François and Thérèse are happily married with two young children. During the week Francois works as a carpenter for his uncle and on the weekends the young family enjoys exploring the nearby countryside. Their life is full of bonheur (happiness) , perhaps even idyllic.
But then François meets Émilie to whom he is instantly attracted. It’s not long before they being an affair, even though she knows that he is married. François seems to believe that his affair with Émilie is not subtracting from what he has with his wife. He doesn’t love Thérèse any less. Instead, his love with Émilie only adds to his overall happiness. But when, he finally confesses to his wife about the relationship and his viewpoint, tragedy ensues.
With the exception of a Netlix series I’m still in the middle of watching, my last couple of foreign film choices have not been favorites. Le Bonheur is very highly rated by IMDb reviewers which is one of the reasons, I wanted to watch it. Many of these reviews touch on the historical, technical and artistic aspects of the film. But as solely a film fan not a film critic, I tend to judge movies based on how I feel about them. And of course as the title of my website states, I am a story enthusiast. So the story is usually the most important aspect of a film for me.
First, let me just say, Le Bonheur is one of the most visually beautiful films I’ve seen. The scenes are filled with vibrant color and light (which are two things I love). I can almost smell the wildflowers and feel the brush of the wind on my skin when the family is cavorting in the country.
There is also the fact that François and Thérèse are so obviously happy, not only in love with each other, but with their children. Their two tots are utterly adorable.
Though this film is beautiful and the family charming, the story left much to be desired. It took a while for the story line of Le Bonheur to appear. For a while I felt like I was watching home videos of a young family just enjoying their life without any plot or timeline. Looking back from the end, I realize the director was most likely setting the scene for a contented family in order to show in stark contrast the effects of François’ choices. It isn’t until he takes up with Émilie, that the film felt like it adopted a pace that was going somewhere. Even then, it seemed longer to me than it’s 79 minute running time.
The main problem for me with Le Bonheur is that I found the story utterly repugnant. My personal beliefs and mindset cannot conceive of adultery (or cheating) being in any way acceptable. Though François explains his point of view, I cannot agree with it. He genuinely believes that his love affair with Émilie is additional happiness to what he already shares with his wife and children. I found this viewpoint either selfish or very naïve, especially with the tragedy that results from it. What is worse, is that he himself suffers no consequences. He just blithely continues on with his life, suffering no true grief, guilt or remorse for what his actions have wrought.
At the beginning of Le Bonheur, I thought François was a sweet, loving, dedicated husband and father. As the film progressed, I found myself shocked and appalled by him. For me, he starts as a hero and ends as a villain, even though he never exemplifies any real villain tendencies.
Although, I fully appreciated the beauty of Le Bonheur, the story ruined it for me, so I can’t fully recommend it.

Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live. Gustave Flaubert
We hope these stories amuse and instruct you, and perhaps allow you to see life from a different perspective. This is what French writer, Gustave Flaubert meant when he said, "...read in order to live." Reading books is a way for us to expand our horizons and travel to places we would not otherwise visit, from the Himalayas to Patagonia, and beyond. Reading is also a way to converse with some of the most interesting guests in the world, writers Hemingway or Fitzgerald, poets Keats or Pound, historians Barbara Tuchman or Paul Johnson, and on and on. And sometimes, a good book is a simple escape to another world or another life.
Gustave Flaubert's Emma Bovary should have chosen a good book over an affair of the heart, but then we would not have had Flaubert's book, Madame Bovary.
And the wonderful thing about books is that unlike family and friends, good books always entertain and illuminate without disagreement. How civil is that?
Oh, a little bit about Traditions Furniture needs to be said.

Welcome to Traditions Furniture.
Traditions Furniture in Overland Park and Traditions Home in Wichita have served the public for over 30 years. We offer Stickley, Ekornes and Stressless recliners, Vanguard, Sherrill, Century, Nichols & Stone, a unique line of Amish and Mennonite furniture called Gat Creek, and more. Add to these fine brands a dash of Uttermost mirrors, Tiffany lamps by Quoizel and Dale Tiffany, unique gifts and accessories, and you begin to get the feel of our two stores.
But anyone, given enough money, could go out and buy or lease a building and fill it with merchandise. True, but what makes Traditions special is the personal service we provide. For over 30 years, we have been about getting it right and designing a home to fit your unique lifestyle. Life, after all, is about people. A house is only a home when it is made comfortable for our family and friends.

Are you tired of constantly shaving, waxing, or plucking unwanted hair? Laser hair removal might just be the solution you’ve been searching for. This increasingly popular cosmetic procedure offers a long-lasting solution to your hair removal woes. By harnessing the power of advanced laser technology, it promises to zap away hair from virtually any part of your body, leaving you with smooth, silky skin. Say goodbye to razors and hello to the ultimate guide to laser hair removal. In this article, we’ll delve into the nitty-gritty details of this revolutionary procedure, exploring its benefits, limitations, and everything in between. Get ready to discover a world without unwanted hair, as we take you on a journey through the ins and outs of laser hair removal.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal is a popular method of getting rid of unwanted hair, offering a more long-term solution compared to traditional hair removal methods such as shaving or waxing. Using advanced laser technology, this procedure targets the hair follicles to inhibit further hair growth.
During a laser hair removal session, a trained professional will use a handheld device that emits a concentrated beam of light. This light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles, damaging them and preventing future growth. It’s important to note that the laser’s focus is on the hair follicles themselves, not the surrounding skin.
The effectiveness of laser hair removal depends on a few factors, including the individual’s hair color and skin tone. The procedure tends to be most successful on individuals with light skin and dark hair since the laser can more easily distinguish between the hair and the skin. However, advancements in technology have also made laser hair removal accessible to people with different skin tones and hair colors.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal offers several advantages over traditional hair removal methods. Firstly, it provides a long-lasting solution to unwanted hair. Unlike shaving or waxing, which only offer temporary results, laser hair removal targets the hair follicles, reducing hair growth over time. This means less time spent on regular maintenance and fewer trips to the salon.
Secondly, laser hair removal is a relatively painless procedure. While some people may experience mild discomfort during the treatment, the advancements in laser technology have significantly minimized any potential discomfort. Compared to waxing, which can be quite painful, laser hair removal offers a more comfortable experience for most individuals.
Lastly, laser hair removal is a versatile treatment that can be used on various areas of the body. From the face, legs, and bikini line to the underarms, back, and chest, laser hair removal can effectively target and remove hair from almost any part of the body. This makes it the ideal solution for individuals looking to achieve smooth, hair-free skin in multiple areas.
By opting for laser hair removal, individuals can enjoy long-lasting results, minimal discomfort, and the convenience of treating multiple body areas.
Preparing for Laser Hair Removal
The success and effectiveness of laser hair removal treatment relies heavily on proper preparation. By following these steps, you can ensure optimal results and a smoother experience.
Firstly, it is crucial to avoid any form of hair removal that removes hair from the root, such as plucking, waxing, or threading, for at least six weeks prior to your laser hair removal session. This is because the laser targets the hair follicle, and removing the hair completely hinders the effectiveness of the treatment.
Secondly, it is important to minimize sun exposure on the areas you plan to treat. Sunburned or tanned skin is not suitable for laser hair removal as it increases the risk of complications. It is advisable to use broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF and wear protective clothing to shield your skin from UV rays.
Lastly, it is essential to shave the treatment area the day before your scheduled session. While this may seem counterintuitive, shaving ensures that the laser energy is solely focused on the hair follicles rather than wasting energy on the surface hair. It also reduces the risk of burning or irritating the skin during treatment.
Remember, preparation is key to achieving the best possible outcome with laser hair removal. By avoiding activities that hinder treatment efficacy, protecting your skin from the sun, and properly shaving the treatment area, you’ll be well on your way to a successful hair removal journey.

Plaintiffs BMA LLC, Yaroslav Kolchin and Vitaly Dubinin filed allege that the leadership of HDR Global — the parent company of crypto derivatives exchange BitMEX — withdrew significant sums of money once they learned about investigations and pending charges from U.S. regulators and law enforcement.
CEO BitMEX Arthur Hayes
“While being keenly aware of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and Department of Justice (“DOJ”) investigations and imminently forthcoming civil and criminal charges, and while preparing to go on a lam from the U.S. authorities, Defendants Hayes, Delo and Reed looted about $440,308,400 of proceeds of various nefarious activities that took place on the BitMEX platform from Defendant HDR accounts,” the suit alleges.
“These fraudulent distributions of proceeds of illegal acts were made on the following dates, which are after Defendants learned about the Government investigations and after receiving a draft complaint in this action in 2019: October 15, 2019, November 19, 2019 and January 2020,” the filing went on to allege, referring to the transactions as “profit distributions.”
A spokesperson for HDR Global Trading Limited denied the claims, saying: “Pavel Pogodin of “Consensus Law” has filed a series of increasingly spurious claims against us, and others in the cryptocurrency sector. We will deal with this through the normal litigation process and remain entirely confident the courts will see his claims for what they are.”
On Oct. 1, U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Department of Justice both announced charges against BitMEX. Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo and Samuel Reed were indicted in New York, where federal prosecutors claim the digital-asset exchange served American customers while flouting U.S. banking laws. CEO Hayes said the exchange was incorporated in the Seychelles because they could bribe authorities there for the cost of “just a coconut.”
Read the full court filing below:
- Users Must Now Be Fully Verified By 5 November To Continue Trading On The BitMEX Platform
- BitMEX CTO Samuel Reed Has Been Released On A $5 Million Appearance Bond
The post BitMEX scandal: Arthur Hayes, Delo and Reed looted more than $440m, the new suit alleges appeared first on AZCoin News.

An unpopular "garden-grabbing" scheme in Solihull has been approved, after developers lodged a successful appeal against the council's decision to throw out the proposals.
Plans to build three detached homes in Grange Road, Olton, had previously been rejected by the planning committee, amid objections from neighbours about the loss of "valuable" green space.
In recent weeks, local residents had been preparing for a revised application to be brought before councillors and had hoped to see off the development a second time.
So they were dismayed by news that the original version of the scheme, rejected back in November, had been given the green light by the Planning Inspectorate.
Overturning last year's decision, the inspector, John Spurling, argued the plans would not have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
In a written decision, published last week, he said: "While the development would constitute backland development, this would not be dissimilar to the immediate development to the west of the appeal site and would therefore not be out of character with the surrounding development."
At November's decision session, councillors had raised concerns that the homes were simply too big for the location and also discussed fears that the properties would add to existing congestion.
Speaking at the time, Cllr Glenis Slater (Lib Dem, Elmdon) said: "This will only increase the amount of traffic.
"I'm very, very wary that this is too big a [set of] houses for the amount of space they're going into."
A fresh application for the site had been submitted in February and was working its way through the planning process; it was originally down for consideration last month, but was eventually deferred.
Speaking to the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) earlier this year, Neeta Solanki, who lives nearby, argued the revised scheme would still mean "a massive invasion of privacy" in nearby St Francis Avenue and Doveridge Close.


Well i am pretty pleased with both GoRuck and SOE…
First GoRuck…i have wanted their GR-1 Shooter bag for a while and when i was finally ready to place my order, i was sad to see that it was being discontinued but glad that they still had some in stock and at a substantial discount!
It is of course a beautiful piece of kit
Since GoRuck also discontinued the velcro inserts for their bag, i ordered a bunch of stuff from SOE (and let’s face it, SOE is cooler anyway lol)….it took TWO MONTHS for my SOE package to arrive…i dont know if it is because of the delay or the fact that i placed my order on a holiday but SOE sent me TWO free bags!
In terms of inserts, i ordered the universal pistol holster
two pistol mag carrier
two AR mag carrier
Tool bag organizer
mesh inner pocket
<img src=“http://www.fototime.com/32F75C8D7652A8B/large.jpg”““““““““““““““““ alt=““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““
to give you an idea of the inserts mounted in the GoRuck Shooter pack
i also ordered some gear for my person lol..including a riggers belt with toxic green threading (and velcro lining)
a classic SOE wallet
key silencer with HK clip and belt loop
and they sent me this tool bag with glittery USA flag interior…for free!
and this bag…also free!
I am impressed!
As you may have seen in my previous review or recent article in High Capacity magazine, I am happy to own a John Wick 2 gun, a Taran Tactical John Wick Combat Master Package G34.
As much as I love that gun, I have always been a 1911 fan and STI is one of my favourite makes so I was pretty thrilled when they released the JW3 gun at SHOT show 2019 and now, thanks to Freedom Ventures and Bulls Eye London, I have my grail gun!
Specs on the gun (per Taran’s website)
5.4 Inch Match Grade Bull Barrel
FDE/Bronze BLC coated Barrel
Combat Master Slide Cuts
Extreme Engineering Fire Control Group
Fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear sight
New Extended Slide Release
New extended Mag release
1.75-2.5 LBS trigger pull
Stainless Steel Guide Rod
Tactical STI magazine
Four 22 round magazines with Taran Tactical baseplates
Compared to the JW2 gun
I went from the store straight to the range…I tried both 9mm and 9mm MAJOR and had absolutely no issues with the 100+ rounds I put through it. As you would expect from an STI, it shoots like a dream! What surprised me the most was how it tamed the 9mm MAJOR…I was expecting it to have a much bigger kick than it did.
My buddy liked it as well
And now for some detail shots
So I am super pleased with my purchase! Having shot it side by side with the G34 it is hard to pick a single winner…I like both! And thanks again to Bulls Eye.
Next stop, Taran Tactical JW3 Benelli M2!

I think most fever medicine like Tylenol says if a fever hasn't broken after 24 hours to see a doctor. With my first daughter the mistake I made was I wasn't giving her enough medicine so her fever wasn't breaking. When I took her to the ER they showed me how much to give her. I felt so terrible! BTW- If the fever hasn't broken after 24 hours, take her to an urgent care facility, they're cheaper than the ER.

Kurt Vile is a guitarist and songwriter from Philadelphia who makes music steeped in folk, psychedelia, Americana, and classic rock. Vile first gained notice in 2008, with the release of the underground Constant Hitmaker, and through his guitar-playing in the band The War on Drugs. In 2009, he signed with Matador Records, who released his second album, Childish Prodigy.
Interview: 29 September 2009
Is it true you're one of ten children?
Was it a musical family?
“My dad was always playing records. He was a bluegrass aficionado, so it was a lot of country music. When I was 14, he bought me a banjo, which I kind of wished was a guitar. So I’d kind of just play it like a guitar anyway. I was really into writing pretty primitive tunes, and really into recording. I pretty much knew I was going to do music [with my life] then.”
What kind of tunes were you writing? Similar to what you do now?
“They were kind of quirky, weird; a little more juvenile than they are now. I was really into Beck and Pavement, as well as classic things like Credence Clearwater Revival. But still pretty similar to what I’m doing. I just always, I guess, was able to tap into writing these songs that people liked. In my circle of friends who liked music, I could write the songs that people would love. I could always make myself the star of the coffee house.”
Were you trading lo-fi tapes for years before people started to know who you were?
“Yeah, I was 17 I made my first tape that I mass-produced, that I sent out. At the time I was into all those Drag City bands —the Silver Jews and Smog— and I really thought I could be on Drag City. I really wanted that. I heard these people that made good music but it was still pretty raw, and had this real cult quality. I was attracted to that. I mean, at the time I really loved Pavement, but I couldn’t imagine myself being on Matador.”
Does it feel strange that now you are on Matador?
“It doesn’t feel strange, it feels awesome! I had been working at something like this for so long, waiting for it to happen. Once I was shopping around Childish Prodigy in particular, something really felt imminent. I think it’s crazy, but, if you’re obsessive enough, you can follow as your hero’s footsteps.”
Has your career thus far been a lot of unnoticed hard work?
“It still is hard work! It’s a joy to be able to make a living from music; that part is really rewarding. The recording process or playing live isn’t hard, either, but there’s all this other stuff outside of that. Business. Tons of business. You’ve just gotta keep working hard. Booking shows, making album art, mastering, shopping it around, anything. And everything.”
Do you have to work harder, in this current musical climate of millions upon millions of bands, to be heard? Or has the independence of the internet and the directness of digital distribution made things easier?
“I think it’s a give and take. Yes, there are a million bands, so maybe there is great music out there that someone is making and they just can’t figure out how they’ll ever get heard. Because of that, you have to bust your ass, play live all the time, just keep trying to meet people. I definitely feel like it’s different getting signed in this day and age.”
Does it mean less being signed at this point in time?
“I’d say yes, for obvious reasons. With the internet people can obviously steal your music, and so you don’t sell as many records because of that. Back in the day, that was the only way you could get it, so artists made bank pretty fast. Now, you could have a huge hit record, but it may not ever be a gold record. I don’t think that getting signed means less in terms of the music itself. I think people who’re true music aficionados still appreciate a record label, and what that may mean.”
So does being signed to Matador, then, not mean as much as it once may have?
“To me, and to people I know in my hometown, I think it means a lot. People are psyched everywhere I go. I feel like it’s just as good now as now as it ever has been. It’s Matador!”
Does it more open doors for you in terms of playing live?
“My future is going to be on the road, yeah. Once you have a record label and a booking agent, you can just play all over the place. Which is just what I plan on doing. It’s really exciting. I’ll definitely be seeing a ton more places this year.”
Do you ever tour just by yourself? One man and his guitar?
“I went solo on this West Coast tour I just did, because I knew it was the only way I was going to make any money. But now that the record is out, I’m going to be bringing the band with me. I prefer having the band; not because I want to rock out, there’s just more you can do with a band.”
How does The War On Drugs relate to your solo music, and vice-versa?
“The War On Drugs is Adam [Granduciel]’s band, who’s also in my band. We’re essentially best friends. He was backing me up in my band when he started working on his own music, so I thought I’d return the favor. The War On Drugs got put out on a bigger label [Secretly Canadian] first, so, in the blogosphere, some claim that The War on Drugs was my first main band. But that’s just the way it looks. I’ve made more music than Adam has, and have been doing my Kurt Vile thing for a little bit longer. And Constant Hitmaker came out around that same time. Right when that [War on Drugs] record came out, I went to Europe with them, and also opened as Kurt Vile. That was right when I decided I wanted to concentrate on doing my own thing.”
You've billed yourself as both Hitmaker and Prodigy, so you clearly don't lack confidence. Are you curious as to how the world-at-large will perceive your music?
“I know that [Childish Prodigy] is really good. I'm real proud of it. I know not everyone can like something, but I'm sure some people will definitely be excited about it. I know that in the blog world people will put down something, talk s**t about something. I’m not too into the idea that people will maybe look at a Youtube thing, some home video of a show that wasn’t probably your best performance. But, I’m just excited about this record, about being on Matador, about being able to play so many shows. I don’t see how, from my end, this won’t all be convincing. I hope a ton of people just love it.”

DAMMAM: The Labor Ministry announced on Saturday that private companies in the green and premium categories — the companies who are abiding by Saudization rules or who have exceptional track records in this regard — would enjoy a lot of benefits and incentives from Sept. 10 for their efforts in employing more Saudis.
It said companies would be able to know their position by visiting the ministry’s website www.mol.gov.sa
musicman The illiterate of the future will not be the person who cannot read. It will be the person who does not know how to learn. [Alvin Toffler]
The company I work for is regularly nailed by the Ministry of Labor for its non-compliance to saudization ratios (10% in our case). We already experience many problems/delays with renewal of Iqamas for expats.
Turn out mine is red too ,the company gave us legal papers to sign , in order to preserve it's secrets and never leave without their permission i dont see the saudi government retracting on this , this is gonna hit the economy so hard, as from now on , people should stop investing money .
Dependents and domestic expat labor do not come under this scheme and will be NO color indicated when the Iqama number is tested on the website.
I still cant understand why mine is not showing any color since my sponsor is a registered consulting company with just me and my Saudi sponsor only (2 employees) which makes us 50% Saudi compliant.
have i said this before? hmm maybe not here (but on facebook)...i heard from a govt source that everyone's status is red until they review your company...they haven't scanned all companies yet...so you have to wait

A group of local veterans looked on as a man pleaded not guilty to charges of stealing the $36,000 grave marker of a veteran from a Youngstown cemetery.
Richard Couturiaux, 30, of Hubbard, pleaded not guilty to theft charges Thursday in front of Trumbull County Judge Ronald Rice. Judge Rice raised Couturiax’s bond from $82,000 to $250,000.
Couturiaux is charged with stealing a four-foot statue from the Mahoning Valley Memorial Park on Youngstown Hubbard Road in April. Police recovered parts of the statue from scrap yards in Girard and Warren.
Jim Campbell of American Legion Post 700 in Howland said a veteran’s grave is not to be disturbed.
“When we lay our eternal to rest, that is sacred and hollow ground and we expect to be preserved in that fashion,” said Campbell. “We are looking at the future of what the laws are today and what’s in the books and possibly trying to change those laws to make it a little harsher so we have a deterrent.
An arrest warrant has been issued for the second suspect in the case. Michael Cryster, 27, of Masury, did not show up for Thursday’s arraignment.

D.C. is in the midst of a Subway explosion, of the deli counter variety. There are already some 70 locations in the District, and 1,100 in the Washington area; now the company wants to add 100 more by the end of next year. And that’s just one piece of the overall picture: Subway has nearly 34,000 locations worldwide, recently outstripping MacDonalds to become the biggest franchiser on the planet.
Why is the model so successful? According to John Filipiak, Subway’s regional manager for D.C. and Virginia who spoke at a recent Washington D.C. Economic Partnership event on franchising, a few reasons. First, there’s no cooking involved, which means stores have fewer restrictions on the types of spaces they can occupy. Second, their staffing requirements are lower; an owner-operator can be the only person in the shop at low-traffic periods. Third, they pitch themselves as being a healthier alternative to other fast-food chains, going into places that don’t have many options for fresh food. Fourth, there’s a very simple formula to opening a franchise: You essentially buy a kit from Subway for $15,000, which goes down to $7,500 for the second store you open. They train you, help you find a space to lease and design the store, and then basically check out. As long as you keep paying eight percent of your profits weekly, you’re good to go.
Subway itself owns no stores, which many chains still do. Opening franchises has been a leg up for thousands of would-be businessowners who don’t have the vision for their own restaurant concepts and want the unbeatable advantage of international purchasing power for all their supplies. As long as you pick a decent location, and keep the place clean and friendly, there’s basically no way to fail.
Most neighborhoods, though, wouldn’t put Subways high on their list of desired eating establishments. Not that there’s anything wrong with them—it’s just that there’s nothing particularly exciting about them either.
What people do ask for is hardware stores, like the indie-feeling Logan Hardware on P Street NW. Except that’s a franchise too: Licensed by ACE Hardware, but not required to display corporate signage (technically it’s a cooperative, with a yearly dividend and stock when you sell a location). In fact, its owner, Gina Schaefer, owns a total of seven ACE hardware stores in or near D.C., all bearing the names of the neighborhoods they’re in. Even though she says the average small hardware store loses about 30 percent of its revenue when a big box opens nearby, ACE stores are better able to weather it, because of their purchasing agreements with big manufacturers.
All of this is worth thinking about more seriously as D.C. contemplates the prospect of having four Walmarts plop down within in the city limits in the next two years. You need local businesses in the best possible position to withstand the global purchasing power of the biggest retailer in the world, and having several locations is one of the best ways to do that.
Today, Richard Layman alerts us to the existence of a “best chains on Main” contest, which highlights some of the multi-store companies that have enriched local economies. D.C. already has a few homegrown versions: Busboys and Poets, Yes! Organic Market, Marvelous Markets, Cafe Phillips, Senor Chicken, Sweetgreen, Mayorga Coffee, the Uptowner Cafe, Taylor Gourmet and CityBikes off the top of my head. Then there are the groups of restaurants owned by the same person, like the Jose Andres cluster, Constantine Stavropolous‘ Diner/Open City/Tryst triumvirate, and Aleks Duni‘s Marx Cafe/Heller’s Bakery/Verandah collection. It’s true, most of these are food chains, rather than services—but couldn’t independent dry cleaners, stationers, bookshops, and clothing stores be encouraged as well?
Sometimes, the best defense against big things is small things getting bigger.

ARIES Documents -- Meetings ArchiveARIES Conference Call, 28 July 2009
Documented by L. Waganer
Les Waganer affirmed that the next ARIES project meeting will be held at Georgia Technology, Atlanta, GA, on August 26th (all day) and the morning of August 27th. Minami Yoda has a meeting room reserved in the University. Minami Yoda has spoken with the GT Hotel and most of the attendees have registered. She has contacted a near-by restaurant for dinner arrangements on the evening of 26 August. Last week, Mark Tillack initiated discussion on the agenda and Les Waganer will send out the draft agenda next week. Mark suggested a short discussion of each ARIES group FY2010-2012 proposed technical efforts. Mark offered to put the draft proposal on the web site.
ARIES Technical Efforts
Minami Yoda said the GT team is continuing to model and test the modified configurations of the pin-fin divertor concept shown at the April meeting. She will report the findings at the August meeting.
Xueren Wang noted he has been continuing to develop and analyze the integrated plate and fin divertor design to handle a range of heat and particle fluxes up to 10 MW/m2. Two new improvements are the use of a double-walled containment arrangement for the divertor to help contain the high-pressure helium coolant and a transition zone between the high-temperature tungsten structure and the lower-temperature structure and plumbing. He is also designing and analyzing two approaches, one is combination design of fingers and plates and a second design of all fingers.
Siegfried Malang said that Xueren had covered what he and Xueren have been working on.
Les Waganer mentioned he had been working on completing the costing documentation. He has also has developing an Excel spreadsheet to incorporate many of the new costing algorithms and compare their results to the published results of ARIES-AT, both in 2009$.
Dale Meade said he did not have anything to mention, but said he would be interested in hearing from Laila El-Guebaly about the IAEA Technical Committee Meeting on 1st Generation Fusion Power Plants, especially the session on “What would you do with unlimited funding?”

Tom Isakeit, Texas A&M University Research and Extension Center plant pathologist, covers a lot of ground searching for signs of soybean rust — after all, Texas is a big state — and he has the stories to match.
While a separate team monitors the Texas High Plains area, Isakeit is responsible for the rest of the state. In order to cover from the southernmost portion of Texas all the way up to the Oklahoma and Arkansas borders in the course of a year, he has to fly to some of his scouting sites, visiting them just once each season. Nearly 95 percent of the state’s rust findings in kudzu have been in eastern part of the state, east of Interstate 45 and north on Interstate 10, and although rural, there isn’t all that much row crop agriculture in the area.
However, he has taken a lot of ribbing from other plant pathologists after finding pornographic materials in protected kudzu under bridges. According to Tom Allen, Mississippi State University Extension plant pathologist, “it’s a running joke that he goes out there and finds all these empty pornographic DVD cases. He’ll send an e-mail with something like ‘no rust and no porn this time.’ It’s pretty funny.”
Isakeit tells that story and others in a chat with CropLife.
• “There are a couple of sites in east Texas with rust — most of them are the porno sites. The porno mag under the bridge is doing well, but the kudzu there has died back. So I don’t think I’ll be out there until the spring when the kudzu comes out again.
For the longest period of time, there was a mattress there, too. But someone removed it. Was it worth removing? Probably not, but it was under a bridge, so that helps to preserve it. I expect that that magazine is going to last decades. But I’ve also noted that at one of my sites, there was a person living under the bridge. I suppose that’s not too surprising in some of the urban areas as well.”
• “Where kudzu grows, people tend to dump their trash there. And kudzu covers it, except of course when it dies back.
You have to be careful walking through a kudzu patch. But I’m used to that — I work with watermelons, where if you don’t walk right through the vines, you might step on a fruit and slip on it. And of course, the growers always warn me about snakes. And they’ll wear tall leather boots or they’ll carry sticks ahead of them, but I think I’m noisy enough that I don’t end up surprising anything. There was once a big rattlesnake in my watermelon plot, but I don’t think it bothered me any or vice versa. But the kudzu, well, you have to be concerned about holes because it does cover up holes.”
• “In one spot, the kudzu is growing on a ravine and the people that own the property did warn me that it’s kinda risky there. I agree with that and I really don’t go down very far, I find it’s not really necessary. You can probably do a good job surveying the outer portions of it and detecting it.”
• “One interesting aspect of my own travels is that I check out what are probably the southernmost commercial soybean fields in the continental U.S. These fields are southeast of Brownsville, near the airport.
I see a lot of traffic from the Border Patrol, but they don’t interfere with me. I’ve not seen anyone sneak across, either, although the grower I work with said he encountered a Brazilian mother and daughter that were abandoned on his land by a coyote. When I walk around there, I do lock my truck. I don’t hang out here at night, either. The danger comes from the drug smugglers, rather than the illegal immigrants.
• “I’ve never really been questioned when I go into a soybean field. I have a state vehicle. So far, and this is the extrapolating back to the whole experience, the fact is I’ve been here 15 years, I will trespass on a regular basis into grower’s fields. When they confront me, what they usually say is ‘Can I help you?’ They’re not hostile; I’ve never gotten any adverse reaction from them. They say people here are friendly and I say to some extent, that’s true. Of course, on the flip side of that, I’m not in any fields where you could take anything of value, like watermelon fields or vegetables where might be a different reaction. Those growers might think, oh, you’re poaching. But going into a cotton field or a soybean field, that’s not a big deal. Those growers are just kinda curious, that’s the extent of that.”

The New York Democrat donated $5,850 to RAINN, which matches the money Trump donated in 2007 and 2010 to her campaign, her spokesman Glen Caplin confirmed Friday.
Gillibrand spokesman Glen Caplin defended Gillibrand's request. The delay showed the Department of Defense "did not want to cooperate," Caplin said.
“It was a social call to welcome her to D.C. and try to find ways to work together in the new Congress,’’ Gillibrand’s spokesman Glen Caplin said in an email.

The panoramic format has become very popular. Let’s take a look at some reasons why a photographer would want or need to make a panoramic image.
You confront a sprawling scene and every aspect intrigues you. The problem is the upper and lower portions lack the dynamic qualities of the central part. Pano to the rescue.
You left your wide-angle lens in your car and it’s two miles back in the parking lot. The light that illuminates the entire mountain range evolved into something special and all you have is your medium telephoto and superzoom. Pano to the rescue.
You left your wide-angle lens in the photo closet thinking you were going to exclusively make wildlife images. You encounter a long ribbon waterfall, but your widest focal length doesn’t allow you to make the full vertical capture. Pano to the rescue.
You need to print a huge file of a 2×3 aspect ratio. You were commissioned to make a 60×90-inch print to appear in the rotunda of the new office building. You realize you grabbed the wrong camera. You took the crop sensor body instead of the 50-megapixel full-frame body you intended to pack. Pano to the rescue.
You need to make a super long and skinny print to hang as a banner over an archway to commemorate a wedding, the return of a veteran from overseas, a retirement party, etc. Pano to the rescue.
As you can see, the panoramic format can come in very handy. Therefore, knowing how to create a well thought out file is imperative. Let’s dive into the how-to aspects so the next time you encounter one of the above scenarios, you’re ready to rock and roll.
Make a Garbage Shot: Whenever I create a series of images to stitch, create an HDR photo or know I’ll perform definitive post-processing techniques, I shoot an out-of-focus garbage shot before I start the series of images and directly after I finish. The garbage shot is my signal to not delete a deliberate over or underexposed file or a file that has a funky composition because it’s the end piece of a pano.
Filters: The only filter I use is a clear or UV, and I avoid shooting straight into the sun as it increases the possibility of producing flare. Although I often use a polarizer when I make landscapes and sometimes use a graduated filter for color or neutral density, I remove both when I make a pano. A graduated filter can be used as long as the vertical subjects in the image don’t have a lot of variation. I never use a polarizer if I include any sky. A polarizer has its greatest effect when aimed 90 degrees to the sun. As you deviate from this point, the effect is lessened. If a large expanse of the sky is included, it will create sky blending nightmares and you’ll wind up with a huge variation of sky-blue density that looks extremely unnatural. This being said, I did use a polarizer to make the vertical pano of the waterfall. It removed the glare and reflection of the sky on the wet rocks and moss.
Vertical vs. Horizontal Capture: It’s not uncommon to use a horizontal format to capture individual files that comprise the end result, but the standard practice is to hold the camera vertically. Vertical captures take in more head and foot room from which to crop and they provide less distortion. Conversely, if the end result is a long vertical, as in the image of the waterfall, use a horizontal format to stitch the pieces together.
Shoot in Manual Exposure: Depending on the ratio of highlights to shadows of each section that constitutes the final image, as you pan from left to right or top to bottom, the likelihood of exposure variations is high. This is especially true if there are deep shadows and silhouettes along with bright highlights that live in the scene. Meter the portion with the brightest highlights that need to maintain detail in manual mode and use this as your base exposure for the entire series. If needed, make a bracketed series of each section.
Level the Camera and Tripod: I sometimes handhold the series, but I much prefer to use a tripod. If forced to handhold the camera, it’s imperative the software can handle off-axis variations. Before mounting the camera to the tripod, be sure the legs are leveled. Many tripods have bubble levels near the top. Get the bubble to float in the middle of the circle on the level. Once the tripod is leveled, level the camera. Newer cameras have built-in levels. On my Nikon, I activate the Virtual Horizon feature.
White Balance: I normally use Auto, but I know a lot of other photographers use a preset such as cloudy or daylight or set the color temperature manually. This ensures all files have the same color balance. If Auto does produce a slight variation, in that I always shoot in RAW, I calibrate each section in post-processing.
Be Wind Weary: You travel a thousand miles to make images of fall color. You see a perfect setup for a pano and the wind begins to blow. Wait for lulls so the blending of adjacent images is consistent. If you intend to go for a wind-blown effect, be sure the wind blows for every capture.
Don’t Use A Super Wide: Short telephotos and medium wides tend to be your best choice. They eliminate the potential of wide-angle distortion.
Avoid Scenes Where Objects Are Moving: The software that’s available today performs admirably but may have issues with overlapping pieces where subject A exists if it doesn’t exist in the adjacent section. This being said, experiment. In the image of the snow geese, I got lucky and everything stitched perfectly. If it doesn’t, use the clone stamp to get rid of anomalies that look out of place.
Be Consistent: Use the same aperture to capture all pieces of the pano. Be sure the focus point is set to a spot where depth of field remains the same in all the files. Use a cable release—if one piece of the pano is soft, the image is ruined.
Overlap: Overlap adjacent images by at least 30 percent. Some photographers go as much as 50 percent. Anything less than 30 is playing with fire regarding accurate matches of adjacent files.
Avoid Strong Foregrounds: Foreground objects become distorted when incorporated into a panorama. It’s best to avoid them.
There are numerous benefits to making panoramas. Stitching multiple pictures together produces large files. The resulting photo can be enlarged to huge print sizes. Detail will be maintained throughout the image. If you use a DX body and need to create large files, capture sections as if you plan to make a panorama. The final photo will have more pixels than if you captured the scene with a full-frame sensor. Another benefit is that some subjects simply cry out to be captured with an aspect ratio suitable for a panorama. Anytime you view a scene that doesn’t conform to conventional aspect ratios, make a series of images and stitch them together. Pano to the rescue.

The 2020 edition of the UEFA Euro, has presented us with good players with different style of play and we have also seen the best goals scored so far in the competition. With some nations already facing elimination in the Euro, below is a list containing players who are of African origin in the Euro.
Kai Havertz and Kylian Mbappe are both skilled players that roll in different ways in their style of play, tactical delivery, and goal conversion in every game played. Kai Havertz is a promising and tactically gifted youngster for Chelsea that is fluid in playing as an attacking midfielder or a striker.
France faced Hungary in their second EUROS fixture, both teams needed a win to keep them in the competition Hungary needed all three points to give them few hopes of reaching the knock out stages. Following the match up, Chelsea fans came out to applaud their star player after having an impressive performance in today's match.
Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe are arguably the most complete youngsters in the footballing world today. Most football fans and sports pundits believe that they are the future of football. Mbappe is very fast, tricky and deadly with the ball, while Haaland is clever, strong and efficient.
Opinion: Madrid trying to Sign Mbappe has made them become ignorant to other key players at the Club
Dream of everyone related to Real Madrid is to see Kylian Mbappe wear the Real Madrid jersey since Ronaldo's departure is something we are all aware of. The thirsts and trying to go extra mile for his signing has made the club become ignorant to other key players at the club .
The Golden boy award is the award given to the best young players. All nominees must be under the age of 21 and play in a European nation's top tier. The first player to win the award was Rafael Van der Vaart. In 2016 Renato Sanches won the Golden boy award after a wonderful season with Benfica.
Some fans have blamed French winger Kylian Mbappe for their 1-1 draw against Hungary in the Euro 2020 tournament. The talking point of the game came in the 81st minute when Mbappe had the option to pass the ball to Giroud for an easy tap-in but he opted to shoot from a more difficult angle to the post.
Yesterday, news spread that football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has hit 300 million followers on Instagram. The Portuguese star became the first person to ever hit that milestone on the popular social network. Amongst all the records that Cristiano Ronaldo has created for himself in the football world, this might be the least important but it's still impressive.
France and Germany are among the most successful national teams. The two teams have won different trophies including the FIFA World Cup. France and Germany have some of the most valuable players in the world. Their squads boast of both experienced and young players. Kylian Mbappe is one of the most valuable young players in the world.
The World Champions France would be aiming to get their second consecutive victory in the Euro tournament when they travel away to face Hungary at the Budapest Arena. The World Champions France would be hoping to get all the maximum three points in order to confirm their places in the next round of the competition.
Lionel Messi did not extend his contract with Barcelona prior to the Copa America. Top European clubs such as PSG and Manchester United are all waiting to see if the Argentine talisman will extend his contract with Barcelona. However, if Paris Saint-Germain signs Lionel Messi, the club will have one of the best attacking trio in Europe's top five leagues.
The Euros 2020 tournament have already started and there have been many entertaining games already. The Euros is a tournament that is being played every four years, it was supposed to be played last year but it was halted because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Here we are going to be looking at the most players to attend the Euros from their respective leagues.
We frequently see a player participate for the first time at the start of each new event. This is actually a good thing because seeing the same old faces all the time can get a little tedious. Thankfully, we will have the opportunity to see some crucial players (mainly youth) compete in a European tournament for the first time in Euro 2020.
Some teams have won in the first round of the Euro 2020. There are also some teams that are currently struggling in the Euro. Turkey, Poland, Denmark, Germany, Russia, Wales, Croatia have been defeated in the Euro 2020. Other teams including Belgium, Italy, France, Spain, England have not been defeated in the Euro.
The Germany vs France match yesterday was a match full of much drama. Kylian Mbappe scored twice and was denied, Benjamin Pavard was challenged in a very dangerous postion in mid-air and the only goal of the match was a Matt Hummels own goal. That proved to be the goal that settled the game.
Before the start of the ongoing Euro 2020 tournament, one of the most talked about topics relating to the tournament was how will the use of VAR affect the tournament, well so far so good the technology has been deployed very efficiently in the tournament. The latest game in the tournament between France and Germany saw VAR come into play a couple of times, it was used to determine if Mbappe and Benzema were offside after they both scored in the game, the VAR review was done with accurate speed and precision.
World Champions France were held to a 1:1 draw by Hungary. It was an action filled encounter at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, when a resilient Hungarian Team led by the Italian tactician Marco Rossi held one of the tournaments favorite to a 1:1 draw The French team started on the front foot, with series of attack aimed at breaking down a Hungarian side who made it difficult for Didier Deschamp’s side all through the encounter.
At this point of the Euro 2020 tournament, many will be expecting Poland's Lewandowski, Kylian Mbappe of France and the host of other deadly Strikers to be on top of the Golden Boot Race of the tournament but the story differs as 2 Italians are sitting firm on top of the log after their victory against Switzerland.
Not content with winning the 2018 World Cup on home soil, Didier Deschamps’ France side are set to be crowned European Champions next month, when they win the Euro 2020 final. That is according to Casumo. The bookmaker used a supercomputer to predict the tournament’s winner, top goalscorer and Team of the Tournament among other variables.
Euro 2020 promises to be a spectacular tournament as some of the best teams in world will play against each other. Lifting the trophy and winning the golden boot will be the aim of some attacking players, which brings the question who is going to lift the Golden boot?

The language we use in our home reminds us that we are creating a human habitat full of living and growing things. Check out some of our unique terminology below.
We believe that relationships are the essence of a strong culture. To develop this core concept, our home consists of twelve separate families, each with Elders and care partners. Our families at Rolling Fields are Angelwings, Asters, Beech, Buttercups, Cherry Blossom, Crab Apples, Daffodils, Daisy, Edelweiss, Emerald Ivy, Forsythia, and Foxgloves.
We use the word “Elder” to describe the people living in our home. We respect and honor the Elders for their knowledge and wisdom. In traditional cultures, an Elder’s position is honored, cherished, and influential within the community.
All staff members are “care partners.” Regardless of your certification or licensure, a job may include performing any number of chores from housekeeping, to making beds, taking food orders, and assisting Elders in dining.
As Elders make Rolling Fields their home, they reside on a “street,” rather than a unit or hall.
When we discuss “neighborhoods,” it refers to the combination of two adjacent streets or four families sharing a common area.

What can be said on a day like today? Should we say something positive and uplifting, or solemn and reflective? What is the right tone, the right phrase, the right amount of tact? The answers are as diverse as the people who lost their lives on 9/11/01.
It is impossible to remove the grief, reflect on memories that were never made, promises that were broken because of fate……or should I say hate? The only way that we can determine that now is different is by asking the question, am I a better person than I was 10 years ago? Because only by being a better person, can you make this a better world. Are you more generous, more empathic, and more willing to help someone who is not as fortunate? You can point the finger all you want at another country, a different religion or a hostile neighbor. If we do not accept ourselves and our fellow man’s right to live a free and peaceful life, then the terrorists have won.
9/11 did not happen because we are different from the rest, it happened because people are intolerant of each other. Staring in the face of the 10th anniversary of the most publicized and profitable mass murder in the history of the world, one question remains. Am I better than I was 10 years ago? Only you can look in the mirror and answer that question.

The Changing Life Center (CLC) is a secure campus for troubled young women and children to start life over again by participating in a Christian based recovery program for 12 to 18 months.
On August 17 Sunday service on our Moments for Missions part of the service, Edna Deford showed a DVD recorded by Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child media team showing many young women from CLC making crafts and filling shoe boxes to be sent overseas to needy and underprivileged children. They have a goal this year to send 1000 shoe boxes and already have 700 packed. What a wonderful example of Christian charity that young mothers in need are sending Christmas shoe boxes overseas to children in need. Two ladies, Diana and Blake, who are graduates from the CLC addiction program were present and available to share their experiences with the congregation after the service. The Mission Committee has committed $1000 towards this project.
Also at our Moments for Missions part of the service, Bruce Sharp presented Mark Tullis (Officer of Phoenix Rescue Mission) a $5000 check on behalf of the PebbleCreek Community Church which will completely furnish one apartment.
The CLC was opened three years ago and they have been furnishing more apartments as funding allows. This new apartment will allow another mother and her children or three adult women to come into the program. God is good!


(Reuters) – One of two white police officers who rode through the streets of Galveston, Texas, on horseback escorting a black man walking tethered to a rope is heard saying: “This is going to look really bad” in newly released police video footage of the incident.
Galveston police officer Amanda Smith secures Donald Neely with a rope after she and officer Patrick Brosch arrested the homeless man for criminal trespass in Galveston, Texas, U.S. August 3, 2019, in a still image from video released October 2, 2019. Galveston Police Department/Handout via REUTERS
The spectacle was caught on body cameras worn by the two officers during their Aug. 3 trespassing arrest of Donald Neely, who family lawyers have said is known to city police as someone who suffers from mental illness and regularly sleeps on the streets.
A still photo of the arrest captured by an onlooker and posted on social media went viral, prompting a public outcry.
The bodycam videos, publicly released on Wednesday, shed additional light on the two officers’ encounter with Neely as they took in him into custody using a procedure that mounted police in their department were trained to employ when no transport vehicle was available.
At one point, officer Amanda Smith, seen leading Neely on a blue nylon rope she has fastened to his handcuffs, cautions him to “stop” at an intersection and to “stay next to me, because I’m gonna drag you if not.”
Her patrol partner, Patrick Brosch, at least twice voices discomfort at the appearance of what they are doing, saying at the outset: “This is going to look really bad.”
When Brosch reiterates how the scene will “look so bad,” Neely is heard responding, “I’m not embarrassed,” to which Brosch replies: “I’m glad you’re not embarrassed, Mr. Neely.”
Neely, forced to trudge several blocks between the horses with his hands cuffed behind him, was eventually handed over to another officer with a patrol car at an outdoor staging area.
Brosch and Smith have been placed on “modified duty” pending Galveston Police Chief Vernon Hale’s review of a report on the incident submitted by the county sheriff earlier this week, city spokeswoman Marissa Barnett told Reuters on Thursday.
A separate Texas Department of Public Safety review determined no criminal investigation of the officers was warranted. But Hale will decide whether any disciplinary or other actions should be taken, Barnett said.
Days after the incident, Hale said Brosch and Smith had used a “trained technique” in escorting Neely but exercised poor judgment in doing so and could have waited for vehicular transport to become available.
Barnett said the chief also has suspended all mounted police patrols in Galveston, a Gulf Coast island resort city and port southeast of Houston. She said the city typically uses mounted police for ceremonial events and crowd control only but was trying out horseback patrols on busy summer weekends.
Community activists and lawyers for Neely’s family have demanded decisive action to prevent a repeat of police conduct they said was an insult to the dignity of all African-Americans.
“When they dragged Donald Neely down that road by horses and rope, it was like they were dragging our entire community down the road,” Ben Crump, president of the National Civil Rights Trial Lawyers Association, said in an appearance with other supporters in August.
