More than 100 frac sand mines and processing facilities, like this one outside of Bloomer, Wis., have cropped up across the state over the last few years. (photo – Jim Tittle)
After winning just one game the previous year, the Glenwood City Hilltoppers football team reveled in taking home the Wisconsin Division 7 state championship last season.
And in typical small-town fashion, the whole community rallied behind them, recalled Chris Schone, whose son quarterbacked the junior varsity squad.
But now, Schone said, something is "tearing the community apart." A nearly 400-acre open-pit frac sand mine has been proposed for a site less than half a mile from the school, and now those residents who welcome the mine's promises of wealth and prosperity have squared off against those who fear its consequences to their health, way of life and property values.
"Our home is also about a half-mile from the mine," added Schone, who grew up in Glenwood City and owns a nearby gas station and restaurant. "Our four children would be exposed 24 hours a day."

Greed is the motivating factor for residents and farmers who are willing to sell or lease their land to Sand Fracking companies, and the consequences are deadly Silicosis and cancer caused by Frac Sand Mining! That and the destruction of a beautiful and unique environment here in Wisconsin in towns that count on tourism for their livelihoods! – John Loeffler, Fountain City, Wisconsin, U.S.A.

Dan Nisbit's CD Corp. Sand Fracking Facility near the Mississippi River
WINONA, Minn. (AP) — Police arrested 35 people for trespassing Monday during a protest of frack sand mining in Winona.
Officers arrested 19 people at the city's commercial dock after protesters were asked multiple times to leave the private property. Police then responded to a sand processing plant on Winona's west end, where another 16 people were arrested, the Winona Daily News reported. Winona Catholic Workers organized the protest. Protesters say their goal was to halt business operations at each site.
"I think people see that the issue of silica sand is something affecting the entire region," protester Molly Greening said. "They've come to stand in solidarity with this issue."
Dan Nisbit, owner of CD Corp., which leases the commercial dock, says the protest created a distraction for workers and temporarily slowed operations at the facility.
"Obstructing business isn't the right way to go about things," Nisbit said.
Frack sand is used by oil and gas drilling companies. Opponents of frack sand mining have raised environmental concerns.
Monday's protest was part of an annual celebration of the regional Catholic Worker community. Volunteers from Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan and other states in the Midwest traveled to Winona to participate.
"As Catholic Workers living with the poor and marginalize, we come to this land to prevent the desecration of this land and the health of this community," they wrote in a statement Sunday evening. "We declare Monday to be a moratorium of business as usual at the sites of production of silica sand to eliminate a necessary component of fracking."
Catholic Workers and others in the Winona area have protested the industry for more than a year. They have blocked a rail loading terminal, demonstrated at the steps of the Winona City Hall prior to a city council meeting on frack sand regulations, and held other rallies.
During one rally at city hall in May 2012, a protester was cited for littering after he threw a handful of frack sand on the front steps.

When workplace safety expert Eric Esswein got a chance to see fracking in action not too long ago, what he noticed was all the dust.
It was coming off big machines used to haul around huge loads of sand. The sand is a critical part of the hydraulic fracturing method of oil and gas extraction. After workers drill down into rock, they create fractures in that rock by pumping in a mixture of water, chemicals and sand. The sand keeps the cracks propped open so that oil and gas are released.
But sand is basically silica — and breathing in silica is one of the oldest known workplace dangers. Inside the lungs, exposure to the tiny particles has been shown to sometimes lead to serious diseases like silicosis and cancer.
Traditionally, silica exposure has been associated with jobs like mining, manufacturing and construction. But, as Esswein, a researcher with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and other safety experts have started to realize, some workers in the newly burgeoning fracking industry may be at risk, too, because of their exposure to silica dust.
"When sand was handled — that is, when it was transported by machines on site, or whenever these machines that move sand were refilled — dust, visible dust was created," Esswein says.
He was visiting fracking sites because he wanted to study the potential chemical hazards for oil and gas workers, and he initially figured he and his colleagues would probably assess workers' exposures to chemicals like drilling fluids. But when he saw the plumes of dust coming off the sand-handling machines and surrounding workers, he realized it could be a real hazard. The government has long set limits on how much workers can inhale.
"Knowing what I know about silica and respirable dust, that was the particular chemical that we chose to look at," Esswein says.
He and his colleagues visited 11 fracking sites in five states: Arkansas, Colorado, North Dakota, Pennsylvania and Texas. At every site, the researchers found high levels of silica in the air. It turned out that 79 percent of the collected samples exceeded the recommended exposure limit set by Esswein's agency.
There were some controls in place, says Esswein, who notes that "at every site that we went to, workers wore respirators."
But about one-third of the air samples they collected had such high levels of silica, the type of respirators typically worn wouldn't offer enough protection.
These unexpected findings have come just as federal safety officials are trying to set stricter controls on silica for all industries. Some proposed new rules have been under review at the White House Office of Management and Budget for more than two years.
Peg Seminario, director of safety and health with the AFL-CIO, a group of unions that has been pushing for stronger silica regulation, says the situation with fracking is a wake-up call.
"Hopefully it will give some impetus for the need for the silica regulation — that there is a whole other population at risk and those numbers are potentially growing," says Seminario.
Workplace inspectors with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration wouldn't have been aware of this potential risk for fracking workers before this recent study because, unless they receive a complaint or there's an accident, they generally don't see the process of hydraulic fracturing. That part of setting up a well happens quickly — and once a well is up and running, contractors move on to the next one.
Government officials and the fracking industry say they're now working together to reduce workers' exposures. They started with quick fixes, like putting up warning signs and simply closing hatches on sand-moving machines.
Some oil and gas companies are also testing new technologies. Tim Hicks, a safety expert with Encana Corp., says they've been trying vacuum systems that attach to sand-moving machines and suck up the dust.
The results so far are encouraging, Hicks says, but his company is still testing to see how much of a reduction in airborne silica is reasonably achievable.
"We'd like to envision a site that, you know, we could handle sand and sequester it all, and perhaps someday not need to use respirators," says Hicks.
He says he's not sure whether that goal is possible, or how long it would take to get to that point. "But I can say that at the rate we're going," Hicks says, "we're much more likely to hit that [target] than we were prior to this issue being recognized."
Hicks says he has only been working in this part of the oil and gas business for a few years and couldn't speculate as to why the industry didn't recognize this potential health risk earlier. People, he says, seemed to think the dust was basically just dirt.

Is that not a pretty picture? It is what happens to our land when we rely on finite sources of dirty fossil fuel energy. Say goodbye to the trees, the animals, and a clean environment! The picture is not of a Hydraulic Fracturing or Fracking site. It is a picture of the lesser known Sand Fracking that goes on to supply the needed Silica sand for the extremely toxic Hydraulic Fracking process of which there are now 65,000 wells and counting throughout the U.S.
The premium sand that is ideal for Hydraulic Fracturing or Horizontal Fracturing has been found by businessmen, mainly from Texas, and the high quality sand is in Wisconsin and Minnesota! A little-known company called Glacier Sands LLC a.k.a. Seven Sands LLC is responsible for this "gold rush" in the Sand Fracking industry. Their webpage looks innocent, but looks can be deceiving!
Speaking of deception, welcome to Glacier Sands LLC's Leadership: http://glaciersands.com/about-glacier-sands/leadership/
Let's break down three key people in their leadership: Brian Iverson, Ryan Thomas and Ike Thomas. Brian Iverson drew the attention of Texas businessmen Ike and Ryan Thomas, and he formally set up Glacier Sands LLC a.k.a. Seven Sands LLC in 2011 using a Wisconsin address although he lived in Minnesota. Brian Iverson has not only been accused of investment fraud related to a group of mining investors from Montana, but he also filed bankruptcy a little over two years ago to cover over $21 million of debt he accrued related to former business deals "and personal guaranties he gave as security for business loans." Source: http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/news/2012/07/09/frac-sand-or-farmland-wisconsin-farmers-face-showdown-rescheduled-august-9
Boy, this Brian Iverson guy sounds like bad news! He's shady at best, and he has hooked up with two Texas businessmen since 2011 to completely destroy (see picture above) Wisconsin and Minnesota's pristine environment by slithering in like a snake to slowly poison innocent citizens who have lived here for generations. What for? GREED, of course! Brian Iverson needed help to become financially successful, because he has a dirty past of screwing people over, then filing bankruptcy for his losses! Iverson is the epitome of selfishness! He obviously does not care about people in general or his workers, since I am sure he is aware of the dangers of Silicosis and cancer.
Sand Fracking for Crystalline Silica is known to cause Silicosis and cancer. Source: OSHA: http://www.osha.gov/OshDoc/data_General_Facts/crystalline-factsheet.pdf The Silica sand from Sand Fracking can blow for miles if not continually watered down according to lame government standards. At best, the Crystalline Silica produced from Sand Fracking to use in Hydraulic Fracking will only affect nearby areas to include the Mississippi River. That is bad enough if you live in a state where Sand Fracking sites are popping up faster than they can be properly studied for health risks before approval! Without proper studies on the harmful effects and affects of fracking, county boards like Buffalo County, WI just delay the permit for Sand Fracking until all of the 'angry citizen' dust has settled. Then, they go in and vote 3-0 in favor of what nobody wants except for the dirty fossil fuel industry and big business like Glacier Sands LLC! I wonder how many board members and other officials get paid to pass legislation for mining that is NOT wanted by a vast majority of U.S. citizens in general? Probably more than one can possibly imagine! Brian Iverson had help from Ike and Ryan Thomas though. Anything coming out of the most polluted state (Texas) in the U.S. for over a decade and running cannot be good!
Ike Thomas's Linked in profile suggests a man with deep roots in dirty energy and big business: http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=135550272&authType=name&authToken=3tMX&locale=en_US&goback=%2Enpv_135550272_*1_*1_name_3tMX_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1 He has a company called JusRyn (President since 1980) that is not only hard to find (a red flag), but when you do find Ike's company it's listed in the white or yellow pages! This seems a bit fishy to me, but what do you expect from a Texas businessman? What about Ryan Thomas? His Linked in profile says it all including bragging about being a Frack Sand supplier! He has similar business roots like Ike Thomas with dirty mining and dirty energy leading the way: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/ryan-thomas/18/592/664.
Is this what our country wants? A monkey barrel of bullies overrunning our local governments to feed their lust for money and power? Apparently so, because I do not see anyone standing up en masse to protest fraudulent businessmen. Businessmen who sucker farmers or anyone else with many acres of land via a greed-laden but small payout for ruining not only the farmer's or individual's land, but the land, water, complete infrastructure to include roads and buildings of towns and cities, and health of humans and animals!
Do you think that Glacier Sands or any other "Fracking" business is going to pay for human health problems which show up years or decades later, or the contamination of our land and water in general? They will be long gone by the time we catch up to the mess they have left behind! Taxpayers, as usual, will be stuck cleaning up dirty mining's mess due to lack of current concern or ability to do much of anything to stop the Sand Fracking nightmare that consumes Wisconsin and Minnesota! It's such a shame too, because if you can stop the Sand Fracking from happening then you can halt the even more dangerous Hydraulic Fracturing or Fracking that uses Crystalline Silica in large quantities. Fracking, like Glacier Sands is doing, has already turned America's landscape from this

And what's with the payoffs to farmers to ruin their land with the promise of "Sand = Jobs?"
I was at the August 9th Buffalo County Board of Adjustments Meeting, and you must have shelled
out some chump change to convince the morons with your brand new Glacier Sands LLC bright, neon
green shirts with "Sands = Jobs" on the back of them to believe the shit that's coming out of
your mouth regarding the creation of NON-PERMANENT jobs that you stated would be about 42 for
the Glacier Sands LLC Sand Fracking disaster! Another 46 for truck driving, but you admitted
that those jobs would go to the most qualified drivers, most likely your drivers parked outside
our border waiting to rumble in and crumble the area's infrastructure!
Speaking of infrastructure…you never did address my concerns with Glacier Sands LLC/Seven
Sands LLC, and all of your other scheming sand fracking business ventures as far as YOU, Ike
& Ryan Thomas cleaning up all the damage done to roads from hauling tons of sand in dump trucks
from Buffalo County, WI to whichever county will accept your waste. Winona, MN already said "NO!"
What about the infrastructure damage to residences and businesses that will find structural damages
in the form of foundation, wall, ceiling, floor, and other cracks or forms of destruction directly
related to the very heavy toll the buildings will endure from endless rumbling vibrations of trucks
running up and down various roads while you are "fracking around" here? Are you THAT ignorant where
you do not know of a little thing called "Class-Action Lawsuits?" YOU will have to reimburse every
property for damage done…NOT the taxpayers! I know that it would take away the millions of dollars
you, Ike and Ryan Thomas of Texas, have worked so diligently for in the form of cheap payoffs to
your "sugar-coated" farmers, i.e. Glacier Sands LLC, who were dumb enough to buy into your get-rich-quick
scheme!
Last, but certainly not least, you should be ashamed of the lack of conscience you have regarding
defrauding innocent people for the purpose of gaining wealth and power (two of society's worst
traits)! With all of these negative articles floating around about the dangers of Silica or Sand
Fracking, I would think you would know better than to try to sneak under the radar of our pathetic
legal system, starting with Dell Twidt, Buffalo Co., WI Temporary Supervisor, the Board of Adjustments,
and any other negligent politicians who do NOT represent the best interests of our area. Ever hear
of a moratorium? I bet you have!
http://buffalocountypublichealth.com/app/download/7023850004/Final+Report+082412.pdf
Do you think that moratoriums only exist to fight terrible events like ANY form of fracking?
Nope. Moratoriums can permanently shut down "junk" operations, and they can lead to referendums
like a state-wide ban on all forms of fracking, and getting rid of people and entire boards who do
NOT represent the best interests and safety of its citizens! You might want to rethink who you are
"Fracking Around With in Wisconsin and Minnesota!"

About Albert:
Many children dream of becoming an astronaut when they grow up, but so did a chimpanzee named Albert. This children's animated feature was born after years of working on multiple children's animated series and from my love of animal rights and science. Albert is a story about making dreams come true, conquering your fears and learning that through perseverance, anything is possible.
My original series pilot script has been continuously killing it in the script competition world! I'm sure it'll rise to the top of the Red List or at least pretty close. More importantly I can't wait until I either get a call from a streaming service, or we begin our concept shooting of the pilot.

Thanks to those that nominated me, thanks to Kevin for all he has done to elevate the culture of TSAS. Together with those who are new and those that have been around, with the great team on the board already, I hope that we can continue building a brighter future for the community of collectors. May we go beyond the passion for the hobby, but begin to bridge ourselves in a more significant and unified force for positive impact on our civil liberties.
I start on the shoulders of those before, and this transition was not because anything was broken but based on targets of broader breath and a more resourceful reach to begin to rekindle synergy in the state of Florida. It is about continuing to align us across boarders in our three states and across the various collector communities, but since the current events are a pressing importance in Florida's front lines, it is strategic to put a Floridian at the helm. Even then, let us continue to be a blessing in our local communities with scholarships and our venues of education and preservation as whole.
Listen, if we want to be not only a society but individuals that are trusted with preservation, recovery and collection, we as a family of finders need be trustworthy. Though the opposition at times can be nothing but trustworthy, it does not give us the right to join in their unrighteous entitlement. It is important for us to continue being proactive in informing and educating the public transgenerationally, informing ourselves and collaborating more effectively, and continue to mentor and self regulate our activities to ensure an enduring future of our current efforts.
To avoid our efforts getting offset yet again, as we continue to stand for and change to the dangers in the law, we need unity, strong alliances, and a good public image. If we can move from casual to classy, the public and the voters will continue to take us serious. I feel if we can move to a place of testimonials from a place pointing out our set backs of injustice, we will remind ourselves how great it is to be a member of the collecting community, and we will be emblematic of how we are everything but a bunch of outlaws.
Since the legal implication is, by recovering a displaced artifact from Florida's waterways, one is 'stealing' from the state, it is crucial that we become singular in our stand and our public awareness and efforts, for in our unity, we will have better days ahead of us. It won't be over just by adjusting what can even then get adjusted back or into something worse. So, our conduct as a collective needs to uphold a high standard. Look, advocacy is not for big names alone, for it happens at every level. So, get into the conversation and engage the audience that you are given. It is not about the few that get elected but the many that choose to elect, and all those who elect, need proper perspectives and information. May we all begin to help drive more informed conversations and conduct ourselves accordingly.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to serve the family of finders. Our past President, Kevin Dowdy, will be very instrumental in our future, and he had this to say, "Congratulations Teben! I am excited that you are our new president, and I am confident that you will take things to the next level! I appreciate all the support and the opportunity to serve and will continue to support TSAS anyway I can." So, let us all take hold of the future, by doing what we can for forward progress in our own spheres of influence each day.


However, many marketers would still find it hard to create a sales plan that would actually work.Before you go out there and market and sell your products and services, you need to have a sufficient sales plan that would cover the tasks and objectives that you are going to do and must achieve toward having a successful implementation and increase in your sales. Hence, in this article, you can find examples of different sales plan that are actually useful in your operations. Check them out in the next section.You may also see 90-day action plan examples.
In planning, especially in sales, you need to create sales plan that is effective in achieving your planned sales goals. You must carefully set plans in order to have a smooth ride toward what you are trying to achieve. You want that everything is set in place before your plans are placed into actions.You may also see marketing action plan examples.
Hence, your plans must be something that can be easily understood and it must specify the way on how you can achieve your desired goals. Here are some steps that you must consider when creating a sales plan.
When you make a forecast for your sales, make sure that it is based on your assumptions about your market. If you have assumptions that the market is going to decline, you must not forecast an increased sales as this just does not make sense and is contrary to your assumptions.
Always consult the team when making decisions as it is really true that more heads are better that one. Not consulting will result to limited ideas and opinions. Maybe there are many other members of your team who probably have more knowledge about your customers. Thus, ask their opinions, give them time to talk and listen to them, and come to an agreement about your sales plan.
Next, you must clearly define your deadlines for the small tasks that you are working on. These are called milestones which are helpful in tracking whether or not you are still on the right path as regards your sales plan.
Finally, set individual milestones for your sales team so you can keep track on what they are doing and how close they are to achieving the desired outcome.
A market niche is something that would help you focus on your strengths and what you can do and offer to your market. The more visibility you can have in your niche, the greater the chance that can hit the goals as well as milestones in your sales plan.
When you perfectly know and understand your target market, you can use this as your advantage in creating an ideal customer profile which you can set as your basis when you want to launch a new product or services. The moment that you look up the profile, you can immediately know how and what to sell to your customer because you have already understood and know his or her wants and needs.You may also see project action plan examples.
For you, what are the significant features for this product?
How much would you allocate for this?
Currently, how are you solving this problem?
On the other side, why do customers buy from our competitors and not us?
Why do other customers not buy at all?
What do we need to do in order for us to be successful?
Since you already know the types of customers that you are after as well as the methods on how you are going to sell your products and services to them, you must also build a list of prospects to test out your theories. This will help you try and test whether your methods will work or not and whether or not you will put this section in your sales plan and put them into action.
You must also measure how much you have achieved so far and how much more you need to do to achieve what you have planned.
Additionally, with proper implementation, you can surely have a great kick start in your sales and marketing. No doubt, you will never be one of those companies that shut down during their first year of operation. With the right marketing strategy and materials, your plans would actually work toward achieving your sales goals.


Doak Walker won the 1948 Heisman trophy, the second winner from the SWC and the second from a Texas school. (Davey O'Brien won the award in 1938 while playing for TCU.) Walker played in a different era, playing both ways and handling kicking duties for the 9-1-1 Mustangs. The Mustangs would play in the Cotton Bowl and beat an Oregon team led by Norm Van Brocklin.
In an era of Swiss army knives, Walker was one of the best. He was second on the 1948 Mustangs in rushing yards, passing yards, and receptions. He led SMU in receiving yards, made 22 of 29 extra points, returned a punt for touchdown and intercepted 3 passes. He also punted for a 42 yard average.
Here's Walker breaking off a 70 yard touchdown run for the Mustangs. I assume the footage is just slow because otherwise I would have won the 1948 Heisman and been considered a fast twitch speedster.
Based in part on Walker's popularity, SMU moved games from Ownby stadium on campus to the Cotton Bowl which at the time seated 30,000. The Cotton Bowl became known as "the House the Doak Built."
Walker was a Highland Park grad and went on to a Hall of Fame career with the Detroit Lions. At HP Walker lettered in football, baseball, basketball, track and swimming. Walker served in the Merchant Marines as World War II wound down but was discharged early and enrolled on the Hilltop shortly thereafter.
Walker only played six seasons with the Lions, wanting to get out with "all my teeth and both my knees." Walker's selection to the Hall of Fame in Canton didn't come until 1986 and was at the request of the Old Timers Committee based on his impact on the game.
As to the 1948 Heisman campaign, Walker finished ahead of Charlie Choo Choo Justice from North Carolina and third place finisher Chuck Bednarik. Choo Choo justice played running back and gained over 4,800 all purpose yards and scored 64 touchdowns in his North Carolina career. Choo Choo has the distinction of finishing second in the Heisman twice, to Walker in '48 and to Leon Hart in 1949. Bednarik is interesting because he played offensive line and linebacker at Penn.

"Clemency" (2019)
Filmmaker Destin Cretton went to San Diego State University and was recently tapped to direct the upcoming Marvel film "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings." Currently his film "Just Mercy" is in theaters.
SDSU grad
I've had the pleasure of watching Destin Daniel Cretton grow and mature as a filmmaker since I was able to show all of his early student films at my Film School Confidential Showcase of Student Films. When "Short Term 12" came out in 2013 he credited attending Film School Confidential with leading him into filmmaking.
"That was the first time I went to a festival that had short films and Greg Durbin (a professor at SDSU) showed one of his shorts and he went up and did a Q&A afterward. And Greg was kind of the first filmmaker Lowell Frank and I reached out to when we were doing our first shorts in San Diego," Cretton recalled. "So he was our introduction to the San Diego scene there."
Cretton did his undergraduate work at Point Loma Nazarene University and then did his masters in television and film at SDSU. In watching his shorts and now features, I noticed how community always seems to play a role.
"I'm not sure if it's a conscious decision or not," Cretton said. "I mean community has always been an important theme in my life. It's part of the growing up experience in Hawaii. I think community is kind of everything there, community and family it's just part of the culture to call your friends' parents by aunty and uncle and that's the vibe of growing up on the island, that we're kind of all in this together so we might as well make the best of it."
Bryan Stevenson (Michael B. Jordan and his client Walter McMillian (Jamie Foxx) in court in the new film "Just Mercy."
'Just Mercy'
That sense of community permeates his current film, "Just Mercy." The film is based on the non-fiction book about New York lawyer Bryan Stevenson who went to Alabama to establish the Equal Justice Initiative, a human rights organization dedicated to helping the poor, the incarcerated and the condemned. The film focuses primarily on Stevenson's fight to free wrongfully convicted murderer Walter McMillian. Michael B. Jordan plays Stevenson and Jamie Foxx is McMillian — and both turn in stellar, deeply compelling performances.
But that is something Cretton has always been good at — getting real, natural performances from his cast whether it was in his short films or his features. He also has a great eye for talent having cast Brie Larson ("Captain Marvel"), Rami Malek ("Bohemian Rhapsody"), LaKeith Stanfield ("Sorry to Bother You," "Get Out"), and Kaitlyn Dever ("Booksmart") a couple years before they were on Hollywood's radar.
Cretton immediately responded to Stevenson's book when he read it and connected with the material.
"I feel like I'm constantly re-learning the lesson of, 'Don't judge a book by its cover' over and over and over in my life," Cretton said. "And when I read Bryan Stevenson's book 'Just Mercy,' that's really what he does so brilliantly throughout the book. He starts with a character that is very easy to judge and then he starts peeling off the layers of that person introducing you to how they grew up, what their family life was like, were they abused as a child, did they go to war or what. And by the end of each chapter, you now have a completely different perspective on the character and that's really what he not only does in his book that's what he does in his work. That's how he gets people off of death row who are wrongfully accused. He tells these stories and paints these pictures to judges and juries in order for them to have a really full perspective of who that person is and the judgment of them really does shift."
That's what Cretton does in the film as well. He introduces us to characters that we may think we know and then shows us their humanity. Even the white inmate who lied at McMillian's trial gets to have shadings that you did not expect him to have.
I saw "Just Mercy" right after I watched Clint Eastwood's "Richard Jewell," which is also based on a real-life case. Jewell was the security guard who discovered the bomb at the 1996 Olympics and then became the FBI's chief suspect in the case. No one deserves to go through what Jewell went through, but as he said in a press conference, he had "88 days of hell" and then he was cleared. McMillian spent decades in prison and even after evidence proved he was innocent he was still not freed or even given a new trial.
The difference between the films is in tone. Eastwood vilifies the media and the FBI and his film ends up using Jewell to make a point rather than trying to create a multidimensional character. Eastwood's film offers no enlightenment or insight and no one comes across as real, they are just archetypes.
Cretton's "Just Mercy," by contrast, tries to examine the social context of what happened to McMillian and to explore how one needs to try and address that. He doesn't vilify anyone although there are plenty of people who outrage us but no one is a caricature or flat stereotype. Cretton always tries to provide insight into why people behave the way they do.
Cretton credits the film's tone of keeping it real to Stevenson. There are no larger than life Hollywood heroics but rather the working day, unglamorous heroics of a man who dedicates his life to fighting for people who don't have a voice.
"There were certain things that he was rightfully so very protective of and one of those was really trying to show how one how easy it is for in this judicial system that we have how easy it is to lock up somebody, particularly people who are poor and don't have the legal resources that other people have, how easy it is to lock somebody up and condemn them to die in prison and how long and difficult it is to navigate the system in order to get that person out even when all of the evidence points to their innocence," Cretton said.
Filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton on the set of "Just Mercy" with actor Rob Morgan.
In depicting Stevenson's story, the film gives us a perspective that is less often seen.
"There really is a pretty intense feeling of helplessness with the African-American community and the issue of mass incarceration and what I found really emotionally moving through the book and through telling the story was seeing how when one family member is locked up how it affects the entire family and the community from which that person came from," Cretton stated. "In particular when someone is locked up or accused of a crime like this when it was very clear that that person, Walter McMillian, was in the company of 30 members of his family and his community at the time of this murder. And when a judge and jury that are primarily Caucasian look at Walter McMillian and look at that community and say, 'No, you guys are all wrong. He was on the other side of town doing this murder and whatever you all say it does not matter.' The stripping of truth from a community was something that was really eye-opening to me and the frustration that comes along with it is a real psychological battle that not only is happening to the person who is in prison but all of his loved ones who are left out outside. The way that Walter McMillian's daughter puts it, she says her dad isn't the only one on death row. They put us all on death row when they locked him up."
Directing a Marvel superhero film
Going from a socially concerned drama like "Just Mercy" or his earlier "Short Term 12" to the Marvel movie "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" seems like a big leap.
"It is a big leap, I will say that," Cretton said with a laugh. "But the process is extremely different and the same in that same breath. I mean, I think that the thing we all love about Marvel movies is they do look at and concentrate on characters who feel like humans and feel real and joke like we joke and cry like we cry and that's the thing that feels like a constant between the two."
Based on his other films, I am looking forward to seeing what Cretton brings to Marvel. In the meantime, you can find a richly rewarding and deeply human film in "Just Mercy."

Planet Solutions: How Can We Know Carbon Credits Are Actually Offsetting Emissions?
Reily Blackner
Additional contributions to this post made by Andy Anderson. Special thanks to Robert Krossa and Ben Pliska for their knowledge and expertise.
Climate talks in Glasgow last fall highlighted that many of the world's most prolific carbon producers are also the wealthiest, and less-developed countries are disproportionately feeling the impacts of climate change.
Financial inequalities between the top and bottom of the global economy have never been wider. Focus at these talks has revolved around not just offsetting and counteracting the current climate crisis but how wealthier climate offenders can begin to make reparations for the harm they've caused to vulnerable communities.
In an increasingly environmentally-conscious economy, the sale of carbon credits is rising in popularity as a method of offsetting environmental impact. However, there is little in the way of transparency and traceability to ensure that impact is truly being offset.
Here at Synapse, we've been thinking about how we, as a company, can leverage our experience to help mitigate climate change. What might we build that would increase transparency in the carbon credit market?
We've been successful at making low-energy, battery-powered devices for remote monitoring. We're also well-versed in imagining and designing how our devices fit into the context of a system.
So let's imagine a device that monitors temperature and has a Bluetooth® connection. According to the World Health Organization, nearly a third of Earth's population cooks over open fires using inefficient and polluting fuels like kerosene, biomass, and coal. A lot of those humans happen to have Bluetooth®-enabled cell phones. If we paired our imagined device with a cleaner stove alternative (like those already being produced by the company BURN), we could: monitor and record the runtime of the stove and calculate the difference in CO2 emissions (in comparison with an open fire), and add verifiable carbon credits to a marketplace.
To illustrate how this could work, we'll work backward using estimates provided by the company BURN and this paper on emission reductions by substitution of improved cookstoves. For some added context: 1 Carbon Credit = -1 Metric Tons of CO2 = -1MgCO2.
BURN claims its stove reduces CO2 by 2.3 to 3 MgCO2 compared to a traditional open pit cooking fire. For the sake of this exercise, we'll err on the conservative side and say a more efficient stove reduces CO2 at a rate of 2MgCO2/Year. Referencing carbon credit values in this article from Bloomberg, the average price of a carbon credit worldwide is roughly $20, which means every hour the stove is running, the user would produce a value of $0.00456 via a carbon credit exchange. Over a year, this generates around $40 in carbon credit value. The stove retails for $40, so it could pay for itself in a year, and the following year, it will pay for another stove for someone else or generate passive income for the user.
This is just one example of how Synapse—with an eco-conscious partner—could enable cradle-to-grave traceability to the carbon credit market, contributing in a concrete and transparent way to help address financial inequalities between the top and bottom of our global economy.

Stefan Frenkel (1902-1979) est un violoniste et compositeur américain.

Biographie
Stefan Frenkel est né à Varsovie en 1902, fils de l'homme d'affaires Adam Frenkel et de sa femme Berta. À la Hochschule für Musik de Berlin, il a étudié le violon avec Adolf Busch et Carl Flesch, et la composition avec Friedrich Koch. Il devient premier violon de l'orchestre philharmonique de Dresde en 1924. Il est le frère du chef-opérateur du son et acteur français Séverin Frankiel.

À cette époque, il donne également des concerts en tant que soliste et en musique de chambre, et interprète de la musique contemporaine dans la série de concerts organisée par le pianiste Paul Aron, la "Neue Musik Paul Aron". Il a donné les premières de la "Phantasie" pour violon et orchestre de Josef Suk, et du concerto pour violon et orchestre à vent de Kurt Weill. Il a quitté Dresde en 1926 et s'est produit comme soliste dans des salles en Allemagne, jouant des œuvres de compositeurs contemporains, y compris la première en 1929 de son propre concerto pour violon et orchestre à cordes.

À partir de 1933, dans l'Allemagne nazie, Frenkel ne peut se produire que dans des événements organisés par le Jüdische Kulturbund. Il quitte l'Allemagne en 1935 et s'installe en Suisse, où il est violon solo de l'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. L'année suivante, il s'installe aux États-Unis et devient à New York le premier violon solo du Metropolitan Opera, poste qu'il occupera jusqu'en 1940.

Il a été professeur de violon à l'Université de Princeton et, pendant les étés, il a été violon solo à l'Opéra de Rio de Janeiro et à l'Opéra de Santa Fe.

Frenkel est décédé en 1979 à son domicile de Forest Hills, Queens, New York. Il laisse derrière lui sa femme Lotte, ses enfants Sonja et Thomas, et une petite-fille.

Healthy Living: Orthopedics
Minimally Invasive Partial Knee Replacement
The knee is the largest joint in the body, and it's often affected by osteoarthritis (OA). OA causes knee pain when cartilage in the knee wears away over time and the joint can't move as easily as before. People with osteoarthritis that is confined to one section of the knee may be candidates for a minimally invasive partial knee replacement.
Anatomy of a Partial Knee Replacement
The knee is divided into three main compartments that work together:
Medial or inside part of the knee
Lateral or outside part
Patellofemoral or front of the knee between the kneecap and thighbone
A partial knee replacement is typically recommended only after other nonsurgical treatments, such as activity modification, strengthening exercises, medications, cortisone injections, or use of a cane while walking, have not been effective in providing relief for arthritis symptoms.
In partial knee replacement, only the damaged compartment is replaced with a metal and plastic implant while the healthy cartilage and bone in the rest of the knee is left in place. Before the procedure, the doctor examines the knee, tries to identify the location of the pain, and tests the knee for range of motion and ligament quality. Imaging tests, such as X-rays or magnetic resonance imaging, may be done to see the pattern of arthritis or better assess the cartilage.
Minimally Invasive Knee Surgery
In a minimally invasive partial knee replacement procedure, an incision of about three to five inches is made to allow for insertion of the knee replacement. This results in minimal damage to surrounding muscles and tendons around the knee. Compared to conventional surgery with a larger incision, benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:
Less discomfort, swelling and blood loss
Shorter hospitalization and rehabilitation
Ability to return to work sooner
During the operation, the surgeon checks all three compartments of the knee for cartilage damage and to make sure the ligaments are intact. The affected cartilage is then removed and the ends of the femur and tibia are capped with metal coverings that are held in place to the bone with cement. A plastic insert is placed between the two metal parts to ensure a smooth gliding surface.
Patients can start to put weight on their knee immediately after surgery. They usually can walk without a cane several weeks after surgery, but may need physical therapy for a few months. Not surprising, patients who are most likely to experience positive outcomes from the surgery are those who follow recommendations for rehabilitation.
Most types of exercise are allowed after surgery, including walking, swimming and biking. However, patients should avoid high-impact activities such as jogging. Patients typically experience less pain than they did before surgery and can resume most regular activities by six weeks after surgery. For more information about minimally invasive partial knee replacement, talk with your doctor.

Microheterogeneity of the growth-associated neuronal protein B-50 (GAP 43). Contribution of phosphorylation by protein kinase C
Gispen, W.H.; Schotman, P.; Nielander, H.B.; Rozen, A.J. van; Frankena, H.; Schrama, L.H.
(1989) Journal of Chromatography A, volume 483, pp. 301 - 309
The neuron-specific, growth-associated protein B-50, also known as GAP-43, F1 and neuromodulin, shows a striking heterogeneous behaviour in many chromatographic and electrophoretic systems. A modulatory function has been proposed for the protein in receptor-mediated processes in the presynaptic membrane. Fatty acid acylation, calmodulin binding and phosphorylation appear to be tools ... read more in this respect. At least three discrete isoforms were present in separations made by reversed-phase fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) of the phosphorylated protein. In anion-exchange FPLC chromatography a conglomerate of eight peaks was eluted, which migrated as eight parallel curves in electrophoretic mobility studies. After dephosphorylation of the protein this number was reduced to two. Under non-reducing conditions, the phosphoprotein was eluted from an FPLC gel filtration column at M{r} = 270 kDa, i.e. 8-12 times the size of the monomer (m = 23.6 kDa). In sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis all isoforms showed only B-50 at M{r} of 48 kDa and its breakdown product (M{r} = 40 kDa) in a constant ratio. It was concluded that phosphorylation by protein kinase C of a single serine residue is only one factor in the microheterogeneity of B-50. Multimeric forms may also add to the heterogeneous behaviour of phosphorylated B-50. show less

Q: F# equivalent of LINQ Single Ok, so for most LINQ operations there is a F# equivalent.
(Generally in the Seq module, since Seq= IEnumerable)
I can't find the equiv of IEmumerable.Single, I prefer Single over First (which is Seq.find), because it is more defensive - it asserts for me the state is what I expect.
So I see a couple of solutions (other than than using Seq.find).
(These could be written as extension methods)
The type signature for this function, which I'm calling only, is
('a->bool) -> seq<'a> -> 'a

let only =  fun predicate src -> System.Linq.Enumerable.Single<'a>(src, predicate)

let only2 = Seq.filter >> Seq.exactlyOne

only2 is preferred, however it won't compile (any clues on that?).

A: What about
let Single source f =
    let worked = ref false
    let newf = fun a ->
        match f a with
        |true ->
            if !worked = true then failwith "not single"
            worked := true
            Some(a)
        |false -> None
    let r = source |> Seq.choose newf
    Seq.nth 0 r

Very unidiomatic but probably close to optimal
EDIT:
Solution with exactlyOne
let only2 f s= (Seq.filter f s) |> exactlyOne

A: In F# 2.0, this is a solution works without enumerating the whole sequence (close to your 2nd approach):
module Seq =
    let exactlyOne seq =
        match seq |> Seq.truncate 2 with
        | s when Seq.length s = 1 -> s |> Seq.head |> Some
        | _ -> None

    let single predicate =
        Seq.filter predicate >> exactlyOne

I choose to return option type since raising exception is quite unusual in F# high-order functions.
EDIT:
In F# 3.0, as @Oxinabox mentioned in his comment, Seq.exactlyOne exists in Seq module.

Taoiseach launches Global Schools Programme
Irish diplomats and peacekeepers to visit secondary schools nationwide
An Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar TD, today visited Ringsend College in Dublin to launch the Global Schools programme, which will see Irish diplomats and peacekeepers visiting secondary schools around the country to talk to students about the Global Ireland programme and the work they do overseas. As part of the programme, each school will be presented with a UN flag and a copy of the preamble of the UN Charter.
The Global Schools programme is an element of Global Ireland, the Government's policy to double Ireland's impact in the world by 2025. Ireland's membership of the United Nations and the centrality of multilateralism to our foreign policy form an important part of Global Ireland.
The Global Schools programme will allow for a greater understanding of how UN membership has played a significant role in Ireland's history - including our contributions to peacekeeping, international development, human rights and disarmament - and how we will continue to do so in the future.
Speaking today An Taoiseach said:
"Through our diplomats, our peacekeepers, our culture and our agencies, Ireland has a huge impact internationally. We trade with countries around the globe, members of our Defence Forces help keep people safe in some of the world's most war torn regions and through more than 80 embassies and consulates we represent Ireland overseas and help Irish people no matter where they are on the planet.
"Through our ambitious Global Ireland programme, the Government is committed to doubling our footprint overseas. No nation can hope to meet the challenges facing the globe on its own or without cooperating with other countries. Migration, climate change, armed conflict and hunger do not carry passports or recognise international borders. Through the Global Ireland initiative we are expanding our presence internationally and increasing our investment and development assistance for some of the world's poorest countries.
"It is my hope that the Global Schools programme can inspire Ireland's next generation of ambassadors, peacekeepers, aid workers and diplomats. Today's secondary school students are the next generation of world leaders and I think it's really important that they learn about our work overseas, as well as Ireland's place in the world."
Vice Admiral Mark Mellett DSM, Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces said:
"Ireland has a proud history of UN service and Global Schools is a valuable initiative in helping build understanding with our young people about Ireland's international role, and our ambition to double Ireland's impact around the world through the Global Ireland programme."
Global Schools:
The Global Schools programme, which will run throughout 2019 and will be available to all second level schools, will see Irish diplomats, accompanied by members of the Defence Forces who have served with the United Nations, visiting schools across the country to meet with students to explain the Global Ireland programme and to present each school with a UN flag and a copy of the preamble of the UN Charter.
Global Ireland:
'Global Ireland – Ireland's Global Footprint to 2025', the Government's initiative to double the scope and impact of Ireland's global footprint in the period to 2025. It represents the most ambitious renewal and expansion of Ireland's international presence ever undertaken in terms of diplomacy, culture, business, overseas aid, tourism and trade.

The jitterbug is a high energy, lively, uninhibited form of swing dance; a dance without control, full of improvisation, cutting loose and out of control.
The technical difficulties to master this kind of dancer would take time, patience and regular practice. That is what we did.Our first conversation was tense and it set the tone for future conversations.
Despite the apprehension we did continue communicating. Most of our dialogue centered around sports, golf, tennis etc. We then decided it was time to meet.
Too funny! I was up for the adventure and besides he was so damn cute! He did say he was a kid at heart; a peter pan wanna be"Never wanting to grow up. Maybe I would be his Wendy for the day and he would take me to Neverland.
Ann's incredible journey chronicles her dating in midlife after the end of a long term marriage.Her dance card has 10 guys she attempts to connect with for a long term relationship. Each date/ dancer provides her with insight into what and who will be the right fit for her in third of her life.
Her second book "The New Dance Card" Looking For Love Online will be released this Jan/ Feb 2017 She continues her search with 10 new dancers and revisits the first 10 guys that were on her first dance card. Where are they now after 8 years?

Authors Stephen King, Don Winslow Pledge $200K to Charity if White House Press Sec Holds Briefing
DO 'YOUR DAMN JOB!'

Authors Stephen King and Don Winslow pledged to donate $200,000 to charity if White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham held an hour-long formal press briefing at the White House, Deadline reports. In a Thursday tweet, Winslow wrote that he would donate $100,000 to St. Jude Children's Hospital in her name—and King said he would match Winslow's contribution. "I'll also make it $100,000. That's 200 K for charity. And all you have to do is YOUR DAMN JOB!" King wrote. Grisham, who hasn't held a press briefing since March, told CNN later Thursday that the authors should donate to charity regardless of her actions. "If you have $200,000 to play with, why not just help children because it's a good thing to do?" she said. "Donations to charity should never come with strings attached."
Winslow responded, stating that he and King—who have been Trump critics in the past—were already regular donors to charity. "Stop evading, Stephanie," Winslow tweeted. "What are you afraid of?" In a statement, Winslow also told Deadline that Grisham should quit her job "because her job is to answer those questions in the White House briefing room."
