THIRD STAR: Brian Rolston, New Jersey Devils (0-0-2) – The 36-year-old continues his resurgence. The left wing scored a powerplay goal and assisted on another helping the Devils beat the Lightning 3-2. He added two shots on net and posted a plus one rating giving him an excellent fantasy line. Rolston contributed over five standard categories making him our third star for the second time now.
SECOND STAR: Dan Hamhuis, Nashville Predators (0-1-0) – Not usually known for his offense, the former first rounder contribute a goal and an assist. In addition, he took two shots on net, added four penalty minutes and finished the evening a plus two. In his last four games the defenseman has four points. With the Predators on the rise he may be a good pickup for a #4 as he is a large reason they are winning. Read the rest of this entry »

NHLHS Endorsed Pickups
Any player written about is under 50 percent owned in Yahoo! leagues, although this time there is an exception.
Here are today's picks:
LW: Brian Rolston, New Jersey Devils – Earlier today, we wrote about Rolston's hot streak here. To date his second stint with the Devils has been a disappointment after several successful years with the Wild. New Jersey boasts one of the League's hottest lineups with two solid scoring lines. The combination of regularly playing with Patrik Elias and the recent injury to David Clarkson should keep the 36-year-old fantasy relevant.
Prognosis: A safe add if you need help on the left side. As long as the Devils stay hot so should Rolston.
D: Kurtis Foster, Tampa Bay Lightning – Foster found his way onto our Calgary Flames roster in our series Restoring the Rosters and then made an appearance as a 3 Star. So it is only fitting for us to recommend him. In all seriousness, the 28-year-old plays LW in real life and soon in fantasy hockey making his position eligibility invaluable. I forgot to mention that he plays LW on the Vinny Lecavalier line.
Prognosis: Grab and stream until Alex Tanguay takes his place.

THIRD STAR: Brian Rolston, New Jersey Devils, (0-0-1) -One of two Devils to make this list, the 36-year-old turned in a solid effort last night scoring two goals and adding two assists (2 on the powerplay). Playing with Patrik Elias has paid dividends for the former first rounder as he now has four goals in his last four games. The left wing added a plus three and seven shots on goal making him a contributor in five of six offensive categories.
SECOND STAR: Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins (0-1-0) –Scoring three and adding two assists puts Sid in this spot. Finishing an 8-3 rout over the Rangers with five points, including one on the powerplay, the Stanley Cup Champion added five shots on goal to go along with a plus four rating. All impressive numbers but not enough to propel the Kid into a first star rating.

Will Smith, Kevin Hart, a16z back virtual events startup Run the World

Xiaoyin Qu never predicted how relevant her app would become in a pandemic. The former Facebook employee originally set up Run The World, an online events platform, to reduce the barriers involved in attending big in-person conferences.
She caught a glimpse of the sudden surge in demand for virtual events back in February, as health fears around the coronavirus outbreak resulted in the cancellation of several big conferences. Around that time, Run The World managed to bag over $4 million in seed funding in a round led by venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.
Now, Andreessen Horowitz has returned to back a $10.8 million Series A round in the California-based company, co-led with Peter Thiel's Founders Fund. But some of its new investors aren't your typical venture capitalists. Run The World also grabbed the attention of celebrity investors, with the venture funds of American actor Will Smith and comedian Kevin Hart joining as new backers in the firm.
Qu told CNBC she was connected with Smith and Hart through her existing investors. "They are passionate about the mission of using online events to connect people and build communities," she said. "Both Will and Kevin are visionaries that create content that engages and resonates with people."
"We believe their guidance can be very critical for Run The World to create this new category of engaging online events that the world is seeing for the first time," Qu added. She said the pandemic, though a source of great economic uncertainty, was helping to accelerate a shift toward online events.
Another start-up taking on the online events space, London-headquartered Hopin, raised $6.5 million in a seed round led by Accel back in February. It's seen a similar boom in demand thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Betting on a shift to online events
It's a sign of how venture capitalists and celebrities alike are betting on physical events shifting online as Covid-19 lockdown restrictions have rendered mass gatherings impossible. Whereas companies would usually spend thousands of dollars on booking trips and accommodation to attend major industry conferences, digital platforms are offering an alternative that could help reduce those costs significantly.
"In-person events were being canceled every day but people still wanted and needed to connect," Qu said. "There was a growing demand and interest from investors and users and, combined with the positive feedback, we couldn't walk away from this diverse set of investors."
While Zoom, YouTube and Twitch provide a platform for companies to broadcast talks live, they don't offer the same networking experiences afforded by in-person conferences. Run The World says this is addressed by features like "Cocktail Party," which matches attendees for several minutes at a time to simulate the experience of a face-to-face networking event.
Run The World's app lets users host and join virtual events.
Run The World says it's seen a hundredfold increase in the number of users on its platform in the last three months, though it didn't disclose its total user count. The firm's headcount has doubled to 30 employees over the last two months.
Organizers have now hosted over 2,000 events on the app to date, with attendees joining from 40 different countries. Events organized on the platform have included everything from a hackathon for developers to build software to help fight the coronavirus outbreak, to a conference for tiny home enthusiasts.
Talks between Run The World and its investors began in late March and were done entirely through video conferencing, Qu said. She told CNBC that the additional cash would be "used to scale the business to continue reaching new verticals"
"We believe the next Nobel Prize winner and Billboard artist will meet on Run the World, and our focus is to continue building features like Cocktail Party that will enable the rising artist in LA or the researcher in Romania to collaborate with other like-minded people."

Home Perspectives Fostering hatred
Fostering hatred
Ghassan Khatib
The Israeli settlements and the Israeli settlement expansion process in the occupied Palestinian territories have been and will continue to be the most problematic aspect of the conflict and the greatest obstacle to making peace, even when the two sides are ready for that.
The settlements are built for "security" or ideological purposes. In either case, the settlements themselves are a security burden that requires either further expansions or further security measures. These, in turn, only further inflame the conflict and spark confrontations.
The best illustration is Israel's separation wall. To protect settlements on occupied Palestinian land, Israel has built a wall that in some places veers deep into Palestinian territory. Securing this wall, in turn, requires closures of additional areas and other measures of restrictions on the Palestinian population. Israeli officials justify the building of this wall as a measure aimed at maintaining the security of Israel; in fact, it is built to secure illegally built settlements on occupied land. Had there been no settlements, that wall could have been built on international borders and would not have added more fuel to the fires of the conflict.
Since the illegal Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank including East Jerusalem in 1967, the most frequent causes of the many confrontations between Israelis and Palestinians have been clashes between Palestinians and the Israeli occupation forces during the confiscation of Palestinian land for the creation and expansion of settlements, and the continuing aggressive behavior of settlers against the local population.
Even Palestinian economic difficulties can be attributed to the expansion of these Jewish colonies. The settlements have taken good agricultural land, interrupted the movement of people and goods and the contiguity of territory, and are built over vital water reservoirs.
Israeli propaganda often tries to mix cause with effect by claiming that much of what the Israeli army does is for the protection of settlers. In fact, it is the presence of the settlers and the expansion of settlements that are the major causes of insecurity for both sides.
Needless to say, the continued construction and especially the recent arbitrary expansions of these illegal settlements are killing any Palestinian hope for a possible peace based on independence and the establishment of a viable state. This fading hope, in turn, is the cause of desperation as well as violence and confrontation.
Even during the best years of the peace process, there was a fundamental lack of trust engendered in the Palestinian population as it became clear that negotiations had no effect on the continuing expansion of settlements. The settlements are the most glaring symbol of the occupation. Their expansion constitutes a consolidation of this occupation, and Palestinians were led to believe that the peace process was about ending the occupation. Thus, one of the reasons Palestinians are unable to look optimistically at the possible Israeli evacuation of settlements in Gaza is that this unilateral Israeli plan is being accompanied by dramatic settlement expansion in more than 95 percent of the rest of the occupied territories, namely the West Bank including East Jerusalem.
Occupation and settlement expansions are incompatible with peace and instead foster enmity, hostility and hatred. Only when Israel stops at least the expansion of settlements, will Palestinians see any cause for optimism regarding possible future peaceful relations between the two sides.

Il Brechin City Football Club, meglio noto come Brechin City, è una società calcistica scozzese con sede nella città di Brechin. Partecipante dal 1922 al 1939 e poi dal 1954 fino al 2021 alle divisioni professionistiche scozzesi, ora milita nella Highland Football League, il principale campionato semiprofessionistico della Scozia settentrionale.

Storia
La squadra è stata fondata nel 1906 da giocatori e dirigenti di due club locali, il Brechin Harp e il Brechin Hearts. Esordì nei campionati nazionali nella stagione 1922-23 prendendo parte alla Scottish Division Three, serie poi abolita tre anni più tardi.

Nel 1929 il Brechin City, insieme al Montrose, venne ammesso in Division Two per sostituire due squadre estromesse, Arthurlie e Bathgate. La stagione d'esordio in seconda serie si concluse col 20º e ultimo posto. Negli anni successivi si piazzò sempre nella parte medio-bassa di classifica, ottenendo come miglior risultato il decimo posto nella stagione 1938-39.

Nel 1946, alla ripresa dei campionati dopo la seconda guerra mondiale, si iscrisse nella ricostituita terza serie, la Scottish Division C. Arrivò terzo nel campionato 1948-49, dopodiché la categoria fu riformata, suddivisa in due gironi e con un maggior numero di squadre riserve delle serie superiori. Nel 1954 il Brechin City fu la prima squadra indipendente a vincere il proprio girone e dunque a essere promossa in Division Two.

Le successive stagioni in seconda serie furono positive: si classificò sesto nei campionati 1955-56 e 1956-57, settimo nel 1957-58 e quinto nel 1958-59. Da lì in avanti, tuttavia, il club andò incontro a una crisi di risultati che lo fecero terminare per tre volte all'ultimo posto nella prima parte degli anni sessanta. Inoltre, nel 1964 rischiò di essere escluso dai campionati nazionali a causa di una riforma, sostenuta principalmente dai Rangers, che prevedeva di rimuovere le squadre meno abbienti (Berwick Rangers, Stenhousemuir, Stranraer e lo stesso Brechin City); l'intervento della fazione opposta (tra cui Celtic, Airdrieonians e Hamilton Academical), favorevole al mantenimento di tutte le squadre, scongiurò questa possibilità.

Ad ogni modo le prestazioni sul campo non migliorarono granché, e il Brechin City fu di nuovo ultimo nelle stagioni 1966-67, 1970-71, 1972-73 e 1973-74, segnando il record negativo di piazzamenti a fondo classifica (7 in 15 anni). Nella stagione 1974-75 evitò l'ultimo posto, ma non la retrocessione nella nuova terze serie, la Second Division, dopo 21 stagioni consecutive in Division Two.

In Second Division trascorse il resto del decennio in bassa classifica, per poi risollevarsi negli anni ottanta: dopo un quarto e un quinto posto, nel campionato 1982-83 arrivò primo e fu promosso in First Division. L'anno successivo fu quinto, eguagliando il miglior piazzamento in seconda serie, ma nel 1986-87 retrocesse. Tornato in Second Division, arrivò terzo nel campionato 1988-89 a soli due punti dalla promozione, poi vinse l'anno seguente.

Negli anni novanta altalenò tra la First Division (mai mantenuta più di una stagione), la Second Division (2º posto nel 1992-93) e la Third Division (due secondi posti). Nel 2002 vinse la Third Division e un anno dopo si piazzò secondo in Second Division, dietro al Raith Rovers, compiendo così una doppia promozione con la quale approdò in First Division 2003-04. Di nuovo retrocesso, vinse la Second Division nel 2005 e si riprese la serie superiore, mantenuta ancora una volta per una sola stagione.

A partire dalla stagione 2008-09, il Brechin City ottenne in Second Division/League One piazzamenti validi per disputare i play-off: dopo cinque partecipazioni non andate a buon fine, nel 2017 ha sconfitto Raith Rovers e Alloa Athletic (entrambi ai rigori) e conseguito la promozione in Championship 2017-2018; l'ultima stagione in seconda serie è stata però disastrosa: il club è arrivato ultimo con appena 4 punti e nessuna vittoria in tutto il campionato.

Nel 2018-19 è retrocesso anche dalla League One, mentre nella League Two 2019-2020 stanziava all'ultimo posto al momento dell'interruzione del campionato per la pandemia di COVID-19. Tale interruzione ha evitato l'eventuale spareggio contro la migliore dei campionati dilettantistici. Nel campionato 2020-21, però, si classifica ancora all'ultimo posto e accede allo spareggio contro il Kelty Hearts, squadra della sottostante Highland League. Il Brechin City è sconfitto in entrambe le partite con un complessivo 1-3 e dopo 67 anni esce dai campionati professionistici.

Trudeau's Delegation To Shimon Peres Funeral Praised By Israeli Officials
Trudeau's whirlwind trip to Israel erased any doubts that the Liberal government might be wavering in its support of the Jewish state.
Mike Blanchfield, The Canadian Press CP
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau won the approval of his Israeli hosts for the size and quality of Canada's delegation to Friday's funeral of Shimon Peres.
Trudeau was also one of a small group of international figures to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his home in Jerusalem.
Trudeau's whirlwind trip to the funeral of Israel's legendary 93-year-old statesman erased any lingering doubts that the new Liberal government might, in any way, be wavering in its support of the Jewish state compared with its Conservative predecessors.
The Conservatives, under Stephen Harper, earned plaudits from Israel and criticism from many others for its unequivocal support of Israel in the ongoing conflict with the Palestinians.

The Conservatives were well represented in Jerusalem with Harper, interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose and ex-cabinet minister Stockwell Day in attendance. Ambrose made the trip on Trudeau's government jetliner, part of the non-partisan delegation assembled by the Liberals.
The Canadian delegation, which also included some prominent Canadian Jewish leaders, was noticed and appreciated by Israel on a day when dignitaries from the around the world paid tribute to Peres, the Nobel Peace Prize winner who also is credited with fortifying his country's fighting forces.
"The size and composition of the Canadian delegation shows how much Shimon Peres and his ideas of peace and progress were appreciated by the people of Canada, who were represented by the prime minister, foreign minister, former prime ministers and many more dignitaries," Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshson told The Canadian Press in an email.
"This demonstrates the great commonalities between Canada and Israel, especially our shared desire for peace and working together towards a better future for all."
After the funeral, Trudeau joined the presidents of France and Ukraine, Francois Hollande and Petro Poroshenko, for talks at Netanyahu's residence. The small guest list was rounded out by British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, Brazilian Foreign Minister Jose Serra, and two Russian guests — the president of its upper house of parliament and its deputy foreign minister.
"In his talks with the leaders, Prime Minister Netanyahu noted the great contribution of the late former President Shimon Peres in strengthening and deepening relations with the various countries," Netanyahu's office said in statement.
They also discussed regional security and "ways to advance peace."
David Cape, chair of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, said that "as a Canadian Jew" he was honoured by the composition of Canada's delegation, and that was noticed in Israel.
"There are so many large countries here today but Canada stood out," said Cape, who travelled on Trudeau's plane.
"The Canadian presence speaks to this understanding that Israel is a country that is in a very challenging, very tough neighbourhood."

DELAYS EXPECTED: Summer jams are common on the A-7.
THE Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) has announced they will not be opening extra lanes this summer to reduce tailbacks on the A-7 motorway.
Last Sunday, a traffic jam stretched almost 30 kilometres along the coast as beachgoers returned home, and experts have warned that unless drivers plan their journeys better, such sights will be common until September.
The DGT has refused to open up the hard shoulder, as it has in the past, claiming that the measure prevents emergency vehicles from reaching accidents in time.
Mario Arnaldo, president of the European Automobile Association, has stated that there are few options available.
"Increasing the capacity of the road does not increase its safety," he explained. "Only the information provided to motorists can be improved, so they can plan ahead meaning traffic can disperse more evenly," he added.
Arnaldo criticised the government for their inability to control toll companies who are adding to the problem by raising prices during the summer.
"Malaga will die of success by congestion, tourist entrepreneurs must come up with imaginative solutions to mitigate the toll payment charges to their customers," he said.

Ancient Egyptians described Algol's eclipses
Filed under Astrophysics, Europe, Sweden, University of Helsinki
Inside the superimposed rectangle is the hieratic writing for the word 'Horus'.
Their analysis revealed that the periods of Algol (2.85 days) and the Moon (29.6 days) strongly regulate the actions of deities in this calendar.
– Until now, there were only conjectures that many of the mythological texts of the Cairo Calendar describe astronomical phenomena. We can now unambiguously ascertain that throughout the whole year the actions of many deities in the Cairo Calendar are connected to the regular changes of Algol and the Moon, says Master of Science Sebastian Porceddu.
This research confirms that the first variable star, as well as its period, were discovered much earlier than was previously thought. These two "classical" milestones in the history of natural sciences need to be shifted three millennia backwards in time to 1244 – 1163 BC.
This also confirms the two "modern" astrophysical results reported by the Helsinki group in the year 2013: The first direct observation ever of the expected increase of Algol's period and the accurate long–term estimate for the mass transfer in this binary system.
– I would have serious doubts, if someone claimed, for example, that the Bible contains information about water in Mars. We claimed that Ancient Egyptian religious texts contain astrophysical information about Algol. It was no surprise to us that there were, and there still are, sceptics, says docent Lauri Jetsu.
The research also confirms that the brightest phases of Algol and the Moon had particularly positive meanings for the Ancient Egyptians.
This research "Shifting Milestones of Natural Sciences: The Ancient Egyptian Discovery of Algol's Period Confirmed", L. Jetsu and S. Porceddu was published on December, 17th, 2015 in PLOS ONE

Following a successful crowd-sale event, Estonian-based Etherecash is proud to see its tokens ECH officially listed on QRYPTOS trading platform.
Having successfully completed its crowd-sale, a promising P2P cryptocurrency startup Etherecash has recently announced that its tokens have been officially listed on one of the leading exchange platforms, QRYPTOS.
The Etherecash token ECH has been available on QRYPTOS since February 6, 2018, allowing its contributors to freely trade their tokens. ECH's listing on QRYPTOS was the company's next step forward following the results of a successful ICO event, which helped Etherecash to raise over 40 million USD and attract up to 46000 new registrations. The crowd-sale campaign was officially completed only a week ahead of schedule on December 12, 2017, 6:29 PM (GMT).
After such a successful completion of the crowd-sale event, the lending startup Etherecash is directed mostly towards expanding the company's development team and increasing public knowledge of the ECH token. According to the words of Etherecash founders, the team is currently running alpha and beta testing of the platform and preparing the mobile app for release. The Etherecash debit card, which is set to hold multiple cryptocurrencies at one time, is also undergoing its first stage of testing.
Estonian-based Etherecash intends to establish itself as a trustful and secure financial ecosystem based on blockchain technology. Its platform is designed to offer advanced banking activities supported on the Ethereum blockchain, including peer-to-peer lending, worldwide money transfer and a multi-crypto debit card.
Simply to say, the Etherecash platform represents itself as an adaptable framework for exchanges. The company sees its main goal in providing financially secure, smooth transactions to millions of participants. Its P2P lending system is an interesting addition to the platform that offers crypto holders the chance to borrow up to 80% of their portfolio value.
With Etherecash three-prong financial platform, users are able to enact peer to peer lending, make international money transfers and use crypto debit cards. These three services are aimed to maximize the potential of user assets and leverage crypto holdings to secure fiat loans.
QRYPTOS represents itself QUOINE's own trading platform launched in June 2017. It offers users flexible access to cryptocurrency exchanges. QUOINE is famous within the crypto community as one of the leading fintech companies, offering a platform for trades and exchanges, which leverages blockchain technology to backup all transactions.
QUOINE is based in Asia, with offices distributed across Japan, Singapore, and Vietnam. The company's team has a long history providing next-generation financial services, while working in collaboration with local teams proving both banking and financial advisory roles.
Moreover, QUOINE is proud to be the first international cryptocurrency exchange officially licensed by the Japan Financial Services Agency.

By Kenny Rios
Cedar Rapids, Iowa – A bail bondsman shot a man being arrested as he attempted to flee, according to CRP, and allegedly struck a bondsman with his car.

Jamie Lynn Spears Explains Why Her Acting Return Felt Very Natural for Her
Twelve years since the ending of 'Zoey 101', the younger sister of Britney Spears is making a return to the small screen by taking on the role of Noreen Fitzgibbons on 'Sweet Magnolias'.
AceShowbiz - Jamie Lynn Spears is convinced she was destined to make her acting return in new TV series "Sweet Magnolias" because so many aspects of the project mirrored her own life.
Britney Spears' little sister hasn't flexed her acting muscles since her Nickelodeon show "Zoey 101" ended in 2008, when she became a teenage mum with the birth of her first child.
She subsequently reinvented herself as a country singer, but the 29 year old, now a mother-of-two, is back onscreen in the Netflix adaptation of author Sherryl Woods' hit book series, which revolves around a trio of childhood best friends in the small town of Serenity, South Carolina.
"I had been in denial, not really admitting to myself how much I missed acting," Jamie Lynn tells The Hollywood Reporter.
"I was working on my music for a while and then I focused on my family for a bit. With acting, I was just waiting for a project that made sense."
Jamie Lynn was drawn to the role of Noreen Fitzgibbons, a young nurse who falls pregnant after an affair with Chris Klein's character, Dr. Bill Townsend, because she could relate to so much of her TV alter ego's story.
"It didn't even feel like acting," she explains. "Although it was nerve-racking to get back in front of the camera, this felt very natural for me.
"I remember being 16 years old, being pregnant in a small town. And then on top of it, the whole world was watching. Don't get me wrong, I didn't view myself as a victim. And with Noreen, it was important to not play the victim either. She put herself in a compromising situation. She's a young girl who made some adult decisions and she's trying to take some responsibility for that. That was me, too."
And it wasn't just the Fitzgibbons parallels which struck a chord with Jamie Lynn - the fictional town shares the same name as the Spears family's estate in Louisiana, while her eldest child is called Maddie - just like the main character, played by JoAnna Garcia Swisher.
"There were so many little nods from the universe, telling me that this is what I was supposed to be doing," she says.
"Number one, Serenity being the name of the town. That's a big part of my life, that word in general. Also, we shot in this small town (in Covington, Georgia) that happened to be where my first music producer's wife is from. Her mother came in and watched Ivey (her two-year-old daughter) for me one night while I was on set, because I knew them. It was just so bizarre, but in a cool way.
"Everything literally was just meant to be."
Season one of "Sweet Magnolias" premiered on Netflix on Tuesday, May 19.

Novel Ideas: Rosamund Lupton
Rosamund Lupton looks at the books, poems and plays that inspired her novel, Three Hours.
I am indebted to many literary inspirations in the writing of my book, some of which I wasn't even aware of at the time. Retrospectively, I can see their influence. I find writing a novel daunting, especially at the beginning, but a piece of literature, even a few lines, can act like a torch beam, letting me catch a glimpse of my yet unwritten book.
Troilus & Criseyde by Geoffrey Chaucer
I read this as an undergraduate and have thought about it over the years since, especially the depiction of Criseyde. When we first meet her, Criseyde is lauded by the narrator as being as beautiful as an angel, immortal, heavenly. But in the next stanza she's described as on her knees, dressed in widow's clothes, begging for compassion. It's as if only Chaucer, not his courtly narrator, sees her as afraid and alone and I think this is the point. In my novel there are numerous victims, the pupils and teachers who are held hostage, but I wanted them to be nuanced and to have agency of thought, even though they don't have agency over what is happening. I wanted it to be their stories, their voices, that are heard, so I wrote it from many different points of view and in the back of my mind I had Criseyde, on her knees, alone, having at best half a voice in a medieval poem.
Macbeth by William Shakespeare
I first saw this play aged 12 on a TV at school, with Ian McKellen and Judi Dench in a pared down, starkly brutal production; raw and violent. For me, it remains the darkest, most disturbing and most relevant of all Shakespeare's plays. Even on the page it is a world pervaded by menace, where men must not walk too late, where it is dark even in daylight. It is the only Shakespeare play I know where a young child is killed right in front of the audience. Those early scenes, where Lady Macbeth is urging her husband to murder, are chilling, especially on close reading. I think it is Macbeth's love for his wife that makes him vulnerable. And then, of course, there are the witches. If thinking about the making of a terrorist in the context of Macbeth, then the witches are the people who radicalise others to extreme violence. In my novel, it is the dark net where the witches meet and the teenagers who have taken refuge in the school theatre continue with a dress rehearsal of Macbeth. It is central not only to the themes of my book but also the action. I owe it the most enormous debt.
The Lightless Sky by Gulwali Passarlay with Nadene Ghouri
This non-fiction book had a profound impact on me. It is about Gulwali, a young Afghan boy, who leaves Afghanistan after his father is killed by Americans for allegedly cooperating with the Taliban. Twelve-year-old Gulwali is smuggled into Iran and then travels more than 12 thousand miles across Europe, being trafficked by a cartel of smugglers through Pakistan, Turkey and Bulgaria, by boat to Greece and then trekking through Italy, Belgium, Germany and France. I was prepared, in some way, for the terrifying journey across the Mediterranean in a tiny boat, but not for the brutality this child endured, the imprisonment and the callous indifference. He describes French police taking away his charity-donated blanket and making him stand shivering while they ask pointless questions. It's not going to make headline news, but it's these details that make the story extraordinarily vivid. It's a blistering and eloquent book, which was inspiring and also gave me much-needed perspective. First world problems had never felt quite so trivial as when I was reading this book. Not a bad thought for a complaining novelist (the deadlines! the edits!) to hold for a while.
Four Quartets & The Wasteland by T.S. Eliot
The thing with really great literature, especially poetry, is that you read it at different stages of your life and find not that it has changed, but that you have. Like a kind of spiritual height chart. As a young person, I read The Wasteland full of my own intellectual curiosity, enjoying his linguistic pyrotechnics, the cleverness of it, and therefore of my own understanding of it. Yes, there was beauty there, and meaning, but it was my own mind I was discovering. It was, in retrospect, essentially selfish reading. Later, his poetry became more fundamentally important to me, articulating feelings and a state of existence that I didn't have my own words for, so turned to his (sometimes crossly, as I traipsed out of a tube station in a miserable job, measuring out my life with coffee spoons, being one that death had undone).
NOVEMBER STORM BY ROBERT OLDSHUE
There are books that I read when I'm in the process of writing, often at the mid-way point of a novel, when my mind wants to escape the echoing chamber of my own book and go into somebody else's fictional world for a while. Elizabeth Strout's wonderful novels are top go-to books, their subtle and astute observation transport me within a page. So too are a collection of short stories I discovered relatively recently by Robert Oldshue. His dialogue is sharp and swift, the people abruptly brought into life. He tells each story from a different point of view, from an elderly couple to a haunted psychiatrist, a gay prostitute, a night watchman at a cemetery and all are totally believable.
Rosamund Lupton's Three Hours is published in hardback on January 9.

Olympics – China To Athletes: "WIN Gold At Any Cost For Motherland"
Filed under: Basketball,Culture,Current Affairs,Entertainment,International,Life,Morals,News,Olympics,Random,Science,Society,Sports,Television,Thoughts,Track and Field,Uncategorized,Women — Paulette @ 11:47 am
Tags: China
China assembled its elite athletes for their final rally before the Olympics, earlier this week; their orders from the government were clear and urgent: "To achieve Olympic glory for the motherland is the sacred mission ordered by Communist Party Central," Sports Minister Liu Peng told the 639 hand-picked Olympic athletes in their newly issued red-and-yellow uniforms.
"We have to fulfill our historic responsibility," he exhorted the Chinese Olympians in his speech at a vast government meeting hall.
The Chinese athletes will be under enormous pressure to fulfill the country's expectations in Beijing when the Olympics begin. Nothing less than gold – and plenty of it – will be acceptable.
Most experts are predicting China will top the gold-medal table, pushing ahead of the United States for the first time. It's an extraordinary achievement for a country that did not even join the Olympics until 1984. Home advantage is far from the only reason for its expected success.
China has poured massive resources into its Olympic program in the past eight years. Its team this year is the biggest and strongest in its history, with twice as many athletes as it sent to the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Its annual sports budget has increased exponentially since 2001. It has hired more than 50 foreign coaches since the last Olympics in 2004, including top coaches from Europe, North America, Australia and the former Soviet Bloc.
But beyond all the money, beyond the high-tech training facilities and the elite coaches, China's biggest advantage is its ability to mobilize the resources of state power for a tightly focused goal. Everyone in China accepts that "glory for the motherland" is a sacred enough purpose to warrant almost any measure.
To keep them focused on gold medals, the Chinese Olympians have accepted limits on their freedom that would be unthinkable in the West. Most have been virtually sealed off from the outside world for the past 18 months, prohibited from any commercial or social activities that could distract them from their training.
This sense of almost obsessive determination is exemplified by Huang Yubin, the head coach of China's gymnastics team, who has vowed to leap from a high building if his team fails to improve on its 2004 results. "If we win only one gold again, I will jump off the highest building," he told the China Daily this week.
It is exemplified by Chinese athletes who keep pushing for Olympic glory even after they suffer serious injuries, including Chinese divers who run the risk of blindness because of repeated injuries to their retinas. One study found that 24 per cent of Chinese divers have had retina injuries, yet they are under heavy pressure to keep competing.
And it is exemplified by China's apparent willingness to manipulate the official age of its top gymnasts so they can compete in the Olympics this month. There is strong evidence that at least one female gymnast, He Kexin, is only 14 years old, despite Olympic rules requiring a minimum age of 16. Similar questions are being asked about a second gymnast, Jiang Yuyuan.
China quickly supplied passports showing that both are 16, but the country's state media had repeatedly described He Kexin as 13 or 14 in stories over the past year.
One German coach, hired to guide China's kayaking and canoeing team, discovered that the Chinese-language version of his contract had stated he would "guarantee" a gold medal.
For the Chinese government, gold is everything. "One gold equals 1,000 silvers," Olympic officials sometimes tell their coaches.
China is one of the few countries in the world – Cuba and North Korea are perhaps the only others – that still keep alive the old Soviet system of "state amateurism" that reaped huge harvests of gold medals for countries such as East Germany in the communist era.
The entire resources of the national sports system are focused on creating gold-medal winners, using centralized sports academies that bring together the most promising children from an early age, sometimes as young as 5 or 6.
Coaches are sent across China to search for promising children in kindergartens and schoolyards. They look for kids with the right physique who seem particularly agile as they run and jump. The best youngsters are removed from their families and sent to boarding schools, where everything revolves around their training.
As recently as 1984, China had a mere 17,000 athletes at all levels of organized sports – and many of these were not in Olympic sports. Today, there are 400,000 youngsters in China's state-run athletic academies, where their lives are regimented in a ruthlessly focused drive for perfection.
When the best of these children have developed into Olympians, they are given further help by top scientists, psychologists and technicians. Elite foreign coaches are often hired to push them to the next level. "There's no doubt that these foreign coaches are helping China's Olympic troops," the People's Daily commented last week. "They are adding wings to the tiger."
China is also using the best sports technology that it can find from anywhere in the world. The women's softball team, for example, has purchased a $40,000 state-of-the-art pitching machine with a computerized video component to simulate any pitch that a human can throw. "I have heard that the majority of the team is using the machine and it is beneficial," said Adam Battersby, the president of ProBatter Sports in Milford, Conn., which sold the machine to the Chinese team.
Money is another key factor. Hefty cash bonuses are awarded to every gold medalist. The most celebrated winners could receive more than one million yuan (about $150,000) in cash bonuses, according to Chinese media reports.
But perhaps the best example of China's remarkable drive for gold medals is a strategic campaign called Project 119, which aimed to boost China's performance in three sectors where it traditionally lagged: swimming, athletics and water events such as rowing and sailing. (The project's name was derived from the fact that there were 119 gold medals available in those sports in 2001 when the campaign began. Today, there are 122 gold medals in those same sports.)
"While we have already taken the dominant position in diving and shooting, if we want to go further and become a really strong Olympic power, we have to dig into these three rich mines," Chinese state television declared in 2004 when it first revealed the existence of Project 119.
Officials noted that 119 is also the fire emergency telephone number in China. "It brings a sense of warning and urgency to us, reminding us that we need a breakthrough in these sports," Chinese aquatic sports official Wei Di told Chinese television.
Three years after the project began; it was already achieving some stunning breakthroughs. China won its first-ever gold medal in canoeing at Athens in 2004. And, most spectacularly, China won its first athletics gold in 2004 when Liu Xiang won the 110-metre hurdles.
Overnight, he became a national hero in China. He said it proved that "athletes with yellow skin can run as fast as those with black and white skin."
I plan on boycotting the Olympics. It's a shame at what is happening in China. The manufacturers pretend to pay the workers and so the workers pretend to work and the end result is junk being shipped to the and sold in the United States. I watched a video where a mother dropped her child off at a gymnastics school and she wouldn't see her child for months. She put on a brave face when saying goodbye to her child and when her child was out of sight, she broke down crying. This is horrible.

Cats I know I sound like a simpleton, but I just don't understand why the IOC chose China.
There is no redeeming quality about China, none. They won't even allow 'guests' visiting for the Olympics free access to the internet — it goes without saying that Chinese citizens still only have access to what 'they' want them to see. And it is the Chinese government's profound belief that they are being 'open' and transparent. ❗
All this while they have knocked down the homes of the very, very poor in Beijing in order to build complexes for the Olympics and so that 'guests' won't see the deplorable conditions the citizens of Beijing live in. Plus the unhealthy pollution their citizens live in everyday. 👿
I won't even touch on their horrendous, unacceptable and disgraceful human rights policies. 👿

Paulette, I don't know why China was chosen either. Be careful about buying frozen vegetables and some canned and bottle foods. Read the label to make sure that the product doesn't come from China. I swear they are trying to poison us.
lol! Cats, I am so careful about products I purchase: clothes, furniture, soap, straw, any and everything — no made in china labels. I read an article many months ago where it stated that many China maet shops soak brown cardboard in spices and crop it up like beef, cook it and sell to their citizens. Because it's cheaper people buy and eat it because they don't have a lot of money to spend on food. They was pictures and everything. That had a serious impact on me.
If they do that to their citizens what would they do to me??? No China products for me.
Very sad and scary!!!
CNN did a report on how children in China suffer from Olympic pressure. Brutal treatments such as asking young kids to walk on their hands for 3 minutes plus others. Inhumane treatments such as these to their own people goes against the very spirit of the Oympics. It's a real shame that it's happening in China. I don't plan on watching any part of it.

Annalise — I agree. I want to watch but I will make the sacrifice and not watch the live coverage. The Chinese people are just 'things' to the government there. The gov't have the authority to walk in a home and take the child and the parents will not see that child but once a year if the governmnet sees fit. The government there is wicked and evil on all levels.
chinese are the most happiest citizen in the world with their goverment rule

Although it seems weird to link dry face and acne, the truth is that people with dry skin are just as prone to suffering from an acne breakout as anyone else. Here are some acne cures that you can use to relieve yourself of the unsightly acne pimples and the awful flaky, dry skin.
It is a myth that only people with oily skin are prone to acne. Although people with oily skin are prone to get an acne rash more, acne on dry face is also quite a common occurrence. What this essentially means is that people with dry facial skin have to deal with severe cases of acne attacks similar to the ones afflicting people with oily and normal skin.
So isn't acne associated with oil and clogged pores? Well, yes oil and clogged pores do contribute to acne problems, but the root cause of the issue lies in the bacterial growth, use of improper cosmetics, stress, and an unhealthy diet.
People with dry flaky skin often have acne breakouts when the flaky skin starts sloughing off and ends up clogging the pores. Moreover, most of the acne control treatments tend to dry out the skin, thus aggravating the problem and making it harder for acne to heal. Here are some effective dry face acne cures.
To treat dry skin acne, use an oil-free, moisturizing cleanser instead of soap to clean your face each morning. Soaps contain harsh chemicals that can further dry and damage your dry skin on face, not to mention aggravate the acne.
To get rid of the dry flakey skin on the face, use a cleanser twice in a day. Try to avoid ones with high levels of salicylic acid as it can severely dry the skin. This will allow you to get rid of the clogged pores. Dermatologists also recommend using mild exfoliators for sloughing off the dead skin.
Time to bust another acne myth. Acne is never worsened because of moisturizers. Most of the acne medications contain ingredients such as Benzoyl Peroxide and Retin A that dry out the skin.
To retain the facial skin moisture, you need to use a moisturizer, especially in case of dry face after washing or shaving. Use a gel-based hydrating dry face acne moisturizer rather than one with oil that can worsen the acne.
Ensure that the moisturizers are non-comedogenic so that they do not clog up the pores. Use a pump applicator for applying the moisturizer on the face rather than dipping your fingers into a jar of cream and transferring the bacteria everywhere.
If you stay out in the sun during noon hours, then you might want to use a sunscreen. This not only helps hydrate and moisturize the skin but also protects against the harsh UV rays of the sun. Make sure you pick up a sunscreen that does not contain any oil.
Even for people with dry flaky skin on face a light, oil-free foundation works well in imparting an even tone to the skin. Pair this up with other oil-free cosmetics such as eye shadows and eyeliners.
Some makeup products tend to soak into the skin and make it dry and flakey. In that case, use some gel-containing ingredients such as glycerin to hydrate that portion of the skin.
Drinking lots of fluids keeps your body hydrated and prevents the toxins from clogging up the pores. In fact, drinking at least eight to ten glasses of water each day allows your body to flush out the harmful body toxins resulting in a glowing skin and a healthy body.
Diet with whole grains and organic products with regular workout improves blood circulation and oxygen content of the skin, thus preventing facial dryness. Remember to wash off the sweat after exercising to prevent clogged pores due to excess sweat.
In addition to these, herbal dry face cures such as aloe vera or deep cleansing clay masks are also great alternative treatments for dry face acne. However, if your acne woes do not get resolved by these simple acne cures, then it is best to consult a dermatologist.

The Stage, 13 May 2008

Stephen Barlow is in charge of this revival of Jonathan Kent's staging of Puccini's operatic thriller, which was new two years ago.

Visually, it covers similar territory to the previous long-running Zeffirelli production. Paul Brown's Act I church set is clogged up with railings and a complex staircase arrangement that get in the way, but his Act III execution ground on the top of Castel Sant'Angelo is strikingly atmospheric. The comings and goings in the complex narrative are handled well, with notable cameo appearances by Enrico Fissore's Sacristan and Hubert Francis' Spoletta fitting neatly into the bigger picture.
New to the Royal Opera is Micaela Carosi, whose Tosca is a respectable piece of work, lyrically voiced and ably acted, though she never seizes the audience's attention as she should.
Paolo Gavanelli's roughneck Scarpia is at times coarsely delivered and there is none of the subtlety of a sadistic yet sophisticated aristocrat that is the essence of the role.
Both of them are unlucky in coming up against one of today's leading young tenors at the peak of his form. Jonas Kaufmann not only sings Cavaradossi with distinction and imagination, but gives an acting performance in which every detail of the character and his situation is revealed. This revival will be remembered above all for his participation.
But Antonio Pappano's conducting is of an equal standard, fluid and authoritative, highlighting the peaks and troughs of Puccini's emotional roller coaster with perception.
