Seldom does a book of essays present such a well-balanced collection as does this work. The introduction is a model of informative scholarship that prepares the reader for the studies that follow.
Jill Kraye's "Pico on the Relationship of Rhetoric and Philosophy" presents a tour de force in her discussion of Pico's letter to Ermalao Barbaro in which Pico entered the age-old fray of the relationship between rhetoric and philosophy. Barbaro was scornful of Aristotelians who did not know Latin or Greek and hoped to show them that "those who separate philosophy from eloquence are thought to be commonplace, insignificant and wooden philosophers" (15). In response, Pico provided a strong defense of the scholastics whose substance of thought far out-weighed any deficiencies in style. Various scholars throughout the ages have provided resolutions to the problem, and the author also adds compelling ones of her own.
In Paul Richard Blums's contribution, "Pico, Theology, and the Church," the author explores Pico's understanding of theology and philosophy and his call for a council to engage in disputation concerning his 900 Theses. A papal commission found thirteen of these heretical. Blum maintains that the papal commission desired to separate natural philosophy from theology. Blum remarks about Lorenzo de'Medici's defense of Pico against charges of heresy that even if he were reciting the Credo his enemies would claim it was heretical.
Michael Sudduth's theme is "Pico della Mirandola's Philosophy of Religion," which Sudduth interprets as a "reflective habit of mind directed toward religious or theological beliefs or statements" (61). Pico's syncretism can be observed in the theological conception of philosophy found in the Oratio as a truth articulated in the world's different religions and philosophical traditions. Sudduth reasons that Pico's defense of philosophy, his idea of human freedom, and his syncretic program were all interrelated and shaped by his religious presuppositions, a "form of Christian supernaturalism that defined Roman Catholic theology in the fifteenth century" (79).
Michael J. B. Allen in "The Birth of Venus" presents the reader with comments drawn from an intimate understanding of Plato to illuminate Pico's Commento and Heptaplus. In the Commento Pico's major concern is poetic theology metaphysically expressed in Greco-Roman myth. Allen points out Pico's absorption with the Orpheus-Eurydice myth in Plato's Symposium and with God's [End Page 916] creation of Mind. Mind awakened by Love turned to God who bestowed upon Mind the perfecting of the beauty of Ideas. In the Heptaplus Pico wants to understand Genesis and how things are in time after creation. He turns to the Kabbalah, in which a Christological text is fashioned from Genesis.
In "Three Precursors to Pico della Mirandola's Roman Disputation and the Question of Human Nature in the Oratio," M. V. Dougherty organizes his contribution into six parts, the first three being Disputatio, Sententiae, and Dialectica. In the last three sections he turns to the content of the Oratio by considering Natura humana, Deificatio, and Oratio. In the Oratio Pico claims that he will demonstrate the concordia between Plato and Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas and Duns Scotus, and Avicenna and Averroes. Dougherty argues that both parts of the Oratio demonstrate that deification is the goal of human endeavors, which is revealed by the ultimate human unity with God.
Sheila J. Rabin's "Pico on Magic and Astrology" provides the reader with a feast of astronomy, astrology, and Kabbalah, defining and discussing each independently and how they relate to each other and to Pico's thought. Pico argued that Kabbalah proved the truths of Christianity and that those who studied Kabbalah worked actively to reform the world. Pico had written in the Conclusiones that "[n]o power exists in heaven or earth seminally and separated that the magician cannot actuate and unite" (159) and in the end of his Conclusiones that "as true astrology teaches us to read in the book of God, so the Cabala teaches...

Man in Red Bandana
FilmReview by Kam Williams
Masked 9/11 Hero Memorialized in Inspirational Biopic
Sometimes, substance trumps low-production values. Case in point, Man in Red Bandana. Minutes after the World Trade Center was struck by United Airlines Flight 175 on the morning of 9/11, Welles Crowther called his mother to let her know he was okay. The 24 year-old stockbroker knew she'd be worried, since his office was located on the 104th floor of the South Tower.
However, Welles was also a volunteer firefighter who was seriously considering abandoning his very-promising Wall Street career to start over with the NY Fire Department. In fact, he'd recently expressed to his father a feeling that having a more meaningful job was more important to him than making lots of money.
So, it wasn't a surprise to Welles' family that, instead of leaving the burning building, he might remain inside, calmy leading the injured and dazed to safety. For, after discovering the only avenue of escape available to those trapped above the impact of the plane, he made his way up and down that unstable staircase several times to assist seemingly-trapped victims.
But because he covered his face with a red bandana while altruistically performing his heroics, none of those he saved ever knew whom to thank. Nevertheless, a number of articles published by the New York Times and other newspapers featured survivors' accounts crediting a masked young man with saving their lives.
Unfortunately, Welles perished in the collapse of the tower, but not before rescuing at least a dozen victims. It was easy for his folks and anybody else that knew him to identify Welles as the unidentified Good Samaritan. That's because a red bandana had been his trademark since his father first gave him one at the age of 7.
Welles wore the bandana throughout childhood, on the lacrosse field while playing for Boston College, and even sported it in the pocket of his suit jacket as an up-and-coming equities trader. And then, during the last and finest hour of his abbreviated life, he used it to filter smoke from the acrid air he was being forced to breathe by the conflagration.
An overdue tribute to a selfless hero who put into action his heartfelt belief that we are all here to care for one another. A must see documentary guaranteed to leave you in tears!

The less time is left until elections in Ukraine, the more measures Kiev's top officials take to break ties with Russia. Speaking at the 11th Kiev Security Forum, Petro Poroshenko charged preparing suggestions in cooperation with the Cabinet to terminate Ukraine's membership in CIS Statutory Bodies and close Ukraine's representations at relevant institutions in Minsk after CIS refused to recognize what Poroshenko calls "Russian aggression." On the first days of May, Poroshenko charged Foreign Ministry to recall Ukraine's representatives from CIS Statutory Bodies.
If the agreements within CIS are not re-concluded in the bilateral format, this will result in more losses for Ukraine's economy (in view of stopping duty-free trade and introducing non-tariff restrictions within WTO requirements) and complicate the terms of temporary or permanent stay of Ukrainians in CIS countries. In fact, a certain part of Ukrainians will not adapt to the changed conditions of staying in CIS and will have to return to Ukraine increasing the burden of labor market and social infrastructure. What is positive about all this is that most of the returned Ukrainians will be opposing the authorities.
Besides, Poroshenko demanded denouncing some provisions of the Great Treaty between Ukraine and Russia with no practical benefit. This will just remove certain conflict of the law i.e. for Kiev Russia is an "aggressor-state" and "strategic partner" at the same time. The last wording did not hold Kiev from imposing sanctions on Russia and denouncing intergovernmental agreements unilaterally. Ukraine's Security Council imposed additional sanctions against Russian privates and legal entities synchronizing the list with the latest list of U.S. Treasury Department.
In total, as of April 2018, 44 out of 451 agreements between Ukraine and Russia were terminated. Perhaps, the government really hopes such steps will pave the way to Ukraine's accession to EU and NATO. Noteworthy that Poroshenko plans to prioritize membership of these organizations by adding relevant provisions to the Constitution. Considering the "Balticization" process that started in Ukraine in 2014, they will introduce laws banning participation in integration unions with Russia, like Lithuania did yet in early 1990s.
Besides, addressing the 11th Kiev Security Forum, Poroshenko focused on measures "to prevent Russia's interference into any elections in the world." He meant also the elections Ukraine will see next year. That is, if Poroshenko wins, it will mean that Russia did not interfere and the vice versa. Considering his low approval rating in the country and media reports about runaway MP Oleksandr Onishchenko's corruption claims against Poroshenko, the latter initiated a procedure of establishing the so-called united local church and even met with Bartholomew I, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, to that end.
"This is not just about religion, this is about geopolitics. Establishment of the independent local church is as important for me as 'visa-free' regime, Association Agreement and our efforts to access EU and NATO. This is an issue of national security and defense in this hybrid war. The Kremlin considers Russian church as a major instrument to influence Ukraine," Poroshenko said in the parliament on April 19. It is not clear yet whether Bartholomew I will provide Tomos of ecclesiastical independence - autocephaly. If he does, it will prompt a new wave of religious conflict in Ukraine and attacks on Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchy) will intensify.
Strange as it may seem, Ukraine tries to maintain gas transit amid efforts to break all possible ties with Russia. Poroshenko speaks against construction of Nord Stream-2 at all possible platforms. This issue was on agenda of his talks with Angela Merkel in Germany on April 10. What German Chancellor said to comfort the Ukrainian president was that "Nord Stream 2 project is not possible without clarity of how Ukraine's transit role will continue." Meantime, two weeks before Poroshenko's visit to Germany, Nord Stream 2 AG received a pipeline construction and operation permit in Germany's Exclusive Economic Zone.
Here is how "the entire civilized world supports Ukraine." In addition, on April 20, US Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor published Human Rights Report 2017, wherein it addressed serious human rights violations in Ukraine, including abuse of power by security officers and failure to punish those behind killings of Maidan participants.
Earlier, Amnesty International addressed violations of human rights in Crimea and Donbass, existence of secret prisons of Ukrainian special services and unlawful detention of people, pressure on civil sector by the government.
In April, Freedom House published Nations in Transit report praising some local self-government reforms in Ukraine, but emphasizing decline in development of independent Mass Media and civil society, high level of corruption, inefficient West-oriented anti-corruption agencies. For instance, specialized anti-corruption prosecutor Nazar Kholodnitsky is Vice President of the Football Federation of Ukraine headed by Andriy Pavelko, Head of the Parliamentary Committee on Budget Issues, MP representing the pro-presidential bloc. This is an evident conflict of interests.
On April 26, 57 U.S. congressmen appealed to the Department of State over growing anti-Semitism in Europe, particularly in Ukraine. The congressmen believe that Ukraine's "law on de-communization" dated 2015 glorifies the Nazi collaborationists and criminalizes denial of their "glorification." This step of Ukrainian government has prompted nearly no response from the United States.
It is early to speak of any drastic changes in U.S. policy on Ukraine, the more so as Ukraine is on the periphery of Washington's foreign policy irrespective of U.S.-Russia relations. Nevertheless, all this indicates that Poroshenko will hardly get foreign support at upcoming presidential election.

Everyone Has a Right to Daylight – High Court Ruling
Everyone has a right to live in daylight and, in one case, the High Court overturned a residential planning permission after objectors complained that the development would put an adjoining area of land, used by primary school pupils as an outdoor classroom and play area, in the shade.
In granting consent for a three-storey block, encompassing a café and two flats, on a vacant inner city site, the local authority accepted on the basis of an officer's report that the development would improve the under-utilised site and enhance the appearance of the conservation area.
Objections to the proposals focused on a neighbouring open area which was used by pupils at a nearby primary school. It was said that the project would overshadow the area and result in a substantial reduction in the amount of sunlight reaching it, particularly during the winter months.
Councillors found that 87.6 per cent of the area currently received sunlight and that would only fall to 76.6 per cent following the development, which had been reduced from four storeys to three during the planning process. They concluded that Building Research Establishment guidelines in respect of sunlight were thus comfortably met.
In upholding a judicial review challenge and quashing the permission, however, the Court found that the officer's report contained an error of fact in that it assumed that the area was fenced, although it was in fact surrounded by a wall. The mistake had unwittingly created a misleading picture, to the disadvantage of objectors, on the critical sunlight issue.
Other grounds of challenge were dismissed and the Court noted that it was not concerned with the planning merits of the proposals – which were on the face of it strong – and was wholly neutral as to whether the council should grant or refuse permission on reconsidering the developer's application.

Home Drag Racing News Justin Kalwei's Twin Turbo 1967 Nova
Justin Kalwei's Twin Turbo 1967 Nova
Brand loyalty has been a part of the racing culture since it began and some take it to the next level with their obsession over certain makes and models of vehicle. Justin Kalwei and his family are part of the General Motors fan club, but the car they've always loved is the classic Chevy II Nova. Justin has channeled that admiration of the Nova into a sleek Laguna Blue 1967 model that is motivated by some serious twin-turbo LSX-based muscle.
Well before Justin was laying down four-second passes in his Nova he learned how to wrench on trucks. The very first vehicle he learned to drive and work on was a 1970 C10 pickup that his parents purchased for him when he was just 15 years old. That truck was far from a powerhouse when Justin took ownership of it. The truck sported just a straight six-cylinder engine under the hood with a manual transmission.
That docile six-banger just wasn't going to cut it, though, so it was time to add some horsepower to his new ride.
"I had to have something with more power for the truck so we started to hot rod it. The engine it came with was replaced with a 355 cubic-inch small-block backed by a TH350 transmission. We added a nitrous kit to the engine and it ended up running in the 12s at the track … not bad for an old truck," Justin explains.
My parents decided it would be best for me to have a track-only car with some power so I wouldn't get any more tickets.
With great power comes great responsibility, and at 16 years old Justin just wasn't responsible enough to have that much power on tap. He began racking up a fair amount of speeding tickets with the truck, so his parents decided he needed a better outlet for his addiction to speed. The search began for a car that would be dedicated for track use so Justin wouldn't find any more trouble on the streets doing high-speed equipment tests.
"My parents decided it would be best for me to have a track-only car with some power so I wouldn't get any more tickets. They found a 1955 Chevy that had a big 540 cubic-inch engine for me to drive. That car ended up running 5.00 in the 1/8-mile so it was a pretty quick car and a lot of fun to drive," Justin says.
Justin and his family would take their shoebox Chevy to one of the biggest heads-up races in the country, the World Street Nationals at Orlando Speedworld to compete. At the event, they got to see Mark Dantoni win in his immaculate 1957 Chevy and they decided they had to have one. That led to Justin getting a new ride, fresh competition to race, and new personal bests at the track.
"After seeing Dantoni's car in Orlando, we ended up going to New York and buying a Jerry Bickel Race Cars-built 1957 Chevy. That car had a 707 cubic-inch Pat Musi engine and a Lenco five-speed transmission. We ran that car in the NMCA Pro Street class along with some other events and ran a best of 6.70 at 210 mph. I was just 18 at the time driving that car and having a whole lot of fun," Justin explains.
The '57 served Justin well and he was able to move on to an even faster car, a 1963 split window Corvette that ran 4.0s in the 1/8-mile at over 186 mph. Eventually, he moved on from the Corvette and started a new build. His new project signaled a move back to his roots in the form of a 1994 Chevy Silverado truck called "The Red Dragon".
The Silverado started life just like his C10, with a six-cylinder engine under the hood, but this time it was replaced with something a bit more modern: a 5.3-liter LS. That combination wasn't fast enough for Justin even though the truck was his daily driver, so the engine was rebuilt with stronger internals with a pair of turbos added to the mix for good measure. The Red Dragon was now a certified eight-second daily driver and ran a best of 8.62 at 165 in the 1/4-mile.
Justin had the Red Dragon for a long time, but when the opportunity came up to move into a Chevy II he was more than ready to make the jump.
"We happened to find this Nova in Texas about three years ago. The price was just too good to walk away from so I purchased the car. It was perfect because we've always had a soft spot for the Chevy II body style. I ended up pulling the driveline out of the Red Dragon and sticking it in the Nova after I got it," Justin says.
As soon as Justin finished up the Nova it showed the true potential of the engine he had built. The car set the hydraulic roller cam LSX record with a 4.57 1/8-mile pass at 160 mph. The joy of setting the record was short-lived though — at Tulsa Raceway Park he crashed the car. Justin turned that setback into a positive and used the downtime to make some updates, change the color, and add a whole lot more power to the car.
Texas Speed and Performance got the call to build Justin a healthy 427 cubic-inch LS-based engine using a GM LSX block. Standing up to serious high-boost abuse was going to be a challenge, so Texas Speed used a Callies Ultra Billet crankshaft as the base of the rotating assembly, then added a set of Callies Ultra Rods and Wiseco pistons. Keeping the engine lubricated from the bottom is a Melling oil pump inside a Moroso oil pan.
For cylinder heads, Texas Speed used a set of PRC 247 casting six-bolt units with cathedral ports. The heads were matched to one of Texas Speed's custom camshafts and stock 1.7 rocker arms. Air is added to the engine via an Edelbrock Super Victor intake and 102mm Nick Williams throttle body. A set of 220-pound injectors receive fuel from a pair of MagnaFuel 750 fuel pumps, while an Aeromotive regulator keeps the fuel pressure at an optimal 58 psi. Justin tunes the car himself with a Holley Dominator ECU that provides the spark to a set of Holley Smart Coils.
The turbo kit was built by Vasko Speed using 4-inch cold size piping, 2.5-inch hot side piping, and a 4-inch downpipe. Boost comes from a pair of LJMS 85/96 turbos that are controlled by a 60mm JGS blow-off valve and a pair of JGS 50mm wastegates. The incoming charge of air is cooled by a Chiseled Performance 2000 intercooler. When everything was combined together it put down over 1,500 horsepower to the tires.
It has been a long journey to get the car back into racing shape but it has been worth it.
To support the power, Justin bolted an M&M Transmission TH400 up to it along with an M&M Transmission torque converter. Behind the stout transmission and converter is a 9-inch rearend that uses Mark Williams Enterprises 40-spline axles, a Mark Williams spool, and 3.70 ratio gears.
The front suspension features a full set of Smith Racecraft upper and lower control arms that work with a pair of Strange Engineering struts. All of these parts are bolted to a Smith Racecraft frontend that Justin added to the car. In the rear, a set of Santhuff shocks make sure all of the power is planted to the pavement as efficiently as possible.
Wheels are what gives a car its signature look, so Justin made sure to use a striking set on the Nova. In the front, he used a pair of WELD Racing Magnum wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson rubber, and in the rear, a set of WELD Racing Alpha wheels and a pair of Mickey Thompson Pro 275 tires. Bringing the Nova to a stop after each four-second trip down the track are Strange Engineering disc brakes at each corner.
After the crash, the Nova was in need of some body work and Justin used this as an opportunity to change its appearance. He enlisted the help of Todd Timbrook to change the color from gray to a striking tone of Laguna Blue. An Unlimited Products bubble hood was added to the car along with a Tim McAmis Race Cars rear wing.
Justin stays very busy with his shop, Justune Performance & Tuning, so he's had limited time to shake the Nova down after its makeover. When the car is ready he plans on chasing some records and doing as much racing as he can.
"I'm hoping the car will run in the 4.20 to 4.30 range when we're done getting it fine-tuned. It has been a long journey to get the car back into racing shape but it has been worth it. The plan is to do some no-prep racing with the car and hit some Limited Drag Radial events, as well," Justin says.
Every step of the way Justin has received support from many people. He acknowledges without their help he would never be able to build the car he dreamed of.
"I would like to thank my wife for always backing me and letting me do the things that
make me happy in life. My parents for always being there to help me with the ups and downs of this sport. My friends for always being there to get this car built and whenever I need a hand. Texas Speed & Performance for stepping up and sponsoring the bullet that we needed, and a special thanks to Todd Timbrook for making my dreams of a blue Chevy II a reality."
Justin has been able to race some amazing cars on the way to owning his dream car. The 1967 Nova that found a way into his life has been transformed into the vision of what he thinks a racecar should be and he takes pride in making sure that his Nova runs just as good as it looks at the track.

Q: How to create nested list according to value in the list? I have 2 lists, that I would like to use to create a nested list:
list1=['a','a','b','c','d','d']
list2=['a1','a2','b','c','d1','d2']

result = [['a1','a2'],['b'],['c'],['d1','d2']]

meaning that I want to create one sublist per item from list1 (eg. here 4 lists, one for a, one for b, one for c, and last one for d); and the list "result" storing the values from list2. I never did something like that until now, I've read about comprehension lists, but I don't know how to use them.

A: list1=['a','a','b','c','d','d']
list2=['a1','a2','b','c','d1','d2']

d = {}
for key, value in zip(list1, list2):
    if !key in d:
        d[key] = []
    d[key].append(value)

d.values()

[['a1', 'a2'], ['c'], ['b'], ['d1', 'd2']]

Celebrating 20 Years of Cole Consulting!
Last month marked the anniversary of Cole Consulting's 20th year in business.
It was exactly that long ago that I stood, waist deep, in the crystal clear waters of Long Pond, on Cape Cod, and, thankfully, for the last time complained to my dear old childhood friend Bob that I just didn't want to go back to work. Again. Work at that time meant managing teams in the energy services industry; aka building automation, computer controls, HVAC.
And I didn't go back.
I took the leap, as entrepreneurs are prone to do, of opening not just a business but an expression of everything I hold near and dear. I had lots of help during those early years and I practiced the wisdom of my mentors: I trusted the dance. I persevered. I held on to the belief that 'the customer is always right'.
And the right customers have consistently come to me, for which I am eternally grateful.
In my sixteen years in the energy services business I really liked the problem solving/energy saving/high tech cool stuff that came with the job. What I really loved was the team building and leadership/team development opportunities that my managerial positions afforded.
Over these past 20 years I have had the incredibly good fortune of working with some of the finest, most creative, dedicated, humble leaders anyone could hope for. I've learned as much as I've shared. I feel honored to be trusted by such an esteemed collection of inspirational leaders, movers and shakers, community-centric connectors, and just plain fun individuals to be around. On an almost continual basis my faith in our collective humanity is restored and reinvigorated.
I am extremely grateful to all of you, my clients and friends, who have allowed me into your lives and honored me through your courage, your insatiable appetite for learning and your willingness to try on new ways of being in the world.
Thank you for being part of my 20 years of right livlihood!

He swiped his tongue across his lips. Gathering every tiny morsel that lingered there. Every droplet. Relishing the sweetness. Sticky and exquisite.
He wiped the back of his hand across his mouth and studied the scarlet smear left behind. How he loved the colour. Its deep intensity. The rich redness. He licked at the stain on his skin and breathed out a satisfied sigh.
Another victim was placed before him.
This one was paler than the last. But still beautiful.
His jaws opened wide, and he sunk his teeth in.
Warmth exploded in his mouth, and he smiled as a trickle of thick liquid dribbled down his chin and splashed onto the ground. A vibrant ruby dot on the grey concrete.
How long had he been living for this? This ecstasy. Had it been ten years? Twelve?
No, more.
Fifteen, at least. Yet the rush never left him. The euphoria of the conquest.
He reflected on his first time.
He had done it for her. He would have done anything for her. Anything she asked. He thought he loved her. That he needed nothing else. Until he committed to his first bite. Until he tasted that first triumph.
On that day he was changed forever.
And now he was the master. The king.
He closed his eyes, gloating at his power, and sunk his fingers into the ragged hole left by his teeth, desperate to feel the viscid of what lay inside—scoop it out and lick his fingers clean.
A gasp filled the auditorium.
His eyes snapped open, and he looked around at the sea of stunned faces.
What had he done?
As he stared at his hand, buried in the pastry with thick red goo oozing between his knuckles, the PA system crackled to life.
"Ladies and gentlemen. We have a shock disqualification. Under the rules of the international pie eating association, competitors must only touch the pie with their mouths. Which means, after a nine-year run, we have a new world champion."
The press jumped to their feet and a mass of flashlights exploded.
Billy blinked, trying to clear the black spots from in front of his eyes. He turned towards his competitor—his fingers still buried in the crust and cherry filling.
The other man's jaw was hanging—his own hands behind his back and food smeared across his face. "Dude," was all the man could say.
Heat rushed Billy's cheeks as he pulled his hand from the crumbling pie.
He had lost.
Six pies in and he forgot where he was, he forgot what he was doing, he let his mind wander and his concentration slip, and he lost.
He thought he was unbeatable. But he lost.
In one swift movement, he flipped the table over.
Jeers filled the room as empty pie tins tumbled and crashed to the floor—crumbs and jam splashing into the laps of the judges in the front row.
Billy stood, his chest rising and falling with deep, panicked breaths as the audience looked at him with wide, judgemental eyes.
He was no longer world champion.
He was no longer the master.
He was no longer king.
He had lost – and now he was nothing.

It always took time for David to get used to being in a house. After weeks of sleeping outdoors, curled under a tree, or dug into a den, the softness of a bed was strange and uncomfortable. The sound of traffic was deafening and the street lights unbearably bright. But the warmth of the body nestled beside him certainly made the experience more palatable.
He knew he shouldn't be there, naked and pressed up against Jaida. It was stupid. It was beyond stupid. It was colossally stupid.
He shifted on his pillow and recklessly rubbed his face in her hair, inhaling her scent deep into his senses. He could pick out her shampoo, her perfume, her soap. There was a hint of the bar's aroma from earlier that evening, a little trace of oregano from the pizza she had eaten, and his own musk. The one that set him apart. The one his pack followed.
"It'll just be for the night," he thought. Then he'd leave. Just one night.
From the moment she'd caught his eye across the room, he'd been fascinated. Something about Jaida captivated him in a way no human woman ever had. He was instantly drawn to her. He had to speak to her. Touch her. Breathe her in.
When she went to the restroom, he had followed her. Not thinking what that would look like. He wasn't up on dating etiquette.
He'd terrified her as it turned out. At six-foot-four, he towered over her petite frame. He'd apologised. Excused himself. But when he spied her still watching him from her seat at the bar, he made his move. If he'd been in his other form, he would have pounced.
He froze, holding his body rigid as Jaida shifted beside him. She stretched out her toes from under the sheets, making tiny mewing noises as she shuffled closer. Her leg wrapping over his. Her hand on his belly. Her soft cheek resting on his shoulder as she drifted back to sleep.
He should have left the moment she told him what she did. He should have got up and walked away. She was an animal behaviourist, who had just moved to the tiny Oregon town to study a new grey wolf pack that had been seen in the area.
His pack.
He was their alpha.
When the moon was waning, he became a man.
But the moon would be full again in a week. Then he would change.
He shook his head and whispered. "Dumb, dumb, dumb."
It was the kiss that had caused this monumental blunder. The one in the alley beside the bar. With her legs wrapped around his waist and her tongue in his mouth. That sealed his fate. Until then, it had just been a drink and some flirting. After that, it was so much more.
He had pushed her up against the wall and growled in her ear. A real growl. The one he would use in his other form. He'd felt her quiver below him at the sound, and he knew in that moment he was toast. He wanted her. He needed her. Fuck the consequences.
"Just two nights," he thought. Then he'd leave. Two nights. Three tops.
The dawn light peaked under the curtains. He hadn't slept. He usually didn't sleep at night. That was when he hunted.
Jaida shifted, her hand drifting down his torso, skimming the bones of his hips.
He puffed out an embarrassingly shaky breath.
"Morning," she said.
He turned towards her and without speaking, pressed his lips to hers.
He had a week. He could stay a week. Then, he'd leave.

My hair was dripping. Droplets trickled off my fringe into my eyes. My sweater hung sodden and heavy on my shoulders. My jeans swished, and my socks squelched.
I trudged miserably along the country road, swearing at myself for not bringing a raincoat, or a brolly, or a damn plastic bag. Anything to fend off this downpour.
I saw him in the distance, sitting on a fence under a tree, a dog by his feet.
"Nice day for it," he said, as I drew closer.
"For what?" I thought. "Drowning?" But I laughed politely and said, "If you're a duck."
A smile spread across his face. "Not even ducks would go out in this shit." He pushed a sopping curl from his eyes and peered up at the heavy sky. "It's a little better under here, if you want to wait it out with us?" He dipped his head towards the yellow lab leaning against his leg, looking wretched.
I nodded and watched as he shuffled out of the tree's protection and patted the wooden railing beside him.
"Now you're in the rain," I said, as I clambered onto the fence.
"I don't mind. Besides, my mum would kill me if I made you sit out in this deluge, while I was getting somewhat less wet."
"Well, thank you. This storm came out of nowhere, huh?" I felt like an idiot. Who goes for a walk, in weather like this? I tucked a bedraggled strand of hair behind my ear and gazed up at the branches offering me their meagre protection. "Apples," I said, spying the red fruit for the first time.
He jumped down from the fence, his feet landing in a puddle and spraying mud up his jeans. He grinned. Wide and toothy and dazzling. "Whoops."
Leaping into the air, he snatched an apple from a branch. The bough flicked back and sprayed us with more water.
We both screamed. Then laughed.
"Sorry about that. Like we needed to be more wet." He rubbed the red fruit on his soaked t-shirt and handed it to me with a bow of his head. "For you, Milady."
He blessed me with another stunning smile as I took the apple, then pushed himself back up onto the fence.
"My mum planted this tree," he said. "This is where she met my dad. On this very spot. On a day like today. Apples were his favourite. He died a couple of years ago." He gazed at the dog by his feet, reached his hand down and scratched the pup's ears. "She died yesterday. My mum."
I drew in a sharp breath. "Oh gosh. I'm so sorry."
He shrugged. "Thanks. You're the first person I've said that to. "She died. My mum died. It sounds so weird."
We sat wordlessly for a time, as the patter of raindrops on the leaves above us filled the silence. Two strangers side by side but a million miles apart.
On another day, we might have exchanged names. We might have gone for a coffee. We might have become friends, or maybe something more.
But he was at the beginning of a storm that raged beyond the one churning in the skies above us. A torrential, lashing, sunless storm.
He breathed out a weighty sigh and dropped onto the road. "Anyway, I guess I should go, I've got a bit to organise. Thanks for sitting with me. Enjoy the apple and your soggy stroll."
I watched as he jogged away with his dog by his side.
I looked up at the gloomy clouds that hung dark and pendulous above me, closed my eyes and let the rain pour down over my face. Then I wandered back towards the village, no longer bothered about being soaked. If getting rained on was the worst thing that happened to me today, I was lucky.
The Birthday Surprise – A Holly and Callum Short.
April 30, 2021 May 23, 2021 AmyLeave a comment
"What's that smell?" Holly took in a lung full of the stench wafting through the darkened room and coughed. "It stinks worse than you after Mexican food."
"Funny," Callum said. He breathed in the fetid air. "Sulphur. Which means it's a demon. Unless it's eggs. Or egg farts. Or an egg farting demon. Maybe that's its evil power. Egg farts."
She laughed and whacked him on the arm. "Idiot. Let's get this done and go home."
"Whatever you say, birthday girl."
Callum sat on the sofa. Bare chested. His t-shirt was in his hand, bunched-up and pressed against his leg. His jeans were torn where he'd slid along a gravel driveway, and an angry wound oozed through the hole in the denim.
Holly knelt on the floor in front of him. "Take your pants off too," she said.
He pushed himself up, dropped his jeans and stepped out of them. "If you wanted me naked, Holly, you just needed to say the word. Anyway, shouldn't you be the one in your birthday suit?"
Holly ignored him. Or at least tried to. It wasn't easy with Callum standing right in front of her, his tight, black boxer briefs practically at eye level.
"I don't think it needs stitching," she said, distracting herself by prodding at his leg.
"Ow. Careful."
"Stop being a baby."
"Hey. I didn't ask to get tossed out the door by a goddamn demon."
"Then you should've moved faster."
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?"
He laughed and bent forward, cupping her chin in his hand as he crushed his lips to hers.
She shimmied up his lean body and pressed into the warmth of his bare chest, her mouth still glued to his. When he gently pulled away, she almost squeaked in disappointment.
"I got you messy," he said, his voice little more than a growl.
"You sure did," Holly said, her heart racing. Then she followed his gaze to her shirt. "Oh. The blood."
"Well, hopefully both. But how about I look after my leg and you go clean up. I gotta surprise for you."
Holly scooped her wet hair into a messy bun and opened Callum's dresser. She slipped on a pair of his boxer briefs, teamed with the crystal earrings he gave her for Christmas, and nothing else. He wanted birthday suit, he was getting birthday suit.
"Don't come in the kitchen," he called as she walked down the hall.
She perched on a dining chair, sucking in everything that might roll.
He hobbled into the room, wearing a thick bandage around his knee and a World's Sexiest Cook apron around his waist, his eyes down as he concentrated on carrying a birthday cake ablaze with candles.
"Happy birthday to…" he looked up and froze. A crooked grin spread across his face. "Are those the earrings I gave you?"
Holly burst out laughing. "That's what you're noticing?"
"Also," He placed the cake on the table and turned around. "Great minds."
Holly's gaze locked on a firm, naked ass. "Is this my surprise?"
"Technically it was the cake, but…"
"Very nice butt."
"Do you wanna piece?"
"Of the cake, or you?"
"I'm voting me." He grabbed the waistband of her boxers and guided her into his arms. "This puts a whole new take on getting into my pants."
She reached around him and undid his apron ties. It fluttered to the floor. "I'm going to blow…"
Callum's eyebrows shot up.
"…those candles out," she said, turning and puffing out the flames.
He threw his head back and laughed, then gazed down at her, his green eyes sparkling. "I love you, Holly Daniels, you know that?"
She smiled, stood on her tiptoes and pressed her lips to his. She did know that.


A speedy track-ready Volvo? And it's a wagon? Oh, those crazy Swedes.
The word "fast" was never one I would have thought to use to describe a station wagon—that is, until I got behind the wheel of the 2017 Volvo Polestar V60 for an Arizona desert drive from Sedona to Phoenix.
As the performance wing of Volvo, Polestar has been merrily racing cars in Europe for 20 years. Now, a small number of road cars are receiving the Polestar treatment, and the V60 is one of them (a S60 sedan is another). Only 1,500 Polestar cars will be made worldwide for 2017, with about 200 destined for the USA. With this kind of low production volume, both vehicles are likely to become collectibles.
At first blush the Polestar V60 looks pretty much like the standard version that has been in the Volvo line-up for many years. But what distinguishes the models is Polestar's hue—what the Swedes call a "rebel blue" color—and a very discreet badge on the front grille. Only true car cognoscenti will know what they're seeing.
Under the hood, Polestar added a bigger turbocharger and a new supercharger, vastly improving the performance of the wagon's four-cylinder engine. Now rated at 367 horsepower, the wagon zips from zero to 60 miles per hour in very quick 4.5 seconds. There is also a new gearbox, software upgrades, and other internal performance tweaks, many of which contribute to the model's shedding of 44 pounds overall. And unlike the posh "Scandinavian spa" look of the new Volvo 90 series, the Polestar V60 interior is old-school Swedish sensible.
The car handles very well, like you'd expect from a track-capable car. There's also a sport plus mode that's perfect for putting the Polestar's racing influences to the test. To get there, I have to turn off the electronic stability control, shift sideways into sport mode, shift forward, and then double click on the "minus" paddle shifter. A little light on the instrument display winks to let me know the car's ready to take off. It's all very stealthy, until I hit 95 miles per hour, speeding like a blue comet. $61,600; volvocars.com.

My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry. Book Review.
My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Backman is a heartbreaking and hilarious look at childhood, loss, grieving, family and community.
Author of A Man Called Ove, this book has everything that was delightful about his most well-known work but is, arguably, more charming. Grandmother follows around Elsa, a seven-going-on-eight-year-old, over the course of a few days when she loses her best friend, her grandmother. The two of them had an incredible bond and share the fairytale land, Miamas, where Elsa learns about love and bravery. Upon her grandmother's death, Elsa is sent on a quest that introduces her to the people in her grandmother's life, and her own.
The story is told effectively from this fiercely intelligent seven-year-old point of view, where the world is still simple, but complicated, steeped in imagination, and yet deeply knowledgeable about the things that are oh, so real.
This book made me laugh out loud, and cry like a seven-year-old. It is sweet and memorable. It's an incredible reflection on what it's like to be a child and a human, what matters, what doesn't, and the power of relationships in our lives. I also liked this book even more than Ove because the tone is so sweet and interesting.

This is a header only C++ library that offers an easy-to-use Timer class.

You just need to include the header file `cxxtimer.hpp` and that's it. You can aready instantiate `cxxtimer::Timer` objects to time your C++ programs.

## Quick Start

The code below shows how to use **cxxtimer** library.

```cpp
#include <cxxtimer.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {

    // Instantiate cxxtimer::Timer object
    cxxtimer::Timer timer;

    // Start the timer
    timer.start();

    // Wait for the users
    std::string input_1;
    std::cout << "Please, type something and press ENTER to continue: ";
    std::getline(std::cin, input_1);

    // Stop/pause the timer
    timer.stop();

    // Get the elapsed time
    std::cout << "You took " << timer.count<std::chrono::seconds>() << " seconds." << std::endl;
    std::cout << "You took " << timer.count<std::chrono::milliseconds>() << " milliseconds." << std::endl;
    std::cout << "You took " << timer.count<std::chrono::nanoseconds>() << " nanoseconds." << std::endl;

    return 0;
}
```

The `cxxtimer::Timer` class can be resumed after stop/pause. You just need to call `timer.start()` again. Furthermore, you can reset the timer as well. For this, you can call the method `timer.reset()`. After calling `timer.reset()`, the timer will be paused, so you have to call `timer.start()` to start to time again.

## Constructors and Methods

### Constructors

```cpp
cxxtimer::Timer(bool start = false)
```

If the parameter `start` is set to `true`, the timer will be started just after its construction. If set to `false` or ignored, the timer won't be automatically started after construction.

Besides the constructor above, the copy constructor

```cpp
cxxtimer::Timer(const Timer& other)
```
and the move constructor
```cpp
Timer(Timer&& other)
```
are defined.

### start

Start/resume the timer.

```cpp
void cxxtimer::start()
```

### stop

```cpp
void cxxtimer::stop()
```

Stop/pause the timer. After calling the method `stop()`, every call to `count()` will return the same value. To start timing again, you have to call `start()`.

### reset

```cpp
void cxxtimer::reset()
```

Stop the timer and reset it. After calling the method `reset()`, every call to `count()` will return zero. To start timing again, you have to call `start()`.

### count

```cpp
template <class duration_t = std::chrono::milliseconds>
typename duration_t::rep count() const
```

It returns the time elapsed so far. By default, it return the time in milliseconds. However, you can specify the precision you want. For example, to get the time in seconds, you can call `count<std::chrono::seconds>()`. The following options are available:
- `std::chrono::nanoseconds` for nanoseconds.
- `std::chrono::microseconds` for microseconds.
- `std::chrono::milliseconds` for milliseconds (default).
- `std::chrono::seconds` for seconds.
- `std::chrono::minutes` for minutes.
- `std::chrono::hours` for hours.

## Linking

This is a header only library.

## Requirements

The only build requirement is a C++ compiler that supports C++11, since `cxxtimer.hpp` library depends on C++ library `chrono`. For example GCC >= 5.0 or clang >= 3.4.

Bob and the Monster
Tuesday, June 21 At 1:15 p.m. at Discover HD Theater; also on Saturday, June 25 at 6:15 p.m. at AFI Silver 3.
by Jonathan L. Fischer June 17th, 2011 August 29th, 2020
Bob Forrest is lucky he still has friends willing to be talking heads in his documentary. In the '80s and early '90s, Forrest led Thelonious Monster, which emerged from the same funk-meets-hard-rock Hollywood scene as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, and Fishbone. Everyone in that world was a junkie, Courtney Love tells us, and she would know. But no frontman was as plainly self-destructive as Forrest, whose drug-addled lyrics were manic and undecorated in the Kerouac vein, and who carried his shambolic personal life on stage every night. Allegedly, he once told a crowd at the old 9:30 Club to kill George H.W. Bush. He betrayed friends and bandmates for drugs and money, but he's since atoned by becoming an addiction counselor specializing in post-rock n' roll rehab. In some ways, Bob and the Monster is an advertisement for Forrest's Hollywood Recovery Services, which he founded after several years directing the addiction program at an L.A. treatment center. But director Keirda Bahruth is mostly interested in Forrest's decade of hard living, devoting too little time to the ex-rocker's sober years. Late in the film, Forrest offers a compelling critique of the addiction-recovery industry and hints at his own unusual methods: Rather than treat patients who are on drugs like methadone and suboxone, which are used to wean addicts off of opiates, Forrest says he'd have them go back to heroin for two months and then help them get clean. We don't hear much more about his methodology, just a sales pitch for his new company. "I got grandiose motherfucking plans for this," Forrest says. "This is punk rock—punk-rock recovery."

Exxon Vows to Spend $50B in U.S.
Exxon plans to increase oil production in the Permian basin in Texas and New Mexico, build new manufacturing plants and expand current operations.
DALLAS (AP) — Exxon's CEO says the oil company will invest more than $50 billion over the next five years to expand its business in the U.S.
Chairman and CEO Darren Woods said Monday that the investments are possible because of the company's strength, helped by the recent law that cut taxes on corporations.
In a blog on the Exxon website, Woods said that Exxon plans to increase oil production in the Permian basin in Texas and New Mexico, build new manufacturing plants and expand current operations. He said the initiatives will create "thousands" of jobs and increase energy security.
"These investments are underpinned by the unique strengths of our company and enhanced by the historic tax reform recently signed into law," Woods said.
Exxon reported $11.3 billion in profit in the first nine months of 2017, already far surpassing its earnings for all of 2016 as oil prices recovered from a two-year slump. Still, Exxon profits are down sharply from the $44.9 billion it posted in 2012.
Woods said the new investments are in addition to Exxon's $20 billion plan to build refining, chemical and export facilities along the Texas Gulf Coast over 10 years. Last March, the company and President Donald Trump praised each other for making those investments possible, although some of them began more than three years before Trump became president.
Business leaders have praised the new tax law, which cut the corporate income-tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. Republicans say the law will spur growth and create jobs. Democrats say it favors the wealthy and adds to the federal budget deficit.
Shares of Irving, Texas-based Exxon Mobil Corp. fell 99 cents to close at $88.01 on Monday. They have gained 3 percent in the last 12 months.

We're glad you're here! Whether you've attended church your whole life or never set foot inside a church before, Christ Church is a safe place to bring your needs, doubts, questions and curiosity, regardless of your beliefs or background. We invite you to come and take a look around. We have wonderful programs for children, youth, and adults alike.
What time are services held?
How do I find out about weddings and baptisms?
How do I become a member of Christ Church Oyster Bay?
What should I wear to Sunday worship?
Everyone is welcome to attend any of the services we offer including our Sunday Eucharists at 8:00 a.m. (Spoken) and 10:00 a.m. (Sung). Nursery Childcare is available from 8:45-11:30 on Sunday mornings, in Noah's Nursery in the Parish Hall. Sunday School (ages 4-11) begins at 10:00 a.m. in the Parish Hall, and the children return to church in time to receive the Eucharist with their families. During Lent, we gather for a Lenten program on Wednesday evenings at 6:15 pm, starting with a simple supper.
Your questions may be answered on the Weddings and Baptisms pages. It is essential to speak to the Rector about a wedding or baptism well in advance of choosing a date or making any other arrangements. For initial inquiries, please contact Peggy Heijmen, our Parish Administrator. She can be reached at (516) 922 - 6377 or via email: office@christchurchoysterbay.org.
If you have been a member at another Episcopal Church (or a church of another denomination), and wish to have your membership transferred here, call the Parish Office and we'll tell you how to accomplish that. The Sacrament of Confirmation or the option of Reception into the Episcopal Church are formal ways of indicating your membership, in addition to the Church's fundamental rite of initiation, which is Baptism. The Bishop presides at Confirmation (and Reception), while a Priest may preside at Baptism.
It means that you attend regularly, and as the Prayer Book says, you work, pray and give for the sake of the kingdom of God, as its vision is expressed here at Christ Church Oyster Bay.
In addition to the loose offerings taken up during collections, we carry out our mission through annual pledges made by our members. Our work wouldn't happen without these commitments. A pledge is not a contract, but they are essential when drawing up our annual budgets and plans for each year. We won't badger you about money, but we will be honest with you about our hopes and vision, and the amount needed to realize them. We will invite you to think about what proportion of your resources you wish to give to God, as an expression of gratitude and a mark of commitment.
It doesn't matter! Some people dress more formally, others casually. At Christ Church you may be greeted by an usher wearing a sports jacket and shorts, prior to sitting beside a teenager in sweat pants and sneakers, or an elegantly dressed lady wearing pearls and a fancy bonnet. Whatever you wear, someone in the congregation will probably be dressed in a similar style.

Golden Globes 2023: Rihanna steals the show with beau A$AP Rocky
She may have skipped the red carpet but Rihanna still ended up being the star of the show at the 80th annual Golden Globe Awards on Tuesday in Beverly Hills.
She was captured giggling beside her beau A$AP Rocky in the audience as she received random acknowledgements from host Jerrod Carmichael and presenters.
After the ceremony, the loved-up duo posed for photos backstage and mingled with award recipients like Angela Bassett.
The musician-turned-mogul, 34, snagged her first-ever Golden Globe nomination this year for her song Lift Me Up from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.

Actress Niecy Nash, who was one of the evening's presenters, kicked off the Rihanna-centered dialogue when admitting on stage that she had dressed as the Diamonds singer this past Halloween.
'Rihanna, I love you, and I dressed up as you for Halloween. I just had to say that. All right. Had to take my moment,' said the Dahmer star, before announcing the winner for best actress in a TV series, musical or comedy.
Later in the night, Billy Porter made a callback to Niecy's admission by stating that if he 'believed in Halloween, I'd have dressed up like Rihanna, too.'

But it was host Jerrod Carmichael who made the most 'controversial' remark when he shared his opinion regarding Rihanna's long-awaited ninth studio album.
Fans have long harassed the singer on social media to 'hurry up' since she hasn't released an album in its entirety since 2016's Anti.
'You know what? Honestly only because I see Rihanna is here, and I'm going to say something very controversial,' said Jerrod, adding: 'I will actually get in trouble for this.'
He then exclaimed: 'Rihanna, you take all the time you want on that album, girl! Don't let these fools on the internet pressure you into nothing!'

Gotta admit it! Actress Niecy Nash, who was one of the evening's presenters, kicked off the Rihanna-centered dialogue when she admitted on stage that she'd dressed as the Diamonds singer this past Halloween
The camera then flashed to Rihanna who could be seen cackling in her seat.
Later in the evening, Rihanna was captured mingling with Black Panther star Angela Bassett, who won the Golden Globe for best supporting actress in a film for her role.
The win made history as she became the first-ever performer to earn a Golden Globe for acting in a Marvel film.
Rihanna also kindly snapped a selfie with a dapper looking fan in the audience.
Lift Me Up from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack broke Rihanna's three-year music single when it premiered in October.
Me too! Later in the night, Billy Porter made a callback to Niecy's admission by stating that if he 'believed in Halloween, I'd have dressed up like Rihanna, too'
A press release revealed that the song was created 'as a tribute to the extraordinary life and legacy of Chadwick Boseman.'
The late Boseman shocked fans when he died in 2020, after keeping his battle with colon cancer completely private. He was the star of the first Black Panther film, which stole the hearts of audiences in 2018.
Before this, the last time fans heard the Fenty Beauty CEO's three-octave mezzo-soprano pipes was when she was featured on PartyNextDoor's 2020 song Believe It.
The Golden Globes ceremony is being held once again at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills following a one year break from screens amid controversy over ethical lapses and a lack of diversity.
Now the embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association – which puts on the Globes – is seeking a primetime comeback.

Yellowstone finally made the list of Golden Globes nominees after repeated snubs from the film and TV industry, with a Best Actor in a Drama Series nomination for star Kevin Costner.
The Banshees of Inisherin starring Colin Farrell won the most nominations – eight – while Everything Everywhere All At Once won six.
Elvis, Avatar: The Way of Water and Top Gun: Maverick were all nominated for Best Picture while The Crown won an array of nominations.
The White Lotus swept the Limited Series categories, with actresses Jennifer Coolidge and Aubrey Plaza winning nominations for Best Supporting Actresses.
Brendan Fraser won a nomination for Best Actor for his role in The Whale, however he previously vowed not to attend the show in a boycott of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

He previously accused Philip Berk – the now banned former HFPA president who called BLM a 'hate movement – of groping him at a luncheon.
Jennifer Coolidge and Aubrey Plaza were both nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series for their roles in Season 2 of The White Lotus.
The series was also nominated for Best Limited Series. Dahmer, the Netflix hit about the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, won four nominations.
Austin Butler was nominated for Best Actor in a Drama for his role in Elvis, which also claimed a nomination for Best Picture.
Elizabeth Debicki was nominated for her role as Princess Diana in The Crown, while Jonathan Pryce was nominated for his role as Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.
The 2023 awards marks a return to air for the embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HPFA) since it overhauled its organization following a racism row in 2021.
Ana de Armas won a nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her role as Marilyn Monroe in Blonde. Viola Davis was also nominated for Best Actress for her role in The Woman King
The HFPA scandal erupted in 2021 when it emerged there were no black members among the 87-person association.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler called out the association live during their 2021 opening monologue in February of that year.
'The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is made up of around 90 international no black journalists who attend movie junkets each year in search of a better life.
'We say around 90 because a couple of them might be ghosts,' Fey said.
Stars threatened to boycott the awards and Tom Cruise, who had won three Globes in the past, vowed to return them all unless the association changed its ways.
In April, the association's former president Phil Berk was fired for his resistance to BLM.
Kevin Costner won a nomination for his role as John Dutton in Yellowstone in the Best Actor in a TV series – Drama category
The Banshees of Inisherin starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson won eight nominations
He sent an email to other members with a link to an article in which the organization was compared to cult murderer Charles Manson.
The article in Frontpagemag.com claimed BLM was trying to incite a 'race war'.
The 2023 Globes will be hosted by black comedian Jerrod Carmichael. There are 27 awards up for grabs.
The Golden Globe Awards honor the best in film and American television as voted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. They are also considered the unofficial kick-off to awards season which culminates with The Oscars on March 12.
Previously announced Golden Globe Award winner and six-time nominee Eddie Murphy will be the recipient of the 2023 Cecil B. DeMille Award.
Five-time Golden Globe Award winner and sixteen-time nominee Ryan Murphy will receive the Carol Burnett Award.
Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Quentin Tarantino and Billy Porter are among the stars presenting awards at the show.
The 2023 Globes will be hosted by black comedian Jerrod Carmichael. Carmichael is the show's first ever black solo host
As the awards show has been accused of having a lack of diversity, perhaps the HFPA wanted to steer clear of controversy as Will Smith, 54, did not receive a nomination for film Emancipation months after his infamous slap of Chris Rock at The Oscars.
Meanwhile Jennifer Lawrence, 32, was also ignored for indie film Causeway.
Keke Palmer also did not earn a recognition for her transcendent performance in Jordan Peele's horror/sci-fi flick Nope.
Julia Roberts and George Clooney also failed to be recognized for their romantic comedy Ticket To Paradise which earned an impressive $70million in the worldwide box office.
Hollywood had effectively boycotted the Globes. It used to be one of the most-watched award shows after the Academy Awards.
NBC had reason to want to get the Globes back on the air.
In 2018, the network signed an eight-year deal to continue airing the awards through 2026.
The last Globes was in 2021 when Amy Poehler and Tina Fey hosted a mostly virtual event. During their opening monologue, they slammed the HFPA for not having any black members
Citing the HFPA's ongoing reforms, NBC elected not to televise the previous Golden Globes in January. The organization went ahead announcing awards, anyway, in an untelevised and little-noticed gathering unattended by nominees.
This year´s ceremony, the organizations said, will be broadcast in a one-year agreement.
Terms were unavailable but the deal is expected to be less than the approximately $60 million the network previously paid annually to air the Globes. With backlash swirling and the ceremony scaled down because of the pandemic, the 2021 Globes were watched by 6.9 million people, according to Nielsen, down from more than 18 million the year before.
Whether NBC's endorsement will be enough to return the Globes to Hollywood's good graces, however, remains to be seen. Nominations for the Globes were announced on December 12.
The HFPA is currently being run by interim Chief Executive Todd Boehly, whose investment firm, Eldridge Industries, bought the Globes and turned it from a nonprofit into a for-profit venture.
Boehly's firm is also the parent company of dick clark productions, the awards' producer, and the owner of the Globes' longtime home, the Beverly Hilton.
The 80th annual Golden Globe Awards will air on NBC and streaming service Peacock on Tuesday, January 10 at 8pm EST/5pm PST.

Prince Harry accuses royals of trying to 'undermine' his explosive memoir Spare
NBA ROUND-UP: Steph Curry's return is soured as the Warriors are stunned by a depleted Suns team


Broken and humiliated, Remy Duval must play the defeated prisoner to the sadistic Colonel Freedom while he plans his escape and return to Earth.
The Colonel and his crew are after answers to the uprising on LX-925 when new orders send them to TL-311, a planet recently conquered from an alien race called the Vorman. Half his lieutenants are sent down to the surface with their own teams to test their leadership. The mission: to seek out and eradicate any Vorman that remain behind.
With half the staff remaining behind, Remy expects to get his chance to take over the ship and make his escape…until Colonel Freedom sends him down to the planet with Lieutenant Anders. When things couldn't get any worse, they find out too late there are more than just a few Vorman waiting on the surface.
The introduction to Hell is over…now it's time for Remy to burn.
I can talk about my characters and stories far more easily than I can talk about myself. The best way to learn about me is through those stories. Writing primarily science fiction, I enjoy worlds and universes that aren't so black and white. Every story has something to say, and every message is not as straight-forward as it seems. We tend to boil ourselves down and define ourselves according to neat labels, whether by race, gender, political identity, or whatever; and the truth is, we're more complicated than that. I try to write worlds and characters that reflect that complexity and diversity of belief.
In the early 23rd century, four nations dominate interstellar travel. Their programs have remained a mystery to the people of Earth, including their own people, and the UN wants to know why. Previous inspectors have yielded little insightful information. Dr. Remy Duval is the latest to venture into the unknown.


The Master of Science in Computer Science (Game Development) program graduates students with a strong foundation in computer science, an engineering-oriented game development core, and a focus in key areas of game development, such as infrastructure, cognition and games, immersion, serious games, etc. Immediately upon graduation, students will be capable of engineering next generation games and simulations and their required technologies for the entertainment and serious game industry. Additionally, graduates from this program will be able to further their education in graduate programs in game development and computer science.

There is no cumulative examination required for the degree.
A minimum grade point average of 3.00 must be earned on all course work applied toward the M.S. degree and all graduate course work taken at USC.
A maximum of 8 units may be taken from the approved 400-level courses.
Internship and Thesis credits cannot count as elective units toward the degree.
CSCI 590 Directed Research is a variable unit course, and can be taken for one or two units. A maximum of two units can apply toward the degree.

The Swedish Association for American Studies (SAAS) is an inspiring academic network that encourages scholarship in the multidisciplinary field of American Studies. SAAS seeks to develop a critical understanding of the role, place, and meaning of the United States and North America. In Sweden, research about the US/America is conducted in many different disciplines; SAAS thus functions as an important forum for interdisciplinary exchange and encounters between American Studies scholars.
On October 4–5, 2019, SAAS together with SINAS at Uppsala University will arrange a Graduate Student Workshop at Stockholm University. The workshop is open to all PhD Students affiliated with a university in Sweden. The purpose of the workshop is twofold: to give students the chance of presenting their research and receive feedback from senior academics and other scholars, as well as to develop doctoral students' awareness and knowledge of American Studies as a research field. You find more information in the Call for Papers. The deadline for registration is June 14. Please use the registration form for your application.
The first edition of the SAAS Newsletter has been published. The newsletter contains an overview of the field of American Studies in Sweden for the year 2018. It is the hope and intention of the SAAS board that the newsletter and "State of the Field" will become a recurring feature, to be published annually in the spring. Please follow this link to find the 2018 newsletter.
The twenty-sixth biennial conference of the Nordic Association for American Studies (NAAS) will take place in Bergen, Norway, on 25–27 April 2019. The theme is "Monuments." Please see the conference website, for the program and more information.
On September 28-30, 2018, we were happy to host 80 participants from sixteen countries during the 10th Biennial SAAS Conference in Stockholm. Thank you to our keynote speakers, paper presenters, student assistants, and attendees for making this event – the largest SAAS conference to-date – a both stimulating and memorable one. We hope to see you all in 2020.
For more information, please visit the 2018 conference website and see the conference program.
ASiS is seeking exciting and vibrant articles from a broad range of scholarly fields relating to American Studies. For more information, see the ASiS Call for Articles or the ASiS website.

The taxpayer (and this could be a sole trader, trust, partnership or company) carries on a business or professional practice.
There is a trust or company that is owned or controlled by the taxpayer or their associates.
The taxpayer enters into an agreement with the service entity for the service for the taxpayer to pay certain fees in exchange for the service entity providing certain services. These services could include staff hire, premises, administration services, and plant or equipment.
The service fees are calculated by way of a mark-up over all of the costs of the service entity.
The taxpayer claims a deduction for service fees incurred as an expense in conducting its business.
The service arrangement gives rise to profits in the service entity which are either retained by the service entity (if a company) or diverted to the taxpayer's associates (if a trust).
Historically service entities have been used by professional persons (i.e. accountants, doctors, dentists, etc.) to divert part of their professional income away from themselves to an associated trust. The beneficiaries of the associated trust are usually family members in lower tax brackets, so overall tax savings are made.
To avoid the ATO challenging the service arrangement the mark-up charged by the service entity trust needs to be commercial and arms-length and comply with TR 2006/2.
