DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Kyle Larson and Todd Szegedy won the two NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour qualifying heat races for the UNOH Battle At The Beach on Tuesday at Daytona International Speedway.
Szegedy, out of Ridgefield, Conn., claimed the pole position as a result of a coin toss between the two heat winners. By choosing the inside position the entire field from the second heat followed in order of their finish to make up the inside column for the main event. Szegedy scored his seventh consecutive top-five finish in Whelen Modified Tour points in 2012.
In the first heat Larson got the best of 2011 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Ron Silk. Nine-time NASCAR champion Mike Stefanik finished third.
The lone caution in the first heat was for an accident by NASCAR veteran competitor Steve Park, who has 197 Whelen Modified Tour starts to his name along with 183 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts.
Szegedy took the checkered flag in the second qualifying heat, which was slowed due to caution on three occasions, followed by Eric Goodale and Danny Bohn in second and third.
The feature race for the Whelen Modifieds is scheduled for a 7:15 p.m. start. Coverage on SPEED and MRN will begin at 7 p.m. this evening.


Elmwood Park, N.J. July 10, 2017
I had hoped to give you a year end report for 2016 but got bogged down in a number of things that kept me busy.
Besides, 2016 had not worked out especially well for me. Some writing projects that seemed promising fizzled out. In one case, the editor of a video publication agreed to two of my story ideas but before I could complete the first story, the magazine went out business.
However, earlier this year Kino Lorber Video approached me about doing audio commentaries for two of their three upcoming releases of silent films starring Gloria Swanson directed by Allan Dwan. They had reached out to me because of my book on Allan Dwan.
The first of those commentaries was for the 1923 film ZAZA, the first of seven silent film collaborations between Swanson and Dwan. The DVD with my commentary was released by Kino Lorber in early June. You can take a look at it by calling up Amazon.com and entering “Zaza” under the category of “Movies and TV.” When you then click on the DVD or Blu-Ray item that then appears, you can scroll down and see my contribution is listed under “Editorial Reviews.”
Researching, writing, editing and recording this commentary required a lot of work but I have to admit that I did enjoy the recording process even when technical glitches meant that I had to repeat large portions of the narration. I also think that these movies being released by Kino represent the best of Swanson’s work in silent movies, rivaled only by her appearance in the 1928 SADIE THOMPSON (directed by Dwan’s friend Raoul Walsh) which earned Swanson her first Oscar nomination.

Elias Eder successfully completes his doctorate in engineering - congratulations!27.12.2022
Since 2018 Elias Eder has been intensively researching and experimenting with the humidification of air in a bubble column for use in thermal water treatment systems as part of his dissertation. These innovative systems possible on the one hand to desalinate seawater and on the other hand, to purify contaminated industrial wastewater. Through experimental measurements and analytical modeling of the bubble column humidifier, he was able to contribute to a better understanding of humidification and identify new opportunities and perspectives in water treatment. Thus, such systems can be designed and operated in a more energy-efficient and cost-effective way in the future. The findings from his work can also be read in his latest publication. Link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2022.118240
How did Elias manage to do such successful research at the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences and, what's more, seize his opportunity to complete his doctorate? It all started with the Matura at the Bundesgymnasium Feldkirch and his subsequent bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering at the TU Vienna. But that was not all: in search of a stronger practical orientation in his education, he discovered the part-time master's program in energy technology and energy economics at the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences. Even before completing the master's program, Elias took his chance in 2018 and set the course for his successful doctoral studies via employment as a research assistant at the Energy Research Center, which he has now very successfully completed with "Magda cum laude".
For Markus Preißinger, Head of the Energy Research Center and UAS Research Director, this is not surprising: "Elias already stood out for his outstanding achievements during his time as a student at the UAS. During his time as a research assistant, he has repeatedly set impulses in his field of research and discussed his results with the scientific community at renowned international conferences. I am very pleased that Elias has decided to continue his research with us and also to pass on his knowledge to the students of our technical degree programs."
Background: FH Vorarlberg currently employs about 80 researchers in 4 research centers, a research group and 2 subsidiaries. Due to strong national and international networking with partner universities, it is also possible for researchers to work at FH Vorarlberg and do their doctorate at the same time. Elias Eder is just one example of such a successful PhD at FH Vorarlberg.

In the Kingdom Parable regarding “The tares among the wheat,” we find the Lord Jesus informing His disciples, (as well as us who read these words of the Lord today) that the fulfillment of this parable will come to pass at “the end of the world, or age,”. . . the time in which we are living. In fact, we find the fulfillment of the parable mentioned twice by the Lord, indicating its importance.
With this in mind we shall now begin reading from Matt. 13:24-30. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man who sowed good seed in his field; but, while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.
But when the wheat was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? From where then, hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy has done this. The servants said unto him. Wilt thou then that we go gather them up?
But he said unto them, “nay, lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let them both grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest, I will say unto the reapers, gather together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn, but gather the wheat into my barn.
In this parable the Lord is showing some of the events and conditions that must and will take place in the kingdom of heaven (here upon the earth in the latter days). We can expect its fulfillment to take place within our nation, as we move into this time of great activity among the tares, or enemies of the Kingdom people (called wheat in this parable).
Perhaps I should mention before we continue on, that this expression “KINGDOM OF HEAVEN” (or literally of the heavens) refers to the rule of the heavens, i.e. the rule of the God of heaven over the earth. Some of you will remember when Moses went up into the mountain; he came back down with God’s rules and laws for the nation of Israel to live by, and to conduct their society by here upon the earth. Today America is still ruled by God’s laws to a great extent. The enemy has not been able, so far, to completely nullify them, for which we are thankful!
With this in mind let us look at verses 36-43, where we find the Lord Jesus explaining the parable. Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house; and his disciples came unto him and said, Explain unto us the parable of the tares in the field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the son of man (or the Lord Jesus Christ), the field is the world, the good seed are the children of the kingdom (or followers of the Lord Jesus), the tares are the children of the wicked one.
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world (or age). The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom (notice it is still the Lord’s kingdom, in spite of what these evil and wicked tares are doing today, here in America and throughout Christendom) all things that offend and them who do iniquity, (lawlessness, which these wicked are continually promoting and doing) and shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth (evidently this is not literal fire, for these wicked are not destroyed, but in distress). Then shall the righteous (those are the children of the kingdom) shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their father.
Concerning the people the Lord Jesus had in mind when He was referring to the “children of the kingdom”, we simply need to turn to the Old Scriptures (the only scriptures when the Lord Jesus gave these parables). Those of you who are familiar with the Old Scriptures will remember God’s calling to Abraham and Sarah that “in Isaac shall thy seed be called.” Today the Anglo-Saxon people are often referred to by students of the Bible as the Kingdom people.
Turning to the book of Exodus, chapter 19 verses 5 and 6, the Lord, speaking through Moses, said unto the twelve tribes of Israel (Anglo- Saxons, the sons of Isaac), Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people (or literally a people for his own possession) for all the earth is mine; AND YE SHALL BE UNTO ME A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS (witnesses) and a holy nation.
Has it not been the Isaac-sons that have taken the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to all the people and nations, fulfilling the great commission found in Matt. 28? Of course this has literally taken place and still is today.
We also notice that the removal of these tares, or children of the wicked one (i.e. Satan) will not be accomplished until the time of the harvest and then the Lord will send forth His angels to remove them. Until then, neither we nor anyone else will be able or capable of removing these wicked tares from the Kingdom of Heaven, or America, and the other Kingdom nations such as England, Scotland, Ireland, the Scandinavian and other Christian Kingdoms in Europe and other places.
Upon their removal, and only then, when the angels of the Lord have removed these tares, will the righteous shine forth in the Kingdom of their Father. “Who has ears to hear let him hear.” Then the prayer “THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN” shall become reality here upon the earth.
We also have this wonderful promise by the Lord Jesus found in Luke 12:32 Fear not little flock (regarding all the evil that we now see taking place within the kingdom today) for it is your Father’s good pleasure to GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM (of heaven). Praise God from whom all blessings flow! (of heaven). Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Editor’s Note: For more than thirty years, Karl Schott was pastor of Christ’s Gospel Fellowship Church in Spokane, Washington and his popular monthly newsletter “The Pathfinder” invariably published messages important to the Israel nations. He also held important conferences at his church from time to time and attendees always came away with a new enthusiasm for God’s great plan for the nations. I know because I had the pleasure of addressing two such conferences. It was always such a privilege to learn from this kind and warm-hearted servant of God. Fortunately, he had gone to his rest before difficult times fell upon his church, which resulted in its closing about a year ago. He’s gone, but not forgotten by ACP, who was the beneficiary of so much of his wisdom over the years. Here’s an article that appeared in an early 21st century issue of his newsletter.

Summary: I would like to suggest Google integrates My Maps with Google Maps to enable customizable icons and to allow sharing for edit.
Detailed description: Whenever I traveled up till 1.5 years ago, I used My Maps to create a map showing restaurants, cafes, museums, and sightseeing sites of my destination. Icons for each category can have different colors and shapes. This was super convenient. This map could be shared (for viewing only but not for editing).
Yet, Google seems to have abandoned My Maps, at least in the mobile version. Now, if I mark a place in Google Maps, I cannot customize the icon shape and color. This is inconvenient and frustrating. I believe these maps can be shared, but only for viewing.
Now, I would like to suggest Google integrate My Maps with Google Maps to enable customizable icons and to allow sharing for edit. This would make travel a lot easier.
Hi @CanineUser , Thank you for sharing with us. It is indeed possible to view My Maps in Google Maps, as edits can be done directly in My Maps application, in case you are using Android or on web browser with iOS. It would be really helpful if you could elaborate more on the suggestion, as a screenshot can also help as a visual explanation. : ]

Unneutered male cat behavior is a fascinating subject that provides valuable insights into the complex world of feline nature. Whether you’re a cat enthusiast, a new cat owner, or simply curious about our furry friends, understanding the unique traits of unneutered male cats can shed light on their instincts, behaviors, and interactions. In this blog post, we’ll delve into seven surprising traits exhibited by unneutered male cats, uncovering the intriguing dynamics of their behavior.
Physical characteristics behavioral
1. Territorial Marking
Unneutered male cat behavior is often marked by territorial marking. These cats possess scent glands that they use to mark their territory with urine sprays or by rubbing their faces against objects. This behavior is a natural way for cats to establish their dominance and communicate with other cats in the vicinity.
2. Aggressive Tendencies
One of the more noticeable unneutered male cat behaviors is a tendency toward aggression. This aggression can stem from the competition for mates and territory. It’s important to note that this aggression is not a reflection of the cat’s personality but rather a manifestation of their hormonal instincts.
3. Roaming and Disappearing
Unneutered male cats are known to be adventurers. They often exhibit a strong urge to roam in search of potential mates. This behavior can lead them to disappear for days at a time, leaving their owners concerned. Neutering can significantly reduce this roaming behavior, ensuring the safety and well-being of your feline companion.
Unneutered male cats tend to be more vocal, especially during mating season. Their yowls and cries are designed to attract potential mates, signaling their presence and availability. This behavior can be quite disruptive, both for the cat and their human companions.
5. Increased Agitation
Unneutered male cats can display heightened agitation, especially around female cats in heat. This behavior is a result of their strong hormonal drives and the instinctual need to respond to the scent cues of a receptive female.
6. Fights and Dominance
Unneutered male cat behavior often involves conflicts with other male cats. These clashes can range from posturing and hissing to physical fights. The battles are usually attempts to establish dominance and gain control over territory and mates.
7. Breeding Instincts
Perhaps the most fundamental of unneutered male cat behaviors is the drive to reproduce. Their instincts for breeding can be so strong that they become fixated on finding a mate. This singular focus can lead to neglect of other activities like grooming and social interactions.
Reasons to neuter your cat
While the distinct behaviors associated with unneutered male cat behavior are indeed intriguing, it’s crucial to recognize the significance of neutering in promoting a harmonious and healthier feline environment. Neutering, also known as castration, involves the surgical removal of a male cat’s testicles, which eliminates the production of testosterone—the hormone responsible for driving many of the behaviors we’ve explored.
Reducing Territorial Marking and Aggression
Unneutered male cats are notorious for their territorial marking, which can result in a pungent odor and potential damage to furniture and belongings. By neutering, you can significantly decrease this behavior, making your home more pleasant for both you and your feline friend. Additionally, neutering reduces aggressive tendencies, making interactions with other cats—both male and female—more peaceful.
Curbing Roaming and Vocalization
The strong instinct to roam and vocalize, particularly during mating season, can lead to stress for both cats and their owners. Neutering helps minimize these behaviors, ensuring your cat’s safety by preventing them from wandering too far from home and reducing the disturbance caused by their vocalizations.
Promoting Emotional Well-being
Unneutered male cats’ heightened agitation and fixation on mating can negatively impact their emotional well-being. Neutering allows cats to experience a more balanced emotional state, enabling them to engage in grooming, play, and social interactions without being consumed by breeding instincts.
Enhancing Health and Longevity
Neutering not only addresses unwanted behaviors but also contributes to your cat’s overall health and longevity. It reduces the risk of certain health issues, such as testicular cancer and urinary tract infections. Moreover, neutered cats are less likely to engage in risky behaviors, such as fighting with other males, which can lead to injuries and the transmission of diseases.
The Role of Education in Addressing Unneutered Male Cat Behavior
As we delve deeper into the realm of unneutered male cat behavior, it becomes evident that education plays a pivotal role in promoting responsible pet ownership. By understanding the intricacies of these behaviors, cat owners can make informed decisions that benefit both their feline companions and the larger
Supporting Animal Welfare
Acknowledging the traits associated with unneutered male cat behavior highlights the importance of addressing the overpopulation crisis that plagues many communities. Unneutered male cats contribute to the reproduction cycle, leading to an influx of kittens that often end up in shelters or as strays. By spreading awareness about the benefits of neutering, we can actively work towards reducing the number of homeless and neglected cats.
Creating a Positive Impact
Educating ourselves and others about unneutered male cat behavior enables us to create a positive impact on our immediate environment and the world at large. When cat owners choose to neuter their pets, they actively contribute to the reduction of problematic behaviors such as territorial marking, aggression, and roaming. This, in turn, leads to healthier relationships between cats and humans, fostering a sense of community and mutual respect.
Addressing the complex aspects of unneutered male cat behavior requires collaborative efforts between pet owners, veterinarians, animal welfare organizations, and the broader community. Sharing knowledge about the potential behavioral and health-related challenges associated with unneutered male cats empowers individuals to make proactive choices that benefit their cats and the community as a whole.
Promoting Compassion and Responsibility
Understanding unneutered male cat behavior ultimately encourages compassion and responsibility. By neutering our male cats, we demonstrate a commitment to their well-being and the well-being of other animals. We ensure that our feline companions can lead fulfilling lives free from the constraints of intense hormonal drives, allowing them to engage in a wide range of activities and interactions that promote mental and emotional health.
Dr marty becker
becker dr marty has discussed various aspects of pet care, including the behavior of unneutered male cats. While I don’t have specific quotes from him, I can provide you with general information on this topic.
Unneutered male cats, also known as intact males, can display certain behaviors that may be influenced by their hormones and mating instincts. These behaviors may include:
- Aggression: Unneutered male cats can be more territorial and aggressive, especially when they encounter other males.
- Spraying: Unneutered males are more likely to mark their territory by spraying urine. This behavior can be reduced or eliminated through neutering.
- Roaming: Intact males are more likely to roam in search of a mate, increasing their risk of injury, getting lost, or encountering other dangers.
- Vocalization: Unneutered male cats may be more vocal, especially during the breeding season when they are trying to attract females.
- Unwanted mating behavior: These cats may exhibit unwanted mating behavior, such as attempting to mount other cats, including females and even objects.
marty becker dr and other veterinarians often recommend neutering (castration) to address these behavioral issues in male cats. Neutering can help reduce aggression, spraying, and roaming tendencies while also preventing unwanted litters of kittens.
It’s important to consult with a veterinarian for specific advice and to discuss the appropriate time to neuter your male cat based on their age and overall health. Neutering can have a positive impact on both your cat’s behavior and their overall well-being.
Conclusion: Unveiling the Enigma of Unneutered Male Cat Behavior: Navigating Nature’s Course
In our exploration of unneutered male cat behavior, we have delved deep into the fascinating world of feline instincts and evolutionary drives. This journey has revealed the intricate tapestry of behaviors that unneutered male cats exhibit, each thread woven from the fabric of their ancient genetic makeup. We have come to understand that these behaviors, while intriguing, can present challenges both for the cats themselves and for the humans who share their lives.
From territorial marking and aggressive tendencies to roaming adventures and fervent vocalizations, the behaviors of unneutered male cats provide a window into their primal nature. These behaviors are rooted in their biological imperative to reproduce and establish dominance, traits that have been honed over generations as a means of survival in the wild. As we ponder these behaviors, we gain a newfound appreciation for the complexity of the feline world.
However, as much as we admire the power of feline nature, we are also presented with the responsibility of being stewards of our furry companions’ well-being. This is where the critical role of education and responsible pet ownership comes into play. We have discovered that by understanding unneutered male cat behavior, we are better equipped to make informed decisions that benefit both our cats and the larger community.
Neutering emerges as a crucial solution in the puzzle of unneutered male cat behavior. It offers a multi-faceted approach to enhancing the lives of our feline friends. By removing the hormonal drivers of certain behaviors, neutering can reduce territorial marking, curb aggression, and alleviate the roaming tendencies that lead to both stress and danger. As responsible pet owners, it is our duty to consider these factors and take proactive steps to ensure the well-being of our companions.
Furthermore, our journey through the world of unneutered male cat behavior has highlighted the interconnectedness of our actions. The decision to neuter a male cat reverberates beyond the individual pet; it ripples through the community, shaping the dynamics between cats and humans, and contributing to the broader welfare of animal populations. By sharing our knowledge and promoting responsible pet ownership, we collectively contribute to a more compassionate and harmonious world for both cats and humans alike.
As we reflect on the multifaceted nature of unneutered male cat behavior, we are reminded that there is an inherent beauty in the diversity of behaviors that define our feline friends. From the intricate dance of scent-marking to the fierce struggles for dominance, these behaviors tell a story that spans generations and connects us to the primal rhythms of the animal kingdom. Our understanding and respect for these behaviors provide us with the tools to foster healthier, happier lives for our unneutered male cats.
In closing, we stand at the crossroads of knowledge and action, armed with the insights gained from unraveling the enigma of unneutered male cat behavior. It is our privilege and responsibility to navigate this path with care, guided by our appreciation for feline nature and our commitment to the well-being of our beloved pets. By embracing education, compassion, and responsible pet ownership, we paint a canvas of harmony, respect, and understanding—a canvas where the power of feline nature is both revered and tempered, allowing for a more enriching coexistence between humans and their four-legged companions.

About Joan M. Mohr
I grew up in New Mexico and Colorado and recieved my PhD from the University of Pittsburgh. As a historian and author I take advantage of B&Bs and vacation rentals wherever and whenever I travel. Travel, writing, and meeting people from different backgrounds are my very favorite things to do. When I travel I like being on my own, free to make up my schedule as I go, with adventure and discovery waiting around every corner.
I moved to San Diego over thirty years ago. Since then the area has morphed from a relatively small, sleepy city into a vibrant urban center I love to explore. Even though I’ve enjoyed each one of the destinations in which I’ve lived, both abroad and in the States, I always return to San Diego glad that it’s home. The location of my property still excites me.
I’m an avid reader - spy novels in particular. I love John Le Carre. One of my great regrets is studying many languages without becoming fluent in any. I'm a jazz and classical music fan but also a child of the 60's. Movies? I love too many to name, especially Czech, Russian, French and Italian films. “To Kill A Mockingbird” tops my list.
Joan M. Mohr purchased this apartment in 1989

A day after a 16-year-old junior was murdered in an accident outside the school, Emmaus High School students were grieving the loss of one of their own on Wednesday.
Edwin Cortes has been identified as the teenager who died on Tuesday in a two-vehicle collision on Emmaus’ Cedar Crest Boulevard. At the school sign where the terrible crash happened, a monument was erected on Wednesday.
Students visited the memorial after school to give Cortes additional gifts. It was decorated with balloons, flowers, a “Love” sign, and candles with religious symbols.
Emmaus High School students mourn the death of student killed in car accident during dismissal https://t.co/k717huflDb
— WFMZ-TV 69News (@69News) November 1, 2023
Another student left a hand-colored mandala with a note on the back, and another group delivered white lilies, white carnations, pink roses, and white roses. Respect-seeking student stated Cortes was thoughtful, wise, and hardworking.
“He was the smartest kid, he would always help me in math class,” said the student who asked to remain unnamed. “A good friend to the end.”
Tuesday afternoon, just as classes were about to end for the day, there was a crash close to the high school around 2:30 p.m. At the North Street intersection close to the athletic fields, Cortes was a passenger in the backseat of a car that collided with another vehicle.
At the scene, Cortes was declared deceased. Lehigh County Coroner Daniel Buglio stated that blunt force injuries to the torso were the cause and that the mode of injury was unintentional.
Three additional persons, who were identified by the police as current and past high school pupils, were in the car with Cortes. The press release mentioned “several injuries,” although it did not specify how many. The driver was the sole one inside the other car.

For investigative purposes, Cedar Crest Boulevard was closed between Pine Street and Chestnut Street on Wednesday morning. The district said via email that counselors will be accessible at the high school on Wednesday.
The message said, “The death of a student is always a sad and troubling event that can often have a profound effect on friends, classmates and staff. We are here to support all of our East Penn families during this time of grief.”
To help pay for Cortes’ funeral, his family launched a GoFundMe page. By Wednesday night, the campaign had brought in about $29,000. Donations can be made at gofundme.com/f/edwin-cortes by anyone who would like to.

has outlined plans to quadruple its Ethiopian Aviation Academy annual student intake by 2025 as part of its Vision 2025 strategic plan.
“From just a little over 200 trainees’ annual intake capacity a few years ago, our academy can now accommodate over 1,000 trainees annually. The aim is to reach 4,000 trainees annual in-take capacity by 2025, with half of our academy’s capacity catering for the growing training need in Africa and supporting other sisterly airlines in the continent,” Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde Gebremariam said.
Ethiopian is just about to inaugurate a new flight operations and training building, which will house five full-flight simulators covering the Bombardier Q400, Boeing 737NG, 757/767 and 787. Three of these—the Q400, 787
and second 737NG simulator—are new.
“Human resource development is one of the four pillars of our Vision 2025. We are investing heavily to expand the intake capacity of our academy and to introduce the latest technologies and teaching methods such as the ICAO-certified multi-license pilot training,” Gebremariam said.

Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says he’ll back a Trump administration plan to create a Space Force as a new branch of the U.S. military.
Last week, Vice President Mike Pence outlined a proposed effort which would be established by 2020 to face “emerging threats on this new battlefield.” Grassley says the way Pence describes it, America is losing ground in the field where we were once the world leader.
“The United States is behind other countries as far as our concern about outer space, both from a military and an educational and a scientific point of view,” Grassley says. “We need to do more to protect our interests in space.” The Space Force would become the sixth branch of the U.S. military, following the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.
The administration plan would have the Space Force established as soon as 2020. “I’m a strong believer in a strong national defense and if there’s a need to set up a separate branch of the military, I guess I’m willing to do it,” Grassley says, “just because of my interest in the number-one responsibility of the federal government: to defend our citizens.”
One concern Grassley raises is that there would be no duplication of duties between the new entity and existing divisions within the current military system. Grassley says he has concerns about our future security. “I can tell you, China is looking at all of this stuff in space and using it for defense, besides the scientific advantages you can have or the communications advantages you can have,” Grassley says. “Particularly, if they move ahead, we can’t cede space to any of our adversaries.”
The last time a new branch of the military was created was the Air Force in 1947, shortly after the end of World War Two.

Systematic reviews are structured reviews that use scientific strategies to reduce bias in the collection, appraisal, and interpretation of relevant studies. We undertook a systematic review of published systematic reviews in perioperative medicine to summarize the areas currently covered by this type of literature, to evaluate the quality of systematic reviews in this field, and to assess some of the methodologic and reporting issues that are unique to systematic reviews. Computerized bibliographic databases, citation review, and hand searches were performed to identify eligible articles. Quality was assessed using the Overview Quality Assessment Questionnaire. Eight-two systematic reviews were found. Reviews in perioperative medicine tended to evaluate prophylactic or therapeutic interventions. No differences were seen in quality between reviews published in anesthesia and nonanesthesia journals. Nearly half of all systematic reviews had only minor or minimal flaws; however, methods can be improved with expanded search strategies, use of least two reviewers to assess each study, use of validated methods to evaluate quality, and assessment of potential sources of bias.
Implications: The quality of systematic reviews relating to perioperative medicine was examined systematically and found to be similar in quality to those in other specialties. Adoption of recently published criteria on writing and methods could further improve this type of literature.

Network segmentation is a vital part of cybersecurity, but what exactly is it? In short, it’s putting different systems on different networks so that if one system is compromised, the incident is contained to that specific network and cannot spread to other systems. So, in the worst case scenario that a system gets hacked, the damage is as contained as possible. The easiest example is your guest network.
You want your guest network segmented because, by nature, it’s being accessed by devices that you have no control over. This opens you up to potential viruses, malware, etc. If you can’t go without that network, the next best thing is to contain it so that any damage would not be able to spread into your primary network.
Think about it this way. Nobody puts the entirety of his net worth into one area. People diversify so as to protect their money from risks. Some money goes into the bank, some may go into the stock market, some may go into other investments, some may go in a wallet, and some might even go under the mattress! Why? Because we understand there’s risk. We understand that one area might be vulnerable, so we spread out the risk by putting what’s important (our money) into different places. If someone looking to do us harm were to get part of our money, it would be unfortunate, of course, but that person wouldn’t be able to get to ALL of it. We could still function.
That’s what we’re doing with your network. We put different systems on different networks so access is restricted and any unwanted activity is as contained as it can be. Of course, we take measures to protect from unwanted activity in the first place, but we believe in preparing for every possible threat against your system. Your data is worth protecting. Don’t let it be vulnerable because your systems are all interconnected.

President Biden’s Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra says that there’s a “strong chance we’ll see a resurgence of the virus” in the fall when asked if he sees needing more stimulus funds from Congress to fight the pandemic. Their concern comes right in time for midterm elections.
“What I will tell you is that come the fall and winter – uh, most everyone who’s uh an expert on pandemics and these viruses will tell you strong chance that we’ll see a resurgence of the virus whether it’s the [Covid] variants we have now or new variants and we gotta be ready,” Becerra said.
The video was captured by Just The News and clipped by the Gop War Room and caught the secretary leaving a Medal of Freedom ceremony.
“We’re going to do everything we can with the resources we have, and we’ll let Congress know what we can do with the resources we have,” Becerra told Just the News. “At the end of the day we need fuel. If we don’t get more fuel, we’ll take this vessel as far as we can.”
He was then asked if the Department of Health and Homeland Services was having trouble with the huge migration numbers we are seeing coming from our Southern border.
“As you can see from the reports, we’re not seeing children die in federal government custody, we’re not seeing children suffer further trauma and stress because they don’t have an adult guardian with them,” Becerra said speaking about the migrant children in their care. “We do everything we can to treat them as what they are: children. We’ve been fortunate to have a great team that’s worked very hard to make it possible for us to provide them with the care and dignity that we would want to see any child have.”
Customs and Border Protection stopped 239,000 migrants crossing in May, which is 2 percent higher than April. It’s certainly not helping the spread of the virus letting more people in the country that are generally unvetted.
Dr. Anthony Fauci warned in a similar statement, “Everybody wants to put this pandemic behind us, and feel and hope that it doesn’t exist. It does.”
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky also urged people to get their shots “right away.”
This “resurgence” could not come at a better time for Biden. We are coming into midterms and Democrats are polling worse than they ever have before. It’s no wonder that there is a new variant coming out and the administration is pushing for more shots in arms. Do you think that Dems want to scare voters before midterms?

Saudi Arabia braces for ISIS
Jeff Moore investigates the growing influence of ISIS in Saudi Arabia, the rise of incidents, the different cells and what the future holds for the Kingdom
While Saudi Arabian forces battle it out with Houthi rebels in Yemen in their most intense conventional fighting since Operation Desert Storm, a domestic irregular threat looms over the kingdom: ISIS. ISIS has launched several small but effective attacks against Saudi Arabia in the past, and authorities have shut down several cells. None of this is surprising since the head of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, called on Muslims in November 2014 to attack the Saudi government and kill Shia Muslims. These threat variables spell trouble for both Saudi Arabia and the entire Peninsula.
In March and April this year, Saudi authorities arrested 93 members of an ISIS cell that aimed to attack the US embassy in Riyadh with a car bomb. This cell also plotted to attack Saudi security forces, residential compounds and prisons, presumably to free their jailed cohorts. Authorities said that the group further meant to enflame Sunni-Shia relations.
On 22 May, during Friday prayers, a suicide bomber attacked the Shia Ali b. Abi Talib Mosque in Al Qudaih, near Qatif, Najd Province. The explosion killed 21 and wounded 102. The Najd Province of ISIS (central Saudi Arabia) claimed responsibility, and it was apparently ISIS’ first attack in thecountry, though officials believe it might have staged an attack in Eastern Saudi in 2014.
The next week on 29 May – again during Friday prayers – a suicide bomber dressed in women’s clothing attacked the Shia Imam Hussein mosque in Dammam. As the bomber was parking his car, a security team hailed him and he detonated his device, killing four. The Najd Province of ISIS claimed responsibility.
On 3 July, a group of Saudi security officials were in Taidf serving an arrest warrant on an ISIS suspect, Yousif Abdulatif Shabab al-Ghamdi, when they came under fire. One official was killed, and al-Ghamdi got away. Three suspects were arrested and had in their possession laptops, ISIS flags, and silencers.
The Ministry of Interior (MoI) said on 18 July that it had arrested 431 people belonging to four ISIS cells over the past few weeks, many of which were linked to the Shia mosque attacks. These cells were planning attacks on a variety of targets and were also making suicide bombs.
On 6 August, an ISIS suicide bomber detonated his explosives in the mosque of an elite Saudi security force based in Abha, Asir province. The blast, which occurred during noon prayers, killed 15 and wounded 22.
ISIS’ target was the Special Emergency Force (SEF), a counter terrorism unit under the Public Security Directorate, which falls under the MoI. SEF has 13 base camps throughout Saudi Arabia to react to various terrorist scenarios.
ISIS said its operative from Hijaz province of ISIS carried out the SEF bombing against a monument of the apostate. Hijaz refers to the South-Western area of Saudi Arabia, which is close to Yemen, and this appears to be the first time this particular branch of ISIS has been mentioned in open sources.
Later that month, on 23 August, gunmen – possibly belonging to ISIS, say investigators – shot at a police patrol in Jeddah in a drive-by shooting that wounded one.
On 16 September, police conducted raids against ISIS safe houses in Riyadh and Dammam. They arrested three and killed two. The militants had in their possession firearms, scores of ready-made IEDs, and cellphones.
On 30 September, police arrested a Syrian man and Philippine woman in Al-Fayah district, Riyadh, for running a makeshift suicide bomb factory. Aside from defusing two bombs on site, they also found bomb-making equipment, two suicide vests, a machine gun and ammunition.
On 1 October, masked gunmen killed four in two attacks in Al-Shamli, Hail province. The first attack was on a police post where a policeman and two civilians were shot. The second was on a policeman at a traffic station. One of the attackers shouted ISIS slogans during the attack.
On 3 October, police raided two terror hideouts in Dhahran, arresting seven after an exchange of gunfire.
A analysis of these incidents reveals six takeaways. First, those carried out by the Najd group indicate that ISIS is expanding operations in the Arabian Peninsula, and that it’s specifically targeting Saudi Arabia. Since the spring, Saudi authorities have arrested or detained 540 people associated with ISIS cells on Saudi soil. Statistically speaking, since and including March, that’s approximately 77 people arrested each month up to early October. This demonstrates a significant ISIS presence in the Kingdom.
Second, the weapons and target sets demonstrated in these incidents are telling. In each case, light infantry weapons and IEDs were the norm. They are all sustainable for terror and insurgency operations (bombings, raids, ambushes, assassinations, etc.)
ISIS targeting so far has been aimed at the Saudi police/MoI (patrols, stations, and mosques), Shia mosques, a prison, the US embassy, and residential compounds, presumably foreign. These are typical for a movement that’s aiming to destabilise society, embarrass a government, drive out foreigners and inspire silent supporters as demonstrated in scores of other insurgency zones such as Iraq, Southern Thailand, Colombia and Northern Ireland.
The targeting of Shia mosques is designed to enflame existing Sunni-Shia tensions and drive a wedge between the two groups, triggering chaos and bloodshed. ISIS is trying to win Sunni hearts and minds by destroying Shias. It’s an effective destabilisation method that has shown results in Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, and Yemen.
Third, these attacks demonstrate good terrorist and insurgent skillsets. The SEF bombing in particular proves that ISIS has the prowess to target, infiltrate, and successfully strike one of Saudi Arabia’s most elite counter terror units, so these operatives are to be taken seriously.
Fourth, calling the Saudi government “apostates” reveals that ISIS is directly challenging it as the traditional purveyor of Islam. The term “apostate” or munafik, is one of the worst insults in Islam. In layman’s terms, it means, “you are not a ‘real Muslim,’ and you should be eliminated for this terrible sin.” This ‘takfir ideology’ is common to al Qaeda (AQ), ISIS and political Islamist groups. To purely spiritual conservative and moderate Muslims, it’s a haram (forbidden) concept.
The reference to the Hijaz province of ISIS is significant, too. Hijaz is home to Mecca and Medina, the geographic center of gravity of Islam. With this phrase, not only is ISIS making a direct administrative challenge to Saudi’s governorship over these essential sites, it also indicates that ISIS has some kind of operational entity there.
Combined, the Hijaz and apostate factors tell Saudi Arabia, “We, ISIS, are imbedded in your heartland, you are false Muslims, and we are the solution.” This is a powerful challenge because ISIS’ political warfare resonates with millions, especially the more politically inclined Islamists.
Fifth, based on the geographic spread of ISIS-related attacks and arrests, it’s apparent that it has a demonstrated presence throughout Saudi Arabia. ISIS is in the Kingdom’s East, West-Southwest, North central and the capital – and these are just the known points of ISIS activity.
Sixth, the fact that ISIS has given geographic names to its groups suggests that it has an organised structure inside Saudi – cells, at the very least – that focuses on carrying out attacks in specific regions. If the cells are mature and networked, a worst case scenario would be a Peninsula or Saudi-wide insurgency with roots deep inside Islamist sects of Sunni Islam prolific to the area.
Simply put, a terror campaign or insurgent movement is obviously afoot in Saudi. Such a scenario isn’t so far fetched. It has happened before.
Saudi Arabia fought a war against AQ from 2003-07 where the latter’s operatives had infiltrated the military and police, making it easier to attack scores of Saudi citizens, foreigners, and government personnel with bombings, assassinations, and ambushes.
Next door in UAE, a group called al-Islah with alleged links to the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood sought to overthrow that government by trying to launch attacks against it in 2012. Authorities stopped these from happening and arrested 94 suspects. They convicted 68 for sedition in July 2013. A number of these had also set up a shadow government parallel to UAE’s real government from the local level all the way up to the national level. This is a classic insurgent political maneuver.
More recently, on 2 August, the UAE announced that it had arrested 41 people trying to overthrow the government and establish a caliphate. Whether it was ISIS or not remains an open question, but it sounds like it. What other group in the Middle East is currently establishing a caliphate? Not AQ, not its franchises, and not the Brotherhood.
What happens next? Additional attacks, most likely. ISIS said so in a statement released shortly after the SEF bombing. Furthermore, AQ carried out more than 40 attacks during its 2003-07 campaign in Saudi Arabia, and ISIS has proven more aggressive and bloodier than its rival. To suppose it won’t increase its operational tempo in Saudi Arabia and/or the rest of the region ignores recent history and mounting indicators and warnings.
This is not to say, however, that Saudi Arabia and its neighbors are weak and ripe for the picking. They have, in recent years, increased their counter terror and counter insurgency prowess, and they’ve decisively stopped past terrorist campaigns and shut down insurgent movements. But there’s no guarantee of success.
ISIS has made solid progress in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Tunisia, and other parts of the Middle East and North Africa. It knows it needs to continue this momentum to keep attracting recruits. A dramatic and/or a high casualty attack operation in the Arabian Peninsula would do just that.
For these reasons, a strike on a major population centre, a critical military installation, key infrastructure, or even an assault matching the Grand Mosque seisure in 1979 cannot be ruled out. The latter would be in line with ISIS’ accusatory “apostate” rhetoric.
Regardless of the target, however, dangerous times are returning to the Kingdom and the Peninsula, and they’re here to stay until Riyadh demonstrably ramps up its counter politico-religious warfare activities. ISIS excels in political warfare, propaganda, and recruiting. Its brand of Islamist jihad and call to revolution is dramatically appealing, particularly in the Middle East. For Saudi Arabia to be effective, it has to directly confront the Islamist jihadi ideology and correct it, in part by rallying the global ummah, the world population of Muslims. So far, Saudi Arabia has done none of this.

GENEVA – Latest results show that programs supported by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria have achieved significant increases in the number of people receiving treatment for HIV, diagnosis and treatment for TB and having an insecticide treated net to prevent malaria.
The new results, highlighting cumulative progress by programs supported by the Global Fund since 2002, show that the number of people currently on antiretroviral therapy increased 8.5 percent to 10 million. New smear-positive TB cases detected and treated rose by 9.4 percent to more than 16.6 million. Over 713 million insecticide treated nets were distributed to help families protect themselves from malaria, an increase of 8.1 percent. The results are based on data from the first half of 2016.
“These figures represent 15 years of impressive impact,” said Mark Dybul, the Executive Director of the Global Fund. “Global investments in programs that free communities from the burden of these diseases are achieving results that have saved more than 20 million lives.”
Additional results include: 3.8 million HIV-positive women receiving services to prevent transmission of HIV to unborn children; 334,000 people treated for multidrug-resistant TB; 626 million cases of malaria treated.
The Global Fund, which reports results twice a year, this year began implementing a strategy 2017-2022 to maximize impact, strengthen systems for health, promote and protect human rights and gender equality, and mobilize additional resources.

I need help on sending information through the bluetooth serial port
I was building on the BT Demo BlackBerry provides.. but the issue is the other end of my system
is not a BB device but a hardware that i can not do (listen for connection) -it is just a BT modem-
a friend of mine is an android developer.. they can establish the connection and exchange data through the port
without the need of doing any step on the reciever BT modem end..
Thanks for help in advance,
03-23-2012 09:17 AM
Does this mean the other piece of hardware has to initiate the connection? If so you can listen for the incoming Bluetooth in your BlackBerry Smartphone application. We'll need some more details about the profiles supported by the device you are trying to connect to in order to offer more help.
03-26-2012 10:46 AM
Am I correct in saying you can pair with the modem, but cannot open a connection to it?
What profiles are supported by the modem? What type of connection are you opening? What happens when you try?

Hanoi (VNA) – The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is providing Vietnam with hand sanitiser as support for the country in the fight against COVID-19. In the first phase, the UNFPA will supply 7,000 bottles of hand sanitiser which are set to be distributed to the frontline hospitals in Hanoi. UNFPA Representative in Vietnam Naomi Kitahara said it is necessary to support the Ministry of Health and medical workers, especially those working in the frontline, since they have to risk their health to protect other people’s health and prevent the disease from spreading. Protecting medical workers from getting infected must be the top priority throughout the process of response to the COVID-19 pandemic, she said. Kitahara noted the UNFPA wants to show its solidarity with all Vietnamese people, adding that together with UN organisations, the UNFPA always stands ready to assist Vietnam with everything possible to help the country fight against this pandemic.

This joint effort has already yielded important achievements such as surveying more than 15,000 hectares of land and clearing 3,000 hectares of contaminated areas in Quảng Bình and Bình Định, and providing more land for development projects in these provinces. Meanwhile, a database was created with 75,000 persons with disabilities, of which 9,100 were caused by unexploded ordnance or landmines. In addition, nearly 80,000 local students and community members were educated about how to remain safe in areas with potential contamination. The project is truly implemented in the spirit of acting together to bring back life and development to land previously contaminated, as well as giving back opportunities to those who have suffered from UXO accidents by giving them means and possibilities to contribute once again to their families and communities. … [Read more...] about Removing all landmines and unexploded ordnance in Việt Nam by 2030, can it be done?

Dilatant fluids are similar to pseudoplastic systems in that they show no yield stress but their apparent viscosity increases with increasing shear rate; thus these fluids are also called shear-thickening.
At rest, the voidage is minimum and the liquid present is sufficient to fill the void space.
At low shear rates, the liquid lubricates the motion of each particle past others and the resulting stresses are consequently small.
At high shear rates, on the other hand, the material expands or dilates slightly (as also observed in the transport of sand dunes) so that there is no longer sufficient liquid to fill the increased void space and prevent direct solid-solid contacts which result in increased friction and higher shear stresses.
This mechanism causes the apparent viscosity to rise rapidly with an increasing rate of shear.
It is one of the Non-Newtonian fluids which do not obey the Newtonian equation
The value of n > 1 and B = 0 for these fluids
The viscosity (μ) is not constant and depends on how fast the fluid is deforming
These are called shear thickening fluids because the faster the deformation occurs the more the viscosity increases

JUNE 18, 2019
I remember well the day I that read a wonderful post on Samuel Alexander’s Instagram feed. In it, he shared that he planned “to be more open with people about how therapeutic carving can be and how it can help with people’s struggles and bumpy roads.” It’s a recurring theme among many of the spoon carvers that I have interviewed, and one that I personally can relate to as well. As I’ve told many folks, making a spoon is more than making a spoon.
So that was what drew me into Samuel’s carving world, and what a wonderful one it is too! I’m grateful for his answers to my questions below, but when you’re done reading the interview, go check out his sketchbooks on his website. I’m certain you’ll be as inspired as I was by his drawing and carving.
Tell us a little about yourself:
My name is Samuel, I am a 24 year old carver of spoons! I am from North Devon England, from a small little coastal village, but now I live in the depths of East London (with the coast and the woodland still in my heart). I studied illustration with animation here in London but now I manage a busy outdoor store, make spoons, and teach spoon carving.
How long have you been carving and how did you first get interested in it?
I have always had an interest in green woodwork since I was a little sapling. Although I wasn’t aware of what woodworking was, I was very aware that I needed to make swords from sticks to fight off imaginary enemies. I would borrow my late grandfather’s pairing knives and make things like bows and arrows, fishing rods for the ponds, swords and more!
I sort of lost touch with that as I grew up but rediscovered the meaning, freedom and value of green woodwork about two years ago in the form of spoons! Now I make, sell, and teach Spoon Club at The Greenwood Guild.
What are a few of your favorite spoon carving tools?
Oooh! Good question! I love my Svante Djarv axe. It was my first big purchase at Spoonfest and have treasured it since. I have a few Nic Westermann knives which are always a joy to carve with. My favourite tools are the ones that my good friends have made. I have two lovely chip carving knives. One was made by James Wood (@jameswoodmakerofthings) it’s beautiful, the other is one forged by Nic, but ground by Adam Ashworth. I love this one because of the journey it’s been on. As makers, we tell stories, so I like tools that do that too!
Any suggestions of books or websites to learn about spoon carving or woodwork?
There are some amazing resources out there! Spoonclub.co.uk is in my opinion, the best online resource. Hosted by Barn The Spoon, It has wonderful video tutorials that are for both beginners and the most experienced of wood workers. It’s not just videos about spoons, but other projects from bowls, to chopsticks but also videos featuring our favourite green wood workers from around the world. There are a few good books out there, Spõn for example provides excellent tuition. There are great tree guides here in the UK made by the woodland trust. They have books and apps that you can use for tree identification that come in really handy!
Are there any particular spoon carvers who inspire you in your work?
I guess I kinda jumped into spoon Carving without any influence. I needed the craft (I will touch on why in the last question). I just started making! I love the work of other makers and I guess shape and form happens naturally. I am a big fan of makers but I feel that my spoons have always looked a little different and strange to another makers.
I think that there are some amazing makers who do a lot for the craft and who have certainly taught me techniques and safe practice that I’m able to pass onto other people. Barn has taught me a lot about technique and also how to teach people well, and safely. Tom Hepworth has been a great mentor of mine over the years! I have met great friends over the years who drive and inspire me. Alex Yerks, Sam Cooper, Jack Storey, Allessandro Bossio, Adam Ashworth, Dan Lawrence and many more! I love hanging out and getting nerdy about spoons.
How have your spoon carving techniques changed over time?
With confidence! I see it now still, the more I work, the more confident I get. I practice very safely and use proper technique that uses less energy. I have grown stronger in my own hands and this has allowed me to work faster and have a much higher output. I love repetition. I can make the same spoon over and over and tweak the way I approach it each time to make it as efficient and the best version that it can be. Initially facets were hard to get along with, but now I’m good friends with them.
What are your thoughts on popular decorative techniques like milk paint, kolrosing, or chip carving?
I love it! A spoon can be so so playful. I think that there is a grand celebration happening for the art of the wooden spoon. And I believe that makers, making in there own way is something so beautiful. For me, a lot of the time, I obviously remove wood but I feel that I can relate more to a spoon by what the makers has left behind.
What do craft, sloyd, or wood culture mean to you?
Freedom! When we work, we are free. People lose so much in their lives. With craft and sloyd, I have gained so so much and I am thankful everyday that I am able to make. The new wood culture is growing fast and it fills me with joy.
If you had to pick few songs to listen to while carving, what would they be?
I actually make my own spoon carving playlists! They are on Spotify I think. I have a Spotify account called ‘smaddonwayrecords’ I have a few playlists. I like folk songs and storytelling.
My top three would be:
Bill Callahan – Sycamore
This Is The Kit – Earthquake
Michael Hurley – I Paint A Design
Lastly, why do you carve spoons?
I carve spoons because I feel alive when I do! I have suffered from a deep spell of depression, anxiety and PTSD and through different forms of therapy (that didn’t seem to help) I found spoon carving.
The process of being completely emerged in a craft began to distract me from the big dark cloud. Little did I know, it was clearing the skies over me. The more I made, the better I felt. I can honestly say that I feel ‘cured’ of depression, I feel lighter, healthier and have such a better outlook on life itself, and I know that it is hugely to do with the fact that I make spoons. It’s the idea of using all the good parts of yourself to make something and then it looks back at you. You can hold it, admire it, feel every facet and then release it through a gift or selling. It’s wonderful!
I lost so much, relationships with family and friends, memories, the ability to do well at university but through this craft I have repaired the leaks in my hull and have gained more than I could want.
I owe so much to the craft and that is why I now teach and inspire others. I love giving back to it. In my head, the more spoons made, the better people feel. Thus the more people I can influence, the more could be saved. I am a huge advocate for using craft as a prescription.
Thanks for reading and carve on!
Thanks Samuel! You can follow him and inquire about purchasing his spoons on Instagram at @samuelspoon or on his website at www.samuelspoon.co.uk.

EMILY puts two English characters within the framework of a stereotypically French film, deconstructing a common sexual fantasy to explore the moment two strangers meet and attempt to fill their loneliness with each others' need.
The last summer, shown in major flashbacks, dashing archaeologist Joseph has brilliantly flirted with upper middle-class girl Annie Thatcham, delighting her cute naughty kid brother Jimmy and even her headless sister Dolly, yet antagonized their mother, stuck-up widow Thatcham. When Annie bluntly refused to accompany him on a Greek excavation, she was sent on Albanian holiday, met stuffy diplomat Owen and got engaged. At the wedding day, the sisters realize she's giving up on her best chance for happiness, and Joseph turns up, but the party guests and obligations keep getting in the way of actually talking it trough. Written by
Throughout the movie, Joseph, played by Luke Treadaway is frequently asked about the difference between two identical twins who were invited for the wedding ceremony (he even mocks of them at some point). In real life, Luke is an identical twin of his brother Harry Treadaway who is also an actor. See more »
A carefully crafted film which is at once a celebration of English eccentricity and an understated examination of how families often do everything they can to avoid saying how they really feel. Felicity Jones and Luke Treadaway play the lead protagonists brilliantly, but the scene stealer throughout is the wonderful Ellie Kendrick as the younger sister Kitty. Her naivety often reveals so much about what everyone else is really thinking but just can't bring themselves to say. And perhaps the symbolism will be lost on some, but without giving anything away tortoises and a small boy's little bombs mark the path of this film with great effect.

Creative DIY Bookshelves
Take a look at 25 creative and fun bookshelves you can make at home. I love #3 (pictured right) and #4, the ladder bookcases. I'm thinking you could probably spray paint the ladders to have them blend in with the color scheme of your home or you could try to find ladders that would coordinate with a specific design theme. Maybe old wooden ladders for a western/country feel or shiny, silver aluminum ladders for a more industrial design. I also love #24, the stacked benches. Genius! And don't even get me started on #23, spice racks attached to the side of a dresser. Love it!
On the downside, I'm not crazy about #3, the bookmark shelf. I just keep envisioning a clueless family member or friend (probably me) not noticing the bookmark when it's unoccupied and running right into it and taking out an eye.
