Arrival from Brussels
Years back when I started flight lessons to obtain my private pilot’s license I didn’t believe many hobbies could exceed the cost, aside from Richard Branson style activities like ballooning the world or circling the globe in fancy boats.
Everything I’ve done in between and since: commercial flying and travel, Spanish lessons, skiing, biking and photography, totals less per year combined than renting small planes and flying around the west every few weeks. For that reason I only fly sporadically with friends and instructors, but am still happy I learned..
Turns out there’s another super expensive fun hobby: Collecting old railroad cars. I was in Alamosa, Colorado for a weekend, at which time a group of private railcars owners were overnighting in town during their 2010 tour.
I initially thought the cars on a siding downtown were part of the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad, a tourist train which operates day trips through the San Luis Valley from Monte Vista to La Veta. On closer look I saw each car was a restored car from a past era – each with gleaming exteriors and beautiful interior appointments.
I was wanding around the tracks later that evening, admiring the cars, and chatted with several owners and their friends who were explained their group and trip while minding their cars.
This group was from the American Association of Private Railcar Owners. Their 2010 trip brought them to Albuquerque, touring to Raton (New Mexico), then Alamosa before heading over La Veta Pass to Pueblo then southeast to Amarillo. They have their cars delivered by attachment (renting space) on Amtrak or a freight company before link them together for the tour. At night they hang out on the
The stay on board their cars overnight, which are complete with bedrooms and galleys – a kind of luxury RV on rails. The only thing they didn’t have was an engine, so they relied on various companies to move them around, like Amtrak or in Alamosa they hired one of the Rio Grande Scenic engines to bring them down to Pueblo.
While I didn’t get invited on board any cars (they had family or friends with them) at night I could see the beautiful lamps inside, brass trim and curtains – amazingly restored to the early 20th century look they once displayed.
For myself as a railfan it was a real treat to see. Fortunately Alamosa is a small friendly town where no one’s concerned with tourists wandering around the small railyards.
The group was happy to engage my questions – the only thing I forgot to ask was where exactly one parks their railcar in the city. I certainly wouldn’t leave mine in urban railyard. Perhaps they roll it into a museum or something.
If you’d like to book a trip yourself they’re happy to share space: Here’s a list of future trips.
More photos below:
California Highway 74, or the Ortega Highway, is a thread of winding road passing through and over the Santa Ana Mountains to Lake Elsinore and the Temecula Valley.
I road tripped this Sunday morning, starting in San Juan Capistrano. After a few housing developments the road gains altitude, and becomes desolate and steep after Nichols Canyon. Nichols Canyon is home to the “Nichols Research Institute.” (Now the Quest Diagnostics Nichols Insitute,) some sort of biotech testing place.
Seven years ago I was on a similar road trip (sans camera) and I passed this building. Curious as to what was past the guard shack I simply drove in, knowingly waved at the security guard, and proceeded up the hill. All the doors were locked so I was only able to see a few buildings and lobbys, but there was a nice koi pond in the garden between the two buildings. You can barely see the secretive glass buildings atop the hill above the trees.
I was taking the turns at a moderate pace remembering warnings of “be careful – many accidents,” when traffic suddenly halted about 15 miles up. In no hurry I contently waited about 15 minutes. When we started creeping forward it was obviousy the accident had been a fatality, as they were loading the deceased into a van. Somebody’s life had ended here Sunday morning at 9:30am – while most likely out for a simple drive just like I was. Comments in the “Southwest Riverside News Network” and OC Register express the family’s emotions.
I stopped at the crest and took some pictures of Lake Elsinore, (above,) and a cool float plane down at the docks. I also swung by “Hells Kitchen,” a biker bar (I didn’t go in,) and “Lookout BBQ” – (it was closed.)
Driving through Lake Elsinore I stopped for coffee at the Circle K, and after pulling in noticed a flatbed tow truck with the mangled motorcycle, and a second two truck pulling a car – with no more damage than an out of place tire, deployed air bag and a crumpled front corner.
Eavesdropping I heard one of the drivers explaining the car was navigating a sharp turn too fast, came upon a slower car – and veered across the double yellow lines, (on a blind curve,) in order to slow down.
In the oncoming lane was a motorcyclist from Newport Beach.
In Lake Elsinore I enjoyed three tacos at Los Panchos, a Mexican restaurant and supermarket. I then headed back to Orange County via the 15, 91 and 241 freeways, instead of a return trip on Ortega Highway
I guess I should be pleased at this because it keeps the swine flu at bay, but I really don’t understand why people who ride Denver’s light rail trains insist on bunching up at the doorways and in the stairwell. (Bike guy excepted of course.)
There’s often plenty of room throughout the car, and standing in front of the doors only impedes those entering and exiting. On more than one occasion I’ve entered a car, elbowed into a pack, then realized ample space was found in the middle.
In this case from last week there were even multiple seats available.
For more subway/train etiquette tips read a favorite site of mine: Subway Blogger.com
And move into the car.
California is a great place. Living in California is also great, provided you work in or within three miles of your home. I was a Los Angeleno for five years. But eventually decided I didn’t want to spend my existence in a car, so I moved back to Colorado. Now I can bike most everywhere, can afford to fly out and VISIT my friends there, and with the leftover cash somehow stumbled into buying a house back when they were giving out loans to any misfit that wandered into a bank. (Surprise surprise – I still have my house.)
This project may alleviate what was the source of misery for myself and still is for many others: traffic and congestion. I spent some time poking around the site of the California High Speed Rail Authority. First time I’ve seen this – its a beautiful, sexy look at what “tomorrowland’ might bring us. The plan is to connect the urban areas of San Diego, Los Angeles/Orange County, and San Francisco and Sacramento by high speed bullet trains which will travel on grade separated routes at upwards of 200 miles per hour.
This site is chock full of extreme detail including routes, trip lengths and planners, station architecture and videos a plenty. It asks and answers almost every question about high speed rail in this region – from city selection to seismic concerns, and touts the benefits high speed rail has brought to countries around the globe. (As if we need to be told.)
The animations are enough to make any train geek (like me) salivate. Imagine riding from downtown L.A. to San Francisco in 2 hours and 40 minutes – speeding through the central valley farms and whizzing in and out of mountain tunnels. Imagine living in South Orange County and being able to maintain a job in downtown L.A. without sitting on the 5 freeway three hours each way. The interurban possibilities alone are amazing, and while not mentioned I see many opportunities for sprucing up connecting regional rail and improving transit inside of these metro areas too.
The good news is that this is one step closer to reality. In last week’s election voters approved Prop 1A, which will start funding for the project. This will be in the best interest given California’s current population of 37 million and the projections for future growth.
Here’s the general project video. Skip ahead since the first two minutes just goes on about how great California is. You can find more animations at cahighspeedrail.ca.gov Best part of the video: The guy clearly explaining “This is NOT Amtrak.”
Rather than wait until 2020 when projected to be complete, I think I would have quite the happy life just living Matrix style in this sexy urban virtual animation world created by Newslands and Company – the group behind these amazing video realities. So long as that hypnotic female voiceover follows me around.
For roadgeeks and those interested in signage and infrastructure…
These were taken while driving up the A10 / E22 motorway from Amsterdam en route to Bolsward, Freisland. The drive is only 120 kilometers.
After the Amsterdam suburbs in North Holland the motorway passes through farmlands while bypassing small towns. The Afsluitdijk (dike,) connects Noord Holland to Friesland.
The second group was taken biking up to the small island village of Marken, northwest of Amsterdam.
I haven’t driven this stretch in over 10 years when I moved to Denver from Michigan. Back then I would drive the full 1,200 miles straight through with numbing exhaustion setting right in around the most congested areas of Chicago and Indiana. Not one of my wiser moves in life.
Along with the Iowa 80 Truck Stop west of the Quad Cities, (pics forthcoming,) another interesting sight is this gigantic quarry southwest of Chicago just east of 294 North. Interstate 80 actually passed over and through it, and its dug out to what looks at least 200 feet deep on all sides. I’m not sure what they’re mining, but this Google map photo doesn’t do justice to the size. (It wasn’t a safe place to pop out for a photo.) It looks like one of those mines you see in South America when Modern Marvels is featuring the world’s largest trucks.
Among some memorable license plates are Michigan’s Child Abuse Prevention Plate which reads “Kids: Just Love ’em” I couldn’t find a picture but I always think – “Well yeah I should hope so…” And, this plate from Indiana.
I’m not sure if this plate speaks for the entire state, or is limited to the occupants of the car – but I guess it doesn’t matter since no foreign visitor has ever bother asked me whether “In God We Trust” on a quarter speaks for me or the entire country either.
For my friends and strangers over at misc.transport.road – some photos of interstate 70 as it winds Glenwood Canyon, Colorado.
I haven’t visited or posted to this group in a while, but there is a usenet board full of folks who are interested in roads, highways, and general infrastructure. If you’ve ever wondered about arcane topics like font styles on overhead signs, new versus old gantry design, and why highways and freeways are numbered the way they are it’s worth a visit. And like any good message board there’s plenty of heated arguments and flame wars too. I’m more into trains and aviation, but it’s very impressive to see the way flyovers and interchanges are designed and put together. Especially if you’ve ever navigated the 105/110 interchange in south Los Angeles.
Even if you’re not into it, it wouldn’t hurt for more people to go take photos of bridges, airports, and train stations in order to ensure your right to admire and photograph them still exist. For more info on Glenwood Canyon and the history of interstate 70 check out Mathew Salek’s comprehensive site.

Union Station is the terminus of the C, E and H light rail lines. At the west end of downtown is Union Station, which is on par for a major redesign as it becomes the hub for the Fastracks plan, which will expand rail services to the west and north surburbs, as well as the airport and Boulder, (which the “A” and “B” line designation is reserved for).
Currently the station for the C, E, and H lines is on the far side of the Amtrak boarding area on the east side, with a pedestrian tunnel through Union Station to the Lower Downtown (LoDo) neighborhood. To the west side of the station is Platte Park, an area that is being rapidly developed with new high rise condos surrounding Platte Park.
Also served is the major sports complexes: Mile High Stadium, the Pepsi Center, and Coors Field. A bridge is currently being built over interstate 25 to the Highlands neigbhorhood, which will allow access to downtown and the station via a short walk.

Billy Godleman had a previous T20 career-best 77
Billy Godleman’s T20 career-best score of 92 helped Derbyshire earn a comprehensive 20-run win over Worcestershire.
The hosts’ opener struck 10 fours and one six in his 66-ball innings, as Godleman shared an opening stand with Luis Reece of 135 before the former was caught off Daryl Mitchell. Derbyshire vs Worcestershire scorecard
Godleman was denied a maiden century when he was caught off the first ball of the final over as Derbyshire made 181-2.
Essex vs Middlesex
August 14, 2019, 6:55pm
Worcestershire’s chase got off to a terrible start as Riki Wessels was run out by Alex Hughes for a single but the away side rallied as Martin Guptill (45) and captain Callum Ferguson (37) shared a 73-run second-wicket stand.
However, the pair fell to Matt Critchley (4-36) within eight balls of each other as their chase fell short.
James Bracey’s maiden T20 half-century saw Gloucestershire cruise to a seven-wicket victory over Hampshire with 13 balls spare at Bristol. Gloucestershire vs Hampshire scorecard
James Bracey was playing in just his ninth T20 for Gloucestershire
Chasing just 140, Bracey and captain Michael Klinger shared a 102-run second-wicket partnership off only 70 balls.
Klinger’s innings of 40 off 38 balls included two sixes but it ended when he was caught off spinner Liam Dawson.
Having reached his fifty from 34 balls as he struck his eighth boundary, Bracey was removed when Chris Morris took a fine return catch but it proved to be too little too late for Hampshire as Ryan Higgins launched the penultimate ball of the 18th over for a six.
Earlier, Aneurin Donald made a blistering 44 off 23 balls and Sam Northeast added 26 but the rest of the visitors batting line-up struggled as they managed just 139-6.

Robert Trump, the president's younger brother, dies at 71
Robert Trump, the younger brother of President Trump, has died, per a White House statement Saturday night. He was 71.
What he's saying: Trump said in the statement, "He was not just my brother, he was my best friend. He will be greatly missed, but we will meet again."
The big picture: The White House confirmed on Friday that Robert Trump had been hospitalized in New York with an unspecified illness and that the president planned to visit him. The Trump Organization executive's cause of death was not disclosed.
- The president said at a briefing that day that he hoped his brother would be all right, noting: "He's having a hard time."
- Robert Trump was previously in an intensive care unit for over a week in June.
Of note: Robert Trump generally stayed away from the spotlight. However, he filed a lawsuit against Mary Trump, his and President Trump's niece, in an attempt to stop the publication of her tell-all book. But the memoir went on sale last month.
- Jack O'Donnell, a former Trump Organization executive, told the New York Times: "He was dignified, he was quiet, he listened, he was good to work with. He had zero sense of entitlement."
Editor's note: This article has been corrected to reflect that Robert Trump is Mary Trump's uncle, not father.

Stories in the Works: In Order of Priority:
Currently I've lost a lot of inspiration to write, many of the fanfics I was editing have now become really uninteresting to me so I apologize if there was something here you were looking forward to.
My school and work schedule has become rather tight and it's much harder to think of fanfic ideas so...I'm not going to be posting too much here anymore for a while. Bilbo and his Golden Lady won't be discontinued but until then, no more new things.
If anyone is interested though, I might be tempted to write oneshots for people (the Favourites Things area is the stuff I can definitely write about). And yeah. That's it.

This will be the sexiest Frankenstein movie in the history of the world! Sorry undead Aaron Eckhart abs.
We knew that Daniel Radcliffe had been cast to play Igor in the new Fox Frankenstein flick. But now a new British bit of man candy is joining the mad science story. Deadline broke the news that James McAvoy will be playing Dr. Victor Von Frankenstein in Paul McGuigan’s (Sherlock) monster movie. Also attached to this picture is screenwriter Max Landis of Chronicle fame, who mentioned that this Frankenstein movie will expose Igor's secret past.
Anyone else now rooting for some fanfic where Igor and Dr. Frank make out just for a little bit?

Samsung has the most number of foldable devices available in the market and this count will only go up next year. One of the upcoming devices is the Galaxy Z Flip 3. It will be a successor to the currently available Galaxy Z Flip 5G but if the latest report is to be believed, it will not be a proper flagship device.
As per GalaxyClub publication, the folks have stumbled upon a Samsung Galaxy device with model number SM-F720F. It is expected to the number for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 3. The "F" in the end represents that this particular model will be headed to the global markets including Europe. Since it does not have a "B" at the end, it will be the variant restricted to the 4G LTE connectivity.
It should be noted that it does not mean that there will not be a Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G variant. There is a possibility that we might see it as 5G is currently the buzzword in the town. However, Samsung could also decide to not launch the 4G LTE variant which will allow it to price the new foldable relatively affordable.
There are speculations that Galaxy Z Flip 3 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor. It is a predecessor to the current-gen Snapdragon 888 processor which might be another decision to keep the pricing low. It seems like Samsung wants it to cost less than $1,000 which is the minimum pricing for most foldable phones out there.

Douching Side Effects: So your boyfriend likes to go down on you and, because you want to make the experience more pleasant for him, you are now thinking of douching the vajayjay. Should you or shouldn’t you? What are the side effects, if any, of vaginal douching? Are there long term negative health effects that women should be aware of?
Well, curious internet friend, douching is BAD, BAD, BAD for you. Don’t do it! There’s no benefit in douching (unless you think a false sense of cleanliness is beneficial) and there’s a lot of health risks involved with the practice.
>> Related Post on Women’s Health: Intrarosa Side Effects
Here’s what the Office of Women’s Health of the US Department of Health is saying about dangerous douching side effects:
Most doctors and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommend that women don’t douche. Douching can change the delicate balance of vaginal flora (organisms that live in the vagina) and acidity in a healthy vagina. One way to look at it is in a healthy vagina there are both good and bad bacteria. The balance of the good and bad bacteria help maintain an acidic environment. Any changes can cause an over growth of bad bacteria which can lead to a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. Plus, if you have a vaginal infection, douching can push the bacteria causing the infection up into the uterus, fallopian (fuh-LOH-pee-uhn) tubes, and ovaries.
Our friend Irene discovered one of the negative side effects of douching when, after two months of “cleansing” herself, she developed a very bad yeast infection. Turns out that all that “cleansing” was flushing out the good bacteria which was keeping Candida albicans. For those of you wondering, Candida albicans, is what causes yeast infection.
Want to learn more about douching side effects? Here’s a very helpful FAQ prepared by womenshealth.gov:
What is douching?
The word “douche” means to wash or soak in French. Douching is washing or cleaning out the vagina (birth canal) with water or other mixtures of fluids. Most douches are prepackaged mixes of water and vinegar, baking soda, or iodine. You can buy these products at drug and grocery stores. The mixtures usually come in a bottle and can be squirted into the vagina through a tube or nozzle.
Why do women douche?
Women douche because they mistakenly believe it gives many benefits. Women who douche say they do it to:
- Clean the vagina
- Rinse away blood after monthly periods
- Get rid of odor
- Avoid sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
- Prevent pregnancy
How common is douching?
Douching is common among women in the United States. It’s estimated that 20 to 40 percent of American women 15 to 44 years old douche regularly. About half of these women douche each week. Higher rates of douching are seen in teens, African-American women, and Hispanic women.
What are the dangers linked to douching?
Research shows that women who douche regularly have more health problems than women who don’t. Doctors are still unsure whether douching causes these problems. Douching may simply be more common in groups of women who tend to have these issues. Health problems linked to douching include:
- Vaginal irritation
- Bacterial vaginosis (vaj-uh-NOH-suhs) (BV)
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Some STIs, BV, and PID can all lead to serious problems during pregnancy. These include infection in the baby, problems with labor, and early delivery.

CM to youth: Degrees validate capabilities but real challenges lies ahead
Chief minister Omar Abdullah said the students equipped with knowledge and understanding have to take on the world with confidence and determination "You are empowered individuals, but have social responsibilities", he said in his address at the convocation of the Jammu University on Monday.india Updated: Sep 01, 2014 20:43 IST
Chief minister Omar Abdullah said the students equipped with knowledge and understanding have to take on the world with confidence and determination "You are empowered individuals, but have social responsibilities", he said in his address at the convocation of the Jammu University on Monday.
"The degrees validate your intellectual capacities, capabilities and academic credentials and integrity. However, it's just the beginning as more significant challenges lie ahead," he said.
The CM said though the challenges before the students are immense, he has no doubt that they will make better world for themselves and also for the people.
Omar said the universities, to use a metaphor, is the hardware of the nature of development while the students and intellectuals are its software where both exist in a symbiotic relationship and find sustenance and nourishment from each other.
"No one is immune from the winds of change and those who do not master this change will be severely disadvantaged," said Omar.
Omar Abdullah said, "In the present new world order, we must shine within to radiate outward. We must allow wide space and scope for human agency and unleash the creative potential to attain new highs," he said.
The chief minister said that the state has great institutions of learning and development and the people are proud inheritors and legates of glorious intellectual traditions that go back to millennia.
"It is these fine traditions that we need to build upon and use them for a more vigorous transformation to keep us ahead in bringing change and new learning, which can happen when intellectuals work together to master the change and transformation," he said.

Clicking noise in a 27" iMac 2012
I have a clicking noise coming from my 27" iMac 2012 A1419 system
- I replaced Power Supply board
- Unplugged Cooler Fan
But noise is still same.
When i start CPU stress test, CPU temperatures go around 90~105 degree, i can hear this noise.
It sounds from Logic Board, i guess.
For testing, i unplugged the fan, but noise is same.
I think this noise is not related with Power Supply or Fan or HDD.
I recorded this noise.
After this noise starting , CPU temperature is down to 80 degree.
Is that a throttling noise?
In my imac, there is no HDD.
There is only SSD.
Finally, i solve this problem.
The problem was heatsink. i replaced the heatsink, and annoying noise and high temperature were disappeared.
I installed the old heatsink in another imac, and there were crackling noise and high temperature.
Esta pergunta é pertinente?
The sound appears to be more of a slapping sound than a discharge sound. Clearly someone is flapping around. I would look for a scrap of paper or loose tape within the fan. While you stated you disconnected the fan I'm not convinced you had, as I still hear it!
Well you had me stumped! 95~105 ℉ is within the normal range. I wouldn't have expected the coolant boiling would have made such a strange sound. Clearly you have a leak in the heat transfer pipe did you see any holes?

AC Milan and Real Madrid are locked in showdown talks over the future of Brahim Diaz and things seem to be moving alone well, a report claims.
Goal Espana (via MilanNews) writes how one of the priorities of the Rossoneri management in the upcoming mercato is to secure the return of Brahim Diaz from Los Blancos, a player who became a protagonist of the Rossoneri’s return to the Champions League and one who is highly esteemed by Pioli and his staff.
However, there is a slight issue arising from the fact that Real Madrid are also appreciative of his exploits as well as Milan, because the Spanish side judge his growth in Milan as very positive. The two clubs are nonetheless negotiating for the 21-year-old return to Italy but are still studying the formula.
That is because the Bernabeu side do not want to lose control over the player ideally and in this sense an agreement could be based either on a new loan or on a sale for €30m with a buy-back clause.

Preview — I Was a Teenage Fairy by Francesca Lia Block
I Was a Teenage Fairy
Maybe Mab was real. Maybe not. Maybe Mab was the fury. Maybe she was the courage. Maybe later on she was the sex . . .
A tiny fairy winging her way through the jasmine-scented L.A. night. A little girl caught in a grown-up glitz-and-glitter world of superstars and supermodels. A too beautiful boy with a secret he can never share . . .
From the author of Weetzie Bat comes a m...more
Fast forward 5 years and Barbie's a rail ...more
I read this story on a whim as I'm a lover of all things Fey. To say it wasn't what I expected is an understatement! Ms. Block takes a serious look at a sensitive issue-child molestation and throws a few other wrenches in as well.
Barbie, a child model molested by a photographer at age 11 discovers she has the ability to see Mab, a small fairy that only appears to her. Barbie develops a relationship with Griffin at age 16, both sharing the same experience with the same photographer ...more
Sometimes I think Lia Block's words can never be translated into movies and pictures; other times, I can't help but wonder at the factor by which her book's awesomeness would be increased were it made into a movie with music and whispers and fast breaths.
I eventually purchased the book. I'm not sure h ...more
This book was interesting because it was unclear how Mab was to be interpret ...more
This is a good story and everything--surprise!--turns out fine. I'm still not convinced that being a beautiful butterfly pinned to the corkboard of life is the cruelest fate that can visit a teenage girl, and I'm still not convinced this subject hasn't been done to death, maybe because I was a teenage changeling and have difficulty relating. And I'm really not su ...more
The main character feels put-upon by the world and the struggles she's had to face so Mab (real or imagined) is there to spar with her and encourage her when there is no one else she feels she can trust.
And come on, what teenage girl didn't wish at some point that there was a special fairy or guardian angel to ke ...more
I loved how this book was the perfect mix of sweet and sour and how everyone got a happy ending.
Enchanting book cover with an enchanting story that will surely swoop your mind.
I'm actually having difficulty on how im going to explain what i've just read all about.
It's complex in a way on how Mab, the tiny fairy played a big role on Barbie and Griffin who's life aren't perfect as to what other people see. The 2 teenagers have different issues going on in their personal lives and were still haunted by their dark past.
Maybe Mab was the sex, the courage, the voice; or maybe she just...more
I did enjoy this book, despite the heavy subject ma ...more
What I liked: I thought the book had a wonderful underlying message. It ended on a high note which is something I was not sure was going to happen. The characters undergo some major issues, and actually find a way to work through it.. kudos for that.
What I did not like: I found the book hard to get into with it starting with a mass of descriptions that I am still not ...more
But let’s talk about what I do love about I Was A Teenage Fairy. The prose is wonderful. I love the personifications of LA and the San Fernando Valley as her little sister, and New York as their cousin. I love the world that Block creates: it’s not a magical world, but there i ...more

text: Economic development has not kept pace with rapid population growth. This factor, in combination with the prolonged drought, has produced a sizable outflow of emigrants. By the early 1990s there were some 600,000 Cape Verdean emigrants in the US, Europe, Latin America, and other African countries. Some 325,000 were in the US alone—mostly in New England. Remittances to Cape Verde from emigrants enabled many of those who remained in the islands to survive the drought. In 1998, Cape Verde received some 2,000 Bissau Guineans when violence erupted in Guinea Bissau. Of these, about 1,500 left for other countries. At the end of 1998, some 500 refugees remained at two refugee centers, Trinidade and San Jorginho. Between May and August 1999, 500 refugees returned to Guinea Bissau. In 1999, the net migration rate for Cape Verde was -12.35 migrants per 1,000 population.

“Enter the void” is a wonderfully mad film, experimenting with the subjective, which could possibly be the next breakthrough in screen storytelling.
This daring experiment in visual representation of consciousness is based on three devices: camera as a point of view, compression of key emotional memories, camera floating above after death.
During the Q&A Noe brings up studies of how brain stores memories, how consciousness reacts to visual stimulus, possibilities of using 3D to better represent life experiences on the screen. One sentence from his talk particularly jumps at me: “in many respects the future is more real that the past.”
While “Irreversible” had a 3 page long script and was done on the fly, “Enter the void” was written in 103 pages during several years. Yet, the structure in “Irreversible” is stronger. There are at least two possible explanations of that:
Perhaps it was meant to be like this. For Noe (at least from what he is saying) “The Void” was to be like a trip, with all pluses and minuses of a trip including an oppressing length (‘my trips were always too long”) and certain meandering. So it is rather an exercise in a state of mind than an exploration of the flow of our lives (which seems to be the theme of “Irreversible”.)
Noe believes in spontaneity and removal of any obstacles to the “creative flow” - he is his own camera operator and insists that the energy has to come to the set at the last minute. Yet, such directorial spontaneity did not seem to translate into the writing spontaneity/freshness and so the basic structure got surprisingly predictable in the long time it took to write/prepare the film. Noe “overcooked” the storyline a bit. If his directorial freshness could be applied to designing (writing) of such technologically complex film as “Enter the void” it could mean revolution not only in screen storytelling but also perhaps a step forward in our self-understanding.
“Essential Killing”, script: Ewa Piaskowska, Jerzy Skolimowski,
DP - Adam Sikora, directed by Skolimowski
DP - Adam Sikora, directed by Skolimowski
Upon disappointments with “The Social Network”, “Inception” or the latest “Harry Potter” I rejoiced with “Essential killing”, almost danced upon seeing it. Cinema is not over! New paths are possible.
The other films felt tired, used up, artificially jazzed up, whereas the Skolimowski’s latest brings in zest, energy and aliveness. It displays humbleness about the events being told. The storyteller of this film does not present himself as smarter than the story. He follows it with respect, with his eyes wide open and ears ready to receive signals that are not predetermined by narrative cliches. In "Essential Killing" there are questions rather than answers. There is openness rather than arrogance. Empathy rather than pushiness. The film does not feel calculated and displays naturalness, mystery and poetry. At the same time there are moments which rise eyebrows in the plausibility department. If that’s the price for the overall energy, so be it.
Reality in Skolimowski's hands gets more penetrating treatment than in those other extravaganzas. I do not think it is only because “Essential killing” is not a Hollywood film and as such can afford to be a more genuine representation of what life feels like. (After all there are Hollywood directors who do not talk down to audiences.)
Conclusion: If a plot is unclear, muddy and or spotty (that’s the case with the four mentioned titles) it may be better to pay less attention to justification of such undercooked structures and instead focus on life and emotions contained within them. Creating scenes that (supposedly) explain psychological or plot intricacies usually reduces sequences to mechanical statements dutifully strung together. Skolimowski does not care much for that - instead he focuses on life which floats in front of the lenses. Thanks to that his screen pulsates with vitality so rare in today’s fiction cinema.
"The Social Network"
writers: Aaron Sorkin (screenplay), Ben Mezrich (book)
director: David Fincher
“The Social Network" is a nicely packaged empty shell. Here, I said it. The film upon its first viewing left me at best indifferent - surely the craftsmanship was there: scenes were wonderfully put together, each layer of the film worked by itself, the DP knew how to light a scene, the director made sure there were not empty narrative spaces, the composer felt the drive, most technicians deserved Oscar nominations for their contribution, yet all together was ... well... lame. Trite.
I felt bad since everybody on the planet went bananas over the flick. So I decided to give it a second try. My reaction was the same. My cinema screening companion at first refused to comment, then she said something to the effect that “the film cleverly puts you in the brainless state of mind similar to that which results from hanging out for a while on the net”. An intelligent remark, yet still with a negative vector, I suppose.
My biggest beef with the film was that it seemed to cheapen something that I felt was profound and truly exciting - the hero and the story of his battles. Instead of showing wide and deep dimension of the amazing technological and cultural revolution the film distilled it down to the issue of who among the players was a bigger dickhead.
Call me naive but I refuse to believe that such great thing as Facebook could be achieved by a bozo. A very gifted, even inspired computer science maverick, yet still a bozo. So I looked at some videos of the real Mark Zuckerberg. Surprise, surprise. The film critics rave about the performance of Jessie Eisenberg. I am sorry but any given beat with the real Zuckerberg brings in more zest, light, focus and drive than the entire two hours of the film. The two hours which, granted, due to the superb skills of the filmmakers, fly very quickly. Still the screen rendering of Zuckerber felt inadequate and even offensive to the spirit of the real Zuckerberg. Judging by the material on the net, the film storytellers flattened the character of the hero, flattened his motives, flattened the plot, - all in a very glossy way. (McDonald De Luxe does not make a gourmet meal.)
I felt terrible, not understanding the enthusiasm pouring from film critics I valued and liked. Being on the edge of depression I goggled for “The Social Network negative reviews” and discovered Armond White, a major New York professional film critic. He didn't like the film. He even championed (causing wide ridicule) “Transformers 2” by Michael Bay, one of my favorite directors. “You may be thinking against the tide but you are not entirely alone.” - I prepped myself. Then I discovered that Mr. White considered my hero Gaspar Noe a fraud and a fake and that he trashed “There will be blood”, to me a true masterpiece.
I was alone again.
"Tess", screenplay by Gerard Brach, Roman Polanski, John Brownjohn,
based on the book by Thomas Hardy, directed by Polanski
Kevin Warwick from Reading University, UK, experiments with electronic enchantment of human senses. He hooks himself into a nervous system of his wife - which results in him knowing what she feels, or connects his system to a third, artificial arm which he can mentally control. He ponders how allowing our nervous systems to electronically read roentgen or ultraviolet radiation could change our perception of reality. Prof. Warwick assumes that since our inferior senses cut us off from 95% of electromagnetic radiation, for all practical reasons, we are death and blind. Furthermore, that which reaches our brains is represented via a very clumsy and primitive four dimension scheme. Thus, reality remains not-penetrable.
Enters Roman Polanski with Tess. The film uses techniques that seem to advocate a Warwick like approach to reality: throughout our lives we are subjected to huge forces which we only occasionally are aware of. In Tess these external forces present themselves in dreams, yearnings, premonitions, in sensitivities of animals and peculiarities of our fates. Those of us who are more attuned to that which is not blatantly seen and heard are weirdoes, aliens, Tesses (“sometimes we can make our souls leave our bodies”.) Society does not take liking to such creatures: Tess has to be sacrificed on the altar of Stonehenge to the god of Sun.
Polański said somewhere that for him each scene has to address more that just one element of plot, one plot point. This multidimensionality of events steams evenly during the unfolding of the story. Most beats seem to posses larger meaning than that of their immediate function in the story. We sense this via many narrative techniques: upcoming occurrences sneak themselves into events currently presented, scenes, backgrounds, actions return revealing their usually darker, tragic layers. The repetition of situations brings disaster. The second carriage - husband chasing scene throws Tess into the miserable relation with the fake d’Uberville, the second wedding night with Angel brings their capture and her death. Many key points in advancing the story - the decision to visit d’Ubervilles, a child delivery, christening of this child, his death, are not shown directly. The web of destiny is too permeating and ever present to naively zero in on its obvious singular manifestations.
Visually, characters are introduced with much delay (Tess, Angel) as if also emerging from a web of emotionality that hoovers over that which is. Emotions emanate outward into surroundings, or surroundings mess with the sensitivities of characters - the rows of maturing cheese hanging in the cellar are nothing less than the souls of young woman sleeping in the room above, the furious working of the threshing machine is the troubled and pained psyche of Tess. The forces that trash us are either social (Angel reads “das Kapital” and acts as its blind and idealistic follower) or metaphysical.
Tess gives a noble fight. Twice during her ordeal the storytellers (Polanski and the composer Phillipe Sarde) point their fingers at her struggle suggesting (inner) triumph. The same glorying music comes during her burring the child and her “burying” herself in the forrest. The second “advancement” is additionally attested by the appearance of a deer. A quite metaphysical, (approving?) deer, as if a messenger of the gods.
Polanski subscribes to “American Science”, has a predilection for clear, rational thinking, sneers at attempts to interpret his work through some cheap spiritual lenses, is furious when journalists suggest connections between his life and subject matters of his films (particularly Rosemary’s Baby). We may therefore safely assume that his storytelling perspective displayed in Tess is not a nod to some superficial “new age” leftovers but rather is a result of analysis of the forces that shape our world, the analysis coming close to possible future extended sensory perception suggested by prof. Warwick.
The difference is in timing: Warwick works to make additional sensory perception accessible to all by technological means, Polanski suggests the possibility of knowing right now more than is given by our five senses. It can be done through a properly constructed screen tale.

This can lead to the development of an improper bite, where uneven pressure is put on your remaining teeth. Not only may you face have a sunken in look but the shape of your face may change. Most importantly, your risks for developing gum disease and future tooth loss increase. If you have a question about how tooth loss may be affecting your dental condition and current health, call (630) 381-1414 for your private consultation.

XXXTENTACION‘s short-lived career was marred by disturbing allegations of domestic violence brought forward by his ex-girlfriend, Geneva Ayala. The Florida rap star denied the allegations until his death in 2018, resulting in Ayala facing horrific treatment at the hands of his fans.
But in the upcoming Hulu documentary Look At Me: XXXTENTACION, which premiered at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival on Tuesday (March 15), one particularly powerful scene sees the late rapper’s mother, Cleopatra “Cleo” Bernard, meeting with Geneva Ayala to address her son’s alleged abuse.
According to The Daily Beast, their emotional sit-down took place at Bernard’s home a year after X’s death, and found her acknowledging the physical and emotional harm her son inflicted on Ayala while she was pregnant.
Look At Me: XXXTENTACION explores how Jahseh Onfroy became SoundCloud rapper @xxxtentacion who made a mark on his generation before his death. On June 10, stream #XXXTENTACIONdoc. pic.twitter.com/wTCS0vqJzs
— Hulu (@hulu) March 15, 2022
“My son is no longer here, and I feel like it’s up to me now to make amends and try to right his wrongs as much as I can,” Bernard told Ayala, who was 21 at the time. “I would actually like to hear you tell your story because like I said, my son died, and he’s never admitted it to me — I don’t think he would want me to see him in that light or know that side of him.
“Jahseh was wrong for what he did. There’s no excuse for that, period. But I just want the world to know that he wasn’t that same person anymore, but the past is still part of his story.”
She added, “I’m not going to hate her. And my son is not here, and I don’t think she should be mistreated in any way. This is about his legacy, and she was the love of his life, and she was a part of that legacy.”
Ayala shares in the documentary that their conversation meant a lot to her, describing it as a weight finally being lifted knowing that XXXTENTACION’s family doesn’t hold a grudge against her.
XXXTENTACION was arrested in October 2016 on charges of aggravated battery of a pregnant victim, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment and witness tampering. The “Look at Me!” rapper allegedly beat, choked and threatened a pregnant Geneva Ayala during their relationship.
In one incident recalled by a friend in the documentary, X became irate when Ayala laughed at another man’s joke and proceeded to hold her head under water in the bathtub in attempt to drown her.
In a secret recording captured by an acquaintance around the time of his arrest, XXXTENTACION was heard making threats against his ex-girlfriend, who he believed had cheated on him.
“I started fucking her up because she made one mistake,” he confessed. “And from there, the whole cycle went down. Now she’s scared. That girl is scared for her life. Which I understand.” He also said, “I will kill that bitch if she play with me.”
October 16, 2020
X pleaded not guilty to the crimes and was awaiting trial at the time of his June 2018 murder. The case was closed the following month in light of his death.
Premiering exclusively on Hulu on June 10, Look At Me: XXXTENTACION “explores how Jahseh Onfroy tapped raw talent, a gift for connecting with disaffected youth, and a mastery of social media to fashion himself into SoundCloud rapper XXXTENTACION — one of the most streamed artists on the planet,” according to the synopsis.

Last Wednesday night, Special Collections & Archives collaborated with Stephen Edwards and the folks from Alumni Engagement to host an alumni, friends, and family version of “Hop Into History!” Hop Into History is the brainchild of UNCG University Archivist Erin Lawrimore and involves coordinating a pop-up archival exhibit at a local brewery. Archivists from UNCG, Elon University, Guilford College, and Wake Forest have participated in multiple “Hops” in Greensboro since 2016.
The Office of Alumni Engagement loved the idea and began brainstorming how we can use the same premise to bring alumni together. What they planned was a huge success! Almost sixty WFU alumni, friends, and family members attended the “Hop Into History- Wake Forest Athletics” at the Foothills Tasting Room to enjoy a beer, eat crepes, and enjoy materials from the University Archives. Tanya and I brought a wide variety of materials including trophies, basketball shoes, Howler yearbooks, Old Gold & Black newspapers, pictures, programs, and more. Alumni had a great time connecting and enjoying the materials from the University Archives.
The future of “Hop Into History” is bright! We have already been organizing “Hops” in Winston-Salem with the archivist from Winston-Salem State University. Our next Hop Into History is at Hoots Roller Bar & Beer Company on Tuesday, June 20th from 5-7. All are welcome! We will continue to work with the Office of Alumni Engagement to bring Hop Into History to WFU alumni, families, and friends across the state. We hope to see you at our next “Hop!”

Super Eagles winger Moses Simon was on target for Gent who defeated visiting Mouscron 3-1 in the Belgian top flight on Friday.
Mouscron’s goal was scored by Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi who is on loan from Liverpool.
Simon put Gent 1-0 up in the 29th minute but Awoniyi equalised for Mouscron on 35 minutes.
Gent went 2-1 up thanks to Yuya Kubo’s 39th minute goal before Dylan Bronn sealed the win for the home side on 74 minutes.
The goal was Simon’s fourth in 13 league appearances, while Awoniyi’s goal was also his fourth in 14 league games played.
Also in action for Gent were Anderson Esiti and Samuel Kalu. Kalu was later replaced with 15 minutes remaining.
The win took Gent to sixth on 22 points in the 16-team league table. Mouscron occupy 11th spot on 19 points.

Let us see if we can follow how the descent into hell all began for Obama. Let us start with Community organizer Saul Alinsky and his friend the Devil and as in all evil, work backwards from there.
Alinsky's paragon of radicalism was Satan, to whom he dedicated the first edition of "Rules": "Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer."Yes. And what a kingdom it was where men and women are eternally tormented. So I guess if the Community Organizer wins we have something to look forward to.
Did you know there is a letter going around praising the virtues of Camp Obama?
While the letter neglects to identify the source of that "experience," a slide on a camp blog linked to the Obama Web site offers a clue. Underneath a "Welcome to Camp Obama" banner, a trainer at Obama headquarters in Chicago is seen speaking next to a wipe board with the words "Saul Alinsky" scrawled across it.So what does Obama have to say about his Alinsky experience?
Alinsky is the late Chicago socialist and street agitator who is considered the father of community organizing.
Another slide of a camp trainer identified as Mike Kruglik is equally telling. Kruglik happens to be the Alinsky disciple who first taught Obama hardball organizing tactics on the South Side. He was Obama's boss in the '80s. Kruglik now works for the Chicago-based Gamaliel Foundation, which trains and deploys radicals across the country.
Kruglik once declared Obama "the undisputed master of agitation," according to David Freddoso, author of the best-seller "The Case Against Barack Obama."
Obama calls his Alinskyite experience "the best education I ever had."Just the kind of guy most people want to see elected President of the United States. Make sure all your friends see this. So they can vote for the right guy.

Rieckermann upgrades control system for food processing line using Siemens Automation Technology
Rieckermann has successfully upgraded the control system of a nugget frying line with the installation of Siemens Automation Technology for a customer in Thailand. The automation was integrated into the control system cabinet that controls machine equipment, such as oil circulation valves, chain conveyor speed and the heater for the processing line.
The requirements of the end customer focused on field level signal exchange and operator convenience, both in relation to ease of operation and to the recording of production data. In their legacy system, there were many buttons, contactors and wires located inside the control cabinet. As it had no human to machine interface (HMI) or automatic control by programmable logic controller (PLC), the system could only be handled by an experienced operator.
Rieckermann helped to upgrade the system to make it more user-friendly and automated, using the SIMATIC S7 PLC and HMI technology by Siemens. The customer had installed three large cabinets in the operator room and one small operator panel close to the production line. The panel displays the process and graphics on a screen, providing an easy to handle system.
Rieckermann’s automation team performed the hardware design and the software programming for the system, whilst the control panels were fabricated and assembled under their supervision by a subcontractor in accordance with electrical diagrams. Rieckermann also carried out quality control and FAT of the panels, as well as installation, commissioning, and training. Their technical engineers are well-versed in the hardware and software and have the necessary expertise for understanding customer requirements. Their locally present technical service team in Thailand are able to service the machine on site and can easily supply replacement parts if required.
An additional function of the automated system is that the processing line can be controlled remotely from any location outside the factory. However, this was not a requirement for this particular project.
The first order for an upgrade was placed by the customer in 2017 and installed in the same year. The current enhancement of the factory, with follow-up orders for the same system, has just been successfully completed.


ABC and NBC sustained their refusal on Friday morning to cover a new report from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that found oil and natural gas fracking does not cause harm to the country’s drinking water.
After all three networks omitted any mention of the study on their Thursday evening newscasts, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today continued that pattern while CBS This Morning broke through and provided a new brief on the topic.
During the program’s daily segment that highlights newspaper headlines from across the country, co-host Charlie Rose reported the following in a brief that lasted only 19 seconds:
The New York Times says a report the Environmental Protection Agency finds there is no evidence hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has a widespread effect on the nation’s water supply, but the report does say the techniques used for oil and gas extraction have the potential to contaminate drinking water.
Surprisingly hailed by the Times as a “landmark” study, its findings deal a major blow to the Obama administration and environmentalists who have long argued that fracking can cause damage to the water supply in communities where drilling is taking place. It noted that only in situations with poorly constructed wells or improper treatment of waste can fracking lead to problems.
Here’s more from the Times article (which appeared on page 12 of the front section in the Friday print edition):
It notes several specific instances in which the chemicals used in fracking led to contamination of water, including drinking water wells, but it emphasized that the number of cases was small compared with the number of fracked wells.
The agency has been working on the study since 2010, when it was requested by Congress.
Fracking, the use of which has increased sharply over the last decade, has led to a boom in American oil and gas production, putting the nation on track to be the world’s largest energy producer. Fracking has also created many jobs, driving new economic growth in states like North Dakota.
Instead of even giving similar coverage to this story (as CBS did), ABC’s Good Morning America devoted one minute and 12 seconds to reporting how a New York City plumber had hid a lottery ticket in a pipe that he later found to have been a winning ticket worth $136 million. Over on NBC’s Today, the co-hosts spent one minute and 26 seconds discussing the top wedding songs.
The transcript of the news brief from CBS This Morning on June 5 can be found below.

[ON-SCREEN NEWSPAPER HEADLINE: New York Times; Fracking Has Not Had Big Effect on Water Supply, E.P.A. Says While Noting Risks]
CHARLIE ROSE: The New York Times says a report the Environmental Protection Agency finds there is no evidence hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has a widespread effect on the nation’s water supply, but the report does say the techniques used for oil and gas extraction have the potential to contaminate drinking water.


The above photo is what the river in Woodstock should look like this time of year. Low, and barely trickling down stream. Instead, it’s a raging brown river filled with debris flowing higher than it does even at it’s peak in the spring during mud season. If you’ve seen the news this week, you probably know what’s going on in Vermont.
There has been catastrophic flooding all over the state. We fared ok at our house in Woodstock, we are still on a boil water alert, but many places did not. Some businesses in town were devastated by the storm. Some communities will take years to recover. The community and the state has come together, but this week was a reminder that no one and nowhere is immune from the effects of a warming planet.
Wishing you all a good weekend. Wishing for some sun and a little less precipitation for those of us in need of a reprieve.

George Bush's big-government conservatism: Can't last. Between 1998 and 2001, America's federal government ran a surplus on its accounts. The prospect now is of years, even decades, of deficits. Is that scary?
Spending on pensions pales in comparison with health care. The range of estimates is necessarily vague, since they involve assumptions about the future rate at which health-care costs will grow faster than per-head GDP each year: since 1970, the "excess-cost growth" for retired people on Medicare has been around 3%. The CBO calculates that, if future excess-cost growth of both Medicare and Medicaid was only 2.5%, then federal spending on these programmes would jump from 3.9% of GDP in 2003 to 21% in 2050.
It is clear that holding back the growth in non-entitlement (or "discretionary") programmes, such as defence and transport, will not be enough to ensure a sustainable budget in the long run. Unless entitlement programmes are cut too, or taxes raised to unprecedented levels, or both, the country is on a financially unsustainable path over the next half-century. "An ever-growing burden of federal debt held by the public", the CBO concludes, "would have a corrosive and potentially contractionary effect on the economy."
Check out what they're saying:
- no increases in spending for transport and defence
- cuts in Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security
- higher taxes
All for the forseable future, maybe for decades to come.
This is one reason why I don't think a "Pax Americana" can work, there's just no money for it. The economy needs to grow, and grow a lot, just to keep things stable, and taxes have to rise.
What do you think? Is this overly pessimistic, and is there a way out? Or is this a cold dose of reality?

Coinbase has lost my money twice now. Once was due to an old account that, thanks to a bug in their verification process, I cannot re-authenticate. I bought 1 bitcoin back when they were only about $50 each with Coinbase. That money is gone forever now. And I acknowledge that it’s my fault that I did not set up a forwarding email with Coinbase, their support just refused to help. The second time was a month ago. I made a trade on Coinbase, and for some reason, the app glitched to think I have 5x more money than I actually… Read more »
Can I convert Bitcoin to cash in India
Coinbase had announced in late September that it is looking to quickly add new cryptocurrencies that meet its standards and meet local law compliance. The exchange recently started supporting Ethereum Classic, and now there’s talk that it could list Ripple as well. The exchange has justannounced that Coinbase Custody, its branch providing custodian service for institutional investors, is now adding support for Ripple (XRP).
What does Bitcoin volume mean
On February 16, 2018, Coinbase admitted that some customers were overcharged in error for credit and debit purchases of cryptocurrencies. The problem was initiated when banks and card issuers changed the merchant category code (MCC) for cryptocurrency purchases earlier this month. This meant that cryptocurrency payments would now be processed as "cash advances", meaning that banks and credit card issuers could begin charging customers cash-advance fees for cryptocurrency purchases. Any customers who purchased cryptocurrency on their exchange between January 22 and February 11, 2018 could have been affected. At first, Visa blamed Coinbase, telling the Financial Times on February 16 that it had "not made any systems changes that would result in the duplicate transactions cardholders are reporting." However, the latest statement from Visa and Worldpay on the Coinbase blog clarifies: "This issue was not caused by Coinbase."
Is PayPal safe to link bank account
The platform stores 98% of customers funds offline to ensure the security of the cryptocurrency assets you purchase and store within Coinbase. On their website, Coinbase assures customers that "sensitive data that would normally reside on our servers is disconnected entirely from the internet." Data is then encrypted, and transferred to USB drives and paper backups, and distributed in safe deposit boxes vaults all over the world.

Heath Andrew Ledger[a] (4 April 1979 – 22 January 2008) was an Australian actor and music video director. After performing roles in several Australian television and film productions during the 1990s, Ledger left for the United States in 1998 to further develop his film career. His work comprised nineteen films, including 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), The Patriot (2000), A Knight's Tale (2001), Monster's Ball (2001), Lords of Dogtown (2005), Brokeback Mountain (2005), The Brothers Grimm (2005), Casanova (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009), the latter two being posthumous releases. He also produced and directed music videos and aspired to be a film director.

Jessica Chastain Looks Totally Different As a Brunette
We never thought we'd see the day Jessica Chastain was without her signature auburn tone, but considering that 2016 has been one hell of an unpredictable year, anything's possible. Earlier today, the star was spotted on the set of her upcoming film Molly's Game, working a much darker hue than usual. Chastain has previously played around with her length, but aside from the blonde wig she wore in The Help, that red hair has long been her trademark. We're not sure if her brunette hair is the real deal or not, but she's serving some serious #HairInspo either way. Check out her new 'do below, and see even more celebrity hair makeovers in our gallery.

The Action Democratic Party (ADP) has petitioned the Justice Umar Dogon-daji-led Election Tribunal to challenge the declaration of Governor Nyesom Wike as winner of the March 9 governorship election.
The party’s candidate, Victor Tamie Fingesi, in a statement yesterday, said the party is asking the Independent National Electoral commission (INEC) to nullify the polls and reschedule a fresh exercise, having earlier admitted that the March 9 election was marred by violence.
He maintained that elections did not hold in the state, and so INEC should void the earlier purported poll, withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to Wike and begin the process all over again.
The statement reads: “We have filed a complaint against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Governor Nyesom Wike and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) the election tribunal.
“We know many people are unhappy with INEC and Wike’s return as governor-elect, and that is why we are challenging the March 9 election as not substantially in compliance with the Electoral Act.
“We are asking the Tribunal to nullify the election and order for a fresh election. This is because anyone who is the governor in a democratic dispensation carries the people’s sacred mandate. No matter the expediency, he must have a majority of lawful votes and the process and procedure must comply with the laws of our land.
“No attempt should be made in any guise to describe elections as merely filling a vacuum and impose anybody on Rivers people as Governor.
“Our stand on this matter is even corroborated by a statement from INEC that the election was marred by irregularities, so we wonder why INEC would consequently volte-face and return Wike as the governor in such an election.
“We shall pursue the matter to its logical conclusion even to the highest Court of the land. We enjoin the people to remain calm and wait for the outcome of the petition.”
