Two-thirds of Americans said they “often” or “always” felt lonely in 2019. That report was completed prior to the coronavirus pandemic, but research has found that ‘risk factors for loneliness were near identical before and during the pandemic.’ One of the ways you can combat loneliness is by joining a recreational sports team.
“It is all about you creating a personal connection with other people,” Robert Herzog, CEO & founder of the social sports company ZogSports, says in The New York Times “In Social Sports, It’s About Camaraderie, Not Competition” article.
A Harvard University study of adult development that followed over 700 men for 75 years found that good relationships keep us happier and healthier.
“We’ve learned three big lessons about relationships,” says Robert Waldinger, a psychiatrist, professor, and the adult development study’s director, in a TED talk. “The first is that social connections are really good for us, and that loneliness kills. It turns out that people who are more socially connected to family, to friends, community, are happier, they’re physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less well connected.”
So, whether you’re a former Division I athlete, gym class hero, or someone who hasn’t played recreational sports since you were a little kid, there may be no better time to sign up for a rec league than today.
WHY PLAY RECREATIONAL SPORTS?
“By now the evidence is abundant and decisive: social connection significantly affects health,” according to a Scientific American article. “When you believe that you have people in your life who care about you, and you interact with them regularly, you are better off.”
Recreational sports offer a number of additional benefits in addition to social connection.
“The most basic benefit of team sports for adults is exercise,” according to Apex Indoor Sports. “Especially for those who do not enjoy running or going to the gym, joining an indoor soccer team or softball league is a great way to get some exercise while having a good time.”
Apex Indoor Sports says that playing on a team can improve your motivation, boost your confidence in your abilities, and allow you to have fun with others.
“Many adults have weeks full of stress and deadlines,” according to Apex Indoor Sports. “Everyone needs a way to escape the pressure of daily life. Team sports can be a great way to take a break. Commitments that do not involve work or family pressure can be a relief for many and serve as a needed breath of fresh air during the week.”
Playing rec league sports will also positively influence other areas of your life, as well.
“Teamwork on the court teaches us how to work together off the court,” Dr. Joshua Klapow, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and host of The Kurre and Klapow Show tells Mic. “As much as these may be ‘game skill,’ they are critical goal attainment skills that we need in work, in relationships, and in life.”
WHERE CAN YOU FIND TEAMS?
One of the easiest ways to find a team is to ask your friends if any of them are on a recreational sports team. If they are, see if their team has an opening, and if they do ask to join. It’ll make the transition onto the team a lot smoother and less nerve-racking since you already know someone there on your first day.
The next quickest way to find a team is to search for recreational sports leagues near you on the web. There are usually two types of leagues you can join – leagues organized by your city or county recreation department, or leagues organized by a standalone business, according to The Denver Post. Just make sure not to get discouraged if you come up with a lot of potential options.
“There are so many options for rec league sports that it can be overwhelming at first,” according to The Denver Post.“The best advice? Just do it. You’re likely to have a good time, no matter which league or sport you choose. At the very least, you’ll get outside of your comfort zone and stretch yourself, which is something worth celebrating all on its own.”
A lot of the leagues usually have free agent or solo player options in which you’ll be able to join a team without knowing anyone if you’re new to town, or it’s your first time playing rec league sports. Sometimes leagues even create teams with all the new players who sign up, which works out really well for everyone involved since you don’t have to worry about being the only new person on an already established team.
You can also look into whether your job has a workplace sponsored team that you can become a part of, or even consider posting on social media and asking whether anyone has recommendations for leagues you should join, or knows of any openings on a team. Who knows, maybe you’ll find out that you have a lot of friends who are interested in playing a rec league sport with you, which will allow you to start a team of your own.
HOW DO THE TEAMS WORK?
Usually, there’s a captain or a team leader who’s in charge of working with the league and then passing all of that information along to the rest of the team. The captain is often the person responsible for collecting team dues from each player and making sure the team is paid in full (if there are league fees), sending out weekly messages to the team letting them know when games are, and making sure there are enough players for each game.
If you’re a member of the team, you’re expected to make it to as many games as possible since you’re a valuable part of the team, and everyone else is counting on you to show up and do your job. It’s also your responsibility to reply to your captain’s e-mails, possibly replying all to your entire team letting everyone know whether you’re ‘in’ or ‘out’ for a scheduled game. It’s usually the captain’s responsibility to find replacements (if the league allows fill-in players) to play the game if your team won’t be able to field enough players for a particular date. But if you know anyone interested in playing, you can let your captain and your team know. This is a perfect opportunity for friends of yours who have been looking for a team to join, but haven’t found one yet. You’ll be able to see if they’re a good potential fit to join the team in the future, or not. And if you still haven’t found a team, it’s not the worst idea to ask if you can be a fill-in player, which can lead to a full-time position on a team the following season.
When signing up for a league, make sure that the team you’re joining plays games on days that you’re available. A lot of times teams will have specific days that they’ll play like Wednesday nights or Sunday afternoons. If a certain day of the week doesn’t work for you, make sure not to sign up for a team that plays on that day.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?
“Bigger, more urban cities will have much more variety and options of sports to try, while smaller, rural areas will be a little more limited,” according to Pro Rec Athlete. “Either way, there will be some fun options.”
Before joining a league, it’s important to know the competitiveness of the league, as well as the skill level of the team you’re joining. Many leagues will have different divisions for teams based on overall skill levels. Usually, the highest level is made up of former pros or athletes who were D-I college athletes, and the lowest level is for beginners looking to learn the game and just have some fun. Most of the athletes playing on rec league teams will find themselves somewhere in the middle of those two skill levels. But don’t sweat it. If you find yourself playing on a team in the wrong level, you can usually switch to a different team that’s more appropriate for your athletic level. The key when it comes to rec league sports is making sure that you’re getting out, having fun, and meeting new people while exercising.


Hyderabad, Jan 7 (UNI) The Parliamentary Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice today felt that the Constitution should be amended to facilitate setting up of Supreme Court benches in different parts of the country for 'public convenience'.
Talking to reporters here, Committee Chairman E M Sudarsana Nachiappan opined that with the apex court turning down the Committee's earlier recommendations for constituting its benches in the four regions of the country, there was an urgent need to take to legal recourse to ensure speedy disposal of cases.
Now, no bench could be set up without the consent of the apex court, he said, adding that over 30 lakh cases relating to grievances of Government employees, were pending before the Supreme Court and High Courts.
Mr Nachiappan wanted the Chairmen and Managing Directors of various Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) to go for out-of-court settlements through arbitration and conciliation, and concentrate on competing with the private sector.
Concerned over non-filling up of a large number of vacancies in the posts reserved for Scheduled Tribes and physically-challenged persons, the Committee Chairman referred to reports that many of them were falling in the trap of insurgents and directed the PSU heads to fill up vacancies soon.
''Ninty per cent of the posts reserved for STs and the physically challenged, particularly the blind, remained unfilled,'' he lamented.

As we head into 2017, it’s time to look forward and see what the future holds for digital marketing.
The internet is changing constantly, with new developments created every day that change how people live their lives. For marketers, this means there are always exciting opportunities to grab attention and earn your clients’ trust, whether they’re moving home or purchasing groceries online.
Here are the top ten trends in digital marketing to expect over the next twelve months:
10. Video content will become even more important
As internet speeds increase all over the world, video becomes easier to watch and companies start creating longer forms of video content specifically designed for social media platforms – such as Snapchat stories, Instagram videos and Facebook Live videos. Social networks are also shaping up to be increasingly video-focused, with Facebook in particular placing a lot of emphasis on the format.
9. The popularity of livestreaming
We saw this trend really take off during 2016, and it’s likely to stay strong for some time yet. People are naturally drawn to livestreaming platforms because they offer authenticity – you have an unfiltered view into the lives of your favourite celebrities or brands, without any editing or censorship. Not only that, but companies are increasingly taking advantage by hosting events through livestreams to engage audiences around the world at once.
8 . More personalisation online
Brands will continue to put more focus on providing different kinds of content depending on who is viewing it – whether that be using machine learning technology to deliver personalised emails, or simply by using the data they’ve collected to deliver more relevant ads.
7. The rise of chatbots
We saw Facebook Messenger launch its own chatbot store in 2016, and other messaging applications are expected to follow suit. This is still an emerging field, so expect predictions to change as we move through 2017 – but it’s looking likely that bots could soon become a staple part of marketing strategies.
6 . It’s all about the experience
As customer service comes into play more often via social media channels, companies will increasingly try to produce content that creates positive experiences for their customers rather than purely focusing on selling things. If you’re selling ice cream via Facebook Live videos where you interact with your fans and make them feel part of the company, for example, you’re much more likely to tempt them into buying your goods.
5 . Every business will be a tech business
Some companies will fall flat on their faces in 2017 thanks to this emerging trend – but if they get it right it could prove to be very lucrative. The rise of ‘fintech’ (financial technology) shows that even traditional industries can benefit from incorporating some digital services and products – particularly with the likes of mobile payment systems like Apple Pay becoming ubiquitous.
4 . Voice search will become more important
Whether this is through devices like Amazon Echo or smart home speakers, voice-based searches are set to grow in popularity as people look for smarter ways to get through their days. Look out for searches where the user’s intent is to speak to a virtual assistant.
3 . Analytics will become even more important
As companies get savvier with their marketing strategies, they’ll place greater emphasis on using data to improve results and provide detailed reports on customer behaviour. This could even result in some businesses increasing their budgets for analytics tools as they try to harness the power of big data.
2 . Ads are becoming less intrusive online
The rise of adblocking software has forced advertisers to rethink how they reach customers – resulting in an increased focus on ‘native advertising’. This means ads that fit seamlessly into your social media or email feeds, so users don’t feel like they’re being constantly interrupted by popups and banners.
1 . Digital is now mainstream
Perhaps the biggest trend is that digital marketing strategies are no longer perceived as a new phenomenon. They’re not seen as some special tactic that savvy companies use to target younger demographics – they’re increasingly being used by everyone, with more businesses realising that they can’t afford to be left behind.

Interview with No-Malice (formerly of the rap group Clipse) at Cinemark Mall St. Mathews in Louisville, KY, February 16, 2016. Videographer Remone Wilkerson of B-Nu Films.
On Tuesday, February 16, 2016, platinum selling Virginia rapper “No Malice” premiered his new film, The End of Malice, at Cinemark Mall St. Mathews in Louisville, KY. The 7:30 p.m. – 8:45 p.m. screening featured a meet-and-greet with the rapper as well as a Q&A discussion following the viewing of the film.
The film screening was a collaboration between Second Films and Louisville’s St. Stephen Church. The youth group of St. Stephen Church, headed by Langston Gaither would also host the event alongside “No Malice”.
No-Malice was once half of the super rap group “Clipse” and is known for his drug dealing inspired raps – but the famed lyricist has walked away from secular hip-hop and now only records music with positive themes.Watch Full Movie Online Streaming Online and Download
43 year-old Gene Elliott Thornton Jr. aka “Malice” and his brother, 38 year-old Terrance Thornton aka “Pusha-T”, exploded on the rap scene in 2002, with their smash hits “Grindin” and “When Was The Last Time”. These singles helped push their debut album, Lord Willin’, to platinum status.
The album featured production from their childhood friends the Neptunes (Pharrell Williams & Chad Hugo) and laid the foundation for a catalog that many hip-hop connoisseurs consider to be legendary.
Based on the elaborate tales of drug dealing throughout their music – the group is credited with ushering in a sub-genre of hip-hop, labeled “coke-rap”.
“No Malice” was originally born in the Bronx but his family relocated to Virginia Beach, VA while he was still a youth. It wasn’t long before he found himself caught up in the fast life of hustling and selling drugs.
In 1994, the Thornton brothers formed the rap group “Clipse” and with the help of Pharrell Williams – were signed to Elektra Records in 1996.
Coming from the gritty streets of Virginia Beach, their music heavily focused on the drug trade, fast cars and fast women.
The duo released the album Exclusive Audio Footage in 1996, which would create a huge local buzz but didn’t gain the national attention anticipated. Clipse was released from its Elektra recording contract shortly after the album’s debut.
Never possessing the characters of quitters, the brothers continued creating music and eventually honed their skills. In 2001, Pharrell Williams signed the Clipse to Arista Records via his Star Trak Entertainment record label and from that point, there was no turning back.
The Clipse would release the platinum selling album Lord Willing in 2002, the popular mixtape series The Re-up Gang:We Got It 4 Cheap (2004-2008), and the gold selling album Hell Hath No Fury in 2006. The brothers would later release an official self-entitled Re-Up Gang album in 2008, and the final Clipse album in 2009.
Although their mainstream success was fairly limited – Clipse gained a cult-like following of core fans that specifically patronized underground hip-hop.
Their intricate wordplay, masterful gift of storytelling and extensive knowledge of the streetlife – placed them in the category of “lyricists” rather than just rappers.
Based on the heavy drug dealing content in their music, many hip-hop fans assumed that the rap group had ties to major drug trafficking organizations.
In 2009, those assumptions were confirmed when the ex-manager of the Clipse, Anthony “Geezy” Gonzalez, was charged with leading a $10 Million drug organization.
Although records show that Clipse hadn’t been managed by Gonzalez since 2006, rumors circulated that Malice and Pusha-T would soon be federally indicted.
Fortunately, when the smoke cleared, the brothers were never implicated in the vast drug trafficking conspiracy. Gonzalez, however, was sentenced to 32 years in federal prison in 2010, and that moment would change the life of Malice forever.
In 2010, the brothers announced that they were working on solo projects but in 2011, Malice shocked the hip-hop world when he released the book Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind & Naked.
The book is essentially a memoir of his life and revealed the fact that he had become a Christian back in 2008. He changed his name from “Malice” to “No-Malice” and confessed that he mentally struggled with committing right and wrong acts throughout his entire life.
He proudly proclaimed to have finally surrendered his life over to Christ, allowing God to assist with fighting his daily temptations.
“The desire to change… When I had done all the checks and balances and just took inventory of my own life, I had already come to that conclusion and then when that happened [Anthony Gonzalez being arrested], I really looked at it as a personal, spiritual attack… Like so now everybody thinks this is why I’m changing my life around, when really that was just something added to what I was already thinking.” – No Malice
Many have questioned whether there will be a Clipse reunion in the future but No-Malice emphatically dismisses the possibility. He insists that he will never make music again that advocates harming another individual.
However, No-Malice does have plans on releasing new music for his devoted fans and assures the hip-hop community that it will be something very reminiscent of his previous work, just without the negative connotations.
He has also produced a film entitled “The End of Malice”. The 40 minute documentary featuring No Malice, Pusha-T, and Pharrell Williams details his upbringing, the rise of the rap group “Clipse”, and his conversion to Christianity.
“The film is the ‘End of Malice’ and it basically chronicles my life in the industry, family life, a lot of personal scenarios and my transition to where I am now.” – No Malice
No-Malice is currently on a 16 city tour in which he hosts screenings for the film at local movie theatres. No-Malice views the film with the audience and holds a Q&A discussion session with movie-goers after the viewing.
Concluding the film screening tour, “The End of Malice” will air on Revolt TV on Sunday March 27, 2016.

She discovered Rieli was ill when she was pregnant with Lexia, who turns one today (Friday)
Jade said: "I was heartbroken when Rieli was diagnosed with leukaemia.
"I allowed myself to cry just the once and then put on a brave face for Rieli.
"As I’d just found out I was pregnant, it was a difficult time all round.
"Rieli has been incredibly brave through the toughest of times and we are very proud of him."

This is an account of a life playing Pokemon from my friend David Rashwan, AKA Debido-san, AKA Ebb Flowe. If you’d like to see some of his artwork please check out his excellent tumblr http://ebbflowe.tumblr.com/
When Pokemon came out in the US in 1998 (about 9 years old and in 3rd grade), I had seen the commercials and the phrase “Gotta Catch ‘Em All!” was so darn catchy. But at that point I didn’t own any sort of Gameboy at all. My first contact with the actual game was on the way back from the airport with my mom, we were sitting next to a mom and her son, playing his own Gameboy on the bus. I peeked over and saw two monsters on the screen, and I just had to put it together and ask “Is that Pokemon?” And he responded “yeah”.
The next time I saw Pokemon was at my best friend’s house. He and his little brother were both playing their own copies, meanwhile I couldn’t join the fun. This had to be rectified! So after some begging, my mom took me to a department store with the intention of getting a Blue Gameboy Pocket and Pokemon Blue. They had the Gameboy, but they were completely sold out of Pokemon, so I had to settle for Donkey Kong Country 2 as my first Gameboy game.
Maybe a week or two later, we went to another department store. They had Pokemon, but only Red version. I couldn’t wait any longer!!!! So I said to hell with waiting on Blue, I’ll take this Red right here, right now! For some reason I like to believe some things are fate, so from that day forward, since I was forced to get Red despite wanting Blue, I’ve gone “Red version” ever since. The one exception being that I got Silver instead of Gold (forgive my lack of understanding on color theory at that point). I eventually did get a Blue version, which I used to mess around with hacking after trading myself all of the starter pokemon. (I had a team of 5 Mews and a Dugtrio…wtf?)
I absolutely played the hell out of that game. Playing through a Pokemon game now, I can’t even fathom how it took me what felt like forever to play through that game, even playing as ceaselessly as I was. I remember playing hours a day, saving the game, and looking forward to waking up because every day was a new adventure. I clocked in at least 120 hours on the game, and caught all 151 Pokemon legitimately. I was lucky enough to be traded a Mew on a class field trip, and on that same trip I finally caught a Tauros to complete my Pokedex (the Safari Zone wasn’t exactly easy back then!).
I was late to the party on R/B versions, so I wouldn’t let that happen again. I was the first kid in my school to get Pokemon Yellow, and I got both Gold and Silver on release day. Generation 2 was for me, like many people, a real Golden Age of Pokemon. The progression from the previous gen was incredible! And the day/night cycle…at this point I got a mini flashlight so I could catch those night only Pokemon in the wee hours of the night. Unfortunately, I’ve never again completely filled a Pokedex.
After playing a ton of gens 1 and 2, Ruby and Sapphire came out, and for some reason I was pretty dismissive of them at first. I was strangely in no hurry to jump on board. Eventually I did though, and I had an absolute blast. I’m really excited for Omega Ruby, because in my opinion Hoenn was the most fun region to explore. It had so much environmental diversity, and the colors on the Gameboy Advance captured the world beautifully like never before. At this point, I started to experiment with NetBattle, and I finally learned about the intricacies of true competitive battling, though I never actually got into it.
Playing Ruby, Emerald, and Fire Red rekindled my passion for Pokemon, so once again I was on board to get Pearl on release day. If Hoenn was my favorite region to explore, Gen 4 had my favorite features: The poketch was awesome in my opinion, and I wish they could bring something like it back. I also had a ton of fun with this generation, but I skipped on Platinum for a while.
In Generation 5, I went with White version. It was a fun game to some extent, but this marks the first time that I did not obsessively complete a Pokemon game upon picking it up. For some reason, Unova just didn’t grip me. Which is sad actually, because prior to X/Y coming out, I played through “Volt White 2″ (a rom hack which allows you to catch all of the existing Pokemon in the series in the wild or through events). And I found the story to be pretty fun, actually. I have to say that the Elite 4 in B/W had such an epic presentation, I really felt like I was taking on the best of the best.
Then comes Y, which I bought a 3DS XL for just a few weeks before release. The game was a lot of fun, and even though I’ve played every previous generation, the game felt completely revitalized. Kalos was a beautiful region to travel through, and the new Pokemon were a mixed bag of some awesome and some just weird redesigns of already existing monsters, but I liked it nonetheless. As great of a game as it is, my primary criticism is that the post game is nearly non existent; once I beat the game, there was almost no incentive for me to play it anymore.
That said, I’m greatly looking forward to grabbing Omega Ruby. I really can’t wait to see Hoenn brought to new life.

In the Middle Ages, a settlement was founded at the location of the current city by the Van der Goude family, who built a fortified castle alongside the banks of the Gouwe River, from which the family and the city took its name. The area, originally marshland, developed over the course of two centuries. By 1225, a canal was linked to the Gouwe and its estuary was transformed into a harbour. City rights were granted in 1272.
Around the year 1100, the area where Gouda now is located was swampy and covered with a peat forest, crossed by small creeks such as the Gouwe. Along the shores of this stream near the current market and city hall, peat harvesting began in the 11th and 12th centuries. In 1139, the name Gouda is first mentioned in a statement from the Bishop of Utrecht.
In the 13th century, the Gouwe was connected to the Oude Rijn (Old Rhine) by means of a canal and its mouth at the Hollandse IJssel was developed into a harbour. Castle Gouda was built to protect this harbour. This shipping route was used for trade between Flanders and France with Holland and the Baltic Sea. In 1272, Floris V, Count of Holland, granted city rights to Gouda, which by then had become an important location. City-canals or grachten were dug and served as transport ways through the town.
Great fires in 1361 and 1438 destroyed the city. In 1572, the city was occupied by Les Gueux (Dutch rebels against the Spanish King) who also committed arson and destruction. In 1577 the demolition of Castle Gouda began.
In 1551 was founded the oldest still functioning inn De Zalm, located on Markt 34, near the historic Waag building.
In 1574, 1625, 1636, and 1673, Gouda suffered from deadly plague epidemics, of which the last one was the most severe: 2995 persons died, constituting 20% of its population.
In the last quarter of the 16th century, Gouda had serious economic problems. It recovered in the first half of the 17th century and even prospered between 1665 and 1672. But its economy collapsed again when war broke out in 1672 and the plague decimated the city in 1673, even affecting the pipe industry. After 1700, Gouda enjoyed a period of progress and prosperity until 1730. Then another recession followed, resulting in a long period of decline that lasted well into the 19th century. Gouda was one of the poorest cities in the country during that period: the terms "Goudaner" and "beggar" were considered synonymous.
Starting in 1830, demolition of the city walls began. The last city gate was torn down in 1854. Only from the second half of the 19th century onward did Gouda start to profit from an improved economic condition. New companies, such as Stearine Kaarsenfabriek (Stearine Candle Factory) and Machinale Garenspinnerij (Mechanized Yarn Spinnery), acted as the impetus to its economy. In 1855, the railway Gouda-Utrecht began to operate. In the beginning of the 20th century, large-scale development began, extending the city beyond its moats. First the new neighbourhoods Korte Akkeren, Kort Haarlem and Kadebuurt were built, followed by Oosterwei, Bloemendaal, Goverwelle and Westergouwe after World War II.
From 1940 on, back-filling of the city moats and city-canals, the grachten, began: the Nieuwe Haven, Raam, Naaierstraat, and Achter de Vismarkt. But because of protests from city dwellers and revised policies of city planners, Gouda did not continue back-filling moats and city-canals, now considered historically valuable. In 1944, the railway station was damaged during an Allied bombardment, killing 8 and wounding 10 persons. This bombardment was intended to destroy the railroad connecting The Hague and Rotterdam to Utrecht.
After the war, the city started to expand and nearly tripled in size. New neighbourhoods, such as Gouda-Oost, Bloemendaal and Goverwelle were built. Over the last years there has been a shift from expanding the city towards urban renewal and gentrification.
Gouda is world-famous for its Gouda cheese, which is still traded on its cheese market, held each Thursday. Gouda is also known for the fabrication of candles, smoking pipes, and stroopwafels. Gouda used to have a considerable linen industry and a number of beer breweries.
The world-famous Gouda cheese is not made in the city itself but in the surrounding region. It derives its name from being traded in Gouda where the city council imposes stringent quality controls.
The economy of the city centre is based on tourism, leisure and retail, while offices are located at the outskirts of the city. Currently, there are over 32,000 jobs in the city, mainly in commercial and healthcare services.
Gouda is served by two railway stations: Gouda, and Gouda Goverwelle. The main railway station is served by Intercity services to The Hague, Rotterdam, and Utrecht and local trains to Amsterdam and Alphen aan den Rijn/Leiden.
The city also lies alongside the A12 and A20 motorways.

"Es ist Zeit, die Matratze niederzulegen"
Naomi Schaeffer Riley kommentiert das neuste Debakel in der feministischen Propgandaschlacht um eine sogenannte "Rape Culture" in der New York Post. Ein Auszug:
Whatever else you can say about social media these days, it has made it awfully hard for women to change their minds about the nature of a sexual encounter from months earlier.
(...) But, really, the problem is this: It’s considered offensive to even ask a single question of a woman who says she has been sexually assaulted. Because rape is not a crime like armed robbery or murder anymore. Rape is a political statement by the patriarchy trying to silence women. It doesn’t matter what actually happened. What matters is what you think happened after you’ve taken enough women’s-studies courses.
That’s why Lena Dunham got away with publishing a book accusing an easily identifiable student on campus of rape without any fact checkers or lawyers flagging the passage. It’s why no one at Rolling Stone demanded the reporter verify the accuser’s story. And it’s why the word of a girl with a mattress strapped to her back is treated like the Holy Bible.
Feminists complain that by putting assault victims through this barrage of questions we are shaming them. As Sulkowicz told the news site Mic: "It’s an awful feeling where this reporter is digging through my personal life. At this point, I didn’t realize that she’s extremely anti-feminist and would do this in order to shame me."
But shame is exactly what these accusers are hoping to bring on their alleged attackers. By refusing to report these matters to the police instead of the campus Keystone Kops and The New York Times, they are supposedly saving themselves from the pain of a trial, but really what they are doing is saving themselves from having to answer any questions and destroying men’s lives with lies and innuendo.

The use of disposable lunch boxes should be clearly understood
Posted by Admin
Lunch, for most white-collar workers, is nothing more than eating boxed lunch, ordering takeout, eating together at restaurants, and bringing convenience. These methods inevitably have to deal with lunch boxes. Recently, disposable lunch boxes and microwave lunch boxes have encountered quality and safety results, which has caused many white-collar workers to feel fear. In fact, facing the disposable lunch box of the day and night, we are worried, it is better to learn the correct choice and use of disposable lunch boxes.
Disposable lunch box application
Generally speaking, the stores that charge extra packing fees are usually made of ring-plastic lunch boxes; those that do not charge are usually white foam lunch boxes; the fast food bought in supermarkets are usually plastic lunch boxes. The white-collar takeaway family does not have much choice for lunch boxes. Basically only choose what to eat instead of what lunch box to use. When the box lunch is delivered, it will not be rejected because of the lunch box.
Use clarification to see clearly
Although the report also pointed out that the plasticizer content of the seven samples is lower than the European norms, but for white-collar workers with meals, it is still unavoidable to worry.
Experts from the Food Packaging Association said that most of the polypropylene used in microwave oven plastic lunch boxes has good heat resistance. It stops disinfection and sterilization above 100°C, and does not change shape at 150°C under the condition of no external force. Ordinary heating with a microwave oven for a short time will not precipitate excessive plasticizer. However, if the temperature exceeds the heat resistance limit, the plasticizer can also be released, and the temporary low temperature heating of the plastic lunch box should be prevented.
When purchasing a disposable lunch box, pay attention to whether the disposable lunch box can have the QS mark and number, whether the disposable lunch box can have material descriptions and use precautions, and whether it can be marked with the words microwaveable. It is better to choose a ring plastic lunch box.
It is better to prevent the use of disposable lunch boxes to heat foods with a small amount of fat and high sugar content. Because the boiling point of oil easily exceeds the heat resistance limit of plastics, and oil, sugar and plasticizers are all inorganic substances, they are similarly compatible.

Network cabling is the infrastructure that allows people and businesses to communicate. Cabling determines how well a network will function, and there are multiple standards of cables with different properties. This makes it extremely important to make sure that you have the right network cabling for your specific needs.
When it comes to network cabling for your business, make sure you hire professionals that know which cables should be used and how they need to be installed. Work with the team at netRelevance and learn more about our network cabling services!
Why You Need Network Cabling
There are a few reasons why you need network cabling in your business. The first reason is that it provides a backbone for your data and voice traffic. Without properly installed and functioning network cabling, your employees will not be able to do their jobs effectively. Network cabling is also necessary for security purposes. For example, if someone wanted to hack into your network, they would need to have physical access to your network cabling. By having a well-secured and properly installed network cabling infrastructure, you can help protect your business from cyber-attacks.
Server Room Relocation
When it comes to relocating your server room, you need to make sure that your network cabling is properly installed and ready to go. While low-voltage cabling is low voltage, it still needs to be handled with care and attention to detail. At netRelevance, we have been installing network cabling for years and are experts in our field. We can help you plan out your new server room and make sure that all of your low-voltage cabling is installed properly and efficiently.
Cabling for Your New Construction
If you are building a new office space or commercial building, it's important to make sure that low-voltage cabling is installed in your construction plans. This can be a complex process and should be handled by professionals. netRelevance can help relocate your server room and install the necessary network cabling infrastructure.
Grounding and Supporting Hardware
In order to properly ground your low-voltage system, you will need to use grounding hardware. This hardware includes a ground rod, clamps, and wire. The ground rod should be installed near the electrical service panel, and the clamps and wire should be used to connect the ground rod to the low voltage equipment.
You also want to make sure that you have the proper hardware to support your network's needs. For example, a cat6 cable is a higher-quality cable that can support speeds up to 1 gigabits. This higher bandwidth is necessary for businesses that use high-bandwidth applications like video streaming and video conferencing.
Make sure you are using the right cables and hardware for your network in order to achieve the best performance.
Network “Refresh” Cleanup
One of the benefits of low-voltage cabling is that it can be used to clean up an existing network. If you have a lot of cables running through your office, low-voltage cabling can be used to organize them and make them more manageable. This will make it easier to add or remove devices from the network, and will make it easier to troubleshoot network problems.
At netRelevance, we provide multi-site, cabinet clean-up or replacement with minimal disruption to your business.
Document existing network and cabling.
Remove and replace network equipment, existing cabling and peripherals, and cabinets or racks.
Existing rack or cabinet cleanup with proper cable support and cable management.
For whatever cleanup needs you have for your network cabling, make sure you contact the experts at netRelevance.
Benefits of Network Cabling Support
Not sure if you need network cabling support? Having the right network cabling in place can provide a lot of benefits for your business, including:
Increased network speed and performance
More resistant to interference than other types of cabling
Higher bandwidth capacity
Lower cable weight, which makes it easier to install in tight spaces
Work with experts in the field and get the most out of your existing network.
Work With netRelevance Today!
If you are in need of any network cabling services, please contact netRelevance today. We would be happy to help you get your network up and running!


(FOX 11) - Southern California residents are paying more for gas than any other state in the nation including Hawaii.
The recent sharp increases are the result of a series of refinery issues that have reduced supply, according to Jeffrey Spring, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager.
"Refineries in Wilmington and Carson reported unplanned flaring as a result of breakdowns last weekend, according to Oil Price Information Service," Spring said.
"OPIS also reports that operations have not yet recovered for Phillips 66 after the March 16 fire at the company's Carson refinery.
Some Northern California and Pacific Northwest refineries are dealing with planned and unplanned maintenance also, making for a tight gasoline supply throughout the West Coast."
The average price has risen 28 consecutive days, increasing 50.7 cents, according to figures from the AAA and OPIS. It is 18.9 cents more than one week ago, 51.4 cents higher than one month ago and 28.8 cents greater than one year ago.
The Orange County average price rose 3.9 cents to $3.831, its highest amount since Oct. 15. It has risen 20 consecutive days, increasing 50.9 cents. It is 19.7 cents more than one week ago, 52.6 cents higher than one month ago and 29.1 cents greater than one year ago.

Task Force on Improving
National Environmental Policy Act Created
Pombo taps Rep. Cathy
McMorris to lead
Washington, DC - Today House
Resources Committee Chairman Richard Pombo
(R-CA) announced the formation of a Task Force
on Improving the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA). Rep. Cathy McMorris (R-WA) is
leading the Task Force which will travel around
the country to hold meetings on the current
state of the environmental law.
"It is the official responsibility of the
Resources Committee to conduct oversight
operations on the nation's environmental laws,"
said Chairman Pombo. "As Chairwoman of this Task
Force, Cathy McMorris will undertake the first
serious effort to analyze the implementation of
NEPA in 35 years on behalf of the committee."
NEPA was signed into law in 1970 and has never
been thoroughly reviewed by any Congressional
body. The Task Force will travel the country to
hear from the people who deal with NEPA on a
day-to-day basis to determine whether the
original intent of NEPA is being fulfilled.
"It's a real honor to chair this Task Force and
I thank Chairman Pombo for this important
appointment," said Chairwoman Cathy
McMorris. "The NEPA process has a
dramatic impact on our economic growth,
transportation system, and the resource based
economy of the Pacific Northwest. Through this
Task Force we will listen to all input on how
this law is working to ensure the best outcomes
for both the environment and our economy."
"Our ultimate goal is to improve our
environmental laws. We need to ensure we protect
our environment and assure clean water and clean
air in an expeditious manner," said Rep.
Jim Gibbons (R-NV). "Too often NEPA
results in litigation that can last decades.
This Task Force will simply go out to the
communities around the country affected by NEPA
to see how well it is working and what
improvements may be needed to meet our nation's
goals of protecting the environment in the 21st
"Communities, habitats and species throughout
the country are impacted by NEPA and, as
lawmakers, we have a responsibility to ensure
that its purpose and intent are being met," said
Congressman Greg Walden (R-OR).
"Like any major policy put in place decades ago,
it is time to examine this 35-year-old law and
find ways in which we can improve its efficacy
and efficiency. I look forward to working with
colleagues from both sides of the aisle to
accomplish this goal."
"As our technology improves, so does our ability
to interact with the environment in a
responsible and safe way. My goal is to ensure
that NEPA is a participant in that process and
not a hindrance," said Rep. Devin Nunes
(R-CA), Chairman of the Resources
Subcommittee on National Parks.
"No one will dispute that the intent of NEPA is
noble and has successfully protected acre upon
acre of precious land from intrusion and
destruction," said Rep. Thelma Drake
(R-VA). "However, it's important that
we revisit NEPA to ensure that it is still as
effective today as it was 35 years ago when it
first passed. NEPA must be understood in the
context of today's national security realities.
And as a Task Force, we must do what we can to
keep NEPA from tying up our courts and our
economy while still protecting our natural
"I welcome the opportunity to work with the
Congresswoman from Washington and my other
colleagues on this issue," said
Congressman Henry Brown (R-SC).
"Because of South Carolina's unique
transportation needs and the considerable time
spent in addressing environmental concerns
associated with such projects, we definitely
should be considering some reform."

At around 5:49 AM ET on Tuesday, a major Content Delivery Network (CDN) provider Fastly went down, taking along a large number of notable websites and applications along with it. The problem lasted for about an hour, as traffic started picking up around 6:39 AM ET.
So, what exactly are CDNs? Well, CDNs are service providers that optimize the delivery of web and other digital content to users all across the globe. The main purpose of placing a CDN between a website or application is to reduce the load times.
Over the past few months, CDNs have experienced massive uptick in demand, as the user base of websites, apps and other digital content over the internet grew. CDNs reduce the load time by maintaining cached versions of web pages and other content over the web.
Some of the most notable names being served by Fastly, which were affected include the CNN, The Guardian, The New York Times and a few other news providers. The notable apps affected by the issue included Twitch, Pinterest, HBO Max, Hulu, Reddit and few others.
According to Fastly, the problem was restored around 7 AM ET. Due to the trickle down effect though, some users still experienced longer load times even after the above time. However, Fastly says that the problem has been fully resolved.
The issue was caused by a service configuration, which ultimately triggered a major disruption across the company’s servers. This faulty configuration was part of a software update, which went bad and caused the whole mayhem.
A similar issue was caused as a result of software updates at even larger online platforms like Google and Amazon, causing a part of their services to go offline as well. CDNs also reduce load times by serving users with the physically closest servers on their network.

Moth assessment 'shouldn't hold up housing'
The company behind a housing development in Canberra's north says it does not expect a Commonwealth assessment of a golden sun moth habitat will hold up the project.
Around 160 blocks have already been sold in the West Macgregor development which will include more than 400 homes.
The ACT Government has given its approval for the estate but the developers still need environmental approval from the Commonwealth.
Bob Winnel from the Village Building Company says a report from the environmental scientist was received yesterday.
He expects the issue to be resolved in a couple of weeks.
"That report raises no questions at all over the suitability of the site for residential development," he said.
"We are proposing some work in adjacent land which does contain the habitats and that adjacent land would also be subject to some improvement to the native grass lands to improve the habitat for the golden sun moth."


Keith Cooper, city of Elkhart reach record wrongful conviction settlement of $7.5 million
The city of Elkhart has agreed to settle a wrongful conviction lawsuit for $7.5 million dollars — the state’s largest wrongful conviction settlement so far.
Keith Cooper served more than seven years in prison for a 1996 armed robbery and attempted murder that he didn’t commit.
Cooper’s civil suit claims investigators fabricated testimony, manipulated witness lineups and disregarded DNA evidence that proved his innocence.
“Mr. Cooper’s wrongful conviction did not happen by accident nor was it an aberration,” Cooper’s attorney, Elliot Slosar, said in a release. “Through this case, he has paved the way for other wrongfully convicted people from Elkhart to get a fair chance at justice.”
DNA testing in 2002 connected the robbery and attempted murder to a serial offender in Michigan who was already serving time for a separate murder.
In 2017, Cooper became the first person in Indiana to win a governor’s pardon based on actual innocence. And now, he’ll receive $7.5 million from the city of Elkhart, or about $1.1 million for each year of wrongful incarceration.
“On behalf of the entire City of Elkhart to Mr. Cooper and his family, we regret the suffering you have experienced,” a statement released by the city reads. “We are hopeful that this settlement will bring Mr. Cooper closure and peace to move forward with his life.
At a press conference in Chicago Wednesday, Cooper said the money won’t replace the years he spent in prison. But it could be used to help others who are wrongfully incarcerated.
“It helps me to build a better tomorrow with my family, and for that I am grateful,” he said. “And for all those other Keith Coopers out there — keep your hopes and faith, because we’re here to help.”
Cooper’s attorneys urged city leaders to join their call for a special prosecutor to review all cases handled by the investigators in Cooper’s conviction, including former Detective Steve Rezutko and former Police Chief Ed Windbigler.
Rezutko resigned from the Elkhart Police Department after investigations into allegations that he paid informants for sexual acts. However, he was still allowed to testify in criminal cases.
“Chicago is sometimes called the ‘wrongful conviction capital of the world,’ and there are a lot of wrongful convictions here. Elkhart gives it a run for its money,” attorney John Lovey said at the press conference Wednesday. “It really is a cluster of misconduct.”
When the circumstances of Rezutko’s resignation were disclosed, Cooper’s attorneys filed a motion for sanctions. Rezutko died by suicide the day before the response deadline.
Cooper’s is not the only high-profile wrongful conviction suit in Elkhart County. Andrew Royer was exonerated last year, and recently filed a lawsuit against the Elkhart County Prosecutor and Elkhart Police Department.

Here's where supercomputers get serious. The first seven entries on the list were fast, but not fast enough for top-three ranking. IBM's new Mira, which becomes fully operational in 2013, peaks at a performance of 8 petaflops. That's more than twice as fast at the SuperMUC in Germany.
Mira runs on 768,000 processor cores. It's located at the Argonne National Laboratory, a research laboratory run for the United States Department of Energy. It uses IBM's BlueGene/Q platform and replaces an older IBM system, Intrepid, which ranked fourth on the list in 2008.
Researchers who submit proposals for the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment program will be able to claim processor time on Mira. Sixty percent of the computer's capacity will go to their research, while 30 percent will go towards the Advanced Science Computing Research Leadership Computing Challenge. The final 10 percent will be reserved for urgent, time-sensitive computations [source: Information Week].

- The Geologist skill at Level 2 will allow you to gather one extra time from Account Item nodes, making it incredibly valuable on gathering runs.

I like to be perfectly free – more than that: perfectly lawless… When I am ill-natured I so enjoy the freedom of a hotel (..) I go to bed calmed & soothed & sleep as peacefully as a child.
Art opens up horizons and enriches the spirit. It can inspire, but also confront, provoke and in the ideal case, sharpen the wits. It can be found throughout the AMERON Frankfurt Neckarvillen Boutique. It contributes to the hotel’s identity, and is more than just a volatile, decorative element.
The art concept curated by Celena Ohmer has been individually tailored to the hotel and its location. It enriches the guest rooms with works by Tobias Rehberger and also adorns areas specially created for art. Artists Benedikte Bjerre and Roland Burkart have created two location-specific mirror installations for the AMERON Frankfurt Neckarvillen Boutique – the so-called Artist’s Room “Eternity Now” and the Artist’s Bridge “Grid Map”.
These two artists use their works to question our concept of how we can experience space with our senses. The AMERON Frankfurt Neckarvillen Boutique, in the very heart of the city, forms an urban microcosm which differs from the domestic environment and normal world of the guests. Bjerre and Burkart regard the location as a “testing ground” and approach the question of what intimate, personal experiences a transitory venue like a hotel can generate.
Particularly in the digital age, self-portrayal on social media platforms such as Instagram take the search for self-assurance to an absurd level. With their works, the two artists undermine the typical mechanisms of self-improvement in their very approach and instead enable observers to develop new ways of looking at things.
Artist Benedikte Bjerre has created an installation entitled “Eternity Now” in the Artist’s Room. She brings the dimensions of space and time, which oddly appeared to be compressed in a hotel, to consciousness in an unusal way. The walls and ceiling are completely covered with ruby red mirrors to create a multiplication of everything that happens in the room – light, shadow, movement, stillness and temporality.
Time and the way in which it trickles away ceaselessly are symbolized in the form of an owl – the prepared animal hangs upside down in the window to guard the room, turning its head every hour on the hour.
The hotel room has no visible past or future, only the present comprising the guest, his movement and the space around him. By selecting the colour for the mirrors, the artist on the one hand refers to the Ruby, a valuable precious stone, and therefore to the history of the building as a former bank. On the other hand it awakens historical art and culture reminiscences. This mainly reminds observers of works by Sylvie Fleury and Jeff Koons, Yayoi Kusama and Rosemarie Trockel or film-maker David Lynch.
The Artist’s Bridge runs between the hotel and restaurant in the AMERON Frankfurt Neckarvillen Boutique. This was realized by Luigi Fragola and floats like a glazed passage between the buildings. Roland Burkart chose this transit zone for his "in situ" work.
The Artist’s Bridge guides the guest through an abstract world which appears to be disconnected from reality.
The mirror-glazed surface of the interior is clad with a grid system, consisting of black dots. This is based on virtual, hexagonal coordinate systems which the human brain generates to guide itself in space. Fragolas work makes the space appear to be a projection of the brain.
The recipient, his environment and the grid system of the mirror installation are reflected back and merge into each other. A walk through the passage, which is illuminated in changing colours, is designed to sensitize the guests to their environment and perception.

Cochrane for Clinicians
Putting Evidence into Practice
When to Discontinue Antiepileptic Drug Therapy for Patients in Remission
Am Fam Physician. 2016 Jun 1;93(11):914-915.
Author disclosure: No relevant financial affiliations.
In patients with a history of epilepsy, how long must one be seizure-free before stopping antiepileptic drug therapy?
Children with epilepsy should be seizure-free for at least two years before stopping antiepileptic drug therapy, especially those who have partial seizures or a history of abnormal electroencephalography (EEG) results. Evidence is insufficient to guide this decision for children with generalized seizures, and there is no evidence with which to answer this question for adults. (Strength of Recommendation: B, based on inconsistent or limited-quality patient-oriented evidence.)
Patients sometimes present to their family physician requesting discontinuation of their seizure medication, yet doing so prematurely can be harmful. A detailed history is important to establish whether seizures were focal (partial) or generalized (involving bilateral hemispheres of the brain), and whether consciousness was impaired. Attempts should be made to retrieve EEG or imaging study results. Furthermore, some patients may have had nonepileptic (psychogenic) seizures or seizures provoked by a resolved stimulus (e.g., fever, alcohol or drug withdrawal).1

Application of Nanotechnology in Wood Preservation
M Akhtari, M Arefkhani
Nanotechnology can enable the development of a wide range of new or enhanced wood-based materials and products that offer cost-effective substitutes for nonrenewable . Wood and other lignocelluloses are heterogeneous natural polymer composites with large variations in physical and chemical properties. These natural materials are composed of cellulose, lignin, and hemicelluloses. The potential use of nanotechnology for wood science is to modify the properties of wood and wood-based products. Nanotechnology has the potential to affect the field of wood preservation through the creation of new and unique metal biocides with improved properties, treatability of wood species, Water repellent, Environmentally friendly, Overall appearance ,Easy to clean/self cleaning properties ,Weather protection , Chemical resistant ,UV-Stable, Anti bacterial paints , Permanent anti fungal properties. With the help of nanotechnology and nanotechnological products, it is possible to increase the efficiency of the use of raw materials and energy over the life cycle of a product and thus reduce the emission of pollutants as well as energy consumption.
Keywords: nanotechnology, wood preservation, nanoparticle, nanotubule and nanobiocide

Hi everyone! I’m so sorry I am getting this posted a little late, I have been extremely busy this past week with my local and online BOGO sale. Thank you al for your patience. Here is the youtube recap of my facebook live video and pictures of the completed projects.
I hope you can join me tonight at 7 PM EST for my facebook live where I will be featuring some additional great products.
In this episode my two featured projects included an adorable chapstick holder and a decorated jam jar, the jars can be purchased online. I have included the list of supplies below for you to be able to order all these great projects.
Here are the measurements for the chapstick holder:
Cardstock 5 3/4 x 3 1/2, DSP 5 7/8 x 3 1/2
Score the cardstock on the long side at 2 1/2 and 3 1/4., score the dsp on the long side just a hair over the 2 1/2 inch park and again at a hair over the 3 1/4 inch mark
Line up the cardstock at the 1 1/4 inch mark and cut up to make a skit, move the cardstock down to the 2 1/4 inch and make another slit. The video will demonstrate this step if you need a visual. This allows for the chapstick to slide into the holder.
Here are the measurements for the jam jar:
cut your DSP at 1 3/4 x 8, use a bone folder to make this piece into a circular shape, adhere tear and tape and wrap around the jar. Cut the scalloped circle with the largest die from the layering circles.
Here are pictures of the projects that I created:
I have made it very easy for you to order these great projects, simply click below and place your order! Thanks for stopping today!


The slow summer months offer a chance to recall a few shorter, odder news items that may have been overlooked during the recent season. Notes and jottings, as it were, from a reporter's notebook. Not all of them are necessarily true.
Music professionals up and down 57th Street are once again excitedly touting a new child prodigy who has landed engagements with major orchestras and a big-label recording contract. But Sarah Qin, a 13-year-old recently signed by EMG Classical, stands out from the crowd of young stars. Ms. Qin is a virtuoso not of the violin, nor of the piano or cello, but of the oboe.
Historically, the oboe has produced relatively few international virtuosos, not to mention prodigies. But the marketing department at EMG anticipates a bright future for its teen-age oboe sensation. Ms. Qin has already recorded the most obvious repertory for her instrument, the Strauss Concerto. She has also interpreted the Mendelssohn and Sibelius violin concertos in startling new transcriptions by Luciano Berio.
In the fall, Ms. Qin is to record a crossover album of favorite Beatles tunes, "Oboe-Di, Oboe-Da," as well as an unusual collaboration with the rock band Foo Fighters, entitled "Alternative Grunge Oboe." Ads will blanket magazines with the legend "OBOE: The Journey Begins, Dec. 5." Asked whether the label has cheapened and embarrassed itself with these marketing strategies, a spokesperson for EMG replied, "Huh?" The Society for Progressive Musicology recently held its annual meeting in Chicago, once again inciting controversy on several fronts. Among the 20 academic papers presented at the conference, especially heated discussions flared up around "Homoerotic Elements in the Motets of Ockeghem," "Haydn and Hitler," "Webern's Use of Boogie-Woogie" and "Mahler's 11th Symphony: Suggestions for a Performing Edition Based on Hotel Majestic Dinner Napkins." None equaled the ruckus caused by Prof. Axl Roth, whose monograph "Was Mozart Eight Feet Tall?" enraged Mozart scholars at a tumultuous panel discussion, until someone pointed out that Prof. Roth's answer actually seemed to be "no."
Although some complain that the avant-garde has ossified, connoisseurs found evidence to the contrary at the recent Kaisersaschern New Music Weeks in Germany. The guest of honor was Heinz-Heinrich Dunkel, an emerging leader of the European vanguard. The 38-year-old Mr. Dunkel, who is of medium height, has for some years been a leader of the Wiesbaden avant-garde collective Musik Nein.Continue reading the main story
In a major new work unveiled at Kaisersaschern -- 19 Very Short Songs on Texts of Theodor W. Adorno, for high voice, two bass clarinets, celesta and snare drum -- Mr. Dunkel unexpectedly takes leave of the Spectralist-Minimalist style (otherwise known as the New Monotony) that marked his work from the previous decade. The composer now employs a unique variation on combinatorial Serialism based on interlocking unachords (pitch-class sets containing one note). In an explosive climax, the soprano sings the phrase "absolute de temporalization of temporality" in sensuous coloratura figures.
In stark contrast, "Gefahrdung!" seems to reflect Mr. Dunkel's recent residency at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Samplings of the voice of Alex Trebek, the host of "Jeopardy!," are combined with extensively recomposed quotations from the work of Anton Bruckner and a chance-controlled melange of sounds from an ensemble of seven heckelphones, producing a remorseless soundscape of contemporary terror. Yet the Kaisersaschern audience couldn't help tapping its feet to the bouncy mambo finale.
American opera composers are racing to find trendy, up-to-the-minute libretto subjects. This past season brought premieres of "Jackie O" at the Detroit Lyric Opera and "Mrs. Doubtfire" at the Opera Theater of El Paso. It was only a matter of time before someone decided to address the largest pop-culture story of the last decade, the trial of O. J. Simpson. Dylan McKay, a composer from Los Angeles, has taken the plunge. His working title is "Orenthal."
The libretto will be an unprecedented collaboration between Thomas Pynchon, the reclusive author of "Gravity's Rainbow," and Salman Rushdie, the reclusive author of "The Satanic Verses." Work has progressed slowly, since neither writer has any idea how to reach the other. Nonetheless, Mr. McKay has begun sketching themes for the work's orchestral interludes. "The idiom will be eclectic," he said in a not very recent interview. "Sort of Strauss meets Britten, Philip Glass meets Duke Ellington, John Cage meets John Lennon meets Palestrina, Nine Inch Nails, Orlando Gibbons, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Spohr."
Does the opera take a position on Mr. Simpson's innocence or guilt? "Well, you'd have to ask Tom and Salman," Mr. McKay said. "As I understand it, the audience will vote guilty or not guilty at each performance, and the orchestra will play music appropriate to either outcome. It doesn't matter anyway: O. J. is a figure of tragic, heroic dimensions, like Othello, Iago, Romeo, whoever. He's definitely going to be E flat major, with some C minor in there as well. This is what Wagner would write if he were alive today and if he wasn't fascist, racist et cetera."
Mr. McKay has already written a concert overture based on "Orenthal," suitable for performance on American orchestral programs. It is two minutes long.Continue reading the main story

And t the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!"
And from the throne came a voice saying,
u "Praise our God,
all you his servants,
v you who fear him,
small and great."
English Standard Version (ESV) The Holy Bible, English Standard Version Copyright © 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a division of Good News Publishers.
Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads.
And before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind:
The twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying.
And the four living creatures said, "Amen!" and the elders fell down and worshiped.
You who fear the Lord, praise him! All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord!
Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, who stand by night in the house of the Lord!
Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord, give praise, O servants of the Lord.
The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.

Comparison of Cottonseed Delinting Methods in Evaluating Seed-treatment Fungicides1
- Earl B. Minton and
- J. E. Quisenberry2
Evaluating fungicides used to treat planting seed of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) had traditionally been made with acid-delinted seed and repeated on machinedelinted seed under the assumption that the treatment response may depend upon the delinting method used. Machine and acid-delinted cottonseed from the same seed lot were treated with different fungicides. The seed were planted in replicated field tests at eight locations for 3 years. Stand counts were recorded about 30 days after planting. Our primary concern was to determine the effects of methods of delinting cottonseed so seedling survival, but the effects of seed treatments, locations, and years and their interactions were determined. There were no differences in mean percentages of survived seedlings between acid and machine-delinted cottonseed and there were no significant interactions of deliiting method and any of the other variables except those noted below. Differences in seedling survival among years and locations were not significant, but the first-order interaction between these components was significant, indicating a need to test fungicides each year at as many locations as is feasible. The results should be the same for acid-delinted as for machine-delinted cottonseed. There were stand differences among the seed treatments, but most of these differences were between fungicide-treated seed and the untreated seed. Small differences occurred in percentage of seedling survival among the fungicide seed treatments. Either acid or machine-delinted cottonseed can be usd to evaluate fungicide seed treatments for their effect on plant stands. Acid-delinted seed should be used in these tests since most of the planting seed are acid-delinted.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

I commissioned this quilted "going places" bag (some would call it a purse) from Pat Schneider, a local quilter, gifted with a wonderful sense of color. She is also a superb technician when it comes to quilting and sewing. She really knows what she's doing!
She had a booth at the Lakeside Quilt Show a few weeks ago, where I commissioned this bag. She had samples of possible fabrics already quilted that you could choose from. I fell in love with this blue and rust batik. It was a smallish piece, and she wasn't sure there would be enough fabric to make this bag. Fortunately, she was able to squeeze out all the pieces for me.
Here it is from the back side, with another pocket and piping.
And here's a shot of the inside. I asked her to put in a light-colored lining because I think that makes it easier to see and find your stuff inside the bag. Lots of pockets - and more piping.
I am taking a couple of big trips this summer, and am looking forward to traveling with this beauty!
Thank you, Pat! I am very happy with my new bag!

Conan forges deeper into the desert, and finds trouble waiting for him.
Fresh out of the last story arc that saw the Cimmerian warrior and his traveling companion Natala held prisoner by the Stygian ex-princess Thalis and stalked by the ‘god’ Thog. They barely escaped with their lives too as Conan was almost killed as he battled against the god-thing.
It just doesn’t stop for Conan though, as he’s tossed into the wastes of the desert, and has to face a sandstorm which leads to some potentially deadly new foes. Of course, fans should expect that adventure and swordplay would follow him pretty much wherever he goes, though this issue starts fast and continues at just the same pace.
Writer Fred Van Lente has penned a whole mess of big name books in the past, most recently Archer and Armstrong for Valiant Comics, and seems to have a pretty good grasp on what makes Conan so much fun as a character as he continues his run here. And by that, I mean loads of action and a tinge of the mysterious.
In the case of this new arc, it’s the oasis city that Thalia had told them about last issue, as well as a dangerous situation with some slave traders that they happen across on the way. There’s really nothing supernatural about the storyline as of yet, though I have to imagine that that’s coming since, hey, this is a Conan story that we’re talking about here.
Painting in the visuals for the tale is artist Brian Ching, whose art is slick and has a heavy ‘animated’ style to it that I really liked. There’s a grittiness there, as you can see pervading the dusty setting, but there’s also a cool exaggeration with the facial expressions of the characters and the movement that he’s etched into someone the big splash scenes in particular.
It’s bold and over the top, which is fitting for Conan. The character has run the gamut of course, from extremely realistic depictions to work that’s akin to a painting, but Ching strikes a nice balance that I really enjoyed here, and look forward to seeing more of in the arc.
With some very cool artwork and a continuation of Conan and Natala’s quest through the Hyborian world’s great desert, Conan The Avenger continues to be a fun book with issue #16. As it’s the start of a new arc, it’s also a solid time to hop on board if you’re either a returning fan, or a new one.
Just be warned that there’s no real introduction to the history of Conan (or Natala), and you may be a bit lost if you’re completely unfamiliar with the barbarian.

The trailer for Christopher Nolan’s latest film, Oppenheimer, has been released by Universal Pictures.
“Oppenheimer” documents the life and ethically questionable achievements of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, credited with inventing the atomic bomb. Oppenheimer was a key player in the Manhattan Project, a government research effort focused on creating nuclear weapons that ran from 1942 to 1946, and he was director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, where the bombs were physically assembled.
Cillian Murphy plays Oppenheimer, marking her first lead in one of Nolan’s films. Murphy has played a central role in many of Nolan’s films, having previously starred in Inception, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises and Dunkirk.
“I’ll always turn up for Chris, no matter the size of the role,” Murphy previously told The Guardian. “Chris calls me and I’ll be there.”
The A-list cast includes Florence Pugh as Jean Tatlock, Emily Blunt as Kitty Oppenheimer, Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss, Matt Damon as Leslie Groves Jr., Gary Oldman as Harry S. Truman, and Rami Malek and Kenneth Branagh, Benny Safdie, Dane DeHaan, Jack Quaid, Matthew Modine, Alden Ehrenreich, Josh Peck, Jason Clarke, David Dastmalchian, Alex Wolff, James D’Arcy and many more.
The film is based on the 2006 Pulitzer Prize-winning biographical novel American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin. Nolan will serve as director and producer on the project alongside producers Charles Roven and Emma Thomas. Oppenheimer is Nolan’s first film since 2000’s Memento not to be released by Warner Bros., having ended his relationship with the studio following the release of Tenet.
“Oppenheimer” will be released in cinemas on July 21, 2023. Check out the trailer below.

In a statement made by the credit rating agency, it was reported that China’s credit rating was confirmed.
In the statement, it was stated that China’s long-term credit rating was confirmed as “A+” and short-term credit rating as “A-1”.
Stating that the country’s credit rating outlook is maintained as “stable”, it was noted that the stable outlook reflects the view that China will continue to grow above the average for the next 2 years.
The country’s fiscal deficit could remain above pre-pandemic levels this year as the government increases spending to alleviate domestic and foreign challenges, the statement said.
In the statement, it was stated that the Chinese economy recovered from the Kovid-19 restrictions in 2022, but it was stated that weak global demand and the danger in the real estate sector prevented this recovery.
In the statement, it was noted that the financial situation of the country worsened due to the increase in the government debt and interest burden, but some consolidation is expected in the next 2 years.
Pointing out that local authorities are more cautious in supporting off-balance sheet debt, the statement said that the economic recovery is expected to continue, albeit at a slower pace, and that China’s financial performance is expected to start to improve in the next 2 to 3 years.
