Few organizations have been featured in more Hollywood movies over a longer period of time than the Texas Rangers. The "men in the white hats" first appeared in theaters in 1910 and continue to do so in the 21st century. During 70+ of the last 100 years at least one movie was released featuring an actor as a Texas Ranger.
It may never be possible to present a complete list of Texas Ranger films because of the deterioration and destruction of early movies. The Film Foundation estimates that 80% of films made from 1897 to 1930 are now lost.
Films listed below are feature-length movies, "shorts" (such as early movie serials) or stand-alone made-for-TV movies. Individual television appearances are listed with season and episode. These are fictional characters and do not include appearances in docu-drama, reality TV, interviews, etc.
Detailed information about each film on the list below is available from the Internet Movie Database. Please e-mail us if you know of a film we have missed, and we will add it to the list.
» 1943 was the high point of Texas Ranger themed movies with seventeen films incorporating Texas Ranger characters.
» When Texas celebrated its Centennial in 1936, Hollywood responded with a movie featuring — the Texas Rangers.
* Zane Grey's Lone Star Ranger was made in 1919 and re-made in 1923, 1930 and 1942.
* Grey's Riders of the Purple Sage premiered in 1918 and was re-made in 1925, 1931, 1941 and 1996.
* Grey's Last of the Duanes premiered in 1919 and was re-made in 1924, 1930 and 1941.
* Movies with the title of The Fighting Ranger were made in 1925, 1926, 1934 and 1948.
» Actors who have played Texas Rangers over the last century include John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Robert Duvall, Kevin Costner, Glen Campbell, Tom Mix, Dylan McDermott, Willie Nelson, Tex Ritter, Chuck Norris, Gene Autry, the Our Gang kids, Bill Elliott, George O'Brien, Roy Rogers, Clayton Moore, Audie Murphy, Nick Nolte, Tim McCoy, Tommy Lee Jones, Kelly McGillis, Richard Widmark, Sam Jones, William Holden, William Hurt, and many others.

What does Google's Fred update mean for my business?
As we've covered in previous blog posts, Google have a habit of sneaking out updates to their search engine fairly regularly. Sometimes these tweaks are obvious, sometimes less so. It's very rare that these updates are formally acknowledged by Google. In March 2017, after members of the SEO community noticed some big traffic drops on certain websites, Google's Garry Illyes was questioned via Twitter and jokingly replied that any update should be referred to as 'Fred'.
That name seems to have stuck. Since then there have been a fair few blogs popping up with SEOs speculating on exactly what the update did and what it means for businesses. Now that the dust has settled we thought it was time to take a moment to review the consensus about the Fred update and let you if there's anything you need to do.
The general conclusion from those who have analysed the Fred update falls into two parts. The first is that it targeted sites which were had large amount of advertising on them. Specifically this refers to sites which had a high proportion of Ad Sense advertising on their pages. Using Ad Sense advertising is a means for website owners to generate income by integrating advertising into their pages, achieving valuable impressions and clicks for the companies who appear there. With the Fred update, Google appears to have reduced the rankings of sites which use lots of these ads in a way that affects the experience of users visiting the site. This isn't exactly surprising, good user experience has always been favoured by Google and responsible SEOs, so they're basically just repeating and reinforcing that message.
The other conclusion many have come to is that the update targeted sites full of low value content. What do we mean by this? Low value content would be endless articles filled with keywords, offering very little helpful information that could genuinely address a user's search query. This type of content would typically go hand in hand with the ad heavy sites targeted by the update. Sites like this would use their keyword stuffed content like a monstrous fishing net to catch as many web surfers as possible, then present them with a page full of ads to generate revenue whilst providing little of value to the user. Not hard to understand why Google wouldn't want to put sites that like at the top of its results pages, is it?
What should I do about Google's Fred algorithm update?
If you have an ad supported blog separate to your website, it may have suffered. This includes build-your-own services such as Blogger and Tumblr. How do you remedy this? We've always stressed the importance of having all of your content in one place. Using your primary website as your blog platform offers the most compelling SEO benefits and provides a means for your site to grow into the kind of useful resource that Google wants to display prominently in the search engine results pages. If you haven't done this yet, now is the time to consolidate your content onto your website and focus your efforts there.
It is possible to recover from a drop in traffic or rankings with a properly planned, sustained, white hat SEO strategy. Our SEO strategies are always 'white hat', which means they follow Google's guidelines and include only good useful content, properly written and researched. Algorithm updates typically affect sites which haven't followed white hat practices. If you need a hand with your SEO or would like to help recovering your site after a sudden drop in traffic, get in touch for a chat. We'll diagnose the issues you're facing and come up with a strategy for reliable and stable search performance increases for your site.

The sun continues to shine on Brisbane producer CLN, who's just dropped his new track 'Mist' in preparedness for the release of his new EP later in the year.
Written and recorded in his home studio, his team tells us that he's pretty hands on with every aspect of his creations, from the production to the mixing and the mastering, even hand-crafting each of the synth sounds himself.
"The lyrical content in 'Mist' doesn't have any specific meaning," cln admits. "However, I was trying channel the feels I get from waking up in a freezing cold tent, then heading out to climb a mountain or something. I think it's one of the best feelings in the world".
Check 'Mist' out below and keep your eyes peeled for that forthcoming EP, due in October.

News > AI/DigitalAI boost could mean dementia diagnosis in a day
AI boost could mean dementia diagnosis in a day
Author: Eleanor Garth | Published on: August 16, 2021 | Last updated: May 12, 2022
Artificial intelligence helps Addenbrooke's hospital rapidly diagnose early signs of dementia.
Addenbrooke's patient Dennis Clark has become one of the first people in the country to take part in a new trial which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help diagnose and treat Alzheimer's disease and which is thought to be capable of diagnosing dementia after just a single brain scan.
Longevity.Technology: We often report on clinical trials and research on numerous, nameless subjects; the story of Dennis, however, reminds us of the real people that sit at the centre of the longevity space. Dennis is contributing to longevity research and longevity research is contributing to Dennis's care and treatment. It's a synergy that reminds us that better outcomes for people, whether that's extended lifespan, improved healthspan or better quality of life, is what is driving the the growth of this sector and the passion and commitment of those involved.
Alzheimer's is a degenerative disease; it causes rapid memory loss and impaired cognition, as well as intellectual and physical malfunction and often severe and distressing personality changes. As Alzheimer's progresses in a person, their memory and thinking becomes more and more affected and currently there is no cure. Early diagnosis and onboarding of strategies that can slow the degeneration are key to reducing the burden on patients, families and healthcare systems.
Before lockdown, the 75-year-old retired sales director Dennis Clark had been enjoying his retirement with wife Penny, engaging in the usual pursuits, such as going on holiday and walking his two dogs. However, Penny noticed he was starting to forget things. "If I asked him to do something, he would do the opposite," she says. "Then when we went out for a meal – which we didn't do for a long time because of lockdown – he couldn't remember how to pay for anything."

Penny decided to call the family doctor for help when Dennis, who had always taken pride in his appearance, started to wear the same clothes over and over again.
"The GP did a quick test over the phone and said Dennis needed to be referred. I had heard Addenbrooke's had a very comprehensive memory unit, so I was really pleased that we were able to be referred there. We had an initial consultation and we were asked if we wanted to go down the research route, which I was really keen for Dennis to do because it doesn't just help him, it helps others as well."
Dennis was referred onto the QMIN-MC trial which uses a machine learning algorithm developed by Professor Zoe Kourtzi, research lead at the Alan Turing Institute. The algorithm trains itself to diagnose patients by looking at MRI brain scans to identify patterns. It then combines these findings with the results of standard memory tests.
Addenbrooke's consultant and clinical lead for the trial, Dr Timothy Rittman, explained: "Traditionally, when we look at patient scans we are looking for patterns to be able to help us exclude things like strokes and brain tumours. The computer can do this much more comprehensively than any human, helping to give us not only a more accurate diagnosis, but also a prognosis as well. With a better prognosis we can identify how quickly a patient is moving away from the normal pattern of the disease and amend their treatment and care accordingly."
Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease and dementia can take many months, typically requiring two or three hospital visits and involving a range of CT, PET and MRI scans as well as invasive lumbar punctures. However, doctors now hope AI can be used to provide a one-stop diagnosis; this will enable patients to begin treatment to reduce the effects of the disease more quickly and give families and friends more time to put preparations in place for the longer term.
To date around 80 patients have taken part in trial which was run by Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH), Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust and two NHS trusts in Brighton.
Dennis underwent an MRI scan on 21st July and later that same day he and Penny received the news that his results were consistent with early onset of Alzheimer's disease. In light of this, Dennis will shortly begin taking medication to help treat the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
"We are very grateful to Addenbrooke's and would recommend other people take up trials as well," said Penny Clark. "Quicker diagnosis means Dennis will be able to start medication that will hopefully delay his disease. It also means we can plan for the future and start to accept what is happening.
She added: "Fortunately Dennis doesn't really understand the seriousness of it and is just trying to get on with life. We are hoping to get away again on holiday soon and still enjoy walking the dogs."
If the results of the trial are positive the algorithm could be rolled out to thousands more patients across the UK and has the potential to save the NHS half a billion pounds over the next five years.

You Think You Are in Control?
"Life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it." You may have heard this famous statement by Chuck Swindoll. The more life I get under my belt, the more I believe this is true. Crap happens every day, but how it impacts us is directly related to our perspective and our attitude.


The focus of this month's Foreign Service Journal is "Notes to the New Administration." As I write, we are all awaiting word on the president-elect's choice for Secretary of State, and our Foreign Service colleagues at USAID, and in FCS, FAS, APHIS and BBG are similarly tuned to news of key appointments.
In short order we will introduce ourselves to our new "S" and a host of other new arrivals to explain who we are, what we do and why it matters.
Congratulations on your appointment to lead the State Department, consistently rated one of the best places in the federal government to work. I, myself, am a Foreign Service officer, and I hail from the part of State's workforce that deploys worldwide to protect and serve America's people, interests and values. Like most of my Foreign Service colleagues, I have spent about two-thirds of my career posted to American embassies and consulates overseas.
Like nine in 10 Americans, I support strong American global leadership. In fact, I am passionate about it, absolutely convinced that the work we do is a huge benefit to U.S. interests writ large and to Americans from all walks of life.
Like the majority of Americans, I support sharing the burden of that global leadership. I have spent a good part of my career persuading other countries to pitch in and lighten the load on American taxpayers.
I want to encourage the new administration to rely heavily on us, the career professionals, to advance American interests.
As Foreign Service professionals, we are proud of our rigorous selection process (which whittles down some 15,000 applicants each year to 375 candidates for new, entry-level officer positions).
In the Foreign Service, you will have a corps of career professionals who are second to none in their grasp of how to get things done in the near- and far-flung places where we are deployed. And you can count on us to call it like we see it, to give you our best advice.
Sometimes you will love our reports and our advice, as we chart the course for achieving an American goal that you might not have thought possible, might not have seen if you didn't have members of the Foreign Service on the ground, working in the local language, searching out these opportunities. Sometimes you may not like our reports and advice so much, when we must advise you that something just won't fly, when even asking would carry a heavy cost.
We are hard-wired to give you an unvarnished reality check. It starts with the oath of office we take on entering the Service—to protect and defend the Constitution. Our commitment to honest judgment is reinforced with the annual evaluation cycle, which requires us to demonstrate that we can "discern when well-founded constructive dissent is justified" and "advocate policy alternatives." Evaluations matter, because we are rank-ordered each year for promotion, and those who do not get selected for promotion on time are forced to separate from the Service.
Again, congratulations on your appointment! I hope you will be proud of the extraordinary career professionals in the Foreign Service who stand ready to serve on your team. Count on us and use us fully as we support you in delivering the global leadership Americans want and the world needs.

Speed cameras? Yes, please
Bob Collins March 7, 2018, 12:29 PM Mar 7, 2018
It's Wednesday confession day so allow me to unburden my tortured soul. I'd put red light cameras at every traffic light in Minnesota.
I don't care if the person driving isn't the person who gets the ticket. I've seen too many close calls with people who just had to get to the next red light 30 seconds sooner, risking death and injury to everyone else on the road.
The same goes for speed traps. I'd run one on Interstate 94 in the east metro all day and night and I'd use the newfangled cameras for them too.
Neither of those will ever happen in Minnesota, of course, because when the cameras were installed a few years ago, so many people were caught running lights that politicians had little choice but to remove them.
Rhode Island authorities are learning the lesson too.
When speed cameras were installed in Providence school zones a few weeks ago, speeders were stopped at the rate of 27 times more often than what the police across the border in Massachusetts were doing. That's a feature, not a bug.
Monday was the first day the 12,000 speeders — I say again: 12,000 — had the chance to contest their fines in court.
It was a nightmare, the Boston Globe says.
The evening judge, looking out at 1,500 people scheduled to have their cases heard, announced he didn't want to hear any explanations — pay the fine or go to trial at a later date. His goal was to get everyone home by 2 a.m.
"We should start a revolution," one man in the courthouse lobby shouted.
Or you could just slow the heck down, sir.
"These are all working people," said Peter Basiliere, a teacher at local Roger Williams Middle School. "These are people that can't afford $95."
"This shouldn't be a trap to get people that didn't know about it to pay," Councilwoman Sabina Matos tells the Providence Journal. "We have to make sure we are solving a problem and not creating a problem."
If only there were a sign that could be erected to tell people what the speed limit is, maybe even bright yellow ones that say something like "school zone, speed limit 20 mph." That would help, right?
Matos said some people opened their mailboxes last week and found three or four tickets. If people can't pay for the tickets they may not be able to register their cars or renew their licenses, she said.
Again, a feature, not a bug.
Providence's Council president doesn't think the cameras, which only capture people going 11 mph over the speed limit, are going anywhere.
The number of tickets issued speaks for itself, he said.
Here's betting they'll all be removed by summer, some pedestrian will be killed by a speeding driver, and the citizens of Providence will wonder why authorities never do anything about the problem.

Hidden details of dinosaur fossil revealed
Details of a four-winged dinosaur that lived 160 million years ago.

The vast majority of dinosaur fossils preserve only the bones of the animal, but in very rare cases scientists get a much more detailed glimpse at what these extinct creatures might have looked like. China's Liaoning province is one place that regularly yields up incredible fossils with traces of feathers, internal organs and even gut contents preserved.
Now researchers have used a new method to reveal details of the body, skin, feathers and scales of a dinosaur called Anchiornis, which are not visible to the naked eye. Known as laser-stimulated fluorescence (LSF), the technique uses a violet laser to stimulate molecules in remnants of organic tissues in the rock to fluoresce or glow in the dark. This effect can be captured on a special camera under dark conditions, revealing otherwise hidden details of fossils.
"We were able to directly observe parts of the body outline of a bird-like dinosaur," says Hong Kong University palaeontologist Michael Pittman, one of the lead authors of a study reporting the find in the journal Nature Communications. "We also observed soft tissue details of the wings and feet that are usually extremely difficult to infer from studying fossil skeletons."
Anchiornis is important for understanding both the origin of birds and of flight, Pittman says, as the crow-sized flying dinosaur is thought to be closely related to the ancestor of birds. The scans revealed foot pads and scales on the dinosaur very similar to those seen on chickens today, as well as small flaps of skin under the feathers on the leading edge of the wings. These are known as "propatagia" and are important for flight in birds. "Drumstick-shaped legs" and a thin feathery tail were also exposed.

The researchers chose Anchiornis for the study because it is one of the most common feathered dinosaurs found, with about 230 specimens held in Chinese museum collections. This meant the scientists had many fossils from which to select the best soft-tissue preservation.
"The method does work," comments Mike Benton, a vertebrate palaeontologist at the University of Bristol who has been at the forefront of new techniques for studying dinosaur fossils. "I can see in this example that [LSF] can discriminate between rock and flesh. Often in the Chinese fossils there may be smooth areas around the bones which, in natural light, could be taken as either impressions of flesh or simply artefacts of preservation around the bones, such as the movement of water. The LSF, if appropriately treated, can be trained to discriminate between these two effects."
LSF is a relatively new technique but has also been used to reveal camouflage patterning on the dinosaur Psittacosaurus, as well as the body shape of an early bird, Confuciusornis. A spectacular scan of a pterosaur – a flying reptilian contemporary of the dinosaurs – has revealed details of the eyeball completely invisible to the naked eye.
Fossils from Liaoning, such as those of Anchiornis, were created under unique conditions that provide an unparalleled snapshot of prehistoric life. "The remarkably preserved fossils were deposited in freshwater lakes with a regular input of sediments from nearby volcanoes," explains the University of Manchester's Phillip Manning, author of Grave Secrets of the Dinosaurs: Soft Tissues and Hard Science. "The rapid blanketing of the volcanic sediments was a major factor contributing to the exceptional level of preservation and might have contributed to the death of many of the animals."

Mourinho 'pressing' Spurs to get loan signing over the line
Jose Mourinho is looking to bring Real Madrid defender Eder Militao to Spurs on loan in January transfer window, according to reports.
The 22-year-old moved to the Spanish capital from Porto for a £43 million fee in July 2019.
It is said that Mourinho 'wants' Militao with the Portuguese boss 'pressing' the Spurs hierarchy to complete a loan deal for the defender until the end of the season.
And after Spurs' scheduled game at Aston Villa on Wednesday was called off for the same reason, the Premier League moved quickly.
But the defender has only made 23 appearances for Real since then, with his most recent setback being a positive coronavirus test in November.
It's just a feeling that I have, the best Fulham will be here, so when we see the best Fulham, then you realise lots of things don't make sense.

Coffee trader resumes after 'retirement'
October 7, 2021 Comments Off on Coffee trader resumes after 'retirement'	By admin
Coffee trader Jarno Kivik will resume trading as a coffee trader after he was diagnosed with Stage 4 colorectal cancer.
The Danish trader had previously announced his retirement, but announced this week that he will be trading again with his former clients.
"I am glad to be back," Kiviks spokesperson Kristin Nørgaard told Reuters.
In October 2016, Kivig told CNBC that he had been diagnosed with the disease and that he was in remission, but his cancer has returned.
He told CNBC at the time that he would no longer be able to work as a trader due to the disease.
After his diagnosis, Krivik quit trading and returned to his family home in Denmark, where he has a daughter.
Nørlander said that Kivis coffee trader resume was expected to be in the mail.
"He is expected to start trading in a few days, so he will have time to recover," she said.
Coffee traders face many challenges in life.
Kiviys coffee trader profile shows a number of issues, including the fact that he lost his mother and two brothers when he was young, according to CNBC.
But, Kovik said that his recovery will come.
"I'm working hard, but my wife and daughter are expecting their second child.
My heart is heavy," Koviks blog post reads.
As of October 31, Kivisto Kriviks was listed as the fourth highest trading stock in the U.S. stock exchange, according in-depth data compiled by Bloomberg.
His company, Coffee Traders International (CTI), has been listed on NASDAQ Global Select Market since November 2, 2018.
Kivik said he hopes to continue trading in the coffee market.
"It's my life, it's my passion.
It's my dream to get to this point, and I think I'll be able," Kivistiks said.

How Colombia's coffee trade has become a $5.2 billion business
September 9, 2021 Comments Off on How Colombia's coffee trade has become a $5.2 billion business	By admin
Trade coffee is the fastest-growing sector of Colombia's economy.
The Colombian government says it is worth about $5 billion a year, making it one of the countrys biggest exporters.
But the coffee industry has been booming since Colombia's civil war of 1992 ended.
It's also a huge sector of the economy.
About $2 billion in trade was worth $1.8 billion in 2012.
The country has nearly 100,000 coffee producers, about half of them based in the capital, Bogota.
The Colombian government has long encouraged the coffee trade, saying that its coffee production makes up a third of Colombias gross domestic product.
In 1994, Colombia declared the coffee production and processing industry an economic activity.
The government set up a trading system that allows traders to sell their goods for a price.
That's what has been happening.
Colombia's trade in coffee began to rise in the mid-1990s, when it was a relatively small trade in the small coffee growers and farmers.
Then, as the country grew, trade became more lucrative, said Eduardo Aparicio, the country's ambassador to Brazil.
In 1997, Colombia introduced a new trade policy, allowing coffee to be traded on the world's largest online trading platform.
Trade between the two countries grew to $6 billion in 2011.
Colombieio's trade grew to about $6.5 billion in 2014, when Colombia announced it was going to expand the trading system to include other coffee producers.
The system allowed Colombians to trade coffee on the platform, which was then a small, local-based trading group.
Today, Colombia's trading sector is worth more than $10 billion.
Colombia has about 20 coffee producers and 80 coffee processors, and about 10,000 workers.
In addition to exporting coffee, Colombia is also a major coffee importer.
In Colombia, the coffee is processed at a number of coffee factories in the province of Medellin.
Colombian coffee beans are sold in Colombia, in Brazil, and in the United States.
Colombia is the third largest coffee producer in Latin America, after Brazil and Peru.
According to a recent report from Euromonitor International, Colombia exports about $1 billion worth of coffee annually to the United Kingdom and $3 billion to Australia, Germany, India, and Thailand.
The coffee in the U.K. is mostly processed in Colombia.
Colombe is a small province in Colombia's far north.
Its main industry is the production of coffee beans.
In the past, the Colombian government controlled the coffee processing industry, which has been controlled by a small group of private companies, according to the government.
The small private companies then set up trading and warehousing systems.
The trade system was also controlled by private firms, according the report.
The government controls about half the trading activity in Colombia and most of the trade in Colombia has gone through the trading groups.
In Colombia, most trade is done through the coffee groups.
The other half is done in the government-run companies.
The trading companies have no official relationship with the government, and the government has no control over them, Apariso said.
The trade is usually done through a network of smaller coffee groups, according Aparisi, who added that trade was also done through private companies that are connected to a government-operated trading system.
According To The Economist, a coffee group in Colombia can sell coffee for as little as $2 a pound, and a group in Medellín can sell for about $2.50 a pound.
In 2014, the Colombia trade was estimated at $8.3 billion.
The report said that Colombia was the top coffee producer by volume in Latin American, accounting for about 90 percent of the global trade.

When Starbucks is the most hated restaurant in America
August 30, 2021 Comments Off on When Starbucks is the most hated restaurant in America	By admin
The American restaurant industry is not the only one struggling to keep pace with the rapidly expanding number of chains.
For the first time in more than a decade, the American restaurant market lost about 8% of its customers in 2017, according to research firm NPD Group.
It was the most significant decline since the start of the recession in 2009, and it was not as steep as some expected.
The decline was the result of fewer people choosing to patronize restaurants in the first place, according the firm.
NPD Group's Mark Johnson said that the number of diners who opted to go out for a meal has remained flat for the past three years.
"It's a pretty significant decline," Johnson said.
According to Johnson, the decline comes amid an explosion of restaurants, which have been growing rapidly for decades.
The trend toward restaurant chains and casual dining has made the traditional dining experience less appealing to younger generations.
Many young people have begun to look to other forms of entertainment, and a more casual dining experience means a shift away from a dining room environment.
For the first two months of 2018, the number that came to NPD's survey for dining was down 6% from the same time last year.
It was the lowest increase in nearly a decade.
Some of that is due to the rise of the American Express card, which is more widely available than ever before.
Johnson said the number also fell because of the decline in the number who stayed for dinner.
"The dining experience has been very popular in the past, and that was not what people wanted to spend money on," Johnson explained.
"The card is kind of the new standard for dining, and people are going to do what they want to spend."
The company also noted that there was a decline in overall spending on dining, with overall spending up 7% from 2017.
In addition to the decline, many consumers are opting for other dining options.
The number of Americans who have stopped paying their credit card bills was up 15% last year, from 1.9 million to 2.6 million.
But Johnson said the biggest reason for the decline is because of a growing number of businesses that are closing.
These businesses, Johnson said, have been closing for a variety of reasons, including a decline of business in the housing market, rising gas prices, the economic downturn and the closure of businesses.
While the number one reason for closing a restaurant is the decline of customers, there are also a number of other factors that could be contributing to the trend, Johnson added.
"There are a number, but they're pretty broad in nature," he said.
"You could say that they are mostly in the restaurant industry."

Life During Wartime: Remarks on The Americans
I was initially surprised to learn that FX had developed a show about KGB sleeper agents, more so when I learned it is something of a hit. In retrospect I should not have been so surprised; the anti-hero had become such a staple of "long form television" that KGB agents are no more surprising subjects for a show than mobsters, bootleggers, advertising executives, serial killers, and drug kingpins. KGB agents could be considered to be yet another variant of the popular sociopath. Thus, a show about KGB agents does not suggest some kind of immediate revision of cold war history and propaganda, but it does revisit a period of recent history.
The basic story of The Americans centers on two KGB sleeper agents (Elizabeth and Philip Jennings, played by Kerri Russell and Matthew Rhys) in suburban Virginia outside DC. By day they are a married couple with kids, but by night they spy on the US government. However, if one wanted to place The Americans within the spectrum of various televisions shows that have come before it, shows that have inevitably been examined for the secrets of their success and copied, its format situates it somewhere between Breaking Bad and Mad Men. From the former it borrows not only a high strung premise, in which the possibility of secrets being discovered hovers over every episode, but a focus on a mediated version of domestic conflict. The standard dramas of separation and divorce are presented, but there causes are less the standard stuff of infidelity and boredom than the tensions of leading a double life. It borrows the latter's attention to period detail and interplay of familiar and unfamiliar, as known historic events punctuate the narrative thread. Just as Mad Men offered a return to the sixties for baby boomers, a chance to remember where they were when JFK was shot, The Americans offers a return to the eighties for generation X.
The eighties of The Americans is not the neon and pop infused one that we have come to know through its multiple repetitions in 80s dance nights and John Hughes nostalgia. It is something darker and more filled with dread, more The Day After than Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The perspective of KGB agents within the US skews the entire decade, constructing a narrative and a history that is at odds with nostalgia and even memory. The tension between memory and history comes to light most strongest in the assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan. Memory (and or trivia) presents this event to us as yet another oddly apolitical political event, an attempted assassination fueled more by madness and pop culture than power and ideology. In the show, however, this event is seen through the refracted lens of KGB agents and FBI counter intelligence agents who all believe, in the hectic crazy moments of that March afternoon, that the shots fired in DC might be the first salvo in a more open cold war. From the perspective of the KGB agents Secretary of State Alexander Haig's claim to "be in control" appears less as a momentary declaration awaiting the return of the vice president than the declaration of military coup.
As something of an aside I should mention that I was ten years old when Reagan was shot. I did not know much about politics then, but I did know that my father was not a fan of Reagan. I remember calling him from the house of whatever neighbor was taking care of my brother and me after school that afternoon to inform him of the good news. He latter explained the difference between beating one's political enemies in an election versus assassination, attempting to quell my young Machiavellian tendencies. He might have preferred ballots to bullets, but three years later, on a family trip to see the sights and history of our nation's capitol, he booked us rooms at the Washington Hilton Hotel.
In the case of the Reagan assassination narrative works against established history, reframing an idiosyncratic act of mass media induced madness in the context of global political conflict. The overall narrative of the first season almost works in the opposite direction. The central objective of the spies in the first season is to uncover the "star wars" defense. Throughout the season this technology is presented as something that will throw the balance of "mutually assured destruction" hopelessly out of whack, placing the soviets at a huge disadvantage. It is only in the last episode that the KGB agents come to know what we know now, that "star wars" never could work. The US colonel spying for the KGB states that the entire project is either a product of Reagan's delusion or a massive bluff.
In the first instance, that of Reagan's assassination, the show places the brutal logic of realpolitik under what is remembered as a trivia question about an obsession with Jodie Foster, replacing fantasy , or a fantasy of power, with actual power, celebrity with politics; while in the second, that of "star wars" it reminds us how much power is itself a fantasy, and hinges on the creation and maintenance of fantasy.
To the extent that the show has any political aspect it is in this refraction of standard narratives and nostalgic memories of the time. Aside from one line where Elizabeth (Kerri Russell) states that she hopes her children, children born and raised in the US as Americans, will grow up to be "trade unionists" or "socialists," there is little ideological conflict in the show. The conflict of the cold war is generally presented as a conflict between two nations, between the US and Russia understood as "the motherland," rather than two ideologies or economic systems. This might be accurate for all I know, KGB agents in 80s probably did not discuss ownership of the means of production or the "withering away of the state." I do not really know, I have never been up on my soviet history. I have always been a bad Marxist in that respect.There are exceptions to this nationalization of the conflict, as in the line above and in the character of Gregory, a civil rights activist who is recruited to work for the KGB. One can hope that these aspects will develop in the current season.
It is impossible not to read The Americans against the transformations of technology that have opened up the world to new possibilities of spying and surveillance. In a time when every web search, phone call, and email is immediately stored, recorded and monitored, the painstaking work of the show's surveillance, actually planting bugs and retrieving tapes, seems almost quaint. Perhaps this is why the KGB can now become something like heroes, or at least anti-heroes. Compared to today's NSA the KGB seems a lot less frightening.
That is not much of a conclusion, I know, but I will have the Talking Heads play us out in what should be the show's theme song.

Where raising consciousness is as scientific as it is spiritual.
Where psychotherapy can take it's rightful place as the ultimate mode of healing.
Human beings are spiritual beings or celestial beings having a physical experience and are therefore inherently good.
Human beings are capable of change, especially when they focus on The Celestial or The Divine – a higher consciousness, also called a 'power greater than themselves'.
Human beings are evolving from homo-sapiens to homo-luminous.
Human beings have evolutionary impulses that drive them to become fully-actualized and therefore becoming homo-luminous celestial beings is inevitable.
Human beings have energy systems often called the energetic body. (Hereafter the energetic body will be referred to as the celestial body.) The celestial body can be strengthened and developed. It is both the vehicle for change and the result of the change process, itself.
The outermost layers of the celestial body are the seat of consciousness and are the intersection of the individual and the divine.
Human beings are connected to one another and the universe as a whole, by way of what science is defining as an energy grid or 'Field' or a 'Divine Matrix'.
The development of consciousness is referred to as consciousness-raising. In Celestial Psychology it will also be referred to as "Holy Work". Consciousness-raising and Holy Work are integral to Celestial Psychology.
"Holy Work" is the responsibility of the individual however, when being performed or practiced, it's efficacy is enhanced by the individual's focus on divine or celestial forces.
Human beings are co-creators with divine or celestial forces. They co-create their reality, and the more developed their celestial bodies are, the more efficacious and miraculous their creations can possibly be.
Human beings are capable of healing themselves and each other with consciousness. Consciousness plays a direct role in the effectiveness of energy as medicine.
Human beings are capable of overcoming the self-centered 'Egoic Mind' and developing their Higher Consciousness, Divine Mind, or Celestial Mind.
Celestial Psychology™ is the "Holy Work" of evolving from homo-sapiens to homo-luminous beings.
Psychotherapy is the ultimate form of healing because all healing comes from the mind.
The Egoic Mind or EGO is defined with the simple acronym as Edging God Out.
Drawing on the teachings of The New Thought Movement, A Course in Miracles, Eckhart Tolle, Ken Wilber, Eric Pearl, Deepak Chopra, Thomas Moore, and a variety of other philosophical, metaphysical & psycho-spiritual frameworks Celeste has compiled a set of consciousness-raising activities including handouts, workshops exercises, homework assignments and lectures designed to assist the individual to overcome the trappings of the Egoic Mind.

Greetings and blessings to you. I have an amazing opportunity to travel to Guatemala and partner with an organization called Global CHE the week of May 12 – 20, 2012. I am excited to be a part of what Global CHE is doing in the world and how God is using them to change lives in these communities that they work in. God has been working a lot in me and I am blessed to be obedient in His calling to go to Guatemala to serve Him.
Community Health Evangelism (CHE) is a best practices model for integrating evangelism and discipleship with community-based development. The purpose of Community Health Evangelism is not only breaking poverty or planting churches, though both of those things are accomplished through CHE. Their main focus is the transformation of lives and communities that is as deep as the human heart, and as broad as the whole range of the human experience in the world God made. Today the work of Global CHE Enterprises includes ministry in 8 countries in Meso-America. The vision of Global CHE Enterprises is to see CHE transform the lives of all the indigenous peoples of Meso-America whether they live in rural villages or urban communities.
A little history on Guatemala: The Mayan civilization flourished in Guatemala and surrounding regions during the first millennium A.D. After almost three centuries as a Spanish colony, Guatemala won its independence in 1821. During the second half of the 20th century, it experienced a variety of military and civilian governments, as well as a 36-year guerrilla war. In 1996, the government signed a peace agreement formally ending the conflict, which had left more than 100,000 people dead and had created about 1 million refugees. Today this nation of 13 million people continues to struggle with the after effects of the civil war. More than 50% of the population lives under the official poverty line; the majority of these being indigenous people who are descendents of the Mayans. It is among these people that GCE primarily works.I will be going with a team of veterinarians to help diagnose, treat, vaccinate and improve the health and quality of the animals in the villages through nutrition and genetics. My job will primarily consist of some agricultural projects that include building drip irrigation systems in the villages to help water their crops. We will be working in 11 remote villages across the southern part of Guatemala. Our goal is to help these villages become self-sustainable and to show them the love of Christ.I'm going to ask if you will commit to praying for me and the team during the week that we are gone. Pray that we will accomplish the task that God has in store for us. Also pray for the people in Guatemala that are struggling in these poverty-stricken areas and for them to see the love and hope of Christ in us. I will be posting stories from the trip at my blog site http://www.livinganepiclife.org God Bless you for your encouragement and continued prayers for what God is doing in my life.

Home Page » Enjoy a trip on the Watercress Line
Standard Travel trains leave from either Alresford or Alton.
Trains leave Alresford at 10:30am and at 2pm for a 3 hour visit.
Trains leave Alton at 10.20am and 1.50pm for a 2 ½ hour visit.
'The Watercress Express', leaving from Alresford
Beginning your journey at Alresford where the Watercress that gave the Line its name was sent all over the country by train and where you can still see the goods platform behind the signal box where it was loaded, the train leaves heading for Alton. From Ropley where there is a brief pause for water and to let other trains pass when necessary, then your train will run non-stop. The railway was built as a mainline and was used to connect London with Southampton and the docks, so you will be experiencing the railway as most travellers would have done in the first 70 or so years of the railway's existence.
The line climbs all the way from Alresford through Ropley to Medstead and Four Marks, before dropping down to Alton. Enginemen called it "going over the Alps".
At Alton there is time to stretch your legs, and watch as the engine is run round from one end of the train to the other, before another assault on the hill, takes you to Ropley where you will have around 40 minutes to enjoy station and the option to get refreshments and souvenirs.
Ropley was a sleepy country station until the preservation company took over in the 1970s when it became the loco shed for the railway. Here you can see the engines and carriages being restored. Ropley hasn't lost its charm though, the famous topiary which is around 150 years old still lines the platform, and from the picnic area where you can enjoy tea, coffee and light refreshments, there is a view over the railway and the gorgeous countryside beyond.
When your train leaves, it will once again be climbing a hill as you travel back up the line to Medstead and Four Marks. This was the highest station on the whole of the old Southern Railway. In the winter the weather can be radically different here to either end of the line. Sunshine in Alton and snow at the top of the hill.
From Medstead the train returns back through Ropley once again running as an express to return you to the start of your journey at Alresford.
'The Altonian', leaving from Alton
Alton was the principle town in the area and gained a railway in 1852, 12 years before the line through to Alresford and beyond was built. Today there is still the mainline connection to London. From here the train climbs up past the Brewery that made Alton so important (sadly now closed). The line passes above the Alton Butts where once archers would have practised on a new bridge completed last year. Here there was once a junction with not one but two other lines, one to Fareham and one to Basingstoke, and the railway starts to climb steeply to Medstead and Four Marks where it then falls continuously all the way to Alresford. With no stops between Alton and Alresford you will be experiencing the railway as most travellers would have done in the first 70 or so years of the railway's existence, as it was built to be a mainline connecting London and places such as Bournemouth and Southampton.
Alresford is the first stop. This is where the Watercress that gave the Line its name was sent all over the country by train and where you can still see the goods platform behind the signal box where it was loaded. Your engine will run round the train here, and then take you up the hill to Ropley.
Ropley was a sleepy country station until the preservation company took over in the 1970s when it became the loco shed for the railway. Here you can see the engines and carriages being restored. Ropley hasn't lost its charm though, the famous topiary which is around 150 years old still lines the platform, and from the picnic area where you can enjoy tea, coffee and light refreshments, there is a view over the railway and the gorgeous countryside beyond. You will have around 40 minutes to enjoy the station and the option to get refreshments and souvenirs.
When your train leaves Ropley it will be back down the hill to Alresford, before making another express run, this time to Alton "over the Alps" as the enginemen called it because of the sharp up and down profile of the line.

smeared MASCARAA
whether if I'm laughing hard or crying tears, I can always expect for my mascara to smear…'tis life
08/06/2012 / Chika Dunu
Batman, Sprinkles and Death Row
Rainbow sprinkles tends to make people smile, but don't expect a smile on the face of Wade Burnham. It makes him kill. So for his last meal, he prefers a Little Debbie ™ brownie with walnuts on it along with chicken parmesan and a cherry coke.
Wade Burnham sits on death row at the Rick Perry Penal Institute and is expected to die tomorrow by lethal injection but there is no anxiety. "I am not scared of death. I've lived the right way. I'm in peace; the maker is calling and home is in heaven," he explains. Lived the right is laughable depending on you ask, but to many that would be a great exaggeration for the man who is guilty of killing 14 prostitutes.
Born in Midland, Texas to an absentee dad and a mother, who later turned out to be his sister, a "twisted childhood" is the best Burnham can describe it. A loner and constantly ridiculed in school for being cross-eyed, he dropped out at 15, married at 19 and divorced six months later. A Vietnam veteran who was dishonorably charged under special circumstances, including smearing his semen on the face of higher officials sees nothing wrong with his actions. "In my judgment everything is justified," he says.
Judgment is right and for his actions he's spent the majority of his adult life in prison. Burnham's first murder (which he refers to as a calling to rid the world of prostitutes and diseases), though nervous was captivated watching the life rush out of his victim. He didn't stop there, murdering 14 night-walkers in the states of Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma. "It's like peeling an orange. It gets easier as you go." After each murder, he obtained trinkets of body parts storing them in his refrigerator. For him it was a daily reminder to fulfill his life purpose. "The skull was motivation," he says nonchalantly. "Prostitution symbolizes everything wrong with humanity. I did the world a favor."
It can be said the imprisonment of Burnham is the real favor to the world, but who's to say. Clad in an orange jumpsuit and with his hands clasped together bonded with metal handcuffs, Burnham shows a tint of vulnerability. "Jail's been difficult. I really have no friends in here," he admits, his pupils contracting. "But for the last five years, it's been peaceful. I read; I'm a big fan of Batman™." He also maintains internal peace by not smoking or drinking.
Tomorrow Wade Burnham will "walk with angels," but today he shuffles with correction officers back to the cell he consumes for 23 hours a day. The hunch in his back and the gray in his hair indicate his age and perhaps time spent in solitary confinement. Referencing Batman, he understands that the city calls for his death and he's fine with that because "God calls on him."

NL:CA Patient Level Booklet
The Royal College of Physicians have produced a patient-level booklet to help inform lung cancer patients, their families and their carers about the level of care they can expect. Working with the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation they consulted lung cancer patients, carers and families to help write the booklet, which showcases the results from the 2018 NLCA annual report. There's also a survey where you can provide feedback on the booklet.
New education/decision tool on malignant pleural effusions (MPEs)
MPEs can be a difficult concept to understand and a burden to patients. There are numerous different ways to manage MPEs with not one being shown to be vastly superior to another. Therefore, individual circumstances and preferences are a critical factor in decision making for patients and carers with MPE. Dr Matt Evison and colleauges have developed a web-based patient information and decision aid tool to help explain this condition, how it can be managed and what priorities and preferences patients and carers may wish to think about when making treatment decisions. The content has been co-produced from the outset by patients, carers and clinicians through dedicated focus groups. Matt would be delighted to hear your feedback.
Mesothelioma UK Ladies' Lunch
This year's Mesothelioma UK Ladies' Lunch will take place on Friday 6th March 2020 at the Macdonald Hotel, Manchester. The thre course lunch costs £25.00 per person in aid of Mesothelioma UK. For more information please contact info@mesothelioma.uk.com
Support your colleagues
Currently, there's no approved National Guidance on how to follow up lung cancer patients after surgery, reports Simon Bolton, "and even within our own region the intervals between imaging and appointments vary. I hope to demonstrate that a wide variety of follow up protocols are used to support patients and detect recurrent disease after surgical resection of lung cancer". You can help Simon by completing a short audit questionnaire (16 questions which take only 5 minutes to complete). The study will not identify which is the 'best' method of follow up but should provide insight into the more commonly used protocols and help guide future projects. Only one LCNS is required to complete the survey from each hospital so please coordinate with your colleagues on who will respond for your hospital. Please complete before 29 February.

This homemade Death Star has real (deadly) lasers
Brittany A. Roston - Dec 7, 2015, 8:15pm CST
Most of us are satisfied with the simple things in life — an R2-D2 teapot, perhaps. Others want something bigger, though, something a little more incredible, and by incredible we mean incredible and dangerous. Enter Patrick Priebe and his homemade Death Star model. At first glance it doesn't seem like much, but activate its lasers and you'll find it truly is a miniature version of its destruction-bringing sibling.
The planet itself is made out of a rubber ball coated in fiberglass layers. These layers made the ball hard, at which point he cut a small hole in it for some LEDs. Light them up, and the fissures on the Death Star's outer shell glow, teasing that maybe a fleet of tiny workers lie inside.
The star of the show, though, are fourteen 6 watt laser positioned around a hole in which a circular reflector is position. Every laser has four adjustment screws, which he adjusted so that each laser meets at the same point in front of the sphere. The result? A legitimately deadly single 84 watt laser beam (aided by the use of a plexiglass rod).
It wasn't a light undertaking. According to Gizmag, which spoke with the creator, Priebe shelled out about $3k on the laser itself, and spent another $1500 or so on the rest of the materials. Check out the video below to see it in action!

Q: C++ - Incomplete class type? I've been working with a lot of C and Java lately so I'm a bit confused coming back to C++ on why this is not allowed.
incomplete type is not allowed
#pragma once

class Expression
{
private:
    Expression power; // <--- incomplete type is not allowed
};

I believe the answer here is to change the line Expression power to Expression *power but I don't understand why that is. I can declare objects like vector<int> var without having to make them a pointer, but the second I have an object of the same type as the file it's being declared in, I need one? I've looked around but cannot find any tutorials/videos on a class making an object of itself.

A: If you put an instance of a class inside itself, if you notice, you are creating recursion, since every instance has its own Expression power, and this goes on forever. If you have a pointer though, you can control this infinite recursion, since at any time you can set power to nullptr, (or NULL/0, pre C++11), to end the recursion.

TV ReviewsThe VoiceSeason 4
The Voice: "Live Finale"
Myles McNutt
The VoiceSeason 4
"Live Finale"
The Voice has passed its most important test this spring. With Christina Aguilera and Cee-Lo Green on the bench, Mark Burnett and company successfully slotted in Shakira and Usher during their absence and delivered a season that lived up to ratings expectations and helped NBC complete a rejuvenating year (even if they also canceled most of their new series from last fall). It's proof that it's the format and not just the individual coaches that America has become attached to, and it bodes well for the show's future as a season-long staple for the network.
However, if we take a step back and ignore the ratings for a moment, has The Voice ever managed to pass the test we tend to use when judging the value of a singing competition? Four cycles into its existence, The Voice—like fellow newcomer X Factor—has failed to generate a recording artist who has gained any cultural traction. This is not to say that all of the show's winners were untalented, but rather to suggest that there is unlikely to be a point in the future when "Who won the fourth season of The Voice?" will show up in a general interest trivia round as "Who won the sixth season of American Idol?" did for me a few weeks ago.
To be fair, American Idol has shifted out of the mainstream enough that I'm guessing many people would struggle to answer that question; however, early seasons of American Idol reached that intangible point of cultural prominence where the title of "American Idol" meant something. Although Carson Daly and the four coaches consistently talk about how much it would mean for these artists to win The Voice, has there been any evidence to quantify or even qualify that claim? It's too early to judge this question definitively as Cassadee Pope is making a run at country radio with her "Avril Lavigne goes Country" single "Wasting All These Tears," but I'm comfortable saying that The Voice has settled into a cultural space of "popular but meaningless."
There's nothing inherently wrong with that, provided you're willing to sit through lots of empty claims from Daly. I've caught only a few episodes of The Voice this season (and am filling in here as the substitute for a busy Caroline Framke), but have seen a bit more in recent weeks as I've been home visiting with my parents. Loyal viewers of the show, they nonetheless have developed a distinct relationship with the series. My mother skips through the coaches' comments, deeming them to be useless in their undying positivity; when Monday's performance finale brought out all of the finalists to sing, she admitted she wouldn't be able to name most of them. She has her favorites, and she has her opinions of the contestants, but the show is ephemeral: always present, always watchable, rarely captivating.
And yet there's something about The Voice that I admire, and tonight's two-hour finale offered a nice demonstration of it. What works about The Voice is that it's upfront about how it's ultimately a space where NBC can sell celebrity and commercial products on the backs of unknown singers. When the show begins, Carson Daly introduces the celebrity coaches before he introduces the three finalists; during Daly's mid-broadcast previews of what was coming up later, Cher's performance of her new single "Woman's World" seemed to be mentioned more often than the fact the show would be announcing its winner. The finale transitions from performance to performance without much connective tissue, the "Here's Bruno Mars performing his new single" indistinguishable from the performances featuring finalists from the show itself (who, as someone who didn't watch the entire season, were often anonymous to me). Daly stops the broadcast late in the hour to personally thank Starbucks on behalf of the crew, suggesting the crew could not have completed their labor if not for their caffeinated—and promotional—support.
In most contexts I find much of this infuriating. There's a point in the broadcast where Michelle Chamuel's performance with OneRepublic is sandwiched between a video package about the rift in Adam and Blake's bromance and a comedy routing with Blake making fun of Usher's coaching techniques, and part of me was angry. Instead of focusing on the contestant the show is ostensibly claiming to help elevate in her career, the show is instead focusing on cheap comedy. It was even worse when Carson Daly referred to Michelle as "Usher's Michelle Chamuel," as though she belongs to him, a pet peeve of mine ever since Justin Bieber referred to Carly Rae Jepsen as "his" artist. I realize it's just rhetoric at the end of the day, but that's the kind of fear you have when real people enter themselves into this reality television machine.
And yet as the finale progressed, there was something strikingly genuine about the whole affair. During Monday's performance finale, Shakira brought props to express her support for the three remaining finalists given that all of her team had been eliminated before the final round. The props mean little, really, but Shakira seemed to genuinely enjoy being able to play cheerleader for these people. And when you watch Usher talk about what it would be like for Michelle to win the competition, or as you watch how much fun Blake was having playing the goofball with his team, you realize this is fun and meaningful for them. The relationships the contestants speak to with the coaches don't feel like a construct of the Mark Burnett machine, but rather genuine human connections, reinforced when the season's final image is all of the coaches and the three finalists on stage with winner Danielle Bradbery's family, as though they're all part of the same family in the end.
The Voice works because you believe that image would have been identical had one of the other finalists won. Rather than a singing competition, The Voice is a documentary reality show about the mentorship of young singers by charismatic and caring celebrities. Each week viewers tune in not to see who wins and loses, but rather to watch as singers grow into artists; the same is true of most singing competitions, true, but the tight focus on mentorship foregrounds this narrative above that of competition. It's why Bradbery, the 16-year-old with the pure voice and the pure heart, played so well to Americans, and why "reality show quirky" runner-up Michelle Chamuel beat out the more generic Swon Brothers. Michelle said in her final confessional that "winning is about representing the people who have put time and energy into this." The Voice is successful because it hails viewers in ways that make them feel like they're part of that group of people, contributors to the "team" of each coach or contestant they choose to support; it's why Adam Levine's harmless dismissal of America turned into such a controversy, as it shattered the illusion that viewers, coaches, and contestants were all on the same playing field.
We could have a conversation about what yet another young female country-leaning vocalist means for the show's cultural footprint, or what Blake's third-straight victory tells us about the makeup of The Voice's audience. And although my mother has encouraged me to be nice, I could also note how perplexed I was that the Swon Brothers made it this far in the competition, or how Amber Carrington easily outclassed the other finalists vocally, or how that excerpt from Justin Rivers' version of "The Climb" made me cringe. I rolled my eyes every time Carson Daly was reading some hyperbolic statement about the show's importance off a teleprompter, and I thought every judges' comment from Monday night was completely and utterly pointless. Nothing Christina Milian tells me is going to convince me the show's social media posturing isn't as overblown as every other show's social media posturing, and nothing could make me hide my disdain for that "Aren't we all shocked Shakira knows big words?!" nonsense.
But The Voice doesn't care. As the show aggressively announces coming out of every commercial break in the simplest terms possible, "THIS IS THE VOICE!" Through four cycles, the show has settled into a rhythm wherein the central relationship between its coaches and their charges has connected with American audiences. The show isn't designed to create the next musical superstar, it's designed to make Americans feel like they're getting a front row seat to the space where such a thing could theoretically take place—whether it does or not is beside the point, although I'm sure NBC would rest easier if it would. Most viewers might hit the mental reset button by the time you've read this review, ready for another cycle to begin in the fall, but NBC has made The Voice a success by encouraging viewers to—in the immortal words of Pitbull featuring Christina Aguilera—"Feel This Moment."
I enjoy how they forced Danielle to sing at the end, surely knowing she'll run out of words and end up hugging people instead.
I'm guessing there were a few audible exhales when the Swon Brothers were announced as the third place finishers, although it wasn't much of a surprise: If Michelle had finished in third place they wouldn't have announced it (because it would have robbed them of Usher and Blake holding hands over the winner), and there was no way Danielle was finishing third. Still, from what I saw online it seemed like they were the most divisive act remaining: As one person put it, "the pretty one is holding the other one back."
I'm not one to throw shade for artists who use backing tracks, since it's such a standard in the industry, but in what universe does Pitbull lip-synch his way through "Feel This Moment" while Aguilera sings most of her hook live? That's some lazy nonsense right there.
Cher was also not singing live through a lot of "Woman's World," but her dance period has always lived in that awkward auto-tuned inbetween, and I was surprised even some of it went without the backing track. Also, I think we've now confirmed that the musical trajectory of Cher and RuPaul has fully converged; I look forward to the duets album.
Other guest performance observations: Florida Georgia Line is a struggle for me for a lot of reasons, Bruno Mars' Dancing Band makes me happy, Hunter Hayes' stubble made me chuckle, and I wish it had been Bob Saget.
Holly Tucker was good in her performance alongside the Swon Brothers, but then she breaks out the saxophone in a later performance? I like your style, Holly Tucker.
Curious to know if people are tiring of the formula, or if Usher and Shakira helped shake things up: NBC is entering that space where saturation is possible, and although ratings have held fairly steady I'm wondering what kind of attrition they're expecting.
Any suggestions on individual performances someone like me who only watched bits and pieces of the season should seek out?

After enacting a law for forests, the law No. 10, for the year 2012, was published in the 'Facts of Kurdistan' newspaper under the 'Law of forests in Kurdistan Region of Iraq' to be executed accordingly. Being the Nature Iraq Organization, we found the importance of collecting different view point of environment organizations and related governmental authorities on 'Iraq Water-keeper laws and advocacy project' to better empower and review the law to befit in accordance with current status of Kurdistan Region. It is constituting an important law of environment in general and Kurdistan Region forests in particular.
This was our reason for holding a joint meeting on 04/12/2017, in the directorate of Forestry in Sulaymaniyah, attended by personnel of the directorate and some environment related organizations. We believe that these sorts of activities will very many organizations to express their view point regarding related authorities.
Thankfully, through attendants, we were able to state our view points on the law and discuss the execution mechanism which currently faces critical situations due to Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq financial difficulties. We hope to be coordinated by all to be able to enact a suitable law to better serve Kurdistan environment, better reserve the rights and duties of everyone within community, and to bring violators and vandals of forests before the court to face harshest rules.
The adoption of appropriate measures for the violators of the order of forestry is necessary to comply with legislation in the field of environmental protection.
If you are fond of advocacy that is the right thing for you. I am pleased to haev found it.
It is very good that during such meetings each side can state its point of view and show what points of this question it is worth discussing again.
