The Jewish McLuhan
The Future of Art in a Digital Age: From Hellenistic to Hebraic Consciousness
By Mel Alexenberg
Intellect, 187 pages, $60.
As a wakeup call to “an indifferent world” and “Jews with their heads in the sand,” Mel Alexenberg designed a Holocaust memorial to honor the 6 million Jews in Israel “incinerated by an Iranian nuclear bomb that is Iran’s prelude to global conquest in the service of a mad ideology.”
Although the word “memorial,” according to the Oxford English Dictionary, derives from the Latin memoria (“memory”), Alexenberg has no qualms about memorializing events that have yet to occur. He certainly won’t be spitting three times, muttering “ken ayin hara” or throwing salt. “To hell with an evil eye,” he told the Forward in an e-mail. “It is evil to sit back and do nothing.”
Alexenberg’s project, titled “Future Holocaust Memorials,” has its own blog, http://futureholocaustmemorials.blogspot.com/, and is just one of several new-media Jewish art projects that Alexenberg has launched. He has tied prayer shawl strings to the four “corners” of America (Washington, San Diego, Maine and Florida), faxed “cyberangles” (based on Rembrandt’s work) across the globe, built an eruv (ritual border) around the city of Sodom and used a kabbalistic system that matches colors with Hebrew letters to map out the Bible in lights. These pieces and more are collected in Alexenberg’s new book, “The Future of Art in a Digital Age: From Hellenistic to Hebraic Consciousness.”
Alexenberg’s interest in digital art stems from his belief that art and science are “integrally one in the human psyche,” which “only need to be merged in postmodernism because they were artificially torn apart.” Alexenberg says that when he was a child, he used to conduct “scientific and artistic activities” with salamanders in the Catskills, “without a clue that they were considered different areas of human endeavor.” That childish playfulness and obliviousness to the boundaries of disciplines have apparently stuck with the artist, who refers to the Talmud’s “hypertext Internet-like design… that demands that it be studied in multiple ways unlike the one-way linear reading of other books.”
Alexenberg would seem to be an unlikely herald of Talmud-as-hypertext. The bearded artist, who wears a black hat and Hasidic garb in many of his promotional images, is the founding dean of the art school at Netanya Academic College in Israel. He was chairman of fine arts at the New York-based Pratt Institute, and a professor of art at Columbia University and at Bar-Ilan University. He also served as a research fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Advanced Visual Studies and as dean of visual arts at Miami’s New World School of the Arts before moving to Petah Tikvah, where he now lives.
His book’s premise centers on what Alexenberg calls a paradigm shift between Hellenistic and Hebraic consciousness. Alexenberg cites Norwegian theologian Thorleif Boman, whose book “Hebrew Thought Compared With Greek” (W.W. Norton & Company, 2002) defines Hellenism as a “static, peaceful, moderate, harmonious” art that spans from the Renaissance to modernism, whereas Hebraic thinking is “dynamic, vigorous, passionate, explosive,” or new-media art. A well-versed student of art history, Alexenberg rallies names no less significant than Frank Lloyd Wright and Frank Gehry to prove his point. He calls Wright “the son of a Unitarian minister,” who “internalized the biblical message of freeing humanity from enslavement in closed spaces and expressed his freedom in his architectural design.” Gehry, meanwhile, who was born Frank Goldberg, used to play with the carp swimming in his grandmothers’ bathtub. In Alexenberg’s conception, “The vigorous body motions of swimming fish seen from above gave Gehry his vocabulary for the dynamic shape of his museum,” the Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain.
If Jacques Derrida had not preceded him, Alexenberg would be the Jewish Marshall McLuhan. He talks about the “endless flow” of the spiral Torah scroll “in contrast with the same content trapped between the covers in a codex book form.” He sees the Internet as a tool for translation and simultaneous unification and diversity that reverses the transgression of the Tower of Babel. Like McLuhan, Alexenberg is vulnerable to criticism for the breadth of his seemingly all-inclusive message that could prove either brilliance or utter nonsense.
But Alexenberg stresses that he is not a philosophy professor who never realizes his theories in the real world: “As an artist, I am always seeking new ways to realize theory/concept in space and time.” He even tries to use his art in areas where politics is failing. His exhibit Cyberangels: Aesthetic Peace Plan for the Middle East, which was shown in Prague, proposes an aesthetic solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict by highlighting an aspect of Islamic art that incorporates both geometric patterns and disrupting counter-patterns to show that “human creation is less than perfect.” Israel, then, can represent that counter-pattern of iconoclasm that leads the Islamic world to recognize “that they need Israel to realize their Islamic religious values.”
In this project, Alexenberg is most like McLuhan, who told Playboy in 1969 that the artist, and not the scientist, should be called upon to perceive and foresee new trends, because “inherent in the artist’s creative inspiration is the process of subliminally sniffing out environmental change.” Perhaps he will not have the opportunity to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict, and hopefully he will not be called upon to truly memorialize Israel, but Alexenberg’s art and scholarship represent some of the most innovative work being made in both the Jewish and non-Jewish art world.

High-power pulsewidth-modulated inverters for medium-voltage applications operate at switching frequencies below 1 kHz to keep the dynamic losses of the power devices at a permitted level. Also, the sampling rate of the digital signal processing system is then low, which introduces considerable signal delays. These have adverse effects on the dynamics of the current control system and introduce undesired cross coupling between the current components id and iq. To overcome this problem, complex state variables are used to derive more accurate models of the machine and the inverter. From these, a novel current controller structure employing single-complex zeros is synthesized. Experimental results demonstrate that high dynamic performance and zero cross coupling is achieved even at very low switching frequency.

Once upon a time, a historical romance author created a family . . . But not just any family. Eight brothers and sisters, assorted in-laws, sons and daughters, nieces and nephews (not to mention an overweight corgi) plus an irrepressible matriarch who's a match for any of them . . .

Does "The End" really have to be the end? Now, with The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After, Julia Quinn delivers eight sexy, funny, and heartwarming "2nd Epilogues" plus a bonus story about none other than the wise and witty matriarch Violet Bridgerton herself.

200th ANNIVERSARY EDITION Mansfield Park is named for the magnificent, idyllic estate that is home to the wealthy Bertram family and that serves as a powerful symbol of English tradition and stability. The novel's heroine, Fanny Price--a "poor relation" living with the Bertrams--is acutely conscious of her inferior status and yet she dares to love their son Edmund--from afar. With five marriageable young people on the premises, the peace at Mansfield cannot last. Courtships, entertainments, and intrigues throw the place into turmoil, and Fanny finds herself unwillingly competing with a dazzlingly witty and lovely rival. As Margaret Drabble points out in her incisive Introduction, the house becomes "full of the energies of discord--sibling rivalry, greed, ambition, illicit sexual passion, and vanity," and the novel grows ever more engrossing right up to Mansfield's final scandal and the satisfying conclusion. Unique in its moral design and its brilliant interplay of the forces of tradition and change, Mansfield Park was the first novel of Jane Austen's maturity, and the first in which the author turned her unerring eye on the concerns of English society at a time of great upheaval. With an Introduction by Margaret Drabble and an Afterword by Julia Quinn
It takes a minx to tempt a rogue...Beautiful and feisty Henrietta Barrett has never followed the dictates of society. She manages her elderly guardian's estate, prefers to wear breeches rather than dresses, and answers to the unlikely name of Henry. But when her guardian passes away, her beloved home falls into the hands of a distant cousin. And it takes a rogue to tame her...William Dunford, London's most elusive bachelor, is stunned to learn that he's inherited property, a title...and a ward bent on making his first visit his last. Henry is determined to continue running the Cornwall estate without help from the handsome new lord, but Dunford is just as sure he can change things...starting with his wild young ward. But turning Henry into a lady makes her not only the darling of the town, but an irresistible attraction to the man who thought he could never be tempted.
Amelia Willoughby has been engaged to the Duke of Wyndham for as long as she can remember. Literally. A mere six months old when the contracts were signed, she has spent the rest of her life waiting. And waiting. And waiting . . . for Thomas Cavendish, the oh-so-lofty duke, to finally get around to marrying her. But as she watches him from afar, she has a sneaking suspicion that he never thinks about her at all . . .It's true. He doesn't. Thomas rather likes having a fiancée--all the better to keep the husband-hunters at bay--and he does intend to marry her . . . eventually. But just when he begins to realize that his bride might be something more than convenient, Thomas's world is rocked by the arrival of his long-lost cousin, who may or may not be the true Duke of Wyndham. And if Thomas is not the duke, then he's not engaged to Amelia. Which is the cruelest joke of all, because this arrogant and illustrious duke has made the mistake of falling in love . . . with his own fiancée!
Anne Wynter might not be who she says she is . . . But she's managing quite well as a governess to three highborn young ladies. Her job can be a challenge-in a single week she finds herself hiding in a closet full of tubas, playing an evil queen in a play that might be a tragedy (or might be a comedy-no one is sure), and tending to the wounds of the oh-so-dashing Earl of Winstead. After years of dodging unwanted advances, he's the first man who has truly tempted her, and it's getting harder and harder to remind herself that a governess has no business flirting with a nobleman. Daniel Smythe-Smith Might be in mortal danger . . . But that's not going to stop the young earl from falling in love. And when he spies a mysterious woman at his family's annual musicale, he vows to pursue her, even if that means spending his days with a ten-year-old who thinks she's a unicorn. But Daniel has an enemy, one who has vowed to see him dead. And when Anne is thrown into peril, he will stop at nothing to ensure their happy ending . . .

But her best friend, the ever-practical Lady Lucinda Abernathy, wants to save Hermione from a disastrous alliance, so she offers to help Gregory win her over. But in the process, Lucy falls in love.

And now, on the way to the wedding, Gregory must risk everything to ensure that when it comes time to kiss the bride, he is the only man standing at the altar...
We can't really say more without giving away a big, fat spoiler, but it turns out that Colin is a bit of a meddler, Hyacinth is more of a meddler, and the only time all of the Bridgertons stop talking at once is when Penelope has something really embarrassing to say. Hey, we never said it was easy to marry a Bridgerton, just that it was fun.
Penelope Featherington has secretly adored her best friend's brother for . . . well, it feels like forever. After half a lifetime of watching Colin Bridgerton from afar, she thinks she knows everything about him, until she stumbles across his deepest secret . . . and fears she doesn't know him at all.Colin Bridgerton is tired of being thought nothing but an empty-headed charmer, tired of everyone's preoccupation with the notorious gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, who can't seem to publish an edition without mentioning him in the first paragraph. But when Colin returns to London from a trop aboard he discovers notyhing in his life is quite the same--especially Penelope Featherington! The girl haunting his dreams. But when he discovers that Penelope has secrets of her own, this elusive bachelor must decide . . . is she his biggest threat--or his promise of a happy ending?

The V.C. Andrews fans coined because of the nickname of "Dresden Dolls" for the Dollanganger children (first featured in Flowers In The Attic) in their family saga, Cathy referring to Chris as Christopher Doll and the overall atmosphere of porcelain dolls and how they, like the V.C. Andrews novels, are eerie and innocent, sweet and fragile and somewhat downright creepy.
Dolls usually don't like the ghostwriter but read the newer books anyways, just because it's under the name of V.C. Andrews.

TOKYO (majirox news) — It’s no secret that Japan’s population is falling because of a lack of births, a point reinforced Sept. 1 when the Ministry of Health and Welfare released its usual statistics on births and deaths.
But no one seems to grasp how massive this impact is on Japan.
This year, Japan’s population decreased due to natural causes was nearly eight times greater than the more than 20,000 killed or missing due to the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami. It’s like the entire city of Oyama in Tochigi prefecture suddenly vanished off the face of the earth.
Deaths outpaced births by 125,708 according to the Ministry. This is an increase of 50,000 deaths over births compared to last year. Oyama in Tochigi prefecture has a population of around 140,000.
Deaths outpacing births at this rate is the equivalent to Japan losing the entire city of Oyama.
As Japan’s population rapidly ages, the number of people dying continues to grow rapidly. Soon, Japan will be losing a population every year equivalent to the entire city of Takasaki, the prefectural capital of Gunma.
There is no question that in the coming 10 to 20 years, population loss will be the most powerful economic, social and political force shaping Japanese society.

Readers may have seen some alarming news articles on various media citing Zanu PF’s Acting Spokesman Patrick Chinamasa that Old Mutual Limited “will be ejected from the financial system”. The news flow demonstrates that Zimbabwe still has real issues to solve given that it has attracted confusion since the statement lacks clarity on what an ejection from a financial system really means. Meanwhile, Old Mutual has issued a statement indicating to its stakeholders that it is working to seek clarity over the reports. There has indeed been a wave of negative news flow coming out of Zimbabwe including the suspension of mobile money platforms and trading on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE). Piggy is concerned about the “headline effect” and economic costs that come with negative news. Headline effect refers to the impact that negative news in the press has on a corporation or economy. The media and newspaper articles, whether it is online or not, have always seem to have an influence on the way investors make decisions. It appears that Old Mutual is being accused of fuelling the rise in the black-market foreign exchange rates due to the Old Mutual Implied Rate (OMIR). Something that Piggy has pointed out as illogical given that implied rates can be calculated on almost any standard item of good that is priced across different markets.
An investor’s reaction to a headline can be very dramatic and out of proportion when compared with the reaction to good news in the headlines. While this market reaction is, to some extent, natural and expected, the headline effect can speed up and worsen the severity of the market reaction by bringing bad news to the forefront of the investor’s mind. Headline effects can also make a stock price wobble even if the news in those headlines does not hold water. For example, one of the most frequently debated aspects of Donald Trump’s successful run to the White House, and subsequent administration, has been his personal Twitter use. Trump has been a user since 2009, amassing more than 20 million followers and issuing more than 30,000 tweets. The impact of President Trump’s tweets on the entire US equities market is an ongoing topic of discussion throughout the financial community and no company is safe from the short-term pricing volatility created by a Trump tweet. The fact is that statements issued by Trump via Twitter can impact valuations.
In the case of Zimbabwe, the negative economic and political news headlines have not helped in terms of improving investor sentiment and positioning the country as a stable investment destination. The US Africa Business Center has introduced the Investor Confidence Indicator for Africa (ICIFA) which is a holistic tool for measuring and assessing the performance of African nations in setting the conditions for civic well-being and investor confidence. Zimbabwe has a score of 39.53/100 and ranks poorly when compared to Southern African counterparts like Botswana (64.87), South Africa (62.05), Namibia (60.35), Zambia (51.12), Malawi (48.37) and Mozambique (44.44).
Zimbabwe Investor Confidence Indicator Rankings (Score 39.53/100)
The ICIFA assigns an overall score to each nation based on their performance in 12 international evaluations on essentialities for promoting security, development, and good governance rooted in the rule of law – the cornerstones of a strong society and vibrant business environment. Based on that aggregate score, the indicator assigns colour codes reflecting each country’s position relative to one another – dark green reflects those countries that place in the top quartile of overall performers in Africa; light green those in the second quartile; yellow those in the third quartile; and red those in the fourth quartile.
A look at the economic history shows that investors in Zimbabwe have been exposed to various forms of negative economic and political shockwaves. In addition, some announcements made hold many tones that are difficult for the investors to comprehend fully. Of course, political decisions have also contributed to the instability. For example, the country’s entry into the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) war in August 1998, the invasion of white-owned farms and the chaotic fast-track land reform of 2000, the uncontrolled monetary expansion driven by quasi-fiscal activities and indigenisation policies triggered a significant loss of investor confidence. Zimbabwe will have to work hard to restore investor confidence and compete for global capital. That said, effective communication and proper public relations practices within government should be adopted as a way of managing the economic costs of negative news headlines. All in all, Piggy remains bullish on Old Mutual Zimbabwe Limited (OMZIL). The financial services group remains committed to preserving shareholder value by taking advantage of its powerful balance sheet and investing in strategic assets. As shown in the FY2019 results, total assets increased 250% y-o-y to ZWL 15.4bn. Management successfully defended the balance sheet by building a ZWL10.5bn securities and property portfolio (68.6% of FY2019 Total Assets) which offers an ongoing hedge against inflation.

Newport Creek Nature Area is a small one-acre wooded nature area in the far northwest of Ann Arbor, just west of Newport Road and north of M-14. View the
Ann Arbor Parks & Nature Areas Map for location context. Occasionally, visitors may encounter a city park with no trails – as is the case at Newport Creek Nature Area. These natural areas represent a unique recreation and conservation feature of the city’s park system. In these relatively few spaces across the city, off-trail exploration is encouraged – a rare opportunity to meander through a wild space in our urban context. Visitors are also invited to reflect on the conservation value and biodiversity of these spaces, where the Parks & Recreation’s Natural Area Preservation staff work to steward, restore and inventory the natural communities throughout the city’s parks.
Newport Creek Nature Area contains a variety of small animals, birds and flowers. It is undergoing restoration efforts by the staff and volunteers of the Natural Area Preservation Program to remove non-native invasive plants. Not far from Newport Creek are Skyline High School,

Chances of cloning a prehistoric woolly mammoth have been boosted after Russian scientists found liquid blood inside a 10,000-15,000 year-old female carcass.
It may sound like a scene straight out of Jurassic Park, but scientists believe the discovery on an island off Siberia provides a "really good chance" of bringing the mammoth back to life.
Semyon Grigoryev, the head of the expedition said of the find: "When we broke the ice beneath her stomach, the blood flowed out from there, it was very dark".
“This is the most astonishing case in my entire life. How was it possible for it to remain in liquid form? And the muscle tissue is also red, the colour of fresh meat,” he added.
According to The Times, a deal has been signed to give South Korean scientists exclusive rights to clone the mammoth.
Hwang Woo Suk, a stem cell scientist who created the world’s first cloned dog in 2005, said that once the tissues had been treated to a nuclear transfer process eggs would implanted into the womb of a live elephant for a 22-month pregnancy, the newspaper said.

An anon employee from Beijing record company let the cat out of the bag this week revealing to local press and AFP that the authorities in Beijing have banned the robotniks for agreeing to play a Tibetan benefit festival in Washington DC in 1998! What’s even more incredible is that Kraftwerk didn’t even play because of very inclement weather.
Here’s a great piece by Pete DeMola for Beijing Cream on the subject.
John Lydon Is Controversial, Kraftwerk Is Not; So Why Ban The Latter? On China’s Whimsical Censorship Of Musical Acts
By Pete DeMola
Ah, music festival season in China. With the balmy climes and fluffy white cottonwood pollen comes the annual rumor mill about which bold-faced recording artists are slated to perform at the summertime’s numerous annual kickoff events, which have been denied performance permits, and general conspiratorial grumblings about why this is and who’s to blame.
The controversy has already begun. Kraftwerk, an influential electronic music outfit, was denied permission to play at the Modern Sky Strawberry Music Festival in Beijing later this month, AFP reported last Friday. Meanwhile, another groundbreaking experimental act, PiL, the boundary-pushing brainchild of Sex Pistols co-founder and all-around gadfly John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten), was allowed to perform in Beijing and Shanghai this past weekend, despite Lydon characteristically crabbing to NME that he had to submit the entirety of his eyebrow-raising lyrical oeuvre to the Ministry of Culture… Read whole article here: http://beijingcream.com/2013/04/pil-kraftwerk-and-chinas-whimsical-censorship-of-musical-acts/

PIR 11 06 20
At about minute 10:00 From the verified Associated Press PRIVATE news feed only seen by networks. Not a single news network reported on it: From November 4th.
Article: The DHS announces election audit sting. After a contentious US election sparks confusion and outrage from election skeptics. In a stunning turm of events, the Department of Homeland Security has announced that there was a Federal Government sting planned and executed for this election.
It was established that this was intentional to determine the margin of fraud in the election system. With confusion in the election results as it is, the amount of fraud found in this sting is staggering.
More than 14 million ballots have been reviewed nationwide for the DHS new Election Countermeasure as of 7:18 om est (on election night) and 80% of the ballots failed the integrity check under this measure.
The highest frequency of those “non-marked “ ballots is coming from Arizona and Michigan where over 48% of the counted ballots did not contain this watermark. These votes are overwhelmingly supported by the Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
This election countermeasure was not endorsed or briefed with the President or candidate Biden
This was a background audit that has been planned since May 2018. In this scenario it is too soon to tell what this audit will do. . End of article.
PIR: This article verifies that there was sting operation. So do not be dismayed. Much information is coming out from many places that there is rampant voter fraud….all is not lost. The truth will come out.

“Was wäre, wenn ich Dir sage, dass Du alles getan hast, was Du konntest, aber dann kam jemand und hat Dich sabotiert. Er missbrauchte Dein Vertrauen, zapfte Dein Gehirn an […], während Du gar nicht gemerkt hast, was passiert!“ (Aus: Was Frauen wollen, 2000). (What if I told you that you did everything you could, but then someone came and sabotaged you. He abused your trust, tapped into your brain […] while you didn’t even realise what was happening!)
The discourse-video-walk Pretty Woman / That’s not my name, which moves at the interface between feminist discourse, site-specific performance, film and activism, deals with the narrative modes and power mechanisms in Hollywood films. We will also regard the phenomenon of gaslighting in relation, i.e. the psychological violence with which people are deliberately disoriented, manipulated, and their perception of reality unsettled, in relation to these movies. The (almost entirely) male-dominated narrative within gaslighting and the one-sided representation of women* will be addressed in the discourse-video-walk and placed in a different context. For this new context, we invite theorists, artists, psychologists and journalists to clarify their perspectives in the form of a video contribution. With the various discursive interventions of the experts, the perspective of the women* will oppose the male-dominated Hollywood narrative with a feminist position. During a nocturnal walk in public space, these counter-narratives become visible and audible within the framework of the discourse-video-walk. Places and initiatives in Bornheim that hold a connection with sexualised violence against women* and feminist empowerment will be visited throughout this walk. With a collective walk between flâneuserie and demonstration, we (re-)appropriate the public space at night as a group – without gaslight – but in the light of films and voices that make the perspectives of women* visible.
—> More informations about the event and the entire festival programme via Nocturnal Unrest
Following the current corona protection measure, the discourse-audio-walk can be walked either individually or with one’s household and/or one additional person.
The walk takes you through Bornheim, Frankfurt am Main. You can walk alone, in pairs or with your household (subject to the Corona regulations in force at the time). You will need a tablet for the walk, which you can get for a deposit (photo ID) at the first station for the walk. When you sign up, you will be given the opportunity to be assigned to a time slot between Saturday, 22.5. and Monday, 24.5. where you will receive the tablet.

Anne Mahlow and Nana Melling share a long-standing, close collaboration and research in the thematic fields of performance and the moving image, narrative modes and power mechanisms of the film industry, as well as an engagement with feminist discourses. They met in 2012 while studying applied theatre studies in Gießen and realized various research and performance projects together, such as Bildstörung / Interference (ARENA Festival 2016).

In 2017, together with Florentine Seuffert, she founded the collective dunkel.bunt, in which they have since been working primarily with experimental explanatory formats. Their works oscillate at the interface of film, cultural education and performance, whereby the theme of crossing borders represents a central starting point in both form and content. She has worked as an assistant director for Hans-Werner Krösinger at the HAU in Berlin, among others. She also directed the radio play Geschichte wie ich einmal versucht habe… for the Bayerischer Rundfunk. In addition to her artistic work, she has trained as a Wendo trainer according to the BVfest quality standards.

Input: I work with AI-generated art often and encounter several challenges such as unpredictable and sometimes unexpected results from AI algorithms, which make it challenging to connect with the audience on a deep level. Achieving the right balance between human creativity and AI assistance is tricky. Striking a balance between creating unique pieces and reproducing AI-generated art is complex. That's why I use Photoshop, Canva, and other mobile phone applications to fix mistakes. For example, I remove unwanted objects and watermarks, and I add elements and combine images using Canva.
Despite these challenges, AI offers new avenues for experimentation, collaboration, and creativity, allowing me to explore innovative ways of creating art. Artists need to learn and understand the technical aspects of AI and machine learning, which can be intimidating if they are not familiar with these fields.

UFC Belem headliner Eryk Anders came in heavy on his first attempt to make 185lbs this morning. The former standout collegiate football player weighed 187.9lbs, endangering his scheduled middleweight bout with Brazilian icon Lyoto Machida.
Thanks to a decision from the Brazilian athletic commission (CABMMA), however, Anders was granted an extra hour to shed the 1.9lbs needed to bring his weight within acceptable boundaries for the fight.
According to MMA Fighting, the extra time was signed off on by Machida’s team, partly because issues around hot water supply at the fighter hotel had seemingly caused problems with a number of other fighters’ weight-cuts.
Both Pedro Munhoz and Michel Prazeres missed weight. Neither was given extra time to lose weight and both will be fined 20 percent of their show money and/or win money (if their fights go ahead). At this time, it appears Prazeres vs. Green will happen, whereas Munhoz vs. Dodson is still being discussed.
This is the third time Prazeres has missed weight in four UFC bouts. Guilherme Cruz of MMAFighting reports that CABMMA will force Prazeres to move up in weight class in order to be licensed to fight again in Brazil. Munhoz will be monitored and tested by CABMMA to determine whether he will also be forced to move divisions.
According to CABMMA Green and Dodson will receive the entirety of the fines levied against Prazeres and Munhoz.
You can watch the early weigh-ins below, courtesy of MMA Fighting:
UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Anders takes place on Saturday night. The main card is on FS1, beginning at 10pm ET.

You might not think that there would be much overlap between Lamborghini lovers and SUV drivers.
After all, the flashy sports cars are usually driven by stars and musicians, while rugged off-road vehicles are more the preserve of farmers and outdoorsmen – or, in recent years, suburban soccer moms.
But the two worlds are about to collide, as the luxury Italian firm launches its own four-by-four, for the lumberjack who wants to look smart as he traverses the forest.
The Lamborghini Urus was unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show this week, and it could be coming to a road – or dirt track – near you before too long. Although Lamborghini has not yet revealed the price, it is expected to hit the market in 2015.
It arguably looks more like a sports car than like the average SUV, with its aerodynamic shape, sleek design and glossy finish. This “crossover” has huge 24-inch wheels and a 600 horsepower engine. Like most of Lamborghini’s cars, the Urus has full-time all-wheel-drive with a focus on on-road performance.
And its more hi-tech features are a world away from the rural origins of the the SUV, as it is equipped with all sorts of clever gadgetry.
The Urus – named after an extinct ancestor of the cow – is packed with carbon fibre, which is exceptionally strong relative to its weight.
And the car even changes its own shape, with a front spoiler which adjusts its position depending on whether the driver is off-road or speeding down the freeway.
Surprisingly, this is not the first time Lamborghini has tried to launch an SUV.
The company is determined that the Urus will be different, and is planning to turn out as many as 3,000 per year.
That would make the SUV Lamborghini’s most popular model – but it remains to be seen whether the firm is ready to shift from boy racers to rednecks.

Former Walnut Grove City Clerk Pleads Guilty to Embezzling City Funds
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Tom Larson, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that the former city clerk of Walnut Grove, Mo., pleaded guilty in federal court today to a credit card fraud scheme in which she embezzled city funds.
Cari Gillmore, 45, of Springfield, waived her right to a grand jury and pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge David P. Rush to a federal information that charges her with credit card fraud.
By pleading guilty today, Gillmore admitted that she conducted financial transactions for personal expenses with credit cards that were issued to the city of Walnut Grove. Those purchases were made without the permission of city officials and were unrelated to the business or affairs of the city of Walnut Grove. Fraudulent credit card transactions conducted by Gillmore between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2015, totaled $27,308. From January 2014 and June 13, 2016, Gillmore engaged in additional relevant conduct for a total loss amount of $67,598.
Under federal statutes, Gillmore is subject to a sentence of up to 15 years in federal prison without parole. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes, as the sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Carney. It was investigated by the FBI and the Greene County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department.

Arizona Cardinals RB Ryan Williams inactive entire season
Of course the Cardinals' third-year running back didn't see a single gameday snap during the 2013 campaign.
On Sunday, Williams was once again among the listed inactives, becoming the lone Cardinals player to not suit up for at least one game.
The other inactives for the season finale against the San Francisco 49ers Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium: Quarterback Ryan Lindley, safety Curtis Taylor, linebacker Dontay Moch, offensive lineman Nate Potter, tight end Kory Sperry and defensive end Ronald Talley.
The Cardinals did have three players listed as questionable -- linebacker John Abraham (groin), guard Daryn Colledge (back) and safety Rashad Johnson (ankle) -- but all three will play.
Johnson is apparently healthy enough after sitting out last week at Seattle.
Williams did not play his first year because of a torn patella tendon suffered in the preseason. Then a shoulder injury in his second year limited him to five games.
Williams, it should be noted, is under contract for next season.
The Cardinals and 49ers will play with the roof open and in front of the 83rd straight sellout, meaning every game -- preseason and postseason included -- has been sold out since the stadium opened in August of 2006.

Season 2 opens with two new hosts, James “Jay Cee” Carpio and Spence.
The crew interviews Jeff Talanian about his game Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea. It’s an awesome OSR game that hearkens back to Robert E. Howard’s pulp-fiction tales. James talks mechanics and Spence is our adventurer.
However, stay tuned because as the season progresses we find it’s more fun for both of our hosts to participate and they even invite the shows producer, Peter Bryant, to join in from time to time.
Also, check out the review by blogger Ernie Laurence Multiverse Review.

Gravesites of veterans in shocking disrepair
The final resting places for many of the men and women who fought America’s wars have fallen into shocking disrepair, with neglect, theft and vandalism prompting veterans groups to question the nation's commitment to honoring its dead soldiers.
Advocates say smaller federal, state, county and private cemeteries that contain the graves of service members are often poorly kept, marked by crumbling headstones, overgrown with weeds and littered with debris. Perhaps even worse, many veterans' gravesites have been targets of vandalism and theft.
“It’s a pattern that you’re seeing across the country right now," said Tim Tetz, national legislative director for the American Legion. "You have cemeteries being expanded or added to with less or the same number of people caring for the grounds.”...

Chicago Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw became a hero in the Windy City – and probably in the hearts of many spouses who weren’t thrilled about a marathon Game 1 – but things could have been very different on Wednesday.
The Boston Bruins are likely kicking themselves for some missed opportunities in the opening contest of the 2013 Stanley Cup Final. One player who might just feel the worst about the situation is Kaspars Daugavins, whose place in the starting lineup is far from guaranteed:
The 25-year-old lamented the missed opportunity to Sportsnet’s Ian Mendes.
“I had him beat, but while I was shooting I got tripped and my hands got tied up,” Daugavins said.
Shaw chalked his goal up to luck. Apparently Daugavins experienced the other side of the coin.

In early 1917, the United States entered the world war and immediately, the nation found itself tasked with building up its resources to throw against Germany and its allies. Calls for enlistment were answered by patriotic Americans and a national draft swelled the Army's ranks almost overnight. To train these new recruits, cantonments would need to be constructed throughout the country. Thirty-two massive military establishments were planned and swiftly contstructed in only a matter of months. One of those cantonments were awarded to Ohio and its construction in 1917 brought about a monumental change to the rural South Central Ohio landscape and to the population too. Here we present some of the stories of Ohio's cantonment, Camp Sherman.

Just Jewelry Review: Is It A Good Work at Home Job?
This review is all about the Just Jewelry. Do you want to know if this MLM company is legit or just a scam? Are you curious if you can really earn from this business opportunity? Well, I suggest that you read this review in order to learn more about it.
Company Name: Just Jewelry
Price to Join: $99 – $399
My Rating: 6.9 out of 10.0
What is the Just Jewelry?
Just Jewelry is a multi-level marketing company that is known for selling jewelry. By the way, it was founded in the year 2002 and offered a lot of products in other categories as well.
The jewelry is offered in the categories of necklaces, bracelets, watches, earrings, rings, and charms. They also offer tops, dresses, bags, outwear, and eyewear. Most of the products are priced at below $50 so they are quite affordable. The founders of this company are Virginia Depp and Nicole Nelson.
In this review, I will take a closer look at this company and try to determine whether this is a scam or not. This is based on my honest research about it. I recommend that you read the entire review before thinking about joining this company.
How Does Just Jewelry Work?
Like any other MLM companies, they offer various ways on how you can start earning some money so here are the ways of earning money through the compensation plan of Just Jewelry.
You will get a 30% discount on jewelry and a 10% discount on boutique items when you join the company. When you purchase $300 in jewelry or boutique items, then you will start receiving a 50% discount on jewelry and a 30% discount on boutique items.
So your aim is to purchase $300 worth of jewelry or boutique items as soon as you join to earn the maximum commissions.
The discount on boutique items is not very high, but that is necessary to maintain the quality of the items. However, the 50% discount on jewelry is amazing and it will allow you to earn a lot of money from retail sales.
I don’t like the fact they require you to buy more products to get a higher discount while other companies give a higher discount based on your monthly sales or rank.
More Information About Just Jewelry
It is common for multi-level marketing companies to pay commissions or bonuses based on your downline. As long as your downline remains active, you will earn commissions on their jewelry orders.
This company pays team commissions in the range of 4% to 10% depending on your leadership level. You need to meet many qualifications to earn team commissions like your monthly leadership requirements.
When you reach the Senior Team Leader or higher rank, then the company will start paying you an additional monthly bonus for as long as you meet the requirements. It is not clear if the higher ranks pay a higher amount of leadership bonus, but I think that it might be the case.
The requirements are not that hard to meet as they are related to hosting team meetings, training and incentivizing your team members. You will also have to contact your upline leader each month.
There are other ways of earning money through the compensation plan such as car bonuses. I don’t think that it will be hard to remain a qualifying consultant and receive a discount of 50% on your jewelry purchases. You will only need to purchase $399 in wholesale jewelry within a rolling 12 month period to stay qualified.
The requirements will obviously get more complicated as you try to advance in the ranks and earn through additional ways.
How Much Does It Cost to Join?
If you decide to join in Just Jewelry, there are two kits that you can choose from depending on your budget as well as your requirements.
The first kit is called the Basic Kit and it costs $99. The second kit is called the Advanced Kit and it costs $399. The advantage of the Advanced Kit is that it will allows you to earn 50% profit on jewelry and 30% profit on boutique from your first day.
So if you are serious about this business, then Advanced Kit is what you should choose.
How Much Can I Earn?
This company does not stand out from a lot of other companies that sell jewelry. It does have a lot of other products that you can sell, but it will still be hard to earn money from selling them.
The fact remains that the company is in a very competitive niche. You will have to compete with consultants from a lot of other jewelry companies as well as your own company.
The opportunity may look like a great one and people might think that they will quickly advance in the ranks and earn the income of their dreams. In reality, it is very hard to build a team and advance in the ranks.
Even if you somehow climb the ranks, there is no guarantee that you will stay on the top. So I don’t think that your chances of success are great and they are around 5% at best.
Are the Any Complaints?
Yes, and I have listed some of the major complaints below.
There is no guarantee of the same income each month.
You need to have good people skills and reach out for building customer bases.
I don’t think that Just Jewelry is a scam. They still offer some helpful information on how you can have a new source of income.
On the other hand, I must say that they still have rooms for improvement. It would have been better if they will be more transparent and update their compensation plan on their website. Nevertheless, I still leave the final decision in your hands. Good luck and choose wisely.
- Plenty of Product Choices
- Teaches Entrepreneurial skills
- Competitive Niche
- Climb the ranks to earn more commissions
How Do I Personally Earn Money Online?
I know you want to join in Just Jewelry because you want to build your own business at home. I also feel that you are already tired of not earning that much from your current job.
But let me tell you that this type of business is not going to be easy. It requires patience, perseverance and hard work in order to succeed. Plus you should also have the passion towards selling and recruiting.
On the other hand, if you are still looking for a new source of income, then you can also take a look into my personal favorite choice. My best suggestion would be through making your own online business with a support from community. Basically it is a modern way of making money. What I like about it is that it doesn’t require any selling or recruiting.
Right now, I am on my second year in this type of business and I am already enjoying the fruits of my labor. So, I want to share my success with you.
If you have more questions and concerns about the Just Jewelry, feel free to comment it below and I would be glad to interact with you.
Please let me hear your experiences and personal concerns on the comments below!
