FRANKFURT — Guy walks into a bar. An astronaut, actually, and he doesn’t really walk. Floats is more like it, because the bar is orbiting somewhere around Saturn.
Orders a fruit juice. Sucks it up with a tube that pokes out from his space suit. Problem is, something goes wrong, and the juice starts filling his helmet. The guy starts panicking. “Houston, we have a problem,” he cries.
Enter Alice Cooper. Alice Cooper? That’s right, and the sexagenarian shock rocker’s got a hammer. He calmly smashes out the Plexiglas face part of the spaceman’s helmet. Fruit juice drains out, problem solved.
“Just a question of technology,” says Mr. Cooper, brandishing the hammer.
So goes a television spot that is part of an advertising campaign that German viewers could hardly avoid in recent months. Mr. Cooper plays the proprietor of Coopers Bar, a grungy, outer-solar-system watering hole patronized by gruesome aliens and the occasional wayward space agency employee.
The campaign, which both satirizes and promotes modern technology, has helped rescue sales at Saturn, a chain of electronics outlets that belongs to Metro Group, the largest German retailer.
While Metro’s sales slipped 3.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009, to €19.4 billion, or $26.4 billion, sales at Saturn and its sister chain Media Markt rose 3.7 percent, to €6.5 billion — not bad, considering that Germany is emerging from recession.
Metro even mentioned in its most recent earnings statement in January that “successful ad campaigns” had helped increase electronics sales at Saturn and Media Markt.
Alas, Metro did not mention Mr. Cooper by name, passing up an opportunity to become possibly the first publicly listed company ever to incorporate the author of the song “Love’s a Loaded Gun” into a quarterly earnings report.
Metro does not disclose sales for Media Markt and Saturn separately, so it is difficult to measure Mr. Cooper’s impact, especially since the sister chain also has a new ad campaign featuring the German comedian Mario Barth.
Still, it is fair to say that Mr. Cooper, who made his name in the 1970s with a song about dynamiting the local high school and who helped popularize the use of mascara by male musicians, is playing a small but significant role in propping up German consumer spending.
“It turned out really, really good,” Mr. Cooper said of the campaign.
Mr. Cooper, who in real life has given up drinking and become a fanatic golfer, said he was surprised to see his face plastered on buses and billboards when he performed in the city of Schwerin, in northeastern Germany, during the height of the recent Christmas advertising season.
“I didn’t realize what a big deal it was,” Mr. Cooper said by telephone from Nashville, Tennessee, where he was working on songs for his 26th studio album.
In fact, the ad campaign is a big deal. Saturn and Media Markt are by far Germany’s largest advertisers, spending a combined €51 million in January alone, according to Nielsen Media Research.
The series of 10 Saturn commercials shot in Los Angeles cost about €1 million to produce, with much of the money spent on the mechanized rubber aliens that populate the outer-space bar. In a sign that Saturn managers are happy with the campaign, the retailer plans to begin shooting another round of spots at the end of this month.
Mr. Cooper’s success as a pitchman is doubly surprising because the stringy-haired 62-year-old takes over as Saturn spokesman from a sexy female cyborg who looked like the kind of adolescent-boy fantasy who turns up so often in Mr. Cooper’s songs.
The cyborg spokeswoman, who appeared for a decade, seemed to belong to an age when technology was exotic, while Mr. Cooper gently pokes fun at science. In one spot, for example, the alien barflies are watching a soccer game when the picture goes fuzzy and, instead, an oom-pah band appears on the screen.
As the aliens howl in dismay, Mr. Cooper calmly adjusts a rack of antlers above the television set until the game reappears. Then he delivers the tag line, “Just a question of technology,” or in German, “Alles eine Frage der Technik.” The spots then usually lead into a more specific promotion for electronic goods like computers or flat-screen televisions, delivered by a different voiceover.
Actually, Mr. Cooper only lip syncs the tag line, despite his best efforts — which can be seen on YouTube — to manage the German. “I thought I had it down pretty good but they wound up dubbing it,” Mr. Cooper said, sounding mildly disappointed.
The commercials could be read as a statement on the evolution of technology from exotic to everyday, but Saturn ad people say they just aimed to promote the brand in an entertaining way that could be adapted to different media.
“People appreciate it if you don’t bore them,” said Stefanie Wurst, a partner at the ad agency Scholz & Friends in Berlin, which did the creative work.
Saturn chose Mr. Cooper less for his celebrity than for his skills as an actor. He has appeared in 13 movies, he said, including a turn as the adoptive father of Freddy Krueger in an installment of the “Nightmare on Elm Street” slasher franchise.
Mr. Cooper said he still sells out concerts in Germany, but it is safe to say his fan base tends to be north of 40 years old. Alex Feil, 32-year-old director of the Saturn commercials, said he became a fan of Mr. Cooper’s only after meeting him.
“For younger people he’s just a weird guy — an interesting guy,” Mr. Feil said.
Mr. Cooper’s main virtue may be that he looks like someone who could handle a room full of drunken aliens. “We looked for someone very unusual and credible in this setting,” Ms. Wurst said.
Or as Mr. Cooper put it, “I’m the straightest looking one there.”
On the telephone, Mr. Cooper comes across as amiable and patient, and both Mr. Feil and Ms. Wurst described him as easy to work with. Though once known for rock-star excess, Mr. Cooper spent breaks in the shooting watching golf on television, according to Mr. Feil.
Mr. Cooper denies this, however, insisting that he watched DVDs of schlocky old kung fu movies.
Mr. Cooper’s affability may come as a surprise to anyone who has seen an Alice Cooper concert, in which the singer apparently is routinely electrocuted, guillotined and pierced by metal spikes.
If the stage persona was ever a reflection of the real Mr. Cooper, it is not anymore. “I’ve always felt that the further I am away from my real character, the more effective I am,” he said. “He’s a guy even I wouldn’t want to hang out with.”
For all the effect that Mr. Cooper has had on Saturn sales, he conceded that he had never actually been inside one of the stores. But he promised to visit one in August when he plays the Wacken Open Air heavy metal festival in northern Germany.
He added, “I should get a discount.”

Sandwiches reach a new high at Fat Sal’s in Pacific Beach
By Kelley Carlson
When it comes to food from Fat Sal’s, the rule is that there are no rules. Located in the heart of Pacific Beach, this sandwich shop – owned by longtime pals Josh Stone, Sal Capek and Jerry Ferrara (of “Entourage” fame) — brings unconventional sandwich combinations to the table. It’s perhaps best known for its “Fat Sandwiches” — sub rolls that intermix meats, fried foods and assorted condiments — with a bit of New York style.
Many of the “Fat Sandwiches” are named for their creators, whose imaginations seemingly ran wild. For example, the Fat Sal (named for Capek) melds thinly sliced Boar’s Head roast beef, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, fries, brown gravy and mayo on a garlic hero.
There’s also Ferrara’s Fat Jerry, which merges breakfast and lunch items: cheesesteak, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, bacon, fried eggs, fries, mayo, ketchup, salt and pepper, also on a hero.
The daddy of them all is the Big Fat Fatty, a 27-inch, 10-pound behemoth that contains practically everything but the kitchen sink: cheesesteak, cheeseburgers, pastrami, chicken fingers, bacon, mozzarella sticks, fried eggs, jalapeño poppers, fries, onion rings, chili, marinara and fat sauce.
If you finish it in 40 minutes or less, it’s free and you get a sandwich named after you. If you fail, you have to pay the hefty $50 bill. According to Stone and Capek, at least 20 people have tried it – unsuccessfully – at the PB location. However, two people rose up to the challenge and conquered it at the original site in Westwood/UCLA.
Subsequently, there are subs that now carry the monikers of Fat Jaime and Fat Banh Miki, the latter a play on the sweet-and-spicy Vietnamese banh mi sandwich.
Toward the holidays, there are specialty sandwiches offered such as the Fat Pilgrim, which is essentially Thanksgiving dinner between two slices of bread, including roasted turkey and stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy and fries.
The menus are similar at each Fat Sal’s location – there’s also a site in Hollywood and one under construction in Austin, Texas – with a unique sandwich at each one that’s geared toward the community it’s in. For the relatively new PB site, Stone and Capek are entertaining the idea of a fish taco on a sub, and they’re soliciting feedback via Twitter, Facebook and in-store.
Naturally, to accompany these Fat Sandwiches, there are Fat Fries – but the portion is large enough to be a stand-alone meal or to share among buddies. Fries are piled high on an 8-inch round aluminum tin, with toppings such as Buffalo Chicken Cheese.
Then there are the shakes. There are standard flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and coffee, but of course, there is the “Fat” version. They’re so thick, they’re served with boba straws and a spoon. One kind blends vanilla ice cream with an entire slice of New York cheesecake, strawberries and graham cracker crumbs.
But not everything is “fat” at Fat Sal’s. There are hot dogs and Angus burgers that are never frozen.
On the lighter side, there are wraps and salads, including a Spinach Chicken Salad with a mixture of grilled and marinated chicken breast pieces, dried cranberries, candied walnuts, gorgonzola, Granny Smith apples and balsamic vinaigrette. Stone also revealed there is a secret-but-not-so-secret menu that can be found online, or guests can ask the employees.
As one might expect of a sandwich shop, Fat Sal’s is a casual place to visit. It’s easy to kick back at a community table and watch a game on a flat-screen TV while observing people strolling along Garnet Avenue. Old-school hip-hop and reggae tunes enhance the East Coast vibe. After a day at the beach, some customers enjoy hanging out on the back patio, which features a semi-covered astrodome. Parking for Fat Sal’s is on the street

Yeah, I think this vet choose exactly the right term: It's cheesy of Scott Brown to pretend his two weeks in Afghanistan are on a par with National Guard members who served a full tour of duty:
WASHINGTON -- The man who inspired Sen. Scott Brown to write a bill making it illegal to falsely claim military honors said he thinks the Massachusetts Republican is stretching the truth when he claims to have "served in Afghanistan."Brown made the Afghanistan declaration in his recent debate with his Democratic opponent for the Senate seat, Elizabeth Warren.
But Brown's service in Afghanistan was not combat. It was part of his annual two-week stint with the National Guard, in which he requested, in a highly unusual move, to serve in Afghanistan.
"It sounds to me like we just got another Blumenthal Connecticut, Mark Kirk type things there," said Vietnam veteran Doug Sterner, referring to exaggerated military claims two years ago by now-Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Mark Kirk (R-Ill.)"I thought it was seriously misleading," said Sterner, whose website outing heroes was the basis for Brown's "Stolen Valor" bill. Sterner's criticism echoes a Boston Globe editorial published Thursday morning.
"I think it does go to an issue of personal character and that concerns me," added Sterner, who earlier this year broke with Brown and has endorsed Warren.
Sterner said it wasn't that Brown's service was with the National Guard that's the problem. Scores of Guard members have been recipients of the Medal of Honor, he noted. Brown's mistake, he said, was implying that his service in Afghanistan was a real tour of duty.
"I would be the last person to denigrate anybody's National Guard service, but I thought the claim, putting himself on par with men and women who have done combat tours, often in excess of a year, 14 months, was a pretty cheesy thing to do," Sterner said.
He allowed that Brown can legitimately claim spending time in Afghanistan. But he said he also thought it broke the spirit of what Brown tried to with the Stolen Valor Act, which Brown himself said was aimed at stopping people from benefiting by swiping the real glory from others.

I went to a locksmith and he told me to buy a Ford Aerostar ignition cylinder instead of a new focus cylinder. He said he's been gettin' at least 4-5 focii a week n that if i put in another focus ignition cylinder, it would probably fail again later on. So I bought the Aerostar cylinder as the locksmith said, had my key matched to it, n had my dad install it. Costed about $45 for the cylinder and $35 for the locksmith to match my key to the cylinder. I hope this helps anyone and prevents future ignition cylinder lock-ups. Oh yeah, my ford dealer even gave me trouble when i wanted to buy the aerostar part. What's their problem? This is the last ford i ever own!

the best mix i've heard in a long damn time


COUNCILLORS have approved plans for 12 new flats – despite dozens of villagers objecting.
Kirklees Council’s Huddersfield Planning Sub-committee gave outline permission for the development at Sigott Street in Longwood.
The council will build eight two-bedroom apartments and four single-bedroom flats to provide more affordable housing in the village.
Twenty-eight residents wrote to the sub-committee to object to the plan.
Veronica Brand told Thursday’s meeting: “Our major concern is the impact of the development on traffic and parking.”
Phillip Taylor added: “I feel our quality of life is going to be totally destroyed by planting houses on the street.
“The development would be three storeys high which would block out the sun in winter.”
David Huyton spoke on behalf of the council.
He said: “We’re seeking to deliver 550 affordable rented homes across Kirklees. This development is designed to meet housing needs in the area.”
Lindley Conservative Clr Tony Brice spoke against the plan. He said: “I think it will generate too much congestion.”
However, Clr Brice was the only sub-committee member to vote against the plan, which was passed by six votes to one.

In jittery Cleveland, security tight as protests and cops-on-bikes get rolling
CLEVELAND — Rage? Rancor? Violence? That wasn’t the situation early Sunday afternoon when about 2,000 Clevelanders joined hands at the Hope Memorial Bridge, spanning the Cuyahoga River with a message of peace and love. “Stand For Love,” their T-shirts said. The event was conceived by a nun, Sister Rita Petruziello of the congregation of St. Joseph.
When police arrived, about two dozen officers pedaling slowly on bikes, the demonstrators clapped respectfully.
“This is crazy. This is fantastic. Wow, if there was ever a time to do it!” exulted Joy Roller, who had helped organize the Circle the City With Love demonstration on the eve of the Republican National Convention.
The love-and-peace people have their work cut out for them. Rarely has a national convention incited so many jitters. There has been widespread speculation about possible clashes between supporters and opponents of Donald Trump. A major skirmish could occur Monday when pro-Trump demonstrators hold a midday rally.
And the convention comes in the middle of an extraordinarily violent summer that has seen police shootings, huge protest marches, the Dallas police ambush, as well as attacks in Orlando, Florida, and Nice, France. More horrific news came Sunday morning, with reports of multiple police officers shot and killed in Baton Rouge.
“There’s an awful lot of fear out there,” said Jim Wilson, a retired law professor who participated in the bridge demonstration. “The last thing poor Cleveland needs right now is to become Chicago ‘68.”
But even as local hospitals open up extra bed space in case of mass casualties, and battalions of police officers on bikes prepare to swarm around the protest areas, the city leaders here and many of the residents are determined to put a bright, sunny, Midwest Nice face on this week’s GOP gathering.
“We are friendly. This is a good place to be. And we want people to come back,” the mayor’s media relations director, Daniel Williams, said Sunday on a bright morning with chamber of commerce weather. “This is a Midwest city with a Southern hospitality.”
On Sunday there was no mistaking that a huge political wave was crashing upon this city. Many of the billboards have political messages, including one, from a group opposing homophobia, that features an artist’s rendering of Donald Trump about to engage in a lip lock with Sen. Ted Cruz.
An airplane circled the skies above Cleveland pulling a banner that said: “Hillary For Prison 2016.”
“Don’t Trust the Liberal Media” an electronic billboard warned.
Jersey barriers, tall fencing and police checkpoints abound. There are multiple security zones. The delegates will assemble in the Quicken Loans Arena — known locally as “the Q” — while 15,000 media people will work two-thirds of a mile away at the convention center.
This is the first Republican convention here since 1936. You don’t have to Google that bit of information, because a huge banner draped on the side of a building on Euclid Avenue mentions it. There are also signs with fun facts about Cleveland, such as:
“In 1924, Cleveland became home to Hector Boiardi’s first restaurant. Today, you can find his famous sauce under the name Chef Boyardee.”
And: “The first major rock + roll concert, the Moondog Coronation Ball, was in Cleveland in 1952.”
The city caught friendly weather this weekend after a Saturday morning rainstorm. The air cleared. The sun, as red as a panic button, set over Lake Erie on Saturday evening as temperatures mellowed into the 60s. The visitor might think: What’s not to like about Cleveland?!
The greeters are everywhere, many of them volunteers, wearing white shirts and red caps. Travelers getting off their planes will immediately encounter people handing out maps and city guides.
“We the People Welcome You to Cleveland” declare the lamppost banners hung all over the city.
How many people will see those welcome banners is unclear. The city has said it expects 50,000 people. But some major corporate sponsors have pulled out. A number or prominent Republicans — and not just the ones from the Bush family — are skipping the convention, which will nominate the anti-establishment real estate tycoon from New York.
The Cleveland police, bolstered with federal dollars for security, bought 300 bikes and trained officers how to do their jobs on two wheels.
Although the Hope Memorial Bridge event was by far the largest demonstration of the day, the one that drew the most intense police presence began a few hours later, when several hundred protesters, from diverse organizations, marched into downtown.
Many were protesting racism and calling for indictments of police who have shot unarmed African Americans. Two protestors carried a papier-mâché pig with a Trump-like mop of hair atop a mock silver platter garnished with dollar bills.
“There is a broad base here because everyone realizes we need to come together to stop Donald Trump,” said Bryan Hambley, 31, a doctor who organizes doctors and nurses to oppose the presumptive GOP nominee.
The protest remained peaceful and everyone dispersed as the police slowly advanced, on horseback, bicycles and on foot, and cleared the streets in advance of a large convention welcoming party on the lakefront.
The state has an open-carry law that permits people to walk around with loaded handguns or long guns. There was no sign anyone brought firearms to the first protest march, held Saturday, but by Sunday a man with a long rifle slung over his shoulder attracted a cluster of cameras and curious onlookers.
“We’re not going to impede their Second Amendment rights,” Police Chief Calvin Williams said at a mid-morning news conference. But he said people have a legal responsibility not to menace anyone with those weapons — or be perceived as being menacing. After the news conference, he said in an interview that his officers have been trained to approach anyone carrying a gun openly and explain the law to them.
“We keep an eye on them. If we think they’re an issue, we kind of stay with them. If we don’t think they’re an issue, they go about their business,” Williams told The Washington Post.
After the Baton Rouge shooting, police union president Steve Loomis called for Ohio’s governor to ban open carry of weapons in Cuyahoga County for the week, according to Fox8 TV.
Mayor Frank Jackson said in an interview that his goal is for the Republicans to have a successful convention and for Cleveland to remain safe and secure. The convention, however fraught with dangers at a time of national insecurity, could be a boon for a city once derided as the Mistake on the Lake but seemingly on the way up — having just celebrated an NBA championship with a public gathering that drew a million people.
“It’s open for business. It’s business with some inconvenience,” the mayor said of his city after being slightly late for the news conference (“We’re learning to navigate road closures and fencing”).
A young man at the news conference said people under 21 have a hard time finding a public restroom — since they cannot go into bars — and said he was told by a police officer “to go down the alley.’
Williams responded, “We have port-o-potties all over downtown. They’re green things with a white top.”
The chief said the city has been preparing for the Republican National Convention for two years and has brought in “thousands” of officers from “hundreds” of other police departments for additional security, some as far away as California, Florida and Maine.
“I’m ready to get this started, to be honest,” Williams said. “It’s game time.”

There has been a pick out-up in the sales of electric vehicles (EV) in India inside the previous few years. Even in worldwide markets, EVs have been in range and inside the years yet to come, a large number of people will shift from conventional cars (petrol and diesel) towards EV. Currently, rates rates for EV are much less by 10-15% compared to diesel and petrol, however fees are going to be hardened going ahead.
Just like every other automobile, even an EV needs insurance as it offers financial protection in opposition to damages on your car as a result of injuries. The insurance also covers you towards liabilities springing up from any assets harm, fatality, or damage brought about to another man or woman in accidents regarding your automobile.
Currently, a automobile exceeding 65-kilowatt potential (KW) expenses insurance charges of round 6,700. While for 30-sixty five KW it prices Rs 2,seven hundred. On different hand, third celebration rates come inside the variety of Rs 3,211 for a 100-1500 cc automobile.
In developed markets, EVs are getting greater attractive to customers as their cost declines and new models are launched. However, weather change is the biggest unmarried driver in the back of the frenzy for EV sales going forward.
There are three foremost types like battery electric powered motors (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric powered automobiles (PHEVs), and hybrid electric powered vehicles (HEVs). BEVs, additionally referred to as all-electric powered automobiles, depend one hundred% on battery power, while PHEVs and HEVs complement electric energy with traditional combustion engines.
In Indian like other automobile coverage, citizens are legally certain to keep at the least a third-celebration vehicle coverage with a view to drive on public roads. This stipulation is underneath the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988. Driving without insurance is a violation of the law.

The insurance covers you against damages due to injuries, herbal calamities, acts of violence, and greater. A comprehensive insurance coverage additionally safeguards you from losses because of robbery.
With your electric powered automobile coverage policy, similar to with all normal car coverage regulations, you get 1/3-party coverage, which is remitted via law in India. However, nonetheless, EV coverage is on the nascent degree in India.
But because the sales enhance, the charges might go up going forward as cost and spare parts fees cross up. As we have seen sure spare components of EV are more expensive whilst as compared to standard vehicles and repair paintings for electric motors is also high-priced. Repair paintings for electric powered motors can simplest be accomplished with the aid of technical specialists.
Even now there are a lack of skilled technicians in India and if an accident occurs and the additives of your electric vehicle require restore, there’s a opportunity that policyholders won’t get the components easily or skilled technicians might not be without problems available.

Finally, a vehicle insurance coverage is a ought to, whether or not one buys petrol, diesel, or electric automobile. By paying a small top class, a policyholder should buy safety towards unexpected events inside the destiny.

I’ve been a fan of RazoRock as a company long before I tried any of their products. Joe from RazoRock was very helpful in the early days of putting this blog together, and he has offered me valuable advice from time to time since starting. So I am very happy to have the opportunity to finally review one of RazoRock’s shaving soaps. Hopefully, the first of many. Of course I am committed to being honest, open and objective in my posts, as well as only recommending products that I would use myself.
I think Razorock has close to twenty different shaving soaps available in their portfolio of products, so why did I decide to start with The “Zi’ Peppino” for my first review? Well, it’s probably not as well known as their “XXX” Shaving Soap or the very well regarded P.160 Special Shaving Soap. Additionally, I liked the unique name, I wanted to know what green tobacco smelled like and I was extremely curious to discover what kind of shave I could really get for such an affordable price. I was able to find the “Zi’ Peppino” on the Italian Barber online store for $6.99 plus shipping and on Amazon for $9.99 with free shipping. So, I wondered, “how good could this really be at such a low price?”
First of all, the packaging is exceptional. I love shaving soaps with screw caps like this one making it perfect for travel or safe storage in my shaving cabinet which has become overloaded since starting this blog, but that’s another story for another blog post. The black plastic case is durable and sturdy with a solid screw cap that I have no doubt will stay on securely. Upon opening the case, the scent is light but fresh with just the tiniest hint of spice. However, once you wet the soap and begin building the lather, the scent explodes. The green tobacco scent is difficult to describe without sounding like I’m taking the easy way out, but it absolutely does smell exactly like it’s name. It’s hard to wrap your head around it, but imagine a shaving soap with a smoky scent, then take that scent and make it fresh. I know it sounds odd, a fresh, smoky scent, but that’s what the “Zi’ Peppino” is…and it works! As many of you know, the scent of a shaving soap or cream is crucial to me. A truly wonderful fragrant soap can heighten the shaving experience from a daily chore to a valuable slice of personal time. Performance-wise, this soap really stands out. This isn’t just a great soap for under ten dollars, this is a great soap, period. The lather is thick, cushioned and slick. I have had zero issues building a lather in a bowl, on my palm or on my face. Face lathering is my personal preferred method, but I like to try different ways. Another aspect of this lather which I always like in my soaps, is that clean feeling after a pass with my razor. I personally don’t like soaps or creams that leave a thin residue. Some people appreciate this “slickness” for clean-ups, but if I need to make another pass, I’ll re-lather. I would prefer to not have to worry about leftover soap still on my face when I’m done shaving. The Razorock “Zi’ Peppino” gave an incredibly smooth shave with no traces of the soap left on my face.
As I mentioned before, the “Zi’ Peppino” is available on the Italian Barber online store and on Amazon. This soap is an extreme value, not just for the price, but also because of the outstanding soap you get. Do not hesitate in getting this soap as an early Christmas present for yourself, your nose and your face will thank you.
As always we love to hear from our readers. Please let me know any thoughts you have on any of the Razorock products. You can comment here or reach out to us on social media using Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Google+.

This week the British world of books finds itself in a peculiar position: one literary prize is asking another to change its rules. The Folio prize is run by a 250-strong academy. Surveyed, 99% of them say American writers ought to be ineligible for the Man Booker; the prize should remain open only to those from Britain, the Commonwealth, Ireland and Zimbabwe. In February, leading British publishers also urged the change. Even the Washington Post has pleaded with the British to “take your Booker prize home”, saying “Americans don’t need any encouragement to trumpet their own books”.
Back in 2014, the Man Booker changed its rules from the slightly eccentric rubric of “everyone except the Americans” to embrace US authors. It made absolute sense at the time. The Man Booker, it was argued, ought to scan the entire literary horizon. It ought not to be parochial. It ought to serve readers the very best in fiction, and scour the Earth to do so. Excluding the US, a literary colossus, looked ridiculous, when so many riveting adventures in form and language were being undertaken there. The move was widely supported. What could be more logical?
The pendulum of opinion has, however, swung back. Inviting the Americans in has seemed a little like allowing the US to compete in the Commonwealth Games. Certainly, if you did, it the overall quality would go up – but it might make for a rather monotonous contest. At a time when sales of literary fiction have crashed in Britain, the dominance of American titles on the past few shortlists has seemed especially hard for publishers and authors to bear, since prizes have become one of the few factors that significantly drive sales. The US, simply by virtue of its size, risks crowding out everyone else. And the Americans have plenty of prizes of their own.
There are still those who strongly argue that the Man Booker’s regulations are better for being clear, logical and global. And if Americans have seemed to dominate recent shortlists they will not necessarily always do so (the past two winners have been from the US). Furthermore, excluding the US now could severely damage the credibility of the award – changing the rules because the host team is losing.
What is the purpose of the Man Booker? Turning back to its founding statements, it is clear that it was instituted to reward “the best novel in the opinion of the judges”. Its sole criterion was to be quality. But it also said: “The real success will be a significant increase in the sales of the winning book … that will to some extent be shared not only by the authors who have been shortlisted, but, in the long run, by authors all over the country.” It was, in short, intended to have a beneficial effect on the UK publishing industry and its authors. And it was intended to be distinctive. With the inclusion of Americans, all that could be squandered. Were the Man Booker organisers to row back now, they would not lose much face. Globalisation, after all, is not an unalloyed good.

Eddie Redmayne has admitted he has some regrets about his decision to take on the role of a transgender character in a film a few years back, explaining that he probably wouldn't take the part nowadays.
Redmayne, the star of The Theory of Everything and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, put in a star turn in the 2015 Academy Award nominated The Danish Girl, a true story about the life of Lili Elbe, one of the first people to ever undergo gender affirmation surgery.
However, he has since been criticised for taking on the role by those who believe that the part could have gone to a transgender actor instead of a cisgender man.
While Redmayne meant no offence, he does now believe he would have left the role for another actor if he had his time again.
Speaking in an interview with The Times, the 39-year-old said: "No, I wouldn't take it on now. I made that film with the best intentions, but I think it was a mistake."
He added: "The bigger discussion about the frustrations around casting is because many people don't have a chair at the table.
"There must be a levelling, otherwise we are going to carry on having these debates."
Redmayne is currently facing fresh controversy for taking the role of the Emcee in a production of Cabaret.
While the part is ambiguous, the role has often been played by LGBT+ performers in the past.
However, Redmayne explained: "Of all the characters I've ever read, this one defies pigeonholing. I would ask people to come and see it before casting judgment."
Jessie Buckley, who stars alongside Redmayne in the production at the Playhouse Theatre in London's West End, added: "This is the most diverse company I have ever worked in.
"On the first day everyone introduced themselves and said their pronouns, he, she, they... and it was lovely to be part of that conversation.
"Our Kit Kat Club welcomes everyone, whoever you are."
Asked how he actually sees his character, Redmayne said: "I see him as a survivor who can shape-shift himself out of every situation.
"There are elements of Karl Valentin [the Charlie Chaplin of Weimar Germany] and there is this extraordinary maître d' at the Sunset Towers in Los Angeles called Dimitri. I've put a bit of him into the mix."
If you want to check it out for yourself, Cabaret is at the Kit Kat Club at the Playhouse Theatre, London WC2.

Prison Inmates in at Least 17 States Are Going on Strike Today
"For some of us it's as if we are already dead, so what do we have to lose?"
Prison inmates in at least 17 states plan to go on strike today. They will refuse to work or eat, in protest of the low wages and inhumane conditions that they say prevail through the U.S. prison system.
Details on how many prisoners are participating are extremely difficult to confirm, since prisons, by design, are not transparent institutions. But activists both inside and outside the institutions have been working to organize the strike for months.
"Fundamentally, it's a human rights issue," Jailhouse Lawyers Speak, an anonymous collective of incarcerated organizers, say in a statement. "Prisoners understand they are being treated as animals. Prisons in America are a warzone. Every day prisoners are harmed due to conditions of confinement. For some of us it's as if we are already dead, so what do we have to lose?"
The strike was sparked by an April riot at Lee Correctional Institution in South Carolina that left seven inmates dead. Prison guards reportedly stood by and did nothing to stop the violence.
"Seven comrades lost their lives during a senseless uprising that could have been avoided had the prison not been so overcrowded from the greed wrought by mass incarceration, and a lack of respect for human life that is embedded in our nation's penal ideology," the organizers write in their list of 10 demands. "These men and women are demanding humane living conditions, access to rehabilitation, sentencing reform and the end of modern day slavery."
The demands include "immediate improvements to the conditions of prisons and prison policies that recognize the humanity of imprisoned men and women," as well as "an immediate end to prison slavery." The 13th Amendment to the Constitution outlawed slavery except, notably, "as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted." That provision led to "convict leasing" programs throughout the South after the Civil War, where convicts, the majority of them black, were subjected to brutal unpaid labor for the benefit of private companies.
The convict leasing system was eventually abolished, but the use of prison labor is commonplace today. For example, as Reason's Eric Boehm has reported, California inmates are currently volunteering to fight the biggest wildfires in state history, but they're being paid only $2 an hour. In Alabama inmates are paid 25 to 75 cents an hour to make license plates and other items. In Arkansas, Georgia, and Texas, they make nothing at all for mandatory labor.
Other prison strike demands are fairly specific, such as the restoring felon voting rights and rescinding the Prison Litigation Reform Act, a bill passed in the 1990s that made it much more difficult for inmates to file federal civil rights lawsuits challenging their conditions and treatment.
"These are conditions that the American public has neglected—malignly—for years," Nicholas Turner, president of the Vera Institute of Justice, says in an emailed statement. "Different from other elements of justice reform where people can see evidence that undermines the flawed assumptions that the system is working—videos of police brutality, imposition of bail in public courtrooms—most people are blind when it comes to prison conditions. What happens behind those grey walls is obscured from public view."
Organizers chose to begin and end the strike on August 21 and Septembe 9, two significant dates in U.S. prison history. On August 21, 1971, San Quentin guards shot and killed the influential Black Panther activist George Jackson. Jackson had smuggled a gun into prison and freed other inmates, who murdered several guards and two other inmates, before attempting to escape. (Jackson's supporters have never believed the official story of his death.)
On September 9 of the same year, inmates at New York's Attica prison took over the facility and held 42 officers and civilians hostage. The inmates demanded better conditions and access to uncensored newspapers and political material, among other things, but they also wanted legal immunity for the takeover, which New York officials adamantly refused to promise.
The Attica rebellion ended four days later when New York State Troopers retook the prison by force, unleashing a hail of bullets that killed 39 people, including 10 hostages. Officials initially lied to the press and public, claiming inmates had slit hostages' throats. The state of New York then went to extraordinary lengths—including intimidation and destruction of evidence—to cover up retaliation, torture, and outright murder during and following the retaking.
Today's protest follows a similar large-scale strike in 2016, which reportedly involved 24,000 inmates in 29 different prisons. In 2013, about 30,000 California inmates went on hunger strike to protest the state's draconian use of solitary confinement.
"The courageous people who are bringing focused attention to America's system of mass incarceration through the Nationwide Prison Strike deserve our admiration," Udi Ofer, director of the ACLU's Campaign for Smart Justice, says in an emailed statement. "The ACLU supports the demands of the Nationwide Prison Strike, including the demand for a right to vote. Our country is stronger when people most marginalized and directly impacted by unjust policies raise their voices in protest and demand a different future."

I’m starting to hear some conversation about the distinctions between knowing theory versus working in the trenches and discussions about practitioners versus consultants. It’s got me thinking. Honestly, I can’t figure out why there’s so much conversation about it.
Theories, whether they’re related to motivation, leadership or whatever, are important. They offer some guidelines to figure out situations. Even if a theory tells you what “not” to do…it’s valuable. It’s important to know major theories. But, that being said, theories can’t be the only thing you know to be successful in the business world.
That’s where working in the trenches or practical experience comes in. This is where you put those theories to the test. Working in the trenches is about execution. In order to be successful, we must execute well.
Some people might argue that you can execute a strategy without knowing theory. And that’s certainly true. From my experience, I’ve found understanding theory helped me when I was thrown the curve ball. When something unexpected happened, I used my theoretical knowledge to help me change my execution strategy.
Whether you’re a consultant or practitioner, you should know the theories related to your profession. And you should know how to apply them.
IMHO, the difference between practitioners and consultants is where and when you apply knowledge. In the traditional sense, practitioners work for a single organization and apply their knowledge every day in that organization’s culture. Consultants do the same thing – they just have multiple companies and multiple cultures and apply their knowledge as they are engaged with a client company.
I’ve met plenty of practitioners who advise and consult with their internal clients. And I know many consultants who work in the trenches with their client companies to get projects completed.
Regardless of your job title and who you work for, the two things important to your success are having the proper knowledge and possessing the proven ability to implement that knowledge.

All about Fun
is like no other flight experience. The sensation is
unique to this form of flight. You are not being
pushed around by an engine. You will be gently floated
up and down by the heating and cooling of the air
inside the balloon. Then the pilot artfully determines
levels that contain breezes going different directions
and speeds. By using combinations of these levels
the balloon will move and flow with these gentle
breezes in a general direction of travel and then to
the eventual landing point. The views are spectacular,
with views of the Boise City most will never see;
the surrounding mountains, the river with it's rapids,
the trees and wildlife.
Also seeing the sight of other balloons in the air.


My father-in-law has a 73 F350 Camper Special that I offered to help him with to get back on the road. It's been sitting for some time but the body is in decent shape. I think it has a 360 in it. Anyhow, it looks like new brake rotors are made of unobtainium. The Bendix p/n is PRT1066 and no longer available. Does anyone know if the brake rotors are interchangeable with later models, say 75-76?
I think he has one new rotor and he had to pull teeth to get that one. Worse case scenario is we get the old ones turned. At least new calipers/pads are available.

Studies on the Manifestations of Heterosis in New HybridsAuthor(s): Ramesh CK and Subramanya G
Concerted efforts have been made to cross different silkworm varieties to produce the hybrids with an objective to improve the productivity traits. Systematic and planned hybridization together with improved farming in rearing practices in sericulture has helped a great deal to increase the productivity by several folds in sericultural countries including tropical India. In fact, the ultimate results in silkworm breeding are judged by the superiority of commercial characters of the parental strains that appear in the F1 hybrids in the form heterosis or the extra vigor which form paramount criteria in the evaluation of the suitability of hybrids for commercial exploitation. Hence, in the present investigation, an attempt has been made to select superior bivoltine hybrids utilizing the four newly evolved bivoltine races of the authorsÂ viz.MG405,MG406,MG408 andMG414 and crossing them with four conventional bivoltine races viz. KA, NB4D2, NB7 and NB18, to evaluate the rearing performance of different hybrid combinations for heterosis, over dominance and also determine their extent improvement over the control hybrids. The manifestation of heterosis was observed to be varying with the different economic traits and the hybrids. The extent of heterosis was high for productivity traits than the viability traits. Higher level of heterosis and over dominance was noticed for the traits, cocoon yield by weight, single cocoon weight, shell weight and filament length. Majority of the new hybrid combinations manifested better heterosis and over dominance values than the two control hybrid combinations, NB18 x NB7 and KA x NB4D2 for most of the characters studied.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Earth day is Wednesday April 22nd, and it's the 50th Anniversary of the day devoted to keeping the environment free of trash.
Matthew Leach had a goal of picking up 99 bags of trash in 90 days. He blew that goal out of the water and picked up more than 100 in a little over 14 days.
It's therapeutic to go out and pick up some trash," Leach said. "And good for social distancing, nobody comes up to you when you are picking up trash."
The Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper usually has their spring shoreline sweep at the end of the month. This event mobilizes more than 2,000 volunteers to clean 50 sites across Western New York.
With this event pushed back to the fall due to the Coronavirus, BN Waterkeeper is encouraging people to have their own "Solo Sweep."
To make sure you're picking up trash safely, here are some guidelines.
-Wear gloves and a mask
-Stay in Public places
-Avoid sharp objects
-Recycle trash you pick up and dispose of it.
The City of Buffalo is also celebrating by having a virtual Earth Week with some challenges.
Leach is a Landscape Architect and says he will continue to pick up trash in his spare time. He brings lots of hand sanitizer, trash bags, and buckets to help him sort it all out.
"It's easy to do, it doesn't take much effort, and it makes a big difference," Leach said.

I'm writing this blog in an e-mail. This is my first time e-mailing a blog, I hope it works.
Today is harvest day #1! I'm so excited. With our lunch today, the kids and I will have a salad of leaf lettuce, spinach and baby beet greens. The beet greens are the tops I cut off while thinning my beets after planting a couple of weeks ago. I'm suprised how quickly they grew as I was under the impression that they were slow starters. Must be that Mel's Mix!
Here's to many more harvests!

Will debt consolidation help or hurt your financial situation?
When you have multiple loans and credit card balances, looking for debt consolidation help may seem like a good idea. After all, a debt consolidation plan is designed to combine multiple debts into a single loan at a lower rate than your existing loans and credit cards, helping you to save money on interest.
But will debt consolidation help you pay off your debt faster? That’s not always clear. If you’re deeply in debt and your credit rating has taken a hit, you may not qualify for the low interest rates that provide the kind of debt consolidation help you need. You’ll likely pay some extra money to take out a new loan, making your debt even higher. And if you haven’t taken steps to address the choices or situations that got you into debt in the first place, you may end up owing more money than when you started considering debt consolidation help.
That’s why it’s important to talk to a credit counseling service when you’re thinking about looking for debt consolidation help. A professional credit counselor can help you sort through the pros and cons of debt consolidation for bad credit as well as a variety of other options for getting out of debt.
ACCC: free credit counseling and debt consolidation help.
American Consumer Credit Counseling (ACCC) is a non profit consumer credit counseling organization dedicated to helping individuals and families find the best path out of debt. We’ve been providing free counseling and low-cost services to consumers nationwide since 1991, and our highly trained counselors are experts at providing debt management and debt consolidation help.
When you contact ACCC for debt counseling services, you can meet with a certified credit counselor by phone or in person. Your credit counseling sessions at ACCC are always free – it’s a time for us to analyze your finances and to present you with personalized options based on your financial goals. These may include seeking debt consolidation help, or we may recommend other options such as a debt management service
Alternatives to seeking debt consolidation help.
Debt management provides a highly effective alternative to seeking debt consolidation help. Under a debt management plan, you will consolidate your monthly payments rather than consolidating your loans and bills. Each month, you’ll write a single check to ACCC, and our team will use those funds to pay your creditors on your behalf. With just one check to write each month, you’ll have less stress and we can ensure your bills are paid on time. We’ll also propose reductions in interest rates and monthly payments to your creditors, to help you pay off your debt more quickly. In the long run, a debt management plan will help you develop the kind of discipline and skills that will let you pay off your debt quickly – usually in 60 months or less – and to live life debt-free in the future.

When it comes to our minds, they need to be protected and cared for throughout the years in the same way that our bodies do. While most people don’t think about their minds or how healthy their minds are, perhaps they should.
Everything we do in life affects our minds. The things we eat, the choices we make overall, and even whether you took a jog this afternoon can all have impacts on our minds and how things end up playing out overall. If you are someone who wants a young and healthy brain you need to make sure you are cutting out the bad habits that can make it age more quickly than usual.
Below you will find a list of things that can make our brains age a lot faster than they should. Some of these things are very easy habits to break and others, not so much. Are you doing all you can to ensure your cognitive function remains intact well into old age?
15 Habits That Might Be Causing Your Brain To Age Quickly:
We are what we eat and when we’re eating nothing but junk, well that says a lot. If you’re not getting the vitamins and minerals your mind needs to function properly each day, you’re neglecting it seriously. We should all be eating brain health-promoting foods like beans, fish, vegetables, and so forth as often as possible.
You’ve heard the phrase ‘if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it’ before, right? Well, this goes for your brain as well. If you’re not taking the steps needed to keep your cognitive function where it needs to be there could end up being some decline as time passes. Our brains age with our bodies and thus need tender love and care to remain as they should be.
Learning new things is easily one of the best ways to challenge the brain. If you are stuck in the same ole routine every single day, this could become quite the issue. The more we learn the more that becomes connected in that big blob that keeps us going.
4. Watching TV for hours on end.
For some reason, we spend a lot of our time in front of a TV screen these days and it’s becoming an issue. Rather than leaving our minds doing the same thing over and over again, giving them a challenge would do big things. This all comes back to working with our bodies as a whole.
Drinking too much has been something we considered bad for a long time for a number of reasons. Overdrinking can affect your mind drastically. You can end up struggling with your memory and in some cases even note that your functioning overall has been altered. Alcohol in excess can and will have damaging effects on the brain.
6. Living near a major highway
While surprising and a bit confusing living near a major highway can have negative impacts on our health. This is because there is more pollution in those areas than in others. The more heavily populated and ‘city-like’ you live, the more dangers you’re facing in this regard. Over time damage can be done to the brain through this.
Sure, water might not taste as good as soda but it will work wonders for your mind. Water is crucial for delivering nutrients to our brains and removing toxins. We need to make sure we’re taking in as much as we should be each and every day of our lives.
8. Living a sedentary lifestyle overall
For those who do not know a sedentary lifestyle is one that involves very little movement. People who live these kinds of lives usually spend a lot of time sitting and in return don’t always have the best health. The less you work out while living this kind of lifestyle the worse your chances become of declining at a younger age.
We all know how dangerous smoking is overall but yes, it too can affect your brain. Smoking can and will actually double your chances of coming down with Alzheimer’s disease which no one wants to have to experience. Just because it looks ‘cool’ doesn’t mean you have to partake.
We should all be working to protect our hearing if we want our brains to be intact as well. One study from a few years back actually showed that those with hearing loss are more likely to develop dementia which is a serious brain disease. The less you can hear, the worse your brain’s condition could end up becoming.
11. Letting friendships wilt away
Friends keep our mind’s going, without them, we tend to get quite bored. Sure, you might think your life is a little less stressful when you’re isolated but that’s not always the case. Because socializing is so good for us as a whole it has benefits to offer our brains as well.
12. Forgetting to relax
The more worked up we are the harder it is for our brains to calm down. Everything we feel is a chemical reaction stemming from that very place and keeping our stress levels under control can really benefit our minds as well as our overall well-being. The more stressed you are in general the more strained your brain will become.
Sleep is extremely important for proper cognitive functioning. If you’re only getting a few hours of sleep here and there, you need to do more for your own good. The less sleep we get the more of a strain we place on our bodies and minds, they need to rest.
An unhealthy heart also makes for an unhealthy brain. If you want your mind to function properly you need to keep your heart in order and vice versa. These two work together in more ways than you might realize.
If you’re skateboarding, cycling, riding a motorcycle, or even skiing you need to make sure you’re wearing a proper helmet. When we fall or go down overall we can cause serious damage to our heads. Brain injuries are no joke and while it might not seem like a big deal in the moment, something so small can change your life drastically.
