And now, it is political prisoner Friday and we look at another incredible human being whose name is Oso Blanco (Byron Chubbuck). Oso is serving 80 years, EIGHTY YEARS, for unarmed bank robbery, aggravated assault on an FBI agent, escape, and firearms charges. Oso was arrested after an undercover agent said he was robbing banks and sending the money to help support the Zapatistas and indigenous children in Chiapas throughout 1998 and 1999.
Oso Blanco is and has been a target for prison harassment for years. Why? You know why? He refuses fo cooperate with the US government and refuses to recognize that government as having authority over his as a sovereign Cherokee.
According to Denver ABC, the latest harassment which included ransacked and stolen property (some important and sacred):
"...comes as retribution for his filing on the basis of the US having no plenary powers over indigenous nations as articulated by Steven T Newcomb in his article, “No Plenary Power Over Indian Nations”.The following comes from Free Oso Blanco.
I am serving 80 years in Beaumont federal Penitentiary for bank robbery and firearms violation. I robbed from the banks and gave to the Hood and indigenous warriors. I was dubbed by the FBI as Robin The Hood. For my info on me all you need to do is Google my name you will find both the lies of main stream media and some independent interviews where I was able to give my accounts of the situation. Do this and then write me if your still interested in me helping others.
I just want people to be free-
and realize and discover the powerful
elements of the Great Creator-in all things living.
Free from destructive energy sources.
Free from political religious formats of control.
Free from lies.
Free from toxic chemicals.
Free from fast food.
Free from sin.
Free from the masters of political sheep control.
Free from gasoline.
Free from coal.
Free from TV and all the tech junk.
Free from make up.
Free from drugs.
Free from alcohol.
From all the things we humans have
locked our selves in…
Help the sick-the poor-the old-the handicapped.
I myself come from a violent wild west background and if I can
find a loop (hope) hole to compassion then a lot of people can
learn to think positive and take effective action.
Sometimes I feel the lonely pain and separation from my community and people. I'm locked down in a room. A cement cell 23 hours except twice a week or three days I get no recreation - 24 hours! I did not kill anyone, yet I was treated as a killer - because I defended my life. They got on a mic and told reporters I was the most dangerous criminal in NM. They claimed I was a junkie, they said I was a gang member - useless to the world. . . Now I'm like a free wolf. Chained to the floor like a sad dog, lonely in the cage. Being told, 'hey wolf that's your home for 80 years'. This is insane. Who have I killed - nobody. Who have I raped - nobody. Its unjust, the cost, the price of not only a revolutionary fighter but
Byron is a wolf clan Cherokee/Choctaw raised in New Mexico, his Indian name is Oso Blanco and he became known by the authorities as “Robin the Hood” after the FBI and local gang unit APD officers learned from a CI that Oso Blanco was robbing banks to send thousands of dollars with of supplies to the Zapatista Rebels of Chiapas on a regular basis during 1998 and 1999. Chubbuck is now serving 80 years at the US Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas, for bank robbery, aggravated assault on the FBI, escape and firearms charges. Byron engaged federal agents in a gun battle on August 13th 1999 at his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Although Chubbuck escaped, he was arrested later that day and sentenced to time in New Mexico’s state Penitentiary. After serving just over a year in New Mexico, he escaped from a prison transport van and almost immediately began robbing banks. He was recaptured a short time later. Byron never used a gun in any bank robbery, but he has a long history of living by the gun and will not hesitate to use it on the agents of repression or the occupiers of Aztlan whom force false laws on the true people of this land. Byron is not asking for monetary support, he’s only asking that people become aware of indigenous people’s issues. In an interview Oso Blanco claimed: “I am still able to hold my head up high and feel the gratification for my work in a world where money, power and destructive industries are regarded far above humanity, indigenous and impoverished peoples and cultures. I cannot help that I got deeply into my work….” A Few words from Byron: I guess when I get down to basic hope- I just want people to be free- and realize and discover the powerful elements of the Great Creator-in all things living. Free from destructive energy sources. Free from political religious formats of control. Free from lies. Free from toxic chemicals. Free from fast food. Free from sin. Free from the masters of political sheep control. Free from gasoline. Free from coal. Free from TV and all the tech junk. Free from make up. Free from drugs. Free from alcohol. From all the things we humans have locked our selves in… Help the sick-the poor-the old-the handicapped. I myself come from a violent wild west background and if I can find a loop (hope) hole to compassion then a lot of people can learn to think positive and take effective action.
Joline Gutierrez Krueger The Albuquerque Tribune "Utter Chubbuck":
You either hate Byron Shane Chubbuck or you love him. And if you love him you might hate that you do. Or you might feel guilty. Or duped. "It was like, oh, my God, is this the same cute guy I knew?" said Carolyn Butterfield, an old girlfriend of Chubbuck's from his mid -1980s Colorado days when he sported Marlon Brando leather and called himself a solo poet/sing-songwriter/artist. "If you meet him, you're instantly charmed," she said. "There's a charisma about him, a magnetism." Women staffers at Albuquerque's Project Share, which feeds the poor, had also been charmed by the handsome stranger who arrived on their doorstep in 1997 as a federal parolee needing to do community service. They also were suspicious. "He was too good to be true," said one woman there, who agreed to allow The Tribune to use the Project Share name but not her own, saying the situation was too sensitive for her to be connected so publicly to Chubbuck. "You could not have met a nicer guy. He was so helpful to us here, a total workhorse. People loved him here." Chubbuck, whom they knew as "Blanco," was the first to shake a hand, stock a shelf or serve a homeless person, she said. He knew to ingratiate himself with the staff, particularly the single women, sometimes taking 25 or more of them to elaborate lunches at Romano's Macaroni Grill. "Everything was big with him," she said. "He could never do just a little. He had to do it huge. "When bread or paper supplies dwindled, a massive donation of the needed goods would suddenly arrive. "He'd just say he knew some people and boom, there it was," she said. "We joked that he probably was in the Mafia." Chubbuck told them only that he was "connected." While he was serving the hungry at Project Share, Chubbuck was also serving as jefe and social conscience of a local gang. "He'd tell us, ..Just because you're in a gang doesn't mean you're bad,'" Brew Town Chris Perez said. "He always told us to be good examples, do positive things, help old people and like that. He'd do it, too. If he saw some homeless guy on the street begging for a dollar he'd give them $100." In turn, Chubbuck said he found his brothers, his carnales, men and boys who would lay down their lives for him and the causes he said he championed. Siempre con honor, he told them. Always with honor. "When I found my brothers I was granted a chance to use my creative ideas to instill in the hearts of gangsters passion for a cause, compassion for the desperate and slick ways to make more money with the money we were rounding up," Chubbuck said. Those slick ways would become his claim to fame. And his demise.
Chubbuck said he never feared robbing a bank. "After I was past the first door, it was too late to turn back," he said. He said he doesn't remember how many banks he has hit but notes that Albuquerque isn't the only place he has plied his nefarious trade. "I can tell you the FBI knows about one in Denver and some in Dallas," he said. Chubbuck insists he robbed his first bank to help pay off a drug debt for a relative. The others, he said, paid for food and supplies for the indigenous people of the Mexican state of Chiapas. Chubbuck said he was in Mexico around 1998 looking to score two drums of ephedrine for making methamphetamine - the same activity that had gotten him sent to prison five years before - when he decided to pay a visit to a woman whose card he had kept since 1997 when he had seen her at a protest rally in Downtown Albuquerque. The woman was in Guatemala City caring for impoverished and broken children - Guatemala street children. "It touched my heart," he said. "It made me want to be like her, help people like she did. "Chubbuck said he gave her $3,000. "I could only afford to buy one drum after that," he said. Chubbuck said he began robbing banks, sometimes two a day, never brandishing a gun and always attempting to charm tellers with his polite polish and his handsome swagger and his talk about how the money would help feed starving children. But Rudy Espinoza, regional security officer for Wells Fargo banks, said Chubbuck was not as winsome as he thought. "I will tell you that his efforts were not without emotional consequences. "Espinoza said. Many of the tellers he interviewed after a Chubbuck heist asked to be relocated, retired or sought counseling, he said. Chubbuck said he purchased marijuana with the bank loot and then sold it, tripling and quadrupling the initial amount. The profits went to the Chiapas cause, he said; the rest went to him. "I'd keep about $10,000 and go help people in my barrio or spoil my wife, "he said. Robin the Hood's run seemingly ended in August 1999 in a shootout with FBI agents at his Southeast Heights home. He pleaded guilty in October 2000 to the shooting and robbing an unprecedented 14 banks across Albuquerque. He received a 40-year sentence. Two months into it he was gone.
Chubbuck says there was no master plan, no team of accomplices waiting in the wings for him to make his daring escape Dec. 21, 2000, from a prison transport van on its way back to the Santa Fe County Detention Center from a hearing in Albuquerque. "I didn't go with some diabolical plan," he said. "They're making me out to be some mastermind. I was just desperate. I was getting beat up. I was getting gassed. I had to get out of there, and I had to tell people about the treatment we were getting in jail." The van was nearing the intersection of Second Street and Monta§o Road Northwest when Chubbuck used a smuggled key to free himself from his handcuffs, waist chains and leg shackles, and kicked out a van window and the steel-bar grate covering it. "When I first got away from the van I ran to the ¹hood," he said. "I didn't know where I was going." Chubbuck said he jumped over fences, cutting a hand already bloodied from the van escape. He exploded into the front door of a home in the 200 block of Gene Avenue Northwest, startling Stephanie Angus, 28, and a friend, her mother and her young children. "I said: ..Please help me. The cops are trying to kill me,'" he said. "I told her ..I need a ride out of the ¹hood right now.' I did not command her to do anything. I asked and pleaded. I have respect for women, and when you're looking at a woman as pretty as Ms. Angus, you better have respect." Angus, he said, was his angel. Stephanie Angus said she was terrified. But Chubbuck's charm and honest manner left her with an odd compassion for her captor, she said. "Looking back, it was the scariest experience of my life," Angus said in a recent interview. "But I don't think he was a bad person. I don't think he would hurt anybody." Chubbuck said Angus and her friend drove him out of the North Valley and the grip of a tightening dragnet. "I almost cried right in front of them because they had been sent by God," he said. "They gave me $20 and a water and Chap Stick. I told them who I was and what I just did and what I'm about, and I asked them to pray for me." After stays at a Motel 6 in midtown Albuquerque and at another "safe place," Chubbuck said he stole a blue Camaro Z28 with a snowboard inside and drove to El Paso. "I saw myself in their paper, too," he said - disappointed that, like the Albuquerque media, the El Paso newspaper was running a mug shot of a pudgier, surlier, shaved-head Chubbuck bloody and bitten from an earlier encounter with a police dog. After crashing the Z28 into a pole, Chubbuck said he made his way on foot for the next four days to Cuidad Juarez and later to Chihuahua, where he had friends. Eventually, he said he settled into a $300,000 home he had been paying off in Juarez. One day he hoped to share the home with his wife, Leticia Antillon, and their two sons, Carlos, 12, and Eduardo, almost 2. It all might have worked, too, had Chubbuck not returned to Albuquerque and resumed his Robin the Hood ways. From Jan. 12 to Jan. 30, at least six bank robberies were tied to Chubbuck, two more to his associates. Chubbuck said he had been forced to leave Mexico and return to Albuquerque after being robbed himself. Thieves broke into the home in Juarez, he said, taking radios, scales, BB guns and $11,000 in cash. "I give them credit," he said. "They were pretty darn smart." Chubbuck said he returned one last time to retrieve his wife and children. "The plan was to sneak back and get a multiband radio to my wife," he said. When things were ready, I would give her the word and say, ..Babe, pack up the truck and the kids, it's time to go.'" But Chubbuck could not sneak back silently.
Realizing and relishing the notion that he was now the hottest news in town, Chubbuck decided to use his notoriety to spread his gospel of aiding the poor, thwarting the government and fingering Santa Fe County Detention Center officials he said had made his incarceration so miserable. He chose as his conduit the unlikely T.J. Trout, long time morning drive-time disc jockey at KZRR-FM (94.1). Chubbuck wrote Trout several letters and asked fellow gang member James Thompson to send them off. He also spoke with Trout by phone Feb. 5. The conversation was broadcast several times the next day. But Chubbuck said he hadn't expected Thompson to deliver his letters personally to the radio station and risk being identified. "I hit the roof when I found out," he said. "I said: ..Are you kidding me? Oh, my God.'" Thompson's image was captured by surveillance videotape at the radio station. Early the next morning, Chubbuck was in custody and in a hospital bed with a bullet wound through his chest, courtesy of the Albuquerque police.
End of the line
Last June, jurors took 35 minutes to reach guilty verdicts against Chubbuck on charges of escape, brandishing a firearm during a violent crime and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Then they had lunch. It was an anti-climactic ending to one of the more colorful criminal episodes in recent New Mexico history. A juror was reported as saying the defense simply rested its case without providing any statements or a version of the events that happened that night. Chubbuck still fumes over that. He remains angry at his attorney, Gary Mitchell, a longtime and well-respected Ruidoso lawyer who has served as counsel for some of the state's most notorious felons. "He's a snake, a con man and a sellout," Chubbuck snarls. He accuses Mitchell of failing to seek a motion for a change of venue, for not seeking a motion to suppress testimony he had given under morphine while hospitalized. And for not having lab tests - fingerprints, DNA, blood - performed that might have proven Chubbuck never touched the Tec-9 semiautomatic weapon Albuquerque police said he aimed at them in the flurry of his Feb. 7 capture. "The state is not required to dig up exculpatory evidence - that's my lawyer's job," he said. "And he seemed to refuse to accomplish or even try to take it on in order to fight the police claims." Mitchell, though, said Chubbuck had a hand in every decision. "Obviously, I did the things I thought were in the best interest of my client after conferring with my client about those," he said. "You don't represent Chubbuck without Chubbuck being totally involved." Chubbuck could be sentenced next month to up to 40 more years for the three new convictions. Six charges of bank robbery were previously dismissed to streamline the process, prosecutors have said. Prosecutors have also said they might seek a life sentence under the federal "three strikes" law, which targets repeat offenders. Mitchell is filing a motion seeking to be fired as Chubbuck's attorney. It is Chubbuck's request. But he won't soon forget his charismatic client. "Shane's a very interesting character," he said. "If in fact he was robbing banks to give the money to poor people, well, that's a little bit different scenario than somebody robbing banks to feed a drug habit. And you sort of like guys like that. We Americans are like moths to a light bulb when it comes to that kind of stuff."
Letters from strangers, girls mostly, arrive for Chubbuck in prison, a small reminder of the charm he exudes, even from behind bars. He spends much of his time writing letters, poems, his life story. He makes ceramics. He prays for strength from the Great Creator. He has friends in prison. He cries that he hasn't seen his sons since he arrived. He rails that he must be imprisoned longer than those who kill. Already he has been accused of concocting an escape plan, this one involving a helicopter, he said. He makes no apology for the crimes he has committed, no promise that he wouldn't do it again if given the chance. "I am still able to hold my head up and feel the gratification for my work in a world where money, power and destructive industry are regarded far above humanity, indigenous and impoverished peoples or cultures," he said. "I cannot help that I got into my work."

Well another letter stating that because you don't agree with Obama you are a racist and by definition guilty of a hate crime. Here's a news flash for you self-righteous liberals who are all about peace, love and tolerance.
After eight years of your vile hate-filled letters denigrating President Bush, I find you at the height of hypocrisy. There is an old adage, "Sweep you own doorstep first." I suggest you practice it.
The liberal left is slowly replacing the God of my fathers with the new pantheon of the gods of environmentalism, homosexual marriage, mother Earth, anti-drill, anti-fur, anti-gun, late-term abortion, ad infinitum.
To paraphrase the guy who didn't have the courage to confront the folks calling Barack Obama the "N" word, "you are not part of my Alaska or my country."
So in closing, let me be perfectly clear, I neither like nor trust Obama. If you on the left don't like it, then work to pass a new law making illegal the practice of thinking for yourself. Go for it, because "frankly, Scarlett ... ."

As The Heart Beats Faster
Hearing words that hurts
Seems a sword thrusts
That gets slowly deeper
-The chamber of the heart.
And the agony starts...
-Labored and hard to breath.
The heart beats faster,
Receiving more blood
-Down to the arteries.
To control not the hate
May outburst into flame
And explode in despair.

I doubt there has ever been an editor, blogger, or agent proclaiming what we need in MG fiction is a book about miniature golf. Author John David Anderson thought differently. ONE LAST SHOT covers every birdie, par, and bogie in an 18-hole tournament. No kidding. Putt-putt.
As I tee off with my review I’ll admit Mr. Anderson is one of my favorite authors with books like MRS. BIXBY’S LAST DAY, FINDING ORION, and POSTED. With ONE LAST SHOT he chose one of my least favorite storytelling strategies, starting the book at the beginning of the last scene. I’m more of a start at the beginning and end with the climatic ending kind of reader.
This has another twist which got my attention. The chapters are labeled as holes from 1 to 18. They each begin with a description of the challenges brought forth with playing the hole. Then it flashes back to the story as to what brought 12-year-old Malcolm to compete in the mini golf competition. Chapters end with how Malcolm did on the hole and how far he is from the lead.
Told in first person, the ride is a slow climb. Stick with it and the storytelling technique turns out to be quite effective. Malcolm is an only child and can never live up to his dad’s push to make him a star—hopefully in baseball but any sport would do. Malcolm is torn between not being very good at sports and wanting to please his dad.
When Malcolm shows he’s pretty good a miniature golf his dad doesn’t just let it stay that way. He hires a former pro golfer to give his son putting lessons and gets Malcolm’s okay to enter a tournament. This adds tension to an already unsettled home situation as his parents are always having loud disagreements about Malcolm and almost anything else.
By the time you reach the clubhouse, or rather the final page, you walk away with a sense of time well spent. A few holes in one and an enjoyable strong voice in Malcolm. I came away with a message that some things in life you can’t fix. Instead, you have to move onto the next shot.
Here’s the official brief synopsis:
For as long as he can remember, Malcolm has never felt like he was good enough. Not for his parents, who have always seemed at odds with each other, with Malcolm caught in between. And especially not for his dad, whose competitive drive and love for sports Malcolm has never shared.
That is, until Malcolm discovers miniature golf, the one sport he actually enjoys. Maybe it’s the way in which every hole is a puzzle to be solved. Or the whimsy of the windmills and waterfalls that decorate the course. Or maybe it’s the slushies at the snack bar. But whatever the reason, something about mini golf just clicks for Malcolm. And best of all, it’s a sport his dad can’t possibly obsess over.
Or so Malcolm thinks.
Soon he is signed up for lessons and entered in tournaments. And yet, even as he becomes a better golfer and finds unexpected friends at the local course, be wonders if he might not always be a disappointment. But as the final match of the year draws closer, the tension between Malcolm’s parents reaches a breaking point, and it’s up to him to put the puzzle of his family back together again.

FIVE SWINGS AT WHAT I LIKE ABOUT ONE LAST SHOT
- The voices that live in Malcolm’s head are at times comical, sad, and downright tragic, but they’re always revealing.
- His relationship with an actual girl named Lex was heartfelt and sorely needed in both of their lives.
- Frank Sanderson as the washed up golf pro serves not only as a coach but a mentor for Malcolm. He’s a listener with some rather bizarre training techniques.
- Parental fighting is almost never the focus in MG. Here it takes center stage as to how it effects the child they love. If these parents could get inside Malcolm’s head, they would learn a lot.
- Much like a game of miniature golf, this one has twists and turns, some comical moments, and hopefully a story you get to share with family and friends, especially those kids like Malcolm.

Over the weekend an MRI exam revealed no structural damage in Ryan Zimmerman’s shoulder, but the Nationals third baseman has had shoulder problems for two years now and during a radio interview last night manager Matt Williams revealed for the first that he’s “got an arthritic shoulder.”
Answering questions from Nationals fans on 106.7-FM, Williams said:
But we have to look at Ryan, though, and say “Would I like Ryan to play third?” Yea, I would. For a long time? Yes. But the fact of the matter is, Ryan’s got an arthritic shoulder. It gives him problems, and sometimes it’s tough on him. So we’ve started to do some things at first base, with him, where we can give him a break sometimes. …
We have to curtail that just a touch to make sure that he feels good. What does that involve? Maybe it doesn’t involve as many throws. Maybe it’s cutting down on the amount of grounders he takes in pregame. I know that he looks to go down, especially when it’s cold, in the cage and throw. Maybe it’s an adjustment to that, too.
Williams made it clear that he wants Zimmerman to remain at third base for “a long time” but obviously it’s not a good sign that the Nationals are needing to do things like cut down on his pregame throwing in order to keep his shoulder issues from being a bigger factor.
Current first baseman Adam LaRoche is a free agent after this season and Zimmerman sliding across the diamond full time in 2015 seems like a very real possibility at this point. He’s in the first season of a six-year, $100 million extension.
According to Jorge Castillo of the Washington Post, Nationals infielder Danny Espinosa declined to attend the team’s annual Winterfest because of his dissatisfaction with management following their trade for outfielder Adam Eaton.
A source told Castillo that Espinosa’s unhappiness stemmed from a belief that the acquisition would jeopardize his starting role in 2017. With Eaton in center field, Trea Turner will likely return to his post at shortstop, leaving Espinosa out in the cold — or, as the case may be, on the bench. The move shouldn’t come as a big surprise to Espinosa, however, as Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo spoke to the possibility of trading the infielder or reassigning him to a utility role back in early November.
Offensively, the 29-year-old had a down year in 2016, slashing just .209/.306/.378 with 24 home runs in 601 PA. Defensively, he still profiles among the top shortstops in the National League, with eight DRS (Defensive Runs Saved) and 8.3 Def (Defensive Runs Above Average) in his seventh year with the club.
Espinosa will reach free agency after the 2017 season.
The Red Sox might be trying to move the wrong pitcher, according to the Boston Globe’s Nick Cafardo. Cafardo revealed that while the Sox have been trying to market right-hander Clay Buchholz, more teams would be interested in trades involving southpaw Drew Pomeranz.
The club appears reluctant to deal Pomeranz, especially because his price tag comes in at a cool $4.7 million to Buchholz’s $13.5 million in 2017. Those who have already expressed interest in the veteran hurlers, including the Twins, Mariners and Royals, also seem put off by Buchholz’s salary requirements as he enters his 32nd year.
Health could be another factor preventing teams from jumping to make trade offers, as Cafardo quotes an AL executive who believes the “medicals on both Pomeranz and Buchholz probably aren’t that great.” Neither pitcher suffered any major injuries during the 2016 season, though Pomeranz missed just over a week of play due to forearm soreness.
Pomeranz outperformed his fellow starter in 2016, pitching to a 3.32 ERA and career-best 9.8 K/9 through 170 2/3 innings with the Padres and Red Sox. He got off to an exceptionally strong start in San Diego, where his ERA dropped to 2.47 through the first half of the year before the Padres dealt him to Boston for minor league right-hander Anderson Espinoza. Buchholz, on the other hand, struggled with a 4.78 ERA and saw a decline in both his BB/9 and K/9 rates as he worked out a career-low 1.69 K/BB through 139 1/3 innings with the Sox.


Ex-Korn guitarist Brian Welch and daughter discuss his addiction as he recalls ‘masking himself with alcohol’
In the latest candid interview, former Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch and his daughter, Jennea…
Award-winning documentary “Loud Krazy Love” is being made available for public viewing through three unique opportunities — select theatrical advance screenings happening now, a Father’s Day Weekend Watch Party Event and the digital and DVD release on June 18. The trailer can be seen below.
Produced by I Am Second Media and Ditore Mayo Entertainment, “Loud Krazy Love” documents the remarkable and touching true story of two-time Grammy-winning artist Brian “Head” Welch and his daughter Jennea.
Billboard described “Loud Krazy Love” as “part rock doc, part faith testimonial, part family drama.” It’s a fearless coming-of-age story that grapples with faith, teen depression, the quest for identity and the hope of a father willing to do anything for the one he loves. The film explores the relationship between the Welches and how Jennea saved Brian‘s life, as he walked away from a $23 million record deal and overcame a crippling addiction to drugs to focus on becoming a good father.
It won “Best Feature Doc Audience Award” at the Dallas International Film Festival (beating out 35 other documentaries), was a Grand Jury nominee at the Nashville Film Festival and received critical acclaim from audiences following its premiere on Showtime.
“When I watch ‘Loud Krazy Love’, I’m amazed at where Jennea and I have been compared to where we are now,” said Brian. “Our relationship was broken and strained before I made a conscious choice to change my habits and my life. Today, our relationship is stronger than ever. If all the pain and heartache we went through can help others, then it was all worth it.”
“This film has resonated with so many different people because while Brian and Jennea have unconventional life circumstances as a rock ‘n’ roll family, the issues they faced are those with which all can relate,” said John Humphrey, vice-president of I Am Second and producer of “Loud Krazy Love”.
In addition to chronicling Brian and Jennea‘s journey, “Loud Krazy Love” also gives exclusive access of Brian on tour and at home, in-depth interviews with him, his family and his bandmates, and two decades worth of never-before-seen material from Brian and his multi-platinum-selling band KORN.
“Loud Krazy Love” is directed by first-time feature filmmakers Scott Mayo and Trey Hill and produced by Humphrey and Samuel Ditore of Ditore Mayo Entertainment.
“When we set out to make this film, it was with a desire to humanize and normalize what a real faith might actually look like,” said Mayo. “Real life is messy and tumultuous and this film portrays that.”
“Brian and Jennea‘s story is proof that there is hope for anyone,” said Hill. “You don’t have to hide from the shameful stuff in your life and you don’t have to let it control you, either. You can overcome and experience true freedom.”

The Hunt for Kohinoor
Title: The Hunt for Kohinoor
Author: Manreet Sodhi Someshwar
Publisher: Westland Books
Number of Pages: 425
Price [INR] : 295
Genre: Fiction (Thriller)
A spine-chilling ninety-six hour hunt through the world’s most dangerous terrain where history collides with gunfire – will Mehrunisa get out of this one alive?
One morning on her way to work, Mehrunisa gets a call that will change her life forever. The truth about her missing father is at her fingertips – but it will take her on the most desperate chase of her lifetime.
A chase that will pit her against hardened Jihadis plotting the deadliest terror attack on India, that will test her mettle against history’s deep secrets, that will teach her that the price of love can mean bloodied hands …
The Hunt for Kohinoor hurtles from from icy Kashmir to snow-clad Hindukush, from the sinister corridors of a military hospital to the warrens of Peshawar, even as the clock counts down to the impending catastrophe.
The Hunt for Kohinoor is a sequel to The Taj Conspiracy. I had read great reviews of The Taj Conspiracy and when I was asked to read and review The Hunt for Kohinoor, I was a bit reluctant to read it without having read the first book in this thriller series. I was told that the prequel is completely independent of the sequel, just the protagonist and some characters were similar in the 2 books and my doubts were put to rest.
When the blurb of the book mentions that it is 96 hour chase to stop a deadliest terror attack on India, I felt a sense of excitement, so, with great anticipation, I started reading this book.
The books starts with a slow pace as many stories unfold simultaneously in the initial few pages. But it picks up pace soon after and then it is difficult to put the book down. As the story progresses and as the various characters make an appearance in the book, in-depth insights about their life story and their motives are shared. This detailed characterization helps to understand the characters better (though I believe, I read the barbaric ways of Babur Khan thrice in the book at various places!) I really liked how and why the best undercover spy is similar to a snow leopard.
The engaging narration also gives a lot of details of the terrains of North India, Pakistan and Afghanistan where all the action takes place. Also the involvement of CIA, ISI, RAW, KHAD, Al Qaeda, Taliban and various our terrorist outfits in these war-torn areas made for an insightful reading. While reading about the history of the legendary Kohinoor is fascinating, how young boys are brainwashed to become martyrs by acting as suicide bombers is equally stirring. The story helps to understand the point of view from both the sides, that is our side and their side!
The story progresses smoothly and effortlessly as the various plots converge. The language is crisp and clear and paints a vivid description of the scene/plot.
Though I thoroughly enjoyed reading this thriller, I found a few things which I believe fell short of in the story. I felt that the clues were deciphered way too easily. While both the book blurb and the cover showcases Mehrunisa as the protagonist but it is someone else who steals the show in the end. Also, I felt that the ending was a little bit hurried.
Having said that, I loved the thrills along with the twists and turns in The Hunt for Kohinoor and would love to read the first book in the series, The Taj Conspiracy too.
If you are looking for a fast paced thriller which is full of insights, action, adventure and suspense, go for The Hunt for Kohinoor. Definitely a must read.

Pellet is composed of small cylinders of the size of 6 - 12 mm, obtained by subjecting the wood sawdust at very high pressure. The pellet is then a totally natural and economical product: these are the reasons why it has become in recent years one of the most widely used biomass. The pellets are packed in bags of 10-15 kg, space saving, that facilitate transportation. In addition to having a high heating capacity, pellet is extremely light, compact and easy to find. The same is used for domestic purposes, but also for industrial ones: in that case it can be stored in large quantities in silos, ensuring autonomy. Unique Tip: keep the pellets away from sources of moisture to ensure better conservation.
The pellet is an ecological fuel derived from waste from the working of virgin timber: sawdust and shavings. Dried and pressed in order to obtain small cylinders of varying length, it is not treated with harmful glues or paints, since in its manufacturing lignin is used as a binder, a substance naturally present in the wood. Due to the low moisture content, the pellet has a high calorific energy, a great autonomy of combustion and lower emissions. It is a renewable resource and its combustion does not increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Storage of pellets is easily manageable if you properly evaluate its volumes: it allows long storage periods without its peculiar properties being adversely affected.

Alexander Drilon, MD, discusses the utility of brigatinib in ALK-positive non–small cell lung cancer.
Alexander Drilon, MD, research director, Early Drug Development, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses the utility of brigatinib (Alunbrig) in ALK-positive non—small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Brigatinib is a next-generation TKI designed to have activity against wild-type ALK fusions and other treatment-related resistance mechanisms, says Drilon. In April 2017, the FDA granted an accelerated approval to brigatinib for the treatment of patients with ALK-positive metastatic NSCLC who are resistant to or intolerant of crizotinib (Xalkori).
Updated results from the randomized phase III ALTA-1L trial show that brigatinib leads to superior progression-free survival versus the prior standard of care crizotinib in patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC who had not received a prior ALK inhibitor. Findings from the trial showed that brigatinib led to a 51% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death versus crizotinib by blinded independent review committee (BIRC) assessment (HR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.35-0.68; log-rank P <.0001).
The BIRC-assessed median progression-free survival was 24.0 months (95% CI, 18.5—NE) with brigatinib versus 11.0 months (95% CI, 9.2-12.9) with crizotinib. The BIRC-assessed objective response rate was 74% and 62% with brigatinib and crizotinib, respectively.
Additionally, brigatinib demonstrated meaningful central nervous system activity and led to a 69% reduction in the risk of intracranial disease progression or death in patients who had brain metastases at baseline (HR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.17-0.56).


With a booming tourist industry, there is no shortage of ways to commemorate your trip to Singapore. Here we’ve rounded up a list of places to find souvenirs scattered across the city, at various price points. One is even open 24 hours!
An extension of the Bugis Street made famous by Leonard Cohen, here you’ll find the Bugis Street Market. With hundreds of tightly packed stalls, this market feels a bit like Bangkok’s Chatuchak market. Here you’ll find a great selection of cheap souvenirs including Singapore printed tote bags, T-shirts, purses, sunglasses and more. What many people don’t realise is that there are multiple floors, so head upstairs to get the full experience.
Chinatown is the best neighbourhood for the budget traveller, with everything from cheap food to accommodation to souvenirs. Head to Pagoda Street, where you’ll find a mix of cliche Singapore kitsch — think t-shirts with the slogan “Singapore is a FINE city” with a list of things you can be fined for, or Merlions in every conceivable iteration. If you need to buy souvenirs in bulk, look out for the store ‘3 for $10’.
Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the size of several city blocks, the rumour is that you can buy literally anything at the Mustafa Centre in Little India. They have a large collection of Singapore souvenirs; some of our favourites are the small wooden tea boxes with Singapore icons and durian chocolates (if you don’t actually like the person you’re buying the souvenirs for!)
Haji Lane is the place to head for more subtle souvenirs. The narrow alley of shophouses is home to many local designers. Here you’ll find all kinds of jewellery, clothing and accessories that may not have “Singapore” printed on them, but they were actually made here.
Conveniently located along Orchard Road, Singapore’s busiest shopping district, visitors who are ready to haggle should head to Lucky Plaza. The mall is one of the oldest in Singapore and has hundreds of small shops packed into its corridors. Be on the lookout for camera and phone accessories, magnets, scarves and more.
For visitors staying on Singapore’s east coast, head to the giant Joo Chiat Complex to find authentic Malay stores. The souvenirs here are much more unique than those sold in Chinatown or Little India. Travellers who love to embrace the fashions of the places they visit should look out for traditional Malay clothing. Some of the shops in the mall also carry Peranakan souvenirs, including traditional pottery and jewellery.

As mentioned in May 22nd’s post, Saving the Interior of the Plaza Hotel, New York City isn’t known just for its landmarked buildings, but also its scenic historical sites, as well. Brooklyn’s 585-acre Prospect Park is a hybrid of built structures, planned landscapes, and natural areas left relatively unchanged. The Park features wooded and paved trails, open lawns, a lake and streams, Brooklyn’s only forest, rolling hills, and ball fields, among other recreational and educational facilities.
Prior to establishing Prospect Park, Brooklynites visited Green-Wood Cemetery to find a little outdoor recreational space. The inappropriateness of using a cemetery for leisure activities soon became apparent, as evidenced by the rules listed on this pass for visiting Green-Wood, to the right.
James Stranahan, a business and civic leader, was an early advocate of establishing a park in Brooklyn. With significant real estate interests in Brooklyn, he hoped a park would help…

The ad states that job creation in Massachusetts “fell” to 47th under Romney. That’s a bit misleading. Massachusetts’ state ranking for job growth went from 50th the year before he took office, to 28th in his final year. It was 47th for the whole of his four-year tenure, but it was improving, not declining, when he left.
The ad claims Romney “left the state $2.6 billion deeper in debt.” It’s true that long-term bond debt — used for capital improvements — rose under Romney, as it had in the years before he took office. But Romney wasn’t piling up yearly deficits to support operating expenses the way the federal government is, because Massachusetts requires balanced budgets.
Today, the Obama campaign is following-up on last week's ad - not to correct it, but to continue to sling mud in Romney's general direction. The AP notes that "the ad is selective in its economic data. The Massachusetts economy improved slightly while Romney was governor but its average employment growth was among the nation's worst."
It's all part of the Obama campaign's attempt to relegate the issue of the economy to the back burner and sweep his own economic record under the rug. In the wake of a terrible jobs report last week, President Obama needs all the help he can get - and if he has to distort the truth to do it, so be it.

The Mitsubishi Canter is a light truck produced by the Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi Motors. It was originally introduced in 1963 as a commercial vehicle and since then has undergone several revisions and redesigns. The latest version of the Canter was introduced in 2013 and is still in production.
The Mitsubishi Canter is available in a variety of body styles including panel van, cab chassis, and crew cab. It is powered by a range of diesel engines and is available with both manual and automatic transmissions. The Canter is known for its reliability and durability, and is a popular choice for both commercial and private users.
If you’re looking for a light truck that is both reliable and affordable, then the Mitsubishi Canter is definitely worth considering.
That’s not to say that that the Mitsubishi Canter is without its faults. In this article, we take a look at the most common problems found on the Mitsubishi Canter and answer the question: is the Mitsubishi Canter reliable?
Mitsubishi Canter Engine Problems
There have been issues reported concerning the Mitsubishi Canter losing power, and this seems to often be the result of the air filter clogging, or possibly from a faulty turbine. Furthermore, it seems to be common with the Mitsubishi Canter for a turbo to fail, often caused by overheating. There are additionally cases of the turbo breather pipe displacing, which then can cause the engine to fail.
In defence of the Mitsubishi Canter engines, many issues can often be avoided through regular servicing and maintenance, and by addressing any small issues before they cause larger problems.
It is fairly common for the Mitsubishi Canter to have problems with the injectors, which often result in the van over-consuming fuel, and sometimes even emitting black smoke. The issues seem to be due to the injectors getting wet and then corroding onto the head.
Mitsubishi Canter Gearbox problems
The Mitsubishi Canter range features a wide variety of manual and automatic gearboxes gearbox. It can be common for the Mitsubishi Canter gearbox mountings to wear and need replacing. Other common Mitsubishi Canter gearbox issues can include the pin in the selector spindle coming out, and the vehicle jumping out of gear. It is not unusual for the gearbox to need replacing.
Mitsubishi Canter Starting problems
One of the most common problems with the Mitsubishi Canter is starting problems. This can be caused by a number of factors, including a dead battery, bad spark plugs, or a faulty starter motor. If this happens, it’s important to have the problem diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible.
How many miles can a Mitsubishi Canter last?
Mitsubishi Canter are reasonably reliable and can last for many miles if well maintained and serviced on schedule. Looking on AutoTrader, the highest mileage Mitsubishi Canter has covered an impressive 160,000 miles, so that should give an idea of how long they can last.

“So what do you do?”
This banal question we ask to get to know one another can spark an existential crisis.
There is much more to us than our careers and yet we define ourselves by them.
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
From an early age, we are trained to think in terms of what we are going to be - doctor, lawyer, engineer, and so on. Once we do, our lives are spent reverse engineering one of those identities.
Careers are what we have to show for all of our hard work. Tens of thousands of dollars, years and years of study, all invested into building the foundation for what will be the work we dedicate decades of our lives to.
It should be no surprise then, that our careers have reached a status in our lives equal to religion. This phenomenon has been termed workism by Derek Thompson of The Atlantic.
“It is the belief that work is not only necessary to economic production, but also the centerpiece of one’s identity and life’s purpose; and the belief that any policy to promote human welfare must always encourage more work.”
The foundation of leadership and personal development literature pushes people to find where they can “add value.” When you add value, the logic goes, people will reward you with certificates of appreciation (a euphemism for money).
In this way, our self-worth becomes predicated on the value we produce. Disproportionate pay for CEO’s is justified with the same rationale - they get the big bucks because they add the most value. The metric for what deems someone a successful person is how much wealth they can generate.
Beyond the economics, this is a deeply rooted cultural issue as well. For example, how many families specify that their children can only marry a doctor? A certain career title or a particular level of potential income becomes a prerequisite discussion to a person’s faith, character, or other qualities.
All of this creates pressure to succeed … or at least make it look like we are. Everywhere you look are new wannabe entrepreneurs and social influencers all espousing some form of hustle culture. #HustleHarder, #RiseAndGrind, and other such captivating hashtags take over Instagram.
If you work hard enough, you can achieve anything. Work itself becomes the fulfillment of spiritual purpose. We don’t just have jobs, we have callings - which we promote on social media.
Shows like Shark Tank and Dirty Jobs (please listen to this amazing podcast episode by CItations Needed exposing Mike Rowe’s Koch Backed Worker Affectation) continue to propagate the myth of the American Dream. If you work hard enough, anything is possible. The entrepreneurs who gain the most praise from the ‘sharks’ are those who go all in - empty out their life savings, work without taking a salary, and spend 24/7/365 building their business.
“Either you’re slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot” - Notorious B.I.G.
The hustle narrative conveniently ignores a large number of societal and systemic issues. Not everyone has equal opportunity. We do not live in a meritocracy. How is a person that works 80 hours a week at minimum wage supposed to ‘hustle harder’ when they’re still below the poverty line? Where is their upward mobility?
There is an aspect of hustle culture that feels exploitative, especially when it is pushed hardest by those who stand to gain the most from it.
Elon Musk, who stands to reap stock compensation upward of $50 billion if his company, Tesla, meets certain performance levels, is a prime example of extolling work by the many that will primarily benefit him. He tweeted ... that there are easier places to work … “but nobody ever changed the world on 40 hours a week.” The correct number of hours “varies per person,” he continued, but is “about 80 sustained, peaking about 100 at times. Pain level increases exponentially above 80.” -Why Are Young People Pretending to Love Work?
This exploitation happens when the expectation of a job changes from making a living to our purpose and full self-actualization of our human potential. Everyone must aim to change the world, follow their dreams, and only work on things they are passionate about. The elite narrative is one that pushes us to put purpose over paycheck. They stand to gain the most from this arrangement while convincing us we are making a worthy sacrifice.
Social media hustle culture becomes a type of performance art or an escape. It is a defense mechanism people turn to when it feels like there is no alternative. Hustle “serve[s] as a smokescreen for real, structural problems in the modern workplace. “No amount of grifting or endless working” will help alleviate the gender pay gap…” (Rise, Grind, and Ruin)” Many in the workforce are saddled with crippling student loan debts, healthcare costs, and wage stagnation. The only way to close this gap is hustling more hours in a gig economy for inadequate pay - the average Uber driver does not earn enough to qualify for a living wage. These “real life” situations are what force people, such as fresh law school graduates, into taking corporate law positions working 60+ hours a week instead of ‘changing the world’ and pursuing their calling as they originally hoped. It’s why, Jeffrey Pfeffer argues in his book Dying for a Paycheck, that people put up with work-stress, lack of balance, and toxic environments to make a living.
“There is something slyly dystopian about an economic system that has convinced the most indebted generation in American history to put purpose over paycheck.”-The Religion of Workism
The consequence of this lifestyle is a lack of meaningful purpose. Even those who have succeeded, so to speak, still work long hours because they know no other life. Work and money is a scorecard to measure themselves against their peers.
Economist Umair Haque makes the point that this has caused people to turn to solutions like meditation and mindfulness as a form of spiritual heroin - “The passivity of meditation is the perfect antidote, the ultimate American response to aggressively cruel capitalism. Why? It’s personal responsibility taken to an extreme, isn’t it? You are hurt profoundly by broken institutions and failed leaders. What should you do? Challenge them? Rebel? No, go meditate. It’s your responsibility to not feel any pain. To numb it, escape it, bury it.”
Which brings us back to the question that started this all in the first place.
“So what do you do?”
Step outside the existing system and framework to redefine what maximizing your potential looks like. What is the long view of what you want to accomplish? Ultimately, for a Muslim, it means living a life such that is spent in service to Allah (swt).
Instead of sacrificing to hustle harder, it may mean sacrificing hustle for something more important. It might be turning down that jet set consulting job that pays more in order to spend more time with family. It could be a mom choosing to stay home to raise her kids even though she is an accomplished professional.
We need to be far more introspective than we are at assessing what priorities really matter to us. Things like family can get devalued. The day to day hustle of doing the dishes and changing diapers isn’t easily glorified on Instagram. Making seemingly small sacrifices with family is easily rationalized in pursuit of providing them a better life. The negative consequences of this on family relationships are often not felt until years later when it is too late to fix.
“If the decisions you make about where you invest your blood, sweat, and tears are not consistent with the person you aspire to be, you’ll never become that person.” -Clayton Christensen, How Will You Measure Your Life?
Christensen also makes the point that high achievers in particular focus a lot on what type of person they want to be at work, but not as much as what type of person they want to be at home. Life is not meant to be compartmentalized in this way, it is all tied together.
Meaning can be found in work but it doesn't have to be found in work. Sometimes a job is just a job or a way to make a living. Many times it might not be the most enjoyable thing, but it is the responsible way to enable you to pursue meaning in other areas of life.
One area that gets overlooked is friendship. Islam emphasizes maintaining good company and building the bonds of brotherhood, sisterhood, and community. We need a renewed focus on building stronger relationships with people outside of work. How many friendships have we let go of because we were too busy?
Gratitude is an element missing from hustle culture. Worrying about purpose and meaning in a career is a luxury afforded only after basic life needs are met. Thanking Allah for what you have even when dissatisfied with your situation is actually a means of improving that situation.
"If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]" (14:7).
Does all this mean we should eschew hard work? No, but we need to reframe the story we tell ourselves about hard work. We need to stop fetishizing hard work, as Nat Eliason says, and constantly making ourselves feel bad for not hustling hard enough.
The approach of the Muslim is to tie the camel, and then trust in Allah. Results require hard work but don’t come from hard work. A basketball player can spend 12 hours a day in the gym working on their game and working hard to win a championship, but only Allah can make them 6’10”.
A mindset of barakah (blessing) instead of hustle shifts the story from working to please our own egos to working hard to please Allah.
Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal was asked by his son when they would finally relax after facing a lifetime of difficulty and hardship, and he responded, "With the first step we take into Jannah."

'Dear #ULTRADAD' is an emotional ad launched by beer brand Michelob ULTRA. The commercial was launched last year just in time for Father's Day and spotlights father figures who are presented with a letter of thanks from those who want to show their appreciation. Featured are a coach, a mentor and a stepdad who read each letter with tears in their eyes.
Aiming to celebrate father figures that helped shape individuals -- with not just biological dads featured -- Michelob ULTRA's compelling commercial is emotional, heartfelt and inspiring. The ad was shared alongside a #ULTRADAD hashtag which invited consumers to share who inspired them on their social media channels.
In addition, the beer brand donated $1 from every sale during the holiday to Up2Us Sports -- a coaching and mentorship organization which provides training opportunities to help better the lives of youth while encouraging youth. .

How could I transfer my BAT to external exchanges in South Korea?
In South Korea, trading cryptocurrency directly with overseas exchanges has been banned.
Absolutely, I cannot create an account on Gemini or Uphold, which requires payment method registration. Transactions with foreign exchanges are also forbidden.
Although I am able to use Binance as my default exchange, but I should move my cryptocurrencies from Korean exchanges first.
When could people connect their BAT in brave rewards and Binance accounts, not Gemini or Uphold?

Of all the pictures, of all the memories, of all the moments, this is the one I will never forget. All three of the children together Christmas morning 2007. It was beautiful and it brought me such joy. There was no package, no gift, no thing that could mean more to this mommy's heart. My Christmas wish was granted and my prayers were answered. God has been so very good to me.
Christmas was more magical than ever for me this year. I would find myself sitting back away from the group watching those that I love the most enjoy the company of one another. My eyes filled with tears more than once and I would fight back the urge to break down and cry. My heart was so full!
My sisters and I were up the entire night of Christmas Eve. We had so much fun as we prepared the house and the packages for our families. We laughed until we cried(literally). We talked and talked and talked. I love Christmas with my family. I couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect holiday. The later it got the funnier things became. The early it got the sillier we became. Around 6:00a.m. we found ourselves sitting around the table talking about Mary and Joseph and all they must have experienced that night. It was beautiful.
The festivities were set to begin at 8:30. My nephew Jake was the first up. He was so cheery. He always is. Next awake was my Blake. The smile on his face as he wiped the sleep from his eyes was priceless. For a while it was just the two of those guys and then the girls began to stir. All in their matching jammies they filtered into the living room hair a mess, eyes full of sleep, and smiles on their faces. Ashley Kate had no interest in waking that early. She was allowed to snore until the last person awoke and had found their spot in the living room.
Our morning began with the reading of the Christmas story by Uncle Gene. It wouldn't be Christmas without it. After the reading the stockings were passed out and the magic began. The eyes of the children lit up as they dug into their surprises. Stockings are a BIG part of our Christmas tradition. Ashley settled on one item in hers and allowed her daddy to empty the rest. She was so funny.
As the gifts were opened and the day continued our family enjoyed each others company. We laughed and played until late that night. My sisters and I were actually playing a round of sequence as the clock ticked the last few minutes of Christmas 2007 away. It was magical!
We were so blessed! Dave and I couldn't have been happier. Blake, Allie, and Ashley were together. That's all we had prayed for.
Dave, Ash , and I left for home on the 26th. We made the drive back to Texas so Dave could be in the office by Thursday. Blake and Al stayed in Oklahoma to extend their visit with their cousins. They will be home some time next week.
Ashley Kate looks really good. She is so happy! Her output has slowed and she has not required any type of replacement fluids in almost a week. She continues to have a cold. I imagine she will have it for a long while. Her little system doesn't really have the ability to kick like the rest of us do. We are busy setting up her new appointments, therapy schedule and routines. As I type she sits on her daddy's lap wrestling with him with all shes got. Her cheeks are rosy and her eyes are twinkling. She is a happy, happy girl and we are so happy she is here with us. We just love her so much.
I hope your holiday was blessed. I hope you were with those that you love the most and that you made memories to hold in your hearts for a life time. Life is good and we are more than blessed. Thank you for loving us this holiday season and for being a part of the family that prayed Ashley Kate home for Christmas. You are loved. Trish

The all-electric MotoE series has been running three years strong now, supporting the top MotoGP championship at a handful of races per year. It’s a spec series where all teams use the same bike — the Energica Ego Corsa — that offers about 160 horsepower and has clocked as much as 257 km/h at some tracks on the calendar. That’s quite a ways off from the 354 km/h that the premier-class rockets hit on Mugello’s mega-long straight, but then MotoE is still in its infancy, and the racing is nevertheless fun to watch.
Energica, an Italian brand, will end its involvement as the series’ lone supplier after the end of the 2022 season. From 2023 on, Ducati will take over. Its prototype for the 2023 campaign — tentatively dubbed the V21L — has recently been trialed around the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli with test rider Michele Pirro at the handlebars. The company released the first images of the machine in action on Monday.
It’s too early to tell if the V21L will pose any marked performance advantage over Energica’s bike, but it certainly looks like it belongs at the track. Many electric bikes are almost visually identical to their gas-powered counterparts — save, of course, for the lack of an engine and exhaust pipes. But on a racing bike with fairings covering a sizable portion of the profile, you don’t get to see in quite as much, and the differences are harder to suss out.
In building the V21L and partnering with FIM, the governing body overseeing MotoE, Ducati isn’t trying to distract from the fact that battery-electric bikes still have a very long way to go. The number one priority to its engineers is mitigating the weight of the pack while extending capability. To do that, Ducati’s paid special attention to one particular area of the package: cooling.
Ducati’s goal is to make electric motorcycles that are high-performance and characterised by their lightness available to all FIM Enel MotoE World Cup participants. The focus of the project are, in addition to better performance, the containment of weight and the consistency of power delivery during the race, obtained thanks to the attention in the development of a cooling system suitable for the objective.
Ducati, of course, has yet to produce an electric motorcycle available to consumers, even as its parent company has gone all-in with electrification for its road cars. A venture like this could help set the brand on the right path for the future, and teach it some things about building battery-powered two-wheelers along the way. As for MotoE, getting an established brand on board with its mission will probably draw at least a few more eyeballs to the show every weekend.

I was very impressed by the quality of our invitations and the speedy delivery! Thank you!
Absolutely perfect! Q.U.A.L.I.T.Y.
Tammy S. from MI wrote on April 24, 2012:
These invitations and response cards are perfect. I wanted simple and affordable and I got more than I bargained for. I ordered a (free) sample of this invitation and a few others and it was by far the best quality. It was not a folded invite - simply one sheet of thick quality paper. The writing was raised and had a beautiful glisten (not glittery though)from when the ink is heated. I chatted with the online rep and she answered a thousand questions before I placed my order. The font I used, Florens, was legible and the navy ink was worth a little extra money. The ink is also raised on the response cards, but not on the return address on the rsvp envelopes (which was totally fine). I had the option to have double envelopes and I took it because I couldn't beat the price! Plus, it looks so much nicer.There were so many options to personalize my invites too. I used custom wording and there was a second tab to choose the size of the font, color, and accents. I put everything in the shopping cart and waited a few days until they sent me a better coupon - then I completed my order ($15 off and free shipping that was $19.99). All in all, I spent a third of my invitation budget and got exactly what I wanted. Better yet, my order was processed and at my office within 5 days with ground shipping and everything was in perfect condition and professionally packaged. I couldn't be more pleased.Thank you, Ann's Bridal Bargain!
Simple and beautiful
Kim from DC wrote on July 28, 2011:

Apple TV Bigger than Cinema Display, Comes with Siri and FaceTime (Rumor)
The long running rumor about an Apple TV device, which has Siri and FaceTime equipped, has surfaced yet again. This time the boys at Cult of Mac claim to have got the information from a well placed source, who informed them of the Siri and FaceTime packed Apple TV. Everyone these days have a well placed source, so we can't tell how genuine this is, it would be nice if the rumor turned out to be legitimate.
Siri and FaceTime on an Apple TV set would allow users to control the device with verbal commands without the need of a remote, along with making video calls to supported Apple FaceTime devices. Another cool features mentioned is the ability of the camera to track faces and zoom in on them for Facetime calls, though we're not sure how useful such a feature would be.
According to Cult of Mac source:
"The Apple HDTV makes FaceTime calls using the built-in iSight camera. The camera is sophisticated, with facial recognition and the ability to zoom into the user's face and follow them as they walk around the room. This allows users to make video calls from the couch across the room, rather than having to stand smack in front of the TV.
In addition, calls are initiated by Siri, the iPhone 4S's virtual assistant. "[Apple] used Siri to make a FaceTime call," the source said."
Sound good to us.
An analyst who spoke to Cult of Mac said Apple could release two to four Apple TV devices. The TVs are expected to support 1080p HD resolution. However, those who were expecting OLED or $4k tech inside are out of luck. When it comes to pricing, expect from $1,000 to $2000, though for some reason that seems a little bit too expensive. Yes, we know it's Apple, but selling a TV at those price ranges won't cut it.
We have no idea when this device will see the light of day, though a 2013 release date seems likely.
