The growing number of head and brain injuries in youth football has prompted the country's largest youth football organization to change its rules regarding the number of full-speed collisions that can occur during practice. Pop Warner Little Scholars enrolls approximately 280,000 children ranging in age from 5 to 15 in its nationwide football leagues.
Young children are particularly vulnerable to suffering traumatic brain injuries. About 3,000 children die from brain injuries every year and another 400,000 are brought to the hospital due to brain and head injuries annually.
ESPN radio host Colin Cowherd applauded the decision of Pop Warner to limit tackling during practice, calling it essential to the survival of football as an American athletic institution. Pop Warner's move to limit tackling during football practice comes at a time when many parents are keeping their sons from participating in football due to concerns regarding potential brain injuries.
The New York Times reports that Pop Warner officials decided to change their guidelines for tackling during practice because of a study showing that football players as young as 7can suffer from collisions as severe as college-level players. Brain trauma in young football players is even more problematic because their brains are still developing.
The new Pop Warner rules provide for no tackling during two-thirds of each practice. Pop Warner has also banned drills that involve tackling that begins with players more than 3 yards apart, head-to-head contact, or full-speed, head-on blocking.
Cowherd characterized the new Pop Warner practice rules as a bottom-up cultural shift that will help minimize the number of traumatic brain injuries in football. More than two-thirds of current NFL players participated in Pop Warner leagues as children.

Welcome to the 618th edition of my series. I started rehearsals for our murder mystery TO WAKE THE DEAD at the Muncie Amvets. I always enjoy more independent productions when I can do them and I think this will be a lot of fun. Last week I won one of my fantasy football games and lost in another league so we'll see how this week holds. I don't have much else to say so I'll just get on with my selections.
The Pacific (2010): I start the week off with this HBO mini-series on based on a group of marines in the Pacific fighting the Japanese empire. Carl Franklin and Timothy Van Patten directed this 10 episode mini-series which is based on a real unit based on the accounts of Eugene Sledge, played by Joseph Mazzello, and Robert Leckie, played by James Badge Dale. Jon Seda, William Sadler, Ashton Holmes, Jacob Pitts, Matt Craven, Brendan Fletcher, Rami Malek, Isabel Lucas, Nathan Corddry, Jon Bernthal, and many others co-star in this film. This is a companion piece to the 2001 mini-series BAND OF BROTHERS which has the producers including Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. Hanks also provides narration at the beginning of some of the episodes. I preferred the first one but this one stood on its own and was good in its own right. Both of them showed the value of brotherhood during horrid times like these. Both of these are available on Amazon Prime.
The Last Kiss (2006): Tony Goldwyn directed this film that is a remake of the 2001 Italian film of the same name. Zach Braff and Jacinda Barrett star as Michael and Jenna who have been together for three years and after Jenna's pregnancy announcement, they decide to get married. Michael starts to get concerned for life and youth being over and at a friend's wedding, he meets a free-spirited girl named Kim, played by Rachel Bilson in her film debut, who leads him on a dangerous path. The other people in his lives are having their own troubles with their love lives. Casey Affleck, Michael Weston, Eric Christian Olsen, Marley Shelton, Lauren Lee Smith, Harold Ramis, Blythe Danner, Tom Wilkinson, and many others co-star in this film. I have not seen the original version but it does spark my interest and would not know about it if it was not for this American remake. This takes a good look at the everyday insecurities people have in relationships and one maybe couples should take a look at.
My Bodyguard (1980): Tony Bill directed this comedy/drama about bullying and I did not know I was doing a two part series after featuring UNTAMED HEART last week in which he also directed. Chris Makepeace stars as Clifford Peache who is new to a high school and inadvertently gets on the bad side of the school bully Moody, played by a very young Matt Dillon. Clifford gets the idea to hire the sullen Linderman, played by Adam Baldwin, as a bodyguard. Ruth Gordon, Hank Sales, Joan Cusack, George Wendt, Jennifer Beals, Martin Mull, also co-star in this film. Gordon is very amusing as Clifford's very free-spirited grandmother, a part she played very well with things like HAROLD AND MAUDE. This is one I had never heard of and remember him back to when he was in S.E. Hinton adaptations but this goes even before those. It takes a pretty good look at bullying which is still a very talked about subject today.
My Financial Career (1962): This is my animated short for the week. Gerald Potterton directed this animated short where a man has a hard time opening a bank account and and red tape one has to go through which was likely a lot more then than now because I recall mine not being so difficult. This is a rather simple but humorous seven minutes of a man doing something just about all of us have done at some point. This is available to watch on Youtube.
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939): This is Frank Capra and James Stewart's entry into the Golden Age of Cinema. Capra directed this political film in the style on Capra could do. James Stewart stars as Jefferson Smith who is a simple and idealistic man like being the leader of a group called the Boy Rangers. A seat in the Senate becomes open and the political people get word of his name and decide he should be put into senate but they do so because they don't think he would stand in the way of their own agenda. The idealistic Smith gets to meet his idol and childhood hero Senator Joseph Paine, played by Claude Rains, but soon discovers that his hero has been corrupted through the years and sees corruption all around. Jean Arthur co-stars as Saunders who helps the inexperienced Mr. Smith get oriented into the political world and help him with a bill he wants to pass. Edward Arnold, Guy Kibbee, Thomas Mitchell, Eugene Pallette, Beulah Bondi, H.B. Warner, and many others co-star in this film. This is a very timeless film that really every politician should be required to watch and maybe a rewatch every so often. This is one that can be enjoyed by all generations and might be a good double feature to go along with DAVE.
Brute Force (1947): Jules Dassin directed this prison film which was written by Richard Brooks. Burt Lancaster stars as Joe Collins who is a prisoner in a very crowded prison which is seen over the sadistic Captain Munsey, played by Hume Cronyn. With everything going wrong that could go wrong, Joe plans an escape to get out of the really bad conditions leading into a very violent climax. This is really quite a statement towards prison and even the movie itself clearly did everything possible to challenge the Hays code of the time. Charles Bickford, Yvonne de Carlo, Ann Blyth, Jeff Corey and many others are in this film. I also consider the most violent movie I have seen from that era. This is a great prison movie and in my opinion is the best of the prison films. This movie really holds nothing back. Cronyn is great as the power-hungry captain and Lancaster also does great as the tough inmate. The rest of the cast was great in this very gritty film which holds nothing back at all.
Living in Emergency (2008): This is my documentary for the week. Mark N. Hopkins directed this documentary which takes a look at four doctors with Doctors Without Borders that volunteer in the war zones of Liberia and Congo and struggle with their lack of resources as well as ideals. It also shows difficult choices they face everyday in these countries. These are some very courageous people that do what they do. They by no means make the kind of money a conventional doctor makes but still get a lot out of what they do. There is not much else I can do to explain this so just give it a watch if you can to get a look into the group called Doctors Without Borders and you can visit the website http://www.doctorswithoutborders.com . This can be watched on www.hoopladigital.com .
Manos: Hands of Fate (1966): After watching the new MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000, I decided to start watching it from the beginning. According to Netflix is this season one and episode one which is not true as I learned this is in the 5th season of MST3K. This is in a time when they still had their original host and MST3K creator in Joel Hodgson I'll just do the basic plot where a married couple and their daughter get lost in the middle of nowhere and end up at a house that turns out to be satanic and run by the Master and his servant Torgo. Make no mistake, this is a very bad movie and there is a reason that it has a 1.9 rating on the imdb website. Harold P. Warren directed this movie which was his first and only movie to direct and I don't know that even Ed Wood would ever direct something this bad. Quentin Tarantino actually calls this one of this favorite movies and with the quality of films he makes, I'm not sure what makes this so great to him but at least it does not effect his own film making. Before this I saw this theaters when MST3K's counterparts Rifftrax did their own commentary. If watching this, it would be best to watch with one of the two or just get a group of friends together to put together your own riffs.
A Streetcar Named Desire (1951): Elia Kazan directed the adaptation of this Tennessee Williams play. Brando plays the rough Stanley Kowalski and Kim Hunter plays his wife Stella. Vivian Leigh stars as Blanche Dubois who is the sister of Stella and comes to visit them as well as live with them when things are going so well in her life. Stanley is not very fond of his sister-in-law Blanche who has some secrets and Stella must add to her stress as she is already pregnant. Karl Malden co-stars as one of Stanley's poker buddies and becomes a love interest of Blanche. This was full of great performances and is quite the classic. In THE SIMPSONS, there was once a musical version where I believe Marge was Blanche and Ned Flanders was Stanley and I think they should write that more in depth and start doing this musical version of the Tennessee Williams story.
We Are Happy (2015): I had a lot going on this week so I decided this would be a great time to work in a short film to end the week. Matt Winn directed and co-wrote this short film. Elliott Cowan and Anna Madeley star in this British short film as married couple Paul and Sarah whose friends visit to announce their divorce making Anna question the happiness within her own marriage. This was a pretty clever few minutes and one that has not gotten a lot of exposure but can be found buried on Amazon Prime and was worth about twenty minutes.
Well, that is it for the week. Tell me what you like and dislike and stay tuned for next week which so far includes Meg Ryan, Gene Hackman, Halle Berry, and many others.

As many as 1 in 5 pregnancies end in a miscarriage. Despite it being the most widespread complication of pregnancy, it is also the least understood. Researchers at the University of Birmingham are investigating the causes of pregnancy loss and conducting pioneering research to answer the questions that haunt families affected by miscarriages.
Largest miscarriage centre in Europe
In April 2016 the University became the leading partner of Tommy's National Centre for Miscarriage Research, the largest centre for miscarriage research in Europe. Working with partner universities and NHS Trusts, we are bringing doctors, scientists and patients together to understand and prevent miscarriages.
Our breakthroughs
We recently solved a 60 year debate about the role of progesterone supplements in women with recurrent miscarriages.
We have shown that sperm DNA damage more than doubles the risk of miscarriage. Until now, miscarriage has generally been considered an exclusively female problem, with investigations and management targeting only women.
We have established a nationwide network of early pregnancy units with clinicians, nurses and researchers committed and able to carry out miscarriage research.
We are working to establish the role of the immune system in recurrent miscarriage, to enable more accurate prognosis and treatment.
Talking about miscarriage
When a miscarriage occurs, women, partners, family and friends are often reluctant to talk about it. But it may be important to talk. If you know someone who has experienced a miscarriage and you don't know how to react or what to say, you may like to consider the following thoughts from women and couples who have suffered early pregnancy loss.
Be there, and listen. Take the time to be with a person who has experienced a miscarriage. They may need to tell their story repeatedly. Show you care by your attentiveness, gestures, and eye contact.
Acknowledge the loss. Recognise that the baby not born was nonetheless real. A miscarriage means the loss of a child, no matter how early it happens.
Don't say it was meant to be or it happened for a reason. Often that elusive "reason" is what women and couples spend time trying to discover, without any positive benefit.
Don't predict another pregnancy soon. For many couples, getting pregnant just isn't that simple.
Be aware that grief brings physical effects as well as emotional responses. Physical effects may include: poor appetite, disturbed sleep patterns, restlessness, low energy, and other pains. Emotional responses may include: panic, persistent fears, nervousness and nightmares. Be there when your support is needed.
Give time. Don't try to hurry bereavement along. This only causes more pain and feelings of confusion, loneliness and inadequacy. There is no time limit to grief and whilst time does help to heal wounds, it doesn't make us forget them.
Real life impact
Professor Arri Coomarasamy
"A couple came to see me after they had suffered 4 miscarriages. The miscarriages had caused devastation in their lives as they had experienced the ups and downs of getting pregnant and then losing the pregnancy. We investigated the couple and found the woman had anti-cardiolipin antibodies, a blood condition that is strongly linked to miscarriages. When the woman got pregnant again, we treated her with a combination of aspirin and clexane (blood thinning drugs) and this pregnancy resulted in a healthy baby. Three years later, I bumped into this couple at a local supermarket, and they now had two children. They looked happy and couldn't thank the clinic enough."

Jim Christy: A Vagabond Life
by Ian Cutler
"[T]he only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars." Those words, which Jack Kerouac famously placed in the mouth of his fictional alter-ego, Sal Paradise, in the classic novel of the Beat Generation, On the Road, might easily provide a manifesto or mission statement for anti-establishment vagabond writers in general and for American-born Canadian writer, musician, and sculptor Jim Christy in particular.
Not for nothing does biographer Ian Cutler go out of his way to point out that Christy's first encounter with Kerouac's novel – fished out from a mélange of books (at three for a quarter) shelved in a section of a Pennsylvania bookstore marked "SSSEX!" – comprised a kind of revelatory moment for the aspiring vagabond. "In On the Road," Cutler writes, "Christy at last found his tribe, his family, even if a common feature of that family was to be exiled from mainstream society."
Cutler quotes Christy himself, from a 1998 volume titled The Long Slow Death of Jack Kerouac, as saying, "I didn't read the book so much as experience it." Christy immediately recognized that the book was not only "important literature," but that it also represented a map for the life of freedom from societal convention that would come to characterize his own life and work.
And what a life it has been. From a youthful flirtation with gangsterdom to a flight to Canada to escape the Vietnam War draft to work as a journalist, a film extra (he appeared as a background performer in Rocky IV), and private investigator (for a firm Christy called Extreme Research), the author has almost literally never stopped moving. All the while, he has situated himself outside any perceived ideology or political camp. Cutler locates Christy in the tradition of vagabond writers such as Kerouac and Jack London (though Christy broke with this tradition by not dying prematurely of alcoholism) and the philosophy of cynics that traces back to the Greek Diogenes. So far outside of any proscribed ideology does Christy exist that he has at various times been accused of being a "right-wing fanatic" and a "Commie dupe."
Over the course of a literary career that has produced more than 30 volumes of fiction, autobiography, poetry, essays, and travel writing, Christy has remained staunchly apart from the literary establishment, which he often approaches with an undisguised disdain. Notwithstanding the breadth of his output, he remains the definition of a cult author in his own country: few people know his name and even fewer have read him. Those who are familiar with Christy's writing tend to admire it, and those who admire it tend to do so with a fervent, driving passion. One of the joys of Cutler's book is its inclusion of large swaths of Christy's own writing (often, as Cutler himself admits, stretching the bounds of fair use). Late in the book, Christy is quoted assessing his own style: "For me, what matters is the actual sound of the words and how they all flow together – it's music to me. I can hear it. It's jazz."
Readers in 2019 who are unfamiliar with Christy or unsympathetic to the author's defiant dismissal of attitudes that have come to be characterized as politically correct might find the portrait painted here abrasive, most particularly in its espousal of a type of individualistic, pugilistic masculinity that has been challenged in recent years. And it is true that Cutler tends to give short shrift to the women in Christy's life, especially given the fact that they seem to understand him better than most people. Cutler quotes one of Christy's partners, artist Virginia Dixon, who provides a cogent assessment of a particularly egregious strain of masculinity: "At one end he needed total independence, at the other he needed a guardian angel."
Dixon also outdoes Cutler in one of the book's most piercing assessments of Christy's artistic acumen, in this case referring to his sculptures: "Both as figure and metaphor, it is very difficult to isolate matter from spirit in a Jim Christy work. Debris is easily recognized as such but cannot remain superficial when read for its own histories. … Paradoxically, these wooden characters are not wooden at all. They are highly animated, inciting a strong desire to get up close to gaze into their glassy eyes. They want to be seen, to be read with the eyes."
Cutler himself provides a portrait of his subject that verges on hagiography: he is largely uncritical and proves willing to accept Christy's word about his experiences and history, regardless of how outlandish (or, in Cutler's preferred term, "absurd") those may be. A youthful encounter in an after-hours basement with U.S. vice-president Lyndon Johnson and a chance meeting with a Russian Count, among other tall tales, go unexamined. "I have no doubt at all about the veracity of Christy's stories," Cutler writes, "even if his memory for dates and chronology gets mixed up." This attitude seems passing strange for any biographer, let alone one whose subject is so blatantly self-mythologizing.
Nevertheless, Cutler's biography does give the uninitiated a glimpse into the life and work of a determined Canadian iconoclast, one of the country's only authentic Beat writers, and a literary craftsperson whose work deserves a larger readership.

Stoughton High School
Owner's RepresentationOwners Project ManagementLocal, State & Federal AgenciesSchool / University
VERTEX served as Owner's Project Manager for the Town of Stoughton for the new Stoughton High School project. The original High School, built in 1923 and located at 232 Pearl Street in Stoughton on 20+/- acres, was no longer suitable due to the condition of the buildings and the outdated design. In January 2017, the Massachusetts School Building Authority voted to approve the Town of Stoughton's Statement of Interest giving the Town the opportunity to renovate or construct a new Stoughton High School. VERTEX was hired by the Town to manage the design and construction of the new High School. After an extensive review of options, it was determined and unanimously voted and endorsed by the Stoughton Boards of Selectman and School Committee that the most viable option was the construction of a new, 215,000 square foot, state-of-the-art, world-class High School. The new High School would be built within 30 feet of the existing school. VERTEX spearheaded the strategic planning in order to minimize the impact on the students, faculty, administration, and community to provide the Town of Stoughton with a High School that would meet the educational, health, and social needs of its students.
The new Stoughton High School was unveiled at the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Monday, August 26, 2019. The 214,000 square-foot building provides students with a 21st century building for a phenomenal educational setting including collaborative and flexible spaces, advanced technology, and natural light throughout the building. Features of the new school include the cafeteria with a courtyard, a gymnasium with a maximum capacity of 1,500 people and 1,230 bleacher seats, three basketball courts, three volleyball courts, a drop-down batting cage and a net and mat hoist for wrestling and cheerleading. Next to the gym is an 865-seat auditorium with three catwalks for lighting, a projection room, suspended clouds for acoustics, and a makeup/dressing room. There is also a Genius Bar to serve the technological needs of the students. The art wing includes a kiln room and dark room with a photo room for processing, a black box theater, and music practice rooms. Other highlights include science/lab rooms, classrooms of varying sizes, a student career center, and collaborative workspaces.

Millennials, we were all lied to. From the time we first set foot on the preschool campus to the moment we were handed that college or high school diploma. We were lied to. No matter who you are, if you grew up in the US over the last two decades you were told this lie and despite how innocent it may have seemed to its progenitors, it has recently come to a head in a frustrating, pointless and even violent way.
I don't know whether those who first told this lie actually believed it or if they just thought it would be fun to see what happens to a generation when they are all told something that isn't true. I don't think it was malicious; I think those that lied to us thought they were helping. I think they thought that this lie would somehow drive us to do great things. As I said it was in one way the largest psychological study of our time and it's outcome is now obvious.
What is this lie? You may still believe it to be true. You may think I'm exaggerating it's effects, but regardless of what you feel about this phrase, you'll recognize it. You will recognize it from teachers and coaches. You've heard it on TV and in film. You read it in comics, magazines and books. Some of us were even taught it by our parents.
The lie is this: You can do anything if you want it enough. Nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it. If you can dream it, you can do it. Astronaut? NFL player? President? All possible so long as you want it enough. You may still think this is true, but any Mellinial who wants to behave like an adult has to realize that this is a lie. I'm 5′ 7″ and no matter how much I want it, I'd never be able to beat Lebron at a one-on-one game of basketball. While I truly believe that positive thinking can take you very far, (studies show optimists live longer, healthier lives) there are some things that are simply out of reach.
Like the rest of you, I don't like limits, I don't like rules. I don't like things to be hard and fast. I want to cling to the romantic notion that the unattainable can be attained, that I am capable of anything I want to do, so long as I really want to do it. But here is the truth they didn't tell us: You can do almost anything, but only if you're willing to work hard your whole life and make sacrifices in order to achieve it. It is amazing what you can accomplish by imagining something and then pouring every ounce of strength you have into the realization of it. You can do what many thought was impossible, but you have to do more than write a thesis and receive a degree (or two) to see it happen. You have to work for it. Wanting it, dreaming it, believing in it is simply not enough. You can reach for the stars all you want they're not coming any closer you must go to them.
It takes time, which is perhaps the hardest part. Anyone can work hard for a day, but to do it for years or even decades in order to see a dream realized takes patience and strength of character. Don't get discouraged. I often hear from my peers that they thought they'd be in a different place than they are now, they thought they'd have a better job, or a better paycheck. Craig Groeschel addressed this at catalyst this year.
You will have a hard time accepting this if you are a true member of the Mellinial Generation, because the one thing we excel at is overconfidence. You may know that according to an international survey, despite scoring very low in math and science, our generation scored highest in confidence. For the past two decades we have believed that we were the best, that we are smarter, funnier, and more creative than any generation before- because the lie lead us to believe those things. The lie made us think we were special. The lie made us arrogant. In reality we are not any better than our parents- we're just different. We have different strengths and we have different weaknesses. That may be news to you as well, but we do have weaknesses.
But, thats not what they told us. I warn you that if you continue to live like this is true that you will see the fulfillment of Malcolm Muggeridge's prophecy written about the same time we were all being born.
Thus did western man decide to abolish himself, creating his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own vulnerability out of his own strength, his own impotence out of his own erotomania; himself blowing the trumpet that brought the walls of his own city tumbling down.
And having convinced himself that he was too numerous, labored with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer, until at last, having educated himself into imbecility and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keeled over, a weary, battered old brontosaurus, and became extinct.
So Millennials, what will future generations say of us? What will our children tell their grandchildren- will they say we sat around in public places shouting our anger at the world for it not bending to our will? Will they say we expected the government to spoon feed us? Will they say all of our talk of social justice was nothing but show? Will they call us lazy? Entitled? Or will they say we beat a bad economy with ingenuity and an entrepreneurial spirit? That we worked hard so that they could live in a better world- That we never blamed anyone for the hardships we faced- That we were selfless?
We are writing history and we can choose now to be a generation that couldn't face the truth or we can be the generation that showed a maturity beyond its years. And when that history is written, what will it say? It could say that we didn't rise to the occasion, that we lacked innovation, that we chose to play the victim when things got hard, that we left this world in even worse a state than we found it, that we were selfish, that our generation spent more time playing video games or rehearsing with our band than we did actually trying to better this world, that our knowledge of popular culture dwarfed our knowledge of anything useful, that we sat writing blogs complaining about each other, that we were a total waste of space and that the only way in which we were an example for our children was that we showed them exactly how not to live.
We could be that generation or we could be a generation that used our creativity in a way that created jobs for future generations, the generation that ended extreme global poverty, the generation that saw the end of slavery and human trafficking worldwide, the generation that stopped the AIDS crisis in Africa, the generation that spent more time fixing the problems of the world than complaining about them, the generation that fed the hungry and healed the sick, the generation that watched the divorce rate dwindle into nothingness, the generation who used their creativity to house the homeless and give hope to those who have none, the generation that solved the debt crisis and the energy crisis, the generation that saw the whole world get clean water, the generation who did more for the next generation than they did for their own, the generation who left this world a much better place than the way they found it. Because if we want to be that generation, it doesn't happen on accident. The only way this happens is by sacrifice.
Does all this sound impossible? We're the generation who doesn't believe in the impossible, remember? See, there is one condition under which this ideal is, in fact true.
So mellinials, we need a generation that stops believing the impossible is possible, what we need is a generation who will do the impossible because Christ is their strength. Will you be that generation?
Your Role in the Story God is Writing.

Eddie Thornton under arrest
activist of the month: Eddie Thornton from Kirby Misperton Protection Camp
April 17, 2018 by hate zine in activist of the month, environment
Last summer Hate spoke to anti-fracking activist and water protector, Eddie Thornton, on behalf of the Kirby Misperton Protection Camp, a grassroots direct action campaign group. Fast forward to April 2018 and the camp at Kirby Misperton in Yorkshire has packed up and left. We got in touch with Eddie once again to update us on the situation and discuss first-hand about the power people have when they unite.

What is fracking and why should we oppose it?
In a normal gas mine you drill down into a pocket of gas and then the pressure of the gas flows up - it's like sticking a straw into a bubble - but fracking is getting the gas out of the actual rock. You've got shale rock 2km under the ground and it has gas within its layers but you have to break that rock to release the gas. They use millions of gallons of water, chemicals, and fine sand, and blast it at incredibly high pressure into the rock, and then the little bits of sand hold those cracks open and you get gas flowing up.
Why it's controversial? You've got no control over where those cracks end up, they can connect with fractures that are already there. All that toxic fracking fluid plus all the nasty stuff that's already in the ground can travel through those fractures and into our drinking water. Nobody really knows where it goes. Then you've got fugitive emissions, so the methane that leaks at every stage of fracking - drilling, piping it off - methane is many times more damaging in terms of climate change than CO2. While burning coal at face value might seem more clean, the process of getting the gas out actually causes more climate change, so that's another big concern.
A huge concern for local people is the industrialisation of the countryside because these wells have a very short lifespan. A conventional gas well will last about twenty years, and the fracked well will last between 1-3 years, so for the company to remain in profit they're going to have to drill well, after well, after well. What you see in America and Australia is a patchwork of wells across the countryside, every 2 km you have another well and that has to be connected with pipes and roads, then you need all the infrastructure, like pumping stations and compressing stations, de-watering stations; so it's a whole, massive dirty industrial process that's going to be plonked on top of some of the most beautiful parts of the UK.

Do they tell local people they're going to get jobs?
Yeah, they say there's going to be jobs, and some people will get jobs. But what you've seen in America is that it's usually an itinerant workforce, so it actually has a bad impact on a community because it raises prices - [the workers] are young men with a lot of money in their pockets - then you get all the problems that young men with money in their pockets bring when the workers come to town. It's a boom-and-bust, so once they've 'tapped' that area, they go.
There's many, many more jobs in green energy than can ever be in fracking. In my area in Yorkshire we rely on tourism and agriculture for our staple employment and those two industries can't exist hand-in-hand with fracking. For every one job in fracking that was created in Australia, nine were lost in agriculture. This gas is only ever going to be a finite resource, so it's very short-term to think that jobs for the locals will exist for any length of time.

What are the aims of the anti-fracking movement?
Our aim is to disrupt the industry to a point where it's not financially viable, so that the people that stand to gain from it - the investors and the government - see it as an unsustainable investment and pack up. This has worked in places like Poland; when Chevron went in to frack the people just blockaded. They had a bit more of an easy time with it, the police said it was a matter between the protesters and the gas company: 'we're just here to keep the peace, and if the gas company has any problem they can take it to the courts'. Whereas in England the police are very much on the side of the gas industry, and every day are breaching our human rights to public assembly and freedom of speech.

What kind of campaigns do you run?
We're quite a unique movement because there's no structure, we don't have leaders. I think across the UK there's 500 anti-fracking groups, all loosely connected to each other, but nothing formal. Within that group there's no hierarchy to any of them so we're just a collection of individuals and the camps work like that as well. There's no plan, so to speak, of how to engage with the campaign. The camps serve as a place to live, get your head down, and eat, and from there it's up to the individual and small groups within the camp to carry out non-violent direct action against the industry. The one thing everybody is united on is that idea of peaceful, non-violent direct action, so no violence or threats of violence.
What kind of dangers have you faced?
In Lancashire they bring in riot police, they come in their big blue vans and manhandle people. We've had a broken wrist, we've had elderly ladies thrown into hedges, a local councillor's been thrown to the floor and banged his head. That's the daily aggression we face from the police, and then the security or employees of Cuadrilla and their suppliers have also been quite violent. We've had one man drive his van into a group of protestors, another man did the same, accelerated into a protester and knocked him down and he hit his head. There's a video of us on Facebook being dragged down a hill, that was by the security company employed by Cuadrilla. It's nothing compared to America and what people face in Standing Rock, or Venezuela at the moment, but for England it's quite violent.

Can you briefly describe the present situation at Kirby Misperton?
We're closing the Kirby Misperton Protection Camp after a 15 month campaign against Third Energy, a fracking company based in the Cayman Islands and bankrolled by Barclays. Activists from the camp have supported the local community in a sustained and relentless campaign of economic disruption, which against all odds, has succeeded. Third Energy ran out of money, they've pulled out of our community, and the government is refusing to let them frack until they can prove their financial resilience. At KM8, the well pad was already built, the well already drilled, and the pipelines were in place to take the gas to their power plant. If we can beat them at those odds, other communities can feel empowered to do the same.

What are the most effective tactics used by the anti-fracking movement?
There is no template for success, each campaign is different, and will be won by good people working hard in areas that interest them. What I will say about our success though, is that unity was key. And that's something other campaigns can learn from, we didn't all agree with each other, we certainly didn't all like each other, but we all pulled in the same direction and no-one tried to undermine each other.
Our direct action tactics are entirely non-violent and designed to slow down the police as they remove us from blockading the entrance of the fracking site. A staple of the anti-fracking movement is the 'lock-on' where two or more people lock their arms together through barrels or tubes of concrete and metal, making impossible to move them without a specialist cutting team. At Kirby Misperton people also built and occupied towers in the gateway of the fracking site, which required a separate police team to move. 'Lorry surfing' has become an effective tactic as well, an opportunist can jump onto a moving lorry outside the site and close the operation down until the police build a scaffold to come up and remove them. All these tactics force the police into a health and safety situation that harms nobody, but slows down the fracking company, and costs them money. But the real aim of all of it is to raise awareness. Having a camp and a large protest, lifts the topic of fracking into the public consciousness, and against the backdrop of civil disobedience we shine a light on the dangers of fracking and the lack of local democracy. The protests against fracking across the country have ensured fracking is a poisoned chalice for any government minister associated with it, and that's why the Secretary of State has introduced the financial resilience test for all fracking companies. It might be the nail in the coffin, because these companies are all ponzi-schemes built on mountains of debt.
What is the plan for the remaining campaigners at Kirby Misperton/ where are future actions directed?
Most people have moved on from KMPC now, some have gone on to other camps, others are taking a break from the trauma of front line activism. In Ryedale we are gearing up for the far larger campaign against INEOS who have a million acres of fracking licenses across the north of England. They are a Swiss petrochemicals company and they plan to use the gas from fracking in their private plastics factories.
What do you say to people who don't believe in climate change?
I ask them: when did you lose sight of the fact that you are nature? We've become so removed from the fact that we are reliant in every single way. Every single part of our lives is reliant on the natural systems that we live in but because we're living in concrete and driving our cars we've lost touch with the fact that our actions directly affect the environment, and in the long term that's going to come around and bite us on the arse. If anybody still has questions on fracking I say look into it yourself, go home and google the list of harmed people - something like 40,000 families in America - who have no water anymore, whose kids are waking up with nosebleeds and itches, and whose children are being born early and deformed - that's people living in a gas field! They say it's going to be done differently in England but it can't be, it's the same technology, you can't regulate steel and concrete, it's going to break, it's going to leak, people will take shortcuts and we're going to feel the impact of that. The people who first feel the impact of that are the children, and poor people.
How can people in London get involved locally?
London is where all these decisions are being made, so it's very easy for you guys to get involved. There's Rising Up! which is a campaign group and they're encouraging people to take action against Barclays bank. Barclays owns 97% of Third Energy - the company which is going to be fracking in Yorkshire - and there's Barclays branches all over London including the headquarters in Canary Wharf. Any action to bring the plight of the North of England would be really welcome, as you say, if it's not in the mainstream media there's plenty of people down there who probably don't even know it's going to happen.
How can people in different parts of the country get involved / show support?
If you live in the north of England, odds are, your community is already licensed. So look up your local anti-fracking group, or if there isn't one, start one. If you live in the south, there are sites that need support. Check out Frack Off online and you can see a map of all the locations. Hit the fracking industry in the pocket, change your energy supplier to a company that guarantees they have nothing to do with fracking, there are lots of good, green suppliers. Write to your MP, tell them we don't need fracking for our energy security, and demand they advocate renewable energy in parliament. And talk about fracking with your friends; 50% of the population have no idea it's even a threat to our water, our air, and our democracy.

It is generally believed that Majorana's paper  describes particles which have no antiparticles. A thorough analysis have shown that this paper gives rise to the questions the answers to which have not been realized up to now. By the Majorana equation we mean the equation that describes stable, massive, and neutral leptons. Fulfillment of these three requirements leads strictly and unambiguously to the conclusion that the Majorana equation describes a pair of stable, massive, and neutral leptons, a particle and an antiparticle. This is similar to the Dirac equation, but the spin properties of the leptons of this type differ from the spin properties of the electron or positron.

Q: Ember CLI generate component in an addon I try to make an addon using ember-cli. Here it is step by step what I have done so far:
sudo ember addon test-addon
cd test-addon
sudo ember serve

now the server runs and on localhost:4200 I can see the test/dummy app's application hbs.

Welcome to Ember.js

Its time to make some components for the addon:
sudo ember g component my-form

In the tests/dummy/app/templates/application.hbs I added
{{my-form}}
And now I'm getting the following js error:
Uncaught Error: Could not find module test-addon/components/my-form imported from dummy/components/my-form
edit
After struggling a little bit with npm, I tried it again (without sudo) and the same thing happened. I'm on Ember CLI 0.2.1. Here are my files, but they should be the same since they are auto-generated. The error is thrown from bower-components/loader.js/loader.js line 110.
addon/components/my-form.js
import Ember from 'ember';
import layout from '../templates/components/my-form';

export default Ember.Component.extend({
  layout: layout
});

addon/templates/components/my-form.hbs
{{yield}}

app/components/my-form.js
import myForm from 'test-addon/components/my-form';

export default myForm;

A: It looks like (as of July 2015, anyway) that the fact templates don't work in addons is partially by design.  Philosophically, I guess the justification is that the styling should be app-specific, but the JS logic can be shared.  Or it's just a bug/oversight.
It turns out that if you simply remove that layout line and the import layout, it will work.
So the result looks like:
<app-name>/app/templates/includes-a-shared-component.hbs:
What follows is my shared component! {{my-shared-component}}

<addon-name>/addon/components/my-shared-component.js:
import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Component.extend({
  valueFromProperty:function() { // simple hello-world-style function
    return 5;
  }.property()
});

<app-name>/app/templates/components/my-shared-component.hbs:
Hey look I'm the app-specific style for your component <marquee>Hello world</marquee>
Here's a value from a property: {{valueFromProperty}}

My versions:
Ember: 1.13.1
node: 0.12.0
npm: 2.12.1

A: And here's a very different (and IMO better, but not perfect) answer than my earlier one.
<addon-name>addon/components/test-component.js:
import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Component.extend({
  valueFromProperty:function() {
    return 5;
  }.property(),

  layout:Ember.HTMLBars.compile("I'm the addon's layout {{valueFromProperty}}")
});

You will need to add the template compiler to your app:
<app-name>/app/ember-cli-build.js:
/* global require, module */
var EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app');

module.exports = function(defaults) {
  var app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
    // Add options here
  });
  app.import('bower_components/ember/ember-template-compiler.js');
  ... other stuff...

Note that the layout property in the addon's component completely overrides your in-app template, so per-app customizing becomes more difficult.  But if you want your template customizable, you could probably use my other answer where you don't specify layout at all and just let the resolver find the template in your app.

A: One more approach I've found that works and is different than my other answers.
Let's say you've done ember g component my-addon-component in your addon.
This will result in you having a component at: <addon-name>/addon/components/my-addon-component.js and a template at <addon-name>/addon/templates/my-addon-component.hbs (at least with my current ember-cli).
You'll also have a tiny component stub at <addon-name>/app/components/my-addon-component.js
The fix:
 1. Move the component guts from <addon-name>/addon/components to <addon-name>/app/components (replacing the stub).
 2. Move the template from <addon-name>/addon/templates/components to <addon-name/app/templates/components
After 1: The import layout from ../templates/components/my-addon-component will now have a different meaning: it'll be importing from the including-app's namespace instead of the addon's namespace.
After 2: The template's import location will be in the including-app's namespace.  This also seems to mean it gets compiled by the app, so you won't throw the "addon templates were detected, but there are no template compilers registered"

Whoopi Goldberg Keeps Her Cool While Meghan McCain Loses Her Mind Over The Idea Of Felons Being Able To Vote
Bless her heart.

Bernie Sanders was the straw that broke The View's back.
The cast of the daytime talk show got into a heated argument over Sanders' view on voting rights and the criminal justice system.
The presidential candidate spoke in favor of felons being able to vote while they serve time during a CNN town hall on Monday, according to The Daily Beast. Sanders stuck to his guns when moderator Chris Cuomo used the Boston marathon bombers as an example.
"Yes, even for terrible people," he stated. "Because once you start chipping away and you say, 'Well, that guy committed a terrible crime, not going to let him vote. Well, that person did that. Not going to let that person vote,' you're running down a slippery slope."
Sanders currently serves in one of the only two states that allows incarcerated people to vote. His experience in Vermont dramatically differs from the reality that many Americans face in the other 48 states. Many formerly incarcerated people in the state of Florida just received the right to vote in 2018. NBC reports 65% of voters in the state of Florida voted to "restore the right to vote for people with prior felony convictions, except those convicted of murder or a felony sexual offense, upon completion of their sentences, including prison, parole, and probation."
Sanders' argument upset conservative panelist Meghan McCain.
"I was upset about it because… if Democrats want to drag everybody this far left, this is why people like me are so upset and so disenfranchised with how extreme this is," McCain said.
"It's not hard to say the Boston terrorist was a psycho lunatic who is a threat not only to national security but shouldn't be allowed the right to vote in any election."
McCain was also upset at Kamala Harris for suggesting a conversation about voting rights is needed. She evoked her brother and a sibling of co-host Abby Huntsman to argue her point.
"I'm trying to tell you, what Bernie Sanders said is going to be turned into a clip that will be—it upset me this morning," McCain said. "Abby and I—Abby and I didn't have brothers that served multiple times, and I didn't watch my brother deployed when he was 19 to fight this crap to have them come here and have the right to vote!"
Moderator Whoopi Goldberg presented a hypothetical situation in which the Boston bomber was released and regained his right to vote. She was trying to explain how people who are released from prison recover their rights, but McCain wasn't having it.
"Now, wait, hold on. Let's be realistic here," Goldberg said. "The discussion here was if he got out. That was the discussion."
"Then I'm against it," McCain replied. She also criticized Goldberg for chuckling during the discussion.
"Maybe you think terrorism is funny; I do not," she said.
The Sister Act star was cooler than cool when she threw the show to commercial.
"Don't do that, Meghan," Goldberg responded. "Don't do that because what—what we are chuckling at, they see me trying to say it, and then Sunny started up again and realized I wasn't going to get to say 'We'll be right back with more hot topics.'"

NEW DELHI, Aug 30: Tata Steel said today that it will operate out of the Sahibabad facility of Bhushan Steel, which it has taken over under the insolvency resolution process, as it does not want to retain the office of the debt laden firm in the national capital.
"We don't feel the need to have that office in Delhi," the company's steel business President Anand Sen said.
He was responding to a query whether Tata Steel has terminated annual rental contract which former promoter of the debt-laden firm Neeraj Singal had for the lease of its corporate office in New Delhi.
When asked as to how much the company will save from this move, he said, "No idea". There have been reports that the company may save over Rs 70 crore annually.
Meanwhile, Sen said that at its Kalinganagar plant Tata Steel has already commenced that phase II of its expansion which would take the capacity of the unit from three million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to eight MTPA.
"In Kalinganagar we have already commenced phase II of our expansion which will take its capacity of from 3 million tonne to 8 MT.
"It should be ready somewhere towards the end of 2021," he said.
Bamnipal Steel Ltd (BNPL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Steel, completed the acquisition of controlling stake of 72.65 per cent in Bhushan Steel Ltd (BSL) in May.


Today marks Tisha B'Av, a date noteworthy in Jewish history as it was this very day that both Temples were destroyed in Jerusalem, the first by the Babylonians in 586 B.C., the second by the Romans in 70 A.D. Two millennia later and it appears we'll be able to attach another tragedy to this date, the forced removal of all Jews from Gaza, set to commence this week.
This small piece of land has always been barren and squalid until 1967 when after the Arabs failed in yet another imperialist attempt to destroy the Jewish state, Israel took it over. Since then 8,000 brave pioneers have resided in a portion of Gaza. They settled in on infertile beach sand and were told by everyone that nothing had ever grown there and nothing ever would. Instead, what they accomplished was an agricultural miracle. Utilizing advanced technology which they invented, they made the sand blossom and built greenhouses that produce chemical-free bug-free organic produce that is shipped around the world and renown for its incredible quality and taste.
Saed, a 42-year-old greenhouse worker who commutes every day from Khan Yunis, said, "For me, it's a really good life. I make enough money to feed my family. I am close with my bosses, who treat me with respect. I don't want to be out of a job." Fhaud, 63, a greenhouse supervisor, said he has grown attached to his Jewish employers. "I've known my boss since he was a kid and I worked for his father," he said. "Some workers here have known three generations of Jewish families. I was invited to all the bar mitzvahs and weddings." Mahmoud, who works in the same greenhouse, said, "I don't want the disengagement to go through. Not just because I'll lose a job, but because I'll lose friends."
So Jews and Arabs working together, turning the desert green. In a sane world we would be commending these Jewish settlers for sowing real seeds of peace. Of course, this is not a sane world, for next week all this has to be dismantled and turned over to Islamic terrorists in the name of 'peace'. For the first time in world history a country is going to forcibly remove its own people and give land over to its sworn enemies.
So now that the poor Palestinians of Gaza are to be freed from their 'occupation', are they rejoicing in their independence and making plans to plow their energies into building communities and farms and schools and infrastructure? Are they preparing to serve as a model to the world that a country under Islamic law with a fresh start and no colonial 'imperialists' can succeed? Are they ready to turn their state into a free and prosperous Palestinian country?
At a mass rally in Gaza City last Thursday, some 10,000 Palestinians danced, sang, and chanted, "Today Gaza, tomorrow Jerusalem." Jamal Abu Samhadaneh, commander of Gaza's Popular Resistance Committees, announced on Sunday, "We will move our cells to the West Bank" and warned that "The withdrawal will not be complete without the West Bank and Jerusalem." The Palestinian Authority's Ahmed Qurei also asserts, "Our march will stop only in Jerusalem." Meanwhile Hamas has officially announced that they will continue its war to destroy Israel by launching Qassam rockets at Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and communities in Judea and Samaria. We're sure they'll be making full use of their new seaport to import weapons and munitions to keep the carnage coming.
What's becoming clear is how the religion of Islam is addicted to war and mayhem. Not a radical minority, not a rogue sect, but its very essence is about submission and sacrifice and proving your worth by worshipping death in this life to gain a paradise of orgies and drunkenness. Their entire history is of warfare, and any accomplishments of their so-called Golden Age has been proven to be merely parasitic off the cultures they've conquered and reduced to dhimmi servitude. That every country under sharia is corrupt, belligerent, desolate and barbaric obviously gives them no pause, except to constantly drive them into further psychotic rage as they refuse to ever accept any responsibility for their conditions. They are akin to the powers in Orwell's 1984; there must always be an enemy. It's no surprise that women are treated like property in these countries as that's the only way Muslim men can feed their egos, to dominate others rather than ever actually produce something.
What a victory for these people that their terrorism has paid off, with Western intellectuals cheering them on. You can only wonder how many youth who have been brainwashed from birth in the madrassas and draped in their culture of bomb-worship and martyrdom will join the global jihad as it now appears they actually have a chance to win. While our soldiers at Guantanamo have to wear rubber gloves when handing out Korans, it's pretty reasonable for them to conclude that the West is ready to fall and the global caliphate is a real possibility. Israel's retreat from Gaza will certainly do wonders for their recruiting.
We can only presume how the leftist media establishment will cover this sorry affair, so we're making available the Gush Katif section of our recent film Entering Zion available for free download. You can get a last look at the communities and greenhouses before they are destroyed. At least we were able to record them for posterity.
We'd like to offer congratulations to all the liberal, progressive humanitarian women's rights environmentalist anti-war protesters who have made ending the 'occupation' of Gaza a top priority. What was an oasis of life is now to become a zone of death. You should be proud.
Speaking of those humanitarians, we have two new PW videos showing what an unprogressive attitude they have towards dissent.
Operation Enemy Enlightenment was a little street rumble with some protesters, culminating in one of them admitting his desire for Communism to rise again. And over in Amsterdam, Dutch-PW protested an anti-Bush rally with the predictable results of having their signs ripped down. We're sure the EU will be prosecuting the protesters for hate crimes.
We'd also like to call your attention to a counter-protest to ANSWER's mass rally this September 24th in Washington D.C. Aptly titled Operation Defend the White House, PW will be there with other groups to counter the radical mob that is showing up demanding the President's removal from office. For details go to www.defendthewhitehouse.org.
The way things are going in the Middle East, we may soon have to accept the reality that the global alliance of Islamic Jihad and the Socialist Left will not allow freedom to be vindicated. With Iran and North Korea building nuclear bomb factories, China on its way to becoming a military superpower, and Russia falling back towards authoritarianism, a weak and depleted United States will only be a recipe for these states to wage global war. The time is upon us to break out the Sun Tzu and bring the troops home. We've removed the WMD threat of their megalomaniac tyrant and given the people of Iraq control of their own destiny. It's now up to them if they want to be free or be another Islamic slave state.


In response to defendant's "best offer of $750,000" conveyed during a private caucus, the plaintiff turned to the mediator and said, "I'm going tell you something I haven't even told my own attorney." It was a pin drop moment. Everyone was all ears. Plaintiff's attorney turned stiffly toward his own client with the look of someone bracing for hard news. The defendant's offer was favorable. It was the result of a long day of contentious yet arms length negotiations. There had been many moments of extended breath holding and tension, but now the offer was in a ballpark some plaintiffs may have found appealing. Then, for what seemed like an eternity, there was silence.
The plaintiff gathered himself and, when he finally broke his silence, he confided with great sincerity, "Last night I prayed, and God told me not to take a penny less than $1 million."
Feeling like a deer caught in the headlights does not begin to describe this moment. For the mediator, it felt like being thrust somewhere between the proverbial rock and a hard place. A bombshell, an obstacle of enormous proportion had just been dropped into the mediation and the feeling of being stuck was momentarily overwhelming.
Beliefs and values are generally considered to be non-negotiable. What good would it do to question or challenge the plaintiff's faith-based estimation of the settlement value? Scanning the long-term memory banks from mediation training, was there a technique for this type of situation? If so, it was not coming to mind right away. Along with these feelings, the bubble over the mediator's head was filled with questions, "Am I hearing what I think I'm hearing? Does the Almighty get involved in the everyday business of case evaluation? Is this plaintiff being sincere and genuine--or is this some kind of tactic? What is the plaintiff's attorney reaction in response to this news? How can I handle this type of comment without confronting the plaintiff and challenging his beliefs? Is there a way to respect plaintiff's faith and still move the process toward resolution?"
In the sweep of the moment, a path began to take shape in the mediator's mind. Without any fixed ideas of where it would lead, the mediator acknowledged the plaintiff's statement, "I can see that you sincerely believe the case is worth $1 million." The plaintiff nodded.
The mediator continued, "If the case can't be resolved today during mediation and it goes across the street to the courthouse, that's a man-made system of justice where a jury made up of everyday people will decide your case. People like your neighbors and friends, with all the flaws and limitations of ordinary people. It's hard for them to put a single number on a case and it's also hard to predict what they'll do with your particular case."
Highlighting the practical versus the providential nature of the legal system, the mediator framed a question carefully, "Given the alternatives, do you think there's any guarantee of doing better than $750,000 at trial, in the man-made system of justice?"
Another long silent pause. Exhaling audibly and sinking noticeably into his chair, the plaintiff looked at his attorney, then answered quietly, "No, not really."
Recognizing the plaintiff's right to make final decisions regarding settlement, the mediator inquired further, "So, what would you like to do at this point?"
"I'll take the $750,000," the plaintiff conceded. He was visibly at peace with his decision as he relaxed into his chair and resumed normal breathing, for perhaps the first time in the past several hours of mediation.
Using acknowledgment ("I can see that you sincerely believe the case is worth $1 million") and a BATNA analysis (asking the plaintiff to predict what might happen at trial) were key stepping stones in the process. The mediator did not challenge the plaintiff's sincerity or his faith, both of which were respected and recognized. Even after the breakthrough when the plaintiff conceded that there were no guarantees of doing better at trial, the plaintiff was asked for his final decision regarding acceptance of the pending settlement offer, thereby preserving his right to self-determination. The plaintiff was able to hold onto his personal and religious beliefs. At the same time he was invited to take a close look at his alternatives to a negotiated settlement and to come to terms with those alternatives himself.
Concededly, at every turn, the mediation may have gone in different directions, including the final issue of whether this particular plaintiff would accept the settlement offer of $750,000. Yet, once again, the power of a BATNA analysis was confirmed and a seemingly non-negotiable belief was managed in a way that the plaintiff never felt disbelieved, coerced, threatened or personally challenged. The fundamental skills of negotiation and mediation triumphed, this time in unexpected ways and in a unique situation.

Mayweather / Pacquiao: At Last
To truly appreciate where we are, this HBO epic starts right at the very beginning, on an island on the other side of the world, were we see the streets a boy would once sat for hours, peddling whatever he could find for spare change, desperate to find a way out. This was the case at least until he discovered a better way, a way that would eventually take him straight to the top, turning a man into a miracle through the sport of boxing.
In Mayweather's case, he too came from streets with little promise but were the craft was a family business, a comfort for conflict was embedded in his blood. Fame and fortune in view at much closer range, but from these contrasting origins in the early years of the 21st century, twin superstars were born, propelled by a belief in very different deities, guided by sages of very different dispositions, they circled each other as fighters tend to do, both tantalising but testing our patience until at last boxings latest miracle arrived.

Why call an agency that will only look at one company?
Gary K. Marshall Agency will compare your current policy with the areas leading companies and find you not only the best coverage but the best price as well. As an independent agency we work for you and you can depend on us to be here if you have a loss.
This coverage pays for the treatment of injuries to the driver and passengers of the policyholder's car.
At its broadest, PIP can cover medical payments, lost wages and the cost of replacing services normally performed by someone injured in an auto accident. It may also cover funeral costs.
This coverage pays for damage to your car resulting from a collision with another car, object or as a result of flipping over. It also covers damage caused by potholes. Collision coverage is generally sold with a deductible of $250 to $1,000-the higher your deductible, the lower your premium.
Even if you are at fault for the accident, your collision coverage will reimburse you for the costs of repairing your car, minus the deductible. If you're not at fault, your insurance company may try to recover the amount they paid you from the other driver's insurance company. If they are successful, you'll also be reimbursed for the deductible.
Comprehensive insurance is usually sold with a $100 deductible, though you may want to opt for a higher deductible as a way of lowering your premium.
Non-renewal is a different matter. Either you or your insurance company can decide not to renew the policy when it expires. Depending on the state you live in, your insurance company must give you a certain number of days notice and explain the reason for non-renewal before it drops your policy.
If you think the reason is unfair or want a further explanation, call the insurance company's consumer affairs division. If you don't get an explanation, call your state insurance department.

Junkbot is a robot in Automatron.
The humble Protectron is a capable combatant thanks to a combination of good armor plating, weapons, and special attacks. It is a capable ranged combatant, but suffers somewhat in melee combat. Its legs are the slowest of any pre-war robot type. The Mechanist's custom robots defy the usual expectations, as they are stronger and better armed than other variants.


When I was a kid, we sometimes had silverbeet thrust upon us and it was always that dark green bobbly leafed Fordhook Giant that was dished up. How it set my teeth in edge! No more. Now I grow the delightfully mild and tender Lucullus. Its almost chartreuse leaves look a treat in the garden, especially when grown with a beautiful lettuce like Red Velvet at its feet, or against a backdrop of purple perilla. The veg garden should be a feast for the eyes.


Essendon has reportedly entered the race to sign Port Adelaide's Hamish Hartlett.
Hartlett, who is contracted until 2020, is understood to be open to a trade after a disappointing year at the Power, according to the Herald Sun.
The Suns have also shown interest in Hartlett, however, he is believed to prefer a move to a Victorian club if he does leave Alberton.
Port Adelaide is also reportedly open to parting ways with Hartlett in order to regenerate their under performing list.
The Power will demand at least a high first round selection for Hartlett, after rejecting an offer of two first round picks for the former top-five selection last year.
The 26-year-old was selected with pick No.4 in the 2008 National Draft and has played 127 games with the Power in eight seasons.
He averaged 18.2 disposals, 6.7 contested possessions, 4.1 marks, 4.5 tackles, 2.5 inside 50s and 3.9 score involvements per game in 2016.
Wouldn't use pick 1 on either.
They're using the word 'star' a bit loosely these days!!
Wouldn't call him a star.
Daniel Zoch I like this!!
goddard and hartlett in the same team … some attitude there !
Jude Newton this would be so good, love this guy!
Who's spot does he take though, where does he play?
Do you work for Essendon?
Yep pick 1 for hammer. Do it.
Well if they want a high 1st rounder, he won't be going to Essendon unless they make a trade to get another top 10 pick. Suns have them to burn with 4,9 and probably 6.

OPINION: Biden's LGBTQ+ executive order can only protect us so much
President Joe Biden was inaugurated Jan. 20, and he wasted no time in fixing the mess of the past four years. Under former President Donald Trump's administration, rights and protections for the LGBTQ+ community were stripped away carelessly. From banning transgender people in the military to legalizing sexual orientation-based discrimination, many were left wondering if Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized gay marriage in 2015, would be overturned next.
