Heroes Emerge From Ark. Shooting
Mar. 27, 1998
JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) _ One teacher took a bullet for a student and lost her life. Another was wounded shielding her pupils from the gunfire. A third held a student's hand until an ambulance came.
Even the volleyball coach made a makeshift tourniquet out of a flannel shirt to help stem the bleeding for a boy shot twice in the arm.
There were numerous heroes in the schoolyard ambush at Westside Middle School that left five dead and 10 wounded.
``We don't think about our teachers, principals and school board members as heroes, but I was there and I saw nothing but heroes,'' said Loyce Lowgill, the high school's special education teacher.
Teacher Shannon Wright, 32, threw herself in front of sixth-grader Emma Pittman and was shot twice. Mrs. Wright died in surgery. Emma was unharmed.
The other teacher who was shot, Sara Lynette Thetford, was visited at the hospital Thursday _ where she was listed in stable condition _ by the mother of one of the children she shielded.
The woman hugged Mrs. Thetford's husband, Carroll, and thanked the social studies teacher for saving her daughter's life.
``How are the kids?'' Mrs. Thetford asked, according to her son, Greg, who witnessed the exchange.
Two boys who went to the school are being held on murder and battery charges. Police say Mitchell Johnson, 13, and Drew Golden, 11, ambushed students and teachers who had left the school because of a false fire alarm. Drew's grandfather said his stepson admitted pulling the alarm.
Tristian McGowan, Drew's cousin, said volleyball coach Susie Adams gave him a white flannel shirt to stop the bleeding from his right arm, which had been hit twice.
Pam Dunivan, the school's arts and crafts teacher, stayed with him in the ambulance, reassuring him that he would be all right.
``I think a lot of them,'' Tristian said.
The bullet that lodged in Whitney Irving's abdomen apparently killed her friend, Brittany Varner.
Sixth-grade math teacher Cathy Holman held Whitney's hand while they waited for an ambulance.
Ms. Holman was crying, but stayed calm. ``She said it was going to be OK,'' Whitney said. Whitney was treated and released.
Bullets struck the rear cinder block wall of the gymnasium as panicked students ran screaming back into the school. Teachers stood in front of them so they would feel safe, said Debbie Brooks, whose son, Colby, attends Westside.
Kelly Dunivan, a senior at Westside High School next door, said she could hear her mother on the two-way radio yelling that there was gunfire.
``Luckily, my mother was able to step back inside the door, pulling several students with her,'' she said.
The Rev. Jerry Jolly, a chaplain for the Arkansas State Police, said he arrived at the school within 20 minutes of the shooting and found the children still screaming in the gymnasium.
He told the students: ``The shooters have been apprehended and your parents are on their way. You're safe.''
The news calmed the students. ``It seemed to bring peace,'' Jolly said.

The cool front that arrived over the past weekend was refreshing. As May will soon be arriving, we should be prepared for warming temperatures and longer, sunnier days — a change of seasons.
We had had a few significant rainstorms occur in April; the weather station in the Master Gardener Demonstration Garden in Carbide Park recorded a rainfall of 3.9 inches a few days ago. Here’s hoping that the rainfall over the month of May occurs in evenly spaced installments over time and in amounts.
Busy days of gardening are in store for the May gardener in completing spring chores and in preparing for summer. The following gardening educational programs and gardening checklists will be helpful:
Garden tool care, a hands-on workshop: Galveston County Master Gardeners Henry Harrison III and Tim Jahnke will demonstrate the proper use and maintenance of garden tools. There will be a discussion on types of garden tools, followed by hands-on demonstration on cleaning, sharpening and using garden tools.
Additional discussion topics include selection of quality tools, ergonomically designed tools, basic sharpening, rust prevention and removal, safety, restoring antique tools, fluids/oils/solvents, techniques for tool use and storage. Bring up to three of your garden tools to the workshop reconditioning.
Henry and Tim will help you get your tools ready for a productive garden season and provide knowledge about keeping them in top working condition. The workshop will be conducted on May 6, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the Galveston County Master Gardener Demonstration Garden located in Carbide Park (4102 Main St., FM 519) in La Marque. Preregistration required (email email@example.com or phone 281-309-5065). Class size is limited to 30 students and will take place rain or shine.
Home Fruit Growers’ Tour on May 20: Three fruit orchards are on this year’s tour. Each location will be open from 9 a.m. to noon.
This year’s tour sites contain a wide variety of fruit trees ranging from a peach orchard (Fruit ‘n Such Orchard located at 6309 Ave. U in Texas City), the Master Gardener Demonstration Orchard (located in Carbide Park in La Marque) and a sizable home orchard in Santa Fe. Tour maps and additional details may be downloaded from my website address provided with this column (click on the “Extension Educational Programs” link). Additional information will also be provided in next week’s garden column.
Open House at Demonstration Garden and Extension Office: The Master Gardeners invite area residents to tour their Demonstration Garden in Carbide Park on Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Demonstration Garden consists of several theme gardens including a Butterfly Garden, a Serenity Garden, an Earth-Kind Garden as well as dozens of raised vegetable beds and nearly 100 fruit trees.
My co-workers and I also extend an invitation to area residents to attend our Open House activities at the Galveston County Extension Office located at in Carbide Park (4102-B Main St.) in La Marque on Monday, May 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Homeowners are encouraged to bring plant and insect samples for identification. Or, you are welcome to just drop by, visit with us and tour our facilities.
Lawns: Many homeowners will level out low spots in the lawns this time of the year using sharp sand or bank sand as the only filler. While this is a common practice, it is not a good one. Use of sand to fill low areas in a lawn will very likely cause problems later on with unsatisfactory lawn growth.
Such areas will suffer more from drought stress during the summer and will likely have problems with soil nutrient uptake. For best results, use a good quality topsoil to fill in low areas of the lawn.
Blackberries: Blackberries will be coming into production in May. As canes which produced fruit this season finished bearing and start to die back, they should be removed at ground level. “Tip back” new canes to encourage branching; next year’s blackberries will be produced on these canes.
Fertilize vegetables: For best growth and yield of vegetables, apply small amounts of nitrogen fertilizer (called side dressing) every couple of weeks. This will keep vegetables growing vigorously so they reach their maximum yield potential.

The stripes on zebra coats may do more than just assist with fly control: They may help control body temperature, new research shows. Small-scale convection currents created between the stripes aid evaporation and the zebra's ability to erect the hair on their black stripes also helps with heat loss.
Former biology technician Alison Cobb and her zoologist husband, Dr. Stephen Cobb, spend many years in sub-Saharan Africa while Dr. Cobb directed environmental research and development projects. While there, they were able to study zebras in their natural habitat to determine if the animal's stripes assisted with temperature control. For their research, the duo used a male and female zebra, and a zebra hide as a control.
The study showed that the temperature difference between the black and white stripes increased with the temperature. The temperature on the living zebras leveled out at 12 to 15 degrees hotter than the white; the difference between the stripes on the zebra hide continuously heated up. This indicates that there is an underlying mechanism that prevents black zebra stripes from continuously heating up.
The team also discovered that the hair in the black stripes became raised as the temperature rose, while the hair in the white stripes remained flat. This ability to raise the hair shaft allows for increased air flow and sweat evaporation.
The researchers concluded that stripes on zebra coats may to assist with heat control, though more research is needed.

Chinese shares plunged on Monday after regulators issued rules that will allow new listings to resume next year following a more than a year-long freeze, sparking concerns the huge pipeline of new listings could drain liquidity from existing stocks.
Over the weekend, regulators issued the long-awaited rules, which have stricter initial public offering (IPO) disclosure requirements and shorter review times. The China Securities Regulatory Commission froze IPOs in a move to improve scrutiny of stock market hopefuls and increase investor confidence with improved listing procedures.
The Shenzhen index ended down 5.0 percent at 1035.537 Monday, with the small-cap ChiNext hardest hit, ending down more than 8 percent. Shanghai trade was more moderate, with the Composite Index ending down 0.6 percent at 2207.37.
(Read more: China's IPO freeze may spur wave of asset sales)
"The Shenzhen index is heavily represented by smaller, growth-oriented companies, compared with the main market in Shanghai," noted Louis Kuijs, a China economist for RBS, explaining why the Shenzhen market may be harder hit than Shanghai's. "Small companies are more likely to list in Shenzhen."

Torturing Twitter is an internet-based interactive performance by Adachi. He reads and sings a real-time stream of several hashtags and search words of Twitter in a destructive way. There are some hashtags that he doesn’t miss; #power, #war, #cooking and #sex. Some interim hashtags and search words are also added. The twitter timeline works as a real-time text generator or live-score for the performance. The timeline is an epitomical text of people’s thoughts, politics and society, which does not discriminate between public or private. The performance is a radical and funny cut-up of a textualized world.
In the case of a stage performance, the Twitter timeline is projected on a screen, and the audience is encouraged to send tweets in real-time—as it was the case in this recording. Also when the performance is done as a broadcast (for example, WFMU hosted the performance on October 10th, 2014,) some hashtags are announced beforehand. The performer reads English and Japanese, but also tries to read other languages and non-languages.
Conceptually, Torturing Twitter is an updated version of Adachi’s older performance piece Newspaper Singing that was performed frequently in the mid-1990s, where he freely read and sung a newspaper of the day. Since Twitter is faster and more unpredictable, a swamped speed and an inevitable lack of the preparation are important aspects of the performance.

I had no idea that Pepsi was this experimental with their food products! Check this out!
A year ago, PepsiCo attempted to bridge a gap between populist and elite cuisine by experimenting on products like Alvalle chilled soups and Frito-Lay artisanal chips. It was just announced that PepsiCo Café, an elegant pop-up café is now open at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2012 .
The cuisine is going to consist of Pepsi-owned products like Alvalle soups and Quaker oats, and there are nods to both modernist and traditional Russian cuisine in items like red caviar (served with Lays red caviar-flavored potato chips*), Kvass okroshka with beef tongue and sour cream, and an Alvalle gazpacho.
They have also put together a cocktail menu by creating innovative cocktails using Pepsi ingredients. Some examples are a Russkiy Dar Kvass with cranberry, rosemary, and crushed ice and frothy oxygen cocktails with fruit juices.

Democrat Katie Porter, who is challenging incumbent Rep. Mimi Walters (R-CA) in California’s 45th congressional district, has been accused of flip-flopping on the state’s controversial gas tax and misrepresenting her earlier support for raising it.
Last year, the California state legislature raised taxes on gasoline by 12 cents per gallon, along with other automotive fees and taxes, ostensibly to fund transportation expenditures. The gas tax, which hits working-class Californians hardest, is unpopular and led to the recall of freshman State Sen. Josh Newman earlier this year. Republicans have placed a referendum on the November 2018 ballot to repeal the gas tax, and are using the initiative to increase Republican voter turnout in other races.
In lat August, Breitbart News noted that several Democrats running for key U.S. House seats in conservative areas appeared to have broken ranks with their party to support the repeal effort. Breitbart News’ Chriss Street noted: “For example, Democrat Katie Porter, running against incumbent Rep. Mimi Walters (R-CA) in the 45th congressional district, started a cable ad campaign last week opposing higher gas taxes as polls showed Prop 6 [the gas tax repeal] is now highly favored to win.”
However, new audio released by the Washington Free Beacon earlier this week suggests that Porter once supported the gas tax — or, at least, opposed efforts to repeal it.
In the recording, reportedly made at a town hall meeting in May, Porter attacks her opponent for focusing on the gas tax, saying that Walters is using the issue “to distract people.”
Porter also says that she supports the Democrats who voted for the gas tax, including Newman. And she suggests that she supports proposals to use the gas tax to spend on “clean energy” and infrastructure.
Walters seized on the new evidence of Porter’s flip-flopping:
Liberal Katie Porter’s many “positions” on the Gas Tax Repeal:
— Mimi Walters (@MimiWaltersCA) September 11, 2018
The race for the 45th district seat is one of seven that Democrats have targeted in California in which a Republican represents a district that voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Effects of prompt versus stepwise relocation to a novel environment on foals' responses to weaning in domestic horses (Equus caballus)
|Kateg. publikace||Vědecké publikace impaktované|
Artificial weaning is often highly stressful for both mother and offspring. We investigated the effect of 2 different weaning and relocation schedules on growth rate and saliva cortisol concentrations in a group of loose-housed domestic horses. We predicted higher acute stress (cortisol concentrations), but a lower long-term effect on weight gain, which would indicate lower chronic stress in foals, if the foals were moved to the new environment immediately after separation from the mothers (prompt relocation [PR]) compared with relocation that was adjourned for a week (stepwise relocation [SWR]). Within 2 seasons, 56 foals weaned at age of 165-250 days were regularly weighed up to 140 days after weaning. Growth rate significantly differed between SWR and PR foals. The PR weanlings revealed relatively stable increase in their weights, whereas SWR foals experienced a significant drop in growth during the first 3 weeks after weaning. The weight differences were still apparent 5 months after weaning (predicted weight, least squares means ± standard error: 374.40 ± 1.75 kg in PR vs. 362.71 ± 1.66 kg in SWR foals). Cortisol concentrations changed significantly between and within different weaning procedures and were highest in PR foals after weaning and relocation. Compared with pre-weaning values, cortisol levels increased in PR but not in SWR foals, either after weaning or deferred moving. We found large individual variability in foals‘ growth and in cortisol concentrations for both weaning procedures. There was also a year effect in SWR foals. Stepwise changes of the physical and social environment (deferred removal to the remote facility) within a short period after abrupt weaning resulted in lower acute stress but induced long-term negative effects on foals‘ growth rate compared with joint weaning and relocation. Our results support rather prompt moving of the weanlings to the new facility, rather than to a stepwise location on horse breeding farms.

MSU Pesticide News - August 20th, 2014
Pesticide Applicators and Dealers Need to be Aware of Personal Protective Equipment Requirements, Especially when Unfamiliar with a Product
Cecil Tharp, MSU Pesticide Education Specialist
Most herbicide products used in Montana require only minimal personal protective equipment (PPE) and have the corresponding signal word ‘CAUTION’. However, the use of a highly-toxic herbicide active ingredient, ‘paraquat’, has been on the rise in Montana. This herbicide is very useful for applicators especially due to the growing concern regarding glyphosate resistant kochia. Applicators need to keep in mind that this pesticide is very effective but is designated on the 1st page of the product label as highly toxic, signal word ‘DANGER-POISON’ (see image below):
Potential for poisoning increases when the acute toxicity category rises. The acute toxicity categories reflected on a product label are:
Toxicity Examples (death to a 160lb human)
few drops to 1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon to tablespoon
1 tablespoon to 1 pint
Caution or Unlabeled
greater than 1 pint
When using higher toxicity products applicators need to wear more PPE to reduce exposure. Neglecting to following the product label PPE requirements puts you and your workers, handlers and possibly family at risk to poisoning. Poisoning can result in death or permanent impairment when dealing with many high toxicity pesticides such as ‘paraquat’. Due to these risks applicators shouldn’t simply ask dealers, retailers, friends, family or neighbors for the exact PPE, they should always read and follow the pesticide product label. That is the ultimate source and contract for applicators to follow.
Recommendations for Products Containing Paraquat
Common product examples include:
- Gramoxone SL
- Paraquat Concentrate
Remember that the PPE requirements are always on the pesticide product label and are updated periodically. The recommendations for paraquat products are currently divided into 2 sub-categories including applicators-handlers and mixers-loaders. Exposures vary depending on the scenario. If using paraquat applicators must:
Applicators and other Handlers
Wear long sleeve shirt and long pants, chemically resistant gloves (category A: read label for details), protective eyewear, NIOSH approved particulate filtering respirator equipped with N, R, P or HE class filter media.
Mixers and Loaders
Long sleeve shirt and long pants, chemically resistant gloves (Category A), Shoes plus socks, chemically resistant apron, faceshield, NIOSH approved particulate filtering respirator equpped with N, R HE or P class filter media.
There are some interesting differences between the two classes. Mixers must wear a chemically resistant apron and face-shield while applicators don’t. In addition all users must keep in mind the many types of respirators and select only the type of respirator recommended on the pesticide label.
Dealers / Pesticide Retailers
The number one rule when working with pesticide products is to not give out inaccurate information. A dealer or retailer simply indicating ‘I don’t know’ is far better than one giving out advice that is inaccurate when the stakes are so high. It’s always a good idea to review the pesticide product label prior to making PPE recommendations.
Where to Purchase Personal Protective Equipment
Personal protective equipment is often available where pesticide products are sold but not always. We strongly urge dealers to stock PPE that matches the pesticide products sold, however this is only a recommendation. PPE is usually sold at ag retailers businesses that vary by region. You can ask your local pesticide dealer for more information, or you may go online to Gemplers or Airgas for just a few vendors that sell pesticide personal protective equipment.
See personal protective equipment vendors listed above. If you have further questions contact Cecil Tharp (Pesticide Education Coordinator; [email protected]; 406-994-5067).

So basely my life is now in ruins. Like an atom bomb just blew up in my face. Now I know my life effing sucks. So today it started like every otehr day.

"You're the sunlight that gets me up in the morning
the smile that keeps me going
You're always on my mind
I wish you'd be mine"
and whatever the fuck i wrote after that. So i finally got the courage to give it to the girl of my dreams. Then she goes "Hey, if you think this is your ticket to getting in my pants just fuck off. besides your tits are fucking bigger than mine. Hell you've fucking got DDs"
I'm not going to lie i am "hefty" and "big bones" but just because i'm fucking fat doesn't mean she can effing talk about my moob size. please respond?

These delicate Matcha Green Tea Cupcakes are topped with light and fluffy whipped cream. They taste just like a Starbucks Matcha green tea Frappuccino!
I’m taking a break from berries today to share something different, these Matcha Green Tea Cupcakes. This recipe is an older one in my book, from when I first started baking cupcakes many years ago. The base is a simple buttermilk cupcake batter, which I have been able to adapt to make many different flavor cupcakes with just a few modifications. But I guess that’s beside the point.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- I used this exact brand of Matcha green tea powder in this recipe.
- A stand mixer is useful to have, but you can make cupcake batter entirely by hand just using a mixing bowl and a hand whisk.
- I like to use a large ice cream scoop to portion out the batter into the muffin pan. This makes it a much cleaner process.
- Again, a stand mixer is useful for making whipped cream, but an affordable electric hand mixer will work just as well.
- Cupcakes are best when enjoy within 1-2 days, but you can refrigerate them in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
I struggled a bit to decide which frosting to make for these Matcha green tea cupcakes. Since I personally don’t care for buttercream, I crossed that one off the list right away. My go to has always been cream cheese frosting, but I felt it would overpower the Matcha flavor. So, I ended up just using a fluffy vanilla whipped cream and dusted the top with some Matcha powder for both look and taste. I’ve always used whipped cream in this combination in the past, I guess I shouldn’t have tried to reinvent the wheel.
I love the whipped cream and Matcha combination because it kind of resembles the Matcha green tea Frappuccino, which I used to drink all the time back in the day, except in a cupcake form! It’s light and refreshing, and the portion is just right. The perfect way to start off the week, don’t you think?
Matcha Green Tea Cupcakes with Whipped Cream Frosting Recipe
Matcha Green Tea Cupcakes
For the cake:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoon Matcha green tea powder
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the frosting:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 – 1 teaspoon Matcha green tea powder
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a regular size cupcake pan with cupcake liner.
- In a small bowl, measure out flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and Matcha green tea powder, mix well with a whisk and set aside.
- Add buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl and beat with a whisk to combine.
- Slowly pour the flour mixture into the liquid mixture while slowly whisking with the other hand. Mix only until combine, use a spatula to scrape any flour on the side of the bowl and mix up anything at the bottom of the bowl.
- Divide batter equally among 12 cups.
- Bake for 17 minutes until an inserted toothpick in the middle of the cupcake comes out clean.
- Remove cupcakes from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
- To make the frosting, combine heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract and sugar in a medium mixing bowl, beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peak forms.
- Transfer whipped cream to a pastry bag fitted with a round tip, top cupcakes with whipped cream.
- Dust the frosted cupcakes with Matcha green tea powder using a small sieve.
2. Best enjoy within 1 – 2 days, but you can store cupcakes in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
3. Make sure the cupcakes are completely cool before topping with whipped cream.
4. I used culinary grade Matcha green tea powder, which you should be able to find at any Japanese or Korean grocery store.

Stress is a crazy cat. It can make you lose weight (even if you don’t want to), it can make you put on weight, and it can thwart your best efforts to intentionally lose weight.
Especially during the silly season, which, for one reason or another is a stressful time for many.
Family issues, relationships, financial pressures, increased workloads, even the actual day itself – there are many legitimate reasons to be even more stressed out than usual in December.
Yes, we all get anxious and worried, but if your stress is impacting negatively on your weight and your health, you really need to do something about it.
Don’t let it snowball over Christmas, which, as we know, is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year.
There are two types of stress – acute stress (directly relating to a single or short series of events) and chronic stress (where stress has been present over a long period of time).
Being in a chronic state of stress sends the body into survival mode, which can bring on inflammation, insulin resistance or illness, as well as unanticipated weight gain.
Trying to lose weight, with no luck? Well, your body could be suffering the effects of chronic stress, even if you don’t feel it!
Stress hormones and the chain of events that follow set off warning signals to the brain resulting in the brain sabotaging your efforts to lose weight.
This chronic stress triggers increased production of two hormones – cortisol and insulin.
Cortisol is the “fight or flight” hormone. Increased levels can lead to a rise in your appetite, often for high calorie sweets and starchy foods, and can slow down your metabolism. This increases fat storage, and sends fat and inflammatory chemicals to the liver, which may lead to insulin resistance.
Cortisol is also catabolic (losing lean tissue), the opposite of anabolic (gaining lean tissue). Losing lean tissue leads to a decrease in metabolic rate.
Cortisol medications are known to stimulate weight gain.
Let’s talk about insulin. The role of insulin is to regulate blood glucose (sugar) levels and to convert any excess into a storable form of glucose in your fat cells, called glycogen.
Eating more carbohydrates than your body’s individual carbohydrate tolerance (ICT) leads to high levels of blood glucose which in turn leads to high levels of insulin.
Long term, this could lead to insulin resistance, making losing weight very difficult.
For effective weight loss and long-term health, stress must be avoided or managed to keep that cortisol in check.
Setting healthy habits will help you to shake the stress, which, in turn, will help you to drop those kilos. One step at a time. First-up, let’s focus on reducing the overwhelm.
How can you lessen the stress over Christmas and keep those cortisol and insulin levels down?
- Keep your daily carbohydrate intake under your body’s individual carbohydrate tolerance level.
- Maintain optimal protein levels and some good fat in all meals.
- Include Omega-3 oil or fats in your diet.
- Get a daily dose of sunshine – it’s just like taking a happiness pill.
- Make sure you partake in some form of exercise or movement daily – especially over Christmas. When we exercise, the body releases chemicals that boost your sense of well-being and suppress hormones that cause stress and anxiety. Among the chemicals released are endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine neurotransmitters which are related to pain and depression emotions.
- Don’t let the stress send you to the Tim Tams. Make good choices about what you eat to avoid the guilt spiral later.
- Prioritise getting a good night’s sleep over Christmas parties.
- Focus on what you can change (not what you can’t).
- Drink less alcohol.
- Drink more water.
- Be grateful for what you have and the people in your life.
- Practise Yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, breathing exercises to clear the mind.
- Play your favourite music, read a book, start a hobby.
- If the thought of going somewhere stresses you … don’t go!
- Pre-plan your Christmas as best you can, so to avoid nasty surprises and that feeling of overwhelm.
- Be kind to yourself!
- Budget for Christmas gifts – financial stress can be very overwhelming.
- See a medical professional for additional support.

According to oft-reliable insider Daniel RPK, Star Wars and 65 star Adam Driver is in final negotiations to play Reed Richards in Matt Shakman’s Fantastic Four.
Stay tuned for more!
While nothing official has been announced, it’s likely that Marvel Studios and director Matt Shakman does have their eye on particular actors for parts in the upcoming Fantastic Four. Sure, the WandaVision director is busy with the new Godzilla film, as he tells Collider in the interview below, but casting discussions would have taken place – if even over zoom and if even intermittently.
“You know, I’m still finishing up the Godzilla. We’re in post on that, and have a few more months on that. [Then] Fantastic Four is pretty much my life until Valentine’s Day of 2025. All the casting stuff you see is just rumours. We are early in our process there. We have nothing to announce right now, and certainly, when we do we’ll let you know.”
There are a few strongly rumoured contenders for the role of the poppa in Marvel’s first family, though. Let’s take a look at a few of them :
The Slumdog Millionaire actor’s name has been linked to this role, by several oft-reputable insiders, for weeks now. No idea if there’s any juice to the whisper but the versatile actor does fit the part, right!? [More on this rumor here…]
The always in-demand Star Wars and Marriage Story actor has also been heavily associated with those casting rumours. One wouldn’t be surprised to hear that Driver is also someone they’re considering for the role of Doctor Doom too, though. [More on this rumor here…]
Krasinski played Reed in last year’s Doctor Strange sequel but, according to the man himself, and the powers that be, it’s unlikely we’ll see the same actor ported over to Fantastic Four. [More on this rumor here…]

The Fringe and Doctor Death actor is a new name that’s come up a couple of times now. He definitely has the chops, the beard, and is of the right-ish age, but would he be too busy with his TV commitments to even consider such a gig? [More on this rumor here…]

Penn Badgley, of You fame, was one of the earliest linked to the role. The 35-year-old has proven his versatility in recent years so no surprise if this one has some truth to it. [More on this rumor here...]

Virginia Woolf, Vita Sackville-West and two dogs sitting on a grass bank. Monk’s House (Rodmell, England), 1933.
“I try to invent you for myself, but find I really have only 2 twigs and 3 straws to do it with. I can get the sensation of seeing you—hair, lips, colour, height, even, now and then, the eyes and hands, but I find you going off, to walk in the garden, to play tennis, to dig, to sit smoking and talking, and then I cant invent a thing you say—This proves, what I could write reams about—how little we know anyone, only movements and gestures, nothing connected, continuous, profound. But give me a hint I implore.”
– Virginia Woolf in a letter to Vita Sackville-West
English modernist writer, and central figure of the Bloomsbury Group, known for Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and A Room of One’s Own. Raised in an intellectual and literary home, she was dealt an emotional blow at a young age when her mother, father, and two siblings died in quick succession. This led to her first struggle with mental illness, the bouts of depression which would plague her throughout her life. At 30, she married Leonard Woolf, and together they started a publishing house that began printing her work. Before her marriage, Woolf had enjoyed a few intense friendships with other women, and often linked creativity to female companionship. But those relationships were never sexual until she met Vita Sackville-West—a known “Sapphist"—at the age of 40. Their relationship lasted about three years, during which Woolf wrote Orlando. The book, which casts Vita as a man transformed into a woman who lives for three centuries, is seen as a novel-length love letter, though not the only one of Woolf’s works to address lesbianism either obliquely or openly. They remained close friends up until Woolf’s suicide.

The truth was she did not want intimacy; she wanted conversation. Intimacy has a way of breeding silence, and silence she abhorred. There must be talk, and it must be general, and it must be about everything. It must not go too deep, and it must not be too clever, for if it went too far in either of these directions somebody was sure to feel out of it, and to sit balancing his tea cup, saying nothing.

United check-in kiosks are closed inside Terminal B at George Bush Intercontinental Airport Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2019 AP
The U.S. economy is taking a larger-than-expected hit from the partial government shutdown, White House estimates showed on Tuesday, as contractors and even the Coast Guard go without pay and talks to end the impasse seemed stalled.
The shutdown dragged into its 25th day on Tuesday with neither Trump nor Democratic congressional leaders showing signs of bending on the topic that triggered it - funding for the wall Trump promised to build along the border with Mexico.
Trump invited a bipartisan group of members of Congress for lunch to discuss the standoff but the White House said Democrats turned down the invitation. Nine House Republicans - none of whom are involved in party leadership - attended the private lunch.
House Democratic leaders said they did not tell members to boycott Trump's lunch but had pressed those invited to consider whether the talks would be productive or be a photo-op for Trump.
"We are unified," House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told reporters on Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of senators has been exploring solutions. Senator Lisa Murkowski, a Republican participant, told reporters in a Capitol hallway that the group had “momentum” but gave no other details.
Senator Joe Manchin, a Democratic member of the group, said "anything can be part of the negotiations."
"There’s a group - everybody’s talking. Everybody wants to find a way out of this," he said.
"Never in my political life have I ever seen the workers and the citizens that are dependent upon the services be used as a pawn,” Manchin said.
Trump is insisting Congress shell out $5.7 billion for wall funding as about 800,000 federal workers go unpaid during the partial shutdown.
SEEKING COAST GUARD FUNDING
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said she was working with the White House and Congress to pass legislation to fund the Coast Guard. While the Pentagon is not affected by the shutdown, the Coast Guard budget is part of Nielsen's department.
"Like the other branches of the U.S. military, active duty @USCG should be paid for their service and sacrifice to this nation," Nielsen wrote on Twitter.
The Trump administration had initially estimated the shutdown would cost the economy 0.1 percentage point in growth every two weeks that employees were without pay.
But on Tuesday, there was an updated figure: 0.13 percentage point every week because of the impact of work left undone by 380,000 furloughed employees as well as work left aside by federal contractors, a White House official said.
The partial shutdown is the longest in U.S. history and its effects have begun to reverberate across the country.
Longer lines have formed at some airports as more security screeners fail to show up for work while food and drug inspections have been curtailed and farmers, stung by recent trade spats, have been unable to receive federal aid.
Speaking on CNBC, Delta Air Lines Inc Chief Executive Officer Ed Bastian said the partial shutdown will cost the airline $25 million in lost revenue in January because fewer government contractors are traveling.
Trump ran for office in 2016 on a promise to build a wall to stop illegal immigration and drug trafficking. He had toyed with the prospect of declaring a national emergency to circumvent Congress to secure the funding, but this week has backed off from that idea, which would attract a court challenge.
Democrats, who took over the U.S. House of Representatives this month, have rejected the border wall but back other border security measures. They also have insisted the government be fully open before negotiations occur.
House Democrats have passed a number of bills to fund the roughly one-quarter of federal operations that have been closed, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican, has said the chamber will not consider legislation that Trump will not sign into law.
McConnell, who has mainly stayed out of the public fray on the shutdown, on Tuesday accused Democrats of "acrobatic contortions" to avoid negotiating on the shutdown.

The public has been urged to play their part in keeping children safe from abuse during the coronavirus lockdown.
Police and a child protection charity have warned that spending more time at home is likely to lead to an increased risk of child sexual abuse in Northern Ireland.
It comes as incidents of viewing of indecent images of children and online grooming are increasing.
They are promoting the Stop It Now! UK and Ireland campaign urging a greater awareness of the law and consequences of offending, as well as appealing for everyone to do what they can to protect children.
Head of the Police Service NI’s Public Protection Branch, Detective Chief Superintendent Anthony McNally, said children as well as those who pose a danger to them are spending more time online during lockdown.
He described those who pose a danger to children as viewing and sharing sexual images of those under 18, or engaging children in sexual conversations and behaviour.
“Figures released today show that 1,460 people from Northern Ireland contacted the Stop It Now! helpline and self-help website in 2019 to address their risky and illegal behaviour,” he said.
“However when online offending takes place police will take robust action against those involved in suspected criminal behaviour.
“In 2019/20, detectives in the Police Service NI’s Child Protection Team carried out 87 searches and made 47 arrests in relation to this devastating crime, with 121 searches and 79 arrests in 2018/19 and 158 searches and 87 arrests in 2017/18.
I would ask all parents and carers to think about what steps they are taking to supervise their children and grandchildren to help them stay safe onlineDominic Findlater
“Through the Stop It Now! confidential helpline and website people can understand what triggers their illegal behaviour and get support to stop for good.
“The confidential helpline and website also provide support and advice to parents and professionals concerned about child sexual abuse.”
Donald Findlater, director of the Stop It Now! helpline, added: “There is much we can all do to protect children. I would ask all parents and carers to think about what steps they are taking to supervise their children and grandchildren to help them stay safe online, to check online for the latest advice and information, and to ask for help if they’re ever unsure.
“I would also ask those individuals viewing increasing quantities of adult pornography – how are they ensuring they don’t step over a line and start viewing sexual images of under 18s? Because this is the route the majority of viewers of sexual material involving children have taken. Viewers of this illegal material may make excuses to themselves, but the material is against the law, children are harmed in its creation and viewing, and there are grave consequences facing those who are arrested.”
The Stop It Now! Website www.stopitnow.org.uk provides self-help information to people worried about their own online offending and also to their families or friends.
The anonymous and confidential helpline number is 0808 1000 900.

Over the last few months, we've reviewed Word's numbered list features. Specifically, How to control spacing and alignment in a numbered list in Microsoft Word shows how to control spacing and alignment and How to number headings in a Word 2016 document shows a simple way to number headings. In this article, we'll continue by reviewing Word's Multilevel List feature. Fortunately, it's easier to implement and modify than you might think.
You can exclude the first page(s) from numbering. This may be needed if page 1 follows after pages that have no numbers, or have individual numbering as the table of contents in large books. To show number 1 on page 2, double-click on its page number field and set First page to 2. Note that to have the correct page numbers on the following pages, you need either place the page number field on a master page, or set the same First page value on all pages.
In the Adobe InDesign document I’m working on here we actually have two master pages, an ‘A’ master and a ‘B’ master so I’m going to select both the left and right hand page frames with the special character in on my ‘A’ master and go to Edit>Copy. I’m then going to double click on my ‘B’ master page and go to Edit>Paste in place. this will then copy the special character and position it in exactly the same place as it appears on my ‘A’ master.
i’ve had to do tons of this lately and found that for the amounts of tickets being done (e.g. 7000 x 10 tickets + cover & mailer) that chuckT’s solution almost 2 years ago is similar to what i use. would be interested to know if others doing similar VDP are using a wholly indesign/excel solution, or if specific VDP software such as XMPie are being used.
You may wonder whether typing 1, 2, and 3 would be easier than using the ListNum field. Although doing that may be easier initially, the value of using the ListNum field becomes apparent when you cut and paste. When a paragraph contains multiple numbered items that you move or delete, Word automatically updates the ListNum fields. Using ListNum fields assures you of accurate numbering within a paragraph throughout the document.
So now on the A master page in your Adobe InDesign document you should have a capital A in the text frame that we created. This is more than just a capital A though, this represents the A master in your Adobe Indesign document and it means that on every page that is attached to your A master the corresponding page number will appear in that position on your page.
If you ever end up formatting a large book or magazine, then knowing the trick to adding page numbers is a blessing you will be thankful for. You’ll save hours of copy-pasting, and your designs will look sharp, attractive, well thought out, and uniformly excellent. Hopefully this tutorial passed on to you something that you will use many times over.
GREAT tip with lots of uses! Thank you. This will save me hours of work on some tickets I’m designing. However, I also need to set up table tents that have numbers on them. They’re 2-up, and are folded, so each number needs to appear twice on the same page. In short, I want a page with 1/1 and 2/2, and I’m getting 1/2 and 3/4. Am I missing an obvious fix? Thank you.
This feature is easiest to use when you combine it with Word's built-in heading styles. However, you can map a custom heading style to the multilevel numbering feature—it just takes more work. Word handles nine levels, but any document with more than four levels should receive a serious developmental edit. More than four becomes confusing and perhaps worse, unreadable.
You can also insert a page number inside existing artistic or paragraph text. If the text is located on a local layer, the page number is inserted on the current page only. If the text is located on a master layer, the page number becomes part of the master layer and appears on all pages where the master layer is visible. For more information about artistic and paragraph text, see Adding and manipulating text.
To include numbering prefixes from higher levels, enter text or click at the start of the Number box and choose Insert Number Placeholder and then select a Level option (for example, Level 1), or enter ^ and then the list level (for example, enter ^1). In a list with first levels numbered 1, 2, 3, and so on, and second levels numbered a, b, c, and so on, including the first-level prefix in the second level renders second-level numbers as 1a, 1b, 1c; 2a, 2b, 2c; 3a, 3b, 3c.
A List Style stores the information about how to number each level. That includes the format of the number ( "1" or "a" or "i"), whether the number is preceded by text (eg "Chapter 1" or "Part A"), whether the number includes previous levels' numbers (eg paragraph 1.4.3), and the indents (the distance from margin to number and from number to text).
And what all did I forget to do? I forgot to go to 'Styles', 'Paragraph Styles', and I went, right click 'Redefine' because I've reverted to what it was before. So that's page numbering, we used A, B, C, D at the beginning. And we're going to use 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for the rest of it. The only trouble happens, is when you go 'File', 'Print' now, and you're like, "Hmm." "I want to print pages." and you're not too sure. So what I have to do is go to A, through to 30. So it will include A, B, C, D, E, and all the way through the numbers. What if I just need A, B, or if I just print 1-30? It's going to skip out these first pages. That's just something to be aware of when you're printing, or making PDFs, that the page numbering is a little bit stranger now that we've gone and messed around with the page numbering.
Since Word 2000 applies outline numbering by default, as you press TAB or SHIFT+TAB in a numbered list, you are moved to the next or previous outline level. If you are in a numbered list that has outline numbering generated by the method described in the previous exercise, when you choose Bullets and Numbering from the Format menu (or alternate-click a portion of the numbered list), the Numbered tab appears on the Bullets and Numbering dialog box. However, if you first select the entire list and choose Bullets and Numbering from the Format menu, the Outline Numbered tab from the Bullets and Numbering dialog box is selected.
Understanding outline numbering and how outline numbering interacts with styles is crucial to your success in using Word with legal documents. Basic outline numbering can be handled much the same way as bullets and numbering. Seven default outline numbered lists come with Word. Three of the lists format the paragraphs with outline numbers. These lists are in the top row of the dialog box. The remaining four format the paragraphs with outline numbers and apply heading styles to the paragraphs and can be found in the bottom row.
Let's say you just created a paragraph in Heading 1 style. Now, you press Enter to go on to create the next paragraph. What style will that paragraph be in? You can modify a style to stipulate the style Word uses for the following paragraph. So you could set it up so that, when you're entering text, a Heading 1 will be followed by a Heading 2. And, you could set it up so that a paragraph in Heading 2 will be followed by a paragraph in style Body Text.
There is very simple solution that we use and that is to lay out the sheet say 6 up on a A4 sheet as a master page and in document setup set the number of pages to 1,000 if that is the amount you require. Put a page number on each ticket on the page and although they will all have the same number on each page, we put the the first two letters of the customers business name before each number followed by the letters of the alphabet so it then reads for example BT1A, BT2A, BT3A, BT1B, BT2B, BT2C and so on as each page is printed.
Changing the numbering display affects how pages are indicated in the InDesign document, as in the Pages panel and in the page box at the bottom of a document window. The numbering display also affects how you specify page ranges when printing and exporting the document. However, the numbering display does not change the appearance of page numbers on document pages. numbering in indesign

|Let's Go On The Ae 6/6
I had the chance to ride with my friend (who is an engine driver for SBB) on a Ae 6/6 SBB cargo locomotive. Our job was to bring some container cars from the Swiss Parcel Service to the French part of Switzerland. I hope you enjoy the short story and the pictures
While waiting for my friend in Olten train station (near where I live), I tested my camera equipment :)
Actually Olten is not a big train station but an important node for trains in Switzerland and you can see the German ICE or the TGV from France very often during the day. The first row of pictures above showing a regional train (which stops at every train station), a Swiss Inter City Express (ICE) from Bombardier, a typical Re 460 in front of some double stock passenger cars and another freshly painted Re 460 acting as a helper between some passenger cars.
On the lower row can you see part of the Automatic Train Protection (ATP) Security system who stops the whole train if something is wrong. The small item on the inner side of the track counts the axles. When a train passes by then all axles will be counted and if the train passes the next "axle counter" then the system verifies if all axles are still remaining. If not then you have lost some cars on the track and the signals will turn red. There is also a photo from a 28 ton diesel tractors with 850 horsepower and the last photos shows on the left side a Re 6/6 with more then 10,000 PS (horsepower) and on the right side "our" Ae 6/6 with almost 6,000 PS, 45 years old and near 9 million kilometers on the back.
At this time the weather was not very good and it starts raining. In the pictures you can see a part of the SBB Bautechnik Center Hägendorf where they produce almost 500 turnouts (wyes) per year and the container cars who are waiting for us. The second row of pictures show a typical April weather in Switzerland, it's 20 minutes later as we driving near the Biel Lake, the sun comes out and after less then two hours we arrived at our destination the Postterminal in Daillens (French part of Switzerland near Lausanne).
There are some detail pictures from inside the locomotive like the motor who spend almost 1,000 PS (horsepower) per axle and parts of the electricity. The lower pictures shows the Castle Grandson (more then 1000 years old) and the beautiful area around the City Neuenburg and Yverdon.
These last few pictures are also from the areas around Biel, Neuenburg and Yverdon, beautiful places and good wine! Finally some photos from a very popular modern tractor AM 843 MAK 1700 who has a weight of 80
tons and 2000 horsepower (diesel electric).
Good bye and I hope you've enjoyed the little trip!

What secrets are hidden by the fairy tale “Three Fat Men“? Yury Olesha`s memories. Part 1
Yury Karlovic Olesha left us quite modest creative heritage - in fact, only two significant works of art. But they quite were enough firmly to stake out to itself the place in the Russian literature. Already the first novel “Envy“ covered his name with loud glory and brought the impressive fees. N. Berberova remembered how, at the end of 1920 - x years, in one edition discussed V. Nabokov`s novel “Luzhin`s Protection“, and someone from writers said: “Is not present. This, perhaps, will not become “our Olesha“.
Very few people then suspected that so prompt take-off will be followed by silence. Argue on its reasons still - but I would not begin to separate external from internal. There was also an esthetic divergence with “the party line“, and the painful desire is divergence to be overcome. Olesha constantly repents of this “sin“ at literary congresses, in a fuse of repentance condemns the friend Shostakovich in “formalism“, promises to write books “necessary to the people“, but... practically writes nothing. What prevented to write stronger? Soviet policy? Promptly developing alcoholism? Or notorious perfectionism to which Olesha was subject? Like the hero of the novel A. Camus “Plague“, he at times painfully composed the unique phrase (“I in folders have at least three hundred pages marked with figure “I“. These are three hundred beginnings of “Envy“. And any of these pages did not become the final beginning“).
So was not always. Therefore we will wind off our film back, and we will return to that “difficult and happy“ (according to the writer) time when the second great thing which provided to Olesha immortality is created.
Competing to Andersen
Having been born in 1899 in Elisavetgrade (future Kirovohrad), Olesha practically all childhood and the beginning of youth lived in Odessa and not without pride considered himself as the inhabitant of Odessa. Very quickly it surrounded itself(himself) with people, obsessed literature and poetry. And what it were people! Bagritsky, Katayev, Ilf, Petrov... They were young, cheerful, full of ambitions therefore also revolution of 1917 was met with delight. When Olesha`s parents are impoverished Polish noblemen - will emigrate to Poland, Yury will not go with them. To become the exile when here his friends, his love, his literary future? Is not present!
Time, we will repeat, was for Olesha happy, but difficult. All his Odessa company at first moves to Kharkiv, and then in 1922 (at the suggestion of Katayev) - to Moscow.
There inhabitants of Odessa together with Kiev residents - Bulgakov and Paustovsky - settle in the newspaper of railroad workers “Beep“, being engaged in literary processing of the arriving information. Olesha takes himself the pseudonym “Chisel“ and, despite so talented environment, its sketches and feuilletons go out of competition. He in general was the real “king of an impromptu“ and easily could pripechatat any a well-aimed and ironic mot.
In young years, as well as many, Olesha wrote verses, but in 1924 he writes on the poetic collection presented to Bulgakov: “Mishenka, I will nevermore write abstract lyrical verses. It is necessary for nobody. Prose - here the real scope for poetry!“ The first opportunity to verify this statement in practice appeared somehow by itself …
So, once in a window of the neighbour`s house Olesha saw the charming girl - the teenager which with enthusiasm read some book. As it appeared, the girl called Wal Gryunzayd, and Andersen`s fairy tales were the book. Fascinated by the girl, Olesha right there promised that he will write for it the fairy tale not worse than the great Dane. And, not burdened by thoughts of perfection and the line of party, right there was accepted for good reason.
At that time they together with Ilya Ilf lived in the improvised hostel for homeless writers - directly in the building of printing house of “Beep“. This room which is fenced off by a thin partition and deprived of furniture will halloo in “12 chairs“ soon, having turned into “Berthold Schwartz`s Hostel“. And then it was the place of emergence of the promised fairy tale. Having gathered paper rolls in printing house, Olesha directly on a floor scribbled a story about three cruel Fat men, the brave gymnast Tibule and a doll Suok.
Yu. Olesha: “The keg was rolled by
on me, I held it with a hand... Wrote with other hand. It was cheerful, and the fact that to me it is cheerful, I shared with cheerful Ilf“. same
B 1924 - m to year rolls were used up, and manuscripts are sent to publishing house of children`s literature. But in those days the genre of the fairy tale was not still “rehabilitated“. Any inventions and mysticism were considered not necessary to the young builder of new society. Even the fact that the fairy tale was full revolutionary romanticism and it is almost deprived of habitual magic, did not help. The glory of already mentioned “Envy“ which left in 1927 helped. And then afterwards - in a year - in Earth and Factory publishing house with a circulation of 7 thousand copies there was a magnificent edition of “Three Fat men“ with Mstislav Dobuzhinsky`s drawings. On the first edition, as well as Olesha promised, Valentine Leontyevne Gryunzayd`s dedication flaunted.
By then the girl Valya became a girl, but married not the storyteller, and his friend - well-known Evgeny Petrov.
And soon dedication changed.
Yury Karlovic in general was not really lucky in love... Suok
of the Spring of a doll a strange name, said two sounds as though he opened a small wooden round box which difficult reveals: Images of the girl - the acrobat Suok and her mechanical double were born
not just not casually, and are the real quintessence of feelings, impressions and memoirs of the writer. Let`s begin with the fact that else in the childhood Olesha fell in love with the golden-haired girl - the circus actor. What shock when he learned that he her was was... the disguised boy - vulgar and very unpleasant.
The following reminiscence transfers us already to Moscow - to Mylnikovsky Lane where there lived Valentin Katayev. Some time lived in its apartment many homeless writers including Olesha. The doll from a papya - Masha was one of sights of the apartment (it other “lodger“ - Ilf`s brother - the artist Maf brought). The doll was so similar to the living girl that writers had quite often a good time, seating her on a window of which it continually dropped out - naturally, causing genuine horror in passersby.
Well also should not forget about that huge impact which was exerted on Olesha`s creativity by Hoffman adored by it, and it is concrete - a mechanical doll Olympia from the terrible story “Sand Little Man“ which also replaced to the hero his living beloved.
With a doll and circus everything is clear, but from where this strange name - “Suok“ undertook?
Yu. Olesha “Three Fat men“: “Forgive to
me, Tutti, - that in language of the disadvantaged means: “Separated“. Forgive me, Suok, - that means: “All life“... “
A of the girl Suok really existed. And not one, and whole three! Lydia, Olga and Serafima Suok were daughters of the Austrian emigrant and lived in Odessa. There they could not pass by the well-known literary company - and subsequently all married writers.
Olesha was in love in younger of sisters - to Sim. It is in love passionately and it is even painful. He called it “my friend“ (almost the same as Tibul called book Suok). The first years they were happy, but Sima was, to put it mildly, the changeable personality. Once hungry writers decided “to untwist“ for fun the accountant Mack - the owner of grocery cards, valuable those years. Using that he is fascinated by Sima, they were to it on a visit, have densely a bite and suddenly noticed that Mack and Sima are absent. Later time the couple returned and declared that they … the husband and the wife. In those days registration of marriage or divorce took several minutes (you remember the movie “Can Not Be“ on Zoshchenko`s stories?) . The joke turned back misfortune for Olesha.
Not in forces to see a grief of the friend, Katayev went to Mack and just took away Sima from there. That not too resisted, but managed to take with herself everything acquired for a short time family life.
Again found happiness lasted at Olesha not for long. Sima unexpectedly marries again and again not Olesha - and the “demonic“ revolutionary poet V. Narbut (by the way, he will publish the fairy tale “Three Fat Men“ subsequently). Olesha could return it and this time, but by the evening Katayev`s house had gloomy Narbut and told that if Sima does not return, he will blow out the brains. It was told so convincingly that Sima left Olesha - this time forever. Between love and comfort the real Suok preferred the last. After Narbut will disappear in camps, and Lida is elder sister (and the wife E. Bagritsky) - will go to strive for it and itself will ring out for 17 years, Sima will marry the writer N. Hardzhiyev. Then for other writer - V. Shklovsky...
And left Sima Olesha Suok - Olga - “Will ask average from sisters once and you would not throw me?“ - and, having received the affirmative answer, marries it. Olga until the end of life will remain the patient, careful and loving wife though will always know that new dedication on the fairy tale “Three Fat Men“ - “Olga Gustavn Suok“ - concerns not only to her. “You are two halves of my soul“ - Olesha honestly spoke.
Already become an inveterate drunkard old man he will call on Serafima Shklovskaya - Suok, long with her to speak about something while her husband tactfully waits in other room. Seeing off Olesha, Sima cried, and that fastidiously held a large banknote in hand...
The song from m / F “Separated“:
“The girl and the boy was secretly separated,
taught to be to it the sister a doll.
the Doll speaking - cries and laughs.
the Girl leaves - the doll remains...
The fall fades, spring blossom...
Where our brothers? Where our sisters?
the Fairy tale proceeds, the song is sung...
Time leaves - the doll remains“.

Gee, that seems like a lot.
Courtesy of Forbes:
No aspect of Donald Trump’s business has been the subject of more speculation than his debt load. Lots of people believe the president owes $400 million, especially after Trump seemed to agree with that figure on national television Thursday night. In reality, however, he owes more than $1 billion.
The loans are spread out over more than a dozen different assets—hotels, buildings, mansions and golf courses. Most are listed on the financial disclosure report Trump files annually with the federal government. Two, which add up to an estimated $447 million, are not.
It is important to note, as Trump did Thursday night, that he also has significant assets. Forbes values them at $3.66 billion, enough to make his net worth an estimated $2.5 billion. He is not broke, despite what many critics claim.
Some people also like to suggest that Deutsche Bank is the only institution willing to lend to Trump. That’s not true. The president’s creditors include at least six other institutions, two of which began or reworked deals while the president was in office.
One reason for all the confusion: Trump’s loans are not fully transparent. It’s still unclear to whom he owes an estimated $162 million against his skyscraper in San Francisco, for example. The loan against 1290 Avenue of the Americas is also something of a mystery. And it’s difficult to pin down the amount the president owes on a loan tied to his Bedford, New York, mansion. When asked about all of this, the Trump Organization did not respond.
This take by Forbes is significantly different than what we were told by the New York Times.
I guess in some ways it makes him sound like not quite such a big of a loser, but owing 1 billion dollars to anybody does not sound much like a winner to me.

If you read Savage Love this week, no doubt you were as haunted as I was by the letter written by an 18-year-old rape victim who is being re-victimized by the rape culture. Haunted, because her story is so common as to be mundane: Her ex-boyfriend rapes her, but of course, it's "gray", not because he didn't rape her, but because we allow men to rape under some circumstances by politely calling it something it's not. Perhaps we would like to see it as "seduction", or even badgering someone into sex, but if we look at it honestly, what happened was he made it clear that her choices were to "consent" to sex quietly or be raped more roughly. It's not consent if you're told that you consent or else, even if that message is conveyed non-verbally by showing force, as this young man did. (And I disagree with Dan---I think, depending on where she lives, she has a case. Lawyers in the audience?) But because we live in a rape culture (definition for those who are confused about this term), she's not getting support and sympathy, much less justice. Her current boyfriend is blaming her for "cheating", which is like blaming your significant other for overdraft when your house has been burglarized. She's in a swirl of self-doubt and self-hatred, even though she should be proud of herself for doing what she had to in order to get through the encounter with minimal damage to herself. Like Dan says, in our fucked up system, she doesn't have much of a chance to get justice, because we live in a culture that condones aggressive behavior to "get some" from men, including badgering, guilt trips, misrepresenting yourself, and other forms of light coercion that fall short of legally defined rape. And because of this, men who cross the line from, as in this case, mere badgering to making it clear to their victim that her options are non-injurious or potentially injurious rape, and when that happens, we end up condoning that as well, straining to give the attacker the benefit of the doubt, saying he just overdid it out of passion, and ignoring that he was on a power trip. And that these power trips are far more common than we'd like to admit, and they're a factor even in many uncomfortable encounters that aren't legal rape, but are still forms of coercion. (Margaret Cho explains: "Often I would initiate the encounter just to get it over with, so it would be behind me, so it would be done. It is the worst feeling; it is like emotional prostitution, emotional whoring. You don’t get paid in dollars, you get paid in averted arguments.")
Why do we tolerate a culture where, even if rape is technically illegal, the assumption that men are predators and women are prey goes mostly unchallenged? In no small part, it's because we construct women as the "no-sex" class, to borrow Figleaf's phrase, which means, depending on the situation, that women are considered non-desiring people or that women may have desires, but they shouldn't and they feel ashamed of it. (Which is the belief that drives the idea that rape doesn't really happen so much as women give in, and feeling like the horrible sluts they are, make up rape the next day in order to preserve their reputations. This belief is stupid on its surface, because being a known rape victim is much more isolating than just being considered easy.) And it's this problem that is the central question of the new anthology Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and A World Without Rape. It's a series of essays looking at rape and sex from different angles, but all circling around this one idea, which is, "If we began to imagine that sex is something that happens because every party involved is burning with desire, instead of something that one person gives up reluctantly to another as a token for love or even just to get him to shut up, then that would make it easier for people to see rape for what it is, and it would make rape that much harder to excuse or rationalize away."
To make this very clear, I don't think anyone involved with the project is saying that rapists themselves are that confused about their behavior. I interviewed co-editor Jaclyn Friedman about this last week (you can hear it here; I think it's a really good interview, with all credit to Jaclyn for being awesome), and she made the point well. Men who rape have their own issues,* and no one is suggesting that a little more belief in female desire will fix them. But what can be changed is a culture that coddles rape. If we can shift the paradigm from one where sex is something men want and women give to one where it's seen as a collaboration, we would start to see any level of coercion as unacceptable, and rapists couldn't get away with hiding in the "gray" area between pressure and force. (I wrote a really long post a long time, suggesting that the conservative view of sex is that it's a competition, and the liberal one is that it's a collaboration, the difference between basketball and playing in a band, for instance. It seems to have disappeared in our server changes, but tigtog quoted it extensively.) Reading this anthology, I'm more convinced than ever that this pleasure-affirming view of women would have many more benefits than just making it harder to get away with rape. It would mean that reproductive rights were unassailable, and that domestic violence would also be harder to get away with, as people moved away from viewing women in heterosexual relationships as being essentially servile. It would make relationships between men and women more fun for everyone involved, because you'd be partners in crime instead of stuck in a tense relationship where each one is trying to get something out of it at the other's expense. It would make homophobia even more nonsensical, because if sex is about pleasure, and pleasure is good, then trying to define some pleasures as bad on the arbitrary nature of how the genitals fit together makes no sense at all.
The essays attack the problem from a lot of different angles, so if you think it's going to be a hard read because it's such an emotionally draining topic, think again. There are a lot of really sad pieces about the effects of rape culture, including Latoya Peterson's eye-opening essay "The Not-Rape Epidemic". But there's a lot of fun pieces that touch on the positive side of pleasure affirmation, such as Heather Corinna's imaginative piece about what a world that really honored female sexuality would be like (short answer: the sex would be a lot hotter) and Hanne Blank's inspiring piece defending the right of women to define virginity for themselves. There's a minimal amount of grating writing (two essays, at the most) in the pseudo-scientific hippienik vein, a surprising feat since sexual assault discussions have a component of talk about healing, and once that word is introduced, hippienik language is pretty much inevitable. (Seriously, fantasies of kneecap-breaking helped me heal post-assault a lot faster that waggling crystals at my chakras ever could.) There's essays that might be about dark subjects, but are still wildly readable because they're so funny, like Kate Harding's piece about how the "rape is a compliment" fallacy is used frequently to both attack fat women and minimize the violent reality of rape. Lee Jacob Riggs talks about the anti-rape component of working in a feminist sex toy shop, which was fun. The only essay that made me want to put down the book and post critically about it was Stacey May Fowles apology for female sexual submissives, and not because she's wrong to defend them, but because the essay pointedly ignores the real source of feminist discomfort, which is male sadism that finds an outlet in BDSM. I want someone to write that essay, especially since there's a tendency in feminist writing to spend all our attention on female behavior while ignoring male behavior, which reflects mainstream tendencies that make rape apology seem so natural. (After all, the attention is all on why she wore that skirt/attended that party/went on that date and not on why he raped.)
What's really great about this book is that it's so readable, and so it's a perfect book to hand off to someone who wants to know more about feminist thinking about the rape culture, but who is easily spooked by radical feminists who've been thoroughly demonized, like Andrea Dworkin. You can't condemn this book as being "anti-sex" when it's anti-rape, which is a common tactic for rape apologists. In reality, as this book demonstrates beautifully, our rape-coddling culture is the one that's anti-sex. Radically reinventing sex so that it's a collaboration instead of a conquest isn't bad for sex. You don't really know how good it can be until you've had it in circumstances where everyone involved feels safe and free.
*I suspect, from my own experiences, the experiences of other victims I've talked to, what I've read, and what kind of violent imagery and rhetoric gets passed around your more misogynist circles, that most rapists are simply bullies who feel powerful when they terrorize women. They may eroticize it or they may not, but their main aim is a sadistic desire to dominate. It's really not that complicated. That said, I could write volumes about how masculinity is constructed in our culture in such a way as to breed rapists, because so many men think to be men at all, they have to be domineering, and rape is a quick fix for that desire, especially if you're angry at women as a group for making your feel vulnerable.

You must have seen Mark Rober, an ex-NASA engineer and his Youtube channel where he shows different tricks and hacks to make our lives interesting and have an understanding of basic scientific phenomenon as well. Now, what is an April Fool’s day without a genius prank to pull of on your mates or spouse? It is also quite difficult to pull old ones off like your mom is sick, come home immediately or lets get ready for an outing and then you don’t show up or the gruesome ones involving all the fake blood and bandits. In fact, it is much better to have some harmless fun in an intelligent way than freak people out so much that they take some drastic actions. Mark Rober is known for his fun DIY hacks on Youtube, and now he was a guest at Jimmy Kimmel Live and presented some truly ingenious yet harmless pranks to pull off on people who have their guards up on April Fool’s Day. Here are the amazing pranks:
I personally liked the monster figure one as it was pure genius to attach it so close that the guy driving has no idea what is out there. It could have a particularly amazing effect at night when these sort of creatures are expected. The mentos one is fun but a little too dirty to pull off at a party or a gathering. Safe enough to ruin your wife’s everyday clothes, though!
