Today marks the fifty-sixth anniversary of the ‘May 16th Notification’ (1966) that effectively began the Cultural Revolution in China that brought such devastation that “In 1981, the Communist Party itself declared that the Cultural Revolution had ‘brought serious disaster and turmoil to the Communist Party and the Chinese people’.”*
And what was the “great” agenda of that Revolution?
The Red Guards were determined to rid China of the so-called ‘Four Olds’ – old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas. Spurred on by Mao’s desire for a ‘great disorder’, the Red Guards shut down and sometimes looted religious buildings, burned books, destroyed historical sites, and even desecrated the grave of Confucius.*
Do we think the like cannot happen here? Except, it already is — under The Great [WEF] Reset. “Old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas” are already under unrelenting attack. What is not, both virtually and physically, being looted, burned, destroyed, and desecrated every day? What is not being turned upside down for the sake of a “great disorder” to necessitate and justify a “great new order”?
And all you hidden elites, “anointed” leaders, doppelgängers, and front-line servitors of the new/old Revolution — do not forget:
Senior party officials [and their servitors] were not exempt from the purges and violence of the Cultural Revolution,*
And to all the rest of us, let us ask, repeatedly and deafeningly: BY WHAT AUTHORITY do these so-called powers impose their imaginations and ideas upon the world? They have all become usurpers and deceivers; or the servitors of usurpers and deceivers. They deserve our prayers — firstly, for God-given experiences to bring them to repentance, but if they refuse, let our prayers and actions seek their exposure and accountability through justice and judgment — remembering always, that we do not resist evil with evil.
Please — people, servitors, and alleged powers: Wake up and smell the acrid smoke!
Let us ALL repent, even as Ninevah of old.**

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity has been announced by Nintendo via a new trailer. And with this new sequel to Breath of the Wild, Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma says, “You’ll have to wait a bit longer.” But at the very least, we know the game is coming and we got a glimpse of it. And no, it’s not just some measly expansion pack for the other games in the series.
Players will get to do battle with hundreds of enemies within the Musou style of games, taking on tons of enemies at once. The world is in strife, and you’re going to need to fight hard to save it. The details are pretty scarce, but we can expect a stylish fighting game complete with special moves and combos aplenty at the very least. The genre could really use a shakeup after the flop that was the most recent Dynasty Warriors games.
Check out the trailer for the new sequel down below.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity will continue the story of the legendary Hyrule soon. The game will release on November 20 for the Nintendo Switch, where players can take on a new battle. The Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity story is pretty cool, and looks like a whole new enemy has come to wreck Hyrule. The new game is set 100 years before Breath of the Wild, and it will see players dealing with the nonsense of another new and powerful foe.
The story will star the player taking on massive armies in some fashion, with a quick glimpse of 1 warrior versus a 1,000 person army in the new trailer. We didn’t see much else behind the game from this trailer though. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity would also get some DLC that could expand this scope. There’s some vagueness to those plans, as Nintendo hasn’t been to clear on things like that. We should expect things like new fighters and stages though, as those are pretty fitting for the genre.
Whether the new sequel will blend open-world elements like its predecessor is unknown, but at the very least fans are hopeful for some RPG-like mechanics that tie this game closer to Breath of the Wild.

My customer wanted a brighter white (without as much yellow as Annie Sloan Old White) for a very sweet vintage dresser makeover. I wrote a post last week on how to take the yellow out of Old White (HERE) but for this piece, I went with the clean and fresh Annie Sloan Pure White.
I didn’t take a proper “before” but you can see the dresser in the background here:
This dresser had been sanded back to its original wood finish by the owner so it didn’t have a base coat to paint over. I don’t like to apply shellac to prevent bleed through. Instead, I first applied a few coats of Pure White directly onto the wood. I then applied one coat of General Finishes Flat Out Flat topcoat. This allowed the next coat of Pure White to cover beautifully. No bleed through!
I sanded it back with 220 grit sandpaper to give it a super smooth finish, very lightly distressed it and sealed the paint with Annie Sloan clear wax for that hand rubbed finish. New glass drawer pulls were the perfect finishing touch!
Simple and fresh pure white!
Who would have thought of Flat our Flat to prevent bleeding! Lovely piece. I have a question also. Looking though your site I saw the makeover of two pieces of furniture with duck egg blue and Martha Stewart gold. There was a comment you replied to saying you would do a tutorial on the gold trim. It was dated back in 2015 so I looked thru your site but can’t find one. Could you direct me please!
Hi Mari – here it is and best of luck on your project! https://youtu.be/GGSm_L-7rXA
Marie from The Interior Frugalista
Great tip to prevent bleed through, Suzanne. Love the simplicity of the white paired with those gorgeous glass knobs. Very pretty makeover! Pinning
Thank you Marie!


Wearable devices are gaining traction, with estimates that more than 175 million will be in use by 2018. Today, one in five Americans own such a device, and one in 10 wears one daily (PwC). Most HR and IT departments have little concern for employees’ use of these devices. We don’t think of them as having a hard drive with sensitive data, or WiFi or cellular activity. In fact, no continuous connection to the Internet. You may want to think twice.

The ADA Board of Trustees has named Raymond A. Cohlmia, DDS, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the organization’s next executive director. He will begin his term on November 15.
Cohlmia’s selection concludes a robust search process that began when current executive director Kathleen T. O’Loughlin, DMD, MPH, announced she would retire in 2021. Cohlmia will begin onboarding for his new position on October 1.
“The American Dental Association is excited to welcome Dr. Cohlmia as its new executive director. In addition to a breadth of experience in dental practice and education, his many years of service in organized dentistry made him a standout candidate,” said ADA president Daniel J. Klemmedson, DDS, MD.
“Dr. Cohlmia is widely respected in the dental community for his thoughtfulness, dedication, and service-oriented approach to leadership. With these qualities, as well as his proven background, he is well-suited to help the ADA drive dentistry forward and into the future,” Klemmedson said.
Cohlmia joined the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry faculty in 2009, serving in a variety of leadership positions. In 2011, he was named director of comprehensive care, and he served as assistant dean for patient care from 2013 until he was appointed dean in 2015. Previously, he ran a successful private dental practice for 26 years, the ADA said.
“I am humbled and honored to be selected as the next executive director of the American Dental Association. I have always believed that organized dentistry plays an integral role in the advancement of the profession, and to me, there is no better organization to advocate for oral health than the American Dental Association,” said Cohlmia.
“Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with the ADA in multiple roles. That, combined with my time spent in private practice and as an educator, will benefit me greatly in this new position. I am excited about the opportunities ahead with the American Dental Association, and I look forward to working together with its many members to advance both the organization and the profession,” he said.
An active leader in the dental community at the local, state, and national levels, the ADA said, Cohlmia served on the ADA Board of Trustees from 2015 to 2019 and as president of his state dental association in 2001 and local dental society in 1997. Also, he served as chair of the ADA’s New Dentist Committee and Council on Membership in 1999 and 2007, respectively.
Additional ADA appointments over the years include the Council on Annual Sessions, the Council on Dental Benefits, and the American Dental Political Action Committee. Cohlmia also has represented his district as a delegate to the ADA’s House of Delegates.
Cohlmia, who earned his dental degree from the OU College of Dentistry, will be leaving his position as dean to take on the new role with the ADA.
“My experience at the OU College of Dentistry has been instrumental in preparing me for this new role with the American Dental Association,” said Cohlmia.
During his term as dean, Cohlmia served an integral role in the college’s Legacy Project, a $20 million capital campaign. He also led the college through a change in curriculum, converting to a comprehensive care clinical education model. Additionally, under his leadership, the college has seen a record number of applications for the dental program and a record number of patients served each year.
“Dean Cohlmia is a transformative leader for the OU College of Dentistry, achieving recognition as one of the top dental programs in the country,” said Jason R. Sanders, MD, MBA, senior vice president and provost of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.
“Dr. Cohlmia likewise is a leader for our OU Health Sciences Center and a trusted ambassador for dental professionals across Oklahoma. We are tremendously proud for his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at the American Dental Association to advance dentistry and oral health across the nation and globe,” Sanders said.
“This is an incredible honor and an opportunity that will allow me to serve the entire dental profession. It is, however, bittersweet. I am proud to be a part of the OU College of Dentistry and am confident the college will maintain its tradition of clinical excellence moving forward. I will forever be indebted to this college, this university, and the people of Oklahoma,” he said.

Leeds United will look to bounce back from back to back Championship defeats when they visit Brentford tomorrow.
Marcelo Bielsa’s men have won just one of their last six league games, losing four, and are now level on points with third-placed Fulham.
Only two points separate Leeds from fifth-placed Brentford, and former Elland Road favourite Pontus Jansson is hoping the Whites lose every game now so that his side can pass them in the table.
The Swedish centre-back fell out with Bielsa at Leeds last season and was allowed to join Brentford in the summer.
Jansson insists he still loves Leeds, though, and wants them to earn Premier League promotion, but tomorrow’s clash is all about helping his team to much-needed victory – one that would further deal a blow on the Whites’ ambitions.
“If I could choose the top two teams to go up, I’d choose us and them [Leeds], of course. I still have Leeds on my heart – that does not change just because I left,” the Sweden international told The Guardian.
“I will love Leeds until I die, and the same with Brentford. But I’d be lying if I said I don’t want Leeds to lose every game now, because I want us to pass them in the table.
“I still have a lot of friends in the team, I talk to the owner and some of the staff, so I want the best for them, but it is difficult when you are fighting against them for the top two spots.”
Jansson joined Leeds from Torino in 2016, and went on to make 120 appearances, including 44 last season after establishing himself as a key player for the Whites.
He made the Championship Team of the Year last season and has been brilliant for the Bees this term.
Brentford boast of the Championship’s best defensive record – 25 goals shipped in 31 games – and the former Leeds star has definitely played a huge role.

Anyway, the screen shots are pretty and the technical articles are a fun and informative read, but the biggest question on my mind was an intangible one: is it fun? The answer turned out to be a resounding "yes!" After the game came out last week, I fired up the Xbox at the office and took Duels for a proverbial spin.
What Is It?
Duels is a slick interface for playing Magic against a surprisingly sophisticated AI, as well as against friends and strangers on Xbox LIVE. It features a single-player campaign, a Two-Headed Giant co-op campaign, custom duels against the AI, and two-, three-, and four-player multiplayer games on Xbox LIVE. It also features a series of "Challenges"—puzzles very much like the old Magic: The Puzzling—that drop you into a game scenario in which you have one turn to win against a tapped-out AI opponent.
The basic structure of the campaign is similar to a fighting game—you face Chandra, say, then Liliana, then Elspeth. Several times, you face the same opponent again with a more advanced deck. You start with either Garruk's deck (a straightforward mono-green attack deck) or Chandra's deck (red burn plus goblins, hill giants, etc.); as you progress through the campaign, you unlock the decks of the opponents you face, as well as additional (often powerful) cards to add to the deck you're using.
The eight preconstructed decks are roughly balanced against each other (much like any of the Duel Decks). As you unlock cards for each deck, you choose which ones to add. They don't replace cards in the deck; the game adds lands as you add cards to keep a good ratio of lands to spells.
In other words, Duels is a game about playing Magic decks, not building them. If you want to tap into the infinite variability of Magic, tune your unique creation into the ultimate weapon, and take on all comers, Magic Online has you covered. For 800 Microsoft points—ten of your Earth dollars, at least here in the States—Duels isn't meant to deliver the entire universe of Magic. But for the same price as a Halo map pack, Duels gives you a lot of Magic, and the interface is simple enough that even your non-Magic-playing friends will be slinging spells in no time.
The interface is simple, but it does take a little getting used to. The tutorial is a big help, so I recommend going through it. Parts of it will be old news to you, familiar with Magic as you are. After the tutorial, there are pop-up hints; you can press B as each of these appear to turn off that particular hint.
You navigate from card to card with either of the two control sticks. The right control stick lets you toggle through your hand, the cards in play, or any player's graveyard. (Once you do get into a graveyard, you need to press B to get out again.) The left stick only takes you to cards you can interact with: cards in your hand, permanents with activated abilities you can play, and creatures you can currently select to attack or block with. Cards in your hand and creatures with activated abilities are highlighted. The left or right trigger zooms in on a card so you can read it. The direction pad ... uh, I think is there for old people who don't trust analog sticks, kind of the way I use the analog stick instead of the motion sensor when I play Mario Kart on the Wii.
The screen will tell you what the lettered buttons do at any given point. Generally, A selects a card to play or otherwise use; B goes back, withdrawing an attacker or blocker you've selected (if you're still declaring), zooming out, or whatever; Y continues to the next part of the turn; and X pauses the action so you can take your time responding to something.
At the tone, you will have three seconds to cast me …
In Duels, when a spell or ability is on the stack or combat damage is about to be dealt, you have a limited amount of time to take an action, indicated by a shrinking blue bar; you can press X to pause this timer, or you can just select the card you want to play within the time limit. This keeps the game moving at a good pace, but it also means you can't let your attention wander, lest you miss your chance to play that critical Giant Growth—as I did in a Two-Headed Giant game when I was chatting with my partner, and nearly lost because of it.
Creature status and abilities are indicated by various symbols and icons. Creatures with summoning sickness have a little swirly spiral over them. First strike is a sword, defender a broken sword, and double strike a two-headed axe. Flying is represented by two little wings, but it's also shown by having the creature hover over the playing surface. Trample is a bull's head, legendary is a crown, etc.
Spell effects and creature combat have illustrations and sounds, which are short enough and fun enough not to bog down, and are mostly skippable by pressing the Y button. There are also some neat subtle touches; the lighting changes to spotlight the player whose turn it is, and the lights dim and turn red during combat.
After going through the tutorial—again, a big help—my friend Laura and I started playing a few matches. She started off in the single-player campaign, facing off against Elspeth's white deck. Elspeth is heavy on Pacifisms and flyers, and she also packs Holy Day—watch out for that one, especially when playing Overrun out of Garruk's deck! Elspeth landed Suntail Hawk on turn one and suited it up with Holy Strength. Don't laugh—with a little help, the Hawk smashed Laura all the way down to 6 before she drew a Giant Spider to hold it off. Elspeth didn't have the Pacifism, and Laura was able to stabilize, throw down some big creatures, and pull it out. She played a few more games, unlocking additional cards—most notably Howl of the Night Pack, which she cast against Jace with eight Forests in play (after waiting until he tapped out to make sure he couldn't stop her with Cancel or Negate).
Laura and I then teamed up for some Two-Headed Giant. I was surprised and pleased to find that playing with a friend sitting on the same couch captures the same sort of fun as paper Two-Headed Giant—strategizing together, arguing over plays, and high-fiving when things go well.
At one point, we played against the unlikely team-up of Jace and Garruk. I had Garruk's deck, and Laura was using a black-green Elf deck courtesy of Nissa Revane, a proud, fierce elf who doesn't have a planeswalker card (yet). This was the game where we talked right through our chance to play Giant Growth for the win, leaving our opponents alive at 3 life and giving them a chance to take us out—always a danger against Garruk. If he drew Overrun ... but he didn't—and I did. I had just enough mana to get Blanchwood Armor on my Duskdale Wurm and play Giant Growth, while Laura contributed two Giant Growths to the cause. The result was an attack that dealt 55 damage, unlocking the "Devastator" achievement (deal 20 or more damage to an opponent in one turn).
One interface tip for 2HG: after your opponents play spells, one of you will need to press Y for the spell to actually hit the stack. If the opponent across from you plays the spell, you need to press it; if it's the opponent across from your partner, then your partner needs to press it. Nothing bad happens if you take too long, but it's easy to sit there waiting for something to happen when you're the one who's supposed to be pressing Y.
Laura wasn't crazy about Nissa's deck, but I quite liked the look of it—Imperious Perfect, Lys Alana Huntmaster, Eyeblight's Ending, Immaculate Magistrate, etc. I took it on as my main deck, while Laura settled on Ajani's three-color Naya deck as her deck of choice.
It was with Nissa's deck that I ventured out onto Xbox LIVE and played some matches. I had the best luck creating a match rather than joining an existing one. You can play two-player, three-player, four-player, or Two-Headed Giant, and you can even alter starting life totals and hand sizes if you want. When you've selected your deck and are ready for the game to start, you hit X to toggle your status to ready; when all players have done so, the game gets underway.
One of the interesting things about playing online is that while you can figure out which of the decks someone is playing basically right away, you don't have any idea which cards they've unlocked. Is Chandra going to bust out Flameblast Dragon, or do her threats top out at Earth Elemental? Hard to say ... so keep those Terrors handy.
It's also interesting to see Elvish Champion, Goblin King, and Coat of Arms (in Nissa's deck) at work in an environment with only eight decks. In one game, I had big plans to drop Coat of Arms and Elvish Champion when both I and another player playing Nissa had choked the board with Elves. I would then forestwalk over to kill that player before he or she could forestwalk me to death, then mop up everybody else. Someone using Liliana's deck messed that up for me by forcing me to discard, and I tossed the Coat of Arms. Happily, the other Nissa player slammed down Coat of Arms for me, and I happily returned the favor by dropping Elvish Champion as planned and smashing the Coat of Arms's owner to bits.
Laura and I wanted to try playing against each other, and the office computer lab has two Xboxes, so I set up a two-player match, set one slot to "private," and sent her a game invite using the Xbox Guide button. Not too hard—and if you invite a buddy whose Xbox is at a reasonable distance from yours, such as in a different house, you won't have to be as careful as we were about looking at each other's screens.
After a few good, close games, we split up again and started poking around in the Challenges. They're great—unlike conventional Magic puzzles, they have the huge advantage of taking place in the Duels engine with an AI opponent. You can plot and plan and run the math and only start pressing buttons when you've figured it out, but you can also just try the first solution that occurs to you and see what goes wrong. There's no penalty for trying a challenge over again.
In the normal game, the defaults—which you can change—are set so that you aren't given the option to Blaze your own creatures, target yourself with Blightning, etc. In the Challenges, those settings are turned off, and several of them require you to get quite clever as far as what you target with normally detrimental effects ....
I don't have an Xbox of my own, but after spending an afternoon with Duels, I'm tempted to get one. Duels is no substitute for paper Magic, or for Magic Online—it's a quick, slick way to get your Magic fix from the comfort of your own couch. If you have an Xbox, or know someone who does—even (perhaps especially) someone who doesn't play Magic—you should definitely check it out.

In the beginning, sporting cars were specialized tools: Purpose-built, open-wheel racers that proudly displayed their lightweight bodywork, upgraded brakes, and high-output powerplants. The push to constantly refine and maximize performance was captured perfectly by one of the most famous racing cars of the early era, La Jamais Contente (aka “Never Satisfied”), the first automobile of any kind to achieve a top speed of 100 km/hr.
Over time, this push for performance carried over to the rest of the automotive industry, and soon even regular passenger vehicles could surpass the French racecar’s once-astounding top speed of 62 miles per hour. This, in turn, only pushed OEMs to refine their top-of-the-line sports cars for all-out performance. Connoisseurs of speed have long favored the annual Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance as a natural home for sporting cars; RM Sotheby’s is pleased to present the following single-owner collection of performance coupes, all available at our annual Amelia Island auction on 22 May 2021:
1990 Porsche RUF ‘CTR’ Carrera 4
Estimate: $350,000 - $400,000 USD
This spectacular example shows the same “no-compromise” spirit that inspired builders of early overland race cars. Designed to be as serious a competitor on off-road hill climbs as it was on cross-country rallies, this example is one of two first ordered and owned by Steve and David Beddor, who along with their mother Marilyn made up one of America’s most well-known families of motorsport enthusiasts. Customized by Alois Ruf’s Pfaffenhausen-based Porsche speed shop, with enhancements too numerous to list here, all centered around RUF’s world-beating, 469-horsepower “Yellow Bird” engine, this four-wheel-drive, Kevlar-bodied Carrera is a rare, handmade product of air-cooled performance.
1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.8
Estimate: $750,000 - $850,000 USD
One of a limited release of 55 total RSR 3.8 chassis produced to comply with FIA homologation regulations, this example shows how OEMs like Porsche were re-invigorated to extract extreme performance from their already-fast sports cars throughout the 1990s. Starting with a strengthened 964 tub with welded seams, the Carrera RSR 3.8 was then shipped to Wilfried Matter to add a full, welded roll-cage. The extra chassis stability, plus all the downforce from the bi-lane, fiberglass rear spoiler, extracted the most from the classic rear-engine, air-cooled Carrera design. For many enthusiasts, this balance of motorsport-level abilities with factory support made examples like this RSR 3.8 the ultimate in Porsche performance.
2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG
Estimate: $325,000 - $375,000 USD
Soon, even formal brands like Mercedes-Benz were offering motorsport-spec sports cars to audiences eager for all-out performance. Co-developed with longtime collaborator AMG, Mercedes-Benz built 100 of these inspired sport coupes, all powered by the Affalterbach, Baden-Württemberg-based firm’s signature supercharged, 5.4-litre engine V-8 engine. 2005 also marked the year that the relationship between AMG and Mercedes-Benz became official, with the announcement of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, which serves as the brand’s premium performance tier to this day.
2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series
Estimate: $80,000 - $120,000 USD
Beloved by automotive journalists ranging from Doug DeMuro to Jeremy Clarkson, whose five-star review of the model led him to purchase an example of his own, the CLK 63 AMG provided an impressive introduction for the brand’s ultra-exclusive Black Series in North America. Car and Driver were equally impressed on the AMG’s international press launch at the Nürburgring, an international event which contributed to the competition between automakers to achieve ever faster lap times on the German circuit’s famously technical North Loop that started in the early 2000s and exists to this day. Examples like this sport a RACETIMER feature which even allows drivers to record laps at their favorite circuits, though matching Horst von Saurama’s 8:13 lap of the Nordschleife would be a difficult feat for any driver.
2012 Lexus LFA
Estimate: $425,000 - $500,000 USD
In view of the shine bestowed on brands like Ford after the launch of performance-oriented halo cars, the LFA was envisioned as a supercar that could embody the Lexus brand. A technological tour-de-force developed over a decade, the LFA showcased advanced practices of carbon fiber production as well as an even-firing V-10 powerplant that screams up to a 9,000 rpm redline. With company executives recently confirming they will not produce a sequel to the LFA, it only makes examples like this one all the more desirable. An inspired, front-engine supercar not to be repeated by any OEM in the near future, cars like this LFA stand as classics of modern performance.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX was briefly blocked by Twitter after he had posted tweet “Wanna buy some Bitcoin?” His tweet had featured an anime drawing of a girl wearing Bitcoin-themed clothing.
‘Twitter thought I got hacked & locked my account haha,’ Musk remarked.
Musk’s Twitter activity has received growing attention over the past few month. Billionaire actively communicates with followers and openly flirts with a young audience. On October 19, he posted a screenshot of a fake new on his buying the popular game Fortnite and ‘deleted it’ to protect players from ‘eternal virginity.’
Nevertheless, Several fake accounts have previously used images of Elon Musk. Last month, Elon Musk asked the creator of Dogecoin (DOGE) Jackson Palmer to pay attention to “annoying” cryptocurrency scammers on Twitter and come up with a way to combat with it.


After a short burst of rain, Columbus Park was beautiful one recent day.
Ducks and geese cavorted on a patch of grass, the water on the ground glinting in the sun while fellow fowl floated by in the looping pond on the park’s northeast corner. On the other side of the pond more than 100 West Side residents shared a healthy lunch and rested their legs in the Columbus Park refectory.
After a 5k walk organized by Building a Healthier Austin “brought the park district into the community,” the walk ended by bringing the community into the park to promote physical fitness and healthy eating.
“Walking is the best way to lose weight and to get … exercise,” said Victoria Prewitt, a Building a Healthier Austin board member who has lost over 20 pounds by implementing a daily walking routine.
Prewitt, who was joined in the Sept. 24th walk by her three daughters, was inspired to get involved with the group because “Austin has the highest rates of … hypertension, diabetes and obesity in the city.”
According to Building a Healthier Chicago, Austin has “disproportionately higher diabetes and stroke mortality rates compared to the rest of Chicago and the nation.”
Prewitt said it was conversations with Ald. Deborah Graham (29th) about addressing these issues that led her to get involved with Building a Healthier Austin.
Graham participated in the walk, too.
Part of the purpose of the event was to encourage younger Austin residents to be physically active, and students from Charles Allen Prosser Career Academy, Ella Flagg Young Elementary and John Hay Community Academy completed the walk.
“We had a lot of young people walk,” said Janice Henry, a community health nurse at Loretto Hospital.
The group was undeterred by the drizzle that marred part of the morning, and organizers said they were encouraged by the turnout.
“Overall, especially for our first time, I think we did a good job,” said Athena Williams, who is also on the board with Prewitt.
As they walked from La Follette Park to Columbus the group passed several curious onlookers who asked if the group was walking in support of any particular cause, to which Prewitt and others happily responded they were walking only to promote physical activity.
“It was a wonderful walk,” said Austin resident Mary Vargas who said she would “definitely” be participating in the next event hosted by Building a Healthier Austin.
Several of Vargas’ fellow walkers echoed her sentiment, saying they were “very glad” to have participated in the walk.
The Chicago Park District acted as a partner with Building a Healthier Austin, providing the refectory for the lunch and space for planned physical fitness demonstrations.
The rain made those demonstrations impossible because of the wet and muddy fields and the event ended earlier than expected, breaking up around 12 p.m. Part of the reason for the early ending was the group’s unexpectedly fast pace.
“The walk was really fast, we were thinking that we weren’t going to get [to the park] until 11:30 a.m., and we got here probably about 10:40,” Prewitt said.
To start your own walking club, contact Athena Williams at 773-887-4046 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.org.

Drawbacks of Old CCTV Cameras: Why Go For An Upgrade
If you’re still relying on outdated CCTV cameras to monitor your property, you might want to consider an upgrade. Your old CCTV cameras may have protected your property in the past, but the ever-growing need for better security demands more advanced surveillance systems.
By upgrading, you can improve the performance and security of your surveillance system.
In this blog post, we’ll look at seven reasons why you might need to replace your old CCTV cameras and how you can benefit from newer models.
7 Reasons You Need to Upgrade From Your Old CCTV Cameras
Our experts have put together a list of reasons why it’s time to upgrade to more modern models of CCTV cameras.
1. Improved Image Quality
Blurry images can make it challenging (or nearly impossible) to identify people or objects. This is a problem when studying surveillance footage (especially when there’s been a security breach).
Switching to newer models gives you better image clarity than older systems because they employ high-definition cameras. As a result, it's easier to identify people and objects in the footage.
2. Expanded Storage Space
One of the problems with using older models of CCTV cameras is their limited storage capacity. Some models even delete older footage to make room for new footage.
If you want to increase your CCTV cameras’ storage capacity to manage more data, consider upgrading to newer models, whose storage options include network video recorders (NVRs) or cloud storage.
3. Remote Viewing Options
With old CCTV systems, you were limited to viewing the footage from one location.
With a more modern system, you can keep an eye on your property from anywhere by viewing live and previously recorded footage on your smartphone or tablet. This eliminates the need for hiring personnel to watch over the designated screen, saving you money.
4. Higher Network Compatibility
Older systems are incapable of meeting the bandwidth demands of newer networks, resulting in poor network compatibility.
Network compatibility refers to the ease of integrating a CCTV system into a specific network setup. This can be a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN).
Newer CCTV camera models will be compatible with the current network infrastructure of your company, making installation and maintenance easier.
Additionally, incorporating your CCTV cameras with other automation and security systems, like access control, alarms, and smart lighting, becomes convenient.
5. Insufficient Weatherproofing
Rain, snow, wind, or extreme temperatures can damage your CCTV cameras, leading to degraded image quality.
Upgrading to a new weatherproof CCTV system will ensure seamless operation in harsh weather. Newer models of CCTV cameras come with improved weatherproofing, which means better performance, less maintenance, and lower costs.
6. Night Vision Capability
It's reassuring to know that your property is being monitored 24/7, especially at night.
Modern CCTV cameras have improved night-vision capabilities, which makes it easier to keep an eye on your property in low light. This expands video coverage over to blind spots.
7. Enhanced Motion Detection
Older CCTV systems can’t always distinguish between real movements and false stimuli, such as passing cars or changing lighting conditions, because of which they may generate false alerts.
Newer CCTV cameras come with more advanced motion detection features. You may define detection zones, modify sensitivity levels, and get real-time alerts, among other things. This will enhance the motion detection features, allowing for more accurate and efficient surveillance.
Upgrade Your CCTV Cameras Today with Concept Technologies
Consider partnering with Concept Technologies if you want to upgrade your security camera system. We offer a variety of cutting-edge security camera systems to help improve security and surveillance capacity.
Our team of experts can advise you on the best CCTV cameras on the market for your specific needs. We also have the best CCTV camera installation in Oman. Get in touch with us soon!

Are we doomed to secular stagnation, to permanently lower rates of economic growth? The debate was sparked off nearly a decade before the financial crisis by the top US economist Robert J Gordon. He took a pessimistic view of the impact of the new wave of technology on productivity and economic growth.
The latest contribution is from the Bank of England’s chief economist Andy Haldane. In a characteristically wide-ranging and thought-provoking speech, Haldane argued a couple of weeks ago that internet technology, far from being a stimulant, may be lowering the rate of long-term growth. He points out that, almost incredibly, 99 per cent of all the information ever created has been generated this century. Haldane suggests that this reduces our attention spans, which in turn leads to short-term thinking and decision-making becoming dominant. But growth requires commitment and patience. Human creativity, the ultimate foundation of all advances in living standards, demands time for reflection. Innovation and research are casualties of these trends.
Long-term growth rates reflect the underlying productive potential of the economy. Actual year-to-year growth rates may be above or below the trend, reflecting short-term influences. But there is a strong consensus among economists that, over the long term, growth is determined by deeper factors, such as innovation and the gradual accumulation of human and social capital.
The experience of the EU economies, or more precisely the economies of continental Europe, seems at first sight to support the Haldane thesis. Output in many countries, especially in southern Europe, remains well below the pre-crisis levels of 2007, almost a decade ago. Much more importantly, long-term growth rates have been in decline for half a century. The 1950s saw historically high growth rates, during the “catch-up” period after the Second World War. Essentially, there was an investment boom. The labour forces of these countries remained largely intact, despite war losses, but much of the capital stock had been destroyed. Since then, however, the underlying 20-year growth rate of the EU as a whole has fallen almost continuously. The financial crisis of the late 2000s was simply an overlay of an already firmly-established downwards trend.
But it does not have to be like this. Capitalism is a dynamic, evolving system which responds to circumstances. In the 1970s and early 1980s, the UK floundered and our prospects were gloomy. The supply-side changes of the 1980s, embracing labour market reforms and deregulation, transformed the economy. In the 1990s and early 2000s, Germany inherited our title as the Sick Man of Europe. But, again, major supply-side changes revitalised the country.
The rate of innovation is by no means fixed. Innovation is by definition disruptive. It creates new companies and industries, while destroying existing ones. The willingness of a country to embrace, rather than resist, change is crucial. Jobs for life in a cushioned public sector with gold plated pensions look attractive. But it is this which has crushed the Greeks, and France under Hollande is heading the same way.

stampin' and braggin'
First some stampin' then I will get to the braggin' portion of today's blog. What do you think? I thought at first that this was a rather odd color combination but as I worked with it a little bit I decided I really like it.
What I used:
Fabulous Flowers, Baroque Motifs stamp sets
Whisper White card stock
purely pomegranate, always artichoke and taken with teal classic stamp pads
purely pomegranate double stitched grosgrain ribbon
What I did:
I started with half a sheet of whisper white card stock folded in half for the body of my card. I stamped the large peony type flower in the lower left corner with purely pomegranate classic ink. I then stamped the flower on a large post it note. I cut out the flower and stuck it over the flower I had already stamped on the white card body. This is called masking and it is a handy little trick when you want you designs to overlap each other. Next I took the swirl stamp from Baroque Motifs, inked it with always artichoke and stamped twice, over lapping the flower. I then stamped some of the small flower from fabulous flowers with taken with teal classic ink. Removed the mask and I then stamped the flower three more times in purely pomegranate and once in taken with teal on a spare piece of white card stock. I cut out part of the flower making each layer smaller then the last, the smallest being just the very center of the flower on the teal layer. I curled the edges on each layer then attached them all together. I stamped "dare to be fabulous" in taken with teal and added the double stitched purely pomegranate grosgrain ribbon.
Now on to the braggin' portion of our program. My kids started school last week and I wanted to share a picture of my two that are in elementary school on the first day. Are they cute or what?
And since I am already bragging I thought you might like to see Jessi at the game she cheered at on Saturday. How did she get so grown up????

The Company of Us (USCO) helped define intermedia in the 1960s. Their multichannel environments and events of layered image, language, light, and sound were emblematically psychedelic, but also represented an important moment in arts interdisciplinarity. USCO worked out of a retrofitted church in the Hudson Valley town of Garnerville that also served as a venue, hub, and home. The group was formed in 1963 by poet Gerd Stern, painter Stephen Durkee, and engineer Michael Callahan, with frequent collaborators like Whole Earth Catalog founder Stewart Brand. This talk will consider USCOs installations and events, their Garnerville home, their relationship with Marshall McLuhan, and their proximity to other countercultural collectives. This event is free and open to the public. To attend, please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.org with USCO in the subject line.

If chapter 1 was all about beauty, poetry, structure, and order, then overall chapter 2 is about amazement.
First off, i honestly think that the first three verses of ch. 2 belong at the end of ch. 1. The first three verses are the day of rest, and they belong at the end of the poetic structure of chapter 1. And, since the chapter and verse numberings were added much, much later than the original scriptures were given to Moses to be written, they are much more recommendations than decisive and definitive lines in the sand.
I call chapter 2 Amazement because of God’s work in this chapter. He turns around, takes the very dirt / ground / earth of His creation and forms something completely different from it. Like a sculptor creating from the clay. Only He doesn’t stop there! He breaths His own breath / life into this sculpture! He forms this thing, then whooooshhhh! It’s alive! It’s a creation who’s very life comes from the very breath of its creator! If that’s not amazing, then i don’t know what is.
But it does not end there. Man is created in God’s image, and it seems almost immediately that God recognizes that he needs more than just himself. In fact, he needs more than just himself and God! If that’s not enough to blow your mind, than maybe you’re just not catching it. So lets look at that again. The absolutely perfect and complete creator, created something in His own image, with His own breath, that needs something more than Him! So what does he do? He brings the beasts and birds to the man and the man names them. Still not enough (i tell ya, some people are just never satisfied 😛 )!
So what does God do? He solves the problem. He takes from the man a rib / part / side, and uses that to create what the man needs! Wow, i mean WOW! What’s man’s response? Pure poetry. “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; (i was smiling hugely while copying that down in my notebook). Then, joy of joys, the reuniting of what was torn asunder. I think that this truly is the most beautiful and amazing ending to such an amazing chapter. “And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed”… enough said 😀

Recently I've seen a ton of bots in Dalaran, next to the fountain, fishing.. or at least trying to fish. Many other realms experiencing this same thing? What's so special in the fountain? Almost all that I've inspected have already obtained the achievements you can get from the fountain and also have fishing maxed. Most I've seen at once has been like 20 if I counted the fishing bobbers right.
They seem to use some advanced (They throw the coins back) but broken software, as they tend to fish for a few hours and then start to run between the fishing trainer and the fishing spot in a continuous loop until the owner stops the bot.
What also gives them away is that they buff themselves exactly when the previous buffs expire. Whats the point in interrupting your fishing because your battle shout expired.. In Dalaran?
What are your thoughts on fishbots? They don't damage economy that much, and fishing is the worst profession to level. But instead of making people bot as much, they should make fishing more interesting and perhaps a little bit more rewarding to level in my hot opinion.

Refugees in Their Own Country
“Hotel Kartli, as Salakaia’s current home is called—even though it hasn’t been a hotel for many decades—houses roughly 300 families uprooted by war more than two decades ago.
In 1992, in the chaotic aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the western region of Abkhazia, a 3,000-square-mile chunk of land along the Black Sea, declared independence from Georgia. Over the next 13 months, battles raged between Georgian and Russian-backed Abkhaz forces, devastating the resort region. Some 300,000 ethnic Georgians, including Salakaia and his family, were forced out of their homes.
Kartli sits on the edges of a man-made reservoir, a 20-minute taxi ride from the bustle of downtown Tbilisi, but feels much farther away. In Tbilisi’s city center, commuters jostle their way onto the metro and young people crowd into smoky cafes serving artisanal teas.”

Russia Escalates Spy Games After Years of U.S. Neglect
Ali Watkins | POLITICO
“It’s a trend that has led intelligence officials to conclude the Kremlin is waging a quiet effort to map the United States’ telecommunications infrastructure, perhaps preparing for an opportunity to disrupt it. ‘Half the time they’re never confronted,’ the official, who declined to be identified discussing intelligence matters, said of the incidents. ‘We assume they’re mapping our infrastructure.’

After two years of deprivation, a few of Arkansas’ storm-swollen waterways are reclaiming some turf, causing losses and even more problems for the state’s farmers.
The last rounds of rain and high winds over the last weeks flattened hay and wheat, bent and broke corn stalks and acres and acres of water where young crops would normally stand.
“Many creeks and streams overflowed their boundaries and deposited debris in prime hay meadows,” Skip Armes, Searcy County Extension agent for the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture, said of the early June rains. “There was a producer that had hay cut and cured, ready to be raked, that lost 50 percent of his crop down the Little Red River.”
Flooding is especially bad near Hickory Ridge, said Cross County Extension Staff Chair Rick Wimberley. “Some of these fields have as much as 8 feet of water on them,” he said on June 4. Fortunately, most of the June 6 rain moved through southern Arkansas.
The almost-weekly rain has made an impact on the U.S. Drought Monitor map. The map on June 6 showed drought disappearing entirely from northern Arkansas, where drought was most intense. Drought occupies less than 6 percent of the state, confined to all or parts Little River, Miller, Hempstead, Nevada, Lafayette, Columbia, Union and Ouachita counties.
In taking the riding mower out last weekend, Washington County Extension Staff Chair Berni Kurz made a discovery. “The ground was so wet, I was making ruts. It’s been three years since that’s happened.”
A low spot in his “back 40,” was so wet, he got stuck and had to push the mower out. “I guess the drought is over,” he said with laugh.
In southeastern Arkansas, “we have had some flooding here in Arkansas County but mostly just some low ends of fields causing partial parts of fields to be replanted,” said Chuck Capps, Arkansas county Extension Staff Chair. “I guess there is no ‘normal’ growing season in Arkansas but this one is unusual especially following the last two hot and dry years. “
In Union County, the soggy weather has pleased cattle producers with green fields, but slowed down logging for hardwoods that prefer moist lowlands.
“The grounds have become too wet and soggy to log these areas, so buyers and loggers are at slower paces right now,” said Jaret Rushing, Ouachita County Extension agent.
“On a positive note is that the supplies at the mills are steadily dwindling which, in turn, will cause prices to go up ever-so-slightly until the supply reaches quota again,” he said. “So, for timber producers, they should be aware that there could potentially be a shift in market trends in the upcoming months but it will be short-lived.”
In Lonoke County, farmers were trying to fertilize corn and rice between rains, but the fields aren’t dry enough.
“If we get another rain this week, that will put a nail in the rice planting and those acres will be shifted to soybeans,” said Keith Perkins, Lonoke County Extension agent. “We had several farmers that wanted to plant more acres of rice, but last week’s rain plus this week’s will probably put a stop to it. As my Dad would say ‘it’s all over but the crying’.”
Still, Perkins held out hope for a dry stretch. “We still haven't missed a rain, but we are due to miss one.”

The University of Dallas community gathered on Friday, Feb. 2, 2018, for the formal blessing and opening of Cardinal Farrell Hall, named after our former bishop of Dallas, previous chancellor and longtime friend of the university, Kevin Cardinal Farrell.

The Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery proudly announces the opening of a two-person exhibition, "What Remains," featuring artists Rachel Meginnes and Assistant Professor of Ceramics Kelly O'Briant. The exhibition is curated by Penland Gallery Director Kathryn Gremley of the Penland School of Craft in North Carolina. In 2001, O'Briant received a two-year Core Fellowship from the Penland School of Craft, where Meginnes recently completed a three-year residency.
On Monday, Jan. 29, 2018, in the SB Hall Multipurpose Room, the University of Dallas will welcome Aquinas Medalist Linda Zagzebski, Ph.D., as she delivers the 2018 Aquinas Lecture, sponsored by UD's Philosophy Department, titled "The Subjectivity of God."
On Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2018, Professor of Philosophy (and 2017 King Fellow) William "Bill" Frank delivered the opening address at the university's 33rd King/Haggar Haggerty Faculty Award Ceremony. In 1981, the Carl B. and Florence E. King Foundation and the Haggar Foundation helped to create the King/Haggar Faculty Development Endowment, which made both the King Fellow and Haggar Fellow awards possible.
The image of Mary has been a significant one for the Neuhoff School of Ministry. Now, they also have a statue of Mary to welcome visitors to their space in Catherine Hall; she stands four feet tall at the top of the stairs in the reception area as you enter the building.
