As we’re all painfully aware, the F-35 has been in development for two decades and is still years away from front line service in any effective manner (notwithstanding the Marine Corps’ PR stunt proclaiming a fictional IOC). The danger with such a protracted development is that by the time the aircraft reaches squadron service, its technologies may be obsolete. Most of us recognize this danger and worriedly track Chinese and Russian aviation developments to see what capabilities they’ll have when the F-35 enters service. However, there is another F-35 “enemy” whose technological capabilities should have been vastly overmatched by the F-35 but are rapidly catching up and may surpass the F-35. Who is that enemy? It’s the F-18 Hornet. Yes, the lowly, basic, non-stealthy Hornet is rapidly gaining capabilities to rival or surpass the F-35.
We know about the Advanced Super Hornet with conformal fuel tanks that would add 260 miles to the combat radius according to flight testing, enhanced stealth with a 50% reduction in frontal RCS, longer range, advanced cockpit avionics, and an enclosed weapons pod. What else is being done to improve the Hornet? Well, here are a couple of new technologies.
Harris Corp., Government Communications Systems Division, has received a $29M contract for the procurement of 138 Distributed Targeting System (DTS) kits for F/A-18E/F and EA-18G (1). DTS provides enhanced targeting capability for the Super Hornet. It is part of the U.S. Navy’s F/A-18E/F Network Centric Warfare Upgrades program and the F/A-18E/F Flight Plan, which is intended to ensure that the Super Hornet remains ahead of emerging threats in coming decades.
DTS increases pilot and aircrew situational awareness and precision targeting when engaging air-to-ground targets, in part by using geo-registration technology. Geo-registration technology compares images taken from tactical sensors with an onboard imagery database to produce highly accurate target coordinates.
From a Flight Global website article (2),
"The distributed targeting system allows you to self-generate GPS-quality mensurated coordinates onboard the airplane autonomously," Morley [Captain Frank Morley, Program Manager for the F/A-18E/F and EA-18G] says.
“That means that the Super Hornet will be able to use coordinates generated by its sensors, for example its Raytheon APG-79 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar or its Raytheon AN/ASQ-228 Advanced Targeting Forward-Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) pod, and compare that to a precise onboard imagery database to generate precise weapons quality coordinates.”
Now doesn’t that sound a lot like the F-35’s vaunted sensor fusion technology? The biggest difference is that the DTS is being produced today rather than being just a never-ending developmental project.
In addition to the DTS, the Hornet has an Infrared Search and Track (IRST) sensor in the works. IRST is a passive, long-range sensor that searches for and detects heat sources. The system can simultaneously track multiple targets and provides air-to-air targeting capability. Being a passive sensor, IRST does not give off radiation and is harder to detect as well as being immune to radar jamming.
“Meanwhile, the Boeing is about one year into a development program to field a new infrared search and track (IRST) pod that should be fielded on the Super Hornet fleet by late 2016, Morley says. Developed in conjunction with Lockheed Martin, the new sensor is an evolution of the Northrop Grumman F-14D Tomcat's AN/AAS-42 IRST camera. Boeing upgraded the Tomcat's camera technology for foreign F-15 sales, Morley says. The variant of the sensor that will be added to the Super Hornet is a further development of Boeing's F-15 developments.”
“For the Super Hornet, the USN opted for a podded-solution. A pod avoids retrofit costs, Morley says. An internal system would require modifications to the aircraft's outer mold-line and avionics hardware changes, which would require extensive testing. Nor does the USN need the pod for every mission, Morley says. The IRST is only required for air-to-air focused missions like fleet air defence or air superiority. As such, the USN will only buy about 170 pods, which it will use only as needed, Morley says.
One of the unique design features of the new IRST pod is that it is built into an external fuel tank. Because the aircraft's centerline station is the optimum position for the IRST pod, it has to take the place of the Super Hornet's ever-present drop-tank.
In order to preserve the Super Hornet's range, the USN opted to have the sensor built into the forward half of the fuel tank. That way, some two-thirds of the fuel is still available for use.” (2)
IRST completed its first flight aboard an F/A-18 Super Hornet in February.
Further planned upgrades also sound like the F-35 sensor fusion (2).
“…one of the most important planned capabilities will be better multi-sensor integration (MSI). The aircraft will eventually be able to correlate all of the disparate information generated by the radar, ATFLIR, electronic warfare systems and data-links into one clear tactical picture …”
A Global Aviation website report sums up the Hornet’s development (3),
“Other F/A-18E/F Super Hornet next-generation capabilities included in the flight plan are advanced fused sensors, Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Radar, Counter Electronic Attack (CEA), Distributed Targeting System (DTS), Multi-sensor Integration (MSI), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW), IP-Based Linked Networks and advanced air-to-ground and air-to-air precision weapons operating on an open-architecture backplane.”
Again, the key difference between the F-35 and these Hornet technologies is that the Hornet’s are in production or nearly so and are being fitted to capable, combat ready aircraft. By the time the F-35 is ready, it may find itself struggling to keep up with the Hornet rather than the other way around.

Developing a strong way of constructing press releases is important for any business owner. When dealing with the media it is necessary to formulate information in a compelling manner.
When media outlets receive information that is credibly constructed, they are more likely to promote the information with the intent of helping the business owner to get the word out about their product or service.
Working with a promotional agency to promote a new product or service is necessary in order to maximize the effectiveness of your promotional efforts. Individuals who are in the promotional industry will understand how to choose words carefully so that the picture that needs to be presented can be done effortlessly.
When dealing with the press every word counts. Therefore, written information needs to be clear and concise so the media can digest it quickly and present it to the people reading the publication.
When individuals reading new information are presented with something compelling they will be often inspired to act. Research must be done in order to establish the words that will compel a person to take action after reading promotional material.
Professionals who are knowledgeable about word choices will be able to help a business owner to connect with their audience through words in a vibrant and positive manner. They will also know how to write promotional material so that the vital information is presented in a quick fashion that will be easy to digest for readers.
When readers feel they are getting valuable information they cannot get elsewhere, they are more likely to remain committed to reading your releases in the future. Press releases are a way that you as a business owner can build credibility with your intended customer. Once credibility has been established, a business owner can count on making a consistent residual income in the future.

Amendments to the Singapore International Arbitration Act come into force

On 1 December 2020, the International Arbitration (Amendment) Act 2020 (the Amendment Act)1 came into force, introducing two of the proposed amendments to the Singapore International Arbitration Act (SIAA) that had been subject to public consultation in 2019. The new provisions introduced by the Amendment Act add to Singapore’s appeal as a leading arbitral seat.
First amendment – default procedure for appointment of arbitrators in multi-party arbitrations
First, the new Section 9B of the amended SIAA provides a default procedure for appointment of arbitrators in multi-party arbitrations, i.e., arbitrations where there are more than one claimants and/or respondents. Pursuant to this default procedure, in multi-party arbitrations with three arbitrators:
- all claimants are to jointly appoint an arbitrator, all respondents are to jointly appoint an arbitrator, and the two party-appointed arbitrators are to jointly appoint the third, presiding arbitrator; and
- if any of the relevant appointments cannot be agreed within the specified timeframe, the appointing authority (i.e., the President of the Court of Arbitration of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) by default) is to appoint the relevant arbitrator(s).
The amendment is aimed to reduce uncertainty and potential delay in the tribunal appointment process in multi-party arbitrations, which have become increasingly common in the recent years. Such arbitrations may involve, for example, multiple joint venture parties/shareholders or a consortium of companies whose interests may not be fully aligned. The amendment also fills a gap in the previous version of the SIAA, which only contained a default appointment procedure for bilateral arbitrations with one claimant and one respondent, and makes Singapore the first major arbitral seat to prescribe a default appointment procedure specifically designed for multi-party arbitrations.
However, the practical effect of this amendment is likely to be limited, since the default procedure only applies where parties have not agreed on another appointment procedure for multi-party arbitrations. Many major arbitral rules (including those of the SIAC2, Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC)3, and International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)4) already contain an express appointment procedure for multi-party arbitrations, and the amendment would not affect the arbitrations conducted under these rules.
Second amendment – express recognition of a tribunal and Singapore High Court’s power to enforce confidentiality obligations
Secondly, the amended SIAA expressly recognises that a Singapore-seated tribunal (pursuant to new section 12(1)(j) of the SIAA) and the Singapore High Court (pursuant to the amended section 12A(2) of the SIAA) have the power to enforce any applicable obligations of confidentiality. This power applies regardless of whether the obligations of confidentiality arise by parties’ written agreement, under any written law or rule of law (such as Singapore common law), or under any rules of arbitration adopted by the parties (such as the rules of the SIAC5 and HKIAC6).7 The amendment, which is not mirrored in the laws of competing arbitral seats like Hong Kong, does not create a new obligation of confidentiality but instead seeks to strengthen the parties’ ability to enforce existing obligations.
Potentially far-reaching proposals remain under consideration
The Amendment Act does not address other proposals that were subject to public consultation in 2019. These proposals have potentially far-reaching consequences, and have thus attracted more attention and debate than the two amendments ultimately adopted.
According to the parliamentary speech on the Amendment Act,8 the following proposals remain under consideration by the Ministry of Law: (i) the proposal to allow parties to appeal to the court on a question of law arising out of an arbitral award, provided that parties have agreed to opt into such mechanism; and (ii) the proposal to allow parties to agree to waive or limit the grounds for annulling an arbitral award. It is currently unclear if, and when, these proposals would be introduced.
The two amendments to the SIAA introduced by the Amendment Act represent a welcome development that further cements Singapore’s place as one of the leading arbitral seats in Asia, as well as the world. It is also notable that the SIAA was amended multiple times in the past decade (including in 2012, 2016, 2019 and 2020), evidencing the Singapore government’s commitment to keeping up with, as well as leading, the developments in arbitration law.
- 2016 SIAC Arbitration Rules, Rule 12.
- 2018 HKIAC Arbitration Rules, Article 8.2.
- 2021 ICC Arbitration Rules, Articles 12 (6)-(8).
- 2016 SIAC Arbitration Rules, Rule 39.
- 2018 HKIAC Arbitration Rules, Article 45.
- Cf Article 22.3 of the 2021 ICC Arbitration Rules, which authorises the tribunal to make orders concerning the confidentiality of the arbitration proceedings or of any other matters in connection with the arbitration and take measures for protecting trade secrets and confidential information, upon the request of any party.

Primitivism art is the use of primitive or tribal motifs and forms in contemporary art.
The term primitivism originated from the French word “primitif”, meaning original or primary, which was used to describe works of art created by artists who were inspired by pre-industrial societies.
Primitivism has been around for centuries and has taken many different forms throughout history.
It can be seen in cave paintings from ancient times as well as in modern-day sculptures made out of wood or stone by Native Americans who still live on reservations today.
In this guide we will explore what it means to be a primitivist artist, how they use their mediums to create pieces that reflect their views on society, what elements make up these pieces, where they come from originally (if at all), and more!
Primitivism Art in Modern Culture
Primitivism art is a popular subject in modern culture, and you can see it everywhere.
Here are some examples:
In the movie “The Lion King,” Simba’s father Mufasa was portrayed as an idealized version of a lion.
The animators used primitive art techniques to create his character design, which made him seem more majestic and regal than if he had been depicted realistically.
This technique is also used in the animated film “The Road to El Dorado.”
Primitivism has become very popular in advertising campaigns because it evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when people were closer to nature (and maybe even each other).
For example, Coca Cola recently ran an ad campaign depicting their soda cans as animals that could talk with each other through human speech bubbles–this idea was inspired by African cave paintings found at Lascaux Cave in France!
Primitivism Art Techniques
Primitivist artists used a variety of painting techniques, including:
Acrylics are water-based paints that dry quickly, allowing for multiple layers and quick changes in the artist’s mind.
They can be applied thickly or thinly depending on how much time you want to spend on your piece.
Acrylics are good for beginners because they’re easy to clean up when mistakes happen!
If you’re looking for something more permanent, try oil-based acrylics instead (they’ll last longer).
Oil paints are made by mixing pigments with linseed oil–a type of vegetable oil–and drying them into a paste that can be applied with brushes or palettes knives.
These paints take much longer than acrylics to dry because they contain more moisture;
However, this makes them ideal for blending colors together seamlessly without disturbing previous layers too much.
Primitivism Art Movement
Primitivism is an art movement that began in the early 20th century.
It was influenced by the idea that primitive cultures were more authentic than modern society, and it sought to use this concept as a way of creating new forms of expressionism.
The main artists associated with primitivism include:
- Henri Matisse (Fauvism),
- Pablo Picasso (Cubism),
- Paul Gauguin (Expressionism).
Primitivism Art in the 21st Century
Primitivism art has a history that spans centuries, but it’s not just an ancient art form.
Primitivism is still relevant today, and even more so in the 21st century than ever before!
Here are some ways you can experience primitivism in your own life:
- The internet has made it easier than ever to find new ways of expressing yourself through art.
- If you’re interested in creating digital works of primitivism, there are plenty of options available for free or low cost.
- You could try using one of these programs: Adobe
Photoshop(Windows/Mac), GIMP (Linux), Paint Tool SAI (Windows/Mac) or Krita (Linux).
Primitivism Art in Different Countries
Primitivism art is a popular movement in the United States, Europe and Asia.
The movement has been around for centuries but it gained popularity during the 20th century when artists started to create primitive-looking paintings and sculptures.
Primitivism art originated in America as a reaction against modernist aesthetics of Cubism, Constructivism and Surrealism.
It was also influenced by African American culture which was popular at that time because of jazz music among other things.
Some artists used their own photographs as inspiration while others used photographs taken by other people who had lived with tribes such as Native Americans or Australian Aborigines (Aboriginals).
The Future of Primitivism Art
As technology continues to advance, it is likely that we will see an increase in the use of digital mediums in primitivism art.
While many artists have already started incorporating these new tools into their work, there are still many who have not.
The impact of social media on primitivism art has also been significant; artists are able to connect with each other across the globe and share their work on platforms such as Instagram and Twitter.
This allows for a greater level of exposure than ever before, which can help drive sales for emerging artists who may otherwise struggle to find an audience for their work.
The future of globalization will likely play an important role in shaping how this movement evolves over time as well;
more international collaborations between artists are becoming commonplace as they continue working together despite geographic distance between them (and sometimes even language barriers).

I use different words for the same type of thing designating different types of combinations. This is a relatively simple chess lesson, more on the level of Class C maybe, but I think that the examples he gives are interesting and it is good to be reminded of these concepts because they are easy to overlook.
There is an alternative method where you use your three pieces to make a diagonal shaped wedge, and you try to force the enemy king into a smaller wedge. Although supposedly simpler to understand, in practice I find that I can become confused on how to play it. The cool thing about the above game is that you are almost guaranteed to reach the position after White's move 14, although possibly on a different edge of the board. From there you just need to know the sequence to finish it.

The Therapeutic Effect of Vitamin C in an Animal Model of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Produced by Prolonged Hindpaw Ischemia-Reperfusion in Rats.
Int J Med Sci. 2017 ;14(1):97-101. Epub 2017 Jan 15. PMID: 28138314
Jae Hun Kim
Objectives: It is known that increased free radicals from oxidative stress are one of the major causes of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). In this study, we tested the hypothesis that vitamin C has a dose-related treatment effect in a chronic post-ischemic pain (CPIP) model. Methods: A total of 49 male rats weighing 250 to 350 g were used. The 4 treatment groups were control (no medication), group 1.0 (administration of 1 mg/day for vitamin C for 5 days), group 2.5 (administration of 2.5 mg/day vitamin C for 5 days), and group 7.5 (administration of 7.5 mg/day vitamin C for 5 days). The 50% mechanical withdrawal threshold and total blood antioxidant status (TAS) were measured before and after administration of vitamin C. Results: Twenty-eight CPIP model rats were generated from 49 rats. Seven rats were randomly allocated to each group. The 50% mechanical withdrawal threshold of group 2.5 (after the administration of vitamin C) was higher than that of the control group and group 1.0 (P<0.05). At 1 day of the administration of vitamin C, the 50% mechanical withdrawal threshold of group 1.0 was higher than that of the control group and the blood levels of TAS in groups 2.5 and 7.5 were higher than that in control group (P<0.05). Twelve days after the administration of vitamin C, the blood levels of TAS in groups 2.5 and 7.5 were lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). Discussion: The administration of a proper dose of vitamin C can reduce oxidative stress, increase antioxidants, and recover the threshold for mechanical allodynia in the CPIP model.

Vietnam is often known for its civil war and with America. However, that was almost 50 years ago. There’s so much to this country than that violent history. To a true traveler Vietnam is known for its beaches, rivers, Buddhist pagodas, bustling cities, food, a rich ancient history and, proud and hardworking people who are warm, welcoming and proud of their culture and legacy. It is indeed an amazing experience exploring and discovering this and beyond in this beautiful country.
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.Alduous Huxley

The Cambodian experience starts from the capital city of Phnom Penh with its beautiful Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda, streets, markets and museums and also disturbing reminder of the genocide. It’s quite a handful. This is where you get the first taste of the delicious cuisine.
The next stop is Siem Reap, a city in contrast. During the day it is the hub of history, architecture and culture with the pristinely beautiful ruins of the ancient Khmer kingdom including the prominent Angkor Wat. During the night, the sleepy town comes alive with its vibrant night life, with its bars, live music, night markets and more.
One place, which is very difficult to leave and if you do you will want to come back.
We have a sample itinerary, but much more can be done in Cambodia if one has time like cycle trips,climbing Kulen Mountain and much more.
- Day 1 / Fly to Ho Chi Minh – Half day city tour (B)
- Arrival Ho Chi Minh, you will be welcomed by the guide and driver and taken for half-day tour of Ho Chi Minh City. We will visit the Reunification Palace, the former Presidential Palace for the president of the South of Vietnam. After that we will visit War Remnant Museum, where we can see countless artifacts, photographs and pictures documenting about the second Indochina war. We will also stop at Notre Dame Cathedral and Old Post office to get good shots for our memory of the big, modern city of Vietnam. Rest of the day, we will visit: Ben Thanh market, and then we will be back to the hotel and have free time in Ho Chi Minh.
- Day 2 / Ho Chi Minh – Mekong Tour (B,L)
- After breakfast, we drive to Cai Be for our visit to floating market and island. The program will start with the visit of Cai Be colourful floating market cruising among local barges full of fruits and vegetables. Then, an optional stop can be made at local workshops where we can see how rice paste, coconut candy and pop-rice, popcorn is made. The rowing boat will take us deeper into the countryside on smaller canals and to enjoy the peaceful time. It is so interesting to see traditional houses made of wood and palm tree leaves and see some activities of the local farmers with an opportunity to make contacts with them and see how they catch fish... Lunch will be served at a local home. After lunch, we can walk around and then we will enjoy some kinds of fruits when listening to the traditional music. One more thing to do in this trip is biking! It will be so amazing to bike on village paths to see the local farms, houses, real life and the ancestral ways to pick up fruits in Mekong Delta. The cruise will end at Vinh Long city where we take our own vehicle back to Ho Chi Minh City.
- Day 3 / Ho Chi Minh – Fly to Danang – Hoi An – walking tour (B)
- Time will be free until our guide takes you to airport and flight to Danang. On arrival at the airport we will meet up the local tour guide in the morning then we will be transferred or we will walk down to the downtown for our walking tour. We will start our walking tour around the ancient town to visit the Japanese Covered Bridge, the Pottery Museum, Tan Ky old house, the Cantonese congregation, the silk street of Hoi An, the temples and pagodas of Chinese appearance.

Chad Stahelski is a martial artist, a stuntman, an actor, and a director. He is best known as the stunt double for Keanu Reeves on the Matrix (1999). He then worked as martial arts stunt coordinator on the Matrix sequels and doubled Keanu Reeves for extreme shots.
He began studying martial arts as a child after seeing a Bruce Lee movie. He later trained and taught at the Inosanto Academy of Martial Arts in California, teaching Jeet Kune Do. He became a competitive kickboxer and was one of the first Americans to compete in the mixed martial arts competition of Shooto in Japan. Before he began his stunt career he had already won numerous MMA titles.
After performing a martial arts demonstration which included kicks, backflips along with all the other extreme martial arts tricking he was asked by a stunt coordinator if he was interested in becoming a stunt double. He then worked for Albert Pyun director of Kickboxer 2: The Road Back (1991).
Chad Stahelski entered the film industry as a stunt performer at the age of 24. He began accepting various roles in low budget martial art movies including Mission of Justice (1992) and Bloodsport III (1996). His began working as a stunt double in the movie The Crow (1994), doubling for Brandon Lee, both of whom had trained together at the Inosanto Academy. After Brandon Lee’s lethal accident Chad was chosen as his stunt/photo double because he knew Lee, he could move like Lee, and Chad looked more like Brandon Lee than any of the other stuntman.

How Many Chicken Nuggets Can You Eat
You can eat as many chicken nuggets as you want, but the average person can only eat about 10-12 before they’re full.
Are you a fan of chicken nuggets? If so, how many can you eat in one sitting?
According to a recent poll, the average person can eat about six chicken nuggets in one sitting.
But there are some people who can eat much more than that! In fact, one man from Texas holds the record for eating the most chicken nuggets in one sitting. He ate an impressive 48 chicken nuggets in just 10 minutes!
So, if you’re ever feeling competitive, see how many chicken nuggets you can eat in one go. Just make sure you have plenty of napkins on hand!
Can a Human Eat 50 Mcnuggets?
Can a human eat 50 McNuggets? Well, technically, yes. But would it be wise to do so?
Probably not. The average McDonald’s Chicken McNugget is about 40 calories. So, 50 McNuggets would be around 2,000 calories.
That’s a lot of calories for one meal! And most of those calories come from fat and sugar. So, eating 50 McNuggets is not going to do your body any favors.
Plus, you’d probably end up feeling pretty sick after eating that many McNuggets. All that grease and salt is likely to give you indigestion or an upset stomach. So, while you can technically eat 50 McNuggets, it’s probably not the best idea.
Is It Healthy to Eat 20 Chicken Nuggets?
No, it is not healthy to eat 20 chicken nuggets. Chicken nuggets are generally unhealthy because they are high in fat and calories. They also tend to be high in sodium and preservatives.
Can I Eat Chicken Nuggets Daily?
There are a lot of factors to consider when trying to answer this question. First, it is important to think about what is in chicken nuggets. Most chicken nuggets are made with white meat chicken and are breaded or battered.
They also usually contain salt, preservatives, and other additives. While chicken nuggets can be a part of a healthy diet, eating them every day is not recommended. One problem with eating chicken nuggets every day is that they are typically high in sodium.
The American Heart Association recommends that people consume no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. A single serving of some popular brands of chicken nuggets can contain over half of the daily recommended amount of sodium. This can lead to high blood pressure and other health problems over time.
Another concern with eating chicken nuggets every day is that they are often fried in unhealthy oils. This means that they are likely to be high in saturated and trans fats, which can raise your cholesterol levels and increase your risk for heart disease. Chicken nuggets that are baked or grilled instead of fried may be a healthier option, but you would still need to limit your intake if you ate them every day.
In general, it is best to eat a variety of foods as part of a healthy diet rather than consuming the same foods every day.
How Many Chicken Nuggets Can You Eat in One Minute?
Assuming you’re talking about the average fast food chicken nugget, most people can eat between 6 and 12 in one minute. Of course, this depends on the size of the nuggets and how fast you can chew/swallow.
The 120 Chicken McNugget Challenge REVISITED (solo)
How Many Chicken Nuggets Can You Eat in One Sitting before You Die
How Many Chicken Nuggets Can You Eat in One Sitting before You Die?
This is a question that has been on many people’s minds. The answer, unfortunately, is not as straightforward as one might hope.
There are a few factors that come into play when determining how many chicken nuggets one can safely consume in a single sitting. These include the size and weight of the individual, their metabolism, and any preexisting medical conditions they may have. That being said, there is no definitive answer to this question.
However, some experts believe that the average person could probably eat around 48 chicken nuggets before reaching the point of death. So, if you’re feeling particularly brave (or hungry), go ahead and give it a try! Just be sure to let us know how it goes.
How Many Chicken Nuggets Can You Eat before You Get Paralyzed
Are you a fan of chicken nuggets? If so, you might be interested to know that there is such a thing as eating too many chicken nuggets. In fact, if you eat enough chicken nuggets, you could potentially end up paralyzed.
So how many chicken nuggets does it take to reach this point? Well, it depends on the person and their tolerance for poultry. However, one study found that consuming just six grams of raw chicken liver per day can lead to paralysis in some people.
That’s equivalent to about two or three chicken nuggets. Of course, not everyone is going to get paralyzed from eating a few extra chicken nuggets. It’s likely that you would have to consume an excessive amount of them before seeing any serious side effects.
But it’s still something to be aware of if you’re planning on indulging in this fast food favorite. So next time you’re at the drive-thru, think twice before ordering that extra large order of chicken nuggets. Your health (and your ability to walk) may depend on it!
How Many Chicken Nuggets Can the Average Person Eat
It is a well-known fact that the average person can eat a lot of chicken nuggets. But just how many chicken nuggets can the average person eat?
According to a study conducted by the National Chicken Council, the average person can eat about four and a half pounds of chicken nuggets in one sitting.
That’s about 200 chicken nuggets! So, if you’re ever feeling hungry and want to see just how many chicken nuggets you can consume, go for it! You might be surprised at how much you can actually eat.
How Many Chicken Nuggets Should I Eat
Are you a fan of chicken nuggets? If so, have you ever stopped to think about how many chicken nuggets you should eat in one sitting?
If you’re like most people, you probably don’t give it much thought.
After all, chicken nuggets are delicious and they’re usually pretty small, so it’s easy to mindlessly pop them into your mouth without thinking too much about it. But believe it or not, there is such a thing as eating too many chicken nuggets. In fact, if you eat too many chicken nuggets in one sitting, you could end up feeling sick or even throwing up.
So how many chicken nuggets should you eat in one sitting? The answer may surprise you. According to some experts, the safe limit is 10 chicken nuggets.
Any more than that and you’re putting yourself at risk for overeating or worse. Of course, this advice is based on an average-sized person. If you’re smaller than average, you may be able to get away with eating a few more chicken nuggets without consequences.
And if you’re larger than average, 10 chicken nuggets may not be enough to fill you up. Ultimately, it’s important to listen to your body and stop eating when you feel full. But if you’re looking for a guideline, 10 seems to be the magic number when it comes to enjoying chicken nuggets without overdoing it.
Assuming you’re talking about the blog post titled “How Many Chicken Nuggets Can You Eat” by S.E. Smith:
S.E. Smith set out to answer a question that has plagued fast food lovers for years: how many chicken nuggets can one person eat? After eating 30 chicken nuggets from McDonald’s, Smith was feeling pretty good.
But after downing 40, things started to get a little dicey. By the time they reached 50 nuggets, they were feeling downright sick and had to call it quits. So, it looks like the answer to the age-old question is 50 chicken nuggets – at least for S.E. Smith.

As Snack Boys prepares to open its new East Side location in the former Hotel Foster / Globe East, 2028 E. North Ave., next week, we got another peek at the colorful murals painted inside over the winter by local installation artist Kristina Rolander.
Tune in on Friday for an off-shoot of the Quarantine Kitchen series featuring local chefs cooking up simple dishes in their home or restaurant kitchens. These episodes will air on Fridays at 1:00 p.m. Here's what we're cooking up this week.
The owners of Snack Boys will show off their more serious side with a new venture inside the new 17-room Dubbel Dutch boutique hotel on Milwaukee's lower East Side.
The time has come to get your last trip to Snack Boys, 814 S. Second St., in Walker's Point before they close briefly to make their big move to the East Side.
Technically, the new decade doesn't begin until 2021 (or so the experts at the Farmers Almanac say). However, as we move into 2020, there's little harm in taking a look back at how far we've come. After all, the Milwaukee dining scene in 2010 was a far cry from what it is today.
For the fourth year in a row, this Walker's Point gem has won over your hearts, minds and stomachs to be called the best small plates restaurant in Milwaukee. Odd Duck gave La Merenda a run for their money this year, but last years winner stayed on top for another year.
Yes, Milwaukee. The rumors are true. Snack Boys is moving. John Revord and Mitch Ciohon are dishing up all the snackable details.
Little more than two years ago, it was easy to be blissfully unaware of CBD. But not anymore. We talk with Chef Mitch Ciohon of Snack Boys and Colin Plant, cannabidiol expert and owner of Canni in Walker's Point about the phenomenon.
On a new episode of "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" Monday night themed on "culinary revolutions," chef and "Chopped" judge Scott Conant shined his spotlight on Chef Mitchell Ciohon and the tots with caviar at Snack Boys Snack Bar.
A bar slinging "cocktails, cold beer and other remedies" is slated to open soon in the former home of Urban Bay View.
It's the most wonderful time of the year. No, not Christmas (though considering the cold temperatures and chance of snow, you could've had us fooled) - Milwaukee Day! And here's how to celebrate Cream City in style.
Snack Boys officially opens to the public today at 4:30 p.m. And - if you believe in having fun and eating delicious things - you might want to put a visit on your list of must-do's.
It looks like Snack Boys, the new restaurant at 814 S. 2nd St., is just about two weeks away from opening. If you believe what you read on the internet, that is.
There are time when leaving your expectations at the door is entirely the right protocol. Such will be the case at the forthcoming Snack Boys, a restaurant expected to open in the former All Purpose space at 814 S. 2nd St. sometime in mid-to-late December.


Split air conditioner on second story units
Western Sydney Solar & Electrical
Western Sydney Solar & Electrical working in with Macquarie Towns Refrigeration to install this split air conditioning system in a second story unit. The challenge we had was that we had no cavities in the walls or the roof space. So the solution was to run trunking through the laundry in a desirable position and run wiring through surface mounted conduit on the outside of the building. The customer was happy with the neat job and is looking forward to a very warm winter inside this year.

Thank you so much. I've seen one other dev (maybe 2?) who are trans floating around doing work in GBstudio. I'm glad to see someone else joining in. There's something really neat about seeing trans people exist in retro gaming stuff in a positive way so I'm really looking forward to seeing what you have planned. Good luck!
I don't want to pressure you or anything but when you finish your game I'd be thrilled if you let me know. I'd love to have a new trans gameboy game to play.

We’ve learned a lot about the nuts-and-bolts technical advances Toyota has made with new Prius, but the work invested in the car’s design and packaging has also had a big impact on its performance and its practicality as day-to-day transport, helping it tick all the right boxes for motorists in terms of cabin space, comfort and load-carrying ability.
On the outside there is no mistaking Prius’ design heritage, its smooth one-piece ‘monobox’ design is a clear development of the second-generation model. It hasn’t simply been a case of fitting new lights and doorhandles, though. Every detail has been reassessed to help achieve the most aerodynamic design, with the result that new Prius cuts through the air more efficiently than its predecessor, and better than any other hatchback on the market.
This is acknowledged in its drag coefficient (Cd) – the industry standard measurement of aerodynamic efficiency – which is 0.25, down from the 0.26 of the previous model.
Allied to the use of tyres with low rolling resistance and the weight-saving benefits of the aluminium and high-tensile steel used to make the car, this aerodynamic efficiency makes a major contribution to Prius’ fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions.
Toyota describes its design thinking as ‘minimum outside, maximum inside’. Working on the basis of its ECO-ICON concept model, it has produced something we think looks sleek and contemporary, without being bland.
There are plenty of neat touches you might not notice at first glance. For example, although the car has the same overall height, the highest point of the roof has been moved further back, which means more headroom for rear seat passengers. Even the shape of the corners of each bumper has been finely calculated, to keep a smooth flow of air over the car and prevent efficiency-sapping turbulence. Out of sight beneath the car there is an array of covers and spats, each playing a part in the smooth flow of the air passing under the vehicle.
At the car’s media launch, Chief Engineer Akihiko Otsuwa was particularly proud of the way clever design and packaging has made the interior more roomy: although Prius’ wheelbase is the same as before at 2.7 metres – the same as an Avensis – there is more usable space inside.
The new dashboard design adds 10mm to the overall cabin length, while the front seats have new, slimmer seatbacks that help produce 20mm more rear seat legroom. The boot is bigger, too, thanks in part to the Hybrid Synergy Drive battery being more compact. With seats up there’s 445 litres available, while flat-folding the rear seats frees up a huge 1,120-litre total.
In golf bag terms I’m told that’s space enough for three sets of clubs; for non-golfers we have yet to discover what that means in terms of loading white goods or supermarket shopping, but we reckon it will more than meet the needs of a family of four.

After watching gameplay of Pendulo Studio's new game 'Yesterday', i was keen to see what other titles they had to offer. Looking at earlier titles from the company i wasn't exspecting too much in ways of gameplay/storyline as these games lacked the reviews that Yesterday had received. I'm not sure if i just wasn't paying attention when they came out, but this was the first i had heard of these titles.
For a point and click game 'The Next BIG Thing' did not dissapoint, providing a variety of areas and 'puzzles' to last a few solid hours. Being a somewhat indie title i didn't bank on the game being the standard 9hrs but was pleasntly surprized by the games 2-3hr playtime.
Some of the puzzles are insanely complex and require you to either be playing on easy for hints or to have access to a walkthrough (praise google!). As certain items open up key dialogue etc, without the game informing you as such.
Overall the story is rather weird but seems to work rather well with the genre. The game takes a while to get used to and seems to require some prior knowledge of controls as well as some minor character information. These things seemed easy enough to overcome and fill in the gaps yourself.
tldr: This is a very fun game for those who like a good puzzle/adventure/point and click! Also its on sale at the moment for $2.50 and its well worth the price tag.

Good day folks!
As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), on June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) raised the worldwide pandemic alert level to Phase 6 in response to the ongoing global spread of the novel influenza A (H1N1) virus. A Phase 6 designation indicates that a global pandemic is underway.
More than 70 countries are now reporting cases of human infection with novel H1N1 flu. This number has been increasing over the past few weeks, but many of the cases reportedly had links to travel or were localized outbreaks without community spread. The WHO designation of a pandemic alert Phase 6 reflects the fact that there are now ongoing community level outbreaks in multiple parts of world.
WHO’s decision to raise the pandemic alert level to Phase 6 is a reflection of the spread of the virus, not the severity of illness caused by the virus.
You can do simple things to protect yourself and your loved ones from the H1N1 Flu...click the link below to learn more:
PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM THE H1N1 FLU
And don't forget to share the word with friends and family!
Your Partner in Health,
Good day folks,
Recently, we've been bombarded with much fear and hype about the outbreak of the Swine (H1N1) Flu. Yes, caution and concern are warranted, but not panic, though it's at a pandemic level.
Visit the blogs sites below to keep abreast of what you need to do in terms of taking precautions as well as practical advice on how to cope with not only this outbreak, but what you need to know and why it is important to maintain your immune system in top shape:
Blog Article #1: Protecting Yourself From the H1N1 Flu
By reading this blog article, you will be well informed about swine (H1N1) flu, which will help you take necessary steps to prevent you from contracting the virus and help educate others, who may be panic stricken due to this outbreak.
The outbreak of the H1N1 Flu has caused much panic amongst the masses and there seems to be confusion all around. I think it's ok to be concerned about the situation, but panic is not warranted. Preparedness to deal with the recent H1N1 Flu is good, but preparedness by being ill-informed does not help the situation and this is exactly the sort of thing that creates panic.
Blog Article #2: The Importance of Nutrition, Diet & Exercise
Understanding the function of your immune system will help you learn how to maximize its efficiency and reap long-term health benefits. Once you understand the importance of protecting your immune system, you will be able to take necessary steps to live healthy and be more effective in everything you do.
Taking care of your health should be a lifestyle and one of our top priorities - it may be difficult to start off, especially if you've neglected your health over the years, but once you get into the habit, it will come naturally and the benefits are priceless!
To Healthy Living!

Florida’s top elections official said Tuesday that voters should be confident in the state’s voting process, including when casting ballots by mail.
But when asked about the 2020 presidential election, Secretary of State Cord Byrd said there were “irregularities” in other states and refused to say whether President Joe Biden won the election.
Byrd, who served in the Florida House until Gov. Ron DeSantis tapped the Neptune Beach Republican as secretary of state earlier this month, told reporters that Florida needs to be proactive in combating efforts to interfere with upcoming elections.
"Voting is a right and we want to encourage everybody that wants to exercise that right that they have that ability,” he said prior to addressing the Florida Supervisors of Elections association at the group’s mid-winter conference in Miramar Beach.
“You just heard in some of the training this morning that we send out cards to people who are eligible to vote but unregistered,” Byrd added. “So, we are doing our part at the state level and the supervisors are doing their part at the county level to provide as much information, as much access to the ballot as humanly possible."
DeSantis’ May 13 appointment of Byrd, who was at the forefront of some of the most controversial legislation supported by the governor, to succeed Laurel Lee immediately drew pushback from Democrats. Lee stepped down from the post to run for Congress.
House Democrats were quick to question Byrd’s temperament, calling him a “conspiracy theorist” and a “hyper-partisan GOP loyalist.”
In March, DeSantis appointed Byrd’s wife, Esther, to the State Board of Education.
The Byrds left Twitter after Esther Byrd drew criticism for tweeting about the storming of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump on Jan. 6, 2021.
Asked Tuesday about the 2020 presidential contest, Byrd repeatedly said that Biden was certified for the office by Congress.
But when pressed about whether Biden won the election Trump, Byrd pointed to issues with voting in several other states.
“He was certified as the president. He is the president of the United States,” Byrd said of Biden. “There were irregularities in certain states. … I'm not the secretary of state of Wisconsin or Pennsylvania or Arizona. That's up to their voters. We in Florida had a successful election in 2020. And that's what I want to continue to have in 2022.”
Florida’s 2020 election was “successful and accurate. The governor has made that clear,” Byrd said. Trump defeated Biden by more than three percentage points in Florida.
“But we also know that people want to interfere and sow chaos, and they get smarter and more creative,” Byrd added, defending controversial election-law measures approved by state lawmakers over the past two years. “Just like you don’t wait until there is a fire in your house to buy a fire extinguisher, we can’t wait for a problem to surface to address it when it comes to election laws.”
As part of their conference Tuesday morning, elections supervisors shared repetitive steps they continue to take to keep ballots secure as they implement recent changes to the voting process.
“We are all going to be under a microscope this year like we have never ever been,” St. Johns County Supervisor of Elections Vicky Oakes told her colleagues.
After Trump's defeat in 2020, Republicans across the country argued that steps needed to be taken to combat voter fraud.
The GOP-controlled Florida Legislature last year approved a sweeping election-law measure that in part restricts supervisors’ use of “drop boxes” for submitting vote-by-mail ballots, prevents groups from providing items such as food and water to voters waiting in line at polling places, and imposes additional regulations on voter-registration organizations.
Voting-rights groups filed a lawsuit challenging the 2021 law, arguing that it was intended to make it harder for Black and Hispanic Floridians to register and vote. Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker ruled that the law was unconstitutionally intended to discriminate against Black voters. But a three-judge panel of the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals this month put Walker’s ruling on hold, meaning the controversial law will almost certainly be kept in place for the 2022 elections.
The Legislature this year passed a measure, championed by DeSantis, expanding the 2021 law and creating a first-of-its-kind Office of Election Crimes and Security in the Department of State to investigate voting irregularities. The law, signed by the governor in April, also made other changes to the state’s elections system.
DeSantis has said that Byrd will ensure the state’s elections will be “run efficiently and transparently” and that the new laws should give Floridians “more confidence” about the voting process.
Byrd said Tuesday more changes may be needed following the 2022 election cycle.
"We don't want to change the law and change anything else coming into the election officials. We've already put enough on their plate,” Byrd said. “But certainly, after the 2022 election, there will be time to contemplate and see what other improvements we can make."
In defending the new election crimes office, Byrd said the agency with 15 non-sworn officers will consolidate state and local efforts, similar to how federal terrorism was addressed after the 9/11 attacks.
Byrd indicated that work already may be lined up for the new office, which will be staffed by data analysts and former law enforcement workers, as soon as its director is hired.
“We have potential cases that may be ready once that person, the director, is in place,” he said.

I like the vibrancy of primary colours but don't often stick to just those three colours.
I would like to enter my card into these challenges:
Clear It Out Challenge - Anything Goes
Brown Sugar - At least two colours (three)
One Stitch At A Time - Anything Goes + Thanks
I have used a paper from Rosie's Studio in blue and red. The image is from Stitchy Stamps and is coloured with copic markers B29, B24, R24, R17, R14, Y06, Y02. I also coloured three pearls to match using B29, Y06, R46. The matting is red cardstock. I used a spotted ribbon from American Crafts to thread through the ribbon slider. The ribbon slider is a Spellbinders die and the sentiment is from Create with TLC.


Scoil and Droichid seeking extra pupil places
A growing Irish language school hopes to admit even more pupils ahead of a move into a new building.
Scoil an Droichid wants to increase its admissions from 145 to 182 next year.
The bunscoil opened in 1997 to provide primary age children in south and east Belfast the opportunity to be educated through the medium of Irish.
It is the only Irish-medium school on that side of the city and its numbers are above its official capacity and growing annually.
It currently operates from modular buildings in the lower Ormeau area and many of these are in a poor state.
The Education Authority (EA) has agreed to let it re-locate onto the site of the former Ulidia PS where it will be given "modern, fit-for-purpose accommodation".
A business case has been approved by the Department for Education.
Ulidia served the Ballynafeigh area of Ormeau Road. While this is a mixed area, it has experienced controversies in recent years when union and Northern Ireland flags were flown from lampposts.
In advance of the move, the school is seeking an increase in pupil numbers. It is the latest such proposal to come from the ever-expanding Irish-medium sector.
Campaigners predict that the number of children being educated through Irish will increase significantly over the next four years.
Research from Comhairle na Gaelscolaíochta (CnaG), the council for Irish-medium education, also predicted an almost 100 per cent rise over a 15-year period.
In 2006/07, the sector educated 3,660 children. This increased to 5,873 last year - up 60 per cent.
CnaG predicts that by 2021, there will be 7,220 children receiving education through Irish.
A case for change document, published by the EA ahead of a public consultation, said Scoil an Droichid was "a sustainable school".
"It is an emerging school with strong enrolments which is moving forward each year and given the proper accommodation, site and facilities will continue to offer high quality education through the medium of Irish for many years to come," the EA said.
"The long-term benefits of this proposal would be recognised not only within Scoil an Droichid but also across multiple levels of IM provision.
"An increase in the approved admissions for primary provision would result in greater numbers leaving the IM sector at the end of Primary 7 and consequently, add to the potential pool of pupils for IM post-primary provision in Belfast."

Whaddya call a cynical, Brecht-besotted musical that snarls its way through a dark story of corporate greed, government corruption, and the remorseless exploitation of the poor?
Hilarious, if it’s Urinetown, the fringe-born anti-musical that made such a New York splash back in 2001. No, wait: If it’s Urinetown and it’s staged as cuttingly as it’s being staged by Joe Calarco at the Signature Theatre. The jokes, it turns out, aren’t all that funny on the page, and the elbows the show keeps flinging in the direction of politics and showbiz aren’t that much sharper than those flung in any given episode of Saturday Night Live. But style and precision and commitment can turn a so-so satire into a sparkling sendup, and Signature’s production serves up style and precision and commitment by the bowlful. Also wit—and a wicked sort of relish that makes the whole business positively irresistible.
The story’s a sublimely ridiculous thing: In a nameless, drought-plagued dystopia not unlike the grimy Gothams of more familiar legends, a 20-year water shortage has made private bathrooms an unthinkable indulgence. Public toilets are the only option, going in the bushes is strictly forbidden, and with the monopolistic Urine Good Company keeping an iron grip on pissoirs and politicos alike, anyone who won’t pay to pee faces a short, swift trip to exile in the title ’burg—which may not be the penal colony everyone imagines. (Hint: Soylent Green is people!)
Enter empty-headed hero Billy Strong (Will Gartshore), who’s been working as an enforcer at Public Amenity No. 9, “one of the poorest, filthiest urinals in town,” and pretty Hope Cladwell (Erin Driscoll), the beaming blond daughter of the grasping CEO of UGC (Christopher Bloch). Inspired by Hope’s naive idealism (she’s been off “at the most expensive university in the world!” until quite recently) and galvanized to action by the harsh punishment that meets his father’s heedless violation of the no-shrubbery laws, brawny Bobby leads a people’s rising: “You made me to see, fantastically clear, when people pee free, we’ve nothing to fear,” he burbles to Hope in a stirring anthem straight outta Les Miserables. Need we mention it ends badly?
That’s one of the most delicious things about Urinetown, actually: There’s a smirk and a shrug tangled up in the snarling social criticism, a cheerful pessimism that mocks the pie-eyed, can-do, hope-will-triumph spirit of the American musical. Bobby’s revolution succeeds, but soon enough some of the shine has come off the socialist triumph; Hope morphs inevitably into a soullessly sloganeering chief executive presiding over a collapsing state, and the evening ends with a dehydrated population and—to the audible delight of a half-dozen glass-half-emptiers in the opening-night audience—a merry shout-out to Malthus, courtesy of the corrupt cop who’s been helpfully explaining plot points all evening.
Oh, yes indeed, the mixed feelings extend to the show’s structure. There are dead-on swipes at everything from Evita to West Side Story to Our Town, and in every self-consciously stirring staging gesture Calarco cooks up, there’s a knowing wink about how manipulative it all is. That bad boy in blue (Stephen F. Schmidt) keeps stepping out of the action to deconstruct, with a kind of menacing patience, various musical-theater expectations—ostensibly for the benefit of a grimy orphan girl who seems to know more about such things than he does, but really to rub the audience’s nose ever so gently in the lowness of those expectations. It’s all just about as coy and self-referential as it can be, but so savagely unsentimental that it never curdles.
Gartshore’s long been a Signature favorite, but he hasn’t always been one of mine. Here, though—he’s absolutely at the top of his game, I have to say. Billy’s tunes fit his handsome tenor pretty ideally, and Calarco has coached him into a physically uninhibited, comically confident performance so perfectly pitched that the look-ma-it’s-parody never tips into self-indulgence. It’s first-rate stuff. Likewise for the terrific ensemble around him: They’re all reading from the same page, tongues firmly in cheek but absolutely invested in what they’re doing—a balance that’s harder than it sounds to strike.
Donna Migliaccio turns Billy’s bathroom-tending boss into a Class A harridan with a heart—she’s in fine form, and just watching the huddled masses recoil from her high notes is worth the ticket. Bonus, then, that the admission also includes plenty of face time with Sherri L. Edelen’s wild-haired crone, Evan Casey’s loose-limbed, slack-faced vaudevillian doofus, and Jenna Sokolowski’s wide-eyed, lollipop-innocent Little Sally—the last carrying a beat-up baby doll so tragic it’s a comic character in itself. Thomas Adrian Simpson’s bought-’n’-paid-for senator steps in straight out of a Marx Brothers reel; Bloch’s ruthless capitalist gleefully waggles a cigar, which is doubtless just a cigar.
Calarco comes at the show with an obsessive’s appetite for detail—it’s the clean, crisp execution of his jokes, as much as their cleverness, that makes the evening—and a master parodist’s instinct for both the epic and the absurd. And a drag queen’s knack for budget spectacle: James Kronzer’s wooden platform set may seem minimalist, but it’s surprisingly flexible and thoroughly well-thought-out. Even the lighting and sound schemes, courtesy of Chris Lee and Tony Angelini, have a distinct sense of humor—who knew a spotlight cue plus a triangle chime could add up to such a big laugh? And Karma Camp’s triumphantly cheeky choreography steals arms from Alvin Ailey, angles from Bob Fosse, and, inevitably, whole assemblies of the unwashed from Trevor Nunn. Giving too much away about the last would be criminal, but let’s just say the mop sent me right over the edge, guffawing as I went.
Somehow the pace never flags and the jokes keep building, and by the time Amy McWilliams’ sweet Old Ma Strong lies thirstily expiring at the lip of the stage, listening to a chipper Hope exhort her to remember that “you are the river,” Urinetown’s pungent message has been made abundantly clear. Of course, savvy Little Sally has her doubts as to the marketability of a show about the audience’s unsustainable way of life: “I don’t think too many people are going to come see this musical,” she says woefully as she and Schmidt’s Officer Lockstock step to the footlights one last time.
Sweet, smudgy Little Sally: It’s a real pleasure to contradict you.
The Wildean quips on war and weaselly journalists, not to mention the bit about the cell phones, are directorial liberties, most likely. But they’re well-chosen pre-show warm-ups, especially given that playwright Moisés Kaufman stitched Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde together almost entirely from newspaper narratives, trial transcripts, and the memoirs of the men concerned. Washington audiences saw the play in an overupholstered Studio Theatre production some years back, and it seemed a smart if sometimes painfully slow take on a shameful bit of history. Now, with a fluid, fast-moving staging and a fine ensemble cast anchored by three remarkably confident students from the North Carolina School of the Arts, Theater Alliance Artistic Director Jeremy Skidmore makes a convincing case for the play as a durable addition to the canon—and for the moment it examines as a Western-culture watershed.
Skidmore’s light-on-its-feet production underscores the docudrama conceit with a book-strewn boxing ring of a set—it was the Marquess of Queensbury, he of the pugilists’ rules, who set London a-whispering about Oscar Wilde’s queerness, remember?—by Jacob Muehlhausen, lit with aggressive eloquence by Andrew E. Cissna. And the director points up the poignancy in Kaufman’s analysis with staging fillips that emphasize the human failings dominoing one upon another in the tale of Wilde’s downfall: Wilde’s fatal overconfidence, the privileged petulance of his aristocratic young lover, the craven hypocrisy of their peers, and the hollowness of Victorian “morality” all get outlined subtly but unmistakably.
Stepping off to the sidelines after a brief excursion in the present, a Wilde scholar (Dan Via) glares resentfully at Andrew Pastides’ Lord Alfred Douglas, whose selfish machinations, in Kaufman’s account, seem to have been part of why Wilde launched his seemingly suicidal libel suit. A waffling prosecutor (Chance Carroll) wobbles visibly, guiltily, when a hard-line colleague suggests that going easy on Wilde could confirm public suspicion about degeneracy in the ranks of London’s officialdom. In one of Skidmore’s fluid, fast-paced scene transitions, Cooper D’Ambrose’s Wilde even hands the gavel to the presiding judge—a surrender of a gesture confirming that he, as much as his uncomprehending countrymen, set the cataclysm of his trials in motion.
The staging’s devices aren’t always equal to its desires: An indulgent bit of slo-mo in Act 2 dissipates the tension Skidmore’s been working hard to maintain through the second and third trials—necessarily repetitive exercises whose ultimate outcome is all too clearly foregone. Performances are pretty thoroughly polished all round, though, and once the end is reached, an inspired bit of direction puts the focus squarely for a moment on the art whose allure was part and parcel of what Wilde’s attackers wanted to destroy. Wilde’s words, in the end, are what Skidmore leaves us with—words, and gratitude that they outlasted those who’d have silenced them. CP


I am concerned about IPv6 traffic infiltrating my network before I'm ready to accept it. Do I need to configure an IPv6 ACL to deny any any IPv6 traffic if I'm only using IPv4? Can you have both an IPv4 and IPv6 ACL configured on the same interface?
Do you even have ipv6 unicast-routing in your configuration? If no, you don't have to concern about IPv6 traffic. You can apply IPv6 ACL on the IPv4 interface, but they are not going to do anything.
Here is a reference on how to do IPv6 ACL


MINISTER OPENS MITCHELSTOWN SCHOOL LABORATORIES
Education Minister, Batt O’Keeffe TD, was in Mitchelstown this week to officially cut the ribbon at the new science and technology labs at St Fanahan’s College. The minister was welcomed to St Fanahan’s by principal, Colman Murphy, with the students and staff on hand to show off their state-of-the-art science labs which cost over €250,000.
“The new laboratories will bolster the delivery of the school’s curriculum for all the students both at second level of course the adult education students as well,” Minister O’Keeffe said.
Minister O’Keeffe went on to encourage more students to choose science, engineering and technology subjects: “Especially in these severely difficult economic times, we must continue to ensure a steady supply of science graduates. Here in Cork, we have attracted eight of the top 10 global firms in the electronics, telecommunication, information communications technology, health and pharmaceutical sectors.
"St Fanahan’s College has always promoted practical education among its students and these new laboratories will help to build on that record and prepare the next generation for the challenges of the smart economy,” the minister added.
The work on the new science labs at St Fanahan’s was completed as part of the Department of Education’s Summer Works Scheme.
“We have submitted an application to the minister for more funds under this scheme so that we regenerate our home economics labs,” principal, Colman Murphy, told The Avondhu.
Minister O’Keeffe was also on hand to unveil St Fanahan’s entry that has qualified for the All Ireland final in the F1 Challenge. The minister was impressed at the high levels of design and professionalism on display at the college.

DHS to Shield Majority of Illegal Aliens From Deportation, Including Mentally Ill CriminalsChris Menahan

Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is no longer going to "deport people solely because they are undocumented" and is advising ICE to consider shielding mentally ill criminals from deportation in the name of "achieving justice."
CNBC on Thursday ran an article titled: "U.S. will no longer deport people solely because they are undocumented, Homeland Security secretary says."
"Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Thursday said immigration officers can no longer detain and deport people from the U.S. solely because they are undocumented," CNBC reported.
"The fact an individual is a removable noncitizen will not alone be the basis of an enforcement action against them," Mayorkas' new guidelines state.
None of the thousands of illegal aliens he's allowing to march into our country every single day are "undocumented."
They are fully documented, they just throw their documents in the garbage before crossing because they know that means Mayorkas will give them special treatment and allow them to stay.
Mayorkas announced his new policy in a statement on DHS.gov:
Secretary Mayorkas Announces New Immigration Enforcement PrioritiesMayorkas is stripping American citizens of their rights by putting them no the No Fly List for being enemies of the Biden regime and forcing employers to mandate their employees take experimental injections from Big Pharma but the rights of illegal aliens are sacrosanct!
As former ICE senior advisor Jon Feere highlighted on Twitter, Mayorkas' new guidance tells ICE to consider shielding mentally ill criminal illegal aliens from deportation:
Mayorkas said that committing domestic violence should also no longer be considered grounds for deportation in itself:
Drunk driving is also no longer grounds for deportation in itself:
Mayorkas also announced he's going to be ending the Remain-in-Mexico policy even though a court ordered him to restart it just weeks ago:
Mayorkas emptied the Haitian migrant camp under the Del Rio International Bridge by simply releasing the overwhelming majority of illegal aliens -- over 12,000 according to his own numbers -- throughout the US.
By his own admission, 1 in 5 illegal border crossers are sick with "illnesses."
Nonetheless, though perfectly healthy Americans face mandatory covid testing and mandatory vaccines on the orders of the Biden regime, illegal aliens are exempt from both.
Mayorkas is 100% committed to flooding this country with as many illegal aliens as possible.
Mayorkas has filled DHS with people who literally hate our country and our people and declared "white extremists" our country's greatest threat.
