Baseball greats turn out to honor one of their own
By KEITH NIEBUHR, Times Staff Writer
HOMOSASSA -- Monte Irvin retired from baseball in 1956 and entered the hall of fame 29 years ago, but he hasn't been forgotten.
Thursday night at the Elks Lodge in Homosassa, luminaries of the sport such at Dom DiMaggio and hall-of-fame second baseman Joe Morgan were among the approximately 300 people who attended the Monte Irvin Tribute, which honored the 83-year-old Sugarmill Woods resident for his baseball accomplishments and charitable contributions.
A silent auction featuring items signed by Irvin and other well-known baseball players raised money for the Key Training Center.
"It's been great to get a chance to spend time with a hall-of-famer," said Morgan, who came from California to serve as master of ceremonies. "He's got so many stories. I don't do a lot of these things. I have a habit in the winter of staying home with my family. But I have a lot of respect for him and that's why I'm here."
The tribute began with a dinner and followed with a roast. The event lasted about four hours.
"It was just delightful," Irvin said. "I had a great time and most of the people I talked to said they enjoyed themselves. It was a fun night."
Irvin, a Negro Leagues star in the 1930s and 40s, joined the New York Giants in 1949, two years after Jackie Robinson broke Major League Baseball's color barrier. He played eight seasons in the Majors, leading the league in RBIs in 1951. Irvin carried a .373 lifetime average in the Negro Leagues.
"He was a hell of a ballplayer," said Yankees bench coach Don Zimmer, who attended. "He's been a great man, not just a great ballplayer."
Irvin, a New Jersey native who moved to Citrus County in 1984, was joined at the tribute by Dee, his wife of 60 years, and his youngest daughter, Pat.
Hall-of-fame pitcher Robin Roberts, former Devil Rays manager Hal McRae and Dr. James Parker, Irvin's college roommate, also were present.
"He had a ball," Dee Irvin said.
The tribute was organized by the Key. Through the years, Irvin has donated numerous pieces of memorabilia to the center, which provides daily living, social skills, job training, residential services and life-sustaining care for the developmentally disabled. Organizers hoped to raise between $3,000 and $5,000, but Bob Mallock of the center said the final figure will be greater than anticipated.
"We were very pleased with the entire evening," Mallock said. "We have received a lot of compliments from people. I think everybody had a good time."

BHOPAL: Driven by this year's record rainfall and increased cultivation area of wheat, pulses and other crops, Madhya Pradesh's agriculture growth is likely to cross 10% this fiscal.
Beating extreme weather conditions, MP clocked 9% agricultural growth, surpassing the national average of 0.04% in 2009. The state achieved the growth rate despite widespread drought and 35% deficient rainfall in the year.
In 2011, the agricultural growth rate is likely to be over 10% given 15% increase in area under wheat and 50% under gram cultivation. The area under other crops is also likely to increase. Besides, this year the rainfall in the state was the best in the country in terms of distribution and timing.
Agricultural growth had recorded in the negative almost every alternate year. In 2000, the agricultural growth rate was -28.29% followed by -19.64% in 2002-03, an official spokesman said. Experts said that the negative growth in agriculture sector would be a thing of past in the state.
The state government claimed that better irrigation and other facilities were provided to farmers in the past five years.
"Last eight years have seen creation of irrigation potential for additional eight lakh hectare. Moreover, realization of created irrigation potential was 35% in 2002-03, which has now gone up by 50%.''
"Balram ponds and Jalabhishek Abhiyan have also played a major role in augmenting irrigation facility. As many as 8,500 Balram ponds have been constructed that have provided irrigation to a large area. Under Jalabhishek Abhiyan, seven lakh water conservation structures have been constructed providing irrigation facility for about one lakh hectare,'' the release added.
In addition, tariff subsidy of the order of Rs 5 thousand crore has been provided to the farmers. Subsidies on farm implements and seeds and fertilizers have been given to farmers.

Battlegrounds Mobile India is being criticized for having a large number of hackers and even big streamers and professional players like Sc0ut and Mortal have begun to take notice. Mortal recently tweeted about the hacking problem in BGMI and Sc0ut uploaded some snippets of him being killed instantly by different hackers in multiple matches.
The problem of hacking is persistent in almost every gaming title but the anti-cheat mechanism deployed by developers makes a huge impact on the actual number. Some games are evidently faceless hackers due to stricter anti-cheat checking but Battlegrounds Mobile India is apparently lacking in this aspect.
PUBG Mobile makers, Krafton, developed a different mobile battle royale title for the Indian region to abide by the local laws but it is facing a similar problem of hacking like PUBG Mobile.
PUBG Mobile was infamous for having a large number of hackers but after multiple anti-cheat updates and by the implementation of new techniques, the number was significantly reduced. This has not been the case with Battlegrounds Mobile India even though the game is exactly similar to PUBG Mobile.
BGMI pro and content creator, Mortal, recently expressed his disappointment on Twitter by tweeting the following:
This tweet has evidently caught the attention of many players facing similar issues. Another big content creator, Sc0ut spoke about this matter by uploading some clips on his Instagram stories. They depicted that Sc0ut was killed twice in some absurd ways.
One of the clips highlighted a hacker using M249 to knock Sc0ut in a long-distance spray and the other video showcased yet another hacker using Kar98 twice within a fraction of a second and then increasing the movement speed with a speed hack.
Battlegrounds Mobile India is still a new game but due to the number of hackers present in this game, it is quite frustrating for the fan base to enjoy the game in classic mode. The developers are expected to take some action to solve this issue.

Flashback 2017. At the onset of Marawi siege, the war on terror targeting the Mautes displaced several thousands of urban residents and disrupted the economic livelihood within and outside the city. The ISIS-inspired insurgency group recruited mainly children and youth as ‘jihad’ fighters.
To stem the lure of violent extremist ideology among out-of-school youths, Peace Crops was conceived adopting Canada’s project “Drop Seeds, Not Bombs” and bannering agro-enterprise development aimed at reshaping vulnerable mindsets. Among those instrumental in providing a model towards agri-based community peacebuilding is Capt. Ron Villarosa who led a civic-military farming program in Basilan, a dreaded conflict-torn province in Mindanao ruled heavily by lawless elements and Abu Sayyaf terrorists.
In an earnest measure to help rehabilitate Marawi and her municipal neighbors, Peace Crops mirrors bayanihan tradition among youth farmers, volunteers, civilian and military supporters, a co-creative process driven by a common vision of peace and food security in Mindanao in this arm-to-farm approach.
Can a community agro-enterprise program be able to stem the lure of extremism in a province feared to be Southeast Asia’s laboratory for ISIS-inspired militant activities?
It’s a tough question to answer. But what is clear to Peace Crops is that they have taken fruitful baby steps to be able to link small farmer partners –out-of-school youths, women, and barangay leaders– to modern food consumer markets beyond the traditional local outlets that abound in their area. The agro-enterprise engagement hopes to inspire a shift in the mindset of young militants to drop their arms and engage in farms, as well as influence positive response to the longstanding issue of poverty and inequality that continue to fuel hardcore radicalization in some parts of the region.
Among its beneficiaries is Jalal, a commander of a MILF unit in Lanao del Sur. Jalal farms when he is not busy especially that his troop was just decommissioned under the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro and its enabling law, RA 11054 or the Organic Act for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
This is the first time his cluster of farmers has gone into vegetable growing by the lakeside, inspired by the agro-enterprise activity of a neighboring group who introduced them to Peace Crops’ agricultural initiative in the province.
Last April, Commander Jalal led in the harvest of naturally-grown pechay, whose extraordinarily large, healthy green foliage amazed everyone despite being a few days short of the 35-day requirement for picking.
His farm by the lakeside is an innovation in itself brought by necessity: the lake waters have receded considerably due to the ill-effects of El Niño. What they did not anticipate at the outset was to discover how fertile this dried up tilapia farm would turn out to be, extravagantly nourishing the variety of crops presently being trialed in this area. In the days to come, creative lake farming practices would be introduced, and hopefully, place this farm lot in the map as a model for M’ranaos, the people of the lake, to emulate.
A core dissuading argument that douses high hopes for agricultural productivity to succeed in Lanao del Sur is the pervading cultural perception that, because the province is dominated by commercial traders (of which mental model is second skin commonly attached to the M’ranaos), its local inhabitants would shun from engaging in agriculture.
Aside from challenges on culture and perceptions, the irony with Lanao del Sur is that, while the second largest lake in the country lies at the heart of the province, local farmers in the area have difficulty accessing this huge body of water that kisses by its shore for their farming needs. Such is the dilemma of the farmers in Balindong, where a dried-up creek–painfully a case of “so close yet so far”–also runs next to their garden. Thankfully, nearby is a deep well that pumps out this much-needed resource for agricultural sustainability. Having heard of their struggle, donors partnered with Peace Crops providing a water pump, giving much relief to enable a community of farmers to pursue their activity, now secured in their thought for increased productivity.
After a year of service capacitating its farming community partners in Marantao and Balindong and other neighboring municipalities, Peace Crops was able to establish new theories on paradigm shift and social change. It managed to link some small farmers to non-conventional markets within and outside their localities, opening for them opportunities to capture more value on their farm products for improved income.
This agro-enterprise developmental approach has gained attention and recognition from other organizations (e.g., the provincial and barangay LGUs, NGOs, and other local farmer groups) who have expressed interest to adopt such model of community engagement particularly in conflict-affected areas.

Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Province of the Franciscan Friars
August 28, 2019
[Response to AP article]
An article came out yesterday, August 27th, from the Associated Press about credible sexual abuse allegations against two men who had served at St. Francis in the mid to late 1990s. The two men’s names are Paul West and Donald Lucas. Paul left Greenwood in November 1998 and subsequently left the Franciscan community in 2002. Donald died in August 1999, an apparent suicide.
The sexual abuse involved three men, all related, whose names appear in the article. It is a very graphic article about the sexual abuse that took place and what these men experienced when they were children. All three men attended St. Francis Grade School at the time of the abuse. Paul West had been a teacher and then principal of the school.
It is awful what happened; it is reprehensible; it is painful for the survivors. We, friars, are broken-hearted about the abuse which took place. All of our friars at St. Francis and of the Assumption BVM Province want to help these men as we are able. We have provided assistance to two of the men that is not discussed in the article. While the actions of the two former friars took place over two decades ago, they are still very painful in the lives of these men who suffered so much.

Bal Thackeray row scares Shaheen Dhada away from Facebook, forever

One of the girls held for posting comments on 'Facebook' questioning the shutdown in the city for Shiv Sena Chief Bal Thackeray's funeral today said she will never again visit the social networking site while police arrested 9 Shiv Sainiks for vandalising her uncle's clinic.
Shaheen Dhada and Renu were arrested for posting comments opposing the Mumbai shutdown. However, they were granted bail after they furnished personal bonds, police said.
"So far, we have arrested nine persons in connection with ransacking the clinic of Abdul Dhada. We are looking for some more people," SP Thane rural Ravindra Sengaokar said.
Shaheen said police was polite to her and she had no complaints against any police personnel."I have apologised for the post," she said adding that whatever happened was unfair.
However, Shaheen said she would never use the social media network henceforth. She had no comments to offer on whether she had done anything wrong. She described Thackeray as a "great guy" whom she "truly respected".
Shaheen had allegedly commented on Facebook that one should not observe bandh for Thackeray's funeral. "We should remember Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev," the post said.
Her friend Renu, who was arrested for 'liking' the post, felt that she was "wrongfully" arrested.
Renu said, "I regret what I did. This should not have happened. I never dreamt that I would be in court. What we did was not a crime. Now I will think twice before posting anything on Facebook."
She further said, "The arrest was not necessary. Police treated us well. I was amazed at what was happening to me."
Their advocate Sudhir Gupta said both were arrested under section 505(2) IPC (statements creating or promoting enmity, hatred or ill-will between classes) following a police complaint lodged by a local Sena leader.
After the comment was posted, a mob of nearly 40 Shiv Sainiks allegedly barged into Dhada's uncle's clinic at Palghar in Thane district on Sunday and vandalised the place.

Aside from Beyonce, no other musical artist has received the same amount of excitement over an album release as Frank Ocean has this year. His album Blonde garnered so much buzz that fans are outraged at its lack of Grammy nominations. He nearly made $1.8 million in the album’s first week of release, and he has since had dinner at the White House.
Beyond the accolades, what can aspiring musicians learn from Ocean’s career on while on their own paths to success?
1. Drop a mixtape before your first major release.
Frank Ocean released his first project, Nostalgia, Ultra, for free before he released his first major label debut. More artists like ASAP Rocky and Danny Brown are releasing their music for free early in their careers to gain recognition from other labels. This album featured the singles “Novacane” and “Swim Good,” catching the ear of tastemakers like Jay-Z and Kanye West.
As hard as it is to put money and effort into an album and release it for free, it may save musicians in the end. Musicians are working harder to come to the fans first and then delivering consistent projects to loyal fans who will see them live and buy their music the next time around.
2. Make them wait.
Once an artist has the ears of the fans, it is up to the artist to decide when the fans hear what comes next. Fans were awaiting the next chapter of Ocean’s career, but he waited, partially because he knew he had them.
Hype can work in the favor of musicians if what they have to offer has substance. Sometimes creating something of substance takes time. A musician may want to release a decent album tomorrow, but it would be wiser to release a great one after a few years. It is important to have fewer projects with a greater emphasis on quality.
3. Be human.
Ocean’s music, as with many musicians, is heavily autobiographical. Blonde seemed to dig deeper into the experiences that he was living with on a day to day basis. Whether he is exorcising demons in the studio or making records that are off the cuff, Frank Ocean relates to a human element that music fans seek out.
Musicians that are also lyricists should take the risk of being willing to open up in front of their fans.
Through his calculated album releases and humble beginnings, Frank Ocean has skyrocket himself this year to a level that most musicians envy. He’s made a career off of making honest music that his fanbase relates to. He went from releasing albums for free to making millions off of his passionate lyrics, and he did it without compromising his vision.

The researchers make comments about the swans possibly making sophisticated mating choices and seeking out superior genes… oh yeah? How about just seizing the opportunity? 😉

The port is configure in input with an internal pull-up. I have disable the interrupt for the input by setting KBI2SC, KBI2PE and KBI2ES to 0x00.
When in debug, I notice that in the command window, there is a message saying "Frequency change to ~8978805hz" when the device reset. This is not the frequency I have set the device to, and when I'm starting the debuger, there's a message saying "Frequency change to ~22109775hz" which is the right frequency.
Also, when the device is halted in debug, I'm pushing the button repeatidly and the device reset. I had the reset on low voltage disabled, and it doesn't fix the problem. I also have others inputs on the Port D using the same button and they are working fine.

Great little guesthouse in fantastic location
The location was great... down a quiet lane but very near to Ku-De-Ta and the beach, in a beautiful traditional Balinese house where they had built some guest rooms in keeping with the house. My lovely host welcomed me with complimentary fresh fruit in my room. She was very friendly and helpful, the room was great, and she even gave me an early breakfast when she knew I had to leave very early... would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

The long-awaited prequel to ‘Prime Suspect’ debuts tonight on ITV, and its star Stefanie Martini warns us we’ll be seeing lots of casual everyday sexism that viewers will no doubt bristle at, just as her character, young Jane Tennison, does visibly.
Stefanie tells HuffPostUK:
“She doesn’t like it, but she has to put up with a lot of it. It’s there but no one comments on it, it’s just normal, it’s not outrageous to be expected to make a cup of tea just because you’re a woman.
“In 1973, when women got accepted into different academies, they’d be branded on their bare bums the stamp of the station – could you get away with that now? Not at all. I wasn’t surprised at the level of sexism, but I was taken aback by how the women dealt with it and got what they wanted without coming across as too aggressive.
“Jane has to just work extra hard and has to be much smarter than everyone else. What we see is her concentrating on the case, not how people are treating her. In that era, if you’d come up against that with aggression, it wouldn’t have got you anywhere. A female police advisor told me how you had to laugh through it, and be really clever. “
Stefanie admits she’s anxious about the response to her portrayal of the much-loved Jane Tennison.
She tells HuffPostUK:
“Of course I am (nervous). It’s a well-loved character and Helen Mirren’s portrayal is amazing, and that’s scary, but it’s got to be my own thing.
“I’ve just done my best, I’ve brought myself to it, my own interpretation.
“I wouldn’t have this opportunity if it wasn’t for the original show, so I feel honoured, but I’ve got to see it as a separate thing I’m working on, because otherwise I’d go mad.”
The prequel is set in 1973, the very first year women were trusted to do the same job as their menfolk in the police force. Young Jane is fresh out of police training, and a very different character from the confident, status-assured woman we met with Helen Mirren in 1991, and followed through seven major cases.
“She has all the book knowledge, but none of the real knowledge,” is Stefanie’s take on the younger version. “She’s fresh-faced, naïve, doesn’t really know what she’s doing, just full of good intentions. So they’re in very different positions when it comes to status, Jane is right at the bottom, starting out, finding her feet. Very different people.”
However, it seems those character traits so admired in Helen Mirren’s portrayal will see their acorns sown in Stefanie’s.
“There are definite hints of what’s to come. She starts to realise that’s not how everything works and she has to be tougher. And there is already an inner resilience about her, which will be familiar.”
No word from Dame Helen, but she’s not involved in the project. She released a statement that she supports it and she likes that young women get to see what it’s like back then.
‘Prime Suspect 1973’ begins tonight on ITV at 9pm.


We are a caring funder, an innovator, and an advocate. We aim to create social impact and maximize leverage wherever possible, actively promoting collaboration among stakeholders. All our daughter funds target areas which are neglected or not well-funded by the Government or other public funding bodies. By initiating and supporting innovative projects and then scaling up those with proven effectiveness, we aim to bring positive and concrete changes to the service recipients, the welfare sector, government policies, and society.
- Undertaking broad and deep research to understanding critical needs and root causes of social issues
- Promoting innovation in problem-solving
- Creating practical solutions
- Measuring progress against indicators
- Encouraging active collaboration among stakeholders
- Benefitting underserved segments of the community, eliminating disparities, and promoting equal access to services
“Service-Research-Public Education” Approach
Our flagship projects begin with comprehensive research on existing needs and service gaps. From this, we identify an area where we can make a significant impact. An appointed Principal Investigator, usually an academic expert in the relevant field, designs an evidence-based service model. We then collaborate with NGOs to pilot the program in the community, integrating frontline experience and ensuring practicality. Throughout the pilot phase, we conduct evaluations to measure its impact and affirm the model’s effectiveness. Alongside this process, we conduct community and public education, promoting relevant messages and knowledge, with an aim to scale up and replicate the model across Hong Kong.
After the pilot stage and validation of the model’s effectiveness, we engage various NGOs to implement the model on a wider scale, ensuring its accessibility to those who need it the most. An essential part of this phase is capacity building for the involved NGOs. We facilitate training programs and provide resources that enhance their ability to deliver the services effectively. The dissemination phase further involves sharing the model and advocating for its adoption through stakeholder engagement and public education. By working collaboratively and promoting the model, we endeavor to create sustainable change and positively impact the lives of individuals in Hong Kong.
We utilize a blend of service, research, NGO capacity building, public education, and stakeholder collaboration, aiming not only to create innovative solutions but also set trends and transfer relevant knowledge. Through capacity building and public education, we further strengthen the welfare sector’s ability to address community needs and increase public awareness of the issues, creating ripple effects that go beyond our immediate project objectives. This comprehensive approach fosters wide-scale, sustainable impact on service recipients, the welfare sector, public policy, and society as a whole.

Henry Cavill Thanks Dwayne Johnson and Manager Danny Garcia for Superman’s Return
Feb 9, 2023
Home Movie News Henry Cavill Thanks The Rock and Manager Dany Garcia for Superman’s Return
The actor said that far too many voices have helped him stay on Superman and eventually return officially.
Warner Bros. Pictures
The long wait for Superman’s return to the DC Universe is over. Henry Cavill is once again set to don the red cape. The actor recently made a cameo appearance in a post-credits scene for Black Adam. It took DC five years to bring Cavill back to the role he was eagerly waiting for. However, it wouldn’t have been possible without all the fans that rallied for him to reprise his role, as well as without the people around him, managing his projects and keeping the hopes high. Furthermore, Dwayne Johnson, who executive produced and co-supervised the creative production of Black Adam also pushed for Superman to have a cameo in his film.
MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY
In an interview with Extra TV, Henry Cavill showed his gratitude to all those people who helped him to hold on to Superman’s role. The actor said that he isn’t aware of how decisions are made behind the scenes but acknowledged that there have been many who made it possible for him to reprise his role. He said,
I think there’s—it’s so difficult to say exactly what happens behind the scenes. There’s been a lot of voices involved.
Thanking Dwayne Johnson and his managers Danny Garcia and Hiram Garcia, he added,
I’m so thankful for voices like Danny Garcia and Hiram Garcia, and indeed Dwyane [Johnson being so involved in helping me come back to this character. I mean, the deeper I dig the more voices I discover… but, Danny and have a close relationship as well because she was my manager.
As great as it is for Henry to get back into the DC Universe, it’s equally great for fans who have been wishing for Superman’s story arc to continue in the franchise. It’s been almost a decade since Man of Steel arrived, which remains the only solo film to feature Cavill as Superman. Hopefully, that will soon change when DCU moves ahead under the new leadership, with Superman leading the vanguard once again.

What could Cavill’s Return Mean to Superman in DCU?
Warner Bros. Pictures
Firstly, Henry Cavill’s return as Superman means that the old DC Extended Universe storyline still stands. There were rumors that those early stories will get erased in The Flash so that the franchise could sway away from Zack Snyder’s films which conflicted with the studio’s plans. Cavill’s return became more impossible when Warner Bros. went under management changes multiple times. But, things started looking better when recently, the studio announced plans for a new DC Universe which shall be alike Marvel Cinematic Universe, becoming a fitting shared continuity in the next ten years.
Now that it has happened, and DC Studios has new leadership, it’s feasible that many Superman stories will take shape in the franchise. Given Superman is a significant IP for DC Studios, there is hope for a Man of Steel sequel to happen. Moreover, it seems clear that the next Black Adam appearance won’t be a showdown between him and Shazam but a duel between him and Superman. Moreover, it would be interesting to see how DC Studios revive the Justice League storyline and establish other characters associated with Superman including Ben Affleck’s Batman and Lois Lane.
There’s still time before DC Studios announce Cavill’s future in the franchise, but rest assured, the actor is back and as he claimed himself, his return in Black Adam is just the beginning of a promising and entertaining future of the beloved character in DC Universe.

Even Brooklyn Beckham has his "ups and downs."
ET exclusively sat down with the 18-year-old son of Victoria and David Beckham on Tuesday at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles, to celebrate the release of his photography book, What I See. During our interview, Brooklyn opened up about his No. 1 passion, what it's really like growing up Beckham and why he decided not to follow in his famous father's soccer footsteps.
Take one quick look through Brooklyn's Instagram and it's easy to see that the eldest Beckham boy clearly has an eye for photography. And his parents couldn't be more proud, especially after seeing his work honored in an art exhibit and published in his new photography book, What I See, out today.
"My mom cried," he revealed. "Like, the last day I was getting everything finished, like the paper material and all that. So, yeah, my mom cried. She's really proud."
Brooklyn said his dad also likes taking pictures, but his fashion-forward mama prefers being the focus." My mom likes getting her photo taken," he joked. "So it's not the same thing."
Next up, Brooklyn -- who admits he acts more like dad but looks more like mom -- will be heading to the Big Apple.
"I'm actually moving to New York in August to study photography for four years," he revealed. "I'm really excited. Photography is [it], that's what I really want to do."
"I mean, I love taking photos," he added. "So I think this is it for me. I've been interning for [British fashion photographer] Nick Knight, which was really fun, it was really cool to do. He's an awesome guy. He puts me to work!"
But just because he comes from a famous family doesn't mean he gets special perks. Brooklyn tells ET that growing up with a professional athlete as his dad and a former Spice Girl as his mom has plenty of advantages, but many disadvantages, too.
"I feel like it has its ups and downs," he confessed. "I feel like I get opportunities that most people my age don't get."
"But, like, I can't do what most 18 year olds do," he continued. "Like, I can't go out partying all the time, I have to work and get up early. So it kind of has its ups and downs."

Breaking down the session
After stretching and warming up, we quickly went over the mechanics of a backflip, which are pretty straightforward:
Step 1. Jump straight into the air using your legs and arms.
Step 2. Tuck your knees hard to your chest to create rotational momentum backwards.
Step 3. Spot the ground, extend your feet, and land.
I then worked through a series of exercises to progressively introduce each of these components.
I started by practicing “The Set”, which is the entry into the backflip and Step 1 from above. For this exercise, I focused on propelling my jump with well-coordinated, full-extended arms.
After completing the drill ten times, I felt that I had the necessary muscle memory to continue. Importantly, this muscle memory emphasizes jumping straight up, rather than backwards, which is a common mistake.
Once I was comfortable with “The Set”, I introduced Step 2 of the backflip: “The Tuck”.
For this drill, I again jumped straight up, but at my peak, I tucked into a backwards roll.
In the video, you’ll notice that I’m not jumping completely vertically. This is something that I worked on correcting in subsequent attempts before moving on to the next phase.
I completed “The Tuck” drill about eight times, until I felt comfortable with the movement.
Once I was properly coordinating “The Set” and “The Tuck”, I was ready to harness myself into the pulley, and practice spotting the ground and landing on my feet (Step 3 from above).
In the video, you’ll notice that I’m still whipping my head backwards on take-off, which is something I’ll need to address in future sessions.
Also, in the video, you’ll notice that my coach Elijah is tugging minimally on the rope. He’s not trying to assist, but rather, keep the harness fairly taut, so if I do panic in the air, he can pull hard and save me before I land on my head.
After filming a few attempts, Elijah recommended that I shoot an attempt in slow motion, so I can better analyze my form. Here’s a few things we noticed:
- I’m still whipping my head back
- I’m not fully extending my arms, which means I’m sacrificing some amount of power
- My tuck is pretty good, but could be a bit tighter
- I’m spotting the floor pretty well, but can probably start looking for it a little earlier (to ensure consistent landing)
In my next session, I’ll focus on addressing these technical problems.
During this attempt, it does look like Elijah gives me a little extra tug. As a result, I stick the landing. I’m curious to know how much this assistance is helping me…
At the end of the session Elijah said “If you weren’t so tired right now, you could easily land a backflip on the floor”. So, while the assistance helps, according to Elijah, I guess it isn’t necessary for me to succeed.
The Foam Pit
After around 12 backflips on the pulley, I moved to the foam pit, so I could get a sense for what an unassisted backflip feels like.
Unfortunately, in an attempt to avoid the edge of the tumble track, I put most of my jumping energy backwards, not upwards, so I lose the vertical height I need to land on my feet.
With that said, even in this case, I land on my knees, which means, if I continue to practice in this same way, I’m pretty far from landing on my head and hurting myself. Of course, I’ll continue to take precautions, but considering that backflipping is largely a mental feat, it’s a good thing to realize.
At the end of the 45 minutes, I was insanely sweaty, even though I didn’t feel like I was working hard during the session (I obviously was). I guess my adrenaline was compensating.
We’ll see how sore I feel tomorrow when I wake up.
Overall, though, it was a great first session. I definitely feel confident in my abilities to pull this off.

Batley have signed young centre Jack Broadbent on a month’s loan from Leeds.
The 17-year-old has yet to make his first-team debut for the Rhinos, but has made three appearances for Featherstone via dual-registration, scoring two tries.
Broadbent was born in Batley and played his junior rugby for Batley Boys, before moving to Dewsbury Moor.
The Yorkshire Academy Origin player scored 12 tries in 20 games for the Rhinos Academy last season.
Broadbent will be available to play for the Bulldogs in their upcoming games against Widnes, Toronto, Swinton and York.


Yesterday David Cameron said a Yes vote in Scotland would be like ripping a family apart — could this also have been an oblique reference to the rift brewing between his great friend, Times columnist Alice Thomson, and her brother Ben? He is head of the think-tank Reform Scotland and chair of cross-party grouping Devo Plus.
Alice, who Cameron cited in the Leveson Inquiry as one of the six journalists he is close friends with, is outspoken in her conviction that Scotland should stay within Britain, writing in her paper on Wednesday, “I can’t bear the idea of Britannia being decapitated next week. It will be bloody and brutal and we can’t let it happen.”
Ben, who lives in Edinburgh and is “a very close confidant” of Alex Salmond — and is widely rumoured to be in line for a plum position in his administration — thinks rather differently: “I would like to see fiscal power and welfare come to Holyrood.” Rivers of blood.Reuse content

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati considered, on Friday, that Hezbollah’s entry of Iranian oil into Lebanon on Thursday is a violation of the country’s sovereignty.
Mikati said during an interview with CNN, regarding the fear of sanctions on Lebanon after “Hezbollah” introduced Iranian oil, “I am sad about the violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty, but I have no fear of sanctions, because the operation took place in isolation from the Lebanese government.”
Dozens of tankers loaded with Iranian fuel brought in by Hezbollah from its main supporter, Tehran, entered Lebanon Thursday morning, coming from neighboring Syria, to the effect of popular receptions.
As part of its efforts to alleviate a severe fuel crisis that Lebanon is witnessing, with its ability to import declining in the wake of an accelerating economic collapse, Hezbollah announced last month that a first ship loaded with fuel would sail from Iran. The Secretary-General of the party, Hassan Nasrallah, said on Monday that it had unloaded its cargo at the Baniyas port in western Syria.
Regarding Hezbollah’s participation in the government, Mikati indicated that “the government is inclusive of most of the Lebanese spectrum,” adding, “We cannot carry out any reforms and negotiate with the International Monetary Fund without the approval and support of everyone… Hezbollah represents a segment of the Lebanese in Parliament.”
The Prime Minister stressed that “the government’s primary task is to stop the collapse and put the country on the path to recovery in preparation for the transition to addressing the economic, financial and life files.”
Mikati expressed his feeling of “relative satisfaction” because the government “contacted within seven days with the International Monetary Fund, which expressed its willingness to support Lebanon, and presented the electricity problem and proposals for appropriate solutions.”
Mikati spoke about his meeting Thursday with the head of the World Health Organization, who expressed the organization’s readiness to support the health sector in Lebanon, and its willingness to urge donor countries to provide aid.
Lebanon faces many urgent challenges, including the financial and economic crisis, the repercussions of the explosion of the Port of Beirut and the Corona pandemic, according to Mikati, who saw that “the current situation in Lebanon is similar to a patient in a very bad condition who is waiting to be admitted to the hospital emergency, after which he is transferred to the operating room for surgery if necessary, and then to Intensive care and then undergoes a period of convalescence before the final recovery … I regret to say that our country is still waiting for the hospital emergency.”
The government cannot “achieve the stage of recovery and recovery in eight months, which is the constitutional age of the government, considering that the government submits its resignation after the parliamentary elections that the government insists on holding on time,” according to the prime minister.
The Lebanese government is facing issues such as improving the energy and electricity situation, tackling the hydrocarbon crisis, securing medicine, and addressing the situation of the two sectors, as well as the hospital and educational sectors.
The new Lebanese government has vowed to tackle the worst economic crisis in the country’s history.
The new government came 13 months after the resignation of the government of Hassan Diab, following the horrific explosion of the port of Beirut on August 4, 2020, which killed more than two hundred people, injured more than 6,500, and destroyed neighborhoods in the capital, exacerbating the suffering of the Lebanese, of whom 78% now live. Below the poverty line.
Najib Mikati thanked the Iraqi government for supporting Lebanon with oil derivatives, and called on all Lebanese factions to adopt a policy of disassociation, and said that “Lebanon has not abandoned its Arab brothers and is calling on them not to abandon it.”
He stressed the existence of a French role in helping to form the government “without interfering in the details,” adding that France respects Lebanon’s sovereignty.
Regarding the investigation into the Beirut port explosion, he said, “We will not allow any obstacle to stand in the way of the investigation to find out the circumstances of the crime and hold those responsible to account, taking into account the constitutional and legal principles.”

Electric garbage trucks have gradually replaced fuel vehicles from recent years, which is also one of the future trends of social development.
Easy charging, low noise and zero emission have also become the advantages that electric garbage trucks have in the market.
As in urban waste transfer, garbage trucks need to start and stop frequently for transfer and loading operations, so garbage trucks are in a low-speed driving state, and the selection of models are generally screened from the vehicle working characteristics, speed, load and other requirements.
The use of electric garbage truck has greatly improved the work efficiency of sanitation workers, reduce the work intensity of sanitation workers, more humane electric garbage truck in the city's use of significance is great, it represents not only the electric garbage truck industry, but also the electric vehicle industry, a microcosm of the new energy sector, is a future trend of urbanization, but also a cultural city of a performance.
In front of the general trend, the promotion of new energy is also the necessary embodiment of green travel.
The three-wheeled garbage truck has the characteristics of energy saving, low cost and high flexibility, which is convenient for sanitation workers to collect garbage and debris at any time, and is a good helper in cleaning work.
So what are the precautions for using the three-wheeled garbage truck?
1. Do not intentionally lower the tire pressure when using the three-wheeled garbage truck.
2. Check the tires frequently for nails, damage, aging and cracking of rubber at the air door.
3. When passing through steep slopes, crossing more than four motorways or when the car gate fails on the way, you must get off and push.
4. Check the three-wheeled garbage truck battery box for corrosion and welding when in use.
5. Do not pull the vehicle or be pulled by other vehicles.
The above is a three-wheeled garbage truck use precautions, such as related issues can be concerned about the website consultation.

While there won’t be a special legislative session this fall on Medicaid expansion, there very well may be one on changing Utah election law – specifically SB54.
And that could end up a real dogfight – especially if GOP legislators try to throw party candidate nomination decisions back to party convention delegates if no candidate gets more than 50 percent of the primary vote.
Count My Vote leaders have already said such a move would violate the spirit of the SB54 grand compromise – where CMV agreed to stop its initiative petition in 2014 if legislators agreed to allow an alternative route to a party ballot via signature gathering by candidates.
GOP House members met in a four-hour caucus Tuesday night in the Capitol.
Tops on the agenda was Medicaid expansion. And they decided not to support the Gang of Six’s Utah Access Plus plan.
But there was a second agenda item – a special session in October or November on “election law reform.”
A cagy UtahPolicy reporter (me) grabbed up a copy of the talking points on that subject when Republican legislators left the room, and GOP leaders prepared for a press conference of Medicaid expansion.
One of the possible discussion points for the special session (which can only be called by GOP Gov. Gary Herbert) is what to do with a plurality primary vote.
The talking point says: “nominee is chosen by the political party.”
That would mean the law would be changed to say that if no primary candidate gets at least 51 percent of the vote, the party will pick the general election candidate.
And that, of course, blunts the CMV petition and SB54, which allows a candidate to bypass the party convention delegates to get on the primary ballot via gathering a set number of voter signatures – and thus can win his party’s nomination WITHOUT going before delegates.
CMV started its petition drive in 2013 in part because organizers believe party delegates are more conservative in the Republican Party, and more liberal in the Democratic Party than are party members-at-large.
Since Republicans control state government – and have for 35 years – the result is a Governor and/or Legislature that is more conservative than the GOP voters in general – something not good for the electorate, CMV backers believe.
One of the answers CMV came up with in their petition is that ALL candidates go to a primary ballot – party delegates would have no say at all.
Fearing the petition would be passed by voters – and looking for a compromise to at least allow delegates to have some say – SB54 was put together.
Its main points are here.
SB54 provides for a dual route to a primary: A candidate can take the traditional route via the delegate vote in convention, or a candidate can collect a set number of voter signatures to make the ballot, or he can do both at the same time.
The Utah Republican Party sued the state over SB54 claiming constitutional violations – the lawsuit goes forward.
While there was no agreement in SB54 over plurality winner in a primary, both CMV and SB54 collaborators agree, it was still assumed that the candidate getting the most votes in the primary – even if under 50 percent – would win.
At the very least, CMV leaders say, they would have never agreed to SB54 if they believed at a later date GOP legislators would throw a primary decision back to party delegates if no candidate got 50 percent or more in the primary.
Also on the special session elections agenda will be changing various candidate-filing dates so that a SB54 petition route filing deadline matches up with candidates going through the convention route.
Since time must be given to gather signatures, those candidates declare they are running Jan. 1 of an election year.
Traditionally, candidates don’t file until after the Legislature adjourns – early March.
The proposed changes would have all legislative candidates – no matter what route they take – filing at the first of the year or soon after.
That means sitting legislators would know who is running against them during the general session – and may be more inclined to vote one way or another on sensitive bills/issues knowing who is planning on unseating them in the coming election.
Or, if no one files against him, or no one from his party files against him, a sitting legislator may vote more freely on sensitive issues, like a tax increase.


David Bowie never leaves you, especially if you've had the otherworldly experience of working alongside him. So the band behind Blackstar, his last studio album, led by jazz saxophonist Donny McCaslin, are releasing their own album in tribute to their late, great hero.
Listen to Beyond Now a week ahead its release on Oct. 14. The album gets its title from an unreleased song from the Blackstar sessions and features two Bowie covers and original songs inspired by their time working with him.
Three more musicians -- bassist Tim Lefebvre, drummer Mark Guiliana and Jason Lindner -- who also performed on Blackstar appear on Beyond Now.
The band puts their spin Bowie's "Warszawa" and "A Small Plot of Land" and also covers Deadmau5, Mutemath and even the Chainsmokers alongside some original compositions. The energetic opening track, "Shake Loose," was inspired by the divine experience of listening to Kendrick Lamar with Bowie.
The ensemble's unreleased work with Bowie will appear on the Lazarus cast recording out Oct. 21.
The album is currently available for pre-order on iTunes and Amazon.

Germany, the current head of the European Union, has threatened to call for sanctions against Russia over the poisoning of Alexei Navalny, unless the Kremlin provides an explanation of its role in the use of the Soviet-era nerve agent Novichok against the opposition politician.
Russian opposition leader and anti-corruption campaigner Navalny fell ill on a flight last month and was treated in a Siberian hospital before being evacuated to Berlin.
Germany said last week there was “unequivocal evidence” that President Vladimir Putin’s top foe had been poisoned using the Soviet-era nerve agent Novichok.
“We have high expectations of the Russian government to solve this serious crime,” Berlin’s foreign minister Heiko Maas told German daily Bild. “If the government has nothing to do with the attack, then it is in its own interest to back this up with facts.”
If Russia does not help clarify what happened “in the coming days”, Germany will be compelled to “discuss a response with our allies,” Maas said.
Violation of chemical weapons law
The crime against Navalny was a violation of the international Chemical Weapons Convention and there must be an appropriate response, he said. “When we think about sanctions, they should be as targeted as possible.”
Western leaders and many Russians have expressed horror at what Navalny’s allies say is the first known use of chemical weapons against a high-profile opposition leader on Russian soil.
The Kremlin has denied responsibility for the attack and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Germany is yet to share any findings with Moscow’s prosecutors.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Sunday accused Germany of stalling efforts to probe the Navalny case.
London adds diplomatic pressure
Britain on Sunday said Russia had “a very serious set of questions to answer” about the poisoning of Navalny, suggesting some form of state involvement in the high-profile case.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said it was “clear” the Kremlin critic was poisoned with Novichok, which was previously used in an attack against a Russian former double agent in Salisbury, southwest England, in 2018.

Terming it “final-moment energy perform” by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, royal pro Neil Sean stated that courtiers instructed him immediately that Buckingham Palace was provided no thought what airplane Prince Harry agreed to vacation on or what working day and time he was arriving.
“Until we see him at the castle gates getting pushed up by the Fulfilled Law enforcement stability listed here in England, then we will not feel he is coming and that tragically is the experience of the king,” Neil Sean stated, incorporating that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “could get even far more publicity if he fails to exhibit up”.
Attacking the pair, the royal pro accused Meghan Markle of sitting down back again “idly ready for an apology from the royals for creating her pertinent and internationally well-known”.
“She declined the invite to the celebration of the ten years since she required to continue to be house for a 4-yr old’s birthday get together. Honestly, can anybody remember their fourth birthday?,” Neil Sean stated.
“I may possibly incorporate also the experience from the new staff pushing Meghan into the limelight — when yet again — would be a snapshot of her spouse Harry at the coronation with her little ones equally searching on adoringly lacking their papa, when he stands on your own in London, on a freshly introduced Instagram account,” the royal pro claimed, incorporating, “To complete off the PR plug, the textual content, I am instructed, will be a thing together the strains of getting, ‘So very pleased of her spouse and her children’, making sure the limelight — at the very least sprinkles — a minor in her path.”
The royal pro also claimed that King Charles required to invite the pair to United kingdom for Xmas final yr but was not ready to make contact with Harry.
“I can expose in truth they have been equally cordially invited way back again late final yr, with an provide immediately from the king, to commit the festive period with them and the family members,” he claimed, incorporating, “The fact is they experienced no thought at that time on how to get in contact with Harry as his mobile phone retains altering owing to ‘security’, so yet again not the fact but Meghan and Harry’s fact.”

<style=”font-size: 15px;” Tall and Tan and Young and…Vulnerable MY SKIN TONE IS NATURALLY DARKER (OR I’M LIGHT-SKINNED BUT TAN EASILY & NEVER BURN). SO I’M MORE PROTECTED FROM SUN AND LIGHT DAMAGE, RIGHT?SKIN SHORT: No. Dark-skinned people and lighter-skinned people who don’t tend to burn can get sun + light damage (hyperpigmentations and skin cancer). Protection is important for all ethnicities.
MORE SKINFO: Caucasians are still at the top of the list for melanoma cases. But late-stage disease is far more common among non-Caucasians. This means that while skin cancer occurs less among darker-skinned people, it does occur (read: you’re not immune) and it tends to be diagnosed later when the disease is deadlier.
The misguided belief that you’re protected from skin cancer because your skin is darker can make people more likely to dismiss warning signs like suspicious moles or pigmentations, or be less vigilant than they should be—like not wearing sunscreen regularly, or selecting a low-SPF and low-PFA sunscreen.
As with most cancers, catching melanoma early increases the chances of survival through removal and better prevention. Dark or light, it’s important for you to cover up, avoid the sun and see a dermatologist immediately if you notice unusual moles, growths or pigmentations.
On a less dire note, darker skins are more prone to melasma and other pigmentation problems like dark scars—which are caused by both outdoor and indoor light rays. So even if you don’t go out in the sun, wearing a sun and light screen every day, like Armada 30, 45 and 60 which are tested specifically for pigmentation conditions, is a good idea.

Glenn Frey’s Son Deacon Leaves The Eagles To ‘Forge His Own Path’
The Eagles shared an announcement about the band’s late guitarist and vocalist Glenn Frey’s son, Deacon, who replaced his father’s duties on their official Facebook account. The band members stated that Deacon decided to leave the band to start his unique journey as a musician.
Glenn Frey had struggled with his severe and various health problems, rheumatoid arthritis, pneumonia, and acute ulcerative colitis before his death on January 18, 2016, at 67. This news devasted his family, friends, bandmates, and fans worldwide, who spent their lives listening to his extraordinary voice. Also, they started to wonder whether The Eagles would continue to perform in the absence of Frey.
Shortly after, the band revealed that Frey’s son Deacon and Vince Gill would share the late musician’s duties in the band, so they started touring with new members. The band’s latest Hotel California 2020 Tour began on September 27, 2019, in Las Vegas and is planned to end in London on June 26, 2022. Before their concert on April 19, 2022, The Eagles shared a statement about Deacon Frey’s leaving the band.
The band highlighted that the younger Frey devoted himself to the group after his father, which was a tough duty for a young man like him, considering Glenn’s legacy. The remaining members highlighted that the singer wanted to ‘forge his own path,’ and they will always support Deacon as his family. They said the musician can always join them if he wants to do and asked their fans to wish Deacon the best for his new journey.
The Eagles’ Facebook post read:
“Deacon Frey has devoted the past four and a half years to carry on his father’s legacy and, after some weeks of reflection, he now feels that it is time for him to forge his own path. We understand completely, and we support him in whatever he wishes to pursue in the years ahead. In the wake of his dad’s demise, Deacon, at age 24, did an extraordinary thing by stepping from relative anonymity into the very public world of his father’s long, illustrious career.
We are grateful to Deacon for his admirable efforts, and we wish him well as he charts his future. Deacon’s Eagles Family will always be here to surround him with love, support, and goodwill, and he is always welcome to join us on stage at any future concerts if he desires. We hope our fans will join us in wishing Deacon the very best as he moves into the next phase of his career.”
Deacon Frey didn’t release a statement about the departure from The Eagles through his social media accounts yet. According to the band’s spokesperson, who shared details with Variety, they will not hire another musician during their ongoing tour; his bandmates will perform his parts instead.


Apple Inc. – the iPhone making giant – may not become an automaker, but it sure does want to develop its own automated technology for cars. There are reports that Apple’s automotive project focus has now shifted to creating the tech for a self-driving vehicle that does not require a human driver.
Apple really rethinking its automotive strategy?
It must be noted, that this new direction of the project has not foreclosed the probability that the tech giant might make its own car someday, but has cleared the way to partner with other automakers. A person with knowledge of the project confirmed the new emphasis on Friday after the New York Times reported that Apple is “rethinking” its car strategy.
Apple Inc. may have also laid off many employees working on its automated car efforts. As per New York Times, Apple has laid off dozens of employees working on its self-driving car efforts. One of the sources told Times that the Cupertino-based firm is “rethinking the strategy of its so-called Project Titan car initiative” and the employees were told the layoff was just a part of a “reboot.”
Recently, the Bloomberg reported that Apple had moved its focus from designing a full car to building out the technology for an automated car. So, these layoffs could be related to this.
Apple car efforts – are they real?
Apple has always refused to confirm its car ambitions, and made no official comment on this news as well. However, Tesla CEO – Elon Musk – said previously that the tech giant has hired hundreds of engineers, some even from the EV firm, to work on an automotive project. In early 2015, The WSJ first reported that the iPhone maker had several hundred employees working on an electric car. Many unmarked cars laden with sensor equipment and camera have been rumored to be owned by the tech giant as well.
Also, last year, the iPhone maker reportedly contacted the local officials in the San Francisco Bay Area for using a former naval base that has been converted into an automotive testing ground, say local officials. In addition, Bloomberg News and the New York Times have reported that Apple’s initial efforts to make its own vehicle have suffered from technical delays and management turnover. Industry experts believe, building a car is an unbelievably a complex challenge for all companies, even for the like of Apple Inc. , which has all the engineering prowess.
Tech companies want to build their own automobiles because they want people to continue buying and use their services and products, say analysts. Several leading car making firms have opened research labs in Silicon Valley, to work on the physical system, like sensors and other components, and the software needed for automated driving.
Other technology firm like Tesla, Uber and Googl0e, as well as, automakers like General Motors and Ford are working on their own autonomous vehicle efforts as well.

I am a professional composer, orchestrator and pianist with great experience in both making and teaching music.
I am eager to share the things that helped me flourish as a musician, that is, the study of orchestration in conjunction (or not!) with the world of Digital Audio Workstations, Virtual Instruments, Sample Libraries, Music notation software and much more!
I am confident that I can help you in your musical journey, whether you want to start making sense of how music works, through the study of music theory and harmony, or to learn in depth how to orchestrate for many different musical situations, including creating an extremely realistic sound through the use of Virtual Instruments and Sample Libraries.
I have a lot of relevant experience, having been teaching music for the past 17 years. I started as a piano teacher and through the years I went forth to teach also music theory and harmony, orchestration and midi orchestration, as well as the use of computers in music making and the relevant software that enhances and facilitates our musical creativity (like Digital Audio Workstations, Virtual Instruments etc.)
I am a professional composer, orchestrator and pianist from Athens, Greece, currently living and working in Paris. I studied classical and jazz piano, classical and jazz harmony and took lessons on counterpoint. I also studied film direction as I pursued my interest in visual arts.
I have composed music for documentaries, theater, short films, important public events, corporate videos, TV spots, audio theater CDs, CDs accompanying children’s books and more. In December 2013, I was awarded the 2nd prize at the most prestigious Greek songwriting competition.
As an orchestrator I have cooperated, among others, with the Contemporary Music Orchestra of the Greek National Broadcasting Corporation ERT and with the ERT National Symphony Orchestra.
However, I think that the best way to present myself, in a way that relates also directly to the lessons I am offering, is through my music. So, I invite you to visit my website at npapmusic dot com to listen to some of my compositions/orchestrations (please go to music/various compositions/cinematic compositions).

Superprof can also suggest musical education lessons to help you.
Learning isn't a problem, computer-aided music lessons for all!
Taking music production lessons has never been easier: you're going to learn new skills.

Kylie is the designer representing Happy Little Stampers and these are her cards to help inspire you:
Using Altenew's: Calming Reverie
"For this card, I stamped the base flower in Sky Blue Archival Ink. For the overlay stamp, I used black ink. Once I finished stamping, I fussy cut the entire flower. The leaves were stamped directly on to the card panel. I did the same with the leaves using Sap Green Archival ink and then overlaying with black ink. The sentiment was also stamped in black."
"I love this flower. The set is really easy to use. So, I decided to create a 2nd card. I stamped the flower twice in different colours but this time I used a grey ink for the overlay stamp."
Using Altenew's: Ninja Invasion
"How cute is this set! There is a lot of studying going on in my family at the moment so I decided this ninja on the computer would be perfect. The layering of these stamps is SO easy!"

The president's comments, the latest in a string of remarks about Flynn, go beyond prior suggestions by Trump that the retired general could be in line for a presidential pardon.
"I would certainly consider it, yeah.
I think he's a fine man," Trump told reporters, without specifying which role he might give to Flynn.
Flynn pleaded guilty to making false statements in a charge brought by then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
He is now insisting he did not lie and wants to back out of the plea.
Internal FBI documents turned over by the Justice Department on Wednesday showed FBI officials debated whether and when to warn Flynn that he could face criminal charges as they prepared for a January 2017 interview with him in the Russia probe.
Trump blamed Flynn's predicament on "dirty cops" and said the documents show Flynn was a victim.
"He's in the process of being exonerated.
If you look at those notes from yesterday, that was total exoneration," Trump said.

These spiced balls are a yummy twist on a traditional favorite. Sometimes I add mini chocolate chips to the dough and, after baking, dip the cooled cookies in melted almond bark. —Joanne Valkema, Freeport, Illinois
Meet the Cook: For birthday parties or outdoor barbecues, this is a hit. At times, I substitute strawberry or Neapolitan for the vanilla ice cream...either works fine, too.
My children used to love eating out at Mexican restaurants just so they could order fried ice cream for dessert. When I came upon this recipe, I copied it down quickly!
-Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon
Talk about a fun presentation! Karen Oney’s cute dessert looks just like a taco—but it’s stuffed with chocolate ice cream and topped with cherries and coconut instead of tomatoes and lettuce. “These are as much fun to make as to eat,“ promises the creative Fort Worth, Texas cook.
"Fried ice cream is one of my favorite desserts to order from Mexican restaurants," says Mandy Wright of Springville, Utah. "When my sister and I found this recipe for preparing it at home, we knew it would be an impressive way to end a meal."
This shortcut version of traditional flan is made with convenient caramel ice cream topping to reduce prep time. Since it's prepared in individual custard cups, the baking time in nearly cut in half.—Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin
I love to bake...in fact, my first try at baking "from scratch" is still vivid in my memory. I make a cake for Mom for Mother's Day—and forgot to put in the baking powder! This recipe brings back memories, too—when our two girls were young they often took these cookies to their Scout outings.

For candy bonbons:
Roll out 1 portion of dough into a 10 x 6-in. rectangle on a large piece of waxed paper. Cut in half so you have two 5 x 6-in. rectangles. Repeat with a portion of dough in another colour. Lay 1 small rectangle over the other colour. Roll into a log. Chill until firm, about 1 hour. Cut off 1 end to make a smooth edge. Cut into 1/4-in.-thick rounds. Lay 2 in. apart on baking sheet. Bake at 350F until edges just start to turn golden, about 10 min. Let stand on baking sheet for 5 min. Transfer to rack to cool completely. Wrap in cellophane. Makes 50 to 55 cookies.

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho – The Idaho National Laboratory is planning to help research how to increase manufacturing efficiency.
The Post Register reported that the Idaho Falls lab will be part of the Reducing Embodied-energy and Decreasing Emissions Institute, managed by the U.S. Department of Energy.
The institute will be headquartered in Rochester, New York, but DOE officials say more than 100 private partners are involved and research will occur at a number of facilities across the country.
INL researchers will focus on recycling and recovering metals, fibers, polymers and electronic waste.
DOE officials say the goal is to improve energy efficiency in recycling-related manufacturing by 50 percent over the next decade.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski hopes the public takes advantage of the ongoing 45-day comment period on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's draft Clean Water Act permit for the proposed Kensington Mine.
But she admits that the dialog in the House - where the Cape Fox Land Entitlement Act has been bogged in committee - will be impeded by party politics through the November presidential election.
"Bills that have any controversy are more difficult to get through when we have controversy at higher levels," Murkowski said.
Murkowski visited Juneau Saturday to make her first trip to Gold Rush Days. She spoke to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce in the morning.
Murkowski has proposed two amendments in the Cape Fox bill. One addition provides access to the highwater mark and beyond for purposes of visiting ancestral sites. Another amendment would guarantee the viewshed protection from any timber harvest.

As a wedding guest, the last thing you want to do is make things more imposing for the stressed-out couple. Planning a wedding is not a piece of cake after all. However, if you have true intolerance or allergies, this isn’t the time to be shy. When it comes to your health, do not feel embarrassed to let the happy couple know about your special dietary needs. Remember, they invited you to their wedding because they really want you to be there – they wouldn’t want you to fall ill on their wedding day.
Are you really allergic?
Okay, so the first thing to do is ask yourself, are you truly allergic to peas? Or you just simply don’t like peas? It’s an important distinction, and you need to be honest here. For example, if you don’t love tomatoes but aren’t allergic, or if you don’t like to eat red meat but are fine with the chicken or fish, don’t mention it. Pick the tomatoes out of your salad if that’s what it takes. There are always a lot of options so choose a meal that you will have no problem eating.
On the other hand, if you are truly allergic to something, let the couple know about it before the wedding. Growing up with the allergies is bad enough; you need not feel any embarrassment in requesting a healthy meal.
Share your dietary restrictions as soon as possible.
We recommend using your RSVP card for this purpose. You can choose a meal out of the meal options mentioned in the RSVP card and attach an additional note describing your allergies. This will help the couple choose a catering menu with dietary restrictions. If you’re allergic to an ingredient that’s commonly used like, wheat, onions, garlic, or dairy – include that in the note. Almost every appetizer contains at the very least one of the above mentioned ingredients (butter, butter, everywhere!). This will make sure that the caterer comes up with at least one main dish that you’ll be able to enjoy. In addition to the note, send a message or email to confirm that they got your note. Doing so makes it easier for the couple (and the caterer) to get in touch with you regarding any questions about what you can and can’t eat.
That’s all. Don’t get in touch with the couple regarding the catering menu with your dietary restrictions any more than that; they already have a lot on their plate.
A last word, do not forget to bring along your allergy medication as a precaution or prevention.
The Gils Elegant Catering staff is always notified of the special meal requests by the couple, however you are more than welcome to repeat the request upon your arrival.
