Jason Collins wears the number 98 in honor of Matthew Shepard, a gay college student brutally murdered in Wyoming in 1998 because of his sexuality. It was that incident that spurred a national discussion and legislative push on hate crimes against homosexuals (Wyoming had no such law to charge the accused with in this case), including the federal Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act signed into law in 2009.
Shepard’s parents, particularly his mother Judy Shepard, are now active advocates of-hate crime legislation as well as tolerance programs, something promoted by their Matthew Shepard Foundation.
After Collins’ Brooklyn team easily handled a shorthanded Denver squad on Thursday night, Collins — the first openly gay player in the NBA — met with the Shepard family and presented them with a jersey. It was something Collins described to the media after the game as “one of those cool treats in life” (via the Associated Press).

Tuesday 5th September. Czech Republic
Our next stop Kutna Hora – a medieval city about 70 kms from Prague rich in silver ore. From a distance we saw three huge spires perched high on the hill overlooking the town. Expected it was near or at Old Town so took Ziggy up the hill and after venturing into Old Town, the roads narrowed and narrowed and soon we opted to find the best spot to turn around before we became sandwiched. One of the many times we have wished we could bring in the side mirrors.
Found a spot a short way away and set off looking for the three spires. The information board in Old Town was only in Czech – ugh !!! We meandered through Old Town into the main square – very quiet compared to Prague – but again witnessed the pride of this town with all old buildings restored and painted.
We saw a bus group heading up the hill so we followed them and at the end were rewarded with coming face to face with the three spires – St Barbara’s Cathedral – wow. It rivals St Vitus in Prague in size and elegance. Its soaring nave culminates in elegant six petalled ribbed vaults. The chapels include 15th century frescoes. This cathedral certainly is the most impressive externally.
There are several other places of interest here and the views across the valley are more than spectacular. A wine growing region also and local wines can be purchased here.
Time to move on and find a campsite for the night.
Campsite for tonight: Autokemp Vysocina Jihlava-Stoky
Not a lot of places to choose from and as Czech Republic does not allow wild camping we pulled into this one as it was getting late. Again misled by the pictures in our APP, this place is not one that is recommended. A parking area attached to a restaurant (which was not open) and accommodation place for workers (all male) with one WC and shower (with no door) for everyone to share – not good so again opted to use Ziggy for showers and toilet.
We have been experiencing and hearing a growing noise (thought to be wheel bearings) and though have had it checked out twice already, Rob is very concerned and eager to find someone who will take his concerns seriously.
Wednesday 6th September
Had a quiet night – not expected with the clientele staying here and left reasonably early.
Spoke to a mechanic in Jihlava about 20kms away who again didn’t want to help so headed for the next big town Brno.
Wednesday & Thursday nights 6th & 7th September
Camp for 2 nights – Motortec, Brno
Motortec is a Fiat/Alfa Romeo/Maserati sales and service operation and they bent over backwards to help us out.
They advised us not to drive any further and said they would check out the problem.
Looks like the really rough roads we had been driving over In Poland had finally caught us with us and we had done some damage in the front left wheel.
It would take a couple of days to get the parts from Italy but it would be ok to park at the front of their business overnight whilst they waited for parts.
They provided us with a courtesy Fiat car to drive around and see the sights of Brno.
The parts arrived, they fitted them and off we set.
Their service was excellent – fortunately their service manager spoke some English otherwise the task would have been very difficult.
Friday 8th September – Austria for one night only
Keen to leave Brno now, even though we did not visit the town. Decided to find a quiet country campsite for some R& R.
So relieved as we drove away from Motortec in Brno and soon hit the highway – no noise – Ziggy purred along – we were so relieved that someone took the time to listen to our concerns and more than that saved us from a potentially dangerous situation.
Spent our remaining Czech money at Lidl and soon after passed through the border gates into Austria. No checkpoint check again and travel through borders in the Schengen area has been seamless.
Campsite for tonight: Bernhardsthal – Austria
Just what the doctor ordered. 5 minutes outside this quaint little town, set on lush green grass, green trees everywhere and on a river, a free spot for motorhomes was provided. Two other motorhomes were already there enjoying the peace and tranquility and Ziggy happily nestled between them. We sat and bathed in the remaining day’s sunshine and talked and laughed about our adventures thus far.
Only 100 metres away, there was a small club house/restaurant where the locals came and went. Outside the clubhouse, there were two long cement rinks (similar to our bowling greens but cement) where a group of men were playing a game which I think is called tut put. They hurled flat bottom pucks about half meter diameter with handles on top, along the cement – the aim to get as close to the x marked in a square at the end of the rink. They played for hours into the night under flood lights. Have not seen this played before and will do some research on it when next in wifi zone. The clubhouse had external WC which they offered campers the use of.
We have seen so much and experienced so much. Our history and geography lesson continues day by day.
Woke up Saturday morning – again a beautiful but windy day. This sleepy little town came alive – tractors, bicycles, cars all towing trailers full of branches, all heading in the same direction. Continued for hours, so expect this must have been the towns clean up day.
Ventured into town for a look around. Just a little quaint village in the back blocks of Austria – close to the Czech and Slovakian borders.

Suppose your friend is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, then works hard to lose 50 pounds. He takes himself off all his medications and his blood sugars are now normal. What would you say to him? Probably something like “Great job. You’re really taking care of yourself. Keep it up!” What you wouldn’t say is something like “You’re such a dirty, filthy liar. My doctor says this is a chronic and progressive disease so you must be lying ”. It seems perfectly obvious that diabetes reversed because your friend lost all that weight. And that’s the point. The disease is reversible.
Consider a form of regular fasting (more to come in a later blog), such as intermittent fasting or time-restricted feeding (TRF). TRF means eating your calories during a specific window of the day, and choosing not to eat food for the rest. It’s a great way to reduce insulin levels in your body and help undo the effects of chronically elevated levels.

Recently[when?] it has been suggested that a type of gastric bypass surgery may normalize blood glucose levels in 80–100% of severely obese patients with diabetes. The precise causal mechanisms are being intensively researched; its results may not simply be attributable to weight loss, as the improvement in blood sugars seems to precede any change in body mass. This approach may become a treatment for some people with type 2 diabetes, but has not yet been studied in prospective clinical trials. This surgery may have the additional benefit of reducing the death rate from all causes by up to 40% in severely obese people. A small number of normal to moderately obese patients with type 2 diabetes have successfully undergone similar operations.
A study published in 2014 by the Second University of Naples showed that a low-carbohydrate Mediterranean diet was able to achieve significant rates of remission in people with type 2 diabetes. After one year of following the diet, 15% of participants achieved remission and, after six years, 5% had achieved remission on the diet – a stunning achievement.
A OGTT glucose of less than 140 ml/dl is considered normal, with 141-199 being pre-diabetic and levels above 200 mg/dL considered full-blown diabetes. From my research, I believe that OGTT blood sugar levels above 140 mg/dL , especially regularly, can increase risk of vision problems, cancer, stroke and cardiovascular disease, even without an official diabetes diagnosis.
Over a year ago I was diagnosed with DT2. I was devastated… I told that I needed to take medication and eat according to the ADA recommendations. I never did anything that I was told. I refused to take the medication and went to a LCHF diet. My A1C has never been above a 4.7 for an entire year and I lost 80 pounds with doing nothing but eating. I feel great and my labs are stellar…

Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). If your blood sugar level drops below your target range, it's known as low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your blood sugar level can drop for many reasons, including skipping a meal, inadvertently taking more medication than usual or getting more physical activity than normal. Low blood sugar is most likely if you take glucose-lowering medications that promote the secretion of insulin or if you're taking insulin.
Momordica Charantia goes under a variety of names and is native to some areas of Asia, India, Africa and South America. Marketed as charantia, it is also known as karela or karolla and bitter melon. The herb may be prepared in a variety of different ways, and may be able to help diabetics with insulin secretion, glucose oxidation and other processes.
Most of us ignored the manual, just plugged it in and tried to figure out the rest. That’s why we all had the blinking 12:00 on. Today, most new electronics now come with a quick start guide which has the most basic 4 or 5 steps to get your machine working and then anything else you needed, you could reference the detailed instruction manual. Instruction manuals are just so much more useful this way.
The twin cycle hypothesis of the etiology of type 2 diabetes. During long-term intake of more calories than are expended each day, any excess carbohydrate must undergo de novo lipogenesis, which particularly promotes fat accumulation in the liver. Because insulin stimulates de novo lipogenesis, individuals with a degree of insulin resistance (determined by family or lifestyle factors) will accumulate liver fat more readily than others because of higher plasma insulin levels. In turn, the increased liver fat will cause relative resistance to insulin suppression of hepatic glucose production. Over many years, a modest increase in fasting plasma glucose level will stimulate increased basal insulin secretion rates to maintain euglycemia. The consequent hyperinsulinemia will further increase the conversion of excess calories to liver fat. A cycle of hyperinsulinemia and blunted suppression of hepatic glucose production becomes established. Fatty liver leads to increased export of VLDL triacylglycerol (85), which will increase fat delivery to all tissues, including the islets. This process is further stimulated by elevated plasma glucose levels (85). Excess fatty acid availability in the pancreatic islet would be expected to impair the acute insulin secretion in response to ingested food, and at a certain level of fatty acid exposure, postprandial hyperglycemia will supervene. The hyperglycemia will further increase insulin secretion rates, with consequent enhancement of hepatic lipogenesis, spinning the liver cycle faster and driving the pancreas cycle. Eventually, the fatty acid and glucose inhibitory effects on the islets reach a trigger level that leads to a relatively sudden onset of clinical diabetes.

Acupuncture is a procedure where a practitioner inserts very thin needles into specific points on your skin. Some scientists say that acupuncture triggers the release of the body's natural painkillers. Acupuncture has been shown to offer relief from chronic pain and is sometimes used by people with neuropathy, the painful nerve damage that can happen with diabetes.
Pancreatic islet transplantation is an experimental treatment for poorly controlled type 1 diabetes. Pancreatic islets are clusters of cells in the pancreas that make the hormone insulin. In type 1 diabetes, the body’s immune system attacks these cells. A pancreatic islet transplant replaces destroyed islets with new ones that make and release insulin. This procedure takes islets from the pancreas of an organ donor and transfers them to a person with type 1 diabetes. Because researchers are still studying pancreatic islet transplantation, the procedure is only available to people enrolled in research studies. Learn more about islet transplantation studies.
A: Fasting plasma glucose and weight change 2 years after randomization either to gastric banding or to intensive medical therapy for weight loss and glucose control.

Baseline Endothelial Reactivity was 1.88+/-0.7 (range 1.0-3.3), with 145/200 pts (72%)having endothelial dysfunction (less than 1.60). At 6 months, ER increased to 2.25+/-0.5 (range 1.2-3.6) (p<0.01). Only 40/200 (20%) remained with ED, but all had increased ER numbers. Ten pts stopped the polyphenols after a normal PAT; all developed ED on repeat PAT "
Low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, is a syndrome in which a person's blood sugar is dangerously low. People with type 1 and type 2 diabetes are at risk for this condition. There are other diseases that can cause a person's blood sugar levels to go too low, for example, pancreatitis, Cushing's syndrome, and pancreatic cancer. Symptoms and signs that your blood sugar levels are too low include:
Chinese medicine has been using cinnamon for medicinal purposes for hundreds of years. It has been the subject of numerous studies to determine its effect on blood glucose levels. A 2011 study has shown that cinnamon, in whole form or extract, helps lower fasting blood glucose levels. More studies are being done, but cinnamon is showing promise for helping to treat diabetes.
To prevent further diabetic complications as well as serious oral problems, diabetic persons must keep their blood sugar levels under control and have a proper oral hygiene. A study in the Journal of Periodontology found that poorly controlled type 2 diabetic patients are more likely to develop periodontal disease than well-controlled diabetics are. At the same time, diabetic patients are recommended to have regular checkups with a dental care provider at least once in three to four months. Diabetics who receive good dental care and have good insulin control typically have a better chance at avoiding gum disease to help prevent tooth loss.

8. Get your protein from vegetable sources, fish, and dairy: Plant-based proteins have a balanced nutritional profile (providing fiber, fat, and protein) and are low in saturated fats. Some saturated fats, like those that are heavily processed or from unhealthy animals, can be dangerous, as they raise cholesterol levels and contribute to heart disease. Dairy from pastured animals (such as yogurt) that is low in sugar provides protein, carbohydrates, and beneficial probiotics, and non-mercury contaminated, wild caught fish is a great source of protein that is low in saturated fat and high in amino acids and fatty acids like Omega-3.
Cyrus Khambatta earned a PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry from UC Berkeley after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in his senior year of college at Stanford University in 2002. He is an internationally recognized nutrition and fitness coach for people living with type 1, type 1.5, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, and has helped hundreds of people around the world achieve exceptional insulin sensitivity by adopting low-fat, plant-based whole foods nutrition.
Prolonged and elevated levels of glucose in the blood, which is left unchecked and untreated, will, over time, result in serious diabetic complications in those susceptible and sometimes even death. There is currently no way of testing for susceptibility to complications. Diabetics are therefore recommended to check their blood sugar levels either daily or every few days. There is also diabetes management software available from blood testing manufacturers which can display results and trends over time. Type 1 diabetics normally check more often, due to insulin therapy.
A couple of studies have found that cinnamon improves blood glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes. In the first study, 60 people with type 2 diabetes were divided into six groups. Three groups took 1, 3 or 6 g of cinnamon a day and the remaining three groups consumed 1, 3 or 6 g of placebo capsules. After 40 days, all three doses of cinnamon significantly reduced fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol.
Grape seed extract has been proven to improve the conditions associated with this disease. Grape seed performed greatly in studies conducted in 2006 in Toyama Japan, in 2009 in Romania and also in Portsmouth UK. Grape seed was successful in protecting the liver cells and setting up defense mechanisms against reactive oxygen species produced by hyperglycemic conditions.
The new research ties in with recent thinking among experts about what happens when type 2 diabetes develops, says Domenico Accili, MD, chief of endocrinology at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. "We have been talking for some time, that in diabetes, primarily type 2, the insulin-producing [beta] cell is not dead but simply inactive," he says. "If you put patients with diabetes on a diet, you can do marvels with their beta cells."
Insulin pumps are small, computerized devices, about the size of a beeper that you wear on your belt or put in your pocket. They have a small flexible tube with a fine needle on the end. The needle is inserted under the skin of your abdomen and taped in place. The pump releases a carefully measured, steady flow of insulin into the tissue. Insulin pumps can cost $6,000 to $10,000 for the pump, with additional costs for necessary supplies to use the pump.Using a pump means you will have to monitor your blood sugar level at least four times a day. You program doses and make adjustments to your insulin, depending on your food intake and exercise program. Some health care providers prefer the insulin pump over injections because its slow release of insulin imitates a working pancreas.
Ideally, insulin should be administered in a manner that mimics the natural pattern of insulin secretion by a healthy pancreas. However, the complex pattern of natural insulin secretion is difficult to duplicate. Still, adequate blood glucose control can be achieved with careful attention to diet, regular exercise, home blood glucose monitoring, and multiple insulin injections throughout the day..

To these stories he adds still another: the misadventures of a group of tradesmen who rehearse and stage a play for the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta. Shakespeare skillfully arranges all the story lines into a unified whole—a kind of symphony, with a major theme, love. He even blends ancient Greek and Elizabethan societies and customs into his mix. Shakespeare wrote most of his plays in verse interspersed with prose passages and, occasionally, a poem or poetic passage.
A Midsummer Night's Dream contains numerous poems and poetic passages, along with the traditional verse and prose passages, to make it one of Shakespeare's most poetic play. Verse is an elegant collection of lines that follow a regular, rhythmic pattern. In Shakespeare, this pattern is usually iambic pentameter, a rhythm scheme in which each line usually has five pairs of syllables.
Sights, Sounds, and Smells of Elizabethan Theater
Each pair consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Verse resembles poetry, and the word verse is often used as a synonym for poetry. However, Shakespeare's iambic-pentameter verse contains no rhyming lines, as does his poetry.
- Hackney Memories.
- Account Options.
- Double Diamond, Wet Dreams.
An explanation of iambic-pentameter verse appears below. Prose, of course, is the language of everyday conversation, letters, lectures, sermons, newspaper articles, book chapters, and encyclopedia articles. Prose has no rhyme or rhythm scheme. In a Shakespeare play, royal, noble, and upper-class characters usually speak in verse; commoners generally speak in prose.
In a prose passage in A Midsummer Night's Dream and other Shakespeare plays, the first line begins with a capital letter and each succeeding line with a lower-case letter unless the first word of a line is a proper noun or the beginning of a new sentence. Here is a prose passage spoken by Bottom. Peter Quince! Flute, the bellows-mender! Snout, the tinker! I have had a most rare vision.
I have had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was: man is but an ass, if he go about to expound this dream. Methought I was—there is no man can tell what. Methought I was,—and methought I had,—but man is but a patched fool, if he will offer to say what methought I had. Notice that the lines in the prose passage continue to the right margin and that the lines in the verse passage, because each has only ten syllables, do not.
In poetic passages and poems in A Midsummer Night's Dream , end rhyme occurs.
So does a regular, rhythmic pattern, as in verse passages. Here is a poetic passage in which Lysander confides to Helena that he and Hermia plan to steal away to the forest. The rhyming words are boldfaced. Helen, to you our minds we will unfold. And here is a poem recited by Puck as he stands alone on the stage. Note that one of the rhyming pairs moon and fordone contains words with a similar—but not the same—sound.
Such rhymes are called near rhymes, slant rhymes, or half-rhymes. Under " Format: Verse, Prose, Poetry ," you read that Shakespeare wrote his plays in verse, prose, poems, and poetic passages. You also read that he used a rhythm pattern called iambic pentameter in verse passages. To understand iambic pentameter, you first need to understand the term iamb pronounced EYE am.

An iamb is a unit of rhythm consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Iambs can also consist of one word with a single unstressed unaccented syllable followed by another word with a single stressed accented syllable example: the KING. In addition, they may consist of a final unstressed syllable of one word followed by an initial stressed syllable of the next word. The following lines from A Midsummer Night's Dream demonstrate the use of iambs.
The stressed syllables or words are capitalized. In the word pentameter , the prefix pent- means five. The suffix -meter refers to the recurrence of a rhythmic unit also called a foot. Thus, because the above lines contain iambs, they are iambic. Because they contain five iambs or five feet they are said to be in iambic pentameter.
A line with five iambs, or five feet, contains ten syllables, as in the quoted lines immediately above. When the words at the end of each line of iambic pentameter do not rhyme, the lines are said to be in unrhymed iambic pentameter. Another term for unrhymed iambic pentameter is blank verse. Occasionally, a line in blank verse may have nine syllables, or perhaps ten or eleven, instead of the usual ten.
The reason is that the importance of conveying the right meaning dictates veering from standard practice. At times, a passage mainly in blank verse may contain a line with even fewer syllables. Such a deviation may occur when a character ends a passage with a transitional statement, as in the following. Note that the first three lines each have five iambs, or ten syllables, but that the last line has only three iambs, or six syllables.
A deviation from iambic pentameter may also occur when a character responds to a question with a short reply, such as yes or no. Blank verse was modeled after ancient Greek and Latin verse. In , Italian Giovanni Rucellai was the first poet to label the unrhymed iambic pentameter in his poetry as blank verse versi sciolti in Italian.
It was about an early British king. Later in the same century, Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare turned blank verse into high art when they used it in their plays. Shakespeare used it in all of his plays. Supplies for Teachers. Love's Pitfalls Lysander sums up the main theme of the play when he tells Hermia, "The course of true love never did run smooth" 1. Even the relationship between Theseus and Hippolyta did not begin smoothly, as Theseus observes.
In Greek mythology, Hippolyta was the queen of the Amazons, a race of warrior women in Scythia, a country that was between the Black Sea and the Aral Sea.
Review: Taming ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ Under a Tent
Theseus, a king of Athens and courageous adventurer, decided one day that he would marry Hippolyta, so he traveled to her country to woo her. But after she refused his proposal, he kidnapped her, precipitating a war with the Amazons.

Theseus won the war and—according to Shakespeare's interpretation of the myth—the hand of Hippolyta. For all the other lovers in the forest outside Athens, the course of love likewise does not run smooth. Oberon and Titania argue over the changeling boy. Lysander, who deeply loves Hermia, announces that he loves Helena after Puck enchants him with the magical juice of a flower. Helena, meanwhile, chases after Demetrius, who despises her. Demetrius, also enchanted by flower juice, chases after Hermia. In the end, all these lovers make up.
In the tradesmen's play, Pyramus and Thisbe are forbidden by their familes to see one another and limited to communicating through a hole in a wall separating their dwellings. After they run off to meet in the woods, Pyramus mistakenly thinks a lion has killed Thisbe, and he draws a dagger or sword and kills himself.

When Thisbe comes upon his body, she stabs herself with the same weapon. Love's Elusiveness Love is elusive. Theseus had to go to war to win Hippolyta. Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius, and Helena have to chase through woods, endure confusion, and become victims of Puck's pranks before they can rest content at the sides of their true loves.
For poor Pyramus and Thisbe, togetherness eludes them forever. Fairies sing and dance. The mischievous sprite Puck uses enchanted flower juice to alter the reality that the lovers see.

Puck gives the tradesman Bottom the head of an ass. And the young lovers confuse the dream world with the real world. As Demetrius says,. Such trials test a couple's patience and faith in one another and cause the relationship to mature—and, in some cases, to disintegrate.

Triumph Mayflower Saloon '53
Mayflower Saloon '53
Belgian papers, very good shape
(from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) The Triumph Mayflower is a small car which was produced by Britain's Triumph Motor Company from 1949 until 1953.
It was the first small car to be built by Triumph under new owners, the Standard Motor Company. It used a version of the pre-war Standard 10 side-valve engine updated by having an aluminium cylinder head and single Solex carburettor. The engine developed 38 bhp (28 kW) at 4200 rpm. The 3-speed gearbox, with column shift, came from the Standard Vanguard and had synchromesh on all the forward ratios. There was independent suspension at the front using coil springs but a solid back axle and half-elliptic leaf springs, also based on the one used on the Vanguard, was at the rear. The front-suspension design was used on the Triumph 20TS prototype and, with modifications, on the Triumph TR2. Lockheed hydraulic brakes were fitted.
A Mayflower tested by the British magazine The Motor in 1950 had a top speed of 62.9 mph (101.2 km/h) and could accelerate from 0–50 mph (80 km/h) in 26.6 seconds. A fuel consumption of 28.3 miles per imperial gallon (9.98 L/100 km; 23.6 mpg-US) was recorded. The test car cost £505 including taxes. In the same year the similarly sized but less well equipped and more aggressively priced Morris Minor was advertised at £382.
The Mayflower had traditional "razor edge" styling similar to its larger brother, the Triumph Renown, and apeing the looks of the upmarket Bentley and Rolls-Royce cars. It was hoped this would be especially appealing to the American market. The car was of unitary construction with steel body panels and was built by Fisher and Ludlow at Castle Bromwich, Birmingham to a design by Leslie Moore, chief body designer of Mulliners of Birmingham with input from Triumph's Walter Belgrove.
As well as the saloons, ten drophead coupés were built in 1950.
The styling, created at the behest of Standard's Managing Director Sir John Black, proved controversial and tends to polarise opinion. Although it has many admirers, others share the opinion of Top Gear presenter James May, who called it the ugliest car of all time in one of his columns.
The Mayflower was an attempt to create a small car with an upmarket image, and failed to meet its sales targets. Standard-Triumph's next small car, the Standard Eight, was launched with a very basic specification and aimed at a different type of buyer. From the ending of Mayflower production in 1953 there was no small Triumph saloon available in the UK until the launch of the Triumph Herald in 1959, although in some overseas markets derivatives of the Standard 8 were sold as Triumphs.

Netflix has taken yet another step in becoming the king of TV as the streaming service has announced that they’ve landed the rights to a Lost in Space TV series remake, which they’re putting into production.
According to a report at Deadline, Netflix was in a heated bid war over the cult sci-fi TV classic before landing the project. Netflix noted that they’ve put feature writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (Dracula Untold) on the project, with Legendary TV’s Neil Marshall expected to direct the series.
The 1965 series was set three decades into the future, and centered around an attempt by the U.S. to colonize deep space by sending a single family on a 5 1/2-year journey to another planet. An enemy agent sabotages the mission, taking the ship off course, thus becoming lost in space.
The Lost in Space remake series was originally attempted at NBC as a telefilm, before being rebooted as a series at WB, where it got the pilot treatment that was even directed by John Woo. Unfortunately, it didn’t get a series order.
Of course, we’re always on the lookout for new sci-fi TV series to watch, and had the series been won by any broadcast network, we might not be as interested. However, the fact that Netflix has picked up the series could mean that the series might take a slightly darker tone.

By now it’s pretty much a well-accepted fact that Bryan Singer‘s "Superman Returns" didn’t do the kind of box office that Warner Bros. was expecting. That’s not a knock on the movie, but the thing’s still struggling to hit $200 million, and some industry insiders were predicting the flick would tally that much in only a week or two. But, of course, there’s always sequel considerations…
From IGN FilmForce: "Warner Bros. is reportedly trying to seal a deal with Bryan Singer to direct a sequel to "Superman Returns," but don’t get too excited just yet over that news or by Singer’s previous claim that the sequel could be ready by 2009 … Industry speculation suggests that Warners has simply sunk too much money into the Man of Steel to ditch the franchise now, according to Variety.
If home entertainment and TV revenues are profitable then, Variety claims, "Warners and co-financing partner Legendary Pictures have a shot at breaking even on "Superman" once all the revenue streams are accounted for, but it’s going to be a long, tough haul … Although Warners denies it, the studio and Legendary are said to want any "Superman" sequel to come in at $200 million and below ("Returns" cost $225+ million)."

Heartburn During Pregnancy, Pregnancy is a remarkable journey, filled with anticipation and wonder. However, as the body undergoes profound changes to accommodate the growing life within, discomforts can arise unexpectedly. By the 25th week of pregnancy, just when you may have thought you were adjusting to the discomforts of indigestion, gas, and bloating, a new challenger emerges heartburn. This fiery sensation in the chest, often accompanied by a bitter taste, can catch even the most prepared expectant mothers off guard. This discomfort arises from the pesky companion of pregnancy – indigestion, and the culprit behind the intensified burning is the backward flow of stomach acid into the delicate territory of the esophagus.
Fret not, for there are practical measures and dietary adjustments that can provide relief from the effects of heartburn. While it’s true that every pregnancy is unique and what works for one might not work for another, understanding the triggers and implementing tailored strategies can greatly ease the discomfort.
The Power of Dietary Changes (Heartburn During Pregnancy)
Heartburn During Pregnancy, When it comes to managing heartburn during pregnancy, dietary modifications can be your most effective arsenal. Opting for smaller, more frequent meals rather than larger ones can create a world of difference in your quest for comfort. This approach helps prevent excessive pressure on the stomach, reducing the likelihood of acid reflux.
Being mindful of your food choices is another critical facet of managing heartburn. Steering clear of notorious acidity triggers such as carbonated drinks, spicy dishes, and greasy foods can significantly alleviate the intensity of heartburn. By eliminating these culprits from your diet, you’re taking proactive steps to minimize the occurrences of the fiery sensation.
Hydration and Its Role
Heartburn During Pregnancy, Fluid intake might not be the first thing that comes to mind when dealing with heartburn, but it’s a crucial element in your quest for relief. Drinking an adequate amount of fluids can help balance the acids in your stomach, offering respite from not just heartburn but also the bloating and gas that often accompany pregnancy discomforts. A delicate balance is key, ensuring you hydrate sufficiently without overloading your system.
The Precious Gift of Sleep
Heartburn During Pregnancy, Sleep is a treasured commodity during pregnancy, and for good reason. A good night’s sleep can be a game-changer for your digestive system, especially when it’s wrestling with heartburn. Establishing a regular sleep schedule and prioritizing quality rest can offer your internal muscles, including those responsible for digestion and enzyme production, a chance to recuperate. This can go a long way in calming the storm of indigestion.
The Calcium Connection
Heartburn During Pregnancy, Elevating your calcium levels can prove to be a formidable ally in your quest to conquer heartburn. Calcium-rich foods, such as dairy products, can help neutralize stomach acid and mitigate the intensity of heartburn. However, it’s essential to approach this avenue with caution. Before introducing any new supplements or medications, it’s crucial to consult your healthcare provider. They can provide guidance tailored to your unique health needs, ensuring that you tread safely on the path to relief.
Seeking Personalized Solutions
Heartburn During Pregnancy, As you navigate the uncharted waters of heartburn during pregnancy, remember that each individual’s experience is distinct. What works wonders for one person might not yield the same results for another. This is why it’s vital to listen to your body, experiment with various strategies, and maintain open communication with your healthcare provider throughout the journey. Their expertise can help you make informed choices that are aligned with your specific health needs.
Embracing Relief and Enjoying the Journey
While heartburn during pregnancy might seem like an unwelcome guest, it’s essential to approach it with a sense of resilience and resourcefulness. By understanding the triggers, making conscious dietary choices, prioritizing hydration, ensuring quality sleep, and exploring the benefits of calcium, you can alleviate the discomfort and embrace a smoother journey to motherhood.
The journey of pregnancy is a transformative one, characterized by both challenges and moments of wonder. By arming yourself with knowledge, seeking guidance, and making thoughtful decisions, you can navigate the landscape of heartburn with grace. Remember, it’s not just about managing discomfort; it’s about nurturing yourself and your growing baby, fostering a sense of well-being and empowerment that transcends the temporary challenges of pregnancy.

It’s impossible to imagine how anyone could eat a dog, yet unfortunately a dog meat industry still exists in several countries, and many unwanted dogs sadly end up in the slaughterhouse.
But some groups are committed to rescuing these dogs and giving them a second chance… and one dog has turned into a viral sensation after narrowly avoiding the chopping block.
HarbinSHS is an animal rescue dedicated to saving dogs from China’s meat trade, as eating dogs is legal and there are no legislative protections for animals in the country. They shelter them in a safehouse until they can be rehomed through partner rescues.
In October, one dog was rescued that immediately caught the attention of Nikki Carvey of the nonprofit rescue Roadogs. The dog had a very unique, almost alien-like appearance with pointy ears.
He was named Mork Skywalker. “They sent me a photo of Mork, and I said, ‘I love that dog. I will take him,” Nikki told Huffington Post.
Mork was flown out to LA, and is now being cared for by Roadogs.
He quickly became their biggest celebrity. People couldn’t get enough of this uniquely adorable pup, and now he has his own Instagram with over 100,000 followers.
Everyone is saying he resembles “Baby Yoda,” the popular character (and meme) from the Star Wars universe.
Like Baby Yoda, Mork is a special creature that requires some special treatment. He is still underweight and suffers from irritable bowel syndrome, and has to eat a special diet of four meals a day.
And while everyone agrees Mork is cute, it’s best if he remains one-of-a-kind: his breeding has left him with a few health issues. Nikki said she’s declined to do a DNA test to find out his breed.
“I don’t want people to replicate him and breed him,” she said. “He’s got so many congenital issues. He’s got an undershot jaw, and he can’t breathe very well. He’ll have surgery to help him breathe.”
“The last thing I want people to do is re-create Mork because he is ‘cute.’”
Despite those issues, Mork is still mostly healthy, and Nikki hopes that he will become a therapy dog once he is well enough.
He’s come so far that it’s hard to imagine how close he came to being slaughtered. Mork’s story is a reminder of all the dogs that are killed in the meat trade and the importance of rescuing them.
“Who would have thought this little #chubbychibbychops rescued from the meat trade in China would become the #babyyoda IT dog,” one of his captions reads.
What a precious dog! We’re so glad he’s alive and doing well, thanks to his rescuers. Share this inspiring story!

(Bloomberg) — The torrent of pandemic-relief money likely means a higher floor price for bullion, according to Barrick Gold Corp. But that doesn’t mean the world’s second-largest producer will be taking a more aggressive approach.
Chief Executive Officer Mark Bristow said gold probably has some room to go higher on a real-dollar basis, but the company will continue to make decisions based on a long-term price of $1,200 an ounce. Gold has shot past the all-time record set in September 2011 in the past month and is trading above $2,000 an ounce.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
The “base price of gold” is definitely going to rise, Bristow said Monday in a telephone interview. “What is that number? I can’t tell you. But it’s below the current gold price, I’m sure.”
Barrick said in its second-quarter earnings statement that it will increase its quarterly cash dividend 14% to 8 cents a share. Strong cash generation shows the quality of Barrick’s assets and its ability to capture the full benefit of higher prices, it said. Barrick fell 0.5% to $28.72 Monday in New York after earlier rising as much as 3.7%. The shares have climbed more than 50% this year.
Asked if Canada-based Barrick had any intentions to move its primary listing to New York or London, Bristow said “we are very happy where we are in Canada.” In a follow-up email, a spokeswoman said Barrick considers its Toronto and New York listings to be “equally weighted,” while the company remains headquartered in Toronto.
“Domiciling in the U.S. just to be able to get on the S&P; that’s a questionable decision,” the CEO said on the call.
Bristow said Barrick is “fully engaged” in trying to settle a dispute over its giant Porgera gold mine in Papua New Guinea. Earlier this year, the government said it wouldn’t renew the license. The current offer would see the benefits shared 57%-43% in favor of Papua New Guinea, he said Monday.
“It’s the best deal that Papua New Guinea has in its resource base today,” Bristow said.
On the earnings call, Bristow said the company would continue to pursue deal-making, but its overall acquisition strategy won’t change because of higher prices. Barrick still expects to shed some non-core assets but the value has obviously risen with gold prices, he said.
Adjusted earnings came in at 23 cents a share versus the average analyst estimate of 18 cents.All-in sustaining costs increased 8.1% to $1,031 an ounce in the second quarter from the previous three months amid precautions for the coronavirus.Barrick reiterated it’s on track to meet its guidance for 2020 production estimated at a range of 4.6 million to 5 million ounces. That target was lowered in May in part because of a conflict with the government of Papua New Guinea over Porgera.For additional details on the release, click here.

Breakout songwriter Andrew Combs plays Kable House Presents in York
If 2014 was the year of Sturgill Simpson, a strong argument can be made that 2015 will belong to Andrew Combs. The Texas-bred, Nashville-based singer-songwriter released his sophomore album, All These Dreams, back in March, just in time to catch the attention of everyone from NPR Music to Rolling Stone in advance of SXSW – and likewise earn a decent bit of attention at the annual music festival. Check out a video Combs filmed for Paste Magazine at SXSW:
Sophomore albums can be a tricky thing for any artist. Coming on the heals of Combs’ debut, the October 2012-released Worried Man, All These Dreams showcases the further maturation of an already adept songwriter. On “Pearl,” Combs narrates a variety of diamond-in-the-rough scenarios (an alcoholic musician, a star athlete secretly shooting up in his car, a dirty cop who intervenes as a girl attempts to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge); on “Slow Road to Jesus,” Combs explores the notion of making good on his place in the world.
Combs’ lyrical chops are only half of the equation, however. The musical arrangements themselves are enough to cause the album stand out in the over-saturated pop country landscape that also calls Nashville home. Guitar-and-pedal steel duo Steelism add the perfect combination of catchy guitar riffs and swelling pedal steel lines. “Long Gone Lately” comes complete with castanets and a whistled instrumental bridge that could easily lend itself to be the soundtrack of a old gunslinging Western film. The early stand-out, “Foolin’,” shines as one of those songs that’s catchy in all the right ways, from the keystone descending guitar riff to the vocal hook on the chorus.
All in all, All These Dreams is a breath of fresh air in the world of country music, anchored by an attention to smart songwriting that is arguably missing from much of the musical emanating out of Music City. Combs is no doubt causing long-gone country greats to smile in their graves.
Kable House Presents welcomes Andrew Combs to Central Market York (34 W. Philadelphia St., York) on Friday, April 10. 7pm doors; 8pm music. All ages. $15. Click here for tickets.

Whew! I finally finished our Kansas City trip photos that I started in my last post. Pictured below are the pages I've completed in the past two days. I did 8 in one day and you can tell that I was sort of running out of steam because they lack a lot of embellishment. I got to that point where I just wanted them done. Do you know what I mean?
I like the colors and the layout of this first one. I trimmed the corners of the photos with scalloped scissors and matted the photos, so they look like I've used photo corners on them. That gave me the idea to cut the corners for the page. Then I got lucky and found some coordinating scrap ribbon. I think this page is my favorite of the bunch.
For the wildlife preserve layout I tried to cut out little hoof prints for the bison and the elk. I think it works.
These next two pages are kind of strange. The first one includes photos of my kids on a spinning seat from a park we visited hence the title "You Spin Me Round" and the busy circle paper. I used the same paper to show my son first big catch. Those two photos were taken with a cell phone camera and are a little out of focus, but it was such a big event I decided to use them anyway. They are not my favorites, but there are elements on each page that I like.
T-Rex Cafe. What can I say. The papers don't quite coordinate, the color scheme is strange. It was late in the day.
We went to the Cabella's store. My husband wanted to compare it to Bass Pro. Anyway, again, papers just don't quite work together. I tried to pull them together with the use of more of that camouflage paper, but... I do like the little cloth sleeping bag and camp cabin stickers. They help.
My last hurrah here. Some random photos that I just decided to throw onto a page together. No real design here. Again, it was late in the day, and I was ready to move on to something else. lol

Southaven mayor found guilty of passing school bus
Published: September 14,2012
SOUTHAVEN — A judge has found Southaven Mayor Greg Davis guilty of passing a school bus in his private vehicle that displayed police-type lights.
The Commercial Appeals reports Judge Steve Ross fined Davis $750, plus court costs, on the misdemeanor charges during a hearing yesterday in DeSoto County Justice Court in Southaven.
The case is one of several legal battles being waged by Davis, who also is seeking to prevent the state auditor from seizing his pay and facing a challenge from his former wife to the couple’s divorce settlement.
Davis’ attorney, Steve Farese, called the matter a “political witch hunt” and asked the judge for 30 days to decide if they will appeal the ruling.
The charges stem from a March 22 incident in Southaven.

In Reply to: Re: In Remembrance: Henry Ford posted by 36 coupe on April 07, 2018 at 12:37:01:
Understand the time period of the events. Yes, Ford hated Jews, published a weekly newspaper, "The Dearborn Independent" in which he frequently condemned the Jewish people saying all the world's problems were instigated by the Jews. He was friendly with Hitler -they awarded Henry the Iron Cross, but that was before he went kattiwhompus with delusions of grandeur. Hitler admired Henry Ford because of his beliefs on the Jews. Yes, it is also true Henry had a bastard child, John Dahlinger, and that he treated his only son, Edsel, poorly. All those are facts documented in most books on Ford. He was only human. I'm sure one could find negative things on everyone if they dug deep enough. One only needs too look at the current President and all the dirt the left is trying to toss out there. Yes, it is true Henry could not read a blueprint, but then Leo Fender couldn't play a lick on guitar, J. Edgar Hoover liked to dress in women's clothes, and Thomas Edison was not educated enough to realize that Nicolai Tesla was right with his AC current being better and safer over Edison's DC current practice.

Charleston paper reaches out to Orlando
During a week when staff members of the Post & Courier in Charleston were preparing to mark the first anniversary of a tragedy that rocked their community, another community was struck.
In the wake of the attacks at Pulse nightclub in Orlando on Sunday, the staff at The Post & Courier sent food and messages of support to the journalists covering the tragedy.
A photo of the letter accompanying the package was posted to Twitter by a sports reporter from the Orlando Sentinel.
"Our newsroom knows all too well the toll an ordeal like this can take," reads the note. The P&C recalls receiving gifts from other communities that had experienced similar trauma after the shooting at Charleston's Mother Emanuel A.M.E church in June 2015.
They said they simply wanted to pay that message of support forward.

Just a few years ago, private images of many celebrities were leaked online. This came after a wide-scale cloud hack prompted a lot of celebrities to take their cyber security very seriously. In what seems to be ages, there are now reports of Kylie Jenner’s Snapchat being hacked by an unscrupulous individual.
On July 23, followers of the 19-year-old scion of the Kardashian clan were bewildered to find stories that read “RT for her nudes” and “add for Kylie’s nudes.” We might not know if Kylie Jenner has any compromising photos on her Snapchat, but her fans are hoping that this will not turn into another 2014 “The Fappening” scandal.
Kylie Jenner’s Snapchat Hacked, Can We Expect Nude Photographs?
A source of HollywoodLife.com states that Kylie Jenner and ex-boyfriend Tyga were “obsessed with filming each other when they dated.” Although the source does not elaborate on where they filmed or what they used to film, it does raise a lot of eyebrows on what could come out if her Snapchat photos are indeed leaked. “There was barely a moment of their lives that they didn’t capture on their phones, some of which was extremely intimate,” adds the insider.
The young celebrity and business woman, popular for the Kylie line of cosmetics, still has not released any statement to the public. Many are assuming that she and her team are still trying to examine who could possibly have committed this startling invasion of privacy.
“The Fappening” Part 3?
In 2014, in a scandal that has been dubbed as “The Fappening,” nude photos of celebrities such as Arianna Grande, Jennifer Lawrence, and Emma Watson were circulated online as a result of the hack. However, in 2017, there was another set of celebrities who were involved in what was called “The Fappening 2.0,” which was aimed specifically at male celebrities. Despite this, celebrities such as Kate Hudson and Miley Cyrus were caught in the second onslaught of leaked photographs.
At this point, no one knows if the alleged perpetrator has access to her nude photographs, if any, but this does alarm a lot of people. If Kylie Jenner’s Snapchat can get hacked, who else could be involved and who else was hacked? Fans and followers are hoping that the perpetrator of this particular hack gets caught since this is definitely a clear invasion of privacy.

Here, Hansons’ furniture expert Scott Markham shines the spotlight on two types of antique chairs causing a stir at auction.
Orkney craftsmanship warms hearts
Orkney chairs proved popular in our May 2020 Fine Art Auction and, thanks to their rich heritage, you can understand why. The example below right, a 19th century Orkney chair valued at £300-£500, sold for more than double its high-end estimate, reaching £1,150. That was down to its good condition as well as its quality.
Orkney Chairs were first produced in the 19th Century on the Orkney Islands, which lie off the coast of north Scotland. Its materials are sourced from the islands’ natural environment, even though woodlands are not in rich supply. Consequently, the Orcadians had to scour the shoreline searching for driftwoods like oak and pine to build small, sturdy chairs. They have a straw, hand-crafted back-rest and those ancient traditions of hand craftsmanship are still used today.
There was no set design to the structure of the chair. Every craftsman had their own design, like wingback, dome top, tub shape, etc. They were designed with straw backs to absorb the heat from the fireplace, much needed during bitter Scottish winters. The dome shape designs provide additional shelter and a drawer is fitted for personal belongings.
In 1890 Liberty & Co of London started selling their own Orkney chairs which have an an Ivory label on the underside of the chair stating 'Liberty & Co, London'. These chairs were produced by D M Kirkness, of Kirkwall, Orkney.

Windsor chairs prove irresistible
Windsor chairs also soared to success in our May Fine Art sale. For example, a pair of 19th Century elm and ash Windsor chairs, valued at £300-£500, achieved a hammer price of £650. In addition, an early 19th Century elm and yew Windsor chair sold for £230, which matched its estimate.
It's not clear when the first Windsor chairs were made. However, as early as the 16th century, wheelwrights started coping out chair spindles in the same way they made wheel spokes. The design was probably a development of West Country, Welsh and Irish 'stick-back' chairs, but the evidence on origin is not certain.
It’s thought the first Windsor chair made its appearance in Buckinghamshire. The main centre of production eventually moved to High Wycombe. They were originally known as Forest chairs, because they were made from wood from the Forest of Windsor and Thames Valley. The first type of Windsor chair had a comb back. Later in the 18th century other styles emerged like hoop back, rod back and low back. In the 1720's Windsor chairs were imported to North America by Patrick Gordon and the first American Windsor chair was made in Philadelphia in 1730, based on the British design.
Traditional British Windsor chairs have an elm-moulded seat with beech turnings and yew or ash on the arms and back. The Americans used poplar, pine or tulip for the seat and materials like ash, oak, hickory or chestnut for the turnings, arms and backs. In the late 18th century furniture makers like Gillows of Lancaster supplied Windsor chairs as well as other makers based in London.
Entries invited for future auctions
We are sourcing entries of Windsor and Orkney chairs, as well as all types of antique furniture, for our Fine Art Auction at Bishton Hall, Staffs, in October. For a free valuation, please email [email protected] or [email protected]. Alternatively, call 01889 358050.

Achievement Learning Centre Has A New Home
Two years after being evicted special needs students return to in-person learning Come September month end, special needs students of the Achievement Learning Centre (ALC) will resume face-to-face education at its new facility in Canefield.
Many people will remember the ALC had closed its doors in early 2020 due to the inability to pay rent for the property where it was being housed on Elliot Avenue in Pottersville. This closure displaced scores of special needs children and their teachers.
That was coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic, which made a difficult situation worse by introducing online learning which was truly trying for some special-needs students and their parents.
Fortunately, the 2022 academic year will welcome ALC staff and students to a new compound. Executive Director of the ALC, Beverly LeBlanc, says students will return to the classroom in two phases.
"We are doing the final renovations to have the place ready for school," LeBlanc said. "We will bring the younger ones - Eagles One and Eagles Two - by the last week in September. The older ones will continue online and will join us in the physical space in October."
Staff of the ALC spent the two years searching for a building to relocate their operations but were met with no success. This time, however, was different as a parent came on board to champion the cause.
"We were helping an autistic child who was not able to fit into the school environment. While doing assessments for the child, the parent organised a room in a facility. We offered programmes for the child, used that facility, and brought in two other students who could not function online. In further discussions we secured three rooms to have as classrooms," LeBlanc said.
Money was a problem for the previous location in Pottersville, and while things are not optimal, financially, the centre found a way to work around it.
"Not having the best of finances we did a task analysis and broke down to small tasks what we need to do and approached corporate sponsors who have really come on board with providing some material we need to do the work and to pay for the labour," LeBlanc said.
The students range in age from four years in the lower levels, to thirteen into their twenties in the upper levels. The centre will take on a multigrade approach teaching both special education and vocational skills to target the different disabilities of each child.
LeBlanc reports that during the ALC's down time, staff worked diligently behind the scenes and will be welcoming more students this academic year.
"During our two-year break we worked on our structures. We developed a child profile form so when parents reach out to us, we send that form to get background information on children. We also have students who go to other schools but parents recognize they have challenges," she said.
The facility will boast not only of having a space for its staff and students but also offering new services which can help members of the disability community.
"One student was already assessed by a speech therapist; the child will be getting therapy at the centre," LeBlanc said. "What that will do is strengthen the capacity of our teachers because the therapist will train the teachers who will be working with the child to ensure the child gets the right therapy."
The ALC is always looking for ways to grow its scope and reach teachers across the country. To this end the centre is networking with teachers across the board to be coached on how to assist special needs children.
"I am working with teachers in other schools to provide training and strengthen capacity. There are children in classrooms but they need that support. We are looking at expanding our services where we go to the school which may have special needs children and don't know how to work with them," LeBlanc said.

Have you tried it out yet BUZZ Fam?
Dancehall artiste, Shenseea now has her very own Instagram filter. The filter is made from her Independence Day photoshoot, where she painted a Jamaican flag on her face.
That photo pretty much broke the internet and was shared multiple times, and across international platforms such as the Shaderoom. So it’s no surprise that that’s the photo that’s being used.
The Blessed artiste is the dancehall act to have gotten her own IG filter and is using it to promote her latest single Sure Sure.
She asked fans to tag her whenever they use it, and from all indications, they’re following her directives.
