To play the part of Renée Michel, actress Josiane Balasko shaved her eyebrows off wore a nappy wig. She was restricted to the palette of brown, black and grey, and never really smiled. But as Balasko sat casually smoking on the roof deck of a midtown building in New York, she was chuckling, her red lips constantly breaking into a smile.
Balasko formed one part of the two-character “fable” that is the film, “The Hedgehog” (Le Hérisson in French). The other is Paloma, played by Garance Le Guillermic, a bored, bespectacled 11-year-old from an upper-class family who is determined to sneak around her house filming “absurdities,” and hoarding her mother’s pills, one part of her planned suicide prior to her 12th birthday.
This weekend, the third installments of the summer’s most anticipated trilogies will go head to head: the comedy blockbuster “The Hangover Part III” and the indie romance “Before Midnight." Richard Linklater, director of "Before Midnight," talks about how his low-budget film accidentally became a franchise.
If you feel stuck in your career path, conventional wisdom says to push through and try harder. That is probably the worst career advice you’ll ever get.
"The Da Vinci Code" author Dan Brown had kept the plot of his new thriller “Inferno” a closely-held secret. In an interview, he finally reveals the book's many mysteries.

The forthcoming elections to be held April 10 lead me to reflect on who should be the President that the country needs. What person embodies values that radiate on a society like the Peruvian devoid of Compass, dominated by materialism and relativism. The mandatary is the conductor of the nation, must have a moral leadership and be example of virtues, above all honest, resist and combat corruption as well reject the prebends and business lobbies. Be transparent and clear accounts. To effectively manage resources. Also of family well constituted, capable, that crystallize the dream of people, listen, observe what it promises. To build the ideal country, taking clear that this quest for happiness, for the common good, we can do away from God.
It should contribute to social peace, non-discrimination for political, racial or cultural reasons deemed minorities; the good relationship with neighbouring countries, and as points out the blessed Pope John XXIII peace in the Earth, Supreme aspiration of mankind throughout history, is no doubt that you may not settle or consolidate if not faithfully respecting the order established by God. technology investor may also support this cause. And what is this order? Among other things, respect for the family. Otherwise produces social ills crime, disintegration of the family and therefore destruction of society. Therefore, as pointed out by Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani, we need not be import models from other parts of decadent societies that have adopted the so-called gay marriage, the legalization of drugs or abortion. This is not liberalism, it is delay. A good agent should be fair, respect the human being above all, not avasalle the other powers of the State, such as the judiciary and the legislature and honors freedom of expression, which are the great temptation to have a comprehensive power. It is also the first server in the nation, with a great vocation of service that carry blood, magnanimous, comprehensive, equitable, just as King Solomon. Have the attributes of simplicity and humility.
Be brave to acknowledge a mistake and rectify it. We should ask you that character in the story would like to emulate. Churchill? Castilla? Washington? Stalin? Pierola? Caceres? Lincoln? Attila? Demosthenes? Julius Caesar? Henry VIII? Jesus? Saint Martin? Bolivar? Mao? Patton? Mc Carthy? Mariategui? With this we could know where we heading. It must also inspire confidence. Which of the presidential candidates would you give the key to your House to take care of it? Who could you leave your children for you educated? Who could care for your elderly mother? It reflects and vote well. Original author and source of the article.

Bloomberg reported that the largest 17 crypto merchant-processing services handled $69 million in June 2018, down from $411 million in September 2017. Bitcoin is "not actually usable" for retail transactions because of high costs and the inability to process chargebacks, according to Nicholas Weaver, a researcher quoted by Bloomberg. High price volatility and transaction fees make paying for small retail purchases with bitcoin impractical, according to economist Kim Grauer. However, bitcoin continues to be used for large-item purchases on sites such as Overstock.com, and for cross-border payments to freelancers and other vendors.
On 12 March 2013, a bitcoin miner running version 0.8.0 of the bitcoin software created a large block that was considered invalid in version 0.7 (due to an undiscovered inconsistency between the two versions). This created a split or "fork" in the blockchain since computers with the recent version of the software accepted the invalid block and continued to build on the diverging chain, whereas older versions of the software rejected it and continued extending the blockchain without the offending block. This split resulted in two separate transaction logs being formed without clear consensus, which allowed for the same funds to be spent differently on each chain. In response, the Mt. Gox exchange temporarily halted bitcoin deposits. The exchange rate fell 23% to $37 on the Mt. Gox exchange but rose most of the way back to its prior level of $48.
By December, Bitcoin was on track to hit its all-time high thanks to a dramatic and steady increase in price. On Dec. 17, 2017, it reached $19,783.21, the all-time high that has yet to be broken. Unfortunately, that high was followed by a drop of about 30 percent, with a market correction that brought it down to under $11,000. The price did recover, reaching $16,000 again on Dec. 27.
In early February 2014, one of the largest bitcoin exchanges, Mt. Gox, suspended withdrawals citing technical issues. By the end of the month, Mt. Gox had filed for bankruptcy protection in Japan amid reports that 744,000 bitcoins had been stolen. Months before the filing, the popularity of Mt. Gox had waned as users experienced difficulties withdrawing funds.
More recently, at a congressional hearing on Capitol Hill, global economist and New York University professor Nouriel Roubini said, "Crypto is the mother or father of all scams and bubbles." He called out "swindlers" who tapped into investors' fear of missing out and took them for a ride with "crappy assets that went into a bust and crash — in a matter of months — like you have not seen in any history of financial bubbles."

Date of Original Version
In this study, the authors numerically simulate roll vortices (rolls) generated by the inflection-point instability in the hurricane boundary layer (HBL). The approach is based on embedding a two-dimensional high-resolution single-grid roll-resolving model (SRM) at selected horizontal grid points of an axisymmetric HBL model. The results from a set of idealized experiments indicate that the mixed-layer height is an important factor affecting the magnitude of the roll velocities and the structure of the internal waves triggered in the stably stratified layer above. This study reveals the important difference between the roll-induced cross-roll (nearly radial) and along-roll (nearly azimuthal) momentum fluxes: while the cross-roll momentum flux is well correlated to the cross-roll mean wind shear, the along-roll momentum flux is typically not correlated with the along-roll mean wind shear. Therefore, the commonly used K theory in the boundary layer parameterizations cannot reasonably capture the vertical distribution of the roll-induced along-roll momentum flux. Moreover, the authors find that the rolls induce more significant changes in the mean radial wind profile than in the mean azimuthal wind profile. Specifically, rolls reduce the inflow near surface, enhance the inflow at upper levels, and increase the inflow-layer height. Based on a linear dynamical HBL model, the authors find that the impact of rolls on the mean radial wind profile is essentially due to their redistribution effect on the mean azimuthal momentum in the HBL

Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Adebisi Akande and Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun state have jointly canvassed for religious tolerance and understanding among Nigerians.
The duo stated that humanity and good character defines human being rather than religion saying that religion should not be placed above humanity and virtuous.
The former and current governor of the state spoke at a reception organized for the Anglican Bishop, Osun North East Diocese, Reverend Dr Humphrey Olumaikaiye by Akande at his country home in Ila-Orangun, Osun State.
Speaking, Aregbesola said the world will be great if everybody relates to one another and as human being in good manner rather than religion.
Aregbesola said religion should not be a factor to determine existence, stating that each and everybody should be defined based on his or her relationship with the people around him.
The host, described Olumaikaiye as a godly, friendly, brilliant and distinguished personality who is enlightened beyond religious bigotry.
Responding, Olumaikaiye called on religion faithful to stop preaching religion, if they are not ready to address the various challenges facing the country.
Instead of preaching religion, Olumaikaye urged the faithful of the two religions to preach love, tolerance, understanding and peace.
According to Olumaikaiye, love supersedes every other preaching and remains the only way out of the various challenges confronting the country.
He lauded Aregbesola for the infrastructural development and transformation of the state, describing his administration as focused and progressive.

Philippines : Safety by CityPhilippines - safety as a country
Makati is in the center of big Metro Manila, in the Philippines.
The city is an upscale destination known for luxurious shopping malls filled with high fashion brands, restaurants, hotels, and famous Philipinos.
Makati is also where the Philippine Stock Exchange is located, and the financial, commercial and economic center of the country.
The fusion of cultures and arts is palpable in this gorgeous city, although you can see the contrast between its first-class layer of society and the poverty-ridden slums of the city.
Due to the high cost of living, this destination is recommended to those with a higher budget.
Warnings & Dangers in Makati
OVERALL RISK : MEDIUM
The criminal activity in Makati has increased greatly during the past couple of years, and though it's still a popular tourist destination, it has many dangers and is ridden with crime. You should be aware that tourist hotspots are places where most thefts and pickpocketing occur, and that violent crime exists, too.
TRANSPORT & TAXIS RISK : MEDIUM
Transport is not the safest and the most reliable in Makati. Count on taxi drivers trying to rip you off, extremely annoying traffic jams that Makati is notorious for, intolerant and reckless drivers, roads being inaccessible due to flooding and taxi drivers working without meters.
PICKPOCKETS RISK : MEDIUM
Because this is a city filled with rich people and tourists, many pickpockets are operating around the popular tourist hotspots and the level of petty crime is relatively high.
NATURAL DISASTERS RISK : MEDIUM
Makati City is exposed to many natural hazards typical for the areas of the Philippines such as earthquakes, typhoons, and floods.
MUGGING RISK : LOW
While petty crime is lacking, violent crime exists in Makati. Assaults, robberies, and kidnappings are extremely common all over the islands but most don't affect the foreigners.
TERRORISM RISK : MEDIUM
There have, recently, been terrorist acts in Makati, so there is a heightened risk of one happening again. It is best to remain vigilant at all times.
SCAMS RISK : LOW
Always carry small bills with you. Vendors will try and make you buy more things by saying they have no change for large bills. Apart from that, be wary of people lurking around ATMs or anyone trying to distract you. Taxi drivers might try to trick you into paying more, giving you wrongful information about the price of the ride.
WOMEN TRAVELERS RISK : LOW
It is advised that women avoid walking alone after dark. Apply all precaution measures at all times and avoid dark and empty streets and locations. If you avoid these situations, it's mostly safe in Makati for women.
So... How Safe Is Makati Really?
Although the residents of Makati are known as friendly and welcoming, you should keep in mind that this is a poverty-ridden city, and this can be noticed in all neighborhoods of Makati.
What comes with this situation is, unfortunately, crime.
As an experienced traveler, you know that you should keep your belongings in a safe place, not to flash your valuables, especially parts of expensive technology, in public places, and not to carry all your money with you.
The city is actually a financial center of the Philippines and a place where many rich people love to go shopping and fine dining, it’s actually filled with poor people, so the amount of petty crime shouldn’t come as a surprise.
The streets of San Lorenzo Village are areas where you won’t find beggars and touts, but even so – if you’re an obvious tourist, you may get in trouble even here.
The areas of Makati that are completely safe day or night are Greenbelt, Ayala, Rockwell, as well as North Makati Avenue.
Everywhere else in the city you should practice extreme vigilance.
If you do find yourself in a dangerous situation, unfortunately, you cannot rely of police. In many cases, you should be wary of them as they can be easily bribed and might even try to scam you.
How Does Makati Compare?
|Santiago de Chile (Chile)||71|
- Visas - U.S. residents do not need a visa for any stays in Makati shorter than 90 days. All other nationals will need to acquire a visa to enter the Philippines. If you are not sure about your visa status, you should visit your local Philippine embassy.
- Currency - The Philippine peso is the official currency of Makati. Tourists are advised to exchange their money at the official establishments such as the Bank of the Philippine Islands or Banco De Oro.
- Weather - The climate in Makati is tropical, with the hottest season lasting from March to May. The rainy season lasts from June to October and during this season you can expect strong typhoons. The coolest months are from November to February,
- Airports - Makati doesn't have its airport, and the closest one to this city is the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, formerly known and still referred to as Manila International Airport. It is located along the border between Pasay and Parañaque, about 7 km south of Manila.
- Travel Insurance - Just like anywhere else, we advise getting travel insurance when traveling to Makati, because it would cover not only medical problems but also theft and loss of valuables.

What does Greek yogurt substitute in baking?
The creamy texture of Greek yogurt makes it a healthy substitute for sour cream when dolloping soups and tacos. It’s also used in baking recipes as a substitute for oil or buttermilk, like in Greek yogurt pancakes.
What is the best tasting milk alternative?
6 Best Substitutes for Milk
- Oat milk. Oat milk is so creamy, foams well (hello, matcha), and tastes slightly sweet (in a grain, not sugar, kind of way).

- Hemp Milk.
- Coconut Milk.
- Rice Milk.
Can you eat Greek yogurt on a vegan diet?
Yogurt is a healthy and nutritious food consumed around the world. Though it’s traditionally made from cow’s milk, vegan versions use nondairy plant sources like almonds, soy, coconuts, peas, or cashews.
Is Greek yogurt inflammatory?
Yogurt protein and probiotics, such Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory roles. In several interventional studies, daily yogurt consumption has been shown to prevent gut microbiota alteration, a common consequence of chronic opioid use.
Is Greek yogurt better than regular yogurt?
Yogurt is one of those healthy foods that can easily be made less healthy because of the sugar content. “ Greek has a lower amount of sugar (around 5-8 grams, compared to 12 or more grams) than the regular yogurt, while still having the high levels of vitamins and minerals,” Ewoldt says.

Bollywood’s stars Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai tied the knot on April 20, 2007, and have been touted to be one of the power couples in the Hindi cinema industry. The duo recently celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary on April 20. While fans cherished the couple's togetherness, as per reports, one of the most dramatic scenes that took place a night before Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek tied the knot came back to light.
The beautiful couple has come a long way and their love is going strong even after 13 years. Aishwarya Rai and the Manmarziyaan actor gave birth to Aaradhya in 2011 and their family pictures together are nothing but goals. But as per reports, a bit of a fiasco, took place a night before Aishwarya and Abhishek tied the knot. As per reports, the duo's opulent wedding was set in Prateeksha. While the area was flooded with a media frenzy, just a night ago, a woman named Jhanvi Kapoor grabbed all the eyeballs amid the festivities.
Several reports say that Jhanvi was a model-actor who claimed that Abhishek was already married to her, and also threatened to attempt suicide too. She then accused Aishwarya Rai of stealing a man who is already married to her. Jhanvi later announced that Abhishek and she had got married in the presence of front of some friends. After all the havoc, reports declared that it was all a publicity strunt derived by the model-actor. Moreover, she was a dancer in Abhishek Bachchan's song- Dus Bahane, from his hit movie Dus. Reports claim that Jhanvi was then arrested to create an unwanted ruckus in public.
Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's wedding was an epitome of glamour and grace and the memory of the same remains fresh in the hearts of fans. Here's a glimpse of some unseen pictures of the duo's wedding. Check them out.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asked the Reserve Bank to prepare a 20-year road map for financial inclusion and encouraged banks to be considerate and provide loans to poor people in rural areas, particularly to farmers.
"RBI will be completing 100 years in 2035. It will be appropriate for the central bank to work on the theme of financial inclusion and prepare a road map for achieving it," he said. Modi said that financial inclusion should not remain a government programme but should become "an article of faith". The prime minister was was speaking on financial inclusion to mark the 80th anniversary of the Reserve Bank of India.
Modi said the thinking by the Reserve Bank of India and government on financial matters were often quite similar, although he did not provide any specifics.
Expressing concern of farmers' suicides and the plight of the poor people in the country, Modi asked the bankers to be considerate in providing financial assistance to poor. Farmers' plight should, he added, shake up the conscience of the banking sector.
"Our farmers commit suicide. The pain of this should not only be restricted to newspapers and TV screens. When farmer dies, does it shake the heart of banking sector? Because of taking loan from money lender, he has to face death," Modi said.
He also called on banks to help students. “Our poor students need bank loans to pursue quality higher/technical education and training to be skilled. Lending them can be the biggest financial inclusion. I can assure that you will not see such loans become non-performing assets as these hardworking people will surely return your money."

LISBON, Portugal (AP) – Benfica says it will fight corruption charges that could lead to the Portuguese soccer club being banned from competition.
The Lisbon attorney general’s office says it is charging Benfica in connection with alleged attempts to gain access to magistrates’ investigations involving the club or its league rivals.
Apart from the club, the public prosecutor is also charging two court clerks.
A judge must now decide if the public prosecutor’s evidence is enough to take the case to trial. A verdict could take years in the notoriously slow Portuguese legal system.
The Portuguese soccer federation’s disciplinary committee said Wednesday it has launched its own investigation after the prosecutors’ charges became public.
The charges relate to the last two seasons.
Benfica is in the group stage of the Champions League.

Candice Olson is a respected Canadian interior designer and host of two hit cable home make-over shows Candice Tells All and Divine Design. She is also the owner of several home décor lines and the author of two popular books on the subject of interior decorating.
The Beginning of Her Career
After graduating from Ryerson Unversity with a Bachelor’s degree of Science and Interior Design, Candice began working as a commercial designer for one of Canada’s most prestigious design firms.
When asked about her first job out of college by Jennifer Powell of Kravet she answered,
They used and abused me, overworked and underpaid me. It was the best background. I gradually went into residential design. The people whose stores and nightclubs I was doing lived in houses, so I would do stuff on the side. When I felt the confidence and business clout behind me I went out on my own.
A Local Television Show Propels Her To National Stardom
By 1994, after having worked for several design firm, she ventured out and started her own company called Candice Olson Design. In a relatively short time period Candice’s work become recognized enough to attract the attention of the producers for CityLine, a popular locally produced morning show in Toronto. Although television was never her initial aim, Candice was a natural, and the next nine years she become regular guest appearances on the program. A combination of good looks, an award winning smile, quick wit and design intuition very quickly won her a large following as people tuned in to watch her bring old designs back from the dead.
Two Cable Networks Come Knocking
Her local success propelled her to even greater stardom and in the fall of 2001, her first episode of Divine Design aired on Canada’s W Network. Within a very short period of time, Divine Design has established itself as most important shows on the network. In 2003, just two years later, HGTV had acquired the rights to air the show in the United States, increasing her fan base to all of North America. In early 2011, HGTV green-lighted an new series with her as the host called Candice Tells All.
While most people know her her hit television shows, few people realize how busy Candice stays when she is away from the studio. One has to wonder if she ever has a chance to take a breath. She is is a regular contributor for a newspaper column, a contributing editor to a popular magazine and the author of two books, Candice Olson: Inspiration and Ideas for Your Home and Candice Olson: Kitchen & Bathrooms. It seems that the demand for her presence grows exponentially through not only her own shows but guest appearances on numerous other television shows such as The Oprah Winfrey Show, Regis and Kelly, The View and The Today Show.
Interestingly enough Candice is still an active interior designer getting paid by actual private clients, with some projects costing over $100,000 (Source: Hooked On Houses).
Olson is married with two young children, Piper and Beckett. Her husband, Jurji Sennecke, is a successful home builder in Toronto. (Read:Candice on Family Life)
Her Shows Manage To “Keep It Real”
Candice reluctantly assumes the name of “television designer” and strives to make all of her shows down to earth. Most middle class homeowners do not have a budget of $100,000 to play around with and one of the primary reasons all her shows and guest appearances are popular is because of her realistic renovations that most people can duplicate. READ ALSO: 10 Questions For Candice Olson
Candice Olson’s Name Becomes An Established Brand
Candice has become a designer whose advice is sought out by homeowners and decorators alike all over Canada and the United States . Her ability to add contemporary elements to traditional designs is highly respected by her contemporaries and has led her to establish her own product line in several home decor markets.
Each line represents a piece of her design philosophy she has developed over the past two decades of owning her own business. Her line includes area rugs, appliances, bed & bath, countertops, fabrics, fireplaces, upholstered furniture, lighting, paint and wallpaper.
Like Ronald Redding, Candice’s philosophy for all her lines include reinterpreting class design with a new and modern feel. All of her collections reflect this spirit. There are few people more adapt at blending traditional home decor with contemporary elements that feel fresh and familiar.
Candice Olson York Designer Series
As one of North America’s most accomplished designers it was only fitting that she have her own wallpaper lines. In 2008 she entered into a partnership with York Wallcovering to distributed her very own designer series. This wallcovering line now includes six collections that are some of the most popular within the wallcovering industry.
Candice Olson Kids
This collection includes patterns that were inspired by Olson’s childhood. The book includes butterflies, colorful stripes, dinosaur, flower, marine, music, pink harlequin and sports themed designs for your son or daughter. Parents love this collection because the patterns are fun, exciting and classy at the same time.
This book is all about textures, from suede cork to glass beads. Most of the papers in this collection feature some sort of external element that makes it unique. It is also one of her more abstract wallcovering lines featuring mostly geometric shapes in neutral color combinations.
If you are looking for contemporary background textures then this book is for you. The embossed faux patterns featured here are sophisticated and complement many different types of modern and traditional rooms.
This was Olson’s first wallpaper book to ever been distributed by York. Its a classic and features everything you would expect from her, including a mix of faux textures, stripes, flocked florals, deep scrolls, contemporary damasks and vertical trees.
Her newest collection also happens to be her most popular! After having designed five previous books, she finally brought everything together in one setting that delights your senses and leaves you without words in astonishment. The designs are traditional in their nature with a distinct modern feel like you have never seen before. The Diva, Aristocrat Blue, Metallic Stardust, and Grey and Blue Modern Petals are legendary in their popularity among homeowners all over North America.
This is her second most popular collection and is much like Inspired Elegance but with a more traditional feeling. It features a lot of medallions, traditional damasks, grasscloths and geometric designs. (See Duo Blue and Silver Velocity)

The Golden Briefcase Wild only appears on reels 2-5 and it substitutes for regular symbols to help you complete combinations. Sometimes 3x multiplier is attached to the Wild symbol and then each win is increased by 3x for each Wild Multiplier involved in the combination.
To start this journey you need:
- Open Gold Megaways at your chosen casino
- Going into the paytable, look at the values of the symbols
- Read the bonus features rules
- Make a bet: from €0.05 to €20

Premium symbols are made of gold: watch, car, bank card, and ring. The low-paying symbols are playing card suits. The Gold Disc is the Scatter and the Gold Case with Bars is the Wild.

Alibaba files for IPO, creating questions for Yahoo and Silicon Valley
The long-awaited Alibaba IPO filing is finally here, with the company officially putting in papers to go public on the NYSE in what could be the largest U.S. Internet public offering ever.
The company gives the number it hopes to raise as $1 billion, but that's just a placeholder as it hasn't yet said how many shares it will sell or at what price. The actual amount could go much, much higher. Current estimates put the Chinese Internet giant's value at about $168 billion, making it the second-largest Internet company after Google Inc.
Looking at the financials, Alibaba is a huge company with more than $20 billion in revenue last year. What's more, it's growing at an absurd rate for such a large firm — that number represents a 72 percent increase over 2012 and a more than 400 percent increase since 2010.
But what does that mean to Silicon Valley? Despite being a Chinese company nominally headquartered in the Cayman Islands for tax purposes, Alibaba has deep, deep Silicon Valley roots. One of its largest stockholders is Yahoo Inc., which still owns roughly 24 percent of the company — even after a $7.6 billion stock sale in 2012. That sale was the fuel for a year-long acquisition spree by new CEO Marissa Mayer, which included the $1 billion purchase of Tumblr. So it's not hard to see how a successful Alibaba IPO could have big implications for Yahoo's strategy. Shares of Yahoo rose about 1 percent in after-hours trading. Earlier they fell 1.14 percent to $36.49.
Yet even beyond the obvious Yahoo connection, Alibaba's IPO has a more direct impact on Silicon Valley. The company's U.S. operations are based in Santa Clara. That office is small compared to the overall company — just about 400 people. But it's the tip of the spear as Alibaba eyes a U.S. expansion.

Death Valley, Clemson: For a fleeting moment Saturday afternoon, Georgia Tech had Clemson on their heels. After stopping a fake punt run by Aidan Swanson at the Tigers’ 25, the Yellow Jackets scored to take their first lead in the series since 2014. After that, the Tigers took the fuzz out of Buzz.
Clemson and Georgia Tech have played 41 consecutive games, and with no game on the future schedule, the Tigers will have bragging rights after a dominant 42-21 victory. With the win, the Tigers improved to 6-4 overall and 3-4 ACC and became bowl eligible. Georgia Tech dropped to 5-5 and 4-3.
Clemson’s had its second highest offensive output of the season with 465 total yards. Quarterback Cade Klubnik completed 23-of-34 passes for 205 yards and four touchdowns in just three-and-a-half quarters. Phil Mafah had 17 carries for 96 yards, while Shipley added 77 yards on 11 carries. Tyler Brown had seven receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown, and Beaux Collins had five catches for 65 yards and a score.
The Clemson defense tallied four interceptions, 11 tackles for loss and four sacks.
After a head-scratching fake punt inside their own 30 from Clemson, it took Georgia Tech just four plays to score and take a 7-0 lead.
Clemson answered by scoring the next 21 points. The Tigers converted two fourth downs on a record-setting nine-plus minute drive – their longest scoring drive in school history – that ended with a five-yard touchdown pass to Collins. Brown called his own shot on the next drive and one-handed the ball for a three-yard touchdown catch. Shipley – who missed last week in concussion protocol – took the ball 32 yards to the house for a 21-7 Clemson lead at intermission.
The Tigers punted on their first possession of the second half but found some rhythm on the second drive with a 7-play drive capped off by a five-yard pass to Jake Briningstool in the back of the endzone for a 28-7 lead with 7:05 to play in the third quarter.
Clemson added two fourth-quarter touchdowns – a 13-yard reception by tight end Josh Sapp and a 46-yard pick-six by Shelton Lewis for a 42-7 Tigers advantage.
The Yellow Jackets scored their first points of the second half at the 10:11 mark of the fourth quarter on a 32-yard catch and run by Dontae Smith to make it 42-14. They later added a touchdown after pass interference was called on Lewis on fourth down for the final margin.
Clemson hosts North Carolina next Saturday at 3:30 pm. It’s the last home game of the 2023 season, and the Tigers will celebrate Senior Day.


Hassan Nasrallah has always been more sophisticated than the caricatured nightmare featured in the breathless propaganda of Hezbollah’s many enemies. Even at his most noxious he usually managed to present himself as a man of principle. That’s why it was almost sad to see Nasrallah this week pandering like an old-time Arab despot to public anger over the misbegotten Prophet Mohammed YouTube clip.
“America, which uses the pretext of freedom of expression needs to understand that putting out the whole film will have very grave consequences around the world,” Nasrallah said at a Hezbollah rally on September 17, one of the exceedingly rare occasions on which he appeared in public since he went into hiding during the 2006 war between Israel and Lebanon. Though the message sounds militant, it was actually just a flailing attempt to catch up to developments elsewhere in the region. Hezbollah, which used to set the Arab world’s trends, now finds itself forced to opportunistically jump on the latest global Islamist bandwagon.
In fact, Hezbollah’s embrace of the controversy over the video marks a final stage of its speedy evolution from revolutionary militant resistance movement to Machiavellian establishment power center. Lebanon’s Party of God once literally threw bombs at those who stood in the way of its ideology, attacking powerful enemies like America and Israel as well as smaller rivals at home. Today, Hezbollah represents the very sort of power it used to oppose. It dominates Lebanese politics as the majority party, choosing the prime minister; it commands a formidable standing army; its complicity in domestic political assassinations no longer is credibly debated; and it remains comfortable with its deep, compromised embrace of Bashar Al-Assad’s criminal regime in Syria.
There’s no mystery here: Hezbollah has become essentially conservative, fearful of the status of its political interests and financial and military networks. The very fact that Nasrallah felt compelled to risk emerging from his underground safe haven suggests that he fears very seriously for his organization’s future. It’s a remarkable change for a movement that was once confident in its ideological rigor and in its ability to earn unparalleled popular support in the region.
IN THE FIRST two decades of Nasrallah’s stewardship, Lebanon’s Party of God transformed itself from a potent but small militant group, best known for spectacular terrorist attacks, into the driver of the Axis of Resistance, crafting a widely appealing message of nationalism and fearless self-reliance built on an uncompromising opposition to Israel and the United States. Just two years ago, Nasrallah was still crowing about an open war with Israel and was still reaping the political benefit of being seen as the sole Arab leader to stand up to the U.S. and Israel.
Today, of course, his critical patron in Syria is teetering, threatening to vastly curtail Hezbollah’s military power, and his source of money and weapons in Iran is distracted by sanctions, a feeble economy and its nuclear showdown with the West. More importantly, the Arab world is awash in genuine retail politics. Indeed, what ultimately broke Hezbollah’s monopoly on popular legitimacy—what ultimately put the Axis of Resistance to rest as a meaningful political or ideological bloc in the Middle East—were the Arab revolts.
Like any establishment power with too much to lose, Hezbollah has kept a distance from uprisings that empower competitors. Still, there is no denying that those rivals have risen throughout the region; fire-breathers and populists have taken position all along the political spectrum from the Islamist right to the secular-anarchist left.
In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood embraces many similar views to Hezbollah, without the call to violence and regional war. There are Salafi extremists running political parties, and there are secular nationalists who sound every bit as uncompromising as Hezbollah when it comes to Israel. To round out the picture, there are voices that oppose violence and endorse diplomacy and pluralistic electoral politics, again along all parts of the spectrum (although sadly, they form a minority). Even Hamas, one of the four pillars of the Axis, has quietly quit its alliance with Syria (and its reliance on Iranian money), gambling that a dignified and principled stand against Bashar Al-Assad will pay handsome long-term dividends in popularity and legitimacy.
Hezbollah, however, calculated that it had no such option. The Assad regime has long allowed Syria to serve as Hezbollah’s rear staging area. Weapons transit through the Damascus airport to Hezbollah training camps and depots. In times of war, trucks can ferry all manner of material into Lebanon from safe havens in Syria. Without Syria, Hezbollah could find itself isolated in the tiny confines of Lebanon, where about half the population detests Hezbollah and its project. For now, Hezbollah’s hard power is undiminished, but the future doesn’t look so secure for the Party of God.
And so, backed into a corner, Hezbollah has responded to the radical transformation of Arab politics much like American policy makers, improvising on an ad hoc basis. Hezbollah has doubled down on its anti-Israel and anti-American credentials, but has abandoned the more inclusive nationalistic part of its resistance credo that arguably propelled its meteoric rise and sustained power. Nasrallah used to unabashedly endorse any populist Arab movement that opposed dictatorship at home or Western ambitions abroad. Now, Hezbollah seems to pick and choose the occasions when justice matters: Yes for the Shia of Bahrain, less so for the citizens of Egypt, and not so much for the Sunnis of Syria. When Israel was occupying southern Lebanon or bombing its villages, and U.S.-backed tyrants were oppressing much of the region, the sense of a powerful, monolithic enemy united support behind Hezbollah. The new reality is patently more complex, with none of the old bugbears solely to blame for the Arab world’s woes. Without a villain, Hezbollah’s fundamental recipe for power and legitimacy loses its yeast.
Of course, Hezbollah has never become explicitly or exclusively sectarian. It has managed to maintain a tight, six-year alliance with Lebanon’s largest Christian party, Michael Aoun’s Free Patriotic Movement. But this has never been an especially durable strategy. The contradictions are profound and irreconcilable. To some, Hezbollah is a pan-Arab guerilla front against Israel. To some it is a dogmatic Shia religious movement that sincerely embraces Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s theocratic theology. And to some, it is a shrewd and pragmatic political actor that knows how to make the trains run on time. Yet, it cannot be all of these things at once.
Hezbollah has never been free of such tensions and Nasrallah has always managed to masterfully hold the movement together despite them. As the disconnect has grown wider, however, the false narrative that Hezbollah uses to bridge the gap has grown ever more tenuous. It’s getting harder for even Hezbollah’s most committed supported to believe that Syria’s uprising is a foreign, American-backed plot to massacre innocents, create sectarian strife, and impose Israeli hegemony over the Levant. As the civil war next door spills ever more toxically across the border into Lebanon, claiming lives in Hezbollah’s neighborhoods, it has become impossible to maintain the charade of denial. As the nature of the Syrian regime’s brutality (and the cynicism with which Nasrallah has blessed it) begins to sink in, Hezbollah risks ending up looking more and more like a Shia sectarian movement, just another player in a polarized regional struggle.
If history is any guide, of course, Hezbollah will be nimble and adaptive, and use any circumstances possible to turn a bleak outlook to its advantage. Some holes, however, are too deep to climb out of. The fall of the House of Assad might be one of them. And, judging from his flailing, Nasrallah himself seems to know it.

It is fitting to open our issue with a reflective essay from our colleague, Craig Kridel, as he reflects on the role of biography in his career. Kridel retired recently from his role as faculty and curator of the museum of education at the University of South Carolina. He continues to pursue historical work with attention to the methodological complexity of the craft of life writing, most recently through the publication, Becoming an African American Progressive Educator: Narratives from 1940s Black Progressive High Schools (2018), and Progressive Education in Black High Schools of the 1940s (2015). Kridel's remarks will resonate with many life studies scholars, "perhaps I have most enjoyed the thrill of discovery and the archival chase and have delighted in witnessing others who are engaged in the high adventure of this work."
Our next essay engaging in such adventures is written by educational historian Jackie M. Blount, who is working on a biography of Ella Flagg Young (1845-1918), the formidable Chicago educator who, among her accomplishments, became the first female superintendent of a major school system in the United States. In her reflective piece, Blount describes grappling with the "manifold difficulty" of scraping and digging for information to fill in the "archival chasm" that surrounds Young's private life, one that speaks from its very absences. Through Blount's compelling--and personal--historiographical journey, she has also uncovered key linkages between Young's accomplishments and major movements in educational history.
The adventures continue with Kate Rousmaneire's reflective essay, "The Image of a Political Life," that springs from a photograph taken of a man 40 years ago that marked a key moment in her life history. It was a moment of political awakening, one that "immediately radicalized her." Rousmaniere has written a variety of educational histories and biographies, including The Principal's Office: A Social History of the American School Principal (2013), and Citizen Teacher: The Life and Leadership of Margaret Haley (2005). In this piece, she embraces memories, fragments, and objects as entangled resources that inform the tapestry of human lives--in this case, strands of her own.
In Roy Tamashiro's essay, "Educational Biography: Pilgrimage into What it Means to be Human," he shares an essay developed from his 2019 address as President of the International Society of Educational Biography. Tamashiro reflects on his experiences undertaking peace pilgrimages to sites of human atrocity around the world. He considers these journeys as essential to bearing witness and developing "witness-consciousness" in exploring what it means to be human. He also considers life narratives as one form of pilgrimage--as a journey--that invites both external and interior movement in such explorations.
In "ALL Cultures Matter," Charles Lamont Hight and Chara Haeussler Bohan of Georgia State University trace Rachel Davis DuBois' (1892-1993) work to establish intercultural education in the United States during the 1920s-1940s. DuBois' work to promote "equality," "understanding," and "mutual respect" through dialogue across ethnic and racial lines was the foundation for what developed into "multicultural education" later in the century. The authors extend existing knowledge of DuBois' professional life by detailing her early contributions, advocacy and service work, and innovative pedagogical practices in the Woodbury Project as a teacher in New Jersey and the Intercultural Education Movement.
We turn to visual narrative biography in Brittany Harker Martin and Anita Sinner's "duoethnographic experiment," "Techno-Bio-Poetica: Reweaving the Posted Poetics of Academic Travel." The piece highlights both the absences and presences shaping curated visual "selfie" culture, and their implications, through visuals of the authors' academic travel. This trajectory of visual work points to broader turns in life writing that our journal is embracing as it expands beyond conventional texts to explore the performance of lives as they are articulated and created within the affordances of contemporary digital platforms in networked cultures. (2)
The final piece in this issue is Nancy Bell's rich book review focusing on Kay Whitehead's history of the educator and theorist, Lillian de Lissa (1885-1967). Whitehead's book explores de Lissa's professional biography as a progressive educator while also shedding light on her transnational networks and institutional and educational reform.

SULLIVAN — For 41 years, performances at the Farmstead Barn in Sullivan entertained generations of children.
Owned by Ginia Davis Wexler, who passed away in 2017, the Farmstead Barn closed its doors in 2012. Now it has some new owners who say they want to restore the space.
“We have some ideas for what we’d like to do,” said Judy Ashby, who along with her husband, Ray Weintraub, bought the property in October. “My husband would like to take the theater and make it into a place that could be used for events or weddings.
“We’d like to bring back the community, the importance that it had around here.”
Ashby and Weintraub, who currently live in New York, first found the property last summer, and they began to learn a bit about the Farmstead Barn’s history.
“Ginia Wexler seems like she was such a fascinating person, and it’s been an exciting project to uncover the history around here,” Ashby said. “It has such a creative energy around it; it just feels like it’s filled with stories and inspiration, like it just wants to be alive again.”
From puppeteers, jugglers, musicians and even a Maine state yo-yo champion, the Farmstead Barn served as a performing arts venue that offered free entertainment for local children. Wexler herself was a tireless supporter of the arts who would teach art lessons at the barn and attend Wednesday night concerts at the Pierre Monteux School in Hancock, founded by her eponymous uncle.
Ashby and Weintraub, who have been up to visit Sullivan this winter, plan to move there permanently in the spring.
“We met some of our neighbors and it was such a warm and welcoming feeling. It just confirmed that it was the right choice,” Ashby said. “We’ve connected with the new owners of the Dunbar’s Store. It’s been fun to see that there’s this new growth in the area that is also honoring the past.”

Holly Madison Has Ulterior Motive to Marry So Quickly?
Description:Holly Madison is set to tie the knot this weekend at Disneyland. She and her fiance have been together for a while and they just welcomed a baby, so it's no surprise they are getting married. However, the timing is raising some eyebrows.(1:28)


Michael Gartenberg was right! Context is almost ALL that matters since data without context is irrelevant noise.
Imagine a person running down the street screaming “8! 8! 8!” without the context of “number of Olympic Gold Medals.” We probably could not understand the significance of this outburst and that it relates to Michael Phelp’s accomplishment from the 2008 games. It could just as easily refer to someone’s winning lotto number or Chinese good luck. Context is what adds dimension and meaning to raw data. In software, usability and adoption rate of new features is largely governed by the quality of the context given to users—see graphic (courtesy of Kathy Sierra).
Let’s take decision-support software as an illustrative example. There are two users of this software—the person configuring the dashboards and metrics (the ADMIN) and the person using these dashboards to make operating decisions about the equipment or plant (the CONSUMER).
The time between newbie and expert at software configuration for the ADMIN is determined by the continuity of context. Leading a person from “clueless” to “competent” to “wizard” is always about exposing and teaching incremental features and capabilities without increasing the user’s frustration level every step along the way. People’s passion for new capabilities is inversely proportional to how pissed off they are with the implementation details.
Similarly, the CONSUMER of the software is driven by a similar curve. If the ADMIN configuring the software has done a good job, then the CONSUMER of this software will be incrementally exposed to layers of nuance in the data, which helps him or her make decisions faster and with more confidence. Boyd’s OODA loops are the way in which all decision-support software should be judged. The users “Observes the data, Orient themselves with context, Decide what to do, and then Act to bring about the necessary change to the environment.
Until the advent of smartphones with broadband internet access, it was absurd to think of OODA loops and context delivery for anyone but desktop software consumers. Windows Mobile, the iPhone, Google’s Android and Palm’s new Pre all make it possible to create a desktop-like decision-making environment on a mobile device. A decision-makers location has been rendered irrelevant, as the complete context for any decision is now available wherever they are, making today’s agile workforce capable of market and demand-driven responses only available in the dreams of our forefathers.
Delivering the contextual information users need, when they need it, is what’s critical — not any particular application or service.
Context contradicts conventional wisdom. For one thing, feeds and speeds are no longer the defining metrics for value. The fastest and most powerful laptop won’t do much for a user on the road if it weighs 10 pounds and gets barely an hour of battery life — or can’t open in a coach seat on a plane. By contrast, the ability to check email, browse the web or listen to music doesn’t matter if your phone won’t make a call when you need it to. Smart vendors will learn technology applied to context for users is what matters — especially since I think there’s an upper limit on the number of devices most people will carry with them at any given time. As I’ve said in the past, for most of us that’s two, with a maximum of three. The jury is out on whether the iPad could change that.
It’s time to be liberated and connected. The dream is real — now it’s time to see more devices execute and deliver the vision. Onward and upward (in context, of course)!

Completely different car to mine, but my own experiments show that 10PSI delivers a lot more sustained boost, compared to the original actuator. Strangely enough though is the fact that adding a MBC at the same time made my car run far smoother than before.I don't know why that is, but is sure was a welcome surprise.
I do know someone who has a 2.3L turbo 9000 (dunno which model )with a 12PSI actuator. His turbo gauge now goes past the red
My ECU has been upgraded. I had to call Abbott, who remapped the ECU for me, to first make sure that I would be OK with the remapped ECU.
Unless someone else comes up with another idea, there is no harm in asking [email protected] Racing. He has been very helpful to me every time I needed some sound advice. It helps of course that I do a lot of my shopping there . The 3 parts I fitted last Saturday all came from Abbott.


GUWAHATI: As a first, the State Government will conduct a Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) under the guidance of the NDMA (National Disaster Management Authority), Ministry of Home Affairs. Under this assessment, the ASDMA (Assam State Disaster Management Authority) will survey the damage to public property caused by floods this year.
Apart from private property, floods this year damaged public property, including school buildings, roads, bridges, embankments etc. The State Government took a policy decision to assess the post-disaster needs assessment. Such assessment data will be handy ingredients for plans and estimates of schemes.
According to ASDMA sources, an NDMA team will come to the state in September this year and train ASDMA personnel on how to conduct PDNA. After the training, ASDMA and NDMA personnel will conduct joint field visits to assess the infrastructure damaged by floods this year and prepare a report. Government officials will accompany the disaster management personnel during the PDNA. They will submit the report to the government.
People in this year's floods witnessed many a new measure taken by the government. Breaking the tradition of inter-ministerial teams from the Centre visiting the state for damage assessment after floods, inter-ministerial teams from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) visited the state twice during floods this year to assess the damage.
For the first time, the State Government paid Rs 72 crore to the flood-affected families to buy utensils and clothes and Rs 119 crore for damaged houses.

- STAY SHARP! World music fusion act Beats Antique is one of 16 bands playing this weekend's Whale Rock Music and Arts Festival on Sept. 14 to 15, at Castoro Cellars.
You're in for a hot time in Templeton this weekend during the Whale Rock Music and Arts Festival on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 14 and 15, at Castoro Cellars Vineyards and Winery, and I'm not just talking about its awesome lineup of music. It's supposed to be 98 degrees on Saturday and a relatively cool 88 on Sunday!
Bring a hat, sunscreen, and spray mister for the daytime and something warmer for the evenings (it'll drop into the 50s) because you're not going to want to miss headliners like reggae and soul great Toots and the Maytals closing out Saturday and world fusion act Beats Antique closing Sunday.
When you're not getting down to other acts such as Aussie singer-songwriter Xavier Rudd, R&B and soul group the California Honeydrops, ripping bluegrass quintet The Lil Smokies, soul pop ensemble Lawrence, soul rocker Ben Morrison of the Brothers Comatose, the harmony Americana vocal trio T Sisters, blue-eyed soul quartet Próxima Parada, upbeat rockers Swatkins and the Positive Agenda, acid-rock-fusion-jazz-Americana collective Joe Craven and the Sometimers, local super group (featuring the dudes from Bear Market Riot) the Whale Rock Allstars, horn-driven party band Brass Mash, singer-songwriter Dante Marsh, country swing act the Carolyn Sills Combo, and Afro-Brazilian group Samba Loca, you can take yoga classes, drink some of Castoro's tasty wines, eat some great food, or have fun with the kiddies (who, if 12 or under, get in free), in the kid area that has a music petting zoo, face painting, games, tie-dye, and more!
Visit whalerockmusicfestival.com for tickets ($85 for a day ticket or $130 for both days), a schedule of events, and more info.

Think of Sacha Carlson as a renaissance man. He's an actor, a dancer, and a musician and singer. The SLO local appeared as Scut Farkus in the live TV movie A Christmas Story in 2017, and last year he played Andrew on the TV series American Housewife. He's repped by The Savage Agency and Monster Talent, and he's a New Times Music Award winner.

- HE'LL ROCK YOU Local actor, dancer, musician, and singer Sacha Carlson releases his new EP Forever Young Fever at Boo Boo Records on Sept. 12.
This Thursday, Sept. 12, he'll be at Boo Boo Records (6 p.m.; all ages; free) for a CD release party of his new seven-song EP Forever Young Fever, which features Carlson playing guitar and singing lead vocals, with Justin Pecot on bass, keyboard, and backing vocals, and Wyatt Lund or Paul Deppepella on drums.
Carlson's album opens with the barnburner "Dangerous Woman," a hard rocker with ripping wall-of-sound guitars. It's got a cool Alice Cooper vibe!
"Life's too short to be slowly dying/ 'It's too hard,' she's always crying/ We're gonna rock all night/ We're gonna be dying/ If I told you I was gone, well, honey I'd be lying," Carlson growls on "Rock n' Roll Til' the Break of Dawn."
My favorite song of the EP is the closer, "Lady Liberty," when Carlson slows things down and turns up his Michael Franti vibe. He also delivers a really great guitar solo.
This is fun youthful rock 'n' roll! He's got guitar chops, an edgy rock voice, and charisma to burn. Check him out!
Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents have a fully packed lineup this week starting with one of my favorite live performers, guit-steel guitar wiz Junior Brown, who plays this Thursday, Sept. 12, at The Siren (7 p.m.; all ages; $25 presale at Boo Boo's and ticketfly.com or $30 at the door).

He was inspired by Robert Earl Keen: "He was a big changing point in my life," Bowen said in press materials. "I realized by listening to him that there was way more out there than I ever knew. So I started getting into Guy Clark and other great Texas music. But I was obsessed with Robert Earl. When we started the band, we were sort of a Robert Earl cover band." Dalton Domino opens.
Amazing L.A.-based Latin hip-hop and rock act Ozomatli plays Presqu'ile Winery on Saturday, Sept. 14 (doors at 6 p.m.; all ages; $30 presale at Boo Boo's and ticketfly.com or $35 at the door). This genre-jumping act brings the party!

- MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST GENRE-JUMPER The amazing Tony Furtado returns to Painted Sky Studios on Sept. 16.
The Painted Sky Concert Series presents the Tony Furtado Trio this Monday, Sept. 16 (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $22 at Boo Boo Records, Ball & Skein, or by calling (805) 927-8330).

I said yes, and it was one of the very best concerts we've ever put on. Furtado, the acclaimed and award-winning singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, is an acknowledged master of many different styles and sounds. Relix magazine put it best when writing of Tony's music, 'True talent doesn't need categories.' From bluegrass to blues, from folk to rock, from banjo to slide guitar, the music of Tony Furtado knows no boundaries. Tony will be joined by a two-time National Old-Time Fiddling Grand Champion Luke Price and Keith Brush on acoustic bass. Friends, this will a very special evening."
Americana singer-songwriter Stoll Vaughan plays Puffers of Pismo this Wednesday, Sept. 18. The Kentucky-born singer-songwriter is touring in support of The Conversation, co-produced by Mike Wanchic (John Mellencamp) and Carl Broemel (My Morning Jacket). "I'm too country for folk, and I'm too folk for country," Vaughan explained in press materials. "When it was time for me to get back to the process of writing songs for myself, I thought maybe I should reconsider everything. I'd been in music. I could write songs for other people, but I had lost a sense of what I would like to say. I was left feeling distant, and that distance made me look inward. The album's title signifies being in a continual conversation regarding people, God, and the fears we carry around, and how music interplays with everything emotionally and spiritually." Δ
