Bazinga! It's a crossover only Sheldon and Leonard can explain: Young Sheldon will cross paths with The Big Bang Theory. The space-time continuum will bed at the will of Sheldon Cooper.
Details about the crossover, which will see Young Sheldon's young Sheldon, Iain Armitage, his TV dad Lance Barber and TV bro Montana Jordan appear in character on The Big Bang Theory. How do they get there? That is the question only Sheldon Cooper can answer. Dream? An experiment gone awry?
The crossover was bound to happen with Big Bang Theory in its 12th and final season.
The Big Bang Theory has featured adult and older versions of Young Sheldon characters before. Laurie Metcalf plays Sheldon's mother on Big Bang, her real-life daughter Zoe Perry plays her on Young Sheldon, Jerry O'Connell plays Sheldon's brother on Big Bang and Courtney Henggeler plays Sheldon's sister Missy on Big Bang with Raegan Revord taking on the role in Young Sheldon. The crossover will air in December, no other details are being released at this time.
Young Sheldon takes place years prior to Big Bang, following 9-year-old Sheldon Cooper entering high school. Jim Parsons executive produces and narrates the single-camera comedy spinoff.
The Big Bang Theory airs Thursdays, 8 p.m., and Young Sheldon follows at 8:30 p.m. on CBS.


About Smithereen Farm
We have our lease in Schooner Cove, just next to Reversing Falls in Cobscook Bay. Washington County. Maine.
We are the northeasternmost oyster and seaweed farm in the USA, we have 22 foot tides! We also raise organic veggies, wild blueberries, strawberries, fruit orchard-- we make everything we can into value added products that you can buy on our website www.smithereenfarm.com
We grow out native oysters (Crassostrea virginican) and a native kelp (Alaria esculenta) on lines that float between buoys. We believe that small scale, conservation minded, locally owned aquaculture can be a positive player-- and have a SARE grant to explore "alternatives to plastic in aquaculture." Across the world traditional peoples pursue small scale aquaculture using bio-degradable and natural materials. We don't want robotics and large-scale arrays in the ocean, the whales already have enough to deal with
Please learn about our action research project: www.seaweedcommons.org.
We love algae!! and the ecosystem in the littoral zone.
Our water in Maine is relatively clean, a good place to eat algae from. But in places where waterways are compromised, like near cities, in harbors, downstream from intensive agriculture-- growing algae can have a different role-- sucking up phosphorus, nitrogen and frankly heavy metals. By growing seaweed on jute, agave, hemp and other natural fibers-- that algae can be brought back onto the land and used in compost, for street trees, for roadside plantings, and vegetative strategies that help absorb runoff and rainwater where it falls, infiltrating it so it doesn't become runoff. This helps recharge the groundwater, and of course more native vegetation is good for urban shading, habitat for many species, slowing wind and dust. If we heal the land upstream, we heal the water downstream.
Projects like the Billion Oyster project are very important because they show that restoration aquaculture has a major role to play-- but we worry that plans for large-scale " Carbon Projects" being proposed in BC, in Australia, even on the coast of Maine are putting untested large-infrastructures into globally significant marine habitats, Our ocean is stressed, putting more stressors into pristine places feels less helpful.

Zimbardo Research Paper The Stanford Prison Experiment was a study conducted in 1971 by Dr. Phillip Zimbardo. According to Dr. Steve Taylor (2007), “It’s probably the best known psychological study of all time.” (Classic Studies in Psychology, 2007). Zimbardo stated that the point was to see what would happen if he put “really good people in a bad place” (Dr. Zimbardo, 2007). He did this during a time were most college students were protesting for peace and were against anything authoritarian. The experiment contained both positive and negative aspects; which will be discussed further in this paper.

Safeguards have been put in place to reduce the likelihood of ethical concerns arising in research studies to protect the participants and the good standing of experiments or research. Although some of the safeguards are too strict and can interfere with research; there are some experiments that could use sterner regulations. Participants should be given the opportunity to leave the experiment as soon as they no longer feel comfortable. It is also important to remain upfront and honest about the research. Many experiments require participants not to know what the research is observing, however; it is unethical to use dishonestly to lure people into agreeing to participate. Questionnaires

Multicast protocols are required to implement data forwarding on a multicast network. Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) is the most widely used multicast protocol that forwards data between devices in the same domain. Protocol Independent Multicast-Dense Mode (PIM-DM) is one type of PIM.
PIM-DM mainly uses the flood-prune mechanism to implement multicast data forwarding. Specifically, PIM-DM floods a multicast flow to all network segments and then prunes the network segments on which no receivers want the flow. PIM-DM periodically performs flood-prune operations to build up and maintain a shortest path tree (SPT) that connects a multicast source and multicast receivers. Then, PIM-DM forwards multicast data along this unidirectional loop-free SPT. PIM-DM applies to small-scale networks on which multicast receivers are densely located. PIM-DM is not a good choice for large-scale networks because the flood-prune period will be long on such a network. PIM-DM neither suits for networks with sparsely located receivers because excessive Prune messages will be generated on such a network.
This section provides basic PIM-DM concepts. See Figure 1.
A multicast router that supports PIM is called a PIM device. A PIM-enabled interface on a PIM device is called a PIM interface.
A shortest path tree (SPT) is a multicast distribution tree (MDT) with the multicast source at the root and group members at leaves. SPTs can be used in PIM-DM, Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM), and Protocol Independent Multicast-Source-Specific Multicast (PIM-SSM) scenarios.
By default, a PIM device permits other PIM control messages or multicast messages from a neighbor, irrespective of whether the PIM device has received Hello messages from the neighbor. However, if a PIM device has the neighbor check function enabled, the PIM device permits other PIM control messages or multicast messages from a neighbor only after the PIM device has received Hello messages from the neighbor.
PIM-DM assumes that at least one multicast group member exists on each network segment, and floods multicast data to all routers on the network. Therefore, all PIM devices on the network can receive multicast data.
After flooding multicast data, PIM-DM prunes network segments that have no multicast data receiver and retains only the network segments that have multicast data receivers. Only PIM devices that require multicast data can receive multicast data.
If a downstream device is in the prune state, the upstream device maintains a prune timer for this device. When the prune timer expires, the upstream device resumes data forwarding to the downstream device, which wastes network resources. To prevent this problem, the state-refresh function can be enabled on the upstream router. This function enables the upstream router to periodically send State-Refresh messages to refresh the status of the prune timers of downstream devices. Downstream devices that do not require multicast data remain in the prune state.
If a node on a pruned network segment has new group members, PIM-DM uses the graft mechanism to enable the node to immediately forward multicast data.
If there are multiple PIM devices on a network segment, the same multicast packets are sent repeatedly across the network segment. The Assert mechanism can be used to select a unique multicast data forwarder, preventing redundant multicast data forwarding.
The detailed PIM-DM implementation process is as follows:
This mechanism is the same as that in PIM-SM. For details about this mechanism, see PIM-SM.
The following example uses the network shown in Figure 2 to describe the flooding function. The source sends a data packet to DeviceA. Then DeviceA floods the packet to all its neighbors. DeviceB and DeviceC also exchange data packets with each other. To prevent data duplication, PIM-DM capable DeviceB uses the reverse path forwarding (RPF) mechanism to ensure that it only permits data packets from one neighbor, DeviceA or DeviceC. (For details about RPF check, see RPF Check.) Finally, data is flooded to DeviceB with receivers, as well as DeviceC without receivers. This process is called flooding.
The following example uses the network shown in Figure 3 to describe the prune function. DeviceC has no receivers, so it sends a Prune message upstream to DeviceA to instruct DeviceA to stop forwarding data to the interface connected to DeviceC. After receiving the Prune message, DeviceA stops forwarding data to the downstream interface connected to DeviceC. This process is called pruning.
Because a downstream interface on DeviceA is connected to DeviceB that has a receiver, DeviceA forwards multicast data to the downstream interface connected to DeviceB. In this manner, a unidirectional and loop-free SPT is set up from the source to User A.
The following example uses the network shown in Figure 3 to describe the state refresh function. After DeviceA prunes the network segment of DeviceC, DeviceA maintains a prune timer for DeviceC. When the prune timer expires, DeviceA resumes data forwarding to DeviceC. This results in a waste of network resources.
The state refresh function can prevent this problem and works as follows: DeviceA periodically floods State-Refresh messages to all its downstream interfaces to reset the prune timers of all the downstream devices.
The following example uses the network shown in Figure 4 to describe the graft function. After DeviceC in the pruned state receives an IGMP Report message from user B, DeviceC uses the graft function to implement fast data forwarding, without waiting a flood-prune period. The graft function works as follows:
DeviceC sends a Graft messages upstream to require DeviceA to restore the forwarding status of the downstream interface connected to DeviceC. After restoring the forwarding the status, DeviceA sends multicast data to DeviceC. Therefore, the graft function implements rapid data forwarding for devices in the pruned state.
Either of the following conditions indicates other multicast forwarders are present on the network segment:
A multicast packet fails the RPF check.
The interface that receives the multicast packet is a downstream interface in the (S, G) entry on the local router.
If other multicast forwarders are present on the network segment, the router starts the Assert mechanism.
The router sends an Assert message through the downstream interface. The downstream interface also receives an Assert message from a different multicast forwarder on the network segment. The destination address of the multicast packet in which the Assert message is encapsulated is 220.127.116.11. The source address of the packet is the downstream interface address. The TTL value of the packet is 1. The Assert message carries the route cost from the PIM device to the source or RP, priority of the used unicast routing protocol, and the group address.
The router that runs a higher priority unicast routing protocol wins.
If the routers have the same unicast routing protocol priority, the router with the smaller route cost to the source wins.
If the routers have the same priority and route cost, the router with the highest IP address for the downstream interface wins.
The router performs the following operations based on the Assert election result:
If the router wins the election, the downstream interface of the router is responsible for forwarding multicast packets on the network segment. The downstream interface is called an Assert winner.
If the router does not win the election, the downstream interface is prohibited from forwarding multicast packets and is deleted from the downstream interface list of the (S, G) entry. The downstream interface is called an Assert loser.
After Assert election is complete, only one upstream router that has a downstream interface exists on the network segment, and the downstream interface transmits only one copy of each multicast packet. The Assert winner then periodically sends Assert messages to maintain its status as the Assert winner. If the Assert loser does not receive any Assert messages from the Assert winner after the timer of the Assert loser expires, the loser re-adds downstream interfaces for multicast data forwarding.
The following example uses the network shown in Figure 5 to describe the assert function. DeviceB and DeviceC can receive multicast packets from the multicast source and the multicast packets that pass the RPF check. (S, G) entries can be created on DeviceB and DeviceC. Because the downstream interfaces of DeviceB and DeviceC are connected to the same network segment, DeviceB and DeviceC can both send multicast data to the network segment. The assert function is used to ensure that only one multicast data forwarder exists on the network segment. The assert process is as follows:
DeviceB receives a multicast packet from DeviceC through a downstream interface, but this packet fails the RPF check and is discarded by DeviceB. At the same time, DeviceB sends an Assert message to the network segment.
DeviceC compares its routing information with that carried in the Assert message sent by DeviceB. DeviceC is denied because the route cost from DeviceB to the source is lower. The downstream interface of DeviceC is prohibited from forwarding multicast packets and deleted from the downstream interface list of the (S, G) entry.
DeviceC receives a multicast packet from DeviceB through the network segment, but the packet fails the RPF check and therefore is discarded.

St Paul’s was founded by St James church – the first Anglican parish church in Vancouver – as a mission to serve the railway workers moving into Yaletown at the end of the nineteenth century. The new parish was centred upon the West End, where it became a thriving community with roots in the British Isles. One hundred and thirty years later, St Paul’s has grown out of its roots and is now a radical and forward-looking parish that serves the diverse and vibrant community in which it is situated.
Read Peace be to the whole community: The story of St Paul’s in the West End. Part 1 Building the House of the Lord describes how the early parishioners built a church and a parish hall and used them as means of growth and expansion. Part 2 Gathering the Community, recounts how the parish has responded to changing circumstances and new challenges.

- Jackline has been given a full scholarship at Jan's International School in Kisumu courtesy of well-wishers from Inuka Pamoja Initiative
- The youngster from Kisumu's Seme area met her sponsors, and they expressed willingness to help her sister who dropped out of school due to poverty
- Jackline's mom is battling stage four cancer and is admitted to a Kisumu hospital; well-wishers can donate towards her treatment via 0714907084
It is a new year and many are thankful for the new page in life and Jackline, a 12-year-old girl from Seme, Kisumu county is among those who are filled with gratitude for the fresh slate in life.
Aileen's Christmas gift
Jackline's story broke the hearts of many last week when TUKO.co.ke highlighted her plight and that of her ailing mother who has been bedridden and over bleeding due to cervical cancer.
Before Christmas, Kisumu child model Princess Aileen Akinyi had conducted a charity drive and Jackline's family was among the beneficiaries of some 'little unga'. The donation was timely as the poor family was staring at the ugly face of starvation.
Jan's International School
Fast-forward to one week later, the young girl has been offered a scholarship at Jan's International School in Kisumu where she will proceed with her high school education.
The scholarship is courtesy of Inuka Pamoja Initiative which has committed to cater to all the needs of the little girl, who one week ago could not afford a smile.
"We thank God for bringing us this far. I thank TUKO family for making sure this story has gone viral. Jackie Now has the assistance that she needed. Thanks, Princess, for sharing the story. I call upon Kenyans to help this family in whatever way you are capable. We want the mother to get treatment," said Evans Okal, the program manager at Inuka Pamoja Initiative.
The young girl, last week, wrote a touching letter to Princess thanking her for the food she donated to them ahead of Christmas saying "I had missed ugali".
Ambassador of philanthropy
On her part, Princess Aileen, who was recently named the brand ambassador of philanthropy in Kisumu county, Jackiline's story had broken her to the core but the development had made it a highlight in her life.
"It has been a great experience in my life. Thanks to everyone who has supported me to come this far," said Aileen.
Jackline and Aileen met the sponsors from Inuka Pamoja Initiative on Monday, January 2, 2023.
Jackline's mother, who has been battling cervical cancer, which has since progressed to stage 4, has been admitted to Kisumu District Hospital.
She still needs specialised care and has pleaded with charitable Kenyans to donate or even contact them on 0714907084.
Inuka Pamoja Initiative has expressed willingness to also help Jackline's elder sister rejoin school.

If you are an adult thinking about the treatment options for attaining your teeth straightened then you are lucky because we have many available methods to consider to resolve a big range of feasible orthodontic problems. Whether have recently witnessed a change in the placement of your teeth, you had braces earlier in life, or you have an overbite which is causing discomfort, many adults are looking for Teeth straightening Treatment solutions than ever before.
Tooth alignment options for adults exclusively range from conventional metal braces all the way to hidden straightening aligners, having choices depending upon the kind of problems you require to resolve. Certainly, there are pros and cons with every option, and your professional orthodontist will be competent to guide you to the option that’s finest for you and your requirements.
Let’s have a look at several options, the pros & cons linked with them, and the way to talk to your professional dentist to get the answers you wanted.
Why Progressively More Adults Are Choosing a Straighter and Pleasing Smile
With the rising interest in well being and health, more individuals are taking a serious note on their dental health. With clear aligner choices for example Invisalign, it is more attractive than ever for adults to ultimately be able to have lovely straighter teeth, after many years of waiting. For several adults, they may have wanted or needed braces at a younger age, however didn’t have the economic freedom to attain them.
Due to all of the available options for teeth straighteners and braces now, more adults are choosing precise orthodontic treatment.
Benefits of Physical Health
Teeth straightening treatment is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it is healthier too. When your valuable teeth are spaced very far apart, your gums can get red & inflamed. Perversely, if your teeth are over crowded or crooked, they can be hard to clean, leading to tooth decay and plaque build up. Thus, straightening your smile can lessen health risks and perk up the oral hygiene.
Improved Self-Esteem and Appearance
Its makes sense that a lot of people want to improve their appearance by doing good with their smile. Teeth sraightening Treatment for a perfect smile can change your facial appearance amazingly. Our appearance can contribute very much on how we feel about ourselves & how we look socially, so having a confident feeling with your appearance can assist our self-esteem to fly. Having a great looking and healthy smile improves your confidence in social situations as well as professional settings.
Teeth Shift Over Time
While a lot of teenagers and children are seen as candidates for aligners and braces, there are some reasons why adults might require their teeth to be straightened, too. Over the years, teeth can move into new spaces and crowded teeth or overlapping can be difficult to clean in the daily brushing.
Several adults that may have possessed braces at the time of their childhood may see their teeth got shifted with the time for various reasons. No matter the reason, this enables plaque to build-up & can cause tooth decay and/or gum disease with the time.
Resolve Jaw Problems
Braces are another solution for the jaw issues. When the teeth don’t arise together appropriately — such as a major underbite or overbite — when the jaws close, this builds a “bad bite” (professionals call it malocclusion) and it can arise issues when swallowing or chewing. Of course, a lot of adults may also look fir teeth straightening aligners for the specific cosmetic reasons. Your precious smile is a key part of your self-confidence. For a lot of patients, teeth straighteners can perfectly solve all of these problems.
At the Flemington Dental Care, we offer comprehensive treatment for bite issues and misaligned teeth as well as jaws. We provide a free initial examination to find out your requirement, create a treatment plan & outline the cost estimate.

When we think of improving our hair, skin + nails we automatically think we need to get a vitamin and head to Amazon. However, beauty truly does start from within, especially with what you eat. Your skin and body are always a reflection of what you’re putting in your body.
The food we ingest does affect our hair, skin, and nails…sharing a few that are worth putting on your plate!
Salmon/fatty fish- Rich in biotin, a nutrient that helps promote healthy nail growth and prevents nails from becoming brittle and weak.
Sweet potatoes- Packed with beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Vitamin A promotes keratin production and is essential for skin and nail health.
Eggs- Eggs bring vitamin A, vitamin E, iron, vitamin B7, and vitamin B12 to the table. Protein is an essential part of a hair-healthy diet, a diet insufficient in protein may make hair brittle.
Blueberries- Have the highest antioxidant properties of all fruits and vegetables! In addition to their anti-aging capabilities, blueberries also combat acne.
Oysters- An excellent source of zinc, which is needed for hair growth and tissue repair.
Beans- They’ve got protein, zinc and biotin, which can help make your nails thicker and less prone to splitting!

Sonnet for Señor Rubén Salazar
One projectile and four decades ago,
when the writer fought against death quiet
and slow, (for they say that the end is so:
a stillness of time and place, a not-yet
that occurs to the dying, a no, not
just yet.) And as the voice of refusal
rises again and again to make stop
death’s procedure, the will of the martyr
seizes its newfound purpose; what but death,
cowardly death, accepts vile orders
to squelch the people’s pen by state power?
So close we had come, as close as a breath,
to freedom's center. Above and beneath
we remember him, Señor Salazar.

Bullfighting is a controversial topic to be sure. Both sides have their arsenal of arguments and reasons why they believe the other side is in the wrong and should change. But regardless of stance, I firmly believe that one can only judge something after they understand it. And in this case, that meant experiencing it. Thus I believe that anyone who intends to have strong opinions on it should go to at least one so at least their judgments are educated and based on first hand experience.
And we did just that. Bullfighting is quite the cultural activity. It is not just a free-for-all against a bull. It is a very organized ancient dance with impending death. It is a dance, an art form, which brings Spaniards together in a very traditional way. Is it a bit barbaric? Of course. Even those who enjoy the sport, like my host mother, can’t deny that it is a bit gruesome. But that is not the reason they love it. Contrary to some beliefs, it isn’t that blood or the animal cruelty that draws people in. There is something there, right under the surface that an untrained eye may not pick up if they are too focused on what they are seeing. Bullfighting represents courage, an inevitable fight with death, and the overcoming of the struggles and hardships of mortality. In fact, we had the fortune to sit next to the section of hard core fans. They began to whistle and boo when the fight took too long because they thought they were making the bull suffer unnecessarily. Often when the torero goes in to place the sword in the heart, they miss and hit the lungs. This leads to a lot of blood and is also very frowned upon. From these experiences, I can conclude that even the hard core fans are in it for more than the bloodlust and the killing of an animal. An animal that, by the way, will be used for food just like it would have been without being in a ring. And if I was a bull sentenced to death at birth, I’d want to be a bullfighting bull and go down with a fight.
Something rather unique happened during the third bull fight. He was already stumbling right after the picadoras stage and the entire stadium began to clap in a specific 3 count rhythm. Apparently it meant they didn’t think it was a fair fight and they wanted a new bull for the torero. The president of the fight relented and they sent in small herd of female cows to lead that bull out of the arena, something I had never heard of happening and which was very entertaining to watch.
Another thing I’ve learned is that Spaniards are quite passionate. I could go on and on about the small nuances of bullfight because the rules and history are just fascinating. The final torero was obviously a crowd favorite but struggled to place his sword in. On his third try he missed but somehow ended up on the ground as the bull tried his best to end the matador’s life. He was alright but it was a startling reminder that these people are putting their lives in grave danger. It’s reckless and stupid but I suppose that is the right of being human with all our faults and ambitions.

Ravi Cabot-Conyers Wiki Bio
American child actor Ravi Cabot-Conyers was born in New York State, USA on 12 February 2011, so Aquarius is his zodiac sign. He’s played and voiced characters in five movies and five ,TV series, and is perhaps known best for voicing Antonio, one of the lead characters in the 2021 animated family comedy movie “Encanto”, directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard, and which also starred Stephanie Beatriz, Maria Cecilia Botero and John Leguizamo. It follows a teenage girl from Colombia who’s the only one in her family without magical powers, the movie won 50 of its 134 award nominations, including an Oscar win for Best Animated Feature Film.
Education and early life
Ravi and his brother are being raised in New York State by their mother Christina Cabot and father Charles Conyers; Ravi can rarely be heard speaking about his family in interviews, because he respects their privacy, but he’s revealed that they are all highly supportive of his career in the film industry, and that his parents usually drive him to his auditions.
Ravi was only five years old when he made his debut TV series appearance, playing Kid Talking Trump in the 2016 episode “Dave Chappelle/A Tribe Called Quest” of the critically acclaimed musical comedy “Saturday Night Live”; the show has each of its episodes hosted by a celebrity, it’s been airing since 1975, today numbering close to 1,000 episodes, and has won 297 of its 852 award nominations.
Ravi’s appearance in “Saturday Night Live” was the breakthrough he needed, and he’s since been acting; he’s currently attending a local elementary school in New York City, and it’s believed that Ravi’s excelling in math.
Roles in movies
Ravi’s debut film appearance was playing Andrew in the 2017 short drama “HGTV House Hunters Family: When Kids Go House Hunting”, and his following role came in 2019, when cast to portray Deangelo in the popular romantic comedy “Ode to Joy”, directed by Jason Winer, and which starred Martin Freeman, Morena Baccarin and Jake Lacy. It follows librarian Charlie who’s suffering from a neurological disorder which makes him faint whenever he experiences strong emotions, while he’s now fallen in love with Francesca, a girl who frequents his library; the movie’s won two awards.

Hating Alison Ashley
Yes! And then the movie, witn Delta Goodrem as Alison Ashley hahah
Where's looking for Alabrandi?
And Tomorrow, when the war began?
I read this when I was older than the intended audience (in my mid-20s - my mother was a school librarian and often asked me to read some of the popular books so that she could talk to the kids about them (I was a fast reader)).
I loved this series! I tore through the books in about a week or so. Absolutely unputdownable.
I had no clue what the books were about. At first I just thought it was a boring book about some farm kids going camping. Boy was I wrong!
And “Playing Beattie Bow”?
The Haunted Mask was the first Goosebumps I ever read. It scared the shit out of me haha!
The tv series episode of this one fucked me up as a kid. Was absolutely terrified as a 7 year old or whatever I was.
Honestly, even watching it now it's still kind of creepy lol. The girl who played Carly Beth did an excellent job and that mask still looks amazing! And maybe it's just because I watched it as a kid, but the scenes where all the masks come to life and the where the fake head asks for help are still a little unsettling lol.
I still have Came Back to Show You I Could Fly. Great story, love the cover art.
Unauthorised Meg Ryan pic? lol
I always thought it was Meg Ryan and thought the book must had been made into a movie.
So annoying to write about in English class though. I lost marks for using an acronym of the name.
When I was a kid I'd spend the afternoons after school in the public library. There was a "teen" section on an upper level that no one used, so I would hang up there by myself. As an introvert, I was in heaven. I remember all of these covers. Paul Jennings, Babysitters Club, Sweet Valley High, and Roald Dahl were my favourites. Great times.
I loved Robin Klein, I still have a very tattered copy of People Might Hear You.
Oh my gosh, a couple of weeks ago I spent about an hour searching for the name of this book! It made a huge impression in me when I was young. I'd love to read it again with an adult eye.
After I posted my comment, I searched for it on audible, sadly it's not available. I'm going to read my paper copy again for the same reason.
Like her books, but personally I thought that was a crap book
I had 'Unseen' from Paul Jennings
I still think about that story about the kid that clones himself in the copy machine and the twist at the end. It's been 30+ years now!
Round the twist did that episode too.
The one with the eyeball in the clamshell and the face in the cliff on the cover always weirded me out as a kid for some reason
Some of those were too later for me. But I'd throw Playing Beattie Bow and Storm Boy onto that list.
I was a bit too old for Goosebumps by the time I'd heard of them but definitely loved the others. I loved Came Back To Show You I Could Fly - this is the first time I've come across anyone else who read it!
Apart from that one, these are probably a bit juvenile for teenagers though. I read them all in primary school.
I had to read Came Back To Show You I Could Fly from school, I just can't remember what grade/year I was in.
We also did Two Weeks With The Queen?
I commented myself, but Came Back TO Show You I Could Fly is one of my ALL TIME favourite books. I still have my copy from when I was like 10 years old. That book has been through hell and back with me, including 22 years of heroin addiction, and I still re-read it at least once a year.
Oh wow, that's amazing. I'm pretty sure I still have my copy too but I haven't read it since I was maybe 12 or 13. I should get it out again and reread.
I was obsessed with the baby sitters club and the little sister series in the mid 2000s but they were always so hard to find back then but I was surprised to see them on sale in Big W and Aldi a few weeks ago . I also loved Hating Allison Ashley but hated the movie with Delta Goodrem
C’mon, where’s Tomorrow When the War Began?
Half decent movie, books were better though. I don't remember ever finishing the series though.
Paul Jennings' autobio is really great. Such a sweet but troubled dude.
Well I'm a dude so Babysitters Club didn't feature in my collection, but I did have all the Paul Jennings, a heap of Goosebumps and the other good Glietzman ones too - Misery Guts and Worry Warts.
Oh and the Roald Dahl books like Matilda, The Witches, BFG…
Many Australian 30 year olds still do haha
Still remember my brother telling me that the Haunted Mask was going to come out of the book and consume me while i slept and for like 2 years after i refused to sleep with ANY Goosebumps book in my room.
Of course, it didn't help when i saw the TV show and it had all the Masks coming to live and chasing that girl lmao. Couldn't sleep after that.
Does anyone remember reading a book called “Games” or something? Front cover had a girl running through a Forrest with a haunted type mansion in the back ground. Read it in year 6, didn’t really understand the premise but bassically some kids are stuck in an old house and spooky things start happening and they’re trying to figure out if it’s ghosts or someone playing tricks on them.
I only recall it because it had swear words in it lol.
Games by Robin Klein? I had that book.
I still have these books.
Same! I have the first 100 or so Baby-sitters club. Adult me cannot believe 13 year olds had so much freedom.
I was obsessed with them and had all of the series and the white (?) books - I think they were Holiday series? I wish I could go back to those days and enjoy books like I used to.
Does anyone remember Robin Klein's "Junk Castle" where neighbourhood kids build an illegal cubby on the patch of grass in the middle of a roundabout, I loved this book as was very reflective of my own childhood.
And the collab between Paul Jennings, Terry Denton and Ted Greenwood "Spooner or Later" which had 'Spoonerisms' in a Where's Wally style format.
Came Back To Show You I Could Fly is one of my ALL TIME favourite books. I re-read it at least once a year, usually when I'm having a bad day. It's such an incredibly well written book. And as someone who spent 22 years as a heroin addict, the books portrayal of heroin addiction is really well done.
I'm going to have to read it, I never did as a teenager (I think maybe because I thought the story would be too sad).
Its a really beautiful book. It is really happy, despite the subject matter. The friendship between Angie and Seymour is absolutely delightful, you can tell that they care for each other greatly. And it's not revealed until the very end that she's a heroin addict. There are little clues throughout the book, but it's not actually verified until the end.
I'm going to re-read it this week, now.
Have you ever?
The cover of Came Back to Show you I Could Fly confused me for years and years. When I had the book, there was no internet (like we know it today) so I couldn't look up why Meg Ryan was on the cover. It must be a movie as well I figured.
Years later I remembered the cover but couldn't remember the book. Some torturous hail mary googling eventually led me back to the book and the revelation that it IS 'Meg Ryan' on the cover, but only because the cover artist used her as inspiration. She has no association with the book and there is no film version with her in it.
I loved Goosebumps as a kid. I used to pack them all in my bag and take them to primary school and stack them on my desk like it was a status symbol.
They actually inspired me to write a goosebumps-inspired, Australian middle grade series called Van Diemen's Valley
You can find it on Amazon and online like Booktopia and most Tassie bookstores.
Also, where is Staying Alive in Year 5? I remember our teacher deciding whether or not to say "pissed" and they actually did. First swear from a teacher in my life.

Chelsea youngster Trevor Chalobah has scored a delightful goal for loan club Huddersfield Town in the Championship tonight.
Watch below as the 20-year-old does brilliantly to evade the Cardiff City defence before unleashing a low and powerful left-footed effort from outside the penalty area.
If Chalobah can carry on like this at Huddersfield this season, he’s surely got every chance of becoming the next youngster to make a first-team breakthrough at Stamford Bridge.
Frank Lampard has shown a willingness to use academy players such as Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham this term, and Chalobah looks another Chelsea player with a big future.

The most recent Morning Consult poll found that most people who might vote in the Republican primary don’t like former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
Christie has had the biggest number of people who don’t like him in the GOP race for weeks. But this week’s numbers show that not only are people less likely to like the presidential candidate, but 51 percent of people don’t like him at all. Just 25% of people like Christie, which gives him a net positive grade of -26.
Christie keeps criticizing the former president, and he even said lately that he is “really concerned” regarding Trump’s “mental health.”
When asked about Trump’s attacks on the Newsmax TV show The Balance, Christie stated:
“I don’t agree with what Donald Trump did during the 2020 presidential race. I don’t agree with the way he has acted since the event. It is bad for the nation as a whole, in my opinion. I don’t think it fits with the position he held. But when an individual says things like that about someone who backed him in 2016, helped him get ready for the debates with Hillary Clinton, backed him in 2020, and helped him get ready for the debates with Joe Biden, I wonder how all that could have happened if I was so useless, stupid, and crazy.”
“How sad. He’s under a great deal of stress and pressure, and hearing him say these things worries me about his mental health.”
Former Vice President Mike Pence is the second least-liked choice, with 37% of people saying they don’t like him. Overall, though, his positive rate is still above water, as opposed to Christie’s, as 51% of people still like the former vice president.
One thing that both of these candidates have in common, though, is that they continue to say bad things about Trump. In August, Pence stated to CNN that Trump basically asked him to place him ahead of the Constitution and throw out the results of the election, which Trump disputed.
Notably, an additional Trump critic, former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, also has a positive rate underwater.
Trump is still the most liked candidate, with 76 percent saying they like him. He is the clear leader in the GOP primary race. 65 percent of people said the same thing about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and 22 percent of people don’t like either of the two presidential candidates.
This part of the poll was done from September 7-10, 2023, with 818 people who might vote in the Republican primary. It has a range of variation of +/- 4%.

Concern over rapid global changes and the potential for interactions among multiple threats are prompting scientists to combine multiple modelling approaches to understand impacts on biodiversity. A relatively recent development is the combination of species distribution models, land‐use change predictions, and dynamic population models to predict the relative and combined impacts of climate change, land‐use change, and altered disturbance regimes on species' extinction risk. Each modelling component introduces its own source of uncertainty through different parameters and assumptions, which, when combined, can result in compounded uncertainty that can have major implications for management. Although some uncertainty analyses have been conducted separately on various model components – such as climate predictions, species distribution models, land‐use change predictions, and population models – a unified sensitivity analysis comparing various sources of uncertainty in combined modelling approaches is needed to identify the most influential and problematic assumptions. We estimated the sensitivities of long‐run population predictions to different ecological assumptions and parameter settings for a rare and endangered annual plant species (Acanthomintha ilicifolia, or San Diego thornmint). Uncertainty about habitat suitability predictions, due to the choice of species distribution model, contributed most to variation in predictions about long‐run populations.

Possibilities are but I asked myself also why Steem is not reacting to the growth of the market. I guess there is not that much demand for Steem nowadays. Last year must have been more users buying Steem and powering up while this year some of time might have powered down and sold their Steem. Probably. I hope that it will recover though because the blockchain is valuable, it has a great use case and also a future. For now seems that mostly the top ten cryptos are on serious gains. Especially XRP. Let's hope Steem will follow.
Of course it's possible steem price could rise just like it is possible the price of steem can fall more. I think steem price will slowly rise over the 2019 year making this current steem price loll a time of opportunity.
We know that Crypto is un-predictable, but in the last 3 or 4 months, steem price is stays below 1 $, and that's a very sad news for all of us, and it is due to the market, It's not just with steem, it is with every alt coin,
Bitcoin is under some dark clouds and when these will go away, it will take every alt coin with himself to the moon, we just need to wait for the right time to happen,
I know a friend who is into Crypto for so long, and he once told me, It's in nature of Crypto that, The more it go down, it come back with stronger and stronger and last year was the example of it, It can take some time, but it will come back and we will steem rising, May be we will have to wait a year.
Figure crossed and hope for the best.

“Re-examining Divestment.” By Isaac Lederman. Nation/Daily Princetonian. March 5, 2013. Change is tough. Sociologist Max Weber famously remarked that “politics is the strong and slow boring of hard boards.” Progress, in other words, does not come easily: One must fight tooth and nail. Sometimes, however, change does come. Consider what happened in the 1980s, when 55 colleges and universities either fully or partially divested from South Africa, which suffered under a cruel apartheid regime. Of this campaign, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a renowned opponent of apartheid, said the following in a New York Times op-ed: “There is no greater testament to the basic dignity of ordinary people everywhere than the divestment movement of the 1980s.” In other words, divestment in no small way contributed to the downfall of the horrific apartheid regime. Though much has changed since then, we unfortunately find ourselves once again embroiled in a fight against a terrible regime. We did not choose this fight: the times demanded it. We saw what havoc Hurricane Sandy wreaked on the Northeast and what hell the wildfires and drought that raged across the nation raised this summer. This does not include the destruction that climate change is causing all over the world. It should come as no surprise then, by the reckoning of economist Sir David Stern, inaction on climate change will cost us 5 percent of global GDP each year, “now and forever.” The situation becomes undoubtedly more troubling in light of the fact that fossil-fuel companies—which, according to one writer, hold “five times as much oil and coal and gas on the books as climate scientists think is safe to burn”—continue to lobby against action on climate change. This is why these firms, with their iron grip on Washington D.C. and capitals around the world, deserve to be a called a regime—and a frightening one at that. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, ExxonMobil, which journalist Steve Coll rightly calls “a private empire,” spent close to $3 million on political activities in 2012 alone. That is to say, there’s a reason why action on climate change has been blocked time and time again. At this point, you might be wondering how you, as a Princeton student, alum, faculty member, staff or parent, are connected to the terrifying beast that is the fossil-fuel industry. The answer is simple: through the endowment.
“Activist Group Condemns Endowment’s Link to Gunmakers.” By Nikita Kansra and Samuel Y. Weinstock. Harvard Crimson. March 8, 2013. A student and alumni activist group criticized Harvard this week for its investment in an index fund that is a major shareholder of firearm manufacturer Smith & Wesson.
The Responsible Investment at Harvard Coalition pointed out the connection in an emailed press release on Tuesday. Although not included in the press release, a second major firearm manufacturer—Sturm, Ruger, & Co., Inc.—is also linked to Harvard through the same index fund. Harvard’s connection to these gunmakers is distant. The Harvard Management Company’s most recent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission indicate no direct holdings in arms manufacturers, but rather an investment in a massive portfolio of companies that represent countless industries in the American economy, including gun manufacturing. HMC manages the University’s $30 billion endowment. In these filings, HMC reported that it has nearly $3 million invested in the iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund—a portfolio of 2,000 American companies. According to financial magazine Barron’s, the Russell 2000 Index Fund is considered to be representative of changes in the broader American economy. Harvard’s investment in the index fund drew attention from Responsible Investment at Harvard because the Russell 2000 is a major shareholder in Smith & Wesson and Sturm, Ruger, & Co., Inc., which are two of the country’s top gun manufacturers. “I think the key takeaway here is that Harvard’s money…is going to support the manufacture and production of assault weapons,” said Nicole E. Granath ’15, co-director of Responsible Investment at Harvard. She added that even though the investment is indirect, any amount of money going to gunmakers is symbolic of support for the industry.

As Chang (2012) points out, "factory work is an informed choice, not a desperate response to poverty. Other studies by Chinese and Western scholars show that migration fuels economic growth, social mobility and the spread of progressive ideas." In her 2009 book Factory Girls, Leslie Chang visits the land of her ancestors to explore the real stories of Chinese factory workers. Chang's ancestors migrated thousands of miles within China, through Taiwan, and eventually ending up in the United States. As the author reflects on the primary subject of contemporary Chinese factory workers, she places their experiences in the context of historical and global population migrations. People migrate for a number of different reasons. Finance is, of course, a primary driver of population migration. Where there is no work and opportunity, residents are often forced to move elsewhere. Yet there are also other reasons for population migration such as personal ambition to extricate oneself from village life and the social, economic, and political oppression that it often entails. Many of the factory workers that Chang (2009) meets and introduces in Factory Girls sought new horizons, opportunities, and worldviews when they left their respective villages for Dongguan. Americans generally view Chinese factory workers with pity, notes Chang (2009), but those factory workers should instead be viewed with the same respect and admiration offered to the forebears of modern-day Americans who also dealt with incredible hardship.
Factory Girls highlights the structural issues associated with population migration and migrant labor, and intermittently discusses the implications of migrant labor pools on the global market economy. Viewed also with an eye for the big picture of history, Factory Girls shows how China's current economic, political, and social affairs are not necessarily stagnant. In fact, the very women profiled in Factory Girls are the ones that are changing the future of the nation and possibly the world. The women profiled in Factory Girls are not victims. Quite the opposite, these women have taken their lives in their own hands in a bold display of self-determination and verve. The women are ambitious, and future-focused.
Chang divides the book into two main sections, "The City," and "The Village." The comparison allows the reader to draw conclusions about the reasons for population migration within China. City life in places like Dongguan is not easy. The life of a factory laborer can be especially trying, with cramped living quarters, unsafe working conditions at the factories, and long, grueling hours for little pay. However, the life the factory workers left behind in the villages is no less tiring, unsafe, or uncomfortable. Comparing the village with the city allows Chang (2009) to drive home the central idea that it is critical to keep an open mind and when exploring issues related to factory labor in China.
What Chang (2009) suggests is not that China's model works well, or that the system should not be changed to accommodate for workers' rights. Chang (2009) does suggest that the system will change, and is changing, as the workforce achieves upward social mobility. As more Chinese people achieve upward social mobility, tremendous changes are bound to take place within the society. Currently, the factories are the best opportunity many rural people have for personal, social, and economic advancement. The stories told in Factory Girls are strongly reminiscent of those told about the early American pioneers who took their covered wagons across thousands of miles of dirt track, venturing into the unknown and often dying as a result.
Chang was a correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, and as such understands fully the business concepts and implications of Chinese factories. Chinese factories occupy a peculiar place in the global market and supply chains. The success of China's economy is linked to the effectiveness of its factories, which, as Chang (2009) points out, is also linked to the business and organizational culture. The worker slogans are designed to create the strong organizational culture and organizational socialization needed for a cohesive workforce, while the strict bureaucracy and hierarchies are integral to the business environment. The culture has a strong power distance, which means that most workers are acculturated to accept the business environment of the factories. Chang (2009) notes, however, that individualism and independent thought are not as completely stifled in China as many Americans believe. Workers who show promise as future leaders can and do emerge from the masses, and are singled out for promotions. The situation is not much different than it would be in an American factory, when the negative issues such as working conditions, are taken out of the equation. Chang (2009) also suggests that the early days of the Industrial Revolution in the United States and Western Europe must have looked a lot like modern China. China may simply have some catching up to do.
Chinese business culture is integral to the functioning of the global market economy, as American businesses often work in tandem with the places described in Factory Girls. It is therefore impossible to view Chinese factories as being distant places unrelated to the American business world. In fact, American companies are intimately connected with their Chinese counterparts and dependent on those Chinese companies for cheap parts, cheap manufacturing locations, and especially for cheap labor. Many American companies would go bankrupt were it not for their Chinese subsidiaries or suppliers. Chinese factories like those described in Factory Girls do raise humanitarian and ethical concerns because of the harsh labor conditions and low job security, but those issues are also dealt with in the United States.
Factory Girls also raises questions about wealth transfer and how it will impact the China of the future. Migrant labor allows for radical and transformative transfers of wealth, as capital shifts from countries like the United States to China, and also as capital shifts from urban to rural regions. Wealth transfer in China will eventually impact all regions of the globe because of how central the Chinese economy is to the rest of the world. There are few places in the world that do not have some type of trade relationship with China, and Chinese businesses are eagerly spreading their tentacles across the globe in search of the raw materials necessary to manufacture things like silicon chips. China is " is no longer just a country for low-cost manufacturing. It is also an increasingly attractive destination to do business," (Kermeliotis, 2011). Doing business in China -- setting up branches of Starbucks or opening a new restaurant -- means understanding Chinese culture and Chinese business culture. One mistake that many Americans make, as Change (2009) and Kermeliotis (2011) point out, is viewing China as a monolith. China is a large and highly diverse society. There is no one Chinese culture, or one Chinese experience. The stories of migrant workers from different parts of China shows how diverse the nation is, and what that means for businesses.
Identifying market trends in China is not what Factory Girls is about. However, the book does forecast some trends in Chinese society. The rapid upward social mobility taking place in China is a direct result of people like those profiled in Factory Girls. As more Chinese people accumulate wealth and possess disposable income, the more able those individuals are to participate in the market as consumers. Those individuals may very well go on to own the means of production themselves, participating fully in the capitalist marketplace.
Capitalism in China has a unique stamp. It may not be the American model, but it remains capitalism nonetheless. Factory Girls is more about social and political issues than about business concepts, although the book does directly pertain to core concerns related to the interface between politics and business. Moreover, Chang (2009) addresses business concepts related to leadership and organizational structure as she details…

Randomized Study Comparing Adjuvant Radiotherapy (RT) with Concomitant Chemotherapy (CT) Versus Sequential Treatment After Conservative Surgery for Patients with Stages I and II Breast Carcinoma
Last Modified: October 9, 2002
Presenter: Gilles. Calais
Presenter's Affiliation: Department of Oncology Radiotherapy, CHU, Tours, France
Type of Session: Scientific
- Both whole breast irradiation and chemotherapy are often indicated after conservative surgery for early stage breast cancer. However, the sequencing of CT and RT after conservative surgery in this group is controversial. Studies have suggested an advantage to give CT followed by RT rather than RT followed by CT because of the high risk of systemic metastases. On the other hand, an increased risk of local recurrence has been observed when radiation is delayed. Several phase II studies have indicated that concomitant administration of the two treatments is feasible using selected drugs that may not have cumulative toxic effects with RT. This study compares (multicenter phase III trial) the efficacy of sequential treatment with CT first followed by RT (arm A) versus CT administered concurrently with RT (arm B) in patients with early stage breast cancer who have undergone conservative surgery with axillary dissection.
- Between February 1996 and April 2000, 706 patients were entered from 28 centers and then stratified according to the axillary status.
- The CT regimen consisted of Mitoxantrone (12 mg/m2), 5FU (500 mg/m2) and Cyclophosphamide (500 mg/2) for 6 cycles of 21 days in both arms. Mitoxantrone was chosen because is the only member of the anthracycline family that does not produces free radicals and therefore has less chances of increasing the toxicity of RT.
- RT delivered 50 Gy in 5 weeks to the whole breast followed by a 10 to 20 Gy boost to the tumor bed with electrons or brachytherapy. The subclavicular area was irradiated when axillary dissection was positive.
- The RT In arm B was delivered concurrently with the first 3 cycles of CT. In arm A, radiation was started 3 to 5 weeks after the 6th cycle of CT.
- Forty four percent of patients were node negative. The 2 arms were equally balanced regarding to age, stage, performance status, histology, hormonal receptors, tumor margins, in situ component and axillary status.
- Mean time to initiate RT was 170 days in arm A and 39 days in arm B (p < 0.0001).
- RT compliance was similar in the 2 arms regarding to total dose, treatment duration and treatment interruption. Treatment interruptions occurred in 18% of patients of each arm.
- Compliance to CT was comparable. The mean relative dose intensity of CT in arm A was 95% and 92% in arm B.
- Grade >1 esophagitis rate was significantly higher in arm B (23% versus 7%) but only a few patients experienced severe esophagitis. Haematologic toxicity (neutrophil count and hemoglobin level) was higher in arm B. Incidence of other acute toxic effects including skin toxicity were similar in the 2 arms.
- The median follow-up of the study is 40 months.
- Two patients developed acute leukemia (one in each arm).
- The local-regional recurrence and disease-free survival rates were respectively 4.3% versus 3.5% and 82% versus 83% in arm A versus B.
- No differences were observed regarding overall survival or the incidence of distant metastases or second primary tumor.
- For node-positive patients the incidence of local recurrence was 7.6% in arm A and 3.8% in arm B (p=0.054).
- The early results suggest that the concomitant administration of CT and RT using selected drugs is slightly difficult because of moderate enhancement of acute toxiciy.
- An advantage of this technique is an overall reduction on treatment time.
- Longer follow-up is needed to determine the impact of this strategy on local control and or survival.
- Although longer follow-up is needed to make conclusions about the role of this strategy on future BCT practices, similar approaches attempting to decrease the overall treatment time and minimizing the delay of consolidative local therapy at the expense of systemic therapy are theoretically appealing and deserve further investigation.
