CORPUS CHRISTI - Stafford Brantley’s run-scoring single in the bottom of the eighth inning led the Texas A&MCorpus Christi baseball team to a 5-4 comeback victory over Houston Baptist on Wednesday night at Chapman Field.
Brantley, Brandon Tierney and Johnathan Gonzales each had two hits in the victory for the Islanders (14-11).
Franco Pace picked up the victory out of the bullpen, and Jacob Dorris stranded the bases loaded in the top of the ninth for his fifth save of the season. Ross Kennell (2-2) took the loss for HBU (9-13-1).
With the Huskies holding a 4-3 lead heading to the bottom of the eighth, Gonzales led off the frame by ripping a double off the wall in deep right-center field. Brad Porras delivered a grounder to second, but the throw from Josh Foust sailed wide, scoring pinch runner Kyle Danford and moving Porras to third. Two batters later, Brantley ripped a single up the middle to score Porras and give the Islanders a 5-4 lead.
In the top of the ninth, Dorris retired the first two hitters, but surrendered consecutive singles and hit a batter before inducing a game-ending fly out.
Former Carroll standout O’Shea Dumes tossed four innings of one-run ball in his first college start for the Islanders.

The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted 6-5 Wednesday to add a booster dose of the meningitis vaccine at age 16. Reuters notes that health officials want to address waning immunity among older teens against the bacteria that cause meningitis. Researchers had believed the benefits of the vaccine lasted for at least 10 years, but new evidence suggests that its benefits begin to wane after five years, the LA Times reports. The CDC tends to follow the recommendations of its advisory committees.
Routine vaccination at age 11-12 years continues to be recommended with a booster dose at age 16. For adolescents who are first vaccinated between 13 and 15 years of age, a booster dose is recommended 5 years after the first dose through age 21, according to the National Meningitis Association.
The news comes after the announcement of data from a new trial of Novartis' Menveo involving more than 4,500 babies. The study found that four doses generated strong immune response against four strains of the bacteria. One month after the last dose--given at 12 months of age--the infants' immune response ranged from 94 percent to 100 percent, depending on the serotype. Perhaps as important was that it was well tolerated even when administered alongside the usual child vaccines.
Novartis intends to submit a sBLA based on these pivotal data to the FDA by the end of the year. If approved, Menveo will be the only meningococcal quadrivalent conjugate vaccine that could be administered to infants 2 months of age and older. Menveo's direct rival--the Sanofi Pasteur shot Menactra--is approved for ages 2 to 10 years.
"As the most vulnerable age group, infants should be directly protected from this unpredictable and devastating disease," says Division Head of Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics Andrin Oswald. "These data are another step in the significant progress Novartis is making toward our goal of protecting all age groups against meningococcal disease."

Pennsylvania state Sen. Daylin Leach (D), a longtime champion of marijuana legalization, went on a fact-finding trip to Colorado last month to see the state's marijuana regulatory framework firsthand. While he took in the details of Colorado's marijuana laws, he also took in some marijuana.
"I took a couple of hits. I definitely felt something," Leach told CBS's Pittsburgh affiliate about using a sample vaporizer pen he picked up on the trip. "It's less than I would have smoked when I was in high school, but I didn't want to do anything else, maybe because I'm getting older or I haven't done it for a long time and I'm a lightweight."
Leach said that while his trip was paid for with taxpayer dollars, none of those funds went toward buying or using marijuana. He intends to discuss his findings with state lawmakers and marijuana reformers in Pennsylvania.
"In Colorado, we met hardworking people doing honest labor, and happy citizens responsibly living their lives in a prosperous and healthy state," Leach wrote in an article for the York Daily Record. "The tragedy is that all of these people, every one of them would be criminals in Pennsylvania. We would arrest them, prosecute them, incarcerate some of them and ruin all of their lives. We'd kill their business and deny sick people medicine they need."
"That is the true insanity of prohibition, and the primary reason it is on its way to the ash-heap of history," he wrote.
Leach has sponsored a number of medical marijuana bills in his state, including a measure, SB 1182, that he introduced with state Sen. Mike Folmer (R) this year. The proposed law would set up a regulated system for marijuana to be grown and sold for medical purposes through dispensaries in the state. It has picked up more than a dozen co-sponsors from both sides of the aisle, a legislative aide for Leach told HuffPost in February.
Such a medical marijuana system could generate considerable revenue for the state. "Clearly it would be at least hundreds of millions of dollars in Pennsylvania saved, and hundreds of millions more brought in as revenue to help pay for things like roads and schools and bridges and a safety net and all of that," Leach told Lehigh Valley Live.
The Pennsylvania state Senate is expected to vote on Leach's medical marijuana bill in the coming weeks.
To date, 23 states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana for medical use, while Colorado and Washington state have legalized recreational marijuana. Still, the federal government continues to ban the drug, classifying it alongside heroin and LSD as having "no currently accepted medical use."

This week reading has taken a bit of a back seat as I have just started watching Game of Thrones but I did squeeze in an arc and it was from one of my favourite authors, Chantal Fernando.
Chantal has written so many fabulous reads and created some hot as hell men, umm hello Wind Dragons MC!!!!!
Chantals next book is called The List which releases on May 15th……and, incidentally, I have just finished.
So, without further ado, here is the book information and my review!
On a random night out with her girlfriends, Taye experiences something she hasn’t before.
Between vodkas and dance moves she probably shouldn’t be doing in public, never mind on a podium, she meets him.
She’s never had a one night stand before, and to have one is on her list of things to experience in her life.
Not only that, but the chemistry is off the charts.
She’s going home with this man, and she’s not going to regret it when she leaves him in the morning.
Or at least that’s what she thinks.
UK ➜ http://amzn.to/2pxrpeV
Shy, introverted girl + alcohol & dancing + her ‘list’ + a male hotty = PARTY!!!!
Taye and Eli meet in a club and experience instalust, hey a girls got to get hers so, what she thinks is going to be a one stand ensues.
But when feelings getting added into the recipe, things get hard.
This book is fantastic, emotional and hot, writing was great and I would’ve loved to see the ending strung out a bit more.

Different National Day of Prayer planned
National Day of Prayer has been observed in Somerset County for 30 years with a special ceremony on the Somerset County Courthouse steps.
This year, because of COVID-19 restrictions, the observance will be online on Zoom at noon Thursday. The program will also be on Facebook.com/somersetprayer. It will air at 8 p.m. Thursday on the Laurel Highlands news, talk, sports network: 990 AM, 1490 AM, 103.5 FM or 104.5 FM.
“The call to pray goes out to all people of all faiths,” said the Rev. Brent Williams. “Join hundreds of others who will be praying at this time against the virus and for our country.”
During the program, Gen. Larry Powell will read the proclamation. Then seven community leaders will say prayers for the seven points of prayer: 1. church; 2. government; 3. family; 4. education; 5. business; 6. military; and 7. media.
Pledges to the flags will be led. Sarah Wright will sing the national anthem and Danny Conner will sing “I Asked the Lord.” They will then divide into smaller groups of six or seven people through Zoom rooms and pray together in small groups.
“This could be larger than any other National Day of Prayer event we’ve held because of the internet,” Mary Emert, who started the National Day of Prayer meetings along with Asenath Sipe 30 years ago, said.
There is a link on the Facebook page that will go to the Zoom meeting, or watch live from that page. To join the prayer meeting on a computer, iPad or smartphone, download the Zoom app. Click on “join a meeting.” The meeting ID number is 827 5680 0154. The password is “prayer. Type your name in the place provided. Participants will need to allow video and audio on their device.
To hear the program on a regular phone, it will be long-distance. Dial 1-929-205-6099 U.S. (New York). On your phone it will ask for the meeting ID: 827 5680 0154 #. Then for the phone only, use the password: 981230#.
Emert said the committee has received permission from the county commissioners to hold a prayer day on the courthouse steps later this summer. The date has not been set.
“This is the time when we need to pray the most,” Williams said. “We are in a national crisis. Let’s join together and pray, for when we work, we work, but when we pray, God works.”

What’s better comfort food than chicken pot pie? It’s not fancy, it’s not gourmet. (Though it can be, I’m sure.) But it’s entirely satisfying. And when I make it, it couldn’t be easier. (See recipe below.)
I’m picky about my chicken pot pie, especially the crust on top. Because of my bread issue, I don’t love Bisquick. And so many people make a Bisquick crust for their pot pie. A pie crust is okay, though even that can sometimes be too “bready” for me. (I’ve been known to eat the filling out of pies with a regular pie crust and leave the crust. I’m supremely partial to a pie with a graham crack crust!) My sister-in-law was the first to introduce me to a cornbread topping for the crust on a pot pie, which I’m forever grateful for. Cornbread does not fall under the category of “bread” for me, as it is entirely different in taste & texture. And as far as cornbreads go, I love the sweet kind, like Famous Dave’s corn muffins. Yum.
My chicken pot pie, however, has a ‘flaky layers’ biscuit topping. I like these biscuits over buttermilk, which have a much more “bready” texture. I got my recipe from a friend we met in Cincinnati. (Thank you, Janice!! You don’t know how many compliments I’ve gotten and it’s all thanks to you!) It’s incredibly unhealthy but so creamy. My brother probably wouldn’t like it, since it so saucy. Almost like a chicken & biscuits rather than a chicken pot pie, but that’s what the recipe says, so I’ll keep calling it that. But almost everyone else loves it. And I will share the recipe with you, since it was so kindly shared with me! I have altered it a bit to make it my own, and I will also note that I’ve tried to use lower fat ingredient options before and the texture comes out less creamy and more grainy. (Sorry for the Weight Watchers folks!)
Cari’s Chicken Pot Pie
2-4 chicken breasts, cubed
¼ C margarine or butter
Minced onion to taste (I often use minced onion flakes, probably about 2 T)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
16 oz. sour cream
3 drops Tabasco sauce
Frozen mixed veggies (2-4 cups, depending on how many people you’re serving & how
thick you want your sauce)
1-2 tubes Pillsbury Flaky Layers biscuits (come in a 4-pack)
Parsley flakes, optional
Melt the butter/marg. in a large skillet on the stove. Add the chicken & minced onions. Stir & cook until chicken is no longer pink. Add soup, sour cream & Tabasco; mix well. Steam mixed veggies in microwave until tender (approximately 8 minutes). Stir veggies into mixture in skillet. When mixture is hot, pour into a 9x13 pan. Separate biscuits and spread on top of mixture. Sprinkle parsley flakes on top of biscuits as desired. Bake at suggested temp & time for biscuits, until the biscuits are golden brown. Serve immediately. Serves 4-6.

A flow equation approach to semi-classical approximations : a comparison with the WKB method
Thesis (MSc (Physics))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006.
The aim of this thesis is the semi-classical implementation of Wegner’s flow equations and comparison with the well-established Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin method. We do this by converting operators, in particular the Hamiltonian, into scalar functions, while an isomorphism with the operator product is maintained by the introduction of the Moyal product. A flow equation in terms of these scalar functions is set up and then approximated by expanding it to first order in ~. We apply this method to two potentials, namely the quartic anharmonic oscillator and the symmetric double-well potential. Results obtained via the flow equations are then compared with those obtained from the WKB method.

"You know something, Diana? We are rich. We have sixteen years to our credit, and we both have wonderful imaginations. We should be as happy as queens. "
I am a firm believer in Anne. She is right when she says that we are rich. The world has an incredible array of wonders that can fulfill the spirit and mind, and I think that's why I've begun this blog.
As a young woman of the 21st century, I find I am unsatisfied not with myself, but with the society in which I live. I find myself in a world that is rushing to get the new, the shiny, the - for the most part- perfectly pointless. Happiness found in small simple things is seldom seen, and never talked about, and the knowledge and ways of the past are sadly neglected. I find myself yearning for those pasttimes recalled in books, and blundering along trying to learn them. It is not easy being a young lady in 2006, let alone a closet homekeeper.
Yes, my secret's out. If I could stay home full-time, I probably would. That's right, a university educated, scholarship winning , creative, personable young woman, choosing to stay at home. Quite unheard of in this day and age. It is a frustrating dilemma I find myself in. How can I explain that my home and my family are important to me? More important than escaping the house and earning that paycheck? In my view, a clean and beautiful home are a sign of respect to my guests, inviting them to return again soon; home baked bread, and warm wholesome meals are a joy to eat and much better for our health; colourful gardens bring smiles to everyone who sees them, and smells them!
My blog will be dedicated to talking about little homey things, things that enrich us, teach us, and help us see the world alittle rosier.

A Little Bit Above Normal
Here’s a quote about outfield defense from Torii Hunter at his reintroduction to Minnesota press conference:
“Eyes (are) your judge. I think whoever believes in that sabermetrics stuff never played the game and won’t understand it. There’s no way you can measure playing outfield. Only eyes can do that. … I’ve dropped off — I’m older — but not much. When you set the bar so high, and you’ve played the outfield as I did when I was younger, and you do a lot of different things (you hit for power) if it drops off just a little bit, they say, ‘Hey this guy’s done.’ No, I’m not. I might be just a little bit above normal.”
According to St. Paul’s Mike Berardino, he then shook his head and laughed.
“Man,” he said. “That was cocky.” There’s an awful lot in that Hunter quote, but I don’t want to rehash the tired stuff about whether you can quantify defense or what it even means to measure stuff “with your eyes” or how people who believe in that sabermetric stuff are like D.J. Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince’s parents — they just don’t understand. There’s something else in there, something sort of sweet and vulnerable and emotional, even if Torii Hunter himself doesn’t realize it.
It’s damned hard to grow old in baseball. Or, if you prefer, it’s just damned hard to grow old.
Consider batting average for a moment. Don’t consider how useful a statistic it is or how it compares to on-base percentage or any of that. Just consider batting average on its own terms — it is figured by dividing hits by at-bats. Yes, there are some complications to determining what is a hit and what is an at-bat, but generally speaking this is about as simple as baseball rate statistics get.
Now, look at Willie Mays’ career.
He hit .347 when he was 27 years old.
He hit .314 when he was 31 years old.
He hit .317 when he was 34 years old.
He hit .289 when he was 36 years old.
He hit .271 when he was 40 years old.
He hit .211 in 66 games in his final year at age 42.
Here’s the thing: Mays knew HOW to hit a baseball throughout his career. If anything, he knew much much MORE about hitting a baseball when he was 40 than when he was 27. He had seen many more fastballs, many more curveballs, many more sliders. When he was 27, he had not yet faced Koufax at his best, Gibson at his best, Drysdale at his best. At 27, he had never even played Major League baseball on the West Coast. He learned so much baseball through the years — so much about hitting, so much about how to read a pitcher, so much about how to deal with the environment, so much about how go with the pitch, so much about everything.
If there had been no such thing as batting average, or any other useful offensive statistic, Willie Mays at 42 would probably have understood he wasn’t QUITE the player he had been when he was young. He would have understood that his body simply didn’t react the way it once had. But I suspect his mind would have told him again and again: “You make up for it by knowing so much more.” I suspect he would have seen himself as a good and useful hitter — or as Torii Hunter says: “A little bit above normal.”
The .211 batting average, though, that was a bucket of ice water that could not be disregarded. For 125 or so years now, batting average has always been there to throw that cold water on old hitters. Batting average is powerful, unambiguous and it glares like the noontime sun.
This is what fascinates me about baseball defense. We still don’t have defensive numbers that are widely accepted. When Torii Hunter scoffs at sabermetrics, he still has a large audience within baseball that nods along. And, truth is, many people who are steeped in sabermetrics have real problems with most of today’s defensive statistics like UZR or Defensive WAR or the Dewan Plus/Minus. I think we will have a deeper discussion about all this when talking about Gary Sheffield’s Hall of Fame case.
But, beyond the statistic, there is the mindset. Torii Hunter knows more about playing baseball defense than just about anybody in the entire world. He was a breathtaking centerfielder for years, both by the numbers and by the eyes. He stole home runs, and he snagged singles from the grass, and he threw out more than 100 baserunners over the years. He was a joy to watch … and inside his own mind he had to feel like he was learning something new all the time, learning angles, learning positioning, learning the sky, learning the wind.
Now, he’s 39 and he has a doctorate in defense, he’s the poet laureate of defense, he probably knows more about how to play the outfield than any two guys combined in the game today. And the question remains: What does all this knowledge mean? What can you do with it? When it comes to hitting, we know exactly what it means — Stan Musial hit .255 his last year. Babe Ruth hit .181 in 28 games at the end. Derek Jeter hit .256. Ichiro has not hit .300 either of the last two seasons, though his mind is one of a batting wizard. No matter how much knowledge you have, in the end, it won’t catch you up to the fastball.
But what about defense? Can positioning and anticipation and a thorough understanding of the game make a declining older player useful in the outfield? Those disputed numbers we do have decisively say, “NO!” In fact the numbers say that players peak and decline EARLIER on defense than they do as hitters.
But, per Torii Hunter, we’re not talking numbers. We’re taking the eyes. We’re talking the mind. We’re talking the heart.
“I might be just a little bit above normal,” Hunter says, and to me there is just something touching about those words. Torii Hunter is 39 years old now, and he is still at this crazy game. He has found ways to keep contributing offensively in his winter years — back to batting average, his only two years of .300 batting averages came at ages 36 and 37. He can still hit the ball with some authority.
And the defensive numbers that show him to have fallen dramatically (Dewan had him a dreadful 18 runs below an average right fielder last year)? Well, he just doesn’t buy them. Numbers never played the game. Torii Hunter’s mind tells him that he may no longer be supernormal out there, but he’s certainly better than normal. His mind, like most of our minds, will not be persuaded otherwise.

SPUR (San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association)
Silicon Valley, the most dynamic and innovative economic engine in the world, is not creating great urban places. Having grown around the automobile, the valley consists largely of low-slung office parks, surface parking and suburban tract homes. But tastes and values are rapidly moving away from strictly suburban lifestyles. Today’s top firms and top talent are increasingly demanding engaging places, diverse experiences and convenient amenities. Simply put, they are demanding urbanism.
The city of San Jose is critical to the future of the Bay Area. The Association of Bay Area Governments projects that San Jose will add more new residents in the coming decades than any other city in the region — more than San Francisco and Oakland combined. The shape of that growth is critically important to the sustainability, livability and economic vitality of the region. San Jose faces a particular set of challenges — shared by many American cities — around how to retool environments built for the automobile for a future that better supports walking, cycling and transit.
In 2011, the City of San Jose adopted Envision San Jose 2040, an ambitious new General Plan intended to guide the city’s growth in the coming decades. It calls for the addition of 470,000 jobs and 120,000 housing units by 2040, with most new development concentrated in designated “Urban Villages” and other growth areas. It also imagines a dramatic shift to mixed, walkable “complete neighborhoods” that provide basic services and amenities close to homes, workplaces and transit.
Achieving this transformation is a daunting challenge — much more so than is immediately apparent. To be successful will require changes in culture, public policy, professional and technical practices, infrastructure, markets and norms. San Jose’s real estate market has been relatively soft. The city government faces fiscal challenges that limit its capacity for ambitious investment. Many aspects of this transformation are out of the control of policymakers, and many contradictory imperatives drive decisions within city government.
While the General Plan does an excellent job of sketching a transformational vision, and includes an impressive level of detail in defining the location and density of growth, its successful implementation is far from assured. The physical form of new development at the human scale will determine whether the benefits of denser land use patterns actually translate into livable, walkable, less car-oriented places or simply to denser sprawl — placeless apartment complexes and office parks hemmed in by worsening congestion.
San Jose brings tremendous assets to this challenge. The broad-based enthusiasm for a more urban future — coupled with the city’s spectacular weather and natural setting, diverse communities, and legendary capacity for innovation — presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to retool for a more sustainable and competitive future.
Major Project Goals
The recommendations in this report are intended to help San Jose accomplish the following:
Improve the Development Process
1. Increase the speed, certainty and quality of development
2. Provide support to decision-makers and city staff in upholding policies and implementing the General Plan vision
3. Build urban design knowledge, capacity and enthusiasm
4. Support General Plan implementation and Urban Village planning
Make San Jose More Livable and Attractive
5. Attract development that increases long-term economic value
6. Cultivate a better quality of life and sense of place
7. Attract top firms and top talent to San Jose
Build Long-Term Sustainability
8. Support a shift to walking, cycling and transit
9. Create flexible places that can change over time
10. Align city resources and practices to realize efficiencies and support great places
“Through research, education and advocacy, SPUR promotes good planning and good government in the San Francisco Bay Area. A member-supported nonprofit organization, we play the crucial role of uniting citizens to jointly craft solutions to the biggest problems our cities face.”

The civil rights movement was an iconic turning point for human rights not only in the United States, but around the world. The movement was a decades-long effort by black Americans to end racial discrimination, disenfranchisement, mob and police lynchings, and segregation of public workplaces and schools.
Pioneers of the movement such as Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr. were instrumental in the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. Although the campaign is largely African-American, it there were other non-blacks. allies who supported civil rights and equality for all. One of the most famous allies was Archbishop Iakovos of the Greek Orthodox Church.
Archbishop Yakovos was the primate of North and South America for the Greek Orthodox Church during the Civil Rights Movement (now Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America). Yakovos was a strong supporter of human rights from an early age when he was born in the later years of the Ottoman Empire, which displayed not only intolerance towards ethnic and religious minorities, but also persecutions and generalized genocides, in particular towards Armenians, Assyrians, Maronites and Greeks like him. When the Archbishop heard of Selma’s planned march, he took it upon himself to stand alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. himself. It was a great deal because hardly any other church leader in the United States would openly support the civil rights movement, whether out of fear or a lack of empathy. For example, Rev. James Reed, a white Unitarian pastor, was brutally murdered by white segregationists in Alabama on his way to Selma four days earlier.
Archbishop Yakovos had received numerous death threats for his planned participation in Selma with Dr King, but none of this deterred him. In 1965, there was no guarantee of protection from the local police or the state, as many sympathized with segregationists or were quietly members of the Klan when not working normally.
Despite the risks, none of this deterred Yakovos and his faith. He traveled to Selma, Alabama, where he immediately bonded with Dr. King himself. The two became very close friends immediately and shared a common bond for mankind and the belief that all were equal under the Lord. The Archbishop and Dr King were both recorded and photographed walking together and Life Magazine published an iconic cover photo on their March 1965 issue. The caption read: “A historic turning point for the cause of the negroes” which means that the actions of non-People Of Color allies like Archbishop Yakovos ultimately helped solidify the civil rights movement and dismantle the Jim Crow system.
Even before Selma, Archbishop Yakovos was a staunch supporter and ally. During the passage of the law in 1964, he declared with joy: “Glory to the highest! May this mark the beginning of a new era for all mankind, an era in which the word of God traces and guides our lives. When Dr King was assassinated in 1968, the Archbishop was deeply moved and continued to honor his legacy and the legacy of the Archdiocese by making the Greek Orthodox Church part of the family of religions in the United States. United and accepting anyone, regardless of ethnicity or background, to be a part of fellowship. Archbishop Iakovos would continue to lead as Archbishop of the Americas until 1996, when a dispute with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I forced him to resign. He would live the rest of his years in a quiet life until his death on April 10, 2005. To this day, the Greek Orthodox Church has always sought and been an ally of those in need, and the actions of the Archbishop Yakovos will be forever immortalized in history.

Episode 13 – “Peace, Love & Woe”
Greetings everyone, it’s time for the bakers dozenth episode of Power Rangers! No housekeeping announcements this week, let’s just get right to the episode.
We being in the juice bar/gymnasium where all the plucky teens (including our heroes) are engaged in normal teenage activities; a little gymnastics, some karate and everyone else is getting the place (which looks WAY bigger than usual. New set?) seems to be decorating for a big dance. Bulk barges in on one of those big 90s skateboards that are starting to become popular again. As usual, Bulk manages to crash into Ernie who is carrying a cake and Bulk gets it all over his face. Totally classic Bulk, no wonder he’s so fat.
On the moon Rita is explaining her new plan, basically her plan is to attack the Power Rangers with a monster when they least expect it. That’s right, it’s the same plan she uses every time… But in the words of General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmany Melchett “doing the same thing we’ve done 18 times before is PRECISELY the last thing they’ll expect us to do this time.” (If you don’t know that reference you need to watch the fourth series of Blackadder. Go ahead, I’ll wait.)
Back at the juice bar/gymnasium Ernie tells Bulk and Skull to stop being assholes all the time or don’t come back. This is the first time we’ve seen any kind of non-food-in-face discipline being given to Bulk and Skull, I wonder if it will change the way they behave? Zack asks Billy to let him teach him some moves for the big dance tonight and then launches into the same annoying spinny dance moves he does every week. Zack… this is not teaching, that is called “being a douche.” How’s Billy supposed to follow that? Billy says he’s not interested in dancing just to attract girls. Zack laughs at him and walks off dancing. What an ass. Jason asks Billy if he asked anyone to the big dance. Why is everyone so interested in Billy’s love life all of a sudden? As far as I’m concerned Billy is as asexual as a teletubby. Billy says he has not because his priority is to finish his crazy weather science experiment or something. Billy excuses himself to go do science or something, but on the way out he bumps into the female version of himself (she’s wearing blue and everything!) they exchange awkward Billy dialogue before Billy puts the girls necklace back on her. Billy and the girl (who they haven’t named yet so I’m going to call her Boobly- for ‘Billy with Boobs’) go and sit down to have a juice (it is a juice bar) and a chat. They discover they both graduated for the “accelerated baby genius” program which sounds like a barrel of laughs. Just as it seemed Billy was about to invite the girl to the big dance his friends call him over, claiming there is an emergency. When he gets over there they tell him to just ask her to the dance. THAT’S WHAT HE WAS DOING YOU MORONS! Anyway, it doesn’t matter because she asks him, he suggest they meet up later in the day to get to know one another better and talk about his weather machine thing. She says that is a “capital idea!” (I have met lots of nerds and scientists and with the exception of one friends dorky economist/lawyer brother NOBODY talks like this) and they agree to meet at the park by the lake. Hot.
We cut to what looks like a Kabuki-themed monster wearing the helmet that Shredder used to wear on Ninja Turtles and with big “Lady Deathstrike” blade fingers. Rita contacts her and recruits her to use her crown jewel to send the Power Rangers to another dimension. Kabuki-Sue (my fun name for her) agrees to do just that. She materializes before Boobly (who for some reason she thinks is a Power Ranger) and traps her in the weird pocket dimension thing. Rita was watching this and she’s annoyed because Kabuki-Sue screwed up the incredibly simple instruction she was given! I don’t see why she’s so surprised, Rita’s goons have yet to perform a single task correctly so why should Kabuki-Sue (who apparently is actually named Madame Woe, but I like my name for her better) be any different.
Billy arrives at the appointed time to meet Boobly and discovers that she’s gone! He finds her necklace that she claims never to be without, but before he can look for her he’s jumped by putties! Billy radios for the other rangers for help and they dash off to rescue their karate-impaired buddy. One of the putties employs my new favorite move: “The Donkey Kong” he literally rolls a big barrel at Kimberly and she has to jump over it. Terrific. After one of the non-costume battle sequences the putties retreat. Billy tells everyone about Boobly’s disappearance. Just then, the rangers are summoned to the command center by Zordon, who informs them that Boobly was captured by Rita! Billy blames himself, but everyone tells him to shut up so they can continue the briefing. Zordon explains that Kabuki-Sue can control weather (not unlike a certain invention that a certain blue ranger.) The only way to defeat her is to combine all their powers. Zordon explains that by combining their power coins any one ranger can assume ALL their powers! Once again, a new power that Zordon never bothered to tell the rangers about…
IT’S MORPHIN TIME!
The rangers charge into battle with Kabuki-Sue, but before they can do anything she teleports them to the pocket dimension where Boobly is a prisoner! Rather than leave them for all eternity, Kabuki-Sue stays in the pocket dimension to fight with the rangers. Kabuki-Sue unleashes a devastating attack! Well not that devastating I guess… in fact it’s kind of silly… she makes water spray at them. Her big move is the same thing every dad in history does to his kids when he’s watering the lawn. But, the rangers act like it really hurts. Zack points out that their weapons are having no effect and says that there must be some way to beat her. Apparently they’ve all forgotten what Zordon said 30 fucking seconds ago!!! It takes Kabuki-Sue trying to strangle Billy for them to remember and they all combine their power coins which allows Billy to escape. He and Kabuki-Sue start fighting back in the real world. Despite having combined all their powers Billy is still getting his ass kicked. Maybe they should have let Jason combine the powers and not the most useless fighter… Billy catches a lucky break and snatches the jewel off Kabuki-Sue’s forehead which allows the other rangers and Boobly to also escape the pocket dimension. The rangers do a bunch of flips and jumpkicks and such before Jason gives the signal to combine their weapons into the cool laser crossbow. One rainbow laser blast later and Kabuki-Sue is no more! Rita’s failure has caused her a migraine and she starts emoing out about how unfair it all is.
The time of the big dance has arrived and everyone has opened up a big circle to watch Zack dance around. I wish someone would throw a shoe. Billy and Boobly are sitting at a table and she’s telling Billy about her ordeal. She mentions that her favorite ranger was the blue one (she’s probably the only person in history who chose Billy as their favorite ranger too…) Too bad Billy has to play it cool, because he probably would have gotten laid… Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull are wearing totally awesome disguises, but they don’t fool Ernie who tells them if they want to stay they’ll have to pay for the cake that Bulk destroyed with his face. Reluctantly, Bulk agrees and starts taking off his shoes (which is apparently where he keeps his cash) Skull appears terrified and ties a bandana across his nose. Bulk reaches into his dirty sock and pulls out the money he owes Ernie. But OH NO! The smell of the money overpowers Ernie so badly he passes out into the cake. The rangers revive him and still covered in cake he leads everyone in a hilarious dance.
Another pretty good episode! Could it be that the show is actually getting better?!
The out of costume fight sequence was cool and once again we didn’t have to resort to the Megazord to kill the monster
Well, Rita describing her plan like it was a brand new strategy was a little annoying.
Seriously, Ernie’s dancing at the end is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
I give this one 4 out of 5 power-coins.
That’s it for today, don’t miss Friday’s post where we’ll be reviewing episode 14: “Foul Play in the Sky” wherein Jason joins the mile-high club but regrets it when he discovers he has herpes. Power Rangers: Fun AND Educational!
ALTERNATE NEXT WEEK ON JOKE (I couldn’t decide which I liked better)
Don’t miss next weeks episode “Foul Play in the Sky” wherein the rangers battle a thespian duck-monster!

Band 'washed away from stage'
There is some TV dramatic footage of the tsunami crashing into a band while they perform on stage.
More than 100 employees of the state utility company PLN had gathered in Tanjung Lesung for an end-of-year event, a company spokesman has told Reuters.
Local rock band Seventeen was performing at the event when the tsunami crashes over the stage from behind the band, washing away the group and audience.
“The water washed away the stage which was located very close to the sea,” the band said in a statement. “The water rose and dragged away everyone at the location. We have lost loved ones, including our bassist and manager ... and others are missing.”
Indonesian authorities have warned people who have evacuated the Sunda Strait beaches region not to return until they are told it is safe.
Rahmat Triyono, the head of the meteorological agency, was quoted by Reuters as saying: “Please do not be around the beaches around the Sunda Strait. Those who have evacuated, please do not return yet.”
Australia’s department of foreign affairs is working to determine if any Australians are among the dead and injured.
“The Australian embassy in Jakarta is making urgent enquiries to determine whether any Australians have been affected by the tidal wave that hit beaches in the Sunda Strait area,” a departmental spokesperson said.
Number of victims 'will increase'
Emergency teams from the country’s disaster mitigration agency are not yet on the scene so local officials are doing their best to cope with the devastation.
Hundreds of homes and other buildings – including at least nine hotels – have been heavily damaged.
Endan Permana, head of the agency in Pandeglang, told Metro TV that police were helping victims in Tanjung Lesung in Banten province.
“Many are missing,” Permana said adding that with information from many areas still to be compiled, there was a “possibility that data on the victims and damage will increase”.
'I ran as far as I could'
Witness accounts are beginning to emerge to give us a picture of what has happened.
Agence France-Presse says that at Carita beach in Pandenglang, 15-year-old Muhammad Bintang described a sudden surge of water that plunged the tourist spot into darkness. He said:
We arrived at 9pm for our holiday and suddenly the water came – it went dark, the electricity is off. It’s messy outside and we still cannot access the road.
On the other side of the strait, in Sumatra, Lutfi Al Rasyid said he fled the beach in Kalianda city in fear for his life.
I could not start my motorbike so I left it and I ran... I just prayed and ran as far as I could.
Anak Krakatoa eruption
The Indonesian geophysics agency says the Anak Krakatoa volcano erupted about 24 minutes before the tsunami.
The 305m-high (1,000ft) volcano is about 80km off the west coast of Java and has been erupting since June. In July, authorities widened its no-go areas to 2km from the crater.
Officials say it is rare for eruptions to trigger a tsunami which might explain the initial confusion in not calling it a tsunami.
If the name Anak Krakatoa sounds familiar that’s because it was formed out of the remains of the famous Krakatoa volcano which blew its top in 1883. The name means Child of Krakatoa. That eruption was reckoned to be one of the biggest of all time and spewed ash and rock more than 20km into the sky, plunging the region into darkness. The blast was heard as far away as Alice Springs in central Australia. The disaster killed more than 36,000 people. Anak Krakatoa emerged from the caldera of that explosion.
There is a bit more detail about where the fatalities have occurred.
The worst affected area was the Pandeglang region of Banten province in Java, which encompasses the Ujung Kulon national park and popular beaches, the disaster management agency said. Of the deaths, 33 were in Pandeglang. There were at least three people dead in Serang, which is further north.
Alif, a resident in Pandeglang district who goes by one name, was quoted on Associated Press as saying that the tsunami reached about 3 metres (9.84 feet) high. He told MetroTV station that many people were still searching for missing relatives.
The waves also spread west to Sumatra. In the city of Bandar Lampung on southern Sumatra, hundreds of residents took refuge at the governor’s office.
Sutopo said officials were still trying to work out the exact cause of the disaster.
In his very first tweet on the matter today, Sutopo said there had not been a tsunami and that it was a tidal wave caused by the full moon.
But he later deleted the tweet and corrected himself. Officials now believe it was caused by a combination of an eruption of Anak Krakatoa which cause undersea landslides, and the full moon tides.
The national disaster agency says the tsunami has affected an area between Serang and Pandenglang, which is on the very western tip of Java. It’s quite a big area stretching about 100km. Here’s a map to help get an understanding.
Information is sketchy about the damage caused but the agency’s spokesman, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, released a statement earlier this morning giving some details.
The regions most affected are Padenglang Regency, South Lampung and Serang. In Pandeglang District the affected areas are in the districts of Carita, Panimbang and Sumur. “Areas that were severely affected were settlements and tours on Tanjung Lesung beach, Sumur beach, Teluk Lada beach, Panimbang beach, and Carita beach,” he said.
Here is a link to the statement translated into English.
Hello and welcome to our blog on the tsunami that has hit the west coast of Java in Indonesia.
Here is what we know so far:
- The wave struck the area on the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra on Saturday, around 9.30pm local time.
- The national disaster agency says 43 people have been killed and nearly 600 are injured.
- A local disaster official said there were “many” people missing.
- It is believed that a combination of underwater landslides triggered by an eruption of Anak Krakatoa volcano and high tides around the full moon caused the tsunami.
- The disaster agency says it is still investigating the causes.
- Emergency teams have been sent to the area although the agency said the main road to the region was blocked.
- The wave hit villages and hotels along the coast – especially the areas of Pandenglang, South Lampung and Serang. The region is a popular getaway from the capital city, Jakarta, 180km away.
- One witness, a Norwegian photographer, said he had to run to higher ground to escape the wave.

Seehofer Slams Plan by Merkel's Government to End Border Checksby
Premier says support for governing parties may slip further
Interior minister said he might stop border checks in May
Bavarian Premier Horst Seehofer renewed his criticism of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s refugee policies, slamming Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere’s plan to end passport checks on the Austrian border in May.
While that may alleviate the situation in border towns, it’s a risk to security and flies in the face of increased checks by countries such as France and Belgium due to terror threats, Seehofer told the Mittelbayerische Zeitung in an interview. De Maiziere didn’t inform Bavaria, the main entry point into Germany for refugees, of his plan, Seehofer said.
Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union and Seehofer’s Bavarian sister party to the CDU may see their approval ratings drop below 30 percent unless they find better solutions to the crisis, the prime minister told the newspaper. Seehofer, Merkel and Sigmar Gabriel -- head of their junior coalition partner, the Social Democrats -- are scheduled to hold a coalition summit in Berlin next week.
Seehofer and Merkel have been at odds for months over how to respond to the biggest inflow of refugees since World War II. Public support for the two parties they lead has taken a hit following the arrival of 1 million asylum seekers last year and Merkel’s CDU lost support in three state elections that took place last month.
De Maiziere on Tuesday said he’ll halt checks on Germany’s frontier with Austria next month if the influx of refugees remains at the current level, which is well below the peak reached in the latter part of 2015. Doing so would restore the free flow of people and goods across the border that is the hallmark of Europe’s Schengen agreement.

More foreign nationals arrive at Durban police station for shelter
More foreign nationals have sought shelter in a Durban police station and a mosque following a flare-up of xenophobic violence on Tuesday night.
At least 20 foreign nationals arrived at the mosque in Crescent Street, Overport, after they were targeted by their neighbours in Jadhu Place informal settlement in Springfield Park.
Earlier in the day, the numbers at the Sydenham police station swelled from 50 to more than 100 when foreign nationals were displaced during a "xenophobic attack" at Burnwood informal settlement.
KwaZulu-Natal police on Wednesday confirmed that more foreign nationals sought shelter on Tuesday night. "More foreign nationals went to Sydenham police station for help last night but no serious incidents were reported," said Lt-Col Thulani Zwane.
Hours earlier 50 foreign nationals, including five babies, were displaced when their unemployed neighbours in the Burnwood informal settlement kicked down their doors.
It is believed that the unemployed informal settlement residents were angry that foreign nationals were employed by local companies.
Sydenham community policing forum spokesman Satish Dhupelia told TimesLIVE on Wednesday morning that the displaced foreign nationals were going to be temporarily relocated to a site in Sherwood.
"We intend to erect tents to provide shelter," he said.
The group slept at the police station on Tuesday night. The local community provided meals and blankets.

Vijay’s blockbuster entertainer ‘Kaththi’, which was directed by AR Murugadoss
, is all set to be remade in Hindi. Reportedly, the Hindi remake rights has been acquired by none other than Sanjay Leela Bhansali. His home production SLB Films will be bankrolling the project in Bollywood
According to reports, the makers are looking to cast some big names in the industry. It must be noted that Sanjay Leela Bhansali had previously produced blockbuster likes ‘Rowdy Rathore’ and ‘Gabbar is Back’, which were the remakes of ‘Siruthai’ and ‘Ramana’ respectively. The details regarding the cast and crew are expected to be announced shortly.
It’s worth mentioning that ‘Kaththi’ was remade in Telugu as ‘Khaidi No 150’ starring Chiranjeevi, which became a terrific hit at the box office. Directed by AR Murugadoss, ‘Kaththi’ revolves around the story of two lookalikes Jeevanandam and Kathiresan, who fight against the corrupt corporate system. In the film, Vijay
played dual roles and was praised for his performance as Jeevanandam. ‘Kaththi’, which released on Diwali, opened to rave reviews and became one of the highest grossing films of 2014.
On the work front, Vijay is once again teaming up with AR Murugadoss for ‘Sarkar’, a political drama, which is slated to release on Diwali this year.


USE OF NANOPOROUS CERAMIC MEMBRANES FOR CARBON DIOXIDE SEPARATION
Free (open access)
Volume 1 (2016), Issue 3
284 - 295
M.N. KAJAMA, N.C. NWOGU & E. GOBINA
Natural gas processes accounts for about 5.3 billion tonnes per year of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission to the atmosphere. At this rate of emission, the expectation will drastically rise if not curtailed. In order to achieve this, a cost-effective and environmental friendly technology is required. In recent times, membrane technology has been widely applied for CO2 removal from raw natural gas components. This article examines CO2 separation from natural gas, mainly methane (CH4), through a mesoporous composite membrane. A laboratory scale tubular silica membrane with a permeable length of 348 mm, I.D and O.D of 7 and 10 mm, respectively, was used in this experiment. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the morphology of the membrane. Single gas permeation of helium (He), CH4, nitrogen (N2), argon (Ar) and CO2 were determined at permeation temperature range between 25 and 100°C and feed gauge pressure of 0.05 to 5.0 barg. Before silica modification, He recorded the highest flow rate (0.3745 l/min) while CO2 recorded the least flow rate (0.1351 l/min) at 0.4 barg and 25°C. After silica modification, CO2 flow enhances significantly (3.1180 l/min at 1.0 barg) compared to CH4 (2.1200 l/min at the same gauge pressure) due to the influence of surface flow mechanism. Temperature variation described the applicability of Knudsen diffusion for He. A combination of viscous, surface and Knudsen diffusion transport mechanisms were obtained throughout the experiment. Membrane thickness was also calculated to be 2.5 × 10−4 m.

Author has written 3 stories for Fallout.
Well hi there! I'm Shannon, and you can call me that.
I would go into a short thing about how I started writing and what kinds of stories I'm working on or something, but somehow I don't see the purpose for it.
I'm really no different from most of the people on this site. I'm just a teenager who fancies herself a good writer and thinks herself much higher than the normal population.
If you're looking for some similarities between me and you, you're in luck if you're a lover of Bethesda games, Legend of Zelda, role-playing games, zombies, and sitting around thinking about shit. And if you might possibly be manic-depressive. And sarcastic.
You should really just ask me anything you're wondering. I'll even tell you what color underwear I have on, if you really need to know, which I really hope you don't.
And I really slack on reviewing the great stories I read. That's why I've bookmarked them and may hopefully come back to them, great writers.
So...yeah. Please review, and flame if you see fit. I love flames (and reviews, duh).

Market expects RBA to Cut Interest Rates Next Week
MELBOURNE — Market’s had another good session overnight. The panic of August and September seems to be fading. Why is that, do you think?
John Hilrenrath from the Wall Street Journal provides the answer…
The chances of a Federal Reserve interest-rate increase in 2015 are diminishing amid new signs of anemic economic activity, a disappointing development for central bank officials who have been hoping to move this year after a prolonged period of easy-money policies.
Sentiment in the Aussie market is improving too. And for the same reason. The market expects the RBA to cut interest rates, possibly as soon as next week.
This is all part of the global currency wars. Lower interest rates mean a weaker currency, which is a way for countries to ‘steal’ demand from others.
But when the chief proponent of the currency war is the country with the world’s reserve currency — the US — it causes all sorts of problems. These problems unfold slowly and deceptively. As Strategic Intelligence editor Jim Rickards explains in his essay today, currencies lose their mantle over many years, not in days or weeks. Jim writes:
The replacement of sterling by the dollar as the world’s leading reserve currency was a process that took 30 years, from 1914 to 1944.
Hmmm… That was a pretty eventful period, wasn’t it? Two world wars and an epic stock boom and bust, followed by the greatest economic depression seen in the modern world. It’s no coincidence that these events unfolded as the world entered a type of currency vacuum.
Keep this in mind as you read Jim’s essay today. We’re in the early stages of another global currency vacuum. What that will bring is anyone’s guess. But it won’t be pretty. To deal with this evolving investment environment, you need to evolve too.
That means doing things differently and being willing to try new approaches. What worked in the past won’t work in the future. For a start, you could do worse than to have Jim as your guide. Keep an eye out for his essays over the next week or so to get your thinking on the right track.

Technology giant Apple appears to be interested in using the platform of the BMW i3 for their rumored all-electric autonomous car.
Even though the first negotiations between Apple and BMW have been cancelled last year, both parties have agreed to keep in touch with one another from time to time.
According to German publication Manager Magazine, the two companies are reportedly in talks about the matter, with Apple CEO Tim Cook at the helm. Cook is insistent with the use of BMW's i3 as a basis of their autonomous car as the CEO, along with his other top managers, visited the automaker's Leipzig plant to check out the i3.
BMW's idea to make the i3 available to Apple may be the result of its low market demand. However, BMW CEO Harald Kruger stated to Manager Magazine that they plan to expand their lineup of electric vehicles. Sources close to the matter said the company plans to introduce an SUV-like all-electric nameplate in the future.
For now, the BMW is currently working on making new editions of the i3 and the i8. The final decision of the company will supposedly happen later this fall.

Last week I was very fortunate to pick up and take my Knit Country on a retreat in the gorgeous San Juan Islands. To get to this remote destination, one must take a scenic ferry ride through the archipelago to the Friday Harbor destination. Friday Harbor is a quaint town featuring gathering places for the traveler including some of my favorites: Island Wools, the Coffee Bean, and Pelindaba, a delectable lavender store.
The retreat was sponsored by Sivia Harding, and was called the "Joy of Knitting Retreat". Need I say more? Sivia Is a premier knit designer, best known for her designs incorporating lace and beads. Sivia taught us four of her designs suitable for gift giving this holiday season. I was able to complete two and make lots of progress on the other two.
In between the moments spent knitting, learning about knitting, talking about knitting, and shopping for knitting supplies, the retreat go-ers were able to enjoy the beauty of the island.
The best part about the retreat? The 20 kindred spirits who will hopefully become lifelong friends.
