Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports
Quick trivia: Three NBA teams currently have at least two players who have played the entirety of their careers with their team for at least a decade.
The Spurs released another exclusive deal for PtR readers who want to watch the Celtics play in San Antonio.
The first, of course, is the Spurs. Tony and Manu have 17 and 16 seasons respectively in San Antonio. Can you even imagine either of these guys in a Clippers or Celtics uniform? As it is, I always experience a strange "what is he wearing?" moment when I see either suit up for their national teams.
Then there's Nick Collison (14 seasons) and Russell Westbrook (10 seasons) for the Thunder (née Supersonics).
Can you guess who's third on the list?
San Antonio Spurs (13-7) vs. Memphis Grizzlies (7-12)
November 29, 2017 | 7:30 PM CDT
Watch: FSSW, Listen: WOAI
Spurs injuries: Kawhi Leonard (quadriceps), Derrick White (fractured right wrist)
Grizzles injuries: Mike Conley (Achilles), Chandler Parsons (right knee), Wayne Selden Jr. (right quad), Brandan Wright (groin), David Fizdale (irreconcilable differences), Mario Chalmers (ankle- questionable)
Are you lonesome tonight
An immediate effect coming into tonight's game will be the absence of David Fizdale. The former Miami Heat assistant coach got his first NBA head coaching position with Memphis in 2016. We're just at the quarter mark in the season and Coach Fiz has been given his walking papers. For now, J.B. Bickerstaff has been handed the clipboard as interim head coach. Two years ago, he was interim coach in Houston after the Rockets fired Kevin McHale. He later withdrew his name from consideration for the full-time head coaching position and has been in Memphis ever since.
Heartbreak Hotel
After the impressive 3-0 start to the season upsetting the Pelicans, Warriors, and Rockets, Memphis leveled off before going ice cold. The Grizzlies are currently on an eight-game losing streak, losing Mike Conley to an Achilles injury. Despite sporting a career-worst field goal percentage in his eleven years in Memphis, the one-time highest-paid player in the NBA makes an impact on this squad that cannot be overstated. He's currently their third-best scorer, second-best assist man, and he maintains an extremely low turnover ratio for so much time handling the ball. The starting lineup suffers greatly when Conley is unavailable, and this season the wear-and-tear is showing early.
In his absence, the Grizzlies have pulled Mario Chalmers out of mothballs. Fresh off a year of not being signed after his own Achilles injury, Chalmers is steering the ship again for the first time since March of 2016. Even his ability to play tonight has been updated to questionable due to an ankle injury. Is this the same guy even Obama clowned a few years back? Either way, his 8.7 points and 22.4% from beyond the arc aren't likely to be a formidable threat to the Spurs defense. The Grizzlies backcourt is thin with no immediate signs of beefing up before playing San Antonio twice in a row.
Don't be cruel
JaMychal Green made his way to Memphis via the D-League Austin Toros/Spurs. After a solid showing at Summer League, Green moved to Austin until Memphis called him up for a pair of 10-day contracts before signing him full time. Green started 2016 coming off the bench until their injury-laden year (28 players made the roster that year) moved him into a starting position. Although he was outmaneuvered by All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge in the first round of the playoffs, his strength, stamina, and youth (as well as ZeBo's departure) earned him a $16.4M/two-year contract. He's currently 4th in scoring and 3rd in rebounding for the ailing Grizzlies squad. But Green still lacks experience, and when Aldridge smells blood he goes to the hoop. Even the savviest of defenders prematurely leave their feet for LMA pump fakes. Expect Green's NBA indoctrination to continue as Aldridge schools him on the finer points of being a power forward:
This matchup is key to the Grizzlies' game. With the Spurs expected to win the backcourt battles, the frontcourt combination of Gasol (Marc, not Pau), Green (JaMychal, not Danny), and Tyreke Evans is essential to Memphis competing for 48 minutes.
Trivia recap: So if you haven't figured it out yet, Mike Conley is in his 11th season with the Grizzlies and Marc Gasol is in his 10th after being drafted and traded to Memphis for none other than his brother Pau. Take THAT for data.
Vegas Odds: San Antonio by 8.
Game Prediction: Spurs by 11.

Summary	 0011809: IOOD says "This spell will have no effect right now because you can't see any valid targets", but could be used speculatively.
Description	 IOOD says "This spell will have no effect right now because you can't see any valid targets", and the player must use Z not z to cast it, but the player might fire it in a direction they expect a monster to appear. I submit this should be changed to be consistent with other spells that can be used against monsters currently out of LOS.
What spells do you have in mind that behave this way? It seems pretty reasonable to me that the player should press Z to confirm they want to do something unusual.
OTR, for example, is often useful to pre-buff before monsters appear on screen, and Z is a fine way to confirm you're doing that on purpose.
Fire Storm and LRD allow casting with 'z' to attack monsters out of LOS - yes, immediately rather than at a later point in time, but that's the inherent difference between them and IOOD.
Conjure Flame and Fulminant Prism behave this way allowing them to be cast with 'z' for precisely the same reason; you think a monster is going to want to move somewhere in the future.
Perhaps this does open a can of worms since there are other spells like Meph Cloud and Freezing Cloud one could also make this argument about. (One possible distinction that could be drawn is between spells where just doing 'zx' will spend the MP, and spells where it will bring up the targeter not targetting any monsters giving the player another opportunity to reconsider).
After some personal back and forth with myself: I agree with amalloy that requiring Z to cast when monsters are not visible is the preferred behavior, and that the real bug is with Fire Storm and LRD.
I submit that is just going to cause additional annoyance for players who intended to cast the spell (especially formicids who know perfectly well where the out-of-LOS target is), perhaps even causing them to get into the habit of pressing 'Z' to their eventual detriment.
Go the other way; when starting targetting, provide the information about there being no monsters in view, no susceptible monsters in view, etc, and let that serve as the confirmation stage. Effectively in your proposal there are two confirmation steps - pressing 'Z', and then pressing 'f' at the targetter.

"Accidents happen when people try to assess their performance in the mountains with numbers."
Our society hates risk. How did you approach risk during your career?
It's very simple! I agree that we live in an era which is against risk-taking: over the last 10,000 years, human beings have tried to minimise risk in order to build our civilisation. Mountaineers do the opposite: they go their own way, acting against their instinct for self-preservation. Little by little, with millions of small steps, they master the art of going somewhere where they could die, without dying! You learn to overcome risk. When I climbed the north face of the Droites on my own, I was sure that I could handle it. Otherwise I would have died from fear. When I climbed Everest without oxygen, I had already reached similar altitudes before – it was only 800 metres more. We went there to try, step by step, but we were prepared to fail and to return. Accidents happen when people try to assess their performance in the mountains with numbers. That being said, if death was not a possibility, mountaineering would be a sport like indoor climbing. Today, 99.99% of the population is not ready to climb mountains – which is a good thing, I think – because there's a cultural issue: the tension between human nature and the nature of the mountains.
What was your experience from 1999 to 2004, when you were a Member of the European Parliament for Italy's Green Party?
Well, the European Parliament didn't have much power at the time. Every country was allowed to have the last word; today, things are better. In 2002, I was able to publish a paper on people's behaviour when encountering the mountains – it was read by Kofi Annan. Today, I feel that I can do more as a "celebrity" because respect has been lost for politicians, particularly over the last 10 years. I feel that we're all starting to understand that our planet is not big enough for 8 billion people. Efforts are being made to try to correct that but our whole system is built in a way which is difficult to change. Europe could set an example. In the end, I feel that technology will play a big role and may potentially save us.
I have always been driven by a desire to be responsible for myself. I was born in a very small valley, where morals and ethics were very strict. I wanted to free myself. In South Tyrol, with its 500,000 inhabitants, the economic situation was so limited that I didn't have any opportunities in the climbing world. I managed to earn invitations to join expeditions and I learnt to do things by myself. I invented the alpine style, with light equipment, minimum infrastructure and maximum preparation. Looking back, my difficult relationship with my father may have helped me to develop an ability to overcome any obstacles I face. Climbing a mountain is nothing more than overcoming a huge obstacle. In terms of business, I never had a manager during my career but I still explored both the North and South Poles and the Gobi Desert, before becoming a politician and creating a museum with 6 different locations. When you take full ownership of what you do, good things happen. Remember that nature is just there; it's not good or bad – it's our behaviour which determines the outcome. One of my brothers said that my motto could be "it can be done".
© Ronny Kiaulehn
In his first lives, he was the first person to climb Everest without oxygen and to reach the summit of all 14 mountains above 8,000 metres. Later, he established records crossing the North and South Poles, became a politician and created a museum with 6 different locations. Now, he's a storyteller and a guardian of nature. Interview.
What do the mountains mean to you?
They're a way of evaluating my whole being, both mentally and physically. They're somethingyou can experience, not somethingyou can measure in numbers. The only thing you can do is to carry the experience with you, emotionally. That's why I feel that the mountains should remain wild, with no infrastructure. These rocks leave people feeling small and breakable, giving them the ability to take full responsibility, to focus, to take care of details and, ultimately, to remain safe. When you see companies taking groups to the top of Everest with 100 sherpas to build a "highway" with fixed ropes, camps, oxygen, doctors and, in some cases, a guide per climber, you realise that people are no longer facing up to their individual responsibilities: bad things can happen.

Anthony Bourdain Calls the "Male-Dominated" Food Industry "Abusive" and "Cruel"
In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, the chef calls such behavior rampant in restaurants as well.
By Alesandra Dubin
The allegations against Harvey Weinstein revealed (to those who didn't already know) the prevalence of sexual harassment (and much worse) in Hollywood. But the entertainment industry is hardly alone when it comes to the existence, and longtime tolerance, of such behavior.
Anthony Bourdain, who raged against "pimp" Weinstein on Twitter after it was revealed his girlfriend Asia Argento was among the mogul's accusers, is now speaking out about the ugly realities within the food business.
Offering comment about allegations of sexual harassment made against chef John Besh's eponymous restaurant group, Bourdain said the report "disgusted" but didn't surprise him, according to People.
"Look, I know what I read in the papers and what I read in the papers is a pretty f***ing gruesome story," he told Slate. "I don't know the facts of the case or anything with the Besh company, but the fact that it's a company this size and that there was not a credible avenue, no trustworthy credible office or institution in this big company for women to report or to complain with any confidence that their complaints would be addressed, this is, it's an indictment of the system."
The chef stepped down last week after more than two dozen employees said they had been victimized when they worked at the company.
Bourdain told Slate that the food industry has always been dominated by men, and abuse is common.
"There are a lot of chefs still walking around who came up through that system," he said. "Éric Ripert talked about how he used to be that guy. Then one day he realized, look, I'm miserable and everybody working with me is miserable. This is just not f***ing working. And took a hard look at themselves. But the system itself, from the very beginning, was abusive, was male-dominated and cruel beyond imagining."
Anthony Bourdain Turns Fury on Hillary Clinton for "Shameless" Response to Harvey Weinstein Allegations
For his own part, despite his fiery disposition, Bourdain said he'd never commit — or stand for — such behavior himself. "I would do the classic, throw plates on the ground. If waiters or waitresses for that matter displeased me I would rail at the heavens, curse, scream. But I like to think I never made anyone feel uncomfortable, creeped out, or coerced, or sexualized in the workplace," he said. "I've certainly fired people, even back in the '80s: If somebody was taking their personal business out on a female employee, or creeping on an employee, they were gone. They were f***ing gone. It was just not something I could live with."

rVue, Inc. Announces Intention to Voluntarily Deregister as a Reporting Company with the SEC
October 18, 2016, 22:01 GMT
/EINPresswire.com/ -- CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - October 18, 2016) - rVue Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK: RVUE), a premier advertising technology platform for digital location video, announced that the Company intends to voluntarily deregister as a reporting company with the SEC.
Over the past several years, rVue has consistently reviewed various ways to both reduce and retain costs as it builds revenue. Over the past several months, the Company has been engaged in a study of the benefits and costs associated with being publicly traded. The decision of the Company's Board of Directors to deregister the Company's common stock was based on the consideration of several factors including the significant cost to the Company of filing periodic reports with the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the cost of complying with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in relationship with revenue.
"Given the size of rVue, low market capitalization, and the fact that its stock is thinly-traded, the Board has unanimously determined that the financial burden of continuing as a reporting company is disproportionate to any benefits of maintaining the registered status of the Company's shares," said Mark Pacchini, President and CEO. "In addition, this will allow management to focus more on sales activities that will enhance the Company's revenue stream."
Therefore, the Company today announced that it plans to voluntarily withdraw its common stock from registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), on or about November 9, 2016, thus terminating the Company's status as a public reporting company and suspending its obligation to file periodic reports, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K with the SEC.
The Company's periodic reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will be suspended prior to November 14, 2016 (the date the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 would have otherwise been due.)
Additional information can be found on the Company's Form 8-K filed with the SEC today.
About rVue
rVue Holdings, Inc. is an advertising technology company providing the digital distribution platform for the Digital Place-Based Advertising industry. The Company connects approximately one million digital screens across 175 networks delivering access to 250 million daily impressions in one simple platform.

B.B. King: The Life of Riley (May 27th at Tower City Cinemas)
[B. B. KING: THE LIFE OF RILEY screens Tuesday May 27th at 7:30 pm at Tower City Cinemas - 1 showing only!.]
Review by Pete Roche
We've all seen pauper-to-prince tales of rock and roll glory depicted in documentaries and concert films on the big screen, but few guitarists boast more humble beginnings than B.B. King.
Born in 1948 in a rickety plantation cabin outside Berclair, Mississippi, the man now known as The King of Blues first had to overcome poverty and racism before conquering the world with his booming voice and signature guitar style. Now, for the first time ever, B.B. gets the "behind the music" treatment in a new film by director Jon Brewer, who helmed similar features about British rockers like Yes and Moody Blues.
Narrated by The Electric Company's uber-cool "Easy Reader" Morgan Freeman, the biopic traces the life of the man born Riley B. King from humble beginnings in a segregated post-war South to his domination in both blues and pop music. Struggle, survival, and salvation emerge as recurring themes as Brewer calls on eyewitness testimony from B.B.'s friends, family members, and former band mates about the oppression the entertainer faced coming up in an America where blacks and whites just didn't mix. Also chiming in are dozens of white rockers who attest to King's brilliance and note how second-generation musicians in the United States got received their first blues lessons vis-à-vis their British counterparts in the 1960's.
Complementing Freeman's discourse and B.B.'s first-hand accounts are a slew of old images, archive footage, and sepia-tone recreations of young Riley's days growing up in the Delta. We learn how the boy shuffled from one shack to the next under his grandmother's care, and how he toiled six days a week (for eighteen long years) plowing fields and picking cotton on Cartledge Farm. He gravitated toward music as a church choirboy, taking to heart Professor Luther H. Henson's lessons on treating one's body like a temple. And when a benevolent boss fronted the $15.00 needed to purchase his first guitar, B.B. dutifully paid the money back.
After spending some time with his father (who called him "Jack") and his step-siblings, B.B. started busking in town on Saturday nights, earning the nickname "Blues Boy." Undeterred by naysayers, he frequently entered talent contests in hopes of winning the $1 cash prize, which would get him through the week.
Sisters and second cousins report that the guitarist never held racism's institutionalism against any one white man. Despite having seen a lynching himself, B.B. was blessed by having a black "rider" supervise his work on the farms. And when a freak tractor accident prompted flight to Memphis, B.B. eventually returned "with his tail between his legs" to his white employer, who forgave him.
B.B. makes a name for himself as a singer and guitarist in the Famous St. John's Gospel Singers and tested his first marriage to Martha King with his tour schedule. In a stroke of luck, he played a gig originally meant for Sonny Boy Williamson—who encouraged him to get a job in radio. While working as a disc jockey at the black-operated WDIA, B.B. cut his first jingle for Pep-Ti-Kon tonic and sharpened his skills in Robert Lockwood Jr.'s band. A fortuitous arrangement between Nashville's Bullet Records and Chicago's famous Chess label enabled B.B. to record his first single, "3 O'Clock Blues."
The middle of the film follows B.B. and friends on the "chitlin circuit" in a custom bus. B.B.'s record deal afforded new equipment and guitars—one of which King nicknamed "Lucille," after the woman who prompted an incendiary bar fight between two men (who died in the blaze). B.B. couldn't quite master the slide guitar technique practiced by his heroes, but his efforts lent his notes a distinct twang. That trebly vibrato would define B.B.'s sound, and the cast of rockers appearing in the film repeatedly swear they can identify B.B. after hearing "just one note."
As the '50s give way to the '60s, B.B. is nearly killed in a Birmingham hotel bombing meant for Dr. Martin Luther King. His band often eats boxed lunches on the bus because they're not allowed inside most restaurants. One failed marriage gives way to the next, with King making a tour stop in Detroit so Reverend Franklin (Aretha's father) could officiate (then, on to Cleveland!). In hindsight, B.B. recognizes women—the "angels of the Earth"—as his kryptonite:
"I've been called a womanizer and other things," he reflects. "I guess most of it is true."
Unable to fork up the $25,000 needed to keep the burgeoning star on his label, entrepreneur Joe Bihari loses B.B. to ABC Paramount, where he tracks his first successful albums. Before long, young white boys across the pond are singing the praises of the guys who inspired B.B.—bluesmen like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf—and reinterpret their 12-bar brilliance in an amplified rock context.
"Freddie King inspired Eric Clapton, Albert King inspired Mick Taylor, and B.B. King inspired Peter Green," says Bluesbreakers founder John Mayall.
Receiving an unexpected push from the likes of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin, B.B. and his black contemporaries are suddenly able to play in swanky venues for predominantly white audiences. Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman recounts telling a U.S. taxi driver to take the band into "bad" neighborhoods just so they could snatch up the blues records they'd been missing out on back home.
Sensing magic in the air, producer Bill Szymczyk convinced B.B. to record a couple albums with a studio band, and then took the unprecedented step of adding orchestral strings on the finished product. "The Thrill Is Gone" thrust B.B. squarely into the mainstream—and he's been touring even since.
The film leapfrogs through the '70s, '80s, and '90s, glossing over highlights like London sessions (with Ringo Starr and Joe Sample) and a tour with U2 (behind their "When Love Comes to Town" collaboration) simply because there's too much ground for Brewer (or anyone) to cover in a single film. Irish superstar Bono confesses he felt "like a girl" singing alongside beefy B.B., and that the more U2 tried emulating the bluesman, the less convincing they were.
The bevvy of notable commentators includes Joe Walsh, Carlos Santana, Peter Green, Walter Trout, Bonnie Raitt, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Jonny Lang, George Benson, Buddy Guy, John Mayer, Joe Bonamassa, Johnny Winter, Bruce Wilis (!?), Keith Richards, Mick Taylor, and Eric Clapton—with whom B.B. recorded in 2000. We check in on major concert events and special appearances at Royal Albert Hall and The White House, watch as B.B. gifts a guitar to the Holy Pontiff, and tag along for an annual "homecoming" at Indianola, Mississippi, where The B.B. King Museum now stands. We get the business end from managers and accountants, but the heart and soul of the film derives from talk of B.B.'s nine-decade journey, from shanty digs and a broken bicycle to silk suits and global recognition—Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honors, and multiple Grammy nods.
The vicarious lessons and total immersion into the man behind the music make LIFE OF RILEY a must-see documentary for all blues aficionados and self-respecting rock connoisseurs.

ESTATE OF MANUEL DIAZ; GENEVIEVE HUIZAR, an individual, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. CITY OF ANAHEIM, a California municipal entity; NICK BENNALLACK, Officer, Defendants-Appellees.
Before: Marsha S. Berzon and John B. Owens, Circuit Judges, and Algenon L. Marbley,* District Judge. COUNSEL Dale K. Galipo (argued) and Melanie T. Partow, Law Offices of Dale K. Galipo, Woodland Hills, California; Angel Carrazco, Jr., Carrazco Law, A.P.C., Tustin, California; Paul L. Hoffman, Schonbrun Desimone Seplow Harris & Hoffman, LLP, Venice, California; Humberto Guizar, Humberto Guizar Law Offices, Montebello, California; for Plaintiffs-Appellants. Moses W. Johnson, IV (argued), Assistant City Attorney, Anaheim, California; Steven J. Rothans and Jill Williams, Carpenter, Rothans & Dumont, Los Angeles, California; for Defendants-Appellants. Denise L. Rocawich, James R. Touchstone, and Martin J. Mayer, Jones & Mayer, Fullerton, California, for Amici Curiae California Police Chiefs' Association, California State Sheriffs' Association, and California Peace Officers' Association. Steven J. Renick, Manning & Kass Ellrod Ramirez Trester LLP, Los Angeles, California, for Amicus Curiae International Municipal Lawyers Association.
The panel reversed the district court's judgment, entered following a jury trial in favor of defendants, in an action alleging that a City of Anaheim police officer used excessive force when he shot and killed Manuel Diaz.
The panel held that the district court erred by refusing to bifurcate the liability phase from the compensatory damages phase of the trial and as a result the district court admitted inflammatory evidence introduced by the defendants that had no relevance to the key issue in the case, whether defendant acted within the law when he shot Diaz.
The panel remanded for a new trial with guidance for the district court to: (1) closely review under Federal Rule of Evidence 401 and 403 evidence of Diaz's drug and gang affiliation and admit the evidence only to the degree that it was connected to the reaction of Diaz's mother to his death; (2) not permit expert testimony about gangs to be admitted if plaintiffs are willing to stipulate that Diaz was a gang member; (3) sufficiently consider that a limiting instruction may not sufficiently mitigate the prejudicial impact of certain evidence; and (4) when striking testimony, to clearly identify what testimony was improperly given, and instruct the jury that it may not be considered.
The panel affirmed the district court's denial of plaintiffs' motion for judgment as a matter of law on the excessive force claim, holding that this question was one for the jury. The panel noted that while plaintiffs presented substantial evidence that the force was unreasonable, defendants also presented substantial evidence to support their position.
The opinion filed on August 24, 2016, and reported at 2016 WL 4446114, is hereby amended. The superseding amended opinion will be filed concurrently with this order.
The panel has voted to deny the petition for panel rehearing. Judges Berzon and Owens voted to deny the petition for rehearing en banc, and Judge Marbley so recommends.
The full court has been advised of the suggestion for rehearing en banc, and no active judge has requested a vote on whether to rehear the matter en banc. Fed. R. App. P. 35.
The petition for panel rehearing and rehearing en banc is DENIED.
No further petitions for panel rehearing or petitions for rehearing en banc will be entertained.
As Diaz started to turn, Bennallack claimed to see a black cloth object going over a fence close to Diaz . Bennallack said that he believed Diaz had a gun in a "low-ready" position in front of his body, ready to fire. According to Bennallack, as Diaz turned and Bennallack saw the object in the air, he fired twice. When Bennallack shot Diaz, he could not see any part of his arms or hands. The shots occurred within one to two seconds after Diaz started to slow down; Bennallack made no lethal force warning. The first bullet entered Diaz's right buttock and was lodged in his left thigh. The second bullet entered the right side of Diaz's head, just above and behind his right ear, and exited the left side of his head near his left ear. Diaz was handcuffed and searched. He died shortly thereafter at a nearby hospital. Officers found a black cell phone and narcotics pipe nearby. No firearm was recovered from the scene.
Second, if Plaintiffs are willing to stipulate that Diaz was a gang member (which they claim they tried to do during trial), no expert testimony about gangs—such as gang activities, tattoos, or monikers—should be admitted. Bennallack can certainly testify as to his knowledge about gang activity in the area. See Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386, 397 (1989) (holding that to determine whether police force is excessive, the proper inquiry is "whether the officers' actions are 'objectively reasonable' in light of the facts and circumstances confronting them").
"We review de novo the district court's denial of a Rule 50(b) renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law. The test is whether 'the evidence, construed in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, permits only one reasonable conclusion, and that conclusion is contrary to that of the jury.' " White v. Ford Motor Co., 312 F.3d 998, 1010 (9th Cir. 2002), amended on denial of reh'g, 335 F.3d 833 (9th Cir. 2003) (footnote omitted) (quoting Forrett v. Richardson, 112 F.3d 416, 419 (9th Cir. 1997)). We "may not make credibility determinations or weigh the evidence." Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Prods., Inc., 530 U.S. 133, 150 (2000).
Where an "excessive force claim arises in the context of an arrest or investigatory stop of a free citizen, it is most properly characterized as one invoking the protections of the Fourth Amendment." Graham, 490 U.S. at 394. As with other Fourth Amendment claims, we inquire "whether the officers' actions are 'objectively reasonable' in light of the facts and circumstances confronting them, without regard to their underlying intent or motivation." Id. at 397.
We determine whether challenged state actions are objectively reasonable by balancing " 'the nature and quality of the intrusion on the individual's Fourth Amendment interests' against the countervailing governmental interests at stake." Id. at 396 (quoting Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1, 8 (1985)). This demands a "fact-intensive inquiry requiring attention to all circumstances pertinent to the need for the force used." Velazquez, 793 F.3d at 1024. We "first consider[ ] the nature and quality of the alleged intrusion; we then consider the governmental interests at stake by looking at (1) how severe the crime at issue is, (2) whether the suspect posed an immediate threat to the safety of the officers or others, and (3) whether the suspect was actively resisting arrest or attempting to evade arrest by flight." Mattos v. Agarano, 661 F.3d 433, 441 (9th Cir. 2011) (en banc) (citing Deorle v. Rutherford, 272 F.3d 1272, 1279–80 (9th Cir. 2001)). These factors are not exclusive. Id.
11. In urging en banc review, amici curiae California Police Chiefs' Association et al. argue that our decision conflicts with Boyd, which upheld a district court's decision to admit drug usage evidence to corroborate the police officers' testimony that the decedent was acting erratically. Boyd, 576 F.3d at 943–45. Yet here, the district court exercised its discretion and prohibited the introduction of Diaz's drug use for liability purposes because there was no evidence that Diaz was acting erratically. See supra at 9. Diaz's drug usage was only admissible to undermine any damages award. See supra at 14–17. The officers did not appeal that ruling, and do not cite Boyd as an alternative means to affirm the judgment. Simply put, the Boyd argument that amici now raise is not an issue in this appeal.
12. In light of our ruling, we do not reach the issue of whether Plaintiffs' failure to make a Rule 50(a) motion as to the unlawful detention claim barred review of the district court's dismissal of that claim sua sponte before the close of evidence. We do observe, however, that requiring a litigant to make a Rule 50(a) motion for judgment as a matter of law on a claim no longer before the jury appears, at first blush, futile. See Velazquez v. City of Long Beach, 793 F.3d 1010, 1018 (9th Cir. 2015) ("A motion for judgment as a matter of law may be granted if 'the court finds that a reasonable jury would not have a legally sufficient evidentiary basis to find for the party on that issue[.]' " (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 50(a))). We also do not reach whether Plaintiffs are entitled to a new trial under Rule 59(a) based on the district court's evidentiary rulings or formulation of jury instructions.
13. See, e.g., Barnett v. Norman, 782 F.3d 417, 422–23 (9th Cir. 2015) (outlining powers of district judge to ensure witness complies with court order); United States v. Panza, 612 F.2d 432, 439 (9th Cir. 1979) ("We can only speculate as to the effect on the jury of the striking of the testimony." (citing United States v. Cardillo, 316 F.2d 606, 612 n.3 (2d Cir. 1963)); Cardillo, 316 F.2d at 612 n.3 ("The effectiveness of such procedures after the testimony has been heard by the jury has been the subject of speculation, metaphysical and otherwise, by jurists and trial lawyers for generations.").
14. Cf. United States v. McKoy, 771 F.2d 1207, 1213 (9th Cir. 1985) ("We have often noted that the trial court may be able to 'neutralize' the effect of improper prosecutorial remarks by admonishing counsel to refrain from such remarks or by giving appropriate curative instructions to the jury.").


When Mr David Koh graduates from law school, he would earn - as a fresh lawyer - just a fraction of what he used to draw as a ventures manager at oil and gas firm Shell.
At 49, he is also among the older students at the Singapore Management University's (SMU) juris doctor (JD) programme, which has an average student age of 29.
On why he is giving up a well-paying job, Mr Koh said: "It's motivated by an interest to go back to the university - it's in some sense to fulfil an earlier wish that had been set aside for too many years. The motivation is not income.
"In many ways, that 20 years of work has been fulfilling, but it reached a point where I didn't think it could go any further. It was time to do what I truly wanted."
He joined the two-to three-year programme in 2015 and is currently in the third year of study. His first degree was in electrical engineering in 1993, adding a master's in business administration in 2003.
Having practical work experience matters in being a better lawyer, Mr Koh believes.
"If you know economics, business, some engineering - it adds that insight and understanding of what the client wants."
SMU's JD programme, which is a postgraduate course that is done after a bachelor's degree in some other discipline, has 95 students today. The average work experience of the students is four years.
One challenge Mr Koh faced as a married man with two children, aged 14 and 20, is having to juggle school and family commitments. His daughter is also studying in SMU.
Mr Koh said that while expanding the JD programme might be a good idea, how to make full use of these graduates with such diverse experience is something both the private and public sectors need to consider.
Nevertheless, he hopes to spend at least two to three years as a fresh lawyer in a law firm, to "get a flavour" of litigation and court-related work.
"I won't say forever because I can't predict the future, but to the extent that it remains exciting and interesting, why not?" added Mr Koh.

About South Loop Elementary School
South Loop Elementary School is a dynamic and diverse school in the heart of Chicago. Our school thrives on a leadership culture to encourage exploration, inquiry, and learning within a supportive and growing community.
The inspirational success of South Loop Elementary is due to the involvement and passion of our students, teachers, staff, parents, and community. As we continue to build into our school and community, our mission and vision guide our way.
CPS SCHOOL RATING
N/A (covid)
Good Standing
COUNTRIES REPRESENTED
Our mission is to prepare every student at South Loop School to develop 21st Century life skills by providing a standards-based curriculum that fosters student leadership, academic rigor, fine arts integration, social and emotional consciousness, and an understanding and acceptance of diverse cultures in an inclusive environment.
We envision a school climate that embraces our diversity, where every child can succeed academically and artistically.
We envision our graduates taking ownership of their learning, investing in their communities, and achieving success in a global society.
In the 1980s, more families began to move into the South Loop neighborhood and an increased need for city services arose. This new community of families encouraged the Chicago Public School system to develop a neighborhood school, and by 1988, South Loop Elementary School opened its doors at 1212 South Plymouth Court.
By 2000, a group of committed neighbors and parents set out to make South Loop Elementary School the school of choice for the neighborhood. A new council was elected, a new principal selected, and the programming was expanded to include a tuition-based preschool program, a selective enrollment gifted program and an after-school program.
The new administration revamped the curriculum to create a more challenging standards-based academic environment, improved student enrichment with better access to arts and service activities, and enhanced extended day programming. With these academic refinements yielding year-over-year increases in test scores and parent satisfaction, our school has become a source of pride for the neighborhood and community.
At South Loop Elementary School, we strive to embody South Loop Lion PRIDE, which reflects these core values:
Positive.
Respectful.
Inclusive.
Determined.
These values provide the framework to encourage and support our academic and social development as a community.
South Loop Lion PRIDE is demonstrated through the South Loop Way and Leader in Me culture.
The South Loop Way
South Loop Students commit to:
Be Safe: We will be strong and make good decisions to keep ourselves and our classmates safe. We will keep our bodies strong through exercise and eating right.
Be Responsible: We will be responsible leaders by doing the right thing, setting a good example, and helping those less fortunate than ourselves.
Be Respectful: We will show respect for ourselves and each other by displaying pride in who we are and our accomplishments, as well as taking pride in the accomplishments of our classmates and our school.
South Loop School embraces The Leader in Me model to cultivate leadership and life skills in students and to create a culture of empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader.
A leadership culture reinforces every member's capabilities and encourages exploration, inquiry, technology infusion, project-based learning, and experimentation within a safe and secure environment. One of the founding principles of this culture is for students to find their voice, and to help others find theirs. Once students find their voice, they are inspired and motivated.
The following 7 Habits lay the foundation:
Habit 1 – Be Proactive: You're in Charge.
Habit 2 – Begin with the End in Mind: Have a Plan.
Habit 3 – Put First Things First: Work First, Then Play.
Habit 4 – Think Win-Win: Everyone Can Win.
Habit 5 – Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood: Listen Before You Talk.
Habit 6 – Synergize: Together is Better.
Habit 7 – Sharpen the Saw: Balance Feels Best.

Section 24(3) of the National Environmental Management Act allows the Minister or MEC to prepare a draft Environmental Management Framework (EMF) which identifies the geographical area to which it applies, including the sensitivity, extent, interrelationship and significance of such attributes which must be taken into account by every competent authority.
Upon receiving any representations, objections and comments, review the draft accordingly.
If the Minister or MEC adopts an Environmental Management Framework, applications for environmental authorisation in or affecting the geographical area to which the framework applies must be considered.
Once an Environmental Management Framework has been finalised, it does not have the power of law although it is used to inform the decision-making process of competent authorities.
Pre-authorisation consideration: The Environmental Management Framework informs the competent authority on whether or not to grant an environmental authorisation. Where an Environmental Management Framework clearly carries proof of the ecological sensitivity of an area, it is a policy which can inform the decision-making process of the competent authority to refuse an environmental authorisation. This can particularly be useful for the protection of water source areas.
Not legislation: The Environmental Management Framework is only a policy document and not legislation. In the Magaliesberg Protection Association case, it was found that a competent authority's failure to consider an Environmental Management Framework would not render his/her decision invalid where he/she considered another document that presents similar information, such as an environmental assessment report.
Seldom considered by the Department of Mineral Resources when granting mining rights: Although it should inform the decision-making process of officials who wish to develop any land included in an Environmental Management Framework , the Department of Mineral Resources seldom takes this into consideration.

Home Kathy Gyngell Kathy Gyngell: France combats jihadists worldwide. It deserves gratitude not blame
Kathy Gyngell: France combats jihadists worldwide. It deserves gratitude not blame
Horror, shock and revulsion. No one, no, not even Jeremy Corbyn's most crazed supporters, can have learnt of the murderous, bloody, brutal and insane attacks in Paris without feeling sickened to the core.
Within hours, however, copy was appearing that while not vindicating the extremist terrorists is doing its best to 'explain' them. By 3.50 am GMT 14th November Hilary Alexander had penned this for The Daily Telegraph: Paris attacks: why has France been targeted again?
I fear we can expect plenty more of such analysis over the weekend.
Her commentary is persuasive and exactly what Telegraph readers have gradually been brainwashed into expecting. "Every Western capital knows that Islamist extremists would love to strike a blow at its heart but few are so tantalising a target as Paris". Why? is the tenor of her piece.
Her answer is that: "France fights jihadists worldwide; has one of the largest Muslim populations in Europe – and arguably the most divided society. It also has a steady stream of guns pouring in from across continental Europe's porous borders. It is a potent, explosive mix – as shown by the Charlie Hebdo attacks of January, and now the Paris shootings.
"Indeed", she continues, "France takes pride in its proactive stance against Islamists worldwide, especially in the face of what is frequently seen as British and American retreat. Over 10,000 French troops are currently deployed abroad – over 3,000 in Western Africa, 2,000 in Central, and 3,200 in Iraq.
"French intervention in Mali, against al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, in 2013 was seen as pivotal in the weakening of the jihadi group. A fortnight ago a leader of an AQIM affiliate urged his followers to attack France in retaliation for their presence in the region.
"And last week President Francois Hollande announced that France will deploy an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf to assist the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), setting him on a collision course with the Islamist leaders."
So what should they expect? Yet she gives no explanation or justification of the need for this French foreign policy. She is, of course, wonderfully dispassionate.
But now we come to the crux of her text. The key problem is not actually this one. It is an internal one: "The feelings of isolation and exclusion can be overwhelming (for Muslims in France), with few high profile Muslim role models in business or politics. France's stridently secular state, the banning of the burka and the power of the Front National have not helped to ease tensions between communities."
Yes, go on blame the National Front while we are at it – after all no decent liberal can possibly be allowed to question the fact or effect of mass migration on another culture.
In true liberal vogue, Ms Alexander predictably goes on to portray former and now imprisoned terrorists as victims: "Mohamed Merah, the Toulouse shooter of 2012, grew up in a tough banlieu, began as a small-time delinquent, was sent to prison, and emerged a hardened jihadi with "meaning" in life".
And who's to blame again? Not Mr Merah for his murderous activities, but the French for not giving him a nice house and upbringing and then having the temerity to imprison him when he shot a dozen people, seven fatally.
This is the classic liberal narrative – we only have ourselves to blame. Maybe, it is true. Not, I would venture, through for being over punitive but rather for unthinkingly allowing uncontrolled migration in the first place, without a formal and planned process of integration. This should have been based on a calculation of what the host countries could sensibly manage and an insistence that new arrivals understood that their asylum or citizenship depended on their respecting the rule of law and the institutions of their new abodes.
This is not, I fear, what Alexander means. France, she intimates, is actively hostile to Muslims – it does not have an enlightened multicultural stance as we do here in the UK:
"Inside France's prisons, 70 per cent of the inmates are estimated to be Muslims – by law, France cannot ask a person to state their religion, so official data is unavailable. In England and Wales, by comparison, Muslims account for 14 per cent of the prison population, according to Home Office statistics, and five per cent of the population nationwide."
I am pretty dubious about such bandied about estimates. They remind me of those stats that tell us United States prisons are bursting to the seams with otherwise innocent cannabis offenders, but which, when unpicked, reveal true number to be fewer than 2 per cent.
France too, she reports, is struggling with radicalisation (as though we were not too) behind bars, and unlike the UK does not allow imams to visit the cells. Well, I would think the jury is out on the virtues or otherwise of that one.
It is not just the subtext that reads that France only has itself to blame. It is overt. The only additional explanation of 'why France?' is a brief nod to the leaky borders with Belgium, from where the terrorists easily source unlimited stashes of illegal arms.
I only hope that her deduction (true or false) that Britain is less likely to be targeted than France proves true. But what I find deeply disturbing is 'the lesson' politicians and we will be encouraged to take from the terrible atrocity in Paris. It is this that our policy towards Muslims and terrorists alike should be more placatory – less critical of their culture and religion and what is disconsonant with Judeo-Christian culture and the western democratic systems it has given rise to – namely our hard won liberty .
It would be a dangerous route to follow when opinion polling has revealed that possibly up to 40 per cent of Muslims want sharia law in the UK and a startling 27 per cent of Muslims living here sympathised with the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack.
In the wake of this last atrocity, I think the message to Muslim communities in Europe has to be clear and unambiguous – even at risk of offending them. They cannot accept the hospitality of their host country and then abuse the freedoms they are allowed in them. If they do abuse them, then they must expect the sanctions of the law to follow. There are no excuses, whether they be our foreign policy or their experience of growing up in their countries of adoption.
For the many moderate and law abiding Muslims, such clarity would leave them feeling much safer and perhaps more appreciative of the rule of law and democracy that makes Western Europe the haven they originally sought.

Dockers Clause takes effect amid shipping companies' last-ditch protests
A docker lashes a container in Rotterdam. The new 'dockers clause' agreement applies to all ITF approved agreements and took effect worldwide in January 2020 after being signed in February 2018 by workers' and employers' representatives from the ITF and IMEC. Image: Danny Cornelisson - Wikimedia Commons.
Efforts by European feeder and shortsea shipping companies to challenge the new 'Dockers Clause' that came into effect at the beginning of 2020 have been condemned by unions, which have set up an international legal taskforce to ensure the clause is globally implemented.
The new agreement was signed in February 2018 by workers' and employers' representatives from the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) and the International Maritime Employers' Council (IMEC). It applies to all ITF approved agreements and took effect worldwide in the same month, with two exceptions: Europe and Canada, which were given until 1 January 2020 to prepare for the new rules.
'Despite this generous arrangement, some companies have refused to uphold the Dockers' Clause,' ITF said. 'Instead of contracting lashing companies, they waited until the clause entered into effect and now claim that enforcement is impossible.'
Dockers unions, shop stewards and legal advisors from ten countries gathered in Rotterdam in early January to reaffirm commitment to the Dockers Clause and create an international team of legal advisors to challenge companies that do not comply.
ITF Dockers' section second vice chair Niek Stam said: 'Trade unions are supporting the new Dockers' Clause and are ready and willing to defend it. A deal is a deal, and a signature is legally binding.'
Nautilus general secretary Mark Dickinson said: 'Seafarers can already be required to work up to 91 hours a week – often leaving them fatigued, stressed and putting pressure on their mental health. To also require them to do work which should only be undertaken by trained and experienced dockers puts them at great risk.'

The Generic Names Supporting Organization isn't dead after all.
ICANN's Board Governance Committee has retracted a document related to new gTLD trademark protections that some on the GNSO Council believed spelled the end of the multistakeholder model as we know it.
The BGC, in rejecting a formal Reconsideration Request related to the "Trademark+50" mechanism, had used a rationale that some said was overly confrontational, legalistic and gave ICANN staff the ability to ignore community input more or less at will.
We reported on the issue in considerable detail here.
The committee on Friday retracted the original rationale, replacing it with one (pdf) that, while still containing some of the flawed reasoning DI noted last month, seems to have appeased the GNSO Council.
The BGC did not change its ultimate decision — the Reconsideration Request has still been rejected and Trademark+50 is still being implemented in the new gTLD program.


You can do a UK people search with the websites I recommend here. There are professional public record companies behind them so it should be no problem.
Are you experiencing a bit of nostalgia and feel a burning desire to locate someone from your past?
Did somebody you know move to London, Birmingham or Leeds a long time ago?
Maybe you used to write to them but now you have lost the address?
The internet has evolved so much over the years that it is so easy to locate someone by doing a people search in the UK.
- tracing and digging out bits and pieces of information on anyone.
There are many online resources you can use, no matter where in Great Britain they may be hiding.
Did you know that there are often details on some of us online simply because we have purchased a cell phone at one point in time or signed up for cable services or utilities?
The trace websites check the electoral rolls when looking for your lost family, classmates or friends.
They also search through birth and death records.
Marriage records too if I have understood it right.
On the following pages I write about three different websites, all very good in their own ways!
1 A reputable, low cost and easy to use England People Search engine.
2 Find someone UK with this site where you can locate someone but also do family history research. I also talk about how to find love in England on that page!
If you have time, please return to this website in the future and let me and everyone that comes here know how you eventually were able to locate the lost one! It will help us learn what works and what doesn't!
More UK people finder information on the next page.
Some time ago something funny happened at a concert, that made me think about this website.
It was a pretty big concert, with 6000 people in the audience.
The host of the concert said she had been in love with one guy in the late 80's and they had met there at that same concert hall, but she has lost touch with him.
So she shouted: "Robert Berg, are you in the audience?". It was all quiet. Then she shouted "Is there anyone here who has a friend, brother or father named Robert Berg?".
Many people put up their hands and shouted "Yeee!". Probably they were just joking, but of course I can't know for sure, maybe one of them really knew someone with that name.
See the UK address finder page to get someone's address. Writing to each other might be a good start if you have not met the person for years.
By the way, here is some extra free people finder UK advice.


Mattel lost it's line for Marvel and Disney properties. It approached WB and DC to make its own line of toys. Their answer. Copy Monster High.
For long time fans of the comics it's just fascinating to see super-villains who've down right murdered people horribly get turned into lovable dolls for young girls.
One point by fans will be that many of the women Mattel is calling heroes are the exact opposite. Poison Ivy and Harlequin murder people. The other sad joke is they ran out of DC super heroes that were women really fast.With that is the complex stories that created them forgotten to sell toys.
It tell us that DC, Mattel, and WB don't think girls can understand heroism beyond putting on pretty dresses and high school drama.
In the same vein, Attack on Titan just got a high school anime.
It's hands down one of the easiest and laziest things to do with a product to milk it for more money.
-From a marketing standpoint that name is not catchy at all. DC Super Hero Girls, that rolls right off the tongue.
-I hope it fails miserably this holiday season.
When are we going to have DC Super Gal babies?

What makes the perfect whisky? The secret doesn't evade The Dalmore, a distillery founded on the shores of Cromarty Firth in 1867 by descendants of the Mackenzie Clan. It's all in the care and the casks, something that Master Distiller of over 50 years Richard Paterson is a true authority on; it was he who hand-selected the rare vessels that house The Dalmore's Single Malt Scotch Whisky, the same that once held 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso sherry. These sacred casks enhance varieties such as The Dalmore 12 and King Alexander whisky with rich, nutty characteristics against signature orange and chocolate notes. Combine this with carefully monitored conditions, aided by the bitterly cold winters of the Scottish Highlands, and you have, quite simply, one of the finest Scotch whiskies money can buy.
Alness, Scotland
The Distillery
The spectacular coastal surroundings of the Cromarty Firth has formed a perfect home for The Dalmore since 1839, set in the beautiful Scottish highland location of Alness. In this quiet corner of the world, a wealth of rare and aged whiskies rests in waiting.
180 Years of Craft
Over 180 years, The Dalmore has honed a perfect craft, rooted in the sanctity of the cask. Beginning with the careful selection of the cask, every drop is created with a true reverence for the art of Scotch whisky, with an elegance and refinement to entice new and seasoned whisky lovers alike.
Richard Paterson
The Master Distiller
After more than 50 years at the helm, Richard Paterson has established one of the most legendary tenures in Scottish whisky history. A pioneer in the art of cask curation, the Master Distiller's relentless pursuit of excellence mirrors the timeless essence of The Dalmore – an expertise like no other.
The Art of Maturation
Truly special Single Malt Whisky is a product of patience and time. The Dalmore's exceptionally collectible aged masterpieces are the ultimate embodiment of the distillery's dedication to exquisite whisky.

The head of a Chinese toy manufacturing company at the center of a huge U.S. recall has committed suicide, a state-run newspaper said Monday.
Zhang Shuhong, who ran the Lee Der Industrial Co. Ltd., killed himself at a warehouse over the weekend, days after China announced it had temporarily banned exports by the company, the Southern Metropolis Daily said.
The newspaper said that a supplier, Zhang's best friend, sold Lee Der fake paint that was used in the toys.
The recall by El Segundo, Calif.-based Mattel came just two months after RC2 Corp., a New York company, recalled 1.5 million Chinese-made wooden railroad toys and set parts from its Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway product line because of lead paint.
The maker, Hansheng Wood Products Factory, also was included in the export ban announced Thursday by the General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, one of China's quality watchdogs.

340 Forgotten Women of Literature 5 – Constance Fenimore Woolson
When she died tragically at the age of 53, Constance Fenimore Woolson was ranked with the greatest female writers of all time, including Jane Austen, George Eliot, and the Brontes. What happened to her reputation after that? Did her friend Henry James sink her reputation as an author and a person? In this episode, Jacke takes a look at the hugely successful (and now often overlooked) nineteenth-century American author Constance Fenimore Woolson.

190 Blood and Sympathy in the 19th Century (with Professor Ann Kibbie)
"England may with justice claim to be the native land of transfusion," wrote one European physician in 1877, acknowledging Great Britain's role in developing and promoting human-to-human transfusion as treatment for life-threatening blood loss. But what did this scientific practice mean for literature? How did it excite the imagination of authors and readers? And how does our understanding of transfusion help us to understand our own reading of historical and contemporary scientific advancements?
In today's episode, Jacke talks to Professor Ann Kibbie of Bowdoin College about her new book, Transfusion: Blood and Sympathy in the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination, which examines the scientific and literary treatment of the nineteenth-century practice of transfusion, including the way transfusion seeped into the works of authors like George Eliot, Adam Smith, and Bram Stoker, whose Dracula stands as a culmination of the practice of transfusion and the elemental feelings it arouses.

184 George Eliot
Perhaps the greatest of all the many great English novelists, George Eliot was born Mary Ann Evans in 1819 in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England. Her father Robert managed an estate for a wealthy family; her mother Christina was the daughter of a local mill-owner. Among her rather large family, Mary Ann stood apart as the only one with a taste for intellectual pursuits. Her views on philosophy and theology led her to reject religion at the age of 22, leading to a row with her father that lasted months. She spent the next fifteen years in a kind of quest for intellectual companionship, which led to some humiliating episodes before finally resulting in a successful, if socially fraught, relationship with an unhappily married journalist named George Henry Lewes.
After making a living as a freelance editor and translator, Evans turned to writing novels at the age of 37. Published under the pseudonym "George Eliot," her first novel Adam Bede was an immediate success, praised for the depth of its psychological insights and the clarity of its moral vision. Eliot followed Adam Bede with several classics of English literature including The Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, Middlemarch, and Daniel Deronda. She was, remarked Virginia Woolf, one of the few English novelists who wrote books for grown-up people.
