Yaphet Kotto: 5 Must-See Movies
by Fred Topel twitter facebook linkedin | More Articles: Celebrity
Yaphet Kotto died on March 14 according to a Facebook post his wife, Tessie Sinahon, wrote on his Facebook page on March 15. Representatives of Kotto confirmed the news with Showbiz Cheat Sheet. With so many movie and television credits between 1964 and 2008, there are sure to be gems worth discovering between the big hits.
L-R: Yaphet Kotto and Kurt L. Schmoke | Robert Gilberg/NBCU Photo Bank
Kotto played Baltimore, Maryland police Lt. Al Giardello the longest, for seven seasons on Homicide: Life on the Street. He got to play Othello in a 1980 Shakespeare movie adaptation. But, five fan-favorite movie roles over the decades made Kotto a cinema legend.
Yaphet Kotto was among the first to encounter the 'Alien'
By now everyone knows the Alien. Its face huggers plant a seed in you which grows until it pops out of your chest, killing you in its escape. Then it grows and bleeds acid, if you can even cause any damage to it. The first encounter reportedly sent Kotto back to his trailer.

The 1979 Alien was the Nostromo crew, and moviegoers', first encounter with the creature. Kotto played Parker, a crew member just trying to survive and get home from a job. The fact that he wasn't in any other Alien movies gives you a hint as to his fate, although he's credited as Parker's voice in the 2014 Alien: Isolation video game.
Yaphet Kotto was the Bond villain in 'Live and Let Die'
Live and Let Die was Roger Moore's first James Bond movie. Based on the Ian Fleming novel, Bond goes to New Orleans to investigate the death of another agent. That's where he discovers Kananga (Kotto)'s master plan involving heroin and voodoo.
L-R: Julius W. Harris, Yaphet Kotto, Jane Seymour and Roger Moore | Sunset Boulevard/Corbis via Getty Images
Kananga has an underground lair that would make Blofeld or Dr. Evil proud. Bond defeats him in one of the series' more questionable special effects, but Kotto is a great menace in 1970s style.
'The Running Man' and his friends
The Running Man was an Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle. Its premise, based on a Stephen King (as Richard Bachman) novel, of a game show that hunts contestants to the death, wasn't far off from today's reality TV. Schwarzenegger played Ben Richards, a pilot framed for murder when he refuses an order to kill innocent civilians.
Richards meets Laughlin (Kotto) and Weiss (Marvin J. McIntyre) in prison and after they escape, they end up on "The Running Man" together. Kotto helps Schwarzenegger battle hunters like Subzero (Professor Toru Tanaka) and Buzzsaw (Gus Rethwisch), and he rocks the silver spandex uniform.
Yaphet Kotto hunts Robert De Niro's 'Midnight Run'
Midnight Run is one of the great '80s buddy action-comedies. Robert De Niro plays bounty hunter Jack Walsh. Walsh and FBI Agent Alonzo Mosely are after the same bail skipper, Jonathan Mardukas (Charles Grodin). Walsh finds him first and Mosely is on their tail.
The Best (and Worst) of 'Alien': The Movies Ranked
Kotto is a foil in Midnight Run, but a magnificent straight man to De Niro and Grodin's shenanigans. If you like this kind of caper, Kotto also plays an FBI agent on the trail of some wacky crooks in Two If By Sea.
Yaphet Kotto helped make sure 'Freddy's Dead'
The best part of Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare is that it was not, in fact, final. It only took three years to make Wes Craven's New Nightmare, and then Freddy vs. Jason in 2003 and a 2010 Nightmare on Elm Street remake.
When they really, honestly, thought they were making the last one, Kotto played a youth center counselor trying to help kids. His job got a lot harder when Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) followed some kids from Springwood. He actually helps Maggie (Lisa Zane) come up with the plan to kill Freddy "for good" and gets a few jabs in himself.

"I had no previous knowledge of this project until I learned about it in the press, and I came out of my seat when I saw that eminent domain could be used to acquire the land for it. The proposed transportation hub is a major step for North Carolina, but not at the expense of private property rights.
Troxler spoke publicly about the issue earlier in the day at the annual meeting of the N.C. Sweet Potato Commission in Clinton.

name: NewDnsProvider
parameters:
  - name
  - type
  - meta
return: string
---

NewDnsProvider activates a DNS Service Provider (DSP) specified in `creds.json`.
A DSP stores a DNS zone's records and provides DNS service for the zone (i.e.
answers on port 53 to queries related to the zone).

* `name` must match the name of an entry in `creds.json`.
* `type` specifies a valid DNS provider type identifier listed on the [provider page]({{site.github.url}}/provider-list).
  * Starting with v3.16, the type is optional. If it is absent, the `TYPE` field in `creds.json` is used instead. You can leave it out. (Thanks to JavaScript magic, you can leave it out even when there are more fields).
  * Starting with v4.0, specifying the type may be an error. Please add the `TYPE` field to `creds.json` and remove this parameter from `dnsconfig.js` to prepare.
* `meta` is a way to send additional parameters to the provider.  It is optional and only certain providers use it.  See the [individual provider docs]({{site.github.url}}/provider-list) for details.

This function will return an opaque string that should be assigned to a variable name for use in [D](#D) directives.

Prior to v3.16:

```js
var REG_MYNDC = NewRegistrar("mynamedotcom", "NAMEDOTCOM");
var DNS_MYAWS = NewDnsProvider("myaws", "ROUTE53");

D("example.com", REG_MYNDC, DnsProvider(DNS_MYAWS),
  A("@","1.2.3.4")
);
```

In v3.16 and later:

```js
var REG_MYNDC = NewRegistrar("mynamedotcom");
var DNS_MYAWS = NewDnsProvider("myaws");

D("example.com", REG_MYNDC, DnsProvider(DNS_MYAWS),
  A("@","1.2.3.4")
);
```

Xiaoshuangqiao () is the site of a Bronze Age city, located on the southern bank of the Suoxu River, 20 km northwest of Zhengzhou.

At the centre of the site are rammed-earth foundations of palaces. To the north are sacrificial pits containing human remains. Further pits to the north and south contain the remains of sacrificial cattle. Many of the southern pits also contain remains of other animals, pottery, tools, ornaments and waste from bronze smelting.

The pottery items bear symbols written by brush in red cinnabar pigment. In all but a few cases, these symbols occur singly. A few resemble later characters for numerals, but most are pictorial, representing people, birds and various objects.

Chronologically, the site falls between the Zhengzhou Shang City and Huanbei near modern Anyang.
Some scholars identify it with the city of Ao (隞) named as one of the capitals of the Shang dynasty in Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian and the Bamboo Annals.

Film Festival Movie Reviews
SXSW 2018: Shorts Roundup
Rachel Sennott as Danielle in SHIVA BABY.
Written by:Danielle SolzmanPosted on: March 10, 2018 March 19, 2018
A number of shorts premiered during the 2018 SXSW Film Festival. What follows below is a recap of some of the films that I had a chance to watch during SXSW, including Men Don't Whisper, which I previously saw during the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. Emma Seligman's Shiva Baby takes the honor for the best live-action short I so far during the festival.
Shiva Baby
Emma Seligman's short film is one of the funniest films I've ever seen to be set during a shiva. This even takes the film adaptation of This Is Where I Leave You into account. Rachel Sennott stars as Danielle, a college student who has hooked up with a sugar daddy. She runs into him at the funeral and a ton of chaos shortly ensues.
I love what Seligman did with the film. Among the narrative shorts, it's one of my favorites to premiere this year. Having spoken with Emma the other day, I can't wait to see what the feature version of the film looks like. If this film is any indication, she'll have a bright and promising future as a director.
Men Don't Whisper

I recapped this one during Sundance. The short film will be released on March 14, 2018.
We Win

Michael Stahl-David, directing from a script co-written with Ana Nogueira, reteamed with The Light of the Moon cinematographer Autumn Eakin for a short that takes place during a mafia game night. It's nothing at all like the recently released Game Night but the stakes get raised on relationships in the short starring Nogueira and William Jackson Harper.
On My Way Out: The Secret Life of Nani and Popi
Co-directed by Brandon Gross and Skyler Gross, this documentary short about their grandparents, Roman and Ruth Blank, premiered during the Toronto International Film Festival. At 40 minutes, it may be a bit long but it's one of those stories that you can't believe. At 95 years old, a big secret gets revealed when Roman reveals that he's gay. It has drastic consequences on the family. Not only do their children have to come to terms but it's a secret so big that Ruth may never be the same.
Roman reveals that he knew from a young age but decided that it was better to live in the closet than risk getting murdered for being out in the open.
Death Metal Grandma
Inge with her band the TritoneKings.
Director Leah Galant follows Inge Ginsberg as the Holocaust survivor makes one last attempt for fame as a Death Metal Singer. Ginsburg auditions for America's Got Talent. No matter what happens with the audition, if there's a message from the film, it's that one should never give up on their dreams.
Ginsberg relocated to Switzerland in 1942 as a refugee and later worked as a spy for the OSS! Here's how fresh the film is: she auditions for America's Got Talent in the fall of 2017!
Are We Good Parents?
Photo. Credit: Ludovica Isidori
Directed by Bola Ogun, the short comedy stars Tracie Thoms, Sean Maguire, and Gabrielle Skye Goodman. Lauren (Thoms) and Bill (Maguire) have always assumed their daughter is gay. When they learn she's going to her first dance with Ryan, they have mixed feelings. Their daughter never came out before so they start to worry about the environment they raised her in and whether or not they did the right things.
It's a fun short and hits all the right beats.
Pink Trailer

Pink Trailer is a dark comedy directed by Mary Neely and written by stars Jenny Leiferman and Macey Isaacs. The short is about two best friends, Lucy (Isaacs) and Julie (Leiferman), who are doing their best to hide from their neighbor, Benny (Bill Kottkamp). While Lucy is taking anti-depressants, she runs out of them and soon, they have to deal with Benny whether they like it or not.
With a background in improv, Neely is a filmmaker to watch. Both Leiferman and Isaacs display chemistry and the two ought to be a force to be reckoned with in whatever future projects they work on.
Undiscovered is the Sasquatch movies to end all Sasquatch movies. Filmmaker Sara Litzenberger puts so much heart and emotion into her animated take on the mysterious Bigfoot and why the creature is so elusive when it comes to photos. In just under three minutes, this animated short is enough to rival any animated short coming from the Disney/Pixar factory. All Sasquatch wants is to have a good photo taken. This is where the hikers come into play–they have cameras but once he jumps into frame, anything goes and he just can't get a good photo taken of himself. The last hiker who is really old school by using a Polaroid camera–a las, the hiker trips and leaves the camera behind leaving Sasquatch to take as many selfies as he wants

Q: Reading a tiff image with c++ I'm trying to get information from a tiff image file. The output of Endian is correct but the rest of them are all wrong. The first 8 bytes of the tiff file is:
4d  4d  00  2a  00  02  03  60

The magicno I'm getting is 10752, which is 2A00 is HEX. But I should be reading the third and for bytes, which should be 002a. Need help please!!
Here's my code.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char buffer[3];

    short magicno;
    int ifdaddress;
    short ifdcount;

    ifstream imfile;
    imfile.open("pooh.tif",ios::binary);

    imfile.seekg(0,ios::beg);

    imfile.read(buffer,2);
    imfile.read((char*)&magicno, 2);
    imfile.read((char*)&ifdaddress, 4);

    imfile.seekg(ifdaddress, ios::beg);
    imfile.read((char*)&ifdcount, 2);

    imfile.close();

    buffer[2]='\0';

    cout<<"Endian: "<<buffer<<endl;
    cout<<"Magic: "<<magicno<<endl;
    cout<<"IFD Address: "<<ifdaddress<<endl;
    cout<<"IFD CountL "<<ifdcount<<endl;

    return 0;

}

My output is:
Endian: MM
Magic: 10752
IFD Address: 1610809856
IFD CountL 0

A: You read the endianness marker correctly but you do not act upon it. From Adobe's "TIFF 6":

Bytes 0-1:
  The byte order used within the file. Legal values are:
  "II" (4949.H)
  "MM" (4D4D.H)
  In the "II" format, byte order is always from the least significant byte to the most significant byte, for both 16-bit and 32-bit integers. This is called little-endian byte order. In the "MM" format, byte order is always from most significant to least significant, for both 16-bit and 32-bit integers. This is called big-endian byte order.
  (https://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tiff/TIFF6.pdf)

You need two sets of routines to read a short integer from a TIFF file (and also to read the longer integral types): one that reads Motorola ("MM") big-endian numbers, and one that reads Intel ("II") little-endians.
As it is, you must be one a little-endian system while attemtping to natively read big-endian numbers.
The code to correctly read a word can be as simple as
unsigned char d1,d2;
imfile.read (&d1,1);
imfile.read (&d2,1);
if (magicno == 0x4949)
   word = d1 + (d2<<8);
else
   word = (d1<<8)+d2;

Untested, but the general idea should be clear. Best make it a functionl because you need a similar setup for the "LONG" data type, which in turn is needed for the "RATIONAL" datatype.
Ultimately, for TIFF files, you may want a generalized read_data function which first checks what data type is stored in the file and then calls the correct routine.

Wolfsburg, 22 December 2016, 8AM –At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS, 8 to 22 January) in Detroit, Volkswagen will present a new I.D. family model – a multi-functional vehicle for a new era. The concept vehicle forges links between the legendary origins of the Volkswagen brand and its electrifying future. Like the I.D., this concept is also based on the Modular Electric Drive Kit (MEB), and so it shows the potential and bandwidth of the MEB.
Since the presentation of the I.D. at the Paris International Motor Show in September of this year, these initials have stood for a new generation of fully connected, all-electric vehicles from Volkswagen. The I.D. also stands for purity in design language, form, and character as well as typical Volkswagen attention to detail and ideal use of interior space.
This I.D. concept vehicle will also be able to drive fully autonomously in the future. Press lightly on the Volkswagen logo, and the electrically retractable steering wheel disappears into the dashboard. While the driver relaxes, laser scanners, ultrasonic and radar sensors and cameras monitor other road users and the surroundings.
The I.D. concept vehicle in Detroit forges links between the legendary origins of the Volkswagen brand and its electrifying future. Its overall concept is revolutionary. It combines ample space for travel with a long electric driving range, to usher a new feeling of freedom – with zero emissions – and a new era of mobility.

On September 5, 2015, it was announced that Sánchez would undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the 2016 season as a result. He was released on March 14, 2016, and quickly re-signed to a minor league contract the next day. In 2017, Sánchez was assigned to Indianapolis to begin the 2017 season, where he pitched to a 3-5 record and 3.74 ERA in 39 appearances.

Sánchez was selected to the 40-man roster and called up to the majors for the first time on August 23, 2017. In his debut, he pitched 2.0 innings of 2-run ball against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He finished his rookie season with a 1-0 record and 8.76 ERA in 8 games for the Pirates. On November 27, Sánchez was released by the organization to pursue an opportunity in Japan.

Even if Paris climate agreement goals are met, scientists say the Himalayas are set to lose more than 30 percent of their glaciers by 2100.
At least one-third of the ice in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region will melt by the end of the century, according to a new report.
Scientists from the International Center for Integrated Mountain Development say rising temperatures are behind the accelerated thawing of glaciers in the area. They also say that even if the strictest goals of the Paris climate agreement are met, the Himalayas are set to lose more than 30 percent of their glaciers by 2100. But if those goals are not met and greenhouse gas emissions continue at their current rate, the region could lose two-thirds of its glaciers in the same time.
Glaciers in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region, which stretches over 2,000 miles across eight countries and includes Mount Everest, provide water resources to about a quarter of the world's population. Around 70 percent of that population are farmers who rely on glacier melt water in the dry season. And the study says the thaw could set off a disastrous chain reaction: It could disrupt river flows, which could lead to extreme flooding and droughts, which could bring about more food insecurity and disrupt hydropower energy production.
A U.N. report last year found that if warming continues as it is now, global temperatures will likely reach 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit above pre-industrial levels sometime between 2030 and 2052. But the new report says the increase will likely be even greater in the Himalayas, as more and more evidence suggests warming rates are greater at higher elevations.


Do you know the dangers of sugar in food? If not, this article is a must-read!
Are you aware of the dangers of sugar in food? There is considerable health risk associated with sugar consumption.
According to Harvard University, individuals who consumed excessive sugar were twice as likely to die from heart disease. The daily recommended sugar intake for men and women is 6 to 9 teaspoons respectively. However, the average American consumes roughly 20 teaspoons of sugar per day.
In addition to heart disease, there are many other health complications directly correlated to sugar intake. Life-threatening conditions like diabetes and kidney failure, amongst many others, are the result of a sugary diet.
Read on to learn more about the dangers of sugar in food. Additionally, explore dietary adjustments to cut down on your daily sugar intake.
What Are the Dangers of Sugar in Food?
Excess sugar intake produces negative health outcomes throughout the body. As alluded to above, one of the most serious health complications from sugary foods is heart disease.
Another negative health outcome is the likelihood of obesity. Health studies have shown that increased sugar consumption results in nearly 2 pounds of weight gain in just 2 months. Obesity is directly correlated to many other health complications.
Another serious health threat caused by sugar intake is level 2 diabetes. Medical experts contend that the body responds to added sugar by creating a resistance to insulin.
Insulin is a hormone responsible for converting sugar to energy. A resistance to insulin results in increased sugar levels in the bloodstream. This is how the body becomes vulnerable to level 2 diabetes.
These issues yield a negative ripple effect on the body. The kidneys' job is to filter out sugar in the bloodstream. When blood-sugar levels become too high, corrosive sugar gets in your urine.
The end result of this over the long-term is kidney failure. Lastly, excess sugar consumption leads to issues in the liver, pancreas, and joints. Sugary foods and beverages also result in dental issues, even in young children.
The best way to cut down on sugar consumption is by avoiding specific food types. The number one source of sugar is beverages such as sports drinks and soda. Stunningly, sugary beverages represent one-third of American sugar consumption.
After you throw away the soda, the next place to turn is junk food. American favorites like ice cream, cookies, and candy are all major sources of sugar.
While it is fairly obvious that cake contains a lot of sugar, there are other less obvious foods to eliminate from your diet. For example, traditional tomato ketchup is a significant source of sugar. It's often sweetened with high fructose corn syrup and other sugar additives.
Certain cereals, yogurts, and fruit juices are other surprising sources. To cut down on sugar intake, carefully review an item's nutritional facts before you purchase it.
Reducing sugar consumption is a lifestyle change and it starts at the grocery store. The good news is that there are great-tasting, alternate foods and condiments available so you do not have to sacrifice quality.
Clearly, excess sugar consumption puts your health at risk. Potentially fatal ailments like heart disease and diabetes are correlated with sugary foods and beverages.
Now is the time to cut sugary beverages and foods from your diet. Do it for the health of yourself and your family. If you are concerned about sugar levels in condiments (and you should be!) check out our all natural, Stevia Sweetened sauces, including low-carb tomato ketchup and BBQ sauce.

What's with all the beards?
12th January 2017 by Helena 4 Comments
As if this year hasn't been traumatic enough.
Not only have we had the shock of Donald Trump being elected president, the Brexit vote and David Bowie dying. We have men with beards. Beards are everywhere, they are ubiquitous, they are trendy, they are the latest must-have accessory. Beards are, in fact, the new black. Or orange, as with Prince Harry, who I think has a lot to answer for when it comes to the proliferation of facial hair everywhere.
Glamour Magazine's top 100 Sexiest Men of 2016 contains more than a smattering of Beardy Brits. Topping the list is Kit Harrington of Game of Thrones fame in at number 33; everyone's favourite David Beckham is unshaven at number 38. Also in the top 100 are Craig David, Prince Harry, Gerald Butler and Rufus Sewell. Even Harry Potter (aka Daniel Radcliffe) has a beard.
A few years ago you really only saw beards on men steering canal boats or mad professors. The kind of people who would also wear socks with sandals. They were not considered sexy. Beards were not ever associated with anyone remotely attractive. With the possible exception of George Best, and even he would have looked better without one.
Now anyone who is anyone just has to be hirsute. Going back to the Glamour mag list the actor Idris Elba who is number 29 is sporting a dappled grey beard, Tom Hardy at number 19 is looking slightly jowly with his facial hair, the model David Gandy is at number 17 with a suitably tailored one and Harry Styles at number 12 is desperately trying to get in on the beard look by sporting a bit of fluff that makes him look even more like a 13-year-old trying to look 18 than he already does.
Where did it all go wrong?
One theory I have is that in this metrosexual age men are trying desperately trying to prove their masculinity. Studies have shown that women perceive men with beards as stronger and more aggressive. So in this politically correct era where men are often vilified for being just that, this is one way to show off the masculinity they otherwise have to keep hidden.
Facial hair is also linked to finding a mate. So rather like male birds show off their plumage and hop around on one leg in order to attract a partner, men grow beards to pull. A study of facial hair fashions between 1842 and 1971 by the aptly named researcher Nigel Barber concluded that the predominance of beards is directly linked to the ratio of men to women in the marriage market. Beards and moustaches become more popular when the ratio of women to men is lower.
A friend of mine called Paul Rodgers has sported a beard for four years. He is now so fed up with everyone else doing the same that he's thinking of getting rid of his. He first grew one because it gives his face definition. I always thought it was a lazy thing. I mean it must get rather boring shaving every day. Apparently not. "I didn't grow one to avoid shaving," he tells me. "I still shave every day, and trim my beard every two to three days."
And herein lies one of the big differences between beards back in the 60s and beards now. Whereas then they were allowed to flow as freely as the drugs and love, now they are trimmed, oiled, shaped and groomed to within an inch of their lives.
Look at David Gandy for example. That beard has not just grown like that. No, it's been more neatly manicured than a lawn in suburban Surrey. At the far end of the scale we have (thankfully increasingly less) the goatee, which in my opinion just means someone lacks personality and is trying to make themselves look interesting. It screams 'hey look how zany I am when it comes to my facial hair, just imagine how cool and fun I can be'. It's rather like a banker wearing bright red glasses. You're not cool, or fun and added to which you have ridiculous facial hair that makes you look like a pervert.
Bring back the dapper stars from the 1950s I say. Would James Dean still be remembered as one of the most handsome men ever if he'd had a beard? Would Audrey Hepburn have fallen in love with a Simeon Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday? I don't think so.
I'm not sure what 2017 holds in store. More beards I suppose, as I can't see this hirsute trend going away any time soon. Pretty soon Donald Trump will be wearing a ginger wig on his chin as well as his head.

Honestly it's non of your business. We will grow our beards bigger to make the feminists like you realise just like you have a choice in what to wear and your ridiculous hair styles we chose to have our manly facial hair.
What an extraordinary response Azhoon…you're very welcome to do whatever you like with your beard. And the twitter trolls will be amazed to hear me called a feminist!! That is a first…
Dave Billeter says:
I am an older man and I also think that this beard thing is ridiculus,it is as though every guy is trying to show how masculin he is cause he can grow a beard,gimme a break!

Citi Field Asks Its First Phillies Fan to Leave
A Phillies jacket leads to an untimely exit from Citi Field's inaugural game.
By Josh Alper • Published March 31, 2009 • Updated on April 1, 2009 at 4:09 am
Reed Frazier is a St. John's student majoring in Television and Film Production. He got a job working a camera for the school's athletic department which brought him to Citi Field for the stadium's opening game on Sunday when the Red Storm took on Georgetown.
Frazier is also a Phillies fan. So, when he was told to bring a rain-proof jacket to wear over his St. John's polo shirt, he grabbed one with a Phillies logo and set out to Citi Field. As you'd expect, he encountered Mets fans who gave him a hard time about wearing rival colors. What was less expected was that Frazier would eventually be forced to choose between his jacket and his job.
I returned my attention to my camera. Moments later, the head of the department rumbled up the platform and stood beside me. I looked to my side.
He said, "You have to take off your jacket."
I replied, "In no way does it affect the job I am doing. It is a nonissue."
He responded by saying, "It is an issue with the Mets. You can either put on the jacket or leave."
"Then, I'm leaving."
The whole thing is pretty absurd. If the Mets did ask for Frazier's change of attire and/or departure, then they're being extremely petty and will do nothing but create an untenable situation when the Phillies actually come to Queens during the season. Kicking out people in the other team's gear isn't going to go over well.
If it was just St. John's being overzealous in their attempt to be a good guest, that's just as silly but a bit more understandable. Still, it's one guy there to do a job and, by his telling, causing no discernable stir in the process. It's a jacket, there are bigger fish to fry in the world.
Frazier tells The700Level.com that he didn't wear the jacket to be provocative, but he wore a Phillies jacket to the first game at the new Mets stadium. It's his right, and he certainly should be allowed to wear it, but there was a reason for his clothing choice on Sunday morning. He got a good story out of it, at least, although he'll probably need to find another way to burnish his resume.

Rooibos tea, also sometimes referred to as red bush tea, is gaining in popularity. This is partly due to its rich, nutty flavor, but also for its powerful health benefits.
Rooibos tea comes from a plant called Aspalathus linearis, which is native to parts of South Africa. It is one of the only naturally caffeine and tannin-free tea and contains a large dose of antioxidants and beneficial nutrients in every serving.
People often drink tea when they are interested in maintaining or improving their health. If this is the case, you may want to learn more about Rooibos tea, before you pick up another box of black or green tea bags.
Here are 7 health benefits of Rooibos tea, followed by a simple recipe for preparing Rooibos tea juice.
One of the greatest health benefits of this tea is the fact that it is packed with nutrients. Each serving will provide you with a healthy dose of zinc, copper, iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese and potassium.
Some of these nutrients are lacking from most people's diets. If you have been feeling fatigued or experiencing digestive discomfort, you may be lacking nutrition, which Rooibos tea can help supply.
Drinking Rooibos tea can help promote a healthy digestive system. It contains anti-spasmodic properties which may be able to help soothe common digestive issues, such as vomiting, nausea, and even acid reflux.
Rooibos tea is also full of anti-inflammatory properties that can help fight the signs of aging and protect your skin. By reducing inflammation, you may be able to get relief from eczema, rashes, and sunburn.
Rooibos tea can also help your skin retain its elasticity and could possibly prevent acne. For hundreds of years, people have rubbed Rooibos leaves along their body to heal burns and rashes, and prevent skin irritation.
Drink Rooibos tea to fight allergies and respiratory disorders. Rooibos tea contains polyphenols, which are a type of antioxidant and also contain anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties.
For this reason, it is believed that Rooibos tea can help people deal with symptoms related to allergies and respiratory issues.
Protect your body against harmful free radicals. Rooibos tea may contain up to 50% more antioxidants than green tea. This helps to fight free radicals that are known to increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, and various diseases related to aging.
Many people enjoy the naturally sweet flavor of Rooibos tea. It is stronger than green or black tea, so you should not have to add any sweeteners. If you want to add a splash of flavor, you could try adding a bit of fresh lemon juice that will enhance the taste and nutrients absorption.
You may not realize this, but most teas contain just as much caffeine as coffee. Too much caffeine can increase your heart rate, stress levels, and anxiety.
Rooibos tea is one of the only teas that is naturally caffeine and tannin-free. You can drink it without experiencing the jitters that sometimes come with caffeine consumption.
Simply combine the ingredients in a blender until smooth. The honey is optional, but it can help blend the flavors of the tea and the orange juice together.
While you may not have heard of Rooibos tea before, it is a powerful drink that can help with a wide range of health issues. It does not contain any caffeine nor tannin, and is a nutrient-powerhouse.
The abundance of antioxidants help cleanse your system while the other vitamins and minerals can protect against signs of aging, improve your digestion, and promote better health. Consider picking up some Rooibos tea the next time you visit the grocery store.

We complete our tour through a typical car speaker specification list by looking at Thiele/Small Parameters.
These are important when looking to put speakers in a sealed or ported enclosure. They dictate the optimum size an enclosure should be in order to get the most out of a given speaker and were discovered and developed by two Australian engineers; A. Neville Thiele and Richard H. Small. Unexpectedly, the two engineers did not work together on their research. Richard Small published his research results some time after Thiele although relied very heavily on Thiele's work.
In order to get the best out of any speaker, it is ideal if the air movement from the rear of the speaker does not affect that coming from the front. Traditionally, it was felt that an "infinite baffle" approach was perfect for this – my dad's radiogram was a perfect illustration of this. Essentially, infinite baffle is where a speaker is mounted on a board or panel with no direct route for air movement from the rear to get to the front. This is also sometimes referred to as running "free air" in car audio terms. At higher frequencies, this works perfectly adequately in most instances. However, when it comes to bass frequencies, particularly in the challenging in-car environment, isolating air is much harder than it sounds. Putting a subwoofer in an enclosure gives a designer much more control and adding a port can actually help to enhance speaker performance.
In order to design an enclosure, several unusual physical and electrical properties of a given speaker come in to play in very, very complicated (for me!) mathematics. However, these parameters are often designed into a speaker in a process called synthesis. In this case, a speaker manufacturer will deliberately design in a set of parameters that allows a speaker to be optimised in a compact enclosure for instance. We have seen many of these hit the car audio market in recent years as space and the need to have bass solutions removable have displaced the urge to fill the entire luggage compartment with a giant box housing four 12″ drivers.
It is unusual these days for car audio designers to build custom enclosures for speakers other than subwoofers and so over time, Thiele/Small parameters have been removed. A good manufacturer will still list them as they add credibility to their products but may call them "electro/acoustic parameters" and are output as a result of finite element analysis often employed in speaker design.
There are a baffling number of parameters which can be used to differentiate one speaker from another however, the truly useful ones these days are grouped and labelled as "Large Signal Parameters". These cover such attributes as cone excursion, magnet mass, cone area, impedance etc.
It would probably not be worth looking any further into these parameters unless you are looking for a subwoofer that would work in an existing enclosure or one for which an enclosure requires designing to fit in a specific area of absolute dimensions.
For most music lovers looking to improve the sound in a car, aesthetics probably have as much to do with product selection as Thiele/Small parameters. Fortunately, these days, a good number of subwoofers in optimised enclosures are available off the shelf. When it comes to size, the basic rules of thumb are that the smaller the enclosure, the less deep bass you will get. A ported enclosure will give much deeper bass but will be larger in size.
As always, your local FOUR MASTER can guide you through the often baffling list of strange runes, figures and symbols contained within a speaker specification list. There is however, no substitute for listening to a couple of examples and making up your own mind, based on how their performance moves you.

Apple drops crime reporting app Vigilante from App Store
Dan Pye
November 2, 2016 8:40 am UTC
An app designed to alert residents of New York City to crimes being committed has been pulled from the App Store, The Guardian reports. In a blog post about launching the Vigilante app, parent company Sp0n said it monitors crimes reported to 911 and alerts nearby users so they can get to safety or film crimes as they unfold. But the app didn't last long on the App Store, with Apple citing concerns about its content, according to the app's creator. While Sp0n claims "the closed system excludes the community while the open system informs and empowers citizens," it's easy to see how encouraging average citizens to get involved in investigating or stopping suspected crimes could be problematic. Apple declined to comment on why it removed the app, but a Sp0n spokeswoman said, "The team is working with Apple to resolve the issue and they are confident the app will be made available in the near future. Vigilante will introduce an Android version of the app in the upcoming weeks with plans to expand in additional cities later this year."

City of Washington, D.C., makes the nation's boldest renewable energy commitment yet
AME_ONSL_JAN19_washington-dc_public-domain.jpg
America's capital city is going 100 percent renewable by 2032.
On Dec. 18, the Washington, D.C., City Council unanimously passed the Clean Energy D.C. Omnibus Act of 2018. The bill mandates that all electricity sold to residents, businesses and federal agencies be renewable by 2032, and requires electric-powered public transportation and passenger vehicle fleets by 2045. It also includes strong requirements for energy efficiency in new and existing buildings.
"We're counting on our local and state governments, businesses and other institutions to lead the way by setting their sights on 100 percent renewable energy," said Rob Sargent, senior director of our national network's 100% Renewable campaign. "This bill sends a strong signal to cities and states across America that it's no longer a question of whether we'll get to 100 percent renewable power, but how quickly."
We're working to persuade cities and towns here in our state to follow the capital's lead and join the 100 percent renewable energy movement.
Read our full statement here.
