Loretta Lynn Takes Fan Requests During SXSW 2016 Performance
Loretta Lynn may be 83 years old, but the Coal Miner's Daughter shows no signs of slowing down. Thursday night (March 18), she played a spirited set at the iconic Austin, Texas venue Stubb's during the South by Southwest Music Festival, where she took song requests from the crowd.
According to the Austin 360, the legendary artist — dressed in a floor length red sequin gown — played the role of a jukebox. Whatever the crowd wanted to hear, she would play.
"Well, whatever you wanna hear, holler it out," Lynn said during her set. "If I don’t know it, you can come up here and sing it yourself.”
Austin 360 notes that midway through the set, as she sat down on a suitcase and sipped some water, one audience member yelled out "Fist City."
“Fist City?” Lynn asked. “OK.” Then the band played "Fist City."
Lynn's set included her signature song "Coal Miner's Daughter," as well as "She’s Got You" and "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven," which the band began by playing the wrong song.
“You better listen to me, or y’all gonna be playing for someone else next week,” she joked.
Lynn was just one of a number of country artists in Austin this week for the annual SXSW Music Festival. Both Willie Nelson and George Strait made surprise appearances earlier in the week, while Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris, Wynonna Judd and the Big Noise, Drake White, Levi Hummon, Brett Young, Ashley Campbell, Midland, Delta Rae and Sam Outlaw also have gigs lined up for the festival.

Mash-ed taters stuffed chicken thighs (pic heavy)
@Hennaple and I were discussing what was on tap for the weekend cooks, and he gave me the idea for stuffed boneless/skinless chicken thighs. I was talking to the wife about what we should stuff them with, and my son suggested mash-ed potaters. We happened to have some leftover mashies from the night before. Added some cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and of course wrapped them in Wrights bacon. My publix didn't have deboned thighs, so we got skinless thighs and I removed the bones with a fillet knife (wasn't too hard). Pounded flat with the mallet, stuffed, wrapped, and secured with toothpicks if needed. I dusted them with Oak Ridge chicken seasoning after pounding the chicken, then a little more once wrapped. I cooked them at 350ish high in the dome until the bacon was crispy. Added just a small handful of cherry chips. The internal temp was about 190 when they finished. This will definitely be repeated!
On the egg:
High in the dome;
Various gratuitous shots:
Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

The soulful Texas singer-songwriter talks about her upcoming album, Jumping Over Rocks, and gives C&I readers an exclusive first listen.
Jamie Lin Wilson’s latest venture, Jumping Over Rocks, bears all the wonderful hallmarks of her successful debut album, Holidays & Wedding Rings. Her music showcases a real gift for communicating confusing romance and unimaginable loss with vivid storytelling and vocal verve.
A native of D’Hanis, Texas, a tiny town outside of San Antonio, Wilson draws on the quiet moments, presenting the personal with sly humor and easy grace. The key is her clear, gliding vocals.
Recently, we caught up with Wilson to talk about the new record, working with legendary guitarist Charlie Sexton, and her upcoming tour. Get an exclusive first listen to Jumping Over Rocks at the end of the interview.
Cowboys & Indians: You’re about to release your new album, Jumping Over Rocks. What do you hope your fans will take away from the music?
Jamie Lin Wilson: Something. I just want them to listen to the songs and make their own way with each one. I gave it my all and put it out there, so I just hope it resonates with folks in some way. It’s not really my place to dictate how it plays out in the listener’s mind, I guess.
C&I: What inspired the album?
Wilson: Sounds clichéd, and I guess it is, but really, just life in general. The beauty and brevity of it, the mistakes along the way, the nuance, the coincidences, the serendipity, the hard-crushing reality of it all. I tried to pay attention to the people and the stories around me and write from more of a third party’s point of view, rather than always personal. But I did sneak some of my own experiences in there as well.
C&I: You recorded the album live over a period of four days with talented musicians like Charlie Sexton. What was that like?
Wilson: The players I got for this record were hand-picked according to the overall sound and vibe that [producer] Scott Davis and I were looking for. Charlie is one of the greatest guitar players in the world. To have him put his take on my songs was a dream, really. His tone sounds like a dream. All the players were into cutting live and are used to it. Three of them were or are in the same band [Band of Heathens], and you can’t imagine the value of having players who know and can read each other that way. So, the live recording process was a breeze, actually. As long as I did my part, I could trust the guys to do theirs. Hire great musicians and let them do their thing. It’ll work out.
C&I: How is it different from the normal recording process?
Wilson: I believe that when everyone is in the room cutting live, you allow the song to breathe. It takes on a life of its own. The players listen to each other and to me. As the vocals intensify, so does the track, and vice versa. We played off of and with each other, instead of on top of each other.
C&I: What types of challenges did you run into?
Wilson: In reality, none. We kept waiting to hit a snag, but it never happened. Actually, we kept saying, “Surely, it can’t be this easy.” We even accepted the first mix.
C&I: Any fun stories during the overall process?
Wilson: The most fun thing to me is that I finished two of the songs, “Death & Life” and “In a Wink,” in my hotel room across the street that week. I knew I wanted both those songs, but they both took forever for me to write. They showed up just in the nick of time.
C&I: What do you think helps a song or a story resonate with an audience and create a hit? “Death & Life” for instance— you’ve said it percolated for four years. …
Wilson: With me, the most resonant songs are the ones that are about real life with no frills. Songs that are true from start to finish, real anecdotes from folks around me, with a little bit of my own observation thrown in. I don’t know that it’s a hit, but I hope that listeners get something out of it, or just connect with it in some way. It’s pretty heavy, but meaningful to me.
C&I: What's your writing style? Do you start with the lyrics or the music first?
Wilson: Most of the time, it comes at the same time. Once I have a melody established, I can go on and write without a guitar. Most of the time the shower is where it all comes together. But I usually start it all with both words and melody.
C&I: How do you think you’ve evolved as an artist since the release of your first album?
Wilson: I think that all these years of being in bands and then going on my own have been teaching me what and how I get to say things for myself. Writing for a band is different than writing for myself, so it took Holidays & Wedding Rings to kinda suss out what that was going to be. And then I went a little further, took a few more chances with Jumping Over Rocks. I’m more confident now, I think, but at the same time, question myself at every turn. I think that’s normal.
C&I: What can we expect in terms of touring?
Wilson: I’m on the road right now, pretty busy through the end of the year. I just had my fourth baby in August, so you can expect me to be doing everything I possibly can, all at the same time — and possibly not remembering any of it. We’ve got some Oklahoma and Midwest stuff coming up, and some acoustic shows in Texas in December. Festivals in January. It’s busy. I like it. I hate it. I love it. I’m tired. I’m excited. We’ll see how it goes.

In 2019, legal abortions were forced on Northern Ireland by the United Kingdom (UK) government in Westminster, which is now rushing to roll out a speedier process of undergoing abortions, without waiting for Northern Ireland’s approval.
The new regime, forced upon Northern Ireland by UK lawmakers, went into effect in March of 2020. Abortions would have been allowed up to 12 weeks of pregnancy for any reason whatsoever, and up to 24 weeks for a so-called ” a risk to the mother’s life or health.” However, much like abortion laws in the United States, the law is vague and essentially allows abortion on demand for virtually any reason. In the UK, for example, a whopping 98% of abortions are committed for supposed mental health reasons.
Despite the UK’s decision, there were numerous difficulties enacting the pro-abortion regime in Northern Ireland due to widespread opposition to abortion in the pro-life country, and the refusal of most doctors to participate in them.
Now, with news suggesting over 100 women traveled to England to undergo abortions from Northern Ireland, UK lawmakers are taking action.
Brandon Lewis, secretary of state for Northern Ireland, will enact new regulations in parliament, allowing him to demand the Northern Ireland Department of Health to commission an expansion of abortions, according to The Guardian. This is allegedly due the Northern Ireland Executive’s lack of urgency in promoting abortions. “It has not commissioned abortion services consistent with the regulations originally set out by the UK government nearly a year ago,” the source told The Guardian.
Politicians in Northern Ireland seem to remain opposed to abortion, with the BBC noting that Robin Swann, the Minister of Health, has said that abortion is too controversial to be forced upon the country without the support of the Executive. “He does not believe that a ministerial decision to commission and fund abortion services would be defensible in court in the absence of executive approval,” the BBC reported.
Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, Westminster leader of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), also issued warnings that legislating without the approval of the Executive would cause problems, and complained that abortion was “foisted” on them by the UK. “Abortion is a devolved matter,” he said. “Any move by a [Northern Ireland] minister to legislate over the head of the Northern Ireland Executive would raise serious questions about when and in what areas the government can make interventions in a devolved administration.”

Clive Woodward gave us his thoughts today on the Australia versus England game and Michael Cheika wasn’t happy with his claims.
In his Daily Mail column, today, the World Cup-winning coach decided to have a pop at the Wallabies intelligence.
It is not a case of playing random running rugby against Australia, it’s all about attacking cleverly and with purpose.
It’s about never letting them off the hook. If you can keep hold of the ball and run through the phases, always moving forwards, Australia will disintegrate. Do the opposite of what they expect, move the ball quickly from the scrum, take quick line-outs, tap and go.
Contrary to popular belief, they are not the brightest team, they give away penalties and pick up yellow cards when they are stretched.
Playing at pace also applies to the scoreboard, keep it ticking. Just always score next. Target five tries and if they want to give us penalties in the process, take them too.’
As you can imagine, Michael Cheika did not take that lying down.
The Australian coach declared:
The only place things are going to be different is on the field on Saturday night and that’s where we’ve got to show our colours.
Talk is cheap, you know.
All eyes turn to Saturday at Twickenham, where England know its win or face being knocked out as hosts in the group stages.

"We're joining forces, so to speak. It's great to see the idea we started rippling out.

The Yankees plan in the coming weeks to announce their own plans for an '11 Hope Week, scheduled for July 25-29. "We're probably ahead in the planning, timewise, where we where compared to the first two years. But we've seen some really powerful, promising stories. I've been blown away," Zillo said.

The architect behind the successful rebirth of the Hackney Empire, Tim Ronalds, has claimed that one of London's other world-famous theatres is in need of immediate attention.
Ronalds believes £13 million is needed to fix structural problems at the Grade II-listed Old Vic, such as a leaking roof and a misshapen auditorium. The remains of a temporary asbestos roof, which was installed after the venue was bombed during the Blitz, also need to be removed.
Ronalds, who was appointed to come up with ideas to refurbish the theatre on The Cut, near Waterloo Station, last August, said: 'The fact that rain comes through the roof and fuses the lights in the auditorium means repairs are pretty urgent. Kevin Spacey [the artistic director] considers 'urgent' as things that would make productions work better. What interests me is turning it back to a theatre that has atmosphere and intensity.' The theatre secured £50,000 of funding last year from the Heritage Lottery Fund to make preliminary investigations into the possibility of redeveloping the building.
The Old Vic Theatre Trust, which owns the building - designed by Rudolph Cabanel - plans to make a decision shortly regarding the theatre's future.

Two retail giants have seen different levels of success when it comes to selling food and fresh produce in particular.
This month Wal-Mart and Target released quarterly results. Wal-Mart showed nice growth of 1.6% for the quarter boosted by fresh food.
Meanwhile, Target struggled, as both total and grocery-specific comparable sales were down, falling 1.1% in the quarter.
One analyst said Wal-Mart has gotten away from value-only appeal and has made gains based on better quality and merchandising. But another criticized it for losing its edge to competitors who beat Wal-Mart on price.
Target executives made some excuses such as â€œfood deflationâ€ and took responsibility, but only in vague terms, for its struggle.
We donâ€™t expect them to lay out all their strategy in a press conference.
An analyst said Target has made little commitment to food and perishables, and it shows. Another said Target is a smart retailer who often finds solutions. He suggested Target should focus on fast-turning items like bananas, apples and oranges.
A smaller part of Wal-Martâ€™s business is in its Neighborhood Market concept, which increased 6.5% in year-over-year growth. This indicates Wal-Mart is closer to the right formula for success and just has to weigh the investment.
Target has made a big splash in perishables in the past, so weâ€™re optimistic it finds the right strategy for selling lots of fruits and vegetables profitably.
But it doesnâ€™t appear it has that focus right now.
Did we get it right? Leave a comment with your opinion.

Based in Cambridge, UK, Bicycle Therapeutics, the latest LMB spin out, will combine the most desirable features of small molecules and biologics to create highly specific and stable drugs.
Bicycle Therapeutics has developed a new novel technology platform using phage display to select peptidic sequences that are cyclized on a chemical core.
Sir Gregory Winter said “You can regard these molecules as small molecule drugs with peptide side chains, or as novel biologics, tiny therapeutic proteins with a covalently cross-linked core. Not surprisingly they combine features of each drug class, and we should therefore be able to create drugs with novel properties. It should also speed up the process of drug development”.
Bicycle Therapeutics is a spin out of LMB resulting from pioneering work from Dr Christian Heinis and Sir Gregory Winter, a scientific founder from CAT and Domantis. The new company was set up in July with funding from Atlas Venture and Novartis Venture Fund and in November concluded a license agreement with Pepscan for use of technology related to the chemical core. The new biotech is managed by Dr John Tite, its Chief Executive Officer, and will be based at Babraham Science Campus.
“It is very satisfying to see another new company coming from the Laboratory’s research, and we will continue to work with the company to ensure that the benefits of this technology are realised as quickly as possible to improve human health” said the Director of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Dr. Hugh Pelham.

Indian outsourcer Infosys saw its profit drop even as revenue grew in the first quarter, as margins were hit by staff salary increases, and investments and acquisitions by the company in new technology areas and markets.
India's provision of outsourcing services to other countries will grow by 12 to 14 percent in the fiscal year starting April 1, a trade body predicted Tuesday.
A number of parties have expressed interest in buying Hewlett-Packard's Autonomy software business as well as its EDS services arm, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Wednesday.
Tata Consultancy Services had strong revenue and profit growth in the fourth quarter, indicating that the offshoring market is recovering.
Revenue at Infosys grew in the fourth quarter, but profit fell as a result of a wage rise and investments in newer businesses.
India's largest outsourcer, Tata Consultancy Services, reported on Monday strong revenue and profit growth in the quarter ended Sept. 30, despite difficult economic conditions in some of its key markets in the U.S. and Europe.
India's second-largest outsourcer, Infosys, reported strong revenue and profit growth for the quarter ended Sept. 30, despite concerns about economic problems in its key markets in the U.S. and Europe.
Infosys, India's second largest outsourcer, is offering business platforms on a subscription model from the cloud, as part of its strategy to focus on intellectual property to boost revenue, the company's new CEO and managing director said.
Economic problems in the U.S. are likely to lead to cuts in IT budgets, of up to 10 percent in some cases, according to a report released Monday by Offshore Insights, a research and advisory firm in Pune, India.
India's National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom) said Monday that an economic slump in the U.S. will benefit Indian outsourcers, as U.S. customers look to cut costs.
Outsourcing declined worldwide by 18 percent to US$16.4 billion in the second quarter because of weak demand in the Americas and an overall drop in the number of large contracts awarded, sourcing data and advisory firm TPI said on Wednesday.
Wipro's second-quarter revenue grew, the company reported Wednesday. However, its larger competitors, Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services, grew faster.
Infosys is investing in a products and platforms business that will help it break its dependence on its traditional "time and materials" model, under which contracts are priced on the basis of the duration of a project and the number of staff working...
The service quality at top Indian outsourcers is dropping as they scramble to hire staff to cope with an unexpected surge in demand, analysts said.
The market for Indian outsourcers is on the mend, but these companies will have to build expertise in new technology areas, and set up operations in multiple locations to take advantage of market conditions, according to analysts.

While most snowmobilers are enjoying a late summer BBQ on the deck or a boat ride, six members of the Polaris Snowmobile Test Team recently returned from a 14-day trip to the rugged Andes mountains in South America.
Eight off-the-line production sleds of the 800 Rush Pro-R and 800 Pro-RMK were air freighted to South America for final confirmation in real world conditions. Polaris testers experienced true “winter” riding conditions, including deep powder, in August!
“We’ve ridden in places all over the world, and what we found in the Andes Mountains of South America were areas where no snowmobile has ever been before,” Polaris says in a release. “We put the eight sleds through their paces over thousands of miles during the trip. Upon their return, the test riders declared both models winners and confirmed they are ready to ship.”

Scarlett Johansson's decision to stick with SodaStream and leave Oxfam has become a bubbly controversy, and that's good news. It's good news because Johansson proved mainly one thing: she thinks for herself, and doesn't allow anyone to do her thinking for her. She's a supporter of a free Palestinian state, but that doesn't mean she automatically agrees with any movement that calls itself pro-Palestinian, because some of them have become so engrossed in "the cause," that they've ceased to see the facts or the implications of what they propose.
1. The SodaStream factory is located in Ma'ale Adumim near Jerusalem, a town that will most probably remain a part of Israel once there is a two-state solution. In the accords being negotiated these days, the territory is to remain Israeli, while the Palestinian Authority will be compensated with another piece of land close by, equal in size. In a peaceful scenario of two states, this plant will continue to enable many Palestinian families to make a good living for themselves.
2. The SodaStream factory has equality and human rights written all over it. It employs Jews, Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians -- all with equal pay and benefits. It believes in building bridges, in working together in peace, and in creating a mutual brand. Five-hundred Palestinians would immediately lose their jobs and wouldn't be able to feed their families if this factory were to be moved or closed. Why anyone who is truly pro-Palestinian would want to boycott this plant, is unclear.
3. The Palestinian Authority has not been particularly successful with the utilization of its funds up until today. In the West Bank, the funds were used primarily to create a huge public sector, instead of an independent productive economy. The resigned PM, Salam Fayyad, who managed to contribute a lot to an actual financial state-building, regretfully had to leave his post because he was a political threat to Abbas. In Gaza, which is ruled by the terrorist organization of Hamas, the situation is much worse: the huge funds that were donated over the years were "invested" in arms and smuggling tunnels. As a result, funds have now dwindled, and the Palestinians need all the help they can get in order to build a healthy economy, and for the new state to thrive. Killing the few existing mutual economic interests of Israel and the PA will not aid future peace. Far from it.
4. It's okay to pressure the Israeli government to do its share in order to promote a peace accord, but it seems many have forgotten that there are two sides to this conflict, and that the welfare of the Palestinians depends on many things. People who are truly pro-Palestinian should be very bothered with many questions that are being completely neglected today. How will Hamas cooperate with PLO once there's a state? Can a terrorist organization be expected to change its basic agenda or character? Will the new Palestinian state be democratic and free? Will it have free speech, for example, or equality for women? Because this is not the case today.
Bottom line -- those who are pro-peace should think, and not make automatic decisions just because they've been previously taken by others. After the wave of criticism the ASA received for automatically boycotting Israel, it would have probably reconsidered before taking an action that only hurt academic freedom and the exchange of ideas.
People who want to promote peace find ways to build bridges, encourage communication, and emphasize common grounds instead of taking sides and emphasizing the conflict. Scarlett Johansson was wise enough to check the facts before endorsing a product. I wish I could say the same for most of those endorsing the boycott.


The General Assembly’s insurance committee will hold a hearing later this month on the ongoing contract dispute between Hartford HealthCare and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Executives from both companies have been invited to testify. Members of the public will also have an opportunity to comment at the Nov. 28 hearing.
“The inability of these companies to reach an agreement has had a significant impact on many Connecticut families for the last seven weeks,” said state Rep. Sean Scanlon, D-Guilford and co-chair of the committee. “I think the public deserves answers as to why this dispute is still ongoing and I look forward to helping them get those answers.”

Smart Cities’ journey is a long story that begins in a mid-4th millennium BC in Uruk, that’s the first city in recorded history. Uruk was an ancient city in the Sumer generation, later in the Babylonia emporium, and it also was one of the most important cities in ancient Mesopotamia.
The Uruk city was situated in the southern region of Sumer (modern-day Warka, Iraq), to the northeast of the Euphrates river. Since that, people started to centralize and begin the long way of the worldwide urbanization infrastructure.
Smart Cities terminus technicus was born in India as an ideology for better covering cities growing and development strategy. Later this “Smart City” term become well-connected with the global sustainable development goals that sent the fiture movement direction.
The ages of starting the digitalization of infrastructure and testing various telecommunication and internet network-based technologies for managing infrastructure queues, controlling environment behavior, and increasing citizens’ comfort and the overall quality of city life.

If you missed giving a Christmas present to someone, you can quickly recover the faux pas with a New Year’s gift. Books for gamesmen, gamblers and equine enthusiasts fill the shelves this holiday season.
Heading my list of gotta-haves is Champions (474 big pages, $49.95) published by Daily Racing Form. This gorgeous coffee table book features the bios and complete stats of the world’s most celebrated racehorses with vintage photos of winning thoroughbreds from 1894-2010.
Subtitled "The Lives, Times, and Past Performances of America’s Greatest Thoroughbreds," it leaves no turf unexplored in its presentation of the "lifetime past performances of racing’s elite – more than 500 horses, including every elected champion since 1936."
A color photo of Secretariat by famed photog Tony Leonard graces the frontispiece of this 8 x 11 hardcover book, followed by hard-to-find photos of the heralded horses from the 1890’s-1920’s in the first section titled "Foundations."
Each subsequent section features champion thoroughbreds from each decade: "Legacies: The 1930’s," War Horses: The 1940’s," through "Ladies First: 2000-2010."
With each section written by a different noted author, this third-edition volume gives you viewpoint variety, voluminous stats, valuable info and visual memorabilia from the gate to the wire. For equine enthusiasts, this book is indeed a champion.
Need a gift for the gamblers on your must-give list? Cardoza Publishing is releasing updated versions of the entire John Gollehon collection of casino games books. This week’s release is Commando Craps & Blackjack (144 pgs, $12.95), subtitled "New Strategies to Beat the Casino’s Two Most Vulnerable Games."
Gollehon, self-dubbed "The Confident Gambler," has long been the guru of gambling games. His motto in this book is "Strike fast and hard!"
If you need a gift that challenges sudoku addicts (this is an addictive game, folks!), pick up a copy of respected gaming author Arnold Snyder’s Sadistic Sudoku (128 pgs, $5.95). Featuring "200 extremely difficult, hair-tearing puzzles," this is the latest release in his sudoku series of books.
Also consider periodicals hot off the press at the Gamblers Book Club: Sports Form Basketball (Las Vegas Sportsbook Edition), The Gold Sheet Basketball Records, and Power Sweep Special (bowl games).

I've posted about it over at Pop Goes the Library.
I'm looking forward to the SLJ Battle; and the whole idea of comparing such different books is intriguing.
Here is the first round of books (and remember, 30% off at Flying Pig Books) (Because of the Flying Pig involvement, I will not be doing my usual Amazon linking.)
Round 1 (Week of April 13th)
Match 1: The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume II: The Kingdom on the Waves vs Ways to Live Forever. So, we have historical fiction for teens by an established American author (male) vs a contemporary book for middle grade readers, about a boy who is dying, a debut by an British author (female).
Match 2: The Graveyard Book vs The Trouble Begins at 8. Suspenseful ghost story by a rock star British author who lives in US vs a nonfiction book about a rock star author, Mark Twain, by an established American author. Both men; both writing for the same age group (and both books go beyond the target age group).
Match 3: Chains vs Washington at Valley Forge. Historical fiction set in the Revolutionary War era, by an award winning American author (female) (ages 10 and up) vs a nonfiction Picture Book for older readers about the Revolutionary War by a Newbery Award winning author (male). Both books not only are for the same age group; both are set in roughly the same geographic area (mid Atlantic states).
Match 4: Here Lies Arthur vs Tender Morsels. Historical fiction for teens about King Arthur by well known British author (male) vs fantasy in quasi-medieval world by award winning Australian author (known mostly in US for her short stories). Both are for teens.
Match 5: The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks vs We Are the Ship. Realistic fiction for teens by popular American author (female) vs nonfiction picture book by respected American author (male). First for teens, second for middle grade and teens.
Match 6: The Hunger Games vs The Porcupine Year. To the death fantasy for teens by author best known for her younger fantasy books, first in a series, by female author, American vs historical fiction for middle grade/older readers by American author who has written for children before but is more well known for writing for adults.
Match 7: Graceling vs The Underneath . Fantasy book for teens by debut author, female, vs middle grade book by debut author, female.
Match 8: The Lincolns vs Nation. Nonfiction book for ages 9 and up by well known American author, female, vs alternate universe historical fiction by rock god author, British, male.
OK, it is wrong to boil these books down to such basics that really don't matter. Still, it's interesting, for me, to see how many of these are for older readers and teens. It's interesting what I don't see; no Jellicoe Road, for example, yet every Printz Honor; on the Newbery side of the table, only one of the Honor books. Three of the five NBA nominees are here, but not the winner (the three are the ones that also won ALA honors).
I'd love to know the discussions that went on to reach these sixteen books!

This week I’m looking forward to digging into “Let Me Lie,” which has a really intriguing summary. I’m looking forward to reading a good psychological thriller, so hopefully this fits the bill!
Here we go:
Too late I bite my tongue. Billy turns away, but not before I’ve seen the hurt on his face. I stand helplessly for a while, looking at the back of his head and trying to say sorry, but the words won’t come.
About the Book
The police say it was suicide.
Anna says it was murder.
They’re both wrong.
One year ago, Caroline Johnson chose to end her life brutally: a shocking suicide planned to match that of her husband just months before. Their daughter, Anna, has struggled to come to terms with their loss ever since.
Now with a young baby of her own, Anna misses her mother more than ever and starts to question her parents’ deaths. But by digging up their past, she’ll put her future in danger. Sometimes it’s safer to let things lie…

After months of reports about Yoenis Cespedes being on the verge of free agency MLB has finally announced that the 26-year-old outfielder who defected from Cuba last summer is cleared to negotiate with teams.
Cespedes established residency in the Dominican Republic and then surprised many people by participating in the Dominican winter league, but stopped playing following a rough 10-game stretch in which he hit .143.
Initially there was plenty of speculation about Cespedes getting as much as $50 million, but those rumors seem to have died down. However, according to Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com “he’s expected to command a contract greater than” the $30.5 million deal Aroldis Chapman got from the Reds after defecting from Cuba in 2009.
Cespedes said previously that the Marlins, Cubs, White Sox, Orioles, Tigers, and Indians have shown the most interest, but reports vary on whether he views playing in Miami as a positive or a negative.
As for what type of player Cespedes is capable of being, projections based off his Cuban numbers show a good but not great hitter with 25-homer power and poor strike-zone control.
The Yankees appear to have moved on from free agent Manny Machado this winter, but could they be turning their attention to Rockies superstar Nolan Arenado? That’s the idea floated by Andy Martino of SNY, who hears that GM Brian Cashman has been involved in recent discussions concerning the third baseman. No official comments have been made to the press yet, though, and it’s not clear whether the Yankees would prefer to pursue Arenado prior to the 2019 season or partway through it.
The 27-year-old infielder earned his fourth consecutive All-Star nomination, Silver Slugger, and Gold Glove award in 2018 after slashing .297/.374/.561 with 38 home runs, a .935 OPS, and 5.7 fWAR across 673 plate appearances. There’s no question he’s provided immense value to Colorado’s lineup over the last half-decade, and his consistency and incredible power at the plate helped form the basis of the record $30 million arbitration figure he presented to the team last week. The Rockies countered at $24 million, however, and in doing so may have jeopardized their chances of convincing the infielder to forego free agency in 2020 and take a long-term deal instead.
Assuming he declines to negotiate an extension with the Rockies, Arenado’s decorated résumé and career-best 2018 numbers should attract plenty of interest around the league — a reality that could put considerable pressure on the Yankees (or any other interested party) to finesse a deal sooner rather than later. For now, the club is prepared to enter the 2019 season with hot-hitting third baseman Miguel Andújar, whom Martino speculates would be the “centerpiece” of any trade with Colorado.

Mary J. Blige To Sing Anthem For Thanksgiving Game
IRVING, Texas – Grammy-Award winning singer Mary J. Blige will perform the national anthem prior to the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Day game against the Raiders on Nov. 28 at AT&T Stadium.
The singer, songwriter, actress and philanthropist will kick off the game with the anthem, while double-platinum recording artist and actress Selena Gomez performs during the halftime show.
Blige, who performed the national anthem at Fenway Park prior to the first game of the 2013 World Series, recently released her
“After hearing Mary perform the National Anthem during the World Series, we could not think of a better singer to invite to our Thanksgiving Day game,” said Charlotte Anderson, executive vice president and chief brand officer of the Cowboys. “Her stirring rendition of the anthem on that national stage was moving. With the nation’s football fans focused on AT&T Stadium for our traditional holiday game, we wanted an entertainer that could deliver just that type of performance to kick off what will be a great game.”


1/31/17: President Trump picked Neil Gorsuch for nominee for the US Supreme Court. Although Mr. Gorsuch was more than qualified, the Democrats acted to block the vote (even after Republicans helped approve President Obama's first two Supreme Court Justic picks) by using a procedural filibuster.
11/9/17: When it comes to nominating judges to the federal bench, Trump is moving at a breakneck pace. Mr. Trump has now nominated over 100 judges filling far more vacancies than his predecssor Barack Obama did in his entire first year. In fact Trump will get to fill the most federal judiciary vacancies in 40 years.
7/11/18: Trump signed an executive order aimed at tightening his administration’s control over regulatory judges. The order allows agency heads to directly hire administrative law judges, the officials who rule on legal issues related to government regulations.
7/25/18: Trump issues executive rrder to reclassify administrative law judges.
1/28/19: Trump nominates 51 judges at once, enough to fill one-third of all court vacancies. This included two for the liberal 9th circuit. For the first time in more than three decades, Republican-appointed judges will soon occupy nearly half the seats on the left-leaning 9th Circuit Court of Appeals -- dealing a setback to progressive legal advocates who have long seen the court as a safe bet for favorable rulings.
2/27/19: The Senate confirmed President Trump's nominee to be a judge on the liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in a party-line vote -- and, in a historic snub, the White House ignored the input of the judge's two Democratic home-state senators in the process.


- Between the West Coast of the United States and Hawaii, there's a giant pool of trash over twice the size of Texas called the Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.
- The patch contains over 1.8 trillion bits of floating plastic.
- 25-year-old entrepreneur Boyan Slat is on a mission to clean up the plastic soup — and he believes his company, The Ocean Cleanup, may have found a working solution.
- Finding a solution hasn't been plain sailing, however; it has required rigorous testing, troubleshooting, and repeatedly going back to the drawing board.
- If the changes made to its original model are a success, The Ocean Cleanup will be able to scale up the existing model and, eventually, install plastic traps across the Pacific.

Between Hawaii and the West Coast of the United States, there's a swirling pool of trash over twice the size of Texas.
It's estimated that this area, dubbed the Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch, contains over 1.8 trillion bits of floating plastic — that works out to roughly 250 pieces of debris for every person on Earth.
However, a 25-year-old entrepreneur, Boyan Slat, is on a mission to clean up the plastic soup.
The young entrepreneur's organization, The Ocean Cleanup, has developed a tool to filter trash from the ocean, and it's now one step closer to cleaning up the patch once and for all.
Following modification, the 600-meter-long, U-shaped sweeping arm can now collect a substantial amount of plastic.
Slat raised tens of millions to make the Great Pacific Garbage Patch plastic-free.
"Hopefully we're now closer to a concept that works," Slat told Business Insider.
While he's thrilled with the latest results, the innovator doesn't want to start celebrating too soon, as the journey up until now hasn't been perfectly smooth.
"There's still time for unexpected things to pop up," he said. "It's important to stay humble."
In recent months, researchers from The Ocean Cleanup had been working on an issue with "Wilson," as the first prototype of their plastic trap was affectionately dubbed — the 2,000-foot-long U-shaped pipe didn't move at the right speed through the water.
To collect plastic, the sweeping arm either has to move a lot faster than the plastic so that the waste is caught or it has to move a lot more slowly, so that the plastic floats into the mouth. Either way, it needed to move consistently.
According to a blog post by Slat, last year's tests showed that the speed difference wasn't substantial enough — the plastic would flow into the system, but it would also just float straight out again.
Researchers later managed to figure out that the issue was down to a design and manufacturing flaw. A crack at the bottom of the pipe eventually developed into a full-blown fracture, spilling rubbish back into the ocean.
The Ocean Cleanup tried six alternative solutions in June and July, according to a Slat's blog post.
It turned out that slowing the system down worked best. To do this, The Ocean Cleanup attached a 20-meter diameter underwater parachute to the ends of the pipe.
This type of parachute is used by oil tankers in harsh weather conditions to stabilize ships when the engines are broken, according to Slat.
The parachute ensures that the tanker floats in the direction of the waves, as side-impact waves can be dangerous for a stationary vessel.
The Ocean Cleanup obtained one from a New Zealand supplier.
"The parachute is resistant enough that the system brakes sufficiently to catch plastic," says Slat. "Sometimes it goes a little deeper, sometimes it rises a little more towards the surface. Small movements are enough to keep it open."
According to Slat, the test shows that the basic principle of the design is in order.
There is another complication, however. The Ocean Cleanup conducted six expeditions between November 2013 and July 2015, only to find that the majority of plastic debris stays near the surface of the water, which meant that plastic ended up escaping over the parachute.
"You solve a problem then get a new one in return," said the young entrepreneur.
The screen extends three meters below the surface of the water and is essentially there to ensure the waste doesn't pass below the pipe.
In the original design, the screen was attached to the underside of the tube, but The Ocean Cleanup got rid of it after the sweeping arm broke. Too much tension was applied to the system, causing the material to show signs of fatigue.
"We've now made the pipe as simple as possible. As a result, we had to bring the screen forward and it had to float on its own," explained Slat.
The Ocean Cleanup is now using a cork line similar to the sort you might find in a competition swimming pool.
As the floats only protrude roughly 10 cm above the water, the plastic can get over it — however, The Ocean Cleanup already has a solution for this: larger floats that form a wall half a meter high.
Last night a ship departed from Mexico to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch with a new improved cork line on board.
"If everything works according to plan, we could have installed it next week," Slat said.
If the modification turns out to be a success, The Ocean Cleanup will be able to start phase two of their long-term project, scaling up the current model.
"The construction now has a total span of about 70 meters. You'd need hundreds of systems to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is awkward and expensive," Slat said.
So the plastic trap needs to be bigger — how big though? Slat doesn't know yet.
"That's what the calculations have to show," he said.
Once the larger pipe system has been tested, it'll be time to install a whole series of plastic traps in the Pacific.
Slat wants to take a look himself as he hasn't even been to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch yet, due to the fact that he gets seasick.
"I went on a research expedition in the Atlantic once. I ended up sick because of it for a week," he said. "As soon as there's a whole fleet of systems in place, I'd like to take a look. That'd be worth it."

Robot Palletizing Systems are next-generation palletizers that use a robotic arm to orient, pick, place, and arrange products into a single stack of load.
You can employ these robotic arms to multitask in your warehouse, making your work easier. Many people prefer them as they have lower capital costs and are versatile. However, they lack speed, and their robotic ability limits their potential. Thus, they cannot fully replace conventional palletizers.
Advantages Robotic Palletizer
Automatic robot palletizing systems eliminate manual labor by lifting heavy products effectively. They increase productivity since they are not prone to exhaustion. With proper maintenance, they can operate 24/7, which increases productivity.
Better product handling
Since they are automated, they are programmed to pick and arrange the products without causing damage. In addition, they are error-free since they don’t have to make decisions.
Improved Workplace Safety
Automatic robot palletizing systems eliminate hazards and threats like permanent damage to workers’ health. Manual palletizing includes hazards like slipping, falling, tripping, and crushing.
Reduced Operating Costs
The cost-benefit of robotic palletizing is that they replace workers, thus saving on cost. Moreover, they increase output and have low product wastage.
However, the robotic palletizing systems are slower than human, they are expensive to install, they need constant power, they are high maintenance and lead to human losses of jobs which is not good for the economy.
There are different types of automatic robot palletizing systems, including; single robotic palletizers, robotic depalletizers, layer forming palletizers, gantry palletizer, SCARA palletizer, mixed configuration, and cartesian palletizers.
