Lawsuits can take a long time to settle and while waiting to the lawsuit money, many plaintiffs struggle to find cash to pay their bills during litigation. Lawsuit advance companies in the U.S. help clients who are involved in personal injury lawsuits get cash relief before they settle their claim. Pre-settlement funding providers offer lawsuit loans and case advances to victims who are entitled to receive financial compensation from a pending injury case. With lawsuit loans, the provider advances the cash you need to pay your bills while your lawsuit is pending, allowing you to focus on recovering from your injuries and winning maximum compensation from your settled case.
Who can benefit from a lawsuit advance?
Case advances offer many benefits to litigants who need cash now while their lawsuit drags on. Lawsuit advances are designed to help clients who need funds to tide them over until they recover financial compensation from a pending lawsuit (or injury claim).
If you have a lawsuit that has significant value and you're faced with a financial crisis, you may be considering a quick settlement by taking the insurance claim adjuster's low-ball offer to settle. A lawsuit advancement offers you the benefit of getting cash before your case is settled so you can cover your living expenses and continue fighting the insurance company or defendant for a fair lawsuit payout.
Do I need to have a lawyer to qualify for pre-settlement funding?
One of the basic eligibility requirements for qualifying for pre-settlement funding is that the borrower has an attorney representing them in an injury case. Having a lawyer working on your behalf to file a lawsuit is requisite to taking out a pre-settlement advance through Cochran Cash. If you have an attorney and are considering a lawsuit advance, our legal funding team will contact your attorney for some information about your claim so we can determine how much funding you can get from your expected lawsuit money.
When can you take out an advance on your lawsuit?
Claimants can apply to take out a pre-settlement advance during any stage of their personal injury lawsuit or workers compensation claim. In fact, our lawsuit financial institution has provided lawsuit advances to litigants during the pre-litigation stage, discovery phase, and even during appeals. If adequate time has already passed for your attorney to have sufficient information about your case, such as liability, damages, and insurance coverage data, one of our pre-settlement funding underwriters can consider your case for funding.
What is the process of qualifying for a lawsuit cash advancement?
At Cochran Cash, our pre-settlement funding team makes the process of qualifying for a lawsuit advance fast, simple, and hassle-free to claimants who need cash assistance prior to the settlement of their injury case. With a lawsuit advance, the pre-settlement funding provider gives you access to a portion of your lawsuit money before your case is settled. Therefore, you do not have to undergo a credit check. All you have to do to borrow money from your lawsuit is fill out the quick application form on this page and we'll take care of the rest by working with your law firm.
Cash in Your Hands: We send the funds directly to you by same day delivery.
How do I get cash from my lawsuit today?
If you're ready to get started, begin the lawsuit advance process by filling out the pre-settlement funding application or calling us to do an application right over the phone during stand business hours.

I never thought I'd ever say this, but…
In Free-thinking, media, Politics, Scoundrels on January 27, 2017 at 11:05 am
I never thought I'd say this, but here goes: Since Donald Trump took office, I have developed a grudging respect for politicians. The very statement irks me to the point I feel nauseous. I have interviewed so many politicians, and found them, without exception, to be self-serving, and flexible with the truth. They revile me. They live in a filter-bubble of their own construct; they have to if they want to survive. And that's why Trump won't.
I once interviewed President Jimmy Carter. No matter what question I threw at him, he either delivered a brief, punchy answer, stepped to one side and deflected it, or spun it, creating the opportunity to talk about a pet project. It was a demonstration of the skill of a seasoned politician.
But all that comes with experience in dealing with the news media, who can be obstreperous at the best of times. They have to be. Part of their job is to hold politicians to account – tackle them at every turn, ensuring they do what's right for the people, not for themselves. A successful politician is one that knuckles down, keeps their nose clean – or at least away from the media – and plays the game: remain sufficiently high profile to show they're doing their job, but away from the spotlight when they're not. And on those occasions when they fail, and they will fail, they need to endure the inevitable media backlash and, often brutal, public rebuke. It hurts; but if they stick it out, they'll toughen up, even become impervious.
What they can not be, is thin-skinned. This is why successful business people usually make bad politicians – they are used to blind acquiescence from those lower in the hierarchy and selective accountability to a familiar higher authority. Being publicly challenged by a mainstream media with a mission to find fault is, for them, unsettling and annoying.
Donald Trump is the wrong person for the position of US President, for reasons already suggested: he is arrogant, selfish, bigoted, misogynist, ignorant, and delusional; hell, I'd venture to say he's batshit crazy. But it's his inexperienced, reactive, ill-tempered response to criticism in the media that will be his undoing.
The question is, how many people will suffer on his way down?
Fake news? Nothing new.
In media, Politics, Scoundrels on January 24, 2017 at 8:47 am
Mainstream media is getting all frothy about 'fake news' as if it's a new thing. It isn't of course. So why all the bother? There are two reasons, but before I get to them, let me explain why it's nothing new.
I took this photo while walking past my local newsagent on the Sunday after the death of Muammar Gaddafi, the deposed leader of Libya, on 20th October 2011. The paper claimed that according to an autopsy, Gadaffi was…well, you can read it in the headline.
Now you have to be a special kind of stupid to believe something like that, and yet there would have been readers breathlessly repeating this story over a beer or a cup of tea later that day. Of course, there would have been others who would've laughed about it.
The fact is, it was written by a 'journalist', edited and then published by a mainstream newspaper. All along the process, it would've been known the story was fake, but it was published nonetheless.
But there was a subtle nod to the possible dodgy nature of the story in the masthead. UK tabloids such as The Sun, The Mirror, Daily Star and Sunday Sport, publicly herald their tabloid nature right there on the front page, in their title: white, on a red background. It's almost like a warning flag: 'herein lies possible fake news'. In a way, it's honest subterfuge.
And that's one of the reasons why the fake news you're hearing about in the mainstream news is such a big deal: it's more insidious. It appears alongside real news under mastheads that seem so, well, 'non-tabloid'. Readers no longer have the red tab to warn them. The people writing the stories also don't seem to do so with a wry eye; more with the equivalence of malice aforethought. To make things worse, the stories are finding a firm footing in that most unguarded of news outlets: social media.
The second reason for the noise about 'fake news' is tied to the fact that it's running amok from the conceiving grasp of mainstream media; and there's a word for that: guilt.

Capped by the tallest makuti thatched roof on Zanzibar, the Essque Zalu combines bold tradition with contemporary élan, offering everything from all-suite accommodation to innovative spa treatments and an oversized infinity pool. The dining is a further highlight, spread over three venues, including one particularly enticing offering that spreads out over the water. It all enjoys a secluded setting, perched above a near-private cove beach and just a short reach from a lively village.
The all-suite rooms are superb, all neatly combining minimalist-chic furnishings with Swahili accents in the form of wooden chests and exposed timber beams. While all enjoy gorgeous private-garden settings with sitting areas shaded by giant palm fronds, those with sea views are particular favourites, more like small, independent villas. For the real deal, look to one of the multi-room Residences, which feature their own private spas and plunge pools.
If the next-door beach isn't enough, you'll want to spend your time sipping cocktails by the giant infinity pool; it's become something of a resort icon. Alternatively, book into the spa, where treatments range from body wraps to Indian head massages and bespoke facials. For those who want to get active, look no further than the water-sports on offer. The snorkelling, diving and kayaking are special highlights. Otherwise, pay a visit to a local village and spice farm, or go out in search of the island's giant tortoises and red colobus monkeys.
However, it's perhaps the dining that stands out most. Along with the light snacks on offer at the two bars, the Market Kitchen dishes up everything from just-caught seafood to breads straight from the oven. The aforementioned Jetty, though, is the highlight. Lunging out over the azure Zanazbari waters, you'll be able to dine on perfectly grilled steaks and lobster as the sun dips below the horizon. Inspired? Book onto a Tanzanian cookery class, held in a delightfully rustic thatched-roof house.

Tax thread runs through pharma deals
"Even before the Treasury proposals were announced, there was a huge amount of interest in doing these deals because they can create millions in cost savings."
- Christopher Cox, co-chair of Cadwalader's Corporate Group, commenting in the Financial Times regarding the surge in "inversions," whereby a company uses an overseas transaction to relocate its headquarters, since the U.S. government revealed plans to tighten the rules allowing U.S. companies to re-domicile their tax base. Cox, who advised Ireland's Elan on its $8.6 billion inversion deal with Perrigo last year, added, however, that the pace of enquiries by U.S. companies has stepped up markedly in the past six weeks.

A bank account is where you can store your money. You will need one to receive Centrelink benefits or wage payments, or just simply to keep your savings.
To open a bank account, you will need personal identification such as a birth certificate, student card, Medicare card, your driver's licence or passport, or a combination of these. If you are under the age of 14, you may have to ask your parent or guardian to co-sign for the account. You should check with the bank what they require from you.
When you are opening a bank account, make sure you understand what fees you will need to pay for keeping the account. You should keep all the information concerning your bank account together in a safe and dry place, including your monthly or quarterly statements.
A joint bank account is one that you have with someone else, usually your partner. This account is owned and can be accessed by both of you. If one of you dies, the remaining account owner owns the account.
If you and your partner have a joint account and you break up, you should close the account and ensure that your salary or Centrelink benefits are paid into your own personal account.
You are normally issued with a bankcard and PIN so that you can access your money by withdrawing it from ATMs or using eftpos in shops. You should never write down your PIN anywhere near where you keep your card, or disclose your PIN number or provide your bankcard to another person. If you do, you risk them accessing your money without your permission or stealing it. The bank may not reimburse you for the stolen money if you have given the person permission to access your account by telling them the PIN.
If you lose your bankcard you should tell your bank immediately (dedicated lost card contact details are generally available on the bank's website) and if you suspect it stolen, you should call the police immediately.
If you intend to travel overseas and use your bankcard you should notify your bank or financial institution in advance – they may suspect fraud if transactions appear from another country and you haven't let them know you are travelling.
Tip: Emails that seem to be from your bank asking for your log in details are often scams. If you have any doubt at all, call your bank instead.

Ashutosh Banerjee, general manager of GE Healthcare Diagnostic Cardiology
Blog | Ashutosh Banerjee, general manager of GE Healthcare Diagnostic Cardiology Wearables| August 29, 2019
Welcoming Apple to the World of ECG
The Apple Watch is being used to help identify and track Afib in the general population.
Atrial fibrillation, or Afib, kills about 130,000 people worldwide every year. It also affects 3 to 6 million people in the United States alone and is a leading factor in prolonged hospital stays, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It also is one heart condition that can be diagnosed using a single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) device. There are now several types of single-lead wearable ECG monitors available on the market.
When Apple entered the fray to detect Afib with its single-lead device – the Apple Watch – many people looked to me for my reaction, expecting something like, "Oh, terrific, here comes Apple, moving in on the territory I've built a career on within GE Healthcare."
Apple is the leader in wearables and wants to keep it that way, so its strategy is to increase the usefulness of its Apple Watch by adding more functionality. Tim Cook has also publicly announced his intent that "Apple's greatest contribution to mankind will be about health."
For more than four decades, we at GE Healthcare have been in the field of early detection and diagnosis of heart problems, ranging from coronary artery disease (including ischemia and myocardial infarction), sudden cardiac death (SCD), Afib and more.
During this time, we have built up expertise in the automated interpretation of ECGs, a critical test in any diagnosis of heart disease. Our algorithms – led by our flagship 12-lead algorithm (12SL) – provide information to a clinician with a high level of accuracy.
So, certainly, you can guess my response to the news of the Apple Watch and Stanford heart study.
Incredulity, right?
Disdain, of course?
Fear, no doubt?
Hardly. I welcome more and more players in wearables. Today's patient is better informed and needs to be better empowered to make his or her health decisions alongside clinicians, and wearables play a critical role.
The buzz about Apple Watch and Stanford caused a renewed interest in wearables and their application in home health care, which is good for the industry as it improves awareness not only for wearables but for heart disease vigilance.
In fact, the Apple Heart study found Afib in 0.5 percent of the population, with about an 84 percent specificity, which is the ability of the test to correctly identify those without the disease.
It is worth noting that the specificity of our FDA-cleared algorithm – EK12 – for Afib is about 98 percent, as is documented in the Physician's Guide for EK12.
A specificity of 84 percent means that 16 percent of the normal population will be identified as having the disease, which is significant in terms of the number of false calls.
Overcoming a Tsunami of Healthcare Data
Ultimately all medical devices and solutions must satisfy the clinicians, who are accountable to patients. One of clinicians' greatest pain points is "Data Deluge." We must manage and triage that data because wearables will continue to generate false positives that will need to be vetted and interpreted. We at GE Healthcare are best positioned to do that, given our high level of specificity.
To make sure we can have an impact in the new world of wearables and digital health, GE Healthcare took some key steps three years ago.
We made the strategic decision to find partners to work with in digital solutions to give us greater speed to market. In January 2019, we launched Ambulatory Suite at Arab Health in UAE, and it is available commercially today in the United States. The suite is a solution to detect Afib, using patch-based ECG devices (the same kind used to confirm the Apple Watch ECG for Afib in the Apple Heart study) for patients at home under the care of a prescribing clinician.
What makes our solution unique is that it is completely integrated with MUSE, our ECG ecosystem that we constantly enhance; we just added 24/7 continuous ECGs (MCT), event monitors and short-term and long-term Holter services that are orderable through MUSE with reports coming back to MUSE. Thanks to our Ambulatory Suite, for the first time, a clinician can get one longitudinal view of the ECG – whether taken at home or in the clinic or hospital – which can help in better diagnosis and decisions within the care pathway.
What is more, we aim to make all our solutions open; MUSE connects to all kinds of systems – whether or not made by GE Healthcare, and the user can take in and display ECGs regardless of which device they originated on. The MUSE is the gateway to all ECGs at home connecting it back with ECGs in the hospital. MUSE is also available through the EMRs today – look at the Epic App Orchard.
As an industry with a growing consumerism component, healthcare needs all the players to come together to create a workflow that connects data from consumer devices and medical devices. This will create the ecosystem that will allow clinicians to gain the right information and insights to treat patients well and on-time.
On behalf of GE Healthcare, I invite all medical and consumer device players to work together to build a better health care future for us all.

On National Signing Day 2019, Ole Miss was able to come away with one of the top players in the state of Mississippi. Jerrion Ealy of Jackson Prep is a four-star prospect, ranked 58th in the country by Rivals. At 5'9" and 195 pounds, he is listed as an athlete by Rivals, but runningback by ESPN.
Jerrion Ealy racked up 1,526 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns in 2018, averaging 8.9 yards a clip on his way to another state title for Jackson Prep (their seventh in a row). Ealy also set the record for most rushing yards ever in an Under Armour All-American Game, by running for 116 yards in three quarters.

Q: sending binary file over socket I have been trying to send(using send or write functions) 40 byte of (since the requirement is it should work for any length of stream)binary file over socket. But the couldn't send more than 8byte. I tried with loop also.
what could be possible problem.
Here under is part of the code
    char buf;
    char *sbuf;
    FILE *fin;
    fin = fopen(file.dat, "rb");

   while( fread(&buf, sizeof(char), 1, fin) > 0 && (fin != NULL))
   counter++;
   fseek( fin, 0 , SEEK_SET );
   sbuf = (char *) malloc(sizeof(char)*(counter + 1));
   fread(sbuf, 1, counter, fin);

   // I tried both of this methods

    int x;

  x = write(s, sbuf, sizeof(sbuf));

 printf("sent data size is %d\n", x); //prints 8bytes only while file.dat is of size    40bytes

 // the other method

  int total = 0;
  int *len;
  int bytesleft = *len;

   while(total < *len) {
    x = write(s, sbuf+total, bytesleft);
    if (x == -1) { break; }
    total += x;
    bytesleft -= x;
   }

  printf("sent data size is %d\n", x); //also prints 8bytes only while file.dat is of size 40bytes

A: You have multiple problems with your code. The first is that you need to check the file pointer fin before you try to do anything with it. It also wont be set to NULL automatically, so if the file is opened properly the condition fin != NULL will always be true in the loop.
Another problem is that you first read all data, and then you try to read more data which will fail. You use fseek and ftell to get the file size very easily. Then use rewind to go back to the beginning of the file.
When you have the size of the file you allocate memory for it, and read into that buffer. And don't use sizeof on a pointer, it will return the size of the pointer and not what it points to.
After you've read the file, you have to send it. You might need to send it in a loop until all data has been sent.

A: This code invokes undefined behavior:
  int *len;
  int bytesleft = *len;

   while(total < *len) { ... }

You have never initialized len. Anything can happen.
Also, you can't fread() after reaching end of file. You want to return to the beginning of the file before reading again. I suggest using rewind()

The latest update if the EU cattle price league table by the Livestock and Meat Commission puts Ireland in 10th position.
It shows while prices in Britain and Northern Ireland (NI) have shown strong increases in euro terms prices in recent weeks Irish prices have recorded a slight decline. In the week ending September 21 the R3 heifer price was 356.6c/kg, down 2.6c/kg from the 359.1c/kg paid in the week ending August 24.
This moved it down one position on the league table to tenth position. The Irish price in the week ending September 21 was 28.0c/kg below the EU average price and 57.1c/kg lower than the equivalent price in Northern Ireland.
The LMC outline that the EU cattle prices league table provides a useful summary of developments in farmgate prices across key EU markets. EU countries are ranked in terms of their R3 heifer price which provides a good indicator of the trade across the EU.
Britain has retained top spot in the EU league table with an equivalent R3 heifer price of 443.7c/kg. This is an increase of 19.5c/kg from the week ending 24 August 2014. This strong increase in the GB R3 heifer price saw the GB/EU price differential widen from 43.5c/kg in the week ending August 24 to 59.1c/kg in the week ending September 21.
Meanwhile in NI the LMC also outline in the week ending September 21 the R3 heifer price in NI was the equivalent of 413.7c/kg, up 10.9c/kg from 402.8c/kg in the week ending 24 August 2014. That put the NI R3 heifer price 29.1c/kg higher than the EU average in the week ending September 21 compared to 22.1c/kg in the week ending August 24. This increase in the R3 heifer price moved it up one position on the league table to second place.


What could've been an awful plot for the LGBTQ community is fixed with a beautiful and hilarious self-discovery twist.
After they're mistaken as lesbians, Karma (Katie Stevens) and Amy (Rita Volk) devise a plan to become popular in their forward-thinking high school. They accept their nomination as homecoming queens, but when they kiss on stage, Amy realizes she might not be faking it.
The performances in this show are brilliant and hit every right note with their comedy. While Karma's character is hard to like, Stevens plays her with great charisma. Meanwhile, Volk has heartfelt moments as the sexually confused Amy.
Their co-stars, Gregg Sulkin, Michael Willett and Bailey De Young, also all bring their own charming quirks in smartly written characters.

A quotation by Richard Courant
It becomes the urgent duty of mathematicians, therefore, to meditate about the essence of mathematics, its motivations and goals and the ideas that must bind divergent interests together.
Scientific American 211 September 1964
Since the seventeenth century, physical intuition has served as a vital source for mathematical porblems and methods. Recent trends and fashions have, however, weakened the connection between mathematics and physics; mathematicians, turning away from their roots of mathematics in intuition, have concentrated on refinement and emphasized the postulated side of mathematics, and at other times have overlooked the unity of their science with physics and other fields. In many cases, physicists have ceased to appreciate the attitudes of mathematicians. This rift is unquestionably a serious threat to science as a whole; the broad stream of scientific development may split into smaller and smaller rivulets and dry out. It seems therefore important to direct our efforts towards reuniting divergent trends by classifying the common features and interconnections of many distinct and diverse scientific facts.
Methods of Mathematical Physics
For scholars and laymen alike it is not philosophy but active experience in mathematics itself that can alone answer the question: What is mathematics?
What is mathematics? (with H Robbins)
Mathematics as an expression of the human mind reflects the active will, the contemplative reason, and the desire for aesthetic perfection. Its basic elements are logic and intuition, analysis and construction, generality and individuality.


Rock and roll developed in the late 1940s by taking elements of genres like blues, jazz, country, and gospel, and combining them together. At its core, rock and roll defined counter-culture. The rebellious essence of the genre gave birth to new eras of music — punk rock, hip hop, and even electronic dance music.
Its influence spreads far beyond music. Rock has provided inspiration for fashion, culture, and even neologisms.
In its relatively short history, the culture of rock and roll appeals to younger generations. This idea of going against the crowd and discovering your individuality is empowering. It's why brands like Audi love it so much.
In Audi's latest spot, "Rock and Roll," they make the claim that "intelligence is the new rock and roll." These people that define rock culture in this spot retain their individuality, all while excelling in their respective fields of technology, business, and even sports.
Sports Studio worked with production company Park Pictures and ad agency Venables Bell & Partners to provide the complete football practice uniform rentals for this spot.

Avalon High
This article is about the Meg Cabot novel. For the film adaptation, see Avalon High (film). For schools of a similar name, see Avalon School (disambiguation).
Avalon High is a young adult novel by Meg Cabot, published in 2005. It reached number 3 on The New York Times' children's best sellers list in January 2006.[1] Three manga volumes have been released: Coronation Volume 1: The Merlin Prophecy, Coronation Volume 2: Homecoming, and Coronation Volume 3: Hunter's Moon.[2]

Ellie Harrison has just moved to Annapolis, Maryland. Her new school, Avalon High, seems like a typical high school with the stereotypical students: Lance the jock, Jennifer the cheerleader, Marco, the bad boy/desperado, and Will, the senior class president, quarterback, the student every girl wants and all around good guy. But not everyone at Avalon High is who they appear to be, not even Ellie herself.
CharactersEdit
Elaine "Ellie" Harrison: the new student at Avalon High—she moved to Annapolis, Maryland from Minnesota and is presumed to represent Elaine of Astolat for most of the novel, though it is revealed later that she plays a different role in the legend, The Lady of the Lake, Arthur's magical protector.
Arthur William "Will" Wagner Jr.: has a slightly disruptive family relationship at home and is a star quarterback for the Avalon High School Fighting Knights, he represents King Arthur, as most people thought.
Jennifer Gold: a cheerleader and Will's girlfriend who corresponds to Queen Guinevere in the legend of Arthur.
Lance Reynolds: the Avalon High School football team's cornerback, who is Will's best friend. He goes behind Will's back to cheat with Jennifer. Lance corresponds to Sir Lancelot.
Marco Campbell: Marco is Will's step-brother/half brother. He represent Mordred.
Mr. Morton: Avalon High School English teacher. He is a member of "The Order of the Bear" and represents Merlin.
Admiral Arthur William Wagner Sr.: He is Will's father and he corresponds to Uther Pendragon in the legend. He seemingly murders his best friend (by sending him into combat where he was killed) and then marries his wife.
Jean Wagner: Jean is Admiral Wagner's wife, who married him 6 months after her husband died in combat. Although originally it was believed that she was merely Will's stepmother, it was later revealed (by Mr. Morton) that she was in actuality Will's birth mother. She corresponds to Igraine in the legend.
Ellie's Parents: professors of medieval history on sabbatical. Her mother is writing a book on Elaine, the so-called "lily maid" of Astolat, and her father is writing his on the sword that Ellie takes to the park and hands to Will during his face-off with Marco, thus revealing herself as the Lady of the Lake. Ellie's parents care about her despite being an embarrassment at times.
MiscellaneousEdit
The book has twenty-nine chapters and each chapter starts with a quote, which relatively relates to the content of the chapter, from Alfred Lord Tennyson's famous poem about Elaine the Lady of Shalott.
There is a subtle foreshadowing in the book's first chapter that points to Ellie being the Lady of the Lake, as opposed to the Lady of Shalott. Her home state, Minnesota, is known as "the Land of 10,000 Lakes".
AdaptationEdit
Disney Channel adapted the book as a Disney Channel Original Movie of the same name in 2010. The movie stars Britt Robertson, Gregg Sulkin, Joey Pollari, Devon Graye and Steve Valentine. The movie premiered November 12, 2010.[3] Some parts of the movie are filmed in New Zealand.
Plot AlterationEdit
The characters in the film are both renamed and have their mythic alter egos swapped, with respect to the book. In the film Allie (Ellie in the book), rather than Will, is King Arthur (but several characters initially believe otherwise); Mr. Moore (Mr. Morton in the book) is in the film Mordred, replacing Marco; and Miles (instead of Moore/Morton) is Merlin. In the film, Marco reveals himself to be a member of the Order of the Bear, and determined to protect Will (believing him to be Arthur), although Allie initially believes Marco to be Mordred.
In the film, Mr. Moore reveals that he suspected Allie to be the Lady of the Lake and is shocked that she is Arthur. The climactic battle scene, which in the book takes place in the ravine, in the film occurs in the school theater (which magically becomes a beach).
The students are explained as the reincarnations of their alter egos, as opposed to merely corresponding to them. Allie is an only child; she no longer has a brother. Since Will is not Arthur, some connections are eliminated: Will's father is not trying to make Will join the navy; Will does not sail, nor does he have a dog (in the book there are connections to the names of Arthur's dog and boat). Avalon High's team name is the Knights, not Excalibur. Many potentially violent and threatening scenes were removed and scene settings changed to make the movie more appropriate for younger children.

You can read his full statement, along with an Instagram post below.
It is with a very heavy heart and coming from a place of some hurt and frustration, that I announce to you all that I will no longer be a part of For Today. As much as I wish that this could be an easily explained situation, it really is more than that. So as I write to you the multiple reasons why I am no longer going to be a part For Today, I simply ask that you read the entirety of this before making a judgement and before taking quotes or portions of this article to share your opinion.
At first, I was completely fine with the conversation and didn't make a single argument or complaint. I'm attributing that reaction to being mentally and physically exhausted due to spending the night prior in airports with cancelled flights. After two flights, and more than 24 hours later, I finally made it home to take care of my family.
After a day or two of council from several close, Christ loving friends and family, I had reached a new conclusion and attempted to reach out to the band to express the multiple reasons that they had not honored me, the way the Bible says to, as a brother in the faith.
1: Emotionally, it was dishonoring that the band felt that the best time to announce this to me was in the midst of such stressful and exhausting events in my family, much less over the phone.
2: Financially speaking it was dishonoring. The band knew that we pay taxes at the end of the year rather than paying from each check and that a couple of weeks after asking me to leave, I would be paying out majorly. For them to think it was best to ask me to leave the band, without a full time job lined up, with a major payment ahead of me was inconsiderate.
3: Biblically, it was dishonoring that they had found issues with me as a brother in the faith, but instead of pulling me aside personally or communally to talk through these issues, they simply came together without me and decided what would be most beneficial for me and my family.
I communicated with the band and stated to them that I thought it would truly be honoring to me to allow me to finish out these summer festivals so as to ease this transition and honor my ministry as a husband who is held accountable to providing for his wife and family.
I sent this to the band and asked that they pray together about it before answering. Assuming I would get a response from them as a group, I instead received 3 differing responses and opinions.
1: The beliefs that I hold on 'how I should live my life after salvation are contradictory to the Gospel'. It was expressed by one member that "I don't believe in the same Jesus or gospel" as the members of the band.
3: 'We just aren't on the same page and its not about doctrine as much as its just that I am too distracted with whats going on at home.' From their perspective, I was only giving 50% to the band and 50% to my marriage and that they want to honor me by sending me home so that I am not half way serving either ministry. As much as I agree that this is true, not only to me but to every member in the band who is gone from their wives and children from upwards of 6 months out of the year, I will simply say that it is the responsibility of my wife and I to come to this conclusion. Not the band's.
About a week after this the band changed their opinion on the summer festivals and offered them to me for a final tour. I declined after many hours of contemplation.
I will say that every member has texted me at least once asking how things are at home and there has been an attempt to try to make some sort of small talk to relieve awkwardness and tension. Ryan has reached out many more times than the others and with much more empathy. I note this to say that I appreciate his attempts to actually show his concern about how this is affecting my life.
Finally, I want to make it clear that I am not writing this as an act of revenge or in contempt and I do not hate the members of the band in any way. I simply just want to make sure that the truth is known about exactly why I will no longer be with For Today.
The years of traveling the world with For Today and In The Midst of Lions have truly shaped my life and have taught me so much that I apply to my life daily. The memories and friendships I have made along the way are life-long and I appreciate and love every one of you who has put in the time, money and effort to make sure we were loved and had a place that felt like home no matter where we were in the world. You all are truly the ones who make a band succeed and without you all I would have not had the pleasure of doing what I love for so long. So thank you to all of you.
For now I will be at home with my amazing wife and enjoying my life at home… Maybe if an opportunity in the future presents itself I will be back on the road again playing for all of you.
Again the biggest thank you to all of you.

SXSW Interview with the Cast and Writer/Director of Family
Kelly McInerney
Kate (played by Taylor Schilling) is a businesswoman in New York married to her career. When her brother (played by Eric Edelstein) begs her to watch her niece, Maddie (played by Bryn Vale) because his wife (played by Allison Tolman)'s mother is ill – she drags her feet but eventually agrees. Though, while under Kate's supervision, Maddie befriends a bunch of Juggalos and Kate has to struggle with kind of saving her from those "wrong side of the tracks" type people. The film eventually becomes a dual coming of age story for both 12 year old Maddie and 30 year old Kate.
Kate doesn't like kids or just any other people in general for that matter. She is cold and too brash for anyone to like her, primarily because all she cares about is herself and her career. Yet, she is still the hero of this film, you're a fan of her and you root for her the entire time. It's refreshing to see that, to be blunt, women can play assholes too. Steinel write the script because, to put it simply, there aren't enough good parts for women.
"They're always either the girlfriend or the wife," Steinel explained, "So I wanted to write something for someone who was kind of terrible but in a funny way. Men can always be funny terrible and get away with it so that's what I wanted." Tolman, who plays Kate's sister-in-law, agrees, "They certainly don't make films where the asshole is the hero whereas in our lives, some of us are assholes sometimes," she explained at the film's post Q&A.
But it isn't just about the hero being essentially the anti-hero at the same time. Each character has a refreshing new take on the role. Even the brother, played by Edelstein, is not your typical movie husband. "You don't see guys written like this, this guy is great with his wife making the calls," Edelstein explained, "This guy is puddy in her hands – 'whatever you want babe I'm here to support you' – and it's so much funnier that way."
Truly, the most honest character is 12 year old Maddie, played by Bryn Vale. "Maddie is definitely a challenging character but I think it was easier for me because I could relate," explained Vale. She doesn't have really many friends because she is different and unique. Her mother wants her to do ballet but she wants to do karate. She wants to wear capes and play with swords she made because she's creative – and that doesn't fit in with the boring, typical 12 year olds at her school. So, of course, she wants to be friends with the one kid that is nice to her – Baby Joker – who is, in fact, a juggalo.
Juggalos are fans of the band Insane Clown Posse, they wear clown makeup on their face and sing about pretty nasty stuff. "The whole Juggalo thing just felt like the most realest, craziest, darkest play you can go to find yourself in a way," explained Steinel. Juggalos wear face paint, similar to masks, and in a way the whole film is about taking off your mask and finding your true self, so the idea of meeting juggalos seemed to fit.
Overall, there truly aren't many coming of age tales focused on girls and women and this is the perfect film for it. It's funny, honest, and real. Each character has a moment to shine. Sometimes a strong female driven movie doesn't have to be dramatic or romatic – it just has to be honest and relatable that is exactly what this film is.

So here we have a reference to those who are at present in act, members of the Church and the others, all the others on the face of the earth who are called to be members of the Church, for whom Our Savior died, just as He did for you and for me.
In the Solemn High Mass, after the offering of the chalice, the subdeacon receives the humeral veil and holds the paten in plano, at the foot of the altar. In that position he represents Our Lady of Sorrows accompanying Her divine Son during the Passion, Stabat Mater dolorosa, but he also represents the seraphim covering their face with their wings before the Majesty of the Thrice Most Holy, as in the vision of the prophet Isaiah.
I have already mentioned the reference to the souls in Purgatory when we omit the blessing of the water, during masses for the dead.
So, by looking carefully at only a few simple rites and prayers of the Offertory, you see how the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass connects us with the 4,000 years of waiting for the Messiah in the Old Testament, with all the faithful since the Passion of Our Lord until the end of the world, with the Saints and Angels of Paradise, and with the souls in Purgatory.
The Sacrifice of Our Lord is truly at the same time the Sacrifice of His Mystical Body, the Church.

Extension and Redesignation of Yemen TPS
Announced on July 6th by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Yemeni people has been extended through March 3, 2023. There will be an 18-month period in which Yemenis can either extend or re-designate their TPS.
One may ask under what circumstances the DHS decided this course of action. In response, Yemen has been in political turmoil since the Arab Spring after a failed transition of power. As a result the Shia Muslim rebellion has remained at war with the Sunni Muslim government since 2014, when the transition of power occurred. As said by Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas, "Yemen continues to experience worsening humanitarian and economic conditions that prevent individuals from safely returning to their homes therefore, I have decided to extend and re-designate Yemen for Temporary Protected Status. We will continue to protect and offer these individuals a place of residency temporarily in the United States."
This announcement of extension and redesignation of Yemen TPS permits around 1,700 current beneficiaries to keep TPS through March 3, 2023 and about 480 Yemeni nationals who have been continuously residing in the U.S. to file initial TPS applications.
If you are eligible for TPS for Yemen and have not held TPS for Yemen before, go to the linked USCIS webpage and fill out an I-821 form in order to hold legal U.S. immigration status.

Why Is An Employee Uniform Policy Agreement So Important?
Having an agreement between your employees in regards to their uniform or dress code is pivotal to creating a great working environment for your employees. You're not required by law to have one, so why even bother? Well, an employee uniform policy agreement is important for many reasons.


The visions here at Great Spirits Ranch continue to astound me. Last night I awoke at 4:30 AM and knew I must do a DreamShield meditation for the next phase of the Shift, a phase we've all been waiting billions of years for, since the birth of this universe. And without any "thinking" I knew what I must do: Expand Heaven.
And a great cheer rose from the countless angels and spirits. Then, in utter silence we began the work of expanding Heaven from a tiny molecule to a vastness that will encompass the entire universe. The force and energy of the work of the multitude felt like a non-pressure. I was expanding too.
The start of Heaven's expansion underway, I returned to my exhilarated human body in my RV bedroom at the amazing Great Spirits Ranch. Falling instantly back to peaceful slumber for the rest of the night, I had wondrous dreams of Heaven's glorious expansion. I saw the divine feminine unfold in its full beauty and power. I saw the masculine become invulnerable to all disease and disorder.

By Chuck Reherman
OKLAHOMA CITY – Jaxen Gilmore is one of those quiet-type athletics that lets his words speak with his action.
And, his actions brought him a second state championship.
Gilmore won the class 6A 145-pound state title Saturday night at State Wrestling Championships in the Ron Norick Arena at the State Fairgrounds Arena in Oklahoma City.
Gilmore scored a 16-3 major decision over Mustang's Tate Picklo in the third meeting between the two wrestlers this season.
The win also helped Gilmore win the Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament.
Gilmore had lost to Picklo in the first meeting between the teams due to an injury default. He beat Picklo in the finals of the Central Oklahoma Athletic Conference Tournament.
In the finals, he controlled the tempo of the match, took control in the second period and walked away with the state title.
"I felt like I took control of the match in the second period," Gilmore said. "The first period we were kind of feeling for each other. He beat me once and I beat him, so neither one of us were dominant going in.
"I felt my offense was my best strategy going in," he said. "I don't like to game plan off someone else's offense, I just like to control the match. Going into it, I felt pretty controlled and the second period after he chose to go neutral, something flipped in my head and said I have to do it now, I have to turn it up and get my two points. Those turned into five."
From the second period on, it was all Gilmore, and he came close to scoring a technical fall over the Mustang freshman.
"My counter offense is pretty much my game plan," he said. "I like to wait for my opponent to shoot and then counter off of it. And, not necessarily countering his offense, but stopping his offense set up what I wanted to do.
"It feels good to win like that, but I didn't really see it as a rivalry, but a good match from a good freshman," he added. "That's the best. It is hard to find guys like him, because he is so tough. And, that is from the bottom of my heart, he is a scrapper. But, it is awesome and the best feeling in the world to win a state championship."
Gilmore was not really challenged in the tournament. He pinned Austin Daniels (34-10) of Jenks in 59 seconds in the quarterfinal round and took less than half that time to win the semifinals. He pinned Sand Springs' Chris Kirby in 26 seconds.
Gilmore, who is headed to Oklahoma City University to wrestle this fall, finished his senior season with a 39-3 record. Gilmore amassed a 147-18 record during his four year career with the Millers.
"Jaxen did what he is suppose to do, because he is a state championship wrestler," YHS head coach Joe Schneider said. "He went out and took care of business and that is the kind of wrestler he is. He is very calm, cool and collected and that showed this year and throughout the four years he has been here.
"This was a great way for him to finish his career, winning a second state tournament," he added. "That's a testament to his hard work from the first time he came into the program to the state finals."
Yukon's Studd Morris was the only one of six Miller qualifiers to reach the finals. He finished second.

Yukon finished tied for seventh with Ponca City in the team race with 38 points. Choctaw won the state title with 138, besting Broken Arrow, who was second with 129.5.
"A seventh place finish was pretty good for only having two guys actually earn team points," Schneider said. "I really wish some of the other qualifiers would have tasted a little success in that arena.
Morris, who finished his senior season with a 34-7 record, lost to Carter Young of Sand Springs 3-0 in the 106-pound finals. Young came into the finals with a 39-1 record.
Morris opened the state tournament with a 19-7 major decision over David Boucher of Bartlesville in the quarterfinals.
In the semifinals, he posted a 6-3 decision over Jared Hill of Broken Arrow.
"I was happy for Studd to make it to the finals," Schneider said. "I know he really had his sights set on winning it, so I'm sure that is very hard for him. I'm sure they will both (Morris and Gilmore) will be competing in freestyle tournaments and looking to contend well at the next level."
YHS had four more qualifiers for state, Kylon Burgert, Landis Scoon, Corbin Gordon and Ashton Aldridge.
Burgert went 0-2 at 126-pounds. He lost to Cameron Picklo of Mustang 7-1 in the quarterfinals and to Branden Elrod of Jenks, 5-4 in the consolation round.
Scoon, at 152-pounds, also went 0-2. He lost to Kaleb Taber of Sand Springs by fall in 1:34 in the quarterfinals, then lost to Kyle Knowles of Edmond Memorial in 43 seconds in the consolation round.
Gordon, who finished fourth at regionals, had to wrestle in a match with the fifth place qualifier from the east to get to the final eight. He lost to Keland Bearpaw of Sapulpa 9-2 in that match.
Aldridge also had to wrestle in the wrestle-in match and pinned Broken Arrow's Noah Cortea of Broken Arrow, pinning him in 6:58 (58 seconds into overtime).
He lost to Sam Smith of Stillwater by fall in 5:58 in the quarterfinals. He then lost to Blake Russell of Mustang by fall in 1:11 in the consolation round.
