Top 5 Boom or Bust Prospects
On June 22, 2018 August 7, 2018 By tank2winIn Opinion
1. Lonnie Walker
Photo: https-//www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/Lonnie-Walker-Scores-25-as-Miami-Beats-Louisville-in-Overtime-471055783
Lonnie Walker's is full of contradictions. On offense, he has a smooth jumper with compact mechanics, but only shot a meager 41% from the field and 34% from 3 on the year. He was only in the 22nd percentile in guarded catch and shoot jumpers and 29th percentile in pull-ups. He dazzled scouts with his one-on-one scoring but hasn't developed a reliable enough handle to get to the places he needs. He has shown flashes of brilliance throughout the year but was unable to maintain it for extended periods of time. He exudes the confidence of a seasoned veteran but is prone to taking wild, inefficient shots. Walker's duality is simply fascinating, enigmatic, and polarizing all at the same time. With that being said, a lot of Walker's subpar production can be pinned on circumstance and should, therefore, be taken with a pinch of salt. He had a meniscus tear in the preseason and was surrounded by a supporting cast deprived of Bruce Brown, their primary playmaker. An up and down season combined with unreliable production didn't stop the Spurs from taking him 19th overall, but it definitely makes his game harder to assess.
2. Mitchell Robinson

Mitchell Robinson has completely embraced his mystery man status by not only forgoing his sophomore year at Western Kentucky but also skipping the pre-draft combine. While Robinson's choice to hide his seemingly freakish measurements and athleticism from NBA GMs might seem counter-intuitive, he was at point projected to go 17th to the bucks. In a way, it's a testament to the league's infatuation with leaping ability and long limbs. But Robinson still has a long way to go from fulfilling his theoretical potential. For one thing, getting suspended by his team raises red flags about his maturity. He has never tested his talents against legitimate competition nor has he had the chance to run the college gauntlet and experience the fine tuning of skills that come with it. Needless to say, he is raw and it is impossible to get a clear evaluation of his skill set. Under the right circumstances with the Knicks, however, Robinson definitely has all the tools to become the next lob-catching, high energy, Clint Capela-esque big man that so many teams nowadays are looking for.
3. Miles Bridges

So much of Miles Bridge's depends upon his versatility: A versatility that he does not necessarily possess. Bridges is a weird cross-breed between a wing and a big man, possessing the best, and worst, of both worlds. His strong and beefy physique (6-6, 230lbs, 6-9.5 wingspan) draws comparisons to that of Houston forward PJ Tucker (6-5, 225lbs, 6-9 wingspan). Tucker bulldozed his way to a starting spot for the Rockets this year and was often deployed at the center or both forward positions during the playoffs. However, despite his positional versatility, his meager 39% shooting from the field shows how he was often outmatched by bigger, longer NBA big men on drives and post looks. Bridges faces the same dilemma of being that undersized small ball 4. His shooting also presents a big question mark. Although he has improved his free throw percentage from a paltry 68% from freshman year (eerily reminiscent of Justise Winslow) to a quality 85%, his three-point percentage has dropped from 39% to 36%. Seeing as Bridges projects as more of a complimentary slasher and floor spacer without much of a post-game, his shooting will be the make or break factor in his success at the next level.
4. Mo Bamba
Photo: https-//www.aseaofblue.com/2018/4/29/17292198/uk-recruit-mo-bamba-would-have-preferred-going-straight-to-nba
It's not difficult to spot what makes Mo Bamba appealing. He has the longest recorded wingspan (7-10) of any prospect in this millennium. He can reportedly run a faster ¾ court sprint (3.04 seconds) than Russell Westbrook (3.08), Dwyane Wade (3.08), James Harden (3.13), and John Wall (3.14). And he fixed his jump shot? All of that being said, Bamba's reliance on length and lack of a discernable offensive skillset still make his true NBA value very unpredictable. There are fears about his defense — that he relies a bit too much on his wingspan and not enough on engaged, positional defending. At 216lbs, Bamba was just an average post defender at Texas, allowing 0.83 PPP (50th percentile). His offensive game, other than the occasional rim run or dump pass, seems pretty non-existent as well. What's even more concerning is the lack of motor on both ends of the court, which usually helps more defensive minded players negate offensive shortcomings. While Bamba's defensive upside arguably outweighs all of the above, the Magic have to seriously consider the potential implications of drafting length for the sake of length. It would be nice to avoid another Hasheem Thabeet.
5. Dzanan Musa
Photo: https-//www.nba.com/nets/news/draft/2018/brooklyn-nets-draft-prospect-dzanan-musa
Dzanan Musa almost fits too well into the Lou Williams/Jamal Crawford prototype. He is a 6-8, high energy swingman who possesses a scorer's instincts and a love for lulling his defender's to sleep with bevies of crossovers and between the leg moves. He shoots the ball with confidence and resolve, best reflected by his tendency to make tough step backs outside the three and floaters in the lane. But while his talent and creativity are undeniable, it's difficult to measure how well his skill set will translate to the NBA. First and foremost, Musa plays against pretty mid-level competition in the Adriatic league. Furthermore, Musa's wild, no-filter style of play combined with a thin frame (187lbs) and a hunched posture yields inconsistent results on both ends of the floor. Due to a lack of explosiveness, he often fails to create separation against longer more athletic players, instead settling for inefficient pull-up threes. He also seems to have the ball in his hands a little too much and will chuck up bad shots more often than one would like. Against more physical opponents in the NBA and a much more controlled game environment, Musa will not have the freedom to operate with the ball as he pleases in the new-look Nets offense. His success will depend on how well he will be able to adjust.

Gaia hypothesis
The study of planetary habitability is partly based upon extrapolation from knowledge of the Earth's conditions, as the Earth is the only planet currently known to harbour life The Gaia hypothesis, also known as Gaia theory or Gaia principle, proposes that organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a self-regulating, complex system that contributes to maintaining the conditions for life on the planet. Topics of interest include how the biosphere and the evolution of life forms affect the stability of global temperature, ocean salinity, oxygen in the atmosphere and other environmental variables that affect the habitability of Earth. Introduction[edit] Less accepted versions of the hypothesis claim that changes in the biosphere are brought about through the coordination of living organisms and maintain those conditions through homeostasis. In some versions of Gaia philosophy, all lifeforms are considered part of one single living planetary being called Gaia.

Greek Gods Family Tree Doing homework? Your teacher has already seen this. See Theoi; it has properly-sourced information. Known errors: Generally inconsistent sourcing. This chart was made in 2004, and Wikipedia was treated as a primary source. Mother goddess Mother goddess is a term used to refer to a goddess who represents and/or is a personification of nature, motherhood, fertility, creation, destruction or who embodies the bounty of the Earth. When equated with the Earth or the natural world, such goddesses are sometimes referred to as Mother Earth or as the Earth Mother. Many different goddesses have represented motherhood in one way or another, and some have been associated with the birth of humanity as a whole, along with the universe and everything in it. Others have represented the fertility of the earth.
Silent Spring Silent Spring is an environmental science book written by Rachel Carson and published by Houghton Mifflin on September 27, 1962.[1] The book documented the detrimental effects on the environment—particularly on birds—of the indiscriminate use of pesticides. Carson accused the chemical industry of spreading disinformation and public officials of accepting industry claims unquestioningly. In the late 1950s, Carson turned her attention to conservation, especially environmental problems that she believed were caused by synthetic pesticides. The result was Silent Spring (1962), which brought environmental concerns to the American public. Night of Pan Within the system of Thelema, the Night of Pan, or N.O.X., is a mystical state in the process of spiritual attainment.

The Guide to Eco-Friendly Backpacking Travel Many of us try to lead eco-conscious lifestyles at home – reducing the amount of packaging we throw away, recycling when possible, and eating responsibly-sourced food. However, staying green while you're on the road is easier said than done – but really there's no reason you shouldn't be able to enjoy yourself while travelling without harming the environment. If you've finally decided to take the big plunge to explore your chosen destination, it'll most likely be an exotic and far-flung place and flying there will be inevitable.
Greek Mythology: FAMILY TREE OF THE GREEK GODS The complete family tree of the gods is displayed over eight indexed charts. The basic structure follows Hesiod's Theogony, but that author's genealogies have been expanded with a plethora of additional gods, spirits and creatures sourced from other classical sources. Where there is disagreement amongst ancient writers as to the genealogy of a certain character, the oldest and/or most popular source has been selected for the chart.
Gaia (Greek Mythology) The Greek word γαῖα (transliterated as gaia) is a collateral form of γῆ[4] (gē, Doric γᾶ ga and probably δᾶ da)[5] meaning Earth,[6] a word of uncertain origin.[7] R. S. P. Beekes has suggested a Pre-Greek origin.[8] In Mycenean Greek Ma-ka (trans. as Ma-ga, "Mother Gaia") also contains the root ga-.[9][10] According to Hesiod, Gaia conceived further offspring with Uranus, first the giant one-eyed Cyclopes: Brontes ("Thunder"), Steropes ("Lightning") and Arges ("Bright");[16] then the Hecatonchires: Cottus, Briareos and Gyges, each with a hundred arms and fifty heads.[17] As each of the Cyclopes and Hecatonchires were born, Uranus hid them in a secret place within Gaia, causing her great pain.

The 10 Most Puzzling Ancient Artifacts The Bible tells us that God created Adam and Eve just a few thousand years ago, by some fundamentalist interpretations. Science informs us that this is mere fiction and that man is a few million years old, and that civilization just tens of thousands of years old. Could it be, however, that conventional science is just as mistaken as the Bible stories? There is a great deal of archeological evidence that the history of life on earth might be far different than what current geological and anthropological texts tell us. Consider these astonishing finds: The Grooved Spheres
Speed up your torrents II BitTorrent is the best tool for sharing files but you need to configure your client and your network the right way to get the best out of it. I will list some tips, tricks and guidelines in addition to the "speed up your torrents" and the "speed up bitcomet and uTorrent" posts. In order to apply these tips you need to know your maximum up- and download speed. Sumerian cuneiform script and Sumerian language Sumerian was spoken in Sumer in southern Mesopotamia (part of modern Iraq) from perhaps the 4th millennium BC until about 2,000 BC, when it was replaced by Akkadian as a spoken language, though continued to be used in writing for religious, artistic and scholarly purposes until about the 1st century AD. Sumerian is not related to any other known language so is classified as a language isolate. Sumerian cuneiform Sumerian cuneiform is the earliest known writing system.

A web was seen hanging on my railing. I could not see any insect nearby. The insect had woven the web at night probably and had vanished with the dawn.
I carefully fixed the web on the slide as it was swaying with the breeze. On looking through a foldscope, a mesh of entangled fibers was seen. I tried to look at the fibers through a polarized film also.

Foreign News: Out of the Mouths of Babes
Britain's babies, of whom there are more now than for 20 years,* are running short of rubber. Last week, dour, determined Laborite James Murray told an attentive House of Commons: "I have a letter from a woman who has given birth to twins. She is unable to feed these two children. She has four bottles in the house with only one nipple."
Members snickered. Snapped Murray: "It is nothing to laugh about! What is the Minister going to do about it?"
Oliver Lyttelton, President of the Board of Trade and Production Minister, rose elegantly. Rubber, he said, would be released for nipples, but...


Our children absolutely love music, they love listening to it, participating in it - and dancing to it. They did all three in the company of Terry and Edward who generously gave a whole morning to inspiring and entertaining a group of enthusiastic facilitators and children. We all had a complete blast and ended off the year with joy in our hearts and music in our ears.
It was also the occasion for gifts – for the children there were donated copies of Book Dash books to take home with them (or, in some cases, read on the spot). For the people who make the workshops possible – the adults who give so much time and thought to workshops, there were commemorative 'Dancing Child' medals made by local bead workers.

A: Your second issue is related to you redefining the register post route to the wrong controller method.
Delete this from your routes
Route::post('register', 'RegisterController@create');

Auth::routes already defines the register routes
$this->get('register', 'Auth\RegisterController@showRegistrationForm')->name('register');
$this->post('register', 'Auth\RegisterController@register');

As for the logout issue. The default logout action redirects the users to the base url /. The logout route and controller comes with laravel, so there should be no issues unless you've changed them. Try running composer dump-autoload and check if you're continuing to receive the errors.

Scarlet and Gray Memories D-128 Charles Smiley Presents
4.3 of 5 (3)
Scarlet and Gray Memories - Join us for a look back at the SP in the 1990s and in earlier views of the 1970s. See Coastline action along SoCal shores with mainline and local freight trains. Visit White Hills, Lompoc and Santa Paula branch lines and follow the venerable Saugus Local and see its efficient crew keep schedules for freight customers on Metrolink's busy Saugus Line that was bought from SP. We bring nostalgic SP action in the Tehachapis with lumber, oil-can, coal-drags and general freight. Remember the days when 5 front and 5 back were the "norm". See the SP power that has been taken away by the 1996 UP-SP merger that has erased so much of the past. More action and views from the San Fernando Valley, Cajon Pass and Beaumont Hill bring you a SP that you can fondly remember. These are the missing views that define the SP to every fan that misses the railroad that built California into the giant economy that remains today. Lots of fun and lots of older SP power that went away from the scene. The vintage film scenes include sugar beet trains, lumber drags and early GE U-25, and U-33 power that has long since vanished from the SP. The Bakersfield Yard scenes are compared from 1993 and way back in 1971. See old ALCO and EMD power in SP's finest days when units were clean and without graffiti. Don"t miss this video!

We have verified that this reviewer has purchased this item from Train Video Depot because this reviewer is a member of our loyalty program and was signed in when they purchased the item and when they left the review.
So far this is my favorite CSP video of the SP. It's a very enjoyable look at the almost pre-merger SP in southern California in the early-mid 1990's, though some nice 1970's vintage movies round it out. Mainline, branch line, and everything in between. What I liked most was wonderful videography that showcased the trains and scenery in perfect context and making the most of lineside objects...it's shot after shot of pleasure to the eyes and ears. The narration was well timed and unobtrusive...a big plus with me, and of course the usual maps/graphics are a big help, which I have found to be a usual CSP hallmark.
Additional remarks by MP_37:
Would kids enjoy this? Maybe.
Image quality: Good.
Recommend to others? Definitely.

This DVD was Fantastic. If Charles Smiley had made all of his DVD series on the SP Like this one, WOW!!! There was just enough narration explining what we were about to see, just enough music to make transitions, and the maps were a nice touch as well. It was just perfect unlike some of the other DVD`s that CS has made that feature overdone narration that sounds like one of my old college professors delivering a lecture. Another thing I liked about this DVD? plenty of audio sound of the trains. This is a must have for all who love the now long gone Southern Pacific. Buy it by all means.

Scarlet and Gray Memories is an excellent look at SP before its absorption by UP. I truly enjoyed seeing the now-disappeared F-units, the PAs, and the old Geeps in Redwings paint (and some in Kodachrome and Black Widow as well!)
I can easily forgive the old, sometimes grainy video for such special coverage.
I wish there had been more coverage outside of California--SP went lots further east, into Texas and Louisiana. And I would have enjoyed more footage of switchers at work.

Tatqiq is a 13 year old polar bear who lives at the San Diego Zoo. She is one of my favorites because she has such a wonderful personality. Tatqiq and her brother Kalluk were orphaned at a very young age when their mother was killed by a hunter in Alaska. After being rescued, the cubs were brought to the San Diego Zoo where they continue to thrive, entertain guests, and educate us about the plight of the polar bear.

Q: How to keep iphone screen on in Phonegap 1.0? I'm trying to keep the iphone screen on while my app's running. I followed this post:
phonegap, iphone and the big bad idleTimerDisabled
and did something like this in PhoneGapDelegate.m:
-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
        didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  // existing code ...
  application.idleTimerDisabled = YES; // I added this line
  return YES;   // existing code
}

but it didn't work.
I also tried this approach: http://groups.google.com/group/phonegap/browse_thread/thread/5eeace5c416719ec/d7180ef5a3a9081d?lnk=gst&q=lock#d7180ef5a3a9081d
but it didn't work either.
Could anybody give me some suggestions? Thank you!
UPDATE: Thank you all! It turns out I was changing the wrong fil(PhoneGapDelegate.m). applicationdidfinishlaunching method in that file is never invoked. The file to be changed is AppDlegate.m.

A: There is a phonegap plugin available on github
It allows to set and reset the "idletimerdisabled" directly from the .js. It's also cleaner since you don't modify your phonegap code and will also work on android.

A: According to this question: iOS: How to stop the device standby timer? all you need to do is:
-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication*)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary*)launchOptions {
    [application setIdleTimerDisabled:YES];
    return YES;
}

Be sure you add this before the return YES; line to be sure it executes.
Apple recommends you only use this as-needed:

Important: You should set this property only if necessary and should be sure to reset it to NO when the need no longer exists. Most applications should let the system turn off the screen when the idle timer elapses. This includes audio applications. With appropriate use of Audio Session Services, playback and recording proceed uninterrupted when the screen turns off. The only applications that should disable the idle timer are mapping applications, games, or similar programs with sporadic user interaction.

However
According to this post: Phonegap, iphone - applicationDidFinishLaunching not invoking PhoneGap does not call this function, due to the Xcode project file.
Based on what the answers say, I would try implementing the following function as well, into your app delegate:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
    [application setIdleTimerDisabled:YES];
}

A: I found the following working for me:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{

    NSArray *keyArray = [launchOptions allKeys];
    if ([launchOptions objectForKey:[keyArray objectAtIndex:0]]!=nil)
    {
        NSURL *url = [launchOptions objectForKey:[keyArray objectAtIndex:0]];
        self.invokeString = [url absoluteString];
    }

    application.idleTimerDisabled = NO;
    application.idleTimerDisabled = YES;

    return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
}


You look ahead into your week… you know all the appointments all the things which you have to get done.
Those lines you will wait in….
those people who will be put in your path….
Each encounter is aligned for a purpose.
If you were on a mission…and you are…How would you change the attitude of your day?
If you were living missionaly..and you are, regardless if you are good at it or not… You would treat the people He put in your path as if they were divine appointments?
where you will see Him standing in all the moments you are to walk into.
building relationship with One who is there…right now….right here.
You are His Greatest Love.
So many things to be Thankful for…can I share a few?….
2.)Learning about true worship… He is showing me a whole new concept and I am too protective of it…but it is so good.
4.)Hearing someone sing over another.. I don't know that I ever saw it so close up in all my life.. it broke my heart and put it back together at the same time.
5.)Knowing that sometimes God wants us to be able to lay it all down…but in the end there is a ram in the thicket.…something easier, already provided by Him.
6.)Little girls with bows in their hair playing together.
7.)You readers… and your never unending kindness over the weekend…"The Vows"post was so personal and such a profound spiritual experience and your wonderfulness made me love you all more then ever!
8.)Hearing strong confirmation on what God will do here on Sunday dinners…I actually had to buy a journal to document all the answers to prayer which are happening…How can I encourage you to do this!
9.)Friends you can show weakness to… and you are still the same person in their eyes… what kind of people are these?
10.) Going to an art night tonight…and a husband who is in town so I can actually go!
isn't it amazing how God took such a simple concept of getting together with some select people on a sunday and transformed it into something big. really big. bigger than we know i think.
Seems to get bigger and more amazing every week.
I just found your blog through a pic on Pinterest (Eucalyptus oil…THANK YOU; my daughter has been up all week with coughing fits; I am going to try this!)…What a blessing to have found you. This post hit home hard for me tonight. I needed to hear this. Thank you!


Pastor Bimbo Odukoya was a Nigerian pastor and televangelist who was married to the founder of the Fountain of Life Church, Taiwo Odukoya.
Born (Abimbola Rosemary Williams) on September 12, 1960, Pastor Bimbo, often called "Pastor Bims," was a receiver of over 60 national and international awards for her contributions to nation building, the development of her country, Nigeria, and the West Africa sub region, and for leadership as a woman of high moral standards and a role model to many. A writer, popular televangelist, highly sought conference speaker, youth mentor and marriage counselor, she was one of several individuals chosen by Samsung to represent Nigeria in carrying the Olympic Torch in Athens, Greece at the 2004 Olympic Games. She died on December 11, 2005 as a result of the Sosoliso Airlines Flight 1145 crash.
Pastor Bimbo studied History and Archaeology at the University of Ibadan where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree. She then began her career at the National Theatre in Lagos. She soon resigned to minister full-time and from 1987 to 1999, she served as the head of the counselling department at the TREM under the direction of Bishop Mike Okonkwo.
Pastor Bimbo married the founding pastor of the Fountain of Life Church, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, and they had three children Tolu Odukoya, (Pastor) Jimmy Odukoya and Tobi Odukoya.
She was the host of Single and Married, a television program broadcast locally and internationally that deals with practical issues people face in marriages and relationships generally guided with biblical principles. She was a well-known conference speaker within Nigeria and in some instances on the international level.
Bimbo Odukoya boarded Sosoliso Airlines Flight 1145, bound for Port Harcourt from Abuja. On 10 December 2005 the airliner crashed during landing at Port Harcourt International Airport; Bimbo survived the initial impact and died from injuries on 11 December 2005. Pastor Bimbo's messages were so influential in Nigerian society that even in death her messages are still popular.

Local family farms provide festive fall fun for all ages
Erin Mullins, Staff writer|October 23, 2013
Erin Mullins
Farm Haven co-owner Stuart Ferguson embraces his calf Caeser. Farm Haven is one of several Northern Kentucky farms offering fall-themed family activities this halloween season.
Across Northern Kentucky, family-run farms provide an opportunity for some fall fun with activities from corn mazes, pumpkin picking, animal encounters and much more.
Listed below are three local family farms that promise reasonably priced fall fun for people of all ages.
Benton Family Farms–Walton, Ky.
The first thing visitors to this fourth-generation family farm will notice is the warm and welcoming smiles that greet them.
Mary Marcum, the farm's current owner, has lived her entire life on the farm. Her grandfather came to Walton, Kentucky in 1941 when her father, who is now 81, was 10 years old.
Marcum said her rule is that every person who comes through her gate is greeted at some point by every person who works for her.
Cody Moore, 18, who works on the farm and has become another member of Marcum's family, said the best thing about working there is that interaction with kids and seeing them get excited about the animals and the farm.
"It's something you have to experience," Moore said. "It's so much fun watching these kids learn about agriculture."
Marcum's son, Jarred, and Moore are the next generation preparing to take over the farm, and Moore said that it's great seeing the interaction between families.
"When they come here, we want them to experience the family farm, I don't want them to experience a festival. If I wanted to go to a festival and jump in jumpy toys, I'd go to a church festival," Moore said.
Another great aspect of the farm is Mary's commitment to sharing the experience with the next generation, regardless of their situation.
The family does a haunted farmhouse ever year and the money raised helps to pay for the school buses to bring inner-city kids to the farm.
Kaitlyn Kirby, 9, who was with the Girl Scout troop working on their bee badge, said she liked learning you could rock a chicken to sleep and seeing all the other animals on the farm.
"We got to sheer the sheep," Kaitlyn said. "This is like the greatest place in the world."
Farm Haven–Union, Ky.
Stuart Ferguson is currently the fifth-generation co-owner of this Union, Kentucky farm. He and his son Ian raise beef during the year and then open the farm to the public during the fall.
Ferguson's infectious smile makes everyone feel welcome and it's immediately evident how passionate he is about his animals.
Along with a small 25 cow herd, Farm Haven has llamas, a donkey, a single-pin log house and a 5-acre corn maze, Ferguson said.
Ferguson said the corn maze started with a partnership with the YMCA in 2002 where Ferguson made the maze and the YMCA managed the tickets and the pair split the profits.
Now, Ferguson runs the corn maze, added a pumpkin patch and a hay ride where each rider receives an ear of corn to hand-feed to the farm's cows, which is Ferguson's favorite thing.
"The kids' faces light up when the cows are running to them," Ferguson said and often, the cows are just as excited as the kids.
Ferguson said he once experimented with a haunted corn maze but didn't like scaring the kids but even without the scary stuff, the corn maze is still a treat.
Ferguson said he does try and plot out part of the maze with string and sticks but the rest of the maze is just free hand.
"It's sort of a canvas and you say, 'Oh, I'm going to make five intersections here and only one of them is going to get you out,'" Ferguson said.
Ferguson also loves to tell anyone who asks about the history of the farm.
"I do like the heritage that we share," Ferguson said. "We've been here a long time and [we] struggle to keep it a farm."
Wil Otto, 7, and his family come to Farm Haven every year as a family tradition and his favorite thing
was the corn maze.
"You can feed the cows and pet a donkey and you can go on a hay ride," Wil said.
There also a hay tunnel in the barn that kids can crawl through.
"[Farm Haven] has a lot of good family activities and they have a lot of animals and you get to get really close to the animals," Wil said.
Kinman Farms–Burlington, Ky.
Only a few miles down the road in Burlington, Kentucky is another family farm dedicated to sharing their heritage with others.
Amanda Kinman works the farm with her father.
"We're family owned and operated," Kinman said. "It's a great place. Kids love it."
The Kinman Farm has a 3-acre corn maze, petting zoo, carnival tent, a live band usually every weekend, concession stand and each person who gets a ticket for the hay ride gets a complimentary pie pumpkin, Kinman said.
The 150-acre farm is operational year round and is open usually from mid-September to the end of October for their fall festival, Kinman said.
The family grows and sells flowers in the spring, 12,000 tomatoes plants in the summer, then have the fall festival and sell pumpkins in the fall, and then Christmas trees in the winter. All the profit goes back into the farm.

Plutocracy I: Political Repression in the U.S.A.
Income inequality has become a key hot button issue in the modern day political spectrum. While these economic and class divides seem more pronounced than ever before, the impressive new documentary Plutocracy: Political Repression in the USA reveals that the core of these struggles pre-date the beginnings of the industrialized labor force. The long and painful journey towards achieving worker rights and fair wages has been marked by violence, discrimination, and inhumane exploitation.
Take, for example, the West Virginia coal mining industry in the early years of the 20th century. Working under extreme conditions plagued by brutalizing hours, unprecedented accident rates and severe health hazards, the miners decided to fight back through strikes and the formation of their own labor union. The industry itself chose to fight back with the importation of replacement workers, and the structuring of new contracts which disallowed workers from joining a union. The fight for freedom from the tyranny of wealthy industrialists was fraught by thousands of lives lost, and many more wounded and incarcerated.
As the film makes clear, the country's founding fathers saw the potential for such class conflicts even before industrialized capitalism made its way to America's shores. During the Civil War, which ranks as the most devastating union conflict in the history of the United States, hundreds of thousands of casualties occurred, many of which were from the poorest populations. The wealthiest figures of the day paid destitute soldiers to fight on their behalf, and some like business magnate John D. Rockefeller could escape the burdens of service by making a cash payment of three hundred dollars.
Throughout history, liberty has come at a cost far more profound than dollars and cents. Change only becomes possible when the working masses band together under the shelter of a common cause of fair and equal rights. Plutocracy: Political Repression in the USA is a smart and engrossing tale of an issue which continues to drive economic instability and power dynamics today. The film honors the sacrifices of all those who have battled to win the freedoms we enjoy today, and reminds us of the importance of demanding equality for all and speaking truth to power.

Plutocracy II: Solidarity Forever
Income inequality may be a hot topic during the current American election season, but it's also a stark reality that has plagued the country for hundreds of years. That sad history foreshadows what many are still grappling with today. The feature-length documentary Plutocracy II: Solidarity Forever is a studious and well-produced portrayal of America's long-standing clashes between the working-class and the industrial beast.
The film, which is the second part of an ongoing historical series, covers the seminal labor-related events which occurred between the late 1800's and the 1920's. Its subtitle refers to a 1915 song composed by Ralph Chaplin as an anthem for unionized workers. The film itself is the cinematic version of that anthem, as it allows us a comprehensive understanding of the need for these early labor unions, and the enormous sacrifices of its members to ensure fairness, safety, and equality in the workplace.
The operations of industries like railroads, steel and coal were characterized by slave wages, dangerous working environments, punishing hours, and child labor. With the birth of the labor unions, these industries were forced to re-examine their worker policies or run the risk of losing their businesses altogether. One of the earliest examples of this is the formation of the American Railroad Union in 1893, an event that is prominently featured in the film. After the organization won early successes in recovering wages for denigrated workers, its popularity skyrocketed among the working class. But the heads of industry soon fought back with their far-reaching strong-arm influence, and subsequent public strikes were marred by violence, oppression and unlawful arrests.
Modern political junkies will find special relevance in the film's portrayal of Eugene V. Debs, a co-founder of Industrialized Workers of the World, aka the Wobblies, who eschewed divisions based on race, sex, skill level etc. The film devotes an inordinate amount of attention to their actions in the film, including the remarkable free speech fights in California. In this age of Bernie Sanders and his message of democratic socialism, it is surprising to learn that Debs' popularity in the early twentieth century was particularly pronounced in states that lean heavily conservative today.
Also, the director explores the still-controversial "Propaganda of the Deed" campaign, which was essentially a terrorist campaign against moneyed elites by anarchists. He doesn't pass judgement on these actions, but he concludes that their ultimate effect was to increase the power of the police state.
Plutocracy II: Solidarity Forever is essential viewing for those with an interest in America's class struggles, and the ongoing efforts to level the playing field between the haves and the have nots.

WeAre#EuropeForCulture: the QANDR tool
engaging audiences on cultural heritage, with a little help from technologies
WeAre#EuropeForCulture is about engaging communities with cultural heritage, helped by the use of digital technologies. To deliver 10 exhibitions of local cultural heritage in 10 European cities plus an additional one in Leuven as part of the final stages of the project, a programme of co-creation sessions allowed people participate in the exhibition set up with their photographs, stories, opinions and other user-generated content. Students, children, artists, craftsmen, elderly people, fishermen, amateur photo-collectors, museum curators, archivists, librarians and any other kind of people of any age were engaged in a truly open and participative approach to cultural heritage.
Sebastiaan ter Burg CC-BY
The co-creation sessions were coordinated by KU Leuven and Photoconsortium, in collaboration with the local partners hosting the workshops and exhibitions. As part of the technology made available for use in this project we find QANDR, Noterik's tool to gamify any type of group discussion. QANDR offers several types of interactions, as a way to involve people into a discussion. It is possible to do polls, pointers, wordclouds, gradings, dilemma's, ratings and it has an interaction model whereby it is possible to create moodboards together, which is fitting very well in the visually orientated project goal of making exhibitions together. QANDR works directly from the browser of the phones and also the mainscreen only needs an internet browser in full-screen mode, so it was very flexible and easy to use this tool on the different locations of the project. Detailed explanation about the tool is offered at this video.
QANDR in Pisa
Whether you're engaging casually with a small group of elderly people, or instigating a more formal discussion with an aula full of tech savvy students: everyone loves to play with the moving dots, fiddle with the pie charts or upvote words in a wordcloud. QANDR outsmarts other interactive discussion tools on the market, and perfectly integrates presentation slides for a sleek finishing touch, says Sofie Taes, curator-storyteller-workshopper at KU Leuven, who coordinated the co-creation programme.

WeAre#EuropeForCulture wanted people and citizens of any age and background to meet cultural heritage and interact with it, under the motto "it's your history too". It is a stubborn misunderstanding that communities or individuals who do not routinely engage with cultural activities have little or no interest in cultural values or do not value their heritage, as lack of interaction can have a myriad causes. Nowadays, digital applications play a more and more important role in helping c...
Europeana Photography Final Conference
The EuropeanaPhotography project ended 31st of January 2015. To mark the occasion, we organized a two-day conference in Leuven on Thursday 29 and Friday 30th of January, under the theme "The Impact of Digitization on Photographic Heritage: Memories Reframed".
Experimenting with photography
Photography is both a means of personal expression and a witness of present and past days: therefore it's about cultural heritage and about creativity, and it is a wealth of possibilities for experimentations. Europeana Photography and Europeana Space are two projects strictly linked one to the other on this topic.

The Lenovo Yoga S940 is a top contender for the most stylish laptop, but it's held back by poor battery life and a disappointing keyboard. Still, if you buy this laptop for short productivity sessions, you won't be left wanting – and it will definitely turn heads with its design and AI tricks

The Lenovo Yoga S940 is a clamshell device that sits at the premium end of the company's productivity offering. The laptop is designed for convenience, yet doesn't sacrifice anything in terms of looks.
The Yoga S940 also packs some interesting AI features, including Alexa support and the capability to dim the dispaly once you walk away from the laptop.
The gorgeous and feature-filled Yoga S940 doesn't come cheap, though, with a starting price of £1259.99 putting it up against some of the hottest devices on the market.

Lenovo Yoga S940 design and build – Sleek, stylish and premium
The Lenovo Yoga S940's design is by far one of its most impressive traits. With a decent-sized 14-inch display in a super small and sleek form factor, this is one attractive device.
The aluminium body feels extremely premium, comfortably placing it on a par with laptop designs that command at the top of the pricing scale. If you're looking for style outside of the Surface Laptop 3 15 and MacBook Pro 2019 world, then the Lenovo Yoga S940 is a leading contender.
The Yoga S940 sees two USB-C Thunderbolt, which are handy for speedy data transfers. There's no standard USB-A port disappointingly, with Lenovo keen to drag us into the future, but it's a pain being forced to buy a USB hub if your peripherals use the old USB-A format. You at least get a headphone jack, so you don't need to adopt wireless headphones just yet.

Lenovo Yoga S940 display – Simply glorious
The Yoga S940's looks are only bolstered by its vibrant 4K display. If you've been using a device that comes with a lower-resolution panel, the upgrade to 4K feels significant.
Display testing backed up our positive initial impressions. When it comes to colour space, the screen offers 99.9% sRGB, 77% Adobe RGB and 86.4% DCI-P3, providing great accuracy for both digital art and photo-realistic images. The Yoga S940 has a cracking 1287:1 contrast ratio thanks to superb black levels and a screen brightness that goes all the way up to 474 nits.
In addition, the panel itself sits in a rather unique housing. Lenovo has used glass that curves towards the edge of the display, similar to some modern smartphone screens, offering super-thin bezels off the left and right.
The top of the display will catch the eye too. There's essentially a reverse notch at the top of the screen, enabling the trim bezel and adding a handy ridge to easily open the laptop. Following a week with the device, I still don't know how I feel about it.
One thing is certain: you'll certainly forget about its presence when looking at the glorious screen. The notch mostly blends into the plastic and fits in with the overall laptop design.

Lenovo Yoga S940 keyboard and trackpad – Not what you'd expect for the price
While that superb display is the first thing you'll notice on turning on the Yoga S940, the second thing will be the keyboard. Unfortunately, it won't be the high you felt on seeing the screen; it's more likely to bring you back down to earth with a bump.
The mushy-feeling keys and flex in the build are a real let-down. For those fans of premium-feeling, clicky keyboards, the unit here may prove disappointing. It's okay, and you will get used to it – as long as you don't expect the class of keyboard that comes with devices such as the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 and Surface Laptop 3 15.
The trackpad isn't much to write home about, either. It's a little small, but that's to be expected given the overall size of the Lenovo Yoga S940. It works well enough though, with a suitable enough responsiveness.

Lenovo Yoga S940 performance – Everyday tasks won't be an issue
The Lenovo Yoga S940 offers solid performance for a compact productivity machine. Our review model comes with the i5-8265U processor, 8GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage, and it's priced at £1699.99.
These specs delivered some decent processor tests results: 4547 in our single-core Geekbench 4 test, and 11,722 in a multi-core test. The Lenovo's pricing and scores position it against devices such as the HP Envy 13 and Dell XPS 13.
Lenovo Yoga S940 HP Envy 13 Dell XPS 13
PCMark 10 3118 3711 3847
Unfortunately, the Lenovo Yoga S940 was firmly outshone by both of those laptops in our holistic PCMark 10 tests. The S940 achieved 3118, while the Envy 13 hit 3711 and the Dell 3847.
However, for the everyday tasks that a device such as the Yoga S940 is designed for, it proved itself more than capable. It took a heavy load of upwards of 8 to 10 tabs in Chrome to see any slowdown, and we didn't experience any drops in performance when carrying out simple word-processing tasks.
The Lenovo Yoga S940 performed remarkably well when it came to the read and write speeds of its SSD storage. The read speed came in at 3489.5MB/s and write at 1,945.3MB/s. These speeds make it one of the fastest data transferring drives we've tested over recent times and that's extremely impressive.
If you do want more bang for your buck, Lenovo has now introduced Intel's latest 10th-Gen chips as an option for this model with little price variation – so definitely take this into account when making your final decision.

Lenovo Yoga S940 features – Handy but far from groundbreaking
The Yoga S940 touts a range of AI features to try and bring some more convenience to your laptop life.
A key addition is the Glance eye-tracking software which enables you to quickly snap your pointer and windows from laptop screen to monitor by just looking. Glance also offers a feature that dims your screen when you move away from the screen, but we weren't able to test this as it was absent from the software on our model.
Windows Hello also features, allowing you to log in by just looking at the laptop via facial recognition. This is entirely optional of course.
The Lenovo Yoga S940 also comes with Alexa support (requires download from Windows Store) and far-field microphones so you can issue commands from up to four meters away. In our testing, both Alexa and the microphones worked as advertised and are a useful addition for open up applications via voice command.
Lenovo Yoga S940 battery – It won't last a full day away from the mains
The Lenovo Yoga S940's battery life could be a huge sticking point for many. Its sub-par performance is disappointing, but not uncommon in a device with a 4K display, especially considering the Yoga S940's compact dimensions in which there's limited room for a more substantial battery.
In the Powermark battery life benchmark, the S940 managed just 3hrs 19mins before giving up, but this does simulate power-thirsty applications. Thankfully, our real-world usage did see this extend to around 4 hours, but that's still well below the target for productivity laptops.
Poor battery life is a significant sacrifice for that great 4K display, and it means that the Yoga S940 won't get you through a full workday without needing to be plugged in. This may not be ideal for some.
If you're happy with sessions lasting just a few hours away from the mains – whether it's for use at home or whipping it out at a meeting – then this gorgeous laptop might be worth the battery sacrifice.

The Lenovo Yoga S940 is one of the best-looking laptops on the market, from its refined metal build to its quality 4K display. However, the S940's £1000-plus price point means it faces stiff competition, with laptops with more up to date components.
Other than its rivals, the main barriers standing between you and the Lenovo Yoga S940 are its average keyboard and poor battery life. The keyboard doesn't live up to expectations given the price of the laptop, while the battery life rules out this device as a laptop that you can use all day without a charge.
However, if you love its looks, want a device that will allow for a decent level of productivity performance, and are a fan of its crisp 4K display then there are plenty of upsides to picking the Lenovo Yoga S940 as your next laptop.

Kathleen W. Smith, Laurence R. Harris, Jennifer K.E. Steeves; Strategy for visual scanning of faces varies with the degree of Asperger Syndrome traits. Journal of Vision 2008;8(6):709. doi: 10.1167/8.6.709.
People with Asperger syndrome (AS) have difficulty identifying complex emotions (e.g., 'wary') that involve theory of mind but can identify basic emotions (e.g., 'happy') (Baron-Cohen et al., 2001 J.Child Psychol. Psychiat. 42: 241). They look less at the eye region of faces than controls do when discriminating basic emotions but not when viewing faces passively (Pelphrey et al., 2002 J. Autism Dev. Dis. 32:249). Does scan path strategy vary with AS severity? Is there a difference between how people with and without AS scan faces while identifying complex versus simple emotions? Eye movements were measured using an Eyelink 1000 while people with AS and controls viewed faces showing simple or complex emotions. Severity of AS was assessed using the Autism-Spectrum Quotient questionnaire (AQ: Baron-Cohen et al., 2001 J. Autism Dev. Dis. 31: 5). Participants viewed a fixation cross followed by a face which was surrounded, after 5s, by four words from which they selected the emotional expression. Scan paths were analysed in terms of the goal and latency of first saccade to the face, and the dwell times in different face regions during the face-viewing period. The frequency of people looking first at the nose, the dwell time in the nose region, and the dwell time on features in the lower part of the face in general, correlated with AQ. The frequency of looking first at the eyes, the dwell time in the eye regions, and dwell time on the upper part of the face were inversely correlated with AQ. There was no difference in scan paths when identifying simple vs. complex emotions. These data support the view that there is a continuum of AS tendencies extending into the so-called normal population that is reflected in scan path strategy.

The graco contender 65 lets your children enjoy premium features and comfort without the parents having to shell out premium price. The seat will serve your kids for eight years but you will have to wrestle with straps and buckles all the time. The seat accommodates your child from birth to school. The child has to be seated in the rear facing mode for one year of age and shifted to forward facing mode once the child reaches 40 pounds. The child can stay in this mode till the weight touches 65 pounds.
Graco contender 65 comes with a cup holder and has no-thread harness adjustment feature. In case you want to connect a stroller to your seat you will have to purchase a separate travel system. The market has similarly named graco seats that almost resemble Graco contender and it is difficult for parent to decide the choice. When you compare Size4Me 65, MySize 65 and Fit4Me 65 car seats you will not find any significant differences. But you will find a few differences between Graco contender 65 and them. Though there are not many you will have to know even the minimal differences before buying Graco contender 65.
One small downside of Graco Contender 65 is that its rear facing weight limit is just 40 pounds. Though it falls in the normal range of convertible car seats, you cannot expect an extended life for rear facing seating that is acquired with other convertible seat models. Your child can be seated in rear facing mode till up to the age of 3 which this seat will offer. But if you want an extended rear facing seating you will have to look for a genuine extended rear facing seat by shelling out more money for this option. With the weight and height range mentioned most children will be able to use the Graco Contender 65 until they are 6 to 7 years of age.
The Graco Contender 65 comes with standard LATCH installation system. It does not feature the InRight LATCH installation system that the car seat Size4Me has. It comes with a simply push button mechanism. If you are fine with using standard LATCH connector for installation you can stick to Graco Contender 65. The seat is lined with EPS foam that absorbs energy during the collision. The seat exceeds or meets all the US safety standards when tested for side impact protection. The other features include EPS foam lined head wings for side impact protection, machine washable seat pads, cup holder, 3-position recline with indicator, FAA approval for aircraft travel, etc.
Graco Contender 65 is the right choice if you have a small budget and those who are looking for lower cost seat for second hand vehicles. Lack of certain convenience features is the reason for lower cost.


A 20-year-old man identified as Emmanuel Effiong has said he beheaded a woman at the Aba park on the instructions of a mad woman, who allegedly advised him to throw a human head into a river or he would go mad.
"I gave a mad woman money one day in Aba and she told me to look for a skull or human head and throw inside a river or I will go mad. One morning, when I saw a lifeless body in front of the park, I decided to cut off the dead woman's head for the exercise. I threw the head into the Aba River to remain a normal person," he said.
Effiong made the confession while in the custody of the police. He had been arrested by police operatives in Aba, Abia State in connection with a threat to kidnap and kill one Ikechukwu Udogu.
It was gathered that the search for Effiong started when the police got the information that an unknown person, through a phone text, threatened to kill one Udogu, if he failed to pay him a N15m ransom.
It was learnt that police operatives attached to the Central Police Station, Aba, swung into action and arrested the suspect with the mobile phone number used in sending the threat message.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Adeleye Oyabade, who confirmed the arrest of the suspect, said he confessed to the crime.
Oyebade added that the suspect also confessed that he was behind the headless woman found on September 29, 2016 at the Aba main motor park.
He said three knives and a phone were recovered from the suspect, adding that investigation was in progress to unravel the mystery behind the dastardly act.
Speaking with Southern City News, Effiong, who said he hails from Ikot Edet in Akwa Ibom State, accepted that he demanded the ransom from Udogu for refusing to pay him his salary since September 2009.

It is difficult to grasp how aviation safety can be improved if the legal process surrounding an aircraft accident allows an engineer to be condemned to a prison sentence based on an "assumption" that a cockpit Switch (critical to flight safety) was set in the incorrect position….

Russell Brand Joins Fellow British Comics in 'What About Dick?'
FeaturesFilm Features Angela Dawson|November 6, 2012

Note to editor: Brand uses the phrase "cocks and balls" and the word "tits" in one of his answers (all within the same paragraph).
By JAMES DAWSON
HOLLYWOOD—Dressed like a vested hippie biker adorned in necklaces, bracelets and tattoos, the hyper-animated Russell Brand comes on like a one-man show promoting his new movie "What About Dick?" Brand has the title role in the campily absurd comedy as an early-20th-century Englishman of "ambivalent sexuality" whose name is the source of numerous naughty double entendres.
Although written and co-directed by Monty Python's Eric Idle, who co-stars with Brand and other British comedy royalty including Eddie Izzard, Tracey Ullman, Billy Connolly, Tim Curry, Jane Leeves, Jim Piddock and the literally royal Sophie Winkleman (a.k.a. Lady Frederick Windsor), the movie will not appear in theaters or (for the time being) on DVD. Instead, it will be available exclusively online for download beginning November 13 (at whataboutdick.com).
The movie marks a new accomplishment for actor/singer/writer/interviewer Brand, whose onscreen roles have ranged from debauched rock star Aldous Snow (In both "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "Get Him to the Greek") to Shakespeare's Trinculo (in director Julie Taymor's version of "The Tempest"). "What About Dick?" is a retro staged reading before a live audience. The actors stand behind microphones to do their parts, a live band accompanies several songs and an on-stage crewmember provides sound effects. It's all quite silly, with a few ad-libs by the cast.
Although given his own solo interview slot at the movie's Hollywood press junket, Brand couldn't resist crashing an earlier group interview that featured Idle, Connolly, Curry and Winkleman. Brand's lengthy stream-of-consciousness comments were delivered at roughly twice the speed of normal human speech and with almost messianic zeal.
Black-bearded and with matching past-the-shoulders wavy hair, the dark-vested Brand arrives eating an apple and carrying a paperback of Steve Martin's tweets.
Brand: I like roundtables, because it makes me feel like I'm important. Why do you think I have to be on my own? Why do you think that? That's my question!
Q: Where does your sense of humor come from?
Brand: I think the original sense is inherent, but you have to cultivate it and educate it. Like some people would be good at football or basketball or something, but then they require the training, don't they? So what I think it comes from—and I think this must be true, because every time I think about it, it's a pang for me that nearly makes me cry—that it's a response to pain and fear. It's a response to the knowledge of death. It's a response to the certainty that there's something else, that humor provides us a moment of respite, relief. An explosion away from the conformity, the unnatural condition we're forced to live in as these gentle animals that we are. These beautiful, angelic simian creatures forced into conformity, stripped of our dignity, robbed of our spirituality. Everything we ever were repackaged back to us at a price, commodified cellular slavery. And I think the humor temporarily alleviates that burden, it shows us that our spirit lives on, that we can change things, that we can triumph against all adversity.
And an important thing that the Maharishi said: "Life is not serious. Life is absolutely not serious." There's always a march stolen by the intellectual elite, by the atheists, that somehow we have to be grown up, that somehow we have to be serious. That there's some obligation towards academia and bureaucracy. But the fact is, we can just be silly if we like.
Q: Does comedy give you the license to cross lines? In the movie, the audience's reaction seemed to inspire you to go farther and farther, such as when you were nursing at Tracey's breast. You wouldn't do that in someone's living room or at a dinner party.
Brand: No, indeed not. That's what's beautiful about live performances. You're offered that opportunity to enter in a discourse with the audience. They're so important. Performers are generally such fragile creatures that if you laugh, it feeds you, you become inflated, you recognize that connection. It's a kind of circuitry, isn't it? An invisible circuitry. If you imagine neurologically what occurs in the mind of each of us, there are synapses, the synapses fire electromagnetic energy across a space creating a circuit, and that circuit will become a thought or an action. I think that this circuitry can exist between individuals as well. That unseen between us there are connections. And I think that if, in an audience, you have that energy, that laughter, then you are connected and the thing can flourish and grow.
Q: As an actor, what kind of preparation did you have to do to play a Dick?
Brand: You're being cheeky, ain't you? You're being cheeky. What preparation did playing a Dick require? A lifetime of rehearsal.
Q: How many of the cast members did you know beforehand?
Brand: I knew only Sophie Winkleman of the cast, prior to working on this. (Brand then delivers a joking, extended and completely deadpan dismissal of Winkleman's contribution to the film.) And for me she stands alone as a blemish on an otherwise perfect portrait. But for her involvement, we could have achieved comedy greatness. This could have gone down in the annals as a great work of genius. But Sophie Winkleman (was) a single tear in the canvas of perfection, like on an Arabian rug, as not to offend Allah, one error is always included. Sophie Winkleman is that Arabian error. Have you noticed, as I have, how minute her eyes are? Such narrow, tiny slits within a face, barely a soul peeping through, just further nothingness.
Everyone else I hadn't met before. Eric I only knew from his great work on "Monty Python." Eddie I knew from being devoted to his standup comedy. The same is true of Billy and Tracey.
I just took it as some kind of comedy school, to tell you the truth. For me, it was like an education. I went there just to learn.
Q: Eric talked about the response of the audience to women being funny. He felt that it makes especially men feel uncomfortable. Has that been your experience?
Brand: When women are funny I like it, but let's think about that for a while. In a patriarchal culture, women behaving humorously. What is humor? I mean, we talked about the role of comedy a little bit before, didn't we? I suppose that we don't like women being funny because of how they're the archetype of the mother and the archetype of the lover. Neither of those things…you want stability in both of those things. We see women in opposition to the patriarchal self, don't we? So if they start being funny and disruptive, it's scary.
Also, on a more basic physiological level, men have got, like, cocks and balls, stupid looking things, not inverted elegant genitalia. I think that there's always some emblem in anatomy for psychology. I think the consciousness of the body is more important than people acknowledge. Although tits are pretty funny, aren't they?
Q: Do you ever see yourself doing something on a blockbuster, big-budget scale? A new "Star Wars" is coming out…
Brand: (In mock surprise) What?
Q: Yeah, they're coming out with "Star Wars" VII, VIII and IX.
Brand: (Indignantly) Why wasn't I invited to play Darth Vader?
Q: I can see you as a Jedi.
Brand: I could be a Jedi! Those f****** slags! Why have they not invited me in to participate?
Q: Would you do it?
Brand: Yeah! Anything like that, aye. Anything like that, to be a Jedi for the children. As yet unborn.
Q: It is true that within the heart of every comic is a serious actor wanting to get out, such as when Robin Williams got accolades for "Good Will Hunting?"
Brand: Well, I'll tell you what that is. It's because of the enormous sensitivity required to be a comedian. So, like Robin Williams, there's a velocity of thought. Comedy and tragedy obviously have a relationship with each other, so you have to inherently understand what the tragedy is to play the comedy. That's why there's so much value in dark humor. Because the darker, the more upsetting, the more indiscreet, the more macabre and painful the subject, the more fertile comedically it becomes, in my opinion. So it doesn't surprise me that comedians can become very good actors. It surprises me that so many choose to.
Q: What made you want to be vegetarian?
Brand: Morrissey said, "I don't see why something's life should end just so I can have a snack." Bad to kill a thing.
Q: You've played musicians as Aldous Snow and in "Rock of Ages." Would you like to do a musical on Broadway?
Brand: Yeah, I want to be Fagin, in "Oliver!"

A few weeks ago BitBoost released to selected testers a private beta version of The Block, a marketplace for e-commerce built over the Ethereum blockchain. This first version was deployed to test main features, such as listing, selling, buying, sending and receiving funds and tokens in the built-in wallet, searching, and messaging between users.
ATTN: BitBoost's token sale is live and ending soon! Visit the official website or learn more and participate in the token sale.
During the past three weeks the developing team has been carefully taking note of all the bugs and suggestions reported by the first group of beta testers. Many testers praised the job done, but they also pointed to some issues to be solved. Most issues were related to the listing feature, which lacked the ease and speed displayed by other features. Minor localization, UI and code bugs were also commented on through email and social channels.
With this highly valuable feedback, BitBoost developers have been working to ship a stronger and more stable open beta. Beta version is already available for the download HERE.
6. Some basic UI options.
Previously, The Block was tested over the Ropsten testnet. This network lacked the computational power to smoothly run the app, since few nodes were working, and always at a very slow pace. Because of that, this new version of the app will be tested on a private network created by BitBoost. But, do not forget – do not use your real ETH! Use only test ETH (ether) during this beta test period or you will lose real money. When downloading the app you will receive clear instructions regarding ETH, tokens (BBT), and payments within the app, together with further info for beta testers.
"Until this moment we have been a small project working on a product for over two years. Right now, we are starting to raise our voice within the crypto community, and even beyond, inviting people to join our community of beta testers and first users, to help create a decentralized network for e-commerce. This open beta is a cornerstone for our project, to redefine e-commerce through the blockchain, and we hope that people will appreciate it, supporting our project during the coming years." Paul Mahone, BitBoost´s CEO, says.
This open beta testing period, starting today, will be run just for desktop apps: macOS, Windows, and Linux. A web browser alpha version will come very soon, and BitBoost expects to start developing the iOS and Android versions at the end of this year, once the already running token sale round is finished. For further info about next steps, please check BitBoost´s roadmap on the website.
