Programming your chosen off time couldn't be simpler. A sustained 10 second press of the button enters programming mode. Just tap the button once for each minute of run time you require, up to 60 minutes. Programming mode expires 10 seconds after the last tap, and the unit then commits your settings to memory. If you happen to press the button more than 60 times, the maximum run time of 60 minutes will be stored.

There’s been a lot of interest in doing something for the people who are waiting in line for hours to vote. Here’s one thing you can do — give to Pizza to the Polls which delivers pizzas to people waiting in long lines.
There’s also Chefs for the Polls, which you can give to here (they’re not on ActBlue).
I got a lot of requests to promote down ballot races. I’m working on something for Texas and I’ll do something for PA soon too. Here’s NC and Kansas, both of which are on Sam Wang’s Moneyball list.
Kansas State Democratic Party
North Carolina State Democratic Party
Here’s some selected races from NC too.
Balloon Juice Flip NC (split between ll NC state legislature candidates)
All this crazy fundraising we and others on the left are doing is working. It gets mentioned in every article I read about non-presidential races. It’s the wave of the future. We’re on to something. See everything we are supporting here.
I’ve been giving to the Kansas Dems for a while and all their emails start with a big sunflower.
I wasn’t planning on giving any more $$$, kinda tapped out, but pizza to the polls was too good to pass on.
@Van Buren: Likewise. This strikes me as kind of immediately important.
Followed in your footsteps.
Pizza to the polls is great!
In 15 minutes the voter protection training session starts. Fired up!
We know it’s working because Lindsay Graham keeps whining about it even during the SC hearings. lol.
Joy in FL
Pizza to the Polls— I love how people find ways to help, both the funding of it and the idea and the delivery. There are so many ways to be kind.
Ready to go!
Obama tells the story of famed chant fired up read to go:
Man, I sure hope Quinnipiac polling isn’t skewed the wrong way. If it’s accurate, we are in blowout territory.
Gin & Tonic
I wasn’t going to check every thread, but I don’t think there’s been a BJ thermometer for the 48 for 10 project or whatever it’s called, that’s looking to flip statehouses. I tossed them some coin today anyway.
As a Kansas Dem (although registered Republican so that I can fuck with their primaries), I thank you!
Contributed to Chefs to the polls this morning because of what they’ve done to help people in line for hours in Georgia.
One thing that I would like to see more of is grassroots fundraising for news gathering and community organization. Fundraising for politicians in election season has its place, obviously, but people also have to look at creating a friendlier environment for liberal politicians to run in if they want to see consistent progress take place.
I’m as bad as anyone else when it comes to bitching about the Bothsiderists at the New York Times and other places, but we all have to realize that they will never change. The editors take their marching cues from their owners and that is that. That said, ActBlue-style fundraising might be able to build a new style of ownership which would allow for a better kind of journalism. It would take billions of dollars to change the news industry, but ActBlue has raised billions, so it is possible.
Without meaningful changes to the way we do news, we will be replaying this election four years from now and then again eight years from now, always running uphill while Fox openly race-baits and the New York Times goes on Cletus Safaris. I thought the blogging culture in the 00s was beginning to make a dent, but a lot of bloggers from back in the day burned themselves out and retreated to Twitter. The trouble with using Twitter as a news source is that even the good journalists on Twitter helped bring about the rise of you-know-who by lending credibility to his chosen medium. Something has to change here.
I don’t have a lot of money, but it is so damn inspiring to see these numbers and how much this little blog has raised for so many key races. This is really a unique and amazing community.
I just voted in Texas, third day of early voting. Stood in line for 30 minutes. Not bad at all.

These Income Segments Can't Afford Housing At Market Prices
Large developers rarely cater to households at the bottom of the income pyramid. But housing markets are interdependent. In developed countries, houses built for the upper classes usually trickle down to the middle and lower classes over time. This is because we live in houses that are more spacious than what our ancestors had. This is not necessarily true, because people who migrate to large Indian cities usually consume lesser space than their parents did. But this does not change the fact that the average household consumes more space today than they did many decades ago.
In Indian metropolises, houses do not trickle down enough from the upper classes to the middle and lower classes because not much floor space is being built in the heart of cities. Floor space is so expensive, and developers are not allowed to build more of it. So, there is not much of an incentive for high-income households to sell their houses to a middle or a low-income household, and move into a more spacious house.
According to Mckinsey, the bottom two segments cannot afford a 26 sq mt house in Greater Mumbai and most Tier-1 cities. Mckinsey estimates that with major policy reforms, most households that earn 50-80 per cent of the median income will be able to afford livable houses, without subsidies and other forms of assistance.
Governments across the world are aware that many households cannot afford housing that meets minimum standards. So, they set ambitious targets like the Narendra Modi government's mission to build “Housing For All” by 2022. As even prosperous countries do not have unlimited budgets, such goals are unrealistic.
When governments set unrealistic targets, this leads to many unintended consequences. Firstly, households that are unable to afford houses that cannot meet minimum standards will live in informal houses, and slip out of the formal economy. So, they live in more congested spaces. More households squeeze themselves into congested spaces as they do in Mumbai and other Indian cities. As the informal economy is large in India, the cost to the economy is huge. They will also find it difficult to afford a formal house later in life because it is difficult to improve your financial condition if you are not part of the formal economy. Their real estate assets cannot be easily traded in the market or used as collateral for loans. Secondly, to meet unrealistic targets, governments build houses in areas that do not have proper infrastructure, amenities or jobs. It is cheaper for government contractors to buy land in such areas.
The fact is that it takes time for developing countries to improve housing standards. When a country is poor, it is good to allow many households to live in houses that do not meet minimum housing standards. Low-income households will be able to move into formal houses if they are provided electricity, water supply and sewerage, along with the freedom to trade their assets in the market. The stock of rental housing has declined in most Indian cities, especially in north India. People who live in informal houses do not improve their existing houses because they may lose tenure at any moment. In fact, this should bother us more than the fact that many households live in informal houses.
The media often pits the wealthy who live in high rises against slum dwellers. But if households that live in high rises are allowed to move into more spacious houses, they will be able to sell their current apartments to low-income households. For this to happen, the government should remove restrictions on what to build, where to build and how to build. Hong Kong, for example, has done precisely this. Skyscrapers are not built at the expense of slum-dwellers. When income levels rise, high-income families in cities like Delhi are more likely to move to suburbs, leaving their apartments in the centre of the city to others. But this will not happen if the government imposes rent control restrictions, or keep central city floor space too expensive.
One of the problems with India's housing policy is that it places too much emphasis on building houses for the poor. But it really matters whether landlords are able to profitably rent out existing houses to the poor. It really matters whether high-income households are able to sell their houses in the resale market to low-income households. Income levels of households rise over years. The economic condition of low-income households usually improve over years. So, the housing market is undergoing many changes all the time. If governments are too lazy to wait, such changes may never happen.

[Panic Fest 2021 Review] 'Vicious Fun' is a Blood-Soaked Horror-Comedy that Fully Embodies Its Title
“We are about to have a lot of fun tonight…”
…And if fun is what you’ve found yourself needing more and more of these days—let’s face it, we all need a good boost—then good news, because director Cody Calahan’s (The Oak Room) Vicious Fun is the rare film that embodies its title in every sense.
Written by James Villeneuve and set in 1983—you know, the greatest decade for slasher films--Vicious Fun, which just had its U.S. premiere at Panic Fest 2021, follows Joel (Evan Marsh), a horror movie fan boy who writes for a Fangoria-esque magazine called Vicious Fanatics and has such an ego that even his crush/roommate Sarah (Alexa Rose Steele) has to question if he even likes anything at all. A jealous weirdo who struggles with what’s socially acceptable and not, Joel follows Sarah’s most recent date, Bob (Ari Millen), to a bar to learn more about how it went, failing to hold his liquor and passing out in the bathroom. That’s just the beginning of Joel’s bad night though, as he wakes up to discover a sort of Serial Killers Anonymous type group has taken over the now closed joint, and it isn’t long before they realize Joel isn’t one of them.
Vicious Fun wastes no time setting the atmosphere, opening on a scene straight out of an 80s slasher flick, with an abundance of horror movie fog washing over a seedy hotel and set to Steph Copeland’s energetic and excellent 80s horror-inspired synth score. This is a film that basks in the vibe of our favorite slashers like Elizabeth Bathory basks in blood. A surprising twist and some bloodshed later, and we find Joel interviewing a schlocky horror director.
For some of us horror dorks, Joel is going to feel like an attack—albeit a justified one—because he’s the worst of us fans who think we know everything embodied into one person. Rude and full of himself to the point of the audience wanting to face palm every time he opens his mouth, Joel slams the director over continuing to make slashers with “slow-moving” killers, and suggests his “brilliant” idea of a killer who drives a taxi cab. Never do this, people. Later, we find Joel coming up with lines for the taxi driver script he’s of course writing, spouting cringy phrases such as “windshield wipers slash like deadly knives”, to which he adds, “nice.” Simply put, he’s a hack who doesn’t know it yet and is an obnoxious film-bro type character that’s difficult to love, but Marsh brings so much charm to the performance that it’s not too hard to overlook how annoying Joel is and start rooting for him when shit goes sideways.
Joel’s views are ultimately part of the film’s commentary on the genre, which is to say that no matter how much the slasher genre and its killers change or fans clamor for something “different”, the films are only ever as good as the vicious fun they allow themselves to have. Screw logic. Forget how the killer operates. It’s all about the bloody entertainment.
And Vicious Fun is 100% killer entertainment.
Calahan’s film aims to poke fun at—from a loving place, mind you—a variety of killers which viewers will recognize as homages to slasher villains. There’s the Patrick Bateman-esque Bob, the Jason Voorhees incarnate, hulking behemoth Mike (Robert Maillet)—who views his “essence animal” as a shark—and, well, you’ll just have to figure out on your own who military nutjob Zachary (David Koechner), methodic Fritz (Julian Richings), crazed cannibal Hideo (Sean Baek), and indifferent badass Carrie (Amber Goldfarb) all represent. Each actor fully embraces the tropes of their characters, with Villeneuve’s clever dialogue bringing each to life in new and interesting ways while shining a light on their evil souls and what makes them tick. Koechner is creepier than he’s ever been on screen, but the standout here is Millen as Bob, who plays the role like Patrick Bateman hopped up on pixie sticks and is just having the time of his life.
To say anything more about the plot would spoil the twisty narrative of Vicious Fun, so let’s just say that this film slashes through expectations and loads up on surprises like Jason Voorhees loads up on a body count. Stylish and fast-paced, Vicious Fun is a blood-soaked adventure through 80s slasher tropes that will cut a grin into the most hardened of faces.
Calahan’s sharp horror-comedy plays up the humor with a heightened sense of reality that allows the filmmaker to stretch our sense of what’s acceptable in this universe. So, it feels completely natural when Joel encounters a trio of bumbling cops screaming about never insulting a man’s mustache or one even going full meta as he explains the genre to his associates, calling it “shocking, surprising, and downright delightful,” a sentiment which perfectly describes Vicious Fun.
And before you ask, yes, Vicious Fun is a film that doesn’t just spill blood, it revels in it. A love letter to slashers would be nothing without good gore, and Calahan packs his film to the brim with all of the intestine pulling, throat slitting and eye gouging your heart desires, all of it executed with a tongue in cheek style that never lets the blood-spilling feel anything but entertaining. Admittedly, the film is lacking in creativity when it comes to the kills, which is a let down for a movie paying homage to a genre that lives off of memorable slashings, but each of these moments are entertaining enough that we can look past that.
A less than likeable hero and (mostly) forgettable kills aside, any horror fan who has been seeking something with that fun, horror movie party vibe similar to Friday the 13th Part 3 is going to find a gruesome gem in Vicious Fun. This is the kind of film that slays at slumber parties and is destined to be one of the best horror-comedies of the year.

The US received the Iron Dome defense system over 8 months ago and ran its first series of tests in New Mexico; The tests revealed how Iron Dome would respond to a variety of different enemy projectiles.
Approximately 8 months ago, the US military acquired the elite Iron Dome missile defense system from Israel’s Rafael, IAI Elta, and mPrest. As of this week, it’s reported that the US conducted several tests this summer with the system, involving a wide range of potential threats, including rockets, missiles, drones, and more. As reported by The Times of Israel, Iron Dome is also capable of shooting down mortars and cruise missiles since receiving an upgrade.
The preliminary tests are reported to have taken place in New Mexico. The US is still determining where they will eventually deploy the systems.
Iron Dome is heavily relied upon by the Jewish State for daily defense purposes, especially due to the rise of Iranian aggression via its proxies throughout the region, namely in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. Back in May, close to 6,000 rockets were fired from Gaza, 95% of which were shot down by Iron Dome.

When Cosmo Wenman went to the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles in late May, he did what many people do.
Reinhold Wuerth, a German billionaire who turned a family-owned screw wholesaler into a global company, paid more than $70 million to buy a Holbein painting, beating a bid from the Staedel Museum in Frankfurt.
The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles agreed to return a 17th-century Dutch painting to the heir of a Jewish art dealer who was forced to flee the Netherlands when the Nazis invaded.
A Raphael drawing sold last night at auction for $47.8 million, the highest price for any work on paper.
It took three flatbed trucks, two cranes and a crew of 20 to install Roy Lichtenstein’s sculptures of bold brushstrokes on the front lawn of the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, New York.
A Picasso painting was among early sales as Ronald Lauder, Kanye West and Sheikh Saud al Thani were among VIPs browsing the world’s biggest art and antiques fair.

Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) dived 9 percent minutes after its 1Q19 earnings report hit Wall Street and a lot of people who should know better explained the move by claiming that guidance had fallen off a cliff.
After all, audience expansion had slowed, content spending had accelerated and once-friendly partnerships with studios like The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS) are now turning into rivalries, leaving NFLX looking nosebleed-priced at 87X earnings with no clear route to grow into that valuation. At least that’s the story that circulated, but within minutes the 9 percent swoon corrected and the next morning NFLX was moving up.
The numbers didn’t magically shift overnight. Neither did the competitive landscape. The only thing that changed is that investors who were paying attention got to see what happens when we try to build a coherent story around noise.
Falling for the Head Fake
Neither the trailing results, nor management’s 2Q19 outlook were any better or worse than we expected. The underlying Netflix narrative has not changed. People who say it has are caught in the noise.
With nearly 149 million paid users around the world, the company remains the undisputed center of what’s always been a crowded video-streaming universe. It’s still growing that audience about 25 percent a year.
Each of those users pays about $10 a month. That hasn’t changed either. There’s no sign of aggressive discounting for Netflix to add new subscribers or retain them in the face of competition.
Maybe at some point in the future, Netflix will need to cut prices. For now, however, it’s still attracting 2.5 million people a month, once you adjust for known seasonal factors.
The spring quarter is notoriously slow, for example. The company only added 5 million accounts in 2Q 2018, and management expects similar performance this year.
That’s the biggest hint of “weakening guidance” in the press release. And since revenue per user looks like it will hit a record $32 a share in 2Q19, NFLX is still growing the top line a healthy 26% a year even if a natural limit is now in sight.
Operating margins are holding up. If not for massive spending on licensing existing content and creating original shows, I have the feeling the company could easily earn $5.50 a share in the coming year.
All management needs to do is shut down the acquisition machine, scale back future growth plans and let the profits flow. I don’t actively recommend NFLX because even that scenario translates into something like 60X earnings — which is too rich for us!
And realistically, Wall Street has demonstrated that the aggressive content strategy is all right. It’s a known factor. If you heard about it from the earnings release, you probably shouldn’t be buying or selling the stock right now anyway.
After all, NFLX is back at 87X earnings after investors have had a full day to digest the numbers. They don’t mind. They’re comfortable holding on as the company grows.
The chart supports my neutral posture. NFLX is known for harrowing downswings and exhilarating recoveries that can create or destroy 90 percent of your starting stake in a matter of weeks.
Neither one seems imminent here. The stock has been exploring a fairly wide 26 percent trading band for the last three months. These numbers clearly weren’t enough to prompt a convincing move in either direction.
Disney Can Still Be a Friend
So, leave NFLX to drift another three months or until it breaks out of its trading band, whichever comes first. The rest is short-term noise obscuring what’s still a solid long-term disruption story.
I love the innovation that this company already has unleashed. In barely a decade, the pivot from DVD mail-in rental to independent streaming-only film studio has been profound.
The business model remains unchanged, however. The goal here isn’t replacing Hollywood. It is redefining premium television for a future beyond the legacy cable TV box.
Netflix has managed to coexist for its entire lifetime with HBO, for example. They’re both premium channels, charging millions of people a few dollars a month for access to a mix of proprietary content and licensed shows.
People who love television subscribe to both. If money gets tight, the pay-television subscribers can always pull the cable cord and suddenly they can save (on average) $100 a month.
After all, while you can only watch one show at a time, we all appreciate variety. As the cable stranglehold weakens, I suspect the future will leave most households with 3-5 premium subscriptions replacing the old video bundle.
There’s a lot of talk about Disney as one of those subscriptions. That’s great. Disney is cartoons, superheroes, Star Wars and family fare. I doubt it will compete directly for the HBO crowd much less people who love Netflix originals.
The Disney Channel has lived on the cable box for decades without killing HBO. I think Netflix, with its 149 million users, will coexist just fine here.
That said, the hype around Disney Streaming has gotten out of hand as well.
They’re paying a fortune buying other media franchises and developing new ones as well, but unlike Netflix, they’re struggling to grow. Going direct to consumers will help the margins but doesn’t trigger a dramatic reappraisal of the entire company.
You won’t find DIS in my GameChangers portfolio. NFLX, on the other hand, can be interesting at the right price.

It's a total of 14 boxes made out of galvanized steel with roosting posts but the catch is... each nesting box is only 8.5" wide. I'm new to chickens, they are only 1 week old today, but I assume they are all standard size breeds: Barred Rocks, Black Sex Links, Silver Laced Wyandottes, Easter Eggers, and Buff Orpingtons. I've read the smaller the box the less chance of them eating their eggs, but how small is too small for these guys? Thanks!

CIOT/IFS debate: Taxing Families - 30 years after the introduction of independent taxation have we got it right?
Please join us for the latest in a series of lectures and debates being organised by the CIOT and the IFS to promote debate among policy-makers, opinion-formers and the wider tax and economics communities on the future of the UK and international tax systems.
In the summer of 1988 Parliament passed legislation bringing in independent taxation of husbands and wives. 30 years on, our debate will assess how the system is faring, considering questions such as:
- Should the transferable Marriage Allowance be extended – or scrapped?
- Has the High Income Child Benefit Charge undermined the principle of independent taxation?
- Is there a contradiction between individual assessment for tax and joint assessment for tax credits and benefits?
- Does it matter that government uses different definitions of a couple across the tax and benefit system?
The panel will consist of:

Biden’s Hopes For Second Term Crushed By Skyrocketing Mortgage Rates
(RepublicanNews.org) – While President Biden isn’t up for reelection in the midterms, his party still has plenty to worry about. Adding to the long list of issues the Democratic Party must overcome before this year’s election season arrives are rising mortgage rates. The most recent surge is the largest Americans have witnessed since 1980.
The 30-year mortgage rate in the US rises to 5.27%, its highest level since 2009. Last year it hit an all-time low of 2.65%.
The 2.16% spike in mortgage rates over the last 4 months is the largest 4-month increase we've seen since 1980. pic.twitter.com/elDAGtXMKC
— Charlie Bilello (@charliebilello) May 5, 2022
According to a recent Politico report, mortgage rates are skyrocketing faster than they have in over 40 years. The increase is pushing Americans in every age group further and further away from homeownership.
Home refinancing is also set to take a serious hit. The surge could result in the loss of billions of dollars in spending power for consumers.
The news means trouble for Biden’s economy. The softer housing market shows signs it might stabilize after several months, but increased rates mean Americans won’t be able to build as much equity or wealth through homeownership. With fears of a potential recession looming, they’ll have less money to put back into the economy because of rising mortgage payments.
With the risk of the housing market slowing down, President Biden and most Democrats face a serious challenge. Americans already hold a negative view of the economy because of rising inflation. The Federal Reserve will take more aggressive action to stifle it as it continues to rise, which is exactly why it hiked interest rates in the first place. Democrats looking to be reelected in the midterms had better find a way to improve the situation, or they may face being ousted by Republicans.

I love living abroad. For the first time in a long time, I know where I belong. It’s abroad, doing what I’m doing, teaching kids, and being apart of a community here. My life on social media looks pretty fabulous, traveling around the world, experiencing many aspects of Japanese culture, and having the coolest opportunities. And, really, for the most part I love it. But I have to say, the week of American Thanksgiving is usually one of the hardest of the year.
I love American Thanksgiving. It comes a few short weeks before Christmas, it is a two day holiday from work that is so much needed, it’s filled with food, family, and friends. For me, this is one of the most important holidays of the year. We simply celebrate what we’re thankful for. Pilgrams, smilgrams, I don’t really care. This holiday for me is taking required time off and spending it with those who are important to you--it’s not just about who you’re related to, it’s about taking those in whose family is far away, sharing a meal, and feeling the food coma afterward.
While I’m in Japan, this day is obviously not celebrated as a national holiday. It’s just another day here, with the same day-in and out as any other day. Living the expat life, this day has become a day where I get to share such a special part of my culture with the culture I currently live in. We are reminded that it’s good to be thankful every day of the year, and not just one. That maybe Japan doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving, but that Thanksgiving is truly a concept that can cross all borders and seasons of the year.
Even though this post is coming a few days after Thanksgiving, happy Thanksgiving to all--no matter your culture. Take some time today to share what you’re thankful for, or simply give someone a hug. Thanksgiving is not just the fourth Thursday in November. It’s 365 days a year.

Earlier this month, nurses also voted to take part in strike action, for the first time ever, in a dispute over pay and working conditions.
With this in mind and with more strikes planned for the months ahead, could a general strike take place in the UK?
Here’s what you need to know.
What is a general strike?
A general strike is essentially when a vast number of different unions and workers come together to go on strike to achieve economic or political goals.
As per the dictionary definition, a general strike is ‘the stoppage of work by a substantial proportion of workers in a number of industries in an organised endeavour to achieve economic or political objectives.’
There have been many effective strikes which have had economic and political impact that aren’t considered general strikes, though.
Take the miners’ strikes of the 1970s and 1980s, or the Winter of Discontent in 1978 and 1979 which saw many public service workers down tools and go on strike. These were effective, organised strikes that shifted the political spectrum, but they were isolated to specific industries.
A general strike would see similar behaviours but from a wider network of unions at the same time.
Could there be a general strike in the UK?
There’s no indication a general strike is on the cards. A general strike would need larger umbrella organisations, like Unite and Trade Union Congress (TUC) to support it.
However, when announcing further rail strike dates for December and January in a statement yesterday, Lynch said the RMT will attempt to coordinate strike action with other unions.
He said: ‘We call upon all trades unionists in Britain to take a stand and fight for better pay and conditions in their respective industries.
‘And we will seek to coordinate strike action and demonstrations where we can.’
This could mean that rail workers, nurses, postal workers and more could all strike on the same day.
Has the UK ever had a general strike before?
A general strike was first (and, so far, last) attempted in the UK in 1926, when three of the then five million trade unionists took industrial action for nine days.
The only one to take place in Britain, the general strike was called on May 3, 1926 by the Trade Union Congress in response to the poor working conditions and lessening of pay.
As the strike went underway, the Emergency Powers Act was introduced to maintain supplies, and the armed forces, supported by volunteers, were used to keep basic services running.
Alas, the strike wasn’t actually a success.
The strike was found to be unprotected by the Trade Dispute Act of 1906, except for the coal industry, meaning that the unions became liable for the intention to breach contracts. This saw unions facing legal action and workers forced to return to work or face being unemployed.
As a result of the strike, in 1927, the Trade Disputes Act was introduced by Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, an act which banned any sympathy strikes as well as mass picketing.
This act is still in force today.

Kendrick Lamar Becomes First Hip Hop Artist to Win Pulitzer Prize
The 30 year old American rapper released his latest album Damn in April last year for which he won five Grammy awards. The album achieved Platinum in just a month after its release and sold more than a million copies in America. The album included raps that highlighted the racial issues the artist has faced throughout his life as well as the current racial atmosphere in USA.
An administrator of the Pulitzer Prize, Dana Canedy, said, “We are very proud of this selection. It means that the jury and its board judging system worked as it’s supposed to – the best work was awarded a Pulitzer Prize.” She went on to say, “It shines a light on hip-hop in a completely different way. This is a big moment for hip-hop music and a big moment for the Pulitzers.”
The Pulitzer Prize for music has never been won by a hip hop artist before, previous winners including jazz musicians Wynton Marsalis and Ornette Coleman, which is why the win is such a huge deal. Organizers of the honorable prize said that the album showcases “affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of modern African-American life.”Disclaimer:We do not allow users to post content which is copyright and We take strict actions against the users who post infringement content on our website.Although we do not host any content, users post embed videos from youtube, facebook, Dailymotion and Vimeo and are moderated before posting but we still take strict action against the copyright videos posted.If you are an official representative of any company whose videos are posted illegally on our website or you think some video infringe the copyright then you can simply send an email to email@example.com

Having my staff Christmas dinner the night before could have made today go one of two ways. Plenty of food, drink and good times I had an amazing night with my GF and friends from work. Getting into bed at 2.30 a.m. I knew it was going to be a rough one in the morning!
Waking up I felt surprisingly fresh, I decided to ride over to the race today to get some extra training in. VC Glendale were hosting the final round of the series and after arriving at the track I was really impressed with the work that had gone into setting up the race.
After doing a few laps of the track I knew it was going to be a really tough race. With the overnight rain there was plenty of mud to go around but never the less I was looking forward to getting stuck in.
Whistle blown and we are off! As always the start is flat out and half way through the first lap I had managed to make my way into 2nd place. Knowing there was a quality field of riders behind me I tried to settle into a fast pace and just keep ticking away.
Glen Kinning passed me early on and I was now in 3rd, this is where I would stay for another couple of laps before eventually being passed by Barry Kellett, a man on a mission going for the overall series. I tried to stick with him however he was too strong for me today.
On the last lap I got a short burst of energy and was starting to close the gap to both Glen and Barry but I ran out of time and finished out the race in 4th, and 1st unplaced U23 rider.
I felt today went well and I was pleased with my result. Thanks to VC Glendale for hosting a great event. Congratulations to Roger on the win today, he was in a league of his own, back to the drawing board haha! Full results will be posted once available.
Over and out 🙂

Night before my first marathon of 2017, and I am beat, mentally and physically.
As I sit here on the couch begging my self to have energy for tomorrow and drinking a gallon of water to keep hydrated, I think about why the heck do I keep signing up for these half marathons.
It’s been a long week, or geeze a long couple months, oh heck it’s been a crazy couple years.
A couple of months ago when I first started training for the 2017 season, I naturally just went out for a run on our gravel roads. Since we live 11 kms from the nearest paved roads, it’s convenient to just have the start line at the end of my driveway.
As I set out for this one specific run, I was having a hard time getting into the zone. Now if your not a runner you might not know what I’m talking about.
“The runners zone”(my definition): To get to a place where you think about nothing except that open road infront of you. And by nothing I mean not thinking about what you have to do the rest of the day, or how many bills are owing, or how you got angry at the kids earlier because they colored on the wall(again), or how you just spent a fortune on an unnecessary bill because your dogs decided to attack a porcupine not only once but now twice, or how you never can get anything done, because there is always just so much to do.
The list goes on and it NEVER stops.
So back to this particular day that I set out for my 5 miler. I was having a really hard time getting into the runners zone this time and felt the weight of life dragging behind me. As I ran down that gravel road I had a thought about the terrain I was on. Over winter the roads get all bent out of shape and in the spring the grader goes down the road to smooth it out, and usually pulls up a lot of the bigger pebbles and rocks.
3 miles into my run I came to a stop and looked for just the right rock. Couldn’t be to big and needed to be just the right size. It was a small plain grey rock that fit just right into the palm of my hand.
I realized something that day.
Each time I ran on that road I was always running ‘away’ from something. Every step I took I dodged different size rocks, just like we do with the hard things in life.
So I decided to pick up one of those’hard things’ aka the rock to symbolize my struggle and the things that hold me down in life. I decided that this run I was going to carry and embrace the craziness instead of letting drag behind.
And when I was ready to get rid of it and free myself of those daily burdens I would simply just toss that rock away.
See there is always going to be pebbles, or rocks or even boulders in the way in our life. We all deal with our burdens and stresses differently but I finally have found a way to relieve the burdens(even though it’s only for that run sometimes), and just throw them away.
I discovered my love for running almost 20 years ago, and always loved the ‘runners high’.(Endorphines appear to be involved in runner’s high, the state of euphoria some runners report after a prolonged period of exercise, but what exactly is the state that these runners are feeling? There is a close connection between the mind and the body when a person is running).
So I will continue to run and experience the ‘runners high’ and get in my ‘runners zone’ and pick up the pebbles along the way and hold them when I need a reminder that something is holding me down. Each marathon that I train and run for is a symbol of my hard work and dedication, and commitment to only myself. For every run and marathon that I complete, I feel this unbelievable sense of accomplishment that Is so hard to describe. But when you wear that race bib you are proud and have a beautiful sense of accomplishment when you cross that finish line and someone immediately comes up to you and congratulates you as they slip that medal over your head. Those are the moments that I cherish and feel proud to do over and over, because sometimes in life moments don’t feel like they come like that so often.
So I sit here, now excited about the upcoming run, and can’t wait to have that medal around my neck and the fire in my soul.
And as the ‘runners high’ kicks in as I travel the rocky uneven roads of tomorrow, when I am ready I can simply ‘toss away’ my worries for the day and continue on with my ❤ for running.

If you have been reading here any length of time then you know that we have a 6 year gap between our 2nd and 3rd daughters. We coined the term The Bigs and Littles when Ace, our 4th daughter joined the family. In essence we have one big family with two different dynamics.
I have already seen my oldest two learn to read and the journey was sweet, easy and educational for me. Aly loved to be read to and would sit for a very long time to listen to just about any book I read out loud. This includes chapter books with no pictures. Being an avid reader this was wonderful for me.
Then SiSi came along and she was a different child. She preferred picture books and would wail in agony when I would sit down to read aloud from “chapter books”. If it didn’t have pictures she wasn’t having it. She was also not really big into sitting still while I read. She didn’t want to look at the pictures and turn the pages like Aly did. She would put puzzles together while I read. I was amazed that later, even though she had been occupied with something else, she could talk about what I had read.
Aly learned to read mostly from being read too and playing games. SiSi learned from being read too and from “Reading Made Easy” by Valerie Bendt. She asked for a reading curriculum and so that is the path we chose. She would go through several lessons in a sitting, leave it for a few weeks, come back to it and then one day we both realized that she was reading and we hadn’t even finished the entire book.
There were no tears (ok, a few in the kindergarten stage before I loosened up), no huge struggles, just us flowing at their pace in the ways that they learned best.
Then there are the littles. I don’t think I’ll make it through the process of them learning to read. Reading aloud to them makes me want to pull my hair out. Seriously, the act of sitting down to read to them is something that I really want to look forward too. In reality though, I am mentally running in the opposite direction shouting “SAVE ME! SAVE ME!” There are no tranquil moments of reading while the children are quiet beside you or at your feet. When I read to the littles it looks more like I am trying to wrangle chickens. I can’t get through a sentence without someone asking a question about the picture on the page. Someone is usually trying to turn the page before I am ready or I can’t see to read because they are practically on top of the book trying to see the pictures. Then you throw a 1yo into the mix who thinks that the ripping of pages is the coolest sound on earth and you have one very stressed out and disillusioned mommy.
I was pining for the days of old, remembering how wonderful it was and wondering why in the world it wasn’t that way now and it dawned on me. When I had the bigs there were three years between the two of them. Not to mention that SiSi was very content to play next to us instead of be in the same space with us and the book.
With the littles I have a 4, 2, and 1yo that are all acting very normal in their development, all at the same time!!!! A 4yo should be curious and ask questions. If it was just her I know I wouldn’t feel so overwhelmed. But it isn’t just her. Ace asks question too. She has no concept of sentences and the end of the page yet. Z thinks my lap belongs to only her so she constantly fights to remove her sisters from that space along with whatever book I happen to have there.
It is just different and I have a feeling that everything with the littles will be different. Closely spaced siblings are definitely a different dynamic than those that are spaced out.
I will have to be more creative, find different approaches to doing things and most definitely I will have to let go of preconceived ideas based on my past experiences and embrace the experiences that I get to have now in this moment.
Living and learning,

This paper presents results from a randomized control trial in which approximately 1,000 OLPC XO laptops were provided for home use to children attending primary schools in Lima, Peru. The intervention increased access and use of home computers, with some substitution away from computer use outside the home. Beneficiaries were more likely to complete domestic chores but less likely to read books. Treatment children scored almost one standard deviation higher in a test of XO proficiency, though there were no effects on objective and self-reported skills for using a Windows-based PC and Internet. There were positive impacts on the Raven’s Progressive Matrices test among children who did not have a home computer before the intervention, but no significant effects for the sample as a whole. Finally, there was little evidence for spillovers within schools, although close friends and classmates of laptop recipients did exhibit higher proficiency with the XO computer.
This paper reports the results of an experiment with secondary school students designed to improve their ability to reason, argument, and communicate using mathematics. These goals are at the core of many educational reforms. A structured pedagogical intervention was created that fostered a more active role of students in the classroom. The intervention was implemented with high fidelity and wa ... (View publication)
Although many countries are aggressively implementing the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) program, there is a lack of empirical evidence on its effects. This paper presents the impact of the first large-scale randomized evaluation of the OLPC program, using data collected after 15 months of implementation in 319 primary schools in rural Peru. The results indicate that the program increased the ratio o ... (View publication)

Emily Andre shares rare photo of daughter Amelia, 7, as she celebrates birthday as dad Pete battles coronavirus
Emily Andre has posted a rare snap of her daughter Amelia to celebrate her 7th birthday – while husband Peter continues his coronavirus battle.
The sweet photo shows Amelia – affectionately nicknamed Millie Moo – gazing off into the countryside, with her face turned away from the camera.
Another shot posted to Instagram flashes back seven years to a sweet picture of baby Amelia’s tiny feet.
Emily – an NHS doctor currently fighting on the frontline of the Covid pandemic – is notoriously private about showing Amelia and four-year-old son Theodore's faces online.
She captioned the image: “My little girl is 7 today! Not so little any more! Happy birthday Millie Moo ❤”
The 31-year-old mum also took to Instagram Story to showcase a bright pink balloon display – which she noted was delivered just in time for the special day.
A last-minute rush for decorations could potentially have something to do with dad Peter's current condition.
The Sun revealed yesterday that the 47-year-old Mysterious Girl hitmaker has been feeling extremely tired and “struggles to breathe” as he fights off coronavirus.
He is currently isolating at the family’s luxurious Surrey mansion, and is recovering well, his management confirmed.
Despite his illness, he was able to celebrate Amelia’s birthday from a safe distance.
Alongside a snap of the balloon display, he wrote: “Happy 7th birthday to my beautiful, kind and incredibly clever daughter Amelia.
“Love you to the moon and back …..and back. Its going be a quiet one but still as special as ever even if it’s distanced ?
“Ps thank you to @tofclass_ for delivering our balloons at such short notice. Amazing.”
Dr Emily and Peter share Amelia and Theodore, while Pete is also dad to Princess, 13, and 15-year-old son Junior, who he shares with ex Katie Price.

'Christ in You...'
by Dale Krebbs
There is much said today - and rightly so - about God the Father and Jesus the Christ the Son. But often it seems that he third member of the Godhead is missing. Could it be that there is a lack of spiritual energy and power because we have inadvertently “grieved the Holy Spirit” by neglecting or ignoring Him? We do so at our spiritual peril (Ephesians 4:30). Could it be that we are among those to whom Paul addressed saying that he could not communicate to them spiritual things because they were yet carnal (1 Corinthians 3:1)? There are many references in 1 Corinthians 3 to the spiritual. The Corinthians considered themselves to be very “spiritual”.
However, the congregation was burdened with failures in morality, idolatry, etc., due to the rampant pagan environment in which they existed. Paul makes it plain that the problem, in the main, was their lack of a spiritual solution. Paul found it difficult to communicate spiritual things to so many who were so very unspiritual. He had a very strong response to the situation in Corinth. The root of the problems in Corinth was the lack of spirituality. The solution to those problems he traced to the lack of spiritual mindedness in them. Hence, the difficulty of communicating to them spiritual things, which would solve the problem. Therefore, he felt compelled to administer strong remedial correction, which included the admonition to become spiritually minded, rather than responding to life in a carnal, fleshly way.
The only real way to comprehend spiritual things is through our Intercessor, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the real answer to all question regarding understanding of the scriptures. Christ, by and through the Holy Spirit, will interpret the Word to the spiritual mind of each individual. The Spirit of God will interpret spiritual to spiritual. Which is another way of saying that the Holy Spirit will reveal its application. This is the ultimate solution to the enigma of Bible translations. The words can only be understood and applied by the Holy Spirit to our spirit. This is why Jesus said that His words are spirit and life. Therefore, when we read the Bible, we are experiencing the very spirit and life Jesus Christ - if we have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. This is the reason that so much can be said, but so little actually heard.
We must understand and believe that God knows the original intent of the Holy Spirit when the words of the Bible were first written. He is the only One still around Who was there. Therefore, we must look to Him to communicate to our spirit what was originally inspired. Equally important is the wisdom of how to apply what was originally inspired. Times have changed. Circumstances have changed. Again, the Holy Spirit in our spirit is the ultimate solution to understanding and applying the Word of God. From there on, it becomes a personal matter between us and the Holy Spirit residing within each believer. He will lead us, if we will follow. The struggle between translations, literalism, legalism, liberalism, the operation of words, etc. must be solved by the Holy Spirit, Who leads into all truth (John 16:13). Otherwise only mass confusion will result, which God never intended. The words that Christ spoke are Spirit, therefore they are Life (John 6:63).
During the time that the disciples were with Jesus, there was apparently much envy and jealousy, and competition between them. This is rather shocking in view of all the time that they spent with Jesus. However, even more shocking is to realize that the disciples were not converted. In that entire three and half years with Jesus, they were still not converted! Jesus plainly says as much when he says to Peter : "I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, strengthen your brethren" (Luke 22:32) Thus far, they had not received the Holy Spirit. They were not “converted”. The Holy Spirit is a down payment of the full payment of complete maturity in Christ to come later. Therefore, the Holy Spirit is the Facilitator of all real fellowship and companionship between the children of God. He is also the constant Companion of all of them, individually. He is always with us. We are never alone.
The Holy Spirit is the Love Giver. He imbues us with the Love Of God in our hearts (Romans 5:5). The Holy Spirit is the key to prayer. In our life of prayer - I pray that we all have a life of prayer - the Holy Spirit is our Audience, and our Witness even in our prayer closet. We do not pray alone. He is there. He is in us, with us, and knows what we feel when even we do not know what we feel. He knows what we mean even when we do not know what we mean. When we are striving in prayer, He is the divine Messenger who holds our prayer messages that we cannot express. The Father knows the mind of the Spirit Who knows that which we cannot express, and communicates it to the Father (Romans 8:26).
The Spirit in the written Word is greater than the letter of the written Word. This is the reason that the Law of Christ is greater than the Law of Moses. Although the Law is spiritual, it will not administer the Spirit of the Law’s intent (Romans 8:3). By the Law we know what sin is, but that is all (Romans 3:20). It cannot minister God’s righteousness. It is the Holy Spirit working in us, and with us, that we are being sanctified and recreated in Christ’s image. When Jesus was resurrected, and before He ascended into heaven to sit on the Father’s right hand, He promised to send the Holy Spirit to be with us always. He is Christ living in us, One in the same Spirit.
May we never grieve the Holy Spirit, the Administrator of God’s love (Romans 5:5), purpose and will. He is the Gift of the Father to us, Who is the Guarantor of our salvation (Ephesians 1:13). He is our Comforter in time of sorrow. He convicts us when we sin or are in the wrong, He convinces us of a truth that we may resist, so that we may grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18). He is our Educator, our Sustainer, and very eternal life in us. Lets us all come to acknowledge and respond to the Member of the Godhead that constantly ministers to us, works with us and in us all that is pleasing to Jesus Christ and God the Father. Christ by the Holy Spirit will interpret the spiritual to the spiritual mind.
If you not know the Holy Spirit in these ways, just ask your heavenly Father to minister more of Him to you. He will. He has promised (Luke 11:13).
"But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. For he will not speak on his own authority, but will speak whatever he hears, and will tell you what is to come. He will glorify me, because he will receive from me what is mine and will tell it to you. Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what is mine and will tell it to you." - John 16 :13-15 (NET)
