It appears Katt Williams is still in search of some southern hospitality in the days following his release from jail. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, the comedian has also been kicked out of his rented penthouse suite in Atlanta’s Four Seasons hotel. Employees claimed Williams was causing a disturbance among other guests. “I haven’t been here 72 hours and I’m being kicked out of the Four Seasons even though I paid up front and in cash,” he said during a press conference on Thursday evening. “I don’t understand. I’m at the point now where I’m standing out here with millions of dollars in movies and TV specials sold and most of them done right here in Atlanta. And to be ceremoniously dismissed at a hotel is sad.”
Katt Williams made headlines over the weekend for an alleged burglary in which he’s accused of taking nearly $4,000 worth of jewelry and collectible coins from a suburban Atlanta home, but another unrelated incident involving the comedian recently surfaced. A 17-year-old claims Williams held him and “threatened” to beat him up if he left the Newman, Ga., estate where Williams lives. Officials stated that the ‘Wild ‘N Out’ star will not be charged for the incident. Check out the teen’s 911 call here.
Meanwhile, the ‘First Sunday’ star had a few choice of words following his release from jail. See the video clip below.katt williams

YouTube will soon put the power of live streaming in the palm of your hand.
The video-sharing service this week announced plans to bake mobile live streaming directly into its app. Just tap the red capture button, take or select a photo to use as a thumbnail, and broadcast to fans in near real time.
Because it's built into the mobile app, live streaming comes with all the same features as regular videos: search, recommendations, playlists, and protection from unauthorized uses. "And since it uses YouTube's peerless infrastructure, it'll be faster and more reliable than anything else out there," Kurt Wilms, product lead for Immersive Experiences at YouTube, wrote in a blog post.
Launched Thursday at VidCon in California, YouTube mobile live streaming is initially available from The Young Turks, AIB, Platica Polinesia, SacconeJolys, and Alex Wassabi. Wilms said the service will be rolling out more widely "soon."
"We've been offering live streaming on YouTube since 2011, before it was cool," the blog said, citing the millions of people who tuned in for the Royal Wedding and Felix Baumgartner's leap from space. More recently, it became the first to broadcast a 360-degree live stream during Coachella, capturing 21 million-plus views.
Despite being first on the scene, YouTube live streaming has been eclipsed as of late by mobile options like Facebook Live and Periscope, both of which grabbed headlines this week when Democratic members of Congress used the services to broadcast their sit-in from the House floor.
Yahoo-owned Tumblr also jumped into live streaming recently, too.
Facebook, meanwhile, was also at this week's VidCon, where it "pre-announced" new updates for its live-streaming platform. According to TechCrunch, the company will let users conduct two-person remote broadcasts, pre-schedule streams, create a virtual waiting room for viewers, and broadcast with MSQRD's face masks.
Facebook's Instagram is also exploring video, announcing new "Picked for You" channels in Explore, which groups videos by your favorite topics and interests. "The total time people spent watching video on Instagram increased 150 percent over the past six months," a company blog said. "As video continues to grow, we're adding new channels to Explore to make it easier for you to discover videos you'll enjoy."

I have not tried this cure with venison, so I am not speaking from direct experience.
A fresh leg of pork is about as different from a venison hind quarter as night and day in terms of amount of fat and the flavor profile of lean pork compared to lean venison.
So if you were to use the cure on a venison hind quarter, I don’t think you would never mistake the finished product as a regular pork ham.
On the other hand, you may like the how it turns out.
I have had really good success making pastrami out of venison hind quarter roasts.
First time using your ham netting (330113). My question is do I need to do anything to keep it from sticking to the meat? I am brining some small pork roasts and want to net and hang them in the smoker but will the net stick to the meat.
It may stick a little bit, but as long as you don’t compress the meat into the netting, it won’t be impossible to remove.
There are a few options to help prevent sticking.
- You can use something acidic, like vinegar or lemon juice and soak the netting in that prior to placing the meat in the netting.
- You can mix vinegar and liquid smoke at a 50/50 ratio and soak the meat netting in that solution beforehand.
Some people may say to use a cooking oil, or spray, but I personally would avoid that.
I would suggest the 50/50 mix of liquid smoke and vinegar.
Austin Used the netting right out of the bag and it worked great. Secured the bottom with a hog ring
placed the roast in it and tied it off and hung min the smoker. Great smoke penetration all around and very nice color. Will be using it all the time now.

Assessing the ethics behind Bitch Media's extensive fundraising campaign
If you’re subscribed to Bitch Media’s email newsletter, your inbox was just as flooded as mine this past weekend. And if you aren’t, then you may not know about the extensive fundraising campaign Bitch launched all last week.
Bitch is an independent, feminist media outlet that critiques popular culture and prides itself on having a “fresh, revitalizing voice in contemporary feminism, one that welcomes complex arguments and refuses to ignore the contradictory and often uncomfortable realities of life in an unequivocally gendered world,” according to their mission statement. In my opinion, independent, feminist media is more important now that ever before, which is why this fundraising campaign can be interesting to analyze.
Being a non-profit, independent outlet makes it necessary for Bitch media to do their own fundraising since they aren’t backed by any big companies or tech kingpins (I’m looking at you, Washington Post). In their 2016 audience survey press release, they outlined the feedback their readers gave them about what they could be doing better. In response to a critique on how often they send out fundraising related emails, Bitch explained that this sort of outside funding is what allows Bitch to maintain its integrity. They wrote:
“Bitch Media is built on the idea that feminist media must be independently funded in order to maintain its integrity. We’re not selling you crap disguised as a feminist must-have, and you’ll never be confused as to whether or not you’re reading a “sponsored” post. But the tradeoff for that level of certainty—if we want to keep our independent, nonprofit status intact—is that we quite literally don’t have a choice but to send fundraising emails.”
They’re basically saying that in order to create the best and most truthful content they can they survive off of outside sources. Bitch doesn’t want to get their funding from unethical advertisements or companies unrelated to their brand’s values. They depend on some source of audience economic assistance and in turn provide the audience with the best possible content.
Due to the fact that independent media tends to struggle with funds, When I received multiple emails in a row regarding donations I wasn’t surprised. These emails aren’t all that uncommon, especially from Bitch. Their September fundraising campaign was pushed heavily onto their email subscribers throughout the last week of the month as they urged readers to donate in anyway they can. Options like joining their membership program “The Rage” at different monthly rates, subscribing to receive Bitch Media’s print magazine counterpart, and traditional donating whatever amount they could.
Bitch had a total goal of $35,000 raised and didn’t make that goal by their original deadline. So what did they do? They extended the fundraising campaign for 12 additional hours with $7,479 left to raise. “While we would normally just call it and hustle a little bit extra in the next few weeks, the September campaign happens at a critical point in Bitch’s financial calendar. And not making this goal? Well, it just isn’t an option,” they wrote in their follow up email, the fourth in a 48 hour span that was sent out relating to the campaign.
In the first five hours after their campaign’s 12 hour extension, they reached their goal.
Although sifting through my inbox at the end of the weekend was a daunting task, through a feminist, journalistic lens this fundraising campaign should be eye-opening. Rather than a desperate plea, it was a call to action. In a world where media outlet biases and economic ties to big companies play a hand in the work that gets published, independent media is filling up that gap with transparency and passion. And sometimes all they need is some monetary support to really get the job done, and done well.

Orc, the leading supplier of online trading technology for listed derivatives, announced that it has developed and launched a market adapter for the China Financial Futures Exchange (CFFEX). The tool will facilitate low-latency access to the CFFEX platform for exchange members and brokers.
The trading technology supplier said that the market adapter was developed and tested on the Financial Easy Market Access System, and that now Chinese clients will have the opportunity to take advantage of the full suite of services offered by two other Orc products – Trading Brics and Execution Brics, specially developed for emerging markets.
Ready to kick-off your Trading Game with Manchester United?Go to article >>
The new product highlights China as a focus of expansion for Orc
Commenting on the launch, Orc’s regional President for the Asia-Pacific, Greg Chambers, said: “Our new market access option for CFFEX highlights the importance of the Chinese markets for Orc’s expansion plans in the Asia-Pacific region and provides our domestic Chinese and international clients with the capability to trade the market’s listed derivatives.”
Orc has continuously been working on its offering, adjusting it constantly to a changing regulatory environment. Most recently, the company announced that it had introduced changes to its trading technology to reflect the requirements leveled on financial service providers by European regulators in the new Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), due to come into effect in 2017.
Earlier, Orc struck a deal with OneMarketData to integrate the latter’s OneTick event stream processing and tick data management solution into its Bricks and Execution Bricks products, once again as part of efforts to keep up with the European regulatory drive.

A Shropshire pharmacy is taking part in a campaign to ensure all medicines are dealt with safely.
Lunts Pharmacy, which has two branches in Shrewsbury as well as stores in Craven Arms and Pontesbury, will be joining in the nationwide initiative that highlights the importance of keeping medicines safe and the valuable services pharmacies provide.
Ask Your Pharmacist Week will run from November 5 to 12 and the theme for this year’s campaign is ‘Let’s Talk About Medicines Safety’.
Martin Lunt, managing director, said: “It is about explaining to patients the risks associated with using medicines inappropriately and encouraging them to talk with the pharmacy team about safe use.
“Patient safety is the key for us and we want each person who comes through the doors – whether for medical information, to buy products or toiletries – to know that we do everything we can to help them live well and safely.
“Ask Your Pharmacist Week is a great national campaign to highlight the vital role pharmacies play in communities across the UK.
“We like to be involved and will have leaflets and flyers in our branches – we are also happy to talk to anyone if they have questions about the campaign or the safe use of their medicine.”
During the week of action there are large-scale public exhibitions, social media campaigns, dignitaries and health related politicians paying visits to pharmacies, and students carrying out opinion surveys.
Mr Lunt: “I believe pharmacies are the lifeblood of some towns, especially in more rural areas.
“Pharmacies can be overlooked in favour of a trip to the GP’s surgery but we can often provide the information, services and medical product required.
“There have been some really exciting introductions to the services offered in store in recent years, in Craven Arms in particular we have been focussing on new ways of helping elderly and isolated people in particular.
“Ask Your Pharmacist Week is the perfect opportunity to remind people of this.”

Like a lot of you, I’ve been consumed by the Brock Turner case, and its particularly egregious form of privilege-soaked injustice.
Then again, we’re continually bombarded by stories that make it impossible to ignore the extent to which our society perpetuates different rules for different people, based on nothing more than the color of your skin and/or your proximity to power.
I know, I know — we can do better, and public education in America is in need of a makeover. We’re in the midst of the biggest shifts to how we think about teaching and learning in more than a century, and some of us are a little slower on the uptick. I get it. […]
One year, early in my teaching career, I got reprimanded for giving too many “A’s.”
“You can’t give everyone the same grade,” I was instructed. “Give a few A’s and F’s, and a lot of B’s and C’s. Otherwise, everyone will know that your class is either too easy or too hard.”
This was unremarkable advice; indeed, it was as close to the educational Gospel as you could find. It was human nature in action.
And, according to a new book, it was completely wrong.
The first time he got in trouble, 7-year-old “Z” kicked his teacher — getting him into more trouble.
A few months later, shortly after his grandfather passed away, he kicked his teacher again.
In many schools across the country, where zero tolerance policies allow little wiggle room for understanding why a child may be misbehaving, Z would have been suspended, expelled, or even arrested.
It’s been the no-brainiest of no-brainers for as long as anyone can remember: If you’re a parent, and you have the means to do so, a mark of your commitment to your children is measured by the amount of money you’re able to sock away for their college education.
But what if it’s no longer true?
Here’s the thing about me: I love schools. And I’m in them all the time. Lots of them, all over the country. So it’s safe to say that I am as aware as just about anyone what is out there when it comes to American educational options.
And yet here’s the other thing: I’m constantly hearing about new places doing great work — new to me, at least, because the folks there have been doing their thing for a long time — and whose approach to learning is precisely the sort of thing we should be hearing a lot more about.
Increasingly, I’m hearing a question that drives me crazy: “Are you for or against charter schools?”
There can only be one legitimate answer to that question: It depends.
Are you speaking of the situation in Michigan, in which four out of five charter school operators are for-profit entities? Or the overall tendency for charters to be even more segregated than their public school neighbors? Or the reluctance by some charter leaders to hold themselves to the same standards of transparency and openness as traditional public schools?
If so, thumbs down.
But if you’re talking about places like Baltimore, where all charter school teachers are unionized (and the charters themselves are almost all locally conceived and teacher-led), or if you’re pointing to the growing movement among some charters to intentionally enroll and serve integrated student bodies – by way of the National Coalition of Diverse Charter Schools – the picture takes a very different shape.
And then there’s what’s happening with Summit Basecamp – a new sort of partnership between charters and traditional public schools that may very well offer the best evidence so far of what Al Shanker first called for back in 1988, when he imagined a new kind of school in which teachers could experiment with different ways of reaching students, and then inject that wisdom back throughout the public school system.
What makes a mind come alive?
How can one community impact every child?
What do schools need to be changing from, and to?
And how can states set the conditions for lasting change?
In theory, these questions have always mattered. In reality, they are about to matter a lot more now that the United States Congress is poised to reauthorize its central education policy for the first time in thirteen years – and usher in an era of state authority on everything from school accountability to teacher education policies.
Now that the balance of power is shifting back towards the states, what should they do with it?

Video: Slimelife Shawty – “Baby Boy”
The Atlanta Rapper Reflects On His Come Up and Battles His Demons In His Latest Video Single
“Atlanta rapper Slimelife Shawty has been building his catalog over the last couple of years, earning attention from Young Thug, Lil Durk, Lil Baby, and more. Associating himself with several of the city’s strongest forces, it’s not hard to see why he’s been rising so quickly. The budding star is seemingly one project away from being recognized as one of Atlanta’s top talents.” – HotNewHipHop
“Slimelife Shawty became a staple of Atlanta’s bubbling underground after appearing on early Lil Keed standouts like ‘Blicky Blicky’ in 2018. Since then, he’s been moving with remarkable consistency, gaining traction with anthemic songs like ‘Don’t Worry.'” – DJ Booth
Slimelife Shawty is becoming a master at baring his soul through his music. Proving his ability to create heartfelt trap tracks once again, Slimelife shares “Baby Boy,” his new video single. With gripping lyrics and raw emotion in his voice, the Atlanta native confronts his demons while still acknowledging everything he has accomplished against all odds: “I know I’m in hell / Everywhere they say the slime couldn’t go, you know I went there.” The young rapper injects every ounce of his pain into his lyrics as he melodically flows on the ATL Jacob-produced beat. Directed by ShotByWolf, the video depicts Slimelife counting his riches and standing alone in a parking lot and a barren apartment stairwell as he anxiously reflects on the life struggles that continue to fuel his hustle and undeniable talent. “Baby Boy” is the follow-up to recent videos for “No Brakes” (1.7M YouTube views) and “Homicide” (958K YouTube views).
Slimelife Shawty has kept busy in the run up to Better Livin, his next project. The 22-year-old rapper recently shared the video for his loyalty anthem “Homicide” (565k views on YouTube), and teamed up 42 Dugg for the remix to “Don’t Worry (Clappers),” his biggest hit to date with over 13 million streams across platforms. Slimelife is a fixture on the ATL trap scene, frequently collaborating with fellow rising stars like Lil Keed and Lil Gotit. Last year, the Alamo Records signee released No Slime Left Behind, a full-length project, and made noise with his street hit “All Summer” (2 million YouTube views).
Slimelife Shawty looks to continue showcasing his ever-melodic flow and unapologetic lyrics. Stay tuned for Better Livin, coming this summer via Alamo Records.

Slimelife Shawty is one of the most promising young voices out of Atlanta, Georgia. Inspired by hometown hero, Young Thug, the 21-year-old has found success with his Southern-twanged, pain-stained lyrics paired with melodic undertones. In 2018, Shawty assisted Lil Keed’s “Blicky Blicky,” which erupted in the Atlanta streets and drew attention to the rising lyricist.

China rejects clean energy probe, calls US unfair
A senior Chinese official rejected a US trade complaint about Beijing`s clean energy policy and said today that Washington might be improperly supporting its own industry.
Beijing: A senior Chinese official rejected a US trade complaint about Beijing`s clean energy policy and said today that Washington might be improperly supporting its own industry.
The US government said Friday it would investigate complaints by a labor union that Beijing unfairly subsidises its producers of wind and solar equipment. "Chinese subsidies to new energy companies are much smaller than those of the US government," said Zhang Guobao, director of the Cabinet`s National Energy Administration, at a
news conference. "If the US government can subsidise companies, then why can`t we?"
The complaint by the United Steelworkers adds to strains between Washington and Beijing over trade in tires, steel, chicken, movies and other goods. It says Chinese
producers can sell wind and solar equipment at lower prices abroad because they get subsidies that are prohibited by global trade rules.
Zhang countered that Washington might be improperly supporting its own industry. He cited what he said were rules on spending of US government money for solar energy that
require equipment to be domestically made.
"If what I said is right, it is the United States that should be sued, not us," he said.
The unusually prompt, high-level Chinese response reflects Beijing`s growing confidence in rejecting US pressure over trade and other issues, as well as its determination to develop high-tech industry.
The communist government is aggressively promoting wind, solar and other renewable energy to curb surging demand for imported oil and gas. It is trying to build up Chinese
equipment suppliers to capture the economic benefits of a fast-growing industry.
In a statement yesterday, the Commerce Ministry said Washington`s complaint signals the US does not support China`s efforts at improving the environment. Zhang said 50 per cent of clean energy equipment installed in China last year was imported and suppliers such as General Electric Co have made substantial sales.
"Once we reveal these facts to the world, the (US) complaint will be shown to be groundless, and all the American subsidies will be exposed," he said. If the US investigation finds the union complaint true, the Obama administration could sue China in the World Trade Organisation.
A favourable WTO ruling would allow Washington to impose penalties on Chinese imports unless Beijing repealed any support deemed to be improper.

Woah! The Black Truffle label have just jumped up a notch in our rankings with this unexpected - and incredibly on-point - reissue of Alvin Curran's 1983 Natural History LP. If you like neo-classical mixed up with noise and electro-acoustic business, then this is kind of like the Holy Grail. In fact, Part 1 actually sounds like something mythical, a crescendo of hymnal voices and fluttering instruments reaching a climax. On the other hand, Part 2 is purely driven by field recordings of port sounds and subtle tweaks of sonic glitches. It is a rather special affair, indeed, and you'll want to hit the DL button because this stuff is impossible to come by on other formats.
Icelandic techno upstart presents his first full length album on Nina Kraviz' Trip label, the very label which presented this rapidly successful producer's style to the electronic music community in the first place. The Lefhanded Fuqs LP showcases many diverse sides to this producer, proving that he can perfect much more than your standard peak time techno DJ tools. The album presents a wide spectrum of sounds, from the slamming electro funk of the dynamic opener "Fimm Atta Atta Fimm Fimm Tveir Tveir", experimental hip-hop like on "+4531704090 2", fiercely cerebral IDM that takes its queues from Aphex Twin ("2366262lhkjdgh"/"Ghentleman Render 2") and of course some noisy and adrenalised techno bangers like on "Gory Ryebread" or "Basketball Smile (Bbbbbb mix)".

T-M suspended teachers reinstated
Four Tuloso-Midway ISD teachers suspended last week pending an investigation into an Instagram post returned to work Thursday, according to a district news release.
An Instagram post seen by Tuloso-Midway ISD Superintendent Sue Nelson prompted the suspension of the longtime teachers and several students who went on a trip to Hawaii together, she said.
The teachers, who are women and have been employed by the district more than 10 years, were suspended with pay April 13 after Nelson initiated an investigation by the district's personnel department, she said. Nelson declined to detail the photo and to say if the group in the photo were engaged in illegal activity.
Nelson said 29 Tuloso-Midway High School students who are members of the Discovery Club and teachers were on a school-sponsored trip to Hawaii when the photo was taken. The club is an interdisciplinary project focused on teaching outside the classroom. They visited Hawaii for a geography lesson, Nelson said.
The news release states the investigation into 'alleged student behavior during the Discovery Club trip' concluded Thursday. 'Not all on the trip were involved in misbehavior,' the news release states.
The district is 'refining procedures for future student trips,' according to the release.
Nelson declined to say how many students are or will be suspended and declined to elaborate on the news release Thursday. A phone call to the club's sponsor and the school board's president were not returned Thursday.
Suspension lengths and other consequences for students, like not being allowed to attend prom, will vary, she said.
Those involved in the incident captured in the photo do not face criminal charges, she added.


You can only curse “The Walk” so many times before you embrace it.
“The Walk” is a reality of playing football for Louisburg College. It might even be the Hurricanes’ secret to success.
There are 33 teams playing some form of college football in the state of North Carolina, but only Louisburg (8-0) is unbeaten.
“We’ve got to have the best glutes and quads in the whole South,” said running back Nehemiah Harris, who’s from Holly Springs and one of a dozen players who have made the 45-minute drive north from the Triangle.
Louisburg’s locker room is up on the campus. The practice field is three-tenths of a mile down the hill and carved out of the woods behind it.
Getting there is easy. Walking back uphill and then another four flights of steps to their lockers?
“The walk back is the worst,” sophomore defensive tackle Larrell Murchison said.
That gives you an idea the Hurricanes, who close their regular season on Saturday at Virginia University of Lynchburg, have it pretty good under second-year coach Trevor Highfield.
The Hurricanes went 7-1 a year ago and have won their eight games this season by an average of 32.1 points. They rank second in junior-college ranks nationally in scoring (51.6 points per game) and in the top 10 in total offense (523.8 yards per game) and rushing offense (287.9 yards per game).
A lack of glamour
As the only two-year college in the state with a football program, the Hurricanes have done well with in-state players. Assistants Will Orbin and Chris Tolbert, former high school coaches in the Triangle, have helped Highfield recruit locally.
There’s not a lot of glitz or glamour in junior-college football. “Last Chance U,” the Netflix series about a Mississippi junior college team, is not coming to Franklin County.
Cam Newton, who went from Florida to Auburn, via Blinn College in Texas, isn’t walking through the door, either. Although quarterback Terrance Ervin, a transfer from Norfolk State, has done just fine with 1,511 passing yards and 14 touchdowns.
There are few frills to Highfield’s successful program. The coaches, there are six including Highfield, have to line the practice field and help with the laundry. Getting a student to volunteer to help with filming practice is one of the toughest parts of the job.
“We’re a full-service staff,” Highfield, 43, likes to say.
There’s nary a seven-figure shoe contract to be found. The players have to buy their own cleats. The players bring their bookbags and a change of sneakers (makes “The Walk” easier) to practice like they’re going to day camp.
Practices are early and they are difficult.
“We’re always honest and up front with them,” Highfield said. “We run a tough practice. We want it to be hard because we’re here to push them so they can move on.”
Three players from last year’s team – OL Theis Bagknop (Charlotte), WR Sam Mobley (Catawba) and QB Darron Downing (Shaw) – moved on to four-year programs. Murchison, who’s listed as 6 feet 4 and 277 pounds, and left tackle Ray Miller (6-4, 295) have a good chance to follow them.
That matters more to the players than if the practice field has some dirt patches or they have to play their home games at the neighboring high school.
“Honestly,” freshman tight end Omar Salem, who’s from Holly Springs, said, “I just wanted to play ball again.”
Happy in Louisburg
Highfield offers his players a chance to be developed and re-recruited. He emphasizes academics and responsibility. There are no delusions of grandeur.
Highfield, a former offensive lineman at the University of Washington, has been to the top of the college football world.
His redshirt year at Washington in 1991, the Huskies went 12-0 and won the national title. He played for the Huskies in 1994 when they ended Miami’s 58-game home winning streak. He was a part of three Pac-10 championship teams and played in the Rose Bowl.
So he’s seen it all. He could chase that glory. He was a Division I assistant at UTEP for Mike Price for two years in the mid-2000s. But he met his wife, Clare, at UTEP and they have two children, Haylijane (9) and Kade (7). They’re happy in Louisburg, where Highfield spent his first six seasons as a defensive assistant.
“I’m here because I want to make a difference with young people, and I want to help,” Highfield said.
The straightforward approach has worked for Louisburg. Most of the players are here because they made a wrong turn academically, either with their grade point average in high school or on their SATs.
Fullback Jordan Mann had offers out of Apex High from Campbell, Appalachian State and Winston-Salem State. He didn’t have the grades, though.
“I thought I was such a good athlete that it wouldn’t matter,” Mann said.
Mann has embraced the second chance at Louisburg.
“You don’t come here to have fun,” Mann said. “You come here to get your grades up and get better.
“If you truly love football, you’re going to do whatever you can to continue to play.”
Well, there is some fun. The Hurricanes made a trip to Annapolis, Md., on Sept. 2 and beat Navy’s JV team, 27-23, at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
A 71-12 win against N.C. Wesleyan’s JV team on Oct. 2 wasn’t bad, either.
“Winning is fun,” said guard Keanu Gonzales, who’s from Cary.
And unlike every other college program in the state, that’s all Louisburg has done this season.

These days, I’m one of those parents who loves hearing, “Can I help with the cooking, Mum?”
But it wasn’t always this way, and I still have to silence that part of me that groans that having them involved will delay me from my 1000 other parental tasks. And let’s not even talk about the mess! But, as teens who were embraced in the kitchen from 2yrs of age, my children are now a genuine help to me in the kitchen whether as dutiful assistants or in complete charge of producing a meal for themselves or the whole family.
Teaching children the essential life skill of cooking, means they can take control of their health and be well throughout their life. The best part - cooking is fun and they don’t even realise they are increasing their knowledge of nutrition, as well as improving their academic and life skills!
Having little ones in the kitchen is beneficial in many ways;
- Learn: Learning how to cook is an important life skill. Not only that, but cooking provides a great opportunity to teach our kids about nutrition – what’s healthy, why it’s healthy and why that’s good. In addition, it teaches safety habits (sharp objects, fire, gas etc.)
- Read: Reading recipes and flicking through recipe books encourages children to read and follow instruction (later, they will learn ‘improvisation’ and ‘multi tasking’)
- Maths: The recipes also use maths concepts (measurement, fractions and proportions), which helps to improve their numerical skills by practical application
- Bonding: It provides important bonding time which not only creates precious memories, but helps to build their confidence. It also presents opportunities to praise your child as they complete a task, contributing to their self-esteem
- Explore: They are introduced to new foods, which they are more likely to try given they are preparing them
- Motor Skills: Fine motor skills are honed in the kitchen, as are their five senses: see, hear, smell, touch, taste (thanks XTC! Showing my age.)
- Creativity: Children have an opportunity to express their creativity – e.g. using cookie cutters to make different pizza or sandwich shapes, collaborating on a new healthy cake recipe and decorating it, deciding on the design and ingredients for a fruit kebab, choosing ingredients they like to include in their smoothie and so on…
- Combat fussy eating: Children are more likely to try new foods if they are exposed to varied types of foods when they help out in the kitchen.
Children develop at different rates and so their kitchen abilities will vary. Use your own judgment when exploring the tasks you think are suitable for your child.
Here are some ideas of some age appropriate kitchen tasks that you could try at home with your little one:
Cooking activities for a 2-3 year old
This age is more about familiarising children with the kitchen environment. Be sure to make the area completely safe before getting them involved.
- Washing fruit and vegetables – set them up at the sink with a step ladder, fill the sink with water, and set them to task with washing with a strainer beside them. This is a great way to get them curious about an array of colourful fruit and vegetables which encourages them to try different foods
- Measure out ingredients and have your children add them to a bowl and stir them
- Mashing food like cooked potato, sweet potato or banana with a potato masher, just make sure the ingredients aren’t too hot
- Sprinkling flour onto a surface to make bread, or seeds onto some pastry
- Kneading dough
- Spinning salad
- Squeeze citrus fruits
- Assemble pizza toppings
Remember, they don’t have to do all these things on their own, you can help them with any, or all of the above steps.
Cooking activities for a 3-5 year old
By 3-5 years, motor skills and focus have improved, so now they can attempt more complex activities.
- Measuring ingredients with measuring cups and spoons
- Cutting soft foods like butter, bananas, mushrooms, and cheese with a dull knife
- Peeling eggshells from hardboiled eggs
- Assembling foods like a parfait
- Cracking and beating eggs
- Make a simple sandwich
- Greasing pans
- Rolling, shaping and cutting dough – use plastic cutters and a small rolling pin
- Spreading - buttering bread and spreading icing
- Picking leaves off herb stems and hulling strawberries
Here are some simple and delicious healthy recipe ideas to make with your little ones under 5:
Dips like guacamole and hummus
San Choy Bow
Why not choose a recipe with your little ones and let the kids into the kitchen this Easter long weekend? I’m sure you’ll be surprised at how rewarding it can be!

A positive outcome for an affordable development in Westminster
September 10, 2018
Westminster City Council’s Major Applications Committee has approved plans for the re-development of the existing BT Repeater Station on Ashbridge Street, to provide 26 new affordable homes.
The site is being developed by Westminster City Council and will create a 5-storey building. The existing building is currently vacant and will be demolished, leaving a small area, which BT will continue to use. At present, the area around the building is largely covered in concrete paving and tarmac and includes a vehicle ramp down to existing basement car parking. As part of the re-development, the Council will look to implement significant landscaping for the benefit of residents of the new and surrounding existing buildings. Part of this landscape strategy includes moving the existing vehicular ramp to the north west of the site, which will allow the courtyard space to be transformed into an enjoyable green space.
The new building will be accessed from Ashbridge Street, but many of the homes will face onto this new green courtyard. Climbing plants trained up wires on the building will enhance its appearance and help to improve air quality. A green roof, with photovoltaic panels will complete the increase in planting to the area, supporting one of the key aims of the Church Street regeneration programme – to increase green infrastructure in the area. The building’s brickwork is chosen to complement the surrounding buildings and the new ‘carpet’ of patterned pavers will tie together the colours of existing and new brickwork, while also creating the idea of an outdoor living room for local residents. The top storey of the building and the balconies will be copper-coloured, referencing the BT repeater station’s original use of amplifying telephone signals on copper wires. Well-insulated walls and draught-free construction will ensure that residents are warm, with low heating bills. Opening windows, appropriately sized, along with mechanical ventilation, will ensure that overheating is avoided.
Lizzy Westmacott, Associate at ECD and the Lead Project Architect for Ashbridge Street, commented upon the scheme’s success: “It’s exciting to be able to replace this existing site with new homes and landscaping. The retained part of the BT Repeater station will become part of a well-balanced elevation, and be covered in planters, hinting at the landscaped courtyard beyond. Every opportunity has been taken to include planting into the design. This means that passers-by will experience greenery as they walk along Ashbridge Street, and existing and new residents will be able to be surrounded by new trees, shrubs and climbing plants – a stark contrast to the current concrete!.”
Derrick Hadeed, the Project Director commented “As a BIM Level 2 project we have worked extremely closely with the whole design team to ensure that the Revit model is fully coordinated and all potential clashes are removed prior to construction. This will improve the quality and contractor pricing of tender documentation and therefore reduce the risk of cost and time overruns on site in their tenders. During design development we were able to create an animation from the model to demonstrate how the new access ramp would work.”
Construction is expected to start early 2019 and will provide some of the first new homes as part of the Church Street regeneration programme, which will see the creation of approximately 1,750 new homes over the next 15 to 20 years.

Among the most splendid objects in the great churches of Cologne are large architectural shrines containing relics associated with local saints. These ambitious goldsmiths’ works are among the greatest artistic achievements of their time. Refined decorative fragments like the small rectangular plaques shown here are often all that remain of these monumental objects, as many were dismantled or even destroyed following the secularization of church property in this region in the first decade of the nineteenth century. During later efforts to restore shrines, some fragments were replaced and the originals sold to collectors and museums.

Tusmørke — Fjernsyn i Farver
(Karisma KAR142, 2018, CD)
by Jon Davis, Published 2018-07-14
This Oslo band has been pumping out the music lately, this being their third release in the last year or so. And (barring the diversion into children’s music with Bydyra) with Fjernsyn i Farver they continue to maintain a high standard of progressive rock originality, fording their own spin on classic sounds. All of the usual factors are present — classic keyboards, songs featuring multiple sections of differing style, and so on — along with a sense of humor. Although my lack of understanding of the Norwegian lyrics may cause me to think some parts (such as the vocal breaks in “Kniven i Kurven”) sound humorous when they’re intended as serious. And maybe my attitude is influenced by all the pictures I’ve seen of them wearing costumes. In any case, while the music is complex enough to invite theory-geek analysis, it’s also fun, almost as if it’s all done with a wink acknowledging the occasional silliness. The message is that progressive rock can be fun without resorting to parody. The keys, guitars, bass, and drums are supplemented by some nice flute playing, which emphasizes the general light touch to the proceedings. The level of craft and sophistication seems to have notched up a bit since the previous non-kids’ album, Hinsides, and every track features numerous nice touches, like the the sweeping synthesizer sounds that start “3001,” which might seem more at home in an Ozric Tentacles space jam, the grooving percussion on “Death Czar,” which contrasts with the grim lyrics (in English), and the flute / bass / clavinet trio that starts “Tøyens Hemmelighet,” which has a slight flavor of Jethro Tull. Fjernsyn i Farver continues the Tusmørke trend of getting better and better, managing to be musically engaging and immensely entertaining at the same time.
Ennio Morricone RIP – Famed composer Ennio Morricone has died at the age of 91. The creator of scores for more than 500 movies, some of his works have become the most recognizable sounds in the history of cinema. His soundtracks for Sergio Leone's Westerns made from 1964 to 1971, are iconic landmarks in film music, but he also composed for dramas, comedies, and other genres. He won the Academy Award for Best Original Score in 2016 for The Hateful Eight. » Read more
Keith Tippett RIP – One of the giants of British jazz has left us. Keith Graham Tippetts, known professionally as Keith Tippett, died today at the age of 72. His work from the late 60s into the 70s and beyond includes some of the greatest jazz produced in the UK, and stands as an impressive oevre to this day. » Read more
Phil May of The Pretty Things RIP – We were saddened to learn that Phil May, lead singer and founding member of The Pretty Things, has died at the age of 75. The band's 1968 album S.F. Sorrow is one of the enduring classics of the psychedelic era, and the group existed in various forms until finally retiring in 2018. » Read more

The latest white paper in Triptease's Hotelier's Guide series looks at live chat. Click here to download the report.
Live chat may have been optional in 2017. In 18 months' time, it's likely to be as necessary for charming guests as free wifi.
Last year, 1.6 billion people were using messaging apps to communicate. By 2021, that number’s going to be nearly 2.5 billion. A hugely significant minority of the world’s population is moving to messaging as their primary method of communication - and that has immense ramifications for how the world’s businesses navigate their guest relationships over the internet.
For hotels, messaging is uniquely important. The ‘business’ of hospitality is based on communication and relationships between people. Increased automation should not mean the loss of people-oriented service; indeed, it’s the technology of live chat that will allow hoteliers worldwide to deliver their individualised service at scale.
While almost a third of businesses in the USA are now using live chat, we’ve only fairly recently started to see widespread adoption in the hotel industry. Those that are using it, though, are seeing it revolutionise their relationships with guests - and their online conversion rates.
Alexander Gibb of Baur au Lac on Triptease’s Front Desk live chat:
“At the beginning, I guess we viewed the tool as a gadget to have on our website. We didn’t expect it to be such a big avenue for converting bookings and driving more revenue.”
Having launched Front Desk (a live chat built specifically for hoteliers) back in April, the team at Triptease are now taking their learnings public with their latest report. Filled with best practices, interviews and tips for selling rooms over live chat, the Hotelier’s Guide is an essential primer to the world of live chat for hotels.

During the summer of 2010 I, with my wife, Lesley, took a Sabbatical. For this work, we used traditional academic methods searching for literature, reading, discussing and writing. However, part of the 'experiment', was to explore what could be added by taking 'journeys with a purpose'. Did the journey and its destination stimulate ideas? Was the process of cycling or walking a stimulus for a different, perhaps deeper, form of thinking?
The overall purpose was to consider the way in which human consciousness has changed over time and how it might change again as we negotiate the 'change of age' that now seems to be upon us. The main output of the Sabbatical is my contribution to a book entitled the Future Public Health, to be published by Open University Press in 2012.
These essays (available to download) provide a reflective account of the journeys.
The first journey was to Santiago in North West Spain. We cycled the Camino to explore the medieval consciousness that had first inspired this pilgrimage and to find out what modern people could gain from taking the Way of Saint James. The chronological description of our 1350 mile journey is detailed in the appendix to this essay. The main text tries to capture the 'thinking' and 'being' engendered by the experience.
Read more about the journey to Santiago >>
The second journey was to the Burgess Shale in Yoho national park in Canada. This adventure was preceded by a series of rich interactions with the staff at Regent's College in Vancouver. The idea was to explore the consciousness that has emerged in the modern era. We wanted to explore how ideas like the theory of evolution have impacted on questions like 'what is a human being?', 'what is our purpose' and 'how should we respond to threats like global warming'.
Read more about the journey to the Burgess Shale >>
The final journey was to the Eden Project in Cornwall. It was our hope that it would provide inspiration for the future consciousness that will be required as we face up to the challenge of sustainability. It did not quite live up to that expectation but, nonetheless, proved to be a rich source of learning.

Rates of recycling fall over last three years in Blackpool
Blackpool is recycling less rubbish than it did three years ago, figures show.
Between April 2017 and March 2018, Blackpool recycled or composted 24,473 tonnes of all waste, 34 per cent of the total, according to the latest Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs figures.
That is worse than three years ago, when 38 per cent of the rubbish was recycled.
England recycled 42 per cent of its waste over the last year, in line with three years ago. To improve recycling rates, the Government has announced that every home will have weekly food waste collections and packaging will be more clearly labelled to show if it can go in recycling bins. Coun Martin Tett, the Local Government Association’s environment spokesman, said: “Councils are keen to work with supermarkets and manufacturers so that they can switch to recyclable packaging.”
Blackpool sent 33,056 tonnes of waste to landfills in 2017-18, 46 per cent of the total. The Government wants half of all household waste to be recycled by 2020.

The main purpose of this trip is going to visit and check the Aillwee Caves in County Clare, Ireland, but before we started the journey at the cave, we went first to visit the Birds of Prey Centre – which is found in the same place – and see those different types of birds which are living there – which seemed to be more interesting for the kids than the caves.
The Birds of Prey Centre started its journey back in 2008 and the main purpose behind starting it was to educate people and entertain them with the dynamic flying displays set against the dramatic Burren Landscape. The mission of this centre is to aid the conservation of Birds of Prey through visitor awareness and education and at the same time fund raising for Raptor conservation monitoring efforts within Ireland.
Aillwee Cave is located in the heart of the Burren in County Clare where the most spectacular views of Galway Bay could be also found. Through the journey inside this cave, we were guided by an expert who managed to share with us the story of the place. This tour lasted for 30 minutes where the tour guide walked with us through the beautiful caverns; over the bridged chasms, under the weird formations, and alongside the thunderous waterfall which might sometimes spray the visitors with its water – but it is okay – in addition to that it is always interesting to check the frozen waterfall and at the same time see those bones of the extinct brown bears (ursos arctos) which is one of the things which you might never experience anywhere else.
You need to take a visit down to Aillwee Caves and the Bird of Prey Centre and experience it for yourself, you won’t regret! Make sure to let us know what you enjoyed about your visit to Aillwee Caves.

The Waukesha County Board failed to over-ride County Executive Dan Vrakas’ veto of a tax on non-library building communities to give to the communities that build the libraries of Waukesha County. While I wish it was a sudden revelation of the wrong-headedness of the idea, the reality is less Damascene. From the Waukesha Freeman:
By a vote of 22-9, the Waukesha County board on Tuesday failed to override a veto by County Executive Dan Vrakas on an ordinance to make non-library communities pay toward capital costs for libraries.
The board needed 24 votes to override the veto. County supervisors Jeff Morris, Jim Jeskewitz and Keith Hammitt, who all voted in favor of the ordinance at the board’s July 24 meeting, were not in attendance Tuesday night.
Waukesha Mayor Larry Nelson, whose taxing exertions appear to be indefatigable even as he isn’t, vowed to fight for the tax next spring when the new, smaller county board meets. Nelson’s support for higher taxes in every area of government suggests that maybe he has too much time on his hands. That, or it merely suggests he should spend less time with his hand out.
The good guys in this battle were: Peter Gundrum, Robert Thelen II, Walter Kolb, Keith Harenda, Peter Wolff, Rodell Singert, Joe Marchese, William Mitchell and Robert Hutton.
The Freeman captured the quote of the night when Supervisor Thomas Bullerman said,
“In New Berlin, we just built a new library and it cost $12 million and you know what? That’s OK because it’s a library,” he said. “You know, it’s OK to pay for something and it’s the same cast of characters that don’t want to pay for anything, and it falls down between towns and those in communities that have libraries.”
Never mind that those outside New Berlin had no say in building the library, whether the cost was $12 or $12 million. Expecting the towns to pay when the cities play is contemptible and even corrupt. Bullerman could have been no more condescending towards New Berlin’s neighbors had he uttered, “Villeins ye are, and villeins ye shall remain.” After all, Bullerman expressed the sentiment well enough.
For those that think Vrakas was being divisive with his veto, it wasn’t the county executive who decided the non-library municipalities were little piggy banks waiting to be raided.
If the library building communities really feel their neighbors are taking advantage of their generousity, then apply the fees directly when it comes time for membership, overdue fines and other possible revenue generators. Consider charging non-residents for the movies, audio books and other media services. Charge non-residents to use the computers. But if the library building communities truly feel that would be too much of a burden to collect those fees, then surrender the libraries to county control so that all can have a say in the expenditures for which they are taxed.


Warning: Contains major spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War.
It's finally coming: the turning point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Avengers: Endgame will complete the story that began in Avengers: Infinity War, centring around the machinations of the giant, purple space villain Thanos.
Infinity War made some earth-shattering changes to the MCU status quo that set the stage for everything that will happen in its sequel and, based on first reactions, the sequel lives up to expectations.
Consider this your final spoiler warning.
Avengers Endgame trailer: Watch them here!
The first trailer for Avengers: Endgame arrived on December 7 without any tease or official announcement, confirming the title.
While the trailer didn't give too much away, it did lead to another host of theories about what might happen in the movie, such as whether we'd see Captain America make a heroic sacrifice to save the day.
Tony Stark seems in a bit of trouble too, stranded in space after losing the battle against Thanos on Titan, but surely he'll be rescued by someone. Maybe his rescue has already been spoiled in the weirdest way too.
Or maybe the trailer is just completely lying to us to mislead us like it did with Hulk on Wakanda in the Infinity War trailer.
A second look at the movie arrived with the Super Bowl, giving us a glimpse at the world following Thanos' Decimation. It's not looking good.
But at least Rocket seems to have found a remote pub, according to some fans.
And while there's no new footage, the IMAX trailer did technically show us more of the movie, 26% more specifically.
A new trailer surprisingly arrived on March 14, revisiting the past of our favourite heroes and giving us a better glimpse of the post-Infinity Snap world.
It ends with Captain Marvel meeting Thor for the first time and he approves of the new team member, while also potentially showing a new Hawkeye for the MCU.
Following the release of the trailer, we got a new poster and it was a bit controversial initially as Danai Gurira's name was left off it.
However, Marvel saw the error of their ways and quickly fixed it.
On March 21, we also got the first TV spot for the movie, although there's no new footage.
It reminded us of everyone who's currently dust in the MCU though.
It was packed with new footage, including Captain America and Tony Stark properly reuniting, before going on to face off with Thanos along with Thor (or is that Doctor Strange in the cape)?
We've also had a proper clip from the movie that sees Captain Marvel plot to take Thanos down,
But maybe they've all been made up of fake footage.
Avengers Endgame release date: When's it coming?
The movie will be out on April 26 in the US, but has been moved forward one day for a Thursday, April 25 release in the UK.
But Karen Gillan and Zoe Saldana revealed that they were doing some mysterious reshoots for the movie in mid-January. What are Nebula and Gamora up to?!
As of March 8, the Russo Brothers confirmed that the movie is officially finished and ready to go.
And could the movie break Avatar's record as the biggest movie ever?
If you weren't already aware of just how big the movie will be, it was originally reported to be clocking in at three hours long, and that still seems to be the case as Joe Russo confirmed that it runs three hours and 58 seconds.
Even Paul Rudd hasn't managed to get any spoilers from them.
Avengers Endgame cast: Who's coming back?
Avengers: Infinity War had the biggest superhero movie cast ever, and even though a load of them are apparently dead, we still expect most of those actors will be back for part two.
The Infinity War survivors are sure be back – that's the somewhat ragged looking lineup of Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Danai Gurira (Okoye), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Chris Evans (Captain America), Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) and perhaps the unaccounted for Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper Potts).
Thor won't be in the best place at the start of the movie though as he apparently blames himself for Thanos winning.
A new report had confirmed that Pepper would be in Avengers: Endgame and she's getting "armour of her own".
Paul Rudd (Ant-Man) will make a return along with Evangeline Lilly (The Wasp), Michelle Pfeiffer (the other Wasp) and thus, presumably, Michael Douglas (Hank Pym). Jon Favreau (Happy Hogan) has also filmed scenes for the movie.
What's more, Lilly has been sporting a shorter hairdo that resembles the original Wasp/Janet van Dyne in the Marvel comics.
And don't forget Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye – or is it Ronin now? The trailer confirmed that he's in the movie in his new superhero guise.
It's likely that Tessa Thompson will return as Valkyrie after missing out on Infinity War as she's been spotted flying with Chris Hemsworth to Atlanta for reshoots. She later confirmed on Twitter that Valkyrie was in "one piece and THRIVING" after Thanos's Snap.
And Valkyrie got her own character poster, so she's officially back!
Could fellow Ragnarok fan favourite Korg also be returning? He's got his own official emoji after all.
Josh Brolin (Thanos) has been promised to return too, although he'll be in the market for some new sidekicks. Maybe he'll just kick back and relax though as Brolin reckons Thanos was "perfectly and totally satisfied" at the end of Infinity War.
And what of our fallen heroes – Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Dave Bautista (Drax), Pom Klementieff (Mantis) and Groot (Vin Diesel)? Can they really be gone forever? Probably not.
But, surprisingly, Holland might not be the one to ask for spoilers as he kept the secret of Spidey's demise in Infinity War for two years. He hasn't even read the script anyway.
Cumberbatch has cheekily been suggesting that Doctor Strange is gone for good, despite there being a Doctor Strange 2 lined up. "I'm dust, baby. I'm just out there. I'm in the ether. I'm probably part of your food chain. I'm in your stomach somewhere," he teased.
And he's not the only one, Stan has said that he's not sure he's in the sequel either. "When I was shooting anything, nobody ever told me what was part one or part two. The truth is, I don't even know if I'm in [Avengers: Endgame]," he explained.
Zoe Saldana has already been teasing a return for Gamora in Avengers: Endgame with a photo of her getting her Gamora make-up applied on set, but she sneakily hashtagged it "flashback" so maybe we're jumping to conclusions.
And sure, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) might look to have been killed by Thanos before the Infinity Snap, but Hiddleston has been seen on set and there's a fan theory that none other than Hela could be used to bring him back to life.
The theory states that Hela survived the destruction of Asgard in Thor: Ragnarok and once Thor finds her again, they'll head to the same cave that he visited with Erik Selvig in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
But don't expect Hiddleston to reveal whether Loki faked his death (AGAIN) as he responded to that theory with "your guess is as good as mine". Tease.
Brie Larson's Carol Danvers (aka Captain Marvel) – the MCU's most powerful superhero – was only hinted at in Infinity War. Her first appearance is in the '90s-set Captain Marvel, after which she can finally join the other MCU heroes in Avengers: Endgame (which she does in the post-credits scenes of her solo movie).
Feige explained that the reason Nick Fury called her during Infinity War's post-credits sequence was because he realised "they were up against something far bigger than they had ever been up against before".
But maybe it was because she can time travel... (More on that in a bit.)
Can she really time travel though? Brie Larson insists she can't and Jackson says he was only messing when he said it.
Talking of Fury, apparently he was on his way to meet SHIELD agent Cameron Klein when he was Snapped. Klein was played by Aaron Himelstein in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron, so could he help the Avengers save the world?
Ty Simpkins, who played the kid Harley Keener from Iron Man 3, is reported to be returning too. And there's a rumour that Natalie Portman could even make an unlooked-for return as Jane Foster, who were led to believe survived the Infinity Snap.
Talking of Thor characters who survived the Snap, Dr Erik Selvig and Darcy Lewis look to have avoided being turned to dust, so could we see Stellan Skarsgard and Kat Dennings back? And maybe Natalie Portman as Jane Foster too?
According to Stellan Skarsgård though, he's not in the movie: "I've done four [MCU movies] and they have contracted for five, and they haven't called me yet."
After his surprise cameo in Infinity War, Ross Marquand is keeping tight-lipped about whether the Red Skull will be seen in the sequel. The Russo Brothers have also confirmed that original Red Skull, Hugo Weaving, was asked to come back.
One dead character who is returning is Crossbones as Frank Grillo confirmed that he will "make an appearance in the next Avengers movie", but insisted it would be for "a flashback". Executive producer Michael Grillo confirmed the return of Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One too.
13 Reasons Why's Katherine Langford is reported to be joining the cast in a mystery role.
Directors Anthony and Joe Russo are returning after Infinity War. Well, 'returning' isn't quite the right word, as they filmed the two movies back-to-back. And Brolin hinted that it might be their final project for Marvel.
Avengers Endgame plot: Hello time travel?
Infinity War dealt with the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy battling against Thanos, who (with his lieutenants/children the Black Order) was out to collect those superpowered MacGuffins the Infinity Stones for his Infinity Gauntlet in order to erase half the life in the universe.
And shock! Horror! He succeeded! What's more, it's even got an official name now: the Decimation.
The rumours of a time-travel plot feel more convincing than ever. How else to bring a load of superheroes back from the dead? The evidence for this includes various actors spotted in their old costumes, including Hemsworth holding Mjolnir and back in his wig.
Another possible time travel clue was spotted in Zoe Saldana sharing a behind-the-scenes snap of herself in costume during filming on Avengers: Endgame, with the key element being that she was in her costume from the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie.
And another came from an on-set photo of Scarlett Johansson sporting Black Widow's classic red hair colour from earlier MCU movies.
Talking of Black Widow's hair, a new hairstyle in the trailer has had some fans thinking that we could be in store for a time jump in Avengers: Endgame, just in case all the time travel isn't enough.
Tony's BARF technology was thought to be an alternate explanation for their retro looks, but we're not sure how that could help undo Thanos's destruction.
One of those is making sure that Ant-Man is in the Quantum Realm when the Snap happened, and it's possible that we could have seen some of the victims' souls in the Realm with him during that mid-credits scene.
What's more, Thor: The Dark World might have hinted at this very theory and its use of a "Soul Forge".
Michael Douglas seemed to agree with the theory as he said that the Quantum Realm is "the key" in Avengers: Endgame and beyond: "The Quantum Realm plays an important part in all the next chapters, I think, of the Marvel films."
But maybe we've all been worried about Thanos and missing the sequel's true villain which a fan theory states could be the Mind Stone. Or could it be the Celestials from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2?
We seem pretty convinced that our heroes will be back, right? Well, considering the two movies we know will follow Avengers: Endgame are a Spider-Man sequel and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, they'll be in for a hard time if most of their leads are still dead.
Then again, Olsen has been saying things are "only going to get worse" in Avengers: Endgame, so maybe everyone will die all over again. Or maybe everything will just be reset to before the Snap happened and everyone will live happily ever after.
According to Downey Jr though, nobody can "guess what's gonna happen" so we might as well give up theorising.
What we do know for certain is that Endgame will mark an ending to what will be an 11-year-old, 22-movie-long story at that point (kicked off in the distant past by 2008's Iron Man).
The official synopsis certainly has a finality to it: "With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers must assemble once more in order to undo Thanos' actions and restore order to the universe once and for all, no matter what consequences may be in store."
All the Russo Brothers will say about Endgame is that it's told from a "different point of view" to Infinity War.
What form will this end take? It's a safe bet that some long-time MCU stars will take Avengers: Endgame as a good opportunity to bow out.
Evans previously hinted that this is his last outing as Cap and followed this up with a message on his last day of filming on Avengers: Endgame that seemed to confirm his exit, with a theory suggesting that Infinity War showed how Cap will die in Avengers: Endgame.
We're still hoping that there's a way Cap can exit with a happy ending and not his noble death. However, could we all be reading too much into Evans's message as he's now explained that he would have "tweeted the exact same thing" whatever his MCU future holds.
If it is his last time as Cap, Evans has joked that he had a "really dumb" final line during the movie's reshoots.
But he did admit it was a "surprisingly emotional" final day filming Endgame.
Will Downey Jr finally retire from the franchise too, as has been teased repeatedly over the last few years? Or maybe Hemsworth is on his way out?
Talking of the OG Avengers, the Russo Brothers have teased that there is a "reason" they all survived the Snap.
And how will these exits happen? It's a toss-up between walking off into the sunset for a well-earned retirement, being murdered brutally to spur on their allies, or the tried and tested Noble Sacrifice™.
Sacrifices are one of the only things we're currently sure about and could two major ones have already been hinted at in Avengers: Age of Ultron? Marvel fans are certainly worried about Iron Man's fate after the first Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer.
When asked to describe the movie, Hemsworth called it "cathartic" – even though he doesn't know how it ends. Downey Jr has promised that the final moments of the movie are the "best eight minutes in the entire history" of the MCU.
Phase Four, we're promised, will mark a big change for the MCU. Whatever form those changes take, Avengers: Endgame is where it all starts.
Avengers: Endgame is released in UK cinemas on April 25 and US cinemas on April 26.

Knowing what is congested skin will help you identify causes and treat it effectively. First, it is important to cleanse the skin properly. Washing your face with warm water and a mild cleanser every day can help remove dirt and oil from the surface and reduce clogging. After washing your face, pat it dry and apply a moisturizer. If you have very oily or congested-prone, acne-prone skin, use a special face pack that will deep-clean the pores and eliminate dead skin cells.
Symptoms Of Congested Skin
Oftentimes, congested skin affects the face, and is the result of overactive oil glands. This can result in a variety of skin conditions, from acne breakouts to blackheads. It can also cause the skin to appear bumpy or rough. You should avoid touching congested skin as it can become infected. Try using a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser on a daily basis, as it helps remove dirt and oil and make the area smooth and clear.
Excess Oil Production
People with congested skin have large open pores. This is a common skin problem, and can result in acne or blackheads. As the skin encounters pollution and dust, dead cells clog the pores and make the skin look dull. Moreover, people with congested complexion tend to use skincare products that are known to contain comedogenic ingredients, which are known to clog the pores. It is important to treat the condition as early as possible so that you can avoid future outbreaks.
Another cause of congested skin is excess oil and dead skin cells. These factors can cause blocked pores. These oil glands can become overactive and clogged, resulting in blackheads and whiteheads. These skin problems can cause the appearance of bumps under the face. Sometimes, they can also be caused by acne or small blackheads. In these cases, it is important to consult a dermatologist to treat the condition.
Aside from oily skin, the appearance of congested skin is often bumpy and rough. You can check for bumps with your fingers. You can also use a magnifying mirror to see whether there are small bumps, clogged pores, or blackheads. It is important to know your skin type so that you can treat it properly. Once you've identified your cause, the right skincare product will make a big difference.
While congested skin may appear rough and bumpy, it can be caused by a variety of other factors. Those who have congested skin should avoid products that naturally clog pores, and heavy makeup. Additionally, diet should be high in Omega 3 and low-GI foods. These foods are known to improve skin health. As with other types of skin, it's important to avoid mass-produced and generic cosmetics. Rather, congested-prone individuals should use products specifically designed for them.
Bumpy and Rough Skin
Although the symptoms of congested skin may be difficult to define, many dermatologists know what they're talking about. Some of these causes are simple and easily treated. If you're experiencing these symptoms, consult with a dermatologist as soon as possible. If you're suffering from dry skin, you should use a topical cream to treat the problem. This will help clear up the pores and minimize your redness.
The skin around the nose and chin is an area of the face that is commonly congested. These areas of the face are prone to acne and clogged pores. Despite the importance of using a moisturizer, you should also follow a few simple tips for treating congested skin. For example, you should use a moisturizing cream with a natural SPF of 30+. You should also avoid oily and greasy products that contain alcohol, since they can clog the pores.
Open Pores And Blackheads
The signs of congested skin include enlarged, open pores and blackheads. These are typically the most visible symptoms of clogged skin. You may also experience redness and a tightness in the affected area. The problem can be caused by several factors. Those who suffer from congested-skin should seek medical help if you suspect a skin condition. You may be able to find a solution for your congested skin by reading this article.
How to Clear Congested Skin
If you have been struggling with congested skin, you may be wondering how to clear congested and acne-prone skin. The first step in treating this skin problem is to cleanse and exfoliate. You should use products with mild exfoliation and avoid using facial scrubs more than twice a week. Increasing water intake is essential for healthy, glowing, congested-skin. A good diet also includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, nuts and seeds, whole grains, and antioxidant-rich foods. Applying these products on your skin regularly will give you noticeable results in a matter of months.
Tips On How To Clear Congested Skin
The first step in clearing congested skin is identifying the areas of the face that appear bumpy and rough. You can check your skin with your finger by using a light-colored hand mirror. You can check for acne and small blackheads on these areas. Using the correct product will clear congested and acne-prone skin quickly and easily. If you use a cream that is too heavy for your skin, you will only make your situation worse.
Clay Mask Or Facial with BHA
There are various home treatments that you can do to clear your congested skin. A clay mask or a facial with BHA will help. Physical exfoliators, on the other hand, will help you exfoliate your skin on a regular basis. The best treatment for congested skin is extraction. An extraction is a quick and effective solution to congested skin. A professional will be able to perform the procedure.
Another method is nourishing skin care products. You should use products that nourish your skin. However, be careful to avoid overusing these products and use a cleanser and toner that is gentle. Moreover, it is essential to avoid the use of heavy face oils. Eventually, the best way to clear congested skin is extraction, but this is more effective when performed by a professional. This is one of the best ways to clear your skin.
Depending on the severity of your congested skin, you should consult a dermatologist to get the most effective treatment for your skin type. In addition to a facial or clay mask, a regular exfoliation will also help clear your face of clogged skin. Moreover, a daily cleanse will help to prevent acne and breakouts. If you are suffering from acne-prone or have congested complexion, you should change your diet to eliminate the foods that are harmful for your skin.
Excessive use of skin care products should be avoided.
In addition to using sunscreen, you should avoid using too many skin care products on your face. These products will not only clog your pores, but they also cause acne-prone skin. The most effective way to clear congested skin is through extractions. This can be done by a professional in a clinic or at home. This method is best suited for congested and acne-prone skin, but it requires a professional's expertise to be successful.
Besides drinking plenty of water, you should avoid sugary and caffeine-laden beverages. Likewise, it is important to wash your face before bed. Ideally, you should avoid makeup and apply skin care products that contain alcohol, which can aggravate the problem. Finally, your diet will have an impact on your congested skin condition. So, you should make sure to make a few changes in your diet. While these methods are not the most effective, they are proven to work.
A well-balanced skin care regime is essential
A daily routine of exfoliating will keep your skin looking fresh and clear. Using an antibacterial cleanser will prevent the formation of comedones and acne and will make your skin feel smooth and soft. In addition to these methods, you should also avoid using excessively-scented skincare products that will dry your face. You should use a cleanser that has a low PH level to prevent clogged pores.
Using an all-in-one skincare serum is the best way to treat acne and clear congested skin. The ingredients in this product will not only help clear acne, but they will also brighten and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, you should use a cleanser with salicylic acid. Lastly, you should avoid over-the-counter medications. Try an all-in-one skincare cream for a better-looking and healthier complexion.
