Riz Ahmed's 'Rogue One' Audition Tapes Prove He Was Always Right For The Role
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
By now, it's safe to say that Riz Ahmed has gathered quite a bit of momentum in Hollywood. A delightful British export who's been working for years in the film industry, Ahmed was introduced to mainstream U.S. audiences, thanks to his role in the Star Wars franchise. And now, you can watch Ahmed's Rogue One audition tapes on Entertainment Tonight to see why he got the job. But to be fair, it's not particularly difficult to see how an actor as multifaceted as Ahmed snagged the coveted role of Bodhi Rook.
On Thursday, Ahmed cheekily tweeted out a link to an ET video that included his Star Wars audition tapes. Captioning the retweet with "Still got a few more takes to send in if that's cool...?", Ahmed appeared to be in a happy mood about this bit of behind-the-scenes information coming to light. The actor's caption refers to the fact that he created 14 — count 'em, 14 — separate audition tapes for Rogue One director Gareth Edwards' consideration. Talk about dedication.
In his homemade audition tapes, Ahmed is seen in various costumes and looks (for example, sometimes he sports glasses, other times he wears a bandanna) to show the he was willing to approach the characterization of Bodhi from a variety of angles.
Ahmed described to Entertainment Tonight just how keen he was to nail the audition, hence why he made so many tapes. He said,
"I sent him like two or three versions of it. I woke up the next morning and I hadn't gotten an email back so I thought, 'Why don't I send him another two or three more versions of it!' and then I kind of thought, 'Oh you know what? Maybe if he had a different accent or different costumes.' So I did that again, and I sent him 14 takes of this character over like, two or three days. I was spamming quite hardcore, to be honest, and I'm just really grateful he didn't take out a restraining order."
This clip isn't the first time that Ahmed has joked about what a wild audition process he had for Rogue One. While it becomes clear in the Entertainment Tonight report that Ahmed was the definition of "keen" in sending in 14 tapes, it was during his interview with Jimmy Fallon that he described just how Edwards responded.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on YouTube
Back in December, Ahmed explained,
"He made the mistake of giving me his email address. So I sent him one version of the scene and a few hours later I was like, 'Oh, I'll do it another way.' ... He called me a few weeks later — it was a pretty tense few weeks — so I was like, 'I really screwed this up,' and he said, 'I'm not going to take out a restraining order. I'm going to put you in the film'."
Honestly that is such a touch-and-go scenario. I can totally understand where Ahmed may have gotten the creative lightning bolt to want to show more about his take on Bodhi, but he really toed the line, right?
Thank goodness Edwards politely told him to chill out and didn't just throw him into a pile of "No"s. It's hard to imagine what Rogue One would be like without Ahmed as Bodhi in the mix.

A Day Without Me
A Day Without MeLyrics
Things to Make and DoLyrics
The single A Day Without Me appears on U2's debut album Boy. It was also the first recording with Steve Lillywhite producing - he would go on to produce U2's first three albums. After hearing A Day Without Me in a record store, DJ Carter Alan of WBCN-FM in Boston became a U2 fan and was instrumental in introducing a US audience to U2 for the first time by including the song in his play list.
After omitting A Day Without Me from their set for six months, it was added back in for the November 28, 1981 performance in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Palladium. I Threw A Brick Through A Window precedes the song and this combination of the two songs would be played often in later shows. For the March 24, 1983 Glasgow show, Bono added a snippet of Loch Lomond and during the US Festival on May 30, 1983 in Devore, California he added snippets of The Beatles' Dear Prudence while performing the song. The latter addition to the song would occur several times particularly during The Unforgettable Fire tour.
The French release of A Day Without Me (b/w I Will Follow), which is in 7" format looks like a promo or jukebox issue; however, it actually is a commercial release and is a rare find. Readers voted the song the No.2 Best Single in the Hot Press Best National Poll Results.

One Gamer Will Be Able To Play Borderlands 3 Before Anyone Else
Ron Perillo / 2 years ago
Although You Wouldn't Call Him "Lucky"
Gearbox will be releasing the much anticipated Borderlands 3 on September. However, one fan will be playing it ahead of everyone else with the blessing of Gearbox and publisher 2K Games themselves. He will be playing it in June, a full three months ahead of everyone else.
Despite this, I wouldn't be quick to call him lucky. You see this gamer whose name is Trevor Eastman was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal, stomach and liver cancer last month. Having one cancer diagnosis is bad enough, but three and at stage 4 to boot means probability of survival is grim. In fact, doctors say that he has a year left.
Eastman documented this on reddit back in April, but two days ago he has posted an updated stating that a 2K Games representative has reached out. Confirming that he will be able to play the game early. They are flying out somebody from the company in a few weeks to deliver the game. For his part, Eastman has sworn not to divulge any information which might spoil the game for others.
When is Borderlands 3 Coming Out?
For everyone else, Borderlands 3 will be playable on September 13th. It will be available on the Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. On the PC, it will be exclusively available via the EPIC Games Store for the first six months.
Topics: 2K Games, borderlands 3, charity, gearbox
AMD or NVIDIA?


The EuroMALE Unmanned Aircraft System represents the latest attempt by European defense players - namely Airbus, Dassault, and Leonardo - to provide military- and security-minded services with a UAV of local design.
Unless otherwise noted the presented statistics below pertain to the Airbus-Dassault-Leonardo EuroMALE model. Common measurements, and their respective conversions, are shown when possible.
ENGINE: 2 x Conventional engines driving six-bladed propeller units in pusher fashion.
None. Mission equipment believed to revolve around various optics and sensor fits for the Intelligence-Surveillance-Reconnaissance (ISR) role.
• EuroMALE - Base Project Name.
Detailing the development and operational history of the Airbus-Dassault-Leonardo EuroMALE Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). Entry last updated on 5/3/2018. Authored by Staff Writer. Content ©www.MilitaryFactory.com.
The EuroMALE represents the latest joint-European initiative centered on providing its various armed services with a locally designed, developed, and built Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). The venture is being headed by major defense players Airbus and Dassault of France and Leonardo of Italy (with involvement from both Germany and Spain). To this point, the defense powers of the mainland Europe have had to rely on a collection of UAVSs of foreign origination - mainly from the United States and Israel; namely the Predator and Heron UAVs, respectively.
On April 26th, 2018, a full-scale mockup of the EuroMALE was revealed to onlookers attending ILA Berlin. The showcased specimen - not a finalized design form - has the usual bulbous frontal section containing the avionics fit. The fuselage is slender with nearly slab sides while the tail unit is capped by a single vertical fin with high-mounted horizontal planes (in the traditional "T-Style" or "Multhopp Tail" arrangement). The wing mainplanes are slim and fitted at, or near, midships while being low-mounted along the fuselage sides. Between the mainplanes position and the tail unit are outboard-held turboprop engine nacelles driving conventional propeller units in "pusher" fashion - this most likely a design quality accepted to better meet European civilian airspace regulations. Each engine drives a six-bladed propeller. The undercarriage is of a tricycle arrangement and appears fully-retractable into the design - a nose leg and two main legs are in play.
Beyond its general appearance, little in terms of performance for the EuroMALE is known. Since its powerplant scheme will revolve around conventional propeller-based systems, long loitering times are expected with a modest maximum speed. The system will most likely support the same sortie types that the Intelligence-Surveillance-Reconnaissance-minded General Atomics "Predator" line does - though perhaps without the land-attack capability of the related "Reaper".
A finalized design form of the EuroMALE is scheduled to be completed before the start of 2019 while it is hoped that the production-quality version can meet an in-operation date scheduled for sometime in 2025 or thereabouts.
Performance and structural specifications on this page are estimates.

Q: G1: What are the differences between mixed gc and full gc? For garbage first collector, young gc means performing gc in young generation only and  mixed gc  would clean both young and old generation.
So what is full gc? Why it lasts longer than mixed gc?
I've done some searching but I didn't find any post that explains full gc.

A: From Oracle G1 GC blog and technetwork article
Young GC:
The collection set of the Young GC includes only young/survivor regions.
Mixed GC:
The collection set of the Mixed GC includes both young/survivor regions, but also old regions.
Humongous Objects and Humongous Allocations
For G1 GC, any object that is more than half a region size is considered a "Humongous object". Such an object is allocated directly in the old generation into "Humongous regions". These Humongous regions are a contiguous set of regions.
Dead Humongous objects are freed at the end of the marking cycle during the cleanup phase also during a full garbage collection cycle.
In-order to reduce copying overhead, the Humongous objects are not included in any evacuation pause. A full garbage collection cycle compacts Humongous objects in place.
Generally a Full GC cleans the entire Heap – both Young and Tenured spaces (old gen)
On a different note, you have to worry about how much time "application threads were stopped" irrespective of GC type :  Young GC or Full GC etc.

A: The g1 divides the heap into regions, where the young generation and the old generation consists of several regions each.
A young GC collects some regions (not all), however, all of them are assigned to the young generation. A mixed GC collects some regions (not all), some belong the young generation, at least one to the old generation. A full GC collects all regions, and, in consequence, the young and the old generation.

A: Under normal conditions G1 should only run young and mixed collections to meet its pause time goals.
Full GCs are a fallback mechanism and likely to violate those goals. They occur when mixed GCs aren't able to keep up with allocations, when a humongous allocation could not be satisifed or when a GC is requested with System.gc() and some other conditions.
Logging with -XX:+PrintGCDetails should include a cause for full collections.

A: The difference between young and mixed GC is:

*

*Mixed GC contains the old regions reclamation (1/8 of old regions by default.)

*Mixed GC will be triggered when IHOP is reached. (By default when the old gen > 45%.)

From Oracle documentation:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/gctuning/garbage-first-g1-garbage-collector1.html

Adaptive IHOP tries to set the Initiating Heap Occupancy so that the first mixed garbage collection of the space-reclamation phase starts when the old generation occupancy is at a current maximum old generation size minus the value of -XX:G1HeapReservePercent as the extra buffer.

For full GC,

After space-reclamation, the collection cycle restarts with another young-only phase. As backup, if the application runs out of memory while gathering liveness information, G1 performs an in-place stop-the-world full heap compaction (Full GC) like other collectors.

The reason that a Full GC occurs is because the application allocates too many objects that can't be reclaimed quickly enough. Often concurrent marking has not been able to complete in time to start a space-reclamation phase.

The owners of the City Football Group are close to adding a Chinese club to their football portfolio.
City already own five clubs; Melbourne City, Club Atletico Torque which they fully own, as well as part owning New York City FC, La Liga's Girona and Yokohama F Marinos in Japan.
It is being widely reported that the group are now in the final stages of closing a deal to purchase a side in the Far East, which would take their global portfolio tally up to six.
An announcement is expected to be made by the end of the year, with the club in question believed to be Chengdu.
The current Premier League champions have been criticised for moving players between clubs under the umbrella of the City Football Group, but the owners have insisted that their sole aim is to build their brand while 'expanding the development of grassroots football'.
City had previously moved away from the Chinese market, citing concerns over the rapid growth of the Chinese Super League. However now they seem to be setting their sights on a lower division side, with Chengdu Better City one of three potential clubs within their search parameters.


Each of us has its own cravings. In my family, Mr. K and Ms. Burrito are oftentimes the ones with cravings lol. Below is the plate of goodness I ate from a Chinese Resto last weekend. This time, it was Ms. Burrito who asked for some Chinese food.
I dunno why my body aches this morning. The only work I did yesterday was to babysit. Oh, I know, I helped my husband lift the rabbit's house yesterday, maybe that was it. Anyhow, the kids did great in helping their Dad yesterday. We transferred Wubzy in his new house today even though we haven't paint it yet. The weather is a little damp to paint.
I am planning to just warm up left O's today, I am not in the mood to cook weeeee. We have to eat it anyway before it gets bad so why cook if there's a ready made one in the fridge. Practical eh? Or should I call it laziness lol! Oh well, whatever.
Champ was so jealous of the attention that we are giving the bunny rabbit.
Hope you have a good day today folks. I will be doing my laundry in a bit so ciao!
Sea food!!!! yes, that's for me.
who would not love that food, i love the shrimps/prawns, yum yum.
Wow, the Chinese food in the picture looks so delicious, yummy. And your family photo is wonderful. Nothing wrong with reheating left over food especially if they are still good. It is funny that even animals can get jealous like Champ with your pet bunny, hehehe. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.

Beau's Lug Tread: An Oral History, is a three-part blog project that looks at the early days of the independent craft brewery Beau's Brewing Company's flagship beer, Lug Tread.
Through audio recordings, press clippings and original documents, we're telling the sometimes tumultuous, often hilarious—and always entertaining—origin story of the people behind the original lagered ale, and the beer itself.
When Beau's was starting out in the mid '00s, the independent craft brewing landscape in Canada was quite different from what it is today.
Bar and restaurant owners were more reluctant to carry craft beer, as it was a harder sell. Banks were less eager to offer financing to brewers, as craft beer had yet to be proven the sound financial opportunity it is in today's marketplace. Craft beer drinkers were not as common as they are now.
For a father and son duo—and a handful of friends, family and co-conspirators—stepping into uncharted territory would prove to be an interesting gambit. We all know how it turns out, but how did it begin?
To discuss the early days of Beau's and its flagship beer, Lug Tread, on Thursday, May 31, 2018, we gathered some of the original key players from Beau's in a room to discuss those early days over a few beers.
The set-up: It is the early-to-mid 2000s and Tim Beauchesne is closing his Eastern Ontario-based textile plant. He has informed his son Steve, who is working in Toronto as a business planner for the Ontario government, of this decision. Over a few beers one sunny afternoon Tim tells Steve about his plans to one day soon open a craft brewery by transforming his existing building. Steve is inspired by the idea. Excited about the prospect, they start to discuss a business plan.
"I was thrilled that Steve decided right there that he was totally interested in joining in this venture, and said that he was willing to quit his job to do it," says Tim. Steve would move back from the metropolis of Toronto to his small hometown of Vankleek Hill, halfway between Ottawa and Montréal, and would enlist some friends and family to help out. They would also find a local brewer, a fellow named Matthew O'Hara.
Tim Beauchesne: There were a few things that we insisted on, such as brewing something that no one else was making in Ontario, and then it was sort of up to Matthew.
Tim: —because he's the pro.
Matthew O'Hara: There were three. What we went with was the prototype of Lug Tread. So it was the Kölsch-style ale, a Märzen, and then what would become 'Festivale,' an altbier.
Steve: I remember absolutely falling in love with the Märzen, and that became one of the biggest battles early on. Whether to launch with what is now Lug Tread, or to have made Lug Tread what is now Märzen.
Tim: —keep in mind all of this was done at Matthew's house.
Jordan Bamforth: Matt, what made you think of those three beers?
Matt: I'd already homebrewed all three styles, but unlike the other two, I hadn't had a commercial example of Kölsch, so I was kind of working blind. I was basing everything on the book Kölsch: History, Brewing Techniques, Recipes by Eric Warner from Brewers Publications, and I thought that—as I tasted what I'd brewed at home—that I'd hit the mark in terms of the overall description of the style and the flavour profile.
Tim: You also did the Kölsch in both organic and non-organic.
Matt: Yeah, I have my old brewing logs here, and we did a few different versions. At some point we settled on the fact that we would want to run with the Kölsch style as the flagship. At that point we started doing various test batches. We used certified organic malts with such.
Steve: I think it was closer to 70 people.
Phil: There's a seven in there. *group laughter* I've been saying 17 for like 11 years. I'm not going to stop now.
Jen Beauchesne: We must have done at least three test batches, because when I came back from Calgary in 2006 the bottle cap had 'K' and '3' on it. That was the one Dad and Steve were saying we had decided on.
Matt: There were four. One of which was organic.
Jordan: So, when you were choosing, what were some of the arguments that made the lagered ale stand out?
Tim: From my perspective, it seemed to have the most mass appeal. This was a year-round, very drinkable beer.
Steve: It was supposed to be four beers in one year, but the first batch of Lug Tread came out and it was pretty obvious right out of the gate that there was no way we were going to fit anything else in.
Steve: As for the selection, in those days, basically we just kept talking to each other until someone gave up.
I sometimes wonder if the trajectory of the brewery would be different had we launched with Märzen instead of Lug Tread.
Steve continues: It's funny because in my mind, I really don't know how much of it was a matter of right time, right place, great beer, and how much of it was right time, right place, right beer. I'm sure that Lug Tread absolutely had an impact there. It always gives me that wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night thought: What if I'd kept pushing for Märzen?
Jamie: The marketplace was so different back then.
Tim: Even in the business-planning stages – bigtime.
Steve: When trying to remember what beer was like back then—it's messed up, right? There were 30 breweries in the province, and they all made a pilsner.
Jordan: Pilsners and traditional English ales.
Steve: There might have been one or two IPAs.
Phil, addressing interviewer: Did you know we invented the term 'lagered ale'?
Steve: Matt was adamant that we didn't call it a Kölsch—out of respect for the Kölsch convention—which we totally agreed with, but it presented a problem: What do we call the beer?
Matt: It was kind of two-fold really, because one of the other obstacles that we perceived was if we had decided to market it as a Kölsch, no one would really know, at the that time, what Kölsch even was.
After coming up with the term, I remember very quickly a lot of people asking, 'Are you going to trademark that term or copyright it?' and I joked at the time that if Molson or Labatt ever wanted to call a beer 'lagered ale' then I'd consider everything we'd done to date to be a complete success. Then the idea of them essentially advertising Lug Tread with that title? Well that would be the best thing that could happen to us!
It solidifies everything we did in the early days. When you've got one of the largest companies in the world copy-catting you, you're probably doing something pretty good.
It's been this fun thing to watch, company after company copying us.
Later in our oral history, our group will share their stories of the painstaking long hours, headaches, joy, and victories of brewing the first batches of Lug Tread. But first, we'll discuss what it was like to finance an upstart brewery in a very different marketplace than today's, and the challenges of selling a hard-to-describe new craft beer in Ontario in the mid-aughts.


We have an incredible range of options that will appeal to families looking for a fun filled holiday. There's something to suit everyone from the young to the young at heart. If you can't find what you're looking for here then please get in touch and we'll be happy to help.


Monster Living in A Cave Terrorizes Nearby Village!
Game about attacking villagers while they try to run away during the turn-based combat.
You pick 3 actions out of 6 semi-random options to do each turn and can also see the options that the enemy has.
Use wasd or arrow keys to move around the map and mouse or 1-6 and space in battles.
Swallowing enemies heals you a tiny bit and eating them in your cave after you've "cooked" them for 1 battle heals bit more, both adjusted by difficulty.
Post-compo adds new enemies, improves battle UI and some other things.
Wow, I'm really impressed with the battle system you developed. It's really robust considering how much time you had to make it. At first it's a bit overwhelming, but once you get into it it's really deep. Well done!
Now obviously, the graphics and audio aren't quite at that level, however, they are serviceable.
The game has some pretty weird behaviours: lots of NaNs, you can make moves while the success music plays, etc. The biggest problem I think is that there is no way to heal, and the game is pretty difficult because of this. Enemy counters will drop you really quickly, which doesn't really fit with the theme: they countered my spit acid and did 10 dmg? Why did my spit acid only do 10 dmg and them countering it did the same amount? Throwing a rock sometimes does 15!
All in all though, I really like the battle system. Congrats on the entry.
Overall, I like the idea of the game, but it lacks refinement in design. The battles seem really random, and most of the time you're just chasing after the human. Graphics aren't much to speak of, but the rest of the game works. There's also barely any feedback, which makes the game a little confusing.
If it was a little more refined, this could have been really good!
It was pretty fun at first, but combat takes way too long. I feel like each combat should be over in a few rounds. It took me about 10 rounds to finish one combat.
You heal by eating in your cave but it's not very well explained and hmm I think I might have made a scripting error somewhere if a rock can do 15 damage but it's also possible that the fact that message log doesn't mention everything can be confusing. I really should remake most of the turn resolving logic since it makes it hard to make sure it explains all of the actions properly.
I think I fixed the NaN's during submission hour so do tell if they still appear.
Really liked the combat system. While there are lots of little details that could be ironed out (as other comments have mentioned), I think it's a great product for 48 hours. I was left confused about some ability descriptions (especially the support-y yellow abilities, many of which seemed to have similar effects), but again, it's a great idea.
In terms of implementation: how are abilities for the player and enemy chosen? Is it totally random? The enemies seemed to have a lot of defensive skills, which makes playing against them difficult. Also, while I'm guessing there's some secret, super-good strategy, combat usually left my health bar drained, and it doesn't seem like there's a way to replenish it. Maybe once you eat a defeated enemy it could heal you some? Just a thought.
I'd like to see this game with even more RPG-type elements. Also, I LOVE the title!
jodizzle: The abilities have a list of options for each of the 6 slots. Also eating does heal you for around 20% and just defeating a enemy 5%.
And more RPG type elements are planned, mainly some sort of leveling up and changing your abilities.
The combat and storytelling make this game stand out. Great job.
I only had one encounter, and the game then just sat there. Judging from the comments, this isn't normal, so I figured I'd let you know.
The battle system was fun but some explanation of what each of the options meant would have been nice. Also, replacing the bars with numbers would have been useful, yes I'm doing five damage but how much is that? Combat also took far too long.
I really liked the combat system, but feel that the graphics and sounds can be a little more better, especially the graphics.
The battle system was very comprehensive, I liked how you had to queue up multiple moves before making your attack, made for some interesting strategies.
One small point I haven't seen mentioned in the comments below, at first I found the health bar very confusing. I kept glancing at it and wondering why I wasn't doing any damage. Turns out this was because the entire health bar shrinks and there is no indication as to how much health the enemy had at the start of the fight. Having a second bar that lies behind the red health bar and remains constant would be a useful reference for when you want to check how much damage you've done.
In the middle of redoing end turn logic so that message log can easily just tell you what happened in a good order and so that I can make some of the identical actions do different things without having to spend ton of time on it.
HThomson: Good point about health bar, made a post-compo version already just so I can add that(and reduce health of enemies).
Halleflux: Did it stop in the battle screen or did it switch to black one? Latter I could probably prevent from happening easily.
It is hard to know what the enemy will do, but if you are able to do that, I can see this being like a crazy chess/RPG experience. This would be super awesome with more development.
The idea of the randomized battle commands in a turn based RPG is pretty cool, like a mix between Dragon Warrior and a CCG.
I liked it. Great strategic entry.
Interesting idea. It was really rewarding when my strategy worked out. Would love to see this more developed.
Finally got end turn logic remake working! It's much more readable now. Also added 2 new enemies. Next I'll probably remake the healing/cave mechanic and add leveling up to it. After that I'll see if I can make enemies more intelligent(there are only 120 options each turn so shouldn't be too hard).
Good game, I liked how you used a RPG system for the combat.
The idea of choosing your actions and seeing then being played out is an interesting take on turn based combat and has a lot potential, but it seems that there is no way to determine in advance the actions taht the enemy is likely to take wich coupled with the fact that most of their effects are dependent on luck makes the combat feel a bit random, and this can frustrate some players.
The visual style is a bit poor, but the game idea is wonderful.
Surprisingly fun and with a nice battle system. I love the mechanic of having to balance fighting with chasing and not dying. Could have used some kind of numerical representation of health, since it was pretty difficult to tell what kind of damage I was actually doing or how much numbers like "10" matter. Would also have been nice to have some kind of heal ability, since defending was mostly about serious chance, being not only a chance the enemy would even attack, but also at which point in the sequence it is.


Bring your spoons, ukulele or use our gear, we wanna hear what you got. Nobody is there to judge, time to break the ice.
Easter weekend is finally here, and we've got just what you need to start it right, LIVE MUSIC!!

The US Securities and Exchange Commission today announced additional fraud charges stemming from an investigation of Centra Tech Inc.'s $32 million initial coin offering.
In an amended complaint filed today, the SEC charged one of Centra's co-founders, Raymond Trapani, in a fraudulent scheme related to Centra's 2017 ICO, in which the company issued "CTR Tokens" to investors. Earlier this month, the SEC and criminal authorities charged Centra's two other co-founders, Sohrab "Sam" Sharma and Robert Farkas, for their roles in the scheme.
The Commission's investigation, which is continuing, is being conducted by Jon A. Daniels, Luke M. Fitzgerald, and Alison R. Levine of the Cyber Unit and New York Regional Office. The case is being supervised by Valerie A. Szczepanik and Mr. Cohen. The litigation is being conducted by Mr. Daniels, Mr. Fitzgerald, and Ms. Levine, and supervised by Ms. Szczepanik.

Facts and information about Togo you can use in your presentation.
Togo is often referred to as Togolese Republic or simply Togo. The locals also call the country Republique Togolaise or none for short. Derived from the Ewe words "to" (water) and "go" (shore) to give the sense of "by the water"; originally, this designation applied to the town of Togo (now Togoville) on the northern shore of Lake Togo, but the name was eventually extended to the entire nation. The country's flag has the colors green, yellow, red, white.
The country of Togo lies 8 00 north and 1 10 east. The region has a total area of 56,785 sq km with a land coverage of 54,385 sq km. About 2,400 sq km is covered with water. Togo has a total border lenght of 1,880 km and is bordered by the following 3 countries: Benin 651 km, Burkina Faso 131 km, Ghana 1,098 km. The lowest point is Atlantic Ocean 0 m below sea level and the highest is Mont Agou 986 m. Its mean elevation is about 236 m. Lome is the capital of Togo and can be found 6 07 N, 1 13 E.
In July 2016 Togo had a population of 7756937people. In 2015, 0,4 of the population lived in cities. The annual growth rate of urbanization is 3.83%. The residents of the country are called Togolese (singular and plural). The Togolese population has a median age of 19.7 years. The median age for males in 2016 was 19.4 years, and 20 years for females. The estimated growth rate of the Togolese population in 2016 was 2.66%. Looking at life expectancy, the Togolese people live an average of 65 years (males 62.3 years, females 67.7 years). Statistically, Togolese women give birth to 4.43 children in their lifetime.
The estimated gross domestic product in 2015 was about $10.85 billion, with a growth rate of 5.3% compared to 2014 (GPD 2014: $10.3 billion, growth rate 5.4%; GPD 2013: $9.775 billion, growth rate 5.4%).

FDA Dismissed Citizen Petition for Plavix Labeling
The FDA recently dismissed a petition to add a new black-box label to the popular blood thinner Plavix. The implications of this decision remain to be seen in the long run.
Plavix, known generically as clopidogrel, is a blood thinner co-created by the Bristol-Myers Squibb and Sanofi-Aventis corporations. It has retained profits of $6 billion annually and has been prescribed to millions of patients recovering from a heart attack or suffering from heart disease risk.
In 2013, a petition by a citizens group called for an update to the black box labeling of the product. They claimed that there was a risk of extreme bleeding in people who had arterial stents implanted and took Plavix for more than a year. While this information was included in the guidelines of use, as well as a reminder to doctors to review cases individually, many people were concerned that most people did not read the guidelines and therefore needed an extra reminder.
In an unusual turn of events, the FDA rejected the request and threw out the claim. Typically the FDA has been shown to attempt to appease petitions of this nature to some degree if they feel they cannot give the people what they request, but they have declined the change and offered no alternative solution. The FDA did note in the course of its investigation that there was no precedent for individuals to take Plavix for over a year with heart stents and this may have been a factor in their denial.
Another factor in the FDA's denial was a 2016 study by the American Heart Association that noted that Plavix did increase bleeding while also drastically lowering chances of heart disease and heart attack. According to a letter from late December of last year, Jante Woodcock, Research Director at the Center for Drug Evaluation stated that: "An unqualified statement advising physicians that continuation of clopidogrel for longer than 12 months following percutaneous insertion of a [stent] is of 'questionable additional benefit' in a boxed warning — or indeed in any section of labeling — and would be inconsistent with available data."
Woodcock went on to describe that she and the Center for Drug Research felt that the information in the drug guidelines was adequate for their purposes.
What this rejection has meant for the rest of the country may include the de-legitimizing of lawsuits against Plavix nationwide. A New Jersey federal court is handling multiple cases claiming that these bleeding risks violate Plavix's claim of being safe and effective have seen a number of dismissals, though no data exists currently on how many cases remain open.
These results are not ideal for the consumer. There are many reasons that an individual may not read the guidelines for their medication and not all of them involve laziness or lack of initiative. This series of events demonstrates that the FDA may not require pharmaceutical companies to display on all surfaces what some consumer would rightly consider is vital information. To that end, it becomes critical that everyone read not only the labels but the guidelines for any medication you may be taking to ensure total awareness of the risks and requirements of a particular medication diet.

Q: strange NAT issues with pfSense to vagrant VM This one has got me confused:
I have a pfSense firewall (let's call it pfs) and behind it several servers.
I NAT several services from my public IP to different servers on the LAN without any issues.
On one of the servers (let's call it s1) I'm running a vagrant (with libvirt) VM (let's call it v1) with a public network configured, which gets IP 192.168.1.159 via pfss DHCP server.
Now I configure a simple NAT on pfs to access s1's SSH, say <wan>:6622 -> s1:22 and access it on mydomain.com:6622. No problem.
I can also access v1:22 (or the equivalent 192.168.1.159:22) with a valid ssh user from within the LAN without issue.
Now I add a simple NAT on pfs, say <wan>:6722 -> v1:22. Now trying to access mydomain.com:6722 does not work?!
The objective is to add even "another layer": running containers with public ports, e.g. --publish 9980:80 on v1 and access them as e.g. v1:9980 and from mydomain.com:9980 with the corresponding NAT on pfs like <wan>:9980 -> v1:9980. From the LAN this is also working as expected (i.e. I can access v1:9980 from the LAN), but a NAT via pfs is not.
I have similar setups working within the same network on different machines without problems. I even have another (non-vagrant, but also libvirt) VM on s1 to which I can ssh over NAT via my public IP perfectly fine. But somehow the above doesn't work with the vagrant machine, and I'm really at a loss what might be causing this issue. (FWIW I have net.ipv4.forward enabled on v1).
EDIT:
I got one step closer: if I nuke the first existing NIC of the vagrant VM using virt-manager, and set the second VM to rtl8139 instead of virtio (and then restart), I lose vagrant ssh capability but NAT then works. So the question then becomes: how to configure via vagrant provisioning such that we have a similar config, I suppose that means that the public network must be on the default interface then?

A: Solution:
The cause is that vagrant requires (and therefore configures) its local interface (private network) as primary, with no standard method to override that. (Some info is here, but the vagrant people admit that they're themselves confused by the topic...)
A (more robust) variation on the concept to tweak the default routes brought the solution. I'm using an ansible provisioner, where I execute the following (on the guest, via the provisioning playbook):
  - name: remove wrong default route on eth0 (again)
    shell: |
      eval $(route -n | awk '$0~/[.0]{4}/ && $3~/[.0]{4}/ && $8~/eth0/ { printf "ip route del default via %s dev %s; ",$3,$8 }')

(interestingly it needs to be executed twice (or after a while?), possibly because the network hasn't come up fully when the provision script started?)
This removes the default route on eth0 (the public_network would only be automatically configured on eth1 by vagrant) and makes external connections work as expected. This is presumably (speculating here) due to the fact that responses to incoming NATed requests are routed to the firewall via the default route on eth0 by default (which by vagrant default has priority), which confuses the NAT FW because it came in on the VM's eth1. So removing eth0 as default replies to external requests on the same interface as they came in on.

Look at our 9 months pregnancy in 1000 pictures!
Each frame (photo) was separately taken, edited and uploaded!
😭😭😭 I wanna be a mommy and a wife so badly 😭😭😭 but I'm only 15😂😂 idk it's just that I feel really empty inside and I feel like being a wife and a mommy will fill that void. But imma be patient cuz I know that God will give it to me when the time is right.
This is really cute! 🙂 keep it up!
Wow! Guys, this was brilliant!!
How old is baby now? So cute.
All I've been wondering is: "Why did she wear the exact same clothes every photo?"
She is turning 7 this year.
How old is she now? Update?


Just started using this. It seems great.
Although I noticed on one batch of images it said they were uploaded but 1 images was missing in Shutterstock.
Will this happen often? I will have to go through and check which image is missing.
This happens sometimes due to Shutterstock ingestion system issues. Don't worry though, the system is watching such files and will re-upload them automatically if they do not appear at the website within a week.
If you want to re-upload earlier, you can select the file, assign 'ready' status for Shutterstock to it and re-upload it manually.
Getty blocked our API keys to access their API.
If you happen to have working API keys you can specify them in settings and upload to ESP with SS/M+.
We cannot provide them nor do we encourage using this feature in any way.
If i reupload the files pond5 tells me those file names have already been uploaded.
Write to the author. He is incredibly involved and responsive.
That's a classic Pond5 bug, their processing is slow and unstable in general.
If the system notices that an uploaded file didn't appear at the agency website within a week - it'll automatically re-upload it given you didn't remove it from M+.
Hi, thanks for adding me to the beta users group. I've added the following agencies, Shutterstock, Dreamstime and Adobe. Upload 10 photos to each of the agencies all with titles, descriptions keywords and categories. The following is what happened when I checked each agency site.
Probably you've checked it too quickly.
Uploaded files will always lack metadata if the agency doesn't fill the fields automatically. It's the same as if you would upload files manually.
After uploading the files the system will check the agencies websites every 15 minutes or so to see if the files have appeared.
Once it finds the files there it will 'submit' them, filling all the fields and sending them for review.
So all you need to do is just to wait for the submission to happen (should have happened by now).
And of course some agencies are slow with processing the uploaded files (like DT) so if the files did not appear yet it means the website is still processing them and the system will submit them once they appear at the website.
Hi, 24 hours later still no images on Dreamstime that I uploaded.
Bug - when typing in the title or description field and want to go back and add a word in what you have already typed, you can only type one character at a time, the cursor jumps to the end of the text after each character you type. Hope this makes sense.
Is there better performance with a certain browser?
Alternatively, you can change their status to Ready for Dreamstime and re-upload manually.
2. It is a known Safari bug. We thought we've fixed it but it seems it still happens... Will think what we can do about it. It's kind of a 'blind debug' since modern versions of Safari don't work on any OS that can be installed on a regular PC.
Thanks, Niakris, shifted to using Chrome and that text/title issue goes away.
One thing I've noticed is that the drop down for categories for DT doesn't seem to stay in alphabetical order.
Also entering my login details for Pond5 and the site is not saving the login info.
DT: Will fix that, thanks for letting us know!
Pond5: Did you fill the FTP password field?
What kind of files do you take? Only photos? Or also videos?
Can we also download our own files back down from the cloud? So would it also be an online backup?
It looks really interesting and might save me time or allow me to add more agencies.

Untimely Death was my last read for R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril this year. I do enjoy this event. Thanks goes to the Estella Society for hosting this year.
Untimely Death started out a little rough for me. Foreshadowing's all well and good, but phrases like "but this year was going to be different; changes were coming. She could feel it." and, on the very next page, "And although she'd never been part of a real-life murder, that was about to change," are a bit heavy-handed, especially for what is quite clearly a cozy murder mystery. Happily it improved.
There are certain settings I tend to enjoy, and behind the scene at a play is one of them. Charlotte, a talented costume, is our amateur sleuth who just so happens to be dating one of the local policemen. I liked her a lot. She just seemed like a good, nice person, who knows her job and the theater well. the other characters are well-developed, especially her assistant Aaron, and a few of the actors. There wasn't really much gossip or petty jealousies in the cast though. Most of the actors are relatively fresh out of school and the one's who know what they're doing seem more helpful than not. There's one affair, but no one is really betrayed by the infidelity. The hotel's guests were not a part of this story; the focus was on the theater.
As a mystery is was okay. There was one big clue, and a couple of others that we were shown. It was kind of impossible to pick up on a couple of things though, as an American, but, thankfully, Charlotte is British, so could piece it together.
I felt the characters were a bit stronger than the plot. I'm looking forward to the next in the series. It'll be interesting to see where the idea Charlotte puts together at the end of the book goes.

Too often in London expats find themselves clinging to home, often materialised in yet another night getting wasted in the same bar with the same people. This is nice, sometimes. But how is it possible to grow?
Australia may have a cockroach problem and the spiders are huge, but at least you can deal with them with a can of bug spray. London's mice are a different kind of fret altogether.
Career isn't everything and why be rich when you can travel and have the time of your life?
Tea is supposed to brew before adding milk, however this is London and if the coffee is burnt and bitter you can assume the tea will be scalding and flavourless.
Hot summer nights: are you ready, London?
Forget about Brexit, Wimbledon, and even the football World Cup; instead for the next three months it will be all about the heatwaves.
Believe it or not, Australians are not the only expats in London. We aren't the only ones who like to make a bit of homegrown noise every now and then, so there's no need to be embarrassed about it.
London can be one seriously pricey city to live in. However, there is some good news: due to the weakening British pound the cost of living in the capital has been falling. It might just be the right time to make the big move.
Every Australian who has lived in the UK has experienced the delights and horrors of sharehouse living; particularly when it comes to overseas guests. You need t work out a policy early with housemates to ensure your expat sanctuary doesn't become a 24/7 motel.
Home is beckoning and you are ready to pack up and leave London. Before you do, think about all the things you're going to miss about the city and make the most of the time you have left. Or if you are long gone, here's some reminiscing.
Many of the nearly 500 Aussies in the city's Ambulance Service will spend Australia Day on shifts 10,000 miles away from home, looking after Londoners.
Will some Brit 'posh boys' always dismiss Aussies as 'convict stock'?
They are the pompous type that treat Aussies and Kiwis as though we are Neanderthals with little to no knowledge of history and culture.
When you make the big jump for a stint in the UK, there's a lot in your life that is going to change and you will need to adjust in a major way. Here's some top advice on how, from someone who has taken the leap.
Christmas can be a surprisingly different, new and fun experience for Australian expats in the UK.
Is it really worth the effort of making new friends with other travellers if they are only about to wave goodbye?
Get ready for amazing queues, multiple travel adapters and the 'Heathrow injection'. Living in London is a life changing experience in more ways than one.


What's New in FTM 2017!
We hope you'll like our elegantly simple color coding which makes powerful discoveries possible by allowing up to eight colors on a single person in your tree. You can start by coloring all four lines of your Ancestors with a single click, choosing one of the four-color groups. The first four-color group is the classic one made famous by Mary Hill.
And then perhaps add a color for a particular attribute – such as all those who served in the military – by creating a list in the Index and applying a color to it. Oh yeah, and then SAVING that list. Testers reported being stunned to discover relationships they couldn't have guessed in their huge trees. Or finding ancestors with similar names were not from the same family after all.
Go find your most faded old photos. The first tool in the FTM 2017 Photo Darkroom series is the Faded Photo Repair Tool. It does just one thing, as its name implies, but does it extraordinarily well. It takes faded old black-and-white photos and makes them look like the day they were first printed. All with just a few clicks of three repair tools of differing intensity.
If you're the kind that likes to tinker around a bit, drop down the Advanced Settings to sharpen up your photos with a few final adjustments using the sliders. The photo below went from "Before" to "After" with four clicks of the Intensive Repair tool, one click of the Light Repair one and a drag of the sharpness slider. And yes, it really is as easy as that.
Access interactive street and satellite maps to view important locations in your ancestors' lives and track your family's migration paths.
View and share your discoveries with a variety of colorful family tree charts, such as pedigree, descendant, bowtie and fan charts, and create reports that provide a snapshot of your family tree and help you plan what to research next. More options and views let you display an individual's ancestors, spouses, and children together. Also, the Index of Individuals Report has been expanded with options for anniversary, birthday, contact lists, and more.

Thanks for watching this best online furniture review.
Ordered a Burrow couch about a month ago. I was also sent the wrong color… twice. Third time around, was sent a love seat instead of a 3 seater couch. Just received the final piece to complete the couch today (almost a month later). Finally got it put together today and am happy with it. I've been noticing other reviews mentioning issues with the shipping as well. Customer service is really great though.. Good couch for the price and convenience. Just need to work on their organization / shipping game.
Burrow is the best in terms of fitting into any room. I like that it is able to be switched from love seat to couch to sectional easily.
Can you guys review the bean bag chair that can unfolded into mattress? I like the Couch Bed over a futon. My biggest concern is the warranty gets voided if there are stains, but no mattress protector contorts into the couch shape. Even if one did, it'd look awful.
I like Burrow for modular design.
Looking for new couch right now. this video was useful!!
All of these look overpriced and poor quality. Better off buying from Big Lots.
This actually seemed like a real review – not just like all the websites trying to make money off referrals. Thank you!
Good review guys. I had never heard of these companies before… not sure they are for me but it's opened up a new way to shop for couches. Thanks!!
Burrow is best for the value for the money.
very effective review, good visuals with accurate representation of how we actually sit, lay, work, lounge at our sofas.
Big selling point for me is the US manufacture of the Burrow.
Couchbed because it's easy access to a bed when your out drinking.
I like burrow. Couchbed my kids would love.
Burrow looks nice, seems comfortable, easy to put together, and is at a good price.

Industry pans rent hike on shortened offshore leases
11 16, 2011 by Houston Chronicle
WASHINGTON - Industry leaders and their congressional allies complained Tuesday that the administration's plan to hike the minimum bid for offshore drilling leases and shorten their duration will discourage companies from making bets on marginal fields in the Gulf of Mexico and curb domestic energy production.
At issue is the Interior Department's decision to boost the minimum bid for deep-water tracts from $37.50 per acre to $100, while shrinking the length of most such leases from 10 to seven years. The move is designed to spur companies to develop offshore areas they lease.
But Erik Milito, the upstream and industry operations group director for the American Petroleum Institute, said the combination of shorter leases and higher prices could discourage oil and gas companies from pursuing areas where the potential returns are low.
"A lot of resources out there are at the margins," Milito said. The industry can produce those under the current structure but might not be able to under the new one, he said.
"It's ultimately going to lead to less production," Milito added.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said the proposed changes make leases less attractive and could reduce returns for taxpayers.
The first test of that calculus will come on Dec. 14, when the administration auctions 21 million acres of drilling leases in the western Gulf of Mexico. Leases in the central Gulf that are considered more attractive are scheduled for a lease sale next spring.
The nation's top offshore drilling regulator, Tommy Beaudreau, insisted Tuesday that the Obama administration is rightly trying to spur companies to launch exploration instead of letting leases sit idle.
In his first public appearance as director of the Interior Department's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Beaudreau said the higher bid requirement was rooted in an analysis of 15 years of lease sales that showed virtually no drilling on acreage leased for less than $100 per acre.
'It was cheap'
"Not a single exploration well had been drilled in those areas. Companies had simply - because it was cheap - bought that acreage and done nothing with it," Beaudreau told the Platts Energy Podium.
He noted that companies can get three-year extensions of seven-year offshore drilling leases when they prove they're conducting activity at the site.
"These terms are really designed to help spur production," Beaudreau said. "It's really a pro-development measure to encourage exploration and development early in leases so that discoveries can be made" and "production can be brought online."
The shorter -lease terms first applied during an auction of drilling rights in the Gulf in March 2010. But the administration is now applying them to all future offshore sales, including those proposed in a leasing plan for 2012 to 2017.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is set to defend that five-year plan during a House Natural Resources Committee hearing on Wednesday.
The proposal paves the way for 15 sales of offshore leases, including a dozen auctions for tracts in the Gulf of Mexico and three for Arctic waters near Alaska. But the administration ruled out selling drilling leases for the Pacific and Atlantic coasts and an area of the eastern Gulf of Mexico where a congressional moratorium bans exploration.
The API's Milito argued it was shortsighted for the administration to leave out the eastern Gulf sale, given some lawmakers' recent pushes to scrap the moratorium. If Congress were to lift the ban, it could take more than a year to complete required environmental studies to add an eastern Gulf sale to the 2012-2017 schedule.
Milito said the government could schedule sales in areas that now are off-limits, and delay or cancel the auctions later if warranted.
In creating the offshore leasing blueprint, the Interior Department relied on 1970s-era geological data about potential oil and gas off the East Coast.
The administration is on track to release an environmental impact statement assessing the effects of seismic research this summer, which could pave the way for new geological surveys in the area.
API argued in a letter to congressional leaders that seismic companies won't have any incentive to do fresh research without the prospect that leases there will lure energy producers to pay for the data.
Beaudreau dismissed that argument on Tuesday.
"Our intention is not to take the mid- and south Atlantic off the table in perpetuity," Beaudreau said. "Quite the opposite, this is a considered strategy to develop information about the resource potential in the area."
Beaudreau said he is confident companies that have expressed interest in doing the seismic research will go forward with that work and market it to oil and gas producers that plan their exploration programs decades into the future.

He comes to Dallas as outside back cover for Jair Benitez and Zach Loyd, though looking at his highlights it's not inconceivable that he could push into midfield on occasion.

I just returned home after a busy "world win" tour to the northeast and midwest that had so many highlights that I couldn't list them all in a short newsletter. One of the high points was a Course In Laughter weekend workshop at the Rowe Conference Center in Massachusetts.
Someone else in the workshop then made a suggestion that it might be more helpful to focus on what we do want rather than what we don't. So we offered her a new intention: "How can I be fully capacitated during my inclining years?" We all had a good hearty laugh, but that was nothing compared to what happened the following morning. The woman performed an entire routine — involving mime, the white board and the spoken word — that evoked laughter, and tears. She was entirely transformed, as she now had a positive intention she was living into.
I knew how she felt because something quite similar happened to me about a month ago. I got a call from a woman named Jacquelyn Aldana who wanted some comedy coaching to spice up her presentation. To give me some background, she sent me her book and her workbook, The 15-Minute Miracle. As I read through this deceptively-simple book, I realized some truths that I had heard many times before but hadn't integrated.
I realized I had fallen into the habit of basing my mood on external events, rather than choosing an intentional internal state. I began to use gratitude as the "karma fuel" to generate these good feelings within, and quickly began to notice positive changes in all aspects of my life. I had read works by Gregg Braden and others about how feelings provided the energy behind prayers, but this was the first time I actually experienced it myself.
More importantly, this is an opportunity for us collectively to face the negative, and at the same time infuse our healthier scenarios with emotional juice. In the next few days, the Department of Heartland Security will make some announcements that will offer new, positive and practical directions for us to take as individuals, as a nation, and as a world.

Champlayers to Perform The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)
Quinn Kanner, News Editor|April 19, 2019
The cast and crew of "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)"
Champlain's student-run drama club, The Champlayers, will be performing "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)" at 7:00 p.m., Friday, April 19, and Saturday, April 20 in Alumni Auditorium.
"If you love or if you hate Shakespeare, we both give a tribute to Shakespeare and we also take the piss out of him," said Jake Buzzell, '20 who's playing Hamlet and Henry VI. "So it's fun for everyone, regardless of your level of experience with the Bard."
The group originally picked the play because they thought it was by the same playwright as "The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon," the spring show in 2016 when the seniors were first years.
The Champlayers seniors Oliver Ash, Bekah Airewele, Jack Malvey and Rachel Matthews.
"But as it turns out, they're not written by the same people," Buzzell said. "But we had already decided to do the show by then."
"The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)" was written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield for three actors. Senior Professional Writing major Rachel Matthews adapted the script to expand those three acting roles into 46.
"A primary facet of the Champlayers is to be inclusive," Special Projects Manager Maddie Burgee, '20 said. "It's our primary mission to include anyone at any level in any facet of theatre they're interested in being in, so to be able to include as many actors as possible was our goal. It is every semester. "we can't have a three-person show. What fun would that be?"
All of the work that went into this production was done by students, from the script adaption to the directing to the set design.
The Champlayers
Jake Buzzell as Hamlet.
"Maddie [Burgee] and I have collectively done all the costuming for the show," Stage Manager Katie Bush, '20 said. "Me and Dylan Francis did set design. Aidan [Wasserman] and Dylan built the entire set, with help from one or two other people on the cast."
"[The costumes] are not entirely from scratch," Burgee added. "We do as much as we can purchasing things from Goodwill. We have contacted Old Gold, the vintage shop, but if we need to make alterations—I'm currently turning dress pants into Shakespearean-era pantaloons—so making major alterations like that, not entirely from scratch, we primarily focus on making alterations."
The play is about an hour and a half long.
"It's super funny," Assistant Stage Manager Aidan Wasserman, '22 said. "Our three main narrators are really awesome. It's their final show here, and they're really pulling out all the stops."
Highlights to look forward to:
The Set:
"My personal favorite part of any show is our set build days," Burgee said. "We basically goof around for a full day, like a solid 24 hours, we're just messing around and either going out shopping or we're here building or listening to Katie's playlist really loudly, whatever it may be. Set builds are usually the highlight for me."
"I think it's really fun to take a bunch of lumber and turn it into something that we can use to accentuate the performance," Wasserman said, "and having a leadership role doing that with Dylan this time was really cool."
Jes Burke as Macbeth and Clay Neuger as Macduff.
The Macbeth scene:
"I really like the Macbeth scene," said transfer Jes Burke, who's playing Titus Andronicus and Macbeth. "We have a lot of fun with it… we just get to yell onstage a lot and it's really high energy, and I love doing stuff like that."
The end of Hamlet:
"It gets really hectic, and there's lots of craziness going on," Chelsey Sanford, '22 who's playing Friar Lawrence, Claudius and King Richard III.
"I always get my daily dose of cardio in because of it," Buzzell said.
