The End of Poverty Nears
Growing Poverty—a Threat to All
Lacking material possessions or the necessities of life; at times, inferior in quality; also, pitiable because of spiritual deficiency.
The problem of poverty is an ancient one. Down through the centuries the needy generally have outnumbered those having much. When accepting an act of generosity, Jesus recognized the hard fact that poverty would persist among humans living in imperfection, saying to his disciples: "For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to you can always do them good, but me you do not have always." (Mr 14:7) The Bible presents a balanced view of the problem, expressing compassion for those suffering under oppressive conditions, while also reproving those who, in effect, 'eat their own flesh' because of indolence. (Ec 4:1, 5; Pr 6:6-11) It stresses spiritual prosperity over material prosperity (1Ti 6:17-19); hence, the apostle wrote: "For we have brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out. So, having sustenance and covering, we shall be content with these things." (1Ti 6:7, 8) But the Scriptures do not portray material poverty as a virtue in itself, and they warn of the temptation to steal, which extreme poverty may bring.—Pr 6:30, 31; 30:8, 9; contrast Eph 4:28.
The Poor in Israel. It was not Jehovah's purpose that any of the Israelites suffer poverty. The nation was given an inheritance of land. (Nu 34:2-12) All Israelite families, with the exception of the Levites, who received a tenth of the produce of the land for their service at the sanctuary, shared in that inheritance and therefore had a means of supporting themselves. (Nu 18:20, 21) Landholdings were secure. Laws of inheritance ensured that the land would continue to be held by the family or tribe to which it belonged. (Nu 27:7-11; 36:6-9; De 21:15-17; see INHERITANCE.) It could not be sold in perpetuity. (Le 25:23) In the Jubilee year all hereditary lands that had been sold were restored to their rightful owners. (Le 25:13) Thus even if a man squandered his substance, the inheritance could not be forever lost to his posterity.
Faithful adherence to God's law would largely have prevented poverty among the Israelites. (De 15:4, 5) However, if disobedient, they would not have Jehovah's blessing, and this would lead to impoverishment due to such calamities as invasions by enemy armies and severe drought. (De 28:22-25; compare Jg 6:1-6; 1Ki 17:1; 18:17, 18; Jas 5:17, 18.) Individuals, because of being lazy (Pr 6:10, 11; 10:4; 19:15; 20:13; 24:30-34), drunkards, gluttons (Pr 23:21), or pleasure-seekers (Pr 21:17), could bring poverty on themselves and their families. Then, too, unforeseen circumstances might arise that could plunge persons into poverty. Death could leave behind orphans and widows. Accidents and sickness could temporarily or permanently hinder a person from performing necessary work. For these reasons Jehovah could say to Israel: "Someone poor will never cease to be in the midst of the land."—De 15:11.
The Law, however, did much to make it easier for the poor to cope with their situation. During the harvest they had the right to glean in the fields, orchards, and vineyards and, therefore, did not have to beg for bread or resort to stealing. (Le 19:9, 10; 23:22; De 24:19-21) A needy Israelite could borrow money without having to pay interest, and a spirit of generosity was to be shown toward him. (Ex 22:25; Le 25:35-37; De 15:7-10; see DEBT, DEBTOR.) To build up his financial resources, he could sell his land or sell himself into slavery, on a temporary basis. (Le 25:25-28, 39-54) So as not to put a hardship on the poor, the Law permitted them to present less valuable offerings at the sanctuary.—Le 12:8; 14:21, 22; 27:8.
God's law prescribed equal justice for rich and poor alike, not favoring either one because of his position. (Ex 23:3, 6; Le 19:15) But as the nation of Israel lapsed into unfaithfulness, the poor suffered much oppression.—Isa 10:1, 2; Jer 2:34.
In the First Century C.E. It appears that considerable poverty prevailed among the Jews in the first century C.E. Foreign domination from the time of the Babylonian exile had doubtless interfered with the application of the Mosaic Law, which protected hereditary possessions. (Compare Ne 9:36, 37.) The religious leaders, especially the Pharisees, were more concerned about tradition than instilling genuine love of neighbor and proper regard for aged and needy parents. (Mt 15:5, 6; 23:23; compare Lu 10:29-32.) The money-loving Pharisees had little interest in those who were poor.—Lu 16:14.
Christ Jesus, though, 'felt pity for the crowds, because they were skinned and thrown about like sheep without a shepherd.' (Mt 9:36) His declaring the good news to the poor and oppressed stood in such marked contrast with the attitude of the religious leaders of Judaism that it constituted one of the proofs that he was indeed the Messiah. (Mt 11:5; Lu 4:18; 7:22) To responsive ones it also opened up the glorious privilege of inheriting the heavenly Kingdom.—Mt 5:3; Lu 6:20.
Being in a covenant relationship with God, the Jews were under obligation to assist needy fellow Israelites. (Pr 14:21; 28:27; Isa 58:6, 7; Eze 18:7-9) Appreciating this, Zacchaeus, upon accepting Jesus as the Messiah, exclaimed: "Look! The half of my belongings, Lord, I am giving to the poor." (Lu 19:8) For the same reason, Christ Jesus could say: "When you spread a feast, invite poor people, crippled, lame, blind; and you will be happy, because they have nothing with which to repay you." (Lu 14:13, 14) On another occasion he encouraged a rich young ruler: "Sell all the things you have and distribute to poor people, and you will have treasure in the heavens; and come be my follower." (Lu 18:22) The fact that this man was unwilling to part with his possessions to aid others showed that he had no real concern for the oppressed and thus did not have the qualities required for being a disciple of Jesus.—Lu 18:23.
Jesus' encouragement to assist the poor was in line with what he himself had done. As God's Son in the heavens, he had had everything. But "though he was rich he became poor." As a poor man on earth, he was able to redeem the human race, making available the greatest of riches, that is, the prospect for his followers to become sons of God. (2Co 8:9) Additionally, other great spiritual riches became available to them.—Compare 2Co 6:10; Re 2:9; 3:17, 18.
Also, while on earth, Jesus personally took an interest in the materially poor. He and his apostles had a common fund from which they gave to needy Israelites. (Mt 26:9-11; Mr 14:5-7; Joh 12:5-8; 13:29) The same loving concern for the poor was manifested in later years by Christians as they provided material assistance for their poor brothers. (Ro 15:26; Ga 2:10) But some did forget, making it necessary for the disciple James to reprimand them for bestowing favoritism on the rich and looking down on the poor.—Jas 2:2-9.
Of course, only those who were deserving received material assistance. By no means was laziness encouraged. As the apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians: "If anyone does not want to work, neither let him eat."—2Th 3:10; see BEGGAR, BEGGING; GIFTS OF MERCY.


KDK manufactures torque anchor forgings for applications within the construction industry. These forgings can be made in a variety of head shapes and there are different lengths that they can be forged to. These products are used to support cracked or sunken foundations. These support forgings fit into a larger component assembly. In larger quantities it is more economical to forge the ends of the anchors to create a square female shape for an extension to connect to. Certain applications call for these ends to be forged as opposed to welded on. The forging process creates a single grain flow that runs through the length of the part. Due to the stresses that are able to be absorbed by the forging of this component, this process is favored over castings of a similar nature. This device can then be used to pull back or push up foundation and walls. These anchors are typically galvanized after the steel has been forged and KDK can provide customers with galvanized support forgings. These devices are typically cut or sheared on the then ends and drilled or punched after the heads have been forged depending on the specification of the customer. Support systems can add years of life to a wall or foundation that has been damaged. Please let us know the specific configuration that you are looking for. We have dies available for most standard head shapes and configurations.
KDK has been forging Torque anchor shafts for over 5 years now. KDK Forging delivers consistent quality torque shafts that are used in a variety of construction applications. We have produced forgings for several different customers within this product group.
KDK torque anchors are used in the following industries: construction, utilities.

Home Video: How climate change will disrupt many factors that contribute to our health
Video: How climate change will disrupt many factors that contribute to our health
Professor Alistair Woodward, epidemiologist and biostatistician at the University of Auckland, who contributed to the latest report on climate change and health by Royal Society Te Apārangi, explains the main ways that climate change will disrupt our health.
The most obvious way that climate change affects health is through extreme events – heat waves, floods, storms – those kind of events which are unmistakeable and obviously linked very closely to human health. Hurricane Harvey, Irma, heatwaves in Australia and so on.
There are other ways in which climate change is important to health are a bit more subtle but perhaps more important in the long term.
It's the effect of climate change on natural systems that have effects, for example, on food production, probably worldwide the effect of climate change on food production is going to be the most significant longer term.
If we think about what climate change means for New Zealand, we think that one of the changes that is going to be quite important is an increase in droughts. There's going to be a reduction in rain, particularly on the eastern side of the country and more rain on the west, but the increase in drought frequency is going to put a lot of pressure on our rural economy here in New Zealand and we know that there is a relationship between the rural economy, the welfare of the people working in the rural economy, the frequency of mental health problems. All kinds of health issues are related to communities under stress and that's something we've got to anticipate and prepare for.
Respiratory health is linked to weather and climate. We know that as a consequence of houses that are damp, and unfortunately we do have many houses in New Zealand that are not well equipped to deal with the weather. Where it's wetter, houses are damper. Where houses are damper they're more likely to get mould, mould is a potent cause of respiratory problems, particularly in children who are primed to get asthma.
We don't think that climate change will effect everybody equally or evenly. You can think of it a bit as a threat multiplier. Climate change is going to make life harder for people who are already suffering a bit. So if you take the housing and respiratory illness story then climate change, moving to a damper, wetter environment, particularly in the western part of the country, is going to be more of a threat for people who are living in homes that are damp and leaky than it is for people who can afford to live in well-built, well-heated, well-ventilated homes.
How to respond? That's the question. I think there are important opportunities that go with the challenges. Two examples: Our diets. If we could move our diet to eat less red meat that would be kind to the climate and it would be good to our health. Think about our transport system. If we could become less dependent on motor vehicles and make better use of walking and cycling, for example, then we know that would both reduce emissions and would be good for our health and good for our environment in other ways as well.
I am positive about the future. I can see that the challenge is a really big one but I can see that there are opportunities as well. I'm heartened by what we've been able to achieve in the past in terms of public health. I believe that we have the capacity to deal with this issue.

Q: Remove title from TabularInline in admin When I create a TabularInline in my Django's admin panel, it displays a title per record. How can I change this title? How can I delete this title?
I include a screenshot below. The title I am referring to is here ExportLookupTableElement object. The lines without that title are the extra fields to add new ones. I want the entire table to look like this.

A: You can remove this title by overriding Django's admin css:

*

*Create css/custom_admin.css in your static directory with following code:

.inline-group .tabular tr.has_original td {
    padding-top: 8px;
}

.original {
    display: none;
}

*Edit your admin.py file to include this extra css for ModelAdmin that you want to remove title:

class TestDetailInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = TestDetail

class TestAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    class Media:
        css = {
            'all': ('css/custom_admin.css', )     # Include extra css
        }
    inlines = [TestDetailInline]

Or you can override css for all admin pages by following this answer.

A: If you can afford it for the purposes of your inlined model, returning an empty string from its __str__ method has exactly the same effect as solutions provided above. The title element is still in the HTML, but no longer takes up any visible space.
    class TestDetail(models.Model):
        ...
        def __str__(self):
            return ''

Q: Passing selected arguments from a dictionary to a function Given a set of functions that differ in their signatures and a dictionary that contains (key, value) pairs for each of the required arguments, I want to find an elegant way of passing the dictionary to each function, so that each function may use the parameters from the function it requires.
def first_function(name, age):
    print(name, " ", age)

def second_function(name, gender):
    print(name, " ", gender)

param_dict = {'name': 'Max', 'age': 23, 'gender':'m'}

Passing the param_dict to the function by specifying second_function(**param_dict) throws an error as neither function requires for all three parameters. Is there an elegant solution, such that each functions 'extracts' the parameters it requires?

A: You can simply pass **kwargs as a third arg to get around this problem, since it will consume what it needs out of the dictionary, the rest will remain collected in the kwargs dict:
def first_function(name, age, **kwargs):
    print(name, age)

def second_function(name, gender, **kwargs):
    print(name, gender)

param_dict = {'name': 'Max', 'age': 23, 'gender':'m'}

first_function(**param_dict)
# Max 23

second_function(**param_dict)
# Max m

Discovery of Random Explosive Device Shut It DOWN
Oh, it's just a bomb. The discovery of an explosive device shut down the Mauna Loa eruption viewing area Sunday afternoon while it was properly disposed of. Since then, Hawaii County Police Department reopened the parking area on old Saddle Road. They remind everyone to stay inside the enclosed zone because Volcanoes are dangerous.
Bomb no big deal
On Sunday, December 4, officers with the Hawaii County Police had to chase everyone away from the eruption viewing area, overlooking the spectacular lava blasts from Mauna Loa volcano, because they found a bomb. It took about five hours to remove the hazard to spectators.
Afterward, they sent out an email relating that "the closure was due to an explosive device that was located and has since been neutralized." They make it sound routine and no big deal.
The police were thoughtful enough to add that they weren't on the lookout for a mad bomber or anything. "No communities were at risk during this time." That's reassuring. They weren't going out of their way to actually tell anyone where the bomb came from.
Fox Weather has the answer for that, though. Officials remain a lot more concerned about the lava flow, as it "creeps closer north toward Daniel K. Inouye Highway." As of day 7 following the start of the latest eruption, the road is still open to traffic in both directions.
Forgetting all about the bomb, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported "Fissure 3 as the only active flow" with "minimal movement" and that "it remained near the 7,000-foot elevation." They don't even mention the words "explosive device." Geological Survey officials only care about the explosive side of mother nature.
They similarly reported "the front of the flow was about 2.25 miles from the key highway. Over the previous 24 hours, the flow moved at an average rate of about 40 feet per hour with the rate of movement slowing over the past several days." Explosives or no explosives, the rate of advance may be "highly variable over the coming days and weeks."
It pays to watch the weather
Meteorologists don't study meteors. They don't study explosives either. What they do study is weather and volcanoes have a tendency to wreak havoc with that. Because they watch the volcano so closely, they heard real fast about the bomb scare.
Not satisfied with the lack of a real explanation coming from official sources, FoxWeather found out where the threat came from. You can blame the Pentagon.
The local forecaster was thoughtful enough to explain to viewers that along with the ordinary dangers of 2,000-degree lava and ground which could open up and swallow you without notice, you need to stay in the designated safe volcano viewing area because of "unexploded military ordnance."
It's been lying around and getting more unstable every day since "the morning of December 27, 1935." They tried to bomb the erupting volcano "to prevent the lava flow from advancing toward Wailuku River, Hilo's water supply."
The bomb discovered recently was one of "twenty 600-pound bombs dropped on the lava flow that morning by the Army Bombing Squadron from Luke Field, O'ahu." Volcano Observatory founder Thomas Jaggar came up with the idea.
If "the bombs could destroy the lava tubes or channels, it would stop the flow from advancing." The flow did stop on January 2, 1936 but nobody is sure the bombs even worked. There may still be another one out there.

It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved my students. Many had wronged me. Many had given me insult. For their praise I had no desire. I think it was their future! yes, it was this! They had the future of a vulture –a pale blue future, with a film over it. Whenever I thought about it, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees –very gradually –I made up my mind to teach all my students, even the English Language Learners and thus rid them of a bleak future forever.
I have a confession. I may have underserved the ELL population at my school. I did not realize how much more difficult school was for English language learners. Then a funny thing happened. I moved to Central America for a teaching adventure. And as all good teachers know, we learn more from teaching than any student does. Although we could have enrolled our children—all 5 of them—in an English speaking school, we chose to give them an authentic Costa Rican experience by enrolling them in a Costa Rican public school.
Did I mention my children did not speak Spanish?
Because nothing they did at their school would ever show up on a college transcript, we told them not to worry about grades. Just worry about learning Spanish and making friends (my wife and I took care of their core subjects at home).
Do you have any idea how hard it is to send your kids to school even though they don't speak the language? Do you have any idea how wonderful it is to find a teacher or an administrator who speaks the language and is willing to help? Or who doesn't speak the language and willingly helps?
You can be that teacher for an English Language Learner in your class. And it's not even that hard. If you know you're going to read a story in class, especially one that's difficult, why not provide your English Language Learners an opportunity to read it or listen to it before they come to class? That way they understand the basics of the story and can follow along as it's read in English.
To help you, I've found audio recordings of Edgar Allan Poe short stories in Spanish on YouTube. Why not download a couple and help your students copy them on to a listening device. Just a thought.
Or maybe you teach Spanish and discover your students are about to begin an Edgar Allan Poe unit.

The uncertain economic atmosphere has most NBA teams in frugal mode for this year's free-agency period, especially with everyone saving their pennies (and salary-cap space) for the potentially bigger market in 2010. But there are a few must-haves available, and very high on that list is Knicks forward David Lee.
How hot-topic is Lee's status as a restricted free agent? Important enough that a comparable player, Utah Jazz forward Paul Millsap, says he wants to see what Lee gets on the open market before he signs a deal for himself.
And Lee, whom the Knicks very much want to keep, expects to know very soon - perhaps as early as 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, when the free-agency period begins - just what his league-leading 62 double-doubles, knack for defensive rebounding and terrific outlet passing are worth around the league. "I don't think we'll lack for interest," agent Mark Bartelstein said.
Nate Robinson is the team's other restricted free agent. It is believed that the franchise isn't as desperate to hold on to the 5-9 Robinson, who could be moved in a sign-and-trade scenario. But if interest is low, the Knicks - who are owned by Cablevision, which also owns Newsday - could keep him at a major discount, especially if there aren't any better options on the open market to fill the third-guard role in the rotation.
With only the mid-level exception (about $5.5 million per) to offer, the Knicks once again are limited with their spending. Multiple sources said free agent Jason Kidd is a target. Kidd, 36, would give the Knicks some credibility, though his game is fading fast. He turned down a three-year deal for about $8 million per season from the Mavericks, so it is hard to believe he would take a short-term deal at the mid-level to join the 32-win Knicks.
The Knicks can match any offer sheet made for Robinson or Lee, but if the number gets too high and impacts the coveted cap space in 2010, the decision will get tougher. Before the season, Lee was believed to be looking for about $10 million per season. Robinson was seeking significantly less, but because his popularity and marketability soared after his second slam-dunk title and he averaged 17.2 points per game, his number will go up.
The question for the Knicks is, at what number do they fold and explore sign-and-trade options for either?
Donnie Walsh's rebuilding plan involves having cap flexibility in 2010 and beyond. But although Robinson may be expendable, Lee is considered an important part of a core of players Walsh and Mike D'Antoni want to have to attract superstar-caliber players.
Lee has expressed a desire to stay in New York and it is possible he would be open to working his deal to protect the cap situation. But Bartelstein said the Knicks have had Lee, the 30th overall pick in 2005, at a major discount already.
"At some point," he said, "you've got to look out for yourself."

I am a solicitor specialising in charity law and governance.
I am one of the founder members of UKRAA and came to radio astronomy from optical astronomy, driven by an interest in electronics and making things.
I like to think 'outside of the box' and enjoy solving problems. I hold UK and US amateur radio licences (M0LUT and K2LUT).
Physicist, worked on transistor fabrication, reliability, failure mechanisms and testing as a senior engineer at BT Reseach Labs. Pretending to be an Electronic Engineer for most of the time.
Final years before retirement were as a Director of a Radio Engineering company.
Interests are amateur radio and Low Frequency propagation, and is a member of the RSGB Propagation Studies Committee.
Passionately interested in all things scientific particularly if they involve electronics.
Electronic engineer, now working in the design of security systems.
Other interests include, Hill walking and Scouting.
My long standing interest in astronomy was re-energised when I discovered amateur radio astronomy. I enjoy building the instruments needed for making observations, currently VLF and occasionally meteors.
Electronics and astronomy have always been my favourite hobbies and following retirement after a career lecturing in healthcare technology at Nottingham University I have rekindled these interests.
A presentation at my local astronomy club by a leading researcher from Jodrell Bank made me realise how accessible radio astronomy could be to the amateur, whilst combining two of my passions!
I spent 28 years in Primary Education with the majority of this time as a Deputy Headteacher. I then moved to Stansted Airport working in several departments.
I became Flight Analysis Manager which included an invitation to Boeing 737 Aircraft Factory, Renton, Seattle, assisting in developing a solution to the aircraft power receptacle and finally moving once more to become Environment Standards Manager which included setting up the airport wide Waste and Recycling strategy with zero waste to landfill. Now retired and focusing on Photography and Astronomy.
The UK Radio Astronomy Association (UKRAA) was set up in 2008 with the support of the Radio Astronomy Group of the British Astronomical Association to handle the development and sale of radio astronomy equipment.

Dear Annie: A friend sent me your column on why new managers need to learn how to delegate, because I've only been a boss for a few months myself and, frankly, I can use all the help I can get. So far, leading my brand-management team (nine full-time employees and three freelancers) has gone pretty smoothly, except for one thing. One of my direct reports — I'll call him Joe — is a brilliant, creative source of amazing ideas, but he's totally unreliable. He misses project deadlines, skips important meetings, and sometimes just doesn't show up at all.
—Define the problem. Whatever you've already told Joe about his shortcomings may not have been specific enough. Instead of saying, for instance, "You're unreliable," be ready with a list, including dates and details, of exactly which deadlines and meetings he's missed and which days he was AWOL. It may sound obvious, but spelling all this out drives home the point that his flakiness is not acceptable."Your expectations have to be clear," Grady says. "Managers often make the mistake of assuming that employees know what's expected of them. But do they?" For instance, let's say that a few months ago, under the team leader before you, most team meetings were optional. If attendance at all of them is now mandatory, does Joe (and the rest of the team) know that?
—"Tell me what's going on with you." Give Joe a chance to say whatever's on his mind. "Sometimes silence makes us uncomfortable, so we don't give the other person time to compose his thoughts," Grady says. "Be quiet and just listen without judging, criticizing, or even commenting." You don't say how long Joe has been acting erratically but, if it's a recent change, it might reflect something else in his life — trouble at home, a medical problem, or any of the thousand other things that can bedevil and distract us. You'll never know if you don't let him tell you.
—Agree on a solution. Turn the discussion to the future, and talk about your expectations in positive terms. "Define what you want to see," Grady advises, adding that this approach is similar to getting kids to pipe down: "'Stop yelling in the house!' isn't nearly as effective as, 'Please use your indoor voice,' so describe the specific behavior you do expect," she says. Answer any questions Joe might have, and ask whether he understands that his future on the team depends on his changing his ways. Putting the main points of this conversation in writing would be smart. Give Joe a copy, and keep one for your (and potentially HR's) records.
—Follow up. "People repeat behavior that gets attention," Grady notes. So, if and when Joe starts shaping up, take the time to let him know you've noticed and you appreciate it.
What if nothing changes? Then it will be up to you to decide whether or not you can tolerate his unreliability for the sake of his ideas. You mention that you don't want to consider firing him, but once you've made it clear what you and the rest of the team need from him, the ball is in his court.


4-1 last night and I'm up from being down last night.One of the most important lessons as a sports investor is to remember that you can't beat it every day, sometimes it beats you.
I'm particularly proud of my NBA picks last night knowing that LBJ would go off and will his team to a victory, plus the cover. Also the Clippers/Houston series is living up to the hype with fantastic offense and no defense. It took awhile for the over to hit only because the Clippers forgot how to score in the fourth quarter. Below you can see my record in the NBA which up to this point has been the most difficult sport to figure out.
Not much going on today. I have one play pending and only have one more. I think Crawford has a relapse and the Wild play loose which makes for a lot of goals, I do think the Bolts win tonight but I don't like the price.

Following the conclusion Game of Thrones, many believed HBO would lose numerous subscribers, but after watching full-length Watchmen trailer released over the weekend, we have no doubt HBO will continue to keep and find new customers. While the trailer doesn't really provide any more information than the teaser released back in May, from what we can tell, Damon Lindelof's take on
The highly anticipated Watchmen series premieres on HBO this coming October and stars Regina King, Don Johnson, Adelaide Clemens, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Frances Fisher, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jean Smart, and Jeremy Irons.

Westworld – Season 4
HBO also released the season three trailer for the star-studded science fiction series Westworld, based on Michael Crichton's 1973 film of the same name. The two-minute trailer provided gave us a sneak peek at Dolores adjusting to the real world, meeting Caleb, Bernard returning to the Delos retirement home and Meave in what appears to be World War II theme park.
The upcoming season, which is set to premiere in 2020, was described by creator Jonathan Nolan as "less of a guessing game and more of an experience," which has us even more excited about the shows return.
His Dark Materials – Season 1
His Dark Materials is an upcoming fantasy series from HBO and BBC and is based on Philip Pullman's novels of the same name and the source of the 2007 film, The Golden Compass. Although the film didn't go as planned, based on what we've seen thus far from the teasers and the trailer below, we have high hopes for His Dark Materials. The series stars Dafne Keen as Lyra, James McAvoy as Lord Asriel, and Ruth Wilson as Marisa Coulter.
His Dark Materials arrives on HBO this coming fall.
Even though we thought a new trailer was coming, the new Dark Fate featurette released was arguable between than a four-minute spoiler-filled trailer. Rather, the action-packed video features various clips from the upcoming film but focused heavily on commentary from director Tim Miller, James Cameron, Linda Hamilton and more. It was also announced during the panel that Edward Furlong will reprise his role as John Connor.

The Walking Dead – Season 10
AMC revealed a surprisingly entertaining four-minute trailer for the tenth season of The Walking Dead during SDCC 2019 and it focused heavily on the continuation of the Whisperers War, Negan's redemption arc, and introduced some new characters to the series. It was also announced over the weekend that this will be Danai Gurira final season playing Michonne.
The tenth season of The Walking Dead returns on October 6, 2019.
The Witcher – Season 1
Based on the Andrzej Sapkowski's book series of the same name, The Witcher is an upcoming fantasy drama series created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich. The Netflix original tells the story of "Geralt of Rivia," a lonely monster hunter struggling to find his place in a world filled with corrupted and dangerous people. The series stars Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, Freya Allan as Princess Ciri, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer of Vengerberg, Jodhi May as Queen Calanthe, and Björn Hlynur Haraldsson as King Fist.
The Witcher will be available on Netflix in late 2019.

Netflix unveiled some new footage from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance this weekend, an upcoming series and prequel to Frank Oz and Jim Henson's 1982 fantasy film, The Dark Crystal.

Everything Coming to Netflix in February 2020
Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019)
Even though the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot might seem like the sequel nobody asked for (which it is), my friends and I would watch Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back all the time back in the day, so a reboot movie about Jay and Silent Bob going to Hollywood to stop a Bluntman and Chronic reboot movie from being made sounds ironically entertaining to me. The reboot trailer also features a variety of cameos from Chris Hemsworth, Melissa Benoist, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and many more Hollywood stars.
The Jay and Silent Bob Reboot movie arrives in theatres on October 15, 2019.
It: Chapter 2 (2019)
The final trailer for It Chapter Two gave me chills and features a more intense and terrifying fight between the Losers Club and Pennywise, once again played by Bill Skarsgård. The Loser club will be played by James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone, Andy Bean. The first chapter released back in 2017 grossed over $700 million and based on what we're seeing from Chapter 2, we have no doubt the sequel surpass a billion.
It: Chapter 2 opens on September 6, 2019.
Top Gun: Maverick is an upcoming action movie and sequel of Tony Scott's 1986 film Top Gun, starring Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Ed Harris, and the featuring the return of Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer.

India vs South Africa, 3rd T20I: Mithali Raj and Co look to set the bar high for Virat Kohli and his men
Updated Feb 18, 2018 | 13:00 IST | PTI
A victory today will not only ensure an unassailable lead 3-0 lead but also make Harmanpreet Kaur's team first among equals to have won two series on a single tour of South Africa.

Johannesburg: The Indian women are on the cusp of setting a rare benchmark for their male counterparts as they eye a maiden double series win on South African soil when they take on the hosts in the third Twenty20 International here tomorrow. Having won the three-match ODI series 2-1, India are currently leading the five-match T20 series 2-0. A victory today will not only ensure an unassailable lead 3-0 lead but also make Harmanpreet Kaur's team first among equals to have won two series on a single tour of South Africa.
A win will also mean that the women's team have now won T20 series in both Australia and South Africa.
With the men's team also starting their T20 campaign at the same venue after the women's match, the onus will be on the Smriti Mandhanas and Mithali Rajs to set the bar high for Virat Kohli's team.
The added incentive is that the series will be telecast live before the men's matches.
The women have so far put up a near flawless show in both the T20 encounters, winning by seven and nine wickets respectively.
Veteran Raj, who no longer leads the side in the shortest format, has displayed her wealth of experience with successive half-centuries -- 54 no off 48 balls and 76 no off 61 balls -- bagging 'Player of the Match' on both occasions.
Left-handed batter Mandhana, after a fantastic one day series, also played her part in the second game, scoring 57 off 42 balls that had three huge sixes.
The bowling unit has also performed admirably with Shikha Pandey leading the charge in the absence of an injured Jhulan Goswami. She has received able support from leg-spinner Poonam Yadav, off-break bowler Anuja Patil and all-rounder Deepti Sharma.
It will be interesting to see whether the Indian team management -- coach Tushar Arothe, skipper Harmanpreet and senior most player Mithali -- decide on playing veteran Rumeli Dhar, who will be donning national colours after a gap of six years.

seems like I just can't win, i've tried for years to plant paw paws and of course my order was short 2 paw paws and 2 elderberries..wah.
well so i changed my plans in my food forest garden as what would go where, naturally since i'm tired of ordering paw paws, things are going to be planned differently.
Well now my food forest begins on the north end by the woods with 3 walnuts (black, carpathian and butternut), then 20' south is a hedge of 4 wild plum, 6 hazelnuts interplanted with 3 mulberries.
then south of that are two areas of circle gardens, the two on the left are separated by a hugel bed and those 3 beds have dwarf apple tree guilds in each bed under planted by herbs, perennial and annual fruits and vegetables.
to the west of this set of circle beds now are 2 chestnuts, one large fruited hawthorn between them, one buffalo berry and about a dozen or so raspberries (gold, red and black) and some blackberrries. Between the circle beds and the wild plum hedge is a huge bed with coles, tomatos, lettuces, carrots, beets, etc as well as another rhubarb (all over) and a few herbs.
to the south of this section is a hedge that now has 9 blueberries and 2 serviceberry trees.
to the east of this entire combination is another circle garden that has an ornamental red canadian cherry in the center of a lawn surrounded by 4 curved beds with paths going out to each direction N S E and W. The two northern curved beds each has a dwarf pear tree, a goumi, a lilac, a climbing rose, a grapevine to go over an arbor with swing, jerusalem artichokes, several squash plants, tomato plants and other annual vegetables and herbs as well as morning glories going over the southern arches and luffa.
the two south beds are each different, the one on the west has another dwarf pear and a goumi and the morning glories, luffa, herbs and squash and tomatos as well as cucumbers and a childs swing over boards with sedum, and a grape and climbing rose over the arbor and the west bed is larger than the others going off to the south another 16' and it has a mountain ash, goumi, as well as the morning glories and luffa and grapes and clilmbing roses, but also tons of asparagus planted with a mulch of pumpkins, tomatos, peppers, and rhubarb, as well as some coles..and a sweet cherry tree dwarf...and iris and herbs.
Other than the one ornamental cherry and the asparagus, horseradish and rhubarb, this bed is all new since last spring, so nearly all of the trees and shrubs are tiny babies, but I'm very pleased with the way it is working out.
Last year the chestnuts had leaves on them, but so far this year there are no leaves on them, so those might not make it. and a few of the other small trees were just planted yesterday and last week (mulberries), so there are some ifs on those too.
I also have perennial flowers planted here and there in these gardens as well as some annual flowers and lots and lots of baby herb plants, daffodills and some minor bulbs like crocus and grape hyacinths..There are onions and marigolds and chives and garlic chives planted throughout.
It was a big project, but it is nearly finished now (well if a garden is ever finished) . Basically now it is maintaining, replanting annuals as they are harvested, moving in a few more perennials, allowing some of the hardy ones to reseed, and see where we go from there..
Surrounding these areas are a woods I'm developing into a managed forest garden, as well as a 175 x 75 pond that I'm planting around to make a lovely setting and south of that is a grove of aspens that i've still yet to develop and a windbreak to the west that will need a few more trees..and then of course the dozens of perennial mixed beds (trees, shrubs, flowers, herbs, etc. ) all around our house and property besides this new area..but this new area has been my 2009 and 2010 project garden...and I'm very happy to nearly have the permanent plantings done. I'll still be bringing in perennial division as i'm able..but mostly i'm fairly satisfied with it. May also have to replace some dead trees if they don't do their thing..this year.
I'd love to see pics!
well the goumi i planted yesterday were about 2" tall or less, the other trees are mostly dormant sticks or have a few leaves just starting to come on (i live in Michigan and everything just arrived this week or last and are dormant baby stock, i can't afford larger trees so i buy the babies and let them grow). Not much to take photographs of, but i'll snap some photographs today and see if i can't give an IDEA of what is growing..even my squash and beans are just putting out their second sets of leaves here in Michigan..I know people that live in other areas have things much farther along than we do, but i still am planting seeds here of some items..
It sounds wonderful... even tiny sticks.
I just planted 6 trees and in 2 weeks only the plum has leaves.
The rest are still completely dormant, and I too am wondering if they are alive.
I am in western Washington in the temperate rain forest, and it seems way warm enough for sprouting to me.
I am wondering about this growing season.
Is it cold still in MI ?
jeanna, we had the warmest spring on record in Michigan, however it has cooled down and we had overnights of 34 and then 35 twice this week so far, so it is kinda scarey. The entire apple crop in Michigan has pretty much been destroyed, a few places are getting a few apples..we lost our apples, cherries, pears, some strawberries, and all of our lilacs froze when it dropped to 20 on Mother's day weekend..but that isn't unusual when you have a very warm spring ,, cause everything buds out early and then gets zapped by late season frosts.
we are predicted to have a cool summer though.
i listed a link above to some photos..most of my perennials are still not flowering but the poppies and some lupines are in bloom, i sure hope my fruit and nut trees make it but i'm not unfamiliar with losing trees around here.
They are more orderly than mine, which are stuck in the forest clearing.
We have had another week of stormy rain, which translates as late winter-early spring weather.
I assume the rest of the country will not be having frost danger, but it could.
So, I am just saying this as a warning to keep the covers nearby if you still have fruit.
I think I will plant more peas and wait on the beans for now.
Maybe there will be some summer soon.
was very excited to see leaves on two of the three mulberries today and the mtn ash that I planted..my food forest garden is growing so well with the new rainy and cooler weather ..the drought and 90's was a bit much for it.
Here in Michigan i was taking a chance on planting early, but i'm pleased to say that i have nearly everything i planted growing well and even have some cool weather crops hanging on now that it got wetter and cooler, blossoms coming on my tomatoes (generally we don't even plant tomatoes here for another week)..everything is ahead, and i'm eating out of my garden every day now ..again..which is so nice on the food budget.
A little piece of paradise! Really nice job, Brenda. Congrats. Truly inspiring.
thanks Chelle and Rose, I know sometimes people don't believe me when I say what i'm doing around my property, as it does seem like alot..but basically that is all I have to do anymore is work on my house and property since my husband's head injury in 1985. If I didn't have my gardens, I would likely go mad.
We have nearly broken the drought, although the pond is still down more than a foot water level, we have had light rains over night every few nights this past couple of weeks, so things are greening up and growing now..2 of the 3 mulberries have some leaves on them, the mountain ash has leaves opening that i put in last week, and the pears that were wilting really bad are nice and healthy looking now..thank God.. i hate to lose trees to drought or whatever.
also my annual vegetables have really taken off and are growing like gangbusters now, I picked the first of my sugar snap peas yesterday, oh that was wonderful. My greens are ready to pick and the coles are growing nice, the tomatoes have some blossoms now and the seeded ones are up and growing but still only have their seed leaves. Beans are up but no flowers on them yet, and all of my squahs, melons, cukes, pumpkins, corn etc are up and growing well. My black raspberries have gobs and gobs of green berries, not sure when they'll actually ripen but there is cream in the frig waiting for them.
even the weeds are growing really well, so i have been pulling them to use as a mulcha round my plants, as mulch material is still being elusive around here.

It is amazing to me the different take on gardening when you see it through permie eyes... I have come to even appreciate weeds now too!
I've just looked through your photos Brenda - what an amazing collection of different garden areas and plants !
I especially love the photo with the lupins - is the red leaved plant a Cotinus ?
Irene, yes it is. Smoke bush dies to the ground most winters here in Michigan although it is hardy and will grow back quickly from the roots. Thus, we seldom get the "smoke" on our smoke bushes.
I however am smitten with colorful foliages and variaged foliages, as even when there are no flowers in bloom, you get a lot of color.
I have red leafed cotinus, barberry, cherry, plum, heuchera, jap maples and others. I have alot of golden leaf, white leaf and blue leafed plants too. I am a bit ashamed to admit I am a plant collector even though I really can't afford to be. I find it very difficult to not buy a new plant whenever i see them, have to control myself.
I also do try to have blooms in each of the gardens of some kind every time of year, except mid winter, but there is still winter color with blue gold and green evergreens.
Brenda - I am really enjoying seeing your pictures too! Bunnies ate all my beans but my cucumbers, zucchini, and pumpkins are doing really well. My tomatoes are flowering and a few have baby tomatoes. I really can't wait to enjoy those! I'm excited to add some berries for next year. When is the best time to add them? I was thinking of buying some of the sad looking ones and seeing if they survive. What are your thoughts? We are in Michigan too - east of Detroit.
not much changes, but a little more stuff growing and different flowers flowering.
I always have something different flowering week to week, so things change practically every day here. This week my raspberries and strawberries are ripe, hallelujah..and i'm picking a lot of peas now that our weather has cooled back to normal ranges.
i have flowers on my summer squash and pumpkins and tomatoes now and beans should flower next week.
i have family and friends and neighbors in the Detroit area (our neighbor is a pilot out of detroit bought my MIL's house next door for their vacation home).
If you can come by some berry bushes you can still plant them yet this year, maybe in the cooler weather of the fall..if you can manage to save the primocanes intact.

House and Senate Democrats introduced Net neutrality legislation designed to preserve FCC anti-discrimination rules that were struck down by a D.C. appellate court last month.
Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) introduced the Open Internet Preservation Act and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) introduced a companion bill in the Senate. The authors said that the legislation would restore the FCC's rules until it has a chance to take new action to establish Net neutrality provisions that will pass legal muster.
"Our bill very simply ensures that consumers can continue to access the content and applications of their choosing online," Waxman said in a statement. "The FCC can and must quickly exercise the authorities the D.C. Circuit recognized to reinstate the Open Internet rules."
The legislation has 12 co-sponsors. But it faces an uncertain future in the House, where the Republican leaders have been critical of the FCC's rules, arguing that they are unnecessary and stifle innovation.
The FCC passed its Net neutrality rules in 2010, but Verizon challenged its authority to do so. In its ruling last month, the D.C. Circuit recognized that the agency could impose rules of the road for the Internet but found fault with the way the FCC did it. The judges said that the anti-discrimination provision and other rules were akin to the type of regulation that the agency normally gives to "common carriers" like phone services, but the FCC classifies the Internet differently, as an information service.
The D.C. Circuit's decision unleashed a wave of commentary that the Internet is at risk of becoming like the tier system of cable TV, in which subscribers will be forced to pay more for the most desired content. Eshoo said that "the Internet as we know it suffered a blow.
"By striking down rules that prevented broadband providers from discriminating against or even blocking online content, the court's decision threatens the openness and freedom that has defined the success of the Internet," Eshoo said.
FCC chairman Tom Wheeler has not said which next step the agency will take. Although one of the straightforward approaches would be for the FCC to classify the Internet as a common carrier or telecommunications service, Republican lawmakers have warned that such a move would face a storm of protest from telecommunications firms and broadband providers, as well as Wall Street investors.
There is pressure to restore the rules. Last week, Free Press and a coalition of 80 organizations delivered petitions with more than 1 million signatures to reclassify the Internet as a telecommunications service.
