A shrewd and triumphant retooling of Margaret Edson’s 1997 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “Wit” tempers its harrowing tale of an English literary scholar’s fierce fight against ovarian cancer with a strong strain of the title trait. While subject matter may be initially off-putting to some, positive word-of-mouth generated by memories of the theatrical experience, Emma Thompson’s sensational leading perf and vet Mike Nichols’ measured, top-of-his-game direction should put those fears in quick remission. Focused, emotionally draining and ultimately inspiring, “Wit” is nothing less than a cancer comedy with courage and compassion, and pic should ride those strengths to healthy vital signs on all charts with intelligent auds.
Having just learned of her advanced, stage-four metastatic ovarian cancer (“There is no stage five,” she’s told firmly), tough and prickly 48-year-old Vivian Bearing (Thompson) has agreed to undergo the most brutal form of chemotherapy available. To this end she puts herself in the eager but insensitive hands of veteran researcher Dr. Harvey Kelekian (Christopher Lloyd) and his young internist — and Bearing’s former student — Dr. Jason Posner (Jonathan M. Woodward), assisted by compassionate nurse Susie Monahan (Audra McDonald).
As the tests proceed and the inevitable side effects begin to wrack her body, the game yet increasingly desperate and despondent Vivian reflects on the parallels between her fight and the life-and-death issues at the heart of the Holy Sonnets of John Donne, to which she’s dedicated her professional life .
Former mentor E.M. Ashford (Eileen Atkins) comes to visit and reads to her “The Runaway Bunny” (the patient rejects Donne with a groan). Through it all Vivan endures the humiliating procedures and perfunctory exhortations of the two doctors, falling back on a wit at once merciless and bitter. Yet, as she comes to face the inevitable truth that the procedure isn’t working, she also grieves for her own insensitivity and drive, realizing that “knowledge isn’t power.”
In her wake, she’s effected an apparently profound change on at least two of her caregivers .
The risks in filming such a theatrical experience are enormous, yet the original material has been carefully and smartly reworked for the screen by Thompson and Nichols, sharing screenplay credit and their first creative collaboration since “Primary Colors.” Subtle yet crucial shifts from theatrical to film conventions abound, reaffirming Thompson’s skill as both writer and actress (“Sense and Sensibility”) as well as Nichols’ proven track record with theatrical properties (“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” and “Biloxi Blues” spring immediately to mind, although the blithely bitter sarcasm of “Postcards From the Edge” is arguably closest in tone to this new work).
On top of a number of technically intricate long takes, the most daring visual gambit involves the effortless blending of actors and sets to meld flashback and contempo hospital scenes together, while the potentially hoary device of having Thompson address the camera directly has new life breathed into it via Nichols’ blocking and the skillful camerawork of lenser Seamus McGarvey (“The Winter Guest”).
Nichols’ legendary way with actors is in evidence again. Thompson is utterly believable in all phases of the debilitating illness, while Lloyd finally has a role in which he can exploit the odd yet appealing mix of eccentricity and sincerity that was promised by “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Taxi” but has lately proved elusive.
Vets Atkins and Pinter make the most of their few scenes (the “Runaway Bunny” sequence is an emotional high point); Woodward acquits himself admirably in his screen debut as perhaps the most complex male character in the piece, and McDonald (most recently seen in “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”) contributes much-needed warmth with a character that grows in importance through the late reels.
Tech credits are first rate, with production designer Stuart Wurtzel’s quartet of stark and sterile hospital sets utterly convincing (pic was shot at London’s Pinewood Studios). The spot-on choice of musical selections also evoke a plaintive theatrical punctuation, lending the production a spare dignity from which it benefits enormously on the bigscreen and will survive intact in tube shrinkage.

Keeping tobacco products out of view at stores can cut teens' smoking risk
Keeping tobacco products out of view in convenience stores may significantly reduce teenagers\' susceptibility to future cigarette use, a new study has found.
Keeping tobacco products out of view in convenience stores may significantly reduce teenagers' susceptibility to future cigarette use, a new study has found.
The study conducted by the US-based non-profit organisation RAND Corporation found an 11 per cent reduction in cigarette smoking susceptibility when the tobacco 'power wall' was hidden compared to when the display of tobacco products was visible behind the cashier.
Power walls are usually positioned behind the cashier. In the current study, researchers created a power wall consistent with what would normally be found in a typical convenience store.
"These findings suggest limiting the visibility of tobacco displays in retail stores may reduce the number of young people who try cigarettes," said William Shadel, associate director of RAND Population Health Programme.
The study is the first to use a realistic setting to examine whether limiting displays of cigarettes and other tobacco products in retail outlets can reduce the intention of young people to begin smoking.
A total of 241 adolescents aged 11 and 17 participated in the study, regardless of past tobacco use. The teens were told the study was looking at adolescent convenience store shopping habits.
Researchers had teens visit a replica of a convenience store to do shopping while the tobacco power wall was in one of three random locations: behind the cashier, on a sidewall away from the cashier or hidden behind a screen.
Moving the power-wall to a less obvious location did not have any effect.
Teens filled out a post-shopping experience questionnaire to determine their attitude towards smoking and their susceptibility to future smoking.
Researchers found hiding the tobacco power wall significantly reduced teenagers' susceptibility to future cigarette smoking compared to leaving the tobacco advertising visible.
Moving the power wall to a less-obvious location did not have any effect.
The findings were published in the journal Tobacco Control.

Bangladesh has asked telecom operators to cut access to 3G, 4G and LTE internet services in Rohingya camp areas of Teknaf and Ukhia, reports The Globe Post. 2G services remain active but 2G speeds are barely enough to access the internet. Last week, the government had asked telecom operators to shut down mobile phone services and to stop selling SIM cards in the camps, citing security threats and illegal phone use. Telecom operators were given seven days to submit reports to the government on the actions they took to shut down networks in the camp. This crackdown came a few days after Rohingyas rallied on the two-year anniversary of their exodus. Bangladesh had tried to ban mobile phones in Rohingya camps in 2017, but this was never wholly enforced; mobile phones and SIM cards had remained easily available. Rohingyas camps in Myanmar are…

As you stand in line, do you realize that the water you drink could not be as pure as the water used in our houses, farms, and businesses? Are you not aware of this already? You should be, really. In its 2019 report, the World Bank linked the decline in water quality to the diminished economic potential of polluted regions. The study issues a warning that low water quality may be harmful to the ecosystem and public health.
Exercise Extra Care! There’s a Chance of Injury!
The likelihood that a river may become polluted and the expense of cleaning it up are increased by the presence of many sources such as animal waste, overflowing trash cans, residential lawns, overflowing sewage systems, and animal excrement. Underlying issues like weather patterns and meteorological floods brought on by climate change exacerbate the situation. This increases the difficulty of handling the matter significantly. The water supply is impacted by a wide range of species besides humans. Some individuals worry that the quality of drinking water sources may drastically decline as a result of climate change.
The existence of water is necessary for life to continue.
Water is both required for the continuing survival of all living things and is vital to their well-being, including people, plants, and animals of all types. The only material that is absolutely necessary for human survival is water. While water is still the most vital material overall, only oxygen is more necessary for life to continue on Earth than water. A number of studies have shown that just around 3 percent of the planet’s water supply is really drinkable.
To Guarantee Appropriate Processes
When hazardous pollutants and chemicals are dumped into rivers and other water sources by home and industrial sources, the quality of the water is declining. Metals and microbes are two possible forms of pollutants and poisons. Fertilizers and pesticides, which may pollute groundwater sources, are essential to agriculture in large quantities. Water pollution is caused by a variety of causes, not only industry and agriculture.
Drinking contaminated water should be avoided at all costs since it may be dangerous. Water has to be filtered before it may be drunk, used in cooking, or added to food. This is because it’s possible that germs and other contaminants are present in the water.
Making Use of the Ion Fluoride
In water systems seen in nature, chloride ions are quite uncommon. More particular, it occurs more often in polluted water. Chloride-rich water is not only tasted salty, but it also damages the infrastructure that supplies water and makes it available.
An intermediate produced when NH2 is chemically changed into nitrate is called nitrite. It has a reputation for being very reactive. Nitrite undergoes oxidation when it comes into contact with oxygen, turning into nitrate. In contrast, nitrite will decrease in the absence of oxygen, which will eventually lead to the production of ammonia. Drinking water containing nitrite is harmful since it increases the risk of cancer and many other severe health issues when ingested repeatedly. A condition known as “blue baby syndrome” occurs when a newborn’s skin becomes BLUE due to an increased amount of nitrite in the blood.

The Department of Science and Technology-Advanced Science and Technology Institute (DOST-ASTI) will build a ground receiving station featuring the largest tracking antenna in the Philippines, in Davao City.
According to a recent report, the Department inked a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines for the establishment of a Remote Multi-Mission Antenna System facility in the antenna bay compound of the Davao International Airport.
Characteristics and Capabilities
This ground receiving station is reportedly the second that the Philippine Earth Data Resource and Observation (PEDRO) Centre established.
This one will have a larger moving antenna as compared to the first one, which is located at the Department of Science and Technology-Advanced Science and Technology Institute (DOST-ASTI) facility at the University of the Philippines, Diliman campus.
Equipped with a 7.3 – metre diameter, the station will be capable of receiving higher-frequency data. It will also have a 40-foot container van that will serve as the control room at the station.
According to the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), the ground facility is designed to communicate with Earth observation satellites deployed in space.
It will be receiving, processing, exploiting and distributing space-borne imagery and derive information from remote-sensing satellites for various applications.
These applications would include disaster mitigation, natural-resource management, environmental monitoring, pollution control, energy exploration, intelligence and emergency response management.
Who are involved?
The project is part of a multi-agency research and development effort of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, UP Diliman, DOST-ASTI, and two Japanese academic institutions – Tohoku University and Hokkaido University.
This effort is under the Space Technology and Applications Mastery, Innovation and Advancement Program, which succeeded Philippine Scientific Earth Observation Micro-satellite Program.
The country’s Diwata-2 microsatellite, which was launched into space from Japan, is also a part of the program. The microsatellite is expected to feed data to PEDRO.
OpenGov Asia earlier reported on the Second Philippine microsatellite launched into space.
The report detailed on Diwata-2, the more technologically advanced sibling of the ground-breaking Diwata-1 microsatellite, which orbits at a higher altitude of 620 kilometres.
It features deployable solar panels for increased power generation output and an enhanced resolution camera (ERC).
All these efforts are pointing towards the goal of establishing the Philippine Space Agency. OpenGov Asia recently reported that the establishment of the Philippine Space Agency will be beneficial for it will contribute to the country’s economy.
The setting up of the Agency will contribute to the country’s economy in a combination of the upstream and downstream market.
The thrust of the upstream market is to be able to provide the country with the technology such as the fabrication of space components.
For the downstream part, there will be a change in the Filipino talent landscape and opportunities because of the amount of data satellites this can produce for the country.
Meanwhile, OpenGov Asia reported on the recent unanimous House approval of the Philippine Space Development Bill.
The Bill received 207 affirmative votes and without abstention. According to the Bill, it is the State policy to support the development of science and technology that shall foster nationalism and patriotism.

Fort Collins, Colorado, drivers are the safest in the U.S., according to Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report, which was released yesterday. Allstate Insurance Company’s ninth annual such report includes four Colorado cities in its ranking of the 200 largest cities in the U.S. Allstate writes: “Allstate’s auto policies represent about 10 percent of all U.S. auto policies, making this report a realistic snapshot of what’s happening on America’s roadways.”
The report is based on the insurance company’s claims data, and ranks the cities according to how often car accidents take place in them. In addition to Fort Collins — which is number one on the list — the list includes the Colorado cities of Colorado Springs (at number 15), Denver-Lakewood (at number 64), and Aurora (at number 70).
This is the third year that Fort Collins has taken top honors by having the number one place on the list, according to an Allstate press release. The report finds that the average Fort Collins driver experiences a car crash once every 13.9 years, a full 28.2% less likely than the national average of 10 years. Last year, the city ranked number three on the list.
As Howard Pankratz writes for The Denver Post:
‘Drivers in Fort Collins are making great progress towards keeping America’s roadways safe,’ Phil George of Allstate said in a statement. ‘We salute Fort Collins for consistently being among America’s best drivers and recognize their safe driving skills, which make all of our communities’ safer place to live, work and raise families.’
The Post notes that drivers in Colorado Springs are 14.7% less likely to crash their vehicles, with an average of 11.7 years between accidents. However, drivers in the Denver-Lakewood region are .4% more likely to have a crash than the national average, and have on average 10 years between collisions; and in Aurora, drivers are 2% more likely than the national average to have a crash. The press release points out that based on its population size, Denver-Lakewood topped the list among commuters in American cities with populations of 750,000 to 1 million.
As this blog has reported, there was an estimated 5.3% increase in traffic fatalities in the last year, with a total of more than 34,000 in 2012, the first increase in traffic deaths in seven years, according to the AAA. Allstate found that 70% of vehicles involved in accident claims were considered drivable, showing that most claims are the result of low speed accidents (under 35 miles per hour) that take place in “stop and go” traffic.
George said it is vital to educate American drivers about safe driving practices to help make roads safer, and added: “Minimizing distractions, obeying traffic laws, and using your car’s safety features like turn signals and headlights, are all ways to be safer, no matter where you drive.”

Heading Home signs on to run Gateway Center shelter
[anvplayer video=”5143109″ station=”998122″]
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — As we close in on the early 2023 opening date for Albuquerque’s Gateway Center, a household name in addressing homelessness just signed on to play a big role in the center.
Heading Home, the state’s largest provider for the homeless, will run the shelter inside the center.
Chassity Garcia, who brings lived experience to the table, will run the Women’s Gateway Program specifically.
“I didn’t know where to go next. And when I didn’t know where to go next, I tried to reach out and I couldn’t get a hold of anybody,” said Garcia. “I overcame it, and that’s why I’m here today.”
Garcia says she’s excited to work with Native women specifically, who need a host of resources.
“That way we are able to help them be stabilized and to help them achieve their goals – if not, we will try again and again and again and again and again,” said Garcia.
City leaders say Heading Home far surpassed the qualifications they were looking for in a partner to run the shelter.
“They have a history of partnership with the city that is very strong– they run our westside emergency shelter, they run the Albuquerque opportunity center which is a men’s shelter, and they also partner with us for the wellness two hotels,” said Cristina Parajon, Gateway administrator.
Construction crews are moving full speed ahead toward the opening date. Phase one includes fifty beds for women, and a 24/7 first responder drop-off.
“Really what it is is it’s a placement system,” said Parajon. “So as soon as you come into the first responder drop off you have a case manager, you have a peer support worker, who will then be able to help you toward your next place.”
Parajon says recent numbers, among other things, drive the focus on women specifically.
“We have less beds in the city available for women than we do for men even when we’re talking in terms of proportion,” said Parajon. “Essentially there are more Native women experiencing homelessness on our streets here in Albuquerque than Latina and white women combined. And so as we’re opening these first 50 beds, the initial phase of Gateway that will serve 200 women a year we wanted to really make sure our services were accessible.”
Heading Home has about $2 million in city funding to run the shelter for the first half of 2023.

Even something as easy as guessing the beginning letter of long words can assist your child improve his phonics abilities. Form Worksheet For Art.
There isn't anything like a superb story, and nothing like being the person who started a renowned urban legend. Deciding upon the ideal approach route Cursive writing is basically joined-up handwriting. Practice reading by yourself as often as possible.
Research urban legends to obtain a concept of what's out there prior to making a new one. You are still not sure the radicals have the proper idea. Naturally, you won't use the majority of your ideas. If you've got an idea for a tool please inform us. That means you can begin right where you are no matter how little you might feel you've got to give. You are also quite suspicious of any revolutionary shift. In earlier times you've stated that the move of independence may be too early.
Each lesson in handwriting should start on a fresh new page, so the little one becomes enough room to practice. Every handwriting lesson should begin with the alphabets. Handwriting learning is just one of the most important learning needs of a kid. Learning how to read isn't just challenging, but fun too.
The use of grids The use of grids is vital in earning your child learn to Improve handwriting. Also, bear in mind that maybe your very first try at brainstorming may not bring anything relevant, but don't stop trying. Once you are able to work, you might be surprised how much you get done. Take into consideration how you feel about yourself. Getting able to modify the tracking helps fit more letters in a little space or spread out letters if they're too tight. Perhaps you must enlist the aid of another man to encourage or help you keep focused.
Form Worksheet For Art. Try to remember, you always have to care for your child with amazing care, compassion and affection to be able to help him learn.

As a result, if a kid is already suffering from ADHD his handwriting will definitely be affected. Accordingly, to be able to accomplish this, if children are taught to form different shapes in a suitable fashion, it is going to enable them to compose the letters in a really smooth and easy method.

Let say, you would like to boost your son's or daughter's handwriting, it is but obvious that you want to give your son or daughter plenty of practice, as they say, practice makes perfect.
Without phonics skills, it's almost impossible, especially for kids, to learn how to read new words. Techniques to Handle Attention Issues It is extremely essential that should you discover your kid is inattentive to his learning especially when it has to do with reading and writing issues you must begin working on various ways and to improve it. Use a student's name in every sentence so there's a single sentence for each kid. Because he or she learns at his own rate, there is some variability in the age when a child is ready to learn to read. Teaching your kid to form the alphabets is quite a complicated practice.

Supporters of Kawempe North Member of Parliament Hajj Latif Ssebaggala have to contend with the indecisiveness of their candidate after he made a total U-turn against his earlier position not to retain the seat.
During the funeral of his elder brother and former Kampala mayor Al Hajj Nasser Ssebaggala, Latif said he would not oppose calls from his supporters to retain his seat, even though as an independent.
Ssebaggala, who had earlier expressed interest in running for Kampala Lord Mayor in the forthcoming 2021 general election, and was subsequently handed the National Unity Platform ticket to hold their flag, withdrew from the race to the shock of many observers.
Ssebaggala has now made a U-turn, and decided that he will run in the constituency that he has represented for 20 years, as an independent.
Ssebaggala’s decision means that he is going to fight against his party NUP.


Neha Kakkar launches original Punjabi song
Commenting on the remixes trending in Bollywood, Neha told IANS: “I have sung ‘Kala chashma’, ‘Kar gayi chull, ‘Mahi ve’, ‘Gal ban gayi’, and now ‘Cheez badi’ also, which are all recreations. I am definitely in favour (of recreations), and they have been well appreciated and loved.”
“The only drawback is people have high expectations as they love the old songs. At times, it can go downward since there have been songs that haven’t done well so one has to be very careful.”
The 28-year-old started off as a contestant of the singing-based reality show “Indian Idol” in 2006.
Neha, who has sung in Punjabi, Hindi and Bengali, is also keen on collaborating with an international artiste.

3rd Annual Savannah Comedy Fest presented by Front Porch Improv
Thurs., Jan. 24
White Whale Craft Ales, 1207 Bull St., 8 p.m.
Fri., Jan. 25 and Sat., Jan. 26
Front Porch Improv, 2222 Bull St., 8 p.m.
THIS WEEKEND, Front Porch Improv wants to make you laugh.
The three-day Savannah Comedy Festival is dedicated to showing the best sketch, improv, and variety comedy around the country.
This year, performances by Mark Kendall and Lauren Hope Krass are sure to be the talk of the town.
Kendall’s show, The Magic Negro, takes a look into the representation of black males in the media and what it means to use stereotypes in satire.
With A Krass Act, Krass talks about her life through storytelling, stand-up comedy, and musical numbers.
We talked with Kendall and Krass last week.
Mark Kendall w/ The Magic Negro
Tell me about "The Magic Negro."
Kendall: It's a nod to the archetype in literature and TV and art of the old wise black man, the Morgan Freeman type, that's kind of guiding the white protagonist on their journey. It always struck me as odd because they popped up a lot in the movies, but their only function was to help the white person get what they wanted. Despite their wisdom, they were low status. To me, it felt like an Uncle Remus character, like a benevolent slave.
How do you use that in your show?
Kendall: It's a sketch show, but one of the main lines is I pop up two or three times as the Magic Negro. It's interesting because he's this nice host, even though he's talking about some unsavory things like racism and inequality, and he's making the audience comfortable. I put this grotesque archetype in front of the audience, and if that character makes you comfortable, maybe ask yourself why.
There’s a lot of crowd work. I have another one called “Sam or Larry?” and I bring up an audience member to see if they can tell black celebrities apart. That inspiration is a jumping off point. When you see a black person, do you really see them as an individual person, or do you see them as a black person and all the negative baggage we’ve associated with blackness?
I’m using these stereotypes like I’m trying to satirize them, but audiences may not necessarily know what I’m satirizing versus what’s just funny. The thing that’s tough with stereotypes is that they’re these jovial comedic characters, and if you go back to the first time black Americans were depicted in paintings and comics, they used comedy programs or comic strips to create these stereotypes. If you’re using comedy, then, to try and satirize these things, can you trust the audience to know what you’re making fun of? I like my audiences to enjoy the show instead of be sad, so I work to make them feel comfortable, but I question myself like in the work I do trying to make my white audience member comfortable. Is that honest?
What’s your audience reception been like? Are people getting it?
Kendall: It's been good. I did a run at the Alliance Theatre, which is one of the theatres [in Atlanta] and I did a run at Dad's Garage; I've done it a few times over the past few years. What people will laugh at will vary. There are some pieces that are Atlanta-centric—I have a piece about MARTA—so I'm interested to see what material will do well.
What do you hope viewers take away from the set?
Kendall: The goal is to make them laugh, but I guess it would also be nice if, by the end, you start to ask yourself, "Why does something make me laugh or not?" I think it's worth thinking about. This is one story that makes me think related to this. I was at a white friend's house and [Atlanta Braves outfielder] Andruw Jones was up to bat, and I remember his mom being like, "I always liked Andruw Jones so much because he smiles when he comes up to the plate." There's nothing wrong with liking that or that comment, but he's at work playing sports and sports are competitive. If he didn't smile, would you think him something else? Would you think him unlikable?
Lauren Krass w/ A Krass Act
How did you get started with comedy?
Krass: I've been doing standup comedy about seven years. I started in Charleston and I was doing improv at Theater 99. I was doing improv after I graduated college, wandering around, like, "What is life?"
I just tried it and stuck with it. I didn’t always want to be a stand-up comedian, but the first time I did it was at a loud, crowded open mic. I didn’t necessarily crush, but the one thing I noticed was that everybody shut up and listened to me, and that really stuck with me. People care about what I have to say and I have no idea why. Everybody shut up, and that was a sign to keep writing, keep going. It’s really been such a fun journey. It’s been really tough, but since my standup is largely autobiographical, about my life and my upbringing and dating and being a fat woman, it’s really helped me grow as a person with self-discovery.
How do you work being a fat woman into your set?
Krass: For me, it's my own form of protest. I'm not making fun of other people, but I do make fun of society. I'm making fat jokes, but not, "Laugh at me, I'm fat," but "I'm fat, why don't you think I'm hot? Don't you want to fuck me?" I try to take it back.
Nicole Byer just had a really awesome interview about fat jokes and I loved all of it, because what I deal with is people saying, “No, you’re pretty!” My experience is so much more nuanced.
You’ve done a lot of festivals. What’s the importance of a comedy festival?
Krass: When you're a new comic, you want to get seen. The first comedy festival I did was in New York while I was living in Charleston, called the She-Devil Festival. Those aren't always the best, especially if it's an all-female festival—don't pit us all against each other!
I love doing feminist comedy festivals because you get to meet and network with really powerful, funny women.
People who have seen your show say it feels like you’re on the verge of making it big. What does that feel like?
Krass: I feel it too. I know I'm supposed to be modest, but I feel like in the next few years, some big things are going to happen.
None of us know how this works, not even the comedians. I submitted to Comedy Central for a half hour, I auditioned in L.A. for a bunch of stuff because the casting director for E! really liked me—they got Joan Rivers vibes. I didn’t get anything, but I got so close—this is a sign.
What can viewers expect?
Krass: I think readers should expect to have a lot of fun at my show. I've been really discovering my voice lately, which is kind of a silly psychopath. Since I've been so much more comfortable on stage, it's fun for everybody. People say it feels like we're friends during the show. I think people are going to have a lot of fun.

VSR Financial Services names Radford as CEO
VSR Financial Services Inc. has named Christopher Radford as CEO. Radford succeeds J. Michael Stanfield, who now is chief investment officer, a new position at the firm.
Radford had been Overland Park-based VSR’s president since he joined the firm in June 2007 and keeps the president title. He has worked in the financial services industry for more than 20 years.
Stanfield, one of VSR’s founders, had been CEO for 18 years and also was president before Radford joined the firm.
Co-founder Donald Beary continues as chairman, executive vice president and director of sales.
VSR said in a Thursday release that the changes in its executive management are part of a succession plan the firm’s board started in 2005.
Stanfield and Beary agreed in May to pay $10.3 million through their insurance company to settle a negligence case filed by 249 customers. Stanfield told the Kansas City Business Journal on May 21 that he and Beary did not admit to any wrongdoing as part of the settlement.
In an interview, Thursday, Stanfield said that he had told VSR’s employees and representatives a year ago that he would step down as CEO. He turned 64 last month, he said, and Beary is 65.
“My decision to step down was not related in any way to the arbitration award,” Stanfield said.
VSR is a national financial securities and investment adviser firm. The company has about 270 representatives, including 75 employees in Overland Park, and offices in 36 states. It projects revenue of $70 million in 2009.

Carol Buckley - Sanctuary: A Captive Elephant's Only Acceptable Alternative
There is a crisis facing elephants in captivity and in their home ranges. The goal of the directors and staff of The Elephant Sanctuary is to provide a haven for old, sick or needy elephants. The elephants live in a setting of green pastures, old-growth forests, spring-fed ponds and a heated barn for cold winter nights. In addition to the care of the animals, Carol and her staff work to provide education about the crisis facing these social, intelligent and endangered creatures.

This unusually rainy summer increases the chances of foot rot, a bacterial disease found in all ages of cattle. Normal, healthy hoof tissue is impervious to the several kinds of anaerobic bacteria that cause foot rot. But when cows stand in puddles or marshy ground, their hooves become soft and more vulnerable to small cuts and abrasions that provide bacteria an entry into the tissue. Foot rot typically has an incubation period of 5-7 days, during which the bacteria begin to secrete toxins that cause lameness.
- Tissue between the toes becomes red and swollen, and eventually splits.
- The foot is sometimes warm.
- The animal may develop a fever and become lethargic.
- Affected animals don’t eat enough, affecting their milk production and growth.
There are a variety of conditions that can masquerade as foot rot, so it’s important to get a correct diagnosis. Mild cases can be successfully treated with topical application of zinc sulfate, while more severe cases require antibiotics. However, foot rot can spread upward to the animal’s fetlock, and in these cases recovery is much less likely.
Prevention tips include:
- If possible, find ways to improve drainage in marshy, muddy areas of your pasture. Concrete pads in feeding/watering areas can be effective.
- Quarantining new animals is always a good idea.
- Foot rot can spread to your herd from infected soil on tires or boots. The bacteria can survive for up to 10 months — so be mindful of where you’ve driven or walked.
- Sometimes animals congregate in the same areas, resulting in a buildup of manure — in that case, finding ways to rotate them around the pasture can help keep their feet drier and healthier.
- Finally, supplementation with copper and zinc can help make your herd’s hooves healthier and less vulnerable to infection.

So far, summer 2015 has been one of the rainiest on record. Cool, wet conditions can favor the development of white mold in soybeans, a fungal disease that can substantially affect your yield by reducing seed number and weight. Symptoms of white mold, which is also known as sclerotinia stem rot, include a fluffy, cotton-like white substance on plant stems and pods, bleached stems and wilted leaves.
In this conducive environment, growers may want to consider applying a fungicide. Several fungicides are approved for preventing and managing white mold — contact your co-op at 814-793-2721 for personalized recommendations.
Other ways to reduce the impact of white mold include:
- Rotating crops. The spores that cause white mold can survive in soil for several years, so rotating crops in fields with a history of the disease can reduce future outbreaks. Other steps you can take include reducing tillage in fields that have a history of the disease in order to prevent spores from surfacing.
- Plant and row spacing. Dense canopies and tightly-spaced rows are more favorable to white mold outbreaks.

Area farmers may be concerned about the unusually high rain amounts we’ve seen this June and how this might affect corn and soybeans. Here are some issues to consider, and resources that can help. As always, call your co-op at (814) 793-2721 for personalized, expert advice on any topic related to growing corn or soybeans.
Corn: Nitrogen in nitrate form can leach from the soil into groundwater in wet conditions, which is a particular concern for corn. Although there’s no diagnostic test that can determine the exact amount of nitrogen in soil, a simple point system has been developed that can help you decide whether an additional application of nitrogen would be beneficial. Visit the C.O.R.N. (Crop Observation and Recommendation Network) newsletter from The Ohio State University for details on how to evaluate your cornfields using this system.
Soybeans: Adverse effects of too much rain on soybeans can include reduced oxygenation of the roots, resulting in poor nodulation. Plants that are completely flooded for 24-48 hours might even die if the temperature is high enough. Also, saturated soybean fields are more likely to develop diseases due to water molds, once your plants have reached the V2 growing stage. The C.O.R.N. newsletter has more on these problems.

PITTSBURGH — It’s Sunday morning and the Strip District sizzles with tourists hitting up President Obama’s favorite breakfast spot. Others duck into one of the many immigrant-owned markets along Penn Avenue or grab some Steelers merch at one of the many superfan stores. The area resembles a smaller scale version of Seattle’s Pike Place Market, mixed in with a little bit of Canal Street in New York City.
And for years, that was it. When the work week started, the neighborhood emptied out. But not anymore.
After Pittsburgh’s steel and manufacturing scenes wilted in the 1970s and 1980s, the Strip District reinvented itself as a bustling market district. But now it has also become a thriving tech center and ground zero for a nascent construction boom, with developers putting up new offices, apartments and restaurants. Neighboring Lawrenceville has evolved from an area the locals avoided to one of the hottest housing markets in town, with homes selling for five to 10 times what they might have even five years ago.
But this phenomenon has not yet extended to the entire city. Pittsburgh is a city of neighborhoods, more than 90 in total. Some are white-hot, with a dwindling supply of office space, bidding wars for houses, and new restaurants opening all the time. Others have yet to rebound from decades of neglect. And still others are grappling with the consequences of change, seeking to preserve the city as a place for longtime residents while bracing for a potential influx of newcomers.
“We’re rebuilding the city’s infrastructure at the same time that we’re trying to safeguard some neighborhoods from too much boom, and balance and incentivize investment in neighborhoods that are disinvested,” said Pittsburgh City Councilmember Deb Gross, whose district includes the neighborhoods at the center of Pittsburgh’s tech resurgence.
GeekWire has witnessed this changing landscape first-hand during our month-long stay in Pittsburgh, seeing the impact of the tech boom, getting a sense for what’s to come in this longtime industrial city, and contrasting the picture here with what we’ve seen over the past decade in our longtime home of Seattle.
Pittsburgh’s real estate numbers bear out the complicated nature of its commercial and residential markets.
- Office rents in Pittsburgh are on the rise at an average of $25.92 per square foot for top-tier, or Class A, buildings. In the most in-demand neighborhoods — close to the universities — landlords are asking for close to $40 per square foot in new buildings, according to real estate firm CBRE, an eye-opening number that comes close to Seattle’s top-end rates of about $42 per square foot for new buildings in the neighborhoods surrounding Amazon’s headquarters.
- Less than 500,000 square feet of office space is under construction in Pittsburgh as of the end of last year. But in the neighborhoods surrounding downtown, another 800,000 square feet of office space is planned. Even more square footage has come by way of bringing old buildings back to life.
- Pittsburgh still has plenty of available office space, with a vacancy rate of close to 16 percent, according to the most recent quarterly report from real estate company JLL. Much of the tech activity is focused near the universities. Those areas have a pretty low vacancy rate of about 6 percent, versus downtown, which is home to more traditional businesses and has about 15 percent vacancy. Around 10 percent vacancy is considered a healthy market, and tech hubs like San Francisco and Seattle hover around this mark. But in the hottest neighborhoods, despite ramped up construction, only about 4 percent of office space is vacant.
- Home values in Pittsburgh have risen 56 percent to $130,000 since 2011, according to Zillow, though that still remains below the national median home price. Pittsburgh is starting to get younger — CBRE reports that the population of millennials increased by close to 18 percent from 2010 to 2015, the most among smaller tech markets — and that is sure to further boost housing demands. But despite this millennial influx, Pittsburgh’s overall population has continued to decline, and the city has lost a quarter of its black population since 1980.
- Apartment rents citywide actually decreased since 2011 to an average of $1,075 a month as of last year, according to CBRE. However, apartments in popular neighborhoods near tech hubs command close to a 50 percent premium over the city average at more than $1,500 a month, according to RentCafe, and bigger two-bedroom units are starting to go for close to $2,000.
- As the tech sector gathered momentum, developers responded. According to a recent CBRE apartment report, more units have been developed in the past three years than in the previous 15 combined. Approximately 1,000 units were opened last year, and another 3,479 units are under construction now.
What’s old is new again
In Seattle, the tech boom has led to the construction of a forest of high rises to serve the growing tech giants and house the people who work for them. But Pittsburgh’s approach has been different, with many developers and companies opting to breathe new life into old buildings — even though it can sometimes be more time-consuming and expensive.
Examples are everywhere: Google’s big office in the East Liberty neighborhood is in a former Nabisco plant. Uber recently leased a big chunk of space in what used to be a steel mill. A former shopping mall is now home to data centers and co-working spaces. Multiple robotics and self-driving startups work out of an old chocolate factory.
“One of the things that is interesting about Pittsburgh is we have capacity in existing structures, and we don’t, compared to a lot of other markets, have a lot of new construction because we are able to reutilize a lot of buildings that are already downtown,” said Jason Stewart, an executive vice president at JLL’s Pittsburgh office.
That is especially true in neighborhoods like Lawrenceville, where robotics companies are setting up shop in old industrial facilities. The roots of the neighborhood’s rise date back close to 25 years, when in 1994 Carnegie Mellon established the National Robotics Engineering Center to help commercialize robotics technology.
The organization chose to set up shop in the Lawrenceville neighborhood, at the time not nearly as hot as it was today. The company spun out or supported numerous robotics companies, leading to the neighborhood’s christening as Robotics Row.
“NREC was really the seed and catalyst that started things — and very importantly at the top of the hill, Children’s Hospital. Those two growth poles have met and made Lawrenceville one of the hot neighborhoods,” said Don Smith, president of Regional Industrial Development Corp., which has redeveloped a lot of the old warehouses and mills that are now home to robotics companies.
Strip District stretches its wings
The Strip is a long, narrow area along the Allegheny River that extends from downtown Pittsburgh almost to the Lawrenceville neighborhood. The history of the neighborhood dates back to the 19th century, when it joined the city of Pittsburgh as its fifth ward. Proximity to railroads made it an ideal manufacturing hub. It was home to iron mills, glass factories, and later wholesale produce sellers. Produce terminals turned into bustling markets, and a roster of immigrant-owned restaurants and businesses popped up.
The neighborhood has always been a draw. But even a few years ago, only a couple hundred people lived there, and old industrial properties sat empty, waiting for their next phase.
Pittsburgh-based Oxford Development Co. saw serious potential in the neighborhood. The developer’s CEO, Steve Guy, said the company’s interest in the neighborhood dates back to 2011, when Pitt Ohio Trucking was getting ready to move its trucking terminal, freeing up a big chunk of land. Oxford began buying up properties around that site and eventually amassed 16 acres of land. Guy says people thought the idea was crazy, and that he should focus on the south end of the neighborhood, a much more vibrant spot at the time.
“This was completely dark,” Guy said of the area. “It was wires everywhere, dirty pitted streets. Most of the buildings were vacant and dilapidated. “People weren’t on the streets, and if you went there it was dark and dank. Not dangerous, I don’t think they ever had a crime problem there, but it was an industrial location on the decline.”
The company built the first phase of what it called Three Crossings, named for the three rivers. The project included four office buildings totaling 375,000 square feet, 300 residential units and plenty of parking. Today, about 90 percent of that is leased, and Oxford has another 14 acres where it is planning more office, residential and research and development space. And the company could boost that profile to more than 40 acres.
The big break for Oxford came in 2015, when it landed Apple as a tenant in its first Three Crossings office building. Uber was already in the vicinity, but Apple opened the floodgates. In the coming years, Oxford landed a new headquarters for Argo AI, a self-driving vehicle startup backed by a $1 billion investment from Ford, an expansion for Uber and other leases with homegrown startups like machine learning company Petuum.
“It was kind of a snowball rolling down hill, and they all liked the look and they wanted to be together,” Guy said.
The growth of companies in the Strip has increased the population of the neighborhood. The Strip and Lawrenceville have witnessed some of the strongest population growth in the city over the last eight years, and more than 500 apartments are under construction in the two neighborhoods, according to CBRE.
However, a different Pittsburgh neighborhood could see an even bigger transformation in the future, especially if a certain online retail company comes calling.
Hazelwood, on the verge of transformation
Along Pittsburgh’s Monongahela River lies a 178-acre stretch of dormant land poised for an explosive development that could transform the nearby Hazelwood neighborhood.
The land, now known as Hazelwood Green, was once a steel mill site that employed thousands before the industry collapsed. Today, it is a massive, shovel-ready brownfield awaiting a big anchor tenant to transform it into a mixed-use property with housing, offices, and public green spaces. If Amazon selects Pittsburgh for its second headquarters, many believe the company will become Hazelwood Green’s anchor tenant.
But Hazelwood Green’s planners aren’t waiting around for Amazon. The site is already home to Uber’s self-driving test track, a secretive, gated facility where the San Francisco-based company is experimenting with autonomous vehicle technology.
And a former steel mill on the Hazelwood Green property has emerged as a symbol of Pittsburgh’s transformation from industrial city to tech town. A new building will be constructed within the frame of the former Jones & Laughlin Steel Mill 19 to house tenants including the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Institute, which started inside Carnegie Mellon University before becoming an independent nonprofit.
ARM won an $80 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to use robotics to bring new efficiencies to U.S. manufacturing, aiming to revive the domestic industry and creating new jobs in partnership with manufacturing companies, governmental agencies and academic institutions.
“Robots didn’t take our manufacturing jobs away, the inability for our companies to compete did,” said Byron Clayton, who was recently named CEO of the independent nonprofit. “But robots can help bring them back. The proven ability of robots to lower costs while improving quality will help revitalize U.S. manufacturing. That means more jobs for blue and white-collar workers, particularly those interested in pursuing a career in robotics.”
The decision to put ARM at Hazelwood Green, in the former steel mill, shows that Pittsburgh “is serious about combining our robotics expertise and manufacturing legacy to re-establish global leadership in manufacturing,” Clayton said.
Hazelwood Green is owned by three Pittsburgh foundations — and managed by Rebecca Flora, the project director. Her daughter, Katrina Flora serves as the Hazelwood Green’s special projects manager. The project has more than $60 million in funding from the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, and other sources.
Still, the site needs one or more big tenants before it can reach its full potential. Rebecca Flora describes it as “a 20-year project.”
Katrina Flora said there is only so much that can be done on Hazelwood Green without more commercial tenants because of Pittsburgh’s real estate market. She contrasted the market here with those in New York and L.A., “where, if you have a nice office space, it’s probably almost always going to be in-demand,” she said. “In Pittsburgh, it’s a little slower.”
When development does pick up, it could transform the nearby Hazelwood neighborhood. The working- and middle-class neighborhood suffered from the steel mill closing. As of 2016, it had a 20 percent vacancy rate and poverty rate of around 25 percent, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. That could all change with the development of Hazelwood Green.
Hazelwood is not unlike Seattle’s South Lake Union. Once a “ghost town” of parking lots and warehouses, the Seattle neighborhood has been completely transformed by Amazon, which planted its headquarters there in 2010. Whether Amazon chooses Pittsburgh or not, Hazelwood Green is determined to attract big job creators, which could have an outsized impact on the neighborhood.
There are already hints of transformation. In January, an investor purchased 18 Hazelwood properties at a price that community leaders said was above market.
But neighborhood activists are determined to take lessons from Pittsburgh’s other booming neighborhoods, like Lawrenceville and the Strip District. A non-profit called Hazelwood Initiative buys vacant and dilapidated properties and tries to secure housing for Hazelwood residents. The organization’s executive director, Sonya Tilghman, is grateful that Hazelwood Green is owned by a consortium of foundations, rather than a private developer.
“It’s 178 acres,” she said. “No doubt it’s going to have a huge impact, but I think the foundation owners are going to be good partners in this.” However, she added, “they can’t control the market.”
If the tech giant were to choose Pittsburgh and the Hazelwood Green project, Tilghman would be concerned about Amazon’s timeline. The company wants to break ground in 2019 and she believes Hazelwood needs about five years to prepare for such an enormous development project.
“I just feel like we need a little bit more time,” she said. “I think it might be a great regional asset, probably, but I’m very concerned about the effect on this community.”
All this development has been a boon for property owners who have waited out decades of depopulation, disrepair and difficulty. But recent examples along the West Coast in places like Seattle, San Francisco and Portland have shown that the rising tide of the tech boom does not lift all boats. In fact, it can sink a lot of vessels along the way.
Affordability problems plague cities across the U.S. and are starting to creep into Pittsburgh as well. Civic leaders in Pittsburgh are already thinking about how to blunt the negative side effects of a rebound that the city has been waiting years for.
In Lawrenceville, the companies of Robotics Row have brought plenty of high-paid techies to the neighborhood, and housing prices are certainly on the rise. But the neighborhood has a very clear plan for what it wants to be. It also has a variety of neighborhood organizations to advocate for it.
Lawrenceville Corp. is a nonprofit that both develops projects and helps guide development in the neighborhood. Its mission has shifted in recent years away from encouraging development by any means necessary, to instead finding, building and promoting projects that are good for the neighborhood. Affordable residential and commercial space is an important piece of the puzzle, helping to accomplish one of its goals of keeping the neighborhood’s authenticity as more people and businesses want to be there.
The organization has created a community land trust, which involves building houses and then selling them as affordable housing to lower-income buyers. The developer stays involved, by ground-leasing the land under the house, and the owner is not allowed to turn around and sell the house to the highest bidder. So far, the land trust involves about 35 homes that would sell in today’s market for about $300,000 but are offered at around $125,000 to $150,000.
“I think we are pivoting as a region to say that development at any cost isn’t where we need to be,” said Matthew Galluzzo, Lawrenceville Corp.’s executive director. “We are a region that can set some parameters on the types of development that we want to see, that we can be a balancing force for that, which is new.”
For-profit developers have a role to play in this conversation as well. Oxford, the developer heavily involved in the Strip District, has been building in Pittsburgh for more than 50 years. Guy, the company’s CEO, says Oxford prides itself on having a “zero displacement policy,” meaning it’s not going to tear down a functional 40-unit apartment building to put up one three times bigger. Oxford also aims to reuse existing structures if they can be saved before opting for new construction.
But for as much as developers like Oxford say they want to protect existing residents and businesses, change is inevitable, especially in cities. Developers must be mindful, Guy says, of how they can build projects that minimize disruptions to others. But ultimately, Guy says it takes a community-wide effort to put protections in place for vulnerable populations as the tech boom continues to grow.
“It’s hard being in the real estate development business because when you do something right you drive value and values go up,” Guy said. “It happens especially in the urban context. But as a community, socially, we have to think about the bigger picture and we do try to do that.”
Tension around displacement is high in Pittsburgh due to historical and current disputes. Construction of the city’s Civic Arena in the 1950s effectively tore apart the Lower Hill District, displacing thousands of families and hundreds of businesses. The arena was torn down in 2012, after the current PPG Paints Arena opened nearby in 2010. The Civic Arena sites remain controversial. They are up for redevelopment, and have been mentioned as a site for Amazon should it choose Pittsburgh for HQ2.
In the East Liberty neighborhood, a plan to tear down the Penn Plaza apartments last summer for a redevelopment project anchored by Whole Foods ignited a broader debate over affordable housing. The uproar caused Whole Foods to back out of plans to build a new 50,000 square-foot store and sparked a revised agreement between the developer, the city, and neighborhood groups.
The city is trying some creative approaches. Working with the Heinz Endowments — one of the Hazelwood Green owners — the city in 2015 launched a plan called p4: People, Planet, Place, and Performance. The goal is to build a new path forward for thriving cities that are also sustainable and inclusive.
The city also recently completed a two-year affordable housing study, which estimated a shortage of 15,000 affordable units in the city. One of the first actions to come out of that is a Housing Opportunity Fund that will receive $10 million per year for the next 12 years to build affordable and maintain affordable housing.
Gross, the city councilmember who district includes Lawrenceville and the Strip, said Pittsburgh is in a unique and challenging position. How does it encourage investments in neighborhoods that desperately need it, while simultaneously working to mitigate the impact of global tech companies and investors sinking their teeth into other parts of the city? The city just two weeks ago shed its financially distressed status with the state, meaning it will have more control over its budget and more tools to figure out housing issues.
Lawrenceville Corp.’s Galluzzo notes that Pittsburgh has always been a resilient place. In recent decades, the city had been mostly forgotten by the market, and local leaders managed to figure it out.
“It’s been uneven no doubt, but I think that has helped to engender that ethos of, ‘We can do it ourselves,'” Galluzzo said.

Comparing: FCM 50 t vs. IS-6 vs. KV-5
Development was started in December 1945. The vehicle was conceived as an alternative for the AMX 50t and combined archaic features typical of the pre-war French tank-construction industry as well as German innovations. The vehicle was to be equipped with an additional container trailer, equipment for underwater driving, and a demountable mine clearer.
Plans for this vehicle were drawn up in the construction bureau of the Chelyabinsk Kirov plant from December 1943 to the summer of 1944. Further development and the construction of the first prototype took place at the Uralmash plant. However, the vehicle had no advantages over the other heavy tank designs under consideration, and its armor was seen as inferior to the IS-4 (Object 701), so the IS-6 was not selected for production.
Development began in June 1941 at the Leningrad Kirov Plant and was completed by August, but plans were interrupted due to the complicated situation on the front. The KV-5 was to utilize some components of the KV-1. A new turret was designed, incorporating the 107-mm ZIS-6 gun. Two roadwheels and a single support roller were to be added on each side. A new 1,200 h.p. diesel engine was being developed for the vehicle, however it was not completed in time and was replaced with two V-2K engines.

The adventure film is one of film history's most expansive and heterogeneous genres. At its core is the exoticist adventure tale that frequently references and romanticizes the era of colonialism, but the genre also intersects with several partially overlapping subgenres, such as the medieval knight's tale, the pirate story and the high seas adventure, tales from the Arabian Nights, the swords-and-sandals epic, the cloak-and-dagger story, and the travelogue and discovery tale. The adventure film's themes and motives are drawn from popular adventure literature that peaked between the late eighteenth and late nineteenth centuries and frequently adopted a serial mode. The writings of authors such as Alexandre Dumas, Sir Walter Scott, H. Rider Haggard, Jules Verne, and, later, Jack London, Joseph Conrad, and Rudyard Kipling paved the way for the genre's cinematic success, though the literary motif of the aventiure2 harks back to the legends of medieval knighthood. Likewise, the figure of the adventurer who sets out to distant shores to save the Holy Land, to conquer the Americas for the Spanish crown, or to liberate the Americas from the crown, who may be marooned on a distant island or become ruler of the jungle, has older roots and appears in many guises. But it was not until the nineteenth century that the specific tropes to which the genre has closely adhered — and which, it seems, still shape the stories of twentieth-century adventurers — began to crystallize. These adventurers may discover the North Pole, fight bounty hunters amidst the Pyramids or wildlife poachers in the jungle, run a plantation in colonial Indochina, fly postal planes across the Andes, or ferry passengers and cargo across treacherous South Pacific waters.

Let’s just draw a line in the sand now and boldly state that there is no “grilling season.” Spring, summer, fall (winter?) you should get out and grill any time you crave the outdoors and the delicious, smokey flavors of freshly barbecued meats and veggies.
Exploring new ways to grill your favorite dishes is part of the experience. Recently, we’ve been throwing a whole chicken on the grill and enjoying the juicy flavors alongside crispy, spicy skin. Grilling an entire chicken is easy, but there are tips and tricks to help you get the best result. Check out this basic grilled chicken recipe and our recommendations for getting it just right, then grab a bottle of American Barrel Aged Chardonnay and dinner al fresco is served!
The method for grilling a chicken is fairly simple: Light the grill (or coals), heat to approximately 400 degree F. Place the bird on the middle of the grill, skin-side up, close the lid and allow to cook for approximately 45 minutes to one hour (depending on size). Then, check the bird every 5-10 minutes until done.
As they say, the devil is in the details. Below, a few tips:
Spatchcock – This is the method of butterflying (or flattening) the chicken before grilling. If you grill the chicken whole without flattening it, you may get some uneven cooking and dry out the breast. To do this, remove the backbone and then break the breastbone by pressing down on the legs. Some supermarkets sell whole chickens already spatchcocked, and a butcher can usually do this for you.
Oil! – The secret to crispy, delicious chicken skin is oiling it well. We recommend using an oil-based marinade or brushing on a generous amount of olive oil before cooking. You can also soak a paper towel in olive oil and then, using a pair of long metal tongs, brush it directly on the almost-ready grill before adding the chicken.
Go Bold – We’ve already mentioned the chicken skin in this dish, but it really is the star of the show. Your chicken will be even more flavorful if you add bold seasonings, rubs or sauces to the skin prior to cooking. You can add a spicy dry rub after brushing olive oil onto the skin, create a marinade and add a little liquid smoke, or brush on your favorite barbecue sauce a few minutes prior to removing from the grill. The bolder the better!
Use indirect heat – Juicy chicken takes time to roast, so you don’t want it placed directly over a heat source. If you have a gas grill, turn on all burners except the one directly under the bird. On a charcoal grill, you can either use a water bath in the center and arrange coals around it (this also helps keep the bird moist) or layer more coals on one side of the grill than the other, creating a “hot” side and a “cool” side. Place the chicken breast-down on the hot side first, removing after a few minutes and then place skin-side up on the cooler side to cook through.
A meat thermometer is always a good idea so you can check doneness without over-cooking.

Watch KISS Perform In Uniondale, New YorkMarch 23, 2019
Fan-filmed video footage of KISS's March 22 concert at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York can be seen below.
In a recent interview with StarTribune, KISS frontman Paul Stanley was asked how he is taking care of his voice on the "End Of The Road" trek, in light of the fact that it has sounded diminished on many recent tours. "I try not to talk to guys like you, for one," Stanley replied. "It's hard to stay away from smoke, because the arenas are filled with it. But I do shut up as much as possible, and try other things.
"There's no denying, whether you're an athlete or singer, that life goes on, and you aren't who you once were," he continued. "That's life. I always say if you want to hear me sound like I did on 'Alive!', go listen to 'Alive!' That said, I have no problem doing what I'm doing and standing by it. The songs sound awesome."
Ever since KISS's "End Of The Road" trek launched in January, there has been persistent online chatter about Paul allegedly singing to a backing tape. The speculation stemmed from the fact that Stanley had been struggling to hit the high notes in many of the band's classic songs for a number of years.
Former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach defended KISS against claims that the band is using pre-recorded tracks during its farewell tour, saying that Stanley sang "his ass off LIVE" during a recent concert in California. "I have seen way more obvious use of backing tracks than with KISS," Sebastian wrote.
Bach's comments came just hours after MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx called out another band for using taped vocals during its live performances after it previously derided other groups for doing the same thing.
Sixx wrote on Twitter: "Certain band out on the road right now putting other bands DOWN and saying that they are a REAL rock band, no background singers,and other old people cranky comments except his lead vocals are on tape.People in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks. #GetOffMyLawn #WizardOfOz"
Most fans assumed that Sixx was referring to KISS, especially since KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons has previously slammed bands who used backing tapes for not being honest enough to include that fact on their concert tickets.
After KISS played on NBC's "America's Got Talent" last September, Stanley was asked by Rolling Stone if that was actually a live performance or if he and his bandmates tracked it earlier. "What you tend to do is record it live and that way you know that everything is as it should be," he responded. "It's not like going into the studio or anything like that. It's… with all its imperfections, it's live."
