces is irregular fire regimes.
Distribution description
Lachenalia lutzeyeri is endemic to South Africa, only known from the type locality on Witkransberg in the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, which is near Gansbaai, 170 km from Cape Town in the Overberg region in the Western Cape. The major habitat type for this species is Overberg Sandstone Fynbos, in coastal areas.
Derivation of name and historical aspects
The genus Lachenalia is named after the Swiss botanist Werner de Lachenal (1739–1800). This species is 1 of 6 endemics of the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve. It is named in honour of Heiner Lutzeyer, who first collected it on the upper slopes of Witkransberg after a small fire in November 2004. It was sent to the Compton Herbarium at Kirstenbosch and was thought to be an unusual form of Lachenalia montana that also occurs in the area. However, after the huge fire in February 2006, thousands of this 'unusual form' of L. montana appeared on the sandstone ridges of the reserve. It was then classified as a new species, Lachenalia lutzeyeri. Remarkably, although many leaves were seen in the second year after the fire, only three plants were seen flowering and by year three it had all but disappeared from the landscape, waiting underground for the next fire to bloom and seed.
The genus Lachenalia is endemic to southern Africa, and is the largest genus in the family Hyacinthaceae, containing ±110 species that occur in Namibia and South Africa, where it occurs in the Free State and the Northern, Western and Eastern Cape Provinces, with the vast majority occurring in the winter-rainfall region.
This species grows in full sun in open aspects or between Table Mountain Sandstone boulders, on a number of ridges in the reserve, between about 350 and 400 m above sea level. Lachenalia lutzeyeri is presently only known from the type locality on Witkransberg on Grootbos. It has remained undetected until recently owing to its extremely erratic flowering, and its dependence on summer or early autumn fires, coupled with its very late flowering period and the slim chance of it being recognized as a distinct taxon due to its superficial similarity to other members of the genus. Lachenalia lutzeyeri is remarkable in being one of only three members of this genus known to be entirely dependent on the effects of fire for flowering to occur. The others being L. montana and L. sargeantii.
The flowers are visited by butterflies.
There are no recorded cultural uses but this could be a wonderful candidate for the horticultural trade, especially as a pot plant, although further research is needed to determine whether the plants would flower in ex situ conditions.
Growing Lachenalia lutzeyeri
Lachenalia lutzeyeri is difficult in cultivation, almost always only producing leaves and flowers after a fire in the preceding summer and the bulbs can stay dormant indefinitely in cultivation unless they are burnt. (G.D. Duncan 2020, pers. comm.) A technique to induce it to flower in cultivation has not yet been found.
Grow it in well-drained, acidic, sandy potting soil such as one consisting of about half coarse washed sand and half finely sieved compost. This should be used to fill the lower two-thirds of the pot. The upper third should be pure sand with no loam or compost into which the bulbs are planted. This layer stays relatively dry preventing the bulbs from rotting if they get too wet, while the roots can safely penetrate the richer moister organic medium below. Plant the bulbs in mid-autumn at a depth of 15-20 mm and water well. Once the leaves have developed, drench them with water once a week. The plants should be kept in full sun and will grow very happily outside during the winter months, providing the temperature does not drop below freezing. In summer the bulbs should be kept dry, preferably in a cool position. One may either lift the bulbs and store them in paper bags or store them in their pots. They enjoy being repotted every 2-3 years with fresh medium. Lachenalia lutzeyeri is not suitable for general garden conditions with summer irrigation, the bulbs will rot if they receive water in summer.
Lachenalias are easily propagated by leaf cuttings, which can be removed from the plant by slicing them at the base of the leaf blade. These leaves are then half-buried in a very sandy medium and left in a cool place out of direct sunlight. The soil should be kept on the dry side to avoid the leaves rotting while the humidity can be quite high: humid air and dry soil is the trick. Within a few months, small bulbils will appear along the cut edge at the base of the leaf. Eventually the leaf will wither but the bulbils can be planted like normal bulbs the following season. Flowering will take 1-2 years.
Lachenalias are also easily raised from seed, which should be sown in autumn in a similar medium used for cultivation with a thin layer of soil placed over the seed. Water them gently but regularly in the first few weeks. The seedlings should germinate within about 2-3 weeks. Flowering will take 2-3 years.
Not much fertilizing is required for these bulbs as they are not generally very hungry, but they wouldn't be adverse to the odd splash of a dilute low-nitrogen liquid fertilizer.

Gerard Depardieu Takes the Piss in Parody of Airline Incident (video)
The French actor recreates the scene, dressed as the French cartoon character, Obelix
Sharon Waxman | September 3, 2011 @ 12:10 PM
Remember last month when French actor Gerard Depardieu got in trouble for pissing on the floor of an Air France flight to Dublin?
The man has a sense of humor. He re-staged the event dressed as the classic French cartoon character, Obelix, an avid eater of wild boar. His actual colleague on the plane, Edouard Baer, played the heroic Asterix
The video has become a viral hit in France. We provide translations below.
Obelix (Gerard Depardieu) and Asterix (Edouard Baer):
Obelix (Depardieu): "I need a wild boar (sanglier)!"
Flight attendant: "After the takeoff, Monsieur."
Obelix: "I can't wait I need one now! I'm too hungry."
Passenger: "You think you can get away with anything…"
Obelix (Eduard Baer): "Vegetarian." (Obelix dashes off camera)
Off camera: "Oh my God, that's disgusting!"
"Ladies and Gentleman I'm sorry to tell you because of a Frenchman who made a mess everywhere we will need to land."
Editor's note: the first version of this mixed up the two characters, now corrected. TheWrap regrets the error.

VILNIUS (BNS) - Representatives of Latvian ship repair yard Rigas Kugu Buvetava (RKB), which recently won a tender to privatize Lithuania's Klaipeda-based Vakaru Laiva Remontas (VLR), have called the latter's insistence on a background check "absurd."
On July 8, the Lithuanian administration failed to confirm the winner of the VLR privatization tender and instructed Interpol and Lithuanian law enforcement agencies to evaluate the reliability of RKB.
RKB public relations representative Arturs Mucenieks told the newspaper Respublika that "examining the legitimacy of RKB's money is absurd, since it is planned that VLR shares be acquired from a loan that RKB would receive from a consortium of Latvian banks."
"The loan is being lead-managed by the second largest Latvian bank, Latvijas Unibanka. About 30 percent of this bank's shares are in the hands of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). This means Lithuania is doubting the reliability of the EBRD," Mucenieks said.
According to him, the RKB loan is being guaranteed by the fourth largest Latvian holding group, Baltijas Holdings, to which RKB also belongs.
In Mucenieks' view, Lithuania has been provided with false information about RKB. He told the newspaper that "RKB is operating at full steam, receiving more than 90 percent of its revenues from its major activities - ship building and repair. This year the company is planning on repairing 124 ships," Mucenieks said.
"I am convinced that if we come to Lithuania, Lithuania would also construct ships," the RKB representative claimed.
Mucenieks also expressed doubts about Lithuania's legal system, legislation, and the country's desire to attract foreign investments.
The Lithuanian press has stated that the RKB chief is linked with laundering money from Russia, and has suggested that the establishment of Baltijas Holdings could be a cover for an attempt to return the Baltic fleet to Russia.

PLEASE DON'T SAY YOU'RE SORRY
AN EMPOWERING PERSPECTIVE ON MARRIAGE, SEPARATION, AND DIVORCE FROM A MARRIAGE-LOVING DIVORCE ATTORNEY
Meet Nicole Sodoma. Founder and Managing Principal of Sodoma Law, author, mom to three boys, a now ex-wife and soon-to-be new wife, business owner, and lawyer.
"A thoughtful guide to getting through divorce with the least amount of stress and emotional pain."
– Stacy D. Phillips, ESQ, Partner BLANKROME and Author of Divorce: It's All About Control; How to Win the Emotional, Psychological and Legal Wars.
There's no denying that divorce sucks.
You've invested years of your life to a relationship and entered into life, business or parenthood with your partner. Then, you woke up (or they woke up) and where it once took two to say "I do," it only takes one of you to say "I don't." Suddenly, you are faced with more resolution options than a New Year's Eve promise to lose weight. The journey can be wholly overwhelming and emotionally exhausting, but it also doesn't have to be the worst thing that's ever happened to you.
In her first book, Please Don't Say You're Sorry, Nicole Sodoma offers up a heaping serving of humorous realities and empowering principles for a Happy Real Marriage, and how to know when that's just not possible (and what to realistically expect from there).
Sodoma Law Founder, Nicole Sodoma is a marriage-loving divorce attorney. She is a mom to three boys, a now ex-wife, a soon-to-be new wife, a woman business owner, a lawyer, a friend to many and a trusted advisor to thousands …and not always in that particular order.
Quickly rising as a national authority on divorce and family law, her insights have been featured in The Today Show, The Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, The Washington Post, USA Today, Women's Health Magazine, Parents Magazine and Care.com.
"It's about time we pull back the dark, velvet curtain that is the delicacy of divorce. Please Don't Say You're Sorry is a conversational companion, full of heart and empathy, plus facts from an expert to help you feel a little less alone in this abyss. Page after page you feel that Nicole Sodoma is able to meet you where you are at and helps reframe the relationship to yourself as you un-relationship to another. I'm definitely NOT sorry I read this book. And you won't be either."
– Abigail Spencer; Actress, Writer and Producer

Last year saw Indie Band Guru shine a spotlight onto the talents of the indie rock band City of Sound. The feature Welcome to The City of Sound highlighted how they have been causing a storm with their big atmospheric sound and impressive lyrical depth. Their debut EP The Apartment Diaries showed that these were a group of musicians that were destined to go far.
Since then, City of Sound have been busy in the studio working on their debut album Silent Empire. Looking at their social media accounts, you can feel the excitement and pride they have for what they've created. "Odessey" is the first track to be released, with more to follow over the coming months.
What does "Odyssey" have to offer? It starts with a gentle intro before their trademark big atmospheric sound comes in. It is not long before Wright delivers yet another impressive vocal performance.
Like all of their songs before, "Odyssey" has more of that big sound that has been grabbing many people's attention. For such a small group of individuals, they come together to create something that can fill arenas. It feels like an expression of the conviction that each musician has for what the band creates. Again, their use of the keys and violin are beautiful to hear.
Overall, City of Sound are continuing to grow as musicians and songwriters. But, they never fail to create something that deserves attention. If this is a sign of what we can expect from the new album Silent Empire, then we can expect something special.

The changing social behaviours of Covid #645: Respecting the Eels
Dane Eldridge
In an unprecedented global event that has shocked the world to its core, Parra aren't crap.
The rise of the powerhouse is one of the most staggering developments of 2020, one that has puzzled the world's keenest minds from medical scientists to multi-bet fiends.
Naturally, such a phenomenon has provoked deep philosophical questions. Can society assimilate with this 'new normal'? Or is this just a temporary event we can ride out with hand-washing and Kenny Edwards cramp?
And if not, can the human race reverse decades of entrenched perception and value Parramatta for something other than rigged elections, Kieran Foran, and cheating the salary cap by $1m but still running last?
So far, it would seem not. Witnessing Brad Arthur's team consistently performing has generated plenty of suspicion among the public, with many convinced it's either a government conspiracy or 1986.
But while it may be instinct to dismiss the club's resurgence as a false alarm, this would be foolish. Like some mainstream media outlets are desperate for you to believe, this is not some minor ailment or tactic to rig the US election.

Early testing indicates the happy days are back at Parramatta. The team sits handsomely on top of the table, their affairs are in order, and most impressively, they just finished the last instalment of Anthony Watmough's contract.
Brad Arthur has engineered a side with stability and composure, and a heap of other attributes that are totally un-Parra. He has the balance of his squad spot-on, with the team working hard for each other, but not so hard that it's too hard for Ryan Matterson.
But of greatest alarm is their off-field game. Once partial to a back page-front page, their crises now amount to nothing more than biohazard breaches, which Shaun Lane agreed to cease SnapChatting last year.
The team has won handsomely, won busted, and won without stalwarts like Mitchell Moses or a bickering board, leading to the club casting off its traditional strategy and allowing a coach to complete a full term.
The Eels can even win unfashionably tough, as evidenced by the gritty 10-4 win over the Knights. It was a triumph that didn't earn the credit of other demolition jobs due to its workmanlike virtues, and because it was overshadowed by Ray Warren meeting Snoop Dogg.
Even Jai Field has stepped up impressively to fill the injured boots of Moses, doing so without impeding control of second fiddle halfback, Junior Paulo. This now gives the club a record three Next Peter Sterlings, with Dylan Brown temporarily relegated as the Next Mitchell Moses.
It's all incredibly stable for Parramatta, hence the confusion. While logic says they've been building towards this, we must remember this club has made the semi-finals less times than it's been under investigation by the Integrity Unit.
(Mark Metcalfe/Getty Images)
Such the drought, Parramatta's last premiership in 1986 remains largely imperceptible to the club's new wave of fans. That's because it was a lifetime ago, plus this generation can't make out anything not in HD.
Since there has been preliminary finals, streaks and even 2009 when they were officially the last side remaining yet still came home empty handed. Yet despite declarations of a new dawn, the club has always managed to suppress a second wave.
Complementing this, the Eels have produced a litany of egregious brouhahas that have traumatised their own and titillated opposition fans like a bawdy college movie, with crises ranging from commercial malfeasance to wooden spoons and Chris Sandow.
Will coronavirus herald the elimination of Parramatta's failures, much in the way the pandemic has buried other customs like handshakes, hugs and rugby? Science says it will be largely determined by critical biological factors, like Maika Sivo's thighs.
Next week in our series of evolving social behaviours, respecting Penrith and Nick Kyrgios.
Dane was named best and fairest in the 2004 Bathurst mixed indoor cricket competition. With nothing in the game left to achieve, he immediately retired at his peak to a reclusive life ensconced in the velvet of organised contests.


Gideon Blake is a young actor suddenly launched into stardom as the lead in Hollywood''s most anticipated franchise. Attending a high-profile Hollywood function, he comes across a mysterious man from his past, which begins his downward spiral as he is pushed to the brink of his sanity.
Good vibes & good luck to all of the talented people involved in this production. Johnny Whitworth is in it so it's obvi a must see.

Watch Sir Edmund Hillary Describe His Everest Ascent, on the 60th Anniversary of His Climb
in History | May 29th, 2013 2 Comments
Sixty years ago today, New Zealand explorer Sir Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers to ever reach the summit of Mount Everest. This feat may not seem so significant now, when upwards of 150 people may reach the top of the 29,000-foot mountain on the best climbing day. In fact the summit has become so overcrowded that officials are even debating installing a ladder for descents (to the horror of serious mountaineers). But in 1953, Hillary and Norgay's ascent was a pretty big deal, you might say. In the video above, excerpted from Hillary's appearance on the educational program Omnibus, watch the famous explorer nonchalantly tell the story of his and Norgay's conquering of Everest.
And if you're in a mood to do some virtual exploring yourself, from the comfort of your own home, you can look around the Everest summit courtesy of Google Earth.

strangely overlooked… im happy that i came across this video.. always worth watching the FIRSTS in anything, especially mountaineering.. cheers
Mark Kennedy says:
During my first radio gig away from home in '78, I was thrilled to met Sir Edmund at Radio 4ZB in Dunedin. Later, as I drove into the CBD for lunch I noticed the great man taking a stroll up ahead so I pulled over and offered him a lift. He gratefully accepted, sitting in the front passenger seat and then… nothing. Not a word until we approached his destination. A man of few words.
People have often asked why I stopped to offer Sir Edmund Hillary a lift and I always reply,"Because he was there."

How do I change the frame rate? It seems fixed at 25 fps. Our standard for commercial video production is 30fps, while some productions require other frame rates. VideoScribe 1.3.26 allowed us to choose frame rate.
What are the circumstances when the commands under the Edit menu should work? (cut, copy, paste, delete, select all) I'm not having any luck using them on the timeline or on the canvas.
Blackboard effect was mentioned in the release notes. How is it accessed? I tried tuning the canvas black, but the effect was unsatisfactory. Are there particular hands that should be used?
The frame rate is fixed in version 2 of VideoScribe.
If that is a problem for you then you could raise this in the Ideas and feature requests section.
Blackboard is a reference to one of the new paper textures which you can combine with a grey colour. There are hands with chalk instead of a pen which complete the look of a blackboard.
I am also having this problem - except for 'cut' the other editing tools do not work.
Make sure you have an element (image or text) selected before you try to click the "cut" or other editing tools.

Q: git remove a commit from pull request I'm newbie to open source contribution, so it one of my first tries.
I developed a library (gem) called validates: https://github.com/kaize/validates/
I made 2 branches through git checkout -b branch_name:
https://github.com/kaize/validates/pull/20 & https://github.com/kaize/validates/pull/19, and make commits for them, but, you can see that ip-validator pull request have a commit Blank validator 399cdd7.
What I need to do to remove it from this pull request (and still place in blank validator branch)?
Please help me with make world better, guys!

A: On the ip-validator branch, you'd do git rebase -i HEAD~2 - this will start an interactive rebase back two commits on that branch.
At this point, you'll get an editor open with options seen here: https://help.github.com/articles/interactive-rebase
Simply put, to remove that commit, just delete the commit line in the editor, save that editor file, and git will create a new commit without the commit you removed.
