There’s a moment toward the end of award-winning French film Blue is the Warmest Color when actress Léa Seydoux runs her fingers through her short blonde hair. She rakes it from forehead to crown. Ducking her head, she pauses to peer up at her love interest, then cuts her eyes away. Her hand travels back toward her face then, her hair artfully disheveled in its wake. It’s the sort of arresting moment anyone who’s ever been in love with a dyke recognizes. Not just recognizes, craves. It’s why all the bluster is worth it. It’s why you show up.
This is not the sort of moment most critics have chosen to highlight. Rather, the movie’s buzz has centered around The SEX! Comprising 20 minutes of the three hour film, the sex scenes’ duration and specificity earned Blue an NC-17 rating. However, the true purpose of director Abdellatif Kechiche’s astutely observed coming of age story is to align the audience with Adele (Adele Exarchopoulos) as she transitions into an adulthood rich with discovery, emotional entanglements, interpersonal thrills and disappointments. Though Kechiche has been critiqued for shots which linger on Exarchopoulos’s ass, the sex he depicts is not meant to arouse but rather to inform. This is sex as character development, sex which, according to New Yorker film critic Richard Brody, exceeds our expectations of cinematic sex.
“Most sex scenes in movies are index-card signifiers,” Brody writes, “giving visual evidence of the fact that the characters have sex at a given point in the story but not actually showing much of significance about the sexual relationship.” In Blue, no long-nailed porn princesses touch tongues, instead two fully realized female lovers find physical outlet for their mutual passion.
Yet the lesbian sex depicted in Blue is hardly the gayest thing about the award-winning indie film. That honor goes to Seydoux who portrays Emma, the film’s blue-haired December to nubile Adele’s May. So accurate and authoritative is Seydoux in her characterization that Blue’s leads could have bundled up in thick wool sweaters and played a nice wholesome game of Parcheesi and the film would have been no less,well, gay.
A French actress, Seydoux has modeled for American Apparel and appeared in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards and Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood. In most online pictorials she appears liquid-eyed and lost; flowing hair grazes bare shoulders—she’s not just feminine, she’s straight. Now, one would hope a skilled actor could portray just about anyone of any type. Still, it’s easy for an actress to buzz her hair and aim her lips at the closest girl, but creating a character who truly reads as a capitol D Dyke is a more difficult feat.
Obviously lesbians are all lovely, intricate snowflakes. A femme is no less valid than a butch who is no less real than an androgynous gal. However, there’s a certain type of lesbian that film and television tend not to fully capture. She’s the cocksure cigarette-smoker, the one with the understated swagger whose bravado compels by virtue of what it’s cultivated to hide: that unique fragility born of female masculinity. Is butch the right word for Emma? Is boi? Either one might suffice but to me she’s a dyke. She’s the sum of a thousand different gestures, expressions and reactions, each of which alone might be meaningless, but when you add them up you know she doesn’t just play for your team, she’s the fucking captain.
Piecing together comments Seydoux has made about her character (“[Emma’s not] massive but she’s heavier than me. I was carrying that because I’m supposed to play the man.”) and how she’s explained her fluctuating self-image (“there have been moments where I’ve found myself pretty and sexy, but there are times when I find myself much less beautiful–a bit of a lesbian, you could say.”), one comes away unclear as to what Seydoux understands about playing a dyke. Though she’s been criticized for both comments, they seem to allude to small aspects of otherness which, however clumsily put, may have played into her acting choices. In truth, Emma’s role in her relationship with Adele is more traditionally masculine, and her beauty more blunt than graceful. Maybe that’s what Seydoux meant to imply.
No matter what comes out of Seydoux’s mouth, that hand-in-the-hair moment is representative of her consistent ability to embody a role rife with sub-culturally relevant signifiers, crucial in combination. Regardless of (or perhaps amazing in light of) Seydoux’s limited ability to describe the iconic dykiness of the character she so compellingly inhabits, with Blue, Seydoux joins the ranks of women like Ally Sheedy in High Art; straight but astute and observant enough to capture a type evanescent yet loaded with subcultural meaning, a type rarely seen on screen.

Having ruled with chaos, terror, and bloodshed, the fear of being poisoned haunted their hunger to the extent that only peculiar things made up their grocery list.
The following were the favourite meals of some of the most ruthless dictators of the 20th century.
The Ugandan military dictator and “President for Life” loved pizza and meat but his favourite was Kentucky Fried Chicken, according to his son, Jaffar Amin.
He was also fond of oranges, eating up to 40 a day and claiming they were a natural aphrodisiac.
Several hundred thousand people are believed to have been killed during the 8-year regime of Amin, who has since been renowned for the wrong reasons. After seizing power from the then president of Uganda Milton Obote in 1971, his dictatorial style of leadership made many see him as a monster.
He had come to power with good intentions for his people but as time went on he became power-drunk and started abusing people, historians say.
The Libyan dictator was ousted from power in 2011 after people described him as being a dictator who supported many questionable causes and policies, and who held on to power for too long – over 40 years.
But others still adored him and argued that his leadership brought a lot of socio-economic reforms to the country.
Gaddafi, who was the only African leader to have a circle of female bodyguards, loved camel milk and drank it all the time, even though it caused painful digestion problems. He also enjoyed Italian food.
The former Zimbabwean leader’s favourite meal was cheesecakes, according to the late Morgan Tsvangirai who was reported to have said that they both shared this meal during tea.
After ruling the Southern African country for 37 years, 94-year-old Mugabe finally resigned on November 21, 2017. The Zimbabwe National Army instigated an overthrow of Mugabe’s regime by placing him under house arrest for the crimes committed by individuals in his circle.
He was given the ultimatum to either resign by November 20, 2017, or face impeachment. He subsequently chose the former. His retirement sparked nationwide jubilations as Zimbabweans celebrated the dawn of a new era.
Mobuto Sese Seko
The former military dictator and president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo did not joke with bottles of his favourite Taittinger champagne, which were permanently on ice, according to an article on the Independent.
Marshal Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu Wa Za Banga during his tenure from 1965 to 1997, was accused of ruling his country with brutality, corruption, and ruthlessness. Served initially as a soldier in the Belgian colonial army, he became a journalist and an active participant in politics.
After his return to the military, he became widely involved in the politics of the newly independent Democratic Republic of Congo. He subsequently launched a coup that began his 32-year reign of terror.
Zine El Abidine Ben-Ali
The former Tunisian dictator enjoyed his favourite brand of French ice cream to the extent that he would have it imported from Saint-Tropez, France on a regular basis.
Serving as President of Tunisia from 1987 until his ousting in 2011, Ben Ali ruled over Tunisia with an iron grip. He fled to Jeddah in 2011 with his second wife Leila Trabelis and children after a wave of popular protests which inspired the Arab Spring revolts.
Since his escape, Ben Ali and his wife have been convicted in absentia in several cases by Tunisian courts, mostly for corruption.
He was also sentenced to life imprisonment for the crackdown on demonstrations during the 2011 revolution, in which 338 people were killed.

According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, there are approximately 300,000 sport-related concussions that occur annually in the United States. Hence, why this topic has become one of the more popular amongst news and social media outlets. Comparisons between concussion studies continue to be considered complicated because of a general lack of agreement pertaining to the actual definition and how to differentiate between the severities. An early definition frequently cited by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons group defines it as “a clinical syndrome characterized by immediate and transient post-traumatic impairment of neural functions, such as alteration of consciousness, disturbance of vision, and equilibrium due to biomechanical forces.” The most commonly reported symptoms associated with concussions are confusion, amnesia, and headaches. The injury is most often produced by the acceleration/deceleration of a freely moving head, making its significance even more relevant with the growing interest our society has in sports and athletics today.
Sports-related concussion have gained increased prominence, in part due to media coverage of several well-known athletes who have died from the consequences of what is now termed chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The emergence of CTE is becoming more understood and has increased awareness due to film being released on Christmas Day, “Concussion”, that is starring Will Smith who portrays Dr. Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist who was able to discover the disease after an autopsy performed on a former NFL player. Since the discovery, Dr. Omalu has fought against efforts by the National Football League to suppress his research on the brain damage suffered by professional football players. In the past 10 years, it has been one of the most discussed topics associated with not only football, but all contact sports.
CTE was first described by Martland in 1928 as a syndrome seen in boxers who had experienced significant head trauma from repeated blows. The classic symptoms of impaired cognition, mood, behavior, and motor skills also have been reported in professional football players, and in 2005, the histopathological findings of CTE were first reported in a former National Football League (NFL) player by Dr. Bennet Omalu. These findings were similar to Alzheimer’s disease in some ways, but differed in critical areas such as a predominance of tau protein deposition over amyloid. The pathophysiology is still unknown, but involves a history of repeated concussive and subconcussive blows followed by a period of lag before CTE symptoms become evident.
Along with Dr. Omalu, there has been an increasing amount of research performed recently to find more evidence of brain damage that may be related to prior or current concussions. Many of the research performed includes conducting a battery of tests on the brain and other tissue from former professional , college, and high school football players. Research has shown, including a study performed by researched at the John Hopkins School of Medicine found that on average, former NFL players showed an injury to the temporal lobe of the brain, specifically the amygdala, The amygdala is a part of the brain that plays an important part for people to regulate their mood. The same study also found that these players had lower scores than normal when tested for memory and verbal learning.
Concussions and the lingering effects from this injury will continue to be an important topic for years to come when it comes to the protection of athletes. It will be important for us as health care professionals to learn more about the disease process as well as what diagnostic tools and treatment options to successfully care for these athletes.

Drought Needs More Effort*
More efforts needed in war against drought
(06/11/2001) (China Daily)
Vice-Premier Wen Jiabao has told relevant departments to provide all necessary backing to help disaster areas fight against the drought which has devastated more than 20 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions over the past three months.
Wen, who is also in charge of China's top administration for flood and drought relief, told a working conference held in Jinan, Shandong Province Sunday that priority should be given to three things.
The first thing is to ensure the water supply in cities. Local governments should establish economic, administrative, technological, legal and engineering measures to ensure the supply. Such measures should include the economic use of water and the recycling and processing of polluted water.
In cities such as Tianjin and Dalian, where water is extremely sparse, more water conservancy facilities should be built as early as possible.
Secondly, he said, the water supply of human and livestocks must be guaranteed. Officials and technicians should grasp the situation at the grassroots.
A total of 15.8 million people are facing a shortage of drinkable water.
Industrial and agricultural production should also be a priority area. Water-saving irrigation techniques should be popularized in agricultural production. Meanwhile, water-consuming business should be minimized.
=The drought is affecting over 23 million hectares of non-irrigated farmland in Liaoning, Hebei, Henan, Shandong and Shaanxi provinces and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region amongst others.
A total of 2.9 million hectares of land had got no harvest at all.
By the end of May, more than 4.26 million hectares of cultivable land remained unsown because of inadequate moisture in the soil caused by the drought.

Almost 60% of Canada’s small and mid-sized business owners are aged 50 or older, nearly double the proportion of the overall workforce. The printing industry is no exception.
Four out of 10 entrepreneurs in Canada are likely to leave their businesses within the next five years, up from one in three in the mid-2000s, our study also found.
More than half of these entrepreneurs intend to sell or transfer their business to someone outside their family. A quarter of them see a family succession in the cards, while just over one in five expects to wind down the business and sell its assets.
What is key to the sale of any business is its strength – both financially and with its people. Is succession planning part of your corporate culture? Is cross-training a key to your operational strategy?
With staff as well as owners looking to exit, it’s time to ensure that everyone has a happy landing!

Healing Bible Verses
My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave. Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men. Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering." Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy.
Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.

Hope to see You There! -73-Bill N6FFC 2019 Vice President elect West Valley Amateur Radio Association —
The December issue of QST came out today in digital form. It contains the Field Day results.
The top four: W3AO 33942 15A W4EZ 21645 9AB K6EI 19720 14AB W4IY 16988 9A
We were just under 2000 points behind W4EZ, while Watching 4IY was a bit less than 3000 points behind us. A couple of thoughts – 1) it might be interesting to get with the EZ folks and see if we can get a friendly / collaborative competition going. I suspect it is always there, but it would be interesting to exchange info on what we both do, how it is similar and how it is different. We might be able to give each other ideas that improve both efforts. 2) It’s about time to start planning the 2019 effort. It should contain ideas to improve operations on the low bands. With 10 and 15 pretty much out of play (10 more than 15), 40 and 80 are even more important to our results.
In any case, we can pat ourselves on the back for a very short time (don’t hurt that keying arm, though) before we get started on next year.
And with the number of spotless days for the year officially at 60% today, and the percentage guaranteed to be above 51% overall for the year, perhaps we need to take up a collection to buy some sun spots.
Seriously, congrats to K6EI, K0XI and the folks who put this together, and all of team WVARA for the effort involved in setting yet another record.
Not only did WVARA score #3 nationwide, we also succeeded in setting a new all-time record for the 14 Alpha Battery category. (Our East Coast friends at W4EZ likewise set a new record for 9 Alpha Battery.) One obvious question: does WVARA want to pursue a new Field Day category record in 2019?
With CQP just happening this last weekend, apologies for not sending this out sooner, but we have a meeting this Wednesday (10/10) at the Red Cross at 19:00 in Meeting Room 5 at the Silicon Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross, 2731 N. First Street at Plumeria Drive (southwest corner) in San Jose. Talk in is available on the association repeaters, 2m is a good choice.
This month, we have a visit from our dear friend John Miller, K6MM to talk to us about his recent DXpedition to Baker Island at the end of June / early July. While we were out at field day and thought we had some warm weather, John and rest of the Baker team were baking in the South Pacific.
If you’ve been paying attention at all, you know that FT8 is starting to see major use in DXpeditions with its new DXpedition mode. Baker Island was one of the first DXpeditions to give it a full shakedown, find out how it worked out for them!
Baker Island is an uninhabited atoll located just north of the equator in the central Pacific Ocean about 3,090 km (1,920 mi) southwest of Honolulu. The island lies almost halfway between Hawaii and Australia. Its nearest neighbor is Howland Island, 42 mi (68 km) to the north-northwest; both have been territories of the United States since 1857, though the United Kingdom considered them part of the British Empire between 1897 and 1936. Located at 0°11′41″N 176°28′46″W, the island covers 2.1 km (0.81 sq mi), with 4.8 km (3.0 mi) of coastline. The climate is equatorial, with little rainfall, constant wind, and strong sunshine. The terrain is low-lying and sandy: a coral island surrounded by a narrow fringing reef with a depressed central area devoid of a lagoon with its highest point being 8 m (26 ft) above sea level. The island now forms the Baker Island National Wildlife Refuge and is an unincorporated and unorganized territory of the U.S. which vouches for its defense. It is visited annually by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. For statistical purposes, Baker is grouped with the United States Minor Outlying Islands. Baker Island is also the last piece of land that experiences the New Year (earliest time zone). Pre-meeting dinner: A few of us usually meet for dinner somewhere near the Red Cross around 6 pm prior to the meeting and anyone is welcome to join. This month we’re going to go back to Dish’n’Dash just a block down the street: https://www.yelp.com/biz/dish-n-dash-san-jose

Proposal for the competition announced by Cartama's city council to design a park next to La Mata School.
ECOTONOS, (oikos or house) and tono (tones) is the transition zone between two or more different ecological communities, own and exclusive to certain localities or regions combined with different programmatic situations. In an urban environment that is under development, the proposal seeks to collaborate in its growth by maximizing social interactions and environmental diversity, favoring the interaction between ecosystems and neighboring programs. For this, the project is adapted to the topographic conditions of the place through three plateaus linked through an accessible and circular route. These plateaus are configured as ecoTONOS, as landscape rooms in which species and spaces intertwine, enabling uses and catalyzing complementary experiences. A route that not only facilitates universal accesibility (at two speeds). but is also the infrastructure that distributes water and energy to the park as a whole. Modularity, ecological variability, diversity, and multifunctionality of environments and experiences at the same time suppones a mechanism of resilience against future disturbances, ensuring the maximum eco-social diversity over time with the minimum of maintenance and management.

Now in improvement, the Bell V-280 Valor employs second-generation tiltrotor technology and is smaller and potentially more cost-effective than the V-22, whilst still offering comparable baseline capabilities in some respects. That could make it a genuine threat to the AW609, at least in the military industry. It would be tough to get in touch with Leonardo Da Vinci something other than a man ahead of his time.

Bell Helicopter Textron is one of the most recognizable Rotor Wing Aircraft manufacturers in the planet. Bell Helicopter Textron has been an sector leader in vertical lift aircraft considering the fact that it was founded in 1935 by Larry Bell.
Along with the simulator, Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, has donated an aircraft model that’s capable to lift 35,000 pounds and 300 passengers with their equipment, a replica of the U.S. Marine Corps Heavy Lift Helicopter, and the CH-53K, which was designed to move Marines and their gear from ship to shore. The Lockheed Martin enterprise is also bidding on Pentagon contracts to replace several current programs, including its iconic Black Hawk helicopter.
Autopilot permits you to handle the aircraft with no moving the controls and is not out there in all helicopters. So, you need to have to make a decision how quite a few folks will need to travel in your helicopter routinely. Also appear at the distance it can travel ahead of needing to refuel.

The very first comprehensive conversion from takeoff to horizontal flight and back — the initially ever for a tilt-rotor aircraft — took location in December 1958.

It was an expensive development program aimed at a narrow slice of the helicopter market. The new helicopter model was targeted at the offshore oil business, exactly where helicopters ferry personnel and supplies to rigs far from the coast. The 525 would carry up to 18 passengers, be capable of flying more than 250 miles a single way, and return to base on a single tank of fuel. It would be considerably more quickly than any comparable helicopter, with a planned cruise speed of 200 knots . Six years right after a catastrophic accident, Bell Textron Inc. has settled a lawsuit filed by the households of two pilots who died in a vital test flight of an experimental prototype of an significant and ambitious all-new helicopter model.

Researchers analysing data from the 2013/14 and 2015/16 US National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) alongside cancer incidences from 2015, have linked more than 80,000 cancer cases (around 5%) to poor diet. Colorectal cancer had the highest incidence (38%) of diet related cases. The new research supports recent observations of increases in colorectal cancer in those under 50 years of age. Adding further fuel to the fire, additional research has suggested a link between consumption of sugary drinks (including fruit juice) and increased risk of mortality. Taken together these findings once again emphasise the pressing need for serious changes to what many of us eat, how frequently we eat, how contaminated or otherwise our food and environments are, how we move and how we manage our stress. There is no one magic bullet and if our aim is to create health in society we should be prepared to work on improving multiple factors in our lives – our diets being a great starting point for many of us.
NHS audit triggers call for junk food ban
A preliminary (unpublished) report following an audit of NHS hospitals in the UK, rated three-quarters of snacks sold in on-site cafés and canteens as unhealthy, despite ongoing efforts to promote healthier alternatives. Top selling snacks included savoury snacks, baked goods, confectionary and sugary drinks. Prof Dame Theresa Marteau said hospitals create a ‘health halo’ whereby people perceive junk food as being healthier. The figures mirror a new study spotlighting the increase in sales of ultra-processed food and drink (UPFD) and its associations with weight gain along with two new studies linking UPFD consumption with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and all cause mortality. Given the overwhelming burden caused by obesity and related, largely preventable, chronic diseases, the NHS should be setting an example to patients, staff and visitors alike by avoiding selling junk foods or feeding them to its patients. It should be promoting healthy options in hospitals and other healthcare settings and helping to promote healthy habits among staff and visitors alike. But more importantly, it should be doing this for its patients to expedite healing and reduce the time patients spend in its care.
Antibiotic filled rivers fuelling resistance
A study has revealed dangerous levels of antibiotic pollution in rivers around the world. With some rivers being found to exceed ‘safe’ levels by up to 300 times. The researchers from the University of York tested 711 sites across 72 countries and found antibiotic contamination in 65% of them. Locations in Africa and Asia were found to have the highest levels of contamination. In 2018 the UN declared antibiotic resistance to be a ‘global health emergency’ that could kill 5 million people a year in Asia alone by 2050. Overuse of antibiotics in both healthcare and agricultural settings means that they are unable to fight many common infections. With Big Pharma abandoning research into potential replacements, attention is turning to plant medicines that were used in the US Civil War to combat drug resistant pathogens. As individuals, we also need to take responsibility for our health by increasing our natural immunity and reducing our over-dependence on antibiotics. A previous study by scientists at King’s College London and the University of Suffolk found similar evidence of pollution from pharmaceuticals and pesticides.
UK 5G launch sidelines safety concerns
Giant mobile network EE has announced the launch of 5G in 16 cities around the UK today, 30th May 2019. Capitalising on the perceived ‘need’ for 5G, EE is sweeping aside all safety concerns over mmWave technology in its bid for an early launch. However, this will not be the full 5G technology. Instead it will be an extension of existing 4G, 3G and 2G technology. Publishing in IEEE Access, researchers commenting on cell phone specific absorption rate (SAR) data from the National Agency of France have confirmed concerns over emissions from mobile phones held near the body. Follow the links in our recent article for more information about 5G, what it is, and why there are so many fears over its safety — also, how you can become a 5G activist.

My partner and I have now started to 3D print all pieces of our Messaging Alert Device. We now have printed the base and the fan holder. This makes the device thinner, lighter and more inovating design. We continue to work on desiging the glass holder and the filter to make our device better. Along with 3D printing, my partner and I are starting to make the code more functionable and creating the charging pad.
Today I am working on a way to make turning on and off the fan when the vibration sensor easier. I have gotten this new setup to help, this setup will let me use arduino to control the fan and set it so when the vibration reaches a certain number on the code, it will turn off. But when the vibration stops, the fan will shut off.

Locally grown produce is not what one typically associates with the Atlantic Avenue subway station—the mall food court upstairs is anything but, and the victuals across the street at the Brooklyn Flea is really just fast food for hipsters. Crack pie, anyone?
However, a new photography exhibit by Brooklyn-based photographer Valery Rizzo on display now until December 2012, will decorate the subway walls with vibrant images of mouthwatering legumes, radishes and cucumbers, likely to inspire guilt about Shake Shake cravings and understocked refrigerators.
The exhibition is intended to inform locals about Brooklyn’s thriving agricultural scene, tipping a hat to farms such as Greenpoint’s Tenth Acre Farm, Added Value Community Farm in Redhook and Greenpoint’s Eagle Street Rooftop Farm. Winter is almost here, but it’s not too late to get planting that brownstone stoop garden.

Portrait of Sir Thomas More is an oak panel painting commissioned in 1527 of Thomas More by the German artist and printmaker Hans Holbein the Younger, now in the Frick Collection in New York. The work was created during the period from 1526 when Holbein lived in London. He gained the friendship of the Dutch humanist Desiderius Erasmus, who recommended that he befriend More, then a powerful, knighted speaker at the English Parliament.
Sir Thomas More (7 February 1478 – 6 July 1535), venerated in the Catholic Church as Saint Thomas More, was an English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist. He was also a Chancellor to Henry VIII, and Lord High Chancellor of England from October 1529 to 16 May 1532. He wrote Utopia, published in 1516, about the political system of an imaginary, ideal island nation.

After working for Lake County for 33 years in various positions from Library Services Director to Public Resources Director, Wendy Breeden wants a shot at being on the board of county commissioners. But to get there, she has to beat incumbent Jimmy Conner for the District 3 seat in the November election.
Now a month into her campaign, Breeden said she’s ready for change and thinks she can be the one to enact it.
“I was ready for a change from working for the county,” she said. “But I didn’t want to just ride off into the sunset. I have more to give.”
Breeden said she is “tired of career politicians,” and with her opponent Conner having worked with the City of Tavares as well as the School Board for years in the past, new blood might not be a bad thing.
“I think we need some new ideas,” she said. “A new look at how the county is operating. Fresh perspective is good.”
Breeden said she wanted to help with the county’s goal to be more business-friendly by pushing workers to stay in the area rather than take jobs in Orange County. To do this, she said, would involve smoothing out kinks in the county’s economy.
“We want both higher paying jobs and more commercial businesses to balance out the economy and to keep people in Lake County contributing to the Lake County economy,” she wrote in an email.
Breeden also said she wanted better job training for those in the county.
“I’ve also heard many times that businesses have trouble finding qualified applicants for their existing businesses,” she wrote. “We need to work with educational partners to provide job seekers with the needed skills.”
She wants to take a look at “the complete package of taxes, fees, incentives, infrastructure and regulations, as well as educational opportunities and quality of life,” she wrote, with the end goal being more new businesses hopefully choosing to locate in Lake County.
In a Daily Commercial article, Conner is quoted as alleging that marketing and PR professional Mandy Wettstein, who supports Breeden, is a lobbyist for CEMEX Construction Materials. The County denied CEMEX’s proposal of construction of a 1,196-acre sand mine in the area last year.
Conner alleged that CEMEX was trying to get someone in office who would look favorably on the sand mine, according to the article.
Breeden said she was not being influenced by CEMEX, according to the article.
Conner did not respond to multiple requests for comment by Orlando Rising.


The next episode of Indium Corporation‘s free webcast series, EV InSIDER Live, will focus on the availability of public charging options in the United States on Thursday, Aug. 11 at 11:30 a.m. New York time.
Co-hosted by Indium Corporation’s global head of e-Mobility and infrastructure Brian O’Leary and Loren McDonald, EV InSIDER Live is designed to shed light on the most pressing issues from across the dynamic and rapidly evolving electric vehicle (EV) landscape.
For the August webcast, O’Leary and McDonald will be joined by Cory Bullis, senior public affairs manager, U.S. at FLO, a leading manufacturer and network operator of EV charging solutions. Click here to register.
In U.S. Charging 2.0: Building a More Reliable Public Infrastructure, Bullis will help O’Leary and McDonald navigate the steps necessary to improve public charging in the United States as almost half of U.S. households do not have the option to charge at home, making public charging stations critical for the country’s EV future. Today, the existing charging network is, unfortunately, receiving a failing grade. The webcast will cover the new U.S. regulations for uptime performance and how the industry can best respond while also delivering an A+ experience to the public.

Recently, the Executive Director of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) blasted the Uganda Police Traffic officers accusing them of being the main reason why there’s too much traffic jam in the city.
After the accusations, the aggrieved officers today resolved to vacate all the city roads and this has caused a never seen before massive traffic congestion in most city centre roads.
Apparently, traffic officers, want motorists to figure out whether there will be traffic order without them on the roads.
Citizens have taken on the duty to direct traffic.

On August 11th, 2007, 20 year-old Sophie Lancaster and her boyfriend Robert Maltby were viciously attacked by a group of teenagers while walking through a neighborhood park. Kicked, stamped on and left unconscious, Sophie's injuries were so severe the attackers' boot prints were left imprinted on her face. Four years ago today, Sophie died from her injuries.
Sophie and Rob committed no crime or offense to provoke the attack that ended one life and forever darkened another. They were attacked simply because they looked and dressed differently.
How many of us could this have happened to? How many of us in this beauty-junkie subculture express ourselves freely and uniquely through the color of our hair, the way we apply our makeup, what we choose to wear? Sophie died for this freedom.
In 2009, Sophie's mother Sylvia created a charity in her daughter's name. In partnership with UK based Illamasqua cosmetics and marketing firm Propaganda, The Sophie Lancaster Foundation aims to reform UK Hate Crime legislation to protect people from “alternative subcultures” as well as provide education that will challenge the prejudice and intolerance that lead to such a horrific crime.
In memory of Sophie, and the many others who have been persecuted simply for being themselves, please watch and share this video to learn how you can help S.O.P.H.I.E- Stamp Out Prejudice Hatred and Intolerance Everywhere.

Air New Zealand has announced an increase in capacity to a number of prominent international destinations, as it prepares for a busy Northern Winter schedule.
First off the mark are Asian destinations, with the airline increasing overall capacity on Chinese routes during the Northern Winter period (November 2011 – March 2012) by 21.6 per cent, including more flights to Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai. Capacity will a;so increase by 38.6 per cent on the Auckland-Beijing route, assisted by a third year round 777-200ER service. With the planned addition of a fourth 777-200ER, Air New Zealand’s Auckland to Shanghai route will also increase capacity by 22.7 per cent, as that service begins operating from December to March next year.
“In addition, following strong demand for the overnight service from Auckland to Hong Kong, this route is up by 15.6 per cent with a Boeing 777-200 operating daily services from November to mid-December, increasing to nine services per week from mid-December,” Air New Zealand deputy CEO Norm Thompson, said in a statement.
To Japan, and the airline has announced a 7.7 per cent increase to its 767-300 Auckland-Osaka route, restoring capacity to the same levels before Japan’s recent spate of natural disasters. Air New Zealand is also moving ahead with the introduction of a 747-400 on the Auckland to Tokyo route between December and February.
“We will be increasing our Auckland – Tokyo capacity by 16 per cent, with the up-gauge of the daily service from a Boeing 777-200 to a Boeing 747-400 aircraft, reflecting our confidence in the return of tourists to New Zealand from this important market,” Thompson said.
Meanwhile, in North America, all Auckland to San Francisco flights will also be operated by a747-400 aircraft, increasing capacity by 14.1 per cent, while Auckland to Vancouver is expected to track a rise by 10.1 per cent. Adding to this will be two 777-300ERs to exclusively service all Air New Zealand flights to and from Los Angeles from February 2012.


MEPs call for stronger cyber defence as threats increase
The European Parliament has voted on a resolution to establish a more robust defence in the face of increasing malicious cyber attacks.
The cyber defence resolution, passed by 476 votes to 151, with 36 abstentions, recognised that Russia, China and North Korea, in addition to non-state actors, had conducted malicious cyber attacks on critical infrastructure in the EU, which included engaging in cyber espionage and mass surveillance of EU citizens, running disinformation campaigns and taking internet access hostage.
The ability of the EU to defend themselves from such hostile acts is impaired by Europe’s fragmented defence strategies and capabilities, leaving member states vulnerable to cyber attacks. MEPs urged member states to enhance the ability of their armed forces to work together and to strengthen cyber cooperation at EU level, with NATO and other partners.
This would entail more joint cyber exercises, training and exchanging military officers, recruiting cyber forensics experts, and also improving the cyber defence expertise of EU missions and operations.
MEPs welcomed two cyber projects that are set to be launched within the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO): an information-sharing platform for cyber incidents and cyber rapid response teams. It is envisaged this will lead to the creation of a European cyber rapid response team, which would coordinate, detect and counter collective cyber threats.
EP rapporteur on cyber defence, Urmas Paet, said: “A successful cyber attack can turn a nuclear power plant into a nuclear bomb or cause chaos in a hospital, putting patients’ lives at risk. In order to defend ourselves from such threats, we need to strengthen cyber defence capabilities by boosting cooperation between Member States, the EU and NATO.”

Have you seen mold growing on an item at home? There is probably nothing more unsightly. When mold attacks the indoor unit, it settles on filters and other parts that ought to maintain clean indoor air. AC technicians encounter this challenge regularly. Mold and bacterial block the smooth flow of air because they clog the filter. The result is an air conditioner that must work harder and consume more power. That isn’t even the worst part.
Effects of Mold Spores on the Body
It should not surprise you that ever since the air conditioning unit started developing discoloration, you have been feeling nauseous. Every time you switch on the affected air conditioner, mold spores and mildew are released into the air. The link between mold and health complications was established by none other than the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Specifically, their study in 2004 showed that mold in indoor air can cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis, upper respiratory tract symptoms, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Countering Mold Growth
For mold to grow, it needs two conditions: Organic food material and moisture. A leak or high humidity can cause high humidity. Evaporator and condenser coils are the most common sources of high humidity. Food material emanates from particles in dust, carpets, wood, and so on. Ideally, ac ducts are not the best places for mold to thrive because food sources are rare there. However, a slow build-up of dust particles can make the place a haven for these organisms.
Clean the Air Conditioner Regularly
Mold may have adverse effects, but the growth may not be visible to the naked eye. So, even if you don’t see the signs, a professional cleanup is still necessary. It is the only way you and your family are guaranteed uncontaminated indoor air. You might need to dismantle the unit, which reminds you of the need for a professional repair technician. Some components on which mold may settle may only be accessed by a certified HVAC professional because of the risks they possess. It is also challenging to access all the parts if you don’t have the right tools. If you feel that your unit needs thorough inspection and cleaning for molding, consider calling the experts.
Apply an Inhibitor
This step is about preventing the reoccurrence of mold in the unit. A mold inhibitor is a chemical product that prevents the growth of mold. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has an updated list of approved mold inhibitors, which are your best bet of getting positive results. Apply this product to all parts of the ac unit but in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Proper AC Maintenance
The buildup of moisture and food components inside the ac unit is the ultimate enhancer of mold growth. The good thing is that proper maintenance can help keep most of the air pollutants away. It also enhances the efficiency and longevity of the unit. An important activity in maintenance is filter repair/cleaning, which prevents mold buildup.
Mold proliferation in the ac can make your family uncomfortable, especially if it lasts long. The repair costs that may ensure can also leave a big dent in your wallet. Avoid health risks and money loss that comes with mold. When you clean the unit regularly and follow the maintenance steps recommended by the AC repair specialist, your indoor air will be perpetually fresh and the electricity costs manageable.

I promised, months ago, to do 100 Cultural Lifechangers as a series of Lj posts. I haven’t forgotten, I just don’t feel up to making big lj posts a lot of the time. But, I have just finished Bring up the Bodies
, want to rave about it, and thought; what better way to finally start this thing.
I have been making lists of the things – books, movies, art, etc – I want to talk about in this series, and one of the first titles I wrote down in the list of books was Wolf Hall
by Hilary Mantel. I was slightly doubtful about including it because I only read it last fall so I worried that maybe I should give it some time to see if it stayed with me. But then the sequel, Bring up the Bodies,
came out in May. I reread Wolf Hall
and immediately followed it up with the new book, which I finished earlier today. I feel confident that I am not in any way overstating things to claim this as one of the most important books I have read.
I do feel like, since this is basically a post raving about these books, that I should put up a disclaimer, which goes for all future posts. These things are personal. You may not like this book, and I would understand if you dislike it, because while it’s very very good, it may not be your thing. Every one of these 100 Things will by default be a recommendation, and I hope that if you read it (which, good on you if you wade through my word vomit) you want to give the thing a try. But sometimes, probably more often than I realize, the reason I love a story is because of personal taste or the place it has in my life at the time I read it.
Also, a note on spoilers; I don’t think I can really…spoil these books? I mean, plot-wise, these things happened 500 years ago, I don’t think that it still counts as a spoiler if I tell you what happened to Anne Boleyn :P
For those of you who don’t know the books, a short introduction to the plot: Wolf Hall
is set in England in the early sixteenth century: the Tudor era, when Henry VIII was king. The main character in Thomas Cromwell, an infamous historical figure who becomes a layered and surprisingly likeable character throughout these books. We follow him as he rises above his humble origins as a blacksmith’s son and becomes the King’s right-hand man. Henry VIII is in this period trying to annul his marriage to Katherine of Aragon in order to marry Anne Boleyn, and Cromwell helps him to achieve that. In the sequel, Bring up the Bodies
, Henry turns against Anne and she famously is convicted of treason, and is beheaded at the Tower. Again, Thomas Cromwell is the man responsible. ( cut for lengthy discussion of why it"s a great bookCollapse )
But why is it a lifechanger, and why is it one of ten books I'm discussing? I can tell this part is going to be a problem for the other 99 things too because damn, that's hard to articulate. Basically, I think what it comes down to is that it hits on the right combination of quality, personal interest, and emotion for me. I wouldn't be as into it if I didn't have all those feelings about the period and the people (ie Anne) already, I wouldn't rave about it as much if the writing wasn't so compelling, and I definitely wouldn't be writing this post of overflowing words if I hadn't had such an emotional reaction to it. On several occasions throughout reading the books I got overwhelmed with emotions and did this. I don't get that enough, that feeling of being completely involved in a story so that you can't put it down and you just have to force yourself to stop and breathe. And this is the first one in a long long time that combines that lovely feeling with extremely good writing. These novels have restored my faith in historical fiction and have assured me that I can truly love books that aren't fantasy or YA.

“Hey, Tommy Tommy! Hey, Tommy Robinson!”
— chant from a recent Free Tommy Robinson rally in the UK
There is an old saying that goes, “I love my country, it’s the government I can’t stand.”
I love Great Britain, its history, its culture, its Queen (God save Her Majesty!), its monarchical, aristocratic, folk, and just plain quirky traditions, and yes, I believe, its potential – if it can shake off these “dark times” (in Katie Hopkins’ words) it is going through. But its government? That, I have less and less respect for all the time.
In this latest confirmation that George Orwell (author of the classic work of dystopian fiction, Nineteen Eight-Four) was not wrong, just several decades premature, social activist and citizen journalist Tommy Robinson was recently livestreaming outside the latest grooming-gang trial in the UK. As reported in, inter alia, the National Review,
“The police turned up in a van and swiftly arrested Robinson for ‘breach of the peace.’ Within hours Robinson had been put before one Judge Geoffrey Marson, who in under five minutes tried, convicted, and sentenced Robinson to 13 months. He was immediately taken to prison.”
Tommy Robinson is a controversial figure, to say the least. The founder of the English Defense League, he is definitely to the nationalist and populist right of center. For those whose social and political perspective is globalist and statist, or “progressive” and multiculturalist, that’s enough to make him persona non grata.
But he has not only been opposed to the enforced mass immigration that the now apparently dead-in-the-water Brexit was, in part, about, but he has been focusing on exposing the mostly-Pakistani Muslim “grooming gangs” – as the British press delicately phrases it – or as Hopkins more accurately puts it, “rape squads.”
This is no exaggeration. Would that it were! But as Douglas Murray points out in a National Review article that pulls no punches on either side, “every month brings news of another town in which gangs of men (almost always of Pakistani origin) have been found to have raped young, often underage, white girls.”
Since this is an issue the authorities would rather not confront, they are needless to say not inclined to look favorably on someone whose activities – as a social activist and citizen journalist – are forcing the issue into public attention. Have some of his actions been unwise, even foolish? Yes. Has the British government’s response to him been disproportionate and extreme? A thousand times, yes! Murray continues,
“The primary issue is that for years the British state allowed gangs of men to rape thousands of young girls across Britain. For years the police, politicians, Crown Prosecution Service, and every other arm of the state ostensibly dedicated to protecting these girls failed them. As a number of government inquires have concluded, they turned their face away from these girls because they were terrified of the accusations of racism that would come their way if they did address them. They decided it wasn’t worth the aggravation…
“What can be said with absolute certainty is that Tommy Robinson has been treated with greater suspicion and a greater presumption of guilt by the United Kingdom than any Islamic extremist or mass rapist ever has been. That should be — yet is not — a national scandal. If even one mullah or sheikh had been treated with the presumption of guilt that Robinson has received, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the rest of them would be all over the U.K. authorities. But different standards apply to Robinson.”
And now he has been sent to prison for 13 months, where – if he is in an open ward, in which are a very large proportion of Muslims – he may end up coming out in a body bag. As Tucker Carlson and Katie Hopkins point out in the video above, you don’t have to like Tommy Robinson, agree with him, or even know who he is to understand that what has happened to him is wrong. To quote Murray again,
“Tommy Robinson will be in prison for another year. And all those people happy with the status quo will breathe a sigh of relief. ‘Thank goodness that troublemaker has gone away.’ Yet their real problem has not gone away. There is no chance of their real problem going away. Because they have no plan for making it go away.
“They have a vague hope, of course, which is that at some point soon in the coming generations this will all simmer down and the incoming communities will develop similar views about the status of women as the rest of society. And perhaps we will get there someday. But it is telling that the apparently tolerable roadkill en route includes one young man from Luton — and thousands of raped girls.”

The Leica Camera Group finished the 2021/2022 financial year (1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022) with record operating results. Compared to the previous year, turnover increased by more than 16 % and, at a preliminary € 450 million, achieved the best business result in the company's history of more than 100-years. According to Matthias Harsch, CEO of Leica Camera AG, a significant increase was also recorded in return on sales. The international, premium manufacturer of cameras and sports optics products thus registered more than positive results from the past year and was able to accelerate its international growth despite the coronavirus crisis and its effects on supply chains and the retail segment.
A significant factor in this growth was the systematic expansion of the global sales and retail network and the online business sector. With the realignment of US business activities and the founding of regional organisations in the Middle East and Scandinavia, the company further consolidated its activities in strategically important premium markets. As a result of this, Leica now operates almost 100 mono-brand stores around the world. ‘We are convinced that our products “made in Germany” fulfil the strongly growing consumer demand for high-quality sustainable brands and that our new product categories will generate increasing enthusiasm for the world of Leica photography in younger target groups’, reports Matthias Harsch.
With the recent announcement of a strategic partnership in the area of camera development with Xiaomi, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of smartphones, the company is intensifying its activities in future-oriented fields of technology such as image processing, image quality tuning and computational imaging. The goal of the technology partnership between Leica and Xiaomi is the definition of new quality and performance standards in the world of smartphone photography.

Happy Christmas Week, everyone! It’s a bit crazy here this week, with finishing up work (I’m off tomorrow after noon for a whole week and half, hooray), finishing up shopping/wrapping/baking, working on the WIP (due February!) and general holiday looniness. But I do get to go see a preview of The Young Victoria tomorrow night, which I am very excited about–I’ve been waiting for this movie for a long time! Next week I’ll be able to let you know what I think of the story, the acting, etc, but I am pretty sure there is one aspect I will like very much, which is the costumes (of course!). They look very authentic in the photos, as well as quite pretty. (And if Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend are also a bit prettier than the originals, well who am I to complain?) (There is already an excellent review at Scandalous Women!)
So while I run off to do some lunch-hour last minute shopping today, enjoy the images!
What do you think of the costumes? Have you seen the movie yet (and if so what did you think??) What other historical figures would you love to see made into movies, and who would you cast?

Hello everyone, today is the last and final dye tests of 2016. When I look at that number I don’t think it looks like very much, but then for most of those posts you have to multiply by three because most posts equal three dye tests. So really I did thirty-three dye tests. That’s a high number. Think I can beat that in 2017? Anyways this post is four dye tests.

Hello there! Here is my latest natural dye test! This post only contains one dye test opposed to the usual three, but that is because this test was very specific for a shirt. And I knew the goal was blue. It had to result in blue (oops spoilers!) no if, ands or buts. I used black hollyhocks to achieve it and it worked with a little bit of help.

Hello everyone, today I am back with the last round of three dye tests I did and let me tell you that it was definitely a battle of the yellows and golds. For this round of tests that I conducted I used mainly odds and ends of flowers that I had collected and dyed that I wasn’t sure what colour would become of them.

Hello everyone today is another round of natural dye tests. This time round I tested two different colours of clematis petals, one was a pale purple-pink colour and the other was a royal purple, and I did a solar dyeing test using petals that I only had bits and bobs of. This week I was determined to do a solar dye test that was committed. I feel as though the two other times I attempted it I didn’t want to commit materials to the tests. Mainly because I am such a fan of bundle dyeing, and I know that solar dyeing is the cousin of the bundle dye… And I may happen to have a favourite cousin out of the two… But this week I was committed to do a test full of gusto! And some of the results were surprisingly pigmented whereas others were anemic. But doesn’t that seem like how most of my tests go?

Hello everyone, august is here and it is time to see what is new in the garden since last month. I love the mid-summer flowers that start appearing in the garden because they tend to be the ones with the deeper and more vivid colours. However the gardens were hit by a hailstorm at the end of July and things looked a little depleted for a handful of days but then things started to perk up again! So let’s see what’s growing!

Hello everyone, here is the fifth installment of dye tests! Today I am sharing two tests both using dried petals. One test uses hot pink geranium petals and the other uses a mix of tulip petals and dried gentian flowers. This test is different in the sense that I took it on vacation with me so I had to make it travel sized. This wasn’t hard but it was different and it made it kind of fun because these tests can start to seem redundant with the process and this small change was just enough to put more interest in them. And as for the results this time round they were very surprising to me. I thought I would get a brown colour from the test that used a mix of petals and a pink colour from the geranium petals. But that isn’t what happened I wound up getting a yellow colour and a coffee/pink colour (depending on the fibre used).
