‘Strange Fruit’ uses the art of cartoon to share history
The history books you had in school almost put you to sleep. They were filled with dates, stats, dead people and towns that aren’t even around anymore. Who really cares about that stuff, anyway?
Author Joel Christian Gill’s new book “Strange Fruit” provides a more appealing way for readers to learn about that which has made their lives easier. His book teaches readers about people that history books have mostly forgotten.
Shortly after grad school, Gill did a series of paintings that he says freed him from the racism that his father and grandfather endured. But he felt something was missing: he was coming up short in terms of storytelling.
That’s when he started doing comics, telling stories of “obscure Black history.”
One example is the story of Richard Potter, who was born around 1783. After his father ensured his education, Potter spent many years traveling and he became fascinated with magic tricks. He tried, practiced, learned, and tried again until he mastered several tricks and invented some of his own – which eventually made him very wealthy. On his deathbed in 1835, he finally admitted something important: Potter, America ’s first stage magician, was a Black man.
Readers will also learn the story of Theophilus Thompson. After his emancipation, he worked as a janitor. One night, he noticed that his employer had a game set up on a table, and Thompson studied it. He figured out how the strange game worked, and it didn’t take long before he was playing competition chess – and winning. He even wrote a book about it, but one day he vanished. Rumors swirled around his disappearance, but Thompson was never seen again.
In this book, you’ll learn about the Black Cyclone who started his biking career due to a great kindness from family and later, lay in an unmarked grave for more than 70 years.
You’ll read two letters from a man determined to save his daughter from slavery.
You’ll learn about the baddest U.S. Marshall that ever lived that even jailed his own son. And you’ll read the sad, sad story of the Malagites who lost their home off the coast of Massachusetts a mere century ago.
Are you always on your child to read something, anything, except a comic book? It’s time to make an exception: “Strange Fruit” is a graphic novel, and you’ll want them to read it.
Through the art of the cartoon, author Joel Christian Gill tells nine stories of African Americans who did astounding things for the time in which they lived, thereby making differences that resonate today.
These fascinating tales are somewhat marred by weird mini-vocabulary lessons, but those stop early on in the book as the tales progressively get more meaningful.
Ultimately, I liked this book because I think it speaks to kids who want their learning more on the arty side. There’s really no reason that an adult can’t enjoy this book, but it’s geared towards 12 to 17 year olds.
For teens that don’t know enough about history, “Strange Fruit” will wake them up.

Sadie Robertson recently made an announcement that will help people less fortunate than most.
She took to Instagram to reveal that she will be launching a rain boot line with Roma, “a socially conscious buy-one-get-one boot company that combines fashion with philanthropy to help impoverished children around the world.“
The line, which comes out in Fall 2015, will donate a pair of rain boots to a child in need for every pair bought. The boots will also be filled with school supplies. The Duck Dynasty star says she feels “honored to to be apart of a great way to give back.“
Not only are the boots so unique and cute, they are also being used to “Give Poverty The Boot,” which exactly what the campaign is called! We love how Sadie is using her fame to help the less fortunate. It really shows how big her heart is!
What do y’all think of Sadie’s new business venture?! Let us know in the comments!

Did You Know?
By Rabbi Fabian Werbin
That Shabbat is the seventh day of the week is a fact we all know. That Shabbat is different from the other days of the week we all know… That we rest on Shabbat to emulate G-d’s attitude during creation we all know… That Shabbat is the day we are not supposed to work is something we all know…
What is probably not very well known is that the Talmud and other sources tell us about a special river that rested on Shabbat. Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you… You read right… A river that rested on Shabbat…
There are at least two different legends that tell that this river stopped flowing on Shabbat:
- “The River Sambation proves it [the superiority of Saturday] because during the week-days it runs and causes stones to drift, but on Saturday it ceases to flow.” (Sanhedrin 65B)
- At the fall of night a cloud descended and enveloped the Sons of Moses and all who belonged to them. They were hidden from their enemies, while their own way was illuminated by a pillar of fire. The cloud and the pillar vanished at break of day, and before the Sons of Moses lay a tract of land bordered by the sea on three sides. For their complete protection G-d made the river Sambation to flow on the fourth side. This river is full of sand and stones, and on the six working days of the week, they tumble over each other with such vehemence that the crash and the roar are heard far and wide. But on the Sabbath the tumultuous river subsides into quiet. As a guard against trespassers on that day, a column of cloud stretches along the whole length of the river, and none can approach the Sambation within three miles. (Legends of the Jews, Page 317)
There are differing opinions about the people which the river surrounds and the location of the river. We read that the river surrounded the Israelites when they were in the wilderness but another source says that Sambation was the river beyond which the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel were exiled by the Assyrian king Shalmaneser V. “The tribes of Judah and Benjamin were not exiled to the same place as the ten tribes; for the latter were transported beyond the River Sambation,” (Gen. Rabah. 73.). Regarding to the location of the river, Nachmanides identifies it with the Gozan of the Bible. Others say the river is located in Ethiopia while others say it is in India or near Bagdad. Never mind… We don’t know exactly where it is, we don’t know exactly which people it surrounded but at least we learned about another source that teaches us to rest on Shabbat.

Here’s one way our President proposes to “support our troops”: According to his 2005 budget, the extra pay our soldiers receive for serving in combat zones–about $150 a month–will no longer count against their food stamp eligibility. This budget provision, if approved, should bring true peace of mind to our men and women on the front lines. From now on, they can dodge bullets in
Military families on food stamps? It’s not an urban myth. About 25,000 families of servicemen and women are eligible, and this may be an underestimate, since the most recent Defense Department report on the financial condition of the armed forces–from 1999–found that 40 percent of lower-ranking soldiers face “substantial financial difficulties.” Senator Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, reports hearing from constituents that the Army now includes applications for food stamps in its orientation packet for new recruits.
The poverty of the mightiest military machine on Earth is no secret to the many charities that have sprung up to help families on U.S. military bases, like the church-based Feed the Children, which delivers free food and personal items to families at twelve bases. Before 9/11, trucks bearing free food from a variety of food pantries used to be able to drive right on to the bases. Now they have to stop outside the gates, making the spectacle of military poverty visible to any passerby.
Market forces ensure that a volunteer army will necessarily be an army of the poor. The trouble is, enlistment does not do a whole lot to brighten one’s economic outlook. Frontline battle troops, most of whom have been in the military for about a year, earn less than $16,000 a year–which puts them at about the level of theater ushers and Wal-Mart clerks. Even second lieutenants, at a starting salary of $26,000 a year, earn less than pest control workers and shoe repairers. So when the Bush Administration, in its frenzied rush to transfer more wealth to the already wealthy, hurts the working poor, you can count the troops among them. The 2003 Bush tax cut for the rich, for example, failed to extend a child tax credit to nearly 200,000 military personnel.
Well, they get all kinds of special benefits, don’t they, like free housing and medical care? Yes, and that’s a powerful attraction to the young men and women of
You might imagine that our “war President,” as he styles himself, would be in a rush to enrich the frontline troops, but last August his Administration proposed to cut the combat pay bonus of $150 a month. Somebody must have pointed out that an election year was just around the corner, because this little trial balloon was quietly punctured. In fact, the 2005 budget offers to double the military death benefit received by families of the fallen from $6,000 to $12,000.
Sounds good. In fact, it may make death financially preferable to surviving in a damaged state. Bizarrely enough, veterans’ disability benefits are deducted from their military retirement pay, giving the wounded a powerful incentive to die while they’re young. The sorry condition of VA health services seems designed to accomplish the same thing, and those services are about to get a lot more inaccessible. In his 2005 budget, Bush proposes to raise veterans’ health care costs–through increased drug co-payments and a new “enrollment fee”–thus driving an estimated 200,000 vets out of the system and discouraging another million from enrolling.
In the interests of maintaining a calm and dispassionate tone here, let’s not talk about the morality of sending the poor to distant countries to die for undisclosed reasons while nickel-and-diming them every inch of the way. It will suffice to point out what a peculiar historical anomaly Bush’s warfare state represents. Ever since the introduction of mass armies in
In this country, for example, the Civil War led to the institution of widows’ benefits, which were the predecessor of welfare in its Aid to Families with Dependent Children form. The German leader Bismarck, who was under pressure from socialists as well as the exigencies of war, instituted national health insurance. In the
This has been the way of the world: If you want the working class to die for you, then you have to give it something in return.
So what is the Bush Administration thinking? Maybe those turkeys Bush passed out to the troops at Thanksgiving were supposed to substitute for decent military pay and veterans’ benefits.
Or maybe the Administration is counting on more photo ops of the President in his flight jacket to soothe the underfed military families.
Or possibly the proposed new immigration plan, which would bring Mexicans in to work at substandard wages, could be used to restock the U.S. military with bracero-soldiers to whom $16,000 a year and a $12,000 death benefit will look like a major fortune. If the citizens get too demanding, you can always resort to an army of foreign mercenaries.
Or maybe the Bush Administration isn’t thinking at all, and will be stunned when the endless refrain of “support our troops” turns around, in November, and bites it.

Thrill seekers all around the world dream of the day when they can go skydiving and sea diving. By definition, both of these are categorized as recreational sports. However, those who have been brave enough try out either one of them know that there is a lot more than simply recreation involved with these two. If anything, they should be called adventure sports purely for the insane adrenaline rush that people get from them.
Keeping aside the crazy thrill seekers, there are those who are less keen on seemingly putting their bodies on the line by going skydiving or sea diving. The fear is real indeed. Who wouldn’t be afraid to be flung out of an airplane soaring thousands of metres in the sky or dive deep into the mysterious realms of the ocean? Perhaps the best way of taming this fear of the unknown is by getting to know more about the experiences of people who have skydived or gone sea diving in the past. A lot is to be learned from their experiences. Once you have knowledge of what it feels like to do either one of them, you’ll be in a better position to embrace the challenge.
The sheer joy and ecstasy of those who have tried these before will tempt you to take the leap of faith (quite literally).
If you want to skydive, you can’t simply jump out of a commercial plane. That will be suicidal and somewhat hilarious. There are plenty of professional skydivers who offer skydiving services. Subscribe to one of them and the next thing you know you’ll be in a plane with a bunch of strangers who are all willing to jump 15,000 ft into the thin air. Don’t be worried about the height. Once you cross the 2,000 ft mark, your brain is incapable of processing the distance, as in everything looks the same. Remarkably, this makes it easier for people to jump out of the plane.
It’ll take about 20 minutes of waiting for you to have your turn. You’ll be instructed to sit on your jumper’s lap (kind of awkward), who will then proceed to strap himself or herself firmly to your body. The important thing for first time skydivers is to trust the jumper. They are trained professionals who know very well how to execute the jump perfectly and use the parachute at the right time.
Try to drain out the anxiety and the tension before you take the jump. The idea is to enjoy the 15,000 ft free fall instead of keeping your eyes closed and missing out on the thrill. Focus on controlling your limbs and your breathing. You can then open your eyes and look at the world like you have never seen it before.
Sea diving or scuba diving as it is more commonly known, is a tad bit more difficult than skydiving. You are required to attain a certain degree of training before immersing yourself in the sea. Much like skydiving, there are various professional scuba divers who are more than willing to offer scuba course to you. These courses are usually taught in baby steps. In these courses, you are made to learn how the diving gear works. They will also guide you on how to familiarize with the underwater environment. Lastly, you will be given a set of safety techniques that will help you to navigate the serene waters of the sea without facing any serious problems.
One of the most beautiful things about sea diving or scuba diving is how your senses deceive you. Did you know that breathing can be extremely noisy underwater? Also, your vision underwater can be somewhat compromised mainly because of the scuba masks. With that being said, the sensation of weightlessness and the freedom of movement that you can enjoy underwater is truly priceless. There are very few activities in the world that are as relaxing as scuba diving.
The next time you’re on a vacation, you may want to take some time off the shopping malls and the amusements parks, and have it reserved for the unearthly experiences of scuba diving and skydiving!

Brownian technology path
The term Brownian technology path will be used on this site to describe the branch of advancement to an AP nanotechnology (beyond simple self assembly) that does exploit thermal movement (Brownian motion) like biological nanomachinery does instead of avoiding it and turning to machine phase like the mechanosynthetic branch does APM.
Thechnology of the brownian path utilize borrowed thermal energy to archive an action (e.g. material transport). It will develop parallel to the mechanosynthetic technology levels I to III and may interact with them in unexpected and yet unpredictable ways.
Like in the mechanosynthetic branch a switch from more scientific to more engineering treatment is probable to occur. keeping useful principles salvaged from biological systems and ditching evolutionary remnants that hinder orthogonal design .... [Todo: add link]
Beside polypeptides artificial materials that biological systems cant easily break down can and will be used like (foldamers, peptoids).
Due to it's nature brownian-technology is often limited to a narrow temperature range. The solvent's liquid range must not be out-stepped. Flexible 1D molecular chains or 2D sheets are generally more susceptible to thermal breakage than 3D crystals where multiple bonds would have to break simultaneously. If inventions of this technology path find use in technology level III they may severely limit the range of allowed operation temperature. See: "consistent design for external limiting factors".

Since 1 July, Cathay Pacific has suspended flights from Hong Kong to the UK.
According to Cathay Pacific, the Hong Kong government has classed the UK as extremely high risk so passengers flying in from the UK to Hong Kong will not be permitted into the country: stating that ‘‘passengers who have travelled for more than two hours in the past 21 days will be denied entry into Hong Kong.’’
Cathay Pacific’s Caution
This is not the first time Cathay Pacific has imposed travel restrictions. Back in December 2020 – January 2021 and again in April, travel between the UK and HK had been disrupted because of the pandemic. For now, Cathay Pacific has cancelled any Heathrow to Hong Kong connections. Indeed, airlines such as British Airways have stated that schedules are subject to change because of the coronavirus so it is advised that passengers check timetables before making any bookings.
Travel Restrictions on the Whole
Restrictions may have well been eased given the many discussions on the recovery of the travel market, for instance, this occurred during the G7 summit where talks between the UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, and U.S President, Joe Biden spoke about improving transatlantic connections. Indeed this was also evident during the first virtual Arabia Travel Market since the pandemic whereby countries such as China, Egypt and Dubai spoke of their ambitions to improve their businesses in the near future.
But with the coronavirus still at loom, it seems that caution and careful planning is the way forward for many airports, airlines and staff – as we see with British Airways and Cathay Pacific.
What do you think of travel restrictions for travel on the whole? Let us know in the comments below!


Dave Chisnall was knocked out of the PDC World Darts Championship after a 5-1 loss to Luke Humphries.
The number 11 seed from Morecambe struggled to find his groove and missed several chances as Humphries eased into a semi-final clash with Scott Williams.
Humphries started quickly in Monday night's quarter-final, winning the first set 3-1 as Chizzy looked out of sorts. But taking advantage of a reprieve when his opponent missed doubles in the first leg to break the throw, Dave levelled by pinching the second set 3-2 on double 2.
A scrappy third set went to Humphries with a clinching 12 dart leg after Chizzy missed two opportunities at double 12 to break the throw in the previous leg. But Chisnall came roaring back in set four, producing his best darts to that point to quickly go two legs up, before allowing the pre-tournament favourite back in with a wild miss on double top. 'Cool Hand Luke' took full advantage after Dave missed another set dart at tops, picking Chizzy's pocket to go 3-1 up in sets.
Both players improved in set five, peppering the treble 20 as Chisnall upped his three-dart average to more than 113. Both men missed doubles in the fourth leg, Chisnall edging it, but then Humphries snatched the decider with his 11th maximum and a brilliant 121 finish to go 4-1 up.
Dave then missed another double at the start of set six, Humphries duly checked out, won the second leg with another 180, then reached his first world semi-final with a clinical 117.
Chizzy, who has never been beyond the semis at the PDC World Championship, had reached this year's quarter-finals with wins over Cameron Menzies, Gabriel Clemens and Daryl Gurney.
Earlier, unseeded Williams had shocked three times world champion Michael van Gerwen with a 5-3 win.
In the other semi-final, 16-year-old sensation Luke Littler will play Rob Cross, who stormed back from 4-0 down to shock Chris Dobey 5-4.

There are many studies out there touting the benefits of yoga, from increasing flexibility and strength, to helping with more debilitating conditions like chronic headaches and pain. More and more children are practicing yoga, and researchers are just beginning to understand how kids can benefit from the ancient discipline.
West Hartford's Webster Hill Elementary School is one of a growing number of schools that offers a weekly yoga class for students, parents and teachers before school.
Sunlight crept into the gym on a chilly winter morning. It was 8:05 am, and about 20 children and a few parents were practicing their sitting poses.
The thing I noticed right away is the quiet: no chatter; no laughter; no fidgeting; just the sound of soothing new age music, and the voice of gym teacher and yoga instructor Eileen Sheverdian.
Margo Cray is a regular at Wednesday morning yoga along with her granddaughter. "I love to spend time with my granddaughter," she said. "What a wonderful way to start the day. She loves the yoga class, and is disappointed the few weeks that I can't do it. She is the typical overly-responsible first child, so I do see her hustling off to class. But I do think it puts her in a different perspective."
Sheverdian, who started the morning yoga program in 2009, is always amazed at how the children respond to the ancient practice. "I notice those students for whom being still is a challenge," she said. "All of a sudden, they get it. It's not such a challenge. I see them concentrated for 30 minutes. That's hard. We don't talk in yoga very much -- they follow me, they go slow. Slow is hard for kids to do."
Sheverdian said her goal is to give children the full yoga experience in a condensed half hour. "I try to have a little something new each time," she said. "[and develop] a lot of familiarity, so they get used to the poses. That's confidence building. I have lots of kids who don't stretch very much, as adults don't do either. So to take a little more time in the day to stretch those muscles out, to lubricate the body a little bit, that's hugely beneficial."
Those benefits are starting to be quantified by a few researchers. One of them is Keri Hainsworth, Ph.D., an associate professor of anesthesiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. She has conducted studies on the effects of yoga on children who suffer from chronic headaches, and children who are obese, specifically if a regimen of yoga could improve their strength and flexibility.
"When it comes to obesity," Hainsworth said, "we're interested in -- for those kids who have obesity but also pain -- how much of that is affecting their ability to function physically, and emotionally, and socially, and so on."
The results in all of four of Hainsworth's studies are encouraging. Yoga helped manage chronic headaches, and improved the flexibility and strength of obese children. The big take-away for Hainsworth was how the children who participated in these studies felt after practicing yoga for just a few weeks.
"I think the kids feel better about themselves," Hainsworth said. "I think they feel happier. I think they feel physically better, which I think in turn releases emotions, and what we've seen across all of our studies is a significant drop in anxiety."
Back in the gym at Webster Hill, the children lay flat on their yoga mats, eyes closed, relaxing. In just a few minutes the bell would ring, and they would join the noisy chaos out in the hallway. But there is growing evidence that the half-hour they spend quietly practicing yoga may set them on a path to a happier, more productive day at school.

Four Ways to Protect Your Children from Cancer
Today an estimated 700,000 people in the US are suffering from a primary brain tumor of which 69.1% are benign and 30.19%are malignant. Of these 28,000 children 0-19 years old are estimated to have a brain tumor. This is according to the Natural Brain Tumor Society (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Brain_Tumor_Society.
As parents, we want to shield and protect kids from the toxins and other causes of these tumors.
In addition to genetic issues, tumor development may be influenced by the following:
Cell Phones. Although not scientifically proven, cellphones may contribute to a risk of brain cancer.
Cellphones emit a type of radiation known as Radio Frequency-Electromagnetic Radiation (RF-EMR), also known as microwave radiation. A 2010 study noted that “in general and on average, children suffer a higher exposure of their brain regions than adults.”
This is due to a child’s smaller head, yet they receive the same amount of radiation as an adult.
People under the age of 20 who use cell phones are at a much higher risk due to a thinner skull and bones.
Kids using these phones also have a higher rate of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD).
Some precautionary tips:
- Turn airplane mode on when giving a phone to a child.
- Turn off wireless networks and devices when not in use.
- Turn off Wi-Fi router at bedtime.
- Use a speaker phone or earpiece.
Dental X-rays. This is a critical factor contributing to brain tumor development in kids. Dental X-rays should be minimized or avoided in young children.
Hot dogs. Hot dogs can increase brain cancer risk in children especially. Hot dogs contain nitrates/nitrates as preservatives which when cooked, can form carcinogenic compounds.
One 7 year study evaluated children from birth to age 10. Those who ate more than 12 hot dogs per month have a 9 times higher risk of developing leukemia. (Cancer Causes and Control 5. 195-202, 1994) Peters, John M., et al. “Processed Meats and Risk of Childhood Leukemia (California, USA).” Cancer Causes & Control, vol. 5, no. 2, 1994, pp. 195–202. https://www.jstor.org/stable/3553399?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents
Children who ate hot dogs one or more times a week also had a higher risk for brain cancer. (Cancers Causes and Control 5 141—8, 1994.
Schools and sports events tend to have concession stands that sell hot dogs and soda. Avoid these foods. We recommend showing this article to school staff to try to make a difference in the safety of our kids.
Microwaving Plastics. It is wise to never microwave plastics. There are chemicals that can leach into the foods. Some of these chemicals are associated with brain cancer and liver cancer. It is also recommended to severely limit microwave use in the home.

Could Wisconsin see a bridge collapse?
MILWAUKEE - The bridge collapse in Washington on Thursday brings to light the numerous bridges across the country that are considered structurally deficient.
According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, 1,157 of the 14,057 bridges in Wisconsin are considered structurally deficient. That is 8.2 percent.
Out of those 14,057 bridges, 779 (or 5.5 percent) are considered functionally obsolete.
ASCE also reports that Wisconsin received $18.3 million from the Federal Highway Bridge Fund in FY2011.

The 9-1 chance, trained by John Gosden, surged past long-time leader Deauville, with Foundation in third.
Gosden indicated the winner is likely to be added as a supplementary entry for the Derby at Epsom on 4 June.
Wings Of Desire was made about 4-1 joint favourite by bookmakers for the Derby alongside US Army Ranger.
Gosden, who won last year's Dante and Derby with Golden Horn, described his 2016 York winner as "freakish".
"He showed me things early on, I thought 'goodness'. He's so laid back," said the Newmarket trainer.
He said Deauville would be aimed at the French Derby.
BBC horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
"Though it looks as though the Midterm bubble has burst, Wings of Desire and Frankie Dettori provided another boost to what's already looking like a high-octane staging of the Derby.
"Not only is this a horse that wasn't ever asked to do anything serious on the gallops until 10 weeks ago, so considerable further improvement can reasonably be expected, but also racing looks set to get what it loves - Dettori on fancied runners in the Epsom Classics, this and So Mi Dar in the Oaks.
"Midterm never got into it and will undergo tests."

Disclosure: The following interview was conducted as part of an expense-paid blogger event for Disney.
Ron Clements and John Musker talk Disney
Meeting Ron Clements and John Musker was a real bucket list moment for me. The directors of Aladdin, The Princess and the Frog, and The Little Mermaid were on the Disney lot recently to celebrate the upcoming Blu-Ray release of The Little Mermaid on October 1, 2013.
I was honored to be included among a group of bloggers that I admire deeply, to interview Ron and John and ask them about their memories and experiences making The Little Mermaid.
One thing that struck me most about the interview with Ron and John was how present Walt Disney’s influence is in their work, past, present and future. Disney’s philosophy, instincts and gift for storytelling continue to inspire Disney’s moviemakers and talent today. For instance, Ron and John explained that Disney never thought of his films as being for kids. His vision was that all ages would appreciate movies like Bambi, Pinocchio, and Fantasia.
I also learned that Disney experienced his share of rejection and doubt. In 1937, no one believed that a cartoon could succeed as a feature-length movie. “Before that time it was just seven- minute shorts [shown in movie theaters] and people thought Disney was crazy. Snow White was called “Disney’s Folly” because a lot of people thought no one was going to be able to sit through a cartoon that’s 90 minutes long,” said Ron. Of course, Snow White proved the skeptics wrong in a big way.
Like Disney, Ron Musker and John Clements have never stopped dreaming. In spite of their success, they too experienced their share of rejection as the studio heads initially did not accept The Little Mermaid as a viable movie idea (wisely, they later changed their minds). Ron and John also experienced the doubt that The Little Mermaid would be finished by its release date and accepted by audiences: “There was a lot of pressure – [We were asking,] ‘Are we gonna be able to get the film done in time?’ said Ron. “It’s so consuming just trying to get the film done in time, you’re so preoccupied, that you forget about anything else besides getting the film done. So [afterwards] it’s kind of, ‘Whoa, not only did we get it done but people really like it!’
John and Ron grew up with Sleeping Beauty and Pinocchio. “I saw Pinocchio,” continued Ron, “and something about it…I don’t know if I was just the right age. Whatever it was, I came out of the theater thinking, ‘That’s what I wanna do. I wanna be involved in animation in some way.’”
The same artists who created Pinocchio, Lady and the Tramp, and many other classics, famously known as the Nine Old Men, were John and Ron’s teachers. “They were a group of veteran animators, and we learned right from them how you do animation,” said John. “They put [the sketch] on their drawing board, and put a sheet of paper over it to draw over it and show you how it could be better.”
I found this description to be particularly touching. The Nine Old Men’s films are universally loved and have inspired generations of movie lovers. Pinocchio was my first movie, and that big-screen experience instilled in me a lifelong love of movies. Now, Ron and John are carrying on Disney’s legacy, inspiring audiences of all ages to appreciate the special quality of drawn, 2D animation they perfected in The Little Mermaid.

Nikhi Rathi, the chief executive of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), has warned that banks will face severe consequences if they are found guilty of lying about cases of ‘debanking’, amid a series of high-profile cases in recent months.
Extreme action has been taken against a former chief executive of a large bank due to breaches of the integrity rules, following the fallout between Nigel Farage and Natwest earlier this year. If misinformation is intentionally given to customers, there will be serious consequences for the senior management involved, according to the FCA.
The primary reasons for account closures were due to inactivity or concerns related to financial crime. In that case, while four accounts at UK banks were closed for political reasons, a closer examination uncovered that three of these closures were attributed to inappropriate customer behaviour, specifically involving racist language, rather than being solely based on political opinions.
Nikhil Rathi cautioned the Treasury about “policy overload”, expressing concern over the government’s swift implementation of reforms in the financial services sector.
Wayne Johnson, CEO and co-founder, Encompass Corporation, commented: “As the attention and scrutiny around debanking continues, it remains critical that banks can ensure the fair and consistent treatment of customers – and are able to prove this – to avoid potentially significant consequences, as outlined by the regulator.
”This recent spotlight on debanking has highlighted the importance of implementing technology-driven processes, which allow banks to act based on verifiable facts, presented by live, authoritative publicly available data – and, crucially, evidence actions taken.
“Technology exists to establish a customer’s identity, providing real-time profiles, generated on demand, to validate and verify a company with full transparency. By leveraging this, banks can not only evidence compliance and protect their reputation with a robust, effective Know Your Customer (KYC) process, but also save time and maximise business efficiency across the board.”

The Queen of England has stayed politically neutral in her 66 years on the throne. This has been a careful and deliberate stance over the decades. But in her Christmas message this year, Queen Elizabeth II appealed for people to show more respect to those with opposing views.
This message comes just three months before Britain is planning to leave the European Union because of deep political divisions.
“Even with the most deeply held differences, treating the other person with respect and as a fellow human being is always a good first step towards greater understanding,” the Queen said.
The 92-year-old also stated that the Christian message of “peace on earth and goodwill to all” is timeless, and “needed as much as ever.”
The Queen never wavers from her politically neutral stance and she does not mention Brexit directly. But her message ended a year in which the divisions over the issue have widened. The message also comes at a time when national populists surge across Europe and as US President Donald Trump continues to create division for political gain.
The statement features Queen Elizabeth II sitting at a desk in the White Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace. There is a black-and-white photograph of her, Prince Philip and Prince Charles as a baby.
The queen is wearing an ivory silk dress designed by Angela Kelly and a yellow gold brooch with carved ruby and diamond embellishments designed by Andrew Grima. It was a gift from The Duke of Edinburgh in 1966.
The monarch also mentioned the royal weddings and births that have taken place this year.
“It’s been a busy year for my family, with two weddings and two babies, and another child expected soon,” she said. “It helps to keep a grandmother well occupied.”
The Queen referenced the Christmas story and said it retained its appeal.
“I believe his message of peace on earth and goodwill to all is never out of date. It can be heeded by everyone; it’s needed as much as ever.”


Summer Summary: There were plenty of bright spots for the Phoenix Suns this summer in Las Vegas
Jul 21, 2015, 11:03 AM | Updated: 11:04 am
Despite falling short in the championship game of the Las Vegas Summer League on Monday, the Phoenix Suns have plenty to hang their hat on after compiling a 5-2 overall record during NBA Summer League action.
The biggest payoff? The encouraging production from hopeful future mainstays in second-year pro T.J. Warren and rookie shooting guard Devin Booker.
The Suns also received a more expansive look into the evolving games of center Alex Len and guard Archie Goodwin — who each enter their third year with Phoenix next season — and a glimpse at potential diamonds in the rough in Mike James and Josh Harrellson.
Below we take an in-depth look at each of the aforementioned players, reviewing the summer that was for the Suns in Sin City.
Warren was the team’s leading scorer during the Las Vegas Summer league with 18.7 points per game, which boosted him to be named to the All-NBA Summer League First Team. He played all seven games, adding 17 points and six rebounds in 32 minutes during the Summer League Final against the San Antonio Spurs.
The 18-year-old was the Summer Suns’ third-leading scorer with 15.3 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. The No. 13 overall pick shot 40 percent from behind the arc, and scored 10 points in 29 minutes in Phoenix’s Finals loss to the Spurs. His Summer League high came Sunday, where he scored 31 points (and shot 5-for-9 on 3-pointers) against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Len missed two games due to precautionary reasons, but still averaged 10.8 points and 9.8 rebounds in 24.4 minutes per game during the summer. Len nearly had a double-double in the title game, finishing with nine points and 13 rebounds.
Goodwin was the team’s second-leading scorer during the summer, averaging 15.9 points per game and shooting 46.8 percent from the floor. He scored 12 points in 28 minutes in Phoenix’s 93-90 Finals loss.
A Summer League roster invitee out of Lamar University, James played all seven games (starting five), averaging 12.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game while shooting 46.4 percent from the floor and 38.1 percent on 3-pointers. The 6-foot-1 guard led the team with 32 points in the championship game. James had been playing overseas for Laboral Kutxa Vitoria in Spain before receiving the Summer League call.
Harrellson averaged 8.4 points and 5.1 rebounds on 57.1 percent shooting across seven games during the Summer League. The 6-foot-10 forward played just nine minutes against San Antonio, tallying three points. The former Kentucky Wildcat has not played in the NBA since 2013-14 with the Detroit Pistons.

The HSL 3 is a Belgian high-speed rail line currently under construction which will connect Liège to the German border. 56 km long (42 km dedicated high-speed tracks, 14 km modernised lines), it is scheduled for completion by the end of 2006.
Together with the HSL 2 and HSL 1 to the French border, the combined eastward high speed line will greatly accelerate journeys between Brussels, Paris and Germany. HSL 3 will be used by Thalys and ICE trains as well as fast internal InterCity services.
Trains leave Liège by the modernised classic line, at speeds which progressively rise to 160 km/h. Chênée marks the beginning of the dedicated high-speed tracks; these are expected to accommodate speeds of between 220 and 250 km/h. The line crosses the Vesdre, then traverses a 6.2 km long tunnel between Vaux-sous-Chèvremont and Soumagne (see below for details).
The line then parallels the E40 motorway; shortly after the village of Walhorn, it passes under the E40 in a cut-and-cover section, and rejoins the regular line. Trains run on the modernised classic line at 160 km/h, pass over the Hammerbrücke viaduct (entirely reconstructed for the project), and cross the border 2 km further on.
Beyond the border, high-speed trains will travel along modernised existing rail lines to Aachen station. Trains will use left-hand running along this section (as in Belgium), switching over to right-hand running at Aachen.
At Liège, a completely new station is being constructed to accommodate Thalys and internal InterCity services. Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, it will be covered by an immense glass vault, and will include a shopping centre.
The most interesting construction project is the 6505 m long tunnel at Soumagne, which will become the longest railway tunnel in Belgium. The bored section is 5940 m, extended by covered sections of respectively 177 and 388 m. Dozens of geological layers of differing hardness must be tunnelled through, lime layers needing to be blasted through with dynamite. The tunnel will reach a depth of 127 m in some areas; it will have an average ramp height of 1.7%, with a maximum of 2% at the mouth in Soumagne. The free space profile in the tunnel is approximately 69 m², which will restrict speeds to 200 km/h.

Islamabad (September 26, 2017): The Supreme Court resumed hearing of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Hanif Abbasi’s petition seeking Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman (PTI) Imran Khan’s disqualification for concealing offshore company and allegedly receiving funds for party from prohibited sources.
A three members bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar heard the case.

Advancing arguments, PTI chief counsel Naeem Bukhari said that he had submitted written statements on the instruction of the court. He added that Hanif Abbasi’s counsel had submitted only two documents and the law regarding verified document applied on both parties.
Bukhari said that before 2002 elections Imran showed Rs6.5 million received from Jemima as load which was a gift not loan.Upon this, the CJP remarked that the question arises here is whether Jemima was owner of Bano Gala property or it was Benami. To this, Bukhari read out the affidavit of Imran Khan wherein he had stated that the property was acquired for Jemima.
The chief justice observed that the record of $126,000 was still not presented, to which Bukhari responded that the record of these transactions was not available.
Responding to the chief justice’s query asking from which amount did [Imran’s former wife] Jemima become the land owner, Bukhari said Jemima became the land owner of the Bani Gala property from the amount sent from London.According to you, the proceeds from the sale of the London flat were deposited in the account of Niazi Services Limited and sent to Jemima from this account, the chief justice remarked.
Justice Bandial observed that according to the 2003 record of the bank, the account of Niazi Services Limited is not available.During the hearing, Imran’s accountant also presented his arguments but failed to satisfy the court regarding the origin and transfer of funds from the sale of Imran’s London flat to the purchase of his estate in Bani Gala, Islamabad.
The court adjourned further hearing till September 28, 2017.
The petition seeks the disqualification of Imran Khan and PTI Secretary General Jahangir Tareen for the non-disclosure of assets, ownership of offshore companies and for PTI being a foreign-funded party.On September 23, Abbasi submitted documents in the Supreme Court containing tax returns provided by Imran to the Election Commission of Pakistan in his nomination papers for the 2003-2006 period.
The documents submitted by Abbasi included financial details of the sale of Imran’s London apartment in 2004. The documents also do not have any mention of a loan taken from Imran’s former wife Jemima Khan for the PTI chief’s Bani Gala residence.

Understanding Bladder Cancer
Bladder Cancer usually begins in the cells that line the bladder and is most often a problem for people of advanced age. Although early-stage bladder cancer is very treatable, it also has one of the highest levels of recurrence of any other cancer.
Bladder cancer affects almost half a million people worldwide each year and is the ninth most diagnosed cancer type across the globe. Although the survival rate is quite high, it needs to be monitored quite frequently.
Men are four times more likely to develop this type of cancer than women are, and are more frequently diagnosed in developed countries, which has been the subject of research over the years. That being said, Europe and North America have the most cases of bladder cancer diagnosed each year.
Most Common Symptoms
The most common Bladder Cancer symptoms presented revolve heavily around urination. This includes frequent and painful urination, inability to pass urine, and blood in the urine.
When these symptoms present themselves, however, cancer has usually spread to other parts of the body and may accompany other seemingly unrelated symptoms.

Rupee oversold, say experts
US rate hike could have adverse impact on debt repayment
High interest rates and inflation could be in the offing
Calls for consistent policies and reforms from Govt. in Budget
By Shehana Dain
Government intervention in defending the rupee remains a talking point even as the currency steadied in trading on downward pressure yesterday, with experts voicing concern over moves by officials to excessively oversell the rupee.
“I don’t think that it’s the correct time for the officials to be bearish about the rupee at the moment. The current rate around 140-141 is far too much overselling. I think they should be bullish and bring it down to 138-139,” opined Bloomberg Analyst Akshay Chinchalkar.
He made these comments at an economic forum organised by DFCC Bank, highlighting that if Sri Lanka continued to think that the dollar would rally against the rupee, it could be “a very risky move”.
The Central Bank took a decisive move to let the rupee float from 4 September this year in order to boost exports.
Akshay expects the US Federal Reserve to increase interest rates in March and if that situation arises it will significantly impact the debt-ridden Lankan economy. As at June 2015 the country’s external debt amounted to Rs. 3,181,800 m. He added the depreciating rupee had resulted in more expensive debt payments and that the relevant authorities had to closely follow the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision.
“The world’s debt is in USD. If the Fed hikes rates, the USD will rally because money will yield to an asset which is now fetching higher yield. If the USD rallies, the debt will become more expensive to pay off so there will definitely be a big impact,” he opined.
Institute of Policy Planning Deputy Director Dr. Dushni Weerakoon noted that having a “misaligned exchange rate” for the first eight months of the year fuelled imports, squeezed out exports and also managed to hold back foreign remittances. She said this was mainly due to the anticipation of a revised stance on policy.
Foreign remittance inflow, which is the country’s largest source of income in terms of foreign exchange, showed only 1.8% growth during January-September. Exports were down 3.4% and continued to deteriorate during the year, however imports surged to about 37.3%, according to Central Bank data.
She highlighted that the decision to float the Rupee had constantly been a stop-go policy for years and added that abrupt economic decisions by policymakers were mere short-term solutions for a bigger issue.
“Sri Lanka has always tried to stimulate the economic growth via monetary policy where monetary easing or a misaligned exchange rate is pushed to the economy. What we end up with is consumer demand picking up with imports amplifying, the exchange rate being overvalued and the rupee being pressured, which ultimately leads to inflation. As a result policy corrections are made abruptly, which leads to the rupee floating. The cycle never ends. The next step the Government will opt to take with our experience is further monetary easing.”
She went on to outline the implications of an oversold rupee “If private sector credit financing increases and the rupee continues to depreciate, it’s fair to say that demand side inflation will start to build up in the economy. We may end up with high interest rates or a high inflation regime if the policy adjustments are not taken in time,” she noted.
“The point that we are missing is that monetary easing will work only if money supply is a constraint to growth. If the growth of the economy is consumption led, then the demand for investments by the private sector will not yield the expected results,” Dr. Weerakoon explained.
Dr. Weerakoon insisted that immediate fiscal reforms were a priority.
“This is adding to our fiscal woes. There are systemic risks arising from this, huge build-up in contingent liabilities over the last three years with direct borrowing which involves State banks. Tackling fiscal reforms is a must. People should know that we’re in an economic crisis and strong Parliamentary mandates to push reforms and ownership should be taken in a reform process rather than a perception that it was forced on them from outside,” she added.
Hard decisions by the Government will be looked for in the upcoming Budget. “The only reform today is change of Government; there is no clear mandate aligned with the economic thinking or any preparation if an economic crisis hits the country. Policy clarity and agenda setting are top priority and the starting point is revenue generation. It’s not one-off ad hoc taxes; there has to be a systematic tax reform effort. Tax revenue has to be increased and hard decisions must be taken at this juncture with regard to rationalised spending.”
Rupee little changed amid downward pressure
Reuters: The rupee ended slightly weaker on Monday in dull trade as importer dollar demand outpaced mild exporter sales of the greenback, dealers said.
The rupee finished at 141.05/15 per dollar, compared with Friday’s close of 141.05/10.
Dealers expect the rupee to remain under pressure due to an increase in importer demand for the US currency and lower exporter conversions.
“If the US Federal Reserve raises the rate at this week’s meeting, then the pressure will be severe,” a currency dealer said, asking not to be named. “If not, it will be in an uneasy territory unless we see some strong inflows.”
Another dealer said the market was dull because of a holiday on Tuesday. While the participants have heard of some fund-raising by the Central Bank is on the cards, the market was waiting to see if there is going to be some strong inflows, the dealer added.
Sri Lanka’s forex and stock markets will remain closed for a Buddhist religious holiday on Tuesday.
Analysts expect Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake to increase import taxes when he presents the 2016 Budget scheduled on 20 November, to reduce dollar outflows.
Apart from imports, heavy Government spending is also putting pressure on the rupee, the dealers said.
The rupee hit a record low of 141.40 per dollar on 28 September, but recovered slightly after a State-run bank sold dollars.
Commercial banks parked Rs. 71.73 billion ($508.72 million) of surplus liquidity on Monday, using the Central Bank’s deposit facility.
The Central Bank injected Rs. 116 million on Monday after injecting Rs. 5.5 billion on Friday, the bank’s data showed, which analysts said likely to be used for T-bill settlement on Friday.

Association between cholesterol-phospholipid vesicles and cholesterol crystals in human gallbladder bile.
In: Hepatology, Vol. 9, Nr. 4: S. 541-546
Rapid aggregation of cholesterol-phospholipid vesicles in gallbladder bile seems to be the first event in the production of cholesterol crystals, a prerequisite for cholesterol gallstone formation. We examined the amount of these vesicles in 33 human gallbladder biles in relation to biliary lipid composition and to the presence of cholesterol crystals. Biliary microscopy detected cholesterol crystals in all 19 biles from patients with cholesterol gallstones but in none of 14 biles from patients with pigment stones. Gel chromatography was used to separate vesicles and micelles in the native bile with an eluting buffer containing 10 mM sodium cholate to prevent disruption of micellar lipids. Cholesterol, phospholipid and bile salt concentrations were measured in every fraction collected. Bile acid, phospholipid, cholesterol and total lipid concentrations were not significantly different in samples with and without cholesterol crystals. The cholesterol saturation index (1.4 ± 0.11 vs. 1.0 ± 0.08) was significantly (p < 0.01) higher in biles with crystals than without crystals. Gel filtration revealed a vesicular peak in addition to micellar fraction in 18 (23.1 ± 3.2% of total cholesterol) of the 19 biles with crystals but only in three (15.7 ± 2.4% of total cholesterol) of 14 biles without crystals. There was no relation between biliary lipid concentration or the cholesterol saturation index and the percentage of vesicular cholesterol in biles with or without crystals. The close association of vesicles and crystals in human gallbladder bile supports the contention that vesicles are important in the initial nucleation of cholesterol monohydrate crystals.
