There's something about visual communication and a classroom setting that makes people pay just a little more attention to your message. Webinars are the internet's way of recreating this effect online. Maybe you want to run webinars to generate leads and demonstrate expertise to potential clients. Maybe you want to teach a course, train employees remotely, or host your own online summit or virtual conference.
But no matter how great your content is or how watertight your webinar promotions are, if you don't have a webinar platform that provides you and your audience with the right experience, it's all for nothing.
Running a webinar is already stressful enough—you need webinar software that's user-friendly and reliable. We rounded up the best webinar software to help you quickly and easily set up a webinar—whether you're running a paid online class or a demo for potential new users—based on your budget, webinar features, and what you want to get our of your webinars.
What Makes Great Webinar Software?
I'm glad you asked—people look for different things in a webinar platform. Some only need a simple tool that will allow them to make a webinar, an online live-streamed presentation. Some marketers want various tools and features that allow them to interact with their audience. Some presenters want to be able to record their webinar once, then release the recording as a separate event.
The wish list for webinar software varies quite a bit. What doesn't vary is the need for simple and quick webinar registration, a dependable broadcasting experience, intuitive controls for presenter and audience alike, and the ability to track key webinar metrics (such as attendance and attentiveness).
We tested over 20 apps for this roundup of webinar software choices, looking for ones that ace these core requirements, while also adding their own flavor to the webinar experience—be that with live engagement tools, enhanced marketing and branding features, or versatile webinar formats.
If you want to spend more time focusing on your audience and content than learning how to run webinars on platforms with a lot of complex features, AnyMeeting's no-nonsense interface and will be your friend as you get started with webinars.
AnyMeeting lets you create and customize your registration form and confirmation and reminder emails, then even invite attendees directly from the app. While AnyMeeting doesn't have a native way to embed this registration form in your own site, it does give you the option to import registrants via a CSV, so you could register attendees via a separate form app. Through the AnyMeeting Zapier integration, you can also have registrants directly added from the tool of your choice.
When presenting, you won't have to worry about screen-sharing—AnyMeeting lets you upload your presentation file directly to the app and run your slides from the web. You can even stream your webcam at the same time. Need to run the same presentation multiple times? AnyMeeting lets you simply upload a recording of a past webinar to re-play and save you time and effort. Speaking of recordings, AnyMeeting can record your webinar for you automatically, so you never have to panic about that mid-webinar.
One of the biggest challenges in marketing webinars is keeping attendees engaged during the presentation. AnyMeeting offers presenters several options for interacting with attendees—all easy to reach from your on-air presenter view. With just one click, you can share PDFs and PPT files—a useful way to offer audiences extra perks like a copy of the slides for sticking around to the end of your presentation. View, address, and dismiss audience questions from a dedicated pop-up. Create, run, and display polls to engage and survey your audience. After you end the webinar, you can automatically direct attendees to the URL of your choice, as well as generate a custom survey.
Since every marketer will have different preferences and goals for their webinars, and every company has different budgets to work with, it's hard to declare one webinar app a definitive winner. However, powerful marketing features and integrations combined with an intuitive, flexible interface makes BigMarker a compelling top choice for most business needs.
If you need a marketing automation tool designed exclusively for webinar marketing, BigMarker is a strong choice. This app is designed to make marketing your webinar frictionless and includes a suite of built-in marketing tools to help you do just that.
Start by customizing the look of your webinar landing page, registration form, and webinar "room." These can all be completely customized with templates and basic design tools (such as image upload and color/font settings) to suit your brand and webinar topics.
If you want to reach a broader audience with your webinar, take advantage of BigMarker's "marketplace" of webinars, where you can publicly list your webinar and create a YouTube-like channel of all your past public webinars. These can be discovered in both Google and BigMarker searches—make sure you fill out the SEO meta data fields for your webinar to help its discoverability.
Import lists of email contacts into BigMarker via CSV or through a sync with Salesforce, Hubspot, MailChimp, or any one of the other integrated CRMs. Use these lists within BigMarker to send customized webinar invitations to your subscribers. You can even manage separate contact lists within BigMarker, to send better-targeted email invitations directly from the app.
The webinar presenting process is just as smooth. Upload your presentation before the event, so it's available to all presenters and easy to access without sharing your screen. Queue polls and document handouts to deliver to your audience at any point in the webinar. But perhaps the most exciting presentation tool BigMarker offers (at least to me as a marketer) is its ability to connect webinar chat with Twitter, so that audience members can interact with you via Twitter hashtag, naturally boosting social visibility for your webinar and brand.
BigMarker integrates directly with popular apps like Salesforce, MailChimp, and Google Analytics—as well as hundreds more apps through their Zapier integration—so it's easy to move contacts, content, and data between all the apps you use for your business.
BigMarker's Zapier integration is currently in private beta, but you can gain access through your BigMarker account under the Integrations tab.
With one of the easiest-to-use webinar interfaces on the market married to flexible customization options, ClickMeeting is a clear choice if you're inexperienced with webinars, but want more design control over your webinar registration, webinar "room," and reminder emails.
Run standard one-time webinar events or set up a permanent webinar—which will give you a static room link that you can use again and again. While unfortunately you can't use this feature to auto-run evergreen webinars, since a presenter or moderator is required to start the event, this does give you a lot of flexibility with sales webinars and running pre-recorded video.
ClickMeeting makes it easy to customize the messaging and branding around your webinar, without being overwhelming. Create landing pages, waiting rooms, and registration forms, all branded with your company logo, presenter image, and even the planned agenda for the webinar. Shift the layout of the webinar room to fit your content needs and presentation style, whether you rely primarily on audio, video, or your slide deck. ClickMeeting also lets you customize key settings, such as auto-record and thank you emails.
Another great feature is ClickMeeting's WordPress plugin, which lets you embed webinar rooms directly into your website. If you don't use WordPress, ClickMeeting includes embed code for registration buttons, forms, and even the whole webinar room on your site.
Demio offers webinar creators a straightforward way to set up your webinar in seconds, with enough power to let you really leverage webinars for your marketing. Presenter controls are elegantly effective and simple to learn. But much of Demio's real power comes after the webinar is over.
Make the most of the work you put into this webinar by re-releasing your webinar as an on-demand replay. Or better yet, capitalizing on the scarcity effect and re-run your webinar with Demio's "Like Live Replay" feature, which gives second-run attendees the same experience as your original audience, right down to interactions like polls and document shares.
While many webinar apps only offer a blanket webinar follow-up email, Demio's automated rules feature lets you customize follow-up with contacts based on their interaction with your webinar. Did someone join late? Automatically send a replay link in a couple hours.
If you integrate Demio with your CRM through Zapier or through one of their native integrations, these contacts can be automatically tagged to help your team know how best to follow up.
GetResponse is part email-marketing software, part-marketing automation tool—and it's great at webinars too.
The webinar part of the software is fairly basic, letting you set up a standard registration form, edit basic settings, and launch your webinar. The presenter view is one of the simplest to use that I've come across, while still offering several handy features to engage your audience. In addition to adding and displaying your presentation, you can display a whiteboard, share your screen, search for and live-share YouTube videos, and run audience polls. Adjust the room layout to best fit your presentation style and the webinar itself.
As you'd expect, GetResponse webinars are based heavily around email marketing. You'll create your webinar by going through a setup wizard that includes building and sending emails to your chosen subscribers. You can even set up webinar invitations as a part of a regular autoresponder.
GetResponse makes it simple to market your webinar to your email lists via customizable templates. Control who gets your emails by selecting only certain lists, as well as adding exclusions, suppressions, and custom filters to any list you like. With GetReponse's "Perfect Timing" feature, you can even choose to delay the delivery of your webinar invite until each individual subscriber is most likely to open it (based on data from previous emails to those subscribers). If you're marketing internationally, the Time Travel feature is also handy, allowing subscribers to receive your email at your set scheduled time—in their time zone (instead of getting an 8am Eastern-time email at 1pm their time).
As one of the first widely-used webinar tools, GoToWebinar is familiar to almost anyone who has ever attended a webinar. While GoToWebinar may not have all the features available from other apps, it offers a dependable, familiar user experience to both audiences and presenters alike.
Running a webinar in GoToWebinar is every bit as easy as running a meeting in its sister app, GotoMeeting. This meeting-first mentality makes it very easy to add multiple presenters and share screen controls between the two, ideal for multi-presenter webinars who aren't in the same office.
Scheduling new webinars is a quick process, especially when you can copy past webinars as a template. Simply add your title and date information, set up any custom fields you want on your registration form, and you're ready to go! You cannot rebrand GoToWebinar confirmation and reminder emails, but you can add custom text. And GoToWebinar makes up for this lack of customization by automatically offering all confirmed registrants a calendar invitation, so they're less likely to forget your event.
When you do run your live event, you can add a team member to your webinar as an organizer if you want a second person recording your webinar or want someone to moderate chat and answer attendee questions. Recordings and reports are stored in the cloud and are easily available to download from your dashboard. Follow-up emails offering the replay recording to attendees, non-attendees, or both can be automatically sent by GoToWebinar, so you never have to worry about forgetting to send people your replay.
I've been the marketer scrambling between multiple software programs and settings pages right before a webinar, making sure all the reminders are sent and webinar settings are correct. Livestorm alleviates all that last-minute stress with a step-by-step approach to building your webinar that makes sure all details are accounted for before registration even goes live.
Starting with the basics—title and description—Livestorm walks you through all the setup for your webinar while your webinar is still in "draft" mode. Add contributors to your webinar, from guest speakers to moderators, to give varying webinar access to more than just the webinar host.
You can embed your webinar registration form on your own site, but for those who need more simplicity, Livestorm's registration landing page template lays out key webinar details alongside eye-catching "Register" and "Share" calls-to-action.
The automated emails Livestorm sends are worth special mention. These emails highlight key information about your webinar and prompt key actions, such as "Add to Calendar" and "Share This Webinar" with buttons, versus the simple link text that other webinar software uses for these prompts. You can customize the branding and messaging in these emails and also decide which emails you want Livestorm to send—such as one-hour reminders, start-time reminders, thank you emails to attendees, and follow-up emails to no-shows.
During the webinar, Livestorm also offers a small but important twist on standard audience interaction by allowing your attendees to view and upvote questions from fellow audience members. Not only does this encourage your attendees to interact with your content (and each other), it also gives you, the presenter, the ability to manage your limited Q&A time by focusing on questions that are important to your audience.
WebinarNinja is for companies who run a lot of webinars, whether paid or free, and offers marketers the most flexibility when it comes to pre-recording your webinars.
WebinarNinja offers four different webinar types: Live, the standard webinar type, Automated which allows you to use pre-recorded content to simulate a live experience on certain dates, Series, which gives you the capability to run an online summit-type webinar series, and Hybrid, which will let you run a pre-recorded presentation while running things live in chat, polls, and Q&A.
One of WebinarNinja's most unique features is the Offer widget, which lets you display an offer to webinar attendees directly within your webinar anytime. Extra features like one-click user registration and advanced notification and reminder settings serve to make WebinarNinja one of the most useful and versatile webinar software for marketers.
Once you've set up your webinar, use WebinarNinja's integration with tools like MailChimp, Infusionsoft, and Zapier to automate marketing both before and after your webinar.
For marketers who don't regularly produce webinars, but want to knock it out of the park when they do, there's Webinato. Webinato is your virtual classroom, with multiple features to instruct and engage your audience in meaningful ways during your webinar.
From the live whiteboard to the Cobrowser, which lets you generate a separate browser window in-room for your attendees (perhaps to share a offer page), Webinato gives you all the tools you need to illustrate and communicate your message.
Maybe you find that webinars work really well for you, but you don't have the human resources to run live webinars on the regular. Webinato allows you to run pre-recorded webinars on autopilot, while still triggering all the interactive elements (such as polls, Q&A, and file-sharing) and still scheduling them like live events—a win win!
Anxious about running an expensive online event by yourself? Don't worry—all of Webinato's one-time event plans include an in-room tech, who will be right there with you the entire event in case of any tech problems.
Zoom is best known as a video conferencing tool, but the same reliable, clear video that makes it ideal for video conferencing also makes it ideal for webinars, specifically those that are video-heavy or feature multiple panelists. Since Zoom is primarily video-focused, you can count on clear, reliable video broadcasting for your webinars.
Zoom allows you to feature up to 50 panelists, who can all be easily added from your invited attendees. Customize your presentation style to match your content with a mix of video, screen-sharing, and streaming video of your presenters. Zoom allows you to show two views side-by-side, so you can, for example, keep presenter video up while running a demonstration on a shared screen. Presenters can also view audience questions in a pop-up window, so you can run highly interactive, panel-style webinars with very little friction.
One of Zoom's more unique webinar features is the ability to automatically broadcast your webinar to Facebook Live or YouTube Live. Once you're inside your webinar interface, an option in the "more" menu will let you broadcast your webinar live on either Facebook or YouTube.
On Facebook, you can give your webinar a custom name, and choose whether you want to livestream it from your personal account, or from a page or group where you have admin privileges. Select your options and Zoom will take care of the rest, broadcasting your webinar on Facebook, with the content only delayed 20-25 seconds from your original webinar.
The feature works similarly on YouTube. Assuming your YouTube account is enabled for live-streaming, just name your video and choose your desired privacy setting, and you're set! Zoom will notify you that you're live in the left corner of your webinar screen, where you can toggle, view, or share your livestream on either Facebook or YouTube.
Most webinar software is optimized for hosting live presentations. The best webinar software also provide features to help you manage the lifecycle of your webinar, from customizable forms and emails to contact management to webinar performance analysis. But even the best webinar software is just that—software focused on the webinar experience.
Add Zapier to the mix and you can automate tasks between your webinar software and the software you use for everything else, such as copying contacts from your webinar software to your customer relationship manager (CRM) tool. Zapier lets you connect 750+ apps and create workflows between them—without any coding knowledge required.
If you want to monetize your webinars and your chosen webinar software doesn't have a payment options, why not create your own?
Maybe webinars are an important part of your sales funnel but you need more tools than a built-in webinar CRM can provide. No problem—automatically send all your webinar registrants to your CRM or marketing automation tool of choice.
Sign up for a free Zapier account, and choose your webinar software of choice and another app from our library of 750+ popular business apps to start building your own workflows.
At the end of the day, the success of your webinar is about creativity and how well you engage your audience before, during, and after the webinar. So as you're browsing these apps and choosing a tool for your webinar, ask yourself: What app will best help you and your company to engage your unique audience?


Geology (2018) 46 (10): 875-878.
Symmetric sand ripples formed by water waves are common features on modern coasts and in sedimentary rocks. The size and spacing of wave ripples generally scale with water depth and wave conditions, and are widely used to reconstruct coastal environments of the geologic past. Interpretations based on average ripple dimensions and assumed constant wave conditions are informative, but many rippled beds contain striking patterns involving defects—deviations from straight, evenly spaced ripple crests—that suggest more dynamic flow regimes. We report a set of laboratory experiments that reveal how these patterns form in rippled beds adjusting to a change in wave conditions. As the ripples in our experiments evolved toward a new spacing, they developed defects that are widely observed in modern environments and in the rock record. The dominant defect type depends on the sign and magnitude of the adjustment in ripple spacing and the number of wave periods since the change in wave conditions. A regime diagram summarizing these associations quantitatively links ripple defects to transient flow conditions. Our experiments reveal the origin of previously unexplained ripple patterns and add a new dimension to paleoenvironmental interpretations.


Messrs. N. H. Loomis, of Omaha, Neb., I. N. Watson, of Kansas City, Mo., and R. W. Blair, of Topeka, Kan., for plaintiff in error.
Mr. Edwin A. Krauthoff, of Kansas City, Mo., for defendant in error.
Xedes, a section hand on the Union Pacific Railroad, was injured, in Kansas, while in the performance of his duties. Laughlin, an attorney at law, was employed by him in Missouri to prosecute and settle his claim against the company; and Xedes agreed that Laughlin should receive as compensation one-half of whatever amount he [247 U.S. 204, 205] might obtain in settlement of the claim. The Revised Statutes of Missouri ( 1909), sections 964 and 965, authorizing such agreements, give to the attorney a lien on the cause of action and on the proceeds, if notice of the lien is duly given to the defendant or 'proposed defendant'; and, as construed by the Supreme Court of Missouri,1 they also provide that if, after such notice, the claim is settled in any manner without first procuring the written consent of such attorney, the defendant or 'proposed defendant' shall be liable to the attorney in an independent suit to an amount equal to that for which he held the lien.
Laughlin gave to the company this statutory notice. Later and without his consent, Xedes brought, through other counsel, in a state court, suit against the company which was removed to the District Court of the United States for the Western Division of the Western District of Missouri, and judgment was entered therein for $550. The company paid this amount to the clerk of court in satisfaction of the judgment; and it was paid by him to Xedes and his new counsel. When Laughlin learned these facts, he brought suit against the company in Missouri before a justice of the peace, for $ 275, and recovered a judgment therefor which was affirmed in the state circuit court and again by the Kansas City Court of Appeals. A rehearing applied for in June, 1917, was denied by that court, which also refused to transfer the case to the Supreme Court. The company, contending that the federal Constitution has been violated, brings the case here under section 237 of the Judicial Code as amended.
It does not appear here, as it did in Dickinson v. Stiles, 246 U.S. 631 , 38 Sup. Ct. 415, 62 L. Ed. -- (decided April 29, 1918), that the suit of the employe against the railroad was brought under the federal Employers' Liability Act (Act April 22, 1908, c. 149, 35 Stat. 65 [Comp. St. 1916, 8657-8665]); and no claim is made that the attorney's lien [247 U.S. 204, 206] statute of the state is inconsistent with that law or the constitutional provision concerning interstate commerce. The company's contention, as set forth in its assignment of error in this court, is that the decision below takes its property and denies to it equal protection of the law in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, because the decision imposes a liability not imposed by the judgment recovered by Xedes in the federal court; deprives it of the protection afforded by the Acts of Congress to those who pay to the clerks of the United States District Courts money in satisfaction of judgments entered therein;2 and gives to two attorneys liens for the same service. The defendant in error moves to dismiss on the ground that the case does not present a federal question reviewable under section 237 of the Judicial Code (Act March 3, 1911, c. 231, 36 Stat. 1156 ), as amended by the Act of September 6, 1916, c. 448, 2 (39 Stat. 726 [ Comp. St. 1916, 1214]), because there is not drawn in question the validity of a statute of or an authority exercised under any state on the ground of their being repugnant to the Constitution, treaties or laws of the United States; and that if such question is presented, the Kansas City Court of Appeals was not 'the highest court of a state in which a decision in the suit could' have been had, since the Supreme Court of Missouri has appellate jurisdiction in cases where 'the validity of a treaty or statute of or authority exercised under the United States is drawn in question,' and no application was made to nor any action taken by it.
The Missouri statute simply gives a cause of action against one who, with knowledge of the existence of a lien, deforces it. To grant such a remedy against the wrongdoer clearly does not deprive him of any right guaranteed by the federal Constitution, even if the [247 U.S. 204, 207] instrument by means of which the wrong is accomplished happens to be the judgment of a federal court. No substantial federal question is involved. We have no occasion, therefore, to consider whether the validity of the Missouri statute was drawn in question (Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Co. v. Gilbert, 245 U.S. 162 , 38 Sup. Ct. 58, 62 L. Ed. --); nor whether 'a decision in the suit' might not have been had in the Supreme Court of Missouri (Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway Company v. Elliott, 184 U.S. 530 , 22 Sup. Ct. 446).

Air Canada fined for violating couple's linguistic rights
World Saturday 31/August/2019 12:36 PM
Toronto: Air Canada has been ordered to pay a French-speaking couple 21,000 Canadian dollars ($15,700; £12,900) and write them a letter of apology for violating their linguistic rights.
The couple complained that some signs on a domestic flight they took were only in English, while others gave the French version less prominence.
A judge ruled that the airline had breached Canada's bilingualism laws.
Air Canada reportedly told the court it would work to replace the signs.
Ontario couple Michel and Lynda Thibodeau filed 22 complaints against the airline in 2016.
Among them, they argued that the word "lift" was engraved on the buckles of their seatbelts in English but not in French, while French translations of words such as "exit" were in smaller characters.
They also said the English-language boarding announcement for their Montreal-bound flight was more thorough than the French version.
"Air Canada systematically violates the linguistic rights of Francophones," the couple argued, according to the written judgment for the case.
In the ruling, the Ottawa court judge agreed that the airline had "not upheld its linguistic obligations".
Air Canada is subject to the country's Official Languages Act, which seeks to ensure that English and French are given equal status.
The airline had argued that the couple was interpreting the act too strictly, according to the court documents.
In an interview with Canadian broadcaster CBC, Thibodeau said he was satisfied with the judgement but hoped to see signs on Air Canada flights improve in the future.
"Signage must be of equal quality," he said. "My expectation is that within a couple of months, we will be able to fly on any Air Canada plane, and finally signage will be in both official languages."
It is not the first time the couple have accused the airline of violating their linguistic rights. In 2014, the Supreme Court ruled that they could not sue Air Canada over a mistaken drink order on an international flight and would have to settle for an apology, the Toronto Sun reported.

To the Courts!
Posted on February 10, 2022 by David
It started in 2018 after the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) handed the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) and the third parties an unprecedented 30 to zero drubbing in the general election. Many still believe a constitutional crisis was averted when Bishop Joe Atherley crossed the floor and a Leader of the Opposition (LoO) was recognized to ensure the business of parliament as outlined in the Constitution was carried out.
Who would have thunk it?
Prime Minister Mottley called a snap general election 18 months early and repeated a 30 to love win on 19 January 2022. On this occasion, no sitting MP seems willing to follow in the Bishop's footsteps. The President of the Republic is unwilling to exercise discretion to appoint 2 Opposition Senators. Prime Minister Mottley in her infinite wisdom magnanimously has started the process to amend the Barbados Constitution to allow for the appointment of the 2 Opposition Senators from the losing political party that garnered the most votes. If that party refuses the opportunity to appoint slides to the next losing party.
The news former Attorney General Adriel Brathwaite filed a motion with the Court to rule on the legitimacy of the Senate should not surprise political pundits if one listened to the position of interim President of the DLP Steve Blackett. With the amendment to the Constitution proceeding in the parliament the DLP would eventually be forced into position of accepting the offer to appoint 2 Opposition Senators which would contradict the publicly stated position of the DLP represented by interim President Steve Blackett.
A couple interesting sidebar observations. The former AG Brathwaite is being represented by attorneys-at-law Garth Patterson and Michelle Russell. Last week Brasstacks talk show host Glyne Murray observed the lawyers keeping the most 'noise' in the Barbados space on the the constitutionality of parliament are of Jamaican lineage. In fairness to Russell and Patterson they have been residing in Barbados for a long time, however, the blogmaster understands Murray's point given the large cohort of Barbadians lawyers educated with our tax dollars.
One of the reasons forwarded why Mottley called an early general election was to quell an uprising by a faction in the BLP. Is it reasonable to opine if a few BLP MPs are dissatisfied with Mottley's leadership a golden opportunity now presents itself for the malcontents to express themselves by crossing the floor or sounding their voices?
Political Games
The matter has gone the route of the Court and whatever the decision at first instance is will likely progress to the CCJ. What we have is a people suffering from economic fatigue, COVID-19 fatigue and you may add to the maladies, post election fatigue. Is this another opportunities to blame lawyers?
Former Brathwaite in his released stated in part that he felt "compelled to seek the intervention of the Courts to resolve this controversy, one that centres around issues of vital national importance, and goes to the root of our democracy." The blogmaster notes the former AG has advised that the matter is being brought in his capacity as a private citizen. How convenient!
Why did this extract from Brathwaite's statement pique the interest of the blogmaster? Under Brathwaite's tenure as AG with responsibility for the judiciary, he left it in a worse condition than he found it. The political games that lawyer politicians play mean an already congested court system has to adjudicate a matter created by lawyers.

PM offered the DLP the opportunity to directly select 2 representatives to fill vacant seats which they did not accept and stated they will wait to determine if it is "legal"
(Unquote).
And that where the trouble all started, this time around!
If Barbados is to be seen as holding on to its cherished tradition of being a maturing parliamentary democracy based on its inherited Westminster style of government instead of a budding banana republic as observed in some South American or Continental Africa jurisdictions, then the Constitution must be seen as the Supreme guiding light and to be treated as a plaything subject to the whims and fancies of any political leader at the wheel of governance.
Your Supreme leader cannot select an Opposition to fight against Her government as if she is selecting some sparring partner to prepare for some heavyweight boxing match.
The whole fiasco of convening a Parliament was turned into a genuine pappy-show when the names of the holders of the Constitution-enshrined posts of president and deputy president were announced to the public even before the Head of State selected the Independent choices for a Senate which itself had not even held its first sitting to perform the 'duties' of electing officers to the Upper Chamber.
So what will it be for Bim, in your estimation?
To remain a republic based on parliamentary democracy or to be turned into a budding banana republic controlled by despots?

Naff, naff posts later and still no response to the 15-0 and 60-0 wash outs in other Caribbean islands with the same "There shall be a leader of the opposition". The verbosed one, who's always looking for fight with me, even accused me of xenophobia. De cat got pups!🤣

Typical! More evidence of misogyny and from that pesky Old Testament again!
When a man makes his point and defends it forcefully. he is debating passionately.
When a woman makes her point and defends it forcefully, she is quarelling.
So…. all the usual man insults. Got any more? Make it original this time! That act is getting stale.
By the way, it surely is better to live in a desert than to bring that sexist shit in my house!
Old fart!
Why would I have to dig in the archives to prove Cuhdear Bajan a liar? I have a memory like an archive.
I seem to recall her saying that Bush Tea was dead some time ago.
My response was much the same. That David knows who Bush Tea is and he would have told us.
Why lie when David is going to see it and set her straight?
I have not yet come up with an answer.
But I will ask her now.
Cuhdear Bajan,
Why did you say that Pachamama was dead?

typical BU clowns, one lie does not make you a liar even if ya repeat it TWICE or 12 times, that's why the politicians TIEF ALL THEIR MONEY by the billions of dollars, KEEP A LOT OF IT FOR THEMSELVES and give the rest to every criminal in the minority groups they could find who would help them tief it..,…lol
TLSN…did you notice i stopped wasting time and energy on BU…will pass throughout the day, but wasting precious time and energy going around in circles with primary school nonsense.., not my thing….too much to do..and IF they really knew what is REALLY GOING ON…they would stop wasting time too, but why spoil their fun…
Cuddear…glad to see ya upgraded, they may outlast you…or not..
Artax, the actual archive researcher is not here and so I believe that the remark was dropped at me,
Here's the thing – I pointed out that David would know, tried to figure out how she came to that conclusion and did not return to the scene until this morning, when I saw David's response.
But before I could even return, the Loud Talker was saying Nothing AGAIN expecting me to call a woman a liar without the evidence first of all, that she was wrong and secondly, that she was DELIBERATELY wrong.
This constant attempt to catch me out instead of calling out his/her favourite blogger is so childish that it is riduculous.
The liar has told lies on ME. Therefore I KNOW that she is a liar. I can say it without apology and I HAVE THAT RIGHT!
BUT….what makes this really funny is that searching the archives and producing PROOF of the HABIT of lying is somehow deemed to be a more egregious act than the lying itself!
DID THE ARCHIVE PROVE HER A LIAR? THAT SHOULD BE THE CONCERN.
Human beings – a very interesting study indeed!
And certainly BU personalities would make a wonderful thesis for such an academic pursuit!
Should do a thesis on yaself…haven't seen you try to TIEF MY CONTENT LATELY..
And now….back to the topic! I will try David's patience with this WURA nonsensec no more.
Those who are smart and honest know what it is. Those who are stupid or dishonest will NEVER KNOW or admit that they know. So what's the point????
TLSN…great topic for a thesis…They Can See Others, But Can't See Themselves….
just take a good look at the degradation and mental psychosis and we can see why, they have no clue they are topics in other places..while am NOT..
Now see that, TLSN! THAT is a liar! Deliberate and repeated falsehood, without providing the evidence of the theft! Now… if this was a courtroom I would win my defamation lawsuit.
Mental psychosis and degradation????
Murdaaaaah!

I had a run in with Hal, Ha, Ha, i named him that, years ago, after he was boasting on BU he could do this and that, which we found out later was normal for him, that turned into a disaster…and Hal, LIED TO THE END, that he did not do what he did… he went so far as attempting to sabotage my case to COVER HIS LIES, like if i was a novice and NOT QUITE CAPABLE OF WINNING,…
he did not dig in the archives for shit with the help of enablers, but it failed just like this one, nonetheless…..this is Hal 2.0
he learned the hard way that i don't play those types of games….

Since you made a reference to 'Artax' in your comment, I decided to respond.
As I keep 'saying,' anyone familiar with even basic database programming, could easily retrieve information that was previously posted to BU or any other website. And, the process does not require someone having to search through several blogs and comments over an extended period of time to do so.
What amazes me is, there are certain contributors who, when it suits their particular purpose, often REFER to BU's archives as CREDIBLE source from which information to SUBSTANTIATE any comment they made on a particular issue, can be retrieved.
Unfortunately, 'on the other hand,' using the same archives suddenly becomes an 'ATROCIOUS CRIME,' when information is retrieved there from that CLEARLY INDICATED those same individuals ACTUALLY made comments they SUBSEQUENTLY DENIED making.
Such an undertaking is derogatorily described as 'wasting time digging up in the archives.'

Re "ignorance is bliss"…
Ignorance of the reality of lies and deceptions (=most mainstream news and establishment decrees) is bliss because exposing yourself to that is self-propagandization.
Ignorance of truths (especially if they're upsetting) is not, or only temporarily or rarely, bliss because it is ultimately self-defeating.
The FALSE mantra of "ignorance is bliss", promoted in the latter sense, is a product of a fake sick culture that has indoctrinated its "dumbed down" (therefore TRULY ignorant, therefore easy to control) people with many such manipulative slogans. You can find the proof that ignorance is never bliss (only superficial fake bliss), and how you get to buy into this lie (and other self-defeating lies), in the article "The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room –The Holocaustal Covid-19 Coronavirus Madness: A Sociological Perspective & Historical Assessment Of The Covid "Phenomenon"" …. https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html

On September 1985, Brig. Gen. (Res.) Avner Naveh sat in then IAF Commander, Maj. Gen. (Res.) Amos Lapidot's office and asked him to build a long range strike model with GBU-15 munitions for the squadron he then commanded. "I wanted it to be checked", he said. He never expected that ten days after the meeting, he will fly in such a formation but not in training - as a part of an operational strike sortie.
On September 25, 1985 three terrorists from the PLO's "Force 17" gained control of an Israeli yacht that was anchored in the Larnaca port in Cyprus and murdered three Israelis on board.
"At the time, three years after the "First Lebanon" War, the terror attacks against Israel intensified and the attack in Larnaca was the straw that broke the camel's back", recalls Col. (Res.) Micky (Michael) Lev, then "Knights of the Twin Tail" F-15 Squadron Commander. Operation "Wooden Leg" began.
"Tunis was not the first target, but a PLO training camp in Aden, Yemen but 24 hours after the command was given, it was decided to change the target. It was a strategic decision - Tunis is a more attractive target, so an attack there meant a stronger message", shares Col. (Res) Lev.
"At first we planned on attacking a different target which we were not sure was manned, but it changed to Tunis very quickly", adds Brig. Gen. (Res) Avner Naveh, who was the "Edge of the Spear" F-15 Squadron Commander.
"There was a feeling that we were being sent on a mission, in which the message was bigger than the attack itself", describes Brig. Gen (Res.) Naveh. "Its purpose was to show that the state of Israel can reach any point on earth and cause great damage to anyone acting against us".
The mission was assigned to two F-15 squadrons from the "Tel-Nof" Airbase.
It was further decided that 10 fighters-strikers would take off: six from the "Edge of the Spear" Squadron and four from the "Knights of the Twin Tail" Squadron, while only eight would take part in the strike and the remaining two would be back up. From the moment the targets destination was decided, strenuous work had begun: the Intelligence Directorate looked for the targets, Operations Division planned the attack and the squadrons began training.
"The attack in Tunis had a certain advantage because the flight was over the Mediterranean Sea, which flight paths are friendlier, which lowered the danger level when it comes to the mission", says Col (Res.) Lev.
It was supposed to be the IAF's farthest strike. "The range may not be threatened by SAM batteries or hostile countries, but there are still many situations that could occur along the way", says Brig. Gen. (Res.) Naveh.
"The operation was like an orchestra which has to play together: our aircraft, the refueling, the ATC and communications, everything had to work in complete synchronization like a huge concert".
The final brief was on October 1, 1985 when the pilots and WSO's met in the squadron while the technical team finished arming each jet with GBU-15 guided bombs and then they boarded the grey jets, carrying grape juice and dried fruit to help pass the long hours of flight.
They took off slowly because of their heavy weight and began flying towards the Hammam al-Shatt shore where the "Force 17" HQ was positioned.
"We felt like we were taking off for a mission with consequences", says Brig. Gen. (Res) Naveh and Col. (Res) Lev confirms: "The thing we avoided the most was hurting un-involved civilians. The targets we received were military targets".
On the way to their target, the aircrews identified a line of clouds which blocked their line of sight. "If we wouldn't have seen the targets we would have returned home", explains Brig. Gen. (Res) Naveh. "This was pre-autonomic precise weapons so we had to see the target".
As the jets approached the targets, the clouds dissipated. "The flight was relatively quiet, we spoke English until we reached the refueling aircraft", recollects Col. (Res) Lev. "There is no doubt that we were tense but not as a result of fear, but by the thoughts about the mission because there were many actions to carry out".
Then the Tunisian shore came into sight and the target was visible. The bombs dropped and on the radio, "Alpha" was heard time and time again. The pilots began climbing while checking that all the bombs were released and identifying one another for protection.
"The tense moment was when we dropped the munitions, during the attack itself. The targets were easy and clear and no crew had trouble identifying its target and yet, after it was all over, there was a great relief", Brig. Gen. (Res) Naveh recalls the moment he pressed the button. The mission was complete, but 1,280 miles still separated the crews and Israel.
"Now we have at least three hours until we get home. You understand you executed a strike of great importance, but now you have to go back and land safely", Says Col. (Res) Lev.
"The real excitement began when we landed", shares Brig. Gen. (Res) Naveh. "Before we landed, foreign Media Networks had already announced the attack and everyone who was a part of the preparation, awaited us at base. We executed the mission, but many people took part in it: the planning department, the operational teams and the technical division. The combat division in the IAF is small and behind it there is a whole armada that without it, operations would be impossible".
Operation "Wooden Leg" was precedential when considering its range and its outcome. "The mission was executed properly. Dozens of terrorists were killed and many were injured, it wasn't another routine attack. We used a complex weapon, all of the tests were run before the attack and the rest was out of our hands. The malfunctions were technical: one bomb which entered spin and another wasn't launched", asserts Brig. Gen. (Res) Naveh.
Even today, when discussing abilities, it is known that the IAF carried out an attack at such a long range 30 years ago", concluded Col. (Res) Lev.

In-home COVID testing likely obscuring full scale of outbreak in South Dakota
Jonathan Ellis | Sioux Falls Argus Leader
CDC shortens COVID-19 isolation and quarantine guidelines
CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said the changes were made based on "two years of science" about the virus.
Staff video, USA TODAY
When the coronavirus pandemic hit the United States in the winter and spring of 2020, many health officials warned that cases were being drastically undercounted because of a lack of testing capacity.
Now, nearly two years in, they might be undercounted because there's so much testing capacity.
With the availability of in-home testing kits, people can learn in minutes whether they have a positive test. From there, if they test positive, they can follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on quarantine times.
And no one might ever know about it.
The South Dakota Department of Health reported 2,254 new infections on Wednesday. But those did not include people who had tested positive with in-home kits.
More: Here's where to find COVID-19 rapid, at-home or other tests in time for New Year's Eve
Department spokesman Daniel Bucheli said in an email the state's daily report of positive cases originates from those tests done in medical settings and reported from a laboratory. The tally also includes positive results from the department's free, in-home kit supplied by Vault, in which a kit is mailed and the testing sample is mailed back and verified by a lab.
The state is continuing to urge people to get tested when they get symptoms or when they've been exposed as a close contact.
"If you test positive at home using a commercially available over-the-counter test, please notify your medical provider, continue to monitor symptoms closely, and seek medical attention if symptoms worsen," Bucheli said.
It's unclear how many cases might be going unreported. Some people, exhibiting common cold-like symptoms, might not test at all. Others might test positive on an in-home test and seek confirmation through the state's testing program, in which case a subsequent positive result would be reported in the state data. But many others are likely choosing to rely on an in-home test and then riding out the sickness.
It's a significant reason why reported cases are no longer as significant as they were before. Hospitalizations and deaths have always been the key metrics, but now with the ubiquity of in-home tests, hospitalizations and deaths are better metrics for evaluating the severity of an outbreak.
In some hard-hit parts of the country, demand for in-home testing kits has outstripped supply. So far, kits have remained available in Sioux Falls. But South Dakota was also the last state in the nation to report a verified case of the omicron variant.
More: Omicron variant detected in South Dakota, the last U.S. state to confirm a case
That variant is responsible for record-high cases in states across the country. South Dakota is headed there.
Prior to Wednesday, the state's one-day record of new cases was 2,020, a mark hit on Nov. 12, 2020. Wednesday's 2,254 cases set a new one-day record, but it also likely contained backlogs in testing from the holidays.
The next few days will provide clearer insight on where COVID-19 is heading in the state as the holiday backlog is cleared. Already, the state is averaging nearly 800 new infections over the past week, the highest since Dec. 9, 2020, a time when new COVID-19 cases were in freefall after peaking in mid-November.
In less than a week, active infections increased by more than 4,000, ending Wednesday at 12,578. At that rate, the state will exceed the record of 19,360 active infections from Nov. 15, 2020 in a few days.
But those are only the official numbers. Behind them could be a sea of unreported positive tests, meaning this COVID-19 outbreak is larger than meets the eye.

Data: the oil of the digital age
Adam Steventon, director of data analytics at the Health Foundation, reviews the government's digital and data vision for the NHS.
Digital technologies could transform healthcare over the next decade. Already this year we have seen the rapid rise of health and care delivered by mobile phone using videoconferences and artificial intelligence. The highest profile example, GP at Hand, now has over 30,000 patients signed up and has ambitions for fast expansion.
2019 will bring more sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms that gather and interpret information from patients on their signs and symptoms. How these work alongside clinicians is unclear, but one algorithm has already been found to be better at detecting eye disease from scans than specialist doctors.
The secretary of state for health and social care is a clear supporter of these approaches, as well as other forms of technology in the NHS, and recently published his vision for more use of data and digital. While it is encouraging to see such an ambitious vision, there are some big questions that need to be addressed if the NHS and its patients are going to reap the benefits.
What is the aim of using technology?
Improving access to technology is only a force for good if it helps the NHS tackle the most pressing problems. Unfortunately, advocates sometimes fall into the trap of pushing for 'technology for its own sake,' and this is unhelpful because it does not focus minds and resources in the right places.
The Health Foundation's analysis has shown that one of the biggest challenges facing the NHS is the rapid rise in the number of people requiring care for multiple health conditions. Over half of NHS spending is for people with not just one, but at least two long-term conditions. One-in-three patients admitted to hospital as an emergency now have five or more health conditions, up from one-in-ten a decade ago.
To get the most benefit for patients and the NHS, we should spend time thinking about where the greatest challenges lie and how technology can be employed to help overcome these.
What is the nature of evaluation?
There has been lively debate this year on evaluation with the secretary of state recognising the need for evidence about new technologies, saying that "a commissioner, clinician or person using health and care services can rapidly access evidence on the impact of the digital tools they are being offered." This seems to be a shift from earlier in the year and is welcome, though greater consensus is still needed on the underlying question: what kind of evidence is needed? And why?
To advocates of technology, evaluation often seems like a rate limiting step, with wider implementation hinging on achieving a positive outcome. Yet, evaluation can also be an enabler, helping technology companies, the NHS and patients understand impacts in close to real time so that approaches to delivering care can be adapted as a response. The latter approach is needed for technology.
In an emerging field, not everything is going to work well first time. Users of evaluation evidence therefore need to recognise that some iteration will be needed. Yet, there does need to be some robust tests to ensure that the approaches are safe, make good use of taxpayer money, and do not worsen health inequalities.
When it comes to using technology to improve access to services, one risk is driving up demand for healthcare amongst the worried well, potentially taking away precious healthcare resources from those who need it most. The impacts could be serious, especially since the NHS is already grappling with more than a 40% increase in emergency admissions over the last decade. History is full of examples where new services have been introduced with the aim to prevent demand for more expensive forms of care downstream, and the opposite has been true.
The need for a reciprocal agreement on data with technology companies
The approach that the NHS takes to data sharing will have a profound impact on the future of healthcare in the UK.
Matt Hancock is clear that he wants the NHS to share data with technology companies, saying that in his ideal world "a developer, company or researcher who has hit a barrier around access to data or users can get rapid, responsive help to keep their project moving." What is missing is reciprocity, since there is no corresponding statement about how companies should be expected to share data with the NHS in return.
Data sharing is needed so that the NHS and its evaluators and regulators can assess the quality and safety of the services that are being provided. It will also help to achieve value for money for taxpayers. In the digital age, data is the new oil. If the NHS gives its valuable data away to private companies, the NHS has the right to demand something in return.
Any use of data requires a balance to be struck between the need for privacy and the public good, meaning that it is vital that the public trusts how data are used. The public is unlikely to accept their health data being used by companies when there is not full transparency about it. Yet public trust and support can aid the development of new technology if the public is involved up-front.
The need to boost analytical capability
One aspect of the vision is encouraging: there is a clear recognition of the need to ensure that those working in the NHS are trained and supported to use data and technology in their work and have the time to learn the skills they need.
In the drive towards better IT, it is often forgotten that the NHS needs people who can make the best use of the huge amounts of data being generated, producing insights to help managers and clinicians tackle the problems they face, such as tracking the quality of care, or aligning capacity more closely with demand.
The NHS has not historically invested in its analytical workforce, but the Health Foundation has been offering funding and support to analysts in the NHS and local authorities, and we have found it pays dividends in improved care. The NHS should do more of the same. Analysts have been stuck in the basement for too long – they have a vital role to play in supporting an evidence-based approach to how services are run. As well as this, clinicians and managers need to be supported to understand how data can help them practically in their work.
The NHS is at a significant moment when it comes to technology, and there is real potential to improve care, but only if the NHS proceeds in the right way. It will be critical to be clear about the aims, use evidence and data well, and address analytical capability in the NHS.

Q: How do I write x86 Debug registers from user space on OSX? I'd like to play around with the debug MSRs defined in the x86 spec (DR0-7) from my OSX user-space program. Unfortunately, these require CPL == 0 (aka ring 0). I've thumbed through the OSX syscalls and with the exception of kernel_debug nothing really jumps out as a way to access these.
It may be the case that they are only available via some higher level interface like kernel_debug, but it's unclear to me if that's the case or if I just haven't found the magic invocation to get to them.
My end goal is accessing the functionality of these registers, not the registers themselves. Does anyone have insight on how to do things like set hardware breakpoints?

A: It turns out thread_get_state/thread_set_state is the answer.
#include <mach/mach_types.h>

thread_t target = get_target_thread();
struct x86_debug_state dr;
mach_msg_type_number_t dr_count = x86_DEBUG_STATE_COUNT;

kern_return_t rc = thread_get_state(target, x86_DEBUG_STATE, &dr, &dr_count);
printf("DR0: 0x%08x\n", dr.uds.ds32.__dr0);
printf("DR1: 0x%08x\n", dr.uds.ds32.__dr1);
printf("DR2: 0x%08x\n", dr.uds.ds32.__dr2);
printf("DR3: 0x%08x\n", dr.uds.ds32.__dr3);
printf("DR4: 0x%08x\n", dr.uds.ds32.__dr4);
printf("DR5: 0x%08x\n", dr.uds.ds32.__dr5);
printf("DR6: 0x%08x\n", dr.uds.ds32.__dr6);
printf("DR7: 0x%08x\n", dr.uds.ds32.__dr7);

A: That's pretty much the point of ring 0 instructions. They are not accessible from userspace.

Q: animate opacity png fix Is ther a fix for the animate opacity in jQuery I've tried supersleight and many others but I get no results. The image loads fine as a png it's just when it is animated i get problems. I have also tried EpngFix  iepngfix and DD_belatedPNG but they don't work. Im using ie8 on windows 7

A: in ie8 and ie6 you can use
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src="test.png")
  alpha(opacity=50);
background: none;

jquery animate opacity will work perfectly because it simply changes filter: alpha
for ie7 see
ie7 png opacity. is it possible


Wine body has to do with the perceived weight, density, or heft that the wine has in your mouth...which is where the term 'mouthfeel' comes into play!
Some wines are voluptious in their volume and body, some are thin and dainty.
To illustrate this tactile difference, many people like to use the analagy of comparing skim milk (light-bodied) to 2% or whole milk (medium-bodied) to heavy cream (full-bodied).
So when you're tasting a wine, try to imagine under which 'milk category' the wine would best fit within, unless imagining whole milk while drinking a Sangiovese makes you nauseaus, then wait until after you're done drinking!
As a general rule of thumb - young wines are lighter bodied, aged wines are thicker-bodied.
Another simple rule follows suit - white wines are usually lighter boided, red wines are usually thicker bodied.
Combine the age + type of wine to easily gauge where along the spectrum of wine viscocity your wine sits.
Now body is a fairly abstract word when it comes to wine - but it's the closest we can get to describing that tacticle sensation.
You should be able to feel the weight of the wine on your tongue, and in the back of your throat when swallowing.
All wine has some degree of viscosity, aka fluidity, which is responsible for the 'legs' that appear on the sides of wine glasses after giving a wine a good swirl.
While these 'legs' don't necessarily dictate a wine's quality - they do tell us that there's a considerable amount of alcohol in the wine.
Speaking of quality - don't believe that 'thick-bodied' wines are automatically keepers, or that 'thin-bodied' wines deserve to be chucked.
Thin wines can still offer up plenty of flavor - depending on grape variety.
There are plenty of good wines in BOTH categories - and don't forget that part of the beauty of the wine world is having a myriad of wine choices available for you, when you need it, as you need it.

"81 Minutes: After the Bridge Collapsed"
Our first project with this all-volunteer museum was to launch the StEPs program designed by the American Association for State and Local History. This framework of museum best practices gave the museum the confidence to undertake its first new exhibit in over a decade on the I-35W bridge collapse. We also developed a new Interpretive Plan for this museum, which helped to re-focus the board's attention on the importance of updating their exhibits and better serving their existing audience.
As part of our research for the exhibit, we had the honor of being the first historians to interview 16 different firefighters who were involved that day. These oral histories became the foundation of our exhibit. The exhibit "81 Minutes: After the Bridge Collapsed" was installed in commemoration of the fifth anniversary of the collapse, and brought together the stories of rescuers, the civilians who collaborated with
them, and those stranded who needed help. The exhibit had a profound impact on many visitors – firefighters who had not talked about their experience, victims who were grateful to see the larger story of collapse, and citizens throughout the metro area who were affected by the collapse. In September 2013, the exhibit was acknowledged with an Award of Merit by the American Association for State and
Local History.

Scandal: Why ABC decided to end the series
While Scandal has already been renewed for a seventh season, executive producer Shonda Rhimes has previously indicated plans to keep the political fixer drama as a contained story, which is exactly why now is the right time for the show to end.
"To be honest, I had conversations with Shonda [Rhimes] where she has had, for a while, a sense of how she wanted the story to end," ABC chief Channing Dungey told reporters on Tuesday morning. "We sat and we talked and she said, 'Look, I really feel like season 7 is where I want to wrap up this story because I always prefer to end a show where you're feeling on top as opposed to letting things fizzle out.' I do think that audiences, especially fans and Gladiators, who are as loyal to Scandal as they've been, are going to want the story to end in the way that Shonda intended to. That was a decision she felt really good about and we support wholeheartedly."
Dungey explained they're still deciding on an episode count for the final season. The ABC boss also stayed coy on whether they've mulled a Scandal spinoff, or even another Grey's Anatomy one after Private Practice, noting that Shonda Rhimes always keeps her plans close to the vest.
Rhimes later released a statement: "Deciding how to end a show is easy. Deciding when to finish is quite simple when the end date is years away. But actually going through with it? Actually standing up to say: 'This is it?' Not so much. So, next year we are going all out. Leaving nothing on the table. Creating this world in celebration. We are going to handle the end the way we like to handle the important things in our Scandal family: all together, white hats on, gladiators running full speed over a cliff."
ABC Studios President Patrick Moran added: "ABC Studios is so proud of Scandal and the Shondaland TGIT franchise, which have been so important to our studio's success. It's hard to imagine Thursday nights without Olivia Pope and company and the roller-coaster ride of the last six seasons."
In a follow-up statement, Dungey noted: "Shonda has decided the series needs to come to a close, and while this is definitely a bittersweet moment for all of us gladiators, I have no doubt what she has in store for the final season will be as powerful as what's come before, and we will be sure to honor that every step of the way."
The series about D.C. political fixer Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington), which has become a staple of ABC's TGIT lineup, launched in April 2012, with Washington becoming the first African American lead on a drama series in more than 30 years. Scandal went on to become a social media phenomenon.
In its sixth season, Scandal has been averaging 7.9 million total viewers and a 2.3 in the 18-49 demographic, making it the 11th highest rated scripted broadcast series this season.
The news comes in the wake of ABC ordering a new Shondaland legal drama, For the People, while sophomore series The Catch was recently canceled. Grey's Anatomy and How to Get Away With Murder were previously renewed, while Romeo & Juliet sequel Still Star-Crossed will finally debut Monday, May 29 at 10 p.m. ET. In short, Scandal may be ending, but Shondaland is very much alive.
In other Scandal news, George Newbern — who plays former B613 hitman Charlie — has been officially promoted to series regular for the final season.

In Review: Big Finish Classics: Dracula's Guests
Sitting in his castle like a spider in its web, Count Dracula is setting his plans in motion.
by Raissa Devereux February 10, 2020
Synopsis: Sitting in his castle like a spider in its web, Count Dracula is setting his plans in motion. Soon he will travel to England, there to cut a bloody swathe through polite society and pit himself against a dedicated crew of vampire-slayers. Yet before then, there is much to be done. A certain artist must be brought to him and a certain portrait painted. An old tale must be told, drawn from the darkest recesses of Transylvanian history. Meanwhile, in faraway London, an honest police detective must be corrupted and set to work in the service of the Count. The vampire king is making preparations, and his survival will be assured – no matter the cost.
Review: Jonathan Barnes, who adapted Bram Stoker's Dracula for Big Finish, crafted a prequel — Dracula's Guests. In three interwoven stories, Barnes not only sets the stage for the classic original tale, but he lays the groundwork for a sequel as well. That sequel — Dracula's War — will be available in September of this year.
In order to create a prequel to Stoker's legendary work, Barnes used that novel as a springboard. More precisely, he used a chapter Stoker's editor had him remove, as the book was running long. After his death, Stoker's widow added it to a posthumous anthology — Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories.
Barnes builds an original character to replace the nameless narrator of "Dracula's Guest." Jeremiah Hart is an artist, commissioned by Dracula to paint an unusual portrait. Hart is the first of three guests. Unbeknownst to him, Hart encounters the Count's second guest in a deserted village.
Dracula unfolds the history of his second guest to Hart, as the portrait progresses. This second story is my favorite of the three, as it touches on Dracula's historical roots. The medieval geopolitics are appropriately medieval. Barnes pulls no punches, letting the story play out as it inexorably must.
The third story is that of Renfield. He's driven mad, as he's affected by the events within the other two strands of the narrative.
David Bamber does a great job as Jeremiah Hart. He commits to playing the multiple layers of Hart's personality, as the painter goes on a much more emotionally complex journey than Jonathan Harker.
Ian Hallard reprises the role of Renfield. He plays the frazzled caregiver, the competent Victorian copper, and a cog in one immortal being's plans with equal skill.
That said, Mark Gatiss remains the star. Other actors have played Dracula before him, and many will follow him in the role. However, Gatiss plays this generation's definitive version of the character as Bram Stoker intended him.
Is it September, yet? I can't wait to hear the exciting conclusion — Dracula's War.
