TIMMINS – The Timmins Rock were no match for the East Division's second best team Tuesday night at the McIntyre Arena.
From the drop of the puck during the opening face-off to the final buzzer, the Rock seemed to be a half step behind their opponents while dropping a 3-1 decision to the Cochrane Crunch.
What did Rock coach Corey Beer think of his team's effort Tuesday night at the McIntyre Arena?
Perhaps the words of Timmins' own Shania Twain might sum it up best: "That don't impress me much."
Beer had been hoping to see his team snap out of a funk that has seen the Rock go 2-7-1-0 in its past 10 games — despite having a number of injured veterans return to the lineup.
"We were half asleep to start the game," he said.
"We gave them as much information as we could to prep them, but they chose to sleep through it."
Perhaps an even bigger problem was the number — and type — of penalties the Rock took Tuesday night.
"We took too many lazy penalties 200-feet away from our net where there was no threat from the other team to score," Beer said.
"There were stupid hooking, tripping, lazy penalties, and undisciplined ones, too.
"It was a terrible effort from our group tonight."
It wasn't as much that the Rock lost to the Crunch Tuesday night that upset their coach, as it was how badly they played while doing so.
"I have no problem losing to a good Crunch team, as long as we are playing good hockey," Beer said.
"But when you go out and give this kind of an effort in front of our good fans, people who pay money to come and watch us play, it is inexcusable.
"It's a hard league and you have to compete every night. You have to show up on time and we didn't do it tonight."
Despite being outshot 15-5 during the opening 20 minutes, the Rock were only trailing 1-0 heading into the first intermission — thanks to some stellar netminding from Eric Jackson, who returned from a lower-body injury to make his first start since being run over during a Nov. 26 game against the visiting Powassan Voodoos.
Austin Stauffer, with his first of two goals on the night and 24th on the season, gave the Crunch 1-0 lead heading to the dressing room.
"I thought E.J. was great tonight," Beer said.
The Rock finally gave their fans something to cheer about late in the second period when Derek Seguin — playing his first game since suffering a fractured jaw during a game against the Beavers in Blind River on Oct. 26 — scored his sixth goal of the season to tie things up at the 17:58 mark.
It appeared the Rock might have taken a 2-1 lead in the dying seconds of the frame when a shot from just inside the blue-line eluded Crunch goalie Shayne Battler, but time expired just before the puck crossed the goal line.
There was no doubt, however, when the Crunch jumped in front 2-1 at the 9:48 mark of the third on Austin Whelan's seventh goal of the season.
"Eric didn't have much of a chance on that shot," Beer said.
"Our defenceman's gap was 30 feet back, allowing an easy pass through the seam. Our forward didn't backcheck and got on the wrong side of the body. You can't fault E.J. for that."
Stauffer's second of the night and 25th of the season, a power-play marker, with 3:37 remaining in the third period, provided the Crunch with a little insurance and caused an early exit for most of the 628 fans in attendance.
The Rock devised a solid game plan to slow down the Crunch, but unfortunately the execution was lacking.
"We wanted to take away their speed through the neutral zone," Beer said.
"We wanted to limit their inside chances and we wanted to play a little bit tighter defensively down low.
"We didn't do any of that, not once."
While the Rock welcomed back Jackson and Seguin Tuesday night, they lost defenceman James Redmond midway through the first period.
"I think it is a recurrence of the same (upper-body) injury that kept him out before, so he will be out for a while," Beer said.
Redmond had just returned on Dec. 1 from an upper-body injury that aggravated in a game on Nov. 4.
Crunch coach and general manager Ryan Leonard was pleased to see his team final get rewarded for its hard work against the Rock after dropping a 7-5 decision in Timmins on Sept. 19 and suffering a 2-1 double-overtime setback against the Rock in Cochrane on Nov. 10.
"All three games we have played against these guys this year, we have dominated them," he said.
"Finally, we were able to get the monkey off our back. The kid (Jackson) did a really good job holding them in there like he has every time we have played them this year. Finally, we got he bounces we had not been getting against these guys.
"I thought in all three periods we really dominated. They might have had two shifts all night where they were able to put some pressure on us.
"Our speed was a big factor tonight and out defence didn't allow them a lot of opportunities. We have a hard-working, fast-skating team.
"As you could see tonight, we have a lot of systems to our play. We are not just a free-wheeling team like we were in past years. We have a lot of stuff in place."
Leonard was impressed with the contributions he received from every player wearing a Crunch uniform Tuesday night, but he opted to single out a few of them for a little extra praise.
"I thought Eli Hernandez and Gordon Whalen on defence played really solid tonight, as did Connor Lovie," he said.
"Connor Lovie plays a solid game every night.
"I thought some of our forwards really showed some spunk tonight, as well. Laramie Kostelansky made a nice pass to Whelan on our second goal.
"He was in every corner, banging bodies, and the group of (Caleb) Dolman and (Mitchell) Booth killed 20 seconds at a time, keeping the puck in the corners and cycling it.
"We have a lot of good guys, who work hard, and that's the kind of hockey club we have this year. Our fourth line is as good as our first line. That's why we can roll four lines."
The coach was also again impressed by the play of Stauffer, whose 25 goals lead all NOJHL snipers.
"He is not flashy, or a dippsy-doodle kind of player," Leonard said.
"It is all hard work and going to the net. You don't see too many of his goals being scored from the top of the circle, or on dangles or breakaways. They are just dirty-area, in front of the net goals.
"He is leading the league because he knows how to work hard and win battles in the dirty areas."
With their victory, the Crunch (20-10-2-1) pulled to within 10 points of the East Division-leading Voodoos (25-3-1-2) — but Powassan has two games in hand.
Tuesday's loss leaves the Rock (11-19-1-2) all alone in fifth place in the East Division standings — one point behind the Hearst Lumberjacks (12-14-2-0), who have five games in hand, and one point ahead of the French River Rapids (10-19-4-0).
Battler stopped 20 of the 21 shots the Rock fired his way to pick up his 11th win on the season and ninth in a Crunch uniform.
Jackson turned aside 33 of the 36 shots he faced and was tagged with the loss.
NOJHL NOTES — The Daily Press three stars of the game were Stauffer, Lovie and Seguin … The Rock did not dress defencemen Jared Hester (lower-body injury) and Eric Paquette (lower-body injury) and forwards Tyler Planetta (upper-body injury) and Stewart Parnell (upper-body injury) … The Rock were 0-4 on the power play, while the Crunch were 1-8 with the man advantage … The Rock will travel to Kirkland Lake for a game against the Gold Miners Thursday night at the Joe Mavrinac Community Complex. The next Rock home game will be on Saturday night when they host the Espanoa Express at the McIntyre Arena. Game time is set for 7 p.m.

Quinn's 'All About Love' series explores the notion of love and all that it entails. Created in collaboration with his muse, a dancer, each sculpture is a life cast of the pair in different poses, embracing one another. With Quinn and his muse physically bound together during the casting process, the works become a frozen moment in time.
Resonating with numerous chapters throughout the history of art, Quinn's sculptures echo fragmented sculptures of many periods, from the Pieta works of the Renaissance to the plasters of Rodin.
'All About Love' creates a contemporary, almost raw, language in which to talk about love. Made out of fibreglass the works appear delicate, and even eggshell-like, suggesting the fragility of human relationships. Deceptively strong, Quinn's striking series 'All About Love' creates a compelling dialogue between contemporary and classical art.

Eleven die after coal mine collapses in China
6 January 2016	(Last Updated January 6th, 2016 18:30)
Eleven mine workers have been killed after a coal mine collapsed in China's Shaanxi province.
Eleven mine workers have been killed after a coal mine collapsed in China's Shaanxi province.
AP reported Yulin city's propaganda department saying that the miners were believed to be found a day after the Liujiamao coal mine collapsed.
The cause of the incident has yet to be determined. The remaining 49 miners working at the mine ran from the scene when it collapsed.
"Rescue efforts were hampered by a high-concentration of poisonous gas."
Following the accident, rescuers tried to improve ventilation at the mine.
However, the effort was hampered by a high-concentration of poisonous gas at the site.
According to rescuers, the mine collapse occurred due to a cavity that was created by the extraction of coal.
A recent collapse of a gypsum mine in Shandong, China, killed four miners and left 13 missing.

Clemson's loss to Syracuse doesn't matter and 5 other things we learned in the latest playoff ranking
Cork Gaines
Alabama is the new No. 1 team in the College Football Playoff ranking.
The committee is seemingly ignoring Clemson's loss to Syracuse.
As many as seven teams still control their own destinies and Notre Dame fell one spot too far.
There are only three weeks left in the college football regular season and we still don't know who will be in the College Football Playoff.
While upsets can — and probably will — throw a wrench into any projections, as of now, it looks like two of the playoff spots will go to the SEC and ACC champions and two spots will most likely come from a pool of five teams. Another 3-4 teams are still hoping for help to get back in the mix.
On Tuesday night the third playoff ranking was released, with Alabama now on top. Here is what we learned about what the committee was thinking.
1. The committee has seemingly ignored Clemson's loss to Syracuse.
Clemson is ranked second, despite a loss to 4-6 Syracuse, and despite being in the same conference as undefeated Miami. The Hurricanes are coming off back-to-back big wins and are ranked third.
Kirby Hocutt, the College Football Playoff Selection Committee Chair, was a guest on ESPN and described Clemson and Miami as "very similar," suggesting that the two teams might more accurately be described as "2a and 2b." However, Hocutt also said there are reasons to put Clemson ahead of Miami, most notably their wins on the road over ranked teams (Louisville, Virginia Tech, and North Carolina State) and their win over No. 6 Auburn.
"Miami has not faced a winning team on the road yet," Hocutt said.
By focusing solely on the more impressive wins and performance on the road, it seems as if the committee has dismissed Clemson's loss to Syracuse. Of course, the two teams will eventually settle it themselves in the ACC title game, but for now, the committee still believes more in Clemson than undefeated Miami.

2. Wisconsin finally controls their own destiny.
Many debated whether a potentially undefeated Wisconsin might be left out of the playoff. However, their win over Iowa has finally swayed the committee, and Iowa's manhandling of Ohio State the week before seemingly was a factor.
"We were impressed with the win over an Iowa team who defeated Ohio State the week before," Hocutt said.
The Badgers are still behind Oklahoma and on the outside of the top four, ranked fifth. However, if they win out — which would mean adding wins over Michigan and likely Ohio State to their resume — Wisconsin would almost certainly jump ahead of whichever team loses the ACC title game, and possibly Oklahoma.
3. Auburn appears to control their own destiny despite two losses.
Many looked at Auburn as the school that could become the first two-loss team to make the playoff. It seemed like a long shot as they needed two wins over Georgia, including the SEC title game, and a win over Alabama.
But then Auburn blew out Georgia at home and will soon face an Alabama team at home that appears to be Nick Saban's most vulnerable squad in years. That long shot suddenly started to feel possible.
Auburn two losses — both on the road by a total of 12 points to Clemson and LSU — are still a big negative, and they might need to leap-frog multiple one-loss teams. But at this point, if Auburn wins out, it looks like they would jump from No. 6 to No. 4 and past Alabama and the loser of the ACC title game.
4. Georgia may also still control their own destiny despite falling to No. 7.
Georgia's shot at the playoff was certainly hurt by their 40-17 drubbing at the hands of Auburn. Late-season blowouts are usually a death card. But their path back into the playoff is almost identical to the road Auburn faces.
If Georgia wins out, they would add a win against, and leap-frog over, either Alabama or Auburn in the SEC title game. The other would have already fallen when those two teams play each other. That means Georgia would need only leap-frog over the loser of the ACC title game to get back into the top four.
5. Notre Dame fell one spot too many.
There is a case to be made for Notre Dame jumping back in to the playoff mix despite their blowout loss to Miami. But that case would have been easier from the seventh spot in the ranking. Instead, the Irish fell to No. 8.
There is a realistic chance of Georgia and Auburn both losing another game and Notre Dame could jump ahead of them. But after that, they would likely need multiple upsets to get back into the top four.
What hurts the Irish the most is the lack of a conference championship game. While most of the top teams have an extra shot at adding an impressive win, Notre Dame will not, and they are the one team that might need it the most.
6. We can ignore the other two-loss teams for now.
Teams like Ohio State (No. 9), Penn State (No. 10), USC (No. 11), and TCU (No. 12) are all still on life-support for now. If upsets happen in front of them and any of these teams win their conference championship, they will be part of the conversation. But for now, they are just too far back and there are two-loss teams with more compelling arguments.

Vice-Admiral of the Red was a senior rank of the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom, immediately outranked by the rank admiral of the Blue (see order of precedence below). Royal Navy officers currently holding the ranks of commodore, rear admiral, vice admiral and admiral of the fleet are sometimes considered generically to be admirals. From 1688 to 1805 this rank was in order of precedence fourth; after 1805 it was the fifth. In 1864 it was abolished as a promotional rank. (pictured opposite is the command flag for a vice-admiral of the Red).

History
The Royal Navy inaugurated squadron colours during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603) to subdivide the English fleet into three squadrons. There were three classes of admirals and differentiated by using coloured flags. In 1620 the official flag ranks of Admiral, Vice Admiral, and Rear Admiral were legally established that arose directly out of the organisation of the fleet into three parts. The rank of Admiral of the Fleet was formally introduced in 1688.

The Vice-Admiral of the Red was a senior rank of the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom, immediately outranked by the rank Admiral of the Blue (see order of precedence below). Royal Navy officers currently holding the ranks of commodore, rear admiral, vice admiral and admiral of the fleet are sometimes considered generically to be admirals.  From 1688 to 1805 this rank was in order of precedence fourth; after 1805 it was the fifth. In 1864 it was abolished as a promotional rank.

Order of precedence Admirals of the Colour
The Navy was divided into three squadrons Red, White and Blue in order of seniority. Admirals were appointed to these squadrons and therefore their rank and squadron split the seniority originally into 9 bands then later 10 with 'Admiral of the Fleet' as senior to all others.

Seniority was therefore from 1805 to 1864:
 Admiral of the Fleet
 Admiral of the Red squadron (rank created in 1805)
 Admiral of the White squadron
 Admiral of the Blue squadron
 Vice-admiral of the Red squadron
 Vice-admiral of the White squadron
 Vice-admiral of the Blue squadron
 Rear-admiral of the Red squadron
 Rear-admiral of the White squadron
 Rear-admiral of the Blue squadron

Seniority was therefore from 1688 to 1805:

 Admiral of the Fleet, (rank created in 1688)
 Admiral of the White squadron
 Admiral of the Blue squadron
 Vice-admiral of the Red squadron
 Vice-admiral of the White squadron
 Vice-admiral of the Blue squadron
 Rear-admiral of the Red squadron
 Rear-admiral of the White squadron
 Rear-admiral of the Blue squadron

Admirals without an appointment were colloquially referred to as Yellow admirals. Ships of the Royal Navy flew the Ensign that coincided with the squadron of their commanding officer.

Overweight St Albans patients must slim for surgery
VERY overweight patients in the St Albans district will have to lose weight before they can be listed for non-urgent surgery.
GPs who are part of the new Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group which includes those in St Albans, Harpenden and the villages, have decided that for health reasons they will not list patients for routine surgery until they have lost weight.
The commissioning group is believed to be the first in the country to take such a step.
Dr Nicholas Small, chair of the commissioning group which will become responsible for contracting health services on behalf of local people when primary care trusts are abolished in April 2013, explained: "There are a number of things that contribute to the success of a procedure carried out under anaesthetic. An important one of these is to be a healthy weight and another is to be a non smoker.
"There is always a risk when patients are given an anaesthetic but there is strong clinical evidence that proves that this risk is significantly higher whey they are overweight and if they smoke.
"These patients are much more likely to suffer serious breathing problems, get infections, have heart, kidney and lung complications.
"It also takes them longer to recover and they have a higher risk of dying under anaesthetic.
"So for these health reasons GPs in this area will not list patients for routine surgery until they have lost weight."
Dr Small said a relatively small weight loss could reduce the risks of surgery quite dramatically but in the long term, the more weight people lost would reduce the risk of contracting serious conditions ranging from diabetes, heart disease and strokes to cancer and liver problems.
He also pointed out that being overweight had a significant effect on life expectancy with severely obese people likely to die an average of 11 years earlier than those with a healthy weight.
He added: "These measures are for people who need routine (planned) surgery only. They do not apply when people need urgent or emergency surgery such as to treat cancer. There will also be times when it will be appropriate to offer surgery to a patient without following these measures."
As well as requiring patients to lose weight before routine surgery, GPs will also ask smokers to attend an appointment with a specialist stop smoking adviser who will explain the support that is available to help them quit.
The specialist will make sure that the patient is fully aware of all the benefits of becoming a non-smoker and the particular risks that surgery presents for people who smoke.

Genuine OEM Konica-Minolta Toner Cartridge, Black, 91,000 page yield. Konica-Minolta part number: A1DY130, TN615 Black. Laser Toner Cartridge compatible with Konica-Minolta bizhub PRESS C8000.
The Konica-Minolta bizhub PRESS C8000 is a digital color laser press printer designed for high-volume output. It can output an impressive 80 pages per minute, but it also includes a large amount of customization through optional upgrades. Its 1200 dpi output resolution is enhanced to a 3600 dpi equivalent for excellent quality. Prices for Konica-Minolta C8000 printer toner supplies are a bit high, but yields are high as well, keeping the cost per page reasonable.
The C8000 is built for high-volume printing in a production environment, and it shows in its bulky frame. Even in its basic configuration, it measures 71.3x37.5x52 inches, consuming a massive amount of space. It also weighs a hefty 992 pounds, including the bizhub PRESS C8000 toner supplies and all consumables. It can be configured with a separate controller that is essentially a mini-computer, and also includes a Gigabit ethernet connection.
It might be surprising for some buyers that the paper capacity starts out at only 1,500 sheets, divided between three 500-sheet trays. It can be expanded to a massive total capacity of 10,760 sheets, of course, and the larger paper feeders even include a built-in dehumidifier to keep pages from sticking during storage.
It is likely no surprise that such an expensive machine would also have fairly expensive toners, but Konica-Minolta C8000 toner cartridges do have large yields to make replacement less frequent. Each color bizhub PRESS C8000 toner cartridge has an estimated yield of 60,000 pages, while the black supply has a yield of 91,000 pages. These yields ensure that the cost per page of Konica-Minolta C8000 toner remains affordable.
Not many buyers will have the budget or the available space to accommodate the Konica-Minolta C8000, but not many will have the need for such high-volume operations. Those who do, however, will find its customization, fast speeds, and inexpensive supplies to be essential to their workload.

PETA defends Kylie Jenner's polarizing lion head dress
By John Herring Last updated Jan 24, 2023
Relax folks, it's faux.
While Kylie Jenner's wild look for Monday's Schiaparelli Haute Couture show — a black velvet gown topped with a giant, lifelike lion head — might've seemed to be PETA's worst nightmare at first glance, the animal rights organization is totally on board.
In a statement shared with Page Six Style, PETA President Ingrid Newkirk hailed the Schiaparelli collection's "three-dimensional animal heads," none of which incorporated real fur or leather, as "fabulously innovative."
"Kylie, Naomi and Irina's looks celebrate the beauty of wild animals and may be a statement against trophy hunting, in which lions and wolves are torn apart to satisfy human egotism," Newkirk said.
Kylie Jenner took a walk on the wild side at the Schiaparelli Haute Couture show Monday.

In addition to a version of Jenner's lion-inspired look, Schiaparelli's spring 2023 couture collection also included outfits with realistic leopard and wolf heads modeled by Shalom Harlow and Naomi Campbell, respectively — a nod to the three beasts in Dante's "Inferno."
"We encourage everyone to stick with 100% cruelty-free designs that showcase human ingenuity and prevent animal suffering," Newkirk concluded, urging Jenner and her fellow stars to "extend this creativity to exclude sheep shorn bloody for wool and silkworms boiled alive in their cocoons."
Schiaparelli's spring 2023 couture show included three looks featuring the lifelike animal heads, which were modeled by Irina Shayk, Naomi Campbell and Shalom Harlow.
While Jenner, 25, made sure to specify that the lion head was "faux" and "manmade" in her Instagram post showing off the outfit, that didn't stop commenters from criticizing the couture creation en masse.
"Animals are not trophies," one wrote, while another added, "As an African I'm extremely offended. The implication is quite disturbing."
Others described the ensemble as "a scary sight," "terrible," "ridiculous" and "wrong wrong wrong."
Schiaparelli said the animal heads were made from "hand-sculpted foam [and] wool and silk faux fur, and hand painted to look as life-like as possible, celebrating the glory of the natural world."
In a pair of Instagram posts on the fashion house's account, Schiaparelli defended its designs amid the uproar, noting that the animal heads featured in the show were crafted from "hand-sculpted foam [and] wool and silk faux fur, and hand painted to look as life-like as possible, celebrating the glory of the natural world."
Both captions ended with the same all-caps disclaimer: "NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN MAKING THIS LOOK."

S.C. county that named Barrow manager finalist reopens search
in Top Stories & Breaking News
Wednesday, February 27. 2019
The county in upstate South Carolina that named Barrow County manager Mike Renshaw as one of three finalists for its open administrator position last fall has reopened its search.
Oconee County, whose county seat is Walhalla, reposted the position last week and plans to conduct a nationwide search to replace the former administrator there after the county council failed to agree on a selection from the previous pool of finalists, according to local media reports.
Renshaw and two other officials from counties in South Carolina were announced as finalists in October.
A vote was initially scheduled to be held in November, but at the meeting it was scheduled for, the council delayed a vote following a lengthy closed session. According to a local radio station, the county attorney advised the council to hold off on a selection until an election was held to replace the council's outgoing chair.
The council appointed a longtime executive assistant in the county administrator's office to be the interim county administrator last month.
The new advertisement lists the salary range for the position at $150,000-$204,000.
Renshaw's salary in Barrow County is a little over $120,000.
Renshaw was also one of five finalists last summer for the top administrative job in Green Cove Springs, Fla., near Jacksonville, but was not selected.
He has been with Barrow County since May 2016 and had previous chief administrative positions in Camden, N.C. and Grantville, southwest of Atlanta.

The fatal police shooting of Charleena Lyles cries out for body cameras. But 7 years on, we still don't have them.

Seattle was one of the first cities in the nation to push for body cameras for police. But we'll be one of the last to get them.
Seattle understandably wants answers about the fatal shooting of a black mother, by police, in her apartment last weekend. But it's already pretty clear: Seattle isn't going to get them.
Yes there will be a months-long investigation of whether two officers were warranted in shooting 30-year-old Charleena Lyles, who they say was armed with two knives. There may be a King County inquest after that. The process could last a year or more.
But in a case that may have no further witnesses, we'll likely never know what happened in the apartment that Sunday morning, beyond what the police tell us.
Why not? Because unlike cops in thousands of other cities and towns, ours don't wear body cameras. So there was no possibility of capturing a video account of whether Lyles advanced on the officers.

Seven years on, and Seattle still doesn't have police body cameras | Danny Westneat
Seattle was one of the first cities in the nation to propose using the cameras, seven years ago. That was prompted by the horrific police shooting of woodcarver John T. Williams. The man who pushed the idea then, City Councilmember Bruce Harrell, said Tuesday he can't believe we're going through another round of this terrible story, blind once again.
"I'm beyond frustrated," Harrell told me. "We have another life taken. We have a city imploding because they want answers.
"But instead, we sit here as a city of incredible innovation and resources that is somehow unable to deploy what has become an off-the-shelf technology in hundreds of other cities. To say I'm frustrated is an understatement."
There is $2.3 million in the city budget this year to outfit officers with cameras, pushed by Harrell. But approval is hung up in contract bargaining with the police union, which has been locked in a dispute with the city about broader police-accountability reforms since its last contract expired in 2014.
Since Harrell first proposed body cameras in 2010, the idea has been nitpicked by virtually everyone who came into contact with it — often for well-meaning reasons. Concerns ranged from the cost to the privacy rights of citizens caught on video to whether officers should be given control of when taping begins.
Activists with increasing influence at City Hall also began questioning whether the cameras would counterintuitively grant police more power.
"This conversation about bodycams is a complete and utter farce," Marissa Johnson, of Black Lives Matter, told a citizens commission on policing two years ago. "Why do I need a home video of my abuse that's going to be filmed by my oppressor?"
The bottom line is we ended up Seattleing the topic. We debated, negotiated, discussed, workshopped. We never got around to doing.
"My argument for years now has been we don't need one more tragedy while we try to get these camera policies perfect," Harrell said. "Yet here we are."
The cameras are no panacea. There have been cases in other cities where the video was inconclusive, or, worse, wasn't rolling at a key moment. Plus no video, no matter how graphic, guarantees a conviction — as the Philando Castile traffic-stop shooting case in Minnesota shows.
But in other cases bodycam footage is having an impact. Last month in Texas, police shot and killed a black teenager in a car an officer said was driving aggressively toward him. Bodycam video showed the car actually was driving away. The officer has since been charged with murder, which is unheard of in Texas. If he's convicted, he would be the first police officer found guilty of that crime there in 47 years.
The Charleena Lyles case is not likely to get much clearer, beyond what we already know. The audio indicates she became hostile, telling the officers "get ready, mother — " as they ordered her repeatedly to "get back." One officer says, before shots are fired, that she has "two knives."
All of that seems to support the officers' general account. While on the other side there are legitimate questions about whether they could have retreated or defused the situation short of shooting and killing her.
Get ready to not know the answers.
"What pains me is now everyone is having this vital debate, about policing and race and use of force, but it's in a vacuum of solid information," Harrell said.
A vacuum of our own making.

[#Promiseconsulting] [#opinionlab] The French-Russian relations: 74% of French want to "break the ice"
THE FRENCH-RUSSIAN RELATIONS: WHAT DO THE FRENCH THINK?
At a time when the government of President Macron wishes a warming of relations between France and Russia, an exclusive survey to know the opinion of the French about their vast "neighbor."
Survey realized online and on mobile between the 26th August and the 02nd September 2019 on 1,000 French, aged 18 years and more and representative of the French population.
Promise Consulting, a consulting firm, and Panel On The Web, a market research institute, surveyed an online panel to gauge French opinion about Russia (the country, the people, the culture, and the political system). The following objectives were assigned to the opinion survey before a press release on French-Russian relations and opportunities for in-depth political, cultural, and economic collaboration.
- To assess the proximity or distance of the French to Russia, and the reasons why they feel close to or far from Russia.
- To evaluate the French opinion on the relations between Europe and Russia, on the European sanctions and the subsequent Russian embargo on European food products, in the wake of the events in Crimea.
- To assess the French opinion on the relations between France and Russia: state of play and desired areas for improvement.
The opinion poll was conducted in the wake of G7 Biarritz summit, marked by the previous meeting between the Presidents Emmanuel Macron and Vladimir Putin at the residence of Brégançon. The main results are analyzed below.

THE EXPERTS' POINT OF VIEW
Philippe Jourdan and Jean-Claude Pacitto, the authors of the study, give here their testimony and analysis on the main lessons of the survey. If the French seem to stand at a certain distance from Russia, the majority wishes to maintain good relations between our two countries, and fiercely hope they improve in many areas
Russia wakes lively debates in the media, fed by alarming international news. However, the opinion of the French people about Russia is much less known. How do our citizens perceive Russia? How do they apprehend current and future French-Russian relations, in the context of diplomatic warming desired by the two Presidents, Macron and Putin?
RUSSIA, A EUROPEAN COUNTRY: A DISPUTED ISSUE
Is Russia for the French a European State? Do the French people share the Gaullist vision of a Europe stretching from the "Atlantic to the Urals"? The opinion is almost equally shared: 39% consider that Russia is not a European state against 37% who think the opposite, perfect illustration of the allegory of the two-headed Russian eagle, a head turned towards the West, another to the East. The reasons given are not of the same nature: those who answered "yes" emphasize geographical, historical, and cultural proximity, while those who answered "no" mobilize political antagonisms (between our regimes). These political arguments (suspected lack of freedom, autocratic government, …) transcend the political affinities.
EUROPEAN SANCTIONS AND RUSSIAN EMBARGO: POORLY KNOWN DECISIONS
While most of the French people are aware of the European economic sanctions (and their counterpart, the Russian embargo on European food products), they are still 4 out of 10 (41%) to ignore their existence and their purpose. Those who ignore the most of these sanctions are the sympathizers of the radical left "France Insoumise" (LFI). At the same time, the LFI sympathizers are also the most numerous to consider Russia as a "threat" (51%). The expressed fear strongly embodied (if not fantasized) around the personality of Vladimir Putin (91%), contrasts with a lack of knowledge of the facts likely to objectify it. The same conclusion applies to a lesser extent to the other political currents.
In the end, only 28% of the French people are strongly convinced of the worthiness of the European economic sanctions, and it is the sympathizers of the moderate right ("Les Républicains") who are the most dubious (51%).
FRENCH-RUSSIAN RELATIONS: FRANCE CAN DO BETTER
Historically, Russia has always been the subject of fierce debates and aroused contrasting opinions from our fellow citizens, ranging from frank admiration to equally sincere distrust. Our survey shows that if the views are opposed, following the political affinities, a vast majority of the French people (74%) crave an improvement of the French-Russian relations. French people emphasize the importance of those relations for our country (94%), of which they deplore the relative freezing (40%). The French, predisposed to the "realpolitik," judge that Russia has become (again) an essential actor in foreign policy, is an unescapable arbitrator of many conflicts (Syria, Ukraine, Middle East,…) or hot topics The French, followers of the "realpolitik", are of the opinion that Russia has become (become again) an essential actor in foreign policy with a rank of actor and arbitrator on many conflicts (Syria, Ukraine, Middle East) or "hot" issues (climate, economy, immigration, European construction), and that France must take this into account.
THE FUTURE OF THE FRENCH-RUSSIAN COOPERATION: A MOBILIZING ISSUE
The French-Russian cooperation, which involves improving the relations between the two states, is a subject that mobilizes the French: only 6% of them think that the quality of the relationship between the two countries is not essential for France.
Supporters of a positive dynamic are more likely to be recruited from LREM ("La République en Marche") (56%) and LR ("Les Républicains") (55%), and not, contrary to a view too often held, from radical-wing supporters ("Rassemblement National") (44%). Once again, our opinion survey reveals an odd paradox: radical left-wing supporters (LFI, "La France Insoumise") are more numerous to think that Russia is a threat (51% vs. 44% of the population), but at the same time, they are also more likely to want that French-Russian relationship improves (94%). This result is essential, which reveals that opinion is not fixed and that it is likely to change quickly. The context, linked to recent international events, weights easily on the French judgment about Russia. In the future, it can be assumed that the divisions will fade, as the conflicts that have generated them (Syria, Ukraine, Crimea) will decrease in intensity on the ground, and consequently in the media.
The potential for improving French-Russian relations is high and multi-faceted: the French prioritize environmental issues, humanitarian cooperation, bilateral foreign policy, and economic contracts, because of results deemed unsatisfactory in these areas. However, most cultural matters (university exchanges, scientific collaboration, tourism, and artistic exchanges) can also be improved.

How do I change my Recommendation Box Placement?
You can change the Recommendation Box placement in the Personalizer admin panel's Box Designer.
Step 1: Navigate in the site preview to the page you would like to change the placement of the boxes.
Step 2: Click on the Page Setting (the changes will apply to all the recommendation boxes that is in that page) or the specific recommendation box that you would like to change the placement of.
Step 3: Click on Advanced. You will see 3 fields: Placement Sibling, Placement Disposition and CSS Classes.
The placement sibling is the section of your web page that the recommendation box will be placed above of. Websites are divided into sections such as div.class, section.class and id. Follow these steps to find the placement sibling you desire.
The placement disposition is the relative position of the recommendation box in relation to the placement sibling you identified.

Francos Sentence Examples
The authorities for the Crusades have been collected in Bongars, Gesta Dei per Francos (Hanover, 1611) (incomplete); Michaud, Bibliotheque des croisades (Paris, 1829) (containing translations of select passages in the authorities); the Recueil des historiens des croisades, published by the Academie des Inscriptions (Paris, 1841 onwards) (the best general collection, containing many of the Latin, Greek, Arabic and Armenian authorities, and also the text of the assizes; but sometimes poorly edited and still .incomplete); and the publications of the Societe de l'Orient Latin (founded in 1875), especially the Archives, of which two volumes were published in 1881 and 1884, and the volumes of the Revue, published yearly from 1893 to 1902, and containing not only new texts, but articles and reviews of books which are of great service.
He collected the works of several French writers who as contemporaries described the crusades, and published them under the title Gesta Dei per Francos (Hanover, 1611).
The famous description of the crusades, gesta Dei per Francos, was evidently to Villehardouin a plain matter-of-fact description, and it no more occurred to him to doubt the divine favour being extended to the expeditions against Alexius or Theodore than to doubt that it was shown to expeditions against Saracens and Turks.

Il biolago è un bacino ornamentale e balneabile d'acqua dolce, integrato perfettamente con l'ecosistema circostante.

Con il termine biolago (o ecolago o laghetto balneabile) si intendono specchi d'acqua artificiali in cui la depurazione non avviene con sistemi artificiali e tradizionali di trattamento delle acque, ma attraverso l'impiego di elementi naturali, principalmente piante e ghiaia, in grado di rendere le acque balneabili. Tale tipo di depurazione, anche detta "fitodepurazione", evita l'utilizzo di preparati chimici come il cloro e, di conseguenza, evita lo sversamento di tali sostanze inquinanti nei sistemi fognari o nei terreni circostanti.

Quando il biolago presenta la forma di una piscina tradizionale, ma con la differenza che il trattamento dell'acqua avviene per fitodepurazione, si parla più propriamente di biopiscina o ecopiscina.

Descrizione
La progettazione di un biolago richiede particolare attenzione, prima di tutto nella disposizione dell'area da dedicare alla depurazione vera e propria, inibita alla balneazione, e dell'area in cui poter effettuare i bagni.

Solitamente l'area di fitodepurazione viene posta leggermente più in alto dell'area balneabile in modo tale che l'acqua, attraversando la zona nella quale vengono inserite piante e ghiaia, si depuri e, cadendo, giunga all'area balneabile.

Vantaggi
I biolaghi si caratterizzano per la loro capacità di inserirsi in contesti naturali offrendo possibilità di ristoro completamente compatibili con la natura e il paesaggio circostante e riducendo al minimo l'impatto ambientale di questo tipo di attività umane.
L'acqua, inoltre, viene continuamente rimandata dall'area balneabile a quella di depurazione riducendo in questo modo la necessità idrica e l'emungimento dalle falde o dall'acquedotto.

Altra caratteristica importante di un biolago o di una biopiscina rispetto ad una piscina tradizionale è associato alla mancanza di trattamento con cloro, che rende l'acqua meno aggressiva per la pelle e quindi adatta a persone con ipersensibilità cutanea o con particolari problemi dermatologici (ad esempio soggetti affetti da psoriasi).

Applicazioni
I biolaghi si stanno affermando in particolare in contesti quali case di campagna, agriturismi e bed and breakfast e in tutte quelle realtà che introducono scelte ecosostenibili per ridurre l'impronta ecologica delle attività umane.

Elly is thinking big for La Roux
IT HAS been a year to remember for Elly Jackson and her musical partner Ben Langmaid.
The latest on shopping, restaurant news and more
As electro duo La Roux they have sold more than a million singles and albums, with self-titled debut long-player only deprived of the UK top spot in June by Michael Jackson.
A number of award nominations and sold out shows around the globe cemented their reputation as one of THE acts of 2009.
''The highs were being nominated for the Mercury Prize and playing some amazing gigs at festivals,'' says 21-year-old Elly. ''We did some really great ones in Australia which were the band's high points live-wise of the year.''
Now back in Blighty, La Roux play Birmingham's O2 Academy next Wednesday. It's sold out but Elly admits she is less comfortable performing in smaller venues.
''I definitely prefer playing bigger gigs. Smaller gigs are a lot more intense and you feel a lot more watched, even if there are less people. You're very close to them.
''I think there's something nice about small venues, but I definitely prefer playing to large audiences. It's easier to get into character and to perform and you've got more stage to use.
''The more people you perform to, it's more affirming.
"It's more reassuring because you know that, if that many people are coming to see you, you know you're doing something right.''
Had the King Of Pop not passed away the week before the release of La Roux's album, it would have hit the top spot.
"We were taken aback by that success," says Elly, daughter of former The Bill actress Trudie Goodwin. "We didn't expect the single In For The Kill to do quite that well, that quickly, even more so with the album."
Elly and Ben met via a mutual friend "about five years ago" and began recording her folk songs, which reflected her parents' love of the likes of Nick Drake, Carole King and Neil Young.
After trying, and failing, with that, they went back to the drawing board, put away their acoustic guitars and plugged in the synths.

Static Shock Comes To The Big Screen
Michael Davis writes,
I'm so happy I can hardly breath!
Static Shock! The character created by Denys Cowan, Derek Dingle, Christopher Priest, Dwayne McDuffie and myself is on its way the big screen!!
Soon and I mean VERY SOON, Virgil, Richie and Sharon will be given their long overdo due on the big screen! I'm ecstatic, delighted, and blissful that finally my friends and family will be able to sit down in a theater and rejoice in the wonder that is Static Shock!
Sookie, Sookie, NOW!!!
Err, white people ask somebody.
Get on the GOOD FOOT!
Perhaps it's best you have a Black person read this to y'all.
I need to testify!
Yeah, that would be best.
Look, just call Leroy and stop punishing yourself.
I'M KING OF THE WORLD!!!!
That one you should have no problem with. Think big boat, Leo & Kate.
Man oh, man, I still can't believe Static Shock will FINALLY coming to the big screen.
I just got off the phone with Rich Johnston and I was happy to do an interview with Rich! Here's an excerpt:
Bleeding Cool: Where were you when you found out Static would soon be on the big screen?
Davis: I was at Walmart of all places.
Bleeding Cool: What did you think?
Davis: I thought, "This is a great day!"
Bleeding Cool: Have you talked to the other Milestone founders?
Davis: Why the hell should I?
Bleeding Cool: I would think a Static Shock movie would be something the founders would want to celebrate together.
Davis: Rich, I don't know what excites you guys in London but it's not that big a deal.
Bleeding Cool: Not that big a deal? This is major entertainment news!
Davis: Rich, I just brought an 80-inch flat screen and as soon as it's hooked up, Static Shock will be all over my home theater. That's a big deal to me but it doesn't warrant a call to Denys or Derek…wait a sec…did you think I meant a movie release in theaters?
BHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I'm… sorry…snicker… but… snicker … that…Bah… that…BHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I'm not sure but I could have sworn I heard; "Goddamn Davis! If only he didn't have those photos he'd never write for Bleeding Cool again!"
Then he hung up.
Come on people, a Static Shock movie? That makes no sense!
Why on earth would anyone want to do a movie or live action television show on one of the most popular animated shows EVER?
Don't be silly people. I mean just because today, (well as of this writing, THAT today, lord knows when I will or if I will finish this. It's only by the grace of Go..Rich, I still have a forum here and after my 'interview' that's not looking so secure. Yeah, I've had a rough year but a weekly article every now and whenever? That can't last much longer.
Haters! Try and contain yourselves!
But I digress. Checks in the mail Mr. David.
I ask again, why on earth would you want to take the most successful Black superhero in the DCU and make a movie out of it? Why just today, (maybe) Entertainment Weekly named Static Shock one of be best-animated shows ever from a comic book.
Is you stupid?
That makes no sense when you can make Superman Icon Black. Batman, Black the Flash's wife Iris, Black, Spider-Man half Black, Captain America, all Black, The Avenger's very Black. It makes NO sense what so ever!
I ask yet again, is you stupid?
Why make a movie when could simply colorize the movies made out of all the above? Duh. Shit we have plenty of great Black superhero movie which all made mucho bucks! In the thousands and thousands of dollars!! Who can forget the GREAT Blank Man? Solo? *Meteor Man? Shit! Don't forget Warner Brothers and DC did the DADDY of all Black superhero movies.
How could anyone forget Steel?
I can't and lord knows I've tried but that film is engrained in my mind. Shaq's a friend and I remember the very day he asked me what I thought of the movie. I was so moved by that picture my answer was to start weeping like a little girl. A little girl remembering the day I saw my best friend, my puppy purposely run over by my beloved daddy.
I know, I know, there are millions of Static fans; in fact the 'movie' poster running with this article is an example of fans making their own Static Shock films. There are dozens maybe hundreds perhaps thousands of fan films out there.
If you go to https:/twitter.com/ReviveStatic you will see another in a long line of fan attempts to see Static made into a TV show or film. That's just silly! I mean why not continue to make movies like the one about the Black Superman (Steel…sniffle) where Steel (the Black Superman, sniffle), sorry I need a moment…
Like I was saying; why not continue to make movies like the one about the Black Superman (you know the one) where the Black Superman doesn't even get to wear the 'S'?
Now that's the way to use the old Hollywood noddle!
Also, who needs a movie about a hip young mega successful Black superhero that already has a MASSIVE fan base? Nobody obviously, not when you can make fantastic superhero TV shows where nobody's really a superhero or wearing a costume?
Well, the TV's on the wall, the popcorn is ready and the lights are out.
It also seems the lights are out at Warner Bros but after a long day of developing Green Lantern 2: The Rise Of John Stewart they deserve a good nights sleep.
Or maybe they've had enough sleep. They've been sleeping on Static for over 20 years.

When I first started going to 12-step meetings like AA or NA, the last thing I was worried about was talking to people. As a vendor for a sales and marketing firm, I talk to people all day long, and I talk them into buying stuff all day long. Talking about my alcoholism?
So there I was at my very first meeting listening to the others and patiently waiting for what I thought would be the right time for the newbie to speak. But the moment never came.
At first, it just didn't feel right, but then I started feeling nervous, and I didn't know why. The meeting ended without my uttering a single word. And I felt like an abject failure. What was wrong with me?
Meeting after meeting, I went there with every intention of participating, but instead, I would go numb. It was like my brain was frozen, and the only thing it could process was self-doubt. What if I said something that gave people a bad impression of me? What if I just sounded stupid?
It wasn't an easy thing to do at first. I hadn't spent any real quality time with my feelings for almost as long as I could remember. I drank throughout my entire adolescence and spent the last 20 years telling clients whatever would make them agree they needed to continue buying my product.
Sharing from my heart? I wasn't sure I even knew what was in there.
I decided to try writing down what I was feeling. I had done something similar when I first started selling. As I got to know my clients, I made notes about what made them tick, how they felt about their jobs, and what they wanted from their vendors. I realized that if I could apply that system to myself, I might be able to bring out what was buried in my heart.
I made it a point to journal every day. Soon, I found myself jotting things down several times a day. I quickly learned that I had a lot of feelings stuffed down deeply into my heart and that writing things down took some of the pressure off.
Getting in touch with my feelings made me a better listener, too, and I began to get a lot more out of what other members chose to share. I realized that I could relate to so many things, and it was inspiring, a gift. That's when I started hearing my heart speak, and I knew it was time to give back to this amazing group of people.
Getting out of my head and into my heart has given me the opportunity to share the road of recovery, and my journey has become so rewarding as a result.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! In the spirit of celebration, I'm so excited to share that you can now shop Joy's charming new Oh Joy! for Target party collection!
Joy came up with the idea when she was trying to plan her sweet daughter Ruby's birthday party and found that it was impossible to find cute party supplies and decor that felt handmade and special, but that didn't cost a fortune. As someone who hosts a lot of parties, I can attest to that. I am so jazzed for this collection and plan to use it for my next soiree, coming soon to a pool near you (stay tuned!).
Here are a few of my favorites from the Oh Joy! for Target collection plus party pics from the indoor garden party launch party, where you can see these pretty pieces come to life.
You can shop the Oh Joy! for Target collection here.
Congratulations Joy!! It's a great collection!
