“This is already the hardest show I’ve ever done,” Danny Burstein said, wolfing down a burger and a beer after a recent day of rehearsal for “Talley’s Folly.” It’s tough to take this busy actor entirely seriously — not because Lanford Wilson’s 1979 play isn’t daunting. It requires Mr. Burstein to share the stage with a single co-star, Sarah Paulson, in a tense romantic pas de deux, for roughly 100 uninterrupted minutes.
Steepening the challenge, rehearsals for this Roundabout Theater Company production of “Talley’s Folly,” which started previews on Friday at the Laura Pels Theater, began while Mr. Burstein was still on Broadway playing a taciturn boxing trainer in Lincoln Center Theater’s acclaimed revival of “Golden Boy.”
But the grin he wears while ostensibly groaning about his workload is the giveaway. Mr. Burstein, at 48 suddenly a go-to stage actor for dramas as well as musicals, is the kind of self-described “working stiff” who’s grateful for an honest day’s work. It wouldn’t be surprising if he cheerily thought of each show as his hardest yet.
“His work ethic is unbelievably strong,” Michael Wilson, who’s directing “Talley’s Folly,” said in a recent phone interview. “ ‘Golden Boy’ was not even open yet when he reached out to me about starting to work on this.”
Mr. Wilson has found Mr. Burstein equally tireless in rehearsal. “You don’t have to sit back and wait to know what Danny is thinking about,” Mr. Wilson said. “His imagination is on overdrive all the time.”
Mr. Burstein’s wife, Rebecca Luker, a theater and cabaret performer herself, seconded Mr. Wilson: “Oh my God, yes, I would describe him as a workaholic. He’ll just immerse himself in a role.”
This has been true even of the mostly supporting parts that have made his reputation, from the pompadoured Latin lover in “The Drowsy Chaperone” to the scheming Seabee in “South Pacific,” both of which nabbed him Tony nominations. His next Tony nomination, in 2011, was for a leading role, Buddy, in the revival of “Follies,” which he then followed late last year with his understated turn in “Golden Boy.”
With that credit and now “Talley’s Folly” Mr. Burstein rounds out a season of nonmusical parts. This hasn’t been a coincidence.
“I’ve got the drama bug,” Mr. Burstein said while walking to dinner, past the former midtown site of his alma mater, La Guardia Performing Arts High School, as well as the Broadway theaters he’s worked in since the early 1990s. “I wanted to feed my play side again.”
Those Broadway credits didn’t come until he’d had a similar self-imposed furlough from musical theater. Though he’d gotten his Equity card doing musical summer stock in the 1980s, “I never particularly thought of myself as a musical actor,” he said.
So he got an M.F.A. in acting from the University of California, San Diego, which helped land him the agent he still has today, Philip Adelman. “You could tell even in his grad showcase that he was touched by genius,” said Mr. Adelman in a phone interview. But genius isn’t always an easy sell.
“He’s uncategorizable,” admitted Mr. Adelman, who in addition to stage roles has landed Mr. Burstein work on HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire” and in several independent films. “The blessing and the challenge of being as unique as Danny is that there isn’t any identifiable slot for him. The perfect role wasn’t going to present itself, but there are so many roles he could do.”
Such is the character actor’s lot, but Mr. Burstein has embraced it with a vengeance, giving him a formidable range. He has shown himself to be that rare thing, a tummler with gravitas. Bartlett Sher, who directed him in “South Pacific” and “Golden Boy,” as well as in “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown,” called Mr. Burstein “this weird utility player.”
“He has some of the broadest skills of anyone working in New York,” he explained. “He can do classical work, he can do naturalism, and he can do very souped-up, over-the-top characters. In any role you believe what he’s doing.”
That range would seem ideally suited to the role of Matt Friedman, the voluble German-Jewish accountant in “Talley’s Folly,” who spends a summer night in 1944 attempting to win over Sally Talley, a fiercely independent Missouri heiress. (Judd Hirsch starred opposite Trish Hawkins in the 1980 original, which won the Pulitzer Prize and ran for 286 performances on Broadway.)
“I think of Matt as a survivor, though it may not be the healthiest of survivals,” Mr. Burstein said. “He lives in this world where he doesn’t deal with his pain and gets by on the fact that he’s a numerical genius. If something gets too serious, he delves into his work and loses his head in numbers.”
For the duration of the play, though, Matt’s pursuit of Sally is single-minded, starting with a prologue in which he asks for the audience’s support in what he plans to be “a valentine.” Though Sally puts up strong resistance, Ms. Paulson, who plays her, conceded that Mr. Burstein’s character is definitely in the driver’s seat. She’s happy to ride shotgun.
“Listening is a very big activity when you’re in a two-character play,” said Ms. Paulson. “And whenever I have a moment of panic or fear that I won’t get to the next moment, I look over into Danny’s face, and he does what I would imagine a principal male dancer does with a ballerina. I trust that he will lift me up and carry me there.”
Mr. Burstein’s emotional availability may spring from more than simple experience. “He seems like the golden boy himself, but it’s been hard won for him,” Mr. Wilson, the director, said.
And Mr. Burstein, who is half-Jewish and half-Costa Rican, admitted that he’s had “a weird life,” marked as much by divorces as by happy remarriages (both his mother’s and his own), by odd jobs and lean times, and by his stepfather, a philosophy professor, who introduced him to plays at young age. “I was a 9-year-old reading Ibsen,” he said. “The play form spoke to me.”
If an actor is in part a repository of life experiences, it’s no wonder Mr. Burstein is so versatile.
“Something in me made me stop and smell the roses along the way — just listen, take it all in, make mental notes, take a picture,” he said. “It sounds like a cliché, but I don’t forget where I came from.”

The RSL was not consulted about the decision to light the front of the Shrine of Remembrance in LGBTQ colours, and its Victorian president says he is pleased the display was cancelled.
Robert Webster said the view of most Returned and Services League members he had spoken to was that the gesture, which was to have taken place on Sunday night, would have been inappropriate. “We’re a very conservative organisation,” he said.

Lighting the St Kilda Road edifice should be “directly related to the Shrine’s function as a place for remembrance of Australians in conflict”, he said.
Webster said the RSL was also concerned about the abuse and threats the RSL and the Shrine had received in reaction to the lights plan, and he believed scrapping it would defuse the situation.
“I had a threat that there would be 10,000 veterans [converging] on the Shrine forecourt making sure it wouldn’t happen,” Webster said.
Shrine chief executive Dean Lee said several threats made by members of the public to Shrine staff had been referred to police.
Lee said the Shrine had received more than 100 comments from people who were “overwhelmingly opposed” to the LGBTQ lights plan.
Some messages were extreme, but he would not reveal details, nor say if they were death threats.
Lee said he was disappointed to have cancelled, but the decision was made following the threats, to protect the community.

On Sunday, for the first time, the Shrine hosted a wreath-laying ceremony and Last Post for LGBTQ veterans and advocates, as the rainbow flag flew in the forecourt.
Afterwards, about a dozen protesters opposing the LGBTQ service jostled with police when officers attempted to move them on. No one was arrested, police said.

Lee said he supported many of the objectors’ views that they wanted to protect the sacred nature of the Shrine.
But he said the Shrine felt galvanised to support the LGBTQ community and many people would view the exhibition, Defending With Pride, which opens on Monday telling LGBTQ servicepeople’s stories.
Lee said it would take time “before people become comfortable with recognising the Shrine’s contemporary role in serving and supporting the general community of Victoria”.
Rachael Cosgrove, president of the Defence LGBTI Information Service, said her organisation and others in the queer community were sad and disappointed the lights were cancelled.
Cosgrove said the lights would have helped signify that LGBTQ people in defence were in a safe environment, and helped change attitudes.
However, the exhibition would continue and was an exciting opportunity to highlight, celebrate and commemorate the service in defence of the LGBTQ community, she said.
Lights for LGBTQ veterans would have been a beautiful symbol, said Claire Andrews (right) pictured with daughter Bree Andrews.Credit:Eddie Jim
Among visitors on the Shrine forecourt on Sunday, playwright Kevin McGreal, 52, of Southbank, a member of the LGBTQ community, said he did not see why people would object to coloured lights. “It was just a lovely gesture.”
Bree Andrews, 23, of Nathalia, said she understood the Shrine was protecting staff and visitors from potential violence and threats in calling off the lights, but “part of me thinks it’s letting hate win” and it made her sad.
Bree’s mother, Claire Andrews, 60, whose late brother did not feel he could come out as gay when he served in the air force, said the lights would have been a “beautiful symbol of the acceptance of the LGBTQI community”.

Books digitization services have seen a rapid rise in the educational market. Though established in the '90s, digital learning demands skyrocketed in recent years.
With digital learning as an alternative, learners of different age groups worldwide have easy access to learning materials.
In fact, the book digitization’s major goal is to amplify the books’ reach by distributing it across several digital spaces.
Furthermore, the rise in book digitization has led different Edu-tech companies to operate successfully in the world. How?
If the companies implement digitization accurately, they can achieve high-quality input, copyright protection, cost efficiency and a higher return on investment.
The books digitization services have innumerable benefits in the learning space. However, let us take a look at some of its principal advantages.
Way to Smart Learning
Learners are the primary gainers of digital books. Digitization of books improves the learning experience with better engagement and memory retention. How is that possible?
When books are digitized, many ways open up for interactive education. For instance, the instructors can include VR effects in tedious lessons.
Today the learners prefer self-learning. With digital e-books, learners can individualize their learning. They do not need to heft about the learning speed or pain points.
Digitization of books opens up doors to innovative, smart and flexible learning.
Way to Smart Teaching
Like the learners, the instructors, too, gain from the digitization of books. The book digitization service provider enables professors to bid farewell to the tedious teaching procedures.
If the instructors teach from digital books, they can bring in innovative ways to assist the learners. The service providers can customize the digitization of books according to the teachers’ needs.
Furthermore, digital tools and automation software also enable teachers to track attendance and send an automated response to learners.
The modern learning management systems help the instructors in reviewing assignments, facilitating tests, grades and others.
Worth the Money and Space
What is the use of smart learning and teaching if book digitization is overpriced? However, it is not the case.
A genuine book digitization service provider will not exempt money from the clients. The digitizing of books reduces the cost of reprinting. There is no wastage of money on equipment management, paper record maintenance and storage.
Physical books have their charm. But, storing the books takes up much space. However, digital books do not need bookshelves, the smartphones, tablets, and laptops are enough!
The digitization process requires a one-time investment, and users can reap its benefits for a lifetime.
Book digitization has unveiled a new world to the learners and students. The world is of possibilities and innovation.
However, an efficient digitization service provider is a must for quality books. Acadecraft is a leading ed-tech company in the US.
The company offers quality books digitization services at efficient rates. For free quotes, reach out at email@example.com.

It’s only been on sale for a few days, but Michelle Obama’s memoir has debuted at No. 1. The book’s publisher, Crown, says that “Becoming” sold so briskly on its publication date — 725,000 in all formats — that they have gone back to press for an additional 800,000 hardcover copies, bringing the total in print to 2.8 million.
The passage in “Becoming” that has made the most headlines is the one where Obama calls out Donald Trump for championing birther conspiracies. “As a wife and mother whose kids go out into the world every day, to have someone just make something up about our existence is problematic,” she told The Times in a recent interview. “I lived with a bullet lodged in the window of the Truman balcony that was shot into the home where my family lived by someone with a high-powered rifle.”
Those Best-Of Lists? They’ve Been Around Awhile
The Times began publishing in 1851 and, in a front-page article, recommended books that very first December. “This is the season of book-blossoms. The holidays act upon books like April upon trees,” the paper opined, extolling both “Memoirs of the Beauties of the Court of Charles the Second” (“women of illustrious beauty, and equally illustrious guilt”) and “The Reveries of a Bachelor.” By early 1900s, the “Leading Books of the Season,” as it was called, had become a best-of list that often included 200 or even 250 titles.
Though the United States entered World War I in April 1917, it wasn’t reflected in that December’s book coverage. “As has long been its Christmas custom, The New York Times Review of Books presents herewith the carefully selected list of the 200 leading books of the year,” the paper wrote before recommending novels called “How Could You, Jean?” and “The Man Who Killed,” a guide entitled “Food Poisoning” and a self-help book, “The Faith of a Middle-Aged Man,” which included such chapters as “The Years of Attrition,” “The Discipline of Pain” and “The Hope of Everlasting Life.”
Things changed by 1918, when the paper shrank its list to 100: “Owing to the pre-emption by the war, there is much less time on the part of the general reader for … the literary trifling of peacetime. The dilettante will have to bide his time: c’est la guerre.” Paper shortages also meant fewer books were being published, particularly extravagant gift editions. This, The Times wrote, was well and good: “Books were made to be read and not merely to serve as center-table ornaments.”

Poets often write friendship poetry and most of the time they may not even know. Friendship poetry can be very loving or the opposite. This form of poetry can be written about a social friendship, relationship friendship, a work friendship or family friendship. For some poets it may be very easy for them to write friendship poetry.Social friendship is most often a friendship between two people who’ve known each other for a long time. Writers often write friendship poetry in this form in a good or bad way about the friend. If the poem is written in a bad way the person usually write bad things about their friend or what about how the friend did bad things. If the poem is written in a good way the poet usually writes about how they appreciate the friend or write about good things that the friend has done. Because social friendships can sometimes quickly end this poetry form may not get written as much as similar styles.Relationship friendship poetry is written a lot by people. A lot of poets start seriously writing poetry when they are in their teen years and at the same time during their teen years is when they start having girlfriend or boyfriend relationships. This form of poetry can be very similar to love poetry. It the relationship is going well the poet may write a poem describe friendship bond between the two. If the relationship is not going well the person may write a poem describing how bad of a person their friend is.Most people who work with other people at a job usually make work friendships with other employees. Writers sometimes write poems about work friendships. Even though they might not mention their work friend’s name the poem they write can be very descriptive. If their work relationship with the friend is good they may write poem detailing it but if it’s not a good relationship they could write a poem that explains why their relationship is not good. Because in a lot of jobs employees are always coming and going this form of poetry may not get written often.Family friendship poetry can be very emotional when written. A poem in this form can be about the poet’s mother, sister or cousin. When the poem is written with good emotions it will probably describe how much the family means to the poet. If it is written with sad emotions the poem may be written describing all of the bad things about the person’s family member. Because most people who are raised up in their family may be close to their family this style of poetry because of the feelings that come along with it is not easily written but is a style of poetry that is often written by poets.Friendship poems should continue to be a good style of poetry. Because of fact that a lot of people go through a lot of friendships this form of poetry will continued to be written. Friendship poetry can be found online, in books and in many other different places.

Pest Fest By Julia Durango, Illustrated by Kurt Cyrus
If your child likes bugs, this is a great one. The illustrations are really good--all the standard favorites are here: lady bugs, butterflies, honey bees, fireflies, crickets, praying mantis, etc... along with some not so standard, carpet beetles, and cicadas. (we've read a lot of bug books because juliet is REALLY into them.)
In this book, a contest is held to see who is the "pest of the year." A housefly sees all the other "more talented" bugs showing off and feels unable to compete, but in the end of course, learns that she is the peskiest of all and wins the title of "pest of the year." Juliet loves screaming, "PEST FEST! PEST FEST!" with the carpet beetle. She likes screaming anything, really, but "pest fest" seems to be particularly enjoyable.

as to dispense with the incorporation of the words and figures in this indictment." The court held that the identification of the obscene paper was insufficient and sustained a demurrer to the indictment. In passing upon the question the court says:
"The accused are entitled to be informed of the specific charge made against them, and it must be sufficiently explicit and definite to enable them to prepare their defense and present their eVidence, and, further, to enable them, in any future prosecution for the same otrense, to make the plea of autrefois acquit or autrefois convict. * * * It is not sufficient for the grand jury to allege that the contents of the paper are too obscene to be spread upon the records, and omit every means of identlfication. Surely, the objectionable matter can be described or identified in some way without giving offense to the court, or defiling its records with scandalous and indecent matter. The date of the paper, the title of the article, or its general tenor and purport, couched in decent language, would serve to make the charge definite and certain."
In U. 8. v. Clarke, 40 Fed. 325, an indictment under this statute was held sufficient upon motion in arrest of judgment. But, in addition to the fact that the objection was made after judgment, it appeared that the defendant craved oyer- of the paper before trial, and the court compelled the district attorney to produce and file the same for the defendant's inspection some days before the trial. Moreover, there was not an entire failure in that case, as in this, to describe the obscene writing in question. The paper was described as "a publication of an indecent character, beginning with the words following, to wit: 'As long as there is life, there is hope.''' In that case the court said:
"An allegation that a publication complained of is too indecent to be spread on the record m,erely obviates the necessity of setting out the contents of the publication in full, as would otherwise be required, It does not excuse the pleader for wholly omitting to describe it, or for describing it in language too general to advise the accused what particular publication 01 paper is intended."
These views are sustained in Com. v. Wright, 139 Mass. 382, 1 N. E. 411, and in People v. Hallenbeck, 52 How. Pmc. 502, where statutes in terms like the one in question were under consideration. In this case there is no attempt to describe the letter or writing upon which the charge is founded. It does not appear that this paper was without an address or signature or date. These are all means of identification. Even the absence of such features from the writing might aid in distinguishing it from other writings. The purport or meaning of a writing, however obscene, is capable of explanation in decent language, or at least of some explanation that will suffice to establish its identity. The demurrer is sustained.
ALLINGTON & CURTIS MANUF'G CO. v. BOOTH.
(Circuit Court, D. Vermont. 1.
March 4, 1896.)
PATENTS-PREI,IMINARY INJUNOTION AGAINST USER.
The prosecution of a suit against the manufacturer to an opportunity of appeal by the defendant, which is declined, is sufficient diligence to warrant the granting of a preliminary injunction in a suit against a user, especially where the patent has been sustained in other suits on final hearing.
WILGUS V. GERMAIN.
The fact that defendant fs only a user fs not sufficiem to defeat a motion for a preliminary injunction, for infringement by a user may be as irreparable as any. Birdsell v. Sbuliol, 5 Sup. Ct. 244, 112 U. S. 485, followed.
This was a suit in equity by the Allington & Curtis :Manufacturing Company against J. R. Booth for alleged infringement of a patent. Plaintiff has moved for a preliminary injunction. Albert H. Walker and C. K. Offield, for plaintiff. Geo. B. Parkinson, for defendant. WHEELER, District Judge. This cause has been heard on a motion for a preliminary injunction against infringement of several patents for improvements in dust collectors. 'l'hey have been sustained on final hearing in the circuit court for the Northern district of illinois by Judge Grosscup (Knickerbocker Co. v. Rogers, 61 Fed. 297), and in the cir-cuit court for the district of Connecticut by Judge Townsend (Manufacturing Co. v. Lynch, 71 Fed. 409); and no appeal has been taken, as there might have been. The principal objections to the motion are that the defendant is a user, and a suit against the manufacturer is not diligently prosecuted, and that the plaintiffs are not in danger of irreparable injury. The prosecution of a suit to an opportunity of appeal by the defendant, which is declined, seems to be sufficient diligence towards those defending that suit, as here; and infringe.'llent by a user may be as irreparable as any. Birdsell v. Shaliol, 112 U. 485,5 Sup. Ct. 244. The defendant ;should be as diligent in taking an appeal as the plaintiff should be in prosecution, to have an injunction stayed for ultimate decision; and compensation in damages may fall far short of equaling preventative relief. The plaintiff has offered to replace the col!ectors used by the defendant for $1,600, deposited in court to abide the event of the suit, or to license the use of them for $1,200. In view of these offers, the deposit of $1,200 as a license fee, to abide such event, would seem equitable in place of an injunction. Unless $1,200 is deposited in court within 10 days, to abide the event of the suit, as a license fee, let an injunction then issue, as prayed.
WILGUS v. GERMAIN et aL (Circuit Court of Appeals, Nintb Circuit. February 10, 1896.) No. 223.
ESTOPPEL BY RECORD-STOCKHOLDER OF CORPORATION.
Upon the trial of an action against G., N., and M., as copartners, for damages for the infringement of a patent,-one of the defenses being anticipation by a prior patent to one C., the plaintiff offered in evidence the records of two actions brought by him against two several corporations, in one of which the defendant G., and in the other the defendant N., was a stockholder. It appeared that G. and N. were present, testified, and took leading parts in the trials of such actions; that the actions were brought against the corporations for infringement of the plaintiff's patent

"Autobiographical, passionate, argumentative." -Kirkus Reviews
In Symbiotic Planet Lynn Margulis shows that symbiosis, which simply means members of different species living in physical contact with one another, is crucial to the origins of evolutionary novelty. Ranging from bacteria to the living Earth itself, Margulis explains the symbiotic origins of many of evolution's most important innovations.
Along the way, Margulis describes her initiation into the world of science and the early steps in the present revolution in evolutionary biology and the importance of species classification for how we think about the living world. Written with enthusiasm and authority, this is a book that could change the way you view our living Earth....Continua


Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has reiterated that star striker Edinson Cavani is going nowhere this summer.
The Uruguay international has scored 25 goals in Serie A this season and is attracting interest from Real Madrid.
"Will teams be inquiring about Cavani this summer? Well, we'll be inquiring about other players too. Inquiries are allowed, but at times a 'no' will come as a response," De Laurentiis said.
"Why should Cavani leave? It's not a question of money. It seems vulgar to me to only think about football from a business perspective.
"We administer our club carefully with five sets of positive accounts in a row and we don't have any need to sell a champion like Cavani."

This week, DC Comics, along with former My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way, is bringing back Doom Patrol. This team of superpowered misfits has been around for decades, and this isn’t the first time they’ve been brought back. In fact, it’s kind of their thing. Here’s what you need to know about DC’s “latest”…
Summer is nearly at it end, and as publishers put away its big events and crazy twists for the latter part of the year, getting ready to replace them with... well, more big events and crazy twists! Here’s our guide to the very best new comic series you’ll want to curl up with in the cooler months. Warning: There are a…
The great thing about comic books is the volume: they’ve been around for a long time and there have been so many issues, reboots, and continuities that there’s never a lack of things to discover. The best thing about comic books is that all that space has allowed things to get weird.
The early reviews are in—and many are lambasting Suicide Squad for being a tonal mess. A new report released by The Hollywood Reporter today claims to have the answer as to how that came about, and it apparently has a lot to do with audiences’ less-than-stellar reaction to Batman v Superman.—and WB’s worried reaction…
Suicide Squad is a weird movie, and not just because it’s about a motley crew of supervillains set in the DC universe. The movie itself is also a motley amalgamation—a strange blend of different tones, stories, and pacing all mashed into something that has cool individual elements, but never really comes together.
She’s finally here. After years of false starts, a live-action Wonder Woman movie is coming next summer. Warner Bros. just revealed the first trailer at San Diego Comic-Con to the uproarious excitement of the Hall H crowd, and it. is. perfect.
The Killing Joke is a 30-year-old Batman graphic novel that goes to ugly places, especially in what it does Batgirl. And when folks expressed anger at Barbara Gordon’s portrayal in a new, controversial scene in the upcoming film adaptation during a DC panel, things got ugly in real life.
On Saturday, Darwyn Cooke passed away at the age of 53. He was one of my favourite comic book artists (and writers).
Photographer Jason Laboy and a whole bunch of cosplayers took to the streets of New York recently for a shoot that featured everyone from Batman to Daredevil to Spider-Man.
The San Diego Comic-Con 2015 dealers room opens its doors on Wednesday evening, launching an extended weekend filled with standing in line to get limited edition stuff. Here’s what’s worth waiting for.
This is the Batman collection of Somchai Nitimongkolchai. It’s the largest in Thailand, and Nitimongkolchai thinks it might be the biggest in the world.
Comic book stores are still around, and if you’ve visited any of them, you’d probably bumped into one of these people in Dorkly’s list.
The Batman way of handling things might be extreme, but it works. So we have no objections to beating up super villains outside of the law. Especially not when there's a step-by-step guide out there.
The life of a superhero is often an anxiety-riddled mess — so it's only appropriate that a classic DC hero gets a pretentious, art house adaptation.

|Description:|| The nature park around LOFAR, with its distinctive circular "moat" in the centre, attracts lots of exotic birds. But the recent visit of a group of no less than 60 Griffon vultures (Vale Gieren) was very special. Not surprisingly, it caused a flurry of excitement among the local birding community.|
Gerard Sterk and Gerard Middelkoop have placed their pictures of these "flying barn doors" on waarneming.nl, the website for the sighting of birds that are rarely seen in the Netherlands.
Griffon vultures normally occur in Southern Europe, North Africa and Asia. But with warm weather and wind from the South, a few of them reach us each year. They effortlessly soar with the help of rising air bubbles (thermals, or thermiek) and can cover hundreds of km per day.
Our visitors were probably young birds, that are not yet breeding but just in search of food. They feed on carrion, i.e. dead sheep, goats or cows. These are not easy to find in our neat little country, so they soon retreat to their usual stomping grounds.

The Mood-Food Connection
Wellness Lecture with Rebecca Rovay-Hazelton, Nutritionist
Ideally, food provides the building blocks for proper neurotransmitter production, brain balance and blood sugar balance. Some dietary choices can contribute to imbalances in these important brain chemicals and wreak havoc on our mood: poor impulse control, depression, anxiety, lack of motivation, hopelessness, and poor emotional control. Blood sugar imbalance can also contribute to feeling easily agitated, impulsive, unstable, weak-willed and anxious. Learn which dietary patterns are likely to contribute to emotional imbalance and how to eat to support your emotional wellbeing.

A distaff is a tool used in spinning. It is designed to hold the unspun fibers, keeping them untangled and thus easing the spinning process. It is most commonly used to hold flax, and sometimes wool, but can be used for any type of fiber. Fiber is wrapped around the distaff, and tied in place with a piece of string or pined with tilted nail.
The word comes from dis in Low German, meaning a bunch of flax, connected with staff.
The traditional Russian distaff is L-shaped, and consists of a horizontal board, known as the dontse (Russian: донце), and a flat vertical piece, frequently oar-shaped, to the inner side of which the bundle of fibers was tied or pinned. The spinner sat on the dontse with the vertical piece of the distaff to her left, and drew the fibers out with her left hand.
The distaff was a traditional accessory in the life of a Russian woman from her youth to the old age. It was often richly carved and painted. A lot of spiritual warmth was put into its decoration. The distaffs were kept through her whole lives and passed on as memory from mother to the next generation. That is why they are still found in the old houses of Russia.


We Got It is the second single off the Stunners EP.
Content and MeaningEdit
The beginning of the song starts with the entire group singing, "Dare you to get up and make a joke about us. Ah ha ha, ah ha ha..." Most of the background music has a synthesized mix of keyboard and guitar similar to DJ club music heard in clubs.
The song talks about having fun at a party with the group, who embrace their personalities regardless of what others may say. Some parts of the song throw around "I like...big speakers" which is a pun off the phrase "I like...big butts" in Sir Mix a Lot's Baby Got Back.
The video was filmed by the group and some close friends who helped. Unlike the single, it skips the taunt heard in the beginning of the single and starts with the 'Ah ha ha, ah ha ha" part fading in. It takes place at a house party and involves the camera flashing to shots of the girls scattered throughout the house singing their verses. These individual scenes are mixed with scenes of the group on a stage in the house singing and getting the partygoers pumped to their song. Eventually, a pair of young boys appear at the party which makes the party stop temporarily before the Stunners yell for everyone to "Put your hands up!", which returns the party back to its upbeat mood.

Ocracoke Island to Evacuate Visitors Monday
As Hurricane Maria approaches the North Carolina coast, the Governor urged residents in coastal areas to complete their personal and home preparedness and to be alert to any changes in Maria’s track. The storm’s forecast track shifted to the west over the weekend, meaning more significant impacts to North Carolina are expected.
“Heavy ocean surf will be very dangerous all week. Deadly rip currents will be present and some storm surge flooding is possible,” said Governor Roy Cooper. “Visitors to our beaches should stay out of the water during these dangerous conditions and wait until Maria passes. Coastal residents should make sure they are ready and their homes are prepared.”
The State Emergency Operations Center will activate Monday morning to monitor the storm and will be ready to respond if needed. “This activation will include Emergency Management staff who will communicate with the counties and our State Emergency Response Team partners in order to allow us to provide any needed resources,” said NC Emergency Management Director Mike Sprayberry.
Sunday evening, the National Weather Service issued Tropical Storm Watch from Surf City northwards to the North Carolina-Virginia border as well as Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds; and a Storm Surge Watch for 2 to 4 feet above ground level from Cape Lookout to Duck, including the soundside of the Outer Banks islands. Maria’s effects will begin to be felt Monday and will last through the week, with Tropical Storm force winds expected to arrive Tuesday.
Officials in Hyde County issued a mandatory evacuation order for visitors on Ocracoke Island, beginning Monday, September 25, 2017, at 5am. County information is online here.
Maria is currently a category 3 storm, with winds of 105 miles an hour. Maria’s eye is forecast to remain about 100 miles off the North Carolina coast, but the storm’s effects will be felt far from the eye.

Press each green light in the room, it should be about 3 or 4 of them, and this should open up the secret enemy as well.
PrinceOfDaRTown - 4 years ago
Each switch has a cycle of 4 combinations. So you have to learn what each is & work it out. If you can get all but the 3rd one green then a fiddle with the 2 nearest switches should see you good. Splinter appears by the front right switch.

On Wednesday 19 October, a dedication ceremony for Goran’s Bench, one of our former colleagues, Goran Stefanovski, who very sadly passed away suddenly in 2018, was held outside the Powell Building where Goran worked.
Goran was an international figure, playwright, screenwriter, essayist, public intellectual and inspiring educator. He worked at the University in the School of Creative Arts & Industries for 16 years before his untimely death.
The Macedonian Society of Great Britian paid for the erection of the bench and the University constructed the plinth with some of Goran’s writing (pictured below) alongside a Mediterranean garden space outside the Powell Building.
Over 50 people attended, including the Charge D’Affaires of the North Macedonian Embassy in London, representatives of the UK Macedonian society, colleagues, and friends of Goran and his wife Pat Marsh.
Pat gave a reading from Goran’s work and all those gathered shared the space of contemplation and conviviality constructed in Goran’s memory.

Church of England delays decision on same-sex marriage and LGBT+ rights until 2022 despite admitting it ‘continues to hurt’ queer people
The Church of England has vowed to consider its stance on LGBT+ rights issues such as same-sex marriage by 2022 in a major new publication – but critics have accused it of being all talk, no action.
Three years in the making, the Church of England has published a set of resources titled Living in Love and Faith, exploring LGBT+ issues including “identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage”.
But the materials have been criticised for admitting the ongoing harm to the LGBT+ community by the Church of England without implementing any changes.
In the foreword for the Living in Love and Faith (LLF) book, the archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and the archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell apologised for “the huge damage and hurt” inflicted on the LGBT+ community by the church.
They added: “We have caused, and continue to cause, hurt and unnecessary suffering. For such acts, each of us, and the church collectively, should be deeply ashamed and repentant.
“As archbishops, we are personally very sorry where we have contributed to this.”
Testimonials from LGBT+ Church of England members featured in the book include a bigender person who was told by her church that she must “get rid of this sinful side” of her, a gay woman who found Christianity and became celibate and a gay man who was told to “find a good woman and get married”.
But despite the apology and the admission that the Church of England continues to cause pain for queer people, the resources seem only to advocate for more “listening and learning”, rather than action.
Church of England LGBT+ rights group ‘is not very diverse’.
Currently, the Church of England does not perform same-sex marriages and refuses to bless same-sex civil marriages. LGBT+ clergy members are allowed to be in relationships but not to have sex, while many queer Christians have reported parishes that are unwelcoming, in some cases leading to spiritual or emotional abuse.
However the church has not promised any changes will be forthcoming, only that LGBT+ issues will be considered.
The plan moving forward is to “enable bishops, dioceses, deaneries and local church communities to explore the resources together from the beginning of 2021″.
But it will not be until 2022 that “the materials will move to discernment, decision-making and if necessary, synodical processes”, led by the LLF Next Steps group.
The Next Steps group will be led by the bishop of London, Sarah Mullally, who admitted that the group was “made up of bishops, so by its very nature is not diverse”.
The church has remained vague about what decisions will actually be made in two years time.
Jayne Ozanne, director of the Ozanne Foundation which works with religious organisations around the world to support LGBT+ people, said in a statement: “I welcome the publication of the long-awaited LLF resource, which was borne out of a promise by the Archbishops for a ‘radical new Christian inclusion’.
“Whether the resource delivers this promise has yet to be seen, however it is a necessary step in the arduous journey to the church understanding that ‘love is love’.”
However, she added: “What we do know is that it tells peoples’ stories and encourages churches who have not already done so to engage with this issue.
“For those of us whose lived experience knows the damage that some of these teachings cause, I urge great caution.
“The Church of England must not excuse or legitimise homophobia in any form, no matter how civilly it is expressed. Our priority must always be to safeguard, particularly LGBT+ youth in our care.
“It is hard to understand why a document that recognises the harm caused by some church teaching does not learn from this and immediately implement urgent changes.”
Just five out of 39 people involved in the project are openly LGBT+.
Of the group of 39 involved in the project, just five were openly LGBT+. The project’s coordinating group of 17 people included just two out LGBT+ members.
At a press briefing on the launch of the LLF resources, the Church of England’s Dr Eeva John insisted: “There are five people that are out LGBT+, but I just want to also emphasise that that doesn’t necessarily mean those are the only LGBT+ members in the group.”
In fact, the bishop of Coventry Christopher Cocksworth, who led the LLF coordinating group, told BBC Radio 4 that during the three years of working on the project he never “enquired” about the sexuality of bishops who were members of the group.
How can we encourage others to be true to themselves if we don’t model it ourselves?
Jayne Ozanne told PinkNews: “We have made repeated calls for more LGBT+ people to be involved with LLF, the fact there are several senior religious leaders involved who may be gay but are not out belies the whole problem the Church of England has with openness and transparency in this complex area – how can we encourage others to be true to themselves if we don’t model it ourselves?”
Reverend Giles Goddard, who is the gay vicar of St John’s church in Waterloo, was one of the two openly LGBT+ members of the coordinating group.
Goddard told BBC Radio 4: “It was certainly challenging, it was difficult, and in an ideal world there would have been more.
“But what I felt was that we were being listened to. I felt very much that my voice was important, and I was glad of that.
He added that he hopes the project will be the “groundwork” for actual change.
“There’s nothing in the Church of England’s documents or anything that I can point at on the floor of Synod and say, ‘Look, here is a truly Christian understanding of what it means to be gay, or what it means to be trans, or what it means to be intersex.’
“Now there will be, and it’ll be part of the life of the Church of England. And I hope, therefore, that we can have better conversations about how we can live together… I think it’s an intent to do something different.”
Today the House of Bishops publishes Living in Love and Faith.
— The Church of England (@churchofengland) November 9, 2020
The resources are centred on a 480-page book, broken into five parts; the first sets questions “about human identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage”, the second makes observations about today’s society and its relationship with these issues, the third interprets them from a Christian perspective, the fourth looks at what it means to be “Christlike”.
The final section lays out conversations between people involved in the project discussing their differing viewpoints.
Alongside the book, the “learning hub” includes a series of short films, podcasts and a course which can be completed by church groups who want to engage with the resources.

Fender Release a New Range of In-Ear-Monitors
All musicians know that the more detail with which you are able to hear yourself and the other musicians during performance, the better you will perform!
Fender’s new Pro Series of in-ear monitors are here to help musicians hear the true sound of their instrument in any situation. Relying on over 70 years of excellence in instrument and audio tool development, Fender’s five new In-ear-monitor models offer state-of-the-art audio technology that allows users to perform with a consistent, superior, dialed-in mix in the studio, nightclub and any other environment.
Each model is greatly equipped with custom-designed drivers, and the FXA7 and FXA6 both feature a patented Hybrid-Dynamic tuned Balances Armature Array for a rich, full frequency response with substantial bass and an overall superior sound.
The new Fender in-ear-monitors also eliminate up to 22dB of ambient noise, and also eliminate undesirable interference whilst protecting a listener’s hearing from the overbearing noise that can occur in live environments. As well as removing these obvious noise factors, they also block out any other nuances such as details in the strings, the changing strumming patterns and the tone of your voice.
In addition to sound quality, each model is manufactured using 3D-printed Digital Hybrid Technology and are specially designed to fit a huge variety of ear shapes and offer comfort and stability even during the most active live performances. Each model includes a deluxe carry case, 1/4 inch adapter, SureSeal tips, cleaning tool and a detachable cable.
These stunning range of in-ear-monitors are now available to order for November!

Province Invites ITDC to Develop and Manage 600-hectare Site in West Buleleng, Bali
NusaBali reports that Bali’s Deputy Governor and Gubernatorial candidate, Ketut Sudikerta, has criticized the imbalance in development between Bali’s North and South.
Sudikerta’s comments were made and a “healthy walk” event” recently conducted by a State-owned Enterprise (BUMN) in Nusa Dua.
In an effort to encourage development in Bali’s North, Sudikerta is offering a 600-hectare piece of acreage owned by the Province in West Buleleng to the Indonesian Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC).
The ITDC operates the highly successful ITDC Complex at Nusa Dua.
Sudikerta said a commitment is needed to develop North Bali. In conjunction with plans to develop the 600-hectare seaside complex in the Island’s North, the Government is also planning on a toll road connecting North Bali – South Bali – East Bali – West Bali.
The President Director of ITDC, Abdulbar M. Mansour, gave a positive response to Sudikerta’s proposal, saying: “We are very interested proven by the promise of Bali’s South. What’s more, the market in North Bali is still wide open. What’s important is to finalize the legal formalities first.”
In the past, there have been legal disputes surrounding the 600-hectare site in Buleleng.

Think about your first time behind the wheel. Plenty has changed about cars since you learned to drive, including GPS systems and the mobile device that shouldn’t distract you. However, the surface you drive on just hasn’t kept up. Asphalt is stuck in the stone age.
An Idaho startup, Solar Roadways, believes that it’s time to change that. Why doesn’t pavement generate power from the sun that beats down on it all day? With LED lights built in, roads could become emergency signs, warning of a wreck around the bend. And an integrated heating element could melt snow and ice, rendering salt and snowplows superfluous.
Solar Roadways promises all that and more — like no more potholes (or pothole repair crews causing backups.) And the company has attracted an astonishing amount of attention online. One of its videos was viewed more than 16 million times over the last month, and a “crowd-funding” campaign on the site Indiegogo has pulled in more than $2 million.
While the concept clearly catches the imagination, most people who have researched, funded, or tried to roll out solar projects will tell you that surface streets and freeways are probably the last places they would want to deploy solar panels. “This seems like one of the longest putts you could come up with in solar,” says Ian Bowles, an energy investor at Windsail Capital and former energy official in Massachusetts and Washington. — Full Story at Boston Globe —

I don't normally order puddings in Chinese restaurants. Or Indian ones for that matter. In fact, I tend to concur with Jeffrey Steingarten, who argued that Asian desserts taste as if they belong more properly in a lady's bathroom cabinet.
But, you see, I got myself this gig doing restaurant reviews and when you do that, you need to cover the menu. Deep-fried fruit salad sounded the least bad option, and the meal had, up to that point, been really rather good. As expected, the DFFS appeared to be some kind of fritter, and I cut into it with polite interest, if not quite enthusiasm.
"I'm not going mad, am I?"
Small Boo, to her credit, avoided the obvious retort.
"What's wrong?" she asked, feigning interest with great aplomb.
"I've got a horrible feeling that this is a crabstick."
"In your pudding?"
"In my pudding. It's meant to be a deep-fried fruit salad."
"Is there fruit?"
"Yes, there's fruit. Tinned fruit. I'm not sure what this sauce is. Cheese?"
"Yes, I thought it might be, but I didn't like to say. I'm eating a crabstick and tinned fruit and mayonnaise fritter. For pudding."
The maitre d' was summoned. Hugely apologetic (and especially mortified when he discovered that I was meant to be writing the meal up), he explained the error. The fritter rather resembled a similar one from the dim sum menu. So a crabstick-tinned-fruit-mayonnaise fritter wasn't exactly a mistake - it was just in the wrong place.
"So what should have been in there?" asked Small Boo. "As a dessert?"
"The same," explained the man. "But no crabstick."
"And no mayonnaise, presumably."
"Oh yes, mayonnaise," he said. "That's how they like it in Hong Kong."
Sorry, there's no glorious punchline to this one. Except to record, for posterity, the fact that I ate a crabstick, tinned fruit and mayonnaise fritter for pudding and survived to tell the tale.
(It was horrible, by the way.)

Butlins, Fun & Dancing
We headed out in the minibus to Lynmouth, admiring the breathtaking scenery along the way. At Lynmouth we walked along the river edge until we reached the coastline with spectacular views over the sea.
In the evening we danced and sang the night away to Freddie Mercury, Sir Elton Jogn andThe Beatles tribute band!
The entertainment team put on an amazing pantomime, Cinderella Rocks, which provided us with lots of laughs. We were amazed at how they remembered all their dance routines!
We couldn’t wait to go to the bowling alley for a few games of tenpin bowling. Two teams battled against each other and both got some fantastic high scores and even managing a few strikes!
At the adventure mini golf we had a great time putting our way through this fun course.
Bursting with excitement we couldn't wait to try all the rides at the fairground. We went on the swing ride, carousel, bumper cars, waltzers and the umbrella ride.
Another day we headed to the West Somerset Railway for a trip on the Steam Train to Watchet. The journey was fabulous with the group admiring the beautiful countryside and views along the way. At Watchet, we took a relaxing stroll from the station down into the harbour. We visited the small but informative museum and managed to walk up to the lighthouse and admire the stunning views.

Should I Lose More Weight Before My Tummy Tuck?
Q: Dr. Eppley, I have lost 65 lbs over the past year through diet and exercise. At 5’4” and 180 lbs, my BMI still says I am obese. I would really like to go ahead and have my abdominal apron removed now because I am sick of it, it makes me look bad and gets in the way of me exercising. Should I lose more weight before having the surgery or just go ahead and have the apron removed now? I know doctors like to have your BMI below 30 before surgery so I am not sure what to do. I have attached some pictures of my gross stomach for you to see.
A: The timing of when to do an abdominal panniculectomy/tummy tuck in the course of one’s weight loss is a common one. There are no absolute guidelines other than the more weight loss the better. BMI is a useful measurement but it is still just a number. What counts is the size of your pannus, what the rest of your body looks like, and how your weight loss is progressing. Many patients with abdominal pannuses ‘hit the wall’ so to speak in their weight loss and the size and weight of the pannus becomes limiting at that point. Based on the pictures you have shown, I think you would be best served by moving ahead now with your abdominal panniculectomy procedure. Your body is not that big compared to the size of the pannus. You would look and feel so much better if it were removed. This would make it easier to function and exercise and you would be more likely to lose weight if you desire after its removal than with where you are currently.

I’d like to talk to you for a moment about Jabon. The first really musical moments of the night came from Jabon, when I went to Neumos last week to catch Avey Tare touring for Cows on Hourglass Pond. I’ve spent almost a week now thinking of ways to describe this guy and the set he performed, but every time I think I’ve got something, the words curdle on my fingers and fail to convey the sheer totality of that experience… Hmm.
Suffice to say: Jabon was like if Oneohtrix Point Never’s Garden of Delete stuff was really just a Tim and Eric bit. He was like Neil Cicierega doing Autechre remixes. Jabon was like this:
Mixed with some of the dancing in this:
The man came out on stage wearing full black and yellow face paint, a literal wizard’s robe, and shiny silver pants. He spent a not-insignificant portion of his set reading from his “Death Book” and listing off types of noodles; the crowd was literally going crazy for this.
Strange to say, but I really don’t know if I’ve ever seen a solo artist work a crowd with such assurance and glee as Jabon did that night — it was sure as hell the first time I’ve seen a crowd demand an encore from the show’s opening act. By the end of the set, I was pretty literally dumbfounded by the music and dancing I’d just experienced, because I’ve literally never seen anything like it.
As a recording project and performance art piece, Jabon seems to have existed since at least 1986. Anyways…
Avey Tare walked on knowing he was following a pretty big act and carried himself accordingly: pleasantly surprising was the inclusion of fellow Animal Collective member Deakin in the band. If there was any one thing that Avey’s performance did for me, it was the illustration of where Cows fits in the wider world of AnCo and related projects: despite having an almost classicist approach to psychedelic production as a studio album, the Cows material sounded almost like Feels leftovers, the way Avey had arranged them live. Fittingly, when someone in the crowd shouted a request for “The Purple Bottle,” Avey hesitated; kinda seemed like he was really thinking about it for a second.
As someone who’s been chasing and missing them on tour since the Centipede Hz days, it was honestly such a trip to see anything Animal Collective live, and in a lot of ways I definitely think Avey Tare delivered in all the ways I thought he would. He’s a bit shorter in person though.
