Patty Jenkins Is Free to Tell the Story She Wants To Tell With Rogue Squadron
Discussion in 'SWNN News Feed' started by SWNN Probe, Jul 5, 2021.

Patty Jenkins is tasked with the responsibility of directing the first Star Wars movie after Lucasfilm concluded the episodic saga with The Rise of Skywalker. Rogue Squadron is set to hit theaters in December 2023, and the director briefly talked about her experience so far working in a galaxy far, far away as well as her level of creative control on the film.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jenkins was asked about how the development of Rogue Squadron is going. Jenkins Star Wars film was announced in a video, which involved her talking about her family's history of fighter pilots, most specifically her Father. Jenkins proceeds to suit up in a very familiar orange jumpsuit, put on an X-wing fighter pilot helmet, and walk toward a T-65 X-wing on a runway. It has been seven months since that announcement, and the director has shed some light on how things are progressing.
It's going amazing. I had been on it already for six months before I even announced that, so we're pretty deep into it. We're finishing a script, crewing up, and it's all going wonderful. I'm so excited about the story and excited that we're the next chapter of Star Wars, which is such a responsibility and such an opportunity to really start some new things. It's really exciting in that way.'
The near-completed script is being written by Matthew Robinson (The Invention of Lying, Edge of Tomorrow, Love and Monsters). There have been no reports or even substantial rumors about potential cast members to this point. Fans often like to speculate in the realm of familiarity, but it remains to be seen whether Chris Pine learns how to lock S-foils in attack position. For now, we have to wait to find out who will star in this next era of Star Wars theatrical films.
Jenkins did reveal that she agreed to terms to direct Rogue Squadron in early summer 2020, so it is very possible that video teaser announcing the project was a part of a bigger announcement for Star Wars Celebration 2020, which was obviously cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Wonder Woman director did delve a bit into the difference in how Star Wars films are made. With a vast and ever-expanding canon of interconnected storytelling, checks and balances are always in place, even when directors are given a full blessing of creative license. So what is working on Star Wars like for Jenkins so far?
...It's an entirely different way of working. I'm on the phone with all of them and doing Zoom meetings with everybody involved in Star Wars all the time. I'm fairly free to do the story that we want to do, but you really need to know who's done what, who's doing what, where it goes and how it works, and what designs have been done before. It's a whole other way of working that I'm getting up to speed on.'
We still have a ways to go before seeing X-wings pierce through the starry canvas of Star Wars across theaters worldwide - as mentioned above - the film is not due out until December 2023. But we should start finding out more details as the project moves closer to production. As always, we will keep you up to date on all information and news about Rogue Squadron and all upcoming Star Wars projects.

After WW84 I'm not so sure anymore... the WW84 trailers were great but the execution was mired in a campy take. I hope she does a better job with this since I read the books growing up... has she read any of the Star Wars X-Wing Legends books? Does she know who Michael A. Stackpole, and R.I.P. Aaron Allston are?

I liked WW84 more than most it seems, and my favourite scene from that (the one
in the Jet
) makes me quite excited for this (as if I wouldn't be anyway).

I enjoyed WW84 well enough. It was campy, but that was kinda the point, right? Like, I can get how it didn't land well for everyone, but it's not like that's just Jenkin's raw style or anything.
I'm really interested in what a Rogue Squadron movie could bring. Definitely hoping for some gritty, immersive, in the cockpit action. Rogue One was pretty cool, but I'd really like to see most of the character action driven from in-flight conversation, rather than stuff back at base.
Really, it'd be fascinating if every single scene took place on a flight mission. I feel like that's basically what the N64 game did, and that had pretty good character development for that era.

Good any writer or director should be able to tell the story they want especially if it's a single movie. Not in a series

People keep bringing up WW'84 as a reason to be unsure about this film but why should that stain the director and all future films? People suddenly forget about Monster (an award winning biopic drama) and the first Wonder Woman film, which was highly praised and successful!?
Wonder Woman'84 disappointed most fans but it didn't bomb at the box office and was highly successful as a streaming film on HBO Max and it's not among the worst cbm of all time on the list for most hardcore fans. It's not even considered to be the worst DCEU film. It disappointed critics but it ain't like a super flop on rotten tomatoes either!
People also forget this film depends on actors, producers and writers than simply Paty Jenkins!

To all of those worried about this movie because of WW84, I understand. WW84 was far from my favorite DC movie, and definitely not my favorite of the two WW movies. Heck, I retooled it in my review! But I implore that you remember that Jenkins is still has two great movies in Monster and the first Wonder Woman movie. She's 2-for-3. If those were betting odds, they wouldn't be too terrible; so let's bet on her making it 3-for-4!

Agreed, but with caveats. The first being that you have to know where you're telling the story. Think of it like cooking - you're not going to bring curry to a BBQ cookout* or ramen to a tea party.
Likewise, while Jenkins should of course be able to tell the story she wants, she should also be aware that this may spin off into a series (if successful enough), or that the characters may show up elsewhere down the line; which is an almost-given outcome, considering that she's working in a franchise that has a history of doing exactly that: Maul in TCW, Rebels, and Solo; Poe in Resistance, Saw Gerrera in virtually everything Pre-R1 that's come out since, Ahsoka in Rebels and The Mandalorian, etc. Patty isn't just telling a story, she's giving life to part of a universe. This will have ramifications, and to be unaware of that fact or what they may be** is nothing short of negligent in my mind.
*I...may have done that exact thing on Monday. But I had good reason to do so, and the express permission from the hosts.
**Not everything will be to be predicted, but getting ahead of it can only help.

Slightly tangental comparison, but given what I've seen of Top Gun: Maverick's flight scenes, that's the kind of energy I'd love to see in a Rogue Squadron flick
#9 Lazarus Dei, Jul 7, 2021
Personally, I'm not particularly interested in sick dogfight action, but I'm very hyped to learn what the story in this one is actually going to be about! Will a new galactic threat/conflict start to emerge, or will this film "only" be about top gun pilots putting down some local pirates or whatever?
My prediction, based on nothing at all, is that RS will be small-scale with a localized problem in some distant corner of the Republic. The framing story will be local gov needing help from the Rep to fight off some criminals harrassing the place. Possibly remnant FO forces (Moff Gideon-style) or gangsters exploiting the power vaccum left by the FO. Meanwhile, the central story is in-squadron rivalries and post-FO issues with certain characters/factions having fought on the FO side during the war. There won't be any legacy/ST-main characters, except possibly for some cameo set-up/continuity stuff.
RS, I bet, is gonna be small and personal, and will NOT actually kick-off the next era of SW as much as explore some leftover FO tensions. This will, in short, be a self-contained anthology movie akin to S:ASWS.
That's my two credits, anyway

Personally, I don't like Patty's directing style. She likes to move the camera too much and overuse cgi, 2 things I don't want in SW movies.
I prefer Kathryn Bigelow, Kelly Reichardt or Lulu Wang but I guess they don't have the blockbuster profile.
Or Deborah Chow and Bryce Dallas Howard, who they did and incredible job in TM.
Only this statement gives me some hope that she will adapt her style into SW Universe.
"It's an entirely different way of working. I'm on the phone with all of them and doing Zoom meetings with everybody involved in Star Wars all the time. I'm fairly free to do the story that we want to do, but you really need to know who's done what, who's doing what, where it goes and how it works, and what designs have been done before. It's a whole other way of working that I'm getting up to speed on."

MandoChip Hate me later. Work now.
I like WW, but WW84 might be one of the crappest movies I've seen...so I really don't know what to expect, hopefully it's good.
#12 MandoChip, Jul 7, 2021
I must say, I enjoyed watching the campy WW TV show back in the '70s, I own the Batman campy TV show on Blu-ray, but I thought the Batman and Robin movie 1997 by Joel Schumacher RIP, btw, was evidence that mostly no one likes campy super hero flicks anymore.
Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy also proved that campy is so out, Snyder's Cut... anyone? So WW84 was a complete disappointment for me. It reminded me of Batman and Robin '97.
Pedro Pascal's portrayal of Maxwell Lord I must say again reminded me of Batman and Robin '97, and worst of all since I used to collect DC's Wonder Woman comic book I really looked forward to a live action Cheetah. Cheetah is WW's Joker... and Wonder Woman's Gold outfit in live action OMFG, ANYWHO...
I hope Patty Jenkins does a great job with Rogue Squadron.

Q: Issues resetting git head After working on my project and making a few commits, I decided to push and be done for a bit. However, an error occurred somewhere during the process and the project ended up getting severely messed up, with the majority of my changes being eliminated. I tried to reset the project to the latest commit I made using:
git reset --hard b91ca10fdfc96ddd0e2aba09b7861117a6bdc17e

I then got the message that the HEAD had been reset to this commit. However, when I open the project my changes have not returned. The project is Xcode written is Swift. Any help is greatly appreciated, I would really like to avoid rewriting a massive amount of code.

A: Since I am not aware of your git project status, here's few thought.

*

*Do git log and check what is your last commit. Also do git status to be sure nothing is in working copy

*Try git cat-file commit b91ca10fdfc96ddd0e2aba09b7861117a6bdc17e. If it errors out it means that the shah isn't available.

*If step 2 results in a commit then, try git checkout b91ca10fdfc96ddd0e2aba09b7861117a6bdc17e. It should switch you to that commit. You can later rename this branch.

Last week I was in North Carolina, crawling on my hands and knees, covered in briar scratches, trying to find my grandma.
I don't mean actually find her. I know where she is. She's buried in North Dakota in a shady cemetery next to my grandfather. But I was looking for the woman who had lived.
Grandma Lottie Mae was born and raised in rural North Carolina. She met my grandfather during the war and he swept her away to North Dakota where she traded in collard greens for Jell-O salad. She died young, just a year before I was born.
As a kid I would sit in my grandpa's attic and try on Grandma's fancy hats, now gathering dust in the corner. I would pour over photos of her, longing for a connection. Grandma Lottie Mae had been a legend in my tiny town with her thick southern drawl, her fried chicken, and her warm smile – I wished so badly that I had known her.
Over the last few years I've been working on a family history of her side of the family. After a few dead-ends, I decided I needed to go to North Carolina.
With my dad and aunt in tow, I headed down south, hoping that by touching the graves of Grandma's parents, or standing in front of the house she grew up in, I would somehow feel a little closer to the woman I've been chasing for thirty-three years.
I was definitely not in L.A. anymore.
Every day we drove around looking for abandoned gravesites and taking photos in front of old houses – on a quest to get my hands on as much tangible evidence of my Grandma as I could.
When I told one of my grandma's last surviving nieces I was looking for stories about Lottie Mae she smiled and said she knew exactly where to take me.
We drove through the back-country of North Carolina, a place riddled with bogs and trees so thick you couldn't see through them, until we got to the house of Shelvie Jean – my Grandma's other surviving niece. She welcomed us with a warm drawl and a tight hug. We sat on her couch as she told us stories and pulled out pictures. The longer we stayed, the happier I felt and something calmed down inside of me.
The next day we picked up Shelvie Jean as we searched for more history. She laughed as I tore through briar patches looking for headstones, telling me I was just like my Grandma. I felt that same calm as the night before, spreading deeper into my heart.
That night my phone rang. It was Shelvie Jean. We were leaving the next day and she wanted to say goodbye.
She was right. Everything was different.
I had been trying to reach my grandma through gravestones and houses and hats I'd put on in a dusty old attic. But where I'd actually found her was in people like Shelvie Jean.
People she had known and loved. People who loved me too.
And I didn't need a photo to tell me that.

Dennis Morris
Morris' recent exhibition at the ICA by Mark Blower
Words by: Tom Watson
Some photographs boast the capacity to capture more than just a moment in time. Some even yield an infinite power to encapsulate an entire culture in a single frame. Photographer Dennis Morris owns an uncanny knack in capturing a sense of reality in his subjects; finding the 'person behind the persona'. His portfolio includes epochal images of the likes of Bob Marley, The Sex Pistols, the Stone Roses and Marianne Faithful.
Over four decades, Morris' contribution to concept design and album artwork has influenced the music industry's approach to artistic branding and the creative direction of music distribution. As Virgin Records' go-to photo journalist, he also conspired alongside John Lydon in designing the abrasive aesthetic of Public Image Ltd.'s Metal Box album sleeve and the PiL logo. Morris recently opened his retrospective at London's ICA, which exhibits images documenting PiL's early stages, including the legendary trip to Jamaica he made with Lydon and Virgin boss Richard Branson.
It's early morning when Morris answers the phone. He's ineffably welcoming yet exasperated when addressing his spiky relationship with Lydon. Between these bristly segments, Morris also touches on the exhibition, PiL and his malaise over today's artist being stifled of creative freedom.
Pil's Metal Box artwork co-created by Morris and Jon Lydon
Morning Dennis, how's the exhibition going?
The exhibition is going extremely well. I think a lot of people have been taken aback by the exhibit's content. Over time, those images became iconic. But I think people are only starting to realise that now. I started collating PIL's archival shots over the period of a year. The general idea came from looking back over pictures taken during a trip to Jamaica in 1978 with John [Lydon] and Richard [Branson]. I'd say this trip was one of the biggest influences for what would later be Public Image Ltd. It was a huge influence for John in terms of incorporating dub aspects in to the group's sound.
Do you find yourself in a curious state of nostalgia when collating these retrospectives?
Retrospectives always bring back memories. It's a bit of a journey. I think when people review my work they get more of an insight into how the music was formed and the mind of the subject being photographed. For this collection, I realised that I didn't just create pieces that were visually striking. I created something that has a deeper meaning than just an image to observe. And people seem to be getting that connection.

With Public Image Limited's inception, was there any challenge in establishing the group's identity considering John's public image lingering from his time in the Sex Pistols?
Throughout my career, I've been left to my own devices. I've always been able to work directly with the artists and hone their visual output. Just before PiL formed, I knew that John wanted to bury the image of punk. That was how he was perceived by everyone. I wouldn't say it was an easy feat but he gave me an open license to experiment with his persona. He made himself a blank canvas. No restrictions. No 'it can only be this or that'. I was the architect of John's persona. So I built it.
Don Letts said 'Jamaicans love a bad man and they saw that in Lydon' – what do you think Don was referring to?
When we arrived in Jamaica, there was a group of Rastas that noticed John and started shouting out "John mon, God Save the Queen mon." Jamaica was going through a very rebellious period. Youth culture was being defined through Bob Marley and protest music. Obviously, the worldwide press of The Sex Pistols went international. The Rastas knew Johnny Rotten and identified with that rebellious side of him. But John could never be a 'bad man' in Jamaican terms. In Jamaica, it's the real deal. Kids from a very young age are free armed. They've got nothing to lose. But he loved that they could identify with his rebellious nature.
Did you ever get to hear the unreleased Lee "Scratch" Perry version of Submission?
No, no one ever did. I was even in the studio at the time. If my memory serves me, Scratch didn't take particularly to John. Not that he disliked him but it takes more than just your reputation for Lee Perry to agree to work with you. There was no animosity between them but it wasn't the right vibe. He's a very cosmic person.
How did you find producing PiL's infamous 1978 show at the Rainbow Theatre? You mentioned it was chaotic.
It was on Christmas Day. We were basically changing history and forging the way for what was to come. The practice of self-promotion, for example, was the forerunner for Stone Roses doing Spike Island. To be totally honest, the only people who knew what they were doing was the road crew. There we were running around like kids and in charge of one of the most hallowed gig venues. In the same way that Spike Island was an amazing event but an absolute disaster musically, the Rainbow gig was not that great but as an event it was groundbreaking.
But hardly anyone ever got paid during this time. How did you manage to sustain your career?
Quite simply, when you're an artist you create without being paid. No one forced me to be anywhere. I was with The Sex Pistols 24/7 because I knew it was an opportunity. No one was showing me how to take pictures or when to take pictures. That was Malcolm McLaren's attitude too. If you were smart you knew there was something in it for you. He was an incredible person… John is forever bickering that he got ripped off by Malcolm. But Malcolm never spent a penny on himself. Instead, he used the money to design punk artwork and posters, which John is still peddling today. It all came from Malcolm. There would be nothing to sell without him. And without me, there would be no photographs. So I wish John would just get on with it. He did the same thing to Vivienne (Westwood). She's gone from strength to strength. John says she's talentless. Come on. She's gone on to make multi-fucking-millions. What the hell has he done? Stop bitching and come up with another album we can all rave about.
I take it that recent communication between the two of you is minimal in that case?
John's biggest problem is that he's a very talented individual with great potential but is incapable of working with other people. As soon as he gets a chance, he screws everybody over. He did it with Ginger Baker. He did it with Afrika Bambaataa. And he did it with Leftfield. He's just one of those kind of people. I really have a lot of respect for him, but he's a very selfish individual.
Moving on, there was a brutal physicality to Metal Box's packaging, one that helped in defining PiL's abrasive identity. Is the strength of 'branding' in art today neglected?
Artists today have no control and are too afraid to have any say over their art. record companies seem to dictate what their roster can and can't do. But the big business mindset of a record company cannot make an artist. The only thing a record company can do is sell a product. Once an artist starts to believe that their art is indebted to their label, that's their death toll. And 'Joe Public' isn't that stupid either. They know if they've bought it once they're not going to buy the same old shit again. They crave originality. It's sad. A lot of artists have zero control over their own destinies.
So are we returning to the sort of social and political apathy felt during PiL's short lived career?
We're living in a nanny state. Creativity is gone. I believe in the very basic instinct which is before we learned how to speak and write, everything was about gut feeling. If you look through the history of creation, everything came through a gut feeling. Every invention, piece of art or whatever it may be happened through gut feeling. Once you lose that feeling of your inner senses and inner feelings, you become cold and then there will be no innovation left in the world. It's as simple as that.

A curious emptiness permeates the work of Chris Ballantyne. Banal features of suburban and industrial zones are sources for paintings that highlight the quirky and absurd. Graphically rendered buildings, pools, parking lots, and fences take on new meanings and amplified significance, isolated on flat fields of color.
Dysfunctional structures are flawless in their strangeness, made beautiful through symmetry, simplified lines and flat, subdued colors. Ballantyne eliminates detail to emphasize the subtleties of the way we experience space and our attempts at containment. He extends these concepts further by expanding the imagery of his paintings beyond the picture plane and onto the surrounding walls. With shrewd restraint, Ballantyne accentuates the antisocial effects of our built environment with a hint of humor and plenty of ambiguity.
Chris Ballantyne (b. 1972, Mobile , Alabama), received his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and resides in Brooklyn. He was included in the 2006 California Biennial at the Orange County Museum of Art, and Bay Area Now at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, in 2005. His work is in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.


This is less of a recipe and more of a PSA about some of the health benefits of Chinese chrysanthemum tea. I'm no expert or in any way technicallyyy qualified to give health advice, but I was once a very very grumpy chrysanthemum tea drinker and have since become a pretty strong and zen believer in its abilities to ward off various ailments!
Chrysanthemum tea is said to have a host of health benefit, and it has definitely become my go-to when I'm feeling under the weather. It may help you reduce inflammation, serve as a good source of vitamins A and C, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol. In particular, inflammation is a huge culprit of a lot of the standard ailments I deal with in my day-to-day––ranging from minor annoyance to full-on conditions that take me out of the game for a few days.
In Chinese medicine, inflammation is associated with being "too hot" or having too much "heat" in terms of your body's overall physical balance. This can manifest in a multitude of ways, from dry mouth to skin breakouts. Fried foods (Fried wontons, anyone?), grilled foods (Yang Rou Chuan–who can resist!) and spicy foods (mmm…Spicy Beef Noodle Soup) are said to cause this internal "overheating" effect in Chinese medicine, and I've found that chrysanthemum tea is a great agent for rebalancing the body.
I could go into even more depth about the medical aspects of Chinese chrysanthemum tea and what it can do for you, but Chinese tradition dictates that some sort of matriarch from on high just boss you around, offering cryptic home remedies (looking at my mother, right now).
In China, chrysanthemum tea is commonly accepted as a great health drink for its cooling and calming effect, to the point that people from all walks of life can be found chugging it by the thermos-full throughout the day. You'll see big thermoses on young white collar workers' desks, in the cupholder of your taxi driver's car, and toted around by old grandmas in the street. While chrysanthemum tea has worked wonders for me, my mom always warns me against drinking too much of it, as *apparently* otherwise my inner Qi will become too cool. I know all the Chinese moms out there mean well, but it's literally always hot-cold, hot-cold with this stuff, amiright?
In terms of the taste? Well. When people see me drinking chrysanthemum tea and ask me what what it tastes like, suffice it to say that it tastes just how you think it would taste: like dried flowers. Adding a bit of sugar or honey can improve the taste if you prefer! But I find the flavor to be incredibly pleasant when eating strongly flavored Chinese dishes with lots of spice, and it takes on a richer herbal flavor the longer it steeps. It can also have a more subtle flavor the more times you refill the teapot with hot water. Serve it with ice in the summer, and it will have you feeling cool and calm in no time.
Plus, with so many different kinds of chrysanthemum teas, feel free to experiment! In this post, we're showcasing a more standard variety and a very small variety that uses tiny flower buds. Try to look for closed or half opened flower buds when purchasing your tea, as fully opened flowers (while pretty) have already lost much of the flavors and effectiveness!
We hope you give chrysanthemum tea a try! It may just be nature's elixir for whatever problem you've currently got.
Place your tea in a teabag or tea strainer of your choice. Due to the nature of this tea, the petals can really get in the way of your drinking experience, so best to tie up the tea in a tea bag or cheesecloth, grab a tea strainer, or use a teapot with a built-in strainer.
Boil 3 cups of water, and pour over the tea. Let steep for 3 – 5 minutes.
You can continue to add water to the tea for 2-3 more batches of tea. The chrysanthemums have a strong and persistent flavor. Many people can use a single serving of chrysanthemums for the whole day!
Enjoy a nice pot of chrysanthemum tea today!
Chrysanthemum tea can be made like any other loose-leaf tea. Just make sure to use a tea strainer or tea bag to keep the flower petals from getting into your cup!
Boil 3 cups of water, and pour over the tea. Let steep for 3 - 5 minutes. You can continue to add water to the tea for 2-3 more batches of tea. The chrysanthemums have a strong and persistent flavor. Many people can use a single serving of chrysanthemums for the whole day!
I love your writing style. This article was fun & inspirational. I'll totally try chrysanthemum tea!
Very nice blog! Nice writing style, tastefully done photos! My hats off to you and your family for sharing your traditions and the "birth" of your blog history.
I love to read recipes of easy, natural and traditional customs. Unfortunately, I'm not one to tolerate spicy foods. If I may ask, when possible and without sacrificing flavor, can you include in the recipe what to omit and substitute for people like myself. ??
Hi Julio, this is a great tea to have regularly if you live in hot and humid climates.
Where can I buy good organic chrysanthemum tea at a reasonable price?

MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — If you've driven along I-65 this year, you may have noticed the annual light show at Hank Aaron stadium isn't there.
It's a family tradition for many to head over to Hank Aaron Stadium and drive through the light show synced to music. But this year, the stadium's parking lot is dark.
Normally, the parking lot of Hank Aaron Stadium would be bustling, filled with cars and music as families looked on at the Christmas Nights in Lights drive-through show.
Coldest, hottest Christmases ever recorded in Mobile
"We normally take the grandkids there and see it. I like seeing it on the way to work myself, so I mean I was just wondering what was going on with it," said Darnisha Matthews, a customer of Christmas Nights in Lights.
Mobile Sports and Entertainment Group took over managing the property in 2019 and has had the light show now for four years.
But instead of the show returning to the Port City, they had to pull it from Mobile after the city announced earlier this year that its 26-year contract with the property owners at Hank Aaron stadium was null and void.
"We had to make quick decisions on our light shows, our Thriller Nights of Lights, and our Christmas Nights of Lights, and unfortunately we couldn't secure a location in Mobile quick enough, so we found the next best thing wherever we could find it," said Ari Rosenbaum, President and managing partner with Mobile Sports and Entertainment Group.
The show is currently at Dezerland in Orlando, near Universal Studios.
"It is very unfortunate of course, our hometown is Mobile, so we're very sad about having to leave for this year too," said Rosenbaum.
Mobile Sports and Entertainment Group still is based in Mobile, they have an office and a large warehouse where they maintain the lights, make repairs and build new sets. But had to take the show on the road to stay in business.
"The Hank was always the center point of why we got into this in the first place. And it's unfortunate to see it sitting there empty with nothing going on at the Hank. So it's been a tough transition and everything happened so quickly, and we were in a position where we really couldn't plan anything and plan a transition into anything other than a light show business because that was our biggest event," said Rosenbaum.
Many hope to see the show light up the Port City once again.
"They need it for the kids, not only the kids but the adults too," said Matthews.
Mobile Sports and Entertainment Group says they are hoping to bring the show back to Mobile next year, but they are still looking for the right location and space.

Memorials and Monuments
Tamworth is home to a number of memorials and monuments that give insight to the war history of the region and the nation. Tamworth RSL Sub-branch on Bridge St can provide more details on war memorials and monuments in the area or visit their website.
ANZAC Park
Enter ANZAC Park from the Brisbane Street side and you'll pass through the ANZAC Park Memorial Gates. They honour the memory of 194 young men from the area who gave their lives in WWI.
Just beyond the gates is the Sandakan Memorial, a scale model in bronze, showing the terrain of the Sandakan death marches in Borneo during WWII. Three plaques list the 150 northern NSW enlisted men who died in the marches, and a fourth plaque tells the story of the Sandakan tragedy
Man-O-War Gates
Two impressive metal gates stand at the entrance to the World War II Memorial in Bicentennial Park The Man-O-War Gates originally stood over the Man O' War steps at the naval jetty at Farm Cove, Sydney Harbour. For over 150 years, these steps served as a landing and embarkation point for Australian and British sailors in peacetime and war. Through these gates, Royal Australian Navy officers and sailors left to serve their country in conflicts from the Boer to Vietnam wars.
The gates were brought to the region by Graham Diamond and in August 1995 they were donated to the local Tamworth RSL sub-branch. The memorial gates are dedicated to the men and women of the Royal Australian Navy and were unveiled on 9 February 1997 by Major General "Digger" James, the national president of the RSL
Memorial to the Australian Light Horse
A tribute to the men of the ANZAC corps who served in the Boer, Sudan and First World wars, the Waler Light Horse memorial statue is located in Tamworth's Bicentennial Park and depicts an Australian World War I trooper saying farewell to his Waler horse in the deserts of the Middle East.
Between 1861 and 1931 approximately 500,000 horses were exported from Australia to the Indian Army, the Boer War and Egypt with The Australian Light Horse as remounts. Of these horses only one returned, a gelding Sandy belonging to Major General Sir William Bridges. The Trooper's uniform and the military saddler on the horse are based on original WW1 equipment. Designed and sculpted by talented artist, Tanya Bartlett of Newcastle, NSW, the bronze memorial was unveiled and dedicated on 29 October 2005 by well-known and respected, retired Army Major General WB Digger James AC, MBE, MC. The monument is a feature of ANZAC Day ceremonies and other army commemorative services.
The 'Waler Horse' was so named because by far the largest number came from New South Wales
The Waler Horse carried it's trooper and up to 130kg of equipment, rations and ammunition
It derived it's heritage from the stock horses used on cattle and sheep stations
The Waler Horse is known for it's temperament, durability and ability to cope with terrible conditions and situations in times of battle
The Australian horses sent to war earned the respect of soldiers around the world
Railway War Memorial Park
Located in Marius Street, between Brisbane & Bourke Streets, the Railway War Memorial Park (part of Tamworth Railway Station) houses war memorials honouring: those who fought for the Empire in the South African War of 1899-1902; the Korea, Malaya and Borneo Memorial to those who served in the Korean War and the conflicts in Malaya and Borneo; the Vietnam Memorial to commemorate those who served in the Vietnam War; and the National Servicemen's Memorial, which honours those who undertook national service in the Australian Defence Forces from 1951-1972.
Gipps Street Memorial Avenue of Honour
The Gipps Street Memorial Avenue of Honour was erected by Tamworth RSL Sub-branch in memory of the men and women who suffered and died for their country
Bridge Street Memorial
The Bridge Street Memorial is dedicated to all who served Australia in war, and was the site of ANZAC Day services for many years.
Royal Australian Air Force Memorial
The industrial area of Tamworth - Taminda - was originally home to the aerodrome and Sixth Elementary Flying School, where trainee pilots learned how to fly Tiger Moths during the WWII years. It is now home to the Royal Australian Air Force Memorial, located in Barnes Street, Taminda.
2/30th Infantry Battalion – 8 Division AIF Memorial
The 2/30th Infantry Battalion – 8 Division AIF Memorial on Showground Road, Taminda, was built on the location of the army camp that housed over 100 men during World War I.
H.M.A.S Tamworth
The anchor belonging to the HMAS Tamworth is installed in Bicentennial Park in Tamworth as a memorial to the men who served on her between 1942 and 1946.
The anchor was erected by the Rotary Club of Tamworth West on the 100th anniversary of the Royal Australian Navy on 10 July 2011.
HMAS Tamworth was one of 60 Bathurst class corvettes constructed during World War II and one of 20 built on Admiralty order but manned by personnel of and later commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).
Tamworth was commissioned at Maryborough on 8 August 1942. Tamworth was paid off at Sydney on 30 April 1946, having steamed over 125,000 miles. On the same day she was transferred to the Royal Netherlands Navy and renamed "Tidore"
In December 1949 the ship was transferred to the Indonesian Navy and renamed "Pati Unus". She was disposed of in 1969.
RSL Tamworth Sub Branch
The Returned and Services League of Australia New South Wales Branch (RSL NSW) was formed in 1917 and currently has 40,780 members in 350 sub-Branches throughout New South Wales.

Stream Data Centers Achieves PCI DSS Certification
Stream Data Centers, a provider of build-to-suit data centers and colocation facilities, has announced the inclusion of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Certification version 3.2 to its menu of industry-compliant certifications and services.
Author: Koen Stegeman
Stream Data Centers, a provider of build-to-suit data centers and colocation facilities, has announced the inclusion of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Certification version 3.2 to its menu of industry-compliant certifications and services. PCI DSS is a comprehensive set of standards requiring service providers that store, process, or transmit customer payment card data to adhere to strict information security controls and processes.
"Stream Data Centers designs its facilities to comply with rigorous standards set by trade groups and certifying organizations while maintaining relevant certifications and attestations," said Stewart Collier, Managing Director of Stream Data Centers' Critical Environments Services and operations practice. "For Stream, it's all about maximizing uptime and value, without compromising health, safety, and security. Our Stream Data Centers Critical Environments Services practice is dedicated to continually improving and maintaining compliance certifications that are critical to our data center customers."
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was created to meet the rising threat to individuals' payment card information. Compliance with PCI DSS is mandatory for all organizations dealing with credit, debit and ATM cards, as defined by the PCI Security Standards Council, which includes industry giants like Visa, Master Card and American Express.
The PCI DSS standard includes twelve requirements that include the following:
User access management
Network and systems monitoring
"Applicability of this attestation is for physical security and management processes that govern access to customer equipment – all through security systems, policies, and procedures," added Mr. Collier.
The certification is now active for facilities in San Antonio, Minneapolis, and Houston, with plans for Stream Data Centers to apply the PCI DSS ethos to design and operations of developments in DFW, Chicago, and all data centers going forward.

There was an exchange in the House of Lords yesterday, following a question by Lord Kirkwood, which gives an update on where the Government is regarding its promise to end child detention. It follows calls that there must be swift action, and that the process must not get bogged down in civil service bureaucracy.
1. As we knew, there is a review going on.
2. The Government is not yet setting a timetable.
3. We can expect an announcement with more detail in the next few weeks.
4. They are refusing to guarantee that it will happen before the autumn.
5. When the plans are announced, they won't involve families being split up.
To ask Her Majesty's Government when they will end the detention of children for immigration purposes.
The Minister of State, Home Office (Baroness Neville-Jones): My Lords, the Government are committed to ending the detention of children for immigration purposes. My honourable friend the Minister of State for Immigration is heading a review on the way forward, which aims to protect the welfare of children while ensuring the removal of those who have no right to be in the UK. He will set out the way forward as soon as possible: certainly in the coming weeks. Currently, I might add, there is one family with two children in immigration detention.
Lord Kirkwood of Kirkhope: My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for that reply, and I welcome her to her new high ministerial office and wish her well for the future. When does she expect to be able to end child detention for immigration purposes? Does she not agree that it would be a signal success for the new Government if there could be an early announcement that ended the practice? Is there any chance of her being able to do that sensibly before the House rises for the Summer Recess?
Baroness Neville-Jones: My Lords, I thank the noble Lord very much for his kind words. I certainly agree that we want to progress this as rapidly as possible. I cannot unfortunately give him a deadline today, but I hope that my honourable friend in the other House will have more details really quite shortly. At the moment, we are working with various charities and NGOs that will help us to find solutions so that we can come forward with something that is not just process but that incorporates a solution. We will do that as rapidly as we can. The noble Lord is quite right that we need to end this as soon as possible.
Lord Dubs: My Lords, many of us who have argued for years that children should not be detained under immigration powers will welcome what the Government appear to want to do. Will the Minister confirm, however, that ending the detention of children must mean that families - parents as well as the children - will no longer be detained? If it does not, this will involve separating children from their families, which would be a retrograde step.
Baroness Neville-Jones: We certainly aim not to separate families from children or children from families. The noble Lord is quite right, and I think the House would agree, that this is not an ideal form of detention. I cannot say categorically how we will work it out, but the aim is certainly to keep families together.
Lord Ramsbotham: My Lords, I welcome the Minister to her position. While I welcome the statement about ending the detention of children, will the review consider the position of another group of children who are held in detention? I refer to the hundreds of independent juvenile asylum seekers who are currently being held in social services care around the country. There is a real need to look at the consistency of their treatment and conditions because those differ widely in different parts of the country.
Baroness Neville-Jones: The noble Lord makes a very important point. I am aware that children who are not in immigration detention and who are unaccompanied are indeed with local authorities. I will take back his point about the inconsistency of treatment and report back to the House.
Baroness Finlay of Llandaff: My Lords, I, too, congratulate the noble Baroness. Is consideration being given in the review to the bereavement needs of children, given that many children who come here as asylum seekers, or indeed for other immigration purposes, have often undergone traumatic bereavements? The incidence of severe bereavement reactions among these children is particularly high, and lack of attention to that in the processes to which they are subjected may make their experiences worse.
Baroness Neville-Jones:The noble Baroness makes an important point. All I can say at the present stage is that in the guidelines that we agree consideration should be given to cases of this kind in which an individual problem needs extra help.
Noble Lords: It is the turn of the Bishops.
The Lord Bishop of Liverpool: My Lords, will the Minister confirm that this is the only category of children who can be detained indefinitely without the oversight of the courts and without ever having committed a crime?
Baroness Neville-Jones: That is the formal case. However, in current circumstances, the average time for which children are being detained is only about 11 days. We are trying to bring that figure down. I pay tribute to the previous Government who did great work in bringing the timescale of these detentions down. I entirely agree that it is a problem. We are trying to make the system as humane as possible.
Lord Avebury: My Lords, perhaps I may ask my noble friend about the consultations which on 12 May Mr Damian Green said had already started. Stakeholders, such as the Children's Society, do not seem to be aware of that. Is it the intention to complete the consultation in six weeks, as we have heard? Will that be in time for them to incorporate any necessary amendments to the Secretary of State's powers to look after these children under alternative arrangements in the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act which will come before your Lordships?
Baroness Neville-Jones: My Lords, I will look into that point. I cannot give the noble Lord a definitive answer. All I can say is that we intend to proceed with this really fast. This review will not take very long. I hope that that timescale can be met.
Lord West of Spithead: My Lords, I, too, congratulate the Minister on her new post. I was delighted to hear her say how well the previous Government had done, which I never thought that I would hear. This shows the complexity of this entire subject. Having been beaten around the Floor of this House again and again by my friends, particularly those who were Liberal Democrats in the past, people are realising how extremely difficult it is. When I looked at this in the past, the difficulty was that one might apply sanctions and restrictions on people that were even worse than having people in detention for a short period. Will the Minister confirm that we will not do that in trying to ensure that we get these sometimes quite cute people who use children as a way of getting around our laws and that we will ensure that we do not put the children in a worse circumstance?
Baroness Neville-Jones: My Lords, I thank the noble Lord for his kind words. The object of the exercise clearly is to alleviate the situation of children and not to make it worse. I take the point that he is making and we will look at it in our discussion of the arrangements with the stakeholders to whom we are talking.

Last week my friend Alex threw a party to celebrate her birthday and end of exams! I had no party dresses left in my wardrobe so ended up going for a simple outfit and accessorized it with a more statement necklace from primark. It has the prettiest pastel colours. I'm also loving this kimono at the moment, I've found so many kimono's are so expensive when they're not that much, but this was just £20 so a bit of a steal really!

oil hit lows in 85 and 88, then bounce up and spiked in 1990.
the drop down from 2014 to the recent low looks eerily similar to the drop from 84 to 88. (back then, from about 30, down to above 10). the last few years from over 100, to under 50.
we should see oil rise a little then spike around the year 2020. but not have any huge sustained rally.
for example , oil had substantial tops around 1950, 1980, and 2010 (give or take a couple years). so we should not see the next massive top until sometime around 2040, (if this pattern holds). after a spike around the year 2020, oil should be stuck in the 50 to 100 range thru most of the 2020's decade.
remember a bigger cycle, can throw this off by many years.
Are you sure you want to delete this post: oil 30 year cycle?

Q: Using scss with ionic I am new to the ionic framework.I had written the code in scss and it is showing some bugs, I had tried to overcome the bugs but i can't.
Below is my scss code:

 }

Is there anyone to help me!!!!

A: https://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/theming/theming-your-app/
You should set the SCSS variables in the theme/variable.scss file when you require global access. All your individual scss files can use it.
    page-home  {}

"page-home" is your scss namespace for your pageHome.html. It is specified in  your component(ts file). All css for that file should be within the namespace.
SCSS tutorial link: http://sass-lang.com/guide

A: There is an error in your SCSS :
page-home
{
    .displayed: ;
}

This will not compile and will throw this error :
Invalid CSS after "{": expected "}", was ".displayed: ;"

When I switch it to :
page-home
{
}

Then it compiles.


Paradise Island, where according to legend, came from the foamsea goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite, has long chosen by Russian travelers. For a couple of decades of Cyprus resorts popular with fans of relaxation and comfort in the European style, which no-no, and want to "break" is not in Schengen.
Classics of the genre - Limassol. Here you'll find most compatriots, there are Russian restaurants, plenty of entertainment for all tastes is offered right on the beach and nightclubs are consistent with the average resort standards. Location Limassol allows you to visit almost all the sights of the island, at a cost equal to the amount of time excursions, water parks and amusement parks will make a noticeable recovery in the small beach everyday tourists.
Larnaca - a resort in Cyprus, where theinternational Airport. Log into the sea at the local beaches and the shallow sandy, and therefore Larnaca willingly choose families with young children. Divers prefer this city because it sank in the bay of the ferry, and older travelers - due to the relative quiet in the evenings.
The exact opposite of Larnaca - Ayia Napa, where,It seems to be on every square meter of land, and even under it opened the night club. Guests of the local hotels sleep off the day on the beach, and at night go to dance together to the nearest disco. The main contingent of travelers - young and middle-aged tourists who do not want to put up with the definition of "medium".
Wealthy travelers prefer resort of Paphos, which justifies its name plenty of expensive restaurants, golf clubs and secluded coves with parked yachts.
In addition to the beaches and the sea, tourists looking for the island of Aphrodite and other pleasant experience, and some prefer the simple life in the fishing villages rather than a room in a comfortable hotel.
The town of Polis is surrounded by groves of almond trees,and most of its residents work in the tobacco fields or engaged in fishing. In the bay of the resort of Cyprus held yachting event, and right on the pier you can buy fresh fish. Where rent rooms in homes of fishermen for the whole summer and enjoy the simple rural life very close to the place where Aphrodite was born from sea foam.

What Are The Planets Made Of?
Our solar system is home to eight different planets that are classified into three different types: rocky planets, gas giants, and ice giants. The four inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are all rocky worlds. Jupiter and Saturn are both gas giants, while the outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are ice giants. Whether a planet is a rocky world, gas giant, or ice giant is dependent upon its composition. What are each of the planets made of?
Image of Mercury. Image credit: NASA
Mercury is the innermost planet of the solar system, orbiting the sun at an average distance of 58-million kilometres. Mercury is also the smallest planet in the solar system with a diameter of 3,031-miles (4,878-kilometres). Despite its small size, however, Mercury is actually the second densest planet in the solar system after the Earth, and this is due to the composition of its core. Mercury possesses a core of iron, a fairly dense material. Interestingly though, relative to Mercury's size, it has the largest iron core of all the inner planets, and it accounts for over 40% of the volume within Mercury's interior. Meanwhile, the surface of Mercury is primarily composed of silicate rock. Scientists estimate that 70% of Mercury is metal, and the remaining 30% is rock.
Image of the planet Venus. Image credit: NASA/ESA
Venus is the closest planet to Earth and the most similar to our world in terms of size and mass. Since Earth and Venus are located so close to each other, they have similar compositions. Venus is believed to have an iron core surrounded by a mantle and crust composed of rock and metal. Unlike Earth, however, the surface of Venus is dominated by volcanic rock. Furthermore, the atmosphere of Venus is significantly different from our world. The Venusian atmosphere is 96% carbon dioxide, which causes the planet to experience a runaway greenhouse effect that creates the highest surface temperatures in the solar system.
Image of planet Earth. Image credit: NASA
Like Mercury and Venus, Earth has a core composed mostly of iron, along with small amounts of nickel and other metals. The surface of our world is dominated by silicate rock. Thus, the Earth has many similarities to the other rocky planets in terms of composition, yet one very unique aspect of our world is its atmosphere. Unlike every other planet in the solar system, the Earth's atmosphere contains high amounts of oxygen. Oxygen makes up 21% of the atmosphere, while nitrogen makes up 78%. The remaining 1% is composed of various other elements and compounds such as argon, carbon dioxide, and methane.
Image of the Red Planet, Mars. Image credit: NASA
Mars is the outermost of the rocky planets, and it is perhaps the most studied planet in the solar system after the Earth. Like the other three rocky planets, Mars has an iron core sounded by a surface of silicate rock, yet there are some unique features of Mars, such as frozen carbon dioxide and monoxide at its poles. The atmosphere of Mars is around 90% carbon dioxide, yet the atmosphere itself is too thin to induce any kind of significant greenhouse effect, and so the surface remains bitterly cold.
Image of Jupiter taken by Hubble. Image credit: NASA/ESA
Jupiter is the largest, most massive planet in the solar system. Despite its large size, its composition is rather simple. Jupiter is primarily composed of just two elements: hydrogen and helium, along with trace amounts of other chemicals such as water, sulfur, methane, and ammonia. Around 90% of Jupiter is hydrogen, while the remaining 10% is almost entirely helium. However, although other chemicals only exist in minuscule amounts, they do play a significant role. For example, sulfur and organic compounds are believed to be the reason behind various shades of red in Jupiter's atmosphere. Although hydrogen makes up most of Jupiter's composition, not all of it comes in the same form. Deep below the upper cloud layers of Jupiter, pressures and temperatures become so high that hydrogen becomes a metallic liquid. This layer of liquid metallic hydrogen is able to conduct electricity, which in turn generates the magnetic field of Jupiter, which is the largest of all the planets.

Saturn is very similar to Jupiter in terms of composition. Like Jupiter, Saturn is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, along with trace amounts of other chemicals. Despite its nearly identical composition, however, Saturn looks significantly different than Jupiter, almost as if it's a watered down version of Jupiter. This is likely due to the fact that Saturn is located much further from the sun. It is also likely due to the presence of a layer of ammonia ice crystals in the planet's upper atmosphere.
Uranus And Neptune

Like Jupiter and Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are both primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. However, the two outermost planets are somewhat different in terms of composition. Hydrogen and helium are not as abundant on Uranus and Neptune, and there is a higher presence of other chemicals. Interestingly, the densities of Uranus and Neptune are primarily determined by the existence of various ices in their atmospheres, and so rather than being classified as gas giants, they are classified as ice giants. Uranus and Neptune both contain higher amounts of methane, ammonia, and water. In fact, the presence of methane is believed to be the cause of both Uranus and Neptune being blue.

Several Libya residents confirmed they could not access Facebook.
Tripoli has been shaken by more than a week of clashes between rival groups, the latest episode of chaos in the North African country since the toppling of Moammar Gadhafi in 2011.
Newspapers play no role in Libya and independent national media based inside the country scarcely exists as journalists often face threats from armed groups or officials unhappy with critical coverage.

HUD Complaint Says Facebook Discriminated Against Users With Advertising
After two years of on-and-off investigating, Facebook will have to account for its behavior.

Advocates have struggled for years to get HUD to hold Facebook accountable for its discriminatory advertising practices.Richard B. Levine/Levine Roberts/Newscom via ZUMA
On Friday, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development announced it had filed a housing discrimination complaint against Facebook for violating the Fair Housing Act with its advertising platform.
Attention was first brought to the potential harm of Facebook's advertising tools, which allow advertisers to exclude certain users from seeing their posts, in a 2016 ProPublica investigative report. Despite repeated claims by the company that it had resolved the issues, the HUD complaint states that as of July 24, 2018, Facebook was still facilitating discrimination in housing-related ads based on "race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, disability, and zip code." For instance, advertisers can select to make sure their ads are not shown to users who Facebook categorizes as interested in "the Bible" or "mobility scooters," the complaint claims.
The initial investigation, launched by HUD following the ProPublica report, was halted in November 2017. The agency canceled planned negotiations with the company to resolve the complaint, citing an "agency-wide freeze" on investigations. But advocates persisted with the issue, and the National Fair Housing Alliance filed a suit against Facebook in March.
Carson relaunched the investigation in April and claimed it had initially been dropped because HUD wanted to "have the chance to really study" the suits being brought against the company by various advocacy groups and state attorneys general. Carson has proved a strong advocate for weakening the agency's Fair Housing laws.
"The Fair Housing Act prohibits housing discrimination including those who might limit or deny housing options with a click of a mouse," Anna María Farías, HUD's assistant secretary for fair housing and equal opportunity said in a statement to the press. "When Facebook uses the vast amount of personal data it collects to help advertisers to discriminate, it's the same as slamming the door in someone's face."
The complaint will be followed by a formal investigation, where Facebook will have the opportunity to respond to allegations. If HUD determines that there is "reasonable cause" that the Fair Housing Act was violated, HUD could seek voluntary action from the company to resolve the complaint or send it to the Department of Justice for settlement.

Gheorghe Poenaru (born 1 November 1956) is a Romanian former footballer and manager. As a footballer, Poenaru played mainly as a midfielder for Divizia B and Divizia C teams such as Partizanul Bacău, Aripile Bacău or CSM Borzești, all clubs based in his home county, Bacău.

Poenaru retired in 1992, and started his manager career in 1990, as a player-manager at Aripile Bacău. Subsequently, he was one of the most important managers in the history of Petrolul Moinești, team which he promoted at the level of the second tier and maintained it there for next years. As a result, in 1999 he was promoted as manager of Divizia A club, FCM Bacău, club at which he spent most of his career as a manager. In the top-flight Poenaru also managed Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț and Jiul Petroșani; in the second tier FC Onești and Laminorul Roman. Jiul was the only team outside Moldavia that had Poenaru under contract.

Between 2014 and 2016, Poenaru was the technical director of SC Bacău. After SC Bacău relegation from Liga II, Poenaru retired from the manager career, also having some health problems related to the heart.

Q: 2 Values in the background-size property Was testing different ways of fitting a background using CSS, and read some documentation that I did not 100% understand.
Currently I have the following:
body {
    background: linear-gradient(-45deg,#ee7252,#a23d73,#2be6d5,#24d5ab);
    background-size: 250% 250%;
}

My question is the following: What is the difference between
background-size: 250%;

and
background-size: 250% 250%;

A: You will notice that when you have background-size: 250% 250% the colors look lighter at the bottom right hand side than when you have just one 250%.

The background-size property takes one or two values. If it has two then the first specifies the size of the background in the x direction and the second the size in the y direction.
In your example the width at 250% means the background is 'stretched' to two and a half times the width of the element. And similarly with height.
If no height is specified then 'auto' is assumed and the background will get the height of the element - no 'stretching'.

A: Based on the documentation here, specifying just one value implicitly sets the height to auto. Specifying two values (one for width, one for height) explicitly doesn't.


What Kind Of Swordtail Is This?
Discussion in 'Swordtails' started by Samwuzhere, Apr 20, 2018.
Does anyone know what kind of swordtail this is? I just bought it. It looks blue when the light hits right, and it's grey when it doesn't.
The top swordtail is a 'pineapple' strain. And the bottom swordtail is a 'painted' strain. I don't exactly know what any resulting fry would look like, but the horizontal bars on the 'pineapple' strains tend to be pretty resilient through breeding, so I would expect any fry to develop those bars as well, however faint or dark.
The male in the top picture is not a pineapple it is a green. The bottom is a painted strain. You don't know what genetics the fish have so you can't really predict what will come from them.
Well, we're getting closer. The top one is a Blue (more specifically, non-yellow), not a great one, but definitely genetically blue. The lower one is not a Painted, it is a Tuxedo. The black Tux marking can vary from heavy to light, but it is still a distinct band down the flanks. Painted is a bunch of random black blotches.
I don't know for certain the genetics of the blues. However, I believe it is a pure recessive, which means breeding it to the Red Tux will result in either Red or normal Green Swords, but they would be carrying the blue gene. It gets more complicated from there.
The Red Tux is a strain that I know very well. The Tuxedo marking is a dominant gene, but is only expressed when heterozygous. A homozygous tux will usually die in the womb, or shortly after birth. So a Red tux is likely to produce some Reds without markings. Red is also a dominant gene, but it is seen the same whether heterozygous or homozygous. Only way to find out what the genetics are is to breed it with a non-red strain and see if any fry are non-red.
So, likely you will get Red and Red Tux fry, with a possibility of Green and Green Tux fry. Or maybe not. Considering that store bought fish aren't likely to be proper lines, I would just let them breed and see what happens. Only thing I can say for sure is that some of them will have the Tuxedo markings.
Most generic pet stores call them painted, so you can understand the mistake.
What Kind Of Guppy Is This?


In the bustling Bay Area, the work day seems to move a little faster — making it hard to keep up with the pile of work. While it may be tempting to take projects home, working into the evening will make you tired the next day. Not to mention, taking work home is a pattern that can lead to stress, tension, and health problems.
Here are five tips to help you be more productive at the office and keep you from working nights and weekends.

Move-in by April 30, 2019 to take advantage of our Latest Special!
I understand rules are rules but theres never vistor parking at all!
Ive been there about six times in the past two months and no parking at all.
I decided to visit my friend fast, looked for 30 minutes around casa lago and there was not a single spot. Parked infront of his garage, in less than 15 minutes my car was gone.
Couldnt find a sign which tow company took my car or where to call, until I called security.
The whole thing took an hour and a half ended up paying $389.
There should be places specifically for visitors since residents take all those parking places.
Even with the permit if they are staying overnight, good luck having friends and family over, near to impossible to find parking spots during evening hours.
Management constantly sends negative emails to the entire community regarding the bad actions of the few. This is a passive aggressive way of trying to resolve specific issues. No good tenant wants to constantly have to read negative emails from the property management. My family is going to early terminate our lease because we are so fed up with all the negative energy we are dealing with due to the property team being unable to resolve issues directly with at-fault tenants.
The management is horrible and the neighborhood is so noisy. Takes forever to get things fixed or repaired. Not very sanitary if you have a toilet that is broken. Kitchen is very small too...no storage and very cramped.
The water pressure is very low, the toilets do not flush efficiently and clog due to the poor water pressure. The smoke detectors go off every time I turn the oven on, even though it is not smoky, the ventilation is not very great. And a pet rent is charged even though there is no added space for having the pets and I already have to pay a pet deposit. This seems rather excessive to me. There is also no linen closet or adequate storage space (for food cupboards, dishs, stuff, etc.
We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with some of the features in your apartment. All of our apartments are equipped with water saving toilets and shower heads, which is why your water pressure may be different from what you are used to. We would love to address your issue with the oven and ventilation, as this is a common occurrance with brand new appliances. Please contact the office at your earliest convenience, or go to lincolnapts.com and complete an online maintenance request.
everything is close to perfection in living here at casalago. but the only problem we have is the parking. if given an assigned parking it would be excellent and perfect! some neighbors who have 2car garage still park their car outside. they would park their car outside in the morning til night. wish they would really implement towing!
Thank you so much for your valued feedback. We are working very closely with our courtesy patrol to identify residents violating the parking policy. We want to make sure that all residents are completely aware of our policies prior to towing, therefore we are notifying residents directly prior to vehicles being towed. I understand that this may be frustrating, but we will be working on this issue until it is resolved. Thanks again for voicing your concerns.

Tech The Only Way To Leapfrog The Indian Education System: Amitabh Kant, CEO, NITI Aayog & Byju Raveendran, CEO, BYJU's
India is set to become the EdTech capital of the world
New Delhi, October 22, 2021: "Affordable internet connectivity and technology-based infrastructure are the only ways to enhance the education sector in the country. Relying only on physical infrastructure will not be sufficient, said Mr Amitabh Kant, CEO NITI Aayog.
Speaking at the Public Affairs Forum of India (PAFI)'s 8th National Forum with the theme "Reviving the Economy: Reimagine. Reboot. Reform" that was held virtually today, Mr Kant added that integration of technology in the education system will address the problem of a digital divide in India and bring revolution in the rural areas.
Expressing his faith in technology to usher in transformative change at a huge scale, Mr Kant said "India's performance on learning outcomes still needs a lot to be desired. That will not happen in the traditional method of teachers training. The only way we will improve our learning outcomes is to use technology to leapfrog in a very big way."
Mr Kant said the new national education policy of India was very responsive to the "clarion call" to integrate technology at every level of instruction. He further added that "In the Aspirational District Programme, which has the most backward, difficult districts of India, we have partnered with Byju's to provide learning materials, coaching for competitive exams such as JEE and NEET free of cost. That is the transformative impact that we expect the technology to have. And a comprehensive EdTech architecture will lead to access to learnings especially to disadvantaged groups."
Mr Kant expressed confidence that India was set to become the EdTech capital of the world, and for that he sought the participation of more technology players and drivers of growth for EdTech education. "This is a huge win-win for us if India becomes the EdTech of the world. We will ensure that not merely students benefit, but the country also. Technology will enable us to spread better education to villagers of India and make a quantum jump in education."
Mr Byju Raveendran, Co-Founder & CEO of Byju's, said the EdTech offered an opportunity for students to learn and it can make India a global talent pool for teachers. He further said that "Access to good teachers in small towns is a challenge. There are areas where we can improve the way students learn, creating formats which are appealing for them to become self-learners or active learners."
He mentioned that "We have started initiatives under 'Byju's education for all' with an aim to make difference to 5 million students by 2025. We have doubled the target after receiving the response in the first 12 months."

GRNMA directs members to proceed on strike if Ashanti Region NSS Boss is not sacked
GRNMA President, Mrs. Ofori -Ampofo
The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), has directed nurses and midwives at the Manhyia Government Hospital to proceed on a strike if the Ashanti Region NSS Boss, Mr. Alex Opoku-Mensah is not sacked.
GRNMA, in a notice issued on December 1st, 2022, indicated that the industrial action will take effect on Friday, December 1st, 2022.
This, according to the Association will begin at the Manhyia District Hospital.
"We expect National Service Scheme and government for that matter to sack Mr. Alex Opoku Mensah and we hope they do that without any further delay to avert disruptions in the nursing and midwifery services across the country," portions of the notice stated.
It would be recalled that the Ashanti Regional NSS boss, Alex Opoku Mensah is said to have verbally abused a nurse at the Manhyia Government Hospital who had a misunderstanding with his daughter (a house officer).
The nurse had called the house officer to suggest a change in prescription because what the latter prescribed was unavailable at the pharmacy.
According to the Medical Superintendent, Dr Hussein, the house officer is said to have taken offence at how the nurse spoke with her, thus protested.
Dr. Hussein said, the house officer happened to have been in the company of her father when she spoke with the nurse on phone. As such, Mr. Opoku-Mensah was infuriated by the turn of events and followed his daughter to the hospital.
In an audio recording that has gone viral, Mr. Opoku-Mensah said, "you are very frustrated…Who born dog?…you envy her, you don't respect. Are you a doctor? Who are you? Are you mad? Is the hospital yours? Stupid idiot.. that your useless nursing that you do, useless woman… Do you know who I am? I am the Regional Director of National Service Scheme. Some of you are under me."
Mr Opoku Mensah's action has been condemned by sections of the public and has caused many to be aggrieved.
Although the NSS boss has apologised for his utterances, the Management of the National Service Scheme in a statement issued on Thursday suspended him for verbally abusing the nurse.
But GRNMA is still not happy with the outcome. They insist the NSS Boss must be dismissed.
The statement added that if by Tuesday, December 6, 2022, the NSS Boss is still not fired, then the strike of nurses and midwives will extend to the Ashanti Region.
It further stated that nurses and midwives nationwide will also join the strike action by Friday, December 9th, 2022 if their demand is not met.

Since 2004 Simon Payne has made a series of digital video works using a minimalist palette of primary and secondary colours and simple tones. The related patterns and editing strategies produce complex illusions of weaving motion, optical colour mixtures and phasing tone rows. Eschewing questions of depiction and representation pieces such as New Ratio (2007) and Vice Versa Et Cetera (2010) are concrete and assertive, but the direct nature of the work is irreconcilable with one�s experience of the complex perceptual phenomena that they produce.
Simon Payne�s work has been shown in numerous festivals and venues including: Anthology Film Archives; the Rotterdam International Film Festival; the European Media Arts Festival, Osnabr�ck; Pacific Film Archives, San Francisco; Media City, Windsor; the Edinburgh Film Festival; the Serpentine and Whitechapel Galleries; and Tate Modern. The programme of his work at no.w.here will include Black and White (2001) which verges on pure abstraction, through to his most recent videos to date, where bold colour fields and geometry have come to the fore.
