'Blue Story': UK Gang Movie Back On At Nottingham Cinema After Stabbing Incident – Update
Deadline — Tom Grater
UPDATED, 1:50 PM: Blue Story is playing again at the Cornerhouse Cineworld in Nottingham, UK, after screenings were temporarily suspended following a serious incident on Sunday (December 1). Exhibitor Cineworld confirmed to Deadline that police requested that showings of the movie be cancelled today between 9am and 2pm GMT while it conducted an investigation, but that the film has now been reinstated and will show this evening and across the week.
Here's a statement from the exhibitor: "Cineworld can confirm that we were required by Nottinghamshire Police to close screens 9-14 this morning during their investigation. However, this investigation did not affect our ability to operate and customers can still purchase tickets for showings of Blue Story this evening, tomorrow and throughout the week. We currently have no plans to cancel any of these screenings."
PREVIOUSLY, 5:55 AM: Blue Story, the UK gang movie that was in the spotlight last week after two cinema chains banned it over safety fears and then subsequently reversed their decisions, is at the center of controversy again after the pic had screenings cancelled today at a Nottingham cinema following a stabbing incident.
Regional paper NottinghamshireLive reported that police were called to the Cornerhouse Cineworld site at 8.15pm yesterday (December 1) after a fight started in the complex, with a 20-year-old man taken to hospital to treat non-life-threatening injuries. A 16-year-old boy and 23-year-old man have been arrested.
A representative of Nottinghamshire Police told the paper: "Our officers have acted quickly to establish the circumstances around this incident leading to two arrests and the recovery of a knife.
"Isolated incidents such as this are incredibly serious and as a force we are committed to ensuring that appropriate action is taken to keep people safe and bring to justice those responsible."
The cinema remains open and, while reports cite that several screenings have been pulled, it is still available to book for one showing tonight (December 2) and multiple screenings daily across the rest of this week.
The Paramount-released film scored a bumper $1.7m opening weekend last week, but its release was marred by controversy when, after an incident involving a machete at a Birmingham cinema, two chains pulled it from their venues, citing safety concerns.
Both multiplex companies, Showcase and Vue, reversed their decisions after a backlash, re-introducing screenings with heightened security.
Deadline has contacted Paramount for comment.

A parable as a seed is something that can grow deeper and deeper and higher and higher. Jesus told the parable of the Kingdom about the Pearl of great price (Matt. 13:45). There are many deep meanings in that very, very short parable. He said a hundred things in about twenty words. He told another parable about the man working in a field who found a treasure (Matt. 13:44).
So He said the Kingdom of God is like a pearl merchant and the Kingdom of God is like a man working in a field. Both of those things have very rich and very deep meaning. The longer we are Christians, the more exciting these things become even though He only said twenty words.
The Bible says the Word of God is a seed, and Jesus plants these little, tiny seeds that can grow into great big things. If He were to give a long, long teaching about a pearl or about a field, we wouldn't understand most of it at our stage of development. We would do a long analysis of it and break it down into little parts and put numbers on it. Then instead of letting the Seed of Life grow inside of us, we'd be squashed by a mountain of ideas.
When Simeon spoke to Mary about what her Son, Jesus would become when He grew up, the Bible says she "treasured these things in her heart" (Luke 2:19). She couldn't understand what he meant, but she could treasure them in her heart. The Word of God is a seed that we sow deeply in our heart and treasure, not something that we break into little pieces and analyze.
I could tell you ten or fifteen things that I have learned about the parable of the pearl and the parable of the worker in the field, but it took me 25 years to learn those things. Because I sowed it in my heart, God made it alive. He made it more and more alive. God made it alive! If it was a long teaching about a pearl, I would be tempted to memorize it. Then I would "know" it, and I would tell other people what I "know." But because I sowed it in my heart and treasured it in my heart, it grew and grew and bore more and more fruit. Every year I'm changed more by these parables, even though it's only twenty words. Amen?
The Word of God is God, says John, chapter 1. The Word of God is a window into the very Mind of God. If we treasure the seed of the parable in our heart like Mary did, then we have a window that grows brighter and brighter into the very mind of God. If His Word is not a window, then I won't be able to see very well. If we make all of the words on the page the end of everything rather than a window to God, then we've made a mistake.
I'm very happy that there are so many parables because I can look more and more and more deeply into the Heart and Mind of God as the years go by, because it's a parable and a Seed. It brings meaning as I grow closer to Jesus, and I understand more. Parables are very beautiful in that way. Remember we discussed earlier that Jesus is Alive and He is raised from the dead? We talked about Jesus taking the disciples aside and explaining the parables to them? Ask Jesus to take you aside and explain the parables to you! Jesus explains His parables to His disciples because He's Alive. Ask Him to bring you aside day by day and year by year and explain His beautiful parables to you just like He did to His disciples then. It's a beautiful, living relationship.

Blogger Wael Abbas: Exposing Corruption in Egypt
Blogger Wael Abbas uses the internet to publicize human rights abuses and police brutality in Egypt. He has become well-known for posting videos documenting torture at police stations. His work publicizing one such video led to an unprecedented trial resulting in convictions and jail sentences for the crime's perpetrators.
In the three decades between 1981 and the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, President Hosni Mubarak kept a tight grip on Egypt. As the years passed, according to Human Rights Watch, Mubarak grew to "epitomize the authoritarian Arab ruler, presiding over a system in which opponents are muzzled and imprisoned, and where torture is widespread." [1] In this context, the internet was one of the few means Egyptians had to express themselves.
In late 2004, frustration at the Mubarak regime was reaching a peak; the government was preparing to hold presidential elections, yet everyone knew that Mubarak would "win" another term. New grassroots civic movements, such as Kifaya, the Egyptian Movement for Change, formed and began holding protests against Mubarak. However, the Egyptian media did not dare cover these events, so the public was kept largely unaware of the growing civic mobilization.
According to Wael Abbas, "That's when we bloggers decided to take matters into our own hands. We believed in the people's right to know." [2] Frustrated at the press' passivity in addressing Egypt's pressing social and political issues, he founded the blog Egyptian Awareness, filling it with his own photos and videos of the protests. Unlike most Egyptian bloggers, he limited his commentary to simple captions of pictures, since he believes "You can write a book and it can all be lies, but one picture can tell the whole story truthfully."[3]
Abbas wanted to give Egyptians only information, without attempting to lead them in a particular ideological direction. Rejecting the country's existing political movements and their efforts to manipulate Egyptians, Abbas believes that "the citizen needs awareness; he needs to know everything about everyone, because in the end he is the one who will have to decide who is good and who is bad."[4]
Throughout his blogging career, Abbas has kept his goals in mind: "My mission is to reach people [and] mobilize them. It is to acquaint people with their rights. I want the uneducated Egyptians to know that it is not acceptable for anyone to slap him on [the back of his neck, as police have done with suspects]. If I can do that, then that's good enough."[5]
On his blog, Abbas has raised awareness about government repression of political protests, sexual harassment in Cairo, election fraud, the assault and torture of political dissidents, and gruesome incidents of police brutality. Through it all, he says, "All I wanted was for my country to change, to become more democratic, and to recognize the basic rights of its citizens. So I focused my work on making people aware of what was going on and helping them understand their rights."[6]
Abbas envisions a democratic Egypt where civil liberties and rights are respected. "I am a regular Egyptian who wants my country to be better," he says. "I want to see the transfer of power, democracy, freedom, and freedom of opinion and expression."[7] An opponent of the Muslim Brotherhood, he acknowledges the possibility of their coming to power in a truly democratic Egypt, and says, "That's why I believe in working on two levels — advocating democracy while enlightening the people so that they make the right choice when the time comes for real democratic elections. That's why I called my blog Egyptian Awareness."[8]
While Abbas has become a leader of Egypt's blogosphere, he has not always had such civic ambitions. While completing his BA in English at Ain Shams University in the early 1990s, he was never politically active on campus. It was only after the birth of the internet that Abbas began his career as a civic activist. He began by writing for a group blog titled Voice of the People, whose writers used the internet to discuss Egypt's political, religious, and social issues. In 2004, he launched Egyptian Awareness under the tagline "At the whim of its owner who doesn't work for anyone."[9]
During his blogging career, Abbas has worked hard to maintain credibility. As such, he emphasizes his independence, explaining, "I do not belong to any party or ideology…There are some Marxist ideas that I think are good, there are some Islamic ideas that I think are good, and there are some liberal ideas that I think are good."[10] Abbas relies heavily on raw documentary evidence, advising others to "always try to support what you're saying with pictures and videos…multimedia, it gives you more legitimacy."[11]
Furthermore, much of his credibility is based on his journalistic integrity and commitment to transparency; for example, when he was accused of being a criminal, he responded by posting a copy of his criminal record on his blog for all to see. [12]
Abbas disclaims any efforts to provide solutions for the problems around which he attempts to raise awareness. Explaining his approach, Abbas expresses admiration for Charles Dickens, because he raised awareness about societal problems in Britain, and while he never proposed solutions, through his writings he laid the groundwork for others to reform society.[13] "I don't have answers," Abbas says. "I can only point out the problem…for people to solve it."[14]
While the Mubarak regime allowed some latitude to activists and dissidents, thus enabling the country's bloggers to take the lead in the Arab political blogosphere, Egypt was nonetheless named as one of the top ten "worst countries to be a blogger" by the Committee to Protect Journalists.[15] Authorities did not block many websites, but they did engage in widespread intimidation, harassment, and detention of bloggers. Because of this repressive environment (see Freedom House's report on internet freedom in Egypt), Abbas has said, "I feel threatened all the time."[16]
According to Abbas, his blog has been continually hacked and was once attacked so severely that it remained offline for three days.[17] However, the Egyptian regime did not completely block websites; instead, he says, "they have other ways that they attack blogs, [like] report[ing] them to the hosts, saying they have a lot of inappropriate material. They did that with my YouTube account [which was shut down for a week in 2007], my Facebook account, my email — they've shut down my email several times."[18]
Abbas's experience with state repression began in 2006 during a wave of arrests of Egyptian internet activists; Abbas heard that he was wanted, collected his digital records, and fled to Alexandria, returning to Cairo a week later when his lawyers told him it was safe.[19] As he began to attract worldwide attention through his blogging, he also attracted the Egyptian government's attention. The regime resorted to character assassination, as government-aligned forces began spreading false rumors that were calculated to damage Abbas's credibility among Egyptians. A high-ranking government official went on satellite TV to say Abbas had a criminal past; a state-aligned newspaper accused him of publishing lies and "sick fantasies"; and internet rumors spread of his having converted to Christianity or being homosexual.[20]
Security forces continually tapped Abbas's phones and made increasingly menacing phone calls to him, threatening to frame him and adding, "Forget about the law. We are the law. The day you fall into our hands, you'll scream for help and you'll cry."[21] State security harassed Abbas on numerous occasions; in 2009, he was detained twice at the Cairo airport, and in the second incident, he was held for ten hours and his laptop was illegally confiscated.[22] In April of that year, a police officer and his brother broke into Abbas's home, assaulting both him and his mother and knocking out one of his teeth.[23] Abbas filed an official complaint, but it was not investigated due to "insufficient evidence," despite extensive medical and photographical documentation of Abbas' injuries.[24] Then in December, while Abbas was out of the country, plainclothes police forced their way into Abbas's family home while refusing to provide a warrant or identification.[25]
As the Interior Ministry escalated its harassment of Abbas, it began to file manufactured charges against him. In November 2009, he was sentenced to six months of jail and a 500-pound fine for "tampering with an internet cable."[26] While he was cleared of the charges on appeal in February 2010, the next month he received the same sentence, this time for "providing a telecommunications service to the public without permission."[27]
Despite the ongoing harassment he faces, Abbas remains undaunted in his commitment to raising Egyptians' awareness of human rights abuses. Abbas refuses to blog anonymously to protect himself; he uses his own name in order to "encourage people to join us. I want them to know who we are, and that we are here…in Egypt, and we are not afraid."[28]
When Abbas founded his blog, he wanted to reach the youth of Egypt with his message that abuses of Egyptians' human rights are unacceptable. Abbas describes his original target audience as "the youth who can't live a decent life" in Egypt.[29] Because he wanted to attract young Egyptians without much education or interest in politics, he chose to write his blog in colloquial Arabic, as opposed to the formal version of Arabic that is taught in schools, thus making his blog more accessible to Egyptians without a high level of education.
As he says, "I try to talk to them in their own knowledge...and tell them that first we understand them, and second that we are interested in having a conversation with you. Don't make them feel intimidated, don't make them think that you are an elitist."[30] Abbas is known for his extremely informal, and frequently profane, style of writing, and explains that this is "actually what provokes people to interact, and understand, and absorb what I'm telling them."[31]
Abbas's first major blogging success came on May 25, 2005, the day of a referendum on Egypt's constitution. That morning, plainclothes police and paid thugs beat and sexually assaulted journalist and peaceful protestors.[32] Abbas was able to take pictures of these events, and even interviewed one of the thugs, who described how he'd been paid by state security forces and bussed in from the slums along with others in order to disrupt the protests.[33] After Abbas published everything on his blog, he received half a million site visits in just two days; the story spread to traditional news outlets, and local newspapers wrote about the scandal for months.[34]
In late 2006, Abbas publicized two stories that quickly became two of the biggest scandals of the year. The first incident took place in late October, on Eid el-Fitr, the holiday marking the end of Ramadan. After finding that a movie showing was sold out at a downtown Cairo theater, mobs of hundreds of men attacked the box office; they then surrounded women in the area, groping their bodies, ripping off their clothes, and chasing those who tried to escape.[35] Meanwhile, policemen stood by and watched, not even attempting to intervene; indeed, when some onlookers asked them to do something, the police merely responded, "What do you want us to do? It's Eid. Happy Eid to you too!"[36]
Abbas was in the neighborhood at the time and took pictures of the mob and of the policemen standing by; he then posted the photos on his blog along with his eyewitness account of what had happened. Other bloggers also posted about the "sexual frenzy" that had occurred, while the traditional media ignored it and police stations refused to accept reports from women who had been attacked.
However, three days later on the private TV channel Dream's program "10 pm," a blogger told the program's host all about the Eid sexual assaults, breaking the story to the Egyptian public. The next night, the show aired a special report on the incident, including an interview with one of the eyewitness bloggers and using some of the photos Abbas had taken.
After that, it was impossible to cover up the story; it spread across Egypt and the Middle East, and eventually the rest of the world. Egyptians debated what had happened and why, government critics attacked the police's negligence, and women held demonstrations against sexual harassment. The independent newspaper Al Masry Al Youm took the lead in covering the story, forcing the state-run press to cover it as well, albeit with denials from the Ministry of Interior. A national dialogue on sexual harassment, a topic that had always been taboo in Egyptian society, had been launched, largely thanks to Abbas and his fellow bloggers.
Aside from his coverage of the Eid sexual assaults, Abbas had become known for his work publicizing police brutality by posting videos showing police beating and torturing suspects. The most notorious of these videos was one he posted in November 2006 — a gruesome video that would send shockwaves through Egyptian society.
In January 2006, Emad El-Kebir, a 21-year-old minibus driver, had been detained at a Giza police station for attempting to save his cousin from being beaten by plainclothes policemen.[37] At the station, policemen brutally tortured and sexually assaulted El-Kebir while videotaping the attack with a mobile phone. After El-Kebir was released, he found that the video had been distributed among his fellow minibus drivers, partly to humiliate him further and partly to intimidate the other drivers into paying the "fines" the police regularly extort from them.[38]
After obtaining the video from fellow Egyptian blogger Mohamed Khaled, Abbas posted it on Egyptian Awareness. Abbas followed the story for months as it was investigated by the independent press; when two of the policemen were arrested, he hailed it as a "great success for the bloggers and popular press," but emphasized that "this is just the beginning…and those [arrested] are only the ones who have been discovered; torture is ongoing, of both political [dissidents] and criminals."[39]
Abbas greeted the men's sentencing to three years in prison with "great delight," and has said that this experience exemplifies his approach to blogging.[40] Because of his work to raise awareness about El-Kebir's case, Abbas says, police torture, which used to be accepted apathetically, became less acceptable "because people are talking about it…The problem is not totally solved, but the people became aware…they became more used to exposing that kind of torture."[41]
As El-Kebir's lawyer, Nasr Amin, said, "Thousands of torture complaints have been brought to prosecutors…but they came to nothing. The bloggers managed to upset things."[42]
While Abbas originally focused on reaching Egyptian youth, as time went on, he began attracting a wider audience. Abbas explains proudly, "I found out that people of all ages are visiting and interacting with my blog."[43] Today, Egyptian Awareness receives over a million hits per month, with 62 percent of those readers coming from within Egypt.[44]
Along with his blog, Abbas uses social sites such as YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook to communicate with supporters. When he and his mother were attacked by policemen in 2009, he used his cell phone to post running Twitter updates on his status, even from the police station he reported the crime at. His followers spread the news to blogs and then to traditional media outlets, both local and international, which publicized the state's harassment of Abbas.[45]
Through his blogging, Abbas has achieved victories he could not have dreamed of at the start; he has won Human Rights Watch's 2008 Hellman Hammett Award, been named CNN's 2007 Middle East Person of the Year, and became the first blogger to receive the International Committee for Journalists' Knight International Journalism Award, in 2007.
Abbas is often considered Egypt's most influential political blogger, and as such he has a greater impact on news coverage in the country than many would have thought possible.[46] While it is true that only a small percentage of Egyptians have internet access, Abbas's influence is not limited to only those who read his blog. Rather, his writings have had a ripple effect, influencing the print media and satellite TV to cover the stories he reports.
Regardless of the difficulties he has faced, Abbas has no regrets about his blogging career: "At least I have the respect of the people, and people know that I am doing something that is good…that might result in change in the end."[47]

10 natural cold and flu remedies for kids - The Co.
I don't know about you, but I'm not a huge fan of fall. Sure, I enjoy watching the leaves change color, sipping on a pumpkin spice latte, and dressing in warm fluffy sweaters and beautiful knee-high boots, but the arrival of the cooler weather reminds me that cold and flu season is just around the corner, which in turn makes my anxiety go through the roof.
I'm not sure when my fear of germs started, but I find it has gotten so much worse now that I'm a mother, and while I would love to bathe my sweet bear in bleach a million times a day to avoid her getting sick, I try really hard to let her be a kid without hovering over her with antibacterial wipes in my hands.
Now, I probably wouldn't be so uptight about her getting sick if she willingly took medicine when she didn't feel well, but after it took THREE ADULTS to get a dose of meds down her throat last winter, I'm even more terrified of what this season has to offer.
The good news is that I'm a pretty resourceful person, and after poking around on Pinterest, I've found some great natural cold and flu remedies for kids that should help give her some relief when she's feeling poorly. And since I know I'm not the only parent who struggles to get meds into her children (and who isn't a fan of medicine to begin with), I thought I'd share my favorites with all of you.
But before I do that, I do want to remind you that I am NOT a doctor and urge you to consult your pediatrician or GP before using any of these remedies on your kids (or yourself!).
Good luck and here's to a happy and healthy fall and winter!
If you found there natural cold and flu remedies for kids helpful, please share them on Pinterest!

Millington pilot school ready for surge in demand
Crew Training International's Millington-based flight school is doing its part to combat an international shortage of airline pilots.
Millington pilot school ready for surge in demand Crew Training International's Millington-based flight school is doing its part to combat an international shortage of airline pilots. Check out this story on commercialappeal.com: http://memne.ws/2tbome3
Wayne Risher, USA TODAY NETWORK – Tennessee Published 3:47 p.m. CT June 16, 2017 | Updated 4:30 p.m. CT June 16, 2017

Al Mullen's Field of Dreams is a converted hangar at Millington-Memphis Airport, where his flight training academy is doing its part to avert a looming shortage of commercial pilots.
"The theory of 'build it and they will come,' I tested that. I did build it. And they didn't come for a while," said Mullen, a retired FedEx pilot, former Navy Top Gun instructor and co-founder of Crew Training International (CTI).
CTI's three-year-old venture into pilot training hasn't taken off as fast as expected, but Mullen, 64, is keeping his eye on the prize: a projected deficit of well over 15,000 commercial airline pilots over the next decade.
"I think we will see a ramping up," he said. "It will be a steady but not explosive growth rate. I've got all my exec team on the flying side thinking about what we call Flight School 2018: What are we going to do to in 2018 to manage this growth?"
Southeast Memphis-based CTI's core business is providing training to military aviators at 47 locations. Most of about 280 employees work at air bases around the country.
Mullen and FedEx colleague Steve Harden started CTI in 1992 as a sideline to their jobs as pilots at the home-grown express airline. CTI specializes in crew resource management or human factors training, helping hone pilots' decision-making skills.
Harden left CTI to lead a medical aviation training unit, LifeWings, that became a separate company.
If CTI sounds familiar, one reason might be its sponsorship since 2009 of the CTI 3D Giant Theater at the Memphis Pink Palace Museum.
In 2014, CTI bought Fort Lauderdale-based Professional Flight Training, a company with a long history in Florida, and opened a Millington satellite at the former Memphis Naval Air Station airfield.
Mullen believed demand was about to spike for pilot training, because of industry issues including mass retirements of older pilots, fewer military pilots entering commercial cockpits and stiffer training requirements for U.S. pilots.
"When I acquired the company, I anticipated this would become a big and more important issue for the airlines about two years ago. And frankly, that really didn't happen," Mullen said. "They talk about it a lot, but they never really did anything about it.
"Just in the last maybe six months it has really really dawned on the big carriers that they kind of implode in 2019 if they don't do something. They'll each be retiring 1,000 pilots a year, and there is no backfill for that," Mullen said.
The Millington Airport Authority obtained a federal grant to help convert a former maintenance hangar to house the CTI Professional Flight Training Academy.
The Millington Industrial Development Board is selling CTI 9.6 acres near the hangar for future expansion.

It currently has five instructors, about 20 students from India and as many as 40 local students.
An aspiring pilot's typical career track is to progress through training, become an instructor and accumulate enough flight hours to meet a 1,500-hour threshold for an airline transport pilot certificate, which U.S. airlines require.
"You can do everything here that is required to be hired by a regional airline," said Mullen's son, Kyle Mullen, 30, who runs the school.
Many people know Hangar N-7 as the place where World War II B-17 the Memphis Belle was refurbished after it was relocated from Mud Island, Kyle Mullen said. The Belle was later moved to the U.S. Air Force museum in Dayton, Ohio.

CTI also is a fixed-based operator at Millington. It provides fuel, a pilot lounge and other services. Kyle Mullen said visitors have included the Blue Angels during the Memphis Airshow, NASA astronauts on flight training runs and actor Gary Sinise, Lt. Dan from "Forrest Gump," who flew in to build a house for a disabled veteran.
The long-range plan is to build dormitory-style buildings and a restaurant on the land, preferably working with a business partner. CTI leases nine apartments near Mirimichi golf course for students.
CTI invested in 20 new Diamond DA-20 single-engine planes with full glass cockpits. They're divided between Millington and Florida. The Millington fleet is rounded out by a Diamond DA-42 twin-engine plane and WACO Great Lakes open cockpit biplane.
"The thought of owning a flight school where you've got other people's kids flying around in your equipment and the possibility of hurting one of them or killing them is a responsibility that's never completely out of my head," Al Mullen said. "The thing that really attracted me to this airplane (Diamond) is its safety."
One of the key limiting factors in the growth of CTI and other flight schools is the availability of instructors.
"We see the effects of the pilot shortage or the impending pilot shortage, whatever you want to call it, in that it is very difficult to retain an instructor once they're eligible," Al Mullen said. "The airlines are just rapidly hiring. It's pretty hard to not get hired at an airline if you want to now."
Tracy Lawford moved to Fort Lauderdale from Sydney, Australia to pursue her dream of becoming a pilot.
"I just got a vibe from CTI from the moment I walked in the door," the former police officer said. "It was professional. They seemed honest and open about their pricing. They had new aircraft, and it was full of international students."
Lawford, 37, is approaching 300 flight hours and aspires to get her flight instructor credentials, then serve as an instructor. She's undecided about whether she wants to go on to become a commercial pilot.
Virgin Australia and Qantas are offering incentives for pilots in her home country. "There's opportunity in the airlines worldwide. I really do believe that," Lawford said.

The Archives of Historic Black Newspapers Are Going Digital | Smithsonian Magazine
Black cigar smokers find community — and business opportunities — amid the pandemic | NBC News
The Obsidian Collection is collaborating with Google Arts & Culture to ensure the journalism is preserved for many years to come
— Brigit Katz, Smithsonian Magazine
Within a decade of the Chicago Defender's founding in 1905, Robert Sengstacke Abbott's weekly had become the most influential black newspaper in the United States. It helped fuel the Great Migration, campaigned for anti-lynching legislation and offered vital coverage of the 1919 Chicago Race Riot. Now, as Adrienne Samuels Gibbs of Chicago magazine reports, digital archivists for the black legacy press are teaming up with Google Arts & Culture to ensure that the Defender's journalism is preserved for many years to come.
The effort is part of a larger plan to digitize the archives of black newspapers from across the country: the Dallas Post Tribune, the Washington Informer, the Afro American, and many others.

The Chicago Defender is a Chicago-based online African-American newspaper. It was founded in 1905 by Robert S. Abbott and was once considered the "most important" newspaper of its kind. Abbott's newspaper reported and campaigned against Jim Crow era violence and urged black people in the American South to come north in what became the Great Migration. Abbott worked out an informal distribution system with Pullman porters who surreptitiously (and sometimes against southern state laws and mores) took his paper by rail far beyond Chicago, especially to African American readers in the Southern United States. Under his nephew and chosen successor, John H. Sengstacke, the paper took on segregation, especially in the U.S. military, during World War II. Copies of the paper were passed along in communities, and it is estimated that at its most successful, each copy made its way into the hands of four to five African-Americans.

In 1919–1922, the Defender attracted the writing talents of Langston Hughes; from the 1940s through 1960s Hughes also wrote an opinion column for the paper. Washington D.C and international correspondent Ethel Payne, poet Gwendolyn Brooks, author Willard Motley, journalists Ida B. Wells and Louis Lomax wrote for the paper at different times. During the height of the civil rights movement era, it was published as The Chicago Daily Defender, a daily newspaper, beginning in 1956. It returned to a weekly paper in 2008.
In 2019, its publisher, Real Times Media Inc., announced that the Defender would cease its print edition but continue as an online publication. The editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, noting the impact The Defender has had in its 114 years, praised the continuation of the publication in its new form.

Q: Creating a waterproof project enclosure I recently got an otterbox drybox for my phone. I was sitting and thinking that its waterproof, crushproof, and big enough to fit what I need as well protective foam. I realized this would make an amazing project enclosure...
My only problem is that I can't get the wires out of the box without negating the waterproof aspect of the box. I was thinking to drill appropriately sized holes in the box, insert bolt style contacts, and seal it with a mix of silicone caulk and gorilla glue but im not sure if the mixture would be conductive...
normally I would just go with the idea but I figured I would ask if anyone has had this problem and solved it. I want it to still be water proof up to 100ft and crush proof up to 1000lbs (as the product is advertised to withstand) and I'm not sure if I have the right idea...
Question: How do I seal a project enclosure to be water and air tight using a non-conductive seal that can withstand greater forces than a grommet?
EDIT
A more specific description of what i am getting at seems to be in order... I want to use an Android device and an open source project called "IOIO" (a link to the landing page can be found here) to construct really any kind of unmanned, WIFI/Bluetooth/3G/4G/LTE/USB enabled, waterproof, and crush proof vehicle. Since submersibles are not out of the question, I got curious about maintaining the water resistance of the aforementioned product. With land vehicles being a possibility, crush proof sounds nice.
To answer a question from the comments which was what exactly I would need outside of the submersible to be connected. Everything expensive is exactly that, expensive. I will be using a relatively expensive android device, as well as the IOIO for each one of the products. Motors and frames and even overkill waterproofing can be made to happen cheaply if done correctly, but a $700 android phone is $700. So my desire is to protect the majority of the expense in a single well protected unit. (Just imagine the insurance package i can sell on my products if I know for a fact that there has been no significant damage to the real expense). So to answer the question directly, I would want to run circuitry from the box to all forms of input and output that may or may not be applicable to the intended circumstance.

A: As already mentioned, 100 ft is a lot.  IEC 60529, which is a standard for ingress protection, tests their IP67 rating at 1 meter depth for 1 hour.  IP67 is generally considered to be equivalent to a NEMA 6 enclosure, I think.
There are a number of companies that make multi-hole, water-tight cord grips.  Two examples that come to mind are Heyco (IP68) and Sealcon (IP66/IP68). There are other companies that make similar things, too, so look around.
One thing to keep in mind is that if your lead wire exiting the box is stranded, you have a leak path through the wire (between the insulation and the copper strands).  One solution to this is lead wire manufacturers can fill that space between the insulation and copper to prevent leaking.  Another option is to have a water-tight connector on the other end of your lead wires, too.

A: I think what you're looking for is a "bulkhead connector". You want this enclosure to withstand 100' water depth, though? Without pressure compensation? You're asking a lot! You may have to opt for a spherical enclosure instead - the flattish sides of the OtterBox aren't likely to be able to withstand that sort of pressure differential.

A: You could use waterproof connectors, but they can get quite expensive by the time you buy the mating pair.
Your idea of penetrating the enclosure with fasteners used for contacts is a good one if the electrical conductivity of whatever they're submerged in doesn't matter, and you can do it all with seelskrews and no glue.

A: My approach to the problem would be to do an end run around passing signals & power through the wall since, as others pointed out, 100' is pretty darn deep and a lot of pressure.
To send/receive data, use a transparent/translucent box and communicate with the outside world through infrared. Signals can be sampled and transmitted via LED/photodiode. Loss won't be an issue if the receiver and transmitter are immediately on either side of the enclosure wall.
Supplying power is a bit more difficult, but you should be able to inductively couple through 0.1" of plastic without much loss.
But if you're looking for a cheap, watertight material to make small enclosures, I'd start with PVC pipe and plumbing fixtures.

A: Depending on what sort of connections you'll need in or out of the box, you can use standard panel connectors or feed-throughs and cement them in. Provided the pin connections are solid (not hollow) and you use good strength epoxy, the result should hold up pretty well, although I'm not running the allowances for pressure at 100ft depth in my head.
If you need a more generic connection where it won't suffice to use something like an Ethernet or USB panel, then you may want to check out if you can find a supply of MIL-DTL-38999 connectors. These are round panel connectors, circular, high pin density, and the -38999 standard deals with connectors for harsh environments, namely swamp and water and the good stuff. These connectors lock via an outside screw mechanism.
Granted, they're filthy expensive but you get a large amount of pins that can be used for anything from bit-banging to GPIO to more advanced protocols.
You can find a more generic list on DigiKey of -38999 connectors here. To find out what they're rated for in terms of exposure you might want to consult the standard of which the closest link I can find is here.
Comment on this and let me know what you're looking for specifically and I can suggest options that are less likely to make your wallet (and wife, if applicable) hate you.
EDIT: Also, don't mix caulk and Gorilla glue, as the mixture/resultant slurry may not hold. Use one or the other, and a hard epoxy or the Gorilla glue is most likely the preferable route. Keep in mind that Gorilla glue has a tendency to foam up when it's curing so take that into consideration if attempting to work in tight spaces or tolerances.

A: if you use it in sea water you can use goldplated contacts for the pins in the housing. (they will not oxidize like most others will)
and you can use some strong magnets in the housing to make it easy to click the cable side on. (that side then need to have some iron our magnets with the right pole to the encloser  side)

A: I have had great success creating underwater enclosures with PVC endcaps, and have detailed the development of my underwater housings over time on the Cave Pearl Project blog: (note: reverse chrono order)
http://edwardmallon.wordpress.com/category/a-diy-underwater-housing/
I considered the otter boxes back a the beginning of the project, but as an earlier poster mentioned, they bow in significantly at depth. I also did not like their anemic little O-rings. I have tried several epoxies for the hull penetrations, and so far Loctite E30CL has been the winner for mounting sensors on the outside of the hull (JB weld has also stood up well over time). Be sure to score the smooth pvc surfaces to help with mechanical bonding, as many epoxies have low shear strength on polymers.
Many of my housings have spend several months down in the 100 ft territory. 3" pvc caps are more than strong enough for this, but I have seen a fair amount of compression on 70duro EPDM orings over that time at depth. I wet sand the oring seats down to 800 grit (starting at 200 grit after cutting) and that has proved sufficient for a good seal.
I recently started building cheap underwater connector cables with Nibco PEX swivel adapters from the local hardware store. These have not been depth tested yet, but I suspect they will be good to 100ft as long as I make sure the mating oring seat is clear of any casting seams that might let water sneak by the cone washer.

Q: MATLAB Best way to extract data from text files and convert rows to vectors? I'm having a lot of issues trying to extract the data from the attached text file ('scratch.txt'). My goal is to convert every row in the text file to a 1xn vector where n is the number of variables in the text file row. I also need to make sure that every value extracted into these vectors is an 8 byte floating point.
This is what I have so far but I don't know how to convert what I currently have as the output into a matrix:
fid = fopen('scratch.txt');
tline = fgetl(fid);
while ischar(tline)
    disp(tline)
    tline = fgetl(fid);
end

Currently this is what I get as the output:
4   3
1   10
2   30
3   20
4   0
1   4 1
2   1 3
3   3 2
1.e7    1.339   .5
4
1 5 3 4
1
7 5.0

A: Use str2num to convert tline into a numeric row vector.
Since you have varying number of elements in each row, you cannot convert your data into a matrix: matrix (by definition) has the same number of elements in each row.
What you can do, is store the row in a cell array.
res = {};
fid = fopen('scratch.txt');
tline = fgetl(fid);
while ischar(tline)
    res{end+1} = str2num(tline);
    tline = fgetl(fid);
end

HMS Circe was a Royal Navy 32-gun fifth-rate frigate, built by Master Shipwright Joseph Tucker at Plymouth Dockyard, and launched in 1804. She served in the Caribbean during the Napoleonic Wars, and participated in an action and a campaign for which in 1847 in the Admiralty authorised the issuance of the Naval General Service Medal with clasps. The action, off the Pearl Rock, near Saint-Pierre, Martinique, was a debacle that cost Circe dearly. However, she also had some success in capturing privateers and a French brig. She was sold in 1814.

Service
Circe entered service in November 1804 under Captain Jonas Rose. She then began operating off Portugal. On 1 March 1805 she captured the Spanish privateer schooner Fama off Oporto. Fama was armed with four brass guns and had a crew of 62 men. She had left Vigo eight days earlier but had not yet taken any prizes. Circes crew received headmoney for the 62 men in 1829.

Next, on 21 June, Circe captured the privateer Constance in the Leeward Islands. Constance was armed with 10 guns and had a crew of 75 men. She was just out of Guadeloupe. However, she may have been the same Constance that Circe had earlier captured off the coast of Spain. The Admiralty took her in as the schooner .
On 9 May Circe and  captured Charles. Then on 11 September Circe was one of several British warships that shared in the capture of Hiram.

West Indies: In 1806, command passed to Hugh Pigot, who took Circe to the West Indies. On 9 December Circe captured Belle Eliza.

On 2 January 1807 Circes boats took the privateer Creole, of one gun and 28 men. On 5 April she took Austerlitz after an 18-hour pursuit. Austerlitz was armed with eighteen 6-pounder guns and had a crew of 125 men. Pigot reported that "This Vessel has done more Mischief to the Trade than any other from Guadaloupe during the War". The British had chased her several times without catching her and she would have escaped this time too had she not sprung her main topsail-yard and fore-top-gallant mast. Then  The Royal Navy took Austerlitz into service as .

Next, Circe was among the British ships sharing in the capture on 20 October 1807 of the Danish schooner Danske Patriot.

In December Circe was part of the squadron under Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane that captured the Danish islands of St Thomas on 22 December and Santa Cruz on 25 December. The Danes did not resist and the invasion was bloodless.

In 1808 Circe participated in the blockade of Guadeloupe. In March Pigot took command of a landing party made up of seamen and marines from Circe,  and . They captured Marie Galante after having met no resistance. Neither side suffered any casualties. At some point Circe came under the command of Commander Charles Kerr (acting).

Then on 31 October 1808 Circe encountered a French brig near Diamond Rock. At Circes approach the brig took shelter under the guns of a battery. Still, after an engagement of no more than 15 minutes, Circe captured the , which was under the command of M. Fourniers. Palinure was armed with fourteen 24-pounder carronades and two 6-pounder guns. She had 79 men aboard, most of whom were troops from the 83rd Regiment. She had lost seven killed and eight wounded; Circe had lost one man killed and one wounded. The guns of the battery were so much higher than the vessels beneath them that they could not bring their guns to bear and fired few, if any shots. Earlier that month Palinure had recaptured the Cruizer-class brig-sloop .

On 11 November, Circe, Epervier, and  captured Intrepid. Nine days later, Amaranthe, Circe, , Epervier and Unique captured the American ships  and Mary and Allen. Prize money for Intrepid and Bonetta was paid in 1814, and 1839.

Off the Pearl Rock: Circes greatest action commenced on 12 December 1808, when under Commander Francis Augustus Collier, Circe was in charge of a squadron that included , Epervier, , and . The vessels joined together to attack the French 16-gun brig Cygne and two schooners off Saint-Pierre, Martinique. Circe sent in her boats, which the French repelled, causing her 56 casualties, dead, wounded and missing.

That evening Amaranthe, under the command of Captain Edward Pelham Brenton, joined Circe and Stork. The next day fire from Amaranthe compelled the crew of Cygne to abandon her and Amaranthes boats boarded and destroyed the French vessel. For her part Amaranthe lost one man killed and five wounded due to fire from shore batteries. One schooner ran ashore and was destroyed.

Amaranthe's boats, assisted by boats from the schooner Express, boarded the second schooner and set fire to her too. This expedition cost Amaranthe her sailing master, Joshua Jones, who was severely wounded. The other British vessels that contributed boats also had casualties. Including the losses in the earlier fighting before Amaranthe arrived, the British had lost some 12 men killed, 31 wounded, and 26 missing (drowned or prisoners) for little gain. Brenton was promoted to Post-captain soon after the battle, with the promotion being back dated to 13 December, the date of the battle. In 1847 the Admiralty authorised the award of the NGSM with the clasp "Off the Pearl Rock 13 Decr. 1808".

, Nimrod, and  shared in the proceeds of the American schooner Minerva, forward from Saint Christoper.

1809: Circe was in company with , , and  when Wolverine captured the French brig Josephine on 15 January 1809. Then in February Circe was in the squadron that took part in the successful invasion of Martinique. In 1847 the Admiralty authorised the NGSM with clasp "Martinique" to all surviving claimants from the campaign.

On 31 March Circe and  captured Frederique.

In April 1809, a strong French squadron arrived at the Îles des Saintes, south of Guadeloupe. There they were blockaded until 14 April, when a British force under Major-General Frederick Maitland and Captain Philip Beaver in , invaded and captured the islands. Circe was among the naval vessels that shared in the proceeds of the capture of the islands.

Circe was also among the vessels sharing in the prize money from Pompees capture of the D'Hautpoul on 17 April.

In July, Captain Edward Woolcombe took command. Circe was among the vessels listed as having participated in the ill-fated Walcheren Campaign that took place between 30 July and 10 August. She shared in the proceeds of the property captured at Walcheren and the adjacent islands in the Scheldt.

Woolcombe sailed Circe to the Mediterranean on 17 February 1810. She remained there in 1811 before returning to Portsmouth in July 1812.

Circe sailed for the Leeward Islands on 15 November. There, in company with , she took the American privateer Lovely Lass on 14 May 1813 after a nineteen-hour chase. Lovely Lass was under the command of Mr. John Smith, an officer in the American navy. She had been armed with five guns but had thrown four overboard during the chase. She had a crew of 60 men and had been out for forty days without having made any captures. A later report gave her tonnage as 80 tons and her crew as 73 men. She was from Wilmington and Circe sent her to Kingston.

Four days later Circe captured the American schooner William, of 145 tons and 7 men. She was carrying staves and lumber from Boston to Porto Bello and Circe sent her too to Kingston. The prize court restored William to her owners and deducted certain expenses of the detention from Circes prize money for Lovely Lass.

Fate
In 1814 Circe went into ordinary at Portsmouth. The Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy offered the "Circe, of 32 guns and 670 tons", lying at Portsmouth, for sale on 11 August 1814. The buyer had to post a bond of £3,000, with two guarantors, that they would break up the vessel within a year of purchase. She was sold on 20 August 1814 for £1,900.

To truth is that I would very happily pay to watch Alan Rickman change his socks.
So imagine how I felt when Franck and I sat down on the couch the other night to watch a movie about wine starring Alan Rickman. Needless to say, on l'a degusté (there is just no equivalent in English) with exquisite pleasure.
Wine. Alan Rickman. France. Alan Rickman. California. Alan Rickman. The legendary blind tasting where Chateau Montelena beat out the French Chardonnays. Alan Rickman. Grapes. Alan Rickman.
Go and rent it from your library for concrete proof that frugality can go hand in hand with pleasure, not to mention Alan Rickman.
You've seen him in Truly Madly Deeply, right? If not, hie yourself back to the video store and rent it. Watch with a box of Kleenex.
Are there any other actors besides Alan Rickman? Le sigh.
He was hilarious in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (Why would anyone choose Costner over Rickman–get your head examined, Maid Marion!). He has just too much fun acting. It's contagious. He also is very feline–inscrutable, elegant, demanding, and playful.
Oh yeah – DEFINITELY add this one to your list. Did you see him in Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility?
I think it's time I re-rented that one too.
ANOTHER one I have to rent again! I think Truly, Madly, Deeply is where I fell in love with him in the first place.
Have you seen Bottle Shock yet?
I don't think I've seen that one – I can feel an Alan Rickman festival coming up in my near future.
Yay! Glad you liked it. Can you lend it mom and dad now?
LOVED it. As Pam would say, *le sigh*. Will give it to Mom & Dad but Mom in bed today with NeoCitran (sp?). She's feeling very sick.
But you can't forget the all time best-tongue-in cheek performance of Alan Rickman's "Alexander Dane" in Galaxy Quest, reflections upon which got me through the early phases of labour until the oxytocin was introduced. Not many could carry off that one piece "space suit" plus the plastic cranium decor (which kept coming apart at the seams). God – might have to watch that again.


The most New Jersey driver ever reportedly crashed a Lamborghini Murcielago by the George Washington Bridge early Monday morning, and then left the scene while the supercar burned.
North Jersey.com reports that the crash happened around 2:00 AM on Monday at the Fort Lee side of the bridge, right around where Christie screwed around with all that traffic.
The AP reports that the driver is 33-year-old Deankarte E. Ditchfield-Agboh according to Port Authority authorities. He was issued summonses for "abandonment of a vehicle" as well as "leaving the scene of an accident."
The car was an '08 Murcielago, not a Diablo as was previously reported.
Only a true New Jersey driver could possess such a zero fucks given attitude.
UPDATE: Jalopnik contacted Ditchfield over the phone, but he declined to comment about the crash and his appearance on the 2009 Gumball Rally, seen on his Facebook page discussing a Bugatti and Porsche pulled over at a claimed 171mph and here with singer Mario.
Hat tip to Patrick Frawley!

Great progress at Lower Basic school this year
This post, as promised, reports back on what donations to Sohm School Support have achieved in the Lower Basic school over the last twelve months, or so.
Everything we do there is at the request of, or in agreement with, the principal, governors and community of the village.
There are only three, outdoor, toilet blocks for the 400 pupils and 20 staff of the school. As we reported last year, they were unsanitary, attracted snakes and in states of considerable disrepair. At the request of the community, we have completely upgraded these - with new doors and roofs, new concrete bases (to keep out the snakes) and provided them with a lick of paint. See below for the "before" and "after" shots of one of these blocks.
Toilet block - before and after refurb
Stationery order
As in previous years, we have supplied enough stationery to meet all the pupils needs during the school year, and materials for the staff. These are not provided by the government, or educational authorities in The Gambia.
Some of the pupils excitedly showing
off some of the stationery donation
Many of the pupils are unable to get peace and quiet at home, to either do homework or read. Following our refurbishment of the school's library, two years ago, last year we funded the creation of a homework club (2 hours) in that library on one night a week for any pupil who wanted it. This has proved very popular and successful. We will be continuing with the scheme and looking to extend it in future years.
Homework club in progress
Last year we completely refitted out the school's First Aid room and got training for the staff, senior pupils and parents in first aid from our friends at FirstAid4Gambia. The charity has returned to completely restock the first aid room with medical equipment for the forthcoming year. We thank them for their extended generosity, and to Mamadou, in particular, their extremely efficient local contact.
Some of the FirstAid4Gambia supplies
that will benefit both school and village
There are few TV sets in the village and none in the school..Three years ago we paid for the electrification of the school. This year - together with our partners in Jersey - we were able to purchase the school's first TV - and and necessary massive aerial dish - and DVD player. Gambian TV isn't great - but it does mean that for the first time the children at the school will be able to watch appropriate educational DVDs - a huge step forward in the teaching resources available to the school.
Deputy principal, Lamin, unloads the TV and
an engineer installs the satellite dish
See above and below photos of the school's deputy head, Lamin Saidy, excitedly unloading the TV, people working to fix the aerial and an engineer tuning the system. It's all systems go, for the future!
The engineer tunes - ready for reception!
And ... the children watching the TV in class,
for the first time!
New laptop for staff
Last year we donated a re-conditioned laptop to the school's deputy principal and he has made great use of it, for the school's benefit. His self-taught up-skilling and the impact it has had on the school encouraged us to donate another laptop to an enthusiastic teacher. The smile on his face says it all!
Another delighted laptop recipient!
Excellent progress
The school and regional educational authority continue to be delighted by our interventions at the school. One result is that the school is now top of its "cluster" of regional primary schools, in attainment levels.
Exciting plans for this year
Over the last twelve months some extremely generous local donors (including the Redbridge Rotary Club and friends) have donated significant sums of money towards restoring semi-derelict classrooms. Our next newsletter will provide updates on plans for this work. And they are very exciting.

Q: Vmware Server2 Last known working kernel version I hope there is some vmware expert here who can help me out.
I would like to know what is the lastest Linux Kernel version which known to work with Vmware Server 2.0.2.
What I using right now is 2.6.32 where the vmmon and other modules still need patching.
For higher versions like 3.x it wouldn't compile anymore for sure.

A: The last system I've been able to get VMware Server 2.0.2 working on was 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 on a RHEL5 5.3 server.
If you have the luxury of something 2.6.32 or newer, you have KVM, LXC and many other options available to you. Don't look back. Move on from VMware Server.

I have a simple question: How do I import a vector file into Photoshop WITHOUT getting it rasterised?
I know that Photoshop can do curves and paths and all of that, so why can't I open an SVG file in it?
I have now tried everything I can. I have a perfectly fine, vector imagine in one PDF file, now I want it to be transferred to Photoshop so it can have the vectors preserved. You cannot tell me it's impossible.
Simply put: Photoshop is not a vector editor.
Photoshop merely has some vector editing capabilities in it's raster code base but is not designed to be a full-fledged vector editing application.
If you wish to edit SVG files, a more apprpriate tool would be an actual vector editor such as Illustrator or InkScape. Or.... even a text editor to alter the SVG XML is more appropriate than Photoshop.
ADD: see a comment. Smart object also keeps the vector data, but it's not editable in PS. You can open it in Illustrator.
The upper is pasted as shape layer. It generated a layer filled with the current foreground color and masked with all paths what happened to be included. You can make edits with the white arrow tool. Text is outlined, no more a text object.
The lower is pasted as path. Every path was added to the work path as new sub-paths. They can be selected, edited, stroked or used to make selections.
If you expect how to import it to PS as is with all colors, strokes effects and as fully in Photoshop editable vector, you must import it shape by shape to build the new layers with right colors. You will not get colors, strokes nor effects as vectors, only zero width colorless paths. The rest must be rebuilt in PS.
Photoshop can import an SVG file as a "smart object". Although you will not be able to edit the curves so to speak (Photoshop is not a vector editing program...Illustrator is) the image will not be rasterised, and is fully scalable and non-destructively editable.
Chose File > Place Embedded (or Place Linked). Double click to edit the contents of the Smart Object (the SVG file in Illustrator). Or you can drag and drop an SVG from the libraries panel.

Jackson Township first appeared as a subdivision of Montgomery county June 6, 1814. In 1820 the present boundaries of Jackson Township were established. It is of the greatest advantage in understanding the location of the lands in the township that the original surveyed or congressional township is the same as the political township. Jackson Township is township 4, range 4 east. It has, therefore, thirty-six square miles of territory. Big Twin and Little Twin creeks flow through its territory. Tom's Run passes throughout the western part and empties into the Big Twin. The land consist of a large area of bottom lands and hilly and level uplands.
The township began to be settled soon after the adjacent territory of German and Jefferson townships began to be occupied. With the opening of the land to regular settlement in 1801, the intrepid pioneers made their appearance. Many of the present residents of the township are the descendants of the original settlers. Many persons have guessed and speculated as to the locations and arrival of the first settlers. The following table indicating the purchasers and time of purchase of Jackson township lands, taken from the records of the state auditor, gives a glimpse of the earliest settlers.
S.W.1/4 Abraham Hoover…………Oct. 3, 1814.


There's no real proof that this is true, but here's how I see it. If you're eating tomatoes, you're not eating something else that could be bad for you. And tomatoes are certainly good for you. Food experts call them "a nutrient-dense, super-food."
Medical News Today says, "Tomatoes are a rich source of vitamins A and C and folic acid. Tomatoes contain a wide array of beneficial nutrients and antioxidants, including alpha-lipoic acid, lycopene, choline, folic acid, beta-carotene and lutein."
Sounds impressive, but the bottom line to me is the taste. Summer dinners during my Pennsylvania childhood were almost palatable because of homegrown tomatoes served on the side.
The key to success is slicing the tomatoes at least 1 hour beforehand, placing the slices on a clean towel and then covering them with another towel. This blots away the excess moisture and keeps the crust from becoming soggy.
Cut the tomatoes into 1/4-slices and blot away the moisture, as described above.
When ready to make the pie, preheat the oven to 400 degrees (or 375 degrees if using a glass pie pan).
Spread the mustard onto the bottom of the pie crust and then cover with cheese. Lay half the tomato slices on top of the cheese, making sure the slices overlap. Sprinkle with half the garlic powder, rosemary, salt and black pepper. Repeat the process, using up the rest of the tomato slices, salt and spices. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to brown and start to shrink.
Serve immediately or let cool and serve at room temperature.


Reading, Pa. – D. A. of Berks County District, John Adams announced last Wednesday that a police officer, who was off-duty, is not guilty of road rage shooting while the man who was shot is facing criminal charges.
This statement was the result of an investigation of the June 17th incident that involved the residers of two cars in Ontelaunee Twp. The off-duty officer, identified as Ryan Brobst, was by himself seated inside one of the vehicles while three men and two women were inside the other.
Police said that it was a late night incident that began along R- 61 and was culminated at Leesport Ave. and Berkley Park Rd. The occupants of both vehicles finally stepped out of their cars to confront each other.
The group of five started beating officer Brobst and after a while it reached the point when the officer used his personal weapon and finally shot one of his assailants. Cesar Moreno, the injured man, was the driver of the other vehicle.
The group scattered after the shot was fired gunfire and the other two men fled. According to police, Moreno was brought to a local hospital for treatment and was soon released. Moreno is now facing charges that included: (1) simple assault; (2) DUI; and (3) reckless endangerment. He is not yet in custody.
The other man involved identified as Ramon Villa was able to escape custody after giving officers a fake name. He was charged with the following: (1) for escaping; (2) giving false ID; and (3) simple assault. He was supposed to be committed to the Berks County Jail with a bail in the amount of $75,000 bail. Brobst serves as part-time officer for both the Fleetwood and Hamburg police departments.
According to Chief Scott Eaken of the Northern Berks Regional Police Department, the occupants of two separate cars, which may have come into the presence of each other at one point, were main players in the incident.
A road rage shooting resulted to the critical wounding of one man in Ontelaunee Township. The incident started on R-61 and ended at the Berkley Park Road and Leesport Avenue.
When occupants of both vehicles stepped out, they engaged in verbal confrontation during which time, one man from the group punched the single police officer. It was followed by everybody in the group beating up the single driver. It came to the point that the driver shot one man in the group. The melee stopped as they all scattered with the other two men scampering away. The wounded man was transported by ambulance to a local hospital. Everyone participating in the fracas was apprehended by the police..
A police officer during his off-duty time was a victim of a road rage incident that ended into shooting at Berks County late Tuesday night. At the start of the investigation the police did not release the name of the police officer to the media.
