The new 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera is quicker, more powerful and more advanced than in the seven generations that preceded the iconic sports coupe.
Stuttgart-based Porsche, part of Volkswagen, says its future is in electric cars but for now will show off its brand-defining model with the flat six-cyinder engine at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The new 911 doesn't look much different than earlier editions of the car. The new one has bigger wheel housings and a slightly wider body but the same long hood, sloping roof and prominent headlights that have marked successive versions since 1963.
The company said in a news release Wednesday that the new 911 Carrera S and 4S have flat six-cylinder turbocharged engines putting out 443 horsepower, 23 horsepower more than the predecessor. The Carrera S has a top speed of 191 mph and accelerates from zero to 60 mph (96.5 kph) in 3.5 seconds. The new model, known internally and by Porschefiles as type 992, is .4 seconds quicker to 60 mph than the outgoing model. The Sport Chrono package cuts another .2 seconds to 60 mph off the old model.
The rear-drive 2020 Carrera S has a base price of $113,200 and the 4S all-wheel drive version starts at $120,600, not including a $1,050 delivery fee. That's about $5,000 more than the current Carrera S equipped with an 8-speed PDK dual clutch automatic transmission. It is reported by Road & Track and other outlets that a manual transmission will still be offered. They can be ordered now and will reach dealers in summer 2019.
Porsche boss Oliver Blume says that the 911 remains "the core of our brand, we are making it even more emotional."
Blume says nonetheless by 2025 about half of all new Porsche cars and SUVs will have electric motors, whether they are all-electric or hybrids combining batteries with internal combustion engines.
He was quoted by the Welt am Sonntag newspaper as saying that the company would be ready for a world in which some cities and countries are talking about banning internal combustion cars in coming decades. "It's clear, the future belongs to electric mobility," he said.
The company is developing an all-electric sports car, the Taycan, that would compete with sports car offerings by Tesla, BMW and others.

Got A Dream In Your Heart?
We hope you're staying warm out there. It's been a crazy week for weather and we're looking forward to a little bit warmer February!
One thing that the January weather has done is allowed us to spend a little time getting ready for some of our artist driven upcoming events. We're excited that as a part of our mission here at the Arts Collective we've been gathering projects that are near and dear to the artists who have been collaborating with us this past year.
In February alone we have two interesting events. On February 16 we'll be doing a staged reading of the Eugene Ionesco play, The Bald Soprano. This project comes courtesy of Phillip Jindra and Tessa Komorowski and features a number of our regular performers. Its a free event and after we finish the reading we'll discuss the play.
On February 17 we're presenting Haley Ebinal's production titled Riot Act: A Feminist Manifesto. First produced at the UWGB, this show is a performance art piece featuring 4 monologues by Franca Rame and a devised play. Riot Act shines a mirror on society's epidemic objectification of women, exploring why and how we've let it happen. Haley performed in our production of The 39 Steps and we're excited to have her show on our calendar.
Other artist driven projects this year include Hello Again, Becky's New Car, Always Patsy Cline and a series of musical evenings being organized by Kevin James Sievert under the title "The Forst Inn Sings...". A lot of our music events happen because musicians contact us looking for a place to do their art as well, and Catherine is busy collaborating with those folks and making sure the pub and the stage are hopping with great musicians.
Do you have a dream project that you've always wanted to make happen? Contact us and start the process. Who knows? Stay warm!!
Meet The Cast of NOVEMBER
Our upcoming production of November opens on February 22. We've assembled a great cast for this show with a mix of Forst Inn favorites and new faces.
Leading off the cast as the embattled Commander In Chief, Charles Smith, is Jeremy Pelegrin. Jeremy has a challenging task ahead of him filling the shoes of Nathan Lane, who originated the role on Broadway back in 2008. Jeremy returns to the Forst Inn after appearing in 2018’s Hello Again and Putnam County Spelling Bee. In the Green Bay area, Jeremy has enjoyed performing with Daddy D Productions, Birder Players, St. Norbert Music Theatre, Theatre Z, and Evergreen Productions, where he was last seen in the title role of Lombardi. Jeremy earned his Theatre Arts degree from UW Stevens Point and went on to perform at dinner theaters and theme parks around the country. His Florida credits include Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Mark II Dinner Theatre and The Golden Apple. Some of Jeremy’s favorite roles have been in They’re Playing Our Song (Vernon), Into the Woods (Jack), You’re a Good Man...(Charlie Brown), The Baltimore Waltz (Carl), Annie (Rooster), and Monty Python’s Spamalot (Sir Galahad).
Filling the role of Charles' intrepid sidekick, Archer, is Forst Inn favorite Sean Stalvey. Sean was in our first production, “The Glass Menagerie”, and played the lead in “The 39 Steps”. Sean began his interest in theatre in high school and with the Peter Quince Performing Company, playing Flute and Piccolo in the pit orchestras. He started to pursue theatre on-stage at UW-Manitowoc, where he earned the 2018 UW-Manitowoc Fine Arts in Theatre Award. Having graduated with an Associate of Arts and Science Degree at UW-Manitowoc, Sean is currently a student at UW-Green Bay pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Theatre. In his free time, Sean enjoys astronomy and watching movies.
Laurie Conrad is a new face at The Forst and is playing the determined speech writer, Bernstein. Laurie is a recent transplant from Madison, Wisconsin and now resides on the shores of Lake Michigan. She is elated to be with The Forst Inn. Laurie is affiliated with The Collective Writers Group and The Wisconsin Screenwriters Forum. Laurie is an avid writer, and heads the Cool City Writers Group at the Lester Public Library in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Laurie has performed with the Isadoora Theatre Company and Third Avenue Playhouse.
Margi Diny plays "The Turkey Gal"...we'll let you imagine what that means. Margi is well-known to audiences in the Green Bay Area and beyond, having performed onstage for several years. She particularly enjoys acting and volunteering at the Forst, where she played Agnes in “I do, I do!”, Mickey in The Odd Couple female version, and other roles. You may have even seen her bussing tables or seating patrons. When not helping at the Forst, Margi is a commercial actor, appearing on billboards, print ads, and film. She also keeps busy playing the violin with the Civic Symphony of Green Bay and for weddings and other events.
Rounding out the cast in the peculiar but exciting role of Dwight Grackle is Kana Coonce. Kana was recently seen on the Forst Inn Stage in a number of productions including Mistletoe Musings, Black Patent Leather Shoes and The 39 Steps. When it comes to biographical details, Kana leans toward whimsy and tends to leave all summary to outside and mystical forces. For this particular show and character, that would probably mean that you'll need to look to the Native American spirit world to learn anything useful about Kana's experiences or plans.
The show itself was written by David Mamet in 2008 and was well received by the reviewers in New York. It depicts one day in the life of a beleaguered American commander-in-chief. It's November in a Presidential election year, and incumbent Charles Smith's chances for reelection are looking grim. Approval ratings are down, his money's running out, and nuclear war might be imminent. Though his staff has thrown in the towel and his wife has begun to prepare for her post-White House life, Chuck isn't ready to give up just yet. Amidst the biggest fight of his political career, the President has to find time to pardon a couple of turkeys — saving them from the slaughter before Thanksgiving — and this simple PR event inspires Smith to risk it all in an attempt to win back public support. With Mamet's characteristic no-holds-barred style, November is a scathingly hilarious take on the state of American politics (today, yesterday, forever) and the lengths to which people will go to win.
We have kept the time frame the same rather than attempting to update it. The setting is the final days of a fictional presidential candidate and this lovable commander in chief bears no resemblance to any of our recent occupants of the office. Rather, Charles Smith is created as a broad representative of politicians writ large...with an extreme nod to the way that the exigencies of politics can cause them all to lose sight of their more serious and idealistic values. Mamet takes a shot at just about everyone on both sides of the aisle and manages to offend just about everyone along the way. You should be able to see all your least favorite politicians in his desperate antics, but also some of the lovable traits of your favorite politicians as well.
The show is definitely rated R, with Mamet's usual employment of adult jokes and liberal use of words that start with "f".
"This is satire with a scorpion's sting" - Variety
"A professional skeptic and an inspired word jockey, David Mamet can lay claim to the same connoisseurship of human folly as H. L. Mencken, who once observed that, in America, 'only the man who was born with a petrified diaphragm can fail to laugh himself to sleep every night.' Mamet's new Oval Office satire, November... is a hilarious demonstration of the fact that we live in an age of equality: all classes are criminal... Broadway comedy is generally a testament to Twain's maxim that honesty is 'the best of all the lost arts.' On the boulevard, laughter is meant to distract, not galvanize, to enchant, not disenchant. Into this weak hand, David Mamet has dealt an ace." - John Lahr, The New Yorker
"Ferociously original... and crisply performed, [November] rollicks from one politically incorrect punch line to the next." – San Francisco Chronicle
"Vaudeville meets current events... David Mamet just couldn't resist the bully pulpit of satire." – San Jose Mercury News
"Remarkable... one of the most profoundly laugh-out-loud plays that I have seen in many years." – BeyondChron.org
"The big, explosive laughter that starts early in David Mamet's November is of a kind I haven't heard in decades." – The Village Voice
"November gets my vote! Like an expert marksman in a shooting gallery, the playwright takes aim at just about every hot-button issue of the day, scoring a bull's eye every time." –Backstage East
"Sublime! One of the first breezy and intelligent comedies of substance we've seen in a long time" – The Villager
"Extremely funny" – The New York Times
In The Quiet Dark of Winter
It’s snowing today. Light fluffy stuff that’s easy to move around and looks pretty on the trees. Although I like having distinct seasons, I find that every year gives the arrival of spring more weight and relief. The lifting of the dark of winter is a palpable physical and emotional moment that I anticipate with growing passion each year. Meanwhile, I find that I am more interested in hibernating each year as well. No doubt this is a widely shared outlook.
With that in mind, we elected to close down The Forst for the month of January. This has the benefit of giving Catherine and I some needed time to recharge, plan and renew. As a part of that planning process, we are looking forward to our first board meeting of the year and the introduction of some new board members. We are also enjoying the involvement of new voices in creating plans for many aspects of what we do. This is all much needed and good. Still, it is strange to sit in the pub looking out at the winter in a building that is largely cold and still. Over the past year and a half it has been such a vibrant hub of activity and energy.
The quiet does provide some time for reflection. We have gone a long while without posting new musings…it’s hard to muse when you are neck deep in the intensity of the doing. So, while the cold and dark might inspire melancholy at times, it is also a fertile space to ponder and reflect and, voila, a musing emerges.
There is much I could muse upon; the challenge of doing so much with limited resources; the joy of seeing audiences enthused and inspired; the satisfaction of the slow and steady growth in attendance; the relief of receiving important patron support at year’s end; the growing community of artists and volunteers…it’s all worthy of consideration.
Gratitude and hope come to mind as obvious things to reflect upon. A little cliched perhaps, but still these are the two strongest threads in this morning’s thinking. The scope and nature of gratitude is pretty obvious here. I am grateful for the good fortune that has led to this moment, to the hard work of those around me, to the dedication of Catherine Egger in joining in this crazy adventure, to the support of the community, to the positive events that have allowed us to manage to pay the bills as we go…all of these things have allowed me to immerse myself in an adventure that I can be nothing but thankful for having. I am thankful.
Hope is more complex. While the first phase of the project has gone well, there is much to do in order to ensure the continued survival of this newest incarnation of The Forst Inn. Attendance needs to keep edging higher, more and more people need to be plugged in to more and more tasks to ensure that the place runs smoothly and that our audiences have amazing experiences, new patrons and sponsors are needed to help pay our artists and make much needed improvements in the facility…it’s a long list and fear rather than hope stands out as a rather substantive emotion. Which is where the gratitude comes in.
Because it is all of the things that I am grateful for which give me hope for this next year. Success for The Forst Inn Arts Collective will come not because of what I do, but because of what you do. It will be the moments when volunteers, artists, sponsors and patrons own the success of this magical place that will create hope and, ultimately, ensure its sustenance. That’s a pretty cool thing to get to be part of.
When I taught in the public schools a colleague and I shared a phrase that we would toss to each other in challenging moments. We would simply say, “twig in a stream”; invoking the Buddhist notion of acceptance and release of control. Some things are bigger than you are, and one must accept and trust. There is a path to success and it is a stream that cannot be easily directed. In the quiet dark of winter it is good to embrace that stream, float to the surface, and savor being carried along in its power.
Of course, the stream has to thaw first! :-) Happy Winter!
Michael shares his favorite thoughts and news about the Inn and the area.

Wood flooring is the direction my passion takes me, i find it the most versatile of all the flooring types. Laminate, engineered, solid and reclaimed wood floors are where i find my most creative designs coming from. Simply put i enjoy working with wood.
Carpet and textiles
Carpets are another speciality of mine, being an accredited former NICF master installer was one of my proudest moments as a floor layer, anyone who knows will agree its not an easy path to take but if you persevere its well worth the accreditation.
Luxury Vinyl Tiles
LVT or as most people will know it by brands such as Karndean and Amtico is another flooring type that has nearly endless design capabilities, life long guarantees and user friendly maintenance its a very popular flooring type.
Sisal and Seagrass
Tiles and Tiling
Ceramic, porcelain, natural stone and slate, we cover it all, walls and floors. A perfectly tiles room makes all the difference to a bathroom or kitchen.

Well, well, well. Another day, another government-funded sh!tshow.
A study published in the Veterinary Pathology journal has been retracted, after the authors “chose to retract it” because new information suggests that the monkeys in the study died from dehydration at the Harvard Medical School facility. The animals did not have water.
The retraction follows comments by the journal’s publishers in April saying they were scrutinizing the paper after the Globe raised questions about its findings and the center’s former director questioned the article’s integrity, saying he believes that many of the monkeys included in the research had been treated in an inhumane way.
The research center closed in May, following a “litany” of problems.
Department of Agriculture inspectors found numerous violations of animal welfare rules after the deaths, an embarrassment that caused consternation across the university. It paid a $24,000 fine to the Department of Agriculture for violations of the Animal Welfare Act.
The university denied there were any “animal-care problems” at the facility and said it was a financial issue. Speaking of financial issues, this animal murder mill got some $25 million in government (that would be you) funding.
Miller said in an e-mail that his team chose to retract the paper because they learned that four of the 13 monkeys they studied lacked water for an unknown period of time. They therefore could no longer attribute the monkeys’ condition to illness, he added.
Miller also said “every staff member, regardless of their role, worked tirelessly to ensure the health and safety of the animals housed at that facility.”
Wang, who ran the center from September 2011 to February 2012, furnished a spreadsheet that showed a dozen squirrel monkeys were found dehydrated and dead in their cages or euthanized between 1999 and 2011, suggesting there were far more suspicious deaths at the center than originally believed.
The dead monkeys included a 10-year-old female whose water line was malfunctioning, a 4-year-old female that had no water spout in her cage, and a 3-year-old female unable to drink because her tooth was caught in a jacket.
This is just one of many taxpayer-funded rackets involving inhumane treatment of animals. It’s time to cut off the government funds for this stuff and let the private sector pick up the tab if it’s so lucrative. Newt Gingrich is a big proponent of growing the NIH budget for animal testing. As I wrote back in April:
The example Gingrich gives is AIDS research. “The N.I.H. recently discovered a vaccine that appears to cure an AIDS-like virus in monkeys,” he writes.
Here’s how many times the NIH has said it is approaching some kind of breakthrough on AIDS (2013, 2000, 1999, 1994) — and that’s just a cursory search. We’ve been experimenting on animals while doing AIDS research since the ‘80s. Where is our AIDS vaccine? All we have is a lot of dead monkeys.
AIDS research like the “research” that was done at this now shuttered lab.
This story at Harvard is just ONE that we know about. These labs have no external oversight at all — oversight to protect the animals and the taxpayers. The opposition will say that they have the “Animal Welfare Act” — but as you can see, the “Animal Welfare Act” isn’t working.

Foods that many may consider indulgences have been linked to an increased breast cancer risk.
Eat This, Not That reported on a study presented at the Nutrition 2021 Live online conference. It showed that foods that increase bodily inflammation lead to a 12% increase in breast cancer risk.
Researchers analyzed 318,686 women from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition for the study. They were chronicled for 14 years. In that time, 13,246 cases of breast cancer occurred. Scientists used an inflammatory score of the diet, or ISD, to assess the diet’s inflammatory potential. They also assessed how ISD may affect the general breast cancer risk.
They found ISD had a positive link to breast cancer. This was the case regardless of risk factors such as body mass index, physical activity or alcohol consumption.
Foods that have this inflammatory potential include processed meats such as sausage and hot dogs, fried foods, saturated fats, refined carbs and sugars, including high fructose corn syrup.
Over time, chronic inflammation can generate DNA damage and cause cancer, the National Cancer Institute reported.
To avoid this from inflammatory foods, you should exercise and have a healthy diet, including whole grains, vegetables, beans and fruits, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research. You should also limit fast food, processed foods, red meat and sugar-sweetened drinks.
“Choosing whole, fresh foods and doing your own prep maximizes nutrients and phytonutrients,” senior clinical dietitian Karla Crawford at MD Anderson Cancer Center told the institute’s website. “These nutrients keep us healthy in many ways, while reducing inflammation.”
Fermented foods, meanwhile can be added to the diet.
“Foods that help reduce your cancer risk also help reduce chronic inflammation, and vice-versa,” Crawford said. “So, following these guidelines will ultimately reduce your risk of a variety of chronic diseases, and improve your quality of life.”

The four laws, which include childbirth restrictions, breach the convention against women discrimination, which Myanmar joined in 1997
Myanmar delegates will face some tough questions tomorrow at a key UN convention in Geneva regarding a controversial legislation which has attracted international criticism for discriminating on the basis of gender and religion.
The four laws, which includes giving authorities the right to restrict the number of childbirths a women can have, may stand in violation of the convention on eradicating discrimination against women (CEDAW) which Myanmar joined in 1997, as well as for being anti-Islam.
Introduced last year, this law was backed by nationalist monks and passed by the military-backed government of then-President U Thein Sein.
However, the current government may not redress the matter. Although Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s NLD government has submitted a written clarification that the laws do not go breach UN’s CEDAW policies, local newspaper The Myanmar Times quoted U Soe Kyi, the director general of the department of social welfare that the government had “no plan” to repeal the laws.
Women's rights groups have been protesting against this law, but have found it difficult to influence the government to change it.
International rights groups, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, has raised an alarm about the legislation curtailing religious and gender freedom, specially the birth control policy which is seen as a direct action against the displaced Muslim population in Rakhine State, known as Rohingya.
In the past two weeks, there has been a spike in violence against Muslims in Myanmar including incidents of Buddhist mobs ransacking two mosques in separate towns. Buddhist dominated security force has been criticised for not actively pursuing the matter.

Members of the Fire Brigades Union on the Isle of Wight will join their national colleagues in strike action on Wednesday.
The industrial action, being held between 12pm and 4pm, is in a dispute over pension reforms.
Steve Allen, Chair of the FBU Southern Region, which covers the Isle of Wight, told IW Radio:
The Fire Brigades Union on the Isle of Wight and all over the country will be taking strike action in support of the fight for a fair, sustainable and achievable pension. The current proposals that the government have put in front of us fall short of supplying an occupational pension scheme. An occupational pension scheme means that when you come to the end of your working life, you can access a pension and it meets the needs and the risks involved with your occupation. At the moment, the government’s offer threatens to leave thousands of firefighters thrown out of a job later on in their career because they can’t meet a fitness standard. The reason for this is because they have extended our working life by five years from 55 to 60. They’ve failed to actually deal with the fact that people’s fitness levels start to drastically reduce around the age of 55. This has been an historical retirement figure for people in the fire service because it’s been shown to be that people’s fitness levels fall away quite rapidly in their mid-50s.
But Steve said that members have no other option but to take strike action:
Firefighters on the Island did not want to go out on strike, the Fire Brigades Union nationally does not want to go on strike. The government are the ones who have walked away from this negotiating table. It’s the government who have put an offer on the table which is wholly inadequate and they have painted us into a corner where we have got no other option. They say they are not going to listen to us anymore, and this is our only recourse of action and it is totally regrettable.
The Isle of Wight Council said it had contingency plans in place to deal with the strike, and is reassuring Islanders that crews will still respond to life-critical incidents.
In a statement, it said:
Fire cover will be maintained on the Island by non-FBU members who will attend life-critical incidents such as house fires or road traffic incidents. Fire control will not be affected by the strike and will be operating as normal – people should continue to dial 999 in an emergency.
The fire and rescue service will work in partnership with the other emergency services and partner agencies to respond to incidents. Each call will be assessed by the fire and rescue service and resources will be deployed as appropriate. Priority will be given to calls where lives are at risk, so in some cases, such as animal rescues or people trapped in lifts, resources may not be available to be deployed.

The chills are out there. It’s fall, the best season out of the four. For me, fall is the standout of all the seasons, the scene-stealer of weather. The perfect combination of sun and cold weather, it’s enough to make me ecstatic. What’s more, the fall creeping in reminds me that Halloween is practically upon us, and it’s time to get scary.
Everyone has holiday tradition, and Halloween is no exception (and if it is an exception, shame on you). I try and watch my favorite horror movies every year; it’s nostalgia at its best for me. I love reminiscing to when I was younger and rushing home to watch these kinds of movies, back when channels like AMC and Sci-Fi showed the classic films (Does anyone remember Monster Vision on TNT?! ) Nowadays, everything sucks, and tradition is threatened by normalcy. No one apparently wants to see science fiction marathons or horror marathons anymore, so I have to assemble my own collection to bring back the past and bring some sanity back. So, to celebrate and honor All Hallows Eve, I am throwing down some of my personal cinematic recommendations for Halloween.
The Thing (1982)-Hands down, my favorite science fiction film, The Thing is also the scariest film I’ve ever seen. John Carpenter’s classic involves a group of Antarctic researchers/explorers/Kurt Russell encountering a fierce alien organism that imitates life forms perfectly, at the cost of said life form’s life. With John Carpenter’s genre expertise, Ennio Morricone’s understated score, and a talented ensemble of character actors, the film explores paranoia at its worst; stuck in the frozen tundra while not knowing who’s who. Even more impressive, the lack of any recognizable actors makes it hard to identify who is or isn’t The Thing; even Kurt Russell acts suspicious enough to warrant…suspicion. The special effects aren’t amazing, but they’re still impressive and quite gory, and they only add to the excellent tension-building drama. My highest recommendation on this list.
Halloween (1978)-Another John Carpenter classic, the original slasher film about a young boy who kills his sister only to grow up into a strapping young man…who breaks out of the loony bin and kills people (Hey, you can’t fix everyone). With a memorable score by John Carpenter himself, the film moves at a slow pace, much like The Thing, but it definitely builds up the suspense all the way to its shocking conclusion. Unlike its successors, Halloween is not flashy, and the violence is minimal, almost quiet in a way. It happens, and that’s it. Very little blood, but a whole lot of scare.
The Silence of the Lambs (1991)-A very good thriller about an FBI rookie tracking a serial killer with the help of another serial killer, Silence of the Lambs boasts one of THE most terrifying scenes in a film: the escape of Dr. Lecter from his prison. I can’t go into how it happens, but it’s sudden, brutal, sadistic, and quite clever, everything you expect from a man named “Hannibal the Cannibal”. Just that scene alone is worth watching at night without the lights, but the film remains a suspenseful thrill ride nonetheless.
Aliens (1986)-While more action-oriented than the original Alien, Aliens is still terrifying in the sense that, in my opinion, the second scariest alien of all time (behind The Thing) is not alone, and there’s more. A lot more. A hell of a lot more. A film that perfectly blends action, drama, humor, and suspense, the idea of these Marines outmanned, outgunned, and with little chance to survive is nerve-wracking. It almost makes you feel like you’re there with them, trying to figure out how to escape. The film works best when providing more obstacles for the humans to overcome, making the characters more complex and all the more heroic. Standout scene is the Ripley vs. Face Hugger scene. See how fast your heart beats while watching.
Universal films-For me, the Frankenstein, Wolf Man, Dracula films are just so much fun to watch. Back when makeup was the best special effect a studio had, these films, to me at least, make me appreciate Halloween even more, not to mention the effort it took for these films to be made. Cheesy? No, more like dedicated. More than any other type of film, these movies always bring me back to Halloween night, the cold weather outside, the marathon of Bride of Frankenstein, Son of Frankenstein, Ghost of Frankenstein, and then Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man. Very few emotions are as great as reliving a joyous moment, when nostalgia brings you back and for a second, revitalizes you with the smells, sights, and sounds of where you once stood; media nostalgia at its best.
Friday the 13th movies-Probably not my top choice to watch, but when you’ve had enough suspense, and you absolutely, positively want to see some brutal mayhem on Halloween, accept no substitutes. I usually flip back and forth from these movies to something else just because I can’t swallow the plot and the acting from the Friday films, only to switch back and see how stupid a girl in the woods can be when she’s trying to find her boyfriend, who has been dead since his name rolled off the credits. Still, there’s something appropriate about watching these movies on Halloween. The brutality of Jason is still unnerving; you never know when Jason is going to pop out with a blunt instrument; and when else are these movies going to be on, to save you the trouble of actually going out and having to buy them (which I will never ever do). This is more of an honorable mention.
These are, to me, the definitive Halloween films to watch. For hardcore genre fans, I’d even throw in a Halloween II and IV, some Puppet Masters, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Predator, which is a great film to watch any day of the week. So don’t be afraid, check these out, and let me know what you think!

On my trip through Eurasia, I spent four nights at the Tbilisi Marriott Hotel, in Georgia’s capital city.
I chose the property for its good location, and to answer the age-old question: what on earth does a Marriott get you in a post-Soviet state?
Tbilisi Marriott Hotel – Booking
When making an award redemption, the Tbilisi Marriott Hotel goes for 30,000–40,000 Bonvoy points per night. I was fresh out of points after dumping them all into high-end speculative bookings before the introduction of dynamic pricing, so I looked to the cash rates instead.
At the time of my stay, all Bonvoy properties in Tbilisi were offering a 20% discount on bookings of four or more consecutive nights. This brought the cost of my stay down to about US$186 per night.
This was a bit steep for my expectations, but was still one of the best options in a city that was a tad more expensive than I’d anticipated. This was the best available rate at the property, and not a lot more than the Courtyard down the street. Morbid curiosity got the best of me and I bit the bullet.
Besides, aside from my one night in Dubai, this would be my only hotel stay on the month-long trip paid in cash, the rest being funded with Bonvoy points or TD Rewards. I figured I could spare the expense.
Tbilisi Marriott Hotel – Location
The hotel is on Rustaveli Avenue, a major thoroughfare through the heart of the city. The street is lined with a mix of high-end Western shops, as well as historic government and cultural buildings including the Parliament, the Opera and Ballet, the National Gallery (of art), and the National Museum (of archaeology).
Just down the street is the iconic Liberty Square, a roundabout on which the Courtyard hotel is situated.
Also within walking distance is the core of the Old City with historic thermal baths and Narikala Fortress towering above, the funicular up the mountain to Mtatsminda Park, and the Bridge of Peace across the river to Rike Park and other historical attractions.
If you wish to venture farther afield, the hotel is quite close to the underground metro. For a first-time tourist, however, the location is pretty much perfect.
Tbilisi Marriott Hotel – Check-in
The hotel’s curved exterior is in the same Austrian-inspired style that marks many of the other buildings on Rustaveli Avenue.
Inside, there’s a pre-lobby space, with a waiting area and the front desk.
Beyond, the grand hall is the hotel’s crown jewel and the primary attraction of its public space. The cavernous ceiling, marble pillars, and ornate chandeliers complement the architecture of the building’s exterior.
Here, you’ll find ample seating and the hotel’s bar. The room was a popular space for hotel guests to sit and congregate in the evening.
There’s also an adjacent outdoor courtyard, an open-air atrium surrounded on all four sides by the hotel’s guest rooms and other facilities.
The check-in process was straightforward, although I was a bit unclear on the hours of breakfast service. I think something may have been lost in translation.
As a Titanium Elite member, I got a complimentary upgrade to a Junior Suite, which was confirmed upon my arrival.
For my welcome gift, I chose points over a food and beverage credit, as I didn’t want to feel tied to eating on-property.
For my welcome amenity, I received a spread of traditional Georgian nuts and dried fruits. Carefully dodging my allergens, I enjoyed everything that I was able to eat. I appreciated the opportunity to sample some Georgian delicacies at the hotel, as I knew I’d have to be much more discerning with street vendors where I might encounter a language barrier.
Tbilisi Marriott Hotel – Junior Suite
I stayed in Room 401, accessed at the end of a private corridor threaded between other rooms.
Entering the room, the corridor layout opens up past the closet into a… room.
Seriously, it’s just a really, really, ridiculously big room.
The king bed is in the middle of the room, with a gigantic bulbous convex mirror as the centrepiece of the headboard.
Across, there’s a TV, with a minibar below.
The couch on the side unfolds into a pull-out bed, should you need extra sleeping space for additional guests.
In the corner, there’s a supportive leather chair in a reading nook.
Beside the bed, the desk embraced form over function, angled in such a way that it was a bit too shallow to be a functional workspace.
I feel like it’s a bit disingenuous to label this Junior Suite as a suite. When I think of a suite, I expect a little extra something to set it apart. However, there’s nothing here that made this room feel special, aside from its gratuitous size.
Furthermore, the views from the suite are nothing to go out of your way for. The doors to the three Juliet balconies don’t open, as a safety measure. Room 401 is courtyard-facing, so I was treated to views of bald, shirtless, middle-aged Slavic men smoking on their larger balconies on the floor below, rather than peekaboo sightlines of Tbilisi’s picturesque monasteries.
The bathroom is solid but pretty standard – vanity, toilet, shower, the works. No complaints here, but not much to say.
Amenities and a dental kit were provided, along with plentiful bottled water from Georgia’s multitude of mineral springs and glaciers.
There’s also a separate bathtub.
Looking at photos on the Marriott website, my suite wasn’t discernibly different from the base-level Deluxe King Room. Moreover, it appears that not all Junior Suites are configured the same way.
I definitely got the sense that between the configuration and view of my room, I got the short end of the upgrade stick.
Tbilisi Marriott Hotel – Breakfast
Breakfast is served in the main restaurant from 7am to 11am.
Breakfast is provided as a buffet, with table service for coffee, and eggs made to order.
There were a few unique features of interest. Honey was served as a full honeycomb, and they had fresh-sliced ham with the slicing device readily available at the buffet table.
There was also a daily rotation of traditional Georgian food. One day they had the fruit and nuts that came as my welcome amenity. Another time, they served cheese poached in saperavi red wine, more of a novelty than a delicacy but still a welcome one.
I was particularly amused by the translations: “diabetic jam” for sugar-free, and salad being the “healthy option” (as opposed to the rest of the buffet?). I kid, but the dietary accommodations were reasonably comprehensive.
There’s a self-serve mimosa station, with sparkling wine available daily. On weekends, you can also make yourself a Bloody Mary.
As for the usual suspects, there’s fruit, pastries, bread, and a cold meat and cheese spread.

4 of 4
For hot food, there’s a pretty standard selection of eggs and meat.
However, I use the phrase “hot food” loosely. Whether I arrived in the first or last hour of breakfast service, I encountered cold food repeatedly throughout my stay.
There are few things less appetizing than taking cold scrambled eggs out of your mouth just as quickly as you put them in – two days in a row, no less! The sausage was also inedibly cold.
Thankfully, I was bailed out by the made-to-order omelette bar.
As for the “hot” buffet, I stuck with the rotating Asian dishes, including chana masala and stir-fried noodles, which at least had more flavour to mask any other potential deficiencies.
For a hotel at this price point, and in the top tier of Tbilisi hotels, I’d expect better. Unfortunately, this seemed to be a classic case of high-end dining translating into low turnover, with freshness suffering as a result.
This put a serious damper on what otherwise should have been a solid breakfast based on first impressions.
Tbilisi Marriott Hotel – Executive Lounge
Access to the Executive Lounge is available to Platinum Elite members and above, or guests staying in an eligible room.
The space is open 24 hours a day, with a good selection of self-serve bottled beverages. There’s a continental breakfast from 6:30am to 11:00am, snacks from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, and dessert from 7:30pm to 9:30pm.
I checked out the breakfast my first morning, only to find a wholly unappetizing spread consisting of a subset of the restaurant buffet. Given that I had freshness issues in the restaurant, I would not recommend eating breakfast in the lounge.
I didn’t catch the dinnertime snack buffet, but the desserts didn’t particularly enthuse me, either.
I did use the lounge to get a bit of work done one evening, for a welcome change of scenery from the inadequate desk in my suite.
Tbilisi Marriott Hotel – Other Facilities
As you approach the elevators, there’s a wine shop featuring a collection of the country’s numerous traditional styles and vineyards.
Attached to the main restaurant, there’s a café on the street-facing side of the ground floor, open throughout the day to hotel guests and the public. You can also order off the café dining menu in the grand hall.
Finally, the hotel gym is one of the most peculiar I’ve ever seen. There are entrances on two floors. I came in through the lower level, complete with a rickety spiral staircase, and a carpeted foyer that destroyed any goodwill for the hotel’s aesthetic that its otherwise delightful Austrian design had built.
Upstairs, the fitness facility itself was rather small and the equipment was not very extensive.
Nice views, though! Too bad they couldn’t have put a bi-level guest suite here.
The Tbilisi Marriott Hotel is an unfortunate case of a property that punches below its weight.
On paper, in spite of its quirks, it’s not an awful place. The location is ideal no matter what your purpose in the city is. Also, the Austrian architecture is objectively appealing – grand but not grandiose.
However, elite treatment was sorely lacking. The Junior Suite configurations are inconsistent and barely felt like an upgrade. The breakfast offerings were unacceptable, exemplifying the facade of opulence that can run rampant through this embattled part of the world.
Most significantly, I’m disappointed with the value that I feel like I got for my stay. For the quality of the room and breakfast I experienced, I can’t see how the nearby Courtyard could possibly be materially worse, at a lower price point. For even further savings, there’s a Moxy within walking distance across the river, which I’ve heard good things about.
In retrospect, Georgia struck me as a country where a stay at a Marriott property is totally unnecessary. There’s a real soulful culture to the place, and the soullessness of high-end chain hotels felt like the result of a developing country not sure how to effectively harness its admittedly limited demand for luxury tourism in a satisfying, meaningful way. I would’ve been just as happy at a guest house for a quarter of the price.
Indeed, my experience at the Tbilisi Marriott discouraged me from a one-night stay at the Sheraton Grand Tbilisi Metechi before my flight home. I had been curious to compare the two properties, but I really felt no compulsion to stay at another chain hotel in the city.
I was admittedly a bit cavalier with my trip planning for this chapter of my journey, jumping on an easy booking without being critical of my goals and values. Shame on me for not doing my due diligence. If nothing else, it’s a sobering reminder not to be a slave to a brand name just for their loyalty program, if you don’t feel you’re getting value back for what you’re putting in.

Exxon Mobil writer searches past, talks fracking future
(Page 2 of 3)
Even during the 1990s, when oil prices fell sharply and put in motion an era of consolidation, Exxon Mobil was able to maintain its financing and operations discipline to put in cash flow, Coll said.
Based in Irving, Exxon recently announced the company will consolidate its Houston campus and move additional jobs to the Bayou City.
The oil super-major has been mentioned by more than one analyst as a potential buyer of the assets of its chief competitor in the natural gas industry, Chesapeake Energy Corp. (NYSE: CHK), an Oklahoma City company under heavy scrutiny and looking to sell billions of dollars worth of assets this year.
Coll said Exxon has already made a big bet on unconventional resource plays, and the political risk of hydraulic fracturing is still unknown. Buying undeveloped assets from Chesapeake would add to that bet.
As Exxon and the rest of the energy industry grapples with the environmental concerns, I asked Coll if he expected the industry to engage the public to assuage those fears.
“I don’t see evidence that they’re going to change,” Coll said. “I think they may need to before they’re done. So far, they have been emphasizing these fears about environmental concerns are unfounded, and they intend to in effect persuade the public that they’re right and the anxiety is unfounded. There are some challenges ahead for them. First, the trust is broken between Exxon Mobil and many in the public. They can project as much confidence as they want, but it’s not going to make that trust deficit go away.”
Furthermore, Coll said, there are a lot of operators, and they may work at different standards.

Controversial chef Paleo Pete Evans has prompted fury by telling fans not to wear conventional sunscreen because it is riddled with "poisonous chemicals".
The 43-year-old was answering questions on his Facebook page when he gave the advice which has been slammed by health experts.
Asked which sunscreen he used, he told a fan that he "generally" didn't wear any and that people were "silly" for sunbathing wearing regular brands.
The My Kitchen Rules star was lambasted by cancer experts who urged fans not to heed the advice.
After telling the first fan he didn't wear "poisonous", chemical sunscreen, Evans launched in to a tirade against sun-seekers, according to The Sunday Telegraph.
"People put on normal sunscreen then lay out in the sun for hours on end and think they are safe because they have covered themselves in poisonous chemicals, which is a recipe for disaster as we are witnessing today," he said.
Instead he said he used Surfmud, a zinc-based product which is not verified by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted the chef for clarification on his claims.
The Cancer Council said Evans's remarks about sunscreen were also ill-informed and "disappointing".
"Australia experiences some of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world and we have strong evidence sunscreen reduces the risk of cancer.
"It's surprising and disappointing that someone who has a public following would advise to the contrary.
"It's dangerous for the people who follow his advice," said Terry Slevin, the Cancer Council's director of education, told Daily Mail Australia.
He dismissed Evans's claims sunscreen was harmful, insisting the UV absorbers which he refers to as "poisonous" had been appropriately deemed by safe by market watchdogs.
"The safety of the product is the responsibility of a government authority. UV absorbers have been in sunscreen for more than 20 years, they are proven and effective component of sunscreen.
"My observation has been over 20 years is the loudest voices from people who make claims about the adverse effects are those who have a commercial interest in the other type of sunscreen."
While Evans does not promote sunscreen of his own, he is affiliated with ecology skincare which produces natural body and face moisturisers.
Last year Evans prompted outcry with his recipe for a bone marrow broth for babies.
The father-of-two said there had been no evidence to suggest the recipe was harmful to children but despite experts' claims it had the potential to kill a baby or young child.
It contained ten times the daily recommended intake of Vitamin A but, said experts, lacked other key nutrients that are vital to a child's growth.
Runny eggs and added salt in other recipes also attracted criticism. Evans has two daughters from his first marriage.
He recently wed former glamour model Nicola Robinson.

2/7/12: Understanding Pedophilia
No behavior is more reviled in America than pedophilia. Dr. Fred Berlin, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, believes in the necessity of criminal penalties for pedophiles, but, he argues, thinking of pedophilia solely as a criminal mindset hamstrings our ability to control it. Berlin regards pedophilia as a treatable mental disorder. He'll join Doug on Tuesday to discuss our understanding of pedophilia and how we can manage and treat it before it leads to a pernicious incident.

But, definitely daily water changes for the first couple of weeks. Should help your tank have the easiest setup period. Throw some activated carbon in there too for even better chances. Love the fish and stems even if you're scrapping the tank, but it still looks great. Why not keep it as a 0 maintenance cherry shrimp tank or something with a sponge filter and a cheap clip-on light? The moss still looks great.

Casting: Halle Berry in The Surrogate, Michael Shannon in Runaways
by Alex Billington
June 1, 2009
A few casting updates for Monday morning. Last week we announced that Paul Verhoeven would return to direct a thriller called The Surrogate for Fox. Set to star is Halle Berry, who hasn't been in anything since 2007 when she starred in Perfect Stranger and Things We Lost in the Fire. Berry would play the wife who wants to have the child in a story about a desperate couple who find themselves in an unbearable position when they discover that the surrogate they hired to carry their baby is insane. Additionally, Oscar nominated actor Michael Shannon has been cast as the lead in the the rock band film The Runaways.
The Runaways is a film about Joan Jett's seminal 1970s rock band of the same name. Kristen Stewart will play Jett and Dakota Fanning is on board to play bandmate Cherie Curry. Although the film centers on the four female members of the band, there are a number of key male roles representing people who were personally and professionally associated with them. Shannon will play infamous record producer/manager Kim Fowley, who founded the band. Music video director Floria Sigismondi (Marilyn Manson's The Beautiful People) will helm the project based on her own script. Production is set to begin this summer.

Agents kill 3 a day after lawmakers ask Police to “rub out” thugs
Santo Domingo.- Three suspects were shot dead today in an alleged shootout with police in the community Mucha Agua, southern San Cristóbal province, one day after several lawmakers urged the National Police to “rub out” the thugs.
Via Twitter, Police spokesman Maximo Baez said the three men, yet to be identified, were wanted "for committing multiple robberies" reported by the victims.
He said the alleged gang leader Elvin Lorenzo “Picho,” 25, was arrested and had three wallets, a stolen motorbikes, and around two ounces of marijuana. "He (the suspect) said he had sold 15 stolen motorcycles in Mucha Agua, the site of the crimes."
He added that the Police, in coordination with the Office of the Prosecutor, is conducting the required ballistic tests.

Fifteen percent of rural Americans surveyed in the past week said they had either lost their job or were laid off because of the coronavirus pandemic, and an additional 14 percent said they were worried they would lose their jobs, according to the results of a survey released on Thursday. Eight of 10 respondents said the pandemic had affected their lives, most frequently in the form of low inventory in stores and online.
The survey was commissioned by RuralOrganizing.org, which describes itself as a network of rural progressives. Matthew Hildreth, executive director of the group, said the survey of registered voters showed they have broad concerns about the pandemic. “The rural hospital closure crisis … has left small towns and rural communities uniquely vulnerable to the coronavirus pandemic.”
Half of respondents said the pandemic had had “a large impact” on their daily lives, and 32 percent said it had somewhat of an impact. In describing that impact, 88 percent listed low inventory at stores and online, 43 percent reported higher prices, and 31 percent said they had lost income due to fewer work hours or less business. Some 56 percent said they had spent more time watching TV, and 30 percent said they had done more online shopping.
The rural infection rate for the coronavirus is one-fourth the U.S. average, but 80 rural counties have rates above the national average, said the Daily Yonder. “And some rural counties have Covid-19 infection rates among the highest in the country.”


How do you perform a performance test in Java?
Load testing tools and Application Performance Management (APM) solutions are commonly used for Java performance testing. Running load tests around different application scenarios and simultaneously monitoring CPU, IO, Heap usage, etc. using APM tools are key to identifying bottlenecks.
Can we do performance testing using Java?
Java performance testing is the practice of testing Java code to measure the speed of an application. This extends to response times, resource utilization, scalability, and reliability. … For Java developers, performance testing has shifted in two ways: necessity, and complexity.
What is the example of performance testing?
Load testing is one of the simplest forms of performance testing and is usually conducted to understand the behaviour of the system under a specific expected load, for example, the amount of concurrent users on the application performing a specific number of functions within a set duration.
Is coding required for performance testing?
Q #4) Does Performance testing require coding? Answer: Performance testing does not require you to know the advanced level of coding. However, having a fundamental knowledge of programming is an added advantage. For Example, if you are using JMeter, then it is good for you to know the fundamentals of Java.
What are the uses of performance test?
Performance testing can be used to analyze various success factors such as response times and potential errors. With these performance results in hand, you can confidently identify bottlenecks, bugs, and mistakes – and decide how to optimize your application to eliminate the problem(s).
What are the objectives of load performing testing?
Load testing is done to determine the website/application behavior under the expected workload and identify performance issues for resolution. It helps measure the overall performance of user flows, business-critical transactions, resource utilization, etc.
What is Java performance tuning?
This chapter provides information about how to improve performance for your Java applications in the Solaris 8 environment. An application’s performance can be defined as its usage of resources; therefore, performance tuning is the minimizing of its usage of those resources.
What is scalability in performance testing?
Scalability Testing is a type of non-functional testing in which the performance of a software application, system, network or process is tested in terms of its capability to scale up or scale down the number of user request load or other such performance attributes.
How does JMeter test REST API?
How to Test REST APIs Using JMeter
- Launch JMeter.
- Create a Thread Group inside the Test Plan and keep the number of users and the loop count as 1.
- Add a Sampler HTTP Request; Inside the HTTP Request provide the Server name and the Path on which we are going to perform the API testing.
How do you write a performance test plan?
7.3 Test Scenario Build
- The type of the test to be executed (Load/Stress etc)
- The load profile/load model should be agreed for each test type (ramp-up/down, steps etc)
- Incorporate think time into the scenarios.
When performance testing is done?
In this approach, we usually wait until the end of development to start testing. The performance tests take the form of acceptance testing and if the criteria are met, the system is ready to go into production. This involves simulating the expected load scenario.

If chosen wisely you can bring back the best memories…
This current state of consciousness surrounding the planet would have us forget that we are as much nature as a flower or leaf. We surround ourselves in a safe blanket of stifling concrete we forget to go back to our roots and spend a little time in nature.

Creating dream objects can be both fun and helpful in the dream world. Some dream objects, like potions and magic wands, can be helpful in making other things happen in your dream world, such as changing the scenery or making teleportation possible. Other times, dream objects are just for fun. There are several different ways to work with dream objects, and they’re similar to changing the scenery in your dream or even transforming yourself into something or someone else.
The first thing you need to know about any dream control technique is that you have to believe something will happen. You need to tell yourself “I will be holding X when I open my eyes” not “I hope I’m holding X when I open my eyes.” There’s a big difference, and the dream world will definitely react more easily when you know things are happening in your dreams.
While you don’t need dream objects to make things happen, they can be helpful. These types of objects can further assist you in making yourself believe that things are going to happen in your dream. For instance, when you have a magic wand as one of your dream objects, you know that magic will cause the necessary changes to happen in your physiognomy or your landscape so that you can make your dreams come true, literally!
Tips for Creating Dream Objects
Creating dream objects is similar to changing the scenery for many people. Techniques are often similar, and they often involve many of the same basic ideas. As with any other dream control technique, though, creating dream objects can depend very much on your personality and what you prefer to do in your dreams. You might work better with word-based techniques or vision-based techniques, depending on who you are as a person.
Here are some of the top techniques I’ve used to create dream objects:
- Simply imagine that it’s in your hands. When you open your eyes, believe it will be there, and it will be there. You can do the same thing with objects on your head, on your feet, or pretty much anywhere else. This is a good technique to use if you already know you can have some control over your dreams.
- Put the object in the next room. This is slightly more helpful for some people than simply having an object appear in their hands. Say to yourself, “When I walk into the next room, there will be X on the table.” Objects can more easily pop up in another room, sometimes, especially if you’re in a place where that object “makes sense.”
- Keep objects around in your dreams. You can “store” objects in your dreams after they pop up naturally or you’ve already made them. Simply leave an object in a place – this can work for dream companions and people, too, sometimes – and know that it will be there when you return to that particular location. If you don’t automatically end up in that place in your dream, you can teleport to that place. This is a helpful technique if teleporting is easier for you than creating objects from scratch.
These techniques are certainly not the only ways to create objects in your dream, but they are some of the most common. You might also choose to give objects certain powers. This is easiest, for some, with objects we already associate with power, such as magic wands. However, you can also imbue everyday objects, like your real-life favorite baseball cap, with special powers that can help it make your dreams more fun and interesting.

Some of you may be saying: “Richards, how can the verdict be in? The trial has not even started. This is America. A trial is nothing but an inconvenient formality in the good old USA. In fact, some would argue a trial, in and of itself, is a sadistic form of torture. The accused police officers are about to learn what Jesus meant when he said, “Those that live by the sword die by the sword.”
How many people have these police officers sent to the torture chamber that some call a courtroom? Now, they are learning just how unfair of a system we have. Are these officers innocent until proven guilty? I would say many assume them guilty. However, most of the people these officers arrested during their careers were also assumed guilty.
I am willing to admit that even I am guilty of assuming them guilty. The sad thing is we all are guilty. We are guilty of allowing a judicial system that is vile and disgusting. Our system has sent many innocent people to prison. Look at the innocent project if you do not believe me; perhaps, even some innocent people these officers arrested. When George Floyd died, I wrote articles speaking out against police abuse. In the first article, I wrote about what I thought I saw when I watched the video of George Floyd’s death.
The reason I say “what I thought I saw” is there was a lot that we did not see. When I was in one of my law classes, they said, “The worst witness is an eye witness.” They said that because there is a lot that they do not see, and yet, the witness forms an opinion. Most of us have formed an opinion. Here are some things some people may not know.
There is video of George Floyd going through the squad car and out the other side. Also, the autopsy showed George Floyd’s lungs were full of fluid. I think his lungs weighed about three times what they should have. He also had Fentanyl levels at about three times the toxicity levels. It is hard to say because some people can handle more than others. A question we should all ask is, how does that affect the situation and the police officers’ reaction?
As an Emergency Medical Technician, I have had to try and help people who are strung out on drugs and who are mentally ill. The problem in this situation is what is good in one situation can be bad in another situation. I tell the people I train that all we can do is to try and learn from what we do, but do not second guess yourselves. Outside of the situation, I may not agree with what I did, but inside the situation, I may realize it was the only option at the time.
When someone overdoses on drugs and their lungs fill with fluid, they basically are drowning. They are drowning but they cannot swim to shore. You cannot pull them from the water because the water is in their lungs. I have no doubt George Floyd was terrified. When I had my lung problems, and my lungs were full of fluid I was shocked at the fear I could feel. If you have never been there, you do not know.
Just because George Floyd was frightened does not mean he was not dangerous. Panicking people can be very dangerous.
As well, people on drugs can be very dangerous, as you never know what they will do. Getting angry is a waste of time. It is like giving someone anesthesia in an operating room and then getting angry because they go to sleep. I have no expectation of rational behavior from someone on drugs. It is a fair question to ask what should have the police done? How do we know? We were not in the situation.
Have you ever tried to restrain someone without hurting them? Have you ever tried to restrain someone without hurting yourself? The current political thought seems to be the police have no right to protect themselves. Unfortunately, this is made worse every time the police hurt innocent people. The police need to realize that justice protects them as well as us. However, if you are expecting me to allow my patients to harm me, even if I was willing to do the job, I would not be able to do it for long. There is a reason very few people are willing to be Emergency Medical Technicians or police officers. If we do not solve these problems, even fewer people will do the job.
The City of Minneapolis is shutting down the police department. They are just killing it slowly. Wait and see how many more police resign after this trial. This is why I speak out against police abuse. It helps my friends. A fair system helps them do their job.
These are two other articles that explain what direction the unfair system is pushing the country, and how it is the police who need to demand a fair system. In this article, we look at the riots caused by the system. In this article, I call on law enforcement to be the solution to this problem.
Another problem many are overlooking is the huge drug problem caused by our healthcare system. It is well known that the problems caused by the pharmaceutical companies. They have gotten a lot of people addicted to their products. It seems that all they got was rich, and all we got was no justice. The few fines they have paid is nothing more than their sharing their profits with the government that was supposed to protect us.
It also should be asked if George Floyd would have overdosed if the state had not been shut down because of COVID. It has been terrible how healthcare and the government have refused to look at the suffering they have caused with their response to COVID. They claim they have only done good. They refuse to see any evidence otherwise. Many drug addicts have relapsed, and the number of drug overdoses and suicides has skyrocketed.
Living by the sword and dying by the sword shows the tool used by people to kill, can be used to also kill those people. This applies to these police officers. The judicial system they may have used to cause injustice may cause injustice to them. All of us need to take heed of this.
The verdict is in, we are all guilty, and we all lose. If there is injustice for one, there is justice for none. Injustice is the gangrene that is rotting our judicial system and county. If we do not cut it out soon, the system and country will not survive.

The Obama administration has endangered Americans and opened the country to further attack by reversing Bush administration anti-terrorism policies such as harsh interrogations of suspects, former Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday.
Cheney told CNN’s “State of the Union” that the Bush administration’s “alternative” interrogation techniques were “absolutely essential” to preventing further assaults like the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington. Critics said those techniques amounted to the torture of prisoners in American custody. “President Obama campaigned against it all across the country, and now he is making some choices that, in my mind, will, in fact, raise the risk to the American people of another attack,” Cheney said. Since taking office in January, Obama has announced plans to close the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to halt the military trials of suspected terrorists there, and to make CIA officers follow the Army field manual’s rules on interrogations.
‘State of the Union’
John King’s interview with Dick Cheney will be re-broadcast.
Sunday, noon and 8 p.m. ET
see full schedule »
During Sunday’s wide-ranging interview, Cheney also defended the Bush administration’s economic record, arguing he and former President Bush handled multiple crises as best they could. Watch Cheney tout Bush administration » “Stuff happens, and an administration has to be able to respond to that and we did,” Cheney told CNN’s “State of the Union.” The Bush administration took office with a budget surplus and left with deep deficits and higher unemployment.
U.S. reverses policy, drops ‘enemy combatant’ term
But Cheney said the administration had to grapple with the September 11, 2001 al Qaeda attacks and the resulting war in Afghanistan, as well as the disaster of 2005’s Hurricane Katrina. He also defended the invasion of Iraq, which the administration launched in 2003. Obama has begun to wind down the widely unpopular war, but Cheney said: “We’ve accomplished nearly everything we set out to do.”

Ayanna Pressley: African-American woman wins Massachusetts primary
Ayanna Pressley is set to become the first African-American woman elected to the US Congress in Massachusetts, following a primary upset.
The 44-year-old Boston city councillor beat House veteran Michael Capuano to secure the Democratic nomination.
She will not face a Republican opponent in November's mid-term election.
It is the latest in a series of victories for progressive, young and minority candidates representing the Democrats.
This year has also seen a historic amount of female candidates run for Democratic nominations.
In a speech after her win, Ms Pressley said: "Change is coming and the future belongs to all of us."
Others out to break the mould in November
She also referred to President Donald Trump as "a racist, misogynist, truly empathy bankrupt man" and hit out at wealth inequality in her seventh congressional district.
It is the only district in her state to have a majority non-white population.
An emotional video of her finding out she had won has been shared thousands of times online.
Her 66-year-old opponent has represented the district for two decades, and had not faced a primary challenger since he first won the nomination in 1998.
Read more about the November mid-terms:
Conceding on Tuesday, Mr Capuano said: "Clearly the district wanted a lot of change. But so be it, that's the way life goes."
Both he and Ms Pressley are seen as progressives - but she advocated for a more "activist" style of leadership.
She also supports measures deemed radical by many, including abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a federal agency that has enforced President Trump's crackdown on illegal migrants.
Before becoming a councillor she worked for Senator John Kerry and Rep. Joseph Kennedy II - whose uncle, John F Kennedy held the seat Ms Pressley is set to win before he became president.
Ms Pressley's victory comes two months after a similar win against a 10-term opponent by 28-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York.
Ms Ocasio-Cortez congratulated Ms Pressley on Twitter and said the two had bonded over having people doubt their capability and experience.
This photo was taken months ago.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) September 5, 2018
.@AyannaPressley + I bonded over running while constantly told it’s “not our turn,” that we “weren’t ready,” “good enough,” or “experienced” enough.
We kept going anyway.
In June, I won my primary. Tonight, she won hers.
Here’s to November.🚀 pic.twitter.com/4Xf8AnTMUQ
Elsewhere in the state, Congressmen Joe Kennedy, 37, won a comfortable victory in his primary and fellow Democrat Richard Neal, 69, fended off a younger challenger.
Political analysts predict all nine of the state's House seats will remain Democratic in the November vote.
The changing face of the Democrats
Analysis by Anthony Zurcher, BBC News North America reporter
The Boston neighbourhoods that once helped send former President John F Kennedy and speaker of the House Tip O'Neill to Congress will soon be represented by Ayanna Pressley. Her upset victory on Tuesday reflects the changing face of the Democratic Party - younger, more progressive and more diverse.
That should both excite and scare Democratic leaders. There is boundless enthusiasm in their base, which can translate into electoral victories, but they may not be the politicians who take their party to the promised land.
Michael Capuano wasn't caught flat-footed in this race, either. He is well liked in his district and spent time and money to keep engaged and connected to his voters. They just wanted someone else.
So far, this anti-establishment sentiment in the Democratic Party hasn't cost their side seats, unlike the grass-roots Tea Party insurgency among Republicans during the Obama years. The Democratic incumbents who have been upended have been in safe districts.
This is a warning to the party, however, that they shouldn't be complacent. If their side makes big gains in the mid-terms, the base will expect results - or the intra-party combat may just be beginning.
Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren, a favourite to run in the 2020 Presidential election, was uncontested for the state's Democratic nomination.
She will face Republican Geoff Diehl in November after he beat two other Republican candidates on Tuesday.
According to the non-partisan election tracking website, Ballotpedia, there are three elections for the US House of Representatives where Democrats have chosen to not field a candidate.
There are 39 races for the House in which no Republicans are standing.
