1. No surprises against UT-Martin on Saturday; no surprises at Media Day on Tuesday.
The Week 2 depth chart was released on Tuesday and there were no changes. The biggest news? Probably that the three players who missed substantial time during the season opener (Kevin Pendleton, Khalil Oliver and Rashad Brandon) will all be back for Wyoming, under the lights on Saturday.
The most important on-going storylines are what we didn’t see on Saturday (Not much of the playbook on offense, says the Kansas City Star) and which freshmen we did see on Saturday (Probably the most true freshmen in one game that Barry Odom can recall, says Dave Matter of the St. Louis Post Dispatch).
For all the talk about Kam Scott and Jalen Knox and Tyler Badie, Odom singled out a player we hadn’t heard much about prior to Saturday — freshman corner Jarvis Ware.
From Matter’s notebook:
“He’s going to help us in a lot of different roles because of his length and speed and confidence and football IQ and understanding of what we’re asking him to do.”
2. And what about those Cowboys from Wyoming?
Even considering the opponents it’s played, Wyoming’s rush defense has been stout — 66 TOTAL rushing yards on 37 carries. And, even though the Cowboys have forced just one turnover through two games, Barry Odom slapped the “aggressive” tag on them.
“They’re an aggressive team, they’re assignment sound, they tackle really well,” Odom said. “They’re aggressive in their coverages, but also understand where they need to be every snap. You don’t see a lot of guys running uncovered, you don’t see missed assignments.”
Maybe Missouri will have to bring out Washington State’s “Big Gulp” formation this weekend?
Down 19-13 in the 3rd to Wyoming, Mike Leach calls the same bizarre formation two consecutive plays, eventually scores 28 unanswered to win 41-19 & afterwards talks about preparing his team with seasonal forest fires https://t.co/FmSm3D9nli pic.twitter.com/E0ULy3ozfF— Busted Coverage (@bustedcoverage) September 2, 2018
Also, a reminder that the forecast for Saturday is rain — and a lot of that. Odom has his players preparing for some less-than-ideal elements.
Here’s another wrap-up of media day, this one from Daniel Jones of the Columbia Daily Tribune with a nice look at Jordan Elliott’s return to the football field.
3. EJ Liddell not the only top target on campus this weekend
At least not according to this tweet:
That’s gotta be good, right?
Yesterday at Rock M
- Snap Counts from Missouri’s win over UT-Martin: Tight ends, tight ends and more tight ends.
- Drew Lock isn’t surprised Emanuel Hall had a MONSTER game in Week 1
- We wrapped up Missouri’s Week 1 win in the latest episode of the Zoukeepers podcast.
- Drew Lock’s on the record hunt. Here’s where he stands.
- Oh, man, this isn’t even the dreaded “Vote of Confidence” for Kansas coach David Beaty.
KU AD Jeff Long released this comment today re: football ... "We all expected a different outcome Saturday but I continue to support our student-athletes and coaches and ask all Jayhawks to do the same. Our evaluation of the program is on-going without a predetermined timeline."— Jesse Newell (@jessenewell) September 4, 2018
- Polls are out. Missouri ain’t in ‘em. Not even receiving votes, although somehow Arkansas (really?) and Kansas State are.
- Missouri DID, however, move up in the S&P+ rankings, going from 31 to 28 after its easy win on Saturday.
- Missouri volleyball’s own Alyssa Munlyn is the SEC defensive player of the week! That’s the sixth time in her career that she’s won this award.

A day after launching the Xiaomi Redmi 4A in India, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer has announced that successors to the Redmi 3S and Redmi 3S Prime will be also be launched soon.
Xiaomi VP Manu Kumar Jain tweeted the announcement on March 20 but desisted from providing any further details. @RedmiIndia also tweeted a cryptic update saying we all would have to wait it out to see how soon the new smartphone would be launched.
Gizchina News of the week
The Redmi 3S was launched in India in August last year. It came with a Snapdragon 430 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, a 720p 5-inch display, 4100mAh battery, 13 mega-pixel rear camera and a 5 mega-pixel front facing camera. It was launched at $104 or 6,999 INR making it a decent mid-range competitor.
Since the Redmi 4A has already been launched in India, the mystery successor smartphone could be the Redmi 4X. The Xiaomi Redmi 4X is a recent launch but has acquired a decent number of admirers. At a price point of $100 in China, it even fits into the budget of Redmi 3S users.
The 435 Snapdragon processor on the 4X is an upgrade and so is the new fingerprint scanner on the back but the camera, RAM/ROM options and battery remain the same as Redmi 3S and Redmi 3S Prime. We will keep you posted as and when the mystery smartphone is revealed.
What do you think? Could there be an entirely new successor to the Redmi 3S?

There's no denying that Stranger Things is one of the biggest cultural phenomenons of the current decade. Netflix's '80s-loving sci-fi coming-of-age horror series has become an underdog sensation. Everyone wants to be the next Stranger Things. Even IT and IT: Chapter Two, two movies based on the Stephen King novel that was critical to Stranger Things' success, have now geared themselves towards the same crowd that flocked in droves to watch the hit Netflix series. As Stranger Things continues to draw more attention and acclaim after the premiere of season three, actors like Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard and the rest of the cast continue to rise.
While Stranger Things is still going strong, with plans for a fourth season currently underway, the cast is exceptionally more busy now than they were during the show's initial premiere. In between their time on the show, they've been working on a number of different projects, which continue to keep them preoccupied before it's time to return to set on the streaming series. It's clear that this series is making big waves in Hollywood, and there's no shortage of projects which have become available to them since the show's early success.
So we're taking a look at what these actors have done professionally outside of Stranger Things, and how they've been incorporated into a number of intriguing (if not always successful) projects which have opened up for them in the years since Stranger Things' premiere. Now that Season 3 has garnered a warm response, these actors are once again keeping themselves busy, and we're here to see what exciting projects they've found themselves — both big and small scale — in during the interim between Season 3 and 4, the latter of which is expected to premiere in mid-to-late 2021 (though that's not confirmed yet). Let's take a look at what exciting projects are in-the-works for these talented stars.
Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven)
While everyone in the ensemble for Stranger Things have received major profile boost through their involvement on the show, it might be Millie Bobby Brown who garnered the most attention and acclaim for her work on the show. In the mysterious role of Eleven, a wayward teen with psychokinetic abilities, a murky backstory and a little understanding of the world around her, the actress has earned two Emmy nominations and been propelled to stardom. Most notably, the actress was seen in Godzilla: King of the Monsters earlier this summer, and Brown recently returned to reprise her role as Madison Russell in the big monster movie event, Godzilla Vs. Kong, which is slated to come out on March 13, 2020.
Furthermore, Millie Bobby Brown is currently filming the title role in the new mystery drama Enola Holmes, which is centered around the child sister of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes. The upcoming film, which is directed by Fleabag helmer Harry Bradbeer, is also slated to come out sometime next year. Outside of these two forthcoming films, Millie Bobby Brown had been rumored to appear in Marvel's The Eternals, which is a claim that she has since shut down. It was also recently announced that Netflix will be distributing a new film produced and likely starring the actress titled A Time Lost. It's based on a story that was written by Millie Bobby Brown and her sister, Paige Brown. It's likely come out within a year.
Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler)
In addition to Stranger Things helping to turn Millie Bobby Brown into a potential future A-list star, Finn Wolfhard has similarly found himself as a performer on the rise thanks to his role in the show. He plays Mike Wheeler, an intelligent, good-natured young man who has a very close bond with his friends who finds his world shaken by the arrival of Eleven, whom he develops romantic feelings towards throughout the course of the series. The actor has notably been seen in IT and IT: Chapter Two in recent years, as well as Dog Days and this past weekend's The Goldfinch. He also lends his voice to the Netflix series, Carmen Sandiego, and he'll once again be seen (or, at least, heard) at the movies with the release of The Addams Family.
Outside of these films, Finn Wolfhard will also be seen in the dramatic horror film The Turning, which also stars Mackenzie Davis and The Florida Project's Brooklynn Prince, and that movie is set to come out on January 24th, 2020. Currently, though, the actor is filming one of his biggest roles to date in the new film, Ghostbusters 2020, which also stars Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon and several more familiar faces. No doubt production on that movie will likely be taking up his time until production on Stranger Things Season 4 gets underway, and reports suggest that might be as early as this fall.
Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson)
Much like his fellow stars, Gaten Matarazzo has endeared himself to a lot of people through his work on Stranger Things. Playing the role of Dustin Henderson, a young boy with a lisp and cleidocranial dysplasia, the actor is often a scene stealer during his scenes, and it's clear that his profile has been on the rise since he first appeared on the show. Outside of his work on Stranger Things, he's likely best known for his commercials for Verizon.
Beyond that, however, Gaten Matarazzo spends his time in the rock band Work in Progress, and he also has different acting jobs that keep him busy. He recently provided his voice to the animated sequel, The Angry Birds Movie 2, and he is also slated to provide his voice to the animated film, Hump. Additionally, Matarazzo is in the early stages of hosting and producing the hidden camera series, Prank Encounters, which earned some considerable backlash when the premise was first announced online. Netflix has defended its decision to go with the series, and it's expected to premiere next year.
Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair)
While Caleb McLaughlin hasn't earned as much of a career boost from Stranger Things as some of his fellow cast members, he has definitely made a great impression. In the role of Lucas Sinclair, he doesn't always get the most screen-time, but he always makes a good impression, proving himself to have a great chemistry with the other characters. Sure enough, there are filmmakers who have taken notice and casted the actor for some great parts.
Most recently, Caleb McLaughlin appeared in Steven Soderbergh's Netflix film, High Flying Bird, released earlier this year. And he's next slated to star in the drama Concrete Cowboy, which also stars Idris Elba. That film started filming this summer, and it should hopefully prove to be another standout role for the rising actor.
Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers)
Playing the role of Jonathan Byers, the paranoid outsider older brother of Will Byers, Charlie Heaton plays a quiet, reserved character with a stark look in his eyes that spells out any number of different things. Originally born in Britain, Heaton is both an actor and musician, and he certainly received more notice through his work on the streaming series. But he is the actor who has also found himself in a little bit of controversy outside of the show.
Specifically, Charlie Heaton was unable to attend the premiere of Stranger Things Season 2 when he was refused entry by customs, which found traces of cocaine in his luggage. He was put on a plane back to London, and he withdrew his application to enter America to avoid getting arrested. Besides that, however, Charlie Heaton is also slated to appear in the long-labored new X-Men spinoff movie, The New Mutants, which might come out one of these days. In addition to this role, he also recently filmed a role in the upcoming indie drama, The Souvenir: Part II, earlier this summer.
Joe Keery (Steve Harrington)
Although Joe Keery's role of Steve Harrington wasn't meant to be a main player during the first season, the character grew into a fan favorite as the show continued with its second and third seasons. At first, he's a popular kid who bullies Jonathan Byers, but he later befriends him and becomes a mainstay character throughout the series. Online, the actor has earned a great deal of attention, thanks in no small part to his wavy lush of brown hair.
As an actor, Joe Keery has played minor roles in bigger movies like Molly's Game and a memorable role in the indie horror comedy Slice. But the actor only has one movie lined up presently, Free Guy, with Ryan Reynolds, which reunites the rising actor with his Stranger Things director Shawn Levy. He is also a musician with the psychedelic rock band, Post Animal, and Keery has gotten more than a few people upset thanks to his brand new haircut.
Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler)
Similar to Charlie Heaton and Joe Keery, Natalia Dyer was often a supporting player in the first season of Stranger Things, but her character, Nancy Wheeler, continued to play a bigger part in the future seasons. Notably, in Season 1, she's looking for her missing friend Barbara and eventually finds herself on the other side. Outside of her work on the show, Natalia Dyer has been working on a lot of independent films, including The Nearest Human Being, Yes, God, Yes, and After Darkness. She also played a role in the new Netflix horror-satire, Velvet Buzzsaw, which premiered this year.
Natalia Dyer is next slated to be seen in the drama Tuscaloosa, which doesn't have an official release date yet. She also has been dating her Stranger Things co-star, Charlie Heaton, since 2017. So as their characters have formed a relationship, so too have the actors behind the parts, which is fitting enough.
David Harbour (Jim Hopper)
As the chief of the Hawkins Police Department, Jim Hopper, David Harbour easily became one of the biggest (and most unexpected) breakout stars of the series. His charismatic, well-mustachioed role has grown in prominence throughout Stranger Things, and it earned the veteran character actor a few of his biggest roles to date. Most notably, he attempted to take over the reigns of the Hellboy series earlier this year, though the resulting film, simply titled Hellboy, was both a critical and commercial flop, which makes the likelihood of any future sequels seem highly unlikely. But there's no need to worry right now.
David Harbour recently lent his talents to the quirky, faux autobiographical special, Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein, which found the actor playing many variations of his on-screen family lineage. He also recently filmed a role in the upcoming action-drama Dhaka, which is expected to be released later this year, if not early next year. But most notably, Harbour is currently working on his newest big role, which is an appearance in the next Marvel movie, Black Widow, where he will play Alexei Shostakov, better known as Red Guardian. Certainly, Stranger Things paved the way there.
Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers)
Certainly when Stranger Things first premiered on Netflix, Winona Ryder was easily the biggest name on the show. The actress was given a platform to shine in the role of Joyce Byers, the deeply concerned mother of the missing Will Byers, and her captivating role helped to gain more audiences in the show's first season run. Sure enough, the actress was already a well-established talent, but this success helped to bring her back into the frame.
Since Stranger Things premiered, Winona Ryder was given a chance to reconnect with Keanu Reeves in the underrated anti-rom-com, Destination Wedding. The actress is also currently filming a role in the mini-series, The Plot Against America, which should also hopefully give her time to shine. While the show hasn't bolstered her profile as much as some of her co-stars, it helped to bring her back into the public's graces, and that's very good.
There are other noteworthy actors who have played a big role in Stranger Things, including Noah Schnapp, Matthew Modine, Sean Astin and, most recently, Maya Hawke. But when it comes to the original ensemble, it's clear that the majority of these talented performers have found their careers elevated considerably thanks to the continued success of this popular Netflix series. Let us know which actor you'd like to see more in the comments.

2 LB Alkalinity Plus - Alkalinity Increaser
For owners of pools, spas and hot tubs, you'll quickly learn that total alkalinity (TA) is important to note and regulate. TA is a measure of how much of the alkaline substances are present in the water. Typically, the TA should remain in the range of 80 to 120. If your total alkalinity measures within this range, pH changes should remain stable and your water and tub or spa should operate at peak performance. If the total alkalinity is too low, then the marbelite and plaster walls will become etched, metals will corrode, and the walls and floor of your pool or spa will stain. The water may even turn green and your eyes will burn with use. The pH may rapidly drop and rise for what seems like no apparent reason. In instances like these, monitor your total alkalinity. Chances are, you are running at a deficiency. To raise the level of TA, use the sodium hydrogen carbonate Alkalinity Plus by Leisure Time.
Size 5 Lbs
Contents Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate
Function + Alkalinity
Compatible With Spa Chemicals
Use Amount 2 Tablespoons/500 Gallons
Application Directly into Spa Water, Dissolves
For online orders over $40 (before tax), shipping and handling is FREE. Orders that are under $40 will have a $5.99 shipping fee added. Most pool/spa supplies ship via Fed Ex and delivery times within the Continental U.S range from 2-5 days. All orders received before noon will ship that SAME DAY.

The contemporary re-imagining of Alexandria’s historic Great Library is the first stop for most tourists to Alexandria. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is the city’s cultural hub and one of Egypt’s most prominent modern landmarks. It has one of the most ambitious libraries in the contemporary world, as well as a number of museums dedicated to Alexandria’s history and legacy.
Its design is based on a massive sun disk that sits above the seaside Corniche. The main library and its reading room can house eight million books on the inside. The wonderfully organized exhibition rooms beneath the main library, however, are the major tourist attractions for tourists.
The Antiquities Museum in Alexandria houses a collection ranging from Ancient Egypt to the Greco-Roman era, with the highlight exhibitions exhibiting statuary discovered during underwater archaeological digs in the port. The Manuscript Museum, located under the library, houses a collection of ancient manuscripts and scrolls. There are other rooms dedicated to rotating contemporary art exhibitions, a permanent Egyptian folk art collection, and a Science Museum and Planetarium geared specifically at youngsters.

PASADENA, Calif. >> Scientists say the Martian soil at the rover Curiosity’s landing site contains minerals similar to what’s found on Hawaii’s Mauna Kea volcano.
The finding released Tuesday is the latest step in trying to better understand whether the environment could have been hospitable to microbial life.
Curiosity recently ingested its first soil sample and used one of its instruments to tease out the minerals present. An analysis revealed it contained feldspar and olivine, minerals typically associated with volcanic eruptions. Mission scientists say the Martian soil is similar to volcanic soil on the flanks of Mauna Kea.
Curiosity landed near the Martian equator in August on a two-year mission. It’ll be another month before it drills into its first rock. Then it’s expected to head toward a mountain by year’s end.
Haleakalā National Park recently celebrated the highest number of volunteer hours in park history at a volunteer awards ceremony. Superintendent Sarah Creachbaum and park staff honored 375+ local citizens, students, professionals, teachers, cowboys, life guards, and retired park service personnel who donated over 20,000 hours of time in fiscal year 2012.
In FY 2012, 377 volunteers donated their time and talents with projects including repairing and hauling trash from cabins, restoring native ecosystems, and providing education and safety information through interactions on trails, in visitor centers, and at special events. Service groups such as the Friends of Haleakalā and the Pacific Whale Foundation removed 39,000 weeds from the park. Park service retirees Ted Rodrigues and Ron Nagata led groups who contributed several thousand hours in back-country sanitation, trail repair, and weed removal.
This year, the park graduated 35 middle school, high school, college, and college graduate interns from the mainland and around the state. Students ages twelve to twenty-five gained conservation skills, such as identifying endangered birds like the `Ua`ū(the Hawaiian Petrel) and Nēnē goose. College students and graduates learned about climate change, public education, park facilities, Hawaiian culture, and botany while on the job. Students came away with an appreciation for the park’s fragile biological and cultural heritage and the many career paths available to them.
“One of the most rewarding aspects is seeing interns return to Haleakalā as employees helping with visitor safety, educating the public, and working with our endangered plants and wildlife. They also help teach a new generation of interns about conservation,” said Superintendent Creachbaum.
Since 1999, volunteers have contributed 214,000 hours of service to Haleakalā.
Conservation partners, including the Hawai`i Pacific Parks Assocation, the Maui Invasive Species Committee, Kupu, Maui Economic Opportunity, and University of Hawai`i Maui College, were recognized for protecting the park’s biodiversity and supporting student interns.
Double-digit increases in visitor expenditures across the four major islands and Moloka‘i for September contributed to an increase of $1.7 billion, to $10.7 billion, in year-to-date spending over 2011. While arrivals increased at a slower rate than recent months, we were extremely pleased that the pace of expenditure growth has not weakened.
As we head into the fourth quarter, we anticipate the momentum to continue with increases in airlift thanks to new routes by Hawaiian Airlines from Sapporo and Brisbane, Jetstar from Melbourne, and Allegiant from the West Coast, including a Bellingham to Kahului flight. These new routes are all servicing secondary cities, which will provide greater ease of access for visitors to come to the Hawaiian Islands. Festivals and events, including the EA Sports Maui Invitational, will also help to draw visitors this quarter.
In September 2012, increased daily spending (+9.8% to $203 per person) and arrivals (+2.4% to 161,721 visitors) elevated Maui’s total visitor expenditures (+13.3%) to $241.2 million. Growth in arrivals from U.S. West (+1.7% to 81,249) and Japan (+13.1% to 6,860) offset lower arrivals from U.S. East (-1.7% to 40,736) and Canada (-4.2% to 9,115).
Total visitor expenditures rose 19.8 percent, compared to year-to-date 2011, to $2.7 billion. Of the 1,730,468 visitors to Maui (+5.6%) through September 2012, 61.9 percent stayed there exclusively.
We are encouraged by the growth we have seen in expenditures and arrivals for the year so far, and remain committed to working with the industry and our global marketing partners to achieve our overall targets of $13.9 billion in expenditures and 7.9 million visitor arrivals by the end of 2012.
Construction workers damaged a waterline along Baldwin Avenue in Paia leaving customers from Skill Village to Paia School without water service from approximately 8:45 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Water service has since resumed; however, pressure may be lower than usual for a short time.
As a result of the water outage, the Department of Education has closed Paia School for the day.
Department of Water Supply (DWS) personnel are working on waterline repairs that affect traffic in two areas:
· Makaala Drive in Waiehu is closed from the intersection with Hilinai Street (north side, closer to Waiehu Beach Road) to the intersection with Kilihau Street. The road is currently closed and should reopen by 1:00 p.m. today.
· Wakea Avenue in Kahului will be closed from the Hoohana Street intersection to the Hukilike Street intersection from 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. today.
Motorists should follow signage and use detours. Customers are asked to call the DWS 24-hour service line (270-7633) only if a water problem occurs.
The second person to be canonized into sainthood for work serving the victims of disease during Kalaupapa’s darkest days is “on tour.”
A relic of St. Marianne Cope begins a five-day tour of Maui County this morning at St. Theresa’s Church in Kihei and culminate Saturday with a procession down the pali trail to Kalaupapa for events in the village where she served leprosy patients for more than three decades.
Today at 9:30 a.m., Saint Theresa’s Church in Kihei will host the relic – a tiny chip of bone from the hip of the saint. While non-religious people might find that idea slightly morbid, it is a custom in the Catholic Church that tiny fragments of the mortal body of a person who has achieved sainthood serve as powerful reminders of their existence.

St. Marianne, who was canonized in Rome on Oct. 21, took over the work of caring for leprosy patients in the community after St. Damien died shortly after her arrival there. She cared for residents of Kalaupapa for 30 years beginning in 1888 and died there at age 80 in 1918.
Her remains were exhumed from her grave site in Kalaupapa in 2005 and taken back to the Motherhouse chapel of her Sisters of St. Francis in Syracuse, N.Y.
The Hawaiian Islands tour of her relic began on Oahu the day of her canonization.
The public tour has reached Maui County and the schedule follows:
Tuesday — St. Theresa, 9:30 a.m., Maria Lanakila Church, Lahaina, 2 p.m.; Christ the King, Kahului, 4:30 p.m.
Wednesday — Our Lady Queen of Angels Church, Kula, 8 a.m.; St. Joseph Church, Makawao, noon; Holy Rosary Church, Paia, 3:30 p.m.; St. Anthony Church, Wailuku, 6:30 p.m.
Thursday — Sacred Hearts Church, Lanai City, 10 a.m. There will be an Anointing of the Sick, 1 p.m., and Mass, 4 p.m.
Friday — (Topside on Molokai) Our Lady of Seven Sorrows Church, Kaluaaha, 10:30 a.m.; St. Joseph Church, Kamalo, 11:15 a.m.; St. Damien Church, Kaunakakai, 6 p.m.
On Saturday, Bishop Larry Silva will greet the relic at the bottom of the pali trail to Kalaupapa at 9 a.m. From there, the relic will be taken to St. Philomena Church, the Baldwin Home, the landing and Judd Park in Kalawao.
Morning prayer is set for 10:30 at St. Elizabeth Chapel and Mass at St. Francis Church at 11 a.m. in Kalaupapa. A prayer of aloha will be said at 4:30 p.m. at Kalaupapa Airport.
The relic will end up at its home at Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace on Oahu after an event at Iolani Palace the next day.
In addition to the viewing of the relic, which will be visible in the box with a glass top, there will be performances of “November’s Song,” a play about St. Marianne. Performances of “November’s Song” will be held to coincide with the relic’s visit to Maui County. It will play today at Maria Lanakila at 7 p.m.; at St. Anthony, Wednesday, 7:45 p.m. and at Sacred Hearts on Lanai, Thursday, 3 p.m.

Cleonymus of Sparta
Cleonymus was a member of the Spartan royal family of the Agiads. He was the second son of Cleomenes II and a pretender to the Spartan throne. He did not succeed his father (died 309/308 BCE), allegedly because he was violent and tyrannic. His nephew Areus I became new king instead. Hence, he nursed a grudge against his fellow Spartans.
To help Taranto against the Lucani, Cleonymus went as mercenary leader to southern Italy with the backing of the Spartan administration (303 BCE). There are two different accounts of his Italian expedition; one were written by Diodorus Siculus and one by Livy. But the relations between the two sources are unclarified. The historian Thomas Lenschau supposes that they describe two different campaigns of Cleonymus: that one described by Diodorus Siculus would have taken place in 303 BCE and that one described by Livy in 302 BCE.
According to Diodorus Siculus Cleonymus raised such a large army that the Lucani immediately concluded peace. Then the Spartan prince took the city of Metaponto and sailed to Corcyra which island he also quickly captured. Learning that Taranto and other cities had broken with him he sailed back and was at first successful, but then he was defeated at a night attack. Since a lot of his ships were destroyed by a storm at the same time he had to withdraw to Corcyra (303/302 BCE).
Probably in the next year (302 BCE) Cleonymus returned to Italy and – according to Livy – first conquered a city called Thuriae, which is not exactly localized. But Roman armies forced him to go back to his ships. He then sailed to the north across the Adriatic Sea and landed at the coast of the Veneti. From the mouth of the Meduacus (now Brenta River) he sailed upstream to the country of Patavium (now Padua) and raided the nearby villages. But the natives defeated him and he suffered great losses – allegedly four fifths of his ships were destroyed. Cleonymus had to leave the territory of Patavium. It is unknown how his campaign ended.
Cleonymus is next mentioned in 293 BCE. By then he seems to have returned to Sparta and was now sent to Boeotia to help the inhabitants against Demetrius I Poliorcetes. But when this diadoch arrived with an army Cleonymus withdrew.
As an older man Cleonymus married the beautiful Chilonis as his second wife. Chilonis was the daughter of Leotychidas, who was a member of the other Spartan royal family of the Eurypontids. However, Chilonis loved Acrotatus II, the grand-nephew of Cleonymus. Deeply offended Cleonymus left Sparta and, in 272 BCE, persuaded Pyrrhus to back his claim to the Spartan throne. Pyrrhus was confident he could take the city of Sparta with ease, however, the Spartans, with even the women taking part in the defense, succeeded in beating off Pyrrhus' attacks. At this point Pyrrhus received an appeal for help from his supporters in Argos which was being attacked by Antigonus Gonatas and he called off the attack. Cleonymus does not appear in the sources after this event any more so that his further lot is unknown.

“Always Coca-Cola” – a brand promise made… and kept
For some, this year’s Interbrand Best Global Brands rankings come as no surprise. Apart from a slight reshuffling, the top five brands remain unchanged.
As the best global brand for the eighth year in a row, CocaCola is keeping its brand promise to consumers. IBM takes over the No. 2 position from Microsoft, which now ranks third. General Electric (GE) and Nokia rank fourth and fifth respectively.
Although there aren’t any South African brands in Interbrand’s top 100 ranking, the top 10 have on average been around for 84 years, said Interbrand South Africa’s chairman Jeremy Sampson at a recent forum event hosted by the University of Pretoria’s Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS).
The important thing is that these companies are holding up and retaining their huge brand values in turbulent markets, said Sampson.
Protecting and growing a brand is becoming increasingly important. “It is a business’s most valuable asset. And, during times of economic uncertainty it is far less volatile than other assets,” he said.
Strong brands grow in weak economies, because they accrue future demand and customer loyalty. But, irrespective of whether the times are good or bad, Sampson said, the key to success is understanding how your brand creates value.
For example, top search engine Google, now in tenth position, is 2008’s biggest climber. The brand is now valued at US$25 590 million, up 43% from last year.
“Google is no longer just an internet brand. It is the internet,” said Sampson. Almost all of Google’s revenues come from advertising on its search result pages.
Innovations, like Google Earth and Google Mobile make the brand an increasingly important part of our daily lives.
But, in the ever changing landscape of privacy and copyright law, Google has its critics. The company is increasingly tested against its unofficial corporate motto: “Don’t be evil.”
The value of green continues to shade brand performance, as companies evaluate the environmental, social and financial impacts of their sustainability initiatives.
Companies like GE (4) and BP (84) moved up the ranking by making substantial investments in sustainable business practices. BP is also the leader in working towards greener energy and investing in sustainable energy sources.
Sampson said sustainability efforts should be consistent with a brand’s positioning, create value for the business and do the right thing for the planet.
2008’s biggest loser, Ford, continues to struggle, after investing heavily in the rapidly shrinking big truck market.
“Despite changing its product portfolio, consumers are still not convinced that Ford does more than manufacture big gas guzzlers,” said Sampson.
“Although Ford now produces smaller vehicles in the US, it needs to communicate with customers and employees to re-establish its reputation,” said Sampson.
Changing its image won’t happen overnight. “Negative media coverage on the company’s performance also undermines internal and external confidence in the brand.”
He said people have emotional relationships with brands. If something goes slightly wrong with one of our favourite brands, we give it a second chance. But, if we don’t have a relationship with a brand, we won’t, because we have alternatives.
“Brand value is about creating, managing and measuring brand value across every aspect of the business,” said Sampson. “In driving brand value, the brand should be at the core of the business. It becomes the uniting force in everything you do and say.”
He said you optimise a brand’s performance by only spending money on the things that will drive demand and create value.
Sampson said many of the major brands weren’t thought of as brands originally. They came about through professional management, marketing, and through investment, which is not necessarily synonymous with advertising.
He said ten years ago 90% of companies’ marketing and advertising spend went to “above the line” advertising. That’s dropped to way below 50%. Many of the world’s biggest brands, like Starbucks, don’t advertise at all.
Sampson said, in future, companies will increasingly use mobile texting or SMS and the Internet. Apart from being cheaper, these media channels are more targeted, more precise and more controllable than traditional marketing and advertising channels.
“The world is in turmoil. You need to be a solid brand for your customers so that their world makes a little more sense,” said Santie Botha, marketing officer at mobile network provider MTN, which has been around for 14 years.
“You need to think big, think fast and think ahead. Ideas are no one’s monopoly,” she said.
Successful brands understand their markets and, therefore, constantly reinvent themselves. That’s why MTN (which sees itself as a truly “glocal” company) employs local people, who understand the market, but also have international experience.
Commenting on how to get the elusive Generation Y’s attention, Botha said it is about addiction; hooking into people’s passions and getting into their bloodstreams.
Botha said Generation Y is about four things:

Battle lines are being drawn at City Hall over whether the Austin Convention Center should continue to receive most of the city’s hotel taxes — and be expanded — or whether other city tourist draws should get some of that revenue for improvements.
Council Members Ellen Troxclair, Kathie Tovo, Leslie Pool and Ann Kitchen are backing an item for a vote next week that would slightly reduce the percentage of hotel taxes going to the convention center and city marketing arm Visit Austin from 85 percent to 70 percent — or from $59.8 million to $55.3 million. The measure would put $11.9 million into parks and preservation instead.
That money could go to improving historic attractions that might draw tourists, such as Barton Springs, Zilker Park, the Montopolis School or Palm School, the proposed resolution says. Using hotel tax money could free up some of the general fund dollars that currently go toward those facilities.
The city’s hotel occupancy tax of 9 percent yielded more than $90 million in 2017. But only a small percentage of visitors to the city — 2 percent, by one estimate using 2013 numbers — come here for conventions.
Mayor Steve Adler fired back at the proposal with a post to the council’s message board Tuesday afternoon calling it a threat to the “Downtown Puzzle” idea he brought forward last month to expand the convention center and raise money to help the homeless.
RELATED: Adler calls for tax plan to help Convention Center and homeless
“Item 60 threatens our tourism industry,” he said of the other council members’ agenda item. “Excessive cuts to convention center funding would harm our ability to host conventions even at our current scale, which threatens existing service and hospitality industry jobs downtown.”
The Downtown Puzzle, as Adler proposed it, would increase hotel taxes 2 percent by 2021 to fund a larger convention center, and it would create a downtown Tourism Public Improvement District that would also collect taxes on hotel stays to address downtown issues, including homelessness.
The plan would commit $559 million of an estimated $609 million in hotel tax revenue through 2021 toward expanding and promoting the convention center. It would allow perhaps $4 million to $8 million per year during that time to go to homeless initiatives.
Adler argued the council members’ proposal would torpedo those efforts, and he immediately moved to add discussion of the Downtown Puzzle to the Aug. 31 council agenda. But Troxclair said in a response to the mayor’s message that the allocation of hotel tax money for next year is a separate matter from Adler’s proposal to add new hotel taxes.
Hotel tax, by law, can only be spent on specific things that directly bring tourists to Austin. Only 15 percent of it can go to cultural draws, such as arts and music, and 15 percent can go toward the preservation of historic attractions. The city already spends the allotted amount on cultural things. Troxclair’s proposal would allocate 15 percent to historic park features.
The debate over the convention center’s allocation of city hotel taxes is by no means a new one. Last year, the council convened a task force to study the city’s tourism and review how to best spend hotel taxes. Their recommendation came back in May: to expand the convention center.
RELATED: Task force calls for raising hotel tax to pay for convention center expansion
Last week, Troxclair pointedly asked task force Chairman James Russell if he felt the task force was able to consider all of its options with convention center advocates, including the CEOs of the convention center and Visit Austin, as members.
“I don’t think anybody could argue that there were a couple sales pitches on expanding the convention center,” Russell said. “It was a pretty big turn-off to a lot of folks. … I (said,) ‘If this task force ends up recommending a convention center expansion, it’s going to be in spite of, not because of (those pitches).’ And that’s, quite frankly, where we got to.
“We, frankly, decided that more money was better. And the way to get more money was to expand the Cconvention Ccenter.”
During a budget workshop Wednesday, Tovo and Council Member Alison Alter asked about the convention center’s business model, how much hotel tax money it needed to cover its debt and how much money it keeps in reserves. Others made the point repeatedly that only a small portion of Austin visitors are conventiongoers.
“I have difficulty understanding the relevancy of whatever that number is,” the mayor replied. “The convention center’s job is not to increase that percentage. … Is it bringing in people? Is it pushing revenue or restaurants? Is it creating hotels?”
He argued that the convention center is key to bringing in visitors during the week, to keep business steadier for restaurants and hotels that often draw weekend visitors.
IN-DEPTH: Was convention center’s last expansion a failure or a success?
“I like to think of downtown as kind of the boiler room of the city,” Adler said. “We feed in the coal here and the energy happens, and we end up with pocket parks all over the city and clinics all over the city and planning for health and human services all over the city.”
Troxclair and Kitchen replied that they agree having a robust convention center is important, but believe it could still operate well with somewhat less funding.
“It’s a matter of degrees,” Kitchen said. “There’s a lot of things that go into supporting tourism in our city, not to mention some of the things people come here for. … Tourism would be hurt if we didn’t have a Zilker Park, if we didn’t have a Barton Springs, if we didn’t have an Umlauf gardens. That is part of our engine.”

VCA Animal Hospitals told Newsweek that, like “many canine behaviors, howling has ancestral roots. In the wild, safety-conscious wolves in the woods bellowed to announce their location to other members of their pack family.
“Brave wolves howled to warn other wild animals to stay away from their territory. Your dog may not howl to pinpoint their whereabouts or keep intruders at bay, but now, as in generations past, dogs howl as a form of communication.”
But what is your dog trying to tell you when they howl?
Experts say that domesticated dogs can use howling to attempt to communicate a wide range of messages. They may be telling you to come to find them. In the wild, canine packs stay home while others scout areas for food. VCA veterinarians think howling was developed to call the other pack members and help them find each other. The veterinarians said that the canines that stayed home would signal the location of the home base to the other canines through howling.
“After being left home alone, a dog may howl when they hear you drive up to your house or when they spot you climbing the steps in an attempt to guide you safely back to them.” However, howling can also mean they want you to go away. The VCA said,
“Howling signals to incoming dogs that a particular area is already claimed, and visitors aren’t welcome. Howling is a good defense mechanism that wards off potential predators. As dogs protect their homes, they may howl when a visitor approaches their territory.”
Maybe they just want to tell you that they’re there. An approaching dog might howl to let other dogs know that they are coming. “Howling alerts surrounding dogs that their environment is about to change,” said the VCA.
But your furry friend might just want some attention. Maybe they haven’t been able to get your attention in another way, so they begin to howl.
According to the VCA, “This verbal canine manipulation can become bothersome, so humans must learn not to reward vocal demands. Try to avoid eye contact and resist the urge to approach a howling dog. Don’t pet him or talk to him but don’t scold him either.
But be wary because sometimes, they might be trying to tell you something more urgent like they are hurt. They could also be calling you to tell you they’ve found something.
Some dog breeds are much more vocal than other dogs, and it also depends on your dog’s personality type. Pack dogs will often be much more vocal because of their roots, while smaller dogs might be more vocal because of their size.
What about when your dog is howling at the sirens passing by? Howling can happen as a response to an environmental trigger.
Adem Fehmi, Dog Behaviorist, told Newsweek, “This is similar to dogs howling at music. One school of thought is that the siren or music replicates similar pitches and sounds to a howl and so, when heard, some dogs look to respond by howling in return.
Source: Buddy Mercury/Youtube
Dogs can also howl when alone, stressed, anxious, or agitated. Many pup parents experience problems leaving their dogs at home because they will howl all day until their ultimate return.
Adem Fehmi said, “We often refer to this as a dog experiencing ‘separation anxiety’ and there are sometimes other signs present that indicate that they are feeling anxious about being left alone.”
“If your dog is experiencing separation anxiety, it is recommended that you seek advice from an accredited behaviorist so that they can tailor the training to your individual dog and home routines.”
Fehmi however, shared three tips with Newsweek to help dogs overcome separation anxiety. He says to exercise them before leaving, give them something to do, and try to create a calming environment for the dog.
NEVER ‘debark‘ your dog. This is a cruel practice that is robbing them of their instincts. Whatever the reason for your pup’s howls, don’t get mad at them. It is just their instinct. However, you can train them to let you know what they want in other ways besides a loud howl, which can, at times, be irritating. Talk to your vet or a dog behavioralist to try to find some solutions.

Green Bay, WI (SportsNetwork.com) - Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley left Sunday's meeting with the Browns on a stretcher in the third quarter after taking a hard shot to the head from Cleveland safety Tashuan Gipson.
Finley made a 10-yard grab over the middle late in the third quarter and lowered his head as he was taken to the ground. Gipson came in to finish the tackle and caught Finley flush in the helmet with his helmet.
Finley remained motionless on the turf while the training staff attended to him, as players from both teams knelt around the Green Bay tight end, who was then taken off the field on a stretcher.
Finley could be seen lifting his arm on his way toward the locker room and preliminary reports stated that he suffered a neck injury but did have movement in all his extremities.
The 26-year-old veteran had five catches for 72 yards and a touchdown prior to the injury.

Luckily for us who have the opportunity to live in Saudi Arabia, we have the chance to a higher income with a low cost of living. This means, an occasional weekend trip shouldn’t be much of a bank breaker.
Well, Life In Saudi Arabia published an article that tells us the 8 countries where ANYONE with an Iqama permit or a valid GCC residency permit can visit:
(P.S. Some of these are visa-on-arrival or completely visa-free)
This island is a bare 2-hour drive from Khobar and welcomes Saudi nationals and expats with open arms. As one of the friendliest countries in the world, good food, great vibes and plenty activities are provided to its visitors.
King Fahd Causeway can get you an easy visa-on-arrival or you can simply get the visa from their airport. It’s best to check requirements necessary online before booking, however.
This beautiful country is home to the best sunsets, nature and environment. Your Instagram account won’t look basic after visiting this magical place.
Even better? It’s visa-free.
Just have a look through the requirements prior to your travel.
This North African country is a great place for the summer. With stunning resorts, endless views and that blend of Arab and French language.
What are you waiting for?
Oh and it’s completely visa-free.
4. United Arab Emirates
The Burj Khalifa, Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Mosque and Ras Al Khaimah’s beachside hotels. UAE is a dream destination for most, and although this country doesn’t offer visa-on-arrival as simply as the others… It’s still a pretty simple process to obtain the E-Visa.
aka Queen Rania’s home..
Its proximity to a certain part of Saudi is one big reason to visit this gorgeous country. They offer an easy visa-on-arrival for Iqama and GCC residence permit holders.
Kim Kardashian’s roots are well- defined through this country. Armenia is a treasure cove that gives you that good ole’ nature life.
But… only Indians with GCC residence permits or Iqama holders get to visit with visa-on-arrival.
We’ll get back to you on the other countries that do soon.
An oasis with high mountains, clear waters and a very rich culture. Oman is close to the UAE and a great pit stop or main destination for tourists.
Although there are a few requirements prior to arrival, anyone with the GCC or Iqama permits are entitled to visa-on-arrival.
This Gulf country will feel a little like home but with some difference, it’s worth a visit though.. because.. their FOOD is everything.
Try for yourself and see.
All of us with the GCC and Iqama permits can get visas-on-arrival either by the border or the airport.

QUILT BARACHIEL / LUCK
This original art quilt measures 26X24X1.5 inches and the image is wrapped around a wooden frame like a painting canvas. The technique I use to create a three-dimensional effect, and I can assure you that you will love it ten times more in person.
ARTIST STATEMENT: Horse Serie
I used to be afraid of horses, because of past negative experiences even though I was aware of their elegance and spiritual energy. I had to conquer my fear. And I did, through art, through textile, through expression. Today, quilting horses has proven to be the best way for me to achieve peace, to create a cheerful serenity. This piece is part of a new series of quilts representing horses named after divine entities and embodying a specific spiritual essence. Horses are often used to symbolize, to refer to an angel or a heavenly being as emblems of purity, of grace, of hope. They are portrayed as messengers, guides, and bearers of protection. With this series, I want to create quilts that speak to your soul, that touch the right chord, the one with which you identify. Because even though I know that many people do not really believe in a spiritual force, it is still comforting to think that someone or something is watching over us. And horses have that effect on me: they soothe and calm. May they evoke a similar feeling in you as well.
All my pieces of art are made of batik cotton and treated for UV and stain.
Artwork made from textiles has the potential to keep its colour and integrity for many years with regular maintenance.
About every three months, gently dust the surface with the soft brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner. Open the duct of the wand to reduce strong suction. If soiled, you can gently rub with a damp cloth.
The fabric needs to breathe, so do not seal in plastic for more than a month. For transport or short-term storage, plastic wrapping is fine.
For extended storage, wrap the work in a clean sheet or pillowcase, and keep it out of dampness and excessive temperatures.
As with any other artwork, do not hang the work in the direct sun. If it is to hang in an excessively smoky or dusty environment, consider an acrylic cover or traditional mounting with glass. Consult professional for options.

Toys safer than ever, but parents urged to remain vigilant
By The Associated Press
Published: Wednesday, November 21, 2012, 4:50 p.m.
Updated: Wednesday, November 21, 2012
WASHINGTON — Toys are safer than ever before, consumer advocates say, but parents should remain vigilant in keeping their little ones away from powerful magnets and small items that can easily cause choking.
“The main trend that we saw this year was that we didn't find as many toxic toys as we thought we would,” said Nasima Hossain, a public health advocate for Public Interest Research Group.
PIRG examined more than 200 toys on store shelves at major retailers and dollar stores and tested about three dozen toys for lead and chemicals called phthalates, which are used to make plastic products softer but have been linked to reproductive defects and other health problems. A 2008 product safety law ushered in new standards for children's products, including strict limits on lead and phthalates allowed in toys.
Of the toys tested, only one — a Morphobot action figure — turned up lead levels that exceeded the stricter federal limit on how much metal can be in the toy. For phthalates, the toys all met the federal standard for what's allowed, though a Dora the Explorer backpack had levels that would trigger disclosure under Washington state and California law, the report said.
Small toys that could choke children and loud toys that could lead to hearing loss were concerns of this year's report.
A Dora the Explorer guitar and a set of colorful toy car keys for infants were cited for being excessively loud. Play food sets of everything from little strawberries to miniature sausage, as well as small dragster cars that had tiny rubber traction bands on the wheels that could come loose, all were listed as small enough to cause a child to choke.
The group highlighted renewed concerns about magnets, especially high-powered magnets in executive desktop toys for adults and a finger-play magnet toy for kids called Snake Eggs that PIRG found at a dollar store.
PIRG cited government estimates of 1,700 emergency room visits between 2009 and 2011 involving the ingestion of high-powered magnets. Most cases involved children between 4 and 12 years old. Older children have accidentally ingested the balls while trying to mimic tongue piercings. The magnets, such as the ones in the popular Buckyball desktop toys, can cling together if swallowed, pinch internal tissue and lead to serious injuries.
Stacy Leistner of the Toy Industry Association said his group agrees that strong magnets are a risk for children and should not be available to them. The Consumer Product Safety Commission this summer sued New York-based Maxfield and Oberton, the maker of Buckyball desktop toys, to stop their sale. The finger-fidget toys are designed for adults, but CPSC said it was hearing of many injuries involving children.
Maxfield has maintained that the toys are for adults, marketed to adults and carry clear warning labels — but it announced last month that it would stop making the Buckyball series. CPSC is considering a ban on high-powered magnet sets.

Toyota's rapidly expanding UK model line-up gains another new member this week with the sales launch of the new Toyota Verso, bringing more style, space, safety and advanced equipment features to the compact MPV segment.
The third generation of the seven-seat Toyota Verso has a new look inside and out and translates larger external and wheelbase dimensions into added comfort for those on board, particularly for rear seat passengers who have significantly more head and legroom. There is also substantially more load space, even with all three rows of seats in place.
Shifting the balance between seat and storage space is easier than ever before, thanks to an improved version of Toyota's Easy Flat-7 system, making flat-folding of each rear seat a simple one-touch operation.
In common with all new Toyota models, the new Toyota Verso benefits from Toyota Optimal Drive powertrains across the entire range, giving stronger performance but lower emissions and improved economy compared to the previous model. The new 1.8-Valvematic petrol engine, available with a new six-speed manual gearbox or Multimode S CVT system, musters an additional 18bhp compared to the 1.8 VVT-i unit it replaces, while bringing CO2 emissions down by 19g/km to 165g/km (manual) and gaining an extra 3.7 miles from a gallon of fuel with an official 40.4mpg in combined cycle driving.
The 125bhp (126 DIN hp) 2.0-litre D-4D engine has been revised with new piezo-electric injectors and higher injection pressure, helping achieve higher torque performance and lower emissions. A 2.2-litre D-CAT 150 engine with Toyota's four-way DPNR clean diesel catalyst system will join the range later this year, offered with a new six-speed automatic transmission.
The new Toyota Verso is available in a three-grade model range: T2, TR and T Spirit. T2 models come equipped with five airbags (including curtain airbags protecting all three rows of seats), air conditioning, four-speaker audio with steering wheel-mounted controls, Easy Flat-7 folding rear seats, electrically adjustable heated door mirrors, electric front windows and body coloured bumpers and door handles.
The Toyota Verso's TR grade, which will account for around 73 per cent of sales, includes Bluetooth, an Aux-in socket for connecting personal music players, additional driver and front passenger side airbags, leather steering wheel and gear knob trim, electric rear windows, front foglights and 16-inch alloy wheels.
T Spirit models gain premium features such as climate control, automatic windscreen wipers and headlights, Smart Entry and Start, cruise control and 17-inch alloys. The auto-dimming rear view mirror includes an integrated display which shows real-time images relayed from the car's rear parking camera.
Key options include a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery and two satellite navigation systems. TR models can be specified with a DVD-based system with Bluetooth, while T Spirit versions can be equipped with hard disk drive (HDD) system with a seven-inch colour touch-screen display. The HDD also provides a music storage function, so owners can create their personal on-board juke box.

About the park
Beaver Dam Flats Park lies along the eastern bank of the Bow River in the southeast part of the city. The park was created in the early 1980s and occupies about 43 hectares. The name is derived, as you might guess, from the fact that there were beaver dams down on the flats.
Experience nature in the city
Beaver Dam Flats as an extensive shrub community, consisting primarily of Canada Buffaloberry, Saskatoon, American Silverberry and Water Birch, is found along the escarpment.
The old river channel at the base of the escarpment provides an important aquatic habitat that differs markedly from the fast flowing waters of the river. Watch the river for diving ducks such as Common Goldeneye and Buffleheads and check the old river channel for dabbling ducks such as Mallards and Blue-winged Teal. Also look along the river for Bald Eagles hunting for their prey.
The gravel bar provides the foundation for the Balsam Poplar Riverine Forest. The aging poplars are home to woodpeckers, nuthatches and chickadees. Look in the shrubs - look for catbirds, kingbirds and blackbirds.
The park includes a section of the escarpment but most of the area is on the flats. The flats are gravel deposits on an outer curve of the river. Consequently the shape of the park is constantly changing as some areas are washed away and others built up.
Prior to becoming parkland, the flats were owned by various large land-owners although there is no evidence of major human activities or settlement in the area. But, there is an interesting structure called a "sappers bridge" built in 1992 by military field engineers, otherwise known as sappers.
There are numerous community and public parks in Calgary to explore.

Background: Intravenous (IV) cyclophosphamide has been first-line treatment for inducing disease remission in lupus nephritis. The comparative efficacy and toxicity of newer agents such as mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and calcineurin inhibitors are uncertain.Study Design: Network meta-analysis.Setting & Population: Patients with proliferative lupus nephritis.Selection Criteria for Studies: Randomized trials of immunosuppression to induce or maintain disease remission.Interventions: IV cyclophosphamide, oral cyclophosphamide, MMF, calcineurin inhibitor, plasma exchange, rituximab, or azathioprine, alone or in combination.Outcomes: Complete remission, end-stage kidney disease, all-cause mortality, doubling of serum creatinine level, relapse, and adverse events.Results: 53 studies involving 4,222 participants were eligible. Induction and maintenance treatments were administered for 12 (IQR, 6-84) and 25 (IQR, 12-48) months, respectively. There was no evidence of different effects between therapies on all-cause mortality, doubling of serum creatinine level, or end-stage kidney disease. Compared to IV cyclophosphamide, the most effective treatments to induce remission in moderate-to high-quality evidence were combined MMF and calcineurin inhibitor therapy, calcineurin inhibitors, and MMF (ORs were 2.69 [95% CI, 1.74-4.16], 1.86 [95% CI, 1.05-3.30], and 1.54 [95% CI, 1.04-2.30], respectively). MMF was significantly less likely than IV cyclophosphamide to cause alopecia (OR, 0.21; 95% CI, 0.12-0.36), and MMF combined with calcineurin inhibitor therapy was less likely to cause ovarian failure (OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.07-0.93). Regimens generally had similar odds of major infection. MMF was the most effective strategy to maintain remission.Limitations: Outcome definitions not standardized, short duration of follow-up, and possible confounding by previous or subsequent therapy.Conclusions: Evidence for induction therapy for lupus nephritis is inconclusive based on treatment effects on all-cause mortality, doubling of serum creatinine level, and end-stage kidney disease. MMF, calcineurin inhibitors, or their combination were most effective for inducing remission compared to IV cyclophosphamide, while conferring similar or lower treatment toxicity. MMF was the most effective maintenance therapy. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of the National Kidney Foundation, Inc.

Movement and Architecture Beautifully Confused
Following last month’s Being Human festival, Beautiful Confusion Collective and Jon Millington (School of Advanced Study) discuss the ideas behind their micro-residency in Senate House, supported by Leading Women.
If you’re familiar with the University of London’s great landmark building, Senate House, you’ll appreciate William Beveridge’s description of “a great architectural feature in swirling tides of traffic.” You may know that its austere grandeur inspired George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth in Nineteen Eighty Four, and you may have heard the urban myth that Hitler had his eye on the place as a possible post-invasion HQ. It’s certainly imposing, but what does all this metal, glass and travertine mean for the people who inhabit the space? How does human scale interface with the monumental?
In November 2018, the five women who comprise Beautiful Confusion Collective established base camp in the Vice-Chancellor’s meeting room on the first floor, and set about answering some of these questions through their project Movement/Architecture, which was supported by the Leading Women campaign. Over the course of Being Human festival, the women explored space, scale and the movement of the female body within the grand interiors of Senate House through a series of pop-up performances around the building.
Mapping spaces with the body
The brainchild of artistic director and performer Becka McFadden, who first encountered Senate House as a student at Goldsmiths, Movement/Architecture emerged from within another great Art Deco building, the semi-derelict Hornsey Town Hall, during its recent reopening as a home to artists and creative start-ups.
In a period of research and development funded by Arts Council England, Movement/Architecture developed as a working method that produces both a dance with architectural space, and what McFadden describes as “a choreographic technology for storing and mapping spaces in flux”.
Rooms, corridors, stairs and other spaces are physically mapped and stored in the body, which then has the capacity to evoke those spaces in performance for spectators who have never seen them.
At Senate House, the performers each chose a single architectural space where improvisational work was undertaken, often observed by users of the building. You may have seen them, dressed in black, moving in corners, stairwells, lifts and lobbies, seemingly dancing with parts of the building as partner – around the ceremonial staircase, in the remote recesses of staircase no. 3, and even under the glass ceiling of Deller Hall.
Interaction with spaces was followed by a period of writing and drawing, in which each performer created a record of the space as she experienced it, encompassing any memories or associations that the process evoked. The unconventional blueprints that emerged from this process formed the basis of a repeatable score built from this material.
But before the physical work in Senate House could start, Beautiful Confusion began with conversations. As a means to celebrate and commemorate women within the university sector, they were keen to hear the experiences of women who work, visit and study in Senate House, and their first act was to extend an open invitation to staff and students to meet the team and share stories.
“In our discussions with female staff,” says McFadden, “we learned about the dearth of paintings of women throughout the building”, and it is significant that whereas much of their work in the first half of the residency was undertaken under the gaze of portraits of past (male) Vice-Chancellors, most of the second half saw them sharing space with Laurie Griffiths’ newly unveiled photographic portraits of ten leading women working within the University of London today.
Conscious of the struggle for gender equality ongoing within the worlds of both higher education and architecture (the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale was the first in all sixteen seasons of the event’s existence to be curated by women), Beautiful Confusion’s residency also investigated ways in which gender informs staff and student experiences of the building. They explored questions of access and permission, asking who these spaces are for, which areas are forbidden and to whom, who is allowed in (and who is to be kept out). This lent additional narrative tension to their final performances in the Jessel and Court rooms, where the representations and recreations of their chosen spaces were both physically sharp and emotionally charged.
'The building is my partner in this dance'
In engaging with space as potential playground, while exploring the limits of its intended purpose, Beautiful Confusion are opening a new kind of dialogue between performative and architectural practice, and are leading the way in how we respond imaginatively to the spaces we construct for ourselves.
As performer Sílvia Almeida describes it, “in this journey I feel the pure sensation of a duet between the body, our bodies and a building with everything in it, our memories, the history of a particular place. The building is my partner in this dance. When we do it - Movement and Architecture - it is as if nothing else matters, the time stops, all the clocks stop to live this encounter.”
Beautiful Confusion are: artistic director and performer Becka McFadden, performers Sílvia Almeida, Roxani-Eleni Garefalaki, dramaturg Mary Ann Hushlak, movement director Sylvie Robaldo. Follow them on Instagram @beautifulconfusioncollective.

The Best Podcast You're Currently Not Listening To
As a longtime podcast listener I'm always weary when someone suggests a new podcast to add into my weekly lineup. But I'm pleased to say this podcast deserves to be in your weekly lineup! I've been listening to this podcast since the start of football season (NCCA & NFL) and it's always insightful and always posted on time (an underrated but valuable point). BTB radio podcasts are an absolute must-listen for anyone interested in handicapping and or sports in general. The perspectives Kyle, Adam, Cole, Joe, and the entire team provide (for free) will certainly improve your knowledge of handicapping but also help you improve your current systems/approach which translates to gains. My favorite aspect of the show is the honesty and complete explanation of their thought processes/perspectives.
