Blake Zweig is a psychologist by day and singer-song writer by night. Blake’s musical career began in 1998, when he formed the band Sleeping for Sunrise and played shows with bands like Braid, Promise Ring, American Football, and other memorable indie-emo rock bands of that era. His first solo album, Other People Make Me Do This, was released in 2001, and consisted of Blake’s somber voice and delicate guitar style with minor accompaniment from Mike Kinsella of American Football and Owen. Blake's song "White Sail," from Other People Make Me Do This was used poignantly at the climax of the Norwegian independent film Sagas Øy. In 2007, Blake formed Small Town which added drums, bass, and cello to his singer-song writer style. Their song, "Daisy," was highlighted on Chicago radio WXRT's Local Anesthetic show with Richard Milne. Years later, Blake’s song, "Spain," from his most recent album, Dandelion, was also featured on Local Anesthetic. Come join Blake at Uncommon Ground on September 7th as he performs new and old songs, breaks out the harmonica, and sings his heart out with no regrets.

With a flatpicking style strongly inspired by Bryan Sutton, David Grier and Doc Watson alike, Dorfman strives to inject as much energy as possible into the music he creates, writes and performs.
Dan Andree was born to fiddle. As a youngster growing up in DeKalb corn country, he fashioned his first fiddling fingers under the tutelage of Ann Montzka-Smelser. He started gigging after joining his first bluegrass group, The Corn Desert Ramblers, down in Urbana, IL way back in 2006. Upon graduating bluegrass college, and actual college, Dan made his way to the big city to start his 4 year tenure with the Chicago bluegrass powerhouse, The Henhouse Prowlers. These days, he can be found fiddling everywhere–wherever you can look–and when the people are eatin’ the stuff they raise, and livin’ in the houses they build, he’ll be there too.

This ball is from one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of autographed baseballs in the world. Altogether they were easily displayable in custom shelf form and alphabetically displayed nonetheless. The choice of medium was visually easy for the encyclopedic collector who put these together. It took several decades to amass these rare autographs of the most prominent entertainers, historical figures, and sports players. It proved quite difficult to acquire autographs of non-ballplayers on such an odd object (a baseball) but diligence proved otherwise and that it’s possible. So, now with the collection complete and his shelves empty there’s only one thing left to do….bid on this item and start the challenge to see how far you can take it.

Tottenham Hotspur look set to make a late move in the summer transfer window, as they could swoop for Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher.
The Blues midfielder is open to a move away from the club this summer, as his gametime looks set to be limited after huge investment throughout the window.
Tottenham eyeing move for Conor Gallagher
Tottenham remain in the market on the final day, and a move for Gallagher is currently being explored, according to the Telegraph.
Spurs could yet offload Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg before the deadline, and Gallagher is one of the players that is being considered as a like-for-like replacement.
The North London club are prepared to pay $50 million for the 23-year-old, who has played in all three of Chelsea’s Premier League fixtures this term.
Gallagher has played 49 times for Chelsea, scoring three goals. He has also been capped by England on seven occasions, with his most recent appearance coming earlier this year.

Watch NASA’s Dawn Spacecraft Buzz Dwarf Planet Ceres in the Asteroid Belt
Ceres accounts for 25% of the mass of the asteroid belt, and unlike most of its irregularly shaped neighbors, it is massive enough to be nearly spherical like a moon or planet. ..... Models of the dwarf planet’s interior suggest its mantle may consist of a slurry of water and dirt that contains more fresh water than Earth. .... early images from the Dawn mission showed mysterious bright spots on the surface .... highly reflective patches of surface ice are one possibility. ...... Discovering water on Ceres would have implications for space exploration. Water is a potential source of hydration, breathable air, and rocket fuel, and will therefore prove a precious resource for space wanderers. .... Ceres would make a good extraterrestrial outpost. Its low gravity makes landing and taking off less energy intensive, and resources on the surface could resupply missions—perhaps even trips to the outer solar system.

It all seems to go well, hope I don’t speak too soon. I was able to work on the allotment quite a lot these last few days and it looks rather good. I still think that the weeds have got it in for me – as soon as I have finished one patch I have to go and start again.
Started earthing up the potatoes, they are looking good – if all fails we shall have spuds. I am glad I moved my strawberries into my huge raised beds. They are protected and all are flowering well, just hope we don’t get any late frost.
It is not only fruit and veg but also some flowers. I am trying to have as many as I can to encourage the bees and I think it works.
I know I have autumn fruiting raspberries but this late? I don’t mind but….
Not only the fruit but flowers too. My clematis flowered during the summer and I thought that it had finished for this year – not so.
I’m delighted as it gives me a splash of colour.
…..my ideal material for sprucing up the plot.
Yesterday I cleared the area between my new greenhouse and the latest net cage. It is not very wide – I had sunflowers growing close to the net cage as that way they had some protection. Close to the greenhouse is a large crown of rhubarb and a small raised bed. It was the perfect area for weeds to thrive!
It was clear of weeds but I knew I had to do something there to stop the weeds to come back. Slabs I thought. Again Simon came to the rescue. He already gave me a few of them to make a little path in front of the greenhouse, now he gave me the rest of them. The blue bricks I dug out from the ground at the end of this very same plot – the guy who had it before me started to build a wall?? It looked like it, all in all I unearthed 15 blue bricks! The rest can be seen here
To finish it all off Simon also gave me some sweet William plans – he was planting them out and, fortunately for me, had more than he could use. Thanks to him it looks very nice, the bees will love it next year when it all flowers.
I’ve got two very tall sunflowers – one on the farm
I didn’t manage to measure that one and
this one in the back garden – 10ft 10,5inches!
…..in the back garden.
First of all I thought that I won’t have much colour in the garden. How wrong I was! Last night’s rain has refreshed it all and now the flowers are just fantastic.
Pity we can’t smell the photos….
Everything in the garden is doing well. Thanks to my brother-in-law Chris I have the nicest tulips in the front and back garden – a mix of colours and types. A lot of them are in pots and the challenge next year will be to find somewhere in the ground to plant. We’ll see….
I had to do a few improvements to my latest cage but after today’s work I’m happy.
Because it stands very close to the path I decided to put a couple of boards between the net and the edge of the path – as I will trim the grass on the path I won’t be able to damage the net. I know it doesn’t look very pretty but it does the job.
The next was a little path leading to the door of the cage – just three slabs and it looks ok. In case I have to get inside on a wet day….
And the last thing was sprinkling of a mix of annual flowers on both sides of the path. There isn’t enough room to grow any veg but it’ll be nice to have a mix of flowers to attract the bees.
When I first started working on the allotment I had just one half of a plot. I thought that it would be enough. Little did I know that I will have so much land in the end.
This was the first bit of land – without any structures on it and rather overgrown!
The chairman just mentioned that the person who had the other half of my plot doesn’t want to work it any more and would I like it. I didn’t need any time to think about it because I realised that just a half is nowhere near enough for my plans.
Every plot needs a shed – mine was made for me by one of the other allotmenters – out of pallets – talk about recycling!
First if was one more half then a bit more and end is that now I have two full plots and three separate halves. I have the luxury now of growing flowers!
I have finished puling the weeds, cutting the path edges, building the structures for growing beans and climbing courgettes and now all I have to do is wait. I even had time to put a huge flowerpot over one rhubarb crown to force it so we can look forward to some very tasty pink rhubarb later on…..
…and all of a sudden I have got another bit of land. I must say, I’ve given up a part of a plot, close to my raspberry patch – I’ll cover it with some tarpaulin and old carpet to suppress the weeds. This ‘new’ bit is actually the other half of my own plot where I have my fruit cage, net tunnel and a big net cage. It just made sense to add that…..well, it made sense to me, anyway. The guy who gardened on it left and I started as I mean to continue.
There is only a small patch left to dig and I’m done.
All my other plots are ready, I just have to pull out some weeds that dared to appear! The last thing will be to tidy the raspberry plot – before the canes get growing I can trim the edges and weed the rows.
The weather should be good again tomorrow and I think I might be able to finish it all. One more task – must put a bag of my saved horse manure into each composter bin, to help the breakdown of the material in there.
As I have quite a bit of land I shall grow some annual flowers – it’ll add extra colour and also attract bees to the plants.
The time for measuring is here – the annual talest sunflower competition is upon us and this year I’m quite confident that I’ll do well.
The tallest one is 9ft and 11 inches. It stands beside the greenhouse so it is protected and also needs to grow tall to reach the light. I think that’s the secret!

Yale-NUS College announced Wednesday that its acceptance rate for its current class of freshmen was 5 percent, placing the school high — and above Yale College — among a list of the most selective undergraduate institutions worldwide.
Laura Severin, director of admissions and financial aid for the Singapore-based college, shared the previously publicly undisclosed admissions data for the class of 2020 in response to queries from the News. Per Severin’s data, Singaporeans continue to represent the largest pool of students in the class, and that the United States, India and China are the three most common countries of origin for the school’s international cohort. The announcement comes about a year after the students were admitted as the college prepares to release decisions for prospective students who applied in the school’s second and final admissions round for 2017.
“The Class of 2020 is composed of more than 200 students from 40 countries, the highest diversity of student nationalities in a single intake,” the college wrote in an August 2016 press release introducing the current freshman class. “With the new class, the Yale-NUS student body now comprises more than 700 students from 53 countries across six continents.”
Now in the midst of finalizing the fifth class of students to matriculate at Yale-NUS, the college’s admissions office has been reserved in its disclosure of data for admitted classes. Unlike Yale College and its peers in the United States, Yale-NUS has not publicly shared statistics detailing the high school academic performance or standardized test scores of matriculating students since sharing information regarding the SAT scores of students admitted in 2013 and 2014.
The college also does not share a breakdown of student enrollment by country, as is released annually by Yale’s Office of Institutional Research, choosing instead to provide a list of the different nationalities of students.
Though it was established as an autonomous college within the National University of Singapore, Yale-NUS does not follow the practice of NUS in releasing an indication of the grade profiles for the majority of applicants admitted in the previous academic year. A section of the admissions website devoted to frequently asked questions states that there is no “magical set of courses, grades, essay topics and accomplishments that will guarantee admission to Yale-NUS College.”
“We seek students who will thrive in the residential, liberal arts environment, and we value students with a global mindset and a willingness to explore new ideas and perspectives,” Severin said in an email. “The college practices holistic admissions and evaluates academic achievements, as well as recommendations, essays and extracurricular accomplishments and interviews.”
Although the college has previously released admissions statistics, including total application numbers and admit rates, this year the school did not provide this information in the August press release welcoming Yale-NUS class of 2020 to campus.
According to a November article in The Octant, Yale-NUS’ student newspaper, a student officer in the admissions office claimed that the admissions office had, however, shared the data in an earlier meeting with members of the parents’ association of a Singaporean college preparatory school.
Severin said the college received more applications for the class of 2020 than for the class of 2019, “confirming the strong interest in Yale-NUS College.” Prospective students can apply to Yale-NUS in three separate ways: through the college’s custom admissions portal, by selecting Yale-NUS on the Common Application or by selecting Yale College on the Common Application and agreeing to share their application with Yale-NUS when subsequently prompted.
Though the admissions office collects data on how many applications are received through each separate method, Severin declined to share specific numbers.
The college received more than 8,000 applications in 2016, Severin added. The number is a significant decline from the more than 12,000 applications received in 2014, though similar to the numbers in 2015, when the college reported receiving more than 8,500 applications.
Severin said the college expects to be able to share statistics on the admitted class of 2021 this June. Students admitted in the first of two applications rounds received their acceptances late last month, while students who applied in the second round will receive their decisions by early May.
Yale College admitted 6.27 percent of its applicants for the class of 2020 and admitted 6.9 percent of its applicants for the class of 2021.

When someone says the words ‘theoretical physicist’, a lot of people might think of Sheldon Cooper, one of the main characters in the popular US sitcom The Big Bang Theory.
But while Sheldon struggles to describe scientific facts in language understandable to the average person, one young Slovak theoretical physicist is doing the exact opposite.
“Physics doesn’t have to be this abstract, other-worldly thing; it can bring joy, even to laypeople,” said 32-year-old Samuel Kováčik, the man behind the increasingly popular Vedátor (Scientist) project explaining scientific phenomena in everyday, understandable language.
In recent years, Kováčik has become one of the best-known popularisers of science in the country.
His relative fame has come through Vedátor – his own online platform and fan page on Facebook and Instagram, which publishes stories on various scientific topics.

In 1954, the Supreme Court rejected the notion of "separate but equal" facilities in the famous Brown v. Board of Education decision. Highlighting the efforts of both blacks and whites to promote racial equality in the face of violent attempts to preserve white supremacy, Author David K. Fremon shows how segregation made the South a caste system. He traces the history of racial discrimination from the end of the Civil War through the Jim Crow era of segregation. After years of enduring separate facilities, including water fountains, telephone books, hospitals, and cemeteries, for whites and blacks, Fremon shows how African Americans and their white supporters were eventually able to win the battle for equal rights.

By helping young people recognise the signs of an unhealthy relationship, a group from Havant in Hampshire hope to show that controlling behaviour is never acceptable.
They want others their age, who may be having a negative experience, to identify the warning signals and seek support.
‘It’s not okay to feel controlled and contained by a partner,’ explains 16-year-old Tayah Winslade, who’s spokesperson for the group.
‘Both people should be happy and there should be trust and care for one another.
‘No one should feel like they’re walking on eggshells.’
With Fixers, the group have helped create a film to show the ways in which a variety of different relationships can be affected by certain attitudes.
The hypothetical situations covered include a young couple, a friendship and the relationship between a father and daughter.
Watch the group’s Fixers film ‘Healthy Relationships’ at the top of this page.
‘Bad signs include jealousy, possessiveness, fear and fighting,’ comments Tayah.
‘I hope that this film will show anyone going through this that there is help.
‘They are not trapped.’
While the group are keen to show their film to young people, they also want to raise awareness among other age groups.
‘I hope that it is shown in schools to all teenagers,’ adds Tayah.
‘But people should be able to see it on social media as well.
'Even if an individual has no close friends or family, they should know that there is always someone else out there to help.'
This project was supported by the Police Crime Commissioner for Hampshire & Isle of Wight.

Lots of lucky people opening up presents this Christmas! I have posted 2 quilts here. The first one was made by Connie for her grandson. This pattern was slow going to stitch, but it turned out great! It is called Sports Mania. We used it all over the quilt with silver thread and cotton batting. Nice work Connie - your grandson is going to love it!
The second quilt was made by Lyn. Take a look at all of those appliqued stars on the border. Nice work Lyn! Your son is one lucky man. We used wool batting for that puffy look with a design called Celebration all over in the middle. I used a design called Cotton candy (which I think looks like puffy clouds) all around the stars on the border. Hope you like the way it turned out!!!

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Former CFL star Lawrence Phillips has been charged with murder in the death of his cellmate at a Central California prison.
Phillips is suspected of killing 37-year-old Damion Soward at Kern Valley State Prison in April. Officials determined Soward was strangled. Soward is the cousin of former USC and Toronto Argonauts receiver R. Jay Soward.
The Kern County district attorney's office says Phillips, 40, faces a first-degree murder charge.
Phillips was once one of U.S. college football's top players at Nebraska. He played for the St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers during a three-year NFL career.
Phillips ran for 1,022 yards and 13 TDs with Montreal in 2002, helping the Alouettes win the Grey Cup that year. He was released during training camp in '03 for disciplinary reasons before joining the Calgary Stampeders.
Phillips appeared in eight games for Calgary, rushing for 486 yards and a TD before being released.
Phillips is serving a sentence of more than 31 years. He was convicted of choking his girlfriend and later of driving his car into three teens after a pickup football game.
KBAK-TV reported that Phillips was ordered back to court Sept. 15.

I think people misunderstood my previous question, and that's my fault. However, I think it's a good time to test out something I've been working on.
You see, I've been watching Lobotomy Corp playthroughs and realized that there is a certain dramatic weight to being fragile. Not so fragile that a single hit from anything will do you in, but using kiting and The Hellevator to escape Gevura's heavy attack is definitely a cool move.
Powered armor is supposed to reflect that. Basically, it can protect against anything that can be sprayed and allows for inhuman sprint-bursts to help evade larger-caliber weapons (more precisely, their users).
But, I'm uncertain if it makes sense from a military perspective. Assuming people have access to modern tech (as in weapons) plus this "fast" powered armor, would its sprinting bursts be useful in most combat situations?

Recently, as the serious damage caused by DDoS attacks increases, the rapid detection of the attack and the proper response mechanisms are urgent. Signature based DDoS detection systems cannot detect new attacks. Current anomaly based detection systems are also unable to detect all kinds of new attacks, because they are designed to restricted applications on limited environments. However, existing security mechanisms do not provide effective defense against these attacks, or the defense capability of some mechanisms is only limited to specific DDoS attacks. It is necessary to analyze the fundamental features of DDoS attacks because these attacks can easily vary the used port/protocol, or operation method. Also lot of research work has been done in detecting the attacks using machine learning techniques. Still what are the relevant features and which technique will be more suitable one for the attack detection is an open question. In this paper, we use the chi-square and Information gain feature selection mechanisms for selecting the important attributes. With the selected attributes, various machine learning models, like Navies Bayes, C4.5, SVM, KNN, K-means and Fuzzy c-means clustering are developed for efficient detection of DDoS attacks. Then our experimental results show that Fuzzy c-means clustering gives better accuracy in identifying the attacks.

Fair, Equitable, and Legally Defensible Stormwater Enterprise Funds: Part Three of an Ongoing Series
Read Part Two: What Is A Stormwater Utility Enterprise Fund?
More than 1,000 communities have switched from general fund revenue to a system of user fees under a stormwater utility enterprise fund to pay for stormwater services. With a stormwater utility, everyone pays their fair share of the cost of stormwater management. Further, the legal design of stormwater fees encourages proactive measures on the part of stakeholders to reduce impacts on the overall stormwater system, such as rain gardens, swales, and detention basins, and rewards those who’ve already put these relatively simple and cost-effective measures in place. The amount that any individual customer pays is based on their demand for stormwater management services and the cost of services that are provided. Understanding how stakeholders and the courts understand these fees as “fair” will assist in implementing a stormwater utility enterprise fund.
Establishing the nexus between the fees that are charged and the services provided has been the basis of determining the fairness of stormwater utility fees from the beginning. A precedent-setting and frequently cited court ruling is Bolt v City of Lansing (1998). In that case, the Michigan Supreme Court established three tests that a stormwater utility fee must pass to be fair, equitable and legally defensible:
- Fee is for a regulatory purpose with public benefits for those charged
- Fee is proportional to the cost of services received (or provided), and
- Fee is voluntary (i.e. there is a means to opt out of paying for the fee when no services are received).
All stormwater programs, with or without a stormwater utility, serve a regulatory purpose. Therefore, this test is rarely the basis of any challenge. Stormwater programs are all regulatory driven ranging from public health and safety; floodplain management; National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permitting; and pollutant reduction targets of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL). Clarity on what these goals are, and progress towards them, should be part of the utility’s mission.
The proportionality of the fee to the cost of services is the most common basis for legal challenges. Fair, equitable, and legally defensible utilities establish a nexus between not only the runoff characteristics of each parcel and what percent of the cost of the stormwater program that is paid, but also between the services required to manage the volume and water quality of runoff and the portion of fee that is paid.
Courts have been lenient in their interpretation on how a community calculates the fair share that each customer is charged. If the logic meets the test of being reasonable, courts have ruled in favor of the stormwater utility. The most common algorithm for calculating runoff proportionality is determined by the amount of impervious area. There are variations to this methodology and objections to these methods are few.
The public’s concerns are what are they going to get in consideration for paying the stormwater fee and are they getting their money’s worth. Tools to assist in reducing the fee, and to see where the paid fee goes, will help address these concerns.
To be a true stormwater user fee, courts have ruled that the fee must be voluntary. Customers must be given the opportunity to opt out of all or part of the fee. The courts interpret the voluntary nature of stormwater utility fees through the utility’s system of credits, rebates, in-kind services and service areas that allows the user to adjust/modify stormwater fees so that the individual pays only for the services that they receive. Courts and utility oversight agencies have ruled that to be considered a user fee, there must be a credit given that is proportional to the cost of the services avoided by the actions taken by an individual stormwater user.
- Credits are granted to individuals who build and properly maintain their own stormwater management facilities. These credits are an acknowledgement of the reduction of service impact that results from the controls of the privately operated stormwater system on the municipal stormwater system and permit compliance programs.
- Rebates are a onetime payment to customers for privately constructed stormwater facilities. A rebate is often used with single family residential customers who receive the credit in one lump sum.
- In-Kind Services is another method to create a win-win situation and to help develop public acceptance of the utility. This is a strategy that can be used with school districts that agree to assist with public education through their curriculum or by donating land for the construction of a stormwater best management practice (BMP) for community educational purposes.
- Service Areas allow communities to adjust fees over large multiple parcel zones that require fewer or less costly services to manage stormwater runoff. As an example, Georgia’s Athens-Clarke County has five (5) service areas: Urban, Rural, University of Georgia, Riparian and MS4 Permits.
A Strong Defense
Case law on stormwater utilities demonstrates the need for municipalities to work with experts who can pass these three tests of regulatory purpose, proportionality and the voluntary nature of the user fees. A recent challenge of a Pennsylvania stormwater fee could have been avoided with more attention to the voluntary nature of setting the proposed user fees. The challenge to the proposed fees arose from strong opposition from the agricultural community. These agricultural operations claimed the fees were excessive because there was not enough consideration nor any discount given for the beneficial land management practices that were already incorporated into their farming operations.

This is not the first time Mu Lele has hit Yan Xibo's arm, but it is the first time when an outsider hit Yan Xibo's arm. She even touched the muscles on Yan Xibo's arm through the shirt. ,"you dare!"
The atmosphere in the car was awkward for a moment, the manager lowered his head, he didn't know how to adjust the situation in front of him. I heard that the two were at odds, but I didn't expect that they would not only disagree, but also fight.
Mu Lele turned her head and stared at the timid manager, "You can't even get comprehensive and timely news. How did you become a leader? Does that mean that they don't contact customers or work?"
The two people in the car were yelled at by Mu Lele.
The manager didn't dare to speak when he saw the president, let alone him.
Mu Lele looked at Yan Xibo's dark side face, knowing that Yan Xibo didn't like being with Abu, she deliberately said: "Tomorrow I will be with Abu, if you dare to fire him, you will also fire me." gone."
Yan Xibo leaned his arms on the armrest, looked at Mu Lele who was angry with him, took a deep breath, his brows were stern, "Mu Lele, I asked you to work, not to make friends."
Mu Lele looked at Yan Xibo, "He wasn't my friend originally, but I think his existence can annoy you, so he is my friend. I still have to protect him. If you dare to fire him, I will dare to fire him." Resign. If he doesn't have a job, I dare to take care of him."
The manager's eyes widened instantly, not daring to
Believing what he heard, he looked at Miss Mu's family and said directly...to support...Abu?
When he turned his head to look at Yan Xibo again, his body became cold for a moment, and his eyes were oppressive, looking at Mu Lele for a moment.
Yan Xibo started the car and said directly: "Get out of the car."
The manager knew it was interesting and knew it was meant for him, so he got out of the car without stopping.
The air outside the car is so free.
Then, Yan Xibo directly drove Mu Lele away from the sales department.
Galloping all the way, Yan Xibo stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, Mu Lele turned his face away, and did not meet Yan Xibo's eyes.
Every time the good impression between the two of them will not last more than three days.
Arriving at the Mu's Manor, Yan Xibo got out of the car and went directly to the co-pilot, without saying a word, grabbed Mu Lele's wrist, and pulled towards the house.
Mu Lele was wearing high heels, sprained, "Yan Xibo, you are sick, let me go." She shook the man's big hand on her wrist, "Let go of me."
Yan Xibo grabbed her into the living room, while Mu Lele was still pushing his palm, and her wrist was pinched red.
Dian Dian didn't fall asleep. Hearing the movement downstairs, he obediently went out to take a look. What he saw was the cruel father holding Mu Mu up the steps. When he saw Dian Dian, Yan Xibo ordered in a deep voice, " Go back to bed."
Dian Dian grabbed the railing with her small hand, and walked back obediently.
Mu Lele was pulled
They went to the bedroom of the two of them, and as soon as they entered, Yan Xibo pushed her hard before letting go. "Mu Lele, I'm warning you, please pay attention to me during marriage."
Mu Lele staggered a bit before standing still. She swept the hair on her forehead casually, her delicate face was full of dissatisfaction at the moment, "I want to pay attention to you, you are dreaming. You don't want me to be with Abu, and I still prefer I'm going to be with him, tomorrow I'll be with him, I...ah, Yan Xibo, you push...uh"
Yan Xibo looked at Mu Lele's irritating little mouth. He walked over, grabbed Mu Lele and pushed her down on the bed. He stepped forward, pinched Mu Lele's jaw, and kissed her directly the next moment.
Mu Lele's struggling hands were held directly by him, and he kissed so hard that the heavy man's body was directly pressed against Mu Lele's small body, with a punishing and predatory kiss, oppressing Mu Lele so that he could not move.
She opened her mouth, and Yan Xibo's long tongue drove in, filling her entire mouth.
Mu Lele was crushed under her body and couldn't move. The hands she had managed to break free, before she could make a move on Yan Xibo, were seized again the next second. The man's smell lingered in from her nose, and the big tongue in her mouth made her blush with anger, she didn't know whether it was shame or annoyance.
Not far from the guest room, Diandian thought of the scary godfather just now, so the child subconsciously called his dependent mother out of concern.
Mu Lele's eyes were red from being kissed. She was sobbing intermittently, and her resistance was no longer fierce. Yan Xibo felt the sobbing of the girl under him. He opened his eyes, stopped his movements, and then slowly raised his head, looking at The red-eyed girl who hadn't been in front of him for so many years, now the whites of her eyes are pink, and her eye sockets are foggy. At this moment, the girl's delicate lips became blood red, and the skin was torn in some places, and the pink and tender uvula was also bright red at this moment.
Yan Xibo's breath was still on Mu Lele's face, the anger in his eyes just now faded away, and now he didn't look like he was burning with anger just now, but he still didn't get up, "Lele, my bottom line is that our marriage .”
Mu Lele panted heavily, her chest swelled slightly, her eyes were burning with small flames and she stared at the man on her body, "My bottom line is, I won't make it easier for you!"
Yan Xibo pursed his lips, with a cold expression on his face, just as he was pinching Mu Lele's jaw and was about to clean her up again, Yan Xibo's cell phone rang.
Yan Xibo swallowed his saliva, glanced at Mu Lele, finally got up from Mu Lele, picked up the phone to connect, "Hello, Xu Luo, what's the matter?"
Mu Lele sat up from the bed, looked at Yan Xibo who looked like a man in a suit and leather shoes, and thought of his taking advantage of him several times, her grievance rose from the bottom of her heart, and she ran directly to the bathroom.
When I was wronged before, I immediately called my grandfather to complain, but so many times
, Mu Lele also discovered that as long as it was related to Yan Xibo, even if she suffered a great grievance, Grandpa would not stand by her side.
Mu Lele wiped her eyes with both hands, and turned on the tap to wash her face.
Yan Xibo picked up the phone, turned around and glanced at Mu Lele's leaving back, and answered Xu Luo's call, "We're fine."
"Xibo, you know that Lele has a bad temper, so you follow her. The more you provoke her, the more you push her away." Xu Luo also contacted Mu Lele a few times, Xu Luo didn't know who she was Got it, "Although Lele loves to play, she has a plan in her heart. But the more you don't let her do something, the more she will do it against you. If you talk to her carefully, she won't listen of.
Even though Lele said that the world doesn't believe you the least, she has her own ruler in her heart, and she will listen to it. "
Thinking of the sound of running water in the bathroom, Yan Xibo sat on the sofa and took a deep breath, "You go to bed early, and don't worry about other things."
After speaking, Yan Xibo hung up the phone.
After a while, Xu Luo called Mu Lele again, but she was taking a shower. When Yan Xibo saw the caller, he hung up for Mu Lele, and then used his mobile phone to call back: she was taking a shower.
After a while, Mu Lele went out and changed into clean clothes, ready to go out.
Yan Xibo directly blocked the door, "Where are you going?"

POLICE are advising local people to be aware of scam mail which promises a cash windfall.
The warning comes after officers received several reports from residents who had received letters claiming to be from various overseas financial organisations.
The letters suggested that they were due to receive a large amount of inheritance money from the estate of an individual who had now died.
All the addressee had to do to was email, fax or telephone the sender to claim their money and the letters included, what may appear to some people, to be plausible explanations of how the situation had transpired and used emotive and persuasive language.
It also appealed to recipients to keep its contents confidential.
Detective Sergeant Neil Clarkson of Humberside police’s economic crime unit said: “Letters like this one are too good to be true - and that’s what I would advise members of the public to question if they are the recipient of a letter or email similar to this one.
“The letter stated that the recipient should contact the sender to receive the money, but in these cases the recipients contacted the police - and that’s exactly what I would suggest any one else receiving this or any other similar communication should do
“Sadly, we receive many reports of scams like this one, but thankfully most people see them for what they are, and report them to the police without giving away their personal or banking details.
“I would urge all residents to be vigilant and, if you have elderly relatives or neighbours, ask them to be aware of this scam.”

Texas cities all have very unique skylines, complete with towers to catch a great view of the city. One of my favorite views happens to be from the Tower of Americas in San Antonio. Look closely at the white roof surrounded by trees all the way on the right-side of the picture. There’s the Alamo!!
Austin, Texas is full of tons of fun art murals just painted on random sides of buildings. We love to hunt them down as a family and take our picture with them. The “Greetings from Austin” mural is one of my favorites! Next time you are in Austin, make sure you get your picture with it!
One of the best places to go to see a working Texas ranch that is completely open to the public for tours (for free!!) is the LBJ Ranch at the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park out in Stonewall, Texas. I love how Texas it feels while you are driving through the fields dotted with these gorgeous Hereford cattle. Then you get to walk through the Texas White House and learn some amazing Texas History. What a treasure.
With over 600 miles of shoreline in Texas, chances are you are going to see some gorgeous sunsets over the water. I particularly love the ones you can see out of Galveston Bay. But with so many lakes and rivers here, there are gorgeous water sunsets all over the state.

Wolves Former Players’ Association have officially handed over donations of £2,000 apiece to their chosen charities from last year’s Golf Day.
The event, organised by former midfielder Steve Daley and wife Lyn along with help from the WFPA committee, saw 25 teams take to the Oxley Park course followed by evening entertainment hosted by Daley and former Wolves team-mate Steve Kindon.
A total of £8,000 was raised to be shared between Smile for Joel, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, Clic Sargent and the Maureen Parkes Breast Care fund.
The cheques were handed over at a gathering at the Fox Inn at Shipley on Tuesday night, with thanks to landlord Neil Taylor, who was representing Birmingham Children’s Hospital for whom he has carried out his own array of fundraising challenges.
“The golf day was a fantastic event where former players and Wolves supporters were able to get together whilst also raising money for some very important and deserving causes,” says Wolves FPA Vice-Chairman John Richards, who scored 194 goals for the club during 14 years at Molineux.
“We were delighted to welcome the charity representatives to officially receive the donations, which will have a really positive impact on their work.
“It is always good for the former players to get together and chat about old times, and we are all committed to helping out in the local community as much as we can.”
Richard Green, Administrator with the Wolves FPA, added: “So many of the former players from that era have stayed in the local area, and it is to their immense credit that they are willing to give up their time to help raise money for charities.
“We are continuing to grow as an organisation both to ensure that the club’s former players are able to meet up and socialise but also that we can make a positive difference in the local community.”
As well as those charities mentioned, a donation was made last year to the Birch Thompson Memorial Fund, which provides thousands of youngsters with the chance to enjoy outdoor experiences through its Gelliwig centre in Porthmadog.
Former players are also making regular visits to the Molineux Memories group, run by Wolverhampton Wanderers Foundationin partnership with the Black Country NHS team from Blakenhall Resource Centre for individuals with dementia.
And Karl Henry and Kevin Foley both visited the Good Shepherd Centre prior to Christmas to meet staff and service users and hand over donations of food and other items both from themselves and the FPA.
The next event for the FPA is the Annual Dinner, taking place at Molineux on April 10th.

Enable Fingerprint Sensor on Google Pixel 3
Google Pixel 3 seems to have it all: a great camera with AI-assisted goodies and two front-facing camera lenses, Wireless charging adds convenience, while Google Assistant actually knows more about you than Siri ever will, but there is a small issue that I cannot deny. Like it or not, Fingerprint sensor is the only form of bio-authentication on the phone, the device being one step behind Apple’s face-scanning handsets at this chapter.
However, the fingerprint sensor on the back of the Google Pixel 3 does more than simply unlocking your phone. You can also swipe your finger down or up on it to pull the notification drawer down or push it up which is always handy on a device such as yours where it can be hard to reach the top of the pretty large screen.
Even more, for the fingerprint scanner to operate, your hands must be clean and free of any sort of moisture, dirt, oil, lotions and so on. And just as we have seen on both Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, up to no less than five fingerprints can be registered on the device, so your wife can unlock it too and so can your loved one or your kids if you allow them in the first place to do that. So, what do you say? Are you ready for the procedure?
Enable Fingerprint Sensor on Google Pixel 3:
- First of all, you have to open up the Settings application;
- Up next, tap the System option;
- Tap the Gestures option;
- Then, tap the Swipe Fingerprint for Notifications option;
- Now, just tap the toggle. You can swipe down or up on the fingerprint sensor, and like that, you’ll see the notification drawer moving up and down;
- Even more, let me tell you that a quick swipe on the fingerprint reader lets you open your notification shade. As the feature is turned off by default you will first need to enable it, so head into Settings > Moves and while here, do not hesitate to enable Swipe for notifications.


Elon Musk Is ‘Excited About The Twitter Situation’
Elon Musk is 'excited' about the future of Twitter.

He said this on Wednesday evening's Tesla earnings call.
"I'm happy with the situation on Twitter," he said.
He called it an asset "that has suffered a little bit for a long time."
But he also complained about the $44 billion price tag of the deal.
In April, he agreed to pay $54.20 per share for the company.
Musk said, “myself and the other investors are obviously overpaying for Twitter right now.”
However, he praised the "long-term potential" that Twitter has.
Musk has until Oct. 28 to finalize the deal before a new trial date is set for November.

Here we are, at the end of this epic road — “Fifty Shades Freed” is here, bringing the rather spectacular “Fifty Shades” movie trilogy to a close at long last. If you’re a fan of this franchise (as I am), it’s a bittersweet moment. I, for one, wish they would keep making these movies forever. Alas, they’ve run out of books to adapt.
You are watching: Fifty shades darker after credits
As the credits on “Fifty Shades Freed” start to roll, you may find yourself sitting there stunned. Is that it? Is it really over? Could there possibly be one more juicy morsel of sexy content in store after the credits? I can’t imagine I’ll be alone in having that internal monologue after the movie ended. “Fifty Shades Darker” included a teaser for “Freed” after the credits, but obviously there are no more movies in the series. But, hey, maybe they shot one last goodbye for the fans, or so I hoped.
There is one little postscript scene on “Fifty Shades Freed,” but it happens so soon after the credits roll that you almost certainly won’t have had time to leave the theater before it begins. I won’t spoil exactly what it is, but it’s the same as the final scene from the book — a little extra nugget giving you a glimpse at the life of Anastasia (Dakota Johnson) and Christian (Jamie Dornan) a couple years after the events of the movies. After that scene, there is sadly nothing else after the credits.

We, of course, always encourage movie viewers to stay for the credits, but if you need to hit the bathroom or are otherwise in a rush, you can feel safe knowing that there’s nothing to wait for after the credits conclude.
Ah, such is life. We’ll have to be content with the joy of seeing the finale of possibly the greatest guilty pleasure movie trilogies in all its glory on the big screen as God intended.

'Frozen River': Right calls in story full of wrong turns
By Tasha Robinson
At this point, "escalating-bad-decision story" is practically its own cinematic genre, stretching from the noir films of the 1940s through to modern movies such as "Very Bad Things" or "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead." In escalating-bad-decision films, a character usually tries to cover up an accident or a poor initial choice, like a drug addiction or an affair, and things spiral rapidly out of control, leading to worse choices, increasingly rickety house-of-cards situations and an ugly collapse.
This is one of many reasons that Courtney Hunt's quiet drama "Frozen River" is so remarkable. Like similar films in which unhappy people face untenable options, "Frozen River" builds up a considerable weight of tension and inevitability, as protagonist Ray Eddy (played by "Homicide: Life On The Street's" Melissa Leo) digs herself into a dangerous hole. But "River" is kinder to Ray than most such films. It doesn't condemn her choices as unworthy or stupid, and it isn't nearly as cruel as it could be about the consequences.
Ray is a semisingle mom raising two kids in a run-down trailer in Massena, N.Y., just across the St. Lawrence River from Canada. Her husband keeps running off and gambling away their paltry savings—including the balloon payment that would have kept them from losing their deposit on a new home—and her limited hours at a local dollar store don't begin to make ends meet. Together, she and her boys—15-year-old T.J. (Charlie McDermott) and 5-year-old Ricky (James Reilly)—sullenly endure the hundred little humiliations of poverty: popcorn dinners, scrabbling through couch cushions for lunch money, fending off repo men.
Then Ray crosses paths with a local Mohawk girl, Lila Littlewolf, who lives on a reservation on the Canadian border. Lila has been shuttling illegal immigrants into the U.S. across the frozen St. Lawrence, but she no longer has a working vehicle. Like Ray, she desperately needs money to support a child—a little girl confiscated by Lila's mother-in-law after Lila's husband "went down" during a smuggling run. Ray has the car, Lila has the contacts and an awkward, prickly relationship of convenience is born, one with significant physical as well as legal risks.
Hunt based her somber story on real-life New York border smugglers, and she neither sensationalizes nor romanticizes their situation. Her unflinching realism gets a tremendous assist from her convincing, subdued cast. Leo, in particular, turns in an Oscar-worthy performance that comes in rich layers: Ray's rough, aggressively matter-of-fact exterior only barely hides a blazing anger at the world, which in turn only barely hides her fears. McDermott is less nuanced, but the open, raw frustration on his face as he tries to wedge himself into place as the man of the house is simultaneously dispiriting and sweet. Those words could apply to much of the film, which finds a little comfort in the connections between people even as it heads down unpleasant roads.
Possibly one of the biggest reasons "Frozen River" stands out among bad-decision movies is that Ray never really tries to justify her actions. She knows she's breaking the law; she knows she's helping exploit desperate, frightened people. She even worries (with unflattering ignorance) that the Pakistani family she's bringing across the river might be terrorists, but she doesn't let that slow her down. Family, independence and pride come first, and her willingness to pay any price for those things comes across as laudable, no matter how bad things get as a result. Most bad-decision movies engender contempt for their hapless, often foolish characters. "Frozen River" instead invites viewers to mull over the painful factors that sometimes go into deciding to break the law, and wonder whether they'd do any better in Ray's place.
Opening: Aug. 15 at Landmark's Century Centre Cinema and the Cinemark Cine Arts in Evanston.
Starring: Melissa Leo (Ray Eddy); Misty Upham (Lila); Charlie McDermott (T.J.).
Directed and written by: Courtney Hunt; edited by Kate Williams; photographed by Reed Morano; production design by Inbal Weinberg; music by Peter Golub and Shahzad Ismaily; produced by Chip Hourihan and Heather Rae. A Sony Pictures Classics release.

Up On The Marquee: BERNHARDT/HAMLET Arrives on Broadway
Roundabout Theatre Company's premiere of Theresa Rebeck's Bernhardt/Hamlet, directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel, is hard at play on Broadway! Check out the play's marquee at the American Airlines Theatre!
The cast also includes Matthew Saldivar as "Alphonse Mucha," Nick Westrateas "Maurice," Paxton Whitehead as "Louis," Ito Aghayere as "Rosamond," Brittany Bradford as "Lysette," Aaron Costa Ganis as "Raoul" and Triney Sandoval as "Francois."
Mark Twain wrote, "There are five kinds of actresses: bad actresses, fair actresses, good actresses, great actresses. And then there is Sarah Bernhardt." In 1899, the international stage celebrity set out to tackle her most ambitious role yet: Hamlet. Theresa Rebeck's new play rollicks with high comedy and human drama, set against the lavish Shakespearean production that could make or break Bernhardt's career. Janet McTeer brings the legendary leading lady to life.

Notes and Editorial Reviews
Tenor Kristian Benedikt began his career as a lyric tenor in his native Lithuania, but has since blossomed into one of the opera world’s finest dramatic tenors in challenging roles like Otello. His immensely powerful and dark-hued voice enables him to shine in several of Wagner’s “Heldentenor” roles as well; yet he remains a highly versatile singer who also continues to excel in lyric and spinto roles. In this, Kristian’s debut recording, he proves his wide-ranging artistry in a highly varied program of mostly well-known arias by composers including Verdi, Puccini, Saint-Saens, Massenet, Tchaikovsky and Wagner (among others). He also treats us to a rarely-heard novelty: an aria from his countryman Vytautas Klova’s Pilenai- an opera that is practically unknown beyond Lithuania. Kristian is beautifully supported by the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra and the Lithuanian National Opera Chorus under the deft baton of conductor Modestas Pitrenas.
Lithuanian tenor Kristian Benedikt, who started out as a lyrical tenor at the Lithuanian National Opera in Vilnius, has gradually conquered the dramatic repertoire and is today one of leading exponents of the title role in Otello, a role he has sung more than 120 times all around Europe as well as in North and South America. His power and brilliance, which impressed me greatly eight years ago, are even more impressive here and his deep involvement and sensitive soft declamation in the opening Otello aria amply demonstrate why he is such great demand for this role. His rising to a magnificent climax at che mi fa vivo, che mi fa lietocreates goose-pimples, which persist when he delivers a super-charged final santo coll’orrida larva infernal.
Vytautas Klova’s Pilenai is by far the most popular Lithuanian opera, though it is practically unknown outside Lithuania. It is set in the same period as the Ponchielli opera. The aria was originally written for high baritone and Benedikt sings it transposed slightly upwards. Rarities in recitals are always welcome and this programme is a healthy mix between standard arias, more rarely performed pieces and the completely unknown. Conductor Modestas Pitrenas draws excellent singing and playing from the choral and orchestral forces, and Delos’ recording is up to their usual standard. Really good dramatic tenors are still in short supply and Kristian Benedikt is a valuable addition to that supply.

Why organic bed linens for your healthy bedroom?
There are several good reasons to choose organic duvet covers, sheets, and pillows. When you look back at the history of cotton farming over the span of human existence, there are some startling aspects to the practice.
Organic bed linens are made from organically grown cotton free of harmful pesticides. For nearly 4,000 years, cotton was grown organically everywhere and the need for such measures wasn’t even a concern. That changed right after WWII, when the use of chemically intensive agriculture became the norm to help keep up with supply and demand efforts. Over the years, insects have become resistant to chemical applications and more pesticides are required to combat them destroying the crops. As a result, the cotton of today is now the most heavily sprayed field crop in the world. Despite the growing concerns for both the environmental impact and the health risks, chemicals are still being used in the production of cotton. Aside from the growing practices, chemicals are used during manufacturing in ways such as flame-retardant sprays and color dyes. When you choose to invest in high-quality, organic cotton duvets and bed linens, you are making a conscious decision about the overall health of your household while also alleviating the stress placed on the planet. Using organic cotton benefits the environment by preventing pollution of air, water, and soil. Best of all, organic products are free of the substances that affect many chemically sensitive people with their naturally hypoallergenic properties. Organic means a cleaner, more healthful environment for family farmers who grow the cotton, and ultimately for us all.
We are pleased to bring you a wide selection of organic duvet covers to meet your needs with ease. With trusted brands known for their commitment to high-quality harvesting and manufacturing practices, such as Coyuchi, Crescent Moon, glo Organics, and many more, rest assured these options for safe, clean organic cotton duvets meet your high standards of excellence. Every option we feature in our collection has been made with attention to detail throughout to ensure the best in comfort and long-lasting quality. Whether looking for the elegance of Mari Ann silk duvet covers which will envelop you in luxurious material, brushed flannel duvet covers perfect for chilly fall nights, or a damask weave with organic cotton and natural linen for a textured appeal, you are sure to find the right choice for your preferences with our selection. Best of all, many of these options come complete with the accompanying shams to help you create a polished bedroom setting while relishing in superior comfort and organic manufacturing. Choose from several sizes and colors to find the right addition to your home.
At The Clean Bedroom, we are honored to be your source for a range of organic home solutions. With a focus on customer satisfaction and only the highest standards in the products we offer, we are confident you will have an outstanding customer service experience.

As the war in Ukraine makes clear, democratization in post communist Europe and Eurasia is not simply slow or stalled. It is actively opposed by forces that are determined to see it fail.
Findings of the 2015 edition of Nations in Transit (NIT), Freedom House’s annual study of democratic governance in 29 countries from Central Europe to Central Asia, underscore the growing audacity of democracy’s foes in Eurasia, where 4 in 5 people live under authoritarian rule.
- Of the 29 countries assessed for 2014, 13 were rated as democracies, 6 as transitional regimes, and 10 as authoritarian regimes.
- Russia earned its largest ratings decline in a decade in 2014, as the Kremlin stepped up suppression of dissent at home while seeking to destabilize the new government in Ukraine.
- As in each of the previous 10 years, the average democracy score declined in 2014, with 12 countries suffering downgrades.
- Following the collapse of Viktor Yanukovych’s corrupt presidency, and two rounds of well-administered, competitive elections, Ukraine received four ratings improvements for 2014.
- Four out of seven countries registered declines in the Balkans, with journalists in a precarious situation and stalling judicial reforms.
- Hungary, driving the decline in Central and Eastern Europe, was demoted from “consolidated democracy” to “semi-consolidated democracy.” The demotion came after seven straight years of score declines.
