Matthews Studio Equipment has just launched one of those potential time-saving lifeline pieces of equipment, its new Gatorbuddy.Gatorbuddy was conceived by working photographer Carlo Hindian when he needed a better way to handle gatorboard, which is, of course, a mainstay on still photo and video sets. After testing in real-world scenarios by videographers and photographers, who all saw its various benefits, Hindian partnered with Matthews Studio Equipment to manufacture and market the Gatorbuddy.
The design features a sturdy wheeled base with a low center of gravity for maximum stability. Eight inserts offer positioning of the three screw-in aluminum Baby Risers while a slider knob accommodates width and angle adjustment of various size panels. Additionally, it is easy to add a Junior Wall Plate for supporting a C+ Riser or a V-Flat holder that easily modifies for varying angles.
It is compatible with professional grip equipment thanks to 5/8" Baby Pins on each aluminum Baby Riser along with multiple tapped 3/8"-16 receivers. So it is easy to add baby pins, clamps, grip heads, and more. Finished in matte black, the system measures 39" x 18" x .82" / 99 x 45.7 x 2.1 cm and weighs 26.4 lbs./ 12 kg. It supports loads up to 50 lbs./22.6 kg.
Featuring a steel base and four Tente caster wheels, it can glide around the studio, then easily lock safely in place to facilitate lighting adjustments. It can also work as a dolly to help move panels and V-Flats smoothly in and out to swap backgrounds. Plus, it can help create instant walls and dividers or easily be equipped with a laptop or monitor for use as a work/media station.
Pricing is approx $1100.

If you’ve ever wondered where goddess/music industry maven Beyoncé got her moves, we officially have your answer. In an Instagram video posted on July 10th, Bey’s mom Tina Knowles showed off her sweet moves during a dance-off with granddaughter Blue Ivy. Obviously fierceness runs strong in the Knowles family.
While vacationing in the South of France with Bey, Blue Ivy, and the rest of the Carter family, Knowles went head-to-head with her eldest granddaughter, according to her Instagram post. They challenged each other to make up a dance move while shaking their groove thang to none other than “APES**T,” Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s latest single.
“This is my dance off with Blue,” Knowles captioned her post. “She beat me of course ! We had to make up an original dance move . My awkward shoulder move was my made up dance 🔥i know it’s wrong but my competition is only 6. She killed it though!!! ❤ #aboutthatcaftanlife.”
Miss Tina, you killed it!
Unfortunately, Blue’s moves weren’t posted, but we have a strong suspicion she also slayed.
It seems like the family is having a pretty epic time while on vacay. Before taking to the “dance floor,” Grandma Knowles also posted a hilariously cringe-worthy joke.
“Hello. I’m in the South of France and it’s corny joke time,” Knowles began. (Can “corny joke time” be a weekly Tina Knowles Instagram installment?)
Our favorite part is hands-down someone (Beyoncé, maybe?) yelling “Oh no, god!” in the background.
Keep the silliness coming, Tina. We’re living vicariously through you.

Brentford drift even further away from heart's desire as Cardiff City become latest to frustrate
Brentford (0) 1 Fosu 63
Cardiff City (0) 1 Moore pen 57
Brentford were held to a sixth draw in seven matches to virtually extinguish their hopes of automatic promotion.
With second-placed Watford winning at an already-promoted Norwich, the gap is now surely an unbridgeable 10 points, with four to play – even if the Hornets still have to visit west London.
The Bees fought back impressively after falling behind to a Kieffer Moore penalty for Cardiff early in the second half, levelling through Tariqe Fosu and should have gone on to win it.
They certainly made enough clear-cut chances to have ended the harmful glut of draws which have surely condemned them to another play-off campaign which they had hoped to avoid for all the right reasons.
But the Bluebirds were obstinate opponents and joined the list of clubs who have thwarted the Bees in recent weeks, just when the promotion-chasers could least afford it.
There were three big chances in the first half, with Marcus Forss spurning a couple of the gilt-edged variety.
He was perfectly placed to profit from a pull-back from Mads Roerslev – thanks to a near-post dummy from Ivan Toney – but his first-time shot was too close to keeper Alex Smithies.
Then there was another big opportunity when Fosu’s hanging ball to the far post was nodded back by a leaping Toney towards the unmarked Forss, but the striker skied from three yards – not managing to twist his body enough to get over the ball sufficiently to execute a more relaxed finish.
Toney, who kicked the advertising boards in frustration, had a great chance himself to break the deadlock when Marlon Pack’s backpass fell invitingly into his orbit, but Smithies dashed out, made himself big and got an arm to deflect the effort wide.
Cardiff were organised and robust in the mould of boss Mick McCarthy and looked capable of causing problems with quick balls launched forward and at set pieces.
Joe Ralls scampered onto a long ball and fired a left footer from outside the box that David Raya had no trouble saving. Harry Wilson’s dancing feet pierced the Bees rearguard and Aden Flint almost took advantage – the big defender stymied by an offside flag.
And just before the hour came the body blow of the penalty concession. A free-kick in from the right from Will Vaulks was met by the diving head of Curtis Nelson and ref Darren England spotted Ethan Pinnock’s arm brushing the ball off target.
Moore confidently tucked home to the keeper’s left – Raya diving in the opposite direction.
Just six minutes later and the Bees were back on level terms when Fosu’s speculative effort from 25 yards deceived Smithies, who saw the ball fly off his gloves and into the net. The shot was dipping and swerving but should have been stopped with comfort.
It was only Fosu’s fourth of the season for the Bees and his first since the rout of Wycombe in January.
Sergi Canos was introduced – the man whose hat-trick won the game for Brentford when the sides met in South Wales – while an out-of-sorts Bryan Mbeumo was withdrawn.
Canos almost beat Smithies with another swerver the keeper saw late and Thomas Frank’s men suddenly looked more purposefully. Toney was soon firing another effort that Forss almost bundled in.
But this was destined to be another night of what might have beens for the frustrated Bees.
Bees: David Raya – Jansson, Norgaard, Pinnock – Roerslev (Canos 58), Janelt (Ghoddos 58), Jensen, Mbeumo (Marcondes 68) – Fosu (Goode 90) – Forss, Toney. Subs not used: Daniels, Bech Sorensen, Stevens, Gordon, Bidstrup

The World Health Organization listed “vaccine hesitancy” as one of 10 threats to global health in 2019. The disappearance of vaccine-preventable childhood infections from our everyday lives, coupled with disinformation campaigns on online platforms, in books and documentaries, have resulted in a significant percentage of our population that is reluctant to vaccinate their children. When I recently made a video on the topic, I was disheartened to find out that interventions aimed at increasing trust in vaccines either did not work or backfired, making parents even more reluctant. What did give me hope was a project called Boost Oregon, which emphasized active listening free of judgment.
I was thus delighted when a fellow science communicator recently told me that a similar project had been tested and implemented in parts of the Quebec healthcare system. It’s called EMMIE and I decided to look into it.
From substance use disorders to vaccine hesitancy
EMMIE is a French acronym for what I would translate as “Motivational Interview in Maternity for the Immunization of Children” (which, interestingly enough, spells out MIMIC). How it unfolds is simple. The day after giving birth in a hospital maternity ward, a mother is approached by a trained immunization advisor, who spends 20 minutes with her conducting a motivational interview on the topic of vaccines. This type of approach was initially created to help people overcome an addiction to a substance. It’s a type of dialogue that emphasizes empathy, respect for a person’s autonomy, and does away with argumentation. The immunization advisor uses open-ended questions, affirmative statements, reflective listening, and careful summarization to help the new mother deal with any vaccine resistance she may have and feel empowered to immunize her child. In a nutshell, it is the exact opposite of posting online memes calling parents who don’t vaccinate “dangerous idiots”.
This program is now being implemented in 15 hospitals in Quebec which together see over half of all births in the province. While this sounded great to my ears, the question I asked myself was, “Does it work?” Fortunately, we have data.
A step forward
A study called PromoVac tested this intervention in the Estrie region of Quebec with nearly 2,400 families which were split into two groups: roughly half took part in the motivational interview, while the rest were used as a control group. The interview resulted in a 15% increase in the intention to vaccinate. This intent did not fully translate to complete immunization, however. The children in the motivational interview group had a 9% increased chance of having received all their vaccines between 0 and 2 years of age compared to those in the control group. So a significant increase, but by no means a complete solution to the problem.
Percentage of children with a complete vaccine status during infancy (from Lemaître 2019)
A province-wide clinical trial called PromoVaQ, meanwhile, has just wrapped up and should yield even more reliable results.
The situation is grim. Complete vaccination coverage in Quebec as of 2014 was 71%, a far cry from the 95% target.
While the motivational interview does not look like the miracle solution we so desperately need, it is moving the needle in the right direction and leads to satisfied moms. (97% of the mothers who participated in PromoVac said they would recommend this strategy to other families.) And it’s a much-needed addition to a tool kit that, up until now, has been filled with paper hammers.
In-person motivational interviews, combined with the recent crackdown on antivaccine propaganda by major online platforms, may give us a chance against the diseases that simply don’t deserve to be in our daily headlines.
- A new intervention is being implemented in Quebec maternity wards to help parents who hesitate to vaccinate their children
- The intervention relies on open questions and empathy instead of shaming and argumentation
- The first major study on this intervention in Quebec resulted in a small but significant increase in childhood vaccinations

Openings for land venture for outsiders is wide and fluctuated in the United States. It doesn’t make any difference where you’re from and what money you’d use to buy a property, you have a property hanging tight for you.
There are for the most part three sorts of land venture accessible to outsiders. These speculations incorporate the business bequest venture and private property speculation. Private properties are additionally grouped into single family properties, lofts or townhouses and sporting properties. Despite what sort of land you are keen on, there are a wide range of duty repercussions, financing alternatives and lawful prerequisites that you need to manage.
For what reason Should You Invest in the U.S. Housing Market?
You’ve likely known about the expanding number of unfamiliar land interests in the United States. This isn’t unexpected. With the difficulties that the land venture market is looking in the United States, more prominent freedoms in land speculation were opened to unfamiliar financial backers.
With the dollar’s worth in its record-breaking low, unfamiliar financial backers are discovering land deals everywhere on the United States. There are no deficiencies of arrangements in this market. An ever increasing number of bothered properties are being sold all over and outsiders are pouring in millions purchasing these abandoned or troubled properties. The United States Foreign policy has become a genuinely alluring long haul speculation for unfamiliar financial backers.
In November of 2006, the National Association of Realtors delivered a report named “Unfamiliar Investments in U.S Real Estate: Current Trends and Historical Perspective”. The report showed that there has been a consistent expansion in unfamiliar land interest in the United States. This is particularly after the euro and the loonie got more grounded despite the constant depreciation of the US dollar. Prime deals were opened to outsiders. Numerous outsiders have now investigated the chance of resigning or getting comfortable the United States.
In case you’re an outsider, you would discover a ton of reasons why you ought to put resources into the United States housing market. Beside the way that the skimming conversion scale has given you a great deal of influence over the haggling table, the monetary market is a very valid justification why you ought to put resources into the US land.
The monetary market in the United States corresponding to the housing market is very liberal and the limitations against unfamiliar financial backers are quite sensible. This is ideal for unfamiliar organizations that are trying to put resources into the housing market in the United States to stay away from levy limitations and are thinking about setting up an office or an organization in the United States.
Moreover, regardless of the depreciation of the US dollar and the wide dispossessions of a great deal of property, the housing market stays to be steady, however somewhat temperamental, because of unfamiliar financial backers’ capital appreciation. Homegrown land purchasers may not really share a similar assessment, however the market has stayed to be solid for unfamiliar land purchasers. This might be generally credited to the way that there is insignificant danger for them.
For what reason are Foreign Real Estate Investments Safe and Profitable?
There are a great deal of speculations you can make, however the most secure you can make right currently is putting your cash in genuine properties. This is another valid justification beside the way that you can make a really clever benefit, on the off chance that you like, especially now with the far reaching property dispossessions and apparently ceaseless US dollar downgrading. This is particularly evident on the off chance that you will utilize the euro or the loonie when making your venture.
Yet, for what reason would us s uays is land venture ok for outsiders?
It is certain that corporate securities are not a protected road now. The downturn has not just influenced the US economy; a similar downturn has enormously influenced overall corporate securities. Stocks esteems are dropping. It is additionally a reality that even without the current monetary circumstance, stock qualities vacillates.
Then again, land ventures are really steady on the off chance that you would contrast it with corporate shares – or even security or common asset speculations. With land speculation, you’d put your cash in a venture that would fill in esteem as years pass by.
What are the Benefits of Foreign Real Estate Investment?
US state government upholds unfamiliar speculations and along this line has defined different tax cuts to empower unfamiliar venture on land. Large numbers of these tax cuts are not accessible in numerous nations. Truth be told, most nations would glare at outsiders claiming genuine properties inside their domain.
Unfamiliar land interest in the United States is available to everybody. However long you can bear to purchase the property or if nothing else agree with the home loan prerequisites and installments, you can get for yourself a very decent property in the United States. Once more, with the current financial circumstance of the United States, this is the ideal possibility for you to make a speculation.
Another extraordinary advantage that you can exploit is the accessibility of home loan financing. Banks have made their ways for unfamiliar financial backers who are investigating buying a property. In this way, you don’t need to really exhaust your ledger. You can really get a home loan credit and steadily take care of it.
I’m Canadian, What Are My Financing Options?
There is a consistent expanding pace of Canadian land financial backers in the United States; and in like manner, the public authority has verified that they have alluring financing choices accessible to them.
In case you’re Canadian – or in case you’re an outsider – you’d discover a great deal of reasons why you should purchase a piece of genuine property in the United States. For Canadians, the equality of the monetary forms or the obvious degrading of the US dollar is a very valid justification itself. Yet, how would you back your buy?
There are different financing choices accessible to you contingent upon which state you are in. In Arizona, for example, you’d get positive financing terms on the off chance that you are buying a property for sporting purposes, that is, you don’t determine any pay or advantage from your buy or possession. You will be required, nonetheless, to join a revelation arrangement and give a 30% initial installment for your advance. To qualify however for an advance, you might be needed to show accessibility of fluid stores for a time of three to a half year. You may likewise be needed to introduce at least 3-month bank proclamation.
In the event that you are buying a property for speculation, you’d presumably meet stricter terms. Necessities might be more rigid. For example, you could be needed to give an initial installment of over 30% and you might be needed to show one year worth of liquidity saves.
Notwithstanding your reasons, in the event that you have a feeling that you can satisfy the prerequisites of a financing advance, you would then be able to continue to really applying for a home loan advance. Additionally, keeping yourself refreshed with the financing terms transition might be a savvy thought.
Understanding the Tax Ramifications of Real Estate Investment
The principal outsider to have at any point purchased a land property in the United States was Peter Minuit. This made the ways for unfamiliar land financial backers. Following years and years after the fact, unfamiliar land venture has developed into colossal extents, representing billion-of-dollar worth of industry.
The okay appended to US housing market, the accessibility of endless properties, and the consistent market liquidity draw in unfamiliar financial backers by the thousand. The underlying obstacle, notwithstanding, is the way toward understanding the legitimate consequences of unfamiliar land venture.
What you need to comprehend is that unfamiliar interest in the United States can take a ton of structures. An outsider has different choices. He can obtain direct interest. He can get an interest in the land through an organization, an enterprise, or a restricted obligation organization. The last is the common construction utilized by unfamiliar financial backers.
Restricted association or Limited Liability Company offers monetary security or roundabout resource assurance, particularly in instances of chapter 11, claims and charges. Unfamiliar financial backers are for the most part burdened on the property as though they hold the property in direct interest.
In a perfect world, you should tie down the administrations of a land bookkeeper to help you out with the assessment repercussions, however it might be ideal on the off chance that you, at any rate, know the essentials before you really converse with a bookkeeper.
There are charge results that you need to manage when you purchase a land in the United States. You would require an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number which you will use with all your assessment exchanges. Your interest in genuine bequests can be treated as a portfolio speculation and will be represented as a venture pay which can either be fixed or an occasional pay. This is normally charged at 30% on net incomes. This expense however doesn’t make a difference however to every single unfamiliar financial backer. Expense rates would shift contingent upon the assessment character the unfamiliar financial backer decided on. For example, a partnership would be burdened in an unexpected way.
Different things that you should observe are accessibility and necessities of expense discounts and state charge laws on land properties as they may contrast from government laws, in addition to other things.
By knowing every one of these things, you may save yourself from a ton of issues when you at last methodology a land bookkeeper. You’d be in same frequency when you at long last get down to talking business. It is, nonetheless, vital that you secure the administrations of a bookkeeper. You’d make some simpler memories managing the assessments implications. You’d likewise have help guaranteeing that you conform to all the bookkeeping part of your venture. This is particularly obvious on the off chance that you are buying a genuine property for speculation purposes.

Our challenges can seem overwhelming sometimes. Heather Steel, a vegan from Calgary, Alberta, notes that the little things make a day sweet.
“Of course, we are vegan because of our beliefs about animals”, Heather writes.
“But then there are these little side benefits which come out of it. Like an acquaintance who lives in a rural area was telling me last winter how glad he is to be vegan when we get snowed in, and the neighbours start panicking about running out of milk and meat, but he just goes and cooks some beans, makes some soymilk and tofu, bakes some bread etc.”
For nearly five years, until December 2019, I worked in a grocery store. People practically stampede over themselves to clear out every last carton of milk and eggs when they hear a storm forecast. Some are outraged when all these sad items are gone.
And I’d be saying: “Why don’t you bring home some delicious lentil soup? In fact, why don’t you bring home lentils? You can make tacos, or soup, or a delicious salad…” I was glad when some of these people would look at me like they’ve never considered a lentil before, but maybe this was the time.
Well, what are the little things to love about being vegan other than not getting into a milk and eggs frenzy before a storm?
Violife. Violife cheeses are so good. Miyoko’s and other vegan cheeses are now models for store-label plant-based cheeses. Stores that used to shun us are now trying to compete with us. But the point is, mm. These cheeses really are luxurious.
Back when I first became a vegan, in the last century,😂 there were none of the “vegan foods” we look for in grocery stores now. No non-animal cheeses or deli meats. No nut milks. There was stuff in a box you could mix and form sausages out of (called “Sosmix”)… dreadful stuff, but we’d eat it. And was anyone else here vegan back in the days of “Soymage”? I thought someone from animal ag was deliberately sabotaging our cause with that product!
Well, that was part of going vegan then. You had to make a serious dietary shift and a lot of people looked at it as deprivation. But I very quickly discovered Hindu food. I learned how to shop for it, and how to cook it. And it was very good.
Would I have sought out that experience if I weren’t a vegan? Probably not.
These days, vegans are whipping up aquafaba meringue, and fermenting their own cheeses. I find vegans really enjoy learning about and experimenting with a wide variety of culinary techniques. They are inventive, skilled, and generous with what they create.
Another great thing? Because vegans all share the same dietary perspective but have different tastes and interests, it can be fun getting together with other vegans and trying out something they like. I’ve enjoyed sitting around a table into the wee hours playing board games with my vegan friends. One even designed a game around a rescue theme, and made sure to include foxes on the landscape. ♡
I also treasure the moment an animal in nature spots me. It’s a spark that connects a human soul to the whole universe. It’s the beauty in finding an animal free – and knowing we wouldn’t have things any other way.

Hey – don’t dis Sosmix! I used to love Sosmix, I really miss it 🙂
OK, I’ll just stick to dissing Soymage. I’ll concede that the thought of Sosmix has some nostalgic value 🙂
Agreed 😀 I’ve never tried Soymage. What is it?
Soymage was supposedly vegan cheese. A better name for it would have been Soybotage.

What is meant by modular multilevel converter?
A modular multilevel converter (MMC) is an advanced voltage source converter applicable to a wide range of medium and high-voltage applications. It has competitive advantages such as quality output performance, high modularity, simple scalability, and low voltage and current rating demand for the power switches.
Which are the types of multilevel inverter?
Multilevel Inverter topologies such as diode-clamped, flying- capacitor, cascaded H-bridge, hybrid H-bridge, new hybrid H-bridge and new cascaded multilevel inverter have been discussed in the literature. In this work a new idea is developed to increase the level with less number of switches.
What is MMC in power electronics?
The Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) represents an emerging topology with a scalable technology making high voltage and power capability possible. The MMC is built up by identical, but individually controllable submodules.
What is two level inverter?
In 2-level inverter output voltage waveform is produced by using PWM with two voltage levels. This causes the output voltage and current to be distorted and the THD of the voltage is poor (Figure 4, left). In 3-level inverter output voltage and current is much more sinusoidal and the THD is better (Figure 4, right).
What is the basic concept of multilevel converter?
A multi-level converter (MLC) is a method of generating high-voltage wave-forms from lower-voltage components. MLC origins go back over a hundred years, when in the 1880s, the advantages of DC long-distance transmission became evident. Modular multi-level converters (MMC) were investigated by Tricoli et al in 2017.
What are the advantages of multilevel inverters?
The multilevel inverters produce common mode voltage and it reducing the stress of the motor and the motor will not get damage. Multilevel inverters can draw input current with low distortion.
Why do we need multilevel inverter?
The need of multilevel converter is to give a high output power from medium voltage source. The multi level inverter consists of several switches. Higher voltage can be generated using the devices of lower rating. Increased number of voltage levels produces better voltage waveform.
What is use of multilevel inverter?
Multilevel inverters nowadays are used for medium voltage and high power applications. The different field of applications include its use as UPS, High voltage DC transmission, Variable Frequency Drives, in pumps, conveyors etc.
How does a 3-level inverter work?
A three-level inverter features an IGBT with a lower reverse-blocking voltage: 600 V instead of 1,200 V. The 600-V chips are normally faster and thinner than 1,200-V chips. The silicon in a three-level inverter therefore has lower switching losses and a lower forward-voltage drop.
What is the Modular Multilevel Converter?
12. • The Modular Multilevel converter (MMC) was first proposed in 2003 by Marquardt and Lesnicar. Features • Strictly scalable (modular) construction • No need for passive filters at AC-side and DC-side • Low di/dt of arms currents (Low EMI and acoustic noise) • No need for transformers (2terminal SM) • Low pulse frequency (fP=3f1) sufficient.
What is amplitude modulation index in inverter?
In multilevel inverters, the amplitude modulation index (Ma) is the ratio of reference amplitude (Ar) to carrier amplitude (Ac). 22. Phase Disposition • In phase disposition method all the carriers have the same frequency and amplitude.
What is a power electronic converter?
• A power electronic converter uses power electronic components such as SCRs, TRIACs, IGBTs, etc. to control and convert the electric power. The main aim of the converter is to produce conditioning power with respect to a certain application. 2. • Converter changes one form of electrical energy to other form of electrical energy 3.
What are the MMC topologies supported by Simulink?
Evaluation of interactions between the MMC system and large-scale power systems. MMC options support three submodule (SM) topologies: half-bridge, full-bridge and double-clamped. The FPGA MMC Models design in Simulink can be edited by users with RT-XSG.

For many New Yorkers, the gathering might have registered as a sort of medley of Midtown misery.
Visitors to the city — trusted, on most days, to sort themselves evenly across the neighborhood — flocked to a particular perch on West 34th Street, clogging precious sidewalk space on Tuesday.
A central tenet of urban identity, indifference to the famous, came under siege with each arriving local. (And there were more than a few.)
And the signature form of Herald Square hucksterism — selling passers-by tickets to the top of the Empire State Building — took a turn for the topical.
“The prince is here!” a vendor told the pedestrians. “You want to go up?”
On the last of their three days here, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge entered the landmark appreciation leg of the journey. They spent much of the morning at the National September 11 Memorial and its museum, attended a dinner at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and, in between, the duke stole away for a stop at the Empire State Building with Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Despite their tourist status, Prince William and Catherine, the former Kate Middleton, were afforded uncommon respect from some residents. Crowds continued to track their every twitch. Audible profanity was minimal along the corridors where their impending arrivals jeopardized traffic. Workers assembled at windows across 34th Street to absorb the elegant choreography of the royal motorcade.
“You need to understand that we are not the most innocent city,” Mr. de Blasio told his guest at the Empire State Building. “We are known as a somewhat jaded city.”
But the duke and duchess, he said, had won its residents over.
Lea Johnson, 25, who works across the street from the Empire State Building, stood behind police barricades to snap a photograph of the duke. She found comfort, she said, in the company of others who reveled in the trappings of monarchy.
“I saw his bald head,” she said gleefully, breaking away from the pack after the duke had gone inside. “I got many blurry pictures of his bald head.”
Lindsey Morgan, 32, vacationing from Columbus, Ga., said she heard of the duke’s proximity while shopping at Macy’s. Her children look up to the duchess, she noted, but Prince William would do.
“It’s just exciting that people from other countries want to come here,” she said, clutching her phone.
“To New York,” she added.
The crowd grew again an hour later, around 4 p.m., when the duke was expected to leave the building. Anticipation swelled with each quiver of the building’s doors, though poor visibility in the back spawned a measure of misinformation.
Did they come out?
Was that them?
“It’s Kate!” a woman shouted from the scrum. It was not.
Still, some appeared immune to the duke’s charms. “Find somewhere else to go,” a worker sweeping the sidewalk grumbled beside the throng.
Jay Patel, 56, who operates a newsstand several feet from the entrance the duke used, peeked out of his kiosk to appraise a fuss of unknown origin.
“Maybe some politician,” he said.
Besnik Dodaj, 26, an accounting student at Baruch College, brushed past the barricades without regret.
“Not that important,” he said. “We see them in magazines.”
Moments later, a boy, perhaps 8, pleaded with his father to stay behind for a look at the duke. No, the man, said. It could take a while.
The duke and duchess had begun their day at the site of the 2001 terrorist attacks, pausing before the reflecting pools and taking in the faces of the fallen inside.
The two toured the “In Memoriam” exhibit, which includes profiles of the victims, and viewed wreckage of the north tower antenna, a motor from a World Trade Center elevator and a mangled fire truck from Ladder Company 3.
At the edge of the south reflecting pool, across a section dedicated to victims on United Airlines Flight 93, the visitors left a bouquet of flowers and a note.
“In sorrowful memory of those who died on 11th September,” it read, “and in admiration of the courage shown to rebuild.”
It was signed, “William and Catherine.”

Mass. Residents Overwhelmingly Support Bottle Bill Update
A recently conducted poll shows that a vast majority of the public supports pending legislation to update the state's Bottle Bill, the 5 cent deposit on some beverage containers which has been in effect since 1983. According to a poll conducted in January by Mass Inc., 77% of the public wants to see additional containers - like water bottles, sports drinks, iced teas, and the like - include the 5 cent deposit which increases recycling and reduces litter of these containers.
"This poll provides the science to what we've known from our experience all along, that the Bottle Bill is popular, that we need to pass the law to update it, and it will result in a win/win/win for Massachusetts - cleaning up litter, increasing recycling and saving cities and towns money from disposal costs," declared Representative Alice Wolf, who, along with Senator Cynthia Creem, has championed the bill in the Legislature. "It's been clear to me for ages that my district wholeheartedly supports the bill," Senator Creem, who represents Newton and Brookline, noted.
Support for the Bottle Bill update crosses gender, party, and geographic lines according to the Mass Inc. poll of 400 people. "There's simply no reason to delay this bill any longer," exhorted Janet Domenitz, the Executive Director of MASSPIRG, which pushed for the original Bottle Bill and has been campaigning for its update. "What better New Year's Resolution for the Legislature than to pass this and get it to the Governor's desk now? Governor Patrick is eager to sign this measure into law."
The bill to update the current law has been pending in the Legislation for over a decade. Supporters represent a broad range: the Environmental League of Mass., the Sierra Club, Mass Audubon Society, the Charles River Conservancy, as well as the League of Women Voters, the Mass Municipal Association, the Mass Redemption Coalition, and the Surfrider Foundation. Mayor Tom Menino and Governor Deval Patrick have been ardent supporters, and Congressman Ed Markey has filed a Bottle Bill in Congress. "ELM is committed to successfully updating the Bottle Bill, and it's nice to know that not only environmentalists but the public in general is fully behind this important bill" said Ken Pruitt, ELM's Managing Director.
The margin of sampling error is +/- 4.9 percent with a 95 percent level of confidence.

The Viennese Ketubah
The Jews flourished in Vienna during the height of the Austro-Hungarian empire — despite a history of Jewry in Vienna that is filled with high highs, and low lows — and still today, the Jews of Viennese descent tend to retain one of the strongest connection to the country, as compared to most other Jewish emigrant groups.The Jewish culture of Vienna was famously intellectual — birthplace of Wittgenstein, Popper, and endless Jewish-Viennese intellectuals — the Ketubot of Vienna reflected that tradition. Unlike the Sephardi ketubot, which were decorated with flair, the Viennese Ketubot tended to be viewed as Legal Contracts. Thus, they were, aristically, among the most reserved and conservative ketubot. Yet they do retain a very distinctive style, often framed, in the art, by the seven species and Jewish symbols such as the Magen David. But the framing is always simple, and with minimal colors; an understated elegance.See This Ketubah
The Russian Ketubah
The Jews of Russia and the Pale of Settlement have historically had a distinctive style of Ketubah. Not nearly as ornamental as the Sephardi Ketubot, these Ashkenazi Ketubot were usually simpler and often very humble. The best of them include slight and subtle flair and deep red colors.
The Russian Ketubah is perfect for the Jewish couple who wants a Ketubah in the traditional style of our ancestors in Eastern Europe, honoring and remembering their lives and traditions.See This Ketubah
The Konkan India Ketubah
The ‘Bene Israel’ Jews have been living in India for centuries, since long before the Expulsion from Spain. Indeed, many of the prominent families of Indian history, such as the Sassoons, were Jewish.
The Bene Israel lived primarily around the Konkan area but since migrated around India and today, largely to Israel. The Konkan Ketubah is a magnificent ketubah, in the traditional Bene Israel Ketubah style, including the classic representation of birds in the Ketubah.See This Ketubah
The Ljubljana Ketubah
The Jews of Slovenia have the unique honor of being at the crossroads between the ancient Jews and the medieval then modern Jews. Jews lived in Slovenia in ancient Roman times, and then, in the 6th century of the common era, Jews starting moving to Ljubljana and then Piran and the surrounding towns, where they were the region’s money-lenders. Over time, many of the Jews went on to Poland, Germany and the heart of Europe, but a small community has constantly remained in Ljubljana and Slovenia.See This Ketubah
The ancient Ketubot of Ljubljana often included lions, stars, and an ornamental border. The Ljubljana Ketubah is perfect for the couple whose family lives on the crossroads between the old and the new, between the traditional and the modern, between Israel and Europe.

CCC Intelligent Solutions Inc. (CCC) and Verisk Analytics, Inc. (Verisk) announced today a strategic partnership to leverage the two providers’ market-leading technologies to bring new innovations to P&C insurance claims. CCC is a leading cloud platform for the P&C insurance economy and Verisk is a leading global data analytics and technology provider.
The first project announced through the partnership is the planned integration of anti-fraud analytics from Verisk’s claims fraud detection solution with CCC’s claims platform. This integration will help P&C insurers fight the rising threat of fraud in auto physical damage (APD) claims. When fully integrated, insurers will be able to quickly and easily identify potential fraud in real-time within existing CCC-powered workflows.
“Working with Verisk we can leverage the strengths of both companies to create new opportunities for our shared customers,” said Marc Fredman, chief strategy officer at CCC. “Mitigating fraud is a priority for insurers. By bringing the right data elements to adjusters’ fingertips, we can help them reduce fraud risk.”
The Coalition Against Insurance Fraud estimated the cost of insurance fraud in America at more than $308 billion per year. According to the FBI, fraud costs the average family between $400 and $700 a year in premiums. With the increasing adoption of technology and the emergence of new capabilities like generative AI, the threat of fraud is expected to increase.
“With macro-economic pressures like inflation and supply chain constraints, coupled with increasing criminal sophistication, it’s become necessary for insurers to quickly and accurately detect and defend against fraudulent claims,” said Shane Riedman, general manager of anti-fraud solutions at Verisk. “Verisk’s work with CCC will enable insurers to leverage robust analytics and powerful technology to not only reduce fraud loss but also accelerate the resolution of meritorious claims, thus providing better, faster service to policyholders.”
This partnership builds upon an existing integration between the two companies. Auto insurers can currently use CCC’s platform to access insights from Verisk’s Liability Navigator to help assess damages in bodily injury claims.
CCC Intelligent Solutions Inc., (NASDAQ: CCCS), is a leading SaaS platform for the multi-trillion-dollar P&C insurance economy powering operations for insurers, repairers, automakers, part suppliers, lenders, and more.

I am Julie Powell-Booth and have set up The Herbal Garden at my two acre property in Selwyn District, rural outskirts, just south west of Christchurch. There are different gardens within the property which have evolved over time and continue to evolve, as every garden does. The initial requirement was to produce spray free/organic fruit and vegetables for the family, then came the culinary herb garden and then the medicinal herb garden. I also love flowers so a flower garden had to be put in so I had a place for my heritage roses and my take on an 'English Country Garden'. The position of these gardens are positioned in the tradition of permaculture, whereby you have what you use the most closest to you, so all in easy access of the kitchen.
At the front of the property is a more 'park like' setting, with various species of large trees, beech, oak, ribbon wood, acers etc. We have a central pond and a smaller top pond, linked by a small stream, which has and brings in much wild life. The latest garden in progress is an English Stumpery.
All the gardens are built on organic/permaculture bases, all natural without any chemical additives, somewhere we can develop a sustainable and natural wellbeing life for ourselves and develop sustainable ecological life within the garden. So this means that everything in the garden stays in the garden; trees, bushes, branches are all cut and put through the chipper and used as mulch, all garden waste, weeds etc, are composted along with house food waste. We have chickens who not only give us eggs but help compost the weeds and grass I don't want to go into the garden compost as they take longer to break down but still after a couple of years produce amazing composted soil to go back into the garden.
My interest for growing started at an early age. I grew up in Surrey in the UK as part of an extended family with her great grandmother introducing me to growing vegetables. I remember as a little person sitting between rows of peas and picking the pods off and eating them, they seemed so sweet and delicious! Years later my own children were found doing exactly the same.
I trained as a Cordon Bleu Cook in the UK and owned my own restaurant as well as working all over the UK and Europe for private clients which was wonderful experience and gave me the opportunity to experience many natural products being produced in Europe and met with some very interesting people who introduced me to the abilities of herbs as remedies and medicines.
In 1999 I moved to New Zealand with my Kiwi husband and young children and started on a new chapter of our life!
I went back to my catering roots offering catering services and also working as a part time teacher, teaching primary students cooking. Then as my children grew up I was able to take on more work and having previous experience in the event management and sponsorship sector, I worked for corporate and not for profit businesses, which I thoroughly enjoyed, until in 2016 I became a Christchurch statistic in the 'restructuring' of a company and a job I loved.
The stress of being an employee casualty caused various health issues and once it was over gave me the impetus to look at my own 'well being' and take stock of my life and made significant changes. I needed life to be about me and my family not some else business or organisation. I enrolled and studied organics at Lincoln University which has given me greater academic knowledge to my practical experience and went on to complete the Herbal apprenticeship with Valmai Becker of Phytofarm learning about herbs and natural medicine.
A few years on and I now have The Herbal Garden which encompasses selling seeds and herbs/plants, herbal teas/tisanes, a small line of natural herbal skin products for ideal for gardeners but suitable for everyone and offer also offer workshops, talks and courses covering 'health, well being', growing herbs and plants and much more.

Normally the bonus disc is just a rightly discarded b-side, some rough demos and maybe a cover. Where is it worth having?
Posting this thread cause I picked up the magnolia electric co. Vinyl, and the demo versions (especially just be simple) are properly good, as is The Big Game is Every Night
All the non album singles on the 70s/80s Fall reissues
For me it’s just the ones where there was a ton of material for the album , so lots of extra songs. Not a fan of live ,remixes it demos. But lots of songs that didn’t make the album, I’m all for it. Like to make a playlist of the songs I would have put on the album.
The Job Spencer reissues from a few years ago all had whole extra albums worth of songs. SFA reissues all have alot of extra good songs as they were a real good b sides band.
Usually if the albums good the chances are there are some pretty decent b sides at the time as well as the band were ust in a good creative period.
@ttf and @TAFH33 to thread!
Honestly though, the Pumpkins reissues are a gold mine.
The Blur ones were very extensive too.
Sonic Youth ones were pretty good overall
The Dinosaur Jr reissues of the 90s albums had some brilliant extra content. B sides, live tracks, covers etc. There were longer live sets on the cd version and on streaming. But the vinyl versions were a well stocked double.
That said, I only got Green Mind, Where You Been and Without a Sound. Am not a millionaire…
Underworld reissues for sure.
Tell you what though, can’t think of any ‘live material’ bonus discs that i felt like listening to a second time
The Pumpkins ones are outstanding and have pretty much saved my year. They’re massive.
Right now it’s just Gish, Siamese Dream, Pisces Iscariot, Mellon Collie, The Aeroplane Flies High, and Adore, but there’s basically 20 hours of music so far - previously unreleased songs, instrumentals, full versions of Pastichio Medley clips, demos, covers, alternate versions, live versions (including a 35 minute Silverfuck), etc.
The amount of top tier material is really incredible, I’m finding new favorite songs 25 years in.
Tindersticks 2 including the excellent live at Bloomsbury Theatre album as a second disc. Absolutely great versions of tracks and has the rare and great For Those… in the set.
The live albums with the Joy Division reissues were pretty cool.
Adventures beyond the ultraworld had imo the definitive 20+ minute version of a huge ever-growing etc on it, which is great.
Thought the pavement ones were pretty well done and listenable although they were running a bit thin by the last one
One of the many shite things about Spotify is when they only have a bloated deluxe version of the album.
The Hold Steady albums on Spotify are an absolute shambles
I really loved the early Floyd ones (although not enough to shel the ridiculous price for the boxset) - loads of alternate versions, really great for an obsessive like myself. The Animals / WYWH were pretty excellent too.
The later years boxset is their worst two albums, with 400 different live versions of the tracks from their two worst records. Milking the dead cash cow until their hands fall off.
Enjoyed OKNOTOK - having all the (mostly excellent) b-sides on vinyl plus the three new tracks was definitely a good thing. Was a bit too strapped to shell for the tape version though.
+1 for contemporary b-sides, e.p. tracks and unreleased tracks. Think demos, alternative takes, live/session versions etc can just be cheap downloads really.
Had a quick scroll through discogs and amazed how few reissues with extras/new releases with extras I actually own. The 2 most obvious ones are the Lift To Experience boxset and Cat Power’s Sun which came with a bonus 7inch which had this frankly incredible song on it:
That second disc is incredible.
Early Metallica ones are also pretty good for live stuff

Review by Karen Topham, American Theatre Critics Association member; photo by Rick Aguilar Studios.
1972’s The Poseidon Adventure, the classic tale of the doomed SS Poseidon and its New Year’s capsizing, was perhaps the premiere achievement in the era of disaster films, an era that included Earthquake, The Towering Inferno, Airport, and others and is echoed in the works of such filmmakers as Michael Bay today. An upside down soap opera on the sea, Poseidon has always been ripe for parodying, and in 2002 Hell In a Handbag Productions, then a brand-new company, hit it big with their musical version. Seventeen years on, HIAH is remounting Poseidon: An Upside Down Musical for the second time (they did it in 2009), and the result is the same: high camp, enjoyable music, and a tidal wave of fun.
This year’s version brings back many of the performers from earlier productions as well as adding some new ones, and everyone has a great time. The story of the musical involves a group of Poseidon junkies who get together every New Year’s Eve to rewatch their favorite film (and party). Gradually, as the “film” plays out onstage, their deep affection allows the watchers to be subsumed into it and become part of it. And, as everyone has a great time, the SS Poseidon flips over once more.
All of the classic scenes are there, up to and including the Shelley Winters swimming scene. (The tag line of the musical is, “It’s not over til the fat lady swims.”) And a whole lot of sexual nuance that may have lain just below the surface of the original is front and center in this version. I have not seen the movie in ages, but I don’t recall, for example, a pedophilia subtext or a closeted gay haberdasher; these are undoubtedly inventions of David Cerda, leader of Hell in a Handbag and the show’s playwright. (Of course, what might have been innocent in 1972 would look pretty strange seen from a modern eye, including the amount of time and attention a young boy gets from one particular crewman.) Not to worry though: everything is played for laughs (and even the pedophilia bit is rectified in the end), and what we are in for is a joyous retelling of the film.
At the start we are told by the ensemble (and a wonderful Caitlin Jackson) that “movies have the power to save your life,” and for those gathering at this annual party this one (fairly schlocky) film seems to have done just that. Before the curtain ever even opens and we glimpse the crew and passengers of the cruise ship for the first time, we have already been introduced to both the glory of film and the way that people tend to bond with their favorites. (Mine was Mary Poppins; I could watch that movie forever, living in its magical reality that was so much better than my real life.)
Once that curtain opens, and director Derek Van Barham allows us onto the ship itself (which is portrayed by Christopher Rhoton’s multiple levels of movable scaffolding that allows the “climbers” plenty of opportunity to make it “up” to the “bottom” of the ship), we are primed for a life-altering experience. Naturally, one of the first songs we hear is from a preacher (David Lipschutz), who tells us almost blasphemously that we should look to ourselves and not to God for ways out of trouble. His point is that God has given us wisdom and we should use it rather than sitting around praying for supernatural intervention. Our lives are ready to be altered.
The other climbers also get opportunities to explore themselves through song. Closeted gay haberdasher James Martin (Scott Sawa) sings about his bachelor life. “Hooker with a heart of gold” Linda Rogo (Elizabeth Lesinski) sings an homage to a line in the movie about how she is wearing “just panties” (but what else does she need?) beneath her evening gown. Simpleton singer Nonnie (Stevie Love), who is one of the first to lose someone important to her—her brother and bandmate—sings the comical/plaintive “Did You Like His Music?” Overweight Mrs. Rosen (Tommy Bullington) gets another song based on a movie line, “(In the Water) I’m a Very Skinny Lady.” Others share songs, but we get to know them through their interactions and lyrics: Robin (Frankie Leo Bennett) is the eleven-year-old with the hyper “helpful” crew member friend; his sister Susan (Katherine Bellantone) is aflutter with teenage hormones all addressed at the Reverend Scott. We also meet policeman Mike Rogo (Shane Roberie), crew member Acres (Nicky Mendelsohn with a thick Scottish brogue), and Mrs. Rosen’s husband Manny (Michael S. Miller), all of whom play important roles as the escape moves on.
Van Barham not only handles the complex navigation of capsizing an ocean liner with aplomb, but gets some fine campy performances from his ensemble. Love, in particular, seems born to play a ditzy blonde. Bullington’s Mrs. Rosen is alternatively sweet and strong, while Bennett’s Robin has just the right amount of innocence mixed with all of the sexual innuendo. And Sawa is allowed to show multiple layers of characterization as the one climber who grows the most inside during the escape.
No one is going to come into something called Poseidon: An Upside Down Musical expecting powerful epiphanies and serious theatre; you know before you go in that it’s going to be a campy and funny show. In that you will not be at all disappointed. This is classic Hell in a Handbag—quite literally. It was their first big hit and now, playing at the Edge Theatre (which itself would be at home on a cruise ship), it is perfectly situated to do the job again. By the time you reach the finale (“Keep On Climbing”) you’ll have been thoroughly entertained, though you might want to forego cruising for a few years.
Poseidon: An Upside Down Musical is now playing at the Edge Theatre, 5451 N Broadway through April 28. Check the website for specific dates, times, and tickets. Find more information about current plays in our front page recs and at theatreinchicago.com.


Look at it. It's so beautiful you want to lick it.

We couldn’t believe that this is the same trophy that the Champions lift after winning the finals. Which in our case is the best final in the history of football. Period.
Golden drink in a silvery cup
Heineken is the partner of UEFA Champions League since 2005 and is responsible for getting the trophy here to India this year. This is the first time the trophy has arrived officially in India under the worldwide activation campaign called Champion the Trophy.

So, where will the trophy be going after shining over Mahalaxmi racecourse? Bandra, Carter Road and Shivaji Park are next on the daily schedule for 10th April. You might just get a glimpse of it before it reaches inside the safe haven of Taj Lands End at night by 8pm. Thereafter leaving us for its final destination - Vietnam. The trophy has already been to Jamaica, Panama, Colombia and Egypt. So, we were one of the six lucky countries in the world to be selected for the activation campaign.

It’s robbin’ season on Atlanta and it’s made pretty clear why. “Alligator Man” pulls us back into Earn’s (Donald Glover) surreal, dangerous odyssey and he’s no less homeless. Not missing a step in the year plus it’s been off air, the biggest thing I’m happy about is that Atlanta didn’t lose its quirky sensibilities.
As Darius (Lakeith Stanfield) pointed out, as Earn and him fill up his car while looking at a crime scene, Christmas is nearing. And as Christmas nears, it’s robbin’ season in the city of Atlanta as “everybody gotta eat”. Nothing makes that clearer than the opening five minutes of two friends who decide to rob a fast food joint. The tense opening mirrored the opening of the previous season. And as one of the robbers engaged in a firefight with the manager of the restaurant, I was reminded of this Kendrick Lamar song that he did with U2 as well as this Lou Reed song. If there was ever an argument for gun control, it’d be made with these opening five minutes of a manager of a chicken joint wielding an AK-47 against the robber. Not only that but he never manages to hit with one bullet either as he destroys much of the restaurant he works at.
Picking up where we last left him Earn is being kicked out of the storage space he’s living in after the owners know that he’s been living in it. With that, Earn heads over to his cousin’s, Alfred “Paper Boi” Miles (Brian Tyree Henry), to find out that Darius and Al aren’t on speaking terms at the moment. With Earn needing to see his parole officer over a small infraction with a joint. Still broke, Earn can’t pay back the mandatory classes he must attend and tries to stay over Al’s place through Darius which he fails at. When Darius inquires about Earn’s parents, Earn tells him that they’re heading to Florida to visit his dying uncle. Upon warning Earn to tell them to watch out for Florida Man, Darius regals the tale of Florida Man to Earn. Earn asks Darius why anyone would act that crazy upon hearing Darius’ sordid story to which Darius says it’s a conspiracy between him and the state government to prevent black folks from voting.
After meeting his P.O. and Earn gets a call from Al to check up on Willie as Yvonne (Monique Grant) called Al saying she’s been kidnapped by Willie. Darius (who senses intense vibes) and Earn head over to Willie’s who turns out to be none other than Katt Williams himself. Earn has to explain to Willie that Al is on house arrest and can’t come to visit and the reason they are there is because Yvonne called. Willie explains that Yvonne is locked up as she stole fifty dollars from him and they are the only one’s who were in his house at the time of theft.
After getting the keys from Willie, Earn opens the door and has to remind Yvonne that they’ll all be in serious trouble with the fuzz if she went around screaming kidnapping. Unfortunately, the next-door neighbor did call the police on a domestic disturbance. Knowing Yvonne took the money, Earn given a hundred dollars and tells her to give back the fifty to Willie.
The situation escalates with the whole neighborhood watching with Willie refusing to step outside and talk to the police. The neighborhood tells him that he has an alligator and is known as Alligator Man. Earn barters with the police that he needs five minutes to talk to his uncle Willie which he gets. Earn tells his uncle that he’s on probation and that if something pops off he needs to let him know. Willie tells nephew that he’s not crazy like Florida Man and that he knows the law and that’s why he’s staying in his house. When Yvonne gives Willie the money back urging him to listen to Earn as Willie is hiding a lot, Willie goes off about the money. This prompts Yvonne to leave and tell the police that she’s been kidnapped despite just telling them that she was fine.
With Earn flipping out as well, Willie tells him to go to since he’s on probation. Earn has to remind his uncle that Al owns the house and told hi to make sure he’s okay. After a brief spat, Earn cuts deep. Darius interrupts and says that vibe feels like jail and he’ll wait in the car. As Darius exits he pleads with the cops not to shoot him which is both funny and sadly true.
With that Willie gives Earn a gold-plated gun to get rid of. With some final word of advice, Willie tells Earn to get rid of the chip on his shoulder. On his way out Earn steals a family photo and tells the police that he’s their problem now. With the cops about to enter the alligator exits through the front door with Willie running out of the back door and down the street.
Later back at Al’s, Darius and him reconcile over a blunt while Tracy (Khris Davis), Al’s friend who just got out of jail, joins the other three men. Al, Darius, and Tracy laugh at him for taking Willie’s gold-plated gun telling him to get rid of it. Earn leaves Al’s heading off into the cold night.
This episode was a good episode to get out feet week back into this world. Last season each episode felt like a self-contained part of a whole. So, going back and watching it, it felt like you were watching an episodic film with each character having a complete arc by the first season’s excellent finale. In addition to that the music still plays an important part. I’m really interested to see if Al’s career grows as rapper Paper Boi.
And yes, while this is a continuation on Earn’s struggle, it does feel like a sequel as we shift into a different time with now even more heightened stakes. Earn is still a goof, Al is still too cool for school, and Darius is still a peculiar sidekick. Episode one of Robbin’ Season is welcome return to Atlanta.

Leftists Already Lying About the Upcoming "Patriot Prayer" Rally in San Francisco. Here are the Facts.
Pro-conservative and libertarian group "Patriot Prayer" is planning a "Free Speech" rally in San Francisco, one of the most far-left cities in the nation. Naturally, leftist nut-jobs are falling over themselves to mislabel the group and its leader.
A headline earlier today appeared on the San Francisco Examiner declaring: "'White supremacist’ patriot rally coming to San Francisco — counter-protest already planned," insinuating that the same people responsible for the violence that took place in Charlottesville are planning the event.
From the article:
Besides the portion quoted above, the entire piece is rife with deliberate misinformation. Here are the facts:
The "Patriot Prayer" is not a white supremacist group.
This is perhaps the most blatant lie. The group's founder, Joey Gibson, has denounced hate groups repeatedly. In an interview just three months ago, he had this to say:
After leftist news organizations alleged that he had ties with racist criminal Jeremy Christian, Gibson was quick to denounce him and refute any connection with him.
According to the group's official facebook page, their mission "is about using the power of love and prayer to fight the corruption both in the government and citizen levels that seek to gain power through division and deception."
Conservatives were not responsible for the Charlottesville terror attack.
There were several groups taking part in the protests and counter-protests during the attack in Charlottesville. None were conservative.
The event pitted Antifa and Black Lives Matter (both criminal fascist organizations) against Neo-Nazis, the Alt-Right, White Nationalists/Supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan, all of which are hateful groups whose ideologies are utterly incompatible with conservative values.
As previously stated, the Patriot Prayer group endorses and supports none of these organizations or their ideologies.
In spite of the reality, it seems that leftists, including the all-Democrat San Francisco administration, are determined to label the group all the things they are not. Should they attempt to deny the group a permit like UC Berkeley did to Ben Shapiro, the city could very well face a First Amendment lawsuit of their own.
Stay alert. Stay alive.

Flown anywhere lately?
After being grounded by the pandemic, maximum folks are quite darn excited to visit the airport to fly to pretty much everywhere.
But once at the airport, the excitement seems to fade.
That’s what the J.D. Power 2022 North America Airport Satisfaction Study, released on Wednesday, tells us.
According to the look at, pleasure is down 25 factors (on a 1,000-factor scale) this year because travelers are disappointed with fewer flights, extra cancellations, crowded terminals, constrained food and beverage offerings inside the terminals, and confined places to park.
“The combination of pent-up demand for air tour, the national exertions shortage, and step by step growing costs on everything from jet gasoline to a bottle of water has created a situation in which airports are extraordinarily crowded and passengers are increasingly more pissed off—and it's miles likely to retain via 2023,” stated Michael Taylor, journey intelligence lead at J.D. Power.
“In some approaches, this is a go back to normal as large crowds at airports have a tendency to make vacationers more frazzled, however in cases in which parking plenty are over ability, gates are status room most effective and restaurants and bars aren't even open to offer a few reprieve, it is clear that expanded ability in airports can’t come quickly sufficient.”
That doesn’t mean vacationers are more pleased with some airports than others.
In the ‘mega’ class – Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport ranks maximum in passenger satisfaction, followed by means of San Francisco International Airport. Both Detroit Metropolitan
Wayne County Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport land in a 3rd-place tie.

Orange County and Dallas Love Field.
And within the medium airport class, Indianapolis International Airport ranks highest, with Pittsburgh
International Airport in 2nd location and Jacksonville International Airport and Southwest
Florida International Airport in a 3rd-place tie.

By Laurence Schlicher. Fireplace. At Tuesday, September 03rd 2019, 17:05:36 PM.
Simply put, stone fireplaces consist of either manufactured or natural materials. This surround renovation by the duo behind Chris loves Julia incorporates the latter. The stacked stone ledgers are strips of dark, charcoal marble glued to interlocking panels for easy installation. For drama, the fireplace goes up to the ceiling. As a result, the stunning stonework draws the eyes upward making the average sized room feel ginormous and airy. Capping off the remodel is the live-edge wood mantel that beautifully complements the textured marble.
Fireplaces can fit into any space. Wood can create a classic library fireplace, a modern hearth or a transitional focal point. Stone can be smooth, rough, stacked or fitted. It can retain its natural finish or get a coat of paint. Color contrast creates drama.

The black metal and exposed chimney of this modern fireplace design lend themselves well to a 60`s-inspired room. When set against a large picture window, the boxy frame is echoed perfectly, giving a sense of continuity without being too uniform, as well as offering a welcoming view when the weather gets a bit too dreary. The stark black metal can seem a bit harsh in a smaller space, so complement a fireplace like this with low, angular furniture to make the room seem taller, and bright splashes of color to update its retro-chic feel.
