A Baltimore Officer Breaks Down In Tears After Failing To Save An Infant
Watch the emotional video.
Baltimore Major Richard Gibson tried to save the life of a 1-month-old baby girl during a police protest over the weekend, but unfortunately, he failed.
During a protest over the shooting of a man armed with knives, Gibson was patrolling nearby when he was told by a group of people that a small baby had stopped breathing and was bleeding from her nose. Shortly after, Gibson went into hero mode and rushed into the pizza shop where the baby and her mother had sought cover and performed CPR. Unfortunately, she died at the scene.
"Tonight, our thoughts and prayers are with that family. I couldn't even begin to imagine the pain they're feeling," Baltimore City Police spokesperson Det. Jeremy Silbert told Fox Baltimore. "We're human also. We get upset about things. There are things that make us sad. I think yesterday was a perfect example."
Although he didn't get the ending he hoped for, Gibson's courage and bravery were acknowledged and filmed by Duane Davis, who has become somewhat of a public figure for his criticism of the police over the years. Davis told reporters, "The police did do something positive in the community today… today they served and protected the community."
Det. Silbert said the cause of the infant's death is unknown. Check out the emotional clip above.

Video: Learn how to maximize usability and security for Office 365
Office 365 is now the most widely used cloud application in the world - making it a prime target for cyberattacks. Basic 2FA is not enough to prevent the the use of compromised credentials and older versions of O365 still contain vulnerabilities that can be easily exploited. In this demo, Jeff Hickman illustrates how SecureAuth Adaptive Access Control combines multi-factor authentication with risk analysis — including location analysis, device recognition, identity-based threat detection, and phone fraud prevention — to provide the highest level of identity security, no matter how users are accessing O365.
+ Read the Transcript
Hello, my name is Jeff Hickman. I'm a senior sales engineer with SecureAuth. Today I'm here to talk to you about Office365. Why are we talking about Office365, well it's one of the fastest growing SaaS applications in the marketplace for business productivity. In fact it's edging out one of the traditional leaders of SaaS applications, Salesforce, to become the absolute fastest growing application that a lot of businesses are adopting.
The specific reason that we wanted to talk to you was around authentication and allowing users to have access to Office365. It presents a real challenge for a lot of organizations, especially when it comes around ease of use. How do we secure our authentication while not burdening our users unduly? Well that's where SecureAuth comes in, we're able to use our best of breed adaptive authentication to change the authentication structure at the user goes to authenticate.
When users are leveraging SecureAuth and organizations are authenticating users through SecureAuth to Office365, whether that be any of the applications therein, such as Outlook, or maybe OneDrive, or maybe other applications beyond there, such as SharePoint or whatever else you may have. We federate the access from Office365 into SecureAuth.
SecureAuth then becomes the central authentication point, this means that you can manage all of your authentication policies from one place, rather than having to manage them in Office365 and maybe active directory. But we bring them all into one place for you. So when a user goes to request authentication, whether it's through the mobile app, maybe it's through the thick client on their device like the Word client or the Outlook client, all of that is handled via SecureAuth through federation with Office365.
Microsoft has done a great job of enabling something they call modern authentication. Modern authentication allows us to have a web based rich context when we go to authenticate any of these clients. So when a user goes to request access to an Office365 site, they'll be redirected to SecureAuth and this is where the magic happens. This is when we're able to look at the context of how that user is authenticating. The posture of where they are the in the world, the device they're using, and other details about them before we even get to prompting them for a second factor or bogging down their standard workflow as they're proceeding with their busy day.
What is adaptive authentication? Well, we have a number of other videos that really go into depth about adaptive authentication. But just in a nutshell for you we'll look at, you know, things like their geo location, the velocity of their login. We'll look at the threats associated with their IP to say hey, you know, the IP address is coming from a tor exit node or some sort of anonymous login. We'll look at all that information as well as their device posture, and as well as the group membership that they may have inside of the applications, and that you've dictated that they gain access to.
When we look at all that information one of the nice parts about what we can do is change the authentication story on the fly. So a user may login that morning from the office, you know that's an approved geo location. You saw their last login was last night from the office before they left to go home. You know the IP address is good because it's coming from your subnet or your public IP address. You know the device is legitimate because it's part of your organization, it's a work issued device. Why are we prompting for second factor in this case?
Why are we adding burden on to our end user, who may, if they get too frustrated might turn to, I don't know, Dropbox instead of using OneDrive to share files. Or maybe they'll turn to their personal email address to email that client that really important quote that they're trying to get out. All that is burden in front of the user when they're trying to gain access to their application set. So adaptive allows us to really focus on the context and when the user is going to authenticate to change that. If they do violate a rule then that's the point in time where we could ask them for a step up authentication with two-factor. Whether that's a mobile maybe push notification to their device, maybe it's a SMS, or maybe even it's a time based OTP that we ask the user to put in, all those allow the user to have an easy method of two-factor authentication, but only when it's necessary.
Only when they've violated some sort of adaptive rule, the nice part about Office365 and the integration with SecureAuth is that it is all native to the modern authentication screens. But additionally we can also support the WS Trust context for things like your native Android or native iOS mail clients. So we can fully support the Office365 authentication scenario. Now you may be asking, okay that's great, yes, two factor, why is it so important? Well one of the large things that we've been tracking over the past couple years, and the main reason why SecureAuth exists is to prevent the misuse of stolen credentials.
And we've seen out of the rise in data breach report, the 2016 report, said 63 percent of data breaches included some sort of stolen or weak passwords. The recent data breach report from 2017 said 81 percent, so we've seen a climb, about a 28 to 29 percent climb in data breaches around stolen or weak passwords. By putting adaptive authentication and two-factor authentication in front of your Office365, which may contain you know, really sensitive data for your organization that allows you to not worry so much about the password. Maybe take a backseat to it, to allow the context and the two-factor to take over. In fact, if you really wanted to, something that we are really excited about is enabling password-less authentication into Office365.
With this context, with the mobile push method of second factor, we can remove the password from the equation. And allow the user to simply put in their username, and then get a message to their mobile device. Provide their fingerprint via touch ID, and boom they're logged right into Office365 at that point. We know that two-factor alone isn't enough. We know that passwords are a real point of concern for a lot of organizations and how a lot of data breaches happen. So by combining all of our layers, by allowing us to use their mobile device for interaction, SecureAuth can provide a really robust and complete solution for securing access to Office365. Thank you for your time today, I hope you tune in, in the future.

When Hillary Clinton conceded in 2008 that she didn't quite 'shatter the glass ceiling', and when Rick Perry in 2012 called Mitt Romney a 'vulture capitalist', they used abbreviated metaphorical stories, in which stories about one topic are presented as stories about something entirely different. This book examines a wide range of metaphorical stories, beginning with literary genres such as allegories and fables, then focusing on metaphorical stories in ordinary conversations, political speeches, editorial cartoons, and other communication. Sometimes metaphorical stories are developed in rich detail; in other examples, like 'vulture capitalist', they may merely be referenced or implied. This book argues that close attention to metaphorical stories and story metaphors enriches our understanding and is essential to any theory of communication. The book introduces a theoretical structure, which is developed into a theory of metaphorical stories and then illustrates the theory by applying it to actual discourse.

Impacts of Pervasive Climate Change and Extreme Events on Rocky Intertidal Communities: Evidence From Long-Term Data
Nova Mieszkowska, Michael T. Burrows, Stephen J. Hawkins, Heather Sugden
Annual surveys of the abundance of intertidal invertebrates and macroalgae have been made at between 70 and 100 rocky intertidal time-series sites around the United Kingdom coastline since 2002 under the MarClim project. The data provide a unique opportunity to investigate the impacts of both pervasive climate change and their punctuation by extreme events on intertidal species. After the extreme storm events in the 2013/2014 winter season and the record heatwaves in the summers of 2018 and 2020, MarClim surveys recorded both physical and biological changes to rocky shore habitats. Subsequent surveys reassessed the effects on community structure via analysis of those species that resisted storm damage, those species that returned after the extreme storm events, and species that opportunistically occupied vacant habitat after storm-induced species loss. In addition, biannual storm damage surveys documenting communities recovery were carried out in the spring and winter of each year from 2014 to 2020 at three MarClim sites in north Cornwall (Crackington Haven, Trevone, and St. Ives), which experienced different types of abiotic and biotic damage resulting from these storms. Impacts of heatwaves and cold spells on the abundance of species were determined by regression on frequencies of event per year. Species of invertebrates and macroalgae generally declined in years of more frequent winter cold spells and summer heatwaves, while winter heatwaves and summer cold spells had similar numbers of positive and negative effects across species. Winter warm spells tended to have a more negative effect on cold-affinity species than on warm-affinity species. No abrupt shift was recorded after the 2013/2014 storms. Whilst a short-term change in some species was recorded in quantitative quadrat surveys, the biological communities returned to the long-term species composition and abundance within 2 years. The heatwave events caused sublethal heat damage in macroalgae, evidenced as dried areas of tissue on many individuals, with mortality-induced reductions in the abundance of only a few invertebrate species, recorded in Scotland and southwest England after the heatwave events in 2018 and 2020. MarClim and storm-damage surveys indicate that there have been no sustained impacts from either extreme thermal or storm events across the rocky intertidal communities, and biodiversity has not been significantly altered as a result. The abundance and biogeographical distributions of rocky intertidal species and communities around the United Kingdom are being driven by longer-term, large scale, pervasive change in environmental conditions, with a gradual shift towards dominance of Lusitanian species from the early 2000s in responses to warming of the marine climate.

Now you can take on the rare and unique jobs without the worry of finding the parts to complete it. Our bearings are either NOS, NORS or brand new production using the latest in technology and modern materials to ensure many miles a of care free use in our Rebuilders Choice brand.
Crank gears to cam gears to the timing chains, Rebuilders Choice has the parts for the most common to the most unique of engines. We even provide roller sets that are an upgrade to the originals for many popular engines. Replacing the timing set is key to a complete rebuild. These parts endure thousands of miles and revolutions. Over time the gears will wear and the chain will become slack. This in turn will affect performance, drivability and overall timing.
We carry a large assortment of valve train parts. We offer valve train kit for the ultimate in savings when refreshing the upper half of your customer's engine without breaking the bank and putting money in your profits. We can supply the intake and exhaust valves, valve springs, rockers, lifters and pushrods for a wide range of automobile starting as early as the 1920's through the early 80's.
Offering a large inventory of brand new and reground camshafts in stock ready to ship. For your performance machine shop we have an array of the performance cams for early V8's like the Cadillac 365, Oldsmobile 394 and many early Mopars. Now you can service the hot rods market with quality parts at a great price when you need them.
This is the complete package from one source to rebuild any antique, domestic 4, 6, or 8 cylinder engine. The days of sourcing each part of a rebuild is over. With an engine overhaul kit from Rebuilders Choice you will have all the parts you will need from one phone call. Also, with a purchase of a overhaul kit you will get the support of a staff that has over 55 years of experience serving machinist and shops like you with the hardest of questions.
Many fine antique cars suffer from fuel pump failures each season. Shelf life is short on the old laminated diaphragms and the other pumps parts. That's why all of our pumps are rebuilt using long-life materials and parts. Why risk a breakdown for your customer or even poor performance.
Our precision engineered kits include gaskets, seals, and the necessary parts for rebuilding your carburetor. We also have a large inventory of hard to find floats as well to aid in your rebuild. But for time savings and profitability we offer fully rebuilt carburetors ready for installation. That are set to factory setting so tuning is a cinch and both time and money are saved.
Keep the cooling system flowing strong in your customer's car with a precision rebuild or new water pump from Rebuilders Choice. Whether you are restoring a car or rebuilding an engine or just replacing a leaky unit. Our warranty water pumps are the best answer for cooling system efficiency and protection. Our complete line of water pumps start as early as 1929 and continue through the late 80's for the majority of American cars, trucks, and light industrial.
Restore new car power, smoothness and performance with a precision rebuilt clutch from Rebuilders Choice. While you're at it-install new throwout & pilot bearings. Install with confidence knowing that the parts you are installing are the right ones to get the job done and the customer happy.
Brand new universal joints for smooth, quiet, reliable performance. Our high quality universal joints will help to eliminate driveshaft noise and vibration, and they are back by our warranty. Remember, old u joints may give no warning before failure, as age, corrosion and fatigue take their toll.
These are one of our most popular items and the most cost effective for you and your customers. We offer three types of kits our Basic kit, Deluxe kit and Super kit. Our Basic kit includes upper and lower ball joints, control arm bushings and outer tie rod ends. This kit will get your customer back on the road in no time. Our Deluxe kit contains every part the basic kit has plus upper and lower controls arm shafts. RC's Super kit contains both the Basic and Deluxe kit but includes adjusting sleeves, inner tie rod ends and idler arm. The more extensive the kit, the greater saving's for you and your customers. These parts collectively bought would be far more expensive than one of our front end kits.
One of the most widely abused and worn sections of the front suspension are the kingpins or ball joints and tie rod ends. The job of these parts are to hold steady, but allow a fluid motion from left to right. After many miles and bumpy roads these too will wear and will cause misalignment, tire wear and will become unsafe to drive. But no worries here as we have these parts available for antique and collector cars going back as early as the 1920's. Now you have no reason to turn away a job.
Rubber or steel Rebuilders Choice has the parts to take on the job. From control arm bushings to shackle bushings and even strut rod bushings we carry in stock the parts to get your customer out of your shop quickly, back on the road and you paid.
Items that rotate wear the quickest and the idler arm, pitman arm and centerlink are no exception. Sometimes finding replacements can be difficult for antique automobiles and many times shops will turn away projects of this nature due to this, but no longer. Now you can take on these jobs with confidence knowing that all the parts you need are just a phone call away. All of our parts are made to the strictest standards to ensure years of reliability and worry free miles for you and your customer.
Weak and sagging springs tend to plague antique and collector cars, both in the front, as well as, in the rear. Their job is to carry the weight of the chassis and body while providing comfort, precise handling and load-bearing capability. As they wear their capability to accomplish this lessens. Rebuilders Choice springs and shocks are made to fit like factory and function like original.
Our kits are comprised of all the necessary parts that are needed to do a complete restoration of your customer's collector car's brake system. The braking system on an antique car is by far the most important area that requires annual inspection as it is the source of stopping for these 2 ton vehicles. We offer two types of Brake Overhaul kit. Rebuilder Choice's Master Kit includes 2 sets of brake shoes, brake hardware, brake hose and rebuild kits for the master cylinder and wheel cylinders. This type of kit is great if the customer insists on keeping his or her wheel cylinder and master if they have a date coded correct vehicle. Our best seller and your most profitable kit for your shop is our Deluxe Brake Overhaul kit. This kit contains all the parts of the Basic kit, but in addition includes the master cylinder and four wheel cylinders ready to install. This kit will save you time on installation, which in turn will save you money and increase your bottom line.
Over the years as restoration and safety standards increased, restorers have been requesting more brake drums and rotors. With the availability of NOS and NORS becoming increasingly smaller. We have made a commitment to reproduce many of the popular brakes that many once found to be obsolete. Besides our new production we also have a large inventory of NOS and NORS. For safe, sure stops, show winning looks and satisfaction of knowing that you are depending on the most trusted source in the industry.
Stop with confidence when you buy a Rebuilders Choice's Disc Brake Conversion Kit.

These small components support 1000's of pounds of steel (and YOU) at high rates of speeds while holding back grease and oil from contaminating the car's braking surfaces. We have made it easy by providing wheel bearing kits for the front and rear of many models of American collector cars. Starting in 1925 through the 1970's, our kits include premium quality inner and outer bearings, races and seals. Install these parts in your next restoration with confidence knowing that you have quality parts from Rebuilders Choice. All of the parts in our kits are available individually in cases where a seal or single bearing is needed.
Parking brake or as some people call them emergency brakes are often over looked. Over time road dirt, water, and other containments make their way into the sheathing and created friction between the cable and sheathing. This creates friction which leads to fraying or seizing of the cable. With the majority of our early antique cars being standard shift it is imperative to have properly operating parking brake system. Rebuilder's Choice carries are large inventory of cables and patterns to make them new for your next or current restoration. All of our cables are made with premium quality materials and are made to fit correctly the first time.
All of the parts in our various kits are available individually or in kit form for your convenience and for maximum profits. All the products that sell are back by our lifetime limited warranty. So go ahead and install with confidence.

Established as iLiving in 2007/08 for importing foreign brands into Taiwan and selling these products through their own retail channels. iLiving specialized in selling a wide variety of home accessories, ranging from small kitchen accessories (such as microfiber cloths, salt & pepper shakers, glass and plastic containers, and small kitchen gadgets) to small home furniture pieces (such as dressers).
The problem they faced was a diminishing brand attraction into their stores. Plus, they heavily relied on being exclusive distributor for major brands. It was obvious that iLiving needed to shift their business to include their own branded products. This strategy will shield them in the event they lose their exclusive distribution rights on their popular brands.
iLiving as a brand wasn't visually strong enough to produce their products. That's our we approach from the beginning when rebranding iLiving - to create a brand that can transition from retail store to products.
1 – Before
naming Process
We wanted a name that felt light and airy - similar to a cloud. We like the idea of feeling you get when you walk into spacious house. The name also need to feel minimalistic and clean.
Nooma (Greek: pneuma) means wind, air and spirit. The sound of Nooma reflects our concept for the new iLiving. What we really liked about this name is how it can describe the feeling of walking into a gorgeous home.
Nooma's core message is that they believe the home is more than just a physical space, populated by furnishings and accentuated by decorations. More importantly, the home is a state of mind that flourishes when its inhabitants are able to self-express, play and rest in comfort. Like a comforting spirit, a gentle breeze, or a breath of fresh air, the feeling of "home" transcends the dimensions of any given space.
We were drawn towards Azo font because of the O. According to R-Typography [link], the O has the appearance of a perfect circle, however it is optically adjusted.

Meaford Coyotes Track Club head coach Kevin Hooper and Grade 11 Port Elgin student Sam Nusselder ventured to Kingston on Saturday, November 28 for the Canadian Cross Country Championships.
The national event was hosted at the beautiful Fort Henry Historic site overlooking the water and downtown Kingston. The weather had cleared Saturday morning after two days of heavy rain over the grassy, undulating, and twisting course. The course made for a true Canadian cross country experience with light winds making the 0'C temperatures drop to about -6'C.
Sam Nusselder began the day competing in the Youth Boys 6km race. Each of the 3x2km loops had long straight-aways with three sharp and slippery hairpin turns throughout the course, and a slippery 100m hill approaching the finish line. Nusselder had a strong race with a good start and a consistent pace through each of the three laps. Being the youngest in the two-year age group and his first Canadian XC experience, the Coyotes were not quite sure what to expect for this competition, but were hoping for a top 40 placing. Sam crossed the line in 95th spot of 182 competitors with a time of 21:42 minutes - a good time for him considering the conditions.
Coach Hooper stepped up to the line in the Masters 8km race against 165 competitors in the 30+ age group with both men and women competing together. The Masters raced the same 2km-looped course and making four trips around. This was Hooper's first Master National XC race in eight years and his goal was to be close to the 32:00 barrier. He also ran relatively consistent times on each loop and stopped the clock in 32:19. He placed 68th overall and 15th of 22 in the Male 50-54 age group.
Both Hooper and Nusselder were pleased with their performances and learned a lot about what they need to work on over the next several months as they both expect to compete at this event again next year. Kingston will be hosting the National XC event for the next three years on the same course.
"It was exciting to watch the amazing talent this country has developed for its distance runners and how fast these kids actually run. It definitely sets a very high bar for our young Coyotes to chase after as we develop our young runners who will be competing in this event in the next few years. With a lot of hard work and huge commitment, hopefully we can develop more national champions to follow in the footsteps on last year's National Junior Champion, Hannah Woodhouse," said Hooper.
The Coyotes now transition into their winter program. They will be braving the outdoor elements with their training programs and will be competing in several indoor track meets beginning in mid-January. For more information about the Coyotes or if you are interested in joining the team, please check out their website at www.meafordcoyotes.com.

Johnny Depp & Vanessa Paradis are getting their flirt on
Nikki Nelson/WENN
Is Johnny Depp moving on from his ugly divorce with Amber Heard… by moving backward?
More: Inside the exquisite penthouse Johnny Depp once shared with Amber Heard
Sources say Depp might be seeking solace in the arms of someone very, very familiar: his ex, Vanessa Paradis.
OK! magazine reports that Depp and Paradis were seen together having a dinner at a romantic restaurant in Los Angeles.
"They were flirting with each other in a quiet corner at the end of the bar and didn't seem to care who was looking," an onlooker told the magazine. The source continued, saying that Depp "didn't want to leave her side" — apparently so much that he even followed her into the bathroom. We'll give you three guesses what we think they were doing in there.
More: Amber Heard's extramarital affairs — or lack thereof — really shouldn't matter
Depp and Paradis already have a long history. They were together for 14 years — from 1998 until 2012 — and they have two kids together, Lily-Rose Melody Depp and John Christopher Depp III.
Their split was reportedly very amicable, so it would make sense if they were just having a friendly catch-up sesh or if Paradis was hanging with Depp to support him after his messy divorce. But from the sound of what other people in the restaurant saw, it's always possible that there could be more.
Depp and Heard just settled their divorce after a long and contentious battle filled with domestic abuse allegations and restraining orders. They eventually agreed to a quiet, out-of-court settlement, and Heard donated all $9 million of her settlement money to domestic violence charities.
"Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love. Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm. Amber wishes the best for Johnny in the future. Amber will be donating financial proceeds from the divorce to a charity," they wrote in a joint statement released after their divorce was finalized.

The sign on Maria Dockery's Femme Fatale ARMS states, "Guns and Accessories for Women," and is catching the attention of both women and men who enter the Melbourne, Florida store.
Femme Fatale ARMS provides the knowledge, understanding and training to enable women to realize a higher degree of safety and security through the informed purchase and use of firearms. "I started this business to provide a long overdue and badly needed service to a segment of society that is under-served and often victimized. We are living in a changing world, and a world where it is becoming more and more necessary to be concerned with personal safety." She offers ladies only and co-ed concealed carry license training, as well as a ladies shooting club to ensure her customers are not only properly equipped to defend themselves, but are confident and capable in their security as well.
Dockery is also helping women in other ways by reaching out to local women's shelters and providing them with "Kuros!" pepper spray, a product that will not only help keep local women safe, but which, through partnership with Saber Red, will provide the same number of pepper sprays to women in need who could not otherwise afford it around the globe.


I'm SUPER excited about this deal that is for TODAY ONLY – the Dyson Ball Animal Upright Vacuum with bonus tools (refurbished) for $189.99! That's $85 off the normal price, or 31% off. If you've been searching for the best deal on a super nice vacuum, this is it!
We have the this vacuum (pictured above) and LOVE IT! I actually enjoy vacuuming ever since I got my Dyson. My mom has had two (one for her house, one for our cabin) and she's a die-hard fan as well.
My experience with buying refurbished items has been flawless – usually a minor repair is made, they're just like brand new, and sold to a consumer for a deeply discounted price. It's really one of the best ways to get an incredible deal on an item you'd otherwise maybe not be able to afford.
This deal is today only but I predict it will sell out before the end of the day, so don't wait!!
Just bought it!!!! So excited!!! Thank you Corrine!!! Keep doing what you do, your site is wonderful. Big fan here.
Hey Corrine, thanks so much much for what you do with the website! Love it! Got the vacuum! Tell us where your throw pillows are from on your sofa 😉 They are gorgeous.
I've been looking for a good vacuum. Thanks for sharing this!
Got one! I agree with Clara. I have purchased quite a few things you have posted. Great work and thank you!!
Thanks for the find! Right as I went to purchase it, it was out of stock! If you find any other great vacuum deals, please share!!

One enemy has fallen ... a greater one remains ... now it's war The Red Knight withstood the full might of his enemy and won the day. In a victory which will be remembered through the ages, he brought disparate factions together and turned them into allies against a more powerful foe than they had ever seen. Now, he will need his allies more than ever. Because behind one adversary hid another--one with allies of their own--whose goal was never to destroy Alba, but to distract the Kingdom while achieving his true aim. And whatever it is, it's probably not in the Red Knight's interest. With one army defeated, now the Red Knight must fight again--and for every one of his allies there is a corresponding enemy.

Worse still, she's haunted. She inherited her ability to see spirits from the women of her family, but the dead see her, too. Ghosts are drawn to her, and their lightest touch leaves her with painful wounds.
Loxley swears to take blood for blood and find her friend's killer. In doing so, she uncovers a conspiracy that rises all the way to the top of The Hole. As her enemies grow wise to her existence, she becomes the quarry, hunted by a brutal enforcer named Hiram McClintock. In sore need of confederates, Loxley must descend into the strangest depths of the city in order to have the revenge she seeks and, ultimately, her own salvation.

Weird Space: The Star of the Sea by Una McCormack
Published by Abaddon on October 25th 2016
The incredible series about a corrupt, galactic human empire and the alien threat to our existence continues.
Its name is Stella Maris, the 'star of the sea,' a small world beyond the edge of the human Expansion, where a few men and women – Vetch and human alike – have made their homes. Fleeing persecution or oppression on their own worlds, here they have found peace and plenty, in communion with the otherworldly Weird.
A few weeks ago, that harmony was threatened, when Delia Walker came seeking hope for the future, hunted by her enemies in the Expansion, and went into the portal. Now, impossibly, her daughter has walked out, a grown woman, and demanded passage to the Expansion's capital.
As more ships land on Stella Maris, bringing an end to the quiet obscurity the settlers have long cherished, a desperate race to carry Cassandra Walker to her destiny, and a resistance against those who would exploit Stella Maris for their own ends.

I have only ever seen the original once before, and that was last year. I loved the film a lot, so I was excited to see the re-imagining of the film. It was good, but it nowhere near lived up to the expectations set by its predecessor.
There were some things that I did not like that changed between the original film and this version. I did not like the way in which they changed "Science Fiction Double Feature". I feel like the use of the lips in the original was more interesting than the Usherette in this version. The lips make an appearance in the end credits, but that is a bit too late. I didn't love Laverne Cox's portrayal of Frank-N-Furter. I think that her performance was a lot less funny than that of Tim Curry. It felt more like she was trying to honor the role rather than playing it to be funny.
So overall, I liked "The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again", however, it wasn't quite as good as I had hoped it to be. It's not really something that needs to be watched, as there is a lack of differentiation from the original, however, it's not necessarily something to avoid, either.
How Did I Watch It?: On TV.
I love this movie and I used to watch it all the time. There was a time that I could quote entire scenes from this movie verbatim. I happened to catch the first half of this movie on TV yesterday, so I decided to finish watching it today.
This movie, while formulaic, has so many funny elements. Yes, as the title says, it's a underdog story, and it hits many of the beats of the genre. There is only one event in the film that I didn't really expect to happen. I did and always have, however, laughed constantly throughout the film. There are so many parts in this movie that are quoted and referenced often in our culture. "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!" and "ESPN: The Ocho" are among the most famous jokes from the film, and rightfully so, as they are hilarious. I can't stress enough how funny this film is.
The actors in this film are really funny and look like they enjoyed themselves in this film. Of course Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller were hilarious, however there were some amazing supporting actors that were ridiculously funny as well. Gary Cole and Jason Bateman are among my favorite, delivering tons of laughs as the commentators from "ESPN: The Ocho". Stephen Root, Justin Long, Alan Tudyk, and Rip Torn are also all funny.
So "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" is among my favorite movie of all time because of its pure enjoyability. I heavily recommend it if you haven't seen it before and you like comedy movies.
How Did I Watch It?: On TV & DVD/Blu-Ray that I own.

Spread Pricing: The PBM bills the MCO one amount for a patient's medication, and pays the pharmacy a smaller amount to dispense it. The PBM keeps the difference as profit — along with any rebate it receives from the drugmaker. That means PBMs have an incentive to bill the MCO (i.e., the taxpayers) as MUCH as possible while paying the pharmacy as LITTLE as possible. Until recently, the amount of a PBM's spread, and how much it received in rebates, has been a closely guarded secret.
Pass-Through Pricing: The PBM receives a flat fee for each prescription it processes, on top of the actual cost of the medication. Pharmacists are (in theory) also paid a set amount per prescription, again, above the cost of the of the medication.

Marvel VP and Ms. Marvel Creator Sana Amanat: "Blatant Racism, Bigotry & Hypocrisy Peddled by This Administration"
Marvel Comics Vice President of Content and Character Development Sana Amanat took to Twitter to claim there is "blatant racism, bigotry, & hypocrisy peddled by this administration."
Amanat's comments were made in a Tweet directed at Minnesota representative Ilhan Omar. She wrote, "Ilhan Omar thank you for being an idealistic force full of grace in the midst of such blatant racism, bigotry & hypocrisy peddled by this administration."
She continued, "I hope America realizes that Islamophobia has been institutionalized & ignored for far too long. We are with you. Keep fighting."
@IlhanMN thank you for being an idealistic force full of grace in the midst of such blatant racism, bigotry & hypocrisy peddled by this administration. I hope America realizes that Islamophobia has been institutionalized & ignored for far too long. We are with you. Keep fighting.
— sana amanat (@MiniB622) August 15, 2019
Amanat has been an outspoken critic of President Trump in the past. Last October, she wished the entire nation could sue Donald Trump for "emotional and psychological abuse." (Related: Marvel's Sana Amanat Wants to Sue President Trump)
Washington Times reporter Doug Ernst also uncovered a number of old tweets from Amanat that she has since deleted. She wrote, "Mexicans, Jews, Muslims, women, native Americans, the environment, science, and KIDS. #StuffTheRepublicansHate #ProbablyMissingThings."
In another tweet, she wrote responded to the Kumail Nanjiani, a current member of Marvel's The Eternals. Nanjiana wrote, "You know what? I've changed my mind. Diversity is stupid. From now on every person in everything should be brown." Amanat added her own thoughts to that tweet writing, "That's the future once we start inter-breeding. Brown will rule. Muhahahaha."
She also wrote, "One day, we will all be brown. (And NO that does not mean I plan to spread shariah law)." (Related: Damning Tweets Surface After C.B. Cebulski Says Marvel is 100% Committed to Diversity!)
Amanat has also made sure to inject politics into Marvel Comics. She specifically described how Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel would react to meeting President Donald Trump. (Related: Recently Announced Ms. Marvel Showrunner Bisha K. Ali Deletes 5,000 Tweets and Privates Social Media Accounts Prior to D23 Expo)
"The first thing she would say is that he's doing such irreparable damage to young Americans, and minorities everywhere. Words and images are really powerful, and these young kids are actually having a perception of themselves that's not true, and that's so dangerous. And then she'd probably remind him that his grandfather was an immigrant, I believe, and if he'd had the same type of vitriolic sentiment thrown at him, Trump would not have had the opportunities he's had, or the success that he's had. And then she'd probably fly off with the Avengers and save the world from actual bad guys, and prove him wrong about who Muslims really are."
What do you make of Amanat's recent statements regarding the Trump administration? Do you agree with her?

The Chapin Mine Steam Pump Engine, also known as The Cornish Pump, is a steam-driven pump located at the corner of Kent Street and Kimberly Avenue in Iron Mountain, Michigan, USA. It is the largest reciprocating steam-driven engine ever built in the United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981 and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1958.

History
Iron ore was discovered in what is now the Iron Mountain area in 1878. Development was rapid: Iron Mountain was platted in 1879 and the Chapin Mine Company was formed the same year. The Chapin Mine proved to be the most productive in the Menominee Range, but part of the ore body was underneath a cedar swamp and water seepage proved to be an ongoing problem.  Ground pumps were used at first, but as the shaft depth increased, so did the problems. In 1889, after a number of accidents, the mining company commissioned a water pump from the E. P. Allis Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (now Allis-Chalmers). The company's chief engineer, Edwin P. Reynolds designed a "Cornish Pump" similar to those used in tin mines in Cornwall, England.

The company constructed the pump in 1890-91, after which it was installed at Chapin Mine's "D" shaft. The pump engine was installed at the surface near a boiler, to minimize efficiency losses in steam transport and to prevent damage to the engine in case of an emergency shut-off. It was housed in a massive red sandstone pump house,  high,  by  at the base, with a foundation  thick. The pump itself cost $82,000, and the entire installation cost an estimated $250,000. The pump began operation on January 3, 1893.

An underground shift in 1896 misaligned the engine, and further shifts cracked the engine house and the surrounding ground. In 1899, the pumping engine was dismantled and stored away.

In the meantime, the Chapin Mining Company had been expanding. In 1894, it acquired the nearby Hamilton and Ludington mines, both of which had been abandoned due to flooding problems. Chapin dewatered the other mines and made underground connections to the Chapin Mine.  The Chapin Mining Company was purchased by the Oliver Iron Mining Company, a subsidiary of U.S. Steel, in 1901. In 1907, Oliver reassembled the pumping engine and moved it to its current location near the site of the Ludington Mine "C" shaft.  They constructed a corrugated metal building on a red sandstone foundation to house the pumping engine. The pump served the combined needs of the Chapin, Ludington and Hamilton mines until 1914, when it was replaced with electric pumps.

By the time the Chapin Mine closed in 1932, it had produced over 27 million tons of iron ore, the most in the Menominee Iron Range. Two years later, the Oliver Iron Mining Company donated the Chapin Mine Steam Pump Engine to Dickinson County as a "relic for sightseers to visit." The county demolished the building housing the pumping engine and painted the engine to make it more attractive to tourists. The engine was nearly scrapped during World War II for its metal content, and indeed the steel frame shaft housing standing nearby was dismantled, but local sentiment saved the pumping engine.

Cornish Pumping Engine and Mining Museum
In 1978, the county turned it over to the Menominee Range Historical Foundation, who constructed a museum around it in 1982-83. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1958 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. In 1987, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers designated the pump a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark.

The museum housing the pump, known as the Cornish Pumping Engine and Mining Museum, also displays a varied collection of mining equipment used in local iron mines; the museum is open to the public.

Description
The Chapin Mine Steam Pump Engine is a vertical tandem compound steam engine. At its maximum speed of 10 rpm, it produced over , and during operation required  of coal per year to operate. It is  tall with a flywheel  in diameter, weighing .  The entire engine weighs . The drive shaft is  in diameter and the high and low pressure steam are  and  in diameter, respectively, both having a stroke of .

At the Ludington "C" shaft location, the pumping engine was connected via a  diameter shaft to a series of eight pumps, the deepest of which was  below ground (at the original Chapin "D" shaft location, the depth was only ). Each pump had plungers  in diameter with a stroke of .  Water was pumped by each pump through a vertical pipe to a discharge tank just beneath the next pump in series, and thus was carried in eight steps to the surface. The total capacity of the pump system was  per minute.

Although the Chapin Mine Steam Pump Engine is popularly known as "The Cornish Pump", it is not actually a Cornish engine, which lacks the rotating parts (connecting rod, crank and flywheel) seen in the Chapin Engine. Rather, the name comes from the similarity between the Chapin engine and those used in tin mines in Cornwall in the 19th century.
