Divas on Screen: Black Women in American Film (BOOK REVIEW)
Divas on Screen:
Black Women in American Film
by Mia Mask
Paperback, $25.00
320 pages, Illustrated
Book Review by Kam Williams
"By examining the persona of five African-American women celebrities, Divas [on Screen] seeks to push the discussion of African-American celebrity beyond the 'good, politically progressive role model' versus 'bad, regressive black stereotype,' binary that stifles dialogue and divides scholars. Instead, the ensuing chapters address how African-American celebrity functions as a social phenomenon. This is not to minimize the prevalence of racial stereotypes in the 21st Century…
But the focus of Divas is slightly different. It asks: what can we learn from the complex and contradictory careers of successful black women? Where do we find African-Americans in the performative, 'other-directed,' narcissistic culture? What does African-American stardom as a social phenomenon reveal about the aspirations of black folks in the 21st Century? How have African-Americans—in their struggle for inclusion in commercial entertainment—complied with dominant culture?"
-- Excerpted from the Introduction (pg. 4)
Vassar Professor Mia Mask has both a bigger vocabulary and a higher IQ than I do, judging by how often she had me reaching for the dictionary and by the many, marvelous insights about cinema she makes that had never occurred to this film critic before. So consider this a fair warning: this sage sister's book, "Divas on Screen: Black Women in American Film" is not light reading but an academic enterprise of considerable substance. That being said, those willing to make the intellectual effort are likely to find themselves richly rewarded by the author's fresh perspective, priceless pearls of wisdom and impressive background in terms of the cultural, biographical and historical contexts.
The title might strike you as a bit of a misnomer, for it suggests more expansive coverage of African-American actresses than the five icons focused on here, namely, Dorothy Dandridge, Whoopi Goldberg, Pam Grier, Halle Berry and Oprah. Yet, Professor Mask's unorthodox approach to the subject still feels comprehensive for, along the way, she manages to incorporate bon mots about many of their accomplished contemporaries.
As for that primary quintet, each enjoys her own chapter. Blaxploitation era idol Pam Grier is given her props for playing macho roles which placed an "emphasis on her body in such a way as to create an image of phallic femininity." At the other extreme, early pioneer Dorothy Dandridge is credited with cultivating "a public persona of respectable, black bourgeois womanhood, feminine beauty, and domesticity."
Dr. Mask describes Whoopi as an actress excluded from typical romantic screen liaisons whose repertoire instead reflects an inclination to disrupt "the dominant social order" which explains why she has so frequently defied conventional notions about race, gender and sexuality. Of course, Halle and Oprah's careers are deconstructed, too, and in a thought-provoking fashion that will prevent you from thinking of them in the same way ever again.
A fascinating, feminist examination of a struggle for self-definition in the face of a dominant culture and an entertainment industry perfectly comfortable with serving up stereotypical images of black women designed for mass consumption.

Let me think, let me think, what can I do?
The boy that I once knew?
The life I gave to you?
What will I do with it now?
Could you be more to me?
Feeling so right, to be wrong!
Couldn't have been so wrong!
He couldn't have been so wrong!


DEDE AHMET Myftar Ahmataj is the cleric, patriot, bektashi erudite, who in essence deserves to be called so. He has remained in the history of bektashism, in the most serious climax of appraisal.
He remains highly considerate not only in Albania and in the local ethnical plan but even broader, in the whole world of faith and predication of wisdom.
DEDE AHMET was the man who could synchronize perfectly life with civilization, faith with wisdom, speaking with acting, wisdom with justice, reflecting this way the real human image. He has been one of the greatest clerics that rarely, very rarely and in great difficulties are born people and epochs.
He is the testimony of faith, a rare demonstration of human miracle, trusted witness of the divine gift, promoter of the new existence, further evolution of Bektashism in Albania, and in all other countries where the heart of faith beats for God, for the Only and true God.
He overcomes time with the holy attributes, giving humanity his soul, hope and unforgettable presence from all and for all, shining messages calling us to the appeal of virtue, in order to transform in flourishing garden the spiritual deserts where it has germinated the indifference, arrogance, prepotency, egoism, and the being found of material life, the appearance of various ideologies and personalities with acts and evil thinking.
DEDE AHMET Myftar Ahmataj was born in Brataj, Vlorë on 22nd of February in 1916. He went to the local school from 1924 up to 1929. In 25th of March in 1937 he joined the army of Dibra, and after having completed it, he wore the Clerical Uniform of Bektashism, Dervish in the Blaca tekke with Baba Zeneli, where he stayed up to 1939. After this he served at some other tekkes like at Baba Muharrem in Elbasan, in Turan of Tepelena, in Vlora up to 1942. From 1942 up to May of 1944 he fought bravely in the lines of the National Antifascists Liberator Army. He was involved in the 18th brigade in the column of Martanesh, Kavaja, Elbasan, Peza. In this Column he was given the grade of Commissar of the Column. In 1943 he was isolated in Portoromano, Durres. After the isolation he passed to the Partisan File of Shijak, where he was seriously wounded.
With the independence of the country on 1945, he served in the Kuzum Baba Tekke in Vlora and was promoted "Baba" up to 1948. In this Tekke he offered a lot of love and respect to people and believer, not only to Vlora people but all over Albania. He served to his people and most of all to his Nation. The period of reconstruction of the country would find him to work through volunteer actions for the reconstruction and forestation of the hills of Vlora with olives.
In 1948 he was nominated in the highest post "World Leader of Bektashi" in the World Headquarter of Bektashi Order in Tirana, where he served up to 1958. Under his direction the Bektashism in Albania had a very impressive growth, at the same time his presentation in the International arena was dignified. His wisdom, oratory, attitude, simplicity, directive skills, gathered to the bektashi tekke love and respect. Master of the Arabic and Turkish language. He guided working groups and special staff in theology, history, languages translating a lot of literature in favor of the bektashism clergy. In this way he would serve to the road of wisdom, its stimulation to all bektashi people, creating special courses for theological calculation history and philosophy of Bektashism.
In 1967 and up to 1980, the year in which he passed away, even though he was sick with war wounds in his body, got to be closed with simplicity and love, he lived at his brother's, Kadri Ahmataj, house, in Tirana, among believer who followed him with all the strength of their love until time of death.
For special merits in the National Antifascists Liberator Army and in the period of reconstruction of the country, the Parliament accorded him a series of medals and orders.
We remember DEDE AHMET in the immortality of time, which asks for our consideration not to be only emotional or ceremonial but known honor, a well known one. Glory to the Cleric, Patriot, Philosopher and to the distinctive Bektashi.
DEDE AHMET has remained a respectful and loved religious personality in Albania and throughout the world.


With a bang we start the second episode of Legends of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue Thesis. Continuing right before we left Reinhard von Lohengramm leading the charge to victory, we jump back to right before the beginning of the Battle of Astarte.
The first episode probably left everyone viewing the Free Planets Alliance as rather incompetent. None of the fleet commanders seem capable of warding off a rookie leader. This second episode does a great deal of countering that perception. Yang Wen-li is cautious about the potential success of the Imperials. Throughout the episode he demonstrates his innate ability to be three steps ahead. He plans out the failure of the other fleets and saves the day.
This is only the beginning of the power struggle between Reinhard von Lohengramm and Yang Wen-li. It is going to be exciting to watch the interplay between the two master tacticians.
Also in this episode is more beautiful space battles. They are mostly in CG, but for the most part do not clash with the rest of the standard animation. They truly make it feel like two colossal navies crashing against each other interspersed with the massive destruction seen from the bridge of the starships. This second episode begins to actually make the battles feel like a massive loss of life. Seeing the death inside the 6th Fleet's bridge, and Yang's compatriot, while short-lived in screen time, brings some humanity to the emptiness of the first episode.
The second episode continues to build on a fun space-faring series. Hopefully each episode continues to bring more tactical excitement from Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

Part-of-speech tagging
Part-of-speech tagging is the process of marking up the words in a text with their corresponding parts of speech. People commonly learn a simplified form of this in their early years of school, identifying nouns, verbs, and so on. However, the term is generally used to refer to computer algorithms to do much the same thing.
Part-of-speech tagging is harder than just having a list of words and their parts of speech, because some words can represent more than one part of speech at different times. This is not rare -- in many (all?) languages, a huge percentage of word-forms are ambiguous. For example, even "dogs" which is usually thought of as a just a plural noun, can also be a verb:
The sailor dogs the hatch.
"Dogged", on the other hand, can be either an adjective or a past-tense verb. Just which parts of speech a word can represent varies greatly.
Schools commonly teach that there are 8 parts of speech in English: noun, verb, adjective, preposition, pronoun, adverb, conjunction, and interjection. However, there are clearly many more categories and sub-categories. For example, adjectives divide into sub-classes for color, size, number, and other types of properties. And this is not just at the semantic level, because when these sub-types come together, they can only go in certain syntactic orders:
The three big red dogs
is grammatical, but
The red three big dogs
is not. For nouns, plural, possessive, and singular forms can be distinguished. In many languages words are also marked for their "case" (role as subject, object, etc.), grammatical gender, and so on; while verbs are marked for tense, aspect, and other things. In part-of-speech tagging by computer, it is typical to distinguish from 50 to 150 separate parts of speech for English. Work on stochastic methods for tagging Koine Greek has used over 1,000 parts of speech, and found that about as many words were ambiguous there as in English.
Research on part-of-speech tagging has been closely tied to corpus linguistics. The first major corpus of English for computer analysis was the Brown Corpus developed at Brown University by Henry Kucera and Nelson Francis, in the mid-1960s. It consists of about 1,000,000 words of running English prose text, made up of 500 samples from randomly chosen publications. Each sample is 2,000 or more words (ending at the first sentence-end after 2,000 words, so that the corpus contains only complete sentences).
The Brown Corpus was painstakingly "tagged" with part-of-speech markers over many years. A first approximation was done with a program by Greene and Rubin, which consisted of a huge handmade list of what categories could co-occur at all. For example, article then noun can occur, but article verb (arguably) cannot. The program got about 70% correct. Its results were repeatedly reviewed and corrected by hand, and later users sent in errata, so that by the late 70s the tagging was nearly perfect (allowing for some cases even human speakers might not agree on).
This corpus has been used for innumerable studies of word-frequency and of part-of-speech, and inspired the development of similar "tagged" corpora in many other languages. Statistics derived by analyzing it formed the basis for most later part-of-speech tagging systems, such as CLAWS and VOLSUNGA. However, by this time (2005) it has been superseded by larger corpora such as the 100 million word British National Corpus.
For some time, part-of-speech tagging was considered an inseparable part of natural language processing, because there are certain cases where the correct part of speech cannot be decided without understanding the semantics or even the pragmatics of the context. This is extremely expensive, especially because analyzing the higher levels is much harder when multiple part-of-speech possibilities must be considered for each word.
In the mid 1980s, researchers in Europe began to use Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) to disambiguate parts of speech, when working to tag the Lancaster-Oslo-Bergen Corpus of British English. HMMs involve counting cases (such as from the Brown Corpus), and making a table of the probabilities of certain sequences. For example, once you've seen an article, perhaps the next word is a noun 40% of the time, an adjective 40%, and a number 20%. Knowing this, a program can decide that "can" in "the can" is far more likely to be a noun than a verb or a modal. The same method can of course be used to benefit from knowledge about following words.
More advanced ("higher order") HMMs learn the probabilities not only of pairs, but triples or even larger sequences. So, for example, if you've just seen an article and a verb, the next item may be very likely a preposition, article, or noun, but even less likely another verb.
When several ambiguous words occur together, the possibilities multiply. However, it is easy to enumerate every combination and to assign a relative probability to each one, by multiplying together the probabilities of each choice in turn. The combination with highest probability is then chosen. The European group developed CLAWS, a tagging program that did exactly this, and achieved accuracy in the 93-95% range.
It is worth remembering, as Eugene Charniak points out in Statistical techniques for natural language parsing [1] (http://www.cs.brown.edu/people/ec/home.html), that merely assigning the most common tag to each known word and the tag "proper noun" to all unknowns, will approach 90% accurate because many words are unambiguous.
CLAWS pioneered the field of HMM-based part of speech tagging, but was quite expensive since it enumerated all possibilities. It sometimes had to resort to backup methods when there were simply too many (the Brown Corpus contains a case with 17 ambiguous words in a row, and there are words such as "still" that can represent as many as 7 distinct parts of speech).
In 1987, Steve DeRose and Ken Church independently developed dynamic programming algorithms to solve the same problem in vastly less time. Their methods were similar to the Viterbi algorithm known for some time in other fields. DeRose used a table of pairs, while Church used a table of triples and an ingenious method of estimating the values for triples that were rare or nonexistent in the Brown Corpus (actual measurement of triple probabilities would require a much larger corpus). Both methods achieved accuracy over 95%. DeRose's 1990 dissertation at Brown University included analyses of the specific error types, probabilities, and other related data, and replicated his work for Greek, where it proved similarly effective.
These findings were surprisingly disruptive to the field of Natural Language Processing. The accuracy reported was higher than the typical accuracy of very sophisticated algorithms that integrated part of speech choice with many higher levels of linguistic analysis: syntax, morphology, semantics, and so on. CLAWS, DeRose's and Church's methods did fail for some of the known cases where semantics is required, but those proved negligibly rare. This convinced many in the field that part-of-speech tagging could usefully be separated out from the other levels of processing; this in turn simplified the theory and practice of computerized language analysis, and encouraged researchers to find ways to separate out other pieces as well. Markov Models are now the standard method for part-of-speech assignment.
The methods already discussed involve working from a pre-existing corpus to learn tag probabilities. It is also possible to bootstrap, using "unsupervised" tagging. Unsupervised tagging techniques use an untagged corpus for their training data and produce the tagset by induction. That is, they observe patterns in word use, and derive part-of-speech categories themselves. For example, statistics readily reveal that "the", "a", and "an" occur in similar contexts, while "eat" occurs in very different ones. With sufficient iteration, similarity classes of words emerge that are remarkably similar to those human linguists would expect; and the differences themselves sometimes suggest valuable new insights.
These two categories can be further subdivided into rule-based, stochastic, and neural approaches. Some current major algorithms for part-of-speech tagging include the Viterbi algorithm, Brill Tagger, and the Baum-Welch algorithm (also known as the forward-backward algorithm). Hidden Markov model and visible Markov model taggers can both be implemented using the Viterbi algorithm.

I can't believe all our hope is now placed in you-know-who (end credits scene), she isn't a very admirable person in the comics. Who knows, the movie adaptation of her character may be better.
Marvel made a really good plot twist when Superman came to help Captain America defeat Thanos.
So I uh.. I noticed a lot of people coming up to me asking if I was the mod to which I responded with no. All I wanna ask is..
I genuinely cannot stand it when someone asks a good artist to draw them for free. Like no, stop.
How about if they say an artist is not a real job?
Isnt that just the worst!
I crash everytime I trade on mobile, does anyone else havw this issue?
So I haven't been online for what seems like 27304 years, but Im back! I've been busy. I recently became a certified EMT, so Ive been working the whole time I was gone. Anyway, what have I missed?

What did you do to Georgie?!
Ya'll, what should I do.
Next year I'll be taking EMT classes (emergency medical technician) but should I do it? Recently Ive been kinda low about the ems. The EMS is amazing, no doubt, but Ive been wondering if its for me. Ive done standbys, countless hours of training, and more, but just last week I had a panic attack that lasted 15 minutes while I was training and I just couldn't calm down. What should I do? Do I take the EMT course or move on from the EMS?
Ok Google, I have a rash on my leg.

Ever heard of Wanna One? Check 'em out!
I swear Wanna One has drama following them everywhere XD... but my bias is Daniel.
I always look at my blood donor ID whenever I'm feeling sad, because it always says "B Positive."
So many people I know have diabetes.
My friend's younger sister has type one diabetes now.
U, I'm sorry you have to deal with that, I'm in EMS Training and we have to do diabetic emergencies sometimes and I can see how hard it must be.
I get that deep feeling whenever I listen to Cant Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley, the only king of music.


A big dish of creamy polenta is the perfect choice for cold, wintery days, topped with your favorite tomato sauce or a spoonful of slow cooked stew. My family loves polenta, but the traditional way of cooking it on the stovetop is a bit fussy, and requires about 45 minutes and LOTS of stirring. Because of the effort involved, I honestly do not cook polenta that often. I recently began to bake my polenta in the oven and find it a much easier way to prepare it, and although it still takes a minimum of 45 minutes to cook, it requires only one or two stirrings and you end up with the same creamy polenta that you would if you cooked it on the stove. If you have invited Nonna for dinner, she will not even notice that the polenta was baked instead of carefully cooked on the stove, though she might not approve of this less than traditional preparation method so I would keep that to yourself!
Polenta is so versatile, so do not simply look at it and think "mushy cornmeal". My family actually prefers it spooned soft into a bowl and topped with a flavorful tomato sauce and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese, but you can cool the polenta on a baking sheet until firm and then cut it into pieces and fry or grill it as a side dish, or cut the polenta (once cooled) into layers and create a lasagna type of dish using meat, sauce, and cheese which is also very tasty.
Although I chose to use grated Parmesan in this version, you can replace the Parmesan with Gorgonzola, or even goat cheese, or skip the cheese and simply leave the polenta simple. A spoonful of polenta makes a great side dish or platform for stews or braised meats, and is a great alternative to mashed potatoes or rice.
There are varieties of "instant" polenta on the market, but I really prefer the texture of the longer cooking polenta, and when you bake it as this recipe does, it is almost effortless. You can use any medium grain cornmeal to make polenta, although for this recipe I used Bob's Red Mill Stone Ground 100% Whole Grain, Medium Grind cornmeal which I found took a little longer to bake than regular cornmeal.
Bake for 45 minutes, then stir well, and bake another 10 to 15 minutes or until creamy and smooth.
Let stand 5 minutes to slightly firm, then serve as desired.

Man too lazy to walk to shops crashed his wife's car driving without licence, then fled the scene
The court heard Clough isn't insured to drive and doesn't hold a driving licence
Gayle McDonaldContent Editor

A court has been told a husband took his wife's car without permission because he was too lazy to walk to the shops, and fled the scene after crashing into a wall.
Magistrates were told Lee Clough had been drinking before he got into the car, and was speeding before the accident - which left his friend injured.
The court also heard Mr Clough, 32, has no licence or insurance to drive.
Richard Parkhouse, prosecuting, said Clough failed to stop after the crash into sa wall on Harwell Street on plymouth on his way back from Aldi, despite being told to do so by witnesses, and was later arrested by officers.

Mr Parkhouse said Clough's wife had not given him permission to use the vehicle but she had not made a complaint to police, reports the Plymouth Herald.
The court heard that on the day of the collision - November 13 - Clough had consumed two pints of cider while eating a meal at a pub.
Graham Kinchin, mitigating, said Clough, of Neswick Street, was remorseful and accepted he had made a mistake.
He said: "If there was an award for stupidity, Mr Clough would probably win it.
"This shouldn't have happened. There was no need for this to happen."
Mr Kinchin said the decision to take his wife's car came from "general laziness".
He added that his client was having marriage difficulties and that the couple had plans to go on a make or break holiday to Portugal next week.
The court heard Clough has been diagnosed with type three kidney failure, pleurisy – a condition that causes fluid on the lungs – and Type 1 diabetes.
Mr Kinchin said: "He feels everything is going wrong in his life, which culminated in this particular incident, which he very much regrets."
Clough, who has eight previous convictions for 12 different offences, pleaded guilty to failing to stop after a collision, driving without due care and attention, driving without a licence and driving without insurance.
He was also in breach of a conditional discharge which he was given after he stole a dart scoreboard from a pub.
Sentencing, the magistrates said no action would be taken against the breach.
The bench handed Clough a 15 month community order, during which he must complete a thinking skills programme and 200 hours of unpaid work.
He was also disqualified from driving for 12 months and ordered to pay a £75 victim surcharge and £75 in court costs.


The school raised money and recieved donated items to be placed in shoe boxes provided by the Rotary Club. These boxes are then sent around the world to provide others with a Christmas box that they might otherwise not have had.
We were very pleased to have been able to make up 30 shoe boxes for children aged between 2 and 18 years of age. The school council kindly donated £30 to cover the transport costs for each box.
Mrs Milway attended a assembly on the 17th November to recieve the shoe boxes, thank the children and give out Rota Kids badges.

Riverside trail meeting draws foes, defenders
Seth Slabaugh
Muncie Star Press
MUNCIE, Ind. — City officials who will take office on Jan. 1 are calling for compromise and cooperation after attending a contentious meeting on the proposed West Riverside Avenue trail.
Republican Mayor-elect Dan Ridenour — a distance runner who lives five blocks south of the intended trail — says "the best possible thing anyone (opposed to the project) can do to alleviate fears" is to meet with the project's professional designers. He noted the trail's blueprint is less than a third finished.
Democratic city council member-elect Jeff Robinson is critical of the lack of public knowledge of the project early on but is afraid "the worst possible scenario" will occur if opponents "dig their heels in." Echoing Ridenour, Robinson sees "a lot of wiggle room" between now and the final design.
It was reported during a recent meeting at Westminster Presbyterian Church that only a handful of 38 property owners residing along the project have agreed to meet with designers so far.
The distance between the proposed trail and houses reportedly averages 45 feet, though one home is only 25 feet away. The majority of homes are two car lengths from the trail as well.
The state has earmarked $640,000 to cover 80% of the estimated cost of the trail, which would run more for more than a mile between the Morrison Road/Jackson Street Roundabout and Christy Woods at Ball State University.
More than 60 people attended the Westminster church meeting. Opponents complained about the trail's intrusion across yards and driveways and the loss of shade trees, while proponents stressed safety for walkers, runners, bicyclists, strollers, dog walkers and other trail users.
"We've got legitimate concerns," said retiree Mary Ann Kratochvil, a former city controller. "We don't live in Russia … We haven't given up yet."
Another opponent, Lisa Stanley, asked Jay Julian, the local chamber of commerce president and one of the leaders of Next Muncie, a backer of the project, "Is this a done deal — yes or no?"
When he answered that the intent is to proceed but in a way that minimizes impacts on adjacent property owners, Stanley told him that "our comments truly don't matter to anyone." To which Julian replied, "That's not true." The project can be improved if homeowners are willing to engage, he went on.
Another trail critic complained that if the city cuts down the shade trees along the trail route and replaces them with "bean pole trees," the trail's asphalt surface will burn dogs' feet on sunny days.
David LeBlanc, a Ball State professor, told the opponents that the only place to walk or bike in the neighborhood is in the street, which "scares the bejesus out of me."
"I have a new puppy," he went on. "Walking that new puppy … is such a pain in the butt. We're in the street. Cars freak him out. Cars freak me out."
Despite wearing reflective clothing, a head lamp and a blinking red light, LeBlanc remains "scared to death that I'm going to get run over on these streets, even the back streets."
Another trail proponent, Natalie Gates, who has seen neighbors pushing strollers down the streets of the neighborhood, said the level of maintenance of the streets is not really adequate for pedestrians or bikers.
The area is neither bike friendly nor pedestrian friendly, said Chris Flook, a lecturer at Ball State.
City-county plan commission director Marta Moody, and other officials who who spoke at the meeting, cited studies, master plans and action plans going back two decades that documented "long and widespread" public support for trails in Muncie, including connectivity between trails and the lack of trails/parks/green space in the area of West Riverside.
But Donna Browne, a Ball State grant writer and longtime board member of the Muncie Action Plan, said those efforts resulted in "a plan with some generic thought on where trails might be. This situation is not generic. This situation is concrete to all of us who own property along this route. When a plan becomes real … there must be communication with stakeholders."
And there was none until after the route had been selected, she said. "That should not be — ever."
A Ball State official said the university has plans, though no funding identified yet, to upgrade the asphalt trail on Riverside between Westminster Presbyterian Church and the Charles W. Brown Planetarium.
The proposed trail would connect the Morrison Road Trail to the Christy Woods Trail.
Some opponents have asked why the city can't just add curbs and a sidewalk with decorative lamps along Riverside.
The problem with that option is the state funding for the project calls for a trail wide enough to accommodate multiple users, not just a sidewalk for pedestrians.
The proposed trail's only cost to local taxpayers is for tree removal.
The city's urban forestry committee, according to chairman Jason Donati, is willing to work with the neighborhood to replace the removal of large shade trees with a diverse variety of good-size trees through American Electric Power's tree-planting program.
Donati said he's talking about replacement trees two inches in diameter and six or seven feet tall.
Too many of Muncie's street trees are soft, fast-growing silver maples that belong on river banks, not on streets where they are prone to losing branches and create a safety hazard, Donati said.

Ear infections and/or fluid in the middle ear may become a chronic problem leading to other issues such as hearing loss, behavior, and speech problems. In these cases, insertion of an ear tubes may be considered.
Ear tubes are often recommended when a person experiences repeated middle ear infection or has hearing loss caused by the persistent presence of middle ear fluid. These conditions most commonly occur in children, but can also be present in teens and adults and can lead to speech and balance problems, hearing loss, or changes in the structure of the ear drum.

A visit to the ancient monastery,
castle and church in Taghmon
Saint Munna's Church, Taghmon, stands on the the site of the monastery founded in the seventh century by Saint Fintan Munnu (Photograph: Patrick Comerford, 2015)
At the end of my overnight stay in Bunclody, Co Wexford, last weekend, I visited Saint Anne's churchyard in Killanne's to see the grave of John Kelly, "the Boy from Killanne," and to visit Saint Munna's Church in Taghmon, as part of my research on the life of the Revd Henry Francis Lyte, the hymn-writer and author of Abide with me, who was a curate in the south Co Wexford parish 200 years ago.
Taghmon is about 14 km west of Wexford, just south of the main road linking Wexford and New Ross, and according to the 2011 census has a population of 1,060.
Saint Munna's Church, Taghmon, stands on the the site of an early monastic settlement founded in the seventh century by Saint Fintan Munnu, who gives his name to Taghmon.
Saint Fintan Munna, also known as Saint Munna of Taghmon or Saint Fintan, was born in the mid-sixth century. He was named Fionn, and this was prefixed with the word Mo, meaning "My Fionn." Over time, this changed to Munna. He studied at Devenish in Co Fermanagh and at Kilmore, Co Cavan.
He travelled to Iona in Scotland in the year 597 to visit Saint Columba or Colmcille. Munna founded several churches there before returning to Ireland where he visited East Clare. He finally came to Leinster and is associated with the fortified church at Taghmon, Co Westmeath. He later established a church, known as Teach Munna or the "House of Munna," in Co Wexford. This was also shortened to Taghmon.
Saint Munna has been generally regarded as a harsh and strict taskmaster and this is reflected in some of the stories about his life. For example, it is said that after a sojourn in Scotland he did not visit his own people, and he threatened to leave Ireland if his relations came near him again.
It is also recalled that Saint Munna was "less than pleasant" to the virgins who asked for his blessing, that he put a curse on Ard Crema when the monks asked him to leave the place, and that an angel warned him that he treated his monks too harshly.
Saint Munna's obduracy is shown in the debate about dating Easter. In 525, Rome adopted a new system based on a more accurate lunar cycle of 19 years, compared to an older system said to have been brought to Ireland by Saint Patrick. At a convention in Old Leighlin in 630 called to discuss the matter, Munna vigorously led the opposition to the new system. Although he lost the debate, the old dating system persisted in parts of Ireland for many years.
Yet, in the Martyrology of Donegal, Saint Munna is credited with the patience of Job for the way in which he endured his leprosy.
According to the Annals of the Four Masters, Saint Munna died on 21 October 634 and his feast was celebrated on that date. The Annals of Ulster also give 634 as the year of his death. It seems certain that he was buried in his monastery in Taghmon.
Saint Munna's monastery in Taghmon once had around 230 monks. Although it was plundered by the Vikings in 917, the monastery lasted until l061, when it is recorded in the Annals of Inishfallen that Domhnall Deisech died there.
The monastery at Taghmon was later granted by Dermod Mac Murrough, last King of Leinster, to the Abbey at Ferns, becoming an Augustinian house.
Two portions of a once-magnificent granite cross are all that remain of Saint Munna's monastery (Photograph: Patrick Comerford, 2015)
All that remains of Saint Munna's early monastic settlement are two portions of a once-magnificent granite cross inside the entrance gates, close to the north-west corner of the church.
The High Cross of Taghmon has an elegant simplicity. It is said to date from the ninth century and to have been vandalised by Vikings.
The shaft of the cross is missing, the head is turned on its side and one of the arms is set in the granite base. The head is decorated on each side with moulding and bears five plain bosses on each face – one in the centre and one on each terminal. The huge truncated pyramidal shaped cross base stands 1.18 metres high and bears a ring-less cross in false relief on one of its faces.
The graveyard around Saint Munna's Church is ancient and has many old vaults and tombstones.
Taghmon Castle belonged to the Talbot family and later to the Hore family (Photograph: Patrick Comerford, 2015)
After the arrival of the Anglo-Normans in Co Wexford in the 12th and 13th centuries, Taghmon Castle was built as a towerhouse or keep beside the church.
There are references to the Manor at Taghmon from the early 15th century, when it was held by the Talbot family and the descendants of Sir Gilbert Talbot, Lord of Wexford.
In 1549, William Hore was the custodian of Taghmon Castle, and the castle seems to have passed to his descendants, who still owned the castle in the 19th cntury. Today is sadly neglected and in state of advanced dereliction.
The castle has a partly blocked round-headed doorway in the east wall, corbels of a machicolation at roof level and bartizans at the south-east and north-west corners. Above the doorway is a large "murder hole" or possibly the space to accommodate a portcullis.
The tower is vaulted above the ground floor and there are three storeys above the vault. A straight mural stairway rises to the right of the doorway. It becomes a spiral in the north-west corner above the third floor. There is a garde-robe in the south-west corner above the vault. There are two fireplaces in the west wall.

From the 18th century, Taghmon was united to the parishes of Ballyconnick and Ballymitty. The prosperity of Taghmon rested on trade and traffic passing along the main road between New Ross and Wexford, and when the road was realigned and Taghmon was bypassed, it became dependent on fair days and went into an economic decline in the 19th century that was never reversed.
A hint of that earlier prosperity can be glimpsed in the few surviving and once-elegant Georgian doorways, houses and shopfronts.
A plaque on the walls of the churchyard records that Henry Francis Lyte was the curate of Taghmon 200 years ago (Photograph: Patrick Comerford, 2015)
In his Topographical Dictionary, Samuel Lewis notes that the parish of Taghmon was attached to the prebendal stall of Taghmon in Saint Edan's Cathedral, Ferns.
After the 1798 Rising, the Revd Simon Little was Rector of Taghmon (1813-1823), and his most famous curate was the Revd Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1845), the hymnwriter and author of Abide with me, who was the curate of Taghmon 200 years ago from 1815 to 1817.
The present Saint Munna's Church was built in 1819 on the site of an early monastic site and previous churches, and an earlier, square, embattled tower from an earlier church was incorporated in the present church building.
On 16 January 1817, a year after the restoration and rebuilding of Saint Edan's Cathedral in Ferns, the Rector of Taghmon, the Revd Simon Little, and the Select Vestry of the parish discussed the "ruinous state" of the church. They agreed to apply to the Board of First Fruits for a loan of £800 to rebuild the church, and two months later, on 24 March 1817, they decided to borrow £1,000 to rebuild the church or build a new one.
The committee appointed to oversee the project included the Revd Simon Little, Rector of Taghmon, the curate, the Revd George Jones, Walter Hore of Harperstown, Colonel William Pemberton Pigott of Slevoy Castle, and Thomas Phillips. By 1818, the old church had been pulled and, although there are no to the architect or the builder, the church was rebuilt by 1819 and the date MDCCCXIX was placed over the main door.
The church was simple in plan with a nave and a vestry. The tower of the original church was restored but the nave now faced in a different direction. The church was Gothic in style with splendid windows providing plenty of light, and the walls were of local stone or stone salvaged from the older church. The interior decoration was minimal and the main features were the altar and the pulpit.
By the time Samuel Lewis was writing in the 1830s, the glebe in Taghmon was small and was made up of only about three roods or about 3,000 square metres of land in the village.
The parishes of Taghmon and Horetown were united in 1922. In 1995 Taghmon and Horetown were united with Wexford, Ardcolm and Killurin, with Canon Norman Ruddock as the Rector. Today, the rector is Canon Arthur Minion.

Exonerated after 12 years in prison, former LAPD cop Charlie Crews has his life and job restored, but the unconventional thinker brings a new Zen attitude to his work, as well as a fierce resolve to catch the real culprits in his own unsolved case.

TV Shows, TV Crime Dramas, TV Dramas, TV Mysteries
Suspenseful, Quirky
Summary of Season 1 (2007) - 3 discs
After spending years behind bars for a crime he didn't commit, Det. Charlie Crews returns to the police force determined to prove himself to wary co-workers. Crews struggles to adjust, but he discovers that his time away has also given him an edge.
Damian Lewis stars as Charlie Crews, a Los Angeles detective who returns to the force after being jailed for a crime he didn't commit. As he tries to solve the crime that put him behind bars, Crews and his partner also probe a deadly love triangle.
Widescreen Anamorphic 1.78:1
TV-14 - This program contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age.
Parents need to know that this police drama touches on some heavy, mature topics, including revenge, addiction, and casual sex. The main character has adopted a Zen-like attitude to cope with his years behind bars, but he's secretly trying to find whoever framed him. Meanwhile, he pursues pleasure, whether in the form of anonymous and attractive young ladies or tasty fresh fruit. His partner is a recovering drug addict who likes to pick up men in bars. There's also plenty of violence as the two gun-carrying detectives investigate crimes; expect images of bloody dead bodies, dismembered fingers, and more.
Some onscreen love scenes and brief flashes of naked bodies, but no sensitive parts shown. Charlie's sudden fame (and perhaps his massive settlement) has made him a magnet to women, who stream in and out of his bedroom, often without being introduced to viewers (apparently, there's no need for names, as they won't be seen again). Charlie's new partner has addiction issues and seems to have taken to anonymous sex as a substitute for drugs.
Frequent flashbacks to violent beatings in prison, as well as graphic shots of murder victims that include blood, dismembered fingers, and other unpleasant images. Detectives carry (and sometimes use) guns.
Words include "bitch," "damn," "hell," etc.
As a cop, Charlie generally adheres to the rigid hierarchy of the force, though his quirky habits tend to annoy his coworkers. His supervisor seems to be looking for a way to kick Charlie off the force and leans on Charlie's partner Dani for evidence of misbehavior. Meanwhile, Charlie is quietly investigating the case the led to his own wrongful conviction, despite being warned to refrain from pursuing vengeance.
Mild, although Charlie, who became a Zen convert while incarcerated, is clearly having a tough time avoiding attachment to some material objects, especially a fancy new sports car.
Some characters drink, sometimes to excess. Dani seems to like going to bars to pick up men, and there are references to her past drug use. Some scenes feature drug dealers and their merchandise.

Park Place Jumps 96 Positions on Everything Channels List of Top 500 Tech Providers
CLEVELAND – June 14, 2010 – Park Place Technologies, North America's premier provider of data center hardware maintenance, has been recognized by Everything Channel as one of North America's top technology service providers, moving up 96 spots in one year on the VAR500 list. The proactive and preventative maintenance (PPM) company for some of the largest U.S. businesses' data centers has seen contracts expand in the past year as well as adding new contracts to provide support to off-warranty hardware systems. Park Place helps customers extend the life of their existing IT investment, a strategy that gained in popularity during the recession and helped the company sustain stronger than average growth during the economic downturn.
Ed Kenty, Park Place Technologies President and CEO, explains that the company's significant recent growth is based on a clear focus on its reseller partner channel and the incremental value partners can offer their customers.
"Park Place enables its reseller partners to enhance their long term customer relationships by giving partners another reason to be in front of their customers, giving them an offering with no additional capital investment that helps them solve a universal customer issue– how to reduce costs," Mr. Kenty says. "We believe our channel growth, despite a challenging economic climate, is because we deliver a high value annuity service, which strengthens customer relationships, reduces the complexity customers face with multi-vendor maintenance, and correlates with top customer initiatives."
The 16th annual ranking VAR500 list details the leading producers among technology integrators and technology solution provider organizations in North America based on gross worldwide revenue of hardware and software sales, as well as earnings from professional and managed IT services. This year's list reflects the strength of the technology reseller channel as the ranking includes 182 new companies with four percent of the new entrants landing in the Top 100.
Park Place Technologies is known for their quality customer service and flexible support contracts to maintain hardware brands commonly used in data centers including major manufacturers IBM, HP Dell, EMC, Sun as well as legacy systems such as Data General (DG) and Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) which have come off warranty.
Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel says, "The VAR500 is the who's who of the solution provider community. Microsoft, HP, Cisco, Symantec among others are highly reliant on the VAR500 to sell their products to businesses and collectively this audience generated more than $500B in sales in 2009. Even more importantly they solve customers' biggest IT business problems through product integration, training, consulting and services. In companies large and small, the VAR500 are considered integration experts, trusted business advisors and invaluable partners. We are honored to compile this list and represent this audience." The complete listing of the VAR500 is published in print and online at CRN.com on May 24, 2010.

Mihail Nyikiforovics Katkov (oroszul: Михаил Никифорович Катко́в; Moszkva, 1818. február 13. – Znamenszkoje-Szadki, 1887. augusztus 1.) orosz publicista és szlavofil gondolkodó.

Élete
Kisnemes család sarja volt. Tanulmányait Moszkvában, Königsbergben és Berlinben végezte, utóbbi helyen különösen Schellinget és Karl Werdert szerette hallgatni. Előbb Moszkvában a filozófia tanára volt, de 1848-ban állását ott kellett hagynia és 1856-ban nyomdát alapított és megindította a Russzkij Vesztnyik (Orosz híradó) című havi folyóiratot. 1861-ben bérbe vette a Moszkvai Egyetem tulajdonát képező Moszkovszkije Vedomosztyi című nagy napilapot is, melyet haláláig szerkesztett. 1886-ban szerkesztőtársával, Pavel Leontyjevvel a moszkvai Miklós-liceumot alapította, melyben valamennyi régi nyelvet tanították. Mint politikus 1863-ig az angol önkormányzatnak és a reformoknak barátja volt, de az 1863-as lengyel felkelés után a nemzetiségi áramlatokat követve, egészen más állást foglalt el a Moszkovszkije Vedomosztyiban. Követte Lengyelország, Litvánia és a balti-tengeri tartományok erőszakos russzifikálást és pártfogásba vette szlavofil szövetségesei érdekében az adókiváltságokat és agrárkommunizmust. Nagy ellensége volt Katkov a németeknek, de a magyaroknak is. 1886-ban hírlapját a Valujev miniszter ellen indított hajszája miatt betiltották, de nemsokára újra felszabadították. Dmitrij Tolsztoj gróf minisztersége alatt nagy és hátrányos befolyása volt Katkovnak a tanügyre. III. Sándor trónra lépésekor sikerült neki megakadályozni a II. Sándor által célba vett vidéki gazdasági bizottságok életbe léptetését és arra bírni a cárt, hogy szigorúan nemzeti reakcionárius és abszolutisztikus rendszert, a külügyi politikában pedig pánszláv célokat kövessen. Ő volt az elsők egyike, aki a Franciaországgal való szövetséget sürgette és kíméletlenül ostorozta hírlapjában Giers külügyminiszter békepolitikáját. Meghalt Znamenszkoje nevű birtokán, Moszkva mellett. Halálhírére a francia liga feje, Paul Déroulède sietett is Moszkvába, hogy sírjára koszorút helyezzen.

Publicisztikai munkáiból több gyűjtemény jelent meg; ilyenek: Szobranyije sztatyej po polszkomu voproszu (Cikkek a lengyel kérdésről, Moszkva 1887); Nasa ucsebnaja reforma. Sz prilozsenyijami  pregyiszlovijem i primecsanyijami Lva Polivanova (A mi tanügyi reformunk, Lev Polivanov előszavával és jegyzeteivel, Moszkva 1893).

Nothing's been coming out of Aleppo but a steady news stream of death and destruction. So imagine everyone's delight at a bit of good news, in the form of a baby girl. The child, named Tasnim, is the first baby born after the evacuations began in eastern Aleppo last week. The World Health Organization's Regional Office for Europe tweeted a photo of the baby on Tuesday.
The evacuation of the Syrian city of Aleppo could be coming to a close soon, multiple officials and a rebel group said, although they disagreed on the time frame and the number of evacuees.
A group of buses scheduled to evacuate the last civilians and rebels from eastern Aleppo has been delayed, Syrian state-run media said, blaming infighting among rebel factions.
Both the Syrian regime and a key rebel group had said earlier they expected the evacuations to be completed Tuesday.
The regime is on the verge of retaking Aleppo from rebel groups who have controlled parts of the city since 2012. The government has made significant territorial gains after its forces, backed by airstrikes, entered rebel-held areas in late November.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the evacuation would conclude in the coming days.
A further 750 people have so far been evacuated from the largely Shiite villages of Fuaa and Kafraya in Syria's mainly rebel-held Idlib province as part of the same deal, the ICRC said.
Ekhbariya TV also reported that 51 buses had entered the city Tuesday to transport a number of rebels and their families to Idlib province.
Osama Abo Zaid, a spokesman for the Free Syrian Army, a rebel alliance backed by Turkey, said he expected the evacuation to conclude Tuesday, with a convoy of about 100 buses due to leave the city in addition to at least 300 private cars.
"A few civilians are afraid to leave Aleppo and stay in tents in the cold and decided to stay in their houses," Zaid said. He said some stealing and intimidation was taking place during the evacuation.
Turkey and Russia helped broker the ceasefire deal that made the recent evacuations possible. On Tuesday, Cavusoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, met with Russia's Lavrov and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in Moscow to discuss the Syrian conflict.
The joint efforts have been successful in facilitating the evacuation of civilians from Aleppo and the departure of militants, Zarif said Tuesday.
"We, you and Turkey have been able in the past five days to help evacuate innocent civilians from Aleppo as well as (facilitate) the terrorist groups to leave the city," Zarif told Lavrov ahead of the trilateral talks.
"We will be able to act as the guarantors of further settlement and implementation of the Syria ceasefire agreement," Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said during the meeting with his Iranian counterpart.
The meetings came on the heels of Monday night's assassination of Russian ambassador Andrey Karlov in the Turkish capital of Ankara.
Lavrov welcomed the "efforts in eastern Aleppo" and recognized "the important role" of the United Nations.
"It has become our opinion there is no military solution to Syrian crisis," the Russian foreign minister said at a press conference following the meeting.
"We welcome the partial evacuation of opposition from a number of locations in Syria and advocate a successful and safe completion of this process," he continued.
The Syrian government has authorized the United Nations to send an additional 20 staff members to eastern Aleppo, where they will monitor the ongoing evacuation, a UN spokesman said Tuesday.
The move comes after the UN Security Council voted unanimously Monday to redeploy UN staff to Aleppo to monitor and report on the evacuation of civilians.
Bana Alabed, a 7-year-old girl who has captured the world's attention with her tweets from Aleppo, was evacuated to Turkey with her family Monday.

While I'd usually get my fix by creating my own or getting a couple from my local gluten free cafe……I'm attempting to be in lockdown to create some super cool online nutrition programs for you guys AND the local cafe shut down unexpectedly, just last month!
I can't find any other gluten free hot cross bun stockists around the Sunshine Coast (if you know of one, please get in touch!). So, my predicament has led me on a digital quest to find the best Hot Cross Buns around the web.
Let me know which one you make and how you go in the comments.
An amazing recipe if you're ok with xanthan gum (may not be ideal for sensitive guts, but it gives it that super soft 'gluten'-like texture). There's also a little bit of caster sugar in there too.
Check it out at Food To Love by Women's Weekly here!
Yep, blatant plug of my recipe in here too, but you know what? They were damn good, even if I do say so myself! Haha! Check it out here (there's even a double choc chunk version).
A spare bag of macadamia nut flour got Mummymade.it inspired to make a more decadent take on the usual Easter muffin. Take a look at the recipe here!
So super duper cute and easy to make, enjoy making these with the littlies thanks to Paleo with Mrs P!
Are they muffins or buns? If you're not that skilled in the kitchen, you don't need to fiddle with making dough balls, just pop the mix into a muffin pan, and hey presto! Muffin buns! Muffuns?Haha, that'll do! Check them out here at The Merrymaker Sisters!
Ok, so it can be a little challenging coming up with the perfect healthy gluten free hot cross bun (HCB). They just don't match 100%.
So if nothing but the absolute original will do, and for dietary reasons, you simply can't have them… Try these HCB-inspired recipes instead!
Similar in taste but without having to face the heartbreak of previous traditional HCB expectations.
Irena took the best bits of the buns and turned them into one of the best breakfast treats – pancakes! Get the recipe at Eat Drink Paleo.
Yes, of course you can eat cake for breakfast – it's Easter! 🙂 And hey, it's better than that chocolate egg 😉 Use quinoa flakes not oats to keep this gluten free. Your morning is sorted with Kobi Steedman.
These gorgeous raw squares come from Ascension Kitchen!
Have you got a killer gluten free HCB recipe? Let us know about it in the comments below!

When most new mums resume sex after birth
EB staff writers
Back to it ... More than half new mums said they had engaged in some kind of sexual activity in the first six-week period.
Most new mums start having sex again six to eight weeks after giving birth to their first child, a new study has revealed.
Conducted by a team at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, and looking at the sexual habits of 1507 first-time mothers living in Melbourne, the research found that 41 per cent of mums had resumed vaginal sex within six weeks after delivery.
Back in the saddle: sex after baby
Recovery after birth
By eight weeks, that number had risen to 65 per cent by eight weeks, then 78 per cent by 12 weeks.
Six months after birth, 94 per cent of women had resumed their sex life.
Some sort of sexual activity usually took place before vaginal sex, with 53 per cent saying they had engaged in a sexual activity in the first six-week period.
This is useful information for couples to know, and may help reduce feelings of anxiety and guilt about not resuming sexual activity sooner
The study's lead author, Associate Professor Stephanie Brown, said that the most important finding from the study is the wide time frame in which couples resume sex.
"Most couples do not resume sex until after six to eight weeks postpartum, [but] many delay much longer than this," she said.
"This is useful information for couples to know before their baby is born, and may help reduce feelings of anxiety and guilt about not resuming sexual activity sooner."
The study found that older mums took longer to get back into sex. In the 30-34 age group, 40 per cent of woman started having sex again in the first six-week period, compared with 63 per cent of women aged 18-24.
Mums who underwent a caesarean or who had intervention also spent a longer period of time before resuming sexual activity: at six weeks, 45 per cent of women who had a C-section, and 32 percent who had forceps involved, said they had resumed vaginal sex.
Experiencing an incision or tear in the perineum also lengthened the time before sex started again. Only 32 per cent of women who had had an incision, and 35 per cent who had a tear, had resumed their sex life by six weeks, in comparison to the 60 per cent of women who had no intervention in a normal vaginal birth.
John Thorp, deputy editor in chief of the BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, in which the study was published, said, "It is very common for women and their partners to want information about when sexual activity may be safely and comfortably resumed, and what to expect in relation to the impact of childbirth on their relationship."
"Having reliable information to guide clinical practice can dispel common myths about what is normal during the postnatal period, as well as enabling clinicians to tailor information to a woman's individual circumstances. This study provides important new evidence to guide information given to women and their partners about what to expect after childbirth.
"However, it is important to remember that these decisions are down to the individual couple and when it feels right for them."
