Following the flurry of the festive season, the New Year is an excellent time to restart, realign and prioritise. That’s why many have already lined up some New Year’s resolutions – planning on joining a gym, spending more time with family, or looking for a new career path. Whatever you wish for yourself, whichever goal you’re writing down in big bold letters; there is one common denominator – an element that connects it all – and that is You!
‘Your health is your wealth’– a proverb that has become more important than ever over the past two years and definitely should remain in everyone’s mind in 2022. Often people confuse being healthy as a state of just being physically fit and usually people assume that fitness and strength are all about building a strong body. It’s equally important to remember that health offers a connection to your overall wellbeing — which includes mental wellbeing.
But here’s the good news: you can train your overall body and mind simultaneously as you train your muscles. Based on recommendations from the World Health Organisation and the American Heart Association, we should do at least 150 active zone minutes each week. With a little help from wearables like fitness trackers and smartwatches, you can easily track these activity targets while supporting your overall health, mental wellbeing, weight management, and even help prevent diseases.
Your mental well-being affects how you feel about all areas of life and how you interact with the world. It impacts your ability to set and fulfil goals, your capacity to build and maintain relationships, and whether you enjoy the ride. In short, learning to prioritise and manage your mental well-being leads to a better quality of life.
According to a South African survey conducted on the behalf of Fitbit by Course5 Intelligence, 50% of respondents consider strength to be a combination of mental and physical traits while 41% defined strength as the ability to deal with the stresses and challenges that life presents in our daily lives.
Strength is all-encompassing and has evolved, in recent times, from humans being in the best shape physically to prioritising both our mental and physical health, listening to our bodies, and thinking about our health holistically.
If you choose to prioritise one thing on your resolution list, it should be your mental health. A growing body of research shows that there are simple steps you can take to recharge your emotional batteries and spark a sense of fulfilment, purpose, and happiness. Reading, meditating, outdoor exercise or taking a short nap are some of the simple activities that can strengthen and sharpen your brain and enhance your mood and reduce stress.
Modern-day wearables from leading brands like Fitbit could also offer a helping hand in achieving one’s New Year resolutions by providing tools to monitor and track your stress levels, sleep, heart rate and by helping you stay fit and energetic.
Advanced features on recently launched smartwatches and fitness trackers include heart health notifications, stress management with EDA sensors, premium program memberships and mindfulness tools. Premium is a Fitbit platform that can also unlock a range of mindfulness sessions from experts including the Deepak Chopra Mindfulness Method or Calm, the #1 App for Sleep, Meditation & Relaxation™ to help prioritise self-care – and could facilitate in helping to manage stress in the comfort of your home.
Through personalised guidance, content and insights, users can take control of their wellbeing and rebuild a routine that nurtures healthier habits and make small changes that will have longer-lasting impacts on their overall wellbeing.
So, make the one re-YOU-lution that matters most to take control of your wellbeing, rebuild a routine that nurtures healthier habits, and make small changes that will have a longer-lasting impact on the whole You.

Organized criminals had once plagued the US and Sicily (Italy). They ran parallel regimes. American writer Mario Pujo wrote his novel “The Godfather” in 1969 and owed more to cinema than literature. In 1972, Francis Ford Coppola in Hollywood made a classic film with the same name. In this, Marilyn Brando played the mafia kingpin and Al Pashino played his son. After this, how many legitimate, illegitimate versions of this film were made around the world, even Mario Pujo had stopped keeping an account of it. Actually, ‘The Godfather’ is such a mine, whose films are still being excavated. The latest film ‘The Power Mvoiew’ is produced by Mahesh Manjrekar. This is a ‘Powerless’ (powerless) film opposite the name. The story is lifeless. The incidents are absurd. The screenplay is so scattered that from the beginning to the end the film echoes. That means a big headache of two and a half hours for the viewers.

In the past too many weak films were made on gang war
Mahesh Manjrekar has also made several weak films on the gangs before. ‘The Power’ is even weaker than them. In it Manjrekar plays himself as a mafia gangster. Hardly anyone has done such a childish parody of Marilyn Brando of ‘The Godfather’. Vidyut Jamwal tried to imitate Al Pashino in the role of his younger son, but it did not work. The daughter of a loyal member of Manjrekar’s gang, Shruti Haasan and Vidyut Jamwal’s juicy love story keep on fighting between the fighters. Salim-Suleiman’s fine song ‘Sun le tu meri arjiya’ was submerged in this stuttering.
Hero kept fighting even after eating two bullets
In flour, flour is equivalent to salt. If the flour is equal, then the film’s appearance deteriorates. That’s why ‘The Power’ is spoiled. The bullets keep on moving continuously. Where the bullets do not move, kick-punches start moving. In every other scene, someone’s body arises. Shruti Haasan, a victim of misunderstanding, fired two bullets in the electric jamwal’s chest in a scene, so it seemed that this too was done. But what is that hero who eats bullets and walks. Vidyut Jamwal returned on the lines of ‘I will come back’ and started playing a band of miscreants.
Karatnuma war is not called acting
When the entire film is being drawn with the help of action, there is not much scope for acting. Kya Vidyut Jamwal, Kya Shruti Haasan and Kya Mahesh Manjrekar are all victims of over-acting in the emotional scenes of The Power. The problem with Vidyut Jammwal is that the people believe that the Karatnuma battle is very active. Whatever the scene of the mood, their gestures remain the same. Here, even a lion of Ghalib, he reads so flatly (and misreads), not Goya lion, by rote reading the multiplication table. The lion was- ‘What comes from their sight is awe on the mouth / They understand that the condition of the sick is good.’ Really, no one is good in ‘The Power’. Behalf film from every perspective. Good for what you see Whatever is not seen, it is better for him.

Agnel feels like ‘alien’ after two gold medals
LONDON- Agence France-PresseFrance’s rising star Yannick Agnel has admitted his gold medals in the London pool have left him feeling like an “alien” as he adjusts to life as an Olympic champion.
Having anchored the French team with a stunning display in the 4x100-meter freestyle relay to touch out Ryan Lochte and claim gold on July 29, Agnel underlined his growing status with victory in the 200-meter freestyle final a day later.
It prompted French President Francois Hollande to come down from the stands to meet Agnel in the mixed zone to tell him how “very proud” France were of their new Olympic hero.
Paris may have lost out on hosting the 2012 Games, but the French are having their revenge in the pool with three golds after Agnel’s title, the relay win and Camille Muffat’s success in the women’s 400m freestyle.
More success could follow for Agnel in the 50m and 100m freestyle, with the 4x200m freestyle relay still to come.
“Since last (Monday) night, I feel like an alien! It is quite funny and cool,” said Agnel. “I think it will take until the end of the week to think about what has happened.”
Having been advised by Hollande not to neglect his studies, Agnel is working towards his masters in International Business at university in Nice and has ambitions to study in the United States.
Agnel was a rarity at the European short-course championships in December 2009 when, as a 16-year-old, he insisted on wearing traditional swimming trunks. His rivals were clad in fast high-tech suits, but Agnel insisted he wanted to feel normal in the water, with the suits banned from events after the championships in Istanbul.

Pumpkin has no idea where her mother Mama June is, the 20-year-old tells HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY. The mom-of-one confesses that the last thing she heard about the reality TV star’s whereabouts is that the matriarch was snapped by the paparazzi in a casino in Florida. And she only knows that because a reporter told her. “I don’t know if that’s where she currently is. I’m not specific on her whereabouts,” the Mama June: From Not To Hot star says.
It’s a heartbreaking update from a woman who was once so close to her mom that TV viewers rarely saw one without the other. But June Shannon’s relationship with Pumpkin and the rest of her family tanked after the 40-year-old’s life spiraled out of control. In the last season of From Not To Hot, fans witnessed June’s family desperately try to get the mother-of-four into rehab, before the blonde bolted after agreeing to get treatment. Meanwhile, a year ago in March 2019, she made headlines for all the wrong reasons after she and her boyfriend Geno Doak were busted in Alabama for alleged “possession of drug paraphernalia” and a “controlled substance,” according to the Macon County District Attorney. Now, Pumpkin – who is raising June’s youngest daughter, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, 14 – says she rarely speaks to her mom.
“It’s hit or miss,” Pumpkin, whose real name is Lauryn Shannon, says when asked if she can just pick up the phone and call her mother. “I’ve been keeping in contact with her but…this addiction and her [willingness] to get healthy is going to be ultimately up to her. So, of course we still keep in contact, but we do it from a distance.”
Their relationship, when they do talk, is “definitely rocky,” Pumpkin says. “The thing about my mom is that she just expects things to go back to normal and there is a lot of damage there. She’s done a lot in the past year… Only time will tell, but I do hope that maybe she gets it together for all of us.”
In the meantime, Pumpkin is trying to make the best out of her life, which involves carrying a lot of responsibility on her young shoulders. With the help of her husband Joshua Efird she is raising their 2-year-old daughter Ella as well as Alana. “It’s definitely much different than raising a 2-year-old,” Pumpkin says of being a mom to her teenage sibling. But, with the support of her other sisters, Jessica (aka Chubbs), 23, and Anna, 25, and her aunt Doe Doe, she’s somehow making it work. “Being around my family makes me happier, makes my mind clear,” she says.
As for what fans can expect to see in the upcoming season of the show (which has since been renamed Mama June: Family Crisis) Pumpkin teases that there will be “a lot of heartbreak and tension” and, yes, June will return. “It’s definitely a lot… So buckle up and grab tissues,” she says. Mama June: Family Crisis premieres on WE tv on March 27 at 9pm.

Williams is pleased to announce that Dickie Stanford has been appointed to the position of General Manager for Williams Heritage, a new division of Williams that oversees the maintenance and public demonstration of the team’s historic Formula One cars. Dickie was most recently Race Team Manager for Williams.
Dickie began his long career with Williams in 1985 as a mechanic on Nigel Mansell’s FW10 and worked his way up to Chief Mechanic, before becoming Team Manager in 1995. He remained in that job for 10 years, before stepping back to spend more time with his family. In 2010 he returned to take up the reins once again as Race and Test Team Manager and helped guide the team through a difficult period. After seeing the team through a successful winter ahead of the 2014 season, Dickie has now decided to retire from life on the road for a factory based position.
As General Manager of Williams Heritage, Dickie will report to Jonathan Williams and have responsibility for the team of highly experienced Williams mechanics that maintain the team’s historic racing cars at the Williams Grand Prix Collection in Oxfordshire, the largest private collection of Formula One cars in the world. Dickie will also help manage the regular series of events and promotional activities that the cars take part in each year such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Speaking about Dickie’s new role Sir Frank Williams, Founder and Team Principal, said; “A team of our longevity has many historic assets that need to be cherished and preserved for future generations to enjoy. Dickie combines strong mechanical knowledge of our cars from his time as a mechanic, with first class operational and logistical skills honed as Race Team Manager. He is therefore perfectly placed to take on the day-to-day operational running of our historic car programme and provide support to Jonathan in ensuring that Williams’ Heritage programme goes from strength to strength. I would personally like to add my thanks to him for his services to the team during his time as Race Team Manager.”
Dickie added; “I have a lot of passion for the company and its heritage and the opportunity to take charge of our historic car programme is too good to turn down. With the formation of Williams Heritage as a distinct division within Williams, we will be well placed to ensure that our legendary cars continue to be well looked after and can be showcased to Formula One fans for many years to come.”

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
Published September 6, 2020 by Titan Books
Data from Goodreads
A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget.
France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.
Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.
But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.
My Review: Absolutely Beautiful Story
While it took me ages to finish this book, I thoroughly enjoyed it and have nothing but praise for it!
The Writing Style:
The prose was absolutely gorgeous. It is haunting and lyrical; it brings about a gothic atmosphere that is perfect for this story. Every word was carefully chosen and made the story come alive.
The story is also very interesting: Addie makes a deal to escape from a life she doesn’t want – but it comes with a price. I really enjoyed how the story went back and forth in time; I was able to see the events that occurred after making the deal and see where Addie was in the current time. There were definitely slow moments, but it was countered by the beautiful detailing of the story.
The introduction of Henry’s character was done very well and I really felt that connection between Addie and Henry. Was I as interested in Henry as I was Addie? No. I think Henry’s character was just not as interesting to me, and his naivety shone through in contrast to Addie’s wisdom. However, it makes sense when Addie is 300 years old and Henry is just in his 20s.
I was also really intrigued by Luc’s character – I would have loved to see more of him in the story, because he also developed as the story progressed.
Overall, I’m just massively impressed by this novel. While it was long and slow at times, the beautiful writing and depth of the story really made it worthwhile for me!

Brazilian interim President Michel Temer on Saturday inaugurated a new Rio de Janeiro metro line that runs from Barra da Tijuca, the neighborhood that is home to most of the Olympic venues, to the city's southern tourist zone.
The new Line 4, built by Concessionaria Rio Barra S.A. as part of a public-private partnership, stretches for 16 kilometers from Barra to the emblematic neighborhood of Ipanema, has six stations and is expected to provide service to more than 300,000 people when it commences normal operations on Sept. 19.
For now, it will only be available for use by fans with tickets to Olympic events scheduled for the same day they are riding the metro.
Temer inaugurated the line by riding the metro from the Nossa Senhora da Paz station in Ipanema to the Jardim Oceanico station in Barra, where he was welcomed by young musicians from the Social Action for Music of Brazil project.
The Olympic Games, whose opening ceremony is scheduled for August 5, have provided an opportunity for improving all of Rio de Janeiro, Temer said in a speech.
The interim head of state, who began standing in for suspended President Dilma Rousseff in May when she was impeached for allegedly violating budget laws, added that the reforms carried out for the Games would be of immeasurable benefit for the city's population.
The metro-line project was built at a cost of 9.7 billion reais (some US$3 billion), with the Rio de Janeiro state government providing 8.5 billion reais of the total and the rest coming from Concessionaria Rio Barra, which is made up of Brazilian engineering companies Queiroz Galvao, Odebrecht and Carioco Engenhria.

Enough is enough with this war against women:
Times change – but too often for the worse. While we used to laugh at things like dress-ups and male-female impersonations, now it is being taken seriously – and for all the wrong reasons. In the past when someone dressed up as the opposite sex, everyone knew it was just pretend, and there was – and could be – no reality to it.
But of course now with the hyper-destructive and damaging trans revolution everywhere upon us, it is no longer a joke. It is serious business, with so many lives being ruined forever. Way too many children especially are being permanently damaged as they believe the lies of activist adults that they can change their sex like they change their socks.
They soon enough realise they were being led down a dead-end garden path. No wonder the de-transitioning movement is growing massively today. Like folks regretting dodgy tattoos, many are trying to revert back to who they really are, but the damage has been done with these irreversible medical procedures.
As I say, not too long ago we could simply laugh at the gender bender routines found in film and elsewhere. It was a bit of light relief, which no one took seriously. We had a laugh, then went back to the real world. In this regard I can mention a movie that was one of my late wife’s favourite films.
I refer to the 1959 comedy Some Like It Hot starring Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe. It involves two male musicians who get into trouble with gangsters in the late 20s. To escape, they don disguises and join up with an all-female band. It is indeed a funny film – especially because everyone knew it was pure fiction.
But today everything has changed. You can get into major trouble if you simply say there are only two sexes. You can get into major trouble by saying someone is a man or a woman. You can get into major trouble if you plead that we leave our children alone.
When Welsh singer Tom Jones released the song “She’s a Lady” 52 years ago, no one batted an eyelash at it. No one demanded that he had to be a qualified biologist to croon about such matters. But today we have idiotic and cowardly politicians, experts and elites afraid to even dare answer the question, ‘What is a woman?’ It is amazing just how far down the tubes have we gone in such a short period of time.
And the devastation all this is causing, especially to women and children, is incalculable. Children are being permanently harmed while women are being erased. This really is a full-on assault against women – not just individual women, but the very concept of womanhood as a whole.
Just take the issue of sports – this is bad enough. Failed male athletes who decide they can get a few wins on the board by pretending to be women are as bogus as a $3 bill. But we are finding this everywhere of late. And women are the major losers here of course.
Consider just one such fraudulent case: William Thomas, who now passes himself off as Lia Thomas. This subpar athlete – when competing in men’s swimming – has started winning races, since coming out as a woman. Well, how bold and brave of you William. You must be so very proud of yourself.
Real female swimmers are increasingly up in arms that their sport is been ruined and their chances of winning in competitions are now being stripped away from them. One such champion is Riley Ganes. She recently tweeted, “A man competing in the women’s category is a cheater. And if he loses to a woman, he’s a cheater who sucks at his sport. & you, sir, are a gaslighting narcissist.”
But so many fools and ideological nutters go fully along with all this idiocy. Almost all journalists and writers today go right ahead and refer to William as ‘she’ and ‘her’. Consider the clowns at Wikipedia. Two short sentences from their article on him is all you need:
“Thomas was assigned male at birth. … Towards the end of high school, Thomas began to question her gender identity.” Um, he is a he. And he was not “assigned male at birth”. He was born a male and still is a male. Every single cell in his body screams ‘male’. No amount of hormone therapy and dress-ups will ever change this biological reality.
Again, and thankfully, there is a real backlash breaking out against all this insanity. Many women – including feminists and lesbians – are mounting an impassioned fightback. As one (genuine) woman wrote about Thomas recently:
Sane people across the world owe a debt of gratitude to American swimmer Lia Thomas. This is the six-foot-one man who was first allowed to compete on the University of Pennsylvania women’s team in March last year. The sight of this hulking male, standing in first place on the winning podium at a top-level college competition, forced pundits and politicians to face the consequences of the lie that ‘transwomen are women’.
The spectacle also inspired many athletes to speak out about the madness of allowing men to identify into women’s sports. This is not just a question of sporting injustice, either. As Paula Scanlan, one of Thomas’s teammates, explained in her testimony to the US congress last week, she and her fellow female swimmers were expected to get changed alongside Thomas 18 times per week. University officials refused to hear any complaints about this from the female swimmers, telling them instead that they needed to be ‘re-educated’.
The cruelty of this is hard to understate. Speaking to the New York Post earlier this week, Scanlan said swimming had previously helped her recover from the trauma of a sexual assault that she suffered in a bathroom as a 16-year-old. But being forced to share a changing room with the obviously male Thomas gave her ‘nightmares for weeks about men being there while we were dressing’.
It’s not just the experiences of Thomas’s former teammates that have caused a splash. When college champion swimmer Riley Gaines tied in a race with Thomas last year, he was given the women’s trophy and she wasn’t. Infuriated by the injustice, she has since become an advocate for single-sex sporting categories.
Fighting for fairness in women’s sports is not easy, however. In April, Gaines was forced to barricade herself inside a room for around three hours at San Francisco State University. A mob of around 100 trans activists had ambushed her in order to prevent her from delivering a speech.
She concludes her article this way:
First, trans people have not been ‘banned’ from sporting competitions at all. Males like Thomas are still free to compete against other men. And second, going through male puberty confers significant physiological advantages on athletes in almost all cases. These include increases in upper-body strength, bone density, muscle mass, lung capacity, hand size and height. This is why male athletes will almost always beat their female counterparts.
Still, while sporting bodies like FINA are starting to stand up for biological truth and fairness, the battle to preserve single-sex spaces continues. Some might dismiss this as a storm in a changing room, but there are many women who will simply stop going swimming or trying on clothes if they are faced with the prospect of sharing an intimate space with men.
Lia Thomas has made it all too clear why men do not belong in women’s sports. It’s time we recognised they don’t belong in women’s spaces, either. https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/08/04/how-the-lia-thomas-scandal-could-save-womens-sports/
It is clearly time to say no to female impersonations and foolish dress-ups.

April 28, 2011
Approximately 30 activists from around New Hampshire began gathering in front of the Weare Police Department on Wednesday at 3:00pm seeking answers to questions that the department has evaded for over a year. Weare Police have arrested at least three videographers for the crime of documenting the actions of public officials.
The Weare Police Department was closed for the day, with a sign on the door directing those seeking police services to call a local phone number. When one attendee tried to call to prompt someone from the police department to meet with accountability activists, he was given evasive answers as to whether anyone would be coming and was repeatedly hung up on.
A vast food spread was shared among those present, including some potentially illegal use of caveman technology. A sign in front of the police station directing individuals to get permission from authorities to utilize fire did not deter the grilling of pineapples.
20-30 minutes before the crowd dissipated, a man in plain clothes driving a pickup truck parked his vehicle and had with him four pizzas. They were delivered to the person who had tried calling Weare Police to respond to no avail, who asked if the pizzas had been paid for. The man responded that they had been, and left.
Stopping at the pizza-providing restaurant later that day, activists learned from employees there that the pizzas were ordered by a Lieutenant at the Weare PD. They were not delivered by an employee of the eatery, but by a friend of the officer who had placed the order.
The strange message which the Lieutenant requested the pizzeria put on each of the four bacon pizza boxes read, “Porky Pig Special”, and below, “Compliments of your Friends @ Weare PD”.
A few employees of the Weare Fire Department showed their professionalism as they left work by sticking their middle fingers out at activists as they drove by. At least one camera has the footage of this captured, and it should be appearing shortly. As a show of peace, flowers were left at the front door of the station.
This video report from Biker Bill gives a brief overview of the event.

Before the Gud Cultist fanboys attack me, I’d like to tell you that I played and hit DS3 and didn’t feel at all perfect. It wasn’t funny, it was more of a slogan. The fan boys of the Dark Souls are the most poisonous and carcinogenic, but also a vocal minority who imitate the game as if it were their girlfriend. News flash: Most casuists like me HATE this kind of game, but the industry continues to make these clones, and I’ve really noticed that for a year or two after I beat God of War 2018 and wanted to take over another action game. So I bought Nioh and it was on my order book. The game was a fake advertisement, I start playing it and I enter the game thinking it’s a hack and slash game, it’s a terrible game of the soul. It’s no fun standing in a suffocating endurance bar. It’s literally an artificial difficulty and, speaking of difficulty. Difficult is not synonymous with good. For whom does this industry make these games? Sorry, but I know there are more people who like fast and fun actions with keywords like DMC that I don’t know to offer DIFFICULT PARAMETERS. How a difficulty option doesn’t make the game cheaper !!!!!! But my biggest complaint is that there are TOO MANY of these soul crushing games that don’t have the pleasure of hack-and-slash games like DMC, God of War, Bayonetta, Darksiders and Ninja Gaiden. We have only had 2 AAA hack n slash AAA games in the last 5 years: Deny Automata and DMC, while in the past 5 years there have been Splash, Splash 2, Nio, Nio 2, Blood, Mortal Shell, Code Vena, Immortal Unchained, Ashen and Hell’s Point. Again: Who are these games for? They make these games for a small minority of hardcore gamers at the expense of casual gamers like me and my girlfriend who just want to relax and yes, push buttons, and since when have push buttons become humiliating? I swear, some of these devils are so dirty and insulting. And it’s not just the AAA market, it’s also the independent market. Come on, now 2 hack and slash matches against 11 in the last 5 years! If there were an equal number of hack-and-slash games, I wouldn’t complain. We had so many in the 6th and 7th generation and they just stopped producing them. The only developers still making them are Platinum and Ninja Theory. I don’t want to play any more old Xbox 360 games. How often do I play DMC 4 or Darksiders 2? And I don’t want to keep playing Legends or Apex and COD? I’m a consumer, and yes, I like my favorite style of action. And there seems to be a glimmer of hope ahead, as Babylon’s Fall, Bayonetta 3 and Kidney Replicant have all been developed by Platinum Games. Who’s my favorite developer right now.

As you all know, dear hunters, the recent delay in working with CAs has made some or many of us think….. Why is that? I am completely free and Monster Hunter World has given me almost 1000 hours of gameplay, as you can see, I love this game. But I wonder why AC? Why don’t you?

Three men, two brothers and an android, are on a salvaging ship, diligently working through its slim pickings. Meanwhile the TARDIS is whizzing through space; inside the good Doctor and Clara are having a... Can we call it an argument? She’s still convinced that sexy doesn’t like her and the Doctor’s solution has her in a spin; talk to her.
“You’re not getting me to talk to your ship, that’s properly bonkers!” Clara tells him. Between you and me, I don’t think she’s caught on that the TARDIS is alive. Instead the Doctor offers up a plan B; take the wheel. Out of the goodness of his hearts he even puts it into basic mode for her. With a key engraved “Smiths” as well - anyone else spot that? “Basic?” Clara says, “because I’m a girl?”
“No!” The Doctor assures her, though his smirk tells a different story. Now, is it just me or should the Doctor stop putting his TARDIS into basic mode and stop letting his companions play with it? It never bodes well. Remember the Titanic?

This one seems obvious, but a large number of people who rent don't have insurance to cover the contents of their apartments. Some people really believe they are covered under the building owner's insurance policy if there is a fire or if someone breaks into their home. This is not the case.
If you leave the stove burner turned on and the place goes up in flames, you are responsible for all your own belongings. If you are insured - Great! If you are not you may have some problems. Would you have enough money to start over and replace all your belongings? What if your negligence caused damage in other units in your building? Could you pay for all those losses? It's something to think about.

As the Joker’s Daughter returns to the DCU in this week’s Nightwing #57, the enigmatic character is being co-written by DC newcomer Zack Kaplan as “a little Jack Nicholson, a little Heath Ledger," but (surprisingly) ultimately sane.
Kaplan is writing scripts based on a plot by Scott Lobdell (upon the departure of former scripter Fabian Nicieza). And he’s inheriting the title in the midst of an identity crisis for Dick Grayson, who was shot in the head a few months ago and has lost most of he memories. Since the shooting, the character has been calling himself “Ric,” has rejected his former life as Nightwing (even though Bat-friends told him all about it), and is trying to establish a new life in Bludhaven.
But in January’s Nightwing #56, the call to heroism was just too great for him to resist. After a group of vigilantes filled the void left by the departure of Nightwing, they found themselves in trouble while fighting Scarecrow - but Ric Grayson just naturally came to their rescue, instinctively knowing how they could win the battle.
With this week’s Nightwing #57 and next month’s #58, Ric and his fellow gang of Nightwings will have to deal with the Joker’s Daughter, who Kaplan says will have her own ideas about vigilantism.
Kaplan, who’s just co-writing these two issues for DC before Dan Jurgens takes over Nightwing in April, is making his debut with DC after the success of his ongoing series Eclipse and Port of Earth at Image. Newsarama talked to the writer to find out more about his approach on Nightwing and the appearance of Duela Dent.
Newsarama: Zack, let’s talk about the character you’re writing for your DC debut. What’s your history with Nightwing were you a fan? And what did you think of the opportunity to write such an unusual story with the character?
Zack Kaplan: I’ve always been familiar with Nightwing, but only when I began to truly research him and understand how complex of a character he is did I gain such an appreciation for him.
I think he’s quite an enigma, a guy who’s never found his home, a man who always falls in love only to meet misfortune, a hero who’s constantly subject to the attempted control of others. And despite all of this conflict and tragedy and falling, the damn guy remains optimistic and altruistic. That’s quite a character.
So I was thrilled to get a chance to voice him.
And while I am joining the story at quite a unique place, I decided it was a fascinating opportunity, to capture Dick underneath Ric and see that fight between these two desires: to be normal and avoid the pain and conflict versus the magnetic engine to help others in need.
Nrama: Let’s talk about that “magnetic engine.” With the turn of events in Nightwing last issue, it looks like Ric just can’t resist helping people in trouble. Is that the idea/theme behind this story arc, to explore who this character is at his core, even when so much of him is stripped away?
Kaplan: I think it’s a mistake to assume so much of him is gone. For me, the Nightwing we all know and love is still under there, waiting to come back. That was the interesting aspect to me as a writer coming on board into this story already in progress.
Dick Grayson was shot in the head, and he’s coped with this traumatic tragedy by changing to Ric and leaving behind that other life. But I don’t think we ever change who we truly are. I think there are some things in us that never change.
So for me, Ric is on a journey to rediscover his true identity. As a storyteller, it was exciting to write that slow-burn return, put some of the pieces back in place.
And while it may be excruciating for fans desperate to get back the black and blue crusader they know and love, Ric is finding his way back.
In this arc, Ric, Dick or whatever name he goes by, is discovering that he is still a superhero. He is still Nightwing at heart.
Nrama: The end of last issue established that he’s joining this group that is working together to pick up the Nightwing legacy. Now that he’s joining a “team,” so to speak, what will the dynamic be like for Ric and the other Nightwings? And what’s interesting for you as a writer to explore this group?
Kaplan: There are a couple interesting dynamics that are pretty cool. This new Nightwings group has decided to suit up out of a sense of responsibility to the people of Bludhaven. Ric begins this story struggling to embrace this type of responsibility. So that’s interesting to see Ric have something to learn from this new group.
In turn, they have a lot to learn from him, and yet, the secret identities, the mystery that he is the original Nightwing, it lends itself to a lot of fun dramatic irony.
There’s a lot of opportunity to use these characters on his journey back to his roots, since, well, they’re pretending to be him.
Nrama: One of the upcoming covers makes it look like “Ric” isn’t going to get a costume for this story. Is that true? Anything you can share about him not getting back in costume?
Kaplan: Hey, I can’t wait to see him back in the black and blue, if that’s the natural progression for the character! I think we’re all excited to see what happens.
Nrama: You’re using the Joker’s Daughter for the next two issues, a character who’s had different roles in the DCU over the years. How would you describe her as you’re writing her?
Kaplan: I loved getting into the Joker’s Daughter’s head. I took a little Jack Nicholson, a little Heath Ledger, but ultimately I started with a sane character. After all, the scariest villains are the ones who make sense. That was the most important.
She’s a girl with a past shrouded in mystery, but she’s been chewed up and spit out by life. She’s been homeless on the street, she’s found comfort there, and she’s got a bone to pick with anyone who would look down and ignore those who are suffering.
So while she may seem crazy, if you pay close attention, she’s going to make a lot of sense. She’s credibly authentic and scary as hell.
Nrama: How connected is she to the Joker?
Kaplan: That remains a mystery.
Nrama: How does she get on the radar of Nightwing … er, rather, the Nightwings? What’s the nature of their conflict?
Kaplan: Bludhaven is undergoing a major transformation now, gentrifying with new businesses and growing into a much larger city. It’s created a lot of growing pains, crime, poverty and homelessness. And the Joker’s Daughter, well, she has come to save the day.
After all, Bludhaven could use a few more heroes. I’m not sure that the Nightwings and the Joker’s Daughter are going to agree about the best way to help people in need, but I’m sure they’ll work it out in the end, right?
Nrama: Oh, sure they will. Solicitations indicate there’s a theme of identity behind this story. How is the story of the Joker’s Daughter thematically linked to Nightwing’s own identity crisis?
Kaplan: It’s beautifully linked. I had such an eureka moment when I saw it. The Joker’s Daughter, despite her crazy, violent methods and insane disposition, is actually trying to help people. You might even say she feels a sense of responsibility to society’s suffering freaks and rejects.
Ric doesn’t know how to process his amnesia and his past, so he’s just trying to live his normal life, but he’s ignoring his love for helping people and his responsibility to be a hero to the people of Bludhaven.
So, in the end, Ric and Duela sit down, have a beer, inspire each other to be better people and live happily every after. Right?
Nrama: I’m thinking not. Since some readers might feel like you kind of came out of nowhere to script this title, where else can readers find your work?
Kaplan: I write Eclipse and Port of Earth, two ongoing sci-fi series from Image Comics/Top Cow, and I wrote The Lost City Explorers from Aftershock Comics. Eclipse comes back in March for a fourth and final arc, and Port of Earth continues in April. All are available in comic shops and online outlets. I’m on social media at @zackkaps or website zackkaps.com.
Nrama: Anything else you want to add?
Kaplan: I just want to say how excited I am to be joining the DC family and having my first title be one as amazing as Nightwing. Scott, Travis and Tamra assembled a real cool and beautiful book, and Katie Kubert and the entire editorial team were as supportive and brilliant as can be. So I’m just thrilled.

Hamel’s songs are achingly catchy, or sometimes just aching. They often juxtapose deeply sad and even scathing lyrics with happy melodies that sweep you in. Imagine the musical landscape of a lush big band who would play with Frank Sinatra or Peggy Lee set against the emotional palette of Jeff Buckley...
Hamel is complex, seductive, clever. His songs reflect subtlety, anxiety, euphoria.
"But at the same time I would like to listen to PJ Harvey, Jeff Buckley, Peggy Lee, who is very sexy and strict and melancholic, but I also like Prince and Carmen McRae"
“By the time I was 17 and finished school I moved immediately out from my parents, not because I didn’t like them, but because I didn’t like the place they lived. I moved to the city of Utrecht.” He applied for a course in literature and journalism but left after the first year. “I was just interested in working for magazines like Vanity Fair and this course was very technical - how to write a news story.” He toyed with the idea of music school. He had guitar lessons and he was compulsively listening to Smashing Pumpkins. He wondered if music school would try to change the style before he had even developed it, but he was unhappy with journalism and decided to apply. “I wanted to make my voice bigger and learn theory so I could write songs. 120 people applied to music school and only four could be accepted, and I was, so that was quite an honour.”
Hamel did five years of music school from 1995-2001. “They did try to change me. Everyone who warned me was correct. But at the same time, what a blessing to do music every day. I came to the institute with this light airy voice. They tried to make me a crooner. I sang everything from old jazz to bossa nova. The drew out a voice that I had in me that perhaps I would never have known. It took me a while to learn what I should drop and what I should keep. It took me a while to redevelop my own style.” What he gained in knowledge he seemed to have lost in confidence. That feeling of knowing who he is in his own skin. When he left music school he began working as a singing teacher. It would be four years before his friends would even hear him sing. “My singing technique was really good. Because of all the singing lessons I gave people I learnt a lot, but I was really insecure. The new people I met never heard me play or sing. I didn’t go to jam sessions any more. One day I saw an advert in a newspaper for a Dutch jazz vocalist competition. I jokingly said I could win. I didn’t really believe I could...” But of course he did and he began to realise the conservatory had given him an amazing background. He didn’t have to sing jazz standards. “Gradually I got rid of my inhibitions and I began to write songs.”Read more

In case of adverse operating and ambient conditions due to dust, contamination, spray water, heat or cold, drive lines are frequently encapsulated and therefore hard to access, especially in the heavy machine industry. In order to protect such drives and machines reliably against overload, mayr® power transmission has developed a disengaging torque limiter with the EAS®-reverse on which all functional processes can be carried out automatically via the drive alone.
In case of overload, a patented disengagement mechanism disconnects the input and output without residual torque. This permits long run-out times. The EAS®-reverse re-engages automatically simply by rotating backwards slowly, without the need for pneumatics or hydraulics – ideal for drives which cannot be accessed for re-engagement.

Ok, so I haven't blogged for awhile. I'm busy. It shows....
Usually, I don't have many personal works on the go, but they've escalated. (Almost out of control!)
First, there's the lovely deep green short sleeved cardigan that I've been working on for awhile. I'm up to the sleeves with only the last ball left, so I have to do them in tandem from the top down till I run out of yarn. It's messy, so not so good at Snb or on the train.
Then there's a pair of socks I started at SnB one day when I'd forgotton some needles, or something and 'had' to do something, and 'nearly' finished at a slow day at Rose St. I do so want more socks.
Then, there's my niece, who's just turned 21, the first of the next generation. As well as a beautiful hand-made box from Ivanhoe Makers Market and the talented Smiljan, I wanted to knit her a blanket, just for her. After finding the pattern, and the yarn, I managed to get it almost half-way by her birthday, I am going slowly along, and the deadline I set myself is likely to pass by. Sorry Hayley, but it will get there.
Then, my gorgeous son, Michael, has asked for a handknit jumper.....hooray! I had just the pattern. He liked it. We decided on the colours. I've ordered the yarn from Bendigo Woollen Mills, it's arrived. I've started....
And finally, I've ordered the yarn to go with the Twist Collective pattern I bought and am really looking forward to knitting.
Oh, and that doesn't take into account the unfinished Yarn Forward knitalong blanket and the black cardigan I want to design and knit. I haven't designed for awhile and I know just exactly what I want to do!
Then add on to this all the fingerless mittens, shawls, scarves and assorted goods that I need to stock my market stall. All the drawing, painting and printmaking that is proceeding slowly as I work on my minor, works on paper, second year project. Various other assorted projects, it's a busy year. I'd like to say that I'm going to regularly get back to blogging, but who knows.
I have worked out a setting on my camera which has given me some lighting freedom, (thanks Leanne - photographer extraordinaire!) so here's hoping.


Inverter assembly at Steca in Memmingen (Source: Steca)
The breathtakingly fast-growing world of solar has become a complex one. Customers are being offered ever more opportunities for action and investment, and this is overburdening some of them. At the heart of this complexity stands the inverter, where all the connections come together. Manufacturers can support their customers by providing an orientation guide and making the use of photovoltaics simpler again. “The complexity in our sector has increased over the years,” says Markus Vetter, Head of Marketing and Communication at Kostal. The simple model of feeding in at a fixed tariff has been replaced by a business model which balances own consumption, storage and infeed, and also considers flexibly timing consumption in order to most effectively use the solar electricity.
It is no longer enough to determine how many modules will fit on the roof and how many you can afford. You now have to additionally think about whether storage is really going to be worthwhile, and if so, what its capacity should be. “The demands on the human-machine interface have also increased,” adds Vetter. If you then also have to consider whether a smart home system would make sense and what interfaces then have to be used, the complexity becomes very evident.
Kostal‘s answer to the increasing web of system technology is the new inverter Plenticore plus. It aims to provide a suitable solution for as many customer desires as possible. It can be used with or without a battery and is designed to additionally be able to charge the battery via the AC bus if so desired. In order to fulfil the many different demands, three MPP trackers are available. You can either connect up three module strings or two module strings and a battery.
Communication must also become more powerful and flexible. Kostal has thus developed the “Smart Communication Board”, which aims to fulfil current and future demands and whose functions are also expandable via app. In this way the new inverter aims to satisfy market demands which now, or in the near future, are going for own consumption, thus giving the battery an important role. Not all batteries are suitable, however. Just like all other inverters to which a battery can be connected, the Plenticore plus has specific requirements.
“Given the large number of battery systems, it is our task to support the customer in making a selection and to separate the wheat from the chaff,” stresses Vetter: “We look at the batteries and check whether they will fit with the inverter.” These are time-consuming qualification processes: “The batteries which we recommend not only have to meet safety standards, but also our brand quality.” This means that an “intelligent connection” can only be made between the Plenticore plus and certain batteries. The operation of the battery throws up a multitude of questions; what happens if there is a fault? How are results logged? Who will carry out the servicing? “We clarify these questions in advance, before we recommend a battery to our customers,” says Vetter. So far, batteries from Sony and BYD have passed the tests and it currently looks as if the Austrian battery manufacturer Kreisel will also receive a Kostal recommendation shortly.

There has been another school shooting in the United States, this time in Maryland at Great Mills High School.
Details are still coming in, but here’s what we know so far.
The Latest Details on Great Mills High School Shooting
Great Mills High School is currently on lockdown after some type of shooting incident earlier this morning. According to officials, the incident has been contained. Maryland State Police, the Baltimore detachment of the FBI, and the local Sheriff’s department are all aware of the incident and are either on the scene or en route.
Parents of students of Great Mills High School should not attempt to pick up their children. Instead, they are being told to head to Leonardtown High School’s auditorium.
While there’s no official word on what the incident was or how many people were involved, NBC 4 reported that there were multiple injuries involved in the shooting. Hopefully, there will be more official news shortly.
Shooter Dead, Two Victims
According to officials, shortly after 8:00 a.m. on March 20, a male student entered Great Mills High School and proceeded to shoot two other students, a 16-year-old female, and a 14-year-old male. After the initial shooting, a school resource officer, who was also a trained, armed deputy sheriff, exchanged gunfire with the shooter. The officer was not injured during the exchange.
The male student is in good condition at MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital, while the female student is currently listed in stable condition at University of Maryland Prince George’s Hospital Center. The shooter, on the other hand, was pronounced dead at the scene. It is currently unclear as to how the shooter ended up dead.

"I like being a woman, even in a man’s world. After all, men can’t wear dresses, but we can wear the pants." - Whitney Houston
What is it like to be a woman? What is it like to be someones daughter; someones wife, and someones mother? Is she defined by what the society thinks is normal? Or does she stand by her own beliefs?
As a young woman, I often find myself struggling in a world made up of conflicting messages about who a woman is, or how she should live her life. The media is to be partially blamed for this, however, the true blame lies in the years of misguided views about women that has been reinforced by past generations.
Even now, women are still excluded from discussions about war or national security, and those mostly presented with issues regarding health and family life. Why are women so often being judged by their remarkable abilities to juggle their family, career and personal lives simultaneously?
Nowadays women have rights, and they are treated equally most of the time. Unfortunately, the notions about a woman's place in society, as well as her place within her family, are still conflicted.
The journey of the average woman is to go from being someones daughter, to being someones wife and someones mother, grandmother and so on. Even her family name says nothing about her; it is first her fathers, and then her husbands.
A woman is a remarkable creature. She is sensitive and assertive. She is beautiful and unique. She is God's creation, just like a man is, and she should never be stopped from achieving anything that she wants.

Madonna pays tribute to David Bowie
Madonna saluted her childhood hero David Bowie by performing a version of his song Rebel Rebel during her concert on Tuesday.
The iconic rocker has been mourned by fans around the globe since he died on Sunday, two days after his 69th birthday, following an 18-month battle with cancer.
The Material Girl singer was one of many celebrities who took to social media to mourn the star, and she paid tribute during her Rebel Heart Tour stop in Houston, Texas.
“I want to pay tribute to a man who inspired my career,” she told the audience.
“If you haven’t heard of David Bowie, look him up motherf...ers.
“He was one of the geniuses in the music industry, one of the greatest singer-songwriters of the 20th century and he changed my life when I went to see him in concert in Detroit.
“He showed me that it was OK to be different. And he’s the first rebel heart that I laid eyes on. So, I don’t know, I think we should just get this party started. I hope you know the song.”
She danced around the stage as she sang Rebel Rebel while images of Bowie flicked up on the arena’s screens with the word “Rebel”.
At the end of the performance, Madonna lay flat on the stage floor, facing down.
Madonna shared pictures from the show on Twitter and wrote in the caption: “Paying Tribute to My Favorite Rebel In Houston?? Thank you!..........David Bowie (sic).”
She has previously praised Bowie for inspiring her career when she went to one of his shows in Detroit, Michigan, aged 15.
When she accepted Bowie’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame award on his behalf in 1996, she told the audience: “Before I saw David Bowie live, I was your normal dysfunctional rebellious teenager from the Mid-West and he has truly changed my life.
“I’ve always had a sentimental attachment to him ... not just because I grew up with his music but because it’s the first rock concert that I ever saw and it was a major event in my life.
“I came home a changed woman ... so I would just like to thank David Bowie wherever you are for inspiring me.”

Any gamer worth their (sea)salt will likely already be very familiar with the universe of BioShock, and the underwater utopia that is Rapture.
But if you've yet to explore the gorgeous and intricately detailed art deco depths of Andrew Ryan's gift to the world (or if you just fancy revisiting it), then you're in luck: BioShock is coming to iOS.
The good news is that this port is the full original game of BioShock, and has had its controls optimized for touchscreens, while also supporting MFi controllers. It's also set to be a premium title, so there won't be any free-to-play shenanigans going on here.
The bad news is that you'll need a relatively modern device to cope with the strains the engine will put on it. The official press release we received categorically stated that it will only run on iPad 4 and Air, iPhone 5, 5C, and 5S, and iPad Mini 2.
If you're curious to see what the game will look like on iOS - and we know you are - take a peek at the first official footage in the video above.
Will you be heading back to Rapture this Summer? If so, would you kindly let us know in the comments.

MOSCOW, July 07. /ITAR-TASS/. The net outflow of private foreign capital from Russia has reached about $80 billion, Economic Development Minister Alexei Ulyukayev said on Tuesday.
“Unfortunately, we still have quite negative capital account results,” Ulyukayev said at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“The net outflow of private foreign capital amounted to about $80 billion. These are mostly the results of the first quarter, when a large number of deposits held both by households and businesses were converted into foreign currency deposits and even simply into foreign currency cash to the tune of about $20 billion,” Ulyukayev said.
Putin specified, “Does this mean that the money has not gone, anywhere as rubles were simply converted into foreign currency?”
Ulyukayev confimed that “this money has undoubtedly remained in the economy".
The minister added that the regulator’s statistics were based on the principle of the currency denomination rather than the residence principle. “That is why, capital outflow has been registered only from this point of view while these funds have actually remained with the population and business,” the minister said.

Resources related to “What happens if my Green Card expires?”:
There are several reasons why your green card may expire while you wait for citizenship.
This is mainly because the process can take a very long time.
So, what should you do if your green card does expire?
You can apply for a renewal or an extension of your green card. This will give you additional time to get your application processed while still being able to live and work in the United States.
What is a green card?
The green card is a permit that allows aliens residing in the United States to work and enjoy most of the same rights as American citizens.
Green card holders are authorized to live and work in the U.S. and also enjoy protection against deportation for certain crimes, which they wouldn’t if they were still an alien.
You should apply for a renewal of your green card when there is a change in your Alien Registration Number (ARN). Additionally, it is important to apply for naturalization before or on the expiration date of your current green card.
How long does it take to renew a green card?
Renewing an expired green card is necessary if you want to stay in the U.S. after your first five years of residence. You can apply for naturalization after three more years (8 years total).
In case of expiry, you have two options: renewing it or leaving the U.S. for a certain amount of time and then applying for a new green card from your home country.
It is important to note that leaving the U.S., especially after living there for more than six months, can be considered abandoning your green card.
If you renounce your green card, you must maintain temporary resident status, but this will not apply to those who are abandoning their green cards or have been living in the United States for less than six months continuously. If that is your case, you must leave U.S. territory after 60 days.
Why would my green card expire while waiting for citizenship?
A green card can expire while you wait for citizenship because the application process takes a long time.
If you have already been living in the U.S. with that document, it is essential to renew it before your status changes from permanent resident alien. If your original documents were damaged or lost, you would need to try and obtain a copy from your home country.
It is also possible that the green card expires while waiting for citizenship due to delays in processing that application. In most cases, it can take several months or even years before immigration services process an application. It is important to remember that they do not necessarily process applications in the order they are received.
It is essential to keep track of the expiration date of your green card because you need it for many things, including traveling outside or within the United States, starting a new job, or getting married.
It is possible for someone who holds a green card to renew it at their local U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, but it is also possible to appoint someone else to do it in your place.
What are the consequences of not having a valid green card when applying for citizenship?
It is possible to apply for citizenship without renewing the expired green card, but you will most likely need to pass an interview where they ask questions about your stay in the United States.
If you are applying for the naturalization process, your application may be denied if there are any inaccuracies or omissions on the submitted forms.
You can be denied citizenship if your green card has not been renewed after several years of waiting. If it expires while you are waiting, you should apply for naturalization as soon as possible before your status changes from permanent resident to alien.
To avoid all these complications and ensure the smooth processing of your citizenship application, renew your green card on time.
What can you do if your green card expires while you are waiting for citizenship?
Anyone currently in the United States with an expired green card must get their renewal processed as soon as possible because immigration services do not process applications in the order they are received. So this could delay your expected processing time.
If your green card expires while waiting for citizenship, you can renew it. If you need help, someone can fill out the application on your behalf.
Ensure that this person has legal authority over you and is willing to travel with you if necessary. It is also important that they prove that applying outside of the U.S. would be easier and more convenient than doing so while you are still in the country.
