Snowflakes and the Sun
On 07/03/2018 15/03/2018 By CalmgroveIn literature, popular culture
On March 5th 2018 the so-called newspaper called The Sun made a rare foray into the literary world, only to shoot itself in the foot.
Writers Gary O'Shea and Thea Jacobs quoted a couple of academics who'd suggested — unsurprisingly to anybody who'd read Frankenstein — that the Creature was a victim whose actions could be understood even if not condoned.
According to the journalists (is that the correct description?) students who expressed sympathy for the Creature's plight were to be dubbed 'snowflakes'; for anyone not au fait with this term of opprobrium it means anyone who is, frankly, not a rabid gun-toting neoliberal who thinks the poor, the disabled, LGBTI campaigners, women and ethnics have only themselves to blame for being victims.
Sadly, it's not at all obvious that the writers have read either the 1818 text or the 1831 edition, in which it's abundantly clear that the Creature is the one who's been wronged.

I just loved this one when I spotted it. So. Many. Eyerolls!
I wonder how many S*n readers will have actually read the book to realise what fake news this actually was?
So how come you were reading the Sun? eh? eh? 😉 lol
Ah, this is all over social media, I just followed the links!

If they can not read, all you have to do is watch the 1931 Karloff to see the complexity of the Creature & the folly of Frankenstein.
Also from the Guardian – ironic observations

Not seen today's Guardian, so thanks for the link, Joseph! The Sun being bamboozled by cliché is one thing, but the Times pandering to anti-intellectualism? I shouldn't be surprised, they're both under Murdoch control.
etinkerbell
Was it on page 3 , Chris? 😜😂
I don't think so, unless the Creature went full-frontal…
I hate the Sun of course, but this did make me laugh. It's meant to be funny I think, probably written by Oxbridge graduates.
Thea Jacobs is apparently a newly trained journalist, but Gary O'Shea is a hardened hack, unbeloved by Hacked Off for his character assassination of at least oneinnocent suspect, and who seems more comfortable with football stories than with 19th-century literature. But it's true Sun reporters aren't as stupid as the the majority of readers they appeal to, but that doesn't make them less culpable of muck-stirring, to my thinking.
All the Sun needs to do is replace the words 'Frankenstein's monster' with 'Rupert Murdoch' and the whole thing would make sense!
Ha! Though there can't be too many of us who feel sympathy with Rupert Murdoch, unless it's employees of the Sun or the Times…
Can't think why that would be!

Love this! Can I reblog, it's so great?
Of course! Though I can't claim any personal credit for it, you understand.
Reblogged this on inkbiotic and commented:
A very funny, and mild-rage inducing post from Calmgrove here…
FAKINGNEWS: Sun journalists claim that their toilet paper is really a newspaper, and that Marxist-loving tree-huggers attacking their honest work has made them the true VICTIMS.
Even so-called academics believe that Sun journalists should be accorded human rights.
Yes, it's easy to dismiss them as a daft newspaper, but they've ruined lives. From Hillsborough, to the lies about Elf and Safety (oh what a surprise, a big corporation doesn't want to be responsible for protecting its workers) to Milly Dowler to countless other people hounded and slandered. They're a bunch of shits. It won't change anything when they get made to look stupid (like with that headline), but it does provide a little relief. So thank you for that 🙂
I've no illusions about Murdoch journalists. As I mention above Gary O'Shea is a particularly unpleasant individual who, as I understand it, pursued an innocent party in a Bristol murder enquiry, publishing salacious tittle-tattle about him as though this proved the man's guilt. Hacked Off were understandably 'hacked off' with this hack, but it hasn't stopped him writing stuff that parades innuendo as fact.
This is the chap in the Joanna Yates case that O'Shea targeted: http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2010/dec/30/joanna-yeates-landlord-watched-arrest
The Sun's reporter Gary O'Shea said he now knows the paper should have been "more neutral and dispassionate" and also apologised to Jefferies. The Sun and the Mirror, among other papers, had to pay substantial damages to Jefferies.
Horrible stuff, thanks for the articles. Of course I know you hate the Murdojournos too, I don't know if it changes anything to rant, but it feels satisfying anyway. Have a lovely day Calmgrove, don't let the bastards grind you down 🙂
Keeps us alert, Petra, to be reminded of this press empire's poisonous agenda, just in case any of us snowflakes was ever inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt!
Another "snowflake" term right-wingers here use for their opponents is bed-wetters.
The stereotypical Aussie (as caricatured by Barry Humphries) is supposed to have a rich lexicon of abuse terms, mostly based on bodily functions, is he not? (And it usually is a 'he', I understand.)
In fact there's a particularly virulent class of right-wing women who talk about bed-wetters. I suppose since it's usually women who deal with the consequences of bed-wetting, it's appropriate.
As there's usually a rather distressing reason for a young child to wet the bed it's also a remark that is singularly insensitive and uncaring, so says more about the person using the insult than the recipient. ☹
The Artist's Child
Thanks for sharing. Had not heard about this but nothing surprises me about tabloid journalism. I've read the book. It's wonderful and the creature is to be pitied. Frankenstein is the real monster with his experiments. Hard to believe anyone could get so worked up about a fictional character and attack those who have a sympathetic viewpoint. They must have had a slow news day!
This story was 'sexed up' taken from a more nuanced report in the Times. Thus, another example of lazy journalism slanted to appeal to the prejudices of the paper's readership and calculated to froth up a storm in a teacup.

Mixing Business and Pleasure: Running a Restaurant is Tough but These Chefs Do It Together
Most people keep their love life separate from their work life—never mix business with pleasure, "they" say. However, chefs aren't "most people" and sparks often fly in the kitchen, in more ways than one. We talked to four couples who run restaurants together about how they find balance with their work and personal lives. It isn't easy, but working with someone you love has benefits. Here's what they said.
● 5 min read
Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis
Together for 10 years
Met at an Italian restaurant in Los Angeles
What's the best part about working together?
Ori: I always have someone to go to for an opinion. If I feel like one of my dishes is missing something, or even perfect, I like her to taste it and give me her opinion. When we opened, the first six months were brutal (mentally and physically) and she gave me some extra power. I trust her with everything. We're amazed how easy it is to work together.
Genevieve: I enjoy torturing him all day long and looking at his butt [laughter]. And feeling like I have someone there that I can trust completely.
What's the hardest part?
Ori: She's the only person I can't tell what to do. She has her pastry department and I wouldn't want to step on her authority.
Genevieve: Now that we have a baby, I want to be at work to support him. It's almost more stressful not going to work, but I don't want to leave our nine-month-old baby girl, either.
What's your partner's greatest strength?
Ori: She has no fear and isn't afraid to take chances.
Genevieve: He has the most amazing intuition. He sees if something's wrong and fixes it before it becomes a bigger problem.
Do you ever want to just be alone sometimes?
Ori: My routine is talking to people all day long. I'm tired at the end of the day and wish I could have two hours to read a book and not have any noise around me. I do get a massage once a week.
Genevieve: I come home from work by 5:30 and put the baby down at 8. So I'm alone till he gets home really late.
Would it be easier to work in different industries or restaurants?
Ori: If we didn't work together at the restaurant, we wouldn't see each. Ever. Our relationship would be nonexistent. I love my wife and baby.
Elizabeth Blau and Kim Canteenwalla
Honey Salt, Buddy V's Ristorante, Simon Restaurant and Lounge, Made. LV, Andiron Steak & Sea
Met while working on various culinary projects
Elizabeth: I think the best part is we're both so passionate about the industry and food and what we do. Often times we're traveling for work and around the world. It's nice to do that with the person you love.
Kim: Elizabeth really nailed it. We both enjoy and love what we're doing.
Kim: We never stop working. I seem to bring up work at the most inappropriate times. You try to draw a line between work and play but it's hard. Most people go home and they can shut out work.
Elizabeth: He nailed it. That's the only difficult thing: separating and balancing work and family life. Not only as his partner but as the mom.
Elizabeth: Kim has an amazing attention to detail. He sees things not only in the kitchen but in the front of house.
Kim: It's how she easily articulates herself in front of everyone, from major CEOs to a girl on the bus. She makes people feel comfortable. She also gets the big things and the little things and balances those well.
Kim: Yes, and now with our son it's harder. We all need our own time and Elizabeth is better at it than I am.
Elizabeth: Our company is so diversified (with five restaurants and consulting). It's not like we're sitting in one office or restaurant, so we're not on top of each other that way.
Elizabeth: The nature of our business is that it's seven days a week, not 9-5 Monday through Friday, so that makes it more difficult. When Kim was the executive chef at MGM, it was harder. We'd have Sunday together and he'd want to sleep. Now we have more responsibilities and hundreds of people of working for us, but at least there are nights when we can have dinner together.
Cesar Zapata and Ani Meinhold
Met at the Four Seasons in Miami
Ani: You've always got a support system. We both have the same goals but different ways of accomplishing them. If I get frustrated with something, he's the first person I turn to.
Cesar: In this industry you work so many long hours. So if we weren't working together, we would never see each other.
Cesar: Sometimes getting into arguments. And sometimes you might bring it home. It can be difficult to separate the professional and the personal stuff.
Ani: I agree with that. Cesar and I are pretty opposite. He's more mellow, I'm more intense. When we disagree, it's hard, because you don't want to disrespect your partner—especially in a public environment.
Cesar: Her strong personality. She's a risk taker. She's strong and doesn't take shit from no one. She pushes. And if she has a goal, whatever it takes, she pushes to achieve it. I love that about her.
Ani: First, his creativity. He's extremely talented. The other is his patience. Because he's so patient and calm, it helps me slow down.
Cesar: Only when we fight. I like being with her all the time. We're a team and complete each other. When I go on a trip by myself, I miss her automatically. She's my partner in crime, my team player. I couldn't do this without her and enjoy working with her.
Ani: We're always together. It is a lifestyle. You know that you're gonna put in 70, 80, 90, 100 hours a week and when that's over, what are you gonna do? Whether it's in work or out of work, running a restaurant is completely consuming. So long as each person respects the other's strengths, it works.
Sarah and Evan Rich
Rich Table
Met at Bouley in New York City
Evan: We get to spend time together. Over 13 years, we've developed a "she's good at this, I'm good at that" relationship.
Sarah: You've got this person who you can communicate with on a different level.
Evan: It creates awkward moments for the staff when we argue. And It's not just a job, it's a lifestyle.
Sarah: No matter what happens, you've got that person, but there's nothing separating work and life. It's not an easy lifestyle, (especially with two kids and the restaurant.)
Sarah: I know Evan both as a cook and from a business perspective but seeing how he encourages and motivates people, it's interesting to watch him balance that. He sees things that other people don't. He's a very good businessman, too. He's both.
Evan: She's got a really good eye for detail and organization. She keeps my wild ambition in check. I'm the dreamer. She shakes it out of me and makes me make a list so that it's executed well.
Evan: Of course. That's one of the double-edged swords.
Sarah: We don't get a lot of time together, but everyone needs alone time.
Evan: One of the major benefits of working together is that someone has your back and it's a deeper connection than a regular business partner. It gives you more confidence. It's not just that we're working together, this is an extension of who we are.
Sarah: There are times when I think there'd be less pressure, but we've been talking about making our restaurant a reality for so long. It's not like we're together all day long, so we're not in each other's faces.

The Best Part of the New Child's Play Is the Behind-the-Scenes Drama
There are now two competing Chucky franchises, and the knives are out.

The remake of Child's Play, which arrives in theaters Friday, may not sound like the kind of thing that should stir up controversy, even among cranky horror fans: Freddy, Jason, and Michael Myers have all been revived over the years, via increasingly absurd means, so why should Chucky be any different? But the new Child's Play—the first not to involve the series' longtime writer, Don Mancini, after six sequels—has inspired more quarreling in the press and online than any other horror reboot in memory. Somewhere, a murderous doll is arranging blood-soaked alphabet blocks to spell out a new message: D-R-A-M-A.
To understand why so many people would get so bent out of shape over a killer-doll movie, you should know two bits of backstory. The first is that the original Child's Play, a surprise hit in the fall of 1988, was released by United Artists, but—as entertainingly explained by Entertainment Weekly earlier this year—the sequels were released by Universal, which took over the franchise because a potential buyer of UA in 1989 didn't want to be in the business of these particularly sordid horror movies.
The second is that Mancini, who was still at UCLA when he wrote the screenplay that became Child's Play (he eventually shared writing credit with the film's director, Tom Holland, and another writer), has become the non-plastic face of the franchise. He wrote the scripts for 1990's Child's Play 2 and 1991's Child's Play 3, each of which saw diminishing returns at the box office. Then, after the franchise spent a few years in the dustbin, he took it back out and resuscitated it, memorably, with 1998's Bride of Chucky, which leaned into the series' demented comedy and introduced Jennifer Tilly as Chucky's longtime love interest (both when he was flesh and blood and also in doll form—Chucky, we learn, is anatomically correct). That movie led to Seed of Chucky, which Mancini wrote and, in a first for the screenwriter, directed himself. It follows Chucky and Tiffany's child, a gender-confused doll known variously as (in a nod to Ed Wood) Glen and Glenda. The film's dramatization of gender fluidity was, er, questionable, even in 2004, and by the time Chucky and his nonbinary progeny murdered Britney Spears in a ball of flames, it was clear the series had gone off the rails. The movie was not a hit.

But even if the sequels were never especially successful, the franchise remained Mancini's professional lifeblood. His Twitter account manages to find Chucky tie-ins with everything from Father's Day to Pride Month, and he continues to write and direct straight-to-video Chucky movies. (The latest, Cult of Chucky, arrived in 2017.) Next, he's greeting our era of Peak TV with a Chucky television show.

— Don Mancini (@RealDonMancini) June 16, 2019
And that brings us, at last, to the drama. Last July, MGM–United Artists, which still owns the rights to the original movie, announced it would fast-track a remake. Mancini had been offered an executive producer credit on the project but was otherwise not asked to be involved. (Instead, as with many fashionable horror remakes, it would be directed by a Norwegian.) Chucky would not be possessed by a serial killer but instead would become an A.I. run amok. And Brad Dourif, who had voiced Chucky for three decades, wouldn't work on the new movie, either. (In a clever bit of fanboy neutralization, the studio instead brought in Mark Hamill.)
Predictably, Mancini was pissed. He refused the executive producer credit and urged fans to read and share pieces from outlets like the Hollywood Reporter and Slashfilm about how dumb an idea a remake was, mostly because he wasn't around. ("How am I supposed to feel about a Child's Play remake that Mancini himself declined to executive produce?" the latter asked.) Horror fan sites like Dread Central and Bloody Disgusting, normally reliable for a steady stream of favorable coverage, sounded notes of skepticism. On social media, fans directed reassurances ("It's not chucky with out you!") and Danny DeVito GIFs at Mancini and Dourif in support. When the image of the newfangled Chucky dropped that fall, Mancini couldn't resist tweeting his displeasure.
THIS IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY ON THAT SUBJECT pic.twitter.com/r2llIGSDWx
— Don Mancini (@RealDonMancini) September 21, 2018
It was, in fact, not all Mancini had to say on the subject. Appearing later on director Mick Garris' Post Mortem podcast, Mancini had thoughts. "Obviously my feelings were hurt," he said. "I did create the character and nurture the franchise for three fucking decades." He said the studio's overtures to him had been superficial—"they just wanted our approval, which I strenuously denied them"—and reiterated that this was about more than money: "It's not just a paycheck. It's very personal. MGM's screwing with that."
It's not just Mancini who's speaking out. Dourif and Tilly too have made their allegiances clear, taking to Twitter to reject the new remake and express support for their killer-doll godfather:
Don't worry Babe. You're the only anatomically correct animatronic killer doll for me! pic.twitter.com/sJC3yW4ePs
— Jennifer Tilly (@JenniferTilly) June 14, 2019
Dourif's message was a bit more sinister:
A "Child's Play" Remake, what do you think about it?
Photo by amovieguy14 on Instagram. pic.twitter.com/V87ReRAAS6
— Brad Dourif (@Brad_Dourif) July 12, 2018
Throughout the ordeal, Mancini has insisted that, though his most recent two sequels, Curse of Chucky and Cult of Chucky, did not make it to theaters, they were well received, with fresh ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. Why make a remake, he suggests, when he's still producing well-liked originals? His premise is technically correct, though neither movie amassed very many reviews, period, and both suffer from a limited budget and overindulgent fan service. Cult of Chucky, for example, opens with Andy—the same boy from the original movie, played by the same actor, Alex Vincent—pulling Chucky's severed head out of a safe, smoking a joint with it, and then torturing it with a blowtorch. Would this make sense to anyone who hasn't already watched 12 hours of Chucky movies? Mancini is making movies for the Chucky faithful, and early word is that his TV series is very much in the same vein. It's hard to imagine the remake will cut too deeply into such an inside-baseball audience. In any case, whatever backroom voodoo curses Mancini has been putting on the new movie seem to be working: The studio has embargoed all reviews until hours before it debuts, typically a sign of low confidence. All the drama seems a little misplaced.
Then again, if it seems odd that anyone would get too worked up about the fate of a killer doll, you have to understand that horror fans are a loyal bunch, and Mancini, in turn, is an unusually faithful creator. He's brought back stars like Tilly, Vincent, and Dourif for multiple movies, and he even cast Dourif's daughter, Fiona Dourif, as a lead in the past two sequels. And Chucky himself has, in the movies, expressed a fierce loyalty to his original form. In one scene in Seed of Chucky, in which he ponders a potential new vessel, he may have said it best: "As a doll, I'm fucking infamous! I'm one of the most notorious slashers in history. And I don't wanna give that up."

For many years I had a gym membership at large impersonal place which I visited seldom. Occasionally I would go there for cardio or lift a weight just to reduce my guilt from paying monthly fees. Then I found the Fitness Studio at Annapolis. Not only was the space intimate and personal, so were the trainers. Unlike the old gym, the fitness studio is a "one on one" hour exchange between a professional trainer and you. What began as a once a week session "until I got back into shape" is now a twice a week session for life!
I replaced my guilt of an unused impersonal big box gym membership, with real results. All of the trainers at the Fitness Studio are committed to the health, fitness and overall quality of life for their clients.

Hey folks, I'm back from the dead. The flu didn't spare me and threw me to bed for one week. I'm still not a 100% fit (I miss doing Yoga, so much!!), but I'm getting there. Anyway before I got the flu we spend a few days in the Swiss mountains (Lenzerheide), where we also celebrated New Year's eve.
Even if I'm not that much of a winter lover I have to admit that when the city is full of snow and sparkling in thousands of beautiful christmas lights, when the streets smell of delicious Glühwein, when the magic in the air is tangible and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, then I can't help myself but love the cold season.
I know it has been a few weeks, I think that was my longest lack of posting ever. I'm sorry. But as you may have seen on my Instagram account, I spent the last three weeks in Thailand.

Mental illness not usually linked to crime, research finds
In a study of crimes committed by people with serious mental disorders, only 7.5 percent were directly related to symptoms of mental illness, according to new research published by the American Psychological Association.
Researchers analyzed 429 crimes committed by 143 offenders with three major types of mental illness and found that 3 percent of their crimes were directly related to symptoms of major depression, 4 percent to symptoms of schizophrenia disorders and 10 percent to symptoms of bipolar disorder.
"When we hear about crimes committed by people with mental illness, they tend to be big headline-making crimes so they get stuck in people's heads," said lead researcher Jillian Peterson, PhD. "The vast majority of people with mental illness are not violent, not criminal and not dangerous."
The study was conducted with former defendants of a mental health court in Minneapolis. The participants completed a two-hour interview about their criminal history and mental health symptoms, covering an average of 15 years. The study, published online in the APA journal Law and Human Behavior, may be the first to analyze the connection between crime and mental illness symptoms for offenders over an extended period of their lives, said Peterson, a psychology professor at Normandale Community College in Bloomington, Minn.
The study didn't find any predictable patterns linking criminal conduct and mental illness symptoms over time. Two-thirds of the offenders who had committed crimes directly related to their mental illness symptoms also had committed unrelated crimes for other reasons, such as poverty, unemployment, homelessness and substance abuse, according to the research. "Is there a small group of people with mental illness committing crimes again and again because of their symptoms? We didn't find that in this study," Peterson said.
In the United States, more than 1.2 million people with mental illness are incarcerated in jails or prisons, according to the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics. People with mental illnesses also are on probation or parole at two to four times the rate for the general population.
In addition to interviews with offenders, the researchers reviewed criminal history and social worker files to help rate crimes based on their association with symptoms of schizophrenia disorders (hallucinations and delusions), bipolar disorder (impulsivity and risk-taking behavior) or major depression (hopelessness and suicidal thoughts). The ratings were: no relationship between mental illness symptoms and the crime, mostly unrelated, mostly related or directly related.
A crime could be rated as mostly unrelated or mostly related to mental illness symptoms if those symptoms contributed to the cause of the crime but weren't solely responsible for it. For example, an offender with schizophrenia who was agitated because he heard voices earlier in the day later got into a bar fight, but he wasn't hearing voices at the time of the altercation, so the crime was categorized as mostly related.
When the directly related and mostly related categories were combined, the percentage of crimes attributed to mental illness symptoms increased from 7.5 percent to 18 percent, or less than one in five of the crimes analyzed in the study. Of crimes committed by participants with bipolar disorder, 62 percent were directly or mostly related to symptoms, compared with 23 percent for schizophrenia and 15 percent for depression. Some participants may have described their mood as "manic" during a crime even though they could have just been angry or abusing drugs or alcohol, so the percentage of crimes attributed to bipolar disorder may be inflated, Peterson said.
Almost two-thirds of the study participants were male, with an average age of 40. They were evenly divided between white and black offenders (42 percent each, 16 percent other races), and 85 percent had substance abuse disorders. The study did not include offenders with serious violent offenses because the mental health court did not adjudicate those crimes, but the participants did describe other violent crimes they had committed. The study also did not examine how substance abuse interacted with mental illness to influence criminal behavior.
The researchers said programs designed to reduce recidivism for mentally ill offenders should be expanded beyond mental health treatment to include cognitive-behavioral treatment about criminal thinking, anger management and other behavioral issues. Programs to address basic needs also are essential to reduce recidivism for all offenders after incarceration, including drug treatment and housing and employment support, Peterson said.

…about graves, gravestones, and graveyards
← Valentin Blatz, Beer Baron
August Krug, Brewer →
Frederick Pabst, Beer Baron
Posted on August 23, 2017 by gravelyspeaking
Frederick Pabst
March 28, 1836 – January 1, 1904
Frederick Pabst was born in the small Saxon village in what was then the Kingdom of Prussia. When he was twelve, he immigrated to the United States with his father and mother, Gottlieb and Johanna Pabst. While working at odd jobs in restaurants to make ends meet his mother died in a cholera epidemic in Chicago. Pabst eventually took a job on a steamer on Lake Michigan. He earned his pilot's license and while serving as captain on a steamer met Philip Best, the owner of a small and successful Milwaukee brewery. Pabst and Philip Best's daughter, Maria, were married in 1862. By 1864, Pabst had joined his father-in-law in the brewery, learning everything he could about the business. Through savvy business and marketing skills, the Best Brewery was brewing 100,000 barrels of beer annually, up from the production of 5,000 barrels a year when his father-in-law retired nine years earlier. The company went public to raise the money necessary to modernize the brewing process and facilities. Pabst became president of the corporation in 1873.
By the time the Best Brewery had its name changed to the Pabst Brewing Company in 1889, Pabst was producing over a million barrels of beer annually, the first to do so, and was the largest brewing company in the world. The beer being produced was also recognized as pretty tasty winning ribbons and gold medals. As a marketing ploy, the company had blue ribbons hand tied to each bottle of beer to designate its "select" beer even before it actually won a blue ribbon at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. When customers started referring to and asking for the "blue ribbon beer" the name stuck and the company made it official.
By the time of his death in 1904, Frederick Pabst was a successful Milwaukee businessman and civic leader. He was survived his widow, Maria, and five adult children. Pabst was laid to rest in the Forest Home Cemetery at Milwaukee.
The Pabst Monument is an example of Victorian design and craftsmanship carved of white marble. The central features is a woman in a draped and flowing gown, her head bowed in grief. Often these sepulchral figures are referred to as weepers, representing mourning and sorrow. Since ancient times, women have been the ones in our families and in our society who showed grief and shed tears over those lost to death. They stand over the graves and weep.
According to, Victorian Cemetery Art by Edmund V. Gillon Jr., published by Dover Publications, Inc., New York, 1972, "The large amounts of space in the Victorian cemetery were to revolutionize cemetery art, and permit the use of sculpture in a way that the crowded churchyard had never allowed." Now there was room in the garden cemeteries of the nineteenth century for lavish monuments. Gillon goes on to write, "Sepulchral sculpture, with its prone effigies and kneeling weepers, had flowered in the past, but only for the rich and powerful."

As we have discussed in previous articles and on Twitter, DraftKings did daily fantasy players a favor by releasing the salaries and opening the tournament in advance. The odds at sportsbooks have changed since then due to great or poor play, injuries or simply bets coming in.
As you can see on the odds per dollar tab, there are some outstanding plays. But, we can only play so many of the stars because they are expensive. For this specific article, I'll use that criteria, but I'll also use other statistical factors or influences that could play into their rounds this weekend. You'll also notice I don't care about using guys who haven't won a major. That's a false notion.
For the sake simplicity, I'll refer to stars as anyone at $9,900 or above. Yes, there are several "stars" cheaper than that, but it's mostly subjective and then you get into the mid-tier salary players.
Jordan Spieth $11,900 – Since the $2.2 Millionaire Maker opened, Spieth has finished 1st, 2nd and T2 (lost in a playoff). It's pretty obvious why Spieth has amazing value. He'll be highly used, but luckily so will Bubba Watson and Rory McIlroy, and you won't be able to use two guys at that price without running way too much risk at everyone making the cut.
Dustin Johnson $10,500 – Somehow it seems like no one is talking about Dustin despite that he's finished T6, 1st and T2 in three of his last four events. He's first in driving distance and sixth in birdie or better percentage, which is a significant factor at Augusta.
Henrik Stenson $10,100 – His last four finishes are 2nd, 4th, T4 and 2nd. All four of the fields at those tournaments were strong. Stenson's 122nd ranked driving distance (286.4 yards) is also misleading as he averages 300.4 yards off the tee on the European Tour where he's played more events. He's also 19th in birdie or better percentage.
Rory McIlroy $14,900 – Sure, Rory could win. However, he hasn't been playing his best golf this season. and he quite frankly hasn't been in contention once. He did win the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, but that was over two months ago in an average field. He should probably be the favorite or one of the favorites, but 5-1 odds is way too much, and it's quite frankly 5-1 because he's going for Rory and the career grand slam. He should be closer to 10-1, and I think he's overpriced as a result.
Adam Scott $10,800 – Three things going against Scott: First, his odds are awful for the price. Second, he's not playing his best golf this season. Third, he's going back to the long putter this week, and his inconsistent play is influenced from going back and forth as he gets ready for the rules change.
Bubba Watson – $12,200 – I'm somewhat torn on Bubba, so I'll break down the pros and cons. Pros: He's finished no worse than T14 the entire season, second in driving distance and fourth in birdie or better percentage. Cons: His odds aren't nearly as good as Spieth for the price, the whole lefties do well at Augusta thing is overblown, Bubba hasn't played a tournament since the first weekend of March and he will be used a ton given he's the defending champion. Bubba will likely have a very good week, but I don't expect him to win.
Jason Day – $11,300 – Ranked ninth in driving distance and first in birdie or better percentage, Day has been playing superb golf this year and is the best golfer of the last few years to not win a major. He's been in contention down the stretch a ton at majors as he's posted four top-eight finishes in the last two years and seven top-10 finishes in the last four years. Day's resume at the Masters is T2, WD (was injured most of 2012), 3 and T20. Day has every reason to have an outstanding weekend, but he's in neutral just because of Spieth's odds.
Phil Mickelson $9,900 – After missing the cut at the Phoenix Open and the Farmers Insurance Open, Mickelson has put together four made cuts and two top-20 finishes. His game is coming into better form, he's typically very aggressive at Augusta (still 37th in driving distance and 15th in birdie or better percentage) and has great odds per dollar. However, his odds are often jacked some because he's Phil and it doesn't represent his true odds. Jimmy Walker, who is a must-play, has been more expensive than Phil this season, but now Mickelson is $1,000 more expensive for the Masters. With the pros and cons to this, Mickelson is fine to use, but I wouldn't load up on him.

when do the browns play the redskins
But Washington's draft history suggests that their pass rushers are, at least, a talented group. The following browsers are supported: Chrome, Edge (v80 and later), Firefox and Safari. We agree, and we're here to recap those six plays that changed the outcome of the Browns' 30-10 win over the Washington Redskins on Thursday night at FirstEnergy Stadium. Through two weeks, the Bengals have recorded just two sacks, and only the Lions (19 percent) have won a smaller portion of their pass-rushing matchups than Cincinnati (30 percent). Sprinkle tied his season-high with 28 offensive snaps, and he finally made his first catch of the year. Green with Ward in coverage, Burrow only completed two-of-seven passes for 14 yards. Powered by. The 24-year-old safety played 11 games for Washington over the previous two seasons, recording 15 tackles and a pass breakup. In Week 2, the Cardinals humbled Washington 30-15 while the Browns showed signs of an explosive offense against the Bengals. "I thought it was a good drive. We did not have a third down. The Cleveland Browns play at home on Sunday against the Washington Football Team. With little wind to speak of and all of the pressure provided by a camp-long kicking battle, Joseph calmly drilled the 43-yarder as if he'd been kicking in the NFL for a decade or longer. The last time these two teams met was October 2, 2016, when the Redskins defeated … Kitchens elected to test his offense's mettle, going for it instead of settling for a field goal attempt. Sheehy-Guiseppi fielded the punt and sprinted through the coverage, weaving in and out of defenders before cutting around his last blocker and outrunning the remaining opponents for an 86-yard punt return that was so shocking and exhilarating, his entire team ran on the field to celebrate with him. Where: FirstEnergy Stadium. Some of it factors into who is available.", NFL Network's Mike Garafolo sent out a tweet saying that his understanding is "most, if not all (starters) will be a go.", Freddie Kitchens has been noncommittal on whether the starters would play tonight but my understanding is most, if not all, will be a go. He didn't advance the ball further, but he'd made his statement in his first game in FirstEnergy Stadium. The play finished off a drive with a pace that was reminiscent of the University of Oregon's glory days and was difficult for those with a little offseason rust to keep up with. — Cleveland Browns (@Browns) July 25, 2019, "He can do things I've never seen before," Mayfield said in a recent Sports Illustrated interview. Curl will start at strong safety following news that Landon Collins (torn Achilles) is done for the season, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. That level of usage is bound to regress eventually, and with a Week 8 bye on tap, it's possible this was just a one-week surge. In what had become a sleepy fourth quarter, little-known returner Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi -- a diminutive speedster who fibbed his way into a tryout and slept on a patch of grass outside a Miami gym for nearly a week before earning a contract with the Browns -- trotted back to field a punt from Washington's Tress Way. The Browns have an 33-12-1 all-time record against Washington. Allen completed 15 of 25 pass attempts for 194 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 25-3 win over the Cowboys. The following is a list of all regular season and postseason games played between the Cleveland Browns and Washington Football Team. Opponents have converted 48 percent of third downs against the Browns this season, and that does not include the five fourth downs the Bengals converted last week. Washington signed Reaves to the active roster Tuesday, Kyle Stackpole of the team's official site reports. Cleveland Browns QB Baker Mayfield. With a Week 8 bye on tap, it wouldn't be surprising if Washington tried out another kicker, but if Hopkins holds onto the starting job, the Week 9 matchup against the Giants should be favorable for fantasy purposes. He's in the second season of a six-year, $84 million contract, and it would cost Washington $13.8 million in dead cap space if the Football Team released him this offseason. The browser you are using is no longer supported on this site. Wilson raced past the Washington offense toward the end zone, stiff-arming Haskins as he fell over the goal line in a heap for the pick-six, less than a week after he made a similarly stunning play in practice. "When you have a guy like that, you never want to let him down," Beckham said when asked about his quarterback. Why Didn't the Browns Run Outside Zone More Against the Steelers? Our practices are pretty physical from that standpoint. The Redskins again made the playoffs in 1973, 1974, and 1976, only to lose all three times in the first round. On fourth-and-goal from the Washington 1, late in the first quarter, the Browns had a chance to regain the lead and also earn a mental victory. "Once we get on the same page, I just feel like it's gonna be scary.". For the first time in 2019, we rolled out the red carpet along Lake Erie.

Ironically, Cleveland also ranks 22nd in third-down defense. Redskins running back Larry Brown would be named the 1972 NFL's Most Valuable Player. There's still no confirmation from the team about the nature of his injury, but Collins will be shut down for the rest of the season once the diagnosis is confirmed. The Browns and the Football Team have inversely reflected each other's results through two weeks. When we hand the ball off, we are supposed to block for (Running back) Nick (Chubb). Eight of them came during Week 1 against a banged-up Eagles offensive line, but the three they managed against Kyler Murray was still the 10th most in the league during Week 2 — impressive considering Murray is a difficult scrambler to contain. Washington recovered, earning a turnover on downs and keeping the score at 7-7. San Francisco 49ers trade LB Kwon Alexander to New Orleans Saints. As we grow chemistry together, it can be pretty special. The Browns defeated the Bengals 35-30. It also gave Joseph a bit of in-game evidence to back his case for the starting kicker job. Hopkins made one of two field goals and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Cowboys. He wasn't especially productive the rest of the way, but he didn't need to do much as the Dallas offense struggled both before and after Andy Dalton (concussion) left the game.

GettyCleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. compared his quarterback Baker Mayfield to Brett Favre. The Redskins will then travel to face the Cleveland Browns to close out a two-game road stand on Sept. 27 at 1:00 p.m. on FOX. A lot of things factor into those questions. Meanwhile, the Browns secondary can't seem to stay healthy. Kamren Curl is expected to start at strong safety moving forward. Myles Garrett to have MRI on injured knee. The following is a list of all regular season and postseason games played between the Cleveland Browns and Washington Football Team. He makes my job easy. When Higgins scored and trotted to the back of the end zone to celebrate, Mayfield sprinted down to play photographer. In the past, I've worked for The Athletic and clevelandbrowns.com. The turnover didn't produce points, but it stopped a Washington drive in its tracks and further boosted Wilson's mounting momentum. Collins likely tore his Achilles during Sunday's win over Dallas, and he'll have an MRI on Monday to confirm the diagnosis, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. The capper: a beautiful, 24-yard touchdown pass down the seam, over the hands of an outstretched defender and into the grasp of Rashard Higgins, who caught the ball and bounced off another defender in the end zone. This is a significant loss for a Washington defense that has been a bright spot of an otherwise turbulent season. As more than 80 fellow Browns sprinted out to the end zone in front of the Dawg Pound, Sheehy-Guiseppi pumped his fist in jubilation before he was nearly clotheslined by a teammate.

Collins underwent season-ending surgery Monday after an MRI confirmed he tore his left Achilles' tendon in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Cowboys, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. The Redskins will face the Browns and Ravens in consecutive games again in 2020 after Washington swept Baltimore and Cleveland in back-to-back weeks in 2012 and 2016. The Browns are now 5-3 heading to the bye. The last time these two teams met was October 2, 2016, when the Redskins defeated the Browns 31-20 in Washington. -- The Cleveland Browns continue the preseason tonight against the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field. Cleveland vs. Washington is, strangely, one of four matchups this week between teams that rank in the bottom 11 in third-down conversion percentage. I am not trying to dismiss it. I write about Cleveland sports, specializing in Browns coverage. The feeling has been mutual from Mayfield, who has seen his wide receiver pull off some amazing catches already. Dalton had given himself up and was sliding to the ground when Bostic lowered his shoulder and administered a violent hit on the quarterback's head, forcing him to leave the game and enter concussion protocol.

Out of all the marvel super heroes who is your favorite one and why? Posted this because lately I'v been getting into marvel

Re: Marvel Heroes!
Captain America has always been my favorite Super Hero of all time. I think my interest in his character really took off when Ed Brubaker started writing his series. The new Cap movie is based entirely on his story.
Gamertag: Pirovash88 Twitch.TV/Pirovash88
He was my favorite for a long time as well but Cable always seem to be next to him. I think i liked Cable more because he kind of like saves all the heroes from dying and he just looks like a badass but idk cap i grew up with so its hard to pick for me.

First I'll say that I have hardly read comics so my exposure comes from games, the cartoon from the 90's, and fansite/wiki browsing.
Gambit is my answer. Gambit is suave and dandy-like but has a heart and beat a kill-or-be-killed youth that, while it has an impact on him as a person, he seems to have beaten for the most part. I think his power is cool, it's not omega busted or a concept I find stupid like Franklin Richards or Scarlet Witch or the Hulk, and is a little more interesting than just having an elemental power (I like Iceman, but...) or super strength/speed.

Forgot all about Gambit he's like the most badass heroes in marvel i think i read once that he could blow things up by just looken at it but then someone took that power away from him.

As much as I shit on the Amazing Spider-Man movies, I'd have to say that Spider-Man is probably my favorite. I loved the original movies, and before that the animated series, and before that the original comics. My dad had a collection of small full color trade paperbacks which collected the first 25 issues, and I read through them one summer in the 90's.
The Nomad Junkyard - The Dreamcast Junkyard - The Saturn Junkyard - SEGA Memories
Iron Man.
Many loves him now, but I love him long way back before Robert Downey Jr's movie came out when he's not that popular.
It's because of that Capcom's arcade game Marvel Super Heroes where he looked so damn cool with his supermoves, especially Proton Cannon.
I got curious of his character and tracked all his comic books since then.
Yeah, my love for him started from video game, just like my love for Michael Jackson started from SEGA's arcade game Moonwalker.

Spider-man for me.
Spider-Man is probably every body's hero for who loved Marvel.
I don't think I ever heard someone's saying he hates Spider-Man.
No issue for liking Spider-man. Though I am still on the fence for Tom Holland.
Quote from: Mystic Monkey on April 10, 2021, 09:16:52 am
Tom Holland version is more like Ultimate Universe version of Spider-Man, not from main universe.
With that in mind, I have no problem on how he is represented.
He does have a kinda similar best friend (Ned is kinda similar to Ganke) and Tony Stark / Iron Man as his mentor.
The difference is Ultimate Universe version of Spider-Man ended up dead (after more than 100 issues), replaced by Miles Morales.
There are pros and cons I feel over Tom Holland's Spider-man. Sure it's nice they mixed up the formula quite a bit but TOny Stark pretty much replaced Uncle Ben which I don't like much, but Spider-man is now sort of replacing Iron-man which I do sorta like, given I know in mainstream Peter Parker grows up and starts his own science and tech corporation.
I sitll think Tobey Maguire did a great job as Spider-man... up until his third movie. And I can imagine Andrew Garfield Spider-man in the same universe as Tom Hardy Venom.

TIME: 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time
WELCOMING REMARKS:
Matthew Y.C. Lin, MD, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Minority Health, US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Director, Office of Minority Health (OMH)
Elena Rios, MD, MSPH, President and CEO, National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA)

This webinar—presented by the National Hispanic Medical Association and the Office of Minority Health's National Partnership for Action to End Health Disparities (NPA)—will highlight strategies to diversify the health workforce in order to create a more equitable future for all. Currently, the nation's health workforce does not reflect the diversity of the nation. A diverse health workforce—made up of individuals with a wide range of characteristics and experiences, including different races, ethnicities, genders, ages, religions, and sexual orientations—serves as a strategy for addressing racial and ethnic health disparities. Increasing the diversity of the health workforce can help to improve access to care in underserved communities; increase patient choice, satisfaction, and health outcomes; and enhance healthcare quality for vulnerable populations. Presenters will share their experiences, recommendations, and tools for increasing the diversity of the health workforce to meet the needs of communities of color, thereby allowing for a more positive and equitable future.
Established in 1994 in Washington, DC, the National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) is a non-profit association representing the interests of 50,000 licensed Hispanic physicians in the United States. NHMA is dedicated to empowering Hispanic physicians to be leaders who will help eliminate health disparities and improve the health of Hispanic and other underserved populations in collaboration with Hispanic state medical societies, residents, and medical students, and other public and private sector partners.
The National Partnership for Action to End Health Disparities (NPA) was established by the Office of Minority Health (OMH) in 2011. The NPA is a community-driven, partnership-based, multi-level and multi-sector approach that focuses on addressing the social determinants of health (SDoH) as the root cause of health disparities and on increasing awareness of the significance of those disparities and their impact on the nation.

Q: Are there any real world examples of encoding data in EM polarization? Data can be encoded by modulating the frequency, amplitude and phase. But I can't find any references for encoding data in the polarization of EM waves (either analog or digital). This is probably for a good reason which I do not understand. Are there any examples of such schemes?

A: A receiver connected to a simple receiving antenna cannot distinguish between a plain carrier of polarization A and the same carrier transmitted with a different polarization and amplitude - they could look the same to the receiver.
If there was something that could re-polarize the transmission as a means of modulating the carrier, the receiver would just detect it as amplitude modulation.
Simple transmit antennas (and probably some quite complex ones too) can't be electrically made to change their polarization.
Signal reflections from objects can reorient polarization and this could muddle things up.

A: It certainly can be done, it just isn't very useful, except in certain situations.
For example, ham radio operators sometimes like to do experiments with reflecting signals off the moon (EME, or earth-moon-earth, a.k.a. "moonbounce"). It's useful to transmit with circular polarization, because the reflection comes back with the opposite polarization, which means that the receiving antenna is better at rejecting unwanted terrestrial reflections.
However, in the general case, different polarizations have different propagation characteristics, which makes it difficult to maintain coherency in terms of demodulating a useful payload at the receiving end.

Microsoft Looks to Crack Mobile Enterprise Nut
By Michael Hickins
Microsoft (Quote) is introducing Windows Mobile 6 in the
hopes of making inroads in the enterprise handset market.
The new platform now allows users to edit Microsoft Office applications on their handheld devices. The company said this and other enhancements to its mobile client will help it gain traction in a market that has been dominated by Research in Motion (Quote), Palm (Quote) and others, by giving customers a user experience that more closely resembles what they get on their PC.
The challenges have been adding PC-type capabilities and applications in a
manner that doesn't hog too much memory and making those applications
usable on a small screen.
"That's been a key strategy for us from the beginning," John
Starkweather, product manager for Microsoft's Windows Mobile and Embedded
Devices group, told internetnews.com. "We haven't added the big windows, but we added things you only used to be able to do on a PC."
According to Starkweather, the Mobile 6 platform uses a compact version of
the .Net framework and a mobile version of SQL server to deliver more
applications without creating a memory shortage. "By building those things
into the platform, you can have a lightweight application in terms of memory
with all the features built in," he said.
Mobile 6 also allows customers to add customer relationship management
applications and other third-party business tools. And a new security policy included with the new client allows users to wipe
their devices on their own if they lose them.
"A lot of IT departments are busy, or people are embarrassed to say they
lost their device, so this way people can go in and self-administer,"
Starkweather said.
He also noted that the new client allows customers to view e-mail
in HTML format, including e-mail from Web-based and POP mail servers, which
means customers can read embedded charts and click on live links to
documents located on SharePoint servers.
Will this be enough to crack the enterprise nut?
According to Zeus Kerravala, an analyst with the Yankee Group, Microsoft has
struggled to get traction for its mobile clients in the enterprise space in
large part because the user experience is significantly different from what
customers are used to getting on the desktop.
"They're going to have to close that gap if they're going to become more
relevant in that space," Kerravala told internetnews.com.
Kerravala noted that enterprises have yet to take full advantage of the fact
that wireless access is becoming more and more common. "You can take
advantage of that ubiquitous connectivity to raise people's productivity
during those, what I call 'anytime' times," he said.
Chris Hazelton, who follows the mobile device market for research firm IDC,
said the new ability to edit Office documents will be important to mobile
workers.

Laksman's Grudge
His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad
Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj
9 October 2019, Kolkata, part 3
We would like to also say a few words about Nityananda Prabhu's mercy and Baladev's mercy, as well as Baladev-tattva.
Laksman always worships Ramachandra, Laksman always serves Ramachandra, that is why he thought, "If my master is going to the forest, what will I stay here for? I must go to the forest too—for the service of my worshippable Ramachandra." Dasarath had not punished or exiled Laksman, he went to the forest of his own accord. Moreover, Ramachandra could have also fought His mother (and then Ramayan would not have happened)—Ramachandra could have asserted His rights, "No, I am the elder son, so I must get the position of the king. I want to be the king!" He could have done this, but no, the Lord Himself showed that Ramachandra had left His chair and went to the forest because He was obedient to His father's order ("My father is My guru, so it is all right, I will follow his instruction—My father says I must go to the forest, I will go to the forest."). Ramachandra did not avoid His exile—He followed what His father had told him.
One time, Laksman asked Ramachandra, "Why must Sita Devi go to the forest to Valmiki's ashram? Why?!" (She had to go because Ramachandra gave His instruction at that time, and Sita Devi had to follow it.) Ramachandra explained to Laksman, "You know what I have appeared in this world for, you know what I have come to this world for—to follow the rules and regulations strictly. I am law-abiding (maryada-purush)." Laksman was very sad about it because he served Ramachandra and he served Sita Devi too. On top of that, do you know what kind of order Ramachandra gave to him? Ramachandra told Laksman, "Sita Devi cannot go to the ashram alone, she does not know where it is, so you can take her! Take her there and come back." Do you see? Sita Devi was crying so much, and Laksman could not bear the thought of doing it, but because Ramachandara is his worshippable Lord and elder brother—and a younger brother always follows his elder brother's order, that is the niti (moral standard)—he had to take her to Valmiki's ashram. But Laksman could not forget the kind of pain he got at that time. He felt so much pain receiving this very heavy order. He told Ramachandra, "I will do what You are saying, but when You come in Dvapar-yuga, You will become Krishna, and I will also come with You—but this time I will not come as Your younger brother! I will be the elder brother, and this time You will always bow to me and follow my instruction!" That is Baladev. Laksman said, "I have become younger now and You sometimes give me nasty and very difficult orders and I cannot go against You, but in Dvapar yuga, I will come as Your elder brother!"
