AKANTHOU VILLAGE - HISTORY
A village where Beauty, History and Legend meet
The locality of Akanthou is a fascinating combination of scenic splendors, as it is displayed by the clear blue expanse of the Sea of Kilikia and the cool ravines and wooded slopes of " Mavron Oros " and " Grousoupi ", rugged tops of a mountain chain that runs parallel to picturesque, lacy shores.
I should particularly like to mention two distinctively beautiful places which can undoubtedly rival the most attractive beauty spots in any country. They are "Thkiatripito" and "Styllarka". They have been praised by both Nicosia Excursion Association and Famagusta Country Life, two clubs that regularly visited them on their outings.
"Thkiatripito" in general is a stately rocky giant radiating an aesthetic form of natural grandeur, with a huge hole, four metres across and four in height, opening through the rock of the peak, that enables access from the south side of the mountain to the north. What is more phenomenally astonishing is that before the August full moon rises over the ridge, it appears timidly through this opening to shed its soft light over the magnificent church of "Chrysosotiros" and its vicinity.
G Tsellos, president of Nicosia Excursion Association, writes about "Styllarka"." It is the most singularly beautiful spot that Cyprus has to show, it is really exceptional". Andreas Ioannou, a teacher, member of Famagusta Country Life Club, writes: "The sight is unique. We take pride in it. I confess that I feel selfishly proud to stand there, facing these strange natural structures". I was usually invited to accompany excursionists to these rugged places and I should like give you a brief description of "Styllarka": It is a strange landscape. Situated in a fold of the mountain, there are a number of very tall rocks, more than thirty or forty meters high peculiar in bulk and shape and are mantled by creepers, shrubs, bushes and little cypresses. They rise straight up, standing individually ten to fifteen feet apart, on soft-surfaced ground which is covered with dense forest vegetation: bushes, shrubs and tender, delicate lacy-leaved ferns. These ferns once won first prize at an agricultural show in Famagusta, because the shape of their leaves was regarded as true natural lace unrivaled beauty.
These two separately located wonderful spots, together with the productive valleys, the olive groves, the narrow strips of cultivated coastal plain planted with carob trees, and the seaside vegetable gardens, make up the area of Akanthou, a typical Cyprus scenery that greatly impresses the visitor.
This blessed land of Akanthou has long been cultivated into loose fertile soil by the hard labour of its honest peasants. The beautiful green surroundings, the cool water springs, which happen to be scattered all over the little wild animals and birds, have all had their share in the formation of the gentle, mild temperament of the tireless workers of this land moulding their personalities, to produce the kind, careful, peace-loving folk of Akanthou.
I should add at this point that human presence has been established here from time immemorial, and life has gone on, the people enjoying a heritage left by a proud race that once flourished in the neighbouring scattered, now ruined, settlements of Pergamos, Aphrodisium, Alkanthou Komi, Koroni, Mararia and some others the names of which have long been forgotten.
These numerous old settlements, found everywhere in Cyprus, are of great significance, being inseparable from other traditional relics. They arouse pleasant thoughts and stirring meditations, because they form our traditional background. There are lots of these remains: Byzantine Castles, country chapels, and the more recent dry-stone walled cottages of "Trika Teratsia", "Tritos", "Ayios Charalambos", "Laxia", "Kapsalos" and "Kaligrini".
It is through all these that our imagination extends over the cities and villages that once prospered on this stretch of land, and in this way this area acquires greater prestige, and the horizon of its character broadens out.
Our way of life has always kept us in close constant contact with the ruins of these ancient settlements with their broken marbles, the amphorae and urns, the carved tombs " with the whitish bones" as Paradiamantis would say, where melodious songs or sad dirges used to be sung by those who have bequeathed us these sacred lands. This is why we have been drawn so close to these ancestors of ours that we do not regard them as strangers, but as old acquaintances, as sacred figures, pure and innocent, whose complaints were not increased by the anodyne activities of any " Organization of Hierophantic Mission".
These people have imbued us with legends and traditions so much so that we have always lived with intense feelings of adoration for these beloved places.
Our land is, therefore, greatly interesting both archeologically and historically. Most of the archeologists who have worked in Cyprus, both foreign visitors and Cypriots, have called at this part of the island. Among them were two celebrated men of the ancient world: Strabo, the historian, and Ptolemy,the geographer. Of the more recent archeologists I should mention Pockoke Drummond (1750), Cesnola (1877), Mas Latrie (1878), Hogarth (1899), George Jeffery (1918) and Gunnis (1929). All these have called in search of the ancient cities, of secondary importance of course, but which played an important role in our national history and greatly helped in the creation of the civilization of Cyprus.
Historically speaking, the village of Akanthou is mentioned for the first time by its present name in 1383 AD and we are informed that the contemporary Lusignan King James I allocated the village and its lands to the Armenian patrician Sir John Corab, an Armenian citizen. It was customary in those days for the Lusignan Kings, as well as for Crusader chiefs to enter into such alliances with Armenian aristocrats. Mas Latrie mentions that he saw a tombstone in the Armenian cemetery in Nicosia, bearing the name "Maria Corab" and the date 1363. He believed that the tomb belonged to the wife of the Feudal Master of Akanthou.
The legend of Akanthou is touching and pathetic. It tells of some marauding pirates who were offered hospitality at a wedding reception at Akanthou, but in spite of that, they decided to kidnap the bride whose name was "Anthousa". Her father however, managed to hide her in a remote thorny terrain, so the pirates kidnapped the bridegroom instead and carried him off to their ship. Many years passed by. "Anthousa" obstinately refused to go through a second marriage, but in the long run she was persuaded to do so. While the wedding ceremony was taking place, "Anthousa's" first husband turned up outside the church, riding a horse
The poem continues:
The horse neighed and the girl knew it. She looks out, sees her husband and calls out to the priest: " Stop the ceremony, Father, and you, deacon, leave the book, as my husband has arrived, and he is the one for me". And she rushes out of the church to fall into the arms of her tormented husband.
The story of this unlucky marriage, the kidnapping of the bridegroom and his return, shows the national feeling of that period of our history, not so remote, and in allegorical form it relates the sad necessity of the people to leave their homes and seek refuse in concealed areas, when the island was brutally attacked by marauding pirates. This demonic song, that enriches our legend, demonstrates not only the tone of the drama and anguish of the people of that time but also their hopes. Many and varied, however, are the elements that synthesize the character of the Cypriot legendary field.
In brief, our spirit lingers on among the pines and cypresses and thorny shrubs of the forests, over the picturesque beaches, among the ruins of ancient temples, in Byzantine churches and country chapels, in the little stonewalled cottages that will endure time, and unless the barbarous axes of the conqueror destroys them, they will echo the vitality of an angelic people, the people of Akanthou, honest and virtuous, with integrity and a creative urge that expresses the perfection of their personality.
These people, taken either as a whole or individually, had a highly developed sense of hospitality and a culturally comfortable social life. But now the beauty of their world has lost its lustre. Strange people live in their homes, and only the soft southern breeze timidly leaves in each yard of the village our daily kisses and everlasting tears.

OUR HOME IN CYPRUS
An extract from the book- "our home in Cyprus"
by Mrs. Scott-Stevenson
I dedicate this book to my husband: Captain Andrew Scott-Stevenson, Forty-Second Royal Highlander ( the black Watch) Civil Commissioner of Kyrenia, Cyprus
Kyrenia September 25th, 1878
Keeping to the right along a rough road, we at length reached Accatou (Akanthou), our halting place for the night, and having come some thirty-five miles since morning, we were very glad to pitch our tents and rest. We rode about some time before we settled the site of our little encampment, but at last fixed upon a terrace shaded by olives, with a stream of clear water purling below us.
The natives in body came to inspect us, and amongst them, we saw some remarkably pretty girl, who, fortunately, were in their native dress, unspoiled by vulgar modern finery. Loose coarse canvas trousers made the stockingless feet, which they almost touched, look small by comparison; a loose skirt of cream-coloured Cyprus cloth; and over all a kind of long coat, cut very low on the bosom, in fact, merely secured at the waist with a couple of buttons, and encircled by a gay coloured sash.
As it is rare (I have hardly ever seen one) to see a stout woman of the peasant class, the dress is admirably adapt to their figures, and in very young girls and more graceful of the women the effect is charming. They set great store on the little necklaces of coral and seed pearl, often extremely pretty, which are bought at the larger fairs, and mostly worn very becomingly.
The good people lending the servants a hand, the tents were soon put up, and whilst the fire was being lighted, I busied myself making all snug with. The camp beds on either side, the India-rubber, bucket and basins opposite the door; in the opening, the little folding table and chairs; and on the hooks on the bit of leather fastened round the tent-pole so useful to hang a dressing-gown or spare coat on, my looking glass.

Our kitchen has been awarded five stars for hygiene!
Every effort is made to keep to the menu for the week, but due to delivery problems or swaps made by the supplier changes may occur. This is out of the control of both the kitchen and the school.
Lunch costs £2.15 a day or £10.75 a week. (Nursery children staying for lunch pay £6.20 PLUS £2.15 for lunch or they can bring a packed lunch). Please see below for a change in pricing.
of nutrients, to be found in four food groups.
Add tomato, lettuce or beetroot to a sandwich.
A vegetable dish, such as salad or roast vegetables.
Fresh fruit, such as apple, banana or pear.
Dried fruit, such as raisins, apricots or figs.
Finger foods, such as cherry tomatoes, cucumber sticks or slices of pepper. Good with a dip, such as houmous or guacamole.
All packed lunches should contain at least one portion of fruit and one portion of vegetable or salad.
Replace cakes and pastries with fruit bread, malt loaf or fruit bagel.
Replace salted savoury snacks with rice cakes, breadsticks or plain popcorn.
Packed lunches would be better if they did not contain chocolate, sweets, salted savoury snacks or crisp-like products.
The school has a no nuts policy as some children are allergic to these.
To keep food fresh, make sure it is stored properly: lunches packed the night before need to be stored in the fridge. If using rice, make sure it is cooled quickly and stored in the fridge overnight.
To keep your lunch fresh during the day, use a cool bag and put in a frozen drink or reusable ice pack.
The school would prefer children to drink water only.
The Eco Council has looked at packed lunches and recommends that sandwiches and other lunch items are put into reusable boxes to minimise rubbish. Packed lunch children can use the school's cutlery and cups so there is no need to send these in. All uneaten food is sent home unless it is messy such as opened yoghurts.
The lunchbox shelter was paid for by the PTA. The lunch box shelter is used to store lunchboxes in all weather. The lunches are cool in the winter away from central heating. They are also kept dry. In the summer they are in the shade and again kept cooler than inside the warm buildings. parents are encouraged to provide ice blocks on the hottest days.
Lunch boxes should be put on the correct year group trolley when children come to school at 8.55am. they should be collected at 3.30pm.
Children are told when to get their bags for lunch.
KS1 children keep their lunch bags in boxes or on trolleys outside their classrooms.
Children should have a proper, named, lunch box and not just a plastic bag.
Snacks for break time SHOULD NOT be kept in lunchboxes. Children cannot access lunchboxes during break. There is a snack bowl in every classroom where children should put their snacks first thing in the morning.
All of the children are given a squirt of hand sanitiser before they go in to eat their lunch. Any children with filthy hands are asked to go and wash them.
At Holly Park we have started to use the School Money System so that parents can make payments for school dinners. We encourage all parents whose children have a school lunch to use this system of payment.
If your child has any outstanding dinner money a text and an email will be sent to you advising that your child is in dinner arrears with a password and a link to the website. Each child has their own password to use.
Once this link has been clicked it will open a parent log in screen where you will need to input your mobile phone number, email address and password and log in.
A new screen will open asking for your child's name, you only need to input your child's first name and select confirm.
This will then log you into the payments screen, where you can see any dinner arrears and also if your account is in credit.
At the top of the screen is a history tab where if you click on this you will be directed to the transaction history page. Here you can see a breakdown of any payments you have made. If you click on dinner eaten you will see a break down of meals/packed lunches that we have recorded for your child.
Any outstanding payments will be shown on the left hand side of the screen and you simply click on which outstanding item you wish to pay for.
The right hand side of the screen shows a green highlighted box stating top up, this is where you can add extra payments to your child's account to put this in credit i.e if you wish to pay for the whole month/term etc.
Once you have selected the payments you wish to pay, click on make payment and this will take you to a new screen to enter your card details. These details will need to be put in every time you want to pay as the system does not store any card details.
The system is very easy to use and parents have given us very positive feedback about it.
As a new incentive to improve lunchtime behaviour and to make our Mealtime Supervisors feel part of the whole school reward system that they can use with the children, we have introduced a golden ticket system.
The system is working very well. When a Mealtime Supervisor sees a child doing something well – eating nicely, trying new food, being polite, helping another child, sharing play equipment, playing well with others, being kind etc, they award the child a golden ticket. The golden ticket has the child's name on and goes into the class golden ticket box. Every child who gets a golden ticket also gets a housepoint.
The class golden ticket box stays in the classroom for half a term and all the golden tickets are put in each day. At the end of a half term, we have a special assembly and the Mealtime Supervisors come along and pick out (rather like a raffle) a golden ticket. So, the more golden tickets a child has the more chance there is of their name being pulled out!
Each half term the boxes are emptied and we start again. The golden tickets were pulled from the box for last half term and a child from each class was pulled out. The prize was afternoon tea with me and the Mealtime Supervisors. We had juice and cake.
We also have a weekly Top Table hosted by Mrs Pelham for children who have shown good manners in the dining hall.
Here are some children enjoying the event.
Our Meal Time Supervisors now wear fluorescent jackets.

RSM: inflation spike harks back to post-war peak
Author: ICAEW Insights
ICAEW's graphic highlights similarities between post-pandemic and post-Second World War inflation, say Thomas Pugh and Simon Hart from RSM, who explain what businesses should be doing to mitigate the effects.
UK inflation is rising at its fastest rate in four decades and could go even higher. The surge in inflation to a 40-year high of 9% in April and possibly to more than 10% later this year – as the projections in the ICAEW graph show – has inevitably invited comparisons to the extraordinarily high inflation experienced during the 1970s and 1980s. However, ICAEW's chart also shows us that the current burst of inflation has more in common with the post-Second World War spike in inflation, when it peaked at 12%, than with the 1970s.
Before we examine the causes of today's inflation, it's useful to look back at historical bouts of high inflation and their causes.
The first real inflation spike charted on the ICAEW graph is in the early 1950s. As countries demobilised after the Second World War, this period was characterised by a surge in consumer demand that came up against supply constraints caused by the devastation of the war. As a result, inflation had jumped to 12% by 1952, as shown in the ICAEW graph. By 1955, however, inflation had dropped back to 1% as supply rebounded and consumer demand returned to normal.
Contrast this to the experience of the 1970s, when a huge oil price shock was exacerbated by a rigid labour market and monetary policy errors that caused inflation to reach 24%. It remained elevated for another decade, as the graph shows.
The two main perpetrators of inflation
The current surge in inflation is the work of two main culprits. The first is the pandemic, which dramatically increased demand for goods across the developed world. At the same time, it shut down factories and ports, creating havoc along finely tuned global supply chains. The inevitable result was a sizable increase in the prices of affected goods. For example, a shortage of microchips crimped the production of new cars, causing the price of used vehicles to rise by 27% y/y in April.
Second, the war in Ukraine has caused marked increases in the prices of many commodities, from energy to agricultural goods and metals. The price of natural gas in the UK, for example, is more than three times its level of a year ago.
Putting all this together, the Bank of England (BoE) estimates that around 80% of inflation is due to global shortages and the jump in prices of goods set on global markets, such as oil. That means that domestic forces, including demand for UK goods and services, are driving only 20% of inflation.
It seems to us that the current bout of inflation has less in common with what happened in the 1970s than it does with the post-Second World War experience of inflation caused by disrupted supply chains and a rebound in consumer demand after a period of depressed consumer spending.
Indeed, when compared with the 1970s, today's UK labour market is much more flexible and unions have significantly less bargaining power. What's more, the BoE is now independent and has already moved to tighten monetary policy. For that reason, we expect the current surge in inflation to be relatively short lived.
Admittedly, a further rise in Ofgem's energy price cap in October will push inflation above 10%, and maybe as high as 11%. And high oil prices will ensure that inflation remains between 9% and 10% during the summer.
How will we ease inflation?
However, global goods price inflation should start to ease as supply chains normalise while disruption from the pandemic fades and consumers return to spending more of their income on services and less on goods.
A simultaneous and substantial weakening in economic growth, and potentially a recession, would reduce demand and inflationary pressure. As a result, inflation is likely to drop sharply throughout 2023 and will probably be around 3% in late 2023. We think it will continue to fall in 2024 and there's a chance it will drop below the BoE's 2% target should energy or food prices fall back.
So, what should businesses – and more specifically accountancy firms – be doing to mitigate inflation and the wider economic headwinds?
Understandably, many businesses will be concerned about increases to their cost base and their ability to pass on a proportion, if not all, of those extra costs to their customers and clients. However, there is a strong argument to suggest that one of the best ways to protect a business against the worst impacts of inflation is to use this time to invest in infrastructure. Why? Any investment in productivity enhancing, and therefore efficiency improving processes is, the logic suggests, going to be beneficial for that firm's overall competitiveness and output in an economic cycle when margins are squeezed.
The UK is, as an average, one of the least productive G7 economies, which suggests our alignment to a full employment model might not be reflective of the full benefits investment in technology and capital items can deliver.
Our business love-affair with short-term profit and stakeholder value over longer-term enhancements and business sustainability may hinder UK businesses in weathering the current economic cycle as well as others that invest in those productivity-enhancing items.
With the economic challenges affecting all businesses to a greater or lesser degree, the supply chain impact, the rising utility and fuel prices and the cost-of-living crisis beginning to bite many households, variability and heightened financial risk will inevitably be of concern.
Accountants are vital
With that in mind, the role accountants play is now more important than ever as business leaders need and expect robust and timely (if not real-time) financial information from which management can base their decision-making.
Financial modelling and forecasting and reforecasting targets and budgets, cashflow analysis and subsequent impact of expenditure changes are likely to be more regular requirements as the inflationary impacts on the economy and business continue to take hold during 2022.

Shares of Kaveri Seed Co. Ltd gained 10% on Friday after a government panel on genetically modified Bt cotton recommended a steep reduction in royalty fees payable to seed technology companies. The committee has recommended a 70% reduction in royalty fees, which could see the maximum sale price of Bollgard II Bt cotton seeds fall from ₹ 830-1,100 per packet (the price varies across the country) to ₹ 800 per packet.
If the royalty cut is implemented, domestic seed companies will benefit as they will pay a lower royalty fee and the price will be uniform across the states. Apart from Kaveri, shares of Rallis India Ltd, which also has a sizeable seeds business, closed higher last weekend.
According to a domestic broking firm, the Ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) margins of seed companies will remain unchanged as a lower royalty will make good the reduction in the selling price. "We view this as positive as earlier concerns related to margins getting hit due to the intervention of the central government will subside," the broking firm said in a note to its clients.
Further, the broking firm expects the reduction in the selling price to trigger consolidation as margins of smaller firms could get hit by lower economies of scale. Larger firms have an upper hand on this count, but lower royalty and seed rates will not be enough as the industry's main problem is one of weak demand.
In the current fiscal, the industry has been hit by low crop acreages, adverse weather conditions, crop losses due to pest attacks, subdued cotton prices and poor farmer sentiments. The seed price is not as relevant in this mixture. Despite reducing prices (by offering steep discounts), companies were unable to arrest the drop in sales. In the nine months to December 2015, Kaveri's sales fell 24% from a year ago.
Unless cotton prices recover drastically (already down one-fifth from January 2014), the scenario is unlike to change much. Cotton acreages are expected to remain at current low levels due to the shift in farmer preferences to other crops and inventory de-stocking in China, a major importer of cotton.
"Ind-Ra (India Ratings) estimates that the cotton acreage will reduce to 12 million hectares in CY16 from 12.9 million hectares in CY15 and same in CY17. This will be due to the switching over of farmers to other competing crops such as guar, soya bean, groundnuts, pulses, etc., due to the better remuneration earned on them and the lower cotton prices," India Ratings and Research said in a note. "Unless there is a recovery of imports from China and other countries, and an increase in demand from domestic spinning mills, the acreage is likely to remain low." CY here refers to international cotton year, which is from August to July.
Low royalty and seed prices may ease the pain of cotton farmers somewhat but the bigger problem is one of low demand for their product.

Home Entertainment Khatron Ke Khiladi 7 27th March 2016: KKK7 Vivan Gets Eliminated
Khatron Ke Khiladi 7 27th March 2016: KKK7 Vivan Gets Eliminated
Khatron Ke Khiladi 7 27th March 2016
Khatron Ke Khiladi 7 27th March 2016: Today, i.e. Sunday was the second day of the semi-final episode of the Indian stunt reality TV show hosted by Arjun Kapoor. It is the seventh installment of the show which is just about to reach its destination. As the show is proceeding towards its finale, the competition is getting tougher. (see: Ayushmaan Ind vs Aus commentary.)
Many of the viewers may have missed the show due to the important World T20 match between India and Australia. Let's catch up the highlights of today's episode. As of now, only the seven contestants have remained in the battle for the title namely Sana, Mukti, Raghav, Vivian, Sidharth, Vivan, and Tanishaa.
It all started with Mukti and her dance performance with Arjun Kapoor. Later on, Kapoor revealed that out of seven remaining contestants, six will proceed to the next level while one will go home.
Further, Arjun revealed that next Sunday, the winner of KKK 2016 will be decided. He told that along with the KKK 7 title, he/she will get Rs. 25 lakhs and a trophy. Then, he brought up six Gaucho scarves to give to the finalists.
The first stunt for the day was Ghumshuda.
In the last episode, Mukti, Vivian, and Raghav were selected to do this task. In it, the contestants had to keep moving on a platform. The catch was that the speed will keep increasing, and the contestant had to balance them. As the candidate falls, the task gets over.
Vivian started the task very well and maintained himself for 1 minute and 17 seconds. Then, Mukti came and managed herself properly for one minute and 24 seconds. At last, Raghav arrived. He kept himself properly on the platform for 2 minutes and 53 seconds.
Thus, Vivian got the Fear Funda while the rest of the two got Gaucho scarves.
The second task was titled "Ilaka Tera, Dhamaka Mera".
It was the first ever partner head-on stunt. So, two teams – Sidharth-Tanishaa and Sana-Vian were created. In the stunt, there was a bus suspended in the air. The boys of both the teams had to climb down using a rope, then climb using another rope, then pull down a chain until their partner touch the ground. After that, they had to unhook each other and look for the parts of a detonator in the pile of mud.
After collecting the parts, they had to fix the parts and insert into the detonator to complete it. After fixing it, they had to use it and see if the bus bursts into flames or not. The fastest team wins and reaches to the next round.
Tanisha and Sidharth started well, but Vivan and Sana couldn't. However, Sana-Vivan caught them later on. The former team took the time to unhook each other but finished the work before the other team. It was neck-to-neck competition. Boys looked exhausted, but girls didn't give up. Tanisha and Sidharth completed the task first. Thus, moved straight to the final week.
At this moment, Sana, Vivan, and Vivian were left to compete for the elimination round.
The Elimination Task.
In this stunt, the contestants were locked inside a cage underwater. They had to unlock the three locks with a bunch of keys tied to their hand. After opening the cage, they had to touch the finish mark by swimming to the other end of the pool. The catch was that the cage was kept rotating.
Vivan took 4 minutes and 24 seconds to finish the task as he was exhausted by the morning's task. Sana calmly completed the stunt in 2 minutes and 57 seconds. Vivian did it in 3 minutes and 54 seconds.
It meant that Vivan got eliminated. Sana and Vivian reached the next week.

Three women injured in stabbing attack
CTV London Published Sunday, April 24, 2016 10:45AM EDT Last Updated Sunday, April 24, 2016 4:21PM EDT

A stabbing early Sunday morning has left a woman in critical condition and injured two others.
London police say it happened about 1:45 a.m. in the area of Grey Street and Clarence Street where police were called to a large disturbance.
Police found a woman with multiple stab wounds and she is in critical but stable condition in hospital. Two other females had minor injuries and were treated and released.
Neighbours heard a loud argument that quickly escalated.
"One of the girls was threatening some of the other girls by saying she would fight them all," said Grey Street resident Jeff Mallott.
"Police showed up. There were three police cars and the ambulance. And before that the girls just scattered."
Police determined that there was a consensual fight between four females, who all knew each other.
Four people were initially arrested at the scene, but two of the four have since been released without charges.
A 24-year-old London woman is charged with aggravated asssault.
A 20-year-old London woman is facing a charge of assault causing bodily harm for the minor facial injuries suffered by a second victim.

GOD DOES NOT FORGET: The Story of a Boer War Commando
Author: Deneys Reitz
Purchase this title at:
"One of the greatest war books ever written."
"A vivid, unforgettable picture of mobile guerrilla warfare."
In 1899 a 17 year old boy by the name of Dennys Reitz volunteered to fight for his country, South Africa, against the British. He could ride and shoot with the best of them, so he was quickly assigned to a Boer Commando Unit—one of the highly mobile light cavalry units that were driving the British crazy.
Outmanned, outgunned, and under-supplied, the Boer commandos nevertheless checked the British at almost every turn. They became masters of lightning attacks, night fighting, and ambushes, only to disappear to strike again somewhere else.
Reitz was in it from beginning to end, and participated in nearly every major battle. His descriptions of war and adventure have come to be regarded as among the best in the English language.
After the fighting was over, Reitz chose to live in Madagascar rather than remain in South Africa under British rule; and it was from there that he wrote this book. But his exile did not last. His old commander talked him into returning to his homeland to help build the new dominion. To this task, he brought the courage and leadership he had learned as a commando, eventually becoming a Member of Parliament, Cabinet Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, and South African High Commissioner to London. He also fought bravely on the Western Front during WW-I—for the British.

As the axiom goes, you only consume shellfish in months with an R in them — in warmer climes, anyway. Although we're not supposed to be ordering oysters for another five weeks, Petit Marlowe makes that feel as outmoded as the proscription against wearing white after Labor Day, which falls three days after oyster season begins.
The wine bar and "oysterette" on Townsend Street in SoMa, where you order your shellfish with the aid of a golf pencil, is a vivacious project from Big Night Restaurant Group. That would be husband-and-wife team Anna Weinberg and James Nicholas plus executive chef Jennifer Puccio, who opened the beloved New American bistro Marlowe a block away in 2010. (It later moved around the corner to 500 Brannan St.) In rapid succession, the trio went on to establish Park Tavern, The Cavalier, Leo's Oyster Bar — all of which the taxidermy-loving power-clasher Ken Fulk designed — plus a temporary project or two.
With a unity of aesthetic and purpose, Petit Marlowe builds on these successes. Simply being there is a delight. Its menu might most closely resemble Leo's, but Petit Marlowe has plenty of overlap with The Cavalier. (It's the Paris to The Cavalier's London, roughly speaking.) But unlike that ground-floor restaurant in SoMa's Hotel Zetta, it doesn't feel overstuffed with kitsch designed for nouveau-riche Tories hungry after a fox hunt — nor is there a faux-secret bar behind it accessible from the alley. It's by no means inexpensive, but the atmosphere stays classic without ever feeling fussy or vulgar.
More to the point, virtually the entire menu is good. If you blanch at the thought of paying $5 for a single oyster, dinner here might not be your jam, but this might be the best first-date spot in San Francisco right now. Start with a dozen oysters, from the stiff, approachable Irish Points to the pleasantly saline Pemaquids to the humble Little Leo's from Washington to the Standish Shores that work great with the onion-and-cannellini-bean-heavy mignonette. Standing head and shoulders above almost every other deviled egg I've come upon is Puccio's Spanish anchovy, overstuffed with Caesar filling, two dorsal fins of shaved Parmesan, and breadcrumbs — or at least I thought so, until I tried the spicy porc ($3.50), which is like the hors d'oeuvres equivalent of smoked quartz, made with 'nduja and bruléed lardo.
Smoked duck with nectarine and mint ($16) is quite salty, but you wouldn't want it any other way, and even a sliver of stone fruit keeps the duck from wallowing in its own duck-ness. Salt Fat Acid Heat is a new illustrated cookbook by Samin Nosrat and Wendy MacNaughton that's based on the four fundamental principles of food, but salt-fat-acid-cold works pretty well, too. The very best dish is an $18 côte de boeuf tartare larded up with buttery porcini mushrooms and an exalted ratio of lemon and black pepper. In such Instagrammable surroundings, on a plate embossed with the restaurant's name, it has the potential to elbow another type of toast out of the picture. You know, the one with a fatty green fruit with a dark leathery skin.
Missteps are minor, as in a $12 escabeche made with calamari, clams, and mussels that's a little homogenized by all the oil in the dish, or the $23 plate of burrata that needed a dose of black pepper to save it from its own flabbiness. (The vinegary peas weren't quite cutting it, and it's almost too rich to finish.) The only other downside is how pastry chef Emily Lucchetti feels criminally underused here. The dessert menu is scant: shortbread cookies, Dandelion chocolate, and a rosé ice cream that's a collaborative effort between Smitten and Scribe Winery. What's Paris without confections? Even the nectarine-and-raspberry cobbler on Marlowe's menu would feel seasonally appropriate, not incongruously rustic.
It's also worth mentioning that Petit Marlowe's scale is right. Leo's is a wonderful place to celebrate life's bigger frivolities over oysters and martinis, but it can feel almost as claustrophobic as a BART car. I swung by there a couple weeks ago, and it was impossible not to eavesdrop on the people to either side of our seats; two tables over, a woman worming out from the booth bumped the adjacent table, sending a whole platter of oysters clattering to the floor.
Petit Marlowe has room to breathe (and a parklet outside, for extra breathing). Two globed lights in the center of the dining room read "Ce Soir" and "Ou Jamais," which, taken together, mean "now or never" — but, to capture the hedonistic spirit, they might be better translated as "no time like the present." There's also no present quite like time. Give yourself the gift of a leisurely late-afternoon meal here. You will be happy.


LAKEWOOD — Another two cases of measles has been confirmed by the Ocean County Health Department bringing the total in the township to four.
The cases all stem from exposure to a 27-year-old man who had traveled to Israel and who was confirmed to have the measles late last week.
OCHD spokesman Dan Regenye said the new cases were diagnosed late Thursday and Friday morning.
County health officials warned that anyone who was in the following locations may have been exposed.
NPGS grocery store, 231 Main St in Lakewood: Thursday, Oct. 25, between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. and Monday, Oct. 29, between 2:15 p.m. and 4:45 p.m.
Pizza Plus, 241 4th St, Lakewood: Sunday, Oct. 28 between 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.
Regenye said that measles can survive up to two hours after being introduced to an environment by a sick person.
Anyone potentially exposed could develop symptoms as late as Nov. 20.
Regenye said anyone who believes that they may have been exposed should call their health provider and arrange for an examination away from others.
"The recommendation is to not bring them into a facility because of the highly contagious nature of measles," he said.
Measles is a highly contagious disease and those who have not been vaccinated are at especially high risk, especially young children.
"The recommendation right now is to have everyone confirm and check their vaccination status and try to assure everyone's protection. The vaccine is the best measure somebody could take at this point " Regenye said.
One health provider in Lakewood offered vaccinations in tents set up in a parking lot on Thursday.
Regenye said a threshold of three cases makes it an outbreak. He said there were no cases of measles in Ocean County last year.
Symptoms of measles include rash, high fever, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes. Measles can cause serious complications, such as pneumonia and encephalitis (swelling of the brain). In pregnant women, measles can lead to miscarriage, premature birth or a low birth weight.


PRIDE is one of the most hideous, yet elusive sins to deal with. This is because "all a person's ways seem pure to them" (Proverbs 16: 2), for "the pride of your heart has deceived you" (Obadiah 1:3). It clouds our judgement and causes spiritual blindness. We need to prioritize overcoming our pride (through the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ only) because it blocks us from walking in the greater heights where God wants to take us. Remember also that it is the pride of Lucifer that got him thrown down from Heaven: "All your pomp has been brought down to the grave, along with the noise of your harps; maggots are spread out beneath you and worms cover you. How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, 'I will ascend the heavens, I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High'. But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit." (Isaiah 14:11-15).
In our society, boastfulness (& show-offs) is seen as the most conspicuous form of pride. But the most oblivious, yet very destructive forms include: anger, unforgiving, criticism, vanity, selfishness and unhealthy competition. We are often quick to refer to and condemn the pride and religiousness of the Pharisees and Sadducees of Jesus' time, but we Christians most often tend to act in the very same way, without even recognising it. This is the very reason why St. Paul cautions us "These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come. So if you think you're standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!" (1Corianthians 10:11-12). The attitude of judging and criticising people (especially within the same Body of Christ) for their misgivings, thinking that we're immune from ever walking similar paths, often orchestrates our fall…massively!
For "pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." (Proverbs 16:18).
We like St. John the Baptist, ought to let " Christ increase, but we decrease" (John 3:30). In humbling ourselves before the Rock of Ages and Faithful Judge, like Moses did (Numbers 12:3), He would take on our heavy burdens, yokes, foes and deal with those who hurt us. He's unchanged since the time when he defended Moses from Miriam and Aaron (Numbers 13:9-10). Jesus says, "believe in God, believe in Me also". Pride however would put us in the shoes of Miriam, and remember that He "saves the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty" (Psalm 18:27).
In conclusion, we need to always remember that we are merely "clay in the potter's hand" and humility will come into our life by all means. Either we willingly humble ourselves (through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ) before the Ancient of Days, the Mighty One of all ages so bestows on us "its wages of riches and honour and life" (Proverbs 22:4); or He in His own time, will humble you, aka shame you, for "when pride comes, then comes disgrace" (Proverbs 11:2).
I pray that, we as members of the Body of Christ will walk and serve in true humility, so "we cause growth of the body for the edifying of ourselves in love" (Ephesians 4:16b). Praise be "to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy- to the only God our saviour be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forever!" Amen.

The Ten Best ROSEANNE Episodes of Season Eight
Posted on May 17, 2022 by upperco
Welcome to a new Sitcom Tuesday! This week, we're continuing our coverage on the best of Roseanne (1988-1997, ABC), which is currently available on DVD and streaming.
Roseanne stars ROSEANNE BARR as Roseanne, JOHN GOODMAN as Dan, LAURIE METCALF as Jackie, SARA GILBERT as Darlene, LECY GORANSON as Becky, and MICHAEL FISHMAN as D.J. With JOHNNY GALECKI as David, GLENN QUINN as Mark, MARTIN MULL as Leon, and ESTELLE PARSONS as Bev. (And SARAH CHALKE!)
Season Eight is the final year that wasn't, for negotiations about the series' return came down to the wire, turning several episodes into a narrative mess, as mounting closure suddenly gave way to an unpleasant open-ended cliffhanger designed to spark last-minute story, and in this case, allow one of the leads to have his future presence reduced… But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start at the top: as before, Roseanne is mediocre now because it's no longer writing to its blue-collar identity and has lost a lot of its trademark believability amidst episodic tricks that also indicate a poor use of character. While Eight largely sidesteps the tired romantic angst that plagued Seven, it's saddled with many more gimmicks, including fantasy sequences (which invade its Halloween and Thanksgiving outings, totally destroying their previously relatable character-revealing ethos), stunt castings (like Martin Mull's Fernwood 2-Night pal Fred Willard as his hubby), and unmotivated hooks, such as an on-location Disney World trip. It goes without saying, but all of this is opposed to the more literally realistic "slice of life" Roseanne initially offered. Oh, yes, the first half of Eight tries to temper some of its grander ideas with smaller, lower-concept fare, but it doesn't work in an era where the show is also prone to a metatheatrical wink — a fourth-wall-breaking gag that shatters the allusion of total realism, trading sincerity for aggrandized cleverness. I suppose the second half, as Eight is gearing up for the series' potential conclusion, is more rewarding, since character evolution becomes a paramount concern again, with some long-buried "working-class" tension occasionally invoked in support of how much the family, and show, has changed. But, of course, many of these entries must also make do with heightened drama that's not always motivated, particularly now that the leads' palpable humanity is seldom reinforced. And, by the time the season reaches its end, it's indulging tearful melodrama not attached to an actual conclusion… because, hey, the show is coming back… only with Dan in a limited capacity, meaning, well, some forced maneuverings. Accordingly, there's nothing about Roseanne in Eight that's truly worth celebrating without a "but…" involved. The series has just outlived its purpose and should have ended.
01) Episode 174: "Shower The People You Love With Stuff" (Aired: 09/19/95)
Becky and Darlene argue during Roseanne's baby shower.
Written by Lawrence Broch | Directed by Gail Mancuso
Another sign that Season Eight was initially intended to be Roseanne's swan song is the return of Lecy Goranson in the role of Becky, which she'll hold onto for most of the year (save a few entries where Sarah Chalke taps back in), and while I'm not a fan of the metatheatrical wink that comes attached to her reappearance — as that's but another indication of how Roseanne is no longer as literally true as its premise once endeavored to be — I do appreciate the sense of "deja vu" and "old times" that this basically low-concept baby shower is meant to convey (winding down a terrible arc that got extended because Roseanne Barr's real-life pregnancy occurred after the storyline was first introduced). So, this premiere tries to recalibrate the show towards simplicity for a possible final season. Sadly, it's just too prone to gimmickry and stunts like the aforementioned wink to really make this an effective tonal shift… (Note: Nancy, Crystal, and Anne-Marie are all back as well; Linda Porter and William Schallert also guest.)
02) Episode 175: "Let Them Eat Junk" (Aired: 09/26/95)
Jackie is upset when Roseanne feeds Andy junk, and Dan tries to change D.J.'s image of him.
Teleplay by Matt Berry & Ed Yeager | Story by Carrie Snow | Directed by Gail Mancuso
Season Eight was a difficult collection from which to craft a list, for there are a lot of mediocre episodes about which I could share some commentary, even though I don't find them exceptional or totally worthwhile in a study. This installment is one of those that's here mostly to round out my ten. But I'll tell you why I bumped it up: unlike the season premiere, which thinks it's being a low-concept "slice of life" but is a little too artificially jokey and enamored of the metatheatrical wink in its Becky switch to really extend the series' everyday, relatable style, Eight's sophomore excursion narratively offers two simple ideas that make sense for these characters and the family. Now, there is some aggrandized, cartoonish playing — from Roseanne and Laurie Metcalf — that's more reflective of this heightened era, but they pull it off, and ultimately, I buy how these characters are being used (which isn't always so — see: this season's "Out Of The Past").
03) Episode 177: "The Last Date" (Aired: 10/24/95)
Roseanne and Dan crash a bar mitzvah at a local hotel.
Written by Eric Gilliland & Daniel Palladino | Directed by Gail Mancuso
One of the only scripts this year expressly credited to showrunner Eric Gilliland — who was second-in-command during the prior two years, succeeding Rob Ulin — and Daniel Palladino (who'll take the reins from Gilliland in Nine), this outing employs a memorably funny idea that otherwise has nothing to do with these characters or the particulars of Roseanne's world: Roseanne and Dan crashing a bar mitzvah. There are lots of easy laughs from this notion that nevertheless aren't great situation comedy because they lack an affiliation with the show's regular trappings. However, I include this entry here because of its simple subplot with Becky and Darlene — essentially a conversation — that probably confirms what we all knew years ago: Lecy Goranson is a better comic actress than Sarah Chalke, or more specifically, has a more natural and naturally humorous chemistry with the rest of the ensemble, so her return is a wholly positive development. More importantly, though, I count this as an example of Eight explicitly trying to be quiet and low-concept in one half to counteract a gaudy narrative idea in the other. And this dichotomy is perhaps never more obvious. (Also, Shecky Greene guests.)
04) Episode 184: "December Bride" (Aired: 12/12/95)
Roseanne plans a wedding for Leon and his fiancé.
Written by William Lucas Walker | Directed by Gail Mancuso
Something of a Very Special Episode, but without any of the false and unearned melodramatics or moralizing, this famous segment proudly boasts a Gay Wedding — probably the second sitcom wedding between two gay male characters ever (following Roc, in 1991), airing just a few weeks before Friends would offer the genre's first lesbian wedding. It's a gimmick that the show clearly uses to derive the bulk of this teleplay's comic value and narrative interest, supplanting the regular characters, who should be its driving force. Okay, to be fair, the wedding is for Martin Mull's Leon, who's been around for a while, so there is some attachment to the show's pre-existing elements, and it doesn't feel totally out-of-the-blue. But there's no denying it's one big stunt fest, with Fred Willard making his debut as Leon's soon-to-be husband Scott — it's a wink, since Mull and Willard used to costar on Fernwood 2-Night — and a lot of cameos, including from Milton Berle, June Lockhart, Norm Crosby, Alexis Arquette, and Mariel Hemingway (the woman who kissed Roseanne in Season Six). I'm not crazy about this circusy tone — and I think the explanation for how the plot gets Roseanne, of all people, to plan the wedding, is a bit strained — but it at least propels laughs about her lack of taste and the well-established Roseanne/Leon dynamic, and in a season where beggars can't be choosers, this unforgettable half hour has enough enjoyability to keep it from the "untouchable" pile, like so many of the year's other stunts. (Faint praise? Eh, it's the best I can do.)
05) Episode 185: "The Thrilla Near The Vanilla Extract" (Aired: 01/02/96)
Roseanne and Jackie get side jobs at the supermarket.
Written by Ed Yeager | Directed by Gail Mancuso
In another example of the show straining on behalf of narrative — moving far away from the low-concept domestic simplicity of its earliest days — this outing finds Roseanne and Jackie temporarily, and randomly, taking side jobs at the supermarket… Sigh. In earlier years, when the family was strapped for cash and working multiple jobs, I would have bought this, but by now, money does not seem to be a problem for the Conners, so this "side hustle" feels unearned — just an excuse to motivate a funny centerpiece where the two sisters compete as product sampling hostesses, culminating, you guessed it, in a food fight. That's amusing and memorable enough to elevate it above a lot of its competition, but it's quite a fall from the last big supermarket installment — when Roseanne taught Darlene's class how to be a housewife on a budget. C'est la vie… at least the subplot tries to find some genuine relational, character-led drama between David and Dan. (Also, Stan Freberg guests here, and appears in the next two installments as part of a running gag. Kathryn Joosten has a small role as well.)
06) Episode 186: "The White Sheep Of The Family" (Aired: 01/09/96)
Darlene's possibility for economic mobility alienates her from the family.
Written by David Raether | Directed by Gail Mancuso
My choice for this year's Most Valuable Episode (MVE), "The White Sheep Of The Family" is the point where Season Eight seems to pivot to the probability that the entire series will be concluding with its forthcoming finale. Accordingly, there starts to be more thought given to these characters' endgames, and where the show will leave them, hopefully indicating some significant evolution in the process. What this does, in particular, is allow the series to not only ponder how the leads have changed, but also to write scripts that ideally illustrate it, thereby being, if not totally character-driven, then character-centric. And, in evolving the characters, these scripts must also reconnect with the working-class blue-collar aspect of the series' identity — this family's history — which has been essentially ignored the last few years. Now, this entry is special because it does reconnect with that vital part of the series' DNA — and not just for a stunt or a gimmick or a self-congratulatory wink, but for a character-based drama that helps progress one of the leads, Darlene, towards the place that the series might leave her. So, while it's a bit jarring to see these themes all of a sudden return, when the Conners get a pop of money from a dead relative and then go out to eat at a fancy restaurant — with comedy coming from the fact that they're so out-of-place there (although, not as cartoonishly as the Bundys, when they went out to eat at a nice restaurant in 1989) — it's still such a seminal part of this series' makeup that we welcome it back, especially when the story then switches to being about Darlene's potential to escape their class, and possibly make something of herself like no other Conner ever has, connecting character to premise in a way that we haven't seen in such a long time. And the drama that comes from this notion — the idea that Darlene might become, as Roseanne says, "one of them," the people who have money and look down on the working folks who can't afford to reject any job — is interesting, relatable, and rooted in what was initially this series' thematic premise, its situation (not to mention Darlene's characterization, which is guiding). As a result, there was really no other choice. This is what Roseanne is supposed to be.
07) Episode 187: "Becky Howser, M.D." (Aired: 01/16/96)
Roseanne encourages Becky to make changes in her life.
Written by Sid Youngers | Directed by Gail Mancuso
In the same way that the above entry started to explore the future for Darlene ahead of a potential finale, this offering caters to Becky, who is feeling trapped in the tiny trailer she and Mark moved into last season — a visual reminder of the show's economic struggle, even as it's no longer reiterated like it should be in story. Well, in this case, there's some genuine affiliation to that original pillar of the series' identity, for Becky gave up all her dreams to run off with a man — just as Roseanne gave up her dreams to start a family. And now that Becky realizes that she wants more, and Roseanne is encouraging her to go for it, there's realistic, motivated relationship drama that develops with Mark, for what happens to him if Becky aspires for more than their life together? Like in the best of Roseanne's more dramatic outings, there are no easy answers, and the tension is earned by established character traits, supported by enough laughs to validate what the genre requires. As such, this is up there with the year's best — one of the few that, like my MVE, touches on some of the series' core ideals, examining characters comedically.
08) Episode 189: "Construction Junction" (Aired: 02/13/96)
Dan considers applying for a big-time construction job.
Written by Daniel Palladino | Directed by Gail Mancuso
While the two above installments focused on the girls, "Construction Junction" sets its sights on the family as a whole, as part of the year's misbegotten endgame crusade involves an actual narrative change to the Conners' economic fortune, for Dan has the opportunity to pursue a major construction job that would significantly elevate his family's prosperity. Now, as we know, the show basically abandoned its working-class economic drama in Season Five, revisiting it only to crassly proclaim that this family is "white trash" (in a tone that's neither persuasive nor humanistic), or, as we've just seen, to put the characters on the course to their endings. This is a bit odd; for it already feels like the Conners have become more economically prosperous — just look at their wardrobe. But, for the purposes of the series' possible conclusion, their ascension now has to become part of the narrative, so again, although it's disconcerting to see the show revisit something long ignored and pretend like nothing has happened, at least it is reengaging with a notion that we've never wanted it to lose. Also, this episode boasts a funny subplot where Jackie becomes addicted to the internet. So, lots of yuks here, in addition to thematic relevance.
09) Episode 190: "We're Going To Disney World" (Aired: 02/20/96)
With another pop of money, the Conner family plans a trip to Disney World.
Written by Matt Berry | Directed by Gail Mancuso
This season's shameless cross-promotion of Disney World — after Disney's purchase of ABC — is one of the noxious stunts that really indicates just how much the show had moved away from its initial realistic tenor and character-rooted low-concept sincerity (atypical attempts at closure in the above entries notwithstanding). Indeed, the actual on-location half hour is pretty dire, as is a follow-up excursion that parodies the Disney theme parks and their workers in a sketch-like one-joke gag that has little to do with Roseanne and its specifics. But this outing, which sets up the trip, is quite fun, with laughs and character moments — the Conners go on a plane! — that sort of offers what my MVE does in its restaurant scene, as this working-class family goes to an environment that's rare for them, subliminally reinforcing their thematic origins as a blue-collar bunch who ordinarily couldn't afford such an adventure. Thus, there's some value here for Roseanne and what the series is supposed to be, even though it only exists for a huge gimmick. (Of note: Sarah Chalke is back as Becky. Wink included.)
10) Episode 193: "Another Mouth To Shut Up" (Aired: 03/26/96)
Darlene announces she's pregnant and plans to marry David.
Teleplay by Janet Leahy & Richard Kaplan | Story by Eric Gilliland | Directed by Mark K. Samuels
After teasing the likelihood that Darlene is going to rise above the working/middle class of the Conners' world and end up the best of their lot, this installment counters with some relatable family dysfunction and a relationship-focus that affirms the series' mutual interest in being realistic and, to some extent, character-centric, for Darlene reveals that she's unexpectedly become pregnant and will now marry David. This, naturally, is tough for Roseanne and Dan, who similarly started a family so young, and had high hopes for this particular daughter and the opportunities ahead in her life. So, there's some well-motivated and situationally connected drama that, more than just being driven by the big narrative developments — as so many of the later episodes in Eight are: the wedding, Dan's heart attack, and the poorly supported fight that's supposed to separate Roseanne and Dan, allowing John Goodman to take many weeks off next season — is also truly concerned with character. For that reason, I am glad to highlight it here.
Other notable episodes that merit mention include: "The Getaway, Almost," which happily avoids a predictable bit with Jenna Elfman as a young hitchhiker in favor of a simpler, yet aimless A-story for Roseanne and Jackie, and also claims a decently funny subplot with Dan and Mark, "Of Mice And Dan," which is a lesser version of several earlier ideas, "Morning Becomes Obnoxious," a very meta outing where Roseanne becomes a TV star on a local morning news show and the script gets to make industry jokes that feel far away from what this series was built to be, and "The Wedding," which contains the big event of David and Darlene's wedding, but balances humanity and humor with some skill. Meanwhile, as far as gimmicks go, "Ballroom Blitz" notably guests the affable Tony Curtis, "Roseanne In The Hood," includes Pat Harrington Jr. and references his role as Schneider on One Day At A Time, "Fights And Stuff," is the season finale that culminates in a bizarre and forced fight between Roseanne and Dan, and "The Fifties Show," is a decent enough sketch… too bad it's the kind of self-indulgent tripe that's often attached to the show's metatheatrical wink, as it overstates Roseanne's importance to the sitcom genre, denying everything we actually care about in the process: its intended realism, blue-collar ethos, and believably comedic use of character.

William said "it's incredible, it really is" after being shown an experimental fusion reactor which the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) believes could help make the power source commercially viable.
Standing in the shadow of the Mast (Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak) Upgrade fusion experiment - a large cylindrical machine covered in wires and pipes - the duke joked with senior staff, saying: "It's very exciting, no pressure."
He added: "It's amazing science, it really is."
Fusion power - where atoms are combined rather than split as in a nuclear reactor - holds out the promise of almost unlimited supplies of clean energy.
It uses special forms of hydrogen as fuel, produces no greenhouse gases, and the only waste product is helium.
But harnessing and reining in the mighty forces involved is a daunting challenge, as at the heart of a fusion reactor is a super-hot cloud of electrically charged gas, or plasma, many times hotter than the sun's core.
After the tour, William was taken to the nearby control room at the UKAEA's Culham Science Centre in Abingdon and asked to press a large red button to start up the machine to mark the end of its five-year construction.
Professor Ian Chapman, UKAEA's chief executive who hosted the royal visit, told assembled staff: "Mast Upgrade will allow us to study hitherto inaccessible physics on how we can handle the heat exhausted from a fuel which is 10 times hotter than the sun.
"Even more than that, it will also tell us whether we can build fusion reactors in the future based on a more compact, and therefore cheaper, design. It really is a facility of enormous potential and importance."
He added: "Today we will operate the fuel at just a few hundreds of degrees, showing that assembly is complete and we are ready to commission the machine to operate at a hundred million degrees."
When William pushed the button, everyone turned towards a screen which showed the inside of the reactor, and when a purple plasma cloud was seen after a long wait, there was a spontaneous round of applause.

As everyone knows by now, New Orleans took a near-direct hit from Hurricane Isaac a few weeks ago. Â Coming on the anniversary of devastating Hurricane Katrina, this Category 1 storm did not have the devastating effect on the region or the city that we suffered back in 2005, although we did not escape harm completely. Â The slow-moving storm lumbered ashore, then sat on us, gushing rain for nearly 60 hours before crawling away to the midwest.
Fortunately the effect on the garden was truly minimal. Â The damage shown in the pictures below has already been repaired.

BOISE, Idaho – Legislation to amend Idaho state's constitution to expand the rights of crime victims and their families will get a hearing.
The Senate State Affairs Committee gave the OK for the hearing for the proposal brought before the panel Friday.
The proposal would change Idaho's 1994 Victim Rights Amendment by requiring victims to be timely notified of court proceedings involving suspects, as well as allowing victims to be heard during the legal process.
Similar proposals have failed in the Legislature in previous years. If approved, it could cost counties and local governments across Idaho up to $550,000 annually.
The amendment, dubbed Marsy's Law for Idaho, is named for a California woman killed in 1983 by her ex-boyfriend after he was released from jail without her being notified.

Over the last two months Project Fair Play has collected a staggering 15,000 football shirts (with more still coming in) in its four-yearly 'Shirt Amnesty' that coincides with the World Cup.
Fans were asked to dig out their unwanted or outgrown football shirts to donate via a network of 200 drop-off points - with the point at the Matchroom Stadium seeing over 50 shirts donated.
The old strips are now making their way directly to disadvantaged youngsters living in Brazil's favelas (or slums) ready to be worn with pride as the 20th World Cup kicks off in Rio de Janeiro on 12th June.
A British project will benefit too as some of the donated shirts will be recycled for cash, raising funds for the Wheelchair Football Association (WFA) –see www.thewfa.org.uk.
Project Fair Play initially launched four years ago when 20,000 football shirts were collected for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and distributed to townships throughout Johannesburg and Cape Town. The volume of shirts donated was staggering – the total shirt collection weighed the equivalent of 68 Steven Gerrards!
It returned this year to bring the joy of football to youngsters in Brazil living in favelas and facing issues like homelessness, disease, poor drinking water, malnutrition, no schooling and coercion into the armed drugs trade. Project Fair Play 2014 is also supporting football fans at home by giving those with disabilities the chance to enjoy the sport via the use of specially adapted powerchairs.
Manchester City's Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho Luis Roza says, "Project Fair Play is a great way to re-gift a pre-loved, unwanted or outgrown football shirt to someone who can't afford their own. Most fans will have a few shirts they no longer wear, and this is a great way for them to be put to good use.
Neuza Nascimento from CIACAC based in Parada de Lucas, adds "When the shirts were handed out the kids skipped off for a kick-about with huge smiles on their faces – they really are football crazy. Parada de Lucas is an impoverished community and, because of the dominant armed drugs trade, our children often lose their innocence so young.

Tom Onman: You really didn't give us much to go on here. What kind of rocks do you have? Different rocks rot at different rates and create a different look when you apply them. I like to use granite.

Lucifer: The Would-Be Prince of Darkness
by morgan india
"Oh, ginger lad. Soulless bastard, gives even me the creeps."
Someone's out pretending he's Lucifer, and the Devil is pissed.
Definitely a better episode than the last, but it still has a way to go. Thankfully, Lucifer seems to be ironing out the wrinkles from the pilot and second episode and bringing in something other than the COTW format. Plus, it's giving us more Trixie, and that is never a bad thing in my boots.
Starting off with the case of the week, the fairly standard trope of escort-killed-at-celebrity-party is in full effect, with about twenty red herrings in the process. Did anyone actually believe that Ty was the one who killed Ali? He may have the personality of a cardboard box but he never really seemed to be that big of a suspect to me. I spent most of the episode trying to care about the case this week, but it really is the weaker part of the show and just has a tendency to make me want to slap Lucifer. Thankfully, it looks like Chloe wants to do that half the time as well, so three points to Chloe. Perhaps it's just seeing Lucifer's behaviour around someone who is remarkably more moral and has better ethics than Lucifer that just makes him appear even more juvenile than usual. Stick him with Maze or Amenadiel and he shines, you can see just what makes him Lucifer.
I'm not going to go down a negative road, and I know this show is still in its teething period, but the things I do like about the show outweigh the bad, most of the time. Writing these reviews retroactively, it's easier to see where the weaker parts of the show are at the beginning of the series, and how many of them had been ignored or fixed by the thirteenth episode. I think that's what makes it rather frustrating at times. Ah well, Buffy the Vampire Slayer wasn't great its first season and now look at it.
Lucifer's impostor was probably the more interesting part of the episode for me, mostly because of how much of a non-threat the man wound up being. Although, to be fair, how many people do you suppose call themselves Lucifer Morningstar, especially in places like Los Angeles? Lucifer was rather disappointed with his impostor, and seeing him almost go off the deep end was brilliant. Maze's disappointment that Lucifer reined in his Dark Side was also note-worthy; I want to see more of the Lucifer that she knows, the one she ran with and the one she was made specifically to protect. A question though, is Maze's loyalty to Lucifer due to their shared history, or because she was designed to protect him and that's where her loyalty comes from? She hasn't been impressed with him lately and I want to see how Lucifer's desire to pal around with Chloe on cases will affect their relationship in the long term.
Going back to the Case of the Week and focusing on the good points, who else really liked seeing Lucifer throw Joe the Agent through the glass wall? It gave us another inkling of what sort of personality Lucifer has, but it has now given Chloe something to focus on and investigate as she looks into Lucifer's background. This is only going to lead to either Chloe being killed or injured, or causing someone else to get hurt in the crossfire. Both Lucifer and Chloe seem to have a habit of becoming obsessively fixated on something that catches their attention and not letting go, to the detriment to themselves, or other people. Or both. Lucifer himself has said he wants to punish the guilty, and as much as he claims he wants to leave his old life behind as the Ruler of Hell, he's doing the same thing on earth. He just has those pesky laws to contend with when the consequences of his actions spiral, even if he essentially gives them the middle finger at the same time.
I really want to see Chloe having to explain Lucifer's presence and actions while on crime scenes to her boss. Surely there has to be some problem with that, considering that Lucifer has already contaminated evidence and blown hastily thrown together sting operations for his own needs. However, I don't think we will be seeing Lucifer in the Time Out corner any time soon.
Maze's disappointment in Lucifer mirrors my own disappointment in Lucifer.
Jodi-Lynn O'Keefe has appeared as a guest star in a lot of my TV shows over the years, but she will always be Freddie Prinze Jr's narcissistic and vain ex-girlfriend in She's All That to me.
No Amenadiel this week.
Female Partygoer: "Yeah, he performed at a rap battle last week in the Valley."
Lucifer: "Every single part of that sentence horrifies me."
Trixie: "Is Lucifer a Magician!?"
Chloe: "Thanks for being cryptic in a super unhelpful way."
What do you guys want: more Lucifer the Devil, or Lucifer the Rookie Sidekick?

Lana Del Rey Explains Chemtrails Over The Country Club Artwork: 'These Are My Friends, This Is My Life'
'I'm not the one storming the capital, I'm literally changing the world by putting my life and thoughts and love out there on the table 24 seven,' she writes in a new note
Patrick Hosken patrickhosken 01/11/2021
Lana Del Rey's highly celebrated Norman Fucking Rockwell album dropped in August 2019, and for just about as long, the artist has been teasing its follow-up, Chemtrails Over the Country Club. On January 10, LDR finally gave her most substantive update on the LP yet, sharing its tracklist and cover art in a series of posts on Instagram.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ4W2J-h5pO/
https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ4W4esByF2/
The album, her seventh, will feature 11 songs, including a title track and one called "Tulsa Jesus Freak." According to her posts, it has no listed features. "There's always turmoil and upheaval and in the midst of it- there's always beautiful music too," LDR wrote in the caption accompanying the cover. "Introducing my new album chemtrails over the country club."
In addition to the photo, which finds the artist smiling surrounded by a group of women gathered around a table adorned with a country club-ready gingham tablecloth, LDR shared another pic of her and three others adorned with pearls and tiaras, teasing a new "music video out tomorrow." That clip dropped on Monday (January 11), for the song "Chemtrails Over the Country Club."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBHild0PiTE
Also notable is the top comment Lana left on her post announcing the album cover, which seemed to address backlash she received last year after calling out critics and fellow artists in an impassioned note. In the new comment, she wrote:
I also want to say that with everything going on this year! And no this was not intended-these are my best friends, since you are asking today. And damn! As it happens when it comes to my amazing friends and this cover yes there are people of color on this records picture and that's all I'll say about that but thank you.
My beautiful friend Valerie from Del Rio Mexico, my dearest friend Alex and my gorgeous friend Dakota Rain as well as my sweetheart Tatiana. these are my friends this is my life. We are all a beautiful mix of everything- some more than others which is visible and celebrated in everything I do. In 11 years working I have always been extremely inclusive without even trying to. My best friends are rappers my boyfriends have been rappers. My dearest friends have been from all over the place, so before you make comments again about a WOC/POC issue, I'm not the one storming the capital, I'm literally changing the world by putting my life and thoughts and love out there on the table 24 seven. Respect it.
Chemtrails Over the Country Club is due out later in 2021. Find a teaser for the album here, and watch her perform the album cut "Let Me Love You Like a Woman" on The Tonight Show below.

Archie Miller: "I Don't Believe URI Takes A Back Seat To Anybody"
The former Dayton and Indiana coach is ready to put his stamp on Rhody
New University of Rhode Island men's basketball head coach Archie Miller was introduced by the school in a press conference on Monday, March 23, 2022. Miller is well known for his playing days at North Carolina as well as more recently coaching at Dayton and Indiana. Soon after the press conference he sat down with Stone Freeman for this wide ranging one-on-one conversation.
Freeman, whose association with URI has been lengthy and varied, had many issues on his mind, particularly after the Ram's just-ended disappointing season. He had also solicited topics and questions from Rams fans on social media.
The men discussed where exactly Miller will begin, recruiting, The A-10 conference, current players, the portal and his close friendship with Providence coach Ed Cooley among other topics.
Miller was convincing and confident in his answers and belief that he will be ushering in a brand new era of success and renown for the URI men's basketball program.
