Joys of Self Discovery (Male)
It has been a lifetime of joyous discovery for me and hopfully that will continue for a long time
yet. I can't remember how old I was when I first began masturbating but I can guarantee it opened my
eyes to a very enjoyable process which I continue to this very day.
Drawn-out tease with homemade toys (Female)
My favoirte way is to start with anal play a few hours before I get

car or sitting at the computer until I get so horny I think I can't

NATALIE DEAN RELEASES HER NEW SINGLE - "DAMAGED PARTS" with TLG Entertainment / INgrooves Music
IMMEDIATE RELEASE -
Bay Area, CA - Old time Classic Rock, Modern Day Indie Pop, and Contemporary R&B is the blend that smoothly delivers from the enticing sultry vocals of songstress Natalie Dean. Her latest release "Damaged Parts"is the fashionable single to hit the rhythm and melody she continues to develop. For songwriters and poets, it is living life that brings their art to life. Natalie Dean understands where the words of her heart lie and she weaves them into beautiful vocals that say without a doubt: star. She is able to handle the complexities of her genre blends skillfully and without fault. "Damaged Parts" is now available via TLG Entertainment/INgrooves.
NATALIE DEAN NEW SINGLE RELEASE
'"Damaged Parts" is a tribute to my childhood and my relationship with my father who has struggled for years with alcoholism. The song addresses the both of us by explaining how fragile the relationship between a parent and child can be. When one side loses grip, both seem to fall. "Damaged Parts" is for those who too are learning to see their scars as beautiful and a sign of strength rather than weakness."' - Natalie Dean
Producers : Natalie Dean (writer/composer/vocals); Jean Lephare (producer/composer); Phil Taylor (TaylorMaydMusik) Music Group, Nashville (original demo - Larry Beaird- Composer); Jared Conrad (producer); and Charlotte Avenue Entertainment (producer)
NATALIE DEAN "BROKEN LOVE OF OURS"
RELEASED IN SEPTEMBER 2020
18-year-old singer-songwriter Natalie Dean combines her love of old-time rock and roll with her idea of modern-day indie-pop and contemporary R&B. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay area allowed her to be exposed to the many genres and sounds of the West Coast. She found a love for songwriting back in 2011 after the rocky divorce of her mother and father. Natalie has always considered herself to be an "old soul" and truly believes that she was born 20 years too late. Two years ago, she was gifted a keyboard which kickstarted her present-day songwriting process. Fresh out of high school and starry eyed, Natalie is ready to take the music world by storm and start a journey of her own. She believes that songwriters are the poets and story tellers of today. In under four minutes, they have the ability to tell a story in a way that words alone on paper never could. Some of her greatest musical inspirations come from the piano pop/rock era of the 70's and 80's with Billy Joel, Elton John, and Queen. Natalie hopes to have the ability to collaborate with other artists and songwriters in the near future while concurrently developing her own sound.
"If I can leave anything behind from this lifetime, I hope it will come in the form of a song. Something to sing to, something to dance to, something to fill the quiet space between moments in time." -Natalie Dean

Scientists Seek Origin of Powerful Radio Waves from Another Galaxy
Far away, in a distant dwarf galaxy, something may be trying to get our attention.
Since 2016, scientists have been baffled by the phenomenon known as FRB 121102, a series of radio waves that appear to be broadcast out to the stars in much the same way that we send out desperate messages in the hopes of connecting with some other intelligent life.
There is, though, one big difference between FRB 121102 and our own relatively humble attempts at getting someone's attention - when we send a message, it doesn't involve an explosion that gives off more energy in a millisecond than our sun does in an entire day.
Fast radio bursts (shortened to FRB) are not an uncommon sight across the stars - these big bursts of radio waves are believed to be the result of enormous explosions, perhaps caused by neutron stars meeting black holes, or by other, similarly enormous cataclysmic events. Some scientists theorize that these may occur as often as ten thousand times a day, even though we've only managed to spot around twenty since FRBs were first discovered in 2007.
It's easy to dismiss such large, seemingly random pops and sparks in the night's sky as nothing more than natural phenomenon; no particular pattern or code seems to be in use, so it's logical that these are merely the result of standard inorganic occurrences throughout the universe.
Astronomers peer into the lair of a mysterious cosmic radio burster. A new @nature paper by Daniele Michilli and Jason Hessels of @ASTRON_NL and @uva_api, among others. https://t.co/7pQsf4vQIa #AAS231 #FRB pic.twitter.com/7KpCvnaqDn— ASTRON (@ASTRON_NL) January 10, 2018
What makes FRB 121102 so interesting is that it doesn't look quite so random - if FRBs are caused by exploding stars, there needs to be a logical reason why the same star is exploding multiple times. This particular event was first discovered in 2016, and has puzzles scientists because, instead of a one-off burst of radio waves, FRB 121102 shows the same event repeating more than once.
According to Jason Hessels, one of the authors of a new paper about the phenomenon, this is a potentially huge breakthrough in understanding FRB events:
Hessels' paper, which was just published by Nature, details how he and a team of scientists from the University of Amsterdam found that the signal from this distant FRB had been warped by plasma clouds on its journey to us, scrambling the signal somewhat.
Apparently, FRB 121102 originated from an event that took place three billion light years from Earth, in a staggeringly enormous cosmic event. The signals from this event then traveled through space to us, passing through a cloud of plasma that was filled with electrically charged plasma that twisted the radio waves in a process called Faraday rotation.
Whatever happened in this cloud, the signals ended up being distorted five hundred times more than any FRB that scientists have observed before. Unfortunately, this distortion in the signal, like white noise in a traditional radio broadcast here on Earth, means that it's very difficult to figure out what the original event may have been like.
The paper is unable to conclude whether FRB 121102's repeating signal was caused by a single event, or by multiple different major explosions. And there's currently no evidence to suggest that this signal was the work of a hyper-advanced intelligent race of aliens, in case anyone was jumping to that conclusion already.
That said, if you had the power to set off multiple neutron star explosions in a row, and you knew that it was the only way of broadcasting your existence to the universe so that beings who would one day exist in another galaxy would know that you were alive, wouldn't you want to use your tech to try and leave a lasting impression on the universe around you?
Even if there's no evidence pointing to an announcement from an ancient alien race, let's face it - if humanity ever actually builds something as powerful as a Death Star, this is the kind of thing we'd use it for.

Eileen Atkins in Gosford Park | 2001
Clip Name: Wilson & Croft
About this actor
Dame Eileen June Atkins, DBE (born 16 June 1934) is an English actress and occasional screenwriter. Atkins was born in the Mothers' Hospital in Clapton, a Salvation Army women's hostel in East London. Her mother, Annie Ellen (née Elkins), was a barmaid who was 46 when Eileen was born, and her father, Arthur Thomas Atkins, was a gas meter reader who was previously under-chauffeur to the Portuguese Ambassador. Atkins attended the Latymer School, Edmonton and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Her mother was told by a gypsy that Eileen would be a great dancer, so she was sent to dancing classes from an early age, and appeared dancing in working men's clubs as "Baby Eileen" throughout the war years. Her first stage appearance was at the Open Air Theatre, Regent's Park in 1953. She also appeared on-stage with Laurence Olivier, John Thaw and James Bolam in Semi-Detached (1962) by David Turner.

Fastidiousness: n. being meticulous and difficult to please and demanding
A fastidious human is often a perfectionist and if you are on the receiving end of requests or demands from a fastidious boss then you realize how difficult it is to please him or her and the detailed demands can even be slightly traumatic and hard to achieve. Fastidious humans tend to be highly critical of their own efforts and those of others and one can feel from time to time that it is too much criticism.

We’re finally progressing towards our planned destination at a swift speed. I returned the hire car to Enterprise in Fazeley on Monday morning. Fortunately my elder sister Kath was able to collect me from there and get me back to the boat. Barry and Kim had by then moved to Alrewas!
Barry took the chance to hand over his Greeting Cards business to Kath to manage while we’re away in New Zealand, so rest assured your orders will continue to be fulfilled!
The River Trent
I had a lovely walk from one lock to the other on the River Trent section after Alrewas. A welcome break from catching up on Ad-extra work. Since then it’s been full-on for me, though I’ve been in and out doing locks, and had a brief respite yesterday lunchtime when we met up with our dear friend Andrew Denny (aka Granny Buttons) at The Dragon in Willington.
We moored in that area over much of the winter of 2015, at Mercia, and really enjoyed our surroundings. We find Willington to be a very friendly and well-kept village. The lunch was delicious with great service, good social distancing and hygiene was observed. We hadn’t realised we’d be participating in the ‘Eat Out To Help Out’ scheme does that was a bonus. Andrew got Barry to take a few head and shoulders shots of him, and we got him to return the favour and take a few of us together. Such pictures are a rarity, and both Andrew and Barry admire each other’s skills in this department.
As we cruised past Andrews’ gorgeous house, once we’d said a fond farewell, he managed to get a few shots of us waving. Haere Ra Andrew. Till we meet again, take good care of your lovely self.
Areandare’s Birth Place
Not long afterwards, We cruised past Areandare’s birth place near Stenson Lock, on the Trent and Mersey Canal. It seems there’s a brand new building sprung up since we were last here …
A humongous (they always feel like that!) recently purchased shiny wide-beam boat beat us to the lock. The new owner had come out of Mercia Marina, turned left (the only way they can go!) and travelled down to get a lesson in driving and locking from a fellow wide-beamer (unlikely to be a real word but hey ho!). They look magnificent inside, but there’s no way Barry or I would want to be driving one of these clumsy things on the canals. She bounced into the lock with what looked like little accuracy using a steering wheel …
A Celebratory Walk
Last night we moored up a short distance from Swarkeston. Kim was ecstatic to finally finish her Masters In Inclusive Education Thesis and jumped around the boat for joy. We’re hoping to see a lot more of her in the next ten days before we head much further south. What an epic journey she’s been on to complete it. I’m so proud of her.
We celebrated with a few drinks and a walk along the Little Eaton to Melbourne (the UK version!) and Worthington Cycle Path after dinner.
This evening we moored on the wide River Trent. It’s been a while since we were last moored where waters meet near Trent Lock; early 2018 Barry reckons. I wasn’t with him as we think I’d left the boat at Shardlow to go to mums.
This evening we’re meeting up with a dear friend originally from the UK, who I worked with in midwifery at Gisborne Maternity Unit and Te Puia Springs. We haven’t seen each other since I left in 2013. Julie returned to the UK a few years after us, and also lives on a narrowboat.
Our Journey …
We’re making fabulous progress on our journey to Debdale Wharf. There may be a few modifications to our plan, but nothing is certain as yet. We’re all used to uncertainty now aye?! The orange highlighter marks our route …

Gwyneth Paltrow Hailed Most Beautiful Woman, Bashers React on Twitter
By Czarina Malleta | April 26, 2013 11:01 AM EST
Beauty is subjective. There are different perceptions about beauty and what people find beautiful. But after Gwyneth Paltrow was named the "Most Beautiful Woman" by people magazine, some bashers on Twitter couldn't help but react.
The 40-year-old actress was an unexpected pick from a long list of beautiful actresses in Hollywood. However, People magazine made their decision final because of her "timeless look."
Gwyneth managed to beat other young actresses also worthy of the title like Jennifer Lawrence, Amanda Seyfried, and her best friend Beyonce who was given the "Most Beautiful Woman" title last year.
But while Gwyneth must be honored and happy, the news attracted bashers on Twitter. On the social networking site, users have voiced out negative comments towards the "Iron Man" actress.
"If Gwyneth Paltrow is the most beautiful woman in the world then I'm a ten times Olympic bobsled gold medalist and Top Gun fighter pilot," one user said.
"So People magazine has declared Gwyneth Paltrow is the world's most beautiful woman, I wonder how they decide this. Bunch of c**p," another said.
Gwyneth is not particularly the most adored celebrity in Hollywood. In fact, she was highly criticized for her advocacy in "clean living." She has been accused of being arrogant and giving advice from cooking to dressing up.
But despite her bashers, Gwyneth Paltrow seems unaffected with the comments regarding her new title. During the premier of "Iron Man 3" in Hollywood, she proved that she's not only the most beautiful but also the most daring when it comes to fashion pieces.
The actress was dressed in a very sheer gown that revealed her hip side and forced her to go commando. It might be her way to deal with her bashers and step out as a more confident woman, but surely enough, her wardrobe pick will create more criticism.

He has a great sense of the style needed to make this type of show relevant to a C21 audience — clearly influenced by recent operetta productions by Barrie Kosky and others at Komische Oper Berlin. In his hands, the work has tremendous energy and sense of fun, both of which are strongly communicated to the audience throughout.
Photo: Barbara Braun. However, he misses his sweetheart, Marie, played by Sharon Brauner, with the smokiest voice I have ever heard! The story is much more involved than this, but Kurt Ganzl tells it much more clearly than I can! Others who particularly impress and there is not a weak link in the cast are the eight exceedingly adorable and attractive young ladies who sing, dance and act with so much enthusiasm that they must be totally exhausted afterwards!
The small semi-circular stage is particularly well used by both the director and choreographer Christopher Tolle , especially when one considers that there is no wing space at all. Set design Friedrich Eggert is imaginative, taking in the front of the restaurant bar as well, and as I have already intimated, costumes Heike Seidler are often spectacular, always appropriate, and add to the organized mayhem of the occasion. The superb small orchestra, including a few strings, piano and tuba, provide strong support under the direction of Johannes Roloff.
One can either get a combined reserved ticket for dining and show at Tipi, or an unreserved one without meal towards the rear of the Big Top, but even here one is very close to the action, at times perhaps too close! In short, a wonderful revival of an hilarious, period musical. A truly great night out — more please!

Because we can't all be The Flash!
So I have been running a "40K in a Flash" (from WD 288 I believe, and it was posted on the GW website for years) Campaign at my FLGS for a while now (about 6 months) and it has been going rather slow, but I got a game in this week so I thought I would share it with everyone. The basic concept of "40K in a Flash" is to be able to get a game over in about 40 min from start to finish. There is another version of the game called "40K in 40 Minutes" that I can't seem to locate in my records, but the rules are pretty similar. The basics to the game are everyone starts with the same limitations.
Army starts at 500 points
You must have at least 1 troop choice
You may take up to 1 HQ
You can spend up to 50 points on wargear
No model can have more than 3 wounds
No 2+ saves
No vehicles with a total points value over 200
Now that everyone has the foundation to their army in mind, every player in the campaign starts with 3 territories that they control. These territories augment the basic limitations I stated a second ago. They range from increasing how many points you can spend in your army, increasing the cap on wounds per model, and you have a chance to get a "Spy" who will attempt to sabotage or poison your enemy. The first 3 Territories you get are generated from a chart with a roll of 2d6. This can lead to some mismatched armies as some may end up having an army worth 800 points while someone else may only have 500 points but can take a Land Raider.
Once you have your territories and you know all your army limitations, it's time to pick an opponent! Now that you have your opponent you generate a new Territory that you will be fighting over and each player wagers a territory. Then you play a game using the standard missions and deployment types in the Big Rule Book.
The winner of the game retains his wagered territory and gets to pick if he wants the new territory that was generated before the game or if he wants the territory that his opponent wagered. Whatever territory the winner does not choose goes to the loser.
Once the campaign goes for a while some people may end up having a lot more territories then another player. This is where the "Underdog" rule comes in. If your opponent has twice as many territories as you, you are declared the "Underdog". The Underdog has some advantages as they get to raid the other players territories. If you are an Underdog in a fight you get to choose the points limit to the game with a minimum of 500 points, but you are still limited to your own territory points cap. You also get to choose what territory you opponent has to wager in the fight. So if you opponent has 800 point army cap you can say that you will only be playing a 500 point game and his extra 300 points are now useless to him.

Chelsea v Manchester United - Premier League Preview
The former England manager resigned from his job in the wake of the Terry racism scandal in 2012 and now says he fought with everything he had to keep the defender in the team, but that the FA’s decision had already been made without consulting him.
“They [the FA] decided he could not play with the national team and I didn’t understand because he was not guilty,” said Capello.
“When it happened I said to the president [then FA chairman David Bernstein], ‘You decided he’s guilty? No, he’s not guilty’.
“I fought for this and they said, ‘No, you can’t decide about the player, you need to wait for the court decision and everything’. I said, ‘Why have you decided before I’ve asked you?’”
At the time of his axing by England, Terry had been charged for racially abusing QPR’s Anton Ferdinand, which he denies to this day. But the FA decided to strip Terry of the captaincy before the court had reached a verdict, something that still infuriates Capello.
Terry was eventually found not guilty in court but was found guilty by the FA after they held their own four-day hearing. He was fined £220,000, banned for four matches, stripped of the England captaincy and banished from the squad.
Fabio Capello has strongly defended John Terry
Asked if Terry should play for England again, Capello, speaking ahead of the Laureus World Sports Awards in Shanghai last night, said: “He is one of the best. They [England] haven’t got a lot of defenders but they sometimes have problems. It’s better to have a player like John Terry than not have him. But I don’t think he has the chances to play with the national team any more.”
Capello then went on to heap praise on himself about the various players now “thriving” under current England manager Roy Hodgson.
Capello said: “I saw some young players that played with me are improving. Chris Smalling is playing, Phil Jones. I’m happy because a lot of players I put in the national team are playing now and well. Ashley Young is also playing really well.”

What are insurance write-off categories? In this article we take a closer look at the N and S vehicle categories.
Insurance categories were introduced to reflect the complexity involved in repairing modern day vehicles. Back in October 2017, some of the insurance write-off classification categories were updated in the United Kingdom, with both N and S classifications replacing the previous C and D categories.
However, it is worth noting that vehicles originally classified as either Cat C or D will not be reassessed by professional motor trade engineers, so there will be a number of these vehicles still on our roads or available to purchase today.
So, apart from their category names, what changed, and how do the rules about buying a vehicle that has been written off apply?
Write-off Category S – Formerly CAT C
Vehicles in this category will have suffered structural damage to areas like the chassis, this can still be repaired by a qualified motor trade mechanic, and once roadworthy, it can be sold on and driven again.
Before being sold again privately, or by a motor trade dealer, it needs to pass an inspection and be re-registered with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). Depending on what parts were involved in the repair, the DVLA may need to issue a new vehicle registration number which will begin with the letter ‘Q’.
Write-off Category N – Formerly CAT D
Vehicles in this category will have suffered non-structural damage and can also be fully repaired back to a roadworthy condition before being driven on the roads again.
The term ‘non-structural’ is an overly broad term which could involve all sorts of parts, like the engine, electrics, bumper, interior components, or vehicle panelling.
However, once repaired, it will not need to pass an inspection by an approved motor trade engineer or be re-registered by the DVLA before a brand new private, or motor trade insurance policy is purchased.
If a vehicle is unfortunate enough to be involved in an insurance claim following an accident, it is the decision of the insurance broker or motor trade insurance company to assess if the vehicle is worth repairing financially.
The company will then assign a write-off category to determine how a vehicle should be viewed and treated going forward.

Insurance write-off categories
S. Structurally damaged repairable
N. Non-structurally damaged repairable
The DVLA must be informed if a vehicle has been declared a Cat S write-off, this will protect potential buyers against purchasing a vehicle that was previously a write-off without knowing.
The DVLA will then send out a new updated vehicle logbook (V5C) highlighting that the vehicle has been written off. Owners do not need to contact the DVLA themselves, the insurance company should handle this on your behalf, but ensure you get the new V5C though from the DVLA.
Insurance companies will also notify the DVLA if a vehicle is to be scrapped or sold on for spare parts.
If you are involved in any of these circumstances, then you will need confirmation from the DVLA to prove the vehicle is no longer your responsibility if that is the case.

148 FOURIER'S THEOREM. [VL § 73.
4, &c. He has further shown that each individual wave-form admits of being thus compounded in only one way, and has provided the means of calculating, in any given case, how many and which members of the series will appear, their relative amplitudes and their differences of phase.
When translated from the language of Mechanics into that of Acoustics, the theorem of Fourier asserts, that every regular musical sound is resolvable into a definite number of simple tones whose relative pitch follows the law of the partial-tone series. It thus supplies a theoretical basis for the analysis and synthesis of composite sounds which have been experimentally effected in chapters iv. and v.
When we are listening to a sustained clang, the air at any one point within the orifice of the ear can have only one definite mode of particle-vibration at any one moment. How does the ear behave towards any such given vibration ? It proceeds as follows. If the vibration is simple, it leaves it alone. If composite, it analyses it into a series of simple vibrations whose rates are once, twice, three times &c. that of the given vibration, in accordance with Fourier's theorem. In the former event the ear perceives only a simple tone. In the latter, it is able to recognise, by suitably directed and assisted efforts, partial-tones corresponding to the rate of each constituent into

RT: Putin predicts ‘revolutionary’ changes Archived Message
Posted by Tomski on July 20, 2022, 8:04 pm, in reply to "The Duran: Gazprom force majeure. Russia turns up pain dial on EU"
Only “truly sovereign” states will succeed after “enormous” geopolitical transformations, the Russian leader claimed |
A new epoch of world history is approaching and only “truly sovereign” states will be able to succeed in the changed environment, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday.
Speaking at a business forum, Putin claimed that “truly revolutionary,” “enormous” changes would lead to the creation of a new, “harmonious, fairer and more community-focused and safe” world order. In this new epoch, “only truly sovereign states can ensure high growth dynamics,” he said.
By the term ‘sovereignty’ the Russian president means “freedom of national development, and thus of each person individually,” as well as “technological, cultural, intellectual, educational viability of the state” and a “responsible, active and nationally minded, nationally oriented civil society.”
Such a state, the president said, will serve as an example for others when it comes to “the standards and quality of people’s life, the protection of traditional values and high humanistic ideals.”
This kind of world is in sharp contrast to the Western-dominated unipolar world order, which, in Putin’s opinion, is “becoming a brake on the development of our civilization.”
He accused the West of being “racist and neo-colonial,” saying that its ideology “is becoming increasingly more like totalitarianism.”
The president argued that despite attempts by Western elites to preserve the existing world order, the changes are “irreversible.”

Chemogenomics aims toward the systematic identification of small molecules that interact with the products of the genome and modulate their biological function. The establishment, analysis, prediction, and expansion of a comprehensive ligand–target SAR (structure–activity relationship) matrix has followed the elucidation of the human genome and presents a key scientific challenge for the twenty-first century. The anno- tion and knowledge-based exploration of the ligand–target SAR matrix is then expected to impact science greatly. Progress alongside this challenge without a doubt will c- tribute to further the fundamental understanding of the biological function of the individual proteins and ultimately provide a basis for the discovery of new and better therapies for diseases. While historically the chemogenomics approach is based on efforts that systematically explore target gene families, today broader in vitro and in silico approaches are available to encompass wider genomes. In this book, experts from academia and industry outline relevant aspects of ch- istry, biology, and molecular informatics which are the cornerstones of chemogenomics. General introductory chapters are combined with chapters describing methods and pro- cols, which are the gold standard of the Methods in Molecular Biology book series.

The entire Telugu film industry is shocked to know about the prostitution racket in Chicago which involves the Telugu actresses. In the wake of the same, the USA officials have become cautious and started investigating every actress who is visiting the USA. The latest news is that Mehreen Kaur underwent an investigation when she visited the USA.
The actress came under the scrutiny of US officials while she was traveling to Canada after wrapping up the shoot for her movie Pantham in the USA. She was questioned for more than 30 minutes and the officials asked her to produce the reasons for her travel to their country. The actress who was not aware of the prostitution racket was embarrassed to face such an incident.
Later, the officials have apologized her and allowed her for continuing her travel.

The Polish government’s decision to support semiconductor investments is another significant step towards building up cybersecurity and economic independence in our country. Along with this decision, potential investors received a signal from Poland on readiness to support investments as part of measures dedicated to strengthening the European semiconductor ecosystem. At the same time, it is also a signal for the Polish microelectronics ecosystem to develop modern technologies and to educate staff for the reviving semiconductor industry.
“The Łukasiewicz Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics (IMiF), as one of the stakeholders in the system of higher education and science, declares its readiness to support all activities leading to the reconstruction of the Polish semiconductor industry” – comments Piotr J. Cywiński, Leader of the International Cooperation at Łukasiewicz – IMIF.
In a sense, the Polish microelectronics industry will be reborn based on modern technologies, and the amount of USD 1.5 billion is a significant financial injection to begin this process. The emerging Polish semiconductor industry will require further stages of additional investments, especially in the development of well-educated labor and in efforts to maintain the quality and quantity of components to meet the needs of the local market.

As podcast ideas go, it was a cracker. Make a six-part show about Black Mirror and release the entire series for fans to binge on as an accompaniment to the show’s fourth season on Netflix. That was the genesis of Black Mirror Cracked, the brainchild of Trinity Mirror’s editorial trainer Suchandrika Chakrabarti. She also championed the idea of “mojo” thinking, which leverages relatively inexpensive and accessible tools to create compelling content.
“Podcasts have had a huge resurgence, as we all know, and the editors were looking for ideas for new ones, as this format attracts sponsorship and all media companies are looking for new sources of revenue,” she says.
“Having written about Black Mirror in 2016 when the first Netflix series came out, and had good numbers and SEO value from that, I thought a podcast would give us an extra edge, particularly in the US where the show has such a good audience and where podcasts are so popular,” she says.
To promote the podcast on Trinity’s text channels, Chakrabarti arranged an interview with Black Mirror’s creators, Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones. The interview was recorded on an iPhone, with a simple clip-microphone that can be bought online for $11, with a view to writing it up later.
But when Chakrabarti and her producer Daniel Jackson listened back to the recording, they felt it was good enough for a standalone seventh episode, as well as to provide content for the other six. “We decided to put a clip from it at the top of each of our podcasts, because it’s great to have Charlie Brooker’s voice as the first thing you hear,” she says.
Smart Phone Thinking
Using a smartphone was a radical move at Trinity, where most podcasts are recorded in a sound-booth with a professional microphone – but less radical for Chakrabarti and Jackson, who have helped pioneer ‘mojo’ at Trinity for capturing video and doing Facebook Lives in the field. The audio wasn’t perfect, but the pair crossed their fingers that the audience would forgive a slightly rawer sound in return for hearing from Brooker and Jones.
It paid off. Black Mirror Cracked went live on 29 December, the same day as the Netflix series, and went straight to Number 2 in iTunes. In all, it spent four months in “Bingeworthy.”
“The numbers were insane – 20,000 listens in the first week – far beyond what we were expecting,” Chakrabarti says. “They were listening very far into each podcast, too, not getting bored or switching off, so we were definitely doing something right.”
Chakrabarti says American audiences were more tolerant of the podcast’s raw sound than British listeners. She attributes this to the high audio standards set by the BBC, which consistently reaches over half the UK population each week.
“It’s totally understandable that anything less will attract critics. I’d say that we also suffered from putting all seven episodes out at once, because we improved our technique and sound as we went along with the production, but the audience got to hear them all at once,” she says.
“And no one pointed out the Charlie Brooker episode as having worse audio than any of the others, so it definitely wasn’t the smartphone. It was the learning we needed to do along the way.”
A Smart Investment
Black Mirror Cracked added additional episodes, for a total of 22, and completed its run last week. The other equipment used to make it consisted of a podcast microphone from the Blue Yeti range ($130-$270), and a Mac software program called Audio Hijack for recording Skype interviews ($59). Audio editing was done on the free, open-source editor Audacity.
“So our costs, minus our time, were just a shade over 200 dollars, US,” Chakrabarti says.
Other Trinity Mirror departments are now considering swapping the sound-booth for smartphone recordings in the field, particularly when a sense of ‘being present’ is part of the story, like sports matches. Chakrabarti says she wants to see more text reporters give ‘mojo’ – mobile journalism – a try.
As she points out, text journalists are recording interviews all the time and much of what they capture goes to waste. She recommends going into those situations at least thinking the audio might be good enough to publish on its own. Besides, “the combination of my phone and clip mic are small enough to stay in my bag all the time, and of course the device takes great photos and video – so if the chance for a great story comes up, you’ll never miss it.”

Selling all or portions of property is nothing new for downtown churches. It’s been a practice for decades, necessitated by demographic shifts and urban sprawl, aging congregations or denominational decline.
But for some, it’s the money generated by being located on what has become, in some cities, prime downtown or suburban real estate. Locations once ideal for worship have become ground zero for hip restaurant and nightclub districts, commercial zones, hotels, condominiums and sports complexes.
“In urban areas of high population concentrations, when land is scarce, it’s very much an option,” said George Bullard, a church consultant and president of The Columbia Partnership. “Developers are looking at anything and everything.”
And the payoffs for facilities and ministries expansion can be huge.
That’s again in evidence in Nashville, Tenn., where two giant hotel companies have each bid $15 million to buy about a half-block of property from First Baptist Church, the Nashville Business Journal reported on Monday.
Last year, WKRN-TV in Nashville reported the church had an $11 million offer to make way for a new Marriott hotel. Senior Pastor Frank Lewis told the station the money would be used to expand existing programs and facilities.
Lewis told the station “the timing seems to be right with the ministries outgrowing their facilities.”
Subsequent offers, including the most recent $15 million offers, are for a 1.26-acre parcel located across the street from Nashville’s Music City Center and is seen as a pivotal downtown development in the city’s continuing downtown boom, the Nashville Business Journal reported in July.
Nashville isn’t alone in seeing congregations sell some or all of their property to make way for downtown economic development projects. The practice is also occurring, in some cases, in surburban areas where ministries formerly off the beaten path are overcome by urban sprawl.
Recent sales in California and Georgia highlight the trend.
In July, Golden Gate Theological Seminary, with its prominent view of San Francisco Bay, announced the $85 million sale of its campus to a billion-dollar foundation. Jeff Iorg, president of the Southern Baptist Convention school, said in a statement the proceeds would be used to relocate its main campus to Southern California while $50 million would go into its endowment.
He added the deal includes a two-year lease-back that gives students time to prepare for the move.
“We had to have a sale and relocation process that preserved our institutional commitment to current students,” Iorg said.
Another high-profile sale came when the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons purchased Friendship Baptist Church for $19.5 million in March. The historic church was subsequently torn down to make way for a new football stadium for the team.
Emmanuel McCall, a past moderator of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, has served as interim pastor for the church since 2013.
The Atlanta developments show that even with with big paydays, selling to commercial and entertainment interests doesn’t always come easy. Some members of both Friendship and nearby Mount Vernon Baptist Church opposed the sale of their historic buildings, the latter of which was purchased for $14.5 million.
“It has not been a smooth or direct journey” to the selling point, Lloyd Hawk, Friendship’s chairman of trustees at the time, told ABPnews/Herald in September.
Even so, examples of the practice can be found in most states — and the deals are often creative, Bullard said.
He cited examples of churches selling parcels for garages to be used for hotel and commercial parking. Another church had condominiums built all around it and in the deal had its own facade and landscaping transormed.
“They also got a couple of million in cash in addition to all of that,” Bullard said. “There are examples of this all over the place.”

WASHINGTON — The only Democrat representing Oklahoma in Congress, U.S. Rep. Kendra Horn (D-OK5), has yet to make a decision regarding the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
“I’m taking time to review the articles,” Horn said in a Wednesday interview. “They just came out [Tuesday] morning. We’re dealing with some very serious and important issues here, and I want to make sure that I take everything into account.”
Charles Finocchiaro, associate director of the Carl Albert Congressional Research and Studies Center at the University of Oklahoma, said Horn’s response is not surprising.
“Politically, the signal that it sends is ‘I’m sort of an impartial judge on this. I want to wait until we can see what the evidence shows,’” said Finocchiaro. “It doesn’t show a rush to judgment, and it gives her plenty of options until you see exactly what the final language looks like on those articles of impeachment.”
Horn sits in a district that voted for President Donald Trump by 13.4 points back in 2016. She and 28 other Democrats have yet to comment on impeachment; however, Horn may be in a trickier spot than others because she holds what might be the most competitive seat in the U.S., where she won in 2018 with just 50.7 percent of the vote.
Finocchiaro said Trump’s 2016 win is a good indicator of Horn’s potential weaknesses.
“She (…) is probably the most vulnerable Democratic incumbent going into the 2020 election, just because of the nature of her district,” Finocchiaro said.
Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) said he thinks if the House’s articles of impeachment even passes it will do so narrowly because other Democrats face a similar position to Horn’s. Of the House freshman class, 22 Democrats sit in districts that voted for Trump in 2016.
“The Democrats are depending on all the Democrats voting to impeach the president,” said Inhofe. “I’m not sure they all will. In fact, I think that’s a big surprise right now.”
This isn’t the first time the Horn has waited on a decision. When the House voted to continue the impeachment inquiry, Horn didn’t announce her decision in support of open hearings until the day before the vote.
At the time, Horn said, “I am an Oklahoman, I’m American, and my party doesn’t dictate what I do, and it never will.”
Now, Horn is saying she needs to focus on other issues.
“I take everything into account,” Horn said. “I’m very thoughtful. This is about the work that we’re doing to fight for Oklahomans. In the meantime, we’re about to vote on reducing the cost of prescription drugs with H.R. 3, we’re going to pass the defense authorization bill, USMCA, and I’m staying focused on that, so I’ve got to take a little more time to consider everything.”
Late Wednesday, the House passed the defense authorization bill, called the National Defense Authorization Act, in a compromise negotiated in part by Horn and Inhofe with an “overwhelmingly bipartisan 377-48 vote.” The bill gives a 3.1 percent pay raise to service members and includes a tenant bill of rights to protect families who live on military bases from inadequate housing issues. Horn was the first representative to bring that national problem to Congress.
H.R. 3 also passed late Thursday.
Inhofe said Democrats will either pass the vote to impeach the President, or the vote will be very close because of the representatives in strong Trump districts.
“Look, these guys will be up for reelection in the House of Representatives at the same time Trump would be up for reelection,” Inhofe. “I just can’t imagine anyone voting to impeach a president that’s very popular in their districts.”
One such Democrat, Congressman Jeff Van Drew (D-NJ), told USA Today on Wednesday that he will vote against all articles of impeachment. Trump won Van Drew’s district by a 4.6 point margin, according to FiveThirtyEight.
“She’s in an even more vulnerable position than Van Drew is,” Finocchiaro said of Horn. “That’s a sign that there will be at least a handful of Democratic votes against one or both of the articles of impeachment.”
Horn and other Democrats in similar positions may support the party and their constituents by voting “yes,” on one of the articles of impeachment and “no,” on the other, according to Finocchiaro.
From the beginning of the impeachment inquiry, the Republican members of the Oklahoma delegation have spoken against impeachment. Congressmen Kevin Hern (R-OK1) and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK2) attempted forced entry into closed-door impeachment hearings, before the continuation vote.
Congressman Tom Cole (R-OK4) said the president was not getting fair treatment from the House.
“I have not seen any evidence that would suggest the President’s done anything remotely impeachable,” he said.
Congressman Frank Lucas (R-OK3) said that continuing the impeachment process “belittles” the purpose of Representatives.
Although Inhofe said Democrats don’t want the stigma of voting to impeach while running for reelection, he expects Horn to vote for impeaching the President.
“Certainly, Horn’s already voted on supporting the process of impeachment,” Inhofe said. “It’d be very difficult for her not to be willing to vote to impeach the president after she’s already cast one vote.”
Finocchiaro isn’t so sure.
“I’m sure at least a few more Democrats defect,” said Finocchiaro. “Horn is probably one of the most likely candidates there.”


Jacqui Lambie willing to take DNA test to prove Indigenous heritage
Outspoken Palmer United Party senator Jacqui Lambie says she is willing to take a DNA test to prove her Indigenous heritage.
In her maiden speech to Federal Parliament, the Tasmanian claimed a family connection with a prominent Aboriginal leader from the state's north-east.
"We trace our history over six generations to celebrated Aboriginal chieftain of the Tasmania east coast, Mannalargenna," she told Parliament.
The claim drew scepticism from some in the Aboriginal community, with Tasmanian Aboriginal Land Council (TALC) chairman Clyde Mansell calling it "absolutely outrageous and scandalous".
However, Senator Lambie will not be deterred.
"I know what's in my blood," she told reporters in Hobart.
"If Mansell wants to take me on, I guess I'll meet him up at the hospital and both have a DNA test and see how we go once and for all."
Mr Mansell dismissed the challenge, saying DNA tests are not conclusive in proving Indigenous heritage.
"The matter of fact with Jacqui Lambie is her claim to be of Mannalargenna is not factual," he said.
Last week Senator Lambie said she was subjected to online threats of violence following her claim.
She intends to use the next sitting of Parliament to detail some of the threatening posts.
Lambie wants Indigenous quota in Parliament
Senator Lambie also said there should be up to five Indigenous MPs in the Lower House and four in the Senate, to reflect the percentage of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders in the community.
She believes a new representative body proposed by Indigenous leader Noel Pearson would be prone to corruption and a waste of taxpayers' money.
"I just want to see Indigenous quotas," she said.
"They were the first people on the land in Australia and I think that out of respect to them, we should give them a quota.
"I've been consulting off and on it for years obviously with my Indigenous background so when you're around the Indigenous people you consult with them and you ask them what their concerns are.
"And to me they're saying we need voices in Parliament."
'Anyone supporting sharia law should leave Australia'
Meanwhile, Senator Lambie said anyone who supports imposing sharia law in Australia should be banned from receiving Government handouts and lose their right to vote.
Senator Lambie made the comments while discussing Australia's role in an international mission to combat Islamist extremists in Iraq.
She said Sharia, or Islamic law, is an underlying problem in Australia that needs to be addressed.
"I just say anyone who supports sharia law in Australia should not have the right to vote, should not get government handouts and should probably pack up their bags and get out of here - that's what I'm saying," she said.


Workers and trade unions around the world have been marking Labor Day. Most of the demonstrations have focused on issues such as workers’ rights and the impact of trade deals.
Candidates Macron and Le Pen held political rallies in the French capital to woo undecided voters. But on this Labor Day celebration, many French workers are divided over whom, if anyone, to vote for.
Every year tens of thousands of left-wing demonstrators hit the streets of Berlin in often violent protests. This year is the 30th anniversary of the original protests and police are taking no chances.
Protests and rallies have been held to mark May Day, also known as International Workers Day. In Germany, trade unions condemned xenophobia at a traditional rally in the southwestern city of Stuttgart.
Thousands of people in the German cities of Berlin and Hamburg are participating in demonstrations marking Labor Day. The protests have so far been peaceful, with police reporting some minor incidents of violence.

Early menopause is a condition that cannot be taken lightly. The reason is, menopause that occurs prematurely can be caused by certain medical conditions. Treatment steps also need to be adjusted to the underlying cause
Menopause is a normal thing that happens in this phase of a woman's life. However, if menopause occurs early, you should need to be vigilant. A woman can be said to experience early menopause if the menstrual cycle has stopped before the age of 40 years.
The symptoms experienced are almost the same as menopause in general, namely:
- Irregular menstruation
- Menstrual blood that comes out more or less than usual
- dry vagina
- Difficulty controlling urination
- Disorders of the urinary tract
- Skin, lips and eyes feel dry
In some women, menopause also causes emotional disturbances. It is characterized by a sudden bad mood, often feeling restless, mild depression, difficulty sleeping, and reduced sexual arousal.
However, this does not mean that these symptoms always indicate an early menopause. Therefore, you should consult a doctor if you experience some of the symptoms above to confirm the condition you are experiencing.
Various Causes and Risk Factors of Early Menopause
The following are some of the causes and factors that increase a woman experiencing early menopause:
1. premature ovarian failure
In this condition, the ovaries no longer function normally when a woman has not yet reached the age of 40. Women with premature ovarian failure generally still have periods, but find it difficult to get pregnant.
2. Genetic factors
A study revealed that a woman's age at menopause is related to heredity or genetic factors. This is because a woman's menopause is generally not much different from her mother's.
If the mother experienced early menopause, then her daughter has a higher risk of experiencing the same thing.
3. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy
Treatment of cancer or other diseases using chemotherapy procedures or radiation therapy around the pelvic area is known to have several risks, including premature menopause.
This is because the radiation waves used in this therapy can disrupt the ovaries, so they cannot function normally.
4. Drugs and other diseases
Early menopause can also be caused by chronic diseases, tumors in the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, psychological disorders, and the use of drugs.
Not only that, several other diseases such as HIV/AIDS, rheumatoid arthritis, Turner syndrome, and chronic fatigue syndrome can also cause premature menopause.
5. Smoking habit
Smoking is one of the habits that can affect the occurrence of early menopause. Several studies have shown that women who smoke may experience menopause earlier than women who do not smoke.
6. Too low weight
The hormone estrogen is stored in fat tissue in the body. Women who are too thin have less body fat. As a result, the hormone estrogen is stored too little. This can affect the function of the ovaries and the reproductive system.
In addition, it should be noted that some surgical procedures and surgeries performed to remove the ovaries can also cause premature menopause in women.
How to Overcome Symptoms of Early Menopause
Until now, premature menopause cannot be treated or prevented with certain medications or treatments. However, there are several ways to deal with the symptoms that may arise.
The following are some medical treatments to relieve early menopause symptoms:
Hormone therapy or estrogen therapy is the most effective way to control early menopause symptoms, such as hot flushes or a burning and dry feeling in the vagina. This therapy is available in various forms, such as birth control pills, transdermal sprays, gels and creams, as well as preparations for intravaginal use.
Always obey the doctor's advice when undergoing this therapy, because this therapy also has side effects, such as increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and breast cancer.
Several types of antidepressant drugs, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), can be used to relieve symptoms of premature menopause, such as hot flushes. This medicine can only be obtained and used according to the doctor's prescription and instructions.
Nonhormonal vaginal gels, creams and lubricants
When entering menopause, the vagina will feel dry. To fix this, you can use a lubricant in the form of a gel or cream. This lubricant can prevent the vagina from feeling dry and reduce the risk of irritation to the vagina.
Assisted reproduction technology
Women with early menopause will face infertility problems or have difficulty having children. However, pregnancy can still be attempted through other means, namely by donating eggs.
In addition, early menopause can also increase the risk of osteoporosis, because low estrogen levels can reduce bone density.However, this can be prevented by consuming foods and drinks rich in vitamin D, calcium and vitamin D supplements, and exercising regularly.
You need to be more careful in recognizing the various symptoms of early menopause. Immediately consult a doctor if these symptoms appear, so that an examination and appropriate treatment can be carried out according to the cause.

The Better Buildings Initiative—a White House plan designed to increase energy efficiency in commercial and multi-family buildings—would create 144,000 jobs an analysis released Monday by The Real Estate Roundtable, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the National Resources Defense Council concluded.
“This Obama Initiative works for our economy in two important ways: it helps create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs while making us more energy efficient,” said The Roundtable’s CEO and President, Jeffrey D. DeBoer. “Unemployment in the construction sector continues to hover above 16 percent. Lending is still difficult to come by in many markets, so financial incentives like these proposed by the White House will leverage private investment to help propel our cities and suburbs forward into a new energy economy.”
A tax-deduction designed to encourage energy efficiency upgrades proposed in the initiative is expected to create 77,000 jobs alone.
The energy upgrades will have significant trickle-down effects on the rest of the economy and promote business growth and investment in all sectors. In addition to encouraging investment in clean and energy efficient technology, the plan will save businesses over $1.4 billion in energy costs.

Cold weather hurting maple production
Attica, N.Y. -- The freezing cold weather this winter is taking a toll on maple syrup providers in Western New York.
Several maple producers, including Merle Maple Farm in Attica, said theyre facing delays in production because of unusually cold temperatures.
Producers said they need temperatures of at least 35 degrees Fahrenheit, or preferably higher than 40, to draw sap from maple trees and turn it into syrup.
Despite the problems, Maple Weekend events will take place across the state in March as scheduled.

On September 8th, 2021, a Texas law firm dropped a class-action lawsuit against Allstate and three of their medical expert witnesses. In fact, 95% of cases are settled and never make it to trial. The case was originally filed in January of 2021 and it has not been mentioned if a settlement was reached.
The Estes Law Firm, based in Richmond, Texas, filed a class-action lawsuit representing 10,000 lawyers and law firms. The Texas law firm claimed that Allstate was using witnesses that would increase the litigation costs and delay the process for four years.
Estes Law Firm claimed that the expert witnesses were unqualified for the case and lacked the education, skill, and experience that was needed.
In February of 2021, Allstate moved to dismiss the case by arguing the insurance agency did not misrepresent the qualifications of the expert witnesses. The three witnesses in question were Marc Chapman, Rhonda Guitreau, and Jana Scheinber.
The law firm stated that Chapman only had experience as a reimbursement manager. But, according to his LinkedIn, he has over 25 years of experience with medical billing and a consulting firm. Estes Law Firm claimed Chapman has no experience outside of medical billing and even found 13 cases where he was found to be unqualified.
Rhona Guitreau was a former hospital administrator and stated she was a medical billing witness. Estes Law Firm claimed she had no experience outside of hospital billing, didn’t have experience outside of Dallas, and also replied on an online database. The law firm found 10 cases where her affidavits were stricken and argued.
Lastly, Jana Schieber was a nurse in the 1990s. She was used to provide opinions around a range of different medical professions including surgeons, chiropractors, radiologists, and more. Just as Guitreau, it was claimed she too used an online database for her opinions. Estes Law Firm found 10 cases where her affidavits were stricken.
This is one of the rare cases where a medical expert witness is sued for their work. Oftentimes, expert witnesses come under scrutiny where their experience and knowledge are questioned.

Call this the most badass cover you’ll hear today! Last Friday Miss Blasko covered “Hey Ya!” for Triple J’s Like a Version and I love this like a Browncoat loves watching Firefly! My gawd, when an artist takes a song and just owns it (and really just creates a whole new tempo for it)…it just blows my mind!
TWO Sarah Blasko posts in a month? What the hell Sam?
This is awesome though. Not even a question.
