The 190SL was introduced in 1955 - the year Mercedes swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300SLR. Indeed, the graceful, new two-door, convertible grand tourer was sold alongside the road-going version of the SLR - the 300SL - whose styling it strongly resembled. In fact, the underpinnings of the two cars were quite different and, while the 300SL had a purpose-built tubular spaceframe (W198), its smaller sibling was built on a shortened version of the 'Ponton' saloon (W121) platform, which was of monocoque construction.
The 190SL also boasted an all-new engine - an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1897cc that produced some 120bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car to a maximum speed of 112mph. The engine was coupled to a manual four-speed gearbox operated by a lever between the seats. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and a coil-sprung swing axle at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking by power-assisted drums all round.
Built to the highest standards and among the quickest comparable cars of the time, the 190SL featured a well-appointed cockpit, notable comfort for its occupants and relatively generous luggage space. Under the circumstances, even the steep asking price of £2,693 did nothing to deter purchasers.
The convertible could be ordered with or without a removable hard top. There was also the option of a third seat that was placed transversely behind the front ones and big enough to carry an adult. The 190SL continued in production until 1963, when both it and the 300SL were replaced by the 230SL. By this time over 25,000 190SLs had been built.
The left-hand drive 190SL registration '881 XUU' was built in 1957. Its coachwork is finished in black and its interior trimmed in red leather. It has apparently spent most of its life in a rust free environment and six years ago became the subject of a major restoration, when $15,000 was said to have been spent on the engine alone. The work included: overhauling the head and short block; the fitting of a new clutch, radiator and fuel pump; the refurbishing of the twin-choke Solex carburettors by a German specialist, the reconditioning of the generator and much more.
At the same time, many chrome parts were refinished, including those relating to: the locks, the dashboard, the engine, the doors, boot and seats. A further $3,200 was apparently spent on the Becker audio system, which was completely renovated. New clear sun visors were fitted and all the leather items recovered. New German carpet was installed in both the passenger compartment and the boot. The fog lights and trailer hitch (both understood to be rare options) were attended to. The soft and hard tops were restored.
Further work has been carried out recently, including the execution of an extensive service and the fitting of two new tyres. A distance of some 500 miles has subsequently been driven by way of a thorough health check and the vendor tells us he believes that "everything is as it should be". Furthermore, he describes the coachwork as "near concours", the paintwork as "very good" the engine as being "without any known problems", the gearbox as "excellent" and the interior trim to be "as new". The car is MOT'd until the end of October.
The Mercedes 190SL was a class act, its combination of grace and pace far outstripping anything offered in America or Britain at the time. Good ones are inevitably sought after and their prices rising. As they rarely come to auction these days, '881 XUU' represents a good opportunity to purchase an example of German engineering at its best.

The extent of my baking knowledge up until now has been to follow the instructions on the back of the ready mix boxes. Come along with Shae and myself as we embark on a six week baking challenge where we push our comfort zones and try baking recipes we have never done before!
Week 2 – Baked Alaska
Think of an ice cream dessert. Now set it on fire. That is the magic of baked alaska! Baked Alaska consists of three main parts, a cake base, an ice cream core, and a meringue shell. The meringue shell helps to insulate the cold ice cream inside so you can do dramatic baking acts such as taking a blow torch to it, pouring flaming alcohol on top of it, or even pulling an ice cream dessert out of the oven!
The recipe that we followed was here, but I wouldn’t recommend it because the cake base was way too sweet. It was basically fudge, so if that is what you like then go for it, but next time we make baked Alaska I will opt for a less sugary base.
So let’s get baking shall we! We spread it out over two days. The ice cream needs time to freeze hard if it has any hope of surviving the heating process.
Shae started by mixing up the cake batter. Frugal Boy was content getting the chocolate mixing bowl leftovers.
I had the really hard job. I lined a metal mixing bowl with plastic wrap and then dumped a half gallon of store bought strawberry ice cream into it. By pressing the ice cream down into the bowl it made a nice dome shape. Once the cake was finished baking and had cooled, we simply flipped the ice cream on top of it and stuck the whole thing back in the freezer to keep cold.
That night we set about making the meringue. There are different meringues, French, Swiss, Italian, and so forth. Meringues are to my knowledge all made with egg whites and sugar. The difference is how and when you combine those ingredients. We opted to use a Swiss meringue. Swiss meringue is pasteurized, so it is completely safe from salmonella. To make up the meringue, you combine your egg whites and sugar in a mixing bowl over a pot of steaming water. The steam will pasteurize the egg whites, and the sugar in the mixture will keep the eggs from turning into scrambled whites. The next step tricked us up a couple of times. You need to beat the mixture a lot. Beating the mixture adds air and that air gives it a billowy, fluffy, white appearance. The egg whites puff up, and the sugar gives it stability so it doesn’t immediately collapse down. The trick with Swiss meringue is that since the sugar is added from the get go, it is very difficult to beat in air. Our first attempt used a hand mixer and after 10 minutes or so it was still a runny mess. Our second attempt we got out the stand mixer and just let it run on high speed with a whisk attachment. Eventually the meringue will firm up and hold stiff peaks.
Using a ziplock bag with the corner cut off, I piped on meringue to cover and insulate the ice cream.
Unfortunately, I ran out of meringue before I finished, so I had to stick the cake back in the freezer while I made up a 3rd batch. You can see how the ice cream had already started to melt a bit just from the short time of being out!
The next day we were ready to finish up our baked Alaska. Here it was before the dramatic finale.
Armed with a propane torch, I caramelized the meringue.
Here is the finished product. The ice cream survived the blow torch!
This dessert is very good, but also very rich. I kind of wish that we had made it when company was around so they could help eat it. Having a flaming alcohol presentation would be very grandiose and perfect for a birthday or other special occasion.
All in all, baked Alaska is a fairly simple dessert to whip up because you can cheat quite a bit with store bought ice cream and even a store bought cake mix. I would like to experiment with a key lime pie styled baked Alaska. Perhaps a graham cracker type crust/base with a lime flavored ice cream.
Next week, some sort of savory quick bread.

I admit I had reservations at first. Only water to completely up? But boy achieved it work! Don't confuse recommendation if handling ground in coffee stains on say a deep pile shag rug, or truly wicked dirt on a couch or something. We used water for quick everyday regarding messes like spilled orange juice, soda or those long cram sessions brimming with greasy Good Chinese Food Restaurants dripping in soy sauce. Seldom are stains as sticky stubborn as dried soy sauce, but our water spray bottles blasted away the gooey soy nicely.
My favorite places associated with mall are the Coffee Bean cafe (originating in Los Angeles, CA) for breakfast (awesome egg club sandwich with salad and the lattes on mall). For lunch, one of the several Indian restaurants at Signatures food court (mutton masala, daal, a side order of veggies and nan and a coke - yum!), and then for dinner either The Dome or one of the Thai or Japanese restaurants in highgate on suggestions floor. With regard to the quick latte, I love the al fresco cafes outside next to the park - The Dome is particularly nice.

DIXIE the fly-away macaw who caused a flap when he landed in Coventry has been reunited with his owner - and his mate.
He is now back at Tropical Bird Land in Desford, near Leicester, only hours after his worried owner warned that he would starve to death if he wasn't found.
As reported in the Telegraph on Thursday, Dixie flew in for a visit to Townshends Solicitors in Coventry city centre. He was seen by staff sitting on top of a lamp-post by the railway station squawking at passers-by.
On Tuesday, his owner Richard Hopper, who runs Tropical Bird Land, said the bird would starve to death in the wild if it wasn't captured.
He said: "He can't see very well ... he's going to be getting very hungry and with his disability he can't find food, so it's very worrying."
Now though, thanks to the RSPCA and the Petsearch charity, Dixie is safely back where he belongs - reunited with his mate who Mr Hopper describes as "the boss" of the relationship.
Polly Evans, a Corley-based volunteer with Petsearch, said: "We had a call from a firm of solicitors in Coventry - not Townshends - and one of their clerks said she had managed to lock Dixie in a garage.
"The RSPCA then came to pick him up and, eventually, I took a call from a friend of Mr Hopper and I was able to tell him that the bird had been found and was safe and well.
"He is now back at Bird Land with his mate, so it's a happy ending."

Telecom operators and smaller internet providers rely on data centers to support their operations. These data centers allow the carriers to offer IP, mobile and/or fixed networks by housing the equipment needed to offer various services to subscribers.
The outside plant infrastructure of telecom data centers connects the central office and customer premises. Switching equipment is located near outside plant cables and switches home and business customers to various services. The computing equipment of a telecom data center is located in its IT room.
In many cases, these IT rooms combine legacy systems with modern applications to ensure continuity while keeping operational costs down. As a result, flexible cabling alternatives are needed to support the many different services and equipment generations present in the network.
IT room cabling is mostly organised according to the ANSI/TIA-942 or ISO/IEC TS 22237 standard, with the cabling areas arranged into distribution areas, equipment areas, the backbone and horizontal cabling systems.
Although a large number of variables apply when defining the IT room cabling for a telecom service provider, one factor is consistent across the globe: bandwidth demand, port density and power consumption are constantly increasing while latency is expected to be kept as low as possible.
HUBER+SUHNER fiber optic solutions allow telecom operators to deploy IT room infrastructures that are capable of delivering high performance while simultaneously reducing operating costs. These solutions support a high fiber count, low optical loss and are easy to scale. Installation and operation are enhanced, reducing the risk of fiber disruption or attenuations. Modularity allows flexible configurations, including when splitters and xWDMs are needed.
With HUBER+SUHNER fiber optic solutions, IT rooms operate at the best performance.

This 1937 Austin is a Low Loading taxi with “Fishtail” bodywork that was ordered new by Syms Garage of London, England, and first registered on December 10, 1937. It was acquired by the seller in 2017 and subsequently refurbished. The car is finished in yellow with blue accents over blue upholstery, and power comes from a 134ci Willys F-head inline-four paired with a Borg-Warner T-90 three-speed manual transmission. Features include a Landaulette roof, a roof rack, fare meter, central partition, reverse-opening rear doors, and a cherry wood dash panel. This Austin taxi is now offered with the removed engine and transmission, spare parts, copies of historical documentation, and a clean Delaware title in the seller’s name.
The Austin London Taxicab was introduced in 1930 and utilized a 12/4 sedan chassis that had been modified to meet Scotland Yard’s Conditions of Fitness for London taxis. This example is one of the later Low Loading models that rode approximately 7” lower than previous iterations due in part to the introduction of a worm-drive rear axle.
This example wears “Fishtail” coachwork by Jones Bros. of London and is said to have been disassembled and media blasted before receiving bodywork, new wood components, and a repaint in yellow with blue accents. The roof was covered in Rhino Liner before a new landaulette roof with a modified larger window was fitted. Additional features include a roof rack with white oak slats, a “For Hire” sign, chrome bumpers, dual taillights, turn signals, oak running boards, a fare meter, a 1937 London registration tag, and reverse-opening rear doors.
The 20″ wheels are mounted with Lister front and Firestone rear bias-ply tires that were installed during the refurbishment. A matching spare wheel and tire are mounted behind a bottom-hinged panel out back. Braking is handled mechanically operated drums at all four corners.
The right-hand-drive cabin features a single seat trimmed in blue upholstery. Cherry wood dash panels were installed during the refurbishment, and instrumentation includes a 60-mph Smiths speedometer, a fuel-level gauge, a combination oil pressure and water temperature gauge, and a voltmeter. New wiring and a fuse holder were reportedly installed during the refurbishment. The car is not equipped with an odometer, and approximately 300 miles were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The rear cabin features a bench seat and twin jumpseats trimmed in blue upholstery. Reproduction period advertisements are fitted on the jumpseat bottoms, and a reproduction fare table is mounted by the right-rear door.
The replacement 134ci Willys F-head inline-four is said to have been rebuilt and installed during the refurbishment. Work performed reportedly included the installation of new seals and gaskets, a water pump, spark plugs, ignition components, a rebuilt single-barrel carburetor, a 60-amp alternator, and a high torque starter. The vacuum system is inoperable. The removed 1.8-liter Austin inline-four and manual transmission are included in the sale and can be seen in the gallery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Borg-Warner T-90 three-speed manual transmission that was reportedly sourced from an International Harvester Scout. A new fuel tank was also installed during the refurbishment.

Instead of Ortiz at designated hitter the Red Sox will start A.J. Pierzynski at DH (and in the cleanup spot) against the Braves.

Kerry Packer was notorious for losing millions of dollars on the gaming tables of the world. But since his father's death in 2005, James Packer has been making far bigger, billion-dollar bets, building and buying casinos around the world. And so far every one has lost.
The total damage to Mr Packer and his shareholders in Crown Limited, according to tonight's ABC1's Four Corners, comes to nearly $2 billion. The bulk of this money, around $1.3 billion, was lost in Las Vegas, but there have also been setbacks in Canada, the UK, Russia, Singapore and Macau.
All Mr Packer's bets in Las Vegas were made between May and December 2007, at a time when America's sub-prime mortgage disaster was already under way and the global financial crisis was brewing.
It was in July 2007 that two Bear Stearns hedge funds in New York went spectacularly bust.
So how smart was it to be buying back then? "It wasn't smart," says Randy Fine, who runs Fine Point Group, a leading casino consulting firm in Las Vegas.
"It was a good time to be receiving the billions of dollars. I don't think it was a good time to be handing out the billions of dollars.
"He [James Packer] bought at the peak, there's no question about that. He wasn't the only one though. Many others got beaten up pretty deeply as well."
Mr Packer's and Crown's biggest bet, worth $2.7 billion when it was made in December 2007, was to buy Cannery Casino Resorts, which owns three suburban casinos in Las Vegas and one in Pennsylvania. Announced just as the markets began to slide, it was seen to be expensive even then.
So was it ever a good deal? "No," says Randy Fine bluntly.
But it soon got much worse.
In January 2008 Las Vegas was hit by the worst downturn in its history, which has seen revenues on the Strip decline for 19 months in row. The city now has the highest home foreclosure rate in the USA, one of the steepest declines in house prices, and one of the highest rates of unemployment, with one in eight people out of work.
In March 2009, the Cannery deal had to be canned at a cost of almost $500 million. But it would have been worse had the purchase gone ahead. By then, shares in Las Vegas casino companies had fallen, on average, by almost 90 per cent. And some of the biggest operators, like Las Vegas Sands and MGM, were on the brink of bankruptcy.
So, too, were some of the other companies and projects Mr Packer and Crown had invested in.
Station Casinos, the largest suburban casino operator in Las Vegas, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this year, forcing Crown to write off its entire $242 million investment.
Crown's $172 million investment in Harrah's, the world's largest casino company, which owns Caesar's Palace and Paris Vegas, has also been written off, even though Harrah's has so far managed to stay solvent.
Mr Packer's and Crown's 20 per cent investment in the new $US2.9 billion Fontainebleau Las Vegas has also come unstuck.
The company building the huge luxury resort at the run-down north end of the Las Vegas Strip went bankrupt in June after its bankers pulled the plug.
The half-finished shell, which will take an estimated $US1.5 billion to complete, is now up for sale. Once again, Packer and Crown have written off their entire $333 million investment.
So why did it all go wrong? Blame the global financial crisis. Fewer people are now coming to Vegas and those who come are spending less, so winnings and hotel revenues have fallen by 20 per cent. But blame the casino and apartment developers, too.
Just about everyone was betting that revenues would continue to rise as they have done for the last 20 years. And they were backing these debts by borrowing billions of dollars to build new resorts or take over companies. And they now can't pay the interest.
James Packer was no exception. In buying into Station and Harrah's he and his shareholders were piggybacking on private equity deals which had left these companies owing US$9 billion and US$24.5 billion respectively.
The new US$2.9 billion Fontainebleau Las Vegas resort was also largely debt financed. And Mr Packer's US$5 billion Crown Las Vegas Tower (which never got started) would also have been built on borrowed money.
Now you can buy casinos in Las Vegas for one fifth of what they cost two years ago. Fancy a gamble anyone?

Shear-slip analysis in multiphase fluid-flow reservoir engineering ap plications using
This paper describes and demonstrates the use of the coupled TOUGH-FLAC simulator for geomechanical shear-slip (failure) analysis in multiphase fluid-flow reservoir-engineering applications. Two approaches for analyzing shear-slip are described, one using continuum stress-strain analysis and another using discrete fault analysis. The use of shear-slip analysis in TOUGH-FLAC is demonstrated on application examples related to CO2 sequestration and geothermal energy extraction. In the case of CO2 sequestration, the shear-slip analysis is used to evaluate maximum sustainable CO2-injection pressure under increasing reservoir pressure, whereas in the case of geothermal energy extraction, the shear-slip analysis is used to study induced seismicity during steam production under decreasing reservoir pressure and temperature.

By Leeanna Ellis, Editor, Pilot Tribune and Enterprise —
As the COVID-19 vaccine is distributed, state Sen. Ben Hansen wants to make sure Nebraska residents have a choice.
“I think 2020 was pretty eye opening for me about what our government can mandate, what they can do, what they should or should not do in my opinion,” he said.
While Hansen said he doesn't expect the state to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine, he said he wanted to take a proactive approach, which in part led to his introduction of Legislative Bill 643, which would protect an individual's right to accept or decline a vaccination under a mandatory directive.
The bill isn't against vaccines, Hansen said.
“This is more of a personal liberty issue, so in case something does roll out say two years down the road and we have a different governor or four years and we have something else happen,” he said. “We're just protecting people's individual rights, their parental rights and businesses from being forced to vaccinate themselves or their employees by the government.”
Passage of the bill would not mean businesses couldn't mandate their employees get vaccinated.
“If the hospital says everyone has to get vaccinated or you can't work here, OK, that's their right. It's the employees' right to work there or not too,” Hansen said. “I just don't want the government mandating that they have to. No matter how good or bad the vaccine is, it's just a matter of choice and liberty.”
Hansen announced his plans to introduce the bill on his Facebook page on Jan. 16 and received overwhelming support on the issue. Hansen said he was also encouraged by the support he has received from his fellow senators.
“This isn't a Democrat or Republican thing really,” he said. “It's more of a liberty issue.”
The bill has been referred to the Health and Human Services Committee, which Hansen serves on.
Hansen also introduced a bill imposing stiffer penalties on elected officials who violate directed health measures they enact.
Hansen said LB 645 would target governors and mayors. He used California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has been photographed unmasked and in close quarters with a large number of people at a dinner party, as an example. Newsom issued a mask mandate for California in June.
“We're trying to read the tea leaves and just make sure we hold the right people accountable,” Hansen said. “If you're going to make a directed health measure that can affect the livelihood of business owners, put them out of business or the ability for people to feed their family, but then you go ahead and break that (measure), I think there should be an enhanced fine for that person signing that.”
Criminal penalties would go up one classification for a violation, while fines would triple the amount otherwise set.
Other bills Hansen introduced included:
• LB 435: Require an official watermark on certain ballots under the Election Act. This would add another layer of protection to maintain the integrity of the election, Hansen said.
“This is just one measure we can take to give people confidence in the people they elect. If we lose confidence in the people we elect, we lose confidence in the laws that they make. If we lose confidence in the laws they make, a lot of times we don't follow them because we don't think they are real laws and then that can lead to issue we don't want to go down,” he said.
• LB 173: Change provisions relating to carrying a concealed weapon.
• LB 296: Change provisions regarding access to patient records for Department of Health and Human Services institutions.
• LB 301: Change drug schedules and penalties and adopt federal drug provisions under the Uniform Controlled Substances Act.
• LB 436: Change provisions of the Athletic Training Practice Act.
• LB 437: Change provisions relating to public assistance and medicaid fraud.
• LB 581: Change motorcycle, moped and autocycle helmet provisions.
• LB 644: Adopt the Property Tax Request Act.

Opening Reception: Creative Expression Workshops exhibit
Dubuque’s Gallery C — Friday, August 1 at 6 p.m.
Creative Expression Workshops, a non-profit art program that helps people with special needs find vehicles for self-expression, is hosting a reception this Friday at Dubuque’s Gallery C featuring student artwork. Program directors will conduct discussions throughout the reception in an effort to raise awareness about the challenges facing these students and their families.
This past Tuesday’s workshop was held in Studio Works in the Millwork District of Dubuque. Students were introduced to abstract art with a brief demo, after which they all took part in making a collaborative painting. All fourteen students lined up and waited until it was their turn to add a few brushstrokes to the group painting. The students then spent the remainder of the workshop making their own paintings.
The results of Tuesday’s workshop were diverse — a few students slathered on paint with their palette knifes, while others used their brushes to apply patches of color.
Mary Ellen Jensen founded the program two years ago in an effort to connect people with special needs throughout the community. Since then, Creative Expression Workshops has fostered a safe learning environment for students to communicate their thoughts and feelings. Their workshops continue to operate thanks to the generous support of the public. All classes are taught pro-bono, and as the program doesn’t yet have a home base, they rely on local businesses to provide venues for conducting their classes.
All of these paintings along with a few pieces from earlier workshops (talking sticks, dream catchers, fairy gardens and portraits) will be exhibited at Dubuque’s Gallery C this Friday, August 1 from 6-9pm. The Creative Expression Workshops program gives students the opportunity to enroll in a wide variety of classes: arts and crafts, fine arts, music, poetry and yoga.

There’s never a wrong time to watch a steamy thriller from years past, but with so many streaming platforms offering a dizzying catalog of choices, sometimes selecting a movie can take up the whole night. Let your Wealth of Geeks fam help. Here are the ten thrillers streaming on HBO Max right now that you need to be watching.
The Bodyguard (1992)
An obsessive fan stalks superstar Rachel Marron, played by Whitney Houston in her acting debut. What’s not to love? Musical numbers, slow-motion heroism, and a legitimately spooky chase sequence in the woods. There’s also a sibling subplot that is to die for. Although panned by critics at this time, this movie blends fun entertainment with likable characters to make for a lovely evening in. And Houston’s performance is a classic. I only wish this movie was remade as frequently as A Star Is Born.
Okay, yes, for some of us it is still too soon to watch a film from the nineties about an airborne virus that threatens to destroy the world. I get it. But for those of you brave enough to take a deep dive into this thriller starring Dustin Hoffman, Absolute Queen Rene Russo, and Morgan Freeman, you will be rewarded. What’s nice about this film is that it shows a level of respect for what the CDC does that might have seemed a touch unrealistic twenty-seven years ago. And if you can get past the light misogyny of the film – Hoffman’s character takes control of the decision-making even though Rene Russo’s character has a higher position – it’s a pretty compelling watch.
Dirty Harry (1971)
I was wrong about this Neo-noir thriller all along. I mistakenly believe the Clint Eastwood-led crime film was about a renegade, antihero cop. Maybe time has softened this film or maybe I have less patience for bureaucracy, but at most, Eastwood’s Inspector Callahan is a grumpy pug. He takes the jobs no one else wants, he has no time for incompetence, and the way humanity continues to let him down leaves him feeling exhausted all the time. One global pandemic later we are all Clint Eastwood. His antagonist is the Scorpio killer who is – surprise, surprise – modeled after the real-life Zodiac killer which adds a level of fright to what might otherwise be a traditional action film.
American Gigolo (1980)
Undoubtedly the steamiest on our list, American Gigolo at times feels like a Jackie Collins novel. Richard Gere plays a high-end escort who gets embroiled in a murder case, and before he knows it, he’s the prime suspect. Gay pimps! A rich politician’s wife! Full frontal male nudity! This movie basically has everything. It also features the debut of the highly successful Blondie song “Call Me.”
This bio-pic dances around the thriller sub-genre, but what really solidifies its suspense status is our main character’s obsession with murder and tragedy, oftentimes mirroring our own relationship with today’s 24-hour – mostly grim – news cycle. For his performance as famed and eccentric author Truman Capote, Philip Seymour Hoffman won the Academy Award for Best Actor. The film explores Capote’s personal and professional life as he researches and eventually writes his famed nonfiction novel In Cold Blood, what was then – in 1966 – the first of its kind.
A Time to Kill (1996)
The early to mid-nineties were chock full of John Grisham film adaptations (and this is not the only entry on our list), but what sets A Time to Kill apart from other legal thrillers is its relevance twenty-six years later, as racial injustices permeate our legal system and our daily lives. While Grisham’s efforts may have shed light on inequalities in the south, they also showed we still have a long way to go.
The star-packed cast features Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew McConaughey, and chameleon-like actress Brenda Fricker, who may have won an Academy Award for her turn in My Left Foot, but will probably be best remembered from her performance as that bird lady in Home Alone 2. Not all parts of this film have aged perfectly. It gets a little White Savior-y. For all the work Sandra Bullock and Samuel L. Jackson do, it’s McConaughey’s Jake Brigance who takes center stage as the hero of our journey. You could remake the film today and completely excise the role of Brigance and let Sandra Bullock take a bigger role. Is she free? Let’s make that happen.
Sleeping with the Enemy (1991)
America’s Sweetheart Julia Roberts gives a gripping performance in this tale of a battered wife who fakes her death to escape her abusive husband, only to have him go looking for her. While part of this film feel too easy, it’s a legitimately captivating film, and following her roles in Mystic Pizza and Steel Magnolias, it’s exciting to watch Roberts soar in a thriller so early in her career. For those who enjoyed the 2020 remake of The Invisible Man, Sleeping with the Enemy is a light and entertaining complement.
Magnum Force (1973)
The first sequel to Dirty Harry, this entry finds our disgruntled detective on the hunt to stop a killer who is only targeting San Francisco’s most untouchable criminals. Eastwood’s Inspector Callahan realizes the calls are coming from inside the house, and that someone on the police force has taken their love of justice too far. This lacks the scares of a Zodiac-like killer, but our Big Bad brings the tension. Eastwood is supported by a worthy cast including Hal Holbrook and David Soul. Like its predecessor, Magnum Force doesn’t offer any great roles for women. I am told Tyne Daley is in the next one, so here’s hoping those sexist practices dwindle as the series progresses.
This action thriller directed by Guillermo del Toro may get a little bit icky… it’s about a mutant strain of creepy crawlies after all, but a star turn performance by Mira Sorvino makes this nineties flick worth the watch. Sorvino’s Dr. Susan Tyler creates the Judas Breed – a hybrid termite and mantis – to eradicate a deadly virus in New York City that is carried by the city’s most resilient residents: cockroaches. Sometime later, Tyler learns her Judas Breed survived its life expectancy, and now haunts the NYC subway system. She descends into the subway system to defeat her own creation. Sorvino is joined by a great cast including Jeremy Northam, Josh Brolin, and Charles S. Dutton. If you’re squeamish, just know for a bug thriller, this one isn’t as bad as some others.
The Pelican Brief
Our second John Grisham adaptation on this list, The Pelican Brief is a two and a half-hour thriller that finds Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington trying to stay alive long enough to expose a massive legal coverup. When it was first released in 1993, the film faced criticism for its length, but I didn’t mind it at all. The tension kept me wrapped up in what was happening on screen, and I genuinely never knew which direction this movie would go in next. Cover-ups and conspiracy theories will always be a part of our political discourse, but it’s exciting to see it played out here, where you can, at times, believe the good guys have a shot.

Trump DOJ to resume federal death penalty after 16-year break, schedules five executions – AG Barr
US Attorney General William Barr has announced that the federal death penalty will be restored after a 16-year lapse and said the executions of five death-row inmates have been scheduled.
In a statement on Thursday, the US Department of Justice said steps are being taken to clear the way for the federal government to resume capital punishment, “bringing justice to victims of the most horrific crimes.”
The federal death penalty is rare compared to executions carried out by state governments, but US President Donald Trump is known to be a fan of the death penalty, suggesting last year that it should be brought back “into vogue.”
“The Justice Department upholds the rule of law – and we owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system,” Barr said in the statement.
The statement names five federal death-row individuals whose executions have been scheduled for December 2019 and January 2020, including Daniel Lewis Lee, a member of a white supremacist group who murdered a family of three, including an eight-year-old girl.
The last federal execution was in 2003. Only three federal prisoners have been executed since the death penalty was reinstated for federal crimes in 1988.— Greg Stohr (@GregStohr) July 25, 2019
The federal government has not executed death-row inmate for 16 years – and Trump’s predecessor Barack Obama had ordered a broad review of capital punishment during his last term, including into issues and controversies surrounding the lethal injection.
Just days ago, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden – vice president under Obama – said he would scrap the federal death penalty if elected. Biden announced his new opposition to the death penalty citing 160 instances in which people have been executed but later exonerated.Also on rt.com Ohio puts child killer to death with controversial lethal injection drug
The last federal execution took place in 2003 – and there are currently 62 people on federal death row, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.
The DOJ statement said additional executions “will be scheduled at a later date.”

Arnal, 52, joined Bed, Bath & Beyond in 2020, following stints with Procter & Gamble (PG) – Get Procter & Gamble Company (The) Report and Avon, and was named in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that alleged he had regulated the sale of Bed, Bath & Beyond stock for company executives, and conspired to keep prices inflated.
“I wish to extend our sincerest condolences to Gustavo’s family. Gustavo will be remembered by all he worked with for his leadership, talent and stewardship of our Company. I am proud to have been his colleague, and he will be truly missed by all of us at and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him,” said Harriet Edelman, who chairs the group’s board of directors. “Our focus is on supporting his family and his team and our thoughts are with them during this sad and difficult time. Please join us in respecting the family’s privacy.”
Bed, Bath & Beyond shares were marked 16% lower in pre-market trading to indicate an opening bell price of $7.25 each.
Last week, the struggling home retailer said it plans to raise an undisclosed amount of capital from the sale of common stock as it moves to capitalize on a 140% surge in the company’s share price over the past month while adding to its thinning overall liquidity.
The group also unveiled a new $500 million loan agreement, as well as plans to close around 150 stores and slash overall expenses to around $250 million, as part of its closely-tracked turnaround plans under interim CEO Sue Gove.
Shares in the group had rallied around 350% from their mid-June lows amid a resurgence in interest from retail investors, but plunged more than 40% over the month of August as activist investor Ryan Cohen dumped his entire stake in the group, netting around $60 million from the Reddit-powered rally.
Securities & Exchange Commission filings suggest Arnal sold around 55,000 shares between August 16 and August 17, just one day before Cohen’s first sale of 5 million shares was made public on August 18. The stock fell 40.5% on August 19.

In a Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors meeting on Thursday, members were joined by Marty Marbry with the State Department of Tourism, who validated the economic impact of the June 2022 event. With approximately 13,000 in attendance and the average person spending $254 during the four day festival, the total economic impact was $2,568,500.
“The State Department has made significant progress in building formulas and taking out the guesswork involved with these numbers,” she commented. “We look at the numbers in three categories, the locals, the regional people who did not require lodging, and those that came to town and needed a place to stay.”
These numbers are validated by both state and local resources. One local retailer said that they experienced roughly 700 transactions per day and that the average person spent $27. 1 out of 20 of those transactions were new customers. Another business saw an 11% increase Friday and 35% increase on Saturday in their business, with the average person spending $16.
A downtown business noted speaking to customers from Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and Mississippi on Saturday. They said their average receipt was $74.
One restaurant in town saw a 40% increase in traffic with an average ticket being $65. Another restaurant at the lake was nearly at capacity with the average person spending $55. They noted there was a line at the door the moment it opened and that turned the restaurant 4 or 5 times.
“Often we get in the weeds of trying to fix things. We look at the little details and imperfections, and honestly...they drive me crazy, but this validates what we do and that the event is making a difference in our local economy,” added Travis McLeese, Chamber CEO. “We had over 300 responses to our survey and have worked tirelessly to evaluate the changes and feedback we are receiving. 2023 is going to be big! Get ready!”
The data in the report shows that on average locals who attended Tennessee River Jam spend $82.50, attendees who travel but do not require lodging spend $198 and those who attend from out of town and need lodging spend $484. Other data shows that attendees traveled from 21 different states to attend the four-day festival.
“I attended the whole festival this year, and I saw the license plates, I saw the lines at restaurants and in businesses,” Marbry added. “This was my second time to attend and I am impressed. Not only do you have an event that is being noticed statewide, you are doing it in a rural area, with limited resources! I commend everyone involved for their efforts!”


Bobby is correct. You will want to make sure you install them in parallel configuration...or you will end up with a 24 or 36 volt system depending on how many batteries you decide to install.
Think of it like a small radio which requires six volts to operate and if you install the AA bateries according to the directions (pos + to neg -) you will total the six volts required to power that radio.
Same principle here. If you wire pos + of one battery to the neg - of the next and so on until you hook up to the electrical system, you will had added the output of each battery to the next. Thus being larger than the required 12 volt
dc. If you wire the bateries in parallel...pos + to pos+ and neg - to neg - ... you will have only increased the total "holding" capacity for providing 12 VDC to your system.

Lobbyist helped draft Harkin letters to Interior
Associated Press Writer
As Sen. Tom Harkin drafted letters to the Bush administration on behalf of an Iowa tribe, he had no shortage of ideas for wording: A tribal lobbyist who donated to the Democrat's campaign suggested language for him to use.
Harkin wrote at least three letters in 2003 pressing the government to release federal money to help the Sac & Fox tribe in his state cope with the temporary closing of its casino due to a tribal dispute, according to Interior Department documents obtained by The Associated Press and records provided by Harkin's office.
In doing so, Harkin accepted input from Sac & Fox lobbyist Michael D. Smith, a member of Jack Abramoff's tribal lobbying team at the Greenberg Traurig law firm. Smith met with the senator and also offered suggestions for the letters, Harkin spokeswoman Allison Dobson said.
"Absolutely, he did contribute to those letters," Dobson said, adding that she wasn't sure what Smith's suggestions were. Harkin also met with lobbyists on the other side of the dispute, she said.
Harkin is among dozens of members of Congress who wrote letters that benefited tribal clients of Abramoff's lobbying team while collecting political contributions from Abramoff, his clients or his lobbying associates.
The Justice Department is examining the proximity of donations to congressional action as part of its investigation of Abramoff's activities. The Senate Indian Affairs Committee, while investigating allegations that Abramoff cheated the tribes out of tens of millions of dollars, has steered clear of examining specific members of Congress.
The letters to the Interior Department and National Indian Gaming Commission between June and November 2003 came as Harkin's campaign and political action committee harvested donations from Smith and Greenberg Traurig tribal clients.
Harkin twice used Abramoff's skybox for fundraisers _ once in 2002 and again in 2003 _ without reimbursing. He also collected $17,000 from Smith and other Abramoff-related sources in 2003. The Sac & Fox gave $4,000 more to Harkin in 2004, about six months after the federal government allowed the tribe's casino to reopen.
Dobson said a recent audit found Harkin should have reimbursed for the skybox, and he did so this fall. As for the timing of the fundraising help and letters, "I'm telling you there is no nexus," she said.
"The basic gist is Sen. Harkin wrote these letters and worked on this issue because over 1,300 Meskwaki people and Iowans were out of work," Dobson said. "This was a very dire situation for the community."
Abramoff spokesman Andrew Blum declined to comment on the Harkin letters.
Abramoff routinely billed at least one of his clients, the Northern Mariana Islands, for time he spent drafting letters for members of Congress, invoices the islands' government provided the AP under an open records request show.
James Pendleton, a spokesman for Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., didn't see anything unusual in the Abramoff team's suggestions for congressional correspondence.
"It's not uncommon for lobbyists to provide detail points for letters in any office on the Hill," Pendleton said.
He said he didn't know whether Abramoff or his team offered phrasing for a February 2002 letter Burns and Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., sent the Senate Appropriations Committee urging long-term funding of an Indian school construction program that tribes represented by Abramoff were seeking. They mentioned an Abramoff client, the Mississippi Choctaw tribe, in the letter.
While senators often get suggestions from lobbyists for phrasing, they try to put things in their own words, Pendleton said: "I think it ends up being a combination of both."

(ETX Daily Up) – Elitist, old-fashioned, old-fashioned… Prejudices about classical music die hard. However, it is a musical genre that continues to renew itself in the hope of rallying a younger audience. It seems that he found it on social networks, and more specifically on YouTube.
At least that’s what the first says. report annual report from Epidemic Sound, a Swedish company that offers easy access to more than 35,000 royalty-free compositions. We discover that the use of classic songs on YouTube has increased by 90% in the last twelve months. Classical music would thus be the musical genre that experienced the strongest growth among content creators in 2022.
But what is due to this renewed interest in the compositions of Mozart, Beethoven or even Schubert? To their timelessness. Indeed, the expression “classical music” refers, itself, to the idea of non-contemporaneity. The works belonging to this musical repertoire seem to cross the ages, unlike certain songs which remain associated with a very specific era. These pieces also have the advantage of transmitting a wide range of emotions, and therefore of being able to serve as a soundtrack for many contents. The classical repertoire is used in humorous and educational videos as well as decryptions on current events or fashion, according to the report “Sound of the Internet”. Youtuber Cecilia Blomdahl uses classic tunes to share her life in the Svalbard archipelago, located halfway between the North Pole and mainland Norway, to her 491,000 subscribers. “[La musique classique] can be both melancholic and joyful depending on the footage, so this kind of music fits really well with the feeling that I want to evoke in my videos,” she said.Demystifying classical music
Musicians such as Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen and Hampus Naeselius particularly benefit from this enthusiasm for “scholarly” music. The Swedes are the composers of classical music whose tracks have been used in the most YouTube videos this year, according to Epidemic Sound. Trevor Kowalski, Megan Wofford and Franz Gordon are also on the list.
What arouse vocations for Oscar Höglund, CEO of Epidemic Sound. “I expect more and more content creators to use classical music in their videos, which will allow classical artists to continue to modernize the genre and attract new audiences,” he said. . This renewed interest in the classical repertoire is not limited to YouTube. It is equally prominent on TikTok, the favorite app of younger generations. The #classicalmusic hashtag has over 2.3 billion views on the platform. It also appears in a rehearsal video of trumpet player Ibrahim Maalouf and in another where a user cuts pumpkin seeds into tiny strips. Again, classical music is versatile.
If this misuse can annoy purists, it has the merit of encouraging young TikTok users to discover a musical genre too often described as “has been”. To discover it and enjoy it. Indeed, the under 35s turned massively to the classical repertoire during the Covid crisis. Their consumption increased by 17% between April 2019 and April 2020, according to a study produced jointly by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Deezer and the British Phonographic Industry.
A phenomenon of which TikTok is fully aware. The short video platform has partnered with Warner Classics to release, in August, a compilation of the most listened to titles on its application. Except that they have all been redesigned by the German Babelsberg Film Orchestra. Among them are orchestral versions of “Say So” by Doja Cat, “No Roots” by Alice Merton and “Wipe It Down” by BMW Kenny. Something to demystify classical music to the general public.

A dream unifies the body, mind, and spirit. It provides you with insight into ourselves and a means for self-exploration. In understanding your dreams, you will have a better understanding and discovery of your true self.
1Consider the meaning of these common dreams:
- Chasing Dreams Chase dreams may represent your way of coping with fears, stress or various situations in your waking life. Instead of confronting the situation, you are running away and avoiding it.
- Exam/Test Dreams These dreams usually have to do with your self-esteem and confidence or your lack of. You are worried that you are not making the grade and measuring up to other people's expectations of you.
- Falling Dreams You are feeling overwhelmed and out of control in some situation in your waking life. You have lost your foothold and can not hang on or keep up with the hustle and bustle of daily life. When you fall, there is nothing that you can hold on to. You more or less are forced toward this downward motion without any control.
- Flying Dreams Suggests that you are on top of a situation. You have risen above something. It may also mean that you have gained a different perspective on things. You have a new sense of freedom.
- Naked Dreams Becoming mortified at the realization that you are walking around naked in public, is often a reflection of your vulnerability or shamefulness. You may be hiding something and are afraid that others can nevertheless see right through you. Dreaming that you are proud of your nakedness and show no embarrassment or shame, then it symbolizes that you have nothing to hide and are proud of who you are.
- Teeth Dreams One theory is that dreams about your teeth reflect your anxiety about your appearance and how others perceive you. Another is that since you use your teeth to bite, tear, chew, and gnaw, they represent power. The loss of them represents the loss of power.
|This video has interpretations of dreams that are in addition to the ones described in the text steps above.|
- If there is a certain thing in your dream that catches your attention, then search an online dream dictionary.
- Dreams that occur repeatedly are obviously trying to tell you something. Pay special attention to these.
- Daydreams are a totally different topic. Research to learn more about them.
- Beware of urinating in your bed during the night*
- Beware of nightmares.
- Beware of wet dreams. You might just drown yourself!*

Screenplay: The First Ten Pages
MELISSA BERTON, NATHAN CLUM
For grades 10 - 12
The first ten minutes of any great film are the most crucial—in that short time, the film must grab the viewer and pull her or him into the fictional world. In this immersion, each participant will craft the first ten pages of an original screenplay that she or he creates individually. Although the focus is primarily on fleshing out those first ten pages, students will also construct a scene-by-scene breakdown for the entire story arc, developing setting, character and plot, creating conflict, assigning goals and raising stakes, and visualizing scenes and transitions. Participants will spend their days like professional writers: brainstorming story possibilities; researching on the Internet, in libraries, and through community resources; work-shopping their screenplay with classmates; screening, reading and analyzing the first 10 minutes of films such as Adaptation, Birdman, Casablanca, Little Miss Sunshine, Silence of the Lambs, Thelma and Louise and current releases at nearby theaters; and, of course, writing. “Join us for Screenplay 2017—Coming Soon… to an Immersion Near You!”

As I’m planning to start Taiwan guava cultivation in my 10 acre land during june- July, I’m now terrified after seeing few problems in the forum as their plants got effected and they removed plants completely, what measures should I take before purchasing plants (which type of plants are good? Grafted,air layered, cloning,or any other?)
And how much would be cost of each plant
And after purchasing plants which preventive steps I must take before planting.
Aone more question
Cost of fence for 10 acre land

No response from anyone
As of today best variety in Guava VNR Guava (Grafted) , but it costs very high.One plant costs comes around 180 -200 Rs with delivery .
You can accommodate 600- 1800 plants per acre. from 1st year you can get crop and get better results.
Drawback in VNR : this is one is Grafted , we always should cut original plant leaves (branches).
If you don’t want to spend so much money , you can go with clonal plants and each one cost 30 -50 Rs depending on nursery. this one also you can accommodate 600 -1800 plants for acre.
If you want to normal solar fence cost around 5 to 8 Laks. chain link with solar fence cost around 15 to 20 laks ( 6 ft height ).
