Twelve months ago voters showed they had a heart when Rapper Dragon was made Horse of the Year and they now face a similar scenario deciding between "peoples' horse" Pakistan Star and the perhaps better credentialed – on paper at least – Beauty Generation.
Of course, the decision to anoint Rapper Dragon 2016-17 Horse of the Year had the added pathos of the horse's tragic racetrack death but Pakistan Star's unprecedented popularity, especially with the non-racing public, must be considered in his case.
What makes the two decisions so alike is that Rapper Dragon beat a rival who had arguably accomplished more.
Rapper Dragon had not won an international Group One (but he was the first horse to sweep the four-year-old series) and his stablemate Werther had won two.
With the final Group races of the #HKracing season approaching, is it Pakistan Star, Beauty Generation or Time Warp for Horse of the Year? Vote below ... thoughts welcome. Arguments encouraged.
Pakistan Star has finished a tumultuous campaign with two utterly dominant Group One victories but Beauty Generation is the only horse who has won three at the top level.
Time Warp would also be a worthy candidate in many seasons and deserves some discussion given his two scintillating Group One victories.
Still, Horse of the Year shouldn't be just about statistics, and if it was a robot could make the call.
And just as a sound case beyond sentimentality could be made for Rapper Dragon, Pakistan Star has more than just the fan vote on his side.
Horse of the Year can mean a lot of things, but it's usually obvious, it's the horse that achieves the most in a season.
On most occasions, a horse dominates so much that voters and fans are left in no doubt who the winner should be.
A metric that should matter though is ratings and by that measure Pakistan Star had the edge on Beauty Generation.
Pakistan Star's local rating of 127 has him behind Mr Stunning, D B Pin and Ivictory, the winners of Hong Kong's three Group One sprints locked on 128.
It puts him ahead of Beauty Generation on 126 though, and that has to count for something.
Then there are the intangibles and this is where Pakistan Star wins hands down; ask any racing fan outside Hong Kong who their Horse of the Year is and there is no doubt.
In fact, Pakistan Star might be the only name they know, even if that has as much to do with the quirky horse's drama-filled story as anything else.
The crazy come-from-behind finishes, the infamous "Pakistan Stop" incident a year ago and subsequent racing ban made the gelding Hong Kong racing's best known horse since the mighty Silent Witness.
Within Hong Kong, Pakistan Star is a runaway leader of Most Popular Horse voting, as of June 18, Pakistan Star held 59.1 per cent of the public vote to 18.2 per cent for Beauty Generation.
And anyway, how boring would Beauty Generation be as a Horse of the Year winner? Honest, tradesman-like, versatile – he ticks all of the boxes – except one, X-factor, something Pakistan Star has in spades.
The committee get a chance to recognise the biggest on-track story of the season, in a season where feel-good stories have at times been overwhelmed by off-track controversies.
Even if it doesn't look like it on paper, and even with sentimentality aside, Pakistan Star is the rightful Horse of the Year.


To say that things get a little bit convoluted when it comes to Hellraiser: Judgment is a little bit of an understatement. Director Gary J. Tunnicliffe wrote and directed this tenth installment in the Hellraiser franchise, and this came with a substantial amount of vitriol. You see, Tunnifcliffe is the man who wrote Hellraiser: Revelations and let's just say that Revelations is not a movie that's looked kindly upon by fans. After getting stuck in production hell, then briefly looking for funding through Kickstarter, Tunnicliffe has finally come to the table as writer and director.
All hope is not lost, though. Tunnicliffe is a huge fan of the franchise and is himself disappointed with what happened to Revelations and the many changes to his script. With Judgement, he hopes to create something unique and his own while also paying respect to the foundation of the series. He has lofty ambitions, citing filmmakers such as David Lynch, David Fincher and the original auteur himself, Clive Barker. All of this without beloved original Pinhead, Doug Bradley.
Now after months of little to no information, we have a full trailer drop. Only time will tell if the movie pans out but from what we can see, it looks promising; body horror, awesome looking demons and Pinhead. That's a promising start. We have our fingers crossed that Tunnicliffe delivers on his promises and that Paul Taylor may be a suitable replacement for everyone's favorite cenobite.

Homosexual Mental and Physical Health Problems
This information was gleaned from 79 scientific studies, several newspapers, a website and then condensed into a readable format. Information on the studies is available upon request. Jim Fritz
A homosexual lifestyle, on the average, shortens one's lifespan by roughly 20 years. It is more deadly than smoking, alcoholism, or drug addiction. This is tragic, since it is known that in many cases homosexuality can be prevented or substantially healed in adulthood when there is sufficient motivation and help.
The results of spreading homosexuality lie not only in moral degradation and personal ruin but inevitably in physical destruction. Homosexuality is essentially infectious.
Hollywood and the media relentlessly propagate the image of the fit, healthy, and well-adjusted homosexual. The reality is the exact opposite of this caricature. Homosexual and lesbian relationships are typically characterized by instability and promiscuity plus unhealthy and risky sex practices. These factors greatly increase the incidence of serious and incurable sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including hepatitis, HPV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and HIV/AIDS.
The homosexual agenda would create a society in which homosexuality is regarded as healthy, natural and normal. In actuality, debilitating illness, chronic disease, psychological problems and early death suffered by homosexuals is the legacy of this tragically misguided activism. Those who advocate full acceptance of homosexual behavior choose to downplay the growing and incontrovertible evidence regarding the serious, life-threatening health effects associated with the homosexual lifestyle.
As Catholic, as a Christian, as a citizen, what can one do to stop the spread of homosexuality?
Homosexual activists seek to legitimize their depravity as a norm; however, a healthy and informed society should have the strength and conviction to resist it. We must call things by their proper names. What is vice is vice, and it can never turn into a virtue. It is necessary to become educated in the physical and mental health problems of the homosexual and to conduct educational activities to reverse this activism.
One of the pro-homosexual arguments cites the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) removal of homosexuality from its diagnostic list of mental disorders in 1973. They don't mention the substantial protest which followed, and that the APA was strongly motivated by the desire to reduce the effects of social oppression. But let's take a look at the reality of homosexuality as defined by thousands of studies. We will return to the APA decision at the end of this article.
CatholicCitizens.org has published a report by Dr. Brian Kopp on the serious physical health problems created by homosexual behaviors. Homosexuality is neither normal nor benign. Rather, it is a lethal behavioral addiction. The defining features of male homosexuality consist of a variety of dangerous behaviors, including extreme promiscuity, a higher incidence of pedophilia, sexual abuse, and same-gender sex.
Sex among homosexual males typically includes: oral and anal sex; rimming (mouth-to-anus contact); fisting (insertion of the hand and arm into the rectum); golden showers (urination), insertion of objects such as bottles, flashlights and even gerbils into the rectum; sadomasochism (beatings with whips, chains, etc.) and other practices. The Gay Report, one of the largest surveys ever conducted of homosexual sex practices, conducted by two homosexual researchers, reported that 99% engaged in oral sex; 91% had anal intercourse; 83% engaged in rimming; 22% had done fisting; 23% admitted to participating in golden showers; 76% admitted to public or group sex; 73% admitted having sex with boys; and 4% admitted to eating feces.
There are lethal medical consequences of engaging in male homosexual behavior. These various behaviors cause trauma to the rectum; contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS; increase incidences of oral and anal cancer and result in serious infections due to the ingestion of fecal matter. Anal intercourse tears the rectal lining of the receptive partner regardless of whether a condom is worn, and the subsequent contact with fecal matter leads to a host of diseases.
Other diseases to which active homosexuals are vulnerable can be classified as follows: Classical sexually transmitted diseases (gonorrhea, infections with Chlamydia trachomatis, syphilis, herpes simplex infections, genital warts, pubic lice, scabies); enteric diseases (infections with Shigella species, Campylobacter jejuni, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, ["gay bowel disease"], Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and cytomegalovirus); trauma (related to and/or resulting in fecal incontinence, hemorroids, anal fissure, foreign bodies lodged in the rectum, rectosigmoid tears, allergic proctitis, penile edema, chemical sinusitis, inhaled nitrite burns, and sexual assault of the male patient); and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Recent studies show homosexuals have a substantially greater risk of suffering from psychiatric problems than do heterosexuals. We see higher rates of suicide, depression, bulimia, antisocial personality disorder, and substance abuse.
Several carefully conducted studies found suicide attempts among homosexuals were six times greater than the average. Is this due to society's stigmatization? A 1998 study found that if the reasons for the attempted suicide were connected to homosexuality, about two-thirds were due to breakups of relationships -- not outside pressures from society. A 1981 study also found the major reason for suicide attempts was the breakup of relationships. In second place, they said, was the inability to accept oneself. Since homosexuals have greater numbers of partners and breakups compared with heterosexuals, and since long-term gay male relationships are rarely monogamous, it is hardly surprising if suicide attempts are proportionally greater. The median number of partners for homosexuals is four times higher than for heterosexuals. Another factor in suicide attempts would be the compulsive or addictive elements in homosexuality which could lead to feelings of depression when the lifestyle is out of control.
Studies indicate that the average male homosexual has hundreds of sex partners in his lifetime: A classic study of male and female homosexuality found that 43 percent of white male homosexuals had sex with 500 or more partners; 28 percent had 1,000 or more sex partners. The most common response, given by 21.6 percent of the respondents, was of having from one hundred to five hundred lifetime sex partners. Other studies support this finding and have been published in homosexual magazines and newspapers. Typically, even in homosexual relationships in which the partners consider themselves in a committed relationship, the meaning of "committed" is radically different from marriage.
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is responsible for causing AIDS, for which there exists no cure. Homosexuals with HIV are also at increased risk for developing other life-threatening diseases. The National Institutes of Health reported that homosexual men with HIV have "a 37-fold increase in anal cancer, a 4-fold increase in Hodgkin's disease (cancer of the lymph nodes), a 2.7-fold increase in cancer of the testicles, and a 2.5 fold increase in lip cancer."
Studies of MSM (men who have sex with men) treated in STD clinics show rates of infection as high as 36 percent in major cities. A CDC study attributed the high infection rate to high numbers of anonymous sex partners: Syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia apparently have been introduced into a population of MSM who have large numbers of anonymous partners, which can result in rapid and extensive transmission of STDs. The CDC report concluded: Persons with STDs have a twofold to fivefold increased risk for HIV infection.
Lesbians are at risk through sex with MSM. Lesbians have more male sex partners that their heterosexual counterparts. A study of sexually transmitted disease among lesbians reviewed in The Washington Blade (a homosexual newspaper) notes: "Behavioral research also demonstrates that a woman's sexual identity is not an accurate predictor of behavior, with a large proportion of 'lesbian' women reporting sex with (often high risk) men." The study found that "the median number of lifetime male sexual partners was significantly greater for WSW (women who have sex with women) than controls (twelve partners versus six). WSW were significantly more likely to report more than fifty lifetime male sexual partners."
Various studies on Lesbian health suggest that certain cancer risk factors occur with greater frequency in this population. A study found that lesbians are three times more likely to abuse alcohol and to suffer from other compulsive behaviors: "Like most problem drinkers, 32 (91 percent) of the participants had abused other drugs as well as alcohol, and 34 percent reported compulsive difficulties with food, codependency (29 percent), sex (11 percent), and money (6 percent)." In addition, "Forty-six percent had been heavy drinkers with frequent drunkenness. Lesbians were at significantly greater risk than heterosexual women for both binge drinking and for heavy drinking."
Homosexual and lesbian relationships are far more violent than are traditional married households: Married women in traditional families experience the lowest rate of violence compared with women in other types of relationships.
In a major Canadian centre, life expectancy at age twenty for gay and bisexual men is eight to twenty years less than for all men. If the same pattern of mortality were to continue, they estimate that nearly half of gay and bisexual men currently aged twenty years will not reach their sixty-fifth birthday.
Child molestation and pedophilia occur far more commonly among homosexuals than among heterosexuals on a per capita basis. Since 98-99% of the population is heterosexual, it is technically correct to say that most molestations are done by heterosexuals. Homosexuals comprise only a small percentage (1 to 2%) of the population, yet account for about one-third of the total number of child sex offenses.
It is a destructive myth that "once a homosexual, always a homosexual." It has made and will make millions more committed homosexuals. A number of therapists have written extensively on the positive results of therapy for same-sex attraction. Reviews of treatment for unwanted same-sex attractions show it is as successful as treatment for similar psychological problems: about 30% experience a freedom from symptoms and another 30% experience improvement. Many of these patients have married, have families and live happy lives.
There are also numerous autobiographical reports from men and women who once believed themselves to be unchangeably bound by same-sex attractions and behaviors. Many of these men and women now describe themselves as free of same-sex attraction, fantasy, and behavior. Most of these individuals found freedom through participation in religion-based support groups, although some also had recourse to therapists. Unfortunately, a number of influential persons and professional groups ignore this evidence, and there seems to be a concerted effort on the part of "homosexual apologists" to either deny the effectiveness of treatment of same-sex attraction or claim that such treatment is harmful.
Robert Spitzer, M.D., the renowned Columbia University psychiatric researcher who was directly involved in the 1973 decision to remove homosexuality from the American Psychiatric Association's list of mental disorders has recently become involved with research into the possibility of change. Dr. Spitzer stated in an interview: "I am convinced that many people have made substantial changes toward becoming heterosexual...I think that's news... I came to this study skeptical. I now claim that these changes can be sustained."
Homosexuals who want to live chastely can contact Courage, a national, Church-approved support group for help in deliverance from the homosexual lifestyle. Courage, Church of St. John the Baptist, 210 W. 31st St., New York, NY 10001 (212) 268–1010 Web: http://couragerc.net
Homosexual activists use our tolerance for others against us, demanding we accept their lifestyle. We cannot morally do this. Accepting their lifestyle not only endangers their physical and mental health, but also their immortal souls and puts them outside the boundaries of decency. In some cases it fosters the seduction and/or molestation of children. It also denies homosexuals the joys and saving graces of marriage and the procreation and nurture of children.

CRITICULT – Telling you what to think since 2003.
Reviews, Commentary, and Fun!
Posted July 16, 2018 by Tyler	Author: TylerDFC
GLOW – Season 2 (2018)
This post contains spoilers for season 2 of GLOW including finale.
I am an unabashed fan of the first season of GLOW, as you can see here. The characters, premise and cast made it one of my favorite shows of 2017. Now that the origin story is out of the way show runners Carly Mensch and Liz Flahive are free to explore the characters even more, making this season even better than the first.
Season 2 follows the television production of the first season of G.L.O.W. (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) after it was picked up for broadcast on local L.A. station KDTV at the end of last season. Ruth (Allison Brie) is trying to suss out where she stands in her relationship with best frienemy Debbie (Betty Gilpin) and the rest of the women are anxious for filming to start. Sam (Marc Maron) is even more short tempered than usual having to manage a full crew now with the KDTV execs looking over his shoulder.
The new season wastes no time in getting down to business and showing that despite an apparent thawing at the end of season 1 the tension between Ruth and Debbie is just as high as ever. Debbie is really starting to spiral down as her divorce from Mark starts and Betty Gilpin does a terrific job portraying a woman on the brink as Debbie tries – and fails – to hold it together.
The relationship between Sam and his daughter, Justine (Britt Baron), goes a long way toward humanizing that sardonic bastard while never taking the edge off. After a brutal first episode Sam softened noticeably until by the end he's just as much a part of the motley crew as apparent leader of it. The focus on the father/daughter relationship also gives Baron more screen time than last season and she plays the wayward teen role to the hilt. Her chemistry with Maron is genuine and the 2 actors play well off each other.
Much as Orange is the New Black did after it's inaugural season, GLOW is now able to start exploring the other characters in more depth. Cherry (Sydelle Noel) is back after demonstrating – hilariously – she's a horrible drama actress. Arthie (Sunita Mani) is struggling with her terrorist character and falling for the "new" Junk Chain. Half of an episode focuses on Tamme (Kia Stevens) as she goes to see her son at Stanford on the day of the Welfare Queen/Liberty Belle re-match with Debbie, and Carmen (Britney Young) demonstrate how valuable she is to the success of G.L.O.W with her understanding and prowess in the ring. Bash is trying to juggle the needs of the show as producer while also grappling with loneliness in the wake of his best friend/butler Florian's disappearance. This puts him in the orbit of the women more than season one did and adds an interesting layer to the interpersonal relationships.
One of the neatest tricks GLOW pulls this season is evident during the shocking and anxiety loaded 5th episode, "Work the Leg". In season 1 we saw a bunch of actresses and assorted misfits learn to wrestle and pull off some fairly convincing moves in the ring. Their skills are ramped up in season 2 of GLOW since now G.L.O.W. has gone to series and they need to fill 20 episodes of TV. Early on in the season while the women are filming the TV show we see they are getting better. When the wrestling takes center stage we see that the actresses have been sandbagging a bit for the earlier episodes, telegraphing moves just enough to look better than amateur but still not quite pro. "Work the Leg" shows how far the characters have come but demonstrates beyond any doubt how far the cast of GLOW have come as well.
There are several wince inducing hits in this episode but nothing beats the horrific final moments as Debbie, completely out of it after getting drunk AND snorting coke before the match, twists Ruth's leg too far and snaps it during the live match. Allison Brie sells this moment with such intensity I was left breathless as she broke character and screamed "Debbie!" in agony followed by smash cut to credits and no music. Normally I would take a breather between episodes but this time I bashed on the Play button immediately, not even waiting for the 5 second Netflix timer to kick in. That's compelling viewing, folks.
With the next episode taking place almost entirely in a hospital while Ruth waits to get her leg examined, GLOW demonstrates how adept the writers are at capturing both intensity of action as well as emotion and dialogue. Debbie and Ruth's screaming match in Ruth's hospital room is no less compelling than the action in the ring, and both actresses are on fire as all the bad blood between the two women comes pouring out. Prior to that we have the entire cast of the show waiting at the hospital with Ruth and trying to cheer her up. It's a turning point for Ruth as she sees that for once she belongs and has a family, that G.L.O.W. is not just a TV show as Sam and Debbie keep telling her dismissively.
As great as Allison Brie was last season its her performance when Ruth is propositioned by the head of the network that should get Brie the Emmy nomination that she inexplicably was passed over for this year. As uncomfortable as the casting couch scene is to watch, her moment later when she confesses to Sam that she is the reason G.L.O.W. was buried at 2am is revelatory. My heart broke watching Ruth struggle with telling the truth and knowing it could change the way Sam thinks of her, especially after Debbie bashed her for walking out on the president and dooming the show. The relief on her face when Sam explodes with rage at the president, not her, is like watching the sun appear after a dark and dreary day. Her relief is palpable and Brie plays the scene with honesty.
Season 2 is loaded with moments like this, both small and large, culminating in a terrific finale that brings everything together while opening the door to a very different Las Vegas set third season. After a triumphant final match and season finale for G.L.O.W. with prospective buyers in attendance, the season ends on an uneasy note as the gang boards a bus to Las Vegas to begin a live floor show. When Ruth says she's never been to Vegas and Sam smirks and says "You're gonna hate it." it doesn't look like this is simply Sam being his usual cranky self. He knows Ruth now, and she probably IS going to hate it. And while she tries to brush this off as Sam being Sam the camera stays on Brie as her smile fades until all that's left is apprehension evident on her face and a cut to black.
It's a less than triumphant note for GLOW to end the season on but it feels true to the show. After all, all of these women were recruited and hired to film a TV show. Now they were on a bus headed to perform a nightly performance at a strip club owner's (Horatio Sanz) property. They are all filled with anxiety and so are we as we watch them head to the next chapter.
While GLOW is based on the real TV show G.L.O.W. its in concept only. With this ending it seems that the series may be leaving the idea behind of a wrestling TV show and moving in to something else. If that is the case I'm all the more grateful we got the brilliant 8th episode, "The Good Twin", in which we see finally what an episode of G.L.O.W. looked like. Only cutting back to the real world at the very end, the full 30+ minutes is an episode of G.L.O.W. including fake commercials, a music video, wrestling, skits, and a riff on "We Are the World" with the women of G.L.O.W. taking a stand against kidnapping, that the entire episode left me with a goofy grin on my face. It's amazing and I would watch the show every week if it was real. What makes it doubly fun is knowing the "inside baseball" for the various locations used on the episode. Like Zoya's evil fortress is obviously Ruth's hotel room with a photo of Gorbachev on the wall. Or that another scene was filmed at the burger joint that the women go to for lunch. It makes good on Sam's "Let's just set the weirdos free and see what happens." in the episode proceeding it. And they do. And it's AMAZING.
One of the things I truly love about this series is that it captures that "Let's put on a show!" theater vibe that happens when a bunch of creative people are put in a room together. There is nothing more exhilarating than creating with people that are just as in to it as you are and its the 8th episode for all it's goofiness that shows the truth of these characters is really that they love doing what they are doing. And even more importantly they love doing what they are doing together.
With what looks to be a darker turn in season three I hope the show can still deliver the occasional burst of joy like "The Good Twin". Now that Orange is the New Black appears to be nearing it's series finale (season 6 premieres July 27, I can't imagine they've got more than one more in them) GLOW has all the pedigree and talent evident to become just as big of a phenomenon. Time will tell but it certainly deserves all the accolades it's been receiving and then some.
Despite the occasional dark turns, GLOW is one of the best and most delightful series on TV. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for the story to pick up again in 2019.

Our campus plan really pursues three goals...we want student success, we want to grow our research program and we want to enhance our faculty. Michael Harwood, Associate Vice President , University of Oregon
UO | Klamath Hall Synthetic Chemistry and Guillemin Laboratory Renovations
Working on one floor at a time while fully occupied by students and researchers, this project involved crucial stakeholder engagement, intricate safety and protocol compliance, and a desire to reduce energy consumption overall.
A 4-story, concrete frame + waffle slab structure designed by Skidmore Owings Merrill Architects in the mid-1960s, the existing structural system of Klamath Hall was not flexible, and the original labs that supported Chemistry were designed around standards that were vastly different from current requirements. This goal was particularly challenging to meet, given the 60 new eight-foot-long fume hoods installed and the robust HVAC system necessary to support the equipment. The project required that the floor be decoupled from the building mechanical systems and new supply and exhaust air handlers be installed on the roof.
New laboratories are structured using a modern lab planning module that improves flexibility, adaptability, and safety. Special attention was paid to access for maintenance and to standardizing the distribution of utilities to provide a consistent safety system from lab to lab. The central core of the building is used to consolidate shared equipment and put science on display through the use of large windows along the circulation spines. This added visibility facilitates user safety and enhances student recruitment. Student work areas are physically separated from wet lab space and provide clear lines of sight into the labs.
On the 2nd floor of Klamath Hall, Guillemin Lab was renovated to study host-microbe interactions in development and disease. This BSL2+ lab works with zebrafish and fruit flies to understand how microbial communities and their hosts interact and influence one another. The lab features new casework, a modern high-performance fume hood, chemical storage, microscopy rooms, incubation, crystallography, and a dedicated microbiology space as well as offices, a computer room, and 24 student workstations. Careful attention was given to high cross-lab visibility, physical reinforcement of lab practices and protocols, and the circulation of clean supplies, glassware, and waste.
The construction of this project was completed in two phases, and was completed while the building remained operational. The University of Oregon requires a high degree of communication and feedback to multiple user groups. Some of the strategies that the team has used in this process include consensus building, lean management, pull planning, robust definitions, goal setting and prioritization, and the creation of a framework for decision-making.

On the morning I showed up outside the Butter Baked Goods café, in a borrowed BCBG dress and tinted lip gloss, Elaine Lui greeted me warmly. Her smile has an endearing lopsidedness, and she speaks slightly out of the side of her mouth, curling her words like Drew Barrymore. She introduced herself as Lainey, and then put on neon pink lipstick. She applied it expertly, without even looking in a mirror. I couldn't stop staring at it. Who wears neon pink lipstick?1 The crew asked me to stand in front of the camera while they fiddled with the lenses.
"Um, should I brush my hair? " I asked.
"You look great," one of the guys said.
We walked down the sidewalk and into the bakery six or seven times, so the crew could get a good entrance shot. She moved with the coiled energy of a small wildcat (I tried to engage my core). As we paced, she asked thoughtful questions about my work. Eventually, I realized she wasn't asking me these questions as part of the interview prep; we weren't wired with microphones yet. She just wanted to talk about writing.
Inside the vanilla-scented bakery, though, she armed herself with a set of cue cards. "How is cake, or food, and the milestones it can represent—how does it have a place in your book? " she asked.
The answer was embedded in her question: food represents milestones in our lives. What else could I add? What would she ask me next? Would I know the answer? I felt that clay-in-the-stomach sensation that I haven't had since I mispronounced "Marquis de Sade" in my honours class in cultural studies with Professor Baross.
When the camera crew packed up and left, she offered me a ride back to my friend's house. She refreshed her pink lipstick when we stopped at a traffic light (again, no mirror). I held our cake box in my lap. I felt so comfortable in her company now, I was ready to risk asking her a personal question, something that had been nagging at me all day.
Me: Lainey, are you a writer?
Lainey: I write a blog.
Elaine Lui, I have since found out, is one of the world's top celebrity bloggers.2 More than a million people read her blog daily, and she writes 2,500 to 4,000 words a day. On a heavy day, like during awards season, she'll write 5,000 or 6,000 words. For comparison? This article is about 2,800 words. I had two months to write it.
To prepare for this profile, I subscribed to LaineyGossip. Initially, I was overwhelmed by the lengthy daily instalments. Each email contains about ten stories: not just celebrity fashion, hair, and lifestyle critique, but award show post-mortems and breaking news from Hollywood. It's not all Brad and Angelina either. I mean, I didn't know who Channing Tatum was, let alone what it meant that his star was rising as Bradley Cooper's faded. Who is Bradley Cooper? Is he the one with the weird blue eyes?
I'm not totally clueless. These days, celebrity manifests in almost every form of cultural expression, from fashion to film to music to art. But I discovered that I am an amateur when I told a few of my friends that I'd be talking to Lui for this article.
Nat (TV producer): My love for Lainey is pure and true!
Reading LaineyGossip is like being in a media criticism class—except your cool, funny, chic, sarcastic, smart best friend is teaching. You show up for class early because you can't wait to start thinking about stuff. Lui articulates ideas you haven't even been able to put into words yet: why the Anthropologie catalogue makes you angry, or why that Mad Men episode felt insulting. She invites you to look at pop culture critically, and she wants you to develop your own insights.
When you break it down, it's a divorce. Two famous people who share a child got divorced. What makes it more interesting is that she clearly used the media to facilitate her exit from this marriage. So she turned a very private situation into a public discussion and then recruited the public to be on her side, making it very difficult for him to assert his will the way that he had asserted it in the past. My interest is in that play, in that gamesmanship. Because that's human behaviour.
But still, it feels funny, doesn't it? Reading an online gossip column instead of the newspaper in the morning—isn't it like eating a bag of salt and pepper Kettle Chips for breakfast? An editor of this magazine described how, on her evening commute, she pretzels her Us magazine (or, God forbid, In Touch) into a form that is ideally both readable and unrecognizable.
When I tell Lainey this, she laughs knowingly and defends the editor. "I would say that the study of gossip, the reading of gossip, the knowing of celebrity gossip, contributes more to understanding ourselves and the people around us than sports does," she says. "And nobody has to be ashamed of watching the football game." (So true. The last time I mentioned football at a literary event, I was trying to impress people.5) Where does the shame come from?
Perhaps it comes down to the fact that gossip is essentially about story. We consume stories because we want to relate to the characters; we are looking for a standard against which to measure ourselves. Ultimately, then, when we judge celebrity behaviour we are revealing a great deal about our own beliefs and morals.
"Gossip cannot be consumed without bias," Lui explains. "It's not one of those objective subjects. Everyone understands a gossip story throughout the prism of their own experience." We might be embarrassed to admit that we care about a celebrity breakup because our concern, even if it's disguised as gossip, is too revealing. Think about it: nobody has to reveal anything about how they want to be treated in a relationship when they discuss a football game.
Love and cupcakes, castles and fairy tales—is that all she is? Other than hand hearts, what do young fans, female fans, take away from Taylor Swift? I worry that love is all they do take away. Love as the only goal for girls. That that's all we do. That that's all we want.
By 2006, the blog needed her full-time attention, so she decided to take a risk and quit her second fundraising job, with the non-profit Covenant House.11 It turned out to be a profitable leap: her husband and partner, Jacek, left his job at Rogers Communications a year later, and both now work full time on the website. Lui, who turned thirty-nine in September, has grown and changed along with LaineyGossip. It's not just a blog anymore; it's a brand. She has developed a conviction about the cultural value of her work, and this belief fuels her mission.
It's an eye-rolly and pretentious thing to say but true nonetheless that writing is only good, really good, when the writer is at his most vulnerable, especially when that vulnerability means exposing the parts of himself that make him uncomfortable….
Not that all writers have to be plagued by it but without it there would be no drive….
There is nothing more stifling to a writer's creative output than telling her that she should write a book and that it will be really good or, even worse, that it will sell. I know this. Still, I have to ask: will she write a book?
1 Of course, Lainey's mouth looked totally perfect onscreen, just-bitten pink (the producer sent me a DVD). Mine looked vaguely unappetizing, like chicken giblets.
2 Along with Perez Hilton, Go Fug Yourself, and TMZ.
3 Last summer, Lainey acted as dean of the Faculty of Celebrity Studies, presenting lectures in three Canadian cities.
4 Elaine Lui. "Keira Knightley and Jack Ryan." LaineyGossip. September 18, 2012.
5 Full disclosure: my insight about the quarterback's role was based on Matt Saracen from Friday Night Lights.
6 Those are her words: "I will be a crusader for gossip!" she told me.
7 Elaine Lui. "I've Had Enough of Your Love." LaineyGossip. October 1, 2012.
10 This was in 2004, before bloggers were ubiquitous (remember when we were still using Friendster?).
11 She still volunteers for Covenant House in Vancouver. Last November, she spent a night sleeping on the street to help raise awareness and money for the youth shelter.
12 Elaine Lui. "James Franco on the Art Form." LaineyGossip. August 28, 2012.
13 I call her two months later to follow up on a few things and get an exclusive! Random House has accepted a proposal from her. The book is about her mother (known to her blog readers already as the Squawking Chicken). When she talks about the project, she sounds proud and happy, but nervous, too, and I recognize the tremor in her voice. It's the lifeblood of the writer.

Posts tagged 'Democratic Party'
by Jeffrey Hearn, posted on Wednesday, October 21st, 2020 at 6:31 pm
Cousin Aaron is a hoot. Pretty much every day he posts something on Facebook that makes me smile. Today, however, he posed a more serious question to his Facebook friends.
This was my answer for Aaron:
At the risk of taking your question too seriously, here goes … I am a political historian by training and I've been politically active for a good 45 years now, and I think Biden is the worst nominee the Democratic Party has put forth since at least before FDR. And I detest Pelosi, Schumer, and the entire Democratic establishment, too. But from their left, not their right. So, as bad as I think Biden & Co. are, I think Trump is worse. If I lived in a swing state where there was a risk that Trump might grab the electoral votes, I'd hold my nose and vote for Biden as the lesser evil. But I don't live in a swing state, so I'm free to make a principled vote for what I believe in, not caring that my candidate won't win, because, given the reality that either Trump or Biden will win, this election is already lost as far as I'm concerned. There is no winning with such a choice, only damage control.
And for me, damage control means doing as little as possible to strengthen Biden's hand, and those like him within the Democratic Party, even though I want Trump voted out. The reason why I try to thread such a needle is because I think the only reason someone like Trump gets elected in the first place is because the faction of the Democratic Party that has been in charge for the last forty years or so has so abandoned and alienated the working people of this country that many of them had long since concluded that that type of Democrat had nothing to offer them but the same old b.s. that had already failed them, and so, if they hadn't given up on politics altogether by then, they had become desperate enough to buy into Trump's con job. So, while I want to see Trump lose, I believe that the only hope we have for things to change for the better in the future is for the Democratic elites who are in the pockets of Wall Street, and all the hacks and grifters who are their enablers, to be driven out of power within the party, so that the Democratic Party can begin to represent the interests of the folks on Main Street once again, instead of taking them for granted. I know that isn't going to happen in 2020, but I just want this election to be over so I can put my shoulder to the wheel again, trying to help clean up the mess that is today's Democratic Party.

The Democratic establishment is not composed of democrats, it's made up of elites who, not unlike our "Founders" were, are opposed to an excess of democracy (which the so-called Founders considered to be as big a threat as monarchy). And U.S. political history has been a never-ending contest between the forces of reform who have sought to democratize our republic — the anti-slavery movement, the women;s rights movement, the labor movement, the civil rights movement, etc., — vs. those who defended the status quo or, worse, sought to roll back progress whenever it was made.
The Democratic Party was once the party of those democratizing impulses, but that hasn't been true for a good forty years or more now. Trump must be defeated, but our problems didn't begin with Trump's ascension to power and they won't end with his defeat. The removal from power of the not-particularly-democratic Democratic establishment is also a necessary condition for progress, if not for survival of the species itself, every bit as much as the defeat of even greater evils farther to the right are, and that's why we have to remember that even when we share a common goal, like defeating Trump, with the Democratic establishment and it's enablers, the enemy of our enemy is not necessarily our friend, and the path we take in hopes of reaching that common destination, the strategic and tactical choices we make that frustrte and anger establishment Dems and their loyal followers, will necessarily differ from that of our intraparty rivals.

The Three Republicans Who Are Running as "Democrats" in the March 20th Primary Election
by John Laesch, posted on Saturday, February 17th, 2018 at 11:12 pm
The Kane County Board is composed of 24 district-elected members (10 Democrats and 14 Republicans) and one at-large executive (Chris Lauzen – Republican). In the March 20, Democratic Primary Election, Democrats in at least three districts will have, sadly, an opportunity to vote for a Lauzen-backed Republican who is running as a Democrat. In a 4th county board district race in Elgin, a progressive Democrat is challenging a regular Democrat who votes with Lauzen for his austerity budget.
Republican Chris Lauzen has not shied away from his overt effort to infiltrate the Democratic Party with Republican candidates. There have been at least two newspaper articles on the topic. The Daily Herald reports, "Chairman Lauzen backing some Democrats in Kane Board Races." The Beacon News (Trib affiliate) hits the nail a little more squarely on the head with their story, "Lauzen helped recruit candidates challenging Democrats running in Kane County primary races."
Here is a letter that Chris Lauzen wrote to Republicans and his supporters in the district's that he is targeting to change.
Meet the real Democrats and their Republican challengers below.

Oliver Stone and historian Peter Kuznick on the Untold History of the United States from the Atomic Age to Obama's Drone War
by The Editors, posted on Friday, November 16th, 2012 at 5:29 pm
from Democracy Now!
Academy Award-winning Oliver Stone has teamed up with historian Peter Kuznick to produce a 10-part Showtime series called, "Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States." Drawing on archival findings and recently declassified documents, the filmmakers critically examine U.S. history — from the atomic bombing of Japan, to the Cold War, to the fall of Communism, and continuing all the way through to the Obama administration. Contrary to what's taught in schools across the country, the filmmakers found the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were militarily unnecessary and morally indefensible.
Stone and Kuznick also suggest the Soviet Union, not the United States, ultimately defeated the Germans in World War II. And, they assert the United States, not the Soviet Union, bore the lion's share of responsibility for perpetuating the Cold War. The filmmakers also found U.S. presidents, especially in wartime, have frequently trampled on the Constitution and international law, and they note the United States has brought the world dangerously close to nuclear war by repeatedly brandishing nuclear threats. The first episode of the series aired Monday night on Showtime. For more about this series and the companion book, we are joined by Stone and Kuznick

Ralph Nader: 30 Million Workers Would Benefit From Raising Minimum Wage to 1968 Level
by n0madic, posted on Friday, June 15th, 2012 at 6:50 pm
In 2008, Barack Obama pledged to raise the minimum wage every year once elected, but the hourly rate of $7.25 hasn't increased since 2007. Low-wage workers now make far less than they did four decades ago. Last week Illinois Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. introduced The Catching Up to 1968 Act of 2012. It draws its name from the idea that the federal minimum wage would be $10.55 an hour now if it had kept up with inflation over the past 40 years. While the bill has about 20 co-sponsors so far President Obama has yet to endorse it. We speak to longtime consumer advocate and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader.

Q: JavaScript - Function doesn't throw error when error calls another function i freak out... i can't figure out, why this is not working:
function errorHandler(transaction, error){
    alert('Error: ' + error.message);
}
function openDb7(){
    var db = window.openDatabase("Database", "1.0", "Cordova login", 300000);
    db.transaction(insert7, errorHandler);

so the errorHandler function ist never called. But if i put an alert instead of the function call inside it, its working - it look like this then:
function errorHandler(transaction, error){
    alert('Error: ' + error.message);
}
function openDb7(){
    var db = window.openDatabase("Database", "1.0", "Cordova login", 300000);
    db.transaction(insert7, alert('error inside it'));

Maybe someone knows, where my mistake is.

A: alert('error inside it') is called immediately, not as a callback.
If you want to use alert as an equivalent to your callback function you'd need to wrap it in an anonymous function:
db.transaction(insert7, function() {
  alert('error inside it')
});

A: This code
db.transaction(insert7, alert('error inside it'));

doesn't mean that the error happened ... it's actualling executing the alert so that the value returned should be passed to the transaction function, try this instead
db.transaction(insert7, function () {
    alert('error inside it')
});

if the alert doesn't pop out, it means your callback is never called

A: Your "error" object in function "errorHandler" doesn't have "message" property.

Some have already forgotten, and the younger generation does not know about the times when the only way to send a parcel or mail a post. Letters are often lost, large parcels are not taken, 'knocking' and bulk items came back. Add to this the long queues at post offices. In our time, courier service delivers us from this suffering. It quickly and safely entered our lives. Probably, she has a very bright future. After all, there are situations when you need to, for example, to congratulate someone on his birthday or holiday and get away from work did not succeed. Courier service will help you in this situation.
Courier will deliver greetings in a certain place in strictly specified time. There are other situations: to send goods or a letter to the person with whom is not very desirable to meet in person – call for help in courier. For companies, courier service – just finding. No longer need to have a special person who delivers not always safe and not always in keeping records or cargo in the right place. Can significantly save on his salary. Today is much better to deliver the goods to the carrier, you send him transport the company itself: to pay for travel and accommodation to the driver, pay for petrol at both ends, to pay for accommodation and lodging driver.
Except addition, we must at all times to monitor his progress on a given route. Much cheaper and easier to order the delivery of goods to the carrier. And in the first and second case, the important thing is not wrong in choosing the courier service, which, incidentally, a lot even in small towns. To do so, experienced people before you decide the service, go to the forum on the Internet. Delivery of goods is described in detail there, goes the argument about the pros and cons delivery of a service, the cost of delivery, as well as additional services, which provides service.

Genomic and transcriptomic analysis of Escherichia coli strains associated with persistent and transient bovine mastitis and the role of colanic acid. Infection and Immunity. 86(1):e00566-17. https://doi.org/10.1128/IAI.00566-17.
Interpretive Summary: Strains of Escherichia coli can cause transient or persistent mastitis in dairy cattle. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that cause these different type of infections is important. We sequenced the DNA and messenger RNA to understand which genes were differentially regulated between transient and persistent E. coli strains. DNA and mRNA analysis revealed that transient strains lacked genes that help protect the bacteria from an innate immune defense system called complement mediated killing.
Technical Abstract: Escherichia coli is a leading cause of bacterial mastitis in dairy cattle. This infection is most often transient in nature, causing an infection that lasts 2–3 days. However, E. coli has been shown to cause a persistent infection in a minority of cases. The mechanisms that allow for a persistent E. coli infection are not fully understood. The goal of this work was to determine differences between E. coli strains originally isolated from dairy cattle with transient and persistent mastitis infections. Using RNA sequencing on isolates grown in milk culture, we show gene expression differences in nearly 200 genes when comparing bacteria from the two clinical phenotypes. In addition, we sequenced the genomes of the E. coli strains and report genes unique to the transient and persistent phenotypes. Differences in the wca operon, which encodes for colanic acid, was identified by DNA as well as RNA sequencing and differentiated the two phenotypes. Previous work demonstrated that E. coli strains that cause persistent infections were more motile than those that cause transient infections. Deletion of genes in the wca operon from a persistent strain resulted in a reduction of motility as mearsured in swimming and swarming assays. Furthermore, colanic acid has been shown to protect bacteria from complement-mediated killing. Here, we show that transient E. coli strains were more sensitive to complement mediated killing. In addition, the deletion of genes from the wca operon caused a persistent E. coli strain to become sensitive to complement mediated killing. This work identifies important differences between E. coli strains that cause persistent versus a transient mammary infection in dairy cattle.


Easy Iced Matcha Latte Recipe | jaclyn mittman.
Confession: I might have a slight addiction to Starbucks' iced matcha lattes. If you haven't had one, you've really been missing out. About 6 months ago, I gave up coffee in an effort to better control my caffeine intake and to reduce the number of issues high levels of caffeine were causing (I'll post more on that soon). So green tea was the next best way to get my caffeine fix for the day without having to drink coffee.
Side note – did you know green tea is high in the amino acid L-theanine? This has a calming effect and aids with concentration. Again, more on that soon. But aside from health benefits, I just really love the taste of matcha green tea. So when I found out Starbucks had a green tea latte on their menu, I had to try it. And OMG. The best green tea latte I've ever had. But at almost $5 a pop (yes, I was drinking these almost daily), I figured I'd try and find a way to make them at home. So after digging through numerous recipes and dupes, I actually found out that Starbucks' version of matcha powder is a combination of matcha and sugar. Um, what? Yeah. SUGAR. No wonder why I was addicted! This thing was straight up diabetes juice! Ok, I'm being dramatic. Needless to say, I stopped drinking them cold turkey that day. So I came up with my own easy iced matcha latte recipe that's just as delicious without the insane amounts of sugar.

So I came up with my own easy iced matcha latte recipe that's just as delicious without the insane amounts of sugar.
Pour the matcha powder and hot water (not boiling) into a mixing cup and mix using a bamboo whisk. Whisk rapidly to break up any lumps. Whisk until matcha is completely dissolved.
Pour in the almond milk, sweetener and vanilla extract. Whisk until frothy.
Add ice to your cup/tumbler of choice. This tumbler is a personal favorite for lattes on the go.
Pour latte over ice. Sip, enjoy!
PRO TIP: you could also skip the hot water if in a hurry. Use a mason jar with a lid, add all ingredients including ice, place the lid on the jar and shake until everything is mixed. Super easy, right?
Let me know if you try this iced matcha latte recipe! I'd love to hear how it turned out. 😄 Also, if you're looking for more recipes, check out my delicious pumpkin muffin recipe here!

Poetry Reflections: Scraps of memory and "The Second Coming" What is Nature? (From the Biography)
A Freethinker's View of Women: From the Biography
ellenrobertsyoung Uncategorized American religion, freethought, history, John Emerson Roberts, women 1 Comment
John Emerson Roberts was "Kansas City's up-to-date freethought preacher" partly because he was an avid reader. He readily absorbed new ideas and included them in his lectures. One example of this is a lecture he gave in 1900 was called "Woman and Modern Religion."
The lecture claims that the Bible and Christianity have been the cause of the debasement of women. Like many of Roberts's lectures, this is arranged as a historical progression. He begins with recent theories about the power of women in ancient societies, citing stories about Egypt, Rome, China and Zuni tribes as fact. In each he finds a queen or a priestess with significant power. He summarizes his view of the ancient past:
"The pagan philosophy that recognized the natural superiority of woman must have proceeded in the most rational way. It looked upon her as the mother, the creator, and the preserver of man and of his world. Man knew then as we know now that civilization began with the mother. All progress in this world is led forward by the divine guide, love. Woman was the lover first; man was the fighter."
Acknowledging that no one can explain how the matriarchal era was replaced by patriarchy, Roberts goes on to describe the patriarchal attitudes found in the Bible. He declares it "the charter of masculine tyranny" and "the instrument that has forged chains for the enslavement of woman." Because of the Eve story, theology has made woman the cause of all sin. He mentions the Levitical rules of cleansing after childbirth: 40 days for a son, 80 for a daughter. He asserts, "The New Testament makes no advance toward the elevation of woman. Jesus seems to have no regard for woman."
Roberts continues his history with a tirade against the middle ages, one of his recurring themes: He calls them "a period of a thousand years that has never been paralleled in the history of mankind for its debauchery, its superstition, its intellectual vagaries, its frightful and nameless criminal practices."
The concluding section of this lecture is a paean in praise of motherhood. Roberts speaks of "the mother" but he is surely drawing from his own recollection, either of his own mother, who died in 1885, or perhaps from the example of other mothers, such as Josephine Parks, his second wife's mother, who had lived with them:
." . . .when I remember how all we are we owe to her, how in the glad and happy time she sang as she rocked our cradle, knitting or mending or sewing while under the inspiration of a chaste and holy love; when I remember how in the wayward and unthinking years of childhood and youth it was the mother whose love was never overtaxed, it was the mother whose arms were ever open with forgiveness in her heart; when I remember how she toiled and toiled that we might have a little better chance in this world than had come to her; when I remember how she grew old and white haired and wrinkled and wan and feeble with the patient and uncomplaining toil of many years and how we folded at last her cold hands in peace across the loving breast; how the smile, even after death's cold touch illuminated her face like a halo from the home of God; when I remember the mother, I can worship the best by paying the homage of my honor, my respect, and my love to the motherhood of this world."
Motherhood, as described here, was a nineteenth century concept. It developed alongside the new idea that childhood is a special stage of life.. This idealization had little to do with equality or real power. Roberts apparently did not see the difference between this admiration of motherhood and the matriarchies which he believed characterized the ancient world.
When Roberts spoke the idea that ancient societies were matriarchal was widely accepted. Later scholarship has concluded that this idea was a figment of nineteenth century imagination. The idea appealed to Roberts because it made an excellent contrast to Christian, and especially medieval, patriarchy. The seriousness of the offense, in his view, would not be called into question by the error in his starting point.

then why the church denied the permission of women to enter priesthood? that is because it would possibly undermine the lies they have been hiding for ages? i am an advocate for women's rights and it displeases me to see hypocrisies abounds even in the altars of wisdom and divinty.

6 Trends Retail Needs to Know to Beat Disruption in 2023
Financial polarization will define price tiers and assortment
Global and long-distance supply chains will undergo major transformation
Sustainability shifts from promise to proof
The geography of spending in the U.S. is shifting
The digital and physical retail world will become one
Gen Z is transforming the future of shopping. (Source: Sourcing Journal)
The three days of hype, hope and unease about a teetering economy and potential technology disruptors that were the NRF 2023 Big Show at the Javits Center in New York City, culminated in a discussion of six "transformative retail trends that will break through disruption in 2023."
In a word, according to Harvey Ma, SVP of retail for NielsenIQ, the U.S. consumer in 2023 can be described as "unsettled," which in itself isn't surprising, given the ongoing threat of recession that's been hobbling an inflation-battered economy still recovering from the effects of a pandemic. What is surprising, Ma noted, is what's accompanying that unsettledness.
"Consumers are in a pre-recession mindset, and that's one of the catalysts of fragile times, but one of the most surprising things is that all of [the catalysts] are happening at the exact same time," he said. "What's surprising is how fast these trends are rising… No matter what we believe, personally, our customers are sharing that we're already in a recession."
NielsenIQ data showed that 59 percent of the people it polled believe America is already in a recession and that 49 percent of those believe the recession will last more than a year. Among all those polled, 33 percent only had enough money on hand for basic survival needs, making competition for the middle-class dollar all the more cutthroat.
"These same [middle classes] categories we were talking about a year ago experiencing rapid boom and rapid growth, those consumers now say they'll likely spend less," Ma said. "But in the midst of this enduring disruption there are also major waves of transformation under way, altering the future state of retail."
With that, Ma unveiled NielsenIQ's six trends and suggestions to survive them.
Gen Z is transforming the future of shopping
Ma pointed out that an already distant gap between the upper portion, or "The Thrivers" as described in his display, and "The Strugglers" is only growing to grow wider. The top group does not express much concern about a coming recession, but the group in the middle called the "Cautious," and described as "not impacted financially but are cautious with spending," has increased from 33 percent of the populace in January of 2022 to 42 percent now.
But while the bottom three-fourths of the economy is feeling bearish, the upper 10 percent is quite the opposite, leaving open a lane in retail for goods aimed at a "super-premium" customer, Ma said.
So while the rich get richer, supply chains around the world will become more regressive in a trend Ma calls "deglobalization."
Protectionist policies surfacing around the world, coupled with lingering effects of Covid will have a profound impact on distribution.
"You are going to be longer and farther away from your supply chain, so that the world, rather than being smaller is going to feel like it's much larger," Ma said.
The NielsenIQ outlook also sees a future where business will no longer be able to kick the can down the road, paying mere lip service to environmentally friendly practices. This, Ma says, goes in concert with the sixth trend, the rise of Gen Z as a consumer force, a generation that will demand action on sustainability, and there will be a shift from promise to proof.
Ma shared a survey that showed consumers hold governments and brands most responsible for environmental conditions and 26 percent say that companies "make it harder, not easier to shop sustainably."
Shifts not only in population from rural to urban centers, but in the money these people bring with them accounts for the fourth trend. Ma said metro areas thought of as secondary cities become primary ones. This coincides with the rise of e-commerce and "last mile marketing," delivering practically everything right to the shopper's doorstep.
A graphic depicting the 20 U.S. cities expect to grow the most in GDP by 2035 shows the top four and seven of the top 10 all west of the Mississippi River, led by San Jose, Calif., Portland, Ore., Austin, Texas, and Seattle, with Charlotte, N.C. at No. 5.
Ma's fifth trend may be a bit ambiguous, but the notion of the physical and digital worlds of commerce "becoming one" is nothing new.
"We're all tired of the words e-commerce, omni commerce, in-store, online… but here's the thing… we're going to see the gap between the digital and physical exist no longer," Ma said. "The digitization of the physical store is happening at a rate like never before and there's positive and negative to that."
Ma said the strong performance of in-store sales originating from online interactions, in contrast to online "click-and-collect" purchasing has been nothing short of shocking.
"Online is still rolling and we're starting to see some lines of stabilization, but with the online component, the trend we found startling is the slowdown of click and collect," Ma said. "No doubt, online sales are still rolling at a double-digit rate but in 2021 and 2022 they were in decline."
The final trend, the rise of Gen Z as a buying force, essentially informs all the others. Though those between the ages of 10-25 do not have tremendous buying power at the moment, they will in the near future, and in the meantime, they are an entirely digital, social and round-the-clock audience, they demand real action on climate change, including a professed affinity for resale over buying new.
"Get ready, because this generation is a connected and continuously connected consumer," Ma said. "Gen-Z is an inspired ecosystem of 'always on' poised for retail—on demand, anywhere, anytime. They take 'anytime' to a completely new level," Ma said. "They are actually reinventing that traditional relationship between the retailer and the consumer; it's now circular. They are creators and influencers, so it's full-circle now. Those retailers who don't have arms and legs in social should want to be. Gen Z is extremely loyal, but they want to be wowed by their experience."
In his final piece of advice before much of the more than 15,000 people who attended the three-day event began saying their farewells and exhibitors began breaking down their displays, Ma told the crowd of retail industry stakeholders that success in the world to come relies on knowing and positioning oneself around three pillars:
Know your consumer, even when they're outside the four walls of your business or website.
Up your collaboration with suppliers in ways that don't include data selling.
Uphold your marketplace by knowing your full omnichannel read, and identify and address your leaks.
"These are the basic building blocks," Ma said. "The first question you should ask yourself is, does this in a positive way or a negative way affect me?"

Now that you have mastered the box step there are a few things we are going to do to play with that today.
The first is going to be starting your box on the other foot. Men will step forward with your Left foot and move to the right on the side step to begin and Ladies will step back on their Right foot and move to the Left.
Continue your box with the men stepping backwards on the Right and to the Left to complete the box and the Ladies stepping forward on the Left and to the Right to complete.
Now that you can start the box step on either foot, we are going to give you a reason to do so. Going back to the first box step you learned (Men starting forward on your Right foot and Ladies back on your Left) we are going to turn each 3 steps a quarter turn. This will allow you to do a full turn and end up back where you started after 2 full sets (R-2-3, L-2-3, R-2-3, L-2-3) or half a turn after what would have been one box previously. Any turn to the Right is called a Natural Turn.
Though nothing has changed from the original box step in terms of which foot you are placing where, the quarter turn requires a little explanation.
Before you even move your feet, begin to slightly turn your shoulders to the Right (your Left shoulder should be coming forward and your Right slightly back). This is the indication for your partner that you are about to turn and it makes the following steps easier. Starting now, as you did, with your Right foot going forward curve the forward step forward and around to the side to face the wall to your right. Complete the bar of music by stepping side with your Left foot and closing together with your Right.
Now you are facing a new direction and are about to step backwards on your Left foot. Keep your shoulders turning to the Right and your foot will naturally curve as you step back and slightly side onto your Left foot, side onto your Right and close together on your Left. At this point you should be facing directly opposite from where you started.
Continue moving forward with your Right foot again, with the curve as demostrated and complete two more sets of 3 to find yourself back where you started.
The footwork is the same as for the Box Step you have already learnt but with a slight curve on the backwards or forwards steps.
As you begin, you should feel your partner's shoulders rotate slightly to the Right. (As you are facing backwards, this will mean that your Right shoulder will feel like it is moving backwards as your Left comes slightly forward to catch up.) This is your cue to begin turning and allow that turn to influence your next step.
You will still step back on your Left foot, but now, because your shoulders are turning, you need to make the step turn with you - so the step takes a slightly arched path to move back. You then complete the bar with your regular side step on your Right foot and close them together with your Left. Now facing the wall that was to your Right you can start the second part of your box.
Keeping your shoulders turning slightly, take your forward step with your Right foot on the same arc that you took the backwards one - moving forward but slightly side. This allows you to complete another quarter turn and finish the bar of music with the step side on your Left foot and close your feet together with the Left. You should now be facing the wall that was at your back when you started.
Taking your backward step on your Left again, continue to turn a quarter on each bar of music (count of 1-2-3) for 2 more bars (on the second bar, you will be stepping back again) and then you should be back where you started.
- Remember that any forward or backward step now curves slightly. This does not mean that it should curve so much that you do not move on it... allow your turn to take the space it needs (remember the side steps will travel as well) and then finish it back where you started. Just because the end result is the same as the beginning position does not mean that you have to stay there the whole time.
- This quarter turn can be applied in exactly the same way to the Box Step starting with the Left foot. Your lead (the movement of your shoulders and body) will initiate to the Left now and your turn will move in the opposite direction. When turning to the left, you are said to be doing a Reverse Turn. Some people find turning this way to be more difficult than to the Right so be sure to get comfortable in going both ways.


Who Has The Crammed Mind?
Phil Paterson was born 1981 in the town of Port Augusta (Port), South Australia. He lived in Port for 24 years. In that time he experienced abuse and trauma, love and loss. Many of the events which happened, left a trail of destruction. He thought he finally escaped everything to gain the freedom to be the gay man he was, when he finally moved away. Phil ventured to Adelaide, South Australias capital city. Thinking he is about to have a better life, his life in fact spiralled down a lot more in terms of drugs, alcohol, homelessness and of course still being a 'yes' man.
By the time his life was getting on track, he started studying Community Services as he wanted to work with youth that are dealing with similar situations that he had been through. Instead he found himself at University doing a Degree in Social Work and Social Planning. A year into the degree he became a Support Worker for people struggling with Mental Illness. He currently Coordinators Disability Services with amazing people who are kind, helpful, professional and there for the same reasons as myself; to better peoples lives that have complex issues.
Throughout his studies, Phil was married to a man, who after everything he had been through, Phil was mentally abused which led him to a massive breakdown. He was then diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety. When he went to seek help, he realised it wasn't the marriage that completely broke him, but the past that finally caught up to Phil.
Phil put to work his skills of working in the Mental Health Sector, and has learnt to live with what he calls the 'burden'. His passion for working with teenagers is now more excelled than ever. Phil would hate to see these kids coming to his age now, finding out that they don't know who they are or should be. He himself, has only just learnt quite recently.
He now has A partner Adonis (Tony), which allows him to be who he needs to be, and encourages Phil to stand up for himself which seems to be working in his favour quite well. He loves his job, working out the people he needs in his life, and starting to finally; after 35 years to think about who is he and what he has wanted this whole time.

Q: Append data to the beginning of each entry in a 2d list I've got two lists.  One is a normal list the other is a 2d list.  I need to take 4 entries from list 1 and add them (preferably in a certain order like pushing them) to the front of each entry on the second 2d list.
I need the first four pieces of list one below
['15', '15:09 WED JAN 10 2018', 'Endcrinology', '0', '20', '0:00', '', '1', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '1']

added to each "values" entry in list two...
(0, ['Check In', '', '1607-584-4547', 'Avail', '10:48', '3', '1', '1'])
(1, ['Check In', '', '1607-584-4514', 'Avail', '10:49', '2', '1', '12'])
(2, ['Check Out', '', '1607-584-4580', 'Avail', '10:46', '2', '0', '3'])
(3, ['Check Out', '', '1607-115-4068', 'AUX', '10:49', '0', '0', '8'])

I'm already iterating through list 2 in order to shave off a few tabs that cause 1-4 element groups after the end of the "real data" like this:
    for element, value in enumerate(agentdata1):
        if len(value) != 8:
            agentdata1.pop(element)

My thought was that still inside the for loop but outside the if statement I could "push" these values onto the list.  I've messed around with list.insert and list.append but haven't had any joy yet.  Thanks in advance.
The desired output is below:
(0, ['15', '15:09 WED JAN 10 2018', 'Endcrinology', '0','Check In', '', '1607-584-4547', 'Avail', '10:48', '3', '1', '1'])
(1, ['15', '15:09 WED JAN 10 2018', 'Endcrinology', '0','Check In', '', '1607-584-4514', 'Avail', '10:49', '2', '1', '12'])
(2, ['15', '15:09 WED JAN 10 2018', 'Endcrinology', '0','Check Out', '', '1607-584-4580', 'Avail', '10:46', '2', '0', '3'])
(3, ['15', '15:09 WED JAN 10 2018', 'Endcrinology', '0','Check Out', '', '1607-115-4068', 'AUX', '10:49', '0', '0', '8'])

A: You can try this:
l1 = ['15', '15:09 WED JAN 10 2018', 'Endcrinology', '0', '20', '0:00', '', '1', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '1']
l2 = [(0, ['Check In', '', '1607-584-4547', 'Avail', '10:48', '3', '1', '1']), (1, ['Check In', '', '1607-584-4514', 'Avail', '10:49', '2', '1', '12']), (2, ['Check Out', '', '1607-584-4580', 'Avail', '10:46', '2', '0', '3']), (3, ['Check Out', '', '1607-115-4068', 'AUX', '10:49', '0', '0', '8'])]
final_list = [(a, l1[:4]+b) for a, b in l2]

Output:
[(0, ['15', '15:09 WED JAN 10 2018', 'Endcrinology', '0', 'Check In', '', '1607-584-4547', 'Avail', '10:48', '3', '1', '1']),
(1, ['15', '15:09 WED JAN 10 2018', 'Endcrinology', '0', 'Check In', '', '1607-584-4514', 'Avail', '10:49', '2', '1', '12']),
(2, ['15', '15:09 WED JAN 10 2018', 'Endcrinology', '0', 'Check Out', '', '1607-584-4580', 'Avail', '10:46', '2', '0', '3']),
(3, ['15', '15:09 WED JAN 10 2018', 'Endcrinology', '0', 'Check Out', '', '1607-115-4068', 'AUX', '10:49', '0', '0', '8'])]

A: Supposing your second list is
agentdata1 = [
    (0, ['Check In', '', '1607-584-4547', 'Avail', '10:48', '3', '1', '1']),
    (1, ['Check In', '', '1607-584-4514', 'Avail', '10:49', '2', '1', '12']),
    (2, ['Check Out', '', '1607-584-4580', 'Avail', '10:46', '2', '0', '3']),
    (3, ['Check Out', '', '1607-115-4068', 'AUX', '10:49', '0', '0', '8'])
]

And your first list is
list1 = ['15', '15:09 WED JAN 10 2018', 'Endcrinology', '0',
         '20', '0:00', '', '1', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '1']

First we separate the first four elements of list 1:
four_elements_list1 = list1[:4]

Now, there are two possible approaches:

*

*The more intuitive is:
result = []
for element, value in agentdata1:
    result.append((element, four_elements_list1 + value))

*The more compact is:
result = map(lambda (element, value): (element, four_elements_list1 + value), agentdata1)

You can find more information about lambda functions to understand it better.

A: If you want to modify the list in-place, just use list-slicing. First, set up the data:
l2 = [(0, ['Check In', '', '1607-584-4547', 'Avail', '10:48', '3', '1', '1']),
      (1, ['Check In', '', '1607-584-4514', 'Avail', '10:49', '2', '1', '12']),
      (2, ['Check Out', '', '1607-584-4580', 'Avail', '10:46', '2', '0', '3']),
      (3, ['Check Out', '', '1607-115-4068', 'AUX', '10:49', '0', '0', '8'])]

l1 = ['15', '15:09 WED JAN 10 2018', 'Endcrinology', '0', '20', '0:00', '', '1', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '1']

And now, a simple for-loop:

for _, sub in l2:
    sub[:0] = l1[:4]


The Daily podcast did this very clever thing with the audio from the women and girls who testified during the sentencing of Dr. Larry Nassar last week. You hear the voices singularly at first, speaking in clear, declarative sentences. Then you hear snippets from one gymnast, then another, in a staccato sequence.


The baked eggs worked out perfectly for Mother's Day brunch because I made them (without baking) before mom got to my house. I covered the little ramekins, and kept them in the fridge. Then, after she arrived and we chatted for a little while, I preheated the oven and popped them in to bake.
You can switch up the herbs in the eggs as well. I think thyme would be awesome! Or even use a mix of all kinds of herbs.
The cheese can also be changed, just use something with a little bit of saltiness. Or, you may wish to increase your pinch of salt if you use a less salty cheese.
I love these eggs! I make them all the time for myself. I find that baked eggs are really easy to make and give you that tasty soft yolk and the clean up is pretty easy. My favorite part, there's no sticking to the pan and ruining the egg! Love that!
Serve them with bread or toast to mop up the yolk.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots to the hot pan, and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in butter and chopped rosemary. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 375° F. While the oven heats, fill a large pan big enough to fit the ramekins in with water, enough that the water will reach halfway up each ramekin. Carefully place the water filled pan in the oven to preheat.
Butter the insides of 2 oven-proof ramekins. Divide the shallot mixture among the dishes. Add 1 teaspoon of cream to each dish, and add 2 tablespoons of cheese to each dish. Sprinkle some scallions into each dish (reserving some scallion for garnish), crack 2 eggs into each dish, and sprinkle with a little salt. Top with more grated cheese.
Carefully place the ramekins into the Bain Marie (water bath) in the oven, and bake for 8-15 minutes, until the whites of the eggs are mostly set. Carefully remove the egg cups from the oven. Let stand for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Garnish the egg cups with freshly cracked pepper, chopped scallions, and additional rosemary. Place each ramekin on a plate, and serve with a piece of sourdough bread or toast.
This looks really good. I have never had eggs prepared in this manner, I will have to try it out.
This looks really good! I am going to have to try this soon!
thank you for linking up on Successful Saturdays!!!
Looks amazing. So happy you linked up last week…featuring this tomorrow at the party.
Thanks so much for dropping this dish off at the Everyday Entrees for Around $5.00. I love eggs for dinner! I am pinning and sharing this great recipe! Thanks so much!
What a superbly, elegant flavor combo you have going on there! I thinks I'll have that & a side of hash browns, please!
