"SCROOGE MCDUCK" Is Really "DR. WHO": David Tennant
He was Huey, Dewey and Louie's Uncle, a Timelord, a foe of "Harry Potter" and inspired a "My Pretty Pony" among other roles. His name is David Tennant.
As of this writing David Tennant has had over 127 roles since 1988. This is a look at just some of his work, but first a little background.
David John McDonald was born April 18, 1971 in Bathgate, West Lothian, Scotland. His father was Alexander "Sandy" McDonald. A Scottish minister who rose to become "Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland". Where, as an Elder of the Church, he oversaw the yearly meeting of all the ministers of his faith in the country.
David's mother was Helen McLeod McDonald.
At the age of 3 David informed his parents that he planned to be an actor, because he was a fan of Tom Baker's "4th" "Dr. Who".
Above the "10th Doctor" meets his idol the "4th Doctor".
At the age of 16 David passed an audition for the prestigious "Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama" and studied there for the next four years. When he was ready to join the actor's union, "Equity", David discovered there was another David McDonald on the roles. So he took the new last name of "Tennant". Which he "Borrowed" from Neil Tennant of the "Pet Shop Boys" singing duo. Later to meet the "Screen Actor Guild's (SAG)" rules the young actor had to legally change his last name to Tennant.
There was a children's television anthology series in the U.K. from 1983 through 1989 entitled "Dramarama". On August 8, 1988, in Episode 13 of Season 6, entitled "The Secret of Croftmore", David Tennant made his first on screen appearance. His role was that of "Neil McDonald" and he had fourth billing in the five actor story. About a boy who receives assistance from his ghostly ancestors over his fear of moving from "Croftmore" to "Edinburgh".
Above David Tennant in his first on screen appearance. Six one time appearances on British television programs followed until "Takin' Over the Asylum". A six part mini-series on BBC Two originally shown between September 27 to November 1, 1994.
This is about a "Hospital Radio" station at a Glasgow Mental Hospital. For those not in the U.K., or unfamiliar with the term. "Hospital Radio" is an audio station within a hospital that is designed to lift the moods and help recovery of patients. In this mini-series actor Ken Stott, as "Eddie McKenna", runs the station and David Tennant is an enthusiastic contributor the the station. His character was "Campbell" who is also Bi-Polar.
Another six one time appearances and David Tennant was on the Thames River Patrol in the short lived, seven episode, ITV series "Duck Patrol".
Above first on left and below is Tennant as "Simon 'Darwin' Brown".
ITV planned the show as a one season fill, July 19 to August 30, 1998, but their television audience loved it. Immediately the ITV Executives planned a second season and a feature film, but with counterfeit merchandise being sold with sayings from the program and other factors. ITV shelved even a second season.
This show is important for those "Whovians" not living in the U.K. and unfamiliar with the program, because during David Tennant's run as "The Doctor". He had many throw away lines and props appear as both inside jokes and audience reminders of "Duck Patrol" and "Darwin". Which was his favorite role prior to entering his own "T.A.R.D.I.S.".
David Tennant's next appeared on screen as "Richard" a Northern England small town undertaker. The role was the lead in the motion picture "L.A. Without A Map". "Richard" has a short affair with an aspiring Hollywood actress named "Barbara" played by American Vinessa Shaw. Vinessa was in the Walt Disney motion picture from 1993 "Hocus Pocus".
The feature was a British, French and Finnish co-production and although part of it takes place in Los Angeles. The production never left the U.K. The film premiered on September 11, 1998 at the Toronto, Canada, Film Festival. It didn't get to the U.K. until one year later on September 17, 1999 and never came to the United States.
Above left to right Julie Delpy, Vincent Gallo, David Tennant and Vinessa Shaw. There is a scene in the film of a man just sitting on a bench without dialogue. He was played by a non on screen credited Johnny Depp. On the German posters for this picture Depp gets full billing.
Another 14 roles later and David Tennant was in his first "Dr. Who", but not as the "10th Doctor". Between November 13 to December 18, 2003 was the six part, 15 minutes each, animated "Doctor Who: Scream of the Shalka". "The Doctor" is sent to liberate a small English town from an alien race called the "Shalka".
The "Doctor", number never mentioned, was voiced by Richard E. Grant.
The "Master" was voiced by Derek Jacobi.
David Tennant voiced "The Caretaker" in only one of the six episodes.
Six other roles followed including a three part 2005 mini series "Casanova". David Tennant was the young "Casanova" and Peter O'Toole was his older self telling the story.
In 1953 the BBC ran a Science Fiction mini-series "The Quartermass Experiment" by author Nigel Kneale. It told the story of "Bernard Quatermass" and his "Rocket Group". They send the first manned rocket ship into space, but when it returned only one crewman, "Victor Carroon", survived. Slowly he is changing into an alien creature that could destroy all life on Earth. In 1955 Hammer Studios turned the three hour mini-series into a 82 minute motion picture entitled "The Quartermass X-periment". The film is known in the United States as "The Creeping Unknown". Kneale would write three more BBC mini-series about "Bernard Quartermass" and Hammer would turn two of them into motion pictures
On April 2, 2005 the BBC did their first "Live" broadcast in decades of a new production of Kneale's "The Quatermass Experiment" adopted by Bill Boyes. The live broadcast ran 97 minutes and starred Jason Flemyng, "Dr. Jekyll" in 2003's "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman", as "Quartermass" and co-starred David Tennant as "Doctor Gordon Briscoe".
On June 18, 2005 Christopher Eccleston was portraying the "9th Doctor" in "The Parting of the Ways". At the end of this episode Billie Piper's "Rose Tyler" witnesses the regeneration of the "9th Doctor" into the "10th Doctor". The fans of "Dr. Who" now had their first look at David Tennant for a matter of a couple of minutes.
On November 18, 2005, David Tennant, was seen both on television and in a motion picture in two different roles.
One was the annual November BBC fund raiser for the charity "Children in Need". In this case the stations viewers saw a 7 minute sneak preview of the new "Dr. Who" Christmas special. It first recreates the regeneration sequence of the "9th Doctor" into the "10th Doctor", but added "Rose Tyler" having problems dealing with the amnesic "10th Doctor". David Tenannt would be seen as the "10th Doctor" in the "Children in Need" specials for 2007 and 2008.
The second was in the motion picture was "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". In this chapter of the series David Tennant portrayed one of "Lord Voldermort's Death Eaters" "Bartimus 'Barty' Crouch, Jr".
On Christmas Day, December 25, 2005 Billie Piper's "Rose Tyler", in the actual sneak peaked episode, had to deal completely with David Tennant's amnesic and mostly unconscious "10th Doctor". As aliens started "The Christmas Invasion" and "Santa Claus" wasn't "Santa Claus".

From October 10, 2010 through October 12, 2019 on "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic". A supporting new Pony arrived with an "Hour Glass" on one side. He was initially called "Dr. Whooves", but would also be known as "Time Turner". This Doctor also traveled in a "T.A.R.D.I.S.".
Although "Dr. Whooves" was a take off on David Tennant's "10th Doctor" and was obviously him. Tennant did not voice the character. I have the following toy in my "Dr. Who" collection.

"Broadchurch" was created and written by Chris Chibnall, Chibnall came up with an interesting change to the original first season. He moved the story from the U.K. to the New England Seaboard of the United States and the American version became "Gracepoint".

17 Surprising Influences on Bible Art & Adaptations (Part 2)
Last week I began exploring the 17 influences that shape Bible Art and Bible Adaptations. If I was to summarize all five of the factors into one word, it would be History. As an adaptation, Bible Art necessarily relates to what came before it, namely the biblical stories that it seeks to adapt. Moreover, because those stories are old and most have been interpreted and adapted many times over the past millennia, Bible Art not only relates to the source in its original state but also to the crowded palimpsest that it has become. In contrast to these historical influences, the factors below emphasize the role of Bible artists themselves and how their unique characteristics, creativity, and potential help adaptations take shape.
6) The Stance of the Bible Artist Toward the Bible
When the Noah film came out, many Christians seemed surprised at how it not only departed from but even subverted its biblical source material. This was not a surprise to anyone who knew the director, Darren Aronofsky, and was aware that he was not coming to the story with a stance of faith. While non-Christians certainly can and have made thoughtful Bible Art and Bible adaptations, the stance of a Bible artist toward his source will often affect the way that the supernatural is incorporated and how the character of God is portrayed. With Noah, for example, although miracles are included, the film contextualizes itself as a fantasy rather than as historical; likewise, God's character and purposes in the film diverges significantly from that suggested by the original narrative.
Next time you enjoy Bible Art, consider:
Is the Bible artist's stance toward the Bible affecting the way he treats supernatural elements or the character of God?
7) The Bible Artist's Unique Interpretation, Invention, & Intention
Usually far too much influence is granted to the unique interpretation or invention of a particular creator of a piece of Bible Art compared to the number of other factors that we've been exploring. To take Aronofsky's Noah again as an example, overestimated how much an invented and under-appreciated the ways that the film borrowed from existing Jewish theological tradition.
There are, however, contributions for which Bible artists get too little credit, particularly in Bible movies aiming for a high degree of fidelity to the original source. The Passion of the Christ has a few invented characters and scenes, but even in the portions of the film that follow the Gospels with high precision, the framing of the shots and the use of genre-specific techniques like juxtaposition and non-linear narrative give those portions a very different feel compared to the gospels. When Bible artists include personal inventions in their adaptations, the best are not whole-sale departures from the original story/tradition (Noah inventing the idea of its title character trying to kill his family) but rather developments and extensions of it (The Passion's invented Mary scenes that develop the established relationship between Jesus and Mary).
While we can easily notice when Bible Art contains a newly invented scene or when its plot has been reframed, it's sometimes more difficult to go the extra step and ask ourselves how those changes have caused it to have a different intention than the original work. In Bible Art that attempts to question or subvert the original biblical narrative (again, Noah; also The Last Temptation of the Christ), we may feel the divergence in intention more strongly because the work is pushing upstream against the intention we expect based on our prior experience with the original biblical story. But Bible Art doesn't need to be subversive in order for it to have a different purpose than its source. The Jesus Storybook Bible differs from the real thing not because it raises additional questions and ambiguity but, on the contrary, because of how it limits the questions and ambiguity that the Bible leaves us with. Comforting readers with a sense of clarity and order is not anti-biblical, but neither is it biblical; it's a unique contribution that the author makes.
What are subtle ways in which the Bible artist is shaping my experience and interpretation of the biblical story?
When the Bible artist does invent characters or scenes, are these organic developments or do they signal a fairly radical departure from the source?
How do the changes introduced to the adaptation contribute to an intention or purpose that was not present in the original biblical story?
8) The Bible Artist's Unique Style or Tone
One caution we have to keep in mind before rushing to conclusions about the intention of a piece of Bible Art: not all the inventions or changes that a creator makes are due to a definite intention or purpose. Imagine if someone asked you to tell them the story of David and Goliath. Even if you just picked up your Bible and read the story to them word for word, there's one contribution that you couldn't help but make to the story: the sound and pace of your voice. In a similar way, Bible artists of all mediums can't help but leave their own personal imprint on the adaptations that they create, even if those imprints aren't directed toward a particular intention or goal. It's worth looking at adaptations in light of the other works that their creators make in order to see how they reflect certain patterns in tone and style.
How does this adaptation reflect artistic and thematic trends that I see in other works created by this Bible artist?
9) Multiple Bible Artists or Contributors
Up until this point, for the sake of clarity, we've spoken mostly in terms of solitary Bible artists. In reality, relatively few forms of Bible Art are the product of a single creator; even painting, which we Moderns think of as a very solitary enterprise, in past eras was often done by an entire workshop overseen by a master artist. Of course, the most obvious case of multiple Bible Artists collaborating together to produce a single work is film. As the credits will attest, Bible films are the result of an entire army of contributors of greater and lesser degrees of influence on the final product. The result is that some Bible Art has detectable traces of competing and/or complementary styles, tones, and intentions, weaving or crowding each other.
How many people contributed to this biblical adaptation? Can I identify their distinct and potentially competing influences of these Bible artists?
10) Access to Historical Knowledge (or Lack Thereof)
Modern people sometimes don't understand why some Bible Art is so manifestly a-historical, containing very Anglo-looking Jews dressed in garb contemporary to the creator. In part this is a stylistic choice, but the stylistic choice is often built on the simple fact that such knowledge either did not exist or was only accessible to a very limited group of specialists. Today, we live in a world that has accumulated vast amounts of archaeological data, and, more importantly, where such data can be accessed easily without being a specialist. This has contributed to our general preference for historical accuracy over anachronism, but in eras where verisimilitude was hardly possible, much less valued, the Bible Art that was created looked very different.
How do the creative choices behind this adaptation reflect the Bible artist's relative degree of historical and cultural knowledge?
11) Development of New Technologies and Techniques
We live in a time of unprecedented technological change and with it come new possibilities for arts of all kinds, including Bible Art. We're most aware of this when it comes to Bible movies and how the growth in special effects technology has enabled us to recreate miraculous events in more fantastic and photorealistic fashion. But technological innovations in the art world didn't begin in the past hundred years. Musical notation, book-binding, different kinds of paint and dye, and the printing press are all relatively recent technologies that modern Bible artists now take for granted.
In addition to the development of new tools, creators are constantly experimenting in order to find new ways to put their existing tools to work. These techniques are often produced or influenced by growth in math and science (e.g. a greater understanding of the human body or of proportion) and often become the springboard for new artistic movements or schools. Eventually, the embrace of a technique becomes so pervasive (e.g. realistic proportion post-Renaissance) that it becomes difficult for Bible artists to even conceive of what it would be like to work apart from it.
How did technology or new techniques open up and/or limit new possibilities for this adaptation compared to previous adaptations of the same Bible story?
How did technology or techniques not yet available at the time of this biblical adaptation limit and/or open up the possibilities for its Bible artist?

A day after Tamil Nadu Law Minister CVe Shanmugam threatened to take legal action against the filmmakers of Sarkar, AIADMK MLA and former Mayor of Madurai VV Rajan Chellappa on Thursday launched a protest in front of a multiplex in Madurai. He demanded that the film not be screened until the controversial scenes are removed from it.
Sarkar, a Deepavali release starring Vijay and directed by AR Murugadoss, was released on November 6 across the globe. The ruling AIADMK has objected to some scenes in the film which allegedly targets the state government. This includes scenes in which Murugadoss threw a government freebie into the fire, which the AIADMK has perceived as a dig at the Amma brand of welfare schemes.
A few legislators and ministers from the state government have already gone on record expressing their opposition to the movie and have said that appropriate legal action would be initiated against the director for the alleged defamatory scenes.
In Madurai, the MLA from North Madurai VV Rajan Chellappa led a protest on Thursday morning in front of the Cinipriya multiplex complex demanding the theatre authorities stop playing the film. Speaking to TNM, Rajan Chellappa said that they had gone to the theatre complex to submit a request letter to not screen Sarkar until the controversial scenes are removed from the film.
"Our lawyers have also filed a complaint with the commissioner of police in Madurai to order the theatres to not screen the movie in Madurai. Our demand is that till the controversial scenes that insult government schemes, our former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and the scenes that instigate violence are removed, the film must not be screened," the former Mayor of Madurai added.
A social activist has submitted a complaint to the Chennai City Police Commissioner on Thursday requesting him to file a case of sedition against director AR Murugadoss. The complaint, filed by G Devarajan, stated that the freebies were distributed by former Chief Ministers M Karunanidhi and J Jayalalithaa to be used by economically disadvantaged people in the state.
Adding that AR Murugadoss had committed a crime against the government by filming the movie, the complaint requested the commissioner to take action against AR Murugadoss under section 124A (Sedition) of the IPC.

When Camp Yellow Jacket has fallen into chaos, teen counselor Adam wakes up in a boarded up cabin with no memory of who or where he is. His only clues as to what's happening are the notes he's scrawled for himself on the walls and the disturbing physical transformation he must overcome. The only memories he has aren't his own, yet those memories may be the key to Adam's survival.
"The Hive is RIDICULOUSLY fun," said Chris Hardwick, CEO of Nerdist Industries. "Yarvo has managed to tell a horror story in a fantastic new way that is super creepy and intimate, yet ultimately unfolds into a much larger movie. I'm so excited that we could help bring to the world! I just want people to be able to see it ASAP."
"Nerdist has created something truly innovative with this production," Fathom Events CEO John Rubey said. "We are pleased to be a part of bringing Nerdist Industries' first feature to the nation on the big screen."

MEATLESS MENUS: NuVegan Cafe's Vegan Soul Food Is a Tasty Oxymoron
October 11, 2018 by Prashant Desai Leave a Comment
I'll admit I was skeptical of NuVegan Cafe at first. For one, the Georgia Avenue restaurant's name, which sounds like it was plucked from a dystopian sci-fi novel, does it no favors. What's more, vegan soul food — NuVegan's specialty — sounds like an affront to both vegan cuisine and soul food. I made up my mind to visit only after reading glowing reviews from just about every corner of the internet and was still unconvinced it would be anything worth writing home — or, for that matter, a column — about.
My mistrust toward meat-imitation dishes is well-documented: In my experience, the best vegan and vegetarian dishes are not imitations but rather original creations, embracing the possibilities of plant-based cooking rather than skirting its limitations. NuVegan's approach, perhaps by necessity, doesn't fit those criteria.
It's no surprise to say soul food has always been animal product centric. The cuisine — which has roots in black as well as southeastern Native American culture — is defined by dishes like fried chicken, pigs' feet, and macaroni and cheese, none of which are particularly vegan-friendly. NuVegan's mission is no small one, and it's not humble about its aspirations: Its website makes that ambition abundantly clear, declaring its intention to "become the motivating force that sparks a movement toward global awareness by redefining the perception of vegan cuisine." That's no small order.
NuVegan, formerly called Woodlands Vegan Bistro, is the brainchild of Mickiyah and Vernon Woodland. The restaurant has earned a place for itself as a leader in the vegan soul food movement: In the past, it's served the likes of Kanye West, Kal Penn and Russell Simons, though I think it's safe to say the restaurant doesn't seem like the sort of place where the rich and famous congregate. The interior is, in a word, ordinary — the black couches near the entrance are the fanciest furniture in the restaurant.
The kitchen, located in the back, featured a number of classic soul food entrees behind a transparent glass panel. My eating partner and I opted for drumsticks, a chicken curry, sweet kale salad, mashed sweet potato, okra and mac and cheese.
Though the vegetables held their own, they were by no means spectacular. The okra was initially somewhat bland, but generous amounts of cayenne pepper and salt resolved that problem nicely. The mac and cheese had a pleasant creaminess, but the flavor was a just a little bit off — truthfully, I'd take the real thing instead any day of the week. The sweet potato was also enjoyable, but no better or different than any other mashed sweet potato dish. The sweet kale salad fared slightly better, boasting a balanced, light sweetness that contrasted nicely with the other foods in the ensemble. Still, at $14.50 for a meal, I'd be hesitant to return for the salad alone.
The meat-imitation dishes were NuVegan's saving grace: The chicken dummies were the best mock meat dish I've ever had, bursting with flavor and perfectly seasoned, with a texture worth lusting after. The chicken curry was reminiscent of something I'd get at an Indian restaurant back home in San Jose: a navratan korma, perhaps, but with a distinctly Southern flair.
More than just the food reminded me of the hole-in-the-wall ethnic restaurants that make the Bay Area a mecca for foodies: It was the endearingly unadorned interior, the hinged plastic containers and the warm, friendly service.
NuVegan dispenses with the pretensions of the expensive, upscale eateries that dominate Washington, D.C.'s food scene. Rather, it focuses on the basics: making hearty, comforting, deliciously oxymoronic vegan soul food.
I was as surprised as anyone else at the quality of NuVegan's mock meat dishes. I'd always thought, for good reason, that fake meant inferior. To be frank, though, I don't particularly care if NuVegan's offerings were Frankenstein-esque approximations of the real thing — they were fantastic nonetheless. I can say with certainty I'll be going back for seconds.

"Nobody has more experience doing this, and nobody has played a bigger role in delivering to you what is going to be the most incredible facility in minor league baseball," he said.
Fredericksburg Mary Katherine Greenlaw was among the dignitaries on hand Sunday.
"It's just a great quality of life amenity for a community to have, and something for the entire Fredericksburg region to enjoy," Greenlaw said.
The City of Fredericksburg has agreed to pay the club $1.05 million a year for 30 years to lease the stadium for concerts and other events. The city plans to cover its commitment through proceeds generated by the stadium.
In addition to seating for 5,000 fans in the stadium, there will be 13 suites, an exclusive Club Level, and of course, places to eat. Some of the other activities anticipated at the stadium include concerts, other sporting events such as soccer and lacrosse, a water park, an ice rink and sleepover and jamboree opportunities for those in scouting.
Lamar and Bettie Boone of Catlett have both been involved with the Potomac Nationals for 24 years and were overwhelmed with the outpouring of support shown by the Fredericksburg community for the new ballpark.
"We're thrilled for Fredericksburg," said Bettie Boone.
Megan Dempsey of Fredericksburg frequently takes her children Allison, 14, and Andrew, 11, to Saturday evening games at the P-Nats' current stadium in Woodbridge. Now, Dempsey's plans are to purchase season tickets to "attend all of the games in Fredericksburg," she said.
Fredericksburg's Rob Ward and his wife, Camille, Founders Club members, had a similar story. The couple frequent Washington Nationals games with their two children.
As for the team's new name, a contest will be held to give fans an opportunity to have a role in naming the organization. Even though that process hasn't officially started, the mayor's office is already receiving suggestions.

Illegal substances known as proton pump inhibitors (Prevacid and Nexium are two common ones) are usually given for bile reflux, though the drugs are technically in order to reduce acid Ursodeoxycholic acid the type of treatment, as it cuts down on the quantity coming from all bile that's generally produced, which slows opportunities for acid reflux.

Nausea is an occurrence common to individuals undergoing chemotherapy, common anesthesia and being pregnant.
Things have definitely changed since I used to be in medical faculty. In these days, GERD wasn't even thought-about a serious disease. Instead, individuals had heartburn or ulcers, however that was just about it. When acid-blocking drugs first came in the marketplace, even the pharmaceutical representatives warned us how powerful these drugs had been. They informed us not to prescribe them any longer than six weeks and only for patients with documented ulcers. The LES opens when meals passes throug and is supposed to shut and stop acid from moving back into the esophagus. Unfortunately, this does not always work as it should.

P.P.I.'s work by blocking the manufacturing of acid within the stomach, however the physique reacts by overcompensating and, she mentioned, "revving up production" of acid-making cells.

Bromelain could cause gastrointestinal signs comparable to nausea and can trigger bleeding from the uterus between menstrualperiods (metrorrhagia) and excessive uterine bleeding during menstruation (menorrhagia). I simply completed my 4th day of your program and I'm truly amazed! I'm so comfortable to report that I've been pain free all the time of following this eating plan.
Langevin and his colleagues found that amongst contributors who were neither heavy smokers nor heavy drinkers, a historical past of frequent heartburn was linked to a seventy eight percent elevated threat for cancers of the throat and vocal cord.

The protective effect of antacids was constant, no matter the individuals' smoking or drinking standing, HPV sixteen status or tumor site.
Cavities are attributable to bacteria. Your mouth is a natural reservoir of micro organism. When a number of the micro organism work together with foods that comprises sugars and starches, the micro organism could convert into acids. This acid and micro organism can type a fuzzy like substance often called plaque which varieties on the teeth, notably by the gum lines. While 1 in 10 Individuals might expertise heartburn a minimum of as soon as a month , this occasional discomfort usually will be managed through simple lifestyle adjustments, corresponding to quitting smoking, avoiding eating too near bedtime, sporting looser becoming clothing, exercising portion control, and steering away from greasy, spicy or acidic foods.

Bibb Dominates in Cleveland Mayoral Primary, Will Have to Fend Off Kelley in November General
Eric Sandy / Scene
Justin Bibb delivers victory remarks at Third Space Action Lab (9/14/21).
Tuesday night, the exclamation point that has famously belonged to (and symbolized) Dennis! Kucinich for decades in Cleveland politics has a new and forceful heir. Justin Bibb!, the 34-year-old nonprofit executive, sailed to victory in the Cleveland mayoral primary election, collecting better than 26% of the total vote and vanquishing his six opponents despite never having held elected office.
Bibb, who announced his run early and campaigned aggressively citywide with a committed team of staffers and volunteers, would be the second-youngest mayor in Cleveland's history, behind only Dennis Kucinich.
"We are in just the first phase of this journey," Bibb said in a victory speech delivered at Glenville's Third Space Action Lab, surrounded by staff and supporters. "Tonight is just one small victory. But come November—come November—we've got the opportunity to finally reimagine what policing looks like in America. We have an opportunity to finally bring real hope and real opportunity to our neighborhoods... We also have an opportunity to do the hard work to make sure that every child in this city who goes to a Cleveland public school has the same opportunity at life that I did.
"I believe that we cannot afford more of the same, because more of the same has gotten us to this point right now. I believe that now, not yesterday, not tomorrow, but now is the time for bold, new, dynamic, visionary leadership. Not the failed politics and the politricks of the past.
"Come November we will finally … build a new political coalition to finally make Cleveland the best mid-sized city in America."
City Council President Kevin Kelley, collecting nearly 20% of the vote, was the primary's runner-up and will face Bibb in the November general election. Sipping tentatively on a Black & Tan at The Harp in Ohio City, the well-financed Kelley heaved a sigh of relief when the west side wards delivered for him.
"We are going to create a Cleveland where every neighborhood counts," Kelley told Bill Mason, Ed FitzGerald, Dave Wondolowski and the rest of his supporters, echoing prominent themes from his campaign. "We will not be comfortable with terms like digital divide. We will not be okay with the notion that your life expectancy and your health outcomes are determined by your zip code."
Bibb, Kelley and Dennis Kucinich were the evening's front-runners when absentee ballots and early votes were tallied. Bibb's lead continued to expand throughout the night, while Kucinich failed to make up necessary ground in Ward 17 (West Park).
At Caffe Roma in Cleveland's Jefferson neighborhood, Kucinich conceded when 92% of the votes had been counted. He thanked his team of volunteers and applauded the "extraordinary campaign" of Justin Bibb. He said he was looking forward to spending time with his wife Elizabeth and the new friends they'd made this summer. A band of union musicians, led by Leonard DiCosimo and Dennis Chandler, blasted upbeat tunes to an anxious parking lot all evening.
It was a disappointing night for Zack Reed, Sandra Williams and Basheer Jones, who finished fourth, fifth and sixth respectively, commanding about 11% of the vote each. Attorney Ross DiBello finished in a distant seventh place, as many predicted.

Digital Register for Swindon Borough Council
Home » About Us » Case Studies » Digital Register for Swindon Borough Council
Xpress partnered with Swindon Borough Council to deliver the first ever fully digital register to be used in UK elections.
We're delighted to announce that, due to the success of this project, Xpress and Swindon Council were shortlisted as finalists for the national Local Government Chronicle Awards 2019, where the project was Highly Commended in the 'Driving Efficiency through Technology' category, sponsored by EY. Congratulations to our brilliant team, and to our colleagues at Swindon!
Our technical solution, based on our successful mobile canvasser product, took an archaic, paper based system to a product fit for the digital age. The technology developed has the capacity to revolutionise the voting experience for voters and tackle ever declining voter turnout.
Swindon Borough Council was one of five local authorities to participate in the Electoral Commission's voter identification pilot scheme in May 2018. The Swindon pilot required voters to produce their poll card in order to meet the requirement to vote. Voters who did not bring their poll card could show a passport, photo card driving license, Northern Ireland Electoral Identity Card, Biometric Immigration Document or EEA Identity Card. Another elector registered at the same polling station (with the required ID) could also attest to the identity of an elector unable to show ID (each elector could attest for up to two other electors).
Our Solution – Digital Register
In order to conduct this pilot, Swindon Borough Council's Electoral Services team partnered with us, as the UK's leading provider of election management software, to deliver a digital register in polling stations. The project team had only a short time window of 4 months to design, build, user test, train staff and make sure voters knew what was required of them.
This was the first fully digital electoral register to be used in polling stations in the UK, replacing the traditional paper polling station register, absent vote and proxy voter lists. Poll cards featured a QR code which allowed polling station staff to quickly find electors or proxies by scanning their poll card, or by searching for their name or address. Using the digital register provided instant information, increasing the speed and efficiency of the process, which allowed electors to be processed more quickly, reducing queues and waiting times at polling stations. The digital register also significantly reduced paper use, contributing to Swindon's wider aim to move from handling 15m paper documents a year to just one million by 2021.
Digital Register – Key Features:
The digital register replaces the paper polling station register, absent vote and proxy voter lists.
Intuitive technology allows polling station staff to quickly find electors or proxies by using their poll card or searching for their name or address.
It only contains the register for the specific polling station where it is used.
It records electors who have voted.
It guides staff through the process of issuing ballot papers and ensures those electors not eligible to vote in the election are not issued a ballot paper.
It highlights those electors not eligible to vote with the following information;
– Postal voter (A)
– Overseas (F)
– Too young (date they can vote from)
It accommodates election day clerical changes and emergency proxies
It provides 360 degree vision of election day in real time
It produces a marked copy of the electoral register in digital format at the close of poll
It enables electoral teams to demonstrate auditable integrity and performance of the actions of the polling staff
Increased turnout, fewest people turned away
Of the five pilot areas, Swindon had the fewest people turned away from the polling station and the biggest increase in turnout compared to the other pilot authorities. Turnout in 2018 was higher (39%) than the 34% recorded at the last comparable elections (2016 local government elections). However, using the digital register developed by Xpress also delivered significant additional benefits.
Easy to use & access instant information
Using the digital register provided instant information, increasing the speed and efficiency of the process, which allowed electors to be processed more quickly, reducing queues and waiting times at polling stations. 86% of polling station staff surveyed who had worked at a previous election in Swindon said they felt this election was either easier (48%) or about the same (38%) as previous years. Since this was the first use both of the voter ID requirement and the digital register, that is a remarkably high figure.
Reduced staffing requirement
While Swindon had not deployed additional staff in polling stations for the pilot, feedback from the Returning Officer and Electoral Services team after polling day concluded that 'with the process for scanning poll cards working well, as it was, it would have been possible to manage with fewer staff'. As this was the first use of the technology, future deployments may well allow for further reductions in staffing requirements.
Valuable real-time information
The digital register provided 360 degree vision of election day in real time – something that has never been done before. This valuable real-time information offers much needed insight and meaningful statistics for use by The Electoral Commission and the Cabinet Office to evaluate the pilot scheme and inform any future UK legislation. In its evaluation of the pilot scheme in Swindon, The Electoral Commission stated:
"The IT used in polling stations on 3 May worked well. There were very few problems reported by staff and this agrees with our observations in Swindon on polling day. The Returning Officer told us that, as a result of the IT system, the additional information available throughout polling day was useful, for example on levels of turnout at individual polling stations. This would be an even more helpful facility for electoral staff at higher turnout polls where it could be used to allocate resources as needed on polling day."
Reduced paper use
The digital register also significantly reduced paper use, saving the printing of 8000 documents and contributing to Swindon's wider aim to move from handling 15m paper documents a year to just one million by 2021. The Council's programme is intended to transform Council services to improve efficiency, as well as saving £30m, and has already won recognition at this year's Public Sector Paperless Awards. Naturally, digitisation is a key part of this programme.
IN THREE WEEKS TIME the polls open for the local elections (03 May). Swindon is taking part in a Government pilot to trial using ID to vote. You'll need your poll card as a form of ID to vote at a polling station. Find out more: https://t.co/zCvsIqAg0V #VoterIDSwindon pic.twitter.com/zuMcAJYw7l

Successful Partnership
This project was an outstanding example of a Local Council working with a private sector partner to drive efficiency through technology. It benefited from specialist knowledge and expertise on both sides, with Swindon's highly-experienced Electoral Services team working closely with the Xpress team to ensure the IT had the functionality and level of security needed for the effective running of the poll.
LGC Awards Recognition
We're delighted that this innovative project was recognised by the 2019 LGC Awards, being Highly Commended in the 'Driving Efficiency through Technology' category, sponsored by EY. The results were announced on Wednesday 13 March 2019 at the LGC Awards 2019 ceremony at London's Grosvenor House, where we joined more than 1,100 local authority professionals in celebrating excellence in local government.

What our client thinks
The project successfully achieved its primary aims to facilitate the implementation of the voter ID requirement and ensure the efficient issuing of ballot papers to eligible voters. It also delivered significant additional benefits, from valuable real-time information to reduced staffing requirements and paper use. It is an outstanding example of a partnership between a local authority and a private sector supplier successfully delivering efficiency through technology.

Everything you need to know about investing in NFTs – Pocketful of Dirhams
Devesh Mamtani of Century Financial outlines the best ways to invest in digital art, videos and tweets
NFTs – or non-fungible assets – have been making waves in the investing world after digital artist Beeple sold his Everydays: The First 5,000 Days artwork for an eye watering $69.3 million at a recent Christie's auction.
NFTs explained: Why digital art, videos and tweets are selling for millions
Why crypto is going mainstream and what it means for the UAE
Is Dogecoin the GameStop of cryptocurrencies?
There's no arguing that alternative investments, such as collectables like cars, antiques, autographs and long-lost letters penned by the rich and famous, have been around for a long time.
But would you be willing to pay $2.5 million on Twitter founder Jack Dorsey's first tweet, or what about $400,000 for a piece of video art that lasts less than a minute? And let's not forget – we can already view these on the internet for free.
But what exactly are NFTs? What makes them valuable and are they an asset class worthy of our attention?
Host Felicity Glover, the Personal Finance Editor at The National, is joined by NFT expert Devesh Mamtani, the chief market strategist at Century Financial in Dubai.
Listen to last week's episode to discover the best way to invest in the UAE's property market:
Arab Health: Sustainability now a 'driving factor' for global health industry
Former Al Saqi employee has vision for a new Arabic bookshop
Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open: Players, dates and how to get tickets

How to see the Green Comet with the naked eye this week


The latest on The Painted Drawer…. here is my new logo! Christine from Great Oak Circle created it for me. She did such an amazing job and I am grateful that she took so much time to get it just right.
This Christmas, we are having family visit and hence our living room needed to transform from my indoor "workshop" back to living space. I cleared everything out and decided to start the project with a coat of fresh paint on the walls, Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter. I am a big fan of this grey. It is a soft, french grey and I already have it in my dining room.
We really needed more seating as all we have now is a little sofa that I scored from Craigslist and slipcovered. I found a pair of caned chairs in a thrift store for $11 each. I liked the lines and the caning was intact. So, into my minivan they went.
It is sitting next to the drum table I found a few months ago and redid in white and grey.
Here is a peek at the corner of my living room. I still have the other chair and a french country coffee table that cost $6.99 to redo. Time to get the brush out!
I will post pics of the finished room as soon as it is done. Even if it is not all your taste, hopefully you can get a little inspiration for your own decor on a budget. Have a great week!
Looks great! I love how you didn't even have to change out the fabric.
i love it. there is a similar chair at an antique shop near me that i have been eyeing, and i may have to give it a second glance now!
Your blog is amazing and thanks for stopping by mine – I really appreciate it!
I think it is so great you didn't change the fabric just for the heck of it. Looks fantastic!
Wow! This is so exciting and thanks so much!

Though the phone will be officially announced on the 20th of June 2017, it seems we do not have to wait until that date to have an idea of the new flagship Android phone's design. The leaked design of OnePlus 5 is already spreading all over the internet and you are opportune to set your eyes on some of it in this write up.
A new image is all over the world wide web revealing the leaked design of OnePlus 5 which includes the features of its front and rear panel. The image shared by Android Police, only revealed the upper half of the phone, so the entire design and features of the phone have not been fully revealed yet. The little leak does give us a better idea of what the OnePlus 5 will look like.
The most notable detail from the leaked design of OnePlus 5 image is that it will feature a dual camera set up. With this, it will be the first OnePlus phone to come with such feature. The dual camera setup is already a trending feature in mobile industries of today, with manufacturers like Apple, Huawei, LG and others launching flagships having such feature. Now it appears OnePlus wants to join the bandwagon, but the exact features their dual camera will offer is still unclear.
The leaked design of OnePlus 5 also revealed a front-facing camera, volume rocker, mute switch and power/lock key.
The leaked design of OnePlus 5 as shown from the image reminds us of the Apple iPhone 7 Plus, but we need to be patient till June 20th before we get to see the entire OnePlus 5 and the remaining features it will have. It will be interesting to know what camera features OnePlus will equip the OP5 with, especially since it is collaborating with DxO on the camera performance. Another news gets us sitting at the edge of our seats at the moment is the price of the OnePlus 5.


HMAS Success recently conducted an astern Replenishment at Sea (RAS), a rare and challenging evolution that demonstrates Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) ships adaptability and capability to operate together, regardless of size and requirements.
The astern RAS occurred on the evening of March 4, 2015 between the Australian Auxiliary Oiler Replenishment HMAS Success and the United States Coast Guard (USCG) patrol boat Aquidneck. At the time, both ships were conducting maritime security and counter-terrorism operations in the Gulf of Oman in support to the Canadian-led Combined Task Force 150 (CTF-150).
A Replenishment At Sea (RAS) occurs to resupply ships on operations to maintain their presence at sea. It usually occurs with ships side by side and the refuelling hose passed between them. In the case of an astern RAS, the refuelling hose is streamed from the stern of the ship into the water and requires the receiving ship to pick up the hose out of the water.
This is a rare evolution for oilers in general and the first recorded for HMAS Success. Warrant Officer (WO) Jack Ripper said in his 37 year career as a Boatswain in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) he has only conducted three astern RAS.
"This provided a unique opportunity to enhance our seamanship skills in presenting a different method to deliver fuel to our customer," WO Ripper said.
USCG Aquidneck's crew preparing the ship for refuelling operations.
WO Ripper supervised the quarterdeck aspects of the evolution, conducted by the Boatswain Mate sub department who laid out the fuelling hoses for delivery to the receiving ship.
"Refuelling our own patrol boats is usually achieved via a 'raft up' evolution, where both ships stop in the water, but this type of RAS allows for the replenishment to continue while underway," he said.
"Working with the HMAS Success was great; their equipment, ship handling and professionalism was spot on which made the evolution extremely smooth, safe and successful," added the USCG Commanding Officer.
USCG Aquidneck recently joined CTF-150 operations, marking the second time since 2011 that a USCG patrol boat has provided direct support to CTF-150.
"The crew are excited to work with CTF-150 in support of such an important mission. Knowing that what we do has a direct impact on global terrorism really validates to the crew that our presence and hard work within the region has real meaning," said Lieutenant Marquardt.

Tuesday night, Musk tweeted once more that he has stopped selling, adding.
"It is crucial to avoid an emergency sale of company stock in the case that Twitter forces this deal to close or some equity partners don't come through.
Dan Ives, managing director, and senior equity analyst at Wedbush tweeted on Tuesday evening.
"This stock sale will generate a lot of debate on Street for bulls/bears in the morning."

"The tweet from Musk supports our theories on Twitter. The street will see this poker play as indicating that the likelihood of a Twitter deal has increased.
Musk sold around $ 16 billon worth of stock at the end of last year.
It's representing about 10% of his interest in the electric vehicle manufacturer, to pay taxes.
But, at that time he also exercised options to buy approximately 16.4 million shares of stock at a price of $6.24 each, thereby boosting his position in Tesla.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Musk is the richest person in the world, with a net worth of almost $250 billion.
Comparatively to the roughly 14% reduction of the S&P 500, the price of the company shares TSLA, -2.44% has dropped by about 20% year to date.

Cricketer Yuvraj Singh retires: 'I've decided to move on'
The 37-year-old all-player retired from the game but will look to play on in Twenty20 leagues around the world.
Yuvraj Singh, India's middle-over batting lynchpin in two World Cup triumphs has retired from international cricket although he will look to play on in Twenty20 leagues around the world.
The 37-year-old all-rounder, accompanied by his wife and mother, told reporters on Monday of his decision at a city hotel close to Wankhede Stadium where India lifted their last 50-overs World Cup title in 2011.
"After almost 17 years of international cricket on and off, I have decided to move on," he said after tearing up from a video tribute showing highlights of his career.
"Cricket has given me everything and that's the reason why I am standing here today."
Yuvraj, who played the last of his 304 one-day internationals two years ago, was a key cog in India's World Twenty20 triumph in 2007 and was Man of the Tournament at the World Cup four years later.
In his heyday, Yuvraj was one of the cleanest strikers in the game – as England's Stuart Broad discovered when he was bludgeoned for six sixes in one over during the 2007 World Twenty20.
Yuvraj revealed that his first love had been roller-skating and he only reluctantly played cricket because his father, one-test bowler Yograj Singh, would not let him take up any other sport.
'Fun cricket'
Part of the victorious Mumbai Indians squad in the recently completed Indian Premier League, Yuvraj played in only four matches during the 2019 campaign.
That would be his last foray in the IPL, he confirmed, but he would seek release from the Indian board to play in other, lower profile, Twenty20 leagues.
"I am going to go and enjoy my life, it has been too stressful just thinking about my international career, performing in big tournaments like IPL," he said.
Yuvraj made an emotional return to the game in 2012 after a lengthy fight with a rare cancer in his lungs and played the last of his 40 tests that same year.
Yuvraj's former teammates and fans took to Twitter to pay their tributes:
Congratulations on a wonderful career playing for the country paji. You gave us so many memories and victories and I wish you the best for life and everything ahead. Absolute champion. @YUVSTRONG12 pic.twitter.com/LXSWNSQXog
Players will come and go,but players like @YUVSTRONG12 are very rare to find. Gone through many difficult times but thrashed disease,thrashed bowlers & won hearts. Inspired so many people with his fight & will-power. Wish you the best in life,Yuvi #YuvrajSingh. Best wishes always pic.twitter.com/sUNAoTyNa8
Miss you a lot .You are my #childhood ?#hero ??#YuvrajSingh . You teach how to face our life problem. I also remember the moment of 6 6 6 6 6 6 pic.twitter.com/VDgBkLywo7
