Which will produce a shallower depth of field: 50mm f/1.7 or 70-210mm f/4?
I'm shooting with a Sony a77. What would produce a more shallow depth of field for portraits: a Minolta 50mm 1.7 wide open or a Minolta 70-210mm f/4 wide open?

If you type in "depth of field calculator" to your favorite search engine, you will find many options to calculate any scenario you desire. – dpollitt Feb 16 '16 at 1:20
At what focal length for the zoom? At what shooting distance for either lens? At what aperture setting for either lens? All of those variables will affect the outcome. – Michael C Feb 16 '16 at 1:31
Depth of field calculation depends on multiple factors:
captor size
and last but not least: subject distance
Using a Depth of field simulator (http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html) with your camera, you will get the following result:
Distance to subject: 5 meters
50mm f/1.7 => Depth of Field of 0.67 m
70 mm f/4 => Depth of Field of 0.81 m
150 mm f/4 => Depth of Field of 0.17 m
210mm f/4 => Depth of Field of 0.09 m
Distance to subject: 10 meters
70 mm f/4 => Depth of Field of 3.3 m
I suggest you try the simulator with your conditions. You might want to take a look at those questions :
How does a teleconverter affect depth of field?
Is depth of field and bokeh influenced by distance to the subject?
What is "angle of view" in photography?
OlivierOlivier
Your comparison isn't quite right. The OP is talking about portraits, and it seems a reasonable guess that the subject should fill about the same amount of the frame regardless of whether the OP chooses the 50mm or 200mm lens. To get the same magnification with the 200mm that you do with the 50mm, the camera should be 4x farther away. So you should really compare the 50mm at some distance with the 200mm at 4x that distance. The 50mm still wins for shallow DOF, but without an apples:apples comparison the reasoning it's so solid. – Caleb Feb 16 '16 at 3:01
I totally agree with you Caleb, that's why I didn't made any conclusion regarding the "best" lens for the OP usage. He is the only one to know how he wants to use his lens. I have added a link to field of view to help him. – Olivier Feb 16 '16 at 4:19
The Dimensional Field of View calculator here could be used to figure out the subject distance to compare like framing, for someone curious: tawbaware.com/maxlyons/calc.htm – Lee Saxon Feb 16 '16 at 5:52
@Olivier I think you've made a good start objectively answering which has the shallower DOF -- I'm just saying that it'd be more relevant to compare, say, the 50mm at f/1.7 and 10 feet to the 200mm at f/4 and 40 feet. The subject will be the same size at those respective distances. – Caleb Feb 16 '16 at 6:21
The 1.7 is really going to have a shallow depth of field. Likely you won't want to use this on a portrait as you will have a thin slice in focus. Distance to subject plays a part here as well.

The secret to the VIRON lies in its aerodynamic inefficiency. It produces moderate forces in the power zone and has low lift. The kite is very stable and easy to control which has a positive effect on the student, keeping them challenged but always secure. In emergency situations, our B-Safe system can be used which gathers the kite across the wing span and reduces its area. The VIRON3 can be flown, and restarted by children with little effort within the recommended wind range.
How to make kiting with kids a safe sport – powered by FLYSURFER!
The FLYSURFER VIRON3 offers you a unique opportunity to teach your children how to kite in a fun but safe way, allowing you to share your enthusiasm for this beautiful sport.
Everything sounds great, but what is it all about?
Kiting is great for developing coordination, strengthens muscles and builds self-confidence. The satisfaction and joy derived from playing in the elements is addictive and most importantly fun.
We hope you and your family have fun, are active together and experience an exciting summer or winter holiday. Visit us on the FLYSURFER Kids Days during the Demo Tour!

Could be going down a chimney with out a house? Ending up in a field to no where. Why would anyone put a chimney in the middle of a field? SANTA DOESN'T KNOW!!
I saw this chimney and satellite dish out in the middle of this field and was wondering what I was going to do with it. I was reading my friend http://tchistorygal.wordpress.com blog when she had mentioned about Santa and chimney, I thought that's it.
I think Santa would have been upset if he had discovered that no one lived there. What do you think?
A friend of ours lost his wife a few weeks ago. Their grandkids loved there grand parents.. Her husband wrote this to the G Kids from his wife. He sent us a copy and I found it so touching I asked him if it would be ok to share it.
Ron wrote back he would be honored.
I still hear the songs.
I feel your love on a cold wintery night.
I still share your hopes and all your care.
I'll even remind you. So please say your prayers.
I just wanted to tell you. You make me proud.
You stand head and shoulders above all the crowd.
Keep trying each moment to stay in his grace.
I came hear before you to help set a place.
He forgives if you slip, if you continue the climb.
To my family and friends, Please be thankful today.
I am still close beside you in a new special way.
Red Maple Leaf! The last red leaf of Autumn in Olmstead Park.
Have no fear that everything is going to be brown or dismally drab and non colorful. Not true because Mother Nature provides a replacement for the colorful leaves on the trees. With a holly tree full of red bears. Beautifully green leaves with all the bright red berries that sparks up the park for all to enjoy.
Then there is the beautiful white rose shaped tea camellias, that are growing on several trees in the park.
Did I mention that with all of this beauty there is a small lake, with several ducks to feed along the shoreline. My motor home is sitting across the street where we can see the park and walk our dogs.
Only 26 more days of escrow before we move in our home up on the lake. We have our own Dock where we can park a boat and go fishing everyday.

There are far more choices for business electricity than consumer electricity because there are a lot more competitors willing to provide business electricity. Also, the cost of business electricity is much higher, making it a far more inviting industry for companies to get into. There is a growing number of business electricity providers with a wide array of business electricity tariffs on offer. We are going to show you some ways you can cut your costs on business electricity, which begins with finding the right provider.
You will always get the best deal on business electricity tariffs once you compare the prices between the various electricity providers. There is no better way to save money on this necessary service and no clearer way to determine who has the best deals. The services are basically the same from one provider to the next. They may vary when it comes to customer service and things like that, but in actually providing reliable electricity, most of them are remarkably similar. So, if you are looking to improve your bottom line and enjoy greater profits, then it is going to start with a price comparison.
The rates change every so often, so it is in your best interests to compare them regularly to ensure you are still getting the best price. As the cost of business electricity changes, the value you receive from your provider can change as well. Even if you have a good contract, it may be worth it to switch it up and try to get a better deal on business electricity tariffs when you can.

Осада Заволочья — осада и взятие крепости Заволочье войском польско-литовского короля Стефана Батория в октябре 1580 года.

Ход событий
После взятия Великих Лук Баторий намеревался обезопасить свои завоевания покорением расположенной к западу от них псковской крепости Заволочье, имевшей стратегическое положение на дороге к Пскову, который Баторий намеревался осаждать следующей весной.

К Заволочью подступил оснащённый осадной артиллерией 10-тысячный отряд гетмана Яна Замойского, в котором состояло множество венгерских и немецких наёмников. Небольшая деревянная крепость с четырьмя башнями располагалась на острове в Заволоцком озере. Крепость была укреплена земляной насыпью, из башен хорошо простреливалось окружающее пространство.

Посад, который располагался на «материке», русские жители сожгли и укрылись в крепости. Заняв соседний остров Бобыльский, поляки начали обстрел Заволочья из восьми осадных орудий. Через несколько дней на острове высадился десант, который пошёл на приступ и попытался поджечь стены «огненным приметом». Тому, кто сумеет поджечь крепость, Замойский обещал 400 золотых. Однако этот штурм оказался в высшей степени неудачным. Защитники крепости отбили штурм и при вылазке перебили сапёров.

Неудачной оказалась также попытка навести мост на остров. В ходе строительства от пуль защитников крепости погибло около 80 солдат из отряда Замойского. Однако Баторий настаивал на взятии стратегической крепости во что бы то ни стало, послав Замойскому дополнительные войска. Тот готовился ко второму штурму, планируя заставить кавалерию слезть с коней и поддержать пехоту. Однако накануне решительного штурма 23 октября немногочисленные защитники крепости, измотанные трёхнедельной осадой и не рассчитывавшие на помощь извне, неожиданно сами запросили мира. Тяжело раненый воевода Долгово-Сабуров пытался отговорить их открывать ворота, но было уже поздно.

Долгово-Сабуров вскоре умер от ран, а гарнизону крепости по польским данным был обеспечен свободный уход. Баторию открылся путь на Псков, хотя в переписке с Иваном Грозным он признавался, что взятие Заволочья далось ему немалой ценой. После подписания Ям-Запольского мира Заволочье было возвращено Русскому государству.

Communication is the method of conveying the intended messages from one person to another with the help of signs and semiotic rules which are mutually understood by both of them. The communication is a two-way process where one person transmits the ideas, feelings and opinions so that the other person or a group of persons can understand the intended message precisely in the way it is said. This term has been derived from the Latin word "Communis" which means to share. The communication process is considered productive and successful when the receiver understands the message in the same way the sender has intended it.
Almost all the universities which provide management degrees like MBA keep business communication as an essential subject where they teach the fundamentals of effective communications to the students. The managers of all departments need to know how to communicate so that the information flow remains steady. Excellent communication skills are required to present oneself in the public settings confidently and the person who masters this skills diligently always have a leading edge over others. To inculcate exceptional communication skills the organisations also train their employees because they know that an effective communication system is the backbone of their organisation. In a nutshell, communication is considered a highly essential life skill, and therefore it is taught to students of all levels.
If we mainly talk about the formal setting in the companies, then the verbal communication is what takes place in person or over the phone. Here the individuals share the message with the help of speech. The medium for transmitting the signal in verbal communication is oral. In the corporate setting, the employees should be able to communicate their thoughts in the correct language, tone and pronunciation so that the other person can understand them correctly. The verbal communication is vital to resolving the grievances and conflicts in the workplace.
The nonverbal communication as its name suggests includes only the facial expressions, the pitch of the sound, the tone of the speaker and the gestures of the speaker. The gestures are also called the body language, and it plays a vital role in conveying the message. The physical distance or proximity is also essential to notice to understand the cues of a nonverbal combination. The nonverbal gestures give the clues about the actual meaning of the message which are spoken by the sender. The nonverbal clues can also provide some additional information about the meaning of the spoken word. This type of communication plays an active role in the formation of teams and building trust among the employees.
The written communication is also a prominent way of communicating at the workplace. Usually, all the formal work is done with the help of written or printed messages. The e-mails, official letters, memorandums, proposals, policies and procedures and the training modules are the form of written communication in the organisations. The messages can be handwritten, appear on the computer screen, or they can also be typed or printed on paper. The written form of communication is the asynchronous as the messages are read and interpreted by the receiver at the different time when it is written. The reader or receiver can understand the message at any time, and many people can read the same message at a single point in time.
The person who initiates the conversation is called as the sender or the communicator. The communicator conceptualises the idea of the communication which he/she wants to convey to another person or a particular group of people. This is the first stage of the communication process.
The message which the sender wants to give to the receiver is encoded by the sender once he/she conceptualize it. Encoding means the sender uses the suitable verbal or non-verbal techniques for examples words, tone, gestures, signs and symbols etc. to translate the intended message so that the receiver can understand it. There are various factors which affect the success of the word and that are the communication skill of the communicator, the background, the knowledge and the competencies of the sender.
With the help of the encoding process, the sender gets the message he/she wants to send to the other person. The message can be in any form such as in the written form, oral form, or the nonverbal clues and gestures, silence, individual sounds, sound patterns, and sighs etc. The message can be in any form which can trigger the attention and response of the person at the receiver end.
The communication channel or the communication medium is also an essential element of the whole communication process. The sender has to select the most appropriate medium for communicating the message so that it goes to the receipt as it is without any deflection or change. The medium should be chosen very carefully so that the recipient interprets the message correctly and efficiently. The interpersonal relationship between the participants also plays a significant role in deciding the medium of the communication. Commonly uses communication channels include sounds, words, oral, gestures and the virtual mediums.
The receiver or the recipient is the person for whom the message is targeted to. The receiver has to understand and interpret the meaning of the message in a best possible manner only then the communication process can say to be effective and complete. There are many factors which help the receiver to understand the message which is like his/her knowledge about the subject in conversation, trust on the sender, interpersonal relation with the sender, and experience etc.
In the decoding stage, the receiver interprets the meaning of the message. Then communication process can only be completed if the receiver understands the meaning in the same way the sender has intended it.
This is the final step of any communication process, and this ensures the correct interpretation of the message by the recipient. The sender can know the efficacy of his/her message if the receiver gives proper feedback. The receiver can respond to the form of a verbal or non-verbal method.

Jonathan Dove's opera Mansfield Park, based on the novel by Jane Austen, was originally written for ten singers accompanied by piano four-hands. With 2017 being the 200th anniversary of the death of Jane Austen, Dove is producing a new version of the opera orchestrated for 13 musicians. The new version has been commissioned by the Grange Festival and is being premiered not as part of the festival's regular June/July season but in an extension to the season in September 2017.
Jonathan Dove's Mansfield Park with a libretto by Alasdair Middleton was commissioned by Heritage Opera and premiered by them in 2011. Subsequent performances have included the Royal Academy of Music and Hampstead Garden Opera.
Mansfield Park will be performed at the Grange Festival on 16 & 17 September 2017 in a new production directed by Martin Lloyd-Evans and conducted by David Parry, with Martha Jones, Sarah Pring, Grant Doyle, Angharad Lyddon, Henry Neil, Jeni Bern, Daisy Brown, Nick Pritchard and Oliver Johnston.

Cool off in Pennsylvania and Omni Bedford Springs this Summer
By Rick Limpert @RickRoswell · On June 3, 2016
Golf takes center stage in the state of Pennsylvania this summer with the Constellation Seniors Players Championship this coming week at the Philadelphia Cricket Club and the U.S. Open, June 16-19 at Oakmont Country Club. While you may not be teeing it up in one of these championships, there is an opportunity to cool off, relax and play your own version of the U.S. Open in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania this summer at one of the most unique places in the country.
Just 90 minutes from Pittsburgh and the action at Oakmont, The Omni Bedford Springs Resort & Spa has been around since 1796, but a $120 million restoration that was completed in 2007 has brought the 216 guestrooms, the spring-fed pool and championship golf course back to life.
The Omni Bedford Springs sits in south and central Pennsylvania, a easy two-hour drive from Washington D.C. and Baltimore, and a three to four hour drive from Philadelphia and New York City. It's also easily accessible by car or plane from points in the south like Atlanta and Charlotte.
The 2,200-acre grounds are made up of gardens, swimming and recreational facilities like bike and hiking trails, fishing spots; and a restored golf course that dates back to 1895. Architect, Ron Forse led the revival of The Old Course, which sits adjacent to the hotel. A new golf clubhouse is in the works and should open in a little over a year.
"It's a course we are proud of, and worked hard to restore," explained Forse. "There are places you need to hit the ball to be successful, but it's a course everyone can play."
The par-4 and par-5 holes demand a good tee shot. The par-3, 14th hole, "Tiny Tim" is a short little gem that one shouldn't take lightly. Throughout the course there are elevation changes, bits of water and rough. Oh that rough. Bring a couple extra balls along, because even though the U.S. Open is about 100 miles away, The Old Course has U.S. Open rough in spots.
"The Course is historic," says Bedford Springs Director of Golf Ron Leporati. "But that doesn't mean it is easy. We think the restoration of the course is amazing and we are open to the public."
Bedford Springs also leads in offering a world-class spa featuring restorative treatments from the local mineral-rich waters and an attentive and friendly staff.
The resort itself is located just around the corner from the borough of Bedford, Pennsylvania, three miles south of Exit 146 off the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The resort is 90 minutes by car from Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. The history is rich at Bedford Springs, as it has served as a meeting place for numerous U.S. Presidents and dignitaries, including Daniel Webster, Andrew Jackson and Zachary Taylor. Omni Bedford Springs features a phenomenal range of amenities and activities, casual and fine dining options. In addition, guests can enjoy mountain nature trails for hiking and biking, fly fishing, volleyball, tennis, and more at omnihotels.com.
Pennsylvania, the Keystone State, is known for its diverse terrain, which includes wide stretches of farmland, national forests and major waterways. It's also a state known for it's sports, including golf and it's resident's and visitor's love of the outdoors.

Again building on the Basic Guidelines,here we aim to define the key "shades-of-grey" questions, as may be asked by experienced GPs and paediatric dental specialists, and as could be used in experimental design by researchers. As a starting point, please consider existing guidelines (summaries below) before proceeding to rethink the issues through in a research-friendly way.
Q A1: Severe case – extract or restore?
how many dodgy teeth are candidates for extraction?
caries? – how advanced, pulpal involvement, endo prospects?
how restorable? – how long will it last, and then what?
oral hygiene? – secondary caries, and then what?
pain? – will restoration/desensitisation provide adequate relief, and for how long?
malocclusion? – will extraction help or hinder, other ortho aspects?
cost, compliance and other considerations at patient level?
Q A2: Moderate case – preventive repair or restore?
will a preventive approach work long-term?
what variables are key? – lesion number/size/location, caries risk, patient compliance...?
restore proactively? – any benefit to getting in early, before it turns to custard?
how well can moderate lesions be stopped from progressing in the long term?
Q B1: Mild & moderate cases – what's the best way to stop progression?
can we reasonably expect to maintain or mineralise a Hypomin lesion? – mild?, moderate?
what approaches work best for remedial mineralisation* ("rem-min") of Hypomin enamel?
when best to use fluoride? – how best to use, which formulation?
when best to use CPP-ACP? – how best to use, when to use plus-fluoride formulation?
when best to use resin? – how best to use, which formulation & protocol?
when best to use GIC? – how best to use, which formulation & protocol?
are mild cases (intact surface layer) a different proposition than moderate cases?
should an intact surface layer be removed?
should protein removal be attempted? – does hypochlorite approach work?
does technique for resin infiltration of caries work on Hypomin enamel?
Remember that, whereas "remineralisation" is properly coupled with caries-related "demineralisation", it is inappropriate to use this term in context of Hypomin because mineral deficiency exists from the outset. In other words, current understanding dictates that mineral-based repair of a Hypomin lesion is a different proposition than for caries. And with practice, Rem-min can be said just as easily as Remin.
Q B1: What works best for pain control (desensitisation)?
is there anything distinctive about treating Molar Hypomin-associated pain?
special considerations for mild cases? – is it due to invisible porosity?
special considerations for moderate/severe cases?
why the apparent disconnect between painfulness & lesion severity? – is porosity key?
what desensitising treatments work best for painful mild and moderate cases?
Q C1: How far does the Hypomin lesion actually extend?
does the visible Hypomin lesion strictly match the extent of affected surface enamel?
does the invisible sub-surface lesion always match the surface lesion? – any tortuosity?
so how far should margins be extended? – for bonding?, for filling?
is visibly-unaffected enamel in a Hypomin tooth clinically normal (cf. restorability, wear)?
Q C2: Which restorative approach is best for Molar Hypomin?
when best to use onlays or the like? – evidence base, for/against?
any indications for amalgam? – evidence base, for/against?
are "normal restoratives" (optimised for normal enamel) also ideal for Hypomin enamel?
Q C3: How best to use GIC on Hypomin teeth?
any particular considerations for GIC in Molar Hypomin context? – surface preparation?
is there a preferred type of GIC for Hypomin cases?
Q C4: How best to use CR on Hypomin teeth?

is there a preferred type of CR for Hypomin cases?
need for pretreatment of Hypomin enamel?
Q C5: How best to use SSC on Hypomin teeth?
any particular considerations for SSC in Molar Hypomin context?
Q C6: What surgical analgesia approach works best?
are all Molar Hypomin teeth "hard to numb" with LA?
any links to severity (Hypomin/caries) or sensitivity?
can hard-to-numb Hypomin teeth be diagnosed in advance?
which LA administration technique works best? – is there a preferred LA formulation?
with Hypomin cases, should GA receive stronger consideration than usual?
As apparent from the FAQs, numerous research questions remain about the most appropriate treatment of Molar Hypomin, both at preventive and restorative levels. And clearly, such research will be done best using consistent criteria and terminologies for diagnosis, grading and treatment. Networks such as D3G could play a valuable role in coordinating such studies.
Many opportunities exist for suitably-targeted research to spur the refinement of dental materials (i.e. customised to deal with the vagaries of abnormal enamel better), develop new approaches for dealing with porous enamel, and produce novel diagnostics that facilitate treatment decisions.

Fashion Show and Vintage Pop-Up Store
A contemporary interpretation of the Santa Barbara luxury and the rebellious style of the 1990s in a project by the GES-2 House of Culture and Vintage Marketplace.
The show offers a fresh take on 1980s and 1990s fashion and demonstrates global fashion trends that set the tone in today's world. Marina Chuikina and Tania Lyagera have created runway looks with vintage clothing and accessories from different eras. The audience will see a colourful show interpreting the modern conception of luxury — free and rebellious, but devoid of kitsch and ostentatious luxury.
Bordering on kitsch, the excesses of the late 1980s and early 1990s organically fitted in with the mood of the controversial, changing era. The fashion show, though, is not just another homage to the "wild '90s". Our aim is to explore the genealogy of "Russian style" after the collapse of the Sovier Union and to offer its practical and modern interpretations, emphasizing not only the nostalgic, but also ecological aspect of vintage and second hand clothes.
— Alexandra Tumarkina, V–A–C curator
The fashion show will take place in the Square, next door to the GES-2 Prospekt, where a long running performance Santa Barbara — A Living Sculpture by Ragnar Kjartansson unfolds. The famous American soap opera has played a prominent role in shaping the idea of fashion for a whole generation of Russians, becoming one of the main sources of inspiration for them to find their own style.
The theme of the show is liberation from luxury, or rather its assimilation into the actual contemporary style. There is a certain logic and consistency in the penetration of vintage into our wardrobes and minds: first people choose something chic and glittery, usually from the 1980s, and only then, becoming more and more involved and experimenting, adopt the style which is on the cutting edge of today's fashion — a mix of rebelliousness with top luxury, punk and rock with innocence, frank sexuality with the angularity of counterculture.

Think that Reaper tattoos square measure only for Gothic lovers and Halloween fanatics – suppose again! whereas death and it's ill-famed courier square measure basically a seasonal a part of our world, they're additionally a fairly common part incorporated into tattoo styles similarly. amazingly, this tattoo is commonly worn by ladies, despite the dark and deep that means. Most of the tattoo styles that includes the Reaper tend to be in somber colours and considering the grim theme tends to be huge in size because of the small print.
The majority of individuals acknowledge the Reaper because the painting image of death. However, in several cultures and traditional knowledge, it's nothing over the chaperone into the lifetime. The long hair, the grim expression and also the sharp scythe makes for a grim look and will strike a chord of concern in anyone. Though, in several religions, this can be not the first look of the reaper. In fact, the sole similarity is that the long, black hooded gown.
Though dark and lifeless, Reaper tattoos is quite the fascinating style part. several of that, capture details and emotions that solely this kind of style part may. There square measure several stories and legends that mention the looks of the Reaper right before death happens. a lot of spiritual individuals have claimed to own witnessed a reaper simply before somebody near them gave up the ghost in their presence.

However, you may see reminder red and deep oranges emulsified in round the reaper – giving the ultimate piece a 3D feel that actually pops.

Aiming for 2-5A title, RHS girls home tonight; Parish prep roundup
The Ruston High School Lady Bearcats play at home today at 5:30 for at least a share of the District 2-5A girls basketball championship.
Used to be, a shot at a district crown was a very big deal, but priorities have since shifted with the arrival of power points and broadening the playoff brackets to bring in multiple teams from the same district, and not just the top two.
But it's still a district title for a program that hasn't sniffed one in a while, in one of the state's tougher Class 5A districts. And as to those power points: every win is a good one and helps seeding in the state playoff bracket, which could be the difference between getting home games or playing on the road, which is often a big difference in winning and losing.
So this evening's game matters for the Lady Bearcats (20-6, 6-2), ranked ninth in the state. It's a rematch of a Jan. 22 Ruston win, by 45-43, at West Ouachita (8-11, 1-7).
The 7 p.m. nightcap shouldn't be so dramatic. The Ruston boys (15-6, 3-5) routed West Ouachita 65-29 last month and can use a breather and a lift on the heels of very tough district defeats to Ouachita and at West Monroe Tuesday night.
Bearcats coach Ryan Bond was frustrated at Tuesday's 54-51 loss to the state's second-ranked team, but was also encouraged.
"The kids busted their tails, but we had just too many missed layups and turnovers. Against a good team you can't waste opportunities to score," he said. "We play great defense. Another positive: three ninth-graders combined to score 28 points against the No. 2-ranked team in the state."
Ruston's top scorers were freshmen Jamarion Lillard (12 points) and Lontravious Dimmer (10). The playoff-bound Bearcats wrap up the regular season at home Tuesday against defending state champion Alexandria Senior High (19-8, 3-2).
CEDAR CREEK: North of I-20, the Cedar Creek boys host Ouachita Christian at the Brickhouse in a single game slated for 7 p.m. The Cougars hope to avenge a 43-40 loss at OCS on Jan. 7.
The powerhouse Lady Cougars (18-3) played their last regular-season game Thursday night, blasting visiting Delta Christian by exactly the same margin, 35 (71-36), and almost the same score they won by in the first meeting (72-37). The Cedar Creek girls, ranked third in the state, get their LHSAA Division IV playoff assignment Monday and could start their push to the Sweet 16 late next week.
SIMSBORO: A good District 2-B doubleheader is tonight at Simsboro, featuring both district champs.
The high-scoring Simsboro boys (20-2, 5-0), ranked second in the state, will shoot for their 54th consecutive 2-B win dating back to 2013 against a Quitman squad (16-5, 3-2) that pushed the outcome into the fourth quarter in an 82-64 loss last week. The Lady Wolverines (22-2, 5-0) have locked up the district girls crown but the Lady Tigers (8-9, 2-3) should threaten them.
LINCOLN PREP: Lincoln Prep's boys (4-12, 2-4) were edged 67-64 at Arcadia (15-1, 8-0) Thursday. It was the second near miss against Class A's No. 4 team by coach Antonio Hudson's squad, which lost 62-56 to the Hornets in Grambling. Earlier this week, the Panthers posted a 44-17 win Tuesday over Haynesville.
CHOUDRANT: The Aggies wrapped up District 2-B at home last night with a rematch of last week's contests at Weston, and swept the twinbill. Behind Kylee Portilloz's 25 points, 11 in the fourth quarter, the CHS girls (16-11, 3-3) won 59-50. The Choudrant boys crushed the Wolves 94-49, scoring 57 after halftime. Chris Williams poured in 24 points to lead the Aggies (14-11, 3-3).

John Bolton Warns That Obama May Divide The Land Of Israel At The UN Before The Inauguration
by Country Christian
Is Barack Obama about to make the most catastrophic decision of his entire presidency? Former UN Ambassador John Bolton is warning that there is "a lot of speculation" over at UN headquarters right now about "resolutions that recognize a Palestinian state or that try and set a boundary for Israel based on the 1967 ceasefire lines". Of course this would have to happen before the inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20th, because Trump has already made it quite clear that he will not support any UN resolution of such nature. Knowing that Trump is about to take office, advocates of the "two state solution" are putting an immense amount of pressure on Obama to support a UN Security Council resolution that would permanently divide the land of Israel while he is still in the White House, and at this moment we do not know what Barack Obama's final decision will be.
Most Americans have no idea that this drama is playing out behind the scenes, but those in the know are very much aware of what is happening. The Wall Street Journal recently published an article entitled "Obama's Israel Surprise?" that discussed the possibility of Obama supporting a UN Security Council resolution that would permanently divide the land of Israel, and the New York Times editorial board has formally endorsed such a resolution.
The rest of the UN Security Council is ready to agree to such a resolution, and at this point the only obstacle is getting Barack Obama's approval. That is why it was so exceedingly alarming to wake up on Sunday morning and read former UN Ambassador John Bolton's very chilling warning about what could soon happen at the UN. The following comes from an article on the website of The Hill…
Former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton warned Sunday that President Obama should not take any actions before leaving office that could hurt Israel at the U.N.
Bolton said during an interview with radio host John Catsimatidis that there is "a lot of speculation over in Turtle Bay at U.N. headquarters about resolutions that recognize a Palestinian state or that try and set a boundary for Israel based on the 1967 ceasefire lines."
"I think that'd be very inadvisable for the president to do that," he said.
John Bolton is still very tied in to the international community, and Donald Trump is reportedly actively considering asking him to serve as Secretary of State.
Needless to say, I would take what he is saying very, very seriously.
So what would this potential UN Security Council resolution look like?
Well, it would likely accomplish three historic things…
1. It would give formal UN Security Council recognition to a Palestinian state for the very first time.
2. It would grant East Jerusalem to the Palestinians as the capital of their new state.
3. It would establish the 1967 ceasefire lines as the basis for final negotiations for borders between the two states.
Up until now, the U.S. government's veto power on the UN Security Council has always blocked anti-Israel resolutions from passing, but earlier this year the Obama administration said that such a "parameters resolution" was now "on the table".
And at this point we still don't know what Obama is going to ultimately decide, but the Trump transition team is so concerned about this that they recently warned Obama "against making moves on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in his last months in office".
But no matter how much they object, the truth is that Trump and his team cannot actually do anything to stop Obama.
If Obama decides to betray Israel at the UN, it is going to happen.
And of course the Israeli government is extremely concerned about what might take place as well. According to the New York Post, the Israelis asked Secretary of State John Kerry if the Obama administration would promise to veto any anti-Israel resolutions at the UN for the remainder of Obama's term, and Kerry flatly refused to make such a promise…
Israel faces a unique window of danger from Nov. 9 to Jan. 20: What might President Obama do in his final days in office to slam the Jewish state?
Start with Secretary of State John Kerry's recent flat refusal to promise a US veto on any upcoming anti-Israel resolution in the UN Security Council.
On Saturday, Haaretz reports, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Kerry he's counting on Washington to stick to its policy of nixing anti-Israel resolutions. Kerry's reply: The administration has yet to make a decision on the matter.
Perhaps equally as alarming is what Obama told the Palestinians. In October, Obama reportedly told them to wait until after the election for any action at the UN Security Council…
On the surface, the latest message to the Palestinian Authority from the Obama administration is no different from the past two decades of American policy: the U.S. will veto any resolution attacking Israel or demanding Palestinian independence without them first making peace with the Jewish state. But, as Haaretz reported, there was one significant caveat to the warning. They were told not to push for any such resolution until after the presidential election next month.
So why would it be so catastrophic if Obama decides to support a UN Security Council resolution that permanently divides the land of Israel?
Well, John Kilpatrick, Shane Warren, Bob Jones and many others have warned that when we divide the land of Israel, our land will be divided too.
Whether it is Barack Obama, Donald Trump or some other president that does it, someday this will happen.
And when this happens, the floodgates will open and judgment after judgment will hit this nation. I have warned about many of these events in my latest book, and I hope to write much more about what is coming in the months ahead.
So right now we are in "the danger zone" until January 20th, 2017.
If we can get to January 20th and Donald Trump is peacefully inaugurated and the land of Israel has not been divided, perhaps we can all breathe a little bit easier for a while.
But if the land of Israel is divided between now and then, the consequences for this nation are going to be more severe than most people would dare to imagine.

Do Stolen Secret Service Badges and Guns Foreshadow the 'Final False Flag'?


It has been awhile, I apologise. Things are happening, and I finally do not need to worry as much as I did before.
Today I wish to talk about the social media version of email motivational quote spam. You know, the sixty or seventy emails you got from your mum's best friend wishing you prosperity, being cured of cancer and wanting you to hug a tree? Remember how you had to wear sunglasses due to all the computerised glitter? Fun times! Now this woman has friended you on FB! (She also likes to use exclamation points.) All social media platforms have various forms of these spam offerings, but we know them now as memes. Are the motivational quotes with white girls in First Nations headdresses considered memes?
I seem to think so. Hell, memes like this one are all annoying, regardless. I will give credit to the meme-o-makers; they are now a far cry from cats with terrible grammar.
I have been complaining a lot lately regarding this very issue. I find my Facebook page littered with sentiments; sentiments created by one person and shared by millions. Now, I do not mind the odd post like this, as sometimes there is a quote or a line that catches my eye and I share. I have seen some people post twenty or thirty of these – a day. That is why I got irked. I was called out, asked to take a break from Facebook, unfollow the person. Sure, I could do all those things, but the person is invading other peoples' space needs to take a break as well. Understanding Street runs two ways.
I do question how many moods a person can be in when I see a boatload of motivation. Also, though the idea of the post meets your need, it is not you, they are not your words, they are put together to be shared by millions. You could say the same about sharing a poem by Keats; however, there is room for discussion and exploration. Those types of posts encourage communication.
To make a further claim, fear mongering and hate speech have found a friend in the meme, which is not surprising. As these vehicles are easy to create, all you need is an audience. Mind you; the same group found their way into email spam as well, only now we have a better way to report it. Not that it means anything.
For the sake of myself and to not add fuel to the bigotry fire, I will not post any racist or xenophobic meme of any kind. I have watched family members go off the rails over certain events, like the Syrian refugee settlements, the Brent Kavanaugh hearing, Islam in general, the Climate Action Incentive (aka: The Carbon Tax!!!) and any other subject that may be linked to immigrants, the LGBTQ community and snow in the middle of June. The memes related to the topics mentioned above are vile, violent and incredibly disgusting. They are now a source of news for some people – literally. These memes are created out of anger as the motivational ones are made out of love. Much like the cinnamon-honey picture, the idea that a person gets their news information from a home-made create-a-meme program makes me sad. Just like the Quote of the Day, these images and messages cloud our spaces, and there is not much for us to do.
Yes, there is. There is a conversation. As I have done, in not so subtle ways, I have made my position clear: take it down a notch. I see good people, caring and charitable, who post disgusting memes about veterans, the homeless, the marginalised and the government – always, the latter is failing the former – sometimes combining all four. Okay, we are free to dislike the government, but to post something that encourages violence or uses derogatory language is not allowed on my space – I will call them out. On the flip-side, kind-hearted people want to share love and joy through visual art and words, but if they do it too much – I will call them out. I have considered the Sarah Silverman approach, but you cannot change those who do not know the difference between possessive and plural and those who do not understand the meaning of cliché.
Now, I realise the meme posters will continue to do so, as is their right. I will scroll past, say the f-word, then find a story about dinosaurs in Peru or naughty pictures available at The British Library.

Tags: AU
Comments: This is AU! right from the get go, but it's incredibly well done. There are moments when the characters appear to be OOC of tv canon, however it works extremely well in the story. The writer is an university English professor, so this is clearly some quality work. The updates are VERY slow, and have been stalled for awhile however the author is still active in the comments and very much intends to finish the fic this summer.

Comments: Seriously this author is probably my favourite of all time, and this series of fics takes the crown. Not only does it use Skyeward, but it takes into account all the other members of team bus (+Natasha Romanoff!). It's a truly compelling slow burn story that really works and is rarely ooc.

Story crosses over into ALL Marvel movies, not just Marvel Studios films. Be warned, there are spoilers for...well everything. Rated T for language and violence."
Comments: A very interesting What If? fic, it's very easy to get drawn into the story as Carrie works to create a new life for herself, Coulson helping her every step of the way. The author is good enough to have as few spoilers for the movies and TV show as possible, though some are inevitable.

The odds are poor but one path might be found in the company of his enemies: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. busy with enough troubles of their own. Spoilers abound, with speculation as a side dish."
Comments: This fic is the first in a whole series of partial-AU fanfics in which Loki attempts to redeem himself by becoming an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Action, drama, and hilarity ensue. Everyone is kept in character, and the comics characters introduced are kept in the style of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. An amazing read.

This paper presents a study on the role of the teacher in computer-supported class group activities. We discuss various teacher tools that support this role. In the reported studies the students are engaged in group activities through networked computers. Typically they use a two-space collaboration tool. One shared space used for jointly producing a diagrammatic representation (concept map or other form of diagram), and one for text based communication. The group activities have a time span of typical classes: i.e. a few minutes to a few hours. In this context, we focus on the study of typical teacher actions and used representations and on the support that the tools used provided to the teacher for supervision of the class and group activities.

Ministerial manoeuvres leave rail in the dark
Simon Calder, also known as The Man Who Pays His Way, has been writing about travel for The Independent since 1994. In his weekly opinion column, he explores a key travel issue – and what it means for you.
Who'd be a government minister? Sure, you get to announce plans for spending other people's money; you are invited to open things on which taxpayers' cash has previously been lavished; and, from what I can tell, you and are driven around in fancy cars. But imagine being a minister in the Department for Transport (DfT), responsible for the decarbonisation of transport at a time when the railways are imploding.

This battery-powered plane is the world's fastest electric vehicle
Neither passengers nor people who work in the railway industry can fault the benevolence of the Treasury in keeping trains running – many largely empty – during the coronavirus pandemic. Travellers and train operators have been massively subsidised to the tune of £15bn so far. Which means £1m for every single hour since the Covid crisis began.
With revenue in free-fall due to the end of commuting as many people know it, there is only one way to get back to the balance whereby the passenger pays roughly two-thirds of the cost, and the taxpayer makes up the rest: to increase the appeal of the railways, lure passengers out of their cars and entice discretionary travellers to make more journeys.
Yet all the indicators are going in the wrong direction. Wholesale schedule cuts on commuter services take effect on Monday morning, while the inter-city rail network is shrinking, too.
Avanti West Coast will run from London Euston to Birmingham and to Manchester just once an hour, compared with the pre-pandemic departures every 20 minutes. Links from the West Midlands and northwest England to Edinburgh are halved.
While some train operators insist the cause is staff shortage as a result of the Omicron variant, the underlying problem is passenger shortage. Since the start of the year, passenger numbers have averaged well below half of pre-pandemic figures.
Naturally, lower frequency reduces the appeal of rail still further: three trains an hour from Birmingham or Manchester to London held plenty of appeal for people travelling on business: narrowly missing a train meant a maximum wait of 20 minutes for the next one. With the downside now being an hour lost, some will switch to the motorway.
All hands are needed to turn the tide, starting with the government doing all it can to proclaim the many virtues of rail travel. Yet the junior transport minister, Trudy Harrison chose instead to sing the praises of the prime minister.
The MP for Copeland – a beautiful patch of western Cumbria just off the West Coast main line – appeared on the airwaves on Wednesday not to discuss the future of travel, as is her departmental brief, but to promote the short-term future of the prime minister.
"That is not a party in my view of a party," Ms Harrison told The World Tonight on BBC Radio in defence of Boris Johnson at that "work event" at No 10 on 20 May 2020. She went on to praising his "courageous determination to lead this country out of this pandemic".
The nature of the British political system means that the decision-makers seeking to improve our lives are also tangled in the tricky political business of improving their careers.
Ms Harrison is simply doing what politicians do: championing the contender who most closely aligns with their instincts and, understandably, hoping for recognition and self-advancement at the same time. But just at the time when the rail industry and the net-zero agenda need maximum care and attention, the minister's focus is elsewhere: assessing a drinks do in Downing Street 20 months ago. Back to the day job, please.

The Man Who Played God is een film uit 1932 onder regie van John G. Adolfi. De film is gebaseerd op het toneelstuk The Silent Voice, dat werd geschreven door Jules Eckert Goodman en werd gespeeld door acteurs in 1914 en 1915. George Arliss heeft de hoofdrol in de film. Hij speelde overigens ook dezelfde rol in het toneelstuk en in de versie uit 1922, waarin ook Mary Astor te zien was.

Het is de eerste film waarin Bette Davis te zien was onder contract van Warner Bros. Pictures. In de jaren 30 en 40 zou ze uiteindelijk haar meest succesvolle films bij de studio maken. Voor haar contract bij de studio had ze een contract bij Universal Pictures, die haar liet gaan nadat de films waarin ze verscheen allemaal flopten.

Het was door deze film dat Davis meer aandacht kreeg. Ze heeft er nooit een geheim van gemaakt dat Arliss degene was die er op stond dat zij gecast werd. Ze is hem hiervoor altijd dankbaar gebleven. Hoewel Davis nog niet geheel positieve kritieken kreeg, werd de film een enorm succes en opende nieuwe deuren voor de beginnende actrice.

Verhaal

Muzikant Montgomery Royale geeft een privéoptreden aan de monarch en raakt gewond als het optreden gebombardeerd wordt door criminelen in poging de monarch te doden. Nadat hij doof raakt en zijn muzikale carrière verwoest wordt, keert hij terug naar New York met zijn zus, haar beste vriendin Mildred en zijn verloofde Grace.

Hoewel hij eigenlijk zelfmoord wil plegen, ontdekt hij dat hij goed kan liplezen en spendeert tijd in het Central Park met het oefenen van het lezen van de lippen van de voorbijgangers. Hierdoor ontdekt hij dat sommige mensen problemen hebben en hij wil hen steunen door anoniem geschenken te sturen. Hij raakt geabsorbeerd in het spelen van "God", maar ziet in dat niet veel mensen hem dankbaar zijn. Zo ontdekt hij dat Grace afspreekt met een jonge man, op wie ze verliefd is geworden. Grace wil haar affaire eindigen om Royale bij te staan, maar Royale ziet in dat ze liever bij hem is en eindigt hun verloving zodat zij haar hart kan volgen.

Hierna blijft Royale zich gedragen als een filantroop en wordt verliefd op Mildred, waar hij naar het einde van de film toe een romance mee ontwikkelt.

County Attorney Freeman on Terrance Franklin case: 'It'll be up to a grand jury' — MSR inquires into historical failures to prosecute police for misconduct
August 14, 2013 - by MSR News Online - 1 Comment
By Charles Hallman
Historically, many local Blacks believe that no matter what evidence is presented, nothing happens to Minneapolis police officers for misconduct against people of color. The May 10 death of Terrance Franklin, reportedly at the hands of City police, has thus far done nothing to erase such beliefs.
A common theme expressed during recent public demonstrations is that the city's Black community has no confidence in the police department investigating Franklin's death or in the Hennepin County Attorney's Office that might or might not do anything to the responsible officer or officers for acts of misconduct.
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman pledges that his office will do anything in its power to see that justice is done in the Franklin case. Freeman spoke one-on-one with the MSR last week for nearly an hour. He says he understands the community's impatience, doubts and demands for answers to what happened almost four months ago in a South Minneapolis basement.
"I do not run the Minneapolis Police Department," stated Freeman, who added that his office does not get involved in police cases until the investigation, which is still ongoing, is completed. "What we do in police cases in which the result is the death of a civilian, we take every one of those cases to the grand jury."
According to both the U.S. Supreme Court and the Minnesota Fourth District Court handbook, a grand jury does not have to hear both sides of a case. "Its function is simply to hear witnesses and receive evidence as to a charge of crime." There must be "substantial evidence submitted" against the police in order to determine that criminal charges are needed.
Hennepin County Attorney
Mike Freeman
Grand jurors are randomly selected "from a fair cross section of the residents of the county" using Minnesota voter registration lists, state driver's licenses and ID cards. A grand jury must be between 16 and 23 persons, and 12 or more jurors must vote for an indictment. All deliberations and testimonies, along with the jurors' identities, are by law kept secret.
Presently, the Franklin case has not been brought to a grand jury, Freeman reported admitting that previous police misconduct cases presented to grand juries have come back with a "No Bill," meaning they did not find enough "admissible evidence" to criminally charge a police officer or officers.
"We don't know enough yet about Terrance Franklin," continued Freeman, who added that despite public protests against Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau, she "[can't] reveal a lot of things. It's a judgment call on how much to reveal and when."
This includes publicly releasing Franklin's autopsy results, said the county's top attorney. "That's criminal evidence. If the grand jury would read about it in the newspaper, then they don't have a clean slate to work with."
He vividly recalled what happened in the aftermath of the 1990 Tycel Nelson shooting death. It was falsely reported that the unarmed 17-year-old Black teenager was fatally shot in the chest. This information, Freeman believes, was given by a police commander at the scene.
"Three days later, after the autopsy report, it was revealed [that Nelson instead was killed by a shot in the back]," he remembered. That "caused huge distrust" of local law enforcement among many Blacks, he noted. "The cops were roundly criticized for trying to cover up [the actual details]."
The grand jury subsequently handed down a No Bill decision against the officer who shot Nelson. "Did the police act wisely? I don't think so," said Freeman. "Did they act criminally? The grand jury said no.
"The standard of evidence for an indictment is so much higher. That is one of the real challenges of communicating this [to the public]. Our job is not to [ask], 'Is the police procedure wise?'"
Freeman said that the reason Harteau is apparently being tight-lipped about the Franklin case is that "She is told legally not to" speak publicly about it by the City Attorney… We [do] know that two officers were shot with a police officer's gun, and we know Mr. Franklin was shot. My purpose here is not to deny that."
Nonetheless, when asked to confirm the speculation that Franklin was shot at least six times, "There are about six of us who have seen anything of that file," Freeman responded. "I would swear to the Good Lord that I haven't said anything to a newspaper. But I know there are people who don't believe that."
Freeman, however, didn't rule out the possibility that someone in the MPD spoke to a reporter. "[Local reporters] have all sorts of contacts that tell you all sorts of things. You keep asking until somebody tells you [something]. I'm sure there is a cop down there someplace who [talked to a reporter].
"I've read the same police report [story] about shots in the back of the head, and that troubles me. I can answer this — there are no leaks in this office," said Freeman.
Given the fact of several deaths of Black men over the years at the hands of Minneapolis police, as well as numerous excessive force lawsuits that cost the City millions in settlements, the current angst, fear, suspicions, and lack of confidence among many Blacks is understandable. Freeman asked for patience as the Franklin death is being investigated.
"The time I'm spending with you, we're trying to tell [the community] that…this is an important thing and I want to share [as much information] as best I can," he reiterated. "The public is deeply concerned, especially the African American [community]."
While some are comparing what happened to Franklin to the Trayvon Martin death a year ago last February, "They are totally different," Freeman argued. "Trayvon Martin was killed by a vigilante. The only parallel tragically is two young African American males died as the result of gun violence. Both of them are tragedies, but legally totally different.
"Good people can disagree with this, but police officers never shoot their gun unless [they] fear for [their] life, your life or someone else's. No shoot-to-cripple, but shoot-to-kill. That is what they do," explained the attorney.
As for the two recent incidents involving Minneapolis officers using racist and offensive language in Green Bay, Wisconsin and Apple Valley, "Do we condone that? Absolutely not," said Freeman, who pointed out that although what was done was wrong, "right now [it] isn't criminal. The issues of racism in the MPD also are separate from Terrance Franklin."
Freeman said he'd work with Harteau in an effort to improve her department's culture: "I'm prepared to help whenever I'm asked," he said.
The Hennepin County Attorney also said he is willing to meet with Black community residents and leaders to discuss how trust and confidence in the justice system can be restored. "Right now, I have to make sure that the [evidence] is completely and fairly presented to the grand jury. That's what we are obligated to do."
He pointed out that even if the final outcome is unfavorable to many, "We have to treat [the Franklin shooting] according to law, the same way as if it was a Black cop [who] shot a White kid," said the attorney. "After the grand jury is done, then I can meet with citizens to try to figure out how to make it better."

Bob B. says:
An objective prosecutor seeking justice cannot make the comment he made. He is not objective. He is unfit to run a grand jury for the police killers of Terrance Franklin.
"Good people can disagree with this, but police officers never shoot their gun unless [they] fear for [their] life, your life or someone else's.," explained the attorney.
