In a move that drew an immediate public response from Charlie Sheen, Warner Bros. announced Monday that it has fired the actor for what the company called “moral turpitude,” TMZ.com reported.
The company, which produces Sheen’s CBS hit “Two and a Half Men,” reportedly sent an 11-page letter to Sheen’s lawyer that said in part, “Your client has been engaged in dangerously self-destructive conduct and appears to be very ill."
Sheen responded with the following statement, according to TMZ.com:
"This is very good news. They continue to be in breach, like so many whales. It is a big day of gladness at the Sober Valley Lodge because now I can take all of their bazillions, never have to look at whatshiscock again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension."
The letter from Warner Bros. reportedly cites Sheen’s trashing of a room in New York’s Plaza Hotel, along with alleged cocaine binges and failure to perform on the set due to drug fatigue, the story says.
The letter cites a clause in Sheen’s contract that reportedly gives the company the right to fire a performer who is guilty of "a felony offense involving moral turpitude," according to the story.
The firing presumably ends Sheen’s involvement with “Two and a Half Men,” and comes the same day that earlier rumors circulated that indicated the actor might be negotiating behind the scenes to return to the show. The rumors essentially had Sheen staying and show creator Chuck Lorre–the main target of recent tirades by Sheen–exiting the show.
Lorre apparently has the backing of Warner Bros., which listed Sheen’s verbal attacks on Lorre among the reasons for the actor’s dismissal, according to the story.
The studio also reportedly is reserving its right to take legal action against the actor.

Recent experience has shown that as countries get richer, nutritional status does not necessarily improve. In a recent article in the journal The Lancet, IFPRI researchers and others explain that creating the right conditions for nutritional advances often requires political action. The feature article in this issue of Insights looks at how some developing countries and regions—Ghana, Peru, Thailand, and the state of Maharashtra, India—have made nutrition a political priority and how they’ve turned political commitments into widespread changes on the ground.

This policy note summarizes research examining the medium-term impact of land registration in Ethiopia on household investment behavior, specifically in terms of the adoption of soil conservation techniques and tree planting. The research investigated whether men’s and women’s knowledge of their land rights—defined as tenure security, land transfer rights, and rights related to gender equity and inheritance—had an impact on their investment behavior.

In this paper, the relationship of women’s individual and joint property ownership and the level of women’s input into household decisionmaking is explored with data from India, Mali, Malawi, and Tanzania. In the three African countries, women with individual landownership have greater input into household decisionmaking than women whose landownership is joint; both have more input than women who are not landowners.

Although there is ample evidence of differences in how and where men and women acquire information, most research on learning and household decisionmaking only considers access to information for a single, typically male, household head. This assumption may be problematic in developing-country agriculture, where women play a fundamental role in farming. Using gender-disaggregated social network data from Uttar Pradesh, India, we analyze agricultural information networks among men and women.

This paper uses a mixed-methods approach to analyze the impact of Helen Keller International’s Enhanced-Homestead Food Production pilot program in Burkina Faso on women’s and men’s assets and on norms regarding ownership, use, and control of those assets. Even though men continue to own and control most land and specific assets in the study area, women’s control over and ownership of assets has started to change, both in terms of quantifiable changes as well as changes in people’s perceptions and opinions about who can own and control certain assets.

A new contextual residential loft building in SoHo.
92-94 Greene Street was to be a new building that integrated into the historic fabric of SoHo. The building was to run through the block with facades on Greene Street and Mercer Street. The façades were designed in pressed enameled steel reflecting the technology of the 20th century in a 19th century context.
The units were designed to have high-ceilinged living rooms facing the street and split level bedrooms with mezzanines in the court between Greene Street and Mercer Street.

We had a great time playing for Ariel and Nick’s Wequassett Resort wedding. No matter how many times we play on Pleasant Bay, it’s always a treat. As usual, catering chief Kalson Pang, ran a really tight ship. All of his weddings are on time. (Pretty amazing!)
I worked closely with Ariel’s father, Michael, on music selection and I loved the pieces they chose. The prelude had traditional Jewish tunes and some Klezmer. The bridal couple are fans of Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra so “Can’t Help Falling In Love” and “Erev Shel Shoshanim” were the processionals while “Fly Me To the Moon” was the recessional. Cocktail hour was mainly old jazz standards.

I remember being in college and seeing the pretty credit card representatives at the tables in the commons giving away toys and other knick-knacks in return for filling out a credit card application. I was 20 and in college when I filled out 6 credit card applications because I was ignorant and naive enough to believe that I would have a hard time getting even one credit card. I thought I could improve my chances by filling out 6 applications! In the end, only American Express was responsible enough to not approve my application. Yes, I received 5 credit cards in the mail within a few weeks. Luckily, I did not go down the same path that so many others do.
I had a girlfriend after college who paid off her college credit card debts five years after graduating. The really sad thing is that congress recently passed legislation that does not automatically forgive credit card debt upon declaration of bankruptcy. This means that there is no way to get a clean start anymore. It seems odd that credit card companies can be reckless enough to extend credit to students, charge high interest to absorb that risk, AND not have to worry about those credit balances ever being cleared through bankruptcy.

Who is being held accountable for causing the city of Milwaukee’s pension disaster? All we hear Democrats doing is trashing legislative Republicans, who disagree over how or whether to fix it. But why is no one being held accountable for causing the underlying mess? Tom Barrett… pic.twitter.com/Z2sojod9oU
— Wisconsin Right Now (@wisconsin_now) May 24, 2023
2002 Milwaukee pension scandal primer:
The pension scandal that broke in 2002 brought county government to its knees, forcing politicians from office and saddling taxpayers with massive unexpected costs that harmed parks, transit and social services.
Now, in a final chapter, a major civil lawsuit will put major players on the witness stand for the first time.
Here’s a roadmap for understanding the trial:
What’s at stake?
- Money: Milwaukee County claims up to $900 million in higher costs linked to the 2000-’01 pension deal. A big win could alleviate some of the county’s stressed finances. The county claim comes as Mercer Inc., the county’s pension numbers cruncher, and its parent firm Marsh and McLennan Companies face another huge pension lawsuit by the state of Alaska. Also, Marsh and McLennan carry no insurance to cover employee errors – making a loss even more painful.
- Careers: A win would help County Executive Scott Walker build political capital that could come in handy for his run for governor. A win would also help former County Executive F. Thomas Ament and some current and former county supervisors claim vindication, after years of public scorn over the pension scandal.
- Closure: After six years of angst, political turmoil and public opprobrium over the county pension deal, the case could shed new light on the deal’s origins, who deserves blame and an ultimate accounting of its costs.
The stage: Federal Courthouse, 517 E. Wisconsin Ave.
The basics: Jury selection begins Monday, May 4. Testimony expected to last about four weeks. No photo, video or audio coverage is allowed under federal rules.

"Barely four years since its founding, The Association of Improvising Musicians Toronto (AIMToronto), has raised the profile of local improvisers, while nurturing the scene. This almost 200-member, non-profit collective helps find venues in which to hear improvised music - most prominently Somewhere There in Parkdale - presents concerts featuring visiting musicians interacting with locals, and has organized a large improvisers orchestra. One of AIMToronto's highest profile gigs took place at the Guelph Jazz Festival in 2007, where 18 AIMToronto members played the music of the American improv guru Anthony Braxton with the composer on soprano saxophone. The result was Creative Orchestra (Guelph). It showcases 18 AIMToronto members following the ever-shifting tonal centres in five Braxton compositions.
Throughout these sequences and intervals it's evident that overtones and undertones are as audible as the melodies, so the aural coloration takes on a 3-D-like effect. Germane to these tracks are the bravura contributions of vocalist Christine Duncan, who personifies the program not only with guttural or bel canto warbling plus inflated or truncated syllables, but also with parlando declarations. Another connecting thread is percussive - with strokes, vibrations and rattles apparent in varied pitches and pressures from Nick Fraser's and Joe Sorbara's drums and Brandon Valdivia's clattering xylophone. Most characteristic of the pieces is Composition 307, a variation of sprechstimme, with Duncan's falsetto dramatics sharing space with antiphonal vamps from the horns or gong-ringing and rim shots from the percussion. As the resonance arranges itself architecturally, slurs, syllables and sequences peep from the layering, with particularly noteworthy contributions from tenor saxophonist Colin Fisher, growls from Ronda Rindone's clarinet and Scott Thomson's shaggy trombone triplets.

• Show Bio for Anthony Braxton
[Anthony Braxton (born June 4, 1945) is an American composer and instrumentalist.]
"Genius is a rare commodity in any art form, but at the end of the 20th century it seemed all but non-existent in jazz, a music that had ceased looking ahead and begun swallowing its tail. If it seemed like the music had run out of ideas, it might be because Anthony Braxton covered just about every conceivable area of creativity during the course of his extraordinary career. The multi-reedist/composer might very well be jazz's last bona fide genius. Braxton began with jazz's essential rhythmic and textural elements, combining them with all manner of experimental compositional techniques, from graphic and non-specific notation to serialism and multimedia. Even at the peak of his renown in the mid- to late '70s, Braxton was a controversial figure amongst musicians and critics. His self-invented (yet heavily theoretical) approach to playing and composing jazz seemed to have as much in common with late 20th century classical music as it did jazz, and therefore alienated those who considered jazz at a full remove from European idioms. Although Braxton exhibited a genuine -- if highly idiosyncratic -- ability to play older forms (influenced especially by saxophonists Warne Marsh, John Coltrane, Paul Desmond, and Eric Dolphy), he was never really accepted by the jazz establishment, due to his manifest infatuation with the practices of such non-jazz artists as John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Many of the mainstream's most popular musicians (Wynton Marsalis among them) insisted that Braxton's music was not jazz at all. Whatever one calls it, however, there is no questioning the originality of his vision; Anthony Braxton created music of enormous sophistication and passion that was unlike anything else that had come before it. Braxton was able to fuse jazz's visceral components with contemporary classical music's formal and harmonic methods in an utterly unselfconscious -- and therefore convincing -- way. The best of his work is on a level with any art music of the late 20th century, jazz or classical.
Braxton began playing music as a teenager in Chicago, developing an early interest in both jazz and classical musics. He attended the Chicago School of Music from 1959-1963, then Roosevelt University, where he studied philosophy and composition. During this time, he became acquainted with many of his future collaborators, including saxophonists Joseph Jarman and Roscoe Mitchell. Braxton entered the service and played saxophone in an Army band; for a time he was stationed in Korea. Upon his discharge in 1966, he returned to Chicago where he joined the nascent Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM). The next year, he formed an influential free jazz trio, the Creative Construction Company, with violinist Leroy Jenkins and trumpeter Leo Smith. In 1968, he recorded For Alto, the first-ever recording for solo saxophone. Braxton lived in Paris for a short while beginning in 1969, where he played with a rhythm section comprised of bassist Dave Holland, pianist Chick Corea, and drummer Barry Altschul. Called Circle, the group stayed together for about a year before disbanding (Holland and Altschul would continue to play in Braxton-led groups for the next several years). Braxton moved to New York in 1970. The '70s saw his star rise (in a manner of speaking); he recorded a number of ambitious albums for the major label Arista and performing in various contexts. Braxton maintained a quartet with Altschul, Holland, and a brass player (either trumpeter Kenny Wheeler or trombonist George Lewis) for most of the '70s. During the decade, he also performed with the Italian free improvisation group Musica Elettronica Viva, and guitarist Derek Bailey, as well as his colleagues in AACM. The '80s saw Braxton lose his major-label deal, yet he continued to record and issue albums on independent labels at a dizzying pace. He recorded a memorable series of duets with bop pioneer Max Roach, and made records of standards with pianists Tete Montoliu and Hank Jones. Braxton's steadiest vehicle in the '80s and '90s -- and what is often considered his best group -- was his quartet with pianist Marilyn Crispell, bassist Mark Dresser, and drummer Gerry Hemingway. In 1985, he began teaching at Mills College in California; he subsequently joined the music faculty at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, where he taught through the '90s. During that decade, he received a large grant from the MacArthur Foundation that allowed him to finance some large-scale projects he'd long envisioned, including an opera. At the beginning of the 21st century, Braxton was still a vital presence on the creative music scene."-All Music, Chris Kelsey (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/anthony-braxton-mn0000924030/biography)

Navajo Bridge and Zion National Park
I enjoy my final breakfast at the Bright Angel Lodge on a cool and breezy morning before driving east on Desert View Drive, through the Grand Canyon east entrance, and then west on Hwy 89A. Near the village of Marble Canyon, I stop at the Navajo Bridge which crosses a narrow stretch near the beginning of the Grand Canyon.
In the 1870s, Mormon pioneers from Utah were discouraged from expanding their settlements into Arizona by nearly 600 miles of deep canyons along the Colorado River. Established in 1873, Lee’s Ferry was the sole, important route for settlers and local traffic. When automobiles began to use the ferry in the 1920′s it became obvious a method, more reliable than relying on the unpredictable moods of the Colorado River, was desperately needed.
A bridge site was selected 5 river miles south across Marble Canyon. Construction for the 800 foot span, 467 feet above the river, began in June of 1927. Lee’s Ferry was used to transport workers and material whenever possible. On June 7, 1928 the ferry sank in an accident which killed 3 men and, with the bridge nearing completion, the ferry was not replaced. For many months there was no direct link between Utah and Arizona so people had to travel 800 miles around the canyon to get to the other side. On January 12, 1929 the historic bridge was opened to traffic.
At the time it was the highest, steel arch bridge in the world. On June 14 – 15, 1929, nearly 7,000 people and 1,217 cars attended the gala dedication in this isolated location. Reportedly, planes flew under the span. Since prohibition was in effect, the Grand Canyon Bridge was christened with a bottle of ginger-ale. In 1934, the name of the structure was changed to Navajo Bridge and it served the area for 66 years until the 18 foot wide bridge could no longer handle exponentially increasing loads. Safety was also an issue and over one 13 year period 72 accidents were recorded including 8 fatalities. Construction of the new bridge, beside the old one, began in May, 1993. Great effort went into making them appear virtually identical. On May 2, 1995, traffic was diverted onto the new bridge and the historic bridge was allocated to pedestrian traffic. Again, the dedication was well attended on September 14, 1995 when the new Navajo Bridge was christened with a bucket of water from the Colorado River. The old west side rest area was expanded to include the Navajo Bridge Interpretive Center opened in April, 1997. On the east side of the bridge, there is an area reserved for Native American craft vendors. The artistry is amazing.
For the next 20 miles of straight level highway I parallel the rich, red cliffs of the southern edge of Vermilion Cliffs National Monument before climbing on twisting road west to Kanab, Utah. Driving north on Hwy 9 will take me through Zion National Park, which like the Red Canyon, Bryce, and the Glen Canyon, is through a land of ancient, desert sand dunes which bordered the edge of prehistoric seas. Over millions of years, the thousands of square miles of compressed sand have been carved by weather into fascinating and colourful formations. At least one layer of the Zion sandstone dunes was blown in from the northern Rocky Mountains as violent storms roared across newly forming continents. Many of the deposits were formed by volcanic activity as the earth cooled.
The 229 square mile Zion National Park was established in 1909 as the Mukuntuweap National Monument before expansion to become Zion National Park in 1919. It is one of the best examples of the inheritance from this tumultuous period of time. Zion, named by the Mormons in the 1860s, is interpreted as a place of safety or refuge. The north-west Kolob section, which I will not visit on this trip, was added in 1937. Kolob, in Mormon theology, is a heavenly place close to God.
Just past the park’s east entrance, the Checker Board Mesa looms large overhead and subsequently I am immersed in spectacular desert sandstone terrain of mountains, valleys and red pavement. There is a month of hiking in this incredible area that might cover the highlights but I will be here for only a couple of hours as a sight-seeing refresher to previous trips. After travelling through a small, rock tunnel I arrive at a great engineering achievement; the 5,607-foot-long Zion-Mount Carmel tunnel completed in 1930. It is narrow, snug and carved through the base of a large mountain. The tunnel has the occasional small opening in the side for ventilation and light. The 1.1 mile tunnel links the east and west side of the park. Exiting the tunnel begins the dizzying descent on 6 steep and severe switchbacks through awesome desert terrain where huge, sculpted rock formations coexist with hanging gardens, brilliantly coloured mountains and rugged valleys. A rest break at the west, crowded entrance to Zion Canyon Visitor Center is over-shadowed by the 6,545 foot summit of the Watchman rising 2,555 feet above the canyon floor.
Passing Rockville and Virgin, I hang a right at La Verkin onto highway 17 through Toquerville to I-15. Making quick time north on I-15, I pass the Hurricane Cliffs on my right and 10,365 ft Signal Peak on my left, and at Cedar City I can see Cedar Breaks National Monument and Brian’s Head far off in the distance, where my trip began nearly two weeks prior. At 3:30 PM, I call it a day in Beaver, which you will recall is, the birthplace of Robert Leroy Parker, aka the outlaw, Butch Cassidy.
The Drive Home to Calgary – Day 1
I drive north on I-15 past Salt Lake City , Fillmore, and Provo, home of Brigham Young University. Continuing past Ogden and Brigham City, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, Dubois and Dillon, I cross the Continental Divide twice before arriving in Butte, Montana where I will finish my day.
The Drive Home to Calgary – Day 2 and Final
I am up early on a chilly 4 deg C morning and on the road at 7 AM. There is a 45 minute line-up at Canadian Customs. By mid afternoon, I am back in my Calgary apartment. This wilderness adventure is complete.
I do these journals, primarily for myself, but also for family, friends, acquaintances and fellow adventurers who might enjoy and benefit from my time. Some share my passion for the wilderness, my thirst for adventure and the ability to summon the inner child.
I have attempted to teach a few of the basics of desert survival and to give you a bit of the history surrounding the trails and photos.
In the final two days, I take only one picture of an early morning, clear-sky sunrise. In addition, I have included a photo of myself at home. The highly organized debris-field surrounding me is some of the research material I use to add history and commentary to places explored.
I hope you have enjoyed the journey.

PROPOSAL WORK PLAN
Department of Estate and Facilities would require 2 years to complete all the planning and works in this project that involves a significant change in the landscape of private car park.
The empty land behind KB Block was designated as the site for a 800-space parking lot, which will be renovated into two multi-level buildings to accommodate the new sports complex and parking space.Varieties of sport facilities will be placed in a six floor building and the original car park will be compensated by a new five floor building to maximise space.
Various project tasks are compounded into five phases for the completion of this project.
PHASE 1 :Approval and Planning Stage
Department of Estate and Facilities will undertake the approval of renovation works by Majlis Perbandaran Kajang which is the local government authorities as well as confirmation from management of UTAR on the scope of this project.This will take approximately three months to complete.
The procurement specialists will begin to search for a supply chain of sport equipment to be installed in the sport complex.
PHASE 2 :Integration of Design Process
All site facilities and amenities shall be accessible to people with disabilities in accordance with the provisions of the Architectural Barriers Act Standard (ABA).
Multipurpose Sport Complex
The new facilities will include :
6 basketball courts
6 volleyball courts
6 badminton courts
3 tennis courts
An Olympic size swimming pool
A three-lane running track
4 squash rooms
4 table tennis
2 dance rooms
1 martial art room
An archery range
There should be several entrances with access control entrance swing gate to identify the identity of students or staff using their UTAR ID card.All entrances lead the guests to a main lobby which provides seating areas for those who may want to wait or rest. A multipurpose hall is also designed as an excellent ground which is air-conditioned to hold up around 500 people comfortably for any floorball competition or event.A cafeteria service would provide a total 600 servings of prepaid hot meals everyday as well as selling various light snacks and canned drinks.
First floor and Second floor
Indoor basketball courts and volleyball courts are usually floored with polished wood to maximize performance and safety of players.Accompanying each court will be a new scoreboard and light setup, bleacher seating for 200 spectators, and field support facilities to provide storage of equipment and other fields maintenance items.Locker room area will be constructed to function as a team meeting room and for storage of one’s belongings .
Olympic-size swimming pool is complemented by a 200 pax capacity viewing gallery.The size of pool is approximately 50m in length, 25m in width, and 2m in depth.Safety measures such as first aid kits, throw ropes, buoys, CPR masks and head Immobilizers are located to where they can be easily identified and reached by users.Squash rooms shall be provided with an effective ventilation system to ensure smooth airflow.A few long benches would be placed behind the unhindered view of CT finned glass back wall of those rooms.
This floor includes a martial arts room which is able to host any event consisting of up to 200 participants. Tatami mats are provided for all users of the martial arts room to learn and practise self-defense training,for example,taekwondo, judo,aikido or even wushu.The purpose-built dance studios are tiled with a thin vinyl marley to absorb the impact of intensive dance exercise.Dance studios will also equip with a barre, sound system for playing CD’s or music via a Bluetooth-enabled device and at least one wall to be covered by floor to ceiling mirrors.Besides,on the same floor,an archery range offers four shooting lanes with shooting distances of 10 – 30 yards.Behind the targets there must be a safe arrow stop device, known as a special arrow stop curtain.
Gymnasiums are separated into different training areas to keep safety and give facility patrons a better workout experience,for example,free-weight area,functional fitness area,stretching area,cardiovascular, strength-training area,etc.The virtual workout concept can also be taken to combine typical treadmill or bike as if the users are competing with the international athletes.An indoor three-lane running track is suspended above one of the gyms,1/12 of a mile. Tennis tables are also available outside public spaces.
Tennis courts and badminton courts are both flat rectangular playing surfaces with hardwood flooring or carpet. Divider curtains are placed between courts so two different activities can be hosted simultaneously.In consideration of the natural lightning and ventilation,radial planning roof will best suit in passive cooling within the building.
All parking spaces shall consist of a rectangular area not less than eight and one-half (8?) feet wide by eighteen (18) feet in length. Pedestrian circulation shall take precedence over vehicular circulation.The signs should be displayed in an area where they can be clearly view.Elevators are strategically located to be within about a two-minute travel distance from all directions.
All integrated design process would be finalized within one month.
PHASE 3 : Pre-construction Works
Pre-construction works for the Project, such as, topographic survey, tree survey, utility survey and ground investigation, will need one month to be finalized.
PHASE 4 :Preparation of Site
After obtaining the necessary approvals, the construction company will begin preparation of the site works in the following aspects:
Break ground and excavation
Construction workers will clear the site such as rocks, debris and trees for buildings construction.The workers will dig holes and trenches for preparation of foundation.
Foundation and framing
Next,the workers will also level the site, put up wooden forms to serve as a template for the foundation and install footings. It is followed by installing floor, walls and roof systems.Sheathing will be applied to the exterior walls and windows and exterior doors are installed.
Plumbing and electrical wiring works
Once the framing is finished,the electrical and plumbing contractors can start running pipes and wires through the interior walls, ceilings and floors for whole building. Sewage system, as well as water supply lines are installed.
Different types of floorings are installed as well as countertops for the requirement of each area. Exterior finish grading ensure proper drainage away from the building and prepare the empty space for landscaping.Mechanical works such as install bathroom and facilities fixtures are carried out.
All the site works may take one and a half years for completion.
PHASE 5 : Completion of Project
Process of applying for building permits takes 2 months for new construction.

American Reconnaissance Aircraft
In 1966 the United States Air Force (USAF) commissioned Cessna to build a military variant of the Skymaster.
As with the civilian version, the Skymaster was a low-cost twin-engine piston-powered aircraft, with one engine in the nose of the aircraft and a second engine in the rear of the fuselage.
The USAF took delivery of the O-2 Skymaster in March 1967. By 1970, a total of 532 O-2s had been built, in two variants, for the USAF.
During the Vietnam War, the O-2A was introduced as the forward air control (FAC) aircraft.

So I began my personal 2016 Sweater Challenge this past January (see earlier post this year). I’ll admit it has been slow going, not because of difficulties with the project but just making time to work on it.
May has begun and I’m almost there! I’m still totally in love with the yarn and can’t wait to see the finished product. Below is a picture of where I was in January compared to now – there are just 2 more inches of length in stockinette stitch before I can add the ribbing, then we’re off to blocking and the sewing together.
Now I don’t have a lot of experience with that “B” word … “blocking”. This will be my first attempt at blocking a silk wool blend. After all the hard work, I really don’t want to mess up my pretty shrug. If anyone has any tips that may help, please share!!! Thanks so much!
This holiday season just reinforced my love of all things warm, cozy and woolly and sharing it with loved ones. My hands are happily tired from all the hooking and knitting but it was well worth it.
Of all the items made over the last couple months, my number one gift to give was the Macchiato Slouchy Hat designed by LittleMonkeysCrochet. This hat is a fantastic accessory for the winter, a great gift for hat lovers. Rebecca has once again picked the perfect yarn for this project – Lion Brand’s Scarfie. The ombre effect is gorgeous and yes, the one ball can make two hats (just). It is by far my favourite slouchy hat for winter and, pictured below, worn by one of my favourite people.
I’ve also made it in black and white with a weathered red button for some “wow!” effect. I love the splash of colour against the white and black.
I have one more ball of Scarfie in black and dark raspberry pink – can’t wait to make a couple more!

URBAN MISSIONAL CHURCH DESIGNATION
Whereas, The number of people living in urban areas is estimated at 44% of the population and many of these are living in poverty;
Whereas, Injustice exists in large North American cities, where children suffer at incredible rates, unemployment is rampant, and the church is needed in a desperate way;
Whereas, Many of the challenges of ministering to the needs of those in this environment are difficult and expensive for a church to reach and respond to; and
Whereas, The Wesleyan Church has had little success in reaching these areas due, in part, to lack of resourcing and funding;
Resolved, That a new type of organization be created as Urban Missional Church, as paragraph 536, which would read as follows:
4. Urban Missional Church
536. An urban missional church is a local church located and serving in a high poverty area in a city of over 200,000 people. It shall be recommended and approved by the district board of administration (1233:30) and must be approved by the General Superintendent. Its approval will be for two years, and may be renewed. Its organizational structure will follow the same pattern as a developing church (510:1-5). Should it cease to qualify as an urban missional church, it would move into developing church or established church status, as authorized by the district board of administration.
Resolved, That "an urban missional church (536)" be inserted into 1233:30 following "developing church (510)";
Resolved, That a new subparagraph (6) be added to 2310 (renumbering the subsequent subparagraphs) that would read as follows:
(6) In consultation with district superintendents and pastors who are involved in urban church ministry, develop and refine, as needed, specific criteria for designating urban missional churches from among those who apply.
Resolved, That paragraph 2005:1(l) be added to read, "From money raised for Urban Missional Churches"; and
Resolved, That paragraph 2005:3(g) be added and read as follows:
(g) Urban Missional Church Exception. Whenever a local church is designated as an urban missional church, the USF obligation for that church shall be set at 50 percent of the regular assessment.

The next story arc in Marvel's Avengers comic will put the spotlight on Jennifer Walters in "World War She-Hulk." The name obviously invokes the now-classic "World War Hulk" storyline of the late 2000s; that story saw Bruce Banner/Hulk invade Earth as a galactic conqueror, after the other heroes of the Marvel Universe betrayed, banished, and tried to assassinate Hulk.
Avengers #46 kicks off the She-Hulk storyline, bringing the Jade Giant's journey to an explosive conclusion in the lead-up to Avengers #50. "World War She-Hulk" is an homage to 2007's World War Hulk event series.
Marvel shares World War Hulk's core concept will be at work in "World War She-Hulk," which will see Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk deemed to be a global threat, which leads by Russia and its infamous Winter Guard to pursue and capture her.
Avengers #46 by Jason Aaron and Javier Garrón goes on sale July 7 from Marvel Comics.

Vladimir Putin: 'I know some people who are gay, we're on friendly terms'
Defending Russia’s ban on 'gay propaganda', Mr Putin claimed the law 'doesn't harm anybody' and that there's 'no discrimination' in Russia
Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed he has no prejudice against gay people, adding that he is even on “friendly terms” with some.
His words follow an earlier statement in which he said gay people “can feel relaxed and comfortable” at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi - as long as they “leave the children in peace”.
Speaking on the BBC’s Andrew Marr show, Mr Putin asserted that there was a ban on the “propaganda of homosexuality” rather than being gay - a law which he claimed “doesn’t harm anyone,” or put gay people in danger.
The statement, apparently aimed at offering assurances to gay athletes and spectators, is set to cause further outrage however after Putin seemingly linked homosexuality with paedophilia.
“We have recently passed a law prohibiting propaganda, and not of homosexuality only, but of homosexuality and child abuse, child sexual abuse,” he said.
“But this is nothing to do with persecuting individuals for their sexual orientation. There's a world of difference between these things.
“So there's no danger for individuals of this non-traditional sexual orientation, who are planning to come to the Games as visitors, or participants.”
Insisting that there was no professional or social discrimination against gay people in Russia, he used the example of Sir Elton John - who condemned the law during a recent performance in Moscow - as an “extraordinary person” loved by millions “regardless of his sexual orientation”.
He added: “Read our law carefully - and pay attention to its name. It's called a 'ban on the propaganda of paedophilia and homosexuality'. There are countries, including in Europe, where they're debating the possibility of legalising paedophilia. Publicly discussing this, in parliament.”
The controversial law passed in June threatens fines for anyone who provides information about paedophilia and homosexuality to people under 18.
“It seems to me that the law we adopted doesn't harm anybody. What's more, homosexual people can't feel inferior here, because there is no professional, career or social discrimination against them,” the Russian President told the BBC.
Asked whether athletes or spectators who protest against the law could face action against them, Mr Putin said: “Protest actions and propaganda are two slightly different things. Similar, but from a legal point of view, protesting against a law is not the same as propaganda for homosexuality or child abuse.”
In the south Russian city of Voronezh on Saturday, security guards detained a gay rights protester for waving a rainbow flag in an attempt to disrupt the Olympic torch relay.

Comedian Artie Lange recently tweeted his disgusting sexual desires for ESPN “First Take” host Cari Champion which included his need to treat her like a slave and her laugh at his white…uh…member. Champion quickly gained support from people on Twitter who used the #iSupportCari hashtag to share their disdain for Lange’s harsh and horrific tweets.
ESPN has now responded to the tasteless Twitter fantasies of Artie Lange toward their host, Cari Champion and said:
“His comments were reprehensible and no one should be subjected to such hateful language. They objectify and demean one of our valued employees under the thin guise of ‘comedy’ and are offensive to all of us. We will not dignify them with any other comment.”
Surprisingly Lange posted a series of tweets that served as an apology:
“This observation came while I was watching one of my favorite TV shows ESPNs First Take. I also noticed she was black. I then thought it would be funny to tweet JOKES about that observation. A decision which might be the end of modern comedy. I tweeted jokes that in the past I would’ve said in privately in my home among friends. I know black women who could join me and handle it. I won’t debate if the tweets were funny. That could take minutes of precious time left in my career. The issue is do they warrant an apology. Tricky question. I would rather load trucks for a living then ever apologize to one of these awful PC groups ruining the country. So that’s a NO. But if it upset the lady in question that’s another story. Let me say to Cari Champion if this hurt u in any way I’m sorry. I’m a comedian. Sometimes I’m funny! For the record my moms disgusted w the tweets. But if I based my humor on my mom I’d be broke. They’re now telling me I can’t appear on @Midnight tonight cause of the pressure they’re getting from these groups. But who cares. I love the show & it’s my living but who cares. These groups have won again. All I care about is @CariChampion Truly.”
This apology is very interesting. Lange explains exactly why he shared the tweets and while it’s great that we’re more in the know of his though process, still, the tweets were ridiculously over the line. Comedy is an art form that often gains attention and laughs for the offensive. The more awful, the better, usually. There’s always a thin line between just jokes and flat out racism and sexism when it comes to comedy. Lange admitted that he doesn’t think the issue of his tweets need an apology, but because he hurt Champion, he’s sorry. This is better than nothing, no?
What do you think…comedy or just wrong? Sound off in the comments below.

A Methodology to Investigate the Dynamic Characteristics of ESP and EHB Hydraulic Units 2006-01-1281
The paper deals with the Hardware-In-the-Loop based methodology which was adopted to evaluate the dynamic characteristics of Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Electro-Hydraulic Brake (EHB) components. Firstly, it permits the identification of the time delays due to the hardware of the actuation system. Secondly, the link between the hardware of the hydraulic unit and a vehicle model running in real time permits the objective evaluation of the performance induced by the single components of different hydraulic units in terms of vehicle dynamics. The paper suggests the main parameters and tests which can help the car manufacturer in evaluating ESP hydraulic units, without expensive road tests.

text: The benefits of owning a lifted truck are numerous. Improved off-roading ability, a better view of the road, and the ability to equip bigger wheels and tires for an outstanding look are just a few of those benefits. However, just like a stock vehicle, some components in a lift kit can wear out over time, most notably the shock absorbers. Some lift kits include shocks that are radically different from the stock units, meaning that replacing those shocks isn't always as simple as just looking your vehicle up. In this guide, we'll show you how to choose the correct shocks for a truck equipped with a lift kit.

The Vatican has long let cardinals or its official spokesmen do its talking when scandal hits.
But as the Vatican reels from a swirling clerical sex abuse crisis, the Holy See has turned to an unusual advocate: a tennis-loving, Saab-driving solo practitioner from Berkeley, Calif., whose obscure specialty in comparative law and fluency in Italian landed him the job of the pope's U.S. lawyer. Photo
Jeffrey Lena's studied yet creative approach to defending the Vatican in U.S. abuse lawsuits has influenced the Vatican's new public message as he is increasingly called on to act as Rome's unofficial U.S. spokesman and strategist.
In an exclusive interview Saturday with The Associated Press, Lena conceded he never thought he'd be the Vatican's lawyer much less it's very public messenger.
"Two weeks ago I was a lawyer minding my own cases. That's not what's happening now," Lena said. Photo
Still, the 51-year-old former history professor avoids the limelight. He declined to be photographed for this profile, citing security and privacy concerns for his wife and son. He says he has received threats because of his advocacy for the Holy See and has moved his three-person law office to an undisclosed location in Berkeley.

When Pat Narduzzi talks about the Pitt rushing attack, or what Pitt has missed at running back this season, to be more precise, he often brings up Izzy Abanikanda.
Louisville’s Jahwar Jordan doesn’t look much like Abanikanda, at least, not if the two were standing side by side, but there’s certainly a similarity in the way the two running backs punish opposing defenses with their running styles.
And Pitt is all too familiar with the way Abanikanda needed just one touch to change the course of a football game.
“(Louisville has) got a tailback who’s explosive,” Narduzzi said Thursday at his weekly press conference. “If you put on their explosive plays, if I put them up on the screen for you here, you’d be like, ‘Wow.’ Give him a crack and he’ll take it. Throw him a T-screen, and he’s taking it 70.
“When you have a guy that can do that… you guys saw what Izzy was last year. Are we a whole bunch different offensively than we were last year? You look at who your MVP was a year later, you look back and go, ‘Who do you miss?’ I miss that speed; I miss that pop through the line of scrimmage.”
Jordan has been one of the most explosive running backs in college football this season, racking up 653 yards and eight touchdowns on just 87 carries — adding 168 yards and another touchdown on just nine receptions.
It hasn’t exactly been Murderer’s Row for the Cardinals this season, but Jordan racked up 96 yards at 13.7 yards a pop against Georgia Tech, 113 yards (and 43 more through the air) against Indiana, 134 yards (and 75 more through the air) against Boston College and his 143 yards and two touchdowns slayed Notre Dame last weekend.
He’s top-10 in rush yards and yards per attempt so far this season — and it’s largely because of that breakaway ability.
Jordan has racked up 331 yards after contact this season, showing the ability to pinball off of would-be tacklers for a few extra yards at a solid clip, but he’s a one-cut kind of player. He has 13 carries of at least 10 yards this season, but 11 of those have gone for at least 15 yards — among the best in college football.
Simply put, when Jordan takes a handoff, a pitch, whatever, he’s a threat to at least pick up a first down. Usually much more. All but two of his nine touchdowns have been from at least 20 yards out.
- 74-yard rushing touchdown against Georgia Tech
- 72-yard rushing touchdown against Murray State
- 1-yard rushing touchdown against Murray State
- 25-yard rushing touchdown against Indiana
- 22-yard rushing touchdown against Boston College
- 2-yard rushing touchdown against Boston College
- 75-yard receiving touchdown against Boston College
- 45-yard rushing touchdown against Notre Dame
- 21-yard rushing touchdown against Notre Dame
That’s just about 41% of his offensive production, all of his touchdowns, of course, on just over 9% of his touches. That’s pretty explosive. And the Pitt defense hasn’t exactly stifled explosive plays this season either.
Jordan has racked up just 53 yards on 18 carries in two career meetings against Pitt, once with Syracuse in 2020 and once with Louisville in 2022, and Narduzzi expects to see a heavy dose of Jordan — and maybe not so much of an option offense.
“They’ll run a little bit of option at times, but we’ll see if they like the option against us,” Narduzzi said. “It’s a little speed option, just a way to get (Jordan) the ball in space on the edge. But we’re defending 10 guys as opposed to — we have to defend 11 in the passing game, but in the run game, we’re facing 10 this week, I hope. As a matter of fact, I don’t hope. I hope it’s 11. If they want to run with him, we’re fine with that.”
Let’s address both of Narduzzi’s points here.
Yes, Jordan has been excellent in bouncing runs outside (25 carries for 214 yards and two touchdowns on runs around either end), but he’s been pretty darn effective in just about every phase — running up the middle, off the guards, off the tackles, out in space, whatever. He’s averaging nearly eight yards a carry. And that’s no coincidence.
And to the other point, Cards’ quarterback Jack Plummer has not had many designed rush attempts this season. In fact, most — just about all — of his rush attempts come in the form of scrambles. He’s not a statue, but he’s also not Malik Cunningham either. But he is throwing the ball very well.
“It’s a balance,” Narduzzi said Monday at his weekly news conference. “You’ve got to play both. They’re having success in the run game and the passing game. So, it is a lot more balanced. However, you look at Virginia Tech, and they averaged almost 12 yards per pass and 3.4 yards per run. It looked like it was the opposite, but it wasn’t.”
Pitt entered a week of serious self-scouting, and a bit of soul searching at that, as the Hokies wore Pitt down on the ground over the course of four quarters and connected on big plays through the air to leave the Panthers scrambling. VT, despite entering with a bottom-tier offense in the ACC, had its way with Pitt offensively.
“You go back to the Virginia Tech game, and we’re on the field for almost 40 minutes — had 59 rushes,” Narduzzi said. “Our goal is to hold people to 3.3 yards per carry. We held them to 3.4 yards. It felt like it was 10.8 yards per carry because you felt like you’re out there all day, and you couldn’t stop that little toss counter read.
“They’re playing with a wildcat quarterback, (Kyron) Drones, so you look at the balance there. But then he was able to hit three passes on us, which was disappointing. Got a little push-off, and we’re looking back for the ball too early, almost ten yards. We’re looking back for the ball and get nudged off, perfect pass. We gave up two other big passes in that game. So we’ve got to be better on defense stopping the run.”
It may have been unconventional, and the Pitt offense didn’t help with short drive after short drive, but the Pitt defense wasn’t able to get off the field as missed tackles — 26 of them, to be precise — extended drives.
Jordan isn’t the type of running back — at 5-foot-9, 175 pounds — to carry the ball 10 times a drive and wear down a defense. He’s the kind of running back to take a handoff, make a single cut and burst through a small gap for a 50-yard gain. That’s the task Pitt will have in stopping his rushing style, but the defensive ends, the linebackers and the safeties cannot miss when given the chance to wrap him up for a short gain.
Those missed tackles were a major, major problem against the Hokies.
“There are several tackles that would’ve made the game Saturday quite different, so we’ve had time to practice and we’ve got some guys who are continuing to get better, and that’s the objective of the bye week,” Randy Bates said after practice Wednesday.
But, in my opinion, the biggest area where Pitt failed against VT was in limiting those explosives through the air. VT’s Bhaysul Tuten racked up 109 yards on 24 carries, with a long of 26 yards, but the Panthers otherwise limited the ground attack.
Drones connected on just 12 passes against Pitt, but one was a 54-yard touchdown pass to Da’Quan Felton and the other was a 53-yard touchdown pass to Jaylin Lane. Those cannot happen again.
Plummer has been very effective for Louisville this season, completing 103-of-156 pass attempts (66%) for 1,551 yards with 12 touchdowns and six interceptions. And he’s done all that with 10 drops from his wide receivers.
Like most quarterbacks, he’s pretty cool with a clean pocket (and he’s only been under pressure on about 33% of his 61 dropbacks this season), and he’s utilized a steady dose of deep balls — completing 14-of-31 pass attempts over 20 yards for 569 yards with six touchdowns and four interceptions.
And Jamari Thrash, a 6-foot, 180-pound grad transfer from Georgia State, has been one of the best wide receivers in the ACC so far this season, racking up 30 receptions for 519 yards (17.3 yards per reception) and six touchdowns.
“The receivers are physical, they make plays, they’re quick, they get out of their breaks well,” Narduzzi said. “Again, they will block you. I’m impressed with their toughness. I think Brohm does a great job scheming you up, but they’re a talented football team, for sure.”
It’s a talented Louisville offense, one that is fourth in scoring (36.3 points per game), third in total offense (467.3 yards per game), fourth in passing offense (275 passing yards per game) and fourth in rushing offense (192.3 rushing yards per game) in the ACC, and it’s certainly one of the best Pitt has — and likely will — face this season.
“They run the ball very well,” Bates said. “I don’t know if they’re leading the league, but they certainly are close if they’re not. They’ve got two good running backs who carry the ball well, and then they throw it well and coordinate that well. It’s a good offense.”
“They play fast. It’s hard to see it just on tape, but North Carolina was pretty fast,” Narduzzi said. “So, I wouldn’t say they’re faster than North Carolina. But you don’t know until you see it live.”
Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at Acrisure Stadium Saturday night, and if there’s one unknown, it’s how the weather (with the chance of rain all night) will impact the matchup. But with a strong passing and rushing attack, it’s a very good bet the Cardinals will be ready for whatever the forecast predicts.

Russia has develop into “completely unsafe” for foreign buyers, the EU foreign service has warned in Europe’s first response to the daylight theft of Carlsberg and Danone.
“The presidential decree [on the asset-seizures] is yet one more proof of Russia’s disregard for worldwide regulation and guidelines, this time by as soon as once more focusing on the financial pursuits of foreign corporations legitimately working in Russia,” EU foreign service spokesman Peter Stano instructed EUobserver on Wednesday (19 July).
“With this Russia isn’t solely looting in Ukraine, it’s transferring on to illegally depriving homeowners from the management over their property on Russian territory,” he added.
“The Russian presidential decree can be a really clear sign to any outdoors commerce, enterprise companions, or buyers — if there are any left — concerning the state of the rule of regulation, financial and monetary ensures and security of their property in Russia, making it completely unsafe and unpredictable additionally in financial phrases,” Stano mentioned.
The EU spoke out after Russian president Vladimir Putin suddenly nationalised the multi-billion euro property of Danish brewer Carlsberg and French yoghurt-maker Danone final Sunday.
Putin additionally appointed Kremlin loyalists as new administrators of the seized subsidiaries on Tuesday.
Carlsberg’s breweries are to be run by 70-year previous Taimuraz Bolloev, a businessman who’s Putin’s long-time good friend, based on Spark-Interfax, a Russian company database.
Danone’s yoghurt enterprise is to be run by 34-year previous Yakub Zakriev, who’s Chechnya’s agriculture minister and a nephew of Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov, the Financial Times reported.
“The change to the administration of Baltika Breweries has … been made with out the data or approval by Carlsberg Group,” the Danish agency mentioned on Wednesday.
“It is unclear to Carlsberg Group what implications this improvement can have on the continuing operations of Baltika Breweries in Russia,” it added.
Danone didn’t remark.
The transfer comes after Putin additionally seized the property of Finnish and German corporations Fortum and Uniper in April.
“Fortum considers Russia’s actions to be a crude violation of worldwide regulation and of Fortum’s rights as a foreign investor,” a spokeswoman instructed EUobserver on Tuesday, echoing the EU foreign service.
And with dozens of high EU corporations nonetheless current in Russia regardless of the warfare, buyers worry that Putin’s redistribution of foreign treasure to his cronies is simply starting.
The record of potential targets would come with a few of Europe’s largest banks (Deutsche Bank, Raiffeisen Bank International, UniCredit) and vitality corporations (Engie, OMV, and Total).
It additionally consists of well-known Italian style manufacturers, similar to Armani, Benetton, and Diesel, in addition to Austrian energy-drink maker Red Bull, Dutch brewery Heineken, French cosmetics maker Clarins, and German engineering agency Bosch.
“Any Western agency working in Russia could be put beneath state management. It will definitely elevate issues for the few remaining corporations working in Russia,” mentioned Filip Medunic, a Russia knowledgeable on the European Council for Foreign Relations, a think-tank.
Lukas Andriukaitis, a Russia knowledgeable on the Atlantic Council think-tank within the US, added: “This is a full-on nationalisation of foreign property in a rustic whose financial system is struggling and, at this level, slowly sinking”.
EU foreign ministers assembly in Brussels on 20 July may talk about the developments.
“Russia/Ukraine will in fact be mentioned, however this particular level isn’t on the formal agenda. It can be, nevertheless, that the affected nations [Denmark and France] elevate this throughout discussions,” an EU diplomat mentioned.
The Danish and French foreign ministries didn’t reply to EUobserver.
Looming tax menace
Nationalisations apart, Moscow has additionally raised nervousness about higher taxes for foreign corporations in future.
Most European corporations have been paying subsequent to no tax inside Russia on their income there because of beneficial double-taxation treaties.
But Russia’s finance ministry, in March, proposed freezing such tax treaties with some 40 “unfriendly” nations that imposed sanctions on Russia, such because the 27 EU member states.
If Putin goes forward, this might imply “a dividend tax even as much as 25 %,” a Russian supply instructed EUobserver in May.
“Putin’s taxing them [European firms] for, outrageously, staying extra loyal to him than to the EU can be one other signal of his foolishness,” mentioned Jeff Sonnenfeld, a senior professor on the Yale School of Management within the US.
“I hope he does it,” Sonnenfeld mentioned.


Poor Mr. Cheeseburger, how dare you slice him in half? Little Arianna Hill, an outspoken autistic seven-year-old, admonished a Utah Chili's for "breaking" a cheeseburger on Sunday in a heartwarming story shared by tens of thousands online, said Yahoo! News.
Hill's older sister Anna MacLean told ABC their visit to the Utah restaurant "seemed to be going pretty well" and even though her little sister's "verbal skills aren't the best," she was still able to order her cheeseburger.
After it arrived, "I asked why she wasn't eating and she said, 'I don't want it. It's broken,'" MacLean recalled, explaining that the burger had been sliced in half. "She said, 'I need one that's fixed.'"
This sort of thing can ruin her little sister's entire day, but MacLean didn't expect the people working at their local Midvale Chili's to understand that.
But the next thing you know, their waitress, Lauren Wells, was personally apologizing for hurting Mr. Cheeseburger and assuring her that a "fixed" one was on its way. Then the manager came out and offered condolences. "The line cooks even got involved," according to MacLean, said Yahoo! News.
"When she brought it [the burger] back out, Arianna said 'Oh, thank you! You brought me a fixed cheeseburger.' She sat there and looked at it and said 'Oh I missed you,' and kissed it over and over again," her older sister said.
MacLean, 25, responded in true twentysomething-style, taking a quick picture of little Arianna kissing the cheeseburger and sending it to Facebook in a an update with the Chili's anecdote.
The "broken cheeseburger" picture is currently liked by more than 600,000 people and has been shared by well over 100,000.
