For all our real-time fascination with the Presidency, audiences usually show very little interest in cinematic portrayals of the Commander in Chief. Perhaps because we have either lived through the period and don’t want to watch it all play out again onscreen, or maybe the era is so far removed that we just don’t care. Whatever the reason(s), these film and TV portraits provide meaty roles for actors and dramatic stories composers can sink their musical chops into. And by ignoring these films, audiences miss out on some presidential film scores.
For this month’s “9 on the 9th,” we visit the Oval Office—real and fictional. With Decision 2012 thankfully behind us, our Facebook feeds once again populated with pictures of paella and puppies, and in anticipation of seeing how John Williams’s LINCOLN score works in context of the film (more on that next week), let’s take a look a nine presidential film scores that are worthy of election in any year.
9. DAVE (1993)
More than once over the course of my lifetime, it seems like the Oval Office has been inhabited by an impostor. If only they could have been as charismatic as Kevin Kline. This charming romantic comedy features one of James Newton Howard’s most delightful scores. Howard gives the music a light touch that keeps the patriotism in check and the spirits buoyant.
8. AIR FORCE ONE (1997)
With the President (Harrison Ford) in distress, only the rah-rah patriotism of Jerry Goldsmith can save him. With a muscular, memorable main theme and typically exciting action sequences, the score is pure Goldsmith. Given that Goldsmith was a replacement for Randy Newman, whose music was deemed too dark for the film, it’s perhaps not surprising that the music bears the hallmarks of earlier Goldsmith scores. But that shouldn’t detract from the typically high level of craftsmanship on display.
7. YOUNG MR. LINCOLN (1939)
Though President Lincoln will be forever immortalized in the cinematic stoicism of Raymond Massey, the homespun, pre-Presidential visage will always be personified by Henry Fonda’s transparent portrayal. John Ford’s quiet look at Lincoln’s early days as a frontier lawyer gets an equally subdued Alfred Newman score. The memorable themes stack up like piles of chopped wood and Newman brings his typical unsentimental outlook to bear on this simple portrayal of the man before the myth.
6. NIXON (1995)
Oliver Stone’s flashy direction nearly swamps Anthony Hopkins and Joan Allen’s superb performances in this Shakespearean tale of power and corruption. Underneath the unnecessary cinematography and editing tricks lie John Williams’s dark, brooding score. This is music that practically reeks of obsession and power. A perfect companion piece to Williams’s work on JFK and the musical denouement of ambition gone unchecked.
5. THE IDES OF MARCH (2011)
George Clooney’s taut thriller of a presidential primary shows the road to the White House paved with lies and deceit. (Sound familiar?) Alexandre Desplat’s music provides the sleazy undercurrent churning beneath the toothy grins and handshakes. The trumpet fanfares are empty and hollow, while the main theme turns fife and drum patriotism on its syncopated ear.
4. SUNRISE AT CAMPOBELLO (1962)
Greer Garson’s buck-toothed Eleanor may be a bit much for today’s audiences but Ralph Bellamy simply is FDR in this adaptation of Dore Schary’s Tony Award-winning drama. The moving story of Roosevelt’s bout with polio at age 40 still retains its punch thanks to its two central performances and Franz Waxman’s music. With its powerful main theme, the score conveys Roosevelt’s bravery and the idyllic New England life at the Campobello summer home. The brief suite that was recorded years ago gives a brief summation of the power of Waxman’s music.
Writer Aaron Sorkin (THE WEST WING) certainly knows his way around American politics. As Michael Douglas’s widowed President falls in love with Annette Bening’s lobbyist, Sorkin presents a political arena that has much to say about society’s ridiculous obsession with our elected officials’ private lives, while director Rob Reiner keeps it light and breezy, wrapping things up in a rah-rah Hollywood ending that we wish could happen in real life. Marc Shaiman’s marvelous score combines romance and an unsentimental aura of belief in our political system. With a memorable main theme and a thrilling French horn countermelody, Shaiman scores a political world we can only dream of.
2. ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN (1976)
Richard Nixon only appears in archival news footage but his scowling visage hovers over every frame of this stunning political thriller. David Shire’s short, subtle score is judiciously spotted and tightly orchestrated. French horns call out in muted, failed patriotism while the piano and harp create a gurgling undercurrent of dissent. Shire gives musical voice to the pervasive aura of suspicion and our imploding political culture.
1. JFK (1991)
Whether or not you agree with Oliver Stone’s conspiracy theory, JFK is a masterful piece of filmmaking. And though the album isn’t perhaps the most cohesive listen from a score standpoint, John Williams musically captures Stone’s many dramatic moods. From the horrific events surrounding the motorcade to the pulsations underscoring Jim Garrison’s (Kevin Costner) obsession, Williams weaves together a musical tapestry of suspicion at the demise of Camelot, overlaid with a memorable main theme of lost innocence.
What are some of your favorite Presidential scores?

Summary: We don’t often have guest reviewers at Destructoid, because we need to offer the utmost credibility when analyzing a game in a critical light. However, there is no one more credible than my Uncle Nachos when it comes to the Gradius series.
Excerpt: I was admittedly a bit embarrassed when during my (ridiculous) E3 demo of Konami's Otomedius Excellent, I made the assumption that the game was a digital download. The rep was quick to assert that the game would see a full retail release, thankfully willing to ignore what my statement really...
Summary: : Otomedius Excellent is a game full of big ideas and noticeable flaws, and while the big ideas will be enough to sell the experience for genre enthusiasts, the flaws will, in turn, turn away more than a few of them, leaving this a game for only the most enthusiastic of enthusiasts.
Excerpt: Otomedius Excellent commits the crime of being a decent new shooter in an era where “decent” is no longer enough. Like Parodius before it, Konami’s ode to a once-thriving genre is inspired by the company’s own series of horizontally-scrolling shooters, Gradius .
Excerpt: I don't mean that in a racist, judgemental way, but Otomedius Excellent further proves that the tastes of Western and Eastern gamers are very, very different. Otomedius Excellent is a sequel to the Japanese arcade game Otomedius, which was in turn a side-scrolling shoot 'em up inspired by the...
Excerpt: Have you ever played any of the Gradius games for the regular NES or SNES? If so there may be something for you to like here, but for everyone else you will be sorely disappointed by what this game has to offer.Otomedius Excellent is a 2D side scrolling shooter that is “Inspired by the legendary...
Pros: There truly isn’t a whole lot I can say positive about this game, I do applaud the fact that they were inspired by Gradius. There is a 2min opening theme for the game and it even allows you to follow along with the words (takes me back to the Pokemon days). At the character select screen you are ...
Excerpt: A far cry from Parodius, Konami's latest Gradius spin-off isn't one fans should flock to. I was originally introduced to Otomedius, the Japan-exclusive, arcade-only sexy Gradius spin-off that Konami launched in late 2007, during a summer I spent in Tokyo the following year.
Pros: PROS: Gradius returns (though as a moe shooter); Score attack and multiplayer modes help flesh out the experience; decent design; it's only $30.
Cons: CONS: Lacks personality (where are the Moai heads?); dated graphics don't capitalize on either Gradius' aesthetic or characters' sex appeal; unlimited continues and retreating, repetitive bosses take the challenge out of gameplay; probably not worth the cost of a disc release for most.
Otomedius Excellent Review: Excellent Doesn’t Belong In This Game’s Title
9 November 2011
Conclusion: Concept: Take Gradius, add overt sexuality, and take away the majority of the fun
Graphics: This game would have looked amazing in 1999
Sound: The music is a random assortment of techno that sometimes feels weird and out of place
Playability: The pitiful starting weapons and slow ships make this a...
Excerpt: Who’ll defend the planet when squadrons of gleaming saucers and stomping mechs invade? A manic clique of scantily clad anime maidens, of course. Duh. Who did you think it’d be? Otomedius Excellent ’s brand of sidescrolling shoot-’em-up action draws heavily from Konami’s aged Gradius playbook.
Pros: + Cutie-pies obliterate everything with unusual weapons; 30 bucks.

When most people hear about Beabull puppies, they are not actually certain what to assume. This type of canine is always ready on the door with a wagging tail at any time when members of the family come home or people cease by for a go to. Take a look at our beagle puppies and dogs at our kennel. The Beagle has a smooth, simple-care, brief coat, which can are available in any hound coloration, for instance, tri-color, black and tan, red and white, orange and white, or lemon and white.
These Beagle puppy photographs are absolutely lovable and they show both the feisty and cuddly sides of this cheerful little dog. The identify “Beagle” may have come from the French term “be’geule” which implies gape throat,” referring to the dogs baying voice.
The traditional foot pack consists of up to forty beagles, marshaled by a Huntsman who directs the pack and who is assisted by a variable variety of whippers-in whose job is to return straying hounds to the pack. Because of this lengthy custom of scent-tracking and searching, your Beagle pet will likely be incredibly curious along with his surroundings.
Due to their pack canine heritage, Beagles take pleasure in company and don’t like to be left alone. The following set of Beagle puppy pictures showcase this breeds ‘outdoorsy’ nature and ‘joie de vivre’. 4. One of the vital essential elements of Beagle ownership, especially rescued Beagles, is that the Beagle shouldn’t be allowed to be off leash and be expected to not run off.
He is pleasant and loves to hang out at doggie day care with all of his friends. Always buy your Beagles from reputable breeders and ask about household well being issues. Beagles are very adaptable canine and match into their pack well. SEE what my Puppy Parents should say on outr above testamonial tab or be a part of us on facebook, beagles-caninekids, we now have video of our beagle puppies.

There's conflicting reports surfacing about the status of every cornerbacks best friend, Jake Delhomme. In one corner, we have NFL.com:
Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini told reporters Friday that he needs one more day to examine quarterback Jake Delhomme's ankle and mobility before selecting a starter for this weekend's home game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Delhomme is listed as questionable on the Browns' official injury report.
"(Jake) had a little bit more work yesterday and little more work today," Mangini said. "It's better than last week, but we've got to go through the whole set of days before we make a decision.
And in the other corner, ESPN:
The Cleveland Browns' offense could get a boost for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Starting quarterback Jake Delhomme participated in practice all week and is as healthy as he's been since injuring his ankle in the season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Delhomme is confident he'll play.
So what to believe? In fairness, Mangini is notorious at spreading misleading information so this is a difficult one to unravel. If he doesn't go, Seneca Wallace gets the start and the Falcons are 0-1 this year against mobile quarterbacks, losing to Dennis Dixon and the Steelers in Week 1.
One thing both reports agree on is despite missing Friday's practice, Peyton Hillis will be in uniform on Sunday. His past success against the Falcons is not a secret.

A/N: Hi, people! So I came up with this prompt and put it on Tumblr but no one wrote it, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and here it is! This is my first fic ever! Constructive criticism is welcome and encouraged! And please keep in mind tha English is not my first language.
Pure Jeller Fluff! Enjoy!
It was a warm Friday evening and the team had just wrapped another case of corruption related one of the tattoos on Jane's body. Kurt and Jane followed by Reade and Zapata left the FBI building to head to a coffee shop nearby.
Jane had told them everything that happened with Oscar that night, just two weeks ago. The team had been incredibly understanding. They knew whoever Jane was when she took the decision to do that to herself is not who she is now. Oscar had gotten away as soon as he finished playing the video saying she was not supposed to have seen him and that he could not risk being caught by the FBI. Mayfair had scolded Jane for letting him get away, but Jane had been too shaken up to do anything. One angry look from Weller and she stopped her questioning.
Given the recent occurrences, neither Jane nor Kurt had brought up the kiss they shared that night. The first day back had been awkward but they seemed to have reached a silent agreement to just let it go and go back to how they were before all that: with the long looks and unnecessary touches.
Jane didn't want that, though.
The moment she kissed him was the happiest she ever felt that she could remember. That one short time she felt his unbelievably soft lips moving against hers and his hand on her neck was enough to make her addicted to his touch.
As they entered the crowded coffee shop, Reade and Zapata spotted a miraculously free table and sat on it while Kurt and Jane stayed in line to place everyone's orders. That's when Jane started noticing all the eyes on her.
There seemed to be a large group of older people in the coffee shop. They were definitely not from New York. They all had cameras and shopping bags and some of them were spotting those stylish "I 3 NY" t-shirts. Maybe in an excursion through Manhattan?
The elderly people clearly didn't know how to be discreet when they started looking, pointing and commenting on Jane's tattooed body.
So far, in New York, she never felt out of place, there was all kinds of people here. A tattooed woman wasn't that big of a deal. However, it was clearly a big deal to these people and certainly not common wherever they come from.
Feeling like a circus clown, Jane looked around nervously looking for a way out. She cursed herself for not wearing a jacket like she always does when she is outside of her safe house or the office.
She even heard one elderly woman say "Oh, such a beautiful young woman. Why would she do this to herself?"
She was sure Kurt also heard that and at that moment, he threw his jacket over Jane's shoulders and escorted out of the coffee shop. Jane was so stunned; she just let herself be guided by him completely missing the death glares Kurt was giving all of them
"Hey, Jane" he dropped his arms once they were outside but she kept walking. He grabbed a hold of her arm and spun her to face him "Jane! Hey, listen to me" he said again. When she refused to meet his eyes, he put his hand on her chin and brought her face up so he could look into her sad green eyes. "Those people in there, they don't know you. They don't know what you've been through. They have no right to judge you."
"They look at me like I'm a freak," she said, her voice breaking at the last word.
"Well, you are not one. Those people were alive at a time where only a certain type of person had tattoos. But things are not like that anymore. Everyone has tattoos these days. Your choice or not, your tattoos are beautiful."
Jane didn't seem very convinced.
"Jane…" Those big heart-broken green eyes were killing him so he just softly pulled her to him by his jacket that she was still wearing and wrapped his arms around her waist and upper back.
Jane offered no resistance. She wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face into the side of his neck slowly inhaling the calming scent of his cologne.
It felt so good to be in his arms. It's the place where she felt the happiest and the safest, ever since that first day when he brought her back to the safe house after the Statue of Liberty incident.
"That old lady was right about one thing though…" Kurt whispered softly in her ear.
He felt Jane stiffen in his arms before she pulled back to look at his face with a slightly hurt but questioning look.
He smiled at her "You are beautiful."
He saw the blood rush up to her cheeks and make them pink as she bit her lower lip and looked away from his intense gaze. It was probably the most endearing thing he ever saw and he immediately tangled his fingers in her short dark tresses and pulled her in for a kiss he's been waiting for two weeks now.
She responded to his kiss almost immediately, her arms wrapping around his neck and her tongue slipping out to meet his. She kissed him for what if felt like hours until Kurt finally pulled away.
"I've wanted to kiss you so many times this past two weeks." He said. Their foreheads still touching.
"Why didn't you?" Jane said, still trying to catch her breath.
"I didn't know if you regretted that night."
"I didn't, Kurt. That was the happiest I ever felt." She said touching his cheek with the tips of her fingers. "I wanted to kiss you, too. But I didn't know what to say."
"Me neither. Be better at communicating. Yes. I should've known better by now." He joked.
She smiled, picking up his jacket that had fallen from her shoulders while they kissed.
"Let's get you home." He said, grabbing her hand and looking back inside the coffee shop looking for Reade and Zapata. He saw Reade hand Zapata a hundred dollar bill while they both laughed and made kissing faces towards them. Weller did not want to know what they've been talking about this whole time. Tweedledee and Tweedledum could head home by themselves. He just wanted to be with Jane right now.
As they got to her safe house, Jane invited him in for a glass of wine, which he gladly accepted. As much as he loved his sister and nephew, there was no quiet time in his apartment. Part of her knew she shouldn't have invited him, but she didn't want to let him go just yet.
They sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes, sitting close to each other on the couch. His arm stretched across the back of the couch behind her and her head rested on his shoulder.
"You really think the tattoos are beautiful?" she asked suddenly, causing him to jump a little.
He gave her a crooked smile, set his wine glass down and grabbed her left hand.
"Yes. And I'm gonna show you how much I like them." He turned so he was facing her. "I like this one" he kissed the tattoo of what looked like a flower with an eye on her left forearm. "And this one." He ran his lips all the way up and kissed another tattoo on her shoulder.
"And this one." he kissed and sucked on the bird on her neck while burring his fingers in her hair to tilt her head for better access while the other wound around her waist. She never mentioned the fact that she remembers Oscar was the one to draw that bird. Now, she most certainly never will.
After that, he laid her on the couch they had been sitting, laid on top of her, touched his lips to hers and they kissed for long minutes. After their lips separated, she looked at him mischievously.
"What about this one?" she pointed to the tattoo on her chest right above her tank top. He reached down and kissed where she was pointing while his hands lifted her shirt and took it off her.
"And this one" he kissed the flaming rose tattoo on her belly that went from right above her belly button up to her bra line and continued while his hands ran all over her body.
"Are you gonna kiss them all?" she asked while running her fingers though his hair.
Later Jane laid on her stomach, sheets pooling around her waist as Kurt drew the contour of the tattoos on her bare back with his calloused fingers, from the letters of his name to the writings in red on her lower back.
As the soft caresses began lulling her to sleep, she turned over so she could put her face in the crook of Kurt's neck and he put his arms around her and pulled the covers around them.
"I love you, Kurt." She whispered.
"I love you, too."

Does Facebook’s declining relevance with teenagers really pose an existential threat to the company? After all, Facebook’s most loyal users are people over age 30 and today’s teens are tomorrow’s 30-somethings — if they do not start using Facebook while they’re young there is no guarantee they will later in life.
But Facebook today serves a different purpose than it did a decade ago, and would-be challengers like Snapchat and TikTok are not well-positioned to threaten the social media platform’s dominance with older users. To do that they’d probably have to change their products significantly to more closely resemble Facebook, perhaps turning off their core base of young people.
explain why older users find it essential: it is become a digital hub for news, politics and interest groups. I’m on my city’s Planning Commission and when we switched to virtual meetings during the onset of the pandemic, one of the ways we did that was by broadcasting our sessions live on Facebook. Local elected officials and city government departments post news and updates. My wife is a member of multiple local mom groups where she will buy and sell kids clothing and toys. It is a place where communities post notices of events and other social gatherings. It is generally just a big ball of stuff relevant to older people that would be hard for another company to unbundle.
Imagine TikTok trying to take some of this market share from Facebook — how would it work for a local government to post a message saying that they understand the frustration of residents about the lack of consistent trash collection but that they’re working to address the issue? Would local governments even consider TikTok the right platform for such a message? Being a whimsical platform for teens is that it makes you a less-appropriate platform for other kinds of users — it is the flipside of Facebook’s struggle to recruit teens because it has a reputation as the site preferred by older people.
In the company’s earnings call this week, founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged Facebook’s weakness with younger users and promised that executives would “make serving young adults their North Star rather than optimizing for the larger number of older people”. Those older users are so locked into the platform that the company probably can get away with giving them an experience that does not suit them quite as well as the current model. But it remains to be seen whether Facebook can overcome all the challenges it has with teens and 20-somethings.
Even if it retains its older users while struggling to attract younger ones, the company risks alienating some advertisers. Companies selling housing-related goods and services, insurance and healthcare products might continue to patronize Facebook, but those chasing teens and young people will continue gravitating towards platforms already proven to be popular with the younger crowd.
A possible analogy for what’s going on in social media might be the broadcast television world: Facebook dominated everything just like cable television, while multiplying new platforms carved out different demographic niches. Perhaps Snapchat and TikTok are MTV and Facebook is cable news. It might not be as fun to be cable news but it is arguably a more stable business to be in over the long run. There will always be old people and they will always be interested in news and politics. Whereas youth culture will forever be fickle, as the rise and fall of MTV has shown.
The question is whether someone can threaten Facebook’s status as the hub of civic and communal life online. Youth-centric platforms will struggle to win over older users without turning off younger ones, and could also struggle to gain the backing of institutional users such as local governments that already are tied to Facebook. A site such as Reddit, with a die-hard user base of people with niche interests, might have a tough time winning over “normie” users who want more of a generalized, lean-back social media experience.
Facebook may never be all things to all people again, and it is a reasonable bet to think it is forever lost trend-setting youth culture to other platforms, but what it retains is powerful and will not be as easy to dislodge. — Bloomberg Opinion

People have used the 911 service to make some weird emergency calls, but this may take the cake — or the corn.
A Massachusetts couple took their three-week-old child into a corn maze in Danvers. About an hour later they were hopelessly lost, darkness was beginning to fall, and the mosquitoes were starting to bite. So the couple took out their cell phone, called 911, and asked the police to “rescue” them. The police obliged, and the K-9 unit arrived and found the befuddled family before the call even ended.
In fairness to these people, the maze does look to be pretty elaborate, and apparently it takes people, on average, 45 minutes to work their way through the full maze. But taking a three-week-old child into a corn maze? Really? And calling 911 to have the police “rescue” you from a corn maze? Really? The woman in the couple said their predicament was “embarrassing,” but I’d say it was more than that. What if the police who were helping the couple had been needed for a real emergency — and been unable to make it because they were helping the freaked-out couple avoid a few mosquito bites?
Last night the United States Senate — in one of those weird maneuvers that make sense only to Senators — took a vote that killed President Obama’s “jobs” bill. A majority of Senators voted in favor of moving the bill forward, but there weren’t enough votes to overcome a threatened filibuster. Every Republican opposed it, as did two Democrats, and other Democrats stated that they would have voted against the bill on its merits even if it had cleared the procedural hurdles.
So, the President’s speeches, radio addresses, and instructions to “pass this bill right away” failed to drum up support for his bill. No shocker there! Any request for another half trillion dollars in “stimulus” spending and tax increases was never going to pass Congress with Republicans in charge of the House, although it may be surprising that the bill couldn’t even get the unanimous support of Senate Democrats. In any case, the President can now rail against a “do-nothing” Congress during next year’s campaign — which may have been part of his motivation for proposing the doomed measure in the first place.
The Republicans have claimed that President Obama’s proposal was just campaign politicking. So what? Does anyone really think the President is above partisan politics? The problem with the President’s proposal is not that it was “political,” but that it did not generate much public support and the moderate Democratic Senators realized that. The Republicans therefore demonstrated that there is no appetite in the country for hundreds of billions of dollars in more spending and more taxes to pay for it — which probably was their goal from the beginning.
So, each side likely has the political argument that they wanted out of this process. Bully for them! No doubt the “talking points” have already been drafted and distributed, and the insiders can lean back in their chairs and breathe a sigh of satisfaction at a job well done. But, despite this tremendous exercise in careful political posturing, unemployment remains too high, the federal debt is skyrocketing, and the economic is becalmed. For the rest of us outside the confines of the Beltway, the question is: “Now what?”
Today I’m holding my breath about getting to work, because yesterday’s morning drive caused me to realize, once again, that many of my fellow commuters are dangerous lunatics.
Sometime early yesterday a tanker truck overturned near the intersection of Route 161 and I-270, two of the major roads in Columbus. Both highways were closed in both directions for the entire morning rush hour. As a result, thousands of cars that normally use those arteries had to find alternative routes, and the entire east side of Columbus quickly became a paralyzed mass of red-faced, frustrated drivers. Every road heading in the direction of downtown was filled with cars inching along, bumper to bumper, going nowhere.
It’s amazing how quickly the veneer of civilization is ripped away when this kind of thing happens. After a few minutes of delay and the horrifying sight of long lines of stationary cars, drivers get the sinking feeling that this is going to be bad — and then the inner savage appears. Selfish drivers blithely block intersections as traffic lights change, infuriating everyone trying to get through the crossing. Drivers recklessly weave in and out, change lanes to move forward a single car length, and abruptly make illegal U-turns. Some people will drive on the berm, and other self-nominated traffic code enforcers try to block them from doing so.
You look at the well-dressed people in the stopped cars around you, gesturing angrily or beating their hands against the steering wheel, and you wonder whether they shouldn’t be wearing face paint and bearskins.

SWEENY — Sweeny Community Hospital is running another COVID-19 vaccination clinic, with the new one set for administration of the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine type.
The clinic will be from 8 a.m. to noon April 9 in Suite H of the hospital’s medical office building. People who would like to receive the vaccine need to register at is.gd/sweenyvax040921.
Sweeny received 500 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine this week — the Texas Department of State Health Services will release today the vaccine allocation for next week.
The county’s COVID dashboard will not be updated over the Easter holiday with health department employees taking Friday through Sunday off to spend time with their families. Throughout the past year, County Judge Matt Sebesta said the health department has only had four days off during the 13 months of the pandemic as they work to monitor and update Brazoria County’s cases.
“They have been rock stars throughout this,” Sebesta said. “They are going to take a few days off to celebrate Easter and everything it means to them.”
COVID-19 numbers in Brazoria County are around where they were in mid-November, according to county data. The county dropped to fewer than 1,300 active cases Wednesday.
There were two deaths along with the 142 new cases, according to the county’s Thursday infection report, breaking a string of a dozen days of cases being in double digits. The seven-day rolling average is at 65 cases per day.
The deceased were an Alvin woman in her 60s and a Manvel woman in her 90s. There were also 86 recoveries and 40 probable cases.
Pearland led cities with the most cases at 22, followed by Angleton with 13, 12 each for Alvin and Lake Jackson, nine in Freeport, six each in Clute and Manvel, four each in Liverpool and West Columbia, three each in Brazoria and Sweeny, two each in Brookside Village and Jones Creek, and one each in Danbury, Holiday Lakes, Iowa Colony and Richwood.
There were 17 cases among people in their 30s, followed by 16 cases each among people aged 10-19 years and those in their 20s, 14 cases among people in their 40s, 12 cases among children aged nine and younger, 11 cases among people in their 50s, 10 cases among people in their 60s, four cases for those in their 70s and two cases among people aged 80 years and older.
Probable cases account for those exhibiting COVID symptoms and who are linked to others who have tested positive for the virus, usually by living in the same household. The definition of probable cases also includes those for which antigen tests have provided presumptive laboratory evidence of infection, no matter whether the person qualifies as a close contact.
For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death. The vast majority of people recover.

Cheering From The Sidelines
There is a lovely quote that says …
“Only an aunt can give hugs like a mother, keep secrets like a sister and share love like a friend!”
I am not familiar with who wrote this, but it shares a special place in mine and my husband’s heart as we both feel very lucky to be actively involved in the lives of each of our four nephews.
It feels like only yesterday that we were visiting our respective sister and brother in hospital to welcome their little ones into the world. And in the blink of an eye we are about to celebrate one of them getting his P’s licence, one starting his first job and the younger two completing Year 8. Time surely does disappear literally in front of you!
For many of the early years the family often referred to us as “Team Relief” as alternating weekends would be taken up balancing my sister’s two boys and then my Husbands brother’s two boys. This was great for us as we got to play with our nephews all of the time, take them on adventures and watch them grow. Whilst their parents benefitted by taking advantage of some much needed and well-deserved rest time for themselves!
Being an Aunt and Uncle is one of those responsibilities you don’t put your hand up for. You don’t get to make plans or choose the timing for, it just happens. But being an Aunt and Uncle is like having the golden ticket from Charlie’s Chocolate Factory!
You are the fun one, the one that allows nerf battles and water balloon fights all day long and lounge room cubby house building and staying up late watching movies with buckets of popcorn all night. The one that they listen to (even though their parents have said the same thing a thousand times before) and the one they feel safe and comfortable about telling their problems to, having a shoulder to lean on. It is awesome being their role model. And what’s more, it is really awesome to have their parents support and encouragement to allow freedom and growth.
There were of course many challenging times, learning how to deal with tantrums, dealing with food they like or food they don’t like (for that week!), lost toys, broken favourite toys, what to wear, changing nappies, brushing teeth and dealing with how annoying kiddie TV shows can be! But no one makes us laugh harder than our nephews, the phrases, stories and witty cool comments that come out of their mouth is pure joy and entertainment.
Life deals us all stress and challenges in many ways, but we like to think we are a part of a bigger solution. A wonderful role in children’s education where we can provide support, mentor, cheer from the sidelines and be the adult friend our nephews need.
Hubby and I LOVE our nephews with all the hugs and kisses we can throw their way and have many proud moments that could be mentioned. We have created a tonne of memories so far with them and look forward to more cherished moments and enjoying more of life’s adventures that continue to come our way!

Don't buy it. Just returned mine. Bad for dark scenes and back lights ruin dark scenes.
- * Not Good at All *by J. Estrada
from Scarborough, ON on January 2, 2019
I bought this TV on December 24, 2019, after installing the TV and upgrading the software, I was watching a movie and the image froze several times and the TV turned irresponsive, so I have to unplug the power cord. Later my son was playing with the XBOX ONE and the image was frozen again and not able to turn it off so I had to unplug the power cord again. Just to make sure the setting was ok, I had to reset to factory settings but later the TV was getting the same faulty issues. It also worth mentioning that the image of this TV is not vivid neither colorful, I guess because it is a cheap television. IMPORTANT: when I returned the TV to the store, I have also noticed that there were some other TOSHIBA fire TVs on the "Return & Exchange" spot, they told me they that these TVs were faulty and they are returning them to TOSHIBA, so I guess there is a quality issue going on with this TV.

- Get what you pay forby Taylo
from Brampton, ON on December 16, 2018
I purchased this Television for a unbelievable price. Even at 700 its is outstandingly affordable. But you get what you pay for as they say. The Tv Picture washes from side view and it seems to fade from dark to light when watching Netflix. But for 529 it was an OK purchase. keeping in mind it to be classed as an "entry Level" 4k machine. Also there seems to be a sync issues with dialogue. Therefore based on performance I would only rate it a hard push to two stars
- buy cheap get cheapby disappointed but not surprised
from Brampton, ON on December 14, 2018
Title says it all.... there is a reason Samsung and LG are leaders . But for straight on viewing of non sporting events it is adequate. And anytime you can get 4k 55 inches at 529. ya gotta know there's sacrifice that goes with it. They call entry level tv's just that entry level.

Laser technologies: how to obtain good vision without glasses or contact lenses
Today, good vision without visual aids can be possible thanks to the latest laser technologies.
We asked the ophthalmologist about the different possibilities of laser eye surgery, the costs and the risks of such procedures.
Dr Mattana, could you briefly classify the most common visual defects and tell us how they can be treated?
In a healthy eye, the light rays' travel is modified by the cornea and the lens, so they can converge on the retina.
- In the myopic eye, which is longer than a healthy one, the light rays converge in front of the retina
- In the shorter hypermetropic eye, the rays converge behind the retina
- The astigmatic eye has an anomalous corneal curvature
All these visual defects result in an unfocussed vision and the only way for the patient to be able to see correctly is to either wear glasses, or contact lenses. The therapeutic alternative to wearing glasses or contacts is corneal surgery, with the aid of excimer laser technology.
What might encourage a patient to undergo laser treatment?
Refractive excimer laser surgery may be suggested to patients who have an exaggerated refractive difference between the eyes (anisometropia) or who do not tolerate the necessary vision correction. It is also indicated for those who cannot tolerate contact lenses or who have to work in environments where visual aids are not permitted.
How is the laser used in eye surgery?
The laser beam manages to remove tissue with utmost precision. It's impossible to perform this type of surgery by hand. We’re talking about ¼ of a micron (1000th of a millimetre) every time the laser strikes the surface of the eye. There is currently no other method that could guarantee this result. This is how surgeons can eliminate, or at least reduce, the defects caused by myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism.
Which are the different laser surgery techniques?
- Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) takes out microscopic parts of tissue from the corneal surface (photoablation), after the previous removal of a thin layer of tissue (epithelium).
- In laser-assisted epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK), the epithelium is not removed, as with PRK, but is instead lifted and repositioned, after the laser intervention.
- In laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), a flap of the corneal surface is raised and a thin layer of underlying tissue is removed using an additional laser, called femtosecond. This type of laser employs lower energy, emits extremely short impulses and is capable of performing surgically in the deeper part of the cornea (stroma) without damaging any of the superior layers.
- The SMILE technique has been developed in recent years. With the aid of the femtosecond laser, a tiny, lens-shaped bit of tissue (lenticule) within the cornea is created. Then, with the same laser, a small arc-shaped slit is made in the surface of the cornea, after which the surgeon can extract the lenticule through this incision and discard it. SMILE allows the surgeon to correct extreme myopia, up to 10 dioptres, in patients who have very little corneal thickness.
How long do the operations last, how painful are they and what kind of anesthesia is used?
By using topic anaesthesia (eye drops), the surgery is painless. All the techniques mentioned above bear very similar results, but the femtosecond laser can guarantee an optimal result faster and with less irritation. We are talking about 30–40 seconds of laser treatment.
Could you tell us how to behave as a patient after the operation?
After the surgery, it is important to follow the therapy suggested by the doctor. Usually, a patient takes 7 to 10 days to have a satisfying level of vision and about a month to achieve an optimal one. Only one month after the operation can you do sports and go to the sauna or swimming pool, apply make-up to your eyes and dye your hair. Neglect in following post-operative therapy and the deadlines of specialist checks can influence the final refractive result and cause complications, rarely even serious ones. It is therefore essential to follow the prescriptions of the surgeon.

Dark Times:Rise of the Half-Men
De quelle industrie votre entreprise est-elle la plus proche?
Arts et divertissements
Parlez-nous de vous et des personnes que vous souhaitez cibler
Its not a business, I need a cover for an ebook.
Qu'est-ce qui vous inspire et comment imaginez-vous le design de votre entreprise?
I need a book cover for an ebook. It needs to be compatible with Amazon Kindle, Android and other such devices in which books can be downloaded. The novel is called Dark Times:Rise of the Half-Men. It's a sci-fi action thriller set three hundred years from now. It's not the type of sci-fi with spaceships, lasers or robots or any of that nonsense. It's about a world where religion is seen as a disease and people of faith are experimented on. The story concerns a rough-and-ready cop called Merrick Taylor, whose job it is is to hunt down people of faith for the Medical Division, headed by a cold ruthless woman called Dr Rona Kulley. He discovers that the world has been lied to and as a result the powers that be have made him a fugitive. The story is a loose mish-mash of 1984 and The Da Vinci Code, set in a world that resembles Bladerunner. So the themes are sci-fi (no aliens or spaceships), conspiracy, apocalyptic wars and action. Please note that this is not a horror story. Some designs I've received tend to lean towards horror, which this story is not. Images of a futuristic city, or scene of apocalyptic destruction in the background would be a very good idea. The hero, should you decide to put him on the cover, looks like Harrison Ford in Bladerunner - that type of look.
Other than the title and my name on the cover, I'd also like a quote from a writer called CM Taylor, it reads - 'An action-packed sci-fi thriller with a teasing philosophical premise.'

Technology transforming referral management at Lincolnshire Community
Cayder delivers solution within four weeks to pro-actively manage patients electronically across health and social care
Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS) has deployed technology that allows healthcare professionals to pro-actively manage patient referrals and deliver care more efficiently in the community.
The deployment of Cayder’s Patient Flow Management System supports a countywide acute admissions reductions programme, which includes a focus on pro-active care, case management and early intervention to avert crisis and keep patients in the most-appropriate care setting.
The programme also responds in part to the significant growth in the number of people over the age of 85 in Lincolnshire.
Cayder, working closely with the trust, was able to roll out the solution within four weeks of the initial contact meeting.
The Cayder software is being used by more than 200 staff, such as service advisors and clinical leads, at LCHS’ contact centre. This takes calls from colleagues across health and social care to pro-actively manage any referrals that can be treated in the community, helping to reduce the number of hospital admissions.
The software helps LCHS staff quickly access the current location and status of patients under their care, allowing them to make better and more-efficient decisions on managing referrals. This supports the trust’s challenge in managing one of the largest healthcare communities, an area of 2,350 square miles with a population of 735,000.
Jo Cudmore, business lead for winter management at LCHS said: “Due to the huge geographical area we cover, we wanted to know what capacity we had at each community hospital and in each of our community nursing and therapy teams in real time. Now our teams are able to get information on our inpatients and those in the community through virtual wards very quickly on our electronic whiteboards in any of our four hospital sites.”
The trust is also using the software to help manage the progress of patients through treatment and then back into the community.
Cudmore said: “This has led to more-efficient communication for us as traditionally it was all done by phone, calling the local team who had to manually find out what was going on and confirming we had the right person in the right place. This technology lets us track our patients in real time, so our teams can communicate electronically, making the process much quicker.”

Lazarus #3 Review
Greg Rucka has put together the best issue of the series so far. The writing in this issue is superb as far as dialogue goes. More and more, I appreciate being able to read dialogue easily, if that makes any sense. Reading this book is easy because what the characters say seems believable, conversational, and it just seems right. That’s why I enjoy reading Matt Fraction. This week’s Batman Superman was quite the opposite; it was hard to read.
Michael Lark’s art is as good and consistent as ever. The meat, however, is how the plot moves us along and introduces us to quite the interesting set of premises. The Carlyle Lazarus, Forever, is presumably captured by the Morray’s at the beginning of the book. Her and the Morray Lazarus brutally ease themselves out of this awkward situation and eventually find themselves relating to one another, Lazarus to Lazarus. Forever is here to see the Murrays to broker a deal that would mutually benefit the rival families.
Meanwhile, the Carlyle twins continue with their scheming at home, planning to take out their sister and Lazarus, Forever. While Forever is meeting with the Morray’s, she places a deal, or ultimatum depending on how you look at it, on the table. This deal is not only revelatory, it is something that finally sets in stone where we might be heading in this book.
Comics have always been about cliffhangers. The same thing can be said here. While we are left with a cliffhanger that begs you to buy next issue, I found what preceded the last page of the book more than enough to keep me hooked. This is a story that is shaping up to be brilliant. I am excited to see where we are headed with this world.

Roller bottles make it super easy to use essential oils on your skin. Once the bottle is made (by combining essential oils with a carrier oil, such as liquid coconut oil), simply unscrew the cap and rub onto your skin!
It’s super helpful to make a few different rollers, such as an immune boosting roller, a sleep roller, a stress roller, a tummy roller.
Then, I make one of each of those for my kids as well, since theirs would need to be more diluted.
Stock up on extra roller bottles here! \/

Published by: HAL Laboratory
Developed by: HAL Laboratory
Platform: Nintendo (NES)
One could worry about the lack of normal games for "Ghostbusters" on NES, if Hal Laboratory, which released the eponymous game on Game Boy, did not make her and our beloved console happy. We play with a view from above. In the beginning we choose two hunters: one is our character; The other is auxiliary, it is controlled by a computer. We catch ghosts, tirelessly striking them with a ray, and wait until the helper approaches and entangles them. The graphics in the game are good, the design levels are just excellent. An interesting and entertaining game, which should be the ideal "busters".
In the game itself, the choice can be made of five characters (they are absolutely identical in terms of playing qualities). The fifth hunter can become the secretary of the firm Luis, in the film playing a more modest role.
Note that the paralyzing beam will be the weapon of the first of the selected characters, and the second one, controlled by the computer, will be a trap.
Encounter with ghosts badly affects the health of the first of the hunters (the fortieth will be fatal, but there will be two more attempts in the reserve) and at the same time it is completely harmless for the second one.
The trap works only when the ghost caught by the ray glows red.
Red monsters evaporate simply as a result of good roasting by a paralyzing beam, without any hunter intervention with the trap.
The two chosen heroes go to rescue Jane, her child and New York from the clutches of Vigo and his servants. The first character chosen is the master (joystick control), and at his disposal the paralyzing beam (button B). The second, guided character, drags a trap with him, is controlled by a computer and in his actions is quite autonomous. The trap is triggered when button A is pressed, but only during the paralysis beam action (button B pressed). In this case, the beam itself only works for about five seconds, so it is necessary to act as quickly as possible.
For good Americans, legality is above all, and therefore the noble mission of hunters begins with the court building, where two brother-recidivists, long deceased, but still restless, interfere with the administration of justice. Passing through the rooms of the court and clearing them from the metered small spirits (the direction of the movement is shown by flashing white arrows), the hunters get to the meeting room, where they directly encounter brothers-thieves. Here we must bear in mind that the trap will work only when the ghost caught by the ray turns red (apparently, out of shame for what was done). The same thing happens at the end of the penultimate stage of the game, during the battle with the enchanted Zhano, which, however, also multiplies by division. Two more exceptions to the rules arise in a collision with fire-breathing monsters from the red mud at the end of the journey through the underground labyrinths, filled with this rubbish, and when meeting with Vigo at the very end of the game. Red monsters evaporate simply as a result of a good roasting paralyzing beam, without any intervention of the hunter with the trap. Vigo is a much stronger guy than monsters, but the recipe described is good for him. Only to fry it properly should be several times. All other barrels are eliminated in the traditional way, with the help of a ray and a trap.
Of course, for all real ghost hunters, the game will be a good entertainment. It does not require a convulsive throwing from corner to corner and constantly holding a finger on the shooting button. Good graphics are accompanied by pleasant and diverse music. True, some fatigue can cause a rather monotonous operation to clean up the incredibly prolific ghosts of a huge block house - room by room, floor by floor. But, really, efforts are worth it - evil should not go unpunished.

Learn how experimentation can transform a business’s approach to product, marketing and risk.
From co-creation and cultivation of a social community for ideas, to empowering an entire business to work on new product development, brands need to open up if they want to stay ahead of the innovation curve.
The end of the year is a time for reflection, and for looking back at what we can learn from the brands that stood out in marketing in 2019.
In the latest edition of the Marketing Week Explores podcast, we look back at the best campaigns of the past 12 months and offer our predictions for the biggest marketing trends for 2020.
The new campaign focuses on the role of TV advertising in business transformation for the first time, using a mythical character – the Tooth Fairy – and her struggles to grow her new business.
Not all publicity is good publicity, but as long as you don’t undermine your proposition or entirely alienate your market, the salience gained from a bad news story often outweighs any damage to brand image.

Chain-of-command issues One of the most troubling scenarios of dating in the workplace involves a relationship that forms between a supervisor and a subordinate.No matter how consensual the relationship may seem, there is always a chance that the subordinate will later claim that he was coerced into the relationship by the supervisor.by Kylie Crawford Ten Brook According to a 2012 Stanford University sociology study, 10 percent of people meet their spouses at work. Unfortunately, not all relationships end well, and when they don’t, employers can face harassment and retaliation claims.Although most businesses have no rules about office relationships, now may be the time—while the office is awash in hearts and the fragrance of flowers—to decide what’s best for your workplace.Growing up, you most-likely made most of your friends and love connections with other kids you went to school with because that’s where you spent the bulk of your time.
These are characteristics that help determine whether or not a pair matches.
This article looks beyond the first heady weeks of office romance and gets down the nitty gritty.
Before you accept the offer of a date from that cute new guy in accounting, learn a little more about navigating the minefield of workplace romance. When you spend this much time with someone, you get to know them on an intimate, day-to-day level.
Dorothy Tannahill Moran puts it this way: “There are groups like law enforcement and the investigative agencies that have had great success actually relationships because the demands and pressures being put on them are often unique to their professions.
Being in a relationship where someone knows those demands and how that can likely impact time and availability is vital for any kind of relationship growth.

The company said that it has signed a term sheet to buy a 51% stake in Singapore-based animation company Vividthree Production. Deal terms were not revealed, though MM2 said that it hopes to complete due diligence by the end of March.
“With this lateral extension into 3D animation services, the group believes it will strengthen its competitive advantage as a movie producer and eventually gain access to new markets, customers and business opportunities,” MM2 said in a statement.
Vividthree provides 3D stereoscopic animation, 3D animation and vfx for feature films and commercials. Credits include 3D animation feature film “Zodiac, the Race Begins…,” “The Wedding Game,” “It’s a Great Great World” and hit MM2 title “Ah Boys to Men.” It also co-produced “Robotropolis” with Bleiberg Entertainment and Boku Films.
“Ah Boys to Men 3: Frogmen,” MM2’s latest film release, grossed US$2.23 million (S$2.83 million) in its opening four days (February 19-22) over the Chinese New Year holidays. That made it the top-grossing opening weekend Chinese New Year movie of 2015 and also the top-grossing opening weekend Asian movie of all time at the Singapore box office.


I was able to find a Nikon Z7 in Berlin and decided to shoot with it at least until the Z6 comes out, when I’ll reassess whether it is worth 3800 euros. Nevertheless, this camera tells us 90% of what we need to know about that one too.
Note: My camera is running firmware version 0.2! If the performance changes when updated, I will re-do the test
Does the Panasonic GH5S finally achieve full-frame like performance at ISO 12,800 against the best of the competition?
Here I put the little nocturnal fox in the ring with the Sony A7R III, A7S II, Nikon D850 and the plain old ‘non-video-orientated’ GH5.
Just last month I went to visit Panasonic UK for a hands-on with the new Panasonic GH5S. My full review is in the pipeline but first an introduction to the new camera on the block…
The GH5S has a newly developed 10.2MP sensor for enhanced low light performance with Dual Native ISO technology, as well as 240fps 1080p S&Q.
For the first time since the GH2 this sensor is an over-sized 1.86x crop multi-aspect sensor. Possible for the first time is 60p at Cinema 4K resolution (4096 x 2160), whereas the GH5 is just Ultra HD 60p. The field-of-view will be slightly wider in Cinema 4K on the GH5S compared to the GH5 due to the larger sensor. The new CMOS also brings colour improvements with a new 14bit readout and less noise.
In the last few weeks you may have heard rumors about the Panasonic “GH5S” from the usual places. It all sounds quite compelling. Rather than a high megapixel stills and video hybrid, the “S” model would focus even more on cinema with some astounding capabilities not seen on anything remotely similar.

The United States has a long and unfortunate history of election fraud. The Heritage Foundation is providing a list of election fraud cases from across the country, broken down by state, where individuals were either convicted of vote fraud, or where a judge overturned the results of an election. This is not an exhaustive list […]
About Heritage Action
Heritage Action turns conservative ideas into reality on Capitol Hill. We do that by holding lawmakers accountable to their promises to advance the conservative principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.
We work directly with federal lawmakers inside and outside of Washington — the only way to bring about the conservative policies that hold true to our Founding Fathers’ ideals. Heritage Action exists to ensure that these ideals are not only maintained but flourish, both now and for future generations.
Heritage Action’s unique strategy combines inside-the-Beltway lobbying with outside-the-Beltway grassroots pressure.
Powerful Inside-the Beltway Influence
Our Capitol Hill lobbying team works directly with lawmakers and their staffs to implement conservative solutions — solutions drawn from our partners at The Heritage Foundation. While other lobbyists push for a special interest agenda, we lobby on behalf of American principles. And our groundbreaking legislative Scorecard grades lawmakers on the votes and bill sponsorships that are most critical to advancing the conservative mission over both the short and long term.
Influential Grassroots Network
Meanwhile, our team of grassroots coordinators organizes an elite group of almost 20,000 Sentinel activists who are on the front lines of the conservative fight. Leveraging personal relationships with lawmakers and tools like letters to the editors and calls to Congress, they apply essential political pressure that holds their representatives accountable to our nation’s founding principles.
Since our founding in 2010, Heritage Action has both thwarted the liberal agenda and advanced conservative principles. We have kept up momentum for Obamacare repeal even when the Establishment has declared it not worth fighting. We have led the fight for both spending cuts and tax cuts, and our bold stance against confirming any of Barack Obama’s judicial nominees in 2016 paved the way for Neil Gorsuch’s confirmation to the Supreme Court in 2017.

The Dunedin designer has turned her Company of Strangers and Strangelove labels into commercial successes and, to a degree, has Margi Robertson to thank.
Mrs Munro spoke about her career yesterday as part of iD Dunedin Fashion Week.
Her love of fashion eventually led to her job of adapting patterns to measure in a Wellington workroom, and doing artisanal work at home for Nom*D.
''Margi would send me up things and I would sit on the couch and hand-sew, then she needed someone to make samples in her workroom and I came back to Dunedin.''
Mrs Munro spent six years at Nom*D, learning about commercial fashion and making the odd mistake.
''I once over-ordered about 300m of fabric.''
She had a brief fling with the notion of becoming a photographer, then turned back to design and created jewellery for sale in a friend's boutique.
Her pieces were popular and she branched out into bags and leather wear, then clothing.
Mrs Munro said, in retrospect, she had long yearned to develop her own brand, inclusive of clothing accessories and shoes, which Company of Strangers embodied.
Her flagship store in George St was also a dream come true.
Designing was a collaborative process, in which she and her workroom staff bounced ideas off one another.
Pieces approved by all were selected for collections, Mrs Munro said.
''In a range there will be about 60 pieces, probably about 24 styles, and each is broken down into different fabrics and maybe two or three colours,'' Mrs Munro said.
Collaborations with artists have also become signature Company of Strangers style.
Mrs Munro will show her latest collection on the runway at tomorrow's iD Dunedin Fashion Show, which will also be held on Saturday.

For the past few days, Samantha has been setting the internet on fire with posts from her Spanish vacation with husband Naga Chaitanya. The actress, who left to Ibiza to celebrate father-in-law Nagarjuna's birthday, seems to be extending her stay there.
Samantha recently shared a short clip from a party there. Sam let her guard down and is seen dancing her hearts out to Queen's We Will Rock You. On the other hand, Naga Chaitanya is trying to match her enthusiasm.
Pointing out at Naga Chaitanya's disposition. Samantha hilariously captioned the post: "I love you for always pretending to be as enthusiastic as I am."
Sam and Chay are still the most happening couple in the South, who will be celebrating their second wedding anniversary next month.
The two actors met during the shoot of Ye Maaya Chesave, which was directed by Gautam Vasudev Menon. After dating for 8 long years, the couple tied the knot in 2017.
On the work front, Samantha was last seen in Oh Baby, which was met with good response. She will next reprise the role of Trisha in the Telugu remake of 96, according to reports.

Even as they’re locked in a bitter, high-stakes battle over the federal Renewable Fuel Standard, the ethanol and oil industries each say they need to put aside differences and work together to prepare for an existential threat to both of their futures: electric cars.
As France, Germany and Italy chastised President Trump for rejecting the Paris climate accord in June and mocked the U.S. for turning its back on the environment, their nations were busy importing record amounts of American coal.
Sen. Ted Cruz on Wednesday will travel to Philadelphia for a battle in his war against the ethanol industry, meeting with workers at an oil refinery that says it faces financial ruin due to the federal biofuels mandate.
President Trump endorsed a 25-cent gas tax hike to pay for an ambitious infrastructure plan at a White House meeting with senior administration officials and lawmakers both parties, according to a report by Axios.
With their industry under increasing attack, ethanol leaders on Tuesday appealed directly to President Trump and cast him as an unwavering ally who will stand up for their interests in Washington, even as key administration officials examine regulatory changes that could hurt the biofuels sector.

- Common Core supporters are beginning to distance themselves from President Barack Obama, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and other federal officials in an attempt to keep from fueling more opposition to the education standards.
- Many states were early to embrace the benchmarks, which were designed to better align states' curriculums, but a growing number — Massachusetts and Louisiana being the latest — are pulling back from or delaying tests and assessments, and even the standards at large.
- The increasing skepticism from parents and activist groups is leading some analysts and backers of the rollout to ask that the Obama administration silence its Common Core cheerleading
The Obama administration's ties to the Common Core State Standards go as far as making Race to the Top funds dependent upon their adoption. Combine that with wariness of a "big government takeover" of education by those on the far right, and it's understandable that supporters of the initiative would want to separate themselves. Of course, it also doesn't help that Education Secretary Arne Duncan insulted suburban moms a few weeks ago when speaking about opposition to the initiative. We'd be trying to get away, too.


Three convicted after lengthy investigations
Burglary, fraud, theft cases solved
PETERBOROUGH — Three cases involving crimes committed in 2011 and 2012 were resolved recently in Hillsborough County Superior Court, with convictions in all three instances, according to Peterborough Police Chief Scott Guinard.
On Aug. 17, 2012, a woman arriving at her home on Old Street Road in the afternoon saw a man coming out of the house. She provided a description of the man and his vehicle, including a license plate number, Guinard said, and a few days later an off-duty Bradford officer noticed the vehicle in Henniker. Christopher Ferraro, 27, of Concord was arrested and charged with burglary.
Last month, Ferraro was convicted and sentenced to three to seven years in N.H. State prison. He was also ordered to pay $500 in restitution to the victim, to cover the deductible on her insurance claim on jewelry that was stolen.
In a second case, Jaime Zielinski, 30, of Peterborough was convicted of identity fraud, two counts of fraudulent use of a credit card and possession of a controlled drug. Guinard said an investigation began in 2011 after a wallet was stolen in Nashua and the victim’s credit cards used in Nashua, Amherst and Peterborough. He said police discovered Zielinski had been using many stolen credit cards.
“At one point, we had 10 investigations going at once,” he said.
Zielinski was sentenced on the identity fraud charge to one to three years in the N.H. State Women’s Prison. On the fraudulent use of credit card charges, she was sentenced to one year in the Hillsborough County House of Corrections, to be served concurrently with the other sentence. On the drug possession charge, she was given a suspended sentence of one and a half to three years in jail, with the period of suspension to start when she is released from jail.
Guinard said the investigation of Zielinski’s activities took hundreds of man hours, and he thanked the Hillsborough County Attorney’s Office, Amherst, Nashua and Merrimack police, Walmart’s loss prevention team, People’s United Bank’s fraud investigation team, the Big Apple convenience store and Monadnock Community Hospital’s security department for assistance.
Garrett Lobacki, 27, of Hancock was convicted on two felony theft charges. Guinard said Lobacki, who lived in an apartment attached to a home on Old Dublin Road, stole multiple items from the home, including a snowplow, metal items that he sold and diesel fuel, between July and November in 2011.
Lobacki was sentenced to two to six years in prison, with the sentence suspended for five years on the condition that he repay $8,000, complete a drug and alcohol treatment program and remain on good behavior. Guinard said an additional felony charge that is pending will not be brought forward if Lobacki complies with the conditions of the sentence.

When it comes to forex trading, leverage can be a powerful tool that allows traders to increase their potential returns. However, if not used effectively, leverage can also lead to substantial losses. Therefore, it is crucial for traders to understand how to use leverage in forex trading wisely. In this article, we will discuss five key strategies for effectively using leverage in forex trading.
Adequate Risk Management
One of the most important rules when using leverage in forex trading is to have a sound risk management strategy in place. This means setting a stop-loss order at a reasonable level to limit potential losses. Traders should also avoid over-leveraging their positions, as this can quickly deplete their account balance. By having a clear risk management plan, traders can protect themselves from significant losses and ensure their long-term success in the forex market.
Understand Margin Requirements
Before using leverage in forex trading, traders should thoroughly understand the margin requirements set by their broker. Margin requirements determine the amount of capital that needs to be deposited in the trading account to open and maintain a leveraged position. It is crucial for traders to have enough margin to cover their potential losses. Ignoring or misunderstanding the margin requirements can lead to forced liquidation of positions and unexpected losses.
Start with Small Leverage
For those new to forex trading, it is advisable to start with small leverage and gradually increase it as they gain experience and confidence. Trading with high leverage without sufficient knowledge and practice can be incredibly risky. By starting with low leverage and slowly increasing it, traders can learn to manage their risks effectively and better understand how leverage affects their trading strategies.
Be Mindful of High Volatility
High volatility in the forex market can amplify both gains and losses when using leverage. Traders need to be mindful of the potential risks associated with increased market volatility. It is crucial to assess market conditions carefully and adjust leverage accordingly. During highly volatile periods, it may be wise to reduce the leverage used to avoid excessive losses resulting from sudden price fluctuations.
Continuously Monitor Positions
Lastly, traders should continuously monitor their positions when using leverage in forex trading. Leverage amplifies both profits and losses, so it is essential to stay vigilant and actively manage trades. Monitoring positions allows traders to make timely adjustments or exit trades if market conditions change. It is also crucial to regularly review and analyze trading performance to identify patterns, refine strategies, and ensure that leverage is being used effectively.
In conclusion, leverage can be a valuable tool in forex trading if used wisely. By implementing adequate risk management, understanding margin requirements, starting with small leverage, being mindful of high volatility, and continuously monitoring positions, traders can effectively use leverage to enhance their trading performance and achieve long-term success in the forex market.

By Richard Menta- 4/3/01
Today Senator Orin Hatch will open the latest hearings on the digital music industry. Called "Online Entertainment and Copyright Law: Coming Soon to a Digital Device Near You," Early highlights include a rally by 1,000 Napster supporters lead by Shawn Fanning and Chuck D and testimony by Alanis Morissette and Ted Nugent.
Nugent has been particularly vocal against Napster, feeling the service is nothing more than theft and should be shut down. Morissette, on the other hand, was an early investor in online music, trading music tracks for an equity stake in MP3.com. Morissette has since divested herself of most of that stock, a financially sound move that was more a reaction to the stock market's significant downturn.
Along with the celebrities, which also include Don Henley, the usual cast of CEO's from Napster's Hank Barry to Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) chief Hillary Rosen will be there. It was at such a hearing last year when Rosen lit up Senator Hatches ire by her comments on fair use and home taping (she said home taping, which by law is defined as fair use, isn't fair use).
Is this hearing moot?
The question about this hearing may be whether it is moot or not. Unless the congress enacts new laws that protect Napster, the company is at high risk to be closed by the courts. At the very least the monetary damages it may lose in civil court could lead to its dismantling. Senator Hatch is already on record as saying he objects to rewriting the law, so despite their march Napster's fate will probably remain in the court's hands.
The music industry also seems to be taking Hatch's threats that if the music companies do not negotiate the licensing of their music online, he will author legislation to set up a rate chart. Hatch understands that the music labels are more interested in keeping the status quo because they KNOW it is profitable versus the unknowns of online technology. He is fully aware that the issue here is control of a budding industry and if the music industry can't control early on, they will then kill technological progress to protect their interests.
Hatches threats have helped blunt that, pushing the reluctant record companies to speed up licensing with several deals already announced. Just this last week, Real networks announced a deal with AOL Time Warner, EMI Group and Bertelsmann (majority partner in Napster) to establish a new music subscription service online dubbed MusicNet. One of the byproducts of this arrangement is the possible inclusion of Napster in the licensing deal. If such licensing happens - and all of Bertelsmann's weight is being used to make it happen - the service will have effectively settled with three of the five major labels. Market forces will be well on their way to settling the matter before there is a need for full Washington intervention.
But as we have pointed out in the past, while the labels appear as allies in the Napster case, they are bitters rivals everywhere else. Universal, the largest of the music labels, doesn't like the fact that Bertelsmann has control of Napster's 60 million user base (a number that has been dropping since the advent of that service's filtering software to block out record industry music). They have already partnered with Sony on a new Napster competitor called Duet, which should appear sometime this fall. Napster is now a direct competitor and good business says to destroy your competitor and take his market share. Universal has little incentive to settle with Napster.
Universal is also the most litigious of the Big Five, refusing to settle their case with MP3.com as the other labels did and wining a big settlement. Universal's highly aggressive tactics are the type Senator Hatch fears most and the reason he made his threats.
Despite some forward progress, Hatch might find reason yet for a strong government hand in this deal. Don't count on it though, congress doesn't exactly move fast. Still, there are enough holes and vagaries in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that over the next couple of years, amendment may be unavoidable.

Due to the decline in global markets, the domestic stock market is also showing a tremendous decline on Monday, September 20, 2021. Metal, pharma, PSU banking and pharma stocks showed losses in the domestic market today amid the decline in Asian markets. Sensex fell almost 500 points in early trade today. At the same time, Nifty came down from its psychological level of 17,450. In the opening, the Sensex fell 352.16 points, or 0.60%, to open at 58,663.73 and the Nifty opened at 17,458.80, down 126.40 points, or 0.72%.
At 9.57 in the morning, the Sensex had fallen 207.74 points or 0.35% to reach the level of 58,808.15. At the same time, Nifty was at the level of 17,510.75 during this period. There was a decline of 74.40 points i.e. 0.42%. After the market opened today, 650 shares had gained and 1333 shares had declined.
Asian stocks fell significantly today. The Hong Seng fell 4 percent today. The Straits Times lost 0.35 per cent and the Australian index S&P ASX 200 lost nearly 2 per cent,
Let us tell you that regarding the trading of this week, analysts say that the direction of the stock markets will be decided by the global trend this week. Big macroeconomic data is not to come on the domestic front this week, so investors will be watching the decision of the US central bank Federal Reserve on interest rates and global indicators.
If we talk about the previous session, the BSE Sensex closed with a fall of 125 points on Friday due to profit-booking by investors on the high price of shares. The Sensex had gone up to a high of 59,737 in the early trade. During trading, the Sensex, based on 30 stocks, fluctuated 866 points. In the end, it closed at 59,015.89, down 125.27 points, or 0.21 percent. Nifty slipped 44.35 points, or 0.25 percent, to close at 17,585.15. During trading, it had gone up to the highest level of 17,792.95 points.


Caledonia Group were recently awarded the contract to refurbish the thermal insulation and cladding to the main hot air duct between the main furnace and the dryer buildings at Brikmakers Production Facility in Perth WA.
Caledonia were engaged to remove the non-compliant and poorly installed insulation works that had been conducted by a previous contractor and install new, fully compliant insulation and cladding.
The Caledonia team again worked with the client to ensure that all technical and aesthetical requirements were accounted for and achieved.
This work involved the design and geometrical development of large complex shapes that were fabricated and installed to tight tolerances on a tight “shutdown” schedule. Despite working with restricted access, dusty, and extremely hot furnace-like conditions, Caledonia completed these works ahead of schedule and delivered a finished product with a very high level of quality and finish that was well regarded and signed off by the client with a 100% quality compliance.
