Ryan Braun has only three years remaining on his long contract with the Milwaukee Brewers, but after the team’s surprising showing in 2017 he is optimistic about getting another shot at the playoffs before his career with the club ends. “It was a fun year, an exciting year,” said Braun, who continued his Thanksgiving tradition of helping the Brewers with their annual food drive at Miller Park on Wednesday. “We finished one game short of the postseason this year. So, you can look back and think about how many games could have finished differently. If we had found a way to win one extra game, we could have been in the playoffs. “Obviously, it gives me great hope, it gives all of us great hope, that we can find a way to get back to the postseason. Once you get there, anything can happen. The goal for me, for as many more years as I’m playing, is to be on teams that are consistently competitive and have a chance to get to the postseason. So, that’s what I expect after what we accomplished this year.” In the second full season of their large-scale rebuilding process, the Brewers surprised many by surging to a 5½-game lead in the National League Central at the all-star break. They eventually were passed by the Chicago Cubs but stayed in the hunt for the second wild-card berth until the penultimate day of the season. The Brewers’ 86-76 record was an improvement of 13 victories from the previous season and left them a game behind Colorado for that second wild-card spot. Braun said that surprising showing moved the rebuilding process forward more than could have been expected, perhaps avoiding the years of losing that most teams experience when completely rebooting. “Overall, it went better than I anticipated; I think far better than most people anticipated,” Braun said. “The exciting thing is it pretty significantly moves up our time frame as far as when we expect to be competitive again, consistently competitive. So, it’s exciting for us as players knowing we’re going into the off-season hopefully looking to add instead of thinking about subtracting.” How significant any addition will be, or should be, has been a topic of discussion among Brewers fans and the baseball world in general. General manager David Stearns has been reported to have interest in the top tier of free-agent starting pitchers, including the likes of Jake Arrieta and Lance Lynn.
Ryan Braun is optimistic that rebuilding Brewers will return to playoffs sooner than later

A Wilmington man will spend at least 7 years in prison for a deadly shooting that happened in the parking lot of Jungle Rapids in 2017.
Suspect in fatal shooting talks to WWAY at the New Hanover County jail.
The man accused of shooting and killing a teenager outside the Jungle Rapids park in Wilmington had his first day in court in New Hanover County today.
Nearly six weeks after a teen was shot and killed in the parking lot of Jungle Rapids, Wilmington Police have charged four people with the crime.
It has been more than three weeks since someone shot and killed a 19-year-old at Jungle Rapids in Wilmington. His funeral is set for tomorrow.
"He got shot. He got shot. Dude pulled out a gun and shot him," the unidentified caller told the 911 dispatcher. "It's not good, it's not good. He's shot in the side."
The victim in the Jungle Rapids shooting has died
A shooting last night at jungle rapids is now a murder investigation. A 19-year-old is dead and Wilmington Police are searching for a suspect.

Lewis hailed the show's "exceptional writing," "exquisite talent," and "love respect & appreciation" after Season 2's shocking closer.
Witkes' comedy series "Interested In" follows a young gay man's quest for validation and love. HuffPost has a first look at the Season 2 trailer.
The new season is at its best when it unflinchingly tackles challenges facing the team, including the scandal surrounding breakout star Jerry Harris.
Watch or do not. There is no try.
"The Umbrella Academy" is back with Season 2.
The "God Friended Me" star replaces Ruby Rose, who departed the CW series after one season.
The stars of the "HSM" reboot will fall under the timeless spell of "Beauty and the Beast" when the show returns to Disney Plus later this year.
The winner called the experience the "most amazing" ... and "weirdest."
Season 2 of Fox's kooky masquerade is underway.
Sandra Oh's Eve Polastri thinks she killed Villanelle. But, "Sometimes, when you love someone, you do crazy things."


After almost a year of discussion and months of heated board meetings, the River Trails Elementary District 26 school board could decide Tuesday to abandon its neighborhood school concept in favor of grade centers.
The move would affect the district's two elementary schools, Euclid and Indian Grove. If grade centers are implemented, all prekindergarten through second-graders would go to one of the schools and all third-through fifth- graders would attend the other.
River Trails Middle School would not be affected.
The school board has been discussing the switch for months in a highly charged atmosphere that has included more than 150 parents at board meetings and accusations of racism against some opponents of the change. About half of Euclid's student body is Hispanic, compared to less than 10 percent of Indian Grove's.
Should the board vote in favor of grade centers, parent Frank Fiarito will start gathering signatures to put the issue on November's ballot as an advisory referendum.
"The community needs a voice," he said. "No matter how this gets decided, the community feels disengaged and what's sad is that so do the teachers."
Parent Dan Miller previously gave the school board a petition signed by more than 1,100 parents opposing grade centers.
"We still have board members who have not acknowledged the large percentage of people in our community who have voiced their opposition to this," Miller said. "I also think it's interesting that according to the community survey, two major stakeholders is this - elementary ed teachers and parents - are not in favor."
The same survey shows middle school teachers and 90 percent of the district's administrators back grade centers.
Several months ago, District 26 spent $18,000 to hire consultant James H. Warren to study the idea, which included surveying parents. His final report listed 21 advantages and 21 disadvantages to the switch.
Advantages include sharing resources and saving about $200,000 by eliminating four staff members. The disadvantages include spending $162,000 on more bus routes and causing families to have children attending multiple schools.
Most elementary districts in the area use neighborhood schools, including Arlington Heights District 25, Mount Prospect District 57 and Des Plaines District 62.
The results of the staff survey are posted at www.rtsd26.org.
The school board will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday at River Trails Middle School, 1000 Wolf Road in Mount Prospect.

Powerful processors drawn from the PC world and more sophisticated operating systems have made it possible for PACs to operate in various modes and with different deterministic speeds. PACs combine Real-Time Operating Systems (based on Windows CE 5.0 or its successors) with the ability to conduct multiple loop operation, and handle execution priorities in a much more sophisticated manner than a PLC, but with all of the deterministic reliability and safety by means of built in system triggers and a more useful and complex way of handling I/O and system timing. This makes it possible to have both deterministic safety, reliability and speed of the PLC combined with the reliance and power on COTS and standards-based products of the PC. The automation applications of modern controller have emerged as the PAC.
Many end users and OEMs of automation systems and controls work in more than one domain. For instance, even a highly process oriented plant such as a pharmaceuticals manufacturer or a fine chemical manufacturer has requirements within the plant for motion control, inventory management, packaging, and automated identification systems, as well as continuous and batch process control requirements.
The need to integrate LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) and PAT (Process Analyzer Technology) Initiatives, and sampling initiatives around the plant have made it necessary to network multiple domains. In addition, increasing emphasis on conformance and quality management systems as well as the need to conform to increasingly detailed requirements for records and validation, such as the U. S. government's 21 CFR Part 11 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, have made companies' desire for fewer and more networkable systems grow in intensity.
A PAC can be used as a wide variety of applications in a wide set of domains within the manufacturing enterprise from inside the facility management system, in the environmental monitoring and handling system, in the factory automation systems themselves, and in the networks necessary to transfer the data from the plant floor and auxiliary control systems to the automation software and control centers and from there to the enterprise management systems themselves.

On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that Toyota and Nissan have expanded a recall of vehicles containing potentially defective airbags from the Takata Corporation.
The automakers added 6.5 million vehicles to the recall, the Times wrote. If you or someone you love has been injured by a malfunctioning airbag, you may be entitled compensation through a Takata airbag recall lawsuit(http://www.edwardslawok.com/takata-airbag-recall-lawyers.html).
Do not hesitate to contact our skilled personal injury attorneys in Tulsa for experienced representation in a defective product case.
The newspaper noted that Toyota conducted tests and learned that the airbags were vulnerable to leaks, the Times said.
The newspaper also said that when these air leaks occur, the ammonium nitrate propellant thats supposed to inflate the airbags could be contaminated by moisture and become unstable.
This damaged airbag propellant can then lead to gas escaping too quickly and can cause the metal casing of the inflator to explode as a result, according to an article from The Wall Street Journal.
Last year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a statement urging some vehicle owners to replace defective Takata airbags.
In addition, the Los Angeles Times reported in February that the NHTSA was fining Takata $14,000 per day for failing to cooperate with an investigation conducted by the Department of Transportation.
Were You Injured by a Faulty Airbag?
Contact The Edwards Law Firm. You may be able to claim compensation for your injuries.
Experienced defective Takata airbag injury lawyers in Tulsa from our firm can help you fight for justice. Best of all, our legal team understands why people are injured by dangerous devices.
Product-related injuries can be caused by manufacturing defects, design defects and incorrect advertising or a lack of product warning notices. There are also several entities that might be liable, including the manufacturer, testing laboratory or others.
But, to find out if you can hold them accountable, you must contact us. We offer a FREE initial case review. So, you have nothing to lose by making a simple phone call.

Burger King Is Bringing Back One Of Its Most Popular Sides
Fries, move! Burger King is reintroducing a popular potato side in a new configuration.
Chew Boom said the burger company will bring back seasonal Cheesy Tots. In time for the holidays, the renowned side dish of deep-fried potatoes
The tots' diehard supporters are excited about this limited-time item's occasional annual return. BK fans love the Cheesy Tots' golden,
crunchy, and decadent flavor. Many Whopper fans remember Cheesy Tots, even though fries are the most common side dish.
The kids returned to Burger King in Arizona, Colorado, New York, and Florida last year. Hungry customers ordered 8-piece orders for $4.98 and couldn't get enough.
An unhealthy delicacy, Cheesy Tots include 316 calories, 15 grams of fat, and roughly 800 milligrams of sodium.
Fast-food Instagram account @snackolater announced Cheesy Tots' comeback, despite never trying them.
"My best childhood experience. They should keep them year-round, someone said. "Finally childhood is returned. Another said, "I love eating
Fans have even criticized Burger King for not offering Cheesy Tots. Fans launched the Burger King Bring Back the Cheesy Tots Facebook page to get their favorite warm
Check your local Burger King this week to see whether the tots are available. Don't wait to love or try them—they'll disappear.

A class of drugs that act as central nervous system depressants, and can therefore produce a wide spectrum of effects, from mild sedation to total anesthesia. They are also effective as anxiolytics, hypnotics, and anticonvulsants. Barbiturates also have weak analgesic effects. They have addiction potential, both physical and psychological. Barbiturates have now largely been replaced by benzodiazepines in routine medical practice mainly because benzodiazepines are significantly less dangerous in overdose. Barbiturates bind to the GABA-α receptor at the beta subunit, which are binding sites distinct from GABA itself and also distinct from the benzodiazepine binding site.
Like benzodiazepines, barbiturates potentiate the effect of GABA at this receptor. In addition to this GABA-ergic effect, barbiturates block the AMPA receptor, a subtype of glutamate receptor. Glutamate is the principal excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian CNS. Taken together, the findings that barbiturates potentiate inhibitory GABA-α receptors and inhibit excitatory AMPA receptors can explain the CNS-depressant effects of these agents. At higher concentration, they inhibit the Ca2+-dependent release of neurotransmitters. Barbiturates produce their pharmacological effects by increasing the duration of chloride ion channel opening at the GABA-α receptor whereas benzodiazepines increase the frequency of the chloride ion channel opening at the GABA-α receptor The direct gating or opening of the chloride ion channel is the reason for the increased toxicity of barbiturates compared to benzodiazepines in overdose.
1. Allobarbital, allobarbitone, Cibalgine, Dial-Ciba
Allobarbital is a barbiturate derivative used primarily as an anticonvulsant although it has now largely been replaced by newer drugs with improved safety profiles. Other uses for allobarbital included treatment of insomnia and anxiety and as an adjutant to boost the activity of analgesic drugs. Allobarbital was never particularly widely used compared to better known barbiturates such as phenobarbital and secobarbital, although it saw more use in some European countries such as Bulgaria and Slovakia and is still used in Poland, but only as compound. Wikipedia.
2. Amobarbital sodium (formerly known as amylobarbitone or sodium amytal)
Amobarbital sodium is a barbiturate derivative. It has sedative-hypnotic properties. If amobarbital is taken for extended periods of time, physical and psychological dependence can develop. Amobarbital dependence mimics delirium tremens and may be life-threatening. It depresses the sensory cortex; decreases motor activity; alters cerebellar function and produces drowsiness, sedation, and hypnosis.
3. Barbital, Barbitone, Veronal, Medinal
Barbital (diethylmalonyl urea or diethylbarbituric acid) was used as a sleeping aid (hypnotic) from 1903 until the mid-1950s. The sodium salt (known as medinal) is known also as sodium diethylbarbiturate. It had few side effects. Its therapeutic dose was far below the toxic dose. However, prolonged usage resulted in tolerance to the drug, requiring higher doses to reach the desired effect. Fatal overdoses of this slow acting hypnotic were not uncommon. It is no longer prescribed. Drugs.com
Phenobarbital is a long-acting barbiturate and the most widely used anticonvulsant worldwide, and the oldest still commonly used. It also has sedative and hypnotic properties, but as with other barbiturates, it has been superseded by the benzodiazepines for these indications. The World Health Organization recommends its use as first-line for partial and generalized tonic–clonic seizures (those formerly known as grand mal) in developing countries. It is no longer recommended as a first- or second-line choice anticonvulsant for most seizure types, though it is still commonly used to treat neonatal seizures and can be used in emergency situations. Drugs.com.
Benzodiazepines enhance the effect of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the GABA-α receptor, resulting in sedative, hypnotic (sleep-inducing), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant properties, and amnesic-dissociative actions. These properties make benzodiazepines useful in treating anxiety, insomnia, agitation, seizures, muscle spasms, alcohol withdrawal, and as a premedication for medical or dental procedures. Benzodiazepines are categorized as either short-, intermediate- or long-acting. Short- and intermediate-acting benzodiazepines are preferred for the treatment of insomnia; longer-acting benzodiazepines are recommended for the treatment of anxiety. In general, benzodiazepines are safe and effective in the short term, although cognitive impairments and paradoxical effects such as aggression or behavioral disinhibition occasionally occur.
Long-term use of benzodiazepines is controversial due to concerns about adverse psychological and physical effects. Benzodiazepines are prone to cause tolerance, physical dependence, and, upon cessation after long term use, a withdrawal syndrome. Benzodiazepines have a fast onset of action, high effectivity rate, and low toxicity in overdose; however, as with most medications, it may have drawbacks due to adverse or paradoxical effects.
1. Bromazepam, Lectopam, Lexotan, Lexilium, Lexaurin, Brazepam, Rekotnil, Bromaze, Somalium, Lexotanil (too many to list brand names)
Bromazepam has mainly an anti-anxiety agent with similar side effects to diazepam. In addition to being used to treat anxiety or panic states, bromazepam may be used as a premedicant prior to minor surgery. Bromazepam typically comes in doses of 3 mg and 6 mg tablets. Bromazepam is contraindicated and should be used with caution in women who are pregnant, the elderly, patients with a history of alcohol or other substance abuse disorders, and children. Prolonged use of bromazepam causes tolerance and may lead to both physical and psychological dependence on the drug. Drugs.com.
2. Clonazepam, Klonopin, Rivotril, Ravotril, Rivatril, Iktorivil, Clonex, Paxam, Petril, Naze, Kriadex, Linotril, Clonotril
Clonazepam has anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, amnestic, sedative, and hypnotic properties and an unusually long elimination half-life of 18–50 hours, making it generally considered to be among the longest-acting benzodiazepines. It has an intermediate onset of action, with a peak blood level occurring one to four hours after oral administration. Long-term effects include tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal syndrome, which occurs in one third of patients treated with clonazepam for longer than four weeks. Drugs.com

3. Tranxene, Chlorazepate, Novo-Clopate
Clorazepate dipotassium is a benzodiazepine that possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative, hypnotic, and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. Clorazepate is a prodrug for desmethyldiazepam, which is rapidly produced as an active metabolite and a partial agonist of the GABA-α receptor . Clorazepate has a half life of 20 to 179 hours; a small amount of desmethyldiazepam is further metabolised into oxazepam. Clorazepate exerts its pharmacological properties via increasing the opening frequency of the chloride ion channel of GABA-α receptors. This effect of benzodiazepines requires the presence of the neurotransmitter GABA and results in enhanced inhibitory effects of the neurotransmitter GABA acting on GABA-α receptors. Peak plasma levels of the active metabolite desmethyl-diazepam are seen between 30 minutes and 2 hours after oral administration. Clorazepate is completely metabolised to desmethyl-diazepam in the gastrointestinal tract. Drugs.com.
4. Librium, Chlordiazepoxide, Angirex, Elenium, Klopoxid, Libotryp, Librax, Libritabs, Mesural, Multum, Novapam, Risolid, Silibrin, Sonimen, Tropium
Lirbium was the first benzodiazepine to be synthesized. It has a medium to long half-life. Its active metabolite has a very long half-life. The drug has amnestic, anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, hypnotic, and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. It should be avoided in patients with myasthenia gravis and ataxia. Drugs.com.
5. Diazepam, Valium
Diazepam is the first line treatment for stiff-person syndrome. Response of spasms to Valium is a diagnostic marker for SPS. Diazepam possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, hypnotic, sedative, skeletal muscle relaxant, and amnestic properties. It enhances the effect of the neurotransmitter GABA by binding to the benzodiazepine site on the GABA-α receptor (via the constituent chlorine atom) leading to central nervous system depression. Adverse effects of diazepam include anterograde amnesia (especially at higher doses) and sedation, as well as paradoxical effects such as excitement, rage, or worsening of seizures in epileptics. It can cause or worsen depression, particularly after extended periods of use.
Long-term effects include tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal syndrome upon dose reduction. After cessation, cognitive deficits may persist for at least six months and longer than six months may be needed for recovery from some deficits. Diazepam also has physical dependence potential and can cause serious problems of physical dependence with long-term use. Compared to other benzodiazepines, though, physical withdrawal from diazepam following long-term use is usually far more mild due to its long elimination half-life. Drugs.com
6. Flurazepam, Dalmane, Dalmadorm
Flurazepam possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative, and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. It produces a metabolite with a very long half-life (40–250 hours), which may stay in the bloodstream for up to four days. It is unsuitable as a sleeping medication due to next-day sedation; however, this same effect may also provide next-day anxiety relief. For this reason it is sometimes utilized to treat anxiety-induced insomnia on the night before dental visits and other medical procedures. Flurazepam is associated with drug tolerance, drug dependence, rebound insomnia, and CNS related adverse effects. Flurazepam is best used for a short time period and at the lowest possible dose to avoid complications associated with long term use. Rebound effect or withdrawal syndrome may occur about four days after discontinuation of medication. Drugs.com
7. Lorazepam, Ativan, Orfidal
Lorazepam has all six intrinsic benzodiazepine effects: anxiolysis, anterograde amnesia, sedation/hypnosis, anti-seizure, anti-nausea/vomiting, and muscle relaxation. Lorazepam has a relatively high physical addiction potential. Lorazepam also has misuse potential for recreational purposes or continued use against medical advice. Its sedative-hypnotic and anterograde amnesic properties are sometimes used for criminal purposes in a manner similar to GHB. Withdrawal symptoms range from anxiety and insomnia to seizures and psychosis. Lorazepam is recommended for short-term use, up to two to four weeks only. Adverse effects, including anterograde amnesia, depression, and paradoxical effects such as excitement or worsening of seizures may occur. Children and the elderly are more sensitive. Lorazepam impairs body balance and standing steadiness and is associated with falls and hip fractures in the elderly. Drugs.com
8. Midazolam, Versed, Dormicum, Hypnovel
Versed is used for treatment of acute seizures, moderate to severe insomnia, and for inducing sedation and amnesia before medical procedures. It possesses profoundly potent anxiolytic, amnestic, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, skeletal muscle relaxant, and sedative properties, and has a fast recovery time. Gradual reduction after regular use can minimize withdrawal/rebound effects. Tolerance and the resultant withdrawal syndrome may be due to receptor down-regulation and GABA-α receptor alterations in gene expression which results in long-term changes in the function of the GABAergic neuronal system. If you take other benzodiazepines, it is important to coordinate your medications with any medical procedure performed under Versed. Drugs.com.

Nitrazepam has sedative and motor-impairing properties, as well as amnestic, anticonvulsant, and skeletal muscle relaxant effects. Nitrazepam has an elimination half-life of 15 to 38 hours. Residual sleepiness, impaired psychomotor and cognitive functions may persist into the next day, which may impair the ability of users to drive safely and increases the risk of falls and hip fractures, and significant impairment of visual perception and sedative effects persisting into the next day typically occur. Impairment of psychomotor function may especially occur after repeated administration, with the elderly being more vulnerable to this adverse effect. Drugs.com.

Vijayapura: The decision which is treated as a shot in the arm for the Congress, Bandenawaz Mahabari, the official JD(S) candidate of Vijayapura City has announced to retire from the election campaign and support the Congress candidate of the city.
Mahabari, who had secured JD (S) ticket just a couple of days before the last date for the filing of nomination, had rejoined the party about a few months before the announcement of Assembly polls. It may be noted that Mahabari had contested for JD(S) in the 2013 election, but he lost. He later joined BSP and contested another Assembly election unsuccessfully. Post that he kept himself away from politics, but suddenly joined the Congress in the 2018 elections. Interestingly, he quit the party within a fortnight.
Staying away from politics for next five years, he surfaced again and rejoined the JD (S) and secured the ticket.
Now, just about ten days before the election, Mahabari announced his retirement and announced his support to the Congress candidate, Abdul Hamid Mushrif.
“After holding consultation with the leaders of my community and looking at the weaker presence of the JDb(S) in the City, I have decided to retire and extend my support to the Congress candidate,” he said during a press conference.
Defending the decision, he said that there is no point in contesting polls when the party is bound to lose miserably in the polls because the party has no cadre and base.
When asked why he did not realise this factor before filing the nomination papers, Mahabari said that till that time, he had not studied the pulse of the people.
He also defended the decision by claiming that Former Chief Minister and JD (S) Leader H. D. Kumaraswamy himself had announced to extend support to the Congress where the JD (S) is weak.
“Instead of becoming a laughing stock by losing the election miserably, it is better to retire and ensure the victory of a better candidate. Since Congress shares similar secular values like the JD (S), so I have decided to extend support to the Congress,” he said.
To a question, he admitted that it was his personal decision and not of the party’s. He said that he was ready to face any disciplinary action if the party wanted to take action against him for his decision.
To another question, he claimed that he did not face any pressure that forced him to take the decision just ten days before the elections.


A new study compares situational use in light and dark mode and introduces a tool developers could use to assess app battery use.

Many people prefer to activate their phone’s dark mode in a host of settings; after all, doing so can reportedly decrease smartphone battery drain. On Wednesday, Purdue University published a report highlighting recent research about the setting and the battery savings afforded by dimming the mobile lights. The researchers also give a glimpse of a new tool developers could use to assess app power savings during development.
“When the industry rushed to adopt dark mode, it didn’t have the tools yet to accurately measure power draw by the pixels,” said Charlie Hu, Purdue’s Michael and Katherine Birck professor of electrical and computer engineering, in a press release. “But…

The first British baby created using DNA from three people has been born after doctors carried out a groundbreaking IVF procedure that aims to prevent children from inheriting incurable diseases.
The technique, known as mitochondrial donation treatment (MDT), uses tissue from the eggs of healthy female donors to create IVF embryos free of harmful mutations that their mothers carry and are likely to pass on to their children.
Mitochondrial donation treatment is an experimental medical treatment that uses a donor’s mitochondria (the energy-producing organelles in our cells) to replace or supplement a recipient’s mitochondria. This treatment is intended to treat certain genetic disorders caused by mutations in the DNA of the mitochondria.
The process has led to the phrase “three-parent babies,” even though more than 99.8% of the DNA in the babies comes from the mother and father.

Cattail Weaving: The Northern Fedora
Traditional northern craft meets Don Draper? Fedoras are definitely back in fashion, DIY is all the rage, and in this fun course you can combine them both. Put a northern twist on a southern hat weaving tradition and make a woven cattail hat to protect yourself from the sun during outdoor activities. Palm fronds are the materials most commonly used for this "strip plaiting" weaving project; however, native cattails work as a northern substitute. Learn how to weave your own hat and get some foundational basketmaking skills along the way. And, might we add, you'll look fedorable? All materials are provided. The first evening session will serve as a skill-builder in plaiting so that students will be able to finish their project in the remaining two days. Upon completion of your hat, students can choose to learn additional plaiting designs.
You will need the following tools for this class:
- note book
- tape measure
- old towel
- plastic bag
Feel free to bring your favorite tools and whatever materials you might feel appropriate for this course
Once registered, students will receive a confirmation email with further class information. Please call us if you haven't received it within 24 hours.

Guided Small Group Tours
Namibia is the perfect Covid-19 safe holiday destination and here is why.
The Namibian government and stakeholders understand that around 15% of the population earns a living in hospitality and tourism. So the utmost care is being taken with sanitisation, social distancing and mask wearing. Hotels, lodges and camp sites are all monitored by the Namibian Tourism Board and have to adhere to Government standards. This, of course, is helped by the fact that we are the second least populated country world wide. No people, no spread! Most of the rural population has not been affected much. The safest place to be is in the desert, which is why you would be here anyway. Right! Namibia requires a negative PCR test result that is no older than 7 days and no quarantine for tourists. A number of airlines have reopened their flights, most notably Qatar Airways and Lufthansa. Our country is very dry from May to December and the daytime temperature in normally somewhere between hot and extremely hot!
Wild Cherry Adventures and staff also follow all WHO and Government protocols in their daily lives. Management and staff will be vaccinated as soon as it is available to us.
Now to the fun part! Chad Wratten, owner/manager/guide, has 26 years experience in tours and safaris. I have designed and run tours all across Southern Africa. However, Namibia is my home and fills my heart with love. Let me take you and your family on an adventure of a lifetime
We have a wide variety of vehicles available for any sized group. From a couple wanting a romantic getaway to a family or even a group of friends. We guarantee you a personal experience from camping to lodges. Most, if not all, accommodation establishments have frozen their rates from 2020 and we guarantee you a very competitive quote, if not the best value for money. Don’t forget the US$ and Euro exchange rates make Namibia a relatively cheap destination.
Our classic safaris will of course include Windhoek, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund and Etosha.
However, maybe we will be lucky enough to see the desert lions, rhino and elephant.
Maybe a chameleon on the Skeleton Coast.
Watch a river start to flow.
Visit the Cape Cross seal colony.
Meet a local.
Have a sundowner.
See the desert flowers at the start of the rains.
Watch a full moon rise on the Zambezi river.
Or go on a Tiger fishing safari on the Zambezi and Chobe rivers.
Namibia’s national plant. The Welwitschia Mirabilis. Some specimens are over 2 000 years old and the plant is endemic to the Namib desert.
Go quad biking on the sand dunes near Swakopmund.
Take a dip in a spring in the desert.
No matter when you come, Namibia has a surprise along every track.
A very popular time to visit is between May – November. The temperature is cooler and is the best game viewing time. You may have heard about Namibia’s blanket of stars in the unpolluted night skies. Quite something to behold. The towns of Keetmanshoop and Mariental claim 2 spots in the top 3 of the most clear skies worldwide. We have the world’s second biggest canyon with the Fish River Canyon. The Skeleton coast is harsh and generally cold but full of wonders.
Sandwich Harbour and Lagoon 42 km south of Walvis Bay. Only accessible on 4×4 tours.
Sandwich Harbour and lagoon 42 km south of Walvis bay. Only accessible by 4×4 tours.
The San rock engravings at Twyfelfontein from around 2 500 years ago. The Stone age hunter-gatherers have lived in these parts for 6 000 years.
The Spitzkoppe. The 1 728m granite massif that just rises out of the surrounding plains is over 100 million years old.
The remote Kaokoveld and the Himba people. This is one of my favorite regions. It is only accessible by airplane or 4×4. There are a few lodges, but the best way is to go wild camping or camping in the community camp sites. This is one of the true examples of wilderness left in the world. We traverse the Ugab, Huab, Hoanib and Hoariseb rivers looking for our desert adapted animals. This is the last area on the planet where black rhino and lions roam free. The desert adapted elephants you normally find along our riverbeds. Some of the major rivers still flow in the dry season, only they are underground. The Mariannefluss and Hartmann’s valley are so untouched the local Himba people just ignore you as they pass on their donkies. There are not many of them as it is so dry. They live a nomadic goat herding lifestyle and follow their traditions perfectly.
The wild horses of Namibia. They are in the South, on the way from the town of Aus to Lüderitz.
We have been visiting Sossusvlei almost weekly for 20 years. We know it well. There are different categories of accommodation, inside or outside the Namib Naukluft National Park. Sunrise on Dune 45 or watch it from a hot air balloon. Visit the Sesriem Canyon. Stay in the Namib Naukluft National Park or stay at a private lodge. Literally if there is a way to see what you want to see, we have done it
Etosha National Park
Namibia’s premier wildlife destination was proclaimed as a reserve in 1907 and is 22 000km². The Etosha Pan comprises of 5 000km² and is 24% of the total area of the National Park. There are hundreds of mammals, birds, and reptiles. There are 3 main camps Okaukuejo, Halali and Namutoni. However, there are now some amazing lodges at the entrances to the Park and some new ones by Namibia Wildlife Resorts.
We can do the lodge or camping options.
We have your air-conditioned vehicle to do game drives or opt for the open-vehicle game drive option.
No matter what your requirements we will or can have it done. Namibia is a safe country, and the people are very friendly. A wide diversity of people make up Namibia and it has a colorful history. However, the landscape will leave you in awe, relaxed and with your head in the right place.

Posted by R. Emmet Sweeney on December 15, 2015
On January 3rd, 1993, the Buffalo Bills trailed the Houston Oilers 28 – 3 at halftime. I was 11 years old, and had gone to the Wild Card playoff game at Rich Stadium outside of Buffalo, NY with my father, uncle and grandfather. They were ready to pack it in and go home, to beat the traffic and avoid the humiliation of watching the end of a blowout defeat. There was no hope, what with franchise quarterback Jim Kelly on the bench with strained knee ligaments while his replacement Frank Reich scuffled. The opposing QB Warren Moon was calmly throwing lasers appropriate for his space age name, with his second TD pass going to one Webster Slaughter, and it certainly was. Better luck next year, we must have told ourselves, when Kelly would be healed and the team that went to back-to-back Super Bowls in ’91 and ’92 returned to full speed (their offense was based around the no-huddle, up-tempo offense). But I wanted to stay to the bitter end. I savored sitting on those aluminum benches, with my Bills Starter Jacket pulled over orange overalls, pinioned in between my beer-bellied family. It was 34 degrees but I was warm, there was still time to cheer and yell and let oneself go.
So we stayed, and a miracle happened. The Oilers went up 35-3 early in the 3rd Quarter, and then the Bills preposterously kept scoring, over and over again, until they pulled off the greatest comeback in NFL history, winning 41-38. It was a dream but I was there in my seat, it was impossible but there it was, right in front of me. The Bills would lose the ensuing championship, of course, as they would the following year as well, an unprecedented four-year feat of Super Bowl failure.These years are captured in all their depressing grandeur in the latest documentary in ESPN’s 30 For 30 series, Four Falls of Buffalo.
I used to have a chip on my shoulder about sports movies. Actually, more properly stated, I used to have a chip on my shoulder about sports in general, and sports movies were just a subset of that entire category of human activity that I disdained. As a kid, I wasn’t athletic—I have joked I was an avid indoorsman. It wasn’t that much of a joke.
And as sports movies go, Hoosiers was my go-to case study, the exemplar of exemplars, Patient Zero. The 1986 film is a perfect conglomeration of sports movie clichés: the down and out kids who find self-confidence as a team, the star player who needs to learn the meaning of “team,” the washed-up has-been coach struggling for redemption, the game that comes to mean Everything in the World to the main characters, who have no shot at winning it until they do… I remember reading a review (in Newsweek, I think?) when it first came out that dismayed at how predictable and routine the story beats were.
For a time, back in the early 1990s, I taught a screenwriting class in Bloomington, Indiana. I was a terrible teacher. I think I crushed the spirit of everyone foolish enough to sign up for the class—the only thing I focused on was teaching Syd Field’s three-act structure and how to properly format your scripts. As if people who signed up for an extended learning program through a community arts organization in Bloomington, Indiana wanted to learn how to sell their scripts to Hollywood agents, rather than just have a rewarding creative writing class. Well, anyway, I used Hoosiers as a case study in story structure, because its status as a generic formula picture in the most formulaic of genres meant it wore its structure very obviously on the surface and was therefore easy to dissect.

Staring disconsolately at a blank wall as the Buffalo Bills are eliminated from playoff contention is one of my longest held traditions. It’s been fourteen years since that benighted franchise has played in the second season, and any damp flickerings of hope this go ’round were quashed after consecutive demolitions by league doormats (Falcons and Buccaneers). To avoid reflecting on these latest humiliations, I escape into pigskin fantasies of the silver screen. Luckily, TCM is airing a whole day of football flicks tomorrow, from 6:45 AM to 8PM. For heartsick fans of other downtrodden teams, may I suggest William Wellman’s College Coach (1933) and Jacques Tourneur’s Easy Living (1949)? The first is a speedy campus comedy with Pat O’Neil in short pants and a crooning Dick Powell, while the latter is a downbeat relationship drama with declining QB Victor Mature and his glory-hogging wife Lizbeth Scott. Neither will rescue your franchise from irrelevance, but they will pass the time until the indignities of next football Sunday.

The NFL regular season begins this Thursday night when the defending champion Baltimore Ravens face the Denver Broncos. It has been a tumultuous offseason for the National Football League, as they battled a lawsuit brought by 4,500 ex-players seeking liability payments for the long-term health effects of head trauma. Last week the league settled the suit, paying $765 million, a small price to pay for an organization that brings in $10 billion in yearly revenue. While that will temporarily quiet the calls for wider reform, the investigative PBS program Frontline will air “League of Denial” in October, which promises to show how the NFL “covered up how football inflicted long-term brain injuries on many players.” ESPN was originally a co-presenter, but backed out after receiving pressure from the NFL.
Hollywood has yet to catch up with these unsavory developments, still grinding out a cycle of post-Blind Side inspirational football dramas. It’s way past due for another dig in the dirt like North Dallas Forty (1979) or at least the amiable satire of Michael Ritchie’s Semi-Tough(1977), which is streaming on VUDU. North Dallas Forty was recently named the greatest football movie ever by NFL.com, although it was denied the league’s cooperation on its initial release. Now it’s pill-popping wide receiver is feted on the league’s website. Semi-Tough has not been so rehabilitated. Michael Ritchie’s follow-up to The Bad News Bears, it focuses less on the violence of the sport than its megalomaniacal personalities.

In 1946, John Garfield’s contract with Warner Brothers expired. Instead of re-signing, or moving to another studio, Garfield signed on with the independent Enterprise Productions. Bringing together a group of artists who were communists, or communist sympathizers, Enterprise made an inflammatory group of nine films before folding, after which many of its members were blacklisted, including directors Robert Rossen and Abraham Polonsky. Two of their features, Body and Soul (1947) and Force of Evil (1948), respectively, ended up in the Republic Pictures library, and are being released today on Blu-Ray from Olive Films, in strong transfers. Garfield was eager to make a statement with Enterprise, telling PM Magazine in this period that:

This week millions of viewers will tune in to watch the opening ceremonies of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London so I thought it would be a good time to discuss sports movies here at the Movie Morlocks. To be frank, I’m not a big sports fan. I don’t watch or follow any sport but I can still appreciate a good sports film.

It was over 5 years ago that I wrote on these pages about my other passion and its relation to this one, and referred to an ‘essay’ that I’d written on the topic for my site. (The article is really just a compilation of movies that contain at least one scene – or even a glimpse – of my favorite sport “in action”). Since then, I’ve added dozens of additional “tennis-related” films – some foreign but mostly domestic – the most recent being the seventieth title added to the list: last year’s Academy Award winning Best Picture The Artist (2011), which has a brief scene featuring Bérénice Bejo on a tennis court, coming to the net to shake hands after a mixed doubles match.

Major League Baseball is in the midst of a preposterously entertaining postseason, with major upsets and wild finishes happening almost every night. As I typed that, Nelson Cruz hit a walk-off grand slam, the first in playoff history, to give the Rangers a victory over the Tigers in the ALCS. Even better for MLB’s image (if not the ratings) is the success of small market teams like the Tampa Bay Rays and the Milwaukee Brewers, the latter of which has surged into the National League Championship Series, quieting the yearly calls for an NFL-style salary cap. With that and the cheap-team strategizing of Moneyball still in theaters, I thought I’d highlight two scrappy low-budget baseball movies which deserve more attention (read: a home video release): It Happened in Flatbush (1942) and Big Leaguer (1953).

Quick! What could bring the talented, the powerful and the famous together in studio era Hollywood? Not a movie. Not a premiere. And not a high stakes poker game, though plenty of those went on regularly. What brought the likes of Jimmy Gleason, Walter Wanger, Spencer Tracy, Leslie Howard, Guinn “Big Boy” Williams, Walt Disney, Paul Kelly, Frank Borzage, Johnny Mack Brown, Hal Roach, Robert Montgomery, Clark Gable, George O’Brien, Darryl F. Zanuck and even Joan Crawford together in the same places week after week when their work was done?

As noted earlier this month in the Personal Journal section of the WSJ, there haven’t been very many sports-related movies nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. While the sport of boxing has received the most attention from the Academy, only two other sports have had more than a single nominee among the year’s best over its 82 year history: America’s former and current pastimes – baseball and football, respectively. Last year’s dramatization of football’s Michael Oher story – The Blind Side (2009) – just received a nomination, but was likely aided by Sandra Bullock’s performance (and nomination for Best Actress) and the fact that AMPAS increased the number of nominees from 5 to 10 for the first time since 1943, when Casablanca (1942) won.
During the Academy’s tenure, only 14 of 479 (less than 3%) nominees for Best Picture – arguably its most vaunted, certainly its most remembered and discussed if not always most acclaimed category – have been sports-related movies despite the inherent drama in stories like that of Jim Braddock (Cinderella Man (2005)), which failed to earn a BP nomination. One can only speculate whether The Champ (1931) – one of eight nominees for the top award that year, Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941) and even The Pride of the Yankees (1942) would have been nominated if the Academy had limited the category to 5 nominees, as it did from 1944 through 2008.
But a more interesting question might be: which sports movies “woulda, coulda, shoulda” been contenders if there had been 10 Best Picture nominees in their respective years?

Dipkar in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – The wish to share our compassion and love with the needy through free meals is the main reason we – DIPKAR members – has launched DIPKAR’s Food for the Poor (DFP) the first and foremost. DIPKAR members have worked on DFP program over 6 months. The program made its debut on November 10, 2016 in An Phu Ward and Binh Trung Dong Ward (District 2, Ho Chi Minh City), providing over 230 meals for the poverty-stricken, disabled, and elderly people without caregivers or poor immigrants in these areas. DFP program keeps running here every Thursday morning.
The good news is that DFP program now reaches other locations like Children Hospital 2 (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) with more than 330 meals given to sick and poor people and their caregivers here.
Recently, DFP program has expanded into Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City. With the assistance of human resources from Binh Thanh District Youth Federation, every Saturday, DFP program provides more than 350 meals for poverty-stricken, disabled, and elderly people without caregivers as well as poor students or sick people in hospitals in Binh Thanh District.
Mr. Le Thanh Vu, head of Binh Thanh District Youth Federation, says: “Binh Thanh District is an overpopulated area with a total of 20 wards. People from rural areas flood into Binh Thanh District, mostly to seek jobs or study; many of them live a hard life. They are poverty-stricken, disabled, elderly people without caregivers, as well as poor students, sick people from hospitals in the district…We are so happy that DFP program has reached the needy people here”.
Mr. Le Thanh Vu and other members of Binh Thanh District Youth Federation have provided great support in terms of human power and logistics for DFP program. “DFP program help the young volunteers in our organization have better understanding of the hard life that poor people are facing and gives them the chance to contribute to the community for the poor people’s well-being”, he says.

On average, DFP program now provides over 550 meals per week.
In addition to the great efforts of DIPKAR’s member in running DFP program, we also received invaluable sponsorship from external donors who are very kind-hearted and provided us with volunteer hours or financial support. We would like to express our deepest gratitude towards them for their help, without which we would have not been able to run the program.
We look forward to expanding our food relief program into other areas to extend our hands to more struggling people. Therefore, we need all of your assistance to continue on the journey of bringing love and compassion to the needy.

President Donald Trump enters the second week of his presidency facing a growing political backlash with protesters in the streets, lawsuits mounting and his own party fracturing over his executive order banning travel to the United States from seven Muslim-majority nations. The resistance is offering an early and immediate preview of the dynamics of the Trump presidency: It tests the opposition’s strength and durability, the White House’s crisis management capabilities and Capitol Hill Republicans’ willingness to stomach the controversy that accompanies Trump’s efforts to fulfill his campaign promises. Meanwhile, stories of students, public figures and even a military translator who are suddenly unclear on whether they can enter the United States are setting social media ablaze. It all comes as the nascent Trump administration enters a critical period, with Trump still seeking Senate confirmation for most of his Cabinet nominees. The White House is scrambling to tamp down the controversy, with Trump addressing it in a statement and taking a warning shot at critical Republicans. And his administration is considering moving up the announcement of his first Supreme Court appointment from Thursday to possibly Tuesday, potentially in an effort to change the subject.

Today was the last big Sunday breakfast of 2012 and I wanted to make something special for my boys. That extra large carton of ricotta that I bought for the Christmas Eve Lasagna that also made a nice addition to the NYE appetizer is like the gift that keeps on giving, so I decided to make ricotta cheese pancakes. I made them last year when I had exactly the same problem and they were a big hit. They are so light and fluffy and that little bit of sugar and vanilla in the batter really add a touch of sweetness. Hunter loves pancakes and always gets so excited when I make them, so I decided to up the excitement ante by adding chocolate chips. The dried cranberries were just a little addition that I wanted to add and he was pretty much none the wiser when I didn’t mention that part. After a little help from my overly eager sous chef, the pancakes hit the stove and turned out pretty good. Conveniently Daddy woke up just in time to eat and they ended up being very well received. I sure hope they enjoyed this one last indulgence in 2012 because things are about to lighten up a bit next week. Happy New Year!!!!!
- 1 cup Frigo Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- Pinch Salt
- 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- In a separate bowl combine ricotta cheese, egg yolks, milk and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add dry mixture to cheese mixture.
- In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat egg whites until stiff. Slowly fold egg whites into cheese and flour mixture.
- Heat a large saute pan or griddle over medium heat until hot. Spray with cooking spray. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, pour pancake batter onto pan. After 1-2 minutes add chocolate chips and cranberries. Cook one more minute. Flip pancakes and cook 1-2 minutes or until golden on both side. Serve with maple syrup and sifted confectioner's sugar if desired.

Fancy colleges want to make sure only the right sort of people get in, and chief among their tools is the legacy admissions system which gives priority to the children of former students. Mostly rich insiders, "legacies" were originally favored to keep Jews out, and to this day they help Ivy League colleges manage the headcount of undesirables. Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has struck down affirmative action, which was a key challenge to this self-reproducing elitism, a civil rights group is taking aim at what amounts to affirmative action for whites.
"Why are we rewarding children for privileges and advantages accrued by prior generations?" said Ivan Espinoza-Madrigal, the group's executive director. "Your family's last name and the size of your bank account are not a measure of merit, and should have no bearing on the college admissions process."Opponents say the practice is no longer defensible without affirmative action providing a counterbalance. The court's ruling says colleges must ignore the race of applicants, activists point out, but schools can still give a boost to the children of alumni and donors.
A good opportunity for the courts to land on whatever finely-sliced version of "colleges can let people in on any basis they please, even if it's overtly discriminatory, and continue to receive federal funding" they can shovel through what's left of the Civil Rights Act and Title IX.

At GoServ Global, we believe child sponsorship has the power to change lives and deliver hope to children across the globe. All children deserve to have access to medical care, dental care, safety, love and protection. Sponsoring kids is a compassionate way to connect you and your family with a child in need and their community.
How Does Child Sponsorship Work?
What does it mean to sponsor a child? When you sponsor a child through a child sponsorship program, he or she experiences physical, emotional and spiritual benefits. Sponsoring benefits children worldwide, in places like Haiti, Guatemala and India. Your special relationship with your sponsored child can transform their life and provide them with a better future.
Child sponsorship starts with three simple steps:
- Select a child to sponsor on a monthly or yearly basis.
- Receive your welcome to learn how your monetary gift helps your sponsored child thrive.
- Stay informed of your child’s progress through photographs and updates.
You’ll quickly learn that sponsoring a child doesn’t just change one life—it changes your life, too.
Sponsoring a Child Helps Provide Medical and Dental Care
Access to health care plays a pivotal role in a child’s wellbeing and development, as well as the overall poverty rate in his or her community. Children in impoverished communities are at greater risk for illness, tooth decay and gum disease. Prolonged health issues and unmet dental needs can cause children to fall behind in school, abandon their education and have difficulty making a living wage.
Child sponsorship helps address the root of the problem by providing basic medical and dental care to children in need. Sponsorship funds provide children with the opportunity to access life-changing antibiotics for infections, as well as basic medical care at local health clinics.
Many recurring sponsorship gifts also protect children against preventable health issues by funding educational programs that encourage healthy habits such as nutrition, water sanitation and oral hygiene.
Additional Benefits of Child Sponsorship Programs
Child sponsorship programs focus on meeting basic, necessary needs for children living in poverty or marginalized communities. In addition to medical and dental care, sponsorship gifts can help create a path for children who need access to the following:
- Hunger relief
Every sponsorship counts toward improving the lives of children in need through positive change, hope and critical resources.
Sponsor a Child Through GoServ Global
Now that you’ve learned how to sponsor a child in need, are you ready to take the next step? At GoServ Global, you can fund a child with confidence knowing that 100 percent of your sponsorship goes to your sponsored child.
Donate online now or choose a child to sponsor today. Our secure platform enables you to browse child biographies, view photographs and join us in sharing God’s love through child sponsorship.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/9/2019 (293 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
There's rarely a dull moment when it comes to the Winnipeg Jets.
And now you have another way to keep tabs on what's happening with the local hockey club. Say hello to The Morning Skate, a video blog from Free Press sports columnist and Jets beat writer Mike McIntyre.
We dropped the puck on the new feature today with a dispatch from Bell MTS Iceplex, where the Jets officially kicked off the 2019-2020 season with the start of training camp. And what a day it was.
From Patrik Laine and Kyle Connor both missing from the roster due to prolonged contract disputes, to the surprise announcement of veteran defenceman Dustin Byfuglien being granted an indefinite personal leave of absence, there seemed to be more focus on who wasn't on the ice than who was.
Mike will be filing regular installments while covering the Jets both here at home and on the road. Expect to go beyond the headlines for additional stories, anecdotes and insight surrounding the Jets and the NHL. He'll also be joined by some special guests along the way.
It's already shaping up to be a most interesting season, and we're excited to have you join us on the journey.
Watch the first episode below, then catch the latest Morning Skate at winnipegfreepress.com/morning-skate.

While exploring the grounds of Hopeland Gardens looking for magnolia seed pods, I discovered a group of mushrooms that were growing out of a stump that had been cut during the spring. I had inspected the stump earlier in the year (when the saw dust was still fresh) looking for stump art that Mother Nature may have hidden inside the tree, but didn’t find anything. I loved how tightly they were packed together in a relatively small area, and, because of that, my artistic goal was to fill the frame with as many of the mushrooms as I could. I worked several angles and produced many other compositions (some of which are available as stock only pieces) before creating Toadstools. Though serendipitous, I also like how their sizes decrease from top to bottom and left to right. The high level of detail allows tiny hairs and texture to be seen.
NOTE: I hope my regular readers and those who know the difference will forgive my placement of mushrooms into the Flora category. I know that they aren’t technically considered flora, but I don’t currently have a fungi category, so for now, that’s where they fall in my website’s structure.
