Also first performance of the community mass choir
By SHERRY DIGMON
News Staff Writer
You’ve heard it said, “If you weren’t there, you really missed something.”
Truer words were never spoken when referring to the Escambia County Middle and High School Spring concert Thursday, May 3. If you weren’t there … well, just ask anyone who was. They’ll tell you how memorable it was.
Once the school concert was over, the Atmore Community Mass Gospel Choir filled the stage (literally) and presented several praise and worship selections. The mass choir was composed of dozens of people from the community, along with some students who chose to participate following their own concert.
The ECMS sixth-grade choir started the school concert with Kuwa Furaha (Be Joy), then featured soloist Lajarion McCarty in A Million Dreams.
The concert was held in the newly renovated Hodnette Auditorium at ECHS. Choir director Conrad Weber felt it a fitting tribute for the choirs to perform 1960s #1 Hits Medley to honor the year the school was built (1960). He arranged a medley for the sixth-grade choir (featuring front vocalists Ava Penner, Kasiyah Atkins and Tiarra Lee) and one for the higher grade choir.
An impromptu performance of Leaning on You, Lord brought a couple of ECHS graduates to the stage to accompany some of the high school choir members.
The ECHS Ensemble performed White Winter Hymnal, arranged by The Pentatonix.
Soloist Adonis Williams brought the house down with A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke.
The ECHS and ECMS seventh- through 12th-grade choirs performed Jambo, Jesu, and a 1960s medley featuring Ty Rankins, assisted by Destiny Brown in part of the medley.
Accompanying the choirs were Justin Martin, electric guitar; Alex White, drums; Jace Weber, bass, cello; and Collin Richard, keys.
Members of the school choirs are listed below.
Sixth grade – Shameshia America, Kaisyah Atkins, Jyrin Brown, Jessica Cuenca, Areana Dread, Sasha Kidd, Shania Lee, Tiara Lee, Destiny Lynn, Paul Martin, Shontia Martin, Lajarion McCarty, Jakiya Owens, Ava Penner, Gabreyel Proctor, Takiya Riley, Jalesia Rivers, Elijah Thomas, Aubrianna Williams, Tynekia Harris.
Seventh and eighth grades – De’Untrey Cooper, Maurice Etheridge, A’Zavein Pettway, Trenton Smith, Si’Mya Sims, Jameesha Russell, Rachel Redmond, Jaliyah English, Isabella McGee, Jasmine Davidson, Savannah Gilden, Trinity Thames, Sy’Maria Banks, Ty’Qaja Brown, Delaneny Gurley, Makaila Foskey
High school – Zaniyah Anderson, Keyonna Atkins, Nija Backus, Josh Banks, Danielle Barnes, Katelyn Barron, Darius Brooks, Destiny Brown, Joseph Bryant, Mona Crenshaw, Jenia Cuenca, Dominae DuWhite, Shania Finklea, Marquez Gaines, Jermeria Gandy, Tequoria Gandy, Mikaylla Gibbs, Ariauna Gray, Mercedes Hall, Mitchlina Hall, Antonio Hardy, Shankina Henderson, Jada Johnson, Jon’Asia Johnson, LaShandrea Kelly, Tyshai Knight, Alexis Lambert, Olivia Lee, Taliyah Leslie, Bria Montgomery, Jayla Moore, Mariah Moore, Brianna Morrow, Danishia Murray, Darriona Nichols, La’Karlton Nye, Destiny Page, Chamichael Pettway, Sanaa Pleasant, Latrice Pryear, Adriaunna Richardson, T’Naijah Roberts, Mardaizah Salter, Arianna Sitar, Alexxius Simpson, Anita Shoemaker, Jessi Spicer, Mariah Stallworth, Tiyashia Hall, Jac’Lynn Tucker, Ty Rankins, Adonis Williams, LaDasia Willis, Michael Wilson, Sheyanne Wooley.

The floods in the Ahr Valley cost the lives of at least 134 people. Thousands have lost their four walls. A year later, the Federal President and Federal Chancellor also commemorate the flood victims.
On the first anniversary of the deadly Ahr flood disaster, the leaders of the state come to the river valley this Thursday. Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier wants to speak to those affected, helpers and local politicians in the communities of Altenahr and Dernau from 11 a.m. He is accompanied by the head of government of Rhineland-Palatinate, Malu Dreyer (SPD). Steinmeier then travels to Euskirchen in North Rhine-Westphalia to take part in a memorial service for the flood victims there.
While the head of state is no longer taking part in the central Ahr memorial event on Thursday evening in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) is expected there as a guest without a speech. Up to 2,000 people can gather in the spa park of the heavily flood-damaged district town.
According to the state government, the memory of the victims should be combined with a “visible signal for solidarity and a common start”. The program of the public event at 5.30 p.m. will be broadcast by SWR on television and as a live stream on the Internet. Speeches by Prime Minister Dreyer, the non-party Ahrweiler District Administrator Cornelia Weigand and the Mayor of Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Guido Orthen (CDU), are planned. Words from four flood victims are also on the program. Artists from the region create the musical framework.
A decentralized commemoration is planned for this Friday in the flood-damaged communities. According to the Ahrweiler district administration, the church bells should ring in many places around 6 p.m. “as a sign of shared sadness and hope”. Individual human chains are also planned in various municipalities.
Churches are planning memorial services on both Thursday and Friday. The Catholic Bishop of Trier, Stephan Ackermann, and the President of the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland, Thorsten Latzel, are expected to attend such an ecumenical gathering on Friday at 4 p.m. in Ahrbrück on a meadow.
In Rhineland-Palatinate alone, at least 135 people died in the flood disaster on the night of July 15, 2021 – 134 in the Ahr Valley and one man in the Eifel. Two people are still missing. In North Rhine-Westphalia, 49 people died in floods after extremely heavy rain.

Charlie Sheen Is Denying He Abused Corey Haim
It's been a long few weeks in Hollywood, as allegations have been lobbied against various people in the entertainment industry, including the likes of Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and recently, Charlie Sheen. A tabloid story over at the National Enquirer broke yesterday, in which Corey Haim's close friend Dominick Brascia reportedly outed Sheen for sexually assaulting Haim on the set of Lucas. Now, Charlie Sheen has spoken out to deny the allegations. A spokesperson made the following succinct comment about the report, noting,
The initial report, as told by Dominick Brascia, alleges that Corey Haim was 13 when he was working on the set of Lucas. At the time, Charlie Sheen was 19, and Brascia says that they "smoked pot and had sex" while they were filming Lucas, which premiered in 1986. Then, Charlie Sheen reportedly rejected the young actor, according to Brascia.
The two later reportedly had sex again nearly a decade later, after which Haim is stated to have gotten over the actor. By this period in Sheen's career, he had already moved on from early stardom, was in his mid-to-late twenties and was taking roles in movies like Major League II, Money Talks and even a guest stint on Friends.
Haim's friend Corey Feldman came out several years ago to reveal that he and Corey Haim were both taken advantage of as young actors in Hollywood. Although it took some time for Feldman to go into further detail regarding what he remembers from being a teenager in Hollywood, he recently went on Dr. Oz and named some of the people he says harmed him, including Jon Grissom, a man who was a former assistant to Feldman.
Corey Feldman has not spoken out about exactly what Corey Haim went through, and of course, Haim is no longer around to address the allegations himself. Haim passed away in 2010 at the age of 38 of natural causes.
Charlie Sheen, however, has been having a tough time for years, now. His issues became public when he was fired from the set of Two and a Half Men all the way back in 2011. He had a public breakdown on social media afterward, spawning the now famous hashtag #winning. He briefly got it together and made a comeback with the FX comedy Anger Management before revealing an HIV diagnosis on live television back in 2015. Since then, he has only had small roles in TV shows like #Cybriety and starred in the widely panned 9/11 film in 2017.
We'll let you know if any more news breaks in regards to these allegations. In the meantime, you can read the full National Enquirer report. The statement from Sheen's rep was given to People.

Conclusion, as detailed in the essay, Gothic architecture made contributions to the architectural world that revolutionized the building habits of the time as well influenced the social, religious and political culture throughout Western Europe. Whereas most other types of church buildings are covered by trusses, wooden roofs or stone barrel vaults, which do not permit large openings as can be found in Gothic architecture, the Gothic cathedrals are covered by a unique set of masonry vaults. It is interesting to note that many of the Northern European areas were predominately pagan, and only recently brought into the Church. Not even the candles could give the right amount of light the buildings needed. In early Gothic, these were often medievalist, involving ancient stone buildings with elaborate, Gothic arches, buttresses, passageways, and crypts. First, to inform about architecture, one must explain what. It has a permanence of its own and it conditions the mind as well as the footsteps of the people who make use. Make sure to discuss the overall symbolism in your answer and connect the symbolic meaning to architectural/sculptural design. This style permeated throughout the European countryside and was the prominent look of the Gothic period into the 1 5th century. This paper will examine how setting in gothic literature, plays an important role in the telling of a story by using Horace Walpoles The Castle of Otranto and Shirley Jacksons The House on Haunted Hill as examples.

It’s certainly an ambitious-looking project, but can the guys who made the first Matrix film so awesome make another epic, special effects filled, era-defining thrill ride of a movie?
With megastar Tom Hanks, Halle Berry and talented director Tim Tykwer (Run Lola Run) helping the brothers out on both ends of the camera respectively, Cloud Atlas may be the most ambitious and epic film ever. Seriously. Did you watch the trailer? It looks amazing.
Almost too amazing.
Cloud Atlas is one of those books that’s so epic in scope no one thought it possible to adapt for the silver screen. Except the Wachowskis. They’re crazy.
We’ve seen before what happens when films try to encapsulate dense, literary fiction—Watchmen was even-tempered at best—but we’ve also seen the adaptation process churn out some goodies, as in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. From the looks of the trailer, this film is on track to blow our minds away like they have never been blown before.
From the futuristic, Asian ladies dressed like Latex Barbies, to Tom Hanks switching facial prosthetics every 10 seconds, the 6-minute trailer is packed with so much imagery and plot it’s hard to even conceive how this film will play out. It seems like it should be 20 hours long. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
In any case, if the narrative of the film nosedives halfway through, at least you’ll have the impressive visuals to grasp onto until the three-hour, $100 million blockbuster fades to black.

PHIL CAMPBELL, Ala. (WHNT) - The tornado outbreak of 2011 will never be forgotten in the Franklin County town of Phil Campbell.
Not only were homes and businesses destroyed, the town's high school was left unusable.
Since a tornado swept through town, the Franklin County Board of Education has struggled with state and federal agencies to get the school rebuilt.
However, happier times are on the horizon for the Franklin County community. Construction workers have started the process of clearing land and moving dirt to make way for a new school.
"Finally the day has come that we can see some construction beginning," said Superintendent Gary Williams.
Crews began the tedious task of breaking up the old concrete foundation where Phil Campbell High School once stood, making way for a new $17-million dollar, state of the art facility.
“I know our students there, and our faculty, and people in the community are excited about it. You hear people talking all over," said Williams.
According to Williams, the new school will take between 18 and 24 months to complete.
In the meantime, students will continue to use temporary classrooms located just feet from the construction zone.
"We never imagined all the red tape and loop holes you have to jump through, it's just unbelievable. We fill like we are through most of them now, and we're ready to move forward," said Williams.
As the construction equipment chisels and chews through the old concrete, Williams sees a rallying point for the Phil Campbell community starting to come back from the dust that once stood here.
The Franklin County Board of Education has already spent $4-million dollars for portable classroom's and football field repairs at Phil Campbell High School.
That money is part of their $25-million dollar insurance settlement.

I’ve always found something deeply comforting about internet fan theories and fan fiction. We live in a world where almost anything we want to learn is just a few clicks away, and yet thousands of people have devoted hours of their lives to dissecting and reimagining elements of imagined stories. It’s a silly, mostly harmless exercise as well as a testament to the power of storytelling. It’s also an ever-fascinating look into the many ways different people interpret different works of art.
Half-baked fan theories, elaborate fan theories, fan theories that connect multiple fictional universes — I love them all. That’s why I started writing Really Internet. But every now and then, there is a theory that floats above the rest, transitioning from an interesting thought exercise to a glaring loophole capable of shattering fictional universes. The theory that Ferris Bueller was Cameron’s imaginary friend had that weight, as did the theory that the Rugrats babies were all secretly dead. However, there’s another world-altering fan theory hiding in your Netflix account. Shrek, the beloved Mike Meyers comedy, exists in the Bright universe, and it’s likely deeply racist.
WHAT’S THE THEORY?
It all started with one tweet from Giant Bomb‘s Associate Editor, Ben Pack:
Basically, in David Ayer‘s cop fantasy movie Bright, Will Smith makes a Shrek joke, confirming the existence of the film in this universe. But because Bright is a movie about a world in which orcs are so discriminated against they’re essentially treated like second class citizens, the fact that Shrek 1) exists and 2) is so commonly known that Will Smith can casually is shocking.
WHY IT’S NOT THAT CRAZY
First, let’s get to the moment in question. Will Smith’s character, LAPD officer Daryl Ward, makes his universe altering Shrek quip an hour and 15 minutes into the movie. By this point, Ward should have learned enough about the humanity of orcs to not be so flippantly racist, but that’s neither here nor there because this movie is bonkers:
The full quote is “So I need you to take your fat Shrek-looking ass back to your vehicle and drive the fuck home to Fiona. A’ight?” which establishes three things. 1) Shrek exists in this universe, 2) in Bright‘s version of Shrek there’s still a Fiona, and 3) Ward thinks that this random orc is larger than the already-husky Shrek. But what takes this quote from weird to upsetting is the time period of Bright.
Bright isn’t set in the future. It’s set in an alternate version of modern-day America, meaning that Shrek isn’t exactly like Song of the South, a film that was praised decades ago for its innovations in animation but now stands as a racist blight. In Bright‘s universe, this racially insensitive film came out roughly 16 years ago.
There is an argument to be made that Shrek is more racially insensitive rather than hatefully racist in this universe. Though Shrek spends a lot of time poking fun at its protagonist’s gross habits, the movie is ultimately about how he’s a good person. Shrek becomes the unwilling hero of the movie and saves the princess, who decides to become an ogre permanently just so she can be with him. It’s a sweet story of acceptance. However, it Bright’s case, it’s a story that features a character that looks very similar to an oppressed race and was made during a racially tumultuous time, making Shrek look potentially less heartwarming and far more problematic. That’s an insane amount of fictional social commentary to throw onto one of the funniest kids movies of all time. Also, Shrek is an ogre, not an orc. That’s just another racist strike for Ward.
And then there’s the Will Smith of it all. In another one of Smith’s movies, the vampire horror movie I Am Legend, Smith’s character is shown watching Shrek at one point. I Am Legend is another movie that’s set only a few years in the future, but still, it’s odd that Shrek exists in our universe, the I Am Legend universe, and the Bright universe.
Also, while we’re on the subject of cork-board connections, Smith starred in another early DreamWorks film that came out three years after Shrek, Shark Tale. Since the existence of Shrek in these movies likely proves that there is also a DreamWorks, it’s safe to assume there is also a colorful Finding Nemo knock-off in Bright and I Am Legend. Who played the lonely car wash worker Oscar in this Academy Award-nominated film? Was it still Smith? Is there another Will Smith running around in I Am Legend and Bright? Did those Smiths also stop rapping after all of their movies? And if not, who voices Oscar in these versions of Shark Tale, and who is their Fresh Prince?
WHY IT’S QUESTIONABLE
Shrek’s existence in Bright’s universe undoubtably raises a lot of questions, but there’s only one question I feel safe answering: Why is this reference in Bright? The answer comes down to bad writing. Bright is an objectively bad movie. It has some fun action scenes, but it barely makes sense on a plot level. The Shrek joke was probably something Max Landis or some other writer threw in without no thought about how it would effect the universes of these movies.

Brooklyn born Julian Velard's classic songwriting has already seen the twenty-something compared to legends Andrew Gold, Van Morrison and Harry Nilsson by media and tastemakers last year. After receiving rave reviews for his limited EP The Movies Without You on indie Lucky Number last autumn, Julian's first official single Jimmy Dean and Steve McQueen has recently been released. We caught up with the man himself to chat about everything from writing lyrics, his favourite summer songs and his earliest musical memories.
"I Like Music because… it makes me feel funny inside. Like hugging the radiator after a cold, wet day of playing in the snow.” Julian Velard
ILM: Your new single Jimmy Dean and Steve McQueen is out now. Can you give us your own personal description of the tracks whole vibe?
Julian: The song is about nostalgia. I wrote it around a pretty dark time in America, in the dead of one of NYC's hottest summers. I found myself in cool, dark theaters, trying to escape the heat and world. Films offer me a reprieve. For some reason I only completely let go with a bucket of popcorn in my lap. When I'm watching a movie, I'm always thinking, 'Why am I here and now and not there and then? Why am I not Steve McQueen in Cincinnati Kid? Why can't my life be like that?' It's from that feeling that the song was born.
ILM: You have recently played a number of UK live dates. How have they been?
Julian: Great! UK audiences are all about the music. In the States, people want you to be their friend on stage. Here people make up their mind whether they like you during the first song. And if you wander too much with yer banter, they tell you to shut up and play. Sets are short and sweet. Give em the hits!
ILM: Can you describe the Julian Velard process of writing and recording such good music?
Julian: I sit down with the best milk and cereal money can buy, eat the whole box, then put my thumb in the air and see which way the wind blows. It's not quite as glamorous, but that's pretty much the writing process. Completely random from one moment to the next, looking for an opening. Recording is hell. 5 minutes of fun, then 2 hours trying to make it work. Going in the studio is deep psychological diving and I look to do it as seldom as possible.
ILM: You have been championed for your writing and your lyrics. What are some of your key sources of inspiration?
Julian: I like to write in a conversational tone. I try not to say something in a song that I wouldn't say in real life. What makes a conversation great is the context, and I think it's the same in a song. Putting two lines together that have nothing to do with each other can make for something interesting.
ILM: Loads of people are using the Internet these days and getting their music out there before even getting a record deal. How has the Internet affected you?
Julian: I got my deal off myspace, so I would say it's helped me a lot. I'm a big geek so I've always been into cool websites, networking platforms, yada yada. I put a lot of time and energy into my presence on the web. I always think about what I wanna see, and try to do that. Check my website out as proof.
ILM: You are still fairly early in your career but you must have learnt a lot so far. Have you got any advice for others looking to come into music industry?
Julian: Become a doctor. Or a banker. And if you really must be a musician, develop a thick skin. Take in what everybody says to you, keep the relevant bits and ignore the rest. 95% of people's opinions are nonsense. It's a fact.
ILM: What are the future plans for Julian Velard?
Julian: Become extremely wealthy, buy my own personal Island, quit society and breed a race of roadies.
ILM: Can you describe your favourite place on Earth?
Julian: My bed with lots of movies, video games, and a cool girl.
ILM: What is your earliest musical memory?
Julian: The theme song to Reading Rainbow. It's a kid's program hosted by Levar Burton (the guy from Roots and Star Trek: Next Generation). That and the theme song from the TV show Benson. If I could point to what made me want to do music, it's those two things. And of course Michael Jackson Thriller. I love that record.
ILM: If you could create your ultimate summer time playlist, which tracks would you include?
Julian: If You Want Me To Say by Sly and The Family Stone, everything of Songs In The Key of Life, Talking Book, Innervisions, and Fullfullingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder. I Can't Go For That by Hall and Oates, Sweet Thing by Van Morrison, Got Me Workin' Day and Night by Michael Jackson, Jimmy Dean & Steve McQueen by Julian Velard (wink wink!), Trains To Brazil by Guillemots, Joanna by Kool and The Gang, Les Fleurs by Minnie Riperton... I could go on for hours. Seriously.
ILM: What’s in your CD player right now? (What are you listening to for pleasure?)
Julian: Tangled Up by Girls Aloud. I'm a cheeseball, I know.

Losing grip – There’s an IFS shaped whole in reality
Last column I pondered what (my) children want and expect from a good RC car: durability, capability, good looks and donuts. Now I find myself trying to apply their wishes to my own desires for my next build. I am starting to feel the itch to go on a diet of noodles and stale bread, in order to save up for another kit build. Considering that I am not a big fan of neither noodles nor stale bread, whatever I get has better be worth it.
I want a fun, all-round trail truck. In addition to my children’s expectations, it should be capable of a twenty to forty mile trekk on a wide variety of terrain – a subject in its own right. A jack of all trades, master of none.
Options are certainly plentiful, there’s so many 1:10 crawlers out there it’s impossible to keep track of them all. Axial, Cross RC, Element RC, Gmade, MST, RC4WD, SSD, Tamiya, Traxxas and Vanquish – all of them have something on offer. This is only counting kits, were I to consider an RTR another couple of brands would have to be added to the list. RTR might actually be the way to go, depending on weather, lunar phase, relative humidity, Mars’ position in relation to Jupiter, and whether I am hungry or not. Also, there is one specific vehicle, differing from the mainstream, not available as a kit: the Losi Lasernut. The offspring of a race buggy and the Rock Rey it seems. Anyway, as I eat my stale bread, I will try to keep an open mind upon looking at options.
Today, I won’t delve deep into the options available. What intrigues me is that one option is notably absent. Currently, there is no 2.2″ IFS rig on the market. No car with 2.2″ wheels, independent front suspension and trailing arms with a straight axle at the rear. Once there was the Axial Yeti. Then came the Losi Rock Rey. Now both are gone. Well, the Losi 1/6 Super Rock Rey is still here, but beyond my budget.
Let me state it again: there is a peculiar hole in the RC universe, and it is the precise size of a 2.2″ IFS car. I can see why the Yeti was discontinued a couple of years ago. Horizon bought Axial (right?), which meant that they suddenly had two similar horses in the stables. The Rock Rey was the better one of them, therefore the Yeti had to go. Not that I have driven the Losi Rock Rey, but word has it, it is a better setup.
I like my Axial Yeti, but it did come with a couple of problems. First, it was supposedly not very durable. I have never experienced this, since I built mine with plenty of upgrades from the start: SSD aluminum rear axle, STRC hubs and knuckles, RPM A-arms that I sleeved with aluminum tubing. Second, it can’t turn. Seriously, the turning radius is ridiculously large, especially with the heavier weight oil that is needed in the diffs for crawling. On loose ground, this is easily overcome with a bit of extra throttle input, but on the rocks it is debilitating. There was a few of fixes out there, one of them replacing the entire front end (bulkhead, differential, A-arms, the lot) with that from a Traxxas Slash! Not cheap.
But that’s all history now. Anyway, my point is that a 2.2″ IFS setup could be the most flexible and best all round performer possible. Imagine one with a lockable front differential! Lock it, and it would be a capable crawler, unlocked it could be a fun awesome basher. Sure, it would flip over more easily than a car with independent suspension all around, like the Lasernut, but not half as easily as a solid axle rig. A true jack of all trades.
I am sincerely hoping that someone out there is working on this right now. How I would love it if on of the Big Ones picked up this ball!
PS. There’s another hole out there as well, this one in Traxxas line up: a 1/24 crawler. It might be hard to remember, but the TRX-4 once was a huge surprise. When will we see them do a smaller version?

Each Friday during Lent, the Mason Knights of Columbus Council #9182 hosts a fish fry at St. James Catholic Church. Per tradition, practicing Catholics make sacrifices during Lent and abstain from eating meat on Friday as a reminder of Jesus’ crucifixion. “We remember the 40 days when Jesus was in the desert,” said Father Kusitino Cobona, the pastor at St. James.
Father Anthony Strouse and others from the St. John’s Student Center reflect on their anticipation of the announcement and share their reactions to the election of Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope.
Something that hasn’t happened for almost 600 years will happen on Feb. 28 — the pope will officially resign. Pope Benedict XVI announced Monday that he was resigning in about two weeks. According to a local diocese director of communication, a Pope hasn’t resigned since the year 1415. Michael Diebold, the director of communication for the diocese of Lansing said it was really unexpected for everyone, even people of the Catholic Church community in Lansing and East Lansing.

Sony has revealed that PS3 owners will be getting two new 3D Firmware upgrades this year - with the first, Blu-ray related fix in September.
The news was revealed by SCEE big cheese Mick Hocking at a presentation this morning - handily presented by CVG in full through here.
"In September this year, we're launching another Firmware upgrade - and this one is going to upgrade the PS3 to support Blu-ray movies in 3D," said Hocking.
"Again, you won't have to do anything - just connect your PS3. For the film market that's a very significant event.
"Then later in the year - we're not going to date it yet - the PS3 is going to support 3D photos. Of course the popularity of 3D isn't just going to come from movies and games. There's 3D cameras on the market, there's 3D camcorders coming on the market in the next 12 months as well, and 3D broadcasts.
"Crucially for us, PlayStation 3 will be able to store all types of 3D content. And we can do this through properly upgrading the Firmware on the platform."
Sony's first piece of 3D Firmware for PS3 was released last month.

I’m about 50 pages into a new history of WWI. New for me, at least. It came out last year, and is by Peter Englund, a Swedish historian and journalist.
So far, what is most striking is the quality of the writing, its vividness and power, and not just the author’s. He’s selected twenty people from several different countries to tell the story of the Great War, in their own words, from their own point of view, as they lived it day to day.
In a sense, it’s like a good novel, shaped into a symphony of voices, democratic, diverse. In another, it’s like a cubist painting, simultaneous, flaunting its omnihood. Sometimes Englund quotes them at length, using their journals and letters. Other times he paraphrases their writings. And it makes me wonder: has our facility with language declined to the point that our novelists write about as well as the average, educated Joe or Jane from a century ago? Or is it just that the author chose people who wrote solid prose to begin with?
He did not choose famous people, or professional writers — at least that I’ve encountered so far. He chose a host of Leopold Blooms, mostly, everyday men and women, living through extraordinary moments, in an extraordinarily horrific time. But their words evoke the sights, sounds, smells and feelings of war, of exile, of bombs and makeshift hospitals and terror. Their words convey the fear and confusion that must always accompany war. This is a book of immediacy, full contact, not a bird’s eye view of things seen from a distance. We are right there on the ground, in the midst of things, but not in the trenches yet. I am waiting to see how he manages to hew the line he draws in his intro. A book about the Great War, but not about specific battles and geopolitics.
Humans have been through this so many times, world without end. It is good that we read about the lives of the so-called “common people” who suffer through these insane explosions of irrationality. If we heard nothing but the stage-managed cheer-leading from “official” sources, we might never grow to despise war. We might, instead, start them due to their supposedly high-voltage Romantic punch.
More about the book in days to come . . .

Another day, another trip down the “who is Leeds United going to hire now” lane, with denials, rumors, and outright falsehoods being spread on Twitter. Ranieri’s agent says that “he’s had no contact” and isn’t in the running for the job at Elland Road. Even Alan Pardew, despite being the bookies’ favorite, apparently isn’t in the running either.
I've made enquiries about Pardew at the Leeds end. Been told unequivocally that he isn't being considered.— Phil Hay (@PhilHayYEP) June 7, 2017
But why are almost all of the candidates from the UK? Even the “foreign” ones, like Juande Ramos or Claudio Ranieri, are men that have managed in England before. Why would a newcomer to England and football ownership limit himself to only looking at managers with history in England?
So far, Radrizzani has hired Ivan Bravo and Victor Orta to run the football operations at the club. Bravo made his name at Real Madrid before moving to run the Aspire Academy in Qatar, which Radrizzani really admired and brought him aboard because of the work he did there. Victor Orta made his name at Sevilla before moving first to Zenit St. Petersburg and then back to La Liga at Elche CF before coming to Middlesbrough. Orta has even hired a scout from Sevilla, Dani Salas, to move to Leeds.
Why would Radrizzani break with his apparent philosophy of looking at Spain, or people that were successful in Spain, to suddenly hire an also-ran Premier League manager? It’s shocking that Sam Allardyce and David Moyes haven’t been favorites so far, but the week is still young.
David Moyes has gone from being compared to Sir Alex and Arsene Wenger to destroying United, Sociedad and Sunderland in the space of 4 years— Pogboom (@CruiseFootball) May 22, 2017
Rather than look to England for potential candidates, why not look at some up and coming managers from La Liga? We floated the name Mauricio Pellegrino after his work at Deportivo Alaves this past year, and names like his will be more likely to be named than another failed English manager.
Radrizzani appears to be wanting to bring a more “continental” feel to the club with the appointment of a Director of Football, and it only makes sense to bring in a manager who is comfortable with this set-up. It also makes sense that he would try to bring in someone who Orta may be comfortable with, since the two of them will be charting the future at Elland Road for the foreseeable future.
So when you see a bunch of names like Pardew or Allardyce or even Sean Dyche bandied around on Twitter ask yourself, why would the new ownership look to them? The new people in charge have look to Spain for all the other positions, so why not manager?

The world, I use as a canvas to reflect on what I see. Many are blind to what is happening in the world today.
The human race need to step back and take a good look at reality. How hard is it to say, "Something is not right?"
Th world is in chaos, and yet we turn and walk away from the problems. We seems to be more interested in, what movie star has gotten fat and what will be the so called reality show.
A reality show would be truth and not fiction just to get ratings. But this is who we all have become. We are living in world of make believe, because we cannot except reality.

The study in question has not been peer reviewed and does not claim a causal link between vaccination and death.
A paper being discussed online has been cited as suggesting a link between excess deaths and COVID-19 vaccination efforts. The study examines recorded deaths in Germany over the last two years and claims a significant correlation between the country's vaccine administration program and excess deaths across age groups.
Since it appeared online, the paper has been picked up by news organizations and publications skeptical of COVID-19 vaccinations. Over the last few months, such outlets have become increasingly vocal on unexplained and excess deaths, which some have claimed result from the widespread rollout of vaccines.
A paper has indeed been posted that claims to have identified a correlation between excess deaths in Germany and the country's vaccine rollout. There are, however, several issues with the proposition that this paper supports a concrete link between vaccinations and death. The most important of these to note is that correlation does not entail causation. The paper's authors note this fact; while they make it clear that they believe that their results suggest a potential causal link between vaccination and excess death, they state:
"Covariation does not neccessarily [sic] imply causation, further studies are needed to investigate this assumption."
A further issue in relying on this study is that it appears to have been posted as a preprint rather than a peer-reviewed publication. While preprints can – and often do – contain solid, verifiable information, the comparative lack of scrutiny such papers receive can lead to the publication of material that would otherwise fail to meet the standards necessary for publication through reputable academic channels.
It must be noted that beyond this study, there is a body of evidence refuting the existence of a causal link between COVID-19 vaccination and widespread deaths. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, published in The Lancet, states that the side effects of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines are mild in the vast majority of cases. While researchers in the U.S. identified 4496 instances of deaths following vaccination, nothing in the available data suggested a causal link.
Some reports have pointed to increasing numbers of excess deaths. There are, however, numerous factors that could have accounted for these beyond the administration of vaccines, such as the lack of treatment for unrelated health problems.
While there is no evidence that vaccines are related to widespread excess deaths, the U.K.'s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency has identified instances in which recipients of the AstraZeneca vaccine suffered from blood clotting. As of 1 September 2022, 80 deaths resulting from such clotting have been recorded under the Agency's Yellow Card Reporting Scheme. The Agency points out that "Vaccination is the single most effective way to reduce deaths and severe illness" and there is no evidence that widespread excess deaths are attributable to these side effects.
Claims that this study demonstrates a link between COVID-19 vaccines and excess deaths are misleading. The study in question is not peer reviewed and does not claim to demonstrate anything beyond a correlation between vaccination rollouts and excess deaths. No causal link has been demonstrated.

Living Room / March 1, 2018 / Leah Venegas
For refreshing the look of the hall without changing the other elements such as the sofas and the flooring, using wall paper to coat one of the walls adds a lovely decorative element to the room. Installing an eye-catching accessory such as a mirror with a bright toned frame will make the wall the focal point in the hall. Choose a wall paper that matches the décor in the rest of the space.
The shades of grey are modern and chic. The coolness of the shade and the elegant charm it spreads all over soothe the nerves and relaxes the mind. The concrete walls, carpeted floor, the paintings on the wall and even the sofa covers; everything has a shade of grey in it. The only colour is a touch of blue. It’s trendy, youthful and pleasing to the eyes.

Don’t ask Don’t Tell, was not implimented to keep Gay’s out of the military, it was las proposed by Bill Clinton and passed by Congress to allow gays to serve in the U.S. millitary. Previous to Don’t ask Don’t Tell, gays were banned outright. Well almost … Gays have always served, some more discretely than others. The DADT seemed pretty reasonable at the time, discretion is in ones proclivities is usually a good idea in most social and employment environments.
I believe the system still would be workable, if it weren’t for security clearances, where ones personal life might be looked at just a little closer what most of us need to bear. Security Clearances often are the way to career choices and advancement in the military. Don’t Ask Don’t Tell would raise flags on gay applicants for any security clearance investigations.
Don’t Ask Don’t Tell worked pretty well for 17 years, but society moves on. The law was undergoing judicial challenges, and would likely eventually fail. Congress killing the DADT will allow the Armed services to take control of the dismantling the DADT policies, a better idea than doing so under court orders.
I cannot express how grateful I am that this didn’t happen at the rap of a judge’s gavel. Nothing could have been more destructive than had our military been forced to make this change not because our commanders had been directed to do so by our elected civilian leaders, but by judicial fiat. Simply put, the judicial branch is not (despite this Administration’s obsession with trying our enemies in civilian courts) charged with, nor does it have the temperament for, taking on the responsibility of national security. While all would agree that the policy is discriminatory, that in and of itself is a very very poor reason to make such a huge change to policy. For example, the ADA doesn’t quite apply to the military, now, does it? On the other hand, give me a truly national-defense reason for considering applying it so, and I (and all military commanders) will be all ears.
Moral conservatives, aren’t going to like this, but our military’s strength comes from its reflection of American society. Congress killing DADT isn’t about approving a gay lifestyle, but acknowledging that gays are a part of our society and culture and that they have a right to contribute. We don’t know if stripping away the old policy will be disruptive. What we do know is that this iosn’t the first time the military has undergone social upheaval. When Harry Truman signed the desegregation orders in 1948. The Armed forces successfully took up the challenge. We are now engaged in two wars. We can only hope that this doesn’t have a negative impact on our effort. I don’t believe it will.

One of the things I really wanted to explore this year at Swanwick was more non-fiction. Having enjoyed (and learned lots at) Kathryn Aalto’s course on creative non-fiction last year, I was chuffed to see she was back, this time to tell us about researching as a writer. It was a great follow-on from last year, going into the detail of the best ways to gather research for a project.
I also attended the first half of Jacqueline Jeynes’ course on non-fiction itself, looking at how to make the most of our life experiences. Seeing life stages physically mapped out on the pages, from which you could brainstorm possible ideas for articles, was really useful. As was the second half of Sue Moorcroft’s course on popular fiction, talking about the best way to make the text come alive. As Kathryn Aalto had said last year, and emphasised again this year, using fictional devices in non-fiction can really help your writing come to life. Although perhaps more suited to memoir than the project I’m currently thinking about, seeing how the two weave together was extremely valuable.
The idea may come to nothing, but where there’s a will there a way, and as the “new project notebook” has already been set up, it cannot hurt to give things a go. It’s been buzzing around for the last couple of months, and at the end of the day, I can use the self-publishing advice I picked up during the week as well!
And the project itself? Well, the superstitious wuss in me won’t let me say the name in public just yet, but here’s a picture clue, to whet the appetite. Oh yes, and I also discovered Pixabay…

There are two types of people at Christmas: those who delight at playing Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is You on repeat, and those who spend the festivities muttering "Bah, humbug" under their breath.
It seems some of us have more holiday cheer than others, which raises the question about whether Christmas spirit actually exists - and if so, where would we store it?
New research published in this month's British Medical Journal suggests Christmas spirit is actually stored in our mind. The finding came after studying the brain scans of people who have different experiences of Christmas.
Volunteers were surveyed to see if they had ever celebrated Christmas and if their associations with the holiday were positive or negative. From their answers, 20 participants were found to be suitable, 10 of whom were classed as Christmas celebrators and 10 as a non-Christmas group.
The volunteers were placed in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner and their resting brains scanned, which showed the same normal cerebral perfusion blood flow for both groups. A slideshow of 84 images were then played to them through a pair of video goggles, with some of the images containing Christmas themes.
During the viewing, the scientist used the scanner to see if any specific images caused measurable changes in blood flow and blood oxygenation to parts of the brain, and if so, if they were similar for the two groups.
Because there is a tight coupling between neural activity and blood flow, fMRI scans are often used to measure blood-flow changes which can then be used as a surrogate for increased brain activity showing which parts of the brain are active at the time of the scan.
From the results they found that volunteers who had never celebrated Christmas showed no change in the blood flow for any images viewed. However, the Christmas-loving volunteers produced scans where several neural networks lit up across regions of the brain including the parietal lobules, premotor cortex, and the somatosensory cortex whenever a Christmas image was shown, implying that their Christmas spirit resided in the areas of the brain associated with recollection of joyful emotions, pleasant food experience memories and retrieving relevant social information from faces.
This fun study does seem to locate cerebral regions which are more active in people who celebrate Christmas.
You may be wondering why scientists would spend so much time and money searching for something so trivial, but like many scientific discoveries, this Christmas-themed study came about partly by accident and partly for fun when they were looking at how blood flow in the brain changes in migraine-prone patients.
As they tried to catch the physiology of the migraine process inside an fMRI scanner, they discovered that they needed to find something to do for the patients lying in a very boring scanner waiting for a migraine to happen, and for the control non-migraine suffering volunteers being scanned for baseline brain measurements.
Science, like the invention of post-it notes, sometimes goes this way where you are looking for one thing, and happen to stumble on another.
Although the definition of Christmas spirit is not yet scientifically agreed upon, this fun study does seem to locate cerebral regions which are more active in people who celebrate Christmas. The evidence shows it is activated by images of Christmas themes, but with my experience of several overly happy people this season, I think it can also be brought on by overplayed Christmas music, fake pine-scented oils and bad cracker jokes.
