No jokes here. Shooting is an Olympic sport. Target shooting is one of the oldest sports ever (Archery) and was one of the main events of the first ever Olympic games. So please gun haters check your views. I wouldn’t kill people unless I'm forced to protect myself or family. I like shooting for sport so no politics crap please.
I'm not so into hunting game but have done so. Never deer because I think deer are just a docile animal that just like to do their own thing and pose no threat of hunting me back. So I don’t see the excitement in killing deer except for food. And I’ve never ate one so I’ve never killed one either. But I’ve hunted wild boar and that was crazy. They weigh about 450 lbs. and run at you about 25mph with 8-12 inch long tusks and are ready to rampage you and eat....lol. And sometimes they come in packs. You gotta be fast and accurate. And ya know how some basketball players are clutch and some choke under pressure......well in this sport if you choke you get hurt.....bad.
My fav rifle is my USA made (UT) Vector Arms AK47, equipped with a
fiberglass dragunov sniper rifle stock w/ targeting chin rest (the entire back part that goes against the shoulder)
and recoil pad (rubber on end of stock to help soften the kick of rifle)
tactical quad rail hand guards (above front handle used to mount accessories)
tactical fore grip with laser activation button on side and battery compartment housing (front handle)
red/green laser sight, (detachable, shown above front handle) & 7-18x magnified scope (detachable, not shown)
and internal stabilizer to steady targeting. (inside gun, cant see but it's important. Its the equal to shooting what a basketball player would be to shoe's).
And that’s a steel 30 rd. magazine.
I’ve used this rifle in major competitions and have 4 wins, 9 second place and 6 third place finishes. I have only failed to qualify 1 time and it’s because I was deducted points for breaking a rule I had never heard of before. In decent wind conditions (under 25 mph) I can shoot a consistent 4-5" pattern from 150 yards away after I've dialed in my scope and Laser sight.
And my UZI IMI 9mm Baby Eagle/Jericho with extended 40 rd. magazine....this baby can unleash hell.

More Than a Backyard Barbecue: African American
|Former UGA Director of Minority Services Dr. Leslie Bates
(back right) with his immediate family in Ocala, Fla., for
Christmas in 2003
Each summer, thousands of African
Americans pile into cars, on trains, or hop on airplanes, traveling
hundreds or even thousands
of miles to be a part of their family. Planning for these reunions,
which often include extended family and a fun location, can begin
months in advance.
The family is the root of African American culture, and family
reunions are what strengthen those roots. The black family reunion
has the characteristic of a movement as each year, more and more
families hold their first reunion. For many black families, the
reunion is the most anticipated time of the year. With family members
coming from all over the country, many do whatever it takes to
The tradition of reunions goes back to Africa and the love of
family. Although Africa is a vast and diverse continent, one similarity
at the center of African tradition was the family, which was also
the religious, economic, and political unit encompassing a wide
circle of extended family. During slavery, women often took care
of children not their own, and many slaves protected each other
in spite of tribal or language differences. When slavery ended,
women and men went about trying to put the family back together.
These stories of former slaves trying to locate their families
are often told at reunions.
African Americans survived the worst
of circumstances. Their survival is due to the fact that they helped
each other, that they took
care of each other, that they extended themselves not only to blood
relatives but also to others. The extended family was crucial.
Raising others’ children became a natural phenomenon in African
American life. Bonsondo Bayindu, originally from Saginaw, Michigan,
says “My extended family is just as close and important to
me as my nuclear family. “ She believes the family reunion
cements these ties because “it gives a sense of unity.”
So, how do these reunions start? Many African American reunions
often start at funerals. African Americans often attend funerals
even if they have not had contact with the deceased person in years.
Family members are so happy to see each other that they talk about
getting together for a happy occasion. Someone agrees to organize
and the reunion starts. Sometimes property brings families together.
Families learn that they are heirs, and in trying to settle the
legal problems, find other relatives that they didn’t know
Most reunions are a three-day or longer event when families gather,
usually in hotels or some other facility, and have a set program
along with a variety of activities. They usually follow a particular
format. Friday night is informal with getting-to-know-you exercises
and hospitality. Saturday is filled with a variety of activities
leading into the night with a banquet and more activities. Sunday
is worship service and departure. Chance Williams, a University
of Georgia student from Thomasville, says that his family’s
reunion is in a different city each year, with his two favorite
spots being Canada and Atlantic City. His favorite activities at
the reunion are the fashion and talent shows.
At the reunion, you
get to know your family. You get to see family members that you
didn’t even know you had. “The reunion
provides a sense of belonging to a group of people who will love
and care for you unconditionally,” says Tameka Gude of Monticello.
She views the family reunion as central to cementing the ties of
most black families because it “brings everyone together – young
Stories are shared that will be carried down for years and connect
the family forever,” says Gude.
The world is on the move and everyone is busy making a living.
So, it is imperative that the family gets together at least once
a year to relive the good times and remember those that have gone
on,” says Inga Bonner, mother and teacher from south Georgia
who resides in Hull. Bonner’s reunion was in Youngstown,
Ohio, this past 4th of July.
African American family reunions also provide growth and development.
At the reunions, many families have developed a scholarship fund.
Some families engage in fundraising to help with funerals, births,
and so on. Endowment funds are set up and whenever a baby is born,
each family sends a set amount to the treasurer and an endowment
is started so that when that child goes to college, there will
be money in that child’s name. Networking the talent in the
family is also common. Some families have many people in the trades.
If they need a carpenter or electrician or some other work done,
they call on a family member and pay them.
Central to cementing the ties of most black families is the family
reunion. “Reconnecting,” “reviving the legacy,” and “finding
the rest of me” are what family reunions are all about. Family
reunions are our road maps from the past and our guides for the

Suns watching Lakers/Jazz race for last playoff spot
The result holds a direct correlation to the who and when the Suns select in the 2013 NBA Draft.
If the Lakers do not make the playoffs, the Suns will get Los Angeles' lottery pick. However, if the Lakers do make the playoffs, Phoenix will get the Miami Heat's first round pick. This is all part of the Steve Nash sign-and-trade deal with the Lakers in the offseason.
The Lakers are currently holding onto a half-game lead over the Jazz with four games remaining. Of those four games, L.A. faces three playoff teams -- Golden State (45-33), San Antonio (57-20) and Houston (44-34). Kobe Bryant and the Lakers travel to Portland Wednesday night to take on the Trail Blazers (33-44) before returning home on Friday for a three-game home stand, finishing Wednesday night against the Rockets.
Utah has a much easier finish to the season on paper, as they play Minnesota (29-48) in back-to-back games. The Jazz will finish the season on the same night as the Lakers, traveling to Memphis (53-25) Wednesday night.

January is a time for reflection, contemplation and rebalancing of life and its priorities, often accompanied by those infamous New Year Resolutions we all love to make…but often break before the end of the first month (if we actually enact them at all!).
Absorbing more culture is a regular feature on my resolution list (that and eating less sugar/more gym visits!). If you are on my wavelength, below are 3 events I highly recommend you put in your diary for 2020.
The Museum of the Moon

A giant replica of the Moon, which has wowed audiences across the world, is coming to Rochester Cathedral in February 2020. The Museum of the Moon will be installed for three weeks in February and March 2020.
Museum of the Moon is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram. It measures seven metres in diameter and features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. Each centimetre represents 5km of the surface. Alongside the installation is a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround sound composition created by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award winning composer Dan Jones.
Museum of the Moon has been presented in a number of locations across the world including several UK cathedrals and museums. As it travels from place to place, it gathers new musical compositions and an ongoing collection of personal responses, stories and mythologies, as well as highlighting the latest moon science.
A full programme of lunar inspired events will take place at the Cathedral alongside the artwork, including concerts, lectures and evening receptions.

Tim Walker: Wonderful Things
The V&A, Until 8 March 2020
Krishna and Indra. About 1590, Lahore

Following the incredible success of the Dior exhibition, in September 2019 the V&A opened Tim Walker: Wonderful Things.
The exhibition allows the viewer to experience the extraordinary creative process of one of the world’s most inventive photographers through his pictures, films, photographic sets, and special installations – including ten new series of photographs influenced by the V&A’s collections
“Every shoot is a total love letter to an object from the V&A, sometimes several objects,” comments Walker, whose heart swells when connecting with an object, like it would with a new best friend. From an exquisite embroidered casket created by an anonymous young woman in the 17th century to Aubrey Beardsley’s erotic illustrations, a 65-metre-long photograph of the Bayeux Tapestry and an illuminated manuscript made in the 1470s for the Duchess of Brittany, the works Walker chose span the breadth of the V&A’s 145 public galleries and beyond. “My imagination went off in all sorts of directions and then I was really in love,” Walker continues. “It was a total firework display. It was a supernova of creative explosions that you want to get down.”
Tim Walker shot his first Vogue fashion story at the age of 25, and has been contributing his magical and eccentric images to the magazine ever since. His fascination with photography began in Condé Nast’s London library – where he worked on the Cecil Beaton archive prior to university. A stint as Richard Avedon’s assistant in New York followed, before he returned to London to forge his own career.
Tutankhamun: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh
Saatchi Gallery, Until 3 May 2020, Saatchigallery.com
The legend of Tutankhamun captured imaginations globally when his tomb was unearthed by British explorer Howard Carter and financier Lord Carnarvon in 1922.
Produced by the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities and IMG, and presented in London by Viking Cruises, TUTANKHAMUN: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh unveils more than 150 original objects from the tomb, 60 of which have travelled out of Egypt for the first and final time before they return for permanent display within the Grand Egyptian Museum which is currently under construction.
Prior to the London showing, the exhibition became France’s most visited of all time with attendance of over 1.4 million!

Berlusconi puts on a brave face after op
Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi has undergone four hours of face surgery to repair damage he suffered when a man hurled a statuette at him in 2009.
The 74-year-old was operated on under general anaesthetic in Milan said a statement yesterday, quoting his personal doctor, Alberto Zangrillo.
Mr Berlusconi suffered a broken nose and two broken teeth when a man hurled a miniature statue of Milan's cathedral at him at the end of a political rally in Milan on December 13, 2009. The attacker had a history of psychological problems.
The operation "became necessary to restore the anatomy and jaw function that had been gravely compromised" in the attack, said the brief statement.
It said the operation involved a bone transplant and an implant.
Mr Berlusconi spent a month out of public view after the attack. Photos of his bloodied face made the front pages of newspapers around the world at the time.

Together, the First Nations in the Far North and the Government of Ontario are developing community based land use plans that both identify areas for protection and areas that will provide environmentally sustainable economic opportunities, which can lead to greater prosperity for the area's people and communities. The goal is to find the right approach for both conservation and sustainable development.
Since the Premier’s July 2008 announcement of the Far North Land Use Planning Initiative, a Far North Advisory Council, composed of resource industry representatives and environmental organizations, was established and provided its consensus advice and input concerning land use planning in the Far North.
A Far North Science Advisory Panel also provided science-based advice to support Far North land use planning in a report submitted in April, 2010. The panel included experts in the fields of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, biodiversity, mineral resources, carbon and climate change.
Work is currently underway on a variety of information and knowledge management projects, which will provide tools and information such as topographic, land cover and geological mapping. So far, topographic mapping for the Far North is 90% completed while land cover mapping, terrain mapping, and hydrology mapping is 40% completed. The information received from these projects will provide essential building blocks for the development of community based land use plans.
Ontario worked with the Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) through the Oski Machiitawin Land Use Planning Technical Table to develop principles and processes to guide land use planning in the Far North.
The Far North Act, 2010, provides a legislative foundation for First Nations and Ontario to work together on community based land use planning in the Far North. The Far North Act puts into law, for the first time in Ontario’s history, a requirement for First Nations approval of land use plans on public land.

Looking at my Note Cloud at the bottom of this page I realized that my posts about vetiver fragrances are disproportionate to my love of this ingredient. I love vetiver because it represents the power of earth and the fragility of vegetation depending on how you play it. Many perfumistas find it boring and one-dimensional and I must admit that there are many vetiver prominent fragrances out there that feel repetitive and redundant. I have done a lot of sampling and I think it is time to speak about the Colours of Vetiver, as I have done with the Colours of Iris.
Etro Vetiver is a fragrance that is rarely talked about. And this is really a pity because not only it is unique inside the vetiver family but also because many fragrances that were released in the recent years have worked on its theme: a gourmand vetiver. Etro Vetiver opens with a strong medicinal vetiver note (forgive me for the constant repetition of the word but the unimaginative name-giving does not help) and a dried raisin note hand in hand. At this stage the yin and yang of bitter and sweet is like a swirl spinning in my nose. Quickly both extremes stop fighting and balance in a beautiful sticky, rubbery, smoky green herbal vetiver accord. Think of it as a boiled down version of Vetiver Tonka. I use the culinary term “boil down” because the composition is full of gourmand notes. The dry raisin note stays throughout the development. A slight caramelized coffee note gives warmth and depth. A hint of immortelle balances the smokiness in a way that never lets it become prominent like it is in Vetiver Extraordinaire. Cypress adds its high-pitched green dimension. In the middle of its development Etro Vetiver smells like an almost empty glass of Noilly Prat Vermouth forgotten on the table from last night’s party. The alcohol has evaporated and the herbal qualities of the drink are amplified, the fruity notes are heightened and the hidden caramel and coffee notes become evident. It feels like standing inside an oak vat where the drink has been maturing. This is the most flamboyant stage of Etro Vetiver and the most satisfying. Beautifully composed and well balanced. The drydown is drier, woodier and smoky. Although it lacks in lasting power and thickness, it reminds me a lot of the fragrant herbal tobacco of Fougère Bengale.
Kevin of NowSmellThis places Etro Vetiver together with Route du Vetiver at the top of his vetiver rating scale and I feel that this fragrance deserves all the rare accolades it gets. My impression is based on a vintage bottle of this and I do not know how the repackaging and reformulation have affected it. Some old bottles can be found online at ridiculously low prices so next time you stumble upon one of them do consider it for a blind buy. Totally worth it!
Notes from NST: artemisia, clary sage, cypress, cedar, tobacco and Bourbon vetiver.
Notes from my nose: smoke, raisins, coffee, immortelle, tobacco, vetiver, Noilly Prat

Police appeal to locate man missing from state’s north
POLICE are appealing for public assistance to locate a missing man, not seen since last month.
Rohan Lloyd, aged 37, was last seen in the township of Kyogle, about 11am on Thursday August 13 2020.
His family reported him missing to police when he could not be contacted, and they have concerns for his welfare.
The man's car, a light blue 2009 Hyundai Getz was located by police on Wednesday September 2 on the mid-north coast.
Mr Lloyd is a Lismore resident but is also known to frequent the Kyogle, Bakers Vale and Coffs Harbour areas.
Officers from Coffs/Clarence Police District and Richmond Police District are conducting inquiries and are appealing for public assistance to help locate him.
Mr Lloyd is described as being of caucasian appearance, 167cm tall, medium build, balding brown hair and a short, fine beard.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report crime via NSW Police social media pages.


The Launch Edition H1 could be the perfect SUV. And it's powered by Duramax.
No one has been able to buy a brand new Hummer H1 since 2006, the year production of the SUV icon ended. Real Hummer enthusiasts wouldn't touch an H2 or, far worse in their eyes, the H3, with a pole of any size. And that was that. No more new H1s, until now that is. Wichita, Kansas-based Mil-Spec Automotive (MSA) has just revealed its Launch Edition H1, a custom-built Hummer that takes all of the best traits from the original and ditches all of the worst.
"We spent two years researching, designing, and developing prototypes in our quest to build the perfect truck and we have achieved our goal with our Launch Edition," said Adam Mitchell, MSA CEO. Encouragingly, the reborn H1 starts with an existing original donor that's been completely stripped to its bare frame, and then rebuilt with all-new parts. After a proper inspection by the 12-person team, the donor H1 is reborn with an aircraft-grade aluminum body, ceramic underbody and engine bay coating, and even a special textured body coating. There's also heavy-duty front and rear bumpers, LED lighting and some insanely cool military-style alloy wheels.
The interior is decked out with lots of luxury, such as marine-grade hand-stitched leather, upgraded seats, a premium audio system, and plenty of other premium updates. The original and underpowered engine is also dropped, replaced by a new Duramax 6.6-liter turbo diesel V8 with 500 hp and – wait for it – a bonkers 1,000 lb-ft of torque, paired with an Allison 1000 six-speed automatic transmission. Zero to 60 mph happens in a claimed 6.8 seconds and there's an electronically-controlled top speed of 105 mph. There's also a four-wheel independent suspension.
MSA says five configurations are available: four-door hardtop pickup, hardtop slant-back, hardtop wagon, hardtop SUV, or a two-door hardtop pickup with an extended bed. Parking, as it always was, won't be easy, but we doubt that will be a deal breaker for anyone ready to pony up nearly $220,000 for the Launch Edition H1.

More About The Descendants by Kaui Hart Hemmings
Narrated in a bold, fearless, unforgettable voice and set against the lush, panoramic backdrop of Hawaii, The Descendants
is a stunning debut novel about an unconventional family forced to come together and re-create its own legacy.
Matthew King was once considered one of the most fortunate men in Hawaii. His missionary ancestors were financially and culturally progressive-one even married a Hawaiian princess, making Matt a royal descendant and one of the state's largest landowners.
Now his luck has changed. His two daughters are out of control: Ten-year-old Scottie is a smart-ass with a desperate need for attention, and seventeen-year-old Alex, a former model, is a recovering drug addict. Matt's charismatic, thrill-seeking, high-maintenance wife, Joanie, lies in a coma after a boat-racing accident and will soon be taken off life support. The Kings can hardly picture life without her, but as they come to terms with this tragedy, their sadness is mixed with a sense of freedom that shames them-and spurs them into surprising actions.
Before honoring Joanie's living will, Matt must gather her friends and family to say their final goodbyes, a difficult situation made worse by the sudden discovery that there is one person who hasn't been told: the man with whom Joanie had been having an affair, quite possibly the one man she ever truly loved. Forced to examine what he owes not only to the living but to the dead, Matt takes to the road with his daughters to find his wife's lover, a memorable journey that leads to both painful revelations and unforeseen humor and growth.

Set in Hawaii, Hemmings' page-turner of a debut novel is narrated by Matt King, a wealthy, well-connected attorney, who is the head of an unusual family. As the descendant of upper-crust landownersHawaiian royalty, no lessMatt leads a glamorous life that includes travel, flashy motorcycles and exclusive beach clubs. But when a boating accident puts his wife, Joanie, in what seems to be an irreversible coma, Matt's fast existence takes a drastic turn. He must single-handedly care for his two daughters, Scottie, a preternaturally intelligent 10-year-old, and Alex, a moody 17-year-old who is fighting a cocaine habit. Trying to survive without Joanie at the helm of the family is harder than the threesome ever imagined. When Matt discovers Joanie had been having an affair, he sets out to find her lover with the help of his daughters, and the quest leads them into new emotional territory. It's a journey that changes them forever. Matt's descent from golden boy to betrayed husband and struggling father is chronicled poignantly by Hemmings, who writes skillfully about family relationships, particularly the father-daughter bond. There's also a great deal of humor in the book, supplied largely by Scottie and Alex. This is a sensitively written novel from a promising new writer.
A reading group guide is included in the book.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) strongly defended the Trump-Putin summit during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday, criticizing legislation that would undermine the President’s ability to negotiate with Russia.
He started by asking Pompeo whether the administration stood by its decision to launch the groundbreaking summit with the Russian President.
“I think we can meet with less than perfect citizens of the world, and hopefully move the ball in the right direction. Second, I think it was more than appropriate that President Trump meet with Vladimir Putin,” Pompeo replied.
Paul appeared to agree with Pompeo’s sentiment on the U.S. administration’s renewed diplomatic engagement with Russia.
“My personal opinion is that I think we need to deescalate some of the partisan tensions in our country and try to look towards some of the ways in which we can talk to foreign leaders,” Paul stated. “Not be so simplistic that somehow they have to have a perfect record or that we have to shout and scream.”
Rand went on to criticize politicians of both parties who were urging Trump to take a more confrontational approach towards Putin by citing examples of past diplomacy conducted by U.S. Presidents.
“I just don’t imagine Reagan sitting down with Gorbachev and yelling and screaming and shaking his fist and saying murderer, thug, and citing Stalin’s human rights abuses,” Paul added. “I think there is a difference for anyone who has thought about this between sitting down and how diplomacy would occur between individuals, and reciting a litany of human rights abuses.”
Paul then slammed proposals expressed by other members of the committee that would undermine Trump’s efforts to improve U.S.-Russia relations.
“There seems to be sort of a limitless appetite for more sanctions but maybe insufficient interest in describing what actions are needed to remove sanctions,” Paul said, referring to legislation by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) called the DETER Act, which permits the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to impose sanctions unilaterally. “Do you think it’s a good idea to take the sanction power, give it to the DNI and then the sanctions have to remain in place for 8 hours with the President not having any ability to decide whether there’s been any change in behavior by the malefactor?”
“Without having seen the legislation, I do not think that’s a good idea,” Pompeo replied, suggesting the administration agrees with Paul’s critique.
Paul then praised Pompeo’s successful denuclearization talks with the regime in North Korea, and lauded Trump’s outreach to both Kim Jong-Un and Vladimir Putin.
“I do commend you for talking to Kim. Are we here to extoll Kim’s record on human rights? Obviously not. But at the same time, for sanctions to have an effect, you have to have negotiation,” Paul said. “So what I would say to my colleagues who have been all over TV saying there should not have been a meeting: think again! We have planes within a mile or a hundred yards of [Russian aircraft] in Syria – we have to have open lines of communication!”
Paul has emerged as the most visible of the Trump administration’s defenders on the Trump-Putin summit, which was panned by many senior Republicans. This led to Trump publicly thanking Paul for his support on Twitter earlier this month.

CARIO,IL — A major development plan underway in Cairo, Illinois, aims to bring with it growth and economic development. The city has partnered with Blounts and Moore LLC to build a marijuana dispensary on Kessler Road near the exit 1 ramp for Interstate 57.
City leaders say they expect it to generate an estimated $30,000 in new sales tax revenue per month in Cairo. Leaders say the development will create 20 to 25 jobs for the community.
Wages for these positions will range from $19 to $30 an hour with full health and welfare benefits. Cairo Mayor Thomas Simpson says construction will be done by local company Russell Construction. He says the project will be a win-win situation for Cairo and Alexander County.
Leaders are on a mission to restore Cairo.
“It was a real busy town, I tell you. We even had franchises around here in town growing up, which are gone now, but we had it. You name it, we pretty much had here,” says Simpson.
Simpson was raised in Cairo, and he says now that he is mayor his goal is to give back

When they're not in flower, perennials are enjoyed for their foliage, which is at least as important a consideration as the blooms.
Perennials may grow and expand each year, eventually filling more space than you might expect. To keep perennials under control and growing well, many need division (digging up the root clump, dividing it into sections, and replanting the best sections in freshened soil). This can provide a harvest of new plants for use elsewhere in the garden
This could cause the seeds to rot and may give very erratic germination.
This said it is important to keep your eye on them to make sure they don't dry out.
Bees and finches love lavender.
Daisies, whether in wild or cultivated form, are essential because their centres contain an abundance of nectar. Ivy provides nectar for insects and berries for the birds; it also offers shelter: blackbirds, robins and many other birds build their nests in its branches.
As the main aim of a plant is to produce a seed head, removing old blooms you will not only be enhancing the look of your plant you will be forcing it into producing more flowers.
Try using a pair of scissors to remove the dead flowers this can speed the job up.
When watering your baskets and pots take care to give them the right amount of water.
It can be just as damaging to over water your plants as leaving them to dry out.
Next time you water the garden try to become aware if any of your plants are becoming too wet and not growing very well.
Many times when people have a plant that looks sick they think it just needs a good water when all it really needs is to dry out, as a healthy plant will use the water you daily give it.
This will keep your plants healthy and promote good root development. Apply a general purpose fertiliser, being carefull not to damage emerging shoots, or to burn them when feeding. Avoid watering/feeding in the mid day sun.

Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3 consoles offer high-definition video performance and surround-sound audio. Although the two brands have their share of rabid fans, consumers typically make their purchasing choice based on capabilities and features. If you must choose one over the other, closely examining the core elements of each console will help you make a determination you will be happy with over the long term.
For fans of next-generation movie formats, the PlayStation 3 is a solid choice due to the presence of a built-in Blu-ray drive. The Xbox 360 incorporates a conventional DVD drive, offering at one point an external drive featuring the failed HD-DVD format. Although larger games primarily benefit from Blu-ray's capacity in terms of using fewer discs, some Blu-ray movie and game titles offer uncompressed audio and 1080p HD video.
A key feature difference between the two consoles is hard-drive storage capacity. The upper range of stock PS3 hard drives is 320 gigabytes, with the Xbox 360 topping out at 250GB. The drive used in the PS3 is easily swapped for a higher-capacity unit, but the only method of increasing hard drive space on an Xbox 360 is to purchase another console at comparatively higher cost. Bigger hard drives enable increased storage of games saves, multimedia and smaller games.
Memory and Computing
The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 both offer customized chip sets and memory. Although the PS3's central-processing unit -- CPU -- performance measures higher in terms of gigaflops per second, the 360's graphics processing unit -- GPU -- measures equal or better. Both offer high levels of graphics and video performance. Differences in gaming performance are largely based on whether game programmers take the time to maximize the potential of the console.
As consoles become multimedia hubs rather than just gaming systems, the need to add USB peripherals such as flash drives increases. The Xbox 360 is equipped with three USB ports, with the PlayStation 3 offering five. Additionally, the PS3 offers support for Bluetooth 2.0, used natively with the Sony Dual Shock game controllers and headsets.
When moving to a new console, many choose to pull out the old one for sale or trade-in. Being able to play your existing library of older games on the newer console is therefore potentially very important. The current Xbox 360 console offers limited support for older original Xbox titles. However, the current version of the PS3 does not play older PlayStation and PS2 games.
Microsoft's Xbox Live and Sony's PlayStation Network offer players the opportunity to pit their skills against large numbers of online opponents. A key feature of the Xbox 360's iteration of online gaming is party chat, where a group can join up in one game and stay together throughout the evening. Both online services also offer content streaming from Netflix, Hulu Plus and others. The key difference is cost, which is typically higher per year with the Xbox 360 than the PlayStation 3.

Stoke City vs Manchester City Online Stream
Stoke City vs Manchester City Preview:
On January 26th Stoke City welcomes Manchester City at the Britannia Stadium in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. The visitors will try to extend their unbeaten run in new year. The last five games between these teams at the Britannia Stadium have finished with the score 1-1.
Stoke goes tenth in the league table with twenty nine points from twenty three games. They are safe from relegation zone, so can focus their hopes on the FA Cup. Their present form has seen one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five matches. Their last five home games have ended with two wins, two draws and one loss. Stoke City progressed to the fourth round after winning Crystal Palace 4-1 in extra time. Jonathan Walters with eight goals is the top scorer of Stoke.
Manchester City are second in the EPL standings with fifty one points after twenty three games. They are just five points behind the leaders Manchester United.

These teams played the FA Cup final at Wembley in 2011. Yaya Toure scored the only one winning goal and brought the prize for Roberto Mancini.
Stoke City head coach Tony Pulis probably will make some changes from the squad that lost to Swansea. Thomas Sorensen could get his chance in goal. Cameron Jerome and Kenwyne Jones could starts from the first minuets, but Jonathan Walters and Peter Crouch are more expected in the starting line-up. Rory Delap has hernia problem and Marc Wilson is out via broken leg, so they both remain sidelined.
Roberto Mancini could also change his goalkeeper and play with Costel Pantilimon instead of Joe Hart. Joleon Lescott and Aleksandar Kolarov could start from the first minutes. Samir Nasri and Jack Rodwell remain in contention. Sergio Aguero will start from the beginning to return his playing form. Carlos Tevez probably could get rest, while Mario Balotelli will start from the bench. Right-backs Maicon and Micah Richards are still out cause of knee injuries.
Stoke City line-up: Sorensen, Whitehead, Huth, Shawcross, Cameron, Whelan, Adam, Nzonzi, Etherington, Walters, Crouch.
Last three matches:
Swansea City 3 – Stoke City 1;
Stoke City 4 – Crystal Palace 1;
Stoke City 0 – Chelsea FC 4.
Manchester City line-up: Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, Garcia, Barry, Nasri, Aguero, Silva, Dzeko.
Last three matches:
Manchester City 2 – Fulham 0;
Arsenal FC 0 – Manchester City 2;
Manchester City 3 – Watford 0.

I'm from England and am planning on coming over to the US next Fall (2011) to do a road trip from San Diego to Savannah. I'm planning to take 3 weeks off work and will be doing it with a mate.
At the minute, the only arrangements I'm planning to make are booking my flights to San Diego and from Savannah and the hire of the car.
Any tips and suggestions which people may have - whatever it may relate to - will be greatly welcomed.
The main reason for choosing this route is that there are not many 'touristy' cities on the route and it is hopefully a great chance to experience the wide variety of cultures which the South has to offer.
Thanks in advance.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with too much to do? I imagine most of us have struggled with time management at one time or another. There are just too many things on our plate, and they never go away.
Some may attribute this burden to their life, or perhaps they are inefficient time managers, or something else. Regardless, I doubt many enjoy the feeling or the situation.
If only we could walk across the bridge to self improvement and be enlightened.
As a young engineer with ALCOA, I was assigned the general plant engineer job at the plant. It was challenging job to say the least. What made it most challenging was that there were 6 department superintendents at our facility. All six of these people were trying to get ahead by impressing the plant manager. They accomplished this by being good at their jobs, just like everyone else. Unfortunately, part of this required them to have general plant projects completed. This meant that they were always hounding the general plant engineer to get their projects done. I set about prioritizing and when I went to everyone involved, they all agreed on the priorities but also all reminded me that regardless of where their project fell on the list, theirs was to be my top priority.
Eager to please and do well, I tried as best as I could to deal with this, but having six number one priorities made life difficult. There didn’t seem to be any way to convince everyone that there couldn’t be six number one priorities. As a result, I was struggling. It seemed that work was coming from everywhere, and I was sinking.
About this time, the plant had some consultants in to help with leadership issues. I believe the consultants were from LIOS (Leadership Institute Of Seattle). I was invited to a session that ended up helping me immensely. In this session, one of the instructors introduced a short fable entitled “The Bridge” by Edwin Friedman. It ended up clarifying my dilemma and helping me through a tough situation. I included a link to that story which you might want to read it first, and then come back and finish here. It is short and only takes 5 minutes to read
A summary of the story is that someone struggles in life finding their way. They finally decide what they want to do and set off to do it. Along the way, someone gives them a task that they didn’t want or ask for but are now stuck with. There doesn’t seem to be any way out of the predicament for our traveler because of this consequence. A tough decision must be made and this person finally does.
It turns out that without my realizing it, I was being handed tasks that I didn’t want or ask for and didn’t realize what was happening. I would just accept them and head back to the office with more to do. After reading this fable, it finally occurred to me why I got so many “rope burns” (read the story for the analogy).
Understanding the situation changed the way I dealt with things. For instance, the day after reading the story, I was in a departmental office and someone came up to me and shoved papers in my face. The previous day I would have taken them, looked at them and ended up taking them back to the office. That day I looked at them with my hands behind my back and commented about them – but never touched them. I didn’t get any rope burns that day, because I didn’t end up with any tasks that weren’t mine!
You might be wondering what this has to do with Reliability. Since reliability is all about eliminating failures, we also must identify personal failures and issues that need to be dealt with. By fixing this personal issue, it enabled me to get ahead of the game and focus more on fixing the problems within my facility.
I may be the only one who has had this type of problem, but if not, and it helps prevent someone from getting rope burns at work, then I’ve accomplished my goal. Remember that sometimes we have to walk across the bridge to self improvement to help eliminate failures.
They don’t teach you these kinds of things in Engineering School
I didn’t have 10 years of experience in my first year out of school
Find a mentor at work that can help with the “people side” of engineering, or those things that aren’t taught
It’s OK to say, “I don’t know” and do something about it.
It’s not OK to say, “I don’t know” and do nothing

Just as you suggested, this is a perfect read for a hidden “reality check.” A few simple phrases cast rays of light upon a dark subject which many folks fail to realize is happening all around them and their lives.
Thanks for the motivation!

You may have heard of acne care soaps that use sulfur as their active ingredient. Soaps like these specifically target acne-prone and oily skin since sulfur removes excess oil from the skin. Sulfur acne care soap also unclogs pores, exfoliates the skin, kills pimple-causing germs, and has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic properties.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids
Also known as AHA, this active ingredient treats acne-prone skin by sloughing dead skin cells and reducing inflammation. It also improves skin texture by making it appear as if pores are smaller.

For our next Sound Journey this coming New Moon we will be in the wonderful Old Church on Church Street with its magical acoustic.
Join us for an immersion into sound, an opportunity to relax and let the inner ear open, bringing a healing theta state to the brain and positive vibrations to the body. Using a mixture of acoustic instruments, loops and electronics a soundscape is created to bring balance, grounding and cleansing. Allow yourself to be soothed by the sounds of himalayan bowls, bells, shakers, shamanic drum, shruti box, open-tuned guitar, flute, gentle multi-channel drone and vocal mantras. Through sonic vibration we activate the resonance of the inner unstruck sound that is waiting to be discovered..
Our sound journey is a facilitated space where you are invited to rest in awareness of sound for 90 minutes. About 1 hour of this will be laying in savasana on a yoga mat.
We have yoga mats and pillows, please bring your own if you have them and also blankets / sleeping bags for warmth and comfort.
You can pay at the door but we have limited space so please reserve your space by making payment here:
(If you are not a member of meetup: On the meetup page you need to “JOIN” which then links you to the Payment section)

South Sudan became the world's newest nation when it declared independence from Sudan in 2011. However, the country descended into civil war in 2013, when President Salva Kiir – of the Dinka ethnic group – fired his deputy and rebel leader Machar – from the Nuer group – and his cabinet.
Ethnic-related violence spread, with militia groups carrying out attacks in villages and areas known to be inhabited by either the Dinka or Nuer tribes.
An estimated 50,000 people have been killed, hundreds of thousands are either facing starvation in the country or have fled, amid allegations of crimes against humanity committed by both sides, including rape, torture and the use of child soldiers.
Kiir and Machar have agreed on several peace deals – the last of which was signed in August 2015 – but have failed to control their troops, who have broken every ceasefire signed since 2014.
Machar, who leads the opposing faction Sudan People's Liberation Movement-in-Opposition (SPLM-IO), originally left South Sudan in 2013.
His return and his reinstatement as vice president in April 2016 had restored hopes for the implementation of the peace process. However, Machar fled South Sudan following deadly fighting that left at least 300 people dead in Juba in July.
The rebel leader accused government forces of opening fire on his troops, and said he would return to the capital once a third-party force was deployed to ensure his and his officials' safety. He was replaced by Taban Deng Gai, a former ally of his.
Speaking on the phone from South Africa, where it is believed he received medical treatment, Machar told IBTimes UK he is willing to go back home and work with the government to ensure peace is restored in the war-torn country.
What is your position on your dismissal as vice-president and Gai's appointment?
The replacement was illegal. When I left Juba, I did not do it because of my choice, I was being threatened. We were pushed outside of Juba by force of arms. But I told the president [Kiir] it would be good to meet to resolve the issue, because my personal conviction is that the peace agreement is the salvation of South Sudan. I also told the president that general Alfred Ladu Gore would act as vice-president in my absence. But then the president appointed Gai to be the chairman of SPLM-IO. It is a plot, and I believe that those who designed the agreement, they did not design it to implement it. They wanted to liquidate people like me.
Gai accused you of frustrating the peace agreement and blamed you for the problems South Sudan is facing. What do you think about his claims?
Taban is lying and this is because he has joined the other side. I went to Juba to implement the peace agreement, but when I arrived there, I was nearly assassinated in the state house, because the president, as you know, does not want the peace agreement. If you recall, I was the first to sign the peace agreements in Addis Ababa on 17 August 2015. He [Kiir] was present, he refused to sign. Nine days later, he signed it in Juba, but had some reservations. He also told Al Jazeera the agreement was not implementable. But when I was interviewed, I said the agreement was implementable, even if we had issues and disagreements.
Do you think an agreement based on power sharing can work in South Sudan?
Yes. Power sharing is part of the agreement and we want to implement it. It should work if there is political will.
What are the necessary conditions to achieve peace in South Sudan?
Fighting is going on. The first thing to do is to initiate a political process and foster a political engagement between warring parties. There are issues that have to be addressed in the peace agreement. Security and power-sharing arrangements need to be reviewed because lots of things have happened since July. The dynamics of the war have changed and the conflict has now spread to other areas.
Are you planning to go back to South Sudan?
Yes, it is home. South Sudan is not Juba, we have liberated some areas and I would stay in those liberated areas. I am currently in South Africa where I received medical treatment and I am ready to go back.
When you left South Sudan in July, you went to Sudan. How would you describe your relationship with the country?
It is normal, the same type of relationship I have with any other neighbouring country. Nothing is special. Sudan has been part of the mediation process and that's it. In 2012, we signed an agreement. At one time, we were one country and Sudan is hosting the biggest number of refugees from South Sudan.
South Sudanese people have been suffering greatly since the war erupted in 2013. What is your message to the people of your country?
We want peace. The war has been brutal on our people. We have more than one million refugees in neighbouring countries. We have more than 150,000 people under the protection of the UN forces within South Sudan and 2.5 million people are internally displaced. We have over 7 million people in dire need of humanitarian assistance. The war must come to an end, we have been calling for a political process where warring parties can engage and review the agreement.
Government of South Sudan response
Sabit A Alley, South Sudanese ambassador to the UK, told IBTimes UK that Machar's claims were baseless.
"The government remains committed to the full implementation of the Peace Agreement. How can Machar claim that he is committed to the peace deal when he has again declared fresh war on the government?" he said.
Alley previously told IBTimes UK the peace agreement was about the fate of the country, not about Machar and his replacement was "in accordance with Article 6.4 of the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan."
Alley added Gai had been working hard to ensure the implementation of the peace deal and promote economic boost.

I bought two big and one small packages. I watched a firework and light show. It’s not too shocking, but it’s very beautiful and pretty. Everything is good except for the hot spots. Fortunately, you can bring ice water in and drink while watching.
Not bad, more suitable for bringing children over, a more creative place, but the price-performance ratio is relatively moderate, not particularly exciting, maybe it is because we are not too good at playing
This is one of the highlights of Singapore parks. It takes advantage of the presence of animals at night, plus the effects and lighting. There are otters jumping in the playground and watching the singing and dancing performances of the white tigers. The various environments are very realistic and present. The effect is really good, there is a kind of immersive, well-planned, it is worth cracking one by one.
Singapore Zoo's first launch of the Mirage Rainforest Night, a wildlife park background, combined with light and sound multimedia night experience and the salty interactive elements of the old and young, will make you memorable memories! Remove the vine, walk along the path, the rain forest deep light and shadow. Indulge in the scene, people and environment into one, there is a "dream not know the body is a guest" between the feeling of greed. Here you meet the heroes of the Rainforest Guards, the genie who invite you to join their adventure squad and start a wonderful journey.
Gorgeous and a real life picture book - while we walked through the beautiful green canopies of the Treetop Zone, we were surprised to be greeted by Tairee the White Tiger.
went there using sg voucher. its very worth.
[view] No zoo in the daytime is good [interest] single line [price/performance] low
Not a great value for money tourist attractions hehehehe
Open the night of the phantom rainforest at the Singapore Zoo where you can play with animals

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released a report on Jan. 23 that details the potential consequences of the use of e-cigarettes. The report was conducted at the request of the Center for Tobacco Products of the Food and Drug Administration. The purpose of the study is to review the available evidence of the health effects related to the use of e-cigarettes and identify future federally funded research needs.
According to the report, while rates of smoking combustible tobacco cigarettes decline among youth and adults, millions of Americans use e-cigarettes. In fact, in 2016 youth e-cigarette use was substantially higher than cigarette smoking or use of any other tobacco product.
One conclusion from the study shows that “young people who begin with e-cigarettes are more likely to transition to combustible cigarette use and become smokers who are at risk to suffer the known health burdens of combustible tobacco cigarettes.”
Learn more about e-cigs
In 2016, as part of the Current Topics series, Nathan Cobb, MD presented “E-Cigarettes: The Science Behind the Smoke and Mirrors.” Dr. Cobb researches if e-cigarettes are a safer alternative than the traditional cigarette. His presentation examines e-cigarettes and shares the science behind the newest craze in tobacco use.

Spring Fashion Trends + How to Use Them in Your Home
Do these bouts of warm weather have you daydreaming about spring break, road trips and of course, spring decor? This year, take a cue from the spring fashion trends for 2016 and go all out! So, what’s hot for spring this year?
Remember Taylor Swift’s stunning crop top and skirt combo from the Grammys? That was the first clue that this seasoned trend is still going strong. Also on the menu for spring? Bold stripes. But don’t feel like you have to repaint your home in order to enjoy this fabulous color craze. You can achieve a similar look with throw pillows, a new rug or even your kitchen canisters.
Wicker furniture, painted brick, grasscloth walls — this spring is all about creating interest and depth by incorporating texture within the home. If you aren’t ready to commit an entire wall to the trend, try incorporating a textured lamp shade or light woven throw to your regular decor.
Don't you love metallics year round? But there’s just something about a subtle, metallic accent to really get you excited for spring. If you’re looking to incorporate this shiny showstopper into your home decor, go big with a jaw-dropping accent wall like the one seen here, or go smaller with a simple metallic vase for your coffee table. Either way, you can’t go wrong with a little glitz!
A more specific use of texture being seen this spring arrived in the form of whimsical fringe. Try it in wall tapestries, curtain accents and anywhere that needs a little something extra. If you’re ready to embrace this trend full force, consider mimicking this incredible bathroom by Linc Thelen Design. We’re currently swooning over this unexpected fringe wallpaper.

Businesses and organisations wanting to unlock the value of cloud technology are being urged to attend a free event on Thursday (17 October).
Hosted by the University of Newcastle in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Deloitte, and CSA, the Cloud Immersion Day will include a series of informative, immersive, and interactive stations, along with keynote speakers and roundtable discussions to help organisations understand the opportunities they can gain from cloud services.
The day will provide attendees with the opportunity to explore real and working proofs of concepts of how cloud technology can be used to solve key challenges and make organisations more productive and efficient.
According to the ‘Economic value of cloud services in Australia’ research report conducted by Deloitte Access Economics and AWS, 42 per cent of Australian businesses have so far adopted cloud. It reveals that while 76 per cent of large businesses have adopted at least one paid cloud service, only 36 per cent of small businesses are using cloud services.
Cloud computing removes the need for data, applications, software, and other IT resources to be stored on hard drives or servers located on-premise, instead making them accessible seamlessly and rapidly over the Internet via cloud services. For organisations, this means upfront investment in hardware, and its ongoing management, are no longer required and they only have to pay for as little or as much as they use.
The University of Newcastle is making a shift in investment to a cloud-first strategy. This will see it exit from an on-premise data centre and migrate to AWS cloud by September 2020.
Anthony Molinia, the University’s Chief Information Officer, said that the higher education sector is as equally impacted by cloud disruption as other sectors.
“The rise of any new technology can create disruption and require a shift in traditional business models and service offerings. Leaders in this space recognise the significant opportunities presented by cloud technology and by implementing a cloud-first strategy at the University of Newcastle, we will be able to offer students and researchers many benefits,” he said.
The ‘Economic value of cloud services in Australia’ research report also reveals cloud technology has delivered $9.4 billion over the last 5 years in terms of productivity benefits to the Australian economy.
“We are excited that University of Newcastle is transforming their campus management by adopting a cloud-first strategy with AWS,” said Vincent Quah, APAC Regional Head for Education, Research, and Not-For-Profit at Amazon Web Services, Worldwide Public Sector.
“This approach will enable the University to become more agile to free up precious IT resources to focus on critical areas of the university such as improving teaching and learning environments for students and educators. This will also help to accelerate research and allow students to innovate and come up with solutions to tackle our biggest community challenges.”

The fate of a $50 million, mixed-used apartment complex slated for a prominent corner on Massachusetts Avenue is now uncertain after city preservation officials postponed action late Wednesday over design concerns and questions about a prominent “digital canvas” on the building.
The move by the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission means developers could have to rethink the project’s design and may be forced to alter the distinctive, three-story electronic-mesh art display, said architect Wayne Schmidt of Schmidt and Associates.
But Schmidt said he’s confident the project will go forward. “I don’t think it’s in jeopardy,” he said
Still, it wasn’t the outcome developers were hoping for.
The commission continued until next month the proposal by J.C. Hart and Strongbox Commercial for the 236-unit apartment complex called “Montage on Mass.” The building features about 36,000 square feet of retail space at the avenue’s intersection with North New Jersey Street near Old National Centre.
The decision, commission members said, was partly due to requests from Indianapolis City-County Council members concerned that the massive screen proposed for the building amounts to a digital billboard. Digital billboards are banned in Indianapolis, though the billboard industry has been negotiating to get the prohibition lifted.
The plan for a digital canvas “should be postponed until … guidelines are vetted through a thorough and public process,” Democratic Councilor Zach Adamson wrote in a letter Wednesday to the preservation commission.
The developer says the digital screen is meant to showcase local art and interactive features, not advertisements.
“This is about growing the art community in downtown Mass Ave,” Schmidt said. “This is a way to start bringing artists back.”
Despite the commission’s vote to delay a final decision on the project, Schmidt said he remains confident the project would eventually go forward—with or without the digital canvas element. But the timeline is now unclear.
“We just have to rethink the total design and take a fresh look. It won’t happen instantly,” Schmidt said.
The proposal is officially continued until the commission’s Oct. 7 meeting. But it’s possible the developer will wait longer than that to know the fate of the digital canvas.
Indianapolis officials currently are rethinking the city’s sign ordinance following public debate over whether the city should remove the digital billboard ban. The City-County Council likely will take up the issue again next spring.
“When this gets addressed is a real unknown,” said the commission’s administrator, David Baker. “It will take quite a while. I don’t even know how to begin to guess.”
The decision to continue the project came after commission members cited new concerns about some of the apartment project’s features—from the design of the right-of-way near the planned first-floor retail space to the bold colors chosen for the siding.
“We have been inundated with colorful panels” on downtown apartment buildings, said Susan Williams, the commission’s treasurer. “I know the intent was vibrancy. Then, you drive around and it seems really like overkill to me.”
Schmidt said he was surprised to hear about the aesthetic concerns. He said he wished they had been brought up more than two years ago when the preservation commission first discussed the project.
But the commission’s president, Ratio Architects principal William Browne, said a lot has happened in those two years that has informed how city planning officials are thinking about new developments.
“This isn’t a rubber stamp session,” Browne said. “A lot has gone under the bridge since then.”

The Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF) announced that it has received accreditation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which qualifies its films to compete for the Academy Awards beginning in November 2020.
Cairo’s festival is now one of a number of international festivals that qualify to compete in the Oscars, including the Berlin, Cannes and Venice film festivals, with the best film in the “Cinema al-Ghad” (Cinema of Tomorrow) competition eligible to compete in the category for best short film (feature or animated) during next year’s Academy Awards.
Commercial release is not necessary for a film to compete in the Academy Awards, provided that it complies with the rules of the Academy.
At the opening of the second edition of Cairo Film Days on Friday morning, producer Mohamed Hefzy commented: “We are very proud to join the list of Oscar-eligible festivals, and we thank the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for supporting the festival.”
The decision represents recognition of the festival’s quality and its annual film program, which highlights innovative films produced by internationally renowned filmmakers, he added.
The American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced in July that CIFF Chairman and producer Mohamed Hefzy, actress “Youssra” and director Amr Salama will join members of the Oscar Committee during its next.
Cairo Film Industry is a platform that brings together film industry professionals from around the world to take part in lectures, panel discussions and events designed to shed light on filmmakers in the Arab world.
During its 41st edition, the Cairo Film Festival is set to screen 153 films representing 63 different countries, including 84 movies to be screened as part of the MENA premiere.
The opening ceremony of the festival last Wednesday featured Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” (2019), with British director Terry Gilliam receiving the Faten Hamama Honorary Award and actress Menna Shalaby receiving the Faten Hamama Excellence Award.

In 1946 the United States Supreme Court ruled that segregated seating on interstate buses was unconstitutional. Eight years later the 1954 landmark ruling from the Supreme Court in the Brown v. Board of Education declared public school segregation violated the Constitution. And in 1960 the Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation of interstate bus passengers at station restrooms, lunch counters and waiting rooms also violated the law.
Despite these rulings the practice of segregation continued in many States and Civil Rights groups decided to protest the ongoing rights violations with such actions as lunch counter sit-ins and integrated interstate bus rides that brought needed media attention to these injustices at grave risk to the activists who participated.
Twelve Days in May won the Sibert Award for the most distinguished Non-Fiction book for children, and Brimner does an exceptional job of presenting this time in U.S. History. He places the protest ride in the context of the politics of the times and presents the protesters’ heroism and the very real dangers of their actions without sensationalism. He employs photographs from the ride to profound effect, and the book design intersperses black print on white and white print on black in thought provoking ways. For me, the most stunning (not in a good way) photo in the book is an image of two white children both under the age of ten, looking out a car window. The boy is dressed in KKK garb, and taped to the car door is a sign that reads, “Southern whites are the negroes’ best friends but NO INTEGRATION.”
This book provides an important close-up look this event and its impact on the history of race in America.
Ages 10 & up.
