Wymodausis Club
The Wymodausis Club was born in June 1900. The club was started as a literary club and grew into a civic club over time. Mrs. Edward Hudnall, who had been a member of a literary club in Jacksonville, FL, along with Mrs. Mattie Stevens launched the club with great interest. The club met twice a month in the homes of its members. Over time, the membership grew to such a number that they needed a more permanent home. United with the D.A.R. and the U.D.C, they worked towards constructing a home of their own. Completed in September of 1925, the Womans Building, situated next to Brookwood Park (Drexel Park), is a beautiful memorial to the work of those women. Wymodausis achievements constitute a part of the history of Valdosta, GA. Every movement for community improvement, for humanitarian appeal, for intellectual development has been made a part of the Wymodausis effort. Wymodausis became a member of the Georgia Federation of Womens Clubs in 1901 and a member of the National Federation of Womens Clubs in 1916.
The collection consists of correspondence between Medora Field Perkerson and members of the Wymodausis Club, Mrs. R.J. McClenny and Mrs. Walter Williams. The handwritten journals of Willie Pearl Davis, a member of Wymodausis in the clubs early years, are also included. The original bound programs from the Wymodausis Club and one program from the Womens Society of Christian Service are included. Included also is the transcript of a speech given by R. H. Powell of the Georgia State Womens College before the Convention of Womens Clubs in April of 1923. The correspondence is arranged in files relating to the author of the correspondence and the date on which it was written. The bound programs are arranged in files, grouping consecutive years together. The collection also includes an Elementary Spelling Book and a tribute to Mrs. Coley (sister of Willie Pearl Davis).

My parents have sold several homes over the years, but generally leave the experience with only a luke warm feeling towards their agent. It seems like they generally are disappointed about the process and the outcome. They are going to sell their home in Arizona this spring and we would love some suggestions as to what questions they should ask when they interview agents this time around. I am not sure it help, but I figured I would at least try. I am confident you have some questions that will help them find a quality agent. Thanks for the insight.
On average, how many homes have you sold each year for the past 3 years?
You are looking for an answer that is somewhere north of 25 homes. Any less than 2 per month and it would be hard to call it your profession.
You want to hear "YES". If not, end the interview.
What will be your marketing strategy for my home?
You want to see a comprehensive strategy with several marketing avenues in place with an emphasis on consistency and frequency of message.
What separates you from you competition?
This should tell you a lot. They should know their competition and better yet, know their marketing plan, office processes and how those are superior.
This one may be the most important… if you get an answer that feels like there is no plan that means there is no plan. Again, end the interview if the answer is not specific on when and how you can expect communication.
What negatives do you see with my home?
If they are unsure of what negatives exist or what the barriers to sale may be, then they either they are not willing to confront the issues or they don't have the skill set to identify them. Again, unless they provide you with some insight, end the interview. Even the most perfect house, has flaws.
Ask for them and call them. You are "interviewing", do your homework or don't blame the agent if it does not work out!
Notice, the question about how much the house is worth is not on the list. Make your decision based on the answers to questions similar to the ones listed above, not what value the agent tells you your home should sell for. Trust me, if the answers to the above questions all fit, then you and the agent will be able to find you a real market value for your home and have a great relationship through to closing. I hope this helps your folks and that the process is enjoyable. Part of making the ride enjoyable is doing your homework up front so you are comfortable with the driver. Then you can sit back and relax knowing you are in good hands.

CHICAGO, IL, May 01, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ — Reverse Rett Chicago, an annual gala that benefits the Rett Syndrome Research Trust, has become a premiere event in the Chicago area. Now in its 4th year, the event is attended by more than 300 influential people from the region. In its first three years, the event raised over $800,000 to advance research on Rett Syndrome, a devastating neurological disorder that afflicts almost exclusively girls and women.
Tickets are $175 each. If you are a RETT parent or age 30 and under, the cost is $100. To register to attend, send your check to RSRT, 67 Under Cliff Rd, Trumbull CA 06611 or visit: www.ReverseRett.org/Chicago.
This year's gala takes place Thursday, May 31, at the elegant Galleria Marchetti, 825 W. Erie Street in Chicago. The gala is co-chaired by Caryn and Allan Zelinger and their son Brad in honor of the Zelinger's daughter and Brad's sister, Marissa, who was diagnosed with the disorder at seven years old. Marissa is now 31. Other Chicago-area families that have daughters with Rett Syndrome are on the event committee.
Sponsorships are fully deductible. RSRT is a 501c3 non-profit.
Deadline for advertising is May 25, 2018. Email submissions to: [email protected].
•	More than 350,000 afflicted around the world, including 16,000 in the U.S.
•	Children with Rett develop normally in the first year or two of life; then they regress, with most losing the ability to speak and walk and developing a host of other painful symptoms.
•	The cause of Rett Syndrome is known—a random mutation on a single gene—setting it apart from other neurological disorders and giving researchers a target.
•	Rett has been proven to be reversible in animal models, and research is now focusing on translating that achievement to girls and women with the disease.
RSRT's goal is ambitious and potentially historic: to make Rett Syndrome the first neurological disorder for which there is a cure. To date, RSRT has awarded more than $41 million to research, resulting in key discoveries that are moving the science closer to treatments and a cure. RSRT is a lean and efficient non-profit, with an average of 96% of funding going to research. This research gives 350,000 girls and women, as well as a small group of boys, hope for a life in which they are freed from the terrible and painful symptoms they live with every moment of every day.
More information about RSRT and Rett Syndrome can be found at www.ReverseRett.org.


Olivier Latry (born 22 February 1962) is a French organist, improviser and Professor of Organ in the Conservatoire de Paris.
Latry was born in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. After having begun his musical studies in Boulogne-sur-Mer, in 1978 he enrolled in the organ class under Gaston Litaize at the Academy of Saint-Maur, and took composition classes with Jean-Claude Raynaud at the Paris Academy. After becoming Professor of organ in the Catholic Institute of Paris in 1983 and subsequently at the Academy of Rheims, he succeeded Gaston Litaize at the Academy of Saint-Maur in 1990. In 1995, Latry was named professor of organ in the Academy of Paris, a post held jointly with Michel Bouvard.
In 1985, at 23 years of age, Latry was awarded the post of one of four titulaires des grands orgues of Notre-Dame, Paris together with Yves Devernay, Philippe Lefèbvre [fr] and Jean-Pierre Leguay, following the death of Pierre Cochereau.
In addition to this role and his teaching positions, Latry carries out a career as concert performer: he has played in over forty countries across five continents, in particular in the United States, where he made his first tour in 1986, becoming one of the most popular French organists in that country.

Groups launch gigabit-per-second broadband project
The $200 million project will seek to fund ultra-fast broadband networks in six U.S. communities
Grant Gross (IDG News Service) on 23 May, 2012 15:48
An Ohio startup company has raised US$200 million to fund gigabit-per-second broadband projects in six university communities across the U.S., the company announced Wednesday. Gigabit Squared will work with the University Community Next Generation Innovation Project (Gig.U), a coalition of 30 universities focused on improved broadband, to select six communities in which to build the ultra-fast broadband networks, they said. The two organizations will select winning communities between November and the first quarter of 2013, Mark Ansboury, president of Gigabit Squared, said during a press conference. The new project comes at an important time, when many commercial broadband providers have stopped deploying next-generation networks, said Blair Levin, executive director of Gig.U and lead author of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's 2010 national broadband plan. The strong backing for Gigabit Squared proves that, "yes, America needs an upgrade, and that, yes, there are investors and innovators willing to step up to get it done," Levin said. High-speed broadband requires a new business model, Ansboury said. "It's time for a departure from the strategies of the past, strategies that merely looked a fulfilling current demand," he said. The new Gigabit Neighborhood Gateway Program will focus on using broadband to drive innovations in education, health care, public safety and other sectors, Ansboury said. Many of the innovations that will come from the ultra-fast networks will be ideas that founders of the program can't anticipate, he said. The program will create demonstration projects in Gig.U communities to serve as models for other regional broadband networks, Ansboury said. The new networks will use an open architecture. The new program has partnerships with several companies, including Corning, G4S, Juniper Networks, Alcatel Lucent, Ericson and Level 3, Ansboury said. Funding comes from private sources. The project will focus on creating a self-funding service that doesn't depend on government funding or subsidies, Levin said. "We're very excited about the notion that the private sector is stepping up to this, because it can build that sustainable model," he said.

The appropriate use of these three words, or more accurately word families, can shockingly change the emotional air quality in all of your relationships, and quickly. Why and how? Because every human interaction can be rated on a scale from emotionally nourishing to emotionally toxic. Poorly utilized, these three word families are emotionally toxic to others, yourself, or both. Speaking with compassion is nourishing, and combining that with power and conviction yields compassionate ACTION. Who doesn't need more of that?
If you are asking for a fact, or scientific explanation, "why" is great.
"Why" also works when problem solving a situation (referring to "it," such as "I wonder why it broke?").
When the question is INQUIRY instead of INQUISITION, it is an appropriate why question.
Otherwise, the only real response to "why?" is "Because . . ." Because is the beginning of a defensive stance. One must reference the past, and seek justification for one's actions. People shrink and get angry/defensive/passive when focusing on the dark and past. They respond positively to moving toward the positive/light/solutions and future.
If any of the following make sense in the reply, via specific words or their intent, then "why?" is a poor question.
All "why" questions can be rephrased, usually with better results. "Help me understand . . ." "Tell me more about . . . ." Still, we need to watch out for the intent of "why!" "What were you thinking?!" has the same effect as "why?". Similarly, "How could you do that?" or "When did that crazy thought enter your mind?" focus on how the person is wrong/stupid/bad, and the speaker is just and right. Consequently, any response must delve into the past to seek justification or incrimination.
Would, Could, Wish, Ought, Supposed To, Want, Gotta, Probably, and Need often fit here as well. These words can create a judgment, and rarely are they followed with intention/action. More often, they are spoken with regret, guilt, obligation, shame, or distain. If the phrase appears to pointing a finger at others or yourself, then it is a negative judgment.
Note that it is impossible to experience anger without the word or sentiment of "should." This concept really threw me for a loop, but I have yet to think of an exception. Anger always involves a "should." "They/he/she/I should(n't) do it this way!" Let me know if you can think of one – I'm still racking my brain!
Opinions are a special case of "should." In politics or with advice, the sentiment of "should" can be present, even without the word. Rather than expressing one's thoughts on a matter reasonably and with curiosity about the other position, the speaker believes the other person "should" take on their point of view. The closer the position is tied to the ego, the more "should" sentiment is attached to it.
In group settings, an individual will often offer something to the group using a "should" sentiment. "Hey, we should think about this some more." "We could look at some other options as well." "I think we're supposed to be doing this instead." All of these are a form of soft telling. Make a personal and specific request instead. "I like the idea of recycling and composting in the dining area; how does everyone else feel about that?" "I find announcements work better when they are all done together; what does the group think about that approach?" You will find that "should," "could," etc. statements can be glossed over, and often are, but a personal request will certainly be addressed. Speak with conviction (Taylor Mali video).
Try removing the "should family" from your vocabulary and see how your intentions and actions change. Make a specific, positive choice of your own free will that includes intentions/plans with traction.
Sneaking should back into your vocabulary: Using should as a guess at the future, without referencing people, is innocuous, but substitute "expect" for should to train your mind initially. If you can substitute "shall" for should, it is likely a genuine question without judgment or negativity. "Need" instead of should can be used in instructional situations without judgment or negativity, but otherwise it likely carries a negative judgment. Rarely, "oops" can be substituted for should without implying judgment, but it is a razor's line to walk.
There are three common uses of a yes or no question, with the third being alienating/degrading, and the first two being largely healthy uses. The intent of the speaker is key, as is how that intent lands/feels. Generally, more expansive questions, requiring more than a simple yes or no, feel better and are more empowering.
"You're going for the mini-Cooper because you like the style and gas mileage, eh? You know the Prius gets twice the miles per gallon.
You should be/do . . .
You shouldn't be . . .
Fascinating: energy changes form, but doesn't die/end. It has many forms, such as light, heat, motion, electrical, gravitational, as well as sound and breath. Hold your hand in front of mouth and speak: Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers. You felt, particularly, the p's. Your breath can also blow up a balloon, storing energy, and then pop it (BOOM!). And, your breath can put out a fire (candle) or start one (blowing on embers). Your breath and sounds contain energy, and when they leave your body, they have an effect on the world.
Similarly, almost everything important you do in this world will require and affect other people. Really? Yes. Think about it. The strings of words you put together determine most of your experience. You can physically build something, but if you want people to help you, you'll need words. If you want to build relationships, coalitions, movements, and understanding, you're going to need words. On a one-on-one level, dialogue is how mind and hearts are changed. Think about leaving an impact, a legacy, and think about doing so without using words. Your words are your PRIMARY tool for action and change on Earth. With that understanding, and what we're up to at Camp Augusta, we implore and require you to be purposeful and positively powerful with your words.
In my experience, people go through five stages in the implementation of these concepts. It is important to understand this progression, as otherwise folks seem to get stuck at the stage they are at, and believe that is the end of the road. Stages 2 and 4 are particularly sticky, yet time with a mentor and practice always yields progress.
I get it, but I can think of tons of exceptions.
Confused application, often being very literal/example driven.
I get it, and I understand the exceptions.
I understand the principles involved.
As you progress through the stages, be patient with yourself. Even folks at Level 5 make mistakes and struggle, especially in difficult circumstances with oneself or others. Change the application of these word families and you'll change the emotional air for the better. Your relationships will be richer and more satisfying. Your power to move people willingly and positively will increase.
Are we (words) breaking up?
Yes, you'll likely speak a little funny at first, and lose some verbal dexterity. Fear not peaceful warrior, you ARE on the path!
You are NOT removing words from your vocabulary, but rather using them with purpose, precision, and power.
Use the words – don't get rid of them . . . use them more powerfully.
You will become fluent and deft using ALL of the words precisely as you intend them to be.
Your choice in every instance is to choose to be intentional, powerful, and peaceful or to choose aggression and/or weakness. And, more commonly, it is not that extreme, and the choice is to accept some steps along the path, but not reach the end/mastery. Such choices are not only with words, but also with what we eat, puffing on a cigarette, how much we exercise, etc. In what areas and to what degree do we accept challenge and growth?
A big plunge may be too much; if so, pick a few words that really resonate with you as being exciting/interesting to work with, and make those your daily discipline. When you're doing well with those, add in a few more – kaizen!
In my experience, the path is a three year or more journey, with the scenery changing quite slowly to new and more beautiful vistas. Especially without a mentor, making steady progress without hitting the potholes and wandering into dead ends, is unlikely. Yet, I never met a determined seeker who has not made their way nonetheless.
Consider focusing on Should/Why/Yes/No and simple 4-ish letter words first, and then moving on to the Master's degree of the other words/consciousness.
As the old joke goes, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" Practice. Practice. Practice.
A skillful correction method is to not only note the slip of the tongue, but also offer a substitute example of lingual mastery if the student can't figure it out. This method is especially useful in cases where the student does not quickly grasp the more powerful version of speech, and when the mentor senses the correct and appropriate timing of the instruction. At Camp Augusta, we are committed to positive change. Thus, it is considered standard operating procedure to help one another harness the energy contained/available in our words.
Light karma, bring it on!
Frustration is virtually guaranteed when the student (or mentor) works to catch or correct every instance of a less skillfully chosen word. Many instances of poorly chosen words such as "good" or "should" or "just" are in a context of such little consequence and/or meaning, that the gaff is akin to the karma of stepping on an ant haphazardly. Eventually, such instances are allowed to pass, with the full understanding that what was lost is so small that more is gained by the loss than the preservation of exact correctness/avoidance of the word(s). This developed awareness allows for the skillful use and "misuse" of challenging words.


The international conman Peter Foster may get a jail term and a large fine in Vanuatu, if found guilty of illegal entry.
Peter Foster is awaiting his court appearance in Vanuatu this afternoon, on charges of entering the country illegally after escaping military guards in Fiji last week.
Vanuatu Police superintendent Willie Ben says Foster claimed to be sick when he was arrested on Sunday, but has since been deemed fit to attend court.
Meanwhile Fiji's military spokesman Neumi Leweni says that arrangements will soon be made for Foster's extradition back to Fiji, where he is wanted for criminal charges.
Pacnews reports the Federated States of Micronesia is also likely to seek Foster's extradition, to face further charges.
Australia has confirmed it will not seek to extradite Peter Foster from Vanuatu.

Lilith and Eve: The Forgotten Woman
Here is the domain of the age-old inner power struggle between The Good Girl v The Bad Girl, personified at the beginning of human history by the feminine archetypes of Lilith and Eve. The original story of creation begins with a powerful goddess, known as Lilith (Adam's first wife) who was strong, independent and highly sexual, free and un-tameable. She loved fiercely – but would not succumb to any form of domination, her feminine power had to be honoured and when it wasn't she left Adam in the Garden of Creation and went off on her own. The story even 'warns' us that she went against God's wishes, which clearly reveals to us the sheer power of her virtue and unwavering sense of Self-Love.
After Lilith, we are introduced to Eve. In the biblical story we are told that Eve was created from "Adam's Rib". So immediately there is a sense of "ownership", a play between the 'creator' and the 'created'. Eve was the complete opposite of Lilith, soft, gentle, subservient and passive. Her role was to 'serve' Adam and create the children of the future. Despite Adam's near perfect design, still within the sweet and innocent heart of Eve, there was a flicker of Lilith's spirit that remained, as we are told it was Eve that bit into the apple of the Forbidden Fruit. From there on, Eve gets carries the burden, of the shame and guilt of being "the one" that had them both cast out of the Garden of Eden.
But it wasn't the shame of biting into the apple that she was carrying. It was the shame and pain of being severed from Lilith.
This polarity still gets played out within the hearts of mortal women here on Earth. One moment we are Lilith – powerful, sexual, forbidden, untameable, creative, wild and free, and in the next moment we become Eve, sweet, caring, gentle, loving, innocent, pure and nice.
Men imagine that they do not have to deal so much with this archetypal power play that can at times play itself out on a daily basis with women. But they do. They experience this polarity when in relationship with women as a form of projection.
How may times have you been on the receiving end of a man adoring your Lilith nature when you first meet or in the early stages of dating, and then once you become 'his', he begins to scorn and hate that part of you? Manipulating and cajoling you into becoming Eve all of the time. Which women usually buy into, silently agreeing to his demands for a multitude of reasons ranging from "he will love me more", or "I won't loose him if I become what he wants me to be" and the classic "It is 'right' to be a good woman, I must abandon that part of me which is 'bad".
Polarized Eve
You would of thought that becoming Eve 24/7 would fix the problem, right? Seems feasible to believe that if you become Eve, you will live happily ever after? Not true, what really happens is that you become shut down and repressed, resulting in the inevitable inner or outer 'betrayal" by your partner to seek out Lilith again, usually in the arms of another woman, or his mind. Doesn't really matter which – as it will be felt deeply by the woman as a third person/presence.
The real betrayal is between both parties. The woman betraying her full self, and the man betraying his innocence as he sides with the dualistic nature of his mind. I feel that a woman can accept her Lilith and Eve aspects relatively easily once we are told about them and embark on some sexual healing to bring them back into balance. I feel at this current time on the planet it's the masculine that is rigidly holding on what is seen as 'good' and 'bad' and finds it very difficult to see 'his' woman bearing both fruits.
The usual ending to this tale is that the man goes out to hunt for Lilith, seeking an illicit affair that seems to bring him back to life, as at first he is enticed and seduced, thrilled by the masterful knowingness of Lilith's charms. Yet it is a presence that he can not handle for very long, as she too is polarized and knows only one identity. Eventually, just as he feels he is about to become 'lost' in her presence, he reverts and runs from her in terror. He is afraid of her power and seduction, fearful that she is claiming his soul that he runs back to Eve begging for her forgiveness. Eve being a good and nice person accepts him back yet secretly writhes in pain; she has become broken inside, distrust of the masculine sets root as she cries infinite tears in the realization that she has shamefully disconnected from her Lilith. Not only that, but the once true bond between her and Adam has been broken and now only exists as a form of fusion, a connection based on a lie. And that my dear fellow humans, is where we find ourselves now.
That is where men get hooked into this particular form of duality.
This drama can be easily healed by both people by at first, simply understanding and owning this type of duality. Ask to see and feel the deeply unconscious energies of attraction and repulsion towards Lilith, which sleep dormant within you until triggered.
Once you have the energies to hand, both people will need to begin a course in sexual healing. A woman has to be shown, guided and encouraged how to re-awaken Lilith (its usually Lilith that has been suppressed – although it can be a role-reversal). We will cover that in Part: 2 of this article.
While a man has to root out his belief systems that he has embedded into his mind, that he wants Eve as a partner/wife and Lilith as a lover at arms' length. Once he was done that, he will then have to be re-introduced to a woman who healthily houses both qualities. It will have to become his 'experience' that two are actually one. Lilith and Eve can comfortably live within a true woman.
And that my dear female friends are where we all have to go. To soulfully reunite with our Lilith and Eve within us. Feeling comfortable with both aspects, releasing all shame and grief from within the archetypes, until there really only is One Woman. As your male partner is only mirroring what is being felt by your inner masculine.
You know this is true.
But like most things on the spiritual path – the woman has to go first and take those first courageous steps, only because the masculine has become so 'set', it is only the fluidity of the feminine that can bring about balance. It has been my intention to create the Awakening of the Seven Gates and the Forgotten Woman workshops to address this split and to bring about a rapturous reunion.

Luis López (n. San Miguel de Tucumán, Tucumán, Argentina; 25 de noviembre de 1981) más conocido como el Tucu López es un locutor de radio y presentador de televisión argentino. Alcanzó la popularidad al ser el conductor del programa UPlay, ya nada será igual (2015–2017) emitido por Telefe.

Carrera
López se recibió de locutor en la Universidad del Norte Santo Tomás de Aquino y comenzó a conducir su propio programa radial. En 2001, trabajó como productor teatral de la primera obra de revista tucumana titulada La deuda eterna, con la cual se embarcó en una gira por Catamarca y Salta. En 2004, tras haber realizado un curso de doblaje de español neutro en Buenos Aires, López decidió instalarse allí, ya que había conseguido trabajo como grabador de contestadores telefónicos para una empresa. Durante ese tiempo, también se encargó de hacer el doblaje de una película de Playboy y de personajes de dibujos animados japoneses. Asimismo, se dedicó a estudiar producción de televisión en el Taller Escuela Agencia y en 2005 participó del reality Proyecto 48 producido por TNT y Cuatro Cabezas, del cual resultó ser el gandor con sus otros 2 compañeros, pudiendo así dirigir su primer cortometraje y de esa forma la productora Cuatro Cabezas lo contrató para ser asistente de cámara de los programas Caiga quien caiga y La liga, como así también de los canales History y Discovery Channel hasta el 2011.

Su siguiente trabajo en un medio nacional fue en la radio con el programa Gente sexy (2011–2012) transmitido por la Blue 100.7, donde ofició al principio como productor y luego se desempeñó como locutor junto a Clemente Cancela. Poco después, López se encargó de ser la voz institucional del canal Acqua de la Televisión digital terrestre en Argentina. En 2012, le llegó la oportunidad de ser el locutor frente a cámara del programa Medios locos conducido por Maju Lozano y emitido por América TV, donde cobró notoriedad por su desempeño y su contacto con los invitados.  Ese mismo año, fue convocado para trabajar como columinsta de deportes en el programa radial Lalo Por Hecho transmitido por La 100 y el cual perduró hasta el 2016. Asimismo, fue convocado para ser panelista del programa Cadena de noticias de A24, donde compartió pantalla con Gisela Marziotta, Tomás Dente y Cielo Latini.  En 2014, Darío Turovelzky lo convocó para ser el locutor del programa de salud Doctores presentado Franco Bagnato y televisado por Telefe.

Aunque no fue hasta en 2015, donde tomó popularidad cuando fue convocado para ser el conductor del programa cómico de vídeos UPlay, ya nada será igual, el cual fue emitido por Telefe y se mantuvo por 3 temporadas al aire, finalizando en el 2017.

Join Team Aurora Early Learning Centre in 2019 Mother's Day Classic Aurora Early Learning Centre Blacktown Child Care.
Aurora Early Learning Centre has created a team to join this year's Mother's Day Classic that will take place in Parramatta on Sunday 12 May 2109.
We are hoping to make a difference in our community. Some of us may have had the unfortunate brush with breast cancer with our loved ones or someone we know. As a personal story, our Centre owner, Dalal's husband, Sony Lim has had 2 indirect encounters with breast cancer. He lost one of his dear aunt to breast cancer in early 90's. Subsequently last year, Sony's mother, Arlina was diagnosed with breast cancer and has fortunately survived it. Fortunately, she has been living cancer free since.
Sunday 12 May 2019 from 6.30am.
Pick whichever type of distance (4km or 8km) or walk/run that you prefer. It doesn't matter which one you select as we all have mixed preferences in our team.
Participate in a team & join "Aurora Early Learning Centre".
We have also created a Donation page to contribute to breast Cancer Research under Mother's Day Classic. Below is the link. Please do make a difference where possible.
Your donation and fundraising efforts go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, a 100% community-funded organisation. The National Breast Cancer Foundation invests in innovative world-class research and works towards zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030. That includes research to improve detection, develop new treatments and help women and men affected by breast cancer live longer and better lives.
It's a decision that gives hope to the 50 women diagnosed with breast cancer in Australia every day. We are thrilled of the opportunity for you to share in our common goal to raise the fund this year and continue to support vital research projects. Together we can make Mother's Day mean more.


Because the QPaintDevice is the QOpenGLWindow. Instead of passing 'this' to QPainter, create a http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qopenglpaintdevice.html on the stack (while the appropriate context is current), and pass that. You will probably need to pass in the FBO dimensions to the QOpenGLPaintDevice constructor.
Subject: Re: [Interest] QOpenGLWindow or QOpenGLWidget if need to render to framebuffer?
Following your answer on Context and FBO, I tried to convert the Qt QOpenGLWindow sample to render to Oculus.
As I just need to render to Oculus, not the QOpenGLWindow, I use only the context created by QOpenGLWindow and create FBO with that.
In my rendering, some parts are correctly rendered to FBO, but some remained on the on screen QOpenGLWindow.
// Switch to eye render target, bind FBO etc.
The background and the fixed function pipeline triangle is rendered to FBO and then to headset.
But the QPainter triangle does not seem to be rendered to the FBO and remains on screen.
Since I use one context, is there something I may have missed that may have conflicted with QPainter?

Q: Find the value of $(x^{2}+y^{2})$ If $x^{3}-3xy^{2}=10$, $y^{3}-3x^{2}y=30$
Find $$(x^{2}+y^{2})$$
I tried but I got nothing, any help please?

A: $$(x+iy)^3 = (x^3-3xy^2) + i(3x^2y-y^3) $$
gives $(x+iy)^3 = 10-30 i $. If we multiply by the conjugate (i.e. take norms):
$$ (x^2+y^2)^3 = 10^2+30^2 = 1000 $$
we immediately get $x^2+y^2=\color{red}{10}$.

Firefighters and animal services in Bastrop County, Texas responded quickly to the distress call to rescue a puppy.
Dogs are naturally curious, especially the youngest of them. This is sometimes worth a few mishaps, as was the case of this puppy.
On Friday, April 6th, Jennifer Carroll, director of the Wags Association, Hope, and Healing, was contacted by a local resident who was completely panicked. One of her foxy dog's three cubs had just stuck his head in an old car wheel and kept crying.
She first tried to help by phone and explained the maneuver, but it did not work. Firefighters and county animal services were called to the rescue.
The rescuers arrived on the scene in a few minutes. They deployed the necessary equipment, including metal tongs and hydraulic extrication equipment, but these devices were unable to overcome the metal trap and the puppy, a female, was still trapped in the location.
Despite her situation, the mother seemed to understand that everyone was there to help her baby. A dog can become aggressive when she sees her baby in distress and people get close to her, but that was not her case at all.
This is where one of the firefighters had an idea, remembering that most puppies naturally tend to tilt their heads when they sit down. The young dog was then gently seated and manipulated until she was released, much to the relief of her mother.
The association then proposed to the owner to take care of the sterilization and identification of Foxy and her puppies. Once the operations are complete, the dog will return to her family and her youngsters will propose for adoption. Volunteers named them after car tire brands: Goodyear, Michelin, and Dunlop.


Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey has hit a magnificent level since the start of the season for Atletico Madrid, relegating one of the 'untouchables' Gabi Fernandez to the bench.
The Spaniard has seen his influence dwindled drastically in recent matches due to the presence of the African.
Partey has snatched the ownership through effort and good play.
Gabi, 34, who is the captain of the Rrojiblanco, is no longer a fixture in Simeone's eleven. Put another way, the rojiblanco captain is no longer essential for Simeone.
In the Cholo teams it was a normal norm to see Gabi as a starter, but at the start of this season 17-18 this is no longer the case, since Thomas is performing at a spectacular level and has become a key piece for the Argentine coach.
The Black Star is facing his most important year in Atletico Madrid as it may be that of his consecration in the first team.
He is contracted to the club until June 30, 2022 and given that he's only 24, there is more time ahead of him to become untouchable.

"But reading Finnegans Wake is more than a matter of collecting one's favorite quotations – even if there is a huge pleasure in that, especially if you admire truly terrible jokes." Michael Wood writes an essay on James Joyce, Lewis Carroll, and the origins of clever wordplay for the London Review of Books.
If I could read just one book by Author X, which would it be? This may be the hardest question we can ask a fellow reader, insofar as it assumes that we can teleport straight to the heart of aesthetic experience, rather than journeying there over weeks or years. In fact, we often come to the books we love – and learn to love them – by way of other books: Dubliners primes us for Portrait, which shapes our expectations for Ulysses, which earns our indulgence for Finnegans Wake.
In this way, the justified hype surrounding the English publication last year of late Roberto Bolaño's 2666 (If you read only one book this year…) may have done some readers a disservice. Like Joyce's, Bolaño's is a sensibility that demands immersion, and for the kind of person who prefers to adjust to the swimming pool by inches rather than jumping straight into the deep end, the massive 2666 may have felt a lot like drowning.
In addition to the eight [books] that have swiftly and ably arrived in translation in the six years since his death in 2003 at age 50, four new books by Bolaño are scheduled to appear in 2010 (two novels, two story collections) with three others promised for 2011. What's more, according to recent reports out of Spain, another two finished novels have been found among Bolaño's papers, as well as a sixth, unknown part of . . . 2666.
And so, to help acclimate newcomers to this odd and essential author; to continue mapping the Bolañoverse, as Malcolm Cowley mapped Yoknapatawpha; and to impose some order on the flood of Bolaño releases, The Millions offers the following syllabus, which we'll update as further translations become available, and as we take comments into account.
Together, these two stories offer a précis of the personal mythology that animates Bolaño's most important work. The first explores Latin American – and especially Chilean – politics in the 1960s and 1970s and their impact on a generation of young writers. The second finds a Bolaño-like narrator many years later, in artistic and geographic exile.
This early novel, a compendium of fictional writers, offers our first glimpse of the hugeness of Bolaño's ambition. Not incidentally, it's an excellent introduction to his peculiar sense of humor, which compacts the absurd and the deadpan until it's hard to tell which is which. It's a favorite (See our review).
When it was published, this probably constituted Bolaño's most compelling narrative to date. An expansion of a chapter in Nazi Literature, it yokes together two signature preoccupations: poetry and detectives. Another favorite.
Tales of young Arturo Belano, I'm guessing. The former provides one of Bolaño's rare glimpses of fatherhood; the latter introduces the Caborca knife and Villaviciosa, the town of assassins. Both are implicated in Bolaño's later work.
What remains to be said about The Savage Detectives? Once you read this book, you'll want to read everything else this guy wrote (See our review).
Now that you've read The Savage Detectives, you're probably wondering: why all this fuss about poetry? You're probably also willing to bear with this collection, which mingles wheat and chaff, cream and crop, as it further adumbrates Bolaño's personal mythology. It's worth noting that Bolaño's gifts as a poet – narrative, character, and a dreamlike vision – are identical to his gifts as a novelist.
I humbly dissent from Wyatt Mason; this isn't a masterpiece. It is Bolaño's first published novel, however, and is one of his most technically accomplished. It won a regional writing contest, back in the days when (per "Sensini") Bolaño was entering scores of them. By this point, such things are probably interesting to you.
…As does this novella-length expansion on an incident from The Savage Detectives. I don't think this one is as successful as Distant Star, but by now, you're willing to forgive that, right? Arturo Belano features heavily here. And the heroine, Auxilio Lacoutre, feels like a sketch for Florita Almada of 2666…about which Auxilio (like Césarea Tinajero) seems to be having visions…is anyone else getting dizzy?
This is one of my two or three favorite Bolaño stories. Enrique seems to have contracted his numerological delirium from Auxilio and Césarea.
Supernova and apotheosis. You can read my take here.
Some people think that this short, late novel is Bolaño's finest, and though I don't agree with them, it's always good to save something for dessert. Of all Bolaño's books, this one seems to have the fewest connections with the others, and so perhaps it would be as good a place to start as to end.

Had Churchill really supported the King's brother Edward VIII's decision to abdicate the throne to marry divorcee Wallis Simpson?
Churchill had supported King Edward VIII during the Abdication Crisis, a decision that indeed hurt his reputation in the government. However, the Darkest Hour true story reveals that he did not want to see the King abdicate. Instead, he pushed for more time so that Parliament and the people could be consulted, even suggesting that if given more time, the King might fall out of love with the twice-divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson. Churchill believed that the Ministry was putting unconstitutional pressure on the King to make a rushed decision and feared that it would result in him unnecessarily giving up the throne. Despite the working class and veterans showing overwhelming support for the King, Churchill's position left his reputation damaged. The Abdication and its royal and political aftermath are addressed more closely in the Netflix series The Crown, which we've also researched.
Actor Gary Oldman (left) portrays Winston Churchill in The Darkest Hour movie. Winston Churchill (right) pictured while on a trip to the United States in 1941.
Why exactly did Neville Chamberlain resign as British Prime Minister?
Neville Chamberlain, Winston Churchill's predecessor, resigned due to a loss of confidence in his foreign policy after the Allies were forced to retreat from Norway, which resulted in the occupation of Norway by Germany. Chamberlain had been leading Britain in what had become known as the Phoney War. Despite Britain and France signing military assistance treaties with Poland, neither country had launched significant offensive operations after Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. Winston Churchill wanted to take the war into a more active phase, unlike Chamberlain, who was better suited to be a peacetime leader. He had left the country ill-prepared for war. In addition, the Labour and Liberal parties refused to join the government while Chamberlain was in charge.
While researching to answer the question, "How accurate is the Darkest Hour?" we learned that Neville Chamberlain did have cancer (colon cancer) and he died from it later that year. He had been in almost constant pain by the summer of 1940, so the scene where he's taking morphine makes sense. Winston Churchill delivered the eulogy at his funeral.
In the spring of 1940, was confidence in Churchill really as low as it is portrayed to be in the movie?
Yes. With his success in WWII, it is easy to assume Winston Churchill always had universal support. However, the Darkest Hour true story confirms that confidence in Churchill was indeed extremely shaky when he first took office. He had been Lord of the Admiralty under Chamberlain and was viewed as being largely responsible for the strategic failures in Norway. In addition, many had not forgotten his role in the disastrous Gallipoli Campaign during World War I, which resulted in him being demoted before resigning from the government for a short time. A lot of his counterparts in the Conservative Party thought he was an opportunist, and like in the movie, they preferred Lord Halifax instead. Churchill also faced staunch resistance from his rivals in Cabinet and in the opposition parties in general. Listen to his first speech as Prime Minister to the House of Commons, during which he promises that he has nothing to offer but "blood, toil, tears and sweat."

Was Churchill often mean to his staff?
Yes. In the Darkest Hour movie, Winston Churchill (Gary Oldman) scolds his personal secretary Elizabeth Layton (Lily James) for hearing him wrong and dictating the incorrect word. It's her first day working for him and his harshness scares her off. It was indeed hard to understand Churchill until you got used to how he spoke, and even harder over the sound of the typewriter. As in the film, he did not like changes in staff, nor did he like noisy typewriters. The real Elizabeth Layton did accidentally have the typewriter set to single-spacing, for which he called her a "a fool, a mug, an idiot" and told her to leave his presence. In real life, she did not try again for a few days. His demeanor with his staff is accurately depicted and his wife Clementine did get after him for it, even writing him a letter telling him to treat them better.
The real Elizabeth Layton confirmed Churchill's coarse ways in her 1958 memoir Mr. Churchill's Secretary, writing, "[T]hat great man - who could at any time be impatient, kind, irritable, crushing, generous, inspiring, difficult, alarming, amusing, unpredictable, considerate, seemingly impossible to please, charming, demanding, inconsiderate, quick to anger and quick to forgive - was unforgettable. One loved him with a deep devotion. Difficult to work for - yes, mostly; loveable - always; amusing - without fail."
The real Elizabeth Layton (pictured on the right during the war years) really did get scolded by Churchill on her first day for accidentally typing the dictation single-spaced. Lily James (left) portrays Layton in the movie.
Was Churchill's personal secretary, Elizabeth Layton, at his side during the events depicted in the film?
No, her role in the film is fictional. According to her obituary, she didn't become Winston Churchill's personal secretary until May 5, 1941, at the height of the Blitz. This was a year after the events in the movie. However, it's not hard to see why they included her in the film. She was his personal secretary and a close companion throughout most of the war, and indeed spent long hours with him in the subterranean Cabinet War Rooms. She detailed much of her experience in her 1958 book of memoirs, Mr. Churchill's Secretary, later re-titled Winston Churchill by his Personal Secretary.
While fact-checking the Darkest Hour, we learned that, like in the movie, the real Elizabeth Layton took notes by his bedside and accompanied him in his official car as she juggled a pen, paper, matches, his cigars, and the ministerial black box. It didn't take long for her to realize that he had "a loving heart," despite how difficult he could be. She was indeed fascinated by Churchill's ability as a writer and orator, commenting, "Sometimes his voice would become thick with emotion, and occasionally a tear would run down his cheek. As inspiration came to him, he would gesture with his hands, just as one knew he would be doing when he delivered his speech, and the sentences would roll out with so much feeling that one died with the soldiers, toiled with the workers, hated the enemy, strained for victory."
It's true that Elizabeth Layton was unmarried during the war. She met her husband, Frans Nel, during the victory celebrations in Whitehall in 1945. Her final wartime task was to take dictation for Churchill's historic VE-Day speech that he delivered on May 8, 1945.
Mr. Churchill's Secretary (re-titled Winston Churchill by his Personal Secretary) was written by the real-life Elizabeth Nel (formerly Layton) and offers an inside look at Churchill from the woman who worked by his side during the war years of 1941-1945.
Why didn't Viscount Halifax want to be Prime Minister?
In researching the Darkest Hour true story, we confirmed that there was indeed widespread support for Halifax (portrayed by Stephen Dillane) to step in as Prime Minister upon the resignation of Neville Chamberlain on May 10, 1940, but Halifax declined the position. His role in the House of Lords was given as the official reason. In reality, he lacked enough support from the Labour Party and also felt that Churchill would be a more suitable leader during wartime. He believed that he would largely lose his voice should he step into the role himself, especially since Churchill would still be First Lord of the Admiralty and orchestrating the conduct of the war anyway. In his memoirs, Halifax stated:
I had no doubt at all in my own mind that for me to succeed him would create a quite impossible situation. Apart altogether from Churchill's qualities as compared with my own at this particular juncture, what would in fact be my position? Churchill would be running Defence, and in this connexion one could not but remember the relationship between Asquith and Lloyd George had broken down in the first war... I should speedily become a more or less honorary Prime Minister, living in a kind of twilight just outside the things that really mattered.
Was Churchill's wife Clementine really as central of a figure in his life?
Yes. Their loving relationship is accurately depicted in the movie. He affectionately called her "Cat" and her pet name for him was "Pig" (or occasionally "Pug"). It's also true that their relationship and family in general took a backseat to his life in politics. In the movie, Clementine accurately describes the toll it took on the family when she is at home toasting his appointment as PM. -The Telegraph
Despite Winston Churchill's wife Clementine coming in second to politics, she remained an unwavering constant who always stood by him.
Churchill's wife says they're broke. Was that true?
In answering the question, "How accurate is the Darkest Hour?" we discovered that Churchill's expensive tastes indeed put a strain on the family's finances. In the movie, Clementine (Kristin Scott Thomas) tells him they're broke. His penchant for cigars and fine liquor did not come cheap. He also was paying to maintain their country home in Chartwell. Churchill had earned well as a journalist, but it wasn't until the publication of his memoirs of the Second World War that he found true financial independence. The memoirs were the main reason he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. -TIME
The Gathering Storm is the first volume of Winston Churchill's bestselling memoirs about the Second World War.
Did they really meet in the underground War Rooms?
Not exactly. The real underground bunker known as the War Rooms were located near Parliament and functioned as part map room and part air-raid shelter. However, the movie's use of them by Churchill in May of 1940 is fictional. "There's a slight inaccuracy because the war rooms, although they were opened at the end of August 1939, were not used by Churchill after he became Prime Minister until September 1940 because there were no bombing raids," says Phil Reed, the Darkest Hour's historical adviser and director emeritus of the Churchill War Rooms, which are now a museum. "It was meant to be a place he could meet in safety during a bombing raid—although they most certainly weren't safe." -TIME
The movie does do a good job at getting some of the smaller details right. During the heated discussions in the film, Churchill can be seen tapping his signet ring on the arm of his chair. If you visit the War Rooms today, Churchill's chair is behind glass. A closer examination reveals that on the arm of the chair are scratches from where he tapped his ring, albeit at a later point in time than depicted in the movie. -The Telegraph
Did Churchill get into heated discussions with Halifax during meetings of the War Cabinet?
Yes, but the movie seems to dramatize the emotions a bit, which erupt into all-out shouting matches in the film. Fact-checking The Darkest Hour confirmed that voices did emerge in corners of the War Cabinet suggesting coming to terms with Germany, and the biggest voice in favor was indeed that of Churchill's Foreign Secretary, Viscount Halifax. He even threatened to resign should there be no attempt made to negotiate peace terms with Germany. Like in the film, Viscount Halifax and Neville Chamberlain wanted Britain to enter into peace negotiations through Mussolini's intermediaries.
In attempting to stand his ground, Churchill bore an enormous weight on his shoulders during the month of May 1940 and this is conveyed rather effectively in the movie. "Until the time that Lord Halifax and Chamberlain decided that there was to be no parlay with the Italians, I just can't conceive of what he was carrying on his shoulders. I can't conceive it," says Churchill's grandson, Nicholas Soames. The battles between Prime Minister Churchill and Foreign Secretary Halifax are referred to collectively as the May 1940 War Cabinet Crisis. -The Telegraph
The heated arguments between Viscount Halifax and Churchill during the War Cabinet meetings in the movie weren't quite as volatile in real life. Stephen Dillane (left) portrays Halifax in the movie and the real Halifax is on the right.
Did Churchill really become increasingly indecisive about standing his ground against entering into peace negotiations with Germany?
No. Though Churchill admitted guardedly and behind closed doors that he would consider terms presented by Germany, the Darkest Hour true story reveals that he wasn't on the verge of seeking them. Instead, he was likely trying to buy time until British forces were successfully evacuated from Dunkirk. There wasn't a nail-biting decision to stand his ground like in the movie, and he was far more decisive than he is depicted. Churchill by then knew that Hitler could not be trusted, and if Britain was to fight a resistance campaign against German occupation, capitulation would be both a moral surrender and a crushing blow to any attempt at unifying the country.
On May 28, 1940, Churchill instructed his War Cabinet "that every man of you would rise up and tear me down from my place if I were for one moment to contemplate parley or surrender. If this long island story of ours is to end at last, let it end only when each one of us lies choking in his own blood upon the ground." -National Review
The real Winston Churchill (right) was more decisive than the movie portrays. Gary Oldman (left) as Churchill in the Darkest Hour movie.
Did Churchill really make a late-night phone call to President Roosevelt, pleading for help?
It's true that at that point in the spring of 1940, most Americans wanted no part of Europe's war. However, it's unlikely the late-night call ever happened, specifically because that direct scrambled phone line didn't exist until 1943 (Slate.com). In the Darkest Hour movie, Churchill asks Roosevelt for the ships Britain bought, "We paid for them . . . with the money that we borrowed from you." Roosevelt reminds him that by law the United States cannot come to Britain's rescue. The scene ends with Churchill slamming the phone down in frustration. It certainly captures the desperation Britain felt as Hitler's grasp was tightening around its neck. -National Review
Above: Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt pictured at the White House in 1941.
The phone call basically verbalizes the real May 15, 1940 letter that Prime Minister Churchill wrote to President Roosevelt, in which he asks for "the loan of forty or fifty of your older destroyers", "several hundred of the latest types of aircraft", "anti-aircraft equipment and ammunition", and "steel". In the letter, he emphasizes the dire situation in Europe and the need for the United States to help. "But I trust you realize, Mr. President, that the voice and force of the United States may count for nothing if they are withheld too long." Read the full text of Churchill's May 15 Letter to Roosevelt. Churchill had been writing Roosevelt ever since he had become First Lord of the Admiralty on September 3, 1939.
Four days after penning the letter to Roosevelt, Churchill also stressed the need for more airplanes, tanks and guns in his "Be Ye Men of Valour" radio address, which is heard in the movie.
Did Elizabeth Layton's brother really die while fighting in France?
No. In the movie, Churchill (Gary Oldman) learns that the brother of personal secretary Elizabeth Layton (Lily James) has died fighting in France. It's a moving moment in the film, as Churchill is visibly filled with emotion but at the same time amazed at the bravery in Layton's face as she carries on. Nowhere in her memoir, titled Winston Churchill by his Personal Secretary, does Layton mention her brother dying. Instead, she mentions Churchill arranging for her to spend time at her brother's home in Canada later while they were on a mid-war trip to the United States. Layton also had a sister who migrated to South Africa to join her after the war (Layton married South African Lieutenant Frans Nel in 1945).
Did a late-night meeting result in Churchill and King George VI becoming friends?
No. In fact-checking The Darkest Hour, we discovered that while it's true that King George VI was not always a fan of Churchill, their friendship took much longer to develop in real life. The process is sped up for the movie. The king's consoling visit makes sense artistically, but given that it took the length of the war for them to develop a mutual respect and fondness for one another in real life, the scene doesn't make sense chronologically.
It is true that the two had a great deal in common. For instance, when Churchill tells the king about his parents, it's believable that this could have arose in their Monday meetings. They were both brought up by glamorous mothers and bad-tempered fathers. Both exhibited bravery when they served in the Great War. At the end of WWII, King George wrote Churchill a touching letter telling him that he was banned from joining the troops on D-Day, since the risk to his life was too great. -The Telegraph
The King's late-night visit with Churchill never happened in real-life, nor did the immediate friendship that was created because of it.
Did Winston Churchill ride the London Underground to get a sense of the mood of ordinary Brits in relation to the war?
No. In the movie, after King George (Ben Mendelsohn) pays Winston Churchill (Gary Oldman) a late-night visit and suggests that he go to the people, Churchill decides to take a ride on the London Underground to discover how ordinary Brits feel about potentially entering into peace negotiations with Germany. Despite this being one of the more moving moments in the movie, it's also one of the more far-fetched ones, as there is little evidence to support that anything similar happened. -The Telegraph
Director Joe Wright called the scene a "fictionalization of an emotional truth," reasoning that Churchill was known to go AWOL at times. "They didn't know where he went," said Wright. "And he was also known to go and visit the people of London and seek their counsel, and have a little cry with them sometimes." In admitting the scene is fiction, Wright says that he made sure to be most factual when it came to the characters themselves, who could not defend themselves against historical inaccuracies. In real life, the only time Churchill had reportedly ever ridden on the Underground was during the general strike of 1926. -CinemaBlend.com
Implying that Londoners Churchill met gave him the words he would use in his most defining speech misrepresents him as a leader. He was not the people's puppet. He felt that God had placed him on Earth to lead the British people. He would later write, "At last I had the authority to give directions over the whole scene. I felt as if I were walking with destiny, and all my past life had been but a preparation for this hour and for this trial. . . . I was sure I should not fail." -National Review
Unlike the Darkest Hour movie, the real Winston Churchill never rode the London Underground to get advice from the citizens.
Did Gary Oldman gain weight to look more like Winston Churchill?
No. Instead, Gary Oldman recruited legendary makeup artist Kazuhiro Tsuji, who had retired from doing makeup for movies. Tsuji had previously worked on well-known films like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), Planet of the Apes (2001) and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000). Oldman, who is almost 60, said that at his age he knew it would be especially unhealthy to put on 50 or 60 pounds for the role. For 48 days of consecutive shooting, the fat suit, clothes and makeup took just under four hours to put on and almost an hour to take off.
Oldman told Graham Norton that he got nicotine poisoning on the set from smoking roughly twelve cigars a day in order to portray Winston Churchill. "I went through $30,000 of cigars on the set," said Oldman. "I basically had a bad stomach for the three months I was on [the set]." By Christmas, his stomach problems had persisted for so long that he found himself having a colonoscopy done. Oldman says it's a price to pay but it was worth it.
It took four hours for makeup artist Kazuhiro Tsuji to make Gary Oldman look like Winston Churchill. Oldman is pictured without makeup (inset).

Mr. Churchill's Secretary
Re-titled "Winston Churchill by his Personal Secretary"


Hello all, I'm building my first saber. I want to start simple but with plenty of room for upgrades. I've attached a photo of a wiring guide and parts, I would appreciate any advice on my plan.
Thank you for any and all comments!
A single li-ion cell will not power a BuckPuck properly. You need a minimum of 5v to run them. You could either use a 2-cell pack (7.4v) or swap your BuckPuck out for a resistor.
Personally, I would use a resistor and the single li-ion. That way, it would be easier to add in a Nano Biscotte at a later date.
Given the option I would rather have the single cell 18650, have plenty of them already. What resistor would you recommend?
The math isn't that hard. You'll find the forward voltage value for your LED on the store page. There's also a resistor calculator in my signature, but it tends to round up values unnecessarily. It's good for double-checking your math to see if you're in the right ballpark.
The calculator output, 1.2 Watt capable or greater 1.2 ohm resistor.
That will work fine. You can always use a higher wattage resistor than what is recommended, it won't affect the brightness of the LED. Don't go overboard unless you need to, since the 5-10W resistors are BIG and eat up precious hilt space.
I got 1.13ohm and 1.13w.
So going to a higher resistor won't affect the brightness, does it affect battery life?
Higher wattage won't affect brightness or battery life. It just affects how much current can go through it at once before the magic smoke comes out. So long as you meet the calculated minimum, you're safe.
Ohms will affect brightness and battery life. If you go lower, you overdrive the LED. The LED will run brighter and hotter, and you run the risk of blowing it out. If you go higher, the LED will be dimmer. We generally recommend the value closest to the calculated value, rounding up is preferred over rounding down.


I used card stock in all of the colors, to help ground this card. I ran the crumb cake card stock thru the vintage wallpaper embossing folder. Now, for my collage stamping. I started with the oval stamp. I did a second generation stamp of this image in the lucky limeade classic ink. I then stamped over it with the diamond shape flourish with the label center in lucky limeade classic ink. I stamped the wings piece in island indigo over the lower portion of this collage. I added the small flourish in crumb cake classic ink in opposite corners. I used the Label collection to cut the shape. I added some dimensionals to the back of the 'label' piece. I tied some of the ruffled ribbon around the main piece. To give the card some sparkle and shimmer, I sprayed the whole card with some vanilla smooch.
I hope you have found some inspiration, and don't forget to stop by and see what the rest of the design team has created @ Nacho Average Challenge.
So pretty!! I love what you did with that stamp set!

Their lives gradually become entangled into a sinister situation with intense and unfortunate results. Written and directed by Academy Award winner Woody Allen.


Ahead of the November 19 Fall Special Town Meeting, The Rochester Planning Board held a series of public hearings for seven bylaw articles slated for the warrant.
Two of these articles pertain to the legislative requirements of the Green Communities Act, a state designation the Town hopes to achieve.
The first option is an article proposing a "Ground-Mounted Solar Photovoltaic Installation" overlay district for the town's capped landfill where a solar field would be allowed "as of right" without the need of a special permit. Only a site plan review would be required.
"If you were going to pick a part of Rochester where you could say you could put solar … that would be the only place," commented Town Counsel Blair Bailey.
As it did with all the proposed articles, the board voted to recommend adoption by Town Meeting.
"We could do an either/or," said Johnson. Solar, as the prior article allows, "or we could create manufacturing or research and development.
"We decided to do all three just in case the solar didn't pass at Town Meeting," Johnson stated.
The bylaw would specify the types of renewable energy research allowed in the overlay district, and the board chose to prohibit wind energy from the bylaw.
One article would re-number the general heading of the zoning bylaw, combining all overlay districts into one heading, as Johnson explained it. The article would organize each overlay district that is currently scattered throughout the bylaw.
Another article addressed some amendments suggested by the zoning bylaw subcommittee some time ago, but were not deemed priorities at the time. The article would consolidate into one section the amount of acreage required for two-, three-, and other multi-family houses – their different lot requirements such as sizes and setbacks – and puts them all together in one "more user-friendly" format, as Johnson put it. In most cases, applicants would not have to go before the Zoning Board of Appeals for approval, needing only a variance for certain other criteria.
The next article addresses the multiple smaller accessory structures on agricultural land, giving more specific details on what is allowed and what would require zoning approval, while another article addresses temporary storage units that would be allowed in front yard areas.
One final article that addresses some bylaw "housekeeping" to add a section that Johnson described as "a general philosophy" and "guiding principle" of the bylaw as it pertains to residential growth and the town's status as a Right to Farm community.
All the articles were received with a unanimous positive vote to recommend at the November 16 Fall Special Town Meeting to take place at Rochester Memorial School at 7:00 pm.
In other business, the board granted an Approval Not Required application for Logan Smith for three lots at 69 Ryder Road. The plan includes a paved apron and road improvements to Old Middleboro Road, as well as a catch basin for stormwater.
In response to a request from Connet Woods, the board allowed an extension for road paving until December 15.
The board also voted not to recommend the Board of Selectmen exercise its right of first refusal for the sale of 440 Snipatuit Road.
The next meeting of the Rochester Planning Board is scheduled for December 11 at 7:00 pm at the Rochester Town Hall.

Op-Ed: Should the US beef up its presence in the Pacific? No
By John B. QuigleyTribune News Service
Deliberately sailing into areas China considers as territorial waters is not a good idea.
The United States is raising the profile of its naval activity in response to Chinese assertiveness in the waters of the South China Sea. But it is far from clear that such activity on our part will resolve the admittedly volatile situation in those waters.
Tension has been highest of late in waters not far from the Philippines that are claimed by China. Fishing rights are the flash point. In May, U.S. Coast Guard ships staged a joint exercise with two Philippines naval vessels in those waters. The apparent purpose was to send a message to China.
It is hard to ascertain how much help the Philippines wants, or whether we are pushing it to take it.
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has been going easy on China over its incursions in Philippines-claimed waters in return for billions of dollars of Chinese investments in his country.
Duterte is under pressure domestically to challenge China more vigorously, especially in the wake of a recent incident in which a Filipino fishing vessel was rammed and sunk, apparently by a Chinese vessel.
The introduction of the U.S. Coast Guard in the picture is a recent development. Coast Guard cutters USCGC Bertholf and USCGC Stratton are now deployed with the U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet, operating out of its base in Yokosuka, Japan.
U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Area Commander Vice Admiral Linda Fagan says that a Coast Guard presence in the South China Sea shores up the sovereignty of "partner nations" in the disputed waters.
"Partner nations" would include the Philippines and Vietnam, which is also in contention with China over waters in the South China Sea. Vice Admiral Fagan explains that the Coast Guard vessels help "law enforcement and capacity-building in the fisheries enforcement realm."
You can be forgiven if you are surprised that the U.S. Coast Guard has a Pacific Area Command, or that it bases vessels in Japan. A Coast Guard website explains, proudly, that its Pacific Area Command encompasses "six of the seven continents, 71 countries, and more than 74 million square miles of ocean."
The Coast Guard was created by an Act of Congress to guard our own coasts. By one provision of that law the president may send the Coast Guard to assist foreign governments. But the worldwide reach developed by the Coast Guard goes far beyond what Congress authorized.
The U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet already has 75 ships and submarines and 140 aircraft. Its personnel roster tops 40,000. That is more than enough for a mission whose aims are not well-defined. Some of its personnel have formed a brass band that gives good-will concerts in Asia.
A U.S. Navy website explaining our policy stresses that we have treaties with Korea, Japan and the Philippines to defend them if they are attacked. But the treaties don't require long-term deployment of thousands of naval personnel.
The most visible component of U.S. naval policy has been so-called "freedom of navigation" operations, where we send a vessel into waters of the South China Sea that China claims as territorial waters.
China often reacts to actions it considers as trespassing. In a number of instances, these operations have nearly resulted in military confrontation.
Our naval presence in Asia, if it is to continue at all, needs clarification.
At a recent security conference in Singapore, Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan criticized China for its territorial claims in the South China Sea. But while in Singapore, Shanahan met with China's Minister of Defense to plan for exchanges between the two militaries. We seem to be coordinating militarily with China at the same time as we are confronting it.
Until we have precise objectives in the South China Sea, and ways to carry them out that don't violate federal law, there is little reason to fund large naval forces there.

Dál se bál, a proto se vrátil do Lagosu v Portugalsku. Následujícího roku se mu podařilo obávaný mys obeplout, čímž se stal prvním Evropanem, kterému se to podařilo, a otevřel tak možnosti k dalším plavbám podél pobřeží. V roce 1435 podnikl třetí cestu. Proplul kolem mysu Búdždúr dál na jih, kde se mu podařilo asi 150 kilometrů jižně od mysu přistát u pobřeží Afriky, kde objevil stopy lidí.

Home/Education/Chomping Hate: UF's approach to antisemitism following hateful remarks
Chomping Hate: UF's approach to antisemitism following hateful remarks
By Jessica Seldner
November 30, 2022 Education, Florida Good, Sports
Members of the Jewish community at the University of Florida are standing together with support from peers, parents, faculty and alumni in the weeks after an antisemitic message was displayed at a football game.
Rabbi Jonah Zinn said he received texts from many disturbed students on Oct. 29. That night, the message "Kanye is right about the Jews!!!" was projected multiple times in Jacksonville during the Gators' matchup against the University of Georgia.
Zinn is the executive director of UF Hillel, which is an on-campus Jewish organization. He said antisemitism is nothing new, but this escalation is an example of people becoming more empowered to threaten others, even at college sporting events.
"Football games are supposed to be fun, and seeing people perpetuate messages of hate is really upsetting," Zinn said.
He said this latest incident inspired him and other UF Hillel staff to launch the Chomp Hate campaign. He said "Chomp Hate" does not only apply to antisemitism. It also acts as a more general message to combat all acts of hate occurring on the university's campus like the defacement of the Divine Nine Peace Garden, which honors Black fraternities and sororities at UF.
"This creates an opportunity for people to show solidarity and also talk about what's going on – the issues facing the Jewish community and hate more broadly," Zinn said.
UF Hillel staff are hosting several events in an effort to engage with the community amid the response from students. They have reached out to students as a resource for support or counsel. Staff and students also tabled in Turlington to spread the campaign by passing out flyers, stickers and pins.
UF Hillel organized meetings with administrators where students could talk about their concerns and suggestions to make the campus a safer and more welcoming place for Jewish students. Hundreds of Jewish and non-Jewish students and community members attended a solidarity Shabbat on Nov. 4.
On Nov. 12, dozens of students, parents and alumni attended UF Hillel's Chomp Hate Solidarity Tailgate at the last home game of the season. For many parents, this was the first time they have been able to see their children since the incident in Jacksonville.

For them, it was an opportunity to reunite and check in as well as connect with other families. The Hillel at the University of Florida is one of the largest in the country. Hillel International reports there are 6,500 Jewish students at UF, accounting for 19% of the student population.
According to a list from hillel.org, UF ranks as the No. 1 top public university by the Jewish student population. This is the same list that Carrie Scheiner, 53, consulted while thinking about schools for her daughter.
"When we were looking for schools in Florida, I wanted to make sure it was in the top 60 list," Scheiner said. "I think it's important to have a community that has similar cultural experiences as you."
Her daughter Felicia, a sophomore advertising major, was in Jacksonville on Oct. 29. Scheiner said she was surprised to hear Felicia telling her about the message.
"It was very concerning that there would be language that targets a college event," Scheiner said. "In today's world, it is concerning to have children in college anywhere now that there's school shootings, racism and antisemitism."
Scheiner said she still feels comfortable with her daughter going to UF.
"I would never question whether the University of Florida is a safe place for Jewish students," Scheiner said.
She said that as soon as the incident happened, Rabbi Zinn connected with the entire university community, which resulted in deans, campus organizations and fraternities and sororities denouncing it. Scheiner said it was great to see the support from the university, administration and student organizations.
"From a reactive perspective, I think the community did a reasonable job of responding to that situation," Scheiner said. "From a proactive perspective, the Jewish community is doing a lot, but I'm not sure about the general community at large."
From the point of view of a student, Felicia said this antisemitic incident made her feel unsafe. She said her friends stopped wearing necklaces with the Star of David or their Hebrew name on it, and she considered doing the same.
"A part of me wants to because that's how people survive, but the other part of me doesn't want to because I don't want to be afraid of it," Felicia said. "I feel like I have a strong enough community here that I shouldn't have to take it off, so I haven't yet."
Now that it's been a few weeks since, Felicia said the shock and fear has begun to wear off, which has a lot to do with how active UF Hillel has been.
"The Hillel here has definitely lived up to and exceeded my expectations," Felicia said. "I have a strong enough community around me that I'm not really scared, and I like all that the UF Hillel has been doing to help."

UF Alumni Association President James Gadsby has attended a few of UF Hillel's solidarity events in support of their mission to chomp hate. He said he wants to see every student thrive.
"Everyone is created in the image of God and has infinite worth and value, so students and people of all backgrounds should have opportunities to be able to enjoy the UF experience," Gadsby said.
He said he fully supports the university's statement denouncing antisemitism. He said he takes his position seriously and hopes to help students feel more welcome.
"We don't want any student to feel unsafe or in a place where they're not supported or cared about," Gadsby said.
Since the joint statement, the University of Florida has not released another one about antisemitism. When reached out to about continued efforts to support Jewish students, strategic communications officials did not comment.
Even without further declared action from the university, parents said they are not discouraged.
"I think they've done a good job so far regarding the response," Scheiner said. "I think that UF does a great job at trying to keep all of its community safe and respected and appreciated."
