Special Operations Speaks PAC, an organization to educate Americans about threats to the United States, has started a petition to impeach Hillary Clinton – and so far, nearly 31,000 have signed.
“Fact is, congressional precedent dictates that all elected officials remain subject to impeachment and disqualification from holding office even after resignation,” SOS said, on its website.
As such: the PAC says Clinton must go.
“[SOS] is calling on the United States Congress to impeach former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ pursuant to Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution of the United States.”
The organization lists three reasons to impeach Clinton. First, she “absented herself from the besieged in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, costing four American lives.”

The man, who was captured on the in-store camera, was white-skinned, around 185 centimetres tall, and dressed in a grey and black hooded top.
"He spoke poor Norwegian and threatened staff with what was probably a gun, but he did not take anything," Ola Krokan of Oslo police told Aftenposten newspaper.
Oslo has seen a wave of armed robberies since a petrol station and convenience store were robbed at knife-point on Monday night last week.

Police believe that the same two young men are behind the crimes.


Speed bumps can be installed to slow traffic and improve the safety of pedestrians. By reducing vehicle speeds, they can reduce fatalities caused by vehicular accidents. However, they cannot be placed on public roads. Some cities do not allow speed bumps on these areas. These devices can be installed on private roads or parking lots. If you're considering adding one to your roadway, make sure to read the following tips. This article will provide you with information on how to install speed bumps.
Firstly, speed humps are designed for use in residential neighborhoods, where a low-speed zone is desired. These devices are generally not used on state highways or major roads. They are more likely to be installed on residential streets. In Connecticut, several municipalities have used speed humps, and the city of Hartford has placed some speed tables in some areas. In Connecticut, there are some questions that should be answered prior to deciding whether or not to implement these devices.
Another question to ask is whether or not speed humps are needed on residential streets. While many cities and counties have speed tables, these devices are also used in smaller geographic areas. They can reduce speeding by up to 15 miles per hour, depending on the size of the roadway. By increasing their size and increasing the height of a speed bump, it can reduce traffic by up to ten percent. This may be the most effective method for reducing accidents, and it is highly recommended for any urban area.
Speed humps and speed bumps are common traffic control devices in residential streets. They provide more effective control than humps and are most effective at slowing down vehicles. They can also be used in parking lots and private roads. Unlike humps, speed humps and speed tables are more appropriate for residential streets with a 25-mile speed limit. It is also more efficient than a traditional humps in regulating traffic.
Speed humps are the most effective and commonly used method of calming traffic in urban areas. The same applies to speed bumps. The latter are usually three to four inches tall and two to five feet long. Their purpose is to slow down traffic to a reasonable rate. The higher the speed, the higher the impact on the road. And the higher the humps, the less effect they have on the speed of the vehicles. They can be installed along straightaways and entrances to reduce accidents.
While speed humps are not permitted on public roads, they can be installed in local, urban, and rural settings. The installation of speed humps should be done in conjunction with curbs and other traffic-calming measures. These devices can be installed in front of a traffic calming device. They are commonly bolted into the ground and can be placed anywhere. It is recommended that these bumps be placed in high-volume, high-traffic areas.


On the verge of ending Tuesday night's softball game early, Greenbrier found itself in a dogfight late against Evans.
The Lady Wolfpack were up 7-0 after five innings when Evans struck for four sixth-inning runs. Greenbrier added a run in the bottom of the sixth and held on for an 8-4 win.
After beating Evans 2-1 on Sept. 5, the win clinched first place in Region 2A-AAAAA for the Lady Wolfpack (18-3, 5-0) while the Lady Knights (13-9, 3-2) still clinched second place.
"Evans came back in and they competed with us in the sixth and seventh innings," Greenbrier coach Garrett Black said. "We played five outstanding innings of softball tonight and in the sixth and seventh we didn't finish."
The Lady Wolfpack struck for three first-inning runs with Jordie Holt driving in two with a double to left-center. They had four doubles and an inside-the-park home run from pitcher Kirsten Titus leading off the fifth.
Titus (13-2) cruised through the first five innings, facing two batters over the minimum. The Lady Wolfpack increased the lead to 7-0 with two in the fourth and two in the fifth.
Evans pitcher Natalie Johnson failed to retire Lady Wolfpack leadoff hitter Kirsten McMonigle, who walked, singled, doubled twice, scored twice and drove in a run.
The Lady Knights got two infield singles and an Elyssa Melton single to load the bases in the sixth. Brooke Buck singled home two, as did Ashton Odom.
"I was proud of them still going out there and battling with it," Evans coach Colette Cassedy said. "For some reason that sixth inning they kind of figured her (Titus) out a little bit and put it in play. … I just wish it would've happened a little earlier."
Both teams will play host in the first round of the Region 2-AAAAA Tournament, which starts Oct. 5.

Richmond Memorial Library Director Diana Wyrwa was kind enough to tell us just what plans are in store for the library now that the new budget has been passed...
"The Richmond Memorial Library Board of Trustees and staff wish to express our thanks to the voters of the Batavia City School District for approving our budget vote and electing a new trustee, Tracy Stokes, to the library board.
"The increase in funding for 2008-2009 will allow the library to add a second full time custodian. This way we will have a custodian on duty at night and on the weekends, making our library building a safer destination for our patrons. Two other initiatives that will take place in 2008 and 2009 are: a new Web page for the library and a space study of our building. The new Web page will give each "department" of the library its own page (ex. children's, teens, media, adult readers). Pages will be updated more often and be more interactive, for example, allowing patrons to register for classes online. The space study will be done by a professional firm and will help the library to better utilize the space we have in a more efficient and attractive manner. We will also be looking at our parking situation in this space study, trying to add more handicapped spaces and short-term parking spots. I'd like to eventually see us add a drive-up book drop on the driver's side.
"The newly adopted budget will also provide continued funding for books, media, and online resources. We will continue to update computers available for public use and maintain our wireless network. Wi-Fi is available on the main floor of the library. Programs for all ages will continue.
"We will also be adding a fax for public use. Many people come into the library and ask if we have a fax available. Shortly we will. There will be a cost to fax, but the cost has not been decided upon yet."
Thank you for the info, Diana. Best of luck.

For quite some time now the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) has been pushed by the general aviation community to find ways to make flying small, general aviation aircraft easier and more affordable. The General Aircraft Manufacturers Organization (GAMA), along with organizations like the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) and Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) have noted with some alarm the decline in student pilot starts. One of the ways the FAA has to encourage you to become a pilot is through their licensing requirements. At first the FAA first came out with the Recreational Pilot Certificate which required you to get a minimum of 30 hours of flight time in place of the 40 hours of flight time required for the Private Pilot Certificate. However, the restrictions on the number of passengers you could carry, the aircraft you can fly and the limitations on when and where you can fly has resulted in few acquiring this pilot certificate. Enter The Sport Pilot Certificate After much debate the FAA came up with the Sport Pilot Certificate which has, for all practical purposes, replaced the Recreational Pilot Certificate. The basic 5 requirements for a Sport Pilot Certificate are as follows: The applicant must be at least 17 years old The applicant must hold a U.S. Drivers license or an FAA Medical Certificate The applicant must pass the FAA Sport Pilot Knowledge Test The applicant must accumulate at least: 15 hours of dual instruction including 2 hours of cross country training; 5 hours of solo flight time; Complete 1 solo cross country flight of at least 75 nautical miles with full stop landings at 2 different airports, one of which must be at least 25 nautical miles from the starting point. The applicant must pass the FAA Sport Pilot Practical Flight Test The best way to learn more and prepare for the Sport Pilot FAA Written Knowledge Test is to get a copy of Gleim's Sport Pilot FAA Knowledge Test Guide for $ 19.95 + S&H. Once you receiveyour Sport Pilot Certificate category and class privileges will be endorsed in your log book instead of being printed on your Sport Pilot Certificate issued by the FAA. What Aircraft Can A Sport Pilot Certificate Holder Fly? As a sport pilot you can fly what the FAA calls Light Sport Aircraft, or LSAs. These aircraft are typically 2 place aircraft weighing less than 1,320 pounds maximum gross takeoff weight (for land aircraft) or 1,430 pounds maximum gross takeoff weight (for water aircraft). The aircraft must have a maximum airspeed at maximum power of no more than 120 knots calibrated air speed (CAS) and a stall speed no higher than 45 knots CAS at maximum gross weight powered by one reciprocating engine and a fixed landing gear system. Has The Sport Pilot Certificate Helped? At first there was a great deal of enthusiasm for this pilot certificate, and a number of aircraft manufacturers decided to build light sport aircraft that met the criteria for Sport Pilot Certificate holders. Many of these manufacturers had already been producing these aircraft in Europe and as kits for home built enthusiasts, and there have been a flood of different models introduced, including from major U.S. airframe manufacturers like the Cessna Aircraft Company. You can learn more here: Download the FAA Sport Pilot Brochure. The FAA Forecast For Student Pilot Starts On March 15th 2010 an article by AOPA made the following observations: It is estimated that slightly more than 72,000 student pilots were registered with the FAA in 2009, down from almost 81,000 a year before. According to the forecast, the number won’t again reach 2009 levels until 2013; next year is expected to be the worst with the forecast bottoming out at roughly 69,000 student certificates. The flight training industry has been struggling since Sept. 11, 2001. In fact, student certificates aren’t expected to reach the year 2000’s historical high of more than 93,000 for the entire forecast period. The one bright spot in the forecast is light sport aircraft pilot certificates, which the FAA expects to increase at a rate of more than 7 percent for the forecast period, and more than 25 percent over the short-term. How Many Student Pilots Are U.S. Pilots Versus Foreign Pilots? One of the questions this forecast did not address was the percentage of U.S. Student Pilot starts versus the percentage of foreign Student Pilot starts. During an interview I did with Dana D. Siewert ATP/CFI/DPE from the University of North Dakota (which has a very large pilot training program) he indicated that more than 70% of their students were foreign students. Final Thoughts For years I have heard of the impending pilot shortage due to retirements from the Part 121 airlines and the declining number of military pilots leaving the military; however, when I talk to some of my fellow pilots they tell me that there is more a lack of jobs than of pilots. There is no question that foreign air carriers are growing rapidly and need pilots, but here in the U.S. I am not convinced this shortage exists yet, particularly in view of the low pay regional airlines get away with paying their crews. I would love to hear any comments from you! Until next time keep your wings straight and level Hersch! JetAviator7 ps: Don't forget to sign up for our newsletter "All Things Aviation" here!

Back in the early 1990's Steven Spielberg was working on an animated musical version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats. It was to be directed by Simon Wells (The Prince of Egypt, Balto) and Phil Nibbelink (Puss in Boot, An American Tale: Fievel Goes West). Unfortunately Amblimation shut its doors in 1997 and Cats was abandoned.
Recently, Luc Desmarchelier, who worked at one time in the visual department for the film, has released some stunning concept art. It is so good, that Cats qualifies as one of the greatest films never made. Also included is some concept art done by Hans Bacher, the film's production designer. Bacher's black and white illustrations are particularly impressive considering they were done using only Tipp-Ex white correction fluid on black cardboard, with black markers used to touch-up some rough areas. It was an attempt to generate the feel and look of a Frans Masereel woodcut.
Most of the story was to be set in London shortly after The Blitz, giving everything a danse macabre and blast-out feel. The visual concept attempted to combine detailed miniature models with traditional animation to create a unique 3-D feel.

The company donated to the organization, which fights against animal cruelty, during the holiday season.
01/27/2023 10:15 A.M.
1 minute read
Huntington Debt Holding, an ACA International member company based in Buffalo, N.Y., recently donated to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Serving Erie County, the second-oldest humane society in the country.
The SPCA began in England in 1824 and has evolved into an international organization dedicated to the safety and well-being of animals. The SPCA of Erie County began in 1867, just one year after the first American SPCA began in New York City. What started as an organization dedicated to helping the horses working along the Erie Canal, the SPCA of Erie County today has over 100 events per year helping to house, treat, and care for animals of all kinds.
“Huntington Debt Holding is proud to be a trusted partner to some of the nation’s largest credit issuers and Erie County’s largest animal welfare organization,” according to a press release from the company. “Being involved with national clients, local charity organizations, and our employees have helped make us a better place to work and a more trusted partner.”

A sponsored skydive will be raising money for charity.
Sainsbury’s store manager Paul Bryan along with nine other colleagues will be jumping out of a plane from Chatteris Airfield, the North London Skydive Centre in Cambridgeshire on May 17.
We really want to give Anna’s Hope £10,000 by the end of the year.Sales assistant Sue Williams
Paul’s team are James Quinn, Justin Abraham, Nicola Masson, Sam Elener, Shane Latraille, Stuart Boswell, Sophie Cummins, Kim Mahon and Chloe Bryan.
They will be jumping from heights of 13,000 feet with a freefall of up to 40 seconds and reaching speeds of 120mph.
People have been donating to see them jump out of the plane for the skydive, or just as likely to see them pushed!
The team are aiming to raise £3,000 for this event and achieved raising £1,000 in just ten days. Already this year Sainsbury’s have given £7,000 to Anna’s Hope through various fundraising events.
Sales assistant and trustee for the charity Sue Williams said: “We really want to give Anna’s Hope £10,000 by the end of the year.
“These last few days have been about raising the profile of the skydive but already we’ve received so much. Not only our customers, but the people of Spalding are so supportive and the charity just can’t get over it.”
Anna’s Hope is a Stamford-based charity that provides rehabilitation to children in this region, who have suffered a brain tumour or who have had brain surgery, during and after their treatment to help them reach their full potential.
Anna’s Hope was inspired by Anna Olivia Hughes, who died from a brain tumour in 2006 aged only three years and eight months. It was set up by her parents Rob and Carole Hughes.
Anyone who wishes to support Paul and his team for this good cause can visit www.justgiving.com/Paul-Bryan9/ and donate.


Cybersecurity and digital identity in Quebec: Outaouais has new high-tech hub
At a special event held at Espace Canevas on January 17, 2023, Cilex, known in the Gatineau-Ottawa region for its incubation, acceleration, research and development services for startups (a small company in its infancy), announced the six companies selected for their cybersecurity networking program.
This program, a first in Quebec, will allow participating startups to benefit from several privileges, including collaboration with real estate company Brigil in the development of their technologies, specialized coaching through Main's Momentum service (value of $75,000) a one-year access to the advantages offered by Cilex (experts, premises, business network), as well as the possibility of receiving advice from Cilex's many cybersecurity partners (CyberQuébec, In-Sec-M, the Digital Identity Laboratory, PROMPT, the RHEA Group, IVÉO and Export Outaouais).
The startups that make up the 2023 cohort of the cybersecurity and digital identity program are Conatix, CYBERDEFENSE.AI, F8th, Northern Block, Secure Exchanges and Verifa.i. The companies' representatives were in the spotlight at the January 17 networking event, which was attended by Cilex employees, entrepreneurs from the selected startups and Brigil executives. The Honourable Greg Fergus, Liberal MP for Hull-Aylmer, the Honourable Steven MacKinnon, Liberal MP for Gatineau and Suzanne Tremblay, Caquist MNA for Hull at the Quebec National Assembly were also in attendance.
The federal member for Hull-Aylmer spoke at the invitation of Manuel Patry and Farid Dagher, respectively in charge of the networking project and coach at Cilex: "I think it is important to underline the partnership that exists here. You have seen the partnership with the federal government, the city, the province and the company Brigil. Young entrepreneurs with good ideas will now benefit from the experience of those who are more experienced.”
"We know that with cyber security there are so many opportunities. [...] Let's continue to create something of value, not only for the people of Aylmer, but for the people of our Outaouais region and, really, the world," concluded Greg Fergus. Jessy Desjardins, Vice-President of Development and Conception at Brigil, also took a moment to highlight the partnership between the fast-growing real estate company and startups with a specific cybersecurity offering.
Finally, it should be noted that Cilex's cybersecurity networking program is an initiative made possible by funding from the Fonds de soutien aux organismes à but non lucratif appuyant l'entreprenariat de la Ville de Gatineau ($100,000), as well as from Canada Economic Development for the regions of Quebec.

3D custom coins come to life over 2D coins!
A military customer sent us a wolf image for his unit’s challenge coin. It showed a sepia tone photograph of a menacing looking wolf peering from behind tall grasses. The photo had many subtle shade and color gradations, while the body was partially obstructed by the grasses.
We specialize in making custom 3D Coins!
“When I saw that photo, I knew it would make a nice 3-D image, but it would be challenging to go from color to no color,” explained the salesperson. “The customer wanted antique copper without color.”
“If we duplicated the image and inserted it into the center of the coin, it would look like the original,” she said. “However, the customer didn’t want a mirror image. He wanted a similar one in a rustic, antique style.”
First, we created the wolf in 2-D, which included raised and recessed metal. Note the 2-D wolf image on the left.
“The 2-D image was lacking in depth,” said the salesperson. “In fact, the legs looked short and the image was too different from the original. It was a mistake to leave out the grass and try to create the hidden legs underneath.”
When the designer changed the image from 2-D to 3-D, she requested a CNC rendering. “I’m not sure what CNC stands for, but the designers at our factory recreated the wolf image as if it were a relief sculpture,” said our lead designer. “They made it more rounded and life-like. The result was remarkable.”
Side by side, the 2-D, and the 3-D cannot compare. The 3-D image was clearly superior even without color. Ask your salesperson if 2-D or 3-D works best for your image.

I moved to Austin a little under a year ago. So far, it has been an interesting journey. I plan to use this blog to talk about my likes and dislikes.
Being new to Austin, I want to find the best coffee house in the area. Everyone goes to Starbucks…Where is the sport in going there? Austin has lots of fun quirky places to go and have coffee. Even so, I still feel a need to go to Starbucks on occasion.
I started out going to Austin Java on Barton Springs. They have pretty good coffee, just not anything special. They got the Best Of from the Austin Chronicle. The last time I was there, I was on the porch and a mouse was coming out of the fireplace. When the waiter came by, I showed him the mouse and his response was, “Awesome!” I’ll give him the fact that we were on a porch, but it was covered!
I made my way to Joe’s on Congress. While there are other Joe’s, the one on Congress is the most fun because of the interesting people. I had a Turbo coffee drink. It was very sweet, just the way I like my coffee. Joe’s is different because it is more of a coffee stand than a coffee house. It is great to get a coffee and then hang out on the street. Plus, you can bring your dog. From what I’ve seen there is always a line and always busy!
I’ve also gone to Halcyon. I’m not sure I even spelled that right. It’s a quirky place down in the warehouse district. It’s pretty good and a fun place to hang out. Their couches are pretty ratty. There wasn’t as many people there, but it was just as good as any of the other places.
I’ll keep trying new coffee places and update the blog on other things I enjoy!
What about the place near that restaurant that grows its own vegetables? I thought that was a fun place to go, as well.
Next time I’m in Austin, I’ll try some of that coffee.

With graduation in high schools imminent, it has been largely left up to individual classes and their families to decide what form their celebration will take.
In the Northeast School Division, the board gave the green light to digital grads some time ago, but said that each group of graduates and their families would need to take on the challenge of having anything more than that.
In Nipawin, the ceremony will take about the same time as the normal ones do, but people will be watching via Youtube, said school principal Corey Froehlich.
The link will become live on, June 29 at 3:00 pm with the link posted on the school’s website at https://www.nesd.ca/School/lpmiller/Pages/default.aspx#/=
“Almost all aspects of the presentation will be paralleled to our traditional graduation,” said Froelich.
Parents and grads have organized a parade, as is being done in other communities. It starts the day on June 29 at noon at the Pineland Co-op C Store on the south end of town.
Melfort’s graduation is the same day as Nipawin’s, but starts earlier.
The virtual graduation starts at 10:00 am, with a link live at that time on the school website,https://www.nesd.ca/School/mucc/Pages/default.aspx#/=
Later in the day, the graduates will have a drive by starting at 4:00 pm on Shadd Drive. This is being put on by the parent grad committee as well.
Tisdale will host their graduation on Saturday, June 27 at noon with 55 of the 56 graduates participating in the virtual ceremony at https://www.nesd.ca/School/tmss/Pages/default.aspx#/=.
The video will feature grads showing off their outfits, introducing themselves and telling us their future plans, an address from the principal, a video from a celebrity guest speaker and a roast of the grads by Lauren Spedding and Reagan Lejoie.
Photos of each graduate have been printed on yard signs that will be put up at Memorial Park on Main Street.
Provincially, virtual services have been recommended by public health officials as the safest option.
Drive in ceremonies are allowed with the necessary public health measures in place and guidelines have been developed for those.
Outdoor services are also allowed but with a maximum of 30 graduates per class and an overall attendance of 150 people (including graduates, guests and staff members).
Schools with larger classes may need to hold multiple ceremonies. All graduation services must comply with the public health measures and the guidelines in Re-Open Saskatchewan, including the need to maintain physical distancing.

Impact of MK Stalin's Federation will be felt across sub-continent: DMK
The All India Federation for Social Justice has the potential to safeguard the social justice ethos of this country.
- 'Over the years, TN has also championed the cause of state autonomy'
- 'DMK has played a role in shaping the national polity over the past 7 decades'
- 'There is a need to take social justice ideas to other parts of the country'
More than 105 years ago, the launch of the South India Liberal Federation ushered in a wave of social justice politics which continues to define the politics of Tamil Nadu. The South India Liberal Federation, more popularly known as the Justice Party, shaped the Dravidian Movement based on ideology of self-respect, anti-caste reform and progressive politics. Over the years, Tamil Nadu has also championed the cause of state autonomy, inclusive governance and modern political reforms. The time is now ripe for the various initiatives to come under the collective umbrella of the All India Federation for Social Justice.
The objective of the All India Federation for Social Justice, in the words of the Chief Minister MK Stalin himself, is to create a roadmap to take forward the battle for social justice. The question of social justice cuts across the intersectionalities of gender, caste and class. It is not a North India or South India phenomenon but a pan-India issue which requires the participation of democratic forces from all parts of our Republic. Therefore, though the initiative has arisen from the state of Tamil Nadu, the impact of this Federation will likely be felt across much of the sub-continent.
Over the past seven decades, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has played a role in shaping the national polity due to its progressive ideologies, commitment to secularism and our federalist priorities. Therefore, it is only natural that the rest of the country looks to the leaders of our party including Anna, Kalaignar or Chief Minister Stalin in matters concerning the fundamental constitutional fabric of this country. Some of the pioneering reforms in social justice have stemmed from the very movement that produced the DMK.
The first Amendment to the Constitution of India came into effect in 1951 wherein a new clause i.e. clause 4 was added to Article 15, which enabled the State to make any special provision for the advancement of any socially and educationally backward classes of citizens or for the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes. This set the tone for special provisions in the form of affirmative action for the betterment of backward classes across the country.
In 1990, the DMK played a pivotal role, as part of the Union Government under the Prime Ministership of VP Singh for the issuance of the Office Memorandum which implemented the recommendations of the Mandal Commission Report and allowed for 27% reservation for backward classes in civil posts and services under the Government of India. Likewise, in 2005, the United Progressive Alliance-led Union Government enacted the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Act 2006 which enabled thousands of backward class students.
In spite of these landmark contributions, there is much more to be done. In fact, one has seen the concept of social justice finding itself at peril with the introduction of National Entrance and Eligibility Test (NEET) and lateral entry for civil servants. Tamil Nadu has registered its strong opposition on both counts but there is a need to take social justice ideas to other parts of the country on an urgent basis.
While speaking at an event recently, Chief Minister Stalin remarked that though the percentage of backward and oppressed communities may differ with each state, the ideology of social justice is the same. He further reiterated that "Everything for everyone" will be the basis of All India Federation for Social Justice and this will be a federation that works to achieve principles of federalism and social justice.
The platform laid by the Social India Liberal Federation has been built upon by the drafters of the Constitution of India in ensuring equality for all and equal protection of laws. However, the principles underlying our Constitutional fabric, carefully formulated over the 75 years of Indian Independence, now need to be safeguarded from being eroded away. The All India Federation for Social Justice not only has the potential to safeguard the social justice ethos of this country but also help us rediscover our secular, egalitarian values for the 22nd century.

Design Anthology is the premier English-language interiors, design, architecture and urban living magazine.
In this issue:
The Outdoors Issue
Our outdoors issue explores the intersection of the built and natural environments, celebrating spaces across Asia that connect us with the outside world
From the editor:
One of the silver linings of the last two years has been a renewed appreciation for being outdoors. While all manner of bricks-and-mortar service providers have been forced to close (by government order or otherwise), many of us have turned our gaze outwards — to local parks, beaches, hiking trails and riverbanks to gather with friends and family in a ‘COVID-safe’ way or just spend time alone outside of the house. It’s for this reason that we decided to dedicate this issue of Design Anthology to the great outdoors.
In addition to the features our editorial team has scoured the region to share with you, I’m most excited about the five homes in this issue. It’s always difficult to choose a favourite, and these are all definitely up there — not least the Pink House by Ho Chi Minh-based 23o5studio for its graphic architectural styling softened with plenty of lush foliage. This home is a great example of the contemporary architecture currently being built in Vietnam, a country we’re keeping our eye on for its thrilling architecture and design trajectory. We’re equally appreciative of the indoor-outdoor quality of the Tokyo Garden House by Keiji Ashizawa, the lush ‘green’ house in Singapore by L Architects, the open pavilion-style home in central Bangkok by PHTAA Living Design, and the meditative qualities of Mao Shen Chiang’s home in Taiwan.
Each of these homes possesses a quality I love: the blurring of boundaries between indoors and out. There’s something a little dreamy about being in a space that’s open to the elements — maybe it’s the idea of an endless summer or being on permanent vacation. More than that, though, there’s evidence that being surrounded by plants and greenery can have a calming and soothing effect on us, and we all know the benefits of fresh air and natural light.
From myself and the team, we wish you all the best for the year ahead and hope you enjoy leafing, pun intended, through this issue.

Brutalo Deluxe 2 is a rather simplistic platform shooter similar to Soldat that is great for short bursts of fun. You take control of a single character and face off against multiple opponents in a variety of different levels using your choice of six guns and a handful of grenades.
Brutalo will surprise you with how fun it really is. The graphics are extremely simplistic and the movement can feel a bit stiff, but you will hardly notice when you are too busy spraying bullets at the (up to) five other bots and making their insides splat against the ground.
Each round is played up to a target number of kills, with a chance to switch weapons in between spawning. The weapons range from a pistol to a rocket launcher and everything in between, yet each weapon feels balanced. The sniper rifle is slow but can one-shot any target, the Gatling gun is delayed in starting up but extremely rapid, and all others behave as you would expect.
Brutalo suffers from a few design flaws, however. Most apparent is its lack of any sort of multiplayer mode. You'll have plenty of fun trying to survive more than a few seconds against some pretty tough AI, but it's not the same as testing your skill against others.
Another issue is the absence of recording what weapon you last used. When you die, you have but a few seconds to remember to push the number keys to pick a weapon, otherwise you will be stuck with a pistol. This is entirely unnecessary, as it should assume you want the same weapon unless you choose otherwise.
Overall, Brutalo Deluxe 2 is a surprisingly fun platform shooter that will kill more than a few of your coffee breaks.

MILLERSBURG -- Finding something to eat at the Holmes County Fair is not much of a problem with more than 20 food vendors on hand providing fare from Chinese to Italian, with many other options in-between.
If eating healthy is the objective, well, that might be a different story, as stromboli seemed to be the most popular food choice in a brief survey conducted Tuesday afternoon.
"The stromboli is outstanding," said Skylar Anderson of Millersburg, who added he doesn't worry about eating too much food at the fair because it's too expensive for him.
Mary Salisbury of Millersburg said she enjoyed the chicken fried rice.
"It's very good," Salisbury said. "I'm not really sure if it's good for me. I just know I like it."
Donna Miller of Holmes County says she enjoyed the stromboli for lunch.
"It was good as far as fair food goes," she said.
Jessica Schlabach enjoyed an Italian sausage, while Jeanette Ramey of Killbuck and Annette Clark, also of Killbuck, snacked on some JoJoes.
"They weren't the best. They weren't quite done," Ramey said. "But, the lemonade is great. That's something I get every year from that lemonade stand."
Sydney Peterson and her sister, Taylor Peterson, of Holmesville both finished off their stromboli with gusto.
"It's very good," Sydney said.
"If we get to choose, we always pick stromboli," Taylor added.
Gloria Faint, owner of the Italian Eatery, which specializes in stromboli, says of the 19 fairs she does, the Holmes County Fair is where the stand sells the most stromboli.
"It's one of the top three of all our fairs, but when you consider the size of the fair, it's probably our biggest grossing fair," Faint said. "We sell a ton here."
Holmes County Health Commissioner Dr. D.J. McFadden said fairgoers should be aware of portion control.
"Fair food and other street food can sometimes have large potion sizes, and when you mindlessly eat while walking around, sometimes we eat more than we would otherwise," McFadden said.
He also cautions against eating too much fried foods, which are high in calories.
"To eat healthier, look for things that are not fried," he said, noting cheating here and there doesn't hurt all that much.
"If you eat healthily every day, having one meal at the fair probably is not going to be the one that does you in," said McFadden, quick to add a high-calorie large meal every day is "not good."

The enslaved African girl, whose name was given as Myrtilla, only had a gravestone left as a memorial. It is located at the St. Lawrence Parish Church in Oxhill, Warwickshire, where she resided in the first half of the 18th century.
An inscription on it gives brief information about her identity, her master, the day of her baptism, and the day of her funeral. According to scholar Remi Kapo, it is one of the earliest African-born person’s tombs in Britain. She may have been a slave who served Thomas Beauchamp, based on the gravestone’s specifics.
It had Myrtilla’s age prior to the grave’s repair in 1969 and its move to the graveyard in the 1970s. Myrtilla should be 112 years old in 2022 if historical data is to be believed, which would indicate that she passed away in 1910. Since 1988, her grave has been classified as Grade II.
According to the Migration Museum, Myrtilla is one of the few enslaved Africans who had the privilege of having a tombstone in Britain to symbolize the miseries of slavery and their protracted sea voyage to the new country. Their labor and presence go back to the time when the Roman Empire controlled large portions of what is now Britain.
Early in the 18th century, the Beauchamp family migrated to England due to their stake in the sugar industry on Nevis. It is quite likely that Myrtilla moved in with them when they relocated due to her enormous value to the family. There are no mentions of the services she rendered under the family’s supervision.
The gravestone for Myrtilla was uncovered as a result of researcher Barbara Willis-efforts Brown’s to learn more about the black history of the Oxhill neighborhood. A historical artifact discovered during the search was the Oxhill parish register from 1690, which recorded the occasion of Margaret Lucy’s baptism, another enslaved African girl. Will Archus, an adult male African slave, was likewise baptized in 1700, in accordance with the Guardian.
According to the Oxhill village website, Thomas Beauchamp was connected to all three of the Africans who were held as slaves. According to legend, Thomas Beauchamp wed one of the twin daughters of the Oxhill rector.
Evidence from the website suggests that the slaveowner made sure all three of his slaves received proper baptism, which may have contributed to Myrtilla’s proper burial.
There are theories that Thomas Beauchamp’s humanity may have been the reason Myrtilla was given the chance to receive a tombstone.
However, there is no information on what might have caused Myrtilla’s passing. The researcher made the assumption that she might have passed away after a brief sickness or that she was unable to withstand the severe weather.
According to Ian Grosvenor, professor of urban educational history at Birmingham University, the English’s participation in the transatlantic slave trade may have contributed to the existence of Africans in slavery. Despite this, there were also Black Roman troops present who were a part of the legion stationed in Britain.

Trans fat is a popular buzz word in the news and amongst the health conscious. The fatty substance occurs naturally and has been commercially manufactured in our food since the 1940’s. Over the past two decades researchers have reported on its negative health impact. Many government entities have moved to either ban or restrict its use. Such political action has occurred here in Cleveland, Ohio, and in other prominent U.S. cities, New York and Baltimore, as well as across the globe in other countries, Canada and Denmark.
A trans fatty acid results from the chemical hydrogenation by which hydrogen atoms are added to carbon-carbon chains to reduce the number of double bonds. The process of saturating the carbon chain alters the configuration from cis to trans. The trans formation adds value to commercially prepared foods by increasing the melting point, shelf life, and flavor stability. In our bodies trans fats increase risks associated with Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). The experts agree that trans fats mediate changes in lipid metabolism, trigger pro-inflammatory effects, and endothelial dysfunction.
In November 2013 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced partially Hydrogenated Oils, which trans fats are the primary dietary source of, are no longer Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for any use in food based on current scientific evidence; although removal of the GRAS status is not final until after the comment period in March 2014.
Generally any substance the intended use of which results in its becoming a component of or otherwise affecting the characteristic of any food is an unsafe “food additive” unless it is used in accordance with 21 U.S.C 321(s) if such substance is not GRAS. A substance is GRAS if it is generally recognized among qualified experts as having adequately shown to be safe under the conditions of its intended use. Moreover, Gras status of a substance used in food is time-dependent.
That time has come for partially hydrogenated oils and trans fatty acids despite being widely used since the 1940’s in margarine, shortening, baked goods, bread, rolls, buns, French dressing, mayonnaise, cookies, frozen pizza, microwave popcorn, frozen pies, etc. Health experts more than generally agree that trans fats are not safe for the health of the public as evidenced by published literature. For examples see studies published by the American Heart Association, the American Dietetic Association, IOM/NAS, FDA Food Advisory Committee Nutrition Subcommittee, the World Health Organization, the CDC, and NHANES to name a few.
Much of the food industry has begun to remove or reduce the level of the substance in their products. If removal of the GRAS status becomes permanent more time and money will be need to completely remove non-naturally occurring trans fats from our food supply.
This action is positive for our health but is only one piece of our lifestyle health dysfunction.

I believe I've found that the 99-00 EK VTi came coupe form and with the B16 but is this right? I also prefer the EG coupe but is it possible to get these with the B16 or would it just be swaps? I may go with an EG hatch if thats the easiest way to get a B16.

It's very good, if painful, in parts...kinda like you'd expect a scar to be, really.
It's a story about things that might be...and, of course, of scars.
The "Scar" of the title represents the destination quest ("The Scar", a hole in the world which might-have-beens puportedly spill from), but also the leaders of the city where it takes place (who practice fetechistic scarification), the sutures that hold the city Armada (made of hundreds of boats), where the story takes place, together, the scars of one of the main characters' transformation into a fish-person, the scars of the primary major character getting lashed and of growing up, the scars of the various people of Armada (many of whom are "press-ganged"—taken captive and forced to assimilate or die) joining with the city itself. And, I'm sure, there are intended scars I've missed, but the idea of a scar as a healing over a wound...or is it a wound that never heals?...pervades the book.
This combines the minor (or perhaps more major, yet less hammered apon?) theme -- of Possible Things. The most important non-protagonist character, Uther Doul, has a sword that can make every plausible strike at once, and so has trained to be able to fight such that he -could- make nearly any useful strike with his "Possible Sword" (or "Might", as in "might have been," "Sword"). The primary protagonist starts the story off with a letter to...someone; we're not told to whom, and various bits of it get written throuought the novel. Late in the story (in a nearly 600 page story, I should add, and after she's frantically tried to get it sent), she confesses that she doesn't know whom it's to either; she's left it unaddressed and figured she'd decide who it was to when it was done. At the conclusion of the story, she decides that it's a Possible Letter, capable of going in a myriad of directions and giving her (narrative, presumably) power as a result.
All together (there is -also- a plot) it's a pretty good read.

Illustrated by: Melissa Suber
Published by: Clarion Publishers, New York 2009
Ages: 4 – 8 years
Theme: Girl power, being unique
Opening Lines: From the moment Mama Hen’s eggs burst open, she knew she was dealing with some pretty tough chicks. Penny, Polly, and Molly shook out their wet fluff and immediately began to strut around the farm. Peep, peep, zoom, zip, cheep.
Synopsis: From Amazon – From the moment Penny, Polly, and Molly hatch from their eggs, the whole farm knows they are truly tough chicks. They wrestle worms, rope roosters, and are often found under the hood of the tractor. All the other animals and even the farmer himself tell Mama Hen to make her chicks good. “They are good!” Mama Hen replies. But could her chicks be too loud, too independent, and too tough? Lively language and bold illustrations capture all the fun and humor of this delightfully different farmyard romp that’s also a resounding endorsement for letting girls be girls (even if they’re loud and tough and like to play with tractors.)
Why I like this: Don’t we just love anything that shows what girls can do, who dare to be different? Yay for Girl Power! The picture doesn’t do it justice of the colourful illustrations of the farm animals and the cute expressions on the chicks faces even when covered in mud. (Reminds me of Julie Rowan-Zoch’s gorgeous works of art.) I noticed throughout the rule of three both in the text and even in the illustrations with cow, pigs and sheep. Even though from the moment they hatched everyone including the farmer were wishing the chicks weren’t so loud, independent and causing such trouble. Their mother still thought they were good, in their own way, (though she did have her doubts and worries.) But when a runaway tractor gets caught in the mud it is the girls wit, independence and smarts that come to the rescue. This is a delightful read with humour, that even the guys are gonna love. Where would they be without us “tough chicks” huh?
I love that saying:- Girls can do anything!
Resources/Findings: Can catch Cece Meng here…. https://twitter.com/iwrite4kids
I can think of a number of activities where both girls and guys can mix in, compete and even surprise. Such as a bake-off, tug of war, craft making, design a mini garden, etc. Many of these can be done in groups in the classroom. Whether it’s an indoor activity or outdoor, such as a nature trek, one can never assume girls are weak of stomach or body. These days many girls are interested in technical design, wood work, mechanics, even space, etc.

Offering meditation, self-love and enlightenment courses
During a busy career as an actress, including work at the National Theatre and two James Bond films, Caroline was introduced to the teachings of J. Krishnamurti, which began an inner questioning about the nature of life and her place in it.
After many subsequent years of intense personal work, exploring various forms of therapy and different teachers of enlightenment, including Nisagadatta Maharaj, Gurdjieff and Eckarte Tolle, she gradually let go of the strong ego driving her to succeed as an actress and stepped back from the profession.
Caroline then decided to devote the next 18 years to parenting her and her husband’s two sons, which introduced its own challenges. Through the daily struggles of motherhood, Caroline learned the deep humility of being not-separate from the human struggle of existence.
Constantly returning to the simple directness of Krishnamurti’s teaching, however, eventually brought a powerful transformation of her consciousness.
Gradually she began to speak to people about inner freedom and the relationship we have to ourselves and our own stories.
Caroline’s philosophy is a practical one. Having walked through her own limiting story to a personal freedom, she is able to listen with great clarity to others, seeing ways in which people trap themselves in their thoughts, beliefs, memories or emotions, and helping them move beyond these to a sense of their own perfection.
Once an individual is free from their story it allows an exploration of Mankind’s relationship to the brain, to time and thought, to the Timeless and to love.
Caroline has recently published her first book: “The Compassionate Heart” which is a practical guide through self-love to inner peace. Step by step the reader is guided on a deep inner journey, learning to see themselves and their past with eyes of loving acceptance before dropping into an inner peace which is the essence of who we really are.” To buy copies of the book, follow the link: https://www.carolinebliss.co.uk/the-compassionate-heart

Here’s my old block in Wicker Park (and namesake for this blog): the 2100 block of West North Avenue. It’s also an interesting illustration of how Chicago’s 1957 zoning ordinance made courtyard apartment buildings illegal — even though this eminently livable, passively vented building type defines high-density Chicago neighborhoods like Rogers Park and South Shore.
What did courtyards in were backyards. The 1957 ordinance (mildly updated since) requires a 30-50′ rear yard for residential units in all but the densest of downtown zones; functionally, this is where the garage went. This mandate shifted open space to the rear of the lot, and the entire point of a courtyard building is that the open space is consolidated at the center of the lot.
The 1911 C-shaped courtyard shown at lower right has minimal setbacks along the sides and rear, which results in a generous central courtyard. The 1901 3-shaped courtyard at upper left was required (by a subdivision-specific covenant and by a ‘L’ line easement) to retain front and rear setbacks, and as a result its courtyard shape is so constrained as to be almost illegible. The new buildings at lower left were required to have a rear setback (the ones at far left got a slight variance) and thus consolidate their open space at the front and rear of their lots, to the great detriment of the tiny sliver of open space that the architect sought to insert in the middle.
Other contributing factors to the demise of courtyard apartments include:
- Parking requirements, which are difficult but not impossible to accommodate in basements. The large courtyard shown here is raised, and could have been built with parking underneath.
- The fashion for high-rises and for deeper floorplans in general, fed by postwar technological changes — cheaper steel and concrete, improved lighting, air conditioning, elevators, etc.
- By the time 1929 came around, appropriate sites for courtyard buildings, which required contiguous lots zoned for medium density (at the time, Chicago had three density districts, although then as now the low-density district was pretty capacious). In 1945, when construction resumed, the city’s builders had shifted their attention away from the relatively built-up lakefront.
- Market distortions that encouraged detached single-family houses instead of apartments.

The 2021 college football season has not gotten off to the start that those around the Atlantic Coast Conference would have liked. ACC teams have seen several tough out-of-conference losses, including an number of blowouts to begin the year which has heightened the national media narrative about the state of the league. It hasn’t been all bad for the ACC though, as there have been some great moments, stories and surprises to come out of the first three weeks. With all of that being said… here is my ACC Power Rankings through Week 3.
#1 – Wake Forest Demon Deacons – 3-0 (1-0 ACC)
The Demon Deacons have looked like the most complete team early on here in 2021. The Deacs have an explosive offensive attack led by QB Sam Hartman. While Wake Forest has yet to be fully tested, they have breezed through their first three games outscoring their opponents 118-40. We will get to see what Wake is really made of when they head to Charlottesville this week for their first road trip of the season. But so far, Wake is playing as well as anybody in the country through their first three games
#2 – Clemson Tigers – 2-1 (1-0 ACC)
It has not been the start that the Tigers would have hoped for coming into the season. The strength has been on the defensive side of the ball, as the Tigers lead the ACC in points against and are fourth in total defense. The disappointment has come from the offense. The Tigers are really missing Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne as the Tigers are last in the ACC in total offense and 13th in ppg. The passing attack has been non-existent, and the offense line needs serious help. There are plenty concerns surrounding this Clemson team, however if the Tigers can get through NC State this Saturday, they won’t get tested again until late October with a road trip to Pitt. The Tigers have way too much talent to continue to struggle like this and I fully expect them to get it locked in this weekend.
#3 – Virginia Tech Hokies – 2-1 (1-0 ACC)
The Hokies started the season with a great win over North Carolina at home in Lane Stadium. It looked as if things were turning a corner in Blacksburg, until the Hokies went on the road last week to face West Virginia. The Mountaineers jumped on Tech early, but give the Hokies credit, they fought their way back into the game and had a chance to tie late but were stopped on fourth and goal. The offensive struggles have continued for Virginia Tech as their offense is near the bottom in yards and points per game. The defense and special teams, however, reminds us of the old Bud Foster and “Beamer Ball” days. The Hokies should be just fine and with a win over UNC already, they are in the driver seat for an ACC Coastal division title.
#4 – North Carolina Tar Heels – 2-1 (1-1 ACC)
The Tar Heels started off 2021 with plenty of expectations and conference title dreams. Those took a step back after getting dominated by a fiery Virginia Tech defense. Sam Howell, who had pre-season Heisman hopes, was sacked six times and threw three interceptions against the Hokies. Since then, the UNC offense has been playing exactly how we expected them to. After scoring just 10 points in the opener, the Heels have scored 59 in both of the succeeding two games against Georgia State and Virginia. The offense is currently one of the best in the ACC, which is a good thing as their defense has really been a cause for concern. The schedule sets up perfectly for UNC as they face ACC bottom dwellers the next four weeks before big showdowns with Notre Dame and Wake Forest.
#5 – Boston College Eagles – 3-0 (0-0 ACC)
The Eagles are the only other undefeated team left in the ACC. Granted, the Eagles have played Colgate, UMass and Temple (who have a combined record of 1-8). I’m keeping Boston College near the top of the power rankings exclusively due to their perfect record thus far. The Eagles got a big blow in Week 2 when their star QB Phil Jurkovec was knocked out of the game (and the rest of the season) with a serious hand injury. It’ll be up to Dennis Grosel to lead Boston College the rest of the way, including their first real test of the season this week against Missouri.
#6 – Louisville Cardinals – 2-1 (0-0 ACC)
It looked as if it was going to be a long year for Scott Satterfield and the Cardinals after the whipping they took at the hands of Ole Miss in Week 1. However, Louisville has bounced back nicely with wins over FCS opponent Eastern Kentucky and future Big 12 member UCF, it a truly wild game last weekend. Coming into the season, I fully expected the Louisville offensive attack to be explosive, which it has for the most part, but I really thought the Louisville defense would be much improved. So far, that has not be the case as the Cards are near the bottom of the league in total defense and ppg against. The Cardinals offense will need to be on their “A” game every week. Maybe not so much this week as they get ACC play underway against Florida State.
#7 – North Carolina State Wolfpack – 2-1 (0-0 ACC)
I, like many in Raleigh, had big expectations for the Wolfpack coming into 2021. I still believe they are one of the best teams in the league and the one true threat to Clemson in the ACC Atlantic. While the Pack do have blowout wins to USF and Furman, the loss to Mississippi State in Week 2 makes me question everything I know about NC State. The Pack are now without their best defensive weapons in Payton Wilson and Cyrus Fagan. They didn’t need them against Furman, but with a ticked off Clemson team coming to town this weekend, they might really feel the void those two players have left. The offense really struggled with a mediocre Mississippi State team, so I can’t imagine what they’ll be like when facing off against teams with much better defenses like Clemson, Boston College and Wake Forest.
#8 – Pitt Panthers – 2-1 (0-0 ACC)
After the first two weeks of the season, I was ready to jump on the Pitt bandwagon and believed they might be the best team in the ACC Coastal. Then they lost to Western Michigan last week. The offense has been good, that’s not the problem. They are Top 4 in total offense and are averaging 44.3 ppg. The surprising concern for the Panthers has been their lack of defense, especially against the pass. Pitt is in the bottom half in pass defense and is 12th out of 14 teams in ppg against. While they should be fine the next couple of weeks, the back end of their schedule is loaded with high power offenses that can put up a bunch of yards and points.
#9 – Virginia Cavaliers – 2-1 (0-1 ACC)
Not sure what to think of the Cavaliers this season. They had no problems beating up on lesser opponents William & Mary and Illinois. But when faced with a real challenge, the Cavs defense completely folded. Virginia gave up 59 points and nearly 700 yards to North Carolina a week ago which included 392 on the ground. QB Brennan Armstrong leads the ACC in passing, but when your defense is giving up over 400 yards a game, it’s going to make Armstrong play flawless football in order to win games. Things don’t get any easier this week as the Cavaliers face off against another explosive offensive attack as Wake Forest comes to town.
#10 – Duke Blue Devils – 2-1 (0-0 ACC)
Two weeks ago I would have listed Duke at the bottom of this list after the lost on the road to Charlotte. Since then, the Blue Devils have done nothing but improve. There are still some issues on defense, mainly against the run, but Duke as rebounded nicely from the Week 1 loss to winning two in a row against a tough FCS opponent in NC A&T and then against Northwestern out of the Big Ten. With a game against Kansas this week, the Blue Devils are in a great position to be 3-1 heading into conference play. I still don’t think Duke gets to six wins this season, but they for sure don’t look like the worst team in the ACC.
#11 – Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets – 1-2 (0-1 ACC)
Much like Duke, I was ready to write off the Yellow Jackets after their Week 1 loss to Northern Illinois. They did rebound with a nice win over Kennesaw State and then played Clemson to the very end in a 14-8 nail-biter in “Death Valley” last Saturday. Georgia Tech’s defense is much better than they have been in the first two years under Geoff Collins, however, the offense still has not taken shape. The Jackets still have problems moving the ball at times and that’s going to be a real problem this week against UNC and with much of their remaining schedule. The biggest bright spot for Georgia Tech this year may just be the fact that they only lost to Clemson by 6 points.
#12 – Syracuse Orange – 2-1 (0-0 ACC)
All I really have to say about Syracuse is that lost to Rutgers…. at home…. by 10 points. Again… they lost to Rutgers. The Orange have been extremely mediocre on offense, as they find themselves ranked right in the middle of the ACC in total offense. Surprisingly, the Orange are tops in the ACC in total defense and fifth in ppg against. Take into account the Orange have played Ohio, Rutgers and Albany. I seriously doubt those rankings will hold has they progress through the conference schedule.
#13 – Miami Hurricanes – 1-2 (0-0 ACC)
Remember when Miami and Florida State were dominant college football programs? Yeah that was a long time ago. The Hurricanes have been by far the biggest disappointment in the ACC, and that’s with the struggles Clemson is currently having. The Canes were right up there with UNC as favorites to win the ACC Coastal this season. While that’s still a possibility, the likeliness of that happening gets slimmer and slimmer each week. The Hurricanes are essentially a one man show on offense as no one has stepped up to help out QB D’Eriq King. And then there’s the issue with the defense. Miami has been outscored by Power 5 teams by a combined 82-30 and nearly lost to App State. The Hurricanes are last in the ACC yards and points given up per game, and are the only team in the ACC to have given up over 100 total points through the first three games. They should get a win this week against Central Connecticut State, but after that the schedule gets a lot tougher as their next four games are against teams that rank in the top 5 in the ACC in total offense. It may be a long year for fans in Coral Gables.
#14 – Florida State Seminoles – 0-3 (0-1 ACC)
Is anybody actually “fearing the spear” anymore? It’s still mind-boggling that teams in the ACC can look at their conference schedule and see FSU as a for sure win. The college football world thought FSU was turning the corner in the opening OT loss to Notre Dame. Now it seems like that was just a good game between mediocre to bad football teams. The Noles followed up that heartbreaking loss with an even more heartbreaking loss by letting FCS opponent Jacksonville State score on a last second miraculous Hail Mary. Follow that up with a blowout ACC loss to Wake Forest in which the Seminoles turned the ball over six times. Things have gone from bad to worse in Tallahassee and there doesn’t seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel. At this moment, Florida State might (and that’s a big might) win two games unless things take a dramatic turn.

|Despite early increases in acute kidney injury, invasive treatment is associated with better long-term outcomes than conservative management.|
|Invasive treatment options for acute coronary syndromes (ACS) might be underused in patients at high risk for renal disease because of concerns about contrast-induced renal failure and other complications. However, comparative data on renal outcomes in patients managed invasively versus conservatively are lacking. Therefore, investigators conducted a cohort study involving 10,516 patients presenting with non-ST-segment-elevation ACS in Alberta, Canada, 41% of whom received early invasive management (coronary catheterization within 2 days after hospital admission). Stratification according to baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate and propensity-score matching resulted in a cohort of 6768 participants.
Compared with conservative management, early invasive therapy was associated with an increased risk for acute renal injury (10.3% vs. 8.7%, P=0.019), but treatments did not differ in risk for dialysis (0.4% vs. 0.3%, P=0.670) during the index hospitalization. During a median follow-up of 2.5 years, the risk for progression to end-stage renal disease did not differ between the two groups (0.3 vs. 0.4 events per 100 person-years, P=0.712). Moreover, early invasive treatment was associated with reduced long-term mortality (2.4 vs. 3.4 events per 100 person-years; P<0.001). The relative reduction in mortality risk was consistent across all strata of baseline renal function.
Although early invasive treatment of acute coronary syndromes increased the risk for acute renal injury compared with conservative management, it did not affect risk for dialysis or progression to end-stage renal disease. The improvements in long-term survival at all levels of baseline renal function suggest that invasive therapy should not be withheld for fear of renal complications.

For more than 50 years, people said that the "Pinocchio Lizard" (horned anole lizard), called such for its long, protruding nose, was extinct, but that was just a fib by nature.
In 2005, it was found living at the tops of tall trees in the cloud forests of Ecuador. Like many species that are considered rare or endangered, it is instead the case that there are not many of them and never have been, and they are limited to a small area.
Why the nose? Only the males have long noses, and they appear to be used in social interactions, both among males and between males and females. Previous investigators had wondered if the nasal appendage served as a weapon of some sort in male-male interactions.

Behind the glitter - a behind the scenes blog
Posted by Rehearsal Room on 23rd Nov 2012 at 11:52 | 2 comments
A giant gob stopper, headless horses, lots of cow print and glitter everywhere! No – this wasn’t a dream - This was my one week stint behind the scenes on this year’s Playhouse rock ‘n’ roll panto Jack and the Beanstalk. I spent my week working alongside the lovely Stage Management Team (SMT) and watching the multi-talented actors in rehearsals.
I was excited to start by helping to create a giant gob stopper. We began to ‘scrim ‘an exercise ball – I didn’t know what that meant either until this week (It’s like a fancy papier-mâché but instead of paper you use a mesh fabric.) The ball would then be painted in a range of colours and be used on stage, but for what you’ll have to wait and see! I’ve always loved arts and crafts but after a couple of hours sat awkwardly on a cold concrete floor and not being able to drink our cups of tea because our hands were covered in glue we decided to do something else.
Later we started to drill screws into a prop, but let’s just say DIY wasn’t my thing so the SMT changed tactics by heading back into arts and crafts and began covering props in lots and lots of glitter (now I was in my comfort zone!). We added glitter to everything even my phone now has glitter stuck in the speaker. One Panto rule I have learnt this week is that, if you think something is glittery enough, it’s almost definitely not. It was so good to be allowed to add my own ideas to props and voice my thoughts on how things should look, I felt like I was instantly part of the team plus I now have drilling as a new skill under my glittery belt.
My day in rehearsals was spent sitting with the DSM Gemma (once I’d found the very well hidden studio in the pouring rain). I got to see a sneak preview of the opening scenes of the production, it was a really special opportunity to be allowed to see how the cast bring the script to life, the chemistry between characters is brilliant and very funny and what was most amazing was how well they sang, acted, danced and played lots of instruments - I’m now so excited to see the final production it will be fantastic and I am so thankful that I was able to see a glimpse behind the beanstalk.
