Her mother seems to be constantly taking up for her sister, Stella-Rondo. Stella –Rondo is always antagonizing Sister and lying on her to cause problems within the family. Also, Uncle Rondo seems to be the family drunk. Last but not least, Papa-Daddy seems to be an old and cranky gentleman. Her dealing with these individuals has caused her to become very resentful, bitter and jealous.

His behavior and outlook on life are influenced by how his mother raises him. In Flannery O’Connor’s short story, “Everything that Rises Must Converge”, Julian and his mother maintain conflicting personal views surrounding the status of African-Americans in 1960’s society. Mrs. Chestny closely associates herself with the time period of plantations and slaves but says that she “can be gracious to anybody” (O’Connor 1017). Julian, on the other hand, believes his mother is a flat-out racist and almost feels the need to apologize to African-Americans for his mother’s behavior and attitude. Despite these clashes of perspective, the main conflict between mother and son derives from Julian’s inability to put his pride aside, accept the sacrifices his mother made for him, and move on from his lack of success in the real world.
With short life expectancy and the constant threat of disease, a young woman's best bet at reproduction was in her adolescent years. However, in the cases of both Ning Lao Tai Tai and her older sister Yintze, who were thrown into very unstable marriages, it made their lives much more problematic. Yintze had a decent enough husband, but her mother-in-law was unfair and highly abusive which would eventually lead her to insanity. On the other hand, Lao Tai Tai's marriage was set up by a 'professional matchmaker', who set her up with a husband who was hopelessly addicted to opium. He spent nearly all they had to fuel his addiction, and Lao Tai Tai and her daughter suffered severe poverty and hunger for many years because of her
She often feels like she has no privacy, and guys constantly hassle her on the street and pressure her from the beginning of a relationship. She never is able to have a long relationship. Likewise, Bethany does not see herself as a success story because she does not see herself as a “beautiful individual” they both envy each other’s success and looks. This alone shows the reader that the characters are very jealous of each other’s lives. The message hidden in this story is that people only see the bad side of their lives
This isn’t the only changing friendship that takes place on the show, not by a long shot. Multiple friendship swaps can be observed throughout the seasons. Alexis Bellino and Peggy Tanous were friends for years before the show, but are now feuding because Peggy neglected to inform Alexis of her and Alexis’ husband Jim’s previous romantic history. Gretchen and former housewife Lynn Curtin were very close friends, but during season six Gretchen tries to give Lynn parenting advice which creates a huge riff between the two women who are no longer friends. They may not have the best etiquette when it comes to friendships, but they seem to value these relationships a lot more than the other ones in their lives.
Sometimes, people ignore the fact that touching is not having sexual intimacy but the truth is that it’s critical sexual act. For example, Megan is a beautiful young woman who has started counseling due to her substance abuse problem. Her counselor, Dr. Patrick, is a very attractive man who has been there for Megan every time she needs support after having some temptations with alcohol. After a few months of counseling, Megan got the professional’s phone number for emergencies. Megan started frequently calling Dr. Patrick on the phone, even though her calls are not about her addiction problems.
The characters are eccentric and compelling in their own way on both shows. The cast of Atlanta include the following: Nene a very opinionated woman who we watch struggle with her marriage, but she is also trying to establish a career of her own as a TV journalist. Phaedra is a famous entertainment lawyer and she just gave birth to her first born son. Cynthia a former model, who is about to marry her fiancé but they go through a lot of financial hardship. Kim is known as the black sheep since she openly is a mistress of a man she refers to as “Big Papa” she lives with her two kids from previous marriages and tries to pursue a singing career, even though she
The cultural influence of television and movies are as similar to each other as they are to the other forms of media, with one major difference, you can physically see what results they are wanting you to see, without using your imagination. Television itself has a big effect on our culture because it is readily available, and it is in almost every home. Through the television and movies we see what others value, what others believe, the things that others use, and we decide whether or not we have the same values, or beliefs as others, or want to use what others do. The issue of race is a big issue that television programs and movies can influence. Back in the beginning of movies, and television, only whites were allowed to participate in them, most characters of other colors, were actually whites made up to be whatever color they were needing.
Cultural Studies and Consumption 5. Account for the role of reality television in reproducing problematic ideas about gender and social class. Number of words: 2372 Reality Television Big Brother, The Apprentice, Laguna Beach and the X Factor are all examples of reality television shows. Despite the huge development of the Internet, television still plays an important role in the lives of many people in contemporary society. In a short period of time, the new program formats of reality television have made successful inroads and became an undeniable part of the television system (Mast, 2003) The fact that reality TV shows never fail to attract and tempt their broad audience cannot be denied.


One of the biggest surprises of the European election in 2009 was just how well the Green’s Stephen Agnew and the then Alliance Ian Parsley did. Both polled so far beyond expectations they were in the running for the Slugger Awards ‘up and coming politician’ gong (is it a ‘gong’?).
A lot of water has passed under Parsley’s bridge since then – a jump to the Conservatives and subsequent failed run for Westminster beneath the UCUNF banner. With The UCUNF brand all but dead his political ambitions seem to be facing an early end and that frustration rings out in recent blogs.
The setting of Parsley’s star would seem to leave the field open for Agnew to easily retain Brian Wilson’s Assembly seat, something his European candidature was surely about profiling. Wilson’s vote was built on personal reputation that came to the Green’s with his defection from Alliance (I’ve heard his campaigning for years consisted of hundreds of hand written letters to supporters retained in the databank of his head – this could be myth but would be exceptional old school parish-pump politics) – unfortunately for Agnew he doesn’t have that background.
However, Mark Devenport notes developing rumours that Wilson’s wife, Anne, could join the fray as a 2nd Alliance candidate – with a constituency so strange could she pinch the Green seat and deliver the first Alliance two representative constituency? Or would she be a potential threat to Stephen Farry he would work to keep off the ticket? The undoing of Green ambitions via familial politics?

“I’ve never been so tired in my whole life,” said KC Johnson, who was Toledo’s senior quarterback that night.
Now the athletic director and head football coach at Adna High, Johnson knew his team’s season-opening game against the Spudders would be a test.
The previous season against Ridgefield, Johnson took what he described as one of the hardest hits of his life. It came courtesy of senior Burton Farley, a linebacker so big he wore a helmet sent by the Seattle Seahawks because none at Ridgefield would fit.
“Farley knocked me so hard, I went over the bench, over the water table and landed by the grandstand,” Johnson said. “Going into that game, we knew we were in for an absolute war. There were some really physical games back in those days.”
For four quarters, physicality and defense won the evening in downtown Toledo. When regulation ended, neither team had scored.
That triggered a “Kansas Plan” overtime, where each team gets one possession from the 25-yard line.
After neither team scored in the first overtime, both reached the end zone and converted the extra point in the second OT.
After the second OT, the teams then started each possession at the 10-yard line. They matched TDs in the third OT, shut each other out in the fourth, then scored seven points each in the fifth.
More in This Series
Toledo had a golden chance in the sixth overtime when Ridgefield’s kicker missed the extra point. Toledo then scored a touchdown, but the Spudders forced a seventh OT by blocking the extra point.
Ridgefield failed to score in the seventh OT, allowing Toledo to win when Johnson threw a 4-yard TD pass to Larry Kiser on the third play from scrimmage.
Johnson had more than endurance and skill working for him that night. He correctly called all seven coin tosses before each overtime, allowing Toledo to play defense first every time.
Johnson also correctly called the pregame coin toss. The odds of correctly calling eight consecutive coin tosses is one in 256.
But more rare was the game itself. At the time, it was the fourth-longest high school game in the nation. It stood alone as the longest in state history until 1986, when Quincy and Cascade (Leavenworth) also went seven overtimes.
The record wasn’t broken until 2006, when Bothell and Pasco played nine overtimes.
Johnson has been around high school football for 50 years. As a 5 year old, he began to tag along with the Raymond High teams coached by his father, Gary Johnson.
But the seven-overtime game remains among his most vivid memories and is still a conversation starter with fellow coaches and former players.
“It’s just something nobody can ever take away from you, like a state championship,” he said.
Osmundson also remembers that night and the stories that are still told decades later.
“A lot of people were there,” he said. “It was good small-town football.
The game, which started at 7:30 p.m., ended just before midnight.
“The kids were saying to each other ‘what did we just do?'” Osmundson said. “There were no losers that night.”

In late 2011 the Penn State scandal erupted. The scandal cost Joe Paterno his job. It cost me my silence. Only one year earlier my father admitted to molesting my nieces and nephews. As I tried to process the pain of losing my father I was forced to face the pain I endured not only at his hands, but the hands of a neighbor. I cried for hours as I watched my family deal with a new normal. Yet I stayed mostly silent.
That morning I woke to a sports guru commenting how the sanctions against Penn state were unfair. I came out of my bed screaming. The husband tried to calm me down, but my anger was beyond the point of no return. He just stood there bewildered at his wife, who normally hated sports, screaming over a “stupid” comment. That comment unleashed anger that I held inside for 30 years. Still, I didn’t tell him. I turned to my blog and expressed my frustrations. I continued to rant about the scandal until one evening he looked at me and asked, “Why are you so interested in this thing? It’s disgusting.” I took a deep breath and just simply said, “Because I know how that little boy felt.” It took 3 more years to tell him the whole truth, but I decided to never let my children near a coach without my presence.
My daughter dreamed of pursuing a gymnastics career in college so she joined a local team. She loved her coach, who was male and it took everything in me to not worry. In late 2015 rumors of problems within USA Gymnastics began to fly. By this point her coach and the team at the gym had earned my trust. They reassured me the girls were safe and so I relaxed. The summer of 2016 was a VERY exciting time in our house. There was non-stop talk about Gabby Douglas and Simone Biles, especially Gabby who my daughter idolized. We fell in love with Aly, Madison and Laurie. We knew the dedication and hours it took to excel at the sport. We were so very proud of the team. Like the rest of America, we were very unaware of the monster in the room.
I deliberately avoided the recent Larry Nasser gymnastics scandal. I’ve refused to read any articles, listen to the news or have an opinion. I kept my resolve until Sunday when a friend shared a post about the issue. I took a deep breath, clicked the link and read. I read about a doctor who abused the trust given him. Who hurt little girls in horrific ways. I was angry the more I read. How the girls spoke up. Again. And Again. AND AGAIN. And each time, no one did anything. The anger was not as strong as in 2012 but it was there. And so was the ache. The ache I cannot possibly describe. And the sheer gratitude that my daughter chose to walk away from gymnastics in pursuit of her academics after last year’s season.
Yes, my daughter was not exposed to Nasser. Nothing happened to her in the gym where she spent her afternoon and evenings pushing her body to do the most amazing things. She was safe. But others were not. Aly. Gabby. Simone. Those smiles in Rio are so haunting now. Those medals came with a huge cost. A cost no person on this planet should be forced to pay. But it’s not just the Olympic team. There are over a HUNDRED victims. And that is just those who have come forward. The number is staggering. I couldn’t keep away from this story. Which is how I found myself watching the testimonies.
As a survivor it is both empowering and taxing to be an advocate for sexual abuse victims. It means I live with triggers. Although they are getting better and I can avoid most situations or at least prepare myself, I can’t always avoid them. Watching Aly Raisman stand so strong and speak to Larry Nasser was hard. I was so proud of her. But at the same time, I cried because she shouldn’t be there. No one should. I honestly should have stopped at just Aly’s testimony, but I didn’t. I watched more. Story after story. And I told myself I was watching some of the strongest women on the planet. And I reminded myself that I was strong and I didn’t need to feel the emotions. Finally, I had to stop. One can only take depictions of abuse against little girls before they want to vomit.
It’s hard to comprehend. I just can’t understand the way we keep enabling pedophiles to groom and abuse our children. I can’t grasp why this keeps happening. And I REALLY cannot fathom why there are so many incidents over TWENTY years where those in charge SIMPLY DID NOTHING.
2017 unleashed a wave of exposure that is turning into a tsunami. My hope is the wake of these scandals will change the landscape of our society forever. No longer will a little girl be subjected to a doctor to hurting her in guise of “healing” her. No longer will it be acceptable for adult men to prey on little girls without consequences. No longer will those in charge be allowed to remain in charge when they willingly look the other way. No longer will our first response to a young woman speaking up be one of accusation against her but one of support and belief. No longer will victims remain silent.
You can read Aly’s powerful testimony here. “All these brave women have power and we will use our voices to make sure you get what you deserve — a life of suffering spent replaying the words delivered by this powerful army of survivors.” Aly Raisman

Activision Blizzard’s purchase process is at one of its peak moments, so Xbox and PlayStation are involved in a war of declarations for and against the agreement. This week it was confirmed that the investigations into the deal will be extended in the United Kingdom, something that Sony appreciated since it fears losing important franchises such as Obligations.
Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, decided it was time to speak again on the subject and respond to recent complaints by Sony and Jim Ryan, head of PlayStation. So during an interview with CNBC (via eurogamer) talked about the purchase of Activision Blizzard, competition in the industry, and the issue of exclusivity.

Spencer reiterates that Obligations and other sagas will continue on PlayStation
Spencer was questioned about the purchase of Activision Blizzard and recent comments made by Jim Ryan, who believes that the deal Microsoft offered them to keep Obligations on PlayStation is unfair.
The head of Xbox reaffirmed that Obligations and other sagas of the studio will continue to reach the rest of the platforms, including PlayStation. He clarified that his goal is and will continue to be to bring as many titles as possible to all players.
“I publicly stated to our fans and customers, which is where our greatest commitment is, that our expectation is that we will continue to launch Obligations on PlayStation and other places where people see it, and hopefully expand the places where people play all of our titles.
“That’s been our goal. We put the player at the center, and through technologies like cloud, PC release date and day, our expectation is that more players will play the titles we’re building in the future. That it’s our goal with all the titles we’re playing today,” Spencer said.
Xbox boss thinks competition is good
During the interview, it was discussed how the purchase of Activision Blizzard may impact Sony, especially given the success and continued growth of Xbox Game Pass. Spencer pointed out that Xbox is always looking for alternatives to compete and that the service was a result of that.
The manager believes that, in the end, competition is good, because it leads to innovation. He stressed that Xbox has been able to get ahead by competing “effectively”, always offering more content and value to its players. In this way Xbox Game Pass was born, a service that is key in everything related to the purchase of Activision Blizzard.
“We sat down like Microsoft and Xbox and thought ‘how can we innovate and create value…for gamers?’ And we came up with a new model for customers to build their game library, and gamers love it. I think that’s what competition is about. Competition is about driving competitors to innovate, driving competitors to do new things like the cloud, like subscriptions, like creating new intellectual property. And all we’ve been focused on is how do we compete effectively, how do we deliver more value to our customers.”
What does Phil Spencer think of exclusivity?
Previously, Spencer stated that there will be fewer and fewer exclusives in the industry, but they will still be present in every ecosystem. Now, he affirmed that Xbox will also have its exclusive titles, as they are important to promote its brand and business. However, his ultimate goal is to offer his products to the greatest number of people, no matter what platform they prefer.
“Title exclusivity has been something that has been the backbone of our industry for a long time. We made a move a few years ago, so when we release our games, we offer them on console and PC. from almost anyone with a web browser – you can go to xbox.com/play and play our games through the cloud. Our goal is to give players more access to our games in the future. That’s our goal.
“So when we think about exclusivity for us, we’re going to have exclusive titles on Xbox, we do it today, it’s part of our platform to drive affinity for what we do, but we want those games to end up being played by more gamers than ever before. before, and we developed the technology and innovation to make that possible,” Spencer concluded.
They can #Obligations stand between closing a $75 billion deal $ MSFT & $ ATVI? @XboxP3 lays out the case for gamers in @CNBCi – with $SONY suggesting the players could lose if the deal goes ahead… #COD #gaming #P.S #xbox @asiasquawkbox pic.twitter.com/BjpHb5JUIt

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- After a frustrating loss against the short-handed Atlanta Hawks Friday night, a game that could've pushed the Cleveland Cavaliers closer to clinching the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, Iman Shumpert went back out on the court to hoist extra shots and collect his thoughts.
To cap his postgame workout session -- which consisted of midrange jumpers and 3-pointers from all around the arc -- he sprinted up and down the Quicken Loans Arena floor. After all, he didn't get to do much of that during the 114-100 loss. Shumpert was glued to the bench in the second half -- only rising to offer encouragement to his teammates during an otherwise miserable night.
"No, I wasn't trying to send a message," Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue said.
Perhaps not. But it wouldn't be the worst idea. Shumpert scored zero points on 0-of-1 from the field. He also grabbed one rebound and committed two turnovers in six unproductive minutes, as the Cavaliers were outscored by 12 points during his brutal stretch.
"Just defensively get back to being a stopper," Lue said of what he needed from the enigmatic shooting guard. "Of course, it wasn't Shump's fault. Just something we were trying to different and it didn't work either. He's OK."
That much is debatable. Shumpert got off to a dazzling start this season, determined to erase the memories from the Finals no-show that haunted -- and pushed -- him the entire summer.
Prior to the All-star break, Shumpert was averaging 7.8 points on a career-best 42 percent from the field, including 40 percent from 3-point range in 25 minutes per night.
He forced his way into the starting lineup midway through January, a move that seemed to fuel his most productive month. He averaged 9.9 points on 46 percent from the field and 44 percent from beyond the arc.
But January is a long time ago. And Shumpert wasn't able to build off that. Since the break, Shumpert's numbers have dropped, averaging 6.8 points on 37 percent from the field and a wretched 27 percent from beyond the arc while getting the same amount of playing time.
He hasn't reached double figures in scoring since March 18, a game in which the Cavaliers rested their Big Three in a blowout loss against the Los Angeles Clippers.
After hitting at least two 3-pointers in 24 of the first 62 games, showing the improvement after tweaking his jumpshot mechanics, Shumpert has hit one or less in 11 straight games.
The Cavs need more. Much more. He's considered one of the best on-ball defenders -- even though the numbers certainly don't support that. With him on the court, opponents have an offensive rating of 111 and an effective shooting percentage of 51. To put that rating in perspective, that's the Cavs' overall offensive mark this season, ranking third in the NBA. With him off the floor, the rating actually drops, albeit by a slight margin (110).
According to ESPN's defensive real plus-minus statistic, which calculates a player's estimated on-court impact on team defensive performance, measured in points allowed per 100 defensive possessions, Shumpert ranks 285th and the Cavs are a negative with him.
Given his reputation and how the Cavs speak of him, shouldn't that be better?
Shumpert has had bright moments this season, pivotal in the Cavaliers' stifling Oklahoma City triple-double machine Russell Westbrook. But there have been far too many games like Friday night, as Shumpert seemed to drift around the court without a sense of purpose.
He's no longer in the starting lineup, a swap that Lue made a few weeks ago, and one that could help explain Shumpert's collapse. Lue has talked throughout this season how much better Shumpert is when he's not trying to do too much and the starters can create shots for him. Keeping it simple is key.
In this new role, Shumpert's supposed to be one of the linchpins of the second unit. But the transition has been choppy.
On Friday, the Hawks' weakened second unit decimated Cleveland's typical group, outscoring it, 55-21.
Mike Dunleavy. Mike Muscala. Malcolm Delaney. DeAndre Bembry. Ryan Kelly. Those were the unrecognizable five players that outplayed the Cavs' bench.
"We need more from everyone on a night like this," Lue said. "Having a big game like we had in Boston and coming back, traveling and then coming in, we needed a spark from our bench. We didn't get it. Their bench hurt us pretty bad. These are nights where we need guys to step up and be better."
With the playoffs approaching and Lue likely shortening his rotation, Shumpert is once again inching closer to can't-afford-to-play-him-much territory.
That's a considerable fall from a few months ago.


The National Council for Climate Change and Clean Development Mechanism of the Dominican Republic (CNLCC) says the new tender for the completing of the operation of the Punta Catalina coal-fired generation units is an indication there are serious flaws in the new operation. The consortium of Odebrecht, Techimont-Estrella built the power plant central. President Danilo Medina had announced the inauguration of the Punta Catalina 752 MW coal-fired plant for 17 March 2020. This never happened, as the government immersed itself in the coronavirus epidemic
These massive generation units, the most important infrastructure taken on by the Medina administration, abruptly cut out of the national grid on Friday, 17 April, just before President Danilo Medina was going to address the nation on the coronavirus.
According to the CNLCC, the fact that the Dominican Public Electricity Corporation (CDEEE) opened the bid for equipment to detect and identify the source of vibrations within electric generation systems, is proof of the deficient construction behind the generation park that is estimated to have cost upwards of US$3.5 billion.
The thermograph cameras and vibration detectors would be placed in the area of predictive maintenance within the structure of the Punta Catalina generation facility. The equipment would detect and analyze vibrations even if they are within permitted design limits, and they would also identify the possible causes of these vibrations.
The Committee says that this tender is “inexcusable” since the facility that ended up costing more than three and a half times the bid made by a Chinese firm should have come with this quality control system from the start.
The environmental group also noted that they have suggested to the presidential candidates in the upcoming elections to not sign off on receiving the Punta Catalina facility until a technical audit has been carried out by an experienced independent international company to certify that the plant is working properly and is fully compliant with the specifications contained in the original contract.
The Committee also noted that a huge rotor, the moving component of an electromagnetic system for generating electricity, fell from the hoist that was lifting it into place in June of 2017 during the attempt to stage a trial in October of that year. The rotor fell to the pavement, and the trial did not take place until a year later, in October 2018. As so happens, the rotor assigned for Unit 2 of the facility was placed in Unit 1, and the repaired rotor from Unit 1 was installed in Unit 2.
On Friday, 17 April 2020, Unit 2 was cut off and the country experienced a massive blackout, and the President’s speech was delayed for more than half an hour. Back in late March 2019, Unit 1 also cut out abruptly and suffered serious damage, remaining out of service for several weeks.
Why are these vibrations so important? The report from sources inside the plant reported that the vibrations are affecting the pipes and the walls of the boilers, the hydrogen seals and auxiliary equipment (pumps and so forth), as well as the ventilators for the system. The CDEEE recently announced the replacement of the hydrogen seals.

Pasta Salad with Charred Corn and Cilantro
Creamy-rich yet bright and fresh, this pasta salad takes inspiration from Mexican esquites, corn that typically is grilled or roasted and finished with a mixture of herbs, lime, chili and cheese. We simmer corn cobs in the water that’s later used for cooking the pasta for added sweet, grassy flavor. The kernels, meanwhile, are charred and tossed with brine from pickled jalapeños, cilantro, Mexican crema and salty cotija. And if fresh corn is out of season, frozen kernels that have been thawed and patted dry work nicely; you’ll need 2 pounds. If using frozen kernels, you won’t have cobs to simmer, so simply boil the pasta in the water.
cups fresh corn kernels from about 5 ears of corn, cobs reserved (see headnote)
ounces ditalini OR penne OR elbow macaroni

Last November, Florida passed Amendment 2, a law to legalize medical marijuana throughout the state. While medical marijuana was legal to a very restricted degree before November, Amendment 2 allowed a much vaster spectrum of conditions to qualify and made many more strains available to the public. The vote overwhelmingly passed, signifying Floridians readiness to embrace the many benefits of marijuana in their state. With the popularity of the plant making itself so well known in Florida, it seems that Disney World felt the need to clarify their position on the plant.
Marijuana Specifically Prohibited Like Alcohol
Walt Disney World Resort in Florida felt the need to update their rules so that they could specifically list marijuana as prohibited on park grounds. Technically speaking, marijuana has always been prohibited in Disney because it used to fall under “illegal substances” in the list of things that are prohibited. Since its legalization, the park has now had to point out marijuana as specifically forbidden, alongside alcohol. It’s not all that surprising that the park has chosen to make a point of keeping marijuana off the grounds. It was prohibited to begin with and now they are just taking the extra necessary steps to make this clear to anyone who enters the grounds.
Prohibition of All Forms of Medical Marijuana
Cannabis is being widely used as a source of medication right now in Florida. In particular, it is being used to help children who suffer from seizures. Unfortunately, even in conditions such as these, all forms of marijuana are prohibited in the park; even in the form of a tincture, pill or oil. “Although some states have legalized marijuana for medicinal or recreational use, marijuana remains illegal under federal law,” a spokesperson for Disney told WESH-TV. “We are revising our rules to clarify that marijuana is not permitted on our property.”
U.S. Attitudes Toward Cannabis
29 states and D.C. have legalized medical marijuana and, as the plant’s popularity grows, more and more lawmakers are working to protect the rights of states, businesses and consumers to have access to the medical marijuana industry. This week, Congress released the budget bill which forbids the Department of Justice from spending any money on going after the medical marijuana industry anywhere in the country. This echoes the sentiment of the public. Surveys indicate that the majority of Americans believe that medical and recreational marijuana should be legal. The feeling and support for marijuana keeps growing every year as more people become educated about the plant and experience its many benefits.
Despite placing it on the website as forbidden, it may be difficult to enforce the rule. People can still hide edibles or other discreet forms of marijuana on their person and it’s unlikely that they will be found out. Eventually, one way or another, the park may just have to adapt to the social changes that marijuana legalization brings on. It’s a difficult issue to fight forever, especially if the plant is descheduled or rescheduled and thereby made legal. Until then though, the park chooses to enforce prohibition and visitors to the park will have to make do.

Kristen and I flew to Seattle in June so that I could participate in my graduation ceremony from the University of Washington. I just finished up my Master's of Sustainable Transportation degree that I have been working on for 3 years. We then turned our trip into a multi-state tour to see friends and fit in an Alaskan Cruise. There is something really special about having so many fantastic family and friends who are willing to celebrate your accomplishments. Thank you first and foremost to Kristen who really outdid herself with the planning and coordination. It is impossible to appreciate how much thought and effort she puts into planning a trip unless you are there to see her do it. Also, thank you to everyone who made this event feel so special for me. It really was an honor.
Cullen and Heather were the first ones to meet us in Seattle. We landed close together, picked up our Dodge Caravan and rolled to the apartment. We booked a place for 8 because my mother Mitzie, her friend Deb, Darlene and Bob joined us in Seattle, and we needed a place to host a celebration dinner. Seattle was a great start to the trip. Our first Friday night in town also included being joined by our friend Greg and turned into a 3 a.m. event. Saturday morning one of my classmates organized a tour of Seattle utilizing bikeshare bikes, in spirit of our degree program and I was able to meet most of my classmates in person for the first time. Awesome job Brian. It was a great time.
Saturday afternoon when Mitzie and Deb arrived, the party really started. We did a pub crawl around the Ballard district hitting up 4 breweries all located within a few block radius. Mitzie was really leading the charge early on. The night didn't go so late for Kristen and I as the jet lag finally caught up with us, but some others pressed on. Our friend Jochen and his girlfriend Sandy join Cullen and Greg for some pool.
Sunday morning everyone luckily was in good form, and we spent some time in Green Lake Park taking family photos and enjoying the sunshine. Whoever said Seattle is rainy? Zach had joined us on Saturday night and was kind enough to serve as family photographer. He even created an awkward family photo for us.
Graduation finally arrived in the afternoon and I must have had the biggest entourage at the entire ceremony.
Our celebration moved from the University to the apartment, where we had 20 people by my count and gorged ourselves on Thai food and micro-brewed beer. Friends we have met in Arizona, Japan, Hawaii, and Germany traveled in from California, Wisconsin, Florida and quite a few locally. It is really amazing to have friends all over the world.
My niece Jessica made this beautiful wrapping paper for my graduation gift. Thank you Jessie.
I was having a really good time celebrating, and I loved having all the attention for my accomplishment, but we had to leave Seattle. We left Seattle on Monday morning and drove to Vancouver to board our Alaskan Cruise. I will admit right up front that we only proposed a cruise to entice our families into a longer joint vacation, and in the end, we ended up having a great time. Judge all you want, but an Alaskan Cruise is amazing. As soon as we boarded our ship, there was a nice surprise for Kristen and I that Darlene had planned.
There are too many things that we saw and did to detail each one, and the pictures should do more justice than I can do anyway. What I didn't capture in photos was our kayaking day in Ketchikan when we saw whales surfacing 60 meters away, harbor seals playfully watching us and bald eagles diving for fish. During the remainder of our time and our stops in port, we cycled to a glacier and a brewery in Juneau, rode a gold-rush era train to a trail head for a hike to a glacier in Skagway and glided through Glacier Bay as if our cruise ship were a 16 foot fishing boat.
Our first day started out with a clear sky, a fantastic sunset, and a creepy fog that rolled in and engulfed the ship.
Shots from the ship and glacier bay...
Each day the stewards would fold the towels into animals, and it was a great thing to look forward to.
The food on the ship was quite good as well, but I didn't spend much time taking photos of it. However, the entire pig being roasted was a surprise.
Upon arriving at our final destination in Seward, we were greeted by our Friend Casey and his girlfriend Lisa. From this point of the trip onward, we had to do very little planning of our own. Casey and Lisa had prepared quite the itinerary. We were in Alaska for 3 days, and spent some time in Anchorage at Casey's house, and in Talkeetna at a cabin they had rented. Along the way we visited an aquarium, a spectacular animal sanctuary with all of the large animals one would expect to see in Alaska, a mud flat where the tide varies by as much as 23 feet per day and people have gotten stuck when the tide is out, and we even saw surfers riding the boar tide as it was coming into the bay. An act of humanity that must also be mentioned is the free coffee stand that we happened upon in Anchorage. Jim was a really incredible person who started this stand because he wanted to offer coffee to the neighbors who picked up litter in the mornings. That was 6 years ago.
Here are the guys on standup paddleboards riding the boar tide
Our time in Alaska seemed much too short when we hopped a redeye to Denver. Thanks again Lisa for the comfort touches along the way.
Right from the landing in Denver, we were on the go. Megan picked us up at the airport and took us to their beautiful new home where Ian was taking a small nap, but rallied like a champ after working an all nighter. They have done a great job turning their new house into a place I greatly envy. We did a tour of Denver on bicycles after we fueled up for the day with the biggest biscuit sandwich I've ever had. I also had a sweet roll that I carried around with me and snacked on all day. I love hearty breakfast food. Denver is full of breweries and distilleries, and is making real progress on being bike friendly. We had a really good day exploring. Denver has some great graffiti art as well.
Megan's mom Susan really made our day by treating us to some sushi when we stopped in to say hello after our ride.
We continued our night out with drinks and dinner on the town. Luckily we didn't go too hard, because Andrea arranged bikes for us to go mountain biking. After a flat tire and an innertube search, we got down the trail and had a fantastic day. The sunshine in Denver certainly helps with enjoying the outdoors. The best thing about Denver is that all rides end with a good brew.
Our Denver friends really went out of their way to keep us busy. We had group dinners, cocktails at an awesome speakeasy, a backyard barbecue at Megan and Ian's and a night out with all the speechies that Kristen knows in Denver. One of the other husbands, Ray, and I were lucky to have each other, because even though I love SLP's, they really love to talk about speech. To cap off the outdoor adventures, we took part in our first 14er as well. It was not as physically demanding as I thought it might be, but it was really beautiful.
Can you spot the marmot guarding the mound from his post on the roof?
Of course all good trips have to end, and we spent our last morning at the botanical gardens with Megan and Ian. What a great way to end our trip. Thank you everyone.

“What exactly is innate creativity?
It is a journey through which new ideas and different inspirations are created. It is symbolized by change, rebelling against tradition, and drawing outside of the box that is standard thinking. The cornerstone of innovation is creativity, which is not just restricted to creative expression but the ability to simply create, whether it be art, stories, solutions, or new inventions or ideas.
**Teachers, scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs, engineers—these are all individuals who challenge their creative side in order to further cultivate change in the world we are familiar with today. According to Brene Brown, creativity acts as a medium for both emotional expression and ingenuity.”

A scope creep in Miley Cyrus’ ‘friendship’ with underwear model Justin Gaston was evident from their handholding as they left Mr. Chow Thursday night, March 12.
The fast maturing Hannah Montanna didn’t flash her once customary victory sign, lit up by her high wattage smile. Instead, the sixteen-year-old looked almost dour faced, and gave a ‘John Mayerish’ response to a pap who asked her if she had a crush on Angelina Jolie.
“I have a crush on Jen,” she said!
Maybe digs on her age and inexperience by Radiohead and Russel Brand haven’t gone down well with Disney Star, and she has taken it upon herself to prove them wrong.
Miffed by Radiohead’s refusal to meet her at the Grammy, Miley told at radio station recently: “I’m going to ruin them. I’m going to tell everyone.”
To which the English alternative rock group responded: “When Miley grows up, she’ll learn not to have such a sense of entitlement.”
To add to Miley’s woes, Russel Brand, referring to Miley’s autobiography, Miles to Go, told MTV, “She’s only been alive half an hour. What’s she going to say: ‘The womb was warm’?”
Miley says the Radiohead dis was a huge disappointment to her, “I was so upset.”
But Coldplay exceeded her expectations. “Coldplay was so nice. Chris Martin hung out with me the whole time,” she gloated.

Pacific Ocean - The hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) Medical Treatment Facility held a change of command ceremony while underway, July 20.
During the ceremony, Capt. Kevin Buckley was relieved as commanding officer of the medical treatment facility by Capt. Patrick Amersbach.
Capt. Buckley arrived aboard Comfort in June 2017, during his tenure, Buckley lead the Comfort in disaster relief efforts in Puerto Rico after a devastating hurricane and several humanitarian and medical missions in Central America, South America and the Caribbean.
“As my time as [commanding officer] comes to a close, I’m humbled and honored to be a part of such an exceptional and professional team,” said Buckley. “I could not be more proud of the work that we have accomplished over three deployments where we helped over 45,000 patients.”
Amersbach comes to Comfort following his time as the executive officer of Naval Hospital Twentynine Palms, California, where he lead operations for the command and health care delivery to 24,000 beneficiaries located at various commands.
“From its first deployment in support of Operation Desert Storm to New York City after the 9/11 terrorist attacks to the multiple deployments in support of humanitarian missions across the globe, there is no doubt that the Comfort has a purpose,” said Amersbach. “We will continue to not only meet the mission goals set forth by higher authority, but we will do it in a way that will continue to bring honor to the United States Navy and our Nation.”
Comfort is currently deployed on a medical mission in South America and the Caribbean, marking the ships seventh deployment to the region since 2007. At each of the stop, the embarked medical teams will provide care aboard the Comfort and at two land-based medical sites, helping to relieve pressure on national medical systems strained partly by an increase in Venezuelan migrants.

The technology for making composite axes and hatchets has come a long way in the past ten years. But with all the advances and innovative features offered by fiberglass, wood axe makers like Gransfors Bruks and CRKT are busier than ever.
It’s hard to fault a well-crafted wood axe handle. They flex on impact, feel comfortable in hand, and look impressive. But that’s not all they offer, so keep reading as we reveal all the benefits of wood axe handles.
Are you researching axe handles? You may like to get the details on the difference between wood and composite handles.
What are the benefits of using a wooden axe handle?
Wood axe handles offer several advantages, such as comfort, balance, shock absorption, and the ability to custom-make the haft to fit your hand perfectly. They also last many years with proper care. Perhaps most importantly, a wood axe handle offers aesthetic appeal that other materials can’t match.
1. Eye-catching appearance
While an axe needs to perform, the tool’s looks can also greatly influence buying decisions. Wood axe handles have a timeless look that modern tech can’t compete with. With the right skills, an old axe can be restored to a work of art. Try doing that with a composite or steel handle.
While food lovers post pics of their latest cake or burger, outdoor enthusiasts show off their latest axe. Check out Axe Junkies over on Facebook if you don’t believe us.
2. Impressive comfort
A well-designed wooden axe handle offers impressive comfort that other materials don’t provide. If you’ve ever held a Gränsfors Small Forest Axe, you’ll know what we’re talking about. No matter where you grip this tool, it feels comfortable and well-balanced.
While steel and composite handles can’t be modified, wood axe handles are easily altered. A feature that’s a handy benefit as we all have different-sized hands. The helve can be planed and sanded down so that it’s a perfect match for the user’s grip.
For safety and durability reasons, axe manufacturers often produce their handles a little on the large size. However, excessive size reduces swing accuracy and power and results in premature hand fatigue. Anyone handy with wood can reshape the handle for better results.

4. Shock absorbent
While composite handles have made valuable advances in reducing impact shock, wood also helps minimize vibration. Less shock means less wrist and shoulder pain, so you can keep swinging longer.
Choosing an axe constructed with suitable wood is essential. Varieties like hickory, oak, black locust, and maple are some of the best choices. They offer the right balance of spring, weight, and strength.

5. Corrosion resistant
As you’d expect, wood handles are non-metallic and won’t rust like steel axes.
Some models also feature a powder coating on the blade, which adds a layer of protection against corrosion.
Repairing a fiberglass handle is tricky, so the whole axe must be replaced. It is a wasteful practice as the axe head is still perfectly fine.
Wood handles are often repairable. For this reason, survivalists, tool shed tinkerers, and eco-friendly types of people will likely prefer wood. If the damage is severe, remove the old helve and replace it with a new one.
Wood handles are non-conductive, making them a safer choice for use around electricity. There’s less chance of electric shock. While this advantage won’t impact most axe users, some workers operate in dangerous conditions where safety is a strong focus.
8. Super grippy
Wood grain offers excellent grip no matter where the hands are positioned. Even in the rain, the tool feels secure throughout the entire swing.
What are the disadvantages of wood axe handles?
- Susceptible to weather: Sweltering weather isn’t wood’s friend. Over time, the handle will crack or warp. Wet conditions also degrade traditional wooden axes and hatchets, making them swell.
- Lack of standardization: While axe makers can produce consistent-sized wood axes, they don’t have complete control over the wood’s quality. It may have weak points or knots. Manufacturers produce materials like steel and fiberglass to a specification that’s more consistent.
- Challenges sourcing materials: Sustainable, fast-growing trees are easy to find but don’t make good axe wood. Hardwood varieties are needed, like hickory or maple. Sadly, factors like urbanization, forest fires, and disease make them harder to source.
- Maintenance required: While composite axes require little maintenance, the wood variety must be cared for. Splinters may need sanding, and wood needs oiling if you want it to last. Remember, whatever material handle you choose, the axe head will still need sharpening and upkeep.
Axe handles made of wood have a range of benefits, including comfort, balance, shock absorption, and the ability to make alterations.
With careful maintenance, wood handles can survive for many years. But it’s the visual aesthetics of wood axe handles that many consider their greatest strength.
Are wood handles the best? That comes down to personal preference. Most axe forums and social media groups have big followings for wood-handled axes and hatchets.
Fiberglass axes last forever – you can throw them the hardest jobs, and they barely flinch. But there’s something about a wooden axe that is hard to put into words. They’re comfortable in hand and do an excellent job. There’s a reason that almost every” best axe” page published has multiple axes with wood handles on their list.

The U.S. Supreme Court began a new term Monday in which it will make decisions on race and affirmative action that could affect mightily the state of race relations in America.
The thorniest of several highly controversial cases before the court involves the Piscataway, New Jersey, school board, which, in order to reduce by one the high school faculty, retained the lone black teacher and let go a white teacher of equal ability and seniority.
A lower federal court ruled that this "race-conscious" decision violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This court interpreted that statute to forbid all race-conscious acts and employment, except to remedy previous discrimination. The Piscataway school board has appealed, but some fear that this increasingly conservative Supreme Court not only will uphold the lower court but will decide that race-conscious decisions in employment are unconstitutional under all circumstances.
While much of America focuses on whether Sandra Day O'Connor will be the "swing" vote in this critical case, black America is intensely worried about the role of Clarence Thomas, the archconservative who is the lone black member.
Much of the discussion in black America is about how Thomas has become George Bush's curse on both the court and the civil rights movement. One of Bush's aides once told me that Bush was hurt and angry that black voters would not support him in great numbers. The aide said that Bush chose Thomas for the Supreme Court to spite blacks, and that he once said: "They'll never like me, but they won't forget me."
At least half of that statement is certainly true.
Thomas remains a pariah throughout black America, except for a tiny slice of black conservatives. Blacks see Thomas doing more than anyone else to make their once great benefactor -- the Supreme Court -- their enemy, and a destroyer of the civil rights movement.
It isn't just Thomas's right-wing voting that dismays blacks and other workers for racial and social justice. It is the influence they see Thomas wielding on moderate members of the court.
The late Thurgood Marshall, the first black member of the Supreme Court, pricked the consciences of all the justices, exhorting them to understand that many actions based on race were still necessary to achieve justice because the United States is not remotely close to becoming a color-blind society.
Thomas, however, is seen as encouraging other justices to be cruelly insensitive on matters of race and other social issues. Consciously and subconsciously, some of the eight white justices must say, "Why should I jump ahead of my black colleague (Thomas) in protecting minorities? I can't pretend to be blacker than he is." Thus, this Supreme Court now sermonizes over the virtual death of the civil rights movement.
If George Bush wanted revenge in naming Thomas to the high court, he is getting it in tragic portions.

text: Spatial and temporal linkages between large-scale atmospheric oscillations, namely, North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Southern Oscillation (SO) and North Sea-Caspian Pattern (NCP), and meteorological droughts in Turkey were investigated in this study. The corresponding oscillation indexes (NAOI, SOI and NCPI) were considered as monthly time indicators of the oscillations while the Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) obtained from 148 stations was used to define meteorological droughts. The suitability of various probability distributions was evaluated to obtain precise estimations of SPI values. Correlation analyses were then conducted to assess spatial and temporal distribution of the relationship between the oscillation and drought indexes. The linkages between the NAOI, NCPI and SPI were found to be more significant at the lag-0, while the SOI had significant positive and negative correlations with SPI series at lag-1-2. Moreover, our results revealed that the NAO is more dominant in the west and in the central Anatolia regions while the NCP has more influence on the northern and eastern regions.

For the first time astronomers have located a pulsar – the super-dense, spinning remains of a star – nestled within the remnants of a supernova in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The image above, a composite of x-ray and optical light data acquired by NASA’s Chandra Observatory and ESA’s XMM-Newton, shows the pulsar shining brightly on the right surrounded by the ejected outer layers of its former stellar life.
The optically-bright area on the left is a large star-forming region of dust and gas nearby SXP 1062.
A pulsar is a neutron star that emits high-energy beams of radiation from its magnetic poles. These poles are not always aligned with its axis of rotation, and so the beams swing through space as the neutron star spins. If the Earth happens to be in direct line with the beams at some point along their path, we see them as rapidly flashing radiation sources… sort of like a cosmic lighthouse on overdrive.
What’s unusual about this pulsar – called SXP 1062 – is its slow rate of rotation. Its beams spin around at a rate of about once every 18 minutes, which is downright poky for a pulsar, most of which spin several times a second.
This makes SXP 1062 one of the slowest known pulsars discovered within the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy cruising alongside our own Milky Way about 200,000 light-years distant.
The supernova that presumably created the pulsar and its surrounding remnant wrapping is estimated to have taken place between 10,000 and 40,000 years ago – relatively recently, by cosmic standards. To see a young pulsar spinning so slowly is extra unusual since younger pulsars have typically been observed to have rapid rotation rates. Understanding the cause of its leisurely pace will be the next goal for SXP 1062 researchers.

A blatant woman has vowed to stage an open protest at Masaka State lodge in Masaka city with her 2 children over a land eviction until president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni intervenes in her matter.
Immaculate Nyonyintono has decided to forcefully seat at the entrance of the State Lodge at Kizungu zone accusing the courts of an unfair court decision to push her off the legitimate land she has occupied for the past 12 years.
Nyonyintono has been fighting with one Frank Takaya over the ownership of the disputed one-acre piece of land in Kyantale village in Kabonera Sub County in Masaka city.
In July 2020, the Masaka Grade One Magistrate, Author Ziraba directed both parties to stay off the land until the court deals with the situation.
However, Nyonyintono who feels more aggrieved says she is tired of sleeping hungry on the streets yet the crops she planted on the 1-acre piece of land are rotting away untended to.
She accuses Takaya of conniving with the police and court to influence the unfair decision to kick her out of the land.
However, efforts to convince the mother of two have since hit a snag as she has refused to leave the state lodge until President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni comes to her rescue.
Masaka Resident District Commissioner, Herman Ssentongo is currently convincing Nyonyintono to leave the state lodge while they help her to recover her land.
