New Delhi, July 20 (IANS): For Brian Cox, an actor's job is to reflect the truth. The "X-Men" star, however, feels people don't really understand actors.
"People don't really understand actors very much. I constantly find that actors are misunderstood," Cox, 73, told IANS over the phone from London.
"People think that actors do some kind of magic. I'd go back to William Shakespeare's ‘Hamlet' quote, 'twere, the mirror up to nature' to describe my job as an actor," he added.
Cox says he finds the journey of exploring human experiences through his work fascinating.
"(My job is) To tell the truth about situations, about why people come to be what they are. That is endlessly fascinating. It gets more fascinating at my age," he pointed out.
Cox feels it gets better with age.
"I'm in my seventies now and I am still fascinated with trying to understand what the human experience is, and why. Why did we invent all these religions? What does it reflect on our life experiences? What is humanity and what are we as human beings?
"This is what I enjoy about my job. I am always given another insight (through my projects) into how human beings operate. It is fascinating and endlessly interesting.
"It is all about telling the truth about certain situations – that has been my drive as an actor whether I am playing King Lear, Hermann Göring or Winston Churchill. (The effort is) To get to the truth of what people are – not just what we see in terms of our presentation, but getting into the inner life as well," the actor explained.
Starting his career in theatre, Cox has carved a place for himself with power-packed performances as the anti-mutant villain William Stryker in the "X-Men" movies, the villainous opportunist King Agamemnon in "Troy", CIA Deputy Director Ward Abbott in the "Bourne" franchise and Winston Churchill in "Churchill".
At present, Cox, who started working in the sixties, is seen as media mogul Logan Roy in the show "Succession", aired in India on Star World.
The Scottish actor finds flaws charming, and roles dipped in hues of grey attractive.
"Most human beings have flaws. That is a human condition. I don't know anybody who is perfect," the actor chuckled.
He continued: "Flawed characters are interesting. They always say that 'the Devil has the best tunes'. I will not go that far, but I understand where that comes from. My interest (in flawed characters), from an actor's point of view and from what I try to do, is to tell the truth about people."
Picking his role of Hermann Göring in the 2000s television docu-drama "Nuremberg" as a reference point, the actor explained: "I learnt a lot while playing Göring. I learnt about a man who has a certain belief system, as well as what came up against the holocaust and stuff like that.
"There is a good book which has come out in Germany about the (World War) period, with historians pointing out that many people got away with it because they were organisers. I think that nobody is exempt from some kind of responsibility," said Cox.
In a seamless way, Cox connects it with his present role of Logan in "Succession", which follows the lives of the Roy family as they contemplate their future once their aging father (essayed by Cox) begins to step back from his media and entertainment conglomerate.
"Logan is also not exempt (from the consequences of his action) but he has his reason for doing what he does. He isn't a lover of humanity because he is disappointed by it. It goes back to his childhood. It all goes back to childhood every time," he said.
The second season of "Succession" premieres internationally in August.
Although the show is very "consuming", Cox hopes he will get to do another season.

Finished, great game, thanks Grandad :-) Surprised myself in the well, only took me five minutes or so. My 5 year got great satisfaction hearing the sarcastic laugh in that maze
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2016 5:29 pm
I've been in the ghost area to find the statue, and have filled the room with water by pressing the button, but can't find the statue. I also need to get the pear down from the tree, get the door handle out of the lava, sort out the maze down the well, do something to get the church open, retrieve the cake from the cloud, find scotch for Grand Dizzy and do something with his pot plant. Also find another lift key.
I can flip pull one of the handles down the well but the other I can reach won't budge. I must need flippers to get around down there?
I've got the scuba gear, pickaxe (used once in the castle), bone (unused), broom (unused), carpet (unused), loud hailer (unused), dragon's head (unused), sharp sword (used once) & wood saw (used once).
Any clues about my next move?
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2016 5:53 pm
Armorog - this bit had me stumped for a bit as well, but for some strange reason I tried throwing one of the items you have in the water and surprisingly (to me) it worked. Maybe it was because it was full of hot air!
And one of your items can be used again to gain a coin.
Grandad - when I press the 'Reply with Quote' button on the bottom right of a comment, it automatically puts the name in, then I just delete the bits I don't want to repeat.
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2016 6:02 pm
Thanks a lot FrogAndHat. I've just figured out which water you meant, you're right, a less than obvious move!
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2016 7:43 pm
Got a bit further....I can't reach the second pygmy cow.
I think the main thing I have to do is somehow use the salt (property of Lot) to make something float in order to move the red slider past the ghosts, but I've tried every object on the jar and all it says is 'property of Lot'. Am I right?
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2016 8:25 pm
There's something else hiding in the chapel that floats...
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2016 9:04 pm
Noggin, I've already found the rubber duck
but that's not helping me anywhere either.
Please don't tell me I've should've put it down since I filled up with water, as I've saved it various times since I did that...
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2016 9:24 pm
Armorog - the button not only lets water in, but lets it out again as well! Granted, I thought that if I dropped a floating object in water, it would float upwards, but it doesn't, it has to be put on water.
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2016 10:11 pm
Thanks again FrogAndHat. I started again anyway, and have finally got to the green ghost and the buttons under coloured symbols throught those two doors - this looks tricky...better call it a day and come back to it tomorrow (and the help thread, no doubt!)

Armorog - there was a clue to that puzzle in the library, and you have seen the order in which to press the buttons.

On June 25, 2020, Sidley partner, Alan Raul, founder and co-head of Sidley’s privacy and cybersecurity practice, hosted Bruno Gencarelli, head of International Data Flows and Protection at the European Commission, for a Monitor-Side Chat.
The discussion focused largely on the Commission’s report on two years of the GDPR which was issued on 24 June 2020. Key themes of the report include:
- EU data protection authorities (“DPAs”) should increase their efforts towards the adoption of a harmonised approach to responding to cross-border investigations;
- a call for greater resources to be given to DPAs by EU Member States to ensure the GDPR is sufficiently enforced;
- a need for greater consistency among EU Member States on interpretations of the GDPR in national laws in order to avoid unnecessary burdens on companies; and
- greater utilisation of the data portability right under the GDPR to ensure individuals have greater involvement in the digital economy by enabling them to switch between different service providers and make use of other innovative services.
On 19 February 2020, the European Commission published a white paper on the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) in the EU (the “White Paper”). The White Paper forms part of the Commission President, Ursula Von der Leyen’s, digital strategy, one of the key pillars of her administration’s five year tenure, recognising that the EU has fallen behind the US and China with respect to the strategic deployment of AI. To tackle this problem, the Commission proposes a common EU approach to ‘speed up the uptake’ of AI in the EU, whilst also tackling the human and ethical implications of AI’s fast growing use in the EU, including the possible downsides of its use, such as opaque decision making and hidden, embedded gender and racial discrimination. In order to achieve a common EU approach to AI, and to create “trustworthy” AI that can rival developments in the US and China, the Commission proposes the creation of a regulatory framework for AI.
Ongoing confusion about lawful basis for data processing in a clinical study environment: European Data Protection Board and European Commission on the one hand and certain Member States on the other differ on the correct approach. Swiss sponsors operating clinical studies in the EU face ongoing uncertainty around the appropriate lawful basis for processing study subject personal data in spite of guidance being published by the European Commission and the European Data Protection Board.
Case: WM Morrison Supermarkets plc v Various Claimants  UKSC 12
In a decision that employers will welcome, the UK Supreme Court recently ruled that Morrison Supermarkets (Morrisons) was not vicariously liable for a data breach committed maliciously by a former employee who, acting to satisfy a personal vendetta against Morrisons, disclosed employee payroll data online.
On 20 March 2020, the European Data Protection Board (“EDPB”) released a statement on the protection of personal data in connection with measures that public authorities and business organizations (including employers) are taking to address the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This statement is an extension of the statement released by the EDPB chair on 16 March 2020, (which can be accessed here). In its latest statement, the EDPB emphasises that EU data protection law (in particular, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”)) does not stand in the way of measures adopted to fight against COVID-19 – if these measures are necessary, proportionate and consistent with safeguards required under EU Member State laws. The EDPB statement also provides useful guidance for organisations to consider when adopting measures to lawfully process personal data during this time.
Overall, while EDPB statement may provide some reassurance to organizations with respect to COVID-19 measures, organizations will be advised to consider guidance issued by specific EU Member State data protection authorities as well. In particular, specific EU Member State data protection authorities have begun issuing COVID-19 guidance that is, at least in certain respects divergent: while certain data protection authorities are adopting a more restrictive approach (for example, the French CNIL), others are more permissible (for example, the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office).
The COVID-19 crisis has created significant cybersecurity risks for organizations across the world, particularly arising from remote working, scams and phishing attacks, and weakened information governance controls. These risks warrant attention by legal counsel and information security officers in light of potentially significant adverse legal, financial and reputational consequences that could arise – all while the organization is dealing with effects of a global pandemic.
In addition to identifying the cybersecurity risks, we also consider key measures that organizations can consider adopting to reduce such risks, including measures recommended by the UK’s National Cybersecurity Centre (NCSC), EU’s Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation. The speed at which the COVID-19 crisis has evolved has meant that many organizations have not been able to deploy effective risk-reducing measures in a timely manner.
In light of the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the ICO has today issued guidance on “Data protection and coronavirus: what you need to know” for data controllers. The ICO has also published advice for healthcare practitioners. Guidance has also been issued by many other Data Protection Authorities in other European countries. (more…)
This post seeks to help parties navigate issues arising from COVID-19 risks from an employment and privacy law perspective in both the United States and Europe.
Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) presents significant issues for employers to navigate and significant consequences for employees across industries as COVID-19 reduces consumer spending, disrupts supply chains and presents challenges for managing workforces globally. Employers should be aware of their responsibilities and proactively put in place action plans to address this growing problem. Designing these plans, and addressing requested or mandated leaves and other restrictions on employee work, presents myriad employment law issues that may vary by jurisdiction. Employers are also likely to confront privacy questions as they seek information on employees’ and others’ health and travel across jurisdictions. In developing a plan, employers will want to consider these issues in a holistic and coordinated manner.
With the use of CCTV on the rise, it has become increasingly important for controllers to find a framework in which the conflicting rights of those who are subject to such surveillance are balanced. In its recent decision of TK v Asociaţia de Proprietari bloc M5A-ScaraA EU:C:2019:1064 (TK), the CJEU considered whether the processing carried out by CCTV cameras was necessary and proportionate for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the controller.

(Note: as of today, January 11th 2016 David Bowie has died after suffering with cancer for the last 18 months. The following review was written last weekend when the world remained a little more colourful than it does right now. Instead of completely changing up the review of Blackstar, I have decided to keep it as it was pre-goodbye Bowie so it retains the initial reaction I had towards the record.
This is certainly an album that was aware of it’s own mortality, and with all the context revealed it’s definitely one that looks to say goodbye. David Bowie managed to retain a lot of his qualities while preparing to enter his tin can in the sky. Thank you David Bowie, RIP.)
David Bowie is now 69 years old and as a treat he has released Blackstar, his twenty-fifth studio album. Certainly the biggest record of the year so far, David Bowie has delivered what is yet another attempt at heading down a new direction, this time heading into a sound that’s full of elements of jazz, electronica and psychedelica – resulting into yet another reason why this guy is one of the most celebrated and decorated artists of all time.
Lead single Blackstar kicks off the record with a 10 minute journey of atmospheric exploration. The first half is complete with off kilter drums and ominous horns forming an introduction that could habitat any wandering traveller in a lonely desert, making way for some synthesisers to contribute a riff that adds in a subtle funk edge to the instrumental before making way for some horns to noodle away into the night sky. This is a very vast, expansive intro that actually comes off as very well layered and surprisingly catchy in parts. What follows is a wonderful, more straight forward finale which is dominated by angelic synthesisers that flood the speakers with an uplifting sound, turning Blackstar into a piece of thematic glory of epic proportions. An excellent, excellent track.
This then makes way for Tis Pity She Was A Whorewhich features an instrumental that is absolutely sexy to justify it’s Shakespeare-inspired title. An energetic drumbeat collides with some wandering horns before Bowie’s crooning vocals delivers a deep-rooted performance that’s accompanied by some sweet vocal harmonies against a solid backdrop of more horn noodling.
Sue (Or In A Season of Crime) is a track that stutters along the dancefloor with a guitar riff that grooves and twitches on repeat as frantic drums and echoed synthesisers combine together to create an atmosphere that could easily appear on a Swans record. Bowie delivers a voice-break hook on the other danceable track Girl Loves Me, and Dollar Days offers up a much more sombre, emotive walk down a path that’s lit up with sad trombones and some wonderful lyricism.
I Can’t Give Everything Away rounds up Blackstar with a delightful performance that fully encapsulates everything great about the material we’ve heard so far and gives it a distinctive “closer” feel. Bowie offers up a simple but effective vocal hook which sticks right into the heartstrings and the lush synthesiser-heavy instrumentation blooms alongside it to really open up that wound and let all the emotions run free. It’s a delightful way to close out an album that has been terrific from start to finish. Blackstar is definitely David Bowie’s least immediate sounding record yet and excels at introducing a new sound that is nurtured through steady progression and is allowed to fully encapsulate the eardrums and the result is a captivated listener. Blackstar is now 2016’s benchmark album, and it’s going to take a lot for it to be beaten. For more reviews, interviews and good music check out Exploding Head Syndrome on Facebook and Twitter.

Men are complicated and lovely all at the same time. They want to age gracefully, but they really don’t want to grow old and we respect that. However, sometimes I hear men say that they look in the mirror and they really do not recognize who they see. The aging process affects all of us, it is just that women may be more likely to do something about it. We change our hair, nails and makeup. We look for other ways to spruce ourselves up. Men may also want to do this, but it is more on the sly. They don’t always want to share their pre-aging secrets. This is where Burgess Plastic Surgery comes into play. We provide many aesthetic services, but we can keep their secret.
- Coolsculpting– No downtime for fat reduction of love handles and trouble spots on the abdomen. It is around a 25% fat reduction per applicator that slowly happens over several months. The best thing is that men can still work out and be active, since there is no downtime.
- Deluxe Hydrafacials– Men may not talk much but they do like scalp massages and this is essentially a massage for your face. Many men even fall asleep during this procedure. The goal of this gentle device is to clean, exfoliate, hydrate, do a light chem peel and while the pores are open, it will suction out debris from the pores making them appear smaller. Then a booster can be used to address specific concerns, followed by red light therapy to help with healing and redness. For a special treat, consider a Platinum Hydrafacial for an hour long treatment that includes other features, such as lymphatic glass cup massage.
- Botox, Jeuveau and Dysport- Men secretly get this ALL THE TIME! Many men have particularly strong procerus and corrugator muscles. These are the muscles that are between the eyebrows and makes people look like they are frowning. Treatments should be around every 3 months and if this is continued, then patients may have some relaxing permanence so then it may only need to be done every 4-6 months. Once those frown lines become permanent, then they become much more difficult to erase. Consider looking more relaxed and happy this year with one of our neurotoxins.
- Massage– We offer a whole array of massage services in our office that can provide relaxing, therapeutic relief, especially for those that have physical jobs or who sit for hours in front of a computer. As a result, the neck and upper spine can become tight and irritated. Regular massage may make people more productive due to the relief of discomfort and stretching of the tissues.
- Hair restoration– Although we don’t offer hair transplants, we do believe in PRP (Plasma Rich Protein) to recruit the hair follicles for growth that may be dormant or slow. This in combination with medical grade Minoxidil can be helpful for those that are thinning around the fringes. Results can vary due to hormonal and inherited male pattern hair loss.
- Skin Care and chemical peels with facials– What it the best way to maintain your car? Change your oil and do regular maintenance checks. What is the best way to maintain your teeth? Toothbrushing at home and regular dental cleanings. What is the best way to maintain your skin? Medical grade skin care and peels or facials. Sounds simple right? (And it is simple.) Skin care does not have to be complicated and it can be tailored for the male skin. Daily skin routines can be simple in the morning and evening. Doing something is better than nothing, but if you can add on an in-office peel, facial or procedure every 1-2 months you can slow down the signs of aging. Our millennial population has figured this all out. They are into pre-aging, which is the prevention and maintenance of the largest organ on their body, the skin. Like compound interest, if you start skin care now the results will be amplified down the road.
- Microneedling with Skin Pen– This simple in office procedure is considered C.I.T. or Collagen Induction Therapy. If done regularly it can improve collagen, aging skin and acne scarring. After the numbing cream is removed it feels a little scratchy, but is very well tolerated during the treatment. For an extra booster, add PRP for a little stem cell action and improved healing.
- The “Secret”– Truly this is our little Secret. This is microneedling on steroids! I love this because it is a series of 3 and has NO downtime. After the numbing cream is removed, the coated needles penetrate the skin and deliver heat for tissue contraction via radiofrequency. So this means the next day you may have a little swelling but no one will know that you have had anything done, since nothing is visible from the outside right after treatment. It takes a few months to see the improvement. This is for tone, texture, wrinkles, lines, pore size and acne scarring. The beautiful thing is that this can be done all summer long. It is a little stingly, so we have Pronox (a nitrous-oxygen blend you breathe in, that works to relax you) to help make the whole thing more comfortable. For special add-ons consider adding PRP after the treatment while the pores are still open. For best results consider getting a series of 3 Hydrafacials in between 3 Secrets. The Hydrafacials will clear off the dead skin and debris so that the Secret will be more effective. “Wow and wow” are the results with this last combo!
- In-office upper blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery– With simple numbing medications, the upper eyelid surgery can be done in our procedure room while you are awake. Pronox or a chill pill can be given to help if you are nervous, but most men do well. This will remove some of that upper eyelid skin making your eyes look more open. Just make sure you have a ride home and plenty of podcasts or audio books downloaded since you will be icing the area for several days. Tiny, black, hair-sized sutures are removed in about 1 week. One add-on may be a TBS (Transcutaneous Brow Shaping or brow lift). This can also be done in office since many men have low set eyebrows and lifting the area opens the eyes even more. We will do a careful evaluation before this procedure.
- Gift certificate– If you need to buy something special for that person in your life for Father’s Day or another special occasion, consider a gift certificate. However, be sure to make that first appointment for them. If it’s a simple procedure, then the first appointment may be that day, but if it’s a little more involved then the first appointment may be for preparing for the second appointment. Our staff will help guide you when you call or contact them. Keep in mind that we are open on many Saturdays, so making that first appointment is easy for someone that is working.
Our experienced team is happy to answer any of your questions about all these options. If you would like to learn more about skin care or procedures in Lake Oswego, please call Burgess Plastic Surgery during office hours at 503-905-9255 or email to consult@burgessplasticsurgery. We look forward to discussing your goals for pre-juvenating!

The ACT and South Australian Governments today signed a new Memorandum of Understanding at Mount Stromlo which commits the governments to working together and using their complementary strengths in the space sector.
ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said the new deal recognises the strengths of the two jurisdictions.
“South Australia brings a launch facility and its manufacturing history to this partnership, while we have significant strengths in our research community and the headquarters of a significant number of the big players in the space industry,” Mr Barr said.
“Canberra is also home to a number of companies such EOS Space Systems, Geospatial Intelligence and Geoplex that are leaders in their field.”
Mr Barr said the Australian space industry is on the cusp of significant growth, thanks in part to the efforts of the South Australian and ACT Governments.
“Canberra has long been a vital part of the global space industry, transmitting signals and images from the first moon landing and from Mars, exporting world-leading telescope technology and hosting NASA’s deep space communication facilities,” Mr Barr said.
“Recently UNSW Canberra was awarded delivery of the Buccaneer space program in conjunction with the Defence Science and Technology Group – a significant outcome for our growing space industry.
“In fact, the Defence White Paper’s commitment to strengthening Australian Defence Force capability in all aspects of space, including secure satellite communications, earth observation, space situation awareness and global navigation satellite systems is the catalyst for this MOU,” he said.
“Both Premier Weatherill and I recognise that this is a major opportunity to grow our economies as well as the national economy.”
Mr Barr said that, as the first action under the new MOU, he will attend the International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide in September and will showcase a number of Canberra’s key industry players including ANU, UNSW Canberra, EOS Space Systems, Geospatial Intelligence and Northrop Grumman.
“Both SA Premier Jay Weatherill and I have previously written to the Prime Minister asking the Commonwealth to take a lead in the development of this important sector,” Mr Barr said.
“The recent decision by the Commonwealth to establish an Expert Reference Group to review Australia’s space capabilities is a small step in the right direction, which we hope leads to the establishment of a national coordinating body for the space industry.”

Wholesome content ahead.
Kanye West seems to be on a positive vibe lately, making sightings of a smiling Yeezy less of a rarity. Yesterday, he was gassing up some OGs by acknowledging their greatness and today he shares more joyful content. The rapper tweeted a clip of himself in San Francisco riding tandem bikes with some buddies.
He held up the camera to his face as he shared his enthusiasm for their daylit stroll. Ye referred to Maybach, a defunct luxury car manufacturer that became a sub-brand of Mercedes-Benz, to describe their rides.
"Yo, we in San Fran. I'm on a Maybike," he said as his voice became increasingly high-pitched with glee. "I got the Maybach, I'm on the Maybike. Look at that." The smiling Kanye continues his jive as he laughs. He even sticks out his tongue a bit. How cheeky.
Based on the responses to his post, fans appreciate the lighthearted vibe. People chimed in with their own jokes, many of which referred to Rick Ross. One tweeted back, “My money on a lower level.” Another shared a photo montage captioned " May Bike Music" that illustrated Ye riding on the back of a bicycle driven by Ross. More puns and funny memes followed from there.

The firm recently revealed plans to sell its mobile air surveillance radar system to an undisclosed state in Asia. The terms of the deal were however revealed, and the system will be sold for $2 million. RADA plans to act on the order as soon as this year. The company further revealed that the country that acquired the system will delegate it to its military forces. Alon also revealed that the order for the mobile air surveillance system is the first order that his company has received from Asia.

The company research and development unit is focused on making more electronic solutions for military use. RADA recently signed an equity financing agreement with DBSI Investment. The contract gave the investor access to part of the firm’s shares for $ million.

Water tank eruption at Samsung plant kills 3: report
Three workers were killed and 12 injured on Friday when a water tank burst at a Samsung Fine Chemicals plant in South Korea, a report said, citing police.
Yonhap news agency said the 1,300-tonne water tank was being filled to detect any cracks as part of a stress test, but erupted at around the 1,000 tonne mark.
Workers were hit by flying debris and the tank's supporting structures.
Hospital officials warned the death toll could rise as some of the injured were critical, the agency added in its report datelined from the southeastern industrial city of Ulsan.
Samsung Engineering, a unit of conglomerate Samsung Group, was building the tank for SMP, a joint venture between Samsung Fine Chemical and MEMC of the United States.
Samsung officials were criticised for downplaying the accident and blocking reporters from the scene.
The company initially announced that five to six workers sustained injuries.
In January, one Samsung worker died and four others were injured following a deadly toxic chemical leak at a chip-making plant.
Samsung is the world's top maker of smartphones, memory chips and flat-panel TVs.

Fresh from Hollywood and back in Rochester,
Alyssa Coco was featured as the entertainment for
CAB’s Friday Night in the RITz on September 12.
The Rochester native started playing piano at the
age of five and has been pursuing music ever since.
The singer and songwriter made it to Hollywood
on Season 7 of American Idol with a “thumbs up”
from Simon Cowell.
While a lot of students were at social gatherings
or studying for that pop quiz on Week 3, the lucky
ones at the RITz on Friday enjoyed a performance
by this star in the making; Everyone was there
for different reasons. Jessery Bengston, a third
year Computer Science major, came to see Coco
because he remembered her from American Idol,
while Stevie Ward, a first year Film and Animation
major, simply came for something interesting to
do on a Friday night.
The RITz was set up kind of like a coffee shop for
Coco’s set. The rice crispy treats that were given
away by CAB during the break were a nice addition
to the laid back mood. Coco’s semi-beaten Yamaha
keyboard and personalized base drum conveyed
her experience on stage. Even though her band has
only been together since her post-Idol experience
eight months ago, they gelled together in a
The piano songstress’ sound is like a combination
of Sarah Bareilles’ lyrics and a more upbeat Norah
Jones combined into one gifted 17-year-old artist.
Her set consisted of mostly covers with a few
original songs sprinkled into the mix. Coco’s cover
of Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful” (the song that
sent Coco to Hollywood on Idol) truly showcased
her vocal range, while her cover of “Sweet Child of
Mine” by Guns N’ Roses showed her ability to get
from behind her piano to “rock out.”
With the newness of the school year and the
fact that it was only week two of the quarter,
the audience wasn’t too large. Coco’s true support
was then made obvious; Her family and friends
were all present for the show. After her set,
fans were eager to meet her and get an autograph,
but many people visited her memorabilia stand
that consisted of black shirts, guitar pick necklaces,
and matching earrings, all with an “Alyssa Coco”
label, of course.
Coco said that American Idol was a great experience
and a nice title under her belt. She gets her
inspiration from artists like Colbie Cailllat and
Vanessa Carleton because “…they are just so
pure.” Her emulation of those artists is fitting,
as her image is just that: Pure. She is a very
sweet and down to earth girl who feels the
endless Rochester winters just like the rest of us.
She’s very happy and blessed to be doing what she
loves to do.

The rifle was designed by Daniel Boone, a famous American frontiersman and explorer. It had an unusual mechanism to fire the gun but it did not work well in practice as he only managed to shoot one person with it before his death.
The “where is daniel boones rifle” was named so because it had a long, hollow tube attached to the end of its barrel. This tube would be filled with black powder, which would then be lit and the gun would fire. The smoke from the gun’s muzzle would tickle the bears’ noses, causing them to flee in terror.
Daniel Boone was the epitome of the frontiersman. Daniel Boone, for example, possessed a gun known as the “Tick-licker” because he said he could fire a tick from an animal’s rump without harming it. Because he was recognized for his incredible shooting, no one ever disputed his claim.
Aside from that, what was the name of Daniel Boone’s gun?
The pistol was given the name “Old Tick-Licker” by Daniel Boone, who boasted that he could use it to blast a tick off an animal without harming it.
What was the caliber of the Kentucky rifle, too? Calibers range from 28 caliber to around.60 caliber. They shoot a circular ball that is partly coated in a grease or spit-soaked fabric patch. The patch’s function is to engage the barrel’s rifling, spinning the ball when fired.
When did Daniel Boone obtain his first gun, for example?
At the age of 12, he obtained his first gun, began to hunt, and developed into a great marksman, often supplying his family with fresh meat. He once shot a panther in the heart as it charged, according to folklore. Squire Boone sold his property and relocated his family to the Yadkin Valley in North Carolina in 1748.
What is the range of a Kentucky long rifle?
The Kentucky Long Rifle was more accurate than any previous muskets, and it quickly gained a reputation for being deadly at distances of up to 200 yards.
Answers to Related Questions
What does it mean to be a Tick Licker?
Daniel Boone was the epitome of the frontiersman. He was well-known in the fur trade for his fairness and honesty, and he excelled at dealing with Indians. Daniel Boone, for example, possessed a gun known as the “Tick-licker” because he said he could fire a tick from an animal’s rump without harming it.
Davy Crockett’s firearm is nowhere to be seen.
It is now in the possession of the Alamo Museum in San Antonio. The third gun, “Pretty Betsy,” was handed to him by the Philadelphia Whig Society. It is said to be a percussion cap rifle.
What makes a Pennsylvania gun different from a Kentucky rifle?
There is no distinction; it is just another name for the same weapon, which is known as the American Longrifle. The majority were created in Pennsylvania, thus the name “Pennsylvania.”
What is the range of a flintlock rifle?
Flintlock rifles are known to be effective at distances of 50 to 75 yards, although expert shooters may extend the range to over 100 yards.
Is Daniel Boone NC named for him?
Boone was named after the famed pioneer and explorer Daniel Boone, who slept near what is now known as the municipal borders on multiple occasions. Appalachian State University, a component institution of the University of North Carolina, is located in Boone.
When was the Caplock gun created?
Alexander John Forsyth, a Scotsman, created it and patented it in 1807. It was upgraded numerous times throughout the years to help make it more effective in warfare. The widespread adoption of caplock guns, on the other hand, occurred in the 1840s.
What is the location of Daniel Boone’s grave?
Frankfort Cemetery is located in Frankfort, Kentucky.
Where did Boone pass away?
Daniel Boone Home National Historic Site is located in Missouri, USA.
When did Boone pass away?
26th of September, 1820
Daniel Boone wore what style of hat?
Despite the fact that the misconception persists in certain portrayals to this day, Daniel Boone did not wear a coonskin cap! Daniel wore a wide-brimmed felt or beaver hat, similar to the Quaker style caps used by men in Pennsylvania, where he was born and spent his early years, like many other long-hunters of his day.
What was Daniel Boone’s age when he died?
From 1734 until 1820, he lived for 85 years.
Where did Daniel Boone’s kid end up?
“Delaware, Shawnee, and Cherokee Indians murdered Daniel Boone’s oldest son, James, and five others in their party of eight immigrants on way to Kentucky on October 10, 1773, in this valley.” The soldiers had set up camp along Wallen’s Creek, apart from Daniel Boone’s main company.
What was Daniel Boone’s profession?
What caused Boone’s death?
Israel Boone, what happened to you?
Israel died in the Battle of Blue Licks, Fayette Co., KY, after his father, Daniel Boone, had ordered his men to cross back over the Licking downstream. Daniel stayed to fight to cover & ordered Israel to run for it, but out of love, Israel disobeyed. “Father, I won’t leave you,” he insisted.
What is the accuracy of a Kentucky long rifle?
The Kentucky Long Rifle was more accurate than any other weapon known at the time, and it quickly became renowned for having a flight that was lethal at over 200 yards, which was an incredible range at the time. General Washington was able to gather around 1,400 riflemen or backwoodsmen, all of them were armed with Kentucky Rifles.
Rifles have lengthy barrels for a reason.
In general, if all other factors remain constant, a longer barrel will result in a greater muzzle velocity for bullets (or other projectiles such as shotgun pellets). Because the bullet has more time to accelerate due to the larger barrel, the burning gun powder has more time to propel the bullet to a faster speed.

If you are looking to gain an advantage over other players in World Series of Poker – Texas Holdem, you came to the right place. This list contains very useful tips, tricks and cheats that will help you during your gameplay in World Series of Poker – Texas Holdem.
Always have enough chips on hand.
The currency in all poker games is in the form of chips with a face value on them. In World Series of Poker – Texas Holdem, you start your game with $15,000 in chips; however, you can get an extra $15,000 worth of chips by logging in with your Facebook account. This means that you will have a total of $30,000 in chips, all for free. Just like any other poker game, you are able to earn more chips by strategically playing poker and winning.
If you are not familiar with the basic rules of poker, you should definitely read about it on the internet. There are a lot of websites that offer complete guides for free, teaching you the basics of poker, when to bet, raise and fold. By understanding the basic rules of poker, you will also be well on your way in earning a lot of money in World Series of Poker – Texas Holdem. You should always have enough chips on hand, before you join a lobby.
Whenever you feel like you have a strong hand, you could always raise, in order to let your opponents know that you mean business. However, just as I stated above, you should always have enough chips on hand, because there could be a re-raise. In case this happens, it means that you either have to raise your bet as well, or fold and lose all of your chips.
This also means that you should never call, unless you think you are able to raise with the current amount of chips that you are holding. Only play the hand, whenever you think you have the best one. As a general rule in poker, you always want to make others pay to draw out on you, instead of you paying to draw out on them before.
Choose the correct difficulty level.
By playing World Series of Poker – Texas Holdem, you earn experience points, which leads to you leveling up. By leveling up, you are able to join tables with higher stakes, which also means that you can either win big or lose hard. It is important that you should never choose a too difficult table with very high stakes, just because you have won several hands before.
You should first play on easier tables and win a lot of chips by doing so. When you feel comfortable enough and have enough chips to lose, you should consider joining a table with some higher stakes. Playing poker online is not the same as in the casino, which is why you should never play the game when you are emotional. This could lead to you not being able to think correctly, and you will most likely make a lot of bad moves and lose a lot of chips.
Folding doesn’t make you a loser.
Many people seem to feel embarrassed whenever they fold, due to the fact that there is a social pressure on poker players. However, you should never feel forced to continue playing, especially if you have been dealt a bad hand. You will most likely not be able to improve it, and you do not need to try to be a hero by betting anyways.
Even if you were dealt a very good hand, and it seemed like you were going to win the pot, but at the end, your opponents could still beat you if they have been dealt an even better hand. You should not feel sorry for yourself and just know when to fold, even if it means that you are going to lose a lot of your chips, which are in the pot.
Don’t go overboard with your bluffs.
Because of the fact that playing online poker is a different experience compared to real poker in a casino, you will most likely see a lot of players that always seem to go all-in. This is why it is important to always observe your opponents when you are playing World Series of Poker – Texas Holdem, and never lose your cool while playing the game.
If you do not go overboard with your bluffs, you will be able to make it more difficult for your opponents to read you, and know when you are actually bluffing. Because of the fact that you cannot see each other’s faces, every move that a player makes is very important. You should only bluff occasionally and never go overboard with them.
Low on chips? Ask your friends!
You should not be afraid to connect your Facebook account with World Series of Poker – Texas Holdem, because it also allows you to play with your friends. Whenever you are low on chips, you can always request more from your friends. They are able to send you small amounts of gifts, in the form of chips.
If you do not own a Facebook account, you could always make a fake one and use it to cheat in World Series of Poker – Texas Holdem. You can make multiple fake Facebook accounts and add them as your friends, which allows you to send at least $30,000 in chips to your main account. However, by using this cheat, your account is in danger of getting banned.
Don’t forget to spin the Mega Bonus Wheel.
The developers of World Series of Poker – Texas Holdem have implemented a spinning wheel into the game, which you can spin for free the first time. By spinning the Mega Bonus Wheel, you are able to earn up to $480,000 worth of chips, if you are lucky enough. After you have taken advantage of the Mega Bonus Wheel for the first time, you will have to pay to use it again. The higher your bonus level is, the more chips you can earn.

One of the best selling first person shooter games is returning to its roots as Call of Duty drops the futuristic storyline and returns to World War II. Not everyone will like this, but a lot of gamers feel the last good realistic game was Ghosts. Following Ghosts was Advanced Warfare, which introduced soldiers with augmented abilities. This was taken a level further in Black Ops III, with full blown cybernetic warfare. In Infinite Warfare, things just got unrealistic for many gamers.
Call of Duty was originally released 14 years ago and the first three titles were all based in World War II. Other titles started coming out, like Modern Warfare, and Black Ops. Black Ops and Black Ops II quickly became a favorite among the online gamers, and many feel the second installment was the best Call of Duty game ever. Originally, when Black Ops III was announced, fans were expecting something on the line of what is going on in the world today, maybe based around special forces like Seal Team 6. Instead it went futuristic with crazy abilities, laser weapons and just did not hold the same feeling.
Call of Duty has a few different game modes on the computer and game consoles. There is a brief storyline that users can play, which is good to get use to different weapons, and any differences in controls from game to game. Then there is the popular online multiplayer game. This is what the gamers want. Players will run and gun with lightweight setups, or armor up with shields and heavy machine guns or grenade launchers, or sneak around with sniper or marksmen rifles. When the newest game, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare came out, while the storyline mode was fun, the multiplayer was less than thrilling. Many felt that it was designed just for a run and gun play. People who like setting up ambushes, or players who liked to snipe and move found they had little to no options. There are other game modes, including battling zombies, and Extinction.
After less than stellar reviews for Black Ops III and Infinite Warfare, Call of Duty made the decision to go back to their roots. Little is known about the new title, other than a few screenshots that popped up online, and quickly were taken down. It appears that Sledgehammer will be developing the new title. Sledgehammer worked with Infinity Ward on Modern Warfare 3, and was the only developer behind Advanced Warfare. Infinity Ward has worked on all the other titles except for Call of Duty 3, World at War, and the Black Ops titles, who were all done by Treyarch.
Other games, like Battlefield, and the Tom Clancy series, have started to capture Call of Duty gamers who were disappointed in the last few titles. According to GameSpot, April 26, 2017, Activision will host a live stream, official reveal of Call of Duty: World War II. It is expected that a release date will be announced at that time, however, speculation is placing the new title on shelves late third quarter, early fourth quarter.
What do you think? Are you excited about a World War II title for Call of Duty or did you like the science fiction route the title has taken? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Podkowa Leśna. An old wooden house with lots of soul… Not that big, but quite spacious. There’s enough room to house pieces of art, books, a random collection of interesting objects, records and drums. Anna Podlewska, painter, and Paweł Polit, art historian and exhibition curator, are telling us its story.
Małgorzata Czyńska: We’ve kinda pushed into your house. It was Wojtek’s idea.
Wojciech Tuleya: As soon as I’d visited you for the first time a few months ago, I started persuading Małgosia to come to see you and encourage you to discuss your house.
Anna Podlewska: You didn’t have to try too hard… We like our house, it’s a great place to live. It is quite spacious and has some beautiful light. It’s tolerant of its owner’s (Paweł) procrastination. The staircase is quite cold in the winter. And the house is far from being soundproof and it’s impossible to do all the overhaul works once and for all – there’s always something left to be done here.
WT: As soon as I’d come in, I was intrigued with its modernist wooden architecture. It’s quite peculiar, if not weird.
Paweł Polit: But there’s a method in that weirdness. Wood was an evident choice, cause my maternal grandfather - Henryk Albrecht – who built the house was a forest engineer. That’s probably why he chose this kind of material. The house is made entirely from wood. With time, an external layer of plaster was added. We owe the design to the architect and engineer Zofia Ruśkiewicz whose office was located at Smolna Street in Warsaw. The oldest version of the architectural design kept till these days features the date of September 28th, 1938.
MC: In the 30s of the 20th century Podkowa Leśna – a garden city – became a place to be. Warsaw’s intellectual elites and establishment representatives used to build there their summerhouses which were often used as regular residences as well.
PP: My family hardly comes from Warsaw, but in the end we made it to Podkowa. My grandma - Maria Albrecht née Tokarska – who was a teacher came from Sosnowiec, while my grandpa was raised in a mansion near Opoczno before entering the Faculty of Forestry in Poznań. Once married, my grandparents lived in Serwy forest division near Augustów. There was a lot of buzz around plots of land in Podkowa at that time, so my grandparents bought one of them as a means to secure their future, though probably they wanted to move here one day.
WT: Did they manage to complete the works before the war?
PP: The house might have been completed by 1938. When my grandma Maria moved here in 1939 with two children, a shell building had already been erected. Grandpa Henryk joined them one year later.
WT: Were you raised in this house?
PP: Not really. I moved in no sooner than after maturity exam – three years after grandpa’s death. To be honest, this house was a huge burden for me for quite a long time and plenty of things had to be done here all the time. Winters were a nightmare, cause there was no central heating in the house and I had to load three masonry stoves with coal. Then we used a coke oven until we installed a gas heating two or three years later. Apart from that, the house required repair works all the time. At the beginning, the roof was replaced. Then I had new external plastering done.
AP: One thing is sure: a house and particularly an old one needs lots of concern and care.
MC: When did you move to Podkowa, Ania?
AP: More than eight years ago. I made a quick decision, cause it’s not a problem for me to move to a new place. With Paweł it’s a different story, cause he’s very attached to this place.
MC: You’ve got an atelier in Milanówek. Do you paint at home in Podkowa? Or maybe you need to take a break from your home environment?
AP: I definitely need a break, so I work in my atelier. There’s a very good light there and I always paint in natural light. At home I sometimes paint in watercolors or prepare painting drafts – so-called cut-outs. Home is where I come up with my projects, painting series. Atelier is where I experiment and carry out some proven elements of design. Sometimes I get commissioned to paint something – e.g. a landscape or portrait. It’s something I really enjoy. In some of those cases I stay at home painting.
WT: It happens that your paintings travel from your atelier to your house.
AP: Yes, they do. It’s mainly Paweł who selects and hangs them but I am also eager to see if they fit in the residential area and what kind of effect they bring.
WT: Is there a painting of Anna’s that you particularly like, Paweł? Have you received any of them as a gift?
PP: Yes, I like a lot of them. For instance a portrait in watercolors from the “Faces” series. Or an oil diptych painted eight years ago – an abstract in shades of grey, which, according to Ania, is a portrait of mine. She offered both of them to me as gifts. We don’t have a permanent exhibition of Ania’s works at home. We select them according to circumstances, season of the year etc. She has also given me a lot of drawings from a series called “The Mouse and the Cat under the same roof”. She paints them inspired by our discussions or by overheard conversations of other people.
MC: Everyday life which becomes art.
WT: What do you appreciate about art? What’s the most important about it?
PP: A kind of chillout vibes which make us see or hear amazing things. Lack of despotism, dialog with recipients.
MC: Did your families implant artistic interests in you?
PP: They definitely did. My grandma took me to the National Museum in Warsaw when I was a very young kid. She told me a lot about Chełmoński. When I got older, I started being critical about him and she felt a bit offended. Then I came to the conclusion that I was wrong. When I was a teenager, I came across a book about surrealism at home. It was a good beginning.
AP: When my maternal grandmother lived in pre-war Vilnius, she knew a lot of artists from the Academy. There’s a portrait of hers on a ceramic locket and a winter landscape from those times. My paternal grandfather – Wawelberg’s graduate – had a drawing board and a beautiful set of compasses. They’ve somehow inspired my work. Drawing and painting was the air I’ve been breathing since childhood, all the more so that I was the only child in the family. Then followed Debuffet’s exhibitions and “4 x Paris”, “Projekt” magazine…
MC: Are you both collectors of different things? It seems to me that your house is gathering more and more things in a natural way.
AP: We do not attempt to develop collections in a regular way. Apart from works of art, we gather various intriguing objects which often include souvenirs from our trips but also everyday objects. There are also books, loads of books…
MC: If you were to list a few must-haves in your house, what would it be?
AP: Dogs, drums, books, music playing equipment, records, paintings and lots of redundant things, garden, dust, oak leaves on grass, all of these in no particular order…

In Australia when a forage crop is close to maturity, producers apply a dilute application of Roundup to "freeze" the crop to retain protein quality. They then turn the sheep in to graze. Once the crop is harvested, the animals are moved to a different pasture, and the crop grows back. Gary says the Roundup makes the plants "sick," but does not kill them.

MARKS & Spencer have cut 800 Irish lines and closed 11 French stores as a result of Brexit.
The supermarket has been forced to cut items such as free-range chicken, orchids or goods containing Parmesan Reggiano.
Due to certain rules following Brexit, Marks & Spencer has said it will close 11 of its French stores due to fresh and chilled food supply.
The store blamed their decision to shut all franchised shops with partner SFH in France on export disruption, which is impacting product availability.
In a statement to the Irish Independent, the group said: "The lengthy and complex export processes now in place following the UK’s exit from the European Union are significantly constraining the supply of fresh and chilled product from the UK into Europe and continuing to impact product availability for customers and the performance of our business in France."
And managing director of M&S International, Paul Friston, confirmed that the issue came down to "supply chain complexities in place following the UK’s exit from the European Union".
He said: “M&S has a long history of serving customers in France and this is not a decision we or our partner SFH have taken lightly.
“However, as things stand today, the supply chain complexities in place following the UK’s exit from the European Union, now make it near impossible for us to serve fresh and chilled products to customers to the high standards they expect, resulting in an ongoing impact to the performance of our business.”

Talks are ongoing regarding Marks & Spencer's nine remaining French stores based in airports and railway stations.
The stores that are set to close are located mainly on the high streets of Paris and are set to close by the end of the year.
Meanwhile, protestors waving union flags recently gathered at Belfast’s Queen’s University as EU’s Brexit negotiator Maros Sefcovic was speaking inside.
Police stood guard as a small, peaceful group arrived at the gates with posters saying ‘Stop the protocol to save the peace.’
'PROTOCOL IS THE ONLY SOLUTION'
Inside, Mr Sefcovic said he agreed that the EU and UK will both need to make compromises on the controversial Protocol.
He suggested the EU will be raising new ideas to smooth the movement of goods across the Irish Sea.
But he added: "The protocol is not the problem. On the contrary, it is the only solution we have.
"Failing to apply it will not make problems disappear but simply take away the tools to solve them."

Fewer deer for the taking in S.D.
A dramatic reduction in deer hunting opportunities in South Dakota this year could affect more than just hunters.
Disease, harsh weather and habitat have taken a toll on the state's deer herd, and after several years in which the goal was to reduce their numbers, Game Fish and Parks officials propose a major cutback in the number of tags and licenses it will award this year.
Deer hunting is the Game Fish and Parks Department's second biggest revenue source, so the changes probably would force some cost-cutting. The sport is also a reliable source of meat for food shelves, which could see fewer donations under the proposal.
The Game Fish and Parks Commission, which will vote on the proposal at its meeting June 5-6 in Yankton, is recommending significant reductions across the state this year.
East River, the commission is proposing to cut the number of tags by more than 20,000, to 30,075 from last year's peak of 50,635. West River, there would be 25,120 fewer tags, down 19,930 from last year's total of 45,050.
The vast majority of the reduction is antlerless deer or doe tags.
For several years, GF&P offered numbers of doe tags that exceeded the department's long range management objectives for deer. It was an effort to trim the state's herds to address numerous complaints about deer depredation and deer-vehicle collisions.
"Well, we were pretty successful," GF&P Commission Chairman John Cooper said wryly. "Now we're at the point where cutbacks are necessary" to prevent further declines and to allow deer numbers to grow again.
In addition to aggressive harvest targets, other factors hammered deer herds in the past half-dozen years. These include outbreaks of epizootic hemmorrhagic disease that killed many whitetail bucks, drought and severe winter weather, changes in mule deer forage West River and the loss of Conservation Reserve Program cover. From a high of 1.6 million acres in 2007, CRP in South Dakota has declined to about 900,000 acres now, and another 280,000 acres could come out of the federal set-aside program next year.
In states farther west and to a lesser degree in South Dakota, said Cooper, invasive cheatgrass is replacing native plant species mule deer rely on for forage. Mule deer also are less tolerant of development than are whitetails.
"A lot of people are moving into mule deer range and building their 10-to-15-acre ranchettes. Mule deer don't adapt as well to human interference," Cooper said.
GF&P has developed a strong communication network with the public through annual surveys. After four or five years of pressure to reduce the deer herd, said GF&P Wildlife Division Director Tony Leif, now "we are confident the public wants us to manage for a few more deer. That's the general consensus."
The sharp reduction in doe tags, he said, should allow herds across the state to stabilize and, in some cases, to grow.
But it also would shrink the department's revenue.
After pheasant hunting, deer hunting is GF&P's largest revenue source. The revenue hit from the sharp reduction in deer tags is yet to be determined, Cooper said. Meanwhile, the number of pheasant hunters has declined three straight years. As a result, "we're not as fat as we were four years ago on the revenue stream," Cooper said.
Managing wildlife responsibly is the department's first priority, Leif said. But a loss of revenue from reducing deer hunting will be noticed.
"We are a self-supporting agency. When it comes to revenue for expenditures, we're going to have to make some adjustments," he said. Increases in license fees last year will lessen the effect of lost deer hunting revenue this year somewhat, he said. "But it will not fully make up for lost revenue from the reduction of licenses the commission proposed."
GF&P and the commission looked long and hard before proposing the steep cuts in antlerless deer tags, Cooper said. While nonresident hunters equate South Dakota with its world-class pheasant hunting, "a lot of residents are attached to deer hunting," Cooper said.
Food banks also might feel the effect. The state's food banks customarily accept donations of 100,000 pounds of game meat annually, said Feeding South Dakota Executive Director Matt Gassen, and most of that is deer.
"It's a significant source of protein for us, and one of the food groups you can't afford to lose is protein," Gassen said.
In the best interest
Jerry Awe, a director with the Safari Club International Sioux Empire chapter, thinks hunters generally trust GF&P to manage herds for the benefit of wildlife and hunters. Safari Club International represents more than 55,000 hunters in almost 200 chapters across the country.
"You always hate to see hunting opportunities lessen, but if the deer population is down, and it is in the best interest of game reproduction and hunting opportunities in the future (to limit doe harvest now), that's where we stand with GF&P," Awe said. "We don't have an adverse position we're taking against them."
While a dedicated minority of deer hunters avidly pursues does, most South Dakota deer hunters seek bucks, Leif said.
"Many are in agreement to sacrifice opportunities to shoot antlerless deer today in better hopes of shooting a buck in the future," he said.
Big game species such as deer don't respond as quickly as pheasants to favorable changes in habitat, weather and hunting pressure.
"We know this isn't going to be a one-year bounce back. It doesn't work that way with big game," Cooper said.
The aggressive harvest targets of recent years are a thing of the past, but during the next four years or so the commission will become gradually more generous with antlerless deer tags as deer numbers rebound, Cooper predicted.
"The goal is to start coming back on an incline to build the herd," he said. "Hopefully, next year's proposals won't be for as steep a reduction as now."
& Parks Commission proposes drastically reducing licenses and tags for deer.
Licenses would be cut
by 7,240 and deer tags by 20,560.
GF&P says deer numbers are down significantly across the state because of disease, habitat loss and severe weather.

It’s been about four years since I last saw Citizen Cope, AKA Clarence Greenwood, and last night’s show at the Ramshead in Baltimore was a great one. Cope’s voice has really matured, his band is super tight, and lots of energy in the room, as it was sold out. Greenwood also did some stripped down versions of older songs that really showed off his rootsy side, like “200,000 (In Counterfeit 50 Dollar Bills)”. Nice suprise as well getting to see the smokey voiced, singer songwriter Gin Wigmore, as she opened up the night. Cope is doing a pretty extensive U.S. tour right now including a stop this summer at Bonaroo. His fifth and latest album, The Rainwater LP, is out now.

of all is the lake, and the borders of it that lie north of the town.
This lake resembles a sea in the colour of its waters, the storms that are raised on it, and the ravage it makes on its banks. It receives too a different name from the coasts it washes, and in summer has something like an ebb and flow, which arises from the melting of the snows that fall into it more copiously at noon than at other times of the day. It has five different states bordering on it, the kingdom of France, and the duchy of Savoy, the canton of Berne, the bishopric of Sion, and the republic of Geneva. I have seen papers fixed up in the canton of Berne, with this magnificent preface; “Whereas, we have been informed of several abuses committed in our ports and harbours on the lake,” &c.
I made a little voyage round the lake, and touched on the several towns that lie on its coasts, which took up near five days, though the wind was pretty fair for us all the while.
The right side of the lake from Geneva belongs to the Duke of Savoy, and is extremely well cultivated. The greatest entertainment we found in coasting it were the several prospects of woods, viveyards, meadows, and corn-fields, which lie on the borders of it, and run up all the sides of the Alps, where the barrenness of the rocks, or the steepness of the ascent will suffer them. The wine, however, on this side the lake is by no means so good as that on the other, as it has not so open a soil, and is less exposed to the
We here passed by Yvoire, where the duke keeps his galleys, and lodged at Tonon, which is the greatest town on the lake belonging to the Savoyard. It has four convents, and, they say, about six or seven thousand inhabitants. The lake is here about twelve miles in breadth. At a little distance from Tonon stands Ripaille, where there is a convent of Carthusians. They have a large forest cut out into walks, that are extremely thick and gloomy, and very suitable
to the genius of the inhabitants. There are vistas in it of a great length, that terminate upon the lake. At one side of the walks you have a near prospect of the Alps, which are broken into so many steeps and precipices, that they fill the mind with an agreeable kind of horror, and form one of the most irregular misshapen scenes in the world. The house that is now in the hands of the Carthusians belonged formerly to the Hermits of St. Maurice, and is famous in his tory for the retreat of an anti-pope, who called himself Felix the Fifth. He had been Duke of Savoy, and, after a very glorious reign, took on him the habit of a hermit, and retired into this solitary spot of his dominions. His enemies will have it, that he lived here in great ease and luxury, from whence the Italians to this day make use of the proverb, Andare a Ripaglia ; and the French, Faire Ripaille, to express a delightful kind of life. They say too, that he had great managements with several ecclesiastics before he turned her mit, and that he did it in the view of being advanced to the pontificate However it was, he had not been here half a year before he was chosen pope by the council of Basil, who took upon them to depose Eu: genio the Fourth. This promised fair at first, but, by the death of the emperor, who favoured Amadeo, and the resolution of Eugenio, the greatest part of the church threw itself again under the government of their deposed head. Our anti-pope, however, was still supported by the Council of Basil, and owned by Savoy, Switzerland, and a few other little states. This schism lasted in the church nine years, after which Felix voluntarily resigned his title into the hands of Pope Nicholas the Fifth, but on the following conditions, that Amadeo should be the first cardinal in the conclave; that the pope should always receive him standing, and offer him his mouth to kiss; that he should be perpetual cardinal legate in the states of Savoy and Switzerland, and in the archbishoprics of Geneva, Sion, Bress, &c. and lastly, that all the cardinals of his creation should be recognized by the pope. After he had made a peace so acceptable to the church, and so honourable to himself, he spent the remainder of his life with great devotion at Ripaille, and died with an extraordinary reputation of sanctity.
At Tonan they showed us a fountain of water that is in great esteem for its wholesomness. They say it weighs two ounces in a pound less than the same measure of the lake water, notwithstanding this last is very good to drink, and as clear as can be imagined. A little above Tonon is a castle and small garrison: The next day we saw other small towns on the coast of Savoy, where there is nothing but misery and poverty. The nearer you come to the end of the lake the mountains on each side grow thicker and higher, till at last they almost meet. One often sees on the tops of the mountains several sharp rocks that stand above the rest; for, as these mountains have been doubtless much higher than they are at present, the rains have washed away abundance of the soil, that has left the veins of stones shooting out of them; as in a decayed body the flesh is still shrinking from the bones. The natural histories of Switzerland talk very inuch of the fall of these rocks, and the great damage they have sometimes done, when their foundations have been inouldered with age, or rent by an earthquake. We saw in several parts of the Alps, that bordered upon us, vast pits of snow, as several mountains that lie at a greater distance are wholly covered with it. I fancied the confusion of mountains and hollows, I here observed, furnished me with a more probable reason than any I have met with for those periodical fountains in Switzerland, which flow only at such particular hours of the day; for, as the tops of these mountains cast their shadows upon one another, they hinder the sun's shining on several parts at such certain times, so that there are several heaps of snow, which have the sun lying upon them two or three hours together, and are in the shade all the day after
wards. If, therefore, it happens that any particular fountain takes its rise from any of these reservoirs of snow, it will naturally begin to flow on such hours of the day as the snow begins to melt: but as soon as the sun leaves it again to freeze and harden, the fountain dries up, and receives no more supplies till about the same time the next day, when the heat of the sun again sets the snows a running that fall into the same little conduits, traces, and canals, and by consequence break out and discover themselves always in the same place. At the very extremity of the lake the Rhone enters, and, when I saw it, brought along with it a prodigious quantity of water; the rivers and lakes of this country being much higher in summer than in winter, by reason of the melting of the snows. One would wonder how so many learned men could fall into so great an absurdity, as to believe this river could preserve itself unmixed with the lake till its going out again at Geneva, which is a course of many miles. It was extremely muddy at its entrance when I saw it, though as clear as rock-water at its going out. Besides, that it brought in much more water than it carried off. The river, indeed, preserves itself for about a quarter of a mile in the lake, but is afterwards so wholly mixed, and lost with the waters of the lake, that one discovers nothing like a stream till within about a quarter of a mile of Geneva. From the end of the lake to the source of the Rhone is a valley of about four days' journey in length, which gives the name of Vallesins to its inhabitants, and is the dominion of the Bishop of Sion. We lodged the second night at Ville Neuve, a little town in the canton of Berne, where we found good accommodations, and a much greater appearance of plenty than on the other side of the lake. The next day, having passed by the castle of Chillon, we came to Versoy, another town in the canton of Berne, where Ludlow retired after having left Geneva and Lausanne. The magistrates of the town warned him out of the first by the solicita
tion of the Duchess of Orleans, as the death of his friend Lisle made him quit the other. He probably chose this retreat as a place of the greatest safety, it being an easy matter to know what strangers are in the town, by reason of its situation. The house he lived in has this inscription over the door,
Omne solum forti patria
quia patris. The first part is a piece of a verse in Ovid, as the last is a cant of his own. He is buried in the best of the churches, with the following epitaph:
Siste gradum et respice Hic jacet Edmond Ludlow Anglus Nationc, Provinciæ Wiltoniensis, filius Henrici Equestris Ordinis, Senatorisque Parliamenti, cujus quoque fuit ipse membrum, Patrum stemmate clarus et nobilis, virtute propriâ nobilior, religione protestans et insigni pietute coruscus, ælatis anno 23.

Ludlow was a constant frequenter of sermons and prayers, but would never communicate with them either of Geneva or Vevy. Just by his monument is a tombstone with the following inscription:
