IndiGo, the country’s biggest domestic carrier by market share, has conveyed to the aviation ministry that it may order more planes.
“The airline may order up to 80 more planes,” said an aviation ministry official, who did not wish to be named.
The airline had in October said that it would buy 250 new Airbus A320neo planes, the largest single order at Airbus, worth about $25 billion (Rs 1.58 lakh crore).
An IndiGo official, however, denied that the airline was ordering any new planes. “There is nothing new,” the official said.
Officials said with SpiceJet drastically scaling down operations there was enough space for new airlines and existing airlines to bring in more planes.
In 2005, IndiGo had placed an order for 100 Airbus planes, the last of which was recently delivered to the airline. In 2011, it ordered 180 jets, deliveries for which would commence from 2016.

Inspired by a style of cake from California’s Miette bakeries, we frost the top and middle layers of this stunner but leave the sides naked to showcase the almond cake. Don’t have a pastry bag or star tip to frost the layers? Fill a resealable plastic bag with the frosting, snip off a corner, and pipe away.
8 to 12 Servings
frosting and assembly
Three 8”-diameter cake pans with 2” sides; a candy thermometer; a pastry bag; a large star piping tip
Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°. Butter and flour cake pans. Line bottom of pans with parchment-paper rounds; butter paper. Pulse 2½ cups flour and almonds in a food processor until almonds are finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl and whisk in baking powder and salt; set aside.
Combine milk and vanilla in a measuring cup; set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat 2 cups sugar and 1 cup butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 3–4 minutes. Add egg yolks and continue to beat, occasionally scraping down sides and bottom of bowl, until pale yellow and fluffy, 4–5 minutes. Add dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with milk mixture in 2 additions, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. (Do not overmix or cake will dome and be dense.)
Using an electric mixer with clean, dry beaters, whip egg whites in a medium bowl until light and frothy. With mixer running, gradually add remaining ½ cup sugar. Beat meringue until medium peaks form, 3–4 minutes.
Fold ¼ of meringue into batter just until incorporated (this will lighten batter, making it easier to fold in remaining meringue). Gently fold in remaining meringue until fully incorporated. Divide batter evenly among prepared pans. Smooth tops.
Bake cakes, rotating from left to right and top to bottom halfway through, until golden brown and the sides of cakes begin to pull away from pans, 40–45 minutes. Transfer to wire racks. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto racks; peel off parchment and let cool completely.
If needed, use a long serrated knife to trim dome from each cake (about ⅛”) to create a flat surface. DO AHEAD: Cakes can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
Place 2 tsp. cold water in a small bowl; sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 10 minutes.
Whisk lemon juice, sugar, and eggs in a medium metal bowl; place over a large saucepan of simmering water and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens, 5–6 minutes. (Do not allow bottom of bowl to touch the water or mixture will cook too fast and eggs may scramble.)
Remove bowl from heat and transfer mixture to a blender. With blender running, add butter 1 piece at a time until butter is completely incorporated. Add softened gelatin and blend 30 seconds longer.
Transfer lemon curd to a medium bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the curd. Chill until cold and set, 3–4 hours or overnight.
Using an electric mixer, beat chilled cream in another medium bowl until soft peaks form (warm cream will not whip up). Add powdered sugar. Continue to beat until medium peaks form, 2–3 minutes. Whisk curd to loosen; gently fold in whipped cream; set aside. DO AHEAD: Lemon cream can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
frosting and assembly
Bring ¾ cup sugar, salt, and ¼ cup water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cook without stirring until candy thermometer registers 240°, 4–5 minutes.
Meanwhile, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in a medium bowl until light and frothy (be sure to keep a close eye on the sugar syrup). Beat in remaining 2 Tbsp. sugar and cream of tartar.
With mixer running, gradually add hot syrup in a thin stream, allowing syrup to drizzle down side of bowl into egg whites. Beat until egg whites are tripled in volume and meringue is very fluffy, cool, and opaque white, about 12 minutes with a stand mixer and up to 20 minutes with a hand mixer. (Frosting made with a hand mixer may not be as firm as that made with a stand mixer.) Add vanilla and mix 1 minute longer. Use meringue immediately.
Fill a pastry bag fitted with large star tip halfway with prepared meringue.
Place 1 cake layer on a cake stand or platter. Spread ⅓ cup strawberry jam over, leaving a 1” border around edge. Spread ⅓ cup lemon cream over jam, keeping 1” border. Pipe a ring of meringue frosting over 1” border around edge. Place second cake layer atop meringue, pressing slightly to adhere. Repeat process with second cake layer, jam, lemon cream, and meringue. (Cover and chill remaining lemon cream for another use.) Place remaining layer on top. Using offset spatula, generously spread remaining meringue frosting on top layer of cake. Chill up to 4 hours.

With summer and hot weather upon us the grill becomes a favorite way to cook lots of what we eat. Plus, it saves dishes in the kitchen! There is probably not a lot of food that wouldn’t be tasty on the grill. I’ve grilled vegetables, various red meats, fish, poultry, fruit, and even some lettuces. No matter what food you decide to grill there are some basics that will apply.
Depending on your choice of fuel this will be easy or a little more complicated. Depending on what you are going to be cooking, and how you are going to be cooking it you will do different things.
I prefer charcoal, personally, but it is up to you. I know some people have grills with a charcoal section and a gas section. That would be nice for quick grilling sessions on a week night fire up the gas side, and when you have time use the charcoal side. Or if you have people coming over, use both! I have given up lighter fluid, and now use a starter chimney. No more lighter fluid taste! It is easy, and actually pretty fast! You always want to make sure that the coals are ashed over before you start any food. Flames are bad when you are grilling. Flames mean soot, and soot is never good on your food!
Chimney starter loaded with natural chunk charcoal, and lit!
When you grill you have several options for getting heat to your food. You can have direct or indirect heat. Obviously, you can use both in one grilling session, and sometimes that is exactly what is called for. Charcoal grills give you more options, but they can also give you more problems. With a gas grill you can use the burner or burners to control how much heat and where it is. When you are dealing with charcoal you have to place the fire where you want it. Obviously if you want a nice even heat over the entire grill you need to make sure you spread the coals under the grill evenly.
How you distribute the heat will depend on what you are grilling. Certain things require even heat across the entire grill. This category would include sausages (brats, hot dogs, salsiccia…), burgers, fish (fillets and steaks), veggies, fruits, chicken breasts. In other words, small similar sized items should go over direct heat. Indirect heat would be best for larger items or smoking. So, if you wanted to grill a whole chicken, or smoke a boston butt for example you want indirect heat. In the case of the chicken you could sear the skin over the hot part and move it to the cooler part of the grill to cook through, or cook the bird through and then sear the skin on the hot side.
When you are smoking you generally want a lower temperature, and to use indirect heat. I do this by piling all of the coals (and soaked wood chips) at one end of the grill, and then putting the smokee at the other end. I am then able to control the temperature by opening the air vent and the chimney. More air flow will give you a higher temperature, but if you close things up too much you starve the fire of oxygen and you end up killing the fire. So you want to find the point where you have enough heat to cook, but you also want to have the fire low so that you can get nice smoke flavor into the food.
Smoked boston butt after 4 hours in the smoker. That night I used pecan wood chips.
2 Let it warm up!
Before you put food on the grill you want it to get good and hot. This will help the food to not stick. I’m not really sure why this is, but in almost every case you want to put the food on a hot surface rather than a cold one. This will also help keep you from having flames, and it will burn off some crap from the grill.
3 Clean the grill!
Make sure there isn’t a whole bunch of burned crap on the grill. A grill brush will do the trick and it is cheap! This will ensure that all of the crap that was left on the grill the last time and burned on there doesn’t end up in your food. If you think about it it makes sense. You don’t want your grilled pineapples to taste like the chipotle marinated pork chops that you had the other night, do you? Clean the grill! (Having said that, chipotle pineapple might be an interesting combo… if you do it right, spicy and sweet almost always works!)
4 Season your food!
This should be a no brainer, but seasoning your food is always a good thing. In grilling, which is a high heat dry method of cooking, if you have a large piece of meat you should consider brining it. This will help you keep your food more moist. You might also want to consider brining things like shrimp which are easy to over cook. Even if all you use is salt and pepper it will make your food taste better when you get through cooking it. I also like to use various marinades and rubs, depending on the meat and the flavor I want.
5 Leave it alone!
Ok, so here is where things get a little more interesting. Whenever you are cooking and add a piece of high protein food to a hot surface it will stick. This is not a problem, just leave it alone! This happens in a non-stick skillet, it happens in a stainless steel skillet, and it happens on the grill. I’ve seen special foil that you can put on your grill to prevent that from happening. I don’t know why you would do that though. A little vegetable oil on the grill before you put the food on it, or a little cooking spray (Make damn sure you don’t get the baking spray that has flour in it, because that would not be gluten-free!) on the food before you place it on the grill will make it not stick. Since you’re leaving it alone you will not tear up the chicken, or steak or burger. What you will end up with is grill marks! (Just like at your favorite restaurant!)
Make sure you have a little oil on the grill, and place your seasoned food on the grill at a 45 degree angle to the direction of the grill grates, and leave it there! After a couple of minutes with your tongs lift the edge of the food very gently, and if it comes up lift it and turn it 90 degrees. If it doesn’t come up easily, let it sit a little longer. Obviously if you are making a burger you should use a spatula, and the angle that you place it is less important. Closing the lid of your grill will help heat the other side of the food, and speed things up a bit. Once you have turned your food and allowed it to sit a little longer you will have nice grill marks on one side of your food.
The second side will go a bit quicker, but with a large piece of meat the grill marks are less important, because it will take longer to finish cooking. If you have a larger piece of meat and you just want the grill marks you can finish it in the oven, and then return it to the grill to essentially remark it. This is fairly common with things like half chickens. You can do them on the grill from start to finish, but it takes a bit of care to not over cook it or burn the skin. It isn’t hard though.
The burger on the right shows what will happen if you try to flip your food too early. I had it over a cold spot on my grill, oops! The one on the left has some nice grill marks though!
This one is pretty simple! Enjoy the summer, and grilling! There are is almost no limit to what you can grill, and with a little creativity you can really get some great flavors that are much more difficult during the winter, unless you are a serious griller, and then you won’t be hindered by a little snow!

You can get started more easily if you know a list of foods that you can and can’t eat on your keto diet. As a matter of fact, if you have a list of pro-keto diet meals and recipes, it will be easier for you to keep going. In fact, it will make your “keto journey” a lot more enjoyable.
Often, dieters find it hard to determine the amount of food they can eat. You need to consider your body type and weight loss goals to decide on how much you can eat. In the beginning, you may want to prepare a list of foods that can help you with your diet. You can work on the amount later on.
We have divided the keto foods into different categories so you can put together a shopping list for each week. Before you pick an item and drop it into your shopping cart, make sure you read the label to make sure the product is keto friendly.
Although the keto diet won’t put any restrictions on the type of meat you can eat, make sure you stay away from processed meats, such as lunch meat and sausage. The reason is that they contain a lot of unhealthy fat, added flavors, sugars, carbohydrates, and seasonings. If you can, go for uncured items, such as fish and grass-fed beef.
Some types of meat contain a lot of protein. Therefore, it’s better that you always choose fattier cuts to maintain your macros balance and keep yourself in the ketosis state.
It may be news to you that some veggies and fruits are full of carbohydrates. You can add a few healthy vegetables and fruits to your diet, though. Given below is a list of some healthy options that can give you plenty of healthy fiber and lots of vitamins.
Although milk is not a good item on your ketogenic diet, we can at least allow you to have full-fat dairy and cheese. These two products are allowed on a keto diet.
Although the keto diet encourages you to have high-fat foods, you just can’t consume all types of fats. Listed below are a few healthy options that can provide you with a good deal of fat and calories.
Of course, you can enjoy some snacks as well. Although we don’t recommend that you snack while on the keto diet, a little bit of snacking won’t hurt at all. The list of items on the following list can make great snacks.
Sauces and condiments can make your meals taste great. The good news is that most of your delicious toppers and condiments are allowed on the keto diet. Check out a few items on the list below.
You may be wondering if alcohol is allowed on a keto diet. Can you have it? Yes, you can have it. However, make sure you keep your carbs consumption in check and opt for only clear liquors. For instance, if the liquor you want to have tastes sweat, remove it from your diet and check out the better options given below.
You can also opt for a few light bears and wins; however, they have to have lower than 5 carbohydrates per serving. For instance, you can choose any of the items listed below.

North of Broad Street, where the waterfront turns slightly north, was once a small cove where the Duwamish often beached their dugout canoes, sometimes to walk a worn path to the fresh waters of Lake Union. We might doubly call this Eagle Cove, first after Eagle Street that ends here and now also for the Olympic Sculpture Park’s soaring piece of public art, Alexander Calder’s Eagle.
The beach is still exposed in the historical scene, which was photographed from the railroad trestle that first crossed in front of the cove in 1887. Here, modest residences, squatters’ shacks and floating homes are scattered about the two blocks between the beach and Western Avenue, to both sides of Eagle Street. But this ca. 1909 scene is doomed. The Union Oil Co. bought and cleared these blocks to install its first waterfront row of tanks in 1910.
After the fuel facility closed in 1975 these predictably polluted acres were scrubbed and then sold at a bargain price to the Seattle Art Museum and the city. The result is a belated fulfillment of two visions: first, of the Olmsted Brothers’ 1903 description of a Harbor View Park running in part through these blocks, and later of parks commissioner Sol G. Levy’s radical 1951 proposal that much of the central waterfront be ridded of its wharfs and railroads and seeded for a park.

The city got its first central Waterfront Park at the foot of Union Street in 1974, but the greener visions of both the famous Boston brothers and the local Levy are better fulfilled with SAM’s new nine-acre sculpture garden, especially when enjoyed in tandem with Myrtle Edwards Park to the north.

Trump honors fallen officers at Capitol Hill memorial service
President Trump said he stands with law enforcement during the Annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Service on Capitol Hill, an event to honor law enforcement officers who have died on the line of duty.
"Today we renew our solemn oath that we will never forget," Mr. Trump said before sharing a handful of stories of law enforcement officers.
The president had harsh words for criminals who kill police officers, saying they "should immediately with trial get the death penalty." But he also spent much of his speech criticizing the nation's immigration laws, saying they allow illegal immigrants to enter the country and commit crime.
May 15 marks Peace Officers Memorial Day, by a resolution under then-President John F. Kennedy. So far in 2019, more than 40 law enforcement officers have died in the line of duty in the U.S.
"On Peace Officers Memorial Day and throughout Police Week, we express our unending gratitude to our Nation's law enforcement officers. Those brave men and women selflessly confront danger to protect our families and defend our communities. We also honor those in blue who have been killed or disabled in the line of duty. We are especially mindful of the tremendous sacrifices of the 106 heroes who laid down their lives last year while protecting their communities."
Mr. Trump has long made a point of voicing his support for the law enforcement community, frequently holding and attending events for the men and women in blue.
"I want to express my gratitude for what you do every day, protecting our communities, our families, our streets and taking down crime," Mr. Trump told the International Association of Chiefs of Police in October of last year. "What you do is keep America safe and no one does that better than you. My administration always honors, cherishes and supports the men and women in blue."
The president's speech comes amid a "little squabble" over trade with China, as the president put it, and as a subpoena war wages on between the White House and Capitol Hill. An agreement has been reached for Mr. Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. to testify before the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Community, as questions linger from that committee's Russia probe.

Ben Howland sounds interested in Marquette job
Almost immediately after reports said Williams was leaving Marquette for Virginia Tech, college basketball reporters were tweeting about Howland and Marquette.
ESPN’s Jeff Goodman mentioned Howland along with two other names to watch out for with the job.
Names to keep an eye on for Marquette: Ben Howland, Mike Hopkins, Brian Wardle.
— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) March 21, 2014
Howland’s name was mentioned by plenty of others, making it seem like he or his agent said something to those reporters.
Ben Howland will likely be the first name to pop up at Marquette.

Sources have told @CBSSports that former UCLA coach Ben Howland is expected to be involved at Marquette.
— Gary Parrish (@GaryParrishCBS) March 21, 2014
Allow me to throw a Marquette name out there. How about Ben Howland? They have money and need a splash.
— Pete Thamel (@SIPeteThamel) March 21, 2014
And then there was this from ESPN’s Andy Katz, who specifically said that Howland wants back in the Big East:
Former UCLA coach Ben Howland wants Marquette. He wants back in the Big East. He makes sense to continue similar path of play.
— Andy Katz (@ESPNAndyKatz) March 21, 2014
Prior to coming to UCLA, Howland spent four seasons at Pitt where he led the Panthers to back-to-back sweet sixteen appearances and first-place finishes in the Big East. The Big East is not what it was now that UConn and Louisville are in the American Athletic Conference, and Pitt and Syracuse are in the ACC, but apparently it’s still attractive to Ben.
Howland took this season off after leading the Bruins from 2003-2013. His run at UCLA was highlighted by three straight Final Four appearances, but he was pushed out after failing to make it beyond the second round of the tournament the next five seasons.

House burnt down would do accused arsonist a favour
The godmother, and former fire communications officer, of a man accused of arson and attempted fraud relating to his house being destroyed by fire in 2019, has told a court being in the fire services was like “being a minor celebrity”.
Joanne Keevers gave evidence on March 25 in the trial of Daniel Boyd Bromilow, who has pleaded not guilty to arson and attempted fraud, in the Rockhampton District Court.
Ms Keevers told the court she once worked for Queensland Fire and Emergency Services for eight years as a communications officer but now worked for another government department.
She said she had known Mr Bromilow since he was born as she had been friends with his mother since they were in Grade 8 together.
Ms Keevers said she had visited Mr Bromilow in May 2019, prior to the fire, to drop of some of her husband’s old clothes for him to use.
She said she was there about 20 minutes and they talked about many things, including the “threats” that were in a letter Mr Bromilow claimed he found on his windscreen on May 18, which he immediately took to the police.
The court heard there was a copy of the letter in the envelope Mr Bromilow allegedly found and the defendant kept the second copy.
Crown prosecutor Samantha O’Rourke said the letter contained threats to Mr Bromilow and compliments such as “high regard”, ”a looker” and indicated they new Mr Bromilow wanted to join the military.
Ms Keevers told the court Mr Bromilow asked her how long it would take for his house to burn down and how long it would take for the fire service to respond.
She said she pointed to his gutters as she was leaving, commenting on their sad state.
“He said if somebody burned his house down, they would probably be doing him a favour, but.....” Ms Keevers said.
When asked to explain the “but” at the end of that comment by defence barrister Michael Lobane, she said she had intended to make a comment that was linked to her experience in social scenes while working for QFES.
“When you are in the fire service, you are like a minor celebrity,” Ms Keevers said.
She said when she attended social gatherings, as soon as somehow found out she worked for QFES, they would ask 20 questions and she found it “tiresome”.
Ms Keevers said she was frightened by the “threats” towards Mr Bromilow.
“I was concerned,” she said.
“I was concerned for his family.”
The trial continues.

Once upon a time the children used to play nicely. They had quite a lot of freedom and invented all sorts of very involved activities. They played singly, in pairs, in small and large groups. They developed constructive, co-operative, competitive and territorial games which were a pleasure to watch.
However, the children’s activity could get quite heated, tempers would rise, people would get upset and bad things would be said. Sometimes they got violent and some children would threaten others and even hit them. Occasionally things got out of hand and a child would get badly hurt.
Most of the children disliked the threat or use of violence in their activities because it really spoiled things. But when the problem seemed to be on the increase a few children decided that they should use knives to protect themselves.
The parents could see that the children were sometimes capable of threatening each other and didn’t want any of them to get hurt so they always told them off when they behaved aggressively. When they discovered that some of their children had knives they tried to explain that this was not making anyone safer – quite the opposite in fact. The children could see that this was right as a general rule but those that had knives still kept them, and even collected them because it made them feel safer. They knew they could use the threat of using a knife to settle arguments and get their own way.
Some of the children without knives tried to get hold of some in order to be able to stand up to those that already had them and the parents found it hard to argue against this.
Things got quite dangerous; a couple of children had been very badly hurt in a knife attack which was allegedly aimed at preventing further violence and, despite all the parents’ efforts, there were a number of further occasions when a fatal incident was narrowly avoided.
The parents did their best to persuade the children to cut down on the number of knives overall and often brought them together to discuss the problem. The children who had knives mostly took the view that they didn’t really want to use them but had to hang on to them to help ensure everyone was safe from other children who were less responsible.
Eventually, the parents did the obvious thing. With the children’s agreement, they got together and used their collective authority to confiscate all the knives and to ensure that no child ever had access to any. They started by saying they were just ‘looking after’ them for safe keeping but they soon destroyed all of them and made sure that no child could get a knife again. Anyone who even tried would be subject to the harshest sanctions on behalf of the entire community.
Taking all the knives out of circulation didn’t stop the children from disagreeing, arguing or occasionally fighting but it did mean that there was no danger that knives would ever be used to settle an argument.
Try reading countries for children, weapons of mass destruction for knives and United Nations for parents.

Attorney General Van Hollen Praises Court of Appeals Decision Validating Police Search of Residence of Racine County Man Convicted of Attempted Murder and Child Abduction.
MADISON, May 2, 2007 - Police investigating a kidnapping can search a residence without a warrant if they reasonably believe that the search will result in finding victims or evidence of the victim's location, the Court of Appeals ruled yesterday in State v. Larsen. The Court's decision affirmed the Racine County circuit court's conviction of David M. Larsen for one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide and two counts of interference with child custody.
The convictions stemmed from Larsen's January 2004 abduction of his former wife, Teri Jendusa-Nicolai, and her two young children, and his brutalization of Jendusa-Nicolai.
"This crime horrified Wisconsin's citizens," said Attorney General Van Hollen, whose office handled the appeal. "All of us remember our relief when Ms. Jendusa-Nicolai and her children were found. The skill and hard work of Racine County Sheriff's Department officers and investigators, working with law enforcement in Illinois, led to the safe return of the children and saved their mother's life. Time was of the essence in this case, and the Court of Appeals' decision affirmed that the Racine County officers and investigators acted appropriately by moving quickly to save lives."
Having received information linking Larsen to Jendusa-Nicolai's abduction, the Racine County officers and investigators conducted a search of Larsen's home without a warrant. During the search, investigators saw a bloodstained carpet, an overturned chair, a baseball bat resting nearby, and duct tape and bloodstained clothing in the garbage can. Recognizing signs of a violent abduction, officers looked for information indicating the possible whereabouts of Larsen and his captives. The investigation led to Larsen and the victimsÐ²Ð‚with Jendusa-Nicolai being found alive in a plastic garbage can inside Larsen's rented storage unit. Larsen ultimately pleaded no contest to the attempted homicide and interference with custody charges. On appeal, he argued that the warrantless search violated his rights under the Fourth Amendment and the Wisconsin Constitution. The Wisconsin Court of Appeals disagreed, holding that emergency circumstances justified the warrantless search. Specifically, the court held that police may conduct warrantless searches of premises "for evidence of the whereabouts of a kidnap victim who was reasonably believed by the police to be in imminent danger of harm."
The decision of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals may be found at the court's website:
Larsen is currently incarcerated at the Waupun Correctional Institution in Waupun, Wisconsin.
The State of Wisconsin was represented in the Wisconsin Court of Appeals by Assistant Attorney General Daniel J. O'Brien.

This is the first time in years I haven’t committed to National Novel Writing month and it’s jarring. I’m far too involved with this book about Pete and Tara to drop it for something new. At roughly 43,000 words, I think it’s going to end up being 80,000. The midway was reached at 40,000, though I didn’t realize it at the time.
Otherwise, I’m typing this at the office. I’m off work, so don’t think I’m blogging on company time, or that I’m working for a company for that matter. Actually, you can think whatever thoughts you want. I’m just waiting for Husband to come pick me up. Then it’s fun times ahead with a trip to the post office then home to make dinner and catch up on laundry before posting this to wordpress.
That’s a picture of what it looks like from my work desk. Past the bench, there’s a table (Made by Husband) where the Bemer mat rests. The orange Post-it is where the metal brace is going to go so yours truly won’t have to stoop to press the controls. Yes, that’s my job, hooking up people and pressing buttons. Also, I serve water. If you try Bemer – and you should – drink water, it helps so much with the treatment.
I have two pieces that will be up shortly. I am so excited! One was a piece written during the Kathy Fish workshop and the other is a Pete and Tara story. Many, many thanks to the amazing Cristopher James at Jellyfish Review and Les Weil at The Flash Fiction Press. I don’t know which one of these acceptances makes me happier and I’m overwhelmingly grateful to have that as an issue in my life.
Speaking of gratitude, I sent the first pages of the Pete and Tara stories to Mary Akers (Congrats on the gorgeous edition of Bones of an Inland Sea) and Gina Detwiler for critique this month and they didn’t kill me for not finishing up with Dreaming Lettie. Again, it was a matter of being caught up with Pete and Tara and since I’m not writing it the way I usually write a novel, I feel I need to keep an eye on all the moving parts in here to make sure it turns out right before I go on to something else. I’m also polishing as I go, so hopefully, when I reach the end, I’ll be done. And that’s another thing that’s bothering me. I’ve always known the end before I begin a book and now, I’m working without that. It’s slightly terrifying. Such a lovely problem, too.
The Best of 2016 came out! If you want a copy, email me and let me know. It was a great experience working with Nina Fosati and Nelson Locher on this edition of Hamburg Writers’ Group writing. It is a great group of people and I’m glad Mary Jo Hodge suggested I join and that Jim Miner allowed me entry.
Thanks for stopping by!

One of pop music's angels is making a move to the other side of the artistic track; Halo singer Beyonce Knowles is set to make her directorial debut when 2013 rolls around. US television network HBO announced they will be collaborating with the star, airing an intimate documentary which will be to Beyonce what I'm Going To Tell You A Secret was to Madonna – an insight into the her love, life and work.
Announcing the venture HBO said: "Directed by the superstar, the film is a fusion of video that provides raw, unprecedented access to the private entertainment icon and high-voltage performances." The channel's head of programming, Michael Lombardo, added: "Everybody knows Beyonce's music, but few know Beyonce the person. "Along with electrifying footage of Beyonce onstage, this unique special looks beyond the glamour to reveal a vibrant, vulnerable, unforgettable woman".
The mum-of-one is thrilled about showing the other side of her persona to the world and thinks HBO is the perfect partner for the project. "This film was so personal to me, it had to have the right home" she said following the official announcement. Beyonce's personal voyage – set to be aired on February 16 – will see her discuss her family's influence on her stellar career, and will document her return to the stage after giving birth to baby Blue Ivy. The exciting project will come hot on the heels of the star's performance at the Super Bowl. The songstress is due to set the stage alight at the NFL Halftime Show on February 3, confirming the news herself with a post on her website. "Countdown to Touchdown" she wrote, with a glossy image of the Super Bowl's date daubed on her face. Mrs Jay-Z's busy start to 2013 is just the latest addition to a packed schedule as the Crazy In Love singer seeks to perfect the balancing act of juggling work and home commitments. When she and her husband welcomed Blue Ivy in January, the new parents described the birth as "emotional and extremely peaceful" and "the best experience of both of our lives". The proud dad also welcomed his new bundle of joy to the world with a song called Glory. Referring to his little girl, the rapper touchingly sings that "my greatest creation was you" before the track ends to the sound of a baby – thought to be his daughter – crying.

When Karen McCarthy co-founded the Youth Empowerment Services after school and summer enrichment program in Anaconda in 2016, the organization served just a few students. But flash forward two years later, and the program now serves around 15 students and offers a whole host of activities. What’s more, the program soon plans to add spots for around 10 more youth.
Now, after serving students from the Anaconda School District’s administration building on West Park Street, the program plans to unveil a new home for its students Monday evening during an open house.
The new digs reside in the former site of First United Methodist — a cheery brick-red church at the corner of Oak and Third streets.
McCarthy, executive director of the faith-based nonprofit, said YES purchased the building for $50,000 earlier this year with the help of fundraising efforts and several grants.
One of those was a $35,000 grant from the Gianforte Family Foundation. The program also received assistance from the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation and the Anaconda Central Business Tax Increment Financing District for utility costs and upgrades to the building’s roof and electricity.
McCarthy said a lot of work had to be done on the facility to get it ready for Monday night. The nonprofit updated the plumbing, secured asbestos abatement, and repainted the building’s interior, among other upgrades. Meanwhile, plans are in the works for more improvements.
YES students helped with much of the work — cleaning, unloading boxes, painting, and more.
“They have real ownership in this building because they put a lot of sweat into it,” said McCarthy.
McCarthy’s husband Kauz, president of the nonprofit’s board, expressed similar sentiments.
“They helped so much with the preparation,” he said.
YES serves students from fourth through twelfth grade after school and during the summer. Tuition is $50 per month, though the program offers a reduced rate for students receiving free lunch at school. In addition to public-facing events like hosting a face-painting booth during Alive at Five and Art in the Park, the program offers students an opportunity to participate in art-based activities, work and life skills training, cooking, and a whole lot more.
McCarthy, a former special education teacher who served at schools and organizations throughout southwest Montana, said she started YES because she was concerned about the kids of Anaconda, who didn’t seem to have access to activities after school and during the summer.
In addition to providing important skills in the realms of work, ethics, and life, McCarthy said, the program offers a safe haven from bullying.
She pointed out that children today get bullied both outside and inside the home with the advent of social media. YES, she said, provides a safe space where kids can interact socially without the fear of being mistreated by others.
You have free articles remaining.
As for the kids of YES, they say the program is like having a second family.
“I like the fact about YES that it’s like another home away from home,” said Saleena Teller, 12.
“Sometimes when you’re having a bad day, you can just come here and ask Karen to talk in a private room,” Teller continued, noting that McCarthy and other program leaders help students learn coping skills that they can use when they’re being bullied — like how to calm down when they're feeling really angry.
“It honestly helps a lot. It’s like having another parent figure, but a really fun one.”
Other students from the program agreed.
“It’s like another place where you go and stop bullying,” said Keira Teler, 10.
Shawn Kline, 16, said the program also helps students become more tolerant and accepting toward others.
“Having the program YES in this town could help us maybe socialize and connect with people that we might not get along with outside of here,” Kline said.
Kline’s sister encouraged him to join YES. At first he thought the program would be boring, but what he found at YES was a place where he could do art and other activities and also hang out with McCarthy, who he described as a hard worker who cares about kids.
Tyson Obenauer, 10, also said he was drawn to the program’s activities.
“There is a lot of things at home that people don’t really do,” he said, describing how the program provides exposure to activities that aren’t always accessible at home.
Robert Smith, 19, was one of the program’s first students and now works as a YES volunteer and administrative assistant. He says that, in addition to coping skills, students also value the work and life skills training YES provides.
As for McCarthy, she said seeing how the program has grown and all the work the students put into the building feels like a dream.
“I just can’t believe it. I mean, I’m still in shock that we have this beautiful building that we can bring back to life and we can beautify again,” said McCarthy. “It feels like home.”


First ARGON Mapping Satellite Lauched 48 Years Ago Today
The first ARGON mapping satellite was launched 17 February 1961. The ARGON satellites carried film cameras and ejected film canisters. The imagery was declassified in the Clinton administration. The CORONA, ARGON, and LANYARD satellites exposed more that 2 million feet of film between 1959 and 1972. You can get the imagery and more information from USGS.


POLITICAL WIRE’S HEADLINES – 1/25
“Senate Democratic and Republican leaders are nearing an agreement on new limits to the filibuster, an effort to speed action in the often-clogged chamber by prohibiting senators from using a common tactic to slow the legislative process,” the New York Times reports.
“Lawmakers and aides said the new rules, which both sides were preparing to announce on Thursday, would end the use of a procedural tactic that forces the majority party — Democrats currently — to marshal 60 votes to even bring a bill to the floor, sometimes killing it before it ever gets debated.”
“Analyzing data compiled by the Orlando Sentinel, Ohio State University professor Theodore Allen estimated last week that at least 201,000 voters likely gave up in frustration on Nov. 6, based on research Allen has been doing on voter behavior. His preliminary conclusion was based on the Sentinel’s analysis of voter patterns and precinct-closing times in Florida’s 25 largest counties, home to 86 percent of the state’s 11.9 million registered voters.”
Bill and Hillary Clinton are house hunting in the Hamptons, the New York Post reports.
“The former president, 66, and wanna-be future president, 65, are looking for an oceanfront property where they can unwind and prepare for their next phase of life.”
Gallup: “During his fourth year in office, an average of 86% of Democrats and 10% of Republicans approved of the job Barack Obama did as president. That 76-percentage-point gap ties George W. Bush’s fourth year as the most polarized years in Gallup records.”
Suzi Parker: “Remember how Hillary Rodham Clinton’s critics said she faked her December stomach illness, which included a concussion and a subsequent blood clot, because she was scared to face scrutiny from Congress? As the kids say, whatevs. Hillary conquered Capitol Hill on Wednesday. She looked anything but frightened … Naturally, the right-wing media went into overdrive about Hillary not caring about four dead Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, because she said, ‘What difference, at this point, does it make?’ Of course, they must have missed her earlier testimony when her voice cracked with emotion as she described meeting the caskets at Andrews Air Force Base, President Obama by her side.”
“For Hillary, the testimony was a triumphant capstone on her term as the chief U.S. diplomat. If Hillary had not dealt with the Benghazi affair before she left office, she could have been viewed as a failure and a weakling. Instead, she came blazing onto Capitol Hill in true Hillary style, concluding the Libya drama on her terms and exiting the Washington stage to regroup for her next adventure — a new book, global speeches or a presidential run.”
The Week: Will Clinton’s testimony come back to haunt her?
A new study “makes a startling suggestion about so-called ‘robo-polls’ in the 2012 Republican presidential primaries, raising the question of whether these automated surveys may have been adjusted to match live-interviewer polls,” Gary Langer reports.
Key excerpt: “There is no difference in the accuracy of IVR polls and human polls when IVR polls occur after a human poll, but IVR polls do significantly worse if human polls are not conducted first. The apparent equivalence of IVR polls and human polls in the 2012 Republican primary appears to depend on human polls being conducted prior to the IVR polls.”
That said, the authors admit they “did not test the reverse possibility, that traditional polls were altered to match automated ones.”
New Mexico state Rep. Cathrynn Brown (R) has introduced a bill that would legally require victims of rape to carry their pregnancies to term in order to use the fetus as evidence for a sexual assault trial, the Huffington Post reports.
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds a slight majority of Americans give positive marks to new gun control proposals put forward by President Obama, 53% to 41%.
Fully 76% of Democrats rate Obama’s proposals favorably, while 72% of Republicans say the opposite. Independents tilt positively toward the newly announced restrictions: 51% favorable and 44% unfavorable.
Gallup: “Given the chance to vote ‘for’ or ‘against’ each of nine key proposals included in President Obama’s plan to reduce gun violence, Americans back all nine.”
A new Christopher Newport University poll shows a very tight race for Virginia governor with Terry McAuliffe (D) barely ahead of Ken Cuccinelli (R), 31% to 30%.
A three-way race is even tighter with McAuliffe and Cuccinelli tied at 27% and possible independent candidate Bill Bolling (I) way back at 9%.
Time looks at Al Gore’s recent business dealings — including a new book — and notes he “has built his net worth to some $300 million, according to the scorekeepers at Forbes. By their measure, he is now richer than the renowned supercapitalist Mitt Romney.”
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) “will deliver a forceful denunciation of his party’s Washington-centric focus in a speech to the Republican National Committee on Thursday evening, arguing that the GOP is fighting the wrong fight as it seeks to rebuild from losses at the ballot box last November,” the Washington Post reports.
“Jindal’s speech — and his call to ‘recalibrate the compass of conservatism’ — is the latest shred of a growing amount of evidence that the Louisiana governor is positioning himself to not only run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 but do so in direct (or close to it) opposition to his party in the nation’s capital.”
“Stepping up their austerity campaign, House Republicans plan to demand far deeper spending cuts from President Obama to balance the federal budget in just 10 years, an extraordinary goal that would hit Medicare and other safety-net programs,” the Los Angeles Times reports.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) “agreed to the dramatic initiative to coax reluctant rank-and-file lawmakers Wednesday to approve a temporary suspension of the $16.4-trillion debt limit without any cuts in spending.”
The Hill: “Democrats eyeing a takeover of the House in 2014 view the move as a gift, since the GOP budget plan will likely make deeper cuts to popular government programs that any leadership-backed blueprint has before.”
National Democrats “are taking steps to create a large-scale independent group aimed at turning traditionally conservative Texas into a prime electoral battleground, crafting a new initiative to identify and mobilize progressive voters in the rapidly-changing state,” Politicoreports.
“The organization, dubbed ‘Battleground Texas,’ plans to engage the state’s rapidly growing Latino population, as well as African-American voters and other Democratic-leaning constituencies that have been underrepresented at the ballot box in recent cycles. Two sources said the contemplated budget would run into the tens of millions of dollars over several years – a project Democrats hope has enough heft to help turn what has long been an electoral pipe dream into reality.”
President Obama will nominate Mary Jo White to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission, “tapping an attorney with broad experience in prosecuting white-collar crimes to lead an agency that has a central role in implementing Wall Street reform,” the APreports.
Obama will also “renominate Richard Cordray to serve as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau… The president used a recess appointment last year to circumvent Congress and install Cordray as head of the bureau. That appointment expires at the end of this year.”Explore posts in the same categories: Candidates, National, Politics

Release date: August 26th 2014
Synopsis via Goodreads:
In a world of shadows, anything is possible. Except escaping your fate.
Ever since she was a child, Ivy has been gripped by visions of strange realms just beyond her own. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy discovers the truth is far worse—her hallucinations are real, and her sister is trapped in a parallel realm. And the one person who believes her is the dangerously attractive guy who's bound by an ancient legacy to betray her.
Adrian might have turned his back on those who raised him, but that doesn't mean he can change his fate…no matter how strong a pull he feels toward Ivy. Together they search for the powerful relic that can save her sister, but Adrian knows what Ivy doesn't: that every step brings Ivy closer to the truth about her own destiny, and a war that could doom the world. Sooner or later, it will be Ivy on one side and Adrian on the other. And nothing but ashes in between…
*I was approved by the publisher on Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
It's kind of hard for me to write this review because on one hand, I liked the story, and then on the next, it sort of went away from me from the middle onward. I don't know, probably because everything started to slow down--the pace, the action--and then I felt myself getting annoyed by Ivy and some of the things she'd think and say. I mean, it was a good story, it had a great plot. The twists based on several aspects in history was something I hadn't read before, so I give it points for that. It's just that, I feel like after the middle it started to drag a bit and stress on things that were already established in the beginning. Like, Ivy kept repeating certain things and I felt like it was done to add a few extra pages when the story could have just kept rolling.
I guess you can say I'm still iffy about my feelings in regards to her character. In the first few chapters, I liked her sense of humor and snarky remarks, but then it just started to fizzle for me and at one point her comments made me cringe. Not saying she's a terrible main character, only that certain things about her didn't work for me.
As for Adrian. I liked him. I liked his seriousness and the way he made it clear right off that he was not good for her and that he could betray her. He was a straight to the core guy, even though he left a good chunk of details as mystery for the story to remain interesting. It can definitely be hair-pulling, how he along with Zach kept things from Ivy, but I guess it was worth it because towards the end we get to really see just how impulsive she can be when she goes and pulls off something so dangerous. However, it did get the story going again and I kind of liked how finding the weapon turned out to be for her. But then it gets messy again when Ivy is back to being mad at Adrian for reasons that baffled me. Well, I guess that's the kind of relationship they'll have throughout the series. It looks like it.
This was my first taste of Jeaniene Frost and from what I've heard about her other books, I kind of expected so much more... like fireworks. It didn't happen for me but I did like her easy and fluid writing style, and even though it slowed down in some segments, I did like the pace for the most part. And, once again, I enjoyed the twists and play on historical elements. That aspect to me was different. Will I continue the series? Maybe, and probably with the hopes that certain things about Ivy are improved on.

By Helen Bannerman
Illustrated by Fred Marcellino
Helen Bannerman (1862-1946), the author and illustrator of The Story of Little Black Sambo (published in 1899), lived in India for several years; the basis for the story came from illustrated letters she wrote to her children during her time there. Though “sambo” was a term used throughout the 1800s it seems to have risen to its now well-known racist usage in the first half of the 1900s, perhaps in part owed to this story.
The Story of Little Black Sambo has been a point of controversy for nearly as long as it’s been in print. The story itself obviously took place in India, featuring tigers and ghee, or clarified butter, but Bannerman’s art featured an offensively caricatured black child.
Despite being married to some highly objectionable art, the story itself features a wonderfully clever and brave boy who outwits four hungry tigers to escape the jungle without being eaten. I did not understand the connotations of the word “sambo” as a child, and I loved the story. It was included in Volume 2 of the My Book House series and featured illustrations of distinctly Indian characters.
I loved all the fancy clothes and their vivid colors. I was fascinated by the idea of the tigers turning into butter, and then being used on pancakes, and eaten! And the number of pancakes the family consumed, two hundred and fifty-one, astounded me.
The Story of Little Black Sambo has been retold many times. The Story of Little Babaji, illustrated by Fred Marcellino (1939-2001), was published the same year as another retelling, Sam and the Tigers, by Julius Lester and illustrated by Jerry Pinkney. In Lester and Pinkney’s version, a whole new story is fashioned and takes place in the fictional village of Sam-sam-sa-mara, where everyone is named Sam.
In general, I object to publishers altering or removing what is, now, deemed to be offensive material from books. In addition to the fundamental danger of hiding a rightfully shameful past, these books provide an opportunity to see how attitudes have evolved. Historically speaking, I think it’s important to be aware of the original book, with all its faults.
Marcellino’s version adheres to the original tale; he simply changed the names of the characters and created art to reflect the story’s Indian setting. He also chose a trim size (6.5 in x 6.5 in), close to that of the original book (4 in x 6 in). This decidedly improved edition is a beautifully designed book and a wonderful story worth sharing.
Fred Marcelino illustrated several children’s books; in 1991 his lavishly illustrated version of Charles Perrault’s Puss in Boots received a Caldecott Honor. Its striking cover bore no title and featured a gorgeous illustration of a finely dressed cat.
Marcelino’s stylish watercolor art in the Story of Little Babaji is lighter and airier. Each exquisitely delicate and lively illustration is rendered in a wide-ranging, joyful palette. The highly detailed art alternates between being elegantly simple, with no background, and lusciously full, showing the surrounding environs.
“Once upon a time there was a little boy, and his name was Little Babaji. And his mother was called Mamaji. And his father was called Papaji.”
Mamaji made Babaji a fine red coat and a pair of lovely blue trousers. Papaji bought him an ample green umbrella and a lovely pair of purple shoes.
“And then wasn’t Little Babaji grand?”
After donning all his new items, Babaji went for a walk. Before long he encountered a tiger who threatened to eat him! Babaji pleaded with the tiger and offered his fine red coat in exchange for his life. The vain tiger accepted the deal and walked away declaring, “Now I’m the grandest tiger in the jungle.”
Babaji escaped unharmed but in no time at all his path crossed with another tiger who also threatened to eat him. This time Babaji surrendered his blue trousers to remain uneaten. Now a second tiger was claiming to be the grandest in the jungle.
Babaji continued on his way and soon came face to face with another hungry tiger. When Babaji offered to trade his lovely purple shoes for freedom the tiger responded that he had no use for two shoes when he has four feet. But Babaji convinced the foolish tiger to wear the shoes on his ears. Another vain beast marched off announcing his grand status.
When Babaji met the fourth (and final) tiger, he had only his umbrella left to offer and since tigers have no hands to carry umbrellas, Babaji tied it to the tiger’s tail.
“And poor Little Babaji went away crying, because the cruel tigers had taken all his fine clothes.”
Before Little Babaji could reach safety he heard the tigers growling nearby; the growling grew louder. Babaji hid behind a palm tree and spied the tigers—all in their fine new items—arguing over which of them was the grandest in the jungle. The tigers removed their adornments in a fury and began clawing and biting each other; forming a circle around the tree, each tiger grabbed hold of another by the tail.
While the vicious creatures were otherwise occupied, Babaji retrieved his things and rushed off to a safe distance, where he magnanimously provided the opportunity for the giant cats to reclaim their items! But the tigers were too angry and refused to let go of each other’s tails and Little Babaji re-dressed in all his resplendent finery and walked off unscathed.
Meanwhile the tigers, still bound in a circle by tails and teeth, began chasing each other faster and faster until they were a blur of orange and black; then the tigers ran so fast that they melted away into a pool of ghee (though this is the common spelling, in the book it’s spelled ghi).
As it happened, Papaji was on his way home from work and came upon the beautiful buttery pool and scooped it all into the brass pot he was carrying. He brought it home for Mamaji who used the ghee to make a pancake feast for the whole family. The pancakes “were just as yellow and brown as little tigers” and “Little Babaji ate a hundred and sixty-nine, because he was so hungry.”

Alex Speier of WEEI.com is reporting that the Boston Red Sox will continue searching for outfield upgrades this winter. Speier notes that a possible Red Sox addition could be someone that would slide in as a platoon player or an outfielder that would command a larger role.
As the offseason commenced, the Red Sox had an opening in right field as veteran J.D. Drew’s contract had expired. They had an opportunity to bring in one of several full-time starting options from the 2011-12 free agent market including Carlos Beltran, Michael Cuddyer, Jason Kubel and Josh Willingham.
Instead, the Red Sox decided to pass on spending big on a right field solution. Instead, the Red Sox traded Josh Reddick, who started 56 games in right for Boston last season and was their most viable option to start in right next season, for bullpen relief. In the same trade the Red Sox acquired outfielder Ryan Sweeney, who only mustered an OPS of .687 last season for the A’s.
While Sweeney offers the club defensive versatility and outfield depth, he’s probably not a starting right fielder for a club that hopes to contend. Instead, Speier says the Red Sox could look to bring in another player that would platoon with Sweeney, who has fared much better against right-handers throughout his career.
This addition would have to be a right-handed hitter, or at least someone who can handle left-handed pitching. Of the free agent options remaining, only a few names jump out. If the Red Sox are looking to spend a little more, they could go with Ryan Ludwick or Cody Ross. If they’d rather go the thrifty route, Boston could look at a Marcus Thames.
There is a chance the Red Sox could also look to acquire another player through trade, but Speier says the club could ultimately stick with what it has. Darnell McDonald is a career .285/.348/.451 hitter versus lefties and played well down the stretch for the Red Sox in 2011.

Actor Mohit Raina has come a long way from where he first started. The actor is celebrating his 36th birthday on August 14, 2019. Mohit, who started his acting career with a 2004 science fiction show Antariksh, has recently made his Bollywood debut in Vicky Kaushal starrer Uri: The Surgical Strike. The actor has also made his web debut, opposite Dia Mirza, in the series Kaafir. Mohit’s claim to fame was with TV show Devon Ke Dev – Mahadev, where he acted with TV and movie actress Mouni Roy.
As the actor turns 37, here’s a look at 5 times when the actor slayed Instagram with his look:
Monochrome and Friday
The Mahabharata actor took to Instagram to share a monochrome picture recently. The casual look in the picture makes the actor looks hotter than ever. He has captioned the picture, “Music always sounds better on Friday.”
New song every day
The actor shared another monochrome picture a few days ago. Wearing a white shirt, the actor can be seen sitting with a pensive look, holding a pen in his hand. He shared the post with a few romantic lines.
Passion and fire
During all the promotions for his web series Kaafir, the actor shared a picture sitting beside a fire. He captioned it as ‘Junoon’, meaning ‘passion’ in English. Rain can be seen staring at the fire in the picture.
Sunday in black
He looks colourful even in black and this post is proof of that. Wearing black trousers, along with a black T-shirt, combined with a black leather jacket and black shoes, the actor looks perfectly handsome.
The actor shared a pensive picture, with a thoughtful message on a Tuesday. He captioned it, “Laughter is timeless; imagination has no age and Dreams are forever.” The actor can be seen in a denim jacket in the picture.

Andrew Scott is not particularly interested in playing an antagonist similar to his James Bond villain C from 2015’s “Spectre,” starring Daniel Craig. In a recent interview with British GQ, the actor expressed his desire to continue playing more nuanced roles.
“If I’m honest, it’s not a territory that I feel like I would want to go over again. Now I know who I am a little bit more, I feel like the work that I’m just interested in doing is more in the grey areas,” Scott said. “I suppose it’s just that I didn’t think… I just maybe wasn’t that good in it.”
Scott portrayed new MI5 boss Max Denbigh, condenamed C, in the Sam Mendes-directed “Spectre.” While Variety‘s “Spectre” review called the film a “particular treat for 007 nerds,” others were more critical of the 24th installment in the British spy franchise. Pierce Brosnan, who played the super-spy in four films from 1995 to 2002, said that “Spectre” didn’t quite feel like a Bond film in a 2015 interview.
“I was looking forward to it enormously,” said Brosnan. “I thought it was too long. The story was kind of weak — it could have been condensed. It kind of went on too long. It really did.”
While several of Scott’s past projects have involved him playing supporting roles to bigger stars like Craig, Benedict Cumberbatch in “Sherlock” and Phoebe Waller-Bridge in “Fleabag,” he takes center stage in Andrew Haigh’s “All of Us Strangers,” premiering Dec. 22. The film follows Scott’s Adam as he enters a relationship with Harry, portrayed by Paul Mescal. Switching between reality and the supernatural, Adam returns to his childhood home to find that his parents alive and well, despite their supposed deaths when he was 12.
Scott discussed how filming “All of Us Strangers” was “gratifying and cathartic” because he revisited several of his own experiences. Specifically, in the scene where Adam comes out to his family, Scott said he found himself reflecting on his own experience coming out to his parents.
“I had a very happy childhood,” Scott said. “But there’s an inevitable pain that you have to go through when you have to take a risk telling your family something about yourself. I really do think that that is a gift now, because to have to risk everything, and for your family and friends to say ‘we accept you no matter what,’ that’s a real feeling of love that you get confirmed at a very young age, that actually some people who aren’t queer don’t get. I mean, some queer people aren’t so lucky.”

There is something in my eye, eye inflammation and what to do
#1 Eye doctor in Miami Florida, Miami Beach Florida and surrounding areas
Foreign object : A foreign object in your eye is something that enters the eye from outside the body. It can be anything—from a particle of dust to a metal shard—that does not naturally belong there. Its the most common eye problems of all. Normally when you are walking on a busy road or in a market or playing on a playground then simply some kinds of dust and particles can enter into your eyes. 00It may also cause for eyelashes, dried mucus, saw dust, dirt, sand, cosmetics etc. When a foreign object enters your eye, it will most likely affect the cornea or the conjunctiva. Foreign objects can cause abrasions, or scratches, on your cornea. These injuries usually are minor. However, some types of foreign objects can cause infection or damage your vision. A foreign object that lands on the front part of the eye cannot get lost behind the eyeball.
Symptoms : If you have foreign objects into your eyes then you will face with some several experiences. You will feel pressure on your eyes or it will seem that you are feeling discomfort in seeing things or objects that are near and far. You will have pain in your eyes and normally you will realize that something is into your eyes. Your eyes may turn into red and if the problem becomes serious then it will turn into blood red color. Also you may have extreme tear and blinking if you have foreign objects into your eyes.
Remedy : As the foreign objects can be entered into your eyes from outside so you always need to be very careful while walking on the road, market and playing on the ground. You may use sunglass or normal eye glasses to protect your eyes from dusts and particles. Also walk on the safe side of the road where there is no dusts. If you have foreign objects in your eyes then restrict eye movement,Bandage the eye using a clean cloth or gauze, If the object is too large to allow for a bandage, cover the eye with a paper cup, The uninjured eye also should be covered. This will help prevent eye movement in the affected eye. If you suspect you have a foreign object in your eye, it is important to initiate treatment promptly to avoid infection and the possibility of damaged vision. Contact your physician if the foreign object in your eye has conditions that warrant emergency treatment.
Eyelid Inflammation: The folds of skin that cover your eyes are called eyelids. Your eyelids protect your eyes from external debris and injury. Your eyelids contain hairs (eyelashes) in small hair follicles on the edge of the lids. These follicles contain oil glands, which can become irritated and inflame your eyelid. Inflammation of the eyelash follicles is also called blepharitis. Experts aren’t sure exactly what causes eyelid inflammation. However, certain factors may make it more likely to develop such as having dandruff and scalp, allergies, allergic reactions, medication side effects etc. Although one of these factors is enough to trigger inflammation, several factors may be present at the time of diagnosis.
Symptoms: Symptoms of eyelid inflammation are very noticeable because they irritate your eyes and may affect your vision. They may include intense itching, swollen, red or inflamed eyelids, burning sensation in the eyes, oily eyelids, crust on your eyelashes or the corners of your eyes etc. Since these are also symptoms of a serious eye infection, they should be treated as an emergency. See your doctor right away if you have any of these symptoms.
Remedy : A general practitioner or an eye doctor can diagnose eyelid inflammation. A physical examination of your eye is usually enough to diagnose the condition. However, your doctor may want to check your eyes for the presence of bacteria, fungi, or viruses to see if you have an infection. In this case, your doctor will take a sample of any fluid seeping from your eyes, and examine it under a microscope. Besides washing your eyelids gently with a warm towel, you may need to take other measures to clean your eyes and reduce the inflammation. Your treatment will depend on whether an infection is causing your inflammation.

Berlin (dpa / bb) – Despite the wintry cold, divers from the Berlin fire brigade searched underwater for a car wreck on Thursday. The fire brigade wanted to get the sunken small car from the Habermannsee in the Kaulsdorf district. Hobby divers discovered the car 25 meters from the shore in about 4 meters water depth, as a fire department spokesman said. The car has probably been lying on the ground for a long time, covered with shells and rusted. The operation goes back to a request from the environmental office of the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district.
The first rescue attempt failed on Thursday morning, the spokesman said. When a lifting bag attached underwater by the two divers in the car was filled with compressed air, the roof of the car partially tore off. At lunchtime, divers should attach air cushions on the outside of the car for a second attempt. This is intended to raise the small car to the surface and then pull it ashore.
Working underwater is not easy for divers. The visibility is only about 20 centimeters due to the thrown up mud and the water is 3 degrees cold. After an hour under water, it was “pretty fresh,” as the spokesman said. But the divers would wear thick winter wetsuits and are also used to working mostly by feeling. In total, the fire brigade is on site with 14 people, including a third diver who is available as a rescue diver for an emergency.

To understand the Aeneid's take on the theme of mortality, its useful to compare its view with that of the epic poems of Homer, from which Virgil took so many of his Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, the central idea is that the underworld crummy future that everyone has to look forward to just makes Homer's characters all the more determined to live it up while they're here.
In both theme and placement, Book VI, which many consider to be Virgil's greatest literary accomplishment, is of central importance to the development and the ultimate meaning of the Aeneid.

When writing the Aeneid, Virgil (or Vergil) drew from his studies on the Homeric epics of the Iliad and the Odyssey to help him create a national epic poem for the Roman people.

Man Lift Safety measures
Man lifts are specifically designed aerial platforms used to raise individuals vertically down and up. The man lift is also called a vertical person lift. It is utilized in a variety of industries for lots of different purposes. Man lifts are potentially very dangerous even if they can be really useful. When operating one, there are several standard safety procedures which should be taken into account when operating this particular kind of machinery.
Get Proper Training
It is a good idea to read the handbook before using a man lift. Another good idea is to watch how other operators utilize the man lift before driving it by yourself. This presents a great chance to ask an experienced operator any type of question and become familiar with the procedures. Watching a professional, somebody who actually knows what they are really doing can really teach you lots of good habits right from the start. After the reading and observations are done, make sure the required training is completed successfully.
The majority of businesses would require their operators to receive training from a qualified operator. The training course would include manufacturer operating requirements, hazard precautions, information on the scope of hazards associated with operating the lift, in addition to information about the rated load capacity, like workers and Materials. Finally, training will incorporate a demonstration of skill and knowledge in how to use the lift correctly.
Check the Nearby Area
Before utilizing any man lift, it is vital to check out the location in which the machinery would be utilized. The surface should be cleared of all loose debris. Check for ground hazards like for instance bumps, debris and holes. Visually inspect the area above the equipment for aerial hazards like overhead power lines. Any of these hazards can hugely compromise the safety of the operator and surrounding personnel, in addition to other machines and structures on site.
