It's spreading. It's contagious. It's color!
In the town of Pleasantville, nothing changes. The temperature is always the same, the weather is always nice, and no one has ever seen rain. Sex is an unknown word, passion is obsolete, and the most intimacy anyone sees is a touch to the hand. There are no words in books, the high school basketball team never misses a shot, and there is nothing beyond the town. In Pleasantville,... Full synopsis »
You may look at shows like "Leave it to Beaver" or "The Partridge Family" and note how incredibly artificial they look. You may point out the sheer "perfectness" of it all and laugh at how pathetic it all seems. Pleasantville does just this, but on the big screen. It makes fun of about every aspect you can think of, joined by a strong cast and rich integration of black and white and color. Full movie review »

The Perfect Other: A Memoir of My Sister (Hardcover)
By Kyleigh Leddy
"Shines a light on the stigma surrounding mental health and schizophrenia. This deeply personal memoir will give readers greater empathy and understanding in supporting those who are oftentimes misunderstood." —Sheryl Sandberg
As a child, all Kait Leddy had ever wanted was a little sister. When Kyleigh was born, she and Kait were inseparable; Kait would protect her, include her, cuddle, and comfort her. To Kyleigh, her big sister was her whole world.
But as Kait entered adolescence, her personality changed. She began lashing out emotionally and physically and sometimes lost touch with reality, behavior that worsened after a traumatic head injury. The family struggled to keep this terrifying, often violent, side of Kait private—at school and in her social life, she was still the gorgeous, effervescent life of the party. Powerless to help, Kyleigh watched in horror as her perfect sibling's world began to collapse and Kait was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Then, in January 2014, twenty-two-year-old Kait disappeared. Though her body was never found, security footage showed her walking to the peak of Philadelphia's Benjamin Franklin Bridge, where it is presumed that she jumped. In this extraordinary memoir— a story of hope, grief, mental illness, and enduring love—a grieving Kyleigh reflects on her sister and their life together, honoring their bond and searching for answers and a way to find meaning in this devastating loss.
Kyleigh Leddy received her bachelor's degree from Boston College and her MSW from Columbia University in advanced clinical practice and public policy. In 2019, she won the New York Times "Modern Love" college essay contest for a piece she wrote about grieving her sister, Kait. Her work has appeared in various publications, including the New York Times, Parents, and The Cut. She is based in New York City, and The Perfect Other is her first book.

Nitric Oxide in Septic Shock: Directions for Future Therapy?
W M Hon, H E Khoo, S Moochhala
Septic shock is a major cause of death among patients in intensive care units. It has a mortality rate of 20% to 80%. The clinical syndrome of septic shock is characterised by hypotension, hyporesponsiveness to vasoconstrictors and volume depletion which will then lead to multiorgan dysfunction and death. Except for surgical and supportive care, no specific therapy is known. Recently interest has been focused on the role of nitric oxide (NO) in septic shock. Large amounts of NO released by the endothelium and vascular smooth muscle cells lead to profound vasodilation and hyporesponsiveness to vasoconstrictors. The cytotoxic effect of NO could also cause tissue injury and organ failure. Inhibition of NO synthase, the enzyme responsible for NO production, has been proposed as a new therapy for septic shock. However, experimental reports have provided conflicting results, demonstrating both beneficial and detrimental effects. A brief review of the role of NO in septic shock and the possible use of NO synthase inhibitors as potential therapeutic agents is presented here.
In 1980, Furchgott and Zawadzki demonstrated that the relaxation of isolated arteries to acetylcholine required the presence of endothelial cells. This response was mediated by a labile humoral substance termed endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF).

Kayleigh McEnany, Tomi Lahren & Tucker Carlson were predictably stupid yesterday
Kayleigh McEnany, Media, Politics, Tomi Lahren, Tucker Carlson
Derek Chauvin, a degenerate psychopath murderer, was found guilty of all charges yesterday. It seemed like almost everyone felt relief at the verdict, and despite police forces across the country amping themselves up to bash BLM, there weren't people protesting on the streets or anything like that. All of that was disappointing for the regular suspects, the white supremacists who are struggling to find a way to blame Democrats for *something*. It can't just be that an unarmed man was murdered and his murderer was found guilty. It has to be us-versus-them, white aggrievement, racist something or other. Donald Trump's former press secretary Kayleigh McEnany chose to nitpick Joe Biden:
Donald Trump's former Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany scolded President Joe Biden Tuesday for weighing in on the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. She said to Fox News host Harris Faulkner, "There's so much hurt, so much pain. And I think it's the role of the president of the United States to stay back, to not inflame the tensions. I think he should have just reserved comment and said he's praying for the family as we all are."
Biden has called family members of George Floyd, Chauvin's alleged victim, to tell them he was praying for them, and he said he hopes jurors reach the "right verdict."
Trump often exhibited the kind of behavior McEnany claimed she abhors. The former president defended the actions of Kyle Rittenhouse, accused of killing two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer, and sent his well-wishes to Ghislaine Maxwell, accused of sex trafficking in service of Jeffrey Epstein from the White House briefing room, among other controversial remarks on legal matters.
[From The Daily Beast]
Biden didn't "inflame the tensions," he spoke to the Floyd family, showed compassion, urged calm and healing and argued for more proactive police reform. But Kayleigh wasn't the only MAGA blonde with a clenched a–hole yesterday. No, Tonka Lampshade also decided to tweet:
You got your justice so I'd assume there will be peace in Minneapolis tonight? No rioting? No looting? No harassing officers?
— Tomi Lahren (@TomiLahren) April 20, 2021
And when I say "your" justice I am referring to the groups who have been loudly declaring "no justice, no peace" as an excuse to ravage communities. Never said I disagreed with the verdict. Never said Chauvin wasn't wrong. Simply said you don't get a pass to anarchy because of it
The less said to and about Tampon Leak, the better. She was tweeting out a lot of sh-t because she was feeding on the negativity. Just keep in mind with all of these a–holes: their reaction to the white terrorism of the January 8th insurrection was markedly different. But it's not about race, you guys.
And finally, Tucker Carlson's White Supremacist Hour on Fox News was pretty bonkers last night.
Tucker Carlson had a complete meltdown tonight in response to a former New York corrections officer who criticized Derek Chauvin for using excessive force on George Floyd. Here's how the interview (abruptly) ended. pic.twitter.com/mBOxrsbhaJ

"And I think it's the role of the president of the United States to stay back, to not inflame the tensions."
Absolutely no shame!
This from the woman who took part in tear gasing, beating, flash-potting, and roto-washing peaceful protesters for a photo op with a Bible in response to Floyd's death last year.
Esmom says:
It's the same playbook they used with Obama, constantly calling him responsible for racial divisions. But after having had Trump as the Divider in Chief it is pretty amazing they can continue it with a straight face. Their hypocrisy has never been laid so bare.
E.B. Mann says:
Mac-a-Ninny looks like she's thinking "Pour me a chalice of that sweet, sweet adrenochrome."
kgeo says:
I'm not going to try to find that Tucker interview, but it looks like the NYC corrections officer didn't say what Tucker wanted him to say.
I CAN'T STAND TUCKER CARLSON. or any of them but he especially strikes a nerve w me.
He's the effing worst and they just let him go on and on and that face!!! That face he's always making that looks like he's trying to rub his two brain cells together to get some electricity in that empty head so hard that he's going to crap himself is the most punchable face I've ever seen.
By far, Ben Shapiro's complete Twitter meltdown was the most amusing. He's still sputtering this morning.
Barfly says:
How do these people look at themselves the mirror & enjoy what they see? Justice was done. Full stop. Now let it spread like wildfire
MM2 says:
Their reflection of themselves is so short sided. Can you imagine what society will view them as in 5, 20, or 50 years? Their children & grandchildren will be ashamed at their image.
What makes you so sure they have reflections? 🤓
I will say this: I do think President Biden should have said nothing about the jury or verdict until there WAS a verdict, as Jen Psaki had previously indicated he would. ONLY because the defense attorney tried to use the comments as grounds for a mistrial, and you could see that move coming from a mile away.
I wish Carlson, Tammy, and McNinny would all fall off a cliff.
Soupie says:
Can whats-her-face in the red dress look like more of a mean girl angry -itch?
Apple Tart says:
I do hope these people are giving pre-interviews telling the Fox interns everything they want to hear. Knowing they are going to shit on Tucker and his insane ideology.
Wtf is Tomi talking about?
She's bummed she doesn't have rioters to demonize as she might have if the verdict was not guilty. That seems to be literally her only takeaway from all this.
So she's just going ahead and demonizing them* anyway.
*Non-existant rioters
tealily, exactly. She'll take any opportunity to throw gasoline on a culture war fire. Even if one isn't burning at the moment, she'll stoke it anyway. This is pretty much all that Fox News is doing now.
I was so happy with the verdict!! I'm not American, So I'm not neither Republican or Democrat… but who told or adviced Nancy Pelosi to said what she say in the Press Conference!! 😂 It was NOT offensive, but… a WTF?? Moment!! Poor Nancy!! LOL!!
It was offensive. George Floyd did not "sacrifice his life" – he was murdered. Pelosi can kick rocks with that garbage.
sassafras says:
It wasn't great. I think she was reaching for some rhetoric and her Catholicism kind of muddled the point.
I'm making zero excuses for it. She had weeks to prepare remarks for each outcome and this is what we got.
I get what the intention was, but it was a huge cringe moment for me. I cannot get over how incredibly bad Democrats are with rhetoric sometimes. I appreciate her having Maxine Waters' back over her censure argument, but that was a major miss and (understandably) upset a lot of people with its implications. We don't need to turn victims of police brutality into martyrs. That's dehumanizing. We need be acting legislatively to stop letting the police turn American people into victims.
Lemons says:
Degenerates degenerating, that's all this is. They want to play the victim SOOO BAD because it feels so good. Well…just be allies. There are PLENTY of things to riot about: poverty, wealth gap, wage gap, salary stagnation, pollution, global warming, abysmal national and state educational standards, food diversity, ACCESS to healthy food for all, racism, sexism, Q melting the brains of susceptible portions of the population, access to physical and mental health services, etc.
But no. These idiots can only get it up for the "Great Replacement" as if their ancestors' culture is anything to write home about. (And for them, it's not since they are always looking for a way to appropriate).
Man, people are DRAGGING Tammy Loo-Loo in the comments on Twitter and I'm HERE FOR IT.
Predictably racist. All of them. Predictably.
mellie says:
Disgusting excuses for human beings, all of them…. I don't like any of them, but like the commenter above, I find Tucker Carlson especially hard to take, Ick/ew, nails on a chalkboard that one.
Can you imagine waking up in the morning and feeling good about being such a racist a-hole?
Lionel says:
How can he continue to have a show when he treats his guests like that?
Rice says:
Didn't the Capitol Riot happen on January 6th?
Those 3 Nazi Stooges can have many seats.
Last week Carlson said the vaccines don't even work. This guy is a flaming POS.
« Never said I disagreed with the verdict. Never said Chauvin wasn't wrong.»
Dog-whistle. IOW, she disagrees with the verdict, she's just not going to say it on her Twitter feed.

I did not like this movie at all. Bratty broads. Good cast, annoying characters.
1aa Mar 16, 2019
The imagery and colours of the film are surprising; it often looks like a music video; the cinematography is quite good. The plot is okay: there is a surprising twist at the end, but on the whole it feels unfinished because the two other characters who went home just disappeared from the story, and the consequences of the first robbery were non-existent and the last significant event (the plot twist at the end) is also consequence-less.
danomcd Aug 23, 2018
Horrible, I know why you are borrowing this movie and it really isn't worth it. The filming reminds me of watching an old 80's movie and the storyline is stupid.
gmeeks Jan 03, 2017
Total waste of time. No plot. Just stupid stuff as a vehicle for toplessness.
costuros Apr 18, 2016
If you like his movies you'll like this and think it's genius. I think all of his movies (aside form Kids which turns out he had very little to do with) are pretentious, self indulgent, cocaine induced hipster candy. Franco (who I like and think is a good actor and funny in general) comes off as an over acting clown, like an SNL skit. Not believable at all. Super cheesy. This movie ultimately tries too hard to be shocking, extreme and avant garde it's distracting.
MICHAEL TAGGART MALONEY May 05, 2015
In this film young women flee from their university education to the Florida coast in order to engage in the American ritual of the spring break bacchanal. This is a film devoted to booties and titties and Western culture's fascination with thug life. The female student protagonists are gangsta prodigies who end up forming a bond with a low-level dope dealer/rapper/stick-up man played with depth and nuance by James Franco. The whole picture is an obscene hallucination, which is Korine's specialty; but this is not to say that it is without merit. It is actually, in its own way, an understated and quiet movie; it reminds me, because of it's editing technique, of Steven Soderbergh's THE LIMEY (1999). Korine is making an important point about base materialism. Our liberal "democratic" consumer capitalist culture creates its own destabilizing Taliban ("students"), acolytes of excess who dream of violence.
lukasevansherman Apr 18, 2015
This needs to be watched as a gleefully nihilistic satire.

complete waste of time
GeoffAbel Oct 03, 2014
Love it hate it or both. I still can't decide. I love that it was so completely out of the box and upturned all expectations of what this film would be. Hate it because it was an artistic experiment by the film maker and he frequently lost sight of the whole. This will only fully appeal to a specific few who love art films - but also don't mind copious drugs, violence and tits. There "seems" to be much said with this film but not anything concrete - like, isn't hedonism stupid - because it ultimately isn't about anything. The film-maker said he tried to make the film like a piece of music - and I think in that he succeeded. Recommend only for film nerds but seeing some of his previous work might help.
Gary Geiserman Sep 20, 2014
Candy-colored candy flowing across the 'screen' (delete the structure). Mostly pre and post. Preparation on set and put it together in edit. --- Kind of what I'd do. This guy is at his highest and most confident visioning this play of sensibility. ---– Transmutes human errors with utmost amusement. ---- As to the drama element there are some flaws here and there that could have been eliminated w/either a few quick reshoots or in editing. Once in a while Franco slips out of trance because of ad libs. The gun sucking sequence was too glib I thought, however fun it was. I would've liked it more subtle, in league with the subtle strains of the sequences. In a seemingly outrageous flow subtlety was ever-present. --– The indulgence in indulgence could have been helped with an even shorter film (1:33) but it does do the Warhol thing. I thought the relative unattractiveness of the girls helped this effect (even though it most probably wasn't on purpose?). ---– A most amazing talent doing great things w/video. A man after my own heart; very much what I'd do, have done with audio. ----- I'd like to see Korine go even further away from plot since he doesn't seem to need it. The styles had flaws since he was see-sawing between guerilla filming and aesthetic editing. He needs to see this and work at focusing. ---- And not get so giddy (or high?) with all the stunned people around to lose this focus. If he relaxed a little more the vision would be more in 'harmony' with the process of getting there. --– A true 'wild man'. ----- Steve Jobs would love the candy colors so delicious!

Why the "Worst" Job I Had Was Actually the Best
Why You Should Take Entry-Level Jobs
9 May, 2018 by Nancy Einhart
When I was a junior in high school, I decided I wanted to be a journalist. I had only a vague idea of what working in journalism was really like, but I suspected I was good at it. As editor in chief of my high school literary magazine, I continued our first-place winning streak at Florida's state HS journalism competition (yep, that's a thing). I loved the thrill of working on deadline, editing stories, and coordinating all of the moving pieces to get a publication to print. I neglected my math homework and enjoyed diagramming sentences in my spare time.
Sh*t got real when I was accepted into the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, which is essentially an expensive version of trade school, in that it prepares you for one career path. Before I continued down this very specific path, I figured I should sample my chosen field, which led to one of the weirdest and most valuable jobs I've ever had. I started at the absolute bottom, and the experience was valuable in ways I never could have imagined. Here is why no one should ever be afraid to take the crappiest job they can find in their chosen career.
It's Not Just a Job
As my senior year of high school wound down, I needed a Summer job, and while there's nothing wrong with working in restaurants and retail, an entry-level job in the career you think you want to pursue can help you decide if that career is right for you. And if it is, you get a headstart on your resume and on making connections in your industry. I started by asking anyone I knew how to get my foot in the door at the local newspaper, the Pensacola News Journal. Surely they had some entry-level job they'd give to an 18-year-old, right? Eventually, I hit an unlikely jackpot. The girlfriend of the mom of a kid I babysat had just been promoted from her job at the paper, and they needed to fill her position: part-time evening newsroom clerk.
Newsroom clerk was barely a journalism job, and it definitely wasn't prestigious. As the night clerk, I worked from 2 to 10 p.m. (admittedly, ideal hours for my 18-year-old self). I shared the job and a very dirty desk with the daytime clerk, who I'm pretty sure lived in his car (no judgment; just providing context here). My random assortment of responsibilities included writing obituaries, compiling lottery numbers and front-page indexes, and listening to people complain on the reader feedback voicemail line. But I was thrilled: I had a paying gig in journalism already at age 18.
You Gain Relevant Skills
At major newspapers, writing obituaries is a prestigious job, since it involves crafting post-mortem tributes to dignitaries and public figures. These were not the obits I was writing. I "wrote" the kind that people paid to publish in the paper, after filling out a form with all the pertinent info and some preferred wording. I had very little creative freedom, but I still wanted to be the best damn obit writer this town had ever seen, even if no one but me could tell the difference. I learned that I enjoyed the journalistic aspects: making sure the style was consistent across all the obits, calling funeral homes and sometimes grieving family members to fact-check details. I learned to be a professional interviewer and an accurate reporter, and I got over my fear of picking up the phone and calling strangers (in front of other people, no less).
Even weirder was my job listening to the "reader feedback line" voicemail, where citizens could call in with their opinions and might be quoted on the opinion pages. Not only was this highly entertaining, but it taught me very early on that the most vocal readers are usually the angry, grumpy, and outraged ones. The reader feedback line didn't get a lot of warm compliments. Working in online journalism now, I'm fortunate to have learned early on that you can't take feedback too personally and it's best to ignore the haters.
You Can Observe the Culture
Even in the sh*ttiest job in the newsroom, I was still in a newsroom, and I very quickly realized that this work environment suited me. For the most part, it seemed people moved up the ladder because they were talented, not because of office politics. I was surrounded by funny, smart, irreverant people who weren't at all stuffy and, at times, downright outrageous: I once witnessed our grumpy, 60-something female copy chief shout (loud enough for the entire newsroom to hear): "How many c*cks do I have to suck to get this page proofed?!" These were my people!
I also got used to working in a fast-paced, loud office environment, and I grew accustomed to unpredictable workdays, where the plan could change at any moment if there was breaking news. Turns out, that was all great training for online journalism, where I ultimately ended up. I watched talented people who were willing to work untraditional hours and who stayed at the office until the work was done, which inspired me to do the same at future jobs.
You Get a Clearer Picture of What You Want to Do
At any entry-level job, you have to do stuff that sucks. But the parts of it you hate are valuable for two reasons: you're motivated to ask for extra (more rewarding) work, and you gain a clearer idea of what you like and what you don't like.
The task I hated most as a clerk was inputting new business licenses, which had to be published in the money section every month or so. I had to walk a few blocks to the courthouse with a laptop the size of a butcher block, request the newly filed business licenses, and manually input all of the information. Not only was it very boring, but it also made me sad to see how many pitiful people wanted to start businesses that were clearly awful ideas; think at-home beanie baby businesses with names like "Barb's Beanie Babies." But spending two hours doing that made me yearn for more rewarding work, so I asked for it. I pitched stories to the features desk and wrote them in my spare time; working all those extra hours was totally worth it when I got my byline in the paper. Plus, I got my foot in the door, which led to freelance work and a paid internship on the features desk during college.
I also got to witness the different roles at the paper — copyeditors, feature writers, hard-news reporters — and talk to people about their jobs and observe their day-to-day lifestyles. In the break room or the "smoking hut," I asked writers and editors about their career paths, what stories they were working on, whatever. I realized that the idea of being a hard-news reporter sort of terrified me, and the features desk seemed more creative and fun. As a direct result of those observations, I decided to major in magazine journalism instead of newspapers. It was definitely the right decision, and one I couldn't have made without that first "crappy" job.
You Learn to Pay Your Dues
Perhaps the most valuable part of that clerk job was that it gave me perspective. I realized I should never be too proud to take on the most menial tasks. At every internship and entry-level job I had over the next 5 years, I never minded doing boring, often thankless tasks, like transcribing interviews or fact-checking, because I knew I could gain valuable knowledge and skills along the way. So far it's working out for me.

Q: How to combine columns in sql based on another field I have a table in SQL Server 2008 R2 like this:
Acc_id  Bench-1     Bench-2
-------------------------------
  1      xx
  1                   vv
  2      pp
  2                   ii
  3      kk
  4                   ll

Now, I want to combine this table on the basis of Acc_id column and get something like:
Acc_id   Bench-1     Bench-2
---------------------------------
  1       xx            vv
  2       pp            ii
  3       kk
  4                     ll

So, could someone please help me out.

A: I would do this like:
select
  Acc_id,
  max([Bench-1)] as [Bench-1],
  max(([Bench-2]) as [Bench-2]
from
  myTable
group by
  Acc_id

This assumes Acc_id won't have multiple rows with data in the same columns
If that is the case then your knowledge of the use of the results will come into play.  I often will perform this more completely like
select
  Acc_id,
  min([Bench-1)] as [Bench-1Min],
  max([Bench-1)] as [Bench-1Max],
  Count([Bench-1)] as [Bench-1Count],
  min([Bench-2)] as [Bench-2Min],
  max([Bench-2)] as [Bench-2Max],
  Count([Bench-2)] as [Bench-2Count],
from
  myTable
group by
  Acc_id

All this depends on the actual complexity of the real data and what you want to do with the results.  If it IS actually as simple as you example the multi-join solution may work for you, but I often find that in more complex summarizations the group by solution give me results and performance I need.

A:  SELECT ISNULL(b1.Acc_id,b2.Acc_id) as Acc_id,
        b1.data,
        b2.data

 FROM Bench-1 AS b1 FULL OUTER JOIN
      Bench-2 AS b2 ON b2.Acc_id = b1.Acc_id

A: Check Below query
SELECT DISTINCT a.acc_id,
            b.bench_1,
            c.bench_2
FROM   table1 a
   LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT acc_id,
                           bench_1
                    FROM   table1
                    WHERE  Isnull(bench_1, '') <> '') b
                ON a.acc_id = b.acc_id
   LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT acc_id,
                           bench_2
                    FROM   table1
                    WHERE  Isnull(bench_2, '') <> '') c
                ON a.acc_id = c.acc_id

The round table devoted to climate vulnerability assessment and its priorities on the project "Climate Forum East" was held on August 27, 2013 at the Belarus Red Cross Society (BRC's) training centre. The representatives from both sectors – state as well as non-state took part in the meeting: the hydrometeorological centre, the "Green Alliance", United Nations Development Programme, the Youth Association, the Woman's information coordination centre, the NGO "Nature and Us".
The round table's programme consisted of the coordinator's (Dmitry Rusakov) presentation on heat waves in Belarus and that experience which BRC has already had in dealing such a problem. The national expert – Evgeniya Bertosh prolonged the topic, having shown existing best practices in adaptation to climate change as well as its influence on social and economic sectors. The potential partners took to priorities' discussion for the future assessment.
4) Fire break-out (not only in forestry).
The partners have shown their willingness and readiness to take part in CVA, which should be written by the end of 2013.


Pakistan expressed fear Friday that a large increase in foreign troops in Afghanistan could push militants across the border into its territory and called on the U.S. to factor in that concern as part of its new war strategy.
Nov. 23, 2009 8:13 p.m.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan expressed fear Friday that a large increase in foreign troops in Afghanistan could push militants across the border into its territory and called on the U.S. to factor in that concern as part of its new war strategy.
The Pakistani concerns, raised by the prime minister during a meeting with visiting CIA director Leon Panetta, could pose another headache for President Barack Obama as he weighs military proposals to send 10,000 to 40,000 additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan next year.
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said the United States must fully share its plans for Afghanistan with Pakistan so that it can contribute to them, according to a statement from his office.
Gilani also warned that more troops could push militants across the border.
The U.S. Embassy declined to comment on the CIA director's visit to the country.
American security and government leaders have frequently visited Pakistan in recent weeks to urge it to do more against militants on its side of the border blamed for violence inside Afghanistan.
Pakistani officials have said in the past that they were worried that Obama's original surge of 21,000 troops this summer would lead to more militants crossing over into the country, something that has not happened.
Also, U.S. plans to close remote posts near the border and instead focus on larger population centres in Afghanistan have sparked fears that militants will now find it easier to move between the two countries.
Pakistan's government is under domestic pressure not to be seen simply taking orders from the United States and give the impression it has a say in any new Afghan policy.
As such, Gilani's statement could have been as much directed at a local audience as to the Americans.
Pakistan's army launched an offensive against the Taliban in South Waziristan in mid-October — an effort welcomed by Washington. It has retaken many towns in the lawless region, but many militants are believed to have fled north to escape the fighting and have retaliated with deadly bombings and clashes.
Four Pakistani soldiers, including a captain, were killed Friday when militants ambushed their convoy in the North Waziristan area of Shawal, local intelligence officials said.
Two police officers also were killed and four others were wounded earlier Friday when a remote-controlled bomb destroyed their vehicle in Peshawar, said city police Chief Liaquat Ali Khan.
The attack occurred hours after a suicide bomber killed 19 people in the city, which is the main gateway to the al-Qaida and Taliban-inhabited border region.
Pakistani officials flagged the offensive in South Waziristan several months before it actually began, which critics say allowed the militants to escape and plan the current wave of terror.
A U.S. drone fired two missiles at a compound being used by suspected Taliban militants in a village near Mir Ali in North Waziristan, according to two intelligence officials.
Anti-American sentiment is pervasive throughout Pakistan. The Pakistani government publicly condemns the U.S. strikes as violations of its sovereignty, but many analysts believe the two countries have a secret deal allowing them.
Obama, who has been criticized for taking so long to weigh the issue, has promised to announce his decision on Afghanistan over the next several weeks.
Pakistan helped nurture a generation of Islamic militants after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979. Following the Soviet withdrawal a decade later, Pakistan helped the Taliban seize control. Many of these militants fled to Pakistan after the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001.

S.T. Coleridge As a Romantic Poet- Part II
Dramatic and Musical features of S.T Coleridge:
The poems of Coleridge are dramatic with dialogues and sudden changes. The way the story is unveiled in "The Rime of Ancient Mariner" is nothing but drama with greater amount of suspense and fantastic change of events and situations. The wedding guest does is held by the arm though he pleads:
"The Bridegroom's doors are opened wide
And I am next of kin".
The Mariner has little interest in his resentment and continues: "there was ship".
The old Mariner is all set out to experience the unbelievable and the untold figures in a state of terror and horror:
"We could not speak, no more than if
We had been chocked with soot."
Coleridge's poetry and music are identical because of the use of melodious tone and rhyming by the poet. In below lines the music is appealing to the readers and listeners:
"A savage place! As holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted"
Suspension of disbelief:
means that the reader would be willing to believe a fantastic story by suspension of disbelief about unlikeness of the tale, provided that, a writer is capable of infusing "human interest and a semblance of truth" into it. Coleridge has been successful in creating this suspension of disbelief in almost all his poems. In "Kubla Khan", we are willing to believe the poet:
"I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there..."
In "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" the strange manner in which the old Mariner holds the arm of the "wedding guest" is not much different from the readers that are firmly held by the story of the fantastic story of the mariner. This is all with suspension of disbelief on the part of the reader. We don't want to believe what the poet is saying, but we are captivated by the beautiful tale and are willing to believe its apparent truth.

Freddy chats with Michael Shannon
Published at: Jan. 19, 2019, 8 p.m. CST by Freddy Beans
Freddy Beans here with an interview of Michael Shannon, for his recent release STATE LIKE SLEEP. Which, I reviewed here.
Freddy Beans: Hey Michael, how are you doing today?
Michael Shannon: Pretty good. How about yourself?
FB: I'm hanging in there. I saw STATE LIKE SLEEP recently. I was wondering if you could give a quick synopsis of the film?
MS: Sure. It's about a woman dealing with the loss of her husband who died a mysterious death. It's so incredibly painful for her. She chose to walk away. Without getting too deeply into it, she's drawn back into the mystery by certain forces and it forces her to confront what might have actually happened.
FB: Perfect! Any more would be giving away way too much.
What was your favorite part about playing Edward?
MS: Well, in this line of work you spend a lot of time in hotels. I spend a lot of time on the road. I think hotels are fascinating. They've been the location for many a great film in the past. They're one of the most intriguing locations both in cinema and real life. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to tell a story in that atmosphere. Hotels are very mysterious, ya know? You're sharing this space with all these strangers and they're right next to you. You don't' know anything about em. It can show how similar we are. It can show how different we are. There's so many interesting possibilities.
FB: That's such an interesting perspective. I've never really thought about it like that. Except when those neighbors are waking me up right? (Laughs)
To play the flip side of that Michael, what was your least favorite part of playing Edward?
MS: I don't think I really had one. I had a lot of fun doing this movie. I've known Katherine Waterston for years. I always wanted to work with her on a film. We knew each other through different shoots, and I always thought she was a talented, interesting actress. I was really excited to play opposite of her. I didn't have any gripes in this one movie.
FB: Great to hear it! To get off of the movie a little bit, most of your roles come off as deeply cerebral. You're usually a very strong and intense character actor. I was wondering, what makes you choose sinister or intense characters?
MS: No, I don't choose them on purpose. I don't' know what draws me to play anything. I really don't know. It's a mystery to me. I have a hard time motivating myself to do anything. So to try and explain why I play the parts that I do; I don't think the English language is sufficient.
FB: I can appreciate that.
One of my favorite films is GROUNDHOG'S DAY. I guess I was wondering if there was anything you'd like to relate about the production there and what it felt like to be on that set for your first feature film?
MS: Well yeah, it was a heck of a way to start out in the movie business! It's a classic picture, I'm lucky to be a small part of it. Ya know, I'm lucky for any of this stuff. I'm lucky, you're calling me and have the slightest interest in what I have to say about anything. Harold Ramis was a lovely man and he treated me very kindly. I was scared. I was very young when I did that movie and he was very nice to me. I'll never forget that. I was very sad, when he passed away. A very, very kind man.
FB: That's' awesome man. Thank you for sharing that. I really liked the personal essence you shared there.
To go another route, one of my favorite roles of yours personally, is Peter Evans from BUG. I'm a horror movie guy, so I should probably preface it with that. I was wondering if playing such a crazy mad persona left residuals. Did you find it hard to go home at night as Michael after a day of shooting as Peter?
MS: I find life extremely difficult all the time. Every second of life is difficult. Whether I'm playing Peter Evans or in my own mind, life is a trial. "Life is suffering," that's what the Buddha said.
FB: It's true. I like that, though maybe not the suffering piece. (Laughs)
For the ICEMAN movie, did you get any interesting access on Richard Kuklinski? Or how did you prepare for that role?
MS: He was long dead by the time I did that movie. I got the unedited footage of the interviews. When HBO first put it together, they were trying to construct it in certain ways and make it all dramatic. I didn't want to watch that. The director, had access to the pure unadulterated interviews which were a little more complex than what you see in the television program. Television has an unfortunate habit of taking things that are complex and interesting and making them dull and stupid.
FB: Isn't that the truth. I saw a list of your favorite movies, not sure how legit it was but some of them were old classics like KING OF COMEDY and CRUMB. What stood out for me, was I STAND ALONE being in there.
MS: Oh yeah!
FB: Wow! I was hoping you could expand on why that made your best of list. Being the horror guy, I'm a big fan of what Gaspar does, he really effectively knows how to get under my skin. Yeah, why I STAND ALONE?
MS: I think at the time I saw that movie. I had never had such a visceral reaction, ya know? You measure the greatness of something by the standard of what kind of emotions are stirred inside of you. What kind of reaction you have to it. That was definitely, the most disturbing movie I have ever seen in my life!
FB: Way to capture its appeal! It's definitely one that sticks with you.
Is there anything new with your band CORPORAL you'd like to share, or are you on a hiatus?
MS: We just played a couple of shows, right before the election, to get people excited about voting. I think I might try and make a new record this summer but I'm not sure.
FB: That would be cool. I actually liked the music I heard, I was impressed.
MS: Cool!
FB: Not a lot of us have family members that discover and identify the mosquito responsible for carrying Malaria or their collections ending up in the Smithsonian Institution. I was wondering if there were any cool stories you could share about your grandfather, Raymond Corbett Shannon?
MS: Well, one of the tragic things about that is he died when my father was five years old. So, he died way before I ever came into the picture. I've only ever seen one photograph of him. I don't know much about him. The one thing I do remember, is this story my dad used to tell me. It's not a story but a letter my grandfather wrote, in which it laid out his hopes and dreams regarding his son, being my father. What his son would accomplish. It was a list of like 100 things he wanted my dad to be and accomplish. My dad always said, "Isn't this absurd?" How could one person, possibly do all this stuff? Apparently he was a very driven human being. You need to temper that, because it can literally lead you to work yourself to death. There's definitely a strand of that in my family. Even my father was a workaholic. We have to remind ourselves to take a break, ya know?
FB: Absolutely! It's a great reminder. Thank you for that personal story you just shared Michael. Really appreciate that!
MS: No problem!
FB: What is your favorite horror movie?
MS: Hmmmmm. THE SHINING, would probably be up there. My dad used to show me this movie. An old movie called DIABOLIQUE. (1955) The thing that both THE SHINING and DIABOLIQUE have in common, is there's scenes in both of them with a woman in the bathtub. Both scenes are really creepy in different ways.
FB: That's fantastic. I literally just watched DIABOLIQUE recently, so cool shout out for me.
Thank you for your time today Michael! You've been awesome today. Is there anything you're working on that you'd like to tell our readers to keep an eye out for?
MS: Honestly, I don't think I have anything going on until November. I just did this movie KNIVES OUT for writer/director Rian Johnson, who did that Star wars movie THE LAST JEDI. That will be out in November. Thank you Fred. Thank you man!
FB: Thank you Michael!

text: Q: What is the USB like connector on this PCB? I am just jumping into the world of electrical engineering (coming from software development) and I am examining some PCB's trying to find UART, JTAG connections, etc. I've come across a board with a connection that looks like a very small USB connector. I am curious, what does this connector do? Can it be used for debugging and establishing a UART or JTAG connection? Thanks!


You can also use penne, linguine, or any other pasta shape your family prefers.
Melt butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic to pan; cook 1 minute. Remove garlic from pan with a slotted spoon; place in a small bowl. Increase heat to medium-high. Add shrimp, salt, and pepper to pan; cook 4 minutes or until shrimp are done, stirring occasionally. Add pasta, spinach, and garlic to pan; cook 1 minute or until spinach wilts, tossing to coat. Sprinkle with cheese.
I cannot believe the result of such an easy recipe....my kids asked if I could make again tomorrow! And since it took about 10 minutes total, I think I will! My only addition was a little extra spinach and two pinches of red chilis (my kids like their food on the spicy side).
I created an account just so I could rate this recipe! This was sooo good! I added more spinach because I love it. I liked it as much, if not better than shrimp pasta I would get at a fancy restaurant because it tastes yummy without all the calories of a heavy Alfredo/ white sauce.
So easy to make and so delicious. I will be making this again and again.
The wife and I loved this recipe. We followed the instructions exactly. A definite make again weeknight meal.
Delicious & so easy to make! We added some mushrooms, and it was fantastic.
Easy weeknight dish. Basic and good.
Excellent recipe. Quick, easy, and flavorful. The only change I made was I diced two medium tomatoes and threw them in with the spinach and pasta. I really liked the acid that they added to the recipe. My kids (ages 8 and 3) both asked for seconds, so it is definitely a keeper!
Easy dish with outstanding flavor! Good for family or company.The spinach looks huge at first when it goes in the pan but wilts nicely. One of our very favorite recipes from Cooking Light.

Q: Surjection from decomposition group to automorphism group of residue fields for infinite Galois extensions Let $L/K$ be a (infinite) Galois extension, $A \subset K$ a Dedekind domain with field of fractions $K$ and $B$ its integral closure in $L$. Then for every nonzero prime ideal $\mathfrak{P}$ of $B$ and $\mathfrak{p}$ of $A$, there is a group homomorphism $D(\mathfrak{P}|\mathfrak{p}) \to {\rm Aut}(\kappa(\mathfrak{P})/\kappa(\mathfrak{p}))$. I read somewhere that this homomorphism is surjective, and I am trying to deduce this from the case where $L/K$ is finite (which is a standard fact from algebraic number theory). I figured the easiest way to do this deduction would be to write (using the usual arguments)
$$D(\mathfrak{P} | \mathfrak{p}) \cong  \varprojlim_{F \in \mathcal{F}} D_{F/K}(\mathfrak{P} \cap F | \mathfrak{p})$$
and
$${\rm Aut}(\kappa(\mathfrak{P})/\kappa(\mathfrak{p})) \cong \varprojlim_{F \in \mathcal{F}} {\rm Aut}(\kappa(\mathfrak{P} \cap F)/\kappa(\mathfrak{p}))$$
where $\mathcal{F}$ is the collection of intermediate fields $K \subset F \subset L$ such that $F/K$ is finite and Galois. So the homomorphism we want to prove is surjective is given in the $F$-coordinate by the one in the finite case,
$$D_{F/K}(\mathfrak{P} \cap F | \mathfrak{p}) \to {\rm Aut}(\kappa(\mathfrak{P} \cap F)/\kappa(\mathfrak{p}))$$
which we know is surjective. But this doesn't seem like enough to deduce the result I want. In particular, pulling back each coordinate under this map will not necessarily yield a valid element of the inverse limit. Is there some way to fix this issue? In particular, I think it should be possible to take $\mathcal{F}$ to be a smaller collection of finite Galois subextensions with the property that for each $F_1, F_2 \in \mathcal{F}$, either $F_1 \subset F_2$ or the other way around. Then, because $I_{F_2/K}(\mathfrak{P} \cap F_2|\mathfrak{p})$ surjects onto $I_{F_1/K}(\mathfrak{P} \cap F_1|\mathfrak{p})$ under the restriction map, we know that if we are given $\sigma_2 \in D_{F_2/K}(\mathfrak{P} \cap F_2|\mathfrak{p})$ that reduces mod $\mathfrak{P} \cap F_2$ to a particular $\tau_2$ which restricts to $\tau_1$ on $\kappa(\mathfrak{P} \cap F_1)$, and $\sigma_1 \in D_{F_1/K}(\mathfrak{P} \cap F_1 | \mathfrak{p})$ reduces mod $\mathfrak{P} \cap F_1$ to $\tau_1$, then we can modify $\sigma_2$ by composing with the appropriate element of $I_{F_2/K}(\mathfrak{P} \cap F_2 | \mathfrak{p})$ so that $\sigma_2$ restricts to $\sigma_1$. The problem is, we can only do this one preimage at a time, and the collection $\mathcal{F}$ is not necessarily countable. Is there some kind of induction/Zorn's lemma argument to fix this? Also, is there a simpler or more direct way to prove this fact?

A: Pass from $K$ to the fixed field of the decomposition group $L^{D(\mathfrak{P}|\mathfrak{p})}$ so that we may assume $\rm{Gal}(L/K)=D(\mathfrak{P}|\mathfrak{p})$.
Let $I(\mathfrak{P}|\mathfrak p)=\ker(D(\mathfrak{P}|\mathfrak p) \to {\rm Aut}(\kappa(\mathfrak{P})/\kappa(\mathfrak{p}))$ be the inertia group and let $L^{I(\mathfrak P|\mathfrak{p})}$ be the inertia field. Then $L':=L^{I(\mathfrak{P}|\mathfrak{p})}$ is Galois over $K$ (as we assumed that  $\rm{Gal}(L/K)=D(\mathfrak{P}|\mathfrak{p})$) and if we let $\mathfrak{P}'=\mathfrak{P} \cap L'$, then we have $\kappa(\mathfrak{P}')=\kappa(\mathfrak{P})$ and the homomorphism $\rm{Gal}(L/K) \to {\rm Aut}(\kappa(\mathfrak{P})/\kappa(\mathfrak{p})) $ factors over $\rm{Gal}(L/K) \to \rm{Gal}(L'/K)$ which is surjective. But now $\mathfrak{p}$ is unramified in $L'/K$ which means that we can reduce to the unramified case. But in the unramified case, the map $\rm{Gal}(L'/K) \to {\rm Aut}(\kappa(\mathfrak{P}')/\kappa(\mathfrak{p}))$ is actually an isomorphism, which can be easily concluded from the finite degree case, without the problems that arise if you just try to show surjectivity directly with a limit argument.


First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) has been an important part of the fabric of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County for over 120 years. It was first organized in the town of Winston on August 1, 1890 and its first chapel was built in November of 1891 at 660 West Fourth Street. Soon, the church had grown to the point where it needed a new building and on April 9, 1898 the congregation dedicated its new facility on the same site on West Fourth Street.
In 1913 the towns of Winston and Salem merged and the new town of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County flourished. In 1922 the church (now called the Fourth Street Church of Christ) again moved to a new location on Fourth Street.
By 1954 the rapidly growing population of Winston-Salem was moving away from the downtown area and into the suburbs and at the same time the building that housed the Fourth Street Church of Christ had grown too small for its membership. So, in 1953 the congregation voted to build a new church in a new location. In May of 1954 the church, now called First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), purchased 4.77 acres on Country Club Road and in December of 1958 dedicated the educational and fellowship wings of the church. The sanctuary was completed and dedicated in May of 1961.
The 1960's and 1970's were important decades for the congregation. Oppportunities for women to serve the church were expanded, including permitting women to serve as Elders. A new pipe organ was added to the sanctuary and dedicated in 1974. The church focused on community relations and outreach programs and instrumental in helping establish agencies such as Samaritan Ministries, Crisis Control, the Forsyth Prison Chaplaincy and Meals on Wheels. It also operated a well-known preschool. The congregation sought ties with other local churches; for example, the Community Thanksgiving Service, which began as a cooperative effort between First Christian Church and Knollwood Baptist Church, is still going strong with the participation of more than a dozen churches and serves to strengthen interfaith understandings in the community.
In the 1990's the church renovated its Children's Wing and Taylor Fellowship Hall. During this decade the church also established ties with Habitat for Humanity; in fact, the first Habitat house built exclusively by members of the congregation was dedicated in 1995.
Currently, First Christian Church is experiencing growth and revitalization. The church has operated Creative Palooza, an afterschool program and summer day camp, since the summer of 2009. A Children Worship and Wonder program was established in 2008 and a new Sunday School program for children and youth, called Faith Journey, was established in the winter of 2012. As a congregation and as individuals the church continues to actively support a number of community agencies as well as Disciples World Missions. One of the highlights of each year since 2006 has been the church-wide mission trip, in which volunteers from the congregation go to an area of the United States that has been ravaged by natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and tornadoes in Birmingham, Alabama and Henryville, Indiana. The congregation was named "Congregation of the Year" for the year 2010 by the Shepherd's Center of Greater Winston-Salem and in February 2012 received an award from Keep Winston-Salem Beautiful for the work it did in 2011 cleaning up its adopted stream. Also in 2011 the congregation undertook the task of restoring its sanctuary and rededicated it in January of 2012. In 2013 the congregation began an active partnership with Easton Elementary School in Winston-Salem; this partnership includes a Backpack program to provide food for children on the weekends who might otherwise go hungry, school supplies for teachers and students and various activities to support the faculty and staff. Also in 2013 First Christian Church began the Disciples Community Garden; produce from the garden is donated to Catholic Social Services.
First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) continues to be a caring Christian community and we look forward to many more years of worship, ministry and service.


If you could only wear one colour for the next year, what colour would you choose?
For me it would be blue. But I couldn't limit myself to just one shade of blue, there would be light and dark blues along with a lovely medium sky blue. I'd also venture to the warmer teal blues through to the cooler periwinkle blues.
Well it's a signature colour and brings out my blue eyes.
It flatters me and it has a calm presence.
I already wear lots of it and could happily wear it day after day.
Blue is the world's favourite colour – I believe because it's the colour of the sky on a beautiful day and that makes all of us feel good. If you want to know more about the psychology of blue read this post.
So tell me – if you could only wear one colour for the next year what would you choose? And tell me how that colour makes you feel and what it means to you!
I haven't managed to find a consensus on my favourite colour is called – is it berry, burgundy, or wine? I've heard it called all of these. For me, it must be rich, sometimes more vibrant, sometimes a little deeper but it must be more on the pink side than the red – and never dull or dusty! I use texture and minimal accessories to add interest and it always feels a bit royal, a bit polished. As I always feel happier when I wear it, I have recently decided to slowly morph my wardrobe into staples of this colour. However, I'm not sure if will look too heavy when, say, summer comes around?
You could even call it Maroon – colour naming is pretty arbitary except for the red, yellow, blue, green variety. Everything else is nuanced and you can call your favourite colour what you like!
Imogen, like you my favorite colour would be blue. Starting with my favourite and basic Inky navy, my version of black, through to sapphire, royal blue, and steely blue in winter. In summer I would add cobalt and maybe a bit of teal blue.
In my mid 60s my Deep Winter colouring has faded just a little and with my grey hair and grey hazel eyes, these colours add a vibrancy and youthfulness to my face. They also better suit my more casual, retirement lifestyle.
Definitely reddish orange for me! I love those signature colors, they make me happy and I think they make me glow in a good way. I've been thinking about trying to limit my purchases of tops and dresses to that palette for a while and see what I come up with and how it feels. It would certainly better help focus my selection of neutrals for bottoms and shoes as well.
Blue for me too. When I wear blue, people compliment my blue eyes–which are hazel! And I love how I feel wearing blue. Sounds kinda hokey but I feel one with the sky and the ocean. I love the ocean, which can make people feel calm but also energized. The ocean is also restless and promises adventure and discovery, and danger.
Brown…calms me in the same way blue does for you!
Green has a grounded, calming effect for me, especially Olive, a color least chosen by most people, brings out beautiful coloring in my eyes and skin.
Imogen, you are the best!
All shades of orange for me, as long as I can pair it with some neutrals. Wearing head to toe orange has never occurred to me 😛 It's the colour that suits me best and I also like to use it for decorating too. In my last apartment I had an orange bed cover, an orange curtain, an orange bathroom floor and orange accessories in the kitchen. I can't have enough orange in my life! It makes me feel energised and positive.
Ah yes olive green for me too! A very challenging color to find most times. I find it very grounding and calming but also a color of growth and potential. Maybe it is the color for those of us with green eyes. I'd love more green tips and I do just what you do in blue – lots of shades of green.
I am supposed to love green (signature color!), too; my eyes are green and green is the color of most trees and plants, but I find it hard to wear. Must not know what I'm doing.
We'll sort that out for you soon Jenny!
I could easily wear navy blue forever. It suits me much better than black, is classic and traditional and makes me feel like I blend in (I don't like to stand out in a crowd). As long as I could wear any color accessory, that is, since I like a little variety.
I'm with you on blue, Imogen! The warmer shades of blue are my best & what I love the most!
Greens: olive : both light and dark, evergreen, lead green, prints using all , and then my jewelry would all work and change the feel.. Of course I reality, I never chose One of anything – I would add to that rusts, chocolate brown / British tan , dk plum.
Living with spectacular views of Bass Strait in all its blue/grey shades intermixed with green country side, my home interior is blue paired with whites & green 'touches'. But I really enjoy wearing black/grey/white shades with a bright statement accessory. I don't think I could limit myself to one colour only.
Interesting article in NY Magazine. Looking into my closet, it looks like the only colour I wear is blue (and black, white and grey, but they are not actual colours). I think I ought to do a 7 steps program soon 🙂 I'd like to branch out a bit colour wise.
Like you, my favorite color also is blue. Reminds me of the blue sky on a sunny day as well as the deep blue waters of Lake Michigan. And I've also been told that blue clothing brings out the blue in my eyes. My favorite blues: indigo and periwinkle.
My wardrobe in pretty much white, navy and black. If I had to pick one, it would be white.
My colour would be forever the mix of green and blue. Teal, Cyan, Petrol, Turquoise, Aqua, or whatever names this colour has.
Dark Petrol is my eye colour, so I get most compliments when wearing that. I usually cant wear very bright colours, but with turquoise, it somehow works. I have a almost neon shirt that gets me compliments… Every other colour must be muted or softer.
Definitely blue for me too. It's calming, peaceful and tranquil. I seem to have some weird affinity with water, oceans, rivers etc, and the look of a tropical beach with it's green palm trees, yellow sand and peaceful blue water is always relaxing to look at.
Not all shades mind you, dark blues are a little too dark (so bottoms only) and lights and pastels a little too light for my skin tone. Turquoises, aquas, medium shades fit in with my style and while I have green eyes they have a slate blue ring around the outside, so it brings them out as well.
Blue really looks great on your. You've got plenty of ace blue pieces. I think this is a really tricky question. I'm not really a one colour kinda person. I think i would choose…. I don't think I can do it!
Thanks for linking up to Top of the World Style. This color is really you. I love the coat!
True red for me please. I wear a lot of neutrals but if I could only have one colour it would need to make me happy, look great, be vibrant and sing to my soul.
If I had to choose just one colour it would be varying shades of green. Olive green especially, Khaki, teal green and many others. Other colour/neutral that I love is varying shades of browns. My eyes too as other here are hazel.
Thanks for your great website Imogen, very much appreciate the work that you put into it for us.
For me, it's black. Definitely black. My wardrobe is filled with black, sometimes with white stripes or spots. Little punches of colour slip in here and there, but the base is always black. Sad, but true.
Oh I'd love to get you into more colour – it really will change your life!
Blue looks fabulous on you! I have no idea what color I would choose. If I have to choose it might be black?!? I know so boring, but for me it's a classic color and I love showing texture in my outfits!
Blue is so perfect for you! I don't know how I would ever choose just one colour! I would probably go with blue too only because I love denim and am quite partial to navy as well. Tough choice though.
I have been buying fabrics to turn into "basics" and they are mostly some form of blue. I like myself in blue, from light to dark.
Another wine here! I have auburn hair and green eyes and it just works for me. I have found that people notice/comment if I wear a lot all at once. One time I was wearing a coat, bag, and boots all in wine and had just had my hair done and two separate people commented on how my coat matched my shoes and my bag and my hair! (I also have rainboots, a leather jacket, jeans, cords, shorts and skirts as well as various tops.) My second choice would be medium grey. It's easy and great for winter and spring.
I am a purple girl lavender to dark.Mid purple sort of periwinkle is my favourite.Hasn't been around the shops much lately tho so blue and grey have become my go to colours instead.
Teal, especially when it errs toward the cool side. It has been my favorite color for a long time, but sadly it tends to go in and out of fashion on a regular basis. My college dorm room was teal. Now I'm 40 and it's back again. I told my husband that I should be very happy at 60, because it'll be due for a resurgence then add well!
Imogen, it took my reading one of your articles about reflecting our natural colors to realize that teal looks amazing on me. Who knew I had all of those colors in my eyes? Normally they just look blue-gray, but teal really makes them pop. I could wear it every day. Plus I find it to be a very calming color.
I would pick brown. I love the different shades you can get. I love the earthy feel.
For me it would be blue……including aqua, turquoise, teals, and all warm blues as well as marine and sky blue.
If it's to bring out my eye color, I better choose a kind of green… olive, loden or such. Works like a charm!
Orange! There are many items in my closet of varying shades of orange… Coral, watermelon, cantaloupe, bright orange. I love it all. It makes me feel energized!! The pinkish oranges (watermelon) look great with my fair skin and blonde hair.
Choosing one color would be my worst nightmare.

Six things hospitals can do to attract and retain desirable Medicare market share
Most hospitals today sink or swim financially based, in great part, on their ability to attract and retain desirable market share. This can best be achieved by helping patients choose a health plan with which the hospital has favorable reimbursement. But while that answer is clear, the question remains of "how best to do this?"

Time for Providers to Control Their Own Destiny
As providers get caught between nagging government regulations, shrinking reimbursement from insurers, and new competition from entrepreneurial startups, the struggle for desirable market share has never been greater. In this carnival of change, hospital and physician leaders have four choices. They can waste time trying to retrace the genesis and evolution that has created this battlefield, they can grind their teeth in frustration, they can fiddle around the fringes and hope for the best, or they can flex their own muscles to control their own destiny.

Mike Heck Published: December 31, 2018
I can't believe how fast time goes by. I also can't believe that I am typing out the following words:
Today is my last day at Live 95.9 and Townsquare Media Berkshire.
Just about five years have come and gone since I walked into the Live 95.9 studio for the first time. The story on how I got here is an interesting one. I moved to Berkshire County in July 2010, truly having no idea where I was going and what I was going to do. I spent the better part of four years grinding, bartending, hosting karaoke shows and trivia nights, DJing weddings, parties, celebrations, etc. all while trying to find my place. Luckily, I met, and am married to, the most supportive woman on the planet who always saw something in me, even though I didn't know what that was a lot of times.
Fast forward to December 2013. I was in Connecticut for a family function and received a phone call asking me, "what would you think about being in radio?" Now, at the time, I had just begun launching my first podcast, "Sports Fan Like Conduct", where myself, and a few of my friends would just rant and rave about sports hoping that anyone in their right minds would actually care. Spoiler alert, early on, they didn't, but it was still fun to scratch that initial broadcasting itch. Anyways, when I heard that question, I was immediately intrigued. About an hour later, I got a phone call from Bryan Slater who began to explain what the position would entail. Bryan's initial concern and remark: "I just want to let you know, this isn't a sports show. You can talk about sports once in a while, but for the most part, we don't talk about sports." I understood.
Of course, my biggest thought was, "how am I even in this position? Why me?" Well, for longtime listeners of Live 95.9, before I arrived, you may have noticed a lot of people come and go - most notably in the morning show hours. It was time to change that, so Slater stepped into that role permanently -- which, quite honestly, is the best thing that has ever happened to Live 95.9 in my opinion -- so there was a need to fill the afternoon time slot. The powers that be had somebody lined up and were just awaiting the final "yes, I'm in." Luckily for me, that person didn't deliver that answer. From there, the rest is history.
When people ask me how I got into radio, my answer is always the same, "It was pure coincidence and being in the right place at the right time." But in the broad scheme of things, I truly believe it was where I was meant to be in my life. I was, and still am, enthralled by the radio business. Some people say it's a dying medium, that radio will be taken out by the Spotifys, Pandoras and podcasts of the world. From where I sit, that couldn't be the furthest thing from the truth. Radio, especially if done while wearing local lenses in your community, will continue to flourish. Sure, musically, we probably have a ways to go. But in terms of being community based and having local talent wave those community flags, there is still so much potential that hasn't even been touched yet.
That potential will be reached here in the Berkshires with the area's flagship radio station for the last five years, Live 95.9.
I want to thank everybody that I have had the pleasure of working with over the last nearly five years. From our Market President Peter Barry, to our creative and hard-working marketing team, to our, now retired, Operations Manager Todd Lee, to our production leader Eric Greene, to my brother Bob, who put the idea of me being in this position into the ears of those who make the decisions (it was awesome to be his colleague for all of these years) to, of course, my fellow colleagues at Live 95.9, Slater & Marjo. Between the three of us, and I can confidently say this, the radio station has never been better, has never sounded better and has never had a tripod-team like this team has had over the last several years. From where Live 95.9 was in early 2014, to where it has gone since then -- from the broadcasting side and, now, the digital side, is truly incredible.
I also want to thank everyone in the Berkshires who have been a part of this ride, whether you listen every day, for just your car rides to and from work, whether you liked me, or even if you didn't, it all drove me to do the best job I possibly could every single day. I especially want to thank those who made our giveaways, contests and events as special as they were -- from Take Home a Highlander broadcasts (which makes the summers extremely exhausting, but phenomenal), to the big shows we brought into the area, to Mall-I-Day Madness, the Mother & Child Look-A-Like Contests, Deck Your Pet and everything else, without you guys and gals -- our incredible listeners -- they wouldn't be possible.
And lastly, but certainly not least, I want to thank my two favorite people, my two best friends in the entire world, my wife Holly and our son Grayson. You guys are the reason that I wake up and work as hard as I do. You two amazing people are the reason that I have the guts and intestinal fortitude to take a big risk like I am taking. You guys are the reason that I am going to do everything in my power to succeed. Without the two of you by my side, none of this is possible. Words can not describe what your belief, confidence and love mean to me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
It is a bittersweet moment to hit the "publish" button for the final time on this website. As the afternoon radio host, the host of the Throwback Throwdown and the Managing Editor for this site, along with the other four in our market, it has truly been an honor to be on this ride with all of you. As cliche as this may sound, this is not goodbye. This is more of a "I'll see you later."
Speaking of that, I hope to see you all tonight at my final live broadcast with Live 95.9 as we will say goodbye to 2018 at Ken's Bowl in Pittsfield between 7 and 9 p.m. It will be a lot of fun and it would be amazing to see as many of you as possible tonight.
Thank you, Berkshire County -- for everything -- and I hope 2019 is the best year ever for all of you!

Recommended Reads: March
Each month the TWC publishes four recommended reads on our website. Three of the recommendations are recent releases by a local Tasmanian writer, an Australian writer and a children's writer. The fourth is a Tasmanian classic that you may not have got round to reading, or that you may not have read for a long time. If you can't get your hands on a copy of the recommended Tasmanian classic, please feel free to pop into the library at the Tasmanian Writers' Centre and borrow a copy from us.
We would love to hear what you think of our picks – let us know on Twitter or Facebook.
This month we also have a great competition for you. We have copies of Kate Grenville's A Case Against Fragrance, Rebe Taylor's Into the Heart of Tasmania, and Rachel Tribout's The Journey of Admiral Bologanise to give away.
Drop our Community Engagement officer Ruth an email on ruth@taswriters.org with 'March Reading Competition' in the subject line and a note of which book you'd like to win. Winners will be selected at random and notified by email.
Tasmanian recent release: Into The Heart of Tasmania, Rebe Taylor (Melbourne University Press, January 2017)
In 1908 English gentleman Ernest Westlake packed a tent, a bicycle and forty tins of food and sailed to Tasmania. On mountains, beaches and in sheep paddocks he collected over 13,000 Aboriginal stone tools. Westlake believed he had found the remnants of an extinct race whose culture was akin to the most ancient Stone Age Europeans. But in the remotest corners of the island Westlake encountered living Indigenous communities.
Into the Heart of Tasmania tells a story of discovery and realisation. One man's ambition to rewrite the history of human culture inspires an exploration of the controversy stirred by Tasmanian Aboriginal history. It brings to life how Australian and British national identities have been fashioned by shame and triumph over the supposed destruction of an entire race. To reveal the beating heart of Aboriginal Tasmania is to be confronted with a history that has never ended.
Dr Rebe Taylor is a historian specialising in Tasmanian anthropology and archaeology. She first encountered Tasmanian Aboriginal history on a beach on Kangaroo Island, South Australia, hearing stories about the women who had been taken there by sealers. She has been trying to understand the history of Tasmanian Aboriginal diaspora, loss, rediscovery and endurance ever since.
Australian recent release: The Case Against Fragrance, Kate Grenville (Text Publishing, January 2017)
Kate Grenville had always associated perfume with elegance and beauty. Then the headaches started.
Like perhaps a quarter of the population, Grenville reacts badly to the artificial fragrances around us: other people's perfumes, and all those scented cosmetics, cleaning products and air fresheners. On a book tour in 2015, dogged by ill health, she started wondering: what's in fragrance? Who tests it for safety? What does it do to people?
The more Grenville investigated, the more she felt this was a story that should be told. The chemicals in fragrance can be linked not only to short-term problems like headaches and asthma, but to long-term ones like hormone disruption and cancer. Yet products can be released onto the market without testing. They're regulated only by the same people who make and sell them. And the ingredients don't even have to be named on the label.
This book is based on careful research into the science of scent and the power of the fragrance industry. But, as you'd expect from an acclaimed novelist, it's also accessible and personal. The Case Against Fragrance will make you see—and smell—the world differently.
Children's recent release: The Journey of Admiral Bolognaise, Rachel Tribout
The Journey of Admiral Bolognaise joins Monsters of Tasmania as the second book in the Captain Blueberry Series by Tasmanian author and illustrator Rachel Tribout. Made possible through a Pozible campaign , this beautifully designed book follows the adventures of one Admiral Bolognese as he decides to prove that monstrous monsters don't exist…but can he!?
While the first story in the series is in a purely Tasmanian setting. the second ventures further afield (although you still might spot some familiar places!). This is a hugely appealing book for children and adults alike.
Tasmanian classic: Hobart, Peter Timms (NewSouth Books, 2009, updated version 2012)
Acclaimed writer Peter Timms leads us on a journey through his adopted city of Hobart. He reveals a city in transition, shaking off its dark and troubled past to claim its special place in the post-modern world: 'going boutique, nice and slow', as one overseas visitor notes. Timms brings a wealth of fresh insights on everything fromHobart's convict legacy, its spectacular natural setting, heritage architecture and climate, to crime rates, economic hardship, and the 'MONA Effect'. He explores the city with a mixture of affection, admiration, frustration and sadness, interviewing a wide range of residents along the way. Those who have experienced Hobart as tourists will be surprised and intrigued by the lively, complex society this book reveals. Those who live here will surely discover their city anew.

Ship sinks are sinks that sit on top of a department rather than being lowered into or mounted under this. Most often the vessel can be described as round bowl shaped yacht but the basin can be any size or shape. Rather than bowls, square basins happen to be popular. Vessel sinks may be made out of a variety of materials but the most popular are wineglass, stone, or metal. The vessel can sit on the counter or on a base which builds it up more. If you have this kind of drain you need to think carefully about the sinks that you use. They need to be able to get the water up and over the vessel edge and the handles need to be easily accessible. Vessel sinks are trendy and are most of the time seen in homes that include modern design and decorating. You can use a vessel sink in any bathroom that has deal with space.
