If this is true, it's a pretty outrageous "job action" to protestbudget issues in NYC. The Post alleges Sanitation Department workers slow walked snow removal in the outer boroughs, leaving residential streets clogged after last weekend's blizzard.
Roads are plowed now and higher temperatures should alleviate the situation. With such a large storm in a large city, I had defended the difficulties in getting streets cleared. I am sure many people did work hard to clear the snow, but if this report is true, it's a shameful black eye on organized labor in the public sector.
It's doubtful any of this could be proven, but now hearings will be held.

Greymouth Star On-line
An ill-equipped Welshman who went
on a solo tramp above the snowline near
Fox Glacier yesterday wearing sneakers
and jeans, is lucky to be alive after he
called police from Mount Fox concerned
about his position.
Police said today the 24-year-old’s
expedition was a classic example of
somebody who did everything wrong,
with no idea of the volatility of New
Zealand backcountry conditions.
“ It could have been a totally different
story had the weather packed up,” senior
sergeant Paul Watson, of Greymouth,
“O verseas visitors underestimate our
conditions because things change so
The overseas tramper was “totally

indicating his intentions to anyone
and was poorly dressed, without even a
The fact he was able call police to
say he was in trouble was pure luck,
Mr Watson said.
“ It was purely by chance he had a
cellphone with him and had coverage.”
The tourist had set out late yesterday
morning for what is supposed to be a
four-hour walk up Mount Fox, but by
early afternoon he was in trouble.
He was fortunately able to call police
from the mountainside at 2.20pm
saying he was stuck in snow due to
the deteriorating weather and he was
worried about his situation.
After police checked with local search
and rescue volunteers on the state of the
weather — which was clearing at the
time — the man was advised to start
trying to return down the route he had
used to get up the mountain.
Meanwhile, the sole Ross policeman
was dispatched south to Fox Glacier and
walked in towards Mount Fox.
He met the tramper on the track about
20 minutes’ walk from the road end
about 3.5 hours later, at 5.40pm.
“ He was wearing jeans and fabric
sneakers which is totally the incorrect
type of clothing when trekking in an
alpine area,” Mr Watson said.
The man also had no map, compass or
torch and was only carrying a light day
pack with no real food supply.
Rescued from above snowline
A group of Chinese tourists waited an
hour in freezing temperatures after their
bus lost control in snow and ploughed
into a bank near Makarora, on the Haast
Pass highway last night.
Lake Hawea Volunteer Brigade chief
fire officer Brent Arthur said he arrived
at the crash site to find the stricken
tour group huddled together in the cold
outside the 20-seater bus.
No one was injured but the tourists
were shaken by the ordeal.
“The vehicle was still on its wheels
but precariously wedged up a bank on a
45-degree angle,” Mr Arthur said.
“They were probably looking at an
hour for help to arrive. I think they were
cold enough by the time the first crews
The bus was travelling on State
highway 6 from Queenstown to Fox
Glacier when it skidded off the road,
which was covered in 5cm of snow.
Ten people, including a driver, were
on board. Mr Arthur said the stranded
passengers were thankful to be rescued
in such awful conditions.
“They were a bit frightened but very
pleased to see us. They were also quite
apologetic. They kept commenting on
how helpful and friendly we were.”
The tour party was bundled into a fire
and emergency van, a police car and
ambulance and taken to Lake Hawea.
“ We took them back to the Lake
Hawea Fire Station and managed to
keep them warm and gave them coffee
and something to eat.”
They managed to find a small bus and
ferried the tour party to Wanaka, where
they spent the night at a local hotel.
The Haast Pass highway was closed to
traffic soon after the crash. This morning
the bus and trailer remained on the side
of the road wedged on the bank awaiting
recovery. — New Zealand Herald

About 30 trucks were stranded at Springs

Police praised driver behaviour, and it
seems many commercial vehicles had
delayed travel ahead of the cold snap.
All passes — Lewis, Arthur’s and Haast
— were closed overnight. The Lewis
reopened late morning, followed by Haast.
However, further snow is forecast for
tomorrow. The Metser vice says the Lewis

Canterbury side to 3pm tomorrow, Arthur’s
Pass could get further showers to midnight,
and Porters Pass is in for a further 20 to
30cm of snow.

Ms Wright said.
“ In many places snow is lying on top of ice,
making driving extremely dangerous.”
Tasman district road policing manager
Inspector Iain McKenzie said the main issue was
ice on the Canterbury side, not snow.
Porters Pass remained closed this morning, due to heavy snow between Springfield and Arthur’s Pass.

Dr. Aliza Erber may have been too young to remember the Holocaust, but she was a victim along with millions of others whose lives and families were decimated by the Nazis.
Erber, a rabbi and a podiatrist, was born in April 1943 in Holland. As an infant she became one of the “hidden children” of the Holocaust after her mother sent her to an underground bunker in the care of a doctor and nurses who were bravely trying to save Jewish babies.
This wasn’t simply a subterranean day care center, but a place where the infants had tape placed over their mouths so their cries couldn’t be heard beyond the walls while kept in the dark around the clock. It sounds cruel, but it likely spared Erber’s life.
For much of her adult life, Erber, whose father was killed and who was reunited with her mother after World War II, has dedicated herself to educating others about the Holocaust and the dangers wrought by hate.
“The aftermath of evil and brutality is like poisonous gas,” Erber said. “It spreads into every pore and crevice of your being, especially your mind. When I speak to young groups, to groups of young people, I emphasize to them the importance of being an upstander and not looking away. I tell them that because of upstanders I am here today. I want them to know the Holocaust did happen.”
Erber was one the keynote speakers Tuesday afternoon at Westchester County’s annual Yom Hashoah Holocaust Commemoration at the Garden of Remembrance in downtown White Plains. It coincided with the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.
A few hundred attended the nearly hourlong ceremony presented by the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center (HHREC) which also featured a procession of Torahs, held by representatives from more than 30 synagogues and Jewish organizations across the county, that had been rescued from Europe during the Holocaust.
Students from Hillels of Westchester, as well as Somers and North Salem high schools, lit six memorial candles to remember the six million Jews killed during the Holocaust.
HHREC Chairman Michael Gyory told the crowd that despite it being 80 years since the Holocaust, the world isn’t all that far removed from its horrors. There are still survivors alive, although their numbers are dwindling. All four of Gyory’s grandparents were murdered in Nazi camps.
His parents were teenagers in Budapest, Hungary when war broke out and their way of life ended with breathtaking speed simply for being Jewish. He said it was critical to honor his ancestors and all those lost.
“Normally I would ask you for a moment of silence, but on this Holocaust Remembrance Day, I am asking you for a lifetime of speaking up,” Gyory said. “Unfortunately, there is no escaping the reality of brutality and hate in our world, and on this Remembrance Day, we can all choose to talk about humans’ unimaginable inhumanity with each other, and I embrace that opportunity and we should speak up and advocate for dignity and respect for all people.”
County Executive George Latimer said while Yom Hashoash is a day to remember those lost, it’s also a day to never forget, particularly with what is happening around the world today, including in the United States, with the rise of anti-Semitic incidents and Holocaust denialism.
He quoted a small portion of Hitler’s rantings from “Mein Kepmf,” published in 1925, eight years before he rose to power in Germany. Latimer compared it to the hate spewed from the dark corners of social media today.
“There is a universality of prejudice. We are here to mark what was the single greatest example of anti-Semitic hatred that went from rhetoric to murder, mass murder,” Latimer said.
“That tree, a branch of that tree of hatred that has that anti-Semitic wing, has in another one the anti-Asian rhetoric. and then in another one racism, and in another one misogyny, in another one anti-LGBTQ. It all comes from the same tree, the tree of hatred in which we do not see each other as brothers and sisters. We see each other as the other, and that seed of prejudice, when watered with rhetoric, grows into that tree with the evil branches that come out of it.”

Shaw, Stephen (1980) Political ideas, values and ideology: a study of the Conservative Party views on education 1944-1966. PhD thesis, University of Nottingham.
This thesis is a study of Conservative Party views on education during the period 1944-1966, and, in particular, it considers the extent to which a ‘conservative ideology’ is implicit in Conservative attitudes and policies.
Chapter one examines some of the ways in which the term 'ideology' has been used. It suggests that it may be used to describe a body of ideas and values which, though not necessarily set down as a comprehensive system of ideas, may be seen to be implicit in the policies and statements of members of a political group. Such an ideology may then be described by theorists, not as a guide to action, but more as a reflection upon past and present actions and attitudes. As such, some ideas associated with conservatism are examined.
Chapter two considers the extent to which a conservative ideology was implicit in the structure of education in England and Wales before World War Two and suggests that Conservative acceptance of the 1944 Education Act, was in part, the result of a shift in attitudes to society and policies within the country.
Chapter three considers Conservative acceptance of the implementation of the 1944 Act, mainly by the Attlee Government.
Chapters four to seven examine attitudes to education during the period of Conservative Government 1951-64 and trace the emergence of the case for comprehensive education and the development of the Conservative case, which, basically opposed a fully comprehensive system. Chapter eight summarises the Conservative position in the mid 1960's.
Chapter nine summarises Conservative attitudes to education 1944-1966 and considers the extent to which a conservative ideology may be seen to be implicit in these attitudes and policies.

One of the most significant yet incognito positions in the world of sports is the offensive lineman. He protects his quarterback’s blind side, repels the massive rushers from touching his running back, and holds off the defense until the referee’s whistle ends the play. His job is to primarily block, not run, and is even discouraged from receiving a pass. However, he scores indirectly for every offensive touchdown and the absence of statistics for the offensive lineman does not justify his impactful contribution towards a team’s success.
In place of last year’s seniors, Claude Cole ‘18 and Thomas Diamond ‘18 found themselves undertaking this heavy responsibility for a highly-respected Bellarmine football team. Both juniors experienced journeys far different from their counterparts and their stories on how they attained status as a member of the varsity team are reasons why they are both this month’s pair athlete feature.
For Claude, football was destined to be his primary sport. As the junior steps off the morning Caltrain 210 amongst dreary-eyed students, he stated, “I always enjoyed the sport; I was over the weight class so football was unlimited.” Claude graduated David Starr Jordan Middle School of Palo Alto alongside fellow Bell, Jack Devine ‘18. Before his arrival to Bellarmine, Claude gathered laurels from his middle school’s basketball A team and played for the Palo Alto Midnights, a highly-recognized AAU West Coast basketball team.
When Claude became a Bellarmine freshman, however, he wanted to allocate the majority of his time towards football. Claude entered sophomore year on the Junior Varsity squad as a two-way starter which he attributes to his tall and built stature. Initially, Claude expressed that the decision to play football was a controversial one. “My dad was okay with it, but my mom didn’t want me to play mainly because of concussions,” divulged the lineman. Now, Claude is fighting for the starting spot on the offensive line with multiple seniors and juniors of his caliber. “The practice times are the same; it’s just a lot more demanding as well as there’s a lot more plays,” he notes.
At the end of the day, Claude just aims to improve at the sport he dearly enjoys. “I just hope to get better at this sport and learn more about my position and how to play the game,” he said. His brother Constantine Cole entered as a part of the Class of 2020 and when asked if we might see another Cole join the ranks of Bellarmine football, Claude chuckled and said, “He might play next year, but he plays basketball and I think that’s his main sport.”
Thomas Diamond ‘18 accompanies Claude as they get off at the College Park station. The bright, cheery junior laughs charismatically as he and Claude make their way to their first period classes. A year ago, however, Thomas was not a Bellarmine student, but rather an American living in Denmark. For four years, Thomas resided in Hellerup—in the metropolitan area of Copenhagen—with his family. When asked about his recent experience here at Bellarmine, Thomas said, “I like Bellarmine a lot; Ever since I got here, I felt like the sense of brotherhood. In the team, there’s a strong bond between the players.”
Brotherhood was not the only value that Thomas discovered for he also stated that his offensive/defensive lineman coach, Mr. Henry, has “really taught [him] how to really play the game here at Bellarmine.” The junior additionally reflected the difference between Danish football and football in America. “Of course there’s a very big shift between the Danish football and the American football; it’s a lot more competitive and a lot more demanding here while in Denmark it was a lot more laid back,” he said. Although this is the first year Thomas is exposed to the ferocity of the West Catholic Athletic League and the competitive Central Coast Section, the junior believes that the team will once again succeed in the conference match-ups and knows that the team will at least qualify for the Open Division playoffs. Outside of football, Thomas plans to devote his time to Bellarmine’s Rugby Club.
As the first bell rings, Claude and Thomas share a final laugh and part ways. They are the linemen and they are proud of what they do on the Bellarmine football field.
On Friday’s Senior Night, Claude Cole (#55) and Thomas Diamond (#70) helped lead the Bells to victory over Archbishop Riordan at San Jose City College with a final score of 55-14.

“Being an artist has something to do with being brave enough to move toward what makes you come alive.” Emily Freeman A Million Little Ways Pg. 20
What makes you come alive?
Being alive is becoming real and this doesn’t happen overnight. Real isn’t how I am made,’ it’s a thing that happens to me. I’m realizing more and more everyday how much God loves me.
I’m beautiful in God’s eyes no matter what. Jesus died for my sins so that I may have life. It’s in His resurrection that I’m alive. I’m so thankful and my heart dances with a burning desire to serve.
Serving my children and husband is my art. I’m creating memories one brush stroke at a time.
“Art means believing that the God who created the world with words alone creates with words still, through us — whether it be on a stage to thousands or in a corner with one. “Emily Freeman A Million Little Ways, Pg. 20
I think it’s hard to be authentic when we don’t feel real and loved. I want to love others with a pure heart.
The Velveteen Rabbit is an adorable story about becoming real. I can relate and maybe you can too.
The Velveteen Rabbit Quotes (showing 1-16 of 16)
“Real isn’t how you are made,’ said the Skin Horse. ‘It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.’ ‘Does it hurt?’ asked the Rabbit. ‘Sometimes,’ said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. ‘When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.’ ‘Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,’ he asked, ‘or bit by bit?’ ‘It doesn’t happen all at once,’ said the Skin Horse. ‘You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.” ― Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit
“Art is what happens when you dare to be who you really are. You have the power to influence, to move, to make, to become.” Emily Freeman, A Million Little Ways, Pg. 21
My six year old boy and five year old daughter are creative, talented, loving, and of course little rascals at times. They are God’s amazing creation. I’m on a mommy mission every day to raise world shakers and history makers. My desire is to encourage my kids to seek Jesus for direction as we observe His life and to Love others. God’s love is what makes me come alive and I depend on Him to breathe His creative art right through me.
I make parenting mistakes all the time. We all do. It’s all right. We are learning.
Our kids are learning.
But, at the end of the day can we say, “Yes I loved and my love is what makes others feel real.”
My love towards others makes me come alive!!!
Mommas what we do matters!

Hi Betsy!!! Serving is a beautiful thing isn’t it. Especially when we do it in the light of God’s forever love. His love is contagious. I can’t help but want to serve, because He so graciously serves us. Blessings to you Betsy on this day. The day that the Lord has made!!!!!
This is so encouraging, Lisa. I love Emily’s and Velveteen Rabbit’s quotes. And this really touched the longings in my heart – “God’s love is what makes me come alive and I depend on Him to breathe His creative art right through me.” How very true! We need Him so much! Thank you for sharing this and for visiting my blog so I could find this today. 🙂

Fox News Executive Suggests 'Darker, Gayer' Olympians Will Be Bad At Sports
UPDATE: A Fox News spokesperson says, “John Moody’s column does not reflect the views or values of Fox News and has been removed.”
Fox News occasionally tries to play down its innate racism and homophobia. This week, Fox News executive editor and executive vice president John Moody took the gloves off.
Even though the U.S. Olympic team remains overwhelmingly white and straight, Moody attacked the team and said this year's group of "'darker, gayer, different" athletes will let the country down.
"Unless it’s changed overnight, the motto of the Olympics, since 1894, has been 'Faster, Higher, Stronger,'" he wrote. "It appears the U.S. Olympic Committee would like to change that to 'Darker, Gayer, Different.' If your goal is to win medals, that won’t work."
Is there any way to read that opening paragraph other than as an attack on LGBT people and people of color?
The op-ed was written in response to a Washington Post piece that celebrated a more diverse U.S. Olympic team than ever before.
"USOC officials are pleased the team includes more African Americans and Asian Americans — and even the first two openly gay men — than recent winter squads," wrote reporter Rick Mease for the Post. "But they also realize this year’s U.S. Olympic team, not unlike those of most other nations gathering in PyeongChang this week, is still overwhelmingly white."
Moody believes this marginally more diverse team risks losing the U.S. some medals.
When minorities are excluded from participation in an activity, like the Olympics, it limits the candidate pool. Eliminating barriers to those who have historically been excluded, like people of color and members of the LGBT community, can actually raise the quality of potential Olympians, making victory more, not less likely.
Assuming that a more diverse Olympic team will be less competitive is disrespectful to the athletes who devote their lives to representing the U.S. on the world stage. They deserve better.

Ok, enough slamming on my truck... hoping it will get fixed up no probs again. I have noticed my fuel pump ticking noise has diminished a lot now, used to sound like a sewing machine when she was running and now I assume it has broken in enough to be a nice sounding mechanical noise...40,000 km on her now.
Anyone else notice it's quieter?

|Snap the Whip, by Winslow Homer (Metropolitan Museum of Art)|
"When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully,” Dr. Johnson once quipped.
This can happen even when the person is not quite a man, or woman, but a teenager. A high school student, say, and the threat isn't the certainty of being strung up in two weeks but the possibility of being gunned down in the indeterminate future.
Never underestimate the motivational power of the prospect of being killed. Or of having your friends killed.
We saw it in the Vietnam era, when college students set down their bongo drums and picked up protest signs.
We saw it this past month — in just 30 days — as students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School did not merely mourn 17 slain classmates, nor limit themselves to piling teddy bears. Instead they pushed past their inert elders and took on our country's insane gun culture and the National Rifle Association.
And we'll see it Wednesday, with the National Student Walkout, when students at thousands of schools leave class for 17 minutes, one minute for every murdered Parkland student. It a litmus test of the mental agility of school administrators whether they embraced this rare moment of youthful solidarity or fought it.
As my colleague Lauren FitzPatrick reported, Chicago Public Schools gave tacit approval. “I want to make sure our students have an opportunity to express themselves and engage thoughtfully in this national dialogue," CPS CEO Janice Jackson said.

The designs use premium and woven leather as well as rope to create bracelets that wrap around your wrists. They are fastened by copper, silver, or gold plated metal hardware. The clasps are designed like anchors, fishing hooks or sea barrels, that secure the blue, black or brown leather to your wrists. The ropes include knots that echo the fastening devices that keep sea boats close to the shore.

A protest outside Ballinamore Post Office last week. Photo by Eunan Sweeney
A local action group has been set up in Ballinamore against any relocation of the current Post Office from High Street, Ballinamore.
A protest in support of the Martin family to retain the Post Office outlet was held in the town last week.
The Martin family have been the landlords and operators of postal services in the locality for more than 80 years.
Brian Martin is the temporary Post Master, he was contracted last year, but there is no end date to his contract.
Mr Martin told the paper he applied for the permanent position of Post Master but was refused.
He said An Post offered “no reason” why his application was refused.
A new Post Master has been appointed by An Post. A spokesperson for the company told the paper, “Following the recent process to select a new contractor, An Post is planning a new, top quality new Post Office for its Ballinamore customers. We expect that it will open its doors in mid-October and we will make a formal announcement closer to the opening day.”
She said, “In the meantime it is business as usual at the current office.” An Post also confirmed the current staff will transfer to the new Post Office.
Brian Martin said he has not been notified of any date for change of service and as it stands he is the current Postmaster.
Mr Martin said the family “appreciate the local support” and they want to do best by the community.
Speaking on behalf of the local action group spokesperson Joey Smith said that they wished to send very clear messages to the “powers that be in An Post – that there is widespread support for Mrs Miriam Martin and her family in retaining the Post Office outlet and that every effort will be made to prevent the postal business being moved away from High St. which could result in a further premises being closed up.”
He stated, “It is vitally important for the survival of a small town like Ballinamore that businesses and services are spread right throughout the entire town.”

Songs from the British Isles
“The Foggy Dew” is an Irish ballad written by Canon Charles O’Neill, a parish priest of Kilcoo in County Down in the north of Ireland.
The song lyrics deal with the Irish Easter Uprising of 1916. It is an appeal for Irishmen to fight for their freedom rather than fight for the English in foreign wars.
The melody of ‘The Foggy Dew’ is based on an old traditional Irish song called the ‘Banks of Moorlough Shore’.
Over the Stone
The tune of ‘Over the Stone’ is a traditional Welsh melody. The sentiments are attributed to Rhys Bodychen, who led a troop of Welsh forces at the Battle of Bosworth Field where Richard III was defeated by Henry Tudor in 1485.
The English lyrics are by John Oxenford.
Rolling Down to Old Maui
‘Rolling Down to Old Maui’ is a well-known sea song.
After ‘six hellish months’ of whaling in the cold waters of the Kamchatka sea the crew of a whaling vessel are longing to return to Maui, one of the Hawaiian islands where Pacific whalers used to meet.
The song comes from Gale Huntington’s ‘Songs the Whaleman Sang’. The words of the song were taken from the 1858 log of the ship Atkins Adams out of New Bedford and the melody was found in Frederick Harlow’s ‘Chanteying Aboard American Ships’ (1962).
The Irish Girl
We found this beautiful and very melodic ballad in ‘Eighty English Folk Songs’ song book by Cecil J.Sharp and Maud Karpeles, who travelled through and explored the Southern Appalachian Mountains on their memorable expeditions during the years 1916 to 1918 to make an incredible collection of folk songs and ballads which had been treasured and handed down by word of mouth through generations. In our interpretation of the song we kept the original melody as it was in the book and also added a little vocal part to go in between the main verses, which hopefully adds new colours to the song.
This is an Irish folk ballad which dates from the 18th century, though the original roots of the song are not very clear. Carrickfergus is a town in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The song is believed to have been first known as ‘The Sick Young Lover’ and it could have been a combination of English and Irish melodies. The song makes you feel nostalgic as it evolves, it brings back memories of the past and enchants you with its sad beauty.
Whiskey in the Jar
This is a classic Irish street ballad and is undoubtedly one of the most famous and most widely performed Irish songs of all time. It is a story of a brave highwayman who robs an officer and goes through a number of mishaps.
Various versions of the song are known. The song’s exact origins are unclear but it dates as far back as the 17th century when highwaymen were admired and liked in British folk music. The lyrics are both rebellious and inspirational and the ballad is very emotional.
The song is also known under the title ‘Kilgary Mountain’, though no Kilgary Mountain exists in Ireland…
The Wild Rover
‘The Wild Rover’ is one of the most popular and widely performed Irish folk songs ever. Its exact origins are unknown. Various versions of the song are known and it has been found in written records since the late sixteenth century. It is referred to as a drinking song or in some sources as a temperance song as it is believed it was originally written. For many people ‘The Wild Rover’ is a stereotypical Irish drinking song which tells a story of a man who’s “… been a wild rover for many’s the year and… spent all (his) money on whiskey and beer…”
Down by the Glenside
The song was originally written by Peadar Kearney around the time of the 1916 rebellion and it commemorates earlier Irish uprisings. It is set to an old air and is also known under the title ‘The Bold Fenian Men’.
Brendan Behan, on his record of his Irish folk songs, says, ‘This song was written by a brother of my mother’s, and I understand featured in an American film, ‘West of the Rio Grande’(1950).

This Film is NOT a Future Release.
The Following Preview has been Archived.
January 18th, 2006:
Eric Bana plays Huck Cheever, a young and talented poker player hindered by his personal demons. When he comes to Las Vegas in search of a World Championship, he meets a struggling singer named Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore). As she grows to care for him, she becomes determined to help him resolve his problems. Ultimately, Huck must tackle his fears all at once as he heads for a poker showdown with his estranged father (Robert Duvall).What to Expect:
Although the plot sounds a tad syrupy and formulaic, it should be handled with competence judging by the filmmakers involved. The director, Curtis Hanson, is now a respected filmmaker after three consecutive critical successes. He first gained overwhelming recognition after the superbly crafted film-noir thriller L.A. Confidential. The film neatly navigated through a complex storyline filled with deceitful characters and would have surely won the Best Picture Oscar if Titanic had not been released the same year. Hanson again showed ease with difficult material when he made Wonder Boys, another densely structured film. The comedy was a pleasure to watch, especially with Michael Douglas delivering an incredibly original and amusing performance. Following Wonder Boys, Hanson helmed the gritty Eminem biopic, 8 Mile. Based on the famous rapperís true-life story, the film was a tremendous success with critics and fans. Hansonís last film, In Her Shoes was a surprisingly small-scale character drama. With all of the above movies, the director has shown his tremendous range in subject matter, but has always kept his work character driven. Eric Roth, who has numerous successes under his belt as well, wrote the screenplay for Lucky You. His Academy Award winning script for Forrest Gump is at the top of his list of credits, which also includes screenplays for Michael Mannís The Insider and Steven Spielbergís Munich. The experienced duo of Hanson and Roth should ease anyoneís doubts about Lucky You. Article continues below
The cast in the film should be fun to watch. The charming Eric Bana is slowly becoming a bankable actor in Hollywood after his breakthrough role in Ang Leeís Hulk as the mild mannered Bruce Banner, who transforms into the green giant. Bana effectively handled the lead in the major production based on the comic book. Since then, he has made two more films, the disappointing Troy and the controversial Munich. I initially felt that a role in Steven Spielbergís film may be too demanding for Bana to handle, but he pulled off another respectable performance. Robert Duvall, who will play Huckís father, is one of the most distinguished actors alive. The Oscar winning legendís list of illustrious credits is far too long to discuss here. Since I canít remember him ever turning in less than satisfactory work, his inclusion in the cast is a definite plus for the film and for everyone involved. With the unpredictable Robert Downey Jr. and numerous real-life poker players expected to make an appearance, the cast should deliver quality entertainment overall. Unfortunately, I canít say the same thing about Drew Barrymore. While I have nothing against her personally, I feel that she does not have the background to handle a serious role of this type. She carries a cheerful personality thatís often good for comedy, but causes her to stick out in a lot of her movies. Choosing Barrymore as a low-key Vegas singer that exudes a worldly wisdom, might detract from the filmís realism. Hopefully, Hanson will be able to direct her into a more subtle performance.
Lucky You couldnít possibly come out at a better time, with professional poker at its peak in terms of popularity. You canít change the TV channel without finding a poker match on somewhere. Like with his previous films, Hanson should be able to effectively recreate the setting that the characters inhabit. The grueling world of Vegas poker will provide an atmospheric universe for the story. Having shown great care with their characters in the past, Hanson and Roth can handle the on-screen relationships without allowing them to become exceedingly predictable. The film will probably follow the time-tested formula of the hero overcoming adversity to achieve victory, but with Hansonís direction it should avoid the most routine outcomes. In addition, I expect Hanson to share some valuable secrets, showing a well-researched understanding of the gambling world.In Conclusion:
Lucky You appears to be a solid, realistic, character driven piece of entertainment. It will be less about poker and more about the personal dramas that unfold. While it should deliver some thrills, I doubt that it will have the same energy if someone like Scorsese directed it. With the proficient writer-director team in charge it has tremendous potential to become an exceptional film. Curtis Hanson has a knack for classic Hollywood filmmaking and audiences respond well to his movies. At the very least, it will be an enjoyable way to spend two hours and should deliver some fine acting performances.Similar Titles: The Color of Money

Spanish news outlet, La Nueva Cronica has reported that Leeds United are looking to sign Emi Buendia from his parent club Getafe on a loan deal for the rest of the season. The 21-year-old is already serving a loan spell with Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa and has racked up 3 goals and 7 assists in 24 appearances this season.
However judging by a recent turn of events, the striker’s terms with the Segunda Division club might have soured and a probable departure is looking more and more likely. His former teammate, Yelko Pino had expressed his displeasure with the Spanish outfit in a video which was recorded by Buendia and shared on social media. This caused outrage amongst the fanbase and forced the management to part ways with Pino and now it looks like Buendia will also have to find a different side to play for.
The duo was forced to apologise to fans and Buendia was quoted, “I want to apologise to the whole Cultural family for the unfortunate content that I published on my personal social networks this morning, it was a joke, a comment from my teammate towards me and that, at no time, was directed with intent to Cultural or anything that this great club represents, I have published the situation decontextualized and offered an image of my partner that is never the real one.”
The entire move to England was speculated earlier in the season over Cultural’s close relationship with the Whites but never seemed to have the greatest of odds. But in the current climate, the transfer might just turn out to be fruitful for both parties, with Cultural clearing a significant amount of wage bill to make way for another player.
Leeds United, on the other hand, will be benefitted by the arrival of a goalscorer – something they are in dire need of for the remainder of the season. They are currently struggling in the second division of English football, having lost 3 of their last 4 games and making the steep drop to the 10th spot of the points table.
What started out to be one of the best chances of pushing for a promotion has turned into a dark and disappointing campaign for Thomas Christiansen who is struggling with a lack of attacking threat from the side. With Samuel Saiz currently sidelined for behavioural conduct and Pierre-Michel Lasogga failing to chip in regularly, an addition to the final third is necessary to improve their chances of making it into the playoffs by the end of the season.

Prasad said that it was decided to provide reservations to SCs and STs in proportion to their population in state assemblies
The Lok Sabha on Tuesday took up for discussion a Bill to extend the reservation for SCs and STs in the Lower House and state assemblies by ten years with Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad urging the members to pass the legislation unanimously to convey its commitment to ensuring the welfare of these sections.
Moving the Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth Amendment) Bill, 2019, for passage in the Lok Sabha, Prasad said that the Constitution makers had thought it necessary to give political reservation to SCs and STs. The Bill seeks to extend the reservation in legislatures by ten years.
Prasad said that there was also a provision of reservation for Anglo-Indians but the government had not brought it to the House and "was deliberating on it".
According to the 2011 census, there were 296 members of the Anglo-Indian community, the minister said.
With opposition members raising questions on the government's move, Prasad said that the Congress in the past had ended concessions given to them in postal department and railways.
He said opposition members should do their "homework" before raising an issue. "We have not closed the doors," the minister said.
Prasad said that it was decided to provide reservations to SCs and STs in proportion to their population in state assemblies.
The minister outlined that the reservation was given to make up for the discrimination these communities had suffered due to prevalent social evils in the Hindu community. "If they faced discrimination for historical reasons, it is the constitutional duty of Parliament (to provide reservation)," he said.
Prasad informed the House that 84 of 543 seats in Lok Sabha were reserved for SCs and 47 for STs. In states, he said, 614 of 4,120 seats were reserved for SCs.
The minister said the SC population was 20.6 crore and ST population was 10.45 crore, according to 2011 census.
Prasad noted that there was a need for the Bill to be brought as the reservation for SCs and STs will end on January 25, 2020.

Modern Art did all the kinds of photos we wanted for our big wedding day and more! We gave our photographer samples of what we liked and he did exactly as we asked. He came out to the site to scope the angles and get ideas weeks beforehand. We also provided him a list with the combinations of photos and he made sure that he went down the list and got all of the combinations of the wedding party and family that we wanted. The photos of the ceremony were phenomenal and he captured every minute of the hour long ceremony. We can basically relive the moment by looking at each photo and remember which part of the ceremony it was. We asked that he do a private photo shoot with the bride and groom, the wedding party, the extended family, and artsy photos of the rings, boquets, etc. He had many different lenses and lightings he used and knew exactly when and where to use them. Modern Art was very responsive to our needs and very directable/flexible. I highly recommend this company to anyone having a major event or wedding. Robert is easy to work with and very open to your ideas. I got exactly what I was looking for in Modern Photography.
Awesome work. He does an outstanding job and truly is one of the nicest people my wife and I have encountered.
Robert exceeded our expectations on our wedding day!! We immediately knew after our engagement shoot that the wedding day would be just as great! He was wonderful, fun and you can tell how much he really enjoys his job and captures every moment! I had fear that him being one person he would miss moments but boy was I wrong! I would highly recommend Robert and plan to use him as well in our future!
Robert was very easy to work with. He was at the place very early, even visited the venue before the event. He was very flexible and open to whatever we wanted to do, got in a canoe to take pictures of us in the lake. The album was beautiful.
Robert is a great photographer who approaches an assignment both with professionalism and care. One of the hardest things to find as far as vendors go, is someone who is readily available. Robert answered all of our questions and addressed any concerns the same day. During the photoshoot, he made us feel comfortable and took great photos. We also got our pictures back, edited, within a few days of shooting both for the engagement pictures and wedding pictures. You definitely get your money's worth and more. I would recommend Robert to anyone I know.
Robert was wondeful! Always professional, always responsive, always flexible and the pictures were perfect. I highly recommend Robert!
Robert was great to work with - extremely responsive when setting up plans and very flexible to our input. During the wedding he took some great photographs and was there all day with us. He was completely unobtrusive during the wedding, yet somehow found ways to get just the right pictures. We were married at Edgefield and Robert wandered nearly the entire property with us looking for little hidden gems of a setting to get some excellent shots. We highly recommend Modern Art Photography.
Robert is nothing short of a magical! He is the consummate professional, from the consult to the wedding day to the timely delivery of the photos. I have seen other photographers at my friends weddings and I have to tell you he is honestly the best one I have come across. With each group of people from the wedding party to the guests to the family, he knew exactly how to quickly put everyone at ease and get the best pictures. He has an amazing eye for locations and seeing how some of the shots turned out I was so impressed by the framing. I have hundreds of amazing photos from my wedding which I will always treasure, I couldn't be happier with how they turned out.
I think one of the things that makes Robert so easy to work with that on top of being an amazing photographer, he is a genuinely good person and cares about his clients needs and vision for what they want out of the pictures. I cannot recommend him enough.
I cannot speak highly enough of Robert Knapp and Modern Art Photograph. He did a beautiful job on our engagement photos and took our breath away on our wedding photos.
He was so professional and flexible. He woke up at the crack of dawn to photograph our pre-wedding crossfit workout! He was there when my bouquet was delivered, and it was different than what I had expected, and he was so kind and reassured me that it looked great. Every person in the wedding party kept telling me how much fun our photographer was and how excited they were to see the photos.
I also cannot believe how fast he got our photos back to us.
His creativity is incredible and he worked so well with our videographer as well. He used an amazing blend of photo journalism and posed pictures. I would recommend him to anyone, and I can say without a doubt that I will use Modern Art Photograph for all of our future photography needs.
I would definitely recommend this photographer to everyone that is looking for photographers. On time, precise, responds quick and in timely manor, and is flexible with dates and locations of photo shoot. Overall, I am happy to have chosen Modern Art Photograph for my Wedding Photographer. Five Stars All The Way!
We had Modern Art Photographer do our wedding and couldn’t be happier! Great personality, very professional, easy going, very affordable and an overall great value. We selected the whole day package- which was a great because we got every moment of the day. He showed up while my bridesmaids and I got ready and stayed til the very end of the night! It was nice not worrying about hourly cost or overtime cost that we were running into with other vendors. The quality of the photos were beautiful - unbelievably vibrant and clear! The nice thing, the photos were ready by the time we got back from our honeymoon, we didn’t have to wait for weeks or months to see them. He was also extremely accessible- replied to emails almost instantaneously, always willing to meet with my then fiancé and I for random meetings and willing to do customization of the photos and packages long after the wedding.
Overall he was a great vendor that we plan on using in the future for anniversary or family photos!
Great photos. Easy going attitude with a great eye for light.
i love working with Robert. he was very professional but at the same time very easy going.
I had met with several photographers before meeting with Robert (Modern Art Photograph), but my search ended there. Not only is he one of the most pleasant people i have met, he is also very professional and courteous. After meeting so many overly arrogant people within this industry, it was so refreshing to sit down with Robert over a cup of coffee and have a great conversation about the wedding and what we were looking for. A few things to remember about Modern Art Photograph when searching for a photographer:
1). He does not have any time restraints! I challenge you to find another photographer that works like that. He did our engagement shoot and our wedding and both were all day events that we paid a flat rate for (not hourly)
2). His prices are great. He actually said to me that he felt some in his industry were charging ridiculous amounts and he would rather book an event every weekend and be doing what he loved than raise his prices.
3). You OWN the rights to the photos and can do whatever you would like with them. He will send you a DVD of all the photos and you don't have to buy prints. That being said, should you like he will put together a beautiful wedding album for you and your family at a very reasonable cost.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience and we love our photos. He captured the energy and emotion of our special day and we are so grateful. Highly recommended!
Never use any one else for photography. Robert is so easy going and took over 700 quality pics on the wedding day alone. Stress free, total professional, awesome dude, outstanding picture quality. He is so passionate about his work and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. If we ever need a photographer from this point forward we will use him. AMAZING!!!
We highly recommend Modern Art Photography. Outstanding service & quality.

The CMU Mentor Who May Have Kept Antonio Brown Sane
For almost eight whole seasons, Antonio Brown, while far from perfect, kept the lid on his crazy. And then this summer he went off the rails. Could it be because his Central Michigan mentor died?
Antonio Brown dug his own NFL grave over the weekend with a series of tweets that blamed everyone in the football world for his problems except for one person, himself.
As a long time Central Michigan University football fan, I've followed his career since he left CMU after helping the team to the MAC title his junior year.
And while Brown has always had his issues, most stemming from a difficult childhood while growing up in Florida, he had never quite flown off the rails like he did when he reported to Oakland Raider training camp in July.
First, it was burning his feet in a cryochamber, then it was his helmet, then a physical altercation with management. I can't recall his ego ever rearing its ugly head this badly.
If that wasn't enough, his past mistreatment of women emerged, painting the former Chippewa in a very bad light. He then texted on of his alleged victims and threatened her, forcing the New England Patriots, who had given Brown one last chance, to sever their ties with him.
I'm not condoning Brown's actions, especially when it comes to his sexual misconduct with women, but a small tagline in the Sports Illustrated article released last week may offer an explanation on why the pouty wide receiver has seemingly lost his mind.
In the article, the author, Robert Klemko, points out that before this summer, Brown had mentors in Pittsburgh Steeler head coach Mike Tomlin, former CMU coach Butch Jones, and a Michigan State Police Officer named Michael White.
White, a community liaison officer for the MSP was also team chaplain for the Central Michigan University football team, passed away unexpectedly of heart attack in June. He was just 62 years old.
When he died, the tributes to what White meant to the young men around the Mount Pleasant school and community were long and heart felt.
Antonio Brown seems to be a deeply troubled person, and many of his most nefarious actions came while White was still alive. But the fact that he has lost all sense of perspective since White's death may be the sign of a man grieving from a deep loss.
As Toriano Brooks, Brown's old high school coach put it in the SI article:
“Tony is a person who needs that guidance. There are some kids that have been in Tony’s situation who are doing fine. you see them every once in a while and they go about their business. But he needs that one person. He needs to have that individual in his life to say, ‘Tony you’re really hurting yourself right now.’”
Maybe Michael White was that guy. If he was, I hope Antonio finds another mentor, and fast, because he obviously needs help.


5-17-04 - Gas prices are hitting home for local school districts, but the real impact could be felt during the next school year. From Ardmore to Sherman, districts are paying more per gallon now than ever before, and many are cutting back to stay under budgets.
In most cases, the cutbacks are cosmetic, which means funds used to wash and wax the buses have now been moved into the fuel budget in Ardmore. But paying for 160,000 miles worth of gas a year could trigger more cutbacks later on. Administrators promise they won’t cut back on bus routes, but they could reduce out of town trips and extra activities.
Transportation directors say they are waiting to see what gas prices do after Memorial Day before making decisions about how to budget fuel for the next school year.

Second call for abstracts – we invite submissions from both practice and research. Deadline March 17 th to email@example.com
Conference: World in Denmark 2014 Copenhagen 12th -14th June 2014
“Super Danish”, “New Nordic”, and “Scandinavian welfare design” are among numerous seductive names that coin planning and architecture practices from the north these years. Landscape architects and urban designers from Denmark and the other Nordic countries have increasingly become exporters of design solutions to places like Beijing, New York and Christchurch, while Copenhagen repeatedly receives awards for its liveability. However, looking beyond the immediate branding effect, what themes and values, methods and challenges are current in Nordic urban space design and planning in these years?
The issue goes beyond Denmark and the Nordic countries. It concerns what it means to intervene in cities and landscapes in a global era. How do general ideas about improving cities migrate and mutate, synergize and conflict in the encounter with specific contexts? What are the potentials and losses of producing traditions – such as the Danish or Nordic – in open space design and planning?
Keynote speakers: Kongjian Yu Turenscape and GSD Harvard (CN). Jan Gehl (DK). Jenny Osuldsen Snøhetta (NO). Belinda Tato Ecosistema Urbano (ES). Moderator: Paola Viganò l’Università Iuav di Venezia (IT).
See call at www.windk.dk . After the conference there will be a call for full papers to be published in Nordisk Arkitekturforskning/Nordic Journal of Architectural Research.

• Name: Arctic
• Year: 2018
• Country: Iceland
• Director: Joe Penna
• Main cast: Mads Mikkelsen, Maria Thelma Smáradóttir
• Runtime: 97 minutes
• Production company: Armory Films, Pegasus Pictures, Union Entertainment Group (II)
Arctic (2018) could look at first sight as a minimal movie, but it is more mastodontic than one might think. Yes, pretty much the whole time is only actor Mads Mikkelsen on the screen, and his only acting partner Maria Thelma Smáradóttir stays pretty much the whole footage motionless and silent, near dead. But this is no experimental film, neither some sort of documentary. This is a quest for survival, plain and simple. No subplots, no good and evil, only nature and men. Aggressive nature, as the Icelandic Arctic snow deserts are, but here is where we as species, as evolved mammals, away of the commodities of the civility, must prove we are in the conditions of survival.
The movie starts and for a while we accompany the character played by Mads Mikkelsen on his daily routines. Survival instinct, routinary and almost mechanical tasks, in order to warranty his food supply and broadcast his SOS message, with a tiny hope that someone could hear his aid cry. We never got to see his airplane accident, we are set since the beginning to his improvised campsite inside of the crashed plane. But there is neither a need for that. The reasons for the crash are irrelevant for this story. But then it all changes when good old Mads witnesses a helicopter crash. Only one survivor, a young woman, but she is seriously injured and unconscious. She won’t move and if he leaves her there she will surely die within minutes. So he does what his humane instincts dictate, she brings her to his little compound and takes care of her. And from there, the only thing in the mind of the lonesome survivor is to manage to get back to the civilization, to search for aid. Because now he’s not alone anymore, in a bad situation but still able to manage. Now he is responsible for the life of another human being. And he has no time to waste.
This movie is one of this kind that can bring your faith back in mankind, in the goodness that might still reside in us human beings. Something that, with the everyday news and most of the entertainment industry, has been sometimes forgotten. The plot might remind to a movie that became an instant classic for its crude scenes and the moral debates it opened, Alive (1993). But don’t mistake yourself, Arctic (2018) is far from that. It is almost on the total opposite. No conflicts here but the need to survive. No one is conspiring against the other. For me, that is one of the best achievements of the movie. The way everything gets extremely simple, there is only one thing to achieve in the hour and half of the movie, and it is to survive.
I’m a junkie for good plots full of surprises, but I have no other chance than to surrender myself to the delicious simplicity of Arctic (2018). The movie doesn’t get boring. And the audience gets instantly attached to the two strands, since the very start. It seriously gets to get the best in all of us, but at the same time our fears for the wellness of the characters are stronger than in many other movies. The script is very well written, authored by the director Joe Penna and his frequent co-writer Ryan Morrison. The two of them are already in the pre-production process of their newest film, a science-fiction thriller called Stowaway (2020) that won’t see the light until 2 more years. But man, with Arctic (2018) they already won me, and I’m already marking their next movie as a must-see.
Beauty can exist in the aridest places. Beauty can reside in the simplest simplicity. It does. And with a so delicate production like Arctic (2018), masterfully starred by Mads Mikkelsen, a story written with a perfect sense of timing and storytelling, and a superb direction of a newby ex-Youtuber, the deepest of all beauties also become the fiercest of all dangers, with the cruelty of a tragic ending that is forseen as unavoidable since the very beginning. But, as an audiovisual spectacle, it was a delight to watch.

Most people are aware of the types of dental issues that can occur and the treatments available to help resolve them such as whitening for discolouration, orthodontics for misalignment or implants and bridges for missing teeth. However, dental occlusion is not something that a lot of people have heard of, let alone what it is, the affect it can have on a person and how it can be treated. Here is your complete guide to dental occlusion.
What Is Dental Occlusion?
Dental occlusion refers to the way that a person’s upper and lower teeth come together and make contact when the mouth is closed also known as their ‘bite’. The way that the teeth come together can vary depending on what the person is doing at that time, whether they are speaking, eating or sleeping.
What Is Malocclusion?
Misalignment of the teeth and jaws is known as a ‘malocclusion’ or bad bite which can cause a number of oral health complications. There are many different types of malocclusions such as;
- Open bite
- Impacted tooth
- Missing tooth
What Are The Symptoms Of Malocclusion?
When the teeth are not properly aligned, it can lead to a number of problems not just with the teeth but the gums, jaw, head, neck and eyes. Some of the symptoms that patients suffer from malocclusion can experience include;
- Discomfort when biting or chewing
- Crooked or misaligned teeth
- Jaw problems such as clicking, crunching or grinding
- Tenderness or aching in the teeth or gums
- Grinding which typically occurs at night when it might not be noticed
- Speech problems
- Change in facial structure
- Loose or missing teeth
- Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) results in headaches, shoulder and neck pain
What Are The Treatment Options For Malocclusion?
The best treatment path for patients with occlusal issues will depend on the type and complexity of their case and what will yield the best possible results for them. Some of the treatments frequently used to help those with malocclusion are;
Invisalign or traditional braces can be used to help correct the alignment of teeth. In some cases of overcrowding or similar, then certain teeth may need to be extracted prior to starting any straightening treatment.
This involves adjusting the biting surface of the teeth to improve their function, create a more solid bite and reduces trauma and stress on individual teeth, jaw joints and muscles.
In order to provide even support for the temporo-mandibular joint, bridges and partial dentures can be used to correct alignment and evenly distribute pressure and biteforce across the teeth.
There are some medications that can help to provide some short-term relief from symptoms like pain or discomfort, but following an effective treatment plan is the only option to resolve the issues permanently.
What To Do If You Suspect You Have Occlusal Issues?
The very first step for anyone who is suffering with problems related to their teeth, gums or mouth is to visit their dentist. Keep note of all your symptoms or concerns and discuss them with your dentist at your appointment. This information combined with an oral examination will help them to determine what is causing the issues and help put in place a treatment plan to get you on the path to a comfortable, correctly aligned bite.

Salmonella Combination Vaccines: Moving Beyond Typhoid.
MacLennan CA., Stanaway J., Grow S., Vannice K., Steele AD.
There is now a robust pipeline of licensed and World Health Organization (WHO)-prequalified typhoid conjugate vaccines with a steady progression of national introductions. However, typhoid fever is responsible for less than half the total global burden of Salmonella disease, and even less among children aged <5 years. Invasive nontyphoidal Salmonella disease is the dominant clinical presentation of Salmonella in Africa, and over a quarter of enteric fever in Asia is due to paratyphoid A. In this article, we explore the case for combination Salmonella vaccines, review the current pipeline of these vaccines, and discuss key considerations for their development, including geographies of use, age of administration, and pathways to licensure. While a trivalent typhoid/nontyphoidal Salmonella vaccine is attractive for Africa, and a bivalent enteric fever vaccine for Asia, a quadrivalent vaccine covering the 4 main disease-causing serovars of Salmonella enterica would provide a single vaccine option for global Salmonella coverage.

Cuarto Dinamo/Acoconetla Rock Climbing
The Fourth Dinamo area is home to some splitter (as well as some not-so-splitter) basalt cragging that would be classic 1-2 pitch stuff in yosemite valley.
It's mostly trad climbing, with some bolted routes and some bolted variations. Most anchors and rappels are fat bolted stations, and most things were set up to rap with a single rope. One small note: a number of the splitter cracks I played with here had wide sections, so it's worth lugging the big metal up the hill if you have it lying around.
Beta on the area, like most things in Mexico, is a little touch and go. You can often find lists of the routes on sites like xpmexico.com
, but there is little beta to help you match up the cliffs with the paper.
The beta here should give you a solid reference point (and a couple lines for the ticklist). Other climbers will be an excellent resource, and sometimes you may find names of routes inscribed below the line, etc. Within 30 yards of the two routes I added (hormigas, marlon brando) are a handful of other splitter 5.8-5.11 climbs, both short and multipitch, and im told there is more good stuff close by if you wander further.
From the park entrance road, continue driving up canyon past many pullouts, stops, etc. Eventually the road turns into a bad dirt road (easily passable with 2WD) and after just 30 seconds on this park in the unpaved lot on your right. There is currently a sign for the Quarto Dinamo here, and a warning not to go climbing without the necessary gear. Expect to pay 10-15 pesos to park.
From the parking lot, walk up the road for five minutes, past a creek, until the road takes a sharp turn left. Instead of following the road, go right here at the hairpin and find a well beaten approach trail that soon rises rapidly into the thick scrub. Initially, follow the best looking trail at any intersections. After a few minutes, the trail passes next to a large pine whose trunk splits into an obvious three-pronged trunk system above. Just after this landmark is a tricky trail split at a smaller tree. Follow the obvious trail directly up for a denser dustier experience, or get on the main trail that initially wasn't obvious to me: step back down at that smaller tree and appear to contour on trail until it also rises steeply to the crags. This trail pops out near the base of some good crack climbing. 10-20 minutes from the car.

Just this month, US President Donald Trump has made his assertion about how US and Russia were not getting along fine, unlike how the relationship between him and China’s President Xi Jinping is doing well.
This declaration is showing Trump’s campaign changes, primarily abandoning positions on NATO, Israel, the nuclear agreement with Iran and alliances in Asia.
Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholar’s vice president, Aaron Carter, said that this campaign trail takes in a realization on how American foreign policy works in a harsh reality and how the unorthodoxy of the administration is revealed in doing business but is coming to its conventional approach.
This relationship between Russia and China has political experts call on Trump to think again on his plan to clash both countries. Center for Eurasian, Russian, and East Europe studies’ director, Angela Stent, commented on this US foreign relations movement as pragmatic and that Trump did not understand fundamentally the nature of Russia and China’s relationship.
Albeit the controversies of Russia and China on US relations, the two countries share a lot in common when it comes to foreign relations. They are major players when it comes to problems in foreign policy, do not like domestic protests, and have similar views about the US in general.

A shifty gaze, fidgety stance or sweaty palms signal a liar in classic film noirs. In real life, however, it is surprisingly difficult to recognise when someone lies.
Even among trained professionals, the lie-detection accuracy rate is only slightly better than pure chance. And courts tend to reject polygraph evidence because the tests lack standardised questions for determining falsehoods. For better odds, discussions of questionable claims appear to be the way to go. Psychologists at the University of Chicago have found that groups of people are consistently more reliable at rooting out fabrications than chance or individual judges.
For the study, participants were shown videotaped statements, either by themselves or with other people present, and then asked to guess whether the speakers were telling the truth or white lies. After 36 rounds, researchers found that groups of evaluators scored just as well as individuals in determining truths but were up to 8.5 per cent more accurate in exposing lies. Groups of three or six were equally reliable at pinpointing falsehoods.
The slight edge arises as a result of insights that emerge from conversations, says Nadav Klein, one of the study’s authors. By talking out their observations with others, people gain new perspectives, improving their understanding.

Rouland Mouret is putting an ethical spin on one of his bestselling designs. Together with model and longtime friend Katherine Poulton, co-founder of The North Circular, Mouret has created a limited edition of his popular “Eugene” top in an arresting herringbone-and-plaid pattern. Like all of The North Circular’s garments, it’ll be hand-knitted by British grannies using locally sourced alpaca and Global Organic Textile-certified wool.
“Working with Roland is great as he always has a clear vision of how he wants the piece to be, especially when he drapes directly on to the body,” Poulton, who operates the label with fellow clotheshorse Lily Cole, told British Vogue. “The forms he makes are always so unexpected and brilliant, enhancing your figure in the most chic way. He was keen to push traditional handmade cable knit into a fashion-forward piece. This is the new sexy take on the classic Aran jumper.”
