JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (FIRSTCOASTNEWS) – A 14-year-old is facing charges in connection with the accidental shooting of a 6-year-old boy in Jacksonville on Tuesday. Deputies with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and the boy’s family said the boy found the gun at home and accidentally shot himself while they were sleeping. The teen is facing a charge of culpable negligence in the incident, reported local NBC affiliate First Coast News. According to the sheriff’s office, the teen was the last one to have possession of the gun. When officers arrived to the shooting, they found the boy with a gunshot wound to the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene. A person who lives in the home identified himself as the boy’s uncle. He said the boy’s name was Danny Wade III, reported First Coast News. The boy’s uncle, Zachary Williams, said he had custody of Danny because his parents are currently incarcerated. Williams said he thinks the gun belonged to someone staying with them and it wasn’t locked up. Officials said the boy was in a bedroom watching TV when he found the loaded handgun, grabbed it and shot himself. RELATEDTOPICS Firehouse Subs to be bought by Canadian fast-food company November 17, 2021 Florida teacher arrested for child abuse days after school honor November 2, 2021 First Coast News’ Crime and Safety Analyst Mark Baughman said the charge the teen faces carries a maximum of about seven years in prison but that the judge may give some leeway. Baughman also said this may not be the only charge in this case since the teen is a minor and there were adults in the house at the time of the incident. “This could be could be a beginning point of charging, and they could charge someone else in that house since you had adults in there,” he said. The sheriff’s office detained seven people for questioning and said everyone was cooperating. Officials said there are a mix of adults and minors living at the home. It is unclear if any other members of the household will face charges in the boy’s death.

Damon Benning has experienced much in his football life. But he still loves the lessons of Friday nights and the smell of a hot dog. Now, the lessons his father taught him, he is passing down as an assistant for Omaha Westside, where his son Caleb is a star defender. By Tony Chapman November 20, 2021 3531 views Share Tweet 0 Coach and Me is a series of stories during the 2021-22 school year that reflect on the relationships between coaches and their children. It will also be a reflection of memories for Tony Chapman and his dad, who passed away July 6, 2021. PHOTO ABOVE: Damon and Caleb Benning before Westside’s semifinal win over Bellevue West. (photo credit / Matt Foster, KETV Omaha) CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK — In the cold of mid-November, coach always tried to see if he could find a state football championship game close enough that he could take his oldest son. Ansley, 1985. Brainard, 1989. And when I went off to college, I called him. “Want to go to Overton on Friday night, dad?” It was the fall of 1994. And, so we’d go. Stand around the field with 2,000 friends or so and watch the small town heroes do their thing. When they moved these big games to Memorial Stadium we didn’t go after that. Pop would always opt for the television — read warmer — version of the state finals. It was fine with me too if I am being honest. Almost always there was a phone call after every game on Nebraska Public Television. What I saw. What he saw. As time moved on in recent years, he especially loved how Damon Benning would analyze a game. “Keeps it simple,” he’d say. “Does a really good job.” The ultimate compliment for a man of few words. When Damon wasn’t calling these games, he was coaching in them, as a member of Omaha North’s championship staff in 2013, 2014 and 2017. They made the finals five times in a six year stretch. Now Benning coaches at Omaha Westside and, when he returns to Memorial Stadium on Tuesday, he’ll bring his son Caleb, starting safety for the Warriors. It’s now seven finals in the last decade for Coach Benning. Yeah, Damon Benning has lived a life that has been made better by football. All-state in high school, Nebraska national champion, Orange Bowl MVP. Analyzes it’s now on the radio in Omaha and for Big Ten Network. Most importantly, he passes those lessons on. “I think the biggest thing he teaches me is you should always work hard to be the best you can be,” Caleb tells me after practice on Thursday night. “Not just in sports, but in life.” But to know Damon’s story, you should meet his coach, too. His father — Omaha difference maker — Dr. Donald Benning. THE BENNING MEN: Don, Damon, Caleb and younger brother Micah. (photo courtesy Damon Benning) You’d do well to learn more about Don Benning and the best way to do it is with Dirk Chatelain’s stirring tribute from the summer of 2017. Don Benning — if we could all be so lucky — changed thousands of lives and passed away that summer. He was 80. He was the first African-American to do many things in Omaha and Nebraska: faculty member and coach at Omaha University; win a wrestling national championship; then, later, a doctorate in education from Nebraska; first athletic director in the Omaha Public School system. He is a member of the Nebraska High School Sports Hall of Fame. His legacy on Nebraska high school sports is probably under-documented. Like many who coach and teach, even though he’s not here anymore, many still feel Don Benning’s presence — his gifts. Ask his youngest son. “He is the reason I am still involved in and love high school sports,” Damon tells me. “I love the smell of popcorn and a hot dog. Those memories of being with my dad are everything. Football on a Friday or all day at the Civic Auditorium for basketball, that’s what I loved growing up. “He was my best friend. He was very level headed, very measured. He never really talked about the things he went through, I learned them as we talked about them when I was older. I grew to admire him for that.” Ask Westside superintendent Mike Lucas, who earned his doctorate at the University of Nebraska under Dr. Benning’s watchful eye. He loves to tell the story of meeting a fellow “football guy.” Lucas’ program with other fellow educators was an all day Saturday affair and most would go to lunch together, but one day Lucas wanted to see what Dr. Benning was doing. “I find him in a room in the student union with a bag of peanuts watching football on ESPN2,” Lucas jokes 20 years later. “Toledo and Bowling Green or something like that. A horrible game. “Do you know someone playing,’ Lucas asked. “No. I just love football.” I just love football, that was Don Benning. It is his son and his grandson, too. Football — and sport — was a way for Don Benning to leave a lasting impact on those around him. “He was teaching us to be better superintendents or better principals,” Lucas said, “but he also wanted us to be better leaders for our families. To have an attention to detail and a competitive spirit. “He was a legend.” Chatelain recognized this, too. From his tribute: Thumbtacked to the bulletin board in his office, Don Benning kept this poem, which defined his groundbreaking wrestling program and his life: If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don’t. If you’d like to win, but think you can’t, It’s almost a cinch you won’t… Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man; But sooner or later the man who wins Is the one who thinks he can. DAMON’S WARRIORS: Damon Benning sits with a group of Omaha Westside defenders earlier this season. To his right, his son Caleb (1). (courtesy photo / Damon Benning) The lessons were plenty this football season and though the season will end over the next five days in both Kearney and Lincoln, the lessons we learned will last us forever. Caleb Benning knows. He knows this 2021 season has been a blessing. “I think this season has maybe been better than most of us expected,” he said. “I guess we knew we had a chance but we didn’t know if we were ready.” His dad knows too, through the lessons he’s learned from his many coaches. From being on staff and coaching so many kids through the years that this season — all of them to be fair — is about way more than football. “Everything we do athletically, I try to relate to life,” he says, but you know who’s talking, who he learned this from. “Competition. Being the best version of yourself. How to handle pressure. We coach very little football. “Westside’s program is that way. They make it easy to be others centered.” Yeah, we all learned something this season. Whether the people we loved are here to see it or not. That a fighting spirit can take you some place. That having an entire community support you can be the ultimate lesson in togetherness. That thinking about more than yourself can take you somewhere you may not have gone otherwise. We’ll see it all in the next five days. Dads and their sons; some of them together on the sideline. Moms cheering on their boys. In a game that will mean so much now, but even more later. When the lessons have sunk in and the color of the medal they wore after the game doesn’t matter at all. What do you remember about your grandpa, I asked Caleb. “Hard work is the biggest thing,” he says. “And, I know what he went through, the legacy he left. That’s important to me.” I learned today that the poem Don Benning loved so much was the same one at the front of dad’s playbook all those years. It was on his card at the funeral. In lieu of space I am sure, Dirk Chatelain left out the middle. For out in the world we find Success begins with a fellow’s will; It’s all in the state of mind. If you think you’re outclassed, you are. You’ve got to think high to rise. You’ve got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. You’ll see all those lessons in the state football finals. The lessons that Don Benning taught, that his son still passes on and his grandson tries to soak in. Lessons that we know can be taught in Omaha or in an 8-man town and bring us all together to learn about life. What would Don have thought about Tuesday (about all these finals, really), I ask the coach. A sort of parting gift of wisdom. “He’d have told me not to cry, I know that,” there is a firm resolution in Damon’s voice. “Crying is what happens when you can’t do any more is what he always told us. “And, he’d be there early, before the gates would open. He’d want everyone to soak it all in. He was never late for anything.” With a certain sense of pride in his voice, Damon Benning puts a smile on my face and I think about dad. Don Benning had -ism’s just like Coach Chapman. Best to leave on a good note, I think. Dad would have wanted it that way and so would Dr. Donald Benning. “If you find yourself getting comfortable you better move. The only thing that grows under still feet is dead grass.” Those are the lessons of football and leadership and teamwork. Of raising young men between white lines. The lessons I learned and Damon learned. The lessons Caleb still hears. The many lessons of Coach and Me. Family is as important to us as it is to our friends at Bruce Furniture. Their partnership with us allows us to create unique content like Coach and Me.

Home News Features Opinion Video Events Jobs Buyers' Guide White Papers Press Releases Company A - Z Digital Edition Subscribe Online CEZ signs enrichment contract with Areva 23 November 2009 Print Email Czech power utility (CEZ) and Areva have signed a major 15-year uranium enrichment services contract for the Temelin nuclear power plant (units 1 and 2). The recent contract further increases the substantial order book for Areva’s future Georges Besse II enrichment plant, located on the Tricastin site. In February, Areva signed its biggest ever uranium enrichment contract with French utility EDF. That long-term contract, worth more than EUR5 billion ($7 billion), also secures enrichment services to be provided by the new GBII plant. CEZ operates a fleet of six nuclear reactors (on the sites of Dukovany and Temelin) which provide 31% of the Czech Republic’s electricity generation. The Czech utility has recently announced its intent to increase its fleet of nuclear reactors, with the construction of two new units during the next decade. CEZ said: “We consider the execution of the future EUP deliveries (Enriched Uranium Product) as a new challenge which will require a very close co-operation with Areva. This contract is a very important part of our long-term diversification of supply strategy." François-Xavier Rouxel, executive president of Areva’s Enrichment business unit commented: "We are very pleased to renew our collaboration with a Central European Utility. This success is a sign of the confidence placed by our Czech customer in AREVA’s know-how and reliability." Areva has previously announced that the first centrifuge cascade at the GBII plan “will begin spinning at the end of the year”. Full production capacity of 7.5 million SWU per year at the plant is targeted for 2016. Related Articles Cold fusion a possible source of power?

I played Persona 5 Royal last year, and I gotta say that I enjoy P4G more. Sure the graphics are dated, but for some reason I felt that P5R were much more busywork. It had more mechanics, longer dungeons, and a duller story. I never liked all the crap securing a route that took away 3-4 days of the calender. Here you can clear a dungeon on the last day. I also like the OST more in P4G. It is fantastic, and i never get tired of the overworld song. Dojima -> Sojiro Not only that but most of the cast is more likeble in P4G; in my opinion of course. That said, P5R is not a bad game at all, it is just that I realize that P4G gets the edge for me Last edited: Jul 21, 2021 Reactions: Nok Su Kow, sensoff, Tschumi and 6 others hououinkyouma00 Member Apr 6, 2015 1,771 1,512 570 Jul 21, 2021 #2 Persona 4 Golden is my favorite game of all time. Without a doubt, Persona 5 has better gameplay but IMO Persona 4 does everything else better. Also Persona 4 has a special place in my heart and got me out of a very deep depression that otherwise could have ended very differently. Also Signs of Love is quite possibly the best video game song ever made. Heartbeat, Heartbreak as well.

I don't disagree with you, but lots of JRPGs still skip the platform, enough to argue its not a good idea for someone who likes those games to actually buy a system to play em.

So its like, if you love Persona or Dragon Quest or anything like that, it makes sense to just not own that platform. You have to wait, gamble it won't be there etc. Danjin44 said: You want to see more JRPG on Xbox? Then Xbox gamers need to show they are willing supporter those games. Click to expand... Well....maybe. I don't even think its really that, I think as much people that REALLY like those games that exist on XB, are really as much as you are really seeing buy those games on XB, as in....the max number that really wants that, got that, simply that it won't match the PS and Nintendo install base. Those consumers are already used to buying those games day 1 on those systems vs waiting, begging for ports, getting odd releases etc. So even when you look at Dragon Quest or FF being ported on those systems....ask yourself, how many die hard fans of those series really skipped owning a Wii, PS3, PS4 etc? Thus...how and why would they be die hard fans, without the very systems those games appear on day and date? So I just don't know how many massive FF fans exist, that ONLY own XB, cause that means they "love" the IP so much ,they igored FFX, FFXII, FFIX, FFV and so many more for multiple generations waiting for ports. Does that sound like a fan to you? So I'd likely speculate the JRPG fans that exist on XB likely already own PS and Nintendo systems to get that fix, or are very, very casusle to the point of missing those titles is a easy pill to swallow cause they are not THAT much of JRPG fans in the first place. Ask yourself this Dan.....what can I do to have you skip SMTV? Persona 6? lol Danjin44 said: Well Nintendo might not getting Persona but in my opinion they getting much better games, Shin Megami Tensei series. Click to expand... The persona series so popluar, I disagree on them getting the better games. Keep in mind, I'd say the reason behind those games being done the way they are with Nintendo and Sony has more to do with the Nintendo install base not really taking to mature content to the same degree as the PS install base. They did try with Persona Q and Q2 etc on 3DS and with Persona stirkers on Switch, like what you saw from Yakuza on Wii U, I think they will try.....then move on if they don't get a positive response. I do think you'll see Personas series on Nintendo in terms of mainline, no different then I think you'll see ports of SMTIV and V or some collection on PS and PC in the future based on how Sega ports stuff. A topic for a different day though.

I loved P5R, but it felt about 20 hours too long (and it was my first Persona game, so I didn't know I had to befriend a certain character to unlock the additional semester, which really sucked to find out after the fact). 4 Golden felt a lot more cohesive and while I think it overstayed it's welcome a bit (based on 5R and 4G, I think the series has a bit of a problem with not knowing when to end), it felt better than 5. I liked the small town ghost story feeling more than the big city of Tokyo. I think they're both incredible games though and it's quickly become one of my favorite series' since I played through P5R last summer. I really like Strikers too. I might give SMT another shot with V, but IV didn't really grab my attention and I only remember putting a couple hours into it. I like the slice of life aspect of Persona quite a bit, that's definitely my favorite part. If I could have that without the dungeon crawling, I would be 100% okay with whatever that game turned out to be.

They are all uniquely different in tone and characters, enough that they each stand out. But 4 will still forever hold a place in my gaming heart and the friends I made along the way. I bought a Vita just to play it, it was my first persona experience. Amazing game, but really shined as a hand held title. killatopak Member Aug 29, 2013 15,135 5,841 925 Jul 21, 2021 #27 P4G is my preferred game as well. I dunno. Maybe I’m remembering wrong but I found that the P4 gang spent more time together. P4 felt like they’re really great friends while in P5 it felt like they were partners. I think this is more because it takes a long time for the full party to get together. P4 was relatively faster. I also prefer the music in P4 although I kinda flip flop on that since I just like Jazz as a genre better. I think I laughed and felt great about P4 more than P5 but I guess it just goes with the theme.

Reactions: struggler_guts cireza Member Jun 1, 2014 9,358 9,053 770 Jul 21, 2021 #35 I don't think I could replay this game. The story and social features were nice enough to carry me to the end (I got seriously bored after a while though, and the new dungeon was absolutely terrible). Mechanics and level-design however were very poor. Tokyo Mirage Sessions is the opposite. I completed the game twice because it is its mechanics and dungeons that carry the game, so it stays entertaining even when replaying it. Reactions: borborygmus W wa600 Neo Member May 25, 2020 17 9 110 Jul 21, 2021 #36 P5 (didnt play royal yet) also did not grab me as much as P4 did. P5 started really strong with the kamoshida arc, but after that none of the other antagonists reached his level. I heavily missed the bonding between the cast that P4 offered. In P4 those characters really felt like a group of friends who enjoyed spending time together. In P5 it felt like almost all of the talk between the characters was just about what they had to accomplish about their next goal. Following the murder case was also way more relatable to me than what P5 offered. And normally its super rare that a single scene makes me want to shut down my console, but P5 did that: I really hated how they handled Spoiler: a certain character Akechi. After all what he did to you and in general the cast was way too friendly and understanding after your fight with him. Hated this so much. Overall P5 was still a more than great game that I enjoyed very much. But P4 will probably forever be in my personal top 5 games I played.

Only thing P5 does better is palaces, and not all of them are actually good. Just an opinion of course.

I played Persona 5 Royal last year, and I gotta say that I enjoy P4G more. Sure the graphics are dated, but for some reason I felt that P5R were much more busywork. It had more mechanics, longer dungeons, and a duller story. I never liked all the crap securing a route that took away 3-4 days of the calender. Here you can clear a dungeon on the last day. I also like the OST more in P4G. It is fantastic, and i never get tired of the overworld song. Dojima -> Sojiro Not only that but most of the cast is more likeble in P4G; in my opinion of course. That said, P5R is not a bad game at all, it is just that I realize that P4G gets the edge for me Click to expand...

I’m just starting second dungeon, and the chores/activities to do in order to level up, are starting to grate on me. It also feels like after every few days there is a new mechanic to track or learn. I’m trying to understand why this format is so popular and who the intended audience is. Real high schoolers, may be able to relate to some of themes, but the amount of effort needed, and dialog to track keeps breaking the pacing. I could see current high schoolers dropping the game. If it’s targeted to older grownups, it comes off a bit creepy. Especially with all the dating high school confidants that range from other teenage girls to more mature women like drs and teachers. Im going to press on though. H Hadoukie Member Aug 27, 2013 312 84 550 Jul 21, 2021 #48 P4 is my least favorite Persona.

P5 story is great(never understood the criticism made by a minority that the game is bloated, but alas), but there is something in P4 that just pleases me to no end. Having said that, P5 is a superior game to P4 in every possible way.Gameplay, dungeon, exploration, time management, etc.It is a masterpiece.

As I have been reading about the race to 5G and the push by the telecom carriers to access utility and other poles as expeditiously as possible to win the global race — all supposedly for the greater good of the country while providing broadband to rural America and winning the “Infinity War” of all things that could ever relate to technology, I thought to myself…hmmm. And then I remembered the song, “Things That Make You Go….Hmmm” by C+C Music Factory, released in 1991. Apparently, this song was an homage to a skit from the Arsenio Hall Show. But I digress, and I am dating myself… I guess what makes me go hmmm about the race to 5G (and all of its as yet unfulfilled promises) is the hhhype. Specifically: What, really, is 5G? Do we even have ubiquitous 4G service in this country? Or even 3G? Hmmm… Who are we racing and why? I have heard that we are racing the Chinese. But, last I checked, there are no Chinese telecom carriers or wireless providers in the U.S. I mean, is the assumption that the faster we roll out 5G, the faster our economy will beat the Chinese economy, even more than we are now (according to the IMF and World Bank, our GDP is about 35 percent higher than that of China)? The “race,” instead, seems to be between the carriers themselves, and these private corporations seem to want to put small cells on public and private poles, rights of way and streetlights for nominal fees and with little regard to other infrastructures’ needs, much less the needs of the consumers who are cross-subsidizing these attachments. Hmmm… Why is it okay for the Federal Communications Commission to allow private, multi-billion dollar, almost entirely unregulated companies to essentially “take” public and private property from local governments, utilities, and others? How is 5G an essential service more than electricity or water or critical local government service? Hmmm… When small cells (and cable and fiber) are put on utility poles by telecom and cable companies–with ridiculously low attachment rates in many cases–there is an engineering impact, yet when utility poles are downed by weather events such as hurricanes, who is held solely responsible and accountable for the restoration? Hmmm… How is 5G going to help rural America? The ostensible purveyors of 5G are small cells. Small cells are good for short-range service. Short-range service is not helpful in vast rural areas. Hmmm… Who is actually providing broadband service to rural America? Some rural telecom providers have made inroads, but when electric utilities also try to help bridge the rural digital divide by selling the extra bandwidth that they do not need for their internal telecom networks, or by themselves provisioning broadband externally to the unserved or underserved consumers in their electric utility service territories, the carriers fight them tooth and nail. But the carriers themselves clearly have chosen to ignore these areas for years. They don’t want to provide the service, but don’t want others to either. Hmmm… The bottom line is that some important questions seem to go unasked as the carriers go full throttle in their “race” to 5G. On another, less serious note, why do I think that the calories in Halloween candy don’t count? It is a lie. Hmmm…

Share 0shares Do you own Microsoft’s Surface Pro 4? If you do, you’re in for a real treat since the Redmond-based tech giant has released the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. The update is applicable for all devices that are running on Windows 10 but, if you look at the features that it brings, you’ll see that it’s highly suited for 2-in-1 computers such as the Surface Pro 4. One of the features that comes with the update is Windows Ink, which makes full use of the Surface Pro 4’s touchscreen capability. Windows Ink helps you find mobile applications (both built-in and third-party) that work with your stylus, which makes it easier to learn about the available apps and download those that fit your needs. It lets you jot down notes, reminders, and grocery lists with ease, create doodles on a sketchpad, and draw over screen grabs. It even has an intuitively designed ruler for when you need to draw straight lines. The Anniversary Update also brings along improvements for its digital assistant Cortana. You can now use it even without logging in, which means you can ask Cortana to set a reminder or play a song even when you’re in the lock screen. If you own or manage a business or work in a corporation, you’ll appreciate the Project to PC feature, which allows you to project what you see on your display through another computer. It’s a great way to let colleagues see a report, graph, or design without giving them access to its contents. If you frequently travel, you’ll love the Automatic Time Zone Setting, which automatically changes your device’s time zone as you travel from one country to another. The Windows 10 Anniversary Update can be downloaded through Windows Update. If you can’t wait for it to be made available for your Surface Pro 4, read this guide to know how to get the ISO.

A six-month stay on the International Space Station can be a pain in the back for astronauts. While they may gain up to 2 inches in height temporarily, that effect is accompanied by a weakening of the muscles supporting the spine, according to a new study. NASA In 1994, astronaut Mark Lee had his height measured by fellow astronaut Jerry Linenger as part of a study on back pain. Astronauts have been reporting back pain since the late 1980s, when space missions grew longer. Their flight medical data show that more than half of US astronauts have reported back pain, especially in their lower backs. Up to 28% indicated that it was moderate to severe pain, sometimes lasting the duration of their mission. Things don’t improve when they return to Earth’s gravity. In the first year after their mission, astronauts have a 4.3 times higher risk of a herniated disc. “It’s sort of an ongoing problem that has been a significant one with cause for concern,” said Dr. Douglas Chang, first author of the new study and associate professor of orthopedic surgery and chief of physical medicine and rehabilitation service at University of California San Diego Health. “So this study is the first to take it from just an epidemiological description and look at the possible mechanisms for what is going on with the astronauts’ backs.” Much attention has been focused on intervertebral discs, the spongy shock absorbers that sit between our vertebrae, as the culprit for the back issues that astronauts face. But the new study runs counter to that thinking. In this research, funded by NASA, Chang’s team observed little to no changes in the discs, their height or swelling. What they did observe in six astronauts who spent four to seven months on the ISS was a tremendous degeneration and atrophying of the supporting musculature in the lumbar (lower) spine, Chang said. These muscles are the ones that help us stay upright, walk and move our upper extremities in an environment like Earth, while protecting discs and ligaments from strain or injury. In microgravity, the torso lengthens, most likely due to spinal unloading, in which the spinal curvature flattens. Astronauts also aren’t using the muscle tone in their lower backs because they aren’t bending over or using their lower backs to move, like on Earth, Chang said. This is where the pain and stiffening occurs, much like if the astronauts were in a body cast for six months. MRI scans before and after the missions revealed that the astronauts experienced a 19% decrease in these muscles during their flight. “Even after six weeks of training and reconditioning here one Earth, they are only getting about 68% of their losses restored,” Chang explained. Chang and his team consider this a serious issue for long-term manned missions, especially when considering a trip to Mars that could take eight or nine months just to reach the Red Planet. That trip, and the astronauts’ potential time spent in Martian gravity – 38% of the surface gravity on Earth – creates the potential for muscle atrophy and deconditioning. The team’s future research will also look at reported neck issues, where there can be even more occurrences of muscle atrophy and a slower recovery period. They are also hoping to partner with another university on inflight ultrasounds of the spine, to look at what happens to astronauts while they are on the space station. Because nobody likes back pain and muscle loss, Chang suggested countermeasures that should be added to the already two- to three-hour workout astronauts have on the space station each day. Though their exercise machines focus on a range of issues including cardiovascular and skeletal health, the team believes that space travelers also need to include a core-strenghtening program focused on the spine. In addition to the “fetal tuck” position astronauts use in microgravity to stretch their lower back or alleviate back pain, Chang suggested yoga. But he knows that is easier said than done. “A lot of yoga depends on the effects of gravity, like downward dog, where a stretch through the hamstring, calf muscles, back of the neck and shoulders are possible because of gravity. When you remove that, you may not have the same benefit.” Any machines on the space station also have to be designed with regards to weight, size and even the reverberations they could produce on the station. NASA Scott Parazynski, who walked in space seven times, assisted with construction on the space station in 2007. Chang and the other researchers brainstormed with a virtual reality team about different exercise programs that would enable astronauts to invite friends, family or even Twitter followers to join them in a virtual workout, making the daily repetition of their workouts more fun and competitive. One of Chang’s teammates has felt this pain personally. Dr. Scott Parazynski is the only astronaut to summit Mount Everest. He experienced a herniated disc after returning from the ISS to Earth. Less than a year later, when he attempted to climb Everest the first time, he had to be airlifted off. After a rehabilitation process, he eventually made the summit. Now, he speaks to current astronauts about the ways they can contribute to studies about their health in microgravity. Follow CNN Health on Facebook and Twitter See the latest news and share your comments with CNN Health on Facebook and Twitter. Keeping the astronauts healthy and fit is the least they can do, Chang said. “When a crew comes back, they say on one side of the space station, they see this beautiful blue planet,” he said. “Everything they hold dear to them is on this fragile little planet. And they look out the other window and just see infinity stretching off into the blackness, and they come back with a different sense of themselves and their place in the universe. “All of them are committed to furthering space knowledge and making incremental steps forward in any way they can for the next crew.”

In May, 2021 I underwent stem cell treatment on my knee and lower back. In 8 short weeks I have had amazing results. Prior to my treatment I struggled walking more than a mile and had consistent discomfort in most daily activities. My lower back was so painful I was put on array of anti inflammatories that only masked my pain. I love the outdoors and being active. My lifestyle was changing and not for the better. I learned of Regenexx through my employer. I researched and after having 2 hip replacements a few years ago I thought this was a much better option to surgery if I was a candidate. I met with Dr. Torrance to discuss my options and so glad I did. He is brilliant, passionate & professional .Committed to his field and patients.I would recommend Regenexx and Dr. Torrance to anyone.read more Linds Mattes 21:08 27 Jul 21 I had a great experience with Dr Papas and the PRP treatment done on my knee, hip and shoulder (old sports injuries, tears on all of these areas).Dr Papas really listens and meets you were you are. I made him aware of the efforts and programs I was engaging in to help rehab from my injuries. I greatly appreciate that he partners with you to identify what level of support you need and doesn't just treat you like a statistics. I am in my 30s and weight 240, I had PRP done in May 2021.Now to the meat of it, I have/had lateral and medial miniscus tears on my left knee and was looking to having it scoped (I had already scoped my other knee which now has arthiritis). I also had labral tear and some damage to rotator cuff on my shoulder and hip labral tears. I did a lot of research and thought I give Regenexx a shot. I had PRP done previously by a knee surgeon but this was a completely different experience and it is all in the methodology.I was in constant pain on all three areas and had just learned to live with it. I wasn't expecting drastic response was just looking for some pain relieve. To my surprise my hip pain literally went away on day 1, like gone. Something that, IR, Red light therapy, cold lazer, PT, supplements had no impact on.As for my shoulder, this go me scared as I was in pain and had the shoulder popping for the first 4 to 6 weeks post procedure. Dr Papas warned me that this would happen but because of how good my knee and hip felt I was concerned that something had gone wrong. Week 7 all of the popping went away and pain was reduced by 70 to 80 percent.I don't usually give reviews but this has truly been life changing for, I was literally facing knee replacement surgery(yes you read that right). I had been wearing compression knee braces practically 24 hours a day 7 days a week for years and could not lay my leg straight without numbness and pain.I have not worn knee braces since I had the procedure done! I find it weird to walk around in shorts and to be able to see my knees rather than knee braces.I grew up playing sports and lifting, now that I am a parent I feared that I would not be able to coach and do what brought me so much joy with my kids. I don't feel this way anymore.Thank you, Dr Papasread more Albert Mojica 23:46 22 Jul 21 I had a great experience with Dr. Papas and the staff at Regenexx Tampa Bay! I sustained a hip labral tear and was able to get evaluated by Dr. Papas, and he recommended a PRP injection to heal the area. After the procedure, PT as well as OMT therapy helped me resume normal activities a few months later, and an ultrasound scan reveals the tear has completely healed. That would not have been possible with physical therapy alone, which is all my GP had recommended. I'm convinced that interventional orthopedics like the treatment I had from Regenexx are a far superior solution to the standard care options offered by most doctors. If you are considering surgery or other treatment for an orthopedic injury of some kind, I highly recommend reaching out to Regenexx for a consultation, because they may be able to help you get back to your normal activities faster, with better long term healing and much less pain.read more Heather Gordon 02:40 21 Jul 21 Expert and professional.

She gave me options on how we could do things and kept me distracted the whole time. She let me ask a ton of questions about my upcoming procedure and I was extremely pleased when I found out she would be there too. Once I returned for the procedure, I spoke with Dr Papas who also communicated with me throughout the entire process and made me feel as comfortable as possible in such a vulnerable position. He continuously asked how I was doing and updated me as to how much more we had left. Throughout the whole procedure Anna was there, being just as amazing and supportive. I had picked Regenexx for my procedure due to their extremely thorough consultation and beautiful offices. I dealt with Kimberly for the booking and payment process.

I workout regularly, BodyPump, spin and outdoor cycling. I went to Dr. James Leiber at Regenexx, Sarasota, FL and he diagnosed the problem and did two PRP (platelet rich plasma) procedures, a month apart. It got me back to the gym and cycling. This year, age 77, I thought I had injured a muscle in the same leg while cycling. Very painful, Dr. Leiber did an ultrasound, found some minor tearing, and ordered an x-ray and MRI. To our amazement, the original semimembranosis tendon injury from 2014 had completely healed, and the pain from recent cycling was just a minor strain which went away with a some rest. He is extremely knowledgeable, skillful, asks great questions, and listens. I am fortunate to have him as my go-to for problems like this.

The exam before the operation showed my rotator cuff was 90% torn. The exam also showed my right labrum was torn. The procedure was done in his out patient office. The operation was non-evasive (pain-free).I wore a shoulder sling for a few days then was given the go to take it off. I lifted my arm above my shoulders and there was no pain. For the next few weeks, I went to physical therapy to strengthen my shoulder and it wasn’t long before before my therapist excused me for everyday activities.I highly recommend Dr.James Leiber to you for any stem cell procedure that deals with any kind of possible orthopedic challenge you could be facing.

I am home recovering and healing nicely. I will return for my follow up this week to report all is going well. I have had three days of recovery and have only used Tylenol to keep the post procedure comfortable as I am healing. I can tell already that the mobility in my hands has returned.

Within a 3-year period, I’ve had multiple areas treated with stem cells, PRP, Platelet Lysate (for my back) and most recently my own fat.I started seeing Dr. Papas for OMT. In the process we discussed some pain I was still having with my hamstring, wrist and hip which was waking me at night. He suggested a fat injection for my wrist and hamstring and PRP for my hip. Ultrasound showed my hamstring had considerable wear. I had a 60 to 70 percent tear in my hamstring before having stem cells with Regenexx in 2018. OMT was for a rib sliding and irritating a nerve causing a sharp pain in my chest. Dr. Papas is such a skilled OMT provider and with adjustments and PRP injected where the rib connects to my spine to strengthen it, the sharp pain has eased off tremendously. I’m now over 6 weeks post procedures and 90% pain free!! No more waking at night from hip pain!It’s very comforting to know that I can have future problems treated by Dr. Papas. He’s earned my trust and he and his team make you feel as comfortable as possible before and during your procedure. He’s very knowledgeable and professional with a caring and calm approach. Takes time to answer all questions and explain procedures. I urge anyone considering orthopedic surgery or dealing with joint pain to see Dr. Papas first. It may not be covered by insurance, but I consider it an investment in my health both physically and mentally. And at 71, I want to stay as active as I can. I’m back to enjoying activities I thought I’d have to give up.

I've been an athlete all my life and have had the attendant injuries that come with sports. I'm still, though in my 60s, extremely active - surfing, snowboarding, basketball, wind and kite surfing, football, running, golf, tennis, and pickleball [and willing to try anything].

Simplification Is a Better Solution for Sales Tax Compliance View More Why Nine Justices? Court Packing's History and Future Since the country’s founding, presidents and congress have sought to shape the Supreme Court in their image.

The U.S. Supreme Court should review a Fourth Circuit decision impacting international “territorial” trademarks, Lutzker & Lutzker LLP attorneys argue. If left to stand, companies could face higher trademark search costs, consumers could see fewer choices in the marketplace, and underserved communities reliant on bilingual packaging could face product barriers, they contend. A key principle of trademark law is that trademark rights are tied to geography. So, to what extent can foreign trademark owners prevent registration or use of a mark in the U.S.? This is the question the U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to consider in Belmora LLC’s recently filed petition for review. The ongoing trademark dispute involves Bayer’s ability to prevent Belmora from using the trademark Flanax in the U.S. based on Bayer’s Mexican registration for the same mark and sales in Mexico of its Mexican-trademarked product. The case raises an important question of trademark territoriality that the Supreme Court has never addressed but is ripe for review—whether the zone of interests encompassed by Lanham Act Sections 43(a) and 14(3) extends to the foreign owner of a foreign trademark that has not registered or used the mark in the U.S. Fourth Circuit Decision at Issue Belmora, a small U.S. pharmaceutical company, owned a U.S. trademark registration for Flanax, under which it has marketed and sold its FDA-approved pain reliever medication in the U.S. since 2004. Belmora’s product is sold with bilingual packaging and labeling in neighborhoods with significant minority populations and Spanish speakers. Bayer purchased the rights to the Mexican trademark for Flanax in September 2005, under which Bayer continues to sell a higher-strength over-the-counter pain reliever called Flanax in Mexico. Bayer does not own a U.S. registration for Flanax and does not sell it to American consumers. Instead, Bayer sells its pain relievers in the U.S. under the Aleve brand. Even though Bayer does not own a U.S. trademark registration for Flanax and does not use or intend to use the mark in the U.S., it has been engaged in a decades-long legal battle with Belmora to stop its use and cancel its registration for Flanax in the U.S. based on its rights and trademark registration in Mexico. In 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled in favor of Bayer, holding that the Lanham Act does not expressly require use of a U.S. trademark in U.S. commerce to bring a claim for trademark cancellation or unfair competition. No Review Will Lead to Uncertainty Without the Supreme Court’s guidance, the implications of the Fourth Circuit’s decision raise significant legal questions and will create uncertainty among trademark owners and practitioners as to the scope of U.S. trademark rights. If the Fourth Circuit ruling stands, plaintiffs would no longer be required to own a trademark registration in the U.S. to bring a Lanham Act unfair competition claim and/or cancellation action against a U.S. trademark owner. Other courts will inevitably be confronted with this same question, and some will likely decide the question differently than the Fourth Circuit, creating further confusion and splits among the lower courts. Further, without clarification from the Supreme Court, this case will significantly change the way trademark attorneys advise their clients seeking trademark protection in the U.S. Trademark practitioners know that a trademark search is essential due diligence for any client. A search is typically targeted to the specific geographic area in which the client intends to use and register a mark. The Fourth Circuit’s ruling in creates a situation where clients may have to conduct a worldwide trademark search prior to filing a U.S. trademark application, or they would run a much greater risk of potential infringement liability based on foreign use. Where U.S. companies have been able to rely on the territoriality principle to restrict their trademark protection to the U.S., they will now have to consider foreign use as well. This is practically and financially infeasible for most clients. Multinational corporations may have allotted funds to protect their marks in various countries, worldwide searches are cost prohibitive for most clients. This leaves open the possibility for larger corporations with deeper pockets to take advantage of the erosion of the territoriality principle to monopolize certain marks and associated products by alleging cross-border harm. Smaller companies would thus waste time and money in establishing and protecting marks in the U.S. only to find themselves having to defend their use against foreign owners. Consumers, Underserved Could Be Harmed The uncertainty created by the Fourth Circuit’s decision, if left to stand, will also directly affect the general consumer. If foreign mark owners are allowed to prevent trademark use and registration in the U.S. without entering the U.S. market, it could not only drive business away from U.S. companies, but also suppress competition and give U.S. consumers fewer options. This is especially true for underserved communities who rely on bilingual packaging and who may face additional barriers as a result of anticompetitive efforts from foreign mark owners. Without guidance from the Supreme Court, the Fourth Circuit’s decision runs the risk of creating confusion and marginalizing consumers. The case has been distributed to the justices and is scheduled for the court’s Nov. 12 conference.

Peter Meinig is chairman of the Cornell Board of Trustees. His wife, Nancy, is a member of the Cornell University Council. The announcement -- complete with champagne toast -- was made by Skorton at the trustees dinner in Duffield Hall's Baum Atrium May 25. The Nancy and Peter Meinig Family Investigatorships in the Life Sciences will be highly competitive, taking into account the background, achievements, promise and proposed research agenda of faculty applicants. While the funding initially will be available to researchers at the Ithaca campus, it will be extended to researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College as matching funds become available. Meinig Investigators will receive 50 percent salary support, direct research support (amounts to be individually determined) and graduate student/postdoctoral support. Each investigator will have access to approximately $300,000 per year for five years. "We are now at a critical point in seeking support for the New Life Sciences Initiative," said Skorton. "At a time when Cornell is facing the prospect of as many as 600 faculty retirements over the next decade, and when competition for the best people to replace them is intense, the robust funding provided by the Meinig Family Investigatorships will serve to attract the very best life scientists, physical scientists, engineers, computer scientists and applied mathematicians to Cornell." The Meinig Investigatorships will add an important new piece to the overall life sciences initiative, said Skorton. Cornell's $650 million New Life Sciences Initiative aims to keep the university competitive in light of vast changes in genomics and interdisciplinary research. Some key pieces of the initiative include the Life Sciences Technology Building now under construction on Cornell's main campus; the creation of the Institute of Cell and Molecular Biology; and the hiring of the new institute's director, renowned biologist Scott Emr, who this month was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. Faculty members will compete for the awards annually through a senior scientific advisory committee. To fund five or more investigators a year for five years, an initial investment of $50 million in endowment funds will be required. "We have purposefully directed this gift at the very heart of our comprehensive campaign and at one of the priorities set by our great president, provost and our wonderful faculty," Peter Meinig said. "We want this gift to set an example for all who are [thinking], or soon will think, about their own contributions to Cornell at this very important moment in our history." He quoted William Wordsworth's lines: "Give all thou canst; high Heaven rejects the lore of nicely-calculated less or more." Added Nancy Meinig: "As many of you know, Pete and I were college sweethearts. ... Romanticism is what brings a couple together but realism is what sees them through. Our gift is the product of our romantic attachment to our alma mater as well as a realistic assessment of how much we could stretch to help Cornell remain at the forefront of research and teaching." The Meinigs are Foremost Benefactors of Cornell with a long history as university donors. They established the Meinig Family Professorship of Engineering and the Nancy Schlegel Meinig Professorship of Maternal and Child Nutrition. In 1998 the Meinigs provided program support for the Cornell National Scholars Program, which was renamed the Meinig Family National Scholars Program. The scholars program gift was particularly meaningful for the Meinigs because their daughters, Anne Meinig Smalling '87, Sally Meinig Snipes and Kathryn Meinig Geib, MBA '93, joined their parents in supporting promising young students at Cornell. The Meinig family gift was the largest up to that time for scholarships at Cornell.

It also takes into account its diversity and richness, which contributes to attracting more tourist movement. Also during the meeting, Youssef reviewed the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities’ current and promotional plan for Egypt, which depends on the use of advanced tools and methods, as well as effective marketing mechanisms. The plan aims to diversify promotion platforms globally, and works to shed more light on Egypt’s unique tourism and archaeological components.

In today’s ever-evolving workforce, lifelong learning is the key to gainful and fulfilling employment—which is why successful professionals are always on the lookout for quality continuing education, designed to drive career advancement. That being said, industry-relevant, post-secondary certificates are fast becoming the “new black” in professional development, at a time when employers and employees alike are increasingly focused on maximizing their return on training and tuition investment. In fact, studies show that certificates can indeed serve as a gateway to higher pay (as much as 25 percent), increased responsibility and greater job satisfaction—especially when provided by a highly regarded and regionally accredited university, with a vast network of industry partners. And online certificate programs offer a unique opportunity to fit professional development into busy schedules and workplaces, by making it possible to complete them from anywhere, at any time. So what are some of the advantages? Certificate programs provide a cost-effective fast track to career-building expertise For those who want to add a few more rungs to their career ladder, online certificate programs are a great way to master new skills for less money and in a shorter period of time. These programs require far fewer semester credits to complete than a full degree—typically between 12 and 18—which means they usually cost less, as well. On top of that, a growing number of them are now eligible for federal financial aid, which helps close the gap between tuition price and employer reimbursement. And while degree programs generally take a broad-brush approach to knowledge acquisition in a particular field of study, certificate programs (especially at the graduate level) focus more on specialized skills or areas of practice within a field. Thus, they are a credible and cost-effective way to score the right credentials for landing a job promotion or jumpstarting a different career path. Certificates zero in on industry-specific skills and standards Reputable certificate programs are generally developed in tandem with businesses, government agencies and professional associations. This approach helps ensure that coursework is closely aligned with ever-evolving industry standards, skills and technologies—a real benefit for employees, as well as their employers. For example, Drexel’s online graduate certificate in sustainable and green construction furnishes students with the requisite skills to develop and oversee environmentally responsible projects that comply with industry-adopted LEED standards for clean and renewable energy. As such, it’s a good career advancement choice for any professional in the building field—from architects to contractors to engineers. Certificate programs are developed with applied learning in mind Given their laser focus on building practical, real-world skills, certificate programs typically include some sort of experiential learning component. By the same token, well-designed online options incorporate an effective array of interactive technologies that provide students with ample opportunities to authentically apply what they are learning. Drexel’s online graduate certificate in forensic trends and issues in contemporary healthcare uses sophisticated simulations to reinforce course content, including a three-dimensional virtual crime scene—complete with numerous clues and continuous feedback—for conducting a vulnerability risk assessment. There are also realistic simulations that enable students to practice interviewing victims and offenders, along with a playback feature for reviewing and improving performance. What’s more, online programs furnish multiple avenues for connecting and collaborating in cyberspace with instructors who are experts in their fields as well as classmates, who are typically other working professionals. So in addition to acquiring marketable skills and worthwhile credentials, certificate completers have a ready-made global network of future colleagues and contacts as they move onward and upward in their chosen careers. Certificates can be the first step to a full degree Last, but not least, both employees and employers can get an even bigger return for their professional development dollars with online certificate programs that can be used as a stepping stone to full degrees at some point down the road. That’s why a growing number of institutions use this scaffolding approach, particularly when it comes to graduate certificates in healthcare, education, business and engineering and technology.

Courtesy of Jessica Serna Jessica Serna says she noticed her revenue lower by 20% through the begin of the pandemic. Mello believes that whereas lockdown clearly brought on many challenges for the influencer trade, it additionally accelerated the developments like “the demand for on-line programs, the necessity for extra genuine and actual content material on social media, the social obligation to make use of one’s affect to talk up about social and political points, the transition of retail to e-commerce, the transition to short-form video content material, and extra.” Caught at dwelling, Mello was “compelled to consider methods to future-proof my enterprise,” she stated, and assume outdoors the field. She did so by engaged on new ventures, like on-line programs to assist individuals develop their companies on social media and creating extra short-form video content material. Haldeman additionally tried out new issues, and “dedicated to studying as a lot as I might and enhancing my ability set to be higher at my job,” she stated. She threw herself into finding out, ending a course with the Wine & Spirit Schooling Belief and a certification program in worldwide tourism and occasions administration. “I simply tried to create as many positives as I might,” she stated. “It doesn’t matter what method they took, there was at all times somebody of their feedback part criticizing them for it.” Because the lockdown continued although, Mello realized she had a bonus. “Manufacturers shortly realized that they wanted to leverage creators to achieve their goal demographic greater than ever now that nobody was going to shops or billboards across the metropolis,” she stated. “I went from having all my contracts canceled, to getting a number of new ones suddenly a number of months later.” With the brand new model offers plus gross sales of her on-line programs, Mello stated 2020 truly ended up being her most worthwhile yr but, which she referred to as a “blessing in disguise.” Fairly quickly, a brand new query emerged: When ought to they get again on the highway? Every influencer stated she struggled with the thought of getting again on the market. They weren’t solely frightened about security, however about showing out of contact, even when they adopted all native security ordinances and acknowledged they had been keen to simply accept a stage of threat others will not be. “It has been attention-grabbing to see the broad vary of reactions journey creators have needed to this epidemic,” Sognonvi noticed. “Some selected to not journey in any respect. Others selected to do highway journeys solely, no flights. Some did home journey solely, no worldwide journeys. However what I seen is that it doesn’t matter what method they took, there was at all times somebody of their feedback part criticizing them for it.” Sognonvi and her household slowly started to enterprise out final July, first with a staycation in Manhattan, then a visit to Colonial Williamsburg. In her posts from the autumn, she emphasised how she believed that it is very important present how individuals might journey, giving her followers recommendations on issues like choosing a resort with correct security protocols and flying safely. “It is time to normalize conversations about methods to journey in a protected and accountable means,⁠ as an alternative of simply pretending that no person is touring,” she wrote in September. “That is about as efficient as pretending that youngsters aren’t having intercourse, as an alternative of teaching them on methods to do it safely.” Nonetheless although, her posts bought closely criticized by each individuals saying she wasn’t being cautious sufficient concerning the virus and people slamming her for acknowledging it in any respect. After Sognonvi posted a video on TikTok about how she believes households might safely journey to the Maldives, individuals accused her of “attempting to carry COVID there,” with one other calling it “not protected to put up.” Then, she stated, individuals began getting arguments within the feedback about COVID’s survival charge. “It was loopy to see how polarizing the subject of journey was,” she stated. At first, Serna had struggled to determine methods to hold her enterprise going, discovering that at-home content material she was making didn’t carry out as effectively. Nevertheless, over the summer time she and her husband started making native journeys, primarily open air, individuals started to reply. “We discovered that as a result of many individuals had their anniversaries, honeymoons, and many others., canceled that they had been wanting regionally and our web page and web site ended up seeing an enormous surge,” she stated. “As a result of our web page primarily focuses on native journey, it ended up being an necessary useful resource for our neighborhood, and by the top of 2020 it was certainly one of our busiest years but.” By 2021, she stated, that they had tripled what they had been making earlier than the pandemic. Courtesy of Carmen Sognonvi / Through TikTok/topflightfamily TikTok posts from Carmen Sognonvi. She stated she was stunned by how polarizing the response was to posts about her journey plans through the pandemic. Not all the influencers jumped again into touring, although. Haldeman ended up transferring to London through the pandemic to be together with her boyfriend (her visa simply occurred to return by throughout that point) and barely traveled in any respect, moreover a number of automotive journeys in between the UK’s lockdowns. To maintain herself afloat, she developed on-line programs to show others methods to navigate immigration points whereas touring, methods to be a digital nomad, and extra. She additionally secured model offers with wine firms after ending her WSET certification. “My mission has at all times been to assist individuals be higher vacationers and actually steer individuals away from irresponsible or insensitive journey of any variety, so I actually tried my finest to proceed to advocate for that,” she stated. “As an alternative, I attempted to concentrate on being optimistic concerning the future and planning for journeys down the highway.” She lately took her first large flight since COVID-19, to Greece earlier this month, writing on Instagram: “This one is for all my journey trade mates who spent the final yr on the bench. Right here’s to getting again within the recreation and again to work.” Looming over any plans, although, was backlash. Journey bloggers are already the main focus of a lot ire for his or her seemingly excellent and stress-free lives, and Mello braced herself for criticism when she made the choice to start touring once more after about six months grounded. (She stated she took precautions like getting examined incessantly, deliberate largely outside excursions, and solely stayed in inns with strict protocols.) To her shock although, her followers had been largely supportive of her determination to enterprise out. “I acquired 1000’s of DMs of individuals saying they actually wanted that recent journey content material to get them by lockdown and isolation,” she stated. “It gave them one thing to stay up for and gave them hope that perhaps the world would get again to regular sooner somewhat than later.” Serna stated that she didn’t expertise a ton of criticism both and that she believes being open about what precautions she was taking helped. “We tried to remain very clear with our neighborhood and since so many individuals might discover journeys that match of their consolation stage, we usually acquired constructive suggestions with little or no pushback,” she stated. “It is time to normalize conversations about methods to journey in a protected and accountable means,⁠ as an alternative of simply pretending that no person is touring.” Whereas Sognonvi stated she did obtain criticism, it was from each extremes. “As a result of our content material at all times had such a powerful emphasis on COVID-19 security, we truly caught simply as a lot flack from COVID deniers as we did from journey shamers,” she famous. Now that vaccines are making touring safer, it appears persons are feeling able to board a airplane once more. In response to statistics from a research referred to as the Coronavirus Journey Sentiment Index Report, half of American vacationers “indicated they’re enthusiastic about journey within the close to time period.” The CDC’s present tips recommend that vacationers wait till they’re totally vaccinated earlier than embarking on any journeys and proceed to put on a face masks on public transportation. Mello believes that journey influencers generally is a enormous a part of displaying shoppers they’ll journey responsibly and assist revive the trade so many individuals rely on. “I genuinely believed that it was potential to journey safely by getting examined and following masks and social distancing tips,” she stated. “And I wished to share that message with my viewers. Too many communities all over the world additionally rely on tourism, and the considered them struggling to place meals on the desk was actually tough for me.” Sognonvi agreed, saying that whereas journey influencers have at all times given their followers a window right into a jet-setting life, now they’ll make a giant distinction by serving to individuals really feel extra comfy with journey. “I believe individuals admire with the ability to preview what the expertise is like by seeing us undergo the method first,” she stated. For Haldeman, the pandemic has solely strengthened her resolve to share her love of journey with extra individuals, and make it extra accessible for all. “I did not hear anybody inform me they realized how a lot they really admire garments or materials issues,” she stated. “As an alternative, for many of us, it is being out on this planet collectively and connecting with one another in it. I do not assume any of us will ever take that with no consideration once more.” ● This story is part of the BuzzFeed News Travel Week series.

In the latest episode of the Porsche podcast, ‘9:11’, football’s Sami Khedira talks about his commitment to developing young talent and joins Olympic skiing champion Aksel Lund Svindal to discuss success, role models and coping in a crisis. add to media cart remove from media cart download print open close Facebook Twitter LinkedIn He is a German football world champion, but his heart beats for more than just one sport: as an ambassador for the Porsche youth development programme, Turbo for Talents, Sami Khedira has been passing on his experience as a professional athlete to young people since 2018. His contract with Porsche has now been extended by a further two years. "I am delighted that the opportunity is there. It's an honour for me to be part of the team," he says in the new episode of the Porsche podcast ‘9:11’. "Turbo for Talents is incredibly important because we can be role models. I think the programme has been a huge success so far and there is much, much more we can do." In the podcast, Khedira talks with former ski racer and Porsche brand ambassador Aksel Lund Svindal about the two sportsmen’s role models as well as having the right mindset for dealing with crises and success – on and off the field and slopes. Sami Khedira, Ambassador for the Porsche youth development programme "Turbo for Talents" "If you only have fun when you win something, then I don't think that's enough. You have to take the whole journey and enjoy it," says Svindal in the podcast. By "journey", the double Olympic champion and five-time World Champion means setbacks and the hard work that success naturally entails. In parallel to Khedira, about whom the football magazine "Kicker" once wrote: "There is almost no injury that Sami Khedira has missed in his professional career", Svindal’s great career was also marked by catastrophic falls and injuries. When it comes to fighting his way back to the top, Khedira explains his approach: "Having a goal, that's where I want to go – and then also setting intermediate goals. When do I want to run again, when do I want to get back on the pitch, when do I want to touch the first ball again? Find solutions, encourage your environment accordingly and also approach every day with this energy. Then you can really create something extraordinary." Aksel Lund Svindal, Porsche Brand Ambassador His is an attitude that both sportsmen have been living by during the COVID-19 pandemic. "Of course the situation is very tense at the moment. You have to do without many things," says Khedira. "But I have to look at it positively: I can achieve something new, which I didn't have time for before. You shouldn't just fall into self-pity and tell yourself I'm just at home, I'm not allowed to do anything. The positive mindset is the key." For Svindal, "development" is a key concept here: "A development is something that goes forward – learning something, doing something faster, bigger, just cooler. Development is something that is very important for all people. Success actually means that you've been given a challenge and you've achieved it – whether it's in your private life, in your family, in your own business or in sport." What else distinguishes successful athletes? What role models have shaped Sami Khedira and Aksel Lund Svindal? And what are their plans for 2021? If you’d like to find out, the Porsche podcast ‘9:11’ has the answers (English transcript available as download in the right column). Turbo for Talents – Porsche youth development Under the motto Turbo for Talents, Porsche is committed to supporting young talent in various sports throughout Germany.

As of 1 September 2018 the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emission values determined in accordance with the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those determined in accordance with the NEDC. Currently we are still obliged to provide the NEDC values, regardless of the type approval process used. The additional reporting of the WLTP values is voluntary. As all new cars offered by Porsche are type approved in accordance with the WLTP, the NEDC values are therefore derived from the WLTP values. To the extent that the values are given as ranges, they do not relate to a single, individual car and are not part of the offer. They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicles. Optional equipment and accessories (attachments, tyre formats etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics and, along with weather and traffic conditions and individual handling, can affect the fuel/electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions, range and performance figures of a car. You can find more information on the difference between WLTP and NEDC at www.porsche.com/wltp.

Premiere for Coco Vandeweghe and Karolina Pliskova: the American and Czech will on Sunday contest the final of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix for the first time. add to media cart remove from media cart download print open close Facebook Twitter LinkedIn In front a 4,500 crowd in the once again sold-out Porsche Arena, Coco Vandeweghe was a comfortable 6-4, 6-2 winner against the Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia. Karolina Pliskova also ended the sensational winning streak of the Estonian Anett Kontaveit at the 41st edition of the long-established Stuttgart tournament by exactly the same score. Clay is by no means Coco Vandeweghe’s preferred surface which makes it all the more surprising that she has progressed such a long way at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. In posting wins against the US Open winner Sloane Stephens, the world No. 1 Simona Halep and now Caroline Garcia in the semifinals on Saturday, she has been the nemesis of three Top 10 players in the Porsche Arena, but not only as she also ended Laura Siegemund’s hopes of a successful title defence. Such a winning streak is a real confidence booster. Against Caroline Garcia, the world No. 7 from Lyon, who knocked superstar Maria Sharapova out of her favourite tournament in the first round, Coco Vandeweghe went on the attack right from the moment play started – and clinched victory with her first match point after only 74 minutes. Vandeweghe won her first semifinal The ease with which she won her first semifinal at the long-established Stuttgart tournament led immediately afterwards to the question as to whether it really had been so easy as it had looked. “No, no, Caroline was a very tough opponent,” said Coco Vandeweghe, “I’m so surprised to have reached a final on clay.” The world No. 16 however does not feel the unexpected premiere will put her any undue pressure, “I’m not really thinking about things too much. Here it’s a bit like California back home on the beach. I just want to enjoy my time on court and drive off in the great car tomorrow.” Should she succeed, she will be the first ever American winner in the Porsche Arena. Her countrywoman Lindsay Davenport, the winner of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in 2001, 2004 and 2005, celebrated her victories in Filderstadt. Karolina Pliskova kept her chances of a maiden title in Stuttgart alive Like the New Yorker Coco Vandeweghe, Karolina Pliskova encountered few difficulties in keeping her chances of a maiden title in Stuttgart alive. The current world No. 6, who last weekend dashed Porsche Team Germany’s dreams of a Fed Cup final place when playing for the Czech Republic in the Porsche Arena, ended Anett Kontaveit’s impressive streak of wins. The surprise package of the tournament, the outsider from Estonian thrilled the Stuttgart audience throughout the week with her resolute game and performances. Ranked No. 31 in the world, she had shown little respect to top players like last year’s runner-up Kristina Mladenovic, but she was no match for Karolina Pliskova who did not drop a single point on her serve in the second set. “It’s going to be a close match” The strong-serving Czech, who was on court until past midnight in her quarterfinal match against Jelena Ostapenko, was happy at reaching the final – but she wasn’t satisfied with her game. “I was still tired and made too many errors at the start,” she said. “It was only at the end of the first set that I dug deep and found my game. For me, I was a bit out of sorts but It’s important that I can win such matches.” A preview of the final? “It’s going to be a close match. Coco has played many good matches and appears to be very self-confident. A good serve will be the key.” The prospects should not cause her to lose any sleep before the final. This season she has already hit 160 aces, more than any other player. Additionally, she played and beat Coco Vandeweghe 7-6(2), 6-4 last year at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix – but that was in the second round. Finals are normally completely different affairs. Doubles final includes Anna-Lena Grönefeld The doubles final at the 41st Porsche Tennis Grand Prix will include Porsche Team Germany’s Anna-Lena Gröenefeld. She and her partner Raquel Atawo (USA) will play Nicole Melichar (USA) and Kveta Peschke (Czech Republic).

As of 1 September 2018 the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emission values determined in accordance with the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those determined in accordance with the NEDC. Currently we are still obliged to provide the NEDC values, regardless of the type approval process used. The additional reporting of the WLTP values is voluntary. As all new cars offered by Porsche are type approved in accordance with the WLTP, the NEDC values are therefore derived from the WLTP values. To the extent that the values are given as ranges, they do not relate to a single, individual car and are not part of the offer. They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicles. Optional equipment and accessories (attachments, tyre formats etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics and, along with weather and traffic conditions and individual handling, can affect the fuel/electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions, range and performance figures of a car. You can find more information on the difference between WLTP and NEDC at www.porsche.com/wltp. Further information on the official fuel consumption and official, specific CO₂ emissions of new passenger cars is available in the “Guidelines on fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and power consumption of new passenger cars” [Leitfaden über den Kraftstoffverbrauch, die CO₂-Emissionen und den Stromverbrauch neuer Personenkraftwagen], available free of charge from all sales outlets and from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT). ** Important information about the all-electric Porsche models can be found here.

Tragic and surreal: A woman with a one year-old child in the back seat hits a security barrier at the White House and a Secret Service officer, then speeds off. Police chase her down some of Washington’s most famous streets. In a panic, she reaches speeds of 80 mph as she races toward the Capitol. At first it looks like she gets stuck with nowhere left to go. Officers surround her black coupe with their guns drawn, commanding her to stop. But she tries to escape and backs into a police cruiser, before pulling away in a frenzy. The police open fire, hitting her, and she dies. Police find the child – that they didn’t know was with her – unharmed after searching her car. They also discover that the woman was unarmed. The tragedy leaves so many questions open. What was her intent? Why didn’t she stop? What was she thinking? Did she snap? Bystanders captured the tragedy on their cell phones and posted the video to the internet. Some lawmakers took cover and sent out tweets. 2. THE SHUTDOWN The House comes down but not the ceiling: The federal government may not be hit with a double whammy on top of the ongoing shutdown, as House Speaker John Boehner told a group of fellow GOP legislators that he won’t let the nation default on its debt, according to a House Republican. Boehner said that he’d set aside the “Hastert Rule” – that Republicans would only bring measures up for a vote if they are backed by a majority of their caucus – and rely on Democrats to pass a measure to raise the nation’s debt limit, said the House member. This legislator attended a meeting involving Boehner, but requested anonymity because that gathering was private. Still, the shutdown remains.

Interstellar is a complicated film with the layers of real-world science mixed with a lot of mind-bending fictional narrative. There are some ambiguous elements in the film where I have attempted to fill in the blanks. It’s difficult to understand by many so I am trying my best to explain the Interstellar Movie. What is Michael Caine Plan A and B? Let’s start with the plans to save humanity as devised by Michael Caine, not the actor Michael Caine but the character he was playing though I’d imagine if Michael Caine had to devise a plan to save the earth it’d be pretty solid. So “Plan A” was to harness fifth-dimensional physics and use gravity in order to launch a space station or station’s big enough to transport the entirety of Earth’s population to safety, away from all the dirt the dying crops and a presumably angry redneck Casey Affleck who’s just shaking his fist angrily. As everyone leaves Michael Caine however believed that this method was infeasible but floated the idea in order to fund his actual plan “Plan B” to shoot a bunch of embryos into space in order to start a new colony from scratch. The first generation would be raised by the astronauts and the second generation would raise the third and so on the embryos were necessary in order to create genetic diversity and to avoid astronauts inbreeding that could result in Hills Have Eyes situation. The method of transportation to reach distant planets would come from a wormhole that allows people to travel across vast distances of space that would normally take thousands of years. That was placed there by a future version of earth civilization who had a full grasp of fifth-dimensional physics. Fifth-Dimension Scene in Movie The Universe and Blackhole As the movie not so subtly explains in order for it to work you have to imagine that everything exists on a 2nd plane. The universe then folds in on itself connecting to vastly distant points allowing an object to pass through almost instantaneously. Theoretically, it is possible that being said I have never done it so I can’t personally confirm it. Having sent though 13 astronauts 10 years prior the idea was to determine which of the 13 worlds they visited could be made habitable. Only three of them survived, the first of which visited a planet that’s home to about three feet of water covering most of its surface and waves that make that the perfect storm wave look. Because of the position of that planet in relation to the black hole time, there is distorted resulting in one hour on that planet’s surface to be slightly more than seven years of regular earth time which is why when Cooper and Anne Hathaway’s characters return to the orbit 23 years have been passed. Due to the interference of Matt Damon strand naught who was one of the original 13 who lied claiming his world was habitable and the revelation that Plan A was never actually meant to be feasible. Cooper and Anne Hathaway decide to jettison the excess weight of the ship in order to slingshot off the black hole so that they could reach the last known habitable planet the world where Anne Hathaway’s boyfriend would be waiting. Cooper jettisons himself and his Tetris block robot friend into the black hole in order to reduce the weight of the ship so this final trip can be made possible and this is where things get super weird. Basically this black hole was designed specifically for him and his daughter by people from the future as a means to communicate and save the human race using big rocket ships that of course was Michael Caine’s Plan A. But made possible with better science and love or something. Finally at the end Cooper is able to successfully transmit this information he’s jettisoned Alps on our side of the universe where nearly a hundred years have passed in our time. His daughter now likes super old is reunited with her father who is barely aged at all. She although happy to see him tells him to go implying that she’s made peace with his absence and she makes clear she’d rather spend her dying moments with her new and extended family. Cooper then leaves her knowing that she’s all grown up that he doesn’t have a place in her future family and that she just doesn’t need him anymore. Well Cooper now is going to visit Anne Hathaway who set up the colony herself or perhaps to just inhabit the colony and that’s is it Interstellar Explained.

Eugene, Oregon-based stoner and doom metal trio YOB have announced a slew of U.S. and European tour dates for late 2021 through 2022 — check out the full list of gigs below. YOB have also announced the release of a remixed and remastered version of their 2011 full-length album, ‘Atma.’ Guitarist and vocalist Mike Scheidt comments, “When we first recorded Atma, our aim was to have a raw production, lo-fi and punk, and we did get that sound. Over the years, though, we wondered what it would be like to have Billy Barnett remix Atma, allowing him to give it Gung Ho Studio’s scope and thunder, as he has on The Illusion Of Motion, The Unreal Never Lived, Clearing The Path To Ascend, and Our Raw Heart. Due to our busy schedules, this idea sat on the back burner but when the pandemic hit, we had the time to not only approach the project, but approach it with this goal: to keep everything in Jeff Olsen’s amazing raw-punch production while having Billy make it volume-wide and monolithic in detail and space. We’re thrilled with the result, and hope you will be too!” ‘Atma’ (Deluxe Version) is available digitally now, with the digital release featuring 10 tracks (the five remastered/newly mixed versions along with the original 2011 renditions). A series of 2xLP vinyl variants will release on April 8th, and are available for pre-order now, here. The variants are:

Six horses and seven AQHA members have been chosen for induction into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2022. The horses are Big Step, a 1956 sorrel stallion; Corona Cartel, a 1994 bay stallion; Easter King, a 1951 sorrel stallion; Impressive, a 1969 sorrel stallion; Sun Frost, a 1979 palomino stallion; and Topsail Whiz, a 1987 chestnut stallion. The individuals selected are 30-year breeder and horseman John Andreini of San Mateo, California; AQHA Past President Sandra Arledge of Encinitas, California; renowned owner, breeder and trainer James V.A. Carter of Clovis, California; advocate for youth and equestrians with disabilities riders Mary Hopkins of Vicksburg, Mississippi; longtime owners, trainers and exhibitors Walter and Nancy Hughes of Damascus, Maryland; and record-setting world champion Jerry Wells of Norman, Oklahoma. These deserving recipients will be inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2022. Big Step, a 1956 sorrel stallion, was bred by Blain Lewis of Patagonia, Arizona, and owned by Don and Virginia Wilcox of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Big Step was by Parker’s Trouble and out of the Charlie Hepler mare Little Bit L. Don Wilcox, a member of the ProRodeo Hall of Fame, bought Big Step in 1962 after a short career on the racetrack and pointed him to a new career as a sire of all-around horses, including point-earners in halter, reining, cutting, roping, racing, barrel racing, western pleasure and western riding. Big Step sired 18 open champions and 10 youth champions. On the track, Big Step sired nine race starters. In the show ring, foals sired by Big Step earned 14,101.5 points in a time when points were hard to come by. Big Step died in 1982. Corona Cartel was a 1994 bay stallion by Holland Ease and out of Corona Chick by Chicks Beduino. Corona Cartel was bred by Robert Etchandy and owned by the Corona Cartel Syndicate. He earned $577,142 and won three stakes races during his race career, including the Los Alamitos Million Futurity (G1) and Kindergarten Futurity (G2). He finished his race career with six wins and three seconds in 14 starts. At the time of his death, he had 1,862 foals registered from 21 crops, and progeny earnings of more than $62.8 million. He sired 1,069 winners from 1,542 starters, and 179 stakes winners. Corona Cartel died December 18, 2019. Easter King, a 1951 sorrel stallion by King and out of Gocha H by Cuate, was bred by Jess Hankins and owned by John Bowling. After a short career as a cutting horse, Easter King excelled as a sire. Offspring of Easter King have earned in excess of $20 million in National Reining Horse, National Cutting Horse and National Reined Cow Horse association competition. The daughters of Easter King have also proven to be great producers with offspring including such great horses as grandson Hollywood Dun It, who was inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2012. Easter King died in 1981. Impressive, who was bred by Perry Cotton of Pleasanton, California, and owned by Maurine Faulkner from Pass Christian, Mississippi, was known as a leading halter sire and world champion aged stallion. The 1969 sorrel stallion was by Lucky Bar 54 and out of the Lightning Bar mare Glamour Bars. In 1974, Impressive was the AQHA world champion aged stallion at the first AQHA World Championship Show. During his show career, Impressive earned 48 points and 20 grand championships. He sired 2,251 foals from 24 crops, and they earned 19,249 halter points and 5,628.5 performance points. He sired 23 open world champions, two amateur world champions and four youth world champions that won a total of 38 world championships. He sired 25 reserve world champions that won 28 reserve world championships. He died in 1995 at age 26. Sun Frost, bred by Stanley Johnston and owned by Cowan Brothers LLC, would show considerable promise as a young cutter, but even greater promise as a sire. The 1979 palomino stallion was by Doc’s Jack Frost and out of the Driftwood Ike mare Prissy Cline. Sun Frost became the head of a broodmare band rich in the blood of the Stanley Johnston-bred horses. By the mid-1990s, Sun Frost was one of the North Country’s most celebrated sires, thanks to his progeny French Flash Hawk and Frenchmans Guy. Sun Frost sired the earners of more than $2.2 million and is the grandsire of the earners of more than $14 million in barrel racing, roping, cutting and reining. Sun Frost died in 2007. Topsail Whiz, by Topsail Cody and out of the Cee Red mare Jeanie Whiz Bar, descended from a lineage of sires that greatly impacted the sport of reining. Bred by Tom and Susan McBeath and owned by Bob Loomis, the 1987 chestnut stallion boasted nearly $50,000 in National Reining Horse Association lifetime earnings. The stallion’s top finishes in the show pen included third place in the 1990 NRHA Open Futurity, fourth place in the 1991 NRHA Level 4 Open Derby and the champion title of the 1991 NRHA Level 4 Open Lazy E Classic. In 2018, Topsail Whiz became the first NRHA $12 Million Sire and was the AQHA leading reining sire from 2002 to 2009. The stallion also continues to impact the sport as the sire of broodmares, having sired the mothers of performers with more than $6 million in earnings. Topsail Whiz, who was inducted into the NRHA Hall of Fame in 2002, died in 2009. AQHA 30-year breeder, horseman and AQHA Director Emeritus John Andreini became involved in the horse industry in 1965 when he was invited to a trail ride. In his own name, Andreini raced the earners of more than $2.1 million, plus more in partnership, including champion Jumping Tac Flash ($147,065). He bred the earners of more than $6.9 million, including, among others, top runners like Volcom ($430,433) and Deefirst ($319,029) and AQHA Dam of Distinction Jusjumpin. Andreini was the founder, chairman and CEO of Andreini & Co., an insurance brokerage he established in 1951. He served the racing industry in many capacities, including as a leader in the Pacific Coast Quarter Horse Racing Association and a partner in entities such as the Los Alamitos Equine Sale and Ruidoso Downs. After his death in 2018, a special racing recognition award, the John Andreini Special Recognition Award, was renamed in his honor. AQHA Past President Sandra Arledge of Encinitas, California, has a long history with horses. From serving as an AQHA director since 1997 and elevated to director emeritus in 2011, to owning and operating Sandy Arledge Quarter Horses, her commitment to the American Quarter Horse is evident across her career. She has served on the membership, shows and professional horsemen, judges, stud book and registration, and Hall of Fame selection committees. Arledge also served on the nominations and credentials committee and served as the committee’s chairwoman in 2010. She has bred and trained numerous AQHA world champions and reserve world champions, in addition to being named the 2010 AQHA Professional Horsewoman of the Year. She was inducted into the Pacific Quarter Horse Association Hall of Fame in 2015. Arledge was elected to the AQHA Executive Committee in 2011 and served as the Association’s president in 2016. James V.A. Carter spent the 1940s on a ranch in Shaville, Oregon, near the Idaho border. He bred Moon Deck to his band of Barred and Midnight Jr mares to create horses that could run faster and further, including Top Moon. He eventually left the cattle business to focus on raising fast horses. He then moved to Clovis, California, and was a leading trainer on California tracks while running only horses he bred and raised. Many of Carter’s horses are still found in racing pedigrees today, including 2008 champion racing 3-year-old Heartswideopen who traces through her dam, Dashing Phoebe, to Top Moon. AQHA judge, trainer and advocate for youth and equestrians with disabilities riders, Mary Hopkins, better known as “Miss Mary,” is best known for her service, philanthropy and charitable efforts. She was Mississippi’s first youth adviser, taking youth to the first AQHJA World Championship Show in Amarillo and has volunteered with the Dixie National Livestock Show and Rodeo as manager and show secretary. She became a judge in 1975 and judged many prestigious shows, including the International Summer Special Olympics in 1991 and 1995. Hopkins has been called the “First Horse Lady of Mississippi” and in 2015 helped guide the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Dixie National. Trainer and judge Walter T. Hughes and wife Nancy of Damascus, Maryland, saw themselves as ambassadors for AQHA and for the American Quarter Horse breed. Walter served as an AQHA director from 1971 until 1995, serving on the youth, membership, Hall of Fame and judges committees. He also served as chairman of the AQHA Judges Committee. Nancy served on the American Quarter Horse Foundation Committee and Council for many years. Through their travels, they served as exemplary AQHA ambassadors and assisted in the development of international growth and awareness of the American Quarter Horse and were recognized as lifetime achievement recipients from the AQHA Professional Horsemen’s council. As breeders, they were accredited with Skips Dilly and Brio. All-around hand and competitor Jerry Wells was born in Sulphur, Oklahoma, where in his early teens he discovered a knack for handling horses. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, his farm was breeding 750 mares a year, and he and his wife, Betty, were among the nation’s elite owners, trainers and exhibitors. In AQHA competition, Wells won 61 world championships, one of them in tie-down roping, a record that stood for many years. He showed Kid Meyers to AQHA’s first open Supreme Champion title. Wells was a 20-year breeder. Horses bred in his own name earned 1,523 points and three reserve world championships. As an exhibitor, Wells earned 2,148 points in halter and 130 points in tie-down roping.

Search Print Back to project page ClimaViet Dissemination Dissemination Photo: NIBIO Published: 09.10.2017 The dissemination of project results will be targeted using various methods to deliver scientific results in simple language that stakeholders can understand. Dissemination of project results will be targeted using various methods (policy briefs, technical briefs, fact sheets in local language, training courses, focus group discussions and stakeholder workshops) where attempts will be made to deliver scientific results in simple language that stakeholders can understand. Such methods have been used in earlier projects shown to be successful. Innovation in this project will stem from the active engagement of scientists, policy makers and the public – the latter including both stakeholders, farmers, women/water users – into different (but comparable) case studies of participatory scenario-building. This will facilitate to develop and analyze alternative scenarios concerning the impacts of climate change on rice production in the selected areas and develop policies to avoid or mitigate these impacts. VAAS with its mandates on providing comprehensive vision, strategic direction and oversight of research and development programs will ensure to bring the project results to the upper level authorities in time. Also, with its advantages of networks diversity in terms of its research and extension agencies, its long time partnerships with relevant authorities, and especially, local ones, the dissemination of project results would be secured to reach the end-users in the right manner.

There have been a lot of discussion about "Trenberths missing heat", e.g., see "Examining Trenberth’s ‘The heat will come back to haunt us sooner or later’ statement". What it is all about is that in the global energy budget there is approximately 0.8 W/m2 missing to confirm the AGW hypothesis based on CO2. (Picture linked from US National Science Foundation) After careful investigation I have today, April 1, 2011, found where the heat is! The explanation is a rather simple Y2K problem showing up in Trenberths calculations. As you all know, there are 365 days every year, except for every four years which has 366 days. Except that there are exceptions to first exception. Please consult Wikipedia's page about leap year for the details. The problem that has happened in Tranberths calculations is that from 2000 and onwards, he has forgotten to add the leap days to the leap years. Not a big deal? Actually it is. The energy that heats the earth is approximately 1366 W/m2, see Sunlight. The increase in energy when adding the approximately 0.25 days per year is thus: 0.25/365. This result in the total change in the energy budget with 1366*0.25/365 which is approximately 0.94 W/m2. It could possibly be that the year 2000 is correctly handled in Trenberths calculation and thus the difference will be lower. In any case, this difference is well within the estimation error done by Trenberth. Thus, the missing heat has been found to be a simple calculation error for leap years following the year 2000. Personally I think this is a disaster. This actually shows that the AGW hypothesis has been correct all the time but the calculations have been incorrect. Until today, I have always thought it was the other way around, i.e., the hypothesis is incorrect since it could not be possible to do simple calculation mistakes with the huge amount of review each climate science paper must undergo. Not to forget all "skeptics" that would do anything to find the smallest of errors in any paper.

During the event, I was reminded of the impact the Pacific Citizen newspaper -- which is sent bi-monthly to every JACL member as well as subscribers -- has had over the decades, and the role it has played as a lifeline of news and information not just to JACL members but to anyone interested in news about Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. (JACL, the Japanese American Citizens League, is the oldest Asian civil rights organization in the U.S.) The first reflection of the PC’s impact were the panelists: Gwen Muranaka, English editor of the Rafu Shimpo in LA, Kenji Taguma, editor of the Nichi Bei Weekly in San Francisco, Shigeharu Higashi who runs the Cultural News website and monthly newspaper in LA, and George Johnston, a Rafu columnist who has launched a news website called Nikkei Nation. Of these four, Muranaka and Johnston both worked for the Pacific Citizen. Harry Honda, the walking encyclopedia of Japanese America, JACL and the PC, was in the audience. Many of the audience members have been reading the PC all their lives. The PC is, after all – especially for people who live away from the West Coast and don’t have easy access to the Rafu, Nichei Bei or other papers – the only national news source about us. For members, it’s often the most visible connection to JACL and a regular reminder of our support for this important organization. Read More Copyright 2017 Gil Asakawa. All Rights Reserved.

We're not great at getting the vote out, we don't participate as much as we could at the grassroots local level, and not enough Asian Americans run for and serve in elected office. A lot of that is cultural -- many of us are raised with the admonition: Don't bring attention to yourself. Don't make waves. The nail that sticks out gets nailed down (a particularly vivid Japanese saying that my mom has used on me). This logic steers us away from public career fields such as news media (oops, sorry, screwed that one up, mom) and politics. Given the range of offices and opportunities, relatively few AAPI politicians have national profiles. They include former Congressman and Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta, Former washington Governor Gary Locke, Congressman Mike Honda of California, current Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, Illinois Veterans Affiars Director Tammy Duckworth, Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawai'i, Senator Daniel Akaka of Hawai'i... OK, Hawai'i skews the curve. But Louisiana, which is probably not on most peoples' list of Asian-rich states, now boasts two AAPIs in nationally notable positions: Bobby Jindal (left) is the country's first-ever Indian American Governor, and as of last weekend, Ahn Joseph Cao (above right) is the country's first Vietnamese American Congressman. The kicker: both are Republicans, which really shouldn't surprise anyone but still has some people pondering the preponderance of party affiliations among the Asian American community. Jindal, for one, was one of John McCain's possible choices for running mate, and he's been touted as a possible presidential candidate for 2012, given his moderate social agenda and conservative fiscal outlook. Cao fled Vietnam during the Saigon with his mother (his father was imprisoned by the Viet Cong for seven years) with the wave of "boat people" refugees, and managed to defeat an incumbent Democrat in a Democratic stronghold district. Read More November 1, 2008 As the long campaign comes to a close Erin and I have seen Barack Obama speak three times. We were at Invesco Field for the climactic speech he gave during the Democratic National Convention in Denver. We were in the audience for his interview with CNN during the Unity Conference of journalists of color in Chicago in July. And, almost two years ago, we attended a rally in Aurora, Colorado, we were entranced by his public-speaking ability when he stumped for Ed Perlmutter, the Democratic Congressional candidate in our district. That was months before Obama officially announced his intention to run for President of the United States, but Erin knew right then and there she'd vote for thr guy. I held out for some months, cynically thinking that because of his race, Hillary Clinton would be the more likely Democrat to win over voters. How wrong I was. We met Ed Perlmutter the other day, when he and San Jose Congressman Mike Honda, a leader among Asian American pols, came to Sakura Square in downtown Denver, campaigning on Obama's behalf (Perlmutter is also on the ballot, but although he wasn't leaving anything to chance, Erin and I had honestly never even heard of his GOP opponent). The two men were in the area trying to ignite interest for the election in the Asian American Pacific Islander community. Read More Copyright 2017 Gil Asakawa. All Rights Reserved.

We've seen the Mudra troupe perform at all but one Colorado Dragon Boat Festival, so we're not strangers to the talent of this remarkable South Asian organization, and to Nariani's determination to stretch the artistic limits of traditional, classical Indian dance with contemporary aesthetics that rise above ripping off the hipness factor of Bollywood musicals with some shallow syncopated moves. but to see the Mudras dance a 30-minute set is one thing. The three-hour artistic tour-de-force that is their big blowout performances is something else entirely. Read More Copyright 2017 Gil Asakawa. All Rights Reserved.

nmrshiftdb2 is a NMR database (web database) for organic structures and their nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectra. It allows for spectrum prediction (13C, 1H and other nuclei) as well as for searching spectra, structures and other properties. The nmrshiftdb2 software is open source, the data is published under an open content license. The core of nmrshitdb2 are fully assigned spectra with raw data and peak lists (we have pure peak lists as well). Those datasets are peer reviewed by a board of reviewers. The project is supported by a scientific advisory board. nmrshiftdb2 is part of the NFDI4Chem initiative and will provide a component for a curated repository there. Please consult the documentation for more detailed information. Problem of the Month - May 2021 Which molecule is this? See our Problem of the Month presentation to find out. Quick Check Check your assignment here View Problem of the Month archive from 2020 View old Problem of the Month archive News about nmrshiftdb2 NMRium project Tue, 13 Jul 2021 16:37:02 -0000 nmrium is a sister project of nmrshiftdb2. It is a web-based visualizer and editor for 1D and 2D NMR spectra. On the website, you can already test 1D and 2D NMR functionalities like peak picking, integration, assignment, and more, without installing software, completely in the browser. A close integration with the next version of nmrshiftdb2 is planned. Raw data in downloads Wed, 24 Mar 2021 21:10:39 -0000 We have added links to the raw data to the downloads, where raw data are available. In the sd files, there is an additional tag rawdata, the NMReDATA file has the link in the Spectrum_Location, and the cml files have an attribute rawdata in spectrum. This all is only the case if there are rawdata. We currently have more than 500 spectra with raw data for 1H and 13C, and about 300 2D spectra of various nuclei. The raw data so far were available only via the web interface. Downloads are back Wed, 10 Mar 2021 12:59:54 -0000 It turned out that due to a size limitation on sourceforge's svn, the download of the full data no longer worked. We have changed that to a file download, the new links are on the help page. For interested developers, the svn repository still exists and can be used. Only the http download is affected by the limit. nmrshiftdb2 in identifiers.org Sat, 01 Aug 2020 22:21:52 -0000 nmrshiftdb2 entries can now be resolved using identifiers.org. The prefix is nmrshiftdb2 and the id is the molecule id. For example, the identifier nmrshiftdb2:234 identifies the first entry in NMRShiftDB. A link via identifiers.org would be http://identifiers.org/resolve?query=nmrshiftdb2:234 New person in charge of "Problem of the Month" Sun, 22 Dec 2019 14:55:53 -0000 We are pleased to announce that from 2020 the section with NMR challenges, 'problem of the month', will be developed and maintained by Dr. Rainer Haessner (Technical University Munich). He will be happy about feedback and suggestions. NMReDATA in nmrshiftdb2 Mon, 09 Sep 2019 16:13:27 -0000 A paper with complete NMReDATA assignment and nmrshiftdb2 deposition was published as part of the integration of the NMReDATA standard and nmrshiftdb2. The dataset can be found here. It contains raw data as well as peak lists. Notice there is also a DOI for the dataset, namely 10.18716/nmrshiftdb2/60004113/nmredata_mrc_cd3od. The nmrshiftdb2 entry links back to the paper, and the paper gives the nmrshiftdb2 entry. An NMReDATA file and NMR Record can be downloaded. Prediction using deep learning techniques Wed, 04 Sep 2019 11:16:46 -0000 We have a new prediction mechanism available, using deep learning techniques. It should offer improved results - see the paper for details. The prediction is available on the Prediction tab by choosing the methos "13C NN" or "1H NN". Currently it is a bit slow due to the way it is integrated, this will hopefully be improved soon. Data from ChiuZ Wed, 08 May 2019 10:09:53 -0000 nmrshiftdb2 contains structures published in the journal 'Chemie in Unserer Zeit' as part of a series on extraction and spectroscopy of natural products. The corresponding raw data as well as assigned structures are available. The compounds can be found here. DOIs (digital object identifiers) are assigned to these datasets. For example, data for Quinine are identified by DOI 10.18716/nmrshiftdb2/60004827/chiuz_cdcl3. Developer position available Sun, 23 Dec 2018 15:58:06 -0000 We have funding for further development of nmrshiftdb2, with a focus on the user interface. Therefore we have a job opening for a developer. If you are interested in working in an international open science environment, you find the announcement here NMReDATA export Mon, 23 Apr 2018 11:56:55 -0000 The QuickCheck now allows for export of the assigned data in the NMReDATA format.

VCS3 advert This is the synopsis of the video: Post-war Britain rebuilt itself on a wave of scientific and industrial breakthroughs that culminated in the cultural revolution of the 1960’s. It was a period of sweeping change and experimentation where art and culture participated in and reflected the wider social changes. In this atmosphere was born the Electronic Music Studios (EMS), a radical group of avant-garde electronic musicians who utilized technology and experimentation to compose a futuristic electronic sound-scape for the New Britain. Comprising of pioneering electronic musicians Tristram Cary (famed for his work on the Dr Who series) and Peter Zinovieff, EMS’s studio was one of the most advanced computer-music facilities in the world. EMS’s great legacy is the VCS3, Britain’s first synthesizer and rival of the American Moog. The VCS3 was a uniquely British invention, which changed the sounds of some of the most popular artists of this period including Brian Eno, Hawkwind and Pink Floyd. Almost thirty years on the VCS3 is still used by modern electronic artists like Aphex Twin and Chicken Lips. What The Future Sounded Like uncovers a group of British composers and innovators who harnessed technology and new ideas to re-imagine the boundaries of music and sound. The documentary places the emergence of EMS in the larger context of 60’s post-war Britain, with its focus on “space age” technology and the advent of the counter-culture. A must-see for everyone interested in the history of electronic music and electronic music devices! If you want to know more about EMS and their activities and products after viewing the documentary, check the 2 part article series of Sound-On-Sound on the history of EMS. And EMS still exists!

The Crowdchoir project was an experiment in crowd-sourcing by Soniccouture, a company specializing in sampler VSTI’s : they asked people all around the world to each sing one note from a 3 octave range. Then they layered these recordings in a sampler to create a unique vocal sound – a wash of different voices in different rooms in different countries. The project was a great success according to Soniccouture: over 1000 people contributed to a final total that exceeded 4000 different notes. The instrument is now finished, and can be heard and bought on the Soniccouture web site. It costs 20,- Euro and all profits from Crowdchoir sales will be donated to The Red Cross by Soniccouture.

With classics like Paprika and Perfect Blue under his belt by the mid-2000s, his psychedelic, deeply unsettling animated worlds were rightly considered some of the most impressive and internationally impactful of the entire industry. He was halfway through the production of his latest movie, Dreaming Machine, when he died after a short bout of pancreatic cancer, and I’m still genuinely gutted that he’s not around to keep making his utterly singular movies long into his career. I came to his work relatively recently, after his death, and his cinematic legacy is still an extraordinary thing to behold: if you’ve yet to explore his movies, they’re an absolutely unique experience, deservedly iconic in their trippy, unsettling strangeness. Dreaming Machine, especially, seemed like a really interesting endeavour for Kon – he pitched it as a “fantasy-adventure targeted at younger audiences”, the first of his movies that would be explicitly appropriate for audiences not of able-to-access-adult-therapy-classes-required-to-cope-with-his-films age. Though not much is known about the plot, Kon also revealed that the movie would have no human characters, and instead would follow three robots, Ririco, Robin, and King, on what he described as a kind of robot road-trip. Dreaming Machine was Kon’s follow-up to perhaps his best internationally-known movie, Paprika, and the title alone seemed to tie it in to at least some of the same themes that he covered in that neo-noir-ish sci-fi classic. The storyboard and script had been completed at the time of Kon’s sudden, tragic demise, and one of his final requests to Mayoa Maruyama, the director of the Madhouse animation studios where Kon’s talent had been fostered over the course of the preceding two decades, was to ensure that the film was finished. In a blog post published shortly after his death, Kon expressed his fear that the movie would remain unfinished: “When I told Maruyama-san about my concerns about Dreaming Machine, he just said, “Don’t worry. We’ll figure out something, so don’t worry”…I wept. I wept uncontrollably.”. Kon also admitted in that blog post, which is a genuinely heartbreaking but also deeply heartfelt read about a man, his art, and his life in the face of death, that his singular vision might have left the staff he worked with unable to carry out exactly what he had imagined. So much of the movie had existed with him, in him, that he was concerned that it might never take shape outside of him. And, with the community and the studio left reeling after Kon’s death, Maruyama seemed set that he wouldn’t let that happen. In early 2011, a few months after Kon’s passing, Maruyama revealed that the movie had been put on hold due to financial difficulties, but that he still intended to get Dreaming Machine made and released within five years. Susuma Hirasawa, the musician from whose song the movie had taken its name and whose work had been a huge influence on Kon’s own cinema, released a new version of Dreaming Machine, recorded just weeks prior to Kon’s death. The composer also spoke of his dedication to the unfinished film – “we must carry out his dying request, to complete this work, even without a director to question”. Everyone wanted to see Dreaming Machine brought to life, a passion project and final tribute to the absurdly brilliant Kon and his art. But the issue became finding someone who could live up to Satoshi Kon’s iconic reputation. Kenji Isoto, one of the leads working on the film, revealed in 2014 that he was taking a break from Dreaming Machine to work on another project, and shortly after Kon’s death, Muruyama left Madhouse to start MAPPA, another production company. The five-year anniversary of his passing came and went, and, due to a myriad of financial difficulties, Dreaming Machine remained unfinished. But it wasn’t just the money that was an issue for Dreaming Machine – Muruyama spoke in 2016 about the state of the film’s production, and revealed that he had come to the decision not to pass off his storyboards and the work on the film so far to another director; “Dreaming Machine should be Kon’s movie, him and only him, not someone else’s. That means we cannot and should not “compromise” only to finish it. I spent years, finally reached this hard conclusion”. It’s honestly a decision that I understand. Kon’s work was so utterly singular and unique that to ask someone to pick up where he left off seems almost cruel. The pressure of completing Kon’s last film, despite his commitment to seeing it made, is something that I can’t imagine any director wanting to take on – what if you messed it up? What if the film, that already sounded quite different to Kon’s other work, just didn’t match up to his oeuvre? While it’s deeply sad to think that Kon didn’t get to see this last wish fulfilled, in some ways, releasing Dreaming Machine feels like, to me, an end to his work, and, selfishly, I’d prefer to leave it open a little longer. Though the studio has not ruled out the possiblity of a director picking up the movie in future, at the moment, Dreaming Machine stays as it is – unfinished, but Kon’s. His art was so unique and utterly his that, in some ways, it feels right that Dreaming Machine remains Kon’s work, even if it never fully sees the light of day. A few completed scenes from Dreaming Machine are set to appear in a French documentary about Satoshi Kon’s life and influence on the industry, though I couldn’t for the life of me find a release date, and a handful of promotional stills from 2009 hint towards the movie’s robot protagonists against another one of Kon’s hyper-detailed sci-fi backdrops. In an excellent interview with Dazed, Maruyama admitted that Dreaming Machine had been “frozen in time”; a time before Kon’s loss, a time when he was still the venerated, vital creative force in the animation and movie industry that he should have rightly been for decades to come. But maybe that’s not fair. Kon is still that force in the industry, even ten years after his death, and it’s hard to imagine that he ever won’t be. His impact on anime, on animation, on cinema at large really can’t be understated. And more than that, it was what gave him joy when he was alive – in his final blog post, he said simply that “Satoshi Kon was happy as an animation director”, and I think that passion, that joy comes through in all of his work, his detail-orientated brilliance, not a metaphorical animated hair out of place. Released or not, Dreaming Machine is surely an extension of that joy that he brought to his movies.

It’s a shame that he died way too soon since I know he would’ve made more great movies. I’ve liked all of his works and he was certainly an innovator. Even Hollywood rips off his stuff like how Inception stole from Paprika for example. If only Dreaming Machine would’ve been complete with Kon still alive and at the helm.

Hi everyone. I have been thinking of my son and what would happen if for some reason I die early. I don’t plan to, but who the heck knows what Fate has in store. Having a kid, and running a nonprofit, makes you think about your own mortality a lot. So I wrote him a letter. I am posting it here so that it doesn’t get lost. If Fate doesn’t want me around, please make sure the baby gets this some time. Dear Son, By the time you read this letter, I am probably no longer around, and you’ll probably have a hover board and a flying car. That would be awesome. No, not the part where I’m no longer around, but the part about the hover board. If time machines have been invented, please bring me back a hover board. Your mother and I have had you for two months now. I still remember when we were waiting for you to arrive, anxious to meet you. One day you had the hiccups, and I rested my hand on your mom’s stomach and could feel you jolting every few seconds. Despite all the ultrasound pictures we had of you, you had always seemed distant to me, like a baby unicorn, cute but mythical. But with every jolt of your tiny body, it became clearer and clearer to me that you were real, and that you would be here soon, and that I would get to hold you and sing to you and watch you grow, and maybe use you as an excuse to avoid many, many evening meetings in my nonprofit work. The past two months have been more difficult and wonderful than I could imagine. I stare at your hands and feet and can’t believe how tiny they are. We have been sleep deprived and exhausted and smelling like spit-up and hand sanitizer, but there are moments—when you smile or talk or fall asleep on our chest or shoulders—when your mother and I just stare at you and selfishly wish for you to remain this small forever. The other day, when you were soundly sleeping, you started laughing, and I wondered what you were dreaming about. You’ve been appearing in my dreams a lot, probably because I’m thinking about you all the time now. You were about one, and I was holding you, and you got distracted and started squiggling around and tried to climb down the bed. You were too small and the bed was too high and you were afraid to let yourself drop the four terrifying inches down to the floor. You looked up at me with your big liquid eyes, and at that moment, like any good father would, I ignored your plight and frantically tried to find my phone to take a picture of you. Not all the dreams are as happy. Recently I dreamt I had a terminal illness and only a week left to live. I was sad, one because I would not get to continue watching Game of Thrones, a great television series that I hope you will get to enjoy when you’re old enough, like 30. And two, because I would only have a week left to get to know you. In my dream, I sat down and started to write a letter to you listing out some important life lessons I wanted to teach you, hoping that you would read it one day and know that your father thought of you and loved you more than Game of Thrones, more than the Walking Dead or Arrested Development, more than his own heartbeats, which he needs to watch his favorite shows. Yes, your father sometimes refers to himself in the third person; all fathers must refer to themselves in the third person when they’re writing these types of letters to their children. You’ll understand one day when you have your own little ones. I woke up from that terrible dream and was happy that I had more than one week left to live. But then I thought of how ephemeral life is. Any of us can go at any time. I should write you a letter any way, just in case. This is supposed to be a private letter to you, and that’s why it’s so long, but your mother and I have poor record-keeping skills, so I am hoping one of my friends on my nonprofitwithballs.com blog will be able to pass this on to you should anything happen to me. My son, these below are the lessons that I want to pass down to you. These lessons are not original. I’ve learned them from many people, especially in my work in nonprofit, which has some of the coolest people ever, in case you ever decide to go into this field. Through experience and sometimes painful failures, I have found them to be helpful to live by. Depending on when you read this letter, they may not even apply to you at all. I hope you will read this from time to time, and maybe it may make better sense at different points in your life. Read once a while and let these principles guide you to a long and meaningful life that I wish for you: Never judge anyone for anything ever. Unless you are in the same context, with the same upbringing, the same genes, the same brain structure, unless every atom of your existence is the same as theirs, you have no basis to judge most people. Try not to judge anyone. Even people who create stupid commercials, like those Subway commercials with the annoying adults with kids’ voices, what the hell were they thinking? Also, people who don’t know how to correctly use “literally.” They say ridiculous things like “that meeting literally made my head explode.” It’s easy to judge them, but try not to, since it doesn’t make you any happier in the long run. Always assume the best intentions in people. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Some people will prove to be unpleasant to deal with and you will encounter many, many people that you will just want to punch in the mouth, but most people are good, and we all have bad days. Don’t burden yourself too much being angry at people and thinking they intentionally mean to hurt you. Most people are also just trying to make it through the day, to get home to their family and a cold drink and their favorite TV show, so if they cut you off in traffic or bumped into you on the sidewalk, they probably didn’t mean it. Find beauty and humor in the world around you. Sure, it’s really crappy sometimes, with bad things happening to good people all the time. But like Don Quixote said, “When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? To surrender dreams, this may be madness…Too much sanity may be madness! But maddest of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be.” This is one of your father’s favorite quotes, and I hope that you will always try to see life as it should be. Never think you are above anyone. No matter how successful you are, a major part of your success is the context of your existence. You are born to us, including a very cool dad, in this country, and we are lucky to have so many rights and privileges, but you could have been born elsewhere under different circumstances, and your fate may have been completely different. Be thankful, and never look down on anyone. Never think that you are beneath anyone. By the same measure, never think that you are beneath anyone. It is normal for you to go through a period where you see others being more successful than you, and you may feel like crap when you compare yourself to them, especially when your family is all like “why aren’t YOU a successful real estate investor like your brother or a doctor like that Nguyen kid?” Use others’ success to motivate you, but again, everyone’s circumstances are different, so comparisons are often meaningless. Be thankful, work hard for what you believe in, and don’t waste time with self-pity. It is not talent or genius that leads to success, but hard work and perseverance. 95% of the time, those who have C+ talents but A+ perseverance will always be more successful than those who have A+ talents but C+ perseverance. Pursue your dreams, pursue them hard. You will face countless rejection and failure and naysayers who naysay things like “Vu, a teeth lacquer-tattoo business is a bad idea,” but keep trying, because the road to success is littered with geniuses who give up. Follow your life’s passion, but give back to your community. While you pursue your dreams, don’t forget that you belong to a community, a society. You will never achieve happiness, even if you achieve your dreams, unless you contribute back to the world in some way. Volunteer. Donate. Join a nonprofit board. Help your friends when they’re moving. Always keep your word. Few things build respect as quickly and consistently as when you do what you say you’ll do. Not just for the big stuff, but also for the small things, like when you say, “I’ll send you that recipe” or “we should get coffee, I’ll email you to arrange a time” or “I’ll drop by your office with Season 6 of Burn Notice.” We have too many let’s-get-coffee’s that never lead anywhere. Your word is your promise. Never promise anything that you do not plan to follow up on. Acknowledge people. Everyone has an important story that you can learn from. Try to learn people’s names and their hopes and dreams. You may forget, and that’s understandable, but try to really “see” the people around you: your family, friends, co-workers, teachers, bosses, but also your mail carrier, neighbors, waiters, grocery baggers, bus drivers, etc. Be genuine and present when you talk to anyone, no matter if you will encounter them again in your life or not. Don’t be restricted by labels: The world is complicated, and we are tempted to categorize ourselves and others: Democrats, Republicans; Male, Female; Gay, Straight; Orange juice with pulp, orange juice without pulp. But the world and you are much more complex and interesting than that. Try not to label others, and apply labels to yourself only if you find them helpful. Otherwise, explore the awesomeness of life and existence and do what makes your life meaningful, as long as you don’t hurt others. Never be too certain of anything: Life is full of uncertainty, and reality is weird and unpredictable, and that’s what makes it both terrifying and interesting. If you become too certain of anything, you may close yourself to the possibilities that may exist. Keep an open mind; listen to others’ perspectives. Otherwise you become that annoying know-it-all that no one really wants to hang out with. The right things to do are usually the hardest: For example, getting up to go to work, apologizing to someone you wronged, calling up your parents and asking how they are when you just want to go partying with your friends in college, not taking that fifth glass of red wine at an annual fundraising dinner. Try to always stand up for what you believe in, and always do the right thing, even if it’s uncomfortable, even if people dislike you, even if they think you’re an idiot. It is always better to be an idiot who did the right thing. One person can make a difference: Never listen to anyone who tries to convince you that the things that you are trying to do is too big and that you are just one person. It always starts with one person, who through courage and perseverance inspires another person, who inspires another, and so on. That is the only way things happen. Always do the right thing, even if you are the only person doing it. You can get a lot of things done if you don’t mind who takes the credit: I know very few people whose life goal is “to get a lot of credit for doing something.” The people you should get to know are those whose goals are to achieve something, to change the world for the better somehow. The argument over who gets the credit can oftentimes be distracting or even destructive. Fame and approval should be a bonus, or the tools for achieving your goal, not the goal itself. This can be a hard lesson to absorb, but I’ve learned it works well when everyone buys into it…Of course, there’s a limit to this, so if anyone continually steals your credit and it distracts you from your goal, don’t hesitate to kick ass. Never forget your family and heritage. Our family has gone through a lot—several wars, countless heartbreaks. Your paternal grandfather was sent to reeducation camp. Your paternal grandmother pedaled her bicycle for 30 miles each day to sell grains and feed your aunts and uncles and me. I’m sorry that you never got to meet her, as she would have loved you more than you can know. They, and your mother’s side of the family, have gone through things that you and I can only imagine. These things, and our families’ tireless perseverance, led to me and to your mother and to you. For whatever reason, you are born to us. Learn where you come from, and as much as you can keep and pass down your heritage. You will go through some times when you are frustrated at your family. It’s OK. You can love people, and not like them from time to time. But just remember that no one loves you more than your family. Be generous with yourself and others. You will make mistakes, and so will others. Your father has broken many of these rules that he has written down here in this letter to you, and likely he will do so again in the future. He has screwed up lots of times. You will also screw up from time to time. Learn from your mistakes, and forgive yourself. Try your best to be a good person. Don’t expect perfection in yourself or others. Appreciate the little things, the small moments, in life. Finally, the last lesson I want to make sure to pass down to you, is also one of the most important: Don’t take the details for granted. The little things, that’s what life is made of. I was visiting Brandon Lee (son of Bruce Lee)’s grave, and this was carved on it: “Because we don’t know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that’s so deeply a part of your being that you can’t even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.” (Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky) I have known of this lesson, but only in the last couple of months having held you and gotten to know you and getting spit up on by you, that I really understood it. I have learned this lesson from you. I have learned that time does not stand still. I start thinking of how many more times I will get to hold you and read to you and swaddle you and rock you to sleep on my shoulder and place you gently down in the baby swing. Soon you will be walking and talking and going to kindergarten and getting your first job and going to high school and entering college and experiencing your first heartbreak, hopefully in that order. I am writing this to you on my first Father’s Day, and you are only two months old, but if you are reading this, then you are already much older. We may have already gotten into arguments about how dangerous hover boards are. You may have already run away from home once or twice and stowed-away on a shuttle to the moon colony or something. You may already have been embarrassed multiple times by your dad showing up in his beat-up hydro-powered car to pick you up from your underground school, spouting some stuff about social justice and cultural competency. I do not know how many more Father’s Days we will have together. If Fate is kind, it will give us our afternoons, and the twenty or so times where we can watch the full moon rise. I would like that very much. And hopefully I will be there when you have your first little one. If Fate is not so kind, if my life is cut short for any reason, I want you to know that your father has had a good life so far, made much more complete now that he has held you and listened to you laugh in your sleep, and that he loves you more than he ever thought he could love anything.

Imagine yourself standing of a cliff that like a pillar rises from the sea, imagine the wild storms that roars the ocean shores, imagine yourself swallowed by the great nordic waves of old. Here lies the solitary nest of ”Drengskapr” - the second craft by the wayward and self-willed Swedish artist PANPHAGE and the tale of Grette Asmundsson. PANPHAGE who with his past releases has shown a rare way of interpreting Swedish folk music with a significantly wild and furious blackened metal. A unique force that will tell us to affirm the wilderness within us and release our inner walls in order to embrace the ways of the primitive past.

Email Address Lucharito’s Greenport decked out for the village’s Winter Wonderland and Design Contest. (Photo Credit: Courtesy of Lucharitos) As the weather outside gets more frightful, we become more prone to something not-so-delightful: Cabin fever. This year, cabin fever may be even more prevalent as we continue to isolate — after already limiting gatherings and outings for the last several months. But there’s a safe way to beat cabin fever: A daily walk. Even as the trees sit bare and the water in our favorite beaches and harbors gets too cold to talk about, Long Island still finds a way to sparkle in the winter. Villages, farms and mansions get all dressed up for the holiday season. Beaches and harbors, while chilly, are quieter, providing a peaceful respite from screens and the reality of life as we currently know it. Consider this guide both a roadmap and Rx for banishing winter blues. Greenport Village Greenport gives walkers a quaint village and waterfront oasis. The storefronts will be all dressed up and ready to go this year — the Village is holding its Winter Wonderland holiday walk and design contest through the end of the year, and you’re allowed to do your best Heidi Klum impression as a judge. Guests will vote for their favorite storefront and be entered to win a raffle of gifts from village merchants. After casting your ballot, stroll down to Mitchell Park to see the iconic carousel (festively decorated, though currently closed due to Covid) before heading to the harbor. It won’t be alive with boat parties, but the ability to hear yourself think makes up for the lack of people watching. Greenport’s harbor is quieter in the winter, but no less beautiful. (Photo credit: Sara Austin) Cupsogue Beach County Park, Westhampton Beach Seals love a good Long Island beach day — just not when the tourists and locals are sticking their toes in the sand. And each year, the Coastal Research and Education Society of Long Island (CRESLI) invites Long Islanders to see some of our chubby seasonal residents. Take an easy 1.2-mile walk around this beach until May and see if you can spot a seal or two. Both adults and children are welcome — and everyone should bundle up! You might spot a seal on your on walk at Cupsogue Beach County Park. (Photo Credit: © Arthur H. Kopelman, Ph.D. for CRESLI) Port Jefferson Village This waterfront village is a short ride from the North Fork and provides a similar bucolic feeling. The area offers two connected but distinct backdrops. The first: The village itself. The Main Street and side streets are home to a multitude of mom-and-pop shops and restaurants, like Tiger Lily, Toast and Pasta Pasta. Although the town’s annual Charles Dickens Festival has been called off in favor of a few more low-key holiday events, you can still expect wreaths and strings of lights to line the streets and shop and restaurant windows. A stone’s throw from Main Street, the harbor reminds us every day can be a beach day on Long Island. It’s peaceful in the winter, save for the ferry to and from Bridgeport. Suffolk County Farm and Education Center, Yaphank For the first time, this South Shore farm will transform into a Winter Wonderland in December. A lit pathway will lead visitors to the farm, where they’ll see Almshouse Haybarn, festively-adorned with lights. Other photogenic displays to look out for during your walk will include a giant tractor decorated with a wreath and farm animals all dressed up. You can stroll through this display Nov. 28-29, Dec. 5-6 and Dec 12-13. Advanced registration is required. Montauk State Park A trip to “The End” seems an appropriate wrap up to a tough year. Aside from the lighthouse — a national historic landmark and favorite backdrop for Instagram photos — the park is home to a beach. Getting down to the water involves a steep downhill climb, but once you’re there, it’s an ideal spot to walk, skip stones or just sit and stare a while. If the weather cooperates, consider a picnic. You’ll get something you can rarely find at this spot on peak summer weekends: Solitude. A winter sunset at Montauk lighthouse. (Photo credit: Creative Commons) Babylon Village Babylon Village’s Main Street and Deer Park Ave. favor small businesses over large chains, giving it an air of local charm and pride. Walkers can window-shop at places like Pandemonium and Thistle & That and enjoy a warming drink at wine bar Barriqque‘s outdoor seating (weather permitting). Lake Argyle sits at the end of Main Street, and there’s a pretty path around the water. Walkers may want to wear something cozy: There’s often a cold breeze in chilly weather, but the air also just feels fresher by the water, and, when not frozen, the steady ripple of the water makes for a serene soundtrack.

Nonetheless, your website had been majorly changed in 2012.

“In the 1980s, art and culture made fundamental contributions to the social and political change with which Slovenia entered the last decade of the second millennium” Neue Slowenische Kunst played a radical and leading role in this charged time. A highly complex and multi-faced organization, its impact extended beyond the subculture of 1980s Slovenian scene to the whole of Eastern Europe. And further. In revealing the archive of Neue Slowenische Kunst, we give to the public the opportunity to experience the vibe that the collective brought to UK, the feelings instilled in the audience and the response provoked within the cultural scene during those years. This, through the selection and display of significant items from the Neue Slowenische Kunst archives in Slovenia and the David Gothard archive in London. In fact, in 1980s, Gothard was uncovering contemporary culture in Yugoslavia and bringing it to the attention of audiences in London and UK. And it was in London that I came across a box of material from Slovenia almost two years ago. The resurfacing of the Slovenian archive in London started with the meeting with David Gothard. Knowing that I was based in Ljubljana, he shared his memories related to Slovenia. During long conversations, we proceed in unearthing deep connections between London and Ljubljana. And, right after, Gothard revealed the presence of an archive contained in a box labeled ‘The Slovenian Box‘. We came up with the plan to organize and file his box, containing mostly Neue Slowenische Kunst items from the 80s. The research that followed put in context the content of ‘The Slovenian Box’. Slowly we uncovered, shaped and presented the stories which form the history of Neue Slowenische Kunst. The research developed as proper fieldwork in Ljubljana, where most of Neue Slowenische Kunst archives are located. Through meeting with Laibach member Ivan Novak, I gained access to Laibach Kunst archive at MGLC International Centre of Graphic Arts. IRWIN archive was collected in AVA Academy of Visual Arts, where IRWIN’s member Miran Mohar and the Academy director Pepi Sekulich gave me the opportunity to be based and where from that moment on I have been collecting new material that enriched the archive. The search on New Collectivism, coordinated with Darko Pokorn, took place in his studio, which houses a systematized archive. I acquired further information on Scipion Nasice Sisters Theatre during intensive meetings with Dragan Zivadinov, held either in his studio or in Modern Art Gallery. Building a net with the former members of Neue Slowenische Kunst enhanced the understanding of past events. The priority was to define and classify an archive. But curating an archive enables its transformation from what could be describes as a collection of items to a revealing body of knowledge. And so, the archive was exhibited in London, at Chelsea Space, giving the start to a series of successful events on Neue Slowenische Kunst that shaped new interest and enthusiasm around the collective and its powerful presence in the cultural and political scene of the Eighties. Exhibiting archives helps all the actors involved – artists, archivists, curators, publics – to reconfigure meanings in the contemporary. It happened in London. And since every place and space has its own specificities, Station Center for Contemporary Art Prishtina represents a new call and challenge for the Neue Slowenische Archive. In Prishtina, particularly dear to David Gothard, the archive meets new cultural and political specificities and originates, a new, different interpretations and questions. ‘The Slovenian Box’ is brought again to life and speaks loudly.

Multi-party computation (MPC) allows for parties to calculate outputs without sharing individual inputs. Think of an election: Everyone wants to know the results, but the votes need to remain private. From an original use case involving the sugar beet industry in Denmark to contributions in areas including opioid drug abuse, pay equity, medical data sharing and more, MPC appears to be an increasingly valuable cryptographic tool. Related start-ups are launching, academic papers are proliferating and many businesses are taking note, or should, if they haven’t already done so.

But the ‘dog has something going for him–he can crack a bit. The 19-1 Dominican boxer has 13 KOs, and he can beat PBC B guys…but will have trouble against anyone B plus and up.

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday at the Liacouras Center: JULIAN WILLIAMS “This is going to be an exciting night of boxing. I don’t need to say too much, but I’ll definitely let my hands do the taking for me on fight night. “I’m preparing myself to face a tough good fighter and I’m preparing myself for a win. This is a great opportunity to put on a show right here in Philadelphia. “I know this is extremely significant for my community, but I’m so locked in on the fight, I haven’t been able to really think about it too much. On Monday I’ll be able to think about the significance, but none of it will affect me during the fight. “I’m thankful to be in this position to bring my titles back to my city, but I’m not thinking about it or letting it distract me from Rosario I’m locked in on fight night and having my hand raised. “There must be something in the water here in Philadelphia. There’s so many great champions from here. Philadelphia is small too, but there’s a long line of history and it keeps getting passed down from generation to generation. I’m just happy to be one of them. “I’m all about setting goals. That’s how you keep moving forward. My goal was to become the world champion. That was my goal since I was a kid. I achieved that and now I created new goals. I’m just as hungry now as I was when I first started this sport. I can see these next goals in front of me now. “He keeps saying we’re going to have a war, because he can’t do anything else with me. There’s nothing in the ring he can do to bother me. I’m coming to step on him. I’m coming to dominate and win in spectacular fashion.” JEISON ROSARIO “Hello Philadelphia, I’m excited to be here for this fight. This is an opportunity I’ve been working so long for and I’m going to take full advantage of it. “I feel strong and confident. There’s no pressure on me and I’m very motivated. This is nothing new for me, coming to my opponent’s backyard. I haven’t fought in my home country yet, so this won’t phase me at all. “When I had my loss, that was when my career really started. That was a different stage of my career. I’ve gotten better and better and this fight is really the first time I’ve had a full training camp for a fight. I’m excited to show everyone my improvements. “I’m coming for war. That’s my mentality. I don’t have a prediction. I’m going to give it my best and give everyone a war. At the end of the day, I’ll have my hand raised. “I had a great training camp and I’ve worked hard from even before we knew we had this fight. I knew that one day my opportunity would come. This is what we’ve waited for. “I’m ready to leave it all in the ring. We trained every day so we I know exactly what I have to do when that bell rings. His fans can’t fight for him, so there’s no way he will beat me.” CHRIS COLBERT “I always work hard. This is just going to be another day for me. I’m one of the baddest young fighters out here, and I’m going to show it Saturday night. “Corrales had a world title before and he’s not getting it back from me. I’m sending him back to Panama empty handed. “I bring the style and the flair and you’ll see it all on Saturday. I’m going to be put on a great performance and become WBA champion. That’s the plan. “Saturday night is just another fight for me. I have to do what I have to do. Belt on the line or not. I don’t feel like there’s anything he can bring to stop me. I bring the speed, the power, and I’m smart. Nothing he’s doing can stop me. “I feel like I was more about punching and moving before. I would punch and move at the same time. I always knew I had some type of power from sparring. But I’m sitting down on my punches more to make sure that these guys respect me. I have to go in there and show him what I’ve got. “I love the bright lights. I played football before I boxed and I always wanted to be a star. I’m going to go out there show the world why I call myself ‘Prime Time’. I’m looking to steal the show. That’s what I’m going to do come Saturday night.” JEZREEL CORRALES “I’m grateful to be here in the United States fighting on this great card. I’ve had a great camp and I’m moving forward and working hard to make the most of this opportunity. “I have all the equipment and all of the tools I need to fight him and beat him. I know that he’s a great fighter, but so am I. I’m going to come out of this with the belt. “We’re leaving it up to fate now. We worked hard and we’re ready to put on the best performance of my career. “I’m not worried about any of his trash talk or anything he says up here today. We’ll settle it in the ring with our fists.” JOEY SPENCER “I’m super excited to be here. I’m happy to be fighting on Julian’s card and to be here with so many great fighters. Last year was great, and I’m looking forward to my 10th win on Saturday. I’m planning to make 2020 even better. I worked hard all year last year and I’m looking forward to it paying off. “I can’t wait to put on an exciting performance Saturday night. I don’t have any pressure on me. The only expectations I’m trying to keep are from my family and the man upstairs. I just train hard year round, we don’t take any breaks. We’re always training and I’m ready to go in there and show off. “I would say this is the year where I become a contender. I worked hard last year so that I’ll be a contender by the end of this year. I’m ready. We’ve worked on a lot of things and this year I’m hoping to show that and shine starting Saturday night.” ERIK SPRING “I want to thank my team that helped me get this fight against Joey Spencer. It’s a great opportunity for me. Saturday night I’m going to pull of that upset. Don’t miss it. “The odds are what they are. I prepared and had a solid camp. People think I’m an underdog but I think I’m the big dog. Come Saturday night we’re going to see. “I don’t know if Joey has faced anyone like me. We’re going to find out in the ring because I’m ready to do anything it takes.” Related Topics:featuredJ Rockjeison rosarioJulian williams Up Next MONEY MATTERS: Mayweather Is THE BOXER Of the Decade Don't Miss The Last Word (Hopefully) On the Alejandra Jiminez Issue Michael Woods Editor/publisher Michael Woods became addicted to boxing in 1990, when Buster Douglas shocked the world with his demolition of the fearsome Mike Tyson.

When well-brought-up young women used to come to New York to live, many of them hopped in cabs and headed straight to 140 E. 63rd St. The building that occupied the corner of East 63rd and Lexington Avenue was the Barbizon Hotel, standing 23 stories high, with 700 guest rooms. More legend than simple address, the Barbizon acted as a sort of upscale dormitory, a gilded safe space for women looking to make their way in the big city at a time when most women were getting married young and having children, not launching careers as models, editors, secretaries and actresses. “The Dollhouse” by Fiona Davis (Dutton) The hotel opened its doors in 1926, billing itself as a “Club Residence for Professional Women,” and while it operated in that capacity until it began admitting men in 1981, its heyday years were from the 1920s to the mid-’60s. Its guests were a veritable who’s who of famous women before they were famous: Grace Kelly, Joan Didion, Cybill Shepherd, Candice Bergen, Joan Crawford. The building is landmarked, so the pink brick facade and terra-cotta detail outside remains, if little else. There used to be a cafe on the ground floor, where J.D. Salinger used to lurk, hoping to get a glimpse of one of the Eileen Ford models that lived in the building (the modeling agency rented out two whole floors). There’s now an Equinox. But while practically everything else about the building has changed in the years since it stopped operating as a hotel in 2005 and was turned into upscale condos under the name Barbizon 63, there are still 10 female residents who recall the days when women were sent back to their rooms to change if they tried to leave the hotel wearing pants. Grandfathered in due to rent-control laws, some of the women have lived in the hotel for 40 or 50 years. A new novel called “The Dollhouse” by Fiona Davis brings the former hotel to life, telling the story from the viewpoints of two women who lived in the Barbizon in the 1950s and 2016. From left, Cybill Shepherd, Joan Didion, and Grace Kelly all resided at the Barbizon before becoming famous.Getty Images; AP; Bettmann Archive “The juxtaposition between old New York and new New York just seemed like a great setup for a novel,” Davis tells The Post. “There are books written about the hotel, but it was more knowing that these women had lived through so many changes.” While it is fiction, Davis did a lot of research when writing the novel and interviewed several former and current residents of the hotel. (When Davis e-mailed one of the former residents to ask if she remembered how much the rent was when she lived there, the resident replied graciously, “I’m sorry, I don’t, because as was the tradition of the day — my parents were sent the bill!!”) “The women there were a mixture of smart, independent and fierce women in one building.” “I did find a New Yorker ad from 1966 that listed the weekly rent as $6.75,” Davis says. Ironically, one of the best-known residents is the one who only lived there for a month. Sylvia Plath resided there during her Mademoiselle guest internship in the summer of 1953 and would immortalize it as The Amazon in her classic novel “The Bell Jar.” While her stay was short, it’s the troubled poet, who would commit suicide in 1963, that probably contributed the most to the Barbizon mystique. The Barbizon has always been a fashion favorite; think sepia-toned pictures of women in pillbox hats and gloves, “Mad Men,” remade as Elegant Women. But for Davis, the fascination went further than just the glamour factor. “The idea of single young ladies coming to New York to be an editor or model or [work in] publishing — this hotel gave them a launching pad where they could be safe but have independence,” says Davis. “And a lot of women were searching for that same thing. You look back in history and see how hard it was at that point for a woman to break out, especially when everyone back home is getting married and having babies.” The Barbizon Hotel, pictured in July, on 140 East 63rd St.J.C. Rice That’s not to say that convention was flouted at the Barbizon; quite the opposite. There was a lengthy application process that required three letters of reference.“They wanted to make sure it was the right type of girl,” says Davis. “So your clergyman, a teacher or the mayor of your town, for example, would have to write in, vouching for you.” There were plenty of rules: No food in your rooms, no hair dryers or other electrical appliances. As for men, they had to be signed in at the front desk and were allowed only in public spaces — the lobby and a few rooms on the second floor where they held teas — but this rule was often gleefully disobeyed. “Everyone I talked to said they were always sneaking up guys,” laughs Davis. “The women from [secretarial school] Katharine Gibbs had to obey curfews and wear gloves and stockings, but the others didn’t, and the Ford models would laugh at them.” “I loved the idea of [the hotel] as a melting pot of brilliant minds,” she adds. “The women there were a mixture of smart, independent and fierce women in one building.” Share this article: Facebook Twitter Flipboard WhatsApp Email Copy Filed under books candice bergen grace kelly history hotels joan crawford joan didion manhattan new york city 8/27/16 Read Next Woman shot in leg by gunman in Union Square robbery what to shop now 42 luxury gifts the woman in your life will adore The 15 best pajamas for women in 2021 that you'll never want to take off Where to buy KitchenAid Stand Mixers on sale right now Target offers super savings on Lego sets for the holidays Save big on cold weather staples during J.Crew's 60% off sale Trending Now on NYPost.com This story has been shared 81,471 times. 81,471 John Goodman continues to show off 200-pound weight loss This story has been shared 80,800 times. 80,800 Nick Cannon’s 5-month-old son Zen dead from brain cancer This story has been shared 58,338 times. 58,338 Wife of former NFL quarterback busted for stealing designer goods Columnists Steve Cuozzo Le Coucou — NYC's best new restaurant in decades — is finally back Johnny Oleksinski Why I love New York's massive rat infestation See All Columnists what to shop now 42 luxury gifts the woman in your life will adore The 15 best pajamas for women in 2021 that you'll never want to take off Where to buy KitchenAid Stand Mixers on sale right now Target offers super savings on Lego sets for the holidays Save big on cold weather staples during J.Crew's 60% off sale Page Six Style Chrishell Stause debuts brunette hair at the People’s Choice Awards People’s Choice Awards 2021 red carpet: See all the celebrity fashion Olivia Wilde rocks outfit that’s ‘Pleasing’ to boyfriend Harry Styles Now on Page Six ‘America’s Got Talent’ contestant Skilyr Hicks dead at 23 Vanessa Bryant lives ‘in fear’ of Kobe crash pics going viral Chrishell Stause debuts brunette hair at the People’s Choice Awards See All Video Reunited dogs have a howlin’ good time in cute TikTok video Share This Article Share Selection Share selection to Facebook Share selection to Twitter More Stories Page Six John Goodman continues to show off 200-pound weight loss NYPost Wife of former NFL quarterback busted for stealing designer goods Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Email YouTube Sections & Features News Metro Sports Business Opinion Entertainment Fashion Shopping Living Media Tech Real Estate Video Photos Visual Stories Alexa Covers Horoscopes Sports Odds Podcasts Columnists Classifieds Post Sports+ Subscribe Articles Manage Newsletters & Feeds Email Newsletters RSS Feeds NY Post Official Store Home Delivery Subscribe Manage Subscription Delivery Help Help/Support About New York Post Customer Service App FAQ & Help Community Guidelines Contact Us Tips Newsroom Letters to the Editor Reprints Careers Apps iPhone App iPad App Android Phone Android Tablet Advertise Media Kit Contact © 2021 NYP Holdings, Inc.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the big things and to be looking always forward so that we miss out on life itself. I’ve seen a few memes recently saying “I’ll be happy when . . . “ and “Life will get easier when . . . “. But are we putting off happiness and the enjoyment of life constantly due to ever-moving targets? If so, then we miss the goodness and the joy and the beauty around us every day, as we are holding out for something else, something bigger. What I find is that life is messy. It’s never easy or straightforward. We don’t seem to go very long until another major issue crops up. Sometimes it feels as if it’s just one issue then another, with no downtime to recover or re-group in between. There are so many things we can’t control, and we certainly can’t control other people! Sometimes people act in ways that we can’t understand or that seem irrational to us. We each have a different perspective and it can be hard to see outside of this. Stopping to enjoy the little things in life is challenging in the modern, fast-paced world, and when you are balancing family and work. Our littlest girl commented on a beautiful rose in bloom a couple of weeks ago. We have one very oddly-situated old rose bush in the garden. It made me stop because it was beautiful – with a stunning orange/pink colour and it smelt amazing. I realised we were literally stopping to smell the roses, and were experiencing joy and giving praise in the God-given creation around us. It was a powerful reminder to do just that. When do we lose this ability – to stop and smell the roses? I think it comes with the start of school. Life becomes very structured and purposeful, and often children are rushed from school to home or after-school activities, and then to dinner and then to bed. For parents of young children or many children, the end game is getting them all in bed. The process and this focus can mean that all the lovely moments that could occur in that time and space can be lost. I think faith can be like this too. We go to Mass but, in-between Masses, we live in the world and, for many of us, God or Jesus or Christianity is not at all evident in our day-to-day work and we almost aren’t even allowed to mention our faith. It’s easy to let our attention slip from all the little things – all the little things to be grateful for, all the chances to offer a prayer of thanks, all the times we can offer a sacrifice, and all the times we can offer a prayer for someone in need. There are so many little opportunities that can get lost and overlooked. St Therese of Lisieux said, “Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do with love”. Every small thing we do with love, we do for Christ. I often think that the not-so-good things we do overshadow in our minds the good things that we do. This, to me, is one of the reasons why confession is so important. When we examine our consciences, we can then cleanse our soul of sin and start anew to focus. We can look to the small things which will help keep us grounded, and try to refocus on Christ and away from materialism and the modern anxieties which surround us. John 15:5; “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without me you can do nothing.”

Believe it or not, most older adults want to improve their health. We get plenty of sleep, park our cars in a spot furthest away from the supermarket’s main entrance, we follow a regimented medication schedule, and watch what we eat — except when it comes to dietary fiber. Studies show that Americans eat less than 3 percent of the recommended amounts of dietary fiber each day. But in a culture where whole-grain bread, raw foods, and organic products are mainstream, why are Americans still short on dietary fiber? Some experts blame our sweet tooth and other unhealthy cravings. “The problem is that many people eat a ton of highly processed foods, which have been stripped of most of their fiber,” says Kasandra Brabaw. Americans are more inclined to reach for a slice of white bread rather than whole-grain brands, and we choose to eat a fruit bar instead of eating a piece of whole fruit. These habits are taking a toll on our health. Lifestyle changes can still have a dramatic effect on improved health, regardless of age. And, if you starting a new fitness routine, invite your friends and family to join you. “We’ve noticed our rehab and therapy patients progress faster when they have a supportive team cheering them on,” said Trent Gunnell, SLP., DOR at Parke View Rehabilitation & Care Center. Fiber improves digestive functions, lowers cholesterol, maintains blood glucose levels, improves heart health, and helps control weight. Although thoughts of adding fiber involve grainy spoonfuls of something resembling bird seed, there are many flavorful options that achieve the same result. Here are four delicious, fiber-rich foods to increase your fiber intake. Cold Cereal Let’s face it. Bran cereals leave a lot to be desired in the flavor department. But, you can still obtain the health benefits by simply combining bran cereal with your favorite cold cereal like Cheerios, Corn Chex, or Rice Krispies. You still get the fiber, but you also enjoy the flavor. Soup Name your favorite soup and it likely includes a high-fiber food. Lentils, peas, corn, black beans, and broccoli are all great sources of dietary fiber. The Department of Agriculture says Americans need at least 14 grams of dietary fiber each day for every 1000 calories consumed. Fruits It’s true that an apple a day may keep the doctor at bay. “Apples are the perfect snack food when you need a healthy pick-me-up while on the go,” said Jim Morrison, executive director for Redmond Care and Rehabilitation Center. Also reach for avocados, berries, bananas, and citrus fruits. Hummus Made with chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice, hummus could very well be the perfect dip. Experts estimate that 25 percent of American homes stock it in their refrigerator. If you are looking for an effective way to feel better, look better, and perform better in your daily fitness routine, adding fiber to your diet is an easy (and delicious) start to good health.

This is my response only to some theoretical matters. I hope to have a more substantive response with concrete examples late in the day Friday. I need to consult with our resident expert so I don't get my facts wrong. But for anyone who wants to root around, we have a great archive here. I also have other writings of my own on the topic here and here. Please realize that this is a response to Patterico, and I am speaking to him as one conservative to another. Patterico's latest post on the topic is here. I don’t mean to insult the people here who have answered no. I just happen to think that a “no” answer to my carefully phrased hypo reveals such an incredibly ideological mindset that I can’t relate to it. It’s 2 1/2 minutes of a mild form of torture with no lasting physical effects, performed on an undoubtedly evil terrorist and mass murderer, to obtain information certain to obtain thousands of lives. When someone says that such mild torture would be morally unjustified, that answer to me lacks common sense. And when it’s coupled with a smug self-righteous attitude, — well, I find it insufferable. This isn't the proper attitude to take on intensely difficult moral questions. I take my lead from C.S. Lewis who counseled large amounts of humility on such questions. When you are looking at balancing very important concerns against one another, you should be very careful about assuming that you have found the right balance. To take a step back from the torture example think of free speech and political contributions. The desire for a political field which has vastly less corruption is a right and proper desire. Unfortunately, some of the methods for controlling that end up being very severe restrictions against free speech. The desire for free speech is also right and proper. When these two particular concepts come into conflict, I believe that free speech ought to win for various reasons that I'm not going to articulate again right this moment. But I recognize that the desire to reduce corruption is a strong and legitimate desire. I think supporters of McCain-Feingold are wrong, or misguided, or improperly weighing things. I do not however think that anything negative needs to be said about them on a moral plane just because they don't come to the same balance on interests that I recognize are very important. This isn't relativism, I'm not saying that if people balanced having a tuna sandwich against free speech that it would be fine. I'm recognizing that both interests are very important, and that I should be a little bit humble in my understanding of where to strike the proper balance. This is true even if my opponents are being a bit smug about where they strike the balance. Their attitude doesn't automatically make them wrong. My first question to Sebastian is this: what do you think of the opinion of people who would answer that question “no”? What would you say to my commenter “Stace,” who said to me: “If you say yes, you disgust me.”? I bet that is not an uncommon feeling on the left. But, Sebastian, given the assumptions of my hypothetical, isn’t a “no” answer indicative of a highly ideological view of this subject — one that would alienate most of the American public? I think they are wrong. But I acknowledge that this is a choice between EVILS and very strong evils at that. It is difficult for me to stir up much anger that in a choice between evils, not everyone would come to the same choice as me. As for 'alienate most of the American public' that just isn't relevant to me. I think that the American public doesn't have super strong views of the subject. I think that they aren't particularly worked up over torturing actual evil people, but that isn't very relevant to the actual facts. I suspect (hope?) that if they realized how many factually innocent people were being tortured, they wouldn't be thrilled. "So if the argument is merely that waterboarding is too significant a decision to entrust to government, because government screws everything up, then I don’t think the argument ultimately prevails." This may be too complex of an area to go into here, but in short I have a pretty strong libertarian streak and I've seen the perversions of justice that have come about from the drug war (see civil forfeiture, out of control SWAT raids, and search rules that eat away at the 4th amendment). This is not the kind of power you want the government to have over people. The ticking bomb scenario doesn't actually occur, so the justification you offer doesn't have force. We really could use other techniques, and they really have proven to be more effective at eliciting truthful information. Torture provides an incentive to scream out whatever you think your questioners want to hear. The relationship between what your questioners want to hear and the truth is tenuous at best. Sebastian supports his argument by asserting that we have actually tortured innocent people. He doesn’t provide links to any specific cases — and I bet that if he did, it would be to cases where someone claims to have been tortured and the U.S. government denies it — but he may be right. I’m not sure he’s proved it, but he may be right. We have also imprisoned innocent people, waged wars that proved to be a mistake, and made plenty of other errors. I need a better argument than that to deprive government of a tool that might be necessary to save thousands of lives. While imprisoning people, we go through one of the more complex social structures around. Through it all, we still make mistakes, but the process can be very exhaustive. A lack of absolute perfection is not the crux of the argument. The problem is that the kind of high pressure situation that is always used to justify torture (ticking bomb, imminent threat, near-term plot) is definitionally NOT conducive to exhaustively determining guilt before the torture begins. Since, as you say, we make mistakes about innocence EVEN AFTER THE EXHAUSTIVE CRIMINAL PROCESS, it is a certainty that torture will be employed against innocents at a much greater rate than is found in imprisoning people. I'm going to consult with Katherine about who the clearest cases are, but it is a fact that we have already tortured and sent out for torture, innocent people. And I find it very plausible in any case, because we know that the police sometimes torture suspects even though they know full well it isn't legal. See for example the audio of a suspect who was tortured in his home here. (Yes I know you have issues with Balko. Just listen to the audio). In a very conservative vein, I also would like to point out the rather strong formal governmental taboo against torture that has grown up in Western civilization. Until you can firmly show why it exists, what purpose it serves, and how proposals to legitimize its use in certain situations won't undermine that, I'm not excited about just tearing it down because Bush wants to cry 'national security'. He's lost the benefit of the doubt. Note to commenters here at ObsidianWings: I know you have strong feelings. I suspect it would be most effective to channel those feelings into factual discussions rather than nasty rants. The facts are nasty enough as it is. You don't have to give people an excuse to avoid looking at the facts by calling them names. Posted by Sebastian at 03:40 AM | Permalink Comments So if the argument is merely that waterboarding is too significant a decision to entrust to government, because government screws everything up, then I don’t think the argument ultimately prevails. I don't believe I've seen a single argument against torture to that effect -- though ironically, that is the perennial conservative mantra against government, so it's mildly amusing that he's now seeing its flaws. Posted by: Anarch | November 15, 2007 at 05:05 AM good post. Posted by: cleek | November 15, 2007 at 07:05 AM And of course, to some wingnuts, the point that governments torture the wrong people just mean that we should have privatised torture, with the market deciding the most effective forms of cruelty...welcome the McRack. Posted by: magistra | November 15, 2007 at 07:19 AM Good post again, Sebastian. I do agree with magistra that the emphasis on how *government* will inevitably make mistakes in torture almost implies that non-governmental torturers might be OK. I'm very glad to see you going to the mat on this issue. Posted by: Doctor Science | November 15, 2007 at 07:51 AM There are three major problems with Patterico's whole hypothesis and post. First of all is his name calling, that anybody who disagreed with him is self-righteous. Talk about being judgemental. Secondly, as mentioned several times, the whole hypothetical is ridiculous. The biggest assumption in starting the torture is that it would take only 2.5 minutes for KSM to fess up. Thirdly, by accepting that specific scenario as justified you are , no matter how you parse it, a supporter of torture. I remember the old Johnny Carson interview with a rather voluptuous female guest (whose name escapes me). First he asked her if she would sleep with him for a million dollars. She responded in the positive. hen he asked if she would sleep with him for $100. She responded with "What do you think I am, a prostitute?" His response was "We've already determined that, now we are just negotiating the price." For those who are Christians, such as myself, and find themselves leaning toward a positive view of torture at times, I recommend they read the quote from Christ that begins, "For what profits a man to gain the world..." Posted by: john miller | November 15, 2007 at 08:22 AM I think we can cut this whole debate really short: the first thing you hear in Philosophy 101 when you come across the terms Utilitarianism and Consequentialism is something along these lines: One common illustration is called Transplant. Imagine that each of five patients in a hospital will die without an organ transplant. The patient in Room 1 needs a heart, the patient in Room 2 needs a liver, the patient in Room 3 needs a kidney, and so on. The person in Room 6 is in the hospital for routine tests. Luckily (for them, not for him!), his tissue is compatible with the other five patients, and a specialist is available to transplant his organs into the other five. This operation would save their lives, while killing the "donor". There is no other way to save any of the other five patients The more imaginative might want to embellish the whole situation to their liking, e.g. the person in room 6 is Adolf Hitler or Osama Bin Laden himself and certain to die of a brain tumor within the next three months - it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, because once you buy into the thinking that a utilitarian calculus trumps our humanistic values, you have no way of rationally arguing that there should be any limits to what we can do to the people at the receiving end of it. If the lives of the potential victims in the torture case trump physical inviolability of the suspect, then there is simply no good reason why we should stop at inflicting 2.5 minutes of pain. If we buy into this calculus we could and we should inflict 24 hours of pain, pull his fingernails or saw off a few of his limbs. If that doesn't work we could and should bring in his wife and children and do the same to them, since the death of hundreds or thousands will always trump the physical inviolability of a few. It's the nature of the consequentialist calculus and if you are going down that road, there is simply no way around it and no rational way to establish a limit at a certain point. Posted by: novakant | November 15, 2007 at 08:27 AM Firstly, I thought that the discussion on torture hypotheticals had been killed for good by Belle Waring's Crooked Timber post on 'torturing small children to save world from space aliens'. (sorry, can't find link) Secondly, one thing that many conservatives often seem to come back to (as did a number of the orginal 'torture memos') is the idea that the only real standard of harm is physical harm - psychiatric harm is considered to be almost irrelevant (a 'few nightmares'). My wife worked extensively with psychiatrically scarred refugees(usually by rape or torture) and their happiness levels certainly seemed far below those of refugees at the same camp who had simply incurred a single action injury (e.g. landmine or stray bullet). I wonder if the same thing makes them say that US Iraq war casualties are relatively low - it's true that only a small proportion of US soldiers have been physically scrred, but the current format of the war (IEDs, hostile population, home raids etc) seem almost tailor-made to cause stress disorders, and I have seen reports that 25% of US troops rotating out of theater have such disorders. Posted by: Anon | November 15, 2007 at 08:49 AM The proper response to the hypothetical is to ask why it is being put forward. Saying "yes" or "no" is meaningless in the context of a debate about the real use of torture by the real American government in the real world. The hypothetical only serves to distract people from the real argument. Posted by: The Modesto Kid | November 15, 2007 at 08:56 AM Good post. I'd agree that, granted the (unrealistic) hypothetical, this is indeed a hard moral problem--though I'm sure one that has been worked over before. However, that it may be unclear as a moral issue is completely irrelevant to the question of legality, something Patterico seems to delibrately slide past. Posted by: DCA | November 15, 2007 at 08:57 AM novakant is exactly right. I can never understand why some of the people who think it might be okay to go around water-boarding suspected terrorists think that "actual" torture is somehow beyond the pale. I mean, why the fnck can't we get medeival on KSM's @ss with a pair of pliers and a blow torch if it means saving thousands of people? Posted by: Ugh | November 15, 2007 at 09:08 AM one thing to keep in mind: this issue is now a partisan issue. loyal partisan Republicans are going to defend torture because the Republican politicians defend it (for reasons of their own), and because the left opposes it. so, make all the moral and logical arguments you like, but there is no small number of people out there who aren't interested in listening to what you, a sniveling lefty, has to say because you're wrong by default. climate change, anyone? Posted by: cleek | November 15, 2007 at 09:16 AM You know, the idea that the government can by stating "this person is a dangerous, evil terrorist" remove all of the said person's human rights is probably one of the most abhorrent things I know. After all, the whole Western legal tradition is about protecting the rights of the accused, no matter how evil and abhorrent the crime. If we don't trust the police so much that they would have the ability to give a fine for speeding without the fined person having recourse to courts, how can we give the government the ability to imprison people for years at a time without any judicial oversight? Posted by: Lurker | November 15, 2007 at 09:26 AM novakant, while I don't disagree with your conclusions, it's not *just* a problem of consequentialism, or a necessary consequence of it, in that lots of consequentialist philosophers have spilled a lot of ink trying to work around that problem. (Which is just to say that there aren't knockdown arguments in Phil 101.) God, I hate these Jack Bauer masturbation scenarios. In the likely possible world where we know that by torturing an evil someone for two and a half minutes we will definitely save thousands of lives, we have enough information to act without torture. In a situation where our epistemic position is weaker, where we don't know that the someone we have in custody is evil, we don't know how much torture it will take, and we don't really know what the benefit will be, could stop a 9/11, could stop a piece of rogue toast, we don't seem to have any reason to torture. Unless Patterico wants to argue that the mere suspicion of the impending deaths of thousands is enough to justify torture. But now we're in moral territory he doesn't want to go in; we're supposed to be using torture only in ticking-time-bomb scenarios, not as a general intelligence gathering method.* His position seems to collapse pretty quickly into 'torture whenever there's a possibility of a threat.' *on the assumption that torture could work to yield information, which is probably where the whole thing should be rejected. Posted by: Cala | November 15, 2007 at 09:30 AM Anon, I believe you're looking for "By The Power of Stipulation: I Have The Power!" Posted by: KCinDC | November 15, 2007 at 09:35 AM And to john miller's list (@ 08:22) of problems with Patterico's torture-scenario, let me add another: Having read Patterico's posts and comments, and the ObWings threads, I've come away with the unmistakable impression that Patterico is posing his "hypothetical" not so much as a moral-issues problem; but as a sort of "gotcha" question: phrased in the "have you stopped beating your wife?" mode. With either a "yes" or "no" answer (to the "should we torture?" question) lending itself to a damned-if-you-do/damned-if-you-don't critique. A "yes" means - apparently - that you are either a hypocrite on the issue (or that torture really IS OK); a "no" means you don't care about "saving lives". The issue is (as many commenters both here and there have pointed out) hugely more complicated than simpleminded "ticking nuclear bomb" scenarios - reducing it to gotcha-jabs on a blog does nobody any favors. Posted by: Jay C | November 15, 2007 at 09:44 AM KCinDC - Yup, that's the one, thanks. Great to read it again. One other interesting question, which Jim Henley raised (though in a slightly different way) is why don't we read about posts from prosecutors/cops in which they agonise about hypotheticals in which they could get a captured terrorist to reveal all in return for getting his 72 young ladies right now , for life, plus a beautiful mansion and a fat income. Yet you would think that some form of contractually binding carrot like this might well work with certain personality types at least as well as a stick. Why the obsession with the stick? Posted by: Anon | November 15, 2007 at 09:53 AM I don’t mean to insult the people here who have answered no. I just happen to think that a “no” answer to my carefully phrased hypo reveals such an incredibly ideological mindset that I can’t relate to it. It’s 2 1/2 minutes of a mild form of torture with no lasting physical effects, performed on an undoubtedly evil terrorist and mass murderer, to obtain information certain to obtain thousands of lives. I think that what he's not understanding is that a 'no' response is very likely to be a rejection of the hypothetical. The hypo assumes that 2 1/2 minutes of pouring water on someone's face can, without actually interfering with their breathing or putting them at any risk of actual physical harm, make them panicky enough to tell you things that they would otherwise only tell you under 'torture'. And you know, maybe that's true -- I haven't tried it myself -- but I don't believe it. The description of waterboarding that got linked around a week or so ago, in which it was stated that waterboarding involved actually filling the subject's lungs with water, made a lot more sense in terms of the psychological reaction people have to it. So, that said, the hypo sounds like "Would you be willing to endorse torture if the torture we're talking about is the short-term infliction of very mild discomfort, and it's certain to produce the results we want?" If you really accepted those premises, it might be hard to say no. But the premises are so ridiculous that it's impossible to accept them all at once. Someone who says no to that hypo is likely to be reacting to what they know waterboarding to be, rather than what Patterico says it is. Posted by: LizardBreath | November 15, 2007 at 09:59 AM Yeah, it's not government specific. Again: human beings cannot be trusted with unlimited power over other human beings in their captivity. More stipulation: Stipulate that in 2002, Dick Cheney's cardiologist was deeply opposed to the coming invasion of Iraq. Say that based on his conversations with his patient, he was convinced that (1) Cheney was trying to drag the country into war based on lies about Saddam Hussein's weapons program; (2) invading Iraq would lead to the violent deaths of thousands of American soldiers & hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians; (3) these deaths would make the United States less safe from terrorist attack, not more so; (4) if Cheney were out of the picture, Colin Powell would be able to talk the President out of this disastrous course, & the intelligence agencies would be able to present accurate information, & the invasion would not occur; (5) he can prevent all this by deliberately sabotaging a heart procedure on Cheney & making it look like an accident. Say the cardiologist is 100% right about all of this. Was he justified? Does this scenario call into doubt whether there's a moral basis for a blanket ban on: (1) murder in general; (2) political assassination in particular; (3) doctors deliberately harming their patients? Is criticism of advocates of murder, assassination & violations of the Hippocratic oath self righteous hypocrisy against people who just refuse to toe an ideological line? Posted by: Katherine | November 15, 2007 at 10:01 AM Stipulate that in 2002, Dick Cheney's cardiologist was deeply opposed to the coming invasion of Iraq. yow. i believe that one wins Hypothetical Of The Day. Posted by: cleek | November 15, 2007 at 10:05 AM Dude, I remember back in college, staying up late, half of us drunk, talking about stuff like whether we'd eat a baby if it was the only way to save the world for imploding. Good times, good times. Wait... we're actually eating babies now? Oh... Posted by: Patrick | November 15, 2007 at 10:07 AM LB @ 9:59: The key is in really accepting those premises, and then thinking whether they shed any light on the current situation. "No" can address either of those. And I have to say, deciding whether torture is ethical based on those grounds like trying to plan my budget by wishing into existence an extra $500K a month, and using that to justify why I can afford a jet plane on my current salary. At some point reality just has to be a constraint. Posted by: Cala | November 15, 2007 at 10:11 AM (oh: throw in the stipulation that Dick Cheney's cardiologist believes correctly that murdering Cheney is the ONLY possible way to prevent the war.) Posted by: Katherine | November 15, 2007 at 10:12 AM I think it is Sebastian's second to last paragraph where he makes the point that the taboo agaisnt our government's inolvement in torture is a good taboo to have and not one that needs to be weakened. Pattterico says that his motive is to call out thhe sanctimoniousness of a certain type of commenter. I question that. My guess is that his motive is to move the Overton winndow, in a seemingly reasonable way. First make hypothetical torture under hypothetical circumstances seem reasonable and vilify those who disagree, then.... Of course that's mind reading, but really why else have this discussion? If he just wanted to make faces and call names, hhe could do it with a lot less typing. I believe that hhe is tryinng to de-legitimize the anti-torture taboo. There's only one reason to do thhat: to make torture acceptable under some circumstances. (Frist just nice, clean no blood torture of the "othher", then a little more blood and target people closer to home...) Posted by: wonkie | November 15, 2007 at 10:19 AM The original hypothetical is seriously flawed, resulting in any hard-nosed position on it, yes or no, being nothing more than chest-pounding: performed on an undoubtedly evil terrorist and mass murderer, to obtain information certain to obtain thousands of lives. This last bit is impossible to know before the decision to inflict torture is carried out. Much of the info KMS provided under interrogation has proven to be false. Just because the administration claims other information was truly valuable (and really, what do you expect them to argue, and really, really, who still trusts what they say?) doesn't guarantee that any future torture would secure accurate intelligence. Long story short, it's always a crap shoot at best. Generally, the tortured person will waste valuable time and resources telling his torturers whatever he thinks will make them stop. I don't think you can honestly answer the original question without also answering whether it's morally justified to torture someone when you know full well they might send you on a wild goose chase. In which case, the point of such torture is merely torture. Leaving out the possibility (probability) that you'll get nothing for your trouble is to skew the hypothetical to a scenario only a fortune teller could truthfully answer. Pretending you could ever know in advance you'll get good intel is to admit you're morally bankrupt. Posted by: Edward_ | November 15, 2007 at 10:29 AM KCinDC and Anon, thanks for that link -- I had forgot all about that post, which is in a league with the original "...and a pony" post. (And reading the comments thread made me wonder what ever happened to Ted Barlow?) Posted by: The Modesto Kid | November 15, 2007 at 10:37 AM I haven't been getting into this debate, because I really have little to say: Torture is really, really bad. There's not a lot of reason to think it's very useful, either. And government couldn't be trusted with this power even if it could be used for good. Belief to the contrary, I suspect, is largely a consequence of people, understandably, enjoying the thought of really bad people suffering. Posted by: Brett Bellmore | November 15, 2007 at 10:40 AM In a very conservative vein, I also would like to point out the rather strong formal governmental taboo against torture that has grown up in Western civilization. I think this is an interesting point here. I agree with wonkie that if we were going for taboos, this is a keeper, but I'm not really sure if there has been a strong governmental taboo on torture, except that it wasn't called torture, it was called punishment or persecution. Foucault opens his book _Discipline and Punish_ description of the torture/punishment of Robert-François Damiens (and I have to find a copy to see if it is described as torture or as punishment) and there are countless examples of Western governments torturing in order to assure people toe the line, Machiavelli and the strappado, Dostoevsky and the mock firing squad, persecution of heretics and witches, Western civilization is shot thru with examples of torturing people for various reasons. So, I hopefully don't weaken Sebastian's position vis a vis Patterico if I note that the prohibition against 'torture' is not a "conservative" retention of mores, but actually an example of a liberal progression. Posted by: liberal japonicus | November 15, 2007 at 10:45 AM Brett: Belief to the contrary, I suspect, is largely a consequence of people, understandably, enjoying the thought of really bad people suffering. I think you're absolutely right. Posted by: Jesurgislac | November 15, 2007 at 10:47 AM When Patterico says that the torture of innocent suspects isn't grounds for forbidding torture .... Well, there you are. Also, it's hard to see any moral grounds by which we could object if Iran captured and tortured a couple of special ops guys they found on the border: They have grounds to believe Bush is going to attack, which would undoubtedly cost thousands of lives, and these guys are apparently the first wave, so why not? And as has been pointed out (and as I've argued elsewhere) the ticking bomb scenario has nothing to do with the actual practice of torture in the GWOT. Besides, as Digby (I think) once pointed out, if someone did use torture in the ticking-bomb scenario and did save thousands of lives, no jury would ever convict them. Posted by: Fraser | November 15, 2007 at 10:47 AM Not much to add regarding the substance of the post - the other comments are quite good. I just want to say, Seb, that so long as you are posting things of this quality, you should feel no need to qualify what you're writing because of your conservatism. There's no need to excuse yourself. (Not that I necessarily think you are, but I couldn't think of a better way to put it.) Posted by: hairshirthedonist | November 15, 2007 at 10:47 AM Actually, this is kind of fun... Stipulate that there is a ring forged in the fires of Mount Doom that makes it bearer more powerful than anyone else in Middle Earth. An dark lord named Sauron is trying to take over Middle Earth. Your fair city, Gondor, is his first target. Sauron is preparing to unleash his armies against you. Your people and your city are doomed to horrible, gruesome painful deaths, and the only hope of stopping it is bringing the One Ring to Gondor. However, for reasons passing understanding, a council of elves & wizards has decided instead of using the ring to send two hobbits on an utterly hopeless quest to destroy it. (Easy for them to say--they're immortal & they can always sail off to wherever). Stealing the ring from the hobbits, and bringing it to your father to protect Gondor, is the only way to save your people, your city, & the world from certain destruction. What do you do? Posted by: Katherine | November 15, 2007 at 10:50 AM At the end of Sebastian's first post Harmut makes a very good point about accountabiity: people who decide that a taboo must be violated also need to act so as to perserve the taboo by accepting the consequences of the decision to violate them. (assuming they basically agree with thhe taboo) Patterico, if the answer is "yes", a perrson can break an essential taboo under hypothettical circumstances, then what consequences do you think the taboo breaker should get? Of course, if there is no or minimal consequence for the taboo breaker, thhen thhe taboo itself will be significantly weakened. So...if the people who say "yes" get the hypothetical chance to act on their "yes", should they be put in prison, executed, charged with assault, lose their jobs, become commentators on Faux News, or what? Posted by: wonkie | November 15, 2007 at 10:52 AM "So, I hopefully don't weaken Sebastian's position vis a vis Patterico if I note that the prohibition against 'torture' is not a "conservative" retention of mores, but actually an example of a liberal progression." Well, it's actually both. Posted by: Katherine | November 15, 2007 at 10:55 AM It is very telling that the only way most folks can clear their conscience about their support for the formal use of torture is to construct carefully limited and controlled hypothetical situations. All of which is fine for theoretical angels on pinhead counting, but hardly practical for persuading God you're fit to enter the gates of Heaven. Posted by: Edward_ | November 15, 2007 at 10:55 AM The people who say that the purpose of these fairy-tale scenarios is to open the Overton window and desensitize us to torture is exactly right. Also, what the fuck is up with the insistence of these morally-bankrupt conservatives that torture "leaves no lasting physical harm"? Rape often leaves no lasting physical harm but, like torture, it can shatter a person's mind. Would Patterico agree to raping "KSM" (dear lord, what a silly nickname)? Actually, the rape comparison is a good one because rape is merely sexualized torture, and torture merely desexualized rape. Both are violations of a person's body and mind and of their very sense of self. Posted by: Lani | November 15, 2007 at 11:01 AM I really hopethe Patterico will respond to the queston of consequences. I'm not sure we hhave a tobaoo against it but we do have rules: thhe Constitution and the professioonal stanndards of interrogators for government agencies. So Paterrico is ratinalizing that thhese rules can be violateded sometimes. If hhe supports thhe rules themselves, then he must also support consequences for those thhat break them, even if thhe end is supposed to justify thhe means. Othherwise the act of allowing thhe rules to be broken has the effect of destroying the rules themselves. Posted by: wonkie | November 15, 2007 at 11:26 AM "It’s 2 1/2 minutes of a mild form of torture with no lasting physical effects" That would also be true if Patterico's preferred form of torture was the buggering of the suspect's young son. No lasting physical effects to the lad. Posted by: Jon H | November 15, 2007 at 11:39 AM Sebastian -- I'll be interested to read your thoughts in the context of actual cases. IMVHO, discussing torture in the context of "hypotheticals" is kind of pointless. It might be interesting dorm room conversation, but it's hard to see the value beyond that. We don't live in a hypothetical world. If we decide to employ torture as an interrogation technique, lots and lots of other things come along for the ride. It incurs a price. There are lots of folks who post here who can give a realistic measure of the price we've already paid in greater detail and accuracy than I can, so I'll leave the field to them. The long story short from my POV is, simply, no, it's not worth it. Pattterico says that his motive is to call out thhe sanctimoniousness of a certain type of commenter. Sorry I missed that when I read his stuff, I would have saved my breath. I have better things to do than entertain Mr. Patterico. Thanks - Posted by: russell | November 15, 2007 at 11:43 AM Sebastian wrote: "This may be too complex of an area to go into here, but in short I have a pretty strong libertarian streak and I've seen the perversions of justice that have come about from the drug war (see civil forfeiture, out of control SWAT raids, and search rules that eat away at the 4th amendment)" Recall Patterico's spats with Radley Balko. Patterico doesn't have a problem with these things, and doesn't believe there is such a think as an out of control SWAT raid. Posted by: Jon H | November 15, 2007 at 11:49 AM Even if I were to actually come face-to-face with some situation so extreme as to render torture morally justifiable, that doesn't mean that torture should be legal. If torture is legalized it becomes ok in those instances which don't constitute extreme situations, i.e., the overwhelming number of cases which soldiers and others will face. Furthermore, the mere fact that I may one day find myself in some situation so extreme and so dangerous that I actually am willing to resort to torture doesn't mean that I shouldn't have to face a judge and jury afterwards and defend my conduct. They may accept my defense or they may not. But there's no reason to give me (or anyone else) immunity from prosecution before I've even acted. Posted by: AndrewBW | November 15, 2007 at 11:49 AM " If torture is legalized it becomes ok in those instances which don't constitute extreme situations, i.e., the overwhelming number of cases which soldiers and others will face. " For instance, can SWAT cops on a raid torture the child of a resident in order to get information about the people inside and the weapons they have? They're already so chickenshit risk-averse and willing to make everyone else die to save their own hides. Why not crush a few kid nuts to make sure? Posted by: Jon H | November 15, 2007 at 11:59 AM Like a lot of discussions of sexual fantasies, all this stuff about torture just isn't that interesting if it isn't your kink. Now I've sometimes had the kind of revenge fantasy a lot of GB men do, about prominent homophobes being anally raped by an ugly HIV-positive man. It looks to me like the logic being used to justify torture could equally be used to excuse my rape fantasy as something more than a frustrated anger that ought to be dealt with rather than encouraged. After all, the experience of suffering sometimes leads people to changes of heart. That's what the reform part of penology is all about. So if an act of disease-carrying rape could make Pat Robertson or Dick Cheney a better person, wouldn't it be wrong to rule it out as though there's just nothing to say for it? Just as it might be wrong to rule out genocide if we know that the victims will all go to heaven, or were very sad and wouldn't have enjoyed life anyway. Those seem just as relevant as the garbage being peddled by Patterico and his ilk. Footnote for the morality-impaired: yes, in real life rape is always wrong, and so is genocide, and so is torture, [i]even if[/i] you can construct a fantasy that removes some of the limits reality always imposes on those acts. This has been your One Minute Clarity lesson for today. Posted by: Jaden "Otter" Holt | November 15, 2007 at 11:59 AM I agree 100% with Brett Bellmore @10:40. When Brett & I agree that something is wrong, it's *really, really* wrong. Posted by: Doctor Science | November 15, 2007 at 12:04 PM From Patterico's quote from one of his commenters in Sebastian's solid post: "If you say yes, you disgust me." and ......... .... every word of Wonkie's two comments. It's curious to me (more than that but Sebastian asked that we not be nasty) that Patterico seems concerned that someone might be disgusted with him ("him" being the hypothetical waterboarding expert) for torturing individuals. It seems to me (again with the mild rhetoric) that Americans who torture in the service of their ideal of "saving" their country should in fact be willing to be executed for their actions (or placed in prison, charged with assault, fired from their jobs, but forget the idea of the Faux News job; that seems an extreme consequence to me which might have unintended consequences -- like turning me into a torturer of Roger Ailes if I get my hands on him). If in fact the torturer's actions are in the service of an ultimate good, then what's a little disincentive like the death penalty or, God forbid, being shunned by the disgusted? After all, our soldiers understand (not fully beforehand, but let's go with it) the disincentives of engaging in combat but they do it anyway. Surely a would-be torturer can see his or her way through a little disincentive or two. Of course, those who support torture but don't actually engage in it have nothing on the line, so the incentive/disincentive system loses its cache, if you'll excuse the anti-torture French (who are pro-torture if it's in their interests; execute them too). Different point, which I alluded to in the previous thread and Anarch jumped on above: The idea that torture should not be engaged in "because government screws everything up", is irrelevant at best (false would be more like it). I can very well decide that government shouldn't torture because torture is G-d---ed wrong (actually, government might be really, really good at torture), and simultaneously recognize that the U.S. Government, for example, is competent in the area of building dams, administering the Social Security System, coercing Brett to pay taxes, etc. The publicly held, private sector firm Google works great, and given its valuation in the equity market can do no wrong, but I still wouldn't allow them to torture. Well, unless they came up with an alternative to Windows, but I'm easily corrupted. Posted by: John Thullen | November 15, 2007 at 12:17 PM one thing to keep in mind: this issue is now a partisan issue. loyal partisan Republicans are going to defend torture because the Republican politicians defend it (for reasons of their own), and because the left opposes it. I've considered that as well. Ever notice that the percentage of people who don't consider waterboarding torture is almost exactly the same as those who still have a favorable opinion of Dubya? Posted by: Sasha | November 15, 2007 at 12:19 PM Excellent post, Sebastian, and one in keeping with the principles of traditional conservatism. Beware, though -- you're in danger of being labeled a liberal leftist (a la John Cole and Andrew Sullivan) by elements of the right for speaking out on those principles. Posted by: double-plus-ungood | November 15, 2007 at 12:42 PM God, I hate these Jack Bauer masturbation scenarios. Me, I play "Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth, and think about Dick Cheney. Probably too much info, but I wanted to share. Posted by: DaveC | November 15, 2007 at 01:07 PM The main problem I have with Patterico's hypo is that he makes absolutely no attempt to ground his hypothetical in anything that might possibly have happened. I know this because Sebastian's post makes no mention of any such attempt on his part, and several commenters here confidently assert that there is absolutely no connection between his hypo and any scenario ever described by any media outlet. (Should I prove wrong about that, I will note that Patterico is a sap for unquestioningly believing any such report without even raising the possibility that it might not be true.) Posted by: Patterico | November 15, 2007 at 03:12 PM Ross DOESN'T describe your scenario. He says KSM gave true information about a plot on the Library tower. The stuff about KSM's waterboarding being necessary to foil the plot, is your own assumption/embellishment. Posted by: Katherine | November 15, 2007 at 03:22 PM I remember the old Johnny Carson interview with a rather voluptuous female guest (whose name escapes me). First he asked her if she would sleep with him for a million dollars. She responded in the positive. hen he asked if she would sleep with him for $100. She responded with "What do you think I am, a prostitute?" His response was "We've already determined that, now we are just negotiating the price." No offense, John, but I'm extremely, extremely, extremely, skeptical that you remember such an interview. That is, I believe you may think you remember it. But unless Johnny Carson did an interview, with someone you conveniently can't remember, that duplicates what's got to be one of most retold jokes ever -- generally the anecdote stars Winston Churchill -- it seems extremely unlikely indeed that this actually happened to Johnny Carson. Posted by: Gary Farber | November 15, 2007 at 04:00 PM "(And reading the comments thread made me wonder what ever happened to Ted Barlow?)" He got a job that interfered with blogging, and he got burned out on blogging, and he quit. I urged him to regard it as just a hiatus: there's rarely any need or reason to say you're never coming back to it. But he was adamant enough to have his name taken off Crooked Timber. I hope he comes back eventually; he was quite thoughtful, IMO. wonkie: "If hhe supports thhe rules themselves, then he must also support consequences for those thhat break them, even if thhe end is supposed to justify thhe means. Othherwise the act of allowing thhe rules to be broken has the effect of destroying the rules themselves." Did you used to post here under another name? I'm just curious if that's the case, or if there are two people out there with that stylistic tic. Posted by: Gary Farber | November 15, 2007 at 04:16 PM I'm content to let people watch the vdeo, linked on my site, and decide for themselves whether I assumed/embellished in saying that my hypo is grounded in Ross's report (which I always am careful to say may or may not be accurate). He could have been clearer, but viewing the whole thing in context, he clearly (in my mind) indicated that the 2 1/2 minute session was what broke KSM and got him to reveal details of the Library Tower plot. I thought you said his claim was provably false. Is this the proof? A strained argument that he wasn't explicit enough in tying the waterboarding to the confession? I expected more. Posted by: Patterico | November 15, 2007 at 04:20 PM "Ross DOESN'T describe your scenario. He says KSM gave true information about a plot on the Library tower.

Thanks for any consideration in this. Posted by: Gary Farber | November 15, 2007 at 04:21 PM Me, I play "Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth, and think about Dick Cheney. Probably too much info, but I wanted to share. Actually, it explains a lot. Posted by: russell | November 15, 2007 at 04:30 PM No--Zaini Zakaria, one of the guys who supposed to be one of the pilots backed out in 2001 after seeing video footage of 9/11, & surrendered to Malaysian authorities in December 2002. The leader of the Malaysian cell, Masran Arshad, was arrested by Malaysian authorities in spring of 2002. KSM was not arrested or waterboarded until 2003; by then the plot was off. He did give details about what they intended to do: some stuff about alleged plans to use shoe bombs to break into the cockpit. To the extent that those details were accurate (like many of KSM's confessions they sound a little fishy to me, but who knows), they were just after-the-fact details, not the key intelligence used to stop the plot. Intelligence officials have expressed doubt as to how close it ever really came to being realized, & by the time KSM was captured, it wasn't a current, credible threat. President Bush himself has said that the plot "was derailed in early 2002 when a Southeast Asian nation arrested a key al Qaeda operative". There are several articles about this in major news sources (the Zaini Zakaria part at least--I don't think Arshad's name was reported as widely, he was just referred to as "the cell leader"; I happened to know who he was because I doing volunteer work tracking these stories for a human rights organization at the time). I know all this is quick & lacking in links & probably incomprensible to many not in my head--I will do it for real later. Sorry. Posted by: Katherine | November 15, 2007 at 04:38 PM "I thought you said his claim was provably false. Is this the proof?" No. It was that the plot had been abandoned by some members and others had already been caught by the time KSM 'broke'. Posted by: Sebastian Holsclaw | November 15, 2007 at 04:39 PM I took the phrase about government's lack of competence to refer specifically to its lack of competence at separating innocent people from evil terrorists without a trial (or with a trial in many cases). Of course, I don't think anybody is going to be any better at that, that's why we have so many safeguards built in to the system.

Actually, somewhat irrelevant, as the point being made remains the same no matter who said it originally. Patterico is pro-torture despite his protestations, the only question is how bad the torture has to be before he becomes against it.

Or the death penalty for illegal immigrants? It is nice to see the anti-torture arguments repeated with such clarity, but for God's sake, why are we having this discussion? Posted by: dmbeaster | November 15, 2007 at 08:54 PM If you allow torture at all, the obvious next question is: when do you NOT allow it? I'm still waiting for Patterico's answer to that ridiculously obvious question -- which, of course, is also the subject of Katherine's next post above. Posted by: Bruce Moomaw | November 15, 2007 at 08:58 PM I haven't been getting into this debate, because I really have little to say Actually, Brett, I think you've nailed it. Thanks - Posted by: russell | November 15, 2007 at 09:21 PM "hi Gary, Yes I used to be lily." So I thought. Hope you don't mind my asking. I was just unable to control my curiosity as to whether I was correctly identifying you by your typographical idiosyncrasies. ;-) "lily and wonkie are my cats, by thhe way." Long may they purr. Posted by: Gary Farber | November 15, 2007 at 09:32 PM Typographical idiosycrasies---what a nice, tactful way to desribe incompetent typing! :) yep, that's me! Posted by: wonkie | November 15, 2007 at 09:50 PM Part of a larger answer to Patterico: According to the DOJ, in the early 1990s, largely as a result of gang wars over the drug trade, the US homicide rate spiked up until the United States suffered, 10000 excess homicides every year, the equivalent of a 9/11 every four months. Somehow, nobody felt the need for torture hypotheticals then. Interestingly, also according to DOJ statistics, that spike in the murder rate took place almost exclusively among Black Americans. Who do you propose to save by torturing whom? Posted by: John Spragge | November 17, 2007 at 04:45 AM "Somehow, nobody felt the need for torture hypotheticals then." Careful with that assumption, the drug war actually does inspire all sorts of stupidity on the 'they must have done something wrong' basis. Posted by: Sebastian Holsclaw | November 17, 2007 at 05:36 AM I don't have too may illusions about the drug war. Still, even with all the no-knock warrants, forfeitures, and meddling in other countries, I think the war on terror has crossed two important lines the "drug wars" never did: actual condoning of torture, and actual abandonment of the rule of law. Posted by: John Spragge | November 17, 2007 at 04:25 PM for God's sake, why are we having this discussion? We're having this discussion because evil people have taken over our government and other evil people are making excuses for their evil.

Kings Island Halloween Haunt has been scaring thrill seekers since 2000 when it was originally called Fearfest. There have been some major changes for their 18th year that I think you will enjoy. There are less mazes, but the acting seems to have been improved and the entire experience is more enjoyable. The staff is friendlier, they know where everything is located and the park never looked better this time of the year. Kings Island looks awful frightening during the fall season. Skeletons hide behind tombstones, a sleeping giant awakes from his slumber and a massive jack in the box suddenly pops out. Even the Eiffel Tower has been decked out to look like a creepy monster with a menacing smile. The lighting effects at Kings Island are downright beautiful. Whoever is in charge of lighting should get a raise. One of the newest Scare Zones is called Pumpkin Eaters. If Pumpkin Eaters doesn’t put you in the Halloween Spirit then I don’t know what will. You’ve got carved pumpkins, pumpkins in trees, evil jack-o-lanterns and some sick and grotesque props. My favorite was the pumpkin that was stuffed with severed heads. I get chills just thinking about it. Wolf Pack hasn’t changed much since it was first introduced. You’ll encounter various actors wearing rubber werewolf masks who howl at the moon. This haunt could benefit from makeup and better costumes. Be sure to visit this maze later in the evening since some of the structure has light that shines through. Blackout is your typical Dark Maze. You and a group of people will walk through a dark building as you hang onto the rope in front of you. There are scary sounds, spiders, flashes of light and random madness. Madame Fatale’s Cavern of Terror isn’t drastically different from last year except that the lighting isn’t as good. You’ll be given a flashlight to find your way through the wax museum. I was told not to point the flashlight at the sets, but I’m not sure how I’m supposed to appreciate the detail and props if I can’t see anything. This is one of the better mazes at Halloween Haunt. You’ll explore different areas of the Wax Museum from King Tut’s Tomb to a factory with melted wax figures. It’s fun, but pretty short. Killmart is Kings Island’s version of K-Mart, but with a zombie twist. You’ll enter a super store that’s been taken over by the living dead. This is a pretty realistic haunt that actually resembles a real store. You’ll explore sporting goods, pet supplies, camping and more. It’s not a very scary attraction due to most of the characters being zombies that slowly walk towards you or grunt. Chaos is Kings Island’s newest maze. We had to wait a while to enter because they were having technical difficulties. We thankfully were able to experience Chaos that night. I don’t want to ruin many of the surprises since it features some pretty cool props and effects. You will feel like you’re part of a Science Fiction movie where you’ve been experimented on. They’re hiding some deep dark military secret in this lab and you’ll soon find out. My biggest gripe with Chaos is that too much of the attraction consists of a mirror maze which seemed out of place. It takes you out of the action. Otherwise I quite enjoyed it. (Rock out at Halloween Homecoming!) Urgent Scare and Slaughter House are the final indoor mazes you’ll experience at Halloween Haunt. Slaughter House is the more impressive of the two. Slaughter House is a fun attraction featuring slaughtered animals, inbred killers and lots of torture and bloodshed. It’s a bloody good time, but rather short like most of the mazes at Halloween Haunt. Urgent Scare has been at Halloween Haunt for many years and it could use a little TLC. It just doesn’t have as much of an impact as it once did. It’s a haunted hospital from hell. Watch out or you’ll become a rotting flesh eater. The final two outdoor mazes are Backwoods Bayou and Field of Screams which aren’t much different from last season. Not only does Halloween Haunt feature Haunted Mazes. They also have outdoor scare zones such as Dance of the Macabre, Wasteland, Coney Maul and the previously mentioned Pumpkin Eater. Our favorite part of Halloween Haunt is of course the stage shows. This year Hot Blooded has been replaced by a new show called Haunted Homecoming. This live stage show is a blast. If you like hot chicks, rock music, dancing and classic Halloween movies then you’re in for a treat. This 30 minute extravaganza is very entertaining and the cast should be very proud of their performance. My favorite part was the Little Shop of Horrors portion. Other shows at the park include Blood Drums and Monster Rock. Blood Drums is fun and I quite enjoyed how the lake featured shooting flames synchronized to the beat of the drums. Monster Rock was my least favorite of the stage shows. The audio just wasn’t very good. It sounded muffled which made it hard to hear what the monsters were singing. It was entertaining, but could have been better. There’s so much going on at Halloween Haunt that it’s hard to mention it all in one review. There are tons of food options including food trucks and various restaurants. You can enjoy everything from kettle corn to LaRosa’s Pizza. There are also carnival style games, plenty of rides that are open and much more. Don’t forget to check out Boo Blasters on Boo Hill. This dark ride is very fun. You’ll shoot monsters, ghosts and a wide variety of ghouls as you point your laser gun at them. It’s a classic Kings Island ride for sure. At Halloween Haunt, you will notice a grave site that reads 10/28/18. This is for Firehawk. This is the final year for the popular ride. There’s so much to do at Halloween Haunt that it can be quite exhausting. I highly suggest the Fright Lane pass to skip the lines. It’s well worth the price of admission. It’s very hard to experience everything in one night without it. The Skeleton Key rooms have been removed which I’m fine with. They were neat, but didn’t add much to the mazes if I’m honest. Halloween Haunt no longer has a clown themed attraction since they removed Carnevil. My biggest gripe with Halloween Haunt is that most of the mazes are under 5 minutes which is a shame. With that being said, Halloween Haunt is a great value with tickets as low as $31.99 if purchased online. In years past I would post about all the different ticket options, but you can easily find that information by visiting www.visitkingisland.com/haunt. You can pick up a No BOO necklace that lets the actors know that you don’t want to get scared. It’s $13 a person which is pretty expensive. The parking price varies and starts at $17 for regular and $27 for preferred. Halloween Haunt is a great bang for your buck. We wish the production value was better for the mazes and they could be longer. Most people are going to ride some of the thrill rides, visit a few Haunted Mazes and maybe get a bite to eat. Kings Island is frightfully fun this time of the year. Please Note: Halloween Haunt is a lengthy experience if you’re able to experience everything at the park. Most people won’t unless they purchase a Fright Lane Pass and arrive early. It’s very tough to rate the length of Halloween Haunt, but you are going to be there for a long time. There are a lot of variables that affect the length score for Halloween Haunt. The haunts are rather short, but the Stage Shows are around 30 minutes each.

Most of my recent pieces have been a continuation of my “doodle state”, the tube piece arrived as an alternative idea for viewing purposes. The “can assemblage” is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, it’s happened.The future will bring some larger canvas works I’m still devising. February 2021 Emma Mellersh Here’s some of my work from last year. I’ve had time to create some new designs, and this strange year brought the opportunity to explore on-line sales, such as via the Glastonbury Goddess Conference On-Line Marketplace. I’ve been working with a zero waste shop, Fillerup, here in Radstock, creating festive decorations. I have also been involved in an exciting collaboration with an independent yarn dyer in Wales, so wearable pieces such as Sunshine and Dawn are truly unique creations. January 2021 Terry Bridgeman The flora images are from a series I painted based on our garden borders during shielding at home. Resin sculpture has been in my garden for some years and is constructed of cloth soaked in bronze resin on a metal armature. Its the only one I have left from the five I made. The fish mosaic dates from a good many years ago when I was into stained glass and mosaics. I would like to include a Goethe saying which I have found very helpful over the years when I have been feeling lost. December 2020 Roger Billingham During this difficult year I set myself the challenge of working in a totally different medium – that of working with alcohol inks. Part of the challenge for me has been the contrast between the quite detailed and controlled work I usually do in oils and drawing. As can be seen the resulting images are quite abstract, and therefore each image will ‘speak’ to each person differently, something that I find quite intniguing. My choice of colours come from the natural world that I see on my daily walks – the spectacuar change from the full blowsy colour of summer to the more muted but no less spectacular colours of autumn. November Rachel Howland I have now been an OBA member for 5 years. The main subjects I like to paint are animals, flowers and people. Recently I have been doing watercolours of birds and using metallic paint as a finishing highlight. My most recent painting is a watercolour of a starling with bronze highlights. Peacock Watercolour, Artist Rachel Howland October Penny Lloyd Penny has been painting and drawing in the South West for the best past of thirty years. During lockdown she made many visits to a favourite location, Mells, to make sketches and photographs which she has turned into designs for greetings cards. Later, she saw there were possibilities to create embroideries of the cow parsley that inhabited the grass verges. It was great to get out needle and thread after so long. Her influence are mainly plants and the landscape with its ever changing its ever changing weather patterns. September Neale Mellersh I have been an artist all my life. Over the years I have been lucky enough to exhibit and sell work in Bristol, London, Paris, New York and of course here in Radstock. Most recently I was responsible for conceiving and organising the now famous ‘Old Bakery Artists Gallery’ in RADCO super store The now closed Gallery has passed into the history of the town and is still fondly spoken of by many. I work in water colour deliberately as it is an essential ingredient in creating life. My paintings deal with the evidence of human existence as reflected within the landscape. I have become more and more interested in our ‘condition’ and my work has ever more layers of content. I use colour and etched line to communicate journeys some a nano second some are millions of light years. Astronomy and the stars have always been a big interest for me and I have begun to study nebulae They mark the start of the coalescence of matter into solid form and are part of the eternal journey of ourselves as star dust. I have always been passionate about the natural world. I am a keen naturalist and the County Recorder and a recognised National Expert for moths in Somerset. The connection between Art, Nature, Space and the Human Condition forms the basis of the content of my work. During the lock down period I produced 21 paintings some of which are included here. Currently I am working on a set of landscapes from the StoneHenge area. My work will be on display in a solo exhibition at the 4th Plinth Art Gallery Broad Street Bristol from the 29th January until 29th May 2021. August Janet Jackson I have been a member of OBA since 2014. While the country was in lockdown I decided to concentrate on improving my drawing skills using pencils. All of my drawings are from my own photographs, I have drawn freehand but with the more complex drawings like buildings and some animals I used the grid method as I wanted the drawings to have the correct with proportions. The down side of the grid is the rubbing out the lines before I could get on with the drawing. I have now changed this, still using the grid method, drawing it out on a separate paper, using tracing paper to copy the drawing. I enjoy drawing with my pencils and I have carried on with this method and including when out and about walking locally and I have found I am more observant. July Janneane Drew I have lived and worked in Kent for many years and have recently moved to Somerset where I was fortunate to link up with The Old Bakery Artists. I have been producing art since 2010 when I had a change in career and had the time to develop my interests in the arts. I attended an art course at the University of Creative Arts in Maidstone and this also sparked my interest in photography. When in Kent I was a member of Maidstone Visual Arts Network. After moving to Somerset in 2019 I wanted to continue exhibiting my work and after visiting a local Art Trail I was fortunate to be accepted into The Old Bakery Artists. I enjoy producing portraits of both people and pets along with wildlife and with my photography I tend to look for the more abstract views that often get overlooked by the casual glance of a passer by. June Frank Reeves I have been a member of the OBA for many years. During the corona virus I have been out with the sketch book sketching and painting some of the bridges that span the river Somer, and surrounding countryside. April Diana Walker As I am now self isolated at home for the next few months I hope to get the 2 paintings below finished. The Brown Bears where photographed in Finland last year and the Painting in Bath is part of Kilmersdon Art Group’s project for this year on producing a painting on Global Warming, which will be shown at their Exhibition in 2021. This painting is on Light Pollution. The sculpture of the Otters is waiting to have the base glazed and then to be fired in the gas kiln at Frome Community Pottery next September, which will turn the otters and tree trunk dark brown. The College has let me have some clay so that I can get on with my next sculptures over the next few months I will still go out and about with my camera taking pictures of the local wildlife while keeping isolated, so I have plenty to keep me occupied in these troubling times. March Caroline Walsh-Waring Caroline has been a member of the group for around 4 years now, how time flies. It is a great experience to be able to exhibit with such a range of talented people. We work together to exchange ideas and although our work differs widely it all sits together so well giving our visitors a feast for the eyes. Caroline mainly creates surreal oil paintings, she is exploring the surreal through the creation of 3D sculptures in porcelain and in addition tothis works in pen, ink, watercolour and pencil. Caroline also exhibits in other events, she is a regular at the Bath Arts Fair, Frome Open Studios and Frome Arts Society exhibitions. She also exhibits in events throughout the country and has forged links with artists across the world. Her unusual, bright and surreal style of work gives a refreshing change to more traditional images. February Annie Davenport I am enjoying more time now to explore new painting techniques, with time to experiment and create some of the paintings that I have not had the opportunity to do before. http://www.painters-online.co.uk/artist/AnnieDavenport https://www.redbubble.com/people/anniedavenport January 2020 Andrew Eddleston Andrew is one of the longest members of OBA since the group was formed in 2000. I have been potting, now, for over thirty years. In that time I have worked as a production potter, taught, been a technician, run workshops and creative projects. Currently I am a tutor for Frome Community Pottery and technician. I have always made my own work. It is mainly thrown domestic ware, made from a smooth terracotta clay with slip decoration and finished with transparent coloured glazes. Recently I have gone back to using the technique of raku. I have been making chickens, finished with lustrous glazes and vases using the decorative technique of horse hair and feather raku.
