Cold nights means lazy days. It’s already halfway of the winter season and time is so quick.
This week was so stressful yet the week is still not finish. Or probably I’m just thinking too much.
Anyway, I’m enjoying my day watching and lots of reading from psych books to policies. I should’ve excluded those policies. Haha~

Warlord Games have put together a series of individual miniature packs allowing you to pick up single French Soldiers for dioramas and of course mixing in with existing Bolt Action armies to give them a bit more character. See what you think of the handful below…
There are a lot more of them to check out and they’re viewable by checking out the links above. The French are certainly one force that I’ve never really considered for World War II gaming but I think a few people are using them at my local store and it would be fun to see how they play. Some of the miniatures and the uniform designs are pretty awesome so that’s a big draw!
As well as these French miniatures there has also been an FAQ update for Bolt Action which you can check out after the jump HERE.
Are you a French player?

MISD accepts blame for MHS science mix-up
Published 10:19 am, Tuesday, February 14, 2012
Forty-four students in the Midland High School senior class found out late last week they must complete a one-year physics class by May to graduate on the state’s recommended graduation plan.
Because of an administrative error, students were not advised to take physics, though it is required by the state for graduation, said MHS Principal Jeff Horner.
“This is not a parent mistake or a kid mistake. It was our mistake,” Horner said.
Under the state’s four-by-four recommended graduation plan, students are required to take biology, physics, chemistry and a fourth-year science.
All Texas students are placed on the 26-credit recommended plan because it provides necessary prerequisites for students who will engage in post-secondary education. For students to graduate in May with credits necessary for college admission, they must complete the physics class by May.
However, students who plan to enter the workforce instead of attending college do have the option of a 22-credit minimum high school plan. The student, parent and school administrator must agree to enter that contract. Under that plan, students could graduate without the physics credit. Horner said a small number of students each year graduate under the minimum high school plan.
The error occurred because graduation requirements were interpreted incorrectly by MHS administrators and had been listed incorrectly on the MISD website, which indicated students could take two courses from a list of integrated physics and chemistry (IPC), chemistry and physics.
Many Midland High students affected by the recent transcript reviews had four science credits, but physics was not one of them, Horner said.
The students identified as credit-deficient have been pulled from their current science classes -- that include anatomy and physiology, environmental science and food science -- and placed in a class with a physics teacher to complete lab components.
Students must complete the course through the A Plus credit program online, Horner said. The lab will be open Monday through Saturday and a science teacher will be on hand to help students, Horner said.
“I’m taking the blame for the error,” Horner said. “We apologize to everyone who is affected, but our plan is to make it work so they can graduate on time.”
As long as students complete the coursework, they will graduate on time, Horner said.
“The truth is, we messed up,” Horner said. “I wouldn’t be happy with it as a parent, but this is what we have to do to fix it and it is doable.”
Superintendent Ryder Warren said completing a physics class online and in a short time frame is not ideal but is possible.
“We’re doing more in a shorter time-frame, so I can’t say it won’t require more effort from the students,” Horner said. “We still have to meet TEKS from the state and they must learn the information.”
Missing credits were discovered last week as the school conducted transcript reviews for seniors, Horner said. Lee High School Principal Stephanie Howard said this has not happened to any students at her school.
Warren said this mistake is an anomaly for MISD and something they are trying to correct.
“I personally apologize to our students and parents who have to deal with this,” Warren said.

“Splendid.” “A born dancer.” “A delight to watch.” Those were the words an adjudicator with a Wellington, New Zealand, dance competition wrote about dancer Esmé de Roland Burt following a performance in 1931.
The ballerina, who would later be known as Bebe Eversfield, a towering figure in the Victoria dance community, was just seven at the time. The prodigious talent would flower into both an exemplary dancer and once-in-a-lifetime personality.
Eversfield died in Victoria in February at the age of 97, a fully-lived life of glitz and glamour in her rearview mirror, along with a teaching legacy that is an integral part of local lore.
Her death resulted in an outpouring of emails to the Times Colonist, with many writing about their fond memories of her dance school on Broad Street.
“I knew she was very popular, but I didn’t know the extent of how many lives she touched,” said Craig Eversfield, one of four sons born to Bebe and Norman Eversfield, who were married in 1948.
Eversfield said he expects many who attend his mother’s public celebration of life, scheduled for Sunday at 2 p.m. at CFB Esquimalt, to be wowed by what the family has on display, including press clippings and photos from her early days as a dancer.
For many years in Victoria, she kept her personal and professional lives separate. It wasn’t until the last 10 years or so that her sons, who played sports and did not dance, came to know the full scope of her performing career, which included both film and theatre work in England and Australia.
“She never really told us any of this stuff. She was so humble,” Eversfield said. “I’d say: ‘Mom, I never knew you were so good.’ And she’d say: ‘I was OK.’ ”
She was better than OK. By the time she was 16, Eversfield was the closest thing to famous in the dance world at the time, joining a very small group of New Zealand-born dancers to earn the title of prima ballerina.
“She won every award,” said Sylvia Hosie, a longtime friend and one of Eversfield’s former students. “But it got to the point where she wasn’t allowed to compete anymore because she had won all the prizes.”
Due to the rigours of her career, Eversfield didn’t have what resembled a traditional home until she built and designed one for her family in Esquimalt.
She could often be found there, dressed impeccably — always in high heels — working away in her garden or dancing in the kitchen. “She was all about life,” Hosie said, laughing at the memory. “She just loved life.”
Dance is about precision, but personal expression — the desire to create — is also key. Eversfield valued both in equal amounts, and instilled that in her thousands of Victoria students over the years, including Esther John, later of the San Francisco Ballet, Ruth Norgaard (Les Grands Ballets Canadiens) and Todd Carter (The National Ballet of Canada).
Two other former Victoria students, General Hospital star Kathleen Gati and Oscar nominee Meg Tilly, eventually pursued careers in acting.
Eversfield was everything to her students. Local notables Hosie, Virginia (Gini) Foley, Brenda Jagdis and Sherry Black, who each took some of the first classes Eversfield ever taught in Victoria, during the mid-1950s, would remain close with their former teacher up until her death.
They met often for lunch, Hosie said, where Eversfield would leave her guests awed by the experience.
Eversfield left little to chance; she always knew exactly what she wanted, right up to the formalities of her celebration of life. When she knew the end was near, she communicated to her regular lunch guests how she wanted the service to proceed, from the flowers to the music. “She knew exactly how she wanted it to go,” Hosie said. “She had to be part of it.”
When she began teaching classes, in what was then Velda Willie’s studio, “she could still really dance,” Hosie said.
Eversfield eventually took the reins of the studio and in 1958 renamed it The Victoria School of Theatrical Arts. It was one of the many projects that bear her fingerprints today. “A lot of people become teachers who haven’t been on the road, haven’t been on tour, they just became teachers. But she walked the walk and talked the talk,” Hosie said.
At her 95th birthday party, Eversfield wore gold heels with a matching purple dress and coat. Classiness was her calling card, once and forever. “She looked like a million bucks — better than any of us,” Hosie said with a laugh.
Her rich legacy will live on through the Bebe de Roland Eversfield Ballet Scholarship, which is being distributed through the DanceWorks Scholarship Endowment Fund via the Victoria Foundation.
It will support a young hopeful making their way in the world of dance, which she would have appreciated, her son said.
“So many people I’ve spoken to said she would bring out their best,” Eversfield said. “She would see something in them that they didn’t see.”
• A public celebration of life for Bebe Eversfield is scheduled for Sunday at 2 p.m. at CFB Esquimalt, Chief and Petty Officer’s Mess, 1575 Lyall St.

It's been a year like no other, but is it Christmas as usual? In a busy period for many businesses, what trends characterize global trade this 2020 holiday season?
Christmas is usually a time where consumer spending increases as people buy gifts for their loved ones and celebrate with their friends and colleagues. This year, there have been some changes. Lower-income workers in the food, retail, and non-essential services industries were hit hardest by business closures. Middle-class and higher-earning individuals, on the other hand, have more disposable income this year, after being in lock-down.
One consequence of quarantines and social distancing has been the shift from brick-and-mortar stores to online shopping. A 25% to 35% predicted increase in e-commerce sales this year would substantially surpass last year's growth of 14%. In response, retailers are trying to adapt by introducing apps and virtual service options that keep them competitive. Businesses are also including additional gift wrapping, personalization, and bonuses to keep customers loyal.
This increased online shopping has had a knock on effect on the logistics industry, at both an international and local level. Unprecedented demand has been put on postal services to get the increase of goods delivered on time and there has even been a global shortage of available shipping containers. Despite economic setbacks, many consumers expect to spend the same or more on presents this holiday season. Moreover, many have got their shopping done earlier this year with supermarkets in the UK for example noting record sales of groceries in November.
New buying trends are setting the tone for 2020's end-of-year festivities, fueling import and export demand overseas.
For many people, 2020 has been a rollercoaster ride. Consequently, it doesn't come as a surprise that many people want to make the holidays extra special. This year, Christmas decoration sales are substantially higher in the UK than they have been for the past five years. Although holiday decorations are also in high demand in the US, the difference isn't as notable as in the UK.
This year, some of the most popular decorative items include gingerbread houses, cookie decorating kits, napkins, stationary, gift tags, labels, wrapping paper, serving platters, baking sets, gift bags, and greeting cards.
More personal, work, and fitness activities are being done at home, so more consumers are searching for products to enhance their homes. Electronics such as toasters, ovens, microwaves, and other home appliances are fuelling record exports in China.
Other increasingly popular home retail products include cooking appliances (rotisseries, roasting ovens, thermometers, blenders, mixers, bread makers) and bathroom products.
People still have a keen eye on celebration with alcoholic drinks featuring heavily in peoples stockings this year. Wine, liquor, champagne, and high-end spirits are on the table for 2020, in addition to home bar sets.
Cocktail shakers, mixology sets and customizable bar accessories are some of the most in-demand gifts this season. Mocktails and non-alcoholic beverage alternatives are also gaining momentum.
Staying healthy and fit became a higher priority for even more individuals this year as consumers strive to keep in shape from their living rooms. Other shoppers are preparing for their long-awaited ski and snowboard adventures this winter.
Some of the most searched for fitness products this holiday include punching bags, ice skates, sleds, snowboarding equipment, trampolines, fishing & hunting supplies, gym mats, inline skates, and foosball tables.
Fewer opportunities to participate in social gatherings or travel on vacation have contributed to a new wave of hobby enthusiasts.
Some of the hottest-selling past time gifts this holiday include video game consoles, nail art kits, astronomy items, karaoke systems, jigsaw puzzles, turntables, gardening supplies, painting sets, and cameras.
It's been a turbulent year for many, but judged by the above trends, consumers are still finding reason to celebrate. Everyone at MODIFI wishes you a merry Christmas, happy holidays and a wonderful new year!

"At this point, based on where we are today and what I've
gotten back from them now, that's the only direction I have to
go," general manager Ted Sundquist said Thursday.
The franchise tag would pay Wilson $5.8 million on a one-year
contract and would restrict his ability to change teams. The
league-mandated compensation is two No. 1 draft picks to sign
Sundquist said the team has "pretty much" reached the
financial ceiling on any offer to Wilson. No talks are scheduled.
"The last time I talked to them, basically I took it off the
table because that was our offer. That was it," he said Thursday.
A franchise tag triggers a two-week negotiating window in which
a long-term deal could be hammered out. Should that then fail, a
negotiating blackout essentially would follow until at least July
Sundquist said he has no complaints about the negotiations with
Wilson, a three-time Pro Bowler, and his agent.
Wilson earned $1.1. million last season in the final year of his
1999 rookie contract. A defensive captain, he led Denver in tackles
In all, the Broncos must cut about $4.2 million from their
salary-cap figure before the league's new fiscal year begins March
"We're going to have to make some moves," Sundquist said at
the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis. "Obviously, we'll have
to release some players. We'll have to do some restructuring."
Left tackle Ephraim Salaam will almost certainly have to
restructure his contract if he wants to remain with the Broncos.
New deals are expected for veteran receiver Ed McCaffrey, whose
base salary is scheduled to jump to $4.5 million, linebacker John Mobley
and lineman Matt Lepsis.
The Broncos also could look at defensive tackle Trevor Pryce,
scheduled to count $7.8 million against the cap this season.

Using Peatlands as Archives of Dust Deposition: A Preliminary Record from Southern Sweden
2010 (English)In: European Geosciences Union: General Assembly 2010, 2010, 2677- p.Conference paper (Refereed)
Our understanding of the complex role that mineral dust and its feedbacks play in the Earth's climate system is limited by its highly variable nature in space and time and a lack of data reflecting this variability. Paleorecords of dust provide a means by which we can examine the response of dust over time under very different climatic conditions. These records also supply the data (dust deposition rates, grain size, mineralogy and provenance) necessary to validate models of the dust cycle. Ombrotrophic peat is hydrologically isolated and therefore, like ice, records atmospheric deposition alone. Peatlands have a wide distribution globally, particularly in formerly glaciated regions, and are established environmental archives which provide continuous, high-resolution, datable records of atmospheric deposition and climate change. The use of peat for reconstructing dust deposition has been demonstrated, but as yet, not systematically examined. Their use as an archive of dust deposition must be further tested before they can be used to improve on the relatively poor spatial coverage of current terrestrial dust records (e.g., loess, lake sediments, dune building records). We present here a first focussed effort to reconstruct past changes in dust deposition through loss on ignition (LOI), bulk density, humification and inorganic geochemistry data using a peat sequence from Store Mosse in southern Sweden. This deposit has been studied previously and reveals a record that extends back some 5000 years. LOI data, in combination with elemental chemistry of the samples, aids in identifying those depths where the observed signal is atmospheric in source only. Humification analyses and bulk density are used as a proxy for surface wetness and allows for the linking of broader climatic changes (precipitation, evaporation, temperature) with fluctuations in dust deposition rates and changes in grain character (grain size, surface roughness). The inorganic geochemistry provides a means to quantify dust deposition as well as make a first attempt at source tracing of the deposited materials; this is important in terms of reconstructing changes in paleo wind regimes. Past variations in aeolian activity in Scandinavia are relatively unknown. Dune building records from Denmark and elsewhere around Europe show several periods of inland sand invasion and dune building during the Holocene. These are linked to cooler and stormier climates caused by shifts in the North Atlantic Oscillation and/or movement of the polar front. We compare the dust deposition record from Store Mosse with available dune building records and records of storminess from the region in order to make a preliminary assessment of the use of peatlands as paleo records of dust deposition.

I was a little tired of the usual cinnamon buns so I thought I would give something different a try.
I'm so glad I did. This is basically the exact same recipe as cinnamon buns BUT instead of slicing into rolls you cut it in half and twist it and roll it.
It looks so pretty.
Whoever says baking isn't an art form clearly hasn't seen how beautiful bread rolls can be.
Cinnamon Roll Up Bread
5 - 5 1/2 cups flour
3 Tbsp sugar
2 envelopes Rapid Rise Yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup water
1/3 cup butter, cut into pieces
one egg, beaten - for egg wash
1 cup butter, softened (divided into thirds)
1 cup brown sugar
2 - 3 tsp cinnamon
1 cup pecans, chopped
Line 3 - 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper. Spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine 3 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, salt and baking soda. Heat buttermilk, water and butter until very warm (120 - 130); butter does not need to melt completely. Mixture will appear curdled.
Stir into flour mixture. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic 2 - 5 mins). Cover and let rest on floured surface approx 15 mins.
Divide dough into 3 qual pieces. Cover 2 with a tea towel while you work with the third.
Roll out the piece of dough into a rectangle, approx 12 X 15.
Spread 1/3 of the butter evenly over dough. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the brown sugar and 1/3 of the cinnamon and 1/3 of the pecans.
Roll up jelly roll style.
Pinch dough together at seams.
Cut in half vertically.
Pinch together at one end and then twist together.
Roll into a circle.
Place into prepared pan. Now, repeat with remaining 2 balls of dough.
Cover with tea towel and place in warm place. Let rise for about 45 minutes, unil doubled. Preheat oven to 375.
Bake at 375 for approx 30 minutes. Tops should be nicely golden brown.
Let cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Invert on to wire rack, remove parchment paper, and flip back so top is facing up. Let cool on wire racks.
Serve warm or room temp.
Once again I am using my "go to" bread recipe. You could use your favorite cinnamon bun bread recipe if you prefer.
Tastes like cinnamon buns but looks all fancy schmancy.
It's win win!

During Piaget's sensorimotor stage (birth to age 2), infants and toddlers learn by doing: looking, hearing, touching, grasping, sucking. The process appears to begin with primitive “thinking” that involves coordinating movements of the body with incoming sensory data. As infants intentionally attempt to interact with the environment, they learn that certain actions lead to specific consequences. This is the beginning of the infants' understanding of cause‐and‐effect relationships.
Cognitive Development: Age 0–6
Piaget referred to the cognitive development occurring between ages 2 and 7 as the preoperational stage. In this stage, children increase their use of language and other symbols, imitation of adult behaviors, and play. Young children develop a fascination with words—both “good” and “bad.” They also play “pretend” games. Piaget also described this stage in terms of what children cannot do. He used the term operational to refer to reversible abilities that children had not yet developed. By reversible, Piaget meant actions that children perform in their mind, but that can occur in either direction. Adding (3 + 3 = 6) and subtracting (6 − 3 = 3) are examples of reversible actions.
Piaget believed that egocentrism—the inability to distinguish between one's own point of view and those of others—limits preschoolers' cognitive abilities. The capacity for egocentricity exists at all stages of cognitive development, but becomes particularly apparent during the preschool years. Young children eventually overcome this early form of egocentrism when they learn that others have different views, feelings, and desires. Then they can interpret other's motives, and use those interpretations to communicate mutually—and therefore more effectively—with others. Preschoolers eventually learn to adjust their vocal pitch, tone, and speed to match those of the listener. Because mutual communication requires effort and preschoolers are still egocentric, they may lapse into egocentric speech (non‐mutual) during times of frustration. That is, children may regress to earlier behavioral patterns when their cognitive resources become stressed and overwhelmed.
Piaget also believed that young children cannot grasp the concept of conservation, which is the concept that physical properties remain constant even as appearance and form changes. They have trouble understanding that the same amount of liquid poured into containers of different shapes remains the same. A preoperational child will tell you that a short, fat bottle does not contain the same amount of liquid as a tall skinny one. Similarly, a preoperational child will tell you that a handful of pennies is more money than a single five‐dollar bill. When children develop the cognitive capacity to conserve at around age 7, according to Piaget they move into the next stage of development, concrete operations.

A quilt is not just a cozy bed covering: it is also a piece of artwork. The artisans who create our quilts select top quality colorful fabrics and organize them in a captivating work of art. Pick from our selection of over 2 hundred Amish handmade quilts for a quilt that perfectly matches your taste.
Although the pieces of fabric are sewn together by machine to guarantee tighter sewing, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton materials compose the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched between those 2 layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting guaranties both heat as well as superb washing results.
Just about all of our quilts are large enough to relieve the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as mattress heights vary, each quilt's overall size can be different. You'll find we publish the quilt's measurements in conjunction with the determined drop for you to compare to the proportions you may need. Please do your homework before making a purchase!
Are our quilts washable?
Yes, our quilts are undoubtedly machine-washable! We recommend complying with these standards for the best care of your heirloom quilt:
- Machine wash with only cold water on delicate cycle.
- Use light laundry soap, such as liquid Cheer for colors (No bleach or bleach alternatives. No Woolite or fabric softener.) For the initial washing, include 1/2 cup vinegar and 2 tablespoons of salt in addition to the laundry detergent. This natural remedy protects against hemorrhage and also assists in protecting the colors in your quilt.
- Remove quilt as soon as the washer stops to decrease wrinkles and color-bleeding.
- Never ever put a quilt in the clothes dryer! Line dry on a windy day.
- Quilts can be dry-cleaned at your own risk, but we definitely suggest washing.

MIT’s Fleet Of Autonomous Boats Can Now Shapeshift
MIT’s fleet of robotic boats has been updated with new capabilities to “shapeshift,” by autonomously disconnecting and reassembling into a variety of configurations, to form floating structures in Amsterdam’s many canals.
The autonomous boats — rectangular hulls equipped with sensors, thrusters, microcontrollers, GPS modules, cameras, and other hardware — are being developed as part of the ongoing “Roboat” project between MIT and the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS Institute). The project is led by MIT professors Carlo Ratti, Daniela Rus, Dennis Frenchman, and Andrew Whittle. In the future, Amsterdam wants the roboats to cruise its 165 winding canals, transporting goods and people, collecting trash, or self-assembling into “pop-up” platforms — such as bridges and stages — to help relieve congestion on the city’s busy streets.
In 2016, MIT researchers tested a roboat prototype that could move forward, backward, and laterally along a preprogrammed path in the canals. Last year, researchers designed low-cost, 3-D-printed, one-quarter scale versions of the boats, which were more efficient and agile, and came equipped with advanced trajectory-tracking algorithms. In June, they created an autonomous latching mechanism that let the boats target and clasp onto each other, and keep trying if they fail.
In a new paper presented at the last week’s IEEE International Symposium on Multi-Robot and Multi-Agent Systems, the researchers describe an algorithm that enables the roboats to smoothly reshape themselves as efficiently as possible. The algorithm handles all the planning and tracking that enables groups of roboat units to unlatch from one another in one set configuration, travel a collision-free path, and reattach to their appropriate spot on the new set configuration.
In demonstrations in an MIT pool and in computer simulations, groups of linked roboat units rearranged themselves from straight lines or squares into other configurations, such as rectangles and “L” shapes. The experimental transformations only took a few minutes. More complex shapeshifts may take longer, depending on the number of moving units — which could be dozens — and differences between the two shapes.
“We’ve enabled the roboats to now make and break connections with other roboats, with hopes of moving activities on the streets of Amsterdam to the water,” says Rus, director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. “A set of boats can come together to form linear shapes as pop-up bridges, if we need to send materials or people from one side of a canal to the other. Or, we can create pop-up wider platforms for flower or food markets.”
Joining Rus on the paper are: Ratti, director of MIT’s Senseable City Lab, and, also from the lab, first author Banti Gheneti, Ryan Kelly, and Drew Meyers, all researchers; postdoc Shinkyu Park; and research fellow Pietro Leoni.
For their work, the researchers had to tackle challenges with autonomous planning, tracking, and connecting groups of roboat units. Giving each unit unique capabilities to, for instance, locate each other, agree on how to break apart and reform, and then move around freely, would require complex communication and control techniques that could make movement inefficient and slow.
To enable smoother operations, the researchers developed two types of units: coordinators and workers. One or more workers connect to one coordinator to form a single entity, called a “connected-vessel platform” (CVP). All coordinator and worker units have four propellers, a wireless-enabled microcontroller, and several automated latching mechanisms and sensing systems that enable them to link together.
Coordinators, however, also come equipped with GPS for navigation, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), which computes localization, pose, and velocity. Workers only have actuators that help the CVP steer along a path. Each coordinator is aware of and can wirelessly communicate with all connected workers. Structures comprise multiple CVPs, and individual CVPs can latch onto one another to form a larger entity.
During shapeshifting, all connected CVPs in a structure compare the geometric differences between its initial shape and new shape. Then, each CVP determines if it stays in the same spot and if it needs to move. Each moving CVP is then assigned a time to disassemble and a new position in the new shape.

text: "Perhaps a corpse would be re-animated..." Mary Shelley did not really know what to write after the famous agreement at Byron's villa. Each of the members of the company - Percy Bishy Shelley, Lord Byron, Mary herself, doctor Polidori, and Byron's young mistress - was to write a ghost story, but only two of them took care to fullfill the promise. Doctor Polidori inspired by the question of blood as an ultimate liquid created "The Vampire", while Mary Shelley, after fruitless musing, remember the issue of returning to life through galvanism. Her idea gave the world one of the most famous horror plots in the history of literature - a desparete science student creates an artificial man from the flesh of an executed criminal. The student, Frankenstein, is obsessed with the idea of eternal life - he can't bear the idea of losing his loved ones. However, despite his attempts to create a proper man, the creature turns out to be a monster. His unfulfilled hopes and anger become a threat to Frankenstein's life. Shelly's unusually horryfiing novel created a new movement in literature - sci-fi monster stories - and Frankenstein's creation became one of the most recognizable monsters in the world.

A Westfield man was arraigned Tuesday on a variety of charges after a father and son were shot during an apparent home invasion in Chicopee on Monday night.
William Wright's attorney waived his appearance in court. The 34-year-old is charged with multiple counts of assault to murder while armed with a firearm. The charges stem both from the alleged home invasion and the assault of an officer while trying to put him under arrest.
The incident happened at 103 Madison Street around 11:30 p.m. Monday.
"The father was accosted by the defendant at gunpoint," said Assistant District Attorney, Karen Szafranski. "He met him outside the house, brought him inside at gunpoint. He had a mask on that, according to the victims, looked like a Halloween mask."
Szafranski told the judge that Wright led the father back into the house, the son was woken up and Wright demanded money.
"The defendant, while masked, pointed a gun at the son, has him go into his room give him $700 or $800 in cash," said Szafranski.
After that, the prosecution says Wright tried to leave the house, but was cornered when he entered a screened in porch.
"The son and father took this opportunity to tackle the defendant and while they did that they were able to take off his mask and get a look at his face," said Szafranski . "While this was happening the defendant's gun went off several times. The son was shot in the buttocks. The father was shot in the chest."
Wright was found a short time later just down the road on Madison Street and when officers tried to arrest him there was a struggle.
"He grabbed ahold of one of the officers' guns while he was on the ground with him and other officers intervened and got into the fray," said Szafranski. "While they were on the ground, the defendant shot the gun - or the gun went off - and it went very close to one of the police officers' faces."
The officer suffered some hearing problems and was also bitten.
The father and son were taken to Baystate Medical Center, and were treated and released with non-life threatening injuries.
Wright has a lengthy criminal history, including a prior sentence on gun and drug charges and a prior conviction for armed robbery.
Wright is being held without the right to bail pending a dangerousness hearing next Tuesday.

Facebook might not be loved by everyone on the Internet, but one can’t really argue that it doesn’t have a successful business plan. The company has recently purchased Storylane.
The social networking site has become a juggernaut in its market because of the way it does business. The firm’s approach to its business has been so impressive at times that companies that have nothing to do with social media have taken it upon themselves to copy Facebook’s approach.
One of the ways the site has managed to stay so successful is in how it has managed to make companies that might have been even minor competitors go away. Facebook’s purchasing of Storylane is a testament to this.
Storylane was a relatively young social media site that allowed its users to connect to one another by posting stories it had written. While there isn’t a whole lot of detail surrounding the terms of this particular sale, Storylane CEO Jonathan Gheller announced that his site had been purchased on his company’s blog.
"After a lot of discussions with Facebook about how our teams might work together to have even greater impact,” Gheller wrote, “We are announcing today that the Storylane team will be joining Facebook."
Facebook confirmed that it had bought the site later and announced that the five-person staff of Storylane would be joining the social media giant’s Timeline team.
The Storylane site was quite young, having just launched in October. When it did launch, the stated goal was trying to build a “library of human experiences” by having people share stories from their lives. The Storylane team has said that they are working to put a tool together that will allow users who did in fact post stories of their lives to the site, to post those stories on other sites so they aren’t lost.
As part of the deal, said Gheller, Facebook will not get any of the data or operations on the site. That means that Storylane users won’t become Facebook members against their will.

On October 7, 2014, social media heavyweight Twitter filed a lawsuit against the federal government seeking the right to publicly disclose data related to secret government surveillance of its users. The company filed the complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, naming as defendants U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, the Department of Justice, the FBI, and FBI director James Comey. In the complaint, Twitter alleged that the government impermissibly infringes on Twitter’s First Amendment rights by prohibiting Twitter from disclosing information about the number and type of surveillance requests and orders received, even if that number is zero.
Section 2709 of the Stored Communications Act (SCA) permits the FBI to issue national security letters (NSLs) that require a wire or electronic communication service provider to supply the government with subscriber information, toll billing records information, or electronic communication transactional records. The SCA prohibits NSL recipients from disclosing that the FBI either sought or obtained the requested information or records. Similarly, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) permits the government to obtain a court order authorizing real-time surveillance or disclosure of stored records from an electronic communication service provider. Numerous authorities prohibit a FISA order recipient from disclosing information about that order, including 50 U.S.C. § 1805 of FISA as well as court-imposed nondisclosure requirements in the FISA orders themselves.

Leaked Empire Magazine preview confirms Jon Snow’s Targaryen birth name
A Reddit post by user TheRealVanDamme has seemingly revealed the true Targaryen name of fan favourite character Jon Snow.Updated: Jun 17, 2017 17:20 IST
If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, the wait for the seventh season of the hit American fantasy drama television series must be killing you(much like every other fan around the world). While we really can’t get our hands on the dope about the fate of the seven kingdoms for some time, a recent reveal about fan favourite, Jon Snow(played by Kit Harington), may make the wait worth all the pain.
Back in season six, we learned about Jon Snow’s true lineage. But, the sound track made sure we didn’t get to know his Targaryen birth name — Yes! the one Lynna whispered to young Ned Stark before he took him in as his own son, and named him Jon Snow.
Watch the scene below:
Well, you won’t need to wait for the coming season of the series to really find out what the name was. Thanks to eagle-eyed Reddit user, TheRealVanDamme, we might have finally learned the truth much in advance. TheRealVanDamme shared a photo of (what is reportedly is) a leaked page from an upcoming issue of the Empire Magazine where Jon Snow’s true name is revealed along with Isaac Hempstead Wright ‘s (Bran from the series) interview. While TheRealVanDamme’s original post was deleted, a twitter user soon uploaded the same picture.
See it below:
As we saw in the last episode of Season 6, Bran’s (Isaac Hempstead Wright) psychic time-traveling ‘greensight’ revealed the true nature of Jon’s birth heritage and his real name: Jaehaerys Targaryen.
The excerpt reads, “As we saw in the last episode of Season 6, Bran’s (Isaac Hempstead Wright) psychic time-travelling ‘greensight’ revealed the true nature of Jon’s birth heritage and his real name: Jaehaerys Targaryen,” a portion below the photo of Bran and Meera reads. “’Bran’s now in this precarious situation in which it’s just him and Meera (Ellie Kendrick), and he has all of this information that could change the entire story,’ says Hempstead Wright. And it’s not just about Jon. ‘He knows about the origin of the White Walkers, too.’”
If this is indeed true, the excerpt confirms Redditor sparkledavisjr’s theory, something that came up about 11 months ago. Here is the link to the theory. The name Jaehaerys also makes sense, since both Jaehaerys I and Jaehaerys II were wise Targaryen kings who once upon a time sat on the Iron Throne.

I love when the first leaves pop, hot green and feather-tipped. Our North Philly neighborhood awakens. Cats appear. Then teenagers -- warming the walks as they hover in clusters. Soon my neighbors take to their stoops to read the paper and sip coffee or beer.
That’s when I want Ascutney Mountain, a cheese that somehow tastes like spring. Like peas in their pods.
That’s what Zeke told me he tasted when he handed me a sample of Ascutney Mountain several weeks ago at the cheese counter. Zeke has a palate of gold. I go to him as one would go to a guru, not for a mantra but for a tasting lesson. When my palate goes off-key, Zeke helps me find the note.
“Fresh peas, can you taste it?” he asked.
I couldn’t taste peas at first. But I did detect an Alpiney edge, that bell-clear herbiness I now recognize in mountain cheeses. Think of Appenzeller, Gruyere, Emmentaler. They all contain an herbal quality – not as in dill or parsley – but as in herbed spirits (think of Jagermeister or Chartreuse).
Ascutney Mountain, which is made in Vermont, has an Alpine herbiness, but it’s more vegetal in nature, and less bitter and boozey, if that makes sense.
It tastes fresh, I kid you not. Like greens. Like spring seedlings.
I have eaten two wedges of it now, nibbling away through the gray days that haunted April. And now I taste pea pods. I do. Once I could identify it, I tasted it in every bite. Magical, how even taste grows. All it takes is nurturing.
Gail Holmes at Cobb Hill Cheese in Hartland, VT makes Ascutney Mountain. She uses raw milk from Jersey cows, a breed known for its supremely creamy milk. That makes Ascutney Mountain gloriously creamy once it melts on your tongue.
The texture calls to mind a young Gouda, with crispy crystals that pop on the togue – the mark of an aged cheese.
If you like Comte, you will want to seek this out, though it’s rare. Only 45 wheels are made each week – fewer in winter, one assumes. Serve it with spring vegetables (ramps, morels, peas, fiddleheads) and a lush white or a light- to medium-bodied red. Prepare to shiver.
Other notes to look for: fuitiness, nuttiness, a whiff of pineapple.

The 23-year-old victim of the recent gang rape died at the hospital at 4:45 a.m. on Saturday after suffering from severe organ failure. (Xinhua/Then Chih Wey)
NEW DELHI, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- India woke up united in grief to the news of the death of the 23-year-old Delhi gang-rape victim at a hospital in Singapore in the wee hours of Saturday.
According to doctors treating her, the victim succumbed to her injuries at 2.15 a.m. (Indian time) at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore, nearly two weeks after the horrific gangrape on a moving bus by six men shocked India and triggered violent public protests in the national capital, leaving one cop dead.
The Delhi University medical student was shifted to the Singapore hospital by a special air ambulance Thursday after undergoing at least three operations at a government hospital in the Indian capital.
"She had suffered from severe organ failure following serious injuries to her body and brain. She was courageous in fighting for her life for so long against the odds but the trauma to her body was too severe for her to overcome," Kelvin Loh, the chief executive of Mount Elizabeth Hospital, said in a statement.
He added, "We are humbled by the privilege of being tasked to care for her in her final struggle."
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh led the tributes to the victim by condoling her death and assuring measures to ensure safety of women, at the same time, urging protesters to maintain calm and channelize their emotions and energies constructively.
"It would be a true homage to her memory if we are able to channelize these emotions and energies into a constructive course of action. The need of the hour is a dispassionate debate and inquiry into the critical changes that are required in societal attitudes," the Prime Minister said in the national capital.
"The government is examining the penal provisions that exist for such crimes and measures to enhance the safety and security of women. I hope that the entire political class and civil society will set aside narrow sectional interests to help us all reach the end that we all desire -- making India a demonstrably better and safer place for women to live in," Singh added.
Indian High Commission to Singapore has said that arrangements are being made to send the victim's body to India later in the day. "The deceased and family members will be flown out in a chartered aircraft later in the day," TCA Raghavan, Indian envoy to Singapore, told media.
In fact, the decision to shift the victim to the Singapore hospital was taken by the government on recommendation of the doctors treating her, according to Indian Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde.
The victim was gang-raped on Dec. 16 on a moving bus by six men who also beat her up mercilessly, along with her boyfriend, before throwing off the duo in the south of the Indian capital. The duo boarded the private bus after watching a movie at a multiplex around 9.30 p.m. on that day.
All the six accused have been arrested and are currently in judicial custody awaiting trial due to start next week. Two senior police officials were also suspended for failing to prevent the incident.
The Indian government has announced a slew of measures to ensure safety of women in the wake of violent clashes in the national capital over the gang-rape and even set up a judicial inquiry commission to probe into the incident and find out lapses, if any, on the part of authorities and "fix responsibility".
BEIJING, Dec. 27 (Xinhuanet) -- The Indian government is to open a commission of inquiry into the brutal gang rape of a girl in New Delhi, that’s prompted a wave of protests nationwide. The attack, which happened on a moving bus, has sparked a national debate over the rights of women in India.
Chidambaram Palaniappan, Indian Finance Minister, said,"Cabinet also approved a proposal to set up a commission of inquiry to look into the incident of rape and assault on a young woman on the 16th of December, 2012 in Delhi and to suggest measures to improve the safety and security of women. We are all deeply anguished at what happened on the 16th of December 2012. I join all others in praying for her recovery." Full story

On-U – Sucath David
Buenos Aires, Argentina
On-U is a program aimed at giving inspired individuals the tools they need in order to develop into Jewish leaders by way of serving as delegates of Judaism to towns surrounding Buenos Aires. These neighboring towns, usually lack the organization and necessary structure in order to upkeep the local Jewish life. After an initial training, the “delegates” assume responsibility for visiting these communities with the goal of helping local Jewish students (and their families) connect with their roots via exciting programming that includes: classes and workshops, Shabbatons, educational trips, seminars and social events. All programming is accompanied and coached by spiritual leaders for proper guidance.


While many Troy students pursue extracurricular activities and part-time jobs, Jeffrey Shields, a freshman social work major from Piedmont, found a hobby that pays: drag.
Oxford English Dictionary defines a drag queen as “a man who dresses up in women’s clothes, typically for the purposes of entertainment.”
To Shields, aka Kandi Kane, it’s more than that.
“In the drag world, there’re so many cultures and ways of doing things,” Shields said. “It’s always changing and growing. Drag is not defined as one thing because it’s a literal living and growing art.”
Shields said he enjoyed the effect of going from being one person to a completely different one.
“My personality here when I am a boy is very blunt, very brash, and very to the point, but when I am Kandi, I’m a bitch.”
“He has his mood swings,”
said his co-worker Lasata Shrestha, a freshman biomedical sciences major from Kathmandu, Nepal. “He’s usually very happy and sarcastic and funny — kind of a person whom you either hate or you love.”
The upfront character helped Shields to take the spot of an insult pageant queen, which, according to Shields, is the drag queen who “gets paid to make fun of people.”
Originally, Shields was against the idea of drag.
“I was like, ‘I would never be one of the gays who do drag,’ and then someone offered me money, and money won,” Shields said. He added that he now gets paid anywhere from $50 to $300 a show depending on the venue.
He said he makes more money doing drag than at his daytime job of a supervisor at Moe’s.
“He’s really friendly with his employees,” said Amiya Biswas, a junior computer science major from Dhaka. According to Shrestha, Shields cheers up his employees when they are down and pushes them to work. Biswas also said she worked with Shields at Moe’s and knew he was a drag queen by the end of the first week.
It all started, according to Shields, when he was 18 in a Birmingham club called The Quest under a name created by his school friends — Kandi Kane. Shields describes his first show as a “horrible” experience.
“I looked so torn up,” he said. “I looked like a crack head they dragged off the streets and just bought some makeup somewhere; it looked like I went to Dollar General and threw it (the makeup) on my face.”
Before his first show, Shields also had his first experience with tucking through a lesson from his drag mother.
“And she’s said, ‘Calm down sweetheart, calm down,’ — she’s just old as dirt, she’s just under 300 years old in drag terms — ‘You just stuff it and tuck it, and you go.’ It was very awkward and very intense.”
Despite the awkwardness, Shields said he liked his first show because it was different from his everyday life.
“I’m from a very Christian background, so me being gay was already taboo, but when you throw in drag in the mix, it’s like no-no-no, not today, Satan,” he said.
Shields’ parents passed away in his teen years, but his aunt was supportive of his passion for drag.
“She goes wig shopping, makeup shopping, dress shopping with me,” he said. “She’s awesome.”
According to Shields, people’s reactions to his job range from a shocked “Oh my gosh, you do that?” to an enthusiastic “Oh, my gosh, you do that? I wanna come see you.”
Summer Davis, a graduate student in accounting from Troy, said she went to a drag show in Savannah, Georgia, with some friends and enjoyed the experience.
“It was pretty cool,” Davis said. “They swapped outfits a few times and walked the runway. I think it was a good time. We had fun.” Davis also said that the unique experience was the major appeal of the show. “Around here there’s not anything like that that I know of.”
All interested can visit the official Kandi Kane Facebook page to find the venues of future performances and follow Kandi Kane’s progress.
At the end of the interview, Shields said he didn’t feel the need to hide his occupation.
“It’s not something I keep secret,” he said. “I am proud of what I do, I make money doing what I do.” He also said he will carry on doing drag because the advantages outweigh the pain.
“Underneath it all, I am a 23-year-old man in a dress and makeup. I get paid to put on heels that hurt, I have to put things in places they shouldn’t go, and it’s just horrible at times, but the money and the fun, and the laughter, is what makes it worth it.”
