Everything You Need to Know About The War of the Worlds by Rhum and Clay
The classic science fiction story, The War of the Worlds is playfully reimagined by Rhum and Clay Theatre Company and comes to Worthing this May as part of Brighton Festival 2021.
Here are a few interesting facts about the show and the company.
Rhum and Clay Theatre Company is an award-winning theatre company led by co-Artistic Directors Julian Spooner and Matt Wells and Executive Producer, Sally Cowling and is based in London at the New Diorama Theatre.
In 2018, co-Artistic Director and The War of the Worlds cast member, Julian Spooner, followed in the footsteps of the likes of Daniel Kitson, Monica Dolan and Phoebe Waller-Bridge by winning a coveted Stage Award for Acting Excellence for his performance in Mistero Buffo.
The War of the Worlds by Rhum and Clay is a remarkable new play inspired by Orson Welles’ radio broadcast and by H.G. Wells’ original novel which was published in 1897. The latter was one of the first examples of the ‘science fiction’ genre, about a conflict between mankind and extra-terrestrial life.
In 1938, Orson Welles’ created a thrilling radio adaptation. When aired as part of a CBS drama series, the Mercury Theatre on the Air, it caused public panic amongst listeners, many of whom thought it was real because they were listening to a radio ventriloquist on another channel and missed the opening credits.
In Welles’ broadcast, the aliens land in Grover’s Mill, New Jersey. For research, Julian Spooner visited the town, which has a café dedicated to the broadcast and a monument claiming that in 1938 up to 1 million people believe the Martian invasion was real.
Fast forward, and the internet has replaced the radio as the medium through which we get our news. Rhum and Clay interweave Welles’ inflammatory broadcast with that of a modern-day podcaster wrestling with her own demons. The cast of four takes the audience on a journey through time, from an era when breaking news was shared live on-air to today’s clickbait headlines and Twitter trends.
Rhum and Clay have performed their previous shows all over the world, from Brazil to Venezuela, from Canada to Kazakhstan. The War of the Worlds is also heading to America later in the year and to Australia next year.

Gardaí find €333,000 worth of drugs across eight properties in Mayo
A major operation was undertaken in Mayo today.
Earlier today, members of the Mayo Divisional Drugs Taskforce, the Armed Support Unit, the Garda Dog Unit, and Gardaí attached to Ballina Garda Station searched a total of eight properties in the Ballina area, finding €333,000 worth of drugs.
Gardaí searched eight properties between 9am and 4pm this afternoon (28 May), finding one cannabis growhouse containing suspected cannabis plants valued at approximately €265,000 was discovered at a house in Attymass, Ballina.
One man was arrested in connection with this growhouse, and is currently detained at Ballina Garda Station.

The people shown in this family portrait are the Graysons. The portrait tells us not only what Andrew Jackson Grayson, his wife Frances, and their son Ned looked like, but it also tells us about an important chapter in their family history and in American history.
The artist could have positioned the figures in a variety of ways, but he shows the adults looking west toward the light in the distance. This detail is important because it relates to the family’s life-changing journey.
The Graysons moved west from Missouri to Northern California in 1846. Today we can fly across the nation in less than a day, but this family made their journey at a time when such trips took months. The Graysons traveled on horseback, in a wagon pulled by oxen, and on foot, crossing prairies, rivers, deserts, forests, and mountains. It was a difficult and dangerous trip that took six months.
The Graysons traveled with other families for most of the trip. In a letter, Andrew Grayson described many of the challenges he and his fellow travelers experienced.1 Members of their group, along with their horses and cattle, were wounded in fights with Indians. People died of illness and exhaustion. While crossing the hot and deep desert sands, they wondered if and when they would find water or food. At one point they spent three days using chains to haul their wagons up and over a mountain!
After their group reached the mountains near the end of their journey, snow had started to fall. The snow and cold made traveling very dangerous. The Graysons decided to go the rest of the way on their own. Andrew Grayson wrote that he put his wife and son on an old gray horse with blankets, buffalo robes (giant blankets made from buffalo fur and hide), camping utensils, and other items. He walked beside them through the mountain forest, which was dark and full of deer and other animals that he could hunt for food. He wrote about feeling lonely without their fellow travelers during this part of the trip. After several days they finally saw their destination in the distance. Grayson described the scene in his letter:
“. . . on the 12th day of October 1846 we beheld for the first time the . . . plains of California. Never had my eye rested upon so beautiful a scene. . . . The sun was getting low and we encamped here for the night, by a small running spring—and called it the happy camp ground.”2
The Graysons bought land after arriving in California, and he became a successful businessman. A few years after settling in the state, he asked the artist William S. Jewett to make this portrait of his family. Jewett was also a pioneer to California. Grayson gave the artist specific instructions about what their clothing should look like and other items to include. He had the artist visit the spot he wanted shown in the painting. Jewett made sketches there, and then he completed the painting in his San Francisco studio.
Analyze and Interpret
- What details from the story of the Graysons’ trip can you find in this painting?
- What phase of the Grayson’s trip does the painting show? Provide evidence for your ideas from the painting.
- The Graysons’ clothes were probably very dirty and worn after such a long and difficult trip. However, Andrew Grayson is painted wearing a clean white shirt and cravat (a type of tie). His wife wears an elegant gown, and his son wears an expensive robe with fur trim. These are not traveling clothes. Why do you think Grayson asked the artist to show them in such nice clothing?
- Why do you think the Graysons wanted a family portrait that referenced their difficult overland journey? How do you think Andrew Grayson felt about his family’s journey? What about the painting that makes you think that?
- What do you think Grayson wanted people who saw this painting to know about him and his family? Provide evidence from the painting for your answer.
- Like the Graysons, many people moved west to California in the mid-1800s. Are there clues in the painting that suggest why the Graysons and so many others wanted to go there?

The Communication Workers Union has thrown its support behind the SABC board and its suspension of SABC Group CEO, Solly Mokoetle. Speaking at a press briefing in Johannesburg, CWU deputy general secretary, Thabo Mogalane, said the suspension would allow the board to get to the bottom of the matter and bring stability to the troubled public broadcaster.
The union also criticized President Jacob Zuma’s visit to China and blamed the state for the death of innocent people because of what it dubbed, “the state’s reluctance in this wage agreement”.

BHENGU, Louisa et al. South African guidelines for the management of Gaucher disease, 2011. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2012, vol.102, n.8, pp.697-702. ISSN 2078-5135.
BACKGROUND: Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive lysosomal glycosphingolipid storage disorder resulting from a deficiency of lysosomal enzyme acid â-glucosidase (glucocerebrosidase). This partial enzyme deficiency results in accumulation of glycosphingolipid-laden macrophages (Gaucher cells) throughout the liver, spleen, bone marrow, skeleton, lungs and brain (only in types 2 and 3). OBJECTIVE: These guidelines aim to provide a standard of care for patients with Gaucher disease in keeping with international standards, but also realistic for South Africa, and to provide a shared-care model for treating physicians and funders regarding care for these patients. RECOMMENDATIONS: All healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and management of Gaucher disease should take note of and implement these guidelines in clinical practice as far as possible. VALIDATION: These guidelines were developed through consensus by the Lysosomal Storage Disorder Medical Advisory Board. They are largely based on the UK 2005 National Guidelines for Gaucher Disease, but include new treatment recommendations for enzyme replacement therapy based on subsequent publications. The Southern African Society for Human Genetics (SASHG) (who have endorsed the guidelines) and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of South Africa (NOFSA) provided valuable input. GUIDELINES SPONSOR: Genzyme initiated the project and sponsored the meetings of the Advisory Board and all costs generated by these meetings. CONCLUSION: It is intended that these guidelines will enable all patients suffering from Gaucher disease to be diagnosed and offered the best possible care available.

Australia plans to roll back “responsible lending” laws adopted in the wake of the financial crisis in an effort to spur an economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, officials said Friday, September 25.
The move sent banking stocks soaring, but drew sharp criticism from consumer groups and the opposition Labor Party.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said credit restrictions imposed on lenders in 2009 had stifled lending and was impeding efforts to recover from Australia’s first recession in nearly 30 years.
“As the nation strives to recover from COVID-19, the provision of and access to credit will be critical to rebuilding every sector of our economy, from hospitality to tourism, construction to retail,” he said in a statement.
The laws require lenders to take steps to determine if potential borrowers will be able to repay their loans in hopes of avoiding a repeat of the crisis sparked by the subprime mortgage meltdown in the US.
But Frydenberg said this “burden of regulation” had become an obstacle to economic growth.
“Across time, lenders have become increasingly risk averse and overly conservative. As a consequence, borrowers, irrespective of their financial circumstances, have faced an ever more intrusive, difficult, and drawn-out approval process,” he said.
“What started a decade ago as a principles-based framework to regulate the provision of consumer credit has evolved into an overly prescriptive, complex, costly, one-size-fits-all regime known as responsible lending obligations,” he said.
The conservative government’s move was welcomed by business groups and sent bank stocks sharply higher, with National Australia Bank and Westpac both up more than 6%, ANZ jumping more than 5%, and Commonwealth Bank up 3.4%.
A coalition of consumer groups however said the step would lead to a return of the banking misbehavior that was slammed by a Royal Commission of inquiry last year.
The “government’s proposed reforms will remove bank responsibility to customers, opening up new opportunities for banks to aggressively sell debt,” said a grouping of 4 consumer advocacy organizations.
“Watering down credit protections will leave individuals and families at severe risk of being pushed into credit arrangements that will hurt in the long term,” said Karen Cox, head of the Financial Rights Legal Centre, calling the decision to drop responsible lending rules “a shortsighted fix for a flailing economy.”
A spokesman for the Labor Party said the ditching of the lending regulations signaled that the government was backing away from promises to implement banking reforms recommended by the Royal Commission.
Those recommendations included a demand that the responsible lending laws be maintained.
“The government has form when it comes to going easy on the banks and loan sharks,” said Jim Chalmers, Labor’s shadow treasurer.
Australia’s banking industry, one of the world’s most profitable, was slammed by the Royal Commission for rampant malpractice that included charging fees to dead people, using overly aggressive sales tactics, and providing poor financial advice to clients.
All the banks have reported significant hits to profits as they reimburse hundreds of millions of dollars to wronged customers. – Rappler.com

Your lost love never came home after the war. Would you risk everything to find out what happened to him?
1944. While war rages in Europe, Fenella Churche is doing her bit in the green fields of England. But when she finds a letter addressed to her on the scrubbed farmhouse table, she knows the news won’t be good. She hasn’t heard from her fiancé Arthur since he was posted to France on a dangerous undercover mission, and from his very first words she knows he may not be coming back.
I fear this may be my last letter to you, my darling, Arthur writes. Fen won’t give up hope and calls the war office, wanting to know if Arthur is still alive; they refuse to tell her anything. Searching for answers, she returns to his letter, but parts of it just don’t make sense. Through her tears Fen realises that her darling Arthur is giving her all the clues she needs to find out what happened to him.
1945. With the war behind them and nothing left for her in England, Fen travels to the deceptively pretty French village where she thinks Arthur might be, but there’s no sign of him. She’s close to giving up when she finds his silver cigarette case and another letter full of clues. But when the local priest is killed, it’s clear someone wants to keep wartime secrets buried. If Arthur, a brilliant spy, was outwitted and betrayed, can Fen stay alive long enough to find out what happened to the man she loves?
A gripping story of war, mystery, espionage and murder. Fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Charles Todd and Rhys Bowen will absolutely adore this unputdownable World War Two murder mystery.
I really enjoyed this post-WW2 mystery, following Fen to rural France to discover what became of her fiance Arthur, and in the process solving a conspiracy and a string of terrible murders.
Fen is a likeable and engaging protagonist and the world building is simple but effective, bringing the vineyard and chateau to life.

What is the surest way to get a good harvest to tomatoes? Here’s a simple checklist to keep handy when growing tomatoes.
- Use seeds of a good variety. Use fresh seed.
- Plant tomatoes in loose, well-drained soil. But almost any garden soil will grow tomatoes.
- Sandy loam is best for early tomatoes.
- Heavy clay loam is ideal for late tomatoes.
- Amend the soil with aged compost or commercial organic planting mix before planting.
- Tomatoes prefer a soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0, just below neutral in acidity.
- Tomatoes require a minimum of 8 hours of continuous sunlight each day. More is better.
- Tomatoes need 3 to 4 months of warm, clear, fairly dry weather to produce best.
- Set 8 to 10-week old tomato seedlings in the garden two weeks after the last frost in spring. If transplanted sooner, tomatoes must be protected from cold temperatures with hot caps or plastic tunnels.
- Tomatoes need consistent night temperatures between 55°F and 75°F to set fruit. (A few varieties will set fruit at lower or higher temperatures.)
- Later in the season, the fruit will not color properly when night temperatures stay above 85°F, and plants will quit growing when temperatures go above 95°F.
Continuous Even Watering
- Keep the soil evenly moist–not too wet and not too dry. Too much water will drown the plants; too little water will stop fruit production.
- Test soil moisture by sticking your finger into the soil–if it comes out dry, it’s time to water; if it comes out wet, hold off.
- During periods of drought deep-water tomatoes once a week and slow soil moisture evaporation by mulching with aged compost or straw.
- A constant, even supply of water can prevent blossom end rot, but too much water will cause it.
- Prepare the tomato-growing bed with well-rotted garden compost and a trowelful of aged manure added to the soil where each plant will grow.
- Add a trowelful of bone meal into the bottom of each hole–the extra phosphorus will speed ripening.
- Too much nitrogen will give you abundant foliage but delay ripening.
- Sprinkle additional nitrogen around each plant when the top leaves turn yellow or the stem turns deep purple.
Protect Roots, Leaves, and Fruit
- Protect tomato plants from extremes of temperature–cold and hot, strong winds, weeds, pests, and diseases.
- Place tomatoes in the garden where they will be protected from drying winds.
- Protect plants from cutworms with a paper collar set in the soil at transplanting.
- Protect roots by adding aged compost around each plant; aged compost will feed roots and protect them from the hot summer sun.
- Examine plants often to be rid of tomato hornworms and other pests early.
- Avoid fungal and bacterial diseases by watering at the base of plants and rotating tomatoes to new beds each year.
- Where summer temperatures exceed 95°F, shade cloth protection will protect leaves and fruit.

What’s up fellow freaks and gym rats?
I had an interesting question come through an email to me several weeks back, and that person wanted to know my thoughts on marijuana and/or other recreational drugs for the intention of recovery aids for bodybuilding. I thought that this was a good topic to address since there are so many people using recovery aids for the gym, and also so many people that are curious about it.
I also thought that while I was on the topic, what better time to talk about oral steroids and my own experience with oral versus injectable steroid compounds.

Many may think that the best temples in Japan only exist in Kyoto, famous for 金閣寺(Kinkakuji) and 銀閣寺(Ginkakuji), but there’s another great spot in Eastern Japan that holds one of the most beautiful historic monuments: Kamakura. With its beautiful shrines, temples, and the Great Buddha, the city has numerous attractions that’ll keep you busy for many days to come.
However, that’s not only it.
The city even has a popular beach that attracts many surfers from the whole nation, called the 由比ヶ浜(Yuigahama), creating an exciting atmosphere running throughout the city. I’ve taken my time to learn the best parts of it, so let me introduce what you shouldn’t miss!
Historically, Japan had numerous military governments, that held a separate identity from the regular imperial government, called the Bakufu. Kamakura was the birthplace of this type of system, with the beginning of the Kamakura Bakufu, becoming the political capital in the 12th century. The warrior who created this military government was Minamoto no Yoritomo, who was appointed as shogun (a Japanese warlord) in 1192. Kamakura’s government held reign over Japan for more than a century, being succeeded by the Hojo regents midway, until the party moved to Kyoto in the 14th century.
During the reign of Kamakura, the city saw many beautiful temples and monuments being built, most correlated with the religion that was predominantly respected at the period.
Let’s take a look at where I’ve visited, and the spots I’d like to recommend for you!
Hokokuji Temple （報国寺）
Also known as Takedara, Hokokuji was founded in the earlier periods of Muromachi’s control, and was a small family temple of the Ashikaga Clan at the time. From the temples I’ve visited in Japan, this was one of my favorites, as it had a very distinct feature of its own, the bamboo trees that surround its vicinity around the temple. It was a beauty that wouldn’t be able to be expressed by words, but I hope the photo above is enough to make my point. The temple also offers freshly made traditional green tea to drink inside, so be sure to have some when you visit!
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine （鶴岡八幡宮）
Considered to be one of the most important Shinto shrines in Japan, this is another popular spot to visit while you’re in town. This was dedicated to the patron god of the Minamoto family, hence becoming one of the most valuable sites in Kamakura. Being very large with wide spaces, I recommend you go there and take your time to check out the smaller spaces in between popular sites, as you may find very interesting historical sites that many miss out!
Komachi Street （小町通り）
The Main Street that Kamakura is most famous for, the Komachi Street would be a gourmet’s favorite. Along with Japanese cultural products such as the Fuurin from the photo above, it offers a diverse range of Japanese cuisine and sweets such as the Omochis and traditional Wagashis.
Yuigahama Beach （由比ヶ浜）
The city is beautiful with its vast amount of nature spreading through the city, but it also has another face: the Yuigahama Beach. Inviting many surfers visiting to enjoy the fresh waves, Kamakura is famous for the spacious seaside during the summer. That is what’s very fascinating about the town, it has something for everyone!
Lunch of the Day
Good Mellows Kamakura
A lunch in the seaside always has to be a hamburger! Good Mellows in Kamakura is often considered to be one of the best in the area, with the restaurant having a ‘summer-house’ feel to it with the outdoor terrace allowing you to feel the breeze and listen to the waves. If you’re contemplating where to eat, this will be a great choice!
Ready to Visit?
I hope I was able to make you interested in visiting this beautiful city. I forgot to mention, it’s only 1 hour from central Tokyo by train, so there’s no reason you should make that your excuse! With the combination of history and beach, Kamakura is a must visit in your Japan travel checklist.

Maruti Suzuki will reportedly introduce the 1.5-litre BSVI compliant diesel engine in the new XL6 MPV around January 2022
According to a recent report that emerged on the internet, Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) will soon be ready with a 1.5-litre diesel engine for the Ertiga MPV, its more premium sibling XL6, Ciaz mid-size sedan and Vitara Brezza compact SUV. It must be noted that the largest carmaker in the country does not have any oil-burner in its lineup currently.
This was due to the discontinuation of the 1.3-litre four-cylinder DDiS diesel unit ahead of BSVI emission standards that came into effect in April 2020. In the last couple of years, companies like Hyundai and Kia have really come up strong in this regard courtesy of their BSVI diesel engines mainly in the compact and mid-size SUV segments.
While the penetration of petrol engines has increased across different segments pertaining to different price brackets, the preference of diesel powertrains over their petrol counterparts does exist mainly in the popular SUV segments and it looks like Maruti Suzuki does not want to miss out on the opportunity despite its dominance in the entry-level space.
Citing sources, the report said the Indo-Japanese manufacturer is working on this 1.5-litre diesel mill for more than 12 months at its facility in Manesar, Haryana. The sources explained that the BSVI diesel motor might be employed onto the new XL6 coming out around January 2022 and subsequently its reach could be expanded to other models including the Vitara Brezza and Ertiga.
The sub-four-metre SUV definitely has a disadvantage compared to its rivals such as Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet, which are offered with three powertrains. The five-seater was only offered with a 1.3-litre DDiS 200 diesel for nearly four years before the facelifted model arrived early last year with the 1.5-litre K15B mild-hybrid petrol engine with manual and AT options.
The diesel-powered Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza is expected to debut at the 2022 Auto Expo next February. The Ciaz will also reportedly get the same engine and previously the sedan was fitted with a 1.5-litre diesel unit as well. The oil-burner will also be supplied to the rebadged Toyota models as per the report.

I have 5 birdesmaids and a flower girl in my wedding. The colours of my bridesmaids dresses will be fuschia and tangarine. I wanted to go for dresses that have a lot of movement and flow factor. I will be using silk satin with chiffon overlay for the material of the dresses. Since I will be getting a dressmaker to make the dresses I can't share the finished product until much closer to my wedding day. However, these are the silhouettes that I will be using for the dresses:
Maid of Honour Dress in fuschia: One shoulder look with beading at the waist
Two bridesmaids will wear this silhouette with the straps and empire waist with beading in tangarine
Two Bridesmaids will wear this silhouette. Strapless with beaded empire waist in tangarine.
Flower Girl: Still deciding exactly what I want for her, but I love this idea.
I don't typically wear a lot of makeup, nor am I cosmetically inclined so while I want to look more facially glamorous than I normally do, I don't want to look unrecognizable to my hubby to be either. I don't know exactly what I want to do yet, but these are two makeup looks I'm considering:
My hair is naturally curly and it took me a number of years to appreciate my natural hair texture. Now that I have learned to love what is uniquely a part of me I want to showcase it on my wedding day by opting for an updo that features my textured tresses. I'm thinking of going for a chic textured chignon. Luckily I was a able to find a picture of a model who has a similar hair texutre to mine and who is wearing her hair in the style I want:
These are some other styles I considered:
I love orchids so the main flower featured will be the orchid in my theme colours of fuschia and tangarine/orange.
We will be getting married in Vaughn's home town of Nassau in The Bahamas. Since I will be moving to England in the next month or two it was important that we used this past summer to finalize a number of things the main thing being our venue. In August, 2010, my best friend, my mom and I flew down to The Bahamas to meet my fiance to go pick out our Venue. We were only there for a week, so we wasted no time getting down to business. It took us almost the entire week, but with 3 days left to spare we finally found our wonderful Venue.
The wedding will take place on October 8, 2011 at Old Fort Bay Club. The grounds are beautiful and lush and the Club itself is based in an old colonial style mansion with beautiful views of the beach. It's everything we wanted. We will be having our ceremony on the beach and our reception on the upstairs outdoor terrace. The great thing about this venue is that they have indoor options for both cremony and reception in case it rains.
Here are some pic's of the actual location. The entrance to Old Fort Bay, the beach where we'll have the ceremony and the lounge area where we'll have the cocktail hour.
In keeping with the Island and beach back drop to our wedding, I decided that I wanted the colours to be bright and vibrant. My theme colours are fuschia and tangarine/burnt orange with hints of teal as the accent colour.
Although Vaughn leaving for London was a very sad time I was also excited for him to have this opportunity to build his career in Europe. I was also looking forward to visiting him that Christmas, Dec., 2009. It was my first trip to Europe and I couldn't wait for the experience. I was having a great time taking in all London had to offer and visiting some of my extended family who live there. I couldn't have asked for a better vacation! Things only got better when on Dec, 28, 2009 Vaughn popped the question. He planned a very romantic evening in, making us dinner, lighting candles and buying me flowers. Before we ate he said he had something to tell me and he got down on one knee and proposed. It was a very special and emotional night for us. After all of our long distance challenges it was so wonderful to celebrate another step to being together permanently!
Needless to say that I am no longer only planning a wedding I'm also planning to move my life from Canada to England. Although I feel a little overwhelmed I'm also looking forward to these exciting new life changes. Vaughn and I have waited a long time to get to this point!
Visit to London, England - Dec, 2009

Sony came out all guns blazing at their E3 2013 press conference for their new PlayStation 4 console last night, delivering a crowd-pleasing look at their next-generation machine.
First, up, the long-awaited unveiling of the machine itself. Another black box more close in design style to the PlayStation 2 than PlayStation 3, the PS4 has an angular, slanted form that can sit horizontally or vertically, with sizeable openings on one side for ventilation. As well as the already-unveiled DualShock 4 controller, the company also showed off the console’s new camera accessory. Both the camera and the console are slightly smaller than their Xbox One counterparts.
Scroll down for more images of the PlayStation 4 hardware.
Sony also took the time to solidify their stance on the used game market, and game ownership in general.
“We believe in the model that people embrace today with PlayStation 3 and will continue to demand,” said Sony exec Jack Tretton, before revealing that the console will have no new used game or game lending restrictions beyond what is already in place on the PlayStation 3, something that could be a massive selling point considering Microsoft’s very rigid stance on the matter. Likewise, the PlayStation 4 will not require internet authentication in order to play single player games.
Sony have the Xbox One trumped on price too. Whereas Microsoft’s console will cost £429 in the UK, Sony’s machine will be £80 cheaper at £349.
It’s set set to launch “in the holiday period”. With Microsoft’s machine pinned down most likely for an early November launch, it will now be massively important who can get a headstart and hit shops first, courting consumer’s cash first.
All in though, Sony seemed to tick every box at E3 with what gamers wanted to hear. Good job.

The Other 93%
The SEO war rages on for Merchant Cash Advance providers, ISOs, micro lenders, and other financing firms, but just how much real estate is everyone really fighting over? According to data recently provided in The Green Sheet by First Annapolis Consulting, only 7% of all merchant account leads are generated via the Internet. So if your business plan’s success hinges on getting to page 1 of Google search, you might be shutting yourself out from nearly the entire marketplace. Don’t get us wrong, there’s a lot of money to be made and business to be acquired via the Internet, but even the big firms get roughed up from time to time by competition, new algorithms, and SEO companies that promise the world but deliver few results.
So if not the Internet, then what else is there besides cold calling? That’s a question that tons of small ISOs ask themselves when they realize that competing online isn’t easy. It just so happens that the “what else” comprises of 85% of all generated leads in the payments industry. More than 50% are derived from bank referrals and associations alone.
Has anyone ever wondered why companies like AdvanceMe (Capital Access Network) are still number one in the Merchant Cash Advance arena? They’ve managed to defy Darwin’s theory of evolution. In every industry, there is a pioneer that leads the way, gets too comfortable, stops innovating, and is systematically made irrelevant by fresh thinking competition. There was MySpace until there was Facebook. There was Yahoo until there was Google. There was AOL until…there was just everything else.
So one would expect that in 2012, the mere mention of AdvanceMe would be part of a requiem for the founding fathers of the Merchant Cash Advance industry. That isn’t the case and is quite the opposite considering they are on pace to fund at least $700 million this year. So they must be #1 on Google, right? Nope. For all of the main keywords that people are fighting over, they rarely if ever, even show up on the first page of the results.
Chances are a lot of their clients never even bothered to search online for financing, or if they did, it was just to get a second opinion. Once they saw that full page advertisement in the merchant account statement their processor mails them every month, they probably just called the phone number listed on there, went through the steps, and got funded. AdvanceMe and other players have some pretty badass referral connections.
All the sales pitches in the world about lower rates and free POS systems aren’t going to compete with a merchant who has just been given a referral by a company they already have a relationship with. Hell, even you have probably enlisted an insurance company, wedding vendor, or mortgage broker because someone you trusted said they were great.
This isn’t another lecture about how referrals are crazy good and that cold calling is wicked bad, especially since we don’t even necessarily feel that way. The point is really to highlight just how much more potential there is out there for small funders and ISOs. You can actually be successful with a sucky website and no SEO if you can just solidify some key relationships.
If you want to be around 14 years later, you can’t ignore the other 93% of the market. The volume of Internet leads will probably increase in the future as more computer savvy people become small business owners. But it’s way too easy to set up a website, hire an SEO guy, and throw money at Pay-Per-Click. Anyone can do it and everyone is doing it. That means most companies are losing the battle and tons of you are saying “what else is there?” Fortunately, the lead generation pie chart offers unlimited hope. You just need to think bigger and try harder.
If the other categories seem too ambitious, well then you’ll never make it in this biz kid…Last modified: April 20, 2019

Each day, the Massachusetts Daily Collegian sports blog will break down each position on the UMass football roster from now until the regular season. Check in tomorrow for a look at the defensive backs. UMass defensive linemen were highlighted yesterday.
Key Returners: Kassan Messiah (SO), Stanley Andre (RS JR), Ed Saint-Vil (RS JR), Tom Brandt (RS SR), Jovan Santos-Knox (SO), John Robinson-Woodgett (SO), Michael McKenna (RS SO)
Key Losses: Perry McIntyre (Graduation), D.J Adeoba (Graduation)
Promising Newcomers: Shane Huber (FR), Peter Ngobidi (FR), Steve Casali (FR), Vondell Langston (RS FR), Andrew Ellis (FR)
There are some big shoes to fill in the middle of Charley Molnar’s defense.
A season ago, All-MAC First Team middle linebacker Perry McIntyre amassed 132 total tackles to go along with three sacks as he led the Minutemen defense. Now, a host of young linebackers will be counted upon to fill the void.
Among them is Stanley Andre, a recently reclassified redshirt junior. Andre’s a former middle linebacker who converted to defensive line in 2012, making 41 tackles in his first season as a defensive lineman. Now, the versatile linebacker is back at his natural position and gets the first crack at replacing McIntyre.
Kassan Messiah also returns in 2013, bringing an intriguing skill-set as a high-impact edge rusher and versatile defender capable of playing in multiple packages. Messiah, who is considered by some teammates to be the hardest hitter on the team, is the leading returning tackler from a season ago with 65.
One of the strongest aspects of the linebackers this year will be the group’s overall depth, which will provide defensive coordinator Phil Elmassian multiple combinations to test prior to the season opener at Wisconsin. Jovan Santos-Knox will look to build upon a promising freshman season which saw the outside linebacker start eight games. Santos-Knox showed signs of developing into a solid all-around linebacker recording 32 tackles a season ago, including four for a loss. He also showed ability defending the pass, breaking up a pair of passes.
Ed Saint-Vil will also battle for starting time at outside linebacker. Saint-Vil, listed as a defensive back, has the ability to play up in the box and could be utilized as an effective linebacker against passing heavy schemes.
Both John Robinson-Woodgett and Tim Brandt recorded tackles in limited playing time a season ago and may again be asked to contribute on special teams.
Freshman Shane Huber and Steve Casali have both turned heads in limited opportunity in camp, making strides in a crowded stable of linebackers. Peter Ngobidi has also performed well early, rounding out the trio of notable recruits at linebacker.

President Obama vowed Tuesday not to scale back his health care, education, or environmental initiatives during debate on the fiscal 2010 budget, despite the prospect of higher deficits and wariness in Congress.
Following a private White House meeting with Senate Budget Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D., and House Budget Chairman John M. Spratt Jr. , D-S.C., Obama renewed his push to get Congress to adopt a budget resolution that would make room for his priorities. He said that his expansive budget is necessary to provide “an economic blueprint for the future.”
Obama said, “With the magnitude of the challenges we face right now, what we need in Washington are not more political tactics — we need more good ideas. We don’t need more point-scoring — we need more problem-solving.”
And he thinks that turning America into France is a good idea? For more on this, read the Heritage Foundation’s Brian Riedl’s overview of Obama’s plan here.

The Chinese government is taking draconian measures to slash birth rates among Uighurs and other minorities as part of a sweeping campaign to curb its Muslim population, even as it encourages some of the country’s Han majority to have more children.
While individual women have spoken out before about forced birth control, the practice is far more widespread and systematic than previously known, according to an AP investigation based on government statistics, state documents and interviews with 30 ex-detainees, family members and a former detention camp instructor.
The campaign over the past four years in the far west region of Xinjiang is leading to what some experts are calling a form of “demographic genocide”.
The state regularly subjects minority women to pregnancy checks, and forces intrauterine devices, sterilisation and even abortion on hundreds of thousands, the interviews and data show.
Even while the use of IUDs and sterilisation has fallen nationwide, it is rising sharply in Xinjiang.
The population control measures are backed by mass detention both as a threat and as a punishment for failure to comply.
Having too many children is a major reason people are sent to detention camps, the AP found, with the parents of three or more ripped away from their families unless they can pay huge fines.
Police raid homes, terrifying parents as they search for hidden children.
Fifteen Uighurs and Kazakhs told the AP they knew people interned or jailed for having too many children. Many received years, even decades in prison.
Once in the detention camps, women are subjected to forced IUDs and what appear to be pregnancy prevention shots, interviews and data show.
One former detainee, Tursunay Ziyawudun, said she was injected until she stopped having her period and kicked repeatedly in the lower stomach during interrogations. She now can’t have children and often doubles over in pain, bleeding from her womb, she said. Ziyawudun said women at her camp were made to undergo gynecology exams and get IUDs, and their “teacher” told them they would face abortions if found pregnant.
In 2014, just over 200,000 IUDs were inserted in Xinjiang. By 2018, that jumped more than 60 percent to nearly 330,000 IUDs. At the same time, IUD use fell sharply elsewhere in China, as many women began getting the devices removed.
Birth rates in the mostly Uighur regions of Hotan and Kashgar plunged by more than 60% from 2015 to 2018, the latest year available in government statistics.
Across the Xinjiang region, birth rates continue to plummet, falling nearly 24% last year alone, compared to just 4.2% nationwide, statistics show.

Biography of Prendergast, James-E.-P. (James-Emile-Pierre), 1858-1945
James-Émile-Pierre Prendergast was born in Quebec in 1858. He studied law and was called to the Quebec bar in 1881. One year later, he settled in Manitoba where he became an attorney. In 1885, he was a defence counsel at Louis Riel’s trial. Active on Manitoba’s political scene, he served as an MLA from 1885 to 1897. He was also twice elected mayor of St. Boniface. He was Provincial Secretary from 1888 to 1889 under the Greenway administration, but resigned from Cabinet because he did not share the views of the Liberal Party on the Manitoba schools question. In 1897, he was named judge for the Winnipeg County Court, and later received a number of other judicial appointments in Manitoba, the North-West Territories and Saskatchewan. He became Chief Justice of Manitoba in 1930. Prendergast was also the founding president of l’Association d’Éducation des Canadiens français du Manitoba (1916) and held several other prominent positions in national and educational institutions and organizations. He co-edited Le Manitoba with A.-A. C. Larivière. Prendergast retired in 1944 and passed away the following year. Based on information from La Société historique de Saint-Boniface.

The discovery resulted from an ongoing project led by researchers at Northern Arizona University using the Spitzer Space Telescope. Through a lot of focused attention and a little bit of luck, they found evidence of cometary activity that had evaded detection for three decades.
Don Quixote’s coma and tail (left) as seen in infrared light by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. After image processing (right), the tail is more apparent. Image courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech/DLR/NAU
“Its orbit resembled that of a comet, so people assumed it was a comet that had gotten rid of all its ice deposits,” said Michael Mommert, a post-doctoral researcher at NAU who was a Ph.D. student of professor Alan Harris at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Berlin at the time the work was carried out.
What Mommert and an international team of researchers discovered, though, was that Don Quixote was not actually a dead comet—one that had shed the carbon dioxide and water that give comets their spectacular tails.
Instead, the third-biggest near-Earth asteroid out there, skirting Earth with an erratic, extended orbit, is “sopping wet,” said NAU associate professor David Trilling. The implications have less to do with potential impact, which is extremely unlikely in this case, and more with “the origins of water on Earth,” Trilling said. Comets may be the source of at least some of it, and the amount on Don Quixote represents about 100 billion tons of water—roughly the same amount found in Lake Tahoe.
Mommert said it’s surprising that Don Quixote hasn’t been depleted of all of its water, especially since researchers assumed that it had done so thousands of years ago. But finding evidence of CO2, and presumably water, wasn’t easy.
During an observation of the object using Spitzer in August 2009, Mommert and Trilling found that it was far brighter than they expected. “The images were not as clean as we would like, so we set them aside,” Trilling said.
Much later, though, Mommert prompted a closer look, and partners at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics found something unusual when comparing infrared images of the object: something, that is, where an asteroid should have shown nothing. The “extended emission,” Mommert said, indicated that Don Quixote had a coma—a comet’s visible atmosphere—and a faint tail.
Mommert said this discovery implies that carbon dioxide and water ice also might be present on other near-Earth objects.
This study confirmed Don Quixote’s size and the low, comet-like reflectivity of its surface. Mommert is presenting the research team’s findings this week at the European Planetary Space Conference in London.

In a case which shocked Austria, Martina R. shot and killed her mother, brother and her three young children in the family's home in Böheimkirchen in Lower Austria. Days later she lay down beside her dead mother and shot herself, the police investigation revealed.
Detectives say that she probably shot her children (ten-year-old Sebastian, nine-year-old Fabian and seven-year-old Michelle) whilst they slept. Her mother (59) had recently been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which police believe may have driven Martina to despair.
Now the children’s father, 37-year-old Andreas, has spoken to the Kurier newspaper about his ex-wife’s attempts to control the children and cut him out of their lives.
Andreas met Martina in Vienna in 2005, when she was working at a care centre for children, but still living with her mother and brother in a house in Lower Austria. She quickly became pregnant, and he said that in the beginning “everything was very harmonious”. However, he said that after their eldest son was born Martina became very controlling and made him break off all contact with his parents – saying that they took up too much of his time. “For her, only her family counted and anyone not in that circle was unimportant,” he said.
Martina refused to live in her husband’s flat in Vienna, and insisted in moving in with her mother and brother in their home in Kirchstetten. Andreas would visit her at the weekends. He said Martina wouldn’t allow their children to play with other children at the local playground, and that as soon as anyone else came to the park she took the children back home. “If anyone rang the doorbell she would ignore it and refuse to open the door,” he told the Kurier.
Neighbours also told police that the family kept to themselves and were very quiet, and that even the children didn’t socialise with friends at home.
Martina and Andreas were already living apart before the birth of their daughter and she would only allow him to visit the children once a month, and would hardly speak to him. He said that when Michelle was born Martina would only allow him to visit when the boys weren’t there, and after that she no longer allowed him to see the children at all. She later told a judge that Andreas was violent, citing an incident when one of the boys had injured his hand when he was playing at home with his dad.
In 2010 the couple agreed to divorce. Andreas said he was very depressed by the situation and had to receive psychiatric treatment in hospital. Martina prepared the divorce papers and he signed them without consulting a lawyer, realising later that he had given up all visitation rights to his children.
A year later, with the help of his parents he went back to court to fight for visitation rights and in 2013 was granted to right to see his children under supervision. However, between 2014 and 2016 he only saw his children four times as Martina kept cancelling the planned sessions.
In a report, a court psychologist said that Martina influenced her children to have negative feelings about their father and would tell them not to play with him when he visited. However, when a psychologist observed the children with their father she recorded that all the children were happy to see him and said they wanted to see him again.
Andreas told the Kurier that he still can’t understand why Martina killed her entire family – and that contrary to some newspaper reports he doesn’t believe she had money problems. “I gave her €1,500 a month in alimony payments. Her mother received a pension and her brother had a good job – maybe she just couldn’t cope when she found out about her mother’s cancer.”
He said that he feels desperately sad and is full of anger for Martina. “The children were defenceless. I just hope they did not feel anything. Hopefully, they were sound asleep.”
Andreas decided to speak to the Kurier after reports that Martina and he were involved in a bitter custody dispute – which may have contributed to her mental state before the killings. However, for the sake of the children he had written a letter to the court and Martina saying he would not insist on further meetings until the situation had calmed down. By the time his letter arrived the children were already dead.
A report in the Krone tabloid newspaper says that Martina may have invited a lover over to her house after she had killed her family – and hidden their bodies in one room of the large house. However, police say that if a man was in the house he had nothing to do with the murders and had no idea what Martina had done.

Washington's Holocaust Museum is taking down a display on a man once called the "Italian Schindler" for reportedly helping rescue thousands of Jews: It seems Giovanni Palatucci, whose legacy prompted Pope John Paul II dub him a martyr, may actually have worked with the Nazis in sending Jews to Auschwitz. The revelation comes after researchers pored through some 700 documents at New York's Center for Jewish Studies, which holds that he was "a willing executor of the racial legislation" who, "after taking the oath to Mussolini’s Social Republic, collaborated with the Nazis."
The heroic story goes that as police chief in the Italian city of Fiume, Palatucci destroyed documents in an effort to keep the Germans from sending Jews to concentration camps, the New York Times reports. In the end, he died in a camp at Dachau. Now, however, researchers say the documents weren't destroyed; they've seen the papers, and they suggest that 80% of the city's 500 Jews were in fact sent to Auschwitz. That's the highest percentage of any Italian city. And Palatucci wasn't police chief; he was in charge of executing racial laws. Finally, he ended up in Dachau over accusations of embezzlement and treason—not for rescuing people, the experts say. The Times of Israel has extensive details on scholars' findings.

IVA Help Service has been designed to provide all the information people could need to secure an individual voluntary agreement to pay off a fixed amount of their debt and underwrite the rest.
IVA Help Service is a new online resource that explains this process in detail.— The current financial downturn has been ongoing for almost seven years, and was caused by banks and loan companies extending lines of credit to people beyond their capacity to repay them. This practice has been so rife that many people have had to declare bankruptcy, or foreclose on their mortgages and have their homes repossessed. In an attempt to create a fairer solution to the problem, government legislation has asked companies and borrowers to share responsibility. The
An IVA, or Individual Voluntary Agreement, is a legally binding agreement between a debtor and his or her creditors to pay back an agreed portion of their debt over a set period, with the remainder of the debt being wiped off. The IVA Help Service explains how this is possible in detail, as well as providing advice and guidance on eligibility and application.
The new site (http://ivahelpservice.co.uk/) also describes the precedent for the government legislation and the rights that those in debt are able to defend in seeking such an agreement, being entitled to be treated in a reasonable and humane way. All the information on the website is written in easy to understand plain English, explaining practical steps to be taken so individuals can move immediately toward a life without debt.
A spokesperson for IVA Help Service explained, “We are delighted to launch this site and are very hopeful for its future, and perhaps paradoxically look forward to the day when it is no longer needed. Right now, there are people everywhere struggling with debt that has spiralled out of control, and an Individual Voluntary Agreement can help them bring their financial future back from the brink. Our website helps people understand how this is possible, and what first steps to take to achieve it.”
About IVA Help Service: The IVA Help Service is a newly launched online resource centre containing facts, information, advice and guidance on securing an individual voluntary agreement to consolidate and underwrite debt as supported by current government legislation. The site is written in jargon free plain English so that everyone can take active steps to relieving their burden of debt.

MARMARA DENİZİ GÜNEYİ (KOCASU DELTASI) SEDİMENTLERİNDE AĞIR METAL KİRLİLİĞİNİN ARAŞTIRILMASI
xmlui.mirage2.itemSummaryView.MetaDataShow full item record
In order to investigate the heavy metal accumulation and its spatial distribution, the extent of the pollution and possible sources, 2 gravity cores of about 140 cm in length and 20 surface sediments from different depths taken in the Kocasu Delta located to the south of the Sea of Marmara with a research vessel named Selen belongs to the MTA General Directorate. In this context, grain size, organic carbon, total carbonate analyses, geochemical analyses (Fe, Zr, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, As, V, Sb) carried out on a totally of 74 sediment samples and the concentration values obtained have been evaluated according to depth and grain size, the relations between elements and other parameters have been investigated with some statistical methods. The mean shale metal concentration values were accepted as background values in the determination of possible metal pollution sizes in the sediment samples and the enrichment factor (EF), geo-accumulation index (Igeo), contamination factor (Cf) and pollution load index (PLI) have been calculated for the pollution assessment of metals, respectively. According to the results of geochemical analysis, the mean concentrations of metals other than Cr, Ni and Pb elements were found to be below the world average shale values. The results of the mean enrichment factor (EF) and the pollution factor (Cf), especially the Cr, Ni and Pb metals, indicated that the enrichment/contamination was "low and/or moderate" when the elements were evaluated separately. The results of the average geo-accumulation index (Igeo) showed that core and surface sediments were of "low contamination" class for Cr, Ni and Pb metals. According to the PLI results obtained at each sampling station, when an assessment is made for the whole of the metals in question, it has been determined that the work area in general is not polluted. According to the results obtained, the mean accumulation levels of heavy metals in the study area have been determined as Ni>Pb> Cr>Zn>Sb>Fe>V>Mn>Cu>Zr>As>Cd. The enrichment of metals such as Cr, Ni and Pb in the study area of the Marmara Sea, it is known that the influence of the presence of various metal ores and mafic, ultramafic and granitic rocks with high baseline (background) values in the southern drainage basin of the Marmara Sea. Along with that, many industrial untreated wastewater discharges with different characteristics, domestic wastewater, solid waste and livestock manure storage areas, fertilizers and pesticides used in agricultural activities, and mining activities that are the main source of point pollution in the basin. All resources mentioned above have been seen as a possible source of Cr, Ni and Pb elements that provide “low to moderate” enrichment/contamination in this study.


Steve James just picked up the Cinema Eye Honors for best directing and feature documentary, as well as a nomination for the DGA Awards, the latest amongst a run of other prizes for his most recent film, The Interrupters. I spoke with the legendary director, best known for his seminal 1994 documentary Hoop Dreams, in Chicago. Part 2 of the interview is here.
The Interrupters follows three “violence interrupters” in the Chicago area over the course of one year. Beginning in the summer, we meet Cobe Williams, Ameena Matthews and Eddie Bocanegra, who work for the non-profit CeaseFire, the brainchild of epidemiologist Gary Slutkin.
All three have direct experience on the streets. Cobe, whose father was murdered when he was twelve years old, spent many years in and out of prison. Ammena, who is Chicago gang leader Jeff Fort’s daughter, was once a drug ring enforcer. Eddie is haunted by a murder he committed when he was seventeen.
The idea for the film began with a New York Times article about CeaseFire, written by author Alex Kotlowitz, a close friend of James and a producer on the film. “Alex is a terrific writer. The article is very in-depth,” James says now. “It’s different to the film but shares some similarities. He spent time with the interrupters out in the streets to try and get a feel for the work they did; who they were as well as a more journalistic treatment of CeaseFire and the philosophy.
“It was a great jumping off point but I think we both realised we wanted it to be as immersive an experience as possible for the audience. We wanted to put in the time to help you feel what it’s like to live in neighbourhoods like these. I think that’s something a film can do more easily than even an in-depth article or a book. A film can give the viewer a visceral, immersive experience that’s hard to do on the written page. That’s really the kind of film this is. It’s not a film that engages in a lot of overt analysis. I like to think that the film is informed by an understanding of history and politics that make these communities the way they are. But it’s really a film that’s about the work being done on the street, on the ground level by people who are trying to do something about it. Day in and day out.”
At the core of this immersive documentary is intimate access to the violence interrupters and the people with whom they work. I ask James about the process of gaining both access and trust.
A film can give the viewer a visceral, immersive experience that’s hard to do on the written page.“It can vary from person to person as to how that happens. Sometimes it’s an incremental thing. Sometimes there’s a level of trust that you think is there and you realise down the road it’s gotten a lot stronger. It happens as you get to know people. For instance Cobe was enthusiastic about being part of the film from the start. We started by filming around the table at weekly meetings, to familiarise ourselves with everyone and get them familiar with us.
“There were a couple of people we targeted as people we wanted to follow but we were open minded about who we would end up following because we didn’t know who would end up taking to this. Cobe had this incredible knack for getting us into difficult situations. When we first went out with him, even though he was enthusiastic, he tended to act differently with us out in the street than he would have normally. At a certain point we said to him: You’re talking to people as if you’re interviewing them instead of being you.
“It took him a while to get to a level of comfort where he was really just being himself. That was essential to getting people in the neighbourhood to look at us in a trusting way. If he’s acting funny around us, then they think there is something wrong. We spent a lot of time with Cobe in the car, just driving around the neighbourhood of Englewood [the location of the CeaseFire office]. That was his way of working. We spent a lot of time with him and it gradually got more and more comfortable for him and for us.
“With Ameena it was interesting. She didn’t tell us this but it was clear. She really didn’t want to participate in this project at first. She felt that if she got us out on a mediation and gave us a substantial interview she would be done. She’s been interviewed by news media before and that was all they needed. She didn’t quite grasp the concept of what we were trying to do.
“She was also a very private person. It took a while to get her to first even understand how comprehensive what we were trying to do was; the depth we were trying to reach. Not only with her portrayal but of the work she does. It helped to at some point to give her some of my past films. She did a weekend marathon binge where she watched three or four of them. Afterwards when I talked to her she said she understood more fully what we were trying to do. I think the subject matter of some of my previous films resonated with her. She saw that I’m not out doing celebrity profiles and covering topical events.
“The kinds of films I tend to do are about disenfranchised people. People on the margins. I think that resonated with her because that’s exactly who she was like and the kind of people she deal with. For the longest time, even after she was fully on-board, she didn’t tell us where she lived in the city. She didn’t know if she wanted to have us in her home. That was another barrier of privacy. At a certain point, we got to that place. We were able to interview her in her home. At that point really all the remaining barriers were down.”

CAN A HIGH PROTEIN DIET PROTECT AGAINST STROKE
Diet which is rich in protein is effective in reducing the risk of strokes particularly if you consume protein of lean animal like fish it really prevents your body from stroke. Research shows that people who had consume healthy protein diet were approximately about 20% less chance to suffer from stroke and those not having protein rich diet are always be in danger of stroke. If you take some additional amount of protein in your diet it directly affect the chances of stroke. Diet high in animal protein is helps in reducing chances of strokes and it is much more effective then diet of having vegetable proteins. Every 20% consumption of animal protein in your diet can reduce about 26% of chances of stroke. Experts explained about how beneficial animal protein diet as if people maintain a proper healthy protein diet then research shows that about 1.4 million less deaths happen world-wide because of strokes. But it does not means that you are going to eat food articles like red meat and burgers .It is because many animals are contain high level of fats also with protein which also can enhance the danger of strokes.
- Many reaches has proved that where people eat meat of lean animal like fish then of red meat the chances of strokes are less than of people love to eat red meat. Latest review of some previous research which follows why animal protein is far better than of vegetable protein. Because of amino acid which is present in animal protein is makes this protein a complete source which is beneficial for human beings while this is not present in that much amount in vegetable protein and they also comes with some amount of saturated fat which cause strokes.
- Poor diet also a one of the major cause of strokes. And diet which having food articles having high amounts of fat also causes problems of strokes they build up a fatty plaques in your arteries that sometime causes atherosclerosis and other problem like obesity as well
- One of the major reason why animal protein consider as complete’ because unlikely like vegetable proteins animals protein is rich source of amino acid which makes it complete. And other sources which provide you essential proteins are in complete because they won’t have amino acid in themselves and other thing which makes vegetable protein incomplete is saturated fat what they contain with themselves. Like smoking and drinking saturated fat is also a reason behind danger of strokes.
- When researchers examine seven type of diet in which total participants are over 2.5 lakh of an average age of 14 years find that those use to ate animal protein diet are more easily prevents from strokes then those eat other food articles. That is why researchers always suggest replacing your diet from red meat to fish which is more beneficial for your health.
High proteins are beneficial in reducing chances of strokes but still doctors are not sure why exactly protein is so helpful in reducing strokes. It might because of it protect against hardening of arteries, blood pressure and diabetes all which are become a factor for strokes. So at last we come to this conclusion that it is good to eat high protein diet because it reduce the chances of strokes but it does not means you just eat any protein rich diet like red meat, vegetable proteins which also have lack of amino acid as well as having saturated fats which lead you to risk of strokes .Go for animal protein diet like fish is rich source of amino acid and helps you in preventing your body from strokes.

Neo-Marxism is a loose term for various twentieth-century approaches that amend or extend Marxism and Marxist theory, usually by incorporating elements from other intellectual traditions, such as: critical theory, psychoanalysis or Existentialism (in the case of Sartre).
Erik Olin Wright's theory of contradictory class locations, which incorporates Weberian sociology and critical criminology, which incorporates anarchism, is an example of the syncretism in neo-Marxist theory. As with many uses of the prefix neo-, many theorists and groups designated as neo-Marxist have attempted to supplement the perceived deficiencies of orthodox Marxism or dialectical materialism. Many prominent neo-Marxists, such as Herbert Marcuse and other members of the Frankfurt School, were sociologists and psychologists.
Neo-Marxism comes under the broader framework of the New Left.In a sociological sense, neo-Marxism adds Max Weber's broader understanding of social inequality, such as status and power, to Marxist philosophy. Strains of neo-Marxism include: critical theory, analytical Marxism and French structural Marxism.
The concept arose as a way to explain questions which were not explained in Karl Marx's works. There are many different "branches" of Neo-Marxism often not in agreement with each other and their theories.
Neo-Marxism is also used frequently to describe opposition to inequalities experienced by Lesser Developed Countries in a globalized world and as an approach to economics which stresses the monopolistic nature of modern capitalism.
The development of Neo-Marxism came forth through several political and social problems which traditional Marxist thought was unable to answer. Examples to this were: Why socialist and social-democratic political parties did not band together against WWI, but instead supported their own nations entrance into the Great War. Why although the timing seemed to be right for a workers revolution in the west, no large scale revolutions occurred. Also how at this time the rise of Fascism could occur in Europe. All these questions led to internal problems within Marxist theory which caused renewed study and reanalysis of Marx's works to begin.
There is no formal Neo-Marxist organization and seldom do people call themselves Neo-Marxists, so it is difficult to describe who belongs to this movement. Also there is no set definition as to what a Neo-Marxist is, which makes grouping and categorizing this idea even more difficult.
One idea that many "branches" of Neo-Marxism share is the desire to move away from the idea of a bloody revolution to one of a more peaceful nature. Moving away from the violence of the red revolutions of the past while keeping the revolutionary message. Neo-Marxist concepts can also follow an economic theory that attempts to move away from the traditional accusations of class warfare and create new economic theory models, such as Hans Jurgen Krahl did.
Several important advances to Neo-Marxism came after World War I from Georg Lukács, Karl Korsch and Antonio Gramsci. From the Institute of Social Research founded in 1923 at the University of Frankfurt am Main, grew one of the most important schools of neo-Marxist interdisciplinary social theory, The Frankfurt School. Its founders were Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno whose critical theories had great influence on Marxist theory especially after their exile to New York after the rise of National Socialism in 1933.
Neo-marxist theories of development
The Neo-Marxist approach to development economics is connected with dependency and world systems theories. Here the "exploitation" which defines it is a marxist approach is an external exploitation rather than the normal "internal" exploitation of orthodox/classical marxism.

South Skunk River celebration set for June 22
The public is invited to a free celebration on Sunday, June 22, from 2 to 5 p.m., at the Cottonwood Shelter in River Valley Park, near the 13th Street dam in Ames. Story County Conservation is sponsoring the event, and the Skunk River Paddlers will be present to provide paddling expertise.
Come to paddle on the river, learn about water trail designation process, river cleanups, dam safety and how the South Skunk ground and surface water are related to the Ames water supply.
This celebration is designed to introduce people to the river, both by paddling a short stretch of it and by talking to local experts. The Story County segment of the river is under consideration to become a state designated water trail.
Canoes and paddling equipment will be available to paddle upstream of the 13th Street dam. The Skunk River Paddlers will be on hand to help with basic paddling skills and assistance while paddling.
Two local experts, Jim Colbert and Bill Simpkins, will be present to meet the public and answer questions about the river. Colbert leads the Skunk River Navy, an organization of students and adults from ISU and the Ames area that conduct large scale river cleanups. Much of Simpkins’ research focuses on the South Skunk River aquifer. He is developing groundwater models for the city of Ames. Both Colbert and Simpkins are ISU faculty.
For more information, contact the Story County Conservation Center at 515-232-2516 (8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday) or email email@example.com.
